great specificity and detail. a lot of states have signed on to it, not quite at the number we need yet. i'll take the b plus we can always improve. thank you for being out there john. appreciate it. god bless you >> tomorrow we're on at 11:00 after the state of the union. let not your heart be troubled. here's laura. see you back here tomorrow. ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is the ingraham angle welcome tonight and thanks for joining us in washington. shooting blanks that's the focus of tonight's angle. what does it take to get fired in this administration? >> biden administration official is no longer employed by the biden administration after allegedly getting caught stealing luggage from not one but two different airports. sam brinn ton was responsible for nuclear fuel and radioactive

waste at the department of energy. briton identifies as non-binary and gender fluid. >> laura: oh, does he? talk about holding the bar really high. you know he would still be there if they didn't have that security footage, by the way. for this administration, it's failure as far as the eye can see yet zero accountability, none. still no senior officials, no cabinet official fired. not alejandro, let 'em all in, mayorkas at dhs. not leave it to pete buttigieg at the department of transportation. not the queen of transitory inflation janet yellen at treasury. so the only logical conclusion at this point can be that america's decline is their agenda. now biden's balloon fiasco was a national embarrassment for the united states at every turn, and it reminds us that we really don't have military leaders who are looking out for us.

even when generals austin and milley blew the afghanistan withdraw which led to the deaths of 13 service members, they still kept their jobs. >> the intel assessments had two basic things, in my view, was the scale and scope, plus the speed. all the intel assessments, all of us, got that wrong. there's no question about it. that was a swing and a miss on the intel assessment. >> laura: oh. swing and a miss. forget it now. in no other professional setting would this be conceivable. but at the top levels of our defense department, they protect their own. and then they move on to the next debacle and then they demand that you support them unconditionally. >> evolved over the last 11 months. but the mission under general austin's leadership, under secretary austin's leadership has remained the same. as much as it takes for as long as it takes. >> this isn't just about ukraine's security.

it's about the world that we want our children and grandchildren to inherit. >> laura: oh, the world? well, under their lame leadership, we're creating a world where china doesn't just control all of asia, it's making games in our own hemisphere including right here in the united states. you see, china's serious about its plans for domination and control. meanwhile, biden's chair man of the joint chiefs spends inordinate amount of time promoting woke agenda within his own ranks. >> on the issue of critical race theory et cetera a lot of us have to get much smarter on what the theory is. but i do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read and the united states military academy is a university. and it is important that we train and we understand -- and i want to understand white rage and i'm white and i want to understand it. >> laura: bet he never gets so

indignant with the chinese, though. like before and after the 2020 election when he called to check in with his chinese counter part. >> did you or did you not tell him that if we were going to attack you would let him know. >> as part of that conversation, i said, general lee, there's not going to be a war. i said general lee i'll probably give you a call but we're not going to attack you. >> laura: we know that the ccp doesn't fear them or even respect them. now, let's remember that the poison of critical race theory is being taught at our military academies today. and then there was their needless and damaging vax mandates in the military. they were only recently dropped. a tacit admission much failure. and now for all the world to see the pentagon looks foolish and weak. rather than an active defender of the american interest, for days our military kind of played the role of a passive observer as china just brazenly sucked up information about our most

sensitive military installations. >> leave it up to the experts, they make the decision and we should all abide by it. let the experts in this business, defense, do their jobs. >> laura: he does realize we don't live in a military dictatorship, right? i don't know. well, top military brass, of course, argued that we should do nothing to stop the balloon. >> it was my assessment that this balloon did not present a physical military threat to north america. this is under my norad hat. and, therefore, i could not take immediate action because it was not demonstrating hostile act or hostile intent. >> laura: but like maverick in top gun, biden says he always wanted to shoot it down. >> once it came over to the united -- into the united states

from canada, i told the defense department i wanted to shoot it down as soon as it was appropriate. they concluded, they concluded we should not shoot it down over land, it was not a serious threat and we should wait until it got across the water. >> laura: what seems obvious is that the biden people had wanted to keep the entire thing secret and hoped that the balloon fiasco would literally blow over. they wanted nothing to interfere with secretary blinken's plan to beg president xi for more engagement. please, so, don't break off relations with us, we want to get closer to you. but the truth came out, didn't it? since last week the pr folks at the pentagon who appear to be the only competent people on the staff there have been engaged in a flat spin of desperation. >> we believe we mitigated as the intelligence capability of the balloon, at the same time increasing and improving our

ability to collect intelligence and information from it. >> laura: well, at least one former democrat, secretary of defense, isn't buying this. >> the white house has said that a lot of the information the chinese might have wanted were scrambled, they didn't get much of anything. do you believe that? >> if they've got a balloon that's hovering over a military air base or a missile air base, and gathering intelligence or gathering signals, you have to assume that if it was an intelligence-gathering mission, that they were gathering important information. and if we want to protect our national security, we have to make dam sure that our adversaries don't get access to that kind of information. >> laura: never thought i would quote leon panetta on the show but -- and of course the administration even claimed that three different chinese balloons flew over america on the trump administration. more on that claim with former

trump national security administration robert brian later in the show. but bottom line no moderately well informed person believes our pentagon anymore. what's the most lickly scenario? think about it for a moment. that milley and austin outsmarted the chinese? or that their pals in the ccp outsmarted them? i think we all know the answer. the truth is, this administration would not care if a thousand balloons from china spied on us. just like they don't care about the people who are being murdered in china. or the fentanyl that china is sending to poison and kill our people. or the way china crushed freedom in hong kong. or the way china is building the strongest military in the world. they don't care about how china uses tik tok to steal users data or how they infiltrate our universities or how it's buying up food companies, real estate, farm land. they certainly don't care about a balloon. they're just worried about the political fallout going into

2024. for this white house, the policy is never wrong, it's just the messaging. because it's obvious that their primary goal is to protect their relationship with china. the angle isn't going to try to persuade the biden administration anymore so this is for the hill republicans. back in 2006 listening to me on fox or on the radio, i was warning you that the public, i could hear it from my listeners were turning against the war in iraq and i'm warning you now the gop electorate and soon the democrats, they love our troops but they've had it with this pentagon. milley and austin are either incapable or unwilling of safeguarding our national interests. and eventually the voters will have their way. we pulled out of vietnam. we pulled out of iraq. we pulled out of afghanistan. and if you're a republican and you're really going to believe in the massive defense budget we have today, you better get on

the phone, you better call biden's new chief of staff and you better tell him that you will not be able to keep writing blank checks for the pentagon unless some real changes are made. no more money for woke nonsense, no more tolerating incompetence. and that's the angle. >> joining me now congressman mark green chair man of the homeland security committee and member of house foreign affairs committee. congressman, do you believe the administration when they say that the chinese didn't glean any intel, usable intel from that balloon? >> absolutely not, laura. if they can control its elevation in its path, which we know for a fact they did, that thing changed elevation several times they had to be able to be getting information back. there's no way. >> laura: did you ever think you would see a time where the united states of america, with the money that we have put in to our national intense, was just a laughing stock? i'm sorry, a laughing stock in the world watching this thing

take place. a lot of people on tv today were kind of downplaying it, oh, well, this is a big nothing burger, if i heard that phrase one more time i'm going to throw up. but what does this say to the chinese that we were just passive observers until, you know, biden decided there was political fallout and they had to take it down. >> sure. this was an invasion of the united states sovereign territory, our space, by a chinese spy balloon. the general officers who advised that thing not be shot down should be fired. that's step one to future competing with china. fire whoever advised him. >> laura: that's milley and austin isn't it not. >> whoevers >> laura: isn't up to you guys to find out who made that call same thing with afghanistan congressman. >> absolutely. >> laura: we're back a year and a half later and yet another embarrassment for the country. >> i know for a fact the house foreign affairs committee is planning on the withdraw, they're going to dig into that and we're going to dig into house -- house armed services will dig into who made this

decision, they have to find it. >> laura: we have to stop funding it. the only thing they understand is power and money. and if they keep getting these giant increases in the defense budget, well, where are they going to change? they're not going to change. >> clearly the inefficiencies, there's a ton of things to change over there no doubt about it but number one we have to find out who made these bad decisions. weed need lawyers over there. our military -- their job is to deter war and when it happens kill people and break things. not train people on this woke stuff that is tying up our time. we've got ships colliding in the sea and a 3-star admiral made a report it that it was because there wasn't time to train on what they really need to train on. instead they're out there worrying about this woke stuff that's being taught, not only at the academies but throughout the force. >> laura: how much time are they spending on that? he said they have to train at west point on white rage, that's what he said in that congressional testimony. >> i'm not sure he was read in on what was happening at the

academy at the time. >> laura: to add insult to injury by the way, some are concerned that the technology that might be gleaned from this balloon might have an interesting origin. watch. >> it does worry me about the chinese, just how capable they are of collecting intelligence in this country. there are all sorts of things we don't know what that balloon was carrying, what kind of cameras, whether it had communications equipment or even sensors. we used to drop sensors on china to monitor their nuclear weapons. are they doing the same thing at our bases. what scares me when they get the stuff out of the ocean it's going to turn out to be american technology which is a good chance it will be. >> well, there's very much a chance. we have a lot of businesses in this country who has the purpose of stopping that technology transfer to china, needs more power, needs to do their job better. absolutely it's a possibility. too many businesses putting profit over national security and it's got to stop. >> laura: chances one to ten ten being the most likely u.s.

technology being found in that balloon, what are you going to say. >> that's a tough question. you're putting me on spot. i would say 5. >> laura: that's not good. >> thank you laura. >> laura: great to see you in studio. as the angle mentioned the biden administration's defense of this fiasco with the balloon has been this happens all the time. but even the normally plyant press corps doesn't seem to be buying it. >> how is it possible that this administration discovered at least three previous balloons that flew over the u.s. under the previous administration but trump officials didn't know it was happening? >> what i can say is that we learned of this, the three prior, during the past administration, and so we are willing to share that information. but, again, just not going to get into intelligence from here. >> laura: just one problem. there's no evidence of it. and every trump administration official, even those that don't even like trump that much, like john bolton, said it didn't happen. joining me now is one of those

men refuting this talking point robert o'brien former national security advisor to president trump. robert good to see you tonight. is there any chance that this happened and you all weren't told? >> no, i think that's highly unlikely, laura. i mean, we'll have to see what comes out. the good news is, as aggressive as the ccp is and, the communist chinese party we're down to three mike's we have gallagher rodgers and mccauley the chair man of the house armed services committee. they're going to get to the bottom of this but we were never made aware of this and the idea this could have happened without us knowing is not very plausible. we'll have to see what comes out but certainly it's an odd claim. >> laura: robert, this just broke moments ago. cnn reporting that in april 2022 air force intel report titled people's republic of china high altitude of china blown

circumstanceled the glop at about 65,000 feet and drifted past hawaii and across florida before continuing its journey. now, does this ring any bells? >> no, we were never made aware of that flight and we should have been. if there was something that went over hawaii, it is it's important military base or over florida, that should have been a call that woke me up at 2:00 in the morning, laura, that there's a chinese aircraft over american territory. we should have heard about that if it occurred. >> laura: robert, doesn't this beg the question of what the heck is going on at the pentagon? i mean, we have no accountability. we haven't won a war outright since world war ii. we spent trillions of dollars of the taxpayers money, we love our troops, incredible people. they are being ill served and apparently administrations aren't being tolled, if this is true, about something like this? what does this lead people to believe about what we want with

china here? >> it's a problem. the big problem is the message it sends to china and the rest of the world. put domestic politics aside and, you know, what's happening between the administrations. we've got island nations like vanatu and solomon islands, islands our grand fathers fought to liberate that are now going with china and aren't allowing our ships to dock in their port and they're watching this and the chinese are using this as a propaganda tool around the world saying we can fly a balloon over the u.s. and they can't do anything about it. they're not going to help you you better side with us while the getting's good. that's one. number two it encourages the chinese to be more assertive and aggressive to push the boundaries. we have to take a tough stand now. >> laura: doesn't this send a really ominous message to the taiwanees given that comment that came very recently from i believe the air force general about how likely a potential conflict is between china and

taiwan? i mean, you can't be feeling too positive if you're, you know, you're a taiwanees tonight. >> no. listen, the general of the air mobility command, i command him. there are still some warriors at the pentagon laura, i don't want to broad bush. you have general burger and the marine corps taking the fight to the chinese with his combat regimens, general min happen who said this can happen. my air men and women should be ready to fight tomorrow. but i hope it's a wake-up call for the american people. putting the pentagon aside, we have a hundred million or more tik tok users. that's a balloon in every house. tik tok's listening to everything said in your house scooping up your data and passwords. we have chinese institutes at universities all over the country and they still get federal funding. we have the chinese buying up farm land. put aside the balloon that could be shot down and was transitory we have them buying thousands of acres of farm land next to key

military bases like lock land in texas or grand forks north dakota. can you imagine a chinese letting us fly a balloon over the country. >> laura: never. >> letting us put twitter in their country, letting us buy farm land around their air force bases? this is happening across the board, it's abserd. maybe we get tik tok band and take a strong stand against the chinese now before it's too late. >> laura: is it not time to start decoupling from china? every -- >> 100%. >> laura: long since time. >> 100%. >> laura: robert o'brien. >> absolutely. >> laura: it's great to see you. could back soon. we haven't seen you in a long time good to have you on >> a special programming night don't forget tune into this show tomorrow night, stay up, okay? it's only midnight eastern. catch our reeks to biden's state of the union address it's going to be a lots of fun.

speaking of his new prime time address a new poll shows how weak he is. plus one of the most brutal ars we ever read about kamala. stephen miller is going to join me on set next.

♪ >> we have come through this recovery, recovering people's economic security historically fast and historically equitable. >> i think he has a record, over the last two years, that shows that he has delivered. >> it is never a good bet to bet against joe biden and this team. never, ever a good bet. >> laura: poor crying turon very sad what's happening to the american public. america doesn't feel the same two short years, in less than 24 hours president biden will deliver the state of the union to a country that he says, well, better off. according to a newark ton post abc poll however 62% of americans think biden has accomplished not very much or little or nothing. and this reality is shocking to the thunder heads in the media. now watch chuck todd who's very alarmed that you idiotic americans don't understand how great biden is. >> the president's state of the union. look, he's got a lot of things

to tackle. why do you think that it has not penetrated the american public? >> these things don't sell themselves and it's one of the reasons i'm really looking forward to that state of the union address. i will say that there have been so many accomplishments under this administration. it can be difficult to list them in a dis tilled way. >> laura: things are so great leave it to peter can't name a single success. joining us is congressman donald and stephen miller america first legal founder. congressman, the state of the union addresses tend to be very over-hyped and so forth. sheila jackson lee who's always standing on the edge of the seat trying to get the firsthand shake. certain things we look for. how on earth could anyone think at this point america is better off than america was let's say 20 under trump or 2019 under trump. >> i have no possible idea why anyone would think that. prices are up all across the

country. he spent $5 trillion we didn't need to. you already talked about the balloon in our air space. we see what's happening in the middle east. energy prices have gone through the roof. nothing is working well except if you're a radical democrat who like these comma choking policieses and we haven't even gotten to the border yet. >> laura: their policy, steven, is decline. they really think americans have lived too high on the hog for too long disputed too much families that are too big drive too big of cars bunch of polluters, red what and blue. they don't like it. not under reagan, happy birthday president reagan and they didn't like it umped returned. >> and that's why er this' weak under china because they think america ought to be displaced and replaced as the world leader as the great super power and our quality of life here in america is declining so of course americans will saying in this poll biden's done nothing for us. a shocking statistic for you laura. if you combine the $6,000 of

real wage declines with inflation with the $1,400 increase in borrowing costs of rising interest rates the average family is $7,400 poorer. >> laura: congressman donald the left really despisess the middle class. i mean, they want -- super rich, poor who are dependent in the government. the middle class is dangerous because then they start saying, no, i love my independence and being able to start a business. get out of my face. they don't like that. they didn't like it under trump. >> you're right because you're in a burgeoning middle class you're growing building a family and a business on your own. you don't need big government, somebody to create some program for you. you don't need to lean on some large institution which frankly is living under some of the security of the radical democrats because they love too big to fail. that's where they actually get a lot of their power, a lot of strayer stroke. what we want is a free flowing america, free capitol free people so everybody can be harm knifed organized in society for themselves without government

having to put their thumb on a scale to favor the very, very rich or to provide all these different needs for the very, very poor. >> laura: now, gentlemen, i want to read part of what i thought was a devastating piece about kamala harris in the new york times. in private conversations dozens of democrats in the white house, capitol hill and around the nation, said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party, much less the country. even democrats, whom her own advisors referred reporters to for supportive quotes confided privately that they had lost hope in her. stephen, what's going on? these are brutal leaks against poor old kamala. she's so talented. >> i think they wanted, number one, they want to ditch her for the next election if it's all possible but at the very least also an insurance policy for joe biden. the more they're tearing her down, the more the biden crew can keep him as the nominee for the next election, which the people who are close to him want. i think, though, honestly, the real interesting story is, who is writing these speeches for

her they keep punking her by making her sound like she's five years old when speaking and prideing on endlessly about school buses and how yellow they are. >> laura: she doesn't know anything though. what are her qualifications. >> you think they would plug in a normal american sounding speech one time. she sounds like, when she is talking like she is in kindergarten. it is a ston i shalling. >> laura: i like space, i like space ships. the, wa ton post abc news poll also has trump ahead of biden in a hypothetical 2024 match-up. congressman this runs counter to the media's assertion that trump is done. the media keeps sticking a fork in trump but in this poll at least he's up. >> oh, he's not done. look, americans remember what the country was like in 2017, in 2018, in 2019. the one thing covid has really done, it's clarified a lot of things because you had a gap in time between what joe biden's reckless policies are and the time of donald trump. i think people are also past the whole mean tweet thing. i would rather have a commander

in chief who just gets the job done. i don't have to agree with everything you say, just do the job. and i think more americans are clamoring for that. more and more as the time goes by. it looks bad for joe biden. >> if milley and austin told trump no we're going to wait until the balloon's across the united states and we shoot it down owner north carolina what do you think trump would have done. >> he would have told him to shut up get out of the office and shoot it out of the sky and people would have paid for tickets for that meeting. >> laura: get out have my face. all right gentlemen thank you >> now the cultural lessons of the grammys, oh, no, raymond watched so you don't have to. plus why did the first lady show up? plus biden is rehearsing for the state of the union. raymond arroyo has it all. seen and unseen is next. en dentt my dentures were ready, i was so excited. i love the confidence. i love that i can blast this beautiful smile and make the world smile with me. i would totally say aspen dental changed my life.

aspen dental makes new smiles affordable. right now, get 20% off dentures. we do anything to make you smile.

>> laura: it's time for our seen and unseen segment we examine the culture stories of the day and for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo who joins me here in dc. >> here he is.

>> laura: raymond good to see you in studio. >> great to see you. >> laura: now, it was grammy night i tried to ignore it tell me what i need to know. >> a rebomb from previous years from all-time low rating, still down five million from 2020. >> laura: wow. >> they tried to trot the stars out, the big winner harry styles looked like freddie mercury at a circus. if you ever wondered what 1-800 flowers does with their returns, lizzo showed us, she looked like ftd's discard pile. >> laura: i thought it was a tribute to grimace. i always adored shania twain what was she wearing. >> i think she was wearing part of the deville line, maybe chick-fil-a is sponsoring her tour. i don't know what that ensum bee a is but i look i can when the

stars get topical. sam smith came as the red china spy balloon surrounded by covid vary gents i thought this was creative on the red carpet. >> laura: all their own spike proteins. >> the truth is the grammy presenters throughout the evening were as scary as the performances themselves. the face formally known asthma donna made an appearance. >> if they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative or dangerous, you are definitely on to something. that's where you make noise. yeah, thank you. >> laura: that's when you take prevogen. >> jeb bosch approach. >> laura: sam smith who performed such a cliche song unholy. >> yeah, you know, and what

followed that number. >> laura: shocking. >> what followed the number was almost as grotesque as the thing itself. watch this. ♪ push >> grammy awards is sponsored by pfizer. >> you can't make that up. we did not edit that. it literally said right after that performance sponsored by pfizer. from the people that brought you myocarditis, the devil, ladies and gentlemen. >> laura: who came up with that idea? >> this guy, it's the mark of a desperate entertainer when they have to go back to the well of satanism to get attention. he's like a plus sized marilyn man son at this point. give it a rest. >> laura: i have to tell you something ozzy osbourne did it better. if this is your thing ozzy rocked it back in the 70s. >> when the culture is this depraved this loses its ability to shock. jill biden made a surprise

appearance at the grammys as a presenter. at first i thought she might be announcing best audio performance of a classified document. but she did have that big crossover latin hit, you remember that, don't you? oh, yeah. >> say it with me, the future is ours. ♪ >> that was a great song. that was a great one. the clubs are all playing it. >> laura: el doctor, jill. she got kind of a limp reception there. >> yeah, she did. >> thank you. the first winner of the recording academy's best song for social change, an iranian singer song writer for his stirring song.

>> well, she slaughtered spanish let's go slaughter another language. why do they keep putting the first lady in this position where she's having to put foreign words and foreign languages in her mouth. it's obviously uncomfortable. >> laura: well, raymond, i must have missed it when they invited melania to come present an award. >> right, only michelle obama appeared at the grammys. >> laura: first of all melania would have looked gorgeous. jill biden looked pretty i thought that. >> we will be back with you tomorrow night to cover the state of the union but the president is hard at work prepping. he tweeted this he's hard at work. note the milk and cookies. >> laura: where? >> you will a see it. if you stop saying, no joke we'll bring out the oreos. >> laura: god's honest truth i'm working hard with my red pen. >> mr. president that's blue. >> oh oh, it is blue. so tomorrow night. >> tomorrow night midnight. >> laura: bring the coffee or

the margaritas. great to see you >> up next mayor pete's incompetence as transportation secretary isn't make travel more hectic he's now putting your life at risk. the latest close call. plus a canadian pastor who defied the covid mandates and supportedd the trucker protests is now being targeted in court by his own government. why this free speech case could have ramifications here. next.

♪ >> laura: we have spent much of this show tonight exposing the lack of accountability and just the lack of basic common sense inside biden administration's and it's not just about the chinese spy balloon, or his border or an economy that's gutting the middle class. it extends to things as basic as travel. >> we have the safest aviation system in the world but i do think there are alarm bells going off within the faa. our customers are starting to feel the strain. our pilots have been under strain. the highest fatigue rates we've seen in years. >> laura: and we're seeing that fatigue manifest itself in increasingly dangerous ways. now less than a month ago, an faa computer outage grounded fleets nationwide you remember that for the first time since

september 11th. now transportation secretary pete buttigieg's response? quote, this is an incredibly complexion system. was anyone held accountable? again i'm asking this question. did he apologize? of course notment but that's the administration for you. now, days later on january 13th, two planes at new york's jfk airport nearly collided on the runway, and five days after that, a jet blue flight at the same airport bumped a parked plane while it was taxiing. now on friday two planes at newark liberty airport new york clipped wings as one was trying to park at the next gate snapping off the tip from one of the plane's wings. which brings us to this weekend. in austin texas where a southwest airlines plane tried to take off while a fed-ex cargo plane was landing in the same spot. >> as you can see fed-ex 1432 is

overtaking southwest 708 southwest started its take off while if he had is has started to land unfortunately they're on top of each other by only a few hundred feet. >> laura: luckily mayor pete was on the sunday shows yesterday to clear everything up. >> he is an absolutely historically successful president. this president has exceeded expectations again and again politically and functionally. >> laura: exceeded expectations. now it would be funny if it weren't so dangerous. entrusting someone as inexperienced and as clueless as leave it to pete isn't just upending travel plans, sooner or later it's going to result in americans being harmed. but he's a first, so no one bats an eye. >> and now, do you ever wonder what the left would do here in the united states if we didn't have a constitution? if we had no first amendment? now as it is during covid in 2020, they used their corporate censors to block opposing viewpoints. yeah, if they had their

druthers, they would like our country run like kind of a college campus where inconvenient views are prohibited by arbitrary speech codes and then enforced with struck punishment. now the left already has a national blueprint in canada. consider the case of pastor artur pawlowski. you've seen him on the angle before. he's been the bane of the existence for covid control freaks since it first began. repeatedly he was jailed just for holding church services. well last week his final trial began. pawlowski is charged with mischief over $5,000 stemming from a speech he gave exactly one year ago encouraging truckers to continue their blockade at the u.s. canada border over those covid vaccine mandates. he faces 10 years in prison if convicted. >> right here on you guys, you are the heroes of this

solidarity movement. don't you dare break the line. >> laura: joining me now is pastor artur pawlowski from the congregation in calgary. pastor good to see you tonight. now the prosecutor says you went there to fire up the crowd, and then claimed it was akin to yelling fire in a movie theater, so it was dangerous. your reaction to that? >> well, first of all, if there is a fire in a movie theater, you bet, you better yell fire because if you don't people are going to die. right now we have never seen something like this before in our beloved canada. this was truly a trial of the century, freedom of expression, freedom of religion. i went over there. i wad asked by the truckers and farmers to deliver a church service, we had the holy communion we were singing hymns together and i told them stand up for your rights. i was wearing a hoodie with solidarity on it. the prosecutor said because i had that hoodie i was inciting

people. he compared me to someone that was insiding murder. he compared me to rwanda genocide. this nation has gone crazy. we are truly living behind the iron curtain in china right now and this person running is is burying us alive. so if i would lose canadiens effectively would not have freedom of expression and freedom of religion. the judge reserved his decision for the middle of march and i'm facing not just mischief of 5,000 i'm the first and only canadian ever to be charged with something like terrorism, interfering with crucial infrastructure under the defense act. i went there to deliver a church sermon. i did that. i was not blocking anything. >> laura: so you were the threat. >> that's right, exactly. >> laura: they considered you a threat because you defied with logic, i think, and common

sense, what they were saying, history will -- i mean, we don't need history we already know you were right about it all. pastor a three-year pilot program, as all of your stuff is happening, just began in british columbia to stop prosecuting people for carrying small amounts of heroin, meth, ecstasy or crack cocaine as part of this effort to fight off what they say is the drug overdose crisis. pastor the canadian government punished a church basically church attendance during covid but now we're legalizing heroin and other drugs? that's a smart decision? >> of course, everything is upside down. but that's what you get when you have communism, fascism and socialism, hybrid combined together. and don't kid yourself, we are being attacked left and right. freedom of religion has to go first. because one of the gods of

today, they don't like competition. so a person like me that would say to 'em this, hey, there is a living god, be wear, he's coming to judge the living and the dead has become a trend to them and they are making me an example out of all the people they have chosen a pastor to fight with. i think they're going to have an experience that's the red sea experience. >> laura: pastor thank you so much and good luck to you >> now a big update we brought you last week, the story of what was happening at the dallas zoo with all these animals disappearing. stay there.
