tv   The Faulkner Focus  FOX News  March 16, 2021 8:00am-9:00am PDT

8:00 am
9th street. they have been shut down. they opened again. shut down again and today they're still standing, believe it or not. >> dana: i'm sure they're glad you are the main customer. everybody knows bill's name. "the faulkner focus" starts now. >> bill: see you later. >> harris: president biden is under fire as house republicans are going after him over his spiraling disaster at our southern border. i'm harris faulkner and you are in the "the faulkner focus". mccarthy and other republican members after touring a facility in texas yesterday are accusing president biden of slow walking a response to what is now, quote, beyond a crisis. mccarthy called it human heartbreak and demanded the president take action now. >> this is where he should bring air force one. this is where he should look the people in the eye.
8:01 am
this is where he should talk to the border agents. and let them know that this is beyond a crisis. he can continue to deny it but the only way to solve it is to first admit what he has done. and if he will not reverse action, it will take congressional action to do it. >> harris: the biden administration has yet to call it a crisis. mayorkas said we're on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the past 20 years. sarah sanders served as white house press secretary for president trump and now running for governor in arkansas. congratulations on your run. good to see you, sarah. so important to get your perspective on this. you would have been the last press secretary for a white house to deal with something that looks like what we're dealing with but i've heard even you say it's not the same.
8:02 am
how. >> well, let's look at the situation certainly i think the media served as the propaganda arm for the biden campaign and they're doing the exact same thing in the administration. they continue to prop up the biden administration. they aren't holding them accountable. the facts are clear. when president trump instituted the remain in mexico policy and put up a border wall, it was effective and it worked. president biden's administration has actually caused a humanitarian and national crisis at our border by opening them up at a time when democrats are fighting to keep our schools, our businesses, and our churches closed, they are completely opening our border. it is a total disgrace. the bottom line is when you open the borders and you invite people to come here illegally, they do. that's exactly what we're seeing happen on our southern border and people are flooding in. we do not have the ability or capacity to handle it.
8:03 am
it is creating a massive humanitarian and national crisis at the board and a direct hult of the biden administration's failure to deal with it and allow it to continue. >> harris: i want to get to this so we can watch it together. current white house press secretary jen psaki yesterday was asked if there is a board are disaster giving biden having called fema to deal with the migrants. >> the last administration left us a dismantled and unworkable system and like any other problem, we are going to do everything we can to solve it. i know we always get into the fun of labels around here. our focus is on solutions. this is a big challenge and it is certainly a reflection of using every lever of the federal government to help address that. >> harris: sarah sanders, what is your reaction to jen psaki? >> she is entitled to her own opinion but not entitled to her own facts.
8:04 am
the trump administration's policy the remain in mexico policy and border wall and other measures that the trump administration put into place were working at securing our border. look, we want people to come into this country. we want them to do so legally and through the correct process. they not only opened our borders but encouraged people to come to our country again at a time when they are shutting the rest of the country down. they are opening up our border. they created this problem by their failure to understand the situation at the border and they are continuing to make it worse by not addressing it. they have complete and total failure right now at the border and i think kevin mccarthy is exactly right. if they want to deal with some of the crisis going on in this country it is to go down there, look the people knee eye and understand the crisis and problem they have created in our southern states and at our southern border. >> harris: do you think that the biden people are going to
8:05 am
get harassed like you did? you were in a restaurant with your family. this was going on just to remind everybody and you are good spirited about it but it was worrisome. do you think that will happen for the biden administration? >> frankly, i hope not. that's not who we are as a country. i didn't like it when it happened to me and i don't want to see that happen to somebody else. i want to see them held accountable. i want to see the media ask them hard questions. i want to see them address the problem and fix it. i don't wish what happened to me on even my worst enemy. in fact, i think that's the opposite of how we should deal with something. i do want them to address the problem. i want them to recognize that it exists, which i think is something they have failed to do so far. i want them to take steps to fix it and i want the media to continue to ask hard questions and hold them accountable until they do it. >> harris: i want the president to start talking to the media, that would help do all those things you just mentioned.
8:06 am
can we get person one to answer question one? president biden is touring america today celebrating his massive spending legislation but yet to face the music with reporters in a solo news conference. i was just mentioning, the day count, 55 days. biden's apparent unwillingness to take on the press comes as some democrats are reportedly frustrated with his response within their own party to the border disaster. the "washington post" put it this way, centrist democrats are nervous about attacks casting them as soft on border security. liberals and immigration activist are sounding alarms how migrants are treated and so far no date has been set by the white house after the promise that we would get that solo news conference with the president by the end of this month. sarah. >> it's not surprising. president biden does not have a great story to tell right now. his administration has allowed
8:07 am
the border crisis to flourish creating a humanitarian and national security crisis. they also had slammed this legislation through and they do not have a good ability to defend what they've done. certainly i think all americans and those republicans in congress want to see relief provided where it is needed. but only 9% of that legislation actually deals with covid relief. the other 91% is a liberal agenda that they are masking in covid relief. they do not have the ability defend that and why you don't see president biden answering questions. it is either he doesn't know how or he doesn't have a good story to tell. i think that's why you can continue to see him in hiding and the media is sitting back and allowing it to happen. they would never have allowed president trump to go this long without answering questions. donald trump was the most accessible president in history. he took questions almost daily. and the press held him
8:08 am
accountable to that. they need to take the same standard with president biden and make him answer hard questions. >> harris: we'll see what it takes to get that done. my list grows longer every day. we need to get started. thank you, sarah sanders. congratulations on your run for governor of arkansas. >> thank you. >> unity also is trying to reflect what the majority of the american people, democrat, republican, independent, think. >> president biden: i'll be a president for all america. no red or blue, it's all about commitment to the american people. we are going to stay in close contact with members of both sides of the aisle and keep advancing our shared goals. >> harris: well, president biden with plenty of pitches for unity and bipartisanship. so far not a lot of outreach when it comes to the actual agenda including passing his
8:09 am
massive stimulus legislation. now the president is moving on to an infrastructure bill filled with progressive goals and a hot mic moment suggests that once again democrats seem happy to move ahead with or without republican support. mike emanuel is live for us in washington, d.c. oh, those mics, that video. they catch you, don't they? >> a hot mic revealing a candid moment between a senior secretary and transportation secretary. they were at an event in landover, maryland when cardin talked about an up coming infrastructure package that could have a price tag in the range of $4 trillion and democrats going it alone with 51 democrats in favor instead of the 60-vote threshold. >> i think it will be a process and will see some actions. certain parts of it but ultimately put together similar
8:10 am
to how the other was put together. it looks like -- [inaudible]. >> it has been thought that a massive infrastructure bill was one thing both parties could get behind. republicans and democrats and bipartisan emphasis. a key senate republican sounds disappointed. >> democrats don't have any intention of working with republicans this year as senator cardin said they will ram it through, do what they want to do and they don't have to have republican participation. it is a sorry state we're in now from an administration that has said they would be willing to work in a bipartisan manner and they haven't shown that one bit. >> with a 50/50 senate difficult to get things done. some thought infrastructure could be the last big bill of
8:11 am
this congress. harris. >> harris: you can see why some republicans have pushed for people to actually read what is in these bills that they are going to pass. you want to at least know what's coming. mike emanuel, thank you very much. "washington post" is facing backlash after having to correct a bombshell report on former president trump. did you see this? how it happened and how new claims of bias are popping like fire. and this. >> there was a lot of vitriolic screaming and shouting and name calling. that feeling of justification as a young woman. >> harris: as more of new york governor andrew cuomo's accusers tell their stories, new york city mayor bill deblasio is demanding an investigation of reported loyalty calls by the state's vaccine czar on behalf perhaps

>> governor cuomo used flirting as a way to bring a woman employee into the fold. if she didn't do the job that he wanted her to do he would stop flirting with her with the idea that she would work harder and longer and faster. some women just quit. >> standards that included having to wear high heels and look and act a certain way when the governor was in albany. >> harris: two of andrew cuomo's accusers speaking
8:17 am
publicly about the toxic environment they experienced while working with the new york governor. now another layer to the cuomo scandals. new york city mayor bill deblasio is demanding an investigation after multiple new york state lawmakers and officials say they got phone calls from the head of the state's vaccine roll-out larry schwartz. calls some took as a veiled threat. >> what we've heard about the governor and his team trying to link vaccine supply to political support, that is the definition of corruption. it is disgusting, it is dangerous. there are lives on the line. it cannot be tolerated. >> harris: cuomo's office is denying schwartz tried to play politics with the vaccine. my next guest says he got one of those phone calls. a county executive and was a
8:18 am
2018 republican governor candidate in new york. great to see you today. mark. what exactly was said to you on that call? did you feel pressure? did you think it was a veiled threat? >> i'll be clear. the cuomo administration has never asked me to be loyal and they don't question what my position is. the governor ought to resign and be impeached. the calls, however, that came to democratic county executives and as president of the new york state county executive association i've talked to several of them. admittedly some have said they thought nothing of it but it was a bit disturbing to the spectrum of those who really felt this was troubling, it was a disgusting connection between political loyalty and the lifesaving efforts underway. one executive issued an ethics complaint with the new york
8:19 am
attorney general's office. >> harris: what was in the call? >> what we know -- again, from the democratic members that spoke to us, they very much felt there was a conversation about vaccine resources connected to whether or not they were going to remain loyal or quiet on the question of resignation. what mayor deblasio said and it might be odd to hear a republican in new york say it, he is right. this governor has benefited from enabled and participated in a culture of corruption over these last 10 years. everything from pay to play politics to putting individuals with covid back into nursing homes, obstructing justice, sexual harassment charges and now this. they don't seem to understand the difference between right and wrong and they push up against every line of decency for political benefit. and it has to end. >> harris: i want to get this in there. i know the assembly chair has
8:20 am
now expanded the reach of what an investigation can look into with regard to this. i heard you say before resign and impeach and you have a long list of things the governor is accused of. where do you see impeachment going at this point? does it help or hurt to broaden out the en -- investigation. >> the democrats in new york in the state legislature have a responsibility to hold the governor accountable. to your point it is good the impeachment investigation have some breadth. listen, we can go back 10 years to the buffalo bill paid billions of dollars in contracts to political -- several administration leadership brought in on charges of federal charges of
8:21 am
corruption. right through today. the mishandling of the unemployment benefits and the inability of the state government to assist those struggling the most early on in the pandemic, the covid decisions regarding those in nursing homes, and the decision to manipulate data and obstruct an investigation into that right to the heart wrenching issues. >> harris: yes or no. does he resign? >> probably not. he should. >> harris: mark, thank you very much. good to have your time and perspective on this. those phone calls, that's really interesting. did you watch the grammys sunday night? not many of you did. while a lot of critics say the grammy performances hit an all-time low. turns out the ratings did, too. it was an amazing night for women. but some of the things that happened people weren't happy with. plus the "washington post" is correcting a report on a call

between then president trump and a top georgia state official. but some other media outlets that went with the story are yet to do the same. reaction from the power panel next. >> kind of like you go to the beach and you throw out food to seagulls. they just gobble it up. that's what happens with the media. some things are good to know. like where to find the cheapest gas in town and which supermarket gives you the most bang for your buck. something else that's good to know? if you have medicare and medicaid you may be able to get more healthcare benefits through a humana medicare advantage plan. call the number on your screen

8:26 am
refiplus. it's only for veterans and it's only from newday usa. >> the president apparently pressuring that investigator to find the fraud. we're also learning of another call. urged him to find the fraud. quote, find the fraud. adding that if they did so they would be a quote national hero. >> harris: that's how some cable news networks covered a story the "washington post" broke in january on then president trump's phone call to georgia's top elections investigator. the paper has now issued a
8:27 am
correction to that report. a correction, not an apology. after a recording of the call came out, the post admitted it wrongly quoted president trump then based on an anonymous source. trump did not say find the fraud or say she was a national hero if she did so. instead trump urged the investigator to scrutinize certain ballots saying she would find dishonesty there. tnn is correct being its story. other outlets ran without any correction and still haven't done it. the backlash on twitter goes like this. will big tech ban the "washington post" for spreading misinformation? and this, it's not hypothetical. this is just one example of the liberal media using anonymous sources to influence their readers. this one they got caught but how many have they gotten away
8:28 am
with? power panel comes in now. former 2020 advisery member jason and leslie. we've talked about accountability. when you make a mistake your integrity grows when you take responsibility for it. >> this is paper -- we need to shine a bright light all over this. at the end of the day, we live in the age of narratives where propaganda story lines, not facts matter. that's the problem. we had so many narratives over the last four years. the russian collusion, kavanaugh narrative. we had so many narratives. the fact of the matter is trump never said find me the fraud and so -- then the house
8:29 am
impeachment members cited this article and this quote on page 10 of the articles of impeachment. this is extremely dangerous and if we are going to have a strong democracy we need to have an honest and fair press. we don't have one right now. thank god for journalists and reporters like you who report on the facts and let the american people decide. >> harris: i appreciate that. thank you, jason. let me get to this. former president trump says in a statement you will notice that establishment media errors, omissions and lines slant one way against me and against republicans. meanwhile stories that hurt democrats or undermine their narratives are buried, ignored, or delayed until they can do the least harm. for example, after an election is over a strong democracy requires a fair and honest press. this latest media travesty underscores legacy media outlets should be regarded as
8:30 am
political entities not journalistic enterprises. i thank the "washington post" for the correction. he took the high road there. >> you know what? this isn't a misquote. this is an entirely different story. i'm a liberal democrat. that headline we know in journalism if it bleeds, it leads. that was bleeding. find the fraud is certainly not you will be praised, one. two, it is wrong for the president or anyone to be calling election officials regarding an election as donald trump did. georgia is having an investigation into that. however, what the "washington post" did is wrong. it is not journalism. there is a tape there and no way that you can get you will be praised and find the fraud. it is not like i heard it wrong, i'm sorry. it doesn't just need to be corrected, the original story has to be retracted and removed and rewritten and apologies and how did you get from point a to
8:31 am
point b? i was always taught when i used to be a journalist and didn't opine for a living you put the facts out there and then you let your readers, your viewers, your listeners make their own determination and certainly if you are putting out lies, that's a lie. that is an absolutely what was said. quite frankly i'm very surprised this came from the "washington post". >> harris: this was clearly a narrative situation. the facts didn't matter. they lied. leslie, you are right. thank you. a historic find in the holy land and we do mean historic. newly discovered dead sea scrolls. the first to be found in six decades. details ahead. and signs of new migrant caravans headed our way as the biden administration scrambles to set up temporary housing for the flood of migrants it refuses to call a crisis.
8:32 am

8:36 am
>> the biden administration and his policies are resulted in some winners and losers. the winners are the human traffickers. >> the policies that you have signed into effect are injuring the american citizens you serve and endangering the children of god that are making this trek. they are coming with the hope to achieve the american dream. but unfortunately before they ever have that chance to achieve the american dream, they are going to have to experience the biden nightmare. >> harris: republican lawmakers at the southern border where the migrant surge shows no
8:37 am
signs of slowing down. not only that, there are signs of new caravans headed for the united states and the white house still won't call it a crisis even as the biden administration plans to house thousands of those migrant teenagers at a convention center in downtown dallas, texas. casey stiegel is live for us in alamo, texas. the latest from the border. >> we've been hearing a lot about this and talking to you now for several weeks about how border patrol just simply inundated with the number of migrants that are coming across the southern border illegally. we're talking about both families and also unaccompanied minors, those children under the age of 17. and more and more groups they encounter agents say are getting larger. the border patrol chief for the ryo grand valley sector where we are as you look at these live drone pictures you can see how vast it is. the chief says so far this year
8:38 am
his agents have come across 17 groups of more than 100 people each. migrants making the trek say it is also increasingly dangerous for them. >> you have to go around every town. walk through the bush, around the mountain, otherwise you will either run into immigration or you will run into thugs. if you don't have money to pay they take your clothes and leave you barefoot. >> the federal government continues to look beyond the immediate border to house migrants. a live look now as the dallas convention center which is being converted, able to soon house up to 3,000 migrant teen boys. fema and hhs will manage the shelter and local charities will help when it's ready. >> we meet the needs no matter how they came to be in need. >> minors may only be held in
8:39 am
federal custody for no more than three days. the extreme backlog means thousands are being held much longer than that. harris. >> harris: former governor of new mexico martinez told me yesterday. you heard from the young man how they take his shoes. when you do that to a child they leave them behind because they know they can't catch up. it is heartbreaking. casey stiegel, thank you. history uncovered in israel. archeologists finding dozens of new dead sea scroll fragments. the first discovery of its kind in nearly 60 years. trey yengst was allowed in to see these artifacts for himself. he is live in our jerusalem bureau. fill us in. >> this is a really cool story. archeologists in israel unveiled new discoveries including fragments of a biblical scroll. it was found in a cave near the
8:40 am
dead sea and these archeologists say it is something to be really for the history books. take a look behind the scenes today in jerusalem when we got to take a look. the israeli antiquities authority says a discovery of this magnitude hasn't been made in 60 years. remarkable the preservation of these fragments. you can make out the greek lettering. >> once the first person found the first fragment inside we saw it and understood this is a scroll. we were so excited. >> it started as an effort by the israeli government to prevent artifacts from being stolen. they wanted to get ahead of the looters. they mapped out 550 different caves in the judean desert choosing to excavate just a handful. results were significant. not only the scrolls but coins,
8:41 am
10,000-year-old basket and the remains of a child. it includes portions of the book of the 12 minor prophets and found in a cave. exciting finds. >> harris: exciting indeed. thank you very much. remember that portland protestor who called himself 100% antifa last summer in apparently the view's joy behar didn't see it or remember it. the backlash after she claimed that antifa isn't even real. her words. >> ron, he is not scared of those people. he is scared of the fictitious idea of antifa. a thing that doesn't even exist. the invitation to lexus sales event. lease the 2021 is 300 for $359 a month for 36 month's, and we'll make you're first month's payment. experience amazing. veteran homeowners: during uncertain times,

>> fictitious entities don't put people in body bags. that's what happened in oregon when a patriot prayer member was killed by a member of antifa, joy behar doesn't know that. she may want to read that obituary of that man killed by the fictitious entity who killed him, a known antifa supporter. >> harris: strong reaction after "the view" co-host joy
8:46 am
behar denied that antifa even exists. her claim coming after -- we've seen the images of rioting and looting across the country especially in seattle and portland and the deadly shooting dan bongino was talking about. here is the fiery exchange. >> i was surrounded by people carrying weapons, people erecting nooses, screaming hang mike pence, bludgeoning a police officer to death i might be a little scared. ron, no, he is not scared of those people. he is scared of this fictitious idea of antifa. a thing that doesn't exist. >> antifa does exist. the anti-defamation league said both dangerous and counterproductive organization. what separates antifa is their willingness to use violence. >> harris: power panel is back now. leslie marshall and jason. your top line thoughts, jason. >> i don't know where joy behar
8:47 am
was over the summer for 100 days when a very well funded and well orchestrated and well organized domestic terrorist organization burned american cities to the ground. i don't know where joy behar was four days ago when a federal courthouse in portland was burned or lit on fire while they were people inside. to say that this is an idea or a concept is ludicrous and extremely dangerous. i think the problem is we have a sitting president and vice president that over the campaign trail called them peaceful protestors and some instances said something like the sort that joy said and they think it is okay to say these things. the problem is they think antifa is targeting the right and republicans. antifa is not targeting conservatives and republicans but it is targeting america and everything she stands for. i think it's very important for the left to wake up and
8:48 am
recognize what they are targeting. it is not republicans and conservatives, it is america. >> harris: and that's why sometimes we'll use the word anarchy in conjunction with antifa as well. here is christopher wray, director of the f.b.i. on antifa last year. let's watch. >> we the f.b.i. have quite a number of ongoing investigations of violent anarchist extremists including those motivated by antifa and antifa-like ideology and treat them as domestic terrorism investigations and actively pursuing them through our joint terrorism task force. >> harris: joy behar should see that on a loop all day, leslie. >> joy behar is incorrect but so is saying that the president or vice president said what joy behar said or believes. the f.b.i. director christopher wray is absolutely right.
8:49 am
antifa started as a movement and an ideology that was against extreme conservativeism and anti-fascism. to say the mindset of the movement doesn't exist is factually incorrect. black lives matter organization, proud boys organization, antifa not an organization and you can be part of any organization but also be part of the antifa movement. so it definitely exists but doesn't exist in the same category that some on the right want to put n. >> harris: i want to slide this in. black lives matter is also a movement. not everybody is part of the organization that the three women started with some things that people may not all agree on, just f.y.i. ideas, thoughts and all that kind of stuff don't set stuff on fire. jason and leslie. thank you. shock and paw. that's the "new york post" and what it is calling it. look at that. the disturbing new allegations

>> harris: donald trump junior accusing democrats of a double standard as more disturbing allegations have continued to surface against governor cuomo. one of his accusers has told investigators now he was pre-occupied with talking about the size of his hands and what his large hands indicated. that's according to the attorney for charlotte bennett who says the 25-year-old former aide spent hours with investigators and provided more than 120 pages of contemporaneous records and other evidence. what i like to call receipts. the host of fox across america on fox news radio. jimmie, when you look at the cover of the "new york post," shock and with -- shock and paw. this is beyond a distraction. >> i am distracted, harris, on multiple fronts. first you know i love you and

love coming on your show but i keep wondering what does it say about me that every time there is a harassment case you know who knows harassment it's jimmie. i kid. >> harris: you know new york and cuomo. >> i do. this is embarrassing. someone we admire greatly whitney houston once sang no matter they can't take away your dignity. andrew cuomo is -- this is embarrassing. he should resign. we have a pattern. this is something where we've heard about him soliciting tech support in the governor's residence and obsession with hand size. every guy in the audience knows another guy who has a pattern of telling the same cringing joke over and over and over again. if you don't know who that guy is, it's you. so people should be paying attention because this is a teachable moment for a lot of people, harris. >> harris: so i don't know if

you got to read the "new york magazine" article from one of the women when that burst on friday when we really started to hear some details where we had to say things like this next sentence if you have young ones by the tv, learning virtually, get ready, that sort of thing. we have now gone so into this with these women coming forward that it is uncomfortable to talk about it in certain circles. he was actually doing some of this allegedly in public in front of other people. >> that's what we're coming to the realization of now. there is so much corroboration, harris, to the point donald trump junior was making. we ran a supreme court justice out of polite society. we attempted to with no evidence. no substantiation from any witnesses. i believe seven people have come forward. i feel like if you wanted to help society we would have a

uniform standard when it comes to condemning things. as frustrated as i many with the cuomo situation i want him afforded due process. something tells me this courtesy will not be returned if a republican is accused down the road. >> harris: interesting. let's get to the grammys. i watched them on twitter. i know you were looking for other things to do sunday night. they notched up their lowest ratings ever down 53% from last year. social media lit up with criticism for cardi b and performances that would have looked more at home in a strip club than a prime time show. if you read social media that's the kind of stuff you saw. tucker carlson said this about their performance. >> no more dumbo, too filthy. we get that instead. it is hard not to conclude they're trying to degrade our

culture and hurt our children. >> harris: so i want to get your reaction to that and then i want to share with you a quick thought about cbs and other networks should do now. >> to tucker's point when make the comparison of what is banned and what isn't. dumbo is a word i can say on tv. we can't say wop on tv. 1,000 percent. don't let the weird shirt fool you. to his point we really have gotten to a weird misappropriation of outrage when we're banning flying elephants but letting what you described as a strip club routine go down. which is true. still still in the cancer culture is the reflective exercise of intelligence gone wrong, intellectual cowardice. that's what it is. they won't pick on this, because

these are people that are powerful in hollywood and they love them. that acronym you used, yeah, i had to pull my 11-year-old away from the tv long before that performance. there were other things going on. how about apd-rating tv 14 on that? just snack that on the screen. give a girl a heads up as a parent. good to see you, jimmy. thanks for watching "faulkner focus."
