>> trace: people have mischaracterized that florida bill a lot. thank you for the week. great to be with you in new york and here as well. i enjoyed it and learned a lot. >> dana: bill hemmer will be back tomorrow. thank you so much everybody. "the faulkner focus" is next. here is harris. >> harris: no apologies, no regrets. president biden denies he made a mistake when he went rogue in poland and said russian president vladimir putin cannot remain in power. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the president was defiant with reporters saying he was expressing moral outrage. and then now he is trying to get america and maybe even putin to believe it was not a reversal of american foreign policy. >> president biden: i'm not walking anything back. the fact of the matter is i was expressing the moral outrage i

felt the way putin is dealing and the actions of this man. just brutality. i want to make it clear i wasn't then or now articulating a policy change. i was expressing the moral outrage i feel and make no apologies for it. >> harris: the biden gaffe this time could have major global consequences. >> this is not a game. this is real history involving two nations that between them have around 11,000 nuclear weapons and involving a dictator who has to right now feel deeply paranoid. he has always assumed that the united states wanted to destroy the russian system. now he has had biden sort of blurt it out at least as seen by putin and i think that this is extraordinarily dangerous. >> harris: wow. it is clear the white house and president have not been on the same page. so they handed him one. a page, that is. we managed to get a glimpse of

when it looks like. the cheat sheet making sure he stays on message this time. fox team coverage now alex hogan is on the ground in western ukraine. lieutenant general keith kellogg standing by with analysis and at the white house peter doocy where we'll start with peter. >> and harris, we now know exactly what officials here at the white house want the president to say about all this because we have seen the notes they prepared for him. you can see the sheet in a still photo at the top there is a headline that says tough putin q and a talking points. one of the lines says i was not articulating a change in policy and he said. >> president biden: i want to make it clear i wasn't then or now articulating a policy change. >> another line said i was expressing the moral outrage i felt toward the actions of this man and then he said. >> president biden: i was expressing the moral outrage i feel and make no a fol geese for it.

>> it wasn't just the one thing officials had to clarify. i brought him some direct quotes. >> president biden: what is getting walked back? >> in the last couple days it sounded like you told u.s. troops they were going to ukraine, it sounded like you said it was possible the u.s. would use a chemical weapon and it sounded like you were calling for regime change in russia. we know -- >> president biden: none of the three occurred. none of the three. >> and another signal that things are constantly changing or just to show how fast things are changing the president just got off a nearly one hour phone call with the leaders of the u.k. germany, france and italy. these are all leaders that he saw in person less than a week ago and we're hoping for details on that call shortly. >> harris: i'm wondering what their follow up would be. macron said i wouldn't use the words biden did. i'm talking to putin. peter doocy, stay tuned to peter and he will keep us posted. now this.

>> putin sees it that way that he will not use this as an escalatory -- >> president biden: i don't care what he thinks. he will do what he is going to do. >> harris: president biden claims it does than matter what putin thinks. a former kgb agent says it matters. >> every time our president makes a personal attack on vladimir putin, i cringe because putin is paranoid. in his mind now it makes no sense to negotiate whatsoever because he will be hunted down come peace. >> harris: a "wall street journal" op-ed agrees with this quote biden at the improv. ukraine and the dangers of foreign policy by open mic. gerald baker says what if someone takes seriously his talk of u.s. troop deployment or regime change in russia?

what if? lieutenant general keith kellogg, fox news contributor, co-chairman of the center for american security and former national security advisor to vice president pence and president trump. great to have you on the program today. general, first of all does it matter not so much what the president said first or what he said second, but like the third, fourth, fifth generation of it? >> thanks, harris. what he said is foolish. somebody ought to grab him in the oval office and say you need to understand, mr. president, there is a war going on. innocent people are dying. cities are being ravaged and destroys and words matter. you said that on the campaign trail and you have to understand when you make comments like that, you are not caring when you said that you don't care about what putin thinks. what everybody has to understand and it's very important when it comes to national security. always look through your opponent's eyes and lens. when you say things what kind

of reaction will you get? i remember with president trump when we were in the oval office and talking to adversaries and kim jong-un. he would be hard on our allies he was very circumspect when he talked. words matter. i remind president biden you aren't talking to a fictional character when you were a lifeguard corn pop. you talk to somebody with a nuclear arsenal that's the same as ours and he is paranoid and losing the fight in ukraine and need to keep the pressure on. let other people talk. let me and you talk and lindsey graham. let anybody else talk but not you. you are the president of the united states and words do matter. >> harris: he would not be the first president to have a list of names for reporters to call on. this president has been want to have a list of names and pictures so he knows who he is talking to. yesterday was different.

this was direct messaging and maybe we should feel better about that, that he actually has something written down based on what you said, general. it gives you chills to think that if he makes another mistake, we could pay for it. the world could pay for it from what you are saying. >> you are absolutely right. harris. i think sensible people see that and the reason he is getting so much pushback from very responsible people. allies or people in the press or people on the street. don't say stupid stuff. >> harris: seems basic. ukraine and russia met for a face-to-face negotiation in turkey earlier today. and ukraine's foreign minister says the goal is to secure a cease-fire deal. but the united states officials are believing that putin is not ready to end the war. just what you said, general. he doesn't want to lose. he wants to save face. meanwhile, here is what's

happening in mariupol. a ukrainian missile hit a russian tank but it may be too little too late. the mayor there says the city essentially is under russian control. he says at least 5,000 people have died there. anyone left inside the city has to get out. alex hogan is live for us in lviv in western ukraine. what turned out to be a new target for russian forces a couple of days ago. alex. >> hi, we know the negotiations wrapped up after about five hours in turkey and russians say they won't meet again tomorrow. this has concluded this round of conversation. russia says that it will strategically move more of their troops out away from the capital of kyiv, which is something that we have seen them moving and shifting more of their troops to the eastern part of the country. the words were backed up earlier by the russian defense minister who underlined their

key goals. >> the liberation of donbas, ukrainian armed forces suffered considerable damage. air superiority was achieved. the air force and air defense network were practically destroyed. >> near that contested area of donbas russian troops have taken over the city of mariupol and the mayor urging people to flee. 150,000 people are still trapped. 5,000 residents have died in the last month according to the mayor's office since russian's invasion. further to the southwest of the country, there is an entry point to the black sea nikolai. if seized that city would cut off ukraine from much of its coast. an explosion there blasted a hole in a nine story government building. we have now learned at least seven people died in the blast today. most people managed to escape.

rescue teams are on scene searching for those missing. some of these towns across the country, harris, have been turned completely to rubble. ukraine president zelenskyy speaking about the damage that he has witnessed in his country saying that more than 700 educational institutions have been decimated, destroyed by shelling that we have seen. there is also comments about how much we're seeing in terms of attacks here. 40 russian missiles hitting ukraine every day. we heard the sirens in lviv 10 minutes ago. >> harris: a new target for russian forces, they want to apply the pressure and terrorize the people inside of lviv. thank you for focusing on mariupol. i want to bring back general kellogg now and get to this new report. because while those talks were going on the ukrainian peace negotiators and russian oligarch led those talks

developed symptoms. those people in the talks developed symptoms of a suspected poisoning after a meeting in kyiv earlier this month. some sources are blaming pro russian nationals from moscow saying they wanted to sabotage peace talks. they want to talk the south and earlier when they were supposed to do good-faith talks people were being poisoned. general? >> yeah, i don't trust the russians at all. they are losing this fight. they are pulling away from the crown jewel, the city of kyiv, and installation of a new government and heading towards the east. that means they're failing. we are failing, too. we should have been giving zelenskyy everything he has wanted. the s-300 air defense systems haven't arrived. they should have gotten the migs. we should be giving them every thing he wants to keep pushing back on the russians and keep

them on their heels. my concern about the negotiations, the reason the russians will keep negotiating is they'll try to get an easy play. they will try to say we'll just hold onto the east, hold onto crimea. zelenskyy should play hardball and we should support him in the west and give him if military means he needs to push the russians totally out. that probably won't happen. we won't play a role in negotiations. when you look at therylationship between putin and biden if you think we'll have a seat at the table we're not. >> harris: meanwhile biden and the white house are arguing over whether or not he said this or that or meant this or that. all of it has global consequences. general, thank you very much for being in "focus" today. today is national vietnam war veterans day. approximately 9 million americans served during the vietnam era. more than 6 million are still with us. march 29th marks the date that the last combat troops departed vietnam. 49 years ago.

and that same day hanoi freed the remaining prisoners of war. it was willing to acknowledge the end. on this day we honor vietnam veterans. former prisoners of war, those listed as missing in action and their families. in a quick second among those people who came home that leadership was general kellogg. general, if you can still hear the sound of my voice, thank you for your service. there you are. good to see you. thank you. >> thank you. >> harris: the news networks seem to have a mission when it comes to hunter biden. operation ignore. reportedly not a single mention in 37 weeks despite his scandals and some big revelations that might not bode well for president biden. plus americans are facing sky high prices from heating their homes to filling up their cars with gasoline. but president biden looks to stick it to the fossil fuel industry in his massive

proposed budget and he is going after wealthier people, too, with taxes, so on and so forth, you know. >> i would say the biden administration as so many other people in washington, d.c. are whistling past the graveyard. it will go to world rates and we'll be in a heap of trouble. ♪simply irresistible♪ ♪ ♪ ♪simply irresistible♪ applebee's irresist-a-bowls are back. now starting at $8.99. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood.

>> harris: update on the investigation into last year's capital riot. multiple outlets are reporting an eight-hour gap from january between 11 and 6:00. the house january 6 committee voted to hold peter navarro and

another man in contempt for defying congressional subpoenas. the resolution goes to the full house for a vote. >> president biden: we're reducing the size of the deficit by 2/3. making real headway cleaning up the fiscal mess i hiner ited and restores fiscal responsibility. the trump tax cuts added $2 trillion in deficit spending and helped the rich and lashlgest corporations. i'm a capitalist but if you make a billion bucks, great. pay your fair share. pay a little bit. >> harris: why the creepy whisper voice? president unveiling his budget for fiscal year 2023 as americans are facing skyrocketing inflation and record gas prices it calls for

the largest tax hike ever including a minimum 20% tax on households worth more than $100 million. remember, some of those people own businesses and they hire people but we'll move on. also an increase in the corporate tax. that rate from 21% back to 28%. now we're going in the opposite direction. remember jobs creators, we'll move on. a "new york post" editorial says biden's 5.8 trillion budget proposal would be laughable if it weren't so alarming. here is a chief global economist on fox business. >> we are forecasting a very significant economic slowdown with growth you'll see a lot of weakness on the consumer side of the equation where you have demand pulled forward in front of the covid crisis for a lot of goods and now you'll see a decline in consumer spending on those goods. >> harris: jackie deangelis live at today's fox nation

energy independence summit. so many of our cohorts were skipping out this morning. there is a lot going on where you are, jackie. first of all let's start with when things are so expensive and you have a tax hike like this, even though you hear it's on rich people, it has an effect on the economy how? >> well, it absolutely does, harris. you mentioned it in the inintroduction. rich people who pay taxes employ people and invest capital and contributes to the economy humming along. this administration has been anti-business and president biden said there he inherited this fiscal mess. actually before covid the economy was humming along quite well because president trump was incentivizing companies to employ people. we had an unemployment rate at a 50-year low and people were saying the sentiment was their lives were better than they were during the previous

administration. he came in and said he would stomp out covid. he wasn't able to do that and proposing in this budget which is a democrat wish list the original playbook that congress pushed back against. we don't want to see a 28% corporate tax rate. it will slow the economy when you see inflation and household budges are already strained. if people lose their jobs it has a trickle effect. it is when you see the slowdown, dare i say recession. >> harris: he gave us a clue saying i'm capitalist and they he stumbled. a 50 year low i want to remind everybody, people of color. that was president trump's first big victory that he talked about was the historically low unemployment rate and the better economy for particularly african-americans. and if you look at where the president is under water right

now with the support of women, latinos, blacks, independents and fox news polling i wonder if that doesn't play part of a role in that how those people are feeling now. how we americans are feeling. the president's new budget targets fossil fuel industries always calls for the elimination of a number of tax breaks used by oil and gas companies such as detuck shuns for drilling costs and credit for certain wells. this comes as americans are paying record high prices at the pump and heating their homes. jackie. >> we're here at an energy company today. fox business is doing the energy independence summit. this company delivers home heating oil. you have seen the prices of that go up and prices at the pump grow up. what you see in the proposed budget is more of this administration's anti-energy, anti-fossil fuel push, right? we're dealing with a crisis right now overseas that helped send prices up.

biden's inflation issues sent us up the first leg that consumers saw. instead of saying drillers we'll subsidize you and step back and let markets regulate themselves and let business regulate itself, he is looking overseas to opec and qatar for natural gas and saying we'll take away any of the looser regulations that president trump gave you to have this industry hum along and so this is also going to contribute to the problems that consumers are seeing and households are seeing, right? some of the biggest costs are food and energy. they like to strip that out when they look at inflation. those numbers are still even bad. this is what i'm talking about. the contributing factors to take us down a very dangerous path. you can't take and keep taxing people to death where they feel like they have no future or it is not worth going to work after a certain point >> harris: what you talked about then is the opposite of

operation warp speed. i talk about this and others have talked about it. that's what we need right now with our oil and gas companies. we need something that will get them as you say subsidies, whatever it takes to get them on the same page with the support of the white house. it doesn't appear we'll get that. >> right. >> harris: fox business anchor. finish your words. >> i was going to say we have the supplies here. under president trump we were pumping 13 million barrels of oil a day. we have it here. we need to incentivize exploration for new wells and let companies produce it. why shouldn't we profit off this crisis we're seeing overseas when it comes to reducing europe's dependence on russia for energy? >> harris: a great question we need to ask the white house that. maybe they'll put that on the president's cheat sheet list to answer. i'm not being facetious unfortunately. thank you for being in "focus." florida governor ron desantis

hammers democrats and hollywood elites after they went on the attack of his parental rights bill and even mocked it at the oscars. the critics say the president's plan to boost police funding is smoke and mirrors. the nation is battling a surge in crime that's expected to get even worse as the weather gets warmer in the summer months. jason rantz, radio host, with me next.

>> president biden: i've said it before, the answer is not to defund our police departments. it is to fund our police and give them all the tools they need, training and foundation and partners and protectors that our communities need. >> harris: well, maybe he has an eye on the mid-term elections and yes, i'm counting, 224 days from now. president biden insisting he is all for funding the police. as he unveiled a budget which calls for billions of dollars

additionally for law enforcement. most programs in the budget are not new just repurposed with new names. maybe they have to try to hire back all the people they defunded. well, there are 250 million dollars for a new community program effort, the doj adding 131 attorneys, 34 million dollars to keep prosecuting the january 6th riot, for example. critics say the plan falls way short. >> look at what is actually in this request, there is only 527 million going to the cops grant and that's what is hitting and affecting our local law enforcement in our communities. there is a whole lot of money to the tune of billions for atf and more gun control measures and gun buy back measures which in the biden administration's word are to curb gun violence. all these things do is keep guns and weapons out of law abiding citizens hands and doesn't do anything to curb the

crime. it is a smoke and mirrors misdirection. >> harris: it is all happening as crime keeps surging in mostly democrat-led large cities. let's take new york city. nypd reports 25 shootings last week. that's up from the same time last year. transit crimes are up nearly 21%. robberies 48%. felony assaults 22%. car thefts a whopping 77%. victims of violence in the city range from children age 3 and 7 to a 73-year-old man mugged in broad daylight outside "the new york times" building. a "new york post" op-ed headline. now is the moment mayor adams and governor hochul must seize to face down pro-criminals. jason rantz, seattle radio talk show host. when you look at those numbers,

jason, they aren't just chilling numbers. they represent human beings and the personal crime of taking cars while people are still in them, trying to get this them and have purchases in them are going up. those are dangerous crimes and that person can get hurt as a victim. >> absolutely. a result of policies that have said to criminals over and over and over again we aren't really serious about punishing you. we're not going to have cash bail when you are arrested, if you are arrested and the big if is because we keep defunding police departments or running cops out of town. then you get in front of a judge who buys into some of the woke garbage that is responsible for a lot of criminals being released. you have policies in place that basically are saying up front if you do this, we will not charge you. what in the world do these politicians think is going to occur as a result of that?

when you telegraph that you aren't going to punish, guess what? bad guys take advantage. >> harris: i want people to know what they're watching. let's not run it like wallpaper. that is a human being on the floor. these are random acts of violence. it is heartbreaking and very dangerous. you don't know how badly hurt those people are until police get there. some of them have not survived. in the crime-ridden chicago area, a new report sheds light on mayor lore eye lightfoot's secret protection. she has a unit of 70 chicago police officers protecting her in addition to her 20 officer bodyguard detail. this comes as the chicago p.d. has lost a large number of officers,. 660 retired in 2021. the president wants to spend all this money to get people back but in some cases you can't get back the experience you let go when you were defunding.

>> absolutely. we are losing veteran officers. officers who know what it is like to do community policing. at one point it was allowed. so they created all of these relationships with the community and now all of a sudden they are leaving because they feel like they've been betrayed by the politicians in charge. >> harris: they have been. >> they have 100% been. now we are less safe because of it. i hate to see cops leave departments, but i understand why they are choosing to do so. some of them are completely leaving policing. some are going into mid-size or smaller cities and kudos to them. now they get to protect those communities. unfortunately we lose a lot of cops every time we see garbage like this. >> harris: florida's republican governor desantis signed a parental rights bill into law and bans sexual orientation -- he is prud to stand up to hollywood and other critics of the law.

>> parents have a fundamental role in the education, well-being and healthcare of their children. we won't move from that. i don't care what corporate media outlets say or what hollywood says. if the people who held up degenerates like harvey weinstein up as exemplars and heroes and as all that, if those are the types of people that are opposing us on parents' rights i wear that like a badge of honor. >> harris: that badge of honor is pretty shiny. all the way here in new york city mayor eric adams is talking about it and he said the extremist culture war targeting the lgbtq plus community is hateful and harmful. florida's don't say gay bill is the latest shameful measure. >> it is ridiculous. what we've seen with remote learning parents got the wrong kind of woke for liberals in

charge. now they figured out what was happening in the classroom and they won't stand for it. the same thing progressives tried to do with crt. first they said it is not getting taught and it's actual history. it is a lie and we're seeing the exact same strategy. by pushing back against a non-controversial bill that says no teaching of gender identity to kindergartners to third grade is reasonable. they'll call everybody a bigot. >> harris: underestimate the parents and pay for it at the polls. we'll see it. will smith has finally apologized to chris rock publicly nearly 24 hours after the slap seen around the world. >> oh oh. oh, wow, wow.

will smith just smacked the [bleep] out of me. >> wow, dude. it was a g.i. jane joke. >> keep my wife's name out of your mouth. >> i am going to, okay? >> harris: wow. hours after the motion picture academy announced an investigation smith posted this on his instagram account. my behavior at last night's academy awards was inexcusable. jokes at my expense are part of the job but jokes at jada's medical condition is too much to bear. i would like to publicly apologize, chris. i was out of line and wrong. i'm embarrassed and my actions aren't indicative of the man i want to be. reactions have been mixed. >> there is no -- long held

perception in this country men of color especially can't control their rage and their anger and see someone who has been beloved for decades, it was troubling on so many levels. >> i think he overreacted. you've got the pressure of hoping you win and trying -- i get it. not everybody acts the way we would like them to under pressure. some people just snap. >> harris: could you say he is a liar? when the joke was first told, he was laughing and it wasn't until she rolled her eyes. she suffers are alopecia, air loss, it is hurtful to her. then he shifted gears. he is an actor. we don't know if he is lying or telling the truth when he apologizes. >> that's a good point. we get lectured by hollywood non-stop on all sorts of issues including toxic masculine tee. hopefully we can get rid of that nonsense. actual violence, they all

witnessed it, they receipt sent -- they don't want to go after another actor. to the left words are violence. actual violence isn't. and that's part of what we're seeing here. there are so many folks who believe -- the real danger -- hurt feelings, a joke, whether intentional or not doesn't matter. if you feel slighted in some way, that's the actual violence, you are the victim and chris rock isn't. i find it to be a dangerous standard that has been set. >> harris: and the receipt of that are hollywood's other elite. bradley cooper, denzel washington, tyler perry rudd ld around the guy who slapped another man hard and maybe if he closed his fist might have knocked him out. he played the role of ali. great training for that will smith. violent all around and they say oh, it's okay because it's one of them.

we'll see what happens. academy is investigating. always great to have you in "focus." thank you. we showed it to you earlier. president biden holding that cheat sheet yet again after another gaffe over the weekend on the world stage. look, you can clearly read it this time. although the ones with the reporters' pictures are good, too. operation ignore hunter is what they call it. a media research center study finds major networks have avoided covering any story of the president's son and his sketchy business dealings for the past 260 days. now critics are calling them out for it. >> the 11th commandment of journalism thou shall not broach anything about hunter biden. these networks will have to start covering this. this is a real story that could involve the president of the united states.

people with moderate to severe psoriasis, are rethinking the choices they make like the splash they create the entrance they make, the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines, and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you.

>> harris: president biden held a cheat sheet yesterday during his press conference yesterday. one question read if you weren't advocating for regime change what did you mean?

can you clarify? his answer was written on the card and he repeated it verbatim. >> harris: the fact of the matter is i was expressing the moral outrage i felt toward the way putin is dealing and the actions of this man. >> harris: it's not first time we've seen the president hold these kinds of cue cards with prepared notes for faces and names of reporters. power panel jason meister former trump advisory board member. kevin walling former campaign surrogate. kevin, you are on the defensive as the president of the united states if several days later you need a cheat sheet and actually it is not even what you had said previously. it is the white house's messaging. >> the president reaffirmed what he said on saturday in warsaw how anyone could see president putin remaining in power is beyond him. i think he expressed the will of the american people with regards to that. >> harris: do you think they

took a poll? >> they would agree with the president seeing maternity wards bombed and hospitals and schools bombed that president putin has no business remaining in power leading the russian federation. he was explaining that was an expression of his moral outrage and presidents use cue cards all the time. donald trump was meeting with victims of gun violence he had questions prepared written out and the same press photographed those cue cards. this is a non-controversy stirred up because the president took questions following that press conference including from peter doocy. so this is the latest fake controversy the president was using cue cards. this is what we now need to talk about because the president was taking questions. >> harris: it is too cute by half. >> i don't think so. >> harris: fake controversy. other presidents have had the names of reporters. the difference here is the answers are there and one of the answers was actually not what he originally said. it is messaging from the white house. and it is clear as day because he has tried to say it and

they've said it and now he has to continue to clean up. this one has global consequences, this gaffe. jason. >> joe biden said it himself, the words of a president matters and we heard the comments he made to the 82nd airborne. we heard the comments about chemical warfare. we heard the comments about regime change and the regime change comment is one of the most dangerous comments ever made by a sitting u.s. president when confronted with a nuclear power. when you have the most powerful man in the world not being able to speak truly and you can't rely on what he is saying to be true, you are in a very dangerous place. i think that's where we are right now. you can't trust the most powerful man in the world to speak publicly. >> harris: i just don't know if it benefits the country or anyone else trying to be partners with us to say that the man at the top didn't just say it and he meant it but he said it because he couldn't really control himself from saying it. he got all emotional in it.

i don't know that adictator who is killing people by the minute will see it as somebody he can sit down with trust, b, get anything done with. >> we shouldn't trust president putin. >> harris: you want to deal with him. france's president said -- >> you need to be able to negotiate. >> absolutely. >> harris: macron has said he wouldn't put it the way biden did because he macron is talking with putin. our pentagon says putin won't take our phone calls. >> he has been rallying nato and the western world. >> harris: not much has changed since he gave that talk. >> who said president bidden has done more for the ukrainian people than any president before him. he has rallied the western world against president putin.

>> the reality his is gaffe-prone foreign policy has put us in a very dangerous place in the world. he has denied the american people a very real debate on a question that could escalate into world war iii. i think he is a total disaster as it relates to ukraine and russia and causing more problems with his rhetoric. >> harris: the generals can't be wrong, kevin when they say we need to do so much more. >> he absolutely should be doing more. >> harris: hunter biden nowhere to be found on network news. despite his sketchy foreign dealings. one study shows the network coverage has not featured his name once. not one time in 260 days. not even after "the new york times" finally admitted the "new york post" laptop story was true and the damaging emails on it were real. i'll go in reverse order. jason, i'll start with you. >> we have a deeply biased and

complicit corporate media. they covered for the bidens 17 months ago when the "new york post" broke the story and covering them now when "the new york times" confirms the story. the reality of the story is not about hunter biden but about joe biden who is now president of the united states of america. he was laundering, through his son around the globe peddling his influence as vice president. it begs the question how can we trust a sitting u.s. president who has taken graft in the millions all around the globe? how can we trust him to deal with things like ukraine and russia when his son was taking bribes from ukrainian oil and gas companies? >> harris: let's put the question to kevin. >> this president has been the most transparent president in modern history. 40 years of joe biden's tax returns. there is an ongoing investigation in delaware into hunter biden's finances and taxes. that should proceed but we should not jump to conclusions based on speculation and what has been released is far. let the process play out. let's have that conversation.

let's cover it clearly. fox is clearly covering the situation with hunter absolutely. those are valid questions that need to be answered. >> harris: wow, that's transparent. >> we are reporting on emails published in the "new york times." >> harris: thank you, both.
