bit, your show, "alveda king's house," celebrating legacy. through food and faith. streaming today, on foxnation.com. i want to thank everybody for watching the first "faulkner focus." i will see you each day during the week at this time. right now, keep it right here. you know what's about to happen. ♪ ♪ >> harris: we begin with a fresh look, thousands of migrants from honduras and el salvador making their way to guatemala in a caravan and headed for the united states. soldiers there trying to hold back that caravan, which is posing an early challenge for the incoming biden administration and its plans to overhaul our immigration system. an unnamed biden official reportedly told nbc news the migrants should not expect to come into the united states right away.

they need to turn back. but the acting customs and border protection commissioner says that kind of warning would have been helpful, say, a few weeks ago. >> it is a little also was a little, little also obsolete. the rhetoric out there to open border strategies, that's what's driving this. they are using whatsapp and the organizers of these caravans have been very clear, the reason was, that this is happening right now, is because of the perception that our borders are going to be open under the biden administration. unfortunately, in this case, their correct. >> harris: biden is preparing to quickly rollback many of president trump's immigration policies. here is a slam which includes permanent residency for 11 million migrants inside america. no significant boost to border security, shutting down construction of the border wall, ending the u.s. travel ban on muslim majority countries, increasing the cap on refugees

from 15000 to 120000, ending the remain in mexico policy, and restoring the obama-era.gov program. you are now watching "outnumbered." kennedy, fox business anchor dagen mcdowell, "town hall" editor and fox news contributor katie pavlich, and joining us in the center seat on the virtual couch, host of "one nation" on fox nation and fox's clinical analyst, learns jones. when you look at those pictures, it's like somebody turned on the light and says, "all of you standing in the door, act we have to get is one doorway as fast as you can." other countries between us and them are fighting to push them back. what a scene. >> lawrence: definitely. harris, congratulations on your new show. >> harris: thank you. >> lawrence: i don't know what people expected when you had the rhetoric coming from the now vice president -- i'm sorry, president-elect, essentially encouraging people to do

justice. it's no secret, i've said this before, both political parties could solve this issue. neither one of them want to solve this issue because they would prefer to run on this in the next election. you listed out with the president-elect plans on doing when he is sworn in, and i agree that something needs to be done, but i would talk to him and say, "read the room, man." we played some sound in the beginning of the show on "fox & friends," where these guys said, "look, as soon as we get here, we want to go back to work." we are dealing with a crisis right here at home of american citizens that want to go back to work. so, is this really the time? is the country really receptive to any immigration reform right now where they are not going back to her? another thing before we move on, the border security aspect of this, i do find it kind of

strange that this new income it did administration is saying, "we're done with the fencing, with the wall narrative." i think it's premature and i think it's immature, because joe biden was once for border fencing. when president trump changed it to the wall, then he was against it. but it's really the same thing, so they are going to have to leave this message in the middle of a pandemic, with these people coming across wanting to work while americans are at home wanting to work, as well. >> harris: what you say, too, is so interesting, charles. you're right, it's simply the nomenclature that got such disagreement. and, kennedy, as we look at this, call it a wall, call it a fence, there were miles and miles of it before president trump and now you've got miles and miles and miles of people coming vertically from the south. >> kennedy: you do. if this is what the biden administration is going to look like, if this is the chaos

that's going to nc every time there is an implied policy, we are in for a pretty disastrous four years. we are in the middle of a pandemic. this is not just a public health crisis. people are getting sick and dying. easy thousands and thousands of people pressed up against each other, and that looks like a real bad super-spreader firehose. i respect that people want to work, i respect that immigrant communities tend to have lower crime, and there are people who are hurting in different countries who have been oppressed by these narco terrorist regimes. part of that is because of our policy on drug legalization in this country. that might change. but our immigration system is so confusing, and it is so broken, and it is not just a matter of allowing a bunch of people in. they really, truly have to

reform immigration with some pretty major legislation. they should have done that instead of obamacare in 2009. i've said that for years. now maybe this administration will have the opportunity to do that. i'm not completely confident in that, but if this is biden's immigration policy, it's going to be a long, long stretch, won't it? >> harris: lawrence, forgive me for calling you by a different name. you're always great no matter what we call you. [laughs] as we look at these pictures, it's almost like looking at file footage from several years ago. remember the onslaught, the documentation of children as they came across our borders? 90,000 of them that summer a few years ago under the obama administration? and people saying, "oh, my gosh, they could be caravans." and then there were. >> katie: yeah, we are back in 2014 when the obama administration build the infamous cages now that we have heard so much about it, that the

trump administration got blamed for. to kennedy's point about this covid issue, and the pandemic, we are in a pandemic. and the department of homeland security and border patrol do not have the resources to test all these people when they do come across the border, in these detention facilities. remember those photos from 2014 and beyond of these detention facilities being completely jam-packed full, and border patrol agents talking about a number of other diseases they were dealing with, and that was when we weren't in a pandemic. it's amazing to watch the biden administration say they are going to tear down the 450 miles of border while they put up there when they have people on the screen fighting against the guatemalan military, and tear down the wall in our southern border to prevent that. last thing i would say is people always try to make the humanitarian argument here. i understand that, but let's not forget that all these people are coming and none of them are getting here without human

smugglers who have a very, very bad intention of treating people horribly along the way. so this is not a safe journey, and when he turned the spigot back on and you have all these magnets, you're putting these people in a position where they think it's a good idea to make the journey, and it's very dangerous for them. >> harris: dagen, i think two things and i see this. one, the politics of it all. is this going to drive those more in the middle blue dog democrats to say, "i don't want to be in a party that does the steaming beings, that turns on the spigot," as katie has eloquently put it, and puts his people in danger? the other it to say about national security? >> dagen: right, will they quarantine these individuals if they make it across the border? joe biden pandered to the left on the campaign trail. remember, the federal health care for all illegal immigrants. get rid of the remain in mexico policy president trump put in place, that was going to happen

on day one, and now they'll have to walk back that time frame. he set up himself and his administration and the party, talking about allowing illegal immigrants into this country. this is what happens. it's not just the pandemic, it's a health issue where our hospitals, our health care system, are completely overrun. strained and maxed out. some of these border communities can't handle this influx of people even if they did make it into the united states. secondly, there are 18.5 million people in december that were collecting some form of unemployment. jobs are scarce if not nonexistent in many industries, particularly leisure and hospitality. so joe biden is the president of the united states, he needs to lead for the people who are here, and here illegally, are out of work, who are struggling financially. of course, he's got a policy to

do that, but he's got to balance his immigration policy with what helps americans who are here legally. >> harris: lett, el paso, texas, was rocking a positivity rate above 50%, and has been for quite some time, struggling mightily, more than some pockets in the country in total. it is frightening, and now you're asking those municipalities on the border, as you just pointed out, dagen, to take in more of the struggle that we are already in in the pandemic. it is mind-blowing. all right, we'll get to this. president-elect joe biden is planning to start reversing president trump's policies right out of the gate with a blitz of executive orders. ahead, why a top g.o.p. senator warns biden is pushing the most aggressive socialized policy effort in history. plus, unprecedented security and concerns about a possible insider attack in washington, d.c., ahead of the inauguration. the latest on preparations in the nation's capital. and, a left-wing activist

>> kennedy: this is a fox news alert, unprecedented security at our nation's capital ahead of inauguration day, and foxes has learned defense officials are concerned about a possible

insider attack from u.s. service members deployed to d.c. and are now venting all 25,000 national guard troops in the city. get this, washington now has more u.s. troops in afghanistan, iraq, and syria combined, as the nation's capital is turned into a secure military zone, officert states providing backup for d.c. police, hundreds of fbi agents also expected to be on the ground, as well. security has also been beefed up at state capitols across the country after warnings of possible violent marches. so far no reports of any major problems. what do you think about this, lawrence jones? this seems like very odd intel. how credible is it, the idea that deployed national guard troops would somehow be plotting an internal revolution? >> well, it seems that if you track down the report, what i've been able to gather so far, the question was asked of the apa, the ap asked that question.

it wasn't the statement to the press. they asked this question. so we don't know whether this even started. also there are some reports about a month ago, the biden team wanted to bring in joe biden's folks into the secret service, they used to protect him and his vice president. there seems to be a lot of things being suggested before. dan bongino protected president obama for years and he does good with his politics, so i don't think there's anything to this theory from my point of view of these people trying to go against their country and their next president. what happened on the capitol two weeks ago almost was scary. it should be taken seriously. i think this is a little bit more than we want. it seems to me the real problem was a security failure based on intelligence. this is not the first time.

me and harris were on the air in 2015, in garland, texas, my hometown, when the fbi was kicked off, there was an an undr coverage on the ground, they still did a piss-poor job. we can go on and on about people supposedly on watch lists, but get a warrant, arrest them, to them through the process. there are a couple of things to, they need to start coining better. follow up on these leads, and i would say that they shouldn't be under congress, they should be under homeland security, so they can have the resources they need to do their job. a lot of security failures, a lot of noncommunication going on as usual, with government bureaucracy. >> it is an unreal communication failure, harris. you have the capital police report that said be very careful about some of the groups that are going to attend president trump's rally, because they may be intent on disrupting congress.

i don't know why that intelligence was either, a, kept secret, or b, was largely ignored. because the capital police only protect the capitol. but the marchers and protesters and rioters had to get from the president's speech to the capitol, and how many law-enforcement agencies could they have interfaced with who apparently didn't know that information? >> harris: well, roll the tape and you can see it. i was on the air as they were walking over there. it started at about a quarter after 1:00 p.m. eastern. there they were walking, you could watch the journey. how amended the interface with connect roll the tape back, turn up the audio. i mean, they didn't get the word, and lawrence just said it, it has been on the head. what is congress in charge of this and so much? they have such a low approval rating, they didn't get that from over performing. [laughs] i'm seriously wondering, why are they under dhs? i just have a lot of questions.

the heart of all that is, did any of what they are doing even keep themselves safe? >> kennedy: no, unfortunately. that is one of the great tragedies here. dagen, i look at some of these pictures from the capitol, and it is hard to believe. it is hard to make sense of the thousands and thousands of soldiers, essentially, who are at the capitol. can we unring this bell? >> dagen: i want to point out the show of force was called a called abhorrent and dangerous when senator tom cotton suggested essentially this last summer as a way to combat the rioting, looting, and destruction of businesses and livelihoods, and cities that were being burnt across the nation. remember, he rode in "the new york times" about at least suggesting the authorization of troops for the

military he rode about one thing above all else will be stored into our streets, an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain, and ultimately deter lawbreakers. what happened is senator tom cotton was vilified for it, excoriated, and "the new york times" opinion editor had to resign over it. outrage i guess depends on who you are policing. >> kennedy: yeah, there seems to be a different way of policing different protesters. because if you agree with the protesters, you want to defund the police. if you are opposed to the protesters, you want a full militarized very impressive show of force. quickly, katie. >> katie: i just want to get back to the original point of the story in that this narrative about this insider attack, god forbid, is coming from the media. you have the secretary of the army saying there is potential for an attack like that, but

nobody in terms of who they are talking to in the officials on the ground here have reported anything out of the ordinary. so it's a very dangerous thing for people to be running with without a lot of evidence. but also this broader view of what's happening in d.c., and how many troops are in town. it's not just about the threats from inauguration, for inauguration day, and they run on the capitol. it's actually show for us for the entire world. let's not forget that our adversaries are watching the capitol get overrun. even after 9/11, all the money we spent, the capitol is clearly not fortified. this is also about standing up and saying the capitol of the united states of america can be protected by a military comment which is why there's an armed coast guard ship on the river, but this is not just about the domestics. it's about making sure our adversaries know that, yeah, we saw you watching two weeks ago and we will you to know that we can protect our capitol. >> kennedy: interesting. as republicans won that president-elect biden is letting

the far left take the wheel, the "los angeles times" writes that his plan appears to be "make america california again." with its homeless problems and moved to become its own governor, is that really in then team's best model for the country? >> i think we are going to have come in the first hundred days, by the biden administration, and those aggressive socialized policy effort in the history of the country. ♪ ♪

institute a mask mandate on federal property and during interstate travel, and to expand access to health care paid republican senator lindsey graham is warning the biden agenda leans way too far to the left. >> i'm really worried he's going to stand up to the radical left on anything. i think we are going to have in the first 100 days, by the biden administration, the most aggressive socialized policy effort in the history of the country. >> harris: meanwhile, the "los angeles times" is asking if joe biden's agenda will "make america california again." the paper answers yes. that appears to be the case, with his vp, the now former california senator kamala harris, just one way he seems to be leading on the golden state for inspiration and setting its progressive agenda. this, as a surge in covid cases, a-frame social safety net, and raging wildfires are feeling an exodus of people. in fact, it's interesting,

katie, because when you look at our home state of arizona and others at west, you see people kind of migrate out of california and go east. >> katie: and they keep voting for the same policies that they decided to leave, which is why i think that state legislators should buy people from voting for six years. that way you have to live in the state you're moving to and decide if you like the culture that are not. >> harris: oh, that's interesting. >> katie: a full senate term. you see this max exodus from places like california, new york, new jersey, to read states that have less invasive policies on a whole host of issues, whether that's the economy or covid-19 restrictions. this idea that we want to make the rest of the country like california when they are trying to recall the governor there for a whole host of reasons is not a good idea. in terms of biden's executive orders, every president does them. he lives with the executive order and they can be -- your policies can be erased pretty easily by the next president.

let's not forget that the obama administration lost more cases at the supreme court than any other administration due to president obama's executive orders not holding up to constitutional scrutiny. we will see how it goes from the white house. of course there are big questions about whether the senate is going to move forward with their impeachment of the current president or whether they will get started on joe biden's agenda, which is going to be more aggressive with his pen if they decide to go through with that. >> harris: that's interesting. jonathan turley joined me last hour, he said that would absolutely be a disastrous idea for the country and particularly the republican party. you know, lawrence, i'm just wondering what kind of delicious additives they want us to spread on our bread coming from california. i love the beaches, but the policy additives, are they going to be tasty? >> lawrence: most of those folks are going back to my home state of texas, so i'm not sure... >> harris: that's happening,

too. >> lawrence: i'm not sure texans would agree with "make america california." i think most of the country would probably reject that. to katie's point, i think that conservatives and republicans are going to have a lot of stuff to swallow right now when it comes to this new administration. they lost, so they should remember this feeling and make sure it doesn't happen again. elections do have consequences. there is a slim majority in both houses, and of course the republicans gained a lot of seats when it comes to the house, but they are going to govern by the pen and change the rules and do whatever benefits their cause, because they have a radical progressive base that is going to hold them accountable. many of these members on the left, if they do not go with this liberal agenda, they will be primaried and they've had great success. cori bush is coming in, the

woman in new york that unseated angle, and a new seat in ohio that senator nina turner may as well get. so the squad has new members, republicans should remember this moment, a and fight like hell in the next election. it's only two years away. >> harris: an executive order blit kennedy, your thoughts? >> kennedy: i was not a fan of the executive orders under president obama and trump. i think it constitutes way too much power in the executive branch. i've had a problem with that for quite some time. i will say this about california, i love california. i spent the better part of my life in california. i love the spirit of california. i love the people there. i abhor the politics they are, and i think it is an awful place to look for inspiration. there are so many things that go wrong, and let's not forget the public sector union that have an

absolute stranglehold on the state in terms of labor and policy. if you remember, think was that bill 85 which sought to castrate the gig economy, because of about measure, and the people there and the voters and individuals there, they were able to undo that incredibly restrictive legislation. whatever hopes and glimmers of hope there are coming out of california, it has nothing to do with the politicians. don't forget, homelessness exploded under then mayor gavin newsom when he was in san francisco, and how it has spread throughout the state with absolutely nothing in sight to alleviate that crisis. >> harris: i know our own gianno caldwell spent some time out in california among the homeless. you talk about people who are hurting and the pandemic, they were hurting before. good points, kennedy. dagen, you're going to take it all away next. let's get to the break. after imposing strict lockdowns

that my argument to conservatives when they complain about big tech was to create something of their own. and they did that. now it seems like the big guys are trying to squash them. i don't know where to stand on that, but i do know that it's not fair, and it's going to be an uphill battle for them from a legal standpoint to make this case. i do think that something has to be done. >> dagen: kennedy, i tweeted this over the weekend. i would guess that at least some people inside amazon, apple, and google experience and "oh, crap," moment in last week. with the unplugging of parler, this all-powerful trinity revealed to the world that just a sliver, a peek at the havoc they can wreak on businesses. these are unchecked threats to speech and competition, and they stupidly let us see.

>> kennedy: that's a really good analysis, because it was incredibly clumsy, but also it casts parler as a victim. people who kind of thought that perhaps conservative speech was being silenced on these varied social media platforms now hear about parler and they wonder, "oh, my gosh, is this going to come back?" parler might be placing a new trail and might figure out a way to circumvent that trifecta, that stranglehold, and if they do, that could again be a road map for other companies in the future. we do need a proliferation of choices. we do need people's ideas in order to give voice to different points of view. because we are on a fast track to what has been called monoculture, and it's this cultural other half of a 1-party state. that is incredibly dangerous and

very, very un-american. >> dagen: essentially what we saw is, if they don't like you, apple, google, amazon, and facebook, that's about 90% of the internet, you throw in companies that wouldn't let you collect fees or do banking, their plea out of business. there's no way for you to exist on the internet in many instances. >> katie: yeah, and i think this is pretty simple. this is just holding big tech, twitter, accountable to their own standards. they say they don't want violence, and violent rhetoric on that platform. okay, well, his twitter feed is still up after he was arrested for being at the capitol and egging people on in that video. pretty violent it, if you take a look at it. not to mention he was arrested last summer by police in salt lake city for organizing a violent protest where somebody was shot. so this idea that twitter is saying they don't want this kind of behavior, or organizing on

the platform, that's fine, but you have to be able to hold yourself to your own standards, which they clearly have not been doing, because there's plenty of that from the left on their platform. >> dagen: i suspect -- and president trump talked about repealing the liability protections, you watch, the democrats now in power going use it for more censorship of conservative voices. people in europe are watching and they've been more aggressive at regulating technology companies. they could come after them. that's why that angela merkel comment about president trump being censored was so important to watch. more high-profile democrats now say the economy must reopen. that's democrats including new york governor andrew cuomo, that many of those same lawmakers were the ones pushing strict coronavirus lockdowns. what's behind the sudden change of tone? does it rhyme with "smiden?"

though. chicago mayor lori lightfoot also now pushing for bars and restaurants to reopen. this is a new study suggesting sleeping lockdowns may not have been the right path. "we do not question the role of all public health interventions were coordinated communications about the epidemic, but we fail to find an additional benefit of state home orders and business closures." there are also studies that have shown lockdowns saved countless lives. one report found 3.1 million new coronavirus deaths because of its restrictions. kennedy, we knew from governor, back in may and june that he had data that showed 60% of new coronavirus cases were happening in lockdown, and yet here we are, all these months later, all this sacrifice by business owners, businesses that will never reopen, and politically it is convenient for them to not open, now that joe biden will be inaugurated on wednesday.

>> kennedy: god, what a horrible thought that somehow governors in new york and california tanked their state's economy in order to curry favor with a democrat administration. what an awful thing. you walk around and you see all these businesses that have closed, you see the notes in the window thinking customers for years of patronage, and now they are shuttering for good. this type of mentality, the fact that this is new, that this just occurred to andrew cuomo, the idea that the people can't be trusted and therefore we have shut everything down? actually, people are very resourceful and people want to socialize, and they are willing to do that responsibly. you can have all those things happen simultaneously. it is practically criminal that he has waited this long to come to the light of free enterprise. >> katie: lawrence, we've seen this massive distinction between the way that new york and california have handled the pandemic versus states like georgia and florida.

in florida, for example, they been able to stay open while also combating this disease. i just can't help but think about all the people who have suffered, the workers at these restaurants, the small businesses that were owned by families for decades, and the fact that they are never coming back. if they did it for political reasons. >> lawrence: it's pretty disgusting when you think about it. the bottom line is you can do both things at once. you can combat the virus and still be safe, as well, and open it up and let people choose their own destiny. kennedy is right, it is borderline criminal what they did to people. for months i have been screaming, "give people a choice, give people a choice." why do we need a study to prove what their own contact tracing has been showing for months? >> harris: you know why they need to study. >> lawrence: exactly. >> harris: they got to find more ways to spend our money. >> lawrence: bingo. that's the problem.

book stories. i'm glad they are taking that. >> harris: lawrence? >> lawrence: as i always say, cancel culture is a wildfire you cannot contain. if you pour gasoline onto it, don't be surprised when it finally reaches you and you get burned. >> harris: out. dagen? >> dagen: the left is trying to push these businesses, to shame them and threaten them into shunning and silencing trump supporter's and conservatives. and every business, they are pushing them to fire people, even. every business needs to stand up for every american, otherwise, as lawrence said, eventually they'll come for you, too. >> harris: kennedy? >> kennedy: senator hawley should write a nice handwritten thank you note to simon & schuster, because this will increase his book sales

threefold, i predict. because now they've turned into a much bigger thing. this is a great marketing tool. use cancellations to your advantage, friends.
