"the ingraham angle" is up next. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is a special edition of "the ingraham angle" from new york city. tonight, it's a week in an hour. now we begin with olympic failure, that's the focus of tonight's angle. most of you are probably only vaguely aware that the opening ceremonies of the summer olympics happened this morning in tokyo. we had obscene and unnecessary covid rules even for healthy young athletes reading up to this, a ban on most spectators, and an overload of olympians who think we somehow care about their political views. come on, there will be great performance is no doubt, but how boring aleta. in contrast to our wonderful collective memories of olympics past. our rivalry with the former soviet union that made beating the hockey team a true miracle on ice. the mind-blowing gymnastics performances and 20 years later, simone biles. and who could forget michael phelps peer president reagan opening the 1984 olympics or

the fact is, democrats used covid to change the way we all voted. all along, with the intent of making those new rules permanent. the new voting normal. with states getting wise, though, to their sleight-of-hand, liberals are growing more desperate and sloppy. the act is just not that convincing anymore. >> we are going to face another test in 2022, a new wave of unprecedented voters, raw and sustained election subversion. have to prepare now. as i've said time and again, no matter what, you can never stop the american people from voting. >> laura: now, if they couldn't start harvesting ballots right now, 42022 and 2024, they would. they've been upfront about wanting to eliminate all voter i.d. requirements, which they argue are inherently racist. they even want to prevent the regular scrubbing of dead voters or voters who moved from the roll. they did that, remember, in florida and georgia, and you would think police or fire and water cannons at voters headed to the polls, the way they described it. so as usual, democrats, they are going for stunts

they are using taxpayer money on this political junk to washington, d.c., to prevent us from passing laws that will make our community safer. >> laura: i have a question. does anyone know who pays for the private plane and the luxury bus? is it all on the up enough? it's not cheap, right? >> this is not cheap for the travel. so get this. they are getting paid, going to get food all that kind of stuff. but they are still getting taxpayer-based money and their staffs are still getting taxpayer-based money. so they are still living off of the government dime even while on this trip. all the while, they are doing fund-raising projects online, trying to raise money for this. and it really is both hypocritical, despicable, but it's really the worst thing you could say about a texan is that they are so afraid. they are running away from a fight that they were hired by their voters to do. they were hired by the voters to go to the capital and articulate what their opinion was. >> laura: they have this luxury bus that you see as well. one of -- this is a buffoon's on the bus had something to

july 4th reminds us of our hard-won liberties. edit marks or independence as a people from a tyrannical overlord. historically, the british. beyond cookouts and monitor sales, john adams wrote a letter to his wife on july 3rd 1776 clearly explaining his vision of july 4th. "it ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to god almighty. it ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade with shows, games, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other." i'm well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this declaration and support and defend these states. yet through all the gloom, i can see the rays of ravishing light and glory." what has become of those rays of ravishing light and glory? adams would choke on a hot dog if he saw how cavalierly americans brush off their birthright. a new fox news poll finds that only 69% of americans now believe the u.s. is the best country in the world to live in. just six years ago it was 83% per the n

this is a gorgeous part of the us. the foothills of adirondack incredibly beautiful but at the same time, i can almost feel the hope their evaporating. what americans thought was going to be a fresh start post covid on the verge of slipping away. coming up at the gas station i noticed other customers exasperated they were literally changing the price of gas on the sign and they were looking at the price almost $4 a gallon. when trump left office it was $2.24 in the dc area and around the country, turns out president biden's administration 6 months in is itself already out of gas. they might think they are doing a lot because for them destroying individual initiatives, blowing money we don't have our huge accomplishments but a quick look at where america stands shows us biden has taken a golden opportunity and grounded into the dirt. the public optimism about the future is plummeting just since may according to a new poll it is down nearly 20 points to 45%. in late spring we were all looking forward to the future, the s

to come into conduct some "investigation," afterwards they are going to trash us and equate us, trash us and give a pass, as usual, to countries like china. >> yeah, totally pathetic, laura. tony blinken, like his boss joe biden, is sticking a "kick me" sign on uncle sam's back. they should tell that person to pack his bags and head straight to china where china is committing against religious and ethnic minorities. where they are engaged in a systematic sterilization of minority women so they can't reproduce. or, barring that, the systematic rape of them so they produce han chinese, to say nothing of what they have done to hong kong over the last year, or to christians who are simply trying to worship god in their homes throughout china. that is where the u.s. should be focusing on human rights abuses. they should not be coming to the united states, and it is disgraceful that joe biden and tony blinken have asked them to do so. >> laura: but senator, doesn't this have an actual effect on our national security, our secretary of state, by allowing this to happen on u.s. soil, with the

how will this information be used? these are all important questions that bear directly on matters of personal medical privacy. but the biden administration can always just rely on their big business and university pals that all end up getting some federal help or federal money, and they will end up doing the strong-arming for the government against all those hesitant americans. >> there are a lot of companies, over 500 colleges and universities, a growing number of the hospitals, health care systems, that are mandating vaccines for their employees, for their students. they want to create a safe environment for everyone. >> laura: speaking of creepy, how ironic that a woman who once headed up the biggest abortion provider in america thinks she is an expert on creating safe environments? the fact is the past year has shown us that federal and state officials must never be allowed to abuse their emergency powers again. as we predicted, now it's about a year ago that we said this, blue state governors are going to be usin
