>> sean: , that is all the time we have left this evening as always, we thank you for making they show possible. thank you for being with us. we hope you will set your dvr s you never miss an episode of hannity radio can always watch it in the morning. if i put it to sleep, that woul be good. in the meantime let not your hearts be troubled, laura ingraham takes it away. >> where are my presence? >> the package is en route. >> meaning? >> laura: ha get their next year some point given the way things are going. >> sean: at the post office. >> laura: i think it's the right size. you're very trim. so you have to give me the review once you get them. >> sean: i don't know what you're up to, but there is no good coming out of this.

i can sense it now. >> laura: freedom matters, my friend. we will see you tomorrow. i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle." mask on, masks off. that is the focus of tonight's angle. our prediction new york governo is going to be celebrated in th press tomorrow for dropping her idiotic mask requirements for businesses only. what wisdom and leadership she has demonstrated. is democrat governors are scrambling to cover their covid tracks, by slowly dropping the mask mandates, we must never ever forget what these people did to us.

>> laura: that viral video from the early days of the pandemic was a sign of bad things to come. film just about a month after dr. insisted masks weren't necessary. they slavishly followed unelected federal health expert and started treating us like guinea pigs. this guy's got a lot less friendly because our experts sought to buy piece of cloth wa going to stop covid transmissio one seat away. >> you can't be serious. >> i am serious. >> we won't let them slink away after what they did commit even to our little ones.

>> we just got kicked off the flight because our two-year-old would not put on a mask and we are banned off of united foreve because the two-year-old would not put on a mask. >> the damage that they left in their power tripping wake using their emergency authority to enforce a new normal. i never like that phrase. a new normal that was number grounded in science and which turned american against american . we became nation of mask snitches. >> not many of them wearing a mask. i spoke to the tampa police and ask them what are you doing about this. now, when it became cool to report on covid violators and b a covid tattletale, you knew we were in trouble. then biden thought he would placate all of you for asking

for just 100 days of masking which turned into a year. but none of it ever mattered. for the well-connected like gavin newsom at the french laundry, and the obama's and th health of the detailed waves celebrating the 60th with a blowout bash and the vineyard. no mask, no problem. celebrity hypocrites already ha an explanation for violating th rules that regular people still had to abide by. >> i wore a mask the entire gam and i put it here when taking a photograph. >> during the mask nightmare th rest of america was still denie entrance to bars and kicked out of jim's, and even chased off beaches.

to get this is america. >> did they cite you first or just put you in handcuffs? >> they didn't cite me, no. >> the entire time the bureaucrats and the politicians who cared so much about children's health, only let the kids back into the classroom if they wore filthy bacteria fille masks for several hours a day. >> all we are asking is that we work in safe and fair conditions . >> but then that wasn't good enough either because suddenly the goalpost shifted again, the cloth and the surgical mask jus stopped working i guess. we just needed and 95. >> we continue to take additional steps to ensure americans have what they need t protect themselves. including by making hundreds of millions of and 95 masks available for free to all americans. have you ever gotten yours? we haven't. as usual, biden is right on time . just in time for omicron to fad away, and even liberal governor to announce that they are slowl dropping the mandate. now not long ago we told you th

democrats would only pull that mask and date when they decided that the issue was hurting them politically. that time has come. governors murphy of new jersey, that lamont of connecticut, joh carney of delaware, gavin newso of california in now we are not celebrating the vision or the codeword covid stewardship, we are outing you for your cynical destructive destructive ineffective meaningless divisive , and frankly illegal abuse of power these past two years. here is what california versus texas covid cases look like on a . the green is texas. you get the point. the mask mandates made no difference. dropping them isn't about cases declining, it's about democrats and chances in november declining. although apparently the white house is willing to sacrifice the midterms for the mask.

>> continues to recommend that any mask is better than no mask. >> they're an important tool to stop the spread, especially of the highly transmittable omicro variant. >> the guidance is clear, we recommend masking in schools, that is the recommendation from the cdc. >> they just can't stop themselves. they called the america first people fanatics. meanwhile, don't like any of them asked people off the hook. instead, remember, they sourced unmasked students to be corralled and many isolation centers or we're kicked out of schools altogether. written with criminal trespassing charges. so they can drop their mandates but we will never drop our demands for accountability. until they are all driven for office from office once and for all.

victor, i was looking back on some of these videos in this septet, which is school system in philadelphia, agents raping this massless guy off, it looks like something out of china. i think we've experienced so much these past few years we forgot just how bad these peopl were, so consistently for so long. >> i think the omicron variant ironically showed that that the science is so out of date and antiquated because they told us just get the vaccination in you're not infectious and you can't be infected you can't be infectious. even with three shots you can. it will medicate their symptoms but the whole vaccination narrative has been weakened. the second one was a lockdown and that this variant is so easily transmissible, it will g anywhere. in this idea that in addition t that, that you're going to get

very ill. it's not as legal as press variant and they are still though it allows the individual to make the decision that we were told weren't possible and not legal. from the very beginning, laura, this pandemic was weapon eyes. it destroyed, the lockdown destroyed a booming january 202 economy. they didn't want to flatten the curve, they wanted to use it in a campaign and an election year that changed voting laws to really harm the chance of donal trump. never in the right minded they think this thing would linger and the vaccinations wouldn't b the magic bullet. now this is happening in revers and it's really starting to hur them, both the economy and most importantly, this next midterm and presidential elections are going to end on that swing vote and suburban voter, and they ar the people who these people are

being by bicoastal elites or that are zooming and came up, did very well. >> stacy abrams, molly, addressed her massless photo opera earlier tonight. watch. >> i took a picture and that wa a mistake. protocols matter and protecting our kids as the most important thing and anything that can be seen as undermining that can be. >> my is to look at the science to follow the protocols, and to set the right example. right now, that example is that we wear masks whenever possible but we recognize we can't be a hard line about this because situations change. >> they are opening the door spread referred number of times to bring back the masks, even when the masks are dropped, you

reaction to abrams backpedal's tonight. >> first of all, i find it interesting that she claimed that anyone who criticized her for not just one picture unmasked, but many pictures of her unmasked, while children we're forced to be masked in he presence, she said that was racism and now she's apologizin for it. i wonder how that switched so suddenly. this claim that there is scientific basis for forcing masking of children, and that the science had suddenly change on that sea don't need to force masking on children, that's not true. throughout the world there was not forced masking of schoolchildren. it was something that happened in the united states. the burden of proof for the lockdown measures, by shutting down the economy to enforce mandates of vaccination, force masking, that burden of proof was never met by these people. they should not be listened to ever again about anything.

>> i think this point, victor o accountability is something tha fair-minded people have to keep in mind. everyone makes mistakes, we get that. this wasn't an innocent mistake. these we're smart people, they knew exactly what they were doing. from beginning to end. the abuse continues to this day of people with whom they disagree. continues to d platform them, e cetera. >> they are convicted by their own words. we saw the e-mail of communications with the head of the cdc and anthony fauci tryin to suppress the story of the wuhan lab. had we known that from the beginning, we could have had a head start on the pandemic. they were so worried about bein accused of gain of function research that they the truth.

we saw the epidemiologist in london who was modeling all these fantastic and really they were completely bankrupt, the young's we're going to die within a few months, and they quoted him chapter and verse, he's never apologized, fauci never apologized. he told is travel bands wouldn' worst and masks were superfluous . they kept changing the narrativ as they went and every time the changed it, they kept getting angrier that we didn't believe them. all they had to do is show a little humility and say we don' know the answers yet, we're doing our best. they're we're dogmatic and now their suffering the wages of their own arrogance fred can ge the mask became a religious expression, something akin to religious expression for the last, and many are still clinging to it including the teachers union, their boss rand weingarten still siding with th teachers over the students. watch. >> the stopping teaching of

history. the, putting them into being mask fate is exhausting trade without last year was hard, thi is the hardest year ever. it was hard, standing staying a home, zooming in classes. exhausting grade. >> what the teachers union did to families in this country is unforgivable. i say that as a daughter of a union member of a public school teacher that was livid at what she saw her former union do. this is exactly what we're talking about. it's true that masking in some context is useful. not thinking about the downside of masking, when you're talking about young children who need t learn and need to be able to se their teacher's lips in order t understand how to read, learnin facial expressions, having all of the good things that come from human interaction with eac other, we have done a horrible disservice to our children in this country.

i fear what they will do when they realize what the country put them through for years unnecessarily, and now, you finally see people kind of agreeing they need to get out o this. you see they teachers union still sticking with some of these draconian mandates that are not necessary. >> victor, i don't think they realize that they really kicked the hornets nest to dovetail of what molly just said, the union don't get it, they still think this is april of 2020 and parents are cowering at home trying to go over lesson plans with their kids and their patients, i don't think they ge it, parents are livid, they wan their kids taught regular history, not lies, and not racial demonization. most parents want the masks gone . they don't get it.

the corporate media and wall street, professional sports, k- 12, but that's not the people. they hear that echo table and they get more arrogant and they see each other in the same cloud , but they have no idea that what is right believe thei noses there is a whole revolution going on of middle-class people in their losing support daily. >> a record being. victor in molly, thank you so much. for joining me now, dr. kevin mccauley, based in dallas, texas . i want to quickly talk about th hurt feelings of the covid experts who botched so much fro the very beginning. so after two years, of them willing on you and on anyone on of the worst offenders is very

upset at us. watch. >> i had fox news target me for two nights last week and it's very scary when that happens to become part of the new aspects of what the far right has been doing, not only working to discredit the science, but actually discrediting individua scientists, and going after them . so it is a tough time to be a scientist as we say. >> they are often wrong, never in doubt. >> i tell you, i think each and every physician needs to have a great degree of humility. this has been a rapidly developing pandemic over the last two years. the information cycle is tremendous. i think fox has done a great jo with the data. you just saw what i thought was mask chaos in the prior section of the show.

it should have been clear, once the study showed that the virus was not transmitted asymptomatic , the masks should have come off, any masking mild people, and what we need to do from this point forward is to have a great humility from our public health officials and those in academia. >> so many of them were so horribly wrong, and yet so highly pedigreed, if they continue to stand in positions of power, and in dismiss and denigrate those who were actually right from the beginning whether it's about vitamin d3 or therapeutics, social distancing not really working, spraying your feud or your packages, all of it was false. but they want to kind of glide along and say well, you know, things change, science changes, let's just move on. how important as it to look bac

and get it right, and hold people accountable accountable for persistence and almost purposeful errors in judgment, scientific judgment? >> you know there is a term we use and the clinical trials tha is called being responsive to the data. i wouldn't give high marks for our public health officials. even though some in the media i terms of being responsive to th data it's always humbling to have a rapidly evolving viral pandemic where there is so many unbalanced, and what we need no is we need just a fresh new start. the emergency phase of the pandemic is closed, you see countries now dropping mandates across the board, i think when we drop all the mandates and th united states across-the-board, it will become a national holiday. >> dr., would you recommend tha any child without a pre-existin condition or any child in decen health, get these vaccines at this point? yes or no?

>> no, there is a paper from mmwr at the end of december fro the cdc, where it doesn't look good, it looks like serious conditions for the first time now we see heart injury in children before puberty, they should not be given under any circumstance. >> dr., you have been courageou and brave, we thank you so much. in moments, we will dissect the republicans big choice involvin the military-industrial complex. we have the viral video that is frankly terrifying debunking that statement. and nourish your soul. escape to exactly what makes your heart beat.

you will love every moment. jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go.

♪ >> laura: out of the total incompetence are top military leaders demonstrated in afghanistan in now their continued commitment to divisiv race and gender ideologies. are any conservatives to think that giving the pentagon more money at this point is a really good idea? i give you the list cheney that is so popular, the editorial pages. time to increased defense spending, the u.s. will face challenges from the new allianc between china and russia, while we will face those challenges,

but giving these people as salary increase is obviously a terrible idea which is why my next guest argues argues that the understanding in the way up a new republican party. so robert maria is contributing editor of the and a visiting fellow at franciscan university. rob, why should we pop more money into the military when it is apparently just populated according to the ap with all of these racist and biased horribl people that they are trying to purge from it. >> i think you nailed it. there is this reflex, and it's not really, we can't blame just the democrats. it is always expensively trying to get involved with every corner of the world, and expanding liberal democracy

everywhere. it's very misplaced given the state the country is in. you mention race and gender ideology. we're a country that internally can't agree why the american revolution was launched. we can't agree about what man and woman are. and then more than that materially speaking where a country facing a sentinel crisis , a huge border crisis. declining life expectation expectation for working-class people which is unheard of in the rest of the developed world in the face of all of this, thi kind of externally focused agenda which is partly military but partly all these national endowment for democracy is sometimes a real and other e-mails you get on the alert saying that rights and lgbt rights in his pakistan are unde threat, and we're thinking step outside and look at the addicts at union station, look at where i live in new york city, look a the attics and the mentally ill on our what universe does this kind of washington live in it

doesn't reflect our reality, that's the argument in the op-ed , conservative shouldn't be behind this kind of liberal imperialism expansionism anymore . >> laura: it's been rejected by the voters. first when they swapped mccain for obama, elected obama again and then elected donald trump who believes we should be less extended all around the globe, so the voters have been saying year after year after year stop and the republican party keeps trying to lurch back to the glory bush days. but speaking of bush, what he would say in response is, you'r just going back to isolationism that's the disaster, that means freedom will not be on the march , and backward looking, your response to that? >> i would say first of all, there is nothing wrong with the nation saying we are going to consolidate what we have right now because we are losing it internally, second of all there is a middle ground between tota

isolation which of course doesn't make sense, where a hug continental nation with alleys from around the world, it doesn't mean we should for example try to constantly expan the nato and including into countries where it would obviously bring up a conflict with russia, why would we want to spark more conflict when we don't need to. so we definitely defend our treaty allies in east asia and in europe, but mindlessly expanding nato, what does nato sanction mean? it means bringing more geographic space into the same kind of woke ideology that conservatives don't like at home , so why press for it,. >> rob, fascinating piece. you annoyed all the right peopl with it, so great to see you tonight. now the tale of two borders. our northern one is getting the attention it divorce since the

vaccine mandate policies throug things into chaos up there, but don't take your eye off of what is happening at our southern border. its incomplete shambles with illegals pouring across by the hundreds of thousands every month. in the open borders left want you to believe that everyone is coming here is just poor, downtrodden, oppressed, leaving gang violence, nice law-abiding people who just want to come an work at our local businesses. but the reality, sure there are four people coming, a lot of them but biden and his dhs secretary are also letting people like this woman sneak into our country every single day. i hope you're sitting down for this one. >> stay right there. , down. , down.

get your foot back in there. get your foot back in there. >> we are going to have to tase you. >> [indiscernible] >> laura: wow. if a phone call to that ukrainian ambassador that ends up somehow being an impeachable offense, the ongoing conspiracy two under nine our national sovereignty and rule of law should be a slamdunk and impeachable defense. here now is don rosenberg, president of advocates for illegal alien crime. they don't want you call it an illegal alien anymore, that is forbid, you can't do that. that woman who seems demonic or a good actress, is part of a crime wave coming into the country. but the big focus this week i guess as the super bowl.

>> he seems to have his priorities always backwards and certainly he does here. your comment about people comin in and all of a sudden there is a lot of truth to that, but the question that i have asked for 11 years is how many people, an this case we will talk about over a million they just came i in the last year, what is an acceptable number of murderers, and regular criminal errors out of that group. and that's the immigration system is supposed to check tha before they come in. but we just let them come in, pay to fly them around the country and actually paid the money to help them get her. >> if the number is closer to 2 million i believe who we have encountered at the border, once the neighbors that agents weren't able to apprehend, this year numbers are staggering, an yet, i think americans are so

overwhelmed with so much at one time that the number is kind of numbing until they arrive in a rural or more small suburban part of the country as we have seen over the last year. does that change this dynamic once and for all? >> i think it would change the dynamic is if most of the media would show it. turn on many of your competitors , look at the newspapers come eight you don't see any of that. it's all hidden. in the rare time when you do se something, they always turn it around and make those people th victims. >> we will never let this issue go, we care about all americans all backgrounds, races and ethnicities, if you are here illegally, we want you to have the greatest life ever, if you're not, you need. >> back in line. matthew daggett's life was

upended a year ago when he was falsely accused of a felony and handed over to a blm moms now that he's been acquitted, he is here to tell us his story exclusively. stay with us. things were as sharp as i knew they once were. i heard about prevagen and then i started taking it about two years now. started noticing things a little sharper, a little clearer. i feel like it's kept me on my game. i'm able to remember things. i'd say give it a try. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> and early 2021 that san dieg county district attorney offere up then police officer matthew vegas as a kind of a sacrificia liam to appease the blm radicals . they charged him with the excessive use of force and gave the liberal mob license to make life hell for him and his family . for more on that we turn to fox matt sims. >> he is a former police office here in southern california and la mesa, he and his wife say th liberal politicians of la mesa put them through the fires of hell for 2020 arrest video showing him appearing to use a

very low level of force to arrest a combative man. police officer the matthew is questioning the black man and a basketful jersey, the video shows the man swipe at or slap him he grabs the man shirt, forces him to sit down, and the instructs him that he's is goin to be arrested. >> i didn't put nothing on you. it's on camera so you can check it. >> i'm talking you and you smacked me. >> nobody smacked you. while you grab me though? >> and placing you under arrest. >> the office the incident happened around the time a george floyd's murder. this video went viral and tryin to compare to the floyd incident . he and his wife say la mesa politicians bowed to the mob using him as a scapegoat very charging him with filing up a false police report to arrest the suspect. however a california journey down him not guilty of that

felony charge he says the trial costume close to $100,000 and now he is looking to get his jo back. >> thank you for that update. joining me now is the former la mesa police officer. matthew, there was a frenzy after the killing of george floyd in this country. and you were part of that it looks like fred has the city of la mesa apologized for what the put you all through? >> no, unfortunately there has been no apology give them. it was quite a frenzy not only for me i think but for all law enforcement officers throughout the country during that time an still as it is today. >> matthew, i want to get into specifically what happened to you and your family as a result of these false charges, but thi is from security camera footage outside of your home and you ca see the blm protesters marching matthew, how often did that happen? and how did they know where you lived?

to get it never happens, i don' think that's anything a police officer expects to have happen. as a police officer you expect the danger is going to be in th field, so when you go home at night, you want to feel safe, everyone does and you never expect to have a protest outsid your house. right frankly, it was terrifying . for my whole family. >> where they screaming, it was it every night? how frequent was it? >> it was a couple of days and it led into that weekend in may which throughout the whole country, where the riots took place, thankfully, my family an i, we were gone by then, we lef the house at that point. >> so they drove you out of the house? is that a fair statement? >> we ended up having to sell the house. it wasn't a safe place for me o my family to be anymore.

>> wait a second. you had to sell your house as criminals are wet free in a revolving door of madness in california. a police officer had to sell hi house. >> that is correct. unfortunately, it was no longer a safe spot. you never think your home is going to be something that will be under attack. >> laura: at this point, how much have you lost? i mean financially how much hav you lost? professionally what have you lost? emotionally? >> i describe it to people that i've lost everything to be honest. i've lost my career, my family was under this terror for the last year and a half now. thankfully we have come out victorious on that in. but also on top of that, we wer set back about $100,000 in lega

fees, so we have been put through the ringer. in the name of a guest justice. >> we are showing video of what happened after that incident, there was massive protest, lots of chaos in la mesa as we saw all across the country at that time. i'm thinking of you and your family i want to figure out a way to do something for you guys , we will have to figure that out and how that could be organized. you have a job? are you able to work now? you have a way to your support yourself after all of this? >> i am still not working. my focus is getting back in uniform, that is something that i have my wife and i are fighting to do that, we still are going through the court process to get me reinstated to get my backpay, to get basicall my life back into really get my

name from any wrongdoing for it can cute this has to be rectified. this just can't happen. this is absolutely insane. i know the country watching thi is with you tonight and your family. it's going to work out, but thank you for your service and we are going to follow this and i will be in touch with you off-line. the u.s. capitol police force now under investigation for spying on republican members of congress. that's happening to. shocking details.

>> lisa cheney january 6 reveng fantasy has taken another disturbing turn. the u.s. capitol police are now under investigation by the inspector general for allegedly spying on sitting members of congress. now, this is response to a stunning blue go piece last month about how the capitol police quietly started scrutinizing the backgrounds of people who meet with lawmakers after january 6. it gets worse very considerate the extremes of detroit nelson of texas. according to him a capital police officer entered his office on saturday november 21s of last year and snapped a phot of the whiteboard that had suspicious writings on it.

of course, these we're ideas fo legislation, but that doesn't matter the capital police sent three plainclothes intel officers to grill the staff. joining out is senior editor at american greatness and author o january 6, how democrats use th capital protest to launch terro against the political right. julie, how is this all now just getting the attention it deserves? >> i think because republicans have intentionally not just in what happened on january 6, but ever since, i mean look, the intelligence unit was headed up by now by an obama official who retired right before election day, she has expanded this intelligence unit who the capital police were allowed to even have an intelligence unit imposing these dossiers not jus on lawmakers and staffers, but also their donors and even thei constituents.

laura, you know how this goes. they will collect all this information, leak it to the press, the press will anonymously sourced it to intelligence officials, and thi is all part of an ongoing smear campaign that the capital polic are part and parcel to this, they are unaccountable federal enforcement agency, they are no to react to any lawyer request, they're helping consider surveillance videos, all of their documents and communications, correspondence related to january 6. so what is the capital police hiding while at the same time they are snooping around capito hill trying to collect what the think is going to be damaging information against republicans. >> congressman nels was on with tucker earlier tonight. watch. to get they knew the extremist groups would be there and they did nothing with a. i have expose this, i am being targeted right now and i believ

that nancy pelosi is weapon icing that u.s. capitol police to investigate me to try to silence me, intimidate me, and quite honestly to destroy me. >> laura: we talked about this on the podcast earlier today, but do you agree with that? >> absolutely. she has been using the capital police commissioner use them on january 6 and as they were attacking protesters in other instances they were writing hundreds of them into the building, congress over about $2 billion to them in emergency supplemental funds that now i guess they are using to expand the intelligence unit this is part of capital police the justice department as i write about in my book, all working collaboratively together to use the four hour disturbance on capitol hill as pretext to unleash this war on terror against americans on the end this and down to regular

americans who walked into the building. >> sorry to interrupt, before i let you go. how many people from your reporting are still being kept, if any in solitary confinement, of the suspects, do you know? >> a little bit more of 3,000 that are locked down 20 to hour a day in their cells as they were initially, and we do have political prisoners and the nation's capital, that is not a exaggeration for it. >> julia, we appreciate your reporting on this. new york city mayor eric adams noted the difference between veggies and fish. the last bite explains. jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go!
