cause of inflation. blaming on supply lines is about complaining your sweater keeping you to warm after you've added several logs to the fire." very good analogy. the leader kevin mccarthy said republicans are ready to take the gavel back from nancy pelosi. >> we have a real challenge on her hands but we have a real opportunity. the only need five people to be the majority. we have 30 democrats who are retiring in 2010, 63, only 17 retired. this is an opportunity we might not have again to turn the country around. watching the president looks to opec to solve the energy crisis and then to america. we watched in afghanistan and will have a hearing to get to the bottom why we have 13 new gold star families based on his decision. it is the only recourse to be able to make the next century the american century. >> carley: i love what kevin mccarthy said when he said next century, the american century pair that needs to be a

slogan. if you think back to 2016 why he was elected into office, trump, he was primerica and defended our history, our culture, our traditions appear that not only resonates with the voters but makes the country stronger. he thinks the biden administration one of the greatest issues that they have is not pro-america or at least not governing with pro-american philosophy in mind. if you think about all the greatest issues this country is facing right now, a lot of them lead back to that, whether, you know, open border were crime issues. america systemically racist and therefore we need to reimagine criminal justice reform. i hope the next entry is an american century. it doesn't feel like we are going that direction right now though. >> todd: it seems to a certain circumstance are more focused on open china with their road

issues then making american century the next century. that is a major concern. if i am g.o.p. kevin mccarthy i continue that theme but focus on a few things. when the general like kevin mccarthy said right there, making sure, from that point, we don't win we lose america but secondly you heard him alluded to it in the sound bite. you need to focus on the specifics of what you will do. you will cut inflation. you will lead investigations into the things the american people's want answers on, afghanistan and the like. you need to have the specifics. you can't go generalities. >> todd: that is one of the things it easily affects like the border situation. go back to what was working in 2016 under the trump administration. democrats know they have a problem on their hands. we talked about this yesterday. the congressional campaign committee is warning members that are running in swing districts that voters think

their party is preachy, judgmental, and focused on cultural wars. they need to be more focused on republican attacks. so they advise they are giving democrats running in swing districts, the republicans say anti-cop and the d.c. say no i say you support law enforcement. the republicans accused of being open borders. they talk about all they want to keep border safe. the dcc telling democrats to be republicans. >> todd: it is crazy they need the kind of guidance that those general americans thoughts don't come instinctually to people because they've gone too far to the left. insanity. in the meantime speaking of too far to the left, president clinton with the new york state democratic party convention and her speech as some thinking she might be gearing up for another run in 2024. listen. >> should be clear to all of us that the struggle for unity and democracy is far from over.

republicans are defending coup plotters. they are curbing voting rights and precisely at the moment when democracy needs champions. >> democrats are fighting for the rule of law and for judges who follow it. >> todd: literally everything she just said there is incorrect. an op-ed in "the new york post" said "clinton fails to realize insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." clay travis, hillary clinton to the spotlight say the democrats, the state they are in right now. >> have bad things are for democrats are right now, tucker and then hillary might be their best option in 2024. now, she will get crushed, but she might need her best option. think about it, you have joe biden it would be 82 years old and almost incapable of speech now. i can imagine in three years how he's going to be on the campaign trail.

you have kamala harris who may be has the least popular politician in the history of the world, which is saying something. >> ever. >> you have mayor pete who is still on paternity leave. who else do they have? i really think and i'm not even being crazy about this my think hillary will be the choice. >> todd: and on the senate size fox news, gives republicans the edge and the midterms. on this map 14 states solidly in the red and nine solid blue. a handful of tall subs with two senate races in arizona and georgia. those of the special election. speed to listen to this to the new york state trooper who accused andrew cuomo of groping her when governor is suing him in his former -- the trooper who served as a bodyguard in 2019 claims the disgrace democrats right hand woman to cover up the alleged incident. the woman is seeking damages in a judgment that the dual violated federal, state and civil laws.

they denied the allegations and andrew cuomo resigned after 11 women accused him of sexual misconduct. >> todd: 9 minutes after the hour, san francisco school board members blaming racism after parents overwhelmingly voted to recall the members. >> carley: the media blaming -- calling to recall dangerous, brooke, live with more. >> todd, carley, those recalls, the board members sharing their thoughts and gabriel lopez saying "none of this is a surprise. we've been threatened of a recall six months into the return because of what we were highlighting. we were bringing up what we were challenging. the issue that i am pointing to is when that comes from people of color, primarily women of color peer that in itself is enough to silence us. how they achieve that is through a recall. and some voices in the media are echoing the accusations.

one cnn opinion article saying the right successfully for in-school politics as concerned concerned parents having their rights infringed. this was the case with desegregation and buffing. but recall organizers are celebrating the victory and remain hopeful for the future. >> we are not going to put up with this so whoever the mayor wants to appoint next time, better watch out. >> we call election showed, more people getting involved in the government process. we saw a lot of people voting that normally would not be voting. >> the results showing just that all three members voted out with over 70% of the ballots. organizers say the efforts was largely fueled by asian american families who are motivated by virtual lottery system for prized local high school. this 2016 tweet from now recalled school board member accusing asian americans using white supremacist thinking to assimilate and get ahead.

london breed support of the recall after and is expected to catch replacement for the three board members and the coming week, carley and todd. >> todd: broke, thank you. when they throw race at you, they have nothing else. it shows the fallacy of their entire platform and all of their points. they lost and they have nothing to lean on, but again, let's not forget to point out the lunacy and all of this. how can this be about race and this ultimately was pushed over the finish line by nonwhite voters? think about that per second, that makes no sense and a situation of parents raising up for their kids. we saw it in virginia. we see it in san francisco. we will see this across the country this year. and it spans all races, all social backgrounds. parents united by one common goal, to see their kid slide. >> carley: it is too ridiculous to respond to the fact that the school board

member is blaming racism on this same people who voted her out of office want to silence color. london breed the mayor of san francisco, women of traveler leading the charge to recall these people. i think it can be overstated how important this is. san francisco only 7% of residents there are registered republicans. so these are liberal voters saying this liberal school board is too liberal. >> san francisco is the most liberal place in the country. you can go to the democratic national convention and not find as many democrats as you do in san francisco. when you prevent ultimately what the parents are upset about, which is their kids learning for two years. instead focus on things like the need to remove the horrible dianne feinstein name of this building. you may start to tick off some parents and that is exactly what happened here. it happened in virginia and if republicans are smart, they will

make sure they run on this every single race. it makes the democrats make a decision. are you going to join with them and all the shenanigans of the school board go away or support this decision and even lose when democrats vote you out? >> carley: san francisco is one example but overall the message to the democratic party, stopping crazy. stopping so far -- like recognized that open borders are a bad thing and deep on the place was a bad idea. not everybody wants to pin race against race. hopefully we have moved past that as a nation. stopping crazy and then people will support you. >> todd: interestingly the number one thing the producers say in my hair ear, stopping crazy. a threat of a russian invasion and ukraine still hostile. >> carley: kremlin forces with massive drills outside of the ukraine border. brooke jenkins is live with the

you. this is a moment of peril. terrorist bombing, inside russia. and the discovery of the mass graves. the stage drone strike against civilians or a stage, even a real attack using chemical weapons. >> todd: already, there has been showing in eastern ukraine with entries reported after a kindergarten school was hit putting u.s. and nato officials on high alert as moscow is the number two ambassador. meanwhile russia denies claims of a impatient despite 150,000 troops now posted along ukraine's borders. >> we look at our partners, to drop and to stop this hysteria

drilling in foreign land. in other words, go back to american energy strength. >> carley: also republicans are pressing the energy secretary to release a report how many jobs were lost when biden closed the keystone xl pipeline. >> todd: listen to this absolutely heartbreaking story. 29-year-old shot in houston in the same week. the aunt of one of those little girl said something needs to be done right now to address this crisis. she is here next. >> carley: dr. anthony fauci is telling you what is best for your kids. he weighed in on school mask mandates. we will talk about it with lara trump. brett tolman on deck on this friday morning. ♪ ♪

was referring to was, in fact went through shane, this small business owner in canada. if you read the story, it does say how when she made this donation and apologized and didn't realize it would be as controversial as that was. but then the story itself says when she made this donation with the canadian authorities were saying it was dangerous so, in fact, she knew this would be a controversial as it was. the splitting of the hairs that they are trying to do was a little bit silly, but again ilhan omar is not especially a sympathetic victim in any case. >> todd: i think my take away from all of this is to underscore the kind of person working at the mainstream media in this day in age they would validate basically attacking an innocent person. but we move on to gavin newsom her favorite governor blasted over a tweet warning a vital weapon of war made to look cute for kids was put up here at the tweet from mr. newsom, you see a

for being here. ut says it's all about academic freedom but you see this resolution goes against academic freedom. why? >> yeah, well, basically they found so much to suppress what anyone else can say on campus and beyond if you look at the reaction of the critical race theorists to parents and school boards and always about suppressing what others say. we have a policy now where all faculty for promotion and hiring are supposed to be expressing their support for the university of equity and inclusion as defined by the critical race theorist groups. they want representation on all the hiring and promotion committees. and that is not academic freedom. as soon as anyone starts pushing back and saying "no" we need to be free to do our thing and you can't impose your ideas, then they get worked up about freedom. and that sort of gets to me a little bit. >> todd: it is interesting how

freedom goes one way. professor, you work with the faculty members that voted this through peer they are your colleagues, why? that is the question i was come back to, why do they do this? >> well, we've had a shift in universities over the last few decades. a lot of people don't appreciate that so many faculty viewed themselves as activists firsts and educators and researchers may be second or third at best. and so, there is this mind-set of what we need to be doing is bringing about this specific set of social changes dictated by this odd theory that they built up, not educate children and adults and not provide education and not look objectively at facts. you have this activist for the tribe and so much of the university. >> todd: apparently they write a five figure check each year, five figures come at some point will go into six figures. when i write that check am i

paying for activism or what i thought i was getting which is teaching? >> you are paying for an awful lot of activism. there is a lot of activism and money that you are not paying but the state money that flows in from taxpayers. we had -- we found out they were using $100,000 state grants to provide, to create critical race theory training materials for four years old in preschool. that's not education. that is not real research. they wanted to check it to see if the materials were, but that is using your money as a parent, your money as a donor, your money from the legislature to just push their ideas. >> todd: right. >> for activism here that is what so much of the money is being used for now. >> todd: professor, you touched about this but i want you to drill down more. critics say look, these are adults with atomic learning in these classrooms, crt is something that adults should be

able to discuss at a high level college level. what is your response to that? >> the key is to understand the process the critical race theorist use as they get into an institution and they use the rules to make sure not that they have an opportunity to express their ideas, but that everyone has to be forced to adhere to their ideas. so they will take over classes. they will take over acquired classes. and you can't get to that class if you don't express the ideas that they want you to express. we have what are called flag rail hook to michael flag requirements and a flag committee, oh, yeah assigning activism qualifies you for the red flag. so it's not that, let's talk about classical liberal talk or postmodern philosophy. you must set your and your only option or perspective you can use as intersectional communism and if you don't get out of this class, you don't get this flag
