>> carley: a fox news alert, number keeps going up, 17 schools in virginia have failed to notify students of prestigious national merit award on time. you're watching "fox and friends first"s, i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i was told it was a one-time error. governor youngkin blaming the school's pursuit of equity for sparking the scandal and he says he will hold them accountable. brooke singman here with the plan. >> brooke: glenn youngkin is banning public schools and officials from withholding information that relates to

recognition, award earned by the student, including any achievement earned. listen to this. >> there clearly has been an effort to bring down the standard for students in virginia, to stop celebrating excellence. civil rights have been violated and we need to understand, it is pursuit of equity that would damage the prospect of students. >> brooke: the new bill comes as more schools are implicated for failing to notify students about their awarding. george c high school's school principal apologizing, saying as soon as this was conif i recalled, marshal school notified parents and students. now there are now a total of 17 schools under investigation by attorney general mayoras,

including eight schools in fairfax and five in prince william county and four in loudoun. fairfax county mom says the schools are punishing students who work the hardest. listen. >> they withhold national merit awards from emthis. it is criminal. they are terrorizing us as parents. the school board members have gotten the memo that parents are the bad guys. >> brooke: many schools have blamed clerical or administrative errors and are notifying students. >> todd: the gall of districts to do this and second, blame administrative errors for it, is astounding, administrative error doesn't happen 17 times. this award has been awarded for decades and we haven't had a

problem. for you to lie shows how guilty you are. notion of equity at all cost fails everyone, achievers and nonachievers, you are not doing them favors by telling them they are doing great when they are not. this is part of the problem we are experiencing in society where people think they are doing a great job and they are not, that impacts the work force and put us in the situation we are. >> carley: the fact glenn youngkin is proposing a bill to force schools to tell kids they are doing well and excelling is mind-blowing. this is part of the equity push, rather than help kids that are failing, you're holding kids back that are excelling. so strange toy moo, when kids get national merit awards, it makes the schools look good.

only 50,000 get them, highest psat scores and it leads to scholarships for college. a lot of kids that didn't know were from asian families, hard-working, middle-income american backgrounds that could have needed scholar upon shoulds and may not have gotten them as a result. >> todd: i have seen results that say the more poorly your students do, more money you get, peverse incentive schools took to subgiigate high-achieving students and hurt their college chances for money, that issic is. if you think that is bad, ohio administrators getting caught on camera pledging to push critical race theory in the classroom regardless of the law. >> there is more than one way to skin a cat, you can pass a bill that you can't teach crt in the

classroom, the programming or you didn't cover extracurricular activities, that message can still get out. oops. >> we have parents that don't fully understand, so when we trick them, you know. >> todd: wow, the dissuperintent says critical race theory is not part of the programming, the district follows state standards related to public education. our children are not some social sprm. it is your sole job to educate them and prepare them for the next level, give them the skills to succeed in the next grade level or workforce and any administrator who loses sight of that fact and thinks he is there

to force a social agenda needs to be eshg eliminated. >> carley: if you want to fire up a parent, play that clip of the woman saying parents don't fully understand what their kids should be learning in school. are you kidding me? reminds me of glenn youngkin and mcauliffe. mcauliffe said, i don't think parents should be telling kids what they should teach. not just virginia, all over the country. we spoke to an educator last hour, here is had to say to todd, watch this. >> it should be a parent and school partnership and it is really not. in our district in upper arlington, transparency has been a problem, they have their agenda, they get caught reading books without telling inner pas and they say they are going to

do an investigation, but nothing happens, no consequences for teachers or staff. you can say you don't have a class that is called critical race theory, when you use the terminology of white privilege, that is under the umbrella and we have social emotional learning, which crt is through that, as well. we have to constantly be on them. >> todd: these are my kids, our kids, not the children of the state. the state is an employee of the parents, parents pay tax dollars, tax dollars gr to school and the dollars educate kids, not forcing views on emthis. it is good parents in virginia, ohio, are waking up to this fact, all parents need to be hyper vigilant because this movement that we are seeing needs to be stopped and i'm not

saying every parent should be a helicopter parent going into the school whenever there is outcome for your child that you don't like, that is part of growing up. you're going to get a bad grade if you don't do well on a test. this social engineering needs to stop and stop now. >> carley: that woman you interviewed was great, she also said that the school has struggled significantly with education, more interested in math and reading and those test scores are going down because teachers are so focused on cultural issues. a lot of parents are in a tough spot, they are going, i can't afford private school or catholic school, what do i do, she said the best course of action is push back, your only recourse is to speak up and we've seen that upon haing since 2000 twenty, this started during the pandemic when inner pas

realized what was going on in school. >> todd: ask yourself why the united states of america, the wealthiest and best country in our world, has such horrible and noncommensurate test scores with the rest of the world, it makes no sense. we should be number one across the board. schools are focused on this crap, instead of the real things they should be teaching. >> carley: now turning to this, president biden extending national covid emergency months after declaring the pandemic is over. republicans say it is time are if the country to move forward and they are taking action. kentucky congressman brett gurthie is here next. >> todd: lions and tigers and what? hold on, that is what is coming to the los angeles zoo. who better to talk about drag shows at a zoo than jimmy failla? you don't want to miss it.

>> the pandemic is over. no one is wearing mavengs, everyone seems to be in pretty good shape. it is changing and this is a

perfect example of it. >> todd: you heard him, president biden says the pandemic is over, so why did his administration extend the covid emergency until mid-april? they are introducing a bill to end the powers. kentucky congressman, brett gurthie is joining us. the president admitted it is over, why is his administration acting like it is not over? >> the president did say the pandemic is over, he hasn't released that, in fact, he just extended it. they continue to use that as emergency power. we need to get back to normal. we are not saying covid is gone forever, we are saying the emergency is over. the way the emergency is supposed to be used, when the

trump administration used it, it invoked respirators into planes and to get kwichl to medical providers. they are trying to get legislative statutes passed. congress needs to get oversight back, there is new majority in unto, started last week. we will begin working on this and take oversight, take back control, but we're willing to, wo with the administration. we've been asking for a plan since last february to say what do we need to do to move forward and work with covid. >> todd: we are approaching the three-year mark of covid and yet

the biden administration is fighting specifically mask mandate, listen to this, this is the justice department. they said cdc can require masks onnen plas, wearing a mask was one of the most effective means available in 2021 to combat spread of covid-19 and allow air travel to resume safely. the cdc had authority to issue this order and to do so to make the order effective immediately and the district court erred in ruling otherwise. your response to that argument? >> i think the district court was correct, there is a very stretch of the statute to say they can mandate mask on transportation, but they didn't get public input. there are other administrative actses you have to follow to get public input. we're saying public can get input through ascertains and public relationships and move

forward. i don't believe in the mask mandate they used or in their argument and i don't think they will win in court. i fly to dc weekly and people still choose to wear masks on i weras, questionable if they are effective. we don't think they have the authority and the court made the right opinion. we would like to address it where they don't have the authority, we want to make it clear they don't have the authority anyway. >> todd: why do you think biden and the democrats seem to want a perpetual pan dem snick >> if you look at the emergency powers, they cited the pandemic to go to move to other statutes to do student loan forgiveness. it is power, control, going around the legislative branch and you said every member of the legislative branch and congress should call upon ourselves to take our authority back. we shouldn't seed our authority

too much, we have done it. congress is going to be focused on making sure we exert our legislative authority. there is checks and balances for a reason, james madison and alexander hamilton put them in place for a reason in terms of checks and balans. >> todd: state, federal, local, all about control. brett gurthie, appreciation it. major weapons package to ukraine, experts warn america's weapon stockpile is being wiped out and putting our national security at risk. joey jones will inpack where our military readiness stands right now. heavy duty pulling power. ♪ to conquer the high road, or the off road.

the central u.s. bringing snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain and new system moving to the west, luckily not slamming california, this is moving into the rockies and northwest. snow across upper midwest and plain states. snow totals close to two feet in nebraska. we have winter weather advisory in place for the plains up toward the great lakes and then severe storm threat for ohio region, that is pretty crazy this time of year to see theific are for tornados in january for the ohio valley. future track shows that storm system bringing snow, the sleet, freezing rain and the rain, plain rain along the coast because it is too warm for snow for the coastal areas. we will get pretty significant snow total from pennsylvania to upstate new york and new england.

there is the rain forecast along the coast, too warm for snow. new york city has not gotten snow for weeks, we're into a snow deficit and might set a record for the latest first snow on record. i don't know if people are celebrating this, is this a good thing, not a good thing, do you like the fact we don't have snow or that it is warm in january, all questions i have. do you have answers? >> todd: as an adult, i'm thrilled we don't have snow. as a kid, i feel bad for the kids, they like snow. when you have to deal with it, ice and snow and worry about your roof and shovel your driveway. >> carley: i don't have a car, i haven't driven in aeck diddade. i want all the snow. >> janice: see what i can do for next month. >> carley: one happy person, one sad person, very balanced. >> todd: united states set to

announce another massive weapons package for ukraine. experts warn america's stockpile is being wiped out and putting our national security at risk. take a look. we have given more than a million, 155 millimeter shells that will take five years to replenish, 8500 javelin missile launchers and 1600 stinger missiles that will take 18 years to replenish. >> carley: retired marine bomb tech joey jones joins us now, good morning to you. what do you think about this, we're hearing the latest package will be $3 billion of aid to ukraine, there are concerns our stockpile is being depleted by this war. parse through this with us, where should we stand? >> american people need to start asking questions and we have been and republicans won the house in part because we have questions about this

admini administration's ability. whether or not you agree with the support of ukraine, what is the next war or conflict and how prepared are we for that? administration is on the hook for that question and that is where americans are with it, whatever we send there, money, supplies or weapons issue as long as it is not troops issue most americans are stomaching that and understanding the reason behind it. if you can't show you planned for it or you have a plan to back fill our military, you are making us weaker under the auspice if russia takes ukraine, we become weaker, it is a lose-lose for americans when they see it that way and learn it that way. >> carley: great point. >> todd: so many viewers are veterans, many active military, what do the rank and file american soldiers think when they see all this money and all these resources and ep wa

weapons going to ukraine and not being available to them to do their job to defend our homeland? >> when i was serving ions ago, money was not a problem and equipment was not a problem and weapons were not a problem. a lot of gals and girls are saying i learned during my 10 years, eight years, five years in the military, we have spent a lot of money replacing things there was nothing wrong with and you haven't replaced bombs and bullets we use? why is that? military personnel in the age of information and google and reporting we do now, unlike 10 or 20 years ago in my are wa, more rank and file have opportunity to learn about issues like this, as opposed to me, first presidential election

i paid attention to was john mccain and obama and i was learning about how the military was funded, i was halfway through my marine corps career. someone joining the military today is aware of issues and thinking about emthis, that is big difference in perspective. this is biggest issue highlighting it for men and women highlighting today. >> carley: there is this,isise writer calling out philadelphia flyer for sitting out of this week's pride night due to religious beliefs, he previously participated in military appreciation night. this writer tweeted, of course, ivan is more than happy to play pregame dress-up when it does align with his belief system, here is what the hockey player had to say about the controversy. listen here. >> i respect everybody and everybody's choices, my choice

is to stay true to myself and my religion, that isula i'm going to say. >> what is your religion? >> russian orthodox. >> carley: what do you think about this controversy? >> the quote you just read, i'm trying to find the pun, the criticism? he will do it when it aligns with his belief, that is where every american should be on this. you should respect people and present them with grace and dignity in all walks of life. if they have not done anything to harm anyone, regardless if you agree, treat them with respect. in this country, we refuse respect with celebration and those are two different things and i don't know what his beliefs are, for him sexual orientation is not something he should celebrate and i don't

think we have a case in the supreme court that says you have to celebrate sexual orientation and for that reason, you're only going to criticize him if you are personally offended, but not because he has done something wrong. criticize him, he is fully within his right. i don't know if i would do the same thing, i know where religion is on this and i respect and appreciate a lot of people, i don't feel the need to get mad at this guy if he chose this. if they will draw that parallel, i wouldn't waste my time criticizing. >> todd: our colleague who is gay said this player owes nothing to nobody. that is the overall takeaway. thank you. >> carley: kamala harris

bring in the mayor of arizona, mayor gilles. what do you think of the border czar coming to arizona and not visiting the border? >> it is a great story and we appreciate that, but it is a lost opportunity to visit the border and bring attention to the security issues we're facing. the drugs coming across the border are absolutely impacting mesa, arizona. we've recovered 800,000 fentanyl tablets in the last two anthem months and these are drugs coming across the border into our community. there is absolutely security issues at the border we would love for the vice president to bring more attention to and bring more resources to and as everyone knows, we're facing a surge of migrants due to lack of

updated immigration laws. when title 42 goes away shortly, we'll see extreme surge at the border of migrants. we have a crisis at the border. we need more federal attention, i agree with mayor adams criticism of the lack of leadership at the border and that applies to the administration and the reform we need have to come through congress. there is blame to be shared all over washington, d.c. >> carley: you mention mayor adams, he just visited el paso, texas and he just wrote a "washington post" op-ed about the border issue, which is interesting to have the democratic new york city mayor writing an op-ed about the border crisis because he says it will cost new york city 2 billion to deal with the migrants flooding into the big apple. he said what i found in el paso is what i feared, the national

crisis left local governments struggling to adequately care for the migrants coming into their community says. what do you think about that statement from mayor adams? >> i'm in washington, d.c. at the u.s. conference of mayor conference and i was with mayor adams yesterday in a conference on this topic and i appreciate the energy he's bringing to the issue. new york city received 40,000 migrants over last few months. this is an issue and border states, we've been lighting ourselves on fire trying to get attention for decades now, very much appreciate mayor adams entering the debate. this issue has been overlooked for deck eddas by washington, d.c. >> carley: john giles, thank you, we appreciate it. government set to reach 31.38 trillion dollar spending limit
