♪ >> greg: we are out of time. thanks to elizabeth macdonald, kilmeade! jim breuer! kat timpf! our studio audience. fox news at night with dreamy trace gallagher is next. i love you trace gallagher, i do. [cheers and applause] >> trace: good evening everyone i'm trace gallagher, it's 11:00 p.m. on the east coast, 8:00 here in los angeles and this is america's late news. fox news at night. and breaking tonight, a scene becoming more common across the country, parents at school board meetings fighting for their kids' education. tonight, ground zero in the fight for parental rights is temecula california a city southeast of los angeles where tempers flared during a 9-hour school board meeting concerning sexualized curriculum. steve hilton and carl demaio are live with us to break down the

ramifications but first to matt finn live with more on a school board meeting for the ages. matt, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, trace. the intensifying showdown between the southern california school board and governor gavin newsome is the topic of a special meeting tomorrow at the temecula valley school district. the dispute is over the state's mandated social stewedies curriculum which the school board rejected in the 3-2 vote yesterday putting in vieration of state law. some members of the school board and parents say that curriculum is just too sexualized and bias for k-5 students and perhaps better suited for high schoolers. tonight i spoke with a member of the board who told me about some of the disputes over the curriculum. those who oppose it say it's more progressive social issues than history, it sexualizes young students and exemplifies gay harvey milk who they called him a pedophile presumably because he dated juveniles. in a 9-hour meeting last night members of the school board expressed their opposing

opinions. >> governor, you do you up there, and we'll do us down here, parents and patriots down at the local level. i've already instructed the superintendent, if books come from shipping and receiving, to say no. we'll ship them right back. this is not your school district. this is ours. >> history is history. we all have our own opinions of how things develop. this curriculum was written, it was approved by the state and now if we're going to start picking it apart we're never going to come to any kind of conclusion. >> reporter: governor newsome says the state is going to ensure the books for the curriculum are sent to the district by the start of the school year next month and newsome is threatening to fine district $1.5 million. the governor also alleges that 98% of parents in the district actually approve of the curriculum based off a parent survey, however a school board member tells me they dispute that 98% of parents endorse the curriculum.

the school board reports 400 parents gave feedback about it, that's 400 parents out of a district with 27,000 students trace. >> trace: matt, thank you. ♪ >> trace: well, the fox news at night common sense department is fascinated by this debate in the temecula valley school district 50 miles east of los angeles leans republican and is among the few california cities to favor president trump in the 2020 election and the controversy is the same one raging across the country sexualized school curriculum. in this case a social studies book the conservative leaning school board says has inappropriate content but california governor gavin newsome the self described freedom governor is threatening to fine the district millions of dollars or enact new laws to enforce adopting the book. some school board members said they would consider accepting the curriculum if it prohibited

sex or sexual preference through fourth grade and naturally wants more input from parents and gavin newsome says the parents have spoken saying according to the school district 98.8% of parents, educators and community members expressed being supportive or impartial to the adoption. common sense is pretty sure you can't get 98.8% of people to agree on the color of an orange, much less agree on sexual curriculum in a conservative county. sure enough. >> the school board told us the 98.8 number is bogus. common sense thinks if you plan to mandate sexual content, maybe honesty is the best policy. let's bring in fox news contributor steve hilton and reformed california chairman carl demaio. gentlemen great to have you both on here. really carl it's all about parental input for the people of temecula. >> this is about parental input. let me be clear, gavin newsome is a liar and a good old fashioned school yard bully. he's trying to bully these

school board members into disregarding school board input and bully the parents into being silent because he wants his curriculum for grades kindergarten through five. that's what we're talking about here. not talking about high school, kindergarten through 5. this school board has followed the law which requires parental input. they did not reject social study books. there are books in place. they're voting tomorrow to ensure that the books are in place. but what they are saying is that the new books with the highly sexualized content will be too inappropriate for those ages kindergarten through five. i'm a gay republican. i support these school board members. i endorsed them in the last election. they're not bigoted they're not homophobic they're trying to protect all children, gay children, straight children, they want parental rights and input to be respected. >> trace: steve the la times says this about the legislation newsome is pushing the whirl wind legislation has been met with resistances from the california school boards association which said that

newsome's order circumstance vents the state's existing textbook process and that he lacks legal authority to distribute books to temecula on behalf of the state. that's the school board telling him he's on thin legalize. >> let as be clear with what's going on here. just with everything he does nowadays is all part of an audition to be president of the united states, that's what this is about and this is a man presiding over a state that is pretty much falling apart. you have crime out of control, homelessness that shames us in the eyes of the world, a housing crisis, no one can get up the housing ladder, taxes and regulations driving people out of the state in droves just on the issue of education. california, 50th out of 50 states on literacy, the worst in the nation on math. what is the percentage that don't meet basic standards? 70%. when you look at the groups that the democrats say they care about most, latinos, 79% don't meet basic standards, when it's

black kids, 84% do not meet basic standards. what is the governor doing? he is picking fights for a divisive culture war instead of fixing the actual problems that his state has. >> trace: great point. we talk a lot about moms for liberty trying to take over the school boards across the country. is it gaining traction carl? do you believe this group is going to resonate come 2024 election time? >> i do but i find it absolutely appalling, the level of dishonesty in most media outlets to claim that these moms and dads are bigots, they're hate-filled, anti lgbt. no. they want to make sure that kids are given wholesome content, that they're not exposed to overly sexualized and controversial topics at too young of an age. i talk to gay parents and lesbian parents who have children in these school districts, even they, when they see the curriculum, i show them the curriculum, i say you need to know what they're trying to put in front of your children, they oppose this curriculum for their own children because they find it to be offensive, overly

sexualized at too young of an age. now, the media refuses to actually show you examples of what we're disputing. why? they know if you saw the content you would overwhelmingly agree with the school board members, the parents and moms for liberty. >> trace: likeied's irs meeting t teachers unions could be gal von sized by these groups your last thoughts on these steve. >> exactly because they're such a threat to them because they are an absolutely mortal threat to the power that they have held, the school system, with this iron-like grip. because they own the politicians. and here you have the parents saying no, we've had enough of this. we should be in charge. we make the decisions. and that is exactly the way we need to go, decentralizing power over education just as on so many other issues, because as you put power in people's hands you get the right results. >> trace: steve hilton, carl demaio, gentlemen, thank you >> well, imagine holding a hearing on free speech where you really don't want people to talk. that was the scene today on capitol hill where democratic

presidential candidate robert f. kennedy jr. accused house democrats of trying to censor the censorship hearing. the senior national correspondent kevin corke is live in the nation's capitol with the breakdown. kevin good evening. >> reporter: good evening trace quite a day here in the nation's capitol. the select sub committee on the weaponization of the federal government examined the government's role in censoring americans today. this is all happening amid damaging allegations coming to the foreregarding what critics have called the systematic abuse of power in coordination with many of the nations tech titans designed they say to silence americans, especially conservatives. headlining today's hearings democratic presidential candidate robert f. kennedy jr. who said recent revelations in the twitter files and missouri v biden says how deeply institutionalized government censorship has become and then he added this, make no mistake, this is a systematic program to control what americans can say

and think. and then later he added this about the so-called trusted news initiative. >> a number of press organizations signed an agreement to censor -- to agree on a censorship regimen so that they would censor and deplatform competitive news organizations that printed stories or posted stories that clashed with the official government proclamations. >> reporter: sheen fellow democrats like hakeem jeffries remain deeply skeptical about kennedy's utterances and political intentions. >> robert f. kennedy jr. is a living, breathing, false flag operation. his whole campaign is being run by right-wing political

operatives who have one objective. try to take down president joe biden. >> reporter: as you mentioned democrats tried to censor kennedy accusing him of being despicable and anti-semitic because of his statement that covid may have been ethically targeted an accusation he continues to strongly deny tonight trace. >> trace: kevin corke live in dc. thank you >> let's bring in former assistant attorney general and cal berkeley professor john yoo. great to see you as always. congressman jim jordan had a fair point about the rfk hearing today. listen to him and i'll get your take. >> it's amazing to me on a hearing of censorship they want to censor the width who's a democrat and the most well known name democrat policy. go figure that's today's democrat policy. >> trace: couple days in a row, john, decent is simply not allowed. >> this is the trouble thing you have people in congress essentially supporting the executive branch of government, the biden administration, in cahoots with social media to try

to suppress unpopular views that the administration doesn't want out there because they question government policy. that is what the first amendment to the constitution, the protection of free speech, was put there for. and so when these big tech companies are getting more and more involved with the government, they aren't going to be able to hide behind the claim of, oh, they're just private property, they can censor whoever they like. the claims of censorship are becoming so strong now that i think these big tech companies and the government itself are getting in trouble and are going to become libel to lawsuits and legislation eventually. >> trace: i hadn't thought of that but good point, the fd 1023 form released by senator chuck grassley, writing he has reviewed the document which includes new information including the identity of the burisma ceo and the allegations that he was coerced into paying joe biden and hunter biden millions of dollars to get a

ukrainian prosecutor investing his firm fired. is this explosive stuff to you, john? >> oh, yes, it is. in fact, you've got to compare this. put this side by side with the steele dossier. they're both the internet. and you can tell which one is real and which one was totally fake. this report is from a confidential human source, basically what we call informants and spies and it is precise, it is detailed. i cannot believe the fbi did not immediately and closely follow this up, compared to jim comey the head of the fbi immediately to investigate himself president trump based on the ambiguous made up details in the steele dossier. i can see where americans are worried that the justice and law department are acting differently with these two cases. >> trace: i have to go but your take on the fbi coming forward today saying the laptop they knew it was legit back in 2020 yet they told everybody that it was disinformation. 15 seconds on that john.

>> this is another example of the fbi and the justice department losing the confidence of the american people when they don't treat like cases alike. the more they do that, the less they'll have -- the american people will have faith in them and the less they will cooperate in law enforcement which will undermine our whole justice system. >> trace: john spot on as always. thank you, sir. >> thanks traces. >> trace: meantime new york city has agreed to pay more than $13 million to black lives matter protesters arrested during the george floyd protest in 2020. ashley strohmier is live with the latest on this. ashley 13 million is a big number. >> reporter: really is trace and new york city has agreed to pay that number, $13 million, to settle a civil rights dispute between black lives matter protesters and its police force. it was brought on behalf of about 1300 people who were arrested during black lives matter proceed interests the summer of 2020. at the time former new york city mayor bill de blasio instituted a curfew and police arrested roughly 2,000 demonstrators

between may 28th and june 7th a period that saw widespread looting and the burning of several police cars. under the agreement, 1380 protesters $10,000 each. the guild accused the nypd of brute lying communities under the curfew. they say police were responding to an unprecedented situation that saw officers pelted with rocks and water bottles adding there is no history or present or future of unconstitutional policing. there is no frequent deprivation of constitutional rights. the settlement does not require the nypd to change any of its policing practices and a judge still does have to approve it but if it is approved it would be the largest settlement ever involving the mass arrest of protesters. trace. >> trace: ashley strohmier live for us in new york, thank you

>> let's bring in the author of the upcoming book what's killing america, ktthost scombroits, so you riot loot and burn and then get arrested and file a civil rights lawsuit. >> yeah, i mean there's probably a whole bunch of people that should have been arrested but didn't who are probably upset because they probably could have gotten some cash out of this. this sends the worst possible message and it's going to be used as propaganda from the defund crowd, from the anti-police crowd because they're going to use this to claim that it's proof that they were brute lived during their riots. and that's exactly what it is that we saw. this implication that somehow peaceful protesters weren't allowed to peacefully protest i think is a reflex of how dishonest folks were about the rallies that turned into riots that the police actually got involved in. these were not peaceful protesters. were there some mistakes that were many within chaos? absolutely. but that's not something that's worth this kind of settlement.

>> trace: yeah. speaking of dishonesty, the fox news headline reads the follow, cnn, msnbc skipped the live coverage of the irs whistleblower hearing on explosive hunter biden probe claims. i mean, it's not like this was not credible information. by credible witnesses, jason. >> yeah, 100%. the reason why they didn't cover this is because, for the longest time, number one, they told us that this wasn't actually a story and, number two, they know it's actually a story and it's incredibly damaging to joe biden. and you can tell how serious this is and how damaging it is when you realize how little coverage it's getting. if it truly wasn't something they would point to it and talk about how this is being overstated. how it's being exaggerated. but they're not doing that. they're just mostly, almost completely ignoring it and i think that's kind of contingent on all of us to go to foxnews.com get that story and then share it so people can actually hear about it. >> trace: i wanted to get your take on this because i saw this

coming by. disney some issues, they lost nearly $900 million for last eight studio releases, the wait times at the parks were 27 minutes in 2019, or they were 41 minutes they're now down to 27 minutes and they're in the midst of a 5.5 billion cost-cutting spree that includes cuts at espn and they're staying the path jason. 30 seconds. >> yeah, it turns out that conservatives now realize that we all have power. we've creeded so much to the radical left but we don't have to allow them to change companies like disney and bud light and others, that if they choose to get involved in politics, okay, we get to do that but we also get to say no thanks. >> trace: exactly right. jason rantz thank you. >> sdwloos home northerns california may have a tougher time getting insurance coverage saying they may limit or no

longer sell coverage in those states. here's william lajeunesses in malibu tonight. >> reporter: not just those two states, everyone is seeing higher rates but this is part of unsurable california. a fire went through here in 2018, knocked out about a third of the neighborhood, almost everyone had their policies cancelled and now they get their homeowner's through the state. >> i've seen our choices shrink and the rates go up. >> reporter: from california to florida. >> the water was coming through the windows, through the doors, through the walls even. >> reporter: insurance rates nationwide jumped 9% this year according underrequire insure by. fire hail storms and hurricanes. >> i just moved here from florida last year so i was like this doesn't happen in new york. >> reporter: computer models show accelerating extreme weather. >> the uncertainty associated with climate change and the effects on losses is quite difficult to model and predict. >> reporter: that uncertainty is

pushing premiums higher as the industry factors in more catastrophic losses. >> we're in the middle of an insurance company insurrection in california. >> reporter: in may, state farm, all state and farmers capped or stopped selling homeowners coverage in california where five years of wildfires wiped out 20 years of profits. even the state which insures those who can't get it privately lost launched a 50% rate hike. >> every single county and tran sacks up and down sdmrooil three national insurers left the property market and several others stopped writing new policies. one reason? state regulators, they say, kept rates artificially low. >> we have all of this insurance that is kept at least for many folks living in harm's way, at artificially low premiums. >> reporter: another? the reinsurance market that protects companies from high claims are now refusing to underwrite that liability for

big disasters. >> insurers are not bound by any insurance department they do what they want. >> reporter: another reason rates are jumping reinsurance, a system that protects insurance companies from very high claims. the problem is, those companies are charging a lot more, and state regulators are not allowing the all states of the world to pass those on to consumers so a lot of companies are simply saying, california, florida, we're done. >> trace: william thank you. coming up, have you seen this viral video of mitt romney walking through the halls of congress with a hotdog in hand? why he's being widely mocked on social media. and later in if nightcap, the world's largest cruise vessel, five times larger than the titanic, setting sail in 2024. would you jump on board a 20-story ship with 10,000 other people for a week, maybe more? or would you take a pass? let us know. twitter and instagram at trace gallagher, weigh in, we'll show you the results and read the best responses in the nightcap. 8:21 on the west coast, a live

nesheiwat. doctor great to have you as always because it's kind of frustrating, matt taibbi posted this article and i read it on real clear politics and you look at this and what they're saying is all of us, we were told, is there was no decent allowed. you had scientists behind the scenes saying things like, the magazine jeremy talking the language of nature article saying quote would you be willing to change one sentence, edit the sentence from it's unlikely that sars covid two led through laboratory manipulation that it's improbable. it's just kind of frustrating for a lot of americans to know that the public wasn't allowed to debate this but behind the scenes the scientists were all doing the same thing. >> exactly trace, you're absolutely correct. i was astonished and appalled when i read this. what happened to open communications and encouraging discussion. instead we're seeing stifling

debate. and from day one there was a lack of transparency and honesty stemming from, you know, the wuhan lab in china. they wouldn't let us have access to the lab, access to the specimens, their lab books, theory research, what happened to the scientists that were there in the first place. and so it's just trickled on to our own government. we expect this from other governments but not in the united states where we expect honesty, open, truth and transparency. this is what hurts, you know, the trust and the confidence in our healthcare system that we're working so hard to try to rebuild. >> trace: yeah, you're exactly right it's crazy. so i want to go to the rfk hearing today, we talked about it a little bit earlier but this part was fascinating because it was about vaccines and here is democrat from virginia on the conspiracy theories and so forth. watch. >> it was not big brother government trying to exercise its will on an innocent

population. but no, an opportunity to have a conspiracy theory here. >> trace: you know, the whole point here is, and it was from the start, that it's not about the whole thing where government has the final say. everybody should get a say. it might not be the correct thing but everybody should have an opinion as long as you're not harming somebody else. >> you're absolutely right. whether he is wrong or right, even though he's an attorney, he's not a medical doctor, he is entitled to his opinions and censorship of his opinion clearly violates and infringes upon our rights. and, you know, again, i think how many americans could this misinformation or disinformation or lack of information or the restriction of other people's opinions, how could it have impacted lives. >> reporter: we have over one million americans whose lives were lost because of this and it's the wrong thong do. and, again, it hurts our trust and our confidence in the healthcare system. >> trace: you're exactly right.

dr. nesheiwat great to have you on as always. thank you. >> thank you, trace. >> well, first up in tonight's crime crisis roundup, houston police now looking for an armed suspect who yoker broke into a restaurant, shoved employees into a freezer and searched for really anything of value. the employees did sneak out of a back door and nobody was harmed. six suspects caught on surveillance video stealing merch from a liquor store in montgomery county maryland. they pulled up to the store in a black mercedes benz and black bmw. police are asking for help now identifying the thieves. >> this kind of thing shakes you up a little bit. we lived here 15 years and never heard of anything like that happening around here so that's pretty disturbing. >> trace: residents of although mont springs florida where a woman was attacked walking on a trail. the seminole county sheriff said the suspect came up behind the woman and began thrusting against her. the woman then chased the attacker who was in his teens. he eventually got away on a bike
