tv   The Ingraham Angle  FOX News  January 16, 2025 4:00pm-5:00pm PST

4:00 pm
slow heart beat due to the temperatures. animal related to another dog brought in earlier by good samaritans. knew where the vet clinic was after emergency treatment and intensive ware care, that puppy successfully survived while his mother stayed by his side. hown that? little nice animal story. tomorrow on "special report," we're awaiting word from the u.s. supreme court on that deadline for the sale of tiktok from chinese ownership. remember if you can't cousin us live set your dvr follow me on instagram and x at bret baier. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight, that's it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. "the ingraham angle" starts in just seconds. ♪ >> laura: good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. as always, thank you for spending some time with us. all right, this just in.
4:01 pm
china's hacking of u.s. systems including sensitive infrastructure, water, our energy supplies, now include the computer of the u.s. treasury secretary janet yellen. many this as incoming trump administration folks are reportedly mulling ways to keep china owned tiktok operating in the united states. more on this and a lot more with congressman jim jordan in moments. but, first, bitter biden, bye-bye. that's the focus of tonight's angle. ♪ now farewell addresses by our presidents tend to be at their core optimistic. >> my friends, we did it. we weren't just marking time, we made a difference. we made the city stronger, we made the city freer. and we left her in good hands. as for me, i will leave the presidency more idealistic, more full of hope than the day i arrived. >> i have confidence in the
4:02 pm
promise of america because i know the character of our people. >> i leave this stage tonight even more optimistic about this country than when we started. >> laura: got goose bumps watching all of that again but then there is biden. >> i want to warn the country of some things that have given me great concern. this is a dangerous con -- that's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of very few ultra wealthy people. and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. today, an oligarchy is taking shape in america extreme wealth power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy. >> laura: even the eagle on the flalg behind him wanted to fly away at that point. i mean, first of all, president biden's speech writers must know that most of these oligarchs in waiting live in areas run by democrats. new york city, the bay area, l.a., and chicago. and why didn't we hear about
4:03 pm
this oligarchy which most billionaires were actively supporting obama in 2008 and biden in 2020? i never heard biden complain about george soros? reed hoffman? howard schultz, michael bloomberg, tom steyer. i wonder why. and when mark zuckerberg and his wife kicked in $400 million in grants to help swing the vote for biden in key battleground states? i don't recall biden complaining. but now that some of the biggest tech ceos are working with trump instead of the democrats. it is suddenly a threat to democracy? he really does think we're stupid. it's ludicrous. because we all know that when billionaires did biden's bidding, he loved them. but when they are underwriting trump's inauguration there is suddenly a new dark force descending on america. >> americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and
4:04 pm
disinformation. enabling the reduce of power. the free press is crumbling. disappearing. social media is giving up on fact-checking. the truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit. >> an avalanche of misinformation? like that of the virus that came out of the wet market or like the vaccine stopped transmission and infection of coast? or like hunter biden's laptop wasn't real? or that don trump jr. was a russian agent? because, if anyone was guilty of pushing misinformation, it was biden and his brigade. and as for supposed worries about the free press, this from a guy whose administration both facebook into censoring critics. >> basically pushed us and said, you know, anything that says that vaccines might have side effects, you basically need to take down. basically, these people from the
4:05 pm
biden administration would call up our team and scream at them and curse. >> laura: they were screaming and cursing. so biden has no problem with the billionaire class. he only sees them as a threat when they don't take his orders. and perhaps i think maybe the funniest part of the speech last night was when biden lamented the rise of the new robin bear errorrer. >> we the consequences all across america. we have seen it before. more than a century ago the american people stood up to the robert barrons back then and busted the trusts. they didn't punish the wealthy. they just made the wealthy play by the rules everyone else had to. >> laura: first, the wealthy paying a lion share of our tax burden already. second, how can he be upset about concentrations of wealth and erosion of the middle class when his policies helped drive this dynamic?
4:06 pm
globalization on steroids, unfair trade deals, deindustrialization? all helped ship jobs overseas by the millions. our workings class got stretched and our rich got richer. joe biden supported everything from nafta to china joining the wto. >> riding china is an incredibly positive development for not only china but the united states and the rest of the world. we should hope for the expansion. >> overwhelmingly interest that china grows. >> we talk about china as our competitor. we should be helping. >> laura: yeah. that worked out really well. fbi -- his own fbi director says china is america's biggest threat today. let's not forget the green agenda, inflationary spending. that's hammered all-american workers. even this week we learned that inflation is ticking up again. real median wages are declining.
4:07 pm
and this guy last night is trying to hold himself out as a champion of the little guy when he does that whisper? but biden's oligarchy line made at least one person smile. >> what biden said last night is we're moving toward an oligarchy. do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and so much economic and political power that that is an oligarchy form society? >> well, i would note that they -- president biden gave the presidential medal of freedom to two people who i think would qualify for his oligarchs. >> this is not a condemnation of any one individual. >> what we saw last night by biden was this one last desperate attempt to rewrite the history of the last four years. and, as usual, biden failed. he will be remembered as a weak parenthesis in the age of trump. and the only american president to give up his re-election bid, because of embarrassing debate
4:08 pm
performance. the biden, he is still talking. but the american people have stopped listening that's the angle. breaking just mommy's before our show bloomberg reporting that chinese hackers have intill traited the computers of the u.s. treasury secretary janet yellen and two of her lieutenants. quote, as part of a broader breach of the agency. joining meal now ohio congressman jim jordan, congressman, you need a cough drop? no red die number 2 or 4 in it, right? congressman, first of all, your reaction to this news about china getting into the u.s. treasury secretary's computer? >> it's scary and you think about, you know, treasury secretary of the united states and it reminded me of one of the lines i saw from the nominee, president trump's nominee mr. bessent today when he was talking about china he said because i think one of the senators, democrat senators talked about we are in a clean energy race with china he goes no, we are in an energy race with china. here is a guy focused on the
4:09 pm
facts. this is slightly different area. scary. >> laura: unclassified. they are unclassified only 50 documents. >> yeah. >> laura: i think american people listen to this. they don't believe any of the specifics about this report. because, if china can get in to the computer of the u.s. treasury secretary into our water systems. some of our infrastructure for energy or electricity, what are we doing here? what is this budget paying for in the deep state budget, the military budget, what are we getting for it. >> one of the agencies watching what the chinese are doing what are they doing in the fbi is spending more time looking at pro-life catholics calling them extremists and investigating moms and dads at school board meetings china is up to and how they may be impacting our nation. this is serious and let's hope we can with the trump administration, i think we are going to see something different across the board that's going to be helpful for our country. >> laura: i know you lo big tech. we like tech tiktok popular
4:10 pm
among young people. operated for all intents and purposes by china. bytedance, obviously, is chinese affiliated company. so, should china be able to retain ownership of tiktok, given what we know are glaring national security problems and propaganda issues. >> right. i actually voted for the bill. i struggled. >> laura: it's a law now. it's a u.s. law. >> the free speech aspect of it but then it's also china. >> laura: why does china have free speech rights in the united states? >> great point. >> laura: there is no free speech issue. >> i supported the legislation but i do think the president trump has taken the right approach. is there some time frame where we can figure out is there another owner who can come in and purchase it so it's not owned the parent company is not some chinese company. that's the right approach. >> laura: american company would totally solve the problems. the resistance 2.0 is forming and filled with biden's lackeys. form her biden-harris officials will help launch on inauguration
4:11 pm
day a new legal response center to both fight through trump's impending executive orders. now, they are gearing up. it's easy to see them as defeated watching biden last night and flailing at these confirmation hearings. they are just embarrassing themselves one after the other. they have a huge army of lawyers who are going to be descending upon these executive orders one after the other. >> and they did it back in '17 when president trump started to control the border back in '17. they did the same. remember the whole kids in cages bologna they said was president trump. quote cages weren't really cages were from the obama administration. they are going to do the same thing when director homan, when he starts working on repatriating people back, people who have come here illegally. done crimes. people come here illegally been in front of a judge. the judge said you don't qualify under our asylum laws. you know they are going to challenge those and other executive orders he does. we got keep doing what we told the american people we were going to do. i say all the time we make this
4:12 pm
job pretty complicated. pretty simple. tell the folks what you are going to do when you put your name on the ballot. if you get elected go do what you said. president trump is committed to doing that and so are we in the house of representatives. that's how we got to focus. >> laura: politico reporting all this tension between john thune in the senate and mike johnson in the house and saying that this relationship is, you know, has some big troubles and some big hurdles because of different approaches. do you see that? >> no, i don't. i see that the republicans on november-the american people on november 5th said we want republicans to stay in charge of the house. we want republicans running the senate and we want donald trump in the white house. we have a mission, secure the border, bring down inflation and policies on energy and inphysician a. control spending. >> laura: cut spending not control. >> i hear i can'tia. terrific appearance we have to control the increase of spending. >> yeah. well. >> laura: i mean that's washington speak. >> it is washington speak. buff if we can do that. that would be a big change.
4:13 pm
>> laura: that would be positive steps for sure. >> because we got to stop the wemged of these agencies against the american people and censorship. what we are seeing in that area. zuckerberg and elon musk and the changes that have been made there. god bless those embraced the first amendment. >> stop demonetizing different cans on facebook. by the way would you like my jacket? >> my wife said pink. >> laura: time to update, congressman. thank you. >> you bet, thank you. >> laura: all right, the house just passed a critical bill to keep americans safe from illegal aliens by deporting all who are convicted of sex crimes. kind of obvious, right? but how did most democrats react? >> this bill would make it easier to label survivors of domestic violence as perpetrators to make them removable from the country and eliminate existing legal safeguards that protect survivors. this is once again a bill that widens the highway to donald trump's mass deportation plans.
4:14 pm
>> the majority chosen to begin this hearing with a series of bills fear monger and demonize immigrants. >> laura: whopping 145 house democrats voted against this common sense legislation. the bill doesn't instill fear in anyone except for illegal aliens biden let in. who plan on sexually assaulting americans. joining me now, kevin mccarthy, former speaker of the house. mr. speaker, good to see you. now the bill moves to the senate. how do you expect senate democrats to handle this given the reaction among the public to what went down in the house democrat opposition? >> i think the democrats in the senate are going to vote for it. listen to fetterman. i mean fetterman should be the leader of the democratic party. if they ever want to win the majority again. >> laura: don't give them any ideas. that's a good point. >> they are so out of touch. i would expect the democrat to talk like this a year ago, before the election. have they not heard what the voters have said? remember, this isn't throw everybody out who came here
4:15 pm
illegally. >> laura: which frankly most americans want. >> no. you have to sexually assault someone and they still want protection. >> laura: does that not prove what you and i talked about so many times, the shear reaction of this party. >> yes. >> laura: it is illegal i will a i didn't knows before the american people every time even those committing sexual assault. >> i will tell you because i warched on the floor those democrats so progressive they bullied the other democrats they are just weak. >> bully them into losing. they won't win another election if they let down this road. >> teenager players to be but the don't let them another one. >> laura: what do you think about this story that jill biden is angry at nancy pelosi. obviously you were speaker of the house nancy pelosi if you were a democrat she was a successful speaker of the house. and i'm thinking has jill biden not been in politics for 50 years? does she know that nancy pelosi is like really smart and wanted to have her party have a chance
4:16 pm
of winning? what about that odd dynamic there? >> you know that they didn't well. i will tell you something about jill. something i have never seen any other time in the president. she was as much of the president as joe biden was. she would be in meetings you wouldn't think i remember one time i'm sitting back in the dining room and joe says something about taking outside. she turns around no, they don't want to go outside. she was the protector. this was the problem. she knew his weakness. she knew he wasn't up for the job and she kept pushing him because she liked being in the job. how many times did she go overseas to represent him? how many times did she take the travel to represent him when he wasn't mentally capable of doing it? that's okay. because jill would go. >> laura: but she is mad at nancy pelosi? >> because nancy pelosi took that opportunity. >> laura: she saw what was happening. >> exactly she pulled the curtain back. but it was only after the whole america saw it. they all lied the whole time. they would attack me when i
4:17 pm
would walk out and tell the truth. >> laura: this just in. "wall street journal's" reporting that kamala harris has told close allies and family members she is disappointed in president biden's recent contention that he would have won the 2024 liquids. she has expressed her deep sadness over losing the election and biden's comments. sounds like everybody in politics gte their feelings hurt. you and i have been around this town so long like you expect people to take shots at you. she was a terrible candidate. >> she was terrible. >> biden also said he would win and she would win, too. >> he didn't know the election was over. >> he thought he was running against george w. bush. this is a very strange thing when you have the enablers of biden angry at the people who finally gave the party a tiny shot with kamala harris. that's the only shot they had. >> they are going through the different stages. >> laura: of grief. >> one thing i will tell you is if they stay that way they will never win back. what they should do is take a
4:18 pm
wake-up call. understand why you lost. your policies are so socialism, america doesn't want them. democrats who never vote ford republicans voted for trump. they had trump syndrome but, you know what america had? they want america to be better. they want america to be stronger. they, yes, they want america to be great again. that's something all americans can. >> laura: now that biden is about to leave any secret behind the scene stuff you can tell under the circumstances you didn't share before. >> i shared quite a pit. do you know when he talks and mobiles we were negotiating this big bill he starts it mumble. patrick mchenry sitting on the couch, talk to him. i watched patrick could you tell what he sass saying he said i couldn't make out one word. when he talks he would tell you stories years ago. he hold told me a story when he was in the senate and ronald reagan was president. i heard that story every single
4:19 pm
time. pete. >> laura: old people repeat the same stories. if i do that please hit me or something. >> i will fast-forward. >> laura: automatically fast-forward. mr. speaker, thank you very much. great to see you as always. >> thank you. >> laura: karen bass bailed on the people of l.a. the people of l.a. are the people ready to bail on her? that'sas 7 next. ♪ new airborne. 7 immune supporting nutrients. our most complete support yet.

the whipped may be dying down the pressure to mayor karen bass to step down is growing. resident are returning to find total devastation. >> we ran and said please, please, can you please help us put this fire out. do you know what they said to us? i'm sorry we have no water. >> you just have to be strong. have faith. it's just stuff. >> the school i went to is gone as well as a lot of the 40e789s of the people i grew up with that i love and care about deeply. >> i ran away and just left all my belongings behind. my children's photo albums were left there. >> laura: oh my god. that got me. meanwhile, questions about mayor bass' boondoggle trip to guana when the wind warnings were already in place continued to
4:25 pm
dog her. >> looked back, would you have taken that trip overseas? >> you know, i am going to focus today. >> but, please. >> on what -- no. >> mayor, mayor, can i ask you one question -- mayor? >> laura: but at least mayor bass made some nice new friends there and she will need them since internal memos obtained by the "l.a. times" show that the l.a. fire department officials who report to bass were not ready for this emergency despite warnings about the dangerous winds. there were thousand available firefighters and dozens of water carrying engines that could have been prepositioned in advance that never were. probably could have saved the palisades. it's ineptitude everywhere which goes all the way to the top. when he is not doing that weird twitching thing, gavin newsom is blaming his critics and mother nature. it's not about this wildfire
4:26 pm
hurricane force winds mis and disinformation that can divide a country on a myriad of issues. i get the california derangement syndrome. i have been living with that for years and years. >> cds? a governor with zero sense of responsibility. another tle. typical liberal elite just like karen bass. a california resident whose house like so many others burned down in the l.a. fires. james, i have been -- i mean, i get up in the middle of the night. i get texts from friends from the palisades, from malibu. and reading their texts is hard enough, living what they're going through is horrendous. so, we're so sorry for your loss of property and everything that's gone along with it. tell us a little bit about that do you think these officials
4:27 pm
deserve some blame here? >> yeah. it's been a horrible week. i'm fortunate my family is safe but my entire house burned down. our entire neighborhood burned down. i lived nut area called the alma streets. totally disseminated every single neighbor i have their house is gone. i have a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old, my 5-year-old's school is gone the library is gone. the place they went to art class is gone. the place they went to music class is gone. the place they went to gymnastics is gone. every single thing is gone in the town right now. and it's hard to -- it's hard to imagine, you know, it's an incredible town. the palisades is one of the most special places in the world. i don't blame really anyone that's affiliated with the palisades. but i think los angeles failed us to a catastrophic degree. and it can never happen again
4:28 pm
that's my point of view on it. >> laura: we're seeing the video of your home burning down. i mean, when you saw that for the first time, before, there is the before, and then we showed the after, this adorable house. what dufault watching that? i mean, just everything you worked for. >> well, yeah. i had the -- in some ways i had the fortunate experience at least having clarity. no one is information. especially in the early days of this. i actually saw my house burning down via the camera system of my car. i was actually out of town. my wife had fled with our kids early in the morning. a friend basically said i think the neighborhood is going. see if you can actually see something from your car. so i logged in and i basically had a livestream of the fire jumping from my neighbor's house to our side yard to the garage, and then the rest of the house is -- took about an hour for the house to burn down and there was
4:29 pm
no emergency services. i watched it from las vegas airport. it was -- without a doubt the most surreal experience of my life. i am angry because i know it was avoidable. everyone knew the winds were bad. and i think, you know, everyone has been talking about the insurance companies and in my case i was dropped by state farm three months ago and i actually was fortunate i got put on the fair plan. the whole town knew that a huge swath of us no longer had insurance. and, you know, the insurance companies actually to their credit were transparent. the city did nothing. like when 1600 people in your town no longer have basically quality insurance. you would think you would go ahead and check the water pressure. check the reservoir, make sure there is fire trucks. just like basic operational things failed and so, you know, i don't think this is about karen bass being out of town. i think this is about basically the local government effectively being a facade. like they were playing
4:30 pm
government this whole time. and they had an opportunity to step up to help us in need. and there was nothing there. and i will say too, just like, you know, you think about infrastructures. the most valuable thing that we have had as a community has ironically been w whatsapp. how to get lawyers, taxes state farm. all these things. it is. >> laura: the people are saving themselves. >> shobleging how little. >> laura: the people are saving themselves and their friends are helping other friends but helping making new friends horror of all of this. james, there is a lot in this story, but, one of them, which we'll delve into later why these insurance companies and everyone hates insurance companies i get it. why they pulled out. california has some culpability in that, too. they wouldn't let rates go up even though rates had to go up for them to remain solvent in

the state. it's a confluence of events but leadership matters and in the good times but it really matters in the bad times. i wish you and your family the best are you going to fully rebuild in a lot of the location. i know the vulture capitalists are swooping down, too. >> we are rebuilding. i'm doubling down. i love the palisades. >> lawrence: beautiful. >> i think will leadership it can be incredible. if there are people competent running this place there is no reason it has to be like this. >> laura: one of the most people parts of the united states. we wish you all the best and we will continue to cover. this james, thank you for telling your story. new details about bitter biden's scorn over the election results. that's next. ♪ has been by your side.

>> laura: we have chronicled just how much biden is seething, still, after being forced out of the race by pelosi after that, of course now legendarily horrendous performance against trump. now now the resentment we understand is going much deeper. nbc news is reporting tonight that biden harbors resentment towards members of his own party and that he is not on speaking terms with some of his closest allies. they have also reported that biden privately mused about the idea of pardoning trump as a magnanimous move that would have been smart. people familiar with the comments though it's not clear he seriously considered it. joining us now missouri senator eric schmitt. this is like a soap opera. i'm dragging you into this. is he apparently so bitter not just about being forced out still, is he not talking to nancy and everyone else. he is mad that americans don't, quote: appreciate the significance of the wins he delivered to america.
4:38 pm
were you. >> he has left a dumpster fire here for president trump to go fix. is he probably upset, too. what he is really going to be remembered for in history now other than his failed legacy the guy in between trump's two terms. that's probably hard for him to swallow. he probably thought he was scranton joe guy essentially presided over the most progressive and leftist administration in american history that left working families behind and now, guess what? the republican party is the party of working families. that's got to be tough for him. >> laura: resentful and out of touch. >> bitter. >> laura: he is leaving a parting gift. you said a dumpster fire. is he leaving a parting gift via his economic team to americans. the americans who don't appreciate him. it's been chronicled by all the business reporters including at cnn even. watch. >> restaurant prices are up. significantly more than 3% from a year ago. shelter, that's rent, that continues to be a major problem. and energy as well. there is no doubt people are spending a lot more. look at this almost $1,200 more
4:39 pm
for the same goods and services than they were back in january 2021. >> laura: that is why trump won this election. >> people can't keep up with that. >> laura: staggering. >> insane. by the way he also on his way out banned offshore drilling for like $65 trillion worth of revenue. he doesn't get it. he just is upset about it. he doesn't understand what the problem is. >> laura: there is help on the way. we had scott bessent who is going to be the new treasury secretary up on the hill today. this was one of the exchanges. watch. >> we will be facing an economic calamity, and, as always. with financial instability, that falls on the middle and working class people. we will see a gigantic middle class tax increase. >> laura: if indeed those tax cuts are allowed to expire, senator, at the same time the economy cannot live on tax cuts alone. we do need actual spending cuts. not just cutting the growth of
4:40 pm
spending. washington speak. cutting spending. is that going to happen or trump get the tax cut and everything else fade away. >> we should do both. if we got spending levels to what they were in 2019 when trump was president we would have a budget surplus. he is right the middle class families will bear the brunt of this. we have not got a revenue problem we have a spending problem. through this process of reconciliation qui need 51 votes in the senate with the republican house and president trump in the white house we can do that we have to deliver. macy the mandate president trump got and we ought to deliver for him. >> laura: musk made that point there has to be transformational change, otherwise things are going to go down the tubes. >> i was on the armed services committee with pete hegseth this week and pam bondi on the judiciary committee. you also need reformers leading these agencies to reform on the inside. so if you get spending cuts, tanks cuts that are extended for working families and reform on the inside, that's the secret sauce. >> laura: senator, eric schmitt, as always thank you, sir.

♪ >> laura: house republicans took a major step in protecting young
4:46 pm
girls in schools passing a bill that bans biological males from girls sports teams. we would think that democrats got on board, especially with the results of the presidential election. very common sense legislation. right? >> they are responsible g.o.p. bill risks unleashing child predators on the children of america in the sports context which we know has been a problem in areas like gymnastics; football or wrestling. >> but i also want to be very clear categorical bans like this one harm all girls and have invasive and impossible to implement. >> laura: harm all girls. yeah. clearly they have learned nothing from the election. and sounds like none of them have played any sports. only two house democrats supported the bill while the rest went along with the third argument ditching logic for just the usual rants.
4:47 pm
>> republicans now want to pretend today that they care about women. and why? to open up gender, and yes genital examinations into little girls in this country in the so-called name of attacking trans girls. trans girls are girls. >> laura: ha. joining me now tomi lahren host of tomi lahren is fearless on outkick. tomi, all right, well, aoc, now, it's the conspiracy theories and she was also making some false equivalencies. watch. >> for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern about women for the first time that i have seen. i don't know about y'all, i don't know who has been to gym class lately but girls even if you only believe in two genders, i played co-ed sports all the time. >> laura: what was the y'all, tomi?
4:48 pm
has she now adopted a southern accent? i'm not sure what that was. tomi, what is your sense about this? this is insane. >> the fake accent height have been the best part of that entire speech. maybe the most believable, actually which is a low bar i understand. listen, trans women are actually in fact biological men and that shouldn't be a controversial thing to say but i will tell you this. this is what i find so infuriating. at the same time that we listen to these democrats yammer on about how this would unleash predators upon women's locker rooms or women's sports or young people in general, at that same time that they were yammering on about that, there was also a hearing going on for pete hegseth in which several democrat senators, especially the females talked about female empowerment and women's rights i guess that only extends to women in combat and doesn't extend to a woman's right to be able to compete in her own category of sports. be in a locker room where she is not exposed to male genitalia or in a restroom where she is
4:49 pm
exposed to male genitalia. i guess women rights and power plant stops at locker room door according to most democrat senators especially the females. quite humiliating, laura, when you think about it. >> laura: demonstrates once again like with the illegal alien issue. these people are total fanatics. common sense is out the door. science is out the door morality, just a general sense of more rattle or fairness, it's out the door. because they are fanatics on abortion, pornography, obviously this trans issue. and open borders and nothing will change their mind. nothing. so now, tomi, democrats have renamed the protection of women and girls in sports act. check this out. >> we believe fundamentally in the fairness of sports. we cannot stand and allow politicizing kids sports as a --
4:50 pm
to be used as a political tool. we felt that this is -- the g.o.p. child predator empowerment act. >> laura: ha ha ha. as men go into girls locker rooms. we are the predator problem. >> and again i don't understand this philosophy that somehow now young people would be subject to genital examination. correct me if i am wrong, laura. i think the last 50 plus years that women did have their own sports in spaces they didn't have continue to during any kind of examination. maybe we could just go back to that i though know it's a crazy thing to think maybe women could compete in sports with other women. have their own locker rooms. i know it's hard for them to wrap their minds around but i think it's been done before and we can do it again. >> laura: if boys go -- i played three sports in high school. if boys tried to go in the girl's locker room. they would be punished. maybe they would get a detention or be success spented that's it. stay in your own locker room. we will stay in ours. get out of our safe spaces and

4:57 pm
>> crock-pot, you know, theory as it relates to vaccines that's coming from rfk. we will do everything we can to stop him and protect our kids. >> many of his ideas maybe popular on certain podcasts but they are way outside of the mainstream. >> laura: way, way, way. but whose antiscience now? today the fda has finally taken some action to remove a dangerous chemical from our food. red die number 3. it's carcinogenic effects of been known for decades yet still in everything from candy to cough drops, chips to drinks. check out my instagram because i went through my own pantry to today. two questions. where does rfk jr. go to get his apology and more importantly, what took the fda so long? interesting timing, don't you think? joining me now is the food babe. great to see you. red dye number 3 was banned in cosmetics i guess more than three decades ago so we knew it
4:58 pm
back then that it was bad to put on our bodies but why did it take so long to stop it from going into our bodies? >> this is one of the biggest examples of the conflicts of interest that exist in washington especially in our regulatory bodies like the fda. 30 years ago when it was banned in cosmetics, you could not use red three in lipstick anymore but it was going to be still allowed in food cause the mayor -- maraschino cherry industry with the help of the alcohol industry lobbied the regulators to keep it in food because those little red cherries that are water-soluble with red three are actually increasing alcohol sales at the bar. that is how it remained in our food supply for so long. it wasn't until january of 2022 that several nonprofit organizations like the center for science public interest in environmental working group came together to petition the fda. but even then it took them three years to finally do something
4:59 pm
about it and it's because of this movement that has been created, that make america healthy again movement that i am so proud to be part of. and i am so excited to see what's happening, how we are creating change already before even robert f. kennedy jr. is confirmed as the secretary of health and human services. it's incredible. >> jesse: he's a catalyst for this i think. i mean you guys have been working in the trenches, i know so many mom groups out there are going back to healthy lifestyles, healthy food for their kids. and people don't think about it. they go through their pantries, i did today, and people might want to look at their candy, corn, protein shakes, ice pops the kids like, other beverages with colors in them. what else should we be looking for? >> i mean there's a beverage that they give cancer patients as a shake in hospitals that
5:00 pm
have read three in it. something that causes cancer. it's absolutely incredible what's allowed. what is so beautiful about the situation is that now we have a bipartisan issue where both sides of the aisle are coming together. you saw a senator grill the fda on december fifth and the senator bernie sandy's -- bernie sanders hearing with the fda. it went viral. the reason he was so passionate is because he's met with president trump and he's met with rfk jr. on these issues and was able to go to bat. i'm telling you, this is incredible to see what happens when we all work together. >> laura: we are going to continue to stay on this. they found the cancer in animals, not humans, but we know where this will go. vani hari, thank you. that's it for us tonight, make sure to follow me, it on my instagram. banks for watching, it's american now and forever and jesse is next. >> jesse: welcome to "jesse watters primetime". tonight... >> today an oligarchy is taking shap
