>> sean: they think they're entitled to commit violence and they will not be punished. will pick it up where you left off. i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle." my ankle exposes the american elites love affair with what is now the european maras. that's coming out. but first, a tale of two covid's. it's october 2020 weeks from the election and former president trump had come down with covid. if you remember the reaction from the media and politico was what you expected, hysterical. speak of the president being sick is huge galvanizing point for the country. >> in large part it's his own dereliction which is partly to blame for this. >> a drunk driver who injured himself in a rack and killed the oncoming sober driver. donald trump injured himself. >> the treatment he's getting at taxpayer expense is privileged

treatment. >> to protect himself or others? >> okay. literally a windbag. with biden's approval hitting record lows, the response from the media is quite different now that joe has caught the bug. instead of the 24/7 had a drink biden's case is being presented as a no big deal. remember, he's actually responsible. >> president biden is vaccinated and double boosted but he's experiencing what we are told is very mild symptoms only and taking antiviral medication and doubled boosted. >> double vaccinated and double boosted. >> reportedly mild by all accounts. >> laura: from her perch among the aspen mountains, the resident snob andrea mitchell answered a bizarre monologue about the president's health

issue. >> especially ronald reagan was considered the oldest other president, george walker bush. he grew up on the job and prime minister and other things you didn't know about jfk. most people did not see fdr in a wheelchair. >> laura: oh, my. then the white house is other press secretary who couldn't help but get a way back to trump. elect in on the idea he was going to be the one who brought in the experienced team who is going to be the president who could figure out the pandemic. i think what we will see here is likely a different sort of approach to it. let's remember the predecessor even though it was in a period where he could have possibly infected other people.

never mind that biden displayed a picture of himself mask lists and announcing the positive test. let's not forget the investigative pieces dedicated to finding out the source of trump's infection. of "new york times" put six bylines on a piece called tracking the white house coronavirus outbreak. seven days following trump's coronavirus trail. >> where was the infected? i don't think we know. >> i don't think that matters, right? i think what matters is we prepare for this. >> laura: i like how he looks over here like i don't know, do you know? why does that matter? contact tracing never worked anyway. i won't hold my breath about the current saga and the coming days at all. joining now mollie hemingway and federalist fox news contributor.

if we were this actual conversation about the president and covid back in 2020. they were hysterical. every person he came into contact with was a potential vector and they blamed him. >> it's amazing, because the media were in a state of hysteria before he got covid. the anchor at the white house doctors, at the treatment he was getting, and every little thing about how he was handling things. doesn't matter where he got it, we saw the pattern repeatedly with corporate media where it ty would blame republicans. you're seeing it again here, no blame associated with this and there shouldn't be in the same world. but little difference we are seeing. >> laura: i want this don't like to play a moment from joe in october 2020. >> he removed his mask and posed for photos.

you can see him giving the photographer giving orders to get pictures from behind him as well to get all the opportunistic shots. >> just to make it more dangerous for her. >> laura: when asked about the massless video and photo of biden today, the press secretary had a slightly different take. >> the videographer was there with him and were in n95 mask. with the photo, he took off his mask so that the american people could see him. >> laura: when trump took off the mask, it was a crime against humanity. so blatantly such a double standard and i don't want to play it anymore because it's so obvious. >> on the second floor balcony, that was too close to other people being in the same room. right now, in san diego, they are making children mask.

yet you have someone who's vulnerable who tested positive. the different standards on the protocols that we are seeing from the left whether it's the political allies in the white house or the children in san diego is just. >> laura: you get the sense that the media are really upset that we are -- not yet, not yet shutting down again. they are itching for another shutdown. >> they because so much hysteria to how we handled covid. if there could have been a sensible approach to all of this and they knew it's a political way defeat donald trump and at that time. i think they're looking for another opportunity to play some of the same things that they did in that era in terms. >> laura: i think people are on too late. most people will not put up with it. i don't want to give the januarh attention at all.

but nicole wallace had a pressing question today in the lead up to it all. >> when i had covid, i binged "lucifer." president biden could also watch something come of the prime time hearing of the january 6th committee. does he plan to watch that? >> laura: who think biden is still number one? why is ron klain still employed at the white house with his track record? >> people are blaming biden, seeing how frail and weak he is in trying to put all their problems on him. in effect, the entire democrat party agrees with the biden agenda and they think by replacing biden some way or another they will be able to get rid of their problems but it's the policy agenda of the democrats that so unpopular. i wouldn't say ron klain is long for the white house world. >> laura: they think it's a messaging problem. great to see you as always in the studio, mollie.

>> this powerful antiviral available to people. now we've just a couple weeks ago where pharmacists can prescribe it. you walk in with a positive test and you can get the same drug the president's getting the white house today. we encourage everyone if you test positive, talk your medical care provider and talk to your pharmacist about getting it. >> laura: do you own stock? can we talk about it a little bit more? >> it's unclear why the white house is pushing the drug so aggressively. it's an antiviral. high risk for progression to severe covid 19 including hospitalization or death, but given he's already had forgo doses of the magic vaccine, does joe biden fit the profile? not only that, this is the same drug that triggered an adverse

boomerang effect. dr. anthony fauci caused him to get another case of covid that was more severe. joining me now is dr. marty makary, professor at the john hopkins school of medicine and author of "the price we pay." would you make of the white house's handling of this especially this relentless push of paxlovid? >> pfizer's getting a free commercial. it's been given off label the majority of the citizens in the united states. it's a nonimmune people, people with known immune systems but given to a low risk people and the result has been a rebound rate of about 50%. you prolong the symptoms in the period where you're contagious and on a population level it drives mutations we are learning more and more about that now. >> laura: today son jacob had a pretty candid take on the the

presidents condition. >> if this were my parents calling in the same position in terms of their vaccination status when they got covid, i'd be worried. around the same age of the president. >> laura: does not surprise you? >> and no -- in the world of fearmongering, it's concerning that we are using the language if i were caring for the president i would simply reassure him. he feels fine, looks fine, he's probably on days six or ten of the covid course even though he just tested positive. >> laura: waits, why are you saying that? that's important for us to note. >> last friday giving a speech in israel, he was coughing and looked ill, didn't look well. it may have been he developed symptoms on that day. >> laura: yikes. apparently he wasn't doing that systematic testing that they are

always hectoring up about when we are in large crowds. that's their protocol, correct? they talk about their great protocols. >> even if you got it yesterday, are you going to go back and contract taste before afterwards? no, basically doesn't matter, we don't think it's important. what's happening all the covid zero policies are self-destructing because the virus is inevitable, people see through it and they're not practical. >> laura: doctor, great to see you tonight and thank you. interest willingly, our next guest handling of covid that set them apart. when public health officials in 2020 were calling on states to resist opening, it was governor bryan camp in georgia who rejected the lockdown mind-set and we praise him. it seems the voters there have not forgotten delivering him a huge primary win a couple months ago. but now he faces stacey abrams. her substantial war chest as she

attempts to villain eyes someone who stood up. good to see you man. >> thanks for having me back. >> laura: when i was struck by the headline and politico that covid cases are skyrocketing again. states have no new plans. again, i get the sense that they want you to shut down the state so you can get a handle on covid. >> the new variant would be shut down then. we put one of the first dates in the country to get our kids back in the classrooms, that's what the data said and the trump administration sends in the by the administration. that's what we've been pushing for. just fighting for hardworking people. the double standard that's out there is incredible. if they were outraged when i reopen the economy but when president biden started doing it, it was the right thing to do. >> laura: governor, he said

i'm going to reopen the economy and shut down the virus. that was the campaign motto, slogan. still though, you can't really shutdown a virus. >> continues to evolve, continue to deal with it. americans have the information now and what the tools are and we should trust them. we should trust people to make the health care decisions for themselves. but also remember we don't have to take lives, we have to take livelihoods. kids in the classrooms, livelihood of giving people good opportunities to be in a great paying job and state like georgia. it that's what we're doing with the lowest unemployment rate. most people working. we were open, consistent, good business. >> laura: the red states will leave the blue states behind and blue states didn't listen. your pal and adversary stacey

abrams reacted after the six week ban on abortion. upheld by the 11th circuit prior to the decision and let's watch. >> we are in the state of crisis in our health care and brian kemp and republicans have made it dangerous. in fact, made it legal for women to live in the state of georgia. what's disturbing to me is because he did not commit treason come out brian kemp being treated as either anti-trump moderate or a fiscal conservative. he's a hard right religious extremist who has decided to force women either interpregnancy or into jail. >> laura: your reaction? >> she's trying to paint me as an extremist throwing spaghetti at the mall to see what sticks. that's not true, you never hear what stacey abrams talks about what we've been working on. we value life in our state and i realize people differ on the

policy and the pro-life legislation. but we've done really adoption reform, we are trying to end human trafficking. if i need to give that child and that mother more benefits after pregnancy, after birth to support the child and support the mother. we are going to continue to do that in the state because we value life. >> laura: you concern yourself with what the woman vote will do because of the six week ban being upheld? >> i'm living in the house of four women. >> laura: other than those in woman. >> great ladies, they value life as well, a lot of georgians do. we are going to continue. we have a culture in our state of doing that. that's what we've done. a very pragmatic way about how we've done that over the years. it's a great opportunities for government, for the private sector, for the nonprofit sector to step up and support these

women and make sure they know what options are out there and continue to have georgia being a state that values life. >> laura: do you think stacey abrams with the teachers union will shutdown the public schools again if she's elected? >> laura, she's got a million dollar donation from two large teacher unions, 2.5 million from george soros. would you think she's going to do? >> laura: gratis a euro, thank you so much for coming on. if you can't watch live, said a serious record on your dvr so you never miss on suite night at 10:00 p.m. up next, why do we want to make the united states more like europe when europe is crumbling? why it's so appealing to the american left. stay there. ♪ ♪er before it can lead to blin. but the areds2 clinical study showed that a specific nutrient formula can help reduce the risk of dry amd progression. ask your doctor now about an areds2 supplement.

the free world, it's angela merkel, not donald trump. >> she is the most important leader right now. >> laura: good clue that it hasn't worked well for germany. at the germany she left behind is not looking so hot today, is it? we see the stark truth. europe in many ways is collapsing. its leaders are giving up and it's a total basket case. life or normal working people is increasingly miserable. >> there's also people who already live on social security. who have then also taken a step of getting additional food at the food bank. >> all of these price increases are paid for by us, small media business owners. >> we try to not turn on the air conditioning, did take the car less, but there is anxiety because you have to think about doing things that were normal

before. >> laura: so sad. it lets review what happen in one month. today, ten years after she was considered the savior of italy's currency, prime minister resigned in parliament and dissolved. france the country there's a total mess of the split government. what's killed killed by the elites? the national front party the marelli party is no longer french. it received nearly 42% of the vote. last month, it got 89 seats up from 8. u.k., boris johnson didn't govern, he was forced out. yesterday he made his final appearance before parliament. >> mission, largely, accomplished. >> laura: welcome my brexit was accomplished but i'm sure he wanted that to happen. now the euro, that's in the

toilet, is actually in parity with the u.s. dollar. we know europe is completely helpless, almost given up vis-a-vis china. they are not strong or principled enough to resist any of chinese aggressive economic. europe's energy policy that's in tatters because we know that they're run by the greaney acts which is killing them and as we approached cold weather months, they're going tg vladimir putin for whatever gas he will send out on the north stream one pipeline. energy rationing, your heart and the clubs we played earlier is being seriously discussed across the e.u. it unveiled a new gas rationing plan this week urging all 27 member states to reduce gas demand by 15% from august through march. how to use less energy is the new european battle cry.

we are also to be happy today against russia reopening north stream one. but we found out it's still not operating at full capacity or even half capacity. russia's is able to play games with a europe that's not strong enough to defend itself against russian aggression. remember how the establishment here and derided trump when he went over to europe and told the european leaders that they had to become militarily stronger. they had to spend more money on their own military. >> diplomats dumbfounded by president trump's attacks on nato allies. >> president trump criticizing the nato allies, attacking the e.u. >> the trump administration under my needle. >> trump has consistently attacked our allies great and small. >> laura: let's remember under the nato agreement they're supposed to spend 2% of the gdp on the military. pretty much no one is doing

that. that's all trump asked them to do. who can forget the reaction of the european leaders when trump demanded they fulfill all the commitments. even when all of their problems are here our economy is still stronger. it's still more resilient than europe you're going 2021, our gdp was about $23 trillion. the gdp for the entire e.u. will come again 27 member states, was just over $17 trillion. remember, this is important, they have 100 million more people than we have here. our military, it's bigger and stronger than all of the european unions combined. we say thank you to the u.s. taxpayers for that. if we are carrying the european union decades on our back after decades and decades of world war ii. up at the left is working overtime to dismantle both our economy and our military as

"the angle" demonstrated this week. they don't want this to be stronger than europe, will they want us to be as weak as europe and essentially fold into that idiotic rural of face international order. we should have learned the hard lesson here. americans are not going to be saved by europe. or the liberal world order. china doesn't give a rats you know what about tony blinken rules-based international order. europe can't save itself. we are going to have to save our self. and that's the angle. a lot of you've been asking about the summer gear on lauraingraham.com. if it goes to the woodson center which is a great organization and all proceeds, go to "the ingraham angle" to a lauraingraham.com we have this awesome sweatshirt, go to lauraingraham.com.

♪ ♪ >> laura: now a follow-up to last night's "angle" about the dismantling of the military capability. to be a superpower, the united states has to follow it. a strong industrial base and we are dependent on our adversaries for vital items like pewter trips. two, a patriotic culture so that talented young americans will be willing to commit themselves to the country's defense. number three, a functional military with officers who know how to train young people to fight and win wars. which brings me to point number four. generals and admirals capable of developing and implement strategies that leads to success and winning. finally, number five, the economy that promotes innovation.

when we produce weapons and technology that are unmatched by adversaries and will not be stolen by them 5 minutes after we invent them. for decades, the u.s. establishment and the supporters in the media have thought the tear down every one of these props to our greatness. they don't want the united states to have a strong industrial base, they wanted to be dependent on china and they look down on the idea of having an informed patriotic culture. instead, they teach young people to hate the country. we know they don't want a functional military because they encourage woke nonsense every step of the way. they certainly don't want to affect the generals and admirals. they do not want an innovative economy, they want americans to stay home, smoked dope, maybe order from doordash now and then. we are headed for humiliation and further military defeat if these trends continue.

we lost in iraq, we lost in afghanistan, the ccp's on the march throughout asia, things are going to continue until the united states has an economic system and military that once again strikes fear into the hearts of our enemies. that means the current establishment must be defeated and that a new era of patriotic leadership that actually tries to advance u.s. interest must take its place. joining now is retired army colonel and senior columnist at town hall. gordon chan, gates stone institute senior fellow and author of "the great u.s. china tech war." the u.s. is losing its grip on it superpower status in part because of the woke of our country and schools. is this being done on purpose?

>> laura, i tend to think people might be reasonable and anticipated consequences of their actions. they've taken the military which was the most powerful in the world, the united states military. i was there. in 100 hours, three american forces annihilates an entire army. then we kind of gave up. we haven't had an unequivocal victory in about 30 years like that. do they intend to make us weak? what they intend to do is have a military that's much like the rest of our institution. it's poorly run, focused on

wokeness, focused on cultural war that is focused on maintaining and expanding the power of the people who got us into this mess in the first place. >> laura: that's not a military. kurt, that's not a military. that's a faculty lounge. what we are describing and this is not a fighting force as it supposed to become because we've got enlisted men and women with some great leaders. but the people running the show, they have to know it's not working. gordon, the ambassador to the u.s. gave us thoughts on how to avoid a cold war between our two countries. watch. >> no democracy versus authoritarianism narrative. no geopolitical confrontation. no decoupling. no arms race. only by doing so can we prevent

u.s.-china relations from sliding into a new cold war. >> laura: gordon, is in the translation don't question us? >> it certainly is. keep on trading with us, keep on supporting our economy, keep on doing all of these things even though we are killing americans, even though we are stealing your intellectual property to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. even though we maliciously attack your friends and allies. by the way, one of the first things that president biden did right after he took the oath of office, he signed his executive order on xenophobia which really was the communist party's playbook. this was straight out of beijing's propaganda masters. yes, they want to weaken the united states because that has to be the only result of this. i have to say, you're absolutely right about that. >> also at the same security

forum, the south come commander spoke up about china's military buildup. watch this. >> what are they going to right now? the largest military buildup in history. one should ask themselves, why? when they have this very capable military, are they putting in trying to gain access to critical infrastructure and other countries across the planet? of china would like to replace the united states. that is their goal. they are well on their way to trying to do that periods view when she could be my favorite military leader that we have right now. i mean, she spoke the truth about what china's real aims are. >> china is a very serious military. the american military is no longer serious, when you say white nationalism, climate change. that's a joke. our threats are our enemies,

china, north korea, iran, russia. real geopolitical threats. not hoaxes invented to allow our democrat leaders to focus on the people they want to gain more power over it. what this does come up a nonserious approach to military with all the woke nonsense that drives away the traditional americans, the world, urban young people who make up the bulk of our military, who provide the real heart and soul. that's what you're telling young men and women not to enjoy. it's heartbreaking for me because i love the military. >> laura: we heard something about plans in ten days from biden talking to president xi. watch. >> talking to president xi soon? >> i think i'll be talking to

president xi in like ten days. >> laura: gordon, this is a set up to remove the terrorist that trump terrace that trump put on chinese goods varied speed >> biden had these long conversations ane haven't seen is the united states impose costs on china for the conduct which is completely unacceptable. biden keeps on issuing these warnings over intellectual property theft and never does anything about it. the conversation served china's purposes by delaying the united states from taking action. this is something that's not only a problem in the administration, but in the previous ones. right now, it's especially aggravating problem for us. >> laura: no good will come from that conversation is my prediction in the position of weakness. great to see you both tonight,

♪ ♪ >> laura: we are showing a land owned by bill gates owned dome again united states adds up to almost 270,000 acres >> it's not like mr. gates has necessarily embraced the values of our community, or state of rural america. >> laura: that was last month we brought you the story of bill gates sneakily buying up 2100 acres of north dakota farm land and he did it under the cover of a truck. the latest in what seems to be a methodical and seemingly calculated push that now made him the largest private land owner in the united states. let's take a look at if he made the purchases. please keep in mind the average farm size united states is

445 acres. in louisiana, he has 70,000 acres. 48,000 acres in arkansas. 20,500 in nebraska, more than 105,000 across 15 other states. what's strange about the new purchase although it coincides with another large purchase 40 miles away that we told you about earlier this week. a ccp link company bought more than 300 acres of land in grand forks, north dakota. 20 minutes from a u.s. air force base. of course bill gates said there is no connection between his land grab and china's in the same general region. but it's unclear exactly what gates intends to do with all the land. as a result, one republican lawmaker is now demanding answers. congressman dusty johnson of south dakota is asking the house add community to testify immediately. joins me now.

a congressman, thank you for joining me tonight. has the chair responded to your request yet? >> i haven't heard anything yet. i honestly don't expect we will any time soon. i get the sense from the democrats in congress that there is not anywhere near as concerned about the chinese purchases in the purchases by bill gates as they should be. >> laura: we know bill gates is into the kind of alternative to beef and other livestock he discussed at length. there is a concern that people want to pulled agricultural land out of production, they are already doing it in europe. here is gates last year boasting about this ntb crusade crusade he's on. watch >> invested in two companies making plant-based meat substitutes. making many meat alternatives and gates is backing a company that's created in the entirely

food source. >> the company meet refined is using fungi and then they turn them into sausage and yogurt. pretty amazing. >> laura: congressman, this is not what you want to hear from the country's biggest farm land owner. fungi, is that when it comes down to? >> he may say it sounds amazing, it sounds pretty disgusting to me. we can let the free market work and maybe he's got a product that will end up being great. i doubt it will ever be a great american beef. but the problem is he doesn't just want to serve the marketplace, he wants to oppose values. yes, bill gates has said that no american should be eating red meat. in fact, developed countries, nobody should be eating beef unless it's grown in the laboratory. he has an interest in imposing those kind of values and the fact that he's snapping up all of this land makes me curious

what in the world he's going to do with that derrico is it related to that mission that he's got? >> laura: he's obviously a big brainiac and climate change guy. livestock producing methane gas. they are at war with the beef industry. it gates took to read it to explain the land grab claiming that it's not connected to climate. at the agricultural sector is important. with more productive themes, we can avoid deforestation and help africa deal with the climate difficulty they already face. is this about seeds now, congressman? >> listen, maybe it is. that's important to get bill gates in front of congress. he's a smart guy, he's not scared of answering some of the tough questions. if we know 270,000 acres of farmland you can grow 50 millio. you could feed thousands upon thousands of cattle. if you were to make a decision one day that he didn't want to

run cattle on the land, we would see a drastic drop in the herd size of the country, that can have a market and significant impact on the price of beef in the country and elsewhere. if we have somebody with that kind of power over the marketplace, congress would not be doing its job if we didn't have some difficult questions. >> laura: if we don't have a problem with the ccp buying up the land, congressman, except for you and a few others not going to have a problem with gates. we appreciate it and will be following the story. when you have to overcompensate with your boss, the results can be just a tad embarrassing.
