State of massachusetts rejected their application over religious beliefs and now they are suing the commonwealth over it. Im john roberts, welcome to wednesday. Gillian nice to be here on a beautiful blue sky day. John what a picture. Gillian im Gillian Turner in for sandra smith. Kitty and mike burke say they were turned down because of adherence to catholic teachings, a letter says they would not be affirming to a child who identified as lgbtqia plus. Comes as they struggle to accommodate 1500 children in the foster care system. Chief religion correspondent lauren green has been looking into all of this and joins us from new york. The issue is, can a secular government prevent someone from participating fully in a community because of their religious beliefs. Now, the Supreme Court has actually ruled in favor of religion in a similar case about two years ago. But the burkes say this has been devastating for them, saying massachusetts would rather children sleep in the hallways of hospitals than let them welcome children in their home. In a complaint, they said they went through 30 hours of training and lengthy interviews and assessments of their home. According to burkes lawyer, one interviewer actually praised how they really seemed to understand adoption and foster care. According to the lawsuit, the couple was grilled on situations regarding a childs Gender Identity, and one section said when this writer challenged kitty and said gender affirming care for children does not require Gender Reassignment and is generally a reversible hormone blocker, she pushed back stating it is chemical castration. But mike said they love a child no matter what. One of the things of the catholic, we love as god has loved us. Hate the sin, not the sinner and i would love that child just like my mother loved me whenever i did something wrong. Massachusetts held Human Services and the department of families would only state that they do not comment on pending litigation. John. Lauren green in new york, thank you. Bill mcgurn is also taking up this case in his column in the Wall Street Journal where he questions if the push to cancel some views is leading to more intolerance. Headline is no catholics need adopt. He joins us to talk about all of this coming up in the next hour. Gillian. I believe my optimistic, positive message is rooted in iowa. Im concerned about my retirement and how the economy will be in the future. I come from agricultural state that iowa identifies with. I want to be able to help people, give fairs and whatnot and i need to pay my bills and its all harder and harder and harder. I think biden has done a good job but i think hes old. I also think trump is old, and grassley is old, i think age limits need to be addressed. Gillian candidates are trying to stand out among the crowd at the Iowa State Fair as fox News Releases the latest power rankings. Former President Donald Trump maintains a strong lead in both national and the state polls. Voters favored alternative as Florida Governor ron desantis despite some major recent campaign setbacks. We have fox team coverage, but begin with Alexis Mcadams on the ground in des moines. Alexis, senator scott is gaining more support as the days go on. Hey, gillian, thats right. We saw it here on the ground firsthand in iowa as he was working the crowds and connecting with voters. People were stopping him every two steps and trying to shake his hand and talk with him about his vision for america. So this afternoon senator scott in the top three in the power rankings. He says its because of his common sense conservative views and he believes america is ready for a new face. Listen. You think voters are ready to move on from donald trump . Im running for president , i believe they are. I think people are excited about an optimistic positive message and conservativism as long as you have a backbone. You dont have to be angry to win people over to the conservative proposition. But still this afternoon donald trump remains the clear frontrunner, followed by ron desantis in second place, and in most national polls, tim scott is a distant third but the only candidate to pull double digit support in more than one state, according to our fox poll. We know that Campaign Fundraising is key to winning this race. Trump wins supreme, polling in 54 million in just the first half of the year. And ron desantis has had a lot of money, coming from large individual donors, spent a lot of that money, too. Its a different story for tim scott, who has had more than 53,000 unique donors, people, gillian, giving like 200 bucks each. Hes spending that money on tv ads in iowa and new hampshire, and also here Vivek Ramaswamy, and mike pence as those in the conversation. Asa hutchinson, listed as an outsider, tells me hes going to qualify for the debate. Listen. What do you want people to know about you that could change your mind to vote for Asa Hutchinson . My record as governor, whenever you balance the budget, you lower taxes. You work hard to create the private sector. That record to me is important in understanding how to lead america. Iowa voters, gillian and john, are listening to the candidates messages in des moines. Everyone except Trump Reminds the voters its early in the race but not for long. We are going to hit thanksgiving, christmas and before you know it, the caucus time in iowa. Back to you. Gillian alexis in des moines, great to see you what looks to be a genuinely good time. John fly over to the white house right now, fema administrator is back on the mainland and shes talking about the devastating situation in maui, specifically lahaina, and what the federal government is doing to respond to it. Lets listen. In addition to them, 30 specialists from the Hhs Mortuary Teams are already in maui and will soon be joined by the mortuary specialists from the department of defense. These experts are going to be able to help identify loved ones. Now i want to be honest with everyone. This is also going to be a very long and hard recovery. But our federal, state and local partners are working around the clock to help all of those who have been impacted by this disaster. From the beginning of this event my regional administrator has been on the ground and has been leaning forward to support those in need. As he always does, President Biden directed me to move quickly and pushes many resources into the area so we could help people as soon as possible that were impacted. Since the news first broke about the fire, i have been in constant communication with President Biden to provide him realtime updates of the situation both while i was on the ground and to inform him and his team of the support that we are providing to the community. And i want everybody to know this. The president , fema and the entire federal family will be there to support the people of hawaii as long as we are needed. Now just a couple of operational updates for everyone. Today femas Associate Administrator for response and recovery and region 9 regional administrator are both on the ground. To date we have mobilized millions of liters of water and food, deployed more than 700 personnel to the disaster with more than 600 already on the island. We have given out 2. 3 million insistance to families. And we have approved over 1300 registrations for assistance. We launched our Transitional Sheltering Assistance Program and this will complement the states Fire Relief Housing Program for residents and we also authorized critical needs assistance to make sure that we are putting money in the hands of survivors. We also launched a joint task force to assist the state and ensuring the Housing Assistance that survivors are eligible for, whether its through femas programs or the state programs, that it will be seamless to the survivor and dont have to figure out who they are supposed to call for help. I also need all of your help. I need you to help us get the word out and encourage more people to apply for assistance. Please help us spread the word to residents of maui and encourage them to register for assistance with fema through either the staff on the ground, through our website at disasterassistance. Gov, or 8006213362. We also opened our first 18006213362. Or 800621fema. We also opened our first Disaster Recovery center. What these facilities are, Brick And Mortar locations that have federal, state and nonprofit partners that will all be colocated where people can registered for assistance and get additional support. And this is an important first step in their recovery process. We are also cognizant of the fact the fires have completely up ended peoples lives, and especially true for Young Children of hawaii unable to return to school in the area, similar to a young boy i talked about. As both a mother and grandmother myself, my heart breaks thinking of the tragedy they have gone through and the road ahead. Childrens Disaster Services has deployed two teams in partnership with the American Red Cross to provide care and reassuring presence in our shelters and im certain it will bring ease to the parents coping with the tragedy of the situation and devastating loss and want to provide stability to their families. In addition the red cross, in coordination with maui county, supports staff in five shelters where food, water, hygiene kits and other resources are provided to individuals. We are also coordinating these services so that anybody who leaves a shelter for a hotel or other place to stay will be eligible to receive the same level of services being offered at these shelters. Our partners at hud are also supporting the people of hawaii by providing a 90day moratorium on foreclosures of federal Housing Administration insured mortgages and home equity conversion mortgages. This also another very important step in their recovery process. And lastly, Debris Remostly is a critical aspect of this recovery. We have mission assigned epa and the Army Corps Of Engineers to start the process of Debris Collection and planning for removal. Also mindful and i stress to my team every day and every time i talk to them that we need to continue to ensure that we have a strong respect and awareness of the native hawaiian cultures and history during our response and recovery processes. I want the people of hawaii to hear it from me. Fema and the federal family are here to be with you and we will be with you every step of the way. So to close, to the people of hawaii i promise you this. We will do everything we can to continue to help you rebuild on the island and the island that you call home. Together with our state, federal and volunteer partners we will continue to provide support to hawaii for as long as necessary. But the people of hawaii, they deserve a recovery not only addresses their immediate needs but positions them as an example of resilience, strength and resolve. Thank you, and with that ill take any questions. John all right, there is the fema administrator with the latest update on the situation there as you see the devastation in lahaina in the western part of maui. And gillian, it is this recovery is going to be measured in years, if not decades because of the amount of devastation there, and for the families who lost loved one, its over 100 now, they will never recover. Gillian for some families no recovery, the others, the island government is estimating nearly 6 billion to rebuild the portion of the island thats been pretty much eviserated. And she met with a young boy and told her he had not a single possession left to his name, not an item of clothing, not a backpack, that experience is replicated in the thousands. John and complaints from the locals the government is not doing enough to help them but the process initially that is painstaking because they have to sift through all the rubble of the burned outbuildings to see if there were people trapped inside and if they do find remains they have to identify remains. This is going to be a long time before things even begin to recover, let alone semblance of normal. Back to politics, marc thiessen, former white house Speech Writer and fox news contributor. Thanks for hanging with us through the fema administrator, marc. I want to back to our power rankings, they clearly show that donald trump is the candidate to beat for the gop nomination. But maybe is not invulnerable. The degree of support the power rankings, the maga base is strong, 37 . Take a look at this. 37 of republicans who say you know, i might be persuaded to vote for somebody else, and then 25 of people say that they are completely nontrump. So, if you take the 27 and 35 and put it together, that is more than the maga base, its actually majority. Could another candidate potentially grab that persuadeable block and, you know, run the board against trump . Its entirely possible. I mean, what that poll shows is that more than six in ten republicans are open to or going to support somebody other than donald trump. Which means that trumps lead is wide, but its thin, and state by state in iowa, polling at 44 which means 56 of republicans want somebody else. In new hampshire, 42 , means 58 want somebody else. South carolina, 43 , 57 want somebody else. The question becomes can one candidate consolidate that support between the nontrump voters and persuadeable voters and break out and the first time youll have a chance to see somebody do that is the Fox News Debate next week. Thats really there are two primaries. Primaries to take on trump and then theres the primary the primary who is going to take on trump and the primary against trump. And somebody has to emerge from that pack or else trump wins. John if the president is not there to defend his policies it may give whoever is there a leg up. In order to take the front ronter you have to have the war chest to do it and nobody seems to be over trump. Fundraising, donald trump is way out ahead of ron desantis. And then Vivek Ramaswamy is right behind ron desantis as well. Look at the discrepancy. 30 million discrepancy. How do you make that up between now and january . The other difference between trump and other candidates, he has a lot more legal bills than he they do and hes spending a lot of that money on lawyers. But look, i think if somebody is going to win this they have to be actually targeting the voters who are available and thats something, one of the reasons why ron desantis has not taken off is that hes trying to outmaga trump and those hard maga voters, the 37 of not seperable. And you dont do it by hard maga. You make the case that donald trump cannot win the election. A. P. Poll, 64 of americans say they will not vote for trump next november. 53 of those are absolutely decided whatever, only 11 are probably. So, you got to make the case, you are the candidate who can really go out and defeat joe biden because we cant afford four more years of biden and probably president harris. You mentioned a moment ago a lot of people will vote for donald trump no matter what. The criminal cases against him might make a difference, New York Times siena poll. When asked whether trump has committed serious crimes, 17 of republicans yes, 71 said no. But in terms of other lanes, tim scott was at the Iowa State Fair yesterday doing a fairside chat with the governor, he believes if he keeps working on the grassroots voters in the state of iowa he might be able to enhance his fortunes and listen to this exchange that Vivek Ramaswamy had with a pansexual activist at the Iowa State Fair. I believe we live in a country where free adults should be free to dress how they want, behave how they want, thats fine. You dont become oppressive by hoisting that on others, and that includes kids. Kids are not the same as adults. And i respect you have a different opinion and you and i can be civil and have this conversation. John he was constricted by a lgbtq activist and it could have gone south but a very reasoned discussion with this person and you wonder if he can do that next wednesday in the debate, could he potentially have a breakout moment . Any one of them could. I think theres a hunger in this country for a return to civility, and a return to optimism and hopeful vision for america. And what you will see on the debate stage, Say Donald Trump does not show up, embarrassment of riches in the republican party. So much talent set to be on that debate stage, so many smart politicians people who have delivered for their states, accomplished things, who have a positive, hopeful vision that can attract not just the conservative base but win over persuadeable voters and swing voters and build a governing majority and Republican Voters will look at the stage and see The Embarrassment Of Riches and you have to ask themselves, why would i not choose from that . Why would i not choose from somebody who cannot only win me and win people who agree with me, but persuade people who might not agree with me on everything and win them over and say we can build a hopeful, positive, governing majority. John i think its going to be eye opening and informative session next wednesday, no question about that. Marc, great to get your take on things. Appreciate it. Thank you, john. John and what i said, one week from today the Top Republican candidates will face off in miami. Right here on fox news, moderated by bret baier and martha maccallum. Watch for that. Gillian and in september, fox business will host the second gop debate at reagan president ial library out in simivalley, california. John great venue to hold the debate in. Big spending joe biden, you hear ads, in two years i reduced the debt 1. 7 billion. Im the first one to cut the federal debt by 1,700,000,000,000. Its terrible. I mean, we go to work, come home, thats all i can do. If i had to start right now, my career, i would be in a terrible shape. Im like my kids, we stay home more, cook home more. Gillian the Inflation Reduction Act turns one year old. President biden is prepping at that take a victory lap next hour. Some americans have yet to see progress to the working and middle classes. Art laffer is a former writer, and author of taxes have consequences. Art, from one of President Bidens staunchest allies, chris murphy of connecticut, said unemployment is low or lower, inflation is now headed in the right direction, but that is not enough. He said the fundamental problem with the economy is that its grinding millions of americans down because they work fulltime yet still cant afford to make ends meet. What do you think about that . Well, the first two points are not quite correct, gillian. Yes, Unemployment Rates are very, very low, but so are participation rates. Number of people in the Labor Force Working is very low, and thats a real, real longterm problem, and thats been a problem for quite some time under this administration. When he talks about inflation coming down, that is true, too. But its people dont buy things with inflation, they buy things with prices and prices during the Biden Administration have gone up about 16, 16 plus percent, and they are not going down. Inflation is going down but that means prices are rising at a slower rate. Its a very, very serious problem and now if you look at real wages and peoples incomes, look at their borrowing, its very clear that real income, peoples Purchasing Power has not been increasing. So you have a very serious problem in the economy right now, and its been there for a long time. We had a little reprieve under trump but not much. We have had a very serious decline in the u. S. Economy, and its continuing substantially under biden as well. Gillian take a look at this, art. This is call for number three over the last two years of the president s tenure, we have seen Consumer Prices up 15. 9 , gas 61. 9, homes, 11. 3, real wages down 2. 6 . All adding up to what you just laid out. Yeah, just what i laid out, and he did make a mistake, a verbal mistake by saying the debt reduced by 1. 7 trillion, thats not true, he meant to say the deficit. Deficit is not an accurate picture, we had the huge deficit postpandemic and then it came down from that. But still a huge, huge deficit and spending is way out of control, gillian, its a tragedy, it does not need to be. Gillian one of the problems folks are talking about, more in the media new, because of hoaring Housing Prices a whole generation now of young people leaving college or trade school or graduating from high school, people are going to have to wait a longer time now in order to purchase their first home, potentially even decades longer. Yeah, i might have to put had my glasses down like this and look at you, john roberts, you young people there. Always picking on us oldies. Just joking with you. It is difficult for young people to make unthis world. Housing price increases in real terms is not bad. You dont want to live in the Housing Prices are really low, its a disastrous place. So when you look at the wealth of america, Housing Prices rising is good. Young people do have a good time, not all of them are working. Education process has been destroyed because of not only the pandemic but because of really bad schools across the country. We need school choice, we need a lot better economy, gillian, and theres no sign of it coming. Bidens raising taxes, spending more money than we take in and regulating the economy much more. We have become energy dependent, all of those are working in the wrong direction. We need a change, gillian, a big change in this country. Gillian President Biden does not think so, art. We are going to hear from him next hour, touting the accomplishments the ira has had. Im three years older than he is, he ought to be respectful of those like me. Gillian well remind viewers when the time comes. Say hello to john for me. John art doesnt look it, thats for sure. Parents in new jersey are waiting for a Court Decision whether they have the right to know whether their children want to change their identify at school. The Vice President of middletown new Jersey School board joins us coming up next. Plus this. I think we are all a little bit blind sided by it but we are resilient and we are going to move forward.

With golo and release, youre gonna lose the weight. Gillian we are awaiting a ruling from a new jersey judge in a case that could impact parents, teachers and students all across the country. Three School Districts were sued by the state after issuing new policies requiring schools to notify parents should their kids seek to change their Gender Identity. Jacqueline tobacco, but first, nate foy. The judge said we can expect a ruling shortly but did not elaborate what that means. So we are monitoring it. Parents anxiously awaiting that ruling. They are also concerned about a regulation passed two weeks ago, new jersey students will take Sex Education courses based on their Gender Identity. The president of the state board of education voted against it but lost the vote. Poor young girls, its a sensitive topic enough, but they sit there and talk in front of a boy about the sensitive things . Its it doesnt seem right and not fair to the trans expressing child, they dont have the organs talked about in that class. It makes no sense at all to me. Part of why we saw 100 parents at yesterdays hearing, parents tell me they elect School Board Members to represent their values. The state contends guidelines are misunderstood. A statement from the new Jersey Attorney Generals Office reads in part, to be clear, the state has never sought and never will seek a ban on parental notification. What the state wont do is require it even for children as young as five years old. Take a look at this moment from yesterdays hearing as the judge pressed the state Deputy Attorney general on that. I dont think that type of issue is going to come up as much with a 5yearold. What if it does . Well if it does, i think we have i think the guidelines that exist at the time will cover that. So there you have it. The state contends in grades as young as kindergarten requiring teachers to notify parents if the childs Gender Identify would violate the antidiscrimination law. Back to you. Gillian nate foy, thank you. John bring in jacqueline tobacco, the Vice President of the middletown new Jersey School board. Jackie, good to have you with us, appreciate hearing your side of the argument here and wondering, what was it like in court to be arguing that side, the judge, david bauman, was asking tough questions of both sides here in this debate. He was. Thank you for having me on and caring about the issue that we are embroiled in. Judge bauman was great, he was really digging in, came out hot against the state at first. It was Nerve Wracking to be there, you know, knowing that i couldnt respond or say anything, but our attorneys did a great job representing us. I kind of felt the state was back pedalling so that was concerning as well. You have a chance to articulate your views right now, and one of the questions i had yesterday, did the School Board In Middletown and two other counties in new jersey take this action to require parental notification of a switch in Gender Identity at the request of parents who were concerned about it or did you just look at the way the laws were going in the garden state and say you know what, that doesnt work for this school board. Yeah, so this this discussion among our Policy Committee, i am the chair of, started over a year ago. We have become aware of some practices that were happening in school that were based on these guidelines and on the existing policy that had been in effect since 2019. And we had heard some, you know, anecdotal stories about kids who changed their gender, their name officially, and then they had put teachers in the position or our administration having to change test scores and so we were actually actively deceiving parents and our policy Committee Questioned the policy then and wonder how much of this was a law and how much was guidelines from the state and how much of this was putting us in liability. John so what was the reaction from parents when you said we dont think its right for parents not to be notified. We are going to draft bylaws in the School District to say if a child comes forward to an official at the school and says i want to be known by a different Gender Pronoun or use a different bathroom that parents need to be notified. What was the parents reaction to that . The majority of the parents for sure in middletown supported this position. Ar we are just coming off of covid and lockdowns and parents were not necessarily aware this was even a policy in existence. So i think we kind of illuminated a lot of factors what was going on in the state for parents. We have heard from parents who are also against it, and we had a very, very contentious board of ed meeting. Many activists showed up, not necessarily from our town but other places in the state. Very contentious. People are concerned this policy will somehow harm trans children and i think speaking for myself and our Policy Committee we were all more concerned that there could be negative tragic outcome and a parent would have never been alerted that there might have been a crisis with their child or need, their child needed Mental Health help. John the first point you made, what the Attorney General of new jersey said in regard to the safety issue. Said outing transgender, Gender Nonconforming and gender nonbinary students against their will, increased risk of student and shirks the districts duty to create a safe and supportive Learning Environment for all. Its interesting, my wife and i and kids were in san diego a week ago, we had this discussion with a person who is a former teacher in san diego county. And the point that they were making is that ok, its fine, you know, if a parent is welcoming of a switch in Gender Identity, fine to know. What about the parent not ok with it, and the school calls up and said your child wants to be identified by a different gender, that child might be at risk for parental violence. The Attorney General cited statistics that one in ten transgender children are subject to physical violence by their parents. What do you say to that side of the argument . You know, i think we try to get into the ideology conversation too much. We definitely discuss and feel that first of all, those studies are not necessarily our attorney had dug into those studies and found they were not necessarily 100 accurate in their statistics. We also have heard that the best way to prevent teen suicide is through parental involvement. So our question was, you know, at what point do we become the guardians over children. These are parents responsibility to raise their children and every other situation in a School District we inform the parents of everything from a child had a stomach ache and had to visit the nurse and sign a form for what movie you are watching. John are there provisions here and one of the counties has, for an assessment to be done to find out thats in the policy, correct. John whether the child might be at risk if the parent were to be notified. Correct. I think we need to leave our duties up to the our staff. Welltrained counselors in our buildings. They know the children better than anyone, better than anyone in the government and i think that you know, if theres a parental issue or Domestic Violence issue its even bigger than anyone should be handling. That should be handled by an outside Counseling Services or clinicians and i think we need to let our district handle that. We have caveats built into the policy, documented history or student expresses a fear of harm there is no parental notification. John all right. Well keep on watching this story. Certainly this issue is a fascinating one and its a big one across the country as well. Jacqueline tobacco, good to have you on today, and well see which way the judge goes on this. Appreciate it. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Gillian new york city officials are asking for help supporting schools that are Serving Thousands of Child Migrants and asylum seekers. Listen.

John Migrant Crisis already a major problem for new york city and now with the new school year about to begin the city and the state are scrambling to find a solution to handle all of the Migrant Children who are suddenly entering the system. Eric is live at the Roosevelt Hotel in midtown manhattan. Are the schools ready for this, eric . Yeah, john, thats a really good question. Some of the Young Students are here at the Roosevelt Hotel where migrants are staying here in the heart of new york city. As districts around the state are preparing for the expected migrant student surge. Right now the new York City Public School system has enrolled roughly 18,000 Migrant Children in classrooms, many do not speak english, that means more staffing and has officials worried about a potential crushing financial burden. The nonpartisan think tank Empire Center for public policy, estimates the cost per student is about 32,000 per year meaning new york city will have to pony up more than half A Billion Dollars to educate the migrant students. New york state republican senator fears many districts around the state are just not ready. That is going to seriously exacerbate the cost to taxpayers and the ability for schools to provide the education they deserve according to our constitution. One suburban and rural district three hours north of new york city above albany, mohanson has basically 3,000 students, 70 in classrooms in the School District this fall, bussed to local motels. The superintendent has told us they have hired new teaching assisstants, those who can teach english as a second language, and reassuring parents who are concerned about class size, immunizations and the effect the migrant students will have on their kids.

Well, i was grateful for, you know, my company the company i worked for gave me that and i was happy for it, i used the cup i had in that bag almost every day and i probably gave away some of the life savers and things like that. I think i might have ate a few of the life savers. A lot of people worked with me longer than that, 30 years, they didnt get anything. So i was happy with it, and it i was grateful for it. Grateful for the little things, still grateful for it. Gillian its pretty obvious to all of us watching and hearing from you you have this extraordinary work ethic. Where does it come from .
