>> i don't think this is a losing issue for democrats. i think parents, if they want their children to learn certain things based on relibs views, should send their kids to a religious school. they have a the that right, and they absolutely should. i think we need to start focusing more on letting teachers and educators set an agenda as they've done for hundreds of years in this country and teach the our students and get politics out of our schools. we've let politics get into every aspect of our lives. it doesn't have to be in our schools. kids should get taught compassion, equity, equality and understanding. they should also be taught reading, writing and arithmetic. it's a shame that in arkansas we've decided that african-american history can't be taught, but european-american history can be. brief griff right. >> we need to get politics out of this. go back to teachers and educators actually taught and parents worked with them the, didn't protest them. if these parents are so upset e, send your kid to a religious school. you have that option. there are millions of them around the country. griff: but, and i understand your point, jonathan. you're saying if they have these religious beliefs, send them to a religious school. but here's the reality, and, chris, i'll let you take it up from here, but these parents tell me that they can't afford to do that. they don't have a choice and the school board doesn't want to work with them. they have been for months trying to petition them to get their views heard in this opt policy which was in place last year removed because so many people were opting out, apparently. chris, i'll let you take it. >> look, we live in a country where parents should be able to have confidence in their public institutions including public schools and that sending their kids there won't conflict with their first amendment and religious freedom rights. i don't think that it's -- it's not ale listic to expect parents to just send their kids to religious schools for the reasons that you mentioned, but i agree fully we should be taking politics out of the classroom and having all this lgbt stuff this there and putting parents on edge is really not the way we should be doing this. and we should, in fact, be taking politics out of that and that includes allowing for their religious are freedom to be respected. griff: jonathan, let me put up one of our fox news latest polls about public schools and what they teach on. you mentioned the fundamentals. when it comes to reading and writing, you know, obviously 54% say it's too late. good citizenship, 70% said too too little. but when it came to sexual orientation and gender, registered voters, 48, nearly half, said that the public schools are teaching too much, and many critics say that it's the politics of the teachers unions that are driving this overfocus on these gender issues. what do you say? >> i say that i think a lot of this is overblown. and when you actually talk to teachers about what they're teaching, one of this comes up. it's the same debate we had with crt. it doesn't actually get taught in elementary schools. it doesn't get taught in high schools. it's a graduate school program for college kids. but we made a huge issue about that, and then it turned out to be absolute nonsense that was taught by, like, 1% of the teachers. when you actually talk to the teachers about what they're teaching, none of this comes up. but when you have people infacilitating it and making it a -- inflating it and making it a big issue, this is why people think it's actually happening. it's not actually happening. if you sat in an elementary school classroom, you would not hear lgbt issues being discussed at all. griff: well, i've got to stop you there not to knock you down, but these books in the montgomery county case, these books like pride if puppy and some other ones that the parents oppose to starts at kindergarten and up. so it is in elementary -- >> it's a symbol of -- griff: and parents are saying that the children, they oppose it. one mom poses it because they're simply too young to understand it. i want to go to chris because jonathan points out about people, you know, criticizing it. republicans are the the loudest. but here's what i want to know, chris, why is it that that one of the republican candidates on that stage or former president trump hasn't put out some sort of bill of rights for parents in schools? hasn't really laid out a vision other than saying yeah, i'll just do the youngkin playbook? let's see some concrete solutions and ideas of how to deal with this. >> look, the first thing i'll say is i absolutely think that this is a big issue. i think it's, frankly, con condescending to the concerns of parents to say this is overblown or that the things they are seeing firsthand their children are being taught every day with explicit material is somehow being overblown. i don't think that's true. i don't think it reflects the concerns of parents. and i agree with you, griff, i think that republicans do have a a duty to come up with some kind of in-depth policy solution to this because, honestly, republicans are talking the language of parents, they want kids to be taught primarily by parents, and they want politics out of the classroom, and they should be coming up with solutions that reflect that position that meet parents where they are in their concern cans. griff: jonathan, i've only got, like, 15 seconds, but i want to give you the last word. >> i'm not worried about a book called pride puppy damaging any kids' brains as they grow up, and i think more kids need to learn how to read and write, and we should be focused on that and get more of that into the classrooms. griff: all right, jonathan, chris, thanks for the deep dive. i personally believe that this is probably going to be an issue on the campaign trail. we'll see as we move forward in the election, a year and a half away. thanks, guys. aishah? aishah: want to get to a fox news alert now. seven people are in the hospital this morning after a shooting at the caribbean festival in dorchester, massachusetts. officials there on the ground are reporting several arrests. they've also recovered multiple weapons in that scene, in that area you see there, and they are telling us that shooting victims are said to have non-life-threatening injuries. we're going to keep track of this developing story and bring you the very latest. i believe there was a a press conference, we'll bring you the latest from that as we get it. ♪ aishah: well, former ukrainian prosecutor general viktor shokin is alleging in an exclusive new interview with fox news that he was fired for investigating burisma during his time in the obama administration. lucas tomlinson is live outside the white house with more on that. lucas, is the white house reacting? >> reporter: yes, and we'll get to their statement in just a moment, aishah. as you mentioned, ukraine's former top prosecutor alleging that former vice president biden got him fired because he was investigating burisma, that ukrainian energy company where his son hunter sat on the board. >> translator: i do not the want to deal in unproven facts, but my firm personal conviction is that, yes, this was the case. they were being bribed. the the fact that joe biden gave away $1 billion in u.s. money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing, isn't that alone a case of corruption? >> reporter: shokin claims this admission from joe biden years later validates his claim. >> -- i'm leave anything six hours. if the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money. well, son of a [bleep] -- [laughter] got fired x. they put in place someone who was solid. at the time. >> reporter: now the, here's some more reaction to those comments in the last hour on your show. [no audio] >> then-vice president biden sure wishes he could take back that ridiculously inappropriate, childish, amateurish comment back. but that also goes to the point of if he truly were trying to help his son, why many god's name would he be so dumb as to basically announce it to the world with that ridiculous statement? >> reporter: and here's that reaction from the white house, aishah, pushing back strongly on shokin's comments saying a former ukrainian prosecutor general whose office's own deputy called it, quote, a hotbed of corruption not only from then-vice president biden but also from u.s. diplomats, international partners and republican senators like ron johnson. shokin also blamed the obama administration for what he called inaction after russia launched its invasion and annexation of crimea in 2014. he said that paved the way for putin launching his full scale invasion of ukraine 18 months ago. aishah? aishah: lucas tomlinson live at the white house, thanks. griff: four people including at least one student were shot and injured at a high school football game in oklahoma last night. video from the incident shows players and speck spectators cram is bling to safe -- scrambling to safety as the shots rang out. bryan llenas is live9 with the latest on this story. >> reporter: we just received an update from the choctaw police department. they now say three people were shot, not four, including a 16-year-old male who has since died from their wounds. he was shot in the groin area. a 42-year-old man was shot in the chest and is recovering in stable condition in the icu, and a young female was shot in the leg, she has been treated and released. this was the scene last night at a high school football game in choctaw, oklahoma. players and coaches and fans running for their lives after hearing gunshots from the visitors' side of the stadium. fans were ducking in the stands, and players and coaches dropped to the ground on the field for cover. the chaos was captured best by the announcers who were calling the game. listen. >> what is going on? [background sounds] >> what's happening? >> i have no idea what's happening. [background sounds] >> what is going on? >> reporter: police say the gunshots started after an argument between two males. two guns and eight rounds were found at the scene. there have been no arrests, and they are asking the public for help. a a person of interest is described as a tall black male wearing red sweat pants. now, security at high school football games is an issue nationwide. here in atlanta last week, an 18-year-old high school senior was shot three times in a parking lot leaving a high school game. and now he may never walk again. as a result, two counties have instituted stricter security measures including adding metal detectors and requiring only clear bags into the stadium. it is important to note that there were not any metal detectors used at the high school football game last night in oklahoma, but there were multiple police officers on scene including one when fired his gun and the other officers who tried to help save the lives of those who were wounded. griff? griff: terrifying to think of shooting ring -- shots ringing out at a football game. thank you, bryan. aishah: fox news is honoring the 60th anniversary of the historic march on on washington for freedom and jobs led by reverend martin luther king jr. in 1963 where king gave his iconic" i have a dream" speech to an estimated 250,000 people. kevin corke live on the ground at lincoln memorial with the latest. kevin, what is the mood, how are you feeling? >> reporter: quite a view here from where we're standing, aishah, because i'm able to see the reflecting pool and see the the crowds build by the thousands and, obviously,, iconic over my shoulder the great lincoln memorial. and they're telling us, the organizers, that this is much more than a commemoration. for them, a continuation of the hard work toward the dream. but it's really, frankly, a reflection of how far we've come as a nation since that fateful day, as you point out, back in 1963. we have seen so much progress, and yet it's a powerful reminder also of a pomsing future that we will all see as long as we share in the same vision and keep working together as one american family. now, when dr. king spoke here back in 1963, as you say, about a quarter of a million people witnessed what would become a seminal moment in american history. but it's what's happened since then, say organizers, that is truly historic. we're talking about historic e gains in political leadership, in economic and financial wealth as well as measurable gains in the number of people graduating from universities and filling the professional and blue char ranks, reflecting the dignity of hard work. indeed, it is the progress, but the work continues. >> i want to see this mosaic of america that is saying in unison i am the treatment. and we're going -- i am the dream. and we're going to work to do everything we can to ultimately realize the dream. >> reporter: back out live, mr. speakers here as we continue to await the official launch of the march. it's a celebration, aishah, of a collection of voices that continue to say this is about making sure that this remains one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. and that is the message we can all live with. back to you. aishah: amen. kevin corke, thank you for being live out there for us. we so appreciate it. >> reporter: you bet. griff: aishah, we're remembering the long life of game show host icon bob barker. that's next. astepro allergy, steroid free allergy relief that starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. with astepro's unbeatably fast allergy relief you can astepro and go! i need it cool at night. you trying to ice me out of the bed? baby, only on game nights. you know you are retired right? am i? ya! the queen sleep number c2 smart bed is now only $999. plus, 60-month financing on all smart beds. shop now only at sleep number. so many hotels...

"time" magazine named him the gratest game show host of all time, and he was also an animal rights activist. that was something that was very important to him, protecting animals from cruelty and abuse. his longtime friend nancy burnett who has overseen barker's care commented on that in a statement. she said, quote, i'm so proud of the trailblazing work barker and i did together to expose the cruelty to animals in the entertainment industry ask working to improve the plight of abused animals in the and internationally. we were great friends over these 40 years, he will be missed. barker was born in 1923 in darington, washington. his mother was a schoolteacher and his dad was a foreman that installed electrical high lines throughout the state of washington. so, you know, there he goes from having this mom as a teacher can and this dad who worked with electric call gear, and he becomes this famous show host. he also enlisted in the u.s. navy's reserves during world war ii, and he eventually moved to florida and became an editor and announcer for a local radio station that obviously had some big impact on him. he ended up moving to california, he wanted to chase his dreams in radio and in television. and after hosting some radio shows, clearly he became a success because he ended. with his incredible job as the host of "the price is right" for many years, just a legendary game show host and just tragic, his loss. what an incredible life he has lived. griff? griff: christina coleman in los angeles with the latest on this sad news, we'll check back in as the news warrants. thank you. you know, aishah, crust e teen that was talking about his naval history, and i think that's so fascinating because we really have so very few, if any actually, i don't know the answer, of world war ii for veterans who were the famous, you know, show business people and just now our lucas tomlin. son retweeting out a naval institute tweet saying that not only was he enlisted and served, this is him as a navy aviator. he served in world war for, and the naval institute says that he flew eight different type of aircraft from the wildcat to the corsair and really the whole part of american history where we had these irans that served that that then -- veterans that served that then became stars was something we held up, and there's so few of them left. it's just part of bob barker's story. many younger people will, of course, remember anymore movies like happy gill more where he fights with adam sandler, and he's just a guy of such remarkable personal history. and that's why we love him so much. aishah: what an incredible life. i'm so so glad that we found that picture and we were able to share that, because it just shows the different dimensions of bob barker and all the things that he accomplished in his very long, legendary life. and i'm sure so many stories are going to come out from different celebrities and folks that knew him about all the ways that he impacted their lives. what a brilliant man and so many more salutes to come for bob barker. so we'll keep watching this story as well, griff. meantime, russians are laying flowers many in memory of the head of russia's fearsome mercenary group the wagner group who reportedly died in a plane crash last week. we all saw the video, it was stunning. the kremlin is dismissing any allegations in that russian president vladimir putin was behind his death. so what does this death mean for putin and the war in ukraine? we'll discuss this with ivana sanders, research fellow at the foundations for defense of democracy. thank you so much, ivana, for joining us on this. i want to just get right into your head about in this because we have a sound bite of putin and his reaction to this death even though some are pointing the finger right at him. listen to this. spution. >> translator: as for this plane crash, first of all, i want to express the words of sincere condolence to the families of all who died. it is the always a tragedy. and these people a made the significant contribution to our common cause of a fighting with the neo-nazi regime in ukraine. we remember that, know that and will not forget. aishah: so he's giving his sympathies to the family. what do you make of in this? >> to begin with, when prigozhin led an armed mutiny back in june, he was already a man who was walking almost dead. whoever or believed that he would survive literally would live, like, in a fairy tale. putin never forgives, he never forgets, and he always retaliates against people who he consider traitor. and definitely prigozhin was, in his eyes, you know, one of them. of course it is, you know, the news going to claim that he had nothing to do with that and expressed sympathy. but anyone who understands how putin thinks and how he operates, there is very little doubt that russia's ministry of defense was actually not, was actually behind this thing. and i was, you know, absolutely not surprised to see that prigozhin was this time, you know, flew from the sky because putin either liked to treat hemo, his opponents, with tea or with window. so i was absolutely not surprised to see that. and putin also likes symbolism. let's not forget that prigozhin's death happened exactly two months on the same day when he led a mutiny trying to undermine putin's regime. aishah: so let's talk about what happens next because everyone is now watching the wagner group mercenaries, the people that are in belarus right now. so we know that putin is wanting them to give their allegiance to him. what do you think is going to happen with all those people? his army? >> to begin with, wagner is not only operating there. ing wagner is also operating in the middle east, wag her is also operating in africa -- wagner. and i don't think that wagner will just suddenly disappear. putin needs wagner because he needs mercenaries so he can claim all this possibility. and that's why he needs wagner whether it's going to have the same name in the future orbit, it's yet to be -- or not, it's yet to be seen. things in belarus are very, very interesting to watch because lukashenko, president of belarus, he was the one who offered basically an asylum to prigozhin which also shows his weakness and his not being with a credible partner and not being someone that can be trusted just like putin. we cannot trust people like putin and lukashenko. we already saw certaining wagner places in belarus already disappearing, and we shall see what will happen because already poland and the baltic states are very concern about the border. but nevertheless, i do believe still that the wagner group will operate, will still operate in places such as africa definitely because it's a very lucrative job for them. aishah: okay. but in terms of ukraine and this war that is ongoing, can this death which was literally caught on video, can it be used to reinvigorate the russian army and the russian people? because we were just talking off camera, the russian psychology very different from the american. sometimes we think, oh, they'll just get frustrated with putin and they'll want to get rid of him. that's not so much the case. >> absolutely. when this, when, with the death of prigozhin, actually, it was very interesting what was happening inside russia because the far-right groups were absolutely very upset with what happened and with the morale of army. however, whoever believes that this can cause further chaos inside russia with the current leadership is sorely mistaken because let's also face the truth. more than 50% of people inside russia believe putin is a great leader which can means that whoever comes after putin will be someone even more rah call. aishah: well, this is just boeing to embolden him even worse. >> absolutely. aishah: ivana, thank you for joining us and all the insight into putin's mind, we appreciate it. >> thank you. griff

and common sense. let them get the work authorization, let them work legally, let hem work. griff: that was democratic governor kathy hochuling asking the biden administration to grant asylum seekers work permits. this as video obtained by "the new york post" here showing large numbers of migrants entering along the arizona border through floodgates open by federal officials to accommodate monsoon flooding. joining us now to talk about all this, president for the national border patrol if council brandon judd. brandon, a lot to dive into. i want to start with governor hochul there though basically saying let them work. i'm not sure if she understands the majority of migrants who have been coming, nearly 2 million of them illegally since joe biden took office, are coming for work. so it's almost, brandon, as if you were saying to your staff, hey, the welcome sign isn't bright enough, let's make it brighter so more come. have i got it wrong? >> no, you got it absolutely right. crime is out of control in the united states, on the border and if anybody wonders why, it's right there. our politicians are encouraging people to commit crimes. she is encouraging more people to come across our borders. if she says that we should be granting work permits to people that violate our laws, she's talking about rewarding them. and anytime we reward people for violating our laws, we can expect them to continue to violate those laws. they're going to continue to come if people like governor hochul are calling for work permits for these individuals. a our border is never going to be secure if politicianses continue to pander to a base ratter than what's -- rather than what's best for the united states. griff: i will at least give governor hochul some credit, because she did say the quiet part out loud and pointed the finger of blame at whose fault this is. take a listen here. >> this crisis originated with the federal government, and it must be resolved through the federal government. the borders and decisions about who can work are solely determined by the federal government. griff: she didn't su say joe biden's a name there i be, clearly, she's pointing to the policies of this administration that have brought the unprecedented numbers. >> yeah, absolutely. all have to do is look at what happened the moment biden took office. the moment he was sworn in we saw a huge increase in the number of people crossing our borders illegally. but it's not just people, it's the drugs that are coming in. the amount, the number of u.s. citizens that have died simply hintz he has been in office is -- since he has been in office, we've never seen anything like it. we've never seen the numbers of people or drugs, and it falls directly on biden's shoulders because of his policies. griff: and lastly before we run out of time, i want to show you that video that the new york post shot there in the border here the station of migrants just walking in because the floodgates are open, welded open actually because of the designated monsoon season. what's going on here in. >> this is typical dhs, cbp and the border patrol, they're acting in a manner that is not consistent with the rule of law. when they open up these gates, we have seen one of smallest monsoon seasons that we've seen in a long time. there was no reason to open up these gates. but when you watch these videos, what's amazing is how quickly the cartels can exloin our witnesses. they got these individuals to those flood dates almost immediately because they surveil us. again, we cannot control the border if we do not have have proper policies. opening those floodgates at a time when they did not not need to be show we were weak, and the cartels exploited it. griff: brandon judd, great insight, and it's a tough image to see. in fairness to border patrol, i know the resources are limited, but perhaps close those gates. brandon 1kwrud, thank you very much. >> thank you, griff. aishah: well, on to something else here, ticket prices are soaring for tonight's inter miami versus new york red bulls matchup where lionel messi is scheduled to make his highly anticipated mls regular season debut. and who else is there but c.b. cotton live at red e bull arena in harrison, new jersey. oh, c.b., i'm so jealous. i just want to see lionel messi once in person. >> reporter: well, aishah, one thing is for certain, it'll cost you to be a star-struck soccer fan here at red bull arena here today. a up couple of weeks ago you could find a single ticket for around $40-50, now some of them are going for tens of thousands of dollars. and you can thank what's called messsixer madness for the sticker -- messsixer madness. lionel messi now playing for inter miami and will face

play as a substitute. but either way with all this interest, aishah, the game will be shown live tonight in times square beginning at i 7:30. back to you. aishah: i hope you get to see him at some

what is happening with this covid resurgence? a lot of folks are talking about it, we don't really know what's coming. we know some hospitalizations are up but not as much as last year. what's going on? >> always great to be with you, aishah. first of all, you know, everyone remembers every single end of summer since we started in 2020 we've always had a resurgence of cases towards the end of summer, beginning of school year. that's happening right now so, yes, you're seeing covid cases on the rise. good muse is hospitalizations are about 20-25% now what they were last year. so hospitalizations are still down, but you're going to see an uptick in hospitalizations because the more people who test positive, you're going to have some hospitalizations. it's just the ebb and flow of this. it's going to be, you know, cold covid and flu season, so we're going to have a lot of respiratory viruses, and every winter/fall, you're going to see a rise in cases. what people are talking about right now, you mentioned it, the variants. we have heard about this eg-5, and that is essentially similar to omicron which everybody's heard about. it's about 20% of cases here in the united states. thankfully, even though there are some mutations in it, it is still similar enough that tests are able to detect it, and and our immunity still probably protects against the most severe illness. now, what you see people like scientists and public health officials are really looking at right now is the ba-26 variant. now, that is a highly mutated variant different from omicron. the profile suggests that our tests are still going to be able to capture it, and it is likely that the upcoming fall booster shot may still offer some protection, but the truth is we don't exactly know. aishah: so really quickly because we're coming up on this break here, nicole, is so these colleges like the one in atlanta that are going way back to those 2020 mandates, practically back to when covid first started, not only mask mandates, but also temperature checks, social distancing, contact tracing, no large gatherings, some people are calling that hysteria. is it? >> hysteria, i mean, maybe you can call it that but, ultimately, all the data has shown that these mandates don't actually decrease transmission. if you want to the wear masks, high quality mask, they do confer some protection and we recommend them on an individual basis. these a mask mandates and mandates and boosters for all have no place going into 2023. aishah: yeah. you've got congress and marjorie taylor greene down there saying americans have had enough, we will knot comply if. dr. nicole saphier, thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate your thoughts on this. all right, that's it for us this hour. requests fox news live" continues with eric shawn and and alicia acuna. i'm aishah huffny. griff: i'm griff jenkins, thanks for watching. conquer financial reports. conquer 2000-word essays. conquer a 6 course menu. rule over what you write with the smooth writing, longest lasting gel ink pen in america. do you g2?
