Vice President Kamala Harris’ clash this week with TV host Charlamagne Tha God drew a range of reactions Saturday from panelists on Fox News’ “The Big Saturday Show.”

Host Alicia Acuna questioned Fox News contributors Tammy Bruce, Joe Concha and Charlie Hurt during this weekend’s show.

Harris had reacted sharply after Charlamagne provoked the vice president on Comedy Central’s “Tha God’s Honest Truth” by asking her who America’s “real” president is.

“Don’t start talking like a Republican, about asking whether or not he’s president,” Harris reacted. “And it’s Joe Biden, it’s Joe Biden and I’m vice president and my name is Kamala Harris.”

KAMALA HARRIS INTERVIEW WITH CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD GETS HEATED AFTER HE ASKS WHO ‘REAL’ PRESIDENT IS

The panelists credited Harris for defending herself and her boss – but also examined the circumstances that led to such a question being asked in the first place.

Tammy Bruce: ‘She didn’t giggle’

“One thing you notice was missing … she didn’t giggle,” Bruce said. “She didn’t laugh through any of that and I think that it sounds like a different language.  I think maybe her biggest problem is, if Joe Manchin was president, she wouldn’t be next in line. But when you’re having to do this kind of argument where you then insist you’re the vice president and you say your name, you’re already losing the argument.

“This is a fascinating display once again, when it comes to temperament, when it comes to having a … really quite defensive. She’s talking to a guy who’s got a lot of influence. This is where you can really win and take over this argument. When you face and expect that question and you handle it with grace and maybe even some humor, without giggling, and really own it, and push back with confidence instead of a weird self-defensiveness.”

Joe Concha: ‘Profoundly scary’

“You know what’s profoundly scary here? … One of the main questions this administration is getting is, ‘Who’s running the country?’ Do any other leaders of any other remotely advanced countries get asked such a question? Does anybody else find that disturbing? …

“Here’s another question being asked: Will a ticket that received 81 million votes – the most in U.S. history – ‘Hey are you running for a second term?’ Because we see a poll this week, 22% of the country … want Mr. Biden to run again. Think about this: We’re not even 11 months since the inauguration and the funeral plans are already being floated for Team Biden.

“And while inflation’s at a 40-year high – that’s horrific – and skyrocketing violent crime … that’s owned by the Democratic Party, and while the border’s anything but secure, it’s this perception of this administration that’s impossible to reverse – a perception that Joe Biden is too old, too incompetent, too disconnected from what’s important to the American people to do the job. And Plan B, Kamala Harris, is more like Plan G – as in Gah!

“This person is not equipped to be commander-in-chief.”

Charlie Hurt: ‘Completely out of touch’

“I think it’s a fair thing for a lot of Americans to seriously question [why Biden sometimes mistakenly refers to Harris, instead of himself, as the president] — not just because of the bizarre things that President Biden says from time to time but also because so many of these decisions are just completely out of touch with what ought to be done or just out of touch with reality. …

“This idea of snapping at the questioner and accusing the questioner of being a Republican reveals not only the testiness on her part, and the desperation on her part, but how out of touch they are.

“It’s not Republicans who are so exercised about Joe Manchin right now. It’s Kamala Harris’ own party. It’s the left flank of her party. They’re the ones who so despise Joe Manchin, they think that Joe Manchin has taken control of the country – and of course it’s absurd. It’s 50-some senators who have real serious reservations about this wack-job proposal that the Biden administration is putting forward that’s gonna put inflation on steroids if they go along with it.

“And for her to accuse this guy [Charlamagne] of being a Republican and pushing Republican talking points because he’s concerned about Joe Manchin … “

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that a total of 92,455 in-person school days in Los Angeles County were lost during a period of just over a month in the fall due to quarantine measures.

In an evaluation of different coronavirus quarantine measures by the CDC released on Friday, the government agency revealed that some schools in Los Angeles County were able to avoid sending massive numbers of students home due to virus exposure by using a strategy called “Test to Stay.”

According to the evaluation, the “Test to Stay” strategy allows unvaccinated students who are exposed to someone infected by the coronavirus to stay in school, as long as they properly wear a mask and undergo two coronavirus tests per week. The exposed student also must remain asymptomatic.

The evaluation was posted to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on Dec. 17.

During Sept. 20 through Oct. 31, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health implemented a “Test to Stay” strategy. Within the 78 school districts within the county, half of them permitted schools to use the strategy, and 21% used it. In total, 432 out of the 2,067 schools within the county used the “Test to Stay” strategy.

The evaluation states that after the “Test to Stay” strategy was implemented, “no tertiary transmission was identified.”

Schools that did not use the “Test to Stay” strategy, according to the study, lost a total of 92,455 in-person school days during the Sept. 20 through Oct. 31 period when students were in quarantine.

No school days were lost within quarantined students who were in schools that used the “Test to Stay” strategy, according to the evaluation.

The report states that while students above 5 years old are encouraged to get the coronavirus vaccination, the “Test to Stay” strategy can be used as a way to keep unvaccinated students at school, rather than having them quarantine at home.

“TTS does not appear to increase transmission risk in public schools and might greatly reduce loss of in-person school days. Implementation requires resources that might be currently unavailable for some schools,” the report added.

In a press release, the CDC said that the “Test to Stay” strategy is a “valuable tool in a layered prevention strategy.”

“Test-to-Stay is another valuable tool in a layered prevention strategy that includes promoting vaccination of eligible students and staff, requiring everyone age 2 and older wear a mask inside schools and facilities, keeping at least 3 feet of distance between students, screening testing, ventilation, handwashing, and staying home when sick,” the press release read.

At least a dozen students were arrested Thursday and Friday in connection to threat rumors on TikTok and other social media apps that went viral Thursday, according to local officials and reports.

Students across the country made unverified threats to schools on social media apps including TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram on Thursday, prompting schools and other local officials to take action.

Heightened precautions taken amid threat rumors led to a number of student arrests on Thursday in Miramar, Florida; Palm Coast, Florida; Frederick, Maryland; Naugatuck, Connecticut; Watsonville, California; Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; Wyoming, Ohio; and others, according to local police departments.

Three of the arrests involved 13-year-old males who shared threats on social media in Palm Coast, Frederick and Naugatuck. The Miramar arrest involved a 16-year-old male who is accused of bringing a firearm onto school grounds. A 14 year old was arrested for making direct threats in the city of Wyoming, according to FOX19 Cincinnati. The juvenile arrested in Watsonville made direct threats on Instagram on Thursday that police believe were related to the TikTok trend, police said.

VIRAL TIKTOK SCHOOL THREAT WARNING OF DECEMBER 17 SHOOTINGS RAISES CONCERN, ALTHOUGH IT’S DEEMED NOT CREDIBLE

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office in Florida arrested three teenagers on Thursday for making shooting and bomb threats to schools on social media.

On Friday, authorities in Frisco, Texas, arrested seven middle school students for making threats on social media; the Loris Police Department in South Carolina arrested one juvenile for making threats on Snapchat; the Woonsocket Police Department in Rhode Island arrested two students in connection to threats made at one middle school and two high schools, according to local reports.

Officials are also investigating threats made at schools in other areas, including Aurora, Illinois.

Many of the students arrested made anonymous social media accounts or other messaging apps to spread threats online. The threats and arrests come less than a month after a school shooting in Oxford, Michigan, left four students dead and seven others injured.

“We handle even rumored threats with utmost seriousness, which is why we’re working with law enforcement to look into warnings about potential violence at schools even though we have not found evidence of such threats originating or spreading via TikTok,” the social media platform popular among teenagers said in a Thursday statement posted to Twitter.

The viral videos only discussed an alleged rumor of widespread threats to schools and told others to be safe rather than spread threats themselves, according to TikTok.

One of the posts “refers to a threat to school safety ‘for every school in the USA, even elementary,’ on Friday, December 17, 2021,” according to a message sent out by the Surry County School District in North Carolina. But the district said that “while we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation.” 

TikTok was in communication with “local authorities, the FBI, and DHS,” according to its statement. Officials “confirmed there’s no credible threat,” and TikTok removed “alarmist warnings that violate our misinformation policy.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also addressed the rumored threats on social media in a Thursday tweet.

“DHS is aware of public reporting that suggests possible threats to schools on December 17, 2021,” the department tweeted. “DHS does not have any information indicating any specific, credible threats to schools but recommends communities remain alert.”
