victims. thank you. >> we will now take a few questions? >> is the man you see in the video being escorted out by two officers with the bloody leg, is that the suspect we're speaking of? >> we'll release a photo of the suspect. >> can you tell us at all anything about the suspect's injuries in the hospital? >> he suffered a leg wound. it was a through and through wound to his leg. >> is that from one of your officers? >> we're not sure at this time. >> was he known to law enforcement? >> not that i know of. >> have you questioned the suspect and has he provided a motive? >> no motive at this time.

nothing. i think it's in the press release. >> have investigators spoken with him? >> at this time investigators have spoken with him and i would like michael dougherty who is running that section of the investigation. michael, do you want to speak to that? >> i do want to stress we're in the early stages of the investigation. the arrest affidavit and warrant will be released later today once booked into the boulder county jail and providing as much information as we can as soon as we can. in terms of statements that he may have made to investigators first i want to stress he is innocent unless and until proven guilty as we do in every case. but more importantly to your question, we are collecting those statements now and be providing those in the weeks ahead. i don't have a list of the statements he made up to this point. the investigation is still in the very early stages. >> can you tell us any more

about it? >> his name and his community he lived is included in the press release. it was arvada. i know there is an extensive investigation into his background. he lived most of his life in the united states. beyond that we're in the early stages of the investigation. [inaudible question] >> at this time we believe and are confident the community is safe. and that he -- i'm sorry. just one second. and that he was the only person involved. obviously it is early in the investigation and we'll continue to run down every lead. i'm glad you asked that question. there was a name going around social media and the media yesterday. you will recognize it is not the individual who has been charged. we don't believe there was any connection between those two individuals. to the extent it was reported on in the media and social media, i think people were doing their best to get information out. he does not appear to be

connected to this at all. >> it seems that in describing the nature of what happened that this wasn't just -- this was [inaudible] can you describe what emotions you are going through right now? >> it's hard, challenging. i live three blocks up the street from that store. you are worried about your neighbors and your partners and you are worried about everything when you get that call. and so yeah, i feel numb. it is heartbreaking. it is heartbreaking to talk to victims, their families, you know, it is tragic. this officer had seven children. ages 5 to 18. i just had that officer's whole

family in my office two weeks ago to give him an award. and so it is personal. this is my community. i live here. and to have something like this happen so close to where you live and to know the fear in the community and to know that the officers sacrifice themselves. it is heartbreaking. >> can you talk a little more about office talley. what he was like? >> i can tell you he is a very kind man. he didn't have to go into policeing. he had a profession before this. but he felt a higher calling. and he loved this community. and he is everything that policing deserves and needs. he cared about this community. he cared about boulder police department, he cared about his

family, and he was willing to die to protect others. and that gets lost in translation. >> very briefly tell us about officer talley. can you tell us anything about the other victims and learn anything about them, were they shoppers and workers? >> i don't know all the details at this time. all i can tell you is i have spoken to some of their families and i can just tell you that they are heartbroken. this is the worst call you could ever receive as a family member. we have checked and at this time we do not believe any university students. >> when did the police call

first come in and what happened after that? >> i just know we started receiving calls for service at 2:30 p.m. and we received a barrage of calls for shots fired and i believe we received one call with a man with a patrol rifle and they came in back-to-back to back. >> tell us about the award the officer was given? >> actually the award was for officer talley's son. officer talley taught cpr. he taught his family cpr. officer talley, one of his sons followed -- because officer talley taught his children cpr his son was able to save a little boy's life. the boulder police department just gave the son and award for lifesaving. >> i can't imagine what you are going through. i'm sure your department and fellow officers are in shock.

but what do you tell your officers who are going out today for another day of work? >> all my officers are doubled up and thanks to the state and all of the local authorities that are here have offered to run calls of service for us, and none of my officer wanted to do that so we partnered them up and they want to be out with the community. >> what do you tell them as a person? i know you are talking as your capacity as the chief. what do you tell them >> tell them that i'm sorry. we'll get through this. don't lose your compassion. we'll get through this and come out of it stronger. >> can you talk more about officer talley's actions yesterday? >> i think we're almost -- about to wrap up questions and just to fill in for one of the questions that were asked. the chief met with some of the

victim's families last night. others were notified by other members of the police department and coroner's office. those notifications were pleated as reflected in the press release at 4:00 in the morning. you asked about how officers are doing and someone had asked about the mood amongst the investigators. i would describe it as very determined and very focused. there is a lot of work to be done. we have local, state and federal law enforcement inside this building and at the crime scene and at different locations throughout the metro area working on this case right now. to answer your question i would say the group is very focused on the work that is going to be done. we recognize the trauma that has been inflicted about the victims' families and community and drive us to do to see this case at the right resolve. i'll turn it over to deon. >> what kind of weapon? >> some of that information will be contained in the arrest

affidavit coming out later today. some of those details need to be nailed down. i will hold off on that. if you have additional questions about it you can let me know or let deon know if you don't mind. that is still in the early stages. the crime scene is being processed thanks to the recovery team of the f.b.i. they are the best of the best. they will be at the king scoopers for the next couple of days and continue to have updates about the crime scene, investigation and prosecution of the individual who is wholely responsible for the 10 victims killed. i anticipate that the suspect will be released from the hospital today. that is based on what his doctors are saying. it could change, of course, if he is released today he will be transported to the boulder county jail. booked into the jail and affidavit and warrant will be available to all of you. i appreciate you all being here today. thank you. i'll turn it back to deon. >> we appreciate all the questions. this is all the time we have for the questions this morning.

thank you, everyone, for coming. we'll continue to have updates. i will send out this press release to everyone. thank you, everyone. i can spell any names and print out more of these and email them to you. those are all the questions we can take this morning. we hope to have another update later today and post the information on twitter as soon as we know. if you want me to spell the names. all right. >> harris: we're now watching the close of a lot of information finally coming out in boulder, colorado after a mass shooting inside of a king scoopers supermarket yesterday and the follow up is we knew the name of the one police officer who went in to protect others. he was the first to arrive after you heard that police chief describing the barrage of 911 calls they got about a shooting. when that officer showed up, eric talley, he lost his life. and now they are now passing

out the names of the rest of the victims. there was a delay in that we're told because they were waiting to contact all the family members and if there were a need to have those spelled they were going to do that. as far as reading them at this point we aren't aware that's going to happen so we'll pull away as they pass out that material. and we're fortunate enough to have our jeff paul who can fill us in on some of what we could not see and hear there. he is live for us in boulder, colorado. >> harris, i think the big stressor here from investigators and everybody this is still early on in the investigation and sounds like their focus has been in the right place on the victims. the 10 people who died. innocent lives that should not have been taken because of this shooting. they did mention the suspected shooter and one comment was made in the long run we might remember the name of that shooter but today the focus needs to be on the 10 people who lost their lives.

they said there is no motive at this time but still very early on in the investigation. we did get the names of the nine other victims and i'm sure we will hear more about them in the coming days. their ages range from 5 -- >> harris: we'll hear more now. i want to go now as they read the names of the victims. >> 49, suzanne fountain, s-uzanne, fountain, 59. harry leiker, 51.

eric talley, eric, talley, 51. kevin mahoney, k-e-v-i-n, m-a-h-o-n-e-y-, 61. lynn murray, 62. jody waters, 65. and again, we have assigned a p.i.o. liaison to each of these families. please respect their privacy. the liaison will let you know if they are interested in speaking with any of you. please respect their privacy. >> have the victims' families comfortable with speaking publicly? >> i'm not sure.

it is public information. sadly, we have to let them know. all right. thank you. i'm going to email this out with all this information. >> harris: all right. so we dipped back into that to hear the names of the victims read and spelled and maybe just a line or two of biographical information like their age for some of those victims. i want to go back to our correspondent jeff paul in boulder, colorado. we saw something today that we've seen over and over. it is so heartbreaking. that is leadership in a community, particularly a police chief, coming forth as she did telling personal stories how tight knit the community is. talking about the closeness of this particular police department as they deal with this but jeff, this went a different level for this police chief. she had just had officer talley and his family over to her home

for an award, father of seven children. and so all of this is personal for the people of boulder and the people of colorado. but for that police chief you could really see that emotion. >> yeah, absolutely. i think one of the questions was asked how are you feeling right now? she said numb. and she said she takes this personally because not only is this someone who she oversees as a police officer, but also as sort of a family member, as a community member like you said the whole family was just in her office recently. so it's extremely personal. she even mentioned any time there is one of these calls, you think about your partner or somebody who is out there in the field and you just hope they make it home safe and unfortunately in this case his heroics, someone shows up, the first on scene and he doesn't

come home. and nine other people in addition to that officer aren't coming home and their ages, as we started to hear their names being read out there so importantly, 20 to 65 years old. and this is just a regular old supermarket. a lot of apartments around here. people are coming out walking around and enjoying the outdoors in the great state of colorado here in boulder. this is sort of the center of this community to a degree. i found it really interesting, the congressman who represents this area, made a comment about covid and saying that the supermarket has been maybe one of the only places where we all still sort of come together. so many things we can't do anymore, can't go to games, can't go to concerts. food is a necessity and something so important, this grocery store. he almost had this -- he was offended that somebody would come in here and take that away from his community, that it's not safe to go get groceries

especially at a time during a pandemic when everybody needs food and everybody sging in there to get the essentials. you can hear that this community, they all have roots and watch out for each other and this story certainly isn't going away any time soon. >> harris: there are pockets of that great state. i've lived in it, boulder one of them, where people pull together also because they were getting ready for a large snowstorm. that's why you had so many people at the grocery store. spring break in the area. the teenagers weren't heading to the store where sometimes they will to hang out. there are so many cues for the togetherness in boulder, colorado and throughout the state in total. our hearts are with those people there. jeff paul, thank you for the reporting. we want to begin now anew on

"the faulkner focus" with the migrant story and what is happening on our southern border. i'm harris faulkner and you are in the "the faulkner focus". migrants are massing on the other side of the border between the united states and mexico as frustration over the biden administration's secrecy and mixed messaging is coming to a head. a biden for president campaign flag is seen flying high at a migrant camp in tijuana, mexico as migrants push for entry into the united states. and the crisis is thickening. the administration is still opposing severe restrictions on what the media can and cannot cover, telling us what to do. the best look we have at what is going on inside those overcrowded migrant facilities is these pictures released from a democratic congressman henry cuellar of texas and here is what he said he saw.

>> the reason this pictures are important to show how packed they are, somewhere close by that same weekend there were about 150 -- 150 people that were released without a notice to appear. to me that's unprecedented. >> harris: senator ted cruz of texas is leading a tour to the border this friday and has written a letter to president biden pleading with him to let reporters come along and part of the letter reads as such. your administration clearly and emphatically refused to offer press access. this is outrageous and hypocritical, end quote. i want to bring in senator cruz, republican from texas joining me now. senator, welcome to the program. first of all, you know, the lieutenant governor dan patrick has told me the same thing. reporters not welcome to come. that was weeks ago. what is going on? what is it that we can't see? what don't they want us to know? >> it's a crisis that is unfolding and getting worse every day. it is the direct result of

political decisions made by the biden administration. as soon as joe biden was sworn n he halted construction on the border wall. rehe instituted the failed policy of kafrp and release. they release illegal immigrants detained now without covid testing them for many of them. he repealed the remain in mexico policy which was a tremendous foreign policy and immigration victory that the trump administration had negotiated with mexico. joe biden tore that apart. the results is we're seeing a crisis. last month over 100,000 illegal aliens were detained at the border. it is getting worse. we're seeing more and more kids, unaccompanied kids, young children, kids in cages as the media told us for four years relentlessly during donald trump. there are a lot more kids in cages right now. the biden administration doesn't want anyone to know this. so on friday i'm taking 17 senators down to the border to meet with border patrol to see

the detention facilities and visit with law enforcements to hear the concerns on the border in texas. i've spent a lot of time down there. astonishingly the biden administration is refusing to allow any media to accompany us. we had request fox news wanted to come with us, abc news wanted to come with us and embed with us. the biden administration's argument is absurd. apparently you're too much of a risk of covid. never mind that they are packing thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants in packed facilities. it is reporters and cameramen that pose the covid threat and harris, it is absurd. i can tell you i've taken border trips and been to those facilities many times in the obama administration and the trump administration and they've always let media in. it is only the biden administration that is engaged in this blackout. >> harris: there is another type of spread and that is

hypocrisy and lack of transparency. so that is also what, you know, they don't want us to see, i would imagine. a couple of questions for you, though. i really want to understand the logistics of this. so our reporter just said that 150 people at least that we know about could be more, right, have not had court dates set. that's usually what happens. you come over, the due process starts, and then they give you a date, you report, so on and so forth so we can keep up with people. we're doing a call us back, reach back mode. how much of that is happening? >> it's catch and release which they've implemented in place. you combine that with ending the remain in mexico policy. the majority of those crossing the border illegally are not from mexico, many from central america and travel illegally through mexico. what the trump administration -- they remain in mexico while

the case is pending. the biden administration didn't want to do that but wanted to release them. they release many of them in my home state of texas. i tell you, harris, the harlingen, texas, the rate of covid positive cases among the illegal immigrants they're releasing is more than seven times greater than the rate in the u.s. population. it is indefensible and public health risk and biden administration is why they don't want the press to know bit. they're trying to cover up this crisis and it is self-created. joe biden has created this crisis. >> harris: and i'm going to ask my team to put up vice president kamala harris. i want to get your response to this just as she seemingly laughed off a question from a reporter who asked yesterday if she would be visiting the border amid the growing migrant crisis. here is the vice president. >> do you plan to visit the border? >> not today. [laughter]

but i have before and i'm sure i will again. we were left with a very challenging situation. we have to treat this issue in a way that is reflective of our values as americans and do it in a way that is fair and humane. >> harris: senator cruz yesterday, former president trump told me they were not left with a situation that democrats say this they were. they had a transition and we can get into detail at another time about that. your reaction. >> i have to say watching that footage i served with kamala a number of years at the present. to see her laugh at the crisis on the border and these children. it is a humanitarian crisis that we have thousands upon thousands of little boys and little girls being handed over to human traffickers who are physically abusing those kids. sexually abusing those kids and the attitude of kamala and joe biden is they're laughing at them. that is not compassionate and giving a damn. i'll tell you the donna

processing facility in texas right now has nearly 4,000 illegal immigrants in that facility. it has a capacity of 250. so it is 1500 times in excess of its capacity. the reaction of the biden administration and kamala harris is just to laugh and to keep making it worse. they still won't fix it. i actually don't care if she laughs or not. what i care about is stop making the problem worse, stop releasing people who are covid possible and stop putting kids in harm's way and stop releasing criminals that prey on the community. >> harris: if you factor the pandemic we are know right now. they have created an international super spreader event at facilities along our border and -- >> they're terrified for the pictures and images of it. exactly right. >> harris: the gag order. i'm curious if congress with investigate that. i want to dig deeper.

i have never seen this kind of power excised in this country to keep us gagged. >> fox news is willing to speak about it. the fact that every news station is not outraged. if donald trump had done this and said no reporters are allowed on the border the media would have lost their minds and they would have been right to. right now too many of the reporters in the mainstream media view their job as being cheerleaders for the biden administration and apologizing for it. the media has a right to be there and i'm fighting for the media to be able to go and see what is happening and get pictures and see the crisis that is happening. >> harris: and do our jobs. >> exactly right. >> harris: senator ted cruz, thank you for your time and perspective and we'll follow as much and as closely as we can what you do at the border. >> thank you. >> harris: the border crisis now overwhelming migrant facilities. did you hear what senator cruz just said? 4,000 in a space meant for 250

at one facility. president biden now spending millions to house asylum seekers. but remember, when we couldn't do the same thing for our own national guard troops at the u.s. capitol. they were left sleeping in a parking garage on the floor and food contamination and this. >> it's incredible what the biden white house is able to get away with and i'm hopeful thursday we'll see. the press needs to ask these really hard questions of him. >> harris: president biden's first solo news conference comes thursday. will reporters actually take the opportunity to ask him some of those tough questions? "fox & friends" weekend host will cain joins me next. it's a new day for veteran homeowners. with home values high and mortgage rates at all time lows. great news for veterans who need money for their family.

>> at the time when we became aware of the conditions,

national guard troops were in parking garages, as you noted, the president called the head of the national guard that day and offered his assist answer, offered to play any role. making sure they had the right -- were treated in the way they deserved for the incredible role they've played. i know that was some time ago but the reaction he took at the time. >> harris: white house press secretary jen psaki defending the president's response earlier this year when we couldn't get our national guard troops warm beds to sleep on, remember that? well now president biden is set to spend $86 million to find hotel rooms for migrant families as their border facilities are starting to fill to capacity or beyond. tucker carlson sounded off on the president's priorities. >> at a time when there were more than half a million americans homeless living on the streets, a crushing number

that our leaders ignore but that rises every single year. at that moment joe biden is giving hotel rooms to illegal aliens. it's hard to believe that's real. but it is real. >> harris: will cain is the co-host of "fox & friends" weekend. we have a heart for what's going on for people all over the world but we also have to have a heart for those who are here in the country and i know there is criticism on both sides of that. >> i think you are absolutely right on two counts. you mention the word priorities. that's what this reveal. what are your priorities as compared to situation like america's growing homeless crisis and also what the national guard was put into in washington, d.c. it reveals your priorities. i want to underline what you said. we have a heart. everyone wants to have a humanitarian situation for people escaping very bad violent situations wherever they are fleeing from. here is the oxymoron, the biden

administration don't seem to get. in trying to create a humanitarian situation or take a humanitarian approach, they have created inhumane conditions. a self-defeating proposition. they didn't just tolerate illegal immigration. they incentivized and encouraged it. like a permissive parent. if you encourage bad behavior you'll get more. by throwing out the welcome mat they've asked for the flood of illegal immigration which they can't handle. we know that. they won't even show it to us. they are in fact encouraging and fostering this inhumane situation. >> harris: i want to get to this. formerly homeless veteran reacted to the administration's reaction to house migrants in hotels and spend millions of tax dollars to do it. watch. >> what i don't understand is why we can allow our greatest heroes, american veterans that have gone to fight for this country that have gone and put their lives on the line and

then they come back home and have nowhere to go. and this administration is putting more money into people that have never contributed to this society and to me that is very heartbreaking. >> harris: will. >> it reminds me and so many people watching, and i know you had former president donald trump on your show yesterday but reminds me of his mantra. his platform. america first. that's what americans want to see. it is again not that we don't have a heart or we don't want to help other people or welcome our doors to those in need of help, but when it is not helping our own americans, going to syria, going to the middle east, welcoming in migrants from central america, that's all fine and good but not if it is coming at the expense of a limited amount of resources that we're depriving americans of. whether it comes in the forms of jobs, addressing the

homeless crisis or whatever it may be. america first is about handling our problems and then with that strength in hand being able to then help other people. >> harris: i'll let you have the last word on that and get to this. despite the border crisis the white house called a lid at 1:13 in the afternoon yesterday. signaling to the press there would be no more public appearances from president biden for the rest of the day. former white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany says the media better ask some tough questions of the president when they finally get the chance at his first solo news conference on thursday. >> i'm not just saying what are your thoughts on the border. that's not a sufficient checking of the box question. they need to ask him you say you blame this on trump. explain to me specifically how this is trump's fault when in fact numbers came down when he took historic immigration action in 2019 and they've gone up and wearing biden t-shirts and flying biden flags and on camera citing here because of

you. he needs to be confronted that directly and specifically. >> harris: do you think in a billion years that will happen? >> that's a big number but i'm not encouraged that will happen and i'm not sympathetic to the press and large. you and i are members of the press. let's not make any exception. we're not the group thinking echo chamber. they asked for this. they allowed joe biden to run for president with very little pushback or scrutiny. they allowed him to call lids. 1:00? that's aggressive. he was calling lids at 9:00 a.m. during his campaign. he was elected with very little pushback whatsoever. if they are discouraged or irritated he won't answer their questions or call a press conference 62 days into his administration? guess what? you asked for it media. i agree with you, you should get access to the immigration

facilities. you asked for this situation. >> harris: one last thing before i let you go, will. it is the week that we have had. it was the reason why i wanted the talk with former president trump yesterday because he ran on the border issues. that is that they closed the border through the dhs secretary. that announcement coming on sunday. we didn't hear from the president of the united states and that's what he ran on, right, a pandemic. but now you have people coming in. you can't test them. we're tasked with doing everything we can to keep them and ourselves healthy as we deal with overridden facilities. a health crisis. the mind is boggled by it. >> that was his number one campaign issue and made it his number one governing issue. it is inseparable from the border crisis. >> harris: a bitter debate as the push for d.c. statehood gets a hearing. why republicans accuse

democrats of a power grab. the power panel weighs in. >> there is not. let me ask you this. if there was >> let me finish. i want to completely answer your question. i am aware -- >> you completely answered my question so please don't continue. when you have a two-inch lift. when you have goodyear duratrac tires. when you have rancho shocks and an integrated dual exhaust. when you have all that, the last thing you'll need... is a road. the chevy silverado trail boss. ready to off-road, right from the factory. ♪ you come and go ♪ ♪ karma-karma-karma- karma-karma chameleon ♪ ♪ you come and go ♪

>> the sad truth is that most of my republican colleagues oppose d.c. statehood simply because they believe it would dilute their power. >> it would effectively shift the power to the left wing progressives so that they can enact their radical agenda that americans have rejected time and again. >> d.c. statehood is a racial justice issue. >> d.c. statehood is a key part of the radical leftist agenda to reshape america. >> if you oppose d.c. statehood you support taxation without representation, do you hear me? >> harris: democrats calling it a pressing civil rights issue of our time. republicans say it is a pure power grab. sparks flying as you can see as washington, d.c. long push for statehood gets a congressional hearing. supporters of a bill making washington, d.c. america's 51st

state argue its residents deserve the same representation as other americans and d.c. statehood some say was never the intention of the founding fathers. it would allow two senators and one member of the house. we have two people in to see you both. i will start with you. as one of the congress people said how is this a racial political issue? a racial justice issue? >> well, it's wherever they can fit in racial justice it seems like an instant win. the truth of the matter is democrats have political vampires blood thirsty for power wherever it may be whether it be they give legalization to 11 million people and vogters that vote for them year after year and this issue. if we want to look back at previous votes in 1993, 100

democrats joined with republicans to reject the narrative of d.c. statehood. that includes steny hoyer from maryland who is a co-sponsor of the legislatureation and is in leadership in the democratic house of representatives. so with that being the case we have to understand exactly why they want to do this and we continue to see especially in this new generation of democrats and progressives that they will do whatever it takes to win power and this is another issue for them to win power on. >> harris: roger, would it give democrats more power? >> at first glance, yes, first off thanks for having me and great to be here. unfortunately i have to say his point kind of i think cheapens of centuries of people who fought for this pre-dates the democratic party for example. the effort to get d.c. to become a state i think is

consistent with when the constitution was first passed there was only 3,000 people and mainly virginia and maryland residents. we would have a conversation about philadelphia. it was the capital of the country for first 10 years. d.c. has a population that's greater than wyoming or vermont. we pay taxes and just in a personal context, i would love to chat more about political and history. you grow up as i did working city council races, u.s. senate races and work in presidential politics and work for a two term president who wins barack obama and get to d.c. and work in the administration. the first thing you have to hand over is your vote when you move here. it needs to be changed. america in order to form a more perfect union. our responsibility here. >> harris: wow. i can't even believe that you just said hand over at the border. i'm going to let it go.

go ahead. >> let me politely push back and my points aren't cheapened. it's reality. the truth of the matter is the founders did intend to have d.c. be the center of all government not just government in the local area where there are 700,000 residents but all of the country and why we have the white house and u.s. supreme court and that's why we have congress. since you mentioned barack obama, he had a super majority in the senate and majority in the house. if he wanted statehood, which he said he did, he could have done it. so let's be clear about what the intentions are of the day. >> harris: your boss didn't. we have to scoot. thank you. the immediate impact of the border crisis, my next guess says cities around the nation will soon feel negative effects in very different ways. state right here on the fox

>> look, no one celebrated more the biden presidency than criminal cartels because they are of the promise made and the promise he made, these criminal cartels are ruthless and people don't see the flip side of that, they see illegal immigration is a victimless crime but it's far from victimless. >> harris: former acting ice director on the threat of drug cartels exploiting vulnerability along our southern borders. as more states move ge's drug laws, my next guest is calling this a perfect storm that could ruin our american cities.

"the cartels won't pass up this opportunity to grow its footprint. that will spell disaster for washington and oregon and before you know it it will land in your neighborhood. i want to bring in now jason, joining me from a seattle radio, always great to have you on the program to get your perspective, you've been on the ground as a journalist and you've seen so much made what you make about the situation, montana ag, other attorney generals across the state say that it doesn't just affect the border, it migrates elsewhere throughout the country, the spike in crime, the cartels drive it. >> yeah, absolutely, when you have open borders we have cartels looking to take advantage of them, they have historically taken advantage of any issue that they can, during the obama administration, for example, they were very crucial in bringing in fentanyl into this country and they were doing that through the border that was

under security, they did that because at that time there wasn't really the infrastructure in place to find the fentanyl. it's easily disguised in so now what you have happening is the cartels are going to take advantage of an open border. just in the last year, the dea just put out a pretty report saying that they have this part, the pacific northwest under siege, bringing fentanyl which is a synthetic opioid that is incredibly toxic if you take even just a little bit too much of it and we've seen the cartels be a little more open to this region because in oregon voters just passed a decriminalization bill, possession is no longer a felony and here in washington state the supreme court literally a month and a half ago got rid of the felony drug possession law on the books which has meant a whole bunch of drug dealers and people have been committing crimes, not just

drug-related crimes, are being released from prison are not even being held at all. >> harris: well, just a quick follow-up, why would they do that? it seems to make it easier for the drug dealers and i want to get to the next thing. >> i think they do that because they looked at this issue as a social justice because, it was a split decision which we generally don't get from the washington state supreme court, they are very far to the left but you had a number of them saying, yeah, it is unconstitutional to assume that someone who is found to have drugs on them, that it was intentional. who among us hasn't reached into our pocket and pulled out an eight ball of cocaine and said "how did this get there? it's an absurd position and it's gone so overboard the way they are viewing drug laws here, there's consequences. >> harris: you are also sounding the alarm on how volunteer groups are being forced now to clean up cities where local officials are dropping the ball and to get a

sense of how slow seattle city leaders have been in cleaning up the city, you tweeted out photos of homeless encampments at seattle parks, writing "it only took 60 plus 911 calls, ten arsons are illegal burns, five domestic violence incidents, for assaults, three sex offenses and an attempt to burn an officer alive in his patrol vehicle to get the city to act." >> yes, that's the city that we live in and that's the situation in a lot of parks and it's not even just seattle, there's a story out today up in northern washington where they are dealing with the same issue, you've got homeless people who are taking advantage of lax laws thanks to city councils that are very far to the left. they claim that it lacks compassion to sweep these encampments and put these people into shelters which is a weird position. they call folks like me someone who lacks is compassion because i support those sweet but compassion from the seattle city council leaves people

living in squalor and inevitable death. >> harris: yeah. the pictures tell part of the story, you tell us the rest with your on the ground experience. we appreciate that, opening our eyes to what's going on. thanks for being with me always, it's high noon on the east coast, "outnumbered" now. let's begin with a fox news alert. authorities in colorado, giving an update a short time ago, the mass shooting in the boulder supermarket yesterday, that left ten people dead including a veteran police officer. the victims have been identified now ranging in age from 20-65. witnesses say the gunman walked into that store, opened fire and didn't say a word. and we don't know why he did it. the suspect is now in custody and hospitalized after a leg in
