episode. check them all out and put link that is all the time we have left for this week. budget. please set your dvr. never miss an episode. in the meantime, let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham takes you home this body night. ♪ ♪ >> laura: i am laura ingraham. now, before we begin, i want to summarize what has been a blockbuster week. we learned a great deal about. country. this week, we have established the following fact. >> one, last night we heard a former u.s. secretary of state who also attended the cia tell us that when the trump administration try to learn the truth about the origins of covid, faced opposition from thr staff. >> we overcame lots of internal

bureaucracy. lots of internal debate from nih folks who were trying to suppress but we were doing. we work to get the intelligence community to declassified more. there were folks who did not want the world to note that the chinese commonest party -- >> why? >> laura: he did not want to answer that. fact two we saw e-mails from drs born about the possibility that this virus link from a ccp controlled lab. rather than trying to get to the truth about what had happened, he provided political cover for the ccp. while maintaining close relations with his colleagues in china. lesson, secretary pompeo let him have it. >> he employs good faith for that chinese communist party that laura. we are at that university of tiananmen square. does dr. fauci think that the

chinese government cares? >> laura: we know beyond any doubt that the wuhan lab where this virus may have been developed was funded in part by your tax money. that lab was conducting experiments that make diseases more pathogenic. we were helping to pay for it. these effects show that our government paid for with our money, apparently more concerned about helping the ccp than it is about protecting our own national interest. this is absolutely intolerable. let us be very clear. we know the ccp is the evil dictatorship that wants to destroy freedom everywhere on earth, including the u.s. it murders and imprisons innocent people every day. it is committing agenda set against the uyghurs. it has support from high-ranking

u.s. officials nonetheless. we have one you already that many of our elites including in our media, big tech companies, hollywood, top universities, celebrities, have acted as if ccp's ally. and now we know that the ccp's power it reaches into our own government. are no our country has disagreements. that is fun. but can't wait not come together to ensure that our government is free from the taint of ccp influence? can any american honestly say that it is good for our top officials to care more about protecting the repetitions of their friends and chan -- in china think about telling the truth to the american people? going forward, every member of congress, i don't care what political party you represent, it must be vigilant to ensure that never again does an americn secretary of state have to wonder about whether his own people are interested in telling the truth about china? this won't be an easy task.

after this week, we have no choice but to take it on. joining me now is mark meadows, former trump white house chief of staff. and fox news contributor. marco victoria apartment in hong kong was empty. -- park in hong kong was empty. i kept thinking all day long when i saw that story that this is the nation where making common cause with -- we are making common cause with and giving them the benefit of the doubt on the origins of this virus. >> when you give china the benefit of the doubt, but we will see ultimately is not only they have not been transparent. they have actually put out false information. we knew that early on in the trump administration as we were trying to battle with this. that the numbers they were reporting the transparency they offered was not transparency.

in fact, if anything, they kept a number of investigators from actually going and to find out the root causes of this. i think the troubling thing is some of the things that we talked about in your opening monologue was the fact that dr. fauci in real time was getting information that not only he was not sharing with the task force. he was not sharing broadly. if anything, when president trump came out and said he believed that the virus started or had the potential of starting in a lab, was dr. fauci back in april and may of 2020 who said, oh, that, not have happened. now he has an open mind? it is about 11 months too late. >> laura: now approaching, seems like he is trying to save face when it comes to the trust he put in china, at what he back in january, february 2020. he told the financial times, i would like to see the medical records of the three people who have gotten sick.

what did they get sick with? i interviewed him in every 2020 and he said, they have been good partners. i'm paraphrasing. good partners. we don't have a reason to not believe them. now he is saying, we need this information. we knew these people were sick for over a year. >> laura: yeah, that has been public information for quite a while. i think a lot of sensible people said, you got to look at the lab. it makes perfect sense. i think for dr. fauci, he is somebody i worked with during the anthrax attacks. i respect him. i think he is trying to have it all ways. he is knocking down the theory that it could have come from a lab. he willed it out. he is shifting along with it to some degree. reverse the situation. let's just say that this came from america and that it came from some work in city where we

had a biological military lab. don't you think all the american media would demand to know what the lab was doing? were they conducting any kind of research? of course they will. the hammering of the american press, american institutions. it would have been profound. they did not do it to china. >> laura: even after everything we learned this week, biden, of course, is still standing behind county. >> reporter: -- dr. fauci? >> president biden: yes, i'm very confident in dr. fauci. >> laura: he knew that this lab was a problem, could have been a big problem back in january of 2020? he knew this risky research was happening. he knew that. >> i think probably the bigger problem is not only did he know that it was being funded but when we start to see some of these e-mails and i have had

some of our team going through it. i know that congressman jim jordan and his staff are looking not only at the e-mails but really what they implicate and go further. it was the lack of transparency and almost a friendly relationship between dr. fauci and his colleagues in china that, some of that real critical information from coming forth so that the media could do its job. here is the other part of that. you are willing to cover this. a lot of people are already running to dr. fauci's defense instead of analyzing these e-mails in a way that they should recruit they start to say could look at what does this mean? i can tell you what it means. image that american texture dollars are going to a lab in china that president trump had, but cut off, it did cut off. >> laura: and the media has a big role in all of this. they are curious here. john avlon spoke out. watch. >> we can see the danger that

can come from politicizing a pandemic. that is why we can't afford to politicize the investigation. >> laura: now he is worried about politicizing the investigation? when we have millions dead around the world but how about that? >> especially this one. i worked with him 20 years ago on the anthrax attacks. he earned my respect back then. look, i think in every bureaucracy, one of the worst tendencies. you have seen that at the state department. there is a tendency to say, we don't want to raise these issues because if it is true, will beep so, lemon nestlé bad would rather not deal with it. and blowing the whistle and forcing the issue to confront china despite hurdles they face in the bureaucracies as well as in the media and on social media, facebook banning you if you raise the possibility and

talk about china's culpability at that lab. now, thank goodness this story is getting retold. people need to focus on probably the greatest story any of us have been through. >> laura: great to see both of you and have important analysis tonight. as fauci, crumbles, so, too, does the economy. 559,000 jobs were created last month is another big mythopoeic. >> president biden: the estimate of the growing economy from the bottom up. it is testament to put the new strategy that is growing this economy right from the bottom up. these numbers show we are on the right track. we still have a long way to go. we are on the right track. our plan is working. we are not going to let up now. >> laura: wait a second. are you following all of that? we are on the right track?

it is so limp that at this rate, we won't be back to pre-pandemic implement until at least 2023. on top adept, biden's own budget plan predict that annual growth will be 2% or less for the next decade. joining me now is the host of [indistinct] on fox business. maria, great to see you. turns out that massive government spending and of course, impending inflation, with everything pretty much, is that a great way to get an economy going again? >> reporter: it really is not, laura. and two major things come out of this massive spending and tax increase plan and that is number one, inflation and number two, expectations of much sharper lower growth after the sugar high that we see as a result of

all of the spending. the numbers for the month of may were fine. we saw job growth. the recovery is continuing. but the recovery is slowing down. and the pace of job growth has slowed down considerably because of all of the money that has grown at this economy. this is self-inflicted. there's no doubt about it. the one thing that is written all over this jobs report is policy. bad policy equals bad outcomes. the fact that you are seeing weaker than expect a job gratian is because there are so many people out there who don't want to go back to work. these people are not lazy. they are practical. if you are getting money from the government, $300 extended unemployment, $300 trial -- childcare, you got a side gig here, who needs to leave the house? or the schedule that you were dealing with. that is why these numbers are weaker than expected. that is why respects to siena, economy slow down.

it is because there are unintended consequences of $6 trillion in four months. >> laura: "the new york times" is downplaying the economic growth projections. and it looks like that they say it has been increasingly clear that it is harder than it once seems put the possibility of adding a million jobs a month within -- not a lot of time ago. now it seems like wishful thinking. >> it was wishful thinking. we were expecting 1 million jobs. the covert economists that were above 1 million jobs. we are probably going to get a clear read of where we really are next month. that is written we will -- when we went model in the 25 states that have said no more extended unemployment benefits. there is a recent they are saying, we don't want this extra

money anymore. this massive budget is going to come with much -- you're talking about six tran10 dollar budget and a capital gains tax -- 6 trillion-dollar budget and a capital gains tax. >> laura: yeah. beyond what we are seeing. >> the most important thing for president biden is to get out of the way. the economy is growing very nicely. >> laura: when they knew they were going to extend of these unemployment benefits, they never should have been promising this big job bonanza that was just kind of a light. that was a misrepresentation from day one. >> the problem is it's not really d and to. it is the ideology that we should just give free stuff away. it is not just the $300 and extended unemployment. it is the 300 in childcare.

it is the expansion of food stamps. the expansion of so many benefits that has people thinking, you know what? i'm not ready yet. i have had this last year at home with my kids. and by the way, a lot of women are still at home because they have to take care of their children because schools are not open. that is going to be the case throughout the summer. until we actually see things return to normal and an economy moving on its own, schools open, kids not at home anymore. you are not going to see the true strength of this economy. that is a key point is will. women left the workforce in droves as a result of this pandemic and the fact that they got to be home for their kids. >> laura: thanks, maria. maria has senator ted cruz and secretary pompeo on this week. up next, why they knew the challenge fauci -- to challenge

fauci from the start. you don't want to miss it, next.

>> laura: for over a year it is hard to believe that the "the ingraham angle" medicine cabinet made up of some of the smartest scientific minds in the country has provided invaluable insights into the covid pandemic. optum, challenging directives and assumptions made by none

other than dr. fauci himself. i'm talking about masks, social distancing, the wisdom of vaccinating kids. the preventative treatments that we were talking about. it was not until this week with the release of thousands of dr. fauci's e-mails that others started to catch on to what we warning about all along, namely how dangerous it is to give one unelected official so much power over u.s. policy during a crisis. let's bring in some of the effort mentioned members of her medicine cabinet. dr. dave hnida tarrio. and dr. rich and dr. peter mccullough. gentlemen, let's start first with dr. rich because you say that the lies and deceit reveal the -- revealed in these evils can be essentially extrapolated to the doctor's rejection of the

drug hydroxychloroquine. how costly could that smearing of that drug have been? >> we know that the problem that was pointed out, reasons to not use hydroxychloroquine, were all fraudulent. and the point that i'm making in this is that if there's a reason not to trust dr. fauci for things that he said on lots of other things, that is recent to take what he said about hydroxychloroquine not seriously because it is part and parcel of the campaign to delegitimize it in the first place. hydroxy quark when used with the vitamin d antibiotics, aspirin or other medications in the regiment of dr. mccullough is good for prevention of that outcomes on the order of at least three quarters to 85% or

better. we know that we are talking about 455 lives that were lost unnecessarily. >> laura: finally kept studies published. and hundreds of patients work in collaboration with others. the data is showing that at high doses of hydroxy, absolutely prevented serious illness and the percentage was phenomenally high. this is another renowned physician treating covid patients. dr. bhattacharya, one of the e-mails revealed the hypocrisy on the mask issue. here's how he spun it. >> you modify and adjust your opinion. we knew pectin that a substantial amount of transmission was a symptom medic people. if we knew than that the data

show that masks outside of the hospital setting are actually working. when we did not know it then. of course people would have done that. that is so obvious. >> laura: okay. i'm not a medical doctor. but that did not make sense, dr. he says he changes his mind with the facts change. -- one the facts change. did the facts actually change onto kind of mask you buy in the store and covid-19? if you are an asymptomatic person? >> it did not change 800 he has been all over the place on masks. there are e-mails where he acknowledges that the virus is aerosolized. the cloth masks are really effective against the viruses. i don't really understand his back and forth and his answer

made no sense. you should change your mind when the seismic changes. what convinced him that masks are the most effective way? pretty much the cdc director, robert bradfield, said masks were more affected -- effective than vaccines. i mean, i think his credibility is entirely shot. >> laura: and he is also chastising states that have not met his self-determined vaccine goals. watch. >> if you have a height percentage of people vaccinated, you are not going to see a substantial blip my concern is in -- state in which you have relatively few compared to others people vaccinated. when you are below 50% of the people being vaccinated. that is when you are going to have a problem. >> laura: dr. mccullough, he still essentially is denying

that reality of naturally acquired immunity not factoring any of that in and the possibility of i think one or two of you may have said much ago that we are very close to or perhaps in some parts of the country already have herd immunity. correct? >> that is correct. identified in the texas senate march 10th that we are already at 80% herd immunity. i used standard cdc equations. we know that patients that seek vaccination have a less than 1% chance of coming in contact with covid-19. even if they got a placebo. we knew from the trials. that was back when the ambient density of the virus in the community it was much higher. it is impossible for the vaccine to make an impact on the curves. >> laura: dr. risch, president biden is very worried these days not about work with the virus started or how it started. but he had a warning that states are going to be divided along

new lines. watch. >> president biden: i was elected to be president and vice president for all americans. i don't want to see a country that is already too divided be divided in a new way, between places where people live free from covid and places where the fall arrives, death returns. >> laura: it almost seems like -- it is hard to decipher what biden is saying. that he is length of groundwork for some type of mandate for vaccines in certain cases? >> it is more fearmongering from what i can tell. going into this fall, we are going to have a huge amount of the publishing immune to current strains that are circulating in the united states. whereas last fall, last spring, very few people that were naturally even before the pandemic hit. it is a totally different context. we won't have any major

outbreaks like what happened last year. no matter what happens, is likely we will have a major outbreak. >> laura: dr. bhattacharya, i noticed caught your eye. one of fauci's e-mails was where he claimed that the covid mortality rate was about 2% and that for the flu, was .1%. that covid that's great! turned out to be way off, correct? >> he made a rookie mistake. he conflated the case rate with the -- many, many more times where people with infectious of covid were caught, especially back then. the 2% number is way higher than what is actually true for covid. the worldwide infection fatality and in the u.s., maybe just a

smidge higher. nowhere near, 2%. it is just an enormous mistake. i think it is really unfortunate that we have this person who did not have the expertise to lead the response. >> laura: by the way, dr. fauci is, again, his credibility, we are talking about that. he is pushing, pushing, pushing this idea of vaccines on younger kids and hoping they are going to be ready by the end of this year. watch. >> if you are a parent of a 12-year-old, how hopeful should you be that they will, a vaccine dose before thanksgiving? >> we hope that as we approach the end of this challenging year, we will have enough information to vaccinate children of any age. >> is this needed? >> no, is not. the registration of trout for ages 12 and 15 of the pfizer

vaccine, they have vaccinated 2300 children and they presented 18 cases of basically the sniffles. the court were no significant illness. it came at a great cosmic 60 to 80% of the kids got very sick. high fevers, body aches, nausea, vomiting. the parents were scrambling to get tylenol. children do not have a risk-benefit ratio that is going to favorite vaccinations. >> laura: hunter barco soriot, -- dr. bhattacharya, one other e-mail, dr. fauci admits in an exchange what you all know that because this is an rna virus, the immunity that you get when you are exposed last quite a long time. that has kind of gone out the window. what happened to that fauci?

talking about t-cell immunity. >> that struck me reading a lot of these the most part in the early days of the epidemic that he was quite a sensible person. he understood the necessity of not panicking the publishing. something happened in late february where he just flipped on a dime. it was not the science changing. something else happened where he just change. the immunity thing is quite important, laura. a lot of states are adopting these, you have to have a vaccine to access normal life. summit recovering from covid, they have long-lasting immunity. why should they be discriminated against? >> laura: i can't think of a better way to spend friday night that with you guys. thanks so much. coming up, is there a mystery buried in the ground? raymond arroyo is up next. i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media

for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. go with simparica trio it's triple protection made simple! simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable that covers heartworm disease, ticks and fleas, round and hookworms. dogs get triple protection in just one simparica trio! this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures. use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio.

>> laura: it is friday, and it means it's time for friday follies. we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. i cannot help but notice that the state department is going all out to celebrate pride month. >> raymond: that is correct. the u.s. embassy celebrate pride month with the pride flag on display during the month of june. i was a little confused by all of this not that the state department decided to flood the flight but that the u.s. embassy to the vatican made the decision to do so. the point the point of diplomacy is to find common ground, not inflame sensitivity or complex. -- conflict. i'm sure they are not flying the pride flag in saudi arabia or iraq. why did they feel comfortable flying it in the vatican? >> laura: i think we should be

flying the controversial think of the old red, white, and blue. one flag. >> raymond: the pulp is doing on the messaging of his own in his monthly. and a vigil the other day, he urged the people to pray for men and women preparing for marriage throughout the month of june. he noted that marriage is more than a social act and jesus accompanies the bride and groom. >> laura: conservative catholics, having faith in old francis who gave us an old shot in the arm. >> raymond: he has always been very direct on this issue. now, i want to turn to a new segment that we have been working on. >> laura: all right. okay. wait, raymond, now to celebrities. they are trying their hand at embarrassment which brings up to this week's edition of stupid

celebrity tricks. this is the inaugural segment. and the queen bee. >> raymond: this is all part of a publicity stunt to draw attention to the un's world d-day. >> it is lovely to be that connected to this beautiful -- these pitiful creatures. they got under my dress the entire time. >> raymond: i'm glad she shared that. for 18 minutes, 60,000 for this glamorous fear factor shoot. is this the only way to create awareness? eating honey? the un is sponsoring a month-long program to teach women beekeeping. she was the first to take the course. i can't wait for the scorpion awareness month. >> laura: don't "bee" such its

support, raymond arroyo. speaking of shameless stents, this is our. choosing to go for a minimalist approach. >> raymond: you bet. it paid a lot. newsweek is reporting that he recently auctioned his sculpture entitled buda and contemplation. -- in contemplation. look at this masterpiece. that is the piece it's up at the artist describes his sculpture as invisible. it exists. sort of like the air between . this guy $18,000 for this non-entity arch. who are these people? i want to know who these people are? >> laura: it goes back to box of air that you can order online and people actually -- yeah.

>> raymond: or the banana taped to put that wall they had a museum installation. >> laura: there's a sucker born every minute. >> raymond: i'm sorry to cut you off but we are getting a breaking news fox news alert. >> laura: sure. very old human remains have been found near prince harry and nick and markel's as they. according to page six, we are awaiting details but this does raise the question, has anyone seen the queen lately? [laughter] >> laura: -- >> raymond: the queen as well. >> laura: i did not take any response building for that joe. >> raymond: i did not either. i have to say. when i first read it, it is curious. when you read the story deeper, looks like it may have been indian remains native american

remains. it rate maze that more -- race the more important question for the windsor's what do you do when you are on top of a sacred burial ground of native americans? >> laura: i think they need to disgorge their real estate. repossess because they are living on stolen plan. for that matter, i bet oprah is, too. let's take it all. >> raymond: oh, boy. >> laura: one big happy new family. rehman, thank you. good to see you. >> raymond: have a great weekend. >> laura: the rest media offenders of the week and the tape you do not want to miss, next.

>> laura: it is easy to become numb to media bias. "the ingraham angle" is keeping track of the worst offenders. joining me, senior columnist, author of a book, tammy, fox news interpreter on fox nation. she will be hosting the 7:00 show on fox crime. let's begin with cnn's' don lemon who made a very brave declaration.

>> i just wonder if we over inflated, if we give too much of a voice to because donald trump right now is the wizard of oz. his power comes from us. we keep promoting him. i think that you can call people out. you can expose them. but after that, you don't have to continue to talk about it every single day. >> laura: tammy, we did a little digging. while lemon wants us to stop talking about trump that he started every single one of his lesson seven shows with a story about donald trump. it is trumped all the time. it is like a crack addict lecturing us about the dangers of cocaine before they take another snort or maybe -- >> or maybe off to the side got one of those teleprompter things where you talk to the therapist he is actually talking about

himself. he is speaking out loud to himself because frankly that may be the only person watching that program right now is himself watching himself on dvr. he is telling himself to stop doing it. the fact is, even liberals that they understand what has happened. we know those ratings are now in the dump. also, i believe that there's a point where you just stick with one thing over and over again. they don't even know how to cover any other issues because they are addicted to the adrenaline, as you have noted. it is an addiction. the more you do something, the more you need it. the more you need to ramp up what you do because of that thrill. they don't know what to do. 85% of the media, for them, journalism is dead. it looks like it is group therapy on television for them at this point. >> laura: on emma simmons see the obsession over dan fetes continues. here's what was said just

yesterday. >> liberals in general are not that general peacemakers. that is our problem. our campaign, the only asymmetry has left us in a position where we are watching democracy collapse. it is kind of like being attacked in pearl harbor. we had pearl harbor. we have been living through it. >> this is the most important issue of airtime. i think it is the most important issues since the civil war. >> laura: pearl harbor, the last 150 years. these people are shameless. it is like a comedy hour now watching them. it is the best entertainment out there. >> laura, just that clip, you dropped my iq. i'm going to be a dumber person for having heard that. you look at this racial -- talking about it being like pearl harbor.

except for the bombs and thousands of deaths but yet, it may be? this is what apparently, she has difficulty getting tenure at whatever the university is prepare. i think there's an arms race for hyperbole where people are trying to get on msnbc or cnn so they can pester people on airport lounges and they tried to maximize the stupidity of what they say. in order to get attention. well, they got attention and our country and culture is worse than it was. >> laura: yeah, and i have to get to this groundbreaking interview with speaker nancy pelosi. >> reporter: is there an app that you can't live without? [laughter] do you use emojis? >> i have a lot to do with the food. >> reporter: where was the

first place you went to when you are vaccinated? >> i have not been vaccinated. >> reporter: so much fun. in when. >> laura: i want to say, tammy, you are so much fun at your genuine. i know you use emojis. i have done my job. there's no other serious thing facing the country. my goodness. >> yeah. she does not go anywhere unless she is not vaccinated. than she goes to get her hair done. and the american people really don't think we notice. it comes on the heels of kind of the polar opposite against trump being unreasonable. hysterically attacking him. power it needs to be confronted. if there are liberals out there, democrats not happy with what is happening, nobody voted for more violence in the middle east. nobody voted for anything that the democrats are doing for open border for covid lies, nobody wanted that, including biden

voters. now they are watching. we talk about the media being effectively pendants and being partisan and now they are just displaying it out right in front of everyone and we may be quiet about it. but the american people, there's a reason why people are turning off legacy media. people want real information, even if they disagree with it. and i think that that is what they are going to be reacting to. it is also embarrassing for our country. >> laura: one of the questions could have been, speaker pelosi, why won't you remove the sense that is still surrounding the capitol works do you plan to ever remove that? used that as cover to keep the people away from the elected representatives whose salaries they pay? i would like an answer to question. >> i would like an answer, too. you know, there was a time when

the media afflicted the comfortable, where it challenged the comfortable. now our license and related regime media is all about reinforcing the narrative. they finally get a chance to talk to the daughter and president of hours about the border or the fact that gas prices are going through the roof. now. it is about his ice cream cone. it is embarrassing. >> laura: have a great weekend. tammy, we will be watching you next week. and coming up, if you thought it was impossible to find a silver lining. fascination of a u.s. president. cnn has news for you, next. we're here nights, weekends and right now, to give you exceptional care and 20% off your treatment plan. new patients, take the first step with a complete exam and x-rays that are free without insurance.

>> all right. i know you think cnn puts a negative spin on everything. but to you, i present this.

>> lyndon johnson said yes to being vice president because he thought he would have power. he thought he could lead democrats in the office and expected an office in the west wing. l.b.j. was not happy. >> turned out okay for him. >> greg: how macaub. what? greg gutfeld takes it from here. >> blood may be thicker than water but not thicker than kool-aid. >> greg: i don't think she's had kool-aid before. [applause] all right. you know, some beliefs are easy to debunk. for example, this was not kat timpf at a
