>> emily: fox news alert, growing fallout after violence rocked the july 4th weekend and part of the country. many of the nation's largest cities are struggling to contain a surge in crime amid a rash of finger-pointing among those in charge. the numbers are staggering. more than 260 people have been killed in shootings across the country this weekend alone. this is "outnumbered" and i met emily compagno. here today are my cohost kayleigh mcenany, anchor of fox news at night and chief legal correspondent shannon bream, a host of kennedy on

fox business, kennedy, and former education secretary and fox news contributor bill bennett. first in chicago, police say this weekend was the city's deadliest this year. 100 people total were shot and 18 killed. a 6-year-old girl among those wounded in the shootings and in that same location eight hours earlier, a 5-year-old girl was shot. two chicago police officers were also shot and wounded yesterday while trying to disperse a crowd. in houston, one police officer was shot. in milwaukee, two police officers were wounded in a fireworks attack. in las vegas one police officer was shot and another one to do new york city, at least 26 people were shot over the holiday weekend and the numbers of shootings rising more than 42% year to date. brazen looting taking place in san francisco yesterday as thieves target a neiman marcus store and can be seen. mr. secretary, i'd like to start

with you on this. these numbers are frankly staggering. >> yes they are staggering. and let me say, not only the secretary of education but the first drugs are, so i have some familiarity. if you look at national numbers and trends, we are still below where we were in the early 90s. but then it dropped dramatically and now we are seeing at surge and search over the weekend. there's a particular character to these crimes however i would point out, one is they are blatant. you use the word brazen. we are seeing a lot in broad daylight, sing a lot in all the neighborhoods of a big city like new york and even spreading out in chicago. the second thing, and this cannot be discounted is the presence of the police and in some cases the absence of the police because of efforts to defund the police. it's a terrible situation and

we've got to get a hold of it. crime went down, it went way down. and we could do it again. it will require not just refunding of the police, it will require in some cities special incentives in the police. it would seem these incentives, ladies, for people who go back to work at burger places and fast food places, we will need some incentives to keep those men and women on the job and bring new and qualified people in. otherwise these numbers which you just reported will be small as we go into late summer. >> following up on that, do you see that happening? if it so clear on how to combat the surge and how we did it in the mid-90s, there is some fear that those won't be implicit in these trends will continue sharply rising unfettered especially in this administration.

>> the short answer is it depends on whether to people in charge of the city's, city councils and mirrors, largely blue and largely democratic, 95% or so, see and do what needs to be done. you take a case like san francisco or los angeles where the prosecutors don't want to put these criminals behind bars, and you see the reluctance. i think this will be a theme for the show as we get into other issues, but people have to speak. recalls elect other people, people want to step down, you have young officials in cities and many american places. >> emily: people spoke in a poll that just came out that indicated that 48% of americans disapproved of president biden's handling of the rising crime across the country and only 38%

actually approved. >> it's tricky because now we have these conversations about police and there's all kinds of pointing fingers and tape out there, people say yeah, that's actually what we mean. people are either discussing or refunding, we are talking about new york, oakland, baltimore. just last week we had a judge in minneapolis telling local leaders that they have to hire more police officers, how do we do that when we have mass layoffs and these people do not make a fortune and our heroes for the vast majority of them who sued up every day never knowing if they are going to see their families again for 50 or 60 or $70,000. not only that, they are in very delicate and dangerous situations but the same impacts beyond law enforcement.

it will be a big political issue going into 2022 but it's also the economy of many of these places. there are drugstores that are closing down saying we can't afford to be open and target just announce all of its stores in san francisco and most of them are open 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. and are now going from nine until six. if you work a daytime job you aren't going to be able to go to target at night in san francisco and they said their employees do not feel safe coming to work. there are real ripple effects to not enforcing the law or prosecuting or charging people. >> emily: at kennedy as we discussed, the local level and people rising up and holding a city councils accountable, there is tension between that and calling for federal attention being in their hands and a lot of that playing out in congress as people leave those major cities to smaller suburbs and

smaller communities outside of these metropolitan areas where crime is in forest or the laws are enforced, where law enforcement is appreciated, and where people say they have more control over where their tax taxpayers are going. >> emily: you bring up a great point. it's the city council. not necessarily the mirrors, it's a city councils in places like minneapolis and portland that have a real activist agenda and far less accountability, but of course it's a group of people. the accountability is dispersed without them. they come in with these platforms, and they are driven to impose this super progressive agenda which is clearly making the cities less safe. it's growing law enforcement and policing, and what they have to find is instead of an agenda, we have to find a good balance

where people can coexist and it was a point that shannon made last time we were on and i think this is a basic respect for life. and it's part of the critical balance. that seems to be the missing element here and this further radicalization of city council is a greater disconnect. we have to reconnect and it's how we all interact with each other on a day-to-day basis. and that's what will keep us together instead of dividing us apart. >> emily: where is the media on all of this? >> kayleigh: of the media has largely ignored this issue and i hope we see some media scrutiny of the biden administration's role in this and of the left role and ignoring the defund of

the police movement or propelling it, i should say. but we will see. we see this is a two decade high of concern for crime and people cities and so a two decade high of concern, we hope the media's lens, it was a year or two today and rather than getting questions about the death and slaughter in our streets which also have been less fourth of july, i got questions about the flag. i ended the briefing saying, where were the questions about the children dying in the streets? where were the questions about sequoia turners, an 8-year-old girl in atlanta who was slaughtered in the car with her mother. her dad says this, you say black lives matter, you killed a child and she didn't do nothing to nobody. where was the questioning about her life that was propelled for a year? we now know more than 149 kids have been shot in new york

alone. these are the kinds of questions that i hope are raised in the briefing today. i'm not hopeful because i know this is an issue that biden is not doing too well on, only 38% approved but i hope you have a press corps that finally asked some questions on behalf of these kids and other innocent victims. >> emily: i hope so, too. mr. secretary, final thoughts? >> bill: just one thing, talking about comments at the white house. a couple weeks ago, peter doocy asked the press secretary, what's her name, jen psaki. how come no democrats speak out against defunding the police? how come they are all in favor of defunding the police and you can't find a republican? she said actions speak louder than words and there's all this money going out. in response to shannon's question, let's use some of that money, it raises for police. incentives for police to stay on the job, incentives for people to get in.

otherwise we will have a worse weekend in august and september than we had this past one. just a warning. >> emily: indeed. we are awaiting a response from the white house after some democrats bash the july 4th holiday. and we discussed those comments. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, now introducing ensure complete! with 30 grams of protein.

"when they say the fourth of july is about american freedom, remember this. the freedom they are referring to is for white people." congresswoman maxine waters with her own rant tweeting "the declaration of independence as all men are created equal. equal to what? what men? only white men? the media getting in on the act with tweeting "blank independence day. why would black people celebrated day so wrapped up in our enslavement?" while npr took it issue with the declaration of independence calling it "a document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies." all of this with "the new york times" cover page of reading "red white and woke, why do liberals in the media take such a droop joy and tossing america? the haters never take a day off from hating adults clear and they never take a day off of getting the facts wrong.

we know most of our forefathers, all of our main fathering mic founding fathers were against slavery and there is great piece to that called heritage in 1776 and not 1619. but there's so much to to look at, where to begin? >> one statistic that we need to notice this year, 35% of people 18-24 said they were proud or very proud to be an american. that's a record low. 35% proud or very proud of. so we start there. but look, there was a reaction to cori bush, there was a reaction to these other folks saying these disparaging things. the vast majority, 65 or 70% of the american people may be more don't like to hear this. disaggregate the argument, the people who say this our people and various important positions of power in the media.

people at google, people at twitter, people at facebook. so they have, at "the new york times" they have disproportionate influence and this disproportionate influence a showing. we are in a cultural civil war. we are more divided than we have been, i think ever, in this country. yes, we were divided horribly in the civil war, 700,000 dead and i'm not suggesting that's going to happen. but it was over one issue. now, the divisions are over many issues and this cultural civil war is raging and i know a lot of people are looking for unifying symbols and things that will bring us together. the problem is the left keeps disparaging whatever single we talk about to bring us together. the flag, an article in "new york times" says may be the flag, we should bring it up because it's a property of the trump people. they run around with so many flags.

the fourth of july, you just cited the evidence. i'm all for unity, i'm all for bringing things together when we can but the people have to win this cultural struggle or we use them i could lose this constitution of the republic. the stakes are that high. speak one of the stakes are high. shannon, coming to you i want to put up on the screen a tweet from ted cruz who called out cori bush and also brought forward some facts. he tweeted this, speaking of frederick douglass. frederick douglass closed the speech of his that said it, i therefore leave off where i began with hope, while drawing encouragement from the declaration of independence, the great principles it contains and the genius of american institutions. my spirit is also chaired by the obvious tendencies of the aged. he went on to tweet this "douglass rightly and ferociously called out injustice but contrast douglass' hope, optimism, passion for justice and unifying call for america to live up to her grand ideals with

the squad's angry, hateful, consistently anti-american venom. it is a contrast indeed. >> you think about our founding documents and our constitution, this is a flawed country but we are provided all of the tools and the things that we need to fix it. i think about the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment to the constitution abolishing slavery, providing poor citizenship and voting rights. we got a lot of things right in our attempts to make them better. are we perfect? no. do we need to have conversations and talk about how we heal some of these ones? yes we do. there are people out there who benefit from us being divided whether it's political or financial power, but at the truth is i think the heart of america is less divided many media elites want us to think it is. a secretary rightly points out that the biggest voices and most powerful voices out there are the ones that are headline news

and i think a lot of the people in the heart of america feel like they are outnumbered to come up but they are in the minority. the truth is the number show us they are not and i think we do. look at our neighbors and have more in common and think about the days where we can reach out for each other and look out for each other and i think that's a real heart of america. i think we have to stop and look around at our neighborhoods, families, synagogues and churches and say we have more in common than we have not in common so let's focus on that and don't listen to the people who benefit by us being divided. they are not going to give up that power structure and less we and take it back from them. >> emily: and president biden, he says we need uniter's and not dividers and biden was a self-proclaimed great uniter and yet he came up with an idea how to heal us and that's to give us a great divider to win a senate seat, that great divider being maxine waters. and i believe we have the sound bite here. i want to play this for you and get your thoughts on the other end as to if this is us solution to our problem.

>> i'm kidding, i'm not. >> i think the sound was cut from the top, but he said maxine waters should be the next senator. >> i don't necessarily disagree with that. if i were one of her constituents i don't believe that i would vote for her. i do tend to vote for nontraditional candidates. she is a very divisive person and i think shannon is absolutely right about that. back to fred let mike frederick douglass there's a wonderful book by damon rooted called a glorious liberty and it's all about frederick douglass and how he saw the constitution. his part in shaping how we look at the constitution, because there were a lot of people at the time who felt the constitution was a flawed document in the shadow of the civil war. frederick douglass said no, everything we need to make this country even better is right

here and it's also very apparent that we can improve upon what we've already got and that was in light of his horrific formative experiences as a and an autodidact, and someone who is able to take that passion and motivation and make the country better. he makes some really beautiful philosophical arguments and i think those are the kinds of things that we should be ingesting to make this country better and use the tools that we got because that should be the ultimate aim. >> emily: while said it, that's exactly right. we need more frederick douglass' in our society. emily, we await the white house response, do you anticipate they will condemn this response? >> emily: i'm not holding my breath, not at all. but to echo shannon's points, i felt like i lived at this weekend. i celebrated independence day and a 450 person small town in oregon with family and a 10,000

people descended on this town for this awesome fourth of july celebration. the parade to, rodeo, carnival, everything. and we were flying they make an flag everywhere, everyone stood for the anthem, there was unity there. we gave a 10,000 persons standing ovation to a police officer that was retiring and of the comments around the stadium, the comments that drew applause were all for patriotism. they were all for god and country and family and the faces in the audience were diverse. this is not one type of person that was in the stadium, it was absolutely reflective of the diverse fabric of america. and guess what, that little town is less than 30 miles from portland, oregon so i wholeheartedly agree with shannon that the heart of america is one of unity, patriotism and hopefully those voices are who we will hear and amplify and listen to and have that community with our neighbor with instead of this divisive

single minority voices. >> kayleigh: and you showed some video of that officer getting round of applause, absolutely beautiful. that's what this country is about. just ahead, new to the elements and what may be the single biggest moment in the fight over a critical race theory today. america's largest teachers union not only fully backing teaching crt to children but saying it will fight those who opposed the move. and thousands of teachers even vowing to break the law. that's next. ♪ ♪ it's time to refinance. newday's low rate refi offers their lowest rate in history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. save thousands every year and there are no upfront costs. not one dollar. the newday low rate refi. take advantage of these record low rates so you and your family can save.

the national education association which represents 3 million public school employee is defending its decision to back critical race theory describing it as "an in-depth theory that don't like atomic theory that critiques racism, patriarchy, capitalism and other forms of power and oppression. i cannot imagine as the former secretary of education your thoughts as you look at the imposition of critical race theory in public schools. what do you see here? >> i hate to say that i told you so but i told you so. when i became secretary of education i said the teachers unions were the worst force in america except for organized crime and it was a close call. and now they have come out.

20 years after i left the secretary of education, we said, what should we do? i'm concerned about my kids is education. i said run for the school board. people fled really, is that it? yes, it is. take a look at loudoun county, they are making a difference. the other thing is school choice, if they are not doing it the way you want it, as a parent, your school, you are able to leave that school and go to another school. that's obnoxious behavior on the part of the teachers unions. just one caution, i think shannon and emily would agree with this, they are not overbroad and are going to get challenged. nevertheless, this fight is worth it. >> it's interesting because a lot of the people who are pushing independent critical race theory, they are saying this isn't even being taught in

school, i don't know what you're talking about. then they try to shift the definition of what critical race theory is but isn't this clear evidence that this is exactly what they are pushing to be taught across the board in public schools? >> you are right. this has been endorsed on a national level and it is happening everywhere. you don't need to look with your own eyes to see it, one of the troubling resolutions that they've had is gathering information about parents and groups that oppose this. we saw this in loudoun county where a facebook group including some teachers were doxxing parents, gathering information, putting out their addresses and now it's sanctioned by the teachers union. it will backfire, 58% of people who know what critical race theory is due not supported including 72% of independents so this will backfire. >> the secretary makes a good

point, coming out of the pandemic, this is really the last thing that parents need to. so i hope this starts out a much bigger, active conversation about school choice because as long as teachers unions are there as a wedge between children and their parents, and it seems like that is what they are trying to do. so what should parents do here? >> up in new hampshire we just saw that they pass to make sure they are that the governor signed in part of the budgetary plan that the money will follow the students. they can take these vouchers out in the number of situations and take that money to another school that they think of some of better fit for their kid. and another part of the board quit because they were not happy about what got past. they can move that money with their students and they have a lot more voice in the process. >> coming up, president biden appears to fall as he relies on

with with that posture where adversaries are already taking our divisions and using them against us now in the world stage, in front of every country at this event, you will have the united states essentially apologizing and showing that divisiveness on full display, our adversaries will harness this and use it against us. >> kennedy: i would like to take cannabis off the list of controlled substances by the international olympic committee and i would like to see shikari richardson race in the 100 meters. i would gladly swap her out for a gwen berry. because shannon? >> shannon: at one of the things of the most prized in our society are as americans as free speech and so i love that people who are angry with this country could talk about that without fear of going to jail. you could talk about our leaders and every thing else. it's a beautiful thing, it has a catch-22 but means you will get criticized as well for the things that you say. i'm not going to participate in

this, you know, the olympics is a divisive thing. i will embrace it to one of the most exciting and tearful moments that we see, when people cross the finish line and have amazing triumphs and back stories. i also want to say if you are so unhappy with the country you are representing, i think we should grant people full opportunity to go to other countries like iran or someone, somewhere else if you think that will be a better fit for you will come up you should petition the country to join their team. >> mr. secretary, what are your thoughts? >> bill: the first of all, i have to disagree. as you know with kennedy come on cannabis, our kids are dumber, not just because of schools but that drug makes you dumber. >> kennedy: so does alcohol and sugar. >> bill: yes well, alcohol is with us, we can't do anything about that, but we can do something about this. in terms of the olympics, in

terms of russia or guatemala or mexico, they will not turn their back when there anthem is played because it's only the united states that gets derided and abused like this. however, how come this horrible racist country that only favors white people has a border problem? all kinds of countries pouring to get in, how does that make sense? this to me is the ultimate answer. one little thing, the advisors to biden, the exact opposite. he kept putting in his speech, mr. gorbachev, tear down the swamp. his advisors kept taking it out and he kept putting it back in. they kept taking it out and, he made history, and true leadership came from him on his own, not the advisors. did george washington really talked on the cherry tree? it may be able to ask him himself.
