county of reporting all these incidents occurred in loudon county public schools. attorney general garland i sent a letter along with thomas massey regarding the instance and haven't gotten a response from the department of justice. will you commit to respond? >> gentleman's time has expired. ms. bass. >> thank you, mr. chair. attorney general garland, in 2014, 12-year-old tam area rice was fatally shot by a cleveland police officer. despite multiple requests from prosecutor in the civil rights division to investigate this shooting the case stalled without approval from d.o.j. officials who had political concerns about high visibility police misconduct cases. ultimately department officials essentially ran the clock out on the statute of limitations for federal obstruction of justice charges. that following december, a whistleblower and barr ended the department's inquiry into the killing. this year the family wrote a letter requesting the department reopen the inquiry into her murd and convene a grand jury. according to a department spokesperson the letter has bee

chief washington correspondent mike emanuel is live for us in loudon county.l for those students and everybody else, mike. >> no doubt about it. the national school boards association has apologized but it certainly did a lot of damage with parents worried they would be treated like the enemy for expressing first amendment rights. also a lot of focus on attorney general merrick garland who wrote a controversial memo earlier this month. some alarmed the memo may have a chilling effect if the justice department will treat parents like domestic terrorists. 19 house republicans on the judiciary committee are calling on garland to rescind his memo. you side stepped the chilling effect the law enforcement apparatus would have on parents' speech. they initially urged the biden administration to investigate school board protests. garcia has been appointed by education secretary to the national assessment governing board. loudon county virginia father scott smith demanded answers about his daughter who was sexually assaulted in a girl's bathroom at school. the family a

look, harris, i lived in loudon county where this is all happening. we moved out three years ago and i will tell you why later. you could see this coming over a long period of time where the education -- what was once the best public schools in the country suddenly started falling apart because of the curriculum. what has happened over the last nine months is joe biden. joe biden has ratcheted this up because mccauliffe and biden want to hand education over to the teachers unions. what you see is parents have had enough. when biden's justice department launched in and said we'll criminalize parents who speak up, that caused a backlash in loudon. i've spoken to friends of mine who are liberals, democrats, independents, they are furious in loudon county over this. some have taken their kids out of the public schools. others are leaving or planning to leave, harris. so i think they poked the wasps nest on this. people will tolerate government intrusion in their lives and deal with a lot. when it starts to impact their kids there is hell to pay and i thin

back in 2012, republicans were competitive in loudon county. mitt romney lost by four points to barack obama. donald trump comes along in 2016, suddenly republicans lose it by 17. four years of trump as president, now republicans lose it by 25 points. in the span of just eight years republicans went particular being competitive in loudon county to getting absolutely blown out. that's what we're talking about here when we say trump backlash areas. places like loudon county. places like right next door. fairfax county. more than a million people there. this is the biggest county in virginia. again, look at this. trump, 70 -- excuse me, lost basically 70 to 28%. roll back the clock to the pre-trump election of 2012. still a democratic county, but only 20 points. barack obama beat romney and in a county big at fairfax, more than a. people. difference between democrats winning by 20, democrats by 40 and enormous implications state-wide. how democrats are able to get margin up in virginia. making huge gains in places like fairfax, loud be and other p

>> i lived in loudon county for 23 years. i asked a former school board member. she said to us that the school board is very aware of any disciplinary actions especially violent and sexual in nature. the fact that the incident happened at the high school. the principal was obviously alerted. then they went to law enforcement. it's automatically sent to the superintendent and the school board. the fact they said they didn't know at the june 22nd meeting is wrong. >> laura: when i first heard that last night, it took my breath away. if you don't know that a girl says she was raped, we won't recount how it happened. it was hideous. it made me want to cry. if they did not know about it they shall all resign. >> i agree. the superintendent is the last line of dense for our kids as far as the school disciplinary process. the fact he is just falling on the excuse we didn't know is lying. >> laura: the democrats passed a bill to end a requirement for virginia schools to report all crimes on campus. the bill's sponsor michael mullen on what crimes would be exempt. >> whic

elizabeth: a big student walkout today in loudon county, virginia.ts over what they call a school board coverup of a teenage boy found guilty of raping a ninth grade girl. now fox news chief washington correspondent mike emanuel is in loudon county with more. mike. reporter: liz, good evening. in the building behind me the loudon county school board is meeting, ground zero for parents in northern virginia sounding off about what is happening in their schools. a loudon county father, scott smith, demanded answers after his daughter was sexually assaulted in may in a girl's bathroom at school. now the juvenile judge says it happened, the family attorney says the smith family stands stronger than ever moving forward to insure that those responsible in the loudon county school system are held accountable. scott smith was arrested at a school board meeting in june after an activist told him his daughter was not assaulted. since then the national school board's association pushed the biden justice department to crack down on school board protests to charac

wants him to answer questions in front of the judiciary committee specifically related to here in loudon county where it is ground zero talking about parents trying to take control over some semblance of their children's education. make no mistake. nobody is saying we need to tell teachers exactly what to teach on a day-to-day basis. we want a seat at the table on the broad educational initiatives that we're paying for with our taxpayer dollars. >> harris: nobody wants to impede on how they get their jobs done. they have mighty jobs in the classroom. parents have a say as you are saying in terms of what is exactly being taught to our children that maybe we want to give some balance to when they get home. quickly, back to the son-in-law of the attorney general merrick garland. i want to make it clear when they say curricula we aren't just talking about basics here. this has a certain bent, a certain leaning to it. >> exactly. it is not really what you are teaching, it's how you are teaching it. instead of teaching math 2 plus 2 equals 4 we'll look at math as systemically racist and 2 plus

now this is the video of the june 22nd meeting of the loudon county school board were 48 year old scott smith was arrested. he was there, found guilty of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest as soon as to 10 days in jail, which was suspended, pending good behavior. but what would actually make a father do you think this angry, are we prepared? is a story that is sickening and shameful. smith's daughter, a 9th grade girl with sexually assaulted and the women's bathroom stonebridge high school in loudon, county, virginia. i gender fluid student, the suspect to war skirt entered into the girls bathroom and assaulted the victim very violently and follow her too much investigation by the sheriff's office with the suspect was actually arrested. and according to the victims attorney charged with 2 counts of and i apologize for the descriptions, but they're very detailed. they're forced forcible sodomy, one kind of sodomy and one count of forcible fellatio. scott smith, the father, the victim said he was at that board meeting to actually ask the board members why children were not being cons

a former department of justice official and the parent of two loudon county students is joining us nowls the race the quote fight for the soul of america and labels mcauliffe a political servant and g.o.p. candidate glenn youngkin a public servant. those last two descriptions first, ian, what do you mean? >> well, you know, i can tell you just from being out here, what you're seeing from candidate glenn youngkin is he's really listening to parents, and he's giving them a voice. he is seeking to understand what is going on. he now has a full understanding of what is happening in virginia's public schools, and he is willing to go out there and stand up for parents and really be the parent's candidate. you know, terry mcauliffe, you know, this is somebody who has been in politics for a long time. he continues to dismiss parents' concerns, calling them conspiracy theorists, despite the fact that loudon county public schools covered up a sexual assault so they could pass their political agenda. terry mcauliffe is always talking about, you know, the unions and special interests and it's clea

ago, ed gillespie broke every record there was in the republican party in loudon county but still lostut issue is front and center. last quick thing. the reason why both parties are targeting the national message is that there aren't a lot of kind of gubernatorial, high propensity voters left. 1.8 million people voted in 2020 that did not vote in 2017 in the last governor's race. that means both parties are specifically targeting those only presidential voters that are moved by the big guns to turn out and vote. that's what you are seeing happening. it will be very, very close. >> dana: jim, when you have parents who are fired up and mad after covid closures, all that you saw this year with critical race theory and now this horrible situation in loudon county with the accusation of a rape that was presumably hidden under the rug, is that something that could tip this in the republican's favor? >> that's what glen youngkin is banking on. i agree with reince. both parties are making this a national issue. mccauliffe has largely campaigned on abortion after the texas decision trying to fi

in loudon county, virginia, a number of spirited school board meetings in recent months.race theory in the classroom. proposed transgender policy and of course one father scott smith wanting answers after saying his daughter was sexually assaulted in a girl's bathroom at school by a male student wearing a skirt. smith was arrested as a school board meeting in june after an activist told him his daughter was not assaulted. now there are calls for the superintendent and school board members in loudon county, virginia, to resign. a big reason why education is a hot button issue. >> parents all over virginia and loudon county have been standing up at board meetings trying to get people's attention they are unhappy with what's happening in schools. as governor i will work for parents. i will work for children. >> election day in virginia is one week from today. there is also another school board meeting here in loudon county later today. >> dana: thanks, a terrible story. >> bill: it sure is. the father was charged with disorderly conduct. let's see what happens now. we were t

and the other thing is what happened in northern virginia in loudon county.urriculum issue. you have the allegations of a cover-up of rape of a couple of young ladies at loudon county schools. so when that happens and then you throw mccauliffe's statement that parents shouldn't have the same kind of role as teachers do in their children's education or minimizes parents' role he opened himself up. the question is i think loudon county will be a bellwether county because it went for biden last time. it's not going to go for biden this time which means it won't go for mccauliffe. he will put them off. i think it is real trouble for those guys and the democrats, i would not bring biden in if it were myself. i'm happy they want to do it. i think that is going to incentivize and energy the republican base even more. >> harris: i've covered, when they take a bus tour, this kind of late in the game and so tight, that's what youngkin is doing. he is getting on a bus this afternoon for charlottesville and adding cities to his bus tour. that's a sign he is ready to talk

are there there, people in loudon county support this point of view?ld started looting, rioting burning stuff down and as terrorists so they listen to us. we're peaceful, trying to express ourselves, this is what we're seeing, this is where you guys are failing, you guys are not stepping up. they don't care. these people absolutely do not care. they are the scum of the earth in my opinion. will: i got to run. i'm up against it. you know what is fascinating, the entire nation will watch a local school board election the next time these school board members are up. we'll pay attention to your school district where it seems to be ground zero. >> absolutely. one thing if i may, we were the ground zero for these school board meetings. we spoke up. the entire nation is speaking up. telling to the parents. do not give up. be involved with the kids curriculum. be involved with the school. do not give up. tell the school board members they can go to hell if they don't listen to you. this is not how it is supposed to be. we're supposed to be a smart nation, we'r

>> i called for an investigation of the loudon school board. fbi should leave the parents alone and focus on what happened in the schools. a perpetrator was prosecuted for sexual assault and they tried to hide him in another school. he did it again. the school board is guilty of gross negligence. people should be fired or resign. i called for a full investigation. in the attorney general is not willing to do wait until january 15th when show up and our next attorney general will have a full investigation. virginia parents deserve this. our schools are not safe. they are teaching our kids what to think as opposed who how to thing. we will re-establish excellence in schools and safety. >> sean: glenn youngkin if you win this race it will be a political earthquake that will be heard across the country. you are dead even. we will follow this closely. coming up donald trump jr. has reaction to biden's plummeting poll numbers and president trump a big announcement we will share with you. we have obtained exclusive video of illegal immigrants arriving

ben loudon was rejected by the bush administration, 2 decades of war, followed with countless lives lost out at the end of it all the militants back in charge. i'll senior correspondent is in cobble and asked what's really been achieved the afghan war and it's just shy of it's it's 20th anniversary, the, the war a vengeance that was launched by the united states as revenge for 911 and quickly morphed into something else. one of the most protracted conflicts in modern history, an exercise, and, and nation building before losing all lame and tylenol towards the end. neither the united states nor any of its allies still knew what it is that they hoped to achieve. here. the end result is that it was unanimously considered an abject failure. metallic banners is back in control. and more absolutely than it was before the united states invaded afghanistan. and the question that we're hearing now in the holds of congress in parliament, in europe, in, in the press and in there on television, internationally is, is who do we blame? we need to consider some uncomfortable truth that we did not fully

they back when loudon, it came back to bite them. it always does, and this is no exception. and earlier we ask political commentary, chris bomb re, an anti war activists. brian packer want the 20 year long american anti terror operation actually achieve for afghanistan to decades. american leg occupation has increased the number of charges groups increase the average a higher despite us on the growing up canister. as a reaction soon, what the american sticker industry showing us to billions by drawing the bombing at science. therefore, i don't think we should hold off the american presence as be forced to stability in afghanistan. it actually de, stabilize the country across the board. and it rebuilt support the tower. but the main point i make is, is that the americans are not part of a solution in afghanistan. they were part of a problem. let's remember the big picture, the context. when the united states invaded afghanistan on october 7th, 2001, there was no isis. the whole war. i'm terror by the united states, which is included the death of 250000 afghans during the past

they back been loudon. it came back to bite them. it always does. and this is no exception. or for more than we can cross live to chris bemberry, who's a political analyst to am i, it's really early in this, but if you had to guess who might be behind this attack at this point, do you think it could be as womach state? i think it is. oh, i'm home. ok. so i said it is exactly what we saw in syria that while on way you know, i asked isis k was fighting against the high side regime. it was actually kind of a muslim world who the god is heretics. a disagree with so this kind of sectarian attack, unfortunately, there's a whole lot of isis as a, as a says, we saw it so in syria, at the same time as well the isis k are also, that was wrong with the tower because they believe it's our certainly negotiated settlement, which led to withdraw the americans made a deal with the devil and also the oppose the taliban relationship with china because the was mentioned in your, in your package. so it is old home of ice cables in terms of the 2nd nature of the machine most, but also this wish

many questions are still being asked, not the least why the taliban offer to hunt over osama bin loudon was rejected by the bush administration. that led to 2 decades of war. countless life lost. and at the end of it, all the militants back in charge are senior correspondent, murat, gusty of reports from kabul, and want to conflict has achieved the afghan war. and it's just shy of it's it's 20th anniversary, the, the war a vengeance that was launched by the united states as revenge for 911 and quickly morph into something else. one of the most protracted conflicts in modern history, an exercise in a nation building before losing all lame and ty like normal towards the end. either the united states nor any of its allies still knew what it is that they hoped to achieve. here, the end result that is is that it was unanimously considered an abject failure. but taliban is, is back in control and more absolutely than it was before the united states invaded afghanistan. and the question that we're hearing now in the halls of congress, in parliament, in europe, in the press and either on televi

they back been loudon. it came back to bite them. it always does, and this is no exception. and earlier we asked political commentator crazed banbury and anti war activist brian becca will say 20 year loan american on to terra operation, actually achieved 5 canister. got to be sure. increased the number of charges groups increased, leverage a higher despite us on the growing the afghan is done as a reaction soon what the americans did to could industry killing of civilians by drawing the bombing at science. therefore, i don't think we should hold off the american presence as being a sports for stability in afghanistan. it actually de, stabilize the country across the board. and it rebuilt support the tower. but it made it point on makers, is that the americans are not part of a solution in afghanistan. they were part of the problem. let's remember the big picture, the context. when the united states invaded afghanistan on october 7th, 2001. there was no, i says, the whole war on terror by the united states, which is included the death of 250000 afghans during the past 20 yea
