it's called human trafficking and it's happening right under taken down by sections and that's all the time weal leh this evening. >> please setavt. your dvr so yu never miss an episode. thank you for joining us and making this show possible. fox is .com hanadi .com for news any time. let not your heart trouble. >> laura , thank you again for my hats here. welcoming since we have a climate emergency, you needrg to know protect your even though you have a beautiful kind of hair, you still have to protect your iris and yeah, you know, it's a climate of think. >> i've actually been at events people. . >> so that's not real.s i a poet, can't get as hard as you want to. >> people actually think you have a toupee. i've never heard that before. ava lady one time at a book signing goes that's real. >> and i'm like, go ahead, pull it as hard as youas want. hannity you know, it's true. the true motivation of that

woman. i'm not sure what it was, but i'll save that for another conversation. yeah, she's got to get close to pulling your hair. come on . that's an old trick. oh, the new one . i'm out of the loop.i i don't know. yeah, he's blushing. you can see it through is an all right. i'll pick it up where you left off. have a good night. all right. i'm laura ingraham. this is the angle from washington tonight. an alarming exchange in the house. at >> representatives today revealed the true intention of democrats when it comes to your firearms. we're going to go back and show you this back and forthk and speak to the republican who elicitedto admission. but first, the real military destroyer. >> that's the focus of tonight's angle. let's face it, the left is really good at destroying things. they destroyed education during the pandemic with all the school closures. they've destroyed respect for law enforcement. we see that all the time.em they destroyed historical markers, ripped down statueses.

>> they destroyed entire city . ocks to honor george floyd they destroyed independent medical practices with obamacarend. they destroyed free speech on college campuses and they'ree hoping to destroy the electoral college. >> the filibusterrde, the u.s. i senate. and if we lete them, the constitution itself. >> so basically anything that holds traditional american ideals has to be destroyed. it looks like they'reoy on the path to destroy our all o volunteer military. and as the media obsess on the fate, climate change crisis, they're glossing over a real crisis, the gradual depletion of our military fighting force. a result, most americans don't have a clue about how dire the situation is . >> so how bad is it with thef army is right now short of its sixty thousand soldier recruiting goalecru for the fisa year by half, that's thirty thousand soldier deficit . and for next year it's expected

to be evenen worse. don't forget the army had already reduced its annual recruiting target by 5000 because of an earlier shortfall . and yes, we've known for months the problem is occurring across all military branches. >> this is a completely disaster and the white house and congress should be working 24/7 to address this. instead, they spend their days talking about wind power and january six , where's the war hawk liz cheney and alll this? >> well, late today the army issued a five page memo i that tried to explain why this is happening, claiming they're inap a war for talent and are in the most challenging recruiting environment since nineteen seventy three . >> recruiting motivated, fit and academically proficient men and women continue to be a challenge. only twenty three percent of military age e. men and women in the united states are qualified to serve.

now read between the lines people. he seems to be saying that o our potentialf pool of recruits is too fat, too stupid and too unmotivated. >> but that's not all.t we've got unprecedented challenges with both a post covid-19 environmentnt and labor market, but also competition, p private competition with private companies that have changed their incentives over t time. ur >> okay, this is absurd. did we not have a free market for labor competition before the last few years? and that's for the post covid-19 environment reference. the general should really have been more blunt. the vaccine mandate is definitely a factor here. this may get even worse because the u.s. army national guard and army reserve are facing the prospect that some 60000 of their force may not be willing to get the vaccine. and if they don't get the vaccine,e, they will not be able

to be part of the active force. it would not be able to be activated and go on missionss . it in've seen the report. i give them kudos for that. but what a nightmare. >> but they have to know that this would happen if the military did it and they did it anyway. of course, don't press gen. milleyon or secretary ostin abof any of this because they're more worried about propping up the ukrainian military than fixing ours. >> we're going to keep moving at the speed of war.. we're going too make clear that does not make right.s here we're going to stay strong with our fellow contact group members and we're going to supporte' ukraine's self-defense for the long haul. and we're going to defend the rules based international order that protects us all. >>th okay, so much to unpack there. but the speed of war now they're the same people who thought that the afghan army could hold out for a year . but of course, it collapsed in just a few weeks. their advice and analysis

is consistently wrong and under their leadership, the russians don't fear us . putin's grinding right through ukraine and the chinese don'tr fear us .us they're even threatening potential trip to taiwan. and meanwhile, young americans aren't inspired by them. sod i hate to break it to the generals, but our troops don't sign up to fight foro their ideas rules based international order, which only basicallyer helps china big business and the globalists and has this international order that general austin wasas just referencing protecting us from fentanyl or border crime or the closing of our factories. the outsourcing of our jobs has to stop china from buildingit many coal plants is a well pleases. >> of course not. >> the problem with our senior leaders, our senior leaders i inability to have courage, their hypocrisy, it's affecting all other things for senior military leaders have demonstrated through action thatmo c we can't trust them.

and you would be naive to think that a young american isn't online, going on the internet and seeing all the missteps that we canan clearly see of our senioril military leaders. >> well, the fact of the matter is in large part, our military is suffering a severe recruitment crisiss becauseli our military leadership is more focused on being woke and following dr. fauci thanau winning wars and liberals in the house.e. >> they're totally fine with that. not surprising. t ino fact, they want to make the military even more radical . >> we can and must do better to ensure that we continue to provide world class training to our female military leaderstr around the world. this amendment would simply s require a gender analysis assessment of the program by signaling the importance of diversitymore gender in the program. this is not just important, it's smart. >> now, how worried do you think china and russia are about their lack of a gender analysis in their military training? just embarrassing. now we see the stark change in

our military identity, don't we? and the type of recruitment videoeo they're producing these days. now, during reagan. in the 80s, the videos look like this reaching deep inside you. things you haven't done rough going what you have long. h we do more before 9:00 a.m. than most people do all day. they first sergeant and they want to go back to the 80s unabashedly patriotic, totally cool. well, this is how they recruit. >> today is the story of a soldier who operates donations, patriot missile defense systems. it begins in california with a

little girl raised by two moms . literally, they're using cartoon. why is having two mommies relevant at all? the answer is it's not. so that would definitely get an a as like a woman studies project . but it fails in the recruiting soldiers. vardaman the fact is our military leadership has just rolled over for the most radical left wing ideas out there and within our military, including at our military academies. they're actively teaching crt and actively promoting the trans and identity agenda.a after speaking with several military sources from enlisted men to recent grads of octs, the angle believes that this recruitment crisis is a self-inflicted wound by the jokesters. and atti some point you do have to wonder if this is their goal ,just as it's their goal to force you to suffer economicou pain t for their transition to

clean energy is their goal to destroy our all volunteer force in order to pave the way for a smaller global force? it's twenty , twenty two . weit face an's aggressive advery in communist china and our standing army is contracting as theirs is growing. in fact, it's far larger than ours is now from merciless rampage across ukraine to china's menacing actions near taiwan, we already see the balance of power beginning toto tip away from the u.s. but under biden and the woke military leadership, our enemies are getting bolder and bolder e by the day. now, the entire time that trump was in office, the military kept putting up roadblocks to the changes that he wanted to make, including the withdrawal from afghanistan. by the way, the pentagon and all its arrogance resisted president trump every step of the way.

>> this is how much i power they havee are almost a government under their own gop members of congress have a moral obligation right now to hold hearings, carry out investigations and demand real reform. we love our enlisted troops and we cherish their heroic sacrifices. >> they don't deserve this. congress should not just keep shoveling money out the door n regardless of the results, but that's exactly what they're doing. biden asked for eight hundredfo and two billion dollars for the next year defense budget. the house ended up voting to round it up to cool eight hundred and thirty nine billion dollars on real america is quickly moving from position when we ask what should we do in international affairs to one where we ask can we do anything when the american taxpayers have spent trillions of dollars and our military h and lost thousands and thousands of brave and selfless troopsus, we

have a right and wee have a duty to require accountability across the board. bad enough that americans have lost faith in our public schools and our public health sector and our government in general. enttbut if americans lose faithn our military, we will be facingi a grave national security threat. >> and that's the angle. joining me now is arkansas senator tom cotton, who sits on the armed services committee . senator , absolute control of the senate because you don'tat have control of the senate at this moment given the dire situation that we're facing,o what can and should republicans do right now to address what is a 911 emergency law? we hope to win back control this fall so we can begin toot get to the bottom of a lot of what's been happening in o pentagon, whether it's the foolish and wasted whichoo looking for so-called extremists or some of the challenges that you outlined recruiting.

but i've taken steps already earlier in this congress, i demanded that all officers being promoted to the general ranks answer a series of simplem questions like do they believe the constitution, the declaration is racist or do they believe that skin color should be a primary consideration for promotion in the military? and i say that they get it wronggcon s. i'm not going to wave their nomination through and i've got a lot of feedbackru from the officer corps that has filtered down and the message is being sent that they should not be engaged in those kind of politically charged issues that we need a professional officer corps that does not engage in politics in any way and isan focus on the military. sod mission which is fightingng and winning our nation's wars. so right now, unless you guys have the senate, you haveou the majority in the senate, there's there's nothing i mean, you've written the letter. you've asked themyo the questions, but there's nothing else you guys can do because last time i checked i, every republican is voting for this massive increase in military spending.e given all the things that we're seeing out there in the pentagon, there's more that

we can do as well in addition to the oversight hearings that we can pushve that our senior military leaders on these questions. there is just one point out the annual defense bill . i voted against that this year in committee just like i voted againstt last year in committee because it had so much of this left wing social engineering. i'm notvo just going to vote for something because they slapped defense on it. t and ihi don't think a lot of our troops want us to either. in the end t, we were able to strip out almost all of those provisions and i was able to support it in the i hope to do that again this year, but i'm not going to vote for a bill that, for instance, requires women to enter the draft something is massively unpopular with the american people to include women nc in america. again, our military. it's not a jobs program. it's not designed to engage in social engineering. it's designedngng to fight and n our nation's wars. and as youe outlined at the beginning, we face a recruiting crisis as bad as it's been since vietnam. that's not because there's

a strong economy. we had strong economies before. it's because so many kids who might join the army orne the marine corps, the navy, the air force see some of these controversy. they hear aboutut it from peoplh on active duty and they decide that maybe they don't want to do it right now. i mean, kids who are thinking about joining our military military thi, they want to learn how to kill bad guys. they don't want to learn how to use the right pronouns into that. and to that point, senator , i hear at the air force chief of staff today detailing one of their so-called top priorities. >> what's the one thing about george boys death, as tragic as it has been, is open up our nation. the conversation the key part is not that we talk about. it's the things that we're doing to diversity, inclusion. we got to resource it. here we got to put money behind it. if it requires money, we've got to put personnel behind it. we have leadership involvement and we've been doing that. >> senator , climate change really that these are not the priorities of an eighteen

year old that wants to join our military. our military is that is one of the most diverse. we're paying for this, but our military is already one ofti the most diverse institutions in america. when i served on active duty, wein had blacks and latinos, asians, whites. what mattered to us was not o the color of our skin.ur itit was the red, white and blue a that we all wore on our shoulder. but when you hear this fromld these liberals who want to neuter the military year after year, that the military is fulla of racial extremist and predators, that it produces all these traumatized fragile egg shells, that america is not a country that we should be proud of and be willing to fight forli. ur we shouldn't be surprised that young men and women areen reluctant to sign up forli our military. the cia director referenced the issue of the climate watchal . >> think we have the biggest existential threat in many ways is climate change. so it is our responsibility to

help policy makers in the u.s.ve government understand the consequences of climate u change created as part of a newn mission or unit. >> it's focused on these issues. we've expanded its staff. >> so this is what our cia is pushing. the air force is pushing the diversity equity inclusion agenda. what do you think china is thinking watching all of us ? can they actually believe it is going to be thisis is this is the united states of america . china is probably laughing that a major political party and its chief enemy , the democratic party, wants to hamstring hamstring oil and gas production in which the world's leader and they want to empower so-called green energy technologyen, which china is thu world leader of. that would be their national strategy. but climate change is not the single biggest existential crisis c that we face.t the biggest extinction crisis e we face is that china is to replace us as a world superpower and they are rapidly

building out their nuclear forces that may one dayat overmatch our nuclear forces.th that's a real existential crisis. well, senator , i hope we certainly get to the bottom of this recruitment crisis in the military. this fromm the vaccine mandate to the woke. t this to mean this is this is all we should be talking about. and i appreciate your pressing them on all these issues a. us thank you. now,w, it isn't just the militay suffering from a retention problem. h our country is facing a hideous a dangerous shortage in police. wait until you hear the numbers that we're about to reveal to you. >> stay there, partisan division, life insurance. no, but we have life insurance ,john . i'm trying to find something we can afford. fortunately, in only a few minutes, select put down john , a five hundred thousand dollar policy for only twenty nine dollars a month. and wife and a

don't win 887 three one nine four six six. >> now, while the military is slowly losing its ability to protect and defend something just as pressing is happening on the streets throughout the united states, if you've noticed this. but police forces are being hollowed out by lagging recruitment and early retirement. so how bad is it? fox news correspondent dvin corke has the details for kevin dating laura from georgia to minnesotaet, kansas to oregon and countless locales in between the nation is dealing with a massive critical staffing shortage at law enforcement agencies of all

sizes and shapes across the country. in fact, according to a recent comprehensive study, the profession is in the midst of a 25 year low of new police officers entering the field. and all this is happening, by the way, just as officersfi are retiring or resigning and leaving the force because of disabilities at an alarming rate. and that's just the half of it. critics say fewer legal protections, most civic leaders and defund the police efforts have even led some forces to be disbanded altogether. they point to some small towns like morris, minnesota, which just disbanded a force which had been around for one hundred and forty years, a victim of changingor attitudes about policing. some have suggested, and i should add this to some big cities are really suffering. seattle, for example, currently has about 950 police officerst and that's the fewest in more than 30 years. and the real number that will shock you more than 300 wow. >> have retired or resigned since 20 , 20 . >> and like kevin , that is so

disturbing. thank you so much for thatu report tonight. t.and here now is former police officer now radio host brandon tate. brandon, what's the biggest driver of these low numbers? >> think we lost here. we lost brandon's audio. >> i can't hear him. we lose them. in well,g i'm going to say this. if we will get brandon back and i'm going to say this i happen to personally know and everyone knows i spent a lot of time in minnesota. i personally know i probably seven or eight now. minnesota police officers. i'm talking about people with , i don't know, 15 , 20 years experience who retired early. they didn't want to, but they retired early after 2020 a after what was done. i think we have brandon now. i'm on my soapbox. brandon, when you weren't with us, i'm on my soapbox

talking about allen my friendsrd who retired in minnesota. brandon, i think you can hear us now. >> i can hear you. what's driving this shortage when you demoralized the fun and to humanize police officers ,you're not going to find men and women that are willing to put their lives on the line when they don't feel protected by the community, are protected by the city council ores any of the leaders that are out there. you know, being a police officer isn't easy job. this isn't something that you b sign up for because you become rich one dayay is that people ae willing to make the sacrifices that most people won't make. li people are willing to go out and risk their lives for perfect strangers to do a job that god has calledd them to do. and so when you don't protect them, you're not out supportingy them. when i they get into an altercation with a criminal and you want to send him to l prison for the rest of their lives. no, i'm just goingbos to sign up for this. it's notn an easy job. so i wish that people would internalize and understand that these are humans. these are people that we need in our society. if we are not going to stand up for them, they're not going to

be around. >> and brandon, this is real e world effects and new orleans, the city council's data now says that they now lead the nation for the highest murder rate per capita and at the same time officers are fleeing their police department in droves with few applying toar replace them. so are american cities with this trend. and it's a trend across american cities in a death spiral unless they get some political change. >> 1000% they are in trouble. people don't realize what they have until the gone people take the luxury of going to sleep at night, hopingre and praying that they're safe and that will be protected by police officers. but when they're not around, these criminals will beof emboldened. a lot of crime is committed to opportunity when you have police on the streets, when you have police officers proactively policing, when you have thems p saturating in particular areas, the criminals have to hunker down and they're not oututim exposing people to become victim. but when you have a police

force that is not proactively, proactively policing like we've , there are guns of circulating drugs circulating. they are out to kill and destroy communities. and if police officers are out, there to thwart them, we have no chance. and this is whyi i'm a huge advocate of trying to get our o pushing people to own their own firearms and to be proficient. when cops are not there to help you, you can at least help yourself and be safe. >> i know you're really good buddies of corey bush is the congressman from missouri who is also black lives matter activist that helped propel her entry into politics. so she refuses to rein in all the defund the police nonsense. but we learned that she spent nearly 400000 bucks in campaign cash. brandon, for private security, according to federal financial filings. so that connected in the elite always get their protection.

>> but it's the regular people, the workaday people who always w suffer under these inane policies, always without fail. >> we were peasants compared to them. they don't believe that youou protection because they don't care about your protection. they don't care if you die.are they don't care a about young people dying in the middle of the street and drive by shootings because they are protected by armed security. >> these people do not care about you. your lifeou or anything other than political leverage. the only reason cary bush and others are saying the things that they're saying because they want to play on our emotions to get votes. if they really care, they will be advocating for the second amendment. a they would advocate for police officers to be refunded or even funded in a more effective way because police officers need more training. if you want to combat police officers making poor decisions w ,you want to combat police officers, maybe not being able to communicate with the publicer ,thene they need more trainingth and that is going to comeat with more funding. but i want to be very clear . they don't care.

the cities are going to burn to the ground before they actually take corrective measures and .: >> well, and if they just said something simple like don't resist the police when they ask you to do somethingo and you'r. not going to get shot. but they don't want to say that. they never want to say that. but that's in every case, if you don't resist the police, you usually will be totally fine. so brandon, thank you. tonight. i'm glad we got your audio back . and remember, get your usa made freedom matters here. it's cool for the summer. you going to love it all? the tumbler you got the little cuzzi for your drink. >> not that you drink too much, but you know, i'm in the month of july, all the proceeds donated to the woodson center. a lot of you guys love the polon shirts and i love giving them to you. so make sure to go to the website. laura ingraham .com. but up next, file this under the be careful what you wish for. democrats are bolstering republican primary candidates coast to coast in hopes that they're easier matchups this fall. there's just one problem. and glenn greenwald is here to explain it. and speaking of regret,

democratic organizations are actually funneling money to those very candidates that they claim they're so worried about itso. so the latest beneficiary is maryland republican gubernatorial candidate dan cox. he was the recipient of more than one point one six million dollarsha in television advertising from the democratic governors association that hopes he'll be easier to defeat this november. and he isn't alone. the dems spent one point five million in colorado trying to boost mil the republican runi for senate in illinois. pritzker and democratic alignedo groups spent thirty two million dollars ahead of the primary there to think of potential challenger richard irvan. and in pennsylvania,va democratic gubernatorial candidate josh shapiro ran ads boosting eventualnioc challenger doug mastrianni that general election race is now within the margin of error, though.n joining me now is glenn greenwald, pulitzer prize independent journalist whose work you can find on substory. glenn, is this a real threat to democracy and or not if they're helping those candidates? >> what's happening here

? >> yeah, i mean, that's the thing is extremist rhetorice gets tossed around quitetsnd frequently in our politics. and one of the things i try otho do as a journalist is test the authenticity of whether people actually believe what they're saying and the consensus, not the fringe view, but the consensus is democratic party activists and their media allies is that the trump wing of the republican party is a like party that they actually are an existential threat to american democracy. they aim to overthrow democracy and install a white nationalist dictatorship in its place t. if you really believe that, laura , you would think it would be kind of a moral to fund the campaigns of those people simply because you think you have a better chance of beating them. precisely. because you may not end up beating them, you may end up losing to them as they lostn the trump at 2016 when t they thought he was the easiest to beathees. and then you've ended up empowering people that you claim are basically trying to end american democracy. ame they don'tricae reallyndo believe that rhetoric.

>> well, and an msnbc pundit just dismiss cox's chance in the fall in november in maryland , which there are frankly, larry hogan's out in much better, more reasonable candidates that will destroy bet once maryland republican party purge themselves of the crazy trump element. and i certainlyen think he's finished as a reasonable alternative for maryland republicans against a good and strongli democrat plan. >>t and always reassuring when msnbc is the arbiter of what is good for republicans. pu yeah,bl i mean, you can go back or in 2016, as i know you know, and find very mainstream liberal pundit and saying exactly the same thing about donald trump. they were saying we really are k rooting for donald trump. wenoer hope the republican party is dumb enough to nominate trumpp . ty instead, i a much more formidabe establishment candidates like jeb bush as or marco rubio becae we know that will beat them. and of course, they got what t they wanted.

they got donald trump and they ended up losing guy, even though trump was not veryy popular because hillary clinton was even more unpopular. and i think what they don't realize is how hated establishment candidates are. they may be right in particular cases like marilyn, but in general, populous candidates have a much greater appeal to large parts of the electorate and they're playing a very dangerous game. democrats are by helping to win the nomination, people that they claim are intent on destroying american democracy a. yeah, they're doing there's an interesting race in arizona between karen rabson and kerryrr lakey and trump endorsed kerry lake and robeson was endorsed by pence and kind of a big cage match there for the gubernatorial race. butas the democrat party decided to give up. thank you to kerry lake. they were going to democratic party, would like to extend a warm thank you to karen taylor robertson for her longtime financial support to help electct democratic candidates up and down the ballot so she gets

e a karen ropes and gets a little thank you because she ended at some point giving money to democrats and so did kerry. i mean, kind it all begins to cancel each other out after a while. i think the voters are just become confused by all of this. yeah, i think the democrats think that they're being veryy clever. but the problem c for them is that if you look at polls, they are basically forsa a massacre and so there's a chance they could lose to t anybodyhe. >> and that's the dangerousus game they're playing. glen, great to say . it's been a while. and in an attempt to ding former president trump, new york city mayor eric adams once called the border issue i a fake crisis. last year he proclaimed his city a destination forro diversity in response to a trump order to do away with sanctuary cities, d.c. mayor muriel bowser announced she to limit cooperation with deportation orders in our city. but now that busses have brought the border issue to their backyards, these not my backyard types are singingy a different tune we already

have for all the shelter system. we're talking about, as you stated, food, clothing, school. this is going to impact our of our schools because we do not turn away individuals because they are undocumented. >> we have for sure called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from reallyck being tricked into getting on busses. joining me now, monica crowley, former trump treasury assistant secretary and host of the monica crowley podcast. monica, i'm guessing that adams may have a different view of diversity. >> one year later or maybe not . >> you know, all of the woke virtue signaling goes right outo the window. laura , when realityut bites right. what this demonstrates is the distinct split between the ruling class and the rest of us . so the ruling class

is perfectly fine with a wide open border because most of them don't have to face the consequences of thoses. disastrous policies. meanwhile, the people in the border states and in a small working class border towns are really bearinge the consequence of this catastrophic open border. but if you're sitting there is an east coast member of the democratic party in new york or washington, d.c., you don't have to faceingt thosn consequences for the little people there for other americans. but the second those h consequences come down on their heads and make their cities more ungovernable, harder to manage. that's when they step forward and say, oh, wait a minute now we didn't sign up for this. well, monica, the fact that muriel bowser, the d.c. mayor, is actually complaining that the homeless shelters are fullth and d.c. because of all the bus loads coming from texas and i i don't know, maybe some fromom arizona as well, but she doesn't complain that

the border is not secure. it's only that the busses are coming and filling up d.c.an homeless shelters. i mean, never going to the root of the problem. ever, never can criticize anything biden's doing. yeah, no, no, that's right. i mean, it's totally political , of course. and they only complain and they only express outrage when it directly affects their ability to run their own cities. but they'll never go after, as you say, the root of t the problem, which is the actual policy and what we knows is it's new york city and washington, d.c., which are large wealthy cities can't handle the influx of illegal immigrants. ma how does anybody expect small working class border towns to t do? and the answer, laura , is they don't because the whole point of the wide open border and this criminal invasion is to flood the zone. it is to overwhelm the system not just at the border t d those border states, but to overwhelm all america's

institutions and system in order to collapse it. so these east coast mayorsay might be complaining about the immediate issue of the strain of resources on their cities. but the bush administration is never going to intervenedmdm and stop the transfer of illegals because they have their eyes on a much biggerey prize, which is the fundamental transformation of the nation. that's been their goal all along. and republicans better get get with it to beat it back . monica, wonderful to see you as always. and sometimes it can seem likeca an exaggeration when republicans claim they're comingng for your guns, right. you don't believe it. but one exchange during a gun control hearing today in congress put that to rest . >> the congressman who elicited the shocking admission, he's here next. it's the number testosterone booster and it's available at wal-mart nationwide. ageless male best made with a whopping six hundred seventy six milligrams of ksm.

so you mean to clarify, mr. chairman, you're saying it is the point of the bill to ban weapons that are in common use in the united states to address the problem with the mohyeldin t ? joining me now is the man who got nadler squeal, congressmanwh van bishop of the house judiciary committee, congressmann, this is about gunj confiscation nationwide. .nadella admitted it. >> you've got to admit it's good for you. >> well, it's true, laura . you know you know very well that the heller decision held in two thousand eight , the supreme court's decision that weapons that are in commonp use can't be bannedon under the second amendment. people have a right to keep them and bear them form self-defense. but that's what jerry said. s they marked up the bill to ban weapons of which the ar 15s and the like and ammunition arezines of which there tens of millions in the united states. and they just they're just going to defy the united states supreme court. >> that's what they've mades t.

clear . >> so they are 15 all the all the mag's that, you know, people buy and they're kind of, you know, they're not meant to last forever. so you can't just have one or two. you have toan't have if you're f you're a gun enthusiast, you want a decent supply of those. so their goal would be no more of those at all, period. well, laura , i mean, there are people all at all timeseo about two and a half million of them were sold last year. so people are facingie the conditions. and in cities where there's disorder and crime,s the defunding of police, the even in an earlier segment on your show and more people are concerned and want to havewa weapons for protection, but democrats want to ban them. and once they ban these, it's clear they're going to come for more . so that's what they're going to do. they've made it very clear and and unless we stop them, they're going to get it done. >> now they're just driving uphe the sales of ar 15s. 15i see today. so democratic congressman raja

krishnamoorthi krishnamoorthi wants to go after the gun g makers as well, congressman, and also end up involving a whole new federal agency to do it. >> watch this. t i think that the ftc should absolutely go after these gun makers in the way that they market their weapons of war to teenagers and young adults. it's's time for the ftc to go after these gun makers for the way in which they placed these weapons in video games like call of duty.ik they use social media influence influencers to get teenagers want to be like those celebrities, congressmen, the seems a bit off the mark even for democrats, but you've a got to hand it to them. they're going to use all tools in their toolbox to try to make it impossible for gun manufacturers to exist. >> kind of like what they're c doing with the oil companies. well,>> our markup is still goig on at this hour, laura . a i'm going tom rejoin it. but they've got another bill to repeal a law passed in two thousand five to keep gun

manufacturers from being targeted by plaintiffs lawyers to try to destroy the industry . they'reug going to they're going to at least put throughgh the committee and put through the house a repeal of that bill as well. they mean they mean what they intend to do. they have no respect for the second amendment right to keep and bear arms. congressman, we are actually hearing that the the legislation has moved through the judiciary committee. so thatic just broke. ut so republicans, you gots your work cut out for you across this country. make your voices heard and the senate's going to have to stop this. but congressman scary for allnt of us who believe in the second amendment. thank you for doing your part to stand up foroi i. t >> but that legislation is moving through cnn, ra their grasp of european politics. well, we're going to show po you next why it's very odd and weighty. my pun
