>> sean: a prison of the bay of pigs invasion. let not your heart be troubled. laura you have a great show. >> laura: was that sarah carter? >> sean: it was. >> laura: she is fabulous. >> sean: she is fluent in spanish. >> laura: awesome person. those people appreciate freedom and understand the cost of liberty. this should be recognized by every american. >> sean: many people told me to tell you hello. i was so inspired by the people.

it was incredible. what a great experience and how hard they are fighting for a cause, their family and friends and neighbors. >> laura: americans take note. thank you. i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from new york city tonight. we begin with a fox news alert. this is a scene in washington, d.c. just a few hours ago. 20 to 30 shots were fired on a popular street filled with well heeled washingtonians at a popular outdoor restaurants. two males were shot with nonlife threatening injuries. this comes less than a week after gun shots rang out outside of national park. the 101 homicides in her city should have been a wake up call but maybe it will take the feathers of the elite getting

rumsfeld for the mayor to realize she has a real problem on her hands. we will monitor this story and bring you details as we get them. we begin with biden's very small town hall. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." cnn's town hall with biden was a pathetic exercise of fawning and futility. during the 9 minute event, we saw a sitting president embarrass himself with a combination of lies and ignorance. we saw a television host nod along as the sad spectacle unfolded. >> the question is whether or not we should number a position where you, hmmm -- or why can't the, the experts say we know

this virus is in fact, hmmm -- it's going to be -- excuse me. we know why all of the drugs approved are not temporary but permanently. i expect that to occur quickly. >> you mean for the fda? >> the fda. >> laura: at a time of national security challenges facing the united states don lemon could have done a huge public service by asking tough, fair questions. instead most of the time he came off like an assisted living aide. there is no nice way to put this: joe biden is losing it. rarely capable of starting and finishing a complete thought without wandering off on a tangent like when he was asked about how the administration can promote vaccines in the african-american communities.

>> we have taken mobile vans and people to the communities and it's beginning to have some impact. we have to talk about it more. for example, i get in trouble because my wife is a philadelphia fan and eagles fan. i hosted the tampa bay buccaneers. there was a quarterback there. what is his name? >> laura: and the media stand in awe. >> if the presidency was a decathlon this is his event. >> his best traits were on display. >> that's why he beat donald trump last year. >> biden comes across in a way that is difficult to demonize. >> laura: difficult to figure out. contrast those reactions with how they poured over trump's every syllable. >> the starting point is trump

the man and his psychological state. many people i speak with, experts being he is evidencing dementia. >> he keeps obsessing over taking a test given to alzheimer's patients. it's a bizarre thing. >> even the president's own supporters may be unnerved. any effort to reassure people that the commander-in-chief is mentally stable? >> laura: but now. we are supposed to think that biden verbal crutches he leans on every time he loses his train of thought are really cute. >> i am not being a wise guy. i should not make fun. that's good. it's good. by the way that is happening. look, think about this. >> [applauding]. >> i am a big dog person, i am

sorry. i sincerely mean this. i am not joking. democracy has to stand up -- no, no, no, i really mean it. i am not joking. >> laura: i wish you were joking. it's just sad at this point for biden for the country and cnn. is it common journalistist practice to ignore when he fails to answer the question.c practice to ignore when he fails to answer the question. >> what do you say about a new round of mask mandates. >> when i got elected when pandemic we lost more people in the united states than ever major war we ever thought. that came to a screeching halt

for those who have been vaccinated. not a joke. >> laura: real questions with real follow-up? that's asking too much. you don't want to pressure biden. and drum roll, please. for my favorite spooning moment of the night. >> one of the things we are doing is what i have done -- my team has done. >> mr. president, i don't know if you heard you got applause correcting the i for we. >> it is we. >> that's a commendable attribute. >> laura: what else is commendable is telling the truth when president biden struggled with. on the minor issue of how current inflationary trends

threaten the recovery. >> to pump in all of this money into the economy cannot that add to? >> it relates to what is needed because we are growing. i don't know anybody including larry summers who is a friend of mine who is worried about inflation. >> laura: this larry summers? >> i was on the worried side about inflation. moved much faster and sooner than i had predicted. i think that has to make us nervous going forward. >> laura: it's worse than i thought. on the issue of vaccines. poor old joe was a contagion of contradictions. >> we have a pandemic for those who have not gotten the

vaccination. you won't get covid you have vaccinations. >> three of the democratic lawmakers tested positive for covid despies being filth. -- fully vaccinated. >> within the span of a few minutes. biden amended his earlier claim that vaccinated people will never get infected. >> if you are vaccinated you won't be hospitalized and you won't die. >> laura: there is a very, very small chance but that would undermine his pitch. biden claimed unlike trump he has the world eating out of his hands. >> those of you who travel

abroad, not a joke. not a joke. when i went to the g-7, all of the major democracies, i know a lot of them because of my role in the past. i said america is back. i am series, heads of state, they said are you really back? >> laura: reality. joe said america is back. with the stumbler in charge, america is on her back. russia, china, germany, they are laughing at us. they went from being on their toes and held accountable to rolling over the u.s. china hacked public and private internet count. as the "wall street journal" noted the powers announced no sanctions. a coalition against chinese

cyber attacks is nice but not in the result is nothing. that is merrick garland lead -- american leader ship under biden and biden gave a multi-million dollars gift to vladimir putin. every country is fighting for its own national interest except ours. biden's team is inviting u.n. monitors in toberate us on racism. when joe biden can't think of his own accomplishments, you have to hand it to him. he is good at playing his greatest hits. >> i have a lot of experience internationally. not good or bad, i just have.

chaired the foreign relations committee and did national security for the administration with barack obama. >> laura: that one thing he got right. like the old codger at the elk's lodge biden slips back into the past but has trouble responding to the presence. the media covering up for him. unwilling to hold him to the same brutal standards they held trump to. cnn lost their credibility. last night despite all of the production and fanfare, biden and lemon lost their time slot and lost it to this show by over half a million viewers even though we air 2 hours later. that's the "angle." joining me now is arkansas senator tom cotton.

the honeymoon is over and old joe doesn't know how to balance these issues without remembering or just lying about them. that's what happened last night. >> first i would congratulate on beating the cnn presidential town hall but you don't view that program as a worthy adversary. those clips you just played are not a man who has ping quaking in his boots standing up for american security. joe biden looks deeply confused. if we doesn't think 6 trillion dollars will add to more inflation and driving up the prices from groceries to gas. also if he thinks the rest of the world thinks america is back, he is more confused. joe biden is putting a kick me sign on uncle sam's back to

everyone around the world. >> laura: biden had another response to the soaring inflation that everyone needs to hear tonight. >> putting all of this money into the economy couldn't that add -- >> no, moodies said if we pass the other who things we will reduce inflation. >> laura: he says that 3 times. is that true especially given what romney and company are planing to do to give this big bipartisan sheen to biden on the infrastructure fill? >> no. joe biden is deeply confused. thinks 6 trillion dollars in spending won't ignite more inflation. they are giving out $300 weakly

bonuses to keep people from going to work. we have all of that money chasing after goods that are hard to find because we are paying people not to work. yes, we will have inflation and more if those bills pass. >> laura: senator, what is happening with this so-called infrastructure, bipartisan agreement, i think it's really shocking. nancy pelosi said she is not going to push forward on the infrastructure until the senate agrees to the framework for the 3.5-trillion dollars spending. why should the republicans march up to capitol hill give them a huge win on this bill when we have massive spending that will be crammed through leading to all of these other economic problems and a massive change to

the way we live our lives? why would republicans give them that? >> what nancy pelosi said was worse than you portrayed it. you said the budget framework. nancy pelosi is saying the house would not pass an infrastructure bill until the implementing spending bill is passed. 3.5-trillion dollars of spending. nancy pelosi did not do any of the senators working on this it any favors when she said she will hold hostage any bill until they pass a bill that include other things. like amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants if that bill as well. that's soft infrastructure that is far left liberal priorities. >> laura: the republicans are getting played every minute. thank you, senator. there was another moment from

last night's debate that was telling. has to do with something we just talked about. >> portman is a good man. a congressman from this area. i mean that. he and i are working on to getting this infrastructure bill passed. >> senator portman from ohio? >> look, you had 20 republicans sign a letter saying we need this deal. we think we need this deal. >> laura: the republicans insist that joe biden and chuck schumer are allies for infrastructure has given biden the opportunity to use in bipartisan gloss right before the road to reconciliation.

that will change our country forever. did that lead phillip kline to write the following? i love this piece. phillip joins me now. why do you think this is happening with this particular group? portman is retiring. others have had missteps like this. explain to our viewers what is really going on. >> it's perplexing. i think it's almost trying to be too clever. they convinced themselves if they get into bipartisan negotiation it would kill the bigger bill or convince the

moderate senators to oppose the bigger bill or strengthen their opposition's filibuster. from is no evidence at all. if anything this is making it more likely that the democrats get the whole 4 trillion dollars. manchin can say they worked for this great bipartisan bill and democrats have a smaller lift in their overall bill. if they tried to pass a 4 trillion dollars bill to begin with, maybe it would have been a lot hard tore get moderates. i think they are greasing the wheels for that. it makes no sense. normally in a negotiation when there is compromise, both sides give up something. in this case, republicans are going through this whole charade

after a negotiation and in the end democrats are just going to pass whatever they want anyway. what are democrats giving up? >> laura: republicans have zero leverage. what will they go to the voters with next year? i worked with them on the infrastructure and they rolled this on the 3.5-trillion dollars to make these new entitlements? they look like complete morons. >> to that point, i didn't just pull the word idiots out of nowhere. if you recall a few weeks ago, they had that big announcement in front of the white house and biden said i am a man of my word. i will stand by what we mean. a few hours later he said well, i won't sign these bills unless they both come to my desk. the bipartisan bill is in tandem. lindsey graham said you have to be kidding me? i will never support this. it makes us look like idiots

want biden releases a clarification like i am sorry i said the quiet part out loud. and lindsey graham is suddenly back on board. and mitt romney is saying we can trust joe biden. this guy went on national tv during an election and said that mitt romney was going to put black americans in chains. this is the guy mitt romney is suddenly saying he is a man of his word? >> laura: it's embarrassing. they have no ability they have no leverage. everyone american should see what is going on. phillip your piece was great. raymond arroyo took his tats to a sidewalk outside of a new york city gallery poised to sell hunter biden's art and a teacher

was fired for criticizing black lives matter on facebook. she is suing and she is here too tell us about it next.

so what's going on? [dog] i'm a talking dog. the other issue. [dog] oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 9 million dogs. [dog] nice. and... the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to.

when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chances of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. new neoplasias were observed in clinical studies and post-approval. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea. feeling better? [dog] i'm speechless. [dog] thanks for the apoquel. that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel. next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend. show me the olympics.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> laura: an illinois teacher filed a civil rights lawsuit against the former school

district that fired her after she criticized black lives matter last july. she taught for 20 years at a chicago school that she was so incensed at the violence in h city after the death of floyd, she said i want to move. she found white privilege as racist as the "n" word. according to the washington "times" she found out the school board was considering her termination and they voted to fire her. jeanie and her attorney join me now. you say you suffered substantial damages. explain what happened last summer. >> well, i have worked for the district for 20 years.

i took pride in my work. i loved my job and students. i am the sole supporter of my daughter. i was really upset about the rioting. protesting we need more but rioting none. people were supporting it. it was freaking me out. i made a few comments. i had a conversation with a young lady who told me to shut up with my white privilege. i wrote my longer post which bothered everybody. i might have more conservative views but there is nothing racist about what i said. of course i am being accused of being a racist which i have no history of whatsoever. >> laura: we reached out to the high school district. they had a statement that said we are aware of the lawsuit. at this point it's a legal issue. we can't comment.

our board aproved a resolution. the dismassal was behind your client's back? >> it was. thanks for having us. i am here as local counsel. what she did is protected speech. it's as american as apple pie and baseball. she came back from florida and was told she was under investigation. they had a closed door hearing and she was terminated. it's unusual to be terminated as a tenured teacher within 6 weeks of an investigation beginning. >> laura: a tenured teacher who had perhaps posted a different

message, perhaps supportive. protests, not the violence but the protests and mentioning things like white privilege. you probably would have gotten a better parking spot. that's my theory on this. have you ever had from any colleagues in the school district or are they terrified about speaking out? >> i think they are terrified. three people are my friends. i stayed in touch with them but only heard from two people. that was heart breaking. they are scared. everyone is scared. it took a whole year to get to this point because i called many lawyers and many people don't want to touch it. even trumps lawyers got demonized. it's okay if you are a murderer but you can't defend a teacher. >> laura: christine the loss of

income and loss of future income after being dismissed for what is personal political speech, that has to be substantial amount of income. if you can prove punitive damages that goes to a whole new level? >> that's right. we are seeking punitive damages against many defendants as individual. people have to realize what my client was accused of harming students. how were her words -- >> laura: what? >> correct. they decided she was harming students. in chicago in memorial day of 2020 it was crazy. there was a riot. the mob and looting. she was terrified as an american citizen. she teaches diversity of opinion in her classes. the board found she was harming students and talking about racial issues.

i can guarantee you, i wondber this. are they going through the social media posts of all of the other teachers and what about the capitol riots in january? >> laura: i hope they all kept their text messages because you will have some wild deposition in this case. we if to st. louis where the out of control circuit attorney is putting her citizens at greater risk. her prosecutors failed to show up for hearings on a murder case forcing the judge to dismiss them! foxes matt fin has been following this story and has the details. >> police are looking for a man in custody on first degree

murder charges.>> police are lo in custody on first degree murder charges.details. >> police are looking for a man in custody on first degree murder charges. the prosecutors failed to show up and the judge set him free. one missed a hearing and resigned. police should a new warrant for campbell's arrest. writing the circuit attorney's office is the party responsible for protecting public safety. they abandoned its duty to prosecute those it charges with crimes. kim's office responded with:

two other cases were dropped against murder suspects. the case fell apart or the prosecutor was a no show. kim's office said those charges were not substantiated. today the mother of a man killed in st. louis told fox news that st. louis city prosecutors are negligent and she was kept in the dark with a plea deal struck with her son's alleged killer. >> your office has a new prosecutors which your office did not make me aware of. the prosecutor was himself not prepared to handle my son's case. >> the head of the st. louis police officers association said people there on the street in st. louis will see murder suspects walking free because of her handling of these cases. a murder suspect on the loose.

>> laura: unbelievable. thank you. we for new york city which happens to be where the art gallery hunter biden hopes to sell his art for a small fortune. we sent raymond arroyo down to find out what is going on. that can't miss report is next.

.>> laura: it looks empty. its not often we find ourselves in new york city and it's not often that the president's son prized art high and its displayed down the street. we sent raymond arroyo downtown to see what the motion was about. >> this soho-gallery is offering

hunter biden's collection for up to half a million dollars a painting. will people pay that much. we asked new yorkers. this work of art is selling up for half a million dollars? >> i think i could make that with some ink. >> you question the artistic measures? >> yes. >> what does it make you think of? >> popular flowers. >> hunter biden painted this. >> hunter biden? >> $400,000?

what do you think? >> i think under $100,000. >> what about this? another piece. the same artist. >> my mom could paint that. >> it looks like something my daughter used to paint. in elementary school. >> [laughing]. >> a tough crowd. hunter biden painted this with his own blow torch? that doesn't change the price. >> maybe just because of the name. >> 75, 25,000? >> maybe an asset to sell it. >> he is not an artist. i don't think so. >> what if i told you it was created by hunter biden, joe

biden's son. would that increase the value? >> what would i get for the donation? >> [laughing]. >> there is an interesting question. >> what would you get? >> i don't know. >> what do you think it's worth? >> not much. depends on who is paying for it. >> the fact that hunter biden painted it? >> you don't care about hunter biden being the artist? >> absolutely not. >> $100. >> i could care less about hunter biden. >> no matter how much people were willing to pay for this, there are ethical concerns here. the white house said they were avoiding any hint of influencing pedalling keeping the buyers of hunter's art anonymous. hunter biden will speak at two buyer events. the white house spokesman responded this way. >> how does this square with the

goal of keeping him in the dark about the buyers of his art as a means to prevent any appearance of influence? >> any conversations will be left to the gallery. in the agreement we announced a few weeks ago. >> laura: wait a second. it's not about what the galleries knows. all hunter biden needs to do, dad, this good guy. lives in long islands. he might have interesting stuff. come on! >> [overlapping talking]. >> is he going blindfolded into events with perpective buyers. if we didn't have a pattern of this influence peddling with joe biden and his son hunter sharing bank accounts and hunter paid

and of his bills. they met with millionaires on air force 2 in 2014. this is a partner of corruption that the white house needs to dispel. this art scheme is as messy and blotted and checkered as one of hunter's paintings. >> laura: it looks like the coronavirus. >> this looks like an std under glass. i have never seen one. this would be wonderful in your guest bathroom and i expect a check for a million dollars on tuesday. >> laura: how many paintings will be bought by the chinese. >> you can forward it. >> laura: no corruption. eric trump could not raise money for st. jude's hospital. >> they have to put this down. >> laura: we have to go.

hunter, go into another line of work. the old-fashioned corruption will do. one tv doc hasn't been more alarmist but wants freedom snuffed out. we will expose her. could the biden administration consider taking us back ward on covid? we predicted it. stay there. e-related macular den 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.

>> laura: cnn a medical expert who is a former planned parenthood panel. she was disappointed joe biden way not alarmist enough last night. >> president biden said if people are vaccinated you can take off your mask. >> laura: today she offered the biden administration some free advice. >> there is one thing the biden administration can be doing right now that would change the equation with incentives to use proof of vaccination. vaccine mandates will have to come. >> laura: what a nightmare she is. then the victory lap. >> i am relieved that the white

house is considering to revice their guidance. the circumstances on the ground have changed. the science has changed. you expect that will policy will changed. >> laura: 100% of the country could be vaccinated and there would be another reason to mask everyone. take precautions but tune out this doctor and the rest of the so-called expert class. speaking of masks, there is a push from the biden administration and the cdc for little kids to wear them in schools this fall. let me understand: they argue that kids need to wear masks to protect themselves but for a year we were told that masks only protect you from spreading covid. which is it?

joining us is a doctor a professor of medicine at texas a&m. every loss is tragic. just over 300 children have tragically died with covid. of those we don't know how many died of covid since the cdc won't tell us. fewer than died most years from the flu. your reaction? >> well, things have changed and quickly. last time i was on we were at 30% delta variant. now we are at 83% delta variant. it's a different viral syndrome. it's more mild. i expect we will manage right through. 10% of our peek back in december. we are having a mild out break. we will be able to treat our way through it. i don't think we need drastic measures.

>> laura: the biden administration still no talk of natural immunity for those exposed to the virus. >> 25% people who took the vaccine had natural immunity. they were needlessly vaccinated. they should know who has natural immunity. they are fully protected. >> laura: doctor, a voice of reason and calm. when we come back, final thoughts about those other alarmists out there. don't go away.

kenneling all the clarity of joe biden. >> we named our committee and it was bipartisan and we have a

quorum. staff is being hired to do the job. we're there to seek the truth. we're not there to get the truth, not to get trump, t r u, truth. trump. that seems to be what the other side is obsessed with. >> t r -- you spell it with your hands.
