And welcome, everyone. Im Sandra Smith. It is friday. Hello, benjamin. Im benjamin, in for john roberts. Department of education approved plans to have six states and washington, d. C. To use funds from President Bidens american Rescue Plan. Sandra some states could use the funds to further the controversial programs. Live from the White House with a breakdown how the states will use the funding. The american Rescue Plan was signed in during march, getting that money out times time. The departments of education sending 6 Billion to handful of states to help kids get back to school. A lot of money going in different places. A Lot Go for funds to make sure kids go back to the classroom, some for summer programs. There are proposals to address racial and social gaps. Look at Rhode Island funding plan. They want to center all Actions Antiraceicism that promotes wellness. Critics are watch closely to see if the biden administration is upon hadding School Districts advance more on training programs. We heard from Education Secretary Miguel cardona, who made it clear this is a major priority. This is our moment, educators. Make the Education System Work for all students and all educators. Beyond recovery, lets commit to moving forward together. We must take bold action to ensure equal opportunity for all student it is. There is debate what kind of Role Schools and School Systems should play on race. After a year being away. School districts try to block the teaching of the critical Race Theory. The debate is heating up right now. Back to you, guys. Mark at the White House, thanks very much. Sandra bring in lars jones in dallas for coverage of cpac. A crowd behind him. He will get to Cpa C in a second. You draw crowds wherever you go, ive seen it happen. Good stuff. I want to ask about that in a minute. First to controversial programs like critical Race Theory, that you and i have spoken so much about, to Covid Catch Being deployed to teach that curriculum in americas schools. What do you have to say about that . I mean, i have a problem with any type of program specifically designed for covid being used for any type of programs. Americans, no matter where you fall on the issue to be concerned when you have money that is allocated for one Purpose And Government in return uses it for their own benefit, their Social Justice policies or it is for infrastructure, whatever it was. Americans designed that money for people to get back to work and help people in the middle of a pandemic. That is not what they are going to do. Relates to the larger conversation and sandra, ive been at the center of this, been to Louden County and all of the progressive theories. What this is showing you, it is here to stay. And if you disagree with the theory, then you have to propose an alternative to the theory. Because what ive seen in Loushgdon County and i think parents have a right to be frustrated. The histories correct. They teach to draw that history, it becomes problematic and if they want to stop this, teach it in your home. The culture is winning right now. The fact it is already been into the Education System for a while, i cover College Campuses for two years, campus reform. Only reason why parents know about crt and Social Justice terms ive been talking about for years is because of the pandemic, able to Look at what their kids were being taught. Sandra Great Point. This has been taught for a while. Sandra Great Point about offering an alternative. I know, lawrence, that is something im hearing republicans talk about, as well. We cant just slam this theory, what are we going to encourage as far as curriculum in the nations schools. Senator Mike Lee takes issue with covid cash and theories in schools. It is covid cash. It is Government Money being put toward controversial programs. Here is senator lee. Listen. The Federal Government should have very little role in primary and secondary education. K12 schools are creatures of states and local governments, not the Federal Government. Which certainly shouldnt be Step Nothing with critical Race Theory. We should be celebrating diversity, critical Race Theory doesnt celebrate diversity, it weaponizes it. That is bad for america and it doesnt help heal the wounds that need to be healed. Sandra as this is happening, lawrence, we can put up this map. These are states that have already decided to ban or are considering banning critical Race Theory in the classrooms as so many parents have spoken up and spoken out against this being taught in the classrooms. To senator lees point, what role should the government play, if any, in teaching race, history in our nations schools . Well, sandra, i see what you did there, you put another libertarian on the screen and tell the audience where government should be. Of course i agree with the senator, i believe it is a local issue. Parents should have more control, local School Districts. You pay majority of Property Taxes to your district. When it comes to race, it should be left up to the parent. The problem is culture is teaching them anyway. You can gripe about it or beat them to the pufrp. What i discovered, even with loudon county, kids are turning on their parents, taking side of their classmates and the side of public pressure. If you want to advance the issue and talk about the history, you got to teach the history in your home because the first time they hear about it is in the classroom, they put their spin on it and not going to say what they feel like the solution should be. It wont be solution based on solution, it is based on fact. Teach the good, bad and ugly in the classroom and tell your kids to love their classmates, that is the best you can do. Sandra love your classmates. Amen. Lawrence, what are you doing there . What are republicans talking about . What is the crowd saying behind you . What really is the overall theme at Cpa C this year as we anticipate former President Donald Trump Will Headline the event . What is the future of the republican party, lawrence . You know, No One really knows, sandra, that is the tricky thing. I feel like they are unified at cpac, the most conservative group, they hold politicians feet to the fire. So they are excited about seeing a former president. They are excited about seeing their next leaders. I think this conference and i talk about this, they want to talk about solutions. Ive been covering crime with this channel for three years before defund the policemen. It has been a buildup. That is what i plan to discussing in my speech tomorrow. I will talk about the problem and the solution, that means local government. The notion we are to abandon our american family and big cities and go to the suburbs, that can no longer be the solution. Guess what . The crime is reaching suburbs, as well. Our family Members Matter in this american republic. Take the issues seriously. Sandra lawrence, good stuff. The major themes among them, open for business, Cpac 2021 title this year as america uncancelled. Youre there for it. I will tell you this, sandra, were in my Home State of texas. I love being home in texas it. It has been open here. They take the the economy is great here, they just need people to get back to work. They cant keep up with the wages, they are competing with government right now. Sandra happy to see you, lawrence, we will catch up as cpac continues. Thank you. Thank you, my friend. President biden defending his decision to withdraw troops from afghanistan, moves up the date to complete the mission as taliban Forces Gain Ground taking out several districts from government sources. And live in kabul, afghanistan. Greg, you covered this story entire time, what are you seeing there now . Benjamin, we have been here this time, less than one day. It doesnt take long to figure out this taliban is serious and it is dangerous. One of the spokes people for will Militant Group you claiming they run 85 of the country, that is a wild exaggeration. The gains are real. Yes, another district near harat in Western Afghanistan and another Border Crossing between afghanistan and iran. The Afghan Military continues to underperform, some 300 more soldiers fled to iran just today. This follows surrenders, giving Grounds Handovers weve been watching for the last couple of days. This is a force the United States Military and nato allies worked hard to shore up. We talked to a lot of people in kabul and they have opinions, first, real fear of the taliban. Real tension about what would happen if they came here and upset about the quick, precipitous way the united states left some bases here, including balgrum, one week ago. They want more assurance. They want more security and frankly, there is real concern here. Back to you. Greg palco, live on the ground in afghanistan, greg, thank you. Sandra. Sandra this from the White House, President Biden speaking with russian president Vladamir Putin this afternoon and telling Putin Russia must take action against cyber criminals and russianlinked hackers. The u. S. Will take any necessary action to defend americans or our infrastructure. At the White House briefing, which happened just moments ago, Press Secretary Jen Psaki says when the two leaders met in geneva last month, President Biden knew there was need for ongoing discussion and engagements. Remember the list that was apparently handed over of targets the hackers should avoid, making big news. He took questions from reporters while on the ground there. This was a promise to go hard on russia if the activity typesets. From the White House a short time ago. 16 facilities he told Vladamir Putin could not be attacked. What if other facilities are attacked will President Biden Hold Putin Accountable for those . We dont know where the line is and where he will react and how he will react. There are offensive sides, when will we see those used . What point does that happen . Sandra more on that coming up. The White House is facing potential ethics issue. Hunter biden Looks to cash in on the family name. Ari fleischer will weigh in on that. Sandra Looking forward to that and brandnew recommendations from the cdc, as they call for schools to reopen this fall, what does it mean for your kids and whether theyll have to be wearing masks.

I did not see the waistdeep wading myself. It Looks dangerous. That is not advised, some folks getting caught in rush Hour Yesterday when the rain started. It was something overnight, as well. Amazing what some people will do to get to work. Hats off to them. Some Jobs Cant be missed and they have to get there. It is incredible how much rain fell so quickly. Flash floods potentially happening again. Be safe, watch out. Sandra absolutely. Benjamin new guideness from the cdc, it recommends children should return to school this fall. The agency tweeting, safely returning to Inperson Instruction in fall 2021 is Priority And Focus is on masks, and dr. Nicole sapphire the author of politics, and dr. Nicole sapphire, i know you feel strongly about this, one thing so many parents are Looking for, whether or not their children would have to wear masks in the fall. Cdc guidance now saying yes, they should from the age of two upwards. I dont understand this. If the teachers are vaccinated, parents are vaccinated, bus drivers, why still focus on having children as young as two wearing masks in the classroom . Thats a great question, benjamin, i can tell you, you are not the only one confused by some of this. The cdc is really the only global entity that recommends children above the age of two should consider wearing masks. They dont cite studies that Show Masking young children reduces the risk. They just cite a bunch of studies where masking was confounded with other measures that lower transmission. Here is good news that come out of the updated recommendation, they emphasize the importance of inperson learning. They essentially gave teachers unions no way out of getting out of inperson in the fall. Detriment children suffered because of school closures. Moving forward, they still recommend that children wear masks, despite continued distancing, Surveillance Testing whether or not Community Transmission is low or high, they just say to still do that. This is the wrong move. When you have low Community Transmission, you have a vaccine available. You have plethora of studies that show Inschool Transmission to be negligible, and disease that doesnt cause severe issue in children and low risk of transmitting to others. It is low risk. More benefit to removing masks from children than wearing in most parts of the country. Benjamin yeah, good News Issue Bad News there perhaps. I want your thoughts on something else. Causing waves a couple days ago when he said this. Take a listen and well get your response. Federal government spent trillions to keep americans alive during this pandemic, so it is absolutely the Governments Business. It is Taxpayer Business if we have to continue to spend money to keep people from Contracting Covid. It is absolutely Government Business to know who has been vaccinated. I want to read a tweet for you, they backtracked quickly, tweeting the following day this. Some comments i made today have been taken wildly out of context. To be clear, government has no Database Tracking who is vaccinated. We are encouraging people to step up to protect themselves, others by getting vaccinated, it is best way to end this pandemic. Peoples Health Choices are private and personal between them and their doctors. That is an overstep, perhaps. Well, of course it is, the conversation, whether someone should be vaccinated or not should be between a patient and physician, nothing to do with the government, with really any media outlet. It should be medical conversation, there are risk and benefits to everything. I will say, when he said the government spent trillions on vaccines, it is our right to know whether you take it or not. I know hes backtracked that, the fact he said that, rebuttal is, think of every american who lost their job, who has lost income or committed suicide, mental and physical health, negative consequences. That doesnt mean they feel they need something back in return now. The fact they say they have spent money, what about the suffering americans have gone through for the past year and a half because of bad decisions made by the government . This will fuel more anger, more skepticism and does not get us where we need to be, this is not going to help get past that Vaccine Hesitancy when you use this language. Benjamin i wonder if the big fight down the pipeline might be vaccine mandate. Been some issue about that. What are your views on that . Sure. I mean, ive seen Media Contributor say vaccines need to be mandated, need to be proof of vaccine before you take off your mask. I do not support this. I never have. Look at Community Transmission, you see low Percent Positivity in community rates. Yes, you have some locality with low Vaccine Rates and we need to make sure there is public outreach there and good access to information and the vaccines and testing, but outside of that, i do not think it is necessary to mandate vaccines in everyone. The point of Herd Immunity is get to point of low transmission and natural immunity and a lot of places have reached that. You can see that by Looking at data. Stop with the fear mungerring, if you tell people to keep wearing masks, people will not go and get vaccinated. Benjamin thank you for joining us today. Thanks. Thank you.

Ben, the only thing faster than avenattis rise to fame was stunning selfpropelled fall from media darling. Height of popularity, he had nearly 900,000 twitter followers, considered run for president and was ubiquitous on television news. To me, you are like the holy spirit. You are all places, all times. Looking ahead to 2020, im taking you seriously as a contender because of your presence on cable news. Notorie ty soared when he represented Stormy Daniels.

His former client, Stormy Daniels said, i quote again, the longer i knew him, i began witnessing his lies and dishonesty until i realized i too his victim. Avenatti faces federal trial in new York Court for embezeling 350,000 from daniels. First he goes on trial in california for Bank And Wire fraud charges. He went from possibly going to the White House to the big house. The judge in the Nicircumstance E Case ordered avenatti to report to prison in september. Ben. Benjamin what a story. David in new york there, thank you very much sandra. Sandra bring in ari fleischer, Fox News Contributor. You listen to that, everyone has a reaction. Im sure you have a reaction, well get in a moment. If that was not shocking enough, put on the screen how much We Saw of avenatti, number of Media Appearances per network. 122 on cnn alone. 108 on msnbc, 12 abc, nbc, and fox had two, Tucker Carlson interview, he grilled him on a lot of his issues. Ari, your reaction. Ari you know, i think frankly, he is a symbol of the antitrump era. How many times did the Mainstream Media try to get Donald Trump through whatever vehicle they could, including Michael Avenatti, they gave so much attention to. How many charges about collusion, how many charges about wrongdoing, did they all air, doing tremendous damage to our country, including allegations he was illegitimate president. Turned out to be false. From the steele dossier, the damage the Mainstream Media did to america to get donned was fierce. And hes got his personal accounting now, prison. But what about the Nations Accounting . I get Donald Trump is contro versial, doesnt mean be unfair in coverage. Sandra unapologetic in the amount of time they gave him. I want to move on, White House made news as far as controversy over deal of the art as Washington Post put it and Hunter Biden artwork on display at a gallery in new york, ethics of pricey paintings is the headline in the Washington Post. Pointing out obvious challenges with the son of a president doing this. The White House officials have helped craft an agreement, under which purchases of Hunter Biden Art Work will be kept confidential, from even the artist himself to avoid ethical issues as Family Members tries to sell a product with highly subjective value. There are obvious questions, serious questions about Hunter Biden being able to do this, ari. The White House was just asked about this and Jen Psaki responded with a scripted remark, listen. After careful consideration, a system established that allows Hunter Biden to work in his profession within reasonable safeguard. He has the right to pursue artistic career, just like any child of a president has a right to pursue a career. All interaction regarding selling of Art And Setting of prices would be handled by professional gallers. Sandra child was interesting word to use, hes 51 years old. Challenge that Washington Post Points Out, among many, foreign government could front someone to make a purchase, right . If we dont know who the buyer is, lobbyist could try to buy the art to buy goodwill from the White House. Many problems and it seems the White House is defending it. Ari to use phrase, paint fuller picture of what is going on here. Washington post, which wrote this story, they quoted Art Expert saying that Hunter Bidens drawings are really like a Screen Saver, that is the value of them. It Looks like a Screen Saver on tv. They can sell for up to had 500,000 . This is not about the highest industry standards, this is about fillial standards, meaning he is son of. He is the son of president , someone wants to give him 500,000. This stinks to high you know what, solution is Transparency Issue not secrecy, everyone should know who is paying, who they are and exactly how much. Let hunter do this all in daylight if it is ethical. Sandra why do you think they are defending that, appeared she read a scripted remark knowing they would be asked about this. Among the other chemicalings the post Points Out, not only is biden previously accused, Hunter Biden, trading in on his fathers name, latest vocation is in a field works do not have a tangible fixed value. Undisclosed funds. Are you suggesting the sums of the purchases were disclosed this should be okay . Ari i dont think it would be okay, i think people could judge and probably be feeding frenzy, 500,000 for a Screen Saver, someone buying influence. Soft biden Press Corps would object and wouldnt do it, advantage of transparency. The reason why, Sandra Issue the White House is doing this, crystal clear. You have seen it in Joe Bidens behavior on every ethical issue that involves his son. He defends his son at all costs, whether his son did right or wrong. To the degree there is legitimate question about whether Joe Biden lied when he said he had no knowledge of Hunter Bidens Business Dealings and pictures of his laptop have shown him having meetings with Hunter Bidens business partners. This is the president instructing his team, my son will get every benefit of the doubt, No One will say anything critical. He has done everything right. We will support my son. The White House is supposed to investigate, check everything, see if they do. White house Press Corps, i should say. Sandra fair points. We are expecting to hear from the president. Big tech companies. Hope you will stay with us for that. Thanks for joining us. Ari thank you. Sandra the piece Points Out many of the challenges, but Ethics Experts and Art Critics suggesting that Bidens Art would never be priced so high, benjamin, if he had a different last name. Important question to be asked. Benjamin it is an awful lot of money, it is remarkable. I am not sure who would pick the gallerist who would sell his art, that money will be coming to him one way or the other, a lot of big questions. When it comes to Michael Avenatti, interesting one, too. Due diligence, what were Media Companies doing due Dill Jeps when they had him on 154, that is practically every single weekday during a year. No one thought to ask, they were happy because it was attacking president trump. It turned out to be, he was a fraud all along. Sandra amazing to Look back at that Media Montage and those who considered him serious contender for the White House. Benjamin remarkable. It became a fixture in washington for six months. U. S. Capitol will turn the page from it is fencing been up ever since, details on what is in store. Sandra and President Biden taking flack over u. S. Troops in afghanistan. Are we leaving forces at the mercy of the taliban. Need to step forward and get this right, we provided billions in resources to do that, we were prepared to continue spending to help with institutional capabilities and military capabilities.

Benjamin President Biden facing criticism for his decision to pull u. S. Troops out of afghanistan, withdrawal is 90 complete. Some officials fear it could endanger afghan allies who risked their lives serving alongside american forces. James valdes is chairman of No One Left Behind, a nonprofit. Thanks for joining us. Put aside whether it is the right time to leave, pull troops out of afghanistan and Look at what happens to allies Left Behind. We spoke to a congressman who told the story about his interpreter who was beheaded while waiting for a visa, along with Family Members of his. It is a real concern at the moment. Tell us if you think there are adequate protections in place for interpreters and allies and how we could get them out . First off, no, there is not. The president s speech left more questions and weve been hearing from veterans who want more details. What is going to happen to their allies, specifically we have got a number of people that your viewers may know about, representative crenshaw being one of them. His interpreter died in the blast that took his eye. Haley sponsored two of his interpreters. Pete, on your program, as well. This united veterans from every generation, all we want from the White House is more clarity. The Speech Yesterday did not sync with what the secretary said a month ago in responding to representative mccaul. Benjamin what action would you like to see him take . We believe President Biden is sincere, he wants to take care of our allies. Timeline for evacuation seems to be off, talking approximate about moving 9000 families, probably 50,000 people in the course of a month. That is the largest Evacuation Or Relocation of u. S. Ally necessary 46 years. Seen little effort and resources going into this that were aware of. We need to see what countries they are going to and understands how fast the process will be expedite said. Benjamin uhhuh. I want to play something President Biden said yesterday in his speech and get your response afterwards. Taliban takeover of afghanistan now inevitable . No, it is not. Why . Because you have the afghan troops have 300,000 wellequipped, wellequipped as any army in the world and an air force, again, something like 75,000 taliban. It is not inevitable. Benjamin President Biden made that number point yesterday. 300,000. You have served out there, do you think that is realistic they can hold back the taliban . It is very hopeful, benjamin, i know you have been over there, as well. We hope they will. I worked at bagram, the united states left a week ago, leaving 5000 detainees at the prison here. My fear is they will attack the prison first. Prior to this meeting with you, i heard 85 of districts are under taliban control. It is trending in a bad direction. Benjamin talk about what your organization does and how people can support it. Great. Thank you, benjamin. No one Left Behind has been around eight years advocating for interpreterss through three administrations, seven congresss, five secretaries of state and seven secretaries of defense. This is not a new issue. Here we are, our organization has helped build bipartisan support in congress so that when families get here our organization can help resetel them. Weve helped 2500 families since we began and preparing to scale to meet hopefully about 9000 interpreters and their families, 50,000 people by september 11th. Benjamin there are a lot of people talking about just how much these People Sacrifice for the u. S. When you Look at immigration, these people worked hard, they come with good backgrounds, they are security checked. We have issues on the southern border, these people deserve to be on the top of the list coming in. I conquer. A good friend pointed to this, september 11, 20 years ago, information between the f. B. I. And cia. 20 years later, we are having Information Sharing where Department Of State is not sharing with department of Defense And Vice Versa And Cant Pross Visas for 31 2 years and the Law Calls for nine months. It is a very frustrating situation to be in, especially 20 years later. Benjamin james, i have to cut in, President Biden is coming up, signed executive order. Lets go to the president now. President biden good afternoon. Were in the midst of historic economic recovery. Because our successful Vaccination Program Strategy has been working and the immediate relief through The American Rescue Plan has brought back our economy from the worst economic crisis in nearly a century, america is now on track. Were on track for the highest economic growth in 40 years. The highest Growth Records on record. We designed our economic strategy to be durable through the Ups And Downs that come with recovery. There are Ups And Downs. The american Rescue Plan was designed to help people, not just all at once issue but over the course of a full year. So we can continue supporting families, small businesses, state and local budgets to help them weather Ups And Downs. And now that the economy is back on track, were making progress on the second phase of our strategy, ensuring longterm growth. That is what my build back better including american Families Plan and bipartisan Infrastructure Plan we reached last month, what they are about, longterm. To keep our country moveings, we have to take another step, as well. I know you are all tired of hearing me during the campaign and since ive been elected president , talk about it. That is bringing fair competition back to the economy. I will be signing shortly executive order promoting competition. To lower prices, to increase wages and to take another critical step toward an economy that works for everybody. Heart of american capitalism is a simple idea. Open and fair competition. That means if your companies want to win your business, they have to go out and they have to up their game. Better prices and services, new ideas and products, competition keeps the economy moving and keeps it growing. Fair competition is why capitalism has been the worlds greatest force of prosperity and growthing. By same token, competitive economy means companies must do all they do everything they do to compete for workers. Offering higher wages, more flexible hours, better benefits. What weve seen over the past few decades and less competition and more concentration that holds our economy back. We see it in big agriculture, in Big Tech, big pharma. The list goes on. Rather than competing for consumers, they are consuming their competitors. Rather than competing for workers, they are finding ways to gain the upper hand on labor and too often, the government has made it harder for new companies to break in and compete. Look at what that means for family budgets. Take Prescription Drugs, just handful of companies control the market for many vital medicines, giving them leverage over everyone else to charge whatever they want. As a result, americans pay 2. 5 times more for Prescription Drugs than any other leading country. And nearly one in four americans struggle to afford medication. Another example, Hearing Aids, right now if you need a hearing aid, you cant walk into a pharmacy and pick one up over the counter. You have to get it from a tr or specialist. Not only does that make getting Hearing Aids inconvenient, it makes them considerably more expensive and harder for new companies to compete, innovate and sell Hearing Aids at lower prices. As a result, pair of Hearing Aids can cost thousands of dollars. That had is a big reason why just one in seven americans with Hearing Loss actually use Hearing Aids. Another example. Internet services. More than 65 Million americans live in a place with only one highspeed internet provider. Research shows when you have limited internet operation, you pay up to five times more on average than families in places with more choices. That is what a lack of competition does, it raises prices you pay. It is not just consumers getting hurt. Big ag is putting squeeze on farmers, small and family farms, firsttime farmers like veterans Coming Home and black and latino and indigenous farmers, they are seeing Price Hikes for seed, lopsided contracts, shrinking profits and growing debt. Lack of competition hurts workers, as well. In many communities, there are a handful of employers left competing for workers. Think of Company Towns across appalachia, other parts of the country. One big corporation runs the show. Corporations have that kind of lfrj over workers, pushing down it pushes down advertised wages up to 17 . Competition decreases, businesses dont feel the pressure to innovate or invest in the work force. That hurts working families and it hurts our economy. All told between rising prices and lowering wages, lack of competition costs median american household 5000 a year. Look, im a proud capitalist. I spend most of my career representing corporate state of delaware. I know america can succeed unless american business succeeds. Let me be very clear, capitalism without competition isnt capitalism, it is exploitation. Without healthy competition, big players can change and charge whatever they want. And treat you however they want. Too many americans, that means accepting bad deal for things that you cant go without. So we know weve got a problem, a major problem. We also have incredible opportunity. We can bring back more competition, to more of the country, helping entrepreneurs and small businesses get into the game, helping workers get a better deal, helping families save money every month. Good news is, weve done it before. Nearly 1900s, president Teddy Roosevelt saw economy dominated by giants like standard Oil And Jp morgan railroad. He took them on and won. He gave the little guy a fighting chance. Decades later, during the great depression, his Cousin Franklin Roosevelt wiped out scores of small businesses crushing innovation, he ramped up antitrust investments, saving families billions in todays dollars. And helping set the course for sustained economic growth after World War ii. He also called for an economic bill of rights, including the right of every businessman large and small to trade in atmosphere of freedom from unfair Competition And Domination by monopoly, end of quote. Sandra you have been listening to President Biden talking about the states of the u. S. Economy, launching 72 initiatives to boost competition in our american economy. He will be signing executive order, as he just moengszed, promoting initiatives across a dozen agencies, his aim is to reduce corporate consolidation, Rauls A Crackdown on Big Tech, benjamin. Jeff it seems as if that was billed as sort of attack on Big Tech and they were going to break down Big Tech. It seemed to be so much more than that. He talked about being able to buy Hearing Aids over the counter, talked about farmers and so many other industries, which i was not expecting. This is a sweeping, sweeping bill. I wonder if we can bring in ari, get his views on what exactly this means. Ari. Sandra hey, ari. Ari well, ive seen this type of thing before, it is hodgepdge. On the Hearing Aids, that sounds meritoruous, everybody can agree, you want more competition and lower prices. Sandra sure. Ari but who is the biggest force in American Society that is aentscompetitive . It is the Federal Government. When the president is talking about peoples wages, think about the anticompetitive nature when the president and democrats in congress passed 15,00 a Year Bonus to be upemployed, the extra, the excess unemployment checks people get that creates incentive for people to stay home and not work. You can make Money Tax free for not working. This is anticompetitive. I want to examine each detail what the president s announcements are, industry by industry, some may be good, some may be bad. Dont be fooled, it is government is the biggest problem when it comes to economy, innovation and competition. Sandra the White House out lined initiatives, including lower Prescription Drug prices, you heard him detail, allowing Hearing Aids to be sold over the counter and greater Skrut Nee of mergers, especially by dominant internet platforms. It is widely broad cast this a move President Biden planned to take. Ri, im a proud capitalist, he said, capitalism without competition is not competition, proud capitalist, interesting moment to hear from the president who touted that all along, said so in his campaign. At a time when some many policies be being pushed by the far left go against the grain of capitalism. Ari yeah, be fooled, proud Trojan Horse carrying the progressive agenda into the White House. Not a proud capitalist. Sandra that is the president. Well continue to monitor his comments from the White House. A lot of what he has been Rolling Out is posted to the White House and Jen Psaki just commented on a lot of what the president is Rolling Out, as well. We will leave it there, ari fleischer, thanks for hanging on with us. Head into Brandnew Hour here, beginning with biden White House cleaning up a mess after health and human Services Secretary implied the government has a right to know peoples private health information. Good afternoon and welcome, everyone. Im Sandra Smith in new york. Im Benjamin Hall in for john roberts. Xavier becerra says it is the governments right to know if americans have been vaccinated or not. Ron johnson calling big brother becerra. Bigbrother mentality from critics who say biden administration, door to Door Vaccination Push goes too far. Sandra this coming as alums of Obama Administration are calling for the Covid Vaccine to be mandatory for all americans. If you have not gotten your shot, you might need to roll up your sleeve again. Coming up, well tell you what you need to know if you got the pfizer vaccine. Well start with the backlash over the biden White House increasingly wanting a part of Peoples Health decisions. Marie harp is standing by with their takes. Benjamin correspondent Jacqui Heinrich starts us off. Good afternoon, Secretary Becerra trying to correct the record after that interview sparked some backlash. He tweeted comments i made today are being taken wildly out of context. To be clear, government has no Database Tracking who is vaccinated. Encouraging people to step up or get vaccinated. Jen psaki made clear folks going door to door are not government employees, local organizers encouraging people to get vaccinated. This Community Outreach has been funded in part by covid relief money. It is something going on since april and it is something where weve seen impact in states where there are lower vaccination rates. It is something we will continue to work with local groups to do and disservice to the country and to the people who may lose their lives, Family Members to provide inaccurate disinformation at a moment were still fighting a pandemic. The White House is under pressure to Ramp Up Vaccination efforts. Former Obama Administration officials believe there should be a mandate. Kathleen sebelius told the New York Times shes had it with Tip Toeing around the issue of mandates. The White House praised decision from private sector entsities to mandate vaccines calling it innovative step. The White House is working to clear up confusion after pfizer sent that announcement last night seeking approval for a third shot, Booster Shot, the Cdc And F. D. A. Put out statement last night saying if you had your vaccine at this point, you dont need a booster, the White House today had to confirm that, saying at this time, that is not a requirement, they are letting science determine what happens next. Americans who have been vaccinated, dont need to be planning for a Booster Shot. Benjamin. Benjamin thanks. Sandra bring in panel, charlie hurt, Fox News Contributor Marie Harp and Fox News Contributor, i love having both of you on, nice, healthy debate. Charlie i love being with both of you. Sandra fun friday panel, for sure. First to xavier becerra, the Hhs Secretary saying it is the Governments Business to know which americans have been vaccinated. It is it, charlie . Short answer is absolutely not. But i love how after he got in all that trouble, he said his words were taken wildly out of context. By wildly out of context, i think he means word for word verbatim what he said. This is the problem when you put a political hatchet man. He went to law school, no medical background. He is a lawyer, been in politics entire life and you put him in position like Hhs Secretary, he talks politics and making political decisions when he has no idea about medical issues. And it is a real problem. I think it does reveal the biden Administrations Everything within the biden administration is political. I mean, this is pretty stunning, if you stop and think about it. Being prochoice is out the window. Medical privacy is out the window now with the democratic party. It is all about giving the Government Power to make decisions that should be left to patients and their doctors. Sandra and to individual americans. Marie, do you agree with this . The reason i had to Look down when i read becerras words is because they are in quotations, i took his own words and reread them. Was there any miscommunication that he wants the government to have access to who has been vaccinated and who has not . I dont think that is what he was trying to say and that is why he tweeted today and cleared up there is absolutely no vaccination database, the government is not taking that information. What they are doing is putting out raw data numbers about which states are doing better and which states are doing worse. That is public health good, helps us understand what areas we need to be more careful in. My dad lives in missouri, im more worried because the numbers are lower there. Private businesses, universities, those organizations can and i would argue, should absolutely insist their employees or students are vaccinated and people should not take this quote to mean anything, except for what he said today, there is no database, but government wants more people vaccinated. Recent deaths, over 99 are in people who are not vaccinated. We need more people to get vaccinated across this country. Sandra if i were to see the other side of this, charlie and the other side of your initial point, when you go back to his initial words, it is absolutely the Governments Business. It is Taxpayers Business if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from Contracting Covid and helping reopen the economy, so hes saying, if taxpayers are on the hook, then certainly we need your private health information. Does he have a point . Yes, they have become fiscal conservatives, welcome to the fight. That is great. When it comes to medical privacy, theyve become like the taliban, a real problem. Im delighted to hear the administration whoa, whoa, whoa. Ann Marie Harp, who i love, saying we dont want to have lists. I like to find common agreement about these things and i agree, the vaccine is important and it has its purposes, but having open discussion about how valuable this vaccine is and the dangers of the vaccine for younger people who dont need it in the first place is very important. Sandra allow marie to respond, pushing back on the comment about the taliban and the comparison. Marie, go. Charlie, you are my friend, we can debate politics, bringing the taliban about vaccines, that is not helpful, it is not useful, it is offensive because i argue something different to you and i dont think you were trying to offend me, i will give you benefit of the doubt. That language is scaring people from getting the vaccine. All kinds of vaccines are mandated in country in schools, workplaces that address diseases, this should be no different from that and should be more important because it is such a deadly transmissible disease. That language has no place in this debate, it just doesnt. All the more important not to shut down honest debate about the pluses and minuses of a vaccine for young people. Sandra well leave it there. As promised, a good debate. I love you both. Sandra we know, thank you, charlie. Thanks, charlie, thanks, marie. Benjamin you heard about a pfizer Booster Shot, the company wants approval for Jab Number three. What to know if you got the first pair of pfizer shots or what if you got Moderna Or J j ahead. Live in afghanistan, locals say the story is not just the tail ails comeback. Sandra they tell us it is both the Terror Growth is back, but also more brutal than ever before. Seen yore foreign Affairs Correspondent is live on the ground in kabul, it is evening there. Greg. Sandra, benjamin, we have been on the ground for less than 24 hours in this country. It is clear this taliban offensive is the real thing. We heard from the leadership of 8 Militant Organization a short time ago, they are claiming they can draw 85 of this country. That has been denied by the government. It is an exaggeration, they are certainly on the move. They seized another providence near herat and control the border going into iran. This as the Afghan Military is underperforming, another 300 soldiers fled to iran today. The scene in kabul, Look'>Take A Look at what We Saw and what we heard. Kabul 2021 is a relatively modern, bustling city. There are fears here about the taliban and concerns about the loss of u. S. Support. Everybody, every second, every minute, we are in fear, we live in fear. You live in fear. Yeah. Before we experience these people, before dangerous, now they are more dangerous than before. This is something that happens in afghanistan because of the withdrawal of the u. S. Troops. In fact, a lot of people we talked to today were concerned about the u. S. Troop withdrawal, the speed and the manner it was done, especially from the main base at bagram. 20 years ago, i was here for fox the first time, before 9 11, the taliban was in charge. Now threat is looming again. Back to you guys. Sandra greg, you gave us a sense on the ground, walking through kabul, talking to people there, that sense of fear they live with. Absolutely, they have known what the taliban was like, they dont like the taliban. They are fed up with this government, too. It is corrupt and not serving the country. Kabul right now is calm, the big cities have not yet been taken by taliban. But it could be just a matter of time, guys. Benjamin greg, if they are not that confident in th leaders, who do people on the streets feel will guide them forward in this new era . Were seeing today, benjamin, worrying sign, War Lords in the country are coming out and saying that they will take matters into their own hands, they will revive Civilian Milittia that tore apart this country in Civil War many, many years ago, people dont want that either. A lot of bad choices facing the people of afghanistan right now. Sandra greg live in kabul, thank you for reporting from there. We are following developing news at this hour.

Im scrolling down to see, he was asked a followup question, benjamin, you said there will be consequences, will there be, to which he answered yes, describing the call as you just heard as going well. It went well said the president. Again and again, we hear president Vladamir Putin saying this happens in our country, but it is nothing to do with us. Some point we need to make it clear, we will hold the russian state accountable. So many hacks coming from russia the moment, how many is too many . We have to figure that out, we dont know. Sandra good stuff. To the developing story we mentioned just before the break. Passengers describing near hijacking above alaska and the plane aiming straight for the ground. Jonathan hunt putting the details together for us, what happened, jonathan . The teenager at the middle of this incident was suicidal and willing to kill everyone else on the flight. 18yearold jayden had boarded the small Cessna Plane along with four other passengers and the lone pilot. They were heading from bethel in southwestern, alaska. According to alaska trooper, mcdaniel, he had asked to fly the plane earlier during the flight and initially asked to sit in the unoccupied copilot seat. Both requests were denied by the pilot. He was sitting in the Second Row behind the pilot, no separate cockpit on the type of cessna they were flying in. About five minutes after he asked to fly the plane, he grabbed the controls and pushed the plane into a nose dive. Passengers said they thought they were going to die. Apparently the pilot pushed lakekamaroff away and passengers grabbed him and held him down while the pilot regained control of the plane. The affidavit says Lake Circumstance Ameroff said he was trying to end his life. He has been in therapy, but he said it hasnt helped. Terroristic threatening, attempted Firstdegree Assault and thirddegree assault. Sandra. Sandra what a story. Jonathan, thank you. Sure. Sandra benjamin. Benjamin disgraced California Life Michael Avenatti cry nothing Court Yesterday as he was sentenced to 21 2 years in prison for attempting to extort 25 Million from nike. Take with james freeman, Assistant Editor for Wall Street Journal and Fox News Contributor. Thanks for being with us, james. The judge said Michael Avenatti was drunk on power and operated as if laws didnt apply to him. Perhaps Look no further than media Appearances Day in and day out. That is how often he appeared, 122 times on cnn. 108 on msnbc. Listen to the praise he was getting regularly. You got lucky tonight, back with attorney Michael Avenatti, he is main player sitting beside me right now. Not let you cheat. Guess, his name is Michael Avenatti. Look, i think you are doing a hell of a job, i dont think you are in this for money. To me, you are like the holy spirit, all places at all times. Hes out there saving the country. Benjamin the holy spirit, james, what do you say . That media worship, im glad you read those clips, saying he appeared more than 250 times on news shows in a single year doesnt quite cover it until you see the absolute worship coming from many media pundits. Brian on cnn and others were promoting him as a serious President Candidate for 2020. And the Washington Post said maybe not president , but i love you, why dont you run for congress. It was absolutely Media Adoration for what turned out to be and should have been obvious to a lot of people at the time, completely dispickable character. Now a convicted felon going to prison and facing other charges. Benjamin why do you think the media was eager to praise him without doing due diligence. They just put him on and happy to hear what he said. Why . Well, he was happy to go on those shows to attack donald Trump And Trump appointees. I hope whatever people think of Donald Trump, they would Look at this episode and see real corruption of the media that occurred where the normal standards were thrown out the window. A character like avenatti, if politically useful shows up and immediately given this loving, constant coverage. It really is not just media failure. Remember, all 10 democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee immediately embraced avenattis claims against then judge brett kavanaugh, they were completely unfounded, disgraceful. We have a justice brett kavanaugh, because charges were found to be bogus. It was appalling when you Look at how this man was embraced by so many across the Left And Media policies. Benjamin it is interesting jonathan hurley, we have on air often, said he told Michael Avenatti he was one of the most gifted students he had ever taught. It makes me wonder what happened along the way to send him down this path. You dont know if it was the Media Appearances or something else. What do you make of him . Well, the avenatti told the judge as part of his tearful Comment Today that he really hadnt started out this way. He felt like he had been a good lawyer who lost his way. It is difficult to say. Weve seen how hes been convicted of extortion, fraud, hes facing other Bank And Tax charges when he denies. Hes also facing separate cases, hes accused of stealing money from clients. Hes denied the Charges Issue but so far the public record is very ugly and i think obviously i cant speak to how he was as a Law Student with professor turley, but the recent record is appalling. I hope for accountability in the press for the way they promoted this guy. I guess we shouldnt bet on it. Benjamin certainly has opportunity now to turn over a new leaf, well see if that happens. Thank you. Sandra. Sandra thank you, arrest in the murder of a pro golf player, on a georgia course. But the mystery there is far from over. Were waiting to find out the secret cops say the killer wanted to Cover Up and how it ties to two bodies found at the tenth green. The latest on that bizarre story and the Cover Up.

A man under arrest in this case. Cops Look for how it connects to two other victims also found dead on the Golf Course. Here is more on this. Hi, sandra, it Looks like this might be in part a wrong place at the the wrong time scenario, at least for one victim. Talk about the major arrest. Police have 23yearold brian Anthony Roden in custody, murder, aggravated assault and two counts of kidnapping and more charges could be coming. He killed golf pro gene stiller, they found him shot to death on Pine Tree Golf Course north of atlanta on Saturday. 46yearold Henry Valdez and Paul Pierson were found dead in a white Dodge Ram Pickup Truck on the same course. Right now, we dont know a motive or where roden shot these men. When it comes to gene stiller, it is believed he was not targeted, rather he may have witnessed a crime that was happening and was caught in the aftermath as the suspect tried to get away. Listen. That is something were exploring, we feel confident there was no relationship between the Shooter And Mr. Gene stiller. A horrible tragedy. Police are trying to piece together the connection between roden and two other men found shot in that Golf Course. Sandra. Sandra that story for us, we learn brandnew details. Benjamin. Benjamin to alarming rise in Road Rage incidents. Five drivers killed since last Saturday with shootings averaging one every 18 hours in the u. S. Here is more. William. Weve all seen it or maybe even done it, the honking, the tailgating, cutting somebody off, maybe in retaliation to an ark aggressive driver. As it turns out, Someone Everyday is shot at, injured or killed because of Road Rage. We will take you to houston. Right now there is a Press Conference with a Mayor And Father of a 17 year old who was Killed Thiseck wo week. He said they were on their way home, traded Hand Gestures with the driver of a buick, who followed the family before firing shots, killing 17yearold david castro. Manhunt underway, reward in detroit, a firefighter got in a Traffic Altercation with josy, they got into an argument, pulled into a Gas Station and he shot dombrowski and he is charged with murder. If you are Looking for why, some call it coverage. Combination of Road Rage and covid. The common thread, often a middle finger, some drivers cannot accept and see as a challenge. The best advice i can give, if you think something like that is escalating, take the next i. Someone lost their life for really no reason on tuesday night. It is just tragic. It was tuesday in minneapolis, outside that, little League Coach and his 15yearold son were driving home, again Traffic Altercation, someone in the white suv opened fire, Bowden Lost Control of the car and crashed. His son gave him crashing pr, his father died in his arms. In the last four years on average, about 22 people die or are injured or 22 every month, now that is 42 over the last six months. Back to you. Benjamin incredible statistics. William in los angeles, thank you. Sandra thank you. The extreme crime american cities are now seeing is not new for the city of chicago. Nobody understands that more than our next guest, her son was shot and killed 15 years ago while unloading Music Equipment outside of a church on the south side. Shes made it her mission to make her community a safer place. Pamela boftley joins us now. Thank you for being here, it is so painful to hear your story. I cant imagine for you to live it. The pain you must feel everyday. I know that is why you have made it your mission to help stem this violence. What do you believe can be done, especially in your city, chicago . You know what, thank you for having me here today and exactly, i want to talk about my son. My son terrell was at the age of 18. His life was taken on the grounds of a church, place should have been safe. He was going to college, doing the right things. My husband and i were protecting him best we could. Somebody came by shooting. That is story we hear often in our city of chicago, not all over chicago, 15 communities people dont seem to care about. In chicago right now, we have 2130 people has been shot and we have 387 people that is dead. It seems like sometimes we feel hopelessness, we feel like people dont care. And these kids, young people, they are striving to be somebody and do the right thing. Some of the things i think some things in chicago, major promise is that when you listen to the news, they say gangrelated. So in chicago, how can you say gangrelated and destroy Somebodys Character when the cases are not filed. Terrell was not in a gang. They tried to, he is a black young man, tried to put that in Chicago Tribune on him to say he was in a gang. They didnt know him. My husband had to go out front to defend my sons character. We were trying to find out for one, Terrells Life was taken, he had to defend his character. That is a lot, that take place a lot in our city of chicago. We have over 80 of cases on south and West Side that is unsolved, not being solved because a lot of being deployed downtown protect downtown chicago, that community and not take cases on the south side, south and West Side of chicago. That is one problem. If you are 80 of the time, you can get away with shooting somebody, you will continue to do that. We notice when other cases, that is when it is black people. Other cases on the North Side and white people shot. 80s of cases solved. We need our cases solved. We need people to pay attention and just so you know, purpose is a group of parents whose children ended by gun violence. We go out and try to solve our own cases. We do get information. The third thing, we need j. B. , our governor, and our mayor to declare chicago just like new york did, a State Of Emergency so we can get the proper federal funds to cease this violence. Sandra ask about leadership in just a moment. You are a mother on a mission, no doubt about that. Our hearts hurt for you, weve been showing pictures of your son and you. He was helping unload Drum Equipment into church to aid the choir in the church. There is an Activist Uncle of the onemonthold baby who was shots in that city seeking out and calling on leadership to do something. Listen here. Who else do we need to talk to so we can down crease this, i will not say stop it, it is impossible to stop violence. Its been happening since i was a little kid. The Mayor Cant do it. The Government Cant do it. Who else and place. I know other people say they care, people can talk about it. You have to be boots on the ground. Sandra there is questions about the Police Presence in some areas of your city, i dont know if you know this, im from chicago. There was a time during this violence We Saw it in certain parts of the city. We talked about the south side, you mentioned the North Side. It is prevalent all across the city. There is a big conversation, a political one, about Police Presence and a defund the Police Movement in some cities and you hear that from some. There are questions over the impact that had on police moral. Do you believe in these communities that they want more of a Police Presence or less . No, we dont want more Police Presence. Police come after the fact. We need investments and we have so many people on the ground working. We dont need more police, more police is not the answer. I am asking for more detectives, not more police because my fear is, i have two other sons. Not ome, im a mother who lost a child to gun violence. My other fear is my other two sons, i dont want a policeman to shoot them, take their lives. When they pullover, a black person driving, like my sons, my fear is sandra do you believe this is a Community Issue . Do you believe the community can solve this on their own . I believe the community can do it, if we have the resources, we ask for economic development, we ask for certain things in our community. I know the community can do it, come out and solve this Black By black, solve this with the proper resources. Sandra quickly, we are running out of time. Lori lightfoot didnt ask for federal help from Donald Trump, she is asking for help from Joe Biden. You are asking for resources, are you calling on Mayor Lightfoot to act in any specific way .

Sandra it has been six months since rioters stormed the u. S. Capitol. Police are just about to take down all that fencing, starting tomorrow. Chad pergram is live at the White House. It is really something, it is a lot. Why have they decided to take it down now . The fence begins coming down tomorrow morning.

Norton believes the capitol is safe. People who live on Capitol Hill oppose, some few the fence as theater. It provides false sense of security and has disadvantages, not the way to go about it. Herrington used to Roller Blade across capitol grounds, with things opening up, people can go for a walk or have a picnic under a tree. Sandra. Sandra that is something.
