hannity. we will be watching the president's speech sunday and talk about it on monday, we hope you have a great weekend. we'll be independent, never the media mob. see you back here monday, thank you so much. ♪ ♪ >> laura: on laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" on a very busy friday night. questions and a senate hearing rooted in science have critics smearing senator rand paul as transphobic. well, tonight, he is here and will respond. as he struggles with the english language, joe biden shines out french. raymond arroyo tells us how it went in friday's follies. next, locking down the next election. and that's the focused tonight "angle." under increasing pressure to justify the obscene ongoing lockdown of the u.s. capitol

grounds, democrats tried to paper it over this week with the vague warnings about tele- to terrible things i can happen at the hands of terrible people. the acting capitol police chief and a pathetic attempt to shift blame from their inadequate preparation claimed yesterday that he had been briefed about troubling intelligence reports. >> members of the militia groups that were present on january 6th stated their desire that they want to blow up the capitol until as many as members of his possible are with the direct nexus to the state of the union. we think it's prudent that the capitol police maintain its enhanced and robust security posture until we address those vulnerabilities going forward. >> laura: translation, agencies one billions of dollars to keep the government and

accessible to people who pay the bills. this will include systems and surveillance to monitor, track, and harass law-abiding americans. there's a reason though should not be public now, we want to see them. threats against the capitol, members of congress, cabinet secretaries. they are nothing new, they've been around since i worked in government. by their amorphous reasoning, all of washington -- from now on, should be a military encampment where no citizen is allowed to go without special papers, special dining, special permission. but we know it's a charade. while democrats insist on serious fencing and barricades along their place of work, they're throwing up of the southern border and so any of migrants, terrorists who want tn border essentially walk right in. but americans, who want to bring

their family to visit the capital and speak with a representative is treated like a terrorist. i was thinking today that's the continued lockdown of capitol hill is kind of like the covid lockdown with the moving goalposts, lack of any metrics, and vague warnings about potential danger down the road. last spring, dr. burke anthology repeated the refrain 15 days to slow the curb but now it's basically we can't open until the virus is vanquished everywhere in the world. see the change? pelosi and schumer doing the same thing by keeping the fear of january 6th ally to politicize their grip on power. they're getting a big boost as well from the bootleggers in the media. speak of the republican party can no longer say they don't agree with insurrectionist scum of the bigots, the racist scum of white supremacists.

>> the extremist groups. groups and extremists. >> laura: by the way, they are talking about you. any conservative falls into the category where they are concerned. we were told that 26,000 national guard troops were needed just temporarily to keep biden's inauguration side. now, they are going to say all vulnerabilities are addressed going forward as the acting chief of u.s. police said. the barricades and the truth won't be removed from washington, d.c., until democrats are voted out of office. when you can't say that "the angle" didn't borneo. i worry that these gates and cement barriers, 12-foot fences will never go away. that's going to be the "new normal." any time you hear democrats in

the ally citing online chatter, can justify taking away your freedom and spending your money. pierced by the senses should kick in at this point. even "the washington post" had been forced to concede that troubling online conversation fails to materialize into a tangible threat in the run-up to biden inauguration, the fbi one law enforcement agencies that they were posing as far left guard members. they took aggressive measures to secure the capital and ultimately come in day passed without incident. all right. the truth comes out in the post. again, if the democrats cared about the security come i really cared about it, they would not be trying to dismantle ice and pause deportation for months on end. but what's really galling is that the very people who didn't read or act on the intel leading up to january 6th now want to

interpret it. >> we know that they weren't only interested in attacking members of congress and officers. they wanted to send a symbolic message to the nation and who was in charge of the legislative process. >> laura: there's a symbolic message out there all right and is coming from pelosi and schumer. the barricades and fences, the assault vehicles and troops, there what you could be facing next year if you attend an anti-lockdown or a pro second amendment rally. he will be the next suspect in the domestic terror drama. every opportunity, g.o.p. members of congress have to start asking members of the biden administration whether they believe that china or trump is a bigger threat to america. is it the ccp or the g.o.p. and the supporters that we should be worried about?

i don't know, may be nancy pelosi answer the question. >> we have a domestic terrorism challenge in this country. that's what the director of the fbi testified to at the end of september. domestic violence taking more lives than international violence in this country. >> laura: the logical follow to that is the biggest terror problem are all here in the united states, why do we need so many troops in the middle east? that's "the angle." joining me now, now, harmeet dhillon, civil rights attorney and founder of the civil rights organization. i know you spoke with conservatives across the country who attended the trump rally on january 6th, they didn't storm the capital. but those people who were

peacefully assembling in washington, is it true that they are dealing with fbi raids and in some cases being blocked from talking to counsel? what's going on here? >> i have heard that, i've spoken with dozens of people who reached out or family members who reached out about fbi questioning, fbi don writes as if they are a terrorist. seizing the records and holding people incommunicado and not honoring the request for counsel. there resting all over the states and in some cases transporting them on matt's to d.c. what's disturbing about this like you said, laura, there's no proportionality here to deliver an attempt to criminalize a political act. some of the people who i believe engaged in nonviolent protests at the capitol are treated like political prisoners in our country. this is the type of thing you

see another country. it back 20 years ago i was one of the few conservatives who pointed out the patriot act could one day be ruggedized against the united states citizens. in 20 years later, that's exactly what's happening and we are going to see patriot act to to control and advance criminalize eve in any time of dissent with the government. >> laura: it's also -- it's telling people, ari fleischer, watch out. the message from law enforcement, looks like the fbi, certainly the democrats, included all of this, watch out. you go to one of the rallies in the future you might be surveilled on a drone, take a selfie and posted online, you might be dealing with letters from the fbi or being detained, or question. that's -- i don't know if that's a police state, i don't know what it is.

>> that's what's done in the 1950s, 1960s with the fbi under hoover and it led to a lot of liberals complaining about the heavy-handed justice. the only justice i knowing that you know, were supposed to know is a justice that must be blind. in the tactic used against those that engaged in violence at the capitol, those are being used against the summer in portland rights. the people who try to take over a federal courthouse. are we going in with the fbi seizing social media. if you commit violence against the united states you should be subject to the law if you're a peaceful protester, you should not be. but the aggressiveness used against capitol protesters which i salute -- the capitol writers need to be used against rioters on the other side.

>> laura: did we ever see that? blind justice, 100%, but the blind hold been thrown off. they are tweeting out individuals one yesterday looks like i don't know she was 13 or 14-year-old girl. i don't know what she did or she did anything i've no idea. i don't recall, that kind of same flurry of fbi have you seen this person. maybe i missed it but i don't recur seeing it last summer or recently when portland was still burning. >> you don't recall because it didn't happen, laura. not only that, or attorney general nominee equivocated and said that a tax on the courthouses at night are not the same thing as a tax during the daytime. the vast majority being detained are not violence, did not go into the building. were talking about night and

day, no fbi manhunt for absolutely terror reeking criminals in many american cities. the double standard is striking for the violence. as to arresting nonviolent protesters who are protesting outside state capitals, and never happen. we are seeing it happen in the united states today. imagine the chilling effect if your family member or anything does this people, their criminalizing. >> laura: their criminalizing belief. political thought is being criminalized. that's what's happening. that is terrifying and anybody watching the show tonight should be very concerned about this trajectory that our country is on right now, okay? they don't want to debate the idea, they don't want to subject their idea to the court of public opinion. they don't want to do that. they want to prevent people from having rallies, protesting the lockdown, abortion, any issue

that requires activism on the conservative side. they want to blunt to, say all, you're all white supremacist. >> this is the follow. when hillary said deplorable, were using the powers of the police state and the government to say to people you're no longer entitled to your opinion and the heavy hand of justice interferes. this is part of the cancel culture. glenn greenwald, glenn greenwald, principled liberal and old fashion sense liberal drawn gmac has drawn a line and liberalism and the aclu power of free speech against the progressives. the progressives who want to drum people out of society and off air. the silencing movement is one of the scariest you can imagine america. we need more liberals like glenn

greenwald end conservatives like you, loretta pointed out. >> laura: every person in congress should say we should not fund any militarization of the capitol for one more minute until you make public the suppose it the right that you say are imminent that required the people to have no contact with the representatives going forth. i think all of the militarization of the u.s. capitol, it's part of the whole dynamic that they got pushed out. phenomenal analysis as always. not just coming from d.c. but also from the indoctrination effort poisoning our education system. in fact, the oldest chinese-american association in the country's warning that the infiltration of critical race theory into our schools is reminiscent of maus cultural resolution. they're fighting back and taking the initiative to on dr. and ate the kids. joining me now, chris rufo, and

contributing editor at cu journal. chris, chairman mao believed the cultural revolution was necessary to affect the political change that he wanted or obviously to china. >> what we are singing the united states and the idea of the economic revolution, based on the lower classes rising up and over to overthrowing the bourgeoisie. you have to infiltrate the institutions of culture and change the culture, destroy the history of the united states we can bring about the utopia. it locally, who survived and fled are making sure it doesn't happen here. >> laura: what's interesting and i think a lot of people missed it, that china is now using the language of the left, okay? they are talking about the axis

of white supremacy in calling out the five eyes countries, the english-speaking countries and holding them accountable saying that china has accused australia of being a part of a axis of white supremacy because of our intelligence alliance. canada, new zealand, u.k., the united states. so, the gangsters in the english speaking language are white supremacists. you see how their interweaving being lynn which of the left into their own global outreach? >> we live in the bazaar movement where the left is using the rhetoric of the chinese cultural revolution and the ccp is adopting the rhetoric of the liberal left. we knew for the last 100 years, the left has always adopted the language of the american left in order to bash the united states.

i firmly stand against the ccp and i hope our friends will do the same. >> laura: where are all the liberals encouraging the boycott of the beijing olympics? they are all rights activists until they are not. if china is against trump, than the left has to be with china. something like that. "the new york times" michelle goldberg wrote an op-ed specifically targeting you, chris, your effort saying but the right for all the chest beating in the value of entertaining dangerous notions is really interested in debating the tenant of critical race theory. and wants to eradicate the republic institutions. you're afraid of being a critical race theory, chris? i can't believe that. >> that's categorically false and right here on your show i will issue a challenge to any prominent critical race theorist in "the new york times," i will debate you on the floor of "the new york times" building at itself.

i will dismantle them. if she stands by her column, organize the debate immediately or the truth will be out that actually either side, the critical race theory to refuse to put their bankrupt idea out into the public for scrutiny. they hide behind the institutional power like "the new york times," but that time is up. we've exposed them and i look forward to seeing -- >> laura: i have an idea. michelle goldberg, come on, the water is warm on "the ingraham angle." come on, debate, make it fair, you get your time, let the viewers decide. great to see you tonight, chris. you look casual with that future, miami life. senate hearing yesterday, senator rand paul was labeled transphobic. the senator is here to respond next. plus he has a message for dr. fauci. stay there. ♪ ♪

dr. levine, do you believe minors are capable of making such a life changing decision as changing one's sex. >> senator, thank you for your interest in the western period of transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field. >> do you support the government intervening to override the parents consent to give a child puberty blockers, hormones, or amputation surgery of breats and. >> i will be pleased to come to your office and talk with you and your staff about the standards of care's and the complexity. >> let it go onto the record that the witness refused to answer the question. i find it ironic that the left that went knots over hydroxychloroquine, that they are being used off label. >> laura: the perfectly

logical, accurate line of questioning, senator rand paul became enemy number one at the other table. >> at least the kind of interesting coherent theology, lately, he's been spending his days trafficking right-wing conspiracy theories lobbing transphobic questions. >> who is the absolute worst? kentucky senator rand paul, of course, insulting your fellow human who is trans as republican requirements. >> laura: here to respond, senator himself. senator rand paul of kentucky. i thought they were supposed to be the party of signs, but for their answer to you, that doctor, paul, it's too complex for you to understand. what's going on here? >> a lot of people voted for middle-class joe biden who is supposed to have these working-class values. my guess is none of them realize he's going to appoint someone so

extreme as to believe a minor can make a life altering decision to change their sex even overriding the parental consent. i think they will do it with no parental consent and also do weights if the parent said no and the kid said yes. she's also on record as saying, yeah, if there is three kids we will do even sooner. think about it what it means, a homeless child who's either had a rough childhood are no parents, a mental illness themselves, she's going to do a sex change even quicker. they did a survey, half of them operated on people under 18. this isn't a wild question, it's a real question and they're giving the hormones that change the sex, testosterone to girls, entered into boys come up between the ages of 14 and 16. it's a crime against nature and it's also something that should require parental consent. >> laura: you actually can't

change somebody sex, that's the scientific falsehood. you can't change their sex, dna is dna, correct? >> you can change their secondary characteristics. some appearances resembling -- >> laura: that's not changing your sex, that's not changing your sex. right, so, a new gallup poll, very interesting. it shows that there is been a fairly significant generational shift when it comes to identifying as lgbtq, now generations the, apparently 15.9% identify as lgbt. among billing us, 9.1%, generation x, 3.8%. senator, are we supposed to believe it's a natural shift or are external factors including the internet, social media so forth having an effect here?

>> the story of carrabelle from england is an interesting one. if she was, confused, and she read online about transsexuals and so maybe that's what i am. she went to a clinic and they encouraged her that that's what she was. i don't know if anybody discharged her or discouraged her, she had a chemical transformation then then she had a double mastectomy and now is 23. she fears she is infertile, she's very unhappy, and she feels as if she was misled. they're actually requiring more parental consent than they use to where as in our country where going the oxidant way. that one question, the media, the left-wing media completely missed the question here. the question is about a minor, and i worked in emergency rooms. we couldn't do anything unless

you're substituting and saving a life of the child, we did nothing without appearance consent. >> laura: apparently the left says you can get an abortion are take hormone blocking medicines. that's okay. everything else, ear piercing, get your parents consent. i want to move on to another medical issue. with all the covid cases, senator paul, plummeting, now we've got all the vaccines on the market, dr. fauci doesn't quite want you getting your life back yet. >> there's a tendency given the deflection of the curve is down to get back to a situation where we are approaching normal, but we have to be careful. we are at a very precarious position where we are right before the fall surge. where anything that could perturb that would give us another surge. we don't want to be people looking at the dark side of things but you want to be realistic. >> laura: senator, there is these vague threats.

it's all meant to suppress us or keep us down, it might come back, there might be a new variant. what's going on here with the constant goalpost shifting? >> they don't want to argue any of the freedom back or the normalization. there's a lot of people predicting the curb downwards is so steep and the curve upwards is pretty steep on those being vaccinated, we could be out of this in a few weeks to a month. it sounds optimistic and nobody can predict for certain, but he sang, you wear a mask for another two years, you might get it if you have the vaccine, give it to the other people. the thing is, they don't prove that happens, but unless he can prove the opposite you can't be free and you have to be huddled in your basement wearing a mask. you get your vaccine, second dose, two weeks out, goal throw away your mask. if you had a disease and you are young person, go out to restaurants and visit your friends, don't hunker down the

basement, go to school, get back to normal. treat with circumspection the idea that the risks should be according to the individual. a lot less for younger people, greater for older people. everybody should adjust. according to that. it's that. >> laura: lockdowns don't work. they don't stop the virus. they prolong herd immunity, the party of science doesn't want to go there. senator, thank you for asking hard questions. i think it was necessary and it opens up a lot of people's eyes and the fact you got all of that grief right told us that you cut fairly close to the core there. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> laura: ladies gaga dog snatching takes a political turn and biden tries he spin at
