sheikh mohammed celebrates tells captors i told you. so. >> bret: ben? >> ben: i must have a little bit of good news free britney movement awaits white spoke from the chimney to see if she is free. >> bret: we can count on you. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight for "special report" fair balanced and unafraid. lawrence jones he it prime time starts right now. >> lawrence: good evening, bret. welcome to "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ >> lawrence: i'm lawrence jones in new york. one thing that this pandemic exposed is how much america's elite class will recents the rest of us for having the same freedom. that's why they locked us up and disobeyed anybody who didn't obey their honors. former actor and governor arnold schwarz how he and his sophisticated peers feel. >> people should know there is a virus here it kills people. and the only way we prevent it

to get vaccinated, to wear masks, to do social distancing, washing your hands all the time and not just to think about well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed here. no, screw your freedom because with freedom comes obligations and a responsibility. >> lawrence: part of me wants to laugh but it's chilling that someone who once governor add state can speak so callously about the things that make america great. they all feel this way. said the last part out loud. what's worse is what the people in power are doing to make his words a reality. today in san francisco, following new york's league requiring proof of vaccination to eat in restaurants, exercise in gyms and go to theaters. you may be thinking to yourself i don't live in either of these liberal hell holes. why should i care about this? the truth is it doesn't matter the letter behind the name. democrats and republicans are the same. small town items across the country look up to d.c. when

they see how much positive media attention new york and san francisco are getting, they will implement similar vaccine passports in their own town. then you have the weak g.o.p. leaders well, they will cave and do the same. arkansas governor asa hutchison who claims to be a republican signed a law in april banning mask mandates after some pressure, is he now folding to the left. here is his reason. >> facts change and leaders have to adjust to the new facts that you have and the reality of what you have to deal with. whenever i signed that law, our cases were low. we were hoping that the whole thing was gone in terms of the virus but it roared back with the delta variant. it was an error to sign that law. i admit that. >> lawrence: did the facts change or the politics? and what will happen to the strong leaders who care about your freedom? well, this week we reported how the cdc conveniently overcounted the number of covid cases in florida. as the president feuded with ron

sans. giving the media plenty of fuel to try to take down favorite new villain. standing up against tyranny isn't easy. it is necessary. our freedom is worth fighting for. that's why we have seen protests bubble up across the country. specifically in school districts where officials are forcing children to wear masks. like in franklin tennessee where pissed off parents flooded into the board of education parking lot to confront the members of the school board after heated meeting, watch. >> we know how be. you will neff be allowed in public again. >> i know how are. i know how are. >> lawrence: i got to be honest. that wasn't a pretty sight. even though this is what democrats encourage people to do to republicans no. one wants that kind of tension in their community. but you can expect to see a lot more of it as long as americans feel like their rights are being trampled on.

turning to this now. here with me tonight, the host from the kitchen table podcast rachel and sean duffy. thank you all so much for being in studio. we are getting back to normal finally. >> rachel: we are. i love being in here. >> lawrence: you guys have a lot of kids. you love them all. how do you all feel about these mandates and the fact that these parent are standing up to it, rachel? >> i think it's amazing they are doing it first of all, can i say with schwartz negativer. they aresaying we want to make e decisions based on information. as you used the word in your monologue i'm going to say it really businessing me off is that they have been censoring the information. that's what made us go we can't just rely on the government and nic and nih. they have had 42.

let me say it right here. i have got it down. $42 billion in their budget last year. only 2% went to covid and none of it to studying the long-term effects of masks. i can tell you as a mom i don't want my child masked up anymore. censored information on vaccine effects and information and on everything if they were being honest brokers why would they withhold that information and depend on one person instead of lots of voices like, for example, dr. makary who we have here who contradicts what the cdc and the nih say on masks? >> lawrence: so, sean, you are a white male. i want to get your reaction recommendation i am. >> lawrence: this is a former tennessee vaccine he says white male real conservatives that are a part of the problem. take a look at. this i think a lot of our southern states what's happening is the ideology that if you get this vaccine you are somehow placating the left part of the political spectrum and our most

hesitant population in tennessee is the white male rural conservative. they feel that if they get the vaccine then they have, you know, placated the left or, you know, done what the biden administration wants them to do. >> lawrence: so here's the problem though. when you look at the "new york times," they released this today. and this is the headline. why only 28% of young black men new yorkers are vaccinated. we talked about this earlier. i know it's been a mainstream media narrative that this is just white male trump voters who are doing it. there are a lot of black folks resistant to the vaccine because they want more information, sean. >> history of vaccines being used and tested on black americans. yes, there are people white rural republicans that don't want to get the vaccine. news flash, the vaccine was created under donald trump's presidency, right? but you see a lot of independents. and think of the liberals. in my own family, a lot of, you know, crunchy organic eating

liberals who don't want to put the jab in their arm. it's across the political spectrum and religions somewhat resistant to the vaccine. if they wanted people to trust them and have faith in the vaccine. well, level with people, right? let's talk about people who have antibodies who have had covid. >> rachel: thank you. >> from a prior episode of infection. let's talk about kids' risk of going to the hospital and dying. i remember on cnn they used to have the dove death toll on the banner 24/7. that's gone now and now we are not even talking about hospitalizations. we are talking bin affections. they keep moving the goal post instead of leveling with us on what the risks are to the american people. if they would, we would have more trust. >> lawrence: that's the easy way to do it. prefer to shame people. rachel, i want to get your reaction to the cdc. they have become a very political organization. a lot of people probably didn't hear about the cdc. what about what they did to ron desantis in the state of florida. they lied about the stats.

they say it was a mistake mighty convenient to say it took place while the governor was going back and for the with the president of the united states. >> sean: 10,000 cases, right? that's not a small number. >> rachel: no, i would just say, you know, i think everything about this pandemic has been highly politicized which is why people are saying just give me the information. and i will make the decision, especially when it comes to my children. and, again, i just think they are lying by omission on this natural immunity to say everybody needs to get vaccinated to talk about the vaccinated and the unvaccinated is not actually scientifically correct way to look at this. it's about people who have immunities or don't have immunities. and people have other reasons for why they tonight want to take the vaccine, we have natural immunities which many people believe are lifelong and better than the vaccine. why can't i make that intelligent decision for myself, with my doctor, with my husband and regarding our kids? and regarding the mask, i'm sorry, i'm so mad about this that you are going to mask 56 million kids and you haven't

done one long-term study to see what the long-term effects of it. >> lawrence: no study, yet they keep citing the science but won't put it up for us. keep doing press conferences and round table zoom calls they won't put the data because it doesn't exist. duffy's, thank you very much. up next segregation in our school is making a comeback. how one mother fought back after her second grader was placed in all black classroom i thought they stopped doing this back in the 50's. could i a posey and her attorney joins us next. ♪ as someone who resembles someone else... i appreciate that liberty mutual knows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insurance,

>> lawrence: welcome back to the show. the push for equity at this backfired in atlanta where a public school is being accused of segregating second grader space on race. mother kia post is filing a

complaint against the school part of the atlanta public school system. she claims during the 2020-21 school year her daughter was placed in a classroom delegates signature nateed for black student known a recorded conversation between poseyy and the school administrators, they admit that this segregation is policy occurred at the direction of principal but claimed that she had good intentions and was trying to create a community environment. when we reached out to the district for comment they didn't deny that this happened but they made it very clear that they could not support or condone this behavior here now on "fox news primetime" kyla and her attorney. kyla, i have got to ask you this. your child comes home. you find out this is hang. and did you go into the school. what happens next? >> um, it was actually at the end of the school year. she contacted me for the placement for the upcoming

school year and informed her of the teacher the best fit for my student and that's when she informed me that if i placed her in that classroom, that she would be by herself with no others that looked like her when i questioned did she told me that was not the black class. i was then confused. appalled that in 2020 we are talking about black classes and segregation. >> lawrence: wow, when you followed up with the school district, did they say this was going to be done away with or did they continue to try to place her in that classroom? >> they did not place her in that classroom. but, they -- and they did tell us it was months later by the time they had investigated and gone through the process and confirmed that the principal

had, in fact, had this practice going on. so, after that they told us that they were-that was not a practice of the district. a policy of the district. and they condoned it and she would not be allowed to do that anymore. >> lawrence: kila, is your daughter still at that school? >> she is. >> lawrence: and is that teacher still there as well? >> the principal is still there. >> lawrence: the principal, i'm sorry. >> um-huh, she is still there. >> lawrence: cherise, i want to go to you because you are filing a suit, a complaint with the state. where does that stand right now and what do you hope to accomplish? >> well, we filed a complaint with the office of civil rights of the u.s. department of education so it's the federal government. and we're seeking to have the practice ended not just at mary lynn but to the extent that other schools are doing that within the atlanta public school system. we want those practices ended. it's a violation of the civil

rights act of 1964 section 6 to treat one race of students differently than another group of student, race of students. and so we are asking for the practice to cease. we are also asking for the leadership team at that school to be removed because they were well aware that this was a practice. they condoned it. they -- they seemed to support the principal and her decision to designate these black classes. so they need to be removed and that's what we are asking for. >> lawrence: sharese when you say you filed this is that the department of justice or department of education. >> u.s. department of education. >> lawrence: the u.s. department of education. so when they said that they took action, what did they reveal to you the school district? >> well, the school district has not revealed that they have taken any action. they are aware of ms. posey's

complaint and have said that's not a sanctioned practice. but they have not told us what action they are taking to ensure that this doesn't happen in the future. and the currently the complaint is pending in the u.s. department of education so no action has been taken or the department has not required them to take any action at this point. >> lawrence: shresse, they say this wasn't her intention. as an attorney you will have to make the case. what do you think her intentions were? >> well, what's troubling about what she did is that she made a unilateral decision. >> there's a reason that we have the title 6 of the civil right act because we cannot have government entities making these sort of race-based says dig nations. she should know that. in a leadership role as an administrator, basically the ceo of a public school. she should be well aware that

that is not a practice that is authorized by law. and as far as her intentions, however well-intentioned she may have been, in 2021, you cannot designate classes as a place are you put black students, a black class as she referred to it and interestingly enough, i mean, atlanta public schools was one of the first school districts where a lawsuit was filed back in 1958 to desegregate and it was one of the first to be released from supervision of the federal courts when they reached what was deemed a reasonable time period of desegregation. and so, to fast forward now to 2021, what some 50 years later, it would be interesting to see if the office of civil rights deemed this practice of designating black classes as

being compliant with the desegregation? >> i have to tell you chresse it seems like we are going back in time. i hope it gets serious attention from the department. here now to react kila davis. a friend and full disclosure. kara, i have got to tell you this. i know your background. i know that you are a black woman, you are also biracial. what classroom would you be in? [laughter] >> i don't know. i was trying to figure that out myself. i guess the hispanic and asian students are on their own? just listening to kila and her attorney it's heart wrenching. you are absolutely right. lawrence, we have moved backwards. and i like to point out that this is sort of the outgrowth of the critical race theory battle that we're having right now. this is what it calls for, to right the wrongs of systemic racism and even kennedyy says in

his book in order to cure present discrimination tough have future discrimination. i wouldn't be surprised if the atlanta teachers had some crt teacher training materials that they went through to sort of baffling that this principal not only endorsed this but defended it as seems to continue to be defending this. point this out. that the argument that, look, these are kids that are -- they will be comfortable with their own kind, look like them with teachers who can understand their unique place in american society. that's the same argument that racist used in 1950. they were all blatant. a lot of them made the justification hey we have to be separate. this is just as good for you as it is for us, we are with our own kind.

what's the difference between saying that in 1950 and saying that in 2021. the answer is there is no difference. >> lawrence: that's exactly right. atlanta public schools released a statement to fox news. this is what they said in the statement, aps has made historic investments in this area adopting comprehensive equity policy and creating a center for equity and social justice. they later say using race as a method for assigning students to a classroom is unacceptable. aps does not support or condone this behavior. you know, if they say this is true, then why do it in the classroom? why allow a student -- i'm sorry, a principal to go rogue and implement this in their school district? you know, some of us believe that some of the history left out in the school books and our parents had to teach that correct that it shouldn't just be black history month. put all the history the good, bad and you will. that's not what they're suggests right now. they are saying let's go back in time and split the kids up.

kids that love each other by the way. >> i don't even believe them. i mane, you heard sharese ms. posey's lawyer. they are actually looking to get this practice taken care of across the board in atlanta. that tells me that they have discovered other schools are doing this. so, this is a bigger problem than just mary lynn elementary school. you know, i don't believe that statement from the atlanta board of education. in fact, i think that they may also be involved in this because, let's pretend that this was a white teacher, a white principal who said, you know what? we need to divide these kids up so they are more comfortable with their own kind. that's justice. that teacher would be fired, drawn and quartered. so i don't know why we have a different standard for the black teacher it's racism either way. it's going backwards in either case. president biden wants to be out here telling us that election integrity laws are the new jim

crow on steroids. no, this is the new jim crow on steroids. it's right here. >> lawrence: out in open and my favorite part of this statement. i know we have got to government as an organization, this is what they say. we are committed to identifying and removing barriers for our students including our students of color. why did you have to put in the statement students of color. >> they are in on it. >> lawrence: exactly. kara, thank you so much. coming up, joe biden is failing on the border. shocking numbers prove the immigration crisis is spiraling out of control. you know it and i know it and so does ari fleischer. don't go anywhere. ♪ ♪ who can come to a stop with barely a bobble. and sgt moore. who leaves room for her room.

july 212,000 272. that's up 13% from last month which was a record previously. during his press conference today mayorkas made it sound like every last one of these migrants were being sent back. >> migrants encountered at our border are expelled or placed in immigration enforcement proceedings. it is critical that intending migrants understand clearly that they will be turned back if they enter the united states illegally. >> lawrence: that was a lie. that's not exactly true. our one reporter bill melugin pointed out that less than half of these illegal immigrants are being sent back under the title 42 provision. nod as good as the biden administration made it sound. joining me now former white house press secretary and fox news contributor ari fleischer as well as richard fowler. he is also a fox news

contributor. you know, richard, you are a friend and you are a reasonable guy. so, have the biden administration failed on this issue? because, when you look at the polling, he is not doing good there. when you talk to the border patrol, is he not doing there when you talk to those border states, he is not doing well to them and when you talk to henry cuellar, a congressman that's on the border, he says the same thing. so, where do you rate him on this? >> well, thanks for having me, lawrence. i think there is a couple things going on here. i have done some reporting at the border and who is actually at the border a couple weeks ago. what we know a lot of folks on our border from the continent of africa, haiti, lgbtq folks abused in their home country who have died to come to our southern border to seek asylum. they deserve the right to seek asylum. with that being said. >> lawrence: hold on, richard, i don't mean to cut you off. you said they are coming to seek asylum. is that the point where they are supposed to seek asylum?

>> well, oftentimes and from my reporting, that i have done, what you find is oftentimes folks are being persecuted in their home countries can't go to it's not safe for them to go to a united states embassy or not safe for them to go to an airport or jfk or wherever to seek asylum so they end up taking the long trek -- >> lawrence: they can go to a port of entry. >> airport. how can you afford a plane ticket? i'm getting ready to agree with you. >> lawrence: i'm going to switch over to you because richard is a good man it's just not true. they are not going through the legal processes. there is a lot of compassionate americans that want to see immigration reform but they don't want to see people flooding across the border either, ari? >> and, also, one of the biggest flaws in all of this is these are just the people that our border patrol is running into. what about all the people who are coming across that we don't even know, we don't see, we don't capture? they just blend right. in and when the second said they

are going through procedures, what's the procedure? the procedure is to release them and hope they come back a few years from now when they have a trial date? look, what joe biden has done essentially is put out a welcome mat reversing donald trump's policies at the border, sending the signal that even though we say don't come, everyone is coming. so their words are meaningless and people are recognized joe biden has essentially defunded ice and allowed the border to be wide open. you can't do that as a country. you can't do that as a government. he has done it. >> lawrence: you know, richard, i talked with some afro cubans on the ground and we know it is the afro cubans that are leading the freedom fight across the border. they are flying the american flag. and they were very upset when they heard mayorkas as well as the biden administration come out with such force against them but they are not doing the same thing at our southern border

does that trouble you that they are doing that. >> our asylum laws need to be updated. the problem we have in current system has everything to do we have a backlog on those folks seeking asylum. this is where the biden administration has to be tougher and they have to be stronger. what we need in this country more than anything else is a reform to our immigration system that includes updating our immigration courts and modernizing them. right now our immigration courts are based on laws in the 1980s. i can't speak for you but laws written 30 or 40 years ago do not sort of deal with modern times. it has to be tougher and stronger. >> lawrence: i hear you, richard, as i said, there are a lot of americans who are open to that argument, you can't put the cart before the horse. ronald reagan was a republican who did the same thing. and after he did all of that, he never secured the border. so, americans don't have the appetite to do it again. wouldn't you agree? and you still didn't answer my question. why be so aggressive against the

afro cubans people fighting for liberty and not have that same consistent message for the southern border? >> well, i don't think those two things are mutually exclusive. what the biden administration has to do beyond giving platitudes and compiling a list of things that they have got to do on root causes they have to come up with a strategy to securing the border and while securing the border. they have also got to modernize our immigration court. modernize our immigration system and also speed up the process for those who are seeking asylum and have every right to do so. >> lawrence: okay, ari, final word. ari? all right. i don't think ari can hear us. we will wrap it up, gentlemen. thank you so much. also tonight george p. bush texas land commissioner and also texas attorney general. we have george, right? george, are you with us? >> i am. >> lawrence: george, you sued

the united states government as well as the state of texas on this issue. do you see this coming to a conclusion? what do you hope to get from that lawsuit? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me, lawrence, it's great to be with a fellow texan. you know, this is of paramount importance to all texans, border communities, all the way to the high plains. we are going to do what we can at the land office and leverage every single legal avenue possible to secure our border. that's why i filed that lawsuit and i'm going to work with the governor to deed indicate all state lands so we can complete the trump wall. he has kick started it with $250 million from some emergency funds that he has allocated for this purpose. i believe if the democrats return from their job finally to bring together a quorum in our state house that the legislature, whether it's in a special session or in an upcoming legislative session come forward with appropriation necessary. we know that the biden harris administration is not going to do their job texans as you know

are can do people. we are going to do it for them. >> lawrence: i have got to ask you this, george, because a lot of texans are upset about this issue. we have already seen some movement there on that border state. do you think there is going to be some more movement and when i say that they are flipping from democrat to republican. is that going to be the new trend? if democrats going to leave them behind, they are not just going to change parties. >> well, had you mentioned henry cuellar in a variety of border mayors who are democrat, were part of that press conference and they were very direct with the secretary in saying that you have got to move on this issue. this is of pair mount importance not only for texas but it's a national security challenge that we face. i think everybody would agree that china is probably our great 21st century challenge but in the short-term, in terms of what we are looking at on our southern border, it's out of control. human trafficking is spiking. homicides are up. our border patrol agents and our ice agents are totally overwhelmed. so we need a federal government that's actually going to step up

instead of plat studies and rhetoric we are getting from the secretary, from the president and other members of the administration, we want to follow through with action. but, to your point, it's going to create overnight republicans in the valley. that's part of the reason why people like president trump did so well in the hispanic community and why candidate like myself will continue to talk about these issues because it's good for border communities to have security. >> lawrence: george, you brought up that you are running for that office, attorney general of the state of texas. ken paxton is the incumbent there former president trump endorsed him. how are you going to be able to make that case to the people of texas when you have someone like donald trump who is very popular in the state? >> well, i remain the supporter of his and his policies. but this race is about the character and the competency of an individual that will run the state's most important law firm. and that's what i offer to the people of texas, whether it's my ideas on securing the border, my lawsuit against the biden administration, backing the thin blue lion and taking on human trafficking. i think texans will rally to my

message. it's a positive one, and they are going to be excited about what we wring though this agency. >> lawrence: george p. bush land commissioner state of texas as well as candidate for texas attorney general. >> thank you. >> lawrence: lori lightfoot says she supports of the cops but we know better why her latest move has cops up in arm again. that's next. ♪ limu, you're an animal! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ all the time in the world. it's just a saying. but today, for women living with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. more time is possible with verzenio. proven to help you live significantly longer when taken with fulvestrant. verzenio + fulvestrant is for hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer that has progressed after hormone therapy. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection.
