>> sean: unfortunately, that's all the time we have. thank you for joining us and making this show possible. set your dvr so you never miss an episode of hannity. if for news all the time every time, fox news.com, hannity.com. and in the meantime, let not your heart be troubled. laura, look what i got. you ready? there it is. there's a picture of me frying my turkey. 20 pounds. laura: wait a second, just stop. this is so long. hannity just sent me -- first of all, you just sent me a video that was supposed to be of you cooking your turkey. how do i know this is you cooking it? >> sean: i did not want you to air it. i knew you would. >> laura: i wanted to air it. this is why i'm trying to get it on the screen right now. this is the meaning of television. you have been doing this for a quarter century.

you're holding up a cell phone. >> laura: this looks like something isis would do to one of it's captives, a disgusting bubbling of blood and skin. if this is turkey, i don't know what that is. that's terrifying. >> sean: it's the greatest turkey ever, you don't even need gravy it's so good. >> laura: if you had cooked it, you would have your big mug in the video. >> sean: promise not to air it, i will send you the video. >> laura: i want to see you. >> sean: i don't want to see it on air tomorrow night. i take your word? >> laura: i got it. no photo shopping. i know how you do things on your show. you can photo shop people on a deep fake turkey. deep fryer deep fake. we'll solve this mystery tomorrow. i'm laura ingram. the china apologist, that's the

focus of tonight's angle. in time for the thanksgiving holiday, supposed to make us feel warm and fuzzy inside, biden was working his magic once again. >> easing tensions, president biden covered a range of issues in a three-hour meeting. >> it gave president xi an opportunity to talk more about his meeting with biden, which did raise hopes that there was going to be some sort of a thaw in u.s.-china relations. >> both leaders in their opening remarks expressed the need to find common ground, to find things they could work on. >> laura: common ground? now why would the white house grovel for a dialogue with xi? he's a man engage in a nonstop campaign of domestic terror against any dissenters. why would he seek to normalize relations with a brutal tyrant who hates everything we stand for. china doesn't have to invade the united states to subdue and change us.

it already has. it has enormous influence on our lives from the powerful people to the strategic acquisitions it's made, from the technology it's stolen to the deadly drugs it sent here. as long as it's run by the ccp, china is our enemy, period. not according to so many of our elites in politics, academia, entertainment, and business. many in our billionaire class spend their days making excuses for the ccp, even apologizing for the most muted western criticism, like michael bloomberg, who famously claimed that xi was not a dictator at all and that xi listens to his people. and last week bloomberg apologized to china when former uk prime minister boris johnson called the ccp a coercive auto autocracy, those are bland words if you ask me. how is it that bloomberg who sits on a u.s. government defense advisory board is defending a dictatorship against

the true words of an ally? i say this, we feel terrible for the innocent people of china. we don't blame them. look at what they're enduring, bravely protesting the horrific covid lockdowns used to manipulate the population of china. there was an explosion of rage and fury this weekend. how could we ever cooperate and compromise with this type of country? now, we shouldn't be looking for an armed conflict with china. not saying that. but we need to stop fooling ourselves that russia is more dangerous than beijing in any way, shape, or form, it is not. and we need to be realistic about the severe peril that we'll face as long as xi is in charge.

he doesn't distinguish between red and blue states. he has utter contempt for all americans in his ultimate goal is world domination. of course, china's apologists and enablers, they don't give a rip. take apple, for example. this the same company whose ceo was quick to emprice the whole systemic racism narrative in 2020. >> i want to address the topic of racism, inequality, and injustice and recognize the pain being felt throughout our nation, especially in our black and brown communities after the senseless killing of george floyd. this country was founded on the principles of freedom and equality for all. for too many people and for too long, we haven't lived up to those ideals. we're inspired and moved by the passionate people around our nation and around the world who have stood up to demand change. >> hmm, why isn't tim inspired, moved, by all of the passionate people in china tonight.

because they're actually putting their lives at risk by standing up for basic human rights. but rather than standing up to this sadistic regime in china, apple is collaborating with it, by working with china's secret police to clamp down on disseptember in the ongoing covid protest. they're doing it by agreeing to block the use of the file sharing feature. like all of the big tech ceos, cook has no qualms of making billions off of the oppression of others. half of the world's i phones are now made in china. now,e loon musk, he's no better, sadly -- sad to report that. he has a big manufacturing facility for tesla there. but we're going to see how happy elon is when china begins exporting more of his own evs than tesla does. now the fact is, like so many lies told about china by corrupt forces here, we now see that technology has not made china freer. it simply made the dictatorship

more efficient in its crackdowns. but the judges on the supreme court of globalism, they're oblivious. >> we have to define how the world should look like when we want to come out of this transformation period. i respect china's achievements which are tremendous over the last 40 years. i think it's a role model for many countries. >> laura: a role model for any countries. we know he would sell out his own mother for power and access to the chinese markets. the so-called allies in europe, they're no better. the best nato can do is call china, "a challenge," thanks. italy is cozying up to the ccp on trade now. hungary is looking to xi for cash. and after covering up the origins of the virus that killed millions across the globe, after

indirectly funding russia's war in ukraine, china is going to be rewarded with visits from the eu president in a few tays with french president macron soon after. clearly we stand alone against china on the international stage. we should have a strong response to china domestically, right? well, this is how the white house responded to the mass protests in china. and the leader of the free world is just as bad. biden's nsc spokesperson said that zero covid wasn't a policy we're pursuing here. they could if they would and it would be difficult for chie in to keep the strategy going. big deal. the biden team went from criticism that was kind of muted to something that was just plain pathetic. >> what is the president's reaction when he hears protesters in china chant, freedom or president xi step down.

>> the president not going to speak for protesters around the world. they're speaking for themselves. >> so no reaction. >> these protesters are speaking for themselves. compare that response with biden's reaction to other protests. >> a wakeup call to our nation. >> we won't let those who see this as an opportunity to sew chaos, throw up a spokesscreen, to distract us in a very real and legitimate grievances at the heart of these protests. we can't leave this moment thinking that we can once again turn away and do nothing. floyd protests. do the protesters in china have legitimate grievances. xi is one of the most vicious dictators. he'll go down as one of the most destructive people in the history of the world. if you had a chance to stand up to him and you didn't take it because you thought you could

get more nba merchandise on the shelf or do more ipos over there, that's shameful. or if you're a lawyer or a lobbyist or you work for these people because you want to pay your mortgage that way or just your vacations, it's just as bad -- blood money, all of it. as long as xi leaves china, it will remain the single greatest threat to our freedom and stability. we have to do everything in our power right now to decouple, to bring home u.s. manufacturing and stop funding the military buildup. by the way, also the dangerous medical research which still goes on. we don't want another american killed by chinese drugs. we don't want another american worker to lose his job or his company to unfair chinese trade practices. we don't want one more american student to lose his or her slot at one of our universities. this must end. there can be no equivocation or apologizing as we defend our freedom, our independence, and our way of life. and that's "the angle." joining

me now, kelly ann conway, former senior counselor to prvesident trump, and alridge colby, former deputy assistant secretary of defense, author of "the strategy of denial." your reaction to the white house's response to these protests? >> it's kind of remarkable. i think you pit it right. how could you not sympathize and say what the chinese people are standing up for? china spends more on the liberation army, the military. they used mass violence to crack down on tiananmen. people standing up and protesting for their freedom at great personal cost. what kind of signal does that send. that's pathetic. for an administration that's a political movement that is all about sort of moralistic preening, not to be able to do the basics here, i think it's

disqualifying morally. why should we listen about anything at all if they're not willing to do the most basic thing. you appoint the group that they represent. >> we were told then that we had to fund the war in ukraine to send a message to china. because otherwise china would think we weren't serious. china is funding the war in ukraine by buying their agriculture and their oil. and now it's deaf/mutes over at the white house. they're not going to say anything? >> one of the things we need to understand about america's relationship with china is that there was a whole fiction sold to us at the end of the 1990s. that we could basically have this ideal world where china would be coming to the community of nations, we could enjoy all of the cheap goods that would come out of it. but what we learned is what we imported along with those cheap goods was chinese values. chinese values that have invaded our lives, that are invading the

lives of american teen agers via tiktok, our american priorities, they're rewarding responses even like this from the white house, the question is -- thank bill wegman, appreciate him asking that. the fact is when the white house can't just stand up and say, what these protesters are doing is good and right and we support them, that's the most basic answer in the world that you ought to be giving in that moment. and the fact that they can't shows our politicians are warped. they are warped by the priorities of beijing. laura: we're owned by china. how can you conclude anything at this point, kelly ann. >> it would have been hard, but 2 1/2 years, almost 3 after the virus after we have all seen as a world what they do to the we goers, fentanyl is killing 18 to 35-year-olds here coming from there by in large. after that, we wonder whether or

not from the white house briefing room, this country, our president, that white house should stand with the freedom fighters. we may be witnessing right now a crack in the veneer in china. because whereas a lot of corporate elitists and hollywood types and some of the senators and congressmen won't stand up to xi, it may be the people who who actually break some of that veneer. and i say that because we've seen this in sri lanka, france, germany, belgium, all of the covid protests and lockdown protests. we see the chinese people coming out. and china is a place where they have half a billion surveillance cameras. yet we are the ones able to see that. so, xi is not beholden to a free press. but we are seeing what's happening. sometimes you just can't put that genie back in the bottle once the people take to the streets. >> i want to play something from senator schumer today. watch. >> if american business wants their federal government to buy

their products and services, they shouldn't be using the kind of chinese-made chips, that because of chinese government involvement put our national security at risk. we need our government and our economy to rely on chips made right here in america. >> i mean, how is this ever a question? i'm glad he's saying that. but that's just a -- that's just the least we can do. >> chips we should all agree about. chips, pharmaceuticals, the modern economy. they're critical for military. of. >> steel -- >> why aren't we doing more of this? this is a clear national security case. we could argue about the free marketology where ben was talking about 30 years ago there was going to be a borderless world, that's not there. and people like senator cotton, hawley, others, senator rubio are all pointing an it this point that we can't sort of pretend that we're going to outcompete when we're dealing with an economy that's growing larger than we are and cheating en masse. chips are just the beginning. but at the same time, laura, we have to be realistic.

and you are, about what we're dealing with here. it's extremely, you know, exhilarating and just sort of removing to see what's happening in china. but let's not be deceived that the chinese communist party. >> laura: they're going to crush him. >> this guy has made a study about mikhail goshing chef. he's not going to go down that way. he's going to fight. he's prepared to do it. i was looking at some of the instances from the civil war, the culture revolution, at one point in the civil war, the chinese besieged one of the nationalist outlets. they let soldiers out but starved the civilians inside. that was in the leadership until recently. >> laura: we have extremely powerful sources in our country who have become very rich and powerful, whether they're in politics and they leave politics to become rich in their relationship with china. we know who they are. we have a president who stood up

to china in donald trump. they can't let someone like that become president of the united states. >> i think -- i frankly think what happened there is they were scared in a lot of ways about the possibility of having any president who would stand up to them. you cited the example of apple. apple in particular is a defining element of this. the fact they would engage in this protocol with the air drop technology. that would undermind the protesters in this particular moment. we see they are also pushing against twitter and also according to elon musk, trolling the idea of taking it off of the app store and the like, this is a company exercising it's power. you have to say, are you interested in being an american company or being a company the benefits entirely with your relationship from ccp. >> do you think we're in a turning point in our country on this issue in a bipartisan fashion.

>> i do. i think this is one of the areas that republicans and democrats do tend to agree and find bipartisanship. you see some of this today. and you hear about the donald trump presidency and some of those historians have not been born by the way yet, they will talk about containing china. technology transfers, trade deals, the aforementioned human rights. they will write that any american president should be containing china. i think there's bipartisanship there. there needs to be. >> he deserves an enormous amount of credit for that. kelly ann, ben, great to see all of you. >> dr. fauci colluded with big tech to squash the covid misinformation out there. the ag who led that charge, missouri's eric schmitt is out there next going to give us details on what went on inside that room stay with us.

was forced to testify under oath about the role he had in what he deemed to sensor covid disinformation. that was part of an investigation launched by missouri and louisiana attorneys

general, eric schmitt and jeff landry. many damning takeaways from the seven-hour-long session including the bombshell that fauci knew that masks were ineffective yet still pushed them day in and day out. that detail is of great interest given we highlighted venerated doctors who said this very thing throughout much of 2020. >> masks don't work for influencers like social distance. it doesn't work. this is settled science. those in the media and the public who want to cling to those illusions are fooling themselves. and they're hurting society. >> he's missouri's senator elect. we're excited about that. the official transcript of the

d depo. what can you tell us about the experience. >> the guy he was the science in that, his middle name was "i don't recall," we got a lot of that. we got a lot of that able to extract important information. first, the lab leak -- he was well aware that this is a credible theory, much more credible than what he landed on. they immediately went. i think they knew he was exposed. his agency was funding gain of function research in wuhan went to discredit that and went to label anybody who came out with that weeks later as a conspiracy theorist. as far as a response, fauci sends along with the world health organization dr. tulane to go there, they witnessed extreme measures, the lockdowns that china was imposing and they praised it. fauci was onboard with that. who knows we might have ended up

with more extreme measures. he was onboard with that. and we're onboard with that in his depositions. a friend emails him in february of 2020 asking him if she should wear a mask on a plane and he says basically masks are ineffective. later on march 31, more studies to confirm that. later on april 3, he does an about-face saying masks are completely necessary. mandates follow. lives are ruined. covid tyranny is born. what's clear from this depo, laura, is when fauci speaks, big tech sensors. that's what this lawsuit is all about. >> today on cnn, fauci was asked about the lab leak theory. this is what he said. >> it's possible there's a lab leak. but if you look at the viruses that the nih funded to study bat viruses in a surveillance way to see what's out there, it would

be essentially molecularly impossible for those viruses to turn into sars covi2. i can't tell you what's going on in china and other things. >> oh, there couldn't have been any passaging done of the virus at all. i mean, i talked to people really, really smart. frankly, we're so far ahead of the curve it's not even funny on these issues. and they basically say that anthony fauci is lying. they're just saying flat out, he's lying. your reaction there? >> yeah, look. yeah, the lab leak theory is completely plausible. it's way more likely. then the animal reservoir theory that they landed on. and what's interesting is, he saw a different draft of a report in a medical journal that was being sent to him in realtime, that got more and more critical of the lab leak theory. he's in a press conference in march and all of a sudden proclaims this couldn't have been from a lab leak and

surprises everybody because that's where most scientists at the time thought was happening considering the research that's being done in wuhan by the way in a lab that didn't have the proper security protocols that was funded by his agency. that's why it's so dismissive. give you one other tidbit, laura, that's so revealing here. in this deposition, the seven-hour deposition after lunch, the court reporter sneezed and said she had, you know, allergies, when he asked her questions. he wanted her to wear a mask, okay? so, here's the thing -- this is november -- this is november, 2022 -- >> laura: what a fraud. >> this is the mentality of the guy who was in charge essentially now of destroying our economy, livelihood and lives, forcing the masking of our school kids. this is his mentality. so, i think this was always about -- laura, you talked about it, i talked about it. this was always about power and control. it's never about the science. he's willing to sort of make it

up as he goes along and they have candles dedicated to him. everything is being exposed why this lawsuit is so important. >> well, he is always jealous of the lockdowns in europe and in china, clearly. if he could wave his magic wand, would it all be locked down ordering uber eats? mr. attorney general, thank you for filing this lawsuit. we appreciate it. and tonight we're seeing what happens when power hungry and misguided bureaucrats like fauci are able to wield so much power. now, in an effort to comply with the eu's climate rules, the netherlands is set to buy up the government of netherlands set to buy up and close up 3,000 farms. in an attempt to cut down on nitrogen pollution. here now is victor davis hanson, senior fellow of the hoover institution. victor, letting the enviro freaks dictate our food supply, i mean, people are worried about whether the plan is ultimately

to starve people if this is what they're doing, up to 3,000 farms closed? >> they took ahold and hijacked the sri lankan government the last three years and put the green agenda down the throats of sri lanka and 22 million people got close to starvation when they used the green agriculture mandates. these people, in our tech any logical sophisticated modern technology society, these people don't farm, 99% don't, they don't know anything about fracking or mining or timber, they don't want to know. if you turn out lot of people through this educational system that are ignorant and arrogant at the same time, you have an administrative state that are unaccountable when they get to regulatory positions, then you get theoretical ideas of things that they know nothing about. you're right they're dangerous. because the secret of america, maybe the west, is we always had

affordable food, transportation, and energy, you start tampering that, we're going to go back to a precivilizational level. we're seeing it with the supply chain disruptions, price spikes, people can't afford meat or gas. they're a dangerous people. it reminds me of orwell. the two elements of 19 4 were electronic surveillance and no nation state or no small countries. oceana, asia, east aya, you see klaus schwab and you see these administrative people that want these globalized conglomerates. they have the technology. the left seems to have a monopoly, they know the most about it, it's orwellian what they're trying to do. it's frightening. >> laura: at least we have what "the washington post" is pushing in a new diet regimen -- salted ants, ground crickets, why you should try edible insects, they write. farmed insects produce far less greenhouse gas and require much

less land and water than conventional livestock. if you can eat roaches, new york will have enough food forever. >> 20 years ago when i was farming full time, they said you don't want to use calcium nitrate or i podium sulfate -- you have to use more manure. people use manure, it's heating up the planet. that i don't know what they're talking about. except they don't like these people that produce and are muscular. they have contempt for them. and they better be careful. this whole nation the -- they rest on muscular people. we found that in the lockdown. >> hollywood has the worst thanksgiving in a decade. a prime minister panders big time. seeing it in seen and unseen, which is next.

the wise men who found christmas.

fox news contributor, raymond arroyo. it was a rough weekend for hollywood at the box office. >> it was the lowest box office haul since thanksgiving of 194. and leading the cineplex of shame was a disney film appropriately called "strange world", disney sold the film as the first animated movie with a gay lead who's a person of color. but for all of that interstellar inclusiveness, they even had a disabled dog, it couldn't save "strange world." over five days, it pulled in a mere $24 million. it cost them $180 million. now you know why bob is out of a job. >> laura: i don't understand why they don't just focus on making great films. great animated features or great films. everything has to be check this box and check that -- just make a great film. make a great story. that's all people want. >> it's a family audience that

is upping bry. they want content. you have to serve that audience, not your creative community or whoever else you think you're pleasing here. this is not resonating with the wider audience. disney could have made "strange world" as a live action film. when i saw this next clip, i thought, we already live in a strange world. this could be it's own horror movie. imagine children having lunch in nantucket when suddenly outside of the window, something creepy stirs. >> okay, get down. get down. >> some children taking video from a restaurant could not contain their excitement when they saw the president walking by. >> okay, we added the music, laura, for effect. but i mean, he does look like a geriatric norman bates there. who needs an elf on the shelf when you have a biden in the garden. this had better be good, uncle

joe is going to come sniff you, no joke. >> laura: cornpop is going to get you too. watch out. maybe cornpop on the shelf would be more interesting. >> well, look, you know the luiz inácio lula da silva has had challenges with the syntax over the last few years. it seems wherever he has, the spokesman contracted it karinne jeanpierre extolled the nobility of the prize formerly known as nobel. >> today president biden met with three winners of the 2022 "noble" prize, the doctor who won the "noble" prize in chemistry. dr. clauser who won the "noble" prize in physics and the doctor who won the "noble" prize in sciences. >> four times in a row. the award has been around since

1901. jean baptiste is coming -- the new orleans hometown boy, he's coming to play at the white house at the first state dinner. i hope he's not a "grain-nee" winning artist. she needs to learn the name of the pacic awards. >> at least she wasn't referring to all of the exorbitant costs of living and she couldn't have called it a "noble" price. so, thank goodness she got prize right. let's look at the positive here. >> i guess so. i'm lookinger her to get her own "em-mee" award. justin true doe had a little trouble expressing his lgbt allyship. >> i will not apologize for standing up for the lgb -- lg fwshgs -- lgbtq2 plus. >> now he's making amends

following in the pandering footsteps of leaders like pelosi and aoc, he's made his drag race debut. the people of canada must be so proud. >> do i have to kiss his ring? >> i know this is a great white north. but how do you feel about adding some brown? okay? >> you know what? we do diversity better than just about any other place in the world. >> hate to see you leave. love to watch you walk away. >> my goodness. you know, he's been facing questions, laura, over the use of emergency measures. he wasn't quite so inclusive of those people, those truckers who blocked the roadways because of the vaccine mandates. he's being questioned about that. but he seems very willing to be objectified by this show, pandering for votes. it's a tough way to go. >> laura: did you have a nice thanksgiving. >> we had a great thanksgiving.

we're here in new york with the whole family. i missed my mom and dad. it's my mom's birthday tonight, so, happy birthday, mom. >> law a: happy birthday, mr. arroyo. very, very cool. all right, raymond, good to see you. all right, this is horrific. next, her son was murdered by four thugs and the manhattan da just gave three of them sweetheart deals. that mother is here next with a message for alvin braggs. stay with us.

crime retail gangs are destroying the shopping experience now. rite-aid executives say in the last quarter, shoplifting cost the chain $5 million? and that's just in new york city. >> rite-aid recently closed a location in hell's kitchen after more than $200,000 in product was stolen over two months. >> we experience unexpected head winds this quarter from front end shrink, particularly in our new york urban stores. >> now, to combat the theft and try to keep stores open, that ceo, hay ward tongan said they're looking to put everything behind those plastic cases. and target, they're having the same issues in stores across the country blaming $400 million in extra profit losses this year in organized retail crime. >> aoc, their pals on the left, they want you to think these criminals are just shoplifting out of necessity in order to survive.

but that's bunk. >> what fuels this as an enterprise is the ease of reselling stolen merchandise on on-line marketplaces. >> well, the mayor -- he's the attorney from illinois, how about lori lightfoot and others. not just shoplifters running wild in new york city. but violent criminals. why does it keep happening? the manhattan da, alvin bragg is putting criminals' interests first. his office has downgraded 52% of felony cases to misdemeanors by a wave of the hand, compared to 39% of all of 2019. when there's serious felony charges, his office only wins a conviction 51% of the time. that's down from 68% in 2019. this doesn't even take into account by the way his sweetheart plea deals.

minimal prison terms. in 2018, doug stabbed father of three, an army vet to death. the attack was caught on camera. yet earlier this year, two received plea deals while one was convicted of a lesser charge of gang assaultment. the sergeant's mother says bragg's decision has retraumatized her and she joins us now. madeline, i'm so sorry for your loss. one of your son's attackers was out of jail just 14 months. >> mm-hmm. >> after going to jail. so, what's your message tonight to alvin bragg? >> thank you for having me. my message to alvin bragg is to -- i would like to see him one time, just once, go down to the morgue with one of the mothers of a homicide victim when she has to identify her

child's body. and see how traumatized and how heart broken and how disheartened that mother is. and then to have to fight with the criminal justice system to try to get justice for the people who killed her child. and then he turns around and treats the killer like they are the victim and the victim like they are the killer. this is what i've been experiencing for four years. it started before alvin bragg. started with cyrus vance. alvin bragg came in and completely dropped the ball on the case. completely dropped it. >> laura: madeline bragg's office, they're responding to criticism about this issue of lowered sentences saying it's false data, comparison that doesn't take into account the challenges of discovery or the impact that covid had on our

city. the fact is, we prosecuted 459 more felonies this year than last. we have three times as many gun convictions so far as in all of 2019. does that give you any relief here? or does that make you feel any better given what happened to you and your family. >> no, i know the inside story about what's happening in the manhattan criminal court. homicide cases haven't been tried since 2015. they're currently working their way forward and they're only up to 2018. this is why those charges, those murder charges or murder cases are being dismissed, to try to clear the calendar from the backlog. >> laura: are you surprised that new york ended up voting for kathy hochul given the fact that she lent her support to alvin bragg throughout this entire period of deep pain for the people of new york over this

crime problem? >> not only am i surprised, i'm very, very disappointed, very disappointed. because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. she said with her own mouth that she doesn't even acknowledge that crime is a problem. she said to lee zeldin in the debate, she doesn't understand why crime is so important to him. so, she's someone who doesn't even acknowledge that's the problems. >> laura: madeline, your strength and your passion is inspiring. and we're going to continue to pray for you and your family. thank you for joining us tonight. we really, really appreciate it. it's outrageous. when we come back, the last bite.
