but listen to the governor, governor glenn youngkin, who you mentioned said he believes these schools >> they have a maniacal focus on equal outcomes for all students at all cost. this overarching effort for equal outcomes is hurting virginia's children, and it's hurting, even worse, the children that they aspire to help. >> reporter: and so as you mentioned he has now put forward a bill for the general assembly in virginia calling on schools to be required to notify students immediately as soon as they're told about these certificates. but one thing that's important to note here, jake, is these commendations are not scholarships. they are not the same thing as scholarships. the ones who receive -- the students who receive commendations are out of the running actually for the national merit scholarships. they're still able to access a few limited scholarships sponsored by corporations or a business. jake? >> i know that you've been on the phone with the very active and engaged parents of northern virginia all week. what are they telling you? >> reporter: this is really interesting. a

glenn youngkin was elected largely on the basis of this issue and he's got a great team, by the way. secretary of education and others. but this is a very powerful t issue. but we cannot lose this system and so we have to fight for it and i'm so glad to see these parents fighting for it. but yeah, i do trust the attorney general to look into it knowing that the attorney general of virginia is looking into it, i think these people are going to straighten up their act. this is the restoration of trust and proper authority. >> john: this whole idea of equal outcomes, bill, like saying a college saying we want to make sure that every ncaa basketball player makes it to the nba. it's just not going to happen. but the bigger question is -- >> or to be more candid, more candid, john, more white players in the nba, please. because we don't have enough white players. baloney. you pick the players on the basis of ability, whatever their color. >> john: the point i was trying to get to here, bill, started one with school, now it's 17, but is it broader than that? michelle reed, superintendent of

the relentless pursuit of equity that would damage the prospects of students. >> glenn youngkin's newmes as more schools implicating for failing to notify students about the national merit awards pure georgia state high school is the latest to admit to delaying notifications and national merit scholarship awards to students. the school's principles apologizing saying, "as soon as this was notified, we notified all impacted families in contacting where the students applied to inform them that national merit scholarship accommodations." there is a total of 17 schools under investigation by attorney general jason in three separate counties, eight schools in fairfax county's with five in loudoun county. those schools are hitting the students the hardest, listen. >> they withheld national merit awards from them. this is criminal. they are just terrorizing us as parents. the school board members across the country have gotten this memo that parents are the bad guys. >> many of the schools under investigation by the state have blamed clerical and administrative errors for delay in notifying

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

governor glenn youngkin joins us how to explain. to the first story, it turns out this cover-up was real. is that what you discovered? >> yeah, absolutely, tucker. first of all, happy new year. virginia still continues to be absolutely at ground zero when it comes to standing up for parents' rights with their children, for recognizing that kids need their parents and their lives, and for standing up for excellence. that's exactly what we found in loudoun county. i ordered this investigation on day one of our administration, and our attorney general went to work. oh, by the way, the democrats immediately condemned it, saying it was all political. the reality was the loudoun county school board worked to cover this up. these poor young women should have never been assaulted and the superintendent has fired appropriately and indicted. this is the work that comes when we shine a bright light on these heinous cover-ups that we know are going on. now we see, in fairfax county, violations of civil liberties, where we have students who had

virginia governor glenn youngkin is the one who called on the a.g. to investigate this and just moments he's going to join us live and has an update for us. >> you have all these cartels that basically run this border. selling people and drugs across, big money. >> unless this situation changes and we take back control from the cartels for the trafficking coming across our border, it will only get worse. >> sandra: residents in border towns have been warning for months these cartels are now in control of their areas, and this gruesome cartel-style execution is leaving a california town in complete shock and might just be proving their case. sandra smith in new york. john, hello to you. >> john: middle of the week. at least six people were killed in what police describe an early morning massacre, all the earmarks of a mexican drug cartel attack, due to the brutality and the sophistication of the murders. victims, a teenage mother and 10-month-old baby chased down by a gunman as they ran for their lives from the house. >> sandra: we will speak with the

governor glenn youngkin has to propose a new law too make it mandatory public schools notify parent whennts win national married awards? 17 schools doing that 1000 students involved. all in the name of fairness and equity. schools cite human error. 17 is intentional. it's a pattern. lydia hu in new york with more on the story. lydia? >> reporter: good evening liz. the superintendent of fairfax public schools is continuing her public meetings with parent and she is apologizing acknowledging that trust must be rebuilt. when we first heard about the delay in notifying students of their merit status it was called a unique situation and blamed on human error but now we're getting a very different message. watch. >> i would venture a guess it is not unique to northern virginia. it just happens to be the we're in the middle of conversation right now. >> reporter: virginia governor glenn youngkin promises new legislation to require schools to notify students and parents immediately of awards and scholarship opportunities. for some family it is too late. >> what i didn't know, martha, that fall,

i didn't put it like anywhere in my honors section for college apps. >> now, governor glenn youngkino require that schools notify commended students immediately. they're also going to try to work with the national merit scholarship corporation to implement a layered notification strategy, e-mails, some kind of system to make sure the information gets to students. >> they're trying figure it all out. thank you, appreciate that. >>> straight ahead, what we're learning about the moment actor jeremy renner was crushed by a snowplow and the attempt to save his nephew. >> and we all know, i feel this way sometimes, flying can be scarey. one flight attendant has gone viral for going above and beyond to calm one passenger's nerves, and he joins us live next hour. try this robitussin hohoney. the real honey you love, plus thehe powerful cough relief you need. mimind if i root through your trash? robitussin.. the only brand with real honeneyand elderberry. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. this dad and daughter were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

listen to what virginia governor glenn youngkin had to say about this.rongly. >> they have a maniacal focus on equal outcomes for all students at all cost, and at the heart of the american dream is excelling, is advancing, a stretching, and recognizing that we have students of different capabilities. this overarching effort for equal outcomes is hurting virginia's children and it's hurting even worse the children that they aspire to help. >> so this is part of a larger discussion that we've seen going on with virginia governor glenn youngkin who ran on education issues and has talked even about changing of the admissions process at tj. so this is -- the problem is that it's not clear who he is talking about. who said that they are looking for equal outcomes for everyone? i'm not certain where he's getting that from. a lot of debate going on about this. >> the argument is they would have benefited this they could have mentioned on their college applications they got this recognition. >> exactly. it is recognition, it is not money, not the same thing as mo

so now glenn youngkin is involved. a.g. is involved. the lieutenant governor is involved. they're investigating. and the governor was on fox and said it is now going to be mandatory for schools to notify parents and children of any awards, any kind of recognition, any scholarship that they're up for. listen to this. >> there's clearly has been an effort to bring down the standards for our students in virginia to stop celebrating excellence and this is counter to everything we believe. i mean, this nation was -- this nation was built on the idea of building a better future, of striving and achieving. and here we have what appears to be three -- three large school districts in virginia, who have been systematically withholding information about excellence. this is so counter to everything that we believe. we're going to get to the bottom of it through our attorney general. and we're going to get legislation passed that makes it illegal to do this again. >> brian: can you imagine having to pass legislation to make it mandatory to tell kids they won an award? can this where we

but the message from voters is the same, you all have gone too far. >> the reason glenn youngkin hasters in virginia, what republicans are doing, the new hallmark of this version of extremism in the gop is that the victories are never celebrated. they're doubled down upon and then they go further. i didn't see a single republican celebrate the overturning of roe v. wade. if that was really the aim, why are they now pushing bans that eliminate exceptions to rape, incest and health of mother? >> because they are conflicted because they know that once people actually live with the reality of what those bans mean, we're seeing across this country, you're seeing women who have dangerous ectopic pregnancies who go in for care in some of the states with abortion bans and they're not able to access the healthcare they need. women with incomplete miscarriages and can't go to their doctor and get what is unfortunately routine medical procedure, right? >> septic. >> and so what is amazing to me is that republicans and antichoice advocates have succeeded in doing what choice advocates always wan

that includes virginia governor glenn youngkin. they're responding for the first time since the state's attorney general announced an unlawful discrimination investigation. >> they have a maniacal focus on equal outcomes for all students at all costs. >> what i mean when i talk about equal outcomes is the opportunity for each and every student to achieve their unique potential. >> cnn's athena jones joins us now. you spoke exclusively with that superintendent. that's her calling right now. >> reporter: sorry about that. d >> you might need to get that. did she say where they delayed the notification? >> reporter: there's not a division-wide protocol saying the students would receive commen commendations. now all the students who were semifinalists who had to fill out more forms and move on in the competition, this is not a problem for them. there was no division-wide protocol. different schools will handle it different ways. the national merit scholarship corporation sends these by snail mail in a packet to the principal. sometimes

but then after that, republicans are very excited about the idea of glenn youngkin who won in a non-trump right, last week in virginia where i live across the bridge in arlington, there was a senate special election in a classic swing district, and it was won by the democrat. why does this matter. the virginia legislature just like the congress down in richmond is right tipping on the edge, very close, and so this one seat makes a difference in abortion legislation that glenn youngkin could get past, and of course he's in a very short time trying to build a national record in the state. so virginia has this quirk that the governor cannot get reelected. you only have four years, so just right to jam everything in at the same time that he has his eye on a national race. so last week in his state of the commonwealth address, it sounded very much like some of the things you would talk about in a national campaign. he was talking about empowering parents. tax relief for small businesses, and families. safer communities, but that plan could be in trouble because of this one seat that you mentio

we see the issue of education is making a difference in elections like governor glenn youngkin's win in virginia. it is having a tangible result in classrooms as well. a report published by the rand corporation today found that of a nationally representative sample of 8000 teachers, one quarter said they had revised their instructional materials or teaching practices to limit or exclude discussions of race and gender which washington, d.c. has tried to ram down their throat. the washington post framed this as a bad thing and this signifies needed results. here is dr. ben carson, former former housing and urban development secretary. founder and chairman of the american cornerstone institute and author of created equal. thank you for being here. does it surprise you that lies like the 1619 project are promoted so heavily? it doesn't surprise you in classrooms but it's good to see teachers fighting back at some level. but they have to do it quietly. >> thanks for having me, pete, and thanks for your contributions to the educational front. it's fantastic. school should be about educatin

i believe trump is not wrong that parental rights issues, have become winners for people like glenn youngkin become a major signature issue for ron desantis, who might be facing trump for the republican nomination. so i think he's trying to kneecap him a little bit, by taking on a signature issue and saying, oh go even crazier. >> oh, ron desantis should sue for theft. that was straight out of the ron desantis's playbook. and honestly, former president trump has been paid attention. on his first go, around he talked about when he was running for president the first out, school choice. which was sort of, conservative tenet. no longer. >> look, i think it's very telling -- this is an all opposition strategy, i'm glad you pointed out but actually pulls well, pointed it out. -- local governor camels of iowa just passed, controversial, certainly among democrats but something that is substantive policy wise, and you can use it as a differentiator and maybe even pick up some independents and centrists. this is all playing to the base. it's all about demonization. now some folks on the left won't ma

meantime virginia republican governor glenn youngkin is calling for an investigation into school officialsf withholding test scores. thomas jefferson high school for science and technology is accused of not releasing psat scores on time for students to apply for scholarships opportunities. more than 1,000 students are thought to be effective. >> we have students who have achieved a real accolade to be a national merit scholar and they weren't told. they weren't told because they didn't want to make the other students feel bad. when you have a superintendent and loudoun county who expresses a desire that all students will have equal outcomes, no exceptions, this is the kind of just crazy behavior that you get from principals and administrators. >> trace: the virginia attorney general's office said they are reviewing and evaluating those allegations. a business in seattle forced to close because of a rise in crime downtown. if your new year's resolution was to get in shape, one jim says don't come here. the lightning round with jason rantz coming up. first d.c. man's joyride leads him out of

three tv ads this campaign, to a dam or focused on abortion with virginia's republican governor glenn youngkin pushing for an abortion ban in a closely divided state senate, rouse sold himself as the last line of defense for reproductive rights in the state, and aaron rouse one, because you know it is really unpopular, banning abortion? voters made abundantly clear double terms after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, and every single state where abortion was on the bout, even deep red montana and kentucky, voters came out firmly in support of abortion rights, just as they did in kansas city months earlier. antiabortion republicans lost senate and governor races in major swing states. even donald trump said republicans did poorly in the midterms because they were too extreme on abortion, from whatever that is worth. you might think that republicans to take, i don't know, a lesson from all of that but, apparently, not. in their first week can join the house of representatives, republicans today made it one of their first orders of business to vote on anti abortion measures, and it's not

. >> well, i'm really excited and grateful for the whole team enrichment, glenn youngkin and attorney general and lieutenant governor have moved to uphold promises to families and students and currently writing the bill right now and senator donovan will be carrying the bill for governor youngkin and we are -- we feel so grateful and really believe that this is a bill that must pass. >> harris: blessing to you both and i'm so sorry for your son. i know he must be a superstar because he has a great mom. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> harris: we'll be right back here on "the faulkner focus." we all know that words have power. they set things in motion and make us happy or sad. but there's one word that stands out, because when people say it, lives are changed. it's not a big word. it's itsy bitsy. it's only three little letters. but when you say it, the life of a kid like me can be changed. so what is this special word? it may surprise you. it's yes, yes, yes, yes to becoming a monthly supporter of shriners hospitals for children. that's right! your monthly support allows the doc

if you look at rhonda sanders in florida and glenn youngkin, they are going to face enormous pressure to move on the national abortion ban. you're closer to. it i wonder if we will see that. >> chris, we are only in the first week and what we've already gotten with republicans at the helm and these tragic decisions that they are making, that literally impact peoples everyday lives. we stand by that politicians should not be involved in this decision-making. doctors, they're seeking to criminalize, in my own state of georgia we had a six-week abortion ban, in south carolina republican supreme court rejects the six-week abortion ban that they had because of privacy issues. so this is not something that is just in what they would like to consider blue states. one in four women in their life will seek abortion care. that's someone that they know, someone that they love, someone at her church, someone that they hear about their family. that is why democrats stand by women, making personal private medical decisions and keeping politicians side of the decision of making these choices for wom

[laughter] this is done by our own people. people who are committed to a very different agenda, people who don't believe in the idea of individual achievement, rewardingal the lent, and they make mistake of thinking that regarding people equally means evaluating hem equally. so they bury information. this can be information valuable to getting college admission, scholarships and just a matter of pride. you know, recognizing -- pete: yes. >> -- your kid worked hard and was a national merit scholar. it's a big deal. people have parties because of that and celebrate their kids' work. but i don't have to tell you, this

they may have two democratic senators now, but glenn youngkin shows that doesn't have to be the case. that virginia voters are willing to elect republicans to statewide office. and i want to say that among the many staffers i talked to on the democratic side, tim kane is universally popular. he's sort of a dream to work for and very popular among his colleagues in the party. so there is a fear that if he does not run, a lot of what he brings to the table, both legislatively, both in terms of working with moderates and libber ats will go away very quickly. >> daniel straus and molly ball, great to see both of you. thank you both very much. >>> what alec baldwin's legal battle looks like after prosecutors announce plans to charge him with involuntary manslaughter for that movie set shooting. and just weeks after bill's star damar hamlin's on-field cardiac arrest, the bills and bengals set to face-off again in the playoffs. what is at stake and the extra motivation that hamlin is giving his teammates. >>> and we're keeping an eye out to see lloyd austin and general mark milley set to ans

>> virginia republican governor glenn youngkin wants to make it mandatory for schools to notify parentsship awards. this comes amid investigations into multiple schools accused of failing to give students their national merit scholarship recognition in a timely manner. governor youngkin vowed today to stop the practice. >> there's clearly has been an effort to bring down the standards for our students in virginia to stop celebrating excellence and this is counter to everything we believe. >> virginia's attorney general is investigating allegations against at least 16 schools. we have new information tonight in the pursuit of reparations for black americans who are descendents of slaves or victims of things such as drugs, housing discrimination, and other racial disparities. national correspondent william la jeunesse has the latest on extremely controversial subject. >> i'm offering no apologies. this is for black evanston residents. >> in a handful of liberal cities growing support for reparations for black americans. >> reparations isn't charity. it's a debt for 400 years of slavery. >

shocked about katie hobbs in arizona, we will see where that goes but that's why someone like glenn youngkinf virginia because of the mess of the education system in general. >> harris: last i checked, the governor may be had more power than the equity coordinator. >> emily: may be but remember the constitution in virginia was amended so that the school boards actually had more power than the parents so unfortunately i think it's a little bit backwards that the good governors trying to surmount right now. absolutely it's actionable. of course, these are lost opportunity costs for these children. scholarship losses are also is real. it is supposed to account for economic disparity. there woke contingency says that here's what this means and it doesn't mean that or even if you are economically disadvantaged but don't have another box checked, that means you don't count, that is so patently unfair. my mom was the presidential scholar just a few years ago when she was in high school in california to this day that certificate and then the photo of her shaking the president's hand as a high school

floridians tax dollars battling mickey mouse, drag shows, and shouting about gas stoves, and then glenn youngkinia, another republican with a white house glimmer in his eye, and deeming a fetus a passenger in a car, allowing pregnant drivers to use the carpool highways. further curtailing abortion rights by advancing personhood laws. and then sarah huckabee sanders whose day one orders focused on prohibiting arkansas schools from teaching critical race theory. sanders also signed an executive order on a crucial matter that has nothing to do with her state's high poverty rate or its childhood hunger problem. or how covid hospitalizations in arkansas were in the 400s. no, nothing on any of that. instead, within hours of being sworn in, sarah huckabee sanders signed an executive order banning the term latinx, that will put food on the table. the right's obsession with telling you what to think, what to read, what to do with your body, even what to say is getting creepier and even more aggressive by the tame, even downright authoritarian. a new police video exposes one republican's literal attack on

glenn youngkin and governor desantis who were able to take on the issues in their states as governors that the attorney general of virginia is going to look into this as a criminal act because was this family harmed? was the child denied an opportunity to get early decision at a different school? where they possibly denied financial aid because he achieved this meritocracy. so republicans that are actually doing things in their state while you've got people in washington who might want to run for president one day who are admired and nonsense. >> judge jeanine: jesse, what about this? >> jesse: everybody in high school knows who's smart and no one's feelings are going to get hurt if grady mcmenamin gets an award. you knew he was crushing it all year because they participate, they get all as and look around. you knows who's getting what grades. if you know it hurts your feeling of high school? when you get cut from the basketball team. when you don't have a prom date. when your car is a lemon and everybody else has lexuses. i'm not saying any of those things happen to me but what i'm s

the last cycle, glenn youngkin ran for governor of virginia, right, this was a guy who was a wall streetn he leaned into this book benin thing. everyone who wants to win a sub republican now has to decide, this is the world -- i mean, donald trump has pivoted to be more like ron desantis, because this is how it seems to going to win. forget about the consequences for kids, part of the consequences for politics in america, but the republican party is starting to look at redeemable. >> no, they're not. because it's power. they have a 63 majority on supreme court right now, look at the number of federal judges that donald trump appointed as well. in the car what happened in the last election, when they've taken over numerous school boards. in south carolina, they have taken over ten of the 14 largest school boards, they have inspiring superintendents left and right. there is a very clear strategy that is in play, they are executing. democrats are asleep at the wheel. we also have to understand, this is not just appealing to a white conservative evangelicals. it is appealing to white democra

glenn youngkin had to close down the crt tip line because there were no tips, it's not happening. >>and california ranks 48th, and spend more per student, and ron desantis was handed 34th, he's trying to improve that. >> he won re-election, right, unless i'm hallucinating. >> the idea that critical race theory is not taught on the k-12 level is gaslighting at the highest. a subject where it's thoroughly embedded in a course in high school, that's what we are talking about. undeniable, using the authors of critical race theory. and listen, my suggestion is if you have a state that is 34th or 48th, maybe don't burn up resources and time on queer black theory and focus in on math, english. >> trace: and we have to go. will cain, jessica tarlov, thank you both. sandra. >> i have no intention of letting the republicans wreck our economy. >> maga republicans apparently want t fight for the privileged few, wealthy, well-off and well connected. cut social security, do they want to cut medicare, cut veterans benefits, do they want to cut police, do they want to cut food for needy kids? what's

didn't serve and his -- something like krista knew, who a purple state governor who served on glenn youngkinlane but it's. narrow and it's not really a fortress -- >> i heard mitt romney the other day being asked in an interview. he said he thought in the end, former president couldn't when reelection in a head to head matchup. do you think that's? true >> i think that's. sure donald trump cannot win in the head to head against joe biden. on the blind it as -- >> what gives you that confidence? >> with the ticket, i think it's right. are you talking about kamala vp? it's right. people look to the top of the ticket ultimately. and i think he's got a strong record to run. on frankly, there's enough people that don't want donald trump that i think that go with joe biden the same way they went last. time a very accomplished president in his first term, but when you talk about the reasons why people voted for joe biden. it wasn't out of excitement, it was because of the alternative. >> i would just add this, that's moral talking about, okay, it's not donald trump, and it's not round desantis. who

the governor, glenn youngkin, weighing in on the incident over the weekend, accusing the district ofocus on equal outcomes for all students at all costs. this overarching effort for equal outcomes is hurting virginia's children. and it's hurting even worse the children that they aspire to help. >> we have reached out to the district for comment. i want to bring in virginia attorney general jason miyares to the conversation. welcome, attorney general. i'm glad that you're here. this might not be an obvious connection for some people to think about, the idea of failing to tell the commended students about their recognition and national merit status. and then having a connection for a violation of the virginia human rights act. what is the correlation here? >> well, this is what we know. we know that fairfax county public schools hired an equity consultant, paid them about 455,000 dollars for nine months of work. and one of their recommendations for the school district was equal outcomes for every student, without exception. that's their words, not mine. and that included a directive th
