president biden's meeting with one of his b son's business associates. of course, biden went on to dene this, but then we learn tony blinken helped orchestrate this information campaign by former intel officials who all insisted that the laptop was fakel . it was all lies! the press, the democrats chose to ignore the obvious.e so the evidence pointed touenc inescapable conclusion that theo bidens selling influence and had been, by the way, for years. and did anyone remember james comey's investigation? hes found shell companies to hide shady form payments and also found joe biden lied repeatedlyh about his involvement in these schemes that only enriched the biden pro as to the tens of millions of dollars. but again the press, democrats, white house enablers, they dido nonot care. and yet, we are supposed to be

shocked, i tell you, shocked, they were all lying about bidenb inoo the white house all along? >> the the book makes it very, y clear, there were people whoains knew and said nothing. that is a crime against thispa republicrt, and i think the democrats will pay for a long time for being a part of what is now being revealed to be aco massive cover-up. >> laura: no, no, no, but is not now being revealed. it was revealed at least five years ago right here on "the angle." biden and company were so used i two getting away with wine, eve numbers, by the way this is my favorite, that became second nature. eventually they were called out on the number lies things like inflation, but they kept repeating the lies. cbut now, the bidens have nowhe to turn and no cover because they are no longer useful to the powers that be. but i will say this tonight,he

let's not pretend they are was any real awakening among the liberals or th thee anchors at e other networks. because if thethy had a chance o do it all again but the same chance of beating trump and holding onto power, they would do it, i have no doubt. let's not forget what they did. thgee border cover-up. speak of the message is quite clear, do not come. the border is closed, the border is secure. >> laura: after 13 americansp. died at abbey gate, the afghanistan withdrawal cover-up. >> it was the largest air lift conducted in u.s in . history. and it was executed in 17 days. was it perfect? of course not. : the following year,blam and army investigation pointfa senior biden white house officials for failing to grasp the taliban steady advance on the capital before the evacuation, which put our troops in greater danger.

we can look at they didn't demand accountabilit they becaue they are greater cowas pulling joe over thet le finish line loh enoughey to send trump into the wilderness. so, they have all destroyed credibility, all of them. yet, they keep the play acting going.of t >> shout out to the biden family, joe biden, dr. jill biden and all going ton this, i recently have gone through the tragic situation ino ulmy family life and people were focusing on the negative and i would tell them to go [bleep] off! mind your own business. get some business have your own. >> laura: eloquent as usual, sour lemon consider acting lessons to some of these people. they need to work on their delivery. they are not even convincing themselves at this pointter,. again, remember, when it mattered, they didn't care. instead it was a get trump

mentality 24/7. hold onto power any means necessary. defeat trump, indict trump, slander trump, de payment trump, j.lo trump and they didn't careo that the friends he almost killed trump. in heart of hearts, these people so twisted up with rage towards america and those who voted for president trump that they would do i.t all again. t the following people at least the short list need to be brought to testify on capitol hill about all of this. biden's chief of staff, ron klain, jeff zients, deputy chief of staff, jake sullivan, antony blinken jen psaki, karine jean-pierre, oh, yeah, q and his doctor, kevin o'connor. the american people deserve answers and we will keep demanding them as we a did five

years ago. and that is "the angle." here with unique perspective is michael lareau setant this serd as special assistant to president biden was the press secretary for first lady jill biden and also with me journalist, michael, let's start with you. n you ran the white house. did any journalist, especially the ones we are hearing a lotou ndfrom now when around on a podcast trying to pop they areas booked, did they ever ask youis abouibt biden's apparent end to most thi people decline? >> i think so. the one alex thompson, to be fair, "the wall street journal," but that was probably peter baker as well. buand t that was probably about. i think alex thompson's reporting is quite public. you know, obvious now.pari

look, he faced some as she was a pariah at the biden white houseo for sure because he was writing and reporting on very uncomfortable things for thes white house.mi >> laura: what year was that, michael? whe it wasn't in 2020. it definitely wasn't when wes in were talking about it. rem we were on this 2019, 2019 through 2020 where pan to and into the basement for biden. so he kind of got a reprieve. but are you talking about 2023? when was that?g th >> 112022. he was probably the only one really doing the public reporting that was upsetting them but i would say when he got to axios which after i left, ans he put his foot on the gas in terms of the reporting, public reporting that you are talking about. look, the reporters will tell you, they were bullied, shamed,

went after them aggressively the white house press staff did. that is not making an excuse, but i'm just telling you what a the culture was like. >> laura: who cares? i'm sorry, but that is the whole purpose of being depressed. you are supposed to be you pushd back on and pushing for the truth. so with alinl due respect to the reporters who are now writingg books, they could have used anyp number of platforms to raise ath isred flag about this. or am ethii missing something h. because i was covering this for years. w there is like to go with us covering this.r >> when it comes to president trump, they have no problem being unpopular with the white house. e totally right, laura,t the mediwea is the real scandals of course the people in biden hi biden's orbit wames trying to protect him and that makesty sense. why was the media carrying water for the democratic party? the answer is because they were definitely afraid donald trumpcs

would win not because a threat to democracy as saying that his policies represent a threat toof the elites. the media in america are part of the elites so they are interested in economic interest aligned with the rich. that is why they carry water for the democrats. esit is soiden simple. donald trump was the first president in his first term to shrink income inequality in the country in 60 years. said the media thought him toott and nail.he i'm so glad you're pointing it out the media is the original sin here. it is not accountability when you speak truth to power to somebody who has no power anymore and cancer-ridden old and i can't hurt you anymore. when they had access, they carried water for him. not that he has no power, they are lining up to kick him and it is disgusting! >> laura: michael, the point is again, they have no problem

getting enormous pushback from trump. they kept staying with the dossier, denying hunter biden laptop and denying the border was open, denying crime among illegals, denying crime was raging, none of that! but we are after trump. so all of that got a pass and the condition of biden all the way through the policy. the cancer, when it started, to me but if that is secondary, michael. >> i'm not going to defend sort of the president's lack of curiosity such as it was.me i'm not going to defend thede liberal media as you would describe it. i'm sure most people the liberal in the media, however, you are giving way too much credit as a theological. at msnbc coaches trump is the best thing that happened to then media. he is incredibly important tor

the bottomwe line. he has better copy then biden's hyper aware. >> laura: do you think they want him to stay in power? michael, you know i adore you,he but do you think the media was secretly trying to help trump by ming soft on biden question like that makes zero sense to me.i >> you are missing the point here and i'm not explaining as i showed, but trump loves the media. he loves going back-and-forth with the media but the biden white hous e hated it. they did not like interacting with the medias th. as donald trump does and the press loves that as much as trump edoes. but the biden white house, they did not give accesi s the way trump does. >> laura: i understand that but back ty poo my point, theres a concerted effort, circle aftei circle after circle of protection around biden. it wasn't just jail, kirby,ecre

jake sullivan, the ofpress secretary, or claim, the was a lot of people involved here. this cannot be swept under the rug. hi think there has to be hill hearings on this because it goes from cognitive decline all the way to the substantive and deadly disaster for america. >> right. the pointf president trumthp made today, okay, who was actually pushing all of this policy, right? michael, you are acting because the media made a bigger deal after fake pate over 11 million illegaallyl migrants invading te country, therefore, that was actually a bigger deal. it wasn't. the mainstream media is totally in the bag for the democratic party because that i where they are interest lies. we cannot accept their rules foc things.e they turn everything aboutde trp into a scandal and protect everything democrats do.at

finally, the people suddenly's e enough of it. thisst is when t it broke. the american people saw with their own eyes the media work so hard to keep from them. >> laura: michael, who was running the country? it was really making the big calls? it was not biden. who was? >> you are not going to like the answer but it was biden. now, is there a difference being able to run for president and the country? den yeah, there is. but biden was running the country absolutely. but there was, look, there was a esvery overzealous, rigid premim paid to protecting the privacyhe of the bidens at all cost. the moment i got there at 2018 until the end of 2022, that ispy what it was. it is hard say for all of us to. doctor and said he had this or that. what you can say, there was a deep overzealousness to protect

privacy and they paid reputational and political cost for it. >> laura: we've goint to go. look, i think if you have to protect the privacy of the president and keep it behind closed doors and walked away, he is probably not making the calls. that is the point, if you're making the calls you are answering the call. trump answered questions at the white house and perfectlany comfortable to give remarks and answer questions. >> i said to you before he's historically accessible. >> laura: he is confident in not committing fraud on the american public. batp michael, thank you very much. michael, thank you very much. i.c.e.?ric swalwell threaten see what he said next. this is the home of galina.

first learned about this. what new can you tell us questioning. >> first thing, ti want to go back before them because it was an interview i did with you thee end of july that really kicked off why i placed on this list in the first place. i was talking to you about how jill biden had just stepped down and kamala harris was going to be the democratic nominee and io was warning the american people how dangerous she would be for our country's security and theoe safety security and freedom ofs american people if she were to be commander-in-chief.h my at the very next daysban in romi got on the plane with my husbane to fly back to the united states after conducting meetings and the vatican with other americans that i was placed on the secrett domestic terror watch list called quiet skies. what senator paul is talking i about here, documents confirm two things, one, what i experience and whistle-blowers came forward and exposed early on in august is absolutely true veiland goes into detail what tt

surveillance consisted of. f senator paul mentioned they had to report back to these federal air marshals who were surveilling me about my appearance, about what kind ofi electronic devices i had in my possession.il did i have any interactions with unknown individuals whilbue t traveling? the list goes on and .n but the second thing these documents confirm is, once again, it was absolutely politically motivated. anothed i know this because thee other americanhes who attended e same meetings at the vatican,de not a single one of them to include former administrationth officials, not a single one put on the quiet skies list. the only difference was they were not on that show a day before traveling back to the united states or any show for that matter publicly criticizing then vice president kamala harris. >> laura: so they werene trying to put the cone of protection

around her probably knowing she was going to falter goingp forward to.i me this was a way to kind of make you step back from that? they were trying to intimidate you? t >> i think they were trying to i intimidate me but also they wer' trying to create this chillingtt effect probably knowing i would not stay silent about it and send a message out to people if you gois criticize then vice president kamala harris who is now going to be the c democratic nominee for president, you, too, will face the consequences. i' m not the only person, by the way under this quiet skies surveillance program targeted fomr political reasons. they were many people who getshn one event the way for federal air marshal who happen to be in washington, d.c., january 6thie nowhere near the capital. she was on the quiet skies list for over two years and a surveilled even when traveling. with her federal air marshal has been.

theyn th were countless examplee scould go through once again tt show very clearly the biden administration's weaponization and politicization of the government against everyday amer most fundamentalcons constitutil rights and civil liberties. >> laura: starting with 2016 trump campaign and a part of that tha all the way through the product hunter biden and the laptop in the fraud of the border and the fraud of every other policy, afghanistan.skie the issue of open skies or quiet skies list, is there a reason that list should exist at all at this point question migh t no. this program has been going on for merely two decades. und they have not coach at this quiet skies program and tsa under the department of homeland security hasecut tasked to fedes air marshals to execute not a single terrorist has been caugh.

not a single one for as long as this programco has existed. so instead, what has continued to happen so long as is program continues every single day 40 oi 50 air marshals are tasked with surveillinnog everyday americans for no purpose. these arbitrary reasons put forward a.t the funny thing was when senator started asking questions thabout my case in particular, e tsa started changing their story making things up why they were justified in putting on this list. once again, affirming the politicization of the federal government against the american people. >> laura: well, this has to be zeroed outrect never to be seen again. madame director coach a it. thank you for giving us the latest on this. h be appreciated.l yo coming up, elon musk makes a big announcement about his future. we will tell you what it is n next.

separate ways for the cops would have caught vamp. somewhere, some way, somebody ie hiding the majority of them, okay? h they are not all squatting at homes like they caught the guy today. it is terrible, terrible. >> laura: dog, thank you very much. this is absolutely disturbing and fascinating story. we appreciate it. that is it for tonight and follow me on social media where i reveal what happened to, you see my hand? what happened between last >> carley: house republicans working as we speak to pass the president's big, beautiful bill with pushback from those on the left. >> what the hell are you so scared of you are holding this hearing at 1:00 in the morning? >> cannot complain about reporting legislation in dark of night when only reason it went so late was because of their own actions.
