Prompting the white has to consider asking vaccinated americans to wear masks. But that was not the Message President biden sent during thAt Town all Last Night. Speak of those over the age of 12 who are able to get vaccinated, if you are vaccinated you shouldnt wear a mask. Sandra will be checking in with dr. Siegel and just a minute, but lets start with Jacqui Heinrich. Shes reporting live from the White House this morning. Hi, jacqui. Good morning to you guys. Top Health Officials and the biden administration and some White House officials reportedly having talks over whether to reimpose that recommendation for masks despite regardless, rather, of whether youve had the vaccine or not, because the Delta Variant is tearing through the country. There is discussion over whether to change the guidance because people have vaccine, it acts as an incentive not to wear a mask, that people who get the vaccine dont need it. It acts as an incentive, they want to keep it that way, but as a stubborn population resisting vaccines, weaker cases are happening in vaccinated people although they are not getting severely ill and dying, but the virus is spreading rapidly. 83 of new cases of the Delta Variant, according to new cdc data this week. Fatalities climbed, and study have shown that people infected with the Delta Variant had about A Thousand times more copies of the virus in the respiratory tracts than the original strain. They become contagious sunni and delta spreads about two times faster. The president said Last Night the cdc is considering changing its guidance for masks and schools. Listen. The cdc is going to say that what we should do is everyone over the dash under the age of 12 should probably be wearing a mask in school. Thats probably whats going to happen. Secondly, those over the age of 12 who are able to get vaccinated, if you are vaccinated, you shouldnt wear a mask. A number of cities and counties are imposing their own Mask Mandates or recommendations including l. A. County where they are required. Southern nevada, miamidade, new orleans, and the tip of Cape Cod where they are now recommended. The White House officials say any new guidance is going to come from the cdc. The Covid Team is briefing the president later this afternoon, but theres this looming fear, and your local City Start making capacity limit recommendations, and The Way this is chandon, the focus is to get those shots in the arms of half the country that is so far unvaccinated. Sandra Jacqui Heinrich live At The last 4s. Steele and dr. Siegel, good morning. We are going to play a clip from the president about two months ago. The date is may 13th. It is short and sweet. Watch. We missed the first clip of that. He said vaxxed or mask. How much has changed since then . A lot has changed, we have about 50 of the population thats been vaccinated, but we have the spreading Delta Variant, as jacqui just said. 83 of the new cases that we are isolating are the Delta Variant. Theres A Thousand more copies in your nose, A Thousand times more of it. Thats why we are hearing, you are vaccinated, but could you spread it, could you cause a mild case, could you get an asymptomatic case, all of that is increasingly possible. The key here is that in none of the people in the hospital, and almost none of the people who are dying, have been vaccinated. So a distinction needs to be made. The clip you tried to show is mask or vaccine. Let me tell you, someone i never quote on the show here, Mayor Bill de blasio, said something brilliant at a press conference. He said a vaccine is a canon, the mask is a pea shooter. Think about that for a minute. Too many people are afraid of the recoil of that canon, they are afraid its hurting their shoulder, but they are shooting at a viral wolf. I think the emphasis needs to be on the canon, not the pea shooter. Masks have been shown to work, they definitely work indoors, they cut down on community transmission. I think they have a role, but i also agree with the points that if you say masks or vaccines, you are undervaluing with the vaccine is, which is huge. Sandra ill put this percentage up on the screen showing thAt The Delta Variant is now 83 of all reported cases. I think we had a lot of Coronavirus Tests by now, i dont remember any portion of the test that reveals the strain or the variant. How do we know these cases are indeed the Delta Variant where someone goes to get a test . Thats a great question. Thats actually a genetic test that is done. The fda has always had the ability to do that, and the cdc, and theyve ramped It Up recently. They are doing it behindthescenes in the laboratory. Its not part of your pcr test. Frankly, it doesnt matter to you, an individual out there, which variant you have. Because it doesnt look like the variant makes you sicker. You are likely to have a mild case if you are vaccinated. And yet the same risk as the previous iteration of this virus if youre not vaccinated. So you dont have to say, uhoh, i got the Delta Variant, im going to be very sick, thats not true. But its problem is its about 300 more contagious, more transmissible. Bill the question at hand is whether or not they ask vaccinated and unvaccinated americans, when they mixed together in public places, whether or not they should put on the mask. Thats the Essential Question theyre trying to answer. Correct . Yeah, and i like The Way sandra find this a minute ago. I would choose recommendations versus mandates. Mandates are going to backfire. Everyone is fatigued, everyone feels superimposed with government overreach. Recommendations make some sense if you are indoors in a crowded place and you are vaccinated with someone who isnt, because you could carry it in your nose. If everybody were vaccinated, you dont need a mask. If youre not sure, the recommendation is there. But mandating it is going to be an enormous problem and its not needed if your vaccinated. The president was actually right Last Night about that. If you are vaccinated, you really dont need a mask, because the vaccine is protecting you. Its been on another topic here, tomorrow the Olympic Games are getting underway in tokyo, japan. Seven months later, the Winter Games will get underway in beijing, china. Just yesterday the Chinese Communist government said they would deny the request for the World Health Organization to come back and investigate the origins Of Covid yet again. How is this going to settle in with The World when they realize thAt The Chinese Communist government is, yet again, blocking the rest of The World from trying to figure out how this pandemic began . This is deeply disturbing, bill. As you know we have a unit here at fox looking into this deeply, that im a part of. I have to tell you, we were encouraged thAt Tedros came up and finally said that. Hes been taking a backseAt To that. I talked to Francis Collins earlier in the week who is increasingly concerned it could have leaked from the lab. Scientists are increasingly concerned about that. It is looking more and more like china doesnt want the truth to come out. Blaming the united states, frozen food, anything they can think of. But clearly we have to look into the labs. Bill Thank You. Marc siegel, come back very soon we shall consult you then. Sandra thanks, dr. Siegel. At least two of those Runaway Texas Democrats are back home after spending more than a week in washington, d. C. , protesting changes, of course, to the lone star states voting laws. Representative Philip Cortez is one of them and he tweeted this. I respect instead of my colleagues in washington, d. C. I stand by my convictions about full and open access to voting for all texans. Im here to work on that. Bill thats 2 of 60, right . [laughs] we are counting. Sandra well see whAt They have to say. Bill 9 minutes passed now. Tico very different views. Fox news getting exclusive video on the mexican side of the border where thousands of illegals are reportedly waiting to cross just as the president touting progress at a Town Hall Last Night about the number of migrants in custody. He said that. We have enabled a move significantly to change the number. There were thousands of people in custody with the Border Patrol. It is now cut by 90 , considerably down. Bill that was Last Night. Bill melugin with the take as he sees with his eyes and ears every Day And W texas. Bill, good morning. Bill, good morning to you. The administration can claim progress all they want, it is certainly not reflected in Border Patrols own numbers are what we are sitting on the ground here. If anything, the reason why they are no longer in custody as they are being handed off to hhs and then flown around the Country Part of the time. You can see over my shoulder we have yet another group of migrants have showed up to the Border Gate in del rio. Its probably the third or fourth group thats been here so far this morning. Take a look At The video was shot yesterday. We got a ride along with Texas Dps to really get an aerial look at whats going on here in del rio. Within just a minutes of lift off, we were already seeing groups coming across the Rio Grande and illegally entering the united states. These were Family Units who were not trying to get away, but we saw at least four or five of these groups is minutes into our Flight Walking across the Rio Grande, coming into the united states, and actively walking towards the border. You can see in the video, there are areas with piles of clothes left over all over the place in the brush. They cross, change out of their wet clothes, and start walking over. The pilots were telling us sometimes they have to deal with runners and people who dont want to be caught. Theyll Tape Carpet to the bottom of the issues so they dont leave footprints or tracks. But its really interesting to get this aerial perspective. Take a listen to whAt The pilot said he specifically looks for when hes up there. Looking for rafts, bodies crossing the water. On the river we are looking for possible vehicles up in the brush over there. That could be a live vehicle. What youre looking at now are some pretty remarkable exclusive videos from the mexican side of the Rio Grande. This is from ciudad acuna, the Mexican City across from w. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of migrants are gathering waiting to make the border crossing. You can see some of the migrants coming down The Hill, they bring their luggage with them, they show up on the mexican side, they will sometimes take their clothes off as they get ready to cross the Rio Grande. They walk through when the tide is lower theres not much of a risk of being stripped stomach swept away. We are told they are in communication with Each Other and tell Each Other whats the right place and time to cross, the best spot to do it. We see this happening every single day down here. The other side of the border is littered with paperwork, passports from countries all over the place, different i. D. Cards all over the place. Weve been finding people work on our side of the border. Its pretty wild. Take a look At This photo right here, its pretty heartwrenching. This is that Texas Dps found a dad and his 3yearold daughter, these migrants who had been abandoned, essentially, in the brush near eagle pass, texas, for eight days. They had come across with a group from mexico and they got separated from that group. Theyd been in the brush for eight days, the dad and his little girl, severely dehydrated, severely malnourished, bug bites all over them. Thankfully they were found by the texas troopers and are okay. He is a live look without drone in the Rio Grande valley, people being apprehended, our crew telling us more than 300 have come across and its not even 9 00 at local time. Well set it back to you. Bill every single day. Thank you, bill melugin. Sandra stunningly video showing the brazenness of shoplifters in california just s of dollars of clothing hitting a major retailer without a care in The World. Up next, more pictures from that. As we talk with the l. A. Police department and whats behind the spike in organized shoplifting, and how the force is now cracking down on it. Bill an exclusive report you cite yesterday on Fox News revealing how your tax dollars could be spent on far left agenda in schools.

Bill you can call this california stealing. Stunning video showing shoplifters have the upper hand in california. A couple croaks at a t. J. Maxx and l. A. , no sense of urgency. Broad daylight, casually walking out of the store loaded with merchandise. And they drive away. William La Jeunesse back on the story live in Los Angeles for us today. Hello, good morning. Bill, police say there is a simplex donation. Prop 47, which Governor Newsom supported, makes theft under 950 in misdemeanor, which effectively means police dont show up, prosecutors dont care, and theres no penalty for stealing. Those two men walk out of a t. J. Maxx with bags filled with stolen goods, No Fear of repercussions. Second reason, no bail. And he said he found half of those released from jail before trial did not show up for court, 55 were rearrested for a new crime while three. That said he was in San Francisco where thieves earlier this month at Neiman Marcus running off with expensive jewelry and handbags easily resold online. Governor newsome says none of this has to do with his support of Criminal Justice reform, and his support for l. A. D. A. George gascon. It is not prosecute misdemeanors. Yesterday he said the state should focus on Mental Health, drug treatment, and afterschool programs to reduce violence. We need to hold folks to account but well do it in the thoughtful and judicious way. Were not going back to the things The Way things were in the 80s and 90s. Organized Retail Theft is real, its dangerous, bold, and scary to see. Shoplifting is costing businesses here millions. This is a warehouse of stolen goods ready to be resold. Target is reducing hours to cut down on theft, and stores like walgreens and cvs are closing in california because many stores are at risk of theft. A Rite Aid Employee was killed confronting two men who attempted to leave the store with beer without paying. The national retail federation, bill, says l. A. And San Francisco ranked in the top five cities for organized Retail Theft. Bill william La Jeunesse, Thank You, sir. Sandra lets bring on Deanne Joseph of the Los Angeles police department. Thanks for being here. We see these thieves walking out of the store holding heaps of clothing over there arms, Duffel Bags filled with goods. Why is this brazen thievery happening . Where are they able to with this . This is saying that if you give a criminal element 1 inch, theyll take 3 yards. Thats whAt Theyve done. Its common sense. If you look At The video, these guys just walked in and walked out. Because theres literally no teeth in the law. Basically our political leaders have given them permission to steal, to rob, which can also lead to violence, as weve discussed with the walmart incident. It is horrific what we are seeing out there. Sandra the Felony Threshold under prop 47 was raised to 950, misdemeanors from 450 to 950. There has been a 30 drop in Felony Bookings after prop 47 was passed. We see crimes spiking, yet Gavin Newsom just said this. Listen. The last three decades, weve actually seen a significant decline of crime. You are seeing Crime Increase in Red States that have no Criminal Justice reform. Particularly gun related crime. I think that is an easy safe choice for folks. Sandra Gavin Newsom is saying crime is down in his state. Thats not what we are seeing. They are more brazen, they know they can get away with it. Weve given him the green light to commit crime. If i didnt have morals and values, i believe these guys are literally getting away with murder, and our politicians are responsible for it. Bottom line. They try to come up with bandaid solutions for the gaping Wound Theyve because, like this new legislation that was just promoted yesterday. The problem with that, the propositions he supported, they were immediately undercut as well as the radical District Attorney he supports and backs. Theyre going to create a revolving door. I believe its disingenuous and At The Dog And Pony show and its going to get worse before it gets better. Sandra i want to take your quick reaction from what we heard from President Biden At That Town Hall Last Night, asking about the drop in morale and are police department. Listen. Weve actually cut down on the number of police. Towns and cities arent spending as much money on it, theres not as much federal money. Whats happening is police are not wanting to be a cop. Raise your hand if you want to be a cop now. What do you think, huh . We need to give them the help they need to be better At Their job. Sandra deon, your reaction to that . Its not about the money. When i put on my badge and i went out there to protect and serve people, i felt a sense of pride in being able to give Communities Relief from the criminal activity of individuals who harm communities by putting them away and keeping them off the streets of these communities can have some relief. We have to get back to you, dont do the crime if we cant do the damn time. We need to get back to that. They want to make it about money and equipment, Police Officers across this country have pride. I dont get up in the morning relishing taking away someones freedom. What i do relish in, when there is a star being burglarized, when there is someone who has been raped, when i put the handcuffs on the individual, i give the community relief. When we dont see that, that kills our morale. When we have politicians who throw us under the bus, who prays rioters and protesters who vandalize and cause so much destruction, when you put these criminals on a pedestal and throw us under the bus, that is whats killing our morale. Im sorry, i respect the office of the presidency, but thAt They had in the Sand Moment for me right there. Sandra deon, really appreciate hearing your Perspective And Experience on that. Such an important thing right now when you see this Lawlessness Happening in cities like Los Angeles. Thank you. Bill that was a line from barretta, by The Way. Last Night Biden said the republicans are lying, he said he never said to Defund The Police. Last summer he was asked about it, he said absolutely when he was asked about taking money from Police Departments we allocated other places. We can redirect some of the police funding. That was last summer as a candidate, heres the question Last Night. How do you respond to republicans who try to paint you and your party is antipolice . They are lying. They arent saying Joe Biden is antipolice. Cops are not saying that about Joe Biden. They know me. Nick. Bill he says we need more policemen, not fewer, but we need them involved in community policing. That may be the case, that has the left have open and publicly said Defund The Police in a lot of places. Sandra you go back to the video at Tj Max, i think people are shocked by that. Walking out of the store, nobody even getting in The Way of them. In fact, quoted in an article, the employee at Tj Max had been told that in these specific circumstances it is not worth it for you to go and physically stop these people that are walking out with this inventory. They are just walking away. Bill i went to the Town Hall, did you see it . They had a couple hundred people there, the college of mount st. Joseph. The Cincinnati Enquirer reporting today, students told the inquirer that in addition to cementing questions, cnn asked them they voted for in the president ial election. It got my attention. Dont know if thats true or not but thats whats being reported. How would it be if fox did a Town Hall and asked who you voted for . And its the invitation to say yes or no if you can come in or not. Sandra you decide. [laughs] bill in the meantime, three major cases in st. Louis tossed out in the span of one week. Now a judge blasting the prosecutor, like shes under fired, Coming Up next. How much reacting to a reporting on the far left curriculum now being taught perhaps in our nations Public Schools . Thats next. This is whAt They believe. They say its a mistake. The only mistake is they got caught. Theyre embarrassed thAt They got caught in there trying to say never mind, never mind, we are going to do this quietly, because theyre trying to indoctrinate.

Bill 9 33, question now, is the biden administration walking back ties to a group pushing controversial teachings about race in 13,000 Public Schools . The Department Of Education saying it does not support the Abolitionist Teaching network, the atn. Thats a radical Activist Group that encourages to, quote, Disrupt Whiteness. Republican Congressman Byron donalds telling us yesterday the Groups Agenda has no place in the classroom. I do not stand for this Thought Process thAt The country is irreparably racist and that white people are irreparably racist and theres nothing they can never do accept become antiracist. Its not going to help our country become More Perfect Union which we frankly already are, people would stop demonizing our past. Lets learn about our past. Bill from the center of Urban Renewal and education, how are you doing . In morning to you, nice to see you today. Heres the statement from the Department Of Education, really the only Reaction Weve gotten so far. The department does not endorse these recognitions nor do they reflect our policy positions. It was an error in a lengthy document to include the citation. An error, okay. If thats the case, what now, whats next . The crumbs out all of your face, your hand is still in the dark, but you havent been eatig the cookies. Of course theyre not going , going todeny thAt They are trg a country into a marxist utopia. A collectivist national Education System will no longer work. Its time for money to follow children to school is that parents want. Because we are split in half. Our society is unraveling, that Civil Society is unraveling, because our common culture has collapsed. We are no longer one unit. We have secular and we have sacred. The sacred believe in personal responsibility, the seculars believe in collectivism. So this is not a place to push all of our children into one Environment And Pretend that we are going to be able to teach them any type of values that are going to be consistent with Each Other. Bill wow. Strong answer there. In case our viewers missed it, heres a portion of those who are members of the atn on a zoom call. Watch here. If you dont realize White Supremacy is in everything we do, weve got a problem. Im trying to help other white teachers troubled their internalized White Supremacy and antiblackness. Say loudly and clearly, reform is not enough. We cannot reform when the brokenness is in the foundation. Education cannot Save Us. We must save education. Bill it goes on from there. Heres a statement from one of the leaders. If you dont recognize that White Supremacy is in everything we do, then weve got a problem. Thats a quote they are. Keep in mind, that bill that was passed at The End of march, 1. 9 trillion, there was 122 Billion in that bill that goes to the Department Of Education. So what are they going to do with that money . Me know whAt Theyre going to do, thats why its time to dismantle the Department Of Education. Maybe they should be a movement of the biracials in the country to say, what are we supposed to do with that . What line to be getting for these reparations . What line to be get in when youre trying to force us to go against half of our being to say there racist somehow . There is a discussion its almost laughable if it werent so serious on the left, but theyve been pushing this agenda for the last 60 years. Conservatives are finding out the house has been on fire for quite some time, and sometimes you have to really rebuild the house. What we need to do is get ourselves out of a onesizefitsall Government Apparatus controlled by unions and start educating our children in the private environment that parents may want. Bill thanks for coming in. He brought the hammer for that, i do believe. Thank you for your time. Youre welcome. Sandra meanwhile, the rejection of a proposal by the World Health Organization to investigate the role Of Covid, that potential Lab Leak. A top chinese Health Official dismissed it as a rumor and the World Health Organization probe did not respect common sense. Greg palkot is live in Southern France on this for us. Hi, greg. Hi, sandra. More on that, a pretty definitive slamming of the door by beijing on the idea of another probe into covid19. A top chinese official saying today any investigation into covid which would include looking at a leak from a lab in wuhan, china, is, quote, impossible to accept. The theory was originally highly unlikely, but they now say that finding was premature. The china, the w. H. O. , and others thought of it was probably transmitted from animal to human, but the Lab Leak theory, accidental, even possibly intentional, has gained wider cadence even inside the biden administration. China for its Part Today also calling for another covid probe, saying he would have to look at other countries, as well, thAt The virus might even have come from a u. S. Military lab. Sandra, Todays Reaction from china confirms what ive been hearing from several experts that, in fact, we might never really find out what exactly happened inside china regarding covid19. Back to you.

Liberty. Bill now to this judge in st. Louis, Blasting Prosecutors in this city after cases dismissed in one week because they were unprepared. Some cases have been refiled, but in the other the defendant was released from jail. Mike tobin telling us the story from chicago. What about it, mike . This is kimberly gardiners office, the same Kimberly Garden who campaigned on the promise of making the Justice System more equitable for black people. Now you have cases falling apart, the evidence indicating their father dumbing to falling apart due to disarray and the Prosecutors Office. It took about the three Murder Cases in the past week that have been dismissed due to prosecutors either being unprepared or just not showing up altogether. In two of the cases refiled in the suspects remained in custody. In one case, the suspects got out in her office didnt know it. The office issued a statement that brandon can illicitly behind bars, later changed it when st. Louis police that he was out and At This moment still at large. The head of the public Safety Committee and the st. Louis City Council says gardner needs to come and explain whats going on in that office. Even a manager at mcdonalds will make sure their employees show up. Its not right. When you are letting murderers go out in a city that already has issues with murders, i mean, that is just absolutely bizarre. The postdispatch reports more than 100 turnover in the Prosecutors Office since gardner took office. Bill, back to you. Bill will be watching that. Mike tobin, Thank You, from chicago.

Across the globe there are challenges in the question is if the president is up to it. I think well see a Train Wreck with the administration this fall. That will leave the left and right upset and facing the elections midterm. Bill i remember early on, february or march, where voters said, i voted for Joe Biden but i didnt vote for this. When he think about suburban flight away from republican voters, lifted they say Kenai Groomers of my death have been greatly exaggerated . Clearly there are issues that must be talked about and recognized by millions of americans now. Added to thAt The attempt to make our Education System woke. We are seeing evidence of that. People are getting concerned about inflation and the president is dismissive of it. Theres a new poll out today from a centrist group that shows there are significant numbers thAt The more they know about the partisan socalled infrastructure bill, the american jobs plan, the administration said 3. 5 trillion but in reality its a lot more than that. The more they know about it, the less they like it. I think the administration is in an okay position today, but the Trend Lines are really bad. He could end up, as i said in my piece, with the image of the radical agenda in the minds of many Swing Voters and a democratic base that dont think hes gone far enough and fast enough and effective enough getting other things done starting with the takeover elections. Its now become some of the centerpiece of the leftwing agenda. Sandra what about the rising price of everything in our everyday lives, from food to fuel, karl . The president took a question on that Last Night. It seems the solutions he is offering in his policies is more government that will eventually lead to lower prices. Listen. If we pass the other two things im trying to get done, we will in fact reduce inflation, reduce inflation, because we are going to be providing good opportunities and jobs for people who, in fact, are going to be reinvesting that money and all the things were talking about. Driving down prices, not raising prices. Sandra thats the solution, to spend more money, karl . Hasnt worked at in the history of mankind. Inflation is too much money chasing too a few goods. The fact they spend a lot of government money, a lot of it backed by debt, some higher taxes on people who are working, and youre suddenly somehow going to be able to dampen down costs . I dont think thats the case. Whats interesting to me is that he talks about the jobs and yet hes talking about expanding things from universal prek to paid leave. You name it, its all in there. And theres no work requirement. So the government is going to give you a lot more free and not require you to be working or trying to work or looking for work. That is somehow going to create more jobs . Look At The jobs report today. A lot more unemployment claims today. Unexpected. And i think its because people are starting to price in whAt They are seeing from this government, which is a lot more spending, lots more freebies, and how are we going to pay for it . Sandra youre talking about jobless claims rising by 419,000 last week, an increase of 51,000. Thats pretty good. Thats a level not seen since early june, yet we are cutting a lot of checks and talking about massive amounts of spending still. Karl, thanks for joining us. Bill Thank You, karl. Sandra crime in chicago is getting so bad there, one family announces it is time to leave town. We are going to check in their next. Its impossible to stop violence.

Bill you, the other day, saw a carjacking and progress. What happened next . I get a Phone Call, actually it was my uncle. I get a Phone Call saying my uncle is being carjacked. Hes a pastor. He was coming home and getting out of the car, some young guys hopped out of the car and had to take it they did not get a chance to take the car, they just hopped out of the car and sped off. But my team was out there, we pulled up after that as soon as we got the call. We flooded over there, we stayed there, its about 10 00, 11 00 at night. Patrolling the community. Bill so here are the shooting so far in your town. Chicago, 1,802. That is as of july 20th. Gun violence in children, nationwide statistics, children killed, at least 869. Children entered, at least 2,29. Thats just nuts. Really off the charts. So your sister made a decision to leave, youre going to stay, you continue the push on the ground. What do you need . We just need more support. Like i said, once before, we are fighting every day in the streets. My team, even first responders working overnight to try and see how we can decrease some of this violence throughout our city. Its going to take us to Save Us throughout our city. No one wants to drop anything down and say, hey, we need the community to come together and speak out on these issues. If we can come together as a whole and help one another, its all about speaking out. Like i said, i know everybody around wants to see people have support, we have the support, so where is it . We can talk about it every day, but if we are not out here physically boots on the ground, talking to these neighbors every single day, nothings going to be done. And our englewood community, theyre working hard, our commander, are deputy, so much. And i know that getting tired.

Lets take in a couple weeks, maybe at some point your sister moves back and hopefully soon your niece will be out of any type of danger there, as well. Charles mckenzie in chicago. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Bill a new hour begins now, President Biden talking in a televised Town Hall in cincinnati Last Night. A big question today, how did it land for his party and the voters . Good question. Dana has got the week off. Im bill hemmer, nice to see you. Sandra good morning, everyone. Im sandra smith. Welcome to a Brandnew Hour of americas newsroom. Last night sparking a lot of online chatter on a whole host of issues. Progressives angry about his comments on the filibuster. Republicans will have plenty to say concerning his claims thAt They have been lying about the defund the Police Movement. Lets listen. Police arent doing their job, they should be held accountable. They should be fired if theyre not doing their job. How do you respond to republicans who try to paint you and your party is antipolice . They are lying. What about defunding the police . I never said Defund The Police. Bill Peter Doocy picks It Up, leading off this hour from the north lawn. Peter, good morning. Good morning, bill. White house officials are reiterating, the president doesnt want to Defund The Police, but thats not what he was asked. He was asked about people in his party, too. What he said is not consistent with this. Yes, i support the defund movement. Not only do we need to defund, we need to dismantle and start a new. By use the Word Defund . This is The Word coming from the streets. I am for defunding the police. To take things off the shoulders. In many cities in america, over onethird of the City Budget goes to police. So we have to have this conversation. What are we doing . The Room Cnn Test for Last Nights Town Hall was not filled to capacity. You can see it there. The whole point was to neatly make the case for vaccinations and update federal efforts, like to get the Vaccine Fda approved and get recommended for kids. The question is whether or not we should be in a position where you are why cant the experts say we know this virus is, in fact that its going to be we may know thAt The drugs are not temporarily approved, but permanently improved. The president also forcefully rejected because by democrats to get rid of the filibuster in congress so they can pass progressive priorities easier while they still have control. Theres no reason to protect it other than you are going to throw the entire congress into Chaos And Nothing will get done. Nothing at all will get done. Officials here are now reportedly discussing a plan to ask vaccinated people to mask up as a variants spread in this country. There is a Zoom Briefing with the Covid Team next hour. Bill let me take you back to the video you are showing, it seems like maybe a couple hundred people, maybe. I think you mentioned maybe half full, perhaps less than that. We have a picture, is there a further explanation as to why you go to ohio and you have a turn out this . Usually just for other local regulations or security, and you can see it there, that is something thAt The network would have negotiated with White House officials a few weeks back. But while they were on the ground, they could have had more people there, bill. Bill clear on that. Thank you, peter. Well talk to you a bit later. Sandra the White House differed that question to cnn and they said it was consistent with previous Town Halls. For more, lets bring in Louisiana Senator John kennedy. Good to see you. You can weigh in on that if youd like. To the point that President Biden was making when asked about the defund the Police Movement, he was asked more broadly where his party stood on that. As you heard in that montage, there are many democrats have talked about that over a time. Is the g. O. P. Lying when they attack democrats over that defund the Police Movement . In my opinion, sandra, President Biden is not telling the truth. Maybe George Washington could not tell a lie, but just about every politician since has mastered the skill. I dont mean to be ugly, but President Biden has a phd in it. Some politicians lie because its useful. Other politicians lie because they forget. Sandra what specifically are you saying hes lying about, senator . About cutting police spending, number one. If you look At The democratic party it talks exteny about reimagining the police. Among President Bidens most ardent supporters are the democratic mayors of most large cities. New york, chicago, l. A. , San Francisco, seattle, portland. Theyve all cut police spending. Theyve all talked about doing it. President biden has appeared with them many times and seen what a greAt Tosaid what a great job theyre doing. He certainly hasnt discouraged them. If i see a house burned down and dont call the fire department, i think im responsible. Bill last hour we had Deon Joseph on. Hes with the l. A. P. D. Listen to this. And we have politicians who throw us under the bus, who pays rioters and protesters, who vandalized and caused so much destruction, when you put these criminals on a pedestal and throw us under the bus, that is whats killing our morale. Bill its an amazing thing, they canvassed the country every day in these big american cities, and what we are dealing with is something they havent seen in decades. I know you know that. Back to the president. He was asked last summer if he supported taking money away from police department. He said yes, absolutely, that he agreed we can redirect some of the police funding. Thats not what he said Last Night. He said republicans like yourself are lying about him suggesting to defund. President biden is not telling the truth. That is just a fact, its been well documented. Your show has just documented it in the last 20 minutes. The problem that President Biden has is a problem with his party. Not all democrats, but many democrats, the whack jobs, to really do believe in defunding the police. They believe most cops are racist, apparently even the africanamerican cops. They think cops are guilty until proven innocent. I said that before, they think if a cop has to shoot a Bad Guy it is the Cops Fault always, but if the Bad Guy shoots a cop, its the guns fault. The american people see that. Actions have consequences, and when they deemphasize the importance of the police, crime rises. Duh. Thats been whats happening throughout america. Her President Biden to say, oh, no, ive never been part of that, dreamily vary. Let me say it again if i watch somebody start a fire and the house is burning down and i dont call the fire department, i am morally responsible. And he is. And he knows it. Sandra senator, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, it seems now the Delta Variant is causing fear over what happens next with the coronavirus crisis. But u. S. Envoy John Kerry seems to think thAt The priority, even though we are still battling this virus, should be Climate Change. Listen. The climate crisis, my friends, is the test of our times. We dont have the luxury of waiting until covid is vanquished to take up the climate challenge. Sandra should that be the priority, senator . Its not our Top Priority. Our Top Priority right now is the pandemic. And its getting people back to work. Co2, its a greenhouse gas. As you know, it traps heat. So does water vapor. The problem in reducing co2 is twofold. Number one, the zealots. Number two, china. We have got a lot of zealots, im a charitable person, i call them whack jobs, who dont see Climate Change as a discrete scientific problem. They see it as a religion based on their feelings. They want to get rid of Free Enterprise and turn The World upside down. The second problem is that we have reduced our Co2 Emissions in america since 2005. We reduce them by 14 . China in that period of time has increased theres about 70 . There arent boundaries in the atmosphere, there arent boundaries in space. If we reduce our Co2 Emissions and china raises there is 70 , and we wreck our economy to do it and china grow stronger as a result, who comes out the winner here . And not the environment, and not the united states. Bill senator, Thank You for your time. John kennedy, republican of louisiana. More to discuss, we shall next time. Sandra Thank You, senator. Bill Antony Blinken adjusting u. S. Priorities as he calls on the u. N. Human Rights Counsel to investigate racism in america. This is as the threats arise from russia and china, foreign adversaries. Rich edson picks up the story from there today. Good morning, bill. This is the argument for more than two Dozen House republicans, including the second ranking republican, congressman steve scalise. They have written Secretary Of State Antony Blinken claiming his indication to the u. S. Envoy, quote, suggest you are more concerned about american selfflagellation then you are about those Men And Women Facing Oppression overseas. Unfortunately, it is not the only questionable action you have taken on Human Rights policy. They accused him of cultural war diplomacy, flying the Pride Flag last month is a play to be excessively provocative. The embassy says the display shows the u. S. Respect for Dignity And Equality of lgbtq i plus people. The State Department says that apartment refuses to comment on correctional correspondence though defendant the Human Rights Counsel Inquiry saying it strengthens american credibility to advocate for Human Rights around The World. The spokesperson also referenced the Secretary S Comments generally come on the issue. Theres one more hallmark of our leadership here at home, and that is a constant quest to, as we say, form a More Perfect Union. That quest, by definition, acknowledges our imperfections. In their letter, these republicans are asking for all correspondence and communications At The State Department over the decision to invite the u. N. Envoy, and they want the Invitation And Information by august 15th. Bill . Bill Thank You, sir, nice to see you. Rich edson, State Department. Sandra that biden had administration backpedaling after an exclusive Fox News report about a curriculum pushing wokeness in our nations schools. Where it goes next.

Sandra more turbulence in the air with the faa reporting nearly 100 cases of unruly passengers just in the last week alone, bringing the total number of passenger incidents to more than 3500 since the beginning of the year. Can you say stressed out population . Officials say the cause of most of these is the Mask Mandates, with over twothirds of the disorderly conduct related to arguments over wearing masks. How many stories heavily reported where somebody sees a Flight Attendant saying they cant take off because a 2yearold doesnt have a mask on . Thats an issue. Bill i flew last weekend and it was very calm. Sandra i hope so bill hours after stein dominic signing off on the nord stream Pipeline, threatening more sanctions on moscow if they use it as a weapt ukraine or other european nations. It was the big concern in all of this. Critics say biden is really caving to Vladimir Putin yet again. Watch. It harms our national security posture, as Russias Economy grows and they do better and their economy will grow into better as a result of this deal, another foreign Policy Disaster in the making. Steel and that was yesterday. Larry kudlow is with us now. Hello, sir. Good morning to you. Simple question for you. What did we get for not blocking this Pipeline . Weve got nothing. In fact, we lost ground on this. This is a paper tiger stuff. To say they are going to impose sanctions after the fact, we have already weaponized Russian Gas because we are going to let the Pipeline go through. During the trump administration, we worked very hard and we worked closely with our european friends, not germany, but the rest of europe oppose this, and we stopped the Pipeline. 100 miles left to go, and it was stopped because we put sanctions on the Construction Companies and the insurance companies. Now, giving this thing up, first of all, they selling out ukraine. Second, they are selling at central europe and the baltics. All these people were much opposed to it, even france as opposed to it. They give russia a tremendous weapon. They turn the Natural Gas to get off for rest of the year and it will trickle down to other places. The other problem is come back to the united states, let me get this right. Russia can drill, russia can produce No Problem, but american oil cant. Energy companies cant drill, Energy Companies cant produce, no xl Pipeline, no drilling on federal lands, which fortunately was overturned by the judge, so we are not in that business, but they are. Our economy is going to suffer, Russias Economy is going to prosper, russia gets undue influence over europe, most of whom oppose this, and germany bungled their energy story. They went totally green. That failed because they didnt have enough power from solar and wind, so they went back to producing coal, the worst emissions of all, and know they want to recover by importing Russian Gas. Its a crazy story, i dont understand it. Bill ill add one more thing to your list. The End Keystone but we are encouraging opec to pump more, which they agreed to do about a week ago. Absolutely love that. We encourage opec, Saudi Arabia and russia, to pump more and produce more. We want them to help get Oil Prices down in The World markets maybe Gasoline Prices will fall, but the rest cant. We are going to wreck our Energy Industry between Green New Deal regulations and, of course, high taxes. How is this going to help america . House is going to help the economic security, and how is this going to help our international security, getting russia all this power, for which weve got nothing . ThAt The amazing thing. Nothing. Sandra that is acknowledged, right . By both the u. S. And germany, that russia very clearly could use this Pipeline as a political weapon. Under this deal they have vowed consequences if russia uses it in that capacity. Can we take this deal at its word . How would we respond . I dont understand. Consequences for wet . Russia will complete the Pipeline, theyre going to make a lot of money and grow their economy. By The Way, ukraine loses a lot of money, because they lose the commissions when the Pipeline would have gone through ukraine. I dont understand, literally going to do . Yell At Them . Im sorry, i didnt mean to weaponize . Hes a crafty guy. Hes acting in russias own interest. When do we act in Americas Interest . What ever happened to America First . I dont want russia first, i dont want china first, i want America First. Bill larry, Thank You for coming back on. Come back real soon. We have breaking news, Lee Love to see you soon.

Two of the five people who were appointed, they had made statements and taken actions that i think would impact the integrity of the commission, of the committee, the work of the committee. This is deadly serious. This is about our constitution, its about our country, its about the assault on the capitol that is being mischaracterized, for some reason, At The expense of finding the truth for the american people.

The White House included a link to the group ended school reopening guidance. The administration now says it was just a mistake. Republicans want to know whether that material has already made it into more than 13,000 School Districts across the country. Mike emanuel has more on this, because that link has been up for months now. Youre right, sandra. That guide was sent to School Districts across the Country Back in april. Texas Senator Ted Cruz told me he is alarmed by what he read of this guidance provided by the Department Of Education. The documents the biden administration sent to schools across this country talk about the need to Disrupt Whiteness and other forms of oppression. Coming from Joe Biden, if you are white, whiteness is a form of oppression. Bill a spokesperson toward them thAt They do not endorse their conditions of this group nor did they affect the policy positions, it was an error, in a lengthy document to include the citation.

A fifthgrade Teacher Teacher from seattle, jeremiah and henderson, defending them on twitter.

Talk about misguided guidance, schools need to have accurate information on how they can safely open related to covid. Not try to be pushed into going down the poisonous road of teaching critical race theory. It makes no sense. The impact of the social and emotional Learning Guidance is not yet clear. Sandra .

Wrote a piece at foxnews. Com. Heres a headline. Dont just blame covid for the surge in Overdose Deaths, dems bad policies are responsible, too. I give you a chance to explain, jason. Covid certainly exacerbated issue, but its urgent because democrats have effectively and in some cases literally legalize drugs while hamstringing police. You look at portland, seattle, chicago, boston, these are cities that refused to prosecute most drug crimes. They keep promising to get treatment for addicts because they dont want a criminalize addiction, and instead go after the drug dealers. But the problem is addicts, many of them who are criminals, arent compelled into treatment and there are consequences for skipping out on treatment normally. In this case they know theyre not going to be punished if they ignore the will of the courts. So they dont actually change that behavior, while At The same time dealers have evolved, they carry less product on them, and that way they can avoid arrest and prosecution. So essentially they are gaming the system and the drugs are flowing into our community. Bill you write that chicago has a 20 increase in Overdose Deaths. Thats extraordinary. Portland is up 40 . But what about the mexican Drug Cartels . What about the open borders . What about the pictures bc from customs and Border Patrol on a weekly basis about the amount of Fentanyl And Meth and cocaine they are seeing . Clearly the mexican Drug Cartels have taken advantage of these drug permissive policies. A report came out about two or three months ago from the dea that showed that. Obviously there is now a very open border thAt They are taking advantage of, they are flooding our cities with, in particular, fentanyl, which is really easy to get across the border. Even the smallest amount of fentanyl can cause a deadly overdose, and a lot of the drugs we are seeing, especially in the Pacific Northwest but really across the country, are laced with fentanyl. So people are taking Meth Or Heroin not realizing there is fentanyl in it, they overdo it and end up dying. Thats a big reason behind the surge in Overdose Deaths. Bill he asked the question, why dont democrats change their ways . Why not . They dont change their ways because, in this case, when we talk about the Drug Legalization pushed, they are ideologues and they truly believe the criminal Justice System, especially dealing with drug crimes, is infected with White Supremacy. And its a system of oppression that has to be dismantled. At the same time you can go ahead and talk about that all you want, you are killing these people every day you allow the legalization of drugs without at least compelling treatment. They dont want any consequences when it comes to this, or even homeless or any of these issues. They always seem to say, we want them to be ready. The suspects, the victims of this addiction, to be ready. And then we will treAt Them where they are. Re. But if you are an addict, you are not just going to simply be ready. And usually, At ThAt Time where you maybe thinkan reach them, its going to be too late. We see that for at least 93,000 people in this country. Bill heres the paragraph, is a Progressive Push To Decriminalize and legalize drugs. They argue the Justice System is racist and they diss proportionately punish people of color. Although its lazy and disingenuous, the crimes are still occurring and are not the result of conspiracy to plant drugs and innocent people, at least a deadly consequences. Just emphasize the point youre making there. Jason, Thank You. Come back. Check out the piece at foxnews. Com. Sandra .

Sandra knew the unsealed Court Documents on the Kristin Smart Murder Case now revealing more information on that investigation. She vanished more than 25 years ago and was last seen leaving a party with Paul Flores. In august 1996, Cadaver Dogs Go right to the Suspect Dormitory during a Campus Search at california polytechnic state university. Smart is not officially presumed to be dead until may 2002, 14 years after that investigators were able to take up a hillside near the campus, finding some, quote, items of interest. It was then in march of this year thAt They did a Search Warrant At The home of flores father. They were connected to her disappearance. Both pleaded not guilty. Nancy grace is the host of Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. You know this story very well. Paul flores was the last person seen, as i just mentioned, with Kristin Smart as they walked home from that party, which is now 25 years ago. And lets be clear, they werent just walking home from a party. Lets start at The Party, where Paul Flores, the prime suspect in this case, was all over Kristin Smart. In fact, one time at The Party he was still all over her thAt They fell to the floor and people got them up, and men at The Party said, man, you need to leave her alone. They left The Party and she was so out of it, after just one or two drinks, she laid down on a lawn. She was obviously drug. He was the last one seen holding her up, insisting he would take her home to her dorm. Fastforward to today, this is the bombshell. About 29 women have come forward and said Paul Flores, the suspect in her disappearance, either raped, drug, stock, or peeping tommed them. Thats when you spy on somebody unaware when they are changing or something. In a recent ruling, the judgment said none of those others are going to come in because it is too thin. So the jury is never going to care about the alleged rape, but another thing found in this recent search was a homemade cd he made of himself having sex with women going in and out of consciousness, and a Google Search for and ive got to read it to you, real drug and girls drugged and raped while passing out. Who googles that . When they search the home of his father, they found disturbed soil under a deck in the shape of a coffin with Human Blood and fibers in it. Sandra yes, whAt They call biological evidence. Those more than two dozen women who have now come forward and accused Paul Flores of sexual misconduct, we only now know that because of those newly unsealed Court Documents. He is 44 years old now. Her body has never been found. As you mention, they did find that amount of evidence. Just give us your thoughts on what is about to happen in this case. What do you think comes from all of this . Well, theres going to be a preliminary hearing At The beginning of august where they lay out the case. The state is going to lay out his case, just enough to get the case bound over or transferred to a superior Court Room where the case can be tried, 25 years later. But catch this, theres been a civil lawsuit against his mother and her boyfriend. There are allegations thAt They helped move the body. Sandra nancy, i want to ask about your Fox Nation special on the shocking release of Bill Cosby. Here is something from one of his accusers, detailing her alleged assault. Listen. I couldnt move, i was pretty much immobilized. Not only in fear, but just because of the drugs. They were very strong strong central nervous system depressant, quaaludes. Sandra nancy, what will he see when we tune into your Fox Nation special . You know, every time i hear the victim speak, and ive talked to many of them, im overwhelmed with Anger And Sadness thAt Theyve been let down by our Justice System. And now, in a split decision, the state Appellate Court lets him walk free all because of a weak prosecutor that was afraid to take Bill Cosby to trial . We uncover it all there at Fox Nation.
