8:00 am
840,000 people. >> approximately 965,000 were expelled. approximately 40,000 have been removed. >> we know he will be in ewing to ask him questions. here is harris faulkner with "the faulkner focus." >>harris: more breaking news with what's happening with the homeland security secretary so while he is on the hill, the dh inspector general has just declined to investigate those mounted border agents accused o whipping migrants. that wasn't true. and we know it wasn't true. and the pictures, those optics of the biden administration wer negative for them. he said oh, he was going to go after them and in fact, he woul have been investigation investigation ended outcome within days.
8:01 am
now we've just learned that the are passing the ball around fro agency agency to department to department. the instant declining to investigate saying after two months after that incident, it will move on now to the office of professional responsibility. and so on and so on furd we wil follow the bouncing ball, but the bottom line was he had just been on the ground at the borde and had seen the way that they do their jobs aerate and being mounted on horses when you have people they can pull you down and you're in water, they have been through the details here they are not carrying whips, that was that narrative was never true, and he saw them doing their jobs a few days before all of the backlash from the pictures, and he never said these words. i was there, i saw it. if there was a problem with it would have dealt with it then. instead he capitulated to the
8:02 am
loud narrative of go after the border agents. apparently that narrative is getting a little quieter month by month because that investigation declined by the dhs and it moves to another agency, what happens after that? we will let you know. we begin with a fox news alert, and jerry now deciding the fate of 18 -year-old kyle rittenhous who could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted on the most serious charge of first-degree intentional homicide. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." rittenhouse faces multiple charges after he shot and kille two men and injured a third man. during the chaos of violent present protest in kenosha, wisconsin yesterday. yesterday we saw the zinc arguments the state making a case that rittenhouse was the aggressor in their shootings, but at one point, look at your screen, that is a prosecutor pointing an ar 15 style gun at
8:03 am
the jury. he did ask if he was unloaded before he did it. i have so money questions just on that. meanwhile, it and it's closing, the defense team argued their client who was 17 at the time was acting in self-defense. >> the district attorney's office is marching forward with this case because they need somebody to be responsible. they need somebody to put into we did it. you lose the right to self-defense when you're the on that brought the gun. when you're the one who created the day meant. it when you are the one provoking other people. >> jonathan turley says the prosecutors have fumbled their case over and over a. >> the prosecution could not be working harder for acquittal. the problem is you make yoursel an issue, that's what they have done. he has contradicted his statements so often and presented evidence that was not borne out, he is really begging for reaction from this jury, bu
8:04 am
i would be very surprised if they could eke out a single conviction on this rather appalling record. >> elect six mcadams' life rest in kenosha. the jury members, 12 of them ar deliberating. >> a big day here in kenosha, wisconsin as those deliberation have officially begun here in wisconsin. now the big question for those jurors who were in deliberation is was kyle rittenhouse acting in self-defense? this morning 12 of the 18 juror rittenhouse himself choosing th names himself out of a wooden tumbler. the six names he picked out the jurors that will now be on standby. now on day 12 of the trial here deliberations have finally started. the illinois teenager on trial for shooting three men, killing two of them during the unrest i kenosha last summer following the police shooting of jacob lake. now we'll wait and see how long it's going to take for the jury
8:05 am
to decide if kyle rittenhouse was defending himself at night or if he is responsible for broken the shootings. during the miro than five hours of craft closing arguments prosecutors continued to say that tina was provoking the bloodshed that night focusing i on the piece of video evidence they say show he was pointing the ar 15 moments before the shooting great the defense team fighting back saying this was not the fact. >> under wisconsin law, you're not allowed to run around and point your gun at people. this is provocation. this is what starts this. the defendant rushes in and immediately points the gun and as you'll see in a little bit, he doesn't take kindly to peopl pointing guns. >> kyle shot joseph rosenbaum t stop the threat to his person and i'm glad he shot them because joseph rosenbaum had gotten that gun, i don't for a minute believe you wouldn't hav used it against somebody else.
8:06 am
>> overnight the national guard sending in this new video that shows 500 national guardsmen on standby at just outside of kenosha. it also closer to waukesha, wisconsin closer to milwaukee. many bigness is as nurses are covered with plywood because they never reopen here in kenosha after the unrest that rocked this area last summer. back out here live in front of the courthouse this afternoon i kenosha. you can see there are protester right outside of the courthouse we heard from people inside tha court room watching and listening that you could hear some of those protesters inside. here is, that final jury that was just chosen this morning that panel made up of seven women and five men. if the jury decides that he was acting in self-defense, they will have to acquit him. >> you gave us another importan detail. it is in waukesha that those 50 national guard men and women ar gathering. that was an important detail because i wondered yesterday if this was all breaking apart and they were bringing them into th scene, how that wouldn't be see
8:07 am
in kenosha in now we know because that's not exactly just across the street. however, i know it's being covered on the news because i see clips of its online and we just showed a little bit so tha you have to ask if the jury who is not sequestered if they don' reach their deliberations today could they see any of that? they've been stressed to watch to not watch the news, would it be seen anywhere else? let's ask fox news contributor in civil rights attorney leo terrel my questions now on the focus pray to let start with th jury. this active news sequestration even on the first night. is that normal? >> harris, it's a bad mistake o national high profile case such as that that has got national attendance, even when the judge mentioned not to hear what bide said in his previous statements it is a mistake. this jury should have been sequestered the moment closing arguments started.
8:08 am
they should have been sequestered and they should not be out there because as you pointed out those 500 national guard troops are out there and it is impossible, i've been doing this for 30 years, it's impossible for the jury to shield itself from all the public attention. >>harris: let's just get back to the big mistake very who mad the big mistake? and let's talk about it in the future terms if they don't reac a verdict today, tonight. than they get to go home and started again. they get to go home, they're no sequestered again so apparently sequestering them is never been part of the equation. >> no, it's never been and i'm surprised the defense or the prosecution didn't ask or the judge took the notion of having them sequestered on his own notion because it should have been done. what's going to happen? the unknown is what happens there are protesters outside, you just don't know if the public attention will impact th
8:09 am
jury members. it's a gamble and hopefully it will not, but you can't rule it out. >> it's a gamble with the fate of a young man's life. getting to the mistakes that jonathan and other legal analysts and experts like yourself have said that this prosecution made, and then we'v got to talk about that gun. we will get to that. >> harris, let me tell you this this prosecutor is a disaster. his obligation, i want people t understand that. the obligation of the governmen is to prosecute cases on just this, on law, this is a political case, harris. it's about finding a scapegoat very it's about the second amendment, it's about that gun. this case should have never bee prosecuted because there were not fax. this is an affirmative action self-defense case and it should have been basically the reason why this case should have never been prosecuted.
8:10 am
it was driven by the media, it was the george floyd aftermath and it was a mistake. >> think the prosecution is aware that it's may be made som mistakes and even seen the drama , you and i were on the air when the judge was ridiculing the prosecutor and they were going back-and-forth. why in the world, when your goa usually in cases that i've covered, i've not been in your shoes as a civil rights attorney , but i've covered many cases, your goal is to bring th jury with you, to bring them into your world as a storyteller , as a fact disseminate her and two say thi is how it laid out. he pointed a gun at them. a big ar 15 style gun, and before the prosecutor does that he says is it unloaded? to me there's a difference between unloaded and safe, to m there's a difference between do you trust that person? just look at what we went through with alec baldwin. someone hands me something to
8:11 am
point at a bunch of people come out wouldn't you check it yourself? wouldn't you have the acumen an the professional logic knowledg of that kind of weapon to look at it? >> should he have looked at that ? let me think about it. yes. it was foolishness. this case is annoying because again, what this prosecutor is doing is he's trying to dramatize the significance of this case he is ignoring the facts. he's ignoring that he is making tactical mistakes. he's ignoring the law, and all the prosecutors across the center, he had lied to a jury about the law when he said you lose your right of self-defense when you bring a gun. that's a lie. i want to be clear, that's a lie . he doesn't have any problem lying to the jury. >>harris: could the judge, can judge taken you put that down and check it please?
8:12 am
>> yes, the judge should have done it, could have done it, could have brought the attorney to a sidebar and said let's handle this in a different manner. this was of phony peer may send moment that failed nationally and in the courtroom. >> i don't want to make too big of a deal, it's just that it doesn't have to be that way and given the context of what we're seeing in the nation, do we nee any more drama? leo, thank you for being in focus. and when the verdict comes we will come back everyone knows. the distressing news keeps coming for the democrats. one longtime member has now defected to the gop. over what he is calling democratic values in quote and then there's this. to get the at the end of the da the american people see what's happening and it's unavoidable. you can see it at the grocery

8:21 am
i'm going to sit this one has. the tide is against us, but nic make no mistake this infrastructure bill come out when they find out what's in it and what's to come, part two of this thing, they will not be so sunny. eight kids in norma's power to the federal government to direc the billion dollars here. >> excuse me one second because i've got to get to this just because it's to the point you'r making, why would republicans take part in voting for it? >> i have spoken to some of those 13 republicans and they claim look, our bridges and tunnels in this area are collapsing we need help. what they don't tell you is tha it mandates all kinds of crazy things like breathalyzers in cars to shut them down if you'v had too much booze, it hands al of the responsibility for dolin out those funds to our former mayor mitch landrieu in new orleans who distinguished himself really for taking down

republicans felt their grip on power loosen, they unleashed a full assault on american democracy culminating in murderous assault on the capita and the introduction of anti- voter legislation across the country. break it down. >> this routine didn't work for them against in virginia, i doubt it will plate nationally. people are feeling pain. when you quoted the memo, the republicans are extremist, dangerous and chaotic great i think that's what the americans are taking away from the democrats policy. look, they are swamped with inflationary was at this moment. they're worried about crime, there were worried about their children's curriculums and the racial division in the country and nothing joe biden and the democrats are proposing are healing any of those things. so that is why you see this shift. i would warn republicans and i know they're sitting fat and happy right now saying we've go this ten-point advantage, we ar clean sailing, if it weren't fo
8:24 am
the paul ryan and donald trump back in the day, they should have passed an infrastructure bill and perhaps the democrats wouldn't have had this opening. republicans have to figure out what their policy is not just w hate joe biden or let's go rendon, that's not a governing strategy. if they don't do that they will find themselves in the democrat position in four years time for it. >> they made everything about trump and it looks like the infrastructure bill isn't helping the president at least not in the short-term. of course this happening can't be good. a longtime texas state lawmaker has switched his affiliation no from democrat to the republican party with some rough parting shots. let's watch. >> something is happening in south texas and many of us are waking up to the fact that the values of those in washington, dc are not our values, are not the values of most texans.

8:26 am
democratic party, the people of south texas have left the democratic party. the representative is just moving with them. when you talk to the people dow there as i have and you have come out when you spend time at the border, those counties alon the border sway toward donald trump, it was latino votes, is the virginia getting 55 percent of the hispanic vote, that is not just an outlier, that is a trend and the reason it is moving that way is because they are prologue, they are anti-communist, they are pro-life, and you have a party, the democratic party that latinos were naturally a part o that is moved away from their values and away from the things they hold dearest. i think this is just the first of many politicians on the loca level that you will see swing t the republican party now the republican party has to answer and will and hold firm to those values and not move.
8:27 am
>> you say that chapter cannot be quick enough for republicans. i get it. life and livelihood from the people i've interviewed along the border, that's what has bee following president trump and those types of policies it really just came down to the basics of that. raymond, i want to brag about your new book, i know it's a best-selling children's book author is what we call you now. the spider before christmas is available for sale now and it's the perfect holiday gift for children for children at hearts be sure to check it out. after pic that went upward. >> don't be scared of spiders, this is a good spider eyes where . good to see you, thank you. >> the white house blowing off concerns that the president's enormous spending bill will hav inflation even worse, but some economists beg to differ as americans feel that pain at the pump and the pinch at the supermarket.

8:41 am
but bill, i want to pick your reporter's notebook on this because you have done so much work on this. senator cruz was asking these questions, how many illegal immigrants released into americ were covid positive. how many illegal immigrants who have criminal convictions, no matter where they happened have been released into the united states. these are the issues you are dealing with on the border ever day. how can mayorkas not have any idea? >> harris, good afternoon to your. i think one of the reasons he might not know the number of covid positive released into th public is because they don't test everybody. when they're being apprehended out here on the front lines, they're not being tested before they're put on buses you only people we see testing them are ngos, that catholic charity out here in the mcallen area was testing them before they were put on buses or planes, but we just had a group of 200 here apprehended this morning. the border patrol left about 50
8:42 am
minutes ago. not a single person was covid tested out here in the field where the only signs that there ever actually covid tested is when they're showing obvious symptoms, flulike symptoms that sort of thing. it's the various ngos doing mos of the testing. i believe i heard secretary mayorkas say that that they are partnering with different ngos doing that sort of a thing, but keep in mind that's not a perfect solution. we remember that incident over the where the catholic charity was testing them here and than quietly putting them up in hotels route the area without ever knowing telling the host cities and then some of those migrants were corn were not quarantined, they can't enforce a quarantine they went into a water burger in we're coughing all over the place and that kin of blew that out of the water and that started causing a bunc of issues with that. >> because that an outbreak. >> exactly. this secretary may very well no know how many covid positive migrants have been released int
8:43 am
the community. >> the way that you put that is so important though. he may not know. you're on the hill again, same topic. why couldn't he simply say you were there when he was down there. why couldn't he simply say i don't have the exact number, bu i can tell you if something we're looking at because we're not getting to everybody. why not be more transparent? instead we have great reporting from our journalist to show us the pictures. how could it be happening? they are going from the water, the river, the land, a little bit of talk here and onto a bus. we see it. >> in keep in mind, would borde patrol in dhs wants to do right now is obviously they want to control the op-ed, and they don't want to have to be waitin for a 15-20 minute rapid test t come back on hundreds of migrants when they're processin them out here in the public. i can tell you out of all the
8:44 am
trips i've made to the border, it's almost seven months straight now, i've never seen anybody covid tested in the field and border patrol has openly admitted that. they're tested when they get back to a border patrol facilit if they show obvious symptoms. if there positive, they have different areas in those facilities where they will quarantined them, but before they are put on the buses, they are not covid tested out here i the field. it's just not happening. >> it's such an important point because this administration say that that was their singular focus and it his weekend the quarantine. why can't they be? they are not even citizens. >> and keep in mind, remember when the whole dell rio situation was happening with al the haitians under the bridge, peter ducey had that great question to jen psaki in basically said is anyone checking for a covid vaccine or a covid test when these people come over and jen psaki said no
8:45 am
