get a quote today. >> harris: caught on camera! people facing off over woke activism in schools. a virginia school board meeting turned fiery. police brought in as parents were pushing back against what they call a growing left wing indoctrination in our public schools. you're watching "outnumbered." here emily compagno with kayleigh mcenany and morgan ortegas. and in the center, joe concha for the hill and fox news

contributor. let's get to the news. and explosive loudon county, virginia school board meeting over proposals requiring school staff to use pronouns and names. two parents were arrested for refusing to leave after fierce public comments. watch. >> instead of focusing on the hate that is falling off of the people in this room and from the kids in our schools, i wanted to take the time -- wait. i can wait. >> i noticed a pattern. you treat your bosses like children, your woke mob like the boss and you treat children that have not harmed you like pawns in your leftist social experiment. you're not the captain. we're your bosses and god willing we'll return most of you to the private sector very soon. >> you're teaching children to hate others because of their skin color.

you're forcing them to lie about other kids gender. i am disgusted by your bigotry. [applause] >> madam chair, i move to end public comment. there's been a motion to end public comment. is there a second? thank you. the motion carries 9-0. public comment is ended. we'll move to the next agenda item. [crowd jeering]. [crowd chanting].

>> based on what transactions -- >> what did i do wrong? >> put your hands behind your back. >> harris: joe concha, the thing that really stand out there is when they shut that mic off, shut the people down, freedom of speech. what is your thought on how that plays a role in this? >> apparently it wasn't the right speech, right, harris? the loudon county school board is the wokest and worst school board in america by parents there and for good reason. some think this is a deep red county? think again. joe biden got 60% of the vote in 2020 in loudon county. it's also a very active county. they're very involved. 80% of registered voters there voted in the 2020 election. that's well-above the average. i'm a parent. the number 1 topic at barbecues and soccer games and softball games this summer is what is going on in schools in terms of

what we're teaching our kids and where the focus lies. because while we focus on race and privilege and sexual orientation and transgender, we're taking our eyes off the very things that prepare our children for adulthood. the u.s., all the money we spent and we allocate to the department of education, all the advanced resources, we're 30th in math, harris. you want to know why u.s. companies turn to asia and india when they want young adult workers? you have your answer. we're taking our eye off the ball. those countries, those regions are preparing their kids for adulthood and we're focused on the other things and parents are fed up. >> harris: morgan, kayleigh, two new moms. i say that because you are know cussed probably for the first time in your lives on what would i do. morgan? >> i think it all comes down to a matter of choice for the parents. here's what i mean by that.

you know, school boards and teachers need to understand that they don't raise children. parents raise children. i think about florida where kayleigh and i are both from. we've had school choice in florida over 20 years. as i was watching a -- jeb bush was talking about this earlier today. he's the governor that brought in school choice. as i was watching that loudon county exchange, this is what i thought. i see a lot of frustrated parents that want to raise their children and may not have a choice about where they send their kids to school. we saw it during the pandemic, the frustration that we see from parents is that they haven't been able to send their kids to school and then when they can send them to public school, they may be teaching them something that is just in their mind an indoctrination. also going back to florida. governor ron desantis says that he will require high school students, putting a bill forward, to be taught about the evils of communism.

so over and over again, in our home state of florida, the governors are getting it right. >> harris: i'm curious how we got here. did we just quietly slide in to this or did you -- with the former administration, was this a talk or was this a subject? did you see us headed in this direction? >> kayleigh: no a good question. we didn't see it going in this direction. this movement is embolden because now you have a democratic administration. they feel a tail wind behind them. it's a slow phase happening in our schools and we have to broaden this out what is going on outside of loudon county here in new york city where parents are paying $55,000 to send their kids to the dalton schools. 6-year-olds were shown a cartoon about self-pleasure in their anatomy, 6 years old. this happened in connecticut as well. in loudon county, a christian student was forced to sit in a broom closet because he didn't want to partake or be taught about transgender policy. that should be at home, not for

a teacher, this is a scary place in society where kids are being taught a set of values and principles by teachers when all they need is a education. i'm done with private school, public school. ald my old girl's catholic high school, you wouldn't have been lectured or morality like this. >> it's interesting. the supreme court decision that came out had to do with free speech by students. the supreme court said public schools are the nurseries of democracies here. that is what flew in my head as you were speaking that. that's right. she set the landscape well for what this board meeting is. to flush it out further. 259 parents and members of the community signed up to speak at the board meeting. 51 were allowed to speak. >> harris: they shut their mic down. >> emily: that's my point. no wonder parents are furious. they're not being counted and the decisions made about what to teach the kids and the decisions on how to affect the children and their voices are not being heard. in the board meeting, parents bought up the issues.

it wasn't just about the critical race theory. they brought up the fact that the child was held in a closet about while being taught transgender policies. they brought up the judge's ruling about reinstating tanner cross who spoke up against issues that went against his faith. he said we want you to stop your appeal. stop wasting our taxpayer dollars that our children are members of this district and in doing so, they brought up the fact that there's many of those school board officials that are being recalled right now. the parents said resign. we want our tax dollars to stop paying your salary and paying for this recall effort. there was more. a host whole of issues going on there in that toxic school board. the parents are on and i feel for them especially those that have a rest records. >> harris: we just got this in from mike emanuel. he was at that meeting. he joins us on "faulkner focus" last hour. he wants to know, the sheriff's department said it was the loudon county school superintendent that declared the meeting an unlawful assembly.

that is an interesting detail. we needed to know that. directed its attendees to leave, that the school superintendent and the board. advised those that stayed would be changed with trespassing. the sheriff's office said it was the superintendent calling the shots, not law enforcement when it came to shutting it down. >> emily: progressive left members of the community doxed conservative members and published where they lived and their names. that's what they said shame on you as a superintendent as he shut it down. they're trying to silence the conservative voices. >> harris: it's interesting. it gets penned on the cops. they do the arresting. the question by local media in virginia and maybe it will attract network like our mike emanuel is there. the questions have to be asked of the school board now. do you want parents to get involved or don't you? if you're going to grade their answers, what happens when

you're wrong? are you willing to take responsibility for your right or wrong decisions? >> sure. the parents can speak. they're forced to be bring watched with a certain set of morality. now the parents can't even voice their complaints because interestingly enough, it was a superintendent that said time to wrap this up after six speakers voiced support. >> harris: out of 250 on the bill, we heard from 50. it's hard to shout with no microphones. i've done it a few times. morgan, joe, see you coming up. a little boy days away from his very first birthday now an orphan along with his 3-year-old is after after their parents were dragged out of their car and murdered. the developments in this horrific attack that is gaining national attention. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans because i know there's so many of you who have served our country honorably. whether it's 2 years, 4 years, or 32 years like myself. one of the benefits that we as a country give our veterans

>> a family torn apart by gun violence in chicago is now gaining national attention. two little children are now left to grow up without parents after they were killed, excuse style, in a deadly attack. friends of the young couple say they first met at a party years ago and it was love at first sight. the parents, inseparable ever since bidding a life together and a family. that all changed this past weekend. police say they were involved in a minor car crash during puerto rican day festivities and ambushed. surveillance video showing a crowd surrounding their car, pulling the young woman out of the driver's seat. several people beating her and then shooting her. her boyfriend tried to save her life by using his body as a shield, but police say he was

instead shot in the head execution-style. giovanni was a devoted father, brother and partner. friends say that yasmin was a dedicated mother and partner as well that loved to dance. he died that night. she died just yesterday. now the children, sophia and jaden have no mother and no father. jaden will celebrate his first birthday this friday without them because one night these suspects dragged them out of their car and gunned them down in cold blood a crowd stood by and watched. joe concha? >> joe: i can't imagine you being chosen as the person that has to tell those young children and the 1-year-old, thankfully if there's a better word

probably won't remember his mommy and daddy. sophia is old enough to know that their mommy and daddy are not coming home again. imagine that conversation. a brazen disregard for human life in this country. we had some, certainly not all, but some in the national media that justified looting, rioting, calling them mostly peaceful protests and justifying this unlawful violent behavior. look at the numbers across the board. they're staggering. i wrote about this today for "the hill." new york despite having the largest police force in the country, the murder rate is up 48% compared to prepandemic 2019. if you want to know why eric adams will likely be the next mayor of new york, that's why. law and order. atlanta, murders are up 58% compared to 2020 at this time. then you have the city's mayor, keisha lance bottoms blaming brian kemp saying we reopened earlier so more people in the streets. portland, murders are up not 8,

80% but 800% over last year. seattle, the one-time home of chop, the summer of love, the highest homicide rate. so when republicans take back the house, probably a landslide given the numbers we've seen in the past in the first term of any president, obama lost 63 seats, trump lost 43, the gop needs to five to retire nancy pelosi. crime, illegal immigration and inflation will be the three biggest drivers. particularly crime, this is affecting everybody now and people are fed up. the national media needs to cover it more, not just fox news. >> emily: and these two are the face of this rising crime statistic that joe just laid out. this horrifying stories, these savage murders. we're looking at once were two

beautiful faces that are now the face of this spike in crime. >> kayleigh: emily, it's very hard to respond. i was getting choked up listening to your intro and looking at the images. seeing the two little kids. you know, similar to joe, i came here prepared with a lot of statistics and looking at the murder rate around the country being up over 49% than it was in 2019. joe just went through the various city rates, the murder rates, carjackings, crime is up around the country. you know, i'm used to covering things around the world. i'm used to seeing tragedies in afghanistan or in iraq or africa, many places that i've traveled to and worked in throughout my career. i'm not used to sees these images at home. what is disturbing is to see these parents that were killed in cold blood and to see being repeated in cities like portland where the police officers are

resigning in mass. it's troubling the images that i'm used to seeing around the world from working in international affairs are happening here in the united states. the statistics that joe just rattled off are disturbing and are alarming, but these i'm my knowledges emily that you showed at the beginning of this broadcast should resonate with all americans, parents, nonparents, whomever you are. something has to be done. i think there will be a political price to pay at the ballot. what is more important to me is that this stops happening and people average everyday americans use their voice to say no more. >> emily: nobody will get used to seeing that. nothing could prepare us. >> harris: it's like a war zone. like a war zone. raised military. we talked about this when my dad would return as a combat pilot. we talked in the later years.

he told me what it was like in the 60s with civil rights and all of that. this is not something is that we're going to reach a point and something is gained by what we're going through. you know? we're not fighting for rights here. we're not -- that's not what is happening in our country. yet somehow feels like a civil war. on one side are the citizens and the other side the criminals. apparently we don't see them the same way because we have judges that want and prosecutors that want to do things differently when they look at those cases than those of us that would be victims, citizens. i don't want recidivism. i like reform if it makes us safe. but putting the same criminals back out, back out, back out over and over again. look what is happening in new york. most of these people are repeat offenders. they're not first crime offenders. that means mistakes are being made in other places, not just at their hands. they're almost being enabled like a drug addict to come out and hurt us. when you look at those beautiful

parents, we don't see the faces of the children that will grow up without them. today is one day. a lifetime without your parents? we can't even imagine. >> kayleigh: sophia and jaden are the two wonderful children. the family is asking for coverage of the funeral cost and medical bills. but they need support of america to come around them. what is so sad and tragic, this is one family, one example. this is happening every day. children slaughtered in the streets. parents slaughtered in the streets. to me, i think it's so shameful that we're nearly seven months in to president joe biden's presidency and only today we're almost at july, are we getting an address on crime. this is a number 1 issue and it's time for all of us to come together regardless of party, to put the spotlight on this and fix it. i'm fed up.

>> harris: americans are telling democrats, this is what is important. >> emily: that's right. giovanni and jasmine, may god bless you. coming up, migrant children at the border are depressed and living in alarming conditions according to a now-filed lawsuit. they detail what it's like in biden border camps coming up next.

alarming that some are being monitored for self-harm, panic attacks and escape attempts. in a new lawsuit, many claim that they have been held in these overcrowded tent facilities for more than 60 days. they describe the deplorable living conditions and testimonies filed monday. a 13-year-old girl says this. i have been given chicken that was bloody and raw. one had feathers. a 17-year-old girl said this. i feel asphyxiated. there's nobody here i talk to i talk to god. it helps me and i cry. it would help if i could just have a bible. >> harris: wow. >> emily: joe, bloody chicken, raw with feathers? one girl wants a bible? these are the conditions in the biden era emergency facilities? >> joe: horrific conditions. where is alexandria ocasio-cortez for a photo op

this time around? that's why that outrage was so phony a couple years ago. now we're talking babies. a full trimester since she was given, the job, kamala harris, to fix this situation at the border. so it's about time she's going. we know this is happening now. optics mean a lot in this business. president trump is set to go to the border next week. so team biden wasn't about to allow itself to be embarrassed any further. if trump is at the border, you can be sure the media would have followed them. the questions would have been asked, why is a former president here than the current president and kamala harris. look at harris' poll. 36%, a third of the country agree with the biden administration's current policies that is a 1/3. i'd love to talk about have a stiff drink with that 30%.

what do you think is going well down there exactly? >> kayleigh: right. there's a suicide watch list at one of these children facilities 28 children on the list. they're having to keep pencils away from the kids. the metal part of an n-95 respirator. their bodies start to twist. a contractor working at fort bless said they can't take it anymore. these kids coming over at the hands of coyotes. >> morgan: i hope the vice president meets these children and sees what is happening. i hope she talks with the workers dealing with the suicidal children. kayleigh, bad news. it's only going to get worse. here's why. title 42, which is a cdc regulation states right now that the authorities have the ability to turn away people at the

border due to covid. the biden administration reportedly plans to get rid of title for 2, to get rid of the cdc regulation. what does that mean? most of the people coming over the border, they most likely don't have a vaccine. they're then put into a situation in these cages where they are, of course, not socially distanced. it's crowded. you have unvaccinated people in an area where there's covid, where they're not social distanced. likely giving it to each other. by the way, the biden administration is now going to take the opportunity to rescind title 42 and not turn away people based on covid, when we have all of these variants that many countries are worried about like israel that is talking about securing their borders again. >> kayleigh: now the vice president going to the border. she used to call it human rights

abuse. do you think -- >> harris: i don't know how she's going to own this. it's hers. it's biden's. because it took 91 plus days. remember, it's not happened yesterday. so it's 91 plus days. i wonder if former president trump had not threatened to go first if we would even be seeing this. i mean, i've been following her first 100 days and seeing what that looks like. morgan said something that made me take a note. why are we not vaccinated this people at the border? why isn't that happening? i don't know if we have the ability to test everyone five to seven days. it's catch and release. relet them go. if you wipe away the mechanism, title 42, the ruling that allows us to, you know, sway the numbers, coming in and out, why don't you just vaccinate

everybody? >> morgan: and we don't have to worry about it because our vaccinations work. for all we know, some may be coming here for that. we don't know. a lot are coming for asylum-like issues but they're not asylum. that's my next question. you don't get to come in because you didn't have the economics. that's never been listed. that was president trump's idea of keep them in mexico and let us go through the paperwork. are they going to do away with it now? >> kayleigh: seems like it. emily, these are emergency intake facilities. that's important to point out. it's different. >> emily: it is. the extended infinite wisdom of the biden administration, that have foregone the requirements for volunteers and staff to undergo background criminal checks. so we have no idea who is volunteering and working there, not to disparage them. multiple states district attorneys have voiced objections around concerns. they're not required to have the same state licensure that they can care for minors. they don't have to provide the

same services. >> harris: or food apparently. >> emily: so we're putting them in deplorable conditions. they're not regulated. it's more expensive. now we don't know what is going on behind closed doors. to this day, journalists have not been allowed in. >> emily: this comes on the heels of a houston facility because 13, 17 girls were using the rest room in bags. imagine what we would see if we got access. new signs of a double standard. liberal view host jay behar making a crude joke about the first openly gay nfl player. she said ignore it. we're not. >> meantime, that joke, scratch it. make believe i never said it. s who need cash. interest rates are near record lows, and home values are at record highs.

appears to keep getting a free pass on comments that would get others in hot water. "the view" co-host joy behar made an inappropriate joke about carl nassib as he came out earlier this week. here she goes. >> and after they said penetration in the end zone, they lost me. is this a sign -- >> whoa! >> harris: i'm not supposed to be frozen now. wow! later in the program, behar asked viewers to ignore the joke. >> i just wonder if you can be gay in the world and it's not a big deal. by the way, that inappropriate joke i made for daytime television, scratch it. make believe i never said it. >> harris: wow. i do sit frozen and just shock in this. joe concha, only a witch with a wand could think she could just

wave this away. >> joe: wood. well-done. yeah. people like joy behar are the reason it took so long for people like carl nassib to come out. it was clearly rehearsed by behar who represents the worst of political discourse in this country. the other panelists on the set laughed along with her. megan mccain is the only one that didn't. behar will get a pass because of who she supports, the blue team and she's morally superior in terms of her positions. that gives her that pass. if you want to have wednesday fun, guys, close your eyes and picture anybody on this show making this same comment. there would be calls for you to be cancelled at the speed of sound, i believe. >> harris: definitely. morgan? >> morgan: well, you know, the football player actually is a much bigger secret than the fact

that he's guy. he's a registered republican according to twitter. we'll see how he's tweeted. what is most disturbing to me is the fact that joe behar is older than my grandma and i like the thought of my grandma telling sex jokes just keeps me out. no kayleigh? >> kayleigh: yeah, she has a history of saying things like this. do you remember when she disparaged vice president pence and said christians are mentally ill? it took her a month but she apologized. then she went after tiger woods girlfriend. she called her a hooker. she said i apologize. where is the i apologize here? did i miss it? i missed it. >> harris: you don't think that was an apology. it was sort of an apology. no. >> kayleigh: no. she's apologized before. had it here on paper. i apologize. i didn't hear the two words.

>> harris: think about it if you're this football player, carl nassib. suddenly this is blown up bigger than what he wanted to do. he wanted young kids to understand that in high positions and you've been blessed -- i'm paraphrasing. you can watch his videos. he's trying to draw light to what the kid would need and that is support, a role model, somebody that would continue that success as publicly with their sexuality out in tow. yet, she does this. this is what people will remember his name for for the short term. he will show us on the football field. >> emily: in that vain, he donated $100,000 to the trevor project, the largest organization to suicide prevention and crisis prevention for lgbt youth. that's where joy behar should donate. if she's a progressive,

inclusive woman. all we see her is being a witch. so joy behar, donate to the trevor project. that was a disgusting comment. to do that to somebody coming out and he's characterizing that light, for him to be reduced to a sex joke at the whim only solve geriatric tv host, no thank you. >> harris: when you talk about a wider media, why does joy behar get a pass? by the end of the day we'll see it all over the place. look, i understand it's an unscripted talk show. we do one here. but where is that outrage? based on what emily said, she's not acting like one of her fellow democrats on the issue. >> joe: that's right. probably we're one of the few shows on television actually even discussing this topic for whatever reason. i'm sure -- i can't be completely positive on this, but

is cnn or msnbc doing any segments on this? you think they would but they won't because since joy behar is on their team, they can't criticize them. that's not the way it works. >> harris: joy behar, i won't forget what you said. you owe that young man an apology. get with it. ahead a mayor of a small town in colorado is banning the pledge of allegiance from board of trustees meetings. now some of them are speaking out. find out what they're saying. ♪♪ oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? so you only pay for what you need. sorry? limu, you're an animal!

>> we're waiting to see what president biden's plans are to tackle the shocking surge of crime across the nation. is it the right prescription or more of the same political playbook? we have darren and nicole here. another loudon county school board meeting goes off the rails. a number of people arrested.

and inflammation of the heart. should teens get the covid vaccine? we'll have that and more on the origins of covid. i'm john roberts. join gillian turner and me at the top of the hour for "america reports". >> one nation, under got, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> i note that that is out of order. >> emily: you saw folks defying their mayor after he banned the pledge of allegiance. the mayor says the pledge has divided the community and led to threats. joe concha, maybe the mayor should resign and purchase a one-way ticket to china wore he won't have to worry about hearing the pledge. >> joe: that's an excellent idea. what is next from this mayor? going to start giving out fines when we say god bless you when

you sneeze? this is dicey. let's cancel the mission to normandy. we did the story talking about how there's lots of trump flags in long island. a new york writer was getting ptsd because she saw it as a sign of white nationalism. so seeing the american flag, bad. where are we at this point in this country? it's insane. >> this town has 550 people in it. the mayor claimed that it's because of divisiveness that he was getting threats. the reality is, he sacrificed patriotism for also what he she is the pressure of inappropriate comments. so to joe's point, seems where we are is in a hyper state of vulnerability where it's patriotism that we sacrifice first. >> morgan: yeah, between this and loudon county, i wonder what is going on in local politics lately. it's getting crazy.

listen, back to the congresswoman's tweet that you mentioned at the beginning where this mayor should go to china. all joking aside, actually, he should talk to the people of hong kong. when i was a state department spokesperson, the first summer we saw the protests in hong kong because freedom and democracy were being taken away. one day i looked, we saw the people of hong kong holding american flags. to them that's what democracy meant. that's what freedom meant. so for this mayor, i have visuals of hong kong where you're not able to say the pledge and maybe he will think differently. >> emily: that's right. kayleigh? >> kayleigh: yesterday we talked about an alternate in the olympics that didn't want the american flag over her shoulders. she wanted to burn it. the day before that, we take about macy gray calling the flag dated and divisive. president trump used to say, if you don't have borders, you don't have a country.

if you don't have a pledge and anthem, a flag, you don't have a country. we need common principles that transcend politics and unite us. it's so sad all of them are under attack. >> harris: my dad returned from war. i was too young to remember. i was maybe 2. my mom told a story for many years that he said many of us would fall to our knees when we get back to american soil because we would see the flag on american soil and it was just so uplifting. he said this country was going through civil rights, going through that stretch of time in which there was so much struggle. he believed in her potential as a nation and the world believes it, too. that's why they clutch our flag. it will be interesting to see where we're going with politics across our nation in some of these localities. >> emily: where else they feel the same way, the board of trustees meeting where they defied the order of saying the pledge. seems like he's the lone voice

>> i'm going to do a terrific show today, and i'm going to help people because i'm good enough. i'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me. hello, i am stuart smalley. >> former minnesota senator al franken is back after resigning from the u.s. senate. fans of the democrat macy and see that character revived, saying that he is launching a comedy tour this september called "the only farmer u.s. senator currently on tour,"

saying that you will laugh, hopefully unless i am in eighth bad mood. more again, will you find you there? >> morgan: no. i do think that the headline is kind of funny, the names, so who knows? maybe it will be funny. he was one of the first people to get canceled effectively during the #metoo movement. as he pointed out, detailed everything that happened to him, which many people i saying maybe this was a little unfair. i just wonder if it was a republican senator, with that person get a new yorker profile saying how sad it is that he had to resign? probably not. >> kayleigh: i would rather see him on the comedy circuit than in the halls of congress, how about you? >> joe: 1991 was 30 years ago. that freaked me out, seeing that.

this is basically a comedy tour that is a trial for al franken because he wants to see if there is any backlash, and i am betting that it will not happen. jimmy fallon made a great point. he deserves credit for this. he said when al franken looks at andrew cuomo he is accused of sexual harassment, multiple staffers, getting away with it, he is probably saying wait a minute, why did i resign? this is comedy for now, but he may want to run for the senate again in minnesota. >> kayleigh: minnesota or maybe new york city. maybe he is out for blood. we know kirsten gillibrand is the reason he lost his seat. he may run against her. there is speculation that that is what he is doing here in new york, and to just point, sort of testing the waters to run against kirsten gillibrand, which is interesting considering it was that senator that led the charge against him to have them be canceled and ultimately resigned, so that may be what is

called poetic justice. >> harris: i don't believe in that. i do believe in, you know, optimal timing, so if he is considering that, now would be that time because i agree with you. jimmy had a right. i mean, wow. look at what the litmus test is around here. speak up i will take either of them for that matter. thanks to everyone. now here is "america reports." [applause] >> john: kayleigh, thank you. the last meeting of the school year resulting into people arrested and then meeting abruptly ended. parents across the country it's worrying that their voices could be stifled if they raise concerns over indoctrinating their kids with the radical woke agenda. we will take a look at that over the course of the next two hours. >> sandra: plus, what is your take on president biden's new plan to address this violent crime
