we hope you never miss an episode. for the latest news and information and opinion, foxnews.com. and the meantime let not your heart be troubled. the news continue. laura ingraham is next. have a great night. see you tomorrow. ♪ ♪ >> laura: i am laura ingraham this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. thanks for joining us. global bags unite. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." >> the national average for a gallon of gas has gone up 10 days in a row and we set a new record. most analysts expect prices to keep climbing. one analyst said a national average of $6 a gallon is possible. >> laura: to make a bad situation worse, we may be facing a shortage of truckers

soon. the owners are facing a crisis due to the sky rocketing cost of diesel fuel. and food prices? bloomberg headlines caught my eye. chicken wings for $34. consumer prices of food were up 9.4% in april compared to last april. it's the biggest gain since 1981. it's time to ask this question: both a global and national level, is the economic chaos unfolding before our eyes the result of incompetence or careful planning? ted cruz believes this is all purposeful. >> joe biden believes in gas is $6 or $10 a gallon, if he imposes enough pain that eventually everyone will have

this epiphany and get rid of that truck or mini-van and everyone will buy an electric car. >> laura: the "angle" did not disagree. biden is ignorant and his cabinet is unqualified. but this can't be an accident. none of this was predestined. the biden team chose to cancel oil leases, to stop keystone and gren lit a proxy war against russia. sent billion dollars to ukraine. and paid people not to work over after vaccines were available and bailed out the blue states that refused to open. they allowed millions of

migrants. to this day they refuse to stop scaring americans about covid. for good measure they are threatening free speech. hate speech is anything they disagree with. these policies are all designed to make you poorer and make you more dependent on the government. force you to stop driving. stop attending school board meetings and stop posting your views online. it's geared to limit your expectations. america has no right to be freer than africa or europe. candidate barack obama was explicit about the american reset in 2008. >> we can't drive our suvs and

eat as much as we want and keep our homes at 72 degrees at all times and expect that every other country will say okay. >> laura: i know what you are thinking. bleep other countries! that's my reaction from 14 years. they are quick to down play the idea of american greatness. >> i suspect that brits believe in brit exceptionalism. >> laura: we are no more exceptional than any other country. his energy secretary slipped on the issue of gasoline prices to the "wall street journal." we have to boost prices to those of europe.

they always liked europe better than the united states. we embarrass them especially at fancy global conferences. americans really embarrass them. the rich and powerful from big government, big tech and big pharma are descending on a mountain town in switzerland. their motto is committed to improving the state of the world. arriving on private jet they plan their big ideas to tackle big problems. >> we are willing to continue our issues in relation to climate change. >> to address the deep rooted inequalities in the labor market. >> [inaudible]. >> we establish tests in our ability to shape our common future in constructive ways.

>> laura: that last man is the man in charge at davos and pushed the global reset of capitalism when the biden folks are on board with, but they call it something different. >> a new normal. wearing a mask. works in shifts. >> we have to design a new normal. >> i hope the new normal will also include a real strong corporate memory of what a pandemic can do. so we don't just go on when we get this under control. >> laura: that was dr. fauci earlier this year. this year's theme is history at a turning point. with the goal of rebuilding trusts through agreements

crucial to a global recovery. folks like john kerry and al gore will sit on panels talking about all of the ways they should give way to globalism. the attendees are well-heeled. many are billionaires. they may feel less icky about how they got there they made their money by going there. this comedian had an interesting take on this. >> don't invite the people who are [bleep] responsible for ruining it in the first place. >> laura: he is right about one thing. history is at a turning point. globalization is slowing its outcome.

china is getting richer. we are getting poorer, the supply chain is broken. from lockdowns to vaccine mandates, the people responsible for that they should put in jail. there are people we were supposed to trust but they were just political hacks all along. top government officials are not on team usa. like janet yellen who was a fed chair. she denied that inflation withdraw coming and wants to use her failure as an excuse to lift tariffs on china. we are at a turning point. we will either remain a free and independent america or we will spend the next few decades being pushed around and locked down and ordered around by people you would not trust to it mow your lawn.

they offer nothing but misery and scarcity. jimmy carter took that same platform in 1980 and lost. now all of those years later in 2022, the democrats and the globalists are trying to convince that more government control and less freedom is a good thing for us and the plant. good luck with that. that's the "angle." joining me is victor davis hanson. global reset. history at a turning point. a new normal. all code for creating one global society. what happens to nation hood then? >> well, a global society is only as strong as its weakest link. tony blinken asked the u.n. to

decide if we are racists. the u.n. was supposed to be end of all of our woes. it never worked because nobody was accountable. henry kissinger said who do you call with a world problem? china or russia? it will never work. joe biden, everybody knew by august of last year this was not working. you could argue they were incompetent on inflation and the border. some biden went below 50%. they could have said let's just finish the wall and get the keystone up and going. all of those were solutions that would about have been popular and arrested these self-created disasters. they are self-induced and deliberate.

they think inflation redistributes the money. doesn't. they will get fuel at such a high price they will have to use electric cars. their attitude about crime is there are rules are wealthy people don't commit crimes. they would rather be correct. >> laura: they don't care how low they go. they are fanatics. they are absolutely 100% fanatical about creating whatever you want to call. the new normal. global reset.

they think america's days are gone. it's time to move on to this new world economic council approach to pandemics. we will get to that with chris smith. there is no end until the american voters say enough. it has to be a wipe out like 1984 in 2024. they have to get wiped out. >> it has to be. when you see people like larry summers or musk or jeff bezos. i think november will be a wipe out. and do what mcgovernor to 1972 or worse. it could not come too soon. these are not wars or plagues. all of these problems were self-created.

they like the chaos. they feel chaos gives people opportunities for new direction as all revolutionaries do. >> laura: this is what eric holder said on msnbc tonight. >> our democracy is under attack. our democracy is at peril. unless we have the kind of courage that it paul and dorr, exhibited he could lose our democracy. >> they are going to it lose in the mid-terms so democracy is dangerous. we will hear more about january 6th. anything other than their record. he would be more honest if he

said i created chaos. he won't do that. it will be everything but the kitchen sink will be thrown in. they will get nasty and mean in the next few months. we will see things that are unimaginable. to use their phrases the walls are closing in. >> laura: victor, thank you very much. the elitist want to make more control of our lives. the biden administration is planing to surrender our power to the world health organization to decide if there is a public health emergency. by deleting a few key words

member states would be obligated to accept the recommendations of the w.h.o. they were wrong about covid-19 from day one. they did a joint study with china am ruling out the lab leak theory. this could be one of the most dangerous actions because it affects your freedom and your health. joining me is the new jersey congressman chris smith. i thought this is a wonky thing. w.h.o., what did this mean? sovereignty? this is important. >> absolutely and thanks for having me on. this is a situation -- there are regulations with w.h.o. that go back to 2005. they gave the united states the ability to not a unilateral power.

under this biden regulation, beginning on may 22nd, the w.h.o. will get rid of that. the states and countries have to agree. with enforcement, if the u.s. says we don't think we have this health emergency. we have 48 hours to give an acting to the world health organization. and the doctor i have known for years. covered up a lot of things in ethiopia. he got his job from xi jingping: when covid hit he put out false information. we still don't have the w.h.o. coming clean it's origins. an amendment that failed would have provided the ability of individuals cut by covid to sue. it would be like saudi arabia

and it would get our people into court. >> laura: we have a lot of people in both houses who are pro-china. republicans and democrats. the head of w.h.o. attacking people who dare question his motives. >> that's a small minority of people distorting facts. >> laura: sharing of data if they can't get china to give us the original data on the virus? >> exactly. they want a treaty. the other way around it the end run to get the big power grab is to change the w.h.o. health regulations. in days without any scrutiny, the administration will be arguing -- this is all of the changes they want to make the world health organization -- and our sovereignty will be

undermined. >> laura: who is negotiating for the united states? >> it's a group of people. >> laura: this is in line with my overriding point tonight: they are doing a run on nation hood. obama said you can't put your thermostat at 72. they don't like the fact you can get in your car and drive to california. get a couple more tanks of gas. they don't want that. >> there is an under-mining of liberty and freedom on the

democrat side especially the biden administration. the ministry of disinformation. in the soviet union in the 1980s, they were controlling. >> laura: they have it in china now. maybe that's why people in the united states in power have a soft spot for china. stay on this issue. we appreciate you being on it. you alerted me about this. if you can't watch us live, i am mad at you. you can do a record on your dvr. every weeknight at 10 p.m. up next you won't believe this. house dems just passed a bill on the road to criminalizing the political opposition to their views under preventing domestic terrorists.

♪ ♪ >> laura: today house democrats voted to criminalize their political opposition under the guise of preventing domestic terrorists.

it will set up offices to visiting domestic terrorists at the dps and the doj. what is the goal? more surveillance and tracking americans. this is all political. our next guest issued a warning on twitter today: they voted to give the fbi and doj more power to fight domestic terrorism. the squad comes through again for the u.s. security state. glen greenwald, welcome. one of the bill's supporters snyder claims that the legislation was adjusted to say none of its amendments undermine first amendment rights. what is the problem?

>> pretty much every bill that has been enacted since the 9-11 act contains similar promises. many ran roughshod over the civil rights of american citizens. most people agree. this is more dangerous because unlike the first war on terror which was directed out ward. this is increasingly a war on terror on domestic soil, on american citizens. i have been on your show many times going back to before biden's inauguration warning this the democrat's plan.

before january 6th biden said a new war on terror is my number 1 priority. they are exploiting january 6th and now exploiting the buffalo shootings to give agencies more power to control our free speech. >> laura: there are no standards here. these assurances that free expression, they won't be touched here. there are no checks and balances. whatever they consider to be hate speech, maybe you post something against lockdowns. that's hate speech. maybe you criticize a new spending bill. that's hate speech. there is no end in sight as to what constitutes hate speech and could lead to domestic terror down the road. >> this is a problem with the controversy that just erupted where the department of homeland security announced they were

creating a board to combat disinformation. in theory nobody is against disinformation. there they promised and said this board is going to protect your civil rights so you don't need to worried. the democrats think every view that subverts their agenda is disinformation. prior to the election they called the hunter biden laptop russian disinformation and got it censored from the internet. when you put these elastic phrases as the centerpiece for the government's power. that's when civil rights violations occur. they are trying to control domestic criminal activity. >> laura: on the issue of

ukraine. you have been monitoring the bills. mitch mcconnell was on fox discussing this. >> what it will cost remains to be seen. the important thing to remember what would have been the cost of not acting. it would have been way more. way more than 40 billion dollars. >> laura: i am not sure about that. 40 billion dollars and kamala harris is not ruling out we are spending more. it could be hundreds of billion dollars. >> it is going there. that 40 billion dollars figure that mitch mcconnell cite side false. they voted to it add 40 billion dollars more. just 10 weeks into a war they say will last not months but years. we got done spending 2 trillion dollars for a 20 year war in afghanistan that achieved

nothing but the death of our soldiers only for the taliban to waltz back in. what you are talking about is not spending billion dollars to help the ukraine people. this money is going to lockheed martin and the cia to do what? nobody knows. rand paul wanted to slow down the bill for oversight. you have huge amounts of money flying out the door. nobody can articulate a strategy for when we are doing and benefits for the american people. >> laura: lost 80 billion dollars worth of equipment in afghanistan. tonight mitch mcconnell went after rand paul. they will never debate.

i want to see rand paul and mcconnell debate. they are both really smart. debate the numbers and the issues to town halls across kentucky and see which person comes out on top. who do you think would come out on top with the public? >> rand paul has the much better argument. no matter what you think about ukraine and we all feel sympathy for the ukrainians. this is the most dangerous war the united states has fought if decades. our opponent is not iraq or afghanistan but a country with the largest nuclear stockpile on the planet. we are risking nuclear annihilation for what? that's the question they can't answer. >> laura: thank you. here's the clue for tonight's which woke hero just got cancelled. tweet me your guesses.

up next, an update on the pennsylvania republican senate primary. why are covid cases rising fastest in states with the highest vaccination rates? a doctor will tell us about it. ♪ ♪

>> laura: counting the votes in the republican pennsylvania primary entered his third day. right now dr. oz leads mccormick by 1241 votes. how much is left to be counted. pennsylvania acting secretary of state said there are 50,000 ballots left. here is the dean of pennsylvania politics. that's a lot of votes. 50,000.

dr. oz is still leading by 1241 votes. what do we think the break down is in that big mix. republicans versus democrats? >> earlier 17,000 votes were republican votes out of the 50,000. there was a late breaking story that said it was down to 8700. this game after any ability to get ahold of the secretary of state. it said approximately based on what they estimated. i would feel more comfortable when i talk to them tomorrow to see if that number is accurate or still at the 1700 mark -- i'm sorry 17,000. i need to have a better

understanding. >> laura: what do we know about provisional ballots cast on election day. they could cast a provisional ballots. >> the only number i have has come from alegheny county where pittsburgh is. it's been a good county today for dave mccormick. 1900 there. however, of that 1900, you don't know how many are democrat or republican or going to be rejected. that's a very fluid situation.

currently. that's where we are right now. there are still mail-in ballots coming in. they have not been counted. there were memory sticks that didn't get -- >> laura: memory sticks? the fact we can't get the votes counted on election night speaks volumes. you get the recount here given the tight margin. florida with figure it out. why can't pennsylvania get the votes counted on election night? this is crazy. thank you. >> we are seeing a steady rise e are currently seeing steady rises of cases in the country. it's because we all know there's a relaxation of knot masks and doors. >> cleo encourage those to use a

window with accessing treatment early and getting vaccinated or posted. >> laura: here we go again team biden to mask up and a bunch of posters because covid cases are rising. now, i told you many times, cases are not what matters here. but overwriting only hospitalizations, and deaths, icus related to covid but not a covid test for some other concern and also a phenomenon they don't seem to notice, three of the highest vaccinated states rhode island and my home state are in on the top four for high infection rates. that is notin all seven of the p ten vaccinated states are in the top ten for hospitalizations pier 20 may now dr. peter mccullough, author of courage to face covid-19. and how can the most vaccinated states be the ones with the most

infections, not following. >> sars-cov-2, the omicron variant is finding pockets of us acceptable individuals and these are largely 1-2-3 vaccinations and actually have the virus. they are so acceptable in the faxing is not protecting them against the current omicron strains. so what happens to be the most vaccinated states. >> laura: so the viruses escaping the vaccine because it is obvious evolving. so what is called vaccine escape, i believe? >> it is antigenic escape at the respiratory illnesses providing protection and a lot of the unvaccinated have already hadnd covid so they are safe but protected against severe disease. but ie do have patients and thee are some severe symptoms but

largely people have taken the vaccines but not yet had respiratory illness. >> laura: so they have fewer what is it antibodies over time according to the newew study tht came out at the end of april, very significant study and we will be talking about it later. if you were an aunt to antibody response in the vaccinated? is that correct? >> it is true that a vaccine may hold back full protective state ofat immunity after the natural infection arrives in the individual. this is worrisome because it may set them up for another infection down the line. >> laura: dylan byers is reporting ncr is keeping a really strict mass policy in place treating a snitch line, dr. mccullough to rat out colleagues not abiding by it because they do not comply and they will be fired. reaction to that. >> you know, we need to abandon any type of directional

authority placed on masks. masks only have love for health care providers or patients dealing with sick patients in close range and masking doesn't have a role and discrimination has no role inou our society. >> laura: dr. mccullough think it's so mucho to see you. be 18 will be an agent for the first time as president and we are already being threatened byb north korea and china. wait to hear what they have planned for biden. i can promise you one thing it would not have happened to trump. gordon chang has all the details next.

♪ ♪ >> the message we are trying to send on this trip is a message affirmative addition of what the roles can look like if democracy and open societies and the world stands together to shape the rules of the road to define the security architecture of the region, to reinforce strong, powerful, historical alliances. we think that message will be heard everywhere. b we think it will be heard in beijing. >> laura: tomorrow is the big day joe biden's first trip as president to asia, but don't make any mistakes. nobody believes the spin they are trying to put on it. north korea and china are x him

up. welcome with a nuclear test that is typical and china is warning serious jeopardy. meanwhile the next global financial by the ukraine war is in sri lanka where china is there for the big road initiative. joining me now is gordon chang, gate institute and the author of the "china temp or." you said that china is preparing, not for biden's visit to asia but preparing for war. do do mike whitete do you mean y that? >> first forcing senior officials to invest in for an asset so they can't be sanctioned by the united states. >> laura: that was in the both street journal today so take the money out of u.s. companies. >> real estate and all the rest of it. and also the central bank is trying to sanction proof the reserves and the rest of the country. they probably won't be

successful about that but the point is not whether they will be successful but what it says about their mentality which means they know they will do something for which they will be sanctioned. they will invade taiwan and we don't know what it will be but the plan is these guys are going for war. >> laura: and they already put out another statement after the phone call with jake sullivan, national security advisor about taiwan. basically that our concern about taiwan independence is driving the relationship into the toilet. so they keep going back. it is like a dog with a bone. >> this is like putin saying you are forcing me to invade ukraine. the biden administration needs to understand we are no longer in this benign period. china is making these preparations, which means we need to. we need to be sending weapons to taiwan and telling china stern messages. it is fine for jake sullivan to say there should beit a wonderfl

world if we all get together. we are well beyond that point. >> laura: we are the world come by hugio it out kind of thing. he sees the biden team walk into that room for the first time. >> what he sees as the debacle inac afghanistan and the debacle in ukraine and the failure of deterrence. he is thinking, look, the united states is a strong country but not led by someone who wants to defend itself. so, therefore, what they are looking at in china is they can do what they want. >> laura: and the shanghai lockdown, gordon, which has gotten covered more than -- i'm actually surprised to much it has gotten covered in the u.s. media. look, that is not as bad as any number of christians that some mega-church during covid, they were the big threat to the united states. that lockdown in shanghai, 25 million people still going on. it comes slowly, receding and it

is still happening.nd >> they talk about a pathway to ending the restrictions but they have been talking three weeks of venting restrictions.io i think they are serious this time but the point is impinging it is getting tighter and tighter.st there are cities across the eastern part of china that are lockdown. so, you are talking about essentially china's factory floor. animportant cities that we normally don't talk about, those are now under strict control as well. >> laura: shanghai a huge manufacturing hub again leading us to this conclusion, which you when i come i don't know how many years we've been talking about this, 20 years? the time for the united states to begin bringing back a central manufacturing to the united states, b pull it out of china, otherwise, we will suffer again just like the pandemic and ppe. >> this is crazy we are enriching a country which kills americans. we are investing in this and proposing the biden

administration to put federal pension money into chinese equities? that is nuts. that is helping an enemy and i just don't know what's going on. >> laura: they are getting richer and we are getting poorer. this has to be purposeful. gordon, we will watch this trip here thank you so much. which woke he wrote just got canceled, tweak me your guesses @ingrahamangle and we will see if you get it right next.
