it his son alex a great kid, that his dad passed away. what people might not know, he and i got along great. he had a key to my house. he was full of joy, happiness, light and sunshine. he loved god and jesus. my heart is troubled. >> laura: that is sad news. i had not heard. that i liked him so much too. he was one of those -- am in shock just learning this. he was an old-time liberal who you could fight with. but we always had a laugh afterwards. >> sean: loved him. my kids would call him uncle bob. he would be up at 7 a.m. smoking

cigars and i had to explain to it my kids why he was smoking cigars. i loved him. we miss him. >> laura: you were an incredible friend to him, sean. thanks for bringing us that sad news. prayers to his family tonight. i am laura ingraham this is "the ingraham angle" from washington. vladimir putin has ordered russian troops into regions of ukraine that it he claims are independent. we will monitor events there and bring you an update shortly. a lot happening on the ground. to more serious issues closer to home, canada continues its dissent into tyranny. authorities assaulting a journalist. also we learned that our own cdc has been hiding key data -- how surprising -- on covid-19 from

the public. the reasons why are shameful. my medicine cabinet is here. facial underwear. raymond arroyo is here for a disgusting edition of "seen and unseen." first, birdies of a feather that's the focus of tonight's "angle." two men 29 years apart in age. one turned 50. he is the political pinup boy of the socialist set and the other is 79 and closer to a grandfather in a memory care unit. the similarities between these 2 leaders are striking. first they both abuse their covid powers. biden's vaccine mandates which were blocked by our courthouse caused chaos across our economy and throughout the military even. his mandates made the shortage of healthcare workers in the

united states worse. our children have been harmed by biden and his party's slavish devotion to the anti-science demands of teachers unions. if biden could be as draconian as canada he would have if it wasn't for the republican states that rejected covid mandates. trudeau found out even canadians have their limits when he imposed vaccine requirements for truckers returning to the u.s. in both countries regular working class people have been pushed too far by the elite who enjoy bossing them around. the growing support for parents rights and the trucker's rights up north brought out the worst

in both leaders. accord to the biden doj a woman who speaks out against mask rules for outdoor sports. she like the new al-qaeda. she is seen as a bigger threat than the criminals out on the streets. according to trudeau the large numbers of immigrants who supported the canadian truckers were nazi and white supremacists. it's all discussing and it's all lies. the sheiks took the high road. >> i love my freedom and liberty. i hate the government telling me what to do. that's all i am here for. we are all together. we are all canadians and all

truckers. >> laura: we are all together and all canadians. the most chilling aspect of trudeau's response was the crackdown on bank accounts withe no court orders whatsoever. the police said clearing the streets was just the begining. >> if you were involved in this protest, we will look to identify you and follow-up with financial sanctions and criminal charges. this investigation will go on for months to come. if will be a complicated and time consuming investigation that will go on for a period of time. >> laura: a period of time. complex and huge. where have i heard that before? >> in the aftermath of the attack the justice department worked on the largest and most complex and most resource intensive investigation in our

history. >> laura: no end in sight. 100 plus u.s. attorneys working on january 6th trying to paint it as a conspiracy run by domestic terrorists. the vast majority of defendants have no or limited criminal history. many are employed and have stable ties and many are military vets according to the records. the more unpopular joe biden and his policies become the more he and the democrats return to january 6th. they are reinstalling the fencing around the capitol. costing taxpayer millions and gives our capitol a prison like feel. nancy pelosi doesn't care. it's the symbolim of that prison

they like. -- symbolism. biden and trudeau refused to relinquish their emergency powers. they are like baby baboons holding on to their mother. biden extended the emergency derclaration issued in march of 2020 by president trump. keeping it going now is a scam and a power grab and a red flag -- in a month or so he will find some other bogus rationale to extend it through the mid term. breaking moments ago canada's palament will extend justin trudeau emergency power.

>> this state of emergency is not over -- people being out there indicating they are ready to blockade to disrupt canadians lives, we feel this measure needs to remain in place. >> laura: successful governments with free and prosperrous people, they don't need to use extraordinary measures, threats or false accusations against people. criminal statutes exist for those who broke the law on january 6th and the actual laws among the truckers. using a wide ranging investigation as a political tool is despicable. it's what china does. but justin trudeau always had a thing for the ccp. >> there is a level of

admiration i have for china. their dictatorship allowed them to turn their economy around on a dime. >> laura: well, biden is like trudeau. they have an affinity for china but they can't say it. sometimes politicians reveal themselves like biden does in 2013 attempting a joke that fell flat. biden was the vice-president at the time and xi was elevated by the ccp to become president of china. >> i had the great pleasure and honor of spending time with president xi. we spent 10 days together. i congratulated him on his elevation i asked if he could

possible help me. he made no commitment whatsoever. all kidding aside. >> laura: you have seen that one before? now the joke is on us and the canadians since we are stuck with these 2 strong men. if time they will be sent packing by a public that just wants competence and freedom and clarity. that's the "angle." trudeau's affinity for the chinese, some of the tactics used in ottawa must have had xi smiling. this is what happened to my next guest. a reporter. >> shouting. -- [shouting]. >> [screaming]. >> [crying].

>> laura: joining is the journalist you just saw. thank you very much. what did we just see in that video? >> first of all thanks for receiving me on your show. what we saw i will here since the beginning of the freedom convoy, since the 23th of january. i report on the ground every day. i wanted to be on the front line to see the interaction between the police and the protestors. it's always there. as well i wanted to see [inaudible]. i had my microphone on my neck.

when the first shot of the gas gun was shot. i screamed because i was in shock. okay, should go just happened. i started to be a little bit difficult to it breathe. afterward the police officer went towards the protestor and hit me 3 times with a wood stick. afterwards, i saw -- everything goes so fast. someone shot me in the left leg with the teargas gun. it was point blank. it was next to my leg. i fell on the ground. not only my leg was hurting but the gas went all over me. in my eyes and my mouth.

>> laura: we reached out to the ottawa police for a statement and pointed us to an exchange with rebel news. watch. >> can you explain how it was that my colleague to my right here, alexa, was shot point blank with a teargas canister doing painful damage to her. what was the reason for? >> i am unfamiliar with the incidents you are speaking of. >> laura: he said we have to clear the area. he said there was follow-up on their these individuals and will continue an unlimited amount of time. they are going after everybody out there who did not clear out. >> right now, it is cleared out,

but we are still in the red zone. we have check points everywhere in the city. stopping every people in the streets. telling them show me your citizenship from ottawa or you prove that you work here or you will be arrested. right now with my press card. they said i made up my card so i am not allowed to work freely there. all of the shops is closed. they moved the convoy to restart the economy and the stops but right now it's worse than when the convoy was there sknlaur wow! -->> laura: wow! what is this about? this became an anti-trudeau

movement. not just a vaccine movement. but a broad based movement. is he just using this to crush dissent in the country? >> following his narrative, he don't want to understand the point of view from other canadians who suffered from the lockdown and from the mandates. it people is suffering right now, so why he doesn't take a minute to try to communicate with the people who have another narrative and find a way to reach the middle to make everybody happy. >> laura: a little compromise or understanding. maybe have a meeting with the organizers. that probably would have difussed a lot.

i am glad you are okay. you took some shots. thanks for joining us. joining me now is a publisher and a fox news contributor. that was your journalist injured by the police. this is personal to you. is there it a warning that americans should take from what trudeau doing up north? >> absolutely. there is a template here. the violence is outrageous and the show your papers is outrageous. i can't believe they shot our reporter. what is a graver and far reaching threat is the socialist style approach against anyone

with a different opinions. justin trudeau is persisting with emergency powers to freeze bank accounts of anyone in his opposition without going to court. the police literally tell the banks which accounts to freeze and you are banned from suing. if someone is merely accused of supporter the truckers, maybe chipped this $50 or walked along side their trucks one day, your entire family bank accounts is frozen. your wife and kids can't get money for groceries or rent or gas. there is no legal appeal. that's exactly the chinese social credit system. that could come to america just as easy as the rest of the martial law. >> laura: mollie, i went through this in the "angle."

given the back that biden and trudeau separated by only 6 days extended their emergency authority when covid is petering out, what does this tell you? >> it's what we have seen for the last 2 years. we had an amazing, constraining of freedoms in this country and other western countries. what is happening in canada is horrifying on its own merits and also because we know this is what the regime wants to do as well. there are multiple problems. the seizing of bank accounts is done in violation of presumption of innocence. that's something that canada and our country share. if you don't have the right to make financial transactions you don't have any rights. you don't have freedom of speech or religion or freedom to

protest. this is an assault on democratic republicans from the people who claim they are out to save democracy this is where the attacks are coming. cracking down on natural rights we all have. >> laura: they love that fence. they don't like it at the border. but they like to wall off the u.s. capitol because they never much liked the people who went in to visit the capitol. it's going up again. i don't know if the razor wires going occupy. this is a prison camp feel around our elected officials --know. >> they are doing the same thing in ottawa. there is a plaza where peaceful protests happen.

there are 100 checkpoints in ottawa where you have to show your i.d. or you will be adulted. -- assaulted. they demand to know what media company they are with. they don't like that company, they deny them access. i have been to military checkpoints in the third world country. it has that same dangerous feeling. you are at the whim of any guy with a gun. that's in downtown ottawa today. >> laura: this is why washington, d.c. is a ghost town. thank you. the media caught on to what we sounded the alarm for 2 years. that the cdc is dishonest about covid. what they are not telling us next. (vo) jamaica. (woman) best decision ever.

(vo) feel the sand between your toes, and the gentle waves of the sea on your skin. feel the warm jamaican breeze lift your spirits and nourish your soul. escape to exactly what makes your heart beat. you will love every moment. jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go.

>> i know mean of you watch our data closing and when something it prompts changes. >> laura: the "new york times"

reported that the cdc with held critical data on boosters and hospitalizations and waste water analysis. the most egregious is about vaccines and booster effectiveness in young are adults. what is infuriating is their excuse for these sec resy. they said they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective -- joining me dr. scott jensen and another doctor a board certified doctor. we have known this entire time that the cdc has been hiding the ball. whether we were talking masks or now on this issue of the

boosters. you were one of the first people to point out the false hoods about covid mortality numbers. why would anyone trust the cdc? >> you are right, laura. the bottom line is americans need to wake up. they have been fed a limited amount of information. this is as much an intrusion of their rights as if they were incarcerated. >> laura: doctor, this is something for 2 years it's upended the lives of so many americans. tragically so many americans have lost their lives. no one is discounting the tragedy of that. but, to justify whether it's time if in isolation or quarantine or social distancing or fourth boosters, do we not

need real data? >> laura, we need absolutely transparency. this branch of the federal government is not up to be politicized. we can't politicize public health. they should be off limits to anything influenced by outside factors. this needs to be the one federal agency that is totally guided by science and facts and nothing else. two years ago into the pandemic we have reams of medical data from billions of people worldwide. the entire world population. in history there has never been more medical information than this. for the cdc to tell us that certain data they have are not ready for prime-time is as outlandish as the l.a. mayor who was holding his breath for the

photograph at the football game. it's unbelievable. they owe it to us to be transparent now. >> laura: more from the "new york times" article: experts had to rely on numbers from israel to make recommendations on shots. israel went through its own transformation on the way they are dealing with covid. will anyone be held for accountable for the lack of transparency and out right lies? >> i think they are. i think the cdc is running for cover. it's embarrassing that in america we have to look to israel for high quality data. i saw in the "new york times" article even dr. paul who is a pro-public health kind of person, he is embarrassed by

what the cdc has done. this is why you are seeing americans rise up across the nation whether they are running for school board or city council. i had not planned on running for governor. i am doing this because i am fed up. americans deserve to know when 18 to 49 years old are not benefiting have vaccines. why aren't we drawing antibodies test on these people? >> laura: we have been talking about this t-detect test for i don't know a year and a half. it tests your t-cells immunity to covid and antibodies wane, but t-cells are the last line of killer cells. that's testable. it's emergency use but so is the

vaccine. well, now natural immunity might be relevant. a talk show helped figure this out with smart people like you guys. >> that's true. they are sticking to their origin narrative from march of 2020 and we are 2 years into this. there are so many element within the administration that are so resistant to changing. they feel like they are admitting like they don't know what they are doing. it's fine to say medical science is changing. we have new data. let's shift how we do thing. they have been harmful. they need to be transparent and listen to science and the people. >> laura: we have to follow the money. who gets grants? that's a conversation for another day. now to a fox news alert. after recognizing the independence of 2 separatists regions in eastern ukraine

russian president vladimir putin ordered troops in those region. lucas has late breaking details. >> vladimir putin ordered forces, peacekeepers into eastern ukraine. ukraine's president addressed his nation at 2 a.m. local time. >> we are on our land. we are not afraid of anything or anyone. we don't owe anything to anyone. we won't giveaway anything to anyone. we are confident in this. it isn't february 2014 but february 2022. >> february 2014 a reference to the russian invasion of crimea. 58 countries abstained from condemning russia and russia retained veto authority. here the remaining american diplomats have fled the country

making u.s. withdrawal from ukraine complete. ukrainians are nervous and afraid of a full-scale russian invasion. after recognizing two separatists regions, u.s. officials say annexation like what russia did with crimea could be necks. -- next. this crisis is over 30 years in the making. vladimir putin never accepted that ukraine and russia are two different nations. ukrainians disagree. ever since nato expanded in 1999, putin felt threatened. putin thought moscow could be next. this year marks the 100th

anniversary of the founding of russia. >> laura: why is bill gates talking about not wearing pants in public. to it prove an anti-science point. raymond arroyo in "seen and unseen" next.

>> ♪ ♪ >> laura: it's time for our "seen and unseen" segment with raymond arroyo. there are a lot of strange mask stories out there. >> you heard of masks referred to as facial underwear. a designer unveiled a collection that takes that literally.

they previewed a line of jockstrap masks. they match the model's outfit including a lace thong mask. a man was evicted from a plane in december for wearing a lace thong as a mask. when i saw this i thought i would like to drawers out your thoughts. >> laura: oh! raymond, first of all -- [laughing]. is that the new -- is that what guys will get their gals for valentine's day going forward? >> my problem is they are trying to enshrine these masks and make them part of populator. pop culture. underwear holds asses so it's

appropriate. the new york city department of education is investigating a so-called holiday pageant. what we called a christmas pageant featuring middle school kids belting out lyrics to the tune of the '80's hit the safety dance including in your friends don't vax they ain't no friends of mine. the kids always demonized those objecting to vaccines base religion and advertised for pfizer and moderna. >> laura: i thought the inclusion, the thing we are doing now is to include everyone. it's to ostracize certain people and vilify the religious minded

in schools. this is new york city. everybody who came in had to show a vaccine card to get into this little pageant -- think the teacher should be fired and the parents should sue the school district. talking about the meaning of christmas they recited a poem to the pagan devil they sacrifice to children. it's anti-religion and horrible. and in munich bill gates had his own covid pageant. he pushed is the flimsiest protection of against covid yet. >> this is the down side of wearing a mask.

you have to wear pants. this is tough stuff. why do they make you wear pants? i am trying to figure it out. >> laura: he is super smart, right? that's the best argument he could come up with? >> he admitted later in the talk that because of vaccines and natural immunity people had t-cell immunity to covid. when you have 90% immunity why talking about masks, bill? >> laura: why doesn't he become head of the cdc and the w.h.o.? he did the computer thing and now the medical doctor of the world. >> this week the cdc is about to announce loosening the mask mandates requirements indoors. the timing of of the runway show

and bill gates it's all off. i have breaking news a fox news alert. the ratings came in. nbc news suffered a 48% drop off in olympic viewers. your not one minute campaign bore some fruit. the chinese olympics were not what americans wanted to watch. >> laura: one giant prison camp with curling. they should have had curling with the members of the ccp, they should have done the curling. it was a total train wreck. the russian skater all the way down. >> i am saving your raymond arroyo cup for when you come to

new orleans. >> laura: this is scary. we will be there. i will see you in a few days. we will see what you are made out of as the grand marshall. thanks. an epidemic in america. hate crime hoaxes am stay right there. . am stay right there.

(vo) what makes my heart beat? having everything i want in the place i love. jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go!

>> ♪ ♪ >> laura: this edition of the justifiable racism series takes us to sacramento, california with an egregious hate crime was a race hoax. a black female student admitted to scribbling racist graffiti in a high school. it was meant to inflame racial intentions. the school wants to take disciplinary action the naacp want it swept under the rug. joining me now, this happened before. this was a teenager.

we don't want to blow this out of proportion, if there was a different fact pattern they would not slack this off, would they? >> well, yeah, i want to it highlight the bigotry not the student or the racial host perpetrator but the left and the school administrators naacp. we can't apply to blacks and other minorities the standards to anyone. if a white student perpetrated a racist hoax this would be outrageous. the white student would be expelled and brought up on charges. but when the situation is reversed, the idea is the black

students can't be judged by the same standards as the white students. there is a deep presumption here of deep inferiority not just at this school. >> laura: the anti-racism hand book author believes that, correct? there is no possibility of racist views being held by non-whites? that's where they are going. >> yes, this goes back to the early stages of filter filter. -- affirmative action. one affirmative action evolved the left had to make a distinction. they made a distinction between racism that is in favor of white

house and benign racism which was racial discrimination in favor of minorities. but it was still considered to be racism and a form of discrimination. the left said why benign it racism is racism is at all. let's define racism in a way that only white house can do it. whatever minorities do, we don't count it as racism because we defined racism to exclude that possibility. >> laura: gavin newsom claims these culture wars are propagated by the right and they are dividing the country along racial lines. he saw the san francisco school board election and across the

country. but they did it from the beginning and they continue to it do it. i don't think they know what to do at this point. they are like you are a racist. their default answer is you are a racist. >> one aspect of the american creed is all humans are created equal. this doctrine of colorblindness is an application of that principle. this is the only doctrine that can unify the country. the left attempting to poisonous against that idea. that's why they are in trouble. there is no way other way for the country to move forward other than to treat people as a minority. >> laura: up next kamala harris embarrassing america again.
