quick programming note next tuesday and wednesday live hannity audience shows, senator ted cruz and judge jeanine pirro will join sean live on set on tuesday. tickets are the right price they're free. to be part of the audience go to hannity.com to get your tickets. thanks for joining us, again thanks to sean. have a great wonderful weekend. the ingraham angle is up next. ♪ >> laura: hey everyone i'm laura ingraham this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight thanks for being with us. now, the world is upside down. in the world created by blm soros funded das and social media agitators, heroes are held up as villains. anvil answer, they're the new heroes. now, we saw this play out as the daniel penny rallies unfolded. lord knows how many lives he saved in that subway car that jordan neely was threatening.

but the squads of racial arsonists set his life on fire after neely died. now alvin bragg's off is after the two other young men who jumped in to help mr. penny subdue the crazed lunatic. we witnessed the same perfect verse insanity in the open border crisis caused by joe biden. the media loves the fraudulent asylum seekers flooding our country routinely amplifying their wants, their needs, their concerns and taking everything they say about their cases just, it's gospel, got to believe it. so ranchers in texas, property owners, tired of the trash and all the resources this is consuming, we'll they're just heartless nativeists. so villainizing americans who say no more migrants became more difficult this week when minorities in cities like new york and chicago, they began protesting as well. >> these families and in some case they're adult males, i

don't feel safe having adult males with no health screenings, no criminal background checks around our children and in some cases they can't come out and play. this is unfair. >> resources that have not come to us, now you want to overly compensate for people who never lived here before. >> we have been red lined, jim crowed, pushed out enough. >> laura: now where are the sensible democrats telling biden, look, this is out of control, shut this down. just on merely political concerns at this point? where are the honest journalists demanding accountability and answers to communities already underserved and under pressure. then there's the case of a physician's assistant at bellevue hospital in new york. now she's six months pregnant and had just wrapped up a 12-hour shift and she decided to hop a city bike, you can rent those, to commute home. now, the bike, by the way, she

reserved with her credit card, it was hers. now, when she tried to un-dock the bike, a group of young men and teens approached her one of them slamming the bike back down into its little station. now, that's when these thugs turned the camera back on. >> help! help me! please help me. >> this is not your bike. >> please help me. >> this is not your bike. >> please help me. help! please, get off. help! >> you're not getting the bike. >> touch my phone do not touch my phone. >> i'm not touching you. >> you're not crying i got you on video. >> help. >> this is my bike it's on my account please move. >> so why don't we reset the bike. >> i'm not resetting the bike. >> it's his, it's his. >> you were act i have. [bleep]. >> that baby going to come out.

>> how you stop crying? not a tear came down. >> laura: the video went viral and spread like wildfire and white woman berating or needless fight with a group of black men. that was the perfect crystalsation of what the radicals want everyone to believe. of course, that white people hate black people. just she's another karen. that's what the mob was crying. well, the video quickly racked up tens of millions of views and usual suspects on social media hell began to throw kerosene on the fire and deep thinker benjamin crump even tweeted a white woman was caught on camera attempting to steal a city bike from a young black man in new york city. she grossly tried to weaponize her tears to paint this man as a threat. this is exactly the type of behavior that has endangered so many black men in the past. well, crump just deleted the tweet today, that's good. but the damage has been done.

now, in a predictable fashion, the corporate cowards at bellevue hospital, without doing its own investigation of what happened, put her on leave. the statement read, the incident in the video is disturbing and then went on to suggest that she was somehow profiling these individuals. here was her attorney earlier with bill hemmer. >> she's received death threats, you know, her family has been -- she's in hiding. you know what's at play is what social media did to this woman who is literally a hero and has done nothing but help people and within one minute effectively tries to ruin her life. >> could this have just been an ugly miscommunication? >> i mean that's all this effectively this is. race has nothing to do with it. if the skin colors were the same we would not be here today. >> laura: now his client has produced the receipt showing that indeed the bike was her toss use, not theirs. sure seems to look like the realville ands here are the jerks who harassed this woman and everyone else who just piled

on. and it's a disgusting commentary on what the far left and their media conspirators have done to our country. i don't think these are isolated incidents, by the way. that's what everyone's saying. because millions of americans, who are hard working, they're good people, they're beginning to feel like they have a target on their back simply because they don't fit the current liberal ideal. now this woman feels like her life is just over. so shame on everyone who helped ignite this firestorm. shame on bellevue for treating a diligent employee, a healthcare worker, we are a supposed to celebrate them, aren't we? to treat them this way this has all got to stop or america is going to head down a very dangerous road and perhaps one we will not be able to turn back on >> joining me now is sean duffy, cohost of the bottom line on fox business, and ned ryan ceo of american majority. ned, i think it's wrong to

dismiss these stories as one offs. >> yeah. >> laura: with the border open a lot of americans feel like they're now strangers in their own land and, you know, they're the suspects as they go about their daily lives. >> that's right. >> laura: what are your thoughts on these incidents? >> i think ar right, laura. it's not isolated. it's becoming a more regular occurrence. whether it's a big issue like the border or this incident in new york city but another example of social lawlessness in which we as a society have decided we can't agree and have a common set of values and ideals. and we lost that ability a long time ago, in which we had the ability to agree on something was good and right and something was wrong and evil, and now we're in an era where, you know, good, hard working people are targeted simply because they might have the wrong value set, according to, you know, the last or those in the media, and so you end up in this era where

you've got black lives matter destroying billions of dollars by looting and burning, and actually some people saying, well, it was mostly peaceful, it's a good thing for society in general for them to be out there doing that. and then you have good samaritans on subways and a six-month pregnant woman being considered villains simply for actually standing up for themselves. and so my concern, laura, on this, and a much bigger, broader scheme is this, we are so divided as a country if we don't have a common set of values, you can't be one country with two very, very different set of values. at some point society starts to come apart at the seams and if we don't figure this out pretty quick as a country we will come apart at the seams. >> laura: sean i talked to a lot of people who feel exactly as ned just explained, divided, but not just divided politically, divided on fundamental issues. like you don't do what you just did to that woman. let's say she had the wrong bike, okay? maybe it was his bike.

you don't do that to a woman period. you don't behave that way. i don't care what color your skin is, but those rules are out the window now. >> a woman who's pregnant. and by the way what parents raised these kids. what young adults do you know in their late teens and early 20s would approach a woman on a bike and get in a fight with her because they think it is a hearse. they might have a discussion or a debate but would figure it out respectfully as opposed to harassing her and pulling the video camera out. we live in a world where we view everything through the lens of race, the oh presser and the oppressed and a situation like this, the facts be damned. she's white they're black that means she's guilty and they're in the right when you just mentioned she bought the bike, she has the receipt for it. i think what this comes down to as well is, you have, what, $14 trillion at steak right now. there's reparations that are now being introduced in congress, and you need incidents like this to make sure that you can drive

the narrative to make sure that money will be paid for crimes that none of us committed against people who did not have the crimes committed against them. but that's what this is about and this narrative helps drive that set of cash out through congressional coffers. >> laura: i think sauer right the new national emergency racism just like covid was, you could suspend rights an enormous amount of money to rectify that because of this emergency. i want to play what al sharpton had to say at jordan neely's funeral today. watch this fraud. >> jordan was screaming for help. we keep criminalizing people with mental illness. a good samaritan help those in trouble they don't choke them out. what happened to jordan was a crime. >> laura: ned only in sharpton's america could you go from kidnapping a seven year old and punching an old lady in the face to a gold and ivory casket.

>> well, it's orwellian. evil is good, good is evil, and this is -- we have to be honest about this, laura. we are confronting evil, and these people want to completely silence us and actually speaking out and saying, no, we're not going to tolerate this. yeah we have issues that need to be dealt with. we should actually look into mental institutions again. but we are confronting evil in this country and i think it's incumbent upon many of us to stand up and say there is good, there is evil and we shouldn't be afraid to stand and confront evil. >> laura: sean do you agree this is pure demonic stuff happening right now. >> i think at pure marxism and marxism is evil so yes we agree on that but where the hell is al sharpton to say there's whole bunch of jordan kneelies on the streets of new york i'm going to save one of them and go help one out. he just goes to a fuel ran and gives a speech but does nothing to help the people just like jordan neely he just raises cash off jordan neely.

that's it. >> laura: excellent point. >> by the way we live bylaws, we should enforce our laws and use our court system to determine these cases as opposed to judging people on race. one last thing laura, this woman on the bike, she's a social justice warrior, she believes in equity and racial justice. so the very people who are attacking her on line are just like her. she is part of the problem. she should have rejected those principles and ideas and stood up for people who are harassed like her but she is the problem in new york. sheet's a liberal new yorker. >> laura: frankenstein comes for everyone, especially the creator. that's what's hamming. sean, ned good to see both of you. have a good weekend >> now while we fight each other here our efforts abroad don't look any more coordinated. behold the shear incompetence displayed by the pentagon just over the past 24 hours. we just learned they made an accounting error in assessing the value of the military support we've given ukraine. the damage? three billion.

okay. if you, mr. and mrs. american taxpayer thought that money was coming back, no way. the pentagon's just going to use it as an excuse to shovel more weapons ukraine's way. but that's just the beginning of their ineptitude because earlier this week the biden administration boastly announces the killing of a senior al qaeda figure in syria. well, turns out this they obliterated a 56 year old former bricklayer and father of 10 who was committing the crime and the terrorism of tending his sheep. joining me now, elbridge kolby former pentagon official. elbridge, we're going to get good enough for holding our pentagon accountable but good lord, how can you not say that the pentagon needs fundamental reform when it's either wokism or it's this kind of stuff, $3 billion worth of accounting errors? >> well, laura great to be with you. i mean i think incompetence might be generous, it's a little bit fishy, president looks like

he's relenting on the f16 issues which casts about $3 billion and, you know, it's convenient because they're worried about funding more aid and i think this goes along with a lot of sort of convenient approaches that, you know, push them along in their direction. so i think incompetence might be a little bit generous. >> laura: so you think the accounting error was done on purpose? that's, you know, that's fraud if they're doing that? >> it's just smelly it's possible there's something going on and there were mistakes made but that's pretty huge, that's about the size of the huge military commitment that germany just made. $3 billion even for the pentagon is a lot of money. >> laura: now, elbridge, we have another broken promise from the biden people. u.s. and its allies plan to provide ukraine as you said with the f16 fighter jets but then it was just a couple months ago, as you and i were talking about at the time, that they said this wouldn't be happening. they got a lot of pressure, did they not, from the defense

industry and the "generals" to bring those planes over to ukraine. what do you make of this at this point? >> i think the problem is really real and i wrote about this with my good friend and ally alex from the washington post yesterday. this notion we're not prioritizing ukraine over taiwan is false and not just democrats making the point but a lot of republicans we have to grabble with reality we're not getting taiwan the weapons they need and taiwan is not doing its part. but milley said getting weapons to taiwan will save more men and service women than ukraine. the most important thing that's going to happen is it's going to happen over china and the chinese are preparing. there's every day a drum beat of evidence that beijing is preparing for conflict. i mean, they're locking down their economy, in some ways preventing information from getting out, they're building up their forces and we're trying to say, you know -- and then look

at the g-7 summit, what's number one, ukraine's top of the agenda not a sha or taiwan and they he cancelled plans with leaders and that tells you what you need to know. that's not what's in america's interest we need to prioritize china and the taiwanese need to get focused and they're not if they want to save their necks, they need to do their part. >> laura: and japan needs to help too. >> japan, too. >> laura: if china's a threat japan needs to start paying up. elbridge great to see you. >> you, too. >> laura: the left pre tends to be the party of women, they put messages like believe all women, they talk about girl power and who could forget hillary's slowing and back in 2016. i'm with her. they're not really with women they can't even define what a woman is. in fact, they're totally stumped by the question. >> can you provide a definition for the word "woman".

>> can i provide a definition? no i'm not a biologist. >> please define for me what is a woman. >> our focus at the department is the to provide equal access to students including students who are lgbtq. >> so you're not going to answer my question. >> we want a specific definition of what a woman is. >> you want a legal definition? >> laura: for them, dylan mulvaney and the men featured in the sports illustrated issue, swim suit issue, they oh bid my what modern woman hood should be. but in the end really this is all political. because if you don't agree with them on every issue, key left wing issue, then they're not with you and they're never going to celebrate you. consider what politico just wrote about ron desantis's wife casey. this was just days, of course, before he's expected to enter the presidential race. they write, she's neither the fawning character she's made out to be nowhere a shakespeareianvillen. she might well be a bit of both.

she can also accentuate even exacerbate her husband's hubris and his paranoia and his vaulting ambition. because those are all traits that they share. wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. whoa. wait, what happened to all that girl power? you know, she's a mom, she's a cancer survivor. she's a, you know, former female professional in the media business. they must have used all their celebratory language up on jill biden. couple of headlines over the years about jill, the same publication, by the way, that just trashed casey desantis, jill biden, the ultimate secret santa. jill biden, untraditional, unapologetic. how jill biden helped joe get to yes on running for reelection at 80. she is the not so secret weapon behind her husband. oh, and if that didn't take you

to the vomit orium here's more. >> joe biden and his cheerleader jill biden. >> closest advisor and confident. >> not just the first lady but close friend and advisor. >> dr. biden, the hope ambassador, if you will. >> laura: oh, that's right, dr. biden. always remember the doctor. i wonder why casey desantis didn't get that same treatment or even melania trump, they hated melania. the left doesn't support women, they never will. they support women who toe the liberal line. and if you stray, if you're truly an independent thinker, you're going to have your female card revoked and they'll probably just toss it over to mulvaney. >> all right, before we go, a little update on a story we brought you this week about homeless vets being displaced from hotels so illegals can move in, turns out the group behind the claim made it up.

we have no clue why anyone would do such a thing but we'll bring you any updates should they come >> up next the 2024 geo primary is about to get a whole lot more interesting, governor mike huckabee, monica crowley have all the details and they're next.

. >> laura: next week is set to be probably the most monumental yet in the 2024 gop primary. senator tim scott is expected to announce as early as monday and the affable south carolina senator has the financial backing of oracle billionaire larry ellison he's already pumped in 35 mull box into a super pack of scott's between 2020 and 2022. and likely overshadowing scott's into the race a name everybody's waiting for florida governor ron desantis. this week has been kind of a tough one for the florida governor as he's seen some of the candidates he's supported lose elections and of course his conflicts with disney are intensifying. but despite the bumps this week, desantis is poised to announce next week. the new york times is reporting that he's all but declared his presidential candidacy on thursday afternoon telling donors and supporters on a call that only three credible candidates were in a race, biden, trump and him. and that only he would be able to win the general.

desantis also told donors, i think the voters want to move on from biden. they just want a vehicle they can get behind. there's just too many voters that don't view trump as that vehicle. here now is former republican arkansas governor mike huckabee and former trump assistant secretary monica crowley. monica, aside from, of course, desantis and trump and scott, chris christie is teasing a run. but back to desantis. i mean, his argument i think is going to be, we love trump, we loved his policies, but i can win this. and he said republicans aren't in the mood for losing anymore. what do you this i about that argument? >> i think that is a legitimate argument but i think the piece of the puzzle that's missing is the republican base is now an america-first base and they don't want any kind of establishment candidate. they want someone who's going to champion the american people and america's interest around the world as president trump did.

so the challenge for governor desantis as the challenge for every other republican getting into this race is that if the republican base has the choice between the, oh, gee, america first candidate donald trump, and somebody else, they're going to go with the og. they're going to go with donald trump. i also think laura that donald trump has something that no other candidate can establish, which is an emotional bond with the voters. not political or intellectual. emotional. and that is very tough to overcome. >> laura: an electability has always been, as i said, desantis's sales pitch but is that argument losing any credibility because in the 538 and rcp averages for the 2024 content, the closest desantis has been to trump has been in the double digits. in this recurring they write undercuts desantis message that he can win. but governor isn't it very early? and again people want to, you know, call the race in may of 2023 when the race is in

november of 2024. >> yeah, it's way too early to determine how this is going to shake out. but one of the challenges ron desantis has is that he's going to try to say, look, i'll do the same policies that donald trump did. but, you know, people are going to look at themselves and say, okay, well, he's going to do those same policies, we don't know for sure but we know what donald trump's going to do because he's already done it. i think the authenticity of donald trump and i agree wholeheartedly with what monica said there is a certain emotional connection. when he goes up to the podium he's speaking who have their waffles at the waffle house with bay cop and coffee. he understands the folks who came off the factory floor today. he connects with people that a lot of politicians cannot connect with they don't even know how. i'll support whoever the republican nominee is but i don't see anybody being able to overcome the extraordinary message donald trump has. >> laura: monica you're going to be upset to learn there are certain republicans who feel very underrepresentedd in today's republican primary.

watch. >> i just don't -- there has to be a republican out there, swear to god, there has to be a republican out there that cares about the things that i care about. we've got a $31 trillion national debt. we've got republicans talking about six week abortion bans. but, again, no touch. they take the extreme position that will lead to democrats winning more elections. >> laura: monica, asa hutchinson, mike pence, are they really the alternatives here? could they find a lane or is it the populous party once and for all. >> i mean, with all due respect to them and these are al talented decent people but the reality is, it's donald trump and then everybody else. and nobody should be talking about moderating any positions here. this is a populous party. it is america first. and they're going to have to overcome donald trump which i don't think is going to happen. i think this primary is essentially over.

>> laura: the biden campaign released a memo detailing a path to victory, governor, and here's a quote from it. well, trust in the media may have eroded, trust in people's personal networks has never been stronger, this is from the campaign chief. she promised the campaign will engage early and often with its traditional base of supporters among women as well as black american and asian voters and young people who didn't turn out for the 2022 midterms. governor huckabee, how do republicans counter this plan? they're going to have a lot of money and they are good at getting the vote out early and good at doing the ballot harvesting. >> yeah, i mean their attitude is vote early and vote often and they're good at that. we all understand it. but let's be very clear. when joe scarborough says this party, the republicans are radical, they're extreme. i want to say who are the people that want to take a baby out of the mother's womb at the point of birth and end the baby's life. that's pretty radical. that's extreme.

who believes that open borders are okay? that walking away from a commitment to a country in afghanistan and the people there and leaving just millions of dollars of hardware on the table for the terrorists to take. that's pretty extreme. if joe wants to talk extremeity he needs to look at the biden-run white house and the democrats, the crazies that we've seen in congress this week, and we ought to say, yeah, if our contrast is what we believe and what they believe, let's put that on the table for the american public to see. i believe we win every day of the woke and twice on sunday. >> laura: got to get to 270. remember that, 270. governor and monica great to see you both. have a great weekend. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> laura: these travelers are demanding new accommodations from the airlines. plus i grant raymond his three wishes, of course it's follies and that's next. some risks. with type 2 diabetes you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. even at your a1c goal, you're still at risk ...which if ignored could bring you here...

contributor raymond arroyo. all right raymond, a few weeks ago you brought us the story of a plus-sized traveller demanding action from the airlines. you have a big update. >> airlines have gone too far. they've been squeezing more and more passengers into planes creating dangerous conditions. and disproportionately restraining fat and disabled passengers. with that being said it's time to take action now. >> now, laura, that lady is advocating for free seats to accommodate her size, but a new plus size tik toker, big, curvy olivia has shared a video now taken down arguing that small plane aisles are discriminatory toward her. she said she can't fit down the aisle and she wants the airlines to expand them to make it easier for bigger travellers. your reaction to this. i'll let you take first shot. >> laura: well, they are a little narrow. i mean, i sometimes have to go sideways down some of those aisles. >> yeah. >> laura: but, i mean, we have

to pa extra for luggage, right, when you bring luggage on, don't you, if you check an extra, they weigh it and stuff. wasn't it in one of our books, maybe we have to even it all out. the overall weight of luggage and person has to be part of the ticket price. i don't know how to do this. >> the problem is if you expand the aisle much further you're going to have to take seats out and i guess we'll all roll around on the floor of the plane. all these airlines already accommodate big people there are pretty large people flying. but if you're at the point where it's a double extender belt to get on the plane maybe it's time to take a bus or boat it's not practical to be in the air i guess. okay laura. >> laura: go ahead. >> i'm rubbing my lamp you what that means. >> laura: ray's three wishes. >> okay. >> laura: let me hear them. >> my first wish laura is that they would institute a dress code for the entire united states capitol just so this

wouldn't happen. a u.s. senator should not look like a homeless college student who borrowed a girlfriend's hoodie in between bong hits. at least wear pants for goodness' sake. and all that external sloppiness leads to this. >> we cannot let reckless republicans hold the economy as a hostage. an unelected supreme court justice will try to blow up our economy, that's on them if they, if they judge on that. >> as if to ridicule the whole country laura, fetterman posted a picture of himself at a capitol building court yard. now senator fetterman. >> laura: total slob. >> you are not on your back deck. put a jacket on and get to work. this is the people's house. i'm sorry. >> laura: is he unable to button at this point? or is a tie impossible? can we not tie a tie? at some point, let's just be honest about what this is?

it's easier to just, you know, pull on whatever's fallen on the floor next to your bed than it is to occasionally go to dry cleaner, occasionally have a clean shirt, put it on. it's just easier. so just show up in a pair of commends and like some old sweat socks. just get rid of everything else, just depends and sweat socks and sand next to your fellow senators s i'm so sick of, slob. >> it's the people's house, show up and be clean. i'm sorry, you look like a slob. >> laura: it's disgusting. >> my second wish is that ai would stop trying to show us what ideal people look like. this week the bow liam i can't project asked artificial intelligence to come up with the perfect male and female bodies. first off since this is an algorithm it doesn't know what the ideal body would be, why do we care what it considers perfect body. into these are perfect comic

book bodies but harder to find in nature. secondly we all know because she's told us so often what the true beauty ideal is. i like lizzo. she makes everybody feel better, laura. >> laura: what's happening there with the -- i'm not following what that video is. >> maybe it's a warm-up of the thighs before a couldn't certify i don't know. >> laura: oh, a massage. >> she posted something about hips, i don't get it. but finally laura, i wish president biden would stop auditioning to replace his anamatronic of disney hall of the presidents. but this video released was pretty convincing i have to say. >> it would be devastating for the whole country frankly the world if there was a recession, we would find everything changed, our economy would crater, it would have a profound impact on how we live our lives.

>> that's more fluid and less mechanical than the real biden. i mean, look, the hands move fluidly. >> laura: oh, yeah. you don't have to do the jump cuts either. >> no. >> laura: raymond can he not get out more than one sentence at a time? apparently not. >> i have to say that figure, the head looks like it's been lunk a bit they need to blow that up a tiny bit. maybe the disney engineers though can help the real president navigate stairs. he fought a losing battle against the flights at the g-7 today. 0. >> laura: wouldn't it be something if he fell right into his host's arms that would have been a beautiful moment. >> with biden at the g-7, it's practically gofundme 6 and a quarter. a trip to disney would be good for him though because he's been living in fantasy world for a long time. >> laura: it's a small world getting smaller. raymond your three wishes i'm granting them. >> thank you.

>> laura: the country's largest children's hospital caught lying after it said it would stop providing gender affirming care providing gender affirming care to minors. chris roof 0 has the proof and he's here readkiy to expose allf it. that's next. these kids order the lobster mac 'n cheese! what if she wants to play golf? we're going to have to outlaw golf. absolutely no golf in this house! not under my roof! since we started working with empower, all of our financial questions have been answered, so we don't have to worry. so you never- nope. always part of the plan. join 17 million people and take control of your financial future to empower what's next. start today at empower.com

>> laura: back in march of last year the country's largest children's hospital announced it would stop providing so-called

gender-affirming care for minors. that included providing puberty blockers. this was mandated by the state and it was considered a win for concerned parents and their children. but, behind the scenes, things at texas children's didn't really change. disturbing new whistleblower documents obtained by my next guest chris rufo revealed that the hospital never stopped these, quote, unquote, treatments. now take a look at this, just three days after the hospital said it was stopping one doctor surgically inserted a drug delivery implant on an 11 year old, a female to male transgender child. now, not only are these procedures, performing them, dangerous, but these people don't give a riff about what the parents think. here's what the of the hospital psychologists earlier this year. >> mother asked me what about my parental rights, my rights as a parent. ma'am, you do have many parental

rights but i have to adhere to my own ethical standards as a physician. and i know the best thing to do for this child, your child is less likely to both attempt and die by suicide if we use supportive terminology with them. >> laura: joining me now is the man who exposed all of this chris rufo a senior fellow at the manhattan institute and contributing editor for city journal. chris what more can you tell us here? i mean an 11 year old getting some kind of hormonal delivery device implanted in her? >> yeah. it's really shocking and what's happening is that at texas children's they announced they would stop doing these procedures and then they continued to do so en masse in secret on kids that were 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 years old. it starts with puberty blockers, such as sufrelin that stops puberty and then 95 to 98% of those kids use cross sex hormones, either estrogen or

testosterone becoming the different sex and the sexual characteristics and then about 50% of those females get some kind of surgery. those are numbers that, from the medical literature. so they're putting these kids through this permanent medicalsation pipeline and they were doing it really by bullying parents and then by keeping it a secret, not just from the public but from attorney general ken paxton and the voters of the state of texas. >> laura: chris i keep saying who are these parents? i mean who are these people? but we reached out to the hospital and they gave us a statement saying, "our mission is to provide high quality care for all patients throughout the policy debate surrounding the gender of medicine our healthcare professionals are always and will always continue to prioritize the care of our patients within the bounds of the law. well, a's a lot of words. what does that tell you, chris? >> i mean it tells me that they're going to try to wait this one out but that's not going to work in this case because the records that i've

obtained are so horrific, they're so concerning. this is going to be a i story that increases the pressure on texas children's and just this morning the attorney general of texas ken paxton announced an official investigation as to what's going on at this child sex change clinic at texas children's. so they can try to put out the pr statements and dance around it but there is a serious investigation coming and we're going to find out exactly what they were doing, exactly what kind of drugs they were implanting in these young children, and exactly the scope and the scale of their child's sex change program. >> laura: you obtained another video and this one is of a hospital pediatrician discussing whether they should, you know, reveal affirmed names in front of parents. >> i often ask patients by themselves if there's a name they use privately and not every

person usesend safe environment at home and it may not be safe to use in felon of family members or other individuals so asking in private probably the easiest way to go. >> laura: chris, i can't imagine that's not against texas medical ethics as minors are, you know, under the care of their parents. to keep secrets from parents about what minors are doing, that is wild, if not illegal. >> it's, it's very scary. you know, as a parent i would be horrified if my pediatrician was talking behind closed doors about my kids' sexuality encourage them to have a new name new pronouns to get on puberty blockers and hormones. these resist fanatics and my sources inside texas children's say the doctors performing these procedures are absolutely committed to this ideology. they want to push as many kids

through as possible. for them, it's almost like a religious commitment. this is the sacrifice that they're offering, and it's all in pursuit of some kind of vague medically mediated social justice mission. >> laura: chris, sauer doing great work. >> yeah. >> laura: thank you for exposing this and we hope texas puts an end to this now. thank you. >> thank you. >> laura: there's more trouble for michelle obama's supposedly really healthy juice. the last bite, or gulp, explains. ♪ tter... together. burger and fries... soup and salad. like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. with voya, considering all your financial choices together can help you make smarter decisions. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected.
