8:00 am
is all about for the democrats. >> mike: plenty for you to talk about in philadelphia this week. thank you for your time and analysis and we'll follow all of it this week. thanks, rich. >> thank you. >> gillian: take a look at this. nasa canceling a space walk scheduled for this morning. one of the astronaut's space suits leaked and forced nasa to pull a plug. the second time it was canceled over a space shut issue. >> mike: as a space geek i love it. >> gillian: we don't have coolant in our suits here. >> mike: the planet looks pretty from up there. >> gillian: great to be with you today. "america's newsroom," and "the faulkner focus" is next with harris. >> harris: a fox news alert as american voters know the current president, joe biden, is
8:01 am
privately preparing for a critical first debate, a big question that we're running into from people is which biden will they see at thursday's cnn presidential debate, which will be simulcast here on fox? one of them shows their age and raises big questions about his fitness to serve. the other seems more alert like he did at this year's state of the union address. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." a look at some of the rules for thursday, which may make a difference depending on which version of joe biden shows up. there will be no live audience. so no distractions. and no input. other than the co-moderators. no consulting with campaign aides during commercial breaks. no props or prep notes. we know that joe biden as president has carried such notes. both candidates' microphones will be muted when it is not their turn to talk.
8:02 am
no interjection. sometimes good questions come from each candidate. president biden is spending a week, as i said, privately preparing at camp david. the former president, donald trump has been all over the campaign trail in the last few days. no shortage of advice for both men. >> for president biden one more piece of advice, still a physical visual medium, right? he has resting old face. he needs to smile. when he smiles it goes away a little bit. when he smiles his face comes to life. they are practicing this. practice smiling. >> i think former president trump were smart he would say to the crowd are you better off now than you were four years ago and let joe biden talk. don't try to overstep. >> harris: that's the best advice, huh? he needs to smile. get joe biden to smile. i think what comes out of his mouth is pretty critical, too. north dakota governor doug
8:03 am
burgum on the short lies for vice presidential pick says don't be fooled by the biden strategy. >> there has been a real effort on the biden team to try to lower expectations. i think we have to look. the guy running for office more than a dozen times and run for president four times and campaigning since president nixon was in office. this guy has the ability and we're anxious to see which joe biden will show up. >> harris: aishah hosni is at the white house now. >> i can tell you sources are telling fox news this morning that president biden is surrounded by at least a whopping 16 debate prepers as camp david now and stay there until he heads to atlanta for the big debate. also tell you it is common, harris, for the president to do a mock debate. one of those staffers, one of those aides will pretend or be the challenger, former president trump and the president will undergo a mock debate.
8:04 am
now biden's team knows that the 81-year-old has to perform well for 90 minutes straight and so he will continue to prep and stay there and probably not be seen until he heads down to atlanta. in contrast, former president trump is on the campaign trail holding rallies, meeting with supporters in between all of his debate prep. he called biden a worthy debater last week but thinks all the prepping he is doing at camp david will wash away on that debate stage. listen. >> i think he will be prepared he will be fine and forget it an hour after preparing. we'll see what happens. >> all of this is happening at ronnie jackson said he will send a letter to the white house to the president requesting that he take a drug test before and after the debate. meanwhile the white house is getting some raised eyebrows about a recent promotion, tyler
8:05 am
cheery now leads communication for biden's climate office. he is addressing controversial past tweets he made including saying the police are the quote direct evolution of slave patrols and lynch mobs in an effort to clean that up, he posted this. he says past social media posts when i was younger don't reflect my current views, period. i support this administration's agenda and will continue my communications work focused on our climate and environmental policies. not the kind of story the white house wants to see out there in the public media right before a big moment for the president. but the white house spokesman tells us they are proud to have tyler cherry on their team. all eyes now on these two contenders as we await this big debate. >> harris: i'm sure you caught it. the tweet was from 19 hours or so ago. you know people were sending out all his old tweets. so if he had hoped to get out in front of the truck that's coming
8:06 am
toward him, he was already too late 19 hours ago. we'll see how this -- i don't know if one tweet says i didn't mean what i said. doug collins and patrick murphy. look, cleanup on aisle seven is something unfortunately that politicians have to do. even presidents have had to do it. why would you pull somebody on your team that already is a train wreak on social media in terms of cleaning up after him unless you are desperate? what does it get the democratic party and the wohite house, >> doesn't get you a lot. it is about donald trump and joe biden. it will be a debate of contrast especially today, harris, when we are two years from the disastrous dobbs decision that overturned roe v. wade. do you know 1-third of american people don't have access to reproductive predome.
8:07 am
>> harris: you are going away from the question why they would hire this guy. a tiny sample of the flood of criticism of tyler cherry by social media users. some of them. let me guess, cheap fakes? a reference to the white house characterization of recent videos of president biden. because this is in response to that tweet that aishah hosni showed us which i pointed out came out some 19 hours ago saying don't pay attention to what the younger me posted. i don't know if that includes recent younger him or do we know it's all the same person? another, too late to back pedal. you are exposed as a horrible human being and one more, would you accept that explanation for far right posts? doug. >> the last one probably is the more applicable one. they would not accept it for anything like that. look, how much -- i think we both understand this was a bad -- optics of this are terrible.
8:08 am
but it is also a continuation of the white house and communications department. they know what the social media posts were before they hired him and they hired him anyway. that to me is a continuation of pandering to the left on these kind of issues and they don't care until they get in trouble and then try to back out of it. not that much younger ago when you look at when the tweets were made. this is not ooh, i was in another lifetime. this was pretty recent. look, in a week in which there is monumental things going on, this is one in which the biden administration has had so much trouble with communication with basically americans to now have to deal with this on debate week, again in is self-inflicted wound here. >> harris: i just ask what they are grasping for. if it's young voters, this is insulting. young people can tell the difference between what they see and read and what is in their
8:09 am
social media feeds and wants to separate from. he can't completely become another person. it's not how this works. it is interesting they would meier themselves down with cleanup on aisle seven when the president is getting ready for a debate. voters of president biden and the democratic party thought were locked up for them are no longer a safe bet. recent fox polling shows fewer than half of hispanic voters approve of the job joe biden is doing. opinion piece in the "los angeles times" is arguing democrats grew too reliant on a demographic newer to the country and more spanish speaking than latinos overall. it led a generation of political operatives to believe the growing latino vote would eventually turn texas and florida blue. democrats also clung to the belief that latino voters identified with the immigration experience and targeted through spanish television ads. the strategy was not backed by
8:10 am
much evidence or effective at motivating latino voters. donald trump here with this. >> when he does a rally chanting usa. these are patriots and people that love their country. they want to turn things around. watch a joe biden rally. is anyone chanting usa, usa? >> some of the brothers we see celebrating trump in a lot of ways donald trump is i should say for a lot of people donald trump is the most crystal clear example of the american dream. he is somebody who says whatever he wants and he is only stronger because of it >> harris: imagine that. he has still got a gag order on him. some voters are seeing this president as someone who can say whatever he wants. that's part of the american dream. you heard from that young man. you can talk to many voters. we do. what the fox news polling is
8:11 am
showing. 73% support for biden among black voters. that's a steep drop from 2020 when he won 91% of the black vote. what happened? this isn't good news for the president when it comes to young voters. 60% say they disapprove of his job performance. wow. you know, when you look at this, doug, i want to go to you first just to talk about what happened? what is the erosion point that you see in the last three plus years? >> i think what you're seeing is the difference between administration that seems to care about everything else except that base when you say that. i asked pollsters about this. when i saw the polls coming out in new york and saw the number saying demographic. issues like immigration, crime in the cities, things moved from the border to really mainstream
8:12 am
america. they are starting to see that folks coming here doing it the wrong way illegally coming here, we see the crime with some of the murders and stuff we saw in georgia and other places look. we're americans. we did it the right way and now we're seeing it come to the doorstep and seeing it differently. >> harris: it's not clear where the voters go. it doesn't automatically mean that black and latino voters are just completely disenchanted by biden will vote for donald trump. what it could mean is they'll think about it. some of them will do the one thing that we've never want to see happen in america. they will sit. they won't even exercise their right to vote and that means biden broke something in this country. he has to fix it for everybody else. you can't leave it such that young people are outside the process because of your bad policies. >> i agree with you and doug. reality of it is the american people have been put through the
8:13 am
wringer. the worst global pandemic. let's move on. >> harris: the high inflation has been since the pandemic. give people credit. those people who got ill and stroked and survive and now vote based on how they're experiencing a current presidency. give them some credit. >> i am giving them credit and they give president biden credit. inflation was 9% and down to 3%. >> harris: you realize he inherited 1.4 and didn't have a pandemic in the middle of that. by may 11th the president told us the pandemic was over. >> 16% unemployment rate in black america and now it is down to less than 5% is what joe biden's record is. the poll is moving forward in a positive direction. i know we can debate this but you can't debate the fact that joe biden, when they talk about the bipartisan infrastructure bill, the chips act, pack act for veterans he delivered for
8:14 am
the american people and setting in now in economic policy and why the economy is growing. the envy of the world. it is. >> the sad part about that is patrick none of what you said hasn't done. build back better is not building or better. this has not been done. >> harris: all right. gentlemen, thank you. i will bring you back as soon as we possibly can on a different day. great debate. thank you. let's all of us together tune in to fox news democracy 24 special coverage of the cnn presidential debate simulcast. our coverage begins thursday june 27th at 8:00 p.m. eastern. as patrick murphy just said the world is watching us. the world is going to be watching those men on thursday as you can imagine. [crowd chanting] >> harris: one grassroots group is shouting out.
8:15 am
they are very upset that liberal manhattan district attorney alvin bragg dropped charges against nearly all the people involved in a violent anti-israel jewish hate riot. remember that on the campus of columbia university? plus former president donald trump's attorneys are back in court right now and they are fighting to get classified documents charges tossed out. paul mauro on all of it. plus more in "focus" next. hey, paul. there's an old saying in the navy that the toughest job in the navy is a navy wife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. the newday 100 loan allows you to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. so if you're in a situation where you need some help financially, give us a call. with so many choices on booking.com

8:17 am
8:18 am
8:19 am
8:20 am
>> harris: all right, so we're looking at that picture. it's not the clearest it could be but we can sort of see inside of it here. we're taking a look inside a
8:21 am
courtroom right now and the illegal immigrant murder suspect is appearing in court. and, you know, we've had several situations happen in the last few days so we're watching these very closely, and as we learn more on this situation, we'll bring it to you. we're following this and so we'll bring you more info in a moment. stand by. right now former president trump's attorneys are back in court on that classified documents case and they are continuing their fight to get all the charges dismissed against trump. during friday's hearing both sides agreed or argued over the legality of special counsel jack smith's appointment. they didn't agree on anything. smith is in the courtroom and talking more on that issue today. a gag order that prosecutors have requested for donald trump. this would be on top of the one he already has in the case that's already wrapped up here in new york city. sentencing is july 11th and the judge has chosen in the new york
8:22 am
city case to keep trump under the gag order including next week's or this week's debate. in a hearing tomorrow, trump's team is expected to argue the 2022 mar-a-lago raid was illegal and all of the evidence from it should be tossed out. msnbc legal analyst with some snark for the judge, presiding over this case. watch. >> stay in your lane. yes, not only has the issue of whether the special counsel comports with the structures of constitutional law. that is settled and addressed in multiple courts. settled. we don't have to rehash that. if this were an actual issue it would be decided by the supreme court. not by a district court judge in fort pierce, florida. >> harris: paul mauro is here, retired nypd inspector and attorney. another state where special counsel jack smith and a whole host of others would like to see donald trump under a gag order.
8:23 am
likely not going to get it at this point with this judge. but what do you think they accomplish? can they get the case tossed against the classified documents against president trump. >> it is not like an outlier case that this woman seems to believe and something occurring in fort pierce, florida makes it a lesser case is a little indication of where she is coming from. this is a serious constitutional issue related to separation of powers. realistically a special prosecutor, because that prosecutor is a superior officer of the government, constitutionally has to be appointed by the president and confirmed under advice and consent of the senate or the second way is by statute. in this case you have neither. it is a hole in our system that has to be repaired that has been kicked along. there was a law that seemed to apply and expired. don't have the color of that anymore. strangely, this case punches even above the weight of the
8:24 am
donald trump status. this is a constitutional issue that will affect things going forward. >> harris: talk to me about those situations where they go to a person's house and start collecting evidence. how is this case different than maybe any other situation like that? >> concerning that, it is not. realistically once you get the judge to approve a search warrant you execute the search warrant and that's it. you are talking about the gag order, right? where donald trump is saying hey, they showed up, locked and loaded to come into my house. this was terrible. the f.b.i. is saying no, no, no, that's standard procedure and the government wants donald trump essentially to stop saying that. here is the deal. this is different than some of the gag order issues that were raised in new york. in new york the complaint was that he was talking about -- trump was talking about witnesses and some cases family members of the judge, etc. here he is talking about the government. there is no higher bar that you have to overcome in our system than first amendment protected
8:25 am
speech relative to the government. that's why it is there. >> harris: otherwise you turn into russia or iran. i get it. by the way, they want to argue all the evidence in the mar-a-lago raid was illegal. part of their argument. outrage continues after alvin bragg soft on crime let 31 of the violent anti-israel rioters off the hook. those people -- you watched it live. they were storming and occupying columbia's hamilton hall in april. the school year was still going on. today activist group in jew hatred spoke out and they did so outside alvin bragg's office. columbia student from that group said this. >> d.a. bragg's decision to drop 31 of the 46 cases against these anarchists is not just a failure of the justice system. it is a betrayal of the safety and trust of all new yorkers like myself. the lack of sufficient video
8:26 am
evidence and the protestors masked faces is not an excuse. by dropping these charges d.a. bragg sends a dangerous message that acts of aggression, anti-semitism and intimidation will be tolerated in our city. >> harris: he gets it. >> this makes my head spin. a couple of things. two, first of all, if the necessity of having perfect video was the bar for prosecuting cases like this in the past, what did we do -- currently, what did we do in the past before we had body worn cameras and video everywhere on the street and in schools and buildings? if that's now a requirement, what did we do hundreds of years before that? it doesn't hold water. secondly, the idea you drop the charges because it is a first-time offender doesn't hold water. generally if it's a first-time offender you go through with the case but they don't take a heavy hit essentially. but you don't just say your
8:27 am
first time we'll cut the charges. the thing that they are using is what can't identify them. they were given sum onsed the seen and all got trespass summons. we got their names. the idea we don't know who they are. of course we do. they should have charged heavily. misdemeanor trespass what they should have charged would have gotten them fingerprints and photographs and you would have the whole story and arrest sheet. they didn't do that. it wreaks of a deal. >> harris: if there was ever an opportunity to tie some of those people outside the campus and went on that campus and we know they went from place to place across the country because the tents had a uniformty about them and the chants they were teaching the students, right? there were some people potentially who would have been involved at that university and others. you want a list of people to at least say are they committing similar crimes in other places? to me it is basic prosecutorial work. >> it is how you gather
8:28 am
intelligence. he did this here and this in seattle and here is portland and the money came from crypto from overseas we have something bigger. we aren't getting that because they're killing it in the cradle. >> harris: a lot going on. the same protest with new crazy. climate activists disrupted a pro golf tournament this time. the crowd was cheering when police hauled them away in handcuffs. of course because they want the glory and the flex of putting this all over social media. look at us, we're the victims, blah, blah, blah. one of the illegal immigrants charged in the murder of a 12-year-old girl is in court this morning and tried to show you some pictures out of houston live in the court right now. they are a little blurry but critics say president biden's border crisis and his policies mean more horrifying stories like the one we're covering. look at her. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. -ugh. -here, i'll take that. woo hoo! ensure max protein,

>> harris: you can get angry. most are crying over this one. all of them. president biden's border crisis is actually responsible now. this little girl, 12-year-old jocelyn nun gary in houston should be with us. two illegal immigrants from venezuela face murder charges. one is in court. we were showing you the pictures of that going on amoment ago. we have a live feed inside the courtroom and may pop it back up. we can't hear what they are saying but we can see it. authorities caught both suspects at the border near el paso, texas and gave them court dates and set them free. catch and release. you familiar. they're among several illegal immigrants accused of crimes from texas, maryland and new york city. far from the border. all states are border states now. senator lindsey graham spoke after biden announced sweeping
8:35 am
new immigration relief just last week. >> from the average americans' point of view what biden did is a disaster. took a began of cast lien and poured it on a fire. he gave 500,000 people legal status calling it parole in place. there is nothing in our law. he is the most lawless president ever on immigration. >> harris: i'm glad biden is not in charge of the prisons. parole in place? okay. this is a head scratcher, too. democrats are blaming republicans. >> there have been more than 6.9 million apprehensions at the southern border thus far in biden's term. there were just over 2 million in donald trump's entire term. >> president biden asked congress both for the resources and for comprehensive immigration reform. the republicans blocked it, blocked it, blocked it. the president is doing what he can with the resources available
8:36 am
to him. >> harris: she is not paying attention. he flipped trump's policies and is too chicken to put them back. nate foye is in houston. nate. >> harris, you mentioned there is a lot of anger and sadness across the country and certainly a lot of that in this courtroom to my left right now. while we were in commercial break one of the two illegal migrants charged with murdering the the 12-year-old girl walked into the courtroom before judge josh hill. also in the courtroom jocelyn's family. including her mother feet away from one of the two men accused of murdering her 12-year-old daughter. prosecutors requested a $1 million bond for each of the capital murder suspects. 26-year-old ramos is the one in court now and been in custody since thursday. border patrol agents in el paso arrested and released him just three weeks before jocelyn's murder. prosecutors say the two illegal
8:37 am
migrants lured the 12-year-old girl from a nearby convenience store to a bridge where they are accused of strangling her and leaving her body in a creek. if a sexual assault happened the case would fall under the death penalty in texas. hundreds gathered for a vigil over the weekend including the houston mayor and jocelyn's mother who said this to the crowd: >> that they receive worse than what my daughter. she deserves to live and breathe every single day. i was looking forward to see how beautiful she was going to grow up to be. >> right now let's take another live look from inside the courtroom, harris. the judge in this case josh hill, many will be watching what he does today in setting a bond. he has received a lot of criticism for being soft on crime and setting low bonds. as for what is coming next,
8:38 am
jocelyn's funeral will happen on thursday and then after today's hearing wraps up the district attorney's office will meet with jocelyn's family to explain the process moving forward and after that a news conference. unclear if jocelyn's family will be part of this news conference. we'll hear from the district attorney's office. >> harris: imagine being that mom. you want to look the monsters who took your baby away in the eye. imagine being that mom just a few feet away from the suspect in the middle of those two attorneys there in front of the judge. we do not have audio on this feed and telling our audience we have a better picture. a little while ago i was so blurry you couldn't tell what it was. a live feed and a few feet from where you see the illegal immigrant who crossed into this country and first broke our laws that way is now up on murder and rape charges of a 12-year-old girl. say her name today, jocelyn.
8:39 am
nate, thank you. in "focus" now former acting ice director and served as u.s. border patrol chief and deputy commissioner. you know, first of all, welcome to the program as we watch this. it is just sickening. i want to know your top line thoughts on where we are with keeping america safe especially our children. >> well, this poor girl, jocelyn, our hearts go out to her friends and family, all of her loved ones. she deserved better. she deserved beter than a border that is complete chaos and deserved better leadership in the white house that says there wasn't a crisis at the border . somebody else broke it and that he tried and tried and needed congress's help and gave 500,000 people the effect of amnesty. so her family and the people of houston, the rest of us, all of america deserve better leadership than we are getting out of the white house as it relates to a border that is completely out of control and yeah, it's bad at the board are and bad for the front line and
8:40 am
their families and bad, you know, in the region around mexico, but it is much worse for that family today. i can only pray those prosecutors do the best they can and the jury that eventually gets seated for these cases has discernment and puts these people away for the long time. that's what they deserve. >> harris: i wanted to ask you and grateful for the opportunity now to get to this point. i thought that there were people who were always part of government irrespective of their politics who would do the right thing. what is really going on with mayorkas, the dhs secretary? is he feeling pressure from the white house? i want to get into it now because republicans tried to impeach him and everything to get him out of the job and part of what's gotten here. he has driven us into a ditch. >> i truly don't know what is in his heart. i can tell you the work that i previously did with him and i know him as family man and as a father of at least one daughter, that he cares about humanity and his own background as an
8:41 am
immigrant like my own. but i don't understand what direction he takes from the white house that allows him to know exactly how to solve this problem but yet continues to drive down a road that puts us into the worst border surge than we've ever seen. yeah, they made some adjustments. they did this amnesty rule that allows us to expel people and apparently there is a 25% decrease. we're still in record territory. the cartels are still in control. we still have an out of control fentanyl problem, human trafficking, more deaths at the border, more terrorist-related individuals. i don't know what he is thinking. i can tell you that i couldn't be in the chair that he sits right now because there is no way that i could allow the white house to set the agenda that is really destroying what happens at the board are and all the control we have and has for the last three plus years. now it is affecting every city and town in america. >> harris: absolutely. ron, thank you for the
8:42 am
transparency there. i struggle and want to know where are the good people who care on this issue? but the white house is in charge, as you just laid out. you couldn't do it but some people could take his direction. critics continue to go after far left congresswoman jayapal for her disgusting reaction to comments from joy reid. look at this. >> our banner said soon biden announces legal protections for undocumented and cnn bideer biden announced. here is fox banner. migrant arrested for 13-year-old victim. >> that's part of the problem. a lot of fear mongering. >> harris: they laughed at that. homeland security committee chairman mark green fold the "new york post" unfortunately ms. jayapal's heartless response to the tragedies represent how many on the left including in washington view those impacted
8:43 am
by the open borders. they don't view them as humans apparently, ron. >> yeah, i don't know where her constituency is. i think it is probably california. what is going on here? how could she laugh in the face of such things? i think jocelyn's mother is laughing about what's going on right now? and for her to pretend this isn't a problem and nothing full well exactly what needs to be done to give resources to the border, to reform asylum, to give the president direction on making this problem smaller and she is going to laugh about it? the pinnacle of journalism on the other network, like it is a big joke and like it isn't a real problem. it's a real problem for the men and women who work hard in the country and waiting in line to get the green cards and waiting in line to get their visas for years and years paying the fees and repaying the fees, getting fingerprints, all the things they have to do. and she just could care less about what goes on at the border. >> harris: i think you make a good point.
8:44 am
it doesn't matter what the jurisdiction is. we are americans together and the policies affect all of us. it is not just a border problem anymore by far. ron, great to talk with you. thank you. >> thank you. >> harris: criticism is pouring in for liberal congressman jamal bowman. he is actually part of that so-called squad. what he did over the weekend at a rally is leaving him in a tough spot and the primary challenge is already hot for him. his opponent is up by 17 points and he does this. >> we are going to show [bleep] apec the power of the mother [bleep] south bronx. >> harris: i don't know if our [bleep] was long enough on the last one. you caught what he was putting down. f bombs and more. he was launching insults at a pro-israel group there.
8:45 am
alexandria ocasio-cortez or the one i call the aoc, was in on the act, too. she took down her scrunchy and girl, baby girl, mary kathryn hamm in "focus" next.
8:46 am
adas to go over the charges in this case. thank you. >> all right. good afternoon, everyone. i'll start off with the charges for the attempted murder of police for which there are two cases. we have reviewed the evidence in this case, the investigation and the charges that we feel appropriate at this time and understand that we have the right to amend at any point if additional charges are warranted. at this time we've charged this defendant with two counts of
8:47 am

i will turn it over to mr. wainwright with respect to the bail in this case. >> thank you. >> harris: the first person we heard from was the philadelphia district attorney larry crassner and we heard some of the charges against the suspect. they haven't identified the police officer yet. they call him a dad. he is in critical condition right now. he was shot in philly over the weekend. he is 31 years old and been with the force for six years. so as a point of privacy, we will wait until they release more information on this police officer, but in the meanwhile the suspect has been charged and you heard some of the charges there against that man. we pray for this police officer and his family and that he would make a complete recovery. far left new york democrat bowman should be ashamed of himself. he brought out some star power at a rally in the bronx saturday and fellow squad member alexandria ocasio-cortez joined him ahead of tomorrow's
8:49 am
congressional primary vote. he needs help because his democrat primary challenger is stepping on him. the "new york post" had two words for it. you see it on your screen. the headline goon squad. take a look at why they say that. ♪ [cheers and applause] >> [bleep], [bleep], [bleep]. we are going to show apec is
8:50 am
power of the [bleep] south bronx. people ask me why i got a foul mouth. what am i supposed to do? you coming after me. we are going to show them who the [bleep] we are. cease-fire now, cease-fire now, cease-fire now. >> harris: that guy should walk around with a t-shirt that says language disclaimer. that was jamal bowman. remember him? he pulled the fire alarm when he wanted to try to stop a vote on the house floor? then he faced charges for it and paid $1 thousand and apologized so he could make it all go away. bowman may indeed need some help. a recent head-to-head poll finds him 17 point behind his centrist challenger george latimer with this to say. >> i am not a bombastic person. you won't get me to say those outrageous things. you can't get lost in the rhetoric and i hear about those
8:51 am
bread and butter issues and affordability and people want a better life for their children. i hear about them wanting to see the federal government get down to some performance. >> harris: mary kathryn hamm, fox news contributor is in "focus" today. great to have you. first of all, jamal bowman seems to have a language problem. >> it looks like that. this is not the behavior of a campaign that is winning quite clearly. it looks like desperation and a last-ditch effort to boost the base. unfortunately what that means with this particular base is going out and yelling about apec, ignoring anti-semitism and assaults in the street on jewish new yorkers and rallying a lot of hamas apologists and supporters to your cause. the hope to boost the base to move on and beat latimer. voters at this point, because they have so many immediate
8:52 am
inflation and crime concerns, they want somebody who is not doing this. they are looking for maybe something a little more normal and i would ask the viewers to judge between latimer and bowman's performance, which would they find more credible? a lot of voters are responding to latimer, looks like something i would like instead of this. since bowman is about to lose his job maybe this is an audition for academia. i looks perfect for that. you know what? i thought two things when i saw this. he is trying for yet another term and a gentleman is beating him by 17 points. i don't know if you make that up by aoc showing up. she takes her hair down and lets it fly in the wind, you know, rips the scrunchy out. everybody is rapping. that's fine for a concert. as you pointed out, the real issues that constituency wants. my first thought was is that what they think appeals to young voters who they are having a problem with for joe biden? i don't know if he is helping the president.
8:53 am
the other thing i thought about, too, was well, is this really -- is this really the man who pulled the fire alarm? does he care about anybody but himself? and do you actually vote for him again? >> i think the rally looks a little try hard frankly. i don't know how much it works with the younger generation. it will work on the margins to some extent. jamal bow man has had a rough six month censored in december. more moderate democrats say we can't put up with this. he called news of sexual vie owns on october 7th propaganda and had to apologize. not a good record and rational and right that voters are responding to it in this way and giving him a 17-point drag at this point. >> harris: i see some irony that part of aoc's -- part of the constituency here for them is the bronx. of course, former president
8:54 am
trump went to the south bronx and it looked so different and i just -- i don't know, i think it is pretty night and day if young democrats are taking a look at who wants to lead in this. they have some interesting choices now. everybody in the bronx is sick and tired. >> it can be seen like more of a class divide. if they feel like bowman and aoc who play the part of speaking to the working class, aren't speaking to the issues of the working class but talking to columbia students and their concerns, then in fact they will turn against those folks eventually or will stay home. >> harris: quickly, another crazy climate protests yesterday. activists stormed the green in connecticut at the travelers championship. let's watch. colored powder before security
8:55 am
pinned them down. your thoughts on this. >> first of all i get they probably had to do it for a costume for disguise but how much hate will they get from fellow climate activists for wearing polo shirts and caps at the golf event. it is far off from the usual uniform. however, look, at a pga event, that's not where you will get gentle parenting of the environ mentheal -- we have to stop gentle parenting them. they are doing vandalism and art and people in some cases and historic artifacts at times and they are messing up these events. this is not free speech. it is a clear line. you can have an event outside of pga tournament where you have signs and you exercise your free speech. this is not that. they should be tackled and should be arrested. >> harris: mary kathryn, i hope you will come back any time. parenting gently is what we're doing with the activists.
8:56 am
>> we can't do that anymore. >> harris: "outnumbered" is next. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. they're not looking for a handout. they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. veteran homeowners, need cash? call newday usa. i called and got $60,300. you can take out $70,000 or more with a newday100 cash out loan. with so many choices on booking.com there are so many tina feys i could be. so i hired body doubles. 30,000 followers tina in a boutique hotel. or 30,000 steps tina in a mountain cabin. ooh! booking.com
