Knuckles . Sean i do. Laura your hands are pretty sean 200 a day. 200 situps a day and we train an hour and a half a day. Sean i have punched you in the stomach sean it doesnt move. Laura it was pretty impressive. But you know what i said, it would actually be good for conservatives and liberals to actually talk to each other now wow more. Bill clinton actually got a lot done when he worked with republicans. Sean new gingrich, balanced the budget. Sean we would be a lot better off. Sean how about you and i, i will do an hour with her, you do an hour with her. Laura or someone else, doesnt have to be just one person. Sean she has courage because pelosi called her out. And she is like, im doing what i want to do. I like that part. The ideas are a little nutty. Laura i have a little to say about that in my the angle but you had a fantastic show tonight. You take care. I am laura ingraham, this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. What does it really mean to be an american citizen . My angle, and victor davis hanson. Plus, you cant read a story about Jeffrey Epstein without seeing his name pop up here tonight, Alan Dershowitz will offer his exclusive response. Also, the fight between, as hannity just mentioned, aoc and nancy pelosi intensified today after the speaker was charged with racism. Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy is here with his view from the other side of the aisle and finally, merely suggesting our bloated about her roles are rife for fraud will get you labeled a conspiracy theorist. But tonight we talk exclusively to the man who blew the lid on this outrageous story. Dont miss it. But first, american identity under assault. That is the focus of tonights angle. The historical purge that we are witnessing all over the country is part of a larger agenda. To destroy what it means to be american. And its getting more audacious by the day. In st. Louis park, minnesota, the geniuses on the city council there recently decided to ban the pledge of allegiance from town meetings. Their reason . To create a more welcoming environment to a diverse community. Oh, welcoming to everybody but americans who actually love the pledge. Residents were rightly outraged by this insanity. A local patriots it out and they stood up to the city council. To the republic for which it stands, one nation under gods usa usa laura then in San Francisco, taxpayers are going to shell out 600,000 to paint over a George Washington mural that offended a few snowflakes over there. Let me get this straight, people being in the fountain stepping on dirty needles, that is not offensive . But the first founding father is . Perfect. Why would everyone after hearing these kinds of stories, still refuse to respect National Anthem today . Or when midfielder allie long drags the American Flag on the ground while representing the u. S. On the world stage . And while mugging for the cameras, then drops the flag like its a piece of trash. Thankfully, another midfielder kelly ohara picked it up. And of course, discovered early on that permanent mvp status when you kick a donald trump. Like when she used foul language mixing any traditional white house visit to the champions. This is before they even won the world cup. The easiest task to social media start today is one where you take cheap swipes and america symbols and traditions. And he must understand that the left truly believes america itself is illegitimate to its core. One of my talking about . Well, its founding was fraudulent. They believe its founding documents, meaningless. All because of slavery. And the people who are involved in it. Our progress on racial issues is conveniently ignored by cynical actors who are frankly using these past orders for a power grab and, they hope, a total reorganization of our society here and a massive wealth confiscation. The phrase white privilege, it is now the preferred weapon of choice, and is used by socialist knownothings to tar their political opponents and avoid real debate. Only guess what . Now even old white democrats are in the privilege cross hairs. Joe biden fumbles all the time. Joe biden suffers from old white male entitlement where he just cant simply say i was wrong. Laura liberal women arent immune either. This week, Speaker Pelosi learned that the race tables can quickly be turned on her, too. She is now under fire by the four horse women of the apocalypse. Freshman congresswoman, who claim pelosis singling out the newly elected of color. When asked today about the charge, this is how alexandria ocasiocortez responded. Knowing the media environment that we are operating in, knowing the amount of Death Threats we get, knowing the amount of concentration and attention, i think its just worth asking why . Do you think it is racial animus . Now, no. Absolutely not. Laura that is a neat trick, isnt it . Aoc blast anyone anytime of the day or night on social media but when the leader of her own party called her out, she cries foul. No, no, nancy is not a racist. Well, but, President Trump is routinely subjected to this kind of attack. His plan to put citizenship, the question on the fences was derided as racist by democrats. And today, he shot back. Now they are trying to erase the very existence of a very important word and a very important thing, citizenship. We must have a reliable count of how many citizens, noncitizens and illegal aliens are in our country. Laura bingo. How is this controversial . Asking about citizenship . Its like a question that has nothing to do with race at all. Its about who is american and who is not. By the way, africanamericans have been the most directly impacted by the mast dominic mass flow of Illegal Immigrants in the United States no wonder polls now show a majority of black and hispanic voters support adding the question to the senses. Erasing our history, our sense of who we are is making it easier to turn america into just kind of another member of a globalist superstate. Europeans sacrificed their identity years ago on the altar of globalism when they formed the european union. Look at what it got them. [all singing] laura we may have mass morons of antifa to deal with but we dont have yellow vest shutting down entire cities or a brexit style mess to deal with. Or a recession on the horizon like we see with germany. There is a price for surrendering your sovereignty and your identity and we are going to pay it if we dont defend our history and our traditions. And thats the angle. Joining me now, victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institution. Victor, why cant the left see the value of symbols and traditions that dont blur the differences that we have the mistakes we made, but have the effect of binding us together at a time when it so much else ripped us apart . I think they feel that if they were to do that they would not win elections. And that they have to change the past and the present so they can have power in the future. Its a war of demography, a war over making residence equal to citizens. At their view, the argument they are advancing, we were so sinned, americans come at origins, we cant be modified, adapted, or improved. We have to be dismantled and reconstituted according to their agenda. Therefore, they are going to a lot of power and influence in the future. When you mention all of these incidents, the San Francisco murals or the nike shoe controversy, or the soccer team. This is the trench warfare with the soldiers at the front who are fighting for these elites we see in the democratic primary who are advocating health care for all across borders, who are escorting people illegally into the United States, attacking the past, demanding reparations. Remember the New York Times a video oped where they say we are just okay, not really exceptional. Or what senator omar detailed in a recent interview where she said she was very disappointed after leaving a refugee camp to see that things werent too good here in the land of her host. This is the raw side of what the elites are talking about but it is the same agenda. To create a new future by reconstituting or redefining the past and the present. Laura dont you agree if america herself is illegitimate, of course of the founding documents and the principles undercutting those documents have to be swept away and rewritten because they are written by old racist white guys. They have to be rewritten, reconstituted, reformed and refounded as something very different. That seems to be where this is going because there is no concern for actual historical reference, context. Its either evil or good and everything in the past is evil and everything now and present is good. Until that becomes evil. We are not a physical society where we work all day in the field so we have the luxury of affluence and security and leisure to think that the world works the way your smartphone does and if we are not perfect and not good, and that the sins of humanity, which exist today, sexism, racism in every country to a much greater degree than they do in the United States, those are uniquely our sins because we should be perfect, just like our technology. If we are not perfect right now then somebody has to be blamed, labeled, called out as a racist or a sexist or a class oppressor and of course, unspoken is the reality, the subtext is a nobody wants to go to russia. Nobody wants to go to china. Nobody wants to go to any country in asia or latin america or africa. And that is not where the great universities are, that is not the military that protects the world. That is not the largest oil and food producer. But they have the leisure to say that because we are so successful. But if we were to listen to them, if we were to dismantle all these institutions then we wouldnt be where we are and the world would be forever lost. Laura i want to tell you, real quick, there was a native american elder who spoke out against that George Washington mural, the move to cover that up. It really interesting from him. Lets watch. Those of you who are offended by these miracles, as an elder i need to educate you on somethin something. We need these as visual records of what has happened to our people in the past. To remove these murals would be a travesty. We would not just be removing history, but you will be removing a visual truth. Laura from oklahoma, i found there to be more wisdom in him than any of these elites who are supposedly suddenly offended by murals that were painted and envisioned by a new deal democrat, by the way. I do, too. I probably dont agree with him but he is probably telling us that history is not melodrama. It is a tragedy when two peoples collide. It is not a melodrama, some hollywood script that we reduce it to. Laura victor, finally, joe biden responded to trump and the America First agenda. I want to place quickly. He is responding to what we were talking about really tonight. Donald trump subbrand of America First has too often lead to america alone. Trust of the institutions around the world is down and fear of the other is way up. These forces have driven dangerous resurgence is of extreme nationalism and protectionism and xenophobia. Laura the bushes kind of said that and didnt hillary say a lot of that . It didnt work. Yah, what donald trump inherited was a mess with iran,d joe biden doesnt have the moral authority to talk to anybody about racists. He said he was the first clean, articulate black figure to run for office. He made fun of Indian Americans and doughnut shops in delaware. He is a long history of gaffes that have a racist change to and he has no current ability on that topic. He should be quiet for his own good. Laura victor, thank you so much. As we mentioned in the angle, President Trump announced that he immediately issued an executive order to get an accurate count of noncitizens and citizens in the United States but not on the 2020 census. Speak of the Supreme Court ultimately affirmed our right to ask the citizenship question. The Supreme Court also ruled we must provide further explanation that would have produced even more litigation and considerable time delays. These delays would have prevented us from completing the census on time. Laura joining me now, former Deputy Assistant general, johnny yoo. John, his critics said he backed down. But still can he get the same information through these databases . Or was this kind of a way to kind of blur up the fact that they didnt really get what they wanted in the end. Or do what they wanted. Im afraid you are right. It looks to me like this is a retreat from the position the administration was taking a few days ago. The Supreme Court said it is legitimate for the government to try to ask a question on the census. Are you a citizen or not . It is legitimate for the government to figure out how many citizens and how many aliens there are in the country. It has a lot to do with law enforcement, immigration law, social services, federal spending. It is a completely legitimate question. But i think President Trump really did have it right. The Supreme Court, the chief justice and four liberals put the president in a tough spot by delaying the issue for so long it made almost impossible to have the census of physically printed to get the question in there. Laura Kamala Harris book out about the census issue today, lets watch. What this president is contributing to is a faulty sense is that we will have to live with for the next ten years. It is highly irresponsible because it is yet another example of this president trying to interfere and weaken our democracy. Laura that was it tonight. Trying to interfere with our democracy. A lot of people think she is going to be the democrat nominee. A lot of people think that now. The obamas are backing her and shes going to go all the way and be the nominee. Okay . What the heck is she talking about there . Im not sure. I dont see how it interferes with democracy to know how many citizens are in the country and how many aliens. The left has a claim that merely trying to find out how many citizens are in the country somehow depresses the number of people who respond to surveys and so on. Well, then they can complain about what donald trump is doing because he is not asking about citizenship. He is going to try to get those numbers from existing databases, from information the government already has. Its not clear whether that will yield of the most accurate count like you couldve had with the census but it is hard to claim that this is going to depress the number of aliens who report themselves in the country. Laura [laughs] its ridiculous. Almost out of time but real quick, they are apparently going to do some interior enforcement of people who have exhausted their due process rights, their appeal, who are illegal aliens in the country, they need to go home. Thats our law on the books. Why is it the federal government is announcing these rates . And you understand that . They announce it in the New York Times has a big weepy headline about it and everybody freaks out in the networks are giving advice to people, and basically evade i. C. E. Why would they announce it that way . I dont know, laura. I think it is a big mistake. I agree, it would be far better if the government just every day saved up all their resources for these high profile, and as you say, everyone knows they are coming so they are not going to be that effective. Laura we are not going to announce what we are going to do, we are just going to do it. So im not sure why we are not taking that approach may it always good to see you end up next, Jeffrey Epstein now suing allender switch for defamation, saying he was a part of an illicit sex trafficking ring. He is up next to respond. All Money Managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. Fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. Some only call when they have something to sell. Fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. And while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. Fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. Maybe thats why most of our clients come from other Money Managers. Fisher investments. Clearly better money management. Laura new tonight, Jeffrey Epsteins attorneys asked the judge to allow the alleged to stay in his 70s have a milliondollar new york mansion while awaiting trial. Now one of epstein alleged victims has filed a defamation suit against Alan Dershowitz, alleging that he was also part of an illicit sex trafficking ring. In moments, Alan Dershowitz will be here exclusively to respond. But first we go live to Jonathan Hunt in our west coast news or with the back story. Good evening, laura. Alan dershowitz was the first named in a legal document connected with Jeffrey Epstein in a lawsuit challenging epsteins infamous plea agreement more than a decade ago. A woman by the name of virginia accused several prominent figures of having taken part in alleged sex abuse. Alan dershowitz and Prince Andrew were among those named. Apparently dominic she says that dershowitz allegedly had with her in the virgin islands. In march of this year, Alan Dershowitz took to twitter to tweet a direct accusation against me and followed up with, my false accusers want to accuse me on twitter but i will accused them. I hereby accuse my false accusers of committing a felony of perjury and challenge them to sue me for defamation. They want because they know the truth will land them in prison. Virginia then sued Alan Dershowitz for defamation. She ac
