richard blumenthal live for decades about fighting communists, now he is openly profiting off of them. dennis desousa exposes the fraud. and alarming report from the southern border where a saudi national with potential territories was apprehended, bringing you the shocking detail. but first in case you thought the freak out over the omicron very it was about science, not controlling your life take a look at what happened the last few days starting with cnn, the south african doctor who first discovered the omicron variant tried laying out the facts about this mutation today. >> once we got to see what occurred, it is going down, around 50%, he will go with this. we don't see a high death rate with omicron. jason:keep in mind only 27% of eligible south africans are vaccinated and are already over the curve. in the united states it is 61%. despite this and the variant's mildness the white house spent the weekend inducing panic. >> we are intent on not letting on disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. we've done the right thing and we will get through this, for the unvaccinated you are wintering of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm. >> if anyone and was trying to stoke division and hatred and all-out panic it is that guy, lest you think this was by the president, the chief of staff endorsed this last night saying the truth is the truth. adding to the insanity, doctor doom and gloom himself made this prediction over the weekend. >> will begin to the point we don't wear masks on airplanes? >> i don't think so. >> joining me now is a board-certified medical doctor and phd research scientist and the president of the committee to unleash prosperity, thank you for joining us tonight on the ingraham angle. i want to start with you. they talk about the long winter of, doesn't get any more disastrous than that. >> we have to put everything into context. when they talk about the long winter of that who is at risk? we know the omicron variant is spreading like wildfire, it went from 3% of the us population covid positive omicron to 73% today and climbing which means that the dominant variant. when that becomes the dominant variant it pushes all the others out and it means we are having a less fatal, less severe variant taking over, we are getting more infections, severity, what does that translate into? missteps, fewer hospitalizations on a per capita basis. we may see a temporary short-lived bullet for a couple weeks of a lot of cases and many dead solely because of the sheer number of people infected all at once but once that is over just like south africa that may be over. we need to take a measured response to this, not panic but ask ourselves who needs to be protected? other people who are at risk, people were elderly, people who are sick even if they are vaccinated or especially unvaccinated they are the people you want to protect, get early treatment, get masked and stay away from crowds and other people and if they don't they are treated to that but we have to give in my new is at risk and pick those people out and make sure those people are protected more than just locking down all of society. jason: that's what they talk about, doctor fauci is talking about masks forever but previously they said you can get vaccinated or have a mask, now they are talking about masks in perpetuity forever. >> it is pretty disturbing in the context of airplanes. airplanes are one of the safest indoor environments because the rate of a change is astronomically high. 20% to 30 times per hour, the best lab study we shows the best mass, a fitted and 95 type mask is not effective at reducing aerosol transmission is two air changes per hour. i argue they never should have been mass on airplanes, never justified and the triumph of theater over science and logic. >> putting a mask on a number-year-old child traveling across country when they are not at the high risk level i always thought that was ridiculous. i want to share this tweet. new york city public school made the kids eat outside while sitting on the ground due to their insane covid protocols with 32 degrees in new york city and i am sure it was even colder and some wind chill was fox news called ps321 this afternoon and they confirmed they had eaten outside but were moved inside because they probably got caught and they say because of the weather but this is ridiculous how we are treating children. look at the picture. they are not allowed to stick close to each other outside. >> i agree. with children, they are the least likely to get sick, the least likely to die and we are putting a disproportionate amount of effort trying to protect kids were the ones least likely to die from this where is we are not putting the effort on our most elderly. if we done these measures for nursing home residents in march of 2020 we read had fewer depth but we are doing the wrong thing, forcing kids to become inconvenienced, uncomfortable for no reason whatsoever, there is no evidence whatsoever in any published medical literature or even in common sense that forcing kids to be outside in the cold when they are trying to eat as any impact on the rate of spread or the rate of deaths in children, doesn't make sense yet people do this out of intense desire to have an abundance of caution or the theatrics of this, to have this outward expression of caring. they are well-intentioned but they should take that caring and apply it where it counts and they can make an impact without harming little kids. jason: what they are going through, the psychological. it was president biden said he was going to shut down the virus, not shutdown the economy but the exact opposite has happened at this point. i tend to think doctor fauci has got to go. america needs a second opinion because it is just not working and i don't believe what the administration tells us because they flip-flop on just about everything. >> the problem we have is not an abundance of caution anymore, an abundance of stupidity and we are suffering from a well the pandemic responses, not just the are harming children who are no greater risk than any normal respiratory virus but the insistence we continue to append american life indefinitely and the panic we are now seeing overlook which should be a good news story if it takes the place of delta because it is so much more mild companies have been extraordinarily reckless and both fauci and collins need to be replaced with people with almost no public profile. we have a huge problem in the people who dole out billions of dollars of grant money are the public face of policy campaigns and scare campaigns because it means all of the doctors who depend on them for all their grant money feel they can't step out of line, it is got to be a priority that whoever runs nih next is somebody no one ever heard of and keeps a low profile. >> i think you are absolutely right, especially doctor fauci when he has time to be on the cover of in style magazine he's not doing his job and to hold the grant money is a carrot is a total conflict of interest. thank you for your expertise in joining us tonight. shocking new emails show the nih's mute lead men, doctor fauci and doctor francis collins coordinated a smear campaign against a group of scientists who oppose covid lockdowns after they appeared on this show. matt kim has that next. >> emails from fauci and collins were sent 3 days after a group of epidemiologists and scientists appeared on the ingraham angle discussing the barrington declaration which was signed in october last year by dozens of public health experts and scientists from around the world urging against lockdowns rating and partly have grave concerns about the damage prevailing policies. current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. our goal should be to minimize mortality and social harm and reach heard in the unity. outside declaration outgoing national health institute director doctor francis collins email doctor fauci writing their needs to be a quick and devastating takedown of its premises. i don't see anything like that yet. is underway? collins called scientists and doctors who signed the declaration fringe epidemiologist, fauci responded with articles that debunked the great barrington declaration, one from wired title there is no scientific divide overheard immunity. another article from the nation with the headline selfish protection, immunity and other deadly delusions. when asked about the email exchange, the city stands by it. >> this is before we had vaccines and basically i will call them fringe epidemiologist who did not have the credentials to make such a grand sweeping statement reducing just let the virus run through the population and eventually everyone will have had it and we will be okay. hundreds of thousands of people would have died if we had followed that strategy. >> collins were another email to doctor fauci october 13th with a link to a washington post article is quoted with headline stating the great there and declaration proposal appalls top scientists. housing responded, quote, what you citizens i would correct. jason: thank you very much. my next guest was one of the targets of fauci and collins's mayor campaign. joining me now, stanford school of medicine professor and original signer of the great barrington declaration, you got your medical degree from stanford, you've been at stanford more than 20 years, hardly call you somebody on the fringe but i heard what doctor collins tried to characterize what this declaration said it seems to me he got it entirely wrong. >> he straight up lie, so that we want to the virus to rip through the population and doctor fauci -- risk strategy. anyone who reads the great barrington declaration, go look online, there is not -- that phrase does not appear in it because the central idea of the great benton declaration is protection of the vulnerable, a thousandfold difference in the risk of severe outcomes. we know the elderly and old people in certain people with chronic diseases have high risk of bad outcomes if infected, the great benton declaration said let's focus on protecting those people. at the same time the lockdowns were harming so many other people especially kids who were locked out of school especially for kids and so we argued for opening up society for the rest while protecting the vulnerable. what i was expecting was an honest discussion. instead what we got was lies from the head of the nih. absolutely shocking. >> did you think they would target you? they want to, quote, devastating response and takedown of what you were advocating, it wasn't just you. scientists from all over the world were signing on to this? >> tens of thousands of scientists and doctors signed on to this. the problem is doctor collins sits on top of $40 billion worth of money that go to other scientists to fund research. when he said he wants a devastating takedown you have the resources to find people to do that, they went to friendly press, spread their propaganda lies about the barrington declaration to not engage with the ideas in it. they didn't take out its premises. if they thought it was impossible to protect the vulnerable they should have said that. the major problem was it correctly pointed out the enormous collateral harm from the lockdown policies. isolation, people lost businesses, going to the doctor for cancer screening, in poor countries tens of millions of people starving in the lockdown, they didn't want to address those harmed so they engaged in a propaganda campaign. jason: pretty amazing you had 15,000 scientists sign on to this and it is shocking they would try to attack you. one of the fundamental problems in his whole approach, these doctors, doctor fauci and doctor collins was they took a policy position and try to backfill it with the science instead of having the science out there and have the discussion we talk about, for being engaged in the discussion and not being intimidated by those in political power so thank you for joining us tonight. joe manchin delivers two big christmas gifts for america and leaves colin biden's stockings but now that build back better

does the bill truly dire do they resurrect part of it? >> this christmas i am thanking god that i live in the free state of florida, thankful for my family and thankful for senator joe manchin for stepping up and having courage to withstand cancel culture, they thought they could threaten his family, intimidate him in his home, chases colleague into bathrooms and use the same tactics that worked for them that didn't work on the senator from west virginia because he never forgot who he worked for, he works for those west virginians and their values and goals and dreams and aspirations and not the squad. we will see where it goes from here. such a massive overreach. any rational actor would try to break this bill apart and pass individual pieces of it. a green new deal plus 100 government programs combined. one would think they would take 30% here, 20% there but instead it was the home run, the whole and shallot and it completely has now imploded. >> i think a few senators would have voted no. they had behind manchin and let him be up front but the people i talked to on capitol hill, are actually more than just senator manchin but the way of the white house going after him and other members, that is not smart politics because the majority of people were opposed to this, 50 republicans plus joe manchin. if you do anything else in the united states senate you've got have manchin's vote, don't have a regain his trust. >> you know, jason, as well as i do, trust is everything here and once it is broken especially once you start vilifying somebody's family, it is incredibly hard to get back and look, they need him more than he needs them and you are right, this scorched-earth policy is blowing back on some. i don't know where they go from here. i hope he reconsiders what representative andrew from new jersey reconsiders and come on over, joe manchin, you're welcome to come over to our side. >> one swing of his vote and guess what, mitch mcconnell becomes majority leader. it would be quite stunning if that happened. thank you for joining us on the ingraham angle. what i'm about to read to you -- >> i have to say this. didn't agree with obamacare, wasn't the death of democracy. every senator, every, spin's vote matters. jason: it does. thanks again. what i'm about to read you is one of the most unhinged things i have ever seen, this is what the washington post sought to print from three retired military generals, quote, as we approach the first anniversary of the deadly insurrection at the us capitol, we are concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military which will put all-americans in severe -- are they really worried about insubordination? if they were they would be called out for the firing of general mark really. it is because of political hacks like him that americans confidence in the military has plummeted. joining me is victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the institution and kurt selector, senior columnist at townhall.com. i want to start with you, it is dramatic to say the least, what these people are saying happen after the 2024 election. >> put it in context, this follows two weeks of democratic talking points the 2022, 2024 may see the end of democracy, they are not worried democracy is not working. they are worried it is working too well and they've lost the confidence of the american people and there will be a big push back in both those years in the congress and the presidency so they are preempting, that's one thing at least weekly generals are very ironic because donald trump was not president more than 11 days and we had an influential obama legal counsel right in foreign-policy there are three ways to get rid of this new president and one of them would be considered was a military coup. we have two distinguished retired officers, lieutenant colonel, who a letter urging millie to remove trump if there was a contested election. we had people like president biden bragging that the former joint chiefs would help them remove trump. we had general belief violating the chain of command which is expressly for bitten to the chairman of the joint chiefs. we had a dozen retired 4-star admirals and generals who violated the uniform code of military justice and disparaged their commander-in-chief with terms like nazi light, mussolini like, compared his policies to auschwitz so this has been going on. the military in recent library poli 45% now have confidence in the us military. if they want to restore and they have to restore that support they better keep out of these divisive politics, stop the woke virtue signaling and performance art and they should also work on military preparedness and strategic deterrence which we apparently have lost when you look at what russia and china have been doing and more controversially when they get out of the military at the 4-star that will just take a hiatus, four or five years before you evolve into military contract or board membership and monetize your knowledge of the system, that would be wise to do. jason: we seem to have more discussions about which bathrooms engenders should use at whatever time, let's prepare the fight with china or russia or whoever adversaries might be at the moment. one of the authors this op-ed was on cnn earlier tonight. i you to listen to this. >> all kinds of commanders and soldiers refusing to take their shots. that shows the weaknesses we have in the military to be consumed by political thoughts instead of thinking about our country. we love our country, we need to prepare now for the next coup. >> what your reaction to that? >> i'm a retired colonel. i'm not impressed by generals just because they been a couple stars on their shoulders and i think the american people are coming up with that. is professor hansen said it is usually is right and everything he said, he pointed out reagan institutes 45% of americans approve of the military now. i cited that for my next book just the other day, in 2018 it was 70%. these guys have presided over a free fall of the american people's confidence in the military which was once the only institution we still had any respect for. i'm listening to these guys and all i hear is i don't trust my soldiers, they are not going to listen to me, they won't take the vaccine. it would never occurred to me my troops wouldn't follow me but i guess i was coming up on a different army. for instance in my army like today's air force we did not add pronouns to our signature plots. we were serious about war fighting a serious in winning and i was in the last war that we unequivocally won, operation desert storm. it has been 30 years. if these guys were coming off a spring of victories, put some in the w column i might be more willing to listen to them but all i see is a bunch of guys who figure out they can't speed any foreigners so maybe give it a shot with some americans. maybe they will do better but i kind of doubt it. it is an embarrassment. jason: we are out of time. quickly, 20 seconds each. why the scare tactic? what do they think they will achieve? 20 seconds each? >> they are preempting, they want to scare conservatives and traditionalists to back off, not tried to get voter id and have free and fair elections will say if you are planning a cruise earlier doing this because they are losing support and are terrified of the midterm disaster next year. jason: a lot of truth to that. >> we are not going to be talking about this cool nonsense in 2000 before, we're going to talk about the map successful invasion of ukraine and the chinese successful seizure of taiwan and i pray we are not talking about thousands and thousands of american casualties with this level of incompetence makes that almost a foregone conclusion. i am word and i think doctor hansen is willing too and we all need to get our military back into shape into a war fighting frame of mind. jason: we need to have the biggest baddest military but confide on two fronts and win. thank you for your expertise and thanks for joining us tonight. the border patrol catch potential terrorists trying to sneak across are woefully unprotected southern border, the shocking details when we return. >> jason: distressing news from the southern border where border patrol agents in the yuma sector announced they jason: border patrol agent in yuma announced they apprehended a 21-year-old saudi michael with potential terror ties. >> reporter: border patrol in arizona report they have arrested a potential terrorist who crossed illegally. look at these photos put out by border patrol, this man, 21-year-old saudi man crossed illegally from mexico thursday, they arrested him once he came across, they state has ties to known subjective interest in human and as you can see he was wearing an ems jacket. we looked it up. it belongs to the central volunteer ambulance corps who are based out of upstate new york. we called them today and their chief told us they have no idea who this man is, he never worked for them, they don't know how he got one of their jackets considering they are in new york and is happen in arizona and they have serious questions about what happened, no further details have been released by the border patrol, this plays into the argument that president biden's critics had about his border policy, leaving is open to threats like this, actors who are trying to get into the country, thankfully border patrol was able to take this person into custody they are describing is a potential terrorist. back to you. jason: my next guest represents the state on the front line of the border wars, texas lieutenant governor dan patrick joins us. thank you for joining us on the ingraham angle, the border is closed, there's no problem there, but i don't think so. >> they would be lying to say that or clueless and i don't believe they are clueless is this is a plan they have set about to let millions of people invade our country and they don't care who they are including terrorists. tomorrow the president is going to address the nation on omicron. what he should be addressing the nation is on issue is the border and terrorists coming into the country. is anyone surprised by this? are you? i am not. 173,000 people will probably cross the border this month alone, 2 million this year, we caught one today. how many more do you think of come in? this president doesn't care. look, mister president, here's my address to you on behalf of millions looking at the poll numbers who would agree with me, a year ago you took the oath of office, solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of the president of the united states and to the best of my ability, i will preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the united states. you are not living up to that oath, mister president. people are dying on the border. we are in danger of terrorism. two weeks ago i was here last week, burying someone who went through a stoplight, kill them dead, never knew what hit them. people in sex trafficking, children, women being kidnapped in sex trafficking. we have fentanyl coming over killing americans, criminal gangs coming over and he does nothing. he is not upholding his oath of office and america is at risk. jason: listen to the da administrator talking about the problem of fentanyl coming into the country. >> the cartels will do anything to get drugs in any way you can imagine. we see them coming through the border. fentanyl quantities are deadly and externally potent and addictive. it is not in years past where someone would bring kilos into the united states. it is almost minuscule quantities right now so the threat is changed enormously. >> we are building the wall. >> i talked to donald trump about the couple years ago instead of congress won't let you we can build in texas. we commenced on doing that. we committed this year alone over $4 billion. president of the senate, $4 billion to send national guard, the public safety troops to the border. we are doing everything we humility can and this president does nothing, he does not care about the lives of american citizens, he doesn't care about those that bind in afghanistan, he doesn't care about those being killed by fentanyl, criminals crossing the border and think of this, remember on 9/11 there were 19 terrorists, 15 from saudi arabia where this guy was caught from. they are here and they can plan an attack and this president needs to uphold the oath that he swore to, unless he was crossing his fingers when he took took a wink and doesn't really care, he's being controlled by communist and marxist and socialist to want to overthrow this country and one of the ways they want to do it is an open border and they are willing for americans to die for them to succeed in their agenda. the oath of office, mister president, you swore an oath of office to the people of this country and you are not living up to that of, secured his border tonight. jason: it is not happening and kamala harris is doing her job as well. lieutenant governor patrick, thank you for joining us. dick blumenthal is at it again, turns out he has ties to the communist beyond the lies about serving in vietnam, lay them out for you next, stay with us. ♪ ♪ bold >> connecticut senator richard blumenthal once more about fighting against communist commonalities openly working with them. what joining? for starters the democrat has a 6-figure investment in real estate development company with links to the chinese communist party. and earlier this month blumenthal was a surprise speaker at an awards gala to commemorate the 100 second anniversary of the founding of the communist party in the united states. the senator claims he didn't know what this event was but we will it you decide for yourself. have a look. >> thank you all, this is a beautiful tribute from all of our labor leaders on how important the communist party is in our movement, not just in connecticut but across the whole world. there is more and more people talking now about socialism in this country as it becomes more and more clear that capitalism is not going to work for our future. please welcome senator blumenthal. [applause] laura: joining me is dennis desousa and chris bedford, founding partner at wright forge and the federalist. thank you so much for joining us. i to start with you because the senator now claims i didn't know it was to celebrate communists. all you have to do is go google it or whatever you are going to do and use introduced by the person talking about the celebration for the communist party, come on. i don't know what his ways, he says i didn't know or that he actually did do it. >> a party sponsored by the connecticut people's world party, pretty obvious to anyone with an ounce of sense especially someone who has been around as long as the senator has that this is a communist event and any.remaining maybe when they call the communist in the introduction speech that would have to thomas but this is a classic game people play in washington dc where they lands with communist weather here in connecticut or in china where they are investments, making money, and different things or silicon valley or washington dc they work with the communists and always say we didn't know about this, didn't know about that but the truth is out there because of this 100 year anniversary, 100 years of most brutal crimes against humanity by the communist, 100 years of oppression, 100 years of mass murder, 100 years of censorship, these are their friends, where they are making money and he talks about i'm a fan of capitalism in america will his actions speak lower than words and we can see this. >> he and his wife evidently made between 100, and 250,$000 investments or have that amount of holding in a retail center in china. tell us about this because now the senators claiming he knows nothing about it. >> not sure which is more appalling, the duplicity, one thing if they were to say we want to be transparent about them but the fact that they are being duplicitous and cagey about it suggests they've got something to hide, this fish rots from the head. obviously it is biden that is established the precedent of democrats making money with foreign regimes and in a sense in biden's case the family members in so so perhaps blumenthal could say i'm just doing what the boss is doing a much bigger level. this is a dangerous situation. if we think back to the days of the cold war imagine the outrage if we had us senators collecting money from instruments of the old soviet union, china is much more dangerous because they have more money, they are more cunning, have more modern weaponry, so we are in a sense in the new cold war with a more formidable opponent and we've got our elected representatives closing up in some cases in bed with the bad guys. jason: only 20 seconds each but house of the mainstream media never reports on this stuff. we ask that question all the time but come on, this is the third time the senator, i have no idea. >> because there will be repercussions if they do. >> domestic work and stuff as political opponents and they don't mind any of the foreign dealings of their own teams so they can be stronger in the domestic cold war they care about. >> i didn't call you out. final thoughts. >> americans need to understand silicon valley, the nba and a lot of their politicians are comfortable dealing with our enemies, people who went to a process and sensor us, this is a wake-up call in the media is part of that, they don't want to lose any of the money and are more afraid of china than they are the american people. jason: americans need to follow the money, when the city united states and it doesn't celebrate the anniversary of the communist party in the united states every one of us should be outraged by this and people in connecticut better stand up and do something about it. thank you for joining us. looks like sleepy joe is rubbing off on doctor fauci the last bite explains, we will be right back. >> jason: it turns out it is will jason: it is not just biden who seems to be losing his mind. >> in some respects it is semantics. >> you are doing a round-robin involving sunday shows but i'm jake, not chuck. >> that is all for tonight. be sure to check out my podcast jasoninthose about featuring fox's bill nilhugein. greg gutfeld is next. todd: president biden set to unveil the next step in the pandemic plan during his address the nation hours from now but as mandates mount across the country the big question is another lockdown coming? we are live in washington. >> surely we can move one person. i am from west virginia not where they are from. todd: joe manchin not ducking to
