>> sean: and alec baldwin's gun just went off by itself. >> laura: anyway, i love your show tonight, hannity. >> sean: i like the new graphic grade i think it looks really good. >> laura: is very exciting after four and a half years. i was thrilled. look at it. >> sean: i've been here 26 years. it's simple. take and i have avenue graphics package and you get one. >> laura: i kind of have is like an old tonight show kind of backdrop there. we need curtains to open and close. [laughter] all right, hannity. and the curtain is calling on you right now i have to get to this. i am laura ingraham and this is a "the ingraham angle" on a very busy wednesday. former white house chief of staff mark meadows -- he joins us tonight with all the breaking details, and there are many. plus nostalgic reboot. not just hot trend in entertainment.

raymond arroyo explains how hillary is getting into the action as well. that is coming up in "seen and unseen." but first, arsonists complain about fire damage. that is the focus of tonight's angle. now, you have probably seen the articles and heard some of the commentary beginning to trickle out on topics at the angle sounded the alarm on over 18 months ago. kids' test scores down, depression up. way to gain up annual checkups delayed which means serious health problems among the young are going undetected. in this way, biden surgeon general released a 53 page advisory on the many ways young people have been adversely affected by the pandemic. early estimates suggest there were practically more than 6,600 decks by suicide among the 18-24 age group in 2020, and early

2021, emergency departments for suspected suicide attempts were 51% higher for adolescent girls compared to early 2019. now, being a biden administration report, of course it goes totally off the rails, and at one point, adventures beyond the pandemic and tries to connect mental health problems to "death of black americans at the hands of police officers, including the murder of george floyd, covert related violence against asian-americans, gun violence, and increasingly polarized political dialogue, growing concerns about climate change and emotionally charged misinformation." this is all ludicrous on its face and it's totally revealing. also, let's get one thing straight. the pandemic in general is as much to blame 14 suicide and depression as the car is to blame for the will castro her a

parade massacre. the real culprit is the response to the virus. democratic governors, mayors, county officials walked down the schools, stop sports, close the churches, which then pushes unsupervised kids to screens, porn, pots, and violent video games. back in 2020, the angle warned that the consequences of closing down and higher state economies, shuttering schools, banning normal human interaction, we said it would be nightmarish, especially for young people that it would be catastrophic. there are a devastating consequences of keeping children away from schools. academic decline, depression, addiction, to be used. let alone the economic calamity for households that can't afford -- from a common sense standpoint, the decision to put kids back in

school should be a slam-dunk yes. but now coming up on the two year marker for the beginning of covid, the same people who lit the fire of hysteria on covid and then locked us down want you to believe they truly care about the well-being of your kids. nice try. now, democrats and left-wing medical officials are directly to blame here. and they will never -- we will never let the voter forget this. it was they are policies that took kids away from their friends. isolated them in their rooms and then band them from socializing. and even playing sports outside. in the end, test scores plummeted. learning suffered. and kids no surprise got depressed and despondent. now, how many thousands of young lives were lost because of these patently insane policies. millions of kids never got to experience graduation or prom or just playing their last or first

varsity season. and of course, none of this was dictated by the signs. with the medical cartel did was, it is, and it will political. now, we knew back in march of 2020 from initial studies done in china and in italy that covid had little to no impact on children. only severely immunocompromised people who are young were at a slightly higher risk. yet the public health experts, fauci and the like, refused to push the good news instead choosing to scaremongering about schools becoming deadly super-spreaders. >> i tend to be on the side of let's close the schools because they are getting infected and they are infectious. >> here's the bottom line. when community transmission is high, it is risky to open schools. >> i'm worried that decisions are being made is that we are not putting students at the center, student health and safety at the center is going to be why schools may be disrupted.

>> laura: all of this was a blatant political payoff to the teachers union. member, they want to be respected and protected but they didn't want their members to be deemed essential operators, people who had to show up every day. again, covid unmasked the political, medical, and educational frauds among us. and now it is worse. they are still refusing to move on from any of this continue with perpetual alarmism, and the mask, and the vaccine mandate. never going to end unless -- "the new york times" is not reporting that some public schools are once again taking kids out of the classroom, if you can believe it. this time by shortening the school week and taking pride is off claiming that it is the only thing they can do to keep teachers working. and then there is this from unicef release just hours ago. the covid-19 pandemic has been the biggest threat to progress for children in our 75 year

history. covid-19 is rolling back virtually every measure of progress for children, including a staggering 100 million more children plunged into poverty. that is what lockdowns do, my friend. now even if your kid was not plunged into poverty, the long-term effects of the lockdown are going to be staggering. what we are seeing now, the depression, the brain drain, drug use, alcohol abuse, everything else, this is just the beginning. and it's all because of the politicians who abuse their emergency authorities. i mean, most of the last 20 months. and they emboldened incompetent nuts bag to hate the idea of parental involvement in education and pretty much everything else about america. and after that surgeon general's report, it closes with this line on tackling the mental health crisis among kids. "our obligation to act is not just medical -- it is moral. this is the moment to demand change."

they are talking about the old normal. have to have the new normal. but i couldn't agree more on a general sentiment as do many voters were beginning to see the last two years for what they wear. tragic but clarifying. going forward, unless things change, parents who want their kids to get a real education are going to have to homeschool or go private. voters who want to preserve freedom, well, while safeguard the health and well-being of our kids will need to consider crossing party lines. maybe for the first time. we should never let the arsonist who burned down the old normal and hurt our children so badly ever get that close to power again. and that is the angle. all rights. as i just mentioned, some schools are still keeping kids out of the classroom. not just last month, detroit public schools left kids out in the cold, literally. when they abruptly announced that schools would be closed every friday in the month

of december. and on friday before thanksgiving, they informed parents the school would be canceled the entire next week with no online option at all. this is insane. my next guest has been living through this nightmare. kaitlyn is the mother of a fourth-grader in that school system. caitlin, as a single mother myself, you know, i am thinking of how you are getting pie here. you need to make a living while you -- >> i appreciate you having me on tonight to hear the parents side of the story. i want to be the voice of the voiceless. so it has been -- there have been ups and downs. and my son started off with the virtual pretty well last year. and then as things kind of drag down, where the brief period of time was extended a month and

half come every week was going another week, going another week, and then another shutdown would happen. and it was supposed to be a week and it turned out to be an month and a half. so by the end of the year, he was frustrated. he was completely exhausted. requesting mental health days and i exhausted all of my benefits at work. i know that position i am very blessed and i known not that all people can say they were able to have such an abundant of benefits to take advantage of. but at this point, you really reach the point of pure exhaustion. >> laura: the how are you doing it now? so fast-forward. we are getting close to the two year marker on the start of covid. and we know the data on the kids. we know the data on the kids. they review kids -- every life is precious, but a infinitesimally number of kids

compared to other illnesses, influenza and a serious influenza year, and they give you no notice and say we are not going to have school fridays and all of next week is canceled. and now i know the detroit teacher scene is pushing to extend this. disclosures and online learning beyond december i am understanding. >> i don't know a lot about the beyond december. the last year they would not give us any warning. but the definition of insanity is to try the same thing twice and expect different results. so thee and not taking any chances. not taking any risks. maybe they really are going to go back after december because last year like i said where the lockdowns dragged on and on, week after week, i actually changed my son's school district after the friday lockdown news came. became concerned about how reliable i am actually going to look to my employer when i could have to request time off at the drop of a dime.

>> laura: by caitlin, their parents that you are talking to, i mean, i know what it is like to have a snow day in d.c. what that does to parents. having every friday now all four other moms and other dads that you know, is not going to drive people out of these public schools for good? >> one would think so. when i first started to voice my opinion from different parish groups, i received a lot of varying feedbacks. some parents were about as exasperated as i was and others that were completely supportive. but not everyone's situation is the same. not everyone is fortunate to be able to have a job where you can work from home. other apple people have to be physically other job. some jobs might not be safe enough for that child to come along with you. >> laura: beyond that, i have seen my own kids -- i don't care what anyone states, learning

online is a joke. it is a joke or most kids. it is hard enough for college kids to do online. i have seen up close and personal for all those months. it is a -- they try their best and i know teachers try. it is a joke. playing games on their phone. it doesn't work. >> 100%. last year when my son was home and i would work half days. like i said exhausting a lot of my paid benefits at work, i could leave the room for 10 minutes and come back in my son and his friends one fortnight. but by the end of the year, but was really disheartening was that i started to see that the teachers, and my son's teachers last year were absolute saints. they were so empathetic and they really made me feel like they were also struggling as well. but by the end of the year, what i saw was that the teachers were spending more time trying to get the kids to regroup and come

back and pay attention and stop playing, take that hat off. there is less teaching going on then what should have been done. and then moving forward into this year, son was a straight a math student. this year he tested two grade levels behind in his favorite subject. >> laura: that's the headline. two grade levels behind, one year of virtual learning. we didn't even get into the vaccine mandate but that's a whole other kettle of fish. thank you for sharing your story tonight and i hope other mothers feel empowered to speak out as well if this happens to your school district. speaking of protecting your kids, california wants to do the opposite. democrats now plan on turning the golden state into an abortion sanctuary should the supreme court overturn roe vs. wade. fox's chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher has the disturbing details from our west coast newsroom. trace.

>> about 50% of all abortions in the u.s. are already done in california and if the supreme court overturns roe v. wade, next summer in california is pushing to become the abortion capital of the country. the way it works is if it is overturned, some 25 u.s. states would ban abortion so california is proposing to become an abortion sanctuary state. and according to the california future of abortion counsel, which is supported by governor newsom and the state legislature, not only with the state welcome those choosing abortion, it could also pay for travel. lodging. even the actual procedure itself. other recommendations by the council include reducing cost for obtaining abortion. heighten legal support for providers, patients, people, and organizations that help someone get an abortion. back educational programs in schools and community organizations to talk about abortion and restrictions and ease access to abortions later in someone's pregnancy.

the question there is how much later. in california, you can artie get an abortion up until the fetus reaches viability. you know, can live outside the womb. and even later, if the doctor believes the patient's health or life is at risk. and adding to that controversy, it says taxpayer money. so even if your prayer life, your california tax dollars could be used to fund an abortion for someone who doesn't live in california. nobody knows how many people would cross state lines, but when it texas law that outlawed abortion after six weeks took effect, california clinics reported an increase in patients from texas. in some abortion providers believe that if roe is overturned, california could see a 3000% increase in abortion. and finally, those who oppose abortion are also preparing for a surge of patients which likely means a surge of antiabortion lawsuits, although it appears california is ready and willing

to use taxpayer money to fight those lawsuits. laura. >> laura: trace. that's unbelievable. thank you. and one week ago, we asked why federal workers still aren't actually in the office. all it seems that minority leader kevin mccarthy was listening. he has an announcement, next. plus, mark meadows just announced he is suing pelosi. he has all the details coming up.

♪ ♪ >> laura: federal buildings including those that house homeland security, hss, transportation department have had a lot of vacant offices. in the twisted liberal mind, and person work as expected for people like store clerks, baristas, janitors, airport personnel, but the average federal worker apparently believes stay home is their right. republicans in congress must demand real answers about what exactly are bloated federal workforce has been up to. and now just days later, house

minority leader kevin mccarthy is himself demanding answers from the biden administration. as to how many federal employees are physically actually showing up for work versus those who are still teleworking and watching netflix. house minority leader kevin mccarthy joins us now. congressman, i think what this has revealed to a lot of us is how much fat is really in the federal workforce. how many people are truly essential and how many people can be gradually sent off into the sunset. >> you're correct. i'm asking them not. how many people are teleworking and how many people are actually working because it's not working for the american public. may give you an example. in the e.u., there is more than 266,000 veterans benefit claims. that are backlogged. the irs in a recent report shows that they only answered the phone 14% of the time. but you have the white house

bragging about the federal workforce at a 92% have had one dosage of the vaccine. so if they have been vaccinated, why can't they get back to work? we just showed that the democrats aren't working on the policies. and it's just not the workforce of the federal government. it is happening in the democratic caucus themselves. you know there are members of the democratic caucus from the moment they put in proxy voting here back in may 2020 that have only been back one time. why? the vote for speaker. and then they have never been back. >> laura: congressman, isn't this also going to be challenged in court? the proxy voting scam that pelosi has been pulling off now for about two years? >> i went to court and hopefully we might hear this week or next week with this marine corps is going to do that. but i've been challenging all the way. if you're the history congress, the matter whether it was the civil war or whatever battle was before it, congress never left. which lead by example. but the people have always been

paid. they are getting paid and they never show up to work. so -- >> laura: it is like robbing. people watching this across the country can't believe that because it is literally robbing the american people of their hard-earned tax dollars to pay people to sit home and watch qvc or whatever the heck it is they are doing and not actually work. because they are supposed to be working for the american people. they are not. and i expect many of your members of congress think that as well. speaking of democrats, pelosi was lecturing all of you today. watch. >> it's their responsibility to deal with it. how we deal with addressing the fear that they have instilled when they are islamophobia and the left is something we can deal with in a bipartisan way. i don't feel like what -- talking about what they are or are not doing. it's disgraceful.

the behavior of their members. >> laura: congressman, islamophobia now apparently the biggest threat from pelosi's point of view. >> i think did the reporter asked her about her member last week who said i work with a ku klux klan? did anyone ask her about congresswoman omar when she said my only support for israel was all about inch of it. or when she said that america is no different than the taliban and would not apologize for that. and nancy pelosi said she wouldn't make her. or what about when she mentioned congresswoman omar that on 9/11 -- but you know what happened to a republican when they made a comment that they really did and truly believe? they apologize. they apologize to the american public and they apologized to the number personally. but this is with the democrats try to continue to do. they need to hold their members

accountable. but you know if they held their members accountable, why would eric swalwell, who could not get security clearance in the private sector, why would they give him the national speaker and let him be on intel committee? that is -- because -- >> laura: i don't think they should be controlling what republicans sit on what committees. and none of you should be apologizing, frankly. at this point, they are the ones who are staying in the hot seat and that should stay that way. congressman, thank you. and mark meadows is fighting back against pelosi and the january 6th committee. today he filed a civil suit against pelosi and all nine committee members -- subpoenas from the committee. with that authority and in violation of the constitution. mark meadows former -- and offer of the chief's chief joins me know.

mark, right before we came to error, congressman bennie thompson and liz cheney called your lawsuit fraud and they will continue supporting contempt charges against you. your response tonight. >> well, obviously congress is going to do what they already intended to do which is hold me in contempt. this lawsuit really goes to the heart of the fact. the fact is we have been trying for weeks and weeks to make accommodations to share on privilege -- and i want to shoot him express that -- nonprivileged information while protecting the executive privilege that president trump has landed yet what we have found is each and every time there is an overreach on the part of the committee. and then in the last 72 hours, we've received a subpoena that went to our telecommunication carrier. it was so broad that you would have to do some type of legislative contortions to find a legislative reason for that

subpoena. and i can tell you, they did this without notifying us. we came to the conclusion that they are still going to try to question those personal private conversations that i had with the president of the united states and other senior officials in the west wing. and quite frankly, their scope is way too broad. so we are going to challenge it. >> laura: sorry. for people who don't understand this, mark is talking about the executive privilege doctrine, which is a little murky. it hasn't been fully litigated at the level that it needs to be litigated to determine the outcome here. about why i found more disturbing is the trawling through private communications, which is what they want to do but they said response to your point that you were already willing to give those over, we want to just ask questions about those text messages. so my question to you is, why

did you want to play ball with them at all? why at all? why? >> i can tell you. because certain nonprivileged communications -- i think what they will find is that no one in the white house had any advanced knowledge of anything that was going to happen on that particular day in terms of the breach of security on january 6th. i can also tell you, and we have said this publicly -- i've shared this with you before -- president trump not only authorized but he curbed the authorization of 10,000 national guards leading up to that. that is not something that you do if you are anticipating some kind of nefarious motive. i will say this. here is the interesting thing. in the spirit of trying to cooperate with this committee, and made a very clear that they are not going to do that. and they are doing a fishing expedition. it is probably believed that they have issued more subpoenas in the last two months than they

have been the last decade. and i can tell you republicans, speakers, and democrats because alike over the history of our country have been very judicious in the subpoenas. and it's now what we are doing -- >> laura: but they are out for blood. i don't need to be frustrated because i've known you for a long time, but you saw what these people did the president trump for four years. >> that is why we are fighting back. spewing yeah, of course they are operating in bad faith. they tried to take out from on a lie, repeated lies about russian collusion. so they don't care about who organized wet. they are trawling for any little tidbit so they can run over to "the new york times" and have an headline that makes you and trump and everyone else look bad. that's what they want. i know what they are doing. speak out without a doubt. and laura, you are exactly right. that is one of the reasons why we are having to fight back. at this particular time, there

is not a legislative motive. and i can tell you, regardless of the consequences, we need to fight back. >> laura: i want to see nancy's text messages and chuck schumer's. wouldn't you love to see those? i will show you mine when you show me yours. mark, thank you. congrats on the book, by the way. "the chiefs chief." a list ours and filled have reboot fever. plus, politics are causing young people to and relationships. what? raymond arroyo will explain. "seen and unseen" next.

there are some shows that just refused to be canonical. here luke one and is now launching a new master class on the power of resilience. and she is speech if i like it is 2016. unimaginably talking to her mother. i know this is the reboot you wit with waiting for. >> so this was supposed to be the victory speech that i would have delivered on election night in new york on november the 8th of 2016. look at me. listen to me. and as hard as that might be to imagine, your daughter will grow up and become the president of the united states. i am as sure of this as anything i've ever known. together, we will make america even greater then it has ever been. >> she really should get an emmy for that. laura, she should do a master class and letting go.

she cannot get past her election laws. i've never seen anything like it. >> laura: she is quite emotional, isn't she? it was just a very odd -- it was odd, raymond. it's the strangest thing. >> since she lost in 2016, she has written a nonfiction book, she has written a fiction book about this, she is on a tour with bill. and they couldn't fill the arena. now master class. i am waiting for the animated special before it is over. this is ridiculous. but firm reboots that won't end to reboots that should never have been come on monday we told the abc was restaging the facts of life in different strokes with an all-star cast. well, it went pretty much as expected. ♪ ♪ >> sit down with me. come here.

>> you know what blair did to me. i have to pay her back. >> why would you pay blair back. that young man out there is the one who is paying. >> you know, laura, mailed acting teacher used to say there are two things you can't play. or young. in this task prove her right on both counts. why is 53-year-old jennifer aniston playing a teenage player, role originated by lisa whelchel by the way who nearly 40 years later who looks exactly the same. she even showed up in the costume at the end. why not let her retreat her original performance? particularly if she is there. >> laura: is there some dramatic effect they are seeking by putting kind of middle-aged people and the roles for children? or is it telling us that truly we are living in an and vandalized adult society. they never -- just like hillary, hillary can't get past the pretty much no one wanted her to

be president and these people can't get past the fact that some of their better dramatic days or perhaps in the past. >> it's big stars on a nostalgic trip. and this is not exactly klugman and tony randall relaunching its own status. which i saw in london and new york. that was different. this is weak material and a list don't make it better. the commercials were the best part. the best thing i can say about it is there were no politics from producers jimmy kimmel and norman lear, and that itself might be an accomplishment. >> laura: that is. and it is also all too rare, raymond, that this disturbing poll by the way showing that young democrats despise -- they don't decide to go mike disagree with republicans -- they despise the other party. not a quarter democrats pulled will not befriend someone who voted for the opposing presidential candidate. 71% wouldn't date someone voted

differently. well, i kind of agree with that. what gives? >> well, let's not tell our friends about that poll. >> laura: that's one couple. you always go back to that. >> well, i think people have to overcome the ideology. ideology and humidity are two different things. and it's important for people on different sides of the aisle to speak to each other and engage each other so they can find common cause, which is something you advocated for years. so i am disturbed by this. but you know, this is why this jesse smollett story is so important. he created a false hope to divide people racially and politically and the young are watching and listening. he should go to jail for many years for that. it is obnoxious with that man tried to pull off. >> laura: all right. we know you and rebecca are on opposite sides of the political spectrum in your house. you mix it up really politically. come on. all right, raiment. thank you. anyone mosque is not just one of those most successful men and

i get it. he wants the chinese to buy a lot of tesla's and whatever else he invents, but given what they are doing on a daily basis, human rights atrocities, the threat to america's future and independence and liberty, may be it time he embraces the person we heard in this first two sound bites. freedom and independence. success can grow from consistency and principles as well. joining me now is someone with a keen sense of who elon musk is, kurt miller who is a contributor at the american conservative and unheard. it is fair to say that musk is a fascinating person. that's i'm trying to say. obviously brilliant. why is your sense on his -- this dichotomy of americans, freedoms, and independence. free market. and then kind of his thoughts on china. >> i think he is just merely the tip of iceberg.
