things will be better, laura is on next. >> laura: happy warriors. i'll take the baton from you, i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. a complete takedown of bidens covid hail mary from red state governors and medical experts. why bidens $3.5 trillion boondoggle might be the last chance to resurrect his moribund presidency, and newt gingrich, you won't want to miss that. donald trump just endorsed the republican he wants to see take on liz cheney in wyoming, she is here exclusively tonight. but we begin with one of the most heinous displays we've ever seen from a president, i'm talking of course about joe biden's angry, anti-american vaccine mandate pushed earlier today. but first i think it's important to show you how this conversation has evolved in just the past year.

it was last august when tony fauci assured us this type of move would never happen in the usa. >> i don't think you'll ever see a mandating of vaccines particularly for the general public, you cannot force someone to take a vaccine. >> laura: even joe biden who ran on a platform to crush covid promised it was too radical to even consider. >> no, i don't think it would be mandatory, i wouldn't demand it was mandatory. >> laura: the press secretary spoken even more blunt terms, it was a long time ago. >> that's not the role of the federal government, that is the role that institutions, private sector entities and others may take. >> laura: just like everything else biden promised, it all turned out to be alive. >> i'm announcing the department of labor develop an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80 million

workers to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated. or show a negative test at least once a week. >> laura: to they have the authority to do this under the department of labor? it is true, the labor department does have authority over workplace safety through osha, in this case the rule would be temporary and you can bet it would be subject to lawsuits. the federal government chose to exempt over 600,000 u.s. postal service workers from these rules work out here something else to consider. biden adopted an emergency temporary standard for health care workers back in june, remember that. there have been pressures since he took office to adopt a rule for all industries but he didn't do it, but now he is doing it, why? is he admitting that he failed

fighting covid? finally, 75% of the adult population has gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, nearly 65% have gotten both doses. the numbers grow every day and they don't take into account those who have natural immunity. why do we even need a vaccine mandate when this is the threshold that they told us all along was needed? now we know why, to see the less fragile egos and ever-increasing thirst for power and to keep the gravy train rolling they need to keep vaccinated americans ever fearful of the unvaccinated masks. joining me now are two governors who have been opposed to the vaccine mandates as soon as they saw it coming. nebraska governor pete ricketts and mississippi governor kate reed. your reaction to the announcement for the president today in the overall tone of it. >> i was very disappointed but not surprised, the president and all of his team for months and

months were telling the american people they would never issue a vaccine mandate and the president is going back on his word and has done the exact opposite. the thing that struck me as i saw him saying that was we live in america and you would expect words like that from the president may be of communist china or north korea, but you don't expect words like that coming out of the mouth of the president of the united states. >> laura: president biden knows who to blame, governor ricketts, for the current covid outbreak. he blames governors like you. >> elected officials actively working to undermine the fight against covid-19. these pandemic politics as i refer to them or making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die. if these governors won't help us beat the pandemic i will use my powers as president to get them out of the way. >> laura: there is no tenth amendment issue there, your

response. >> absently outrageous, the president has forgotten we live in america, he things we live in the soviet union. hypocrisy of this is unbelievable. we have weekly phone calls with the governors in the white house staff, the president has never once been on any of those. and yet he has the gall to tell us we aren't fighting a pandemic, here in nebraska we have the third lowest fatality rate among people who have gotten coronavirus. the president is going to use the coercive powers of the federal government to tell us how to do this. nebraska will push back and fight back with any tool we can find against this huge and stunning overreach of federal power. >> laura: he keeps saying that this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated and yet at the same time, he admits that his authority to mandate vaccines is limited. >> my administration has already

required of teachers at the schools run by the defense department, because i have the authority as president of the federal system, the defense department and the interior department to get vaccinated. that's authority i possess. >> laura: will your state consider legal action here? >> without question we will consider legal action, lawyers are already communicating amongst one another -- here's the disappointing thing. the president tried to pick a political fight with republican governors when the reality is he is picking a real fight with hardworking americans. 80 million americans, this president is saying to them you can either get vaccinated or i as one individual is going to threaten your ability to feed your family and that is just wrong.

>> laura: but he says he wants to protect the workers, it's about protecting them and this is about their safety, they do all sorts of things to ensure their safety. covid is a hazard in the workplace, why isn't this under their purview? >> this is a power grab by the federal government, we seen this time and time again by the biden administration. we have seen their unwillingness to attack the border crisis, we saw their incompetence when it came to the withdrawal from afghanistan, now we are seeing the strong desire to try to make decisions on behalf of individual americans. we believe in freedom and individual liberty. this is going to not help more people get vaccinated. in our state, we've seen six or seven consecutive weeks of week over week rises and overall vaccination rates, that's because people are looking at the data, they are making an

individual decision and they are making a good one. him i don't understand with the president would do this, it makes no sense. >> laura: i have to also remind everyone that under this new regime of mandates, the u.s. postal workers are exempt from biden's mandate two we have 644,000 postal workers who won't be part of the federal mandate. what does that tell us about the power of unions, particularly that the union, and how seriously they really take the workplace threats? >> again, it's more hypocrisy of president biden to say we are trying to protect workers but not postal workers because apparently for whatever reason they don't have to have the vaccine. i got to tell you, just as this announcement came outcome of the phones in my office were ringing off the hook with people who

were just in shock about this. business owners were calling me and telling me how this was going to make it hard for them to run their businesses. the amount of effort to get this done. the president really has done something bad is unbelievable that can happen in our country. americans take responsibility for their own personal health care, this is not the job of the government to mandate how they are supposed to take the vaccine like this, it's shocking. >> laura: governors, it's great to see both of you tonight, thank you. mandates were the only focus of today's speech. >> vaccines provide strong protection for the vaccinated, we read about and hear about and see the stories of hospitalized people, people on their deathbeds among the unvaccinated over the past few weeks. this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. >> laura: joining me now to respond to the claims, professor

of medicine at stanford and harvard medical professor. dr. i've asked this question before but i want to ask it again. is it accurate to call this pandemic and the mutations that are arising as one of the unvaccinated? >> no, i wouldn't make that distinction, this is a pandemic for the whole population. in the plan they claim that this is science-based, but that's not correct. two examples, one is that they are mandating vaccines for everybody but they know people have recovered from covid disease, they have stronger and longer lasting immunity than the vaccinated. they are better protected, so there's no reason to mandate them to be vaccinated. the other thing is that anybody can get infected, and there's

more a thousandfold difference in mortality between the old and the young. and all of the vaccine efforts are focused on people who are working or in school. younger to make middle-aged people who are low risk, there is nothing in this plan to really get more vaccines to those who need it who are at higher risk. people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, there was nothing to do that. that's the key, those are the ones we really need to reach with the vaccines and not all of them are vaccinated yet. >> laura: painting with a broad brush, the entire population is equally susceptible to serious illness or death. up biden's surgeon general appeared earlier on fox and made some rather interesting claims, watch.

>> we know when you get infection, you can get some degree of protection, what we are less clear about is how long that last. those who had previous infection and those who got the vaccine and those who didn't, what you find is those who were not vaccinated are more than twice as likely to get reinfection with covid compared to those who got the vaccine. >> laura: i've asked all the people i respect in the world of immunology and epidemiology and people said that's alarmingly false. and my talking to the right people? >> you are, he got the science exactly backwards. this study out of israel demonstrated people who recover from covid actually have much stronger immunity to the extent that they are ten or 13 times less likely to become infected. they are protected against severe disease just as the vaccinated people are.

there's a sense he's underplaying natural immunity and the vaccine. when you recover from covid, you actually have very strong immunity against reinfection and vaccination, that's true for the vaccines as well. let me correct myself, the first part, the vaccine doesn't seem to stop disease spread, it reduces it somewhat but who knows how long that lasts? it still protects you against severe disease, i wish he made that distinction. >> laura: the same surgeon general also talked about the risk of vaccines inducing a major heart condition but made a follow-up point. >> when you look at the kids who get covid, their risk of having myocarditis is markedly higher than the risk of kids who get the vaccine. >> laura: i'm not trying to fact-check one person here but this is the surgeon general, is that true?

>> there was a recent study that looked at this issue and they found that the risk of young boys, teenage boys to have myocarditis is higher than the risk of being hospitalized. we don't know exactly the magnitude of the myocarditis in the young adults but we know that it's -- it's a risk and we know that the risk from severe covid, not infection because they could easily get infected but severe disease from covid is very small among children and teenagers. >> laura: on this same point, we have schools now and unified school district in los angeles mandating vaccine for everyone 12 and up in the school system with rare exceptions for severe allergic reactions and other

medical conditions, 12 and up, does that make sense? >> just one data point on that. if you look at the board that the sides in u.k. whether to mandate or recommend vaccines for the population have recommended against vaccinating children, certainly not vaccinated children as young as 12 looking at basically the same data that l.a. county is looking at. i think the data on vaccinating children is so equivocal, the harm to children is so small, the risk reduction is so small, the same time there is a rare risk of myocarditis -- it doesn't make sense for many young people to get vaccinated. that's why in the u.k. they are not doing that. for one other note about young people, i received an email today from a student at smith college was going on a hunger

strike because she does not want to be forced to be vaccinated. this is an issue of conscience for many young people. i think this kind of force to vaccination is actually very, very harmful for public health. there may be vaccines where it makes some sense, but leave that aside to. in the context of covid, this is going to create some enormous vaccine hesitancy. vaccine hesitancy went from a relatively fringe phenomenon to something that nearly 30, 40% of the population and i think it's much larger who are resisting this push to amend it, it's not right to do this. >> laura: thank you both for coming on tonight. joe biden has one last chance to resurrect his presidency, that's what the liberals say. one man holds the key to stopping him. my ankle is next and then newt gingrich will react.

♪ ♪ >> laura: do the right thing, that's the focus of tonight's angle. if joe biden's presidency were a disaster movie, it would be like titanic and the poseidon adventure all rolled into one. not only has the sos biden

collided with an iceberg, it has capsized and now democrats are scrambling aboard what they think is the last lifeboat, a $3.5 trillion spending bill. >> this is in many ways what might define what his presidency is about. >> it will easily be the most dramatic expansion of the social safety net since lbj's great society. >> this is going to be one of the key moments that joe biden is going to have in his presidency and a legacy defining moment. >> laura: of course the ropes for that lifeboat may have already been cut, with a 50/50 split in the senate, biden can't afford a single democrats defection or else the $3.5 trillion spend a rama goes nowhere. enter joe mansion who came out against it in his "wall street journal" op-ed last week saying "i've always said if

i can't explain it, i can't vote for it. i can't explain why my democratic colleagues are rushing to spend $3.5 trillion. "yesterday, axios reported he was open to $1.5 trillion in new spending, which chuck schumer and company resoundingly rejected outright. that doesn't mean democrats are just going to unfurl the white flag. if biden's ship sinks, they'll sync with him. schumer and pelosi needed the spending bill is much as he does. think of the leverage this gives mansion, he could save the presidency but he would have to vote on a high person powders partisan bill by his own admission would exacerbate inflation and debt. that may be a bridge too far. which is why the left is using a

two prong strategy. >> he's always been there, he's always been with me, i think we can work something out. >> he's very persuadable. >> he's someone that has many times been willing to get to the place that the right place. >> laura: the other prong is what you see in the press every day, vicious attacks from radical talking heads. >> joe mansion is a monster of the democrats own making. the more you keep feeding the beast and telling you have control over you, the more they exert the control. >> west virginia democratic senator joe mansion is trying to do to president biden's agenda now. >> a big problem for biden's agenda, joe mansion. >> fighting with joe mansion, see how it feels. >> laura: i like when joy reid does -- that's right, i love that. what should be obvious to

manchin, no one cares if what he does is right for his constituents, in fact they hate his constituents, they helped get trump into office two in west virginia a large number of trump voters also voted for manchin because he trusted him when he said he wasn't like those other democrats. >> i will protect your second amendment rights, that's where the nra endorsed me. i'll take on washington and this administration to get the federal government off of our backs. i'll cut federal spending and i'll repeal the bad parts of obamacare. i sued epa and i'll take dead aim at the cap and trade bill. >> laura: don't pick our pockets? it's one thing to make a promise on the election trail and of course another one to keep that promise when the entire democratic establishment is pressing you to betray your constituents. we have to ask, will manchin

hold the? does he surrender to pelosi and schumer and break faith with the good people of west virginia and vote yes to help aoc and company to move us closer to socialism? or does he do the right thing and put the interests of his constituents and all americans ahead of the hard left, the rest of the radicals who hate this country or will he listen to the people of west virginia? the latest civics poll has biden's approval at just 21% in west virginia, his disapproval is at 74%. if manchin does the right thing and stands up for the people who sent him to washington, the choice for him is obvious. biden's crazy dream of creating new entitlements has to be stopped. the people of west virginia didn't vote for joe biden or pelosi or schumer, they voted for manchin and he promised he would fight for west virginia,

now is the time, kill this bill once and for all, let's start working on rebuilding the country that we love, not continuing biden's disaster movie. that's the angle. joining me now is newt gingrich, former speaker of the house in fox news contributor. it's obvious what manchin should do that will he the line? >> i think big government socialism got an enormous hit against it today and i think people in washington don't realize what a disaster today is. it's 20 or 30 times the disaster of afghanistan. the daily mail had a headline that said "biden declares war on 80 million americans." and i think people haven't thought about this. you have a president who thinks he has the right to dictate to everybody whatever his opinion is without congress passing a law, without any checks and

balances and i think that is going to rip this country apart. if he can do it on this issue, how many other things can he instruct businesses about? how many other things can he reach into your life? ironically, kamala harris said as my body, my choice, she of course was referring to abortion. if it's my body, my choice, how come it's now joe biden's body and it's his choice? this is going to roil all democrats back home in the next week, going to have person after person coming up to them saying is the president crazy? how can he possibly dictate to us and as you pointed out, not only is he dictating to us, he's creating deals with the unions to exempt them. i think is this comes out, the chances of this big government socialist bill passing goes down and down. i don't think manchin is necessarily going to melt and kristin cinema is going to join

him. you may see other democrats joining him, parts of this bill the effect farming, the destroy family farms because of the estate tax changes and i think you're going to see a number of democrats who say i can't be for this. i will be very surprised if it passes. >> laura: they are looking at a dozen plus new taxes, what is it, 16 new types of revenue grabs they are looking at two "fund" $3.5 trillion? may be over 50 years if we still have a country at the end of that. that in and of itself is a huge anvil on the shoulders of our economy. >> at a time when they got to pass the debt ceiling, have to pass the continuing resolution to keep the government open, they have to ask members to walk a lot of planks. pelosi has run a dictatorship

with great effectiveness but i have a hunch it's breaking down and i have a hunch that this coming week between the people who are mad about afghanistan, the people who are mad about what's happening with biden's dictatorial power grab, deciding you will get vaccination and people who are mad about the tax increases, i think it's very hard to imagine how they are going to come back and get it to the house or the senate, just because eventually the pressure from the american people breaks the will of members of congress. >> laura: from your lips to god's ears, i hope that's the case. two recent examples reveal the media's outright war with millions of americans, mollie hemingway and carol markowitz help us break down the mini angle in moments.

♪ ♪ >> laura: charles blow is one

of the most noxious purveyors of racial vitriol in america today, his "new york times" columns are marked by a twisted logic and limp reasoning behind what always seems to be a rather violent attack on his fellow americans. we've come to expect the worst from him. even we were taken aback by his latest work of hatred that aired on cbs last sunday. the main point of his opinion video is to warn the media against even covering certain views because doing so will amplify them, somehow legitimize them. you may already see where this is going but listen to how he sets this whole stage. >> 100 years ago this week, the new york world began to publish a 21 part explosive expose on the inner workings of the ku klux klan. some believed giving the clan this much exposure was a terrible idea. sure enough, the series did not have the effect that one might

have thought, to the contrary, klan's membership exploded. >> laura: let's pause here for a second, if you guess that his kkk talk was leading to a grand smearing of conservatives, you're right on target. >> consider how this continues to manifest today whether through election denial, cue in on conspiracies, or vaccine resistance. sometimes when we expose evil, we create or amplify an allure of it. >> laura: in other words, trump supporter's and other americans charles below disagrees with him things like the vaccine are morally the equivalent of the kkk. they are not deplorable and i not only should be shunned and looked down upon but the media needs to take proactive steps to suppress their views, the platform them altogether. what was more shocking is this loathsome dribble aired not on msnbc, but cbs sunday morning. what happened to them?

in the end, the modern media doesn't see it as their goal to inform but rather to decide for you, take covid -- they don't want to nuance, they don't want to admit the delta variant is waning, the kids are overwhelmingly safe, and said they would rather scare you into submission, offend your lives, and help corrupt establishment terrien's retained control over you. what they are doing is evil, trump is right -- they have largely become enemies of the people and it's time for americans to tune them out. join them mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist," also with me as "new york post" columnist carol markowitz. i used to think cbs sunday morning was one of those last bastions of americana, good old fashion sunday news show with some booking and patriotic attributes, but what happened? >> i'm not sure i have such a

high view of that media outlet but in general, media outlets have such low credibility because they have done such a bad job of covering fully half of the country. actually kind of appreciate what charles below is saying here by acknowledging most of what we call journalism is nothing of the sort. its propaganda, designed to support people in power and designed to oppressed people who politically disagree with them. that is now being aired on cbs and not just fringe outlets, it speaks to how the entire corporate media establishment and how terrified they are of how they don't control the narrative no matter how hard they try. >> laura: i still remember charles and his beautiful landscapes of america and visiting all those towns, i still have a romantic vision of those old shows. you noticed the same trend in the coverage of the few liberals who are against some of the more draconian measures to fight

covid. specifically you were mentioning nate silver, tell us about that. >> charles below at some point in the past has said he is more afraid of republicans and he is of terrorists and i think he continues to openly hate more than half the country. nate silver said very rational things about covid this week on twitter and was maligned for it because how dare he not push the official liberal line. all the leftists kind of know what's happening at this point. we know cloth masks don't work, the blue masks don't work, we know kids are not susceptible to this. we know the reality, we know 70% of the country is vaccinated and yet we are having double the cases we had from a year ago. we know what's happening here and the left really doesn't want to face it because they are really enmeshed in having

restrictions placed on people, specifically on people they don't like. they would like to see these restrictions continue. >> laura: speaking of this war on america and covid, cnn's resident dr. doom thanks biden's move today is fine as far as it goes but it didn't go far enough, watch. >> actually wish the biden administration would go further because planes and trains for example are also under their authority, a lot of people want to travel. i think would make a big difference to say if you want to travel, then you need to get vaccinated, that makes travel much safer. >> laura: she has that creepy smile when she talks about taking away our freedom, she's enjoying the prospect of thinking about it. >> it's amazing that for four years every time there was a mean tweet we were told it was fascism come to america and you actually have the government

ordering corporations what to do and telling individuals what to do, the same people who were hysterical don't seem to be what's happening, this was a tremendous assault on american constitutional governance, it's going to require everyone to stand up and resist and fight because we can't count on anyone in the media, they believe their job is to support one political party and they will paper over all these things just a few years ago they would've thought were horrific and unacceptable of any president. >> laura: i was thinking about the old days of johnny carson and 15 million viewers a night. these late-night hosts get a tiny fraction of what someone like you got years ago, stay away from those politics but jimmy kimmel sang people who are on vaccinated shouldn't get any treatment in hospitals, he's not joking, that's what he really thinks, howard stern the same thing. where does this end, do morbidly obese people, do smokers, to

people who have done drugs, do they get no treatment too? >> they are picturing some guy named bubba with a confederate flag on the back of his pickup truck but the fact is black and hispanic communities have a much lower vaccination rate than white people, when confronted with this fact they don't admit that it's going to be the people date deny care to. they are still maintaining its these awful trumpers. maybe it would be for the best if the mainstream media to stop covering conservatives, they do a terrible job of it. maybe it's time to go our separate ways here. >> laura: for people who haven't read his pieces, has columns in "the new york times" are much more vicious than that gauzy cbs piece with the music underneath it, much worse. thank you both. still ahead, liz cheney now facing a trump endorsed a

primary, that challenger is here exclusively, next.

hagerman over republican congresswoman liz cheney in the states only house primary. she was wyoming born and bred where she attended capra college on a livestock judging scholarship, i love that, she went to university of wyoming college of law. as an attorney she spent decades fighting back against federal overreach as a lawyer for the new civil liberties alliance. she fought the clinton administration epa overreach as well and from there she went on to become the national committee woman for the republican party in wyoming, a post she just vacated to enter this race. harriet hagerman joins me now, it's great to see you tonight. you supported liz cheney in the past, you have even donated to her. now you are running to unseat or come pray tell what has changed? >> thank you for having me, it's wonderful to be on your show and it's very simple. liz cheney has betrayed wyoming, she's betrayed all of us and

she's betrayed me. had i known five years ago that liz cheney would align herself with pelosi and radical democrats in washington, d.c., i probably wouldn't have even taken that first phone call. the fact is the state of wyoming deserves to be represented by someone from wyoming, someone who was born and raised here as i was and someone who has wyoming's best interest at heart. that's why i'm running to be the next congresswoman from the state of wyoming. >> laura: specifically on what issues you take issue with her? >> there are several ones, one of the primary ones is that she aligns with pelosi and the radical democrats earlier this year to vote to impeach president trump without due process and without what you expect from someone in terms of that kind of an issue. she aligns herself with pelosi and the democrats in the impeachment and since then, she has aligned with pelosi on the

matter related to the january 6th commission. what she has done as she is focusing on issues that are important to the democrats in washington, d.c., as they attempt to deflect attention from from the disaster that is the biden administration and she continues to bash president trump as well as citizens in wyoming. the fact is president trump won wyoming by over 70% of the vote, he had a higher percentage of votes than liz cheney did to. the citizens of wyoming sent her to washington, d.c., to be an ally of president trump, to pursue conservative values and fight against the biden-pelosi agenda and she aligned herself with pelosi agenda instead. >> laura: liz cheney reacted to president trump's endorsement of her campaign by saying in a tweet that shares a sound bite for you -- bring it. she's projecting a lot of

confidence, i understand democrats can cross over and vote in this primary, your reaction? >> i'm not sure that projects a lot of confidence, that's an interesting response for her to make but it also shows she reacted immediately to president trump. it further shows that exactly the agenda she has been pursuing. she announced earlier this year that she was going to make sure that president trump has no leadership role in the republican party from this point forward. that's the agenda she is pursuing. she's not pursuing the agenda that is important to wyoming, she's not fighting the biden administration on the terrible policies that have been so destructive to our state, to our small businesses, to our schools, to our students. it's telling to me she reacted to president trump the way that she did it because that's what her focus is, she's taken her eye off the ball. she wants to spend her time fighting with president trump

rather than fighting biden and pelosi and what we see are the radicals are washington, d.c.. >> laura: would you support a lawsuit to try to stop this vaccine mandate for companies of 100 employees or more that biden announced today, would you do that? i haven't heard liz cheney on that. >> the fact is, what biden did today is clearly unconstitutional and his advisors know it. just like the cdc moratorium was unconstitutional and they knew that in july. >> laura: i haven't heard liz cheney -- she never talks about these types of issues. it's only hitting trump and the insurrection on january 6th. we are going to be watching this race very closely, thank you for choosing this show to come on first, we really appreciate it. with thousands of afghan refugees resettling in the country, biden dhs press secretary really has his eye on things.
