crt is based on the premise that america started in 1619, that s not true. it started in 1776. so right from the beginning, this notion is wrong. honest history, yeah. parents are also saying, let s teach math, while this is going on. let me tell you, the chinese are not teaching critical race theory and talking about uighurs, they are teaching math and they are number one in the world. we are 26th in the world. it s not just the damage that the studs by itself, it s what it does in terms of neglecting other subjects and other important matters. dana: indeed. bill bennett, always good to see you. have a good weekend and thanks for being thank you. trace: a hero police officer arresting to the rescue saving a 6-year-old girl after she was kidnapped by a stranger in the car. police arresting the suspect shortly after the girls apparently grabbed while riding her bike. joining us now are officers of jason burbach and sergeant joe
from their home. she was glad we were there and willing to allow me to pick her up and take her away and she was more than glad to get her out of the car and we were glad to get her out of the car. dana: that s an interesting thing, we talk about stranger danger but she recognized u.s. officers that she could put her trust in. any reaction from the parents? yes, ma am, they were obviously very, very shaken up by it. everyone was scrambling around, neighbors and family, lots of people coming over trying to help look for this girl. of course they were afraid they were not going to find the child so they tried to get as many people there to help us look. but we have to credit the callers, the people who called 911 and gave great information, gave a vehicle description at a partial tag. the witnesses calling in and being willing to call in and try to get as much information as they could, we have to credit that because that is ultimately how we ended up finding it.
trace asked him at the end what could be done and he got it exactly right. declare the cartels foreign terrorist organizations is just like we did with al qaeda. this fentanyl is poisoning our children, killing our children. declare them that and then you don t have to wait for them to come to the united states to deal with them, you can deal with them there. governor abbott who was just mentioned has written president biden to suggest that man ask for that. others should, too. the increase is enormous and it will be consequential in the lives of our children who are going to die, a lot of kids will die because of this. dana: do you know why they haven t done that in terms of declaring them a terrorist organization? i ve never understood that. i don t know why they haven t done it, perhaps discussions of mexico but i think mexico would be very pleased to hear that. they may not say that but i think they would be very pleased to hear that. trace: like to move back to critical race
dana: the teaching of critical race theory in american schools has been meeting fierce resistance from parents all across the nation, but now approving plans for some states to use covid relief money to promote controversial programs based on far left curriculum. republican senator mike lee of utah as a member of the senate judiciary committee and i wanted to ask about this. when you helped pass that initial covid relief money and there has been more since then, did you ever think it will be used for something like this? heavens no. but it s tragic when this does happen and when it does happen we have to push back on it. the federal government should have very little role in the first place, on anything having to do with primary and secondary education. k-12 schools really are creatures of state and local governments, not the federal government. we certainly shouldn t be stepping in with critical race theory.
happened in afghanistan because of the role of u.s. troops. that is a comment, trace, that we have heard time and time again. especially looking at the very rapid and unannounced final withdrawal from the bagram air base by the u.s. troops. they wanted the u.s. troops to stay just a little bit longer. we ve been hearing that complaint and also complaints about the afghan military which the u.s. and nato allies spent so much time investing in training and they are not doing too well right now. it s a big mess, back to you, trace. trace: that s an understatement. dana: michael avenatti was crying in court yesterday as he was sentenced to 30 months in prison for something to extort nike. but three years earlier the celebrity anti-trump lawyer was the darling of the left-wing media. watch. we got lucky tonight, we are back with attorney with attorney
