evening. before we go, i want to remind you to check ow the miseducation of america, which is available streaming on fox nation. it's about the education our founders received and your kids deserve to receive as well. don't forget to catch rachel, will and i every saturday and sunday morning on fox and friends weekend. that's all the time we have. sean will be back tomorrow. have a great night. the ingraham angle is up next. >> laura: hello everyone i'm laura ingraham and this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. thanks for joining us. the equity club. that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> the cost of racial inequity to this country brings the entire country down, holds the entire country back. >> giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality but we also need to fight for equity. >> advancing equity is not a one-year project. it's a generational commitment

>> laura: watch your wallet. you can't say the voters in 2020 weren't warned. who could forget kamala's goofy cartoon message. >> so there's a big different betweens equality and equity. equality suggests, oh, everyone should get the same amount. the problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the same place. equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place. >> laura: i still can't believe that actually went out. now, if we had an honest media, this would have been exposed for what it is on the spot, just cartoonish socialist nonsense. because when joe and kamala say equity, what they mean is justified discrimination and not just based on race because when joe and kamala say equity, what they really mean is the creation of a new power dynamic that's disguised in very benevolent terms. >> equity on the issue of benefit and strength, our

administration from the beginning made a commitment that we would increase minority and women-owned businesses getting federal contracts. >> we're implementing a once in a generation infrastructure law with equity at its center. i mean that sincerely. with equity at its center. >> laura: he means that sincerely. of course the word equity is the and is the is this of our constitution. a sense of what's fair requires gratuitously punishing or rewarding americans based on arbitrary categories. the same racial activists demanding reparations now are the same ones who influence the president's executive order on equity that was aimed at advancing equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality. because advancing equity requires a systematic approach to embedding fairness and

decision making processes, executive departments and agencies must recognize and work to address inequities and their policies and programs. that's a mouthful. but ignore the noble language because when they use the term racial equity it's really not about helping african-americans. it's another follows about equity. it's about helping advance the democrats agenda which essentially is 21st century socialism. the idea of equity would never include a scenario underwhich a government contract, for instance, would be awarded to a business headed by a conservative black man or a woman over one headed by a white, reliable supporter of the left, let's say, climate agenda. because unless you fully buy in to what they believe, you don't count as being traditionally from an underserved community. remember how justice thomas, my old boss, is treated by the

smithsonian's african-american museum compared to the billionaire entertainer oprah winfrey. remember it wasn't until a year after the museum opened that they added under pressure, a small exhibit on justice thomas. disgusting but so predictable. the true aim of their equity agenda is to build a new powerful political machine where leftists get as many of the resources as possible. so this equity lie is seen in how the biden team has downplayed the train derailment in east palestine. >> 12 years, how do you just get up and walk away from that because of somebody else's negligence. >> i've never been afraid to go home and this is the first time i've been afraid to go home. >> i can't take anything from my house. my daughter took a bag of clothes and it launched asthma with her when she was trying to get them out to wash. >> laura: now, these people are both underserved and potentially

poisoned. so where's the equity there? these are mostly middle classworking-class people. but leave it to pete. who instead of visiting a community in need after a rail accident, would rather play politics. >> we have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color, that finally sees the project come to then but everyone in the hardhats on that project looking like -- you know, doing the good-paying jobs don't look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood. >> laura: what an idiot. does that mean like those all white owned town houses in georgetown or the mansions in bellaire shouldn't have, what, hispanic drywallers or painters? we can now only have projects run by people who look like the community? what a farce is that. because what it ultimately leads to are established firms setting up subsidiaries with a, you

know, on the surface a minority staff so then they can go check the box and compete for that federal contract. the story is as old as time. just as the left came to dominate university faculties and came to dominate hollywood, they want to dominate all aspects of the federal government and, of course, comes with that, the lucrative government contracting. this is why they're so afraid of trump's idea to reform the civil service. the truth is, look, the democrats have essentially given up on our system. they think it's racist. they think it's evil and they want to end it. but since socialism can never deliver better outcomes to people, certainly not better than the american system, the radicals need to rig things in their political favor. it's the only way. and they're kind of jealous of china with its social credit system. and they'd like to establish the equivalent of that here. a system that effectively rates you based on whether you're a member of a select group and

whether you have certain attitudes or beliefs. so if you have the wrong friends, if you've donateded to the wrong groups, if you go to the wrong church, you're going to be shut out of certain opportunities. this is what they want. they effectively did this in our universities and in hollywood and now they aim to do this in government and by extension in corporate america. so everything you hear about dei, esg, it's all the same. it's ditching any objective measure, whether it's like the ap courses in schools, the at that times, the acts, and even, yes, october i have assessments via artificial intelligence. yeah, you heard that right. as americans struggle to buy like a dozen eggs or fill their gas tanks in their cars, don't worry because the administration has a plan to eradicate al gore rhythmic discrimination.

designers of ought mate i have systems should take proactive continuous measures to protect members in community from al gore rich discrimination and use and design systems in an equitable way. this is anything to avoid what might even approach an objective assessment. and, of course, business leaders are bowing to the equity gods as well. >> companies like ours must speak up as allies to the black lives matter movement. >> we were on record back in 2016 in supporting of black lives matter. >> business leaders cannot remain silent on important issues, whether it's racial equity, gender equity. >> laura: that's it. now, this agenda is already in play at corporate board rooms. and, yes, if the left has its way, they'll eventually expand their equity club to include everything from the training and hiring of airline pilots to the training and hiring of heart

surgeons. scared yet? well, you should be. because their dream is to massively expand their power by embedding preferences based mostly on political beliefs and affiliations under the guise of addressing systemic injustices. now, call it crony socialism. but, let's face it, since everything they do ends up lowering our standard of living, it's the only possible way they can really extend their political reach. you still think i'm exaggerating. well, guess who's running the white house equity show? none other than obama's left hand woman, susan rice, who now runs biden's domestic policy shop. now, none of this should surprise us. after all, our figure head president does zero to unite the country. he spends his time telling us how awful it is. >> you know, folks, lynching is pure terror, trying to vote, trying to go to school, trying

to own a business, linked for simply being black. nothing more. with white crowds, white families gathered to celebrate the spectacle taking pictures of the bodies and mailing them as post cards. hard to believe that's what was done. and some people still want to do that. >> laura: now, i wonder if china laughs at antony blinken when he urges them to take the moral high ground. they say something like your own president says that you all want to lynch people over there. why should we listen to you? well, equity, just like all their buzz words like diversity or inclusion or gender affirming care or vaccine disinformation, they're just verbal clubs to use against decenters to force you to give up your freedoms and your way of life for a fraudulent utopia. don't fall for it. and that's the angle. joining me now is kentucky attorney general daniel cameron,

who is also very excited about this, running for governor of the great state of kentucky. mr. attorney general, great to see you tonight. >> thank you. how is it possible. >> laura: how is it possible that this president, who ran on this big unity and returning government to the, you know, normal course of business and so forth, he's telling black americans that white people still want to lynch them? >> it's absolutely ridiculous, laura. and this is a president that's trying to take us backward rather than judge people by the content of their character, they want to judge people based on the color their skin. and this president in many ways has surrendered his presidency to the woke policies of the far left. that's why i'm running for governor because i think the states are going to have to take the lead to push back against this nonsense coming from washington, dc. that's why i jumped in this governor's race and that's why i'm hoping to win so i can be a part of an alliance of

governors, whether sara huckabee sanders in arkansas or desans in florida or glenn youngkin in virginia to make sure we stand up for the values of our respective states but also pushing back against the nonsense coming out of washington, dc and these woke ideologies that aren't rootedd in common sense. >> laura: i'm going to get to what pentagon tweeted a few days ago but first i want to point this out. when they say equity, again, you don't count. justice thomas doesn't count. conservative african americans don't count. same thing with women or latinos. so do you agree that the, quote, equity agenda, is a fraud at the start. >> well, the equity agenda that the biden white house is putting out and that our governors and others of the far left greed to isn't compatible with the american principles and our foundation. we are an opportunity society, and we need to expand upon

opportunities for all americans. and what you're seeing from this administration in washington right now is the idea that we need to pit each other against one another. think about or talk about crt. i'm the first african-american independently elected, first black american independently elected in kentucky. you think if i was learning those crt principles that tell folks that i'm intear i don't remember because of the color of my skin or that my white friend is an oh presser, do you think i would be in this position? no, it's because i learned reading, writing and arithmetic. i learned that i could do anything, that my potential, given by god, could take me as far as i wanted to go. what our kids are learning now is inconsistent with that, and that's why, again, i'm running for governor because i want to stand up for the values of the men, women and children of of this commonwealth. >> laura: it's exciting. i clerked for justice thomas and i've said it so many times but, to be courageous in the country today, when you're not in

uniform, military uniform is to be a conservative minority facing the media and the woke crowd. the dod, we'll get back to this issue that i referred to earlier, they just tweeted a few days ago, mr. attorney general, that diversity is a tra teeg i can imperative critical to mission readiness and accomplishment. we're on site for the 2023 inaugural office of diversity and inclusion. talk about the die experts and forums because our people matter. mr. attorney general, this is a strategic imperative? do you think china's shaking in its boots tonight reading and hearing about that? >> the strategic imperative our united states military has to be the preparedness on the battlefield to beat our adversaries and keep us safe domestically from foreign

enemies and it's unfortunate the biden administration has bought into woke ideologies from the far left. that's why i'm running for governor in kentucky to stand up to this like other governors across our country who want to make sure that we represent our values, make sure that we represent those founding principles that are so innate to our dna as americans. that's why i'm running for governor. i hope your viewers will look at cameron for kentucky.com and help us win this race, because we, again, want to be a part of an alliance of governors that stands up for our states. >> laura: it's an optimistic agenda and it's about holding the bar high for everyone, no special preferences for anyone based on race or political ideology. mr. attorney general, great to see you, daniel cameron here on the laura ingraham show. >> as the white house pre tends to care about equity, the administration seems blissfully uninterested in public schools most out of democrat enclaves,

fat cat jbpress kerr's illinois, out of 53 schools zero students are proficient in math. zero. according to the illinois news outlet wire points, they chalked up yet another big fat zero for reading proficiency in 30 schools across the state. now they don't need the bar lowered for equity, what they need, as i just said, set the bar high. because right now, we're setting our kids up for failure. joining me now is tony investigative columnist at the daily signal also a former science teacher and administrator who was fired after exposing crt in his district. tony great to see you tonight. what can we attribute these devastating numbers to? is it just covid or is there something deeper going on? >> no, laura, there's something much deeper going on. when you set aside the classical and traditional principles as

the attorney general from kentucky said him learn growing up, millions of americans learn matt reading science and history and we toss those aside for equitable principles which really are just corny jokes wrapped up in racial stigmatism, we actually forego academic progress for this continual socialist five year plan wheel of terror and we turn around and look at each other at the end of the five years and ask why nothing's improved it's because we're no longer focused on academics, it's all politics. >> laura: the kids in baltimore are in the same boat, out of 23 schools zero students proficient in math, and they usually rank among the highest big spenders perfect pugh pill. 21 k perfect pugh pill for baltimore city alone. that's a lot of money. >> not just billion. not just baltimore but washington, dc spends 30,000 per student and they only, 31% can read in that district, 32 in

math. la 34 thousand per student only 28% of their students are proficient in math. chicago illinois you mentioned earlier spends close to 30,000 per student while only 11% of black students can read and only 17% of hispanics students can read. doesn't sound like much equity going on there to me. >> laura: tony, brilliant analysis. thank you >> now the biden administration once again looking like fools abroad and they have china running right into russia's arms, stephen miller and kolby are here on that and what happened that has me actually agreeing with bernie sanders? this cannot be. but i will explain it next. staythis c

♪ >> you and all ukrainians, mr. president, remind the world every single day what the meaning of the word courage is. remind us that freedom is priceless. it's worth fighting for for as long as it takes, and that's how long we're going to be with you mr. president, for as long as it takes. >> laura: there's that phrase again, as long as it takes. today we saw joe biden doing his best performance art, proxy war

style pledging a half a billion dollars more for a country that is not a nato member as the nations right on its doorstep are nowhere near paying its fair share to use one of biden's favorite phrases. so as we drain our coffers at home our real adversary is mocking us with impunity. china racked on tony blinken after he tried to play tough with the chinese after the communist regime was planning on sending aid to russia. >> it was the u.s. that provided weapons to the battlefield, the u.s. is in no position to tell us what to do and we would never accept its finger pointing or coercion on china russian relations. we never accept any bossing around on china russian relations. joining us now is stephen miller and eldridge kolby former

secretary of defense and author of strategy of denial >> let's start with you council on relation types like richard hoss saying something about china is inching us perhaps to a danger zone saying xi may decide he invested too much in putin to see him loose lose and also a long warm depletes u 16789 ron desantisness and xi may say there's no upside with restraint given the new ties and sanctions. thoughts on that. >> sure. first and foremost i think it is true we have become distracted in europe as you and i and others predicted a year ago and the president's trip to kiev shows his priorities. some say he's trying to prioritize china but the president tweeted out part of his heart was in kiev and i don't think we've seen anything

like that in the united states, east palestine but we haven't seen it vis-a-vis china which is ten times the economic size as russia. at the same time blinken threatened over the provision of lethal aid, we know the chinese are already providing some type of military support, but more fundamentally they're system at click evading sanctions which blinken said was one of the demands a year ago when he talked to xi jinping. the russians are good at building weapons that is their strong suit where they need help is economic and the chinese have been doing that. >> laura: right. >> so what we've seen is a pretty empty threat and the chinese are not going to back away from this. >> laura: well, steven we all know, anyone that's followed china the last 20 years, know that they don't respect weakness they respect strength which is why they were pretty intimidated by president trump. so they send that surveillance balloon over to spy on us, we let it cross the united states and shoot it down in the water and then we essentially beg them

for some type of continued conversation. what kind of message does that send to china after all this? >> well, they got the measure of joe biden from the beginning of this administration when he cancelled president trump's program to keep chinese spice out of america. when he canceled the investigation into the origins of covid. never brought it up. never tried to hold china accountable. then they send a spy balloon across the united states and it's allowed to freely traverse the country, isn't shot down until it leaves u.s. territory or continental territory and on top of all of that you have china lecturing tony blinken the way one talks to an unruly child. they don't take this administration or joe biden or tony blinken seriously and they look at us spending all of this treasure, all of our resources all of our prestige over the boarders of ukraine and they think they have us made, they have us in a corner and they are going to forge an alliance with

russia that's going to make the united states unable to project its power across the world. >> laura: well, elbridge it is quite something, is it not, we hear joe biden talk about how there are people in america who still support lynching and are systemically racist and we try to have this moral imperative dealing with china and every time they use a version of that against us. so we're self loathing in a way and then we go saying, you know, we're on the moral high horse on the international stage. i just don't think that ultimately works. >> no, i don't think. and they can smell it. you saw it at the anchorage meeting at the beginning of the administration where this approach just doesn't work. we need to be confident. we need to be confident in our willingness and ability and resolve to put the american people's interests first. that doesn't mean being cruel or disregarding others. we need to work with you are on allies where appropriate but they need to pull their weight as you were just saying.

we have nothing to be ashamed of in advancing and protecting our interests vis-a-vis china and to the respect we do we could fail. >> laura: isn't the best deterrent to china economically strong. >> yes, economically strong. the last two years china has not fulfilled its trade commitments under president biden snapped back tariffs and should have been put in place. they never were. the trade increased almost 10% from 2021 to 2022. the deficit is depleteded, our spirit is weaker and as you pointed out laura this is so important. when joe biden devotes the narrative of his whole presidency that america is racist we need equity to rebalance our whole country because we're all bigots, we completely lose our morale

standing on the world stage in all negotiations, and it comes right from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> laura: yeah, undermining ourselves in a very dangerous time, stephen, elbridge, wonderful to see you both. thank you >> in the america i see the permanent politician will finally retire. we'll have term limits for congress [cheers and applause] and mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old. >> laura: now, that may sound like kind of a cool idea, especially with a president who is decomposing before our eyes in office. cool idea until you think about the thing called the constitution which sets the clear qualifications to be president. joining us now harmeet dhillon partner at dillon law group. harmeet, why might this neat 0 idea of a competency test be

problematic? >> well, laura i sympathize with the impulse because obviously joe biden and many other older politicians have exhibited signs of mental decay but it's unconstitutional. the constitution sets forth the very few standards required qualifications to be a president of the united states and their age, 35, united states citizen natural born and has lived in the united states 14 years and that's it. and statements attempts to add additional qualifications like california's attempt to add a tax return discloser qualification and many other attempts like that have been struck down by the courts as unconstitutional. so absent an amendment to the constitution this isn't possible. beyond that there are plenty of politicians including joe biden specifically who have exhibited signs of loopyness well before they turned 75 and i think that age is an imperfect proxy for mental competent. and during campaigns we actually do have opportunities through debates and opportunities for voters to be able to assess

these issues, and age, and make those determinations for themselves so i'm not in favor of that kind of of a test even if the policy if that were possible. >> laura: here's what 81 year old senator bernie sanders had to say about it. watch. >> that's absurd. we're fighting race i sexism homophobia, and fight ageism. trust people look at people and say this person's competent this person's not competent. there are a lot of 40 year olds out there that are particularly competent. >> laura: i have to say i rarely agree with bernie sanders and with the litany of ism's he accepted here, i think he's right. there are a lot of dopes in their 30s and 40s but he's pretty sharp even if he's a total socialist. >> he's pretty sharp, look at jimmy carter god bless him, perfectly active american citizen into his 90s and a lot of very smart people. donald trump is 76, i don't think anyone would question

whether he's mentally agile enough to be the president. dianne feinstein who has been exhibiting signs of mental incompetence since well before her last election. i think it's up to voters to assess and make that determination. this isn't a pan see a for old people being in politics. we have to find another way to deal with competency which is the reason why we have that in dc is because of that issue not because somehow they don't know about their mental issues. >> laura: i think nikki haley is kind of a cool line to throw out there in a political context, but in practice, what would those questions be on the competency test harmeet? wouldn't you and i like to write them? wouldn't that be fun? only if we could write them would we say it's constitutional. i'm joking. harmeet wonderful to see you >> all right, latoya cantrell could soon make history as the first mayor of new orleans to be recalled. why are citizens rejecting her?

>> laura: it's time for seen and unseen where we reveal the stories behind the headlines and we learn to the author of the unexpected light thomas edison raymond arroyo. all right, ray, mayor latoya cantrell is facing a recall in new orleans. now, this is kind of a long-time coming, is it not? >> well, laura, you are right. mayor cantrell has re'em bursted the city for $30,000 for luxurious travel to france. last week she paid the city a million dollars which she routed to her own nonprofit. she's under investigation by the city and the feds. she used a city apartment as a place to spend days with a member of her security detail and, oops, this weekend, like britney spears she did it again

laura. >> laura: something in a saturday parade must have rubbed her the wrong way. was she -- the mayor was caught flipping the bird and shouting at members of a mardi gras crew? what? >> i wish you could see it better but she's actually flipping the bird yelling at them and this is in the mayors official reviewing stand at the hall a day where five goers were shot and killed. organizers are working to secure 50,000 signatures of new orleans voters to oust the mayor. they will until wednesday. i spoke to one of the recall cantrell founders, beldon newbyman baltise and other citizens. watch this. >>the our city deserves better and the mayor didn't put our city first she neglected our city and we see a city on fire crumbling the carjacking the robbery. before that i saw in the black community, that the black community is hurting. >> the children don't have anywhere to go and nothing to do

so they're out shooting people robbing people killing people. it's ridiculous what's going on in our city. >> independent of all of the things she's done to intor rate the entire population she's arrogant. it's about her. >> i didn't know the mayor knew sign language. i heard yesterday she was showing people how to do the finger ♪ >> during the parade, she flipped off some of the riders. >> kind of disgusting. i mean there are children watching, there were people around. terrible. that's not what we expect from our mayor. >> i'm volunteering for this recall, and i want new orleans to go back to what it was whiffs growing up, a fortune 500 hundred corporation city which had a lot of jobs and look what it turned to a third world zoo. >> she hasn't brought the community together. they're separate. everybody's hostile towards her.

so latoya the destroyer's got to go. >> mayor says this is a racist effort and driven by the gop. you would respond how to that? >> i would respond that me and eileen are two african americans we are democrats and we started it. this ain't about no gop, ain't about no race. it's about what the mayor ain't doing. it ain't about who's right it's about who's right for the city and mayor cantrell is not right for the city. >> laura: endorsing this recall effort, what happens now. wait they have fat tuesday, they have to get the rest of the signatures on fat tuesday when everyone's drunk there? come on. how's that going to work. >> i am told laura by the organizers they already have the signatures. they're going to turn that in wednesday. at that will trigger a vote but that's just an up or down vote whether the voters accept this recall. looks like it's going to happen and she's only got, the mayor,

6,700 dollars in her entire war chest. hard to run a campaign with that. >> laura: she is a piece of work. all right, raymond, the beloved children's author roald dahl is being censored by his editor puffin in the name of inclusivity. >> i went through the edits doll's great witches went from reading the old hag to the old crow. i don't know how that's better. the other foul baldheaded females is now changed to fouled females. and matilda, describes her as having a great horsey face. it now reads the deeply unfunny face. and small boys and children are now just -- small boys and girls are now just children. they are wiping out gender specificity throughout these books. >> laura: raymond, now, this tells us, right, that the left

was never about just making people get along and tolerate. this was about changing everything about our culture. we saw it with jk rowlingings and now here in the united states. this is a joke. >> as a children's author you labor over words and construction to create emotion and get a reaction. when you start knocking down and just stripping the language of roald dahl, one of our great word smiths, you strip it of the mischief, the fun, the wimsy that kids love. this is why 300 million copies were sold by this man. now they have these people who are not equipped rewriting his work, i think it's scandalous. they did to roald dahl what madonna did to her face, disfigment in the name of preservation. it doesn't work, it would work. wrote a book named switch pitch,

i can't wait to see the rename of that. >> laura: instead of horsey face can they say goat face would that be okay? >> it's great and then it will just be face and then pretty soon it won't be face at all just throw the book out and not public it. >> laura: they have to change the copyright laws. there has to be some way of addressing this, we can't allow this taliban-esque approach to american culture to take hold >> raymond thank you and happy fat tuesday tomorrow >> alarming video out of austin texas shows what happens when the defund police crowd gets its way. that's next. through the pandemic, getrefunds.com can see if it may qualify for a payroll tax refund of up to $26,000 per employee, even if it received ppp, and all it takes is eight minutes to get started. then we'll work with you to fill out your forms and submit the application; that easy. and if your business doesn't get paid, we don't get paid. getrefunds.com has helped businesses like yours claim over $2 billion but it's only available for a limited time. go to getrefunds.com, powered by innovation refunds.

♪ . >> laura: all right, what happens when you defund the police? stuff like this. whoa! >> oh, my god. >> oh, my god. >> whoa. >> laura: incredibly dangerous street racers massive crowds took over multiple intersections in austin texas over the weekend. obviously you see they're shooting off fireworks damaging cars. there's even video of someone being set on fire. now, austin police, who

currently have a deficit of 278 officers, they were clearly outnumbered. one officer was hurt. city council member allison alter witnessed the chaos and she called 911. she reports that she was left on hold for 28 minutes. she served on the city council, by the way when it voted unanimously in 2020 to cut the police budget by 30%. but when the city treats its own police department like this, it's no wonder why the reaction from these thugs is this. >> we want to be known, we want to be documented. we want to be the next fast and furious. >> are you ever scared you are going to get arrested or you're going to have like a felony charge on you because of this? >> no. like i said, they can't catch us. >> laura: joining us now is mckenzie kelly, austin city council member. council woman thank you for joining us. they can't catch us. wow. they're really brazen.

they're not scared of the police at all in austin. is the council at all reconsidering its decision to at least partly defund the police? >> you know, laura, i really wish i could come to you tonight with better news but unfortunately it seems like i'm on an island of my own here other than council member alter who didn't need the police until she needed them. you mentioned she was there when they voteded to defund the police department. it really seems like those actions in 2020 from the police abolitionists to defund the police are coming home to roost today. >> laura: well, council woman, here's what the same street racer said about the police officer who was injured. >> we didn't have no intentions of hurting nobody. you know, that's, that's our fault. we're sorry to that police officer that got hurt. he should have just stayed in his own lane. >> laura: you can believe that? should have just stayed in his own lane. that's what it's come to.

>> i'm so tired of hearing from people like that that have no sense of what their consequences are going to be for their actions. if you were really thinking through law and order and being a law abiding citizen you never would have put yourself in that place in the first place. >> laura: this is also where the capitol is. people forget, austin is the capitol of texas. so at some point, keep it weird is going to turn to keep it dangerous. or keep it unlawful. and that's not going to work long term for the city, period. it's not going to work. >> right. and we're already there, laura. unfortunately, you know, to my dismay and that of other people who were born and raised here we've seen the city take a downhill turn especially in regards to advocating for the police instead of trying to abolish them and it's really unfortunate because it puts everybody at risk here. the people who work here, the people that live here, the people trying to raise a family and visitors. we are one catastrophic failure away from cascading into a difficult situation that our

police department does not have the staffing to get attention for. >> laura: well, council woman, you are one of the lone voices of reason in austin. i hope the democrats wake up there. if not, i mean, it's going to become, you know, baltimore or chicago, which is not good. council woman, thank you. >> coming up, the angle, like usual, gets results. i'll explain next. dude, what're you doing? i'm protecting my car. that's too much work. weathertech is so much easier... laser-measured floorliners up here, seat protector and cargoliner back there... nice! out here, side window deflectors... and mud flaps... and the bumpstep, to keep the bumper dent-free. cool! it's the best protection for your vehicle,

new or pre-owned. great. but where do i---? order. weathertech.com. sfx: bubblewrap bubble popped sound.

>> laura: last week we brought you explosive reporting from the washington examiner detailing how the state department was working sur rip tissuesly to demon ties conservative news. the investigative reporting appeared on the angle saying the they fund over a half million bucks to a group called the global disinformation. they pressured companies to black list conservative westbound sites. well, the examiner with an assist from the angle gets results. tonight we can report that the

national endowment for democracy have cut ties with gdi. we know the left is going to work hard to get what they want as far as suppressing dissenting views. they're going to work hard to continue to do that and we will work hard to expose it. that's it for us tonight. remember it's america now and forever. remember to check me out on instagram and twitter. greg gutfeld takes it all from here. ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> greg: happy glorious monday, everybody. what a gorgeous audience. i don't say that to just any audience. meet me later. so president biden arrived in ukraine early mondayng
