harris faulkner, host of "kennedy" kennedy, and in the center virtual seat, host of ben ferguson podcast, ben ferguson. lori lightfoot is blasting that chicago's teachers union that voted overwhelmingly to stop in person learning because of the covid surge. even though 90% of teachers are vaccinated. lori lightfoot saying it happens within the legal work stoppage that has ramifications for her city. >> nobody signs up for being a homeschooler at the last minute. you can't forget about how disruptive that remote process is to individual parents who have to work, who can't afford the luxury of staying home and being with their kids. >> kayleigh: harris, so 50% of america's schools are closed or an remote learning, they are in chicago the state of illinois had $5 billion from the federal government for schools, and to get at 28:00 p.m. nearly midnight this goes out to parents that there won't be in class instruction. >> harris: two things stand out. they did not have enough about plan to make sure they learned today, if they were going to be virtual, they did not put an apparatus in place, because it is all about the union and how do we know that? because the teachers are being allowed to stay home, but the kids were told you can still go to school and get your free lunch or things that you need from the classroom. what are they doing in school if it is not safe? that is one question, is there such a need to make sure that children are fed? we know that it is here like that in new york and across the country, the line of demarcation between what is acceptable and what is desperate. it has our children writing that line and we need to protect them. the teachers are not interested in doing that, so they stay home where it is safe, but cases have shown that their test resorts and positivity in some areas where the adults are doing what they want to do and testing positive. we have that situation in new jersey. so i have to ask the question, who benefits from this? and what do they do with the money? the president says over $100 billion on the state. where's the cash? did it pay for more ventilation? did i make things better? because the teacher say things are better. where did it go? >> kayleigh: is a great question and i think we deserve answers on that. last february jim saki was asked if they would stand up to the teachers union, one thing to say is open and school, another is standing up to the union, here's the answer. >> it is time for president biden to stand up and say that the kids are the most important thing and stand up to the teachers union. if it comes down to a binary choice, who the president chooses, the kids were the teachers? >> i think that's a little unfair how you put the question, but i will say that the president believes school should be open. he wants proper steps to be taken so that they can be reopened and stay open. >> kayleigh: so there is no assertion of pushing back against the teachers union last february if they are so keen on opening schools, it's very simple, president biden, go off your fake white house, jen psaki, let's hear it from the lectern today, will we hear it? >> ben: i doubt it, but i think we need to call it what it is now as the teacher union on the policy as they are trying to have nationwide is a racist policy, why do i say it is racist? because the majority of people that are affected, the majority of the test scores that drop drastically because they have divided the country into two different groups of people, private school kids are getting a proper education and public school kids are now being held back and having to compete with those private school kids for not only scholarships, but for jobs when they graduate. this is a racist policy by the teachers union, it is disproportionately affecting minorities in this country. second thing, if you are angry about this as appearance, don't just tweet about it. you need to be advocating right now for school vouchers. school vouchers can fix all of this nationwide. if you give parents the right to decide where they spend their money and they get to find a school that is open and safe to give their kid a quality education in the united states of america which we should demand right now, i guarantee these teachers unions will fold immediately and they will go back to teaching, because they don't want to lose their jobs. they don't care about these kids, they know they get paid sitting in their pajamas at home, and that's why the unions voted at midnight basically last night because they don't care about the quality of the education, they don't even care about these kids. they say give me money and i want that money and that's what matters. >> kayleigh: meanwhile you have the teachers union, the largest one run by the end norman's power, they were influencing guidelines and suggesting language of the reopening guidelines, but they had this to say, i thought it was really well written. exercising more real practical political power than any senator or cabinet sect at terry and the power to exercise exclusively in the public interest workers and the democratic party that they effectively controlled for half of the time for americans to take back some of that power. the white house should really be calling her out, am i right, kennedy? >> kennedy: absolutely over and over again. to make sure is held accountable with the statements she has made in the past. and now trying to frame her as this hero trying to keep schools open and that's what she is fighting for, that's not what she has been fighting for. and the fact that democrats are beholden to the teachers unions, because they give roughly 90% of their funds, their donations to democratic candidates. but it's interesting that this is the hill they are choosing to die on, and the party will -- if not diet, they will be extremely sleepy in the midterms, because parents across the country and not just republican parents are really sick and tired of seeing their children harmed by closed schools and teachers who really are not having to work in chicago, three days a week with the average check-in time for a majority of teachers they are, and that is totally unacceptable. and that's where yourself an op-ed in "the new york times" showing the fact that two children are the ones who essentially have been tortured by this process and at the expense of their futures, so we can save adults appeared well, it is time to flip that on its head to make sure we put children and learning first. >> kayleigh: for sure, and "the new york times" we will put that up, they have discovered what we know for two years which is the devastating data on kids not being in schools. starting 2022 i have long been aware that the pandemic was a bending children's lives, but until i spent time pulling together data and reading reports, i did not understand just how alarming the situation had become for the past two years americans have accepted more harm to children in exchange for less harm to adults. this is not a new discovery as we have had the data for two years, emily. >> emily: that's exactly right and i would make one edit, take out the word americans and supplant it with democrats to underscore the point, the mental health statistic has been absolutely frightening and on none of downhill trajectory, so the only reason this is doing that is making it worse, and the behavioral health care for students particularly in the low income communities of color, to the point earlier, what we just came out of there was more mental health and disciplinary referrals than there were in the entire average school year when kids are in school. that is student on student violence, student on teacher violence, and self harm. health and mental health providers including the american academy of pediatrics have warmed to that we are in a "mental health state of emergency" for children. and to remind everyone that the second leading cause of death for ages 10-24 is suicide. this is beyond tragic and all this does -- >> ben: that is heartbreaking. >> kayleigh: heartbreaking, and the teachers union does not get it, 50% of schools are closed or remote to learning, it's a travesty. president biden says just google it, that's his answer to frustrated americans waiting in long lines for covid testing. that's next. ♪ ♪ your kindness outshines your highs and lows. your strength can outlast any bad day. because you are greater than your bipolar i, and you can help take control of your

for the surge faulted the young vaccinated despite the breakthrough cases. >> let me be absolutely clear, we have in hand all the vaccines we need. if every american fully vaccinated including the booster shot. there is no excuse for anyone being unvaccinated. this continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated. >> harris: there is no excuse for him not getting the contract signed so we can get testing at the beginning of january. and while he says nothing about the 500 million home covid test, he did hand out this advice. >> google covid test near me, go there, google, covid tests near me on google to find the nearest site where you can get a test. most often and for you. >> harris: kennedy, what was that? >> kennedy: it's a sad downhill trajectory of a man who is in need of a long nap. and he is being completely disingenuous when he says it is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. everyone here in new york who has had the virus, everyone i know, i know a lot of people who had it just recently. it is vaccinated people who have gotten it from vaccinated people that are so many breakthrough cases, the cdc said on december 20th even if you don't have symptoms and who are vaccinated, you can still get and spread the virus. so he is lying about that. and the fact that the government is the one standing in the way of companies developing these tests where we have more tests on the market, that is shameful and immoral. >> harris: pete hegseth put it best. we have operation warp speed, and pete says we now have operation snail's seed. >> kayleigh: he said it best, let me just clarify the stat that i gave last block as it jumped to 50%, the numbers that are closed. i just want to clarify that. that's exactly right and the best i have heard it put his operation warp speed to operation snail speed. when you look at the former president, former president trump, 800 million vaccines, that is a lot of vaccines, harris. and he had the biden administration who goes in and says that we were given no plan, yes coming to work, operation warp speed and testing. we need a president who starts to answer some questions, because it has been two days now. and when he asks when are we going to get those at home tests, he stares blankly into the camera and is mute, i have a lot of questions like the "vanity fair" article that was rejecting 749 tests, he just simply said i never rejected up plan. we have a report that you did to reject the plan, where's the truth? we need facts and reporters and a president who take steps. >> harris: we need access to the president which is something for the press not happening. we take taxes all the time, and she said if you ask what he wants to be asked, how do we know, there is a list, there probably is. the been. it >> ben: there are three major problems. i think it is operation and competency or operation stupidity. if you go back to the president, the last debate, he declared to the american people that if you elect me, i'm going to eradicate the world of covid and shut down this virus and i'm going to get the testing needed, because this guy, he pointed out that donald trump and his head, he has not done it. we had a bill where 90 percent within the bill had nothing to do with covid and was called a covid bill, a funding bill for covid and the trillion plus dollar range. you are telling me that in that bill even in the 10% that went to "covid funding" you do not think that we needed to buy a lot of tests and you did not say let's buy them now? and you do not think that we should at least have them ready or send them out to the american people like a warm hug, they have no clue what they are doing right now, and i think that this is obvious that they are sitting around going, what do we say? what do we do? how do we respond? they have no idea how to fix this or even handle what is happening. >> harris: so let's just look at what ben is saying, because from may to january, this administration did not have the business relationship with the former president trump had enough to say to the company is making a test, we don't want you to dial back. if you just stay where you are, we will be ready, they dialed back. and what, there was no -- he has been talking to ceos, my question is does he listen? >> emily: i don't think he does, and the quiet part out loud as he listens to a preapproved question. remember back in june of 2020 come by the way, when current white house chief of staff tweeted out testing still is not fixed could and then he repeated it five times and said we are the richest country on earth and we don't have enough swabs, testing still isn't fixed. it seems like you should read tweeted again right now and also needs to be billboard ads for the midterm coming up this year, because absolutely nothing has changed except for hypocrisy, that is what is alive and well. >> harris: not to be cruel here, if we pop it back up and you see june of 2020, the president thinks that we are in 2020, so hit fire, go ahead and retweet that from the chief of staff so he will get the message. let's move on. just ahead, manhattan's new district attorney out with some progressive

seeking cases in a number of cases, alvin bragg vows his office will no longer seek jail time for some offenses including armed robbery and drug dealing, "the new york post" declaring happy 2022, criminals, on the cover today. kennedy, "the new york post" goes on to report that you can now engage in armed robbery without any fear of a serious sentence. in fact, nothing short of murder, some sex crimes, or public correction will land you in jail. so a nonviolent crime land to imprison, but you can brandish a gun in a vote to go to a terrified clerk and walk the streets again immediately, because if that is not considered a "genuine threat for the d.a. new memo committee. >> kennedy: and this is what has happened in san francisco and portland. we talk about it in minneapolis and seattle as well, activist d.a.s are going to set the criminal justice movement behind by decades if they are not careful, because these are very irrational fixes. and to the tenants of libertarianism don't hurt people, don't take their stuff, if you take away people's rights, then he will no longer be free to exercise yours completely, and that is the deal we make with one another in a civil society. some sex crimes are still a felony, others are not. if you turn new york and san francisco, new york is already elected a law and order mail lament mayor, a former cop to be mayor who has not stood up to this, let's hope this does not become another failed experiment and the worst is not realized in higher crime rates in an unsafe or city. it has already seen homicides and shooting rates skyrocket. >> emily: kennedy brought up criminal justice reform and the murder sanction that thankfully the d.a. has preserved. that law was born out of the horrifying case of the savagely rape and murder at age seven in new jersey. they have tragedies behind them, and the purpose is to deter and hold consequences for people who harm others. the new set of laws is not just -- there is no justice here. >> ben: there is not and a lot of connection here, so everyone needs to understand. this is part of the defund the police movement to have the police disappear. if the d.a. continues to move in this direction and liberal cities, what will police officers serves say? they will say i'm out of here. i'm done with this, i'm not risking my life so that i can put them in handcuffs and get out and no charges brought against them. and the riots that took place in the country where the d.a. refused to prosecute, and this is part of a bigger plan i think to say we want to get rid of police. if we can't directly defund them, we will just make you go insane to the point where your assignment. and it's the ultimate goal anyway. this is an activist of the defend the police movement. and they are disguised as d.a.s, getting rid of them one by one by making them go insane and taking their power to actually do law and order in their cities. >> emily: carrying that a bit further, i had the honor of speaking with some nypd officers about this and their reaction is understandably one of being totally disheartened, cops are putting their lives on the line every day in service to apprehend these guys who won't serve any jail time or detention. it makes it more dangerous for law enforcement, because the criminals have nothing to lose, but the officers have everything to lose, like the officer who was shot in the head this week in new york, cops are being treated like criminals and the criminals are being rewarded, kayleigh? >> kayleigh: that's a powerful point you make, just sitting wave to defund the police. you are exactly right, it made my mind go back to the jim comey when he dubbed the ferguson effect meaning that the environment for officers was so toxic, so poisonous, so hateful that the byproduct of that was police pulling back from their community. that's exactly what is going to happen here. if there is no reason to arrest someone, because they took it out on the streets, you're going to have another ferguson effect in a different way. in fact don't take it from me, take it from the police association that said police officers don't want to be sent out to enforce laws at the district attorney that they won't prosecute. in a subtle way unfortunately. >> emily: lets remind the viewers that the nypd is the lowest paid in the country and they have been out of contract for five years. and harris, been brought up mayor adams and he says his number one priority is public safety, but the new d.a. has the opposite agenda. >> harris: that's exactly what i wanted to get into and i'm glad that you brought up the journey for the district attorney's. let me point out that at least three of them have the connection of one big democratic moneyman which is manhattan, l.a., san francisco. kennedy, you talked about what it looks like in san francisco as related to crime, there is a reason why the policies look so similar, because there is somebody, a democrat of a massive bad guy in terms of how much money he can dump in to have his vision. and so what do republican turned democrat to mayor like eric adams do? he has not been in office very long and i'm not in the prediction business. i can tell you based on the facts and what we are seeing with the d.a. here in manhattan, they are going to come to a head at some point, because he is a former cop in 22 years, and he promised to have two things simultaneously for safety for the citizens of new york city. in order to make that happen, you're going to have to have a relationship with a district attorney, i would imagine. so those two are not likely to see eye to eye on things. what is that going to look like? i also will keep my popcorn and how this plays out, but i will pray for the citizens from new york city, because it's already unsafe. >> emily: and hopefully respect for the officers and the victims, because pretty soon every single resident will see it. coming up, the

congressional black caucus. he is now the fifth harris staffer to leave. in "the washington post" is reporting then another is also looking to resign soon. all of this as they are up in claims of tension in the vice president's office. that includes a blistering report describing harris as a bully who dishes out "soul destroying criticism. but a source close said that he is still on good terms with the vice president. emily, they are been a lot of reports from "the washington post," to the cnn one that had nearly three dozen sources, they talk about the vice president not being confident, being hard on staff and this is bad for the number two person in the line of succession, a history going back to california. spill and that's exactly right, not only going back to the attorney general, but also on the campaign, remember when she dropped out of the race there were tons of reporting about office infighting and associate civil war between the staff and the conflict with a lot of the family members that held divisions in her campaign staff and those that felt that they were having whiplash of her policy and could not keep up. it was a toxic environment. and she was not doing anything to leave. that's a larger point is that when something like that, these rumors or reports follow you wherever you go that it seems to me there is an absolute dearth of leadership, because a true leader would not just manage staff when not have this continual thing plaguing her, the jacob marley change, clearly there is a monochrome of truth and a true leader would not have any of it. >> kayleigh: i want to alert our viewers that you are not entering an episode of "veep" right now, because of the bipartisan infrastructure law, america is moving again. that's what infrastructure is all about, getting people moving. harris, how do you tweet today people are moving on a day when hundreds of people are literally stuck on an interstate, i-95 right in her backyard? >> harris: i am concerned if she is not spending with the president. he is a gap meister, and i ask this, is it contagious? can you catch guessing is? and a bigger point in all of that is that when he addresses the nation on the response from the white house, he also is bragging and touting all of the things that they have done. this is a scene now with this white house. paid no attention to the monster that is about to chew off your foot, just pay attention to the 6-inch stiletto on the other foot. i don't really understand how they don't think we don't see what they are doing, because we do. it's this political game. but i don't want my vice president or anybody at the top to be so distracted by people leaving. okay, vincent evans just figured it out on her staff, he is another senior aide. he is a person who would be in there in the goo trying to get things right. she has replaced the comms team more than once and with president trump, i know the people are going to bring this up, what about sean spicer and the 11 days of anthony scaramucci, but look at what happened. but on one staff that has an approval rating underwater by i think she is at less than 32% approval which is an improvement over 28 i guess. it still way underwater. the person distracted by all of this, so we need to know that she is able to do the nine jobs that we scroll as the president has given her. >> emily: if she just does one, i will be happy. >> kayleigh: just one of them. kennedy, i do see a connection there, harris mentions being distracted by people leaving, but there is gap after gap after gap, and the tweet about moving, you look up at your television screen, you can't walk down the hall past in office without seeing a television screen with a news organization on there. you think that you would not tweet as you are looking at images of landlocked cars, maybe it's just that she does not have a staff to get these things to stop from happening. the >> kennedy: or they can't stand her and her doing everything to undermine once again. i felt bad for her when i read the tweet, you have i-95 shut down, people stuck in their cars who are over a day, overnight, and freezing temperatures including children and sick people, and then you have an amtrak that is not moving for the same amount of time with no food, no bathroom, imagine what people are doing on that train stuck in what felt like little capsules. and this is what you are tweeting about, you guys are doing such a great job! so i do feel bad for her, but she had the choice could pull her head out of the cm and read her brief, and she is not doing that, clearly. >> kayleigh: clearly not, she does not read her briefs and then blame staffers when things go poorly. but all the negative news stories, they are adding up. i mean, harris just mentioned 32% of approval in usa today is not good. maybe it's over 28% of what it was, but that's really bad number. >> ben: it's a bad number especially for vice president. you turn over for the white house, i'm talking about the president of the united states, vice presidential staffs don't have turnover like this. even cheney who was a tough guy to work for, they did not have turnover like this, because you are the vice president. but the biggest troubling part for me with the tweet is not how out of touch, but the fact that this woman clearly doesn't know what she is doing and what her job is. when you see people stranded, you should be going to work for those people. when you see a crisis like what was on tv yesterday, you should be making phone calls and making sure that food, water, aide, whatever it takes, if the federal government is being utilized, that's the tweet you should put out, not propaganda in america is moving today. what she was probably doing was going around the white house trying to get what i would say our hostage pictures from her happy staff still there. and people were disgruntled, she was probably running around yelling at people, take a picture that you are happy and tweet it now so that everybody knows that you love me. that is what she is focused on, not the american people that were suffering and not on the government or on getting help to these people, that's what her job should be. >> harris: what you're talking about his distraction, she is distracted, the one thing she is not is missing the secretary of transportation. so there is that. >> kayleigh: his name is being coded for the top job down the road. just a little bit. coming up, a flight to cancun goes off the rails after a rowdy group turns a

effective with omicron, let's do it. there is part of me that laughs and likes it, because it makes two things very clear, social influencers should not be driving your life number one, and number two, yes, they really are as dumb as they look. >> harris: no one drops the mic like you do, we just got hit by all fronts. >> emily: i thought this was so hysterical because it's like seeing someone who had been finally cooped up forever, finally letting loose, these guys are partying so hard, and the funniest part to me, i know it is not supposed to be funny and i'm sure i will get drilled, but i think it's hysterical because it is like act like it's not your first time, guys. because they were having way too good of a time. and i think the irony is we know that there are exceptions carved out for your trouble of wearing masks and not wearing them, you are briefly taking medication or eating and drinking, but clearly these guys were drinking the entire duration of the flight. they also might face criminal charges for lying when they are back in their home country, however they get home. >> harris: there's so much video, so just technically, kennedy, when you are chugging, i guess that counts as taking off your mask, but that took 15 minutes i suppose. us before especially if is gray goose. >> harris: that's what we saw! >> kayleigh: when the pandemic is over, this is what every flight is going to look like. all pent-up and so mad, and there are a lot of people watching going i have to make pj money. this is what we are doing on a plane, i don't want to be duct taped to my seat with some care and going, mask? slapping me in head! so i actually -- i'm not offended by this. i completely understand it. emily is right, it is a little bit of rookie behavior, but it is entertaining. >> harris: i will advocate for the flight attendants right now, because i have flown recently, and their job is huge, guys. and apparently the one on the flight was forced to stand back, because i don't know how you corral an entire charter flight of people. i don't even know. and you don't want people getting hurt. and if they have to make an announcement, i mean, maybe the girl with the peace out might've heard it, because she was not actually talking. i mean, what a job it is to be the people on that plane whose job it is to be the people on that plane. >> emily: you are right and the flight attendants had to go to the back, because at certain point you lose control and have to sit back. but this was a canadian charter flights, and their minister of transport came out and said that these people will be held accountable. he said that they can face fines of up to $5,000, criminal charges, who is the canada minister of transport, can we bring him to the manhattan d.a. office? maybe we will actually import some laws where i feel safe walking on the streets of manhattan. so come on down, minister of transport. >> kennedy: these people have to be tested by a lot more than coronavirus, by the way! >> harris: i think they would have a better chance if he showed up, just to make sure that everybody looks good and is taking their mug shots. let's move on. still ahead, the coronavirus pandemic right now, and prices rising and grocery stores alike, but the president had to be told about that. i don't know if he needs to know, but the result seems to be that americans are becoming short fused. ♪ ♪ i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! (sighs wearily) here i'll take that! (excited yell) woo-hoo! ensure max protein. with thirty grams of protein, one gram of sugar, and nutrients to support immune health. . ♪ i'm giving you everything, all that joy can bring ♪ >> seems things have gotten considerably worse with pent-up and covid frustrated americans running out of patience, "a nation on hold wants to speak with a manager". the article sort of goes on to explain that when americans are having to "cope with mild disappointment" they devolve into children. >> yeah, just counter intuitive to me. look, i remember the runs on toilet paper, we had to use something called dude wipes, i'm grateful to find any product on the shelves, especially in joe biden's america. so the idea people are throwing tantrums over not having fancy imported details. >> the 60-year-old man could not find the specialty cheese at the store and angry, confused and fearful. >> i don't want to joke about mental health, because we know that is real. and if jim maturity -- immaturity, i taught my children to not throw the toys out of the crib. the few children who roam outside to get into a classroom, i want them to see good examples. people need to step up and this is a missed opportunity by the president of the united states, i mean that in all sincerity. he needs to go on television and say i feel your pain, he needs a bill clinton moment to say this country is suffering and i get you. would he ever do that, no. >> "fast times at ridgemont high," brad has to deal with the customer. >> i want my money back. >> harris is absolutely right and frustration is one of the first signs of depression. and i think there are a lot of people who truly are suffering through depression and anxiety who maybe it's undiagnosed or never felt that before, and so instead of, you know, tackling it and putting a name on it, they are sort of reacting to it. so much of this is reaction to the position that we have all been put in by the government, and the fact it's protracted into the third year, i don't know where we go from here but we do have to have more conversations about that with one another because people are suffering at every level. suffering greatly and they are suffering minutely in ways foreign to them. >> take us home. >> i think this boils down to the simple fact we have become lab rats for an experiment by the government, how many rights to take away from us, how many freedoms can they take away from us, how much can they shut us off from society and make things difficult on us before people start to snap. top five states moved out of last year were the states with the most liberal policies with covid-19 and people said they have had enough and they ran. and you are going to continue to see this until they start to allow us to live life in a normal way. chicago with the kids another example, it's abuse of families and children. >> that's exactly right. great discussion today, you guys. i hope we look forward to a nation full of adults after this. here is "america reports." >> emily, thank you so much. news alert, brand-new mayor of new york city wants to crack down on crime but might want to check with the newly sworn-in district attorney first. >> manhattan's top prosecutor says his office will give many misdemeanor crimes a pass, and those actually charged with a crime don't expect them to stay behind bars for long. brian will weigh in later this hour. >> john: another alert to kick off "america reports," teachers' union is
