remarks, appear to criticize both former president and his supporters. >> we have a strand in our party that views supporting trump as whether you are a rhino or not so you can be the most conservative person sliced bread unless your kissing his rear end, they will call you a rhino. if you are not rooted in principle, if all we are are listless vessels to follow whatever happens to come down the pike every morning, that's not going to be durable. >> and of course those comments ignited a firestorm on social media. desantis press secretary responded saying the dishonest media refuses to report facts donald trump and congressional endorsers her listless vessels. trump and d.c. insiders feel he is entitled to your boat. ron desantis believes your trust should be erred a sufficient plan record joe biden. reverse the decline of our country. that's what ron desantis will show up when tonight to debate and donald trump will not. joining me now to react, congresswoman nancy mase. thank you for joining the program. >> good to see you. >> i know you and the former president differences. i think he found 12 primary you but what you make? >> we won big, too. >> you did, congresswoman. what you make of these comments from ron desantis? >> i don't know why anyone running for president with a gun kat of the electorate and identify them and call them listless vessels because they support the former president and he and i don't always see eye to eye but i call it like i see it. why he would do that while numbers are taking is beyond me and one reason you see vivek ramaswamy and tim scott and nikki haley, the numbers aren't on the rise and on the hunt in iowa and new hampshire and north carolina but the debate will be interesting wednesday night, i hope all eyes are watching it and paying attention to wrote who is running and why and how. >> he also said in this exchange, it seems like he was going to people in the room and house you make laws in, listen to these other comments. >> it's been totally detached from principal in which you believe and result in us more about what faction you happen to do so there will be people who are huge trump supporters like the congress with incredibly left-wing records that is atrocious get viewed by some of these folks as the good. >> i know the governor has this philosophy of never backing down but if you want people to vote, endorse you, maybe you shouldn't attack them. >> probably got, probably shouldn't question the principles or values or how conservative they are and donald trump and i don't always see eye to eye but i felt like i see it, i've been able to see indictments for what they are and put the past behind us because we have to move our country forward and when someone is treated wrong, i call it like i see it and we shouldn't put down one conservative or the other. i've been labeled a lot of things and i want to see us have better freedom, a better economy and i want politicians to tell the truth and who want to rebuild the republican party, we have to support one another among conservatives and recognize that we have diverse conservative principles, a lot of people come from a lot of backgrounds and support different candidates and we have to respect the process and the people in the boat they take during the primary do not want to switch gears, i know there are rumors or talk about "wall street journal" editorial. you may be the vp, there is talk about vivek ramaswamy you talked to earlier about being the vp. he seemed to shut that down, this is what he had to say. >> focuses, often clear, i'm not interested in a different position in the government. a dry change to the sector becoming number two or three in the federal government. it's not about ego. >> it's a heartbeat away from the presidency. are you saying you would turn it down if offered? >> i am and the reason if this were about my quest for personal power, that makes sense but that's not what it's about. this is about reviving our missing national identity think the next generation of americans that the disaffected from politics. >> what you make of it? >> i met vivek ramaswamy for the first time about two or three hours ago, he is a very smart young man, hard-working. i would not put down anyone who accepts the role of vice president as a role for personal power. i think a lot of our candidates in the presidential field want to see our country move forward in want to see us successful in want a future for our children and grandchildren so i would respect anybody who took that job, and went on the presidential stage is president or vice president. as far as myself, i appreciate the question, a lot of people are asking about that, and a great focus on south carolina, delivered great results of the country, i love serving below country and i want to see all of us, once the primary is behind us, i want to see all of us come together and blown out of the water. if people can see what i've seen with the biden crime family, corruption happening over years with joe biden in the family, who got a clean house and it starts at the top but if we can get the white house back and that starts next year once we nominate our president. >> we are going to have a conversation later on in the show because apparently there is a new squatter in the white house, hunter biden. i hope you get to the bottom of that. thank you for joining the program. >> thank you, lawrence. >> while all eyes are on the primary field, there are of course more scandals brewing for joe biden no matter how much he tries to distance himself, each headlight involving his son hunter was casting doubt whether he will even make the 2024 finale. this week we learned hunter biden is secretly -- he secretly stayed in the white house two weeks after he secured his now failed sweetheart plea deal. those details were of course hidden from the white house staffers. joining me to discuss, this was a president the promise on the campaign said there would be some normalcy that he would be this law and order got to get rid of corruption and now we find out his son was living in the white house while his department of justice is giving him a sweetheart deal they even told the judge is unprecedented. >> living in the white house to coordinate this but somehow white house aides were not even aware he was there so speaking to the back halls? this is bizarre we are hearing and he's sneakily living in the white house and the american people don't know but the timing is the shady part, the fact that he is negotiating this note on the white house grounds and he goes in and finds out the deal doesn't go through, the judge thinks it's fishy because the judge said this is unprecedented. we've never seen anything like this before and then a few days later mysteriously let's not forget, there is cocaine bound at the white house and everybody goes, we have no idea how this could have gotten here we also didn't know hunter biden was a bizarre coincidence, don't you think? >> i don't like lack of transparency with american people. it seems like we are being lied to, are not given all the facts and it's important to note we had an entire election where they said there was no connection with the big guy's laptop was real, these former intelligence officials signed on to the letter, what do you make of all of this unraveling for the american people to see? >> a lot of the american people even on the other side even on the democrats have to look at this and say this is president listed in the debate and said no, my son did not take money from china, i never had any involvement in business dealings and this was him addressing the american people directly when he was asked and he knew he was standing there to talk directly to us as the voter. he looked in our faces and live inside my son did not do this and now he's taking his son and sheltering him in the people's white house putting them in our white house saying i'm going to keep them protected from all of you from the crimes he's committed. this is outrageous. of course the american people are wondering, even democrats are starting to stand up and go i don't know, this is fishy. >> even jake tapper had something to say to be not? enough trump was right, he did make a fortune from china and joe biden was wrong, i don't know that he was lying, he might not have been told by hunter but this line side is a problem. >> there you have it. even jake tapper is saying the same thing. >> he says trump was right and maybe he didn't know about it but we see text messages and shell companies and the message that says pay for all of the house issues, the message to his daughter saying i've paid for a really long time, we know there was money going back and forth and it's hard to believe joe biden vice president at the time joe biden did not know about this. >> they keep telling us, a father's love. we believe differently. thank you for joining the program. i've been sitting down with young voters across the country looking for something more than 2024 and those i spoke with in new hampshire seem to concerned about their economic future to reelect joe biden so asked thoughts about the state of the country and what they hope the next president will be able to accomplish. starting from the left, carson is a republican sophomore at the university of new hampshire. 27-year-old democrat, just is a 28-year-old democrat representative in the new hampshire house legislature. a democrat freshman at dartmouth college, valerie is an 18-year-old republican new hampshire house and joseph is a 24-year-old elected regional vice president chair for new hampshire, republicans. let's get started. new hampshire is a swing state and all eyes are on tendency. what you think is the number one issue for your generation? >> cost of living. if things keep going the way you are, or going to be able to afford a home because the cost of housing is astronomical. >> the biden administration is punishing us. >> a lot of people in my age group can't afford to buy a home. it's harder and harder to keep up. >> for me as school safety. i feel our generation is fed up with the government not protecting our right to live. >> the economy trying to get ahead and trying to start our lives is increasingly difficult with inflation. >> the most important issue coming into the next election cycle is college affordability as well as student loan forgiveness and one half of congress is in support and the other half where you have blatant hypocrisy where they vote against student loan forgiveness while on the other hand have millions on millions of their own personal ppp loans forgiven. >> i saw your smile, you disagrees? >> i do disagree. when someone enters into any contractual agreement such as taking out loans for college, there's an obligation to pay that back. >> joe biden, our generation gen z got him elected and he hasn't helped the students. >> 7 million new gen z are going into a able to vote this coming election and it is important they will have to start messaging to the group that's going to get them elected and that is gen z. >> took a big step in decided to volunteer to be a state representative. you feel your colleagues take you seriously when you but for your constituents? >> i do think so. being willing to step in, put your hat in the race so to speak and run for office is key in bringing the issues to the forefront being willing to make them part of the discussion. >> you bring somebody in on the other side of the aisle in the same house, do you feel your colleagues, a young representative seriously? >> it's important for our generation to step up and get involved so it's important to vote but also run for office and myself, i was elected at 18 years old, and incredible experience and i have no regrets whatsoever. >> would you like to see run for office? >> on the democrat side, i'm excited to reelect president biden. i think he's had a good four years. >> he's too old, can't go a week without thinking another path and embarrassing our country on the national stage. >> really do respect what biden has done and i do think he is what we need in that time but i can't help feel he is the safe option and i am tired of going for the safe option. >> he's a embarrassment to the democrat party. i do think according to all polls donald trump is the likely contender. >> i'd rather not see a man with numerous federal indictments on a national ticket. >> i'm not entirely sold on anybody on either side. >> are there any issues gen z cares about the average politician does not? you want them to focus more? >> reforming gun policies, they are not working for their best interest. i think there is a level of i'm going to take this into my own hands and do what i need to survive. is that right? absolutely not. >> i didn't see people robbing stores in california day in and stay out without repression under donald trump's presidency. >> i think supporting and protecting lgbtq plus is important to me. >> the content is first on social media, it really seems the content is un-american and we have a crisis where students are becoming less and less patriotic and they learn to hate the country instead of recognizing america can be made better. >> if you can describe the state of our country in one word, what with the word be? >> we will just go sad. >> progress. >> we are at a crossroads. >> hearing. >> potential. >> struggling. >> the fight is on for parents rights over how they are dressed, transgender students in the classroom. the battle from the classroom to the courtroom next plus shocking inside look at an underground city. living underneath one of the nation's top tourist generations. don't go away. ♪ goli, taste your goals. one of the top issues concerning pairs across the country is the condition of our nation's schools and what's going on inside of those classrooms. parents rights groups have seen a sharp rise in enthusiasm in many states with new policies that give them more control over their children's education. virginia is one of those states were governor when duncan and budget minted new policies addressing transgender students and their parents but this week a number of schools announced they would divide the governor's approach and take matters into their own hands. parents in these districts are speaking out demanding to be fully informed about what's going on with their children inside the classroom behind closed doors. stephanie is one of those parents and she's joining me along with discovery institute senior fellow doctor carrie ingram. thank you for joining the program. >> thanks for having us. >> i want to get to this interesting pulling, addressing the matter in the coaster a number of issues about what's happening in the school. when it came to reading and writing, they said 3%, good citizenship or% too much. racism in the country 26% but when you go into the sexual orientation and gender, 48% of the folks we talked to said too much inside of the schools so i guess i will go to you, stephanie. what do you want to see happen? >> first of all, thank you for having me on the shelf. i think what's happening is just the transgender students, it's for all students, the safety of all students so one of the things fairfax county isn't complying with his bathroom use and locker room use based on biological sex is that of gender and that's the safety of all students so it would be interesting to ask parents across the county, do you want male and female students to share bathrooms together? i think you will find overwhelmingly across the aisle democrat and republican nobody thinks it's a good idea for male and female students to share restrooms together. basically what's happening is a complete assault on parental rights so i would like to see real safety be given priority in the second thing i would like to see his parental rights are honored and valued, one think they are doing is if your child decides they are the opposite gender of their biological sex, employees are trained to keep secrets from the parents and that's not illegal in the state of virginia, it's immoral so these things should not be happening at all and i would like to see fairfax county take as parents rights seriously and be concerned about the safety and well-being of all students. >> i have to go to you, carrie this is not just happening in virginia, it's happening across the country. i was reading in new jersey, a judge temporarily blocked the school district from notifying parents of child gender identity change so they can have surgery on your child and change their identity and the parents not even be notified. what world are we living in? you feed them, close them and put a roof over their head and you don't get to know what's going on? >> you are exactly right, it's happening all over the country and more than 1000 school districts rehashed school districts training teachers and their two not only help a student transition but keep that in secret from paris and what they are doing is attacking identity of these children and when a child is in crisis is nobody better moms and dads to step up, they've known the child since birth, they love them the most and to be there for the child but school districts are saying we know better and we will follow them down the social contagion all the way to irreversible damage in their lives because they are treating these children like government children is not moms and dads. >> i think what they are missing because so often this turns into anti- trends, this conversation has nothing to do with that. this happens to mean the parents should be notified about their children and i don't understand why we can't have that conversation. >> and what time to parents become the enemy of the state? at first the department of justice says if you attend a school board meeting or some kind of domestic terrorists and now they're jumping to go to a surgeon that parents are somehow abusive and schools know what is best for children. an abomination. absolutely terrible. it should not be happening. >> it makes no sense to any of us and majority of americans judging by this polling as well. thank you for coming on tonight. they been dumped old people in las vegas, homeless people below simcity. we'll see this story but you won't believe it. that's next. ♪ >> serial killers can be targeted. >> i hate being hated for what others do. we, the moms who have lost our children to social media harms. we, we, we have had enough. our politicians have failed. working for lobbyists, not us. we need your voice to pass the kids online safety act this fall. join us. join us. join us. join us.

we talk about fentanyl but i don't feel we are talking about the mental and the diction problem in the country. >> i think a lot of people misunderstand opioid addiction as a choice and they don't understand it is a disease. it changes people, their brain, their pattern and a lot of times they passed it off as a choice or lifestyle some people want to live. my son was an athlete and didn't mess around with drugs and i was with them all the time, and did martial arts together and football and all that and was in the desert and broke his back and had surgery and the doctors prescribed oxycontin and when that were off through the day and started to get sick, he went back and doubled prescription and doubled the amount milligrams amount until he was hopelessly addicted. >> kelly, so often we hear from parents and they say not my son, not my daughter. it's a hard conversation to have but were there any signs you can share with the audience that they can say i see this in my child, i should be concerned? >> definitely -- matthew was injured a lot like this other man here and was prescribed oxycontin at young age so over period of time it kept coming but oxycontin kept coming, too and it was shocking how bad the addiction became. he would sober up but when he would injure himself again and get back into it, it was shocking how far down he would go. he would overdose often, overdose. >> roger, the story kelly is sharing his similar to yours. similar to a lot of americans. what the comet, so many americans think okay, we are just talking about people who are addicts, i don't think they consider the amount of people who fall to it by prescription. >> i believe a lot of people feel like i said it is a priority, people are doing drugs at parties, they don't -- my wife and i didn't understand first began because we had a doctor prescribed and work on his back and each one kept prescribing more and more and did through doctors. it wasn't him going out partying and buying drugs, he got this -- a lot of people don't understand even my own friends told me it's their choice, it's the life they live and they have stigma about addictions they are don't understand it is a disease, it is a disease that changes them and he tried hard. we had been through we have programs in such a big heart. he knew what he was doing, he hated what it made him do but he couldn't kick it, and brought him back over and over again. >> i appreciate you being vulnerable, i hope we can find a solution in the near future, we are going to keep talking about it. >> i had to say about this painkiller movie, i'm so glad came out, i've made a lot of calls from friends of mine the said they had no idea, not just kids but adults, we have police in our program and they were prescribed pills and became addicted. i'm glad they are bringing that out there and the sackler's and purdue pharmacy they did this just for money. >> thank you all for joining us. new york's top leaders can't stop fighting over the handling of migrant crisis. they are addressing it in their own state and city's so liberal leaders can't stop fingerprinting forced to address the migrant presence. new york dealing with a fraction of the migrants flooding our u.s. southern border. something southern states have been dealing with for years already. new york city's mayor can't stop over the situation. kathy hochul released a letter in which she called out mayor eric adams for not doing enough. adams is saying the governor needs to issue executive order before the further out of control. former new york city mayoral candidate joins the onset, both of them were in favor of sanctuary cities, both of their fault. they should work together to solve it maybe or maybe they should vote for you to be mayor. >> that would be the wisest decision. i'm coming after him to save our city but they are not on the book the says were a sanctuary city or state, it's of proclamation. you could resend that any moment and say stop, stay on the bus, we will give you a box lunch. joe biden, he's the one who wanted you in, go to the white house. they have the national mall between the lincoln memorial and washington monument. put the tent there, but d.c., they created this disaster, let them deal with it but it's about the money billions of dollars at stake and now they are going on one another, show me the money, where's the money? no receipt, no invoice so you say let's follow them to their cronies. >> good points. i want to bring in doctor siegel because this has become a health emergency, this is how the new york polls put it, it creates a political emergency, lawmakers must act. >> that's an op-ed i wrote because i feel strongly about this. chris is right, there's all this back-and-forth between the mayor and governor and nobody wants to spend the money or take 20 million a month to put people over on directors on it but where's the fence?
