everyone, i am laura ingraham, s and this is "the ingraham angle" laspfrom washington tonight.stil the site of the baltimore bridge collapse were search and rescue mission is still underway. joining is now fox news senior correspondent, kevin corke, what can you tell us? >> laura, first things first, the fbi tells us they have seen no evidence to suggest there was foul play by way of terrorism involved in this tragedy here. g however, the search and rescue was ongoing.incr and that is despite incredibly long odds as we show you livegh. pictures of what we are talking about frigid waters last night.r six people still missingowin belonging to a construction crew. of course, owing to the collapse thanks to the cargo ship hitting the bridge. the francis scott key bridge collapse and lately, sadly, the death of six and possibly many, many more. however, the governor has been here, part of a sizable cadre of federal and state lawmakers on

hand to a person to have health to work quickly to restore not just the bridge, but the entire waterway. >> i mt is urgent and theth conversation with president biden coming isth promising to do everything at thate federal level to expediteo get reopened. every day millions of millionstu of dollars lost, thousands ofe workerpos depend upon the ports being opened.nd >> i indeed, lots of people depd on this port, and it is a massive point of congress which is big in this area.elea one person had been hospitalized instance released. we can tell you about that but in the meantime search andn, t rescue continues, laura. >> laura: kevin, the watersre there are frigid, as you said, h in the 40s.as i'i know there is conversation i terrible tragic as this is, how long someoney of can survive ini spirit are youal hearing any

stomach anything with positive news all these hours later? >> nothing in that respect.ak i'm trying tero be as hopeful, d you heard lawmakers today saying as much. they are defiant in their belief that, listen, anything can happen here. but to b aree completely candidi have covered many stories likein this where you are talking extremely cold temperatures ine the water. itle would be incredible if anyl were able to survive that,gh laura. >> laura: kevin, thank you st.o much.s why trust matters? that is the focus of tonight's "angle." >> everything so far indicateslv this is an accident. at this time we have no otherrei indication or intentional activity. >> the preliminary investigation points to anedib accident. we haven't seen any credible evidence of a terrorist attack. >> laura: has kevin chose to read, friends, that is what everybody is saying, but why so

many americans following this collapse believing that the biden team is not telling us old truth?r axios writing information runs rampant after baltimore bridgeoi correct domain collapse.oris whether hostile actors involved, questions about economic terrorism and even while speculation i won't go into o tonight, but these ideas don't spring out of nowhere. they grow and fester in situations where it's at the facts arreale hard to square wih reality or where those in charge themselves have proven to be not credible. t but it's all about trust. even axios had to concede that t social media companies are haunted by the handling of the biden laptop controversy and covid-19 lab theory leak which contributed to widespread distrust amongg conservatives. of course, we have got to say this, they were obviously extremely dedicated peoplek in o

work in all of these agencies that are helping try to solve the situation there, but when trust is repeatedly broken, it shouldn't surprise anyone during a crisis our leaders explanations and assurances as much as we want them sometimes don't carry much h weight. now, here is the problem, it ise not x or twitter's fault or elon musk or conservatives that have to placate here appear the problem is we have a d.c. establishment that has been wrong or misleading on issue after issue. and remember, they dismissedtheo renowned experts, not on just covid or hunter's laptop but on lethality, unmasks, on with their school closures werebi necessary commands and the biden administration flicked off concerns about the chineses di balloon it seem like for ages ca they did that, claiming it wasn't a problem. only later did we learn the truth.

it was a chi spy balloon in chia was gathering sensitive data and sending it back to beijing all along. and of course, we have seen government agencies repeatedly turn and political weapons use not only against trump, but other conservatives including even traditional catholics. now, we all remember what theyia did in the 2016 election, the russian collusion investigation, but let's not forget just last a yearbu after january 6th we foud out the fbi abused its powers. as reported, the fisa court found thousands of violations of section 102 a foreign intelligence surveillance act, which allows the federal government to click communications with targeted foreign individuals outside of the u.s. then, earlie theizedear, night circuit unanimous molly ruled the fbi illegally seized millions of dollars inaf cash fm

th e safe deposit boxes plus ado mix ofcu jewelry, personal effes and document such as wills an agre cod prenuptial agreemene with the court agreed with defendant's arguments that the fbi did not abide by the limitations of the search warrant. >> jenny pearson like hundreds of others kept her valuables here inside what was a private volt in beverly hills. >> what we had work points. >> when she arrived one day last r box, all shehe saw was this notice the fbi had taken everything. >> this is the fbi a minute seems like they have a plan to literally still $80 million. >> $85 million to be exact. seized from 700 safety deposit boxes. >> laura: of course, there is the other issue of basic competency in leadership. no human being on earth believes that pete buttigieg, the former mayor of south bend, got his jot at d.o.t. becausede he was the

most talented person out there in managing what is a complexs l department of transportation issues, all of them are complicated. he checked a very important box the same is true throughout biden gnomic biden's covenant.ne we hope pete buttigieg writes as to the f occasion on the list. but given the administration's low food east palestine train derailment, the skepticism out there is not unjustified. now, i can tell you after working for jim as his term asin secretary of transportation, he will join us next segment where there was never any doubt that he was the bese tht man to be te secretary of transportation because back then, in the 80s, diversity wasn't thein ruling ethos, but in bidenville it literally is all that

matters. >> i fulfilled that promise and it looks like historic cabinet. this will be the first cabinmany ever that is evenly composed with as many womenca as men in e cabinet. this'll be the first cabin ever with the majority of people of color occupying his cabinet. >> laura: okay, but today is a e day that we need to believe in our government. we need to believe our government has both supremeassa confidence in its top officials and unassailable integrity. we need to fully investigate why this happened. we need to prevent it from happening again.pact we need to try to minimize the economic impact and rebuild as quickly as possible.nist but both the administration aret less obsessed with virtual signaling and weaponize az of government agency is poison togo public trust. many years ago, kids were taugho the story of the boy who criedde wolf, i am sure you were taught

it, and we are supposed to take away the lesson that lying ilisa mistake because the time will come when you need people to believe that you are telling them the truth.r it turns out many of our leaders never learn this lesson. and now, no matter what they s say, no matter how incredible they want tot seem,be huge pors of thean c country won't believe them. when theor ay wonder what thisow is, they should look in the w mirror.ho and that is "the angle." missouri senator eric schmidt who serves on calmeree science d transportation committee, senator, is there anything the administration can do at this point to make most americans trust both theirf explanationsr and their handling of what is a nightmare of the united states with this bridge collapse? >> i think the first thing is ta make sure the families of thoses

missing and that all america's a people pulling for them and prayin ag for them. it is a tragic accident and something that should pull us hp together. tha we need leaders focused on thatl my hope is we would comedo together.ose democrat, republican, to do everything we can to support the families ain't give the people of baltimore and commerce up an. moving again. this is very important. her to. to your point, the promise this is the consequence, this distrust of terrible leadership when you have an administratione that has weaponize thes department of justicine trying o throw political opponents inllot jail, tried to throw them off the ballot, conduct vast censorship enterprise with those that don't buy in theirnsmi narrative whether efficacy of r covid after the vaccine or the hunter biden laptop.we time and time again, laura, they havetr viewed the country as an enemy in the wound to silence them any means necessary. we are right to be distrustful of this administration because

of their pas.t actions.t he and one more point here, they keep screaming about these threats to democracy. this administration has done more to underminine'e people's t in "democracrepuy and constituts republic" perhaps any time iny history.en you have a federal judge saying orwellian for censorship engaged in. these agencies need to step updp and stop bring about the woke checklist because the americaneo people care about safety, notni this virtue signaling they continue to sest e from the administration. >> laura: they should worrye th less about threats to democracy, first of all, they were threatening to micro stree.t and more threats to infrastructure. we will get into more of that iawith chad wolf, national security implications for that. but today at a press conference, senator my senator booted judge was asked a question about a pattern forming, watch. >> several peerage lessons happened over the past several

years but that ridgey felqul vy quickly. how concerned should americans be? know of a bridge instruct to withstand thisa dirt impact of a bridge of this size. me take that and learn fro that. >> that was a flippant answer they are, senator i'm not sure he's a structural engineer, but a little bit of faith deflection given again how key this bridge in this port is to the entire economy of the northeast of the united states, critical! >> yeah, pete buttigieg, by the way on the commerce committee refused to show up to answer tough questions. other department heads and members say he refuses to. maybe because he spent most of his time talking about racist roads or environmental justice or dei training and this is all happening under his watch.wh he didn't show up east palestine come i don't know why. the effect of the matter is, we

are not building semiconductor facilities, laura because i can't find enough ex-convicts to hire under the criteria. we are not langone of broadband under the calmest, commerce department because subcontractors with climate action plans. they are pushing ev mandatesng t which is her middle class people losing jobs in over two train up your misalignment from this peo administration. when they come today they talk about safetyat's, it is hard tos them seriously because it's not their priority. it has been on again, this wokes agenda over the no filmic nuts and bolts of what their job should be. >> laura: senator, this is a o tragic situation, at the humancr loss of life, of course, the economic damage. we need confidence and we need y belief in the basic t functionality of the m united states government. that is why trusright matters. senator, trust there thank you.e did today's bridge collapse

of what i think this does point to is thane nation's critical infrastructure and how vulnerable it can be. so you not only look at everything from health care systems to not only oursk transportation system, our utility systems, you looityk ate risk, you look at from b vulnerability and you also look at the criticality. we talked about this bridge and i-95 corridor and servings ma baltimore and a major artery for hazardous material spain transported, you must look at the criticality of that critical infrastructure and harden it ant protect it and make sure something does happen and resilience is built intoons its well. there is a lot of lessons to be learned here and a lot of answers that need to be and questions that need to be answered. >> laura: jim, you're the transportation secretary, the golden age of that department, a and you were an expert on soat s many things. but tellhoul us what happens ner

should happen next in this mess of a situation involving a critical port. >> laura, first, let me mention the six apparent fatalities and highway maintenance workers. that is the most dangerous unappreciated jobs in america. >> laura: you bet.n th >> it is usually motorists that threaten them and in this case, a bridge comes down. but the way that the filmic that we should proceed and should proceed, is the investigation led by the most credible agency in the united states governmendt that is in action transportatior safety board. it is bipartisan, impact, its most recent 20 chief of staff d.o.t. during the trump administration.ou it has highly esteemed group of subject matter experts and will

call on the various federal agencies at d.o.t., at the hs, the army corps of engineers, in this case, will be involved. and it will probably take quites a few months before they get the bottom linlusie conclusions.ould but that is where we should alln be focused ids on that agency ad what i hopt concludes. and it will make recomme recommendations, i hope, the executive branch and commerce will take seriously whatever they are periods me less than two months ago, christopher wray warned congress that china is sn and targeting our infrastructure.e watch this. >> there has been far too little public focus on the fact that prc hackers are targeting our critical infrastructure. chinese hackers are positioning on america infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to

american citizens and communities. if and when china decides the time has come to strike. >> laura: chad, that is chilling.ing re i forgot he said that until we are getting ready for the show.d again, we don't have any s to what happened here. likely an accident, but nevertheless, are we taking that warning seriously enough in the united states? >> i don't believe we are. what we know is we have seennd o only chinese, but russia, north korea, hackers looking an targeting our criticalsyst infrastructure. we have e seen ijut from the uta systems, and i believe this week we had the department of justice not only sanction but indict chinese hackers looking at trying tguaro steal information. >> laura: arrived, the coast guard is steppinng out tol give us the latest update on the collapse. >> tonight, we are going to heap from each of them, currentons. updates and after that, we will

be able to take a few questions. we need to keep it brief because we want to get these folks back to work. with that come i want to introduce you. >> good evening, everyone, first of all i would like to say thank you to all of the first responders that have come out today to assist and lookinge for these individuals. we've had tremendous support across hav the state and county city and federal enterprise.heli you see for yourself the helicopters flying over, the small boats out there, the coast guard cutters and bringing people out for these individuals.that so thank you to those entire community for that. and second come i want to say thank you to the community for the outpouringand of support to those first responderssupp, in particular the outpouring of support and prayers for the families of the six individuals. so, i would like to announce nce tonight that based on the lh time that we have gone on the

search, extensive search efforts we have put into it, the water temperature at this point, we dl not believe that we will find any of these individuals still alive. so, this evening at about 7:30, we are going to suspend the active search and rescue efforts. the coast guard is not goingjust away. none of our partners are goingdf away, but we will transition to a different phase. i will turn it over to coloneli butler. >> good morning, thank you for being here.e to echoed the comments here, wee really appreciate thspe support from the community and to all the first responders here. we appreciate your patience tong allow us to do the best job a possible and get you the information as it comes up. at this point, as the admiral said, we are goingn away with e search and rescue forces to recovery operation. the changing conditions out there have made it difficult for the first responders. the divers in the water we wills

have ships out overnight. six at 0600, we will put diverso in the water and began a detailed search to do our very best to recover those six missing people.we >> think you will without, well have time for a fewtime questions. a lot ofhere is questions to be answered if youa were to be do have time for just a few. >> we think it is still just 6:00. >>x all the information is we just have six individuals. >>ht b can you go into detail at the recovery phase now? what kind of challenges are you up against? >> i will start by saying and i will turn itan e over to the exs on diving. i'm not an expert on diving, but you have very difficult water temperatures. you have structures from the bridge thaidest are in the wateg that can move with the tides and

currents, making that dangerous for divers and try people in the water to actually try to do recovery.s we do not want to injure any of the first responders in thisfort recovery effort. we absolutely want to be as safe as possible for everyoneil involved in this. and i will let the colonel add.s >> can you go into details withb the search and rescue details and whether scuba divers orat everything above water, sonar over the past 12 hours?thos >> from the outside, we moved all those resources s and withs. dive teams from various state,o local, and county agencies. we also use sonar.time we are doing our very best in some very difficult times and very difficult conditions, which is why we are making that transition now. the last thing we want to do is put divers in the water with changing temperatures, very low visibility, and so much metal

and other unknown objects in tho water. a all it takes is one object to strike an individual, and all of a sudden, we have a first responder trying to recover another first responder. zero six hole zero we will know what we are dealing with to address the issues. s now an>> authorities have idsd have the family's been contacted?port i can't speak on that pier that is still in the investigative portion of this. >> reporter: inaudible [indistinct] >> all of that is unknown at this point. as i said, we have to seize operations. we can't start again the until e can ensure the safety of those

divers and personnel who participate in this. if we look at how challenging it is with a simple motor vehiclenl crash to strike an individual, i am sure we can all imagine how much harder it is to do it inwae clement weather when it is cold under the water with very limited to no visibility.nd r >> reporter: no remains haveyo been removed so far by search and rescueo,?e >> that is correct. >> colonel, you're confident confident no other vehicles on the bridge when it collapsed as it was collapsing, i should say? >> based upon the fact thetion original information was provided in the maryland transportation police department was able t thety to shut down t. is there a possibility there is another vehicle in there other than the other vehicles involved in the construction process? i think we all would have to understand, yes that is a distinct possibility. it is the mic as unfortunate acy it may become it is a distinct

possibility. bri however, we don't have d information to support that ate this point. >> reporter: [indistinct] >> we do not know at this point. i'm sure as you have seen the aerial photos, there is a tremendous amount of debris in the water. the containers hanging off of ships, we have to make sure those are shored up.ho we will work with structural engineers to help them understand how to navigate and address the challenges of having bridge structure and for the water that may be sharp thatre a could puncture a suit, that could puncture an airline. these are the things we must take our time with. >> reporter: this last question. >> i'm sorry? at this point, we do not know where they are. but we intend to give it our best effort to help these families with closure. >> reporter: the impact andpo

recovery efforts. >> very clearly itwe could, bute will do everything in our power to help these families find dclosure. >> reporter: how do we get their names, titles, spellings? >> folks, we will establishn unified command and a information center.he v i know there are a lot of wil questions, and we will provide that information where we will continue to provide updates. that is th.e extent of our updates tonight. thank you all for coming. thank you.ry j >> laura: we return to former atransportation secretary, jim burnley and acting director of dhs, chad will appear at just the description of the dangers to those first responders in the water. we see thebrid bridge but we fo what iwas under the bridge and under the water. that is just terrifying and it makes you respect and love thess individuals and honor them along with those who lost their lives even more so when you really think about it.

>> yes, it does. and obviously they are it extraordinar y people that go into the water knowing unknown dangers and real dangerous and a lot of them when you've had a catastrophe like this. we are blessed to have such people among us. amo >> laura: chadwick moore the loss of this port for whatever amount of time is lost is being partibed as devastating a of the u.s. economy. how critical is it for us to be to redirect traffic and that is complicated in a situation like this given the economic toll of this disaster?? >> i think you have to puthe things at play, not just thean port but the bridge and the thorough fare and that artery a that is connectinglo i-95 andha elements along the easternsecu seaboard. but weis n talk about economic security, economic security is security at thl ase end of the .

because as powerful as we are as a country and as a nation, it is because of our economy and how it is part, number one across the world.like and that provides national security for us.impa when we have a port like this that will impact not only suppl, chains and logistics and thingsg of thaoit nature, but also it w. have a significant impact for the city of baltimor some has ag wealth. i think that is something we will need to take ta look at and see how quickly to get the port up and running and get the arteries up and running becausen i think this is going to be a significant loss not only from n transportation perspective, but again, supply chain perspective as well. >> laura: jim, given the impact on the population ofat baltimore, the board ofwh baltimore, the employees at that port. this is, again, why president reagan understood peace comes through strength.c t any minute economic strength. so being $34 trillion in debt

and both parties are responsible year, we need money for a rainy day.is but we have to go further in debt to pay for this.viou >> that will happen, obviously, there are federal funds sets aside for emergencies, butwi nobody can put a number whatts c this will ultimately cost. the economic cost from two different dimensions of it.obvi one, chad mentioned support operations are obviously going to be shut down until the bridgl debris can be cleared away. at the other impact is that we have now caught a very substantial problem with interstate 95, which is we all know is a critical artery up and down the entire u.s. east coast. and we now have lost a key part of that. particularly in a truck carrying t have ay mi does no good alternative at this point pure those trucks will have to

go many miles out of the way because they cannot go through e alternative for automobiles and the baltimore area. >> laura: i haven't even thought about that pure jim, great to see you.ht. chad, thank you for joining uscm tonight. sean diddy combs claims he is the victim after feds carried out sick stomach sex trafficking rates at his residence, next. ♪ ♪ dance is my safe space. i am autistic and i am a performer. and i'm really good at it. once we're in our own space and we get to create that space, it's really fun. i am here because i have seen women do it. if you can see her, you can be her. we love being outside, but the sun makes our deck and patio too hot to enjoy. now thanks to our new sunsetter retractable awning, we can select full sun or instant shade in just 60 seconds.

other countries, traffic, or people who are american citizens or being traffic outside of the country. without apply both ways to have dhas involved, mark schmidt >> there is that in a number ofhave other scenarios that we just don't know. i've seen many cases in myer tin career that involve numerous different ang tod some of them d of reaching to charge sex trafficking. it is a wide net.k >> laura: mark, a lot of people don't realize tht tripk the mic sex trafficking onlyywoo happens at the border or hollywood scenarios like this, r but this has reached every socioeconomic part. of thedesp united states. but iscrib widespread and some describe it as an epidemic. i don't think that is inaccurate. >> i agree with you. i'm seeing more cases in the criminal justice arena because crimes become more targeted byit law enforcement. they have limited resources. they have to turn theirraff attention to something. just say no and targeting drug

traffickers during certaindrug decades but now fortunately they go after drug traffickers. with that comes celebrities that gesot caught up in the net. >> laura: mark, thank you so much. nt, yoto this point, you know, . think of the southern border and all of these people pouring in. we see these images from diddy'i home. this is something increasingly creeping into othento r parts of society. why is this? are o the perpetrators are of allinin backgrounds, economic backgrounds, joining me thepe investor of operation underground railroad aopsle h antisex trafficking organization. maps, people hear this term sex trafficking a lot of people don't understand it.of the kind of know what it is, bue it is more than someone beingh. kidnapped and taken away.yo tell us. >> laura, you are absolutely right. some people may think of this ah ospretty woman were taken.. it is nowhere on those extremes but in the middle.f

it happens every corner of the world in every corner of thed gi country every day. it is the exploitation of womens girls, boys, men. homeland security, hsi is at the forefront inviting the crime.e we in our rescue have been ables to support them overseas and to a lesser extent, the united states. that is what the viewers need to know regardless of what happense in mr. combss, case, this happee with average joe, this happens with celebrities, why? a lot of ways addiction and ovet objectification of the culture and over sexualization of the culture and needs to be treatedt what it is, trafficking notlunt prosecution, these are victims and no ot volunteers. >> laura: how much does social media and of course the dark web facilitate this in your people to these images comed again objectified women, men, boys, and girls?raph there is an enormous amount of sickness and the world and encouraged even by many people

in our culture, but how much does this affect the entire sick arena? >> some of the most sophisticated are on the dark web butlet' let's not kidp, ourselves, these are everyday social media apps, facebook, instagram, snapchat, gaming platforms. thene predators go where the children are, where the vulnerable youth are and this ie rewhat happens. this igos where they go to. what does law enforcement need? training, tools, technology toag go sniff out these crimes. so some of the footage that you played and mark is absolutely right, hsi will be focused on th e digital media in this case, cell phones, laptops, hard drives. there are dogs out there, canine dogs to my rescue supports thesf other groups as well. would not be surprised if dogs are on the scene trying to sniff out digital media that the huma. eye overlooked., th >> laura: matt, this is whys these new regulations and laws lih in states like utah and floa access tohe

social media by younger americans, preteens, young teens. what about that? fir first the first amendmentorts advocates should be like anything goes, but what t about those efforts?hene as a daughter to two college-ag, daughters commit some respect, they are through the dangefer ze of high school middle school.id i fear for grandparents, you have kids at vulnerable agents and is a those laws, we support those laws. parents need to know what theiri kids are looking at ons. social media. the parents, they are not your friends. parents should be in there knowing and have open conversations with your kids. kids, if something didn't make someone is asking you to do something, exporting you onlinel law enforcement. but these traffickers want is to get compromising imageu s of you on media and then you don't say anything and then you are inve t their groups and grasp. >> laura: oh, my goodness, i have three teenagers and this is absolutely terrifying, matt. thank you very much.at just how great is biden's
