her grandma's home in puerto rico that she says was ravaged by hurricane maria. i'm genuinely sorry to hear that, blame former president trump that he blocked grilli funding for puerto rico. now, trump actually gave puerto rico 13 billion in aid in 2020. but you could sell your tesla and give your grandma that money. let not your heart be troubled. laura, hi. >> laura: i'm glad you corrected the record. speak to you always have a great pack shall come every night. >> laura: so do you. i'm getting my sippy cup tomorrow. >> sean: i hope it has your name on it. >> laura: i need it. i'm going to say "president sippy cup?" " i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle." what he is calling for dr. fauci to be fired.

plus, a former blm chapter had says he knows the ugly truth about the group. tonight, he takes us inside the movement. but first, the man who cried covid, that is the focus of tonight's angle. last week, we told you this wuhan lab leak was a huge issue that could bring down the entire d.c. establishment. the public health officials, academia, big tech, the media, and of course the politicians that sought to exploit a virus to drive trump out of office. well, now we know why the press started changing her story over the last two weeks. emails to and from anthony fauci released through her request to show us how cozy his relationship was with china at the very moment he should have been transparent with americans about the risky research that he knew was going on in the wuhan lab. now, from these emails we see that dr. fauci's deception and

purposeful obfuscation was even worse than we previously thought. his nearly four to $25,000 salary is paid for by the american taxpayers. his agency is funded by the american taxpayers. but he acted as though he was accountable to no one. well, that changes tonight. much of what fauci said about the virus, the drugs that could treated, and the measures just slow the spread was untrue. he knew it was untrue. we are going to go through the emails and new insights point by point, first on the masks. this was fauci's big reversal on masks last year. >> the thinking is really now influenced by information that is coming then that people who are without symptoms at all can transmit the virus. but importantly, they can do it. merely by speaking. it may not necessarily need to be a classical mask, but it

could be some sort of facial, covering. >> laura: fauci always knew that cloth masks did not work. on february 5th 2020 he wrote this email to sylvia burwell, the president of american university and former hhs secretary. "dear sylvia, masks are for affected people to spread infection to people who are not infected rather than an protecting uninfected people from acquiring factions the typical mask you were at a drugstore is not really effective in keeping out the virus. particularly because you are going to a low risk location." while, that is nothing we didn't tell you last year. we are just trying to figure out why the messaging from medical professionals changed. the science didn't really change on the effectiveness of those

homemade cloth masks. >> is there proof that these are effective? >> at the moment, there is no hard evidence to back that up. >> there is no evidence that shows masks are going to be effective, except perhaps an at 95 masks. >> laura: "the ingraham angle" was called a responsible for suggesting the studies on the cdc website already said. second, fauci's email was on china and the leak is a gold mine. there were those close to fauci's office that tsai don't mike scott she knocked on my china's malfeasance is a possibility. regarding covid origins article -- fauci writes, this just came out today, it's of interest to the current discussion peer to which anderson response, the unusual features of the virus making up

a very small part of the genome, so one has to look really closely at all the sequences to see that some of the features potentially look engineered. we'll find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory. then there was a secret call with anderson, fauci, and a top a top virologist. okay, fast forward from that call to march 62020. anderson tells val g that up paper he wrote now debunking the theory is about to get publishe. anderson thinks fauci. for the advice and leadership as we've been working through the origins paper. now, mysteriously, anderson's article debunking the lab link theory and also signed by the other colleagues of course was a 180-degree turn from what he told fauci in january.

then fauci rushes out to the process to call the matter basically settled. citing that article. without revealing that he himself influenced it. >> there was a study recently that we can make available to you where a group of highly qualified virologists look at the sequences there and the sequences that, as they evolve and the mutations it took to the point where it is now, is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human. >> laura: thought was a lie. the former "new york times" writer recently exposed that faulty analysis. unfortunately, this is another case of poor science. whether it was a seamless method or a serial passage, there's no way of knowing that this is the case. dr. anderson and his colleagues were assuring their readers have something they could not know.

well, of course "the ingraham angle" and a few others were constantly pushing the origins issue long ago. here is my february 2020 exchange with fauci on the issue of china's transparency, or lack thereof. >> laura: we are seeing out what could've by a rabid bat and all, no, just because it was a level four lab in the vicinity -- i just think -- i'm surprised that you would say that, given what we know about china's pattern of lying about critical issues, dr. fauci. >> the chinese scientists we dealt with, i've dealt with myself personally for years, if not decades. many of them have trained here in the united states. i have faith that they are not distorting things. >> laura: so you are satisfied with all of the transparency coming out of china today about the trajectory of the disease and the origin of the disease? >> my direct interaction with chinese scientists and chinese

health officials, i can believe what they are telling me. >> laura: "given what he already knew" -- what he already knew about it being engineered in the lab. fauci was at the very least totally reckless in not pressing on the origins issue. information that could have been used to develop possible therapies to curb covid-19. now of course, that's not even the worst of it. emails also show i freak out by fauci's team when they realize that nih money went towards dangerous research being carried out by the wuhan lab bat lady. i'll dive into that little bit more with rand paul in a few moments. but instead of working to discover if nih is funding -- what if it was actually used to enhance deadly viruses. fauci kept his close collaboration with china. one email was from his chinese counterpart who apologized for how he had been quoted in an

interview in "science" magazine. then he wrote, let's work together to get the virus out of the earth. found she responds away a old friend would. "thanks for the note, i understand completely, no problem. we will get through this together." if only he felt the same way about american physicians like dr. scott atlas who raised legitimate questions about the wisdom of things like damaging lockdowns. now, these emails should mark the end of the road for fauci. he allowed taxpayer dollars to fund the chinese labs that may have created the virus that crippled the world and killed millions. and as these emails show, he and his cronies launched a desperate campaign to cover that up. now was it because they were worried about their own reputations? as for the media's role in the cover-up, they didn't just protect fauci, they deified him in their obsession to drive trump out of office.

and that'll continue today. >> there is no doubt that there's people out there who for one reason or another resent me for what i did in the last administration, which was not anything that was hand i trumpet all, it was just trying to get the right information as you lee and more come you've got to continue to evolve with the data. and that's what i was trying to do, always tell the truth. >> laura: is that's what we are calling it? evolving? this is the follow-up. >> even when personal emails come out -- you pass the test that very few of us would pass. >> laura: that's funny, really funny. they trusted the ccp more than they trusted the american people with the truth. we know that lots of people inside our government and big tech, and the media, were not

motivated by the science or health, but they were motivated about what was going to help them defeat trump. this is why conservatives don't trust the experts in the globalists that they serve. trump didn't destroy their credibility, they did it to themselves. now most of us are simply going to ignore them. they've proven to be liars. calculating enough to use public fear to drive irrational policies. while at the same time rejecting beneficial therapies like hydroxychloroquine. the angle got it right on most of the big issues. why? we developed our own independent reliable sources of information. frontline doctors who actually treated hundreds of covid patients along with researchers who weren't afraid of being censored. going forward, we need every document about the management of this pandemic -- the wuhan lab,

gain of function, all of it to be released without any reductions except for some extraneous personal information, you can redact that. americans need to see the full picture of what happened and who was driving at. fauci and everyone who aided and abetted him should have been terminated long ago. if democrats really cared about restoring the public's trust, they would immediately call for hearings. and the questions would be something unusual for the democrats. they would be objective, serious, and probing. and that is "the angle." all right, joining us now is one of the few who questions dr. fauci's expertise, senator rand paul. you are now calling for the firing of anthony fauci. what can you do in the senate to get more answers than the ones that we have from the emails which are still redacted?

>> i think we've had a seed change of opinion. everybody left of center was saying that this was a conspiracy. no way could it have happened in the wuhan lab. now even dr. fauci is saying we should investigate it. but the emails paint a disturbing picture. at the disturbing picture of dr. fauci from the very beginning worrying that he had been funding gain of function research. and he knows it to this day. we have to get democrat counterparts to investigate this. and so far it's been such a partisan support for dr. fauci that he can do no wrong. but really there's a lot of... she has a great feel of conflict of interest and if it turns out this virus came from the wuhan lab, which it does seem like a dead, there's culpability in that big supporter of the funding, but he also was a big supporter to this day of saying we could trust the chinese on this. i think that's quite naive and to really should preclude him

from the position that he is in. >> laura: referencing the point you just made, senator. the emails -- they show that fauci was scrambling in those early days of the pandemic to find out the links between the nih funded gain of function research and covid. here is how one of his nih underlings responded to this email about a 2015 gain of function study that was coauthored by the wuhan institute of virology. he said the paper you sent me says the experience were performed before the gain of function pause, but have since been reviewed. they've gone through the p3 framework. explain that, senator. why is that so significant? >> here, laura, what makes it worse. two weeks ago in a committee hearing he said they did not

fund any gain of function research. i quoted that specific paper, so the very paper he puts in the meal -- she says oh, my goodness, we need to read this paper because it looks like we are actually funding gain of function research, which is where we juice up these viruses, take them from animals, and infect them in humans. he's worried about this in february of last year, but only two weeks ago he tells me, oh, it wasn't gain of function research. but in his email in the subject line he says "gain of function research." he was admitting that to his private underlings seven, eight, nine months ago months ago. >> laura: could there be criminal culpability here given the repeated failures of dr. fauci, who was basically in charge of our messaging on this and advice on this. could there be criminal culpability here of fraud or ongoing collaboration with the chinese when he was making excuses for them?

>> at the very least, there is moral culpability. in the research done by the bat scientist in wuhan, she gives him credit. she lists the exact nih grant with the i.d. number listing the money and thanking the nih for the money. it's clearly gain of function. there are several scientists who were in this field, cellular biologists, they all say that taking a sars virus and adding a protein to make it infect human cells -- that is the very domination of gain of function. it's very dangerous. we shouldn't be doing it here or there, but dr. fauci has denied it to this day. but the private emails show he was acknowledging it was gain of function. the scientific community needs to look at this, because he hides behind this veil of the lab coat that nobody can question him. >> laura: yeah well -- >> i believe that's absolutely gain of function research. and to this day he still saying

it down like he would do it again. >> laura: one of those emails obtained by buzzfeed, senator, was from peter josh schelke of the eco-health alliance. he was the one pushing this and doing the research that was funded by nih in wuhan. so he wrote to fauci on april 18th 2020, i just want to say a personal thank you for publicly standing up and stating that the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for covid-19. not a lab release -- it's unbelievable. >> here's the thing, laura. peter does think is not a unintd party. he was the founder of the research in wuhan, so he has a self interest and not -- >> laura: that's my point. it's because that's my point too. any investigation going forward, it can't include tony fauci -- they were the ones who funded the lab.

they have a conflict of interest coming to the truth. >> laura: we want to ask one more question which is about the timing of the lift of the moratorium on this type of research, senator. in january 9th of 2017, the niaid released this statement saying, we've gone through the reviews as to why this type of research should be permitted. it was 11 days before donald trump is inaugurated. and it's like a four, five page memorandum. you can find that timing to be interesting? >> absolutely. they ban it for three years and then right before donald trump becomes president, they allow it again and start granting exemptions, all approved by dr. fauci. the committee's secret -- they won't let you know on the committee, but you know

dr. fauci knows who's on the committee and reveals the stuff. but then they also allowed some of the research in wuhan not to go before the committee. and when would they were asked, they said it wasn't gain of function research. they basically defined it out of the purview of the committee that was supposed to be assessing safety and preventing dangerous experiments from going on for their something rotten in denmark and somebody needs to get to the bottom of this. it can't include tony fauci investigating himself. >> laura: senator, do you have any faith that a bipartisan commission given the laws that have been put out there -- 500,000 dead and people are just looking the other way? >> we can't even get a hearing, but realize what they were studying in that lab they've admitted to was 15 times more deadly than the virus we are dealing with. covid-19 has about a 1% mortality, and that's a lot of people, but sars, the one from

2004, has a 50% mortality. and they were taking sars and juicing dope and making it more infectious to human airway cells. that is overly scary thing to do, particularly for the chinese communists who i don't think are the most trustworthy of partners. >> laura: and at least partly funded by the u.s. taxpayers. that is a scandal. senator, thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> thanks, laura. >> laura: and he founded the black lives matter chapter in st. paul, but now says that within a year he learned of the movement's true motives. up next, rashad turner is here to tell his story. you are not going to want to miss it. always busy. i was starting to feel a little foggy. just didn't feel like things were as sharp as i knew they once were. i heard about prevagen and then i started taking it about two years now. started noticing things a little sharper,

a little clearer. i feel like it's kept me on my game. i'm able to remember things. i'd say give it a try. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

♪ ♪ >> laura: for much of the last year, "the angle" warned you that the black lives matter was not only going to bring destruction into communities across the country, but that it wanted to destroy the nuclear family structure while lining their own pockets. thankfully, we are not the only ones who sell blm for what it really was. our next guest gives us an inside look at why he left the st. paul chapter of blm shortly after joining. >> after a year on the inside, i learned i had little concern for

rebuilding black families and cared even less for building education for students in minneapolis. that was made clear when they publicly denounced charter schools alongside the teachers union. >> overshot turner is now the executive director of the minnesota parent union and he joins us now. her shot, thank you so much for joining us. >> good evening, laura. >> laura: do you expect more bom members to come to the same conclusion that you have, especially on the schools issue? >> i am hoping so. when you look at the education gaps here in minnesota, black kids compared to white kids, and it just baffles me that black lives matter is a national organization is not taking a close look at the black minds that are being affected every day due to policies that teachers unions like education minnesota, their leader denise specht, put it into place.

i'm still very frustrated. it's hard to truly believe that people think that black lives bs matter if black minds don't matter. >> laura: they've made it abundantly clear about what her organization is really all about it. >> i'm going to said the record straight. am i a marxist? it's a philosophy i learned early on because the u.s. is so good at propaganda -- just the idea of the american dream. that's capitalism, wealth. it's much harder to sell communism. >> laura: were shot, much harder to sell communism. at the american is just a propaganda ploy? is that with black youths need to hear today? >> if we are think it about the american dream, you are not going to realize that american dream if you cannot read, right?

so she and other leaders like herself should be focused on the literacy rates instead of, you know, talking about this country being a propaganda machine. one of the things i want to point out to you, laura, is that when i hear things like that and i think about the fact that blm has been co-opted by the american federation of teachers, i think that's where those messages come from. blm has been co-opted and when i say co-opted, teachers unions who show up to these woke blm marches -- they have their signs, they might see the sign in the yard that says black lives matter, but monday through friday teachers unions are killing our children's hopes and dreams. so if we are talking about propaganda, we need to be looking at the teachers unions and the sickness they are putting out there that's keeping our children out of schools these past couple of years, keeping masks on our children. we need to unmask the illiteracy machine that is here in

minnesota with our education system. spew on the critical race theory in minnesota that is obviously taking hold -- how is that affecting the minds of black youth? >> will tell you this, i've been getting sort of beat up -- i want to shut up the patriots who have been supportive since this video has dropped. but i haven't seen an acronym come through our schools, whether at crt, abc def, you name it. none of those acronyms have led to more block children being able to read. if were talking about something critical, let's talk about critical we are a literacy theory. if black lives truly matter, teachers unions and the status quo left, the folks who claim to be woke, they need to be voting for the expansion of parent choice. they need to make quality education a civil right for our children. that is how they could show us that black lives truly matter.

spew on such a powerful video and a powerful message, thank yu for being here tonight. and it's not just blm that has been exposed, but also the media's incessant lies about the violence that that movement sewed. returning to portland to document their continued struggle against the violence. what took just one night for a suspected thug stage so the nt for nature -- define andy and send them to the hospital. joining me now, editor at large of the post-millennial, author of "unmasked." he is joining us from a undisclosed location. how are they able to find you and attack you so quickly? >> as you probably noticed about two years ago i was beaten badly when i was covering a public demonstration in downtown portland. but that didn't silence me, i continue to do my reporting.

at this particular time i was actually undercover fully in their uniform marching along with them. i think what gave it away it was they paid attention to the fact that i wasn't engaging in the criminal activities with them such as throwing projectiles at law enforcement or trying to damage the central police station. so they some people over to interrogate me and then they pulled off my mask and my goggles and shouted "that's him, get him, got him." and i walked from downtown portland in the middle of the street -- there was no police bear the fastest one in the mob caught up to me, tackled me, and repeatedly punched me on the back of my head and my face and i was pleading for mercy. he got distracted, i got up and ran into the nearest thing that was open, because most of the businesses in downtown portland are boarded up. when i got in, i pled with the

hotel securities and staff to call 911 and they told me that i needed to put on a mask and that i had to leave. >> laura: old, god. i want to show an image of someone you say assaulted you -- also reportedly yelled they were going to beat the [bleep] out of you you bleed. another reason we don't want the mask, you can't identify anyone committing acts of criminality. have you heard from the police? >> i have not heard back from a detective at all. which -- i have more than two dozen reports to police, death threats, people showing up at my family's home. that was the reason why i had to flee portland last year and the reason why i came back was to care for my elderly parents. you know, it's important for them to be on the ground to see.

a violent overthrow. >> armed insurrection, no matter what anybody says. >> an attempted coup on january 6th. >> attempting to overthrow a free and fair election. >> laura: what they want to tell you is that the fed's case against one of these so-called insurrectionist's is totally collapsed. just yesterday prosecutors announced they were dropping charges against a new york man over lack of evidence. it turns out that the confidential informant incorrectly idea to him as being in the building. chris, is this the beginning of a day luge of other cases that are going to be dropped? >> it seems like this, because the prosecutors have overreached pretty dramatically. i was at the riot, i had been at

protests over the last five years since donald trump was first elected. and this basically fit the mold for that, other than the huge symbolism we sow. and recovered at that night here talking about just the sad facts, not the politics. unfortunately the fbi, the department of justice, and especially the democrats and media have severely overreached on that. whether it's raiding houses in alaska are charging people who were trespassing. it looks like a majority of these people who were implicated in this are going to get away with trespassing charges. what's really embarrassing about this whole thing is how silence republicans have been. american citizens have been held in solitary confinement the entire time. it's wild. democrats like liz warren have ended up speaking up for them. >> laura: adam schiff knows the real threat to our democracy. >> the big lie didn't end on election day or thereafter. this incendiary nonsense has some people may believe.

this qanon crowd that metastasized online and it's a real threat. we had an insurrection here and we can't pretend that these things are no longer possible. >> laura: so matt, qanon is the real threat, not china. they made this virus in a lab and killed millions of people, let's not do that at all. >> we know democrats live in a fantasy world. they want us to join them in a fantasy world where men can get pregnant and white supremacy and cumin on are the greatest threat we face, second only to climate change. and also where january 6th was, may be worse than 9/11 -- an attempted coup. a coup is an organized attempt to overthrow the government. no honest person can looked at what happened on january 6th and say there was ever any chance of the government or even an attempt to actually overthrow the government. that is clearly not what happened.

and by the way, talk about rewriting history or rewriting what happened. the media and democrats, for months claimed that this was a deadly riot. five people were killed, they said, by rioters. and we know now it's been confirmed, long since confirmed that the only person killed by violence in the riots was ashley babbitt who is killed by a capitol police officer. that is the only one. and i don't see any of these people coming back around and saying hey, by the way, we got that wrong. of course they are not doing that. >> laura: i want to go back to what you said a few moments ago, which is that american citizens being held in solitary confinement -- and we don't really know the terms of all of this are the details of all of this, but we do have reports that a number of these people who were arrested because they got their photo center around were held and are still being held in solitary. and you are right, republicans are so afraid of january 6th,

which look, i was one of the first people to say that trump needed to get this place cleared right away. the failure to bring up civil liberties and the issue of civil liberties at this moment is -- i think it's a black mark on the republicans but they got to be standing up on this. >> you were one of the first to talk about it and you are absolutely right. the republicans are completely unwilling to deal with the issues that are going on here. and the obvious political persecution when they have been riots across this country -- none of what should be tolerated. all of which are very bad for law and order. no one has been held accountable. dozens of people were killed over the summer and some of the violent race riots this country saw. people not held accountable like this. the only person killed was shot by a police officer. no one else was killed despite the fact that that was hidden from us from a long time. republicans are silent and democrats in massachusetts are ready to set up for the spread not only that, but nancy pelosi

has invoked the memory of 9/11 which is very shameful for a commission that has unfettered access. absolutely wild. just be on one more question, the clinging to january 6th -- they cling to it like they cling to the mask, right? to systemic racism. why? why did they do that? because their policies don't deliver, correct? >> obviously it's politically convenient for them. we know that, they don't want to talk about the blm riots, but i think also another reason why they talk about this rather than the blm riots it down like is that this happened close to them and all of the people had theirs and businesses destroyed in cities across the country. >> laura: sorry to cut you off there, but we have the last bite of the next. you don't want to miss it. it would be cool to ride a horse on the moon.
