during the 2020 been anytime biden was pressed on how he would deal with the growing threat from china he would respond with the same we are the world refrain. >> folks, we're restoring american leadership in the world stage. i promise you i will repair our alliances. we need someone to take office this time around who one day when stand on the world stage, command the respective world leaders. we should be rallying our friends to take on china's abusive practices around the world. >> working with our friends, our we? at the same time the media relentlessly portrayed donald trump is a bull in a china shop imitate by of the world leader and sold biden is mister foreign-policy. kind of a diplomatic superhero of sorts able to heal the world and get nations like germany and france to work with us on the big issues.

6 months into the biden administration, we see this was another biden bait and switch, biden can't even get canada to open our borders of the lord and he will take on all of the eu? we see the biden sabotaged rather than advances america's interest on issues ranging from energy needs to the china threat, project abject weakness or pushes policies that hurt american families, our economy and national security. trump saw things as they really were. he understood that world leaders, much like ceos are generally going to act in their own interests unless they have to cut deals for their own survival. so america first wasn't just a slogan for trump, it was the cornerstone of every major domestic and foreign policy decision, international affairs, sexier interest on issues like trade and border security required our having leverage against reluctant allies and aggressive adversaries.

remember the media and global history get one trump attended his first nato summit, they were enraged that he refused to play by the all establishment game of tapering all the differences with niceties. and city use the occasion to put our friends on notice that america wouldn't be assessed anymore who picked up the check forever. it was time that member nations started living up to their obligations. >> nato members must finally contribute their fair share, and meet their financial obligations. this is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the united states. >> in the media's eyes an american president should never ask our allies to pay up. it is so gauche and threatening. >> in epic foreign-policy failed. >> the phrase leader of the free world might be obsolete.

we are not getting along with any european allies. >> really striking the degree of hostility donald trump has against nato. >> nato is not like a golf club, there are no greenfields. >> i forgot that. these people are still upset about it. this is just a few hours ago. >> nato and the g7, i said what does a normal summit booklet, it doesn't look anything what you experience, the impulses of donald trump, the elbowing of leaders, calling into question not what should be done but whether they should even exist, european leaders were scared. a lot were traumatized, trump is openly hostile and so mean to our european allies. >> so mean to our allies, putting the tax dollars to work. folks at npr and the washington

post i never as happy as when american presidents shrink in the world stage and the global elites love it, the nobel prize was the equivalent of a participation trophy in global affairs. it was embarrassing, the nobel committee and president obama. i wouldn't be surprised if joe got one before the term is out at this rate. it depends how much he grumbles in caves of the world stage over the next four years. we have to wait and see but seriously, biden sabotaged reaches every part of the american landscape. investments we went from energy independence to energy depressed. trump understood that america was stronger and more powerful when we are less reliant on other countries for energy and when american families are more

prosperous the job the other hand democrats love high-energy prices and they've always wanted us to pay the same exorbitant prices at the pump that the european's pay, why do they want us? because they want us to travel less and use less energy. paper for us all to be crammed into cities moving little apartments like many european families do. climate change fanatics biden started administration with absolutely detest even the memory of $2 a gallon gasoline, especially when into the ford f 150 blasting country music with it really offensive thing:american flag bumper sticker, that sends them over the edge. somehow old think americans won't blame him that the cost of living is going up as long as he is not rude to the europeans and as long as he just spouts meaningless clichés. >> want to make clear that the united states is back and

democracy, the issues that matter most. laura: if america was really back as he said we would see china brazenly signaling is about to take time. we wouldn't see a flood of humanity crossing the southern border, we certainly wouldn't see opioid use skyrocketing or violent crime spiking. we wouldn't see a secretary of state so neutered on foreign-policy that he fumbled the embarrassing question on how the biden team wasn't able to stop germany's mega energy deal with russia in the nordstrom 2 pipeline. it totally undercuts america's natural gas industry. the truth is biden has been over backwards for germany and the eu and has gotten virtually nothing for it. other countries, even our friends simply don't share many

of our values so we can work with them on occasion and have some things in common but on big issues we have very little in common, things like gun rights, even free-speech, military spending and especially on the need to band together to keep china in check. >> it would put china to increase its strategy, it would push china to diminish its cooperation and good different agenda and -- laura: french would supplement to china for the right price. the truth is europe is perfectly content to play america off china and china off america. they will make a lot of demands but give almost nothing back. they will free write off our vaccine generosity as they hoard their own ppe like they did early on in the pandemic.

you know it is bad for biden when the press is starting to write all these preemptive stories to manage people's expectations on alcohol trip will go. use out axioms framed it. they wrote it is also not clear to what extent biden geopolitical priority, countering china, will be on the agenda. what? biden et al. campaign rested on the notion that he would persuade allies to support him on china and he is going to brussels for a nato summit and it is not clear whether countering china is even on the agenda? how is that even possible. like kamala not going to the border. how is that possible. house biden's issue not possible when doctor jill biden insisted that her husband had been cramming nonstop for his first big trip? >> i think is so well prepared. he's been studying for weeks,

working up to today. he knows most of the leaders that will be here. joe loves foreign-policy. we are bringing love from america, this is a global conference and we are trying to bring unity across the globe. >> unity? that jacket jill wars something my 16-year-old might get that target but i don't think it is going to impress the chinese some now? you know what xi jinping and the ccp love? power and domination. if trump and won the election he would have had enormous economic leverage against the eu and wouldn't have been afraid to use it. biden will not. let's never forget that biden and the democrats essentially agree with the european elites

the american history is corrupt and is present my by fatty will races, republicans should make it very clear that any grand deal biden makes with europe over the next few years will be undone immediately when they get back into power whether it is the minimum global tax rate of climate change, vaccine passports, global surveillance, all of that will be undone. their ideal world is one where the us is like gulliver, tied down by the lilliputian's, the wto and other international bureaucracies at american citizens work a lot and take orders. are the europeans going to agree to fulfill their promises on defense spending? of course love. are they going to give us genuine practical efforts on the china problem or more empty words? when the trip is over will americans be safer, will the country be stronger? know and know.

it is just a political show designed to make you think biden is looking out for our interests but we have to wait 3 more years to elect someone who will once again put america first and that is the angle. joining me is lindsey graham, good to see you, the only thing biden seems to be able to rally the world around is at this point undermining america and talking about how we are systemically racist. >> let's be honest, the bad guys were afraid of trump. is afraid of biden. the europeans are talking about doing a trade deal with china as china dismantles hong kong's democracy it is engaging in genocide against the leaders service just. my mind, they are talking about going back into the iranian nuclear deal even though iran hasn't changed its behavior at all. i can tell you one thing, the

israelis miss a strong american president, the mexican president blamed biden for the spike in illegal immigration, we had 160% increase in illegal immigration in the last 6 months because biden doesn't know what he's doing on the border. laura: the big issue biden thinks he can rally europe around, watch. >> 80 years ago prime minister winston churchill and president franklin roosevelt signed an agreement, today we build on that commitment with revitalized atlantic charter speaking directly to the key challenges of this century. cybersecurity, emerging technologies, global health and climate change. laura: he thought about international is based border quite different from what winston churchill was talking about all those years ago. >> let me give you two examples between the two cyberattacks on

our economy coming from russian territory by russian organizations, given a pass by the russian government, probably working together, to be honest with you and growing evidence that the coronavirus came out of the lab in china, not nature and is biden asking the europeans to do anything to push back against russian cyberterrorism? is even talking about what we should do terrain shining in? know. this is just all fluff and happy talk. i miss trump. laura: you argue in a new op-ed that early and near-total dismissal of the lab week 3 played a prominent role in trump's defeat in 2020 in the presidential race. explain. >> in february of 2020, 27 american scientists wrote an op-ed saying that anybody who suggests the coronavirus came

out of the chinese lab is a right wingnut, later on 5 of the scientists said the same thing. why is that important? if the coronavirus came out of the chinese lab like a lot of people suspected people in america would be outraged and want somebody to take to china. that would have been the biggest issue in the campaign. to make china pay for infecting the world. secondly by shutting down this legitimate question about where the coronavirus came from they reinforced the idea that trump was a not so the scientists who signed the letter in february of 2020, what evidence did you have to make you feel so strong there was no other alternative than it coming from nature? was this a political document or scientific document? i'm not challenging science, unquestioning the motive of the

scientists who definitively sit in february of 2020 the lab leak was a right-wing conspiracy idea. why did they say that? there tied to the lab, interest to shutdown that inquiry. i think a change the 2020 election. >> it obviously did. 100% did. as to the dismissal of all these early treatments, blowing them off saying they don't work, turns out, the big study about hydroxychloroquine just published, 200% increase in survival infused with zinc, all these people's lives could have been saved that anthony fauci the medical cartel as we call them dismissed it and trashed the motives of donald trump and any of us who interviewed the top experts, outrageous. people died because of this.

>> not only did people die but anybody who suggested it may have come from the lab in china and confidence in the lab in china infected the entire world. they were written off as right wing nuts, donald trump was vilified. i got a letter going to doctor fauci from myself and senator paul askingbelieved the sequenc coronavirus proves almost positively that it came from a man-made laboratory experiment, not from nature so how could they know so certain in 2020 february that the lab week theory was -- when it seems to be more likely than not today? >> do you think anthony fauci has the confidence of the american people and should be sitting in this position giving 400,$000 year given everything we know not just on that issue but all these other medical

issues? do you think he should be in that position? >> i smell a rat. this letter written by the scientists to stop an inquiry, they had a relationship with the woman on lab and it had been a lab week trump would have been right and what would have happened if trump was right about the source of the virus. this doesn't pass the smell test. i'm not a scientist but i understand conflict of interest and i'm going to ask until the cows come home how did you know for sure in 2020 came from nature? how did you exclude the lab leak. why is it more prominent today than it was back then? >> these emails came out and they knew they had to answer the questions. i sent the emails for fauci are what the blue dress was for clinton. good to see you tonight, thank

you for joining us. african-american republican denied entry into the congressional black caucus. was following up was an insulting interview on cnn. congressman zelda respond to both in moments.

♪ ♪ >> laura: founded founded in 1971 the

congressional black caucus was envisioned as a biracial alliance of black lawmakers. guess how many black republicans are in the group today? 0. not for lack of trying. for months congressman byron donald inquired about joining the cdc won't give him an answer. one cdc story tells between the group is actively blocking donald's membership but don't worry there's a consolation prize, an interview with the cheerful morning group. >> do you think your defense of a person that said things like that might be in congruent with the mission of the cdc? >> first of all whatever the president said in the past is nothing to do with this at all. >> you defense did -- >> please don't cut me off. i have not cut you off. please don't do that to me, thank you. as a black man in america i'm

allowed to support or choose to support or not to support. laura: florida congressman byron donald joined me now. the cdc's actions are bad enough but to have the media tried to justify it by implying you don't have the right to disagree with the prevailing wisdom of the congressional black caucus, is amazing. >> completely amazing but i'm not surprised, the media has been covering for the democrats for quite some time so when they tried to bring up donald trump and things that he said as justification i found it to be outrageous because last time i checked i was born black, i have grown black, made it in america as a black man, graduated college as a black man, raised license as a black man, came into halls of congress as a black man so i don't know what donald trump or joe biden or anyone else has to do with that. like i said earlier they asked me if i wanted to join.

i am a legislative black caucus when i was in florida's legislature, i have been through this before. it was more congenial in florida but i'm in washington now so we'll see how it goes are here. laura: ever run into norton or any of the other members of the cdc and chitchat about this in the halls? do you talk to each other? >> that is the funny thing. i talk to a lot of the members whether on the floor and the speaker's lobby, in passing and it comes up, would you join the cdc? i was in the legislative black caucus in the florida legislature. for me it is about making sure conservative ideals are being discussed in the room and at the table. i know a lot of members of the cbc will not agree with me and i will not agree with them but it is about having the conversation. the left says they want to have. i'm prepared to have it, to sit down and discuss it but they don't want to discuss it with me.

laura: are they were read that if you enter the meetings or take part in the meeting that you might convince a few people to consider issues a little differently from a different point of view or don't want anyone outside of their fold, knowing what they discussed? it has got to be one of those things. you don't seem to be a very threatening person. you just kind of want your views heard i imagine. change i don't know. i will leave that up to them. the thing has been weird about the situation, the you have a member say something off the record to a reporter and a reporter ran with it. we are all members of congress, we go on tv shows all the time and debate each other in committees and on the house for so i don't see why we can't have this conversation in front of each other and go from there and part ways if that is what the decision is but i don't think it is about me convincing them

although i am pretty smart and make a good argument so that would probably happen. it is more a matter of they are accustomed to the way they do things in the cbc. don't know if i would cause a problem for them or not but it is about all of black america and all of america being exposed to all ideas and ideologies across the political spectrum, not just one. laura: when you listen to comments like maxine waters, she was inciting violence during the summer riots, they don't really think you are authentically black, your skin color is black but to them you are not authentic and when you go online, watch the speeches from the radicals, for them you don't count, they use phrases like uncle tom maybe not to your face but i worked for justice thomas, that is what they did to him and still do to him. >> that part sucks was never had

people bring that to my face. i would respect somebody if they would say it to my face. on twitter or instagram you get a lot of cute little means and i ignore those people. when i have conversations with black democrats we have a good conversation. when this came up in the media, from left-wing media it surprised me. we are here already? that is okay let's take care of business here and there. when it comes to people on the radical left especially when it comes to white liberals who make me seem like i'm not black enough for them, walk a while in my shoes, talk to my mom who lives in brooklyn, new york today. laura: thank you for standing up and being a voice of reason, a conversation across party lines every now and then. their desperate attempt to cling to power democrats are once again turning to machine politics was an illinois democrat thinks they found a new voter base for their corrupt

design, prison inmates. illinois lawmakers could soon take up legislation to restore voting rights to convicted criminals who are still serving jail time. they obviously have a captive audience from which they can harvest ballots, you know how it goes with that is not all, days ago the governor gave democrats another tool to ensure ill-gotten dominance, and exquisitely partisan redistricting bill that heavily favors democrats. it was also something he promised not to do, he promised not to do it while running for governor. joining me as professor of philosophy, author of the forthcoming book what do white americans over black people, racial justice. thanks for joining us. this is nothing new under the sun because we've seen this type of machine politics going back 100 years but voting rights for inmates still behind bars?

that is a whole new level of corruption. >> it violates the illinois constitution and the illinois constitution is premised on the idea that violate other people's right to evict yourself of certain rights, the right to vote is not a constitutional right but we know what is behind this move. those in prison granted the right to vote, on release the left will have a coercive monopoly on that demographic. this is a well thought out strategy aimed at a particular demographic. laura: don't you think they are looking at the hispanic vote and seeing their previous calculations that they were all going to be overwhelmingly

democrat, not necessarily working out for them so they have to go back to racism 24/7, reparations issue as well, they have to stoke that kind of anger and resentment among various racial groups to solidify the black vote. they are frantic about what happens to the hispanic vote may happen in pockets at least to the black vote. >> we saw in texas the hispanic predictions didn't play out as people thought they would so they plan devices race war especially with the reparations movement. they are out to launch a civil war with the reparations movement because since the 1964 civil rights act which -- the affirmative-action program that followed, the various contract issues to minorities, that reparations movement is moved. it is a non-issue.

laura: we have to go but thank you and happy birthday. you share a birthday with one of my sons so happy birthday. said up with the in action from the biden white house texas, greg abbott is taking border measures into his own hands. the governor joins us from the border with a big announcement.

>> i will announce next week the plan for the state of texas to begin building the border wall in the state of texas. laura: the ingrandmother reported a few years ago. how will you get this wall built without the help of the federal government? >> texas will build it ourselves, tonight is not the night to announce those details. those details will be made it next week. we've been through the process of analyzing the steps that are needed, the legal processes that are required. we can do it in a multistep process. laura: governor -- >> we have to build the border. i've been down here, the way they are being overrun is

reprehensible, disastrous, what the biden administration has done donald trump inadequately secured the border, heather remain in mexico policy and all of a sudden that disappeared and as you highlighted, led to a dramatic increase in the number of people coming across border, the people are causing great damage and harm intel real and up and down the entire border as a result, that is why i announced tonight a multitude of actions texas did taking including the fact that texas past a budget adding $1 billion for border security and the state but also announced that texas is going to begin increasing arrests of people coming across the border, arresting people for trespassing and because it is a disaster, that elevates the penalty, showing the people we arrest for trespassing, they will be serving time in jail. we will do everything possible to secure the border including building the border wall.

laura: at some point we have to ask ourselves as americans is this a willful refusal to do what we know works? kamala harris a couple days ago so there's no quick fix, complex issue, go to the root problem, go to central america, the more money but we know what works but they refuse to do those things but given that, do you believe this is purposeful on the part of the administration, allowing as many people to come into the country? >> i feel certain that it is willful. it is purposeful. it is want and disregard for the border laws or immigration laws or border communities or anybody in the united states of america, the united states -- any pretense of border security, any pretense of enforcing immigration laws.

they left it off the same way the vice president laughed it off in her interview the other day so it is a joke to the biden administration. we are not taking it as a joke in texas, we are going to step up and respond to the way we must respond to secure the sovereignty of our state, prevent the invasion that is taken place in front of our very own eyes. >> speaking of laughing it off as you described, the vice president continues to embrace her role overseeing the border, this was a cringe worthy dodged tonight by her. watch. >> i said i'm going to the border. >> when you going to the border? >> the administration process -- i'm not finished. i said i'm going to the border. >> he gets very snippy is there. she has 880 something days and hasn't visited any part of the

border and kind of -- he doesn't like being asked hard questions, she gets very uncomfortable and blows up and insinuates the reporter has that agenda. i believe that was the univision -- >> they completely don't care about the border at all and try to brush it aside as much as they can, they ignore it. i haven't talked to us or want to do anything for us, they fight as every step of the way the biden administration is now suing me because of actions i'm trying to take to better secure the state of texas and crackdown on people coming across the border so they are fighting against texas's efforts to secure our own border. laura: thank you for stepping up, the people of texas are spending an enormous amount of their tax dollars to try to secure their state, that money should come from the federal government, i am sure you are looking at all those avenues but thank you for joining us, we

and what was available to the law enforcement and intelligence community in advance that could have been used to prevent or mitigate it. >> away the threat to our democracy still is? >> very serious challenge to our democracy. laura: host of the matt walsh showing senior editor at the federalist. i'm looking at the chertoff website during the commercial break. cybersecurity risk management, learn to assess systems from the mindset of an adversary, account for implementation risks, prevention and detection. he makes an enormous amount of money off of the very thing he is warning against and is inflating the risk of january 6th. unbelievable. >> this has been billed. when i was just beginning as a

young reporter at the end of the bush administration i was at a speech at a major conservative think tank where he was acting, then a director, talking about a new technology that would allow tears agents to scan americans, get their naked image in front of the tsa agent to see every aspect of them and determine if they ran out the agent. at the end of that speech the entire audience to cheer and applauded. all that is to say over the last 20 years this complex has been feeding and getting bigger, you have a lot of leaders of the gop and the democratic party entirely in favor of this. the fear gets to vote, makes people money. you look at the difference between january 6th and the riots that killed dozens of people across the country, january 6th was a useful tool for that fear, to make a lot of money on that. laura: when you look at his

website it is all the security industrial complex that they make millions and millions of dollars off of the very thing he is commenting on on television yet he doesn't reveal that when he appears, he's just an objective analyst saying this is a real problem and we should do something and it is donald trump's fault, he didn't say that but it was implied in the questioning. your reaction to this, we shouldn't be surprised. >> not surprised but he has is gripped going so has money to make offer, the media does as well, stoking fear on this, my question is if this is a huge threat posed by right-wing insurrectionist then why does he have to lie about it? we were told it was an armed

insurrection and we find out not really, deadly insurrection, the only person killed was ashley babbitt was killed by maya millette police officer was all these lies if this was a real threat, real danger we are under like the hate crime thing where we are told they crimes happen although we always get the hoax a crimes, why do you have to hoax it if it is a real epidemic, that is my confusion. laura: day pedal fear, the virus, a lot of reasons for people to be worried about a lot of reasons people thought there could be decent treatments for the virus but when you stoke the fear other people on the other side can make a lot of money, you can't discount any of that and got to get to this shocking story, a deleted archive of sweets belonging to a military commander named andrew rhodes, commander of the 18 infantry fighting eagles ran a private woke left-wing twitter account under the name drew. what is more, he reportedly said that a military function if you are white you are part of the problem. if you are a white male you are part of the problem. why should republicans keep
