>> what in the world is it? >> it looks like a river upstream or something like that. its it's 350 pounds. >> what do you do when you see that? >> swim away. >> needs a bigger boat. >> thank you. see you later. >> we begin with a fox news alert, california governor unde fire is a bizarre new crime wav is spiking. critics say his policy is feeling hit. i'm here as faulkner and you ar in the faulkner focus. take a look at the video out of los angeles. two brazen shoplifters out at t.j. maxx, walking out with arm full of merchandise. one even carrying a massive ful bag stuffed, strolling right

past the store clerks, as law and order appears to be flippin away. in la police sergeant saying they don't even run out, they walk out. and so that is sending a message , that we the criminals are winning very just last week of rite aid employee in los angeles shot and killed for confronting to shoplifters. california seeing an uptick in retail and grocery store thefts in recent months. now california governor newsom has announced efforts suddenly to crackdown. >> we've all seen the images of people rushing in and i'll highlight just one of them at macy's, you see them all across the state of california. these organized efforts and the are organized disproportionate efforts. we want to go after those. >> live in la, critics say this is the fault of his policy, but now he's got a new policy? >> governor newsom wants to pla

the blame game, he's attacking organized crime. but when they are committing th crimes, the police are blaming the politicians for laws that encourage criminal behavior or failed to penalize it. they have zero fear of consequences, why? police say prop 47, which newso supported, makes them undermine that misdemeanor. release from jail before trial did not show up for court. 55 percent were rearrested for new crime while free. to get these guys are getting away with murder and our politicians are responsible for a. they cried to come up with band-aid solutions for the gaping when they cause. >> they hit for expensive jewelry and handbags very newso says that none of these finds have anything to do with his support for illuminating cash bail or the das you don't

prosecute this demeanors. yesterday and that news conference, he said the state should focus on mental health, drug treatment, and afterschool programs. >> we need all folks to account. we do it in a thoughtful injudicious way. not going back to the way that things were, at least not while i'm here. shoplifting is causing business millions, this is a warehouse o stolen property ready to be resold, to cut down on theft, target target is reducing hours in california. they mention those men shoplifting, killing an employe chemically tried to stop them. >> we have to not only deal wit the people that are doing it an hold them to account, but we also have to balance the method that we are doing it. >> a poor job addressing crime which makes for as well as police and prosecutors, they sa it's a mistake to be letting people out of jail early.

indeed. >> the people who pay are the businesses and they're shoppers because no matter how you cut it , things can happen, it can go dangerous at any moment. >> you are 100 percent right. >> california governor newsom i denying that far left policies are the problem here and that there fueling lawlessness and even claims that crime is going down. >> they have some of the policies. it's a significant decline in crime, and the increase in red states that had no [indiscernible] i think that is an easy for folks. >> he is ready with those talking points.

and sharp uptick in organized crime. that is nationally. and in california's largest city , los angeles, violent crime , as you know is exploding compared to even just this poin last year. homicides up 29 percent commission shootings up 44 percent into 43 percent increase in shooting victims. that means they are hitting their target unfortunately. civil rights attorney rio terre is calling out the governor. >> he is lying to america when he says crime is going down. you have riots in california, every day burning and looting. defunding the lapd. we have a district attorney who is so friendly to the criminals it's outrageous. he is lying. >> the former house oversight committee and fox news contributor, jason, thank you

for being in focus. gavin newsom was ready, he took everything going on and blamed it on red states. had to really follow that. >> had to reach back some 30 years to try to come up with some bogus statistic. it look at what the fraternal order of police puts out just over the last 24 months, and th numbers are stunning when homicides and shootings are up in los angeles more than 40 percent to have others are stunning numbers. it's only the democrats, they control everything for the democrats our in control of all of these policies and these people can just walk out of tha start with i don't know how man hundreds of dollars worth of stuff, to you think they're going to do it tomorrow? they're going to be doing it tomorrow, it's not safe, i live in northern, california until i

was about 12 years old, you can go to those surrounding neighborhoods anymore. you can't go to san francisco, it's a very dangerous place, it's the policies that gavin newsom and the democrats have advocated. >> it's interesting because as we look this watch this video, shoplifting from the t.j. maxx over and over again. it supposed to be anything unde $950 is misdemeanor and want to go to court, no fines, nothing. so who is counting that stuff u as they go by? who knows how much they have? >> president biden yesterday denied the democrats have--go ahead. >> i was going to say the polic know, the politicians are not behind them, it's not worth doing, they don't even respond. that is so fundamentally wrong. i was the chairman of the committee. he took me to baltimore, guess

what the consequences? these banks, these financial institutions, restaurants, the right aids and walmart, walgreens of the world, they just leave, so there are food vendors literally within the inner cities and places like baltimore because they have nowhere to shop and there is huge long-term consequences to these democratic policies. >> we just saw some of them in pandemic. if you become food or pharmacy desert, it's hard to get people help. president biden yesterday denie the democrats are called for defunding the police. watch. >> how do you respond to republicans they tried to paint you and your party as anti- police? >> they are lying. >> what about defunding the police? >> i have never said defund the police. i don't know any community, particularly communities in the most tedious, the poorest and the most at risk that don't wan to police, they want police to

look at them is equals. they want police to treat them they don't want police to do that very. >> let's fact check that prayer just last summer president bide expressed support for redirecting money from police t other programs. and many prominent democrats. >> i support the defund movement , not only do we need to defund, but we need to dismantl and start a new. >> this is the word coming from the street. >> a moment to reimagine. >> in many cities in america. over they're city budget goes t police. what are we doing? >> this is the word that's coming from the police aoc, the congresswoman said spirit i mea from the streets, this is the word that's coming from the streets.

shouldn't they be listening to voters of every stripe? not just the ones they like? >> exactly. people come to the united state of america because of the rule of law, but what the biden ministration has done, what these democrats have done is open borders, get rid of ice, get rid of the border patrol, have these open borders, raise the level of consequence to $95 so you can just get away with stealing things. prosecutors that decided not to prosecute. foxes running a story about a prosecutor who last week dismissed three capital murder cases. the number of stories, all you have to do is roll the tape. you get rid of 500 undercover police officers in new york city . what do you think the consequences going to be. >> we are living it. >> try walking to times square with your children. you pretty much have to be on a

school trying to explain all of that we'd smell that every base choking on because it's coming from every direction. we will move unpaired republicans going after house speaker nancy pelosi. she rejected two republican leader kevin mccarthy picks, two of his picks for the januar. pelosi blocking congressman jim banks and joe jordan, two allie of former president trump. mccarthy then with his fix out of the pool. >> the number and they never intended to work with us to begin with, this was a politica sham from the beginning. >> maybe they just don't want t end the answer that fundamental question or any other question. this is all political and we've known that from the start. >> she decides that they are no worthy. never in the history of congress , i checked for the story, has this ever taken place . where the one party decides who's on the committee.

>> however, pelosi says this about mccarthy's comment. [indiscernible] >> now even some in the media are going after the decision part a political reporter said this. this is going to be a gift to kevin mccarthy, in the long run. he wanted this panel to look partisan in political, and now it's definitely going to look partisan and political. cnn politics reporter with this nancy pelosi just do the alread tiny chances of the january 6 committee actually mattering. and just last hour, the speaker defended the commission. >> this is about seeking the

truth. it's not even, it's not even bipartisan it's nonpartisan, it's about seeking the truth. the biggest incentive for that is that more of less partisan i is, the more it will be accepte by the american people. >> is this really about seeking the truth? >> no, it's a pure political partisan that she already knows the outcome, so she doesn't nee to bother to have anybody in th minority participate. why do that? it is a charade, it is a disgrace to the united states congress and any semblance of justification for this has gone out the door. we've never seen it before. just keep rolling the tape on nancy pelosi. she will do whatever she wants, she has a four seat majority, but it is just absolutely totally wrong.

>> say it again. she has a four seat majority. it's just a heartbeat until 2022 . it will be interesting to see i they can hang onto that. >> president biden's comment on sparking confusion and pushback. that's because they were confusing. why fact checkers are saying he missed the mark. >> do your job and take the mas off our kids and stick to education. >> emotions running high is eve as parents demand essence of normalcy when schools reopen in the fall. the fiery debate over mask wearing in classrooms. doctor marty mcgarry is in focus . 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.

>> it was spring 2021 this year when the mask message was simple , get vaccinated or where imax. in the rise of white house delt variant cases. there are trained to encourage people to wear masks more often. in president biden, teasing updated guidance from the cdc o whether children under the age of 12 should wear masks in school when they go back in the fall. traffic he heinrich is live for us at the white house. >> good afternoon to you, harris . they just released a statement again saying that there is no plan to change mask guidance at this time, but top administration officials are reportedly in talks about

whether to bring back masks eve for vaccinated people because o the rapid spread with the delta variant. the president also said the cdc is likely to update its guidanc for kids in school which was just released less than two weeks ago, they said at that time the kids who have had the vaccine don't need the masks we were told. >> the cdc is going to say that what you should do is everyone over the under the age of 12 should probably be wearing a mask in school, that's probably what's going to happen. >> there is still hesitation to go back to masks as they show, the unvaccinated increasingly vulnerable, rapid spread is fueling breakthrough cases even in vaccinated people although they are not getting severely ill or dying generally. studies have reported people infected with the delta variant had about them the original strain, people become contagiou

sooner and delta spreads about two times faster. making the vaccine available fo younger children is another big priority for regulators and health experts, the president said last night he expects that might come around the beginning of the school year around september or even october. the luis vaccination rates include alabama, mississippi, wyoming and louisiana all were remain unvaccinated. there are some people now re- imposing mask requirements or recommendations, there is growing fear about what comes next to past pass the limits an restaurants. the only way to avoid that is t have the unvaccinated get their shots, harris. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> if you are vaccinated, he is not your not going to be hospitalized coming in not goin to be in an icu unit and your not going to die. you not going to get covid if

you have these vaccinations bared. >> what you say to americans wh have done everything right, they've been fully vaccinated and they contract covid. >> i could say even if they do contracted, which i'm sorry the did, it's such a tiny percentag and it is not life-threatening. >> fact checkers are taking him president biden vaccine comment last night, while it's true about 99 percent of covid desks are among those who are unvaccinated, the associated press points out that there are more than 5,000 fully vaccinate americans who have been hospitalized or die from covid 19, so it's a very tiny percentage. dr. fauci saying it might be a good idea to keep your mask on. >> if you want to go the extra mile of safety, even though you're vaccinated, when you're indoors, particularly in crowde places, you may want to conside wearing a mask.

>> former surgeon general, jerome adams says the cdc needs to act now. i initially said masks were not effective in preventing the general public from coronavirus. after the best way forward is t own the situation and hit the reset button. the cdc urgently needs to revis its guidance to basket needed vaccinated mask in places where cases are rising yet vaccinatio rates remain low. doctor marty makary is a professor at john hopkins university school of benefits and always welcome on the falconer focus because he speak complain truth. its it's a campus full of art. >> good morning, harris. i think president biden had goo intentions, breakthrough infections have been known for long time, but it downgrades th infection when your vaccinated to a milder asymptomatic case. in massachusetts, they looked a

1,000 people vaccinated in one person got a mild infection for every 1,000 people vaccinated i their whole state population. our battle is not against the sniffles, it's against death an disability and overrun hospital and if we have a powerful tool that downgrades the two is seasonal mild common cold type of illness, that's not what we need to change society for. >> why can't you say that? none of us knows what he can sa that. we are monitoring right now the briefing by the white house covid response team so we will pop that up on the screen is cd director just said there have been a 19 percent uptick in the past seven days across an average she also warned about

the highly transmissible delta variant saying take it seriousl and get vaccinated. that's in line exactly with wha you were just saying, dr. makary . >> first of all commit we're in a bit of uncharted territory here and i think that's what dr. anyone who wants to wear a mask if you, but before you go on to mask mandates at hog, we need t recognize that masks are low on the list on things that prevent transmission say in schools, it's ventilating, is distancing it's outdoors, and the quality of the mask matters, right now would love to see the data. we don't have the data unmaskin in kids despite 41 million dollars they spend, they have never studied this. >> they didn't spend much on covid out of that big number? >> we just did this research study at johns hopkins come out out of $41 billion, they spent in research funding last year, .4 percent went to covid research. it wasn't even for the big covi questions, it was to things lik health disparities in covid.

when are you contagious, and do masks work. >> it really basic. i don't understand that, we're in the middle of a pandemic and they spent so little cash. with schools preparing to reopen , president biden says parents have a duty to be hones about their children's vaccination status bared. >> he basically called us liars. watch bared. >> it's going to get a little tight in terms of our mom and dad being honest that johnny di or did not get vaccinated, that's going to raise questions. everybody knows in a community whether or not johnny really di get the vaccination when he's 1 or 17 years old, so i think it' a matter of community responsibility and i think you're going to see the work through. >> the virginia school board meeting is any indication, parents will have very strong feelings about masking up, and just the kids in general in school. watch.

>> adults have access to the vaccine, our children should be able to resume normal lives. >> this is not a difficult recipe. that's what your job is. do your job. take that masks off our kids, and stick to education. >> what should parents here right now? >> i think appearance have a right to be upset. some kids struggle with masts, some do well with it, but other get dermatological issues. they fog up their glasses, they can't see when they're trying t learn. parents are frustrated because we see restrictions going to places with no exit criteria, and write out delta looks like it's going to peek right around the opening of school in late august or early september. we need to have exit criteria s people know this is a temporary

measure if it's put into place. >> it feels like when people ge confusing, that they're panicking, what are we seeing coming out of the white house right now with this message? >> i think you see total completion of two different things happening in america. outbreaks among non- immune people, and breakthrough infections that are very un- symptomatically. it's not that the breakthroughs are driving the and that's what's causing the hysteria around vaccinated people. >> thank you very much, always good to see you. a big step back for president biden's agenda, the senate republicans had blocked debate on democrats massive one point to trillion dollar infrastructure plan. reaction ahead. watch for this. >> senate republicans are calling on the president to lea the bureau of land management.

why is he backing that woman fo this job? democrats plowing ahead with president biden's controversial nominee. republican say they should be disqualified zane she looked misled congress about her links to an eco- terror pot. there's no money out of pocket and no upfront fees. and while some banks are raising their rates, newday is holding the line for veterans. lock in your rate.

veteran homeowners. the newday two and a quarter refi is the lowest rate in their history. two and a quarter percent. just 2.48 apr. newday's holding the line on rates so veterans can save thousands. >> breaking news. while we were just in that commercial break, the committee voted on president biden's controversial nominee to head the bureau of land management. we can tell you it is a 10-tie along party lines which means the vote now goes to the full senate parrot republican say tracy stone and manning should be disqualified for her involvement in an eco- terror

plot in 1999 that is all this baking of trees. they also say she lied to congress about that. the new york times is calling i a brawl over whether this biden nominee is an extremist or bridge builder. she is one of many extremists that have been put into the biden cabinet that there is a long history of this on the left . you shouldn't be in charge in i the bureau of land management i you were at least once sympathetic to eco- terrorism committed against bloggers. that can't be okay. >> lips for a second revisit th practice of trees by compared it's when metal rods are hammered into the trees making it extremely dangerous for loggers did then try to cut dow those trees because they are saws, their automatic saws, the

tools that they're using on the tree hit those metal rods and spikes and they don't know they are there. ma and was nearly beheaded by this process which is what kick this into the gear in it kicked off that investigation years ago . that republican from montana is in focus now. >> harris, it's outrageous. i said in that committee, it wa a 10-10 tyke, you mention tree spiking. this is what a the trees bike looks like. this is exactly describe. they drive these great big spikes into trees, and as you described come out when the locker tries to cut it, the blades explode like a grenade and they can seriously injure

our kill loggers are lot mill log mill operators. they were eight ecoterrorist group. she was right in the middle of at that activity. this is the news that came available just in the last 42 days. it was never available before, she wrote this letter and maile it on a rented typewriter is very threatening letter, it was vile, it was laced with profanity basically threatening the folks in idaho say new better not go in that forest because the trees have been spiked. that is eco- terrorism. that's what i don't believe she is fit to serve as president biden's director of the land management. to support and defend her on this because that's what you're doing if you push forward. >> it's chess this pattern of radicals that president biden continues to put into his

administration. even president obama's former blm director, said that she was not fit to serve in this capacity and should be disqualified, based on the fact that we saw before the committee . >> we don't know the timing of this full senate vote, so that is part of the breaking news story as well. and what this means now in term of what you say and i showed on of our contributors at fox news had said about a pattern for pe your thoughts about that. >> she also had this pattern of obstructing justice. she knew for several years exactly what happened. the fbi took fingerprints, they took writing samples, they investigated her home, but they couldn't quite find enough and then four years after that, eve

though she knew all the facts, some new facts became available and then the feds had a case. that's when she made a deal to avoid going to prison while others on her team went to prison. here is, should that person be serving in the administration here? it's a loss of public trust. this is what concerned so many on capitol hill. there is radicals to the left whether it's in terms of the nominations and the officials putting in, or the three and a half trillion dollar tax and spend wilde's breed that bernie sanders is leading right now with chuck schumer. it's very very concerning to those of us here who say this i taking america off a cliff, we've got to stop it. we talk about that vote, and that 10-10 both for this controversial candidate. great to have you on the program

. thank you so much. >> we had no idea when the vote would be taken, so there we hav it. the timing of that was auspicious for us to all of us, the viewers committed to just dig deeper into what was going on and capitol hill with that situation. they may have to explain, the pentagon denied the military ha gone woke, what top brass are saying now about concerns that critical race theory is being taught to our fighting men and women. just when you may think you hav heard it all from those runaway texas democrats come at this example of hypocrisy really takes the cake. the woman on the left with a circle around her head, you see she's not wearing a mask, you just waste for this one.

>> that covid response team at the white house just wrapped up and in just the last few second they have said this, they are i fact at the cdc not changing they're guidance from mask wearing. they say they're going to constantly evaluate the situation, but they guidance that unvaccinated people, of an age, whether it's kids in school

, wherever you are, if you are unvaccinated, they say you should definitely wear a mask. that's been in place since the spring. regardless of what's coming out of the white house, the cdc say they will continue to evaluate constantly the situation, but they are not changing the cdc mask wearing guidance, which is specifically for unvaccinated people to wear a mask right now. all of that conference delivering that breaking news, we are on it for you. now come up more questions abou the military going woke. defense secretary told reporter the military does not embrace critical race theory, however joint chiefs chair, last month defended the promotion of crt i the military. it comes as republican lawmaker argue that crt is unpatriotic and undermines the military's overall mission. lucas tomlinson is liable with us at the pentagon with more. >> the general said he doesn't

want to talk about critical rac theory or white rage anymore. >> i'm not going to address specifically white rage or blac rage, or asian rage, or irish rage or any other rage, the events of january 6 happen. i think it's a very complicated topic and we don't have the tim to move into the nuance of it right this minute. >> last month, the general had no problem weighing in on the topic end defended the teaching of critical race theory which links discrimination to america's foundations and legal system. >> i want to understand white rage and i'm white, and i want to understand it. to what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the constitution of th united states of america? what caused that? i want to find that out. i do want to analyze it. >> it moments after his comment yesterday, the congressman tweeting this is a complicated

and this isn't history lesson, or west point cadets deserve better than this while showing this photo advertising elixir a west point on february 11 calle understanding whiteness and white rage, he is received complaints from cadets and thei families. the defense secretary said he didn't want to see the forces distracted by critical race theory. >> we don't want to see our forces distracted by anything because they're fighting evil around the world. lucas, thank you very much. time now for the power panel. matt gorman, wesley marshall an matt, endlessly, welcome to the program. matt, first of all, your reaction to the general scene t seeming to do a flip-flop, he's curious to know about white rag and all of that, but now he say were not going to concentrate o that after all in the military. >> that soundbite from him this month, let me just state the
