8:00 am
they have the toys. i highly recommend them. >> bill: how did he do? did he take to the water? >> dana: here we go. he sees peter and there we are. >> bill: all right. a star is born. >> dana: it's not pretty and he has another lesson next week. thanks for letting me play that, everyone. here is harris. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. the politics of keeping us alive. the democrats said they could protect us better than anybody but they didn't. and after that johns hopkins analysis showed lockdowns, restrictions, school closures and more actually hurt americans, some are finally coming around but very late in the game. i'm harris faulkner. you are in "the faulkner focus". the white house is claiming president biden never wanted any of that. no lockdowns. >> the president has been clear
8:01 am
we're not pushing lockdowns. we haven't been pro-lockdown. that isn't his agenda. most of the lockdowns happened under the previous president. >> harris: federal vaccine mandates and state and local mask mandates for school kids became the defact o*e law of the land. we need to realize how damaging shutting down our businesses and keeping us locked in our homes and covering our children's faces have been for all of us. >> ultimately there is economic and social costs to these lockdowns and yet there is little benefit. constitutional rights are most in jeopardy in times of crisis and we need to fight to preserve them. once you see the state of the federal government authority you won't get it back. america, we can't have these open and frank conversations about the pros and cons not only of lockdowns, but mandates and vaccines. >> harris: you see an attorney
8:02 am
general there. mark meredith outside the white house. that bombshell report on what all of that restriction did to us. mental health and so forth is the gift that keeps on giving against the democrats. >> it has such an impact on so many people all over the country. do you remember when covid-19 first started spreading how much confusion there was. rapid fire information. we saw a number of mayors and governors decide to put restrictions on businesses and travel meant to slow the spread. there is this new study authored by someone at johns hopkins university which took a look and did not much good. the quote. our study shows the benefits of lockdowns in terms of fewer deaths are questionable and small. remember as weeks turned into months many republican governors felt the same way and we saw the lockdowns begin to lift. not everywhere. schools especially were the hardest hit. since 2020 a lot has changed but there has been a lot of talk about the covid variants
8:03 am
and people wondering if we will ever have to go back to the way things once were. the white house insists the u.s. has the tools it needs to contain the virus and lockdowns like we all lived through are not likely to return. today we're expecting new jersey's governor to announce he is lifting mask mandates for students and staff in his state schools. pennsylvania's governor lifted the mask mandate and delaware is changing its mask rules. the white house faces questions how much longer requirements you need to wear a mask on a plane will last and why the president himself seems to wear a mask when he is outside quite a bit? the former head of the fda says sadly the return to normal we all want so much is still a ways off. >> going to have to continue to take measures to protect vulnerable people. what governors are advocating is clear guide posts that when is the on and off ramps are. we don't have an agreed upon metrics for measuring that. >> we are starting to see a
8:04 am
little bit of pushback right here in the nation's capital when it comes to regulations requiring people to prove they're vaccinated. i've seen my wife and i will go out to eat at the hostess stand. you can't get past unless you prove. we have a baby to juggle getting in the door to be a real pain. a lot of talk whether or not it's driving people away. i have heard from people in d.c. that said i'll go hang out in virginia because they don't want to deal with the mask s mandates. >> harris: ocasio-cortez went down to florida. the rules in new york are too tough. i have yet to meet as hard working and wonderful people as they are the person greeting you at the restaurant. i have yet to meet one who is an epidemiologist who can look at the documents and say these are legit. we'll move on. mark meredith. thank you very much. republicans are jumping into the child mask wars.
8:05 am
a group of six house republicans led by steve scalise and oversight committee ranking member james comer are asking the cdc to lift its mask recommendation for students. let's go to virginia. governor glenn youngkin is stuck in a legal battle now after a judge ruled in favor of several school districts that had fought against his mask optional mandate. he is not against masking. he wanted parents to have the option of not having to send their young kids to school masked. youngkin says parents should decide if their children are wearing masks, not the schools. bill maher calling out politicians forcing masks onto our children's faces. watch this. >> it is time to do what a growing list of countries have done and announced we're going back to something more like normal. beginning with recognizing that
8:06 am
what we're doing to kids is unnecessary and horrible. we're making kids who have a covid survivability rate of 99.98% mask up like bandits? unfortunately the thing that's getting stolen is their education, their sanity and social skills. >> harris: pete hegseth co-host of "fox & friends" weekend. you are saying it for more than a year. bill maher is now even saying it. >> absolutely. good for him. long overdue but good for him. it was a great report by mark meredith. fantastic reporter. but i come away from that even more confused which is how we've been this entire time. none of the guidance seems to be actually going to the science. a lot of it seems to be politics. then when you see mayor garcetti saying he holds his breath and then you see gavin newsom at the game with magic johnson, no mask. stacey abrams sitting with a bunch of kids looking like
8:07 am
hostages. the one who would be vulnerable herself isn't wearing a max. it has always been about saying it's the science. mandates, lockdowns before that, vaccine passports is what they would like to do. parents have woken up and had enough. i live in new jersey and i'm so ashamed. i mean this completely. i'm ashamed to admit that i have three kids that still wear a mask in school. it hurts my soul to say that. it is about change. we've tried to get exceptions for them. it is a state mandate. the reason phil murphy is getting rid of that mandate is not because he is suddenly following the science. the science tells him it's okay. we've known that for over a year. he is doing it and you will hear more and more of this. democrats are worried about the mid-terms. their majorities in the house and senate. joe biden promised a return to normal and you will see
8:08 am
governors and others attempt to create that return to normal not because of science but because of politics. phil murphy knows how unpopular it is. he are the masses. take off the masks and elect us again so the next time there is a variant we can throw a mask on your kid. it is cynical but it is true. >> march 8th. will anybody follow. with what we're talking about the science, it was when people came out of their houses we realized after all the lockdowns they actually had a rate of covid that could not be ignored but they said they hadn't been anywhere. now with the johns hopkins university looking at all of it together, two dozen packages of analysis and they call it a meta-analysis that they did. now we know what we thought we knew and now we have the receipt. which states fold in? connecticut, let's take a look there. a mother is going after school
8:09 am
mask mandates, pete saying they are harming our nation's kids but she gives a personal example. watch this. >> my daughter is a senior at high school. she looks over and says hi miss so and so. oh my god, hi, i didn't recognize you. i have never seen your face before. she has been in that class for 3 1/2 months. this is dehumanizing, demoraleizing and these teachers should see a human face. >> harris: i saw that on facebook and i wanted to show it to you. it made me cry. >> it gives me chills to hear that because we talk about our youngest and yes our youngest it's the silliest we wrap our youngest in a cloth mask we
8:10 am
know doesn't work as well and not vulnerable. what about the teenagers, 16, 17, 18-year-olds. never get their prom or senior year back or the opportunity to experience the things we all took for granted because they were there in front of us. it has been heartening to see some of these students in california and elsewhere. a lot comes back to look at my governor and mayor, look at the hypocrites who won't do this themselves. why do i continue walking into a school if dozens and hundreds of students will come together and say we will not comply, that's more powerful than students -- than parents at school board meetings doing their best. the customer, the end user customer is the student. if they say we're done, especially in states where they are lifting the mandate in virginia, new jersey in a month. i think they could have an effect across the country and i hope they do it. >> harris: that's really interesting. we haven't even talked about the teachers unions and their
8:11 am
role. politics are -- it is a stew of politics, right? and governor murphy in new jersey is not running in the mid-term elections. he has to help other people get there, right? he just got reelected and he can't do that if people don't want to vote for democrats based on his mandates. it is a vicious circle. i want to get to this. it has been two years since the death of dr. yang. he is the scientist who warned the world that covid was spreading throughout china. he called it a sars mystery disease and that it was spreading and he tried to get the word out with a video that he was making. i remember that from the beginning, pete. we talked about it. and now with more than 900,000 americans dead, we're not any closer to answers on exactly the origins of this. if you say wuhan laboratory in my twitter feed i get stickers. i don't know about you. house minority leader kevin mccarthy is now vowing to
8:12 am
investigate china for this if and when he says republicans regain power in november. watch. >> think about what nancy pelosi has done as speaker. she has protected china from any investigations to the origin of covid even though it has killed more than 900,000 americans. but we'll take action. when we take the majority, we'll investigate the origins of covid. you take the actions of the democrats, i do not know what china has on these people but it must be so powerful because the actions at every turn stop and harm us but protect china. >> harris: pete. >> he is right. why does it seem at every turn that nancy pelosi and her ilk are more afraid of trump supporters than they are of the communist chinesement look what she said to our athletes over in these games, our athletes shouldn't even be participating in. don't speak out. the chinese are hard core.
8:13 am
why are you talking in that way and all your policies willing to be complicit to them? we knew from the beginning it originated in china. questions how it came about. an open discussion about that. we saw scientists try to stifle that discussion including at the very top in anthony fauci. don't talk about gain of function or a lab. it is all natural origin. if you talked about it even to this day but especially at the beginning it was misinformation. you were sensored to talk about a lab leak. much of it is common sense it was probably something manufactured. the chinese government knew a lot more about it earlier than they told us about it. yet the democrats don't want to do something about it or hold them accountable? it's insane. the republicans had better double down on that investigation should they get the chance. >> harris: you know how i get so unexcited about a hearing on capitol hill because it's a lot of political gestures and posturing but i would like to
8:14 am
see the hearing with dr. fauci and the like. i would like to see that hearing based on what was going on inside that lab and not a battle between senators or making it personal. none of that. on the record very scientific. we need to know. if he can help get us there, we need to insure that happens. it will be interesting. if there is a red wave it will be interesting where we go next. pete hegseth let's get to this before i let you go. white house national security advisor jake sullivan warns russia is ready to invade ukraine possibly any day. how do they know? they have 70 to 80% of the assets in place for a full invasion. president biden is suggesting that vladimir putin cannot be reasoned with. watch. >> we are in the window. any day now russia could take military action against ukraine, a couple weeks from now or russia could choose to
8:15 am
take the diplomatic path instead. >> anything putin is looking for, sir? >> president biden: i think things he cannot get. >> harris: the u.s. military determined if russia invades it could seize the ukraine capital within 72 hours and leave 50,000 civilians wounded. you served, you've been to some of the toughest places in the world. is it alarmist to you or what do you think? >> clearly vladimir putin has ambitions to reestablish some orbit of the former soviet union. no doubt about that. i don't have any confidence in jake sullivan or joe biden the architects of the afghanistan debacle. nor do i have any confidence in general milley who is the one who gives this estimate of 72 hours. he gave us the estimate of the afghan army standing up for a year or two. it will be seven minutes or seven weeks not 72
8:16 am
hours. we know he won't be right. reality is probably the olympic games when those are offer will be a trigger for international action. they see a lame duck president and europe not willing to defend itself. it will be the ukrainians how long can they hold out. the war machine under putin is -- they're allied with china. no good options. >> harris: we didn't tell putin to do this. this is what he wants to do and i find it fascinating, pete, we're being told words not to use. don't say imminent. now we can't play alarmist or if we tell the truth it is alarmist. what is that about? >> they said the same thing -- don't say retreat, don't say the taliban are providing our security. we didn't leave equipment. it wasn't a failure. they can say what they want we
8:17 am
see what's going on and the american people do, too. weakness. >> harris: actions matter. pete hegseth, thank you for getting us started this hour. manhattan's district attorney is already walking back some of his shocking soft on crime policies. critics say you could have done that before people were harmed and dying in the subway. what is going on, too little too late? the freedom convoy still fighting canada's vaccine mandates and now gofundme is facing a broad investigation after its battle with some of the protestors. some serious claims of hypocrisy. jason rantz in "focus" next.

8:23 am
>> harris: the mayor of canada's capital city has declared a state of emergency. the so-called freedom convoy is protesting in ottawa the country's covid vaccine mandate for cross border truckers. protestors have been distributing around the capital and other major cities with roadblocks and non-stop horn honking. all of their messaging and as the demonstration reaches day 10, the city's police department warns that anybody trying to bring gas or other assistance to the truckers to keep engines running could be arrested. and then there is this part of the story. gofundme is backtracking on its decision to redistribute money donated from the nearly $10 million freedom convoy fundraiser. the platform says it will automatically refund donations. this comes as texas senator ted cruz and others are calling for a fraud investigation into
8:24 am
gofundme. >> sent a letter to the federal trade commission asking the ftc open an investigation to gofundme. when people gave money they gave money under the promise it would go to the freedom convoy, not to whatever left wing political ideology gofundme and other companies support. they are deceiving consumers and it's wrong. >> harris: jason rantz. the first thing that came to mind was your host. the gofundme for the chop zones. two people were shot and killed. they protect fundraising for that but not canadian truckers? >> they also tweeted it out on their twitter feed. they were promoting it personally. they are just revealing who they are. a lot of these online donation sites do that.
8:25 am
employ millennial activists and push back against any issue that is conservative. two black teenagers got shot and killed with chop. you had vandalism and the occupied protest site taken over violently with folks with guns and they will tell us in this case it's an occupation, it's not necessarily legal. we'll have to step aside. stop it. they have every right to say we're a left wing donation site. if you align with our services and our progressive ideals we'll go ahead and let you do what you want to do. but when they don't acknowledge that. when they pretty much lie and go after these conservative movements or anything they think are conservative they betray what they're about. it ticks off a lot of people and leads to fraudulent behavior. if i do note to a specific fund if you aren't giving it to them you give it back to me and no
8:26 am
online outrage to call it out or a threat of an investigation from senator cruz in order for them to reverse course. that is absurd. >> harris: and if we had a d.o.j. with some backbone on any of these issues that were, you know, not right you would look at also getting gofundme to immediately give that money back because you would have the hand of the law coming after you. let's move on. you actually said this would happen. i didn't think it would happen this fast, though. a stunning about face from that embattled manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. he will now walk back a couple of those controversial soft on crime policies which downgraded felonies to misdemeanors. question, is this too little too late? this is a drip, drip. it's two out of i don't know how many. op-ed for the "new york post" reads this way. d.a. bragg can't wait until nyc
8:27 am
is in mourning to get it right. his change in course is after the ambush murders of two officers. crime continues to spiral out of control. overall crime up by nearly 40% compared to the previous year. your reaction. >> it shows you the power of community engagement when you speak up in a loud, unified voice you have more power than you realize but sad the death of two cops had to be the ultimate catalyst that pushes this over the top to get him to move in this direction. but for the people who are outraged and frankly devastated by the deaths of these two officers, rivera and mora, i don't think their families would mind that that turns you into an activist in their memory and honor to find the guts to speak out against these light on crime positions and politicians who are creating an environment that makes it easier not just for cops to be
8:28 am
killed but for everyday citizens going about their day to be injured. businesses to go under and having to deal with all the shoplifting. at some point people need to speak up and we have the power when we do and this is a good example. >> harris: it was the wife of jason rivera who called out this d.a. i thought you say president biden. he was here to meet with the mayor last week. it didn't come up. it's the power of the people. all right. i want to get to a couple of things that signify where we are right now in crime from coast to coast, top to bottom. and a los angeles woman says she walked out to her car and there was a naked man in the trunk. you see the police officer coming. i mean, jason, we are at a place now where -- and he was a homeless man we're told being taken care of. he has mental health issues.
8:29 am
but can you imagine coming out and finding that in the back of your car in the trunk? >> i'm glad i don't drive. i'm glad i've made the decision to go carless for a bit. it would terrify me. the problem is i'm not necessarily shocked it happened. it doesn't happen every day but it is not one of those kinds of stories you sit back and say wow these kinds of events with homeless people dealing with mental health issues, it never happens. very clearly these things are happening in greater numbers in a more general sense because, number one, we have homeless people dealing with mental health that we're offering services but can't compel them to accept them. rather than put them into the system, put them into jail when they break the law, we're allowing them to hang out and do their thing. >> harris: under president biden's presidency in 2021 the f.b.i. says 73 police officers were killed in the line of duty.
8:30 am
the most -- intentionally, since 1995 and up by 59% from 2020. police under attack. we've got that but you see who responded there, right? you see who was in that picture? that was a cop. we are going to need them mightily if our politicians aren't going to solve some of the issues around helping the homeless. we have so much more of it now after the lockdowns. why can't we just get real? jason rantz, good to have you in "focus." thank you. he is standing by joe rogan. the head of spotify says they aren't going to cancel that podcaster. there has been plenty of controversial stuff from the clips that have surfaced. >> this has never been about health. the left and their agenda have really been obsessed with taking control of children and reinforcing the message that parents don't know what's best. >> harris: yet another top
8:31 am
democrat getting called out after she was photographed among a group of masked school kids but she didn't have to wear her mask. of course not, she is in the picture and she has to look good. who exactly do all the rules apply for? because it is certainly not to protect our children. ♪♪♪ no one deserves the american dream of homeownership more than veterans. with the newday zero down home purchase loan, you can buy a home with no down payment. and they're still holding rates in the 2s. already own a home and need cash? the newday100 loan can get you up to $60,000 or more and lower your payments by $615 a month. take ten minutes right now and make the call.

8:35 am
8:36 am
>> harris: spotify ceo telling staffers in a statement that the company will not be canceling joe rogan. he condemns what rogan says but canceling voices is a slippery
8:37 am
slope. it comes after clips of rogan using the n word and saying offensive things about black people. rogan with this. >> there is a video that's out that's a compilation of me saying the n word. it is a video that is made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast and it's all smooshed together and looks horrible even to me. there is nothing i can do to take that back. i wish i could. i do hope that if anything, that this can be a teachable moment. >> harris: i know one thing that's teachable. the size of the story. it has blown up. christina coleman from los angeles. christina. >> hi, harris. this controversial compilation video emerge end and went viral following the backlash he received from progressives over his shows about the covid pandemic and vaccines. it prompted boycotts of spotify by several musicians and now
8:38 am
another artist singer/songwriter india announced she is pulling her music from spotify. i believe in freedom of speech but i find joe rogan problematic for reasons other than his covid interviews. for me it's his language around race. rogan says his use of the n word was taken out of context in the compilation video. he used the slurs in discussion with how this word is used. >> i was also talking about how there is not another word like it in the entire english language because it is a word where only one group of people is allowed to use it and they can use it in so many different ways. if a white person says that word it is racist and toxic. but a black person can use it and it can be a punch line, a term of endearments. lyrics to a rap song.
8:39 am
a very unusual word. >> the talk show host as a $100 million deal with the spotify service. the ceo apologized for the controversy and announced spotify will invest $100 million for the licensing and marketing of music and audio content for historically marginalized groups what he calls it. he says he will not be canceling joe rogan. apparently rogan has dodged attempts to cancel him once again. >> harris: jimmy failla on fox news radio in studio with me today. i want to get your top line thoughts on this whole journey with joe rogan. >> those executives are boozing right now. how stressful. joe rogan i will never come on any air and sign off on him using the language he used. it was terrible. i can't condone the language
8:40 am
but defend his right to use it. i will be honest. if we're going to unilaterally ban anyone who uses these phrases -- >> harris: that's the thing, right? if black people will use this word in rap music or wherever it is, then what are the rules? is there a list of people who use the word, right? i need the list and the rules because to me -- to me if a word is a word and a word and not used by anybody it has to be across the board. i'm raising children. it would be easy to tell my children why it has taken off the world. >> i'm in favor of no one saying it. when there is a double standard there is no standard. >> harris: it's offensive. >> and pointing out these clips existed on podcasts for 12
8:41 am
years. his true crime as the spotify ceo knows he is on the wrong side of people who don't agree with him with covid. popular opinion is behind him. people don't want to live in a world where speech can only be sentenced to the death penalty. it has always been a tyranny in the minority and everyone is on joe rogan's side in that instance why you aren't hearing louder calls to get whoopi goldberg fired. nobody wants to live in that world. >> harris: whoopee goldburg. what makes bad horrible words better? more words. you aren't in favor of canceling anybody. not anybody. >> you do comedy and talk on the radio. i say enough stupid things in a week that if i'm throwing my weight behind cancel somebody for a wild pitch i will drive a cab in three days.
8:42 am
nobody wants to live in that world. >> harris: what do you do? in her case goldburg was suspended. what has to happen. these are -- she is off air. that's broadcast and a different fcc gets involved if she drops certain words or whatever. i'm not saying she did but we know her history. also a comedian back in the day. but this is a supported platform, this podcast. won't the market shake this out? >> that's what i think we're watching. if he has 11 million listeners per episode there is a reason he is withstanding calls from the neil young's on the world. he got famous singing about the government overreach and establishment and he was saying i'm with big pharma or else. joni mitchell. her fans weren't depressed enough? i don't appreciate them doing it. we're othering him for having
8:43 am
divergent views. he is not what they portrayed him as, an anti- vax ultraright looun particulars.-- lunatics. >> harris: let's watch joe rogan's own words here. >> they're in philadelphia and we went to go see planet of the apes. we got dropped off by a cab in this all-black neighborhood and i was trying to make the story entertaining and i said we got out and it was like we were in africa. it's like we were in planet of the apes. i did not nor would i ever say that black people are apes, but it sure sounded like that. >> those are terrible words. there is really again no version of this where end the conversation by condoning it.
8:44 am
my real frustration in this moment a lot of times we police words with more vigor than the issues they are describing. he is telling you inner city philadelphia is a terrible place. more people upset about what he said than about the fact they just broke a homicide record. that's the biggest frustration now. what you say is more important than what you do. >> harris: bring it home. i promised myself i wouldn't say the word wow today. you made me say it. we talked about all the quiet things out loud today and i know we'll see some ratio on social media. i will. oh my gosh, a black woman says that black men can't use the n word. she says they shouldn't because you say no one can. if there are exceptions i'll need a list to see whoo is on the list. >> when there is a double standard. if it's bad for me it's bad for everybody. i would sign up for that in a second. >> harris: i'm glad you came by.
8:45 am
in "focus" with jimmy failla. well, democrats hoping against hope to hang their majorities in congress -- hang on to their majorities in congress and some candidates are telling the guy at the top please don't help us out. oh, no. power panel debates next.

8:49 am
8:50 am
>> harris: we told you the story who found a naked man in the trunk of car. we traced it down. it was not in los angeles. it was actually in british columbia, canada. we apologize for the error. primaries begin in a few weeks and mid-terms are not far behind. democrats are scrambling to hold onto their tiny majorities which they watch the biden administration collect crisis after crisis they know is in jeopardy. there is an op-ed entitled joe biden is hazardous to political health. he is toxic and dems are fearful when most of them face reelection if the biden/harris anchor is tied around their own neck.
8:51 am
power panel. matt gorman, crystal knight former political director priorities usa and from emerge tennessee. crystal and matt great to see you. crystal, what do you do knowing that you will need some help before mid-terms with a president who is so far under water in polling right now on the issues that matter in your state? >> yeah, i think what you do is try to campaign on the accomplishments you have made in your respective district and think you call on state democratic leaders like your governor candidates or governor or senators if you have a democratic senator in your state. you also understand this administration just hasn't gotten the legislative victories they were hoping to get through congress this year. but you also can campaign on what this administration has done as it relates to covid. what it has done as far as the american rescue plan but absolutely have to figure out is it appropriate to bring biden or harris to your state
8:52 am
