we don't really need lectures about customs or sacred freedoms. and by the way, you are free to go home, make amends at the palace with the people that you and your wife hurt deeply. by the way, you are enjoying the freedoms protected under the first amendment as you are living in laura: i thought you were going to throw the revolutionary war in his face. >> mike wallace, go ahead. laura: we see you there and there and there and we left it. you should have added. >> it is -- use that to trash their family, trash is family, they kind of trashed the family. laura: i don't think many people look to harry and megan for any
12:01 am
advice on anything but it sells whatever they are selling. >> i live in the most exclusive part of the very expensive suburbs of santa barbara known as montecito. laura: that is due rich even for you. >> always with the shot. hit me here. laura: great show. see you tomorrow. i am laura ingraham. we have a lot to get through, let's jump in. we are still winning, that is the focus of tonight's angle. in case you haven't noticed things are really beginning to fall apart for the democrats on a variety of issues in a variety of ways. at the same time things are looking up for conservatives who believe in trump's america first agenda. talk about a reversal of political fortune. it was only four months ago the biden team took over democrats
12:02 am
were giddy. >> what joe biden got in this election was a mandate. a mandate to address the challenges our country faces. >> one of the things i'm most excited about is we had so much talent in the democratic caucus, they can showcase their talents and accomplish great things. it excites me. >> he looks excited, didn't he? that a blizzard of executive orders issued by biden and it up burying the old trump agenda. >> president biden signing an
12:03 am
executive order reversing the trump ban on transgender americans serving in the united states. >> president biden signed 3 executive orders to undo some of trump's harsh immigration policies. >> another day another round of executive orders. he has signed more than 30 in his first 5 days in office. >> president biden made clear he's not wasting any time, immediately went to work. >> they were thrilled because on multiple fronts biden decided to bow to the leftists who demanded a crackdown on conservative speech, the oil and gas industry and so on and so forth so they focused on things like purging the military of extremists and rejoining paris climate record. for many conservatives the situation seemed hopeless. now we see the tables turning. as they damage our economy and foreign policy the democrats are also slowly but surely destroying their own prospects for 2022, and 2024. let's go through it all point by point. number one, gop unity. contrary to the fake news claiming a post trump republican civil war will be in the offing republicans are extremely united. for example on the issue of the
12:04 am
ever tedious liz cheney the new cbs poll showing 80% of the party supported her removal mostly for the obvious reason that she doesn't advance the thing called the republican agenda. similarly gop voters probably support trump's economic integration agenda. does any of that sound like a party at war with itself? of course not. number 2, mystery mask theater. democrats screwed this up royally. a few weeks ago it was clear that democrats were going to start caving on the pandemic control they clung to so passionately. on masks when the cdc announced vaccinated people could drop them the far left church of covid went into total revolt mode. aoc proclaimed her dismay by saying she would keep wearing masks regardless of the fact that she was already vaccinated. chicago mayor lori lightfoot who
12:05 am
defied her own lockdown orders to get hair done in early days of the pandemic said the same. basically the democrats have bungled the mask issue, looks like total goofballs from day one. for the one hundredth time stated on the ingraham angle there is no evidence that cloth face coverings are effective in stopping the spread of the respiratory virus. the cdc absent website has the study posted on the ineffectiveness of masks against the influenza virus, talks about 30 ago. even washington post had to admit that masks did not work to slow the 1918 spanish flu epidemic either. as usual the red states had to lead us out of this mess and ultimately they shamed the cdc to give and dropping mask mandates months ago but at the same time the experts and the biden folks were predicting the worst. >> i think that was ill advised. that has happened in the past,
12:06 am
when you pull back on measures of public health, invariably you've seen a surge back up. >> it is premature to declare victory. we need to because it's about new variants that might emerge. >> the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking now. >> that was reacting to texas when it first dropped its mask mandate two months ago. yesterday announced the first day with 0 covid deaths in 14 months. we know there was never any surge of covid linked to ditching mask mandate across the united states. mandating the masking of children, that is going to go down as a very dark chapter for the democrats and the public health experts who advocated it. it is antiscience and abusive to force children to wear masks on playgrounds, summer camps and planes and any time yet that is still what the cdc is
12:07 am
recommending. democrats and their union buddies are hoping that mask rules for kids will force parents to relent even if they are uncomfortable with that. for the left, injecting children with an experimental vaccine for a disease they rarely get sick from and don't efficiently said is a nonstarter for most parents. it is going to cost votes and possibly help lose you control of congress and the presidency. frankly it is disgusting. number 3 loser lockdown. the democrats won't only fuel the electoral pain from their vaccine insanity but their destructive lockdowns. don't think republicans won't
12:08 am
remind voters which party decided schools were nonessential but marijuana dispensaries and big-box stores were. the fact is teachers unions own biden. we know that now at that did enormous damage to our kids learning. in new york it is still unclear if schools will fully be open next fall because teachers don't wish to return to the classroom and unions are making impossible demands. until you more than anything else i think this issue with galvanizing mothers and fathers nationwide in blue states that slow roll these reopenings. it is a minefield for democrats. number 4, race of the session. whether they are in class or not to across america are being force for the critical race theory poison we have exposed on this show night after night and our own president serve with twice elected barack obama declared america himself to be systemically racist and his own
12:09 am
party is totally on board with the marxists who are trying to engineer or reengineer schooling in america toward a social justice style radicalism. >> this kind of stuff is poison, this will turn this country apart if it becomes a part of our fabric. if you think this and to our kids, divide our kids up and have them see only race, creed, culture, religion, you will be destroying this country. >> just because i do not want critical race theory talk to my kids in school does not mean that i am a racist, dammit! >> closing your own country is not a winning posture to take that is what democrats are. most americans don't want to pay taxes for schools that teach them to hate their own nation. that is repulsive and some red states like idaho and oklahoma band it and the good news is the
12:10 am
parent led movement against the racial industrial complex is building and the angle will help them as much as possible by exposing the true agenda of the race base, power and money. that is what they are after. border madness is number 5. we learned today that 531,533 migrants have been apprehended at the southern border between january and april and this is totally a crisis of biden's own making. think about this. if this pace keeps up, by the end of this year biden's first year in office 2 million illegals will have been given full access to our country, free healthcare, free education, food stamps, even housing and more than any other issue this one represents the worst dereliction
12:11 am
of duty of any president in modern times. by the way putting kamala harris in charge, that was a telltale sign that biden didn't care about or didn't want the influx to continue unabated. she hasn't been to the border and is so afraid to answer questions, kamala harris hasn't held a press conference for 54 days. so much that problems all the presidency we were hearing so much about. biden and his dhs secretary should be impeached for the crime of conspiring to keep the southern border open during the national health emergency. number 6, inflation surges. the democrats dream of a wild spinis a barometer is slowly fading away as their own party's economic boom are ratting them out now. larry summers has been warning about the dark clouds forming over the biden economy for
12:12 am
months. data art decoing more towards higher inflation than i expected sooner with more inflation signs sooner than i would have expected. with the consumer price and ask growing at the fastest pace since 2008 biden has got himself in a box and under these circumstances there is no way the democrats will be able to do this multitrillion dollar spending, massive tax hikes and at the same time think they're going to keep the economy growing. it is not possible but the party this left-wing will be furious if they lose this opportunity to soak the rich and redistribute wealth for their pet projects. >> we are constantly told we cannot afford public colleges, the expansion of healthcare in the united states because we can't afford it but the official estimates that the national tax $381 billion per year.
12:13 am
>> republicans can honestly say you can't say we didn't try to warn you about what was coming. number 7, the insurrection flop, this is one of my favorites. the democrats really did believe the capital ride on january 6th would doom republicans for a generation. that somehow the images of both her boy in face paint would make americans forget that the democrats themselves are incapable of sound governance, but it turns out that americans are a lot smarter than democrats think which much more important to them is the fact that crime for instance is exploding under biden's watch and democrats continue to misread biden's mandate from day one. after four years of trump, and the pandemic, they thought they had convinced the electorate to support a much more expanded role for the federal government, didn't they?
12:14 am
it turns out onto a new pew poll, americans views haven't changed much. in august of 2020, 6 in 10, 59% of americans said the government should do more to solve problems. today, 55% hold that view. it is on down some. by the way trust in government with democrats in control of all branches of government is still at a prophetic 24%. if biden wants to turn things around for america, just assume he does, simply brush off the far left and implement the sound policies that we already know work, schools opened no matter what, low taxes, strong energy sector and a tight labor market helped by a fight border to keep wages up. i'm not holding my breath he's going to do any of that and that is that angle. victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institution, conservative author, filmmaker, host of the
12:15 am
dennis desousa podcast, democrats are not setting themselves up to look too good in 2022-2024 but it is amazing how despond and conservatives were after the election, but they misread this electorate big time and how far they thought the country had moved to the left, your reaction. >> every one of those issues you mentioned now, paul well below 50%. unit that anyway because nobody in the primary embraced some did anything other than fail, president biden to get near enough and remember president biden during the campaign and the transition didn't get near them. iran on donald trump's tweets, he was a uniter, the covid pandemic, george floyd's death, the rise, anything but everything he touched that he inherited that was golden turn
12:16 am
to dross, he had 100 days, the lockdown was ending, donald trump was not there anymore so he didn't have any other excuse but to embrace that agenda but he didn't want to embrace because he knew it was toxic that we had 115 days of it now and it is not working, it is a disaster and what we left with? basically with executive order, executive order, executive order, let's let in puerto rico or change the process with court packing with the filibuster or the national voter obama or maybe scare everybody by saying when you go to bed tonight, donald trump or racist under it and that is all there is. it is really sad, they've taken the playbook of the oscars and the nba and double down on it and are becoming twice is irrelevant. shannon: i want to get something fauci said of the weekend in his commencement speech at emory.
12:17 am
check it out. >> let us promise ourselves our corporate memory of this tragic reality, that infectious disease disparately hospitalized and kills people of color does not fade after we return to some form of normality. writing this wrong will take a decades long commitment. >> your response? >> i think it is genuinely frightening to have an infectious disease expert way into the race debate in this kind of clumsy and destructive way. it is fair to say that every disease particularly diseases that target people that have a disparate impact on people who are obese, people with preexisting conditions, people who live in poor neighborhoods
12:18 am
where sanitation is not as good, there are all kinds of factors that contribute to why some group is more vulnerable to disease than another. it is a completely different thing to say there is a systemic bias in the hospital system or the healthcare system that is causing these inequities and so what fauci is doing is playing into this idea that american institutions, for whatever reason, produce disparate outcomes. think about it, the nba and the nfl produce the racially different outcomes far more disparate than the health system and nobody calls those racist because they are not. laura: it is completely discounting what we know about covid which what we reported in march of 2020 on the ingraham angle that a high health risk, comorbidities lead to severe results of getting infected from covid which is hospitalization and even death. the italians showed that with hypertensive disorder, diabetes, this, that is what he should be
12:19 am
talking about, america needs a basic focus on their own personal health because that had an effect on covid. that has been proven. >> you just quoted doctor fauci for 10 months, that is what he said, be careful about comorbidities like obesity and cardiopulmonary issues and especially age and when he talks about vaccinations, the order vaccinations, that's what he said but he's talking to a specialized audience now and feels he will demagogue the issue but never said that to the american people in front of them, getting really desperate because i think he knows that most of his advice was wrong, scott atlas was more correct than he was at the historical record is starting to show that, we are getting a lot of information out of reinvestigation of how the virus started on the role the united
12:20 am
states played in funding some of this and dysfunctions with absolute disaster that should never have happened and his footprint or handprint or whatever we say, something we gave to the wuhan lab. laura: imagine if we had an independent press corps or honest press corps. how is the cdc limiting the review of americans who get infected after vaccination. we are going to investigate next. ♪eh uh, eh uh♪ ♪flow (oh my gosh)♪ ♪where man go (oh my gosh)♪ ♪if a man see me (oh my gosh)♪ ♪i guess you never know what you got 'til it's♪ ♪flow (oh my gosh)♪ ♪where man go (oh my gosh)♪ ♪if a man see me (oh my gosh)♪ ♪i guess you never know what you got 'til it's♪ ♪eh uh, eh uh eh uh, eh uh eh uh, eh uh eh uh♪

'cause we are.
12:25 am
♪ ♪ >> laura: as the left is threatening to punish unvaccinated americans, here is something that have not been telling you. at the end of april, more than 9200 laura: is the left is threatening to punish and vaccinated americans hear something they haven't been telling you. at the end of april 9200 americans contracted covid after being fully vaccinated. that's only a small fraction of the 95 million who were vaccinated but each case offers a clue as to why the vaccine doesn't always work. it was shocking to see the cdc announced it would not be reviewing all cases were vaccinated people end of becoming infected. and to the agency is only going to monitor so-called vaccine breakthroughs that result in hospitalization or death. joining me now is professor of medicine at harvard medical school, why is the cdc doing this and this information not useful?
12:26 am
>> >> it is not surprising they operate with cases with the vaccines but we can't expected to be as good as immunity from natural disease but it is still very good vaccine and important all the people receive it but for any breakthrough cases it is important to investigate as long as there are symptoms but if there are symptoms it is important to investigate and also important to compare studies of the efficacy to see which vaccines work best and some in better groups than others. shannon: there's now a t cell test that can be ordered, has emergency use authorization from the cdc. given that t cells are the first line of defense against covid shouldn't people who are
12:27 am
hesitant about the vaccine at least get that t cell test itself and if they were exposed and throughout the virus? >> they can get that test, the regular antibody test to see if they are exposed. laura: it is that in the antibody test, certainly more accurate than the antibody test but i want to ask you about the so-called experts rush to get americans vaccinated, they seem less in a hurry to do so. >> what percentage of the employees in your institute, your center or your agency has been vaccinated? >> i'm not 100% sure but i think it is a little more than half, around 60%. shannon: should americans be concerned the public health officials pushing the vaccine aren't rushing to get them? >> if you've had the disease you
12:28 am
don't need the vaccine. it doesn't have to be that but the key thing is older people who have not had the disease need to get vaccinated and that is especially important to ensure people get the vaccine because they have more hurdles to get the health services and with the lockdowns, but protected their laptop and professionals, journalists like you and scientists like me and so on, we are not protected so that is why we had much higher burden of this disease among the workers compared to more affluent people and especially in a city where infectious diseases are often more serious in urban settings.
12:29 am
>> i want to reiterate something you said. if you got the disease, t cells or antibodies, there are tests for both, if you've got the disease you should not get vaccinated. that is what you are saying? >> you don't need the vaccine was maybe 5 or 10 years from now but now, including people in india or brazil or other countries where a lot of older people have not been vaccinated. laura: i hope everybody hears this tonight because there are a lot of people who got covid or were exposed and never knew about it and getting those tests and find that information out is critical, thank you so much. as we play for you the angle president biden claimed it was neanderthal thinking for texas to end the mask mandate so let's see how they measure up versus the state that kept those mask
12:30 am
mandates in place. texas has 25 million people reporting 388 new covid infections and 0 death yesterday. meanwhile new york has 2, 20 million people, at 1085 new covid cases and 39 death. of course governor cuomo of new york has been handsomely rewarded for his gross mismanagement. according to these new disclosures the love goes rakes in $5 million for his book on leadership, i love that, not bad. here with me now is new york congressman and candidate for governor congressman, how big an issue is this going to be, covid decisions, in your race? >> over $5 million, last time i got an update months ago, 40,000 copies of this book, that rough math seems $100 a copy, i don't think you will be doing that at the end of the show but the
12:31 am
nursing home order and cover-up, the loss of life, you're profiting off of, this is blood money, profiting off of the suffering, physically, emotionally, financially of your constituents, new yorkers. what he should have done this time last year was show remorse, publicly apologize for the mistake of his order, be transparent with the public, he said he was too busy to provide that transparency but he wasn't too busy to go after this multimillion dollar self-congratulatory book deal. >> the ultimate hypocrisy. governor cuomo made an announcement today on masks. >> effective this wednesday were going to adopt the cdc of new guidance and regulations on masks and social distancing for
12:32 am
vaccinated people, you still need to wear a mask in public transportation, subways, buses, nursing homes, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, schools. >> are new yorkers ready to ditch the masks? >> yes, i hear from new yorkers across the state especially new yorkers who have been vaccinated and then they see the cdc guidance come out several days ago and andrew cuomo is still saying he wasn't going to loosen up the mask restrictions in new york so you have a whole lot of people scratching their head and it comes down to the governor's ego, he wants to be the one to give you your freedoms back. new yorkers looking at places like florida, governor ron desantis where your money goes further, people feel safer, living by freer and leaving and those were staying saying why can't we have of you. this governor's ego is getting in the way of a lot of different decisions reflecting individually, impacting operations of businesses where
12:33 am
they haven't survived and freedoms and privacy in so many respects this governor has been infringing upon it and you are not just from republicans the democrats too, they want to save their state. they've had enough, they say cuomo has got to go. shannon:.to pull over disaffected democrats are seeing their state hollow out in places like florida and other places. we will be following it, thank you. a royal, you heard about it, attacking america, the biggest officials in dc completely ignoring the covid guidance. we will tell you who they are, seen and unseen, raymond arroyo next.
12:38 am
♪ ♪ >> laura: it is time for our "seen and unseen" segment where expose the big cultural stories of the day. and for change time for seen and unseen secretary exposed to the cultural stories of the day and for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. prince harry is not making a lot of friends. >> everywhere you turn there is something. prince harry is promoting a new series with oprah winfrey and winemaking the podcast rounds he dropped this.
12:39 am
>> so much i want to say about the first amendment that you can find it pull in anything and capitalize or exploit what is not set rather than uphold what is said. >> i thinking george has more fans than prince harry at this point. it takes -- to come to america, use our first amendment to spin your privilege and poses a victim with overwhelmed defame in the constitution that gives you the right. that's a neat trick i would like to ask what is bonkers as he calls it a, our right to free speech? religious expression? assembly? this is why we broke from england, to protect those god-given rights but if you want to know what is really bonkers, listen. >> the most amazing explanation to that, you can create a life
12:40 am
that is better than any and that is come from lived experience. >> her own experience of building a better life using the princess title, they both need to fully renounce the title and see how many insights they get toward shows or anywhere else. it will be awfully quiet, the phones won't ring i promise you. shannon: imagine if they had to live on their talent. imagine that. >> the aspen institute, he's a board member of the commission on information disorder. this is like bringing bill gates into be a marriage counselor. what talent does he have any syria? he spins message disinformation. very confusing. last week we reported on a truly bonkers soar. the alderman zoo in new orleans canceled an event to show solidarity with the police over concerns it might offend members inside and outside of the community. i mentioned folks at the zoo hardwired when i asked people in
12:41 am
person about that decision. >> don't see anything wrong with supporting anybody who serves the public. >> to not support the police is kind of just doesn't make sense. >> we should support the police. most everybody i know does, 1000%. it is absolutely ridiculous. >> it is absolutely ridiculous. to demonstrate that ingraham angle results, who quietly walked back her decision over the weekend. in a note to members the ceo says our participation in and cancellation of the zoo caused pain in our community and was unsupportable to hard-working people of our police department who put their lives on the line to protect and serve this community. that was never our intention, they promised a partner with police, good idea. shannon: i have a question. is it the ottoman zoo or the autobahn zoo?
12:42 am
is it autobahn? have i been saying the whole time? >> in new orleans we pronounce it autobahn. that is how we pronounce it but shark street is shark street, it is the way we do things in new orleans. laura: i once called brett favre brett favre ray. thank you. as long as we are speaking of bad decisions the cdc is saying vaccinated people don't need to wear masks outdoors or indoors but the president has even come up with his own pissy version of the guidance. >> fastest or masked. >> and that katie?
12:43 am
i think the president, twice, here he is coming out of masks this sunday in a mask and the other day at george washington university doctor fauci took some selfys with students outdoors. he also wore a mask. i think this example undermines whatever they are saying, 80 roads of the confidence in the ability of the cdc to say go out, you are vaccinated, indoor outdoor no masks in two leading figures of the government on the issue wearing masks outside. don't know how -- >> the democrats need to ditch the donkey as their mascot and just have a mask, a dirty old mask people had hanging from their blinkers in their cars, that should be -- that is their

12:49 am
>> norfolk, virginia, police lieutenant william kelly served on the force for nearly 20 years. shannon: virginia police incident legally served on the force for nearly 20 years, lived being upset that last month he was abruptly fired, he made a completely legal and anonymous $25 donation to kyle written defense fund. we we know about the donation because of malicious media campaign to try to ruin the lives of rittenhouse's donors but lieutenant kelly isn't about to roll over, he's fighting back and joined me now along with his attorney, real good. tell us how you felt, what
12:50 am
happened that day? >> i was shocked. didn't think there was an egregious thing i have done. i thought i as a private citizen just make a contribution and some comforting words, i thought he had a strong case for self-defense, we don't fire out of nowhere. >> ray, you are challenging this firing on what grounds? >> first and foremost first amendment free-speech. police officers have a right to free-speech, the law established it on that. if a police officer is speaking as a private citizen which he was on a matter of public concern which he was then the police department and the city have to have a pretty substantial reason to punish them for that speech which they
12:51 am
don't. also they completely deprived him of due process, they handed him his notice of his opportunity to respond and his charges and simultaneously terminated him which is completely unheard-of. >> northrup is in trouble over this, the norfolk police department not surprisingly declined our request for additional information regarding her termination but you did challenge them filing this grievance and in it you allege the city of norfork particularly the police chief terminated your employment because of your donation and your message was received by them as imposing or impeding the black was matter political movement. was racist politics at all part of your basis for your termination? >> i'm not sure what the personal politics are of the chief or the city manager, but i
12:52 am
am confident that it was the pressure put on the city by a very small but vocal group of people that caused them to terminate me. >> is a now former police officer and you love to be in a police officer, i know that, what is your message to america today tonight about how police are being treated, in this case worse than the criminals on the street, in a revolving door being arrested the next day. >> police officers across the country not just in norfork go to work every day and want to protect people's rights to
12:53 am
assemble, to peacefully protest, protect the right to self-defense and free expression and i don't think those rights are in conflict with each other. it is important to protect them for all citizens, not just private citizens but also public employees, teachers, police officers, firefighters. >> everyone is to see this, back to the point about the politicization of this charge, you don't have to say it, i will. you agree -- grievance filed include the shocking photo of the norfolk police chief named larry boone, i want to repeat his name, larry boone, wearing his official uniform while holding a black lives matter sign. that is okay. how is that acceptable but $25 anonymous donation to kyle rittenhouse's legal defend is grounds for termination. i believe that to the lawyer to respond. >> it is not. a picture speaks 1000 words. boone is walking in the march with black lives matter activists protesting against police carrying the sign black lives matter.
12:54 am
you know what? if chief boom wants to do that that is okay with us and if the city wants to let him do that that is okay with us but you can't have it both ways, can't have a double standard and this is worse than a double standard because the lieutenant did not walk around in the parade with any message. he donated a tiny amount of money anonymously. ashley: laura: he has a right to donate any amount of money to any group you wants to. a legal defense fund, you can march with blm in your uniform and that is to be celebrated? you might be okay with that, i am not. anyway we will stay on this story, thank you and good luck. of next a shocking last bite.
