thanks for insight us into your home tonight. that's it for "special report" fair balanced and you and still unafraid. proximate result "fox news primetime" hosted by ben domenech starts right now. >> ben: i agree with bill mcgurn's sentiment but i don't think that headline is going to fit. bret: i don't think so. >> ben: good evening and welcome to "fox news primetime." ♪ ♪ >> ben: you've heard about the nazi book burning, the bans, the censorship, the oppressions of the third reich. have you seen the images, black and white footage of chanting believers, flames flying high they are images of evil and you know how they end. few people knew these book burnings weren't some big government crack down. look closer at those dark and grainy images that you have seen. most of the participants aren't social distancing or policemen,
4:01 pm
smiling, laughing young people. it was a fun time for them. they were on the right side of history, they thought. they were part of something bigger than themselves. they didn't know what what they were a part of would swallow every one of them by the time it was finished. few people remember that the book burnings of the german 1930s were led by student activists who started with their own campus libraries. they didn't want the books that challenged their delicate minds. a lot triggered our young little nazis when they ran out of campus libraries they came for the independent book stores. the government, happy to help, only came in later. does this sound familiar? they were the vanguard but the people in power did agree with them. if you were reading the "new york times" on april 7th, 1933, and that friday morning you flipped to page 11 you would see condensed in a few short paragraphs the news that the nazi government had banned parts of the old testament they didn't like. they were making moves to consolidate the protestant churches into a new state version of christianity complete
4:02 pm
with its own saints. they were starting a new religion. just below that a wire from the "new york times" berlin correspondent told of the monarchist newspaper warning that the catholic church would not be so easily rolled and german catholics would not abide the pope being replaced with a government minister. so the nazi government banned catholic publication in the country. mobs did the government's work for them. sometimes they dressed up in little uniforms. in their dress and their tactics they might stir recollections among a few people in portland who remember the saga of the independent bookstore powell's books which this winter had the audacity to feature reporter andy ngo's writing on the violence to setting their city at the hand of black clad thugs. the thugs threatened them for this and the bookstore was afraid. no one in portland was going to stand up for them. if you lived in portland, would you count on the police to protect you? the politicians make sure they can't. the bookstore was protested, covered in signed, forced to shut its doors early and
4:03 pm
threatened. so the owners folded to the mob. andy ngo who has been on this program wouldn't see his books on their shelves after all. if customers wanted it they could go online. this week ngo was nearly beaten to death again. no promise authorities acquiesce to the mob running their city. we always pretend to learn from our history and assume we are somehow more enlightened than our ancestors that they are evil. we are fit to make our own rules and own history to ban ideas. bangeorge washington and huck fn and dr. suess and those catholic teachings that inconvenience us. we are experts now. we have got this as george mcdonald wrote the one principle of hell is i am my own. the first thing tyrants do when they are in charge is ban speech. but not just any speech, they ban the speech that threatens them. often if a group that threatens them is powerful or influential, they will give them a chance to follow the rules, do the good
4:04 pm
thing. there is that right side of history. nazis wanted the church to stick to its own business. don't speak out on politics. don't meddle in things you don't understand. stay behind your pulpit, priest. let the you gin nist scientists the modern men deal with the things that matter. leave it to the experts. and if the leaders of the country wanted to openly reject church's teachings, who are you to speak up? in the book of ecclesiastes we read the warning what has been will be again. what has been done will be done again. there is nothing new under the sun. every day we see the signs of a new fanaticism in our country and the eagerness to join with the new movement. some of the daily devotions are absurd and laughable like msnbc's religious wearing two masks while you jog as a sign of your loyalty to the woke regime. some of the devotions are far more troubling like the banning of books exposing the transgender's real harm for troubled children or reporters staring at human catastrophe on
4:05 pm
our border with humans are controlled and raped by sprawling criminal gangs who turn around to the criminal cameras to lie to you about it and tell you they are just children being victimized by the mean american policemen. the ruling class doesn't need to do everything itself. they can pick at the peripherals and nod in agreement while the mob and the students, the corrupt corporate press and the tech oligarchs get their hands dirty. you are not allowed to talk about the wuhan lab leak until you are. the press and the oligarchs say. we have always been at war with east asia. the words of e.j. "accesser" a dead thing can go with the stream only a living thing can go against it and we're those stubborn americans who are alive and awake go against the current and new woke religion. the leftist oligarchs will use their power both government and dorpt crush them. so they will teach the new race hate to our students, our soldiers and our diplomats.
4:06 pm
they will mock the vatican for calling for clergy to hold sin to account for the sake of the sinner by flying the rainbow flag from their embassy. they will tell the hispanic and indigenous people suffering in guatemala that their problems stem from racism against african-americans and lgbtqbias. we are a free people because we understand where our rights come from. as george washington said in his farewell address. reason and experience both forbid us to expect the national more rattle can prevail on exclusion of religious principle. this isn't it. it's essential. without faith we collapse as a people and as a country. the left comes for religious americans not because they want to abolish religion, but because they want to replace it with race politics, with sign tim and sciencism agenda pile bibles
4:07 pm
high and turn them into ash. and, yet, the light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it. it won't. it can't. and we, as free americans, will make sure it never does. i'm ben domenech and this is the american crisis. ♪ joining me now sohrab ahmari the "new york post" op-ed editor and author of the unbroken thread. sohrab, thanks so much for coming on. >> thanks for having me, ben. >> ben: it seems to me much of what you write about in your book is trying to teach us these lessons about history, about faith, trying to draw them in and help us understand them in this moment where so many seem eager not just to forget them but to sweep them away. what can we do as americans to try to restore what has been a central feature of american life and a guiding force within our history? >> i think the first thing we have to do is recognize reality
4:08 pm
as you just laid it out, ben, that things are very bad. and we need to stop pretending like the fact that the censorship, the corporate tyranny, the big tech tyranny and the other thing that you laid out are just things that happen on twitter and won't come for me if i just stick to my own business. and that relation will go a long way toward helping us at least grapple with reality as it really is i always tell people look around you. things are bad. it is an american crisis as you say. it might take a long time to get us out of it, but at least if you recognize that things are bad, we can act. if we lull ourselves into sleep, and complacency, they will win. >> ben: the essential nature of america has been that we have gone through many of these times when difficult things challenge us, face us, but then you would see an awakening of people who
4:09 pm
across the country would join together in order to push back against either the villainy that was being projected by government or through various aspects of society. i saw that footage as i'm sure you have seen of this teacher who joined us the other night from loud down county, you know, saying that he can't abide by the transagenda in schools because of his faith. and it stood out to me because he made that argument. he didn't try to make it a secular argument. he made it something about the importance of his faith. what can we do to make sure that that kind of nature of an awakening spreads and that he is not just a lone martyr for the cause? >> well, ben, you and i have talked about big tech a lot. the first thing we need to do is to be able to at least speak the truth. whether we come at the truth about gender from genesis or whether we come at the truth about gender from genetics, they both agree that gender cannot be changed and there are two sexes
4:10 pm
and they are mutable. genetics and genesis agree with each other on this count. if mark zuckerberg and jack dorsey and a few unelected silicon valley billionaires can silence a newspaper like the one i work for, the "new york post," then the ordinary american will stay silent. this is the kind of thing that i think yes it takes individual courage but it also requires political action, serious political action like the kind that a few serious g.o.p. lawmakers are doing and talking about the very few others are willing to do. which is we have to restrain corporate tyranny, our founders were very alert to public tyranny and that's a good thing. governmental tyranny. again, as you laid out in the monologue and as we have seen especially over the past year or so, there is also such a thing as private tyranny, that's the tyranny of corporations that have been allowed to grow far too powerful in regulating not just what we can say but literally what we see and think. and so if that teacher feels
4:11 pm
alone and isolated, and that pastor over there and priest over here, they can be drowned out. it requires collective political action to tame this private sir rein that's dawning on us. >> ben: i have used this with you but one that comes to mind using the example of south american engineer multilingual speaks all these languages generally left of center economic yet holds the traditional perspectives on sex and gender, whether he could actually work at facebook. county pope work at facebook today? that seems to be the core question that we face and if the answer is no it tells us something about big tech and their nature. thank you so much for taking the time to join me this evening. >> thank you. >> ben: coming up next, kevin mccarthy on the new congressional investigation into how american tax dollars ended up funding china's wuhan lab.

like many people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease, i was there. be right back. but my symptoms were keeping me from where i needed to be. so i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for people with uc or crohn's disease. and humira helps people achieve remission that can last, so you can experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection.
4:16 pm
be there for you and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. wanna help kids get their homework done? ask your gastroenterologist about humira. well, an internet connection's a good start. but kids also need computers. and sometimes the hardest thing about homework is finding a place to do it. so why not hook community centers up with wifi? for kids like us, and all the amazing things we're gonna learn. over the next 10 years, comcast is committing $1 billion to reach 50 million low-income americans with the tools and resources they need to be ready for anything. i hope you're ready. 'cause we are.
4:17 pm
♪ >> ben: slowly but surely the fog surrounding the true origins of covid-19 is dissipating. pretty clarett virus likely started in china's wuhan lab. also clear american tax dollars were indirectly funneled to fund its research. now house republicans are launching a probe into the department of health and human services into its failure to review into the lab. joining me now house minority leader kevin mccarthy. thank you for joining me leader mccarthy. >> thank you for having me on. excellent opening by the way, too. >> ben: thank you, i appreciate it i know that this is a situation where the opposite party just wants to move on.
4:18 pm
they don't want to really get into this. they don't really want to learn more about this. to me, this is something that should not be a mono partisan affair. it should be something that everyone is interested to getting to the bottom of. why do you think that the white house is going to have this attitude towards of being reluctantly pulled into investigating it as opposed to the going full steam ahead and forcing china to answer a lot of the questions that still remain? >> well, we are hearing now that people in the state department were actually threatened if they asked these questions. we will never fully recover if we do not rebuild and get the answers from them. ben, you understand democrats, you've got movie stars. you've got the nba. have you big tech. have you mainstream media they all trust china. republicans know the truth. these democrats were so desperate to disagree with donald trump they ignored the truth. let me give you a little personal experience. i spent 8 months communicating
4:19 pm
with the democrat leadership to create a china task force bipartisan equal number of part republicans, equal number of democrats. they finally agreed. we locked it down. we even had "the washington post" interview come in about to announce it and they pulled back. do you know why? they felt that may give a benefit to donald trump because of what was happening with covid. now it all seems to come to fruition. why were they so afraid? they put politics before the lives of american citizens. we have to know the truth to this. we have to know why it started. and whys the first action of this president biden to put money back into the world health organization with no penalties whatsoever. after they lied and were controlled by china. and he put it in his budget that he just give congress. >> ben: we have seen time and again the situation where if the only way to get truth out of china is if people come forward and they either disappeared or they're pulled back, they are forced to recant and so in this
4:20 pm
context. i mean, we should honestly, i believe, have a footing that basically treats china more like we would have treated the soviet union that we shouldn't trust what they are saying. that we need to verify it and that the whole world is owed that kind of answer. i can't really trust that the w.h.o. is going to be able to give it to us. what can be done to ensure that we actually get those answers? >> >> w.h.o. before joe biden wants to. do we forget what happened in tiananmen square 30 years ago when they rolled the tanks in to the young man standing in front of it? does anyone know his name or whether he is even alive today? do we forget what happened in hong kong while others stood out and all they were requesting were free speech. you cannot trust china. soviet union trust but verify we cannot trust them they just killed millions of people around this world. why did they send international flights but stopped domestic flights?
4:21 pm
why did they influence individuals? why did they threaten australia when australia wants to find out where did covid start and they said that would be the first country they hit with a missile. the rest of the world needs to stand up and america and especially in congress we should be the very first and we should be locked hand in hand that should not be a question about republicans though thousands of americans died from covid, how many lives could have been stopped if we would have went after and found out from the very beginning where this originated, what were the facts and the world health organization influenced by china didn't lie to the world. >> ben: you know quickly, leader mccarthy, i just hope that you will continue to hold people's feet to the fire on this because it seems to me that this is more than just arch answer that satisfies a political issue. it's about the long-term prospect of something like this happening again. coming out of china again which we cannot allow. thank you so much for joining me tonight. >> thank you, ben.
4:22 pm
>> ben: if the release of dr. anthony fauci's emails prove anything, it's that the media and general public placed far too much trust in its every word take for instance his continued flip-flopping on masks in february of 2020 a colleague asked him whether she shred should are wear one on domestic flight. fauci said she would be fine without one. few weeks later the covid fantastic torres played a total about face and the masking of america began. of course when confronted about this contradiction on cnn this morning he said this. >> if we knew then that the data show that masks outside of a hospital setting are actually do work, when we didn't know it then, if we realize all of those things back then, of course you are asking the question would you have done something different if you know what you know now? of course people would have done that. that's so obvious. >> ben: good doctor also got defensive when asked about the conspiracy email we brought to
4:23 pm
you last night from nih director francis collins. >> do you remember the email? >> john, they only took about 10,000 emails from me. of course i remember -- i remember all 10,000 of them. give me a break. i don't remember what's in that redacted but i mean, the idea, i think, is quite far-fetched that the chinese deliberately engineered something so that they could kill themselves as well as other people? i think that is a bit far out, john. >> ben: joining me now to react mark meadows former white house chief of staff and senior partner at the conservative partnership institute. thanks so much for coming on tonight. >> well, wynn, it's great to be with you and the viewers. the interesting thing here tonight though is that you hear dr. fauci trying to change the narrative. >> ben: yes. >> listen, this is not just about what happened in wuhan lab. this is what actually happened
4:24 pm
with dr. fauci in the early days of this -- the coronavirus outbreak. and what we know is whether it's on masks, whether it's on how this started, whether it is on how we needed to mitigate the damages. dr. fauci flip-flopping. there is more flip-flops on dr. fauci then you will find on a north carolina beach in july. >> ben: i find it interesting just in that brief clip there, dr. fauci was misrepresenting what that email was about. it was about bret baier's reporting concerning the prospect that many officials in the government believed that it came from a lab. it was not saying that it was engineered as a weapon to kill people in community. that was not the claim being advanced. even in that instance he wasn't being honest to his audience why does this guy still have a job? why are we still paying him? >> well, listen, you are spot on with pointing that out. the interesting thing is you remember when secretary pompeo and president trump both said
4:25 pm
that they believed that there was credible information that suggested this started in the lab. it was dr. fauci that came running out shortly after that and said oh, no, no, no; this had evolutionary process where it went from bats to humans. he based that not based on any evidence that he read, he baled that knowing that he had had emails to suggest the other and so, listen will we can chalk up some things to mistakes because we were learning things in realtime early on cover-up that continues to happen even on the shows today it's time for the biden administration and dr. fauci to be transparent and let's go ahead and get to the bottom of it and let's have congressional hearings but, more importantly than that, let's start to look at all the things that dr. fauci has said under oath and make sure that those
4:26 pm
are accurate as well. >> ben: i know that you were in the white house experiencing this and seeing it firsthand and to me one thing i don't want us to lose sight of is how much the media built up dr. fauci as being this unquestionable oracle of truth who could not be in any way disagreed with by people like scott atlas, for instance, without it becoming some kind of national scandal or representation that it was antiscientific behavior. instead, when we look back at this email record, a ton of uncertainty from him. we see exactly why we ought to have been raising these questions. what can we learn from this experience about not putting so much faith in lone bureaucrats in the future or letting the media turn them into vaunted saints? >> listen, this was a rush to contradict anything that president trump said. the information that he put out. if dr. fauci had an opposing view. it got highlighted, it got multiplied and really to exponential proportions.
4:27 pm
here is what we can learn. when you have something that is new, you need to explore all the reasons and all the evidence that is behind it. not make declaratory statements that are not based on any real evidence. we also need to understand is that you can't trust china ton transparent. they weren't trustworthy in january. they weren't trustworthy in february or any month that followed that with the outbreak of this. and, yet, what we're doing is rewarding them by sending them hardworking american taxpayer dollars. we're rewarding them by rejoining the w.h.o. and ultimately will we get transparency from china? absolutely not. will we get accountability from biden? no we will not. >> ben: mark meadows thank you for taking the time to join me this evening. i certainly agree we cannot trust china in this respect or any other. >> good to be with you. thanks so much. >> ben: coming up next, shelby

4:34 pm
and in my view unamerican idea. what can be done to push back against this and how can parents stand up in their communities where they see critical race theory being something that is now part of the curriculums to indoctrinate their young children? >> well, i think they have to begin with the understanding that critical race theory is a device designed to capture white guilt. it has no other meaning, no other purpose, no other function than that. it wants to capture, to once again accuse whites of racism. you look at the language, systemic racism. structural racism, racism is not just an isolated incident. it's a structural systemic society wide problem and to the extent of its breadth, it owes us as blacks entitlement. entitlements of all kind jobs,
4:35 pm
as you mentioned every american institution is now under pressure to observe critical race theory in some way or other which means basically give things to blacks as a way of moving them ahead in society. >> ben: one of the things -- >> what bothers me most is that the whites -- we have been doing this now for 70 years whites still don't get the point. you are being had. you are being shaken down over a history that you had nothing to do with. >> ben: it seems to me, shelby -- >> -- there has to be some standing up there. >> ben: it seems to me shelby, one of the big elements of this, too, this is not a priority when we look at the polling data among most black americans, among most hispanic americans or asian americans. instead, it's the priority base of white leftists and particularly the further left you are the bigger it's a
4:36 pm
priority. that, to me, seems to ignore all the actual challenges that exist within the black and hispanic communities in america. >> well, racism is the great power source of the far left. black, white, and otherwise. they can call that due. they can bring that up. and again, people -- the way that white guilt manifests itself is that whites always want a way to show deference to blacks. to other -- to my other minorities. deference is power. and so if i'm coke. i'm going to defer to black suffering and i'm going to it work with companies that only 30% of which now will have to be black. well, that's a lot of power. and it is extremely dangerous.
4:37 pm
it's trans -- it's already transformed higher education. it's busy transforming education from k forward from kindergarten forward. it is enormously powerful and, yet, there is no resistance. >> ben: yeah. >> there is in resistance because whites remain afraid of being seen as racist. weapon ben you have to have people who will resist and conquer that fear. shelby steele, thanks so much for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >> ben: in the past month we have seen a surge in anti-semitism across america. some might conclude that the conflict between israel and palestine is the root cause. if you check twitter the folks at vioxx can't seem to figure it out. they posted this headline violent semitism spiked during the israel, hamas war and we don't know why. here now congresswoman maria sal czar five time emmy award-winning journalist, former war correspondent and member of
4:38 pm
the foreign house subcommittee on the middle east. thanks for coming on tonight, congresswoman. >> thanks so much for the invitation. >> ben: i want to talk about the challenges have you seen when it comes to anti-semitism and violence on the rise. what can be done to combat this and what are you seeing in your own communities. >> now that you are -- yes, thanks for the invitation. specifically, you know, i represent district number 27 that includes miami beach, miami beach holds the second largest jewish community in the united states. and right now with the holocaust memorial we're having an event with thousands of people that are denouncing specifically what you just said. the anti-semitism that is rising in this. vox may not have the answer but i know what it is. socialism. i know you were talking about your previous guest about this issue. we have an immense problem in this country with this democratic socialism that some
4:39 pm
people within the democratic party are pedal ling to our youth. when you say socialism, you are talking about anti-semitism in the same phrase. if you see it iran, venezuela, north korea, everybody that is a socialist or a communist is anti-jew. and i'm not -- at least in my reason i co-sponsored with leader mccarthy, the leader of the g.o.p. the preventing anti-semitic hate crimes act. what we are calling is that we need to put the full force of the law on those perpetrators. those people that hate and that want to act upon their fields. >> ben: i hear from jewish friends across the country and i'm sure do you in your community as well. challenges both large and small that they are increasingly. they feel like something has changed. i'm very concerned that support for israel is going to become a mono partisan affair in america instead of what traditionally
4:40 pm
has been a bipartisan affair and that you are going to see consequences for jewish americans because of that. what can be done to try to bring along many of your fellow members on the opposite side of the aisle to make sure that that doesn't happen? >> and i agree with you and that's why i'm one of those voices within the g.o.p. telling my colleagues on the democratic side that israel is the only bastion of democracy in that dessert of some arab countries that are friendly to them. we are talking about 350 million arabs and most of them are not very friendly with israel. we are talking about a community that has developed since 1948 and although we understand that the palestinians do have a right and by the way, for palestinians they have been hijacked by hamas. they are hostages of this terrorist organization that claims to be representing the average palestinian but the average palestinian doesn't
4:41 pm

including gabe who says working for amazon alienating experience and employees are treated like robots. writer at the federalist along with congressman ro khanna whose congressional district includes silicon valley. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> gabe, i want to start with you. tell us a little bit about what was alienating about working for amazon. >> i was an vietnam prime shopper as the whole foods grocery store. you know, i essentially showed up to orientation expecting at least some degree of maybe a supervisor or someone to really walk me through sort of a very basic position which entails packing groceries that delivery drivers would eventually pick up and essentially i got to orientation and i was -- there was really no one to walk me through the experience. you know, it was sort of the entire job through a work phone.
4:48 pm
and it was really a glimpse into the job as there was really no one to walk us through how we would do the position. >> ben: congressman ro khanna, one of the things i think we talk about a lot when it comes to amazon on both sides of the political aisle is its power in terms of market impact. during the pandemic though we also seen it become one of the places that really thrived and so one of the questions that i have for you is aren't there other negative outcomes that we have going on today with a lot of these entities that are frankly, despite their propaganda, pushing out small businesses, preventing them from being able to have success and the like? >> well, i think we are seeing a great divergence. i mean, you have in my district a market tap of $10 trillion. a lot of small businesses, a lot of communities aren't participating in modern well generation. i thought gabe brought a very inspiring piece where workers have basically become
4:49 pm
accessories to robots. i'm all for technological advances going to lead to productivity where it's going to help benefit the american people but we should not use technology as a tool to grab power away from workers to management and dehumanize the workplace. and we need regulation that would prevent companies from doing this. >> ben: one of the things that i think you experienced gabe was basically just the atomization affect of working at amazon it often escapes the debate, there are negative consequences for that in terms of just an ability to relate to each other as human beings within a workplace, aren't there? >> yeah. ben. i think people, you know, they like to be with one another. i think the workplace there is no secret that a job, the point of a job is certainly to get paid. but i think there are other aspects of a job such as building a community within an area and really building those relationships with your supervisor, your fellow
4:50 pm
colleagues. and certainly places, you know, with this big business that come into these communities and they sort of just break up and don't allow people in areas to really build those relationships with people, you know, in those areas. >> ben: congressman, quickly, i feel like one of the other elements that we have to appreciate is that there doesn't seem to be one easy answer on this. people want the convenience of amazon. they want the ability to have things show up within a day or two. at the same time, there can be some negative consequences that come with it but i feel like we don't really weigh in our country today. >> i think you are absolutely right. this is why we need nuanced policies. it's great that there are rural communities, under served communities that now can have access to products that they may never have had. so we don't want to wholesale reject the innovation economy. and the fact that we are having conversations over face time or skype is creating new communities.
4:51 pm
but we have to make sure that workers aren't exploited, are that workers still have the opportunity to organize and the congress has been asleep, really we need bipartisan smart innovation that doesn't hurt innovation. gabe's piece makes a way of getting there. >> ben: thank you so much for taking the time to join me tonight. >> thank you. >> ben: coming up next, a comedian censored by big tech after daring to impersonate the great saint anthony fauci. ♪ ♪

disinformation because you're impression is so good, people might confuse it with the real thing. >> right. yeah. it was taken down from tik tok for a week or two from breaking community guidelines. that can be anything. if somebody becomes aroused by watching a tik tok, it's considered offensive. it can be removed. so people started speaking out. got some press on it. i woke up one day and the video was back up. >> i certainly hope that in having such a refined impression of fauci that you have continued success though you may have to move on soon to find someone else. i'm a little worried about the last news cycle that you might be taking a back seat going forward. tyler -- >> i was doing biden, but nobody could understand what i was saying, so i -- >> you can find tyler fisher at
