>> bill: go on safari look out for the hypos. >> martha: i went on one like that. never seen anything like that? a waterski hippo. >> bill: that comes from our friends in kenya. nice to be with you. we'll do a dealer's choice tomorrow. >> martha: bye, guys. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. president biden says america is systemically racist and the president is warning that our democracy is in peril. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the president today is expected to ask americans to come together to root out systemic racism. he will be in tulsa, oklahoma to mark the 100 year anniversary of the race massacre that left more than 300 people dead. that message comes one day after issuing this warning about democracy here in the united states. >> president biden: that's the

soul of america. and i believe it's the soul worth fighting for, democracy itself is in peril here at home and around the world. what we do now, what we do now, how we honor the memory of the fallen, will determine whether or not democracy will long endure. >> harris: there is more with president biden today as you know he is embracing a fiercely liberal progressive agenda calling on the left to defund the police, that continues, despite rising crime rates in cities. take a look at this. murders and shootings surging in cities here, chicago, minneapolis, portland, oregon, new york city over the past year, the list is longer. jackie heinrich is live in the nation's capital. >> good morning. following that stark warning about the future of democracy,

president biden urged americans to reflect on the deep roots of racial terror and recommit to eradicating systemic racism ahead of his trip to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the tulsa massacre where a white mob killed 300 black residents and decimated businesses. the white house released new details on economic proposals to close the racial wealth gap. it includes $10 billion to revitalize black communities, $15 billion for transportation. $5 billion for affordable housing. $41 billion for small business programs and a tax credit to attract private investment to be included in the infrastructure plans hashed out with senate republicans. although he has pushed to make racial equity a priority for the administration. police reform negotiations are moving slowly and the budget

proposal contained no provisions to forgive student loans prompting push back from the naacp. white house frames it as impactful and no slavery rep praitions saying the issue should be studied. democrats demanded reparation yesterday. >> what happened in this community and what happened to my people is untenable. >> we'll say to america that we, too, are america. we, too, should be repaired, restored. >> reparations today, today, today. >> it marks the first time a president has taken part in the remembrance of the tulsa massacre. there may be trouble ahead for the plan to hand out federal benefits according to race. two court rulings last week reportedly said that covid relief prioritized for women

and racial minorities was unlawful. harris. >> harris: thank you very much. we'll work that into our conversation now with jasen chaffetz who joins me, former house oversight committee chairman and fox news contributor. thank you for being with me. first of all, the president about to tell the nation that america is systemically racist and that we have to fix it. your top line thoughts. >> i don't think america is systemically racist. i think there is still racism in america and it needs to be rooted out but the plan and the solutions that the president is putting forward i think actually divides america more than it unites us. we're about freedom and liberty and self determination and a land of opportunity. we are not a land where some people get more advantage than others. and there has got to be a pushback on what the president is trying to do with

reparations? that's not the solution. i look at what senator tim scott is trying to do with opportunity zones. no matter your race, no matter your background you have opportunity to succeed in this country. that's what america is all about. >> harris: i was reading about other places around the world that are also looking at their nations and saying yeah, there is racism there. they've had it in their history. canada, the bodies of 215 little beautiful children, indigenous children found near that school, one of the many in that nation's history where they would put children to be realigned, if you will. there is other wording they would use to put them in society. i mean, nations on earth have history and if we know that history, we won't be so doomed to repeat it. what do you think the president's goal is here by telling the nation that it needs to fix what he says is broken based on history? >> well, i think we have a history and not all of our history in the united states is

a pretty one. and i'm not afraid of acknowledging that and learning about that. but to push it to the degree and direction that the president is trying to do i think is wrong. i look at today's immigration policies. i think people understand that we need to protect our borders. but when he doesn't, when he just allows this free flow of people into the country and gives them advantage over americans, that again divides us. so i don't know exactly what his goal is. i think he is listening to the far radical left side of the equation who are asking for things that i just don't think are palatable. i think america is tired of being told it's racist. i know i'm not racist and my family is not racist and my friends aren't racist. if they were racist i wouldn't hang out with them. america is tired of that. create opportunities and allow people to thrive and stop taking american's money and

handing it out the way they see fit and do it in an equal basis. if you keep telling people that we're divided, guess what, we're going to be divided? that is not the vision of martin luther king or other civic leaders. i hear it from biden more than anybody else. >> harris: move to this. the republican strategy now i understand for winning back the house in 2022 could be to zero in on the rise in violent crime across the country. they don't -- one new mexico republican is running for an open congressional seat and he is already out with ads going after his opponent. let's watch. >> she supports the most dangerous legislation in america, as albuquerque faces record numbers of homicides, legislation that defunds and dismantles the police.

murderers, walking free. >> harris: how is this going to be the message further wider in the party for republicans? >> well first and foremost when the president goes out and talks about his need to root out systemic racism, understand that a lawless society, one that has less police and less protection disproportionately hits communities of color. these are the ones that actually suffer the consequences of a police force that has been defunded. look at what is happening in those big cities. as far as a political message, law and order, standing true for law and order. go ahead, democrats. if you want that discussion with americans republicans will run the table. >> harris: the things i take notes on. i want to make sure i hear you right. it's an important point of view. the move to defund the police,

an unintended consequence of the left and maybe not looking at it this way. what you're saying is inherently that is racially incentive and might be racist depending how far you go with it. if you take away resources to protect people of color. >> that's exactly right. the men and women who live in these communities who need the protection the most. look at the inner city schools. when new york city has to get rid of all these officers that are there to provide some sort of help and security. in washington, d.c. same type of thing. guess what? those are predominantly black communities that they are trying to defund the same police of. >> harris: i hope people are listening to that. that part of the conversation we'll see again what jason is saying. british intelligence services are saying it is feasible that covid leaked from that lab in wuhan, china. england now reassessing the origins of the deadly pandemic and reporters in the u.s. are

admitting they dismissed the laboratory leak possibility just because former president trump and other republicans were pushing it. watch. >> i think a lot of people have egg on their face. it was an idea that was first put forward by mike pompeo, secretary of state, donald trump, and look, some things may be true even if donald trump said them. a lot of people on the political left made the media made the mistake. if tom cotton said something it's not true. that's not right. a lot leaped to dismiss the lab leak theory where it was coming from. we don't know how covid started is the reality. >> harris: i want to get your reaction to the snap back to reality of maybe we better look at china's communist government on covid and i want to go deeper on something. first your reaction to that. >> i'm glad jonathan carl has woke up to the idea that the warnings that were coming out a year ago weren't just made up.

we have the best biggest baddest military and intelligence services on the planet. there is a reason why people like secretary pompeo and the president of the united states donald trump were saying them. this isn't like a cat that was in a cage and did it get out or not. that is a virus. i don't know how you begin to track this. >> harris: so woke to the truth of origins of covid in the wuhan laboratory if we can get to the details. i don't know what they'll let us have access to all this time much later. i want to talk about specifically, though, that lab. former fda commissioner scott gotlieb said this about laboratory leaks in general. watch. >> these kinds of lab leaks happen all the time actually even here in the united states we've had mishaps. in china the last six known outbreaks of sars 1 have been out of labs including the last outbreak that was a pretty extensive outbreak that china

wouldn't disclose it came out of a lab. it is important to understand what the possibility that it came out of a lab so we can focus more international attention trying to get better inventories around these labs. >> harris: why was it so hard to take a look this time if it happened before. apparently it happens enough it is not even a couple. they say six or more. >> that's scary. hollywood makes movies about these types of things. to have the former fda commissioner saying it happened for six of these major outbreaks out there is pretty scary stuff. so if the serntss for disease control and our nation as a whole is going to actually put more control mechanisms in place, we better understand worldwide where these are and a virus getting out is scary. that scared me. >> harris: i know you were chairman of oversight. the intel reports as members of

congress would be able to read some things. if that's happening in this country do we have to let other countries know we're also having lab leaks? how does it go? >> i do think you do. i think if you have a lab leak that could affect the world health. and i look at scientific america has a new article out just now about the rise of fungus and how it kills 1.5 million people around the world. i never heard that before. i do think congress plays a role both the house and senate providing overnight and why aren't the democrats having any types of hearings about these things if it's so prevalent and millions of people die every year? why aren't they doing that? why don't they have priorities to go do an investigation on that? why not a special commission? >> harris: i just asked the question because you hear journalists now saying maybe it had former president trump actually saying it and maybe that's where they are, too. maybe they don't have to prove his questions were good ones,

the former president. jason chaffetz. good to see you. thank you. texas democrats staging a dramatic late night walk-off to block a proposed election reform bill. now the governor is threatening to punish allstate legislators. how he plans to do that. plus president trump's former chief of staff says there is more to come with hunter biden. but will the media pay any attention? hello, hello, are they awake? >> no, come on. >> baseless conspiracy theories about joe biden and his son hunter. gillette proglide. five blades and a pivoting flexball designed to get virtually every hair on the first stroke. so you're ready for the day with a fresh face for a fresh start. for a limited time get a 5th cartridge free. so, you have diabetes, here are some easy rules.

>> harris: former white house

chief of staff mark meadows says watch out. there is more to come with hunter biden. this follows the reports of evidence which appears to show president biden met with his son's foreign business associates while he was vice president. the "new york post" editorial board writes this. the biden family has been trading on joe biden's high offices for decades making millions of dollars off their presumed influence and access. yet somehow news about it all is never quote, unquote, fit to print even though democracy dies in darkness. in fact, the media have long down played the controversy surrounding the president's son hunter and his laptop. >> he talks about hunter biden's hard drive. he talks about conspiracy theories. >> a smear on joe biden comes from the kremlin. >> most of those charges are unverified. >> i won't even say them.

>> you ever wish you had apple care? >> that would have been -- >> harris: we get the wait to ask the tough questions. power panel now matt gorman and roger fisk. former obama staffer and senior aide for john kerry. matt, your reaction to all this. >> sure. it is a troubling trend with the media. something doesn't fit their narrative they don't just ignore it they suppress it, call it misinformation or disinformation. we're seeing this as you mentioned in the previous segment with the idea covid could have come out of the wuhan lab. it was ignored or dismissed as a conspiracy theory for over a year and you had people again tom cotton, journalists like josh rogue an say it could have happened and finally the biden administration and media are forced to change their tune.

i am not surprised but it is pure hypocrisy. >> harris: roger, explain to me how it goes. so if the emails that we've seen through the reporting, the post reporting and it turns out to be more from that lab top which hunter first said wasn't sure if it was his, whatever. we think it is his now because he says. but if we see that there was a connection between joe biden and his business associates while he was vice president, what happens next? >> first off harris thank you so much for having me. i love doing shows with matt. first off the messenger mr. meadows is not going to be anyone i nominate for a poster boy in terms of credibility. fond of making jokes about president obama coming from kenya. from john boehner he got down on his knees and begged not to be punished after not supporting him for speaker and former president trump got mr. meadows to disavoi his own position on healthcare.

that's the messenger on this. >> harris: we've also talking about reporting but about the emails, too. there are details in there. i'm asking a straight-up question. >> let's talk about that. first off you say there is no media paying attention and then play a compilation of media talking about it. never been a shortage of stories about it. i think the president has taken the exact tone. he will go hands off on the d.o.j. if there is owing is there let it be brought to a case. clearly the d.o.j. under the former administration was willing to take on political chores like this and single out people for investigations or take on the president's defense when it came to rape accusation and things like that. if there was something specifically there the trump administration had at least a year of this found laptop that could have, would have, should have situation. >> harris: i saw what you did

there. the media were joking about it. not the same thing as saying is there anything there and investigate it and make sure the family of the president was not -- the former president was not, you know, benefiting from his high office. they are not asking those questions. >> president -- >> the "new york post" wasn't joking about it. >> harris: we'll see what's in the emails from the laptop still coming. texas governor greg abbott is threatening to cut funding for the state legislature. he tweeted this. no pay for those who abandoned their responsibilities coming after democratic lawmakers walked off the house floor sunday night denying republicans the chance to vote of a proposed bill to tighten election laws across the state. lieutenant governor dan patrick

says the controversy around the bill is overblown. watch. >> we simply want to stop some rogue counties like harris county by houston that created 24 hour voting. it is against the law. two, they also had drive-in voting. it's against the law. we can't have one county running all the other countries. we want to make sure we have full verification of mail-in ballots making sure people who say they are going to vote and are voting are the people who say they are. this is not voter suppression. >> harris: matt. >> let's talk about the facts here. this bill expands early voting. it adds an additional hour to each of texas's two weeks of early voting. texas has two weeks of early voting. joe biden's date of delaware no early voting, none. it guarantees the polls are open on election day for 12 hours across the state and that counties of certain size have

to livestream their counting processes for the sake of transparency. there is a lot of misinformation. a lot of democrats not dealing with facts. >> harris: i'm glad you started there. i will ask my team to pop it on the wall. we had some of that already. early voting critics say makes it difficult to vote early. it required early voting for nine hours per day and when it comes to mail-in voting that is still allowed. there are just new restrictions on unsolicited applications. the fact versus the fiction here. saying the bill does little to address ballot security and it actually addresses cybersecurity verification and transparency issues. roger, where are democrats going to gain ground on this by walking away? >> it is a bare knuckles legislative technique, right? you deny them a quorum and it's

not unusual in state legislatures. >> harris: why not debate it? >> if ultimately you have a governor and more importantly a lieutenant governor that wants to work the legislature they can use a rule if they think it's wrong. i do think it's wrong. >> harris: which part do you think is wrong? >> one said the 2020 election was smooth and security. when public officials create a solution for a problem that doesn't exist it doesn't promote strength or confidence. >> democrats love blocking bills but when republicans do in d.c. they subvert democracy and using a jim crow thing. doesn't seem consistent to me. >> harris: gentlemen, great to see you. roger and matt, thank you. now to the ongoing crisis at the southern border. want to check in on this. where state and federal law enforcement as we know continue to pursue dangerous smugglers.

like this one in this high speed chase reportedly carrying more than 100 migrants in one large vehicle. one law enforcement source shared a tik tok video that shows drug smugglers cutting in and out of traffic and border patrol agents go after them. here is andy biggs. >> bill: don't ever forget most democrats campaigned for president on an open borders policy. this is what an open borders policy looks like. if you be humane close our border. five or six things they could do to get the border under control in two weeks' time. >> harris: he joins us periodically to tell us what's going on. it is devolving day-by-day. aishah hosni is live on the border in mission, texas. >> it's incredible pictures and videos we're getting really on

a daily basis. texas department of public safety officers have been involved in more than a 300 -- 300 vehicle pursuits since march here in the rio grande valley area. i want to show you pictures again here. take a look of a rollover crash from just yesterday in williston county 70 miles northeast of where we are now. the driver of that black s.u.v. carrying 17 migrants when he crashed and rolled over. four of them fled. one teenager was trapped inside and the rest detained. here is a video shared by a law enforcement force who shows drug smugglers inside the vehicle cutting in and out of traffic being chased by border patrol agents. video is set to music and shared online. it comes as we're learning more and more americans have been apprehended smuggling dution across the border since the start of the pandemic. u.s. citizens were actually caught trying to smuggle in

drugs almost seven times more often than mexican citizens between october 2020 and march 31st. it's way up from the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years when it was just twice as often. now trafficking experts are saying that it is happening because the u.s. border is only open to essential travel and u.s. citizens and as we exclusively shared with you a couple of weeks ago the mexican cartels are recruiting americans, sometimes teenagers, to do their dirty work and harris, out here in the rio grande river i can tell you there has been a major shift. ever since the u.s. coast guard showed up here with their boats about a week ago, we've been told by some sources that the smugglers are now pushing east this way to where there are fewer resources. they are very savvy and they respond to whatever law enforcement is doing at the border. >> harris: they are also extremely dangerous. they kill people. >> they are.

>> harris: for the living -- and so when you say that more americans are being worked with, hired by the cartels, that is a particularly troubling detail in all of this that american citizens will help. >> and you think about the kinds of americans. just about a month ago we reported to you that teenagers were being recruited, 17 and 18 year old. their parents have no idea what's going on when they take mom and dad's s.u.v. to pick up migrants. >> harris: democratic senator who wants college athletes to be able to make money off their name and likeness joining with senator bernie sanders to say college athletes should also be able to unionize. it will get interesting. after criticizing the woke curriculum at his daughter's high school, one dad says he may not be able to attend her

the superintendent the cumberland. and essentially that kicked off me trying to work with the school initially on the themes to correct. >> harris: what do you mean a white supremacy letter? >> we were sent an equity letter on the heels of the george floyd death and it said white supremacy in their five times and called us all white supremacists. we didn't know it but that's what we were called. >> harris: you fought back how? >> i sent a letter, email to the board and superintendent saying peaceful protest, first amendment in the midst of minneapolis burning to the ground. also i said you could have mentioned our police department. we're the safest county in the annual report and our guys are great. we have had a top notch police department. until represently where the

equity committee has defunded the cumberland police department. we pay a lot of taxes here but for tern el. we have had a number of folks quit. giving notice, quitting, left or leaving and half the force is now gone which makes us all less safe than we were a year ago. >> harris: just to further the point on that the way that the money comes into play is they don't fill those positions back is what i understand you saying. i want to get this back to the school. there are a lot of parents in cumberland, the town where you live right now in maine who you told me previously really fear the cancel culture and they don't speak up but they are supporting you for doing it, why? >> i mean, this sounds weird. i'm the tip of the sword. i have had a number of business leaders and people across the town pull me aside and say i believe in what you are doing. i can't say anything because cancel culture is so strong here and the woke mob, the

trolls go after everybody. so i got pushed and i pushed back hard. >> harris: you go to the school board. the superintendent via email you said because you couldn't get anybody to actually meet with you. and you tell them what about the curriculum and the school district that you want changed? >> the biggest thing i can't speak for martin luther king junior but i think he would ashamed of what this administration is doing. they're teaching kids as young as kindergarten to hate their white skin and i was brought up the content of your character is the biggest piece, doesn't matter the color of your skin. >> harris: your daughters are about to graduate. first there were strict conditions and now you can see a band play and do all that. what is their reaction, your daughters? >> they just want to be normal seniors and keep their head down and frankly i had no plans of creating a scene. i just wanted to be a dad and

that's all i did from the very beginning this last year. just wanted to be a dad and tell my school that look, we needed indication not indoctrination. an education group we're trying to rally parents across the country to fight all of this crt that's happening. >> harris: can understand all that you are doing as a dad and appreciate your time today. congratulations on the graduation and the next adventures that face your daughters. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> harris: wow, he went through a lot. okay. senator bernie sanders and his democratic colleague chris murphy have a new bill saying it is for college athletes and workers and they able to unionize. the ncaa says in a quote,

college athletes and are students and not employees of their college or university. this bill would directly undercut the purpose of college, earning a degree. hillary vaughn of fox business is live at montgomery college in rockville, maryland. good to see you, hillary. >> good to be with you. colleges already have a tough time trying to make sure their athletes are students first and athletes second. now this new bill being introduced in the senate would make those college athletes employees first. right now college athletes are not paid but many of them do get those scholarships that help them get through universities. but they can't make money on the side selling their name, image and likeness, the national collegiate athletic association has the rules to keep players eligible for amateur sports. a former tennis player at the university of massachusetts tells me the restrictions are

too strict. >> they go so beyond doing posts for instagram. when i was in college i couldn't teach tennis in summertime. that doesn't require me to have tons of instagram followers. >> the ncaa says they are open to reforming those rules but do not think unions are in the best interests of their students. a former assistant wrestling coach at ohio university tells me there is a better option without going full blown union. >> i always said there needs to be a representative association. it doesn't have to be a union. i think we need to walk before we can run and again, you know, if you ask me today i would rather not see college athletes become paid employees of the university. >> one athletic administrator said getting big sports brands involved could be problematic. you could see big sports names

luring high school students still in high school with lucrative deals for their name and likeness for the recruitment process which would essentially cut colleges completely out of it. harris. >> harris: it's complicated. look at the scandal that happened in college basketball in ncaa and the coaches caught up in that. the union seems another fold. they will have to pay dues to the union. what will they do with all that money? i have questions, you know i do. good to see you, hillary. thank you. defense secretary lloyd austin is hitting back at republicans who criticize the woke military recruitment ads he is doing. we'll tell you what he is saying now. then there is this. >> i'll try again. a lot of people i mentor, i eat no for breakfast. >> harris: vice president kamala harris sharing her

>> no. listen, i tell a lot of people i mentor i eat no for breakfast. have i been told many times during my career things from oh, you are too young, it is not your turn. they are not ready for you. no one like you has done it before. i've heard those things many times over the course of my career but i didn't listen. >> harris: vice president kamala harris sharing career advice for young men and women. tune out the naysayers and eat no for breakfast. let's bring in jimmy failla. >> good to be back. i want to jump in. i do believe that kamala eats no for breakfast. every morning kamala, can you visit the southern border? no. kamala, can you get through memorial day weekend without sending out a tone deaf tweet?

no. she is a participation trophy vice president. i'm so sick of her building herself up like she is some type of triumph. she the only person to make it to the top by proving her haters right. her haters were like nobody will like her. she dropped out of the primaries when she was polling behind the taliban. yet still wound up vice president but think about it. she still wound up as vice president and her story sends a powerful message to little girls everywhere. you call a man racist and believe his assault accuser you can grow up to be his vice president some day. give me a break. >> harris: i don't know what you had for breakfast. defense secretary austin is pushing back at critics for the military to become more inclusive and diverse. >> it is not too soft. it will never be too soft. i think our add ver source would like to capital eyes on

talking points like that and try to use the russians. i welcome them to do that. what lloyd austin is focused on is the defense of our nation. >> harris: this comes after the u.s. army released a series of woke recruitment videos that they say make military service seem more relatable. senator ted cruz said this earlier on "the faulkner focus". >> the men and women of our military, our soldiers and sailors and airmen and marines are the toughest. most ferocious fighting force on the face of the planet and the reason we're free and have our rights. and what we're saying is we're saying democratic politicians and these woke lefty bureaucrats and lefty media reporters trying to destroy the american military, trying to turn it into frankly a bunch of pansies. >> harris: when i talked to senator ted cruz last month his whole point was our enemies

will use it against us. that's exactly what lloyd austin said. >> he owned it. he said the quiet part out loud and should terrify everybody to see the military getting run like a college campus. >> harris: he doesn't mind. >> he doesn't get it. no safe spaces on a battlefield unfortunately. i'm all for inclusion as are you. when it comes to our military it needs to be a merit-based inclusion. no world where our enemies will stand down because we put pronounce in military bios. it is war. i'm so sick of them trying to portray it than something other than it is. to cruz's point we're the most fear some fighting force on the planet and you can't if you put feelings ahead of facts. >> harris: i've watched enough of those recruitment ads now, look, it is about incentivizing people to be part of something and i say growing up military

brat it is already great. you are incentivizing people to take part in something that's great for a great nation and many protect us through our law enforcement. 19% of law enforcement across america is former military. that's good stuff that you could sell. >> i come from a big military background and law enforcement family. i might be a cop if it weren't for a background check. i'm being silly but that's what is supposed to make it inclusive is what you are fighting for. the freedoms you are defending. it was never about what you come from. it was about what you are protecting. and that's what is so frustrating about this because again it is our military and we don't seem to be prioritizing. if you want to incentivize people to defend the country stop telling them it is racist and oppressive and start being honest, the most tolerant and inclusive society in the world and always worth fighting for. >> harris: amen, look at you. no for breakfast for the vice
