According to politco, rabid open borders zealot. Congressman Louise Gutierrez will not run for reelection. The reason is not clear. Its odd. Surprises me if its true. Well update you if we learn later on. The last time i saw him, he was arrested at the white house in august representing Illegal Immigrants. His community, the Illegal Immigrants that he says he represents. Thats great news. In another story, another shocker, racializing the royals. That is the focus of tonights angle. Harry and meghan blew brexit off the front page by announcing their engagement. They traveled to africa and found true love. Usually refreshing to get to know someone who isnt necessarily in your circle, doesnt know much about me, i know much about her. So the start afresh from the beginning, getting to know each other and taking the huge leap of two dates and getting together in the middle of know where and sharing a tent. It was fantastic. Laura how sweet. When Buckingham Palace announced the harry markle engagement, Prince Charles couldnt be more pleased. Theyre very happy indeed. Thats all i can say. Laura i feel like i need a translator. He was happy. Expecting a proud father. It was the reaction on social media. I read this on the way in to work. I was screaming, laughing and scribing. It was a shocker. Moments after the engagement was announced, the social media was awash in racial overtones. This is all because Meghan Markles father is white and her mother is black. So tweets and facebook posts were harping on her racial identity. Warning, you have to forgive me here, a lack of basic grammar and punctuation as in many tweets. Here we go. Some folks in england are about to lose their minds. Meghan markle is biracial. Shes older than she is and shes an american actress. Blackroyalty. Another one. Good time to remind everyone that Meghan Markle is black. Since i know youll try and whitewash the out of her. Another. Meghan markles mother is a black African American woman, social worker from l. A. With sista locks. Man look, if thats blank, dont make you smile big. Congrats to the royal fam bam. You couldnt be more lucky to get both. Another one, Meghan Markle is white passing. She looks white. Shes not someone that likes Jasmine Sanders who has light eyes and very light skin, but you can tell is black biracial. I straight up thought that was a tanned white woman. Another. How much black is Meghan Markle . I just want to know so i know how much blackness to expect from the wedding. Is she black enough for the cupid shuffle waddle . Royalengagement. Another to torch. You with. Yall, Meghan Markle is a mixed race. We have a black princess. Actually, Meghan Markle will not be a princess. Shell be a duchess. I know were fascinated by royalty, but must we transfer our racial hangups on this young happy couple . Cant we just celebrate and be happy for their engagement and leave it at that . As for the racially obsessed and point of fact, markle will not be the official black royal in europe. That would be this woman. The beautiful princess angela lickenstein that married in 2000. Meghan markles race is probably the least interesting part of this story. Why am i saying that . It turns out the queen is permitting harry to wed not only a divorcee, but a woman that was raised catholic. So lets forget about the race and how she identifies. Weve had a biracial president of the United States about now to have a biracial part of the royal family. It doesnt always have to be around race. Lets get back to my cyber monday shopping. A Royal Wedding medallion and plate that i can order. Its apparently 75 off. I dont care about the color of the plate. Thats the angle. Joining us now to analyze, horace cooper. The cochair of project 21 and from new york. Clay king, from sirius xm radio. Horace, lets start with you. The morning, going to work, going to do my radio show. I start seeing there were some tweets that were so profane as is twitter is want to be that were so over the top. Like get ready, bees. This is our bee who will be in Buckingham Palace. Getting things wrong about that. Why does everything have to be about race here . Why is it relevant to this . Its not relevant. Its actually sad and pitiful. Heres the thing. If this were 1955 and i saw some of these kind of comments, id go, which segregationist racist said this today . They noticed in the 1940s and the 1950s every single aspect about anybodys race as their primary attribute. It wasnt is this person going to pay their bill, is this person going to buy this house and be a good neighbor. It was what color was their grandmother . That kind of weird fixation. And we got away from it, but all of a sudden progressives have brought it back. Too many times i dont hear anybody on the left saying stop that. Dont do that. They condemn a lot of white americans and many republicans who werent even around actively Holding Office in the south for their silence while this misbehavior was taking place. Were here now. People are around. Why arent we seeing condemnations . Some of the things you said, that was outrageous. Not just bad, outrageous. Laura clay, lets go to you on this. The future duchess actually has said before when she was dating harry, she said she found it disheartening and discriminatory that some in the media were focusing on her racial identity and not just on their relationship because it centered on her racial background. Why the obsession with her race when its just a happy couple . Arent we supposed to be about the content of our character, not the color of our skin in arent we there yet . What youre talking about is a comment she made to the British Press. They called her like an l. A. Gangster, straight out of compton. The British Press made her race an issue. Prince harry said stop doing that. I feel like horace is saying that were post racial. That race doesnt exist. For a lot of black mixed race people in britain, this is something to be about. I can find tweets that are calling meghan horrible names. Its a good thing. Its to be celebrated. If you know the history of the royal family, this is a bit of history like when you have somebody breaking ground, you can celebrate that. Pulling out random silly tweets from somebody, whoever they are, is ridiculous. Horace always acts like racism is over. It doesnt exist. It does exist. Its celebrating progress. Laura what does this has nothing to do with racism. Thats the point here, at all. Its a happy couple. So you say your breaking ground. She wasnt elected. She fell in love with someone. Why is that breaking ground . If you know the history of the royal family, you dont see many black or mixed race people in the royal family. Again, youre laura thats not why harry is marrying her. Its still symbolic. Laura no, its not. Its important. If you dont think its important, youre not a black or mixed race person laura okay. I have to ask both of you a question. I want to be fair and balanced here. Horace, theres a sentiment here that certain black people arent authentically black. Ive seen it directed at my old boss, justice thomas, other African Americans that dont think a certain way about race or act a certain way. Is there something about being authentically black . Is she not authentically black . I saw that all over social media today. That is the nasty idea that race is who we are and not simply an attribute of who we are. The fact is, if there were some tweets that happen to say we like the fact that this wonderful woman has this background and we have read that, we might have said there were several tweets like that, horace. My point is, theres no condemnation of the kinds of comments that have no basis in reality and show a fixation on race. Were never going to get to the point where people are human beings as long as we revel in this fixation. Laura ill give you the last word. Acting like race doesnt exist is not going to make race go away. Its not going to make racism go away. We have to see color and sack september it. See color and talk about it. Acknowledging that shes a black mixedrace woman is not a bad thing. I dont why that threatens you or scares you. Its a good thing to be celebrated. Its progress in the royal family. For a lot of mixed race people in britain, its a good thing. Maybe you cant relate to that. I cant understand a racial fixation celebration is not fixation. No, its not. Saying shes a black mixed race woman in the royal family is not fixation and cant compare it to 1950 laura i dont think thats what she wants. I dont think so either. Laura shes a young woman getting married. Why are we why is so much a lot of this came out of america. And the British Press, too, laura. Laura a lot of these people are in the al sharpton, Jesse Jackson mindset. Al sharpton didnt say anything. Laura why are we placing our hangups on this happy couple . I imagine prince harry is in love with her, doesnt have to do with her skin color. He fell in love with her. Its a celebration, its not fixation. Laura all right. Great to have you on. Well have another conversation about this, im sure. Coming up, democrats are mostly staying quiet about john conyers Sexual Harassment scandal. What is that about . That debate ahead. Ancestrydna is the gift of the season. And its now just 59 but the real gift isnt whats inside the box. Its whats inside the person who opens it.

Laura welcome back to the ingraham angle. As the john conyers Sexual Harassment engulfed the Democratic Party, nancy pelosi is trying to put out the p. R. Disaster by gasoline. Was it one accusation . Is it two . There has to be. John conyers is an icon in our country. He will do the right thing. Is the right thing what . Resign . He will do the right thing in terms of what he knows about his situation. That hes entitled to due process. Women are entitled to due process as well. Laura i cant even diagram those sentences. I try every day. Sean laura pelosis comments are creating blowbacks. Democrats are fear a party with politics and protecting women. Lets face it. For the war on women talk, their message is always talk. As the president declared in a state of the Union Address when women succeed, american succeeds. Thats not just a phrase. Its a statement, a fact. House democrats agree. When women succeed, america succeeds. Thats our agenda. We know one thing for sure. When women succeed, america succeeds. When women succeed as my colleague said, the world succeeds. Laura thats nice. Now pelosi put out a statement late today trying to walk some of those other comments on meet the press back. The question is, do the democrats stand behind women or only when its politically convenient . Joining us, scott bolden of the Democratic Party and congressman steve russell, a republican from oklahoma. Even Gregory Meeks thought that john conyers should step down. Even nancy pelosi, i couldnt follow her on meet the press. She said and we cut this out of the sound bite, she said shes not really familiar with the cases. She gets really familiar really fast with allegations against republicans, this is john conyers who has been in congress for 52 years. Yet nancy says he needs due process, all due process. Nice to hear that men get due process. The republicans and the democrats on the hill believe it as well. I think when nancy pelosi in her inartful way is trying to say, he can be the icon, he can fight for women and have the sexual allegations. None of it is good, none of it is appropriate. I think that behind the scenes before the deal was cut, she was really she knew that he was going to step down. If she walked back, its because shes inartful about it. She supports resources to investigators and supports nondisclosures going away and supports the public funds shouldnt go to settle lawsuits. Thats the important things. Laura congressman, nancy pelosi never talked about this shush fund as we called it her, the settlement for the bad actors. Dont know who these people are still. Now its getting traction. We talked about it first on cable and now its everywhere. John conyers has been in there 52 years. This is like a lifetime appointment in congress. Thats a separate issue, obviously. Nancy pelosi is willing to give iconic status to him. If youre an icon, you can get away with this stuff and resign away your ranking position . It didnt matter much with justice thomas. Im glad to see that we have miss pelosi, that cares about due process now rather than just statements. Thats very important to establish. Look, where the American Public is outraged, theres allegedly 16 million of government taxpayer money that is going to hide laura did you know about this . Absolutely not. Laura its only 17 million. Even if that money were set aside, you cant use your mra office funds to pay off somebody for some allegations. This has laura my question is, why arent if hes admitted these settlements already, al franken admitted his conduct well, the photos laura yeah. And were concerned about women in general. Womens reproductive rights. Were for women. Violence against women. Here we have Sexual Harassment against women. Why arent both parties getting together and saying, guys, you admitted to this conduct. Thats it. I mean, thats it. Thats it. You admit it. Thats it. Both parties should this is the party of bipartisanship that should be obvious at this point, shouldnt it . Ill let you go on this. I certainly think laura its the context of iconic status. Laura, the fact that hes iconic status, he can be iconic and be a sexual abuser . Clarence thomas is the only second black Supreme Court justice. He never got he just not got into the African American laura hes got no context, he got another time, another place. Lets be transparent about it, right . All democrats, all republicans, sent it to the Ethics Committee or not. Lets start with donald trump. Why arent they investigating he denied his misconduct. He admitted it on the air. Went isnt he laura its not going to happen. The world of reality went are the democrats and republicans like joe we can take a typical play out of the communist playbook that says admit nothing democrats or republicans . Here we have senator franken with photographs before he was elected okay. Now were going to use a double standard with other people seeking election that are allegations. Wrong is wrong. Were in agreement there. But you cannot use taxpayer funds to hush people up. Laura weve established that. I think theres a raging double standard. There is. Laura a lot of Congress Women and congressmen that are pro women. I hear the old war against women. When theres individual women that have been in situations where they feel powerless and they feel like they cant act on theyre stuck, who they have no voice except through this ridiculous panel that was set up. Congressman, you didnt know about it. Im not blaming you. We didnt know about it. Its insane. Makes people wonder watching fox, what else doesnt Congress Know about . Its crazy. Its unsane. Needs to be investigated and we need to get to the bottom of it. Democrats and republicans have to have credibility and that starts with both of them being investigated, including donald trump. Laura you want trump investigated . I do. He has 19 sexual accusations against him and admitted it on the air. No what hes going to do but what hes done to women . Laura were out of time. The press likes to say the president s ratings are low but theyre not as low as the mainstream media. Well tell you about that when we come back. Guess what i just got . Uh i used to be spellbound hello again. I used to be spellbound hi. I used to be spellbound thats a big phone. In your arms. [screams] ah, my phone. You built the flame that warms my heart, but lying and cheating has torn us apart and im moving on. I want ycome on mom t easy. Go slow. Lets go mom slow down for the ones who keep pushing. Always unstoppable. Were on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, its time to wake up to keurig. Wakey wakey rise and shine oh my gosh how are you . Well watch this. I pop that in there.

Laura the press has no trouble attacking the first lady or the president. Theyre good at that. When he fights back, suddenly the First Amendment is in peril. Are trumps attacks on the press an attack on our democratic norms . Daily beast it or the and cnn political analyst, john adwan seems to think so. We shouldnt normalize the spectacle. Its a serious constant attack at our democratic norms. Going after the press, going after individual entities. Laura joining me now, fox news senior political analyst, brit hume. His first time on the ingraham angle. Hi, brit . How are you . You got me here past my bedtime. Laura great to see you. Is our First Amendment in peril because donald trump sent out the tweet about Cnn International and his comments about fake news . Well, certainly not because of that tweet. I would say broadly speaking that trumps criticisms of the media, which have been pretty consistent, pretty frequent, still havent added up to anything that would threaten our First Amendment freedoms. We in the media in this country enjoy a level of freedom and pro december that is rarely available almost in where else on earth. Were invulnerable to government officials and politicians. Theres not much they can do to us. The Supreme Court is there to safeguard our rights and has consistently done so to the point where for example if someone was to sue for liable, they have to prove that the offending party has committed either a reckless or a willful act of falsehood. Its hard to prove. In my own career, laura, ive been spied on by the cia, ive been sued for libel, criticized by name. Here i am after all these years. Thats because were protected in this country. Theres not much donald trump can do to the media. I was sued for libel when i was 19 at dartmouth, a professor sued me. Unsuccessful. I was thinking about obama, president obama and he had a seemingly chummy relationship with the Mainstream Press oftentimes. Then we had the james rosen controversy, sheryl atkinson. She said sure computer was hacked into. His comments about fox news. Other supporters comments about talk radio routinely belittling fox and conservative internet websites and so forth. I could make the argument that maybe in a sophisticated way or not so sophisticated way, the Obama Administration was much more hostile to an unfriendly critical press. I would agree with that, laura. What was done in the case of james rosen was grossly improper, shouldnt have happened. It was an abuse. In the end, james rosen is still working at fox news and doing better than ever. Cheryl atkinson is still out there certainly. We are just too well protected a position to be knocked off or thrown off of our work by government. Its not just that we have these protections, but we in the media have power. Were pretty safe. Laura they dont like to be a lot of people in the media, especially cnn, they dont want to be cite sized. The idea that anybody will call their wisdom into question or their prognostication abilities into question, they dont like that. They never liked it. They never wanted to be called out, not by other media outlets, Media Research center, whether its a website or its a talk radio. They dont like that. They want to be the invulnerable, invincible folks. Im talking about some of our friends on other networks. We dont always get it right. You know, youre not immune to criticism either. You can dish it but cant take it. I want to talk about President Trumps comment today about the code talkers ceremony and play this sound bite. Lets watch. You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have the representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago. They called her pocahontas. But you know what . I like you. Because you are special. Laura brad, im not sure why the president had to bring up Elizabeth Warren. Were not in a campaign, in 2020 yet. Maybe it was on his mind because of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issue. Well handle that later in the show. What about that moment . Going crazy. The left is going crazy. I agree with you. It wasnt gracious. Grace is not his strength. Hes constantly carping about people that are smaller than he is. Im not sure what that accomplishes. But i dont think its a threat and i dont think its racist. Your earlier segment brought this to light as well that term is flunk around with abandon today and its a tragedy. Because the great achievement of the civil rights movement, greater than the important laws that were passed were the consensus that it brought about that racism is wrong and not to be tolerated. In an overwhelming prohibitive majority of americans feel that way. For that term to be flung around with abandon is an abuse. Theres too much of it. I think that for Elizabeth Warren to call it a racist slur is unfair. Its wrong. Shes a big girl. What he said is harmless, if crude. Just move on. Laura all right, brit. I appreciate it. Its funny. Its not necessary. I have seen President Trump be incredibly gracious towards people. He can turn on the charm when he wants to. He had to hit the dig in to at least he didnt call her focahontas. It could have been more perhaps ungracious. I appreciate it. Thanks so much. Straight ahead, absolute chaos at a powerful federal agency. One you might not know a lot about that claims to be independent and nonpartisan and yet it seems to be the exact opposite. Claims to work for the american consumers, but did it ever really to that . A full report when we return. Is not always easy. Its a longdistance run. And you have the determination to keep going. Humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for nearly 10 years.

Clinically proven to relieve and prevent foot, knee or lower back pain, by reducing the shock and stress that travel up her body with every step she takes. So keep on climbing, sarah. Youre killing it. Dr. Scholls. Born to move. Laura dont you think its hard to find ways to attack First Lady Melania Trump . Shes poised, dignified, gracious. Attacking her shoes, well, they tried that. Didnt work. So the medias latest tact is to insinuate that the first lady is like eva gabor in green acres. The latest hit piece on flotus, a vanity fire writer said a source told her that mrs. Trump never wanted to be first lady because of the intense exposure as though she were some wilting wallflower. And ellison jumps the shark by leaping to this conclusion. She says there may never have been a first lady less prepared for or suited for the role. This isnt something she wanted and isnt something that he ever thought he would win, one longtime friend of the trumps told me. She didnt want it come hell or high water. She didnt think it would happen. Ellison claims that one told me that it is old news that she and her husband live essentially separate lives. So not only does vanity fire suggest the first lady is miserable, ill suited for the job, but also that her marriage is on the rocks. In a statement today, the first ladys office slammed the story as salacious and filled with false assertions. As far as not liking the role, melania looked perfect today greeting children at the white house. Listen to what one child said to her. You look like an angel. Thank you. You really look like an angel. Well, vanity fair probably wont cover that. She really looks like an angel. She looks like shes hating that job. I dont think so. Its a rank partisan agency masquerading as a protection of american consumers, this barely known agency operates in independence of your ebb che check elected officials. It started friday when an obama appointee announced his resignation and President Trump had other plans and named Mick Mulvaney to fill the post until a permanent replacement could be named. And mrs. English filed a lawsuit saying the lawsuit is hers. Theres two people claiming to be the rightful leader of this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Its unbelievable. What is the cfpb . It was created by the dodd frank bill and targets Financial Companies in what they believe is unfair and deceptive of practices. Heres what Elizabeth Warren said about the cfpb in 2013. What we know for sure is now this agency is here to stay. No more clouds over what it legally is entitled to do. No more attacks that say maybe well be able to undercut it in this way or weaken it in that way. We have a fullfledged watch dog. The one we fight dog. He will be there to fight for us. Laura i love it. I love watch dogs. The employees of the cfpb are not just bureaucrats, according to stats dug up by the washington examiner, since its founding, the employees have given money to democrats 593 times and only once to a republican. Joining us to reaction, sean duffy. He sits on the finance committee, right . And here in washington, robert wiseman, president of public citizens. Congressman, lets start with you. Its a watch dog that returns billions and billions of money to the consumers. So you know, why all the chaos over there and why do republicans think its just up to no good . First up, those of us on the Financial Services committee, weve been dealing with us for years. And Mick Mulvaney used to be on the committee with us. You have an agency that can draw 600 million from the Federal Reserve. You have an agency of thousands of little Elizabeth Warrens that are wreaking havoc on the Free Enterprise system. When you have an agency promoting a Progressive Agenda and not protecting consumers, thats where we have issue. Laura thats a big difference. 593 donations to democrats, one to a republican. I dont care what party youre from. How can you with a straight face say that is a nonpartisan independent agency . You have to look at what the agency has been doing. Its protecting consumers. Issued 12 billion in fines. Also 30 million americans have directly benefitted from ripoffs and cheating by big banks and other financial institutions. Its doing exactly what its supposed to do. The banks have tons of their own regulatory agencies. Goldman sachs running the Treasury Department and the sec. Goldman sachs is the comptrol r comptroller. Theyve been doing their job. Laura and ron ruben said that he was in meetings where he would hear the top people at the cfpb talking about appointees and new hires. One said he was a good liberal. Oh, i was just kidding. Theres a gate keeper there about the types of people youll hair and bring in. They might not have it written down but sure seems like a political litmus test that is unspoken for you to get through the door at the cfpb now. Its an agency doing its job. Only with democrats. Mostly democrats. Theyre doing their job. Mostly democrats. I have no idea. Laura democrats the only gate keepers . I have no idea. Laura youre protecting them, you should know. Mick mulvaney thinks the agency is a sick joke. Laura congressman, can you defund it in congress . Trump cant shut it down. He cant drain the swamp totally here. Laura, the next director can request not 600 million but 10 million. They can actually force democrats to the table to reform this agency. We have a bill that would have absolutely restructured the way the cfpb works. The largest banks were opposed to the bill and the small banks that serve where i live, they supported the cfpb. They have increased the cost of credit, whether you get a mortgage or an auto loan. They have caused Small Community banks to go out of business that hurts Rural America. Here they say we want to be isolated from the congress and the American People. Well, if youre doing the good work of the American People, laura, you shouldnt be isolated. The American People will applaud you. If you have a progressive liberal agenda, you have to be protected from the American People because they will shut you down. Thats why Elizabeth Warren has to separate them from congress. They knew it had a radical agenda. Laura robert, you think there should be any reform to this at all . Any reforms to the agency . I think what you should do, you and the viewers should look at the website of the cfpb. Laura well run to that im sure. If the website doesnt look like other governmental agencies. Its clear. Laura the Federal Reserve paid for this, right . The Federal Reserve theyre funding it. Absolutely. Theyre doing their job. They explain what theyre doing. Theyre incredibly transparent about whats going on. If people see the plain english laura and the Small Community banks dont have problems with this. The credit is not being squeezed no. Big banks are report profits and small banks are doing well. The cfpb doesnt have jurisdiction laura real quick, sean. Its a small banks biggest complaint is the cfpb. The rules and regulations are passed to them and big banks can deal with rules. Small banks cannot. Thats why they have to consolidate or go out of business. Thats why Rural America supports President Trump. Laura we made progress understanding a federal agency. A lot of people dont know it exists. Thanks to both of you. Speaking of free speech, concern is growing that china may be silencing Chinese Students at american universities pouring billions of dollars into education in this country. So is this a chinese trojan horse infiltrating american Higher Education . A stunning story and an uplifting nfl story at least it happened at a game. That too when we return.

Com. Ends monday. Laura all right. Now this is a story you havent heard much about. Im going to ask a question. You have to think about it. Is china hindering free speech on american soil . How can that be . Wayne dan, a former leader of the protests in china says the Chinese Communist party is extending its surveillance of critics abroad. Reaching into western academic communities and silencing visiting Chinese Students here through a campaign of fear and intimidation. Beijing is hindering free speech in the United States and in other western countries on College Campuses. We have enough problems with free speech. Now we have it from china. Joining us from analysis from florida, stephen moser, an expert and author of bully of asia and a graduate student at Catholic University and a spokesperson for chinese activists. Lets start with you, steve. Youve been covering china for years. None of this is surprising to you. I think a lot of americans, however, are shocked to know that red china yes, i call them that red china has a long arm into the u. S. Academic community. Tell us how theyre intimidating speech on campus. Well, laura, it has a long arm into the u. S. Academic community and the arm is getting longer. Im the poster child for the persecution by china of american academics and American Students that criticize the chinese regime for human rights. We talked before ant my reporting on forced abortions in china, which lead the Chinese Government to demand of stanford, not ask, that i be expelled from the university and stanford complied. That was a long time ago. China is larger and more powerful today than then. Laura more money. And more active in suppressing speech. Laura and more money. They have a lot more money. And what is happening on the College Campuses . College students, most of them come from the white collar class in china. Most of those people are employed by the chinese state. Stateowned enterprises. The students feel pressure when theyre here to selfcensor. They know their social media is monitored. That has a strong chilling effect. Laura i was looking at a chart. I think the wall street journal did it, of the number of Chinese Students in 2000 that come to the United States in 2000 versus today. I believe the number today was over 500,000 in the United States. That sound right to you . Yeah. Laura the chart goes like this. Thank you. There we go. Thats where we are today. A lot of Chinese Students here. More surveillance through social media, more pressure on the upper class, especially chi northea chinese to abide by the communist dictate. Does this happen at home and subsidies being removed and educational subsidies . How does it spill over . Its a very sophisticated strategy where they monitor social media and they know that they have they up the pressure where the students know that they might get a call from their parents saying someone from the government visited us or their parents were employed by a bank, which is owned by the government. If they really step out of line, the government would imprison their family laura how do we allow this . Stephen, back to you, this is shocking to most people because were a free country. We hear about russians collusion with trump and the attempt to influence our election. Im sure they probably did. But what about this . This is chinas attempt through chinese studies at university. Some of them are cool, i imagine. But boy, they have a lot of power and money operating right now in the United States for a purpose. They have a purpose. What is behind that purpose . Well, behind that purpose is the idea of controlling all of the contribution, all the debate about china. They set up hundreds of confusion institutes around the country. They go to universities and offer millions in return for room on campus. The institutes are on campus. Theyre named against confucius and not one of a mass murderer. But theres certain things that are not allowed to be talked about at the institute. You cant talk about taiwan, tibet and tiananmen. Laura they shut it down, they do the same thing in hollywood. Certain movies wont be made. Google, facebook, shutout. Well do more on this. Thanks for joining us. Finally tonight, a feelgood story amidst a storm of bad one. The old joke used to go for the no fun league. Thats been true this year. Players on their knees. You see the empty stadiums . Falling revenues.
