next week, sean will have two audience shows, on wednesday and thursday. tickets are free, just go to hannity.com to register. you can read my column at amac.us and keep up with me at tammy bruce.locals.come. sean will be back on monday. have a great weekend, everyone. ♪ >> laura: hey everyone, i'm laura ingraham and this is a special edition of the ingraham angle from washington tonight. the explosive story of the irs whistleblower about the hunter biden investigation, it's really instructive for many reasons, and i think chief among them is this impressive expanse of of the joe biden protection racket. because this really is a joe biden scandal. and it, of course, includes the media that waited hours and in some cases until today to even

comment on this scandal. now, the first tactic, it's no big deal. >> this whistleblower's saying that the irs wanted actually tougher charges for hunter biden. >> it's not unusual for investigators and prosecutors to have disagreements before they, you know, as you go through these cases. >> how many times do they have disagreements along the way? >> all the time. >> all the time. >> yeah. >> all the time. this is part of the process. this is the way that it works. >> and it's what we want. >> laura: this is what we want. well, that's the only honest thing said in that exchange. that of course refuses to acknowledge the most incredible claim of all that joe was in the room where it happened when hunter was demanding money for his family from a chinese businessman, all ccp a provshgsd of course. here's how they covered that. >>the we have not verified it. it's based on a what's app, we don't know the verification on that, we don't know if huntr was

exaggerating talking to someone if it was he if it was authentic when help said my father's here with me. >> abc has not authenticated the message and the white house says there's no here. >> laura: why not reach out to the because and ask hunter biden directly was this your what's app message or was it not? there is a freedom of information act a possibility here, certainly for journalists. i'll tell you why they don't. because they don't want to admit that this issue is about the big guy. ditto for the washington post, the new york times. absent from their little write-ups was a line saying, "we reached out to the white house for comment." that wasn't in there. but joe's puppeteers extend well beyond the media and all their enablers to more powerful organs like the doj. now, among the more lunatic

charges, because this is lunacy when you think about it laid out by the whistleblower was where he described that justice had no interest in investing any leads about the big guy whatsoever. now, we wanted to question hunter biden's associate rob walker about an e-mail that said 10 held by h for the big guy, but the ausa lesley wolfe interjected and said she didn't want to ask questions about dad, saying there's no specific criminality to that line of questioning. garland was asked about the allegations today. of course he dismissed them and then predictably closed with a well-worn bromide. >> some have chosen to attack the integrity of the justice department and its components and employees by claiming that we do not treat like cases alike. this constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to american democracy and essential

to the safety of the american people. nothing could be further from the truth. >> laura: now, the irony in garland's lame little warning is obvious. the doj media loop meant to shield the president is among the most democracy-destroying arrangements imaginable. late this afternoon after all the incoming, the white house did respond through the white house counsel's office saying the president was not in business with his son. hmm. as we have also said many times before, the justice department makes decisions in its criminal investigations independently. we didn't say he was in business with him. you see how they're parsing words there. what the counsel's office refused to answer was whether joe had ever spoken with his son about his overseas business dealings. now, you can't count on direct answers from the white house. we know that. but you can count on the doj to

provide perpetual protection. joining me now byron york chief political analysis and chris bedford editor for the common sense society. byron, i thought that line from the white house counsel's office, as a former white collar criminal defense attorney, that line saying he was not in business with his son, ha ha, go ahead byron. what does that reassure itself. >> that's why they have a word called lawyerly. that's very lawyerly. remember, that joe biden has, over the years, denied repeatedly that he knew anything about his son's businesses, about the foreign, shady connections that took place when joe biden was the vice-president and after he was the vice-president, and continued perhaps until he became the actual president. the what's app message you're

talking about, july 30, 2017, that's the biggest piece of new evidence that we've seen in quite a long time. and hunter biden simply says, he's threatening this chinese business associate saying if i don't get what i want from you right now, dad is right here and he knows a lot of people and it's going to be really bad for you. you know, it's the strongest piece of evidence we have yet that joe biden was aware and was there. and if he wasn't, if hunter biden was lying, if there's some other circumstance, then we need to know that. >> laura: chris, hunter's attorney chris clarke released a statement today, never on camera of course saying any verifiable words or actions of my client in the midst of a horrible addiction are solely his own and have no connection to anyone in his family. chris, he is a victim. you knew they were going to play this game. it's the drugs that did it. this wasn't real.

i wasn't at my dad's house where apparently photos, you know, actually show him that he was there. what do you make of this? >> and it certainly was connected to his bank account because just a few weeks after that message was sent, over $5 million was transferred from the chinese company he was talking to, our accounts associated with it to accounts associated with hunter so it absolutely worked. he was in business for this. i mean, you see the department of justice now redacting information, the non-classified document that they were forced to share with congress that showed examples of actual referenced examples of actual voice recordings of not just hunter biden talking to the president of burisma but also allegedly joe biden himself on two different occasions talking to the president of burisma about these actual accounts they had. washington post and new york times, they finally tackled the story but they tackled it in a way designed to take it down. you have multiple irs agents coming out and saying the doj was stopping this investigation, they wouldn't let it go forward, they were blocking the u.s.

attorney, everything they're saying is a lie, and here are multiple examples. and both the post and the new york times took those, some specific examples and said well, we don't actually know where joe biden is sitting at that moment. that's not the can accusation even though it's a bombshell the whole thing is the doj shielding the president and so is the media. >> laura: the white house press secretary today went back to the podium to try to play a little defense herself. watch. >> you've stated that the president stands by his comment from the 2020 campaign that he never once discussed his son's overseas business dealings with his son and you stood at that podium and you affirmed that. do you stand by your -- >> what i will say is nothing has chad. nothing has changed and i will leave it there. >> laura: byron, they need to realize this -- i mean, is this enough at this stage? i mean a lot has changed even if, you know, we have the reporters like andrea mitchell who says we can't authenticate

these what's app messages. how about pursue the story? okay, pursue the story. >> well, you know, white houses can exit in bubbles, and certainly, as of tuesday, the white house seemed to think that the whole hunter biden thing was over and closed. he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors. they dropped the gun thing. and everything's fine. and, you know, 48 hours, yom come republicans with this evidence that they have gathered, and it is by no means all of the evidence that they have got. so, you know, the idea the president biden could actually believe that he's over this thing, that he's gotten past this thing, i find that actually believable. the white house has not yet really figured out that another house -- another party controls the house of representatives and it's not going to go away. >> laura: well, this was an amazing week and also another week when the american media, the corporate media, has utterly

embarrassed itself and the way that they covered this, or didn't cover it, or didn't pursue it. it is -- i mean, it's why -- this is, you know, all that's going down. their credibility is shot. byron, chris, have a great weekend. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> laura: former ncaa swimmer riley gaines, remember, she's been an outspoken opponent of men competing in women's sports, she was on capitol hill this week giving emotional testimony. >> in addition to being forced to give up our awards and our titles and our opportunities, the ncaa forced me and my female swimmers to swim -- to share a locker room with thomas a 6'4" 22-year-old male equipped with and exposing male genitalia. let me be clear about this. we were not forewarned we would be sharing a locker room. no one asked for our consent and we did not give our consent. we were forced to take off our swim suit in front of a man who was doing the exact same thing. >> laura: wow. and another swimmer, n.c.

state's kiely says she actually changed at a storage closet at the ncaa finals instead of being subjected to nah in the locker room. joining me now exclusively is kiely a long 30 time all american and former n.c. state swimming star and penny nance for america who does great work on this. kiely, i was a college athlete. i never had to change in a storage room and i never in my wildest dreams would have thought that something like this would be hoisted upon someone like you, top of your sposhths incredible competitor. tell us what was going on there and what made you push into that storage room? >> absolutely. thank you for having me. like you said, the 2022 ncaas was something that i never expected to ever experience, and

it was, it was horrible to go through that. at the best meet of my life, the most prestigious meet in collegiate swimming, women were being forced to change completely out of their clothing into these tight suits that take up to 40 minutes sometimes to get on, and the way that i handle it was to change in the storage closet. and people have joked with me about how this gender confusion stuff forced me into a closet, but, honestly, i was just so thankful and so, so thankful that i had at least that little bit of proves's even if it was in that closet. >> laura: was there any attempt to be, you know, to cover up? >> i actually was lucky enough to not be in the same quarters at the exact same time but even when i was having that experience of changing in the locker room when thomas wasn't in there, i was just constantly on edge. i was completely covering myself with my parka, with my towel just in case he happened to walk in on me while i was trying to

get into my practice and racing suits. >> laura: penny, here's what your old pal senator dick durbin had to say, another big champion of women, about the rhetoric coming from us conservatives. watch. >> our children are listening and they are in danger. in fact, today transgender youth are among the most at risk of homelessness, depression and death by suicide. so when these young people, who are already struggling, hear politicians amplify hateful rhetoric that denies their very existence, what message does it send? >> laura: so, penny, by discussing this, we're committing rhetorical violence, apparently. that's what their argument is. you can't disagree, in other words. >> over two-thirds of americans are in deep agreement with with us, leading in those polls are african american and women and independents, by the way. and so any presidential candidate should be aware, this

is a key issue. this is a direct violation of title nine, this is cal harassment. they did not consent to be naked in front of a man and they didn't consent for him to be naked in front of them. so i think there's lawsuits that are going to a bound, concerned women for america have been on this for five years. >> laura: wow, you saw where it was going. >> we're so proud of these young women that are leading on this, you know. it's very courageous for them to take a firm stance. >> laura: kylee, you swam directly in competition against lea thomas, yeah? >> yes, we both swam the hundred free and i was beat by him. >> laura: how much did he beat you by? >> i think he was seventh or eighth and i was 13th or 14th. i can't remember the exact placing. by a few places. >> laura: ky lee and penny thank you very much for joining us we really appreciate it.

>> thank you laura. >> laura: the largest public policies of conservative and christian activists going on right now just down the street so we sent a producer and wanted to go down there and ask folks what's on their manned why make the trek there. that plus coalition ralph fried in moments. stay there.

♪ >> laura: thousands of evangelicals are gathering in washington this weekend for a huge conference attended by almost every republican presidential candidate. it's called the faith and freedom coalition's road to the majority policy conference and we decided why not, send one of our producers there to find out why it's so important for a candidate to embrace this movement. is it important at all? does the voting block even matter anymore? and why is this persistently felt like such a threat to the left. here's what they said. >> the left has already demonstrated what happens when you left them have control of anything. they don't have direction. they don't have a foundation. and when you don't have a foundation, you can't build anything. >> they see that we have a real voice of truth and they feel threatened by us. so many of the things that the left is moving forward, their agenda is so immoral and so anti

biblical that we're a threat to them when we in kindness say we're not going to stand for some of this crazy ideology you have. >> the best they can do is try to separate us. >> why do you think it is a so important for the gop to embrace the evangelical. >> we cannot let family go down the drain. they want to destroy everything that has to do with family. >> we have to save the family and the family value is the act of the american mission. >> this is a country that was founded on christian principles and every form of cultural craziness that we're seeing right now is an attack not just on america but an attack on evangelical traditions, the bible, the nuclear family, you name it. >> how important do you think it is that the conservatives of the republican party continue to embrace the evangelical base. >> i think they're intertwined. the conservative base comes from the religious base which is

infused the constitution, the founding of our nation came from that. most of the leaders and the founders of the nation, we're all christians. >> so you still have hope for america, right? >> oh, my goodness. i have so much, so much hope for america. >> the way we take back america is by taking back that god-given right and that faith in god that our country is founded where everybody, no matter who you are, has the opportunity to succeed, be a blessing to their family, be a blessing to their community and move this country forward. >> we are finally at a point where we can no longer put our head in the stand and pretend like the things that are happening right outside of our doors aren't occurring anymore. we didn't start the culture war but i think we can and we will win it. >> laura: you know who they are the former republicans dining out on being former republicans who want you to think into the emerging republican party isn't just destroying conservatism but it's actually destroying religion itself. >> trumpers have not only taken over and twisted and distorted

the republican party, they've done it to conservatism and they've done it to evangelicalism. >> that's the most personally painful thing to me to see not just the damage to the country, but the damage to the faith, which i think is almost incabbingable. >> joining me is ralph leader of the faith coalition. ralph i've heard attacks on the kind of anti establishment part of the gop, i like to call them the reagan republicans. >> right. >> laura: but now destroying religion itself. >> you know, the only thing that these christians are guilty of committing is citizenship. that's the only crime they've committed. i mean, the reality is, laura, that throughout american history, citizens have engaged in the civic process. they've lobbied on behalf of legislation that reflected their values. they've gotten involved in political parties. they've supported the candidate

of their choice and every great social reform movement in the history of this country, from anti slavery to suffrageism to the southern howe movement to the temp reps movement to the civil rights movement to today's pro life movement flowed out of the churches based on a moral fervor and their reading of the scripture and what they believed was morally right and wrong. >> laura: what they're combatting at, ralph, is certain candidates are more flawed characters than others. >> yeah. >> laura: and the lunch toward donald trump and his personal flaws, as if we don't all have them, that any evangelical, i think that's what pete waner is getting at in that clip, any evangelical would consider supporting him have completely lost their morgue. >> you mean like martin luther king working with linden johnson to pass the civil rights act. what they want is for christian

to stay in their stained glass ghetto and they don't want to get their hands dirty with the reality of politics. >> laura: of governing. >> exactly. because the reality is no one's perfectly clean. we're all sinners saved by grace. if reality if you go back and look at the 2016 primaries, donald trump was not the first choice of the majority of evangelicals. but once he won the gnome nation and you were confronted with either him or hillary clinton, filling the vacancy of the untimely death of anthony scalia, it was not a hard call. it may have been difficult in some ways -- >> laura: what what other republican addressed the pro life annual march for life in person. >> what other presidential candidate in american history ever released a list of 21 jurists and said if you elect me president i will replace scalia with one of these 21 and kept the promise. >> laura: right and actually followed through. >> and had we followed the advice of the critics laura

hillary clinton would have filled that vacancy. >> laura: they would prefer right now, if waner and those guys could choose, whether it was donald trump, i bet they would say the same about desantis actually, but trump versus biden, they would pick biden, no doubt about it. >> the good news is, iss that 40-50 million evangelical and pro life faithful roman catholics rejected the advice. they overcame their concerns about trump, they voted for him, they elected him, he appointed not one, not two but three supreme court justices and today rowe is on the ash heap of history. >> laura: they think they've run with some success on the abortion issue and i think in some of those polls in michigan, that abortion issue did help them. >> it did. but here's why. because the republicans put their head in the sand and thought they didn't have to address it. they thought all they had to do was talk about inflation and gas prices and not talk about the life issue. you can't do that. when you have a decision like

dobbs that repeals a 50-year precedent, and all of a sudden in your polling it's the one, two, or three issue for voters. you have to drees it, you have to lean into it and you have to make an argument for why your opponent is an extremist. >> laura: i'm very pro life. >> as am i. >> laura: if this election is about abortion -- it has to be economy, inflation, the border. to me those are the top three issues with a pro life candidate then you'll win. if the focus is abortion that's a dream for the democrats. >> with only one exception in my career, that was 2004, the election is all about the economy. but laura, republican candidates and the republican party can no longer be afraid of their own shadow on this issue. >> laura: absolutely and the democrats, they're so far left they've left america. ralph great to see you, have a wandsful conference this weekend. >> thank you laura. >> laura: india's prime minister gets a front row seat to biden's blunders and ray gets another three wishes. of course it's friday follies and of course it's next.

>> kids and families harmed by this republican frenzy. >> almost invading school districts in order to destroy the education that black and brown and tan and lgbt kids

really need. >> i think this is an unbelievably damaging generational -- >> generational. >>-- harm because of the cynical nature of one political party. >> laura: that's right, nicole. but that harm is actually coming from the left. now, it's something we on the angle have been saying for years, that democrats are not putting our kids first, no matter how many times pelosi says, "do it for the children." and most, of course, they are doing will and has irreparably harmed children. the lockdowns the cdc revealed youth whom size and suicides hit a 20 year high in 2021. another report from the cdc said earlier this year overdose deaths spiked amid the pandemic. and the new test scores just released from the assessment of national progress shows math and reading scores for 13-year-olds have hit the lowest levels in

decades. the last time scores were this bad, by the way, was 1990 for math and 2004 for reading. joining me now tony kanet a former science teacher and education policy advisor and abe hamilton the third, father of six and general counsel of the american family association. tony, now, i know that you saw this firsthand with your students. tell me what you've seen, let's say from, you know, several ex number of years ago to today, the change. what is it? >> well, a change is the exact word for it. when i started in education, i was encouraged to make sure that my students were learning how to read and write and the sciences, to make sure they were actually growing in their education and then i moved to a school close for indianapolis and by the time the pandemic hit i wasn't allowed to collect homework. i wasn't allowed to ensure my students were learning materials. i wasn't allowed to grade things

and i was expected to pass those students on to the next grade level. and it was horrifying, because my students weren't anymore prepared to participate in tenth or junior science rather than when they were in my class. and that's unfortunately become the standard in the american public education system. >> laura: well, abraham, you know, you decided you couldn't take it anymore and you're the father of six children. what did you do? >> yeah, my wife and i prayerfully made the decision to resort to what the founders of our country did to educate their children, which was to do that from our home, looking into a lot of the research and the things that are coming out with the naep scores as you mentioned, a lot of this has been the product for quite some time, to utilize the education people they call them progressives but i call them regressives because they don't do anything. they contribute to really impacting the nation's output by

causing the children to suffer from a lack of true education. what you see, the trillions of dollars that have been poured into the educational system yet the outcomes are consistently manifesting in this direction and as tony pointed out rightly their focus is on anything but reading writing and arithmetic, it's more than coincidental it's by design by those who have a strangle hold on the education system in our country. >> laura: what else, because this decline in attention span, decline in performance, clarity of thought and all of that, that's been going on for some time. what other factors contribute to it? like, perhaps, drug legalization efforts nationwide, has that had an effect? >> there has. according to a recent study by the washington post, there is a considerably pre frontal cortex thinning, a courtical thinning that occurs when adolescents decide to kind of flirt with drug use. whenever you're an adolescent and you start messing around

with things that have now been deemed perfectly safe for societal consumption, your brain, which is developing at the time, does not see that as something that you can tamper with. it messes with your end insystem your nervous system and those lasting effects are not just shown in the classroom where it can be attention expand how you react emotional distribution and regulation, but it can also, of course, cause lasting effects throughout the entire life. you can't flip a switch and reset your brain and nervous systems. >> laura: no especially the developing brains. abraham randi weingarten the head of the teacher's union has her own theory why things are the way they are. >> the scores went down because of covid and i thought all of us were wrong when we said there was no learning loss. of course there was learning loss. of course there was a mental health crisis. what covid did was it created huge loneliness and dislocation.

both fauci and walensky are being demonized in a way that's wrong. they were trying to do the best they could. >> laura: abe, is that good enough? i mean, european countries, certain european countries really didn't ever shut down, but we had so many states, mostly democrat-run states, of course, that kept it going and going and going, and now the victims are the children. >> yeah, and to say that this is because of covid is just completely disingenuous. i'm from the hood in new orleans louisiana. there have been metal detectors in the public schools in my neighborhoods long before covid, the inability to have textbookses and utilize them in classrooms was long before covid it's just a convenient excuse. what we are a reeling from is unfortunately a designed plan to utilize education to create, as chester fear said in 1972 an international child of the future where reading writing and arithmetic takes a back seat to

create social activists in a a particularly leftist organization. >> it's being a good global citizen. you hear that in school. i have school-age kids, but i hear that a lot. >> it's not a community involvement like you and i were raised with where you make sacrifices to make sure your community has what it needs to get better. this is a new kind of community that is based order what kind of sexual assault you have, what kind of color of your skin you have, and the many oppressions that you suffer through. and instead of focusing on reading, writing, math and history, we have started focusing all our time with our students on how they can be activists toward racial equity, toward celebrating pride month all year round, making sure we are trying to one up each other on this fantastic pyramid of social justice and no wonder the kids aren't learning, they're too busy to learn how to cry over a gender study's degree. it's pathetic. >> laura: well, everyone's a victim today. tony and abe great to see both of you.
