7:00 pm
state, the michigan state newspaper are correct, that shooter is moving around campus and continuing to fire on anyone he finds. sean? >> sean: and thank you. the police just tweeted suspect description is a short male with a mask, possibly african-american, shelter in place. we'll have more throughout the evening on fox. let not your heart be troubled. laura's next. thank you for being with us. ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. this is a fox news alert. run, hide and fight. that was the message received by students and staff at michigan state university tonight after shots were fired on campus. and moments ago, police put out an alert of another shooting on campus with multiple injuries. the detroit news is reporting there is one dead. now, they believe there is only ect whn foot. we're going to bring
7:01 pm
tonight's angle. what on earth and above earth is happening? two weeks ago we allowed a chinese military spy balloon to traverse the united states including over sensitive military installations before slow-mo joe supposedly gave the nod to shoot it down over the atlantic. but this past weekend, it was a pentagon with a new approach. it felt like we were all living in a youtube balloon challenge. [shots fired] >> laura: over the yukon, over the arctic, over canada, there were objects floating, octagonal object, a slippedical object flying, blowing. and in these cases the biden pentagon, they moved fast. why the change of tactics? were they worried about balloon
7:02 pm
bring? or political fallout? well, if you want clarity, you probably ought not to be the listening to this man. >> i want to be clear, the three objects taken down this weekend are very different from what we were talking about last week. we knew exactly what that was. a prc surveillance balloon. and as we have said we do not assess that the recent objects pose any direct threats to the people on the ground and we will continue to focus on confirming their nature and purpose. >> laura: translation: they have no idea what they shot down. but we do know that all weekend long, the american military has been having close encounters with unidentified objects. now, obviously our military photographed them but we, the public, we pay the bill, but we've seen no video or photos of these objects. this naturally sends creative
7:03 pm
minds conjuring. code two. time check, 3:45. >> laura: now, at this point after years of dissem bling over russian collusion lying for the covid dictates, dismiss inflation as transitory, and claiming the board was secure and failing to exit afghanistan without tragedy, so on the question of these unidentified aerial phenomenon, you can't blame people for wondering and doubting the official white house line. >> there is no, again, no indication of aliens or
7:04 pm
extraterrestrial activity with these take downs. i loved et the movie but i'm just going to leave it there. >> laura: cute. but why did a norad commander refuse to rule it out? we already know these people are incompetent and untrustworthy and the angle can't imagine why anyone would ever doubt, though, the government's word on uaps or ufors, why would they? i'll tell you why, because this video was released and discussed last may at the first congressional hearing on ufos in 50 years. voice described theie america's approach as curious. they've also the possibility of unidentified flying objects even after decades of sightedings including by us military pilots who sometimes filmed the ufos some of which moved with lightning speed and incredible agility. so what are they hiding and why? >> given the nature of our
7:05 pm
business national defense, we've had to sometimes be less forthcoming with information in open forums than many would hope. we do not want potential adversaries to know exactly what we're able to see or understand or how we come to the conclusions we make. >> laura: is it that or is it the government hiding the truth? well, good people of sound judgment are asking these questions. maybe these objects are all developed by china or perhaps russia to test our responses and capabilities. and, if so, you have to ask, are our adversaries impressed by this guy? >> we have not yet been able to definitively assess what these most recent objects are. and while we have no specific reason to suspects that they were conducting surveillance of any kind, we couldn't rule that out. >> laura: is there anything at this point they can rule in? i have to ask, are they devious or are they just dumb? >> why is the american military shooting something out of the
7:06 pm
sky over canada? >> because it's part of norad. norad is part of like a -- part of a -- it's a, it's a what you call a coalition. we didn't do it on our own, we did it clearly in step with canadia. >> laura: well at least she got the norad part right. at one point today we ended up here. if aup floats above us and no one sees it, did the uap really float at all? >> one of the reasons that we think we're seeing more is because we're looking for more. they have modified the filters in the games, as we call it. if you set the parameters in such a way to look for a certain something, it's more likely that you're going to find a certain something. >> laura: now, i'm watching this guy today and i'm thinking to myself, i wouldn't hire him to run a leaf blower. how embarrassing for the united
7:07 pm
states. no wonder china doesn't even return their calls. why should they? the biden administration, is far more comfortable criticizing trump voters, certainly criticizing trump voters harshly than they are the ccp. >> the china balloon did that have any -- was it emitting signals back? >> i'm not going to go into more details about the capabilities of that. >> laura: what we do know is that, over the course of less than two weeks, our military has been in the debris collection business. >> i want to reassure americans that these objects do not present a military threat to anyone on the ground. they do, however, present a risk to civil aviation and potentially an intelligence collection threat. right now our priority is debris recovery so that we can get a better sense of what these objects are. >> laura: but don't hold your breath. >> the truth is that we haven't
7:08 pm
been able to gain access to the three that were shot down friday, saturday and yesterday in large part because of the weather conditions and the third one, yesterday, was shot down over lake huron so it's underwater so we're going to do everything we can to recover them. >> laura: given all this administration has done to destroy what we love about america, it's hard to believe the truth here is totally benign, that it's all a coincidence or that it's only because we're looking more closely now that we're seeing more. this is ludicrous. former norad commander clancy had the best i heard. >> this is just conjecture of my perspective think you're also seeing the confluence of a distinctive ability bauer our adversaries to test our signals. it looks to me to be a concerted effort because if you have any more than one object then it looks like a coordinated sneefrt coordinated is not a word i
7:09 pm
would ever use to describe the biden gang however. when they're not forthcoming, when er' not transparent, when they seem to put politics or their fear of offending the chinese ahead of america they create a vicious angle of truth worthy necessary. joining us is tom cotton member of the armed services committee. senator, we learned more today about this object that was downed over lake huron that our first attempt at the balloon missed, and, number two, that it had its pay load underneath it, and that it did, indeed, fly over sensitive sites. so where's the president of the united states addressing the nation about any of this? >> laura, i think that's a great point. the american people deserve an explanation from the president about exactly what he thinks these objects were and why we shot them down just a week after
7:10 pm
letting an obvious chinese spy balloon fly all across america. i mean, justin trudeau gave that to the people of canada last week when an american aircraft downed one of these objects over canada. surely, surely justin trudeau is not a more decisive and stronger leader than american president. i hope that's not the world in which we're living. the president needs to come forward on camera speaking directly to the american people, stop sending out mouth pieces and anonymous sources. you know, it reminds me of the time when ronald reagan spoke to the american people just days after soviet russian shot down a korean airlines flight or george h were bush spoke after saddam hussein invaded kuwait. at these moments the american people deserve to hear from the president and not mouth pieces and press secretaries. >> laura: senator, the administration is still trying to act like biden's been super
7:11 pm
decisive and totally in control. >> when it comes to the high hr altitudes are america's borders secure? >> the president takes our national security extremely seriously. i don't think you need to look any further, quite frankly, than the decisions he's made in the last week to ten days to evidence that. >> laura: senator do you see a consistent approach to these unidentified aerial phenomenon or objects that are flying in the sky? is there consistency here? >> no, laura. i will say this, though. here's what we do know. we know these things about the fir balloon. there's nothing more than what meets the eye here. china spent a balloon to spy on america, the administration identified it before it entered the alaskan air space. president biden had a chance to shoot it down, he chose not to. the balloon then flew all across america spying on america. i think part of what we see now
7:12 pm
is the president and his political handlers worried about the criticism they receive for that failure but really that's just one in a string of failures going back to the beginning of this administration that has projected weakness and intimidation on the part of joe biden towards the chinese communists. remember after the collapse of afghanistan, chinese propaganda outlets were talking about an afgan effect. unfortunately i think we may see another echo in these objects of the so-called afgan effect. >> laura: after all that's happened senator just in the past 10 days, the administration seems still quite insistent upon meeting with china. watch. >> is there an active intention to meet in munich later this week? >> we're always assessing options for diplomacy. i'll have to let the prc speak to wong ye's potential travel, if it has the opportunity to be the constructive and useful
7:13 pm
then, of course, that's something we would take a look at. >> laura: senator cotton should this meeting in any way, shape or form go forward? >> i don't think it should, laura. you know if it was ronald reagan sending schultz or george bush sending gates to meet with his scanter parts that would be one thing but joe biden to send blinken is going to result in a safer stronger america. >> laura: what do you think these objects are, senator? i mean one's described as cylindrical, one's described as octagonal. one as a silver metallic smaller balloon. what are these. >> i don't want to hazard a guess. we have a briefing tomorrow morning from the administration. i suspect we won't learn much more than what's leaked to the media. that's why it's so important that joe biden speak directly
7:14 pm
into the camera to the american people. i do think it's better to err on the side of caution and assume they're adversaries china or russia, probing our air spaces. even if they aren't trying to collect intelligence information or represent a direct military effect they can still probe our air defenses and see what kind of early warning systems we have in place. maybe they'll turn out to be weather balloons or balloons from a used car lot. but when you're dealing with matters of national security it's always to err on the side of caution and think that your enemies like china are up to no good. >> laura: do you think it's interesting one of our shots missedd the balloon? i have to say that surprised me knowing how great these pilots are and i had a chance to fly with one once in an f 18. those guys don't miss usually especially on a balloon. that was a little surprising i. >> no, they don't ant i want to commend all the pilots not just the fighter pilots who actually
7:15 pm
engaged the objects but the surveillance pilots, the refueling tanker pilots, they've all done great work over the last two week very weeks. the commander in chief needs to come forward and do his role and explaining why they've been engaging why it's a risk to security and what the plan is now to protect america's air space. >> laura: he's in hiding >> senator thank you so much >> from unidentified objects in the sky to a rash of train derailments across the nation. one man is dead after a train and a truck collided in texas sending 16 cars spilling off the tracks. and in south carolina just a few hours ago, another train derailed in the town of enery. these latest two incidents come a week after one that hasn't received enough attention, a trail carrying high toxic chemicals in east palestine yo starting a massive fire that engulfed the town in very harmful smoke. after initial evacuation order
7:16 pm
last wednesday an epa official found there was nothing here to see. >> as you know we've been conducting air monitoring and sampling in the community since the start of the incident. over the last two hours, we've continued to monday or and as we reported before all the readings we've been recording in the community have been at normal concentrations, normal background of what you would find in almost any normal community and that's what led to the fire chief lifting the evacuation today. >> laura: how's that all turning out? today we learned that there were three additional chemicals discovered in the east palestine train derailment. thousands of fish and animals have suddenly just dropped dead, and a hazardous material specialist described it saying we basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open. we're going to be looking at this thing five, ten, 15, 20 years down the line and think
7:17 pm
gee, cancer clusters could go up, well water could go bad. joining me now is chris wells and girlfriend katie, owner of vonschwartz doberman kennel both living about one mile away from the train derailment before they had to evacuate. now katie you evacuated everything, including all the animals, multiple trips you made. tell us what you felt while you were back there after this derailment. >> so we've had to go back to the location where our home and our business are on to gather some supplies that we weren't able to gather the night of the evacuation. so when we went back there, we felt very itchy eyes, swelling of the face particularly around the eyes. we were coughing. our eyes were watering. our skin was very flakey and
7:18 pm
over the subsequent days became very dry, continued to flake. it was less than ideal, we can say that. >> laura: chris, how about you? i mean, accounts from some of the people in the area who have, again, had to return to get something from their home or, you know, for whatever reason had to go back, i mean, the description of the side effects people are feeling are horrible. and are you worried about long-lasting impacts for the community, given the size and scope of this chemical and toxic fire that was ignited? >> yeah, of course. you know, i -- you know, we unfortunately had to go back ourselves to go get some materials, you know, for our situation that we have here at the house with our dogs, and just for us going back, hi symptoms myself, itching, watery
7:19 pm
eyes, my face started feeling warm. my eyes are pulsating. you know, i truly feel like the evacuation order was lifted too early, prematurely. you know, i advise people, you know, if you don't have to go back, yeah, i mean, try and stay where you are. as you just said earlier, there was a couple more chemicals that, you know, they have -- are now coming out stating and as the story keeps developing, i think there's still going to be more that's going to be coming out. >> laura: well, kate, when you see the enormity of this derailment, i mean, what it ultimately caused in the attempted, i guess tintervention by authorities and done explosion that happened, do you agree with some of these assessments that this could be 5, 10, 20 year process of figuring out just how badly this community is affected with water and, you know, well water and
7:20 pm
the like? >> yeah, so i think the most interesting thing is that a lot of the residents, especially in our area, we're 1.2 miles from the derailment, not a single well was tested prior to the evacuation being lifted. so, you know, these people are going back into their homes without their swell waters being tested and i think that's going to be, in the next few weeks, become quite a problem. i also, i also believe that we should be able to have independent testing done, testing that is not done by norfolk or any affiliate of norfolk and unfortunately it's very expensive and it's very difficult to find any testing agencies or environmental services that will provide these testings at reasonable rates. we've gotten quotes for retainers anywhere from 15 to $50,000. >> laura: yeah, well, the government's going to have to step in on this one and pete
7:21 pm
buttigieg, the transportation secretary, i know is going to be all over this. federal railroad administration, all of them. this is just ridiculous. chris and katie, please be safe. take care of those animals and we'll check back with you thank you. a frantic manhunt still underway for a gunman in michigan state in east lancing. the detroit news reporting one is dead, multiple injuries. police say the suspect is a short male with a mask, possibly black and they're still receiving multiple calls of an active shooter on campus. you can see students right there moments ago being led out of their building to safety. we're going to continue to bring you all of the breaking details as we get them. >> now, up next, are these balloon shootdowns meant to distract us from something else. mollie hemingway ari fleischer have thoughts on that next.
7:26 pm
♪ >> because it's so unprecedented, should the public be hearing from the president president directly on this. >> i have -- we have been -- i think as transparent as we can be. i don't speak for the president's personal speaking schedule, but, i mean, he has been deeply engaged in every one of these decisions.
7:27 pm
>> laura: oh, yeah. i'm sure he's deeply engaged. yet it was justin trudeau who says he gave the order to take out one of the objects over the weekend. yeah. the canadian prime minister is now apparently ordering our f-22s around. so where was biden during all of this? well we know he wasn't doing the traditional pregame super bowl interview with the network hosting the game. a hem, fox. but he did have time for this. >> you know, the thing i like about working with governors, you get things done. like tripping the president. okay. that's okay. all right. >> laura: joining us now mollie hemingway editor and chief at the federalist and ari fleischer former white house press secretary both are fox news contribute tours. mollie, what's going on here? they send out kirby who's a disaster, they send out kjp who tries her best. they send out ned price who doesn't come across as all that
7:28 pm
trustworthy. where's the president? why isn't he speaking out? >> well, it's remarkable. the skies above the united states have become a free fire zone which is something that americans are not used to. it seems that the president addressing the issue is the least that could be done, and that's not happening. they have people some not very good speaking about these issues coming out to talk about it and it is unnerving. having said that biden isn't great to talk about the situation with china because of how compromised he is. it was not that long ago that he was denying that china posed any geopolitical event to the united states when he was running for president. he is well known to have made -- you know, his family has made a tremendous amount of money through chinese communist entities. so he's not really the guy that you want helping out in this, you know, what we hope will be not a hot war but looking like it's becoming a cold war with china, not the person you want at the helm. >> laura: ari, the press
7:29 pm
secretary pretty momentous time for the country as mollie pointed out ended the briefing today without taking a single question. watch. >> have to end the briefing, i have to go into the oval but i will see you tomorrow. and thank you for the compliment on the smile i appreciate that. but i'll be back tomorrow. thanks everybody. >> laura: ari kirby took some questions but i don't think he gave clarity in a lot of his answers. is any of this good in the current environment? >> oh, gosh, no. this is a continuation of what joe biden did when he ran for president in 2020 from his basement. he tries to take advantage of the fact that he thinks he's stronger when no one will listen to him. and today would have been a perfect day for him to address the nation because nothing got shot down today. so he actually could have talked about the fact that maybe something is going right. look, it's inpresenceable, laura. if you recall going into july 4th right as the taliban
7:30 pm
were taking over afghanistan, joe biden was asked about the taliban taking over kabul. he said it's july 4th let's talk about happy things. he is fundamentally incapable of addressing the american people important information. and it would be in joe biden's interest. on a saturday night we shot down the chinese spy balloon he should have addressed the nation that night. we just attacked and shot down, as we should have, a chinese aircraft, we should have done it days earlier, but he should have addressed the nation then. it's inexplicable and abandon his duties. >> laura: mollie in washington, and all of us have been here way too long over the years, when a commission or a task force is appointed it's usually a way to kick the balloon down the road. watch this. >> i have real concerns about why the administration is not being more forthcoming with everything that it knows. the part of the problem here is
7:31 pm
that both of the -- the second and the third objects were shot down in very remote areas. so my guess is that there's just not a lot of information out there yet to share. >> laura: yeah, well, we don't have a photo. we don't have -- not one photo of these objects, no video. of course people are going to think weird stuff is going on here. would you blame them mollie? >> no, particularly after what americans have gone through in recent years where pretty much every institution and establishment institution has mishandled whatever responsibility they have, you know, whether it was the covid debacle, which was really the failure of how people responded to it was so much worse than even the horror of the pandemic itself. and by not being truthful with americans, it gave people no reason to trust what their institutions are saying. we have a military, an industrial complex -- intelligence industrial complication that has been engaged in partisan politicking
7:32 pm
instead of actually, you know, knowing how to wage and win wars or defend the country. so, no, americans have no reason why they would put trust in these people and the lack of transparency does nothing to help. >> laura: and, ari, john kirby, again, he keeps getting pressed on this. you can see journalists are actually getting curious about the objects floating over our skies. and, again, the default position is appoint a task force. watch. >> the president, through his national security advisor has today, directed an inner agency team to study the broader policy implications for detection analysis and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks. every aliments of the government will redouble their efforts to understand and mitigate these. >> laura: ar why i is that he- >> they should have been doing that all along. when we have spy aircraft over our country you would think we're already set up to analyze
7:33 pm
it figure out who they are and report it to the public. it shouldn't be the task force, it should be the daily business of government. >> laura: it should be what we do to protect the nation. >> yes. >> laura: guise thank you so much. >> all right rihanna in the half time show not exactly the family way and a special valentine's day for the ladies out there. raymond arroyo will explain it, seen and unseen is next.

7:47 pm
so we are ecstatic that he is recovering. we loved seeing him at the big game. but since the accident we've gotten constant details about what actually happened, why this happened, what would cause an otherwise healthy young athlete to suffer cardiac arrest on the field. well, hamlin talked about this for the first time. >> how did doctors describe what happened to you? >> um, um, that's something i want to stay away from. i've always been a healthy, young, fit, energetic human being let alone athlete so it was something that was just -- we're still processing and i'm still talking through with my doctors just to see what everything was. >> laura: well, there's still more questions than answers about what did happen to demar.
7:48 pm
for years we've seen young athletes just like him collapsing and we brought you the stories on the angle. so when hamlin does find out exactly what happened, we hope he shares that. because this needs to be prevented and we hope this story, and his story, will help make that happen. >> i've been suffering for over 18 months so far after i got the covid moderna vaccine. i lost my job. i was not able to work because of my medical condition. >> on march 3rd i got my second dose. i woke up on march 4th. i got a horrific pain in my right eye. the next thing i know, i'm on on the floor in my bedroom. i had a massive brain bleed, may haves. >> we brought you story after story on the angle of people who took the covid vaccine and then say they suffered devastating injuries. so what do you do if you think you've been harmed by the shot?

she suffered severe she had blurred vision motor dysfunction in her legs and the memory loss was also significant. that's just a few of the symptoms. she, too, filed a claim with the cicp and contacted astrazeneca directly. joining us now is brann dressing co-chair man of react 19. brianne has the cicp or astrazeneca responded to your claims as of tonight? >> i still have yet to speak to an actual human being at astrazeneca and, no, i have not received a response regarding my cicp claim. >> laura: a lot of people who are big, you know, defenders of the vaccine, any of the vaccines related to covid, will say, well, every drug has side effects and you can't -- you know, it's overall a good thing, it's helped a lot of people and so just pointing out the few adverse reactions isn't really helpful. what do you say to those people?
7:51 pm
>> well, the sad reality is, is when we dismiss people that are suffering with very real diseases, we're dismissing their real need for medical care. so what we're doing when we erase these people, which is essentially what we're doing by dismissing these complaints, is we are sentencing these people to a long and horrible outcome without medical care, without recognition, and without financial compensation. >> laura: well, briann i must know five or six people just personally who have had quite significant reactions to, usually it's the second shot and there have been over 11,000 claims, i believe, filed at cicp about the covid vaccine. 543 have had decisions rendered, which is under 5% of all the claims. and that's just 19 of them.
7:52 pm
only 19 have been listed as eligible for compensation. now, we don't know all the cases. we don't know all the details of all the cases, but that's a pretty small percentage. does that tell you anything? >> it is. yeah, and the sad reality is, is that the people that are being approved, it's for myocarditis and and fa lack sus which are reactions disclosed and acknowledged by the cdc. if you do not have a reaction that's acknowledged by the cdc or the fda, like neuropathy like susan a has or ocular hemorrhage like the other guest you previously discussed, that's it. you're not getting an approval. even issues that are historically happening with other vaccines, even those diseases with the covid vaccines are not being approved. transverse myelitis is being denied, gvs is being denied. these are very simple diseases
7:53 pm
that the fda, the cdc, the nih, they all have known about these diseases because of previous vaccines. so it blows my mind that for some reason the covid vaccines are held to a totally different standard that and you will the previous vaccines we have implemented in this country. >> laura: well, why do you think that is? >> well, we all have our theories. you know, the sad reality is is, if we do acknowledge that these covid vaccines do present more risk than just, you know, a few handful of cases of myocarditis and anafalaxis then we have a far greater mess on our hand. >> laura: a lot of money on the line pfizer has made billions and billions of dollars, they fund a lot of research fellowships, they give a lot of grant money, they're incredibly powerful, pharma is incredibly powerful here in washington. but the fda has acknowledged that the vaccines have caused some problems in people as we saw in that meeting last month
