tv   The Faulkner Focus  FOX News  May 17, 2021 8:00am-9:00am PDT

8:00 am
look at all these people. i'm a hard no on this. i don't think i'll get on a rollercoaster. they were all rescued thankfully. are you a rollercoaster guy? >> i love them. >> dana: i used to but now i get dizzy. >> bill: king's island in mason, ohio, >> dana: lakeside, denver. here is harris, "the faulkner focus" is next. >> harris: president biden increasingly under rising prices and gasoline shortages. you're in "the faulkner focus". critics are warning with joe biden as president, america has returned to the jimmy carter years. which would make 2021 the new 1979. with inflation on our food and so many necessary goods. long lines at the gasoline pump and massive tax and spend
8:01 am
packages. the "wall street journal"'s bill mcgurn says history appears to be repeating itself. >> jimmy carter entered with very high approval ratings. the way joe biden has because he followed a very controversial president who resigned, richard nixon, and then gerald ford finished out his term. so the similarities are really there. and i think they are going to get worse for joe biden because his plan is so ambitious for government and we should have learned from shovel-ready that government is almost never ready. >> harris: if it gets worse for joe biden it gets worse for the country. fox business senior washington correspondent blake berman is live for us at the white house. blake, good to see you. >> when you look all across the kun tee now no doubt about it. inflation numbers show this, gas prices show this, prices are rising. let me give you a few examples
8:02 am
quickly. aaa, the average cost of regular gallon of gas 3.08. inflation rose by 4.2% in april compared to april 2020 and food prices are up 2 1/2% nearly. senator john barrasso said it is something that has not escaped his home state. >> what i'm hearing around wyoming is we can't hire people and costs are going up. gasoline, groceries, because so much money has already been sent out by this administration and we're paying people more to not work than to work. these are important key issues for our economy into the future. >> one thing to keep in mind last april we were turning off the economy, this april the economy was turning back on over here at the white house at least at this point they're not worried about inflation. >> what economists worry about is when inflation becomes deanchored. at the moment it looks as
8:03 am
though people fully expect this inflation to be temporary. where temporary is when the economy more fully recovers. but that we understand that they are not structural factors. >> the take from the white house. at the federal reserve officials say they, too, believe inflation is temporary. but it is something that they are also going to keep an eye on certainly in the upcoming months. harris. >> harris: it was cooking at 4.2% in april, inflation. it better be temporary. >> hopefully. >> harris: i don't know how much we can take of that. black, thank you very much. the "new york post" editorial board writes joe biden is proving more of a master of disaster than jimmy carter. and that biden has squandered every good thing he inherited from former president trump. power panel now, guy benson, fox news contributor.
8:04 am
marjorie clifton former obama consultant. gie, i'll start with you. is it true? what is the evidence that's what's happening in that op-ed? >> well, i think it's pre-mature to equate biden with carter this early on but there are some very concerning signs as people have pointed out. all joe biden had to do was inherit three successful vaccines from the praoefsh yous odd ministration, give them credit. build on that credit and administer the vaccine to as many people as possible and you will see this economy take off. it still might. it's a resilient economy, we're a resilient country. but instead he has done that plus all this other left wing stuff with very little input from republicans. $2 trillion in spending, a lot of it wasteful on so-called covid relief. some of which as we heard from senator barrasso has depressed
8:05 am
the job market and disincentivized work and we talk about inflation, is it coming in significant way, is it temporary? i am concerned that the president wants to spend $4 trillion more dollars tomorrow and he has announced he would do so if he could get the bills on his desk. it wouldn't help the current situation. so right now it seems like biden is looking a lot to the left wing of his party, which is not how he ran as a presidential candidate or how he won. that's how he is governing so far. the results haven't been great. >> harris: i want to get to marjorie on this because i want her to answer to what you are bringing up. so all he had to do i'll quote guy benson. all he had to do was inherit three successful vaccines but he had more than that. he had an economy cooking along. he had a lot of things going on right and then he started to undo stuff and pipelines were at the heart of that. one gets hacked but we don't
8:06 am
have backup because he dismantled another one and put thousands of jobs on the sideline. why? >> i will say he inherited a dog regardless. we were not in a good spot coming out of a pandemic or still in the midst of a pandemic. >> harris: you don't think the vaccines -- you will call them a dog? he is begging people to take them because they save lives. >> they do but you also have to have them distributed and you have to create systems of communication. >> harris: they are. we have more out there now than people want to take. >> it happened during his administration. the vaccination process began once he took the helm. what you are is a president who inherited challenging time. things happening overseas out of his control and challenges globally that impact the united states including the economy. the questions i think people are having around the biden administration is around decisiveness.
8:07 am
that's one of his challenges that he does think through lots of different scenarios and that's where we see some of the communication still unclear. that's a fair criticism to say he will have to change how he operates given the number of things that are coming at him in this administration right now. >> harris: the point guy benson was making is he is listening to the people in his party who are pulling him so far off the left he was pulled off the game what was helping him win. cdc director is defending the decision to suddenly drop the mask mandate even after she herself recently predicted impending doom because of covid variant spikes. let's watch. >> we have cases coming down, they're down a third in the last two weeks. death rates that have never been as low since april of 2020. things in this pandemic are starting to turn around and what's also happening is we're getting data. we've been working actively just this whole last week to
8:08 am
try and move the science, move the data to the american people and tell people deliver the science to them. >> harris: even the "washington post" op-ed said biden needs to clean up this mask mess. quote, unquote, if such a head scratching turn of events had occurred under former president donald trump the administration surely would have been blamed for the lack of coordination and resulting widespread confusion. the biden team has excelled on many aspects of the covid-19 response but this was a major blunder that threatens to set back much of the progress made. president biden needs to fix it urgently and still more mixed messages for fully vaccinated americans. president biden again wears a max outside yesterday despite cdc guidelines. are they hard to understand or is there something else going on here, guy? >> cdc isn't very hard to understand. anything that they're doing or why i feel like now they've
8:09 am
finally caught up to the science and done mostly the right thing. >> harris: you don't need a mask outside if you're fully vaccinated? why doesn't the president get it? they told us that three weeks ago. >> you would have to ask him. he has given answers that are frankly unscientific. we saw dr. fauci outside posing for photos yesterday with a mask on after telling people it wasn't necessary for fully vaccinated people. i feel like the message ought to be simple. if you're vaccinated the vaccines work, go live your life. you don't need the masks anymore. if not, wear a mask and get vac naitd. instead we have this absolute mess and some of the loudest screamers now are the mask ohaholics who never want the pandemic to end. it is beyond me. i think there are is some neurosis in this. we're moving in the right directions. the vaccines work, let's treat them that way. >> harris: i want to get to
8:10 am
this to get marjorie to respond. "saturday night live" was even mocking the mask confusion. >> the cdc announced that people who are vaccinated no longer need to wear masks outdoors or indoors. pretty great, right? but a lot of people had questions. such as what does that mean? what the hell are you talking about? it's a trap. the real point is we have to trust each other so please be honest and respectful. >> harris: oh my goodness. that would be funnier if it weren't sadly true. marjorie, why can't this administration get on one message that works. >> because i don't think that there is one message that anyone will adopt. all of those who said over time we don't want to have masks anymore now have been given permission to shed their masks and yet they're critics. unfortunately in the current day political environment there is never going to be a winning
8:11 am
strategy. never going to be a winning one size fits all for any policy around it. i think that people have different -- >> harris: that's not what he told america. that's a really pessimistic message. >> that's what news is thriving on these days. that's all we talked about so far are mixed messages. >> harris: what about science? >> what is the message that works? >> harris: science says -- >> cdc's policies they put forward is based on science. if you're vaccinated you don't have to wear a mask. if you aren't, you should. that's science. >> harris: i wish that they could just read the science out loud and then go in a room and talk about what the policy would be and don't say anything until americans digest the science. we are really smart working with what we have. look at our history.
8:12 am
look at our couple hundred years of history. we can do that. you have to tell us the truth and be straight with us. >> that's the problem. they haven't been straight with us and they've issued incoherent guidance that doesn't make any sense and now they are backfilling saying well, we're adjusting to the new science over the last few weeks which doesn't really wash. you will never get people at the margins. people who will disobey, be angry, but there is a big swath of the country if you're just clear with them and honest, it will work and unfortunately we've had a lot of opaque messaging to put it kindly. >> harris: i hear what you are saying, too. it is more facts, less policy. just tell us. -- >> like drinking bleach? >> harris: oh, guy. not funny. guy, anything you want to say?
8:13 am
>> i mean, i think we can stop looking backward and looking at the current president. his words, his actions that were supposed to be pro science but often have not been. >> harris: we'll move on. i want to give you guys a chance to go back and forth and we do. things are not back to normal. millions of americans still cannot find gas as republicans warn that president biden is putting america's energy grid at risk plus remember seattle's lawless area known as the chop zone. a group of activists now planning a big party to mark the one-year anniversary despite looting, rapes and even a murder. in new york city 11 shootings within eight hours not to mention a slashing spree in the subway. meanwhile, the president accused of bashing law enforcement during police week. jason rantz is in "the faulkner focus". >> new yorkers are fleeing the city.

8:19 am
>> in 100 days we went from energy independence to now having drastic increases in fuel prices, shortages, people out of work, bad policies have bad consequences. we're seeing that all across the board. >> harris: president biden is taking heat for his handling of our critical infrastructure. many gas stations in the southeast are still lacking fuel despite the colonial pipeline resuming operations. wisconsin senator ron johnson
8:20 am
says alarm bells should be going off. >> understand how incredibly vulnerable our fuel grid is, our electrical grid is. we're a fossil fueled based economy and will be for decades. recognize that, harden our grid under that reality and don't make ourselves more vulnerable with a green new deal. >> harris: steve harrigan live in atlanta with the news, steve. >> biden administration officials said this gas shortage would largely be over by sunday. that's simply not the case if you look around the southeast. many states struggling for gasoline. here in georgia 40% of the stations no gasoline. situation even worse in north carolina and south carolina, roughly half of those stations have no fuel. and worst of all in washington, d.c. where 7 out of 10 gas stations simply have no gasoline.
8:21 am
>> i've been riding all over the place trying to find gas. >> i'm hoping because we live two blocks that way that there would be some gas somewhere. >> the average price across the nation right now just over $3. up 17 cents in the past months. in parts of north carolina and tennessee the price of a gallon of gas up 20 cents in just the past week alone. harris. >> harris: steve harrigan. thank you very much. off the charts violence in new york city. 11 people shot in just eight hours on sunday. one died. in new york city murders are up 27% from last year and shootings up 86%. meanwhile, police are still looking for this suspect in a series of weekend subway slashings that left at least four people injured. critics ripping president biden for the statement -- this statement marking national police week. this year we also recognize
8:22 am
that in many of our communities especially black and brown communities there is a deep sense of distrust toward law enforcement, a distrust that has been exacerbated by the recent deaths of several black and brown people at the hands of law enforcement, end quote. from the president of the united states during police week. jason rantz radio talk show host. your top line reaction. >> the statement started out so well i thought and then he has to bow to the radicals within the blm movement in and out of congress. if you don't do that they end up throwing a fit and take to the streets. they are selfish because they have to make everything about them. it was not about them, it was about police officers who every single day put on their uniform and they run towards danger when we run away from it. this was about celebrating what they do, not about the reactions from activists who will never be happy. to be clear, when you look at the violence on the streets of
8:23 am
this country, the violence that you just referenced, you can look at the police involved shootings of black and brown individuals, the unarmed ones. there were four this year so far of unarmed african-americans, four. there were more deaths over the weekend in chicago and it wasn't from police officers. that should be the focus. we can have two conversations. we can talk about bad policing. there is certainly bad police officers but it's a very, very small minority of what is going on here. let's focus on the good, let's focus on how to go after the bad. but more importantly let's talk about the violence that is encompassing so much of what we're not talking about that we should be. >> harris: we're looking on our screen right now and new york city and sometimes this file video, we put that up here more than a week old. we've been seeing this nightly and what we saw over the weekend and as recent as maybe a few weeks ago to call this file is more than just
8:24 am
frightening and disturbing. it seems to be unstoppable at this point. we know that this police department looked at defunding a billion dollars and last week the mayor of new york city said we're going to need well over a million back because we're having a hard time doing what we need to do now, to fight crime. a billion versus a million. jason. >> you will need a lot more than that not just in new york city. are you sensing the trend here? we've seen all across the country the departments that defunded the police as a result have seen increases in crime. we've seen it in seattle and portland, in l.a., we've seen it in minneapolis. this is a trend. when you go out there and demonize police and go after law enforcement and adopt policies to say endless chances to criminals and put them back on the streets. we aren't going to enforce the law. guess what? all you are doing is enabling that behavior and creating more
8:25 am
victims. and we are becoming the victims. our neighbors, our friends, our families are becoming victims and it is growing. there is more momentum. that's not the kind of momentum that any city wants. and there are a lot of folks out there who say this is not going to come to my neighborhood. it does. it doesn't just stay in these big cities. it starts to spread and it becomes an issue in your neighborhoods if people don't speak up. >> harris: new yorkers can tell you that. some of the most beautiful bureaus in the world are right next to each other. it is coming to your neighborhood. it's a few feet away. after months and months of chaos in portland. people living there say the city has lost its appeal. the local newspaper asked hundreds of people living in and around the city to list three words describing downtown portland, oregon. here is what we got.
8:26 am
world cloud shows the word homeless, dirty, trash, riots, unsafe, destroyed all top the list. jason, heartbreaking. >> it is. i would have used most of those words before the pandemic. before this last year. it has been a problem for a while and it is only getting worse. i'm of two minds here. number one i'm certainly sympathetic to the people who live in portland. i go there semi frequently because of how close it is. i have friends there. it has turned to a dumpster. it is really bad. images are hard to convey how bad it is. at the same time this is what happens when a community gives up. there are not enough people standing up and saying we need to take our communities back. you are losing the soul of portland like so many other cities because people have given up. i understand it is difficult, believe me, i live in seattle.
8:27 am
it is difficult to stand up to the political establishment. to the activist class. it is hard. you are going to get yelled at and attacked and some cases you might get hurt. the fact of the matter is if people don't stand up for their own hometowns this is what happens. you see what's going on in portland and it is coming to many other cities. you have to take ownership of your own communities. >> harris: jason, before i let you go and we have to be quick i want to express to you when you say people get hurt i know you have been caught in the mele recently. stay safe out there. you are bringing us pictures and information we can't always get. appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> harris: a former associate and close friend of florida republican congressman matt gaetz is in court today in orlando, florida. joel greenburg is pleading to six federal charges including sex trafficking of a minor.
8:28 am
greenburg has also been cooperating in a justice department investigation which raised questions for congressman gaetz after a "new york times" report that the congressman was the subject of a probe into possible sex trafficking of a minor. gaetz has repeatedly denied the allegations and claimed to be a victim of extortion. we'll keep you up to date on the facts. they say they feel like the u.s. welcome patrol. a bombshell report on the frustrations among the men and women who protect america's southern border. plus democrats divided over israel. perhaps more deeply than ever before. members of the liberal squad are backing the palestinians and going after the biden administration now. former trump national security advisor k.t. mcfarland is up next. >> hamas is literally indiscriminately firing payloads into israel without

8:35 am
southern israel. greg. >> hi, that's right. we're now into week two of the battle between israel and hamas militant group and from here on the ground and in central israel there is no sign of any let-up. take a deeper look at what we saw just a short while ago here at this location. we're hearing sirens now near the central part of israel. you look behind us if our cameraman can show what we're looking at. the iron dome defense system. it is going up in the sky. a second one is going up in the sky. looking to target a fourth hamas rockets coming from gaza several miles away. we're watching now. we see one puff of smoke. an indication of a hit.
8:36 am
we're seeing a second and third pop. we watched as four rockets from gaza were intercepted by the iron dome missiles. at least one got through hitting a building in the city nearby injuring three people. we're told this defense system has a 90% success rate and what we saw today. those rockets if response to some very when heavy israeli air strikes against gaza overnight and this morning. militants and underground network targeted. all totaled during this week 10 israelis have been killed. 200 in gaza. many women and children. of course, that's a real concern here right now. harris, secretary of state blinken traveling in europe today said the u.s. would support any effort to reach a cease-fire in this conflict. we speak to a top israeli defense force officer today. we asked him when could we see any chance of a pause in the
8:37 am
action? he said when the rockets stop flying. in the past 90 minutes we've seen two more barrages of rockets. not there yet. back to you. >> harris: thank you very much. president biden is facing a serious political and foreign policy challenged based on the reporting of what is going on there as well as a divide among his own fellow democrats as he is seeking to diffuse tensions between israel and the terrorists hamas. >> president biden: we also believe palestinians and israelis equally deserve to safety and security and enjoy equal measure of freedom, pos parity and democracy. my administration will continue to engage palestinians and israelis and other regional partners to work toward sustained calm. >> harris: maybe he is lecturing to those in his own party who don't agree with im. the diplomatic tone is a sharp contrast with the left, members
8:38 am
of the squad such as rashida tlaib. >> we must condition aid to israel an compliance with international humans rights and end the apartheid. we must with no hesitation demand our country recognize unconditional support of raise will enabled the palestinian life and denial of the rights of millions of refugees. >> harris: former deputy national security advisor under president trump k.t. mcfarland is the author of revolution, trump, washington and we the people. thank you for being with me. as we listen to the congresswoman tlaib tell me what you think about her version of the facts. >> well, i think that the far left wing, the democrat party is holding the white house hostage. the white house is in a position where they don't have a majority control of anything of congress. what they're doing is bend to the wishes of these radical
8:39 am
leftists. one of them wants to hate israel and anti-semitic and want the biden to reverse everything trump did including in the middle east. we understood you could only get peace if you cut the funding and weapons sources from the palestinian terrorists. we did it with the abraham accord. the arabs stopped funding the terrorists and iran we got them so broken they couldn't afford to send aid to the palestinians terrorists. we were on our way to peace. now it's all been reversed and what do you see in the middle east? predictably you have war. >> harris: more money in the hands of iran and we know from our reporting on the ground there in israel some of the holy sites of jerusalem. some areas they had not hit, you know, we know where those rockets are coming from some of them. so k.t. what about this idea? when you hear the far left talk about the palestinian people, i don't think that people really
8:40 am
understand that everyone gets the difference between the terrorists, hamas, and the palestinian people. i don't know if hamas cares that much about those people because they reportedly put themselves among them knowing that they are going to get hit, targeted because they're attacking israel. so they don't even care about those families. >> no. you are making a really important point. the palestinians terrorists stay in power because they promise constant war. what about the palestinian people? the aid doesn't go to the palestinian people. for example. the united states and other countries have given concrete, cement to the palestinians to rebuild areas. what do the corrupt leaders do? they build tunnels. a subway system so they could ferry terrorist fighters into israel to attack. they get money from aid groups. they are buying weapons systems. the palestinian people are the big losers in all this.
8:41 am
the palestinian leaders stay in office because they are supported by the bad guys and that's the great tragedy is that there won't be peace for the palestinian people. there won't be prosperity for the palestinian people. they will be in wars they can't possibly win. >> harris: what is the endgame here? israel is not going to cease to exist and if president biden cap itulates to the far left in his party lehave to stop there. that's not going to happen. what's the endgame for the far left? what are they so thirsty for? >> in this case they know they can't destroy israel. they want to destroy the abraham accords and want the middle east to be a different place. they saw that trump built peace in the middle east and peace with allowing israel to remain as an independent nation. far left of the democrat party are anti-semitic and anti-israel. it goes against their whole
8:42 am
grain to see an israel that would thrive and makes peace with its neighbors. they don't want peace. >> harris: quickly in your years of watching this and you and i have both been there in that part of the world, when netanyahu says that this is going to go on for a while, what are we supposed to make of that? what does a cease-fire really look like? >> well, i think netanyahu, who has the upper hand. he will keep going until they destroy the tunnels, until they wipe out hamas's ability to make war, until they destroy a lot more of those missiles. it will go on for a while and needs to, to stop the palestinians fighting against israel. >> harris: the terrorists there, hamas, wow. maybe the far left can actually practice saying those words, it's the terrorists. k.t. mcfarland, thank you for being with me today. penn state university making changes to get more woke folk. but some people are saying it's
8:43 am
gone too far. plus prince harry is getting ripped apart for his recent comment about the first amendment of the united states constitution. jimmy failla always has plenty to say and he is with me next. >> about the first amendment. as i still don't understand it but it is bonkers. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream.
