If you want to mandate that people wear masks, okay. Bring congress back, bring the state legislature back, and pass a law. And the law has to withstand laura you arent listenin listening, its a state laura state legislature we cant have these governors issuing edicts left and right forever. Dont think the masks wont last forever either. Laura i have no idea what the hell laura tomorrow im going to educate you on the current state of the science. Sean i say all the time, let me educate you liberals. Let me educate Humpty Dumpty and mr. Potato head. Laura okay, Humpty Dumpty. Great show as always. Im Laura Ingraham and this is frthe ingraham angle from washington tonight. Teachers unions are choosing liberal wish lists over educating your kids . Cant be. Well explain. Also, Donald Trumps niece just published a totally slanderous work impugning the president s psyche. A psychologist is here tonight to detail how mary trump is guilty of somegu pretty obvious projection. A potential scandal is brewing with the counting of positive tests in florida for covid. A full report, plus well hear from the respective doctor with the actual fact. But first, the war against kids. Thats the focus of tonights angle. Is there anything in the world happening beyond covid . You think not watching the nonstop fear and panic sold by the media and their democrat partners 24 7. America is a Worldwide Center for new cases in part of trumps failure. The point is there is no plan. Ed there is no federally led effort to bring this back. What, if anything, can be done to pull thehe country out f this Public Health disaster . Laura they rarely report that new infections have been translated into a rising covid death rate. In fact, the seven day average has fallen from a peak of 2,232 in midapril to 724 as of yesterday. That is right. Its a 68 decline. There has been a slight uptick in covid deaths this month but the death rate is nowhere where it was in april, for that good news in a difficult situation. They dont want you living in fear, what they want you to be is demoralized, dumbs down, and dependent on the government, meaning more ppe mailbox money than actual jobs and they hope that you are going to be so exhausted from riding lockdown and rolling roller coaster that youll trade freedom for a false sense of security and itll be gone for socialism. In case youve forgotten, freedom includes the rights to travel, to gather, to work, to worship, and to attend school. It is this issue of School Reopening where we see exactly what joe bidens puppeteers are capable of. We cannot do as President Trumpen is doing and play politics with and be willing to sacrifice the lives of our children and their teachers. Laura let me say this very clearly. They are lying to you when they say its too dangerous to reopen schools. A newew german study, the larget of its kind confirms what weve learned from iceland, france, and scandinavian countries. The results show that the dynamics of virus spreading have been overestimated, the universityrs who said they did e study, said that they suggested that schools did not become the coronavirus hot spot after reopening as had been feared. In case you think this is some small, ridiculous study, a total of 2045 blood samples from schoolchildren and teachers were taken from 13 secondary schools unin germany. Unlike the u. S. , europeanth countries smartly send their students back to school and there havent been any major outbreaks. So should kids wear a mask and social distance in schools . Different countries have tried different approaches. Its been different all across the globe. But School Districts across america are right now planning very expensive classroom modifications. You see a lot of the plexiglass dividers. Maybe they were, maybe not. And parents in turn are buying into this freak out and in Orange County where they are bucking the trend in california, some parents are actually upset about theet reopening. There are so many people who can get sick and i think its very dangerous and unacceptable to go back to school right now. Kids lives matter where is your mask okay, they dont know about the science and the media isnt reporting the science. Very interesting, dont you think . And dr. Fauci is an talking bout that science produced by german researchers we just talked about. Professor Reinhard Berner discovered the majority of schoolchildren did not go through an infection themselves despite an infection in the household. This finding must also be taken into account when it comes to deciding on measures to limit contact. If you listen closely to physicians, even far left outlets like msnbc occasionally stumble on the truth. But,t boy, are they embarrassed byou it . Would you let your parents go back to school . I would. My kids are looking forward to it. Do it, absolutely. Speak without hesitation . Without hesitation, yeah. I have no concerns about sending my child to school. Dr. John torres, nbc news. They all said yes. Laura thats my favorite moment of the day they ran out of teachers, or reporters, or expert, or doctors, or whatever. Bidens big ally, the teachers union, they pay no attention to the doctors or that extensive german study i talked about. They want their members to stay home and totally ignore what we know about kids exceedingly low infectivity rate. They ignore the horrific mental and physical Health Consequences from keeping kids away from school as well. We said this last night, im going to repeat it. Really important. These teachers, just like police and firefighters, they are essential employees. Their salaries are paid by you, the taxpayer. Yet many are refusing to return to work. This is not to say there are no risks of returning to schools. Therels are. There may be. The cdc issued its final full report for the 20192020 season. Tragically 166 children died of the flu nationwide. But schools didnt close, did they . Teachers did not refuse to work. By contrast, the number of children who died of covid is 30 according to provisional cdc data. Every life lost is a horrific tragedy, that goes without saying. In california where teachers are pushing to keep their kids at home, guess how many states of nearly 9 million schoolchildren succumb to covid . On the screen, zero. And under under the age of 18id has died of covid in california according to the stats that we have, the most uptodate one. Thankfully, overwhelmingly, children have been spared. Still, bidens most ardent supporters, the teachers unions are rationing of this year and even trying to extort concessions that have zero to do with education. Os the United Teachers Los Angeles union are demanding the abolishment of Charter Schools, and demanding that the funding of police. Thatll keep those kids safe and those educators. We will have more on that. Heres the bottom line. Schools are world children learn, grow, interact, its where they run around here t whe they play sports. Ysometimes they get hurt. For some its a respite from a turbulent home life. They desperately need this rhythm of school back, this normalcy to return. And economically our country cannot survive School Closures without let a close make ripple effects. Parents will suddenly be out of work, and job losses in the arena will be severe. Children cannot be ponds this campaign season. We have to safeguard their physical health but also their longterm development. Keeping them locked in the house attached to screens is going to lead to untold suffering. Untold for them, far worse for this virus. Thats the angle. Joining me now is georgianna kelman, l. A. Parent and special education attorney, also harmeet dhillon, civil rights attorney and foundertt for the center of Civil Liberties challenging many of these edicts across the country. You are in the middle of this but what your reaction to the l. A. Unified School Districts ondecision not to reopen this fl for in class learning . Its a huge, massive mistake. We are going to be payingg for t or a long time. You articulated everything ive wanted to say perfectly. Im being entirely honest, i cant find how many times teachers, consistently to tell me, hey, being surveyed for parents, the majority of l. A. Parents want to go back to school, Teachers Want to go back to school. Unfortunately this unionhi is a bully. Teachers are being highly encouraged to go along with the same lying and thinking that the union, based on their objectives of the union. Im here to tell you its not true. A majority of parents want to go back to school. Unfortunately they dont have a seat at the table. Kids dont have lobbyists, kids dont have union speaking on their behalf and speaking the truth. We arent having a conversation about truly the impact of covid versus closure. Special education children, we are going to go in communities due to this closure. I do believe there is a middle ground. Laura im going to go further, harmeet, the hybrid system is a little bit better but its incredibly confusing. And up and mack family life for working parents especially. Harmeet, Eric Garcetti the mayor of los angeles and it dovetails into this conversation is already threatening another lockdown. Watch. Do you anticipate the mandate and stay at home or in or to return . Order. Ot a stay at home if we go to read, thats what will come. Today, i only know today asked me later this week, but i want everybody to take seriously that we are on the verge of that for sure. Laura harmeet, is this the m. O. Now, every time china releases a virus accidentally, or people are worried about, whats next, Climate Change . We will shut down the state of the planet . Is this what will do forever with the democrats in charge . Absolutely, laura, i believe that is their m. O. That it be a good reason to terrorize people and shut them down. Eric garcetti is speaking the message of his owners and the owners of the democratic county del mccarty in california, the teachers union, the most powerful lobby. Their demands to open any school in fashion, especially in hybrid fashion you just mentioned, laura, it includes medicare for all, defunding the police, on and on. Rn laura, even before the crisis, california was even in a good state in regards to literacy. Fewer than 25 of ourtl fourthgraders can read properly. They settled a suit between literacy activism in the state this year because of the equal protection violation, a fact that students in poor School Districts of disadvantaged backgrounds, english as a second language, what have you, are not getting educated. Imagine what is going to be like when they dont have individualized attention, when their individual education plans are not being honored by the state. This is going to cause massive physical harm to students schools, many resort for families with students who may be suffering the different things. Laura i think its the issue affecting all families with children. Ladies, thank you so much. As mentioned earlier earlier, the l. A. Teachers union and harmeet said they are making these crisis demands. Its like an ongoing watching in realtime attempts at extortion, we want to educate your kids in person unless u you give us certain liberal pet projects like defunding the police. Now a moratorium on new Charter Schools . Cant have competition. And taxpayer handouts for illegals to welcome people in the country and we educate the children we have to runaway unions exploiting this tragedy, like everybody else knocking down statues, they want to knock down education to get more concessions. Joining me now is rebecca friedrich, former california schoolteacher and the union rep, also the lead plaintiff in that landmark 2016 Supreme Court case against the nda and company teachers association. Rebecca, i didnt think much of the teachers unions before covid and now im frankly disgusted because its obvious they are putting students last and teachers unions political demands first. Your take . I am so thrilled that you feel this way and you are highlighting this for your viewers. I have been shouting about this for decades. The unions are using the closure of our schools as a smoke screen. Laura, here is why. Sadly these unions are actually using our schools to sexualize our children and to train them in antiamerican ideology pure they do this with a coalition of 120 organizations including sadly the cdc, planned parenthood, and black lives matter incorporated. Shocking what they are teaching children onlinern through virtul learning. They are teaching our children to sext, view pornography, hooking them up with online i have an editorial in the washington times. People can read and learn all the details. One of the big reasons that they want to keep our schools close so they can sneak these evil lessons past 11 teachers who have no idea, by keeping them virtual. Laura i remember a friend of mine living north of l. A. In the Santa Barbara areaea telling me about kindergartens, living whatever is human life curriculum. Its repeated throughout. Its way advanced for a kindergartner and most parents dont even, i dont think know about it to opt out. They have to opt out or its automatically happening to her thats the kind of stuff that goes on. Your point is an important one, the unions would rather have teachers at home using these online tools because it is a lot more complicated when youre in class trying to teach this stuff, so you think theres actually a political motive to be at home, not just they are misstating the science or dont know the science. Absolutely. What you also have to know is that the teachers union, the national educationon association rewrote the Scientific Method so that this is why we are getting fake science, fake history, fake everything through our schools because it is their goal to destroy our public schools. Look, i think we have this perfect opportunity right now where we can learn how to save american schools and save america if we do four things. Laura we got to go, rebecca. S are those in your oped, tomorrow . No, they areks not. Laura will have you back. This is the tyranny of the clock in cable news. Weve got a lot of information out. Thank you so much. There is a potential scandal brewing in florida about how hospitals are attracting covid cases but we are going to tell you about it in moments. Later we speak to a psychiatrist who says mary trumps new personal attempt at a takedown of President Trump reveals more about her than the president. Shell explain. 49. 50 i found you good job.

Laura the number of covid cases in florida undoubtedly on the rise but there is a potentially massive scandal brewing regarding the way hospitals, labs, and others reporting the percentage of positive test results. Fox affiliate wofl has been looking into the story. Joinsoi us now live from orlando for the latest breaking details. Robert . Laura, it takes a lot to surprise a journalist but i was shocked when they heard this news today. Lots of confusions in many levels reference to floridas coronavirus numbers. We got tipped off that the numbers didnt quite look like on the states daily case reports. Looking into the breakdown of test labs, i quickly noticed astronomical positivity rates. Mind you, floridas covid19, positivity rates under 11 , but dozens of labs reported having 100 positivity. Some only reporting positive cases. The negative column completely blank. I asked myself how could 100 of people testing at those sites test positive. I reached out to several major hospitals in our area. Orlando health and the orlando va confirming errors in their numbers on the report. So after several requests for comment, today the Florida Department of health issued the statement to me in the days some smaller private labs werent reporting negative result data. The department b immediately started working with those labs to ensure that all results were being reported in order provide comprehensive and transparent to data. These labs are required by the state to report all testhe reports. Something else that adds to the confusion of spokespersons, they believe there is a problem in the states data gathering system because itm is there understanding the negative results from their hospital were in fact submitted. Laura, more answers to be questioned, many floridians alreadyy questioning the numbers being reported by the state. Laura au thanks for the great job. We appreciate it. Joining us now is dr. Charles lockwood, dean of the university of south floridas college of medicine. Wo dr. Lock emma before we get into the details of floridas numbers, your reaction to what was reported. Labs with 100 positivity rates . And others who arent reporting anyrt negatives . How damaging is that to the larger picture . You know, i am not totally surprised. On saturday, the state did 143,000 checks when Governor Desantis said that we were going to triple testing back in march to 30,000 tests per day. On saturday we did 143,000 tests inin one day. Thats a long task, youll have screw ups when you have that volume of testing going on. But thats pretty disturbing. Laura well it doesnt inspire a lot oft content. I want to play some of the Media Coverage of the sun sunshine statescovid outbreak. We had these surging rates in florida. Speak with the direll situationn the state of florida. In miamidade, things are especially dire. A total circle of chaos taking place in the state of florida. Of course there are rising state numbers. A lot of folks think florida is the next new york . Tell us why thatwh is absurd, frankly. We are not. Its pretty clear. Just for one thing, our case fatality rate, thats the number of deaths over the number of cases is 1. 5 . New york city right now is 10 . Thats a huge difference there. Weve had a huge increase in cases. Weve h
