congressman byron donalds, republican from florida joins me now. congressman, how will this bork? >> i think the key thing it is giving parent every tool possible to defend their children. when parents send kids to school, they want them to learn reading, writing arithmetic. they don't want them to be indoctrinated. they don't want them to be weaponized in this culture of wokism. what is the governor is doing giving parents a cause of actioning if they feel the parent are indoctrinated they can go to court, as opposed to getting back and forth with a teacher or principal which typically doesn't go anywhere. i think it is the right move. we'll see where it goes with the legislature. stuart: critical race theory is supposed to be good for minority kids in schools. as a black man, do you disagree with that? >> i totally disagree. i don't think it is good for any child. they say if you don't believe in critical race theory, you don't believe in teaching history. that is not true. i believe in teaching history, i don't believe putting in about a subjective theory to teach history. subj

joining me congressman byron donalds republican from florida. oh, my goodness, congressman, i almost said california. >> don't do that. lauren: i'm thinking, listen to thinking what elon musk just said. he said look, california took everything they had that was so great for granted. they just did. they had innovators there. people with ideas and money. they took it for granted, drove everybody out with bad policy. now you guys, a lot of people in florida, it is the place to be. prices are rising. what is your reaction? what do you do about it? >> look the number one thing we definitely are what california used to being. as florida goes so goes the nation. our problem now is twofold. number one we have crazy spending out of washington, d.c., led by joe biden someone who frankly doesn't know much about economics anyway you about his desire is to spend more money than our economy possibly needs. that affected the entire country. the second thing is, we're in such demand in florida because so many blue states have gone crazy with respect to the covi

one of the republicans who did vote against this, byron donald, joined me now. proponents of this bill say all the info will be kept private so no worries there. >> i don't believe the federal government should have this kind of information at all and it is crystal clear throughout the years that there are leaks, they are hacks, this information gets out and the last thing we need is some administration like this ministration that doesn't even care about the constitution or the law targeting americans and leaking information about who is vaccinated and who is not. that is why i voted no the entire republican conference should voted no. >> what is this database going to be used for? >> what they are looking at, the democrats sponsored saying they can keep all the records together to get through future pandemics but that's not the role of the federal government. they are ignoring the declaration, the constitution when it comes to the stuff. laura: couldn't it be a way to have a national database on the unvaccinated? where do they live and specifically if it gets i

i was talking to byron donalds here yesterday. he said if we do one thing we better be aggressive and unafraid to get to the truth. the bottom of the origins of covid and how government is being weaponized, the bought only of the fact that parents are being targeted by the government. what happened in afghanistan? is the pentagon telling the truth? and one of our colleagues may have been spied on by the government. maybe look into that, too. on the whole bunch of levels there is a lot of light that needs to be shown and republicans will have that opportunity. prelude to a 2024 culture war. >> harris: it sounds like a movie. >> bill: how about accountability. government should be reined in. >> harris: he can't work with democrats. they are hot mad at one of their own today and nothing that biden has been able to do to change that with joe manchin up until this point. you think it gets easier or harder as they get close to losing some seats in 2022? a rhetorical question. pete, you have some hot things happening on our streaming pla

let's bring in florida republican byron donalds. good to see you at the critical race theory died down in the months following the off year elections but do you expect it to ramp up into the midterm cycle? >> i will say it's not hitting the news cycles right now but it hasn't gone anywhere. when i talk to parents and my district and other parents across the country, the battle again crt is alive and well. what has happened now is elections have occurred. so you have some school businesses trying to figure out what their next pass will be. let me be clear, parents are alert, looking, paying attention and piling request and they want to know what's going on in their child's classroom here they have every right to an teacher is to make teachers with crt should not be fired but commended. >> john: a member of fight for schools told usa today, "this is a movement that will not slow down parents and parents will never be quiet again. we will not be asleep at the table when it comes to children and their upbringing." this starts with criti

[laughter] brian: okay, fine. ainsley: rachel, your book, all-american christmas. you and sean wrote it together and interviewed some people at fox news about our christmas stories. it is number one in the country. rachel: i know. i'm so excited about it but i have to tell you i don't think it's about me and sean. i think that there are so many people out there who are just excited about christmas. there is pent up energy around christmas after our government tried to shut it down for two years now. and i think people are saying no more we want our traditions back. we're not going to let the government cancel christmas. and i think that that's what this is really about. and about holding on to our christian and american cultural heritage. brian: sean takes full for it that was nice of to you be deferential. brian: when i was signing books i get this picture of pete hegseth in a colonial unifor

byron: they were amazing finds. we discovered these letters. we uncover them. anyone who goes searching through the archives knows it is like you can find a needle in a haystack and we found a few needles and these haystacks so we peace to these letters together. what we were able to determine is that former president nixon and donald trump had a friendship. they would bounce ideas off of one another from everything from football to the legacy of the vietnam war, politics today. it is absolutely fascinating to read this correspondence between these two men and to have presented that. he put that in a special exhibit at the next library which is now no longer open. it was called the presidents club. it took a look at elation shifts between a series of -- the relationships between a series of presidents. historians now have to wrestle with the fact that these two men had a relationship and how does that factor in to historian's understanding of these two men? we presented some really interesting and compelling new history? susan: have you opened the doors to the

following his remarks, we will hear from byron

byron york had some comments about that. watch. >> what is happening here is reality has intruded again on the biden presidency. his disastrous handling of the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan revealed joe biden was not the expert in handling foreign affairs that he claimed to be during the campaign. he had been in the senate a million years and said he knew how to do this stuff. now, this latest turn in the covid crisis has shown that he was not the expert that he claimed to be during the campaign this has shown an extraordinary contrast between candidate biden and president biden and for president biden to say there is no federal solution, that is the kind of thing he would have blasted president donald trump for saying and now he's saying it himself. will: so, lawrence, the best i can offer to help explain and you asked why now, to help explain why now is the offloading of responsibility. what you can see now, what anyone with any clear eyes can see is omicron is going to make its way through our country. omicron is going
