tv The Ingraham Angle FOX News May 20, 2021 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT
7:00 pm
people say politically incorrect things, don't go. it's simple: let's have freedom. i hope they can be funny again. chris is funny and smart. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham, you ready? >> laura: when he said you have to be free to fail, he meant you have to be free to offend. he didn't want to say the word offend. it's not failing. >> sean: he is one of the funniest guys. he doesn't care. when he is done throws down the microphone and i am out of here. amazing on stage. >> laura: well, they are killing everything about the culture. we will pick up where you left off on culture. i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight.
7:01 pm
could the pressure campaign to vaccinate the american populace putting those infected at risk? two doctors say yes. first the racism gold rush. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." because public schools are cesspools of far left political thoughts, many parents who can't afford private schools feel their children are trapped. many of those private schools are just as bad if not worse. i can't tell you how many parents who complain about this dynamic. today the former attorney general bill barr delivered one of the most important speeches in memory on the dire state of public education in america. >> it's an absurdity.
7:02 pm
schools fail to produce students efficient in basic reading and math they spare no effort or expense to instill a radical secular belief system that would have been unimaginable a few years ago. >> laura: why should we send tax dollars to schools that teach our kids to hate the country? teachers and administrators created a taxpayer funding system. they think they should not answer to anyone on issues like curriculum or sports or anything in school. they want total control no questions asked. parents, forget it.
7:03 pm
we saw this during covid where teachers dismissed parent's concerns about remote learning. >> if you call me out, i will [bleep] you up. [laughing]. that's me. >> [muffled audio]. >> laura: now with covid and the death of george floyd many are eager to embrace critical race features in every subject of schooling. all of this wokeness costs big bucks funneled to anti-american race hucksters. we learned that schools in maryland paid half a million dollars on an anti-racism audit and gave it to the group called the mid-atlantic equity
7:04 pm
consortium which is funded by your tax dollars through the department of education. of the $19 million the group raised since 2001, 17 million is from taxpayer cash. what a scam! a doctor and now the acting superintendent claimed the anti-racist audit would examine the practices and policies that do not create access opportunities and equitable outcomes. are the me translate this for you. they are preparing as are many school across america to bring racial propaganda into school subjects and every academic
7:05 pm
award given out. they will hire anti-american people destroying what is left of objective merit for students and faculty alike. if you are white, you are guilty. if you are not white you are given special consideration. this is just plain old racism. the consultants hired, meet the psychiatrist hired by a school district in california to lecture faculties on anti-racism. >> the first question, raise your hand if you are a racist. no one races their hand and they are all telling the truth. by the end of it, you will understand you are telling the
7:06 pm
truth and you are also lying at the same time. that's because we have bias that you can't tell me you are not racist. >> laura: this is the product of decades of educational decay. just repeating what she heard in another seminar. it is dangerous. things are as toxic in our state university funded by the taxpayer. last month the pennsylvania state system of higher edcaution showcased a pathetic array of bafoon. >> we teach the old dead white philosophiers. >> i have spoken to students about this. the absence of a diverse curriculum is the absence of
7:07 pm
affirming their humanity. our campuses are well under way with implementing the new training module. many campuses credits it as part of the freshman orientation so it is required. >> laura: get the kids early from the movement they step on campus in case their highs was not woken up about how racist america is. the legislature should shut this down want not a single taxpayer dollar should go to the promotion of a corosive and racist philosophy. not in kthrough 12 or higher education. >> confronting this issue is the most urgent task for people concerned about religious
7:08 pm
liberty. that's not safe in the united states as long as we have this kind of public school system. >> laura: he said that the solution is to give parents universal school choice where their tax dollars travel with them and they choose where to send kids to school. things are dire on college campuses, but there are rays of hope. chapel hill struck a note for common sense by revoking an offer to the 619 projebbing. -- project. they claim the college boards of trustees are racist. the biden administration is full steam ahead is critical race
7:09 pm
theorys in school. they want to direct follow grant money to projects that incorporate racial diversity and... but, they poked the bear. 20 state attorney generals are fighting against these plans and oppose any government funds going to any projects that characterize the united states as racist or assign blame to a particular race. folks, it's my firm belief that democrats will rue the day they linked arms with the marxists on this issue. most women who voted for descent old joe biden didn't think this was part of the bargain. next time they walk into the
7:10 pm
voting booth they can strike a blow against the racial industrial complex that wants to wreck america as it robs us blind. that's the "angle." joining me now is a professor at brown university. this leads to a larger question: why would a woman who destroyed history up for a tenured position at any university in the first place? >> well, i assume her professional distinction and her initiative at the "times" magazine makes her an appropriate candidate for a school of journalism. tenure? that's at the heart of the
7:11 pm
university. where is the sustained body of work. she has a master's degree. you might want to see more depth. i am not surprised that the trustees putting political issues to the side. my understanding is their position is let's see. 5 years. renewable appointment and we will see. >> laura: the other thing that i think this is driving people bonkers about this critical race theory is what it intends to do is equalize outcomes. across the board. explain what that does to the pursuit of excellence in
7:12 pm
education. >> so, the issue is the distinction between the quality of opportunity and equity. we want to see disparities between groups go away. the same number of black and latino and white or asian doing this and that. the groups are not performing to the same extent if you insist on equal outcomes but don't have equal performance the only way to get is by lowering standards. the insistence upon equity is a concession we that we won't look at performance if doing so prevents us from gettings our numbers right. that's a bad thing.
7:13 pm
>> laura: the idea that everyone has his or her truth. this is my truth! there is also objective truths. that goes out the window. even in science today it goes out the window. this is my truth! you have to validate it even if you don't agree with it, you have to validate it. >> yes, it's a real problem. identity politics is one thing. i have this identity and my voice must be heard. i am therefore i know -- and you can't know it you are not me. i have a special insight into knowledge. this is very anti-intellectual. >> laura: there are not many
7:14 pm
conservatives on college campuses and faculties across the country. what do you say to conservatives who want to go into academics today? where should they go if they are being blocked? >> well, it's a tough call. it's not just conservatives. i was speaking to a young scholar, they are not a conservative at all. they are centrist. he is very smart and should get a ph d in economists but he can't bear the idea i would have to day in and out deal with this
7:15 pm
one dimensional opinion for something that is not clear what the right answers are. go ahead and get the phd. there are good jobs out there. >> laura: a lot of fat endowments insulate the universities from changing their ways. this set off a racial radicals in the media. joey reid tweeted universities should not deny tenure. and: joining me is mark meadows a former north carolina congressman and trump white chief of staff. why would a school such as unc
7:16 pm
have ever entertained the idea of bringing jones into the university system given the fact even liberal scholars have panned her work as flawed throughout? >> well, what we see here is not just bringing her in but the recommendation originally was to give her a permanent position. and you look at 1619, the date you should look at is 1620. what we know from history is that actually a group of pilgrims came here for religious liberty in 1620. we are trying to redefine it. we have someone offered a job at unc that the work that individual did would not pass muster in most history classes. but being applauded by the left progressives across the country. it's redefining history in a way
7:17 pm
that is not consistent with the facts. >> laura: joe biden today continued to demean the country he leads. watch. >> every time you are the hate flourish, you make a lie of who we are as a nation. we cannot let the foundation of this country continue to be eaten away. like it has been at other moments in our history and it's happening again. >> laura: he takes the presidency. he was going to calm the waters and everything would be unity. now it's like a rotten racist place he is president of. >> well, we continue to see that the racial divide, that racism narrative from the democrat left is all they have to offer. they are looking to divide.
7:18 pm
martin luther king was hopeful children would not be judged on the color of their skin but the content of their character. critical race theory says the only thing you should focus is on the color of the skin. it's dividing us and not bringing us together. >> laura: looking at weather patterned at the border and over half a million people were apprehended at the border, we find out today that apparently they are keeping if place trump's order while broadening it enough to please the left wing activists. if they rescind title 42 they can't deport single men. mark, what about this?
7:19 pm
>> well, they have gone from just an inept policy on the border to one that is so convoluted it provides no border at all. part is when they say if you try to address that, they say you are racist in trying to address a secure southern border. when we look at the policies that the biden administration are putting forth, it's a policy of no decisions. they are not making decisions in the middle east or on jobs. it's more inaction than action. >> laura: thank you. and police department from coast to coast are gutted by selfish politicians. the results are devastating for communities. we will talk to two business owners in the middle of the storm with a powerful message.
7:24 pm
7:25 pm
months of this year. in minneapolis the city lost over 25% of officers. violent crimes spiked 21%. the last 18 months seattle's police force shrunk 20% and homicide are riseing to levels not seen in 2 decades. officer clayton powell is retiring early. >> you get rocks and bottles and cinder blocks thrown at you. we have to stand there and take it. >> were you told not to react? >> in most cases, yeah. when you see businesses get destroyed and families lose their livelihoods because of that destruction and we can't do anything about it. we are not allowed to intercede. >> laura: what is it like trying to run a business into this
7:26 pm
atmosphere. joining me now an owner. tod, you say the violence is so bad that delivery trucks won't deliver now to certain areas. >> yes, our business in the industrial part of seattle and over the last year or so, we had instances of truck drivers, long haul drivers, being assaulted. at gun point. threatened and we had issues where trucks won't deliver to seattle. they said we don't want to go to seattle. considering there is a trucker shortage and they can pick and choose where they want to go. we are a place they are not coming. >> laura: that's unbelievable.
7:27 pm
lonnie, a business in minneapolis inflamed. this is only one mile from your own business. you saw firsthand the looting and unrest there. i spent a lot of time in minneapolis including recently. do you feel like you have to fend for yourself there? i never see police in minneapolis when i am there, rarely. >> at times it's made life difficult with the smaller police here in minneapolis and the loss of trust between us and our community and the members that were used to be active. they are scare to leave their house or talk to the neighbors. >> laura: i think of minnesota nice and minneapolis is a great city and wonderful people. what is running through your mind over the last 14 months of
7:28 pm
what is going down? >> from the reaction to the covid epidemic until the george floyd events and the officer involved shooting in brooklyn center. society is delicate. people are hurting. they have different ways of coping with it. it's a problem when you don't trust your neighbors. you are not sure how you feel about anything. you are trying to figure out where society is going. for those who don't have the value system and a sound view of the future it's really tough on them. >> laura: we have a lot of focus on january 6th and what happened on january 6th in the capitol. i know lonnie has thoughts on this. this is a huge amount of damage across the country done with
7:29 pm
this increase in crime and major american cities and suburbs. it gets some cornelling but not to the extent we see endless coverage of january 6th. meanwhile the country is falling apart beyond the capitol dome. >> yes, that's correct. >> [overlapping talking]. >> i agree. we still have major parts of downtown seattle that are boarded up. there is graffiti everywhere. there are places in the city through don't want to go. we have tents. our place gets tagged all the time. they take batteries and catalytic converts. there is a vacuum of police because there are not enough. it's not the seattle police fault. there are not enough of them.
7:30 pm
they are told don't intercede. can you walk into home depot and walk out with a power tool and nobody will do anything. >> laura: nothing. >> the bad guys know it. >> laura: what about a commission to investigate why crime is sweeping the country? we have a commission on january 6th. >> i would love to see that. we have had a ton of january 6th in the year 2020 that no one rockefeller plaza. -- remembers. victims are traumatized with the violence going on in certain parts of minneapolis where the gun violence this past week has changed lives forever. three young kids here. we focus so much on one date not looking at all of the other cities that have been impacted severely by all of the events
7:31 pm
that are taking place. >> laura: thanks for your stories tonight. here's a question: the communities most at risk want to defund the police? we know the answer. gallup found that 81% of black americans wanted spend the police to spend more times in their neighborhood. dr. ben carson, these racial radicals are signaling to someone out there thinking they are connecting with someone on this message of defund the police, but these cities are in a free fall. >> well, obviously the people who need the police the most are the people who are in dangerous situations like many of these inner cities. when you stop and think about what the police go through, we need to other than how to be
7:32 pm
more compassionate up. they get up morning and put the uniform on, they don't know if they are coming back home. when the phone rings their spouse's heart jumps into their throat. you stop a car, you don't know what you will encounter. there are a few bad police but millions of encounters with police every week. you see only a very small number of these aberrant cases but we magnify them to make it seem like that is what is going on with everybody. if every profession was treated that way, nobody would look good. doctors, dentists. lawyers, tv correspondants if we judged them on the basis of a bad apple. >> laura: and we talked about minneapolis, the last 13 hours,
7:33 pm
it was reported that a 7-year-old little girl was shot and killed in the city. >> absolutely. what would you expect if the police are not able to do their job because there are so few of them? so many are retiring. i wonder and i hope it's just a thought. i wonder if they are trying to make the police go away so they can call on the military and we can have the same situation that was in washington, d.c. after january 6th. i hope we don't get to that point. this is the kind of thing that would set that up. we need to understand there are consequences for these actions. we want to have freedom and the only way can you have freedom is
7:34 pm
you have order. law and order and the right proportions and there is no question that there are things that can be done with the police and with policing. from are all kinds of new technologies that are available that are nonlethal. we need to talk about the options that exist. community policing. i talked to a police officer who walks through the community every day and everybody knows him. he never has to buy lunch. everybody loves him. if there is a problem they tell them. those are the kinds of things we can do. >> laura: thank you very much for being here tonight. the well funded campaign to vaccinate every living american could be putting lives at rink. -- risk. two doctors explain what they found in three new studies.

about the right to privacy. well, that is now an obstacle to their goal of forcing covid vaccines on every american. case in point: california governor gavin newsom is sending out 2000 door knockers to show up to ask about their vaccination status. the media is joining in. from "usa today": businesses can act if patrons have been vaccinated. the prospect of widespread vaccine shaming has dr. fauci and friends very excited. >> there is no doubt in my mind or many of my public health colleagues we are already starting to see steps in that direction. independent entits will likely be requiring proof of vaccination before you can get on a plane or step into a university campus. >> laura: why stop at vaccines?
7:41 pm
speaking of this could they be endangering your health? here is dr. harvey from the yale school of public health and dr. peter mccullough. summarize these three new papers have you worried on about this. >> we have made great progress in covid-19. patients are being treating early. a common question i bet in practice: do i need the covid-19 vaccine if i already had covid-19? very importantly, is there any risk to that? well, the trials excluded patients with prior covid-19. we have no safety data and no studies demonstrating a clinical benefit. two studies show higher rates of
7:42 pm
vaccine adverse events when recovered covid patients are needlessly vaccinated. no evidence of benefit and only evidence of harm. >> laura: even though dr. fauci has no grandkids, he wants yours to get vaccinated. >> i am not a grandparent. but i would say 6 years old and 4 years old would be likely to get vaccinated by the end of calendar year of 2021. >> and you would recommend it? >> absolutely. if i had grandchildren i would recommend they get vaccinated. >> laura: how irresponsible is this? >> it's irrational. young children don't get very sick with covid. they get fevers and headaches and tiredness.
7:43 pm
they don't spread the virus. they don't die from the virus. neither they nor the society around them has any interest in vac nauth them. -- vac nauth them. i could get harmed from the virus. 15-year-old children are getting heart attacks. 2 years old dying a day after the vaccination. it won't help them or the society. >> laura: is this all about the stream of money the drug companies make? now we are talking about booster shots so you have to get them forever without any concern of prior immunity?
7:44 pm
>> the vaccine stake holders made a great gamble. that the epidemic will be closed out with the vaccine alone. the cdc needs to have an external, unbiassed event committee and monitoring committee as in any clinical investigation. >> laura: the cdc director walensky is encouraging pregnant women to get vaccinateed. >> we have no reason to suspect that the vaccines result in any infertility now or in the future. we have no reason to believe that getting vaccinated will change your menstrual cycle. there are decades of research
7:45 pm
that allowed us to meet this moment. >> laura: setting aside the creepy music, what about this? >> well, this is not information is not on the absence of risk. pregnant women have not been study and have not been studied long off to note what the outcome is from the first third of pregnancy if women get vaccinated. we don't know what happens to their stillbirth. we know that fevers in the first third of pregnancy increase the risk of genetic abnormalities and these vaccine frequently cause fevers. >> laura: doctors, thank you.
7:46 pm
7:51 pm
that everyone endured for 14 months created a big back lash against the power hungry blue states governors. in pennsylvania citizens ran under the governor's rein of terror. >> wear masks and schools will remained closed for the rest of the academic year. indoor dining is suspended. the guidance from us, we don't do any sports until january 1st narrator: voters got sick of this and approved 2 measures to curtail the governor's use of emergency powers. joining me say legislator who led the charge. pennsylvania state senator. could then a model for other states given how these emergency powers were used and abused and
7:52 pm
reupped? >> i believe it will be. i had communications with other legislators. the issue of legislative responsibility and the executive branch was the main topic of all states with democratic or republican governors. the legislative branch of government is the voice of the people. to be shutout is unacceptable. not what the framers intended. i believe other states will follow. >> laura: senator, this sounds fresh, why did it take so long? most of these rules are slowly winding down? are you preparing for the next declaration a climate or racial emergency? >> yes, we had to go the constitutional route and passed
7:53 pm
a statute. the governor took us in court and we lost to a liberal court. we went to the constitutional amendment process. we completed and it went on the main ballot and the voters supported it. that's a process we needed to do. we are preparing for the next one so people won't be subjected to this same type of control as this governor has had for 14 months. >> laura: the governor responded to the vote this way. >> i met with the leaders of both caucuses in both chambers to figure this out. we are starting that conversation. you can't flick a switch and make the change. we will make the best of it. >> laura: sound like he is dragging his feet? the language is clear. >> yes, the language is clear.
7:54 pm
we could have an emergency and after 21 days he has to come to the legislature for an extension. we need to be at the table to have discussions and be part of the process on how we govern pennsylvania. we had discussions with the governor. we will put our opinions at the table on this. if we don't agree with the governor we will end the emergency. >> laura: we appreciate you giving us rachael lavine. "the last bite" next.
8:00 pm
in by the very first female vice president. >> you have a staffer that crawled in the cart behind you and is the greatest thing i've ever seen. we know you are behind the desk. >> that happens to me every tim i earrings drop. we are going to the honor syste to find out whether or not people are vaccinated.
