give a different point of view. and, you know, we don't have this camera in front of me without you. thank you for that. you make it possible, and everybody else that watches. i'll take it with humility and keep working hard every night to earn your viewership. we appreciate you being with us. that's all the the time we have left this evening. thank you for being with us. set your dvr so you never ever miss a show of hannity. let not your heart be troubled. here's laura. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham ham and this is "the ingraham angle" from los angeles. thank you for joining us on a very busy night. we begin with the real killing machine. now, in the wake of the horrific murders of tyra nichols, the debate about police reform has once again being reunited. >> when you look at what's taking place, the police culture, we need reform, we need to dismantle these systems and these policies. >> we need to re-imagine, we

need to restructure, we need to reconfigure the way in which we police. >> here we are still waiting for real reform to the way policing is conducted in this country. >> laura: actually the reform and al sharpton and others are pining for already happened necessity memphis. that police department already revised its policies following the murder of george floyd. the effort was called re-imagine policing in memphis. now, it was called reimagining policing but what was re-imagined? it was re-imagined with awful consequences. in addition to addressing excessive force the department also loosened its hiring standards. in fact, two of the five officers involved in the killing of nichols were hired during this period. so when folks like cory booker or al sharpton blame this this shows the overwhelming need for what they call police reform, i agree. we need to reform their reforms.

like memphis, chicago lowered its hiring standards for police in 2022. they were following the likes of philadelphia, and new orleans. they also instituted changes in recent years. how is that all working out? new orleans just became the murder capital of the united states. philadelphia had record high number of homicides in 2021, and chicago saw 700 homicides in 2022 alone. so by reducing standards, the goal was to produce, what, a more equitable representative police force. but it's only led to more deaths and more crime. you might have noticed something as it relates to the tyree nichols story. the video is objectively far more gruesome and disturbing than the george floyd video, and yet -- >> there weren't violent protests. >> things have remained relatively peaceful. >> demonstrators marched in

cities including atlanta, los angeles and phoenix. the majority of the protests remained peaceful. >> laura: no riots other than news coverage, has already begun to kind of taper off. why is that? because there isn't a racial element to it. so next time, ask yourselves if there really are working to help the communities the activists purport to care so much about. but recognize what's happening here. it's a continual -- it's a nonstop disrespect and demeaning of law enforcement across the country. this has been happening for decades really. it predates george floyd. the narrative goes like this. number one, every police-involved shooting is presented as a racial matter thought nationally distorts good police response. number two, left wing prosecutors side with criminals against the people who pay their

salaries. and number three, crime spirals out of control and taxpayers end up demanding more policing. then number four, given the danger, the mistreatment, the lack of respect, recruitment suffers among law enforcement, which ultimately leads to cops like the memphis five. the left creates all the conditions for the crisis to flourish, and then, the left says, oh, we have the answers. joining me now is foley, former homicide detective and commander of major crimes and chief of the detective bureau in hartford, connecticut, right near my hometown of glastonbury. why should we trust new national standards that they say will solve all of this when they will be written by the same folks who caused a lot of these problems in the first place? >> after a lot of these things that come out, laura, they always want to institute or bring out some new changes or training. we always hear about new training.

i hate one after an emotional incident painting with a broad paint brush all cops and police departments across the country. every community in every state has different police departments with different needs and they should have a say in how their police departments are trained but this is not a training issue. this isn't some rookie who made a split second decision to shoot or don't shoot and we're thinking, if they had different standards this cop wouldn't have made that decision. this is much different. i promise you, somewhere in memphis, tennessee there is a police academy instructor saying this is not how we trained these five officers. this was a conscious and intentional neglect from how they were trained, and i believe it's more of lack of professionalism. likely within that unit of -- you heard the woman say, of the culture within there. look it. the name of the unit was the scorpion unit. here's a lesson to what can go wrong. here's a lesson to police commanders around the country. when you have cool units and

want to put an acronym on it. doesn't put it as something that kills people. these units do a lot of good and to get rid of the units, again, across the whole country, in our cities, the only thing that will happen is violence is going to go up in those cities where you get rid of those units. >> laura: in new york, they got one, rid of a similar unit, a violent crime unit in new york. they disbanded that. how did that work out? i want to play this for you, brian, one former police captain said that what happened could actually now be part of a national trend. watch this. >> there is a place in this video where the dispatcher asks for charges and no one says anything. and so it made me wonder, is this typical, is this something that this unit does all of the time? no one can even explain why he was stopped. we hear reckless driving, but the chief says, we don't have any evidence that there was reckless driving.

so is this a trend of some sort? is this something that they do nightly? >> laura: okay. is that a fair analysis? >> so, look, these types of units are involved, i think there is more to come on this story, laura, to be honest with you. these types of units don't do rips for reckless driving. something doesn't strike me as right with what happened, and how they would pull somebody over for reckless unless that person was directly involved in violence that type of unit is going after your most violent offenders and getting them off the street. this doesn't fit the scenario, and again, i think this is one isolated unit acting a little bit rogue and with obviously a completely unprofessional culture. you saw hoodies and sneakers as part of their uniforms. these units have to be kept in check but they do so much good and countless units across the united states, countless guns and killers off the streets. we had one in hartford, connecticut, it was fantastic, you can't tell how many lives they saved but they have to be kept in check.

and, you know, they have to also be a part of the community and wanted by the community. again, i go back to the name of the scorpion unit. you named it after something that kills things. not well planned out there in memphis, tennessee. >> laura: great to see you. thank you. >> shame if we don't use his tragic death to finally get justice for police act passed. >> we'll look at what makes sense to help make sure they have the proper training but no amount of training is going to change what we saw in that video. >> laura: the fight over police reform looks destined to come to congress's door but as we just heard federal intervention in policing matters, it's doomed to fail. joining us now is florida congressman byron donalds. congressman, what's the sense from house republicans on this? >> the sense right now, first, obviously what we all saw in that video, was absolutely horrific. shouldn't have happened. some of the conversations actually have come around

centered around tim scott's bill, the justice act, something that came up during 2020, and it was the republican response to actually do things like provide more funding for training, more funding for body cams. things like that. to actually help with the training apparatuses, unlike what some people are calling for which is the george floyd act from that time period. >> laura: well, the refrain that we've heard on some other networks has been, i mean, there is nothing short of -- the word "insanity" to describe it including from maxine waters. watch this. >> i don't expect anything from that. we've got to try to do everything we possibly can but i think, you know, the average american person can see what's going on. we have these right-wing conservatives. we have domestic terrorists in the house of representatives. these people are extremists, and

so i'm not optimistic. >> laura: okay. so that's her response to memphis. it's essentially your fault. >> i got no idea what she's even talking about. it made no sense to me. look, the members of congress what we have to understand is that you can't nationalize every issue. what happened in memphis was heinous. it was awful. but the reality is, the local police department is the one that's got to solve these problems. they have to look at their training standards. they have to look at their hiring practices. every law enforcement agency has to do that. specific to washington, there are, there are handful of things we can do. we can probably help these police departments with equipment and training. but you can't solve those problems for them from capitol hill. law enforcement will continue to be a local issue, in every community. and communities have stock together and solve it. >> laura: speak of insane, the new york city mayor adams, he's dealing with an explosion of sleep. crime in his city.

he made this comment about the motives of the officers charged in nichols' death. watch. >> i think racism is still on the table when a culture of police historically has treated those from different groups differently, even when the individuals are from that same group, that culture can still exist and we have to zero in on it, be honest about it and making sure that we properly train police for the realities of the cities they are policing in. >> laura: correct about training but he's essentially saying racism is what motivated the five police officers. does that make sense? >> i just don't understand what i'm responding to here, laura. that made no sense. if he has an issue look at the district attorneys. once you have a situation where

people are being held accountable, then you might get less of these situations. what happened in memphis, like i said, is horrific. nobody -- that should never happen to anybody. period. but to blame race and to blame republicans, that's just insane. that's political rhetoric. it's unfortunate that the left is doing what they always do trying to cast dispersions on everybody else instead of looking at their own policy prescriptions that have led to these issues in the first place. >> laura: recovering door of left wing prosecutors. congressman, great to see you. thank you. speaking of erica adams, what happens when new york city tells illegal aliens, specifically, single adult men, that they need to leave their kurby digs in an upper westside hotel that they have been living in for free. cushy with digs. >> laura: okay. that was last night. now, many of them are still refusing to go.

they are opting instead to stay on the streets outside of the hotel. >> dozens of migrants living on the streets of manhattan's west side are refusing the city's demand to pack up. they are all single men this weekend who told them they were being relocated from the hotel to allow room for migrant families. the men were all provided new housing at a cruise line terminal in brooklyn that's been set up as a temporary shelter. the stand-off continues at the migrant encampment this evening on manhattan's west side. the migrants say they will not leave and the city says they cannot return to the hotel. one migrant from venezuela told us tell remain on the street until they receive acceptable permanent housing. >> laura: joining us now is steven miller, senior adviser to president trump, founder of america first legal. steven, they are negotiating

will legal aliens living for freeality -- i presume they have been given phones, because they want permanent housing. a lot of veterans want permanent housing in the united states as well. >> permanent and free housing. one of the signs that the migrants -- the illegal migrants was, cancel rents. they want permanent free housing, and they are negotiating the terms with the city of new york demanding how much rent, how much food, how much medical care, how many benefits, amenities and luxuries they are going to get while living illegally in our country in criminal violation of federal law. this is the depth of insanity to which we have now sunk in the year 2023. >> laura: steven what does this do to the local communities? i have lot of pals in manhattan. when i'm in manhattan, i'm in midtown. it does change the character of

the city. new york is already dealing with a huge homelessness problem. petty crime. in some cases sleep. crimes. and now this. this, too, apparently to make it all a trifecta of perfection. >> you can't afford it. the social workers that should be dealing with the city's own problems in terms of kids who are in need, families that are struggling, the social workers are diverted to deal with illegal aliens. the public education system can't keep up. the healthcare system can't keep up. when these individuals, they don't have health insurance. they don't have doctors and pediatricians. they go to the emergency room for front line medical care. that means instead of waiting for two hours when you have an emergency now you're waiting six hours, seven hours, eight hours, and who is paying for knit the city is because they don't have the money to pay for their own medical bills. this destroys big cities and makes them unlivable and it will ultimately do that to our whole country. joe biden is importing millions of welfare cases, and not just

welfare cases, entitled welfare case who is are demanding free permanent housing. this will bankrupt this country. >> laura: steven, they are already into the left wing lingo. i'm surprised they are not already lobbying for crt in the schools. cancel rent. >> they learn fast. whether or not lights like this. we have to play this. listen. >> when you look at the price tag, it's going to continue to go up but we have to go to the source. the source is real comprehensive immigration reform. the republicans have been holding on and blocking it for too many years. we must get this resolved but there is a crisis right now and it should be coordinated by the national government. we need to expedite the right -- >> laura: so we need amnesty and apparently to make this a lot easier for people. >> amnesty and work permits.

he's attacking the republicans because they are not moving more quickly to make the illegal aliens, flooding into the country, courtesy of joe biden, into citizens with the ability to take american jobs. the democrats are the party of no borders, no immigration control, whatsoever, and i hope republicans will put this to the center of the national agenda and they will have the whole country behind them. >> laura: all right. steven, thank you. coming up later in the show, an update about something you've all been inquiring about on social media, and i will answer your question. and every single republican considering elected office in 2024 is going to have to make a set of decisions about where this country goes after joe biden. my angle will lay it all out next.

>> laura: the real stakes. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." the media are working overtime to get you wound up about nonsense. and it's all a side show so don't take your eye off the ball. today what matters is understanding two camps that make up america's stark divide. now, on the one side, we have what the angle calls the regime. it's a coalition of democrats, republicans, the media, and

certain portions of the business community, all of whom are committed to an agenda that empowers the super rich and various international organizations. now, on the other side, there is a growing populace conservative movement that's determined to use power and leverage of the united states government to empower working class americans. and they are going to do that by bringing up living standards and ensuring that they have more control over their own lives. now, the stakes for the country couldn't be higher. gallup just released results of an eye-opening poll. it asked what do you think is the most important problem facing this country today? 10% said the economy. 11% said immigration. 15% said inflation. and topping the list, 21% said the government and poor leadership is the major problem. yes. more importance say the federal government, which is supposed to be working for us is the biggest problem out there.

and the other problems like high prices are caused by the reckless government policies, so why are we all surprised? it makes perfect sense to "the angle," because for the regime, federal bureaucracy exists to carry out its policies no matter who the voters elect. so if we pick someone like a trump or a desantis the regime will expect federal bureaucrats to do everything possible to undermine that president. to prevent any significant changes to the regime's policies. on the other hand, when we have a president biden, the regime will move forward with measures that are so patently illegal such as that loan forgiveness scheme and they will be livid if the courts try to stop them. we populace believe our government should be of, by, and for the people, and the voters, not the bureaucrats, should set the course on policy. and, of course, the regime wants open borders. we just talked about this because believe it is immoral

for the united states to deny entry to anyone who wants to come here. but also because it gives big business an unlimited supply of cheap labor that it can use to hold wages down. we populists believe being an american citizen is a privilege that should come with real benefits, not just obligations, and we know closing the border would inevitably read this higher wages for american workers. for the regime, defending europe, though, that's the top foreign policy goal for the united states. europe is the heart of globalization, after all. it's the home to the european union, the world trade organization, the world health organization, and countless other outposts and globalization. they are all opposed to the primacy of the nation-state, our sovereignty, believe me, they all speak the same language. >> what we're about is standing up for basic principles, basic rights, and a rules-based international order. >> a lot of people would like to

see that there are two orders in this world. this is a huge mistake. we need a single global order. >> laura: the regime also sees europe as the model for our future. a tech cratic state. so from that per specttive, europe cannot be allowed to fail. >> it will be with the ukrainian people for as long as it takes for them to defend themselves. >> as i told president zalensky, we're with you for as long as it takes. whether or not lights always america first, europe first, excuse me, and americans last. but the populace believes the real threat lies in asia and 78 years after the end of world war ii, the europeans should be

managing their own situations. >> we've worked together in getting some of our allies to pay their fair share. at some point i think it will have to go higher. >> germany, honestly, is not paying their fair share. i have a great feeling for germany but they aren't paying what they should be paying. we're paying a big proportion of nato, which basically is protecting europe. >> laura: bingo. they hated him for saying that. he was a hundred percent right. it's worse actually, though, because we're also paying for a disproportionate share of europe's proxy war with russia now. and then, of course, there is china. which the regime sees as primarily a helpful partner. regime spokesman like john kerry see china as an ally. >> what can be done about china? >> china interestingly enough, china has a plan. >> more electric vehicles will be put on the road over the next year or so in china than all of the rest of the world put together. >> laura: and the chamber of

converse and other business groups, they see china as a foe ter -- potential for cheap markets. because the rejeep doesn't really care about what happens to asia they are fundamentally indifferent to the fact that china is using their gargantuan trade surplus with the united states to build the most powerful military in the world. we populists claim it's an existential threat to americans. that we should stop helping to make the ccp rich and our military and foreign policy should be refocused on the threat from china. and let's face it, the regime sees climate change as an urgent danger. they want us to live in smaller spaces, ditch our gas appliances, and certainly ditch our automobiles. they want to reverse almost all

the progress we've enjoyed since the end of world war ii. and cram us into congested cities and force us to use beijing-style bike lanes. the sane among us see that as just another rerun of what they did with covid. aagenda designed to control us and it will do almost nothing to address the alleged problem that they are citing. destroying our economy, preventing innovation, it's not going to save the planet. it will just make it easier for china and others to boss us around. finally, social conservatives. they are far more dangerous than the ccp or even foreign terrorists, for that matter. the regime knows that people whose hope lies in heaven and who pay more attention to the bible than to the media aren't easily manipulated or bossed around. this is why they seek to up end traditional institutions like law enforcement, the military, and the nuclear family.

>> while the image of the nuclear family is often held up as the idea and only form a family can take, whether or not that's true seems to vary by social group and region. it's important to remember, whatever form, shape, or size it takes, we have the power to define what families should look like for ourselves. >> laura: and, of course, anti-american propaganda is their lifeblood which the populace are working toes pose especially parents fighting radicalism in our schools today. so all these policy differences that i laid out, they are big. they are serious. and as we ramp up for 2024, they should be our focus. not whatever shiny objects the press dangles to divide us. and that's "the angle." a pair of politician coos be a part of a new reboot with deadly consequences. raymond arroyo here on the set with me in los angeles. all the details in "seen and unseen" here on the set next. m ♪ ♪ i realize i'm no spring chicken. ♪

>> laura: it is time for our "seen and unseen" segment where we reveal the stories behind the news headlines. we turn to fox news contributor raymond aratio. you have a series of reboots. >> laura, some of these are so frightening i hesitate to bring them to your attention but you know how disney has released life action versions of their classic films like "beauty and the beast," or "pinocchio" well, now it seems those classic muppet characters, are about to get their on live action movie. the angle exclusively acquired this screen test. >> folks, i know you're frustrated. i am as well. and i am too. >> guess what? because of these republican officials not even one of the over 80,000 people from

delaware, where i know you're from, joe, who applied for student debt relief, or were eligible for automatic loan forgiveness, have been able to get a dime of that relief. >> don't you love how they take turns. this was part of bide president's pitch to get his $361 million dollar student debt forgiveness implemented. it's welfare for the wealthy, taking money from working class people, including those who couldn't afford college to pay for those with degrees. this is an exercise in futility. >> you think this is bad thing for me. >> laura: if you want him to throw out pieces of paper, it looks like it's a satire. >> don't rule out bernie and joe rebooting waldorf -- they are perfect for these roles. both routinely yell at the audience, like the muppets, like

the muppets, other people provide their word. so they are perfect. the president has a demonstrated gift, dealing with larger than life at times imaginary characters. there was, of course, hide and seek with the easter bunny. >> laura: wants he just try to pull him away when he was making no chance. >> and then he spent halloween with a witch. i think you call this a witch doctor. >> but just the other day to celebrate the lunar new year the president locked eyes with dragon. look at this, laura. look, he takes it so seriously. he watches every head bob and he's waiting for the dragon to come at him. it was quite a display. this could be its own franchise, how to train your president. >> laura: that's like the stock market going up and down. >> biden is so intent, he's looking at it like it's real. >> laura: i used to go visit my dad, little things like that can

really make their day. a little addition to their day especially bright colors. i think it's nice -- that they are bringing new elements into his world. >> just to vary the stimuli. there was a very odd moment at this new year's celebration, where jill biden had the wherewithal to stop it. dead in its tracks, watch. >> come on up, joe. >> no, you're not going to dance, believe me. we don't want to ruin the evening loop. whethe -- evening. >> laura: laura lightfoot in chicago, she was dancing in the streets to celebrate the new year. >> 61% year-over-year increase in homicides. 194 people shot in the city since january. laura, since january 1. and, what is it with dancing

mayors, okay? mayor latoya cantrell of new orleans, the murder capitol of the world, she's facing a recall. lightfoot may not be great mayor but she's a heck of a dance moment. look here, interesting partner, she's with darth vader. >> laura: is this recent? >> i get the pairing. they are both death stars. cantrell presided over 24 murders since the top of the month and she's missing so many cops, 600 by some estimates, she's renting cops to come in to keep the peace during mardi gras. >> laura: i have a question. during mardi gras, which we've had so much fun at over the years, are you going to be on horseback, like on horseback like you were last week? >> i don't think i'll be on horseback. >> laura: are you part? >> i may find myself some way

into the mardi gras crew. no more grand marshals. i'm done with that. i'm going to be a masked figure like many others. just a member of the crew. >> laura: all right. >> cantrell is facing a recall, laura, over her spending and alleged affair with a security detour. an officer on her police force, in fact, she responded this way. >> it's none of my business and quite frankly, yours. based on the false allegations that come our way by the time i finish this job literally, you know, accused of sleeping with half the city of new orleans, bothenders and all pronounce, i'm known as td sometimes, and then teddy other times. >> laura: what? okay, that was actually one of the funniest things i have ever heard her say. she should write. we're in l.a., they need her writing. they need her writing to make these net flick scripts better. >> but we went from an alleged affair to now an alleged new gender identity for the mayor of

new orleans. i can't -- i couldn't follow the line of thinking, but it is rather -- i noticed teddy sometimes -- >> laura: apparently she reads all her social media. >> i don't know that i could sleep with the entire city of new orleans in two years. she's got to get going. whatever the case, it might be time for a thelma and louise reboot. one could well lose her election. the other is 15,000 signatures away from being recalled. they may be having their last dances, laura. >> laura: raymond, i don't imagine that either of them would ever get reelected but latoya cantrell just got reelected. >> she did but now they are trying to recall her. >> laura: you get the government you vote for so i guess the city of new orleans, the city of chicago, they have to deep suffering over and over. i don't know. the same. i don't know, is l.a. ever going

to stop suffering? i don't know. >> but at least darth vader has a dance partner. look at the bright side. >> laura: i just want to see you on horseback managing the crowds. all right, raymond. it's so good to have you here. thank you. >> laura: all right. jack phillips, the colorado baker, who has been under attack from left wing activists. i think it's for over a decade. he's being targeted again. the details are here. the baker is here exclusively in moments. doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the street, talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car? you have the check engine light, but the heart doesn't have a hey, check heart sign. i want to show you something. put both fingers right on those pads. there you go. in 30 seconds, we're going to have a medical grade ekg. -there it is. -that is you. look at that.

>> laura: you remember my next guest jack phillips. he's that colorado baker whose case went all the way to the supreme court after he refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple back in 2012. he said it would have violated his first amendment rights to religious liberty, his christian faith. he won on that narrow ground but he's now back in court fighting a different battle. but it's related. after refusing to make a transgender birthday cake. yes, apparently those exist. the lawyer wanted a pink cake with blue frosting to celebrate the transition from male to female. the colorado court of appeals

last week ruled that phillips refusal to make the cake did not constitute free speech and that it was illegal to refuse services to someone based on sexual orientation. jack phillips, owner of masterpiece cake shop, joins me, along with two guests. jack, your reaction now, more than a decade after you first tangled with the radicals on this about this ruling and your next steps. >> well, first of all, i just want to make it clear that we serve everybody that comes in but we can't create every cake that people ask us to create because of those messages those cakes might express. they are custom artwork. this attorney, called us up the date that they announced they would take our case in 2017, and asked for the cake that you describe, pink on the inside and

blue on the outside and told us that those colors were symbolic of changing from a male to a female. at that point that cake became a message and we told him that this was a message that we couldn't express with our custom art and we would be glad to serve this attorney anything else in this shop, make custom art but we couldn't create this one. that wasn't good enough. the attorney went to the colorado civil rights commission and filed a complaint and they have filed charges against me and sued me right after the supreme court had reprimanded the civil rights commission for their impermissable hostility in the first go around when they compared my beliefs to slavery and the holocaust. >> laura: you're being targeted. i'm a lawyer. you're being targeted. they think you're a threat. you're a bigger threat than al qaeda or any criminal cartel. you are the threat. they think. so the trial court found that

scardenia called with actual intent to purchase the cake and then the court determined that it wasn't a setup to initiate litigation, it just happens to be the same baker. i mean, your reaction to that? it was requested right on the same day that the supreme court announced it would hear jack's original wedding cake case back in 2017. kind of anniversary deal. i mean, it doesn't make -- it doesn't pass the straight face test here. >> no. that seems like a bit of a stretch. really, laura, there is so much wrong with the court of appeals decision here. if you look at this case, it fits squarely within the contours of the creative. another free speech case out of colorado that shows the extreme measures colorado is going to, to suppress and coerce artists like jack, like lori smith, to speak, and until the supreme court is clear that all artists, whether it's someone who is trying to make a little more

money, whether it's jack phillips who is designing beautiful cakes, or lori smith who is creating custom websites, all artists should be free to express what they believe and governments should not be allowed to coerce them into saying something that's contrary to those beliefs. >> laura: well, jack, a few months later, there was another cake that this scardenia character requested that you make, which you also refused. what was that? >> well, the cake in question this time was a cake depicting satan smoking marijuana and he's admitted in court that these cakes were to correct the errors of my thinking, and it was a setup and it was intentional and it was staged in a specific way. and scardenia also swore under oath if i win this case or it's dismissed the very next day i would get another phone call with another cake and we would start all over again and the courts seem to ignore that or not hear that part. >> laura: the bottom line here, beyond this particular case, in

my view, is that the left wants to drive christians out of the public square. you don't even have a right to have a small business if you're a christian today. you certainly don't have any conscience, right? you have no religious rights. you have no first amendment rights. if you clash with what they believe to be, you know, supremely protected among us. do you feel that's where we're headed here? >> i think that's definitely a danger here. a win for lori is a win for everyone because it protects everyone's rights to free speech. like mr. phillips here. >> laura: jack and erin, we'll be following this as usual, thank you, both. >> laura: coming up, an update on a personal health issue next. i'm an older student. i'm getting my doctorate in clinical psychology. i do a lot of hiking and kayaking. i needed something to help me gain clarity. so i was in the pharmacy and i saw a display of prevagen

and i asked the pharmacist about it. i started taking prevagen and i noticed that i had more cognitive clarity. memory is better. it's been about two years now and it's working for me. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

when aspen dental told me that my dentures were ready, i was so excited. i love the confidence. i love that i can blast this beautiful smile and make the world smile with me. i would totally say aspen dental changed my life. aspen dental makes new smiles affordable. right now, get 20% off dentures. we do anything to make you smile.
