♪ o'er the ramparts ♪ ♪ we watched ♪ ♪ were so gallantly streaming ♪ >> sean: go islanders and let laura: i tweeted that your segment with the west point parents was fantastic, that was -- they are all great people, their kids love the country and they are being harassed and persecuted for making their own medical decisions. every american has to see that segment. >> to me it is sad. they keep saying follow the science. laura: we know it is not about

the science, we can drop that inquiry. fantastic on that, we were all watching, fantastic interview pick up where you left off, thanks so much. this is the in the graham angle from washington, a lot to get to so we will dive right in. president biden's distraction tour, that is the focus of tonight's angle. fresh off embarrassing himself and the entire nation at the g7 and nato meeting biden returned more bad news for his entire agenda at home. it is neither working nor popular. first his approval numbers are upside down. the latest monmouth paul has met 48% approval down 6 points from 54 in april. he dropped 9 points among democrats and 11 points among the all-important independents.

monmouth polling explains it this way, right now biden is not meeting the public's expectations for helping the middle class which is calculation may be the country's willing to accept some price increases in return for a more robust economy and wider array of support programs. 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 was 37,000 to a seasonally adjusted 412,000, the increase in claims led by california, kentucky and pennsylvania. all three states led by democratic governors who have slow walked in full reopening and progressives are close to refolding, the quote in this piece estimate, biden's big

pitch was i was in the senate so i know how to get things through the senate, we are not getting anything through the senate said one person but i wouldn't call it frustration. i would call it disappointment. it is a gut check time on the democratic side. another comment we are running out of time. to top it off the it is increasingly worried about inflation, interest rates are probably going to go up sooner than initially thought which will put the brakes on growth. >> shifts in demand can be large and rapid, inflation could be higher and more persistent than we expect. >> parents are mobilizing against the democrats education crown jewel known as critical race theory. two new surveys show americans all stripes oppose this poisonous ideology, they don't want anyone your their kids. a new poll released today shows a plurality of likely voters, 43% belief teaching crt in public schools will worsen race

relations with only 24% said it would improve things and a poll released tuesday gave even more encouraging breakdown of the opposition to crt. among voters who know what critical race. actually is 57% had an unfavorable view of it, that include 76% of independents, 54% of women and 53% of hispanics. this is unquestionably a winning issue for the gop a disaster for biden and company. even democrat darling terry mcauliffe may be in trouble in the virginia governor's race because of this issue. remember virginia parents are up in arms and uniting across party lines to oppose the devastation this race theory is creating in our schools. the good news for republican challenger glenn youngken is one poll as mcauliffe up by only two points, gmc analytics has him up by always four points.

that's too close for liberal comfort especially as the economy is moving in the wrong direction and virginia schools are getting worse, not better, very good for the gop as i don't need to belabor the point what an unmitigated disaster of a vice president kamala harris is turned out to be, she doesn't bring anything to the table other than that irritating coagulant accrued prickly personality so all told the landscape is looking really bleak for the democrats who 6 months ago thought they had republicans on their knees and could see that socialist utopia insight. biden's team of amateurs are easier for him to hit the road again as soon as possible. when you give away free stuff

people like you and above all joe likes being liked. 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 by jake sullivan told reporters that biden wants to keep the personal magic going with a face-to-face meeting with his old pal xi chin being. i'm sure his forgetfulness, mental lapses and the tendency to give foreign leaders everything they want won't be exploited by the chinese at all. obviously a biden xi meeting would be another disaster. it is not in our national interests to let this guy and his team of amateurs meet the ccp without adult supervision. is that of seeing the president get humiliated in europe but it could be catastrophic to put them in the same room with xi.

republicans on the hill 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 with expert the ccp to raise with biden and what sort of leverage do we have. what leverage does the ccp have. we also need detailed briefings on the situation and i, the latest from hong kong, what a 7 with the leaders and what is happening with the ccp's military buildup. defense secretary more austin and the entire pentagon team needs to be grilled relentlessly. how would the ccp likely affect i, what could we do in response, what technological advances does 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 awakening in the military. house republicans grilled the navy's highest-ranking officer on why they are encouraging

sailors to read the seminal work of abram x candy. for anyone who cares about the quality and cohesion of our troops, his responses were frightening. >> there is racism in the navy just like there is racism in our country and the way we are going to get after it is to be honest about it. our sailors are bombarded every day by misinformation. much of it from china and russia, on this issue that is getting our national psyche. i'm trying to get after it in the navy. >> capitalism is essentially racist and candy is clear that racism must be eliminated. yes or no. do you personally consider advocating the destruction of american capitalism to be extremist. >> it is he is in a question. >> do you expect after sailors read this book that says the united states navy is racist that we will increase or decrease morale, cohesion and recruitment into the united states navy?

>> i think we will be a better navy from having open, honest conversations about racism. >> that admiral is not used to getting questions. any organization that is focused on woke is in no position to fight the ccp because they are not worried about that. good work on this issue is already being done and the work needs to continue. the bottom line since the end of the cold war but the democrat party and the us 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 have faced in decades. trump's team brother fresh and more rigorous approach to geopolitics and got some excellent results. now we risk backsliding to the bad old days of weakness and decline. republicans are doing what they can to stop biden's tax-and-spendadrama at home but they have to do more to prevent biden and his team from giving away the store abroad. the more feverishly the white house tries to distract us the more obvious it is we all need to pay more attention and that is the. joining me stephen millet, former senior advisor to donald trump, founder of america first legal and florida congressman byron donald. i want to begin with what we saw in congress, was truly disturbing, the suggestion that we need to saturate the 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 men and

women in uniform need to be doing, they need to focus on two things, being prepared for any of the issues our country may face in the future and being a united force, united front, men and women from all walks of life, all races across the country, we are one america, we are one people and if we go down this road the critical race theorists want us to go down, look at each other as enemies with understanding the history of our country and also understanding the progression we've made is america, and united to face the photos that face our country we are going to be lost, this is not good for the military, it is not good for the country. laura: republicans in congress have the power to take some of the money away from the military. sean's report about the vaccination at west point,

arresting and oppressing these young cadets who have antibodies or some other reason for not wanting the vaccine and now this is admiral looks extremely dismissive of congress, i found his entire tone to be highly annoying and completely disrespectful to the congressional oversight that is needed. >> a stunning level of arrogance and hubris too. if you were 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 they full ideologies of critical race.. what needs to happen is republicans in congress need to fight to include an appropriations writer in the next defense bill making very clear that the taxpayer dollars shall be spent to instruct anybody in the military in critical race. period and dared democrats to block it.

>> would you be in favor of that? >> i'm just glad stephen gave me an amendment to the defense bill because i would be happy to offer it. this is simple. if you want to talk about the history of race in america let's teach it, be fully complete, let's not hide names, let's teach it all. critical race. is not the objectivity of our history when it comes to race, it is about subjectivity, of funnel through the 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 wanted that is the danger of critical race.. it has no base in our schools,in

a military and if they want to discuss it in academia, let them do that on their own time, taxpayer money should not go forward. shannon: not one dime, republicans better wake up to this. i want to move on to something else. attorney general merrick garland reversed the trump administration its rulings on asylum standards, politico reports this means immigration judges will be free again to grant asylum to individuals based on threats of domestic abuse or violence from drug gangs, summons claims were denied, could benefit from a justice department review of the cases so this is actually going back to cases that were already determined and fucking those people out wherever they are and allowing them to come into the united states, how is this not facilitating asylum fraud? >> it is hard to explain how breathtakingly radical this is was one of the greatest things donald trump did for this country was shutting down asylum categorically. by the time the 2020 world around, asylum fraud was a thing

of the past, it was done. what merrick garland is done here is extreme. it means that anyone in the world who comes from a high crime country which by the way, billions of people, or comes from a country where there is high rate of domestic abuse, great tragedy, terrible tragedy, come to the united states and they can demand asylum, they can be admitted and become a us citizen. this completely destroys the integrity of our entire immigration system and means there will be more fraud than you can possibly imagine because there's no way to disprove a claim of being afraid of violence. it is an unfalsifiable assertion and an attack on the integrity of the entire asylum and immigration system. >> all of this is impeachable, to undermine sovereignty, everything we understand about law and order on the border it

is breathtaking, almost no words for it. that is not the only border surrender, the state department and dhs released a joint statement saying we are proud to announce the second phase of our central american reopening. this expansion of eligibility will include certain us-based legal guardians with the pending asylum application. this basically central american airlift into american communities, denied asylum are waiting somewhere else for your hearing you now be brought into the united states and we will reunite you with your family who are also here waiting for a hearing. >> this is a complete and utter disaster on the southern border, border patrol, men and women are completely overwhelmed, they've been turned to a medical triage unit. the triage and medical conditions and releasing people into the united states, you take this new policy in with people

who have been turned down or turned away you will completely overwhelm whatever semblance of border security exists. let's be clear, the president and his team are doing this on purpose. this is not a mistake. he doesn't have dementia, not that he doesn't know what is going on, he knows. this is why he won't go to the border and kamala harris won't go to the border, they are doing this on purpose because if border security is overwhelmed then they get to come with their next plan which is to completely wipe out immigration law, turn it into a turnstile in the new york city public system so people can just come and freely without any deterrence and by the way all this is happening while the cartel continues to make billions of dollars trafficking people and sentinel into the united states everything away, this is a travesty not just for the southern border but the entire country. laura: they are doing it on purpose. rhonda santos agrees and greg

abbott agrees, this is purposeful, they want this to happen, thank you both and why are the media trying so hard to spin biden is european message? molly hemingway has some thoughts on that, she's here next in the uk is about to lockdown again even with 0 surge in cases, nigel farage has a warning to americans how that could happen here again.

♪ ♪ >> laura: now, as we've documented this week, president biden's big laura: as we documented this week, president biden's big european adventure was not just a total disaster, we are calling it the great american giveaway. it was the reaction of the media to the meeting with putin and how they framed the president's demeanor that was the most telling. >> biden talks us to putin. >> he went to geneva, confronted and autocrat, stood up to a credit. >> the legacy of talking to the russian leader. >> biden was really very definitive. laura: legacy defined by the media's usual sucking up, molly hemingway, senior editor at the

federalist, i find the more slavers the devotion the worst the reality. wireframe biden this tough guy persona way? >> good question. i think in recent weeks we saw the media ask president biden what flavor of ice cream he got, and he said chocolate chocolate chip, when he took a test drive a car they cheered like it was the most exciting thing they had ever seen. we know they are willing to go over the top in praise of him but in this case it is something altogether different because we all saw what happened, we saw he wasn't particularly strong against food and, we know the purpose of this summit was to create some guidelines for cyber attacks, terrorism attacks, the us. russia is committed, prudent denied they had any role. certainly not something where biden was tough or particularly

effective. the other thing, the media believes the test of whether a summit or a foreign trip is successful is whether european leaders have praised the president. that is a horrible metric when it comes to the american interests and interests of the american taxpayer, sometimes diplomacy involves not just giving everything away so people say nice things to you but having an agenda, seeking to get the objective you sent out and sometimes people don't love you for achieving that agenda but our media are not nearly able to comprehend that. the funny thing was when president said the media were the brightest people in the united states, clearly not true and their coverage of him is indicative how untrue that is. laura: interesting analysis from abc news about biden's tirade when he got mildly challenging question. >> president biden clearly

unhappy with one of the final questions, made it clear that he is not confident putin will change, he said many different ways that it will take months, it will take time to see if relations between the us and russia improve. >> the president made clear he is under no illusions. laura: they made it clear they were defending biden. they constantly feel the need to reframe or translate what he really meant, what this conveyed was none of that came through at all. >> it wouldn't be bad if they were trying to contextualize what the president said, if they were moderate in how they did that. they did the opposite the previous president where he would say something and they would go out of their way to misunderstand, claim he was saying something different from what he said and president biden who clearly struggled on this trip, he is aging and the whole world can see what is happening, they were working hard to frame

it as if things were better than they were and this idea that this was a tough question, this wasn't a tough question. it was a very easy question. republican presidents or elected officials are viciously attacked by the press corps and democratic officials are given every advantage by the press corps and it is embarrassing to watch, he likened handle that simple question and he did say he was confident. he spoke about the confidence that things could be better with vladimir putin and hadn't explains why. the media should have backed up caitlin collins, not defended biden from this gentle question. laura: saving the best for last, historian john meacham on msnbc. >> million sites, there was a kind of poetry in his prose. does that make sense?

not literally but, he was straightforward and by being so straightforward it seemed double. >> that's just embarrassing. at a loss for words. i can't use that phrase again after talking about the border. this is a pulitzer prize winning historian, also a biden speechwriter. >> i remember when he wrote a speech for president biden and praised biden for the speech he helped right, this is somewhat reserved for him but we should have a press corps that is able to critically analyze the president in a sustained and sober way. we didn't have that with the previous president. it was an ending here's hysteria and hostility and now people being so gentle and differential

it is not serving the american public. laura: thanks so much. what impressed media denizens the most was the president's popularity across the pond. >> wherever he goes, thank god we have a guy who's not going to insult teresa a may. >> keep the queen waiting. >> don't walk in front of the queen. jillian: the europeans finally have a president they can push around again. nigel farage, i have to say the queen loved donald trump, we know that and second biden may be more popular with macron, merkel and johnson but that's because he's giving them whatever they want to the united states is footing the bill for everyone else. >> that is true of nato even more than the g7 summit because after that, he went to brussels and donald trump called out nato because it has been around for 70 years.

everybody was paid 2% of gdp into defense. and the germans and the french are paying half of that, trump did, by causing a scene when he went to nato, he did manage to get some increased contributions, biden turned up and says his and everything wonderful. american taxpayers watching this, you will go on subsidizing europe's defense without them paying their fair share so that was humiliating, but you talked to a lot about the media coverage of biden's trip. let me tell you this. us president visiting the uk is normally a very big deal, something that innovates people, gets talked about, biden's this to the uk, i don't think most people even knew that he was you because he said nothing of substance whatsoever is all he did was agree with merkel,

macroand and the boris johnson agenda, they'll will first, globalists and he literally made no impression on the country at all. i've never seen it before. >> british it was catty came want everybody to believe the strategy of giving the eu everything you wants is a good thing. >> the european union is critical on a lot of fronts at the moment particularly because britain is no longer -- the european union is going to be dealing with china, the european union will be dealing with russia, the european union will be dealing with climate change, it is usually important partner for the united states at the moment and biden gets it. laura: the eu is going to take on china? is she kidding me? >> this is ridiculous. biden actually booked tough on

china compared to merkel and macroand all these european leaders who have completely sold out to the chinese communist party. boris johnson was saying we don't want to have a cold war with china. merkel was saying that china are our partners, macroin saying the same thing. catty k and the bbc are part of the problem and not the solution, the fact is even the tax proposal for a minimum corporate tax across the western world, even that is a eu proposal that biden is going along with and not the other way around. we got an american president, don't know about poetry in his prose as we heard earlier, he can barely string a sentence together, he is an embarrassment to the usa, is walked over by the french and germans in the strip achieved nothing. >> prime minister johnson

delayed your reopening over supposedly fears over the delta covid variant but as we see, covid showed that early signs of slowing, all the outbreaks are leveling off in these variant hotspots. your response and warning to americans on this issue. >> we got the indian delta variance, cases been rising rapidly those cases have been in the younger population most of them showed almost no symptoms whatsoever. among the over 50s the vast majority double vaccinated. hardly anybody is going to hospital, we should be learning to live with covid and government and mad scientists of got this incredible degree of power over our lives, they don't want to give it back and when i went to a few weeks ago i saw how we should manage it, we are going down the wrong road.

for them and to set a positive example for them. even though my youngest was apprehensive when i decided to do it he told me, i spoke to him, the importance of law enforcement, especially and on your mac -- telling me he's worried for your safety because of what is going on in this world. >> why the enforcement is why now? speech i used to be a generator. >> hold on. you used to be a janitor? that is awesome. >> i just got to get to know everyone who works here and everyone who works here are great people and i look up to them and want to be like them. laura: the number one reason police officers leave the force before retirement? >> no support, they have no support from their community or the administration or politicians.

laura: you change that dynamic out? >> we have a community that supports us, we have 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? >> pastor william bradley junior says we need to bridge the gap between police and the community and warns against the animosity we are seeing from some of the

leaders on the left. >> when you politicians argue for dismantling or defunding the police, what would that mean for your community? >> it would be devastating for any community because we do need law enforcement, community leaders, to make the community better places. >> reporter: this communities doing that, stepping up to help these officers. this academy at its facilities aren't cheap. it costs real money, so local businesses came to the rescue and according to sheriff chip wood there is no additional cost to the taxpayers. >> we could not have done this 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 and the building was upgraded so they are laying the groundwork. >> we can get police officers, nobody wants to be a police officer and as you saw we have our first class was the narrative that it can't be done has been shot which it can be done.

is that with the community getting to better, let's do this. >> what they've done here can be taken into any community, any county, any state and keep our communities safe is what it is about. >> what the drops of this academy is a high-tech simulator allowing the officers to focus on scenario-based training. >> what are we looking at? >> a simulator for school shootings to traffic stops to armed robberies to burglars in progress. >> does this make the heartbeat pretty fast? >> it can add a little bit of stress. >> police commands up, the building surrounded, there is no way out of the situation. clear the building. drop the weapon. >> this is a simulation. >> 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, enormous amount of dedication. and before people start judging what police officers are doing every day, walk 5 minutes in their shoes. i am not sure i could be a police officer after this but i have new respect for the technology and people doing this every day. >> it was incredible to be at the opening of this academy. recruits of every age, race, sex are there to make a difference. i was so impressed and i hope this is a model we will see replicated coast-to-coast, wonderful donors made that possible and we need more people stepping up.
