interview caitlin jenner, the honest candidacy she has going very, but that's all the time w have left for this evening. hope you set your dvr and never miss an episode. we will never be the media mob your hearts be troubled, laura ingraham takes it home tonight very. >> i'm more a ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle." we have a fun laura: i am a laura ingraham. we have a very fun show for you. the press must have watched a completely different biden address earlier in the week. you will be shocked by the reaction to it, the most extreme and the most in a in plus the return of our mystery guest series. this particular person just recently received a star on the hollywood walk of fame. the big reveal later in the hour and an update on the white

house's most dangerous resident, but first the go-getters versus the gloom game is the focus of tonight's angle. over the past 24 hours we have been overwhelmed by your response to our red state trailblazers townhall in orlando last night, we had five gop governors who joined us for a wide-ranging conversation how they have grown their economies and protected individual freedoms and beaten back the radical leftists dominating the democrat party. none of them had waited for washington's permission to open their businesses or lift their mask mandates, none are cowed by the woke mob, the gender

fluidity crowd. >> one thing all the ceos told me, they could not operate in california. great for their employees, great for the staff, great for their vision of what they want to achieve in their business. >> encourage people to step up and do the right thing and fight back. >> i am going to sign a bill that holds big tech accountable to send to you or platform you. and sensor political candidate speech. >> the democrats very dark vision of america. >> tonight i come to talk about the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the great depression, the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war.

waiting for a box of food to be put in their trunk. more than 400,000 schools and childcare centers have prices levied. laura: it is shocking more people didn't tune in for such an inspiring message. >> we have to come together, root out racism in the civil justice system and to root out systemic racism that plagues american lives in other ways. >> plagues american life. the governors of florida and texas, the most diverse states beg to differ. >> a bunch of horse the newer. give me a break. this country has had more opportunity for more people than any country in the history of the world and doesn't matter where you trace your ancestry from. you use race to divide and attack each other and it is wrong. texas is the land of opportunity for absolutely everybody and we want to unite everybody. >> today's democratic party is

so left it has left america. it tolerates illegal immigration, cobbles criminals, boomers, riders and seek to silence any and all opposition from law-abiding citizens. look what they did to senator tim scott on twitter this week. i guess they thought they were being cute with her uncle tim hashtag but really what they did is they just revealed once again how sick, twisted and anti-american they've become. >> it seems like many people the democratic party, not just the file if it made me people in the democrat party are putting down america day in and day out, almost as if they want to act as if there is not this thing called the american dream and they are absolutely wrong. >> the truth is today's democrats despise our political system, they hate the way most americans live and revile our history and our traditions so when biden talks about creating

opportunity he is just talking about opportunity for big government to grow bigger by taking more of your money and more of your freedom but for the gop governors opportunity means job creation in the private sector, free from the heavy yoke and high taxes and endless redtape. >> texas ranks number one in the nation for black-owned business job creation, black owned job creation, hispanic owned business job creation, hispanic entrepreneurs. >> to become job creators and entrepreneurs kids have to be in school. they have to be learning, have to be playing sports and having a normal life. >> americans also need to be together, not shut away from one another. at least that is what the republicans fought for. >> president biden got on the air and said we want everybody to be playing sports again. i'm like we were doing that last

summer. we were doing that last summer. >> he is completely out of touch with what is going on in our state, does not know what is going on. >> we want you the democrats would seek to use the pandemic to keep us in a continual crisis mode. then that crisis, the pandemic, roles and the next crisis, systemic racism crisis, the climate crisis, hawaii just a clear climate emergency yesterday so the perpetually crises are used to justify the left's brazen efforts to take more of our money and more of our liberty, that is how the game always goes but the only real crisis that america suffers from today are those created by them, democrats like the border crisis or the education crisis or the crisis of rising crime.

so if texas, florida and the other red states and followed new york and california's lead a year ago think about it, america's economy would be in the dumps just like europe, this is ahead by out of germany today where they are implementing once again more pandemic restrictions, meanwhile our first quarter real gdp number that just came out, 6.4% growth, that is truly astounding and biden is trying to claim credits, it is all his doing but he deserves exactly 0 credit for today's booming economy. it was all the doing of donald trump, the red state governors and the american people who rejected the doomsayers and stuck with first principles, they trusted their own constituents over the so-called experts who wanted us masked up and afraid for as long as possible. so if biden had been president a year ago, if he had been president all of america would look like michigan, failing, miserable and pessimistic.

let's not forget how they saw this whole thing unfolding a year ago, they were saying we might not recover from this pandemic economically for decades but what the story of the past year really reveals is that americans can't be held down or held back by washington for a very long. now democrats won the election by selling biden is a nice moderate democrat but now the visitors begin to see that got an elderly hostage to the far left. they've gone from obama's yes we can to biden's yes we are racist. this deeply cynical view means democrats can only occupy america, they can't really govern it. what a depressing world they want to foist on us but optimism beats pessimism any day of the week and by next year a lot of suburban women who voted for

biden will think the doom and gloom social distancing of the democrats has got really old and will be looking for brighter vision. >> all these governors are doing it right and we will have a resurgence of freedom in this country in 2022. >> we saw what a pro-american government looks like. it was all about joy, success, love of country and freedom. that is the angle. joining me now is the cofounder and publisher of the federalist and fox news contributor and massive walls, host of the matt walsh podcast. how much longer can pelosi hang on to this razor thin house majority when the red states are obviously leading us to an economic post pandemic kaboom at least in the short term before lord knows what happens under biden? >> i have to compliment you for

that opening, and eloquent monologue that really frames the question very clearly for us all. this is a situation that these octogenarians are white knuckling it to the end. they are trying to push through everything they can while they can in the space of impending doom they anticipate because we look at the midterm as being the kind of thing that anyone with a political brain can understand is going to lead to a lot of republican success, a lot of conservative success. because of that pelosi and schumer and biden are trying to jam through as much leftist policy as they can in a short timeframe and because of that we are seeing how crazy it is, how ridiculous it is and how

anti-american it is. >> let's go to what biden said about the border. he was on with craig melton, he wants to ride the wave of enthusiasm to the joint session of 200 people this week so he gives a couple interviews to push his spending plan and this is what he said about the border. >> 170,000 people, migrants apprehended at the border, a 20 year record, sounds to most folks like a crisis. >> it is way down now. we've gotten control. they didn't have the beds that were available, they didn't plan for the overflow. there is a significant change right now. >> we didn't need the beds, they have 25,000 kids in custody right now tonight. it is a crime what they are doing at the border. that was a disgusting answer. i'm being injudicious for saying that but that is galling.

>> it is a disgusting answer there's a lot of that we get from the biden administration. i agree with you listening to the speech a few nights ago, even i am listening to that thinking cheer up a little bit, my worry is biden gets away with lying like you just said because he has the media on his side but also that speech was the most radical speech we've heard in that setting maybe ever but the way he comes across as so -- he puts you to sleep and i think just viscerally you don't get the sense, that what he is doing is radical. you have to pay attention. it is hard to pay attention, that's one of my concerns that he loves everyone to sleep and that is how they rammed through the agenda. >> when i was with these governors last night, they had

kim reynolds from iowa, one of the first to push schools to open, she took on the teachers union, the superintendent in des moines, these are liberal radical -- he took them all on. and then you have abbott, gangbusters in texas with the open border, desantis, kate reeves in mississippi, very positive and rickets in nebraska. these in nebraska these are strong optimistic forward-looking leaders and washington does not understand the way the real world works and they always tune out to the extent they can. >> this is something you have been on for your entire career, something that is very true about america. we have a situation in america where the people who govern best govern closest to the people and washington is at a total distance from the people, not just the elected politicians but

people like anthony fauci, people who are completely unrelated to the reality of what is going on, you talked about it in the open regarding joe biden, the idea that people aren't getting together, i have been invited to three different cinco they mayo parties. they are not waiting for permission to gather together and celebrate and have a few beers together. they act as if they are in control but the reality defies the man that is something that is good in america's that we should encourage and in the coming weeks and months we will see more of it as we see that distance increased between was we hear from government officials and what people are doing in their lives. >> biden still resisting the actual truth about masks, he is on this morning again after

saying masks for 100 days, we are going to wear masks for 100 days but this is what he said today. >> you and i took our mask off and look at the distance we are but if we were sitting talking to one another i would have my mask on even though we've both been vaccinated and so it is a small precaution to take it has a profound impact. it is a patriotic responsibility for god's ache. >> it is a security blanket at this point, holding that mask. >> it is. i compare it to someone walking outside with a mask, a pacifier and a teddy bear, it makes them feel better, but people are depending on the mask that outside especially if they are vaccinated they don't need at all. i worry people's brains have been warped by people like joe

biden who scared them have to death. >> he just looks -- >> he loves her pacifier, loves her teddy bear so i completely agree with you. >> we can accept. >> you guys have beards, that counts at this point. you don't have to have -- no masks, just beards. great to see you tonight, the red state trailblazers told how they help small businesses thrive during the pandemic but the blue states made life worse for small business owners. in california things are just dire. my next guest is you can't find people who are willing to show up at the restaurants not because they are afraid of covid. joining me as the owner of the restaurant flatfish. i heard this from other restaurateurs and it is really bad. here in minneapolis where we are

tonight they have been decimated. they can't get people to show up, hard to run these restaurants, the ones that are in business. what are you going to do? what is happening? >> it is everywhere, not just southern california but the entire labor market is dry across the board. they stimulated that environment earlier on but what i figured talking with applicants, people are making a significant money on unemployment so let me wait this out and i understand that to some degree. a lot of people don't know if restaurants get shut down again, oregon, washington starting to shut down again. going back and forth. laura: how do we fix it? >> we've just got to open and it is that simple and decrease the amount of unemployment benefits because there is no requirement that you look for work.

i've got some employees who are double dipping because they are not checking it in california they misappropriated so much money the system is broken anyway so they are just doling it out and they get it in so the whole system right now is a little bit broken especially in places like california. shannon: joe biden wants to expand unemployment benefits. it's not getting back to basics. open up the economy, people want to go out, they will go to restaurants and wants to have fun and be with each other. a lot of them feel safer now and they are safer. it is about pulling back government overreach, we don't do that people will double dip, triple did. i know friends of friends who, we've got unemployment, i am working but this is temporary. are you kidding me? >> of course. i made the fatal flaw of looking at my twitter comments and

realizing this has become class warfare. everyone is pointing at me saying you are exporting your workers, not paying them enough, we are offering $25 an hour for dishwashers and cooks right now and i can't get applicants. we increase that month on month week on week because the demand has gone up. i'm the bad guy, 50 to 75% above the minimum wage, where do we stop? >> were is your business today compared to pre-pandemic, what percentage of your business? >> it is all of the placement some restaurants, we open 5 days a week because we don't have enough employees, some of the businesses because we got support for speaking out is still rough but we don't have the employees, we are kind of over. shannon: thanks for selling the all of this, this cannot continue. it is an impossible business climate long-term for this country, thank you so much and we are closer to revealing tonight's mystery guest. can you guess who it is? is another clue.

media bias these days are ingraham angle are keeping track of the worst offenders of the week, joining ms. lisa booth, chris bedford, senior editor of the federalist panel, great to see you both. let's begin with how the media are spinning biden's have of whispering softly. >>'s use of voice modulation was rather extraordinary.

it was not exactly -- >> reporter: i am thinking i can't believe in million people watched this little-known 11 million people, the hour and 20 minutes or whatever it was. >> that hour of her life was stolen from us, senator ted cruz basically following the tweet. i will take the creepy whispering over the creepy touching we saw throughout the obama administration. we saw what happened. >> i am isnbc guess tried to

spin this. >> kind of boring and not going to excite a great many people. >> that's not benefit, to be boring but that is not all. >> a very clear point to it and that biden humility. it was sweeping and optimistic. >> bringing the country to gather. it was a feel-good night. >> i've seen a lot of media donning, that is state run media. >> basically china or north korea. we don't have a media. what joe biden said with the

delivery, we knew they were going to spin this but they were on vacation over the past two days and wednesday night included that, the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war, maybe pearl harbor, maybe 9/11. because it doesn't matter. they are all a bunch of propagandists. >> they don't fact check their dear leader. the media's response to his rejection of systemic racism was particularly disgusting. >> we live in a country with systemic racism and tim scott cannot acknowledge this. it is appalling. >> he did himself a disservice. >> secretary of transportation pete buttigieg can say we have racism baked into our highway system, tim scott is not in position to criticize him.

>> pete buttigieg from south bend, indiana things we have racism on the interstate highway system? if he is the authority on racism, not the black senator from south carolina. >> senator tim scott has a very thick skin, courageous for having gone out and given that speech, it doesn't play that well. it can be a political curse, people are mocked and attacked for years to come. he gave an uplifting message that was well-received. worse than that the left couldn't keep themselves behaved, they let out what was in their heart of hearts, he's not allowed to be black because he didn't vote for joe biden. they attacked him with racist attacks like uncle tim, words that are banned from children's libraries because liberals are obsessed with uncle tom's kevin and twitter trying to promote this. it showed who they were.

>> the worst thing for the media is to have a minority citizen in america, black, of color, gay as a conservative. heaven for bid they voted for trump. they have to be crucified. >> joy be hai thinks she because she was in blackface she can be a leader on this issue but senator tim scott made a deeply personal point that he thinks racism from the left, he has been called uncle tom, the n-word, what does the left do, they say hold my beer, let's prove this man right by getting uncle tim trending on social media. the left purport to say they are about women or lgbt q community or the minorities until you don't subscribe to their liberal dogma then they attack you and try to beat you into submission. they are not about any of these

things. >> he was incredibly courageous and it was a terrific response, great to see you both. the most dangerous biden is back in the white house and is getting a sister. why is joe so afraid all of the time? raymond arroyo packs it in with friday follies next. like a fire, that's just growing. i feel kinder, when nature is so kind to me. find more ways to grow at miracle-gro.com.

>> reporter: the us puts a total ban on travel from india starting next tuesday as covid 19 variance spiral out of control, 401,000 new cases have been reported in india and there has been 3500 deaths in the past 24 hours including 18 covid patients who died in the hospital fired western india. back home the requirement for masks on public transit will

remain in effect until november 13th, it was scheduled to expire may 11th. penalties for violating the start at $250, disneyland reopening after being closed for 13 months due to the coronavirus. only california residents are allowed in right now. the reopening comes as a milestone is reached, 100 million americans are fully vaccinated. now back to the ingraham angle. laura: it is time for friday follies and for that we turn to raymond arroyo. last night orlando, tonight minneapolis. how does it all work? there were some odd displays from the white house crew that caught your attention. >> it seems as if spring has unleashed the romantic in every one. may all of us live long enough to get the reaction that kamala

harris got from her husband when she appeared before biden's address to congress. either he is the most slaphappy lovesick romantic ever were the most insecure spouse in dc. whatever the case, she can see. you don't need to do a home i'm act of devotion and love, when you use to work that hard after many years of marriage something is wrong. we need to -- can you invite doctor phil to explain this. i don't mind the affection but the agreed to it is us, we don't care and don't need to see it.

laura: get a room i would say. a very romantic setting with 200 people nodding off in the room, we have cuban struck joe biden on his way to marine one. >> it was a sweet gesture. maybe the poor man didn't know. at least he didn't try to pick a lemon offer jill's duress. it reminded me of that touching movie moment when frankenstein shares daisies with the little girl by the lake. he was a bit confused too and so apparently was the media. abc, the hill, all fond over this moment. reuters put it this way, ever the romantic, president biden picked a dandelion from the grass and presented it to first

lady jill biden. i'm glad they are in love. i hope they are in love but my problem is the media attention to this, what this is is heartwarming fillers so they don't have to cover $6 trillion of proposed spending, $480 billion, that is hardly romantic and we haven't touched on $80 billion to try to get more taxes. laura: are related issue, date night or romantic moment in the driveway, and this was nothing. this should set off bells for you. the story we saw about

distracting people, this may have been the best, in bc keeping those important narratives in the forefront of people's minds when it comes to biden. >> a question of millions of americans, for a number of weeks now, major. >> is he back in the white house? >> he is back, a sweet lovable dog. >> they were considering adopting a cat. >> she is waiting in the wings. >> they had trouble adjusting to the white house. now he has to contend with a cat as well. >> that was part of his training. >> socks the cat, bow the dog with the obamas and major and champ with the bidens. these are shiny objects to

distract you from what is going on, the dog might be the only member of the biden household who was trained. listen to this admission from the president. ♪♪ >> looking for my mask, in trouble. >> what are you saying to folks. >> last question i will take. >> the president of the united states, losing a mask. this lends credibility to the suspicions of staff programming this presidency and bullying the president himself. not only wrong but cool. laura: did he find it? >> he found it at last hidden in his binder.

for that he didn't get in trouble. problem got an extra dandelion or two. laura: seemed like major was limping in one of those videos, decided to limp on one side. that should be examined. the president going to go on this story, low down on training and what he learned. great to see you in orlando as well. the moment of truth, here is your final clue. the person is related to this jungle book author rudyard kipling. any ideas? they reveal it next.

>> we have been giving you hint throughout the shell and it's finally time to find out who >> giving you hints for about the summer and time to find out, who are mystery guest is. just received a star on the hollywood walk of fame. number 2, wine is in cabernet, not as in complain. number 3, related to jungle book author rudyard kipling. who could it be? mystery guest, reveal your self.

it is kathy lee gifford, so great to see you. i don't think i have seen you since i was on the today show i don't know how long ago that was. >> and guess what, i am in diapers again. laura: so great to see you. i want to get one of the funniest things i learned about you. a singer on name that tune, the old game show which i love, how many songs did you have to learn? >> 200 songs in 5 days but when you are young and hungry you can do anything. i did the entire season in a couple weeks, never made one mistake. laura: you could name that tune in 7 notes? >> i was the one who would get

the clue so i would go here is the song and give me the time meter, two bars of something, the orchestra, i would go ♪♪ it is worth living ♪♪ ala ♪♪ born free ♪♪ laura: your longtime friend passed away last july, the cohost, reaches for open, those years he spent with you were his best years in television. tell us about the first time you met him. >> we did not have an auspicious first meeting. there was nobody around. i was walking up town and he was walking downtown. we both got close to each other at the same time, all, high, and kept walking. i was a huge fan of regis's.

every time i watched him doing something stupid but it was hysterical or something nobody had done before. he seemed fearless to me and always seemed to love the audience. don rickles was one of his closest friends that he was the exact opposite ripping everybody 2 pieces. regis was everything. he had the greatest attitude, couldn't believe that i call the people on the planet he got to be regis. before he died, moved to california but for the most part, since i was in la, got out of the car and walked away, last time i will see my friend but we picked up right there and

laughed. the great thing that i will always cherish, regis and i became great friends and worked together for 15 years but after i left the show, became much deeper. laura: time for this or that, right up your alley. i will say two things and you have to pick whichever you like better. tried to get through his many of these as we can. starting now. cabernet or chardonnay. >> chardonnay. laura: rose noe? >> caffeinated. laura: doing tv are filling movies? >> filling movies. ashley: writing books or songs? >> sans. laura: connecticut or tennessee? >> both. laura: better costar, sharks

from sharknedoh 3? >> finally, emmy award or star on the hollywood walk of fame? emmy or hollywood walk of fame? >> i have been frankly found out i was being nominated, aren't you on that? laura: what happens to that delay? how long ago was that? you should have been on that 50 years ago. >> that is the world i live in. you haven't been scandalized so badly that they cancel you. i am still here. laura: i am coming to nashville and hanging out with you and we are definitely having line. laura: the whole world is moving here.

laura: great to see you, thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. laura: a lot more of my conversation with kathy lee, go to foxnation.com after the show and watch the full interview. when we come back an exclusive interview i will tell you about for monday, reveal terrifying government overreach. i will tell you about it next. it grows two times faster than seed alone for full, green grass. everything else just seems... slow. it's lawn season. let's get to the yard.

>> among the many thousands of trump supporters who peacefully laura: paul and marilyn were among the trump supporters who rallied in dc january 6th, they never took part in any rallying or entered the capital building so imagine their surprise when days ago they were awakened by fbi agents breaking down their front door, guns drawn. what their alleged crime? stealing nancy pelosi's laptop

terrific capitol riots. they will tell us about this nightmarish experience. that is all-time we have tonight. we had a great week and kudos to five governors who showed up for our townhall last night. they showed the country that a positive, optimistic vision for the future is what republicans are looking for and greg gutfeld takes it from here. or >> there are these rumors that the first family was considerin adopting a cat. >> oh yes, that is true. he is waiting in the wings. she is waiting in the wings. >> he doesn't know what a cat is . keep clapping, what your problem . the thing about rebellion, much

like doing whippets, it's only
