♪ o'er the ramparts ♪ ♪ we watched ♪ ♪ were so gallantly streaming ♪ >> sean: go islanders and let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham, how are you? >> laura: i tweeted out that your segment with the west point parents was fantastic. that was such an awesome -- i just was riveted to that. first of all, they are all great people. >> sean: amazing. >> laura: they love their country, their kids love the country and they're being harassed and persecuted for making their own medical decision. every american has to see that segment, it was fantastic. >> sean: i appreciate it but to me, it's sad. they keep saying follow the signs. i think the cleveland clinic represents science. >> laura: no, no -- i think we all know now it's not about the science. i think we can drop that.

that inquiry. >> sean: that bull adam schiff. >> laura: anyway, fantastic on that, we were all watching it here. a fantastic interview and i will try to pick up where you left off. >> sean: have a great show. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. we have a lot to get to, so we're going to dive right in. biden's distraction to her. that's the focus of tonight's angle. well, fresh off embarrassing himself and the entire nation of the g7 and nato meeting, biden returned to more bad news for his entire agenda at home. it's neither working nor popular. first, his approval numbers are upside down. the latest monmouth poll has joe at only 48% approval, down six points from 54 in april. he dropped nine points among democrats and 11 points among the all-important independents. the polling director offers this

reason for 'us plunging ratings. right now biden is not quite meeting the public's expectations for helping the middle class. this calculation may be that the country is willing to accept some price increases in return for a more robust economy and wider array of support programs. well, biden's calculations were way off and the bad economic news keeps piling up. weekly jobless claims rose for the first time since april. they rose 37,000 to a seasonally adjusted 412,000, the increase in claims led by california, kentucky and pennsylvania. well, all three states causing the bleed there are all led by democrat governors who have slow-walked a full reopening. and progressives, they are close to revolting. the quotes in this piece are stunning. biden's big pitch was "i was in the senate, so i know how to get things through the senate." well, we're not getting any

through the senate said one person. i wouldn't call it frustration, it's disappointing. it's kind of a gut check time of the democratic side. another comment, we are running out of time. now, to top it off, the fed is increasingly worried about inflation. interest rates are probably going to go up sooner than was initially thought which of course will put the brakes on growth. >> shifts in demand can be large and rapid. inflation could turn out to be higher and more persistent than we expected. >> laura: meanwhile, parents are mobilizing against the democrats' education crown jewel known as critical race theory. in fact, two new surveys shows that americans of all stripes oppose this poisonous ideology. they don't want anyone near their kids. a new poll released today shows that a plurality of likely voters, 43%, believe teaching crt in public schools will worsen race relations. only 24% said it would improve

things and an economist poll released tuesday gave an even more encouraging breakdown of the opposition to crt. among voters who know what critical race theory actually is, 57% had an unfavorable view of it. that includes 76% of independents, 54% of women, and 53% of hispanics. this is unquestionably a winning issue for the g.o.p. and a disaster for biden and company. even democrat darling terry mcauliffe may be in trouble and that virginia governor's race because of this issue. remember, virginia parents are up in arms and uniting across party lines to oppose the devastation that this race theory is creating our schools. now, the good news for republican challenger is that one poll by wpa intelligence has terry mcauliffe up by only two points. remember, he was governor before and jay and c analytics has him up by only four points.

that is way too close for liberal comfort. now, especially as the economy is moving in the wrong direction and virginia schools are getting worse, not better. very good for the g.o.p. and of course, i don't need to belabor the point about what an unmitigated disaster of a vice president kamala harris has turned out to be. she doesn't bring anything to the table other than that irritating cackle and a prickly personality. so all told, the landscape is looking really bleak for the democrats, who, six month ago -- or member, they thought they had republicans on their knees and they could see that socialist utopia in sight. thus it's no wonder that biden 'esteem of amateurs, they are eager for him to hit the road again as soon as possible. joe realized that when you give away free stuff, people like, well, you and above all joe, well, he likes being liked. now, after playing santa claus in europe and letting russia off the hook, biden is ready to move

on to the next capitulation. the white house's national security advisor jake sullivan told reporters that biden wants to keep the personal magic going with a face-to-face meeting with his old pal xi jinping. i'm sure his forgetfulness, the mental lapses, and the tendency to give foreign leaders everything they want without asking for anything in return won't be exploited by the chinese at all. no. obviously a biden-xi meeting would be an utter disaster. it is simply not in our national interest to let this guy and his team of amateurs meet the ccp without adult supervision. it's bad enough seeing the president get humiliated in europe, but it could be catastrophic to put him in the same room with xi. now, accordingly, republicans on the hill, they need to start demanding detailed confidential briefings from the biden foreign policy team. we need to know in detail what

issues would they plan to raise with president xi, what issues what they expect this ccp to raise a biden, and what sort of leverage do we have? what sort of leverage does the ccp have? we also need detail briefings on the situation in taiwan, the latest from hong kong, what's happening with the uighurs and what's happening with the ccp's military buildup. of course, defense secretary lloyd austin and the entire pentagon team needs to be grilled relentlessly. how would the ccp likely attack taiwan? what could we do in response? what technological advances does the ccp have now? and what are we doing to counter those advantages? and so on and so on. meanwhile, we have to keep up the fight against the great awokening in the military. just today republicans grilled the highest navy officer on why they are encouraging sailors to read the seminal work of racial

arsonist zebra max candy. for anyone who cares about the quality and cohesion of our troops, admiral responses were frightening. >> there's racism in the navy just like there's racism in our country in the way we are going to get accurate -- they are bombarded every day but misinformation. much of it comes from china and russia -- i'm trying to get after it in the navy. >> the book states that capitalism is essentially racist. and he is clear that racism must be limited to, so yes or no, do you personally consider for advocating for the destruction of american capitalism to be extremist? >> here's what i know, congress meant -- >> it's a "yes" or "no" question. do you expect that after sailors read this book that says the united states navy is racist, that we will increase or decrease morale or morale in the

united states navy? >> i think we will be a better navy from having open, honest conversations about racism. >> laura: that admiral is not used to getting question, is he? any organization that is focused on wokeness is obviously in no position to fight the ccp because i can tell you, they are not worried about wokeness. some good work on this issue is already being done and that work needs to continue. here's the bottom line: since the end of the cold war, both the democrat party and the u.s. establishment have forgotten how to act in a world where we face a dangerous adversary who hates us and wants to destroy our way of life. years of chasing terrorists around the middle east and pandering to the left-wing media have not prepared us to deal with the richest and most dangerous adversary we've faced in decades. trump's team brought a fresh and more rigorous approach to geopolitics and they got some excellent results. but now we risk backsliding into

the bad old days of weakness and decline. republicans are doing what they can to stop biden's and spend-o-rama, but they have to do more to stop biden's spending at home and abroad. the more feverishly they try to distract us, the more obvious it is that we all need to pay more attention, and that's the angle. joining me now is stephen miller, former senior advisor to president trump, founder of america first legal and floor to congressman byron donalds. congressman, i want to begin with you, what we saw today and congress was truly disturbing. the suggestion that to fight china we need to saturate our military, marinate our military and the divisive works of these racial agitators, your response, and why are we paying for this? >> i'm just as concerned as you are. the last thing our men and women in uniform need to be doing is reading that book to read it

they need to be focused on two things, number one, being prepared for any of the issues that our country may face in the future and number two, being a united force, united front. men and women from all walks of life, all races across our country. we are one america, we are one people and if we go down this road, that the critical race theorists want us to go down, when we start looking at each other as enemies instead of understanding number one, the history of our country, but also understanding the progression we've made as america and that we are all united to face the photos that face our country, we are going to be lost. this is not good for our military, it's not good for our country. >> laura: stephen miller, i got to say, republicans in congress, they have got the power to take some of the money away from the military when it's doing what it's doing. shawn 'us report about the vaccination at west point, they are harassing and oppressing these young cadets who either had the antibodies or some other reason for not wanting the

vaccine and now this? in this admiral looks extremely dismissive of congress. i found his entire tone to be highly annoying and completely disrespectful to the congressional oversight that's needed. >> it was a stunning level of arrogance and frankly hubris too. i think if you are a member of the chinese communist party looking to hurt america, looking to damage military and unit cohesion, looking to degrade our armed services, you could not do better than to teach our service members the hateful ideologies of critical race theory. i think that we need to happen is that republicans in congress need to fight to include an appropriations writer in the next defense bill, making very clear that no taxpayer dollars shall be spent to instruct anybody in the military in critical race theory, period, and dared democrats to block it. >> laura: congressman, will you be in favor of that?

>> i'm just glad that stephen gave me an amendment for the defense bill because i would be happy to offer it. listen, this is very simple. if you want to talk about the history of race in america, let's talk about it. let's teach it. let's be fully complete about it. let's not hide names. let's teach at all. but critical race theory is not about the objectivity of our history when it comes to race. it's about subjectivity, a funnel through a prism of marxism and political ideology that the democrats could never get through the united states if everybody was actually happy with our nation. you must first divide our nation in order to push the political ideology that they want, and that's the danger of critical race theory. it has no basis in our schools, no bass in our military and frankly if the theorists want to discuss it in academia, let them do that on their own time. taxpayer money should not go forward with this. >> laura: not a dime, not one dime and republicans better wake up to this. stephen, i want to move onto something else.

attorney general merrick garland reversed the trump administration's rulings on asylum standards. politico reports that this means that immigration judges will be free again to grant asylum to individuals based on threats of domestic abuse or violence from drug gangs, some of whose claims were already denied, could benefit from a justice department review of the cases. so stephen, this is actually going back to cases that were already determined and perhaps plucking those people out of wherever they are and allowing them to come into the united states. how is this not facilitating asylum fraud? >> it's hard to explain just how breathtakingly radical this is. one of the greatest things that president trump did for this country was shutting down asylum fraud, categorically. by the time that 2020 rolled around, asylum fraud was a thing of the past, it was done. what merrick garland has done here is extreme.

it means that anyone in the world who comes from a high crime country, which by the way is billions of people, or comes from a country where there is high rates of domestic abuse, a great tragedy, a terrible tragedy, but they can come to the united states and they can demand asylum, they can be admitted and they can be made into a u.s. citizen. this completely destroys the integrity of our entire immigration system and it means there will be more fraud than you could possibly imagine, because there's no way to disprove a claim of being afraid of violence. it's an unfalsifiable assertion and it's an attack on the integrity of entire asylum immigration system. >> laura: i think all of this is impeachable. i think it's a conspiracy to undermine u.s. immigration sovereignty. everything that we understand about law and order at our border. it is breathtaking. it's almost no words for it. congressman, that's not the only border surrender. the state department and dhs released a joint statement was

saying we are proud to announce the second phase of our central american miners program reopening. this expansion of eligibility will now include certain u.s.-based parents or legal guardians who have a pending asylum application. congressman, this is basically a central american airlift into american communities. if you've been denied asylum or you are waiting somewhere else for your hearing, you now can be brought into the united states and we will reunite you with your family who are also here waiting for a hearing that they will probably never attend. >> listen, this is a complete and utter disaster on our southern border. our border patrol men and women are completely overwhelmed. they basically been turned into a medical triage unit. they are triage and medical conditions and they are releasing people into the united states. you take this new policy in with the people who have already been turned down or turned away, you're going to completely

overwhelm whatever semblance of border security exists. and let's be perfectly clear. the president and his team are doing this on purpose. this is not a mistake. he doesn't have dementia. it's not that he doesn't know what's going on. he fully knows. this is why he won't go to the border. this is why kamala harris won't go to the border. they are doing this on purpose because if border security is completely overwhelmed, then they get to come with their next plan, which is to complete the wipeout immigration law, turn it into a turnstile quicker in a new york city public system, the train system that they have there, so people can just come in freely without any deterrence. and by the way, laura, all this is happening while the cartel continues to make billions of dollars trafficking people and friends and all into the united states every single day. this is a travesty not just for the southern border but for the entire country. >> laura: they are doing it on purpose. , ron desantis agrees and

greg abbott degrees. this is purposeful, they want this to happen, gentlemen, thank you both. why are the media trying so hard to spend biden's european message? mollie hemingway had some thoughts on that. the u.k. is about to lock down again with zero surgeon cases. nigel farage has a warning about how all that could happen here again. struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic®

♪ ♪ >> laura: now, as we've documented this week, president biden's big european adventure was not just a total disaster. we are calling it now the great american giveaway. but i have to say, it was the reaction of the media to this meeting with putin and how they framed joe's demeanor that was the most telling. >> biden talks tough to putin. >> he went to geneva, confronted and autocrat, stood up to an autocrat. >> looking back at biden's legacy of talking tough with the russian leader. >> i saw the spicy biden today. biden was really very definitive creative >> laura: right. it legacy defined by, well, the media's usual sucking up to joe. well, joining me now is mollie hemingway, senior editor of "the federalist," fox news contributor. mollie, i find the more slavish,

the devotion worse than reality. why did they need to framed with this tough guy persona? >> it's a good question. i think about in recent weeks we saw the media asked joe biden what flavor of ice cream he got, and he said chocolate chocolate chip. when he took a test drive in a car they cheered and applauded like it was the most exciting thing they'd ever seen. so we know that they are really willing to go over the top in praise of him but in this case, it's just something altogether different because we all saw what happened. we all saw that he wasn't particularly strong against putin. we know the whole purpose of this summit with him was to create some guidelines for cyberattacks, terrorism attacks that the u.s. believes russia has committed. of course by the end of that summit, putin denied that they had any role, so certainly not something where biden was tough for particularly effective. the other thing though i think is the media believed that the

test of whether a summit or foreign trip is successful is whether european leaders have praised the president. that's actually a horrible metric when it comes to the american interests in the interest of the american taxpayer. sometimes diplomacy involves not just giving anything away so people say nice things to you, but actually having an agenda, seeking to get the objective that you set out and sometimes people don't love you for achieving that agenda. but our media are not nearly able to comprehend that. i thought action one of the funniest things was when joe biden said that the media were some of the brightest people in the united states. that's clearly not true, and their coverage of him is indicative of how untrue that is. >> laura: there are some interesting analysis from abc news about biden's tirade when he got a mildly challenging question from cnn's kaitlan collins. >> president biden clearly unhappy with one of those final questions. he made it clear today that he

says he's not confident that putin will change. he repeatedly said many different ways that it will take months, it will take time to see whether relations between the u.s. and russia actually improve. >> you just said it, the present made it extremely clear today he is under no illusions. >> laura: mollie, they made it clear that they were defending biden. i mean, they constantly feel the need to reframe or translate. what he really meant, what this conveyed was... and of course none of that came through it all. >> you know, it wouldn't be bad if they were trying to contextualize or reframe what presidents said if they were moderately even in how they did that but it is the opposite with the previous president where he would say something and they would go out of their way to misunderstand or claim that he was saying something very different from what he said and then with president biden, who clearly struggled on this trip. i mean, he's aging and the whole world can see what's happening there. they were working very hard to frame it as if things were better than they were, but it

also just -- this idea that this was even a tough question. this wasn't a tough question, this was a very easy question but we have two different standards where republican presidents or republican elected officials are viciously attacked by the press corps and democratic officials are given every advantage by the press corps and it's just embarrassing to watch. like he couldn't handle that simple of a question? and by the way, he did say he was confident -- it was a decent question because he had said -- he had spoken about the confidence he had that things would be better with vladimir putin and he hadn't explained why. so the media should have backed up kaitlan collins for asking that question, not defended biden from this gentle question. >> laura: i'm saving the best for last here mollie. historian jon meacham on msnbc. >> my insight watching the press conference yesterday was there was a kind of [indiscernible] in his prose. does that make sense? not literally his prose. but it was straightforward and by being so straightforward, it

seemed kind of to elevate it. >> laura: let's just embarrassing. i don't even know -- again, at a loss for words, i can't use that phrase again, mollie, tonight after talking about the border. this is a pulitzer prize-winning historian, also a biden speechwriter of course. >> i do remember when he wrote a speech and then for now president biden and praised biden for the speech that he wrote. this is actually somewhat reserved for him i guess, but again, this is not -- we should have a press corps that is able to critically analyze presidents and do it in a sane and sober way. we didn't have that with the previous president, it was just unending hysteria and hostility and then with this, it's just people being so gentle and deferential, it's not serving the american public. >> laura: mollie, thanks so much. and of course what impressed biden's media denizens the most

was the president's popularity across the pond. >> wherever he goes, he goes to great britain and they're like thank god, we have a guy was not going to insult. he goes to g7. >> is not going to keep the queen waiting for 50 minutes. >> are step in front of her. >> walk in front of the queen! >> laura: that's because the europeans finally have a president they can push around again. joining me now, nigel frost, former brexit party leader. nigel, first i have to say that queen absolutely loved donald trump. we know that. and second, biden may be more popular with anthony macron, angela merkel and johnson, but s because he's giving them everything they want by footing the bill for every one else. >> that is certainly true of nato, even more from the g7 summit because after that and before the putin meeting he went to nato, the headquarters in brussels and donald trump quite rightly called out nato, because it's been around for 70 years but the rules of the club are

very clear. everybody must pay 2% of gdp into defense. and of course the germans and the french are paying about half of that. trump did actually, by causing a scene when he went to nato, he did manage to get some increased contributions. biden turns up and says isn't everything wonderful? so american taxpayers watching this that you will go one subsidizing europe's defense without them paying their fair share, so that i thought was humiliating. but you talked tonight a lot about the media coverage of biden's trip. let me tell you this. u.s. presidents visiting the u.k. is normally a very big deal. you know, it's something that elevates people, gets talked about. biden's visit to the u.k., i don't think most people even knew that he was here because he said nothing of substance whatsoever. all that he did was agree with them and sadly to a large extent boris johnson agenda that there

global [indiscernible], their welfare risks, their welfare risks and he literally made no impression upon this country at all. i've never seen that before. >> laura: stunning and british journalist, she wants everyone to believe that biden 'strategy of giving the e.u. everything at once is basically just a good thing. >> the european union is critical to america on a lot of fronts at the moment. particularly in a way because britain is no longer in it but it's the european union that's going to be dealing with china. it's the european union that's going to be dealing with russia, the european union that's going to be dealing with climate change, hugely important partner for the united states at the moment. if >> laura: a second, nigel. the e.u. is going to take on china? is she kidding me? [laughs] my god! >> this is ridiculous. and i mean actually -- biden actually looks tough on china compared to merkel and all these

european leaders who have completely sold out the chinese party. boris johnson was saying we don't want to have a cold war with china. merkel were saying that china our apartments. she and the bbc -- kata k on the are part of the problem and note solution. the fact is even the tax across the world, even that is an e.u. proposal that biden is going along with and not the other way around. so, you know, we got an american president who frankly -- it's not about poetry and his prose, he can barely string a sentence together. is an embarrassment to the usa, he's walked over by the french and by the germans. >> laura: total doormat. total doormat. prime minister johnson, he delayed now you're reopening, nigel, which i saw over

supposedly fears over the delta covid variance, but as we see covid cases are now show that early signs of slowing as the outbreaks are leveling off in these variant hot spots. nigel, very quickly, your response and warning to americans on this issue. >> so we've got the indian delta variance, cases have been rising rapidly but those cases have been amongst the younger population, most of whom show almost no symptoms whatsoever. amongst the over 50s, the vast majority have been double vaccinated, hardly anybody is going to hospital. we should be able to live with covid and get government and mad scientists have now got this incredible degree of power over our lives. they don't want to give it back and i tell you what, when i went to florida a few weeks ago, i saw how we should manage it. we are going down the wrong road, please don't [indiscernible]. >> laura: thank you.

as anti-police sentiments which the nation and departments find it harder to fill their depleted ranks, one florida county is finding solutions. so i went down there myself to see what they are doing and what i found out, i will show you next. age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss. so the national eye institute did 20 years of clinical studies on a formula only found in preservision. if it were my vision, i'd ask my doctor about preservision. it's the most studied eye vitamin brand. if it were my vision, i'd look into preservision. only preservision areds2 contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the nei to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. i have amd. it is my vision so my plan includes preservision. 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

♪ ♪ >> laura: the war on police continues to take its toll. just today, the portland police department announced that every single officer on its rapid response team quit. this after one of their own was indicted for allegedly assaulting a mostly-peaceful protester with his baton last summer. this is the first time a portland officer has ever been charged with striking a protester, which of course happened after the police declared a riot. the message is clear. if you're a police officer, you are never going to get the benefit of the doubt in any altercation. portland is not alone though. then the face of anti-police animate, department's across the

nation, they are not only losing officers, but also finding it difficult to attract new recruits. so what can be done about this? well, i went to volusia county florida, where they are coming up with actual solutions. here's what i found. >> laura: police recruitment and retention across the united states is a major challenge. we have deficits of personnel across law enforcement in the united states, so we decided to come to volusia county florida to find out how they're doing things differently. a brand-new police academy just opening, grand opening ceremony, a new class of recruits. it seems to be something happening here that's really positive and we came here to find out what it is. [applause] >> the way it works in florida is when you want to be a police officer, you go to a community college, you go through 770 hours worth of training and we hire out of that academy. well, statistics show that 40%

of those people that go to those academies are higher above. our attrition rate, we just couldn't keep up. we were at a point where we were pushing 80 vacancies so we have to do something. have to turn the model on its head. >> laura: when volusia connie sheriff announced the new training academy back in february, that apartment received 326 applications in just a few months. about the same number they received for the entire year of 2020. >> the key to it was we are going to pay you from day one. the day that i hire you, you are on our payroll, you are in our pension fund, you're getting medical benefits for you and your family. >> laura: this new training academy is not so different and exciting that recruits from all over the country came just to ba part of it. even at a time when there is so much hostility for the police. >> one of the biggest things that i just want to kind of change that impressment that not all officers are killed innocent people -- are out to kill innocent people.

>> i'm a step that of four kids and i wanted to set a positive exam before them. even though my youngest was a little bit apprehensive when i decided to do it, actually spoke to him of the importance of law enforcement, especially a 9-year-old actually telling you that he's worried for your safety because of what's going on in this world. >> laura: why law enforcement and why now? >> used to be a janitor here. >> laura: wait, wait, hold on. it used to be a janitor here? >> yes-man. >> laura: that is awesome. >> thank you. and you know, i got familiar, i got to get to know everyone who works there and everyone who works here, they are great people and i look up to them and want to be like them so i just joined the academy. >> laura: the number one reason police officers leave the force before retirement is what? >> no support. they have no support from their community. they have no support from their administration, no support from the politicians. >> laura: and you changed that

dynamic how? >> we changed that dynamic by we have a community that supports us, politicians that support us and a governor that supports us and that makes a big difference. >> laura: how many of you think the media are partly responsible for the negative impression that so many young minorities have of police officers? how many of you are worried that because of the way the media portray law enforcement encounters that your lives will be made more dangerous when you respond to an incident? >> laura: pastor william bradley jr. of new hope church in deltona, florida, says we need to bridge the gap between police and the community and he warns against the animosity we are seeing from some of the leaders on the left. >> laura: when you hear politicians argue for dismantling or defunding the police, what would that mean for

your community? >> i think it would be devastating if any community -- because we do need law enforcement along with community leaders and the community to continue to make our communities a better place to live in. >> laura: this community is doing just that, stepping up to help his officers. this academy and its facilities aren't cheap. it costs real money, so local businesses came to the rescue and, according to the sheriff, there's no additional cost to the taxpayers. >> we could not have done those without the public-private partnership. $225,000 came from private donors to remodel this building and make sure we had state-of-the-art equipment to make sure the building was upgraded so that -- and this first class, they are laying the groundwork. >> on the new news, all you hear is we can't get police officers, nobody wants to be a police officer and as you saw, we have already our first class, so that narrative that it can't be done has been shot. it can be done. it's done with the community

getting together with local businesses and saying yeah, let's do this. >> this template, what they've done here can be taken to any community, any county, any state in keeping our communities safe is what it's about. >> laura: one of the draws of this academy is its high-tech simulator allowing officers to focus on scenario-based training. >> laura: so what are we looking at in this room? >> this is our shooting similar to it's scenario-based simile is officers from anything from school shootings to traffic stops to armed robberies and burglaries in progress. >> laura: does this make the heart beat pretty? >> it can add a little bit of stress. >> laura: police! hands up, the building is surrounded, there is no way out of the situation! clear the building! dropped the weapon! dropped the weapon! okay, so this is a simulation and my heart is beating like i just ran 10 miles.

this is unbelievable technology and the situation is constantly changing and you have to react in real time. what police officers are walking into or running into is incredibly difficult, takes an enormous amount of training and in norma's amount of dedication and before people start judging what police officers are doing every day, try to walk 5 minutes in their shoes. i'm not sure i could be a police officer after this, but i have new found respect for the technology and the people doing this every day. >> laura: it was incredible to be at the opening of this academy. it recruits of every age, race, and sex, they are there to make a difference. i was so impressed and i hope this is a model that we will see replicated coast-to-coast. wonderful donors made that possible and we need more people stepping up. ahead, a north korean defector

♪ ♪ >> laura: every year,

north dakota state university researchers release the american college student freedom, progress, and flourishing survey. this year's findings were deeply disturbing. 85% of liberal students favor snitching on professors who make comments they find offensive and 76% of liberals say fellow students should be reported as well. this isn't surprising my next guest who said the american university system reminds her of the country she defected from. here now, born in north korea, human rights advocate and author of "in order to live: a north korean girl's journey to freedom." you actually say the trends on american college campuses are worse than in north korea. why is that? >> because in north korea we don't have 90 different genders. so i think one thing north korea got better with that. i couldn't believe it in university, every class begins with telling each other what pronouns are and so me

remembering their names, have to pay attention to the pronouns so i don't come off as, you know, a bigot, racist, and not a good person. >> laura: here's what one yale university professor inks is necessary to indoctrinate students. >> we need to address the fact that these institutions that are these large gaps between whites and blacks because of a racist history. if you erase that racist history from our schools, then we can't address these problems. we can't actually do policy. >> laura: yeonmi, what will this perpetual self-hatred and race obsession lead to in the united states? >> i think that's when i realized for the first time in my life that not having a problem is actually a problem. because these people have never actually seen hardship, ever seen oppression and injustice. they are creating this nonsense delusion and hating themselves and i don't understand.

in north korea, i had to hate americans and western people to survive because that's what the demand is but here in this country, they are hating themselves. and that's the biggest irony for me. >> laura: yeonmi, thank you. and coming up, some words of wisdom from one of our favorite men in blue. stay there.

when i was in volusia county florida i had the pleasure to meet royce james come he's an incredible officer who is wise beyond his years. about the top six narratives about race in our society. here's what he told me. >> there is no reason they have any bearing on your success in life. everybody has their own personal demons and hurdles. that is life. deal with it, get over it, get around it, do what you have to

do to have success. if you want something in life, go get it. i'm living proof of it. i had this conversation in the courtroom the other day. we all had choices once. >> laura: america now has a choice. submit to the racial arsonists on the left or take our country back. that's all the time we have tonight. greg gutfeld is next. >> it's everywhere this morning. asking what his fellow billionaires in the race have to say. jeff bezos will blast into orbit next month. a rocket. it's because they call blue origin. [laughter] does that look a little wonky? >> greg: i don't know what they are talking about. or why i am holding this banana. [applause] ♪ ♪
