♪ got blood on my hands ♪ ♪ and i don't understand ♪ ♪ what's happening ♪♪ >> the whole video is on hannity.com. let not your heart be troubled. welcome back, missed you. >> laura: what do you mean welcome back? >> i throw it to him. nothing. and i've experienced this in my life, i'm sure you have too. >> laura: he was the only guest host a history and television. >> laura: for jason chaffetz, we need a host with a voice, are you available? >> laura: what can i say, it was live tv come alive when that happens but i was actually two

weeks ago. >> you have not stopped ridiculing him, i know you. >> laura: how do you know me? no sympathy. >> i've known you for 25 years, i know. >> laura: all right, enough from you. we will see you tomorrow night. i am laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. only one former president, george w. bush spoke at a september 11th site but instead of remembering the events of that tragic day, took the occasion to smear many of his fellow americans, many of whom pulled the lever for him twice. my angle will come a little later on tonight but as you might imagine, my commentary on this one will be unflinching. but first, you know that old saying when you're in a hole, stop digging? biden and his party don't seem to get it. they jumped into a ditch and then they spend their days shoveling out more dirt. unfortunately for us, the more

they did, the deeper the trouble for america. let's start with our fragile state of our economy all self-inflicted. >> it's largely driven by inflation. rising prices americans are facing. >> i think you will see some choppiness into the first quarter of next year. >> said it was transitory, that appears to not be the case now but they can fix this problem without abandoning their poor policy agenda so rising prices will be with us for the foreseeable future. >> alicia: today, the federal reserve had a survey that showed expectations had a record high last month, the tenth consecutive month that inflation predictions have risen. and smart economists say there's a good chance when they release the latest consumer price index numbers tomorrow, the picture will look pretty ugly, they say. but back to the ditch. the democrats answer to this

precarious situation is to supercharge inflation and dig us deeper into debt with a monstrous $3.5 trillion spending bill. apparently, you will pay for it eventually because we learned today they are going to fund this with 3 trillion in taxes, higher taxes on income, corporations, small business owners, capital gains and that's on top of the huge increase in gas prices since biden took office. last week, we heard senator joe manchin of west virginia to do the right thing and resist with everything he had this fiscal catastrophe. and yesterday, he gave us some hope. >> he will not have my vote on 3.5 and chuck knows that and we've talked about this. we've already put out 5.4 trillion and a lot of the help that we've put out there is still there and is going to run clear into next year.

>> laura: biden is closer to the socialists and they are not listening. >> absolutely not acceptable to me, i don't think it's acceptable to the president, the american people for the overwhelming majority of people in the democratic caucus. >> was already compromised 3.5 trillion. we don't want to compromise the promises we made to the american public. >> laura: they are doing to the economy what the biden foreign policy has done to our accountability, smash it into tiny bits. secretary of state tony blinken was forced to admit today in a big hearing on capitol hill that still after about a month of evacuation we still haven't gotten every american out of afghanistan. >> going back to this weekend, we had about 100 american citizens in contact with us who seek to leave afghanistan, those of the americans we are working with. >> to have an exact number? >> i can't give you an exact

number. >> laura: if that statement seems odd, they've been giving us relatively similar from weeks. >> we believe that about 100 to 200 americans remain in afghanistan. >> we are in touch with all of them who we have identified on a regular basis. >> alicia: it is around 100, the state department will have the most up-to-date numbers. >> laura: the truth is they don't know and the truth is they don't care. it biden went to california tonight to save gavin newsom's political future and those priorities of his. our enemies view all of this overall, the economy, our foreign policy. this ineptitude is an opportunity. over the weekend, china, iran, and north korea all decided to flex their muscles. they are confident that america is diminished and under biden, we already see that sadly, they are probably right.

biden's standing has deteriorated so sharply and so quickly that he offered a blunt warning. without drastic changes, democrats are on track to lose big in 2022. since the democrats are determined to stay dug in for socialism, i will bet on their losing big in 2022. joining me now was former speaker newt gingrich, fox news contributor, author of the new book beyond biden howe on november 2nd. you can preorder your copy today. they have to see where this is all going with not only one poll coming out, but multiple coming out showing massive political blowback so are they just hurrying to get as much socialist stuff done as they can before the midterms or is there some other strategy at play? >> i think first of all that

urinalysis is really right. we did a survey in premarket capitalism beat government socialism by 59-16. that's an amazing number and it shows you how the socialists have frankly alienated themselves from most americans. i think what's going on is they watch bill clinton, he lost congress in '94, obama lost congress in 2010 and i think deep down all of their leadership expects to lose next year and so they want to ram everything they can through the system before they are defeated and if that means they defeat 30 or 40 of their marginal democrats in the house and three or four or five in the senate, that's the price they've decided is inevitable so they're going to try to get this stuff through. i think however the ways and means chairman today when he came out and talked about

$3 trillion in tax increases and was very candid and said he's not going to share the details because everybody will mobilize in opposition when they see the taxes, that isn't going to work. of all across the country, you're going to have people calling your house and senate members and saying i do not want you to vote yes on raising my taxes and i don't see how they get it through congress. >> laura: it's like obamacare, we have to pass it to see what is in it. this is what has always happen, does push at the 11th hour and its 2,000 pages long, no one has read it and yet joe biden is the guy campaigned on getting back to transparency in government, the regular order. is any of this especially going to california to try to save gavin newsom even if the polls are up now, but is any of this regular order? >> no. first of all if you are a big

government socialist, you despise the law, you despise the constitution. aoc wearing a tax the rich dress to the metropolitan gala surrounded by the riches gives you a sense of this in-your-face willingness to change the rules. i think what you've got is people who break the law of the with millions of immigrants, biden hypocritically says if you are in private business, you have to get vaccinated. if you're an illegal immigrant, you don't have to and think about it, you have people who routinely break the rules. >> laura: they are always allowed to now. so i mentioned biden going to california for newsom and he is using it as this opportunity to

sell this horrific agenda. watch. >> the governor has led this state with poise and strong leadership. we have a bipartisan infrastructure bill that has been passed. it is bipartisan and i believe will get done the so-called reconciliation bill that has another several trillion dollars in it. >> laura: your reaction to that? >> first of all, you've already had the left say if you don't pass my $3.5 trillion big government socialist bill, i'm not going to allow you to pass the infrastructure bill so in the house, they have this gridlock because if they can't pass the 3.5 trillion, they're not going to get the infrastructure. i don't think they can pass the 3.5 trillion. in the senate, he has really dug in. and so does the left then blow up and refused to pass the infrastructure bill?

what is deeper his president of the united states who talks about hope, several trillion dollars, this is going to be a 10,000 page bill with $3 trillion of tax increases, three and a half trillion dollars in spending and it is virtually insane to do this in the face of inflation. >> laura: leave polls for biden keep dropping and digging. thank you. and while the biden administration is blaming the trump voters for vaccine hesitancy, there is one person close to the president who has done his part since last year to so doubt. >> it's the public health professionals, dr. fauci, the doctors tell us that we should take it, i will be the first in line to take it, absolutely. but if donald trump tells us we should take it, i'm not taking it. >> laura: her part and continues her nefarious anti-vax campaign to this day tweeting

last night that we need to take more action to protect the vaccinated. but if the vaccinated aren't even protected from covid by getting vaccinated, many on the sidelines are going to ask what the heck is the point? incredibly confusing to most people. your enemy now, professor of medicine at sanford and professor of epidemiology at yale school of public health. okay, i am continually stunned by this messaging from the white house and now we will get to the booster thing in a moment but your reaction to the suite last night? >> it is absolutely shocking to me to hear essentially an anti-vax message come out of the mouth of the vice president. the vaccine is incredibly effective at protecting people lick and severe disease but if you are vaccinated, you don't need to be protected, the vaccine already does that. the message that we have to protect the vaccinated is essentially a message that is

going to undermine confidence in the vaccine unnecessarily and is a dangerous message i think that the vice president should retract. >> laura: i want to get to another bombshell a new study revealed in the atlantic today that roughly half of all hospitalized patients showing up on dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely or had only a mild presentation of the disease. does this or does this not indicate that the data itself may have been incredibly misleading has reported? >> it's true, it's the same finding that we found earlier this year for children and the reason why children are hospitalized with covid or for covid's and that we have the same finding in adults but the good thing about this is it means we are doing a lot better than we thought. really down with a delta wave compared to the original strains from earlier this year and that

means that a very large fraction of the american public are already immune. >> we know that it looks like we are beginning to see some health care companies were mandating a vaccine are accepting natural immunity as an alternative in the form of an antibody test in the last three months i guess. does that give you any hope that they will ever recognize immunology about prior infections? and the protection you get. >> is amazing, an amazing denial of the basic fact that after you get covid and recover, you are protected against severe disease and actually probably better protected than the vaccine itself. that denial of science actually

fuels vaccine hesitancy. you can't trust the scientific community in the public health community to have the knowledge basic fact like that, why would you trust them on other aspects. really heartening has you say to see that some entities are finally recognizing that. i wish that it would spread to the entire public health community that would acknowledge that and if they're going to do vaccine mandates, either vaccine or immunity. >> laura: and on this issue of the boosters, i know a couple of the top vaccine experts at the fda had resigned and are now saying that rushing to the booster before the people who are vulnerable are vaccinated is not smart. there seems to be a growing divide on this issue of the booster pen whether people truly need the booster or should be rushing to get the booster who

are otherwise not vulnerable. your thoughts on that? >> the original plan we should have had is to protect the vulnerable whether it's by vaccines, medications, all the methods we have available should have been detained primarily protecting vulnerable people, people with a obesity, chronic conditions. so now we have people who for whatever their personal reasons have escaped from the narrative and are seeing people who need to be protected are the high risk people so they are finally coming on side but they should've seen a year ago. >> laura: and before we let you go, this new concern that the government may require vaccines for interstate travel in the united states on airplanes and trains, do you believe that will increase vaccine hesitancy or get everyone who is not vaccinated to get out and get vaccinated?

>> it may increase vaccine uptake. people want to be able to travel across state that they will feel coerced into doing so, so but i'm afraid of is it would increase the distrust people have in public health mother will feel forced and say if it is so good, why am i being forced to do it? i think it will undermine public health in the long run and while you make it a short run bump because people have to travel across state, in the long run it will be worse for public health, just not worth it. >> laura: think you so much, good to see you both tonight. and a particularly ugly and disappointing address, former president bush chose to commemorate 9/11 not by the country but in the process smearing millions of its fellow americans and in moments, takes on his words and explains how this should help crystallize the views of the current g.o.p. stay there.

(vo) how do you know when you've found your team? whether you're winning, or just doing your best. when you're on the lanes, they're right behind you. reunite with your team. go bowling.

>> laura: we won't be fooled again. that's the focus of tonight's angle. then there was a lot of speculation swirling among media types and political junkies about why joe biden didn't deliver a live address at one of the 9/11 memorial sites on

saturday's anniversary. conservatives said it was because biden's handlers worried that he would embarrass himself and liberals blames it on the possibility that biden actually might be booed while speaking. they didn't want to have that. but i have another theory that's just as plausible. why would biden need to speak at all when george w. bush would do it for him. >> we have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within. there is literal cultural overlap between violent extremists are broad and violent extremists a home, but in their disregard for human life, and their determination, they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our continuing duty to confront them. >> laura: of course, bushes

and talking about confronting the foul spirit of antifa or blm. remember, their rampages and riots caused death and destruction coast-to-coast. do you remember president bush speaking out about any of that? did he ever raise an objection if they know it's not? when he tried to bird down st. john's church across from the white house, did president bush decry the defiling of that national symbol? no and no. whoever wrote those remarks for bush this weekend and of course they were written for him also in effect wrote them for biden and former president obama and clinton as well. on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, how cynically clever of the democrats when biden is on the ropes to have a former republican president/art trump and his supporters. of course, the elites who despise bush for the eight years he was in office left it all up.

>> this will now be built into his legacy. it is standing up and saying things like that about truth and about what is real and right and factual. >> children of the same foul spirit is a striking line from george w. bush. this is the biggest platform he will have for the year may be several years. >> felt like he needed to send a moral message. also lifting people up in an emotional way also. >> were needed before an hitting trunk, one day in october 2017, both men and separates speeches hit trump without mentioning him by name and when benghazi went down, remember bush did not speak out. without a single republican vote, bush did not speak out.

when biden created a humanitarian national security and economic nightmare the southern border, of course bush did not speak out. but when donald trump began to slowly but surely called out and bushes globalist legacy, bush couldn't stop himself. then it became personal. >> bigotry seems emboldened. politics seem more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication. we've seen nationalism distorted into nativism. we see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade. we've seen the return of isolation sentiments and in all these ways, we need to recall and recover our own identity. >> laura: have exactly where that be any different from what any prominent democrat would have said then about trump? for bush, it was only worth speaking out to defend his own legacy, never to stand up for true conservatism.

amidst the avalanche of praise for his saturday remarks, let's not forget that after seven years of war, the loss of nearly 5 million manufacturing jobs overseas -- more than that, actually, and the 2008 financial crisis, bush's approval rating was in the high 20s at the end of his last full year in office. republicans under bush lost the house, lost the senate, and john mccain who doubled down on bush's record got shellacked by barack obama in 2008. turns out g.o.p. voters have had enough, the country had had enough. and now after they lost their grip on the g.o.p. for good, the old bush establishment are older but not wiser. bush's remarks set the stage to boost biden and the democrats. they are flailing with their agenda now and poised for a wipeout in 2022 but bush came in to try to do a temporary save.

and all the media can do is attack republicans as racist, white supremacist, and insurrectionist. the entire thing is pathetic and most of all, it's revealing. it shows that they know their agenda is delivering despair and will not improve the lives of average americans. >> it's not just sad, it's dangerous that we are in a situation where we need defense. >> incredibly damaging attack, the seeds of that still continue. >> that's the effectiveness of terrorism that you've got to always be prepared because you don't know with this group now could turn to a terrorist attack. >> of course, they are talking about this rally next saturday that no one i know has ever heard of. their view and bush's view is that since the republican party has no longer follow the bushes,

it should be labeled as a terror organization. this idea is being openly discussed among the left. let's not kid ourselves, the bushes help to raise hundred $50 million for the 2016 run in the end, jeb dropped out before getting to his own home state primary. and they still don't get it. they're not mad at the people who called him a war criminal or hitler or ridicules him every week on "snl," the bushes are met at the republicans who rejected their policies. they all claim that trump was the devil incarnate for demanding loyalty for the people who work for them but the truth is, the bushes were the ones who demanded personal loyalty regardless of how their policies affected the country. this is all hard for me to say actually because i always liked the bushes personally. but what i questioned and ultimately help to torpedo the

qualification to the supreme court, the bush white house made it clear they wouldn't ever deal with me again. you can never go against the family. so the old bush guard has declared an unwinnable war again and this time, it's against the 74 million plus republicans who voted for trump in 2020 and who didn't vote for jeb bush in 2016. i'm sure they hope that the leftist historians will treat them more kindly in the future than they have in the past. maybe they will, but i doubt it. so while bush was trying to appeal to that very media that has demonized him for years, here's what trump is doing. >> i'm doing okay. i don't have that many. >> you are new york's finest, incredible people. >> i love you. >> laura: that's kind of what

happened to the g.o.p., it found its real bass again. the fact is, most conservatives want to shake off the will the the allure of the bushes. exciting young governors who fight for us instead of against us and we won't be fooled again and that's the angle. joining us now as byron york, "washington examiner"'s chief political correspondent, fox news contributor and author of obsession. you wrote about the speech pretty much as soon as it was over, why did you feel so strongly about what you would heard? >> for some of the very reasons that you just said, this was the speech that bill clinton or barack obama if they had given speeches on september 11th, this is part of the speech they would have given and the other thing is it was just jaw-dropping. he decried the divisiveness in our politics today and yet he was entirely, completely

unself-aware of the role that his own actions had played in creating those very divisions. the war in iraq was certainly the most divisive event in american history in the last 20 years until the election of donald trump of course which had something to do with the war in iraq and then the most incredible thing, the reason i wrote about it was that bush signed on to this idea you hear from the left on msnbc and other places that september 11th and the january 6th capitol riots were essentially the same. the capitol riot was just as bad as september 11th. it's a crazy idea, but it has really taken hold in some areas of the left impart to view the rioters as enemy combatants or insurrectionist and here, they got their most prominent endorsement from a former republican president.

>> laura: here's another snippet from his speech. >> when it comes to the unity of america, those days seemed distant from our own. maligned forces seem at work in our common life. it turns every disagreement an argument. and every argument into a clash of cultures. so much of our politics for anger, fear, and resentment. >> laura: the policies of anger but it seems to me with that speech he is just deriding and defaming trump voters for going a different way. >> there is no doubt about it and by the way, if anyone remembers the bush presidency, you mentioned earlier about how he was compared to hitler often and indeed he was, it happened all the time back then but here again, he comes out himself and endorses perhaps the most toxic

view of what happened on januare clear, the september 11th attacks killed roughly 3,000 people, brought downs new york's tallest skyscrapers, destroyed a large part of the pentagon, started two wars and changed american foreign policy for decades. there is simply no comparison at all to what happened on january 6th which was an appalling act of civil disorder but it resulted in one natural causes death of a single policeman, the death of a writer who was shot by police and three other natural causes death. they simply are not comparable in any way. >> laura: saying that trump voters are more scary and dangerous than the taliban. that's basically what he's saying with some semantic

flourish in there. but your column was so important, i urge everyone to read it, i tweeted it out and i will do it again tonight, thank you. and coming up, his bizarre rant on 9/11 and how the administration is changing the rules but not to help americans. raymond arroyo has it next.

>> laura: it is time for seen and unseen segment and for that return to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. biden offered no speech on 9/11 but he did speak out. >> he did. the president went to shanksville to honor those who lost their lives on september 11th but was clearly confused. he took photos with a group of children who were apparently all trump supporter's. did he not see the kid with the trump t-shirt or the two mega-hats? surely could smell a deplorable family when he encountered one but after not offering any

remarks on 9/11 biden launched into a bizarre political rant of the media. listen. >> what you want to do with biden? i want to box him. i should be so lucky. but this kind of thing, the stuff that is coming out of florida, stuff that is coming out of robert e. lee and afghanistan. >> poured biden's mind. the jumble of grievances and charges made against them, political enemies including dad wore generals but i recall being at normandy beach a few years ago when trump caught for complaining to a certain fox news host about nancy pelosi. the media said trump had politicized a day of remembrance. what is this if not politicizing a day of remembrance?

>> laura: i'm still trying to figure out what he was saying about robert e. lee. >> i could not follow any of it. >> laura: i found the entire thing but again, when he had bush to speak, why would biden have spoken live? he didn't have to. >> biden went on and on about afghanistan, no sense of empathy for the people gathered there who lost family but secretary of state antony blinken found his inner empathy making the pitch to fund the nearly 100,000 afghans the biden administration was bringing to the u.s. >> looking for support from all of you on this and particularly a few things. for afghans who are paroled into the united states, to receive the same benefits that refugees do so they have some ongoing support, the ability to work in the united states of hhs benefits that they wouldn't

otherwise get, we'd also like them to be able to apply for a green card after one year. >> laura: why not? anything else? get free wilbur's for life, what else? how much is is going to cost us? >> it's unbelievable. they are talking medicaid, food stamps, job training, the biden administration is asking congress for 6.4 billion to resettle them, 1.7 billion alone would go to hhs, that is welfare. after what i saw in los angeles a few weeks ago, homeless veterans dying intense getting struck by cars in brentwood, shouldn't these citizens, our veterans be our first priority if we're going to send billions? >> laura: they prefer noncitizens to citizens for a variety of reasons but they could be left in the street to die but is this what they are calling them? hhs benefits for 100,000 parolees into the country.

they may want to talk to some of the men you spoke with, i think. >> we should take care of them first. >> we can do this. take care of us first because you never know. >> they want to bend the rules for these afghan refugees, bend the rules for veterans so they can get into the facility that is theirs. there may be up to 60,000 of them. >> laura: finally, i want to get another reaction to your crime against the american people. the material girls showed up. >> she is gone from lucky star teriyaki star. she's exposing -- what has she done to herself? is she opening and club will receive the new osha for a vaccine compliance in

l.a. county. for some context, madonna is 63 years old. that's how old bea arthur was. i can't imagine ella fitzgerald showing up missing the back of her outfit. >> laura: they all look like they are enjoying it. i didn't see one bit of it. i prefer from the palmolive commercials. i'm really dating myself now. >> laura: this woman has seen more shots than walgreens, really coming out all over. >> laura: somewhere, the village people are missing. caught on camera throwing 3,000 u.s. flags in a garbage bag on september 11th. he's going to tell us what happened, stay there.

>> laura: last week, washington university college republicans played 2,977 flags on campus, one for each live lost on 9/11 and on the 20th anniversary of the attacks, student was caught on camera after he was seen throwing them in a garbage bag.

>> what's up? who are you? okay. >> laura: nice man bun. in joining me now, confronted the student in the video, also a member of the washington university college republicans. this is essentially destruction of property, probably a violation of state code to throw away the flag like that anyway but i assume it's against the student code of conduct so is he facing any disciplinary action? >> at the moment, the school is investigating but i agree, his action was inappropriate and these flags were those who died in the 9/11 attacks. >> laura: were you allowed to place them on campus, any rule that you can place them in the ground or sought permission, they certainly look beautiful

there. >> college republicans had permission to plant those flags since 2013 and he had no right to remove them. >> laura: in a statement of the school's newspaper, the student you got on tape said that he gathered up the flags and put them in the garbage bag to protest the human cost of 9/11 in the past 20 years and said he did not deface, destroy, damage, nor steal any of the flags. did you get your flags back? >> yes, we did. and he said he is protesting. when we were out there after i stop the recording, he said the flags were placed in violation of school policy which isn't the case and now that it's been in the media course, he said he's been protesting and everything, i am 100% against islamophobia

which is what he was protesting against and i believe there's a place for protesting. on all the days that there could've been a protest to remove flags placed for people who died on that day. >> laura: and his protest can't be to take away your right to make a patriotic statement. so you guys are playing polite rules on i know you have to on campus that this is. multiple 9/11 memorial sites have been vandalized just in this past week and in south carolina, one was spray painted with the word taliban on it and boston memorial guard was vandalized. so i'm trying to imagine if a different flag was taken down and thrown in a garbage bag whether it's the pride flag or a blm flag or any flag that was

popular for on-campus and it was done by a member of the republican club on campus, do you think officials would take a long time to investigate that one? i don't. >> i don't think they would either. that would be an awful situation but i want to focus on the positives in this story. after the police were called, they came and confiscated the flags and the washington university college republicans planted every single one of the flags we received. not only that come up with the school released a statement or more specifically chancellor andrew martin condemning the vandalism of the flag. >> laura: i like your take but he should be brought up, thank you. up next, the last word.

(upbeat pop music in background throughout)

>> oh, my gosh. tax the rich. what a model.

>> i didn't know you model as well. >> we can't just play along but we need to break the fourth wall and challenge some of the institutions. and while the met is known for expect to go, we should have a conversation about it. >> laura: socialization today means wearing a tax the rich shirt to a show charging 30k a ticket. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jesse: after becoming the king of late night, greg gutfeld finally decided to take a day off. so he asked the second funniest person at fox to fill in for him. bill kill me and said he was not available so you're stuck with
