in the gop concludeed to take down obama they had to convince laura bush to run? she was popular and good with kids and smart. this would have been ridiculous and people would have said it was ridiculous. normally you say they are doing a great job as governor, so we are looking forward to running him in year x for president. we have a deep bench of successful governors. that's what republicans can say right now. but democrats don't have anyone who can do the job. in illinois he is a nightmare. and whitler in michigan. >> after a pandemic and national recession and kidnapping and murder plot, i have been asked why do i keep doing this? my answer is simple. i am -- show up for every michigan family. >> laura: and governor wolf of pennsylvania. he keeps losing court cases and the love-gov andrew cuomo he crashed and burned. >> there is a difference between alleged improper conduct and concluding sexual harassment. >> laura: it is hard to see any scenario under which michelle obama would agree to this nonsense. she is intelligent enough to realize a lot of her popula

so tracy hall final question when michelle obama does reading time or laura bush is a librarian and she's got the platform of the white house or barbara bush's promoting reading. does that make a difference? it absolutely does right but what makes even more of a difference is for parents and caregivers to model reading for their young people. what we know is that reading is critical reading is critical for in the pursuit of higher education. it's critical for recidivism to in to to lesser recidivism. what we found is where people who are incarcerated that their access to reading is one of the things that can lower the chances that they'll return to prison and we know that they're low literacy rates across the board in prison, so reading and modeling reading and and those of us who champion reading and those of us who support and fund our libraries those are critical acts critical acts. we're in a period where reading is released and we're seeing that by the increased numbers of people who say they are reading and borrowing ebooks from libraries and the programs that people are attending a

to the historic revelite restorations and artwork of laura bush and michelle obama. tonight we celebrate the foundation of this organization. the legacy of jackie kennedy a first lady who opened the white house to a larger audience than ever before. for 60 years the white house historical association has helped us understand the rich beautiful and complicated history that has brought us here. from native americans who once inhabited the lands of the presidential park to enslaved persons who labored to build the white house to the families who called it home. as a teacher i have always believed that education is the foundation of our democracy. that principle is reflected in the executive mansion and in the tireless work to preserve it. you the association help us remember the past so that we can continue to build a nation that lives up to our own timeless ideals. the pursuit of justice and equality the honor of service. and the strength of our unity. and as we make our way through this pandemic the association has helped our administration continue to connect with th

imagine in 2008 if the gop concluded that to takein down obama they needed to convince someone like laura bush to run?on my goodness, vishe was first lady. she was really popularar. she was good with kids, veryar smart. it would have been ridiculous and people would have said itt was ridiculous. normally you think about it, you'd say x or y or z. they're doing great jobs as governor. so we're looking forward to f running him in your ex for president. you'd say we have a deep benchov of successful governors. well, that's what republicansert can say s right now. they have the santurce, they have abbott, they have knowm. they have a lot more .t d but democrats i just mentioned this and apparently don'tem have anyone who can do the job. you know, they are pritzker in illinois is a total nightmare. have witless wittmer in michigan. oh, no. oh, no. afterr a polar and vortex, a pandemic, a national recessionnic and a kidnaping a and murder plot, i've beennd asked how the heck do i keep doing this ? well, my answeris is simple. i show up for every michigan family that's going to work about governor to

. >> laura: so you are closer to trump and his position on china then you are with george w. busholutely. i think even in 2006 i was a really strong voice on china. but what happened as you know well in 2013 is that when xi came on board, he took china into a much more aggressive direction then it had ever gone before, and that is posing a real risk to our national security, our economy, and so forth. and so it requires a real whole nation strategy to deal with the and reduce the risk national security was also the restore economy. >> laura: so you are not in agreement with your former partner, ready, on china and the closeness that he believes we should continue to foster with china? >> i think we deftly have a different view on the long-term prospects for china, the motivations of china. that is something -- differences we have held for a long time. and that is okay. he can have its view, i have my view. my views on that i think it is most important right now in terms of i am making my kids to the people of pennsylvania that i can represent them while on this most critical of is

bush/cheney days of old? >> we will focus to zero illegal immigration and we won't do anything to kill american jobs. that's where the republicans will be going. >> laurame on china. not pushing for a partnership or dropping the tariffs in china. >> it's frustrating. communist china is stealing our jobs. the government in it china lies, cheats and steals. we have to say we are here for american jobs and human rights and peace and liberty. communist china want to dominate the world. they put people in prison for their religious. >> laura: why are we still doing business with them? >> i have had a bill -- i have been in the senate for 3 years. companies like amazon you disclose where your products are made. did i get that it passed? no because too many people depend on china. >> laura: you have been terrific on this issue. as the pandemic winds down dr. fauci attempts to it absolve himself. "the last bite" explains. >> laura: george washington could never tell a lie. tony fauci is different. >> there is nothing political at all in what i do. it's unfortunate that i became a target of political messages. i have never have nor ever will have anything to do

laura: i think that's a great idea. we need to start getting creative the way we name our bills. i want to give you someone from your neck of the woods. missouri congressman cory bush. she's not backing down at all on the phrase defunding the police. she says that's 4 not the problem. we dangle the carrot in front of people's faces saying we could get it done and democrats deliver which we haven't totally delivered. is this another instance, senator, of pelosi empowering the far left and catering to them, and now they can't put the genie back in the bottle? >> you're look at the real leadership of the democratic party in congress. these are the people with the ideas who are setting the agenda and the agenda is insane. it's to take away protection from working people. by the way, people like cory bush, they have private security that they use, that they hide behind, while they deny public funding for police, to folks who can't afford private security. that's the real issue, that i think is at the heart of this and this is, bit way, a democratic party, as they want to defund the police and take away protection for working people they are also giving crack pipes to cr

laura ingraham. this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight . they're making lists. that's the focus of tonight's @ngel. we don't trust the bush administration to protect our civil liberties period. they abuse their power uncovered. they abuse their power in the way they handled the january six situation and they trash our country's history every chance they get after 13 months of president biden, americans have every reason to be suspicious of anything they do that involves collecting information about americans. i'm talking about lists, databases or surveillance of anything including your health records or social media history. let's face it, they treat half of the country as they're the mortal enemy, a threat to be controlled not a constituency to be served. now when the school, crt and assault issues bubbled up in the us , democrats finally found themselves on the defensive and then biden's attorney general merrick garland, he swooped in to flex the power of the federal law enforcement. his words at the time are meant to intimidate and scare parents. if you're upset and angry at the direction your school board is taking an
