him to play. i think he understands more than anything how many more at-bats he has in life and he won't miss this opportunity. >> no question. >> dana: we're now all on record. we'll listen to you on the radio. thank you for spending your morning with us. "the faulkner focus" is up next. here she is. >> harris: our america and nato allies willing to break the ultimate promise they made? when world war ii ended we said we would never let it happen again. the russian army of terrorists has pulled back from ukraine's capital revealing what they did to the citizens on the outskirts. ukrainian president zelenskyy says putin and his military are committing genocide trying to kill all ukrainians. we want to warn you now that the images that you are about to see are graphic and while we have even pulled back on some of them. they depict the most heinous chapter of the war we've seen

of any war in decades. i'm harris "the faulkner focus" and you are in "the faulkner focus". bodies of dead civilians lining the streets of bucha, a town outside the capital of kyiv. many have their arms bound behind their backs and showing signs of torture. images of mass grave sites, russia denies responsibility for any of these atrocities but president zelenskyy speaking on the ground a short time ago in bucha says the truth is here for everyone to see. >> what they have done to this modern ukrainian town, this is the trait of the russian troops. they have treated people worse than animals. they are military crimes and will be recognized by the world as genocide. >> harris: people who escaped from kharkiv, the second largest city of ukraine gave a firsthand account of the horrors that vladimir putin has unleashed on citizens.

>> it was so scary. many people left the city and suburbs, too. there are horrible things going on there. it is getting worse by the time. there are land mines. it was so scary. only one child survived. it was a horrible situation. raped women come to hospitals. horrible things. >> harris: a powerful "new york post" cover now using the word zelenskyy, quote, this is genocide using his words. joey jones is in "focus." first, though, let's go to alex hogan reporting from western ukraine. alex. >> hi, harris. horrific images of torture and of killing just outside of the capital of kyiv. i do want to warn again that these images are difficult to watch given how graphic some of them are. bodies of men and women with their hands and feet bound, laying there in the streets.

ukrainian forces calling it a scene of horror movie. the mayor of bucha says that more than 300 civilians like this have been killed calling these images of men and women executed in the streets atrocities that he cannot even describe. zelenskyy, the president, speaking out about the families of these russian soldiers telling them not look away from these horrifying images. >> why did you try to kill ordinary people in an ordinarily peaceful city? why were women strangled after hearings were pulled out of their ears. making fun of their bodies even after they died. >> more bodies. there is a mass grave with bodies either put in plastic bags or covered with dirt and parts of their shoes poking out and also the images of destruction of some of these cities and towns there with streets covered with military

equipment. world leaders are condemning these actions calling it war crimes. the mayor of bucha blasting russia for these atrocities. >> in relation to the civilian population the russian horde has demonstrated they were deliberately killing. they actually got a green light on their safari from putin. they actually were shooting down the ukrainian nation. ukrainian people. therefore, i have no other term to qualify that other than genocide. >> russia, however, is denying these accusations pointing the blame instead at ukrainian troops on the ground. meanwhile as we look at russian troops starting to move out of the capital of kyiv they're shifting gears and moving out of the northeast focusing all of their efforts on the eastern region specifically the donbas. harris. >> harris: alex hogan, thank you very much. always excellent reporting. really appreciate you.

joey jones fox news contributor and fox nation host and retired marine bomb technician. please note we will showing graphic images during really the entire hour at times. i just want to put that out there. my number one question is as you listen to this weekend's reaction by so many people, including some of our citizens here in america, how does this look compared to the war that you served in? wars are different. we're seeing more of this one perhaps than we've seen maybe since syria since there were cameras on the ground there. what is your take? >> this is human nature. why are americans so engaged in this and why does it feel like it hurts so much more than some of the things we seen? atrocities -- what makes this so different are two factors. one, musk was instrumental in keeping the internet up and

iphones are everywhere. images we see is the street behind us right now. the war in the middle east looked different. terrain, topography, infrastructure, buildings, lifestyle. hard to put ourselves in that position. we could have empathy for what happened but couldn't put ourselves in that position. watching the war in ukraine we can put ourselves in that position because it looks like america. it looks like the cities we live in. i think that has a different -- it hits different for americans. not to say the loss of life is any more or less relevant but it is to say this has captured news a way that probably never happened over the last 20 years the two wars i fought. when it it's right or wrong we can talk about it another day but makes everyday americans more apt to talk about it at the dinner table when they see images if they are as reported. i haven't been to ukraine, i can't say one thing is or isn't true. we know what happened with snake island. if this is exactly what it

looks like and not just war crimes by torture. going above and beyond. not just killing civilians with a gun but torturing and executing civilians. >> harris: why? we know what it accomplishes for a mad man in vladimir putin who obviously may have a strategy in all of this. that was the first thing you said when we were off camera. how do you know it wasn't part of his original plan? >> as far as securing the east and south, maybe it was. i think he thought he could pressure the ukrainian people to overthrow their government and the opposite has happened. i don't think vladimir putin sitting at the kremlin saying go ahead and execute civilians. i think it shows how mismanaged and poorly executed this entire military is. if the reports are true they are withdrawing and leaving soldiers behind being captured. en masse. if they're that disorganized how will you keep the worst nature of some people from coming out? >> harris: i want to get to

this. the nato secretary general said this about russia's changing its strategy in his opinion in ukraine. >> russia is repositioning its troops and they are taking some of them back to rearm them, to reinforce them and resupply them. but we should not in a way be too optimistic because the attacks will continue. this is not a real withdrawal but more a shift in strategy. >> harris: so he thinks it's a sh shift in strategy by the enemy. is there going to be and should there be a shift in strategy by nato and the united states? >> if what we see is our strategy at face value. i hope it isn't. what i hope is we're doing things behind the scenes we don't get to talk about here at 1211. >> harris: if we are they aren't making a difference.

>> fair enough. russia did not take kyiv or mariupol after weeks. >> harris: you think we had something to do with that? >> i think our weapons do. i have friends that work in places that are in poland providing intelligence, human intelligence resources right now to the ukraine military. i don't know if president biden is making this happen or people are smart and there. the ones i have that are there are veterans. i think the world wants ukraine to push back russia and i think that we're part of that. our military and intelligence opations. i do give biden credit when he is not sending planes. i haven't seen information to show me strategically why they are needed. ukraine is smart and if it makes it to our airwaves it makes it to the kremlin and they find out. as an operational security guy i hope we can't talk about everything the united states is doing to support ukraine in this fight.

>> harris: i know that you have been very critical of how president biden has handled the sanctions end of this until now and that we're simply still not doing all we could. >> my judgment on president biden aren't the moves he has made since russia invaded ukraine. quite honestly i don't get access to the information he or our military leaders have. i was a marine for a year so i have faith in my commander-in-chief until he fails. i didn't like afghanistan but what is happening in ukraine a small military is pushing back a large one. not to use kamala's words too blatantly with her this is a bad thing comments. >> harris: i'm not worried. >> what is happening right now incrementally ukraine is finding success on the battlefield. doesn't mean they're winning the war but they are having success. all the mistakes the

administration before. the entire cabinet. vice president down go on live television or in front of the press corps and say we're doing sanctions to deter russia and the president of the united states says sanctions aren't met to defer. that's what i'm worried about. however this ends china and taiwan are around the horizon. other things are plaguing us as a national security threat. >> harris: having been in war zones and seeing death up close. you mentioned the torture. when you hear of women being raped and when they make their way some of those who survived that from some of the soldiers, the terrorists as i call them from putin's military and able to tell their stories, what as a soldier, marine, as anyone in the military, how do you take that? >> a couple things to say on this. there is an 18-year-old marine in me that wants to go kill

every commie i can. that makes me feel like that. they are still our enemy, right? >> president biden: they are. >> there is an 18-year-old marine in me who wants to kill every bad guy who does something like that that i can. a 20-year-old marine in me that went to afghanistan and saw a 9-year-old fall out of a tree onto an i.e.d. and saw a baby get dipped into boiling water because back woods belief it is how you get rid of demons. the worst things were those two instances involving children. to see that on my tv i can't explain to you how it makes me feel. i can promise you if for some reason russia were to be successful in occupying ukraine the worst thing for russia and the russian people you can imagine. go study i.r.a. the bombs will be going off in moscow. when you treat people this way you create generations of fight and it won't give up especially when they have nothing to lose.

maybe putin is seeing that or maybe he isn't. it's the truth of human nature. read the art of war. if you push people hard enough they'll push back regardless. that's where the ukrainian people may be right now. >> harris: 18, 20 and looking good forever. >> a very old 35. >> harris: hunter biden's laptop scandal reignited after major media outlets finally confirmed the story is true and republicans are calling for more action on the headache for the white house that won't go away. and this. >> it will be a mass of drugs coming across the border, illegal activity and a tidal wave of humanity coming across the border. it will be a disaster of epic proportions. >> harris: so we're going from reporting some concerns to straight up fears of a massive illegal immigration surge after president biden announced he will end title 42 next month.

several states now suing over the move saying it will open the floodgates to states across the nation because remember, every state is a border state now because of all of the fentanyl and the crime that has been brought into the country. among all of the good people who are trying to get here, too. republican congressman jim jordan in "focus" next. i'm greg, i'm 68 years old. i do motivational speaking in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> harris: president biden has a hunter biden problem and it doesn't seem to be going away. the president's son front and center after major news outleets verified his infam otherwise laptop was will. not so-called russian disinformation. white house chief of staff ron klain doubled down on hunter biden's innocence over the weekend.

>> is the president confident hunter biden did break the law? >> of course he is confident his son didn't break the law. that's a matter that will be decided by the justice department and the legal process. something no one at the white house has involvement in. >> harris: critics are saying the justice department decision won't cut it. our own mark levin calling to take the probe a step further. >> we need a federal special counsel. we cannot leave it to garland and biden told a flat-out lie. we need a biden crime family committee and we need one right now and we need to know what the hell is going on. >> harris: mike emanuel with the news now. >> "washington post" editorial board saying the hunter biden story is an opportunity for a reckoning writing over the weekend for now what's more compelling than the assorted

accusations about the biden's behavior, why is confirmation of a story that first surfaced in the fall of 2020 emerging only now. one of the top republican senators investigating hunter biden said there are legitimate questions about biden's business dealings here. >> what's concerning to us is, is there any sort of blackmail opportunity for china against the united states because of those close working relationships? >> abc news is reporting this morning the secret service is spending more than $30,000 a month to rent out a malibu, california mansion to protect hunter biden. they selected the property to be as close as possible to the rented mansion of the president's son, where he is paying an estimated $20,000 a month according to property listings. secret service tells folks, quote, due to the need to

maintain operational security, the u.s. secret service does not comment on the means, methods or resources to conduct our protective operations. considering there are questions about how hunter biden makes his money, $20,000 a month in rent for a malibu home is only likely to add to those concerns. harris. >> harris: that's an interesting detail. mike emanuel, thank you very much. the liberal media slowly coming around to the truth. house republicans are demanding answers from big tech and want to know to whom those executives were talking when they decided to suppress the story. more importantly who were they listening to? jim jordan is leading the charge. congressman jordan. tell me about that part of it. i have said on this very program that there is a strong connection between some of these media outlets and some of the big tech giants. >> we all know they colluded 18 months ago to keep this information from the american

people and the run-up to the the presidential election. you had legacy media, big tech, democrat party and maybe most importantly 51 former intel officials sign a letter that said this has all the earmarks of russian disinformation. all that proved to be false. i think mike made a great point. the big question now is why are the mainstream press, why are they talking about this now? remember last week, wednesday of last week the "washington post" did two long stories, one at 11:and 11:05 four minutes apart about the hunter laptop being real. why all of a sudden is there a focus now on what we all knew back then was the truth. the laptop as emails and witnesses were true. why all of a sudden are they coming clean? we need to get the answer to that question. >> harris: the timeing of an

announcement. what do you think of mark levin saying we need a federal special counsel. do we? >> i think we probably do. remember, joe biden said in a debate in the presidential election that my son made no money from companies with ties to china. there are 4.8 million reasons why that's wrong. he made 4.8 million dollars, some went to his uncle. who knows if 10% went to the big guy joe biden as the famous email that was uncovered a year and a half ago. i do think this requires a special kind of focus. we'll see if that's where we can go in the american people put us in the majority or maybe the justice department will do it now. who knows? i'm curious about all these things. why the focus now? should there be a special counsel? some people have speculated there are indictments coming. i don't know if that's the case. that would explain why there is such a focus from the

mainstream press on the story today. >> harris: more indictments or more information more damning that's what's already been reported. when you hear the white house say it's up to the d.o.j. whether or not a law was broken, the president doesn't believe there were. the bigger picture in all of this it's not even about the bidens. let's set them as a bunch of people who are being looked at right now. let's get to the crux of who the man at the center is. it's about the president whether or not he was compromised. >> exactly. again, the email that tony bobulinski, the eyewitness part of this arrangement early on, the email 10% for the big guy he says that refers to former vice president joe biden, now president biden. that's the concern that senator grassley was raising and the concern the american people had. again that was kept from us. kept from we, the people, the electorate in the run-up to our

most important election, the election for president of the united states. commander-in-chief of the united states. >> harris: as i said it wouldn't matter who the president is. at this point it's president biden and he has said a certain thing and now they have to see if the certain thing is true. fox news contributor michael goodwin writes this. joe biden flying too close to the son. he makes this point. if hunter is indicted it is hard to see how his father's presidency survives because any indictment of the son, no matter how carefully drawn, will inevitably implicate the father. congressman jordan, your take. >> well, we'll have to see what's coming from the justice department. you saw that in the story in the post the 4.8 million dollars. a bunch of that money went to hunter biden's uncle. james biden. all the talk about the entire family involved. we'll just have to see what the justice department comes forward with. i don't know if that's the

reason. if there is indictments coming or the reason why you saw the stories. we'll have to see what happens with the justice department. it's the same justice department that targeted parents that we have concerns with. we'll have to wait and find out. >> harris: you mentioning the uncle. the bidens plural and what's at stake in terms of national security. fear is the word being used different from a concern that there is a huge wave of illegal immigrants to come across our border suddenly like we've never seen before after the white house would put into play what it has already announced. the end of title 42. the covid border restriction happens next month. house minority leader kevin mccarthy went after the move by tweeting. president biden is hell bent on dangerous border policies. house republicans will continue to fight for a secure border

and why i'll be leading another trip to our southern border later this month. minority leader kevin mccarthy. three states are suing to stop this from happening. arizona, louisiana, missouri. they say lifting the policy is unlawful and have an devastating impact on state. i want to get your reaction to all of it. >> well, i think it could lead to the worst border crisis ever. we've already had a chaotic situation for the past 14 months. take the democrat senators from arizona, they've encouraged the white house not to make this move. not to end title 42. the one thing that is helping us stem this unbelievable tide of illegal immigrants. 2 million in 14 months. 8,000 a day. 500% increase from what we were having a year and a half ago. that's how serious this is. reinforces what i've said for a long time. this is deliberate and intentional. the biden administration has abandoned the border because we

have seen month after month increase numbers of illegal immigrants entering our country. it is intentional and the final step of a wide open southern border. why you have three attorney generals suing and two united states senators who are democrats saying it is the wrong thing to do. >> harris: a head scratcher. the science is showing -- i want to point to wyoming and other states in our republic when i.c.u. numbers are blessed in this fight against covid in the united states right now. we know other countries haven't been that way. as they flood our border, what happened to covid? i thought this administration was focused on this. at the same time they ask for more money for covid. >> right. which is it? more money to deal with covid or no covid and we've open up the border. one of the crazy policies we've seen from this administration.

the worst administration certainly in my lifetime. it makes no sense and the american people understand it and why i do believe lord willing there will be a big change come november and the american people will put republicans back in charge. >> harris: congressman jordan from the great state of ohio, thank you for being in "focus" today. appreciate your time and expertise. >> you bet. thank you. >> harris: the white house forced to repair yet another gaffe by president biden. this one was about his wife. did you know she was vice president? plus this. >> president biden: putin's price hike is hitting americans at the pump. >> the impact of the putin price hike. >> doing everything he can to combat putin's price hike at home. >> harris: that's textbook spin from the president and the white house. even some in the liberal media say people aren't buying it. the president's oil relief creating another democratic divide. joe concha in "focus" next.

>> bill: one number they can't change. >> that number is high and there is nothing the white house can do about it other than bring down the price of gasoline. >> dana: maybe blame putin. americans don't buy this is related to the war in ukraine and most of it frankly is not. the white house is trying to do -- to do both, blame putin, blame the oil and gas companies but americans just don't agree. >> harris: when you lose cnn, the analyst saying there the white house, putin price hike and that's in quotes is the talking point. doesn't work. president biden last week announced the largest ever relief from the strategic petroleum reserves to try to lower those record high prices at the pump. but he said maybe up to 35 cents a gallon. they've gone up more than 2

bucks since he was in office. one energy company president says none of this will help and may even hurt us down the road. >> will these extra barrels have any impact on prices at the pump? >> unfortunately probably not in a good way. if we don't refill the reserves, we're in trouble because there are all kinds of other disruptions in the world. if we don't replenish that emergency reserve in the coming years we'll be more vulnerable to price spikes when the geopolitical things occur. >> harris: "washington examiner" op-ed with the headline. putin didn't give us high gas prices, it was biden. joe concha, fox news contributor and media and politics columnist for the hill. what do you think about the fact that the president is getting this so wrong? is it him, his people?

>> it's his people primarily giving him the talking points, the messaging. they're gas lighting us on gas prices. not just cnn saying it in their polls. emerson college polls twice as many voters blame the biden administration. the president said during the campaign loudly no more drilling on federal lands. no more drilling including offshore. no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill. so this was the intention. keystone five minutes into the administration the extension gone. drilling in alaska and it's having and effect and the american people aren't stupid enough to believe that putin invaded ukraine that gas prices started going up. >> harris: the president did this already in november. and it had no effect. the prices started coming down. how come you're screaming at pooun-in -- putin and execs

and blaming everybody and the war began and 40 days in still the same thing. why not change to the truth? americans know what it is. >> harris: you would think it would do that. point the finger at everyone else administration. think are all the major issues. inflation they blame covid. crime jen psaki said it was republicans who wanted to defund the police. they say the border problem is what they inherited and education they blame parents. someone else is responsible except for the people in power. >> harris: it weakens your argument to blame the man who had your job before. biden's move to tap into the oil reserve causing a rift in his democratic party. the decision is rattling progressive activists calling for clean energy instead of what he is doing now which is going to some of the dirtiest

oil refiners on the planet like venezuela. others are praising the move. watch this. >> that's a good start to sort of open the floodgates up in our country. by us releasing those resources and other nations doing that, too. it is providing pressure as russia not being a provider any longer for places like germany and the european continent in general. >> she is confused. the riddle has come back because russia can sell its energy still. >> china isn't putting the clamps on russia, either. a key partner for them over there. this is where we're at at this point. we have a media that continues to defend this administration on the talking point in terms of blaming putin. "new york times" did a fact check. an opinion piece fact check headline. republicans wrongly blame biden for rising gas prices. well, not just republicans. it's the american people as well. nobody is buying it at this

point. >> harris: another day another blunder for president biden. while commissioning a nuclear submarine over the weekend the president referred to his wife, jill, as obama's vice president. >> president biden: i'm deeply proud of the work she is doing at first lady joining forces initiative she started with i shall el obama when she was vice president and now carries on. as first lady. >> harris: the white house quickly changed the official transcript to fix his error. but not before it blew up on social media. one user tweeted this. this is what happens when he tries to stretch a disastrous week into a saturday. another with how many passes can one president get? the white house said he meant to say i instead of she and they changed the official transcript. >> pain is temporary, film forever. there it is on tape. why change the transcript?

poll after poll is now showing that a majority of americans think this president doesn't have a mental sharpness to do the job. once that impression is made, it is very hard to put that toothpaste back in the tube as far as is this guy who will be 80 years old in a couple of months, he is the right person for the job at this moment in his career? >> harris: early on in his presidency you would talk with people and citizens who take the polling, some who don't would say give him a break, everybody makes a mistake. he is known as a gaffe machine, right? now his gaffes are dangerous. not the latest one. he calls kamala harris president, right? but on the world stage they have really hurt us. >> when he is a senator or vice president you can laugh it off. joe biden being joe biden. the only john madden saying. now he is come --

commander-in-chief. when he says troops will be in ukraine and chemical weapons and vladimir putin must be removed these words have consequences, harris. >> harris: they do. >> good to see you again. >> harris: a new level on the ground in ukraine. that new level is horrific. hundreds of citizens slaughtered outside the capital city kyiv as russian forces pulled out. president biden deals with the u.s. response to the war. hillary clinton is chiming in. she says america could be doing more. i don't know if you are in trouble when you get advice from her but we'll see and talk about it. plus the new ground zero for culture wars as the mid-term elections approach. the right and the left politically battling over trans and gender issues. accusations flying. power panel. the debate you don't want to miss next.

thanks to the brave ukrainian military offensive action, there is time to resupply the ukrainians so that they can continue to defend their country. >> harris: i wonder if she called him at 3:00 in the morning to tell him he was doing a good job. hillary clinton praising president biden for his handling of the war in ukraine. in the next breath saying there is more that the united states can do in a region. not exactly a compliment. the comment when we saw seeing horrific images of a mass slaughter and torture of citizens in bucha outside of kyiv. and another warning, we're about to be showing some graphic images as we discuss this. power panel now. david avella, jason nichols. professor of african studies. this is simplistic in terms of the politics. david, you first, even hillary clinton is on the band wagon is we're not doing all we could.

>> single most important thing we can be doing is keeping the american economy strong. to be able to provide humanitarian aid, to be able to provide military aid, we need a strong economy. unfortunately the president is playing by the playbook that gives us just the opposite. higher energy prices, increase in government spending, more taxes. it doesn't make our economy stronger. it doesn't make our global allies' economies strong. if we help ukraine we have to make sure our economies are strong and that's where the president is harming ukraine the most. >> harris: that's an interesting way of putting it. jason, the bigger picture in all of this, though, with regard to energy is that the ruble has bounced back in russia and the sanctions the president said would be crippling in a month, it is 40 days now. which day of the month are we waiting for with president biden? >> well first of all thank you for having me, harris. biden's response to ukraine has

been praised by republicans as well as some of the -- including some of the president's most ardent critics like mitch mcconnell and lindsey graham. ukraine has gotten $2 billion of aid from the biden administration and also committed to giving another $500 million in aid including humanitarian and lethal aid. this administration has done really well. the people who say they want more, i don't know exactly what they are looking for other than -- >> harris: hillary clinton told you what she wanted. >> i would disagree. i think that these are the strongest sanctions that have ever been levied against any nation. >> harris: do you think they're working? >> i think sanctions take a long time to work. >> harris: longer than the month? >> yes, i do think they take a long time to really take effect because the -- >> harris: so he was wrong. >> putin understood that this was coming and he gave himself

about $600 billion in reserves. so the russian economy hasn't exactly collapsed but we've seen jobs disappear from russia. we've seen the ruble. you are saying it came back. the ruble is not as strong. >> harris: not all the way. it has bounced back because russia is allowed to still sell its energy. part and parcel that the point david in making. we need to be energy independence. >> the united states is not buying russian oil any longer. >> harris: but other people are. it hasn't hurt them that much. let's move on. trans spsh and gender issues at the center of a culture war between republicans and democrats. both parties hope to use those issues to rally their bases ahead of the mid-term elections. it is already happening. the white house rolled out a full slate of events for transgender day of visibility last week. days earlier florida governor ron desantis signed the parental rights in education

bill into law. now he is in a heated battle with disney. they are looking to everyturn the law and pushing a woke gender agenda. >> when you are trying to impose a woke ideology on our state, we view that as a significant threat. this wokeness will destroy this country if we let it run unabated. in florida, we take a very big stand against that. >> harris: the shareholders don't like this. one disney shareholder says big time, over it. stop wasting shareholders money. now it is getting hit from the left and the right. if i weren't a shareholder i would find it amusing. david. >> this is an issue, harris, that tends to reinforce voters' values more than single handedly turning a voter out. it is the crisis we have at the border, the increase prices people are paying on everyday

items. the healthcare they're dealing with because of the lockdowns they couldn't do during covid that will drive their vote and make them want to go vote. all that said, what will be interesting to watch is how this issue divides the democratic base. as you see evangelical hispanic and african-american voters looking at a party and saying is this really what i believe? to a supreme court nominee in brown jackson who doesn't know whether -- says she is not a biologist and can't tell you if one is a male or female. to those in the progressive movement pushing this ideology. >> harris: quickly i'll get your response, jason. >> well, there are some places where i think we'll agree. i think one of the things that is a real tragedy, we have lgbt youth four times as likely to

commit suicide. republicans want a conversation about who won a trophy at an amateur swim meet rather than some of the issues that would save lives. if they are really interested in helping all kinds of people, women and others, then they should be getting at these kitchen table issues. >> harris: parents are involved in this conversation. remember who happened to democrats in virginia when they ignored parents. we'll move on to "outnumbered" after the break.
