♪ ♪ >> sean: unfortunately that is all the time we have left this evening. as always you make this show possible. we hope you set your dvr so you never miss an episode but in the meantime let not your hearts be troubled, there she is, laura ingraham takes you to bed tonight. i don't know. >> laura: that's great, oh, my god. i'm going to let that slide. laura: that sounded great, oh my god. i'm going to let that slide. >> it said hannity takes you home. laura: it is always about you. every narrative goes back to you and your construction work. i want to convict you of elder abuse on president biden, playing his soundbites reading the cues him of the speech cues

when it said positive he reads, that is so mean, that could happen to any of us, it could happen during my angle. elder abuse. >> sounds on tape. >> i'm going to say of c s. all right. i'm laura ingraham and this is the ingraham angle. 3 years ago jussie smollett had liberals in washington, hollywood, and the media believing -- the jury convicted him of multiple printable counts related to the phony attack but tonight we convict everyone in power who aided and abetted his lies, civil rights icon bob woodson is here to explain why this verdict may be a watershed moment. hijacking democracy is the focus

of tonight's angle. today, if you are up super early you might have missed something super pretentious and super hypocritical. president biden hosted something called the summit for democracy. >> in the next -- and this moment will fundamentally determine the direction our world will take in the coming decade. will we allow the backward slide of rights in democracy to continue unchecked or will we together have a vision of courage to once more lead the march a few in progress and human freedom forward. >> the ultimate irony is almost everything the democrats are doing these days weakens our

democracy and our freedom. mandating vaccines and masks, investigating concerned parents, calling them terrorist threats, canceling political adversaries via their social media pals, appeasing china, eliminating voter id, opposing signature verification in elections, promoting ballot harvesting. does any of that sound pro-freedom to you? when biden warns about democracy backsliding is preemptively excusing what will likely be a crushing loss for his party and the midterms and even in 2024. you know they are desperate when they send out the person with the approval rating of a planters wart. >> here in the united states we know that our democracy is not immune from threats, january 6th looms large in our collective conscience and the anti-voter laws many states passed are part of an intentional effort to exclude americans from participating in our democracy.

>> her argument is the laws require you to show id to vote or clear people often voting rolls to verify signatures on mail in ballots are somehow to her and i democratic because they believe illegal immigrants should voter the biggest threat facing america looks like this guy, the course light and took selfys in the capitol on january 6th. you see that guy? that guy and others like him are going to throw us into a totalitarian event. how pathetic. the reason democrats are so rabid about the so-called freedom to vote act is in practical terms it would be a democrat incumbent protection racket. among other things would bypass state authority by nationalizing rules for voter registration and mail in ballots, that means goodbye meaningful election

security laws but liberals don't get lots of help from media elites to sell or miss about the dark cloud anti-democracy cloud hanging over the gop. people like former conservative david brooks our stock in an early 2000s time warp helps market the trump as authoritarian myth writing trumpian authoritarianism doesn't renounce holy war, it embraces holy war, assumes it is permanent and seeks to make it so. in the trumpian world disputes are settled by raw power and intimidation. holy war? has david never heard of dick cheney, does he not know how often the bush family relied on raw power and intimidation to get its way. as long as the warrior jesus

dominates the gop brutality will be admired over benevolence, propaganda over discourse, confrontation over conservatism, to humanization over dignity. abu ghraib. who was president when that was going on and who was the vice president? it wasn't donald trump or mike pence was the establishment we have known for decades is losing power and being replaced by smarter better people. i like to think of mike pompeo as secretary of state versus anthony blinken. enough said. not only is the gop getting smarter, it's reach is broadening at now appealing to minorities once thought safely in a democrat camp in previous years. in 2020 trump put together the most diverse gop coalition in 60 years. of that authoritarian. hispanic voters in texas and

florida flocking to the republican banner, republicans also made huge inroads with suburban women in virginia who are concerned about what their kids are being taught in the schools and then vilified for it. the fact is republicans, not democrats have become more democratic. think of it this way. since 1988 the gop was essentially run by one family, the bushes. if you are on their good side all was well but if you questioned them or dared to criticize them you were shunned. but it is not the democracy when your party is controlled by big donors and one small sleeper family. for years the conservative grassroots were demanding real change in things like foreign policy, border policy, trade policy but they were summarily ignored until trump came along and david brooks and others like him want to return to the old days when gop voters lost gracefully and lost regularly by

following naïve globalist dreams. >> we assign a that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world. america welcomes the emergence of a strong and peaceful and prosperous china. >> which brings me back to biden's summit today, the biggest tell that this has nothing to do with promoting democracy is the fact that the president of the eu was invited. >> we know how painful it is when a small group takes unlimited power and imposes a single vision on all of society. it is why we've put forward measures to help protect people online from illegal content, hidden political advertisement, or disinformation. it is why we are proposing to add hate speech and hate crime

to the list of crimes in our treaties. >> i'm going to trust her to regulate hate speech. a transnational, undemocratic body that is totally unaccountable to the voters in their own countries imposing speech restrictions to punish their political opponents. of course biden and pelosi would love nothing more than to do the same and they are trying to. they see what is coming down the road if they actually let democracy play out here. so they are going to pull out all the stops to make sure that does not happen even if they have to hijack democracy to do it and that is the angle. joining me now is missouri senator josh holly. the left pretend this is all about protecting democracy but what did you glean from what happened at the summit today? >> what stands out to me is it

was one long anti-american tirade by the president of the united states and various members of his administration. they don't like american voting laws, they don't like american history. they want to rewrite our culture and completely change it. this is a guy who doesn't really like american told the world i'm sorry about america and the way that is, we should be different. if you let us have power long enough we will transform the country. meanwhile he is letting china walk all over him, he is leading an actual authoritarian dictator call the shots. i thought it was embarrassing and sad and just shows you how out of touch president biden is and what a failure he has been. >> they are really worried about next year. they see, on the rocks. biden barely able to read a teleprompter.

it looks really ugly and a lot of these racists. they are cooking up something. you can feel it in the area and if they don't get those voting laws passed. >> there excuse why they're going to lose next year, they are going to lose because their agenda is so unpopular. what they want to do in the country is so desperately disliked by americans and there excuse is going to be america is a systemically racist country and our voting laws are stacked against us. this is the narrative they are preparing and i go back to their continuing assault on america.h you hear the biden administration sang today and over and over is america is systemically racist, systemically oppressive, systemically evil, just so terrible and the american people are too dumb to understand how good we offer them. it's quite the reverse. the american people are good people, this is a great nation and it is rejecting president biden and that shows how sharp the american people really are.

laura: one of the more bizarre but predictable, shouldn't call it bizarre, they trotted out janet yellen at the democracy summit to trash our tax laws as somehow anti-democratic. watch. >> especially when it comes to help people. taxes or how they don't. last year more than $600 billion was withheld from public coffers because of our broken tax system. the country is deprived of funding for things that benefit everyone. laura: they get to decide what benefits other people, by taking other people's money but the money always stays in washington

to grow, does it not? >> exactly right and here's the message, you just heard it out of the mouth janet yellen that the american tax system is fundamentally evil and fundamentally backwards and needs to be fundamentally changed, the same message of were you look from this administration, america is fundamentally flawed. they are totally wrong about that and as it turns out the american people don't like being told they are a bunch of backwards idiots, parents don't like being told they are domestic terrorists and the american people aren't going to have it. they know who the real idiots are here, the people in charge of this administration, time to quit apologizing for america and start standing up for america and making it strong again and that should be the test. laura: they are totally jealous of the eu because it's hard to make political change in the eu the way the political systems organize, the multiparty system, glad we are getting those higher gas prices but we love your system, your crackdown on free-speech. i need to remind everyone how

these levers of democracy reacted to a pretty big victory in 2016. >> just as sure as donald from won last night so did racism, so did sexism, so did class -- >> you believe you lost narrowly because of sexism? >> i think it had an impact. >> the russians participated in having this man get elected. >> from won by voter suppression. >> it is always and i democratic when they lose, always. >> exactly. that is why they want to change all of that are laws right now across the country with the stroke of a pen in washington dc, they want to take control of every state's laws and rewrite them to benefit themselves which you talk about anti-democratic, the truth is the american people

are good people, smart people, they can make their own decisions and don't need to be told by president biden that they are systemically evil and racist and backwards. it just isn't true. the democrat party have lost sight of who america is, what our history is and what our destiny is going to be in the american people is going to put up with it much longer. every time they get a chance to be heard at the ballot box there is a loud and clear we don't want this agenda, we want a different future for this country. laura: with pfizer's ceo now predicting fourth booster, might be time to start asking is this still about the science, the immunologist was part of a group that did some of the early research on the mrna vaccine is here with a warning for all of you. stay there. severity, using less or a lot less oral pain medicines. and improved quality of life.

that's why we recommend salonpas. it's good medicine.

where's mom? she said she would be home in time for the show. don't worry, sweetie. she promised she'd be here for it. ooh! nice shot! thanks! glad we have xfinity, with wifi speed faster than a gig! me too! woah, look! mom is on tv! she's amazing! (cheers) xfinity brought us together, after all! power your whole home this holiday with wifi speeds faster than a gig. click, call, or visit a store today. sing 2 >> is it a matter of when, changes in a matter of when, not if the definition of fully vaccinated changes? >> my personal opinion is what you said is correct, it is a matter of when, not if. is a public health person i just say get your third shot, forget

with the definition is. laura: just do it. it is supposed to be about science but sounds more like he's in a nike commercial. one only needs to look abroad to see where the booster mania is going, in israel government officials are considering whether to mandate a fourth covid shot due to the emergence of the omicron variant. how long before that comes here? >> what do we see? to determine if omicron is covered and for how long. we will need a fourth dose. we need to wait and see. laura: wait a minute. science again, or is this about profit for big pharma? it is not about making pharma execs rich than it is time to

start asking questions about the effectiveness in vaccines in ending the pandemic. doctor byron bridal in canada is part of the group who studied the first amrna covid vaccine. what is going on here? >> thanks for having me again. i have to say this is ludicrous. this is a case of trying to take something that is completely ineffective as by administering endless doses somehow it seems like health professionals thinks this will become effective. there is so much data showing these vaccines can never achieve the goal of heard immunity. what i want to check out is keep in mind the definition of vaccines was altered to allow the term to be applied to the current in occupations. the generation of immunity is too short.

the covid virus has been effectively developing new variants that can readily even aid this immunity. the omicron variant has so many mutations in the spike protein it will be able to more effectively evade vaccine immunity than adults our variance did and the combination of all these things combined with the fact that there is although people try to hide it as much as possible, becoming impossible to hide the harms these vaccines are causing and no question now the cost-benefit analysis makes no sense. people who are fully vaccinated which the two doses at the moment can still get infected, they can still get covid, they can still die of covid and they transmit the virus in at least equal quantity to those with no immunity. laura: what they say is it really reduces hospitalization and chance of death, so the

upside is very positive and discount the other side effects or hard issues or -- serious illness or death. regular people, sounds good to me. >> okay. a great point. if that is the case that people get vaccinated and can reduce their risk if they perceive it to be doing such in getting the severe potentially fatal disease doesn't mean everybody else should be getting it. that is an individual benefit. in terms of benefit to all the people around the data is very clear there 0 benefit to people around individuals who are double vaccinated. they are shedding as much high risk, makes no sense to push the vaccine from that context and the fourth doses are coming to america, no question. we are seeing for a long time this is all about the profit it is clear, it has to be because it is not about the science

saying we should not be pushing these vaccines, we should not be mandating them and every dose the gets that it is a gross amount profit for these companies. >> i want to get to that because pfizer has a noose company slogan, what is good for pfizer is good for the global economy. >> you expect to generate more than $35 billion in sales this year. what would you say to those who regard it as immoral to cash in during a pandemic? >> i believe we save the global economy. i think it is a strong incentive for innovation for the next pandemic. laura: he's on to the next pandemic. reaction quickly. >> this is ridiculous, clearly when these individuals make these statements there are massive conflicts of interest and i want to be clear the delta variant although more transmissible was much less

dangerous, the only con variant, much less transmissible than the delta variant wasn't probably less dangerous so because of the cost-benefit analyses which were very questionable for the vaccines to begin with with this new information makes no sense, most people do not require the vaccines let alone third, and fourth and possibly additional doses and we need americans to recognize this, stand up, recognize the lunacy of what is going on, there is tyranny and all kinds of countries around the world and america as a leader when it comes to health and public health and many countries, the country i am in follows the fda. we need americans to recognize this lunacy, stand up and stop. this should never happen. laura: a new type of -- go ahead.

>> we have to go but it is a new type of tyranny and it is getting worse by the day especially how they are treating the kids, appreciate it and time is again the in the graham angle has proven to be ahead of the curve on covenant the new york times reporting the coronavirus attacks fat tissue, the research may help explain why people who are overweight and obese have been at high risk of severe listen death. my next guest pointed this out on our show in the first weeks of the pandemic. joining me now is doctor stephen smith of the smith center for infectious diseases. doctor smith, what took them so long and did they really get it right at the new york times? >> what took them so long i don't know. the lesson to be learned, it is okay to say the emperor has no clothes, the establishment wouldn't accept the fact that obesity was a risk factor for severe covid. i don't know why, the data that we found, to several different

reading journals, said basically essentially they believe me, just chart data, published data but to your prior guest's view i agree we should be using science and science and risk factors in epidemiology to vaccinate those art risk, not everybody and waning immunity, and wanes which quicker than any vaccine we ever had so makes no sense to focus on people at risk, not everybody. >> how is it, sorry to interrupt but if you can explain briefly how does obesity or high bmi, how is that a higher risk factor, what does the virus do? >> that is one of the problems, we wants to know how and why. how and why don't matter.

what is matters. nice to see the study from stanford that they took, adipose fat tissue, from obesity surgery, cardiac surgery and tested the ability of the virus to grow. macrophages within the disease fat tissues as well, that makes sense but making sense and physiology of medicine don't matter, what matters is what you see, what happens with patients, that is where we have gone wrong. medicine is a profession of observers, we stopped observing and tried to fit round pegs in square holes instead of saying look at what we have, what does it mean and how do we use this information going forward, we just didn't do that. refused to -- >> for young people you could game it out, and estimate for young people, younger people under the age of 40 who got

severe covid, severe covid or died in a smaller number so what percentage of them had high bmi? >> or something else going on. i didn't have high bmi or some sort of other things going on, usually transplant patients, bad diabetics or high bmi and we didn't see that many more than a handful. that got moderately ill. laura: you had to have one of those comorbidities. you are so far ahead of the curve on so many issues going to march of 2020, thank you tonight. with the help of president biden and kamala harris at the mainstream press, jussie smollett attempted to use politics and race to rip the country apart.

tonight he was justifiably found guilty for his insidious race hoax. bob woodson is here to unpack this ruling and why it is so important.

b1 justice was done today with actor jussie smollett c laura: justice was a factor jussie smollett convicted by a jury of his peers on 5 of 6 accounts related to the 2019 fake racial attack in chicago. important to remember, outlandish accusations were aired uncritically for two weeks. this was a narrative that confirmed the left's worst views about america, attackers in amaga had from anti-gay slurs, a black man in a white supremacist country. >> jussie smollett was viciously beaten, we know it was a hate crime. >> for his well-being.

every day, you think i am annoying. i want to know that you are okay. >> this is happening for a reason, coming from the president of the united states, dog whistling every day, separating and dividing. laura: today's verdict wasn't just an indictment of jussie smollett but of the entire leftist media apparatus and political elites who parroted his lies from the start. joining as a civil rights activist and founder of the woodson center. what is the big lesson going forward here? >> thanks for having me back. first of all, the lesson is america's judicial system is fair and just, not only was this decision but also, the rittenhouse decision was made the same day that decision was made. a young man named andrew coffee

who was on trial for shooting a police officer that entered his house was found innocent, also not guilty but our judicial system is fair decade ago in small town, two white police officers were found guilty of murder in the black-and-white by all-white jurors, they did not ready to wokenest but jussie smollett committed moral treason by exploiting the legacy of the civil rights movement using it to advance his career and that has dire consequences for police resources that have been employed to investigate the case, these are resources that could have been spent trying to reduce the murder rate that is

an all-time high in chicago's dangerous killing fields but jussie smollett and his enablers put his personal interests ahead of the health and welfare of thousands of blacks, that is why i accuse him of committing moral treason. laura: he also thought that playing the victim, the defiant victim in a racist society was going to help him professionally. all these people you saw the media folks, hollywood still rallied to him even after his story started to fall apart they still didn't want to believe he lied about this but he thought and rightly so it would help him, correct? >> yeah. he put his selfish interests

above the interest and well-being of thousands of blacks in inner cities. think about all the police resources used to investigate this hoax. these are resources that could have been deployed in those neighborhoods was more blacks are killed in one year by other blacks than were killed and lynched in 4 of the clan and yet we are talking about jussie smollett exploiting that. they are in danger of returning us to the pre-civil rights south. i live in mississippi in the 50s in the military and i can tell you what it was like. when a black killed another black often they were not arrested and what we demanded was equal justice for the law and i went to jail with this all rights movement and others so that we would be treated fairly

by law enforcement system and yet we don't get upset when blacks kill other blacks, it only matters when it is taken by a white person. >> your words tonight, we've got to roll but your words tonight are giving me chills because more people needs to hear this with civil rights icon. jussie smollett be brought up on federal charges? of course not, they are too busy investigating january 6th, the doj unsealed charges against thomas conover of texas was what was his crime? entering the capitol while drinking beer and saying i don't always storm the capitol of the united states of america but when i do i prefer coors light.

joining is harmeet dhillon. it seems the doj right now is deliberately trying to i think intimidate conservatives, former trump supporters from gathering together before the midterm election, infiltrator in the crowd, who knows what could happen and then your life is over. >> absolutely. what is happening is the doj has been weaponized and used against supporters of the prior president in a way that is really unprecedented in this country, but you see in third world countries or places where they don't have full of law and put political enemies in prison. some things you haven't even heard about our this doj prosecuting 4-year-old alleged

donor violations of trump donors right before the statute of limitations runs out which is not been done in prior administrations, subpoenas going out from the house to members of the republican national committee, having nothing to do with being at the capitol just to harass them and use the persecution of lawyers and advisors of the former president being handled by the doj on charges against supporters like steve bannon and others and at the same time the same doj weaponized and against parents who are standing up for the rights of their children and the doj hunting journalists like james o'keefe, my client who happens to be a critic of this administration and has uncovered corruption. from our doj which was less active and should have been under trump for advancing american interest in civil rights in our courts you have the exact opposite, absolutely biased, out-of-control and there seems to be almost no oversight

happening in the house or the senate on these issues. laura: one quick question before we go, your thoughts on this. earlier tonight, new york city, passed a bill giving noncitizens the right to vote in city elections. is this a sign of things to come? >> absolutely. this is happening in different cities around the united states? in san francisco even illegal alien parents can vote in school board election so to my surprise when i looked this up to file a lawsuit to challenge it, it is not illegal for this to happen. you can expect to see it happening all over the place and city governments are not trivial. they give a lot of benefits and contracts, and a lot of those will go towards immigrant causes. as an immigrant i think immigrants should not be allowed

unless they are united states citizens to vote. laura: we have 4 million people, almost 4 million people who crossed our border illegally approximately. that's a lot of new voters. crime in la is out-of-control but george gascon still insists his soft on crime agenda is working as a mother whose son was murdered and is leading a renewed effort to recall gascon is back in moments. stay there.

♪ ♪ >> laura: you've been following the crime stories out of la it's clear why there's a renewed effort to recall george gascon from office, and crime is totally out of control. at a press conference yesterday, insisted things just couldn't be better. >> we set a path for ourselves to turn around the common legal system in a way that will become more humane, more equitable and create a safer environment for all of us.

>> a year after his soft on crime agenda crime is raging, murders in la up nearly 47% shootings of 50%, carjackings of 53%. not difficult to draw a line from his approach to crime to the lawlessness we are seeing today, he's totally unsafe. >> >> la residents shopping, you and your policies. >> actually not. >> a lot ask my next guest, it is trending toward leniency as it did for her son's killers. last recall effort fell short but do you think this renewed effort given everything that has

happened? >> definitely. thanks for having me again. i definitely feel this time we have this completely, better organized and people are seeing firsthand the effects that george gascon's policies are having on public safety. more people are going to get involved and this time around we have a better grasp of things and have to understand the first effort, grassroots effort and we have the funds to start this. we raise 2.5 million before starting so we are well prepared and ready to get going. laura: is there a day that goes by when the death of your son, the killing of your son doesn't dominate a good part of your thinking? >> there is not one day that goes by that i don't think of my son.

i wake up every day thinking about my son. i go to bed thinking about him, he's constantly on my mind but at the end of the day this is more than my story. this is about many other victims that are living today without a loved one and hurting just as much as i am so this fight is not only from my son. i'm doing what i can for every voiceless victim out there. this is what i need to do, what my calling is. i'm doing this for everyone, but yes, it hurts every single day what i'm going through and it doesn't help that george gascon is re-victimized in the by his criminal agenda and what he's done to my son's case. it is awful. i don't think he understands what he is doing. >> he sounds like he is

completely, either insane or completely ignorant or just doesn't care, the three options. none of them are any good. it seems when there's a prominent individual gets murdered in beverly hills as we saw last week or the week before maybe people start paying attention because rich people are now being affected. your son's life mattered a lot and you are doing an amazing job and we will keep tabs on this and please stay in touch going forward. the media continues to embarrass themselves. the last bite explains.

>> laura: even more laura: even more pathetic than hillary reading her victory speech the other day was a certain supplicant's reaction to it. >> i hope this speech is available for little girls and

little boys in schools, i hope it is available in history. i hope is available in the smithsonian because there will be a woman president and that woman president is going to be standing on the shoulders of hillary clinton. >> standing on the shoulders? the woman president is going to be a conservative. tune in tomorrow night for exclusive interview with donald trump. that is it for us which america now and forever. gutfeld next. >> the verdict is in and jussie smollett is found guilty of staging a crime in a city where real crime is out-of-control but the smollett saga isn't over yet. todd: the white house is going ahead with the lawlessness plaguing american cities the president biden did do something, he appointed a far left us attorney
