8:00 am
fence and she said get out of there. >> martha: she shoved him over the ball. it was about to get her rescue dr*g there. you are not getting my rescue dog. >> 17, right? great to be with you. i'll see you at 3:00 today. >> martha: "the faulkner focus" is right now. greg abbott officially declaring a disaster at our southern border. accusing the biden administration of ignoring the spiraling crisis. you are in "the faulkner focus". abbott's declaration will allow more resources to push back the surge of illegal immigrants and he is sounding the alarm saying the biden white house is doing nothing to protect americans living along our border. heartbreaking new video now
8:01 am
shows a 5-year-old boy pleading with smugglers not to abandon him after they dumped him just steps from the texas border. [child screaming and crying] >> harris: don't leave me. that little one was holding a teddy bear. tom homan former acting ice director with his take coming up. first to aishah hasnie live along the texas/mexico border. >> the cries are gut wrenching. multiply that boy by 17,000. how many unaccompanied minors, children were found by border patrol agents in april alone. this is what's happening at the border every single day. this boy's case it was really his screams to the point where he was losing his voice that led border patrol agents right
8:02 am
to him. we don't know much about him where he came from, what country. the woman who left him there told a reporter his parents were already in the u.s. and this comes a day after governor greg abbott issued a disaster declaration which allows him to send allstate and local resources to the border and harris he isn't just dealing with the influx of migrants but a surge in drugs being moved by the cartels. yesterday a law enforcement source told me during a boat ride he said there is more of them, the cartels, than there are of us and it begs the question, harris, who really is in control of the border here? here is texas representative michael cloud and his answer. >> the cartels control the -- all of the southern border. that's just a matter of fact. we have turned our border patrol to the last mile delivery system for the cartels. that is horrific by any sort of
8:03 am
standard. for someone sworn to protect and uphold the laws of the land. >> there was a congressional delegation touring the area here yesterday. there is another one set to arrive in about an hour bipartisan delegation which will include democrats cuellar and sinema. >> harris: tom homan is with me now. first of all when you see that video of the little one holding his teddy bear screaming at those smugglers who left him behind i know you will tell us that you are not surprised by that but it is heart shaking. >> it is heart shaking. and why i fight so hard, harris and why i have gotten -- i get emotional on this network sometime. almost 35 years i've dealt with many sad things. i've dealt with dying children. the good things is the border patrol agents are rescuing the children. i've been down there four times this year and they jumped in
8:04 am
the river to save dying children and jump in the river unable to save a child and they drowned. the men and women of border patrol or the only people of humanity on the board. tell me that's humane to watch that video. children being dropped over the wall. abandoned on ranchs. most inhumane policy i've seen. thank god for the men and women in green saving 4,000 lives last year. >> harris: you know, i do want to ask this because i know that you have said that a national security risk is the next step in all of this and that it would be great, are we there yet? >> we're there. that's why i think governor abbott is declaring a national emergency. his troopers have seized a record amount of fentanyl. that spreads all over the country killed over 64,000 americans during the last crisis on the border.
8:05 am
the reply, the criminal cartels control the mexican/u.s. border and joe biden administration handed it to them. they used this humanitarian crisis. push hundreds of families and tie up the border patrol and then get the drugs in. not how many people on the f.b.i. watch list have gotten in successfully. it is a severe national security crisis. >> harris: we're so focused on the little one who has been abandoned by smugglers. i imagine everybody was focused on that child and that creates a perforated area, one that you can easily cross through for cartels and smugglers. i totally get what you are saying tom homan. that becomes then a necessary distraction because you have to go to that child. boy, it sounds like they know what they are doing in terms of poking holes at us. i want to get to this. "the new york times" has obtained documents revealing
8:06 am
president biden's plans to overhaul the immigration system. apparently he is about to push to allow more people into the united states aiming to undo much of president trump's legacy. former white house senior advisor steven miller with this searing response to the move. bottom line, you have wealthy and privileged white house staff working to demolish the protections ordinary working people rely upon without an ounce of empathy or concern for their well-being. tom, your reaction. >> i agree with steve. i think of another thing. i think they are growing gas on a flame already. show me one thing, one thing that administration has done to slow the flow. they're not. they are getting good at releasing people quickly and bragging about it. no overcrowding. we're moving them quickly. when you brag about releasing people quickly and brag about opening up more policy to bring
8:07 am
more people in what will that do? you are throwing gas on the fire. it will bring more people and more enticement. it equals free healthcare and no detention and quick release equals daca and amnesty and now instead of talking about consequence or deterrents. instead of doing one thing, just one thing to slow the flow so we don't see what we saw with this little child. we don't see dying children and women being raped and cartels making billions they throw out another enticement. they double down on the worst of the worst. they have abandon their old and men and women of the border patrol. you can hate or love president trump, i don't care what people think. you can't deny that he gave us the most secure border in my career and by doing so illegal immigration went down 80%. how many women didn't get raped and how many children didn't get abandoned and how many americans didn't die of overdoses and how many millions of dollars did the cartel not
8:08 am
make. president trump did it right. agree or disagree president biden undid all of that and puts the country at great risk. people are dying on the border. >> harris: you rest that on the shoulders of the president. when he handed the job off to the vice president you would think maybe that person would do something. it goes back to the president. look what we are learning about vice president harris's team. reportedly panicked when president biden gave her the border assignment and her team has reportedly tried to distance her from the southern border crisis because she wants political victories. cnn reporting the story and offering this take. >> republicans kind of seized on that confusion and they made it seem as though vice president harris was going to be the new border czar. her role was always going to be focusing on the northern triangle countries and they saw her being linked to the border
8:09 am
as a perilous assignment and task. she has wanted to emphasize both internally and publicly her team has come out and said publicly look, we don't own the issues at the border. we are not managing the issues at the border. >> harris: it sounds like the vice president's team chose politics over all people. those south of the border who have suffered the way you described, tom, and those of us who expect her to do her job because it's america and we're citizens. >> i don't care what cnn says. she is the vice president of the united states. her responsibility is protect this nation. her responsibility is to this country and our security and our safety. and securing that border is a part of that job. so she is the vice president, bottom line. she is responsible. she will wear this tragedy. her and the president and the secretary will wear this tragedy and they should because they have put this open borders
8:10 am
agenda, this isn't mismanagement. this isn't incompetence. this is by design. this is what open borders looks like. they gave it all up to win an election for the progressive left. >> harris: we've entered the national security risk zone and you say it is a dire situation already which is why we saw texas governor abbott declare a disaster down in his state. so the next steps in all of this are coming and tom homan we'll have you back to unfortunately navigate this. always great to have your expertise and time. >> thanks for having me. >> harris: fox news alert. cyberattack has hit again in the united states. this one is targeting jbs, the world's largest meat supplier. the white house suspects russian hackers are behind it. the shutdowns raising concerns of a possible beef shortage coming less than a month after
8:11 am
the colonial pipeline system suffered a ransomeware attack. we're live at jbs. >> jbs says it is getting back online and i can tell you we've been standing in front of this building and seeing workers go in all day today and all morning. this is the company's largest beef facility in the country and now the white house is part of the investigation. >> the white house is engaging directly with the russian government on this matter and delivering the message that responsible states do not harbor ransomeware criminals. >> this map shows the eight states where jbs's nine u.s. carriers are located. in a statement the company ceo says our systems are coming back online and we're not sparing any resources to fight
8:12 am
this threat. we have cybersecurity plans in place to address these issues and successfully executing those plans. jbs says it figured out there was a problem in the systems on sunday and notified the white house. cybersecurity expert explains how this works. >> it's all about ransomware and getting a malicious payload into a network and basically deleting backup files and encrypting the files that you need to operate. >> the u.s. department of agriculture says there are no indications of a meat shortage. however, prices have increased due to covid and the weather. >> i look back at the pandemic and covid-19 and how that affected the upper midwest. there were significant things that happened but we thought there was a resilient supply chain. >> we're actually now getting word of another attack just
8:13 am
this morning. the woods hole team ship authority said it's the victim of a ransomeware attack. >> harris: i had a security analyst tell me when it happened with colonial pipeline they were testing things. it could be any groups doing it out of russia and they are poking the bear to see where they can be successful and that we might see more and look at it now. thank you very much and thanks for the latest on that bit of breaking news. after months of down playing anarchist violence in portland, oregon last year are the mainstream media finally going to cover the facts? seattle radio talk show host jason rantz will sound off on it next. and this. >> how often did you ever see advertisements on television with black and white couples?
8:14 am
two to three out of five have mixed race couples in them. that's not by accident. they are selling soap, man. [laughter] not a joke. >> harris: what is he talking about? president biden appears to go off script this time with a bizarre comment on racial progress in american advertising? our power panel will weigh in. stay close. a veteran who may have served in my time, during the vietnam era, would be eligible today for a va home loan. so many do not know that. there's no expiration date on your eligibility for the va home loan. every veteran, every service member out there if you're thinking about buying a home if you're thinking about a cash out refi whatever you're thinking with a mortgage, you should come to newday usa first.

>> harris: newly released body cam video to show you that depicts the final moments of last week's deadly shooting at the san jose rail yard. it was breaking during this
8:20 am
hour of "the faulkner focus". it shows deputies and police officers apreaching the scene with guns drawn and entering the building where the shooting took place. police say the suspect shot and killed nine transit agency co-workers before killing himself. >> on three. let me see your hands. go right, go right. >> hold on. >> i got that stairwell. sheriff's office. >> did you hear him shouting you can hear it? look at all the training right before our eyes with those officers are able to do and what they do. william la jeunesse is live for us in los angeles with details. william, thank you. >> harris, what you know you'll see is a realtime hunt for an active shooter and this coordination you mentioned.

8:23 am
there not knowing what they'll see. thank you for taking us unside that story. after more than 100 consecutive days of rioting and tens of millions of dollars in property damage, some in the media are finally admitting problems in portland, oregon. the "washington post" with this headline. anarchists and increase in violent crime hijack portland's social justice movement. a "washington examiner" op-ed "washington post" finally recognized portland has a violence problem and the headlines from last year. "new york times" ran the op-ed helped me find trumps an arc consists in portland and josh campbell tweeted at the time, good morning from wonderful portland where the city is not under siege and buildings are not burning to the ground. jason rantz is a seattle radio talk show host and often on the ground talking to business owners and people who were actually living through the reality that maybe the report
8:24 am
rs didn't want to report. >> it would be laughable if it wasn't so serious. what we're seeing here. the media was mind numbingly stupid in its coverage. when you have people virt taou signaling there is no issue here. what are you talking about? they did this to two serve purposes. you have a lot of reporters locally and nationally who identify with the blm movement and the eyeology surrounding what is going on in the cities and they want to justify or downplay it because they don't want to hurt the movement. the movement was not hurt by a lot of this violence. number two they wanted to hurt donald trump who was calling out the lawlessness. calling out the anarchy. i remember right after the rnc convention anderson cooper was struggling to get the point across the polling looks really good. don lemon says the polling looks pretty good for republicans on this.
8:25 am
they shifted their conversation. this is trump's america as if it's portland, l.a. seattle and new york like he is responsible for the violence. they decided at the end to ignore it. ignoring it meant it didn't go away and still out there. not what it once was but still there. >> harris: the journalists taking a side. everybody has a point of view. you don't have to bring it to work and report based on it. it is interesting to see people cozying up to the facts. texas governor greg abbott signing a bill to withhold property tax revenues for cities and counties who defund police. the state also is increasing penalties for protestors blocking emergency vehicles or harming law enforcement. that stands in stark contrast with what is happening now in seattle. jason, you would know. police force there is dwindling. nearly 275 officers have left
8:26 am
the force since last year with now the lowest number of deployable staff since the 1980s. deployable staff. you call 911, who answers that call is what they're talking about. that number is the lowest since the 1980s. what is the effect on the people of seattle? >> it means there is no pro-active policing and we've seen an increase in violent crime particularly gun violence. just over the weekend a tragic story. a man, 67 years old was walking his dog. 14 years old. alice, when he got accosted by a homeless person who has had interactions with the police before. tried to rob the guy. the guy said no, he pushed back and the dog was kicked to death. that guy was almost immediately released from jail. and so not only do you have police not able to protect the communities and have a presence to clamp down on violence or be a disincentive to commit the
8:27 am
violence, you have judges releasing these criminals, suspects at the exact same time. this is an ongoing problem and it is not just happening in seattle. it is happening across the country. >> harris: the layering of what you've just said is really illuminating, right? police are doing the job of identifying troubled people in our society and the court system doesn't look -- the law is blind. so they're not really following the lead of police officers because those police officers aren't able to do that now because they don't exist because the numbers are so low of cops. that's really troubling. >> the law is supposed to be blind but to be clear in a lot of these cases you have judges who are actively saying i'm not going to criminalize poverty. we have a king county prosecutor and the seattle city attorney going out of their way to go after the judges who are hard on crime. it is almost a parody but it is deadly. >> harris: the national
8:28 am
fraternal order of police says 128 officers have been shot in the line of duty so far this year. 26 officers died and 27 of the shootings were ambush-style attacks up by 50% from last year. jason, your reaction to those numbers. >> when you know there is not a lot of officers out there on duty it makes it that much easier to hurt them. you have a media nationally pushing a blm radical agenda that demonizes these officers. we have had this conversation before. there is no doubt there are bad cops and we go after them as harshly as we can. the vast majority are great people. unfortunately you have police officers across the country being painted with this incredibly toxic broad brush and it is inspiring people to attack. we saw what happened in san francisco with the officer who was attacked by a homeless person. she didn't have a partner with her because of a lack of staffing.
8:29 am
we see this happening over and over and over again. police see this happening not only is the morale down but they are leaving these big departments in significant numbers. the problem is only going to get worse. no, -not just the officers but the people they serve and protect. >> harris: the people part of the blm movement who really wanted change and were not about destroying things, they are message gets muffled by others who come in as like insurgents and do some of the things you're talking about and it's destructive all around. when it comes to violent crime in democrat-led cities the man accused of attacking an asian american woman in broad daylight has a long rap sheet and faces multiple charges including assault as a hate crime but was arrested and released at least 17 times that we know about prior to that attack. new york city's police commissioner blames the lenient treatment of repeat offenders, something jason was just talking about.
8:30 am
we need help with some of these laws. we cannot be just chasing our tail catch and release, catch and releas >> 100%. you have officers who are doing a really tough job only to have all of that work be for nothing because judges and prosecutors are going easy on these people. this is not an anomaly. we have a case here, 75 convictions at the time after he was arrested for throwing coffee in the face of a toddler. was released again. you have some leaning on the covid restrictions for not putting people in jail. this is being driven by politics. >> harris: that's a lot. and then the question is who is keeping an eye on things so it doesn't get worse? or are they just turning a blind eye? we will follow the story wherever it takes us. jason rantz, great to have you. thank you. >> thank you. >> harris: fox news alert now. this a positive drug test for

medina spirit, the kentucky derby winner has now been confirmed. the horse could be disqualified and stripped of his crown. a second sample was tested and also came back positive for elevated levels of a banned substance. bob -- he said the horse was treated with an ointment with that substance in question. president biden appearing to take a swipe at democratic senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema for siding with republicans too often. what happened to the promises of bipartisanship? plus this. >> this virus did not originate in the wuhan animal market. we don't know where it originated but we know we have to get to the bottom of that. we also know that a few miles away from that food market is
8:32 am
china's only biosafety level four super laboratory that researches human infectious diseases. >> harris: he could almost say that today. it was senator tom cotton in february of 2020 telling us. and now the "washington post" has issued a correction 15 months later after saying senator cotton was pushing debunked conspiracy theories. the cleanup on aisle 7 by the main media. power panel reacts. stay close.

♪ ♪ wealth helps you retire. worth is knowing why. ♪ ♪ principal. for all it's worth. >> president biden: june should be a month of action on capitol hill. i hear the folks on tv saying why doesn't biden get this done? because biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the house and a tie in the senate. with two members of the senate who vote more with my republican friends.
8:38 am
but we're not giving up. >> harris: president biden in tulsa taking shots at democrat senators joe manchin and kyrsten sinema and tearing into new voting laws passed in several states. biden is pushing the s1 senate bill which would limit state's rights over their own elections. but the website 538 points out both senator manchin and senator sinema have voted with biden 100% of the time. power panel leslie marshall and matt schlapp joining me now. i come to you first because i interviewed kyrsten sinema in the run-up in 2016. at that time she voted 60% with president trump. if biden should know anything about some of the people in his party it is that some of them are free thinkers and will vote based on the states they serve in or their own ideology. apparently he doesn't know that. >> this is right.
8:39 am
look, socialism is rejected not just by the american people but specifically if you look at minority voters, a poll that came out with hispanic voters, almost 70% of hispanics are rejecting the radical ideas. harris, the idea of not having a voter i.d. to vote that was never consistent with the idea of bringing in all these new people with civil right to vote into the system. it was never about stopping them from verifying who they were. these were false charges that the democrats are putting up in order to be successful in elections. here is the thing for both republicans and democrats and i can criticize my side, too. you want to be a national party. if the democrats want to be a national party they have to retain seats like kyrsten sinema and they can't do it with a radical socialist agenda. >> harris: how should president biden handle those in his party who he apparently doesn't agree with? >> quite frankly there will
8:40 am
always be people left or right that don't agree with you when you are the president. i have to say look, harris, i'm a democrat and always said joe manchin is a republican wearing a blue cape with a d on it when you look at some of the things that he has done. the president was actually just telling the facts. those are the facts. speaking of the facts for my friend matt if the american people rejected socialism we have a democrat in the white house and a slim majority in the house and we switched a couple of those states like georgia blue. >> harris: he was sold as a moderate and you know it, leslie. >> let's look at this very specifically. what the democrats are trying to pass with hr1 and s1 is this idea that all the state laws would be overridden despite zero evidence of widespread voter suppression. every time i go on tv give me the list of voters denied the chance to vote because of the color of their skin. there is no list because blacks
8:41 am
in georgia turned out at record numbers. we've solved the problem in this country and we should be proud of the fact in a bipartisan way with more republicans voting for civil rights bills than democrats. something we forget in our history, we have come so far. i don't want to go back to this racial animosity that joe biden and stacey abrams are stoking. it won't help us unify. >> harris: the "washington post" issued a correction to an article from february 2020 when it claimed senator tom cotton of arkansas was spreading a quote, unquote debunked conspiracy theory about the origins of covid-19 in the wuhan lab in china. now 15 months later the updated headline read he keeps repeating a fringe theory that scientists have disputed. i come back to you, matt. >> this is the big problem with these oligarchs determining what's right and what's wrong. there was a time in our country
8:42 am
where there was journalism and still are journalists would allow both sides to be presented within a news article. now almost everything i believe in my heart to be true is canceled for a period of time in the debate and now when it is canceled so aggressively like this story how chinese coronavirus started every time they cancel it i get to the point that's where the truth is. that's the cynicism that's dangerous in our society. >> harris: leslie, when you look at the correction that's run no apology for not chasing down the facts as we were beginning to come to know them. there is no acknowledgement that they didn't do their job on this. there were some journalists like myself asking questions because of things popping at the time. why do people even read this paper if it won't do its job in that sense? >> you and i talked about this before on "outnumbered" and
8:43 am
look, journalists if you're an investigative should take any kind of lead and track it down. right now we are not that far from where we were over a year ago. if you look at what happened in the media, what i see is people that were believing the scientists over the politicians. at that time the scientific community said they didn't think it was from a lab because of the covid-19 grandfather and father had an animal vector born connection. >> harris: it's worse than that, right? they were believing china and its government. its communist government. we'll move on. >> i don't think they were believing china and its government because i think we all know regardless of our ideology and where we fall in politics that china lies and they lied even if you take the labelment out of it.
8:44 am
china lied about when it originated. we saw cases in the united states going back to november. >> harris: that's an excellent example of some of the lies. president biden taking heat for an odd comment. he pointed to tv advertisements for soaps featuring biracial couples as a sign of racial progress in america. >> president biden: how often did you ever see advertisements on television with black and white couples? two to three out of five have mixed race couples in them. that's not by accident. they are selling soap, man. [laughter] not a joke. >> harris: one tweet in response said the biden administration is totally unaware of the land mines it is stepping on and narrative they help foment. another from the guy who helped push the crime bill that locked up minorities in disproportionate numbers to whites. leslie, your reaction to it all.
8:45 am
>> being in a biracial relationship myself i have to say over the years i have noticed a difference. not just in color but also in sexual orientation. two moms, two dads, asian mom and african-american dad. honestly that's diversity and the advertisers are reflecting not only who we really are as a nation and what is seen and who is watching their ads but in addition to that they are reflecting i believe more tolerance, acceptance and understanding of the changes of the demographics of our nation. so i don't think the president is completely out of touch with those remarks. >> harris: i would be curious, leslie. both of us are in biracial marriages. i don't think as a black person i would buy more soap, though. i'm just saying. >> i don't know what kind of relationship we're considered but i'm married to a cuban. every time we have a family get together we're in a bit of a
8:46 am
blend as a marriage. the democratic approach on questions of diversity is always they've got it and we don't. remember, donald trump got the largest percent of diverse voters since any republican since 1960. and this is something that is an important thing for us to focus on. >> harris: great to have you on the program. thank you. the nation's top experts on infectious diseases taking fierce criticism over his soon to be released book about the pandemic. is he trying to profit off a public health crisis? kat timpf is standing by to get into all this next. veteran homeowners, i have 100 great reasons why you should use your va home loan benefit to take cash out of your home. 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.

>> harris: dr. anthony fauci coming out with a new book on truth and service and how the pandemic shaped his life philosophy. no surprise loads of criticism already. here is joe concha? >> many of the country threw open their mouth that fauci will be releasing a book on the pandemic. 2/3 americans believe his decisions were made through a political prism. not what our scientists and doctors are supposed to do.
8:52 am
become another beer congratulate but that's what dr. fauci has become. >> harris: perhaps he would donate the money. a back and forth emails between dr. fauci and top chinese health official in the early days of the pandemic. the exchange comes off at pretty chummy. kat timpf here with us today. what is your reaction to this? dr. fauci panning a book. >> i think it's crazy the book will be about truth. as you mentioned so much of this has been far too political and unfortunate to see it's still happening. if you look in terms of the discussions of the lab leak theory, for example, it was for political reasons nobody wanted to believe that. we should know after the last 15 months we've all been through that a virus doesn't care about politics. and this is serious. we should all want to know.

truth is what we should be seeking here. what really happened, how did it happen not so we can blame people for political reasons or get away with things but we don't want to see this happen again. >> harris: there are questions that are popping about well, did dr. anthony fauci know or realize something with his relationship that plays out across email with that chinese health official? we don't know the answer to that. maybe he innocently found out some information. we're looking into origins now of a killer virus around the world. what did he know? >> exactly. he unfortunately put himself in this position where people aren't going to quite trust what he said. he has said everything, right? i'm sure he said true things because he said everything. he changed his mind so many times and again whenever you get the inkling about somebody they're in it for something political no matter what side it is it really bothers me when we talk about something that
8:54 am
has affected us all these past 15 months as human beings. in a very serious way. i want to know -- i want to see that urgency and people saying politics aside we need to figure out what happened so it doesn't happen again no matter what the political consequences might be. something that is life and death should always be more important than politics. >> harris: we're hoping the truth won't be invisible. speaking of invisible an italian sculptor auctioning off an invisible statue for more than $18,000. the piece is called i am and doesn't actually exist. it would make it i'm not. he says his work is not nothing, it's a vacuum. your reaction to this? >> i am in the wrong career. i'll go home and make a lot of invisible sculptures and selling mine. they will only be $10,000 each. i don't understand why you buy this. you get a certificate. it is a certificate proving you
