sexual assault. marianne rafferty is live with a fight that is escalating across the country. marianne good evening. >> reporter: good evening trace. in his opinion temporarily blocking rules j david f bowman says he hopes the state and school boards can negotiate in good faith and strike a balance between protecting transgender students and the rights of parents to bring up their kids. three school districts in monmouth county were sued by the state back in june after adopting policies that require teachers and staff to inform a parent if their child wanted to use pronouns or school facilities that did not conform to their sex at birth. that injunction is temporary while the larger case plays out in the state's civil rights division. temperature attorney representing the marlboro board of education saying that process could take years. in the meantime he writes the school district is now severely constrained in its ability to notify parents about important issues involving their minor children which is tragic on many levels. we're exploring avenues for appeal. meanwhile, down in virginia, counties are at odds over whether to adopt governor glenn youngkin's guidelines on trans students. the roanoke board unanimously approved rules that require teachers and staff to notify parents without anything related to their child's gender. the policy mandates that for activities separated by sex, schools must go by a student's birth section not gender identity. speakers on both sides of the issue made passionate comments before last night's vote. >> besides it being a legal right, parents have a god given right to be involved in every aspect of their child's life, including their education. >> for those children who don't have an a firming home to go to, the teachers and affirming staff members are the life line. they are the reason that they are alive and you're taking that away. how many people will die now? >> reporter: a different story up in northern virginia, the prince william county school board announced yesterday they will not be adopting youngkin's policy saying the rules in place already meet non-discrimination laws and earlier this week the largest school district fairfax county said it would not follow the guidelines either so trace a lot of parents will be upset about this. >> trace: battle across the country thank you. let's bring in bridget ziegler director of school board programs at the leadership institute and carry ingraham director at the discovery institute. ladies thank you for coming on we appreciate it. carrie to you first a temporary hannity the parents in new jersey, no doubt about it. >> trace, this is happening all over the country, not just virginia, not just new jersey but there's over 1,000 school districts, it's 1040 now and that affects 11 million students. under these policies that say a school district can or even should keep a child's gender ideology through this social contagion in secret from moms and dads goes against the very foundation of our country where parents have a god-given right to raise their child, and it's an attack not just on the individual's identity but it's an attack to 0 the breakdown of the family in our country and we need more people like governor glenn youngkin who's going to fight this and they're not backing down. >> trace: and the judge, david bowman in his preliminary injunction, bridget, said the follow, quoting here, the state has demonstrated a reasonable probability of success on its claim that the amended policies if implemented will have a dis pray impact on transgender gender non-confirming and non-binary youth. i mean how can you show any evidence that it's best to keep secrets from parents. >> actually i would argue that we have seen more evidence that would illustrate the opposite. i think it's very alarming again we have government institutions getting in the way between parents and their children intentionally and, again, more and moreest that's illustrating that this is -- that they're pushing and promoting an affirming transgender or gender questioning and putting towards policies and actually procedures that are irreversible and we're seeing more children come forward and trying to detransition so we need to -- it's very alarming. >> trace: i have one more flat platform on top of that because we talked about this being a bat until the country, in orange county california last night some parents very heated, here's a sample of that and i'll get your response. >> it should never be okay to tell children not to speak to their parents. >> i think it really behooves us to ask ourselves the most fundamental question which will help us understand why this board policy is needed and the question is as follows. whose children are they? >> trace: and no matter what side of the debate you're on carrie, that is the question. whose children are we talking about? i mean, these are not the state's children. these are parents' children. >> absolutely. you know, from birth, these resist the parents that know everything about these children, their personalities. and because of the social contagion that's happening in school that's funneling kids down this ideology and is attacking them on all fronts, it's now a curriculum under the guise of social emotional learning they're trying to change bathroom regulations whereby logical males come into a female's bathroom, locker room, sports teams. they're trying to make it a normal thing for these children, but it's moms and dads that know their kids. they're going to be there for these kids far past the school years when the teachers come in and out of their lives and be there when the kids detransition but like bridget said it has irreversible damage on these children once they funnel them through this social contagion. >> trace: yet you have groups going after people like you and it's kind of amazing. this is orlando weekly writing following. parents launch parenting with pride frame combat right wing culture war. it goes on to say its launch comes in response to a right wing educational noovment in florida has sought to roll back acceptance of gay, queer and transgender people and whitewash history in public schools under the guise of empowering parents. under the guise, bridget of empowering parents. it's one of those things where they're literally saying that they're hiding behind parents' rights bus other than that they're racist homophobic transphobic you name it. >> absolutely. we've heard those words done before but i can tell you i'm around the country talking to moms and dads who have never been politically active before and these kind of issues are mobilizing them and we're training them to be effective in taking back their school boards or the parental rights of every level of government. i'll tell you, there was a poll across party lines, 70% of parents and citizens believe that parents should be the ones making these decisions and school districts should not be withholding any information from their parents about their minor children. >> trace: every poll we see in all these states, including blue states, the polls always come out about that same way, that everybody thinks parents should have the right to parent their children. carrie, bridget, thank you both. we appreciate it. >> thanks trace. >> trace: meantime, just days away, as the banner goes forward, just days away from the first gop debate here on fox news. the candidates are working overtime to get attention and to get a spot on the debate stage. ashley strohmier live in the new york city news room with a mad final rush for candidates to qualify. ashley, it really is coming down to the wire. >> yeah, it really is trace and several republican white house hopefuls are appearing at a conservative conference with the hopes of making up ground against donald trump who continues to hold a commanding lead in the latest fox news poll. the former president not speaking at the atlanta event but florida governor ron desantis was there today and told radio host eric erickson he wants the 2024 election and the fox news primary debate next wednesday to be a referendum on president biden and not on 2020. >> there's nobody that wants us to be looking backwards more than the democrats and the media. they would love to have us have to relit gate all this stuff from 2020, 2021. because what does that do? that lets biden sit in his basement again. >> reporter: so according to the new york times, the main super pac desantis has advised the florida governor to, quote, take a sledge hammer to vivek ramaswamy on the debate stage wednesday, something the biotech entrepreneur is already using to raise campaign cash. ramaswamy also riding a signify ant poll bump deerflying his support in a recent poll that also shows desantis at a new low. this weekend former new jersey governor chris christie and ramaswamy will get their turn in atlanta. the iowa state fair winds down this weekend and will be visited by businessman perry johnson and former congressman will heard. while the heavy hitters will be in atlanta, preparations are already under way in milwaukee where the city is reportedly expected to welcome a crowd of about 7000 to the first gop debate hosted by fox news and that is on wednesday, trace. >> trace: going to be exciting. ashley strohmier live for us in new york, ashley thank you >> meantime president biden spoke about a new era of cooperation with leaders from japan and south korea amid growing tensions with china. one thing not up for discussion, the special counsel probe into hunter biden's business dealings. the senior national correspondent kevin corke is live in dc with the new information on this. kevin, good evening. >> reporter: evening trace. mum's the word, or so it was today for president biden, at least when it came to discussing ag merrick garland's decision to name a special counsel in the investigation into his son hunter. pressed by reporters at the conclusion of that camp david summit with leaders of south korea and japan, biden's first comments about the escalation in the probe were brief. >> i have no comment on any investigation that's going on. that's up to the justice department and that's all i have to say. >> reporter: that's all i have to say about that. now today's summit at camp david comes as a brand new fox news poll shows a majority of voters disapprove of the president's handling of foreign policy, with 55% saying they disapprove of the job he's doing on foreign policy. continuing, by the way, an underwater trend dating all the way back to october of 2021. now, experts say the historic gathering also reflects how concerns about china and north korea, as well as china and russia forging closer relationships, is really going to have an impact on the region. now all this is happening as the us's two chief allies attempt once again to overcome decades of animus. we've seen this play out on the international stage before, this he play nice but it's certainly complicated if you know the history trace. >> trace: indeed. thank you. let's bring in republican candidate larry elder, larry great to have you on. so the big debate's coming up next wednesday, mayor suarez, ace a hutch huh son will heard and you polling less than 1%. suarez told me the other night if he does not make the debate he's out. >> slight correction in one of the major polls i'm at 1.2 and another regional poll i'm at 1%. has to be some combination of national polls and state polls by that early state polls either iowa or new hampshire or south carolina. i'm this close doing it, also need 40,000 individual donors, we're about 2,000 short. by the end of this show with your clout i expect to be there. >> trace: plan b if you're not there. suarez said if i'm not there i'm not out. >> trace you're know what i'm going to say there's no b. you know, there's no try there's only do. i'm going to be there on august 23rd sooth you've never quit on anything i knew exactly what your answer was. >> sgleep i want to put this up because this is the two second runners, former president trump is way out in front but look at these numbers larry, this is ron desantis, who is now at 16, vivek ramaswamy is at 11%. but the big number there is that desantis has actually dropped six and vivek ramaswamy has gone up six, more than double his margin. what do you make of these numbers? >> i think that what's going on is that people perceive ramaswamy to be bringing some fresh ideas but so is the great elder, no one's talking about the epidemic of fatherlessness and the meltdown of k-12 where 13 high schools in baltimore 0% can do math at grade level and the murderous lie that america remains systemically racist. i say racist because it's driving reparations and race based getting people killed, cops falling back and the black and brown people that the people on the left claim to care about. this is what i'm talking about that no one else is talking about. even if i'm not your nominee, if i can get the party and the democrats and the media to talk about these kind of things than i will have done my job for my party and more importantly i will have done my job for my country. go to my web site larry elder.com a minimum of $1 between now and the end of the evening i should be able to make the debate stage. >> trace: i'll give you two more chances for plugs. >> and you know i'll do it. >> trace: to the other side of the aisle, here's the economy, he's running heavily on bidenomics, heavily on the economy. look at this. 20% of the population, larry, think the economy is good or excellent. 80% say the economy is going the wrong way. that's tough to campaign on. >> tell me about it. the number one issue almost always is the economy, inflation 40-year high, gas prices about 40% higher, people are paying about three, four, $500 for the same goods and services they paid two years ago, it is not good, plus a bunch illegal aliens in the country and the number one group hurt by illegal aliens are black and browns who you have to compete against for jobs. they put about $2,000 per year downward pressure on their wages, so the very people on the bottom the ones most hurt by inflation gas prices and illegal immigration. >> trace: elder.com. lastly, this is another awkward moment for the president and then we'll get larry's final thoughts. >> sure. >> i look forward to working with both of you ahead. now i yield to -- who am i yielding to? >> distinguished guest, the president of the republic of korea. >> reporter: we needed the voice of god to tell us that. >> trace: i have about ten seconds. it is a kind of hard to watch. >> as easy as it is to mock his decline the problem is his policies, the inflation, the war on oil and gas, the porous borders and schools, the way you shut down or encouraged governors to shut down their economies because of covid. i worry more about his policies than about his cognition. >> trace: larry elder.com, great to have you on. >> $1. see you in milwaukee. >> trace: thank you sir. >> you got it. >> trace: okay. meantime the fox news at night common sense department says it's about time california is cracking down on retail crime. in the past 24 hours, governor gavin newsome and los angeles mayor karen bass said they are doubling even tripling state and city resources to go after this disastrous litany of smash and grab robberies costing retail stores tens of millions of dollars. governor newsome says quote the state is investing hundreds of millions to crack down on retail crime. mayor bass says the criminals will be, quote, held accountable. even radical liberal los angeles da george gascón is calling the crime wave unacceptable. that's when you know things are bad. and apparently this wasn't just some political theater because within hours of the mayor and governor announcing their task forces, boom, a key smash and grab flown was apprehended and charged with four felonies. he was then immediately cited, set free and told to appear in court next month. common sense thinks maybe somebody should tell the judge not to hold his breath while he's waiting. very likely that suspect you saw will have a full slate of retail robberies on his agenda and very little time to pause for justice. common sense is being facetious because the retail crackdown is clearly a joke. but california wants crooks to know the next time you are in big, big trouble. let's bring in jason rantz host of ktth talk radio in seattle author of the upcoming book what's killing america. jason, do not let me tell you again not to take that gucci bag out because we will throw you in prison. we will throw you in prison on day one. it's just ridiculous, that's why it's unbelievable. >> and then let you go two minutes later. what's always so curious about this is that they think we don't recognize what it is they're doing. right? they think that they can continue to pay leadership service to this. and, look, i'll say this. i'm glad that they're at least speaking tough, because, let's be honest, they haven't been talking tough for a while now. so that's one step in the rise direction. but if you're just going to release them afterwards when they're committing these kinds of crimes and stealing such high value items in sufficient a significant way terrorizing people while you're doing it, it doesn't fit. it doesn't make sense you're just going to release them. let's just say the guy shows up, what happens next? because i guarantee you they're going to plead down, it's going to go into some restorative justice program and no one's going to see jail time. >> trace: nope, nobody's going to see jail time. your show kind of broke and we're going to show the surveillance thing and you write the following, denise yep is writing for federal way city council on a campaign of protecting businesses from crime but she's also accused of shoplifting from a local business and it is not the first time. but, again, we kind of -- this is the same theme we're hitting, consequences are for suckers and chumps, right? >> yeah, exactly. when you know you're not going to suffer any meaningful consequences including in this case potentially politically no consequences you're going to continue to do it and when i looked in her background to see she had plead guilty in the past there was another case as well that ended up getting tossed. but this is someone who's clearly caught on camera, she claims she is the victim that she only put her hammers in her purse because she want them to fall on her feet which is ludicrous. but it is again it's put out there as if we're all dumb as if we're going to fall for this. >> trace: speaking of being dumb the washington examiner says quoting, dc mayor muriel bowser announces measures to combat rising crime rate as of tuesday 27% rise compared to this time last year, total violent crime up 38% total crime up 31% and the mayor comes back with this we will continue to double down on programs we know work and we remain focused on coming up with new and innovative ways to help our communities feel safer. she's talking about a juvenile curfew. your thoughts on this. >> we don't need invasion, you just need to do what you were doing before when it actually worked pre covid which is make arrests and then from. this idea we're going to have innovative programs because you're creating a kerr cue and if someone who is a minor gets caught goes into a program. doesn't mean anything. and as much as they're pushing forward with these new ideas or going back to the old i hope everyone in dc remembers the people now trying to fix the problem are the people who created the problem in the first place so they should suffer politically. >> trace: i hear innovation and i think can't we do fundamental, get away from innovation and go back to fundamentals. jason rantz thank you as always. >> thank you. >> trace: coming up kids killing kids, what's really behind america's juvenile crime crisis. psychiatrist and former ms. laguna beach dr. safai joins us next and later in the nightcap was becoming an adult everything you thought it would be?

>> i mean the reasons you mentioned a few of them right? the pandemic kind of destructed the social structure kids had their after school activities combine that with mental crisis already brewing and combine that with access to guns you have a recipe for disaster. but overall overarching thing is kids don't have coping skills to deal with life's tressors they use violence when they encounter conflict. what to do, this might be unpopular opinion but i think there should be harsher crimes for those small creeds because kids need to be faced with consequences, they cannot conceptualize consequences they need to face them and you want to prevent the smaller crimes before you get to the larger crimes. >> trace: brocken windows for young people. gaming addictions, you talk about coping mechanisms, gaming addictions ruined lives as players lost jobs skipped school to play video games. the worth health organization say it impact 8% of gamers under the age of 18, big number one out of ten almost. >> gaming a i cans did is like any other type of addiction, reinforced by the see increasings of a very powerful substance in our brain called dope mean and that happens within all addictions. when you win a game you have a dope mean spike, that feels good and leaves you long for more so kids are likely to go back to get the same high they did, dope mean spike when they played activities. problem is a lot of kids were facing mental health issues, anxiety depression, go and play the game to get away with it. so gaming addiction, look at the underlying condition to see what's there and if it isn't there treat it like any other kind of addiction, cutting cold turkey might be the solution here. >> trace: speaking of dope mean let's talk about snow white, the woman starring in the new snow white said this about the old snow white. >> the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so. there's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. weird. weird. >> super weird. >> so we didn't do that this time. >> trace: i'm sure she's going to be a great snow white but the concept, for almost a hundred years young generations of girls watching prince charming and never considered him a stalker and, you know, the whole thing is kind of unique of where we're going. >> exactly. you know, this movie was made in the 1930s, we had different social attitudes back then. it's a classic leave it in the past. and fists given the privilege to play a role of an icon i would play it with more respect. that's all. >> trace: in chicago a youth group asking gangs to quit shooting from 9:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night. seems perfect positives truss but what's the thinking. >> the thing is kids ideal eyes kids so they might issue when a gang is giving orders. we don't know let's see what happens. >> trace: we will see doctor safai thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: cutting costs and raising prices what's up with streaming companies jacking up the costs and how industry trends may impact your favorite fall tv shows. plus, have you ever seen a dog who loves to knee board?

(soft music) >> trace: streaming is now becoming more and more popular for american tv viewers but hold your wallet because the prices, if you want commercial free, are going way up. welcome to stream flailings, let's bring in vat america's director and pop culture and entertainment expert jacqui jordan. thank you both. seth, i want to put these on the board. this is the ad streaming cost. you see netflix 15.49 now, disney plus doubled their price, 13.99 hbo max 59.99 and hulu and all these other ones. hitting like 75 bucks for these things and sometimes you still have to watch the ads. >> yeah, what's happening now is i think the studios and the streamers have figured out there are different price points out there that consumers might not be so price sensitive on the subscription side of things, disney seeing it so is netflix so pushing that price up and the mid tier, the average revenue per user on the ad supported stuff so they're emphasizing the free plans too, all about profitability not just getting subscribers and building programming. probably a smart strategy. >> trace: jacqui i remember reading, they're all about eyeballs. just sign up everybody, get eyeballs and now they genuinely need revenue to actually survive. >> well, it's so interesting because they take up 62% of the marketplace for media assets, and the timing for this is really interesting, obviously we're in a recession but also in an actors and writer's strikes and they're fighting over residuals for streaming rights while the companies are raising the price right now for the consumers. so it's ironic timing. >> trace: it really is. i want to move on to the next subject because is anybody watching following this blind side lawsuit, you know, with michael orr going after the to you touey family. but why are they asking sandra bullock to return her oscar? what's the point? why are you attacking sandra bullock. >> i couldn't agree more with you on that. it's not the thing to attack her about but they're calling this a white savior story so they're going after -- there's a hint of racism in here but if you look at the best picture movies the past couple years there's been a lot of social minority stories being promoted so to go after sandra bullock is ironic and a distortion and from the same exact community that is also saying that, you know, a lot of these white actresses ended up adopting black children. so the logic for sandra bullock to have to give back her oscar because it's a white savior story is all a complete distortion. >> reporter:. >> trace: speaking of white savior story this is the author of the white savior film it's a common theme where the black person being saved has to be almost rescued from blackness itself the message the closer to whiteness you become the more your problems are solved. i think what jacqui's saying there, i don't quite get it. if you're an actor you can play whatever you want to play and it doesn't mean you're actually doing whatever the person -- it's like playing hitler in a movie not like you did something nefarious. >> there is a tradition going back to the kill a mocking bird and all the way through of this white savior factor and it's a difficult slippery slope here. i think in the creation and writing of hollywood pictures over time, and we're going back, there probably wasn't enough diversity representation so you see that in some of these stories. i think the good news is you're starting to see so many different pictures, whether it's barbie or get out or even squid games coming from lots of different angles and i think, i don't know if something like this picture, this was 12 years ago, right, when it was released? they're not marketed the same way right now anyway. and the oscar stuff is ridiculous because it wouldn't make any difference at all so it is absurd. >> in the last couple years in our oscar lineup we've had 12 years a slave, two years ago we had coda, child of disabled adults. so, you know, we've definitely had a lot of minority representation in flames in the last decade, unlike -- you know, so we've definitely hit the quota in our stories. so to come back and do a retro pull is kind of ironic. >> trace: ten seconds wrap us up seth? >> basically i think the future's brighter for this just because of the diversity of programming is being met. i think the academy's changed and all these different streamers outlet, whether they stay in business or not will continue to offer lots of different kinds of programming to keep audiences out there. >> mike louis wrote a great book. >> trace: michael he did write a great book and also wrote money ball people know as well. >> money ball exactly. >> trace: jacqui, seth, great to have you both on. thank you ♪ . >> trace: first up in tonight's viral videos this daring pug named levy gave knee boarding a try during his family's boating trip. levy loves other water activities and was right at home on the knee board even as the boat picked up a little bit of speed there. nicely done levy. >> i wrote it the first day, opening day and was like oh, my gosh, this is how a roller coaster should be. i love this thing. i rode it the rest of the day. >> trace: that's renegade mike at the valley fair amusement for having ridden the renegade coaster 23 thousand times over the past few years. he admits he might be slightly addicted to the ride, we should bring back dr. safai. he goes nearly every day the park is open. crazy, fun. ♪ ♪ >> trace: come on seth that's good right. >> i'll sign him up. >> trace: a toddler going viral on tik tok for this invoice cal performance, it's a throwback the mom post. he is now eight years old he sang his heart out as the family strummed guitar. the family says the interpretive lyrics are his own. if you have a viral video to share share us with us at trace gallagher or at fox news >> and coming up adulting the is hard, what is one thing that seems fun or amazing to you as a kid that once you grew up wasn't fun at all. still time to weigh in on x and instagram the fox nightcap crew is next. but first a live look at niagara falls canada. honeymoon anyone?
