is all the time we have left for this evening. as always, thank you for being with us, you make this show possible. we'll never forget it. please set your dvr so you never miss an episode of and i did. by the way, that laptop machine, a guy that picked up hunter's laptop will be with us tomorrow. meantime let not your heart be troubled. laura's nextment see you tomorrow night. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. the power shift, that's the focus of tonight's angle. a 14 year old girl still not fully developed who demands to have her breasts cut off. a 15 year old boy who wants to have his penis removed. a ten year old taking drugs to interfere with hormones that make puberty possible. this is what joe biden promoted today. >> to parents of transgender children, affirming your child's identity is one of the most

powerful thing you can could to keep them safe and healthy. to any transgender american struggling, please know you're not alone. parents and children alike, please ask for help and know this. you're so brave. you belong. and we have your back. >> laura: now, the left loves to pre verity language to promote its twisted agenda so they brand this parental rights bill in florida the don't say gay legislation. of course that's not in the bill. they refer to increase pain at the pump as putin's gas price. and now it's gender affirming care. today biden made it clear this is a hill his party's willing to die on encouraging transgenderism among the youngest americans fighting anyone who gets in his way. this is the issue democrats obsess over? wow, not so concerned with restoring an economy or

countering a rising china or fighting the cartels importing fentanyl. the number one priority is trans genderism in our kids, in the workplace, in our military, everywhere. >> to everyone celebrating transgender day of advice and your president sees you. transgender state laws attacking you and your family are wrong. we're committed to transgender equality in the classroom, playing field, at work, in our military and housing and healthcare systems. everywhere. simply everywhere. >> laura: simply everywhere. despite public opinion poles showing overwhelming support for florida's new law. biden and the groups allied with the democrats are obsessed with this issue. now, two sump organizations filed a federal lawsuit today against the parental rights bill claiming that the law not only stigma tieses and silences vulnerable students exacerbating

risk though their welfare but also threatened school officials who fostered a safe and inclusive environment. this is false claim. students aren't barred from saying in this legislation insulation and teachers aren't prevented from keeping anyone self. meanwhile disney continues to dig itself a mouse hole for advocating for sexual lesson plans for five to seven year olds. so a boycott disney movement is on across america and governor desantis is considering eliminating the special status disney receives from the state. >> there are certain entities that have exerted a lot of influence through corporate means to generate special privileges in the law. i don't think we should have special privileges in the law at all. they've got so far over their skis on this parental rights stuff because they're used to having their way and they're not used to gone people that will

stand in their way and say actually, the state of florida's going to be governed by the best interests of the people in florida, you know, we're certainly not going to bend a knee to woke executives in california. >> laura: now, disney is walking down a very dangerous trail here. arguably the most important thing they and other media companies own right now is their intellectual property. meaning mickey mouse, the old film catalogs, et cetera. well, trademark and copy rights are established by congress. their length, how long they can be exercised. congress can always change them. and if it does, disney could lose its exclusive rights to its iconic characters, meaning the image of mickey mouse could be declared part of the public domain, usable by anyone. now, we know that disney knows how important these trademark and copyright issues are, because the company spends millions to face guard them. so every time disney's copyright

is set to retire, expire, it unleashes an army of lobiest and spends millions to get it extended. so with walt disney long gone and nearly a hundred years since the mouse first appeared, why on earth should these works be walled off from public use? it's madness. but not as mad as what disney's former ceo said today about the florida bill. >> to me it wasn't politics, it is what is right and what is wrong and that just seemed wrong. it seemed potentially harmful to kids. when you're dealing with right and wrong or when you're dealing with something that does have a profound impact on your business, then i just think you have to do what is right, and not worry about the potential backlash to it. >> laura: well, the backlash may end up crippling the business. when americans see the actual language of the new florida law, it wins support by a more than 2-1 margin. now among independents it's 58-26 supporting and my

favorite, even among democrats it's 55% supporting the law, 29% against. so has igor left his mansion lately to speak to real people or is this really where disney wants to take it stance. for being a company known for wholesome entertainment to one seeking to redefine what children consider normal against what parents might believe, listen closely to the disney production coordinator. >> going to kids who don't know any of this and even if they're in a household that has supportive parents, they're still getting all of this information from media of what is normal. and we just -- there's a lot of power to that and it just needs to be acknowledged. >> laura: hmm. but disney is going to find out very quickly that the power is with the parents who pay the taxes that fund the schools. and the power is with the

parents who decide what streaming service to subscribe their families to. and the power is with the parents who decide where to go on vacation. and this year, it may not be to a disney theme park. as for the democrats, did they not see what happened to terry mcauliffe in virginia were schools were a flash point for many moms. so if they're aligning with a tiny radical element and not parents, then they're more out of touch with america than we thought. the winds of change that hit washington will feel more like a cat five hurricane at this rate and that's the angle. joining me now is republican congressman jim banks and manhattanle chris ruffo. congressman speaking of winds of change in washington, you are beginning to take aim, are you not, possibly, at disney copy rights? explain. >> yes, laura. this is probably a long time

coming. at the end of the day we take our kids to disney world for family vacation, not indoctrination and disney for a long time have attacked american values. i've never seen them attack a chinese law but here they are attacking a very popular law in florida that most floridaians support, most americans support. and if they're going to attack the american laws that are being put in place by dual elected governors and representatives at the state level, then they don't, they don't deserve all of this special american laws and protections that are granted to their company. so i wrote disney a letter today and i said, when your copyright laws expire, which is coming up in the next few years, and they come back to congress and spend millions and millions of dollars to lobby members of congress like myself, i'm not going to vote for it. i'm not going to vote for special laws to help disney when disney is attacking american values on a regular basis like they are with this situation in

florida specifically, and in a lot of other ways as well. >> laura: i think they take it for granted that they're going to have their copyright extended forever. you know, think of a book like a christmas carol. like that's in the public domain now. you know, dickens is gone, we don't continue that in any type of trademark or copyright. and i think congress has to start examining this across the board for a lot of companies. chris, you're looking at a whole bunch of issues involving disney, including an issue regarding child predators. and specifically about lobbying to oppose increasing protocols for sexual abuse on cruise ships. tell us about this. >> yeah, that's right i spent the day pouring through criminal arrest records and court records and while disney is now presenting itself as the moral ar bitter about children and sexuality there is a dark side to disney. in fact over the last few years,

dozens and dozens of disney employees have been arrested for child pornography, child exploitation and even child rape. but more concerning than that, which is already in a huge moral scandal, disney executives, through their trade union lobbyists association, actually pushed to reduce the moment stringent regulations and reporting requirements for sexual abuse on a cruise ship. there was even one story reported a number of years ago where disney did a coverup for a man who was an employee of that cruise ship who molested an 11 year old girl. disney refused to report it, allowed him to evade authorities and flea back to the country of india. so i'm not going to sit here for one minute and take moral lick tor from these moral middling its like the disney ceo and the disney president who have been covering for, hiring and even inabling child sex predators for decades. >> laura: well, at this point, congressman, it would seem to me

that parents, had a choice in virginia, and they chose to go with glenn youngkin because of the school issue in part and other issues, biden's wildly unpopular. you have to wonder why the democrats are deciding to go down this road now. i said this is a hill they're willing to die on apparently. the country is not with them on these issues, certainly not regarding children. >> and this bill is so, it's such common sense and so needed, not just in florida but every country -- every state in the country, laura. you look at what this bill does. by the way i have an eight year old daughter, i don't want her indoctrinated about sexual behavior at school or at disney world. so you do have to wonder, why are the democrats so hell bent on opposing legislation and laws like this that the vast majority of the american people support, but you have these woke executives at places like disney who, by the way, as i said earlier, they've never protested

anything about china. they completely turn a blind eye and support uyghur muslim genocide in china, but they want to attack governor desantis and good people of florida for passing a law that the vast majority of the people in that state elected their representatives to pass to begin with. so it's an attack on american democracy. >> laura: if they want to act like a political action committee they should be treated like a political action committee if that's what the brand iing going to become. i know they gives donations to republicans and democrats but if they're going to actively advocate day after day on this one particular issue, then they're going to have to see where the chips fall on this. but chris, here's how the rest of the media is reacting to this controversy. >> you may be talking about a problem that doesn't exist. it's just like critical race theory. >> what they want to do is keep yelling about it to get people in their homes questioning, what conversations are happening around sex that don't actually exist. >> i think the problem for the

republican party is that it goes to what democrats can use and frankly independents as well, to continue to paint the party as intolerant, as bigoted. >> laura: well, chris, it's moved from tolerance to, you must accept and advocate this for children in some school settings in this country. >> yeah. we do this very weird slippery slope with the left where they say something doesn't exist and then you blink and they say it's mandatory. but they're playing the same failed play book that they tried with critical race theory. we educated 175 million americans about critical race theory in the last 18 months. they're with us by a 2-1 margin. we're seeing the same numbers for the parental bill of rights. so really this is a combination have projection and denial. it's going to lead the left to meltdown. they don't know how to get out from behind these activists that are trying to take critical race theory and gender ideology to

its logical extension which is really chaos, devastation and confusion for kids. most american people will not stand for it. most american people are standing up against it and they're going to find out where the american people stand come november. >> laura: i beg that they run on this issue. because i say one word that we don't use a lot on television, innocence. the innocence of our little kids is at steak now. and they're innocent little children. they should be protected by all of us frankly. congressman, chris, thank you >> disney's decline is just one example of a troubling trend where entities to school to corporations entertainment, they're engaged in an indoctrination campaign with the kids. late yesterday the daily wire decided they'd begin to do something about this announcing plans to invest a minimum of a hundred million dollars over the next three years into a live action and animated children's entertainment. now joining me now is co-founder and company ceo of the daily wire jeremy boring. jeremy for so long conservative

parents have asked why are we, where are we paying for this to have our kids' minds, you know, tinkered with or toyed with or at least around the edges on some of these issues, where's just like the regular innocent kids' shows anymore. >> right. i think this goes right to the point of what we're trying do at the daily wire and that's that americans are tired of giving their money to woke corporations. they seem to hate them. they're tired of giving their money to woke media companies who subvert the truth and silent them and tired of giving their money to woke entertainment companies like disney who have not so secret gay agendas and want to push that on children. the problem is we don't have much alternative. on the media side we've had fox the last generation, almost the only voice in the media. and entertainment there's nothing. so what we're trying to do is build those.

americans have a lot of economic might we just don't have anywhere to put it. we give our money to the same corporations that oppose us because they're the only game in town. i'm tired of this nonprofit mentality that's permeated the right the last generation that says all we can do is lose, complain and beg for donations. nonsense we can build alternatives. >> laura: yeah, from universities, like hills dale, we need 50 hills dales we need private schools across the country. we have billionaires, they have to open up their wallets and stop endo you go buildings at harvard and princeton and start endo you go universities and entertainment entities. disney by the way just did release a new series for kids jeremy called rides up and sing out to discuss micro aggressions. watch. >> hey gabrielle. i didn't know that was your mom. your skin is so much darker than hers. >> hold it. did that comment make you feel uncomfortable? that's a micro aggression. >> what's a micro aggression.

>> a micro aggression is when something says something that makes you feel bad. sometimes it could be race. you should be proud of your skin. it's what makes you you. >> laura: jeremy, your reaction. >> well, what you have here is what good hearted people on the left think that they're trying to empower children but all they're doing is weakening children preparing them for life inside a bubble where nothing goes wrong instead of the real world. they're not endo you go children with character and the ability to face adversity. this is very tame compared to the things disney is actually putting into children's content which is outright radical content and gender theory. >> laura: one thing conservatives often times have gotten wrong jeremy is that kids don't want to be preached at either. >> that's right. >> laura: walt disney was a genius because he offered entertainment and too often these conservative types that start doing films it's always preachy stuff. it shouldn't be political at all. this should be great, you know,

great productions with great direction and great actors, and that's not easy to do. i mean, you know, it's not easy to create. it's very difficult. you have to have people with talent behind it. so i hope you have a lot of people behind you with talent. i'm not saying you don't but it's not like we're going to spend a hundred million dollars and create disneyland or disney productions it's hard to do. >> no. in fact disney spent $25 billion, netflix spent billions on content, abc, nbc, cbs, show time. we have a long way to go. a hundred million dollars is a lot for the daily wire to commit but not in the grand scheme of things but we don't take that as a cause to lose heart. we think someone doing something will unlock the power of america's economic might and more money will flow and of course to your point it has to be entertainment first and not political and that's why we're starting with a for-profit mentality. there's great non-profits on the right but the nonprofit mentality on the right has held

us back for a generation. when you go ask people for donations, they want you to be very overt with your values and want you to lead with your values. we're asking people to purchase a product they want to see which means it has to be entertainment first. >> laura: it has to be good. jeremy we're so happy you're out there thank you so much >> as is so often the case these become policy objectives to the less. case in point joe biden's announcement he and the white house are putting their full weight of the white house behind transgender operations and puberty blockers for children. up next a warning for someone who experienced transition and regrets it. stay there. i may be close to retirement, but i'm as busy as ever. and thanks to voya, i'm confident about my future. voya provides guidance for the right investments. they make me feel like i've got it all under control.

♪ >> today we're marking transgender, the transgender day of visibility by celebrating transgender americans thriving and making their communities stronger. unfortunately transgender americans particularly children continue to face unacceptably high levels of bullying and discrimination. the administration has repeatedly and forcefully called out state legislatures that discriminates against trans children and their families. >> laura: think about it this way, on the last day of women's month, president biden's administration released a series of documents encouraging gender reassignment therapy and hormone treatments for minors.

hhs documents describe what it calls appropriate treatments for adolescents including hot surgery to create male typical chest shape or enhanced breasts and bottom surgery for genitals. an additional document promotes the use of puberty blockers for kids. has anyone stopped to actually consider if this is wise? especially before puberty kicks in when kids are making all sorts of decisions? how could this fundlely change a child alleys sexual and personal identity. joining us now is carol lieberman a board certified psychiatrist. carol, what does the denying children their natural ongoing formation potentially produce? >> this is child abuse, pure and simple. it is confusing to children. it is jumping the gun. you know, now if a child -- you know, it seems kind of quaint now to talk about tom boys, but,

for example, you know, if children show an interest in toys or activities of the opposite sex, parents, some parents, you know, who want to seem cool or who perhaps wanted to have a child of the opposite sex than what they got, join in on this and are ready to run to the doctors and get them all these hormones and surgeries and so on. and, you know, biden in his speech today, the way he talked about transgender children, i mean, if you're a child and you saw that and he was talking about how brave they are and how i have your back and all of that, it really is encouraging kids, you know, to become transgender. not to mention all the encouragement they get from teachers and school boards and everything else. >> laura: well, speaking of child a because, abc news interviewed a mother with a transgender child. watch. >> when chasy, our daughter, when she really started to communicate to us, and that was at the earliest moment that she actually had words and language,

to communicate to us who she truly was, we were a little surprised. >> carol, the child's first words were about gender assignment? what is she talking about? >> it's what she wants to see, what she wants to hear, what she wants to believe. this is -- you know, girls are born, still to this day, with x x chromosomes and va jean as, and boys are stillborn and still will be with xy and penises. no matter how much biden and others want to make that not so. if i jump to the conclusion, and i've had patients like this where, you know, for example a tom boy and right away the parents wanted to think, oh, she really wants to be a boy, maybe we should take her to a doctor. well, sure enough, you know, she grew out of that phase, as do many children. just because they have certain

preferences or, you know, they like the color blue or pink doesn't mean that they want to transition into another gender. and it really, what this does, especially, you know, starting, for example, with elementary school when they're teaching kids how to mast bait. you do not have -- i mean, for the human race, lord knows how to master bait for as long as it has existed you don't have to teach this. and the increasing the sexuality there has been an increase in the number of sexual assaults in schools because we're stimulating kids to think about sex. >> laura: yeah. well, i'm going to say what i said last segment. innocent. we are here to protect our children's innocence at that age. and they are, instead, doing the opposite. and while claiming to be protecting the children. that's what's most disturbing about this, of many disturbing things. dr. lieberman thank you for your

expertise >> our next guest has a warning for those who are pushing this on adolescents and young children. he would know because he spent eight years as a woman starting when he was 17. joining us now is walt hire, the founder of sex change regret.com and the author of the book trans life survivors. walt, your message to the biden administration tonight. >> yeah. this is institutionalized child abuse. they're working on destroying an entire generation of children. none of these children need hormone blockers. they don't need to transition. one of the things that nobody ever seems to talk about is this one word called consequences. i'm sitting here because i started cross dressing at the age of 4, and i can tell you that that caused me emotional, psychological and eventually it became a sexual child abuse. and so when parents are having

children do this or entertaining the idea of doing it, they are actually engaging in child abuse. now we have the government is actually promoting institutionalized child abuse. it's destroying children. it's destroying families and it's actually destroying much of society today. this is really insane. and here's the thing. no one yet, in history, has ever -- no doctor, no surgeon, no hormones, has ever been able to affect a change of gender by logically in anyone. it's not possible. nobody can change their gender. they can change their persona, but they can't change their gender. >> laura: well, yeah, they can't change their sex, yeah. >> right. >> laura: walt, what they often do is they'll cite, you know, a study of studies, and this was published recently, that says, well, there are very few people who really have regrets. but then at the end of that, you know, that met a study they'll say, well, but this is quite subjective. so not sure how beneficial that

conclusion is that there are very few people with regrets but what do you say to that? >> well, my web site sex change regret i have over 10,000 e-mails in my inbox the last ten years. my web site has well over two million, three million views. i'm working with people every day who write me and say, anywhere from three weeks all the way up to 40 years after going through these procedures, they say, i just found -- i just realized that they didn't change my gender. alls they did was ruin my life. can you help me detransition. and earlier in this month they had a detransition day, a worldwide detransition day because now detransitioning is becoming almost equally as popular as transitioning. and the biden administration should take a cue from this and stop pushing this stuff on children. this is absolute insanity and it really needs to stop. >> laura: walt, thank you for your perspective tonight >> and just so how bad is biden exacerbating the energy crisis in this country, and what is

coming down the pike that will make immigration even worse. senator tom cotton is here next. ♪♪ three children. ruthann and i like to hike. we eat healthy. we exercise. i noticed i wasn't as sharp as i used to be. my wife introduced me to prevagen and so i said "yeah, i'll try it out." i noticed that i felt sharper, i felt like i was able to respond to things quicker. and i thought, yeah, it works for me. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

♪ >> laura: prices already came down when it was announced ahead of time that biden was going to release so much, so much energy, so many barrels of oil. they've already come down. my guess is we'll see it come down, continue to come down. >> laura: this is economically incoherent it hurts america going forward biden's plan to release on average a million barrels of oil every day from the strategic petroleum reserve over the next six months? what's happening in six months? a reserve meant for natural disasters and emergencies is now being depleted because biden and the democrats are too committeded to the green fantasy to unleash what we already have, an enormous supply of cheap energy in the united states. and speaking of mortgaging the

future. >> here is grand man's master plan to help with soaring energy prices. >> how do we help people directly? if you're going to have to pay for it, and you don't want it to come out of the trust fund, once something could be a rebate card or a direct payment, and those are the things that are being considered. >> laura: those are the things that are being considered. senator tom cotton joins me now. senator, perhaps it's because of their chanced age or something, but biden and pelosi do not seem to care very much about america's future. >> no, laura, they don't. you know, nancy pelosi is talking about gimmicks. i wouldn't call what joe biden is calling a gimmick it's more dangerous it's dangerous. the strategic petroleum reserve is for emergencies. the only emergency i see is his polling numbers and the fact we

have a midterm coming up in about seven months. but if we release this oil from the strategic petroleum reserver day for the next six months we're treating the symptoms not the cause. it's the cause is the war that joe biden is waging on oil and gas production in america. in 2019 at the peak of production in the last administration we were producing more than a million barrels every single day than we're producing today. that alone is what he's releasing from the strategic petroleum reserve. if we would simply allow the oil and gas workers in america to the resources god put underneath our soil. what if say er ran strikes refineries or production facilities in places like saudi arabia or united 'em rates: what if a hurricane hits louisiana with a hurricane this year. that's why we have the reserves not to fight biden's poll

numbers and help the democrats limp into a midterm election. it's not just a gimmick it's dangerous. >> laura: one democrat doesn't seem interested, senator, in lowering gas prices. >> the one consumer gas product that each consumer knows is the price of gasoline and it becomes a met for for the economy which is why it's imperative that we announce a green new deal agenda. that's message which i'm working with and that's the message which joe biden is making very clear, has to be the agenda for our country. >> laura: senator, is this proof democrats just want americans to suffer in order to push through this green agenda? i mean, amazing. >> yeah, i know. god bless ed markey he tells the truth and it is the truth. joe biden said this in the campaign. $5 a gallon gas is not an accident, it's a unintended consequence, it is the intended consequence of their energy policies. they want to make us all poorer. they want to make you live in

downtown areas in high rise buildings, walk to work or take the subway or ride an electric scooter or whatever it is that pete buttigieg takes to work this week. they want you out of your pickup truck, out of your suv, out of your home in the suburbs where you can have a backyard with your kid. this is the exactly intended consequences of their energy policies. they don't like it now know though that it will cost them control of the united states congress. >> laura: i want to move to the crush at the southern border senator which is only going to get worse once title 42 is repealed that allowed for the immediate expulsion of people who crossed the border. here was the white house today. >> you said many many times, obviously this is a decision that the cdc will make. that said, of course, we are preparing for contingencies. and so what i would say is, you know, our goal is going to be to process migrants in a safe and orderly manner. >> laura: a safe and orderly manner to a work site near you.

right? >> yeah. you know, laura how about our goal be we protect our border and not will you two million illegal aliens to come in this year. this is not a decision for the cdc. it is a decision for the president. he could direct them to keep that emergency order in place just as they kept the emergency order in place for toddlers wearing masks on airplanes. >> laura: or everyone wearing masks on planes. >> yeah. there's an emergency on airplanes in america but not an emergency at our southern border? this is another example of how democrats love to use covid when it suits their goals. whether it allows them to admit more illegal aliens into the country or running around congress right now saying they need $16 billion more in emergency covid funding. but when it's inconvenient to them like, i don't know, joe bidenen's approval numbers or gavin newsome having to go to a fancy french restaurant they want to wish it away. >> laura: senator quickly it looks like there could be more than four to five million people crossing our southern border this year the way things are

going, 18,000 a day now, but that's only going to ramp up. that's just in the eagle pass district. phil ma lieu general was reporting. i want to get the number right but more than we've ever seen in the history of the country. that's staggering. >> it's unprecedented, it's terrible for america's workers. it's terrible for our families and communities because so many drugs will be coming across our border as well. if joe biden wants a dime of additional spending, then we should get a vote next week in the united states congress on keeping this emergency order in place so we can at least keep some, some ofment of control in the border, no matter how tiny it is under this president. >> laura: i hope mitch mcconnell is listening. senator great to see you >> and largely because of the topics we just discussed, democrats don't only find themselves at a disadvantage ahead of the november midterms but are now suffering from an historic enthusiasm gap. congressman byram donald and steven miller have details in a

moment. what are you recommending for muscle pain? based on clinical data, i recommend salonpas. agreed... my patients like these patches because they work for up to 12 hours, even on moderate pain. salonpas. it's good medicine

>> community, especially as it relates to the ukraine matter but he also needs to fire up his base. one of the things we see in the polling is this real enthusiasm gap between republicans and democrats. so after voting rights and build back better failed no advance in

congress, what does biden offer without stepping on his own call for unity, what does he offer democrats to get excited about? >> laura: well, it turns out very little. first let's take a little trip down memory lane. in 2010 republicans enjoyed their biggest midterm gain ever picking up more than 60 seats in the house. remember that? just two weeks before that election, republicans enjoyed what was then an historic enthusiasm gap of 14 points. how does that compare to this year? according to the most recent nbc news poll it swelled to 17 points. so what could that mean? joining me now steven miller former senior advisor to president trump founder of america first legal and florida republican donald. congressman i always tell republicans don't count your chickens you want people to get out and vote, but this just isn't manifesting itself as a mild election win in november. this enthusiasm gap is shocking.

>> the enthusiasm gap is the way it is because joe biden has been an abject failure across the board. economy? he's failed. oil and natural gas? he's failed. afghanistan he's failed. ukraine, he's failed. the border has been an abject disaster. no matter where you look, this administration is wrong every single time. republicans have the prescription to get the country back on track, the american people know this. that's why the enthusiasm gap is where it is. >> laura: steven, on this issue of the border, we just talked about it, we don't have to retill that ground but i think the democrats, like all these culture issues like promoting transgender on little kids at school, all these cultural issues that they've gotten so tied up with the left on, they literally learned nothing from the virginia race, nothing. which, i've got to say is a little bit shocking but maybe not. >> well, for them it's a

religion. the death now for a political party is when your priorities are not the priorities of the voter, in either party. and this is where the democrats are right now. based on biden's policies we have sky rocketing crime, illegal immigration, inflation, energy prices, debt and debacles all around the world. but what did joe biden do today? what did his administration do today? they pushed sex change operations and hormones for boys and girls. they pushed, pushing this radical gender ideology saying boys can be made into girls and girls into boys with surgery and drugs instead of solving any one of the problems that i just mentioned. that's the reason why they're facing such peril in november. if republicans will stay on these issues. >> laura: yeah. and never shy away from them. now congressman i found this shocking. a new national marquette poll shows biden's approval among

black voters has decreased 32 percentage points since last july. 32 percentage points. okay. what's driving this primarily? is it the economy? these cultural issues? a combination congressman? >> listen, it's all of the above. specific to the cultural issues. i talk to friend of mine from high school and college. they're beside themself. they do not understand why the radical democrat base is controlling their agenda. they want women competing against women and men competing against men. they don't want children, frankly, being indoctrinated with gender ideology and sexual orientation. they want them just to learn the facts about math, reading and history. that's what black voters want. so it's not a shock why his polling numbers have decreased amongst the black community. put all that on top of that, you have the economy and oil and gas, and everything else, including inflation, which is crippling all voters, especially black voters. so this is why he's having so

many problems. not just in the black community, but across the entire fabric of america. >> laura: steven, i've said this before and i'm going to say it regularly before the midterms. the republican party has got to run a 50-state campaign going from now until 2024. don't give up on california, do not give up on new england. you know, new hampshire, maggie hassan is a disaster. mark kelly in arizona, total disaster. john in montana is going to probably vote to confirm justice jackson, you know, who's going to vote to get rid of gun rights in montana, that's great. these people across the board radicalized. there's an opportunity the take these states back and we have to start now registering people to vote. >> we can win in almost any senate race in this country and we can win deep into blue districts in these house races. again if you run on healthy education for children, not cross secretary hormone therapy, safe borders not a flood of

illegal aliens the world has never seen, if you run on low crime not soft on crime. if you run on low inflation not spiralling inflation, all of these issues, we can win anywhere and everywhere because that's how far outside of the main stream the democratic party has become. >> laura: yeah, how many conservatives are left in the democratic party? the way they're voting. >> the way they're voting zero. >> laura: come on, zero. they've driven every conservative out of the democrat party. we're the big tent party. they're the small tent party and it's getting smaller. congressman and steven great to see both of you. and democrats refuse, of course, to define gender so a republican had some fun at their expense today. the last fight point.
