closed for another month. we'll take you there. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that is it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. have you seen this show "fox news primetime"? you really should it's hosted this week by lawrence jones and he starts right now. hi, lawrence. >> lawrence: thank you, bret. great show as always. good evening and welcome to "fox news primetime." ♪ ♪ >> lawrence: i'm lawrence jones in new york. and tonight the fight against the permanent pandemic state continue -- continue to roll out plans for a vaccine passport, some leaders are standing up for privacy and the freedom for americans to make their own decision about what they do with their bodies and what information they share with the government. governor brian kemp, who is the -- i'm sorry the governor of georgia will be here in a minute. he issued an order yesterday

banning vaccine passports and for that he should be applauded. the vaccine passport controversy is a small part of the larger discussion about vaccine hesitancy and are push to shame or those who have not been vaccinated. let's get this out of the way. in no way am i anti-vaccination. i had covid last spring and i just recently after learning that my antibodies were gone, i got the vaccine. but i had had to think about it i had to do my own research. i had to ask a lot of questions. after all the vaccines are basically brand new and authorized for emergency use. and even though so farther data surrounding them looks good, that data is still emerging. and i understand the reservations of my community given the way black soldiers were treated during the tuskegee experiment. i think it's fair that we should be allowed to check if the water is fine before dipping our toes in the pool. the problem is we gave away too many personal freedoms to the federal government at the beginning of this pandemic.

we consented to lockdowns, mass mandates, travel shutdowns and once you surrender your freedoms to the state, you will do whatever it can to hold on to them. once it returns to pre-pandemic life, get the vaccine. remember when joe biden said this? >> get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. it's vaccinationed or mask. >> lawrence: that wasn't a suggestion, that was a threat. want your personal freedoms back submit to the statement don't you dare ask any questions. joining me now republican governor of georgia brian kemp, governor, thank you so much for joining me. tell me a little bit about this. there is a lot of talk about these vaccines. you are saying on the state level you can't do that in georgia. why did you make that decision. >> lawrence i feel like i need to keep you keep preaching. your message is exactly right.

that's why we took the actions we did in the great state of georgia from a state perspective, not to mandate the vaccine. we're not gonna mandate the kids going back to public colleges in georgia or k through 12 system in georgia or getting any government service or needing help from the government agencies. we're not going to check to see whether people have been vaccinated or not. you know, fundamentally, i'm with you on that. people have got to get comfortable, i mean, you know, this vaccine like you said, it is a medical miracle. operation warp speed what president trump has done is unreal. people have got to be comfortable with it the mixed messages that have come out of the biden administration in many ways left some people uncomfortable and that's why i have been telling them make your own decision, talk to your medical provider, your local pharmacist or someone you trust. i think you get the vaccine that's very honorable for you to tell folks that. i have done it, my family has, i encourage people to do it. but they have got to get comfortable with that they don't

need the government telling them what to do. >> lawrence: why is there so much pushback on that very question? i have to admit i had a lot of questions before i decided to get the vaccine. i have to make that in consultation with my doctor. but, it seems like a lot of politicians that aren't doctors are telling people what to do. and they haven't answered the questions that the people are legitimately asking. >> well, i think a lot of it, lawrence, too. is from people that you know, politicians that are trying to give people advice in the pandemic or even some doctors that are giving advice that quite honestly has been wrong because they are politically motivated. we have certainly seen our share of pandemic politics in georgia when i reopened the economy. people accused me of, you know, creating a live death experience. they have disagreed with many of the things we have done when southern governors and others around the country removed restriction, just a few weeks ago when president biden called us neanderthals.

but we have been following the data and we are following the science. but we also know where our people are. and, you know, if the people don't buy into what the government is selling, they are going to revolt. and i think the problem with the biden administration is they think everybody around the country is like their acting in new york and d.c. and other places. and that's just not the case. you know, states are different. you should trust the local leaders to make these decisions, and that's what we have been doing in conjunction with our public health officials. you know, georgians know what to do now. they know how to protect themselves. they know the vaccine is available. they know they can get it. they need to get educated and make the best decision for them and their families and certainly for their children. you know, we don't need the government mandating what someone's child can do. >> lawrence: speaking of children, governor, you just signed some legislation saying the kids won't be wearing masks in georgia. what makes you make that decision? >> you know, really just, again,

following the data and science. actually, it will be another executive order, we're continuing to pull back all of our restrictions now. we have very few. one of those things as we go into the summer and look for schools to be back in the classroom in the fall, we're not going to have a mask mandate for our kids. our teachers have had the ability to get vaccinated. certainly doesn't keep anyone from wearing a of course that. if parents want their kids to wear a mask. or in the teacher wear a mask if they haven't been vaccinated or even if they have. they can certainly do that i think the time for mandates is over. our numbers have plummeted. hospitalizations percent positive cases, we have got to continue to reopen the economy, including international travel. and it's unfortunate there are some that continue to scare people and not want to do it. when we know how to defeat this virus now. >> lawrence: at the end of the day, governor, it comes down to choice. adults get to make the choices. if they want to take the vaccine

it is available to them. if they decide not to, the states should not punish them. so i thank you for your leadership on this issue, governor. >> thanks, lawrence, it is america, home of the freedom reigns. >> will covid may have come from a land. tweaking policy it will no longer take down posts claiming covid-19 was man made. here on that radio host jason rantz joins me now. what is your reaction to that breaking news? facebook saying, you know, maybe we did get it wrong. maybe they didn't say it. but they got it wrong. and they are not going to censor americans now on their platform. >> this shouldn't be breaking news because they should not have done this to begin with. they should have never censored folks from basically putting out a legitimate story that we have known about for a while. we don't know where it came from. but we certainly have reason to

believe that it came from this lab and we should be encouraging more of an investigation to move forward and for facebook to come out there and say oh, yeah, well, we don't trust it. we don't really want to give any benefit of the doubt to the trump administration or the republicans who are pushing this for the last year. that really tells you that they are not about news. they are not about objectivity. they are about specifically going after their political targets and right now that remains the republican party. >> lawrence: isn't that what they got wrong to begin with is that because the democrats were saying okay, this is bad, this is trump focus the maga crowd having questions that they decided to start censoring things. when they really didn't know themselves, right? >> 100 percent. what i don't think they realize is that they are doing more harm to the cause than not. because, obviously, they are still censoring and they are burying stories that have to do with the vaccine. and good faith questions or concerns that are being raised by folk who, yeah, maybe they

are a little bit hesitant but they're hesitant to get the vaccine because their questions aren't being answered. instead of answering questions saying you can't ask them. if you ask them, you are an anti-vaxer. well, no, we want to create people to be pro-vaccine if it works for them in consultation with their doctors. and the only way you can get people to trust the information is by giving them the information. you tell me that i don't have the right to ask questions? well then i'm going to become suspicious of what you are hiding. and that just is counter productive. >> lawrence: yeah. jason, before i let you go, you have been doing some reporting on some kids that have been affected, they say, by the vaccine. what do you know about that? >> yeah, so yesterday i spoke with an 18-year-old, he is local from ken moore, washington. and after he got the second vaccination shot he got the pfizer, he, within a couple days started to experience some severe side effects that weren't the normal side effects. he was experiencing chest pain, he could barely move his neck.

he was saying he had a fever that he didn't think he was going to hit. he finally went into the er to find out he had myocarditis, which is a heart inflammation condition. the cdc is doing an investigation into some reports that they are getting of a rare side effects that happens within four days for teenagers, young adults, mostly male. and it happens within four days. so it really connected with him and his timeline. now, the second he started talk about it, people started to attack him and me for being anti-vaccination. no, we are getting this information out there to protect people. >> lawrence: yeah. jason, i have got to tell the audience. because we don't know if this has impacted him in a way if it was a vaccine. what's important is that we ask those questions. and our government should want this type of transparency if we want to dispel some of the myths and get folks to take the vaccine, then we have to be transparent about this process. so we will continue to watch the report. thank you so much for coming on

>> lawrence: as you can already see crime in america is on the rise and americans are getting worried. we have brand new poll numbers from fox news. 70% people feel there is more crime in the country now compared to 2020. with 54% saying crime has gone up in their own local area. it's getting so bad even some liberals are concerned that maybe they shouldn't have been so quick to defund the police. joining me now the great dan bongino. host of the dan bongino show

streaming weekdays on fox nation 12:00 to 3:00. dan, i have been got to be honest with you. yes, it is true that they want to defund the defunded the police, crime was already going up in these liberal cities before that when they defunded the police. they only exasperated the problem, right? >> yeah. i think the big question here, you are not wrong. certain crimes were going up. shootings and homicides were going up. but once we had -- we saw lockdowns. what happened after the lockdowns is you saw street robberies and other things go down because there was was nobody on the street. which makes the increase in shooting and homicides even more unbelievable when you think about it. right? but the real question here is why? why -- what's behind this? why do liberals live in an alternate reality? it's a serious question. i know liberal oh my gosh why are you always yelling at us all the time? because you live in a planet no one else lives on.

you live on a planet where taking money away from the police, firing police officers, attacking police officers, and making them the object of your scorn somehow leads to better public safety. i just want you to know no sane person lives in that world. but you do. and the question, lawrence is why? why do they believe that? and the answer is our media. our media has polluted the american media space for too long. they told people police are randomly hunting down black men and asat sinating them midday. police are public enemy number one we better damn get rid of them. now what is happening? people are dying. >> lawrence: listen from this from carmen best a former police chief back in seattle, take a listen to. this i would read stories about the peaceful protest. part of it was peaceful. but i was standing like 20 feet

away from a hell a lot. and i was looking -- hail down feet behind me i was behind a telephone pole. once rocks and bottles, i have a responsibility as a chief to make sure people are protected. you can't go out there when rocks are being thrown. >> dan, this is what you were talking about when it concerns the media. the question i have is carmen best advocate. she worked with the community. she really wanted to help bring people together. and even someone like her was lambasted. they essentially cut her salary. >> that's why she is the former police chief she told the truth. there is a common thread with all of the stories, again, it's the media. how is it that seattle had an insurrection in the middle -- a

literal insurrection people said no. this is our territory. gave the double-barreled middle finger to the city of seattle we are going to take this over. people were throwing rocks. people were being assaulted. crimes were happening in this independent insurrection area. they just randomly declared and no one in america really thought it was a big deal. why? because the media told you it wasn't a big deal because it's a liberal city. lawrence, i assure you if that was the middle of stuart, florida, where i live which is a relatively conservative area and it was a bunch of maga sign wearing people who took over a portion of stuart, it would have been on the front page of the "new york times." but the media is destroying the country and they are doing it deliberately. >> lawrence: dan, i need you to level with me. i met you when i was a young libertarian back at freedom works. you have always been supportive of me. we have had passionate. >> you are the man. >> lawrence: thanks, brother, i appreciate it what do you think it's going to take? you have been a cop.

have you had respect from people in the community. i thought you were a brother when i first met you. how do we bring the folks together? >> yeah. well, listen, we did it. i mean, i lived through it with the broken windows policing era with rudy giuliani in new york city. you know, we established -- they had a civilian complaint review board. listen, police need oversight like everyone else. no good cop is going to say otherwise. but, also, you have to enforce the law. lawrence, i worked in the 7-5 precinct. most dangerous precinct in the city. it was largely minority precinct. overwhelmingly minority. people used to come tout me all the time. and say hey, this guy on the corner, is he slinging dope or whatever. please don't tell him i said anything. please, please, i need you to do. he would beg and i would feel so bad because i would say to myself. you know, this place is ravaged with crime and 90% of this precinct is full of good people having their lives torn apart by animals in the middle of the street. and they want this cleaned up.

so how do you do it? you have to have good good police oversight. obviously no good cop will tell you otherwise. you have to have effective policing where they enforce the law. if you don't have that you have chaos. thin crust on a volcano. do you know what that thin crust is made of. police officers and our military. they are throughout enforcing the law and international order. that's it. what do you want? lord of the flies? you want piggy get thrown one a pig on the stick? that's what you will have. that's what you will have if you keep attacking the police. and that's exactly what liberals and their media allies wanted and that's exactly what they're getting right now. with a, what, 800 percent increase in crime in homicides in portland? 144% increase in l.a.? lawrence, these are real people dying. this isn't a joke. it's not a talking point. it's not a fox news kyron talking point. these are real body bags. in the real world. because really stupid people are making really dumb decisions. one more thing, minneapolis,

after the george floyd incident, 19 children since then. children shot, kids, kids, because the cops are being attacked over there instead of handling the real problem that incident of police misconduct. >> lawrence: the great dan bongino, folks. thank you, brother. i will be watching your new show. >> thank you. >> lawrence: only he could take over for rush. thanks, brother. >> thanks, man. >> lawrence: how they saw, local school district forcing critical race theory on their children. hear from the mother of three straight ahead. >> not these soviet communists and critical race theory thirsts share common marxist roots. they all create a supposed group of victimizers and victims pitting one against the other based on lies. ♪ ♪

rawrns lawrence welcome back, one by one states across the nation are banning critical race theory in the classroom with texas next in line to do. so the superintendent in school boards fighting back teaching students critical race theory this isn't sitting well with a mother who has three children in the school district. she joins me live. tracy, you saw this was being taught to your kids. why isn't it settling with you. >> well, it doesn't settle with me because first of all critical race theory and social social justicesounds wonderful s racist. treats one group of people based on skin color alone as if they are victimizers and then another skin color as if they are victims just based on their skin color. there's a difference between justice and social justice. justice is getting what you deserve without favoritism.

social justice is getting what you don't deserve because you're politically favored. but they use this orwellian way of twisting and perverting language to make people think it's a wonderful thing. we were wondering why we had such poor academic performance in fort worth. and we took superintendent kent scribner school board president, ramos, school board member, ashley at their word. all you have to do is look on the internet. an investigative journalist could figure out really quickly what their aim really was. >> lawrence: so, did you actually see some of the documents or did your kids come home complaining about some of the stuff that was being taught? what was actually be being taught to them? >> well, first of all, we would love to send our kids to the fort worth public school system but because of things like this, the fact that they don't share our values, we actually pay to send our kids to private school. even though we spend exorbitant amount in taxes to pay for the

fort worth diocese. i saw a zoom call with kent scribner where he laid out clearly his social justice critical race theory hopes and plans. all you have to do is do to ramos' web state see what his plans are. he has an organization called braver. he teaches critical race theory. i watched a call with some of their employees and it was obvious. and you can look at ashley posit's twitter or facebook. they are not hiding what their agenda is. although our local media reported that they said they had no intention of implementing critical race theory. but i have heard direct experiences from students who have been treated badly because they happen to be white. >> lawrence: tracy, although you avoid this school district and you send them to private school, this is still within the culture. so, somewhere down the line your child is probably going to see this. so what do you teach them at

home to counteract this? >> i teach them the truth. i teach them what martin luther king said. you should judge people by the content of their character as dennis prager who i learned so much from always says: skin color is as irrelevant as shoe size. race does not matter. that's what i teach them. >> lawrence: tracy, thank you so much for joining the program. >> thank you, lawrence. >> thank you. >> lawrence: also with me tonight to talk critical race theory is sonny johnson the host of did she say that podcast. sunny, critical race theory is a theory. it's wrong, actually inaccurate. but there is a lot of stories that are missing in our history in the schools today. so, what is the conservative response to critical race theory? >> oh like literally i understand how this conversation kind of makes everyone a little

bit emotional so i literally wrote notes to try to stay on topic. so i would like to start this with a personal experience. when i first started in politics, i the way democrats use black history. they center it around what white people did to us. so, in order to counteract that, i decided to do black history month without white people. and that way i could just look at our principles, our character, what we believed in. and especially focusing on my state, the safety virginia to actually learn some of the history there. during that experience, i learned about like the emancipation hampton university. this is where some of the first slaves who escaped during the civil war came and were taught to read. and then that school became one of the first hvcus that would go on to educate people like booker t. washington on his way to tuskegee.

i learned about jackson ward being richmond virginia's black wall street under the leadership of maggie walker, the first black woman to charter a bank in this country. and as that moment it hit me how much history was being neglected. and how much of my history i felt had been stolen. from me. so i want conservatives and republicans to keep that in mind as i ask you a few questions real quick. what political party had the first race-based factions post antebellum in the united states of america? republicans go from the party of lincoln to the party of reagan. that is 100 year gap. what happens in that 100 years? how many people before last year knew what the tulsa massacre was and how many of them knew there were more than one black wall

street? how many people knew that negro history week was started the second week in february not because it was the shortest month but to memorize the birthdays of abraham lincoln and frederick douglass, two republicans. carter woodson did this on purpose because he did not want black america to just remember our history. he wanted republicans to remember the history that we shared together. we have failed him. we are not sharing that history, that belongs to both of us if we claim that we are colored blind. because, see, the very first factions that were based off color in the united states of america were lily white republicans and black and tan. so if you want to look at the start of identity politics you are again looking at republicans. and because of this, you get

this 100 year gap where they don't want to talk about exactly what they were doing in that time period as far as kicking blacks out of the party. so they could run around and say oh, black people left because they wanted free stuff out of the new deal. no, you kicked us out. why are we not talking about that history? and then they cloak it all buying into this lost cause version of history that completely erases black history in its totality. that is why you can have a black girl who was born in richmond, virginia, that was accepted to the governor's schools maggie walker governor school and have no idea who she is. because of that eerasure is critical race theory. nothing that i am saying here is identity politics or race-based. this is american history. this is the truth so now you

have an option what are you going to do? are you going to just stand in opposition to what the democrats have done or are you going to reclaim what is taken from you and that is your history. american history learn it all. >> lawrence: if you want the response, the conservative response, you have got to tell the full sorry. sonnie johnson. thank you. next we speak exclusively with an idaho sheriff about the border policy after he says his nephew was killed by illegal immigrant just last week. his story straight ahead. ♪ ♪

>> lawrence: the defense rested the case of the murder of mollie tibbetts but not before the defendants take the stand his testimony adding a bizarre twist in the case of the murder university of iowa student. fox news correspondent matt finn is live in iowa with the latest on that. matt? >> it was quite a moment in court today. some of the jurors sat forward in their seats when the man accused of mollie tibbetts made the bold move of taking the stand in his own defense. 26-year-old illegal immigrant christian a river's shocking testimony contradicts what he previously told police regarding how 20-year-old mollie tibbetts was brutally stabbed to death. rivera claims on the night tibbetts went missing he took a shower at his house, two masked men came through the front cure then instructed him into his car to drive them to mollie tibbetts' town where they circled her on her jog. rivera claims on that ride one of the masked men called the other jack which is the last

name of mollie tibbetts boyfriend. rivera says he doesn't know how the two alleged men killed tibbetts but afterwards he instructed them to drive to a cornfield and the two men left on foot. rivera claims he dumped tibbetts' body then later realized his cell phone and keys in mollie tibbetts fit bit were in his trunk. he dumped her cell phone and fit bit on the side of the road and claims he kept it all a secret because he claims those masked men threatened to harm his daughter and her mother, his ex-girlfriend. >> do you remember being asked in the interview by ms. ramiro if you were covering for anyone? >> yes. >> and you told her that you were not; is that correct? >> correct. at that moment i was really scared. >> i understand that you may have been scared, but you chose not to tell him, correct? >> correct. >> rivera is charged with first

degree murder. he has pleaded not guilty. this case is expected to go to the jury tomorrow. we could be on verdict watch at some point tomorrow, lawrence. >> lawrence: thank you, matt. it's got to be really demented to confess to a murder and make up this nonsense in a court of law. another tragic incident another family dealing with the loss of a relative in this time idaho 22-year-old conner holcomb was killed when his pickup truck was hit by a semi-truck last week. police say the driver of the semi-truck was drunk and ran a red light. the sheriff reported that according to ice the suspect is in our country illegally and is out of status for not following the rules of the visa he was here on. ice is now have a federal hold on that suspect. joining me now sheriff karen donahue of kaedyn county, idaho. his nephew was the victim of that crash. and he has some new information

on that suspect. sheriff, thank you so much for joining the program. condolences to you and your family. what do you know about the suspect? >> well, thank you, lawrence, for having me, first of all, and this suspect was here illegally. he came into the country several years ago and information come from ice over the last several days and we encouraged them to help put that hold on him in which they did. what we didn't want to see is him somehow bail out of the jail that he is in and disappear into mexico and not be held accountable. he has been here for several years. did he come in on a visa. he did not follow any of the rules or parameters of the h 2 visa and has literally been out of compliance and, thus, he is a person of interest and obviously an illegal alien by status. and so now that hold has been put on him and quite frankly i'm very happy about that. so that if something were to happen with the bail system, he

is not just free to leave and escape to mexico. he is here to face what he needs to face which is accountability for what he has done. >> lawrence: sheriff, can you tell me a little bit about your nephew? >> i can. he is a very vibrant young man. 22 years old. this is a young man that was completely devoted to family, he grew up in the cattle ranching industry. the cattle buying industry. he loved to hunt and fish. he was a ski instructor for children. he loved being up there showing those children a pastime that was very, very favorable to him and very important to him. he worked in construction. he could run heavy equipment. he even had his own -- started his own cattle operations through his stepfather and his mother and their ranch. this is a kid that was going places. he cared about people. he cared about his two siblings. they were younger than him, but he adored them. and it's more than anything he adored his mother. and his grandma and grand parks my sister. and i will tell you, this kid

was -- he had it together. and he had his struggles just like any other man in our society today. and so that no excuses there but the fact is he had a good job. he had a career job. and he was literally going back to work when illegal alien driving a semi tractor-trailer drunk way beyond maybe three times the legal limit took his life needlessly and when he hit a very large pickup truck this young man was driving and there is just simply no excuse for it. >> lawrence: look at a story like this and all you can say is not fair. it's just not fair. >> it's not. >> lawrence: sheriff, i need to ask you, a lot of people may know this the majority of people that are here illegally from this country are from overstayed visas. who do you blame for that issue? >> quite frankly right now we can blame one administration. that's the biden administration. you know, i have been in this fight for many, many years. i have been to the border.

i have filmed on the border. i have brought that story out with my colleagues from the border. the ranchers, the victimization that has occurred year after year. and quite frankly we were making some progress in the last administration with president trump. we were invited to the table. and we had a seat. and we had hard discussions and we were making progress to stop this victimization bull from the other side of the border with the cartels who literally victimize these people and exploit them and then the victimization when they come across. and today we have an administration that simply will not even talk to us. will not come to that border. you have the vice president of the united states of america who is the czar of the border who is refusing to come and visit with the sheriffs of the border. the border sheriffs, the national sheriff association. she won't even come there. then how is it that she can tell us what is happening or what is not happening? i can tell you what's happening. i met with the chief of border patrol just last week and he gave me the numbers.

800,000 apprehensions so far this year through april. almost 200 in the month of april alone. that's more than any president has seen in the last century, in this century, rather, in the last 20 years. so when people say well how do we solve this? well we hand it back to the administration that's allowing it to continue. >> lawrence: yeah. sheriff, you hear the frustration in your voice and i know this audience is frustrated as well. thank you so much for coming on the program. >> i thank you and, lawrence, i would like to say i hope that we can do something because i don't want to see my family, my sister, my niece go through the torment and the horror that they have gone through over the last seven days. i will tell you, it's not fair and it's not right for american families to go through this torture. thank you for having us. >> lawrence: it's not right and you are in our prayers. more "fox news primetime" after the break. ♪ shingles doesn't care. i keep my social distance. shingles doesn't care.
