tv   The Faulkner Focus  FOX News  February 17, 2022 8:00am-9:00am PST

8:00 am
kids to embrace differences. >> bill: how did you like the show today? >> dana: good. how are you feeling about the bengals? how many more days? >> bill: i'll tell you on friday. >> dana: harris faulkner with "the faulkner focus" is up next. here she is. >> harris: being woke may be time to stick a fork in it. there is a rallying cry with huge consequences, a movement across the nation, voters across the political spectrum are fed up with activist politicians and far left agendas. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the "new york post" cover declaring the woke revolt. san francisco, the neon blue city that elected speaker nancy pelosi, overwhelmingly voted to remove three far left members of its school board. parents had complained they
8:01 am
were too focused on woke politics at the expense of dealing with the historic pandemic. karl rove says democrats had better watch out. >> it shows us even in the deepest blue of blue areas, san francisco voted 85% for joe biden, that there are a lot of parents who are upset. one of the things about woke progressivism is it's completely out of touch with the ordinary feelings of ordinary americans. democrats defend this kind of stuff. democratic office holders. ordinary democrats and a lot of ordinary independents say enough is enough. we aren't going for this craziness. >> harris: even ultraliberal msnbc sounding the alarm. >> democrats who are afraid the party is going too far. >> too many democrats just don't speak in terms of the average american comprehending what they are saying. >> democrats have to step away from the super wokeness. san francisco tells what is going on.
8:02 am
if you give the republicans the ability to point to democrats as the super woke culture focused on the wrong things that don't matter to voters, you are going to lose. it is that simple. >> harris: that was too super wokes. the "wall street journal" editorial board writes it this way. if it can happen in san francisco, of all places, democrats should be worried. they need to escape their union bondage and woke fixations. republicans have a great opportunity to press parental choice on curriculum, charters, vouchers. the woke may wake up to a far bigger shock in november. power panel now. c.w. shannon former black voices for trump and former speaker of the house of representatives and also the host a talk show and on the -- woke is on its way out if
8:03 am
they're not careful, democrats. why? >> there is no question, harris. i wish i could take full credit for this as a conservative in the midwest part of the country. the reality is the tyrants did this to themselves. we watched this country completely implode under the leadership of joe biden and even before that we saw the woke agenda of the left completely trying to separate americans with things like crt and trying to define us based upon the color of our skin not the content of our character. they've done it to themselves with these totalitarian policies that only seek to divide americans and consolidate power within the democrat party. they did it to themselves when grandma was dying nancy pelosi was going to get her hair done. when americans were watching getting pink slips and losing their jobs you had people like barack obama and aoc throwing parties and living on a different standard. the do as i say not as you see me do doesn't work anymore and americans are tired of it and they will be rewarded in the
8:04 am
mid-terms for doing what's right and standing up for freedom. >> harris: i want to get to a couple of things with you and you can roll in your rebuttal if you want. let's pop up "the washington examiner" with this. the hold democrats once had on cultural issues is breaking. why dozens of house democrats are retiring before the mid-term elections and why the party's house campaign armed warned its candidates this week if they don't figure out how to combat the gop's potent culture war attack they will lose badly. as of today, 30 house democrats are either retiring or seeking a different office. nomiki. >> the same thing is happening on the republican side because of redistricting. combating the republican rhetoric. their attacks. never let a good crisis go to waste. when donald trump was handed
8:05 am
the responsibility of really making america the leader in combating covid what does he do? he was rallying against the american government and inspiring terrorist attacks on the capitol. >> that's absolutely not true. >> harris: i'll step in there. you are putting things, incendiary things into the conversation and i know c.w. wants to rebut that. hold on. t.w. >> no way we'll pretend like donald trump was promoting terrorism. you should apologize for saying that. that's not true. reality is the reason democrats are losing is because joe biden has told us over and over that the number one problem in america is white supremacy and it is not. that's not what is facing americans. the people losing their jobs. >> harris: i will go back to nomiki. i want you to respond to that. >> young lady, i live it. bless your heart, ma'am. >> i'm a grown woman and you
8:06 am
can come up with all the code you want. the f.b.i. said the number one problem in america is organized white supremacist. >> ask the people who lost their job. >> let's talk about that. republicans are responsible for tax breaks to the wealthyest. they have no interest in unionize efforts. if we want to talk about the real issues you make all these code words to distract away from the fact that people are -- >> harris: let's talk about the real issues. let's talk about the real issues. i want to jump back in here because the far left agenda in your party and you were a surrogate for bernie sanders so you saw that your party picked more mainstream so they thought. not exactly what they are getting now but that's what they thought. let's just go back to the idea that now your brand so to speak is getting voted out potentially. people are saying we're done with this. we want you to focus on inflation and those bigger issues. what do you say about that?
8:07 am
>> if you look around the country to where the people who are not running for office again or switching districts they're pretty much more conservative districts. the centrists of the party. a senator in new york said she was stepping down and rice said she was stepping down. the conservatives who realize working people not business democrats they want democrats to protect unions, organized labor and all those attacks against the school boards now is an attack against labor. >> harris: hold on one second. let me put one more thing if here. in california we're looking at erosion of support for feinstein and pelosi. pelosi is not exactly in the middle mainstream right now and pulled a bit to the left by aoc and so-called squad members. i hear what you are saying but that is a cobalt blue state and one in which progressive politics are very hot. i want to get to this. turns out people in the golden
8:08 am
state again, which is very blue, are sourg on president biden. a new poll shows for the first time in that state more voters disapprove of his job performance than approve of it. a huge change he had as approval rating of nearly 60% last summer and won that state, both of them. that team there on the screen, won the state by 30 points. brutal numbers for the vice president kamala harris from her home state voters. only 38% approve. what is happening out there? t.w. i'm coming to you. >> you have two issues facing the american people. number on covid. the young lady mentioned the covid numbers. more people have died from covid on this president than donald trump. biden oversaw the pandemic. handed not only a vaccine and -- >> people not vaccinated are
8:09 am
dying. >> that's not true. biden has failed to lead. the second is the economy. unable to -- >> harris: t.w. and nomiki. i have to get to the u.n. right now. secretary of state blinken is speaking. he canceled a trip to germany to be there and now let's listen. >> peace and security is russia's looming aggression against ukraine. the stakes go far beyond ukraine. this is a moment of peril for the lives and safety of millions of people as well as for the foundation of the united nations charter and the rules rules based international order. this crisis directly affects every member of this council and every country in the world. because the basic principles that sustain peace and security, principles that were enshrined in the wake of two
8:10 am
world wars and a cold war are under threat. the principle that one country cannot change the borders of another by force. the principle that one country cannot dictate another's choices or policies or with whom it will associate. the principle of national sovereignty. this is the exact kind of crisis that the united nations and specifically this security council was created to prevent. we must address what russia is doing right now to ukraine. over the past months, without provocation or justification, russia has a massed more than 150,000 troopers around ukraine's borders. it says it is drawing down those forces. we do not see that happening on the ground. our information indicates clearly that these forces,
8:11 am
including ground troops, aircraft, ships, are preparing to launch an attack against ukraine in the coming days. we don't know precisely how things will play out. but here is what the world can expect to see unfold. in fact, it's unfolding right now today as russia takes step down the path to war and reissued the threat of military action. first, russia plans to manufacture a pretext for its attack. this could be a violent event that russia will blame on ukraine or outrageous accusation that russia will level against the ukraine government. we don't know exactly the form it will take. it could be a fabricated terrorist bombing inside russia. invented discovery of a mass grave. a staged drone strike against civilians. or a fake even a real attack
8:12 am
using chemical weapons. russia may describe this event as ethnic cleansing or a genocide. making a mockery of the concept that we in this chamber do not take lightly nor do i take lightly based on my family history. in the past few days russia media has already begun to spread some of these false alarms and claims to maximize public outrage, to lay the ground work for an invented justification for war. today the drumbeat has intensified in the state controlled media. we've heard some of these basic allegations from russian-backed speakers here today. in response to this manufactured provocation, the highest levels of the russian government that i theatricly convene emergency meetings to address the so-called crisis.
8:13 am
the government proclamations saying they must respond to defend ethnic russians in ukraine and russian citizens. next is attack is to begin. russian missiles and bombs will drop across ukraine. communications jammed, cyberattacks will shut down key ukrainian institutions. after that, russian tanks and soldiers will advance on key targets that have already been identified and mapped out in detailed plans. we believe they started to include ukraine's capital, a city of 2.8 million people and conventional attacks are not all they plan to inflict on ukraine. we have information that indicates russia will target specific groups of ukrainians. we've been warning the ukrainian government of all that is coming. and here today we are laying it out in great detail with the hope that by sharing what we
8:14 am
know with the world, we can influence russia to abandon the path of war and choose a different path while there is still time. now, i'm mindful that some have called into question our information recalling previous instances where intelligence ultimately did not bear out. but let me be clear. i am here today not to start a war but to prevent one. the information i presented here is validated by what we've seen unfolding in plain sight before our eyes for months. and remember that while russia has repeatedly derided our alarms as mellow drama and nonsense they have been steadily amassing more than 150,000 troops on ukraine's borders as well as the capabilities to conduct a massive military assault. it isn't just us saying this.
8:15 am
allies and partners say the same thing. and russia hasn't only been hearing from us. the international chorus has grown louder and louder. if russia doesn't invade ukraine then we'll be relieved that russia changed course and proved our predictions wrong. that would be a far better outcome than the course we're currently on. we'll gladly accept any criticism that anyone directs at us. as president biden said, this would be a war of choice. if russia makes that choice, we've been clear, along with allies and partners, that our response will be sharp and decisive. president biden reiterated that forcefully earlier this week. there is another choice russia can still make. if there is any truth to its claim that it's committed to
8:16 am
diplomacy. that's the only responsible way to resolve this crisis. an essential part of this is through implementation of the minsk agreements. with the osc and other partners involved as well. if russia is prepared to sit with ukrainian government and work through the process of implementing these commitments our friends in france and germany stand ready to convene senior level discussions to settle these issues in the normandy format. ukraine is ready for this and we stand fully ready to support the parties. progress toward resolving can talk about security issues that we're prepared to engage in with russia in coordination with allies and partners. more than three weeks ago, we provided russia with a paper
8:17 am
that detailed concrete reciprocal steps we can take in the near term to address our respective concerns and advance the collective security interests of russia, united states, and our european partners and allies. this morning we received a response that we're evaluating. earlier today, i sent a letter to russia's foreign minister proposing we meet next week in europe following on our talks in recent weeks to discuss the steps that we can take to resolve this crisis without conflict. we're also proposing meetings of the nato russia council and the osc permanent council. these meetings can pave the way for a summit of key leaders in the context of de-escalation to reach understandings on our mutual security concerns. as lead diplomats for our nations we have a responsibility to make every effort for diplomacy to succeed, to leave no diplomatic
8:18 am
stone unturned. we're presenting every opportunity for it to demonstrate that commitment. i have no doubt that response to my remarks here today will be more dismissals from the russian government about the united states stoking hysteria or that it has no plans to invade ukraine. so let me make this simple. the russian government can announce today with no qualifications, equivocation or deflection that russia will not invade ukraine. state it clearly. state it plainly to the world. and then demonstrate it by sending your troops, your tanks, your planes back to their barracks and hangers and sending your diplomats to the negotiating table. in the coming days, the world
8:19 am
will remember that commitment or the refusal to make it. i yield the floor. >> harris: well, it is all hand on deck now as we take a look at the united states secretary of state antony blinken saying is trying to prevent a war between russia and ukraine and all of the catastrophic damage and collateral damage that could happen if that were to take place. those were dire words he used. those were the types of words that you use when you want people to know how bad it can get if we don't change course right now. remember how we got here. russia started amassing troops a while ago, more than 100,000 of them. and our administration, our president of the united states, chose to wait and use words like minor incursion would not get a response at a news
8:20 am
conference. the cleanup after that it seemed to signal to russia if you just do a little something we might not do anything and then it was the rhetoric back and forth between sanctions and all the while sitting at the center of it is ukraine, not a nato member, but bordered by nato countries, that we are responsible to and for if they are harmed in any way. this is a hot spot right now. this is a tipping point potentially when you see the united states secretary of state at the u.n. wasn't supposed to be on the docket today. supposed to be talking with the nato member germany who is doing a deal on the pipeline with russia. they don't want to give that up. cancel on germany to get here and who did he follow? the president of the russian federation. blinken trying to get the world to hear that russia has a last chance to choose diplomacy. we will be all over this as it happens. a lot of big show to get to on
8:21 am
"the faulkner focus". wanted to put into focus that sharp moment in history. let's move. fox news alert. shocking preliminary numbers from the border patrol. they show some 154,000 migrant encounters on the southern border in january. that's nearly double the number from the same month just last year. record numbers continuing to flood across the border illegally. we know this. they are on camera. senate democrats are calling for a halt to the deportation of the haitian immigrants who took refuge under a del rio bridge last fall under the squall yid conditions & end for the title 42 ruling allowing to faster deportations due to the pandemic. casey stiegel is live in texas along the border. i wonder if the democrats get their way what will that look like? >> harris, really the people here on the ground say they
8:22 am
don't even know because they are so busy dealing with the current situation at hand and that is the daily trove of people that continue to cross into the country illegally and frankly the numbers that you talked about for january, they have been so guarded they are still not updated or officially released on the u.s. customs and border protection website. we had to glean them from a federal court document filed by dhs. as you've said, those numbers do tell a lot. the nearly 154,000 migrant encounters as they call them nearly double that of january 2021, and of course fox news has been showing it to you from the front lines since the very beginning. here in this spot where we are of la joya, texas, our cameras and drones capturing last night and this morning once again multiple people taken into custody by federal agents. some seeking asylum. some not wanting to be found by
8:23 am
law enforcement. they continue to primarily be from the northern triangle countries of central america. some walking or swimming across. others are smuggled in. check out these new pictures from cbp. this week they found 20 migrants locked in train cars. it was around del rio, texas. it included a 17-month-old. while agents also report high numbers of drugs that they have found bound for the u.s. this week 12 pounds of cocaine seized at one stop at a checkpoint here in south texas. it was stashed and hidden inside the door of a pickup truck. by the way, u.s. border patrol so desperate for new agents they are recruiting at the moment. some starting salaries as high as $91,000 a year. >> harris: casey stiegel. thank you very much. attorney general ken paxton, republican from texas. attorney general, just if you could give us your top line
8:24 am
thoughts of how what the democrats say they want next in the who process, title 42 and so on. how it will impact what we're living through right now. >> the numbers have gotten worse. we've doubled since biden came into office a year ago and quadrupled since trump was in office. they didn't out the numbers. we are in a lawsuit to get the numbers. they are trying to hide them and continuing the try to move people across this country as fast as they can. doesn't matter if they have covid. they aren't tested or vaccinated or background if crime. they get invited and moved around the country on purpose. >> harris: do they have to live by the federal mask mandates and the like? we're giving the masks as they cross the border. we don't have the resources to test everybody. we don't know what the situation is. we do know we're in a pandemic. >> i do know this. when texas catches them and they come across private property we do test them. so i don't know why the federal
8:25 am
government isn't testing because it's such a big deal supposedly the biden administration when they threaten to fire americans if they don't get a vaccine it seems like at the least you would test people coming across the border. >> harris: at least try to and be successful at it if you could if lives really depend on it. look, with the numbers people understand the visuals of all of that. but is there something that is going on to warrant this? i'm curious why the numbers are so high and why people are willing to harm themselves to get here? a quick warning. the images that we're about to show disturbing to especially young viewers. they show people entering this country illegally from south and central america sewing their mouths shut in protest and desperate effort to convince the mexican government to let them move in and then move north to the united states. they are trying to get here and this is -- what is this? >> yeah, this is the cartel.
8:26 am
they are recruiting people to come. they make thousands and thousands of dollars off each transportation into our country. so you have that. of course i think you have the biden administration wanting to get people here as quickly as possible before they get shut down by the courts so they are in recruitment mode, not keeping people out mode. >> harris: so people are desperate or the cartels are making them. we know the cartels have put brace lets on them to keep up with them like cattle. you are making a move on mask mandates if you can get what you are seeking. you tweeted yesterday just filed my 22nd suit against biden. this time regarding anti-science, virtue signaling masks on airlines and airports. masks on planes are not only silly but illegal, too. we see democrats over the country rolling back some of
8:27 am
their mask mandates. the president hasn't caught up yet. let's unpack it a bit and start with your fight and more than 20 times, really? >> yeah, it's consistent about the same issues. about the federal government. biden administration creating law. that's up to congress and it is unconstitutional. they don't have this role and that's where our problem is with masks. cdc does not have the authority granted by congress to do what they've done with masks and certainly they don't have the authority to make it criminal which they have suggested it could be just with a little edict from the cdc. they don't have that authority. that would be completely in the purview of congress, not this agency. >> harris: how have they gotten away with it? >> we have 29 total lawsuits in the biden administration now. we have so many issues. they try to roll out thing after thing after thing. none of which are in their authority. none of which are constitutional and we can only take on some of these fights at one time. it is taking us a while to get
8:28 am
to this issue. another example of the biden administration trying to force feed us without having the authority to do it. >> harris: is that where you are on the airports and airlines, too you say what rethe doing is illegal. try to get and stay on a plane, general paxton, if you aren't following that. it is not for the airlines, it's federal. it is top down. >> so the airlines are in a terrible situation. it is probably hurting their business. certainly makes it more difficult for them to do their jobs. they are being told by the federal government it is a law. its is not the law. it is made up law by the cdc and biden administration to force feed us into wearing the masks not proven to work and hasn't stopped the transmission of covid. >> harris: we are now told cloth masks don't work. sending homes n-95. unless you are a surgeon if -- they do it saving lives. i don't know if you put that on
8:29 am
a 2-year-old. so much here. you are in the fight and i appreciate you coming by to "focus." >> glad to do it. >> harris: seattle's mayor seems to be listening. he is now calling for more police officers after a massive cut to the police budget. however, other liberal cities still don't seem to be listening when it comes to their rates of exploding crime. will cain in "focus" next.

8:32 am
8:33 am
8:34 am
alright, so...cordless headphones, you can watch movies through your phone? and y'all got electric cars? yeah. the future is crunk! (laughs) anything else you wanna know? is the hype too much? am i ready? i can't tell you everything. but if you want to make history, you gotta call your own shots. we going to the league! >> harris: one woke city seems to be finally waking up to reality. in seattle the violent crime rate surged by 20% over last year shootings, assaults, robberies skyrocketing and it comes as more than 300 police officers have left the force over the past two years. about the same time, the liberal city embraced the defund the police movement
8:35 am
slashing the department's budget. seattle's new mayor is now realizing whoops, shouldn't have done that. it's not the answer. >> we've already begun rolling out elements of our public safety plan of the part of that plan requires more officers. the depleted staffing we see today does not allow us to react to emergencies and crime with the response times that our residents deserve. >> harris: the crime wave is also crippling los angeles right now. police say a homeless man attacked two women in broad daylight nearly raping one of them. police now warning people who live there to stay on alert. all of this as the city's liberal district attorney george gascon stands accused of retaliating against prosecutors who have spoken out against his soft on crime approach. will cain co-host of "fox & friends" weekend in "focus" now. the dire consequences of soft on crime and defund the police movements are bearing
8:36 am
themselves out and it is hard to watch. >> yeah. it is a quality of life issue. it directly impacts, harris, honestly your potential for life and death. defund the police, harris, i think even the average joe out there, the average jane, what i'm talking about is people that aren't necessarily political, maybe not plugged into the news cycle on a day-by-day basis. defund the police has broken through to the average joe or jane and i think the realization is it's one of the dumbest political movements of half a century. here is what's fascinating. it is not alone. it was accompanied by hey, let's for as long as possible keep children out of school. let's call any parent that pushes back on their education a domestic terrorist. let's think about canceling any school named after abraham lincoln. of course you know this that took place most of that in one basket in the city of san francisco. and we've seen there, by the
8:37 am
way, which you've covered, a complete cleaning house of the school board. here is what i want to say and why i bring it up. political accountability is only one mechanism for these issues that directly impact your life and potentially again your life or death. because think about these political issues come to you packaged in nice words like empathy, racial justice, you know, being someone who can rehabilitate criminals. the package sound nice. inside is something like proposition 47 in california which voters are ready to reconsider that made it possible for criminals to shoplift and flood back out. politics my point is only the first step in understanding and correcting what has happened in our culture. we need to be on the lookout for the fancy, empathetic wrapping paper. all these politics are presented in. >> harris: it is so interesting.
8:38 am
all of those wokeisms and the terms you use are filled with hope. hope is not the strategy you use to deal with the problems that you have in terms of crime and soft on crime policies and repeatism. you can have hope and it's wonderful. if you don't have strategy you'll have more crime. republican senators seeing where wokeism is in our society. let's take a look. republican senators yesterday grilled president biden's judicial nominee over her ties to progressive district attorneys. watch this closely. >> we have prosecutors who are saying to hell with the legislature and the people. we aren't going to prosecute an entire line of cases. do you agree or disagree with it? >> senator, i think -- i don't think i can give a categorical yes or no. >> just answer my questions. >> americans are horrified at
8:39 am
skyrocketing crime rates all those are the result of the policies you've advocated. >> is that the kind of approach you stand by and think is appropriate for prosecutors to take? >> harris: you saw one of the republican lawmakers there, senator say yeah, i got my answer. basically her non-answer. >> yeah, that's nina morrison nominated to be a federal district judge. i think maybe the one we should focus in on is josh hawley at the end asking her about her support for the district attorney in missouri, kim gardner. missouri is experiencing -- st. louis a 50 year murder high. a 50 year crime high. so he is asking her there is this what you support? are these the types of d.a.s and policies that you support? so just put this d.a. issue -- you've covered it, harris wonderfully. we talked about the los angeles d.a. gascon and what that has
8:40 am
done to how we began the segment. rising crime rate in los angeles to the point they are telling you to always be on alert. wokeism is presented to you filled with hope. it plays on the better angels of our nature. we want to be empathetic and we want to rehabilitate criminals. >> harris: we all want justice. >> we want to be forgiving. we all want justice. the question becomes you called it strategy. the question because your policy and ideology and strategy. does it work and create a society that is more empathetic? if you are a victim of the crime, most of the victims statistically of the minority status, black, brown, socio-economic whatever it may be. if you look for a more empathetic society have you been empathetic to the victims of criminals or does it only flow to the criminal? >> harris: i want to get what is going on in new york city.
8:41 am
the new mayor eric adams doubling down after suggesting the press treated him unfairly because of the color of his skin. he dropped the race card in an epic manner yesterday. he denies calling the press racist but still has a big problem with the media. watch. >> i don't recall one time -- not once. i want you to go back and listen to what i said yesterday and see if i used the term racist at all. i want you to do that. this is exactly what i'm talking about. when you hear something comes from my mouth you use the predisposition of your life to interpret what i say and then when i express something based on my observation, it is called a rant. >> harris: the "new york post" with two op-eds calling out mayor adams. one headline reads you are wrong, mayor adams, about race
8:42 am
and how media covers you. and this, if mayor adams makes everything about race it will be a long four years. what he said was he is on the lookout for news rooms to become more diverse. and he wants to block press access to him until the demographics in the audience of reporters look different. i learn today they are hand picking from his office who gets to talk. it is a set group of people. news rooms likely are locked in at this point. this is a false flag and it didn't work out for this mayor, will. you can't force people to do something and then block the press because they can't get it done in 24 hours. >> i heard you say yesterday you put in several requests to review mayor eric adams. none have been met with acceptance. have you not ticked the racial box he is asking for? the mayor said he didn't
8:43 am
explicitly say press rooms are racist but he is pouring every story primarily through a racial prism. he is saying white news rooms can't tell his story because he is black. that is racist in itself. if you drive everything through a racial prism i think that makes you primarily a racist. but here is the thing. to your point, harris, he is not looking for equal racial coverage. otherwise he would accept your invitation. what he is looking for is acceptable coverage. in his mind it has less to do with race and more to do with how many high fives and easy questions he will get. >> harris: his story is everybody's story. his story is crime and that affects everybody. a former cop of 22 years and now a national figure. if they can't get it right in new york city where will they get it right?
8:44 am
a place with a liberal d.a. and soft on crime policies and it is catching fire. they are looking to him and to the city. it is not about the color of his skin. it is about the color of blue, policing. will cain, great to have you in "focus." thank you for the compliment on my work. >> always love talking to you. >> harris: names and addresses exposed. how the liberal media are going after the backers of the trucker protests in canada. plus the media getting called out again after ignoring the latest bombshell findings in the durham probe. this as hillary clinton makes her first public remarks about the latest allegations. you know, infiltrating donald trump before and after he became president? computer servers. marc thiessen in "focus" next.
8:45 am
i'm so glad we could all take this trip together, son yeah. and kayak made getting here so easy- ♪ ♪ here we go. you know i'm a kayak denier! you can't possibly believe kayak compare hundreds of travel sites at once! get out! i will do no such thing. and don't use kayak to fly home, because it's not real! i'm going back to the room. compare hundreds of travel sites at once. kayak. search one and done.

>> harris: hillary clinton is calling it all a fake scandal after a court filing in the john durham investigation alleges her campaign paid for computer research to link
8:50 am
donald trump to communist russia. and the biden white house is again dodging questions about any of it. >> durham says there was a company tied to the clinton camp monitoring data in the executive office. do you know if there is still a system picking up server data? >> i would point you for any questions to the department of justice. >> online spying? >> i point you to the department of justice. >> harris: is infiltration still going on at the house? you would think the press secretary would say no, no. the president is not being infiltrated. she didn't. she sends them to the d.o.j. fascinating. house republican leader kevin mccarthy is vowing to investigate john durham's findings if the gop retakes the house and the constitutional law professor jonathan turley on "focus" many times is out with a new op-ed calling out the liberal media for pushing a
8:51 am
now debunked trump/russia collusion scandal as it is avoiding reporting on the new allegations against hillary clinton. a quote. the durham probe proves some media would rather ignore a major story than expose their role in covering it up. marc thiessen, fox news contributor, white house speech writer for bush 43 and a columnist for the "washington post". marc, let's start right where jonathan turley left off. is it fair to say that they are complicit, some in the media, in a cover-up. is that fair? >> 100%. look, for two years they covered the steele dossier and trump-russia theory incestently and turned out to be nothing more than a conspiracy theory. axios called it the greatest journalistic error in u.s. history. you would think reporters would
8:52 am
want to find out how they got duped. how did the clinton campaign convince them to follow a conspiracy tleery and blow it out of proportion and discredit themselves with this terrible reporting. they want to brush it aside. maybe they hate donald trump so much they don't want to do any reporting to vindicate him or maybe they're embarrassed and want the whole thing to go away. it is a disgrace either way. >> harris: i'm not going to say that hillary clinton wouldn't recognize a scandal if she saw one. so many with her last name attached to her. what does it do to her politically and whispered not so softly corners of the democrat party we don't want her to run for president again but she is out there more and more and more. >> she is a two-time loser already. i don't think there is a chance she will be the democratic nominee. the only reason she talks about that is joe biden is doing so poorly. but look, the reality is that
8:53 am
-- i completely understand why hillary clinton is calling it a fake scandal. she is a congenital lie area. why is the media treating it like this? they have a huge credibility problem that stems through the russia collusion conspiracy theory they covered. gallup poll. 7% of american adults say they have trust in the media. 63% say not at all or not very much. 59% believe reporters are trying to mislead people saying things that are false or exaggeration. the media destroyed its credibility. the way to get it back is not to ignore it but to dig deeper and find out how did the scandal happen? how did the country get misled? they don't want to do that. >> harris: i want to move because we stay with the liberal media and move to this. maybe they would ask questions rather than handling this situation this way.
8:54 am
the liberal media not only brutally criticizing the canada yand truckers protest but going after the identity of individual donors supporting the freedom convoy were leaked online. it has led to those donors being targeted by the "washington post", reuters and other media outlets and harassed on social media. doing that can be dangerous. >> and being pursued by the canadian government. justin trudeau has invoked emergency powers that would allow him to seize bank accounts of people who donated to the protests without a court order. unconstitutional in the united states. sticking with the theme of the media. do you recall the outrage that was expressed in this country and the media when donald trump cleared out the protestors in front of the white house? you would have thought it was the end of democracy in america. here justin trudeau is

threatening and invoking emergency powers to clear protestors out if front of parliament and to seize their bank accounts and to seize the livelihoods. it is outrageous and the hypocrisy is rank. >> harris: marc thiessen, thank you very much. a lot of breaking news this hour with the secretary of state going live from the united nations on ukraine. a full hour of the "focus." now "outnumbered" after the break. i scheduled with safelite autoglass. their experts replaced my windshield and recalibrated my car's advanced safety system. ♪ acoustic rock music ♪ >> woman: safelite is the one i trust. they focus on safety so i can focus on this view. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ it's still the eat fresh refresh™ and subway's refreshing everything like the new honey mustard rotisserie-style chicken. it's sweet, it's tangy, it's tender, it never misses.
