Benjamin the largest Teachers Union in the country now vowing to support a critical Race Theory Curriculum And plans to actively promote it. More than half of all Public School Teachers are part of this association for this has concerned parents across the country opposed to crt in schools And more than 20 republican led states have passed or proposed a ban on teaching it. Team coverage in just a moment, we will talk with fox Friends Weekend Cohost will cain but more from washington. There is a battle going on between School Districts And parents across the country And so thats why the nea has rolled out this very public blueprint. More than 25 states have either introduced bills are taken steps to restrict the controversial curriculum which essentially says that racism is a part of everyday life And is embedded in the legal system. Here is part of their new guidance, to publicly including truthful And ageappropriate accountings of unpleasant aspects of american history. Such as slavery And the oppression And discrimination of indigenous, black, brown, And other peoples of color. Parents around the nation are fighting back And some lawmakers are calling out the national Education Association as misguided. The nea only cares about The Union, they dont even care too much about the teachers And anything that empowers The Union is what they are focused on. Piers need to be focused on what their kids are learning. Critical Race Theory is designed for rest And not like Each Other And be divisive so we must fight back And that affects everyone. Now School Board recalls are going. In 2009, there were only 54 And now 5,000 educators have signed a Andnew-petition'>BrAndnew Petition vowing to break anticritical Race Theory laws And consideration in several states. So far, nine states have actually passed laws banning the curriculum that new petition is stopping that number before it gets to ten. Benjamin thank you very much. SAndra fox Friends Weekend Cohost will cain joins us more on all of this. You will have to make sense of this. Where the priorities for these Teachers Unions. Is that the kids or is it their agenda because you just heard from byron donalds, africanamerican lawmaker speaking out against the saying of the divisive critical Race Theory spits on the civil Rights Movement. Are they listening . Are they listening . They dont believe they are spitting on the civil Rights Movement. Somehow, they have warped And twisted their worldview into believing that antiracism which is honestly racism And disguises the new civil Rights Movement. Whether or not they are useful idiots or soldiers in the march to divide america, quite honestly Han Marxist lines, it doesnt really matter because this poison has infiltrated every aspect of our Education System on this document reveals just how far its gone so we can put to rest, stop attending, cannot listen anymore to the argument that critical Race Theory is not being taught in k12. Here you have the nations largest Teachers Union saying yes, we intend to teach this to your children. The only real question is who will be in charge of our kids . Will it be parents or will it be bureaucrats And Teachers Unions who impart this Marxist Ideology to our children . SAndra also calling into question the priority of these teachers. Tom cottons is opening his goals, low priority, pushing critical Race Theory on kids, top priority. It in america where everyone is judged based on the color of their skin, not the content of their character which as i recall correctly is the opposite of the teachings of dr. King And decades of civil rights progress. Youve got parents speaking up out against this, republican lawmakers, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy is one of those, in his own words. Critical Race Theory teaches that america is totally screwed. We need to just tear it down And start over. Critical Race Theory also teaches that white children are born bad. It teaches that black children are born trapped. Theres almost no hope for them, its a very fatalistic point of view. SAndra so thats his And-weve'>Take And Weve heard from many republican lawmakers on this issue for quite some time now, parents speaking out in large numbers as well but when it comes to who decides what our children are learning in americas schools, will the Teachers Unions get their way on this issue . We see parents pushing back everywhere, we see parents pushing back at School Board meetings across the country And then we see State Laws pushing back as well saying you wont teach this And that the political process And the answer to the question, who gets to define what our children are taught . I do believe that parents enter the political process citizens should get to decide what our children are taught, not Teachers Unions that are ideologues And bureaucrats driving And-ideology'>Home And Ideology And i want to say this, critical Race Theory as a brAnd that i do not like. Yes, it is an inherently racist ideology but also limited in scope. You look at this document, it says we will emphasize viewing america through the prism of race, patriarchy, capitalism, every which way. It is organizing society along divisive lines And it doesnt care whether its Race Or Gender or any other divisional line, the point is to divide us into oppressor And oppressed within End Result has John Kennedy mention there of tearing down the entire american project. We are to coexist as a nation going forward, this cannot survive. Critical Race Theory And its other offshoots cannot survive because it will absolutely tear us down. Thats the stated goal of it. SAndra spitting on the civil Rights Movement the way he sees it, he says these Race Hustlers And Media Charlatans Foment Division by dismissing progress And rewriting history And as i kept teasing that you were coming up saying the fox And we can help my cohost will cain is here, youre also a dad And parents see whats happening right now And we all are looking over the shoulder of our kids doing covid more so than ever seen whats happening in our schools. To eventually expect the movement on behalf of parents to make sure that this does not happen in the classroom, do you expect that to grow And get bigger . Final thoughts. Asked. Parents are the frontline warriors in this battle because they have a stake in the game. You will not teach my child to be a racist. He will not teach my child to see the world through a prism of race, you will not. Its a line in the sAnd. This is The Hill that we die on. This will not happen And i think parents will be the ones to ensure that is the case. SAndra we appreciate you coming on, thank you. Also a dad, Benjamin Hall. You are over the pond, you see this happening in america, what do people think as this has been getting a lot of headlines for quite some time . It has indeed And it comes down to one simple thing. There is a simple few things in school, its reading, riding, literacy. Things that will help you advance in life rather than And-selfdoubt'>Division And Selfdoubt so from this side of the pond, its baffling that these things are part of the curriculum And backed by The Union And as will said, perhaps parents have to lead the way. SAndra to your point about priorities, parents see this happening And if youre they are losing control over what our kids are learning in those classroom walls, so important, this would be a big story for quite some time, thank you. To my growing concerns over another Covid Variant that is rapidly spreading around the world. Not only is it highly contagious but scientists are concerned it might become vaccine resistant. SAndra a bloody Fourth Of July weekend, shootings across this weekend killing more than 200 people. Our american cities losing the battle against a deadly surge in violence .

Cities as the city reels from a Surgeon Gun Violence reporting at least 261 people were killed. In did see its deadliest weekend of 2021. There was fear this week And would be bloody And indeed it was cops And children on the list of those who were shot over the Holiday Weekend, 100 people were shot, 18 killed, 11 of those shooting victims were children. Five little kids were shot in a nine Hour Stretch from Sunday Night to Monday Morning And a 5yearold girl was shot eight hours later in the same neighborhood, a 6yearold girl was shot. Chicagos Police Superintendent has been blaming the courts for some time saying they released violent offenders on ankle monitors. Today, he put some pressure on the media saying we need to take some responsibility And said the fourth branch of government can make the difference. Another problem you have in chicago are these crowds that inform up, a crowd of young people that swarm the downtown area, they shot off fireworks, one Police Officer was injured when a Bottle Rocket blew up in his ear. Another crowd formed up on the West Side And at that particular location when cops are running them off, two Police Officers were shot when someone fired into the crowd, one was shot in the foot And the other was shot in the leg. Also, Police Superintendent said over the weekend in Iowa Man was arrested in a Downtown Hotel near Lake Shore Drive he had a rifle, magazines, And a hAndgun And a Windowsill Overlooking the crowds on navy pier. SAndra Mike Tobin reporting from chicago forest, thank you. Benjamin a new Covid Variant is sparking concern among scientists due to an unusual mutation that could potentially be resistant to covid19 vaccines. It was first detected in peru last year And is now spreading in more than 90 other countries. Fox News Contributor joins us now. Dr. Saphier, thank you so much for being with us. Here we are, we have another variant, this one is from peru. 82 of cases there are the variant And is spreading in seven chilean researchers have said that it may be resistant to the And-nyu'>Vaccine And Nyu researchers saying they are not seeing evidence of this so should we be concerned about it . By the rate that we are going, we will be in zeta by The End of 2021. We are in lambda, originated in peru And now makes up the majority of cases in south america. In 27 countries already including the united states And europe, good news about this variant, still just a variant of interest. Thus far, the data shows its a little bit more transmissible like delta, no evidence to indicate that it is more avirulent or more severe or deadly And also great news coming out of Gillette University And backed up by an increased from nyu that are convalescent antibodies as well as the fact that teams will likely have the protective effect against his variant so yes, every variant is of concern but the good news is still the way to protect yourself is through full vaccination And as you mentioned, they have a lot of the chinese vaccine, they are not as effective as the mrna vaccines we been utilizing mostly in the united states, i anticipate we will still have very good protection from these vaccines against this And-majority'>Variant And Majority more to come. Benjamin with that in mind, does it do a disservice when they make a new fuss about every variant that comes along, does it feed the Culture Of Fear around this And should be just not be reporting on them until they become more significant . Undoubtably. This is causing a lot of panic, a lot of fear And the message is clear that none of these variants are as concerning as people want to make them seem. Yes, they are more transmissible. Yes, we will see this virus become endemic in means it is going to live with us for a while but we are not seeing a rise in hospitalizations in the antibodies seem to have some neutralizing effective against them And thats great news. Benjamin you talk about cases in hospitalizations, singapore has decided not to report Case Numbers because they say theres no point to it. He only look at hospitalizations or deaths. Is that something you like to see happen in the u. S. As well, but the cases to one side, no longer relevant . I have been screaming for the last seven months we need to stop testing asymptomatic people who are fully vaccinated. It doesnt matter if there is dead, Nonviable Virus hanging out in their Nose Bear they are not transmitting that to anyone else And that will not cause symptoms to them. All it does is artificially inflate our Case Count And causes And-panic'>Fear And Panic amongst people. Bottom line, we need to treat this. What weve been trying to do our save lives And get our country going again And we are doing that with vaccines that have proven extremely safe And efficacious in adults, especially the vulnerable which is why we have continued to see a drastic drop in hospitalizations And deaths. Benjamin dr. Saphier, thank you. Always so full of optimism for us. Thanks for coming on. We will you again soon. It just seems to me we are seeing so many of these new variants coming out And its hard to keep track of them And which ones are serious And which ones arent. The u. K. Has just taken the decision to open up in two weeks time And get rid of mask mAndates, get rid of social distancing, work from Home Advice because they say we have to learn to live with covid. Theres no two ways about it And better to open it now then let it spread it around And wait for the winter when we have things like flu happening. Thats happening on this side of the pond, dont know whether youre seeing positive signs of the u. S. As well. SAndra is going to give an update on Vaccine Progress right now, looking at 160 Million people fully vaccinated, that does fall short of his goal of 70 in the population getting at least one by July 4th so we will see what he has to say back half of the next hour we will listen to the president.

Police And National Guard troops from ten states are teaming up with Border Patrol to try to stem the tide. Covering this crisis for us in texas. He is there live with the latest. Good afternoon to you. I know im starting to sound like a broken record by now, but its been another very active morning out here in la jolla. Just a short time ago, witnessed a massive group being apprehended And want to show you that picture right now. Take a look from right here where we were stAnding a couple of hours ago. In my trips to the border during this search, this was the biggest single group ive ever seen apprehended at one time. This was well over 100 migrants who crossed illegally And were taken into custody by Border Patrol, mostly moms And children bear the ones i talked to said they were all from guatemala, honduras, nicaragua. Some of the moms We Saw breastfeeding, some children were coughing. Border agents have been telling us a lot of the folks coming over have been Testing Positive for covid19. We heard Governor Abbott Call for help the other week And now that help is showing up. Take a look at these photos provided to us by texas, Law Enforcement from florida And nebraska have already arrived in texas in the Del Rio Sector right now. This is florida state troopers And Nebraska State troopers where they are currently helping out Texas State troopers with their Border Operations until they sent over troopers, investigators, Shallow Water boats, more help is on the way from iowa, idaho, arkansas, And South Carolina but not everybody is happy with that. Take a look at what a group had to say, they sent a letter to President Biden on Fourth Of July urging him to stop allowing these states to send help to the border saying in part we are being invaded by governors of the defeated confederacy to arm the border against brown women And children. This is an insurrection by recalcitrant And rebellious states that must be stopped. Just a short time ago, i spoke with a spokesman And he responded to that. Take a listen. That logic is not going to help us through a crisis right now. What Governor Abbott has done is provide all these resources And what i would say is if you do not agree with what he is doing by providing these resources for this crisis then what solutions do you have . Theres been some thinking that this search would start to slow down as we head into the summer months. I can tell you what weve been seeing on the ground is just not happening. What we are waiting on now his for And-security'>HomelAnd Security to release their June Apprehension numbers, in april And may those were a 20 year recordsetting highs And now we are waiting to see what happens in june. Its over 180,000 apprehensions, we will set another 20 year record. We will send it back to you. Benjamin thank you very much. SAndra more Jobless Americans are suing the states that want to cut off the extra Unemployment Benefits offered by the fed during the pAndemic before the program ends in september. So far, they are taking legal action demAnding that they reinstate that extra 300 a week. Charles gasparino joining us now from Fox Business Network from Sun Valley today, good to see you And thank you. We will get to why youre there in just a moment but first, why are they suing . Why do they believe they are entitled to these benefits . To explain, the governors of the states are having a hard time answering to businesses why they couldnt get people to show up to work. I understAnd the basis for it speaking with some lawyers on this, the basis for their suits is that this is federal monies being disseminated to states to hAnd out to people so the states do not have a fiduciary right to basically say when, if, how, how much people should get paid And whether they should cut it off at some point. Thats the legal argument. I think based on the lawyers ive been speaking to that if this thing gets above where it is now particularly to the Supreme Court, they will lose And the reason why it is this, if you know like aid to children, welfare payments, those payments are doled out by states And the states regulate exactly who gets it And how they get it but the Supreme Court to come in And say no, the federal government will now dictate it seems to be a stretch. Particularly a conservative Supreme Court. It doesnt like changing current precedent which right now in New York state, the qualifications of welfare is different than in florida And thats because thats the way the state wants to hAndle the program. The states hAndle this program so i think its a loser ultimately in the courts but this is like an ambulance chasers dream come true, right . Lets sue a lot, make some headway, probably wont make a lot of money on this because it will be stuck in the courts. They have achieved it. SAndra they were going to expire in september anyways And an extra 300 the extended federal Unemployment Benefits on top of the existing State Unemployment benefits And it was the residence in indiana that first took legal action, right . Midjune, two nonprofit groups argue that they had violated the clear mAndates of indianas unemployment statue. Thats the point youre making to secure all rights And benefits available for unemployed individuals so you have to ask yourself, do they have a point there . I will let you respond before i move on. I do think they have a limited point. I think it will lose in the courts but who were these nonprofits . These are liberal progressive nonprofits. This is very political. This is obviously the political left lining up because they are doing on the Border Crisis with those governors, the confederacy, they were doing it here as well. SAndra i want to get some more on here because i saw you tweeting about something earlier today And that is the return of Wall Street. You are talking to folks And Wall Street journal is talking about the return of workers from a different way they are about this saying it is called time on work from home. Their rivals are ready to pounce. The culture at the heart of the debate. Some say the Trading Floor is the last bastion of Wall Street were interns And young employees learn by osmosis. Others think record results prove that the Trading Floor in the office alike have lost their relevance to what we do know is that Golden Saxon Jpmorgan her taking the hard line approach. We also know that Goldman Sachs got them back on the Trading Floors. Jpmorgan is now doing the same as of tuesday. It is citigroup that says we know a lot of folks really enjoy their Hybrid Work from home model. Perhaps we can attacked And retain top talent saying that we are open to the work from Home Environment that we learn can be productive so who do you think is getting this right . Weve been covering this a long time in the Wall Street journal decided to jump in today. Its two worlds in Wall Street, Goldman Sachs And Jp Stanley who are saying get your rear ends back to work, as the others like citigroup saying no. We should point out that citigroup was among the most bailed out banks in the world, its Stock Price has lagged the goldman And Jpmorgan Buy by Football Fields over the late years. This is not the place that you should be saying is the Andard'>Gold StAndard for Investment Banking And if you sat down And talked to Morgan Stanley And jpmorgan, speak to these folks from time to time, they will tell you this. Every study shows our workers are more productive at the office. We are highly regulated businesses. No offense, but they have to watch their employees. You know what happens. SAndra a lot is learned when you interact with employees especially the younger workers. Real quickly, says if you want to get paid New York rates, you work in New York. It there was definitely a crackdown. A real quick final thought on why youre there. This is a big media conference, they were more billionaires per Square Inch here than even in new York City right now. Jeff bezos is coming, Bill Gates is coming, im leaving people out, we are covering it. I cover this every year. I hate covering this conference And ill tell you why, the worst part of this conference is a security. I know they have to protect a bunch of billionaire babies, but heres the thing. They act like they are bouncing at a nightclub. SAndra let me ask something, is there someone in earshot of you that can hear you saying this like a Security Guard . Yes. It i feel like im 19 years old trying to get into studio 54. Its insane. SAndra Charlie Gasparino does not like to go anywhere with a dont know his name. It looks so fake behind you And covid coming you never know. This is so beautiful, by the way. SAndra enjoy And report back, we will catch up with you soon, thank you. Benjamin .

SAndra longtime manager for Britney Spears says he is stepping down from his post because he is no longer needed. He said he is set to officially retire announcing is the Conservatorship Battle plays out over the Singers Life And careers. We begin with Jeff Paul live in Los Angeles with the very latest details on all of this. Her Manager Larry Rudolph says its been over two And a half years since he last communicated with spears. His letter which first appeared on the Web Site was addressed to Spears Father an attorney monique montgomery. Rudy explained as her manager, i believe it is britneys best interest for me to resign from her team is my professional services are no longer needed. Rudolph also mentioned the conservatorship saying he is not familiar with its operations or details, however in her most recent court appearance, spears did say this regarding her 2018 to her. My management said if i dont do this to her, i will have to find an attorney And by contract, my own management could sue me if i dont follow through with it And he hAnded me a sheet of paper as i got up the stage in vegas And said i had to sign it. It was very threatening And scary. The night before that court testimony, spears reportedly called 911 to Report Conservatorship Abuse according to a New Yorker expose in the next hearing is wednesday, july 14th. SAndra thank you, jeff. Benjamin for more on this, lets bring in the Fox News Lingo Analyst for thank you very much for being with us. This is a story that keeps on going, more layers And layers so now we hear that britneys longtime manager has stepped down because she was going to retire And says that he was not involved And of course, mustve dealt with her father when it came to planning the vegas residencies or any of these other tours so what exactly is happening here And what impact does it have on the legal battle . Always great to be on with you, so heres the big issue, this is another step where they were all these individuals that are in this totality of surrounding britney that are all concerned because a lot of focus is going to be on what individuals have done especially since the conservatorship has now lasted 13 plus years. We will see what happens with the Court But Anyone that has been in this center of the Nucleus Surrounding Britney is going to be heavily scrutinized. It seems like there is more And more movement And a lot more pressure for there to be this type of real analysis of all these individuals especially someone like a manager And we know Larry Rudolph has been managing Britney Spears since 1995. There has been anything done especially with what was described by Britney Spears as being undue duress, continue trying to perform, thats going to be part of the analysis thats going to take place at some point where there is more And more focus on what has been done certainly with respect to what she has alleged giving her testimony And Larry Rudolph may very well be in the center of it all. To make that testimony sounded as if she had been under assault And a variety of ways And if that was the case, could any kind of legal proceedings come against those people who had been responsible for this if it turns out they werent overstepping their mark . Thats exactly right. What will happen is theres going to be a breach of fiduciary duty allegations against these individuals. Especially with it And serve a t, there is so much that is being taken care of for these individuals. We know that she has jody montgomery to take care of her person, we know her father has since withdrawn, they petition the court to withdraw which they have done And its been granted. All of these individuals were in control of her person And it was such shocking testimony to hear britney talk about how extreme this conservatorship has been in her life And her personal health, in her mental health, And her physical being, her body, her ability to have children read all of these things come to light. Benjamin with all of those things in mind, we all heard that testimony. Is there something else at play here . It would seem when they were so many reasons for the conservatorship to be canceled or someone else to come to place And yet it didnt, is there something else that we dont know about that the court is withholding behind the scenes . Two things. You almost have to read the tea leaves. Two things that Britney Spears talked about, one is that she wants the conservatorship to end without an evaluation of herself meaning some psychiatric, Psychological Evaluation to determine whether or not she could actually regain her life so that is one that you heard it clearly something that she had done, the second is more procedural. There hasnt been for at least hasnt been reported that there is a final, formal actual petition to end the conservatorship. We dont see any sort of former filing with respect to that so that might be the issue as well. Procedural And the fact that britney says she doesnt want to be evaluated so those two things would be problematic.

It whether effectiveness of vaccines could dramatically drop only months after getting the shot. The research even more troubling as we learned of a new Mutant Strain seen in peru And right now, we are hearing it is on the move. Good afternoon, everyone. I am Andra-smith'>SAndra Smith And this is America Reports. Benjamin And im Benjamin Hall. We are going to lay out everything we know as covid tries for a Come Back including this headscratcher. Captain america giving up on The American Dream, an iconic hero accused of trash talking the nation that made him. SAndra also, shoplifters putting some small stores out of business so now they are eluding luxury. San franciscos Crime Wave sweeps Neiman Marcus. But first, Fox News alert. The biggest attack of its kind in one the world has never seen, Ransomware Strike invading hundreds of networks around the globe And giving cyber hostage Takers Control over their target. Benjamin investigators say they are the same russian hackers who a little more than a month ago held that much of the united states supply. Experts will then ping the ransom could make them even bolder, a prediction coming to pass several times over. This time a staggering 17 million. SAndra cybersecurity becoming a major issue at President Bidens summit with russian President Putin last month, promising the u. S. Would hold the kremlin it accountable for the next attack that came from Russian Soil. Now some critics are pushing to make sure its a promise that biden keeps. National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin is live at the pentagon with the very latest details on all of this. What are we learning . In essence, this latest Ransomware Attack by a suspected russian cyber gang is holding the u. S. Presidency hostage putting the u. S. Russian relationship squarely in its crosshairs. The same for 11 Million last month his thought to be responsible. President biden ordered his national Security Team to do a Deep Dive And was asked about the hike this weekend in michigan. I directed the full resources of the government to assist in a response if we determine. What else do you need . Nothing, youre all set. Either with the knowledge of And or the consequence of, lets tell putin we will respond. The Ransomware Attack carried out through software from the miamibased comes just week after biden met russian Vladimir Putin in geneva. Sweden has been hit hardest with Cash Registers in the past few days, the criminals offered the Decipher Key to thousAnds of companies affected across 17 countries for a mere 70 Million in cryptocurrency ransom. Someone said this is the largest attack in history, it is nothing like that but it has my name on it, has our Companys Name on it And we are doing everything can to fix it. That from the ceo, the fbi is assisting in the investigation but many of those affected may not have known their companies were targeted by the July 4th Weekend Hack until they arrived back at work this morning. SAndra Jennifer Griffin live at the pentagon for us, lets welcome in a former Intelligence Official with the defense intelligence agency, she has a book coming out this Month Titled Putins playbook, russias secret plan to defeat america. Welcome. Im in this latest attack all part of the seventh latest plan . Absolutely. They have developed a very sophisticated strategy to unravel the united states to destabilize our society And cyber as a weapon that they use that they believe is very effective in keeping the conflict below the threshold of the u. S. Military response. Benjamin youve said the u. S. Needs to develop a Counter Strategy to combat President Putin And all of these russian actions. Do you see one at that moment And if not, how should they respond . First of all my President Biden said that he has directed the Intelligence Community into doing these. It is very unfortunate that the Deep Dive has been directed after the attack And not before. So we have been sleeping at the wheel with regard to the russian threat. So that is number one. So we have to catch up in terms of understAnding their mindset And how they intend to use cyber. At this point, we need to reeducate the russian government in terms of our tolerance for these cyberattacks. We need to act firmly And need to act swiftly. That doesnt mean we need to react irresponsibly because cyber is a domain where a conflict can escalate uncontrollably very quickly, but we must respond firmly. So that the russians dont do that again. SAndra we will see how the u. S. Responds, Jen Psaki the u. S. Press secretary was asked of the Briefing Room And here is how she responded, we will get your reaction. Is the president made clear to President Putin when they met, the russian government cannot take action against criminal actors residing in russia, we will take Action Or Reserve the right to take action on our own. SAndra of considering this is the latest attack to come from Russian Soil And we heard from President Biden making promises to hold Putin Accountable if this were to happen again im a what do you expect his next move will be . How to be said strong message . Its very hard to predict what President Biden will do. President biden has been assessed by the russian president And russian government is weak And soft with regards to his policy towards russia. My And-expectation'>Hope And Expectation is that the biden administration will hold putin responsible And he ultimately is, but im not certain given the 20 years of inaction by the u. S. Government. I am very pessimistic in terms of what the response will be. Benjamin what does President Putin get from watching these attacks, what is his End Game . He is getting a lot. Basically, the ultimate goal is to destabilize the american society. Whom the russian government Abuses Threat Number one. Political Threat Number one. President putin an effect on the eve of July 4th, Independence Day approved a new version of russias national Security Strategy which has codified the socalled coercive use of force. Within that rubric falls as It Tools to our society And that is the ultimate goal And in my book, i describe the rest of Putins Master Plan that was devised targeting america. SAndra how vulnerable are we benjamin what sectors in particular do you watch after you described that perceived weakness that you say President Putin sentences in this biden administration . Alarmingly, all of our sectors are pretty much vulnerable. The russians have already attacked multiple sectors of our critical infrastructure including some of our nuclear facilities And President Biden gesture does not attack the russians does not solve any problem at all. In looking at everything that the russians have already breached, hundreds of thousAnds of companies in the approach that they use as they still have a multiplier by attacking what is called the supply chain vendor, they effectively have enabled criminal access to hundreds of thousAnds of targets And that can be potentially destabilizing. SAndra we really appreciate you joining us following up with you, had you on the last time one of these attacks took place. We will have you back, thank you. Obviously a very clear description as the threat that russia poses to our country right now that you described after biden said this is biden after the last putin summit. The u. S. Response to another attack, its really important to hear in his own words. Listen. Responsible countries need to take action against criminals who conduct ransomware activities on their territory. How would you feel if ransomware took on the pipelines from your oilfields . It would matter. This is not just about our self interest, its about a mutual selfinterest. SAndra after those words, the question is now do we respond . Benjamin absolutely And it sounds as if over the weekend President Biden is drawing a Red Line And you have to worry what happens if indeed it is that we know for certain it was the russians And President Biden has to respond And cyber experts are saying all the time now that World War iii is likely to happen online in the cyber sphere. We have to see What Happens Next And who acts first And the question of paying ransoms by the way is a policy when it comes to kidnapped people. The u. S. Does not pay ransoms because it means they Come Back for more again And again so we have seen ransoms paid already by companies in the u. S. And that has to end somehow as well. A tricky situation. Coming up next, new concerns over covid including questions over how effective some of the shots may be. That is scientists warn of a new variant could be even more dangerous than the delta strain.

Many believe the Lambda Variant first detected in peru about a year ago is the reason the country has the worlds highest pAndemic death rate. Its believed to be in over 25 countries now. Benjamin americas crime crisis killed 261 people over the long Holiday Weekend And thats from shootings alone. That number coming from the Gun Violence archive And not accounting for other forms of bloodshed. Many of the nations largest cities are struggling to contain a rise in violent crimes And if it feels like the problem is getting worse, it is at least in cities like chicago which just launched its bloodiest weekend all year. Of course, that meant a particular dangerous with weekend for Law Enforcement. In houston, another officer in critical condition after he was shot yesterday responding to a parking dispute. In chicago, two officers were shot And injured while trying to break up a crowd And in las vegas, shot working a music event. Then in milwaukee, cops say two officers they were hurt when someone attacked them with fireworks. SAndra even nonviolent crime hitting many american cities hard, where shoplifters have been plaguing the storeowners there. A crowd of thieves storming in Neiman Marcus, Cell Phone Video showing them running off with hAndbags And other designer goods from that upscale department store. Witnesses say the group smashed display cases And ransacked the racks taking everything they could get their hAnds on. Benjamin the suspect accused of Killing A pro golfer And two other men at a Country Club in georgia is still at large. Reportedly shot in the head after investigating the Pickup Truck stopped into a sAnd trap. Officers later found two other bodies in the bed of the truck, one of them was identified as the owner of the vehicle. SAndra with violence on the rise, critics say leadership is lacking so more americans are taking matters into their own hAnds to keep their neighborhood safe. William la jeunesses life with more on that for us. People are not just buying guns And installing video cameras, they are being proactive, walking in high crime areas trying to take back their cities one neighborhood at a time. The weapon utilized was a hAndgun. They are the eyes And ears of l. A. P. D. Going to be that tattoo. This is a Neighborhood Watch on steroids. Officer John Antonelli runs a Volunteer Program in north hollywood. A common purpose, how can we make the city safer . Last week, a dozen of 150 volunteers hit the street in an area known for drugs And theft. Following a male hispanic. Because they are in unmarked cars, suspects paid them no attention. Drugs are one thing but when stealing from all the neighbors to get their drugs, thats where we decided enough was enough. Join the crime Watch Program after Sherry Herrmann who now recruits other volunteers. They are caught And released right away And i think people are getting frustrated with it. From big cities to small towns, block watch his back. I think it brings awareness. In june, population 5,000 rebuilt its crime Watch Program to establish Community Trust And deter crime. It is something that people see that they pay attention to And that they certainly think twice about from things that we have established here. With technology like messaging And apps like next door, if people see someone gazing a neighborhood are checking windows, they will take a photograph And that will be on Everyones Telephone in a matter of minutes And stats show this is making a difference.

SAndra Kayleigh Mcenany here in just a moment to talk about afghanistan as it seems And-awe'>Shock And Awe has ended with a whimper. The Associated Press announcing u. S. Forces left under the cover Of Darkness without telling the bases new afghan commAnder. Hours later, Afghan Military officials say a group of looters ransacked the base before the Afghan Army took control. Still, the taliban is taking back huge sections of the country along with History Book ended by taking back its ground. Senior foreign Affairs Correspondent covered on the ground from afghanistan since 9 11 And is now live from london with the latest on this report. Its sad to see things going from bad to worse in afghanistan just a couple of months after President Biden said all u. S. Troops were coming out. The biggest symbol of that, one time the center of u. S. Military activity now with a relatively small number of afghan troops trying to they complained as you noted the americans didnt give them any warning that the last troops left in the night opening them to looters or worse. U. S. Brass says it is all part of a planned drawdown. This is the taliban continues to seize more territory but says now they control as much is onethird of the country. Happening in the north where they have not been strong, afghan soldiers surrendering And fleeing, Television Taking over u. S. Gear. The u. S. General in charge has warned of a possible Civil War And said the country could fall in six months And is now extending the pullout to august is some closed, the u. S. Embassy looks at evacuation plans. The afghan government said they were surprised by the taliban moves but are planning a counteroffensive. Russia is looking on in saying security issues are big in neighboring countries. Back to you. SAndra Greg Palkot live from london for us. Thank you. Benjamin joining us now for more on this, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh Mcenany, thank you so much for being with us today. Listening to that story, it does seem as if the u. S. Have pulled out in a way that has left allies in the lurch. Many agree there has to be a transition but ensuring this has to be done in different ways, whats going on . Thats right, when you think about the Air Base at its height, there were 100,000 american troops there And in a span of two hours without any notification to the afghans taking over the base, all of a sudden darkness. The electricity goes out, one source said it was as if it was assigned to looters to have adit essentially And i think congressman mccaul, the ranking member on the foreign Affairs Committee had the most salient point which is this, you can debate when our troops should depart but you cannot debate And-preparation'>Planning And Preparation And having a responsible exit to the country. To say when you fail to plan, you plan to fail And it seems in this case we are off to a rocky exit out of afghanistan. Benjamin Jen Psaki speaking on the drawdown, a bit noncommittal. I would point into the Department Of Defense on that And the specific accuracy of those comments. The relationship with afghan leaders, how do you explain that to them . Again, im pointing you to the Department Of Defense because they are the leaders on the ground who would have hAnded off to afghan leaders on the ground. Benjamin not a huge response they are but one of the other points is President Trump for a long time has been working on negotiations with the taliban, a key part of the transition but what happens to those negotiations anymore . What are you seeing And hearing about those And she did not happen before it is seen through . Making sure there is a safe Andment-mr.'>Exit CommAndment Mr. What Jen Psaki did the classic tactics as Press Secretary, a good answer to the question, talking to Department Of Defense or an agency thats under your power of course is the White House is in charge, but when you dont have a good answer, it seems like they have one there but yes, youre right. That support is instrumental. We hope the Washington Post was reporting this weekend, you could see in a Worstcase Scenario Al Qaeda getting bases in the country again, the taliban And in six months you just heard of our own reporter say you could see the afghan government fall. No one wants to see that. These are very real scenarios that are being posited by our Intelligence Community. Benjamin one of the other big issues And something we have covered on fox is what happens to all the people in afghanistan who has worked for the u. S. Who were instrumental over there And we heard from an afghan translator just recently, he said we are right now at the final stage. They are going to slaughter us anyway. Shouldnt they be a priority, enough happening to help them . They should undoubtedly be a priority, President Biden has said that they are but we need to see a meaningful plan here because there are many interpreters in this two decade long fight And when you include their families which would be taken out of the country as well, thirdparty country for visa processing, that is removing anywhere from 50 to 60,000 individuals we want to make sure they have the safe exit they deserve at least that much And ill say this, there is no bigger proponent of ending foreign wars than President Trump. That was indeed one of his Chief Arguments as he won the election in 2016. Youve got to do it safely And responsibly. President obama said we have to end foreign wars safely but that did not happen in iraq as We Saw that country that was taken over by isis. We do not want an act to hear. That means taking care of those 50 to 60,000 interpreters And their family. Benjamin also saying earlier that they would get them out hopefully by The End of august or so, so we will see if that may happen. Kayleigh mcenany, thank you very much for joining us today. SAndra the New York times Opinion Column heaping praise on President Bidens economic policies And giving him credit for the booming economy. But critics say the recovery is not because of, but in spite of President Bidens expensive policies which could be holding the economy even Faster. Lets bring in our panel, Fox News contributor here. A small start out with this question to you, went to you first last time, i know theres a debate every week on that. But do you give President Biden credit for what does appear to be a very strong economic recovery happening . I think if you grade by the numbers, its hard to make that case. The u. S. Economy strongly in the third quarter, growing solidly in the fourth quarter, congress acted in december in a bipartisan fashion. By the time the american Rescue Plan was passed in march, much were 6. 5 , all the american Rescue Plans force the feds hAnd so all of this is a really credit to what went on in 2020, not what went on in 2021. I know the administration has plans to reshape the economy, none of that has happened yet so no credit is due. SAndra interesting. Im assuming you disagree with that. Heres the real reason the economy is recovering. She says the economy is not rebounding because the american Rescue Plan as biden would have you believe. Anything, passed with only Democrat Votes in march are holding us back, the economy is recovering because President Trumps operation works to be delivered vaccines that drove covid into the ground And allowed businesses to reopen. Thats it, thats what happened. So are we feeling perhaps to give former President Trump credit for the rebound we are seeing . Listen, this is partisan politics, no question that the Biden Economy is working, wages are up, the Relief Package was helpful, no question about it, moved the economy under trump to a vshaped economy, wages have been fantastic. I feel like douglas, i am nervous about inflation thats because we have a booming economy under President Biden. I think we always like to ignore what happened in 202000 President Trump just like we like to ignore what happened in 2011 under president bush. What happens is the next president takes over And he brings up his own policy And then he gets credit for it. President biden deserves credit by the way just like in the 80s, i gave reagan credit but you also give the fed credit. SAndra Wells Fargo pointing to the fact that the economic labor is not coming cheap for these companies, rationing how long that can possibly last even though we are seeing this recovery. This is Wells Fargo sr. Economist saying getting workers back to the Job Site has not come cheap. Employers have had to pony up in industries where shortages have been particularly acute so to that point, it is great that things are picking up, people traveling again, great demAnd out there but youve got to be able to supply it And that takes workers And that is not coming cheap right now. That is certainly the case. I did a quick calculation that given the level of unemployment, we should have A Million And a half more jobs in hospitality And they arent there even though wages have risen to a 7 rate in the past year or so employers are trying to hire people, trying to meet the demAnds for vacations finally going out to dinner finally, seeing a show finally but we dont have the Supply Side at this point, we have some real impediments can we have some longstAnding issues And getting people back to work And until that gets cleared up, we will not see Faster employment. SAndra really important point made there. To steve scalises tweet on what we are seeing, you are shaking your head will give you an opportunity to respond, says inflation is up, Gas Prices are rap, cyberattacks are going up, taxes will be going up. So are you concerned that the very policies that Joe Biden is touting might actually be a catalyst for a slow down eventually . First, i need to respond to what douglas said. Hospitality And leisure has the best Employment Numbers last month. Going up 7 is not some great rAndom number that everyone is talking about, still way below the national mean of 30 an hour. They are actually hiring more than anyone but they need to actually pay the right level so people actually choose that. SAndra what is the right level . I think you are throwing some words around there. The right level is what people are willing to take the job And it showed last month they increase their wages. SAndra doesnt that speak to the very problem . Sure. We had an Unemployment Bonus for 37 of the people making more in unemployment than their previous job so the right wage got changed by the bonus. We had the right wages And the policy messed it up so they trying to recover. SAndra started with douglas And all finished with you. Theres a Cbc Article this morning that it could be his own policies. The headwind could be too much of a good thing talking about the economic rebound And the stimulus that could be driving inflation, Gas Prices, Food Prices so what do you worry could be a catalyst for this recovery to eventually slow or turnaround . No question, this is where douglas And i agree, we are both nervous of inflation. The Consumer Confidence people are spending, taking their savings, theyre spending so with all of this Price Inflation happening, we will see whether the fed is right or wrong, i dont think it expAnds like they think, they should be moving back And we wont know who is right or wrong but i hope its not too late. SAndra transitory, that is the where they used to say that inflation is happening but is not going to last long, but it seems to be here for at least a little bit now. Weve been talking about it. I gave Robert Last Word so you will both Come Back. Im going to agree with him because the fed is claiming it is transitory but changing their policies. Benjamin coming up next, the fight over what your kids are being taught in the classroom. Our countrys biggest Teachers Unions throwing its weight behind critical Race Theory.

You know how 5,000 signatures. Just put them all in perspective on where this debate is knowing our viewers knowing this has been happening for quite some time. Its important to note that the physicians of the Teachers Union dont reflect the opiniont of teachers across the country but this resolution essentially endorsing critical Race Theory sort of exposes this argument that youve been hearing from democrats, focus on the progressive side of the debate essentially saying this Stuff Isnt being taught at all in kindergarten through high school classrooms. The argument shows it is not just being topic being advocated for by the countrys largest Teachers Union And at the same time as this resolution has been promoted, the other Teachers Union is inviting one of the Big Advocates Of Antiracism who also connected to critical Race Theory is the Keynote Speaker at the upcoming conference very soon so the notion that this is not an increasing problem has been sort of blown out the window by the very powerful Teachers Unions that are now saying this is a very advocating for. SAndra as we talk about this, its important to put the words on the screen from the national association saying it will have a team of staffers, for members who want to learn more And fight back against anticrt rhetoric And will further convey that it is reasonable And appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understAnding And interpreting the impact of the Past Oncurreng Medical The Classroom And our parents being removed from the equation . It really means that a lot of these ideologies hinge on promoting indoctrination, not education. Whether you agree or have different views on how america was founded in all the historical debates therein, the argument that a lot of these crt advocates are talking about is i dont want bait at all, you have to accept our worldview or else you are racist, or else he should be dismissed or canceled. That is what is driving so much outrage among parents across the country And it is not just republicans or conservatives. You are seeing a lot of the most Hot Button political fights percolating in blue are parts, california, my neck of the words in fairfax county, very Blue County debates are going on And being led not just by republicans but by a lot of moderates, even some democrats who really are alarmed at whats going on in the School System so this is why this is so. SAndra embracing critical Race Theory, Teachers Unions say they, not the parents control what kids learn for this is parking fierce debate all across the country, its not over. Thank you for joining us. Sorry we are out of time. Benjamin an international battle is bubbling over bubbly.

Next up, Marvel Comics Under Fire for Captain America getting political And far from patriotic. In the latest series, the Super Hero questions The American Dream saying heres the thing about a dream though. A Dream Isnt real. Im starting to think america actually has two dreams And one lie. The first american dream is the one that isnt real. Its one some people expect to just be hAnded to them. Then they get angry when it disappears. The truth is it never existed in the first place. Lets bring in michael loftus, comedian. I know you have a lot to say about this. Captain mesh is an enduring symbol of the u. S. What is happening . Its sad, really. Its so sad when kept america is like captain woke or captain propagAnda. Did i miss an issue where he was kidnapped by Liberal Arts Professors And forced to move to portlAnd . Its the worst. Its just more proof that the left is going to come after everything that Real Americans hold near And dear after baseball, they tried to cancel apple pie. Now Captain America. Maybe they will change his out fit. Maybe instead of a shield, hell have a laptop And have exciting adventures where he sits in Coffee Shops And tweets mean things. Hes an active Fact Checker on facebook. Its horrible. Its absolutely incredible as well. The thing is that children watch these And they are so influenced by them. So when you do something like this, what impact do you think that a has on young viewers And young readers . It has a huge impact. A lot of people think that Comic Book Sales are down. Theyre not. Theyre growing. This is pretty insidious. They dont want the right to have any hear rows. Gone are the days of the lone And-self'>Hero And Self reliant. They have to tear that down And make us question everything. I find it completely ironic that a Marvel Comic like Captain America is going to insist that The American Dream is dead when stan lee, who made that company what it is, his parents were immigrants. He lived The American Dream. Marvel comics is the embodiment of The American Dream And now they want to convince children its not real. Im done with Captain America. Hes dead. What about the companies that own or make kept america . Disney is one the avengers, i believe. What does this say about these companies are heading that direction . What kind of pressure are they under that they have to head down this route . Evidently they want to flex how woke they are. Disney seems Hell Bent on ruining every franchise. Theyre going to ruin marvel. They ruined Star Wars by injecting politics into it. It really seems like Mickey House just has three fingers And its running around shooting himself in the foot.
