i don't do social media. >> i don't like that word, sucks, don't say that. i hate that word. i hate that word. i've got to go. i'm late. i'm laura ingraham, you're not going to want to miss my take down the lose cheney and the media obsession over january 6th texts sent by fox news host including myself and mark meadows first, your next lockdown is the focus of the angle. soon covid will be behind us you are thinking, maybe after omicron but fewer states with mandates or restrictions and you can't wait for the old normal to be back, cheap gas, affordable airfare, freedom to move around without masks, without having to show your fax card, if you feel like you don't, we are all looking forward to the end of shaving and recriminations but before you get all excited let me tell you what the organized left as planned for you, first, a end to private the nuclear travel. listen carefully to trudy harrison who works for boris johnson. >> the system fit for the future and free of fossil fuels, which moves from century thinking centered around private vehicle ownership and greater flexibility for personal choice. >> the ccp would be so proud, greater flexibility, she said, with personal choice but whose choices it exactly to go carless, not mine, not yours but decisions about how to restrict and track your personal travel are being made right now by global bureaucrats. the trendy climate change thinking in europe is already here wrapped in a public health emergency. just another attempt to foist new on you without your consent. their ultimate goal, limiting your ability to travel with convenience, when you want where you want, this would mean a end to private car ownership as we've known it and loved it for decades. think of it this way, the image of the middle-class american dream, a job to support your family, buying your own home, and your own car, that liberal elites have hated for a long long time. you heard of gun buybacks, i wouldn't put their doing a car by back, why not? they would prefer we all run around on these, maybe sweaty hoodys to live like the urban dwellers who are happy to stay home during covid, ordering in, throwing herbs and pots on their balconies, playing fortnight. the government dependency mindset existed before covid for sure but now it is worse and team biden and the democrats are hoping to exploit this dependency they've grown going into 2022 and later in 2024. some of you may be thinking i'm too pessimistic we are never going to go the way of europe, we are too strong and independent. but after watching our flaccid public respon se to some of these covid controls i have to tell you i'm not that confident. think about how many americans are rushing out to buy electric cars because electricity will be cheap and maybe even free. tens of thousands of charging stations across america, how awesome is that? is pretty awesome until you realize democrats plan to follow europe and make electricity far more expensive here as well. ideally they would like to restrict the supply. what is happening in europe right now is terrifying. european union labor commissioner nicholas schmidt on sunday warned there are already millions of people in europe not able to heat their home sufficiently and this number could rise further. i have another question is what happens when the wind doesn't blow. bloomberg notes low-speed reduced output and they cite years of lower investment in oil and gas. whose fault is that? europe is now finding itself unable to affordably heat their homes, the eurocrats just run things, and all twisted. the french transport minister actually bragged about eliminating travel options for travelers. >> france got a lot of attention for banning short-haul flights, taking trains during our shows, should be strengthened. >> quite a big network of high-speed trains and when you have competition between the high-speed rail and the planes the rail wins. >> why should this be a government decision, they don't like the free market, that's why, beware anytime a democrat uses children to push an unpopular, unwise policy proposal and just as with covid school closures for the kids safety, ditto for electric school buses, >> 25 million children and thousands of drivers ride to and from school on diesel buses breathing toxic fumes. making the switch from diesel to electric is about improving the health and well-being of our children, of our future. >> no applause there. is that stupidity doesn't scare you remember who will be in charge of the biden harris plan? >> national climate advisor jennifer granholm. i think of the good friend she's referring to. under secretary of energy and this is the kenworth fuel-cell vehicle we are about to ride in. are you not exciting? we have a deal. a bipartisan infrastructure framework deal. it is awesome. it is big and it is beautiful and bold. >> these are credibly smart talented people, and they are not alone. who knew a former rhodes scholar could have such foresight. >> people who stand to benefit most from owning an ev are often rural residents with the longest businesses to drive and bring the most gas. >> does he not realize farmers often need to drive long distances for which a battery is not always practical or maybe the farmer should all travel on something a little more creative. can you imagine president biden on that contraption. is reading scripts other people wrote for him including a recently me of things you will get if you buy an easy after the build back better package including the $4,500 tax credit if the vehicle is assembled domestically with union labor. another obvious payoff to the union. which one of the smartest integrators on the planet, elon musk doesn't like, he recommended president biden kill the bill. >> i would say honestly don't pass it, that's my recommendation. >> the billionaires of the world economic forum in davos believe they do know best and spoke openly earlier this year about a wholesale transformation necessary among independent nations across the globe. >> 2021 is a critical year to reestablish trust in our ability to shape our common future in collective and constructive ways. >> construction must be transformation. >> capabilities that work for everyone. >> a true resetting of capitalism requires smashing the united states and also mean everyone's standard of living here will go down as prices for energy go up. that means wasting billions of things like he the charging stations across the letter installations every year. aside from being completely in over his head president biden revealed the goal, to fight climate change you wants to get as many cars off the road as possible. >> we will take millions of automobiles off the road, off the road, saving tens of millions of barrels of oil, dealing with cleaning out the air. this is not hyperbole. this is the fact. these are facts. laura: i like biking, i like the bike lanes and traditional combustion engine vehicles and driving where i choose, the government has no right to tell us what to do on either front, picking winners and losers, no way, because they declare another emergency, no thanks, the coming lockdowns may look a lot different but the effect will be the same. you have less freedom and a lower standard of living all because the government decrees it as such. we must never allow this to happen in our country and joe manchin should hear from every concerned folder in west virginia, vote for the build back better than donald and your career in office is over. politicians supporting the climate agenda must be beaten at the polls and beaten badly. we don't want to be california with the rolling blackouts, huge crime spikes, economic losses and shrinking population. we will not be lockdown again, not by ago emergency and not by a climate emergency and that is the angle. joining me is dennis desousa, host of the dennis desousa podcast. people think this happen here. credit and what do you think? >> it could happen here and it would be tragic because the car has been the symbol not just of geographical mobility in america but of social mobility. a century ago most americans lived in small towns and most of their life where they were born. the idea you can go someplace else, go to the city, look for a job, create a family, settle somewhere else, the car symbolizes all that and what is interesting about it is this attack on cars, the idea of the freedom embodied by cars is not new. woodrow wilson more than a years ago when he was a resident of princeton attacked the idea of the automobile which was just beginning to be seen on streets in new york and new jersey and basically goes this is a rich man's toy, we can make do with the horse and carriage so we don't need cars, henry ford happily didn't listen to him, went ahead and made the model t and this great social revolution that is equalized chances and prospects around the country, that's what the car symbolizes and that is what the left hates because the car ultimately allows you to be free and allows you ultimately to be free of government control. laura: you can move and get out of the situation in a car. if it is not an electric car and there is gas available you fill your tank and go but if you are plugged in, or have to plug in and for some reason the grid has to be positive or temporarily shutdown your not charged, you're not going anywhere. >> sort of chuckling as i was listening, if you step back there is an element of comedy to this, try to convince somebody i want you to stop driving your car because the temperature of the earth is changing. how much is it changing? changed about a degree and a half over the past 100 years and it's really not obvious how that translates into you've got to stop driving your car. the level of serbian insanity that they say with urgency and gravitas as they tried to intimidate ordinary kind of thinking you don't understand but we do. laura: biden's climate stars giddy at the prospect of destroying our energy industry. >> electric vehicles of the future, get with it. we need to move quickly and we need to move fast in an equitable, sustainable, smart convenient way. once you do you are never going back to fossil fuels, that is all there is to it. laura: doesn't by the logic of what she is saying mean that america's standard of living is going down under any calculus under what she said? >> it doesn't it means something else, we are seeing an attempt to create transfer of power away from the entrepreneurial innovative private-sector towards the government. this is the point elon musk stressed when he said listen, it is entrepreneurs who know how to allocate capital. government is notoriously bad at doing that yet government is determined to transfer the decisions by capital allocation away from people who proved they knew how to do it in the hands of people who are manifestly inept at it. laura: the left has -- use the pandemic to seize control of the life and the economy, planning for the next pandemic, the new york times calling the . the dress rehearsal for the next pandemic adding it is a call to action. whatever progress we have made is not enough. my next guest along with the show warned you long ago this was about control, not public health. joining the alex berenson, there prepping for the next pandemic. i joked on twitter the 2022 or will we wait for the presidential election, has to be universal mail in ballots forever? >> i want to say something, thank you, you, tucker, and full of other people, number 3 on amazon kindle which means it is the best-selling nonfiction book in the united states and the second best-selling book is robert f kennedy's book. people are aware they are not getting good information from most of the media and are desperate for sources and they know they've been lied to the last two years, they know they've been misled, everything public health authorities have said is not true and they are as we said, i hate to say they are disappointed this is coming to a end but it is hard not to have that feeling when you hear the they are pivoting, looking for the next whether it is, or the next pandemic to scare people with so we do need to be aware of all the lies they told and the misstatements and misjudgments that were made in the last two years so that when it happens again if it happens again we will be ready to stand up. laura: cdc director rachel wolinsky was on cbs talking about the new normal. >> we are not really going to get them all clear. we are going to have to live with this. >> that is probably true but i would say we have a lot of control and power to do that as we come together, as we get vaccinated, to those prevention things that work to protect one another and ourselves and our family. >> is and is a clear signal mask mandate, vaccine mandates, lockdowns is their new normal, that is what they prefer, the world they prefer to live in. >> it is deeply ironic, none of it works, nothing works, lockdown didn't work, mask mandate student work, the vaccines at best were short-term fix and their efficacy already faded to close to 0 which is why they are desperate to get you boosted, not clear that worked and the consequences have been real and devastating for the united states and astonishing that none of these people will admit any of this and happily telling you what a good job they did when anybody with eyes can see the response has been disastrous in the united states and worldwide. laura: doctor fauci is still lashing out at the unvaccinated for his own failed policy proof remains. >> why hasn't it done better in terms of her overall death toll? >> there are two things converging here. one is we are dealing with delta. superimposed upon that if we had optimally implemented a vaccine program those numbers would have been down. we've got to do better than that if we really want to get this thing over with. >> no vaccine all last year but lower death so how is it still the unvaccinated? >> is he aware of what is happening in europe where vaccination rates are essentially complete for most of western europe for adults? they are having huge spikes in cases, lots of debts, the vaccines just don't work for very long and the sooner they admit this the better off we will all be but they won't do it. >> appreciate it, congratulations on the book and see you soon. you may have heard this, some of my communications from january 6th were handed to liz cheney in the january 6th committee which you may have heard the twisted characterizations of those text messages. time for me to set the record straight as only i can do, stay there. .. his musical >> is according to the records, multiple fox news hosts new the president needed to act immediately, quote, the president needs to tell people in the capitol to go home. this is hurting all of us. he is destroying his legacy, laura ingraham road. laura: this sent left-wing media hacks into spin and defame mode. of course the regime media was trying to twist this message to harm me as a liar, a hypocrite and sounded the alarm on january 6th but publicly downplayed it. the big lie was peddled by the washington post aaron blake who grossly mischaracterize what i said in an attempt to smear me as a january 6th and i wasn't alone. cnn's she propagandist brian seltzer joined in on this smear first writing they all knew the truth right away. by the night of january 6th ingraham was found in conspiracy. of antifa and excusing the peaceful patriots who created dc based on a lie. the lie he is talking about is that the election was stolen from trump through mass voter fraud. a conspiracy theory i in fact did not push. as for the antifa that i was referring to other accounts that were reported that day which we later clarified is not substantiated. another inconvenient fact. had they bothered to actually watch what i said the night of january 6th or read any of my public tweets from the afternoon of january 6th they couldn't have denied the truth. first, here is the opening of this show on the night of january 6th. earlier today the capitol was under siege by people who can only be described as antithetical to the maga movement which they were likely not all trump supporters and there are some reports antifa sympathizers may have been sprinkled throughout the crowd. we will have more on that later but the point remains if you were a trump supporters hoping to display your support for the president, today's antics at the capitol did just the opposite. those who breached the capitol hill security today whoever they were, they were criminals. i have been to literally dozens of trump events and the criminal actions we saw today do not represent this movement. does that sound like i was downplaying it to you? here are my tweets, public tweets that afternoon. 2:3:07 pm, security breach at the capitol is disgraceful, the president needs to tell everyone to leave the building now. 2:4:04 pm, anyone who thinks this is going to grow the maga movement is delusional, it hurts the movement of the trump legacy and the country. 2:5:03 pm, the president should order us troops to secure the capitol immediately. 3:14 p.m.. when there is any big crowd there will invariably bad actors mixed in. plane will be laid at the feet of the white house if capitol not cleared. this is all public record, obtainable through a quick google search. but of course this wasn't what they wanted and never will be. publicly and privately, i said what i believed, the breach of the capitol on january 6th was a terrible thing, crimes were committed, some people were unfairly hounded and persecuted and prosecuted but it was not an insurrection. to say anything different is beyond dishonest and ignores the facts of that day. as a practical matter there is this inconvenient truth. democrats actually listened to liz cheney and the lincoln project and have gone all in on the january 6th narrative for the entire year of biden's presidency. lots of good that has done some. the more they talk about january 6th, the stronger trump and the gop are becoming in the polls y does the party wants to become an echo chamber of ms nbc? what happened to bring the country together, shutting down covid? has anyone seen msnbc's ratings, they are also out of touch. this afternoon that network literally ran a segment about how the us media is tougher on biden than it is on the gop. the entire january 6th campaign has become one of revenge and defamation. a false characterization and false equivalency. their entire focus was portraying all republicans as january 6th rioters. that is what democrats wanted. all republicans, they say, our white supremacists is what they want to say. they want trump barred from ever serving in public office again. . people like liz cheney will soon lose her wyoming primary. and danziger, quick before the voters can oust them but they will end it probably as msnbc commentators, they will both become democrat lackeys like nicole wallace, bill kristol, the whole crowd, largely irrelevant, with no real constituency but pretty handsomely paid. so the real big lie is the expensive narrative of january 6th, that they've made the center of their political existence so it is time to face facts, shutdown the false narrative and treat cheney and her class the way the american people treat them, by tuning them out. joining me now as byron york, fox news contributor, chief political correspondence was also with me a while congressman jim jordan, house judiciary committee ranking member. let's go to you first. my tweet. i was one of the first people on twitter known to be supportive of donald trump to put that message out there i believe. i might be wrong but i think i was one of the first. do they care to look at any of the public statements on this? >> obviously not. the important thing is the republican bell that weyesterday what you said in a private text to mark meadows, we can evaluate the text and say who could disagree with the word of the text that you sent. it would have been much better for everybody if donald trump had followed that advice immediately and made a forceful call for people to leave the capitol immediately. that was good advice and you and other people, including the president's son were giving it to them. that is a separate issue from this reflexive opportunistic anti-fox criticism you were talking about and today is just another day in that. a new example that there will be something else next week and the week after that. it is just another effort to go after fox. laura: what is amazing to me is the regime media spins are courtesy of cheney, jen psaki and white house picked it up today so she just repeats what all the other liars said. watch. >> it is disappointing and not surprising that some of the same individuals who were willing to mourn, condemn and express for over what happened on january 6th in private were totally -- in private were totally silent in public or even worse were spreading lies and conspiracy theories and continue to. laura: this is shameless and it is not working. >> it's not working but the real take away is what they are doing to a good man. i said this on the house for make no mistake what they are doing today is trying to put a good man in prison. do we think america carbon, the same guy who took 5 days to treat parents as terrorists because the left-wing political organization, ask him to use the patriot act go after mom and dad do we really think he's not going to put mark meadows in prison for what, being a good public servant, this is crazy? think about it. we weren't allowed to move the anonymous whistleblower was during impeachment but they get to versa rate executive privilege, something that's been around since george washington asserted in 1794, this is crazy what democrats are doing and the american people get it but the hard left to control the democrat party they are going to keep doing this kind of stuff if we don't stop them so we have to speak out and make sure the next election is coming, the american people again to say time out to all this garbage from all the bad policy and all the things you are doing to violate the constitution in sacred principles and president we've had in this country since the first president. >> the executive privilege question regarding certain communications is a little bit murky, we will see where the court goes on that but i will say this. this strategy of following his cheney and adam consider, i tweeted earlier tonight do you think obama or clinton would have been that stupid to follow those two anywhere for strategy or inspiration? >> there are worries in the democratic side about what is going on and there's a connection between the haste that you see in their pursuing this executive privilege case and mark meadows has the strongest case as he was white house chief of staff at the time. if anybody have a case for executive privilege it would be mark meadows and one could wait for them to be a final decision but the haste you are seeing does reflect a worry that they are going to stretch this investigation into next year. it is meant ultimately to damage donald trump and the republican party but the worry is it will damage democratic fortunes in the midterms as well because if we know anything, it is the voters are concerned about the economy, they are concerned about inflation, they are concerned about their standard of living, that's the issue and they're worried about being on the wrong side. >> a loser strategy. it is good for the republicans, terrible for the democrats in this country but we just have to deal with it the way it is. thank you. the white house continues to make lame excuses for the lagging economy. senator tom cotton is here on our biden is attempting to a lot of them as he created himself, stay right there. laura: the price index measures inflation it the wholesale level of 9.6% year over year growing at the fastest rate ever measured but don't worry the -- the white house as a convenient scapegoat for rising prices. >> the president, secretary of agriculture spoke to the greed of meat conglomerates, the prices are higher, that is in his view and the view of the secretary of agriculture because of that. >> meat conglomerates. senator tom cotton is with us from arkansas. i heard a lot of things before but now it is the meat conglomerates, darn it. >> they are blaming everyone for this record inflation, we've had this pandemic for two years, we didn't have record inflation in 2020, we only had it in 2021 when democrats were in charge spending trillions of dollars to make sure there's more money chasing fewer goods because of all the lockdowns and capacity restrictions. first it was oil and gas companies, notice meat conglomerates. maybe next week it will be the elf on the shelf when there aren't enough christmas presents under the tree. laura: did you have to bring that up? there was a dnc holiday party tonight, neither of us have been invited biden was there and it was feeling pretty bold. >> we want a unified democratic party more unified than ever. now we look at 2022. i want to tell my republican friends get ready, pal, you are in for a problem. we need to stay unified as we have to keep making the case and if we do i believe we are going to win. laura: last time i checked, democrats are having greater doubts about biden than ever before, independents are off the charts, biden's job approval. does he know a poll but we don't? >> the democrats are going to be unified in a massive historic defeat next november if they continue to pursue this massive and reckless tax and spending. we just learned friday, if you limit the budget gimmicks, $5 trillion of spending, $3 trillion of new deficit spending, it would do things like give amnesty to illegal immigrants, devastate faith-based and family-based child care. implement major parts of the green new deal to make it more expensive to drive pickup trucks and suvs while rich people get tax breaks to buy electric vehicles and it would continue to add more fuel to the fire of inflation that is hurting so many families. the american people spoke clearly last month in places like virginia, new jersey, long island, minneapolis, seattle and they're going to face a massive defeat in november. >> i thought i had heard it all until tonight on msnbc where they tried to point out a real problem with biden's agenda is there not getting enough credit from the media for all their accomplishments. >> you really is not seen a good headline in 6 months and the reality also use the press is simply covering biden the way his opponents would want him to be covered. nothing positive biden has done has gotten any coverage. >> what positive has biden done, sorry but in trying to think of that today. >> i'm sure m s nbc, tens and tens of viewers across the country will believe that but for the rest of us it is just a matter of looking at the scoreboard as they used to say in football games, the scoreboard doesn't lie, look at the disastrous and humiliating withdrawal from afghanistan earlier this year or record inflation. in november president biden said he was going to do something after it was announced there was record high inflation and he did. in december we now have 40 record high inflation of the crime wave across the country, now you have left-wing looting mobs going out, the first rob from home depot, crowbars and hammers and use those to rob the jewelry stores and electronic stores, the fact don't lie. president biden and the democratic party delivered failure after failure. that's why the american people aren't buying what democrats are selling. laura: i have to ask about ms. cheney and her obsession with text messages to mark meadows. i've read all my public tweets that day, they totally match what i said to meadows and what i said at night but she is like a woman obsessed. have you checked on her lately? chatted with her on text message. i to see her text messages. >> i did see what you said earlier and what sean hannity said in the same is true brian kelly, uber texting mark meadows to encourage him to get the violence under control, that is what you and brian and so many of us set on january 6th, that we cannot tolerate any kind of writing or violence for chaos, the same things we said through 2020 when you have left-wing blm mobs committing arson. i don't stand immediate's obsession with you and sean and brian and others saying privately what you said publicly on january 6th this year. laura: thank you. appreciate it. in moments, an update to the store the transgender university of pennsylvania swimmer, teammates are not exactly okay with what is going on there, so stay there. ♪ ♪ >> the team has been unbelievably supportive, teammates and coaches as well, very supportive, treated like any other member of the olympic team. >> thomas's teammates don't have the same about a biological male on the team, one of them telling out kick everyone individual has spoken to our coaches about not liking this. a second thing, her teammates feel so discouraged that no matter how hard they work they put in their going to lose. joining me is a student athlete at florida atlantic university and legal counsel for alliance defending freedom. as someone who has gone through what these female swimmers you 10 are facing you went through it on the track for track and field. with the response to what you just heard from the transgender athlete. >> it is very frustrating this has happened at another sporting college but i'm very proud of those girls for talking to their coaches and i encourage them to go public even more than being anonymous and ask for a return to their sport. >> these swimmers are actually in my mind afraid of speaking out publicly, look at what they did to celebrated author jk rowling, they tried to shut her, she's a multibillionaire, incredible talents, liberal by the way on most issues but they slice and dice the girls. >> it is disgraceful that woke ideologues are silencing women like university pennsylvania athlete saying no to men in their sport. you and i both know this is happening across the country in other contexts, women trying to say no to men in their private space, homeless shelters and prisons. we need reality based laws that reflect the men and women are different so i commend young women for standing up and pushing back against men competing in their sport. >> i was an athlete, you know how hard it is to compete against other women, very difficult but now you're competing against biological male athletes who actually swam as men, biological men. this is on an athlete level, how does that feel? >> a frustrating and demoralizing experience. no matter how hard we train we will never beat someone who is biologically male no matter how many hours we put in it will not matter because there is no way we can compete physically. laura: you were a top runner in the state of connecticut. didn't you lose a couple of your records to these biological male athletes? >> i did not lose any of my school records but there were state records held by other girls that were broken. 15 state records were broken between the two of them. laura: the statewide records broken, even worse. we will be following this and tracking it, thanks. updates on the meadows contempt vote, we will bring those to you in moments. do you take aspirin? plain aspirin could be hurting your stomach. new vazalore is the first liquid-filled aspirin capsule clinically shown to cause fewer ulcers than plain aspirin. vazalore is designed to help protect... releasing aspirin after it leaves your stomach... where it is absorbed to give you the benefits of life saving aspirin... to help prevent another heart attack or stroke. heart protection with your stomach in mind. try new liquid-filled vazalore. aspirin made amazing! >> laura: we have a historic jump in prices for america we have gas prices through the roof, we have people desponding about laura: a historic jump in prices for americans, gas prices through the roof, people despond around christmas, worried about their kids, the kids future in this is what the bozos in the house committee, the shame continues even at this hour. these democrats don't care about inflation or how difficult your life is, they want to hold mark meadows in contempt because they think is going to hurt trump and worried that he's going to come back and beat them all again. that is it for us tonight. never forget show that you know what is at stake by buying your usa made freedom year, all the proceeds go to the big oak ranch this month. gutfeld next. jillian: it is wednesday december 15th this is a fox news alert from the kentucky candle factory where workers said they would be fired if they left during the deadly tornadoes is the subject of the state investigations the forklift operator who was inside and miraculously survived being buried under a concrete slab will join us to share his unbelievable story. >> liberal leaders feeling t
