day and being with you for the last year and a half has been wonderful, too. i'll see everybody on "the five" as well. >> bill: you are very lucky. a great partner and colleague and great friend. i see how many things you do for other people down the line. >> dana: same. thank you, thank you. harris faulkner is up next. >> keep abortion safe and legal. >> they want roe v. wade to stay. pro-choice protestors popping up making it personal. they went to the personal homes of conservative u.s. supreme court justices over the weekend sparking new safety concerns for those justices and their families. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". in one state, reaction to leaked roe v. wade opinion took

a frightening turn when people hurled at least one homemade explosive, a molotov cocktail and they did so into the offices of a wisconsin anti-abortion group. pro-life activists also protested outside churches after the pro-choice group ruth sent us tweeted out a call to action on mother's day. the white house again defending people's right to protest but added this. protests must be peaceful and free of violence, vandalism or attempts to intimidate. all of which the president condemns in any case. republican senator bill cassidy says it's already going too far. >> i'm pro-life and against mob rule. the left has been attempting to intimidate the court with mob rule. the left has been attempting to intimidate the court by threatening to pack it, by threatening violence. now we're seeing the violence. >> the "wall street journal"

editorial board says everyone has the right to protest but assailing the families of judges at home is a blatant attempt at intimidation. if the leaker wanted to mobilize pob -- public -- it is the left's onslaught on the legitimacy of the supreme court. in "focus" now will cain, co-host of "fox & friends" weekend. great to see you this morning. first of all, let's start with that intimidation and that threat of violence. >> yeah. unfortunately, harris, it has become par for the course when it comes to the left in achieving their outcomes. i find that "wall street journal" editorial you pointed to incredibly revealing. democracy has been the verbal tick that the left rallies around but it is all a trojan

horse and fake into actually just achieving whatever is their desired outcome. i want you to think about that for a moment. the process. democracy is a process. there isn't a single process that the majority of the left hasn't been willing to undercut in order to achieve their outcome. pack the supreme court. there is a pillar of our republican, small r republic in the united states of america. pack the supreme court. destroy it. leak from the security. there is no care or concern about due process for police officers. lead to conclusion and outcomes. protests, mobs in the street. mostly peaceful as long as they achieve the outcome. we arrive at the draft opinion that would overturn roe v. wade and return it to democracy. what is the left's response to this issue going back to the process of the voters to democracy, take to the streets,

intimidate and threaten. they care nothing about the process including democracy. only in achieving their desired outcome. >> when president obama first came into office he had the majority, right? just like biden does now. it may be slim when you get it but you've got both chambers of congress and you have the white house. if this were such an important topic, if this were something that democrats thought would unify their party, why didn't they try to codify it then? why wait and leak and do all of that? we don't know who leaked. but why wait until there is a leak and then to say you'll do this, that and such. where were the protestors? if it wasn't enough then, when they were fully in power. >> i think two answers to that. the democratic party of simply 10 years ago, the democratic party under barack obama is quaint and meek compared to the

democratic activity is that control the democratic party today. today it's week-to-week that it changes. barack obama in 2012 was vastly out of step with the democratic party of 2022. he stood for traditional marriage, harris. and today that position is worthy of mockery and presumed bigotry. the democratic party today would destroy every process of the positions of the democratic party 10 years ago and why you haven't seen that when democrats have control. it is unpopular. roe v. wade was a shield to a very unpopular opinion accepted within the democratic party. i don't care how many polls people show me about what people think about roe v. wade. if the democrats in the senate push forward a bill to codify abortion, they will be forced to lay out the specifics of actually what they believe. and actually what they believe,

harris, is incredibly unpopular. bret baier had tim ryan, democrat from ohio on. he pushed him what would be the line? and his answer was always it's a woman's choice. and bret said 9 months, partial birth? his response was it's a woman's choice. try that with the american people. put that line and position to them and the democrats know deep down that's incredibly unpopular. >> we're looking at some of what happened as that molotov cocktail, that homemade explosive device hit that headquarters in wisconsin, that meeting place for people who do not believe in abortion. their place was attacked and so i just wanted to make it clear that's some of the video playing while you were talking. giving us really a good forensic look at what is happening inside the democrat party and why is that important? because again, they for right now are in power. so what is will they do?

they are not in power on the u.s. supreme court. i want to get to this. democrat senator chris murphy predicts the issue of abortion will drive big voter turnout for mid-term elections. however, senator lindsey graeme disagrees and says other issues like inflation and border crisis are too big to ignore. >> i think this will push a lot of people to the polls that might otherwise have stayed home. they see the fight is coming not in the state legislatures but washington as well. >> i don't believe it will change the outcome of the 2022 elections at all. when you go to the grocery store or a gas station, that is going to remind you of the incompetence of the biden administration. this is not going to take people's eyes off rocket inflation, broken border, insecure america. >> they are talking about two different things even though they were asked the same

question. murphy said it will drive people to the polls. what graham says bottom line, the outcome won't change. so murphy didn't say it will help democrats win. >> right, right. so again let's look at this two ways. a cnn poll say it could drive democratic enthusiasm up 7%. perhaps it does. the same cnn poll said it will drive republican enthusiasm by 9 points. so it's a net negative for democrats or no effect at all. i talked about this in the most recent episode of the will cain podcast that goes up today to senator graham's point. i hope you don't mind me saying this. when we check in sometimes i can hear you talking and we can hear each other. i heard you talking to soeft people that work on the show and what were you guys talking about? talking about the stock market. i'm telling you, senator graham is right. americans are worried about

this economy and it is not just the stock market. it is gas prices and pocket books. it feels like the economy is sitting on very fragile ground and i promise you, that will be driving voters come mid-terms in the fall. >> so to be specific, first of all, i'm surprised you listen to me that closely. >> i always listen. >> i'm grateful you do. but i would say this, what we were talking about was the fact that now might be a good time to get in and buy some low stocks. if you have the cash to do that, great. but some advisors are saying that things will get so expensive for people that they may want to hang on to some of that cash because they will need it for more basic stuff. then the next thing you heard me say was do we have enough baby formula? that's why i'm going now. will cain, always great to have you in "focus." i loved what you did breaking it down what's inside the democrat party and why it really matters. i'll see you soon.

all right. let's get to that. fox news alert because it is getting to be a crisis now. desperate parents searching for solutions as the baby formula shortage has hit crisis mode. resellers, the people who buy and then they take advantage of the desperation by then hiking up the price and reselling it. some are asking for as much as $120 for a single can of formula. retailers are capping in store and online purchases. you can go in and only get one or two. one mom says this. >> it is difficult trying to find formula for my child. having to check the online constantly. go to different stores. at some point something has to give. they have to put it on the shelves. it is the demand for the supply at this point. >> lydia hu is live in front of a cvs where they put a formula purchase limit in place.

our conversation, will cain heard off my mic during a commercial break. what is driving this to the point where there is no end in sight? things happen but what happened exactly to make it that desperate? >> right. well this is an ongoing problem during the pandemic with supply chain issues but it got worse back in february when abbott nutrition issued a voluntary recall for three of its formula products. that happened after four infants were hospitalized and another two died. it is possibly in connection to consuming some of their product. with that recall in place, we see a shortage now getting worse. in fact, the most recent data shows that the national out of stock average for baby formula has now jumped to 40%. just three weeks ago only seven states showed baby formula was

40 to 50% out of stock. now that has risen to 26 states and some are hit harder than others. iowa, south dakota, north dakota, missouri, texas, tennessee had the highest rates of out of stock availability for baby formula. in response, as you mentioned, retailers are limiting purchases, cvs and walgreens confirms to fox news they are limiting customers to three baby formula products her purchase. some experts say this type of rationing will encourage hoarding and bulk buying. >> unfortunately the ability to forecast who will come into your store, who is going to stockpile. it's very hard. >> now some retailers are taking advantage of the shortage. the resellers that you see perhaps on e-bay or other sites are selling baby formula that

used to cost $20 or $30 for prices we're seeing in the hundreds of dollars. the infant nutrition council of america said formula companies are committed to ensuring continued availability of infant formula for every baby. so far it doesn't seem those assurances are making any difference in the availability of these formula products to parents that are in desperate need. >> it is frightening. not every mom can pump for as long or as much as she needs to and not everybody can breast feed. this is a situation that demands an answer right now. it is a health crisis. i can't even believe we add crisis to the biden administration's list. we don't know how they played a part to make it better. can the federal government put that production policy in place where they have to make it immediately in an emergency like they did early on in the

pandemic, different president? >> that's a really good question. we haven't heard anything from the administration on this topic just yet. we do know that this is going to hit parents in the wallet. those that can afford to pay higher prices if they will go that route. they are already expected to pay $1500 a year if they need formula according to the surgeon generals. not advised that parents bye from unauthorized retailers or make it at home. not many options available for parents and particularly concerning. >> you talk about the supplemental nutrition program for women and children. most of the things missing off the shelves would fit into their food stamp type program. so they are really in trouble because likely they didn't have a lot of back stock. you can't horde buy with that.

>> abbott nutrition supplies half of wic retailers, the low income program for parents that need formula. and food. they are the supplier for half of those programs across the country. for them to issue this recall and not have a steady supply available is really going to impact low income families the most. >> great information. lydia, thank you for opening up your reporter's notebook with me today. i wanted to go deeper on this because i understand what it is like to be in that position for women across the board when this goes missing. thank you. this is such a layering, just to the audience for a minute, of why the inflation crisis under this administration is so dire. normally you might be able to absorb something like this. there might be something that could be done through that wic program.

something that could be done to put something on the shelves that are more affordable. but think about this. you can't get what you need. now you can only by one or two cans at a time and even if you could buy more you couldn't because you are cash strapped because of the inflation across the board for every other item that goes in your refrigerator. it is complicated. i hope the white house is doing more than just watching tv. i hope they are paying attention. massive fraud uncovered in the paycheck protection program. we knew this was possible ppe. they were raking in so many of our dollars during those big covid payments. it wound up in very wrong hands. details ahead and this. >> we want to escalate to a point where he is involved in a war that he can't possibly win. and that would be a war with the entire west. so he can't figure out at this stage how to get out of it.

i call them, relentlessly attack the port city coming as russia has celebrated victory day marking triumph over the nazis in world war ii. putin in his speech today accused the west of backing threats of nuclear war and provoking the conflict. >> we sawmill tear infrastructure being ramped up under the military advisors working in regular delivers re of modern weapons from nato. the danger was increasing every day. russia preventively rebuffed the aggressor. >> harris: trey yingst live in the capital city of kyiv with the latest. kray. >> russian president vladimir putin spoke in moscow today but made no major announcements about the war in ukraine. his remarks came at the victory celebrations including a parade through red square to mark the world war ii surrender of nazi

germany. 11,000 troops and military equipment rolling through the capital he made no declaration of victory and didn't announce any broader mobilization of forces but accused ukraine of planning to retake crimea and threatening nuclear war adding this. >> you are fighting for the homeland for its future so no one forgets the lessons of world war ii. so there is no place in the world for nazis. >> russian troops and separatist leaders participated in smaller parades and events in places like the southern cities of mariupol and kierson. they walked through the streets there of an estimated 2,000 ukraine soldiers are holed up underneath a steel plant. all civilians were evacuated over the past several days. these developments come as fighting continues along the eastern front lines. in the northern city of kharkiv

ukraine troops launched a successful counter offensives that could push the russians into their own territory in days. what we're seeing right now in the east is a war of attrition. the russian forces are not making successful attempts to push forward deeper into ukrainian territory but still firing missiles into this country. harris. >> harris: thank you very much. a fox news contributor now and former u.s. army special op soldier is with us. bret, you have been to ukraine the help rescue those behind enemy lines and headed back there now. we won't give very many details. we'll help keep you safe. so tell me this. how much difference does it make to see putin, for people on the ground, saying that they are the aggressors, these women and children and people that have tried to get out of the way of bombs and so on and so forth, that they are the aggressors and he is pushing back on them. >> he will say anything on the

world stage to save face. we underestimate his pride wanting to win at all costs no matter how many of his own troops are killed in the process. many of his troops won't return home. russia is losing this war not only affecting them militarily, but also this war starting to hurt at home. he has to justify at home. they don't realize what is going on. the government controls the information that is relayed to the russian citizens. they don't understand their own russian troops continue to be instructed to commit more crimes in ukraine and target non-combatants. ukraine women and children are trapped without food and water in certain places. russian troops are executing campaigns to detain and torture local officials, journalists and activists in russian

filtration camps and some are disappearing. many analysts are speculating what putin would do on victory day. his spent speech offered little clue on what he plans to do with the war. i hear from ukrainian soldiers in the field. not much has changed there. they are reporting that russia seems to be gathering more men and weapons than normal and there is fear on the ground that something big is being prepared. >> harris: canadian prime minister justin trudeau is the latest world leader to visit ukraine and met with ukrainian president zelenskyy yesterday. boris johnson and other european leaders have visited over the past few months and for the first time we're looking deeper now at joe biden, the president, because the white house says there are no plans to make him available for the trip. you saw his wife there, who had met first lady jill biden made a surprise visit to the war zone. she didn't go to kyiv.

she met with the ukrainian first lady yesterday. so how much do these visits matter and would joe biden touching down make a difference? >> i think it's important. how many other leaders from other countries have touched down? they just had -- they can't have the president of the united states show up and show his support to the ukrainian people? it bothers me the u.s. administration has no accountability still for the weapons shipments going into ukraine and no idea where the weapons are going once they hand them off to ukraine. information from some of the highest levels of government dealing with legal aid. >> harris: we're running out of time and i want to get to this. what do you mean they don't know where the stuff is going? billions of taxpayer dollars. are you telling me it is like a food drop-off and nobody gets the package? >> they have little insight into where they're going.

they drop them off and no accountability. it is so easy to account for them. the lack of ability to track them. now we have nonprofits and organizations right now still doing the work of the u.s. government. if anything our support from back home is only stepped up more since all this situation has occurred and we've been supporting medical supplies still on the front line like other groups and good folks that understand sit a war of logistics and we need to help the ukrainian people. >> harris: special ops, how dangerous would it be or could we put a plan together to put president joe biden on the ground in kyiv to show the kind of support that other leaders have shown and you feel confident that you could keep him safe? >> i think right now there are places within ukraine especially the capital that we could keep him safe absolutely. other leaders have shown up there and they can do it in a

way that protects the president and shows support to the ukrainian people. >> harris: you are the expert. depend on the detail. stay safe on your next trip. good to see you. president biden facing renewed criticism for appearing to avoid the media. but the white house again claims he speaks to the american people nearly every day. critics say that's not true. plus the furious reaction to president biden's potential plan to cancel student loans. critics call it a ploy to get mid-term election votes. the liberal media are openly cheering the president on. joe concha will be with me here on the mez. ust safelite. in one easy appointment... ♪ pop rock music ♪ >> tech: ...we can replace your windshield and recalibrate your advanced safety system. >> dad: looks great. thanks. >> tech: stay safe with safelite. schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ ♪ ♪

that idea. one "washington post" columnist made the quote political case for forgiving students loan debt. while an nbc news column calls opposition to the student loan forgiveness plan selfish and extreme. i mentioned tv. let's watch. >> the college now is insanely expensive. 50 to 70,000 more. the debt from that is crushing. and the job market when you get out of it is not that good. >> the idea is you waive student loan debt that should be able to cut through the noise and reach the younger voters harder to message to and who are harder to convey the importance democrats view it of going after the ballot in the mid-term election and voting for whatever democrat is on the ballot. >> harris: even some members of the president's own political party how all of it will be paid for. republican congressman says it is utterly unfair to the thousands of people who worked

so hard, their tails off to pay back their student loans just to have uncle sugar in the form of joe biden forgive it. joe concha, fox news contributor, media and politics columnist for the hill. we'll get to the uncle sugar. the bitter pill. you have broken the economy through high spending and inflation but you want to give some people that you like who you think will vote for you a break. am i getting it? >> any sane economist will tell you it will only add to the 40 year high inflation as well. a bad idea. like the oprah administration. you get a free loan and you get a free loan. it is trying to energize the far left base of the party, younger voters. throwing at money during voters is a time honored tradition in d.c. president has many allies in the media will push it as a great thing. a big chunk of these loans are

held by those who have advanced degrees. that means law school, medical school. my wife went to medical school and became a doctor and paid back her loan over many, many years. you have to wonder where does the forgiveness end? can i get my mortgage and auto loan forgiven? how about we forgive the debts of those cancer patients that can't afford to pay their bills back, right? that's where we are at this point. again, when you have inflation where it is now above 8%, when this president entered office it was below 2. this is what you'll do to buy votes in it's a ball of wrong. >> harris: jen psaki speaking with howie kurtz ahead of her last day, which is this friday. she will hop over to msnbc. he asked if president biden is surrendering a key part of the bully pulpit by rarely holding news conferences or sitting down in journalists for interviews. >> i would say the president speaks to the american people nearly every day.

sometimes twice a day about -- i think our objective and our role and focus here speaking to the public. certainly engaging in and valuing a free press which is we do and the president takes questions from the media nearly every day. >> harris: she makes it sound like a vitamin. he does it almost twice a day. in january a report said biden held fewer interviews in his first year than five previous presidents. the numbers don't lie. >> she is lying. that is a lie. she does not speak to the -- joe biden does not speak to the american people twice a day to the vitamin analogy. it is untrue what she said. the last time the president did a broadcast interview is 90 days ago. some call it a trimester, harris. look, jen psaki is a great communicator but you look at the statements and numbers.

she is going to msnbc and she claimed the republicans want to defund the police. she didn't originally condemn those mobs showing up to the supreme court justice's home where some of the justices like amy coney barrett. >> knows are voters for them. we've known there is a potential for a person we've known for weeks was going to be a commentator someplace on a network. a potential when you learn it that soon and see that language, that they are not being asked about it because they are now part of the party. >> great point. she should have left weeks ago. >> harris: kristin welker with her own network tried. >> challenged her on that and several journalists weren't happy. look who is replacing her. the next press secretary is married to a cnn political

commentator. constant conflicts of interest. where is the president's approval? great press secretary? >> it is not republicans and independents who see it is a problem. democrats are also being -- the messages are also being mixed and missed to them. >> you see more and more democrats saying privately and publicly they don't want this president to seek a second term. they would rather have an open primary and give it another shot. i don't remember this happening to a president. you have to go back to carter when teddy kennedy primary. failing on all fronts i don't see abortion saving them at this point. it is a 50/50 issue in this country. >> harris: always great to have you.

>> harris: the paycheck protection program. ppp as it was called at the height of the pandemic is now at the center of what a former u.s. attorney calls the biggest fraud in a generation. federal investigators estimate 10% of the $800 billion was taken if fraud. we're looking at it. >> we're 2 1/2 years into the pandemic and fraudsters are coming out in droves. we're finally getting a picture, a true picture, of what this fraud looks like. as we just told our viewers, it

is massive. those federal investigators from across the united states believe that we are at more than $100 billion in covid relief funding that was supposed to help small business owners make payroll since the small business administration ended the paycheck protection program, ppp exactly one year ago, the f.b.i. has made hundreds of arrests. one example this case, a family affair, harris. according to court documents richard and his wife adopted fake identities. secured $18 million in ppp loans. alleged to have use their loans to purchase gold coins, luxury watches and multiple homes across the golden state before their arrest in october 2021. richard was sentenced to 17 years while his wife sentenced to 6 years. both are waiting extradition. fox news sat down with michael horowitz, the chair of the pandemic response

accountability committee and also inspector general here at the department of justice. >> the most basic forms of trying to stop this fraud. verify the identity of the person who is applying. what we found was that basic steps to determine identity weren't undertaken. second, the treasury department has a do not pay system. turned out 57,000 loans were paid out in those first few weeks to individuals who were on the do not pay list. third, check against the deceased individual's list at the social security administration. >> 57,000 people on treasury's do not pay list received loans. something currently under investigation and now the department of justice announced two more sentencing announcements for ppp fraud. one person sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison. other people for 10 years. serious stuff, harris. >> harris: i appreciate the fact that you went back two

years. this is something that even the trump administration had talked about. they said this number is going to loom large. they were doing what they could at that time. but with that first outlay of covid relief they felt like we have to do it. apparently it happens with a lot of these agencies out lays of cash but at least this time we're trying to go after these people. thank you very much. power panel now. fox news political analyst and crystal knight. former political director of priorities usa and emerge tennessee. great to see you. i'll start with you if you could hear my last words i acknowledged the fact that he did in his reporting it was a two-year look. it happened across administrations. we're not at the height of the pandemic anymore. this current administration wants to spend again and again and again in the same way. your thoughts. >> absolutely. the level of fraud that we are seeing here would make bernie

madoff jealous. when you look at the reporting, you see that half -- half the reporting is suggesting of the folks who went in and were part of the fraud were international people. international people. the likelihood is we won't be able to catch a number of these folks and put them in jail. in addition they're saying it is unlikely recoverable. so this is the really big problem. during the trump administration, they were saying the i.g. would be responsible for investigating a lot of the things that happened. we know that when the pandemic started it felt like it might be the end of the world and people needed to get money so we understand the speed of it. but there should have been more controls on it from the onset. that was with the trump administration. >> harris: we've learned a lot. you know what? we've seen something we haven't seen before and now we've seen

it. we're in year three of this now, crystal. why ask for more money this way? >> well, i think we asked for more money because people are still experiencing economic hardship. so we don't want to penalize folks who did the right thing through this ppp program. there was a lot of fraud and waste. i'm glad this administration is taking the courage to appoint someone to investigate these things. but we cannot continue to just do away with folks who absolutely need the economic resources and support that this government can provide. so we see this administration continuing to ask for more money for those type of people. >> harris: learning from mistakes and the trump administration was very transparent about the fact that when this happened, that's where we got our first batch of numbers from. now the transparency leads on the biden administration to come up with new ideas like attack inflation, which by the way is going to affect the

mid-term elections. let's move. president biden set to give a speech on inflation tomorrow. he is reportedly going to blame republicans. that is not a solution. axios pointing out for a president who once insisted inflation was transitory biden is now talking about rising prices at every opportunity and trying to convince the american public he has a plan to lower costs. this comes as prices keep getting higher in just about every single category. don't get me started on the whole baby formula crisis. $120 a can of formula if you can find it in resellers. gas prices have soared 49% over the last year, rent, hotels, all of it, cars, everything on the rise. the part we care most about, though, is the food -- the food is ridiculously high right now if you can even find everything

you need. crystal, really, blame the republicans? biden needs a plan. >> i agree with you, harris. the president does need a plan. this administration does need a plan. there are things that we'll hear in the speech the president can say that the republicans have been obstructing his administration and legislation but ultimately this is something that this administration is having to deal with. i stated before we have to ride this inflation wave out. we're at the point now where we really do need concrete details how to move forward out of this crisis. >> harris: that's the kind of transparency. maybe they will hire crystal. >> she would do a better job than the rest of them. to that point, we're talking about inflation. we talked about it many times before. they said it would be temporary. "wall street journal" moments ago showed there was a poll done with the federal reserve bank of new york saying that

inflation is going to rise 3.9% three years from now. so additionally is what i'm saying. with that being the case, we're in a hard, tough time. many americans are having issues financially and we need a president who will have a plan like he said he would when he ran for president and he doesn't. it is unfortunate that we got lied to and people voted for him. >> harris: good to see you.
