>> bill: probably. >> dana: all right. want to see a trick? ready? jasper don't let me down. can you catch? catch? okay, here you go. >> bill: nice. >> dana: he really can do it. it is my tossing ability. peter is much better at it. >> bill: we'll run and harris will take over and back inside tomorrow and see what happens. >> dana: here is harris. "the faulkner focus". >> harris: international pressure is growing for a cease-fire. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel will press on against the terror group hamas. trey yengst is live near the gaza border with the latest. trace new developments and we're coming straight to you this hour. >> good morning. israel and hamas have entered

their 10th day of fighting. earlier this afternoon four rockets were fired into northern israel from lebanon by suspected palestinian factions there. a breaking development. the israelis may be facing a two-front war. we understand israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be holding security consultations this evening trying to understand who fired these rockets. but we know the israeli military responded with artillery strikes into lebanon happening an overnight air campaign targeting hamas tunnel infrastructure inside gaza. 3700 of rockets into israel. there is no timeline for ending this operation despite urging by president biden asking him to push the operation towards a cease-fire. listen to what prime minister netanyahu had to say earlier today.

>> to have israel criticized for that is absurd. not only is it absurd and unjust and untrue it does enormous damage to democracies fighting this kind of evil. it says you cannot protect yourself. because in the course of doing that instead of having the perpetrators who commit war crimes or hiding behind civilians and firing on civilians, not having -- it's the height of hypocrisy and stupidity. >> reports indicate israel twice tried to kill the chief of the hamas military wing and failed inside gaza rescue teams are digging through the rubble of collapsed buildings looking for survaifshors. many survivors have moved closer to hospitals and schools. the humanitarian situation inside gaza is unraveling and attempts to deliver aid were halted after convoys of trucks

were targeted with mortars. israeli artillery still firing into the gaza strip and attack helicopters have been targeting hamas launching units throughout the day along the strip. >> harris: trucks trying to bring aid to the palestinian people and hamas terrorists fire on those trucks. they aren't on the side of the people. that doesn't seem difficult to understand. >> that's the big question about why they would fire on this aid that was headed into gaza. the reports indicate the jordanians tried again today to send shipments of aid into the gaza strip and once again came under rocket and mortar fire. the situation inside gaza as it deteriorates further is also detaor orriateing politically. all don't support hamas but many are caught in the

crossfire. in the coming days we'll see the situation inside gaza deteriorate further. we talk about electricity and water and even about food. so the pressure increases on hamas to continue. the one thing they do have support on related to firing rockets into israel but also having to deal with the humanitarian situation. we hope in the coming 24 hours journalists will be allowed entry to gaza to get a better idea what is happening and what sort of aid these civilians need. >> harris: it is interesting. politics play a role in all of this. hamas must be deaf and blind when it comes to what it looks like when you don't help your own people and you started something. israel is not backing down. trey yengst, thank you very much. fox news alert now as three republicans have been pushed against now on the house floor for refusing to wear their masks as the battle over mask mandating is ramping up on capitol hill. in fact now it's quite hot. several house republicans are

fighting back against speaker nancy pelosi's refusal to lift the mask mandate despite the cdc latest guidelines. the lawmakers are chatting maskless on the house floor between votes. the democrat-led chamber has ordered three of those house republicans to pay $500 fines. the other eight being given warnings. congressman and army veteran brian mast among those find says pelosi only cares about power. >> i went onto the floor of the house of representatives. i had to speak. as i was sitting there a member of the house sergeant-at-arms staff approached me and asked me if i was going to put on my mask. i said no and i was fined. the only thing speaker pelosi is protecting is tire ran call control. if you've been vaccinated no reason for you to have to wear a mask on the floor of the house. >> harris: house republicans

are pushing a resolution today that would end the mask mandate for fully vaccinated people inside the capitol complex. my understanding that's a lot of people. joining me now is congresswoman van dine. she is getting mic'd up for us and so glad the congresswoman can be here. you had to rush to get here. it is happening now. thank you for being here. take us inside what's happening on the floor of the house. >> a lot of us want to do our job and get in and vote. we also want to make sure we send the right message. we're following cdc guidelines. we've heard loud and clear from -- masks inside or outside and we're following the science. but we have a leader in nancy pelosi who still is fear mongering, who is still playing political theater and is forcing people basically to complete control issue. only when they are on camera to

wear these masks. when you go outside we're all together in the hallway and all in meetings together and yet only when we're on camera is she insisting that we continue the mask mandate. i think that if we're trying to send a message to people that once you get vaccinated there has to be a benefit to that. and when the science has been clear and announced we need to be consistent with that and stop being hypocrites on the house floor. >> harris: i want to ask you about the numbers of people fully vaccinated. we know from the joint address to congress the president gave that whole hall with many of you in it has been fully vaccinated. what does it look like on the hill? if you follow cdc guidance and you guys are trying to do that if you're vaccinated. >> i can't speak for the other members. i've been vaccinated since january and people have all had an option to be vaccinated.

so if they've been vaccinated -- no audio i'm not for mandatory vaccinations. make your own decision. if you made the decision to get the vaccination there should be a benefit. if you haven't that's a risk you're taking. >> harris: i know we're having a little bit of an issue technically with the congresswoman right now. i want to get to this. white house senior medical advisor admits he has been wearing a mask for the optics of it. the congresswoman was saying just there some of it according to her and other members of the house who are republicans say it is all about the cameras as well. let's watch this. >> i am now much more comfortable in people seeing me indoors without a mask. i mean, before the cdc made the recommendation change, i didn't want to look like i was giving mixed signals. being a fully vaccinated

person, the chances of my getting infected in an indoor setting is extremely low. >> if we aren't spreading the infection isn't it just theater? without the vaccine and wearing two masks, isn't that theater? >> harris: that's exactly what the congresswoman van dine was just saying was playing on the house floor. i want to move to jason chaffetz former chairman of the house oversight committee. when you are on the hill and you have been there so many times, jason. when you are on the hill everything turns to politics. what is the game and theater being played that the congresswoman is talking about with nancy pelosi potentially? >> i believe the mask mandate on the floor of the house for people vaccinated is purely political theater. remember, nancy pelosi needs to pass -- she wants to pass a $4 trillion some people want it to be a $7 trillion bill. the only way to do that is to say we're still in crisis mode.

there is nothing that radiates that imagery of crisis by having to wear masks. if she didn't have the bills she had to pass i don't think it would be there. and the hypocrisy. remember when nancy pelosi needed votes to put her into power, she brought people that were covid positive onto the floor of the house albeit behind plexiglas. the masks don't need to be there any more. >> harris: talk to me about what happens inside the house when something like this is going on. i don't know if you heard the congresswoman. it was great to get her to the camera as fast as we did. it is heated and this is devolving into a situation where the list is getting longer. you have eight republicans who are being warned that they have to wear their mask or they will slide into the territory of hundreds of dollars in fines. >> i think it is unconstitutional. the constitution specifically states that the house will set the rules but it also

explicitly says you cannot alter the compensation of the house of representatives. being unconstitutional never slowed nancy pelosi down in the past. it was ridiculous she did that against brian mast. lost his leg serving in afghanistan, the bronze star and you are going to fine him $500 because he is not wearing a mask? come on. >> harris: wow. quickly we saw senator rand paul going back and forth with dr. anthony fauci yesterday over this idea of the doctor saying well it is optics that i'm wearing the mask now. what message does it send when you are fully vaccinated. the top epidemiologist in the nation and you don't trust the vaccine. or is it some other message i'm missing? >> unintentionally they're telling people the vaccine doesn't actually work. i happen to believe that it does work. but i also believe in

individual responsibility, self-determination. the proper role of government is to inform the public and let them make those decisions. i hope conservatives and everybody will look at people across the street and not judge them as to whether or not they're wearing a mask just like i don't want to be judged the color of their skin or anything else. relax, everybody. if you want to wear a mask, do it. if you don't want to wear a mask, then you don't have to do it. >> harris: tell the speaker of the house. it's hot there. children aren't having the same discussions. they want their lives back and you can look at the numbers for proof of that. a lot of questions about children and masks. a teacher in wisconsin caught on video berating a student for not wearing one and a fourth grader speaking out against being forced to mask up. >> i don't care if you're vaccinated you little [bleep]. you are not a special person around here. you should hear how everybody talks about you. you are a jerk.

you are a jerk. grow up. have a little compassion for other people in the world. >> harris: she better never teach science, jason. she doesn't know it. >> there was another story out of florida where a teacher allegedly was arrested and charges have not been filed but the allegation was students were coming in not wearing their masks properly and spraying them with disinfect ant. i'm telling you, the impact that has happened on these kids still having to wear masks playing sports and soccer, lacrosse, that sort of thing, people are fed up with it. it's time to move on. there is still a threat, still a risk. wash your hands, be smart but you don't need to berate kids like that. that's not the proper way to win them over and allow them to engage in a decision making process that is positive. >> harris: i want to throw these up.

cdc director walensky now says. kids are handling it like the adults should be. 4.1 million teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17 made their decision with their families to get vaccinated already. that number was just 600,000 last week right after it was announced between 12 and 15-year-olds. we're seeing this rolling discussion happening in houses and it is not mandated. it is not a lockdown situation. these are people who are capable of making their own decisions and they're under 17. >> they can do it with their parents. if i had a child in that age category, i don't know, have they done enough testing of that? i would have to consult and work with a doctor that i trust and know in order to make that decision. but let's also understand and you and i talked about this 3-year-olds on airplanes don't have to wear a mask to protect themselves. that air in the airplane is supposed to be the safest air on the planet and yet they

still making 3-year-olds wear a mask? it's just not right. >> harris: it is fascinating. jason chaffetz thank you for being here and stepping in and reacting to congresswoman van dine as things were devolving on the house floor over masks. when a picture says it all, what this photo says about the deep divide among democrats over supporting israel. wow. somebody saying. president biden getting an earful from squad member rashida tlaib. what she said to each other. it's okay for russia to get a new pipeline but not the u.s. this is controversial. senator tom cotton from arkansas joins "the faulkner focus" next. >> they have shown themselves unable to tell the truth to the

american people. let me understand this. no keystone pipeline for the american people but pipelines for vladimir putin. i don't get it. veteran homeowners, this is the best time in history to turn your home equity into cash. because home values have climbed to all time highs. and so has your equity. turn it into cash now, while mortgage rates are near all time lows. the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value. you could take out more than $50,000. use it to improve your home. pay off high rate debt. pay for big expenses. or put it in the bank for real peace of mind. now's the time to use your va home loan benefit to get cash before mortgage rates begin to rise. call now. dignity. it demands a rapid covid test,

>> harris: the divide in the democratic party is boiling over and now involves the top of the food chain. president biden and a liberal squad member are seen having a very heated eight-minute talk on the tarmac. congresswoman rashida tlaib has had some harsh words for israel. she has even accused the president of taking orders from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. an aide to tlaib said she told biden palestinian humans rights are not a bargaining chip and must be protected.

not negotiated. the president's trip yesterday was met with a protest in dear born, michigan, home to one of the largest muslim-american communities in the united states. the biden administration and former president mike pence are sparring over who is to blame for the latest middle east violence. watch. >> aside from putting forward a peace proposal that was dead on arrival we don't think they did anything constructive to bring an end to the longstanding conflict in the middle east. >> instead of seeking peace through strength, president biden has offered weakness and ambivalence. every tepid statement uttered by the biden-harris administration is built on a false equivalent between israel and hamas. there is no moral equivalencesy between israel and the terrorist group hamas. >> harris: joining me now republican senator tom cotton of arkansas. the senator sits on the armed services intelligence and judiciary committees and is a veteran of the wars in iraq and afghanistan.

senator, thank you for being with me. you know, when you look at this, where do you see the responsibility? the word blame is just boy, we could go hours about that. apparently the democrats are ready to go there. >> it rests in one place only, with hamas and the palestinian islamic jihad. two terrorist organizations who are firing thousands of missiles and rockets into israeli cities. israel has to be able to defend itself and to destroy hamas's war machine. the democratic party increasingly is filled with people like tlaib and ocasio-cortez who are sympathizing with terrorists. i stand with the people of israel and their government as they protect themselves and try to destroy these terrorist organizations. >> harris: when you see the divide that is happening and that video, let's pop it back up. not really a friendly conversation as it has been described between the president

of the united states and the congresswoman tlaib as you just mentioned. what can you tell us about what's going on inside politics here? >> a large and growing anti-israel voice inside the democratic party. frankly some of them are anti-semitic. joe biden should be standing up to those anti-israel voices like tlaib and ocasio-cortez but it is obvious that he is caving in. he started by saying israel has a right to defend itself. a few days ago he supports a cease-fire and yesterday he gave benjamin netanyahu a stern talking to. moments said he expects a significant de-escalation today. who cares what he expects? the people have a right and expectation they protect themselves from thousands of rockets and missiles being fired into their cities and only de-escalate once they destroy hamas's war machine.

joe biden needs to stand up to the anti-israel voices in the democratic party. >> harris: quickly before we move on we opened this hour with our reporter trey yengst on the ground on the border of gaza and he was reporting to us that hamas -- i'm trying to figure out who they are trying to fight. they are shooting at the aid trucks jordan is trying to send for the palestinian people. hamas is vying for something but it's getting them killed. >> bill: the tlaib's and ocasio-cortez get on their high horse on hamas because after all the civilian deaths are a result solely of hamas's actions. they bomb the crossings where relief trucks are coming through. launch missiles and rockets from children's nurseries and hospitals hiding behind women and children. israel does every thing it can

to protect lives. hamas takes human lives including the palestinians who have died in this conflict. >> harris: a top campaign aide to clinton and the head of demand justice is calling for packing the u.s. supreme court and says president biden's commission to explore the possibility is doomed from the start. this as the commission holds its first public meeting today two days after the supreme court agreed the take up an abortion case. your top line thoughts. >> i hope the commission is doomed from the start. it was ill conceived from the start. there is nothing wrong with the composition of the supreme court. it has been at nine justices for over 150 years. packing the court because you don't like their results would destroy its legitimacy and fundamentally undermine the rule of law and our constitution. joe biden once again as with this conflict in israel is refusing to stand up to the radical left of his party. it is time that he finally --

somebody finally show a little bit of leadership and strength. >> harris: it feels like we're going backwards. we already had joe biden weigh in on this topic on the campaign trail and after he first became president a little more than 100 days ago. why does this keep cropping up? it sounds like somebody might want to get it done. can they? >> democrats want to pack the supreme court because they don't like the way the supreme court rules. not just that, either. they use this as a threat to try to intimidate the justices just like last year when chuck schumer held an a press conference on the steps of supreme court threatening justices by name if they didn't rule in the way he liked. one more assault the democrats are mounting on the fundamental institutions of our constitutional government. >> harris: i'll end with this topic. if they didn't have enough problems, the communication system for the colonial pipeline went down yesterday. nearly a week after the fuel company recovered from a crippling cyberattack that sparked panic buying and gas shortages and remains unclear

what caused the issue. colonial says barrels are continuing to flow despite the downed system. after halting the keystone pipeline on his first day in office president biden gave the approval for a controversial gas pipeline from russia to germany. critics argue this will only strengthen vladimir putin and destabilize eastern europe. senator ted cruz tweeted this. the biden administration is shaping up to be the most pro russia administration of the modern era. senator cotton, your reaction. >> joe biden is shutting down american pipelines like the keystone xl pipeline but helping construct pipelines for russia. >> harris: why? >> this is vladimir putin's number one priority to make western europe -- joe biden will allow this pipeline to go forward even though he has power that congress passed in a bipartisan basis to sanction

the owners and operators of this pipeline. i guess because he doesn't want to offend germany's delicate sensibilitys. shows you how joe biden is putting america last. shutting down our pipelines and letting vladimir putin build a pipeline to western europe despite his opportunity to stop it. >> harris: why would he do this? he knows -- it won't be pretty in 2022. whether in the house or the senate. the president has to see this. why would he shut down what makes us whole in the united states and then help the russians? why would he do that? >> joe biden spent the last four years pretending to be jack ryan out of a tom clancy novel for political reasons. now that joe biden is in office he is going back to his old ways of appeasing and codling russia. not just the pipeline. he gave them a no strings attached extension of a one-sided arms control agreement. he said he wouldn't sanction russia as much as they deserve

it for various cyberattacks on american companies and now he is rewarding vladimir putin with a summit next month in some luxury european capital. >> harris: why is the mainstream media on this? we heard for four years russia russia against former president trump. there was no there there. but biden does something like this and nothing, crickets? nothing? >> the mainstream media, like the. now he isn't in office they go back to attacking israel for defending itself. >> harris: senator tom cotton. covered a lot with you today. thank you. president biden joking about running over a reporter with a truck when asked about israel during the ford test drive. our panel -- power panel weighs

in. if the media reaction shows a double standard. first 100 miles per hour speeds during a high-speed chase along the southern border. a smuggling chase that ended up in a field. plus fox news joins the texas department of public safety for a private ride along. we're live at the border for all of it. >> we are seeing stash houses within the communities because of the surge of migrants. take cash out of your home.beo the newday 100 va loan lets you borrow up to 100% percent of your home's value. with today's rates near all-time lows and home values at record highs, you can take out $50,000 or more and lower your payments by $600 a month. the newday 100 va loan. only from newday usa.

>> harris: new york attorney general's investigation into the trump organization's business dealings is no longer purely civil in nature. the a.g.'s office has announced it will investigate the organization in a criminal capacity along with the manhattan d.a. house had -- moving on now hate bill was drafted in response to the rise of violence against

asian-americans during the pandemic. president biden is expected to sign the bill. in louisiana authorities say they believe four deaths are linked to a massive storm striking the south on monday. the city of lake charles hit with nearly 18 inches of rain in 24 hours. border patrol agents rounding up more people crossing illegally into our country along the southern border including the recent arrests of two more convicted child sex offenders. fox news has obtained exclusive video of a dangerous high speed chase during a suspected smuggling operation in texas. those chases have become more and more common as you know. we report it all. alex hogan is live for us in rio grande valley in texas where i understand the border patrol agents just apprehended two more illegal people coming into our country. >> that's right. we're joining the texas department of public safety on

a ride along today. we were hearing of a group of eight people running. we tried following with their car and we stopped and got out of the vehicle and ran eventually with the texas department of public safety and border agents being able to apprehend these two people you see behind me. just showing one of the many busy mornings here in the rio grande valley. another thing that we're seeing more and more are high-speed car chases. that is something we saw just on monday. members of the texas department of public safety giving fox news this footage. the driver hitting more than 100 miles per hour on the highway and back roads. thankfully somehow not causing any accidents. the car was racing down the road around noon on monday before the man wrecked his car in a field. he then hopped out, running into the crops. within about 20 minutes the group there of law enforcement was able to take that person into custody. efforts these agents say were

possible through the texas department operation lone star program. just one of the many smuggling cases we've seen. take a listen. >> these smugglers are getting more desperate and brazen in what they're doing and no regard for the safety of the migrants that they are smuggling as well as the public. >> this morning we saw a group of more than 100 migrants, some from honduras including a group of kids traveling alone. others came from albania and romania taking boats across the pacific to enter through mexico. we're seeing some of these border agents walk these two people off into the woods but there are still others out there who ran away again. a group of eight people. now, one thing to note that's interesting as we're riding along with the texas department of public safety they have a computer in their vehicle that gives them notifications of when people are moving around. all motion detected and the

trees many have cameras on them giving notifications again this is an all hands on deck effort as these officers say they are simply overwhelmed. >> harris: they're outnumbered. good to see you. thank you for the report. a young child's life cut short after being stabbed to death and found on a texas street. dallas police are accusing a teenage suspect of abducting the 4-year-old from his room hours before he vanished. casey stiegel on the story live for us in dallas. >> the most chilling part of the story, part of the crime caught on tape. a warning now to our viewers it is disturbing. the daily mail newspaper has obtained nanny kam video from inside the child's bedroom that night which shows the kidnapping. 4-year-old cash sound asleep and then watch, snatched from his bed. hours later and just blocks away, a jogger stumbled across his lifeless body in the middle

of the road. the toddler had been stabbed to death. 18-year-old darian brown was arrested. more charges are likely pending further tests. he was reportedly wearing an ankle monitor at the time of his arrest for a prior offense. this is him being booked into the jail. one of the biggest mysteries investigators won't say whether brown knew the young victim or had any connections to his family. the victim's biological father has been missing since march leading cash and his twin brother to be cared for by a female acquaintance. something the boy's biological mother said she knew nothing about. the teen in custody. his family is speaking saying he has been treated in the past for mental issues but again they, too, are puzzled. everyone here searching for a motive at this point.

harris. >> harris: thank you. democrat-led cities facing a surge in violence amid the defund the police push. it's not just a push. in new york city they're doing it. new york mayor bill deblasio on the hot seat as shootings and stabbings are soaring. are far left policies driving it? >> let's be clear, the original cause of all this is all the effects of the coronavirus.

>> harris: a crime crisis is gripping our nation's largest city, cover of the "new york post" today it's pleading stop the blood shed and highlighting the random shooting murder of an 80-year-old military veteran. this as many asking where is the mayor to lead the city on this? new york city mayor bill deblasio supported defunding police department by $1 billion and has repeatedly blamed the pandemic for the violence as recently as last month. >> our court system is not functioning right now and that is making it bad for everyone and we need to bring our courts back. the fact that the court system

is not working, the economy is not working. people pent up for months and months. so many issues underlying this challenge. >> harris: the post says this, to stop the mad violence new york city needs a mayor who will do something. i want to bring in jessica tarlov fox news contributor and guyana called well political analyst. 15 people in the most recent weekend shot. we have a series of subway stabbings as well. the military veteran who was shot randomly as i mentioned as well. i don't live in new york city but it is devolving to the point where people don't want to really be out after a certain hour. >> it reminds me of my hometown chicago where you see this kind of violence day-to-day. let's think about what defund the police and sentiment where it has gotten us. shootings up 97% in new york.

homicides 44% up in new york. just this year alone violent assault 25%. this is what this is getting us. not just a policy measure and actual reallocating of funding as some may call it. it is the spirit of what it means when it comes to law enforcement officer. a lot of police officers aren't getting involved in new york when situations are occurring before their face because they don't know if they'll be called a racist or if they are going to lose their job. they have no idea. now, i'm all for police accountability and sure everyone understands that. police need to be held accountable when they do something wrong. but there can be policy measures that impact how they do their job. that has to do. new york and chicago must do better and for those who continue to push this mantra need to stop it. we need our police. >> harris: as i come to you, jessica, the military veteran who was shot and still alive but shot is part of so much that is going on.

you heard him saying 90% pickup in violent crimes. the city is difficult enough under the pressure but now it is opening up. the pandemic you hear the mayor blaming all this. he can go forward. where is the leadership? >> i don't think anyone would disagree with the fact that mayor deblasio hasn't been showing much leadership and hasn't through both of his terms. i do live in new york city. it hits close to home for me. what i'm paying attention to is watching the issue of crime in the mayoral race. lots of candidates who worked with mayor deblasio and they are all running away from deblasio policies. he is not popular or liked and people are looking for a change in terms of what we have in the mayor's office especially when it comes to issues like crime. >> harris: quickly, i want to come back to you. when you look at the map it's

predominantly democrat-led cities. i've argued with a lot of people on this very show about why that is. but why is it? >> well, why is it that the democrat-led cities where policies often benefit the criminal? i'm talking about i look at my hometown of chicago. kim foxx dropped all charges on felony counts over almost 30,000 cases which was much different than her predecessor. you look at those statistics and the fact that people running for district attorney in the city of new york are saying hey, we are going to lighten the load. people shouldn't be going to jail for some of these things. maybe there is some need to look at some policies and say maybe it's too harsh but at the same time that's not what we've been seeing across the board and why there has to be a level of consistency there. criminals need to fear going to jail which they seemingly don't fare these days. >> harris: i don't know how that's a policy thing for

democrats. jessica you are talking about running away from deblasio so people can win. that was my line. i think that's what they are doing it for. if it's not working why would they implement these policies in the first place. meanwhile, president biden jokingly threatens to run over a reporter who asked him about israel while test driving a car at the ford plant in michigan yesterday. watch. >> can i ask you a quick question of israel? >> president biden: no, you can't. >> harris: just teasing. if that had been a republican president, if that had been anybody else can you imagine the blowback in the media today? >> and harris, you and i were talking on my podcast this week talking about how there seemingly isn't a bit of accountability when it comes to a lot of journalists these days. we can talk about what it may be like but we have actual

evidence what happened when trump said i can go on fifth avenue and shoot someone and everyone would love me. it was front page news and the press called him deplorable and he said he was joking when he said it. i would imagine you have the same level of accountability with another sitting president who made comments about attacking the press before. i should do this or that to you. he said he was joking, fine. still there hasn't been the same level of accountability we saw with trump on joe biden. >> harris: is this okay for the president to be joking about running over a member of the media? >> i think this comparison is unfair for him to say there is no accountability. joe biden talks about the importance of a free press. >> harris: why not take more of our questions? >> harris, i had said a number of times don't even try it,

>> the "washington post" said they would take away the lying meter because joe biden was in office. they don't need it anymore when joe biden has lied on a number of occasions already. how is there accountability still? i don't get it. it has to be consistent across the board. >> let me please get this out. donald trump stood up at his rallies and pointed at people would worked for cnn and called them fake news and enemy of the people. he yucked it up with vladimir putin who kills members of the press and kills people who oppose him. >> harris: wait, you are comparing any president of the united states to vladimir putin? i'm confused by that. >> i'm saying -- >> harris: let's just pretend that joe biden learned from the past mistakes of other presidents. let's pretend that he actually

means it when he says that he loves the press but he is not -- he hasn't given that accessibility. he just hasn't. yesterday he told an off color joke he said. all right. we have to run. both of you thank you very much. thank you for watching.
