ever. the republicans in the senate are standingnd firm, as we were just talking about, hannity and i, and they are singling there impeachment is doa. rick scott and jim jordan hear about the big democrat backfire. plus doctors fauci and birx have embarked on a finger pointing toward. but first, biden's race to the bottom. that's the focus of tonight angle. a long, long time ago, joe biden was against using executive orders to ram through what is probably left to the legislature. >> some of my republican friends and democratic friends say if you aren't going to get the votes by executive order, you are going to do something. things not done by executive order, you're a dictator. >> laura: the dictator d threw that out the window because thed biden brigade has a country to remake and redeem. today he continued taking a wrecking ball to his unity goal. the man who served up, he was the vp to a two-term african-american president, he has tripled down on the negative view that america at her core is racist. >> our soul will be troubled as long as systemic racism is allowed to resist but we can't lemonade it exactly overnight. we can't elevate everything paid but it's corrosive. it's destructive. and it's costly. >> laura: to address the aforementioned systemic racism, biden signed a slew of executiva actions today, including barring the doj contracting with private prisons, ending what he calls racially disco tory housing policies, and addressing anti-asian bias, including references to the covid-19 pandemic, despite the geographic origins of its you are racist if youcall it thd somethingmust be wrong with thel founders. biden had officially renounced any prior effort to establish patriotic education and eliminate trump's race blind approach to workplace training. >> i've rescinded the previous administration harmful ban on training and abolish the counterfactual 1776 commission. unity and healing must begin with understanding and truth, not ignorance and lies. >> laura:: does he even though he's reading? you have to understand this, a discussion on the wonders of the american founding is now i guess, he said the words, in biden's view, alive. so if you now believe what most of us were taught at school that our founding fathers were reallr into heroic men -- no one's perfect, they made mistakes, they all had flaws, some big flaws, but if you thought they were brilliant heroic men, you are ignorant. and if you praise the wisdom of the framers, you are a liar and probably a racist. does biden never announced then his own catholic education? his teachers? his professors celebrated the e declaration of independence ad the constitution? as well as thehe men who designd them? the 1776 commission understood that america is a great nation that g nevertheless made some graves errors. two days inverts that belief insisting that we are a gravely evil nation that only occasionally does some good things like elect obama and biden. >> we never fold up to the founding pens bulls of this nation's come at the obvious, that all people are created equal and have the right to be treated equally throughout their lives. you know, we bought the view that america is a zero-sum game in many cases. >> laura: it is a wonder that hundreds of thousands of people apply to become american citizens every year from all corners of the earth. i've had the privilege to get to know many of these hardworking and grateful new americans, they are everywhere from africa, central america, and beyond. it seems they understand more about the goodness, the promise, and the opportunities of america then the vengeful native-born leftists churning out race-based executive orders for biden. but you have to ask yourself, how did we get here? well, for decades, radical academics have been teaching students to believe that white privilege is a greater threat to us than the ccp, islamic terror, former soviet union, unemployment, and certainly any virus. giddy with a compliant biden in the white house, they now want thosee who disagree to be shame, reeducated, punished. i in the case of trump supporters, purged completely from society. i'm not exaggerating that. there e will be no end to the demands of these racial rabble-rousers. i'm talking hundreds ofri billions, if not trillions in new spending. they believe that dangling the prospect of reparations willep obscure the fact that their policies, just to name a few, open borders, the off shoring of jobs, will make impoverished working-class americans ofke all races poor and less safe. but never fear. the woman who lied repeatedly about benghazi will right all wrongs by assuming that if you are are white and you succeeded at something, it must be because you rob someone else of a more deserving opportunity. >> every agency will place equity at the core of their public engagement. the policy design, and program delivery to ensure that government resources are reaching americans of color, and all marginalized communities, rule, urban, disabled, lgbtq+, religious communities, and all others. >> laura: america is so rigged that susan rice attended two of the country of foster's most prestigious universities. except in at stanford university stands at 4% compare that toeo someone like shelby steele, a current fellow at stanford's hoover institution who said this on our show lastou week. >> is white guilt still an animating force in american life? we won't ever get beyond it. until white america begins to feel, to lose its insecurity around race. yes, we did horrible things. but today, america is remarkably free of racism. if you arere a black person in america today, your life is not going to be stunted by racial persecution. >> laura: if what rice and the rest of the biden team is claiming is true, then why should we ask anyone here to sacrifice for this country, for instance in the military, as a member of the police force, frankly any public service servant?why did susan rice natil public security advisor sign up our troops abroad to die for the country? why would a rotten, racist evil contribute worth defending? w why would we want our systemically evil values to be exported abroad? let's face it, the democrats know all too well that trump grew his political support among all minorities, especially latinos and asians. why did he do this? his policies delivered record low unemployment for blacks and hispanics were in income grew for all races and ethnicities. but the left has never been serious about growing the economy, has a question my biden has a ready killed thousands of good paying jobs with his attack on our energy sector. nice going, joe. soon companies are going to be moving once again. jobs back to china, and other countries to avoid his smothering regulations and crippling taxes. but biden's handlers think they can still keep minority voters on the hook with identity politics, virtue signaling mud diversity quotas, and the pipe dream ofhe reparations. it's so cynicalit and more than that, it's so insulting. like biden's purported disdain for executive orders, this is all a fraud. it's a cruel hoax. it's cruel both to minorities and to the overwhelmingly good people who make up our american family. we on the laura ingraham -- i keep calling it the laura ingraham show, "the ingraham angle" show, will keep opening this twisted and poisonous claim and we'll do it with facts, love, patriotism, and sometimes, yes, well all the time, prayer. because unlike them, we haven't given up on america. and that's the angle. joining me now is dr. ben carson, former housing and urban development secretary. dr. carson, your reaction to today's exec of actions and susan rice's announcement of them? > it's pretty amazing how people try to frame everything racially and how they create divisions among our society. i grew up in the '50s and '60s and i can tell you what real racism was like. it was an everyday event. the world is very different here in america right now.ig and to use race as a mechanism to obtain power and positions i think is really quite shameful. in fact, race relationships have deteriorated. why have they deteriorated? because of the great emphasis, trying to create white guilt and black victimhood. those are two very bad things and when you put them together, and results in some policies that absolutely make no sense. so the real conflict here is between common sense and idiocy. that's what's really going on. >> on pbs tonight, responding to the criticisms of the biden executive actions, susan rice said this. >> it's a bit rich, frankly, for republicans to suggest that by trying to lift up every body we are dividing america. we just had four years of the most divisive, vitriolic residency that one could imagine. and that division was a political strategy. and thankfully it hasn't worked because it is not what the american people want. >> laura: dr. carson, not only record low unemployment, record wage growth, criminal justice reform, community engagement with new investment and an attempt -- >> opportunity zones? >> laura: none of it registers because they don't want it to register. >> they are saying, i don't believe your eyes, just believe what t we are telling you. and you are a victim and these people are oppressing you. i appeal to the american people to stop listening to the foolishness and use your brain. and believe what you see and what you feel. america is full of very good people. the vast majority of americans are decent individuals. theynyone who's in need, including their neighbors. they don't ask if you are a democrat or republican. but we have a political class and the media that does nothing but specialize in stirring up anger and stirring up resentment. i guess that makes them feel powerful and makes them feelhe needed. i would appeal to them to maybe listen to their better angels. you know, this is a time or we can make tremendous progress. everybody is talking about unity and working together? let's actually do that. wewe create our own problems. we are going to be the ones who destroyed this country if we continue to listen to the purveyors of division and hatred. it's in our hands, the people. >> laura: one of biden's executive orders, senator carson, took aim at federal housing policy. it used to be in c charge of th. watch. >> homeownership is an essential tool to wealth creation and can be passed down to generations. today, i'm directing the to addresshistorical racism in l housing policies. >> laura: dr. carson, do you feel he's attacking you directly in that statement? >> i don't feel attacked because i think we made a tremendous amount of progress in the area. recognize that the majority of this termination cases andhe housing had nothing to do with race. i had to do withce disability. we are very concerned about housing and have removed many of the obstacles particular for minorities because it's the primary mechanism for wealth creation in this country. the average homeowner is worth $200,000, obviously we want to change that dynamic. we need to work on the policies that allow that to be done and i hope that this administration rather than feeling the need to pointng fingers will utilize soe of the gains that we made, capitalize on those and make more progress. >> raising energy prices which is what's happening now, you probably notice what's happening at the pumps. that's going to be a big added cost for most people, especially on the lower ends of the economic ladder. horrific. dr. carson, greatt to see you tonight. >> let me just say it, an error element area we need to make progress and common sense because we say wewe have to have these solar panels and yet if you open a solar panel, what is in their? copper and other kinds of elements that they are trying to suppress through the department of the interior. it makes no sense. >> dr. carson, thanks so much. and while biden is injecting critical race theory back in the federal policymaking, netflix is streaming it right in your home and even targeting your kids? the company has announced three projects with a regular controlm dr. nader abram x will include a cartoon series called "antiracist baby aimed at brain watching preschoolers. generally now is libby evans, senior conservator at p "federalist" and the senior editor at "post-millennial." it's obvious you can cancel netflix but this is slowly taking hold of every institution and we see it in the curricula of our junior high school, our high schools, and increasingly our elementary schools where most kids don't even see race, they are now forced to see it. >> i think that's really a pretty big problem and i think that's what's most interesting about this kennedy project with netflix is that in addition to a sort off documentary scripted series were adults and one for high schoolers, there is also this musicalal adaptation of something called "antiracist baby which is a board book that came out in june and it's going to be directed by the person who did "document steffens," directi toddlers to confess their racism and i think also inputting these kinds of programming, feeding it to toddlers and little kids, we are teaching kids that the only way to look at the world is through a lens of race. we are teaching them that race is the most important facts about a person, there are things that you can tell and understand about a person based on looking at their racial, their skin color -- >> laura: let me read a sample here let me read a sample of what children can learn so people can understand what we are talking about here. this is from kennedy's new netflix project. >> "i'm not racist" is a racist who is in denial. and an antiracist is someone who is willing to admit that at times in which they are being racist. this construct of being "not racist" is denying when one's racism goes back to the origins of this country. >> laura: that was a ted talk in june. not only does he claim our founders were racist but everyone right now apparently is racist. >> yeah. i think that's the idea. the idea is that why people are complicit for the racist sins of their ancestors and that every white kid is responsible for this history and it's just not reasonable and it goes completely against everything that we are talked taught by the civil rights movement. kennedy has a big grant given to him by jack dorsey at boston university which is where martin luther king went to school himself and this completely undoes king's legacy. it's a reversal of everything that we understand about youu quality. we know that we were created equal under god, we know that there are no things that you can tell about a person based on looking at them. we all learned that you don't judge a book by its cover, and who we are being told to do exactly that, not only to do that to others but to do that to yourself, look to yourself and say that for some reason our skin color is definitive in some way. >> laura: parents have to really be aware what's being taught to their kids and speak out if they think it's not fair. we want all people to be treated equally without regard to race or ethnicity or where you came from, and this is concerning. it is big business. the big money being made, and a lot of corporations checking these boxes as well. thank you so much. during his first week in office, biden is made clear that he is comfortable handing the keys of u.s. sovereignty over to china. newt gingrich is here and moments to tell us how this is going to happen, plus what he thinks nancy pelosi has been the most destructive speaker in u.s. history. why is that?

>> we have this is the era of unilateralism. >> we agree on a climate agenda, the paris agenda. we need to move together as so not to create a productivity bias. >> laura: "productivity biases." biden's wall street backer is ecstatic about the prospect of a global green new deal. >> the transition that we are going to bein undergoing related to sustainability is a huge economic opportunity. here, $50 trillion in investing to get to it. so it's not a small price tag. the opportunity is large.. >> opportunities for whom? it's huge indeed. always know that larry cinque and his friends are always willing to sell outer american's interests to a sweetheart deal to the chinese and some of them are getting them. under thehe paris accord they stand to profit more if biden gets his way. you are going to be saddled with less income higher taxes, higher energy prices, more crime, rolling lock downs. but don't worry. biden says there'll be millions and millions of green jobs to go around. they are never going to china, right question ch biden is busy tying down our own economy. giving china full rain reign. >> if i were china i be thrilled with the first couple of steps of the biden the administration. when biden kills a pipeline, he creates almost a guarantee that the canadians will now build a pipeline to the pacific rather than to texas and when they go to the pacific, they are going to sell canadian oil or gas to the chinese through the chinese are thrilled that we are rejoining the paris peace accords because it was written to be totally pro-china and anti-american. it kills american jobs in return for a chinese promise that someday in the futuree may be they will do something good. whenen he rejoins with biden, wo joins the world health organization, he's rejoining an organization dominated by the chinese, an organization which lied about the chinese virus, covid-19, which is a chinese virus. and so once again, he puts the chinese in charge. president xi's idea of multilateralism is a series of organizations which the chinese have been working very effectively to dominate and they are thrilled to convince us that we should be sort of their junior partners. meanwhile the europeans led by chancellor merkel who you just had on a second ago has signed a trade agreement with beijing which is remarkably anti-american, remarkably pro-chinese, was driven through by the german chancellor and is really a declaration that the europeans would rather live in a world dominated by china then a world led by the united states.u >> laura: newt, isn't it true that the democrats today view, let's say, christian conservatives and trump supporters as a much bigger danger to what their ultimate goals are than the ccp or any other external threat? even the virus. ccp, russia, islamic terror. then there are the trump supporters and president trump. that's thehe real evil and a whe privilege. that's what they have to focus on here and now. >> look, i think what happened is when led by ronald reagan, the united states defeated the soviet empire. it literally collapsed. we went through about a 20 year period where we were so dominant that nobody on the left wing had any sense that there was any kind of foreign danger. so their view is they can afford to tear america apart. take for example what the teachers union are doing. if you want to guarantee the chinese dominate the future, make sure that young american children don't get to go to school. we have children now who are missing a year or more of education. the chinese love this! every single week that the teachers union in chicago keeps children out of class is a week where the chinese are gaining ground. i think we really don't appreciate this. >> laura: newt, really quickly. you said nancy pelosi is the most destructive speaker ever. really quickly, c why? >> she keeps violating the constitution. she uses her power ruthlessly and she has really pushed through the most radical positions ever taken by an americanth speaker. including abolishing mother and father and uncle and aunt and son and daughter as words, literally trying to strip out any gender reference from the thouse of representatives. i think she's really dangerous. >> laura: but she's an ardent practicing catholic, newt, so you cannot criticize her. great to see you. senate democrats moving forward with impeachment. despite not having the votes their comrades in the house make undermining election law and federal priority. senator rick scott, cumbersome and jim jordan are here in moments. >> laura: earlier today senator rand paul >> laura: earlier today, senator rand paul introduced a motion to last night we reported that sources had told us that the motion would garner 45 votes, which it did, signaling democrats would be 12 votes short of conviction at least. here now is florida senator rick scott, chair of the national republican senatorial committee. senator, what do the dems get out of this aside from wasting america's time and money? is it red meat to their increasingly left-wing base? >> laura, i'm in the capital. i think there's a little bit of confusion. we are supposedhi to be there t helping families but it's like we are in the kennedy center. it's a political show. this has h nothing to do with wt we should be doing at the capitol. it's vindictive. it's backward looking. it's unserious. it's constitutionally sketchy. the supreme court justice didn't even show up today. does nothing to help an american family, doesn't have anything to do with job creation, improving our schools, military, law enforcement. it's just political theater for thepo democrats. e what i want to do is i'm going to keep up on what's good for florida families, jobs, education, get this economy going, get the vaccine out, the democrats, it's just political theater. >> onca an issue that does matt, a federal judge who was appointed by president trump has a ready taken action against biden's 100 day moratorium on deportations. fox news reporting that after texas sued, the judge blocked by via a temporary restraining order moving forward for 14 days, senator scott, at the same time you're getting pummeled for blocking biden's dhs pick who himself is of cuban descent but he's a radical open borders pick, not surprising for biden, but how big is this immigration fight going to become? >> i think this is significant. i'm from an immigration state. we love in cremation immigration, legalimmigration t. not the illegal immigration. don't secure the border, don't deport anybody. so they want amnesty. what are we going to do? we are going to not prevent somebody from coming across the border, we are going to provide them amnesty and keep doing this back-and-forth? this doesn't solve anything.ny we need to have immigration reform. we want to take care of the daca kids, i have a bill to fix the gps program that the democrats blocked twice on the senate floor. this is not what this country voted for. they didn't vote for open borders, >> laura: what happened to covid? we areid so concerned about cov, kid can't go to school, they are committing suicide in some states because they are still the press, will let everybody willy-nilly come across the border, it's insanity, complete insanity. we've got to roll. >> it was going to be solved, remember? >> yeah. everyone sees what's going on. come back soon, we have to talk about florida, may be taking the florida olympics?as as senate democrats move forward with the impeachment trial,ch pelosi and the gang are making overturning election laws their top priority.ri one of the first bills, the house will nationalize the policies to all but assure their victoriess in that georgia run off. that includes things like early voting, same-day registration, and universal mail in ballots. those would be easy to verify. with reaction, jim jordan. congressman, the dems were applied to a lack of trust in our elections by putting the federal government in charge, taking away from the states? >> they are going to make it worse. not only all the things you just said, laura, they want tax dollars to pay for the campaign and also including that is you get the candidate running for office gets the child care paid for, health insurance paid for for them and their staff. such a. deal, first they are going to let felons vote, they will have mail in ballot universal, and they'll have you the taxpayer pay for the campaign itself. such a deal for the taxpayer. >> what's the republicans plan to combat this? before the last election, everybody talking about maill- n ballots, not really a successful effort to reign in the abuses of lack of verification and so forth. >> this is really important. here's what the democrats did in the last election for they knew they couldn't beat president trump to change the rules so at the last moment they change the rules but because they didn't state down the control state legislatures in key states, they had to do it in unconstitutional fashion. they had democrat-controlled supreme court, democratic secretaries of state's. in pennsylvania, the partisans and cream sort part is sitting supreme court se going to extended three days. they made all these changes. the only way to feed ito back if you have to elect the public and governors in those key swing states and make sure that i constitutionally it is done in a constitutional fashion by the state legislature. we've got to win the governorships in pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, make sure we can change it back to a fair election like it's always been in our country. >> laura: they are really afraid that trump is going to run again and win. if they w weren't afraid of tha, they wouldn't be doing jamie raskin's -- they are admitting they are doing this. but where is their confidence? if everything they are doing is going to solve racism, poverty, all the things, they will win a landslide. what are they afraid of? >> i don't know. i think it's funny. this double standard, the guy leading the impeachment effort for the democrats objected to florida in 2017. but democrats objected to 11 states on january 6th, 2017 but republicans are wrong because we rejected a handful of states where we know those states changeha their laws and in unconstitutional fashion. jim mcgovern, the democratic chair of the rules committee, guess which state he objected, the first objector to january 620-2017, guess which state he objected to? alabama. bill clinton bill hillary clinton won alabame it what it is. >> laura: yes or no, are you running for that portman senate seat two years? >> we haven't decided anything but right now i'm focusing on bills like the one democrats are introducing. >> laura: i'm just intuiting. it's my intuition, that's all i'll say. dr. birx and fauci? are they looking to rehab their reputations by throwing our next guest under the bus? dr. adams with a response. my retirement plan with voya keeps me moving forward. they guide me with achievable steps that give me confidence. this is my granddaughter... she's cute like her grandpa. voya doesn't just help me get to retirement... ...they're with me all the way through it. voya. be confident to and through retirement. >> i take no great pleasure out of contradicting the president but i have to get up just to maintain my own integrity. i didn't wantt to come on your show for months and months. it just got blocked because they didn't like the way you handled things. it was a tough situation. it really was. there were a lot of people they're trying hard to get the right thing done but it was very tough when you didn't have the leadership from above. >> laura: when does he actually get any work done? that man is the highest-paid person in the u.s. government who i suppose gets paid to go on tv instead of stamping out this infectious disease. he isn't the only one trying to rehabilitate a diminished reputation. here's his copilot, dr. deborah. >> saw the president presenting graphs i never made. i know that someone someone out there, someone inside was creating a parallel set of data and graphics that were shown to the president. >> who would do that? >> certainly scott alice brought in parallel data streams. >> laura: joining me now is the ever mention scott atlas, former white house covid advisor and apparently, dr. atlas, you were providing these nefarious parallel forms of data to embarrass dr. birx and fauci or contradict their deities. what happened? > thanks for having me, laur. i'm shocked to hear anyone that thinks they only monopoly should be the sole purveyor for the president. when you are an advisor for the president, there are a bunch of people inside the white house, a bunch of people in agencies, a bunch of people outside advising the president to have this bizarre notion that she should be the only one providing information to the president is an exposure of tremendous insecurity. you have somebody, a government bureaucrat for 30 years pontificating in front of tens of 30 people in meetings multiple times a week, none of whom know a thing about medicine or science for eight months, and i come in in august and i say, well, what about this, what about these papers, this data, and you have input from people, the best epidemiologists in the world from stanford and harvard all over the country trying to help, which is appropriate for a crisis like this. this is really just a bizarre, incredibly insecure strange point that she's making. the second point i want to make is that it is a sick, vicious lie for anyone to say or imply that i ever gave the president of united states false information, misleading information, some kind of strange information that was concocted out of nowhere. every single thing i everr advised was direct cdc, hhs, or a scientific literature data period. that is a disgusting indication of the kind of people that are in washington who have friends in places like cnn and "washington post" and they repeatat these lies or on tv, ad these things get repeated like they are fact. from a vile place. i want to say more if i can, laura, these same people, birx and the others are sitting there, what are they complaining about? the country did exactlyly what they were advocating almost every single stage did the shutdowns, did the school closures, did the restrictions on groups, did the mask mandates. if they don't like the result of those policies, the first things that these specific people should do is look at the mirror and loudly say that they were wrong. those are the policies that were implemented. they somehow feel like they shouldn't run away or complain. they advised those policies, they were implemented. >> laura: well, we destroyed a year of kid schooling and it looks like most of this year is going to be gone if they have their way because we are not going to have hvac, that's up to the desired standard of s the teachers union, we aren't going to have testing in schools. joe biden and his advisors including fauci are saying that we needed testing in schools, does that mean elementary school kids are going to be swabbed,, dr. atlas? what? >> it's been proven for months that schools are low risk, children have low risk of a serious illness, they are not significant spreaders -- >> laura: they don't care. >> the country is off the rails. i am so happy that my kids are not in school right now. i'm so sorry. i get emails from parents, yes, even teachers, saying what is going on here? >> laura: it's abuse and a pay off the unions because it looks like they are never going back to where they are not going to go back unless they are forced to go back, even with the vaccine they are not going back. dr. atlas, we could have an hour with you. thank you so much. liberal l.a. city county member with the worst rendition of the pledge of allegiance you'll ever hear next. .. .. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need?
