♪ ♪ >> sean: we ran out of time for a video of the day. please set your dvr, never miss an episode and let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham, big show tonight. >> laura: yeah, well, sean, it's back to the future once again with joe biden. don't you feel like you're back in your parents station wagon in the way back waiting in that gas line, the odds and evens? that's what i feel like. >> sean: i like the days when a president was actually up late enough to watch our shows. i'm not too happy about the gas lines, abandoning israel, ignoring china, russia, and iran alliance and inflation at higher interest rates all coming and everything costs more, but what do i know? >> laura: but at least there
7:01 pm
is mixed martial arts, so i think we are all right. we are going to be okay. awesome show. fantastic. i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. governor ron desantis signed an executive order last september calling for covid related penalties to be suspended. but that did not stop authorities in broward county from arresting jim owners over not mandating masks, can you believe that? well, that couple, and the governor, are here tonight with a response. wonder what that's all about. and biden bumbles through event after event, plus why chicago is releasing 1,000 feral cats, raymond arroyo explains it in "seen and unseen." but first, no joe-'flushå. 'mentum do you or member that old share song? ♪ ♪
7:02 pm
>> laura: well, this is your nightly reminder that the radicals in the biden administration have successfully figured out a way to turn back time. she must be happy. but unfortunately it's not back to 1989 when she released that song but ten years earlier to that banner year of 1979. >> with little hope of greatly increased supplies and much higher prices for what supply there are, pressure is building again for a new look at -- reconsider the rationing plan they considered this spring. tonight, is gas rationing the answer? this has become common in many states in the east, cars have been lining up before dawn. by the time the pumps opened, many had been waiting two and three hours for gas. >> laura: the dow dropped nearly 682 points today as well. that was despite biden officials
7:03 pm
increasingly desperate efforts to downplay the crisis. >> things will be back to normal soon and we are asking people not to hoard and know that we are all over this period of >> folks should follow the advice of the governors and their attorney generals, which they are asking folks not to panic. >> we are working hard to maintain safety while providing disruptions. >> laura: wait a second, was that supposed to reassure the public? it was about as mayor pete's last attempt at publix persuasion. >> what's the biggest where the transportation has been permanently changed by the pandemic? >> you think planes, trains, and automobiles, but what about bikes, scooters, wheelchairs for that matter? >> laura: remember, you can always get on your bike. enjoy the gas disruptions, be
7:04 pm
more like pete! biden policies are working like a charm. i think so because one more kids finally are getting back to school, parents are worried now about being able to pick them up and just one more adults are finally returning to work, they don't know if they can make it home and what's left in the tank and just when businesses are starting to reopen, they can't find employees and just when covid is finally under control, biden is letting hundreds of thousands of health compromised migrants into the country. the list of biden's malfeasance goes on and on and on and of course the most immediate problem for millions of americans is this gas crisis and the skyrocketing cost of fuel. but never fear, because president biden is on it. >> president biden: i think what this shows is i think we have to make a greater investment in education as it
7:05 pm
relates to being able to train and graduate more people proficient in cybersecurity. >> laura: that may be true, but how does that help us right now? and even if that is true, why on earth then are we wasting time and money on all this indoctrination of our kids with critical race theory? today biden could have sent a positive signal to the market that he is soon ending unemployment benefits and is urging the full reopening of the u.s. economy. imagine if he had said that today, he could also say he's resuming the keystone pipeline and allowing for new oil and gas leases on federal land. of course he didn't. but let's be very clear, this is a classic self-created crisis of biden. remember, covid was fixed in january, the economic crisis was fixed. all they needed to do was keep the car on the road and instead,
7:06 pm
biden drove it right into a ditch. we have gas shortages, the rampant -- across the u.s. right up into d.c. and maryland and the prices? you've seen them. they've been almost since biden won the election going up. this is a painful and instant tax on everything we buy, not just fuel, by the way. look at what he's done since taking the oath of office. a gallon of gas is now $0.50 more expensive. one of the most arrogant and revealing statements made in the last 36 hours has come from that dim light bulb herself, energy secretary jennifer granholm. >> if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you, clearly. there's a lot of broader questions in this and we hope that we will be able to see that investment in infrastructure that will facilitate clean and renewable energy. >> laura: that blank-eating
7:07 pm
grin. that was cute. and talk about tone-deaf. if you drove a test like you wouldn't be at the gas pump right now. [laughs] these people aren't just incompetent, they are radical. the combination is terrible. last week after that abysmal jobs report, biden tried to tell us that the economy, remember, was going in the right direction. now that narrative has totally been blown up. today's inflation numbers show us just how wrong biden was and we obviously didn't need a stimulus package earlier in the year. why do we know that? if you forgot your economics, it's because you don't get inflation when an economy is under steam related. you get inflation when an economy is overstimulated, which it is. and to make matters worse, gel's freebies mean that -- well, they mean that businesses can't get people back on the job. but thankfully, states that actually care to grow their economies are now rejecting this
7:08 pm
damaging unemployment benefits scheme and if you don't want to listen to the ankle, well, listen to democrat economist larry summers. >> there is a fiscal theory that looks at the ultimate consequences of deficits. that is flashing a red -- a red alarm. you look at houses, you look at used cars, you look at commodities, labor shortages, you look at businesses reporting price increases. signs are of inflation starting to break out. >> laura: inflation starting to break out. if i were larry, i wouldn't expect any white house invites anytime soon. again, these problems though really -- they don't bother the biden white house that much. that's why she had that little smirk on her face. either they are so rich that it doesn't matter, or they're hoping to benefit from a bigger and more powerful central government. after all, their goal -- or
7:09 pm
member this, very important, isn't to raise your standard of living. it's to get you accustomed to living with less come up to get you to accept that america's best days are behind us and that we were never that great to begin with. gas shortages are actually part of their policy because if they cared about small businesses or wages going up, giving people jobs, they would have fought harder to reopen everything early on in the covid mess. instead they got to keep it closed up for as long as they possibly could until the red states essentially just shamed them into reopening. for them, the only potential snag is if this scenario starts costing them votes. then they're going to start worrying. that's why they are intent on taking over state elections with hr one. that's why they have to drum up racism where it doesn't exist, to try to scare minority voters and that's why they cling to the false narrative about phony
7:10 pm
threats, but they are pledging of course to save us all from. >> do you agree with their predecessors that whites of premises remain the most lethal threat in the moment? >> i do at this time, mr. chairman. >> the top domestic violence extremists we faced come from racially or ethnically motivated violence extremists, specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race. >> laura: now, did the white supremacists threatened to shut down the colonial pipeline? and are the white supremacists committing all that crime in urban america, suburban america? it's absurd. if you feel that things are slowing down, if you feel more unsafe in your neighborhood, if you feel that your economic power is weakened, that your ability to travel is hampered, that is not natural.
7:11 pm
none of that is normal. that's called joe-mentum. we were told that joe biden would calm things down. he certainly calms the economy down. it's not moving. but i think the people are experiencing other emotions and that's the angle. joining me now is mark meadows, trump white house chief of staff. a friend of mine texted me today and she said in four months, this man and his merry band of radicals have done more to harm the american economy, the average american family, then i think any leader in probably the last hundred years in the united states. >> well, laura, it's been 110 days of marching to disaster. we are seeing the results right before us. think about it, we have high gas prices. we have high numbers of illegals coming across our southern border.
7:12 pm
we have israel on high alert than what we have is a biden white house that is so high-minded that they can even connect with the average american voter to say listen, we understand there's a crisis. all they had to do is play dress -- and frankly i wish that joe biden would plagiarize one more time of the donald trump playbook. we left it there for him and yet what happens, the american people are having to pay the price. >> laura: i think they should actually -- i mean, it's never going to happen but he is all for magnanimity and getting along with people supposedly, why doesn't he pick up the phone and say to former president trump i know we don't agree on much but you really had this economy cooking, do you have any ideas? i mean, bring him in for a half-hour. talk about how we managed to keep the labor force in the united states tight as a country during the three years before the pandemic. so to your point though, biden has surrounded himself with
7:13 pm
total incompetence, mark. secretary pete buttigieg tried to use the energy crisis now as an opportunity to look tough on national security. check it out. >> infrastructure is a national security issue. and the reality is that investing in world-class modern and resilient infrastructure has always been central to ensuring our country's economic security, are national security and as we are seeing right now, that includes cybersecurity. >> laura: there's just one problem with that. nbc is reporting that biden's proposed infrastructure spending plan, boondoggle, doesn't address securing infrastructure from this type of malicious cyber hacking on the president's budget proposal for next year also doesn't prioritize cybersecurity, so was the bald dropped by this administration and how they've handled this? >> the ball with not only dropped but it was fondled over and over again. they haven't even found the ball to pick it up to run into the
7:14 pm
end zone. we have not only infrastructure plan that doesn't actually prioritize the very things that are ailing us right now. but it's a false narrative buried in the infrastructure plan that was going to add more to the debt, more to inflation, more to pressures on the hardworking small american businesses that are out there and do very little to stimulate the economy. when we look at what they propose, it would take over six years to actually get into the economy with the spending that they are proposing right now, laura. i can tell you that not only is it a disaster but it's one that the bike and a get a grip on or what we will have is it won't be a photo op with the bidens and the carter's, it will be an economy that mirrors the carter economy from the late '70s. >> laura: the problem here for everyone, they have to understand this, is if we get stuck in this inflationary trend, spiral, then we go into
7:15 pm
stagflation. then we see how difficult it is to dig out of it. that's the real danger here and that's what larry summers is worried about and that's what janet yellen was worried about before they tried to shut her down after she said that a couple of weeks ago. >> exactly. they both should be worried about that. i can tell you that my conversations with president trump and secretary mnuchin not only do they understand what the problem is, but they continue to look past it in this administration not wanting to just revert back to what was working just a little bit ago, but when we start to see the alarm bells going off, you and i may be old enough to remember that. you mentioned the gas lines. you know, most of the people viewing this may not even remember that. we had interest rates that went through the roof. we had inflation going at the same time and we had lost hope and it was a republican economy
7:16 pm
that actually set it on the right way. we just revert back right away. >> laura: which begs the question, is this really kind of more a kin to new normal they want? people not traveling as much, people don't have quite as much freedom, people not burning those fossil fuels to, you know, burn up the atmosphere. they kind of preferred the lockdown life, a lot of people on the left. this is kind of a version of that if people don't have gas in their car, correct? they are not going anywhere. >> exactly buried not only do they like it, they promote it. they get the unions, the teachers unions to coordinate with the cdc to make sure we keep schools locked down but even beyond that, what we have is we got an energy secretary that is somehow thinking that this was a time to promote electric cars and you ought to just suck it up because you whew don't have an electric car, too bad. this is not america.
7:17 pm
>> laura: she was laughing. there was a snide laughter. i found that reaction, again, to be the most revealing perhaps of the last 36 hours. it was absolutely -- people are suffering out there. mark, thank you. and a great reset that we've been warning you about is being openly discussed on the global stage. victor davis hanson, dinesh d'souza claim how -- expend how power-hungry bureaucrats are now looking to use covid to crush our freedom, stay there. here, you're more thn just a landowner. you're a gardener. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment. versatile, powerful, durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it.
7:22 pm
♪ ♪ >> laura: global elites have never seen covid as a crisis to solve, but one to exploit in order to completely reorder the global economy. now what does that mean? it means eliminating national sovereignty and dramatically reducing our standard of living. they call it the great reset and the plan was heralded in the "the new york times." experts call for sweeping to reform to prevent the next pandemic. mask mandates and travel restrictions at international treaties and the creation of new bureaucracies are among the recommendations presented to the w.h.o. well, if you're wondering how this will predict or address the next pandemic, well, it won't. as with climate change, nothing to do with science or health,
7:23 pm
it's about transferring wealth, power, decision-making from american taxpayers to u.n. bureaucrats in the details get more frightening from there. according to the times, an international counsel led by heads of state to keep attention on health threats and to oversee multibillion-dollar financing program that governments would contribute to based on their ability. their ability. well, that sounds nice until they give up the game. the panel is recommending a fundamental transformation designed to ensure commitment at the highest level. to a new system that's coordinated, connected, fast-moving, accountable, just and of course, equitable. then come the threats. both of the reports supported the creation of an international pandemic treaty that would establish consequences if countries failed to live up to their commitment. in other words, obey the w.h.o.,
7:24 pm
bill gates, clow schwab, the world economic forum, china, or pay the price. and here's my counterproposal. nothing. we give you nothing. okay, we take care of our people, we decouple from the w.h.o. and from china. joining us now, victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institution and dinesh d'souza, conservative author, filmmaker, host of the podcast. victor, these plans are what you and i have been talking about for years and years and years. they never liked the concept of national sovereignty. they've always wanted to get rid of it. >> yeah, it's the medical version of the international criminal court of the paris climate accord. it doesn't work. we had something like it, laura, it was called the $5 billion a year world health organization. how did that work out? they lied about the origins, the transmissibility and the nature of the covid virus, completely corrupted by the chinese and we
7:25 pm
had all of these scientists, some of them very prominent, dr. fauci, dr. collins, they all had various roles in supporting and subsidizing in an international fashion enhancement of -- there's only two things that have kept this thing from killing everybody and the planet. that's an exaggeration, but it was private enterprise. it was donald trump's travel ban that stopped easy access from wuhan decidedly, but more importantly, the moderna and especially the pfizer vaccination, johnson & johnson, 2 billion vaccinations are just about ready to sweep the globe. i think we've already had over a billion. those were private companies that were given incentives under operation warp speed and liability health, legal help, logistical help in every country and that used the statist model, whether it was the european vaccination for the chinese state vaccination or the russian state vaccination, they either didn't work or they were a little bit dangerous. so we know what the status model
7:26 pm
and the international status model with hhwo or the e.u. didn't work and our model did and why we would give up sovereignty would be very -- it is bizarre. it would be very dangerous. >> laura: right, but the left doesn't want america to be preeminent. when you and i were in college in the 1980s, that was the same deal back then, right? that was reagan. they didn't like this idea of ronald reagan or the defense shield. reagan has a muscular foreign, they didn't like that. they didn't want that, they never did. >> yeah, i'm a little suspicious of all of the sudden talk about moving on to the next pandemic and planning for the next pandemic because this is all coming on the eve of bombshell revelations that the virus might well have been manufactured in the wuhan lab, manufactured by chinese scientists working in collaboration with american scientists funded by the u.s. government. so some of the same pompous
7:27 pm
people who have been coming as the rescuers telling us how to deal with the pandemic and we might need to wear masks until kingdom come, some of these people might have been complicit in creating the virus in the first place. we now know that there are labs that deliberately create extremely dangerous viruses. they do it not as a biological weapon, they do it to study the viruses, but there are enormous risks attached to all of this and those risks are not disclosed to the american public. i think right after covid came out there was kind of a rather odd confident declaration by the health community and by the media that this obviously came out of a market in wuhan even though there was exactly zero evidence that that was the case. we need to find out about this pandemic before we start worrying about the next one. >> laura: it's another giant power grab and victor, speaking of this -- yeah, you mentioned the messaging from our medical elites of they've already done a
7:28 pm
really good job of scaring americans into submission. and many are not in any hurry at all to return back to what was the old normal. a new survey is revealing that 71% will wait six months or more to stop social distancing. what! this is -- they are laying the groundwork. this is like americans are submissive now. >> and that's our version, laura, because it's even worse in europe. this idea that internationalism is going to be a medicine or some kind of dosage that's going to stop the american national populist singularity is crazy. there's no accountability in an international group. at least we in america, our scientists are ultimately subject to u.s. law, the courts, et cetera, our congress. but there was a hundred virologists who signed that letter who said there is no chance that this virus was ever manufactured by scientists, and had to come from an animal, so that was an international team of the best people.
7:29 pm
they were wrong. so throughout this crisis, we've seen politics warp any international consensus because there's no arbiter under so auditor, there's no sensor. they are not a cannibal to anybody. >> laura: we are not in control of our own destiny. do americans watching tonight do you want to be in control of your own destiny, or do you want some bureaucrat in germany or, you know, in belgium that make decisions that affect the family? we have to mention this really quickly, but this mandatory covid vaccine issue is popping up in state after state with some states now really wanting to force this on residence, including younger residents. biden was practically begging children to get the vaccine today. oregon is demanding 70% of its population get the vaccine and other states are also putting in place high, high thresholds. so, this is forcing you to do
7:30 pm
something perhaps against your will to get your freedom back. >> i mean i'm a how interesting it is that they feel the need to do this. think about in any other area of life, the government doesn't have to tell you. they don't have to tell you listen, make sure that you eat a couple of meals a day, otherwise you might starve. make sure you put on your pants before you go out into the street. make sure that you go to bathroom once a day. the government doesn't need to mandate these things. it why? because it's quite obviously we need to do this things for our health. on the bottom line is with the virus they haven't made the case, they haven't been able to show people -- in fact i think that they've scared people by saying things like even after you take the vaccine you are still going to have to wear masks, you are still going to have to socially distance, so the number one obstacle to making people -- to getting people to make the decision to go vaccinate is the government's own warnings that taking the vaccination may really do you know practical good whatsoever. >> laura: they sound too often like they are -- it's like
7:31 pm
pressure salesmanship. when someone is pressuring you to buy something at a store, pressure, pressure, pressure, don't you kind of recoil, like why are you pressuring me? i will make my own decision but it's the constant cell job by hollywood and business. i mean, it's very odd. gentlemen, thank you, great to see you. and as the president being controlled by his staff? we are going to show you some troubling video tonight. raymond arroyo has it all. "seen and unseen" and the golden globes cracking up. so sad, say there -- stay there.

7:37 pm
home. we're also going to be getting vaccines to pediatricians and family doctors. i'm encouraged not just because of a solid meeting with -- with -- with the republican leader in the house. it generically, i'm encouraged. >> generically, i'm terrified. he couldn't remember kevin mccarthy's name. >> laura: well, i think you meant generally but we are nitpicking here. raymond, what impression does that leave on the voters? >> look, for those who see it, and that is a huge question, about 95% of people probably only see 10-second sound bites of the president daily, so most people won't see him struggling and losing his way, but whether this is covered or not, laura, it's deeply concerning and the more people see it, the more concerned they'll become. it was a largely unseen moment from today that tells a much bigger tale.
7:38 pm
>> president biden: you guys are bad. i'm not supposed to answer. >> i'm supposed to, not supposed to. you're the president of united states. who's telling you you're not supposed to do anything? probably jen psaki, laura, who said the white house didn't want him answering questions last week. i say free joe biden. but the staff is clearly running the show. this is yesterday. >> president biden: i'm just waiting for them to tell me when we go live on this. the basic scientific research accompanies -- like pfizer and others are going to be -- >> mrna. >> mrna vaccines. >> laura: that is hard to say. >> a boy. >> laura: raymond, i watched every minute of today and i'm sorry, the gas shortages are scary. that's terrifying. what else? >> i agree. especially for the nurse standing by.
7:39 pm
anyway, speaking of stumbles, the golden globes have really fallen off its axis. nbc has decided not to air the award show next year. netflix and amazon are distancing themselves from the hollywood foreign press association that runs the golden globes until they diversify their membership and welcome more black members. tom cruise returned his three golden globes in protest, so i got a good deal at a malibu garage sale the other day. >> laura: you got your -- there you are. good for you! they look good on you, raymond, fantastic. he should have given them back just for being a lousy actor. i'm just kidding, totally kidding, tom. other stars are speaking out as well. >> the h fpa is something that has been around since i kind of came in and they are kind of a unique and eccentric group. if they go away, you know, i don't think anybody is really going to lament that.
7:40 pm
i don't think the world needs to mourn the death of an award show. >> yeah, especially considering the quality of the films hollywood has been producing and recently years and let's face it, nbc is scanning the show, laura, because their ratings have dropped by 63% this year. 6.9 million people watched. that's a low point and i love how hollywood is all upset now about the golden globes. they've been playing this old group of foreign journalists for all these years. they are 87 members of this thing that have been giving them free hams and dinners and trips to the sets to buy oscar momentum. this is like cher waking up and being shocked that she is in facial reconstructive surgery clinic. come on, tell it to someone else. >> laura: this is the seconds before mention of the show tonight, something of a record for us. >> we are working for three. >> laura: matt damon, is he just getting around to the idea that the award shows are stupid?
7:41 pm
going back to ill will hunting, it was kind of over then, wasn't it? as long as we are being very catty, because we love good will hunting, in chicago, a thousand feral cats have been released into the city, to what, go after the rodent problem? >> yeah, well at least the cats are very well disciplined. i have to say. >> laura: you are awful! they are actually -- >> when i read this story, i read it's a humane society saying if you care for the cats, you can loose them in the streets. it's called cats at work. we going to have felons at work where you adopt a felon and they'll protect your property? you know, where does this end? it's a crazy idea. it's not good. >> laura: they have a real rat problem. they have a real rat problem and they have a lot of unwanted cats, so it's kind of a work study -- work project for the cats. >> i'm sorry too -- i have to interrupt, i'm getting a fox news alert.
7:42 pm
chick-fil-a -- chick-fil-a is announcing that they will no longer be giving customers extra sauce with their meals. sauces will be limited, one for entrees, to go for. labor shortages and supply chain problems necessitated the decision. the saucepan could be called [indiscernible] because he started with gas and now we've made our way to the sauces. the culture always has implications politically. if they start rationing chicken nuggets, it's over. there will be a revolt in this country. >> laura: precisely. but remember, michelle obama got control of the natural girth -- the national girth problem. nothing we need to talk about that. >> i'm going to do my jumping jacks. >> laura: thank you very much, cher, chick-fil-a and cats all in one segment. despite for governor desantis calling for all covid -- a gym owner in broward county was

all outstanding fines and penalties that have been applied against individuals are suspended. i think we need to get away from trying to penalize people for social distancing and work with people constructively. >> laura: despite that, some vindictive florida counties are still punishing their own residents like in broward county where former gym owners jillian and mike face possible jail time, unbelievable, for not complying with local mask mandates. they joined me now along with their attorney corey stroller. also with us, for the governor ron desantis, who's been following the story very closely. mike, i want to start with you. you've been arrested three times over the masks mack >> it's hard to believe, isn't it, laura? >> laura: no, i just can't even believe this is the united states of america when i'm hearing this. what happened? >> so two months after james reopened in south florida, broward county came down with a
7:49 pm
mandate saying the official coverings had to be worn during strenuous exercise. 24 -- you know, we filed a lawsuit against broward county. 24 hours after the lawsuit filed we were arrested. we were arrested three times in total. they seized our business. they offered us ten days in jail, we decline fat and now i'm looking at six months in prison. they also arrested jillian here as well. >> laura: does this seem like the country you grew up in? >> definitely definitely not. it barely feels like america. >> laura: cory, what are the prospects here of getting any assistance or help? >> well, we really at this point have to rely on governor desantis and i hate to put it in his lap and his jacket of general counsel's lap, but we got a political activist judge that originally told mike and jillian before i was ever retained that the state was offering a diversion program and
7:50 pm
the judge said -- it was the judge that said the only resolution he would approve is a ten day jail sentence for mike in jail, and that is before jillian's case was transferred in, so the way broward state charged it, mike is facing actually two second-degree misdemeanor for a total of 120 days in jail and jillian is facing one for a total of 60 days in jail, all for basically not having people where masks while exercising. that's what we're talking about. >> laura: this is insanity. governor desantis, it sounds like broward is thumbing their nose at you. you've been very pro-reopening, getting rid of these mandates. what the heck is going on here and what can you do? >> well, it's a total overreach, laura. this is exactly what we ordered against last summer many, many months ago and so i was actually just recently briefed on this
7:51 pm
case and we looked at it and so i'm glad you have mike and jillian on animal so glad to be on to be able to say that effective tomorrow morning, i'm going to sign a reprieve under my constitutional authority, so that will delay the case for 60 days against both of them and then when our clemency board meets in the coming weeks, we will issue pardons not only for mike and jillian, but for any floridian who may have outstanding infractions for things like masks and social distancing. the fact is -- >> laura: wow. >> not even right to be wearing masks when you're exercising. the world health organization's advise it against it. it's unhealthy for people to be doing that in the first place, so it was a bad restriction, but these things with health should be advisory, they should not be punitive and so we are happy to use our constitutional authority. i think they've been treated poorly and fortunately they got a governor that cares.
7:52 pm
