it's of course the best country in the world that we have the blessing to live in the united states of america and have a beautiful and very happy independence day. thanks to sean and his team and i will see him next time. in gear, everyone, have a great weekend. ♪ ♪ >> i'm jason chaffetz and for laura ingraham and this is a aura ingraham and this is a >> this is a special edition of the ingraham angle. the largest teachers union in the country pushing for your kids to be part of a medical experiment. doctor j is here with why this is dangerous. violent crimes against children are spiking. biden strikes out and disney becoming the most inclusive place on earth.

time for the friday follies but first whatever hunter biden's shady business dealings make headlines, joe is quick to trot out the same tired line. >> i've never spoken to my son, never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. >> you stand by your statement you did did not discuss your son's oversee business decisions? >> i stand by that. jason: that is what biden told us about his knowledge of hunter's role on the border but emails from hundred's laptop reveal he set up the meat and greet between a top burisma executive, joe also use that line when asked about his son's dealings in china but hunter's

old partner, tony bobalinsky came on. >> president biden said he never discussed business with hunter. that is false. i have firsthand knowledge about this because i directly dealt with the biden family including president biden. jason: the white house is using the same line to swat away news, questions about mexican billionaire carlos swift but if president biden didn't know, why did hunter's laptop have pictures of the former vice president and his son standing with carlos slim and others in the naval observatory, the vice president's home at the time. for by taxpayers. mercedes schlapp, former white house strategic communications director and trump 2020 campaign advisor. also, trial attorney and lawyer

and senior columnist at townhall.com. according to the new york post, fox news has not independently confirm this for three years after the meeting, hunter texted his business partner, quote, spoke to my dad about slim, his partner replied that sounds so leap good. how are we supposed to continue to believe that president biden knew absolutely nothing? >> i'm always up to believe that president biden knows the nothing. there's a huge chance that he has forgotten about this but america's number one matlock superfan has a track record of this kind of petty corruption. mister 10% for the big guy has his fingers in a bunch of pie

and it is getting tiresome. what is really tiresome is that the mainstream media isn't looking at, the new york post, fox, some other conservative outlets or neutral outlets looking at and saying this is wrong, this is bad and no surprise, doesn't carlos slim on a big chunk of the new york times? the fix is in and the american people are getting tired of it. jason: you know how things go, mercedes in the operations here but hunter biden has problems with drugs, he's had problems with guns, russian prostitutes taking money from the former wife of the former mayor of moscow, dealings in china and ukraine and now we're finding out mexico, suddenly hunter biden air force 2 and flies with his dad at taxpayer expense to mexico. how do they get away with this?

>> it was president biden who said hunter biden is the smartest guy he knows but let me tell you something. i think under biden continues, the evidence continues to grow that you are seeing this business dealings between hunter biden with the possibility of president biden having this influence with different business dealings that hunter biden had to deal with so i've got to tell you it is troubling, it is hard to watch, where you have president biden saying he didn't know anything about these business dealings, as the new york post is reporting and we are seeing more evidence come out from this laptop that the media did not cover during the 2020 election. it is showing there are major concerns, hunter has notes showing that there were these

conversations or conversations happening between the vice president, hunter biden and his potential business partners unit was largely ignored because the democrats are so good at attacking anything republican yet when there is a double standard here when it comes to democrats. in essence you have the biden inc. getting away with a lot and there are more questions that need to be answered in this is what the white house is going to have to deal with in the next coming weeks. jason: one of the damning pieces of evidence, fox news is independently confirm them but the allegations of what we are reading about in the new york post is jeff cooper, the business partner of hunter biden was on air force 2 traveling with the vice president and

hunter biden to mexico so if you don't know about what is going on and don't ask any questions, how in the world was he on that air force 2 flying into mexico? >> these are great questions. i am a trial lawyer. i would love to be able to have a case with such a mountain of evidence but of course it is not going to go anywhere. the president said his son is the smartest guy he knows and maybe that is true, look what he's getting away with. he is a hop, snipped and snort from world domination, just needs to move into a volcano lair, it is outrageous. >> i want to give the last word to mercedes but i have 10 seconds, where does this go from here? >> you had obama's concerned about hunter's involvement back in the day when president obama was in charge, this is not going away, the white house press team has to be prepared to answer these tough questions but the real question will be will the liberal media start investigating hunter biden and president biden in these foreign dealings?

>> they need to ask those questions, have a wonderful independence day holiday, fourth of july is just around the corner so the liberal media is commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the chinese communist party. abc news tweeted party time, china staged a night of political theater with a mass performance to sing the praises of the cpp, cnn joined the party with this headline, the cpp is about to turn 100 but xi will be the real star and here is cnbc, xi seizes the chance to lead china to greater power but amid all the accolades from the us press corps xi issued the stark warning. >> we will never allow any foreign forces to bully, press or enslave us. anyone who dares to try to do that will have their heads bashed bloodied against the great wall of steel.

jason: joining us is florida congressman brian mass, house foreign affairs comedy member, member of the united states military. our own media is celebrating xi, what runs through your mind when you hear that? >> celebrate 100 years of oppression and starvation under communist china or celebrate 240 years of freedom and independence in the united states of america i will go with america on that but what i would say about his tough talk is a lot of tough talk but when donald trump was doing that we didn't hear anything out of him. interesting be talk we are hearing not just out of xi but putin as well and the fact they are not going to fire anymore warning shots or take any of this. interesting how they view the two leaders. jason: china seems to be

investing heavily in our own us media. look what's going on with time magazine and i've got to tell you this is concerning. it was china daily pouring 700,$000 in the washington free beacon reporting that is going into push china's propaganda. >> reporter: hollywood, the media, liberal media no balls what so ever. let's not talk about this ambiguously, let's talk about the top gun sql, maverick, his bomber jacket, they had to take off a patch that had taiwan on it, the fast and the furious, however many of those, he accidentally made the mistake of

calling taiwan a country, he apologized endlessly in mandarin to the chinese over that. let's put this in context. if during the cold war imagine if dan ackroyd and chevy chase had to apologize for fighting the russians inspires like us or roger moore and other people who play james bond if they had to apologize for taking on the russians, or you take your pick of films where hollywood had balls during the cold war to take on russia but now they will bend over backwards for china. jason: spies like us, glad you called that out, that is a good movie. i haven't watched that in a while. we are about to celebrate independence day. you served our nation in the military, lost your legs. what does the flag mean to you in your family? >> when i look at 50 stars and 13 red and white stripes what i see is the opportunity to wake up every single day and make today better than yesterday. it doesn't matter if yesterday you lost two legs and a finger.

in america you get to wake up tomorrow and decide for your self that today is better than yesterday, this week is better than last week, this month is better than last month, this year is better than last year, or you don't and that is america. pete: i can't thank you enough for your service in our military and the sacrifice you and your family have gone through. you are an inspiration to a lot of us. i hope people learn about your story, the sacrifices you've made, the positive belief in the united states of america, that is what we should be celebrating. god bless you and thank you. all right. the media glorifies communist china, our own southern border is falling apart thanks to president biden's reckless policies, don't take my word, that is what a smugglerhall.com last night.

jason: biden's policies are emboldened in criminals and human trafficking and he is getting sued by law enforcement. texas database agents are taking the administration to court for preventing them from enforcing the current law. joining us is oklahoma senator james lankford. thank you for being with us. i have the privilege of serving with you in the united states congress. i know you're passionate about this issue, the media team seems to be ignoring what is going on on the border. what are you seeing up close and personal? >> i've been to the border 3 times in the last four months to see what is going on, this is an area i track a lot. amazing was into liquid. the smugglers are excited about

president biden. when donald trump goes to the border the border patrol agents are excited to see donald trump. we've got to figure out loyal to the smugglers or the border patrol agents. here is what i have seen. the wall is unfinished, president biden has hired contractors to watch the steel so people don't steal the gates and everything that will probably never be installed under president biden. there's an easy way to secure that seal, install it. the levees are down in texas because that was part of the construction as well. border patrol chief was effective under donald trump has now been fired by president biden, they are changing the to allow more people in, looking at contacting people donald trump deported because they were criminal aliens, the rules changed, you can now come back, we have the highest number of people across the border the last 3 months in a row and on top of that president biden

stopped enforcing law, everyone is focused on the border, we have 6000 ice agents in the country, they only made 3000 deportations all of last month because the ice agents are being told to stand down. imagine 6000 ice agents, 3000 deportations in a month because they cannot do their jobs, not just the border and opening up the border but stopping enforcement inside the country. jason: i hope people appreciate what this means, the criminal element coming here are not being deported. there were more than 60,000 instances where they got caught doing something illegal and some of them served time but were ordered by a federal judge to leave but they don't do that. now the people that were

deported are actually being invited, literally invited by president biden to come back into the united states. >> they are being invited to come back, they are looking at donald trump, he just enforced the law. he was right in the way he was doing it, he was enforcing the law. president biden stepped in and says we are not going to enforce the law and assumes things will turn out right. what happens is chaos when you don't enforce the law. these border patrol agents are so good at what they do they are not going over the top, they have families, they care about people and compassionate but they care about american law. if there's anything we can stand for around the fourth of july, the most basic principle, the law is king in our country, the founding principle of our founding document, we need to enforce the law. i stepped up and said i'm not going to allow any more dhs folks to come through in the process of selection and confirmation, i will block every one of them until they start enforcing the law and get the border done and stop having them guide pieces, put the fence up. we already paid for, get that

done. jason: to put a hold on those people, look at this headline from the daily caller about the types of people that are coming in here and again illegal elements -- immigrants steel guns, ammo and food, customs and border patrol agents responded to a report about a home that was burglarized, these aren't just all nice sweet people, this is human trafficking, a lot of drugs coming through as well. >> record amounts of drugs coming across the border, customs and border protection stated border patrol, we are seeing that on our streets and it is not just folks in the northern triangle. that's this big statement, the big lie coming out of the administration these are just poor folks out of the northern triangle, just this year over 100 different countries have illegally crossed our border just this year, people are

coming from all over the world because they know they can pay the cartels, come across the border and come in because president biden is opening the borders. we've got to enforce the law. jason: thanks for everything you do, have a wonderful independence day, appreciate your work on the border, the largest teachers union the country trying to force all children to get the covid vaccine, doctor j is here, the left targets your kids, letting crime run rampant in the streets. heather mcdonald breaks down the latest shocking data next.

>> ♪ ♪ >> from the moment schools locked down in the spring of 2021 teachers unions a >> from the moment schools locked down in 2020 teachers unions have been putting hurdles up to stop kids from getting back in the classroom and the largest teachers union in the nation considering a new and potentially dangerous roadblock to reopening. the national education association will soon vote on supporting mandatory covid 19 vaccinations for all students and staff before returning to face-to-face instruction in the fall. the union is also considering

advocating safety measures like social distancing, masking and proper ventilation. they want to force non-fda approved vaccinations on kids and then force them to mask up and socially distance anyway. that is that science. it is another form of child abuse. the professor of medicine at stanford university, the teachers union, do they look at the science, they are supposed to be the party of science but i don't see them having those decisions given by science. >> the last year we've seen moves by the teachers union kept schools closed in many states, in my home state of california my children for a year and a half admissible in person schooling, certainly not normal schooling. florida kept schools opened despite teachers union suing to keep them closed. what we have doesn't make sense from a scientific perspective because teachers already vaccinated, they are not

endangered by the students, the students themselves are giving these families forcing them to make a decision about a vaccine that may have had hesitation about especially given evidence about myocarditis in young people with the vaccine and we are going to take schooling away for another year. it is just wrong. undermines trust in public health and in vaccines like mandated rather than give good information about it. >> these things aren't even yet approved for the youngest children. i want to get your input and take because business studies coming out about carbon dioxide problems, the problem with children wearing these masks even after just a few minutes, it is impacting these children, isn't it? >> it is.

a fantastic study recently published in the medical association where they measured wearing masks in children for just a few minutes concentrates the carbon dioxide and that can have lots of negative consequences on children. if you've ever worn a mask for a while you get a headache, that's probably the reason concentrated carbon dioxide. you and experience in the pandemic and imagine doing it to children wearing it all day long. the evidence on masking children is getting worse and worse, i don't know why we do it. it is seeming like a form of child abuse. jason: even on airplanes one of my pet peeves, i have a granddaughter and she's 3 years old, the idea that she has to wear a mask for hours on end on an airplane which is supposed to have the cleanest air on the planet. >> it does, i don't understand it. masking a 2-year-old or 3-year-old really is -- it doesn't even -- if you have a 3-year-old you know they don't keep the masks on very well because they fidget with it.

it is uncomfortable and they asked him to keep it on extensively. it's not protecting anybody against covid and it is requiring almost putting these poor kids through a lot of pain for nothing. jason: we want to see kids back in school, the science actually prevail. there's lots of things we could be doing but i got to tell you what, part of the research i did, we spent 600,$000 on pandemic relief buying two gazebos in guantánamo bay, $5 million for miscellaneous foreign contractors in russia, all this money, billions of dollars has nothing to do with covid relief. >> did you say gazebos in guantánamo bay? probably doesn't spread covid all that much and you are outdoors but you could probably spend the money better. >> gazebo start, or whatever it

is can probably -- you do some great work, appreciate your perspective. have a great and wonderful independence day. let's turn to the massive crime waves sweeping american citizens claiming lives including the lives of children, last night in chicago just last night where the violence is spiraling out of control a 1-month back baby and a 9-year-old girl were shot in the head. both are in critical condition. in st. louis four children were shot and wounded within an 8 hour period and this comes as the state of california releases shocking crime statistics for 2020 showing a 20% increase in child murders. that's knowledge on all california saw homicides explode by 31% just last year's state and local politicians cave to the pro crime agenda of the black lives matter organization.

joining me is heather mcdonald, senior fellow at the manhattan institute and author of the war on cops. these are children and in some cases babies, being shot. why are the democratic leaders were running these big cities making this a priority. their policy prescriptions are not getting it done. >> it is absolutely horrifying. the press doesn't give a damn about black lives, the democrats don't give a damn about black lives, the only time they care is if somebody is shot by a cop. this carnage to went on last year, there were 4 dozen black children gunned down in drive-by shootings, i don't know a single one of those deaths protested by a black lives matter activist. the media ignores it because it doesn't fit their narrative. cops are demoralized, being assaulted at record rates, there has been a 91% increase in ambush assaults on officers this year and are being told

religiously by president biden and the media that they are racists for going to high crime neighborhoods and trying to save lives, they are backing off of proactive policing and when the cops stepped down the criminal step up and that is happening, carrying guns with impunity and using them with impunity. they know there's no consequences because they are saying we are not going to prosecute low-level misdemeanor crimes, we are not going to prosecute gun crimes and the democrats have unleashed a monster and it is hard to get back. jason: let's listen to stephanie and her take on this defund the police movement. >> republicans co-opted this idea that defund the police means wiping out police forces. what it does is enhance and empower law enforcement. you and i know that defund the police message is not translating correctly across a

lot of american homes. jason: can you try to dc for this? the idea that defunding the police empowers the police. can you try to explain this to us? >> defund stephanie and see if she feels empowered and enhanced. this is orwellian logic, the fact is we are living and experimental we tried it. whether or not an agency defunded the police the police are so demoralized, attrition is enormous, cops are leaving the profession in droves because they are being assaulted on the streets and being assaulted psychologically by our president, by our attorney general and the media. we have in essence defunded and depopulated the police department and the result is crime. the democrats and academics that are funding, fueling this hatred believe crime is racist fiction, it is not.

the bodies speak for themselves. jason: i hope every police officer, men and women and their families know that the american people of them, care for them and have got there back despite some of these wild antics being thrown out from the left. we do love our police officers, thank you so much. coming up, disney's gender neutral fireworks show, raymond arroyo breaks it down on friday follies coming up next.

>> ♪ ♪ >> it's friday. jason: it is friday. that means time for friday follies. for that we turn to raymond arroyo. biden has a pretty rough day

today. >> reporter: did indeed. the president's difficulty arranging his thoughts, even reading them from a prompter remains a challenge. >> since i took office our recovery -- i wish 600,000 jobs paid 600,$000 a year. 600,000 jobs per month. this is much -- this much is already clear. last time the economy grew at this rate was 1984 and ronald reagan was telling us it is mourning in america. it is close to afternoon. the sun is coming out. >> if the sun were coming out it would be don. the president is fixated on this idea that july 4th is about going to ballgames. he was practically stuck on this notion today. >> we should you all a happy fourth of july, people will go to ballgames, sit in stadiums, all across america people going

to ballgames and doing good things. >> i'm trying to figure out what ballgames have to do with economic recovery. you were in congress? is this a leading indicator of economic prosperity, attendance at baseball games? >> and president biden's world i have no idea what he thinks the metrics are. did try to attempt to tell his own baseball story when the dodgers were at the white house today. >> he tends to latch onto one idea and phrase and repeats it, this is called perseveration. it can be a sign of cognitive trouble. in case you need to notice the phrase, you know, you know. >> i hit one off of the right centerfield wall, bounced off the wall, 368, i don't know what it is exactly now but off the wall. i'm rounding -- to make a long story short -- anyway. you're going to take this down in a minute but hold on a second.

you know, sometimes -- at any rate. >> the other day president biden was signing and introduced maxine waters but he didn't call her that. >> speaker pelosi, maxine waters and garcia. oh! how are you? senator, i hope - i am kidding. i'm not. >> it would be better if he were getting. one is not running for california senate. she's in her 80s, she would be replacing diane feinstein who is in her late 80s. this is not ushering in the next generation of leadership. jason: i want to turn to the happiest place on earth, disney world used to introduce its fireworks this way. >> ladies and gentlemen, boys

and girls, welcome to disneyland park. >> that introduction will be replaced with good evening, dreamers of all ages. they say they are trying to be more inclusive. if they really wanted to be more inclusive they would say good evening suckers of all ages, debtors of all ages, those of us who have actually been in those lines trying to buy food, that is closer to reality. this is kind of odd because in the most recent iteration when i was at disney world they would say welcome boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen and dreamers of all ages. boys and girls, dreamers of all ages already captured everybody else. if we are worried about gender specific titles maybe the voyage of the little mermaid should be voyage of the little murder

person. if you broke those down it is pretty entertaining. before i let you go for media is obsessing over one international story, kim jong-il and's weight loss. >> is looking thinner and thinner with people being interviewed saying they were heartbroken about how gaunt he looked. >> north koreans are heartbroken over the emaciated appearance of their leader. >> many people heartbroken when they saw that the leader has become much thinner and saying it brought people to tears. >> i am sure maria osmond is trembling at home worried about the nutrisystem spokesman. south korean intelligence tells us he weighs 310 pounds. if he topped 302, no reason to stop the presses, they have food shortages in that country. the average korean, you already know this, they eat about 445 calories a day. i'm not shitting any tears over

the body mass fluctuation. >> we can see how that goes. thank you so much. coming up, the worst media offenders of the week, that is next, stay there.

>> it's jason: it is easy to become numb to media bias the ingraham angle is keeping track of the worst offenders of the wii, former cnn commentator and contributing editor of the american spectator and the president of accuracy in media. first up, m s nbc's claire mccaskill doesn't want to watch fireworks on the fourth of july. the has a great new deranged tradition. >> come to start a new tradition in my family on the fourth of july and every fourth of july going forward we are going to watch that video the new york times put together of january 6th. jason: what a twisted way to celebrate our nation's independence.

>> i can only imagine, if this was 1775 she would have been supporting the british because she would have been opposed to the boston tea party and opposed to the battle of bunker hill. there is a whole list -- there's a whole list of videos and movies about all of those that maybe she should sit down and take a look at. this is unbelievable and maybe even she might want to watch the interview lawrence jones did with the father of a 7-year-old girl who was shot to death in chicago in 2020 and see just what is going wrong in a democratic runs he. watch that video. jason: what was your take on claire mccaskill? >> reporter: i am not going to the july 4th barbecue at that household, what a bummer that is. we are somber on memorial day and 9/11.

how is she somber on independence day? the declaration of independence, our freedom is the greatest advancement in human liberty in the history of civilization and it puts a frown on her face. jason: let's go to the next one, matthew dowd on domestic insurrection fears. >> there's 300 million guns in america that we have spread across the country and that concerns me. i'm concerned january 6th was just a pulmonary event for the worst thing that could happen for loss of life, a very scary thing. >> this shows how paranoid doubt and the rest of the media elite

are. what is your take? >> since when were progressives against mass violence? last summer nearly every city in the country was getting burned down and these guys were literally and metaphorically fanning the flames to the best of their ability. they even had celebrities tweeting and breaking about paying bail money for the rioters. we had thousands of accuracy in media activists who tattletale to their parents on some. we called there agents and publicists and send emails and told them to cut it out and they did but i never can take it seriously when these people claim to be against violence after what we saw last year. >> in terms of what happened there was a princeton study, violence in 48 of the 50 largest cities in the united states in 2020. the guardian reported 11 americans were killed while participating in these riots and another 14 died in related

incidents. where is the concern for that? jason: you had kamala harris just last year working to bail these people out and put them back on the street as quickly as possible. jeffrey tube and has the most ironic comment of the week. >> the great reputation destroy your. everyone who served in his administration came away with a diminished reputation. jason: he is the expert on diminished reputations, i buy that, should he be talking about this on national television? >> tube and is a former colleague. how do i say he made a big mistake, bigger than big time on television? i can't really say it but the

main point is donald trump served honorably as president of the united states, the people who worked for him, i know lots of them are proud of him and will always be proud of him, big mistake here. jason: i want to give you a quick take on that. >> i want jeffrey tube and giving me pr advice and hunter biden as a life coach. to learn more in that regard he must know it all. jason: all right. we better just leave it there. a special fourth of july message from one of the greatest presidents ever, the last bite coming up next.

>> we end tonight with these >> we end with these words from president ronald reagan. >> things that unite us, america's past of which we are

proud, hopes and aspirations for the future, much love of country. these things outweigh what divides us. we are one nation under god, black-and-white, one nation individual bowl, republican and democrat, we are all americans. jason: as we head into the fourth of july weekend. the greatest country on the face of the planet, teach your children to respect the flag and each other. where your stars and stripes and most importantly remember those words from president reagan, the things that unite us far outweigh what divides us. don't let anybody stifle your love of country.

appreciate her allowing me to sit in. catch the latest episode of jason in the house, you can listen to podcasts, jason in the house, check the book the never let a crisis go to waste, the truth about disaster liberalism. i will be hosting sunday morning futures at 10 am eastern, thanks for watching this special edition of the ingraham angle. angle." >> i am interested in your thoughts heading into the 4th of july weekend. >> we will start a new family tradition. every 4th of july we will watch the video that the "new york times" put together of january 6th. >> nice. and we will watch video of you being dumb as a stump. >> [cheers and applause].
