he lived there for more than 50 years. neighbors rallied and started a gofundme campaign. if you want to donate see the address on the screen. their goal of the they want to build him a new home. >> dana: hard to go through but certainly 94 and world war ii veteran. >> bill: news conference 30 minutes away new york police department. >> dana: a lot of news today everybody. harris faulkner is up next on "the faulkner focus". here she is. >> harris: if the white house successful, you will have to put on that mask again when you are on a plane or other transportation. how is that going to go? we're learning the department of justice is going to court to force millions of americans to return living under a mask mandate. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the doj is appealing a federal judge's decision striking down president biden's mask mandate and why would president biden

chance going against the public polling that shows, yeah, they're not listening to his health officials, the top ones anymore. he thinks he can win in part because the cdc announced masking while on public transportation is still necessary for at least another two weeks. i'm asking what happens in two weeks that's not happening now? you know, with the science. but maybe it's not about the science. the white house also is suggesting that this is about protecting the cdc's authority going forward. press secretary jen psaki had to clean up the president's comments on the issue earlier this week. >> mr. president, should people continue to wear masks on planes? >> president biden: that's up to them. >> the president was answering the question literally. right now we're not imme mnting the mask mandate because of the court order which we disagree with while he is still abiding by cdc guidance and we recommend americans do that

across the country. >> harris: on msnbc an anchor asked his new colleague and former advisor to the white house. >> they don't want to get in front of this. is it because of the snake bitness? >> much has been made from the biden/harris administration about leading with signs and listening to the science. i don't know if it's overcorrecting. we all are going through this together. you can't fault the white house what they did is roll with the punches and rolled with the punches very well. >> harris: they're rolling now. they're asking the doj to do their fight to get millions of people to put the masks back on. "washington examiner" headlines points out mask mandate exposes divide between vulnerable democrats and bide than. tammy bruce, fox news contributor, host of get tammy bruce on fox nation joining me in los angeles on special

assignment. you are here with me. tear you have i can to see you. we were both able to take a couple of flights where people could make their choices about masking. magical in two weeks where we can do it anyway but the white house wants to fight it for now. >> covid is taking a spring break. it is gone and won't affect you. what is fascinating here and you have touched upon it, the compulsion to confess. both initial statement and by jen psaki confirmed this is about maintaining the authority of the cdc. they like what they've been able to do during the pandemic. issue orders, bypassing congress. just have congress make an order if this is so important for national transportation and led joe biden sign it. they want to maintain the authority of the cdc separate from the political branch as of course it's all political to make these orders. in the meantime you have a dynamic where the american people understand now the

politics of all of this. and i think what they are doing is they say they will appeal this but at this point they haven't issued a stay. as you've noted, what's going to be the difference in the next two weeks? it is the 11th circuit court of appeals now mostly, i believe, trump appointees which means this would likely get to the supreme court. i think that's good. because we don't want this to happen again. we don't want the cdc to be a tyrant and a dictator and that's where these judicial decisions, that's what will be cleared up. this is like another afghanistan, if you will. every single thing they've done has been a disaster. this decision is a disaster. they will lose at every court level but it makes it look like they are fighting and they will fight to the he little rock shun and that's the extent of it. i believe we'll still win on this. >> harris: there is room for the criticism that there is no love for corporations from this

white house. and why do i say that? why do i say there is room for those critics? always at the table we enjoy every view, but i get that one. particularly in this instance because the corporations, those airlines get caught in the middle. they make the announcement we're mask-free. you slap that back on for two weeks and look at the position you put flight attendants in then, right? as they walk the balance beam between the biden politics and then reality through the science. i do want to get to this because biden has a bigger problem now inside of his party. the complicit liberal media who jog with him. they are sounding the alarm over ending public transit mask mandates. watch this. >> not only not the right time. a little early but not even the right manner in which they were overturned. >> this decision with single handedly accelerate cases throughout the u.s. counterproductive to our shared

goal of return to normal. >> if fact we're using the narrative about exercising your freedom is very disturbing to me. the cdc is asking for is a small, small sacrifice. >> harris: you know he won't get what he wants, the president, right? what will he do with those left leaners? are they going to hate on him. hear from passengers who say it's time to move on. >> very happy to not wear a mask. >> a lot less stressful than having to worry masking for everybody. >> seems like it is time to be done. a point where we're just done. >> harris: here is what's not happening. we aren't hearing about science anymore. we still have in a pandemic. we do need to know more about the science of this virus. they are completely in political mode. >> everyone sees it and that's what's interesting. the average person recognizes it. what you said previously about putting regular people in this

position, it confirms the politics of it where you don't have to wear it for two weeks but now you do wear it for two weeks. it's the authority, and this, that and the other thing. it makes it worse to be on it and then off it. fascinatingly the one comment from a commentator this will hurt our return to normal. getting back to normal will hurt the return to normal. what happened to biden's we're going to overcome covid and get back to normal. what they want is masks to be normal. this is an issue about control. this is why the american people haven't liked it. putting on that mask and people on our flights without a mask, it reminds you of the impact of them. that is going to set in for these next two weeks and there will be -- maybe they want the divide in the country. some people have liked the government being able to issue these orders, regular leftists want to reinforce government control. and they need a fight but this can't be it. it is harming the country.

>> harris: look no farther than your school boards to figure that out as you have seen people come into communities and sit on those boards who might have an agenda. i want to get to title 42, though. because all of this is happening with the back drop of as i said, still a pandemic. in countries where their vaccines have not proven to be as effective as here and there is a lot of conversation about how many shots you get, that's not what this is about. what this is about is if you have a prayer's hope of protecting yourself from an onslaught of people who aren't being tested and all of that title 42 help keeps them south of the border. today there is reporter from bill melugin that, well, you know, some of the border officials are telling their crews go ahead and relax some of that alalready. go ahead and don't apply title 42 already. may 23rd isn't even here yet.

>> also can't apply title 42 with so many getaways with such chaos. it's not that everyone is going through ellis island. some of the numbers have been so huge because there hasn't been any control because they are overwhelmed. imagine if at the beginning of covid we did not have trump's wall, we did not have the established security at the border, and what we would have had in california, in the southwest, was people pouring into the country not just from south and central america but from around the world as we do now. you know what the danger is, what we don't know and who is coming in from other countries who aren't vaccinated for anything, whether its tb or other thing. >> harris: we're taking care of them as a country because we're

that great. we'll do that. i don't mean greatness like pat yourself on the back. greatness by the effect we can have. >> taking away title 42 has invited more of a push to come to the border. that conversation itself regardless of what they do will show up when it ends. >> harris: thank you for getting me started and tying it in in the mask mandating situation. i don't hear of a mask mandate for the people on the border. we're giving them masks and phones. tammy bruce, thanks for being here in "focus." well oh continue the conversation now on our nation's sovereignty. art del cueto is with me now from the national border patrol council. the numbers of people coming across, those encounters with illegal immigrants have surged to the point of -- they're eye-popping but also dangerous. you have your thoughts on that. why? >> they are very dangerous.

i can tell you that under this administration, they took a secure border and pretty much just ceded everything to the criminal cartels. getting rid of title 42 is going to be the equivalent of handing the key to the front door of every american who the criminal cartels. that's how chaotic it is. they are doing this because there are no consequences. a couple of days ago we had an agent assaulted on the arizona border. he fought for over 17 minutes. he was assaulted. there was blood. and right now -- they are trying to figure out why they have not decided to go forward with prosecution under this administration where it is empowering the criminal minds. empowering criminals to come into this country including the cartels coming into the united states. >> harris: i want to pause there for a second.

you and i have done immigration town halls together and talked about this conversation down to the border, all of that for years now. in the last year, i hear an urgency in your voice. while we don't know why they aren't adjudicating for prosecuting that case, i'm sure you have some thoughts. >> harris, i'm heartbroken. i am seriously heartbroken. as somebody that has seen the men and women out there putting their lives on the line. i have lost friends there because they've been attacked by the criminal element. to see this administration completely turn their back on those men and women, turn their back on the families who lost loved ones out there working and turned their back on the american public i'm heartbroken. you have had me on here so many times and spoken about the issues happening down here. i've been infuriated, angry, frustrated. right now i am heartbroken.

heartbroken. people in the political positions that do not care about the men and women that are putting their lives on the line and don't care about this country. >> harris: i will ask my team to put up the video for this. police in michigan released the footage that show officers chasing a car that they saw was being driven by an illegal immigrant transporting 20,000 fentanyl pills from a drug cartel in mexico. the suspect ditched the car and attempted to runaway. when police served the car they found 500 pounds of fentanyl. it is less about the money and more about the amount. talk to me about this, art. >> it is an eye opener that everyone needs to understand. drugs are coming into country not staying in the border states. what the cartels are doing they flood one area of the border, they know full well that agents will have to respond to that area. that they will have to transport and process.

many times having to do hospital watch. it's leaving gaps in the southern border. now getting rid of title 42 it will be beyond chaotic. this administration knows it and none of them are doing anything about it. >> harris: we'll see if the messaging continues to be rather mall able coming out of the white house and president. are they really going to do may 23rd and snatch back title 42? is that really going to happen? we're already seeing according to bill melugin at the border that there is a little massaging now. maybe they aren't applying title 42 to everybody coming over. a little slide already happening. we're all over it. art, thank you for being in "focus" today. thank you. this is breaking news, actor johnny depp back on the stand facing cross examination. we won't stay with this for very long but want you to see it because so much has been verbally explosive in this case. his ex-wife's attorney introduced graphic text messages where he suggests

violence against amber heard and talked about his drug use. depp gave two days of explosive testimony and it continues. cross examination now. let's watch. >> so this picture of these four giant bags of pot, at least four, was taken in your recording studio, is that right? >> yes, sir. >> okay. you can take that down, michelle. >> are you at a good break point? >> sure, a break would be fine. >> let's take a morning recess of 15 minutes. don't talk to anybody or do any outside research, okay? you are released. >> harris: that was very quick. i want to give you a little back drop there. they now have labeled him in

the courtroom because again this is cross examination, drug user surrounded by yes men. and the list of the celebrities who were using with him now has come into more focus. we have often wondered who we might see on stand exactly out of that list but we are getting a better indication, at least, that there were others who were in his constellation, perhaps on that island that he owns that he has talked about. he says i don't want to brag but, you know, i go to an island for detox and rehab, that sort of thing. some americans that are watching this are wondering well, you know, how does this really play out? brian claypool is an attorney with me. right after the break we'll talk with brian. we have 15 minutes of a break and brian, i want to break down if he can't get his hands on the $50 million, what does he get? you'll talk about the cameras in the courtroom and the

losses and wants them to double down. an average of polling finds president biden's approval rating at 41% with his disapproval at more than 51 percent. far more people don't believe he can get the job done. cnn wrote biden didn't have a lot of goodwill with the public before this week. the conflicting messages coming out of the white house and broader democratic party make it look like there is no plan to turn things around in advance of the mid-term he little rock shuns which are just over 200 days from now. and former white house press secretary ari fleischer explained how this affects democrat voters. >> all this is a sign of how depressed the democratic base is. they were never excited by joe biden to begin with. they saw him as the alternative to donald trump. now that he is doing so poorly

and you have liberal columnists piling on it further depresses the democratic base leading to a november election where republicans surge in turnout and democrats stay home. >> harris: marc thiessen is fox news contributor and former white house speech writer and who if you were in this white house your fingers would be breaking from all of the cleanup that you would have to be writing about and fixing. >> it's crazy. >> harris: let's talk about this polling. let's talk about what it looks like to hit the reset button. >> so first of all, i mean, the democrats are trying to have it both ways in the biden administration. they are suing to restore the federal mask mandate on planes because the covid emergency is not yet over. but they are lifting title 42 at the border because the covid emergency is over. so which is it? is the covid emergency over or is it not?

they can't have it both ways. their position effectively right now is the covid emergency is over for illegal immigrants but it is not over for the rest of us. that seems to be a not politically smart approach to this whole thing and democrats understand this. this is why you have this revolt among democrats on title 42 because they realize that the only thing that is preventing biden from seeing the full consequences of his disastrous policies of the southern border is title 42. he got rid of all of trump's other border policies. got rid of the remain in mexico poll syracuse he got rid of the safe third country agreement with the central american countries. he effectively stopped deportations. they've dropped to the lowest level in history. so all that's left is title 42 between us and open borders and then he would have to really face the consequences of having millions of people crossing the border. so we haven't even seen it yet, the impact because of title 42.

>> harris: imagine how if you are running and you know you will be in a tight race and it looks like the political landscape is shifting and not in your favor as a democrat. imagine trying to parse all of what you just said on those two very important issues. we haven't gotten to parents and all the other things that are going on right now. inflation, the list is long. we haven't even gotten to any of that. imagine trying to run. consider this. the cook political report yesterday shifted eight house seats in republicans' direction. an indicator we watch. a crystal ball moved 11 toward the gop. they need to net just five seats to win the majority in november, republicans. they are cooking with oil as my mother used to say. >> they are, look.

it's not -- let's tick off all the other issues. the other issue is crime. the crime wave is getting worse. new york had one of its most violent easter weekends. it had record shootings. what people are starting to figure out is that the border crisis is related to the crime wave. the dea did a study that showed that the influx of fentanyl coming into the united states has fueled the crime wave because most of the -- in 34 cities they found that the rise in gun violence is directly related to drug crimes and drug cartels and the gangs that are working. so the border crisis is fueling the crime crisis which means it is not just border states vulnerable democrats like senator mark kelly running in arizona. it is also maggie hassan from new hampshire, as far as you can get from the border. she just went down to the border and had her picture taken in front of the border wall saying we need to build

physical barriers. you know that biden's border policies are causing political chaos. >> harris: i don't know if you heard all del cueto with me. it is like handing a key to every american's front door to the drug cartel. every state is a border state. senator blackburn from tennessee gave us that line. i want to get this. the "new york post" with this scathing op-ed democrats are in dreamland if they think biden can run and win again in 2024. fox digital spoke with some voters. many seem to agree. watch. >> no, i don't think biden should run for reelection. >> no, because he is incompetent. >> no, i don't. >> i think he is delusional to think that he is capable mentally of running again. he absolutely should not run. it would be embarrassing to the party. embarrassing to the public in general.

>> harris: ooh, that cut deep. >> ask yourself a simple question. why is joe biden president right now? why did the democrats choose him? he doesn't align with their philosophy. he is obviously not mentally fit for the job, not fully -- why did they choose him? he was the least bad candidate. they had 20 candidates and they were all disasters except for joe biden. joe biden was the -- they chose him as the trojan horse for socialism that could put a smiling face on the democratic party. they chose him because there was nobody else that could win. and so they are in the same situation now as they were in 2020. there is nobody else. did you see kamala harris speech on space? they have nobody to run.

the only democrat i think of who could win is joe manchin and he ain't getting the nomination. >> harris: i thought you would say hillary clinton and accuse you of hallucinating. anything is possible. joe manchin. the next time i talk with you, let's get into the new politics of the democrat party if they want to survive. you do have some good thoughts on that. i have to go. we have breaking news. as always appreciate you in "focus." marc thiessen, you break it down like no one else i know. thank you. let's get to it here. we'll do this differently. johnny depp back on the stand facing cross examination. the court is now inside of a 15 minute break halfway or a little more through that right now. his ex-wife's attorney is introducing graphic text messages where he suggests violence against amber heard and talked about his drug use. depp gave two days of unreal

testimony about heard and how she was violent toward him and their relationship. here is a little bit of that from today. >> she didn't like it when you were high on drugs or drunk on alcohol, right? >> she didn't like it when it was her perception when i was high on drugs. her perception is quite different than the truth. >> harris: brian claypool, criminal defense attorney in "focus." is he an attorney now? >> johnny depp? he has been doing a great job of acting for the last few days. i have to tell you, harris, this should have been a defamation trial but it is three trials in one. i saw a divorce court going on for two days. then i smelled a little personal injury case. remember the photograph of johnny depp on a gurney >> harris: and a hand. >> alleged cigarette burn on his cheek and then i smell a little defamation.

how did we get here? i feel like amber heard's lawyers should have done a better job of limiting the evidence that should have been introduced in this case. you just mentioned about amber heard being violent against johnny depp. she is not being sued for assault and battery. why that is even coming into evidence? because her lawyers have allowed that to come into evidence. >> harris: what about the cameras in the courthouse? as media we get to see something that we really haven't seen like this since o.j. simpson. what does it do for the case of either of them? >> it glamorized the case and turns it into a tv set. you saw, for example. johnny depp standing up in the testimony box the other day and showing how his mom was acting before she died and falling to the side. you would never see that in a regular courtroom. but when there are cameras it lends itself to theatrics.

>> harris: you mentioned the three cases, important topics. divorce, those are very intimate topics. we heard about their sex life and the drug-fueled existence and now saying it was her perception. you don't go to rehab on your own island unless you rehab from something. it is a circular argument. you mentioned personal injuries and very important topics we usually don't witness. are we seeing more than we should see at this point? >> excellent point. absolutely. harris, in every jury trial before a trial starts, there are what's called motions in limine lat-in for limiting evidence. good lawyers can make or break a case by filing these motions to shrink the case into the evidence they believe is relevant in the lawsuit. again, heard's lawyers should have been filing a mountain of these motions to block any evidence coming in, for example, of amber heard being violent with johnny depp. remember the comment he made

about -- about her lying about nail polish being on a napkin. her lawyer should have done a better job. this is a free for all. one other quick point it will also hurt depp. he opened the door now to all of this testimony about drug use. >> harris: audio tape comes out at 20:15. they were recording each other and she was recording him surup tishously but always came clean when he was recording her. you would have to live with him to know it to be true. there is a lot of tape. they aren't shy about the cameras, we'll start there. her audio shows that she was admitting that she had been violent on audio tape. now, i don't know how that comes into play because you are trying to do a defamation case. i'm saying these other topics are really important divorce, personal injury. but she could still walk away from that $50 million penalty he wants her to pay him because he hasn't proven defamation yet.

>> right. what depp's strategy was and it's risky, is that he engaged in character assassination against amber heard, okay? there is a concept-in-law called inadd miss able character evidence. heard's lawyers should have blocked it. what depp's lawyers got in was character evidence of amber heard. you heard the testimony. depp said i'm divorcing you. you want to punch me and she punches him and throws the vodka bottle at him and hits him. in a real courtroom without cameras and good lawyering i don't think any of that should have been coming into evidence. heard will have to go on the offensive now. she has to character assassinate depp. at the end of the day this case will be decided with what you mentioned. text messages, audio tape and witnesses, forensic evidence. >> harris: some of the witnesses could include elon musk who dated her previously.

brian, great to have you in studio with me in los angeles. before we watch live we want to warn you there is likely some graphic language that viewers may find offensive because we have been there, potentially we can always go there in this case. johnny depp. it is cross examination on the stand in fairfax county, virginia. it is live. let's watch together. >> in my youth -- >> since your youth. >> since my youth, my sister has not been necessarily privy to every single let's say move that i've made, whether it be where you would like me to go with the drug depend ensy.

>> i wasn't asking about relationships. let's do it this way. let's turn to day two of the u.k. trial. the transcript in front of you, please. >> day two. where would you like me to? >> page 279, page 28 of the document, upper right. >> thank you. page 279 that was? thank you. >> yes, sir. online -- are you there? do you have the document up?

>> online? >> i'm sorry, is it in your hands? >> yes. >> online 11, page 279 you were asked the question, question, did your sister express anxiety to you about your drug intake at around this time? your answer, my sister christie has over many, many years, since my youth, had a number of worries about my consumption growing up. yes, she talked to me many times over the course of my life and yes, with ms. heard we did speak about it. i think she and ms. heard's ability to talk to one another stopped not long after this. did i read that right? >> yes. >> when you first started seeing amber, you went a couple years without saw each other on the press tour for the movie, right? >> that's correct.

>> and when you first started seeing her after that couple year period of not seeing her, you had just been checked out of a new york hospital where you had been for a couple of days to fight alcohol use, correct? >> yes. >> and you were drinking -- you were abusing alcohol toward the end of your relationship with your prior partner vanessa, correct? >> i was drinking. >> you were drinking pretty heavily. >> were you there? >> that's my question to you, sir. >> no, i wasn't drinking that heavily. >> let's turn to the u.k. -- >> what's the definition of what you define as heavily, sir. >> let's look at what you said before. let's go to page 116 of the u.k. transcript, please. this would be in day one. >> 116.

yes, sir, 16 it was, yes. >> yeah, 116. down on to 117. on 116, line 18, the question is i think one of the problems in that relationship was your alcohol and drug addiction misuse if you prefer that word. answer, i would definitely say towards the end of my relationship with vanessa, the mother of my children, it was a very painful time to break up with someone that you have been with for 14 years and that you have two children with.

so it was a very painful time and i was more than likely trying to numb myself as much as possible. question, am i right in saying that you agree that you were abusing alcohol and drugs, but you have explained why. answer, i would say that i was abusing alcohol. i do not know that i was abusing drugs. but i was abusing alcohol for sure, yes. did i read that right? >> you did. there was a time in the early stages of your relationship with amber when you explained to her that you weren't drinking alcohol at that time because you had a problem with your liver, correct? >> yes, there was --

yeah, there was concern over the numbers as they call it over my -- about my liver. >> and you shared that with amber, right? >> yes, i did. >> and amber early on in your relationship and throughout your relationship, she didn't love the fact that you were drinking and using drugs, correct? you testified to that many times. >> objection, calls for speculation. >> rephrase. >> you understood misheard was not happy with you overusing alcohol and drugs, correct? >> from the very beginning? >> she was trying to be supportive of your sobriety, correct? >> no, sir. >> let's look at exhibit 182, please.

>> are we in day two now or -- >> this is an exhibit. you can set that back to the side, sir, thank you. >> i see. >> this is an email from -- exchange from you -- between you and elton john in july of 2013, correct? >> correct. >> and the second email down there is an email that you sent to elton john, 5:05 in the afternoon on july 13th, 2013. do you see that? >> yes, i do. >> move for the admission of 182. >> redactions need to be done. >> there are email addresses in here and i would ask the portions that are not mr. depp's be redacted as well. >> that's fine. >> no objection with those

redactions, is that correct? okay, with those redactions. >> harris: we have been watching johnny depp in cross examination and, you know, there are a lot of administrative points they're dealing with right now. redacting names and email addresses from documents and we'll pull back for now. brian claypool defense attorney is with me now. i had a question for you. the audience knows i'm not a

doctor. but i ask this because drugs have been such a part of this trial. so would it be something that we could expect that heard's attorneys would ask johnny depp every day, are you under the influence? that's what they do as you and i have talked about with depositions. is that something you would do if you were part of this case on her behalf? >> i told you, you could have been a trial lawyer for asking me that question. that was an excellent question. you bet. if you are heard's lawyer your first question every morning, mr. depp, are you under any medication or drugs that might impair your ability to testify today? i would ask that question every single day you are examining him. why? it plants a seed in the jury's mind maybe this guy really is a drug addict. maybe this guy didn't get these acting roles because he was doing drugs so that might defeat his damage claim, right?

>> harris: that's interesting. >> think about it. depp's lawyers opened door to all the drug use. if i'm heard's lawyers i will argue you admitted for three days you are on drugs all the time. so maybe that's why you lost all these movie deals and you don't have any damages because there is no causation. >> harris: is that why we hear him say she may have thought i was high or under the influence. that was her perception. that was far afield. she was with me and that was yesterday and the day before. it got detailed about how he was feeling and then he tried to detox and those drugs and what she wouldn't give him and so on and so forth. today she may be wrong about what she is seeing and her perception. is that a strategy? >> he is trying to mitigate. he said maybe there was some alcohol abuse but not drug abuse. because i'm sure he met with his lawyers last night and told

him you better downplay and water down the drug use and alcohol use because that -- think about it. he can't win this case. even if he can show that amber heard maliciously made false comments about domestic violence, he still has to prove damages. this all goes to damages. >> harris: right. well, it is fascinating that he thinks we don't have the tape and fascinating that she doesn't know she is on camera half the time. it isn't a good look for amber heard wherever they have her sitting in the courtroom. and her attorneys on that. an interesting position for her to be frozen sometimes. >> yeah. >> harris: brian claypool, great to see you. we'll see how it turns out. we want to get to breaking news. the suspect under arrest in the stabbing death of a not in queens, new york. orsolya gaal was established nearly 60 times. the case blew up in new york.

people couldn't imagine this happening in this neighborhood. the suspect 44-year-old david bonola is believed to be the handyman police were looking for earlier this week. bryan llenas is live in queens with more. >> nypd wrapped up a press conference where they confirmed that david bonola, 44 years old was the handyman of the gaal family in that $2 million home. they had a relationship, an affair between the stay at home mom and david bonola for two years on and off. it came to an end in april and now she is dead. murdered by bonola. apparently according to the police he confessed to this murder earlier this morning just before 1:00 a.m. listen. >> we believe that after disposing of the body, mr. bonola fled through forest park where investigators discovered the jacket believed to be worn by him during this vicious

crime. investigation revealed on saturday mr. bonola received treatment for wounds to both hands at an area hospital. >> at about 12:30 in the morning david bonola made his way into that home. there was no forced entry. they believe he may have either used a spare key or was let in by 51-year-old orsolya gaal. she was stabbed inside the house after 12:30 in the morning some 55 times and stuffed into her child's hockey bag and dragged a half mile away by david bonola. david confessed to this to police over the last 24 hours. this heinous crime has a man under arrest and faces three charges including second degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon as well as criminal tampering. one more note, harris, this person, david bonola, arrived

in the united states 21 years ago from mexico. i asked about his immigration status and we weren't given anything on that. >> harris: there is so much more to this story and that last point you make speaks to all of what we're dealing with right now in america with basically an open border. bryan llenas, thank you very much. black lives matter. the organization staying silent on 2020's skyrocketing number of black murders. criminal justice experts say the defund the police movement contributed to those deaths. crime statistics show the number of murders of black americans increased by 32% from nearly 7500 in 2019 to more than 9900 in 2020. a recent "new york post" op-ed says leftists anti-police policies have led to a startling number of black/latino crime victims. i want to bring the executive

director of american rising pact. and a former biden campaign surrogate. we'll dig into the politics of this issue. i'll start with you. as you look at this, the defund the police movement was something that you saw some democrats trying to back away from while others now still leaning into it. >> yeah, great to be with you. that's exactly turning into a relish yu for democrats heading into the mid-terms. we've seen at america rising across the board that crime and public safety is becoming a top issue there with the economy for a wide swath of voters. also note one of the democrats who raised the flag on this after 2020, abigail spang berger, she said aligning ourselves with defund the police is costing us at the polls. her district has gone from lean

democrat to toss-up. as the map expands for democrats in the mid-terms these opportunities for republicans to pick up the seats on this very issue is becoming more prevalent. >> harris: kevin, talk to me about the political shift or gymnastics that some democrats will have to do. the democrat mayor of new york city eric adams pointing a finger at blm the organization. where are you in the streets after george floyd? that's a deflection on his part maybe. but is that where you see other democrats going saying wait a minute, wait a minute. this is not our fault? >> that's a good question. i think that's why you saw the president come out so strongly in his state of the union address just last month where he said we cannot defund the police. he has never supported that and has called for increasing resources for community policing, for the atf. cracking down on ghost guns as he did from the rose garden

last week because he knows what a liability it is that some members of my party, i think the fringe left, have called for defunding the police. i fundamentally reject that. the leader of my party, rejects that and we need to support law enforcement and provide more resources for community policing across the board. these statistics are not just horrifying they are attached to an individual who has lost their life and we need to do more to prevent that. >> harris: it's interesting. democrats including your party's leader as you call biden. you aren't wrong, it is a funny way to put it over and over. >> he is the leader of my party. >> harris: it's not wrong. chicago reporter challenged democrat mayor lori lightfoot on running for reelection as the crime crisis grips her city. watch this. >> real people in chicago are asking me how can you possibly even consider running for reelection as mayor of the city of chicago after all the harm you have caused?

>> i disagree with you fundamentally. and i don't think i need to address and dignify your comments one second further. >> harris: 14 shootings in that city over easter weekend. not one single suspect in custody. look, policing is a hard job, we get it. this isn't on the police. you know they are hungry to make the city safer. kevin, i mix that in with what we're talking about because it would help if democrats were clear on their messaging, your party's leader on down. they should have been strong with no police defund. no police defund but they weren't. now they are. politics are hard. >> yes, again, harris, to your point a good one. the fringe left of my party. a few members of congress who called for that. joe biden is the leader of my party and the president of the united states and says we need to fund the police and made it a hallmark of his state of the union address. mayor lightfoot can defend her

legacy going into an election year. >> bill: cassie, last words real quick. >> i would say kevin is trying to say it's the fringe left. our vice president, who when she was running as a candidate her campaign helped with the bail efforts for some of those riots we saw in the summer of 2020. i don't know if it's a fringe left issue and why we're seeing it as an issue for voters at the polls this year. >> harris: thank you for watching "the faulkner focus".
