the big story which is the big failure in terms of security that you are begging to get to t take and when they had the opportunity of the arco thank you, that's all the time we have left. thank you for making the show possible and let not your heart be trouble to come out laura is next and "the ingraham angle" the arco have a great night. ♪ ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is "hannity" from new york city. thank you for joining us. democrats and liberals have been flopping in prime time television for years. it's always the same, misleading information, vicious innuendo, attempts to connect the dots that never quite pay off. the drumbeat constant drumbeat of demonization. it's neither entertaining or edifying. it's bad programming. tonight began with chair benny thompson captivating a small

audience at the january 6th hearing on capitol hill, which ended up being a 12 minute sue'w spouse heavy on rhetoric the arco >> the president of the united states trying to stop the transfer of power. a president that has stood for 220 years even as our democracy face its most difficult test. >> laura: i get it, now benny thompson cares about the transfer of power and making sure it works okay? remember, he's the same benny thompson that voted against certifying george w. bush's election. by the way, i'm not talking about the 2,000 recount, we are talking about 2004, okay? the blowhard of the evening award goes to liz cheney. if you thought her interviews were rough to watch, when it was

off-the-cuff stuff, try watching her for 34 uninterrupted minutes of screen reading. >> to defend the united states constitution, and that oath must mean something. tonight, i say this to my republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. there will come a day when donald trump is gone. your dishonor will remain. >> laura: in the end, this was nearly two hours of an unsuccessful, laborious attempt to connect the danse back to trump, a coup that never happened. worried that americans wouldn't tune and into the january 6th a extravaganza. >> you got a largely distracted audience, will the american

public be tuned in? >> crazy they have to find a way to make the horrific attack on our democracy interesting and important to many americans, but that's what we are. >> people aren't tuning in. it is not going to change their minds and influence people? >> laura: democrats always flop in prime time, okay? it's a given! remember, this is not americans not caring about democracy. it's that americans do not believe that democracy was truly really at risk on generate six. there was no possibility that anything that happened that we talked about that riot on capitol hill undermined the results of the election and there wasn't a single serious person in d.c. that believe that biden wasn't going to be sworn in as president on january 20th after the insurrection that was. everybody knows what a coup is. guns, standoffs, to be hostages

taken, hostile forces grabbing the reins of power. goes on for a little bit more than two hours, doesn't it? none of that happened here, violence, criminality, you bet. but a coup? and insurrection? that's about as believable as biden's new line that the economy is the strongest ever since world war ii. the buffalo guy with the horns and all his friends, they break into the capitol, we are supposed to believe that trump would be sworn in as president? with watergate, nixon ordered a break in and then nixon use the information to try to get elected. you can make sense of the narrative. but this narrative, the one that liz cheney is so locked onto reading the screen was that these people's ragtag group of people were threatening the entire foundation of our representative democracy? that's ludicrous. the fact is, they are people commit violence and riots all the time.

here democrats needed to differentiate their own protests from one happened on january 6th so they needed to say doing this meant democracy was on the line. how does a guy putting his feet up on nancy pelosi's desk put democracy at risk? the final electoral votes were certified that night as they should have been. meanwhile, they actually wanted to kill a supreme court justice. they are trying to intimidate justices right now. today, protesters at their home trying to frighten their children even which is illegal. instead of using a late night appearance to condemn all of the acts, the president only fan the flames over row. >> it's claire, if, in fact, the decision comes out the way it does in the states imposing limitations that they are talking about, it's going to cause a mini revolution.

>> laura: isn't this the guy worried about ending democracy at the risk of democracy. what's the message to the court? watch outcome of the revolutions coming if you vote the wrong way. he's the president. but he didn't stop there. >> i understand their arguments, but it's also like your playing monopoly with somebody who won't pass go and won't follow any of the rules. how do you ever make any progress if they're not following the rules? >> laura: that's funny. again, a man who professes to be so concerned about the pillars of democracy crumbling before our eyes, he has no hesitation whatsoever, even laughing about it. stoking both a mini revolution and putting his political opponents in jail, threatening that. last time i checked, those were kind of the accident and the wishes of the statesman of a dictator.

even a insurrectionist. joining me now is texas congressman troy nail and florida congressman byron donalds. both sworn into office just days before january 6th. congressman, you were famously photographed talking down a rider at the window of the house chamber. there you are in blue. you were face-to-face with them and you are originally appointed to the january 6th committee. you watch tonight and what are your thoughts? >> well, liz almost put me to sleep. but we knew this was going to take place. i watched the first 30, 40 minutes and i can't tell you how many times she used trump's name. she's not talking and the committee has no intent to talk about why the capitol police was so ill-prepared to with that day. and they wear, the sad part is that the intelligence was there. i've been saying for the past

17, 18 months when you look at the leadership team with league capitol police, it was glaring them in the face. we all knew that the capitol was the target. we knew that there were white supremacist, a propensity for violence, that we knew there were going to be armed. all the information was there in the intelligence assessment and the leadership of the capitol police did nothing with it. you've got to know that the leadership of the capitol police answers to nancy pelosi. speaker pelosi. if she runs the security apparatus around our nation's capital. they had all the intelligence, they didn't act upon it because my humble opinion through my research, they wanted it to happen. they didn't care if this happened. you saw some of the video of the oath keepers on the probably is, the capitol police knew weeks in advance that there were going to be there.

>> laura: we get it. speak of the national guard should have been there is my point. >> laura: there was a lot of conversations out there, somewhere dismissed by the left that the administration had offered the national guard to deploy before january 6th to protect the capitol. that was declined. is that true or false according to what you know? >> there's a lot of finger-pointing with the capitol police board which is the architect of the capitol, the house the house sergeant-at-arms in the senate sergeant at arms. they're the ones that have to declare the emergency to get the national guard they are. when i know through my research is that how sergeant at arms who is no longer there, he was waiting to get approval from leadership the article the approval from leadership is nancy pelosi. >> laura: fungus mcdonald , they aren't really content to punish people who broke the law or political opponents for

that matter. what they perceived to be a tax, but once they are sure of going to happen going forward. watch. >> our work must doom much more than look backwards because of our mock rc remains in danger, the conspiracy of the will of the people is not over >> laura: if they lose in the midterm, is that part of their erosion of democracy they're worried about? >> i believe so. i watch the entire two hours of the mess and the reality is that all they are doing is trying to paint a new political narrative that voters need to think about in november. the democrat agenda has failed and we know the reasons why. if no need recap. but to throw it out that the danger to democracy that exists is ludicrous. people are avoiding right now all across the country and there is no issues. americans are letting their voices be heard at the ballot box and in many cities and

states. there is no issues and i don't know what they're talking about except to cover up for their disastrous agenda that her in every aspect of american life. >> laura: congressman, we heard early on that a lot of the people who were arrested were being kept in solitary confinement. under pretty terrible conditions. many cases not able to talk to their family members. it kept for months and months and months pending trial, what do we know about tonight? >> i was told that the individuals here in the washington, d.c., gulags would rather be transferred to guantanamo bay because they treat the terrorists better. that's what we do know. it's interesting and we had a family from my district called me and said her husband was arrested on tuesday, the fbi barricaded the entire street. fbi agents in the backyard, they had a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old at home.

the fbi is coming in with their guns blazing. the fbi needs to tone it down a little bit, this is getting ridiculous. what we are seeing and now this individual is being charged and being held. he's going to be taken away from his family, he's been home for 18 and 17 months. they're arresting him and keeping away from his family. we are going to do everything we can to help his family. >> laura: congressman donald's, i want to lay another moment from the chairman. >> i'm from a part of a country where people justify the actions of, ku klux klan emma and lynching. i'm reminded of that dark history as i hear forces today and trying to justify the actions of the insurrectionist's on january 6, 2021. >> laura: january 6th and equating the kkk, even the probably is a belief where minorities themselves right? including the leadership.

is this effective? i don't know where he's going with that? >> this is more gas lighting from benny thompson on the left. everybody knows it was disastrous for the united states, but nobody's trying to equate that to januar. everybody republican who is in the capitol building, we didn't agree with what happened on january 6th, we renounce the violence of january sixth and it's clearly unacceptable. but the gas lighting from the democrats remain when they tried to find some way to salvage it back that they don't know how to run a country like the united states of america because their agenda is flawed to come out terrible, and it doesn't help americans try to live their lives today and going forward. >> laura: congressman, before we go i want to remind everybody of the carnage that was unleashed, the chaos that was unleashed by the left often to no comment by democrats on capitol hill back in 2020. more than 2,000 law enforcement officers were injured during the

blm riots causing a record-setting $2 billion in damages nationwide. did we ever have democrats lead hearings on any of this? >> absolutely not and why i? because of his nt for an blm. they're the ones that committed all the riots in the summer of 2020, destroying our buildings, killing people, killing lots of people, police officers, just causing chaos around the entire country. but there is blm and nt file. now they're going after some of the individuals of the group and came up to washington, d.c., that felt the election was stolen and voice their concerns and their opinions. yes, those that went into the capital and assaulted a law enforcement should go to jail. i'm a law man, he should go to jail because you should not put your hands on any law enforcement but you will not see that thousands of people that wear out there and hundreds inside the building that were walking around doing absolutely nothing. these individuals, their lives are being ruined by an fbi

that's doing a horrible thing to these people by the doj, corrupt fbi, enough is enough beer >> laura: thank you, congressman, good to see you both tonight. joining me now is harmeet dhillon, chairwoman of and lee zeldin. i'm at the start with you, there is a trump tweet that the committee really latched onto that they believe is vital to hanging this all on trump. it starts with a "washington examiner" headline, then trump writes "a great report by peter navarro, statistically impossible to lose the 2020 election. big protest in d.c. on january 6th. it'll be wild." we can all acknowledge and you and i have the criminal horror that place on january 6. it was awful and hideous.

but tying a "insurrection" back through the tweets. is this enough? >> lower outcome of this whole thing is nonsense and i'm a lawyer looking at this so-called show trial and shaking my head. they have interests placed scenes of horrible things happening in the capitol with mundane and even banal matters like this, undermining their own case, but what undermines it the most, lower outcome of the fact it's one-sided one-sided's not being her to, cross witnessing the witnesses, the videotapes being shown. this is something that liz cheney is way her finger at donald trump for 45 minutes there. she's the one who will have to live this down and she presided over a trial where only one side was heard. they had the impeachment and two impeachments, it failed, and americans are suffering disgrace for the whole house.

really, a waste of taxpayer resources. of >> laura: i think about what's happening at the border, the cartels running all the people through. we have horrific crime through urban america, chicago, oakland, st. louis, baltimore, et cetera. how much does this cost them? >> it's causing all the folks in the tension that should be on everything that you just discussed and is in. you've got people who are struggling to make ends meet and seen in california $10 gas prices right now. if you will have a prime time house hearing committee should talk about the issues mattering most of the americans. it's a show trial. >> were you there? >> i was, on the house where the time when we first received notice we didn't know exactly what was going on and staying in our seats and ended up getting evacuated. hearing banging on the doors of the house and actually we heard the ones who left we heard shots

fired, capitol police going in the opposite direction. i was on with you that night and spot on that evening, instinctively, still collecting facts you are not using terms that we are still seeing use today. we haven't figured out what to call it, and you were sober and how this was done she said it was undercutting the maga movement. if it wasn't helping the cause. i believe you have people paranoid they will lose power this november, they are hypocritical as he pointed out benny thompson was one of the objectors. you got the desire to put on a show and adam schiff is there, they pulled this out of the impeachment trial and they collect evidence so that they can tell the story from the american public. but people are tweeting into other stuff like your show tonight, they put themselves -- >> laura: it seems like people

are really worried about the future of the country and they know january 6th was an aberration, thankfully. you mentioned liz cheney and of course she was reading another trump tweet tonight, but this one from january 6th. >> donald trump tweeted that he did not condemn the attack. instead, he justified it. these are the things and events that happened he said when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously and viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly and unfairly treated for so long. >> laura: here's the next sentence of the tweet which liz cheney left off. "go home with love and in peace." she spoke 4:30 four agonizing minutes, but she could not fit in the extra few words? >> liz cheney is a liar, this is dishonest from end-to-end and

it's embarrassing. we're talking about that's happening in the country and, they've had their day i think, donald trump is not the president and yet occupying so much real estate. that's all they've gods and this is pointing to help bankrupt the democrats are with their real future of the country. this is all they've got. it's kind of sad. we had hearings in the past about the dark times in the country, and many people are persuaded. i know they can do but he's going to be persuaded by these hearings. other than that our government in d.c. does not care about the people and what they really care about. that's ultimately going to undercut confidence in the government, decreased turnout in elections, this is not a good -- >> laura: this is what it's about tonight. they know, congressman, they will get the clocks cleaned in november. they've driven the country into the ground and they let it burn in the summer of 2020, including right here in new york. they let it all smashed, people

riffing, hitting people and i had to come out they didn't care. now they care? they care because it's going to help them in november and it's not going to help them. it's going to be a disaster for them and this is all they have gone. it's raising them misogyny, it's racism, misogyny, colonialism. >> they see people illegally crossing, fentanyl coming across the southern borders, they're going to pay a price and people -- joe biden's out to lunch. he's moved around the white house ground by the easter bunny, people want to see competency. they are not getting it and so they'll get their clocks cleaned and one other ingredient. they are broken, it's triggered, unhinged, broken. these people are in pieces and their embarrassing themselves come up they feel good to be able to get this out of their

system. >> laura: you see the morning console where two-thirds i think of as g.o.p. voters, they want trump to run in 2024. none of the stuff that they are doing is working. as we condemn criminality against any public buildings, police officer, law enforcement officer, the two-thirds of this, the republicans want him to run again. great to see you both. one of the stories he did not hear tonight is that matthew her knock who cannot be here to tell it. the coroner's report that he died of a suicide on february 25th. although he died of a broken heart, his community which he loved some of the country and the justice system killed his spirit and his zest for life. at the time of his death, matthew was on waiting sentencing for being at the capitol on generator six.

if he pled guilty for obstructing congress and the doj said he entered the capitol and stay there for a 20 minutes. he held a cellular device in his right hand and filmed enchanted with the crowd. there is nothing reported anywhere he was violent, broke anything in the capitol, that he hurt anybody. nothing like that. he went inside the capitol and used a cell phone. that's why they doj went after him. now he's dead. joining me now is jerry perna. perhaps he saw some of the show trial on capitol hill and what's your reaction? >> frankly i tried to not watch it. i know none of it's going to be the truth. >> laura: matthew's not your after committing suicide after of course being charged and pleading guilty for being in capitol on january 6th.

what do you want the country to know about him tonight? >> matthew was a gentle soul. he never committed a crime prior to january 6th, never had so much as a parking ticket. he attended the rally on januars going to be a historic moment that mike pence was not going to certify. he was going to be part of a historical celebration that day. he had no intent of causing any problems or violence, because he didn't have a violent nature, didn't have a violent on his body. >> laura: he pled guilty because he was in the building himself. what happened with the circle of friends and what you think about his job in future after that happened? >> well, he posted a video talking about january 6th and what they experience that day. 's facebook account was taken

down. his social network, his cbd oil sales and other holistic type remedies that he marketed. he lost his base, his customer base with one cancellation of social media. he had over 7,000 followers. his income of course kind of came to a halt and the community in which he lives, the newspaper was brutal. they printed lies constantly with the same horrible picture of him on the front page every time. it began to wear on him. >> laura: a month before his suicide, it was a publications that had the audacity to claim that january 6th defendants were getting off easy and receiving lenience treatment. we interviewed so many people who had basically there are doors busted through by

law enforcement because they were merely at the rally at the capitol. but do you think this was lenient? >> i don't think anybody has been treated lenient. they've gone above and beyond to persecute these people. you have how many sitting in jails right now? going on 18 months about some of them who have not been convicted of a crime. where have you ever heard this happening before? >> laura: i want to thank you for telling the story that the committee will not tell. if we are going to continue to pray for you and your family. >> i certainly appreciate that. there's people right now sitting in the jails and waiting in their homes just like matt was, and if something's not done about the committee and merrick garland, met their grave, is going to be more

matthews committing suicide and they're going to be devastated families like ours. we are not over this, the grief is so tremendous right now. it's a death of a wonderful human being and that's the word here, they are not being treated like human beings. >> laura: this is political targeting of the most obvious source and the double standard between the way one group of people are treated and another group of people are treated. both groups can get out of hand and obviously he was standing and taking photos as far as we could tell in the capitol. >> he did not commit any crimes other than walking in. when police are waiving you income on 58 years old, if i were standing in front of an open door and the police had to come on in, i wouldn't think that's going to be a problem. i did not think i would be arrested for a period >> laura: they didn't show the video tonight and at least i missed that if they showed it tonight. it's become sure they're not going to be to. >> laura: thank you.

the hearings are serving two purposes, paid the political opponents as a band of marauding, domestic terrorists and it's important to try to distract you from biden's many failures. both domestically and on the world stage. if we said this before, americans are pretty smart and have a lot of common sense. two recent polls serve as a stark reminder to the white house and the entire january 6th committee that just how smart they are. morning consult has biden's approval now at 39% and his disapproval at 58%. biden's numbers are worse than trump's at the height of covid and the george floyd riots. if you can believe that, a new quinnipiac poll was even worse. if biden's approval rating, 35% among registered voters and even more devastating, biden's approval among african-americans has dropped below 50% and that's

catastrophic for democrats. and among hispanics, get ready, 24%. here now with newt gingrich, former house speaker, fox news contributor, author of the book "defeating big government socialism" which we have to do most of all. forget 1994 or 2010, what could we be in store for this midterm election of the numbers do not improve or joe biden? >> first of all, the house republicans are starting at a much higher base. 210, five vacancies that are republican. if they gain 25 or 30 seats, it will be the biggest majorities in the early 1920s. i think the election will be the blowout because in real everyday life, this administration is extraordinarily painful. for the american people. i think they will go in, vote to throw the bums out, classic

battle cry, and i would not be shocked, some of the house folks don't like to say it's come up i would not be shocked if they were not between plus 25m plus somebody. of plus 70 will begin to move towards the all-time high of 1894. it'll be extraordinary. but if you watch what's happening around the country, every couple weeks the various experts come out and they say, you know, few more seats leading republican come a few more leaning republican. i saw other studies today where there is a few more seats leaning republican. it could be amazing and frankly last night putting a president on a comedy show when people are in pain is about the dumbest possible scheduling session. >> laura: the desperation over

what they knew is coming in november, you can feel it tonight and the media coverage surrounding it. watch this. >> the amount of new information i learned, think about the story 14 hours a day for 17 months, the last hour. >> laura: newt, it's positively giddy over what the new information was learned tonight. i must've missed missed that new information. >> if this was a jury trial, i think there's two things that came up that destroy the case against donald trump. the first was liz cheney. said openly that they had the intelligence reports three or four days earlier. how can you blame trump if, in fact, there were intelligence reports three or four days earlier with extremist gangs who wanted to come and cause

violence? second, the photographer that they brought income at the documentary filmmaker said that he was with the proud boys and he was surprised that they didn't go to the trump beach and went straight to the capitol. how can you blame trump's speech of the people who were violent didn't even go to the speech because they've come to washington for the purpose of violence. it's an absurdity, but it raises the question they'll never try to answer. why did nancy pelosi turn down president trump's offer of 20,000 national guardsmen? if they had the guardsmen at the capitol, nothing would have happened. that's the recommendation of the capitol police chief who was overruled by chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. >> laura: aren't they claiming unless i'm mistaken that that didn't happen? that there was no such -- and

there was such requests or offer by president trump? i know they are disputing that. >> they claim it but the fact is the offer was made three days out because you know they offer had to have been made because it was turned down. they could not have turned down the nonoffer of. the fact that they had the sergeant at arms at both the senate house turned down the offer means by definition there must have been an offer of. >> laura: you're a historian. you've written so many history books over the years. the idea that this was a coup, or a coup attempt, and insurrection, very briefly, why is that experience claim fail on its face? >> it's not, a coup is a serious effort to replace the government by an organized group who have

that purpose. this was a mob, a riots, and totally opposes the speaker of the house. if i her for allowing the capital to remain vulnerable. it should have been something that could've been controlled easily, but a real coup is an effort to occupy the government and to change who controls washington. there is no evidence of anything like a coup here. this is all hysteria by the left for the reason that you said earlier. they'll be wiped out this fall and this is one of the handful of straws they've got left to grasp at and they are hoping that they can rouse the country. i hate to tell them, the price of gasoline, the price of food, 15,000 people in a convoy about to enter the u.s. illegally. the murder rates in big cities, those are all going to trump what the democrats are trying to do. >> laura: thank you, great to

see you tonight. we told you this i think, the whole week about the real terrorists, they are using intimidation and violence, and violent campaigns to threaten anybody with whom they disagree politically. we see this in their continued attack on presidency centers or assassination attempts of the supreme court, but is this no concern of the democrats? congresswoman jackie speier, here she was today recounting her harrowing encounters during the jonestown massacre nearly 45 years ago. >> i believe i'm the only member of the house that's a victim of gun violence. my body is riddled with bullets. i live with that every single day. >> laura: her ordeal was horrific but she breezed past something that happened less than five ago. if a deranged bernie sanders

supporter fired off more than 60 rounds and add republican colleagues. five people were tingling in my next guest who almost died. congressman steve scalise turns me now on the hearings that were being held, it was convenient and i can't imagine she forgot what happened five years ago, your reaction? >> laura, look, clearly we knew what happened. whatever her reason was, i think most americans are sick and tired of the politicalization to change the topic. they know what the american people are angry about. they're angry about what joe biden and nancy pelosi and the far left socialist agenda have done to people. they wish congress was addressing those things, not an attempt to take away guns it seems like over and over again they feel like they can blame

putin, anybody else, the american people are smarter than that. they figured out who is the cause of the pain their families and our families are suffering. they can change the direction, what's coming in november, they are scared to death of because they only want power. they want to shut down cities. they want to defund the police. they want to do the things the american people are tired of and the american people will have the final say on november 8th. >> laura: you watch the hearing tonight and the attempted production value, going to get into that with raymond arroyo, but i don't know how much all of it costs. they've been working on this for 18 months. approximately. it can't be cheap and last time i checked they were kind of broke. going to grand central station, you will see 30 or 40 people living on the streets, crawling on the streets, throwing up on themselves because they are so

sick or addled with drugs, i don't know which. america is crumbling especially in the urban areas. it was blowing money on them and for what reason? >> one important question that we have asked of the mainstream media to ask speaker pelosi, who paid the hollywood producer? it's against the law to use taxpayer funds to produce a documentary trying to promote their political agenda or go after their political opponents. if we have not heard an answer. who paid this guy? not only produce the video, but supposedly covered up for jeffrey epstein so he's got his own track record. but how did he get paid? he's not allowed to get taxpayer money to get paid and if he did it for free, that's a contribution that's also illegal. the question of who paid him and how much did he get paid and how did that transaction occur is an interesting question because they are may be of law.

people on that. no thanks, i'd rather see harriet hagan do it. >> but laura, why is the political theater being produced now? last night's late night theater didn't go so well. >> turn on the tv, look at the ads. when was the last time you saw biracial couples on tv? one of the things that it's very difficult now to have an even with notable exceptions, the really good reporters, they had to get a number of clicks on the nightly news. we haven't been able to communicate in a way another way. >> that's kind of perfect. >> one of the things, i'm going to take a break and then we'll talk a little bit more. >> did you see the edit? this was a heavy edit. jimmy kimmel was practically his running mate trying to help them along the way, but look lot, when the president has this much trouble communicating and the

agendas playing out the way it is, you have to hype up the drum around the riots at the capitol dome asked before, i nothing it works >> laura: this is one step away. trying to get to the community room now. >> i'm going to let that go. raymond, thank you. up next, favorite antiracist is here to explain what you're doing now that's racist. stay there. ♪ ♪

>> laura: imagine if your sole purpose of life is to tell everyone that their instinctively racist and that's basically everything around us right now. that very much defines racial activists parked pocket tour. an excerpt on how to raise an antiracist that was published in the atlantic we talked about the distressing moments that is then 1-year-old daughter playing with the blue-eyed white baby doll at day care. after noticing her playing with it for a few days he and her partner wondered if our black child is hatching to the white doll is that she already breathed in the smog of white

superiority. wow. joining me now prager you personality former left-wing activist. when my producer sent this to me today this has to be it. this has to be totally phony but alas it is not here we are. >> one is laughing i haven't been able to laugh recently but this i can laugh at it through the ridiculous if you look at the people who they've inspired by like richard delgado the guys who really set the foundation for critical race theory and everything that max kennedy says they said that racism by every single indicator is in a be there for basic problems for people of color specifically in america. so when you view the world through racism for someone like max kennedy you will find it everywhere even in the dolls that your little kid is playing out in day care.

unbelievable. >> laura: i'm sure that you were curious what was kind of the big twist in his story will hear it is. he said that i rummaged through the toys of the day care and did not come across a single doll that looked asian, native, latino, and black. every single doll i saw was white. anger overtook me i was mad at myself. his daughter had been going here for several weeks and not once did he examine the toy chest. i didn't expect this story to be a tragedy he was mad at himself the whole time. >> oh, my gosh, his poor daughters life is ruined. it's really unbelievable here when you talk about representation and out kids needed if your kids need a person of color doll in order to be represented you doing something wrong with your parenting. i don't need to see a biracial neurosurgeon or newscaster to know that i can be that. it is because when my parents told me.

kennedy's and give his kid the teaching of antiracism and critical race theory and effectively rob a lot of this young child's life. it is sad when i think about it in depth than what this child might be learning at their young formative years. >> laura: it sounds like she is not worried about colors of dolls she is learning to play which is always good. i don't know how much of the hearings that you watched since you actually have a life, but i want to get through some your thoughts about the chair bennie thompson. he was attempting to tie people who don't worry about january 6th with those who ignored slavery. he said that at the top of his remarks going back to his own where he's from and is part a country of course white supremacy and kkk and the january 6. >> i did not able to see this with my own eyes but i know it's interesting the last story.

when use things like the kkk and slavery to make your point or to demonize someone on the opposite side of the political aisle you done yourself a disservice and you've done the american people a disservice and what you've done with those words like the kkk, slavery which are truly horrific and represents a real transgressions that people put others through you take the meaning away from those words. i've been called a white supremacist, i've been called a. i don't think that i'm truly capable yes on many occasions. >> laura: waite, who calls you under what circumstances we are called a white supremacist? >> the circumstance of surly just being a conservative makes me the biracial face of white supremacy laura. the word means nothing to me because of how often is thrown frivolously at people who don't deserve it. that's truly what he has done with the word. >> laura: the news today that joe biden has dropped under 50% with african american voters in that new morning console poll the numbers are disastrous to

across-the-board your reaction to that of those people turn out to vote that is a landslide in the midterms for the republicans. >> my reaction of that is hope they turn out the vote. so they can use their voices go so long right now the democratic party in so many people in the blue side of the aisle have been using black voices as a means to bolster their arguments in a push own agenda and it turns out that their agenda doesn't benefit black people who would've thought that. so now they can turn on cnn and hear about all the racism that they are facing in their daily lives, but when they go to the grocery store and they can't get tampons, or they can get baby formula or they can get to the grocery store because how expensive gases, maybe they're gonna look up and see who's running this country right now and go no not gonna go for it. >> laura: i certainly hope that you are right and we really appreciate tonight thank you so much. but we saw tonight at the january 6th trial was the opening and a 2022 midterms it's an opportunity for the democrats along with their new totals to
