tv The Faulkner Focus FOX News June 6, 2022 8:00am-9:00am PDT
8:00 am
lawrence made the video. it was so fun. a great trip. the same place. he basically rescued us. this is us here on a bus and we were lost and he came with this beautiful, gorgeous horse. look at that beauty. and he was a wonderful host. great to be back. thanks for having me back. harris is next. here she is. >> harris: president biden and the democrats staring down the abyss. five months now to mid-term elections. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". 80% of american voters say their top issue right now is inflation according to a new national poll. and this part keying down is the nightmare for democrats. only 28% of those surveyed say they approve of how president
8:01 am
biden is handling that number one issue of inflation. most important to them, he is failing by a mile. about the same say they approve of how he is handling record breaking gasoline prices. another top issue for them, he is failing by a mile. within days we could creep to an average $5 per gallon for regular unleaded. 25 cents more than they were paying last week. again focusing deeper now, the price of gas has more than doubled from when biden first took office. and remember, that's the national average. it is well above $6 in california. one station north of san francisco was charging $9.50 a gallon. the administration is delusional if it thinks people can live this way and not want democrats out of office. and while the white house blames putin's war against ukraine, republicans say look no farther than the president's
8:02 am
own policies. >> biden doesn't care. he has no plans. has no idea how to deal with inflation. has no plan to deal with inflation. all he does is blame everybody else. we've watched this president go after energy so we can no longer be energy independent. the price of gasoline has doubled. >> he takes no responsibility for his economic malpractice. that's what this is. he has missed the diagnosis for over a year and the american people have been suffering. >> harris: jacqui heinrich has more from the white house. >> with more warning from ceos and business leaders it looks like we could be headed toward a recession or as elon musk said he has a super bad feeling about the economy the white house is on the defensive over their past spending that critics say contributed to the problem and made it worse. "fox news sunday" economic advisor james spirlg was defending the plan.
8:03 am
he said we're better off because of it. it did not hurt us. >> i have reporters calling me when delta and omicron hit and putin went into ukraine saying is that it? will that derail the recovery? so far you've seen resilience. that has a lot to do with the strength of the american recovery act. >> the american rescue plan is getting so much attention from critics that the white house put out a statement calling it so valuable that it made the u.s. recovery, quote, the envy of the world. but there are allegations in a new biography about janet yellen was concerned the package would inject too much money into the economy and advocated for a smaller plan. yellen put out a statement totally denying it. i never urged adoption of a smaller package and i thought it helped with strong growth. real gdp growth outpacing other
8:04 am
economies and our labor department recovering. she recently admitted she was wrong in 2021 to say that say inflation was not a problem. something that, you know, has put this white house sort of on its heels whether or not she should admit their mistakes and gotten so notable i want to point out a democrat loyalist writer for the "washington post" saying people in the white house should take a page out of yellen's book and start admitting they were wrong. >> harris: i wonder if she will admit the 2022 part and how black women not accessing abortion would hurt the economy. the president's commerce secretary playing the blame game and offering an odd defense. >> americans are struggling with inflation. but i don't think anyone predicted putin's war in ukraine. putin's war is driving the
8:05 am
price of food and gas up and that's -- we can't deny that. they didn't have an american rescue plan like we did in france. >> harris: kellyanne conway is in "focus" and her new book is out titled "here's the deal." she always tells us what the deal is. we're glad she is here today. let's start there. the war in ukraine, russian invading ukraine is just over 100 days, right? the president has been in office more than 365. not a lot of math you have to do to figure out that prices have doubled since he took office and where the blame and responsibility should be. >> no question. everybody's polling reflects the same thing. the numbers could not be more plain coming from the same mainstream media that worked overtime to make sure biden got to the white house. between the palace intrigue stories about fighting, such an
8:06 am
exodus of senior staffers including from the vice president's office. who is to blame for the devastating poll numbers. they are all writing stories last week and polls show the same thing. a searing indictment of joe biden's inability to be a man with a plan. if he would just stand up and say the following. americans these are tough times. we've made some mistakes and we're resilient. things will get better. here is my plan. they don't do that. the 10 scariest words every weekend the president and vice president have nothing on their public schedules. they are so disconnected from the american people. they don't show up at a small business or give a speech. he goes to the beach. vice president harris is nowhere on the weekends. look at her public schedule. america. you pay for her and she is nowhere on the weekends in terms of her official duties. so i have never seen polling numbers so significantly and
8:07 am
clear about what americans want a president and the democratically controlled washington to do for them, harris. if it's 28 and 27% approval on gas prices and inflation think about the tripafrt son of the breakdown. republicans and independents in the center saying they disapprove of biden's handling but only 56% of democrats saying they approve of his handling of inflation, 51% on gas prices. even members of his own party are saying wake up, joe biden, tell us what's happening. all these reports now he is upset that there aren't enough people on tv talking on his behalf. that they are accosting him. it is not a messaging problem, folks, it is a fact problem. >> harris: let's look at the weekend. you had all those aides out trying to defend him. it is almost defenseless. so it's not that he doesn't have enough people. he doesn't have enough people that can actually talk sense
8:08 am
about what doesn't make any sense. >> that's right. this weekend seeing all his advisors out there. some of them playing cover-up for themselves and doing a little -- it reminded me of what i like to tell people. remember nobody on tv is ever under oath. they are lying to the american people the way the white house does from the podium routinely. inflation was not transitory. everything in afghanistan was not going well. americans were stranded behind enemy lines and i think the chaotic and deadly withdrawal from afghanistan almost a year ago was the inflection point for many americans. but they can also forgive a president one error or two errors if they feel their own pocketbook issues and personal liberties are being attended to. they are simply not. presidents need to take accountability. i write in my book that even
8:09 am
when president trump had logs thrown in his path and investigations and subpoenas. we kept pushing the boulder up the hill and at this point in his presidency there was the regulatory relief. passed the tax cut and jobs act. he was working on energy independence, on judges that don't think the constitution is a paper towel but the law of the land. even when he was gettings things wrong we'll go in a different direction and work harder. we don't see course corrections from this white house. >> harris: where i would agree with you is the messaging was consistent. i don't know what was going on behind the scenes and what policies you wanted to push or put messaging out on. in this administration the messaging is messy and why you have a cleanup while the president goes to the beach. you can't have them all out at the same time. take a look at last week and the week before. i want to get to this.
8:10 am
democratic congressman adam schiff is now taking on republicans saying that they actually want high inflation. let's watch together. >> i think sadly the republicans are getting in our way because they would rather have the issue of inflation than really do something about it to help the country. this is what we're confronting in congress and what the administration is battling against. >> harris: trying to flip the switch. does it work? >> no. it proves to me the democrats still have not learned what those 74 million trump voters really want and expect. they're suffering. so many americans are suffering. and we never deeply examine that which we deeply disdain. they don't want to learn what is perplexing so many americans. nobody wants the prices to be high. as joe biden and adam schiff's fault they are. talk to somebody lies on tv for a living. russia collusion. they wasted three years and we
8:11 am
still got great policies passed anyway. think about this administration, the democrats control everything in washington the house, senate, white house. they don't have the mainstream media throwing logs in their path everywhere they go. they don't have the subpoenas and investigations everywhere they look and they still can't get the job done. they always want to play the blame and shame game. everybody's polls say the thing. people feel nervous about their economic situation and moving forward they project a lot of pessimism not just for the economic nation's wherewithal but their own financial situation. people are nervous and scared and want representatives like add many schiff and joe biden to respond to that. >> harris: the way that you put it makes it sound pretty simple that transparency the country was promised, particularly with president biden. i don't think anybody is hanging on adam schiff's word. they want to hear from the man
8:12 am
who spends 30% of his time in delaware. great to have you in "focus." thank you. los angeles and its progressive district attorney are seeing some outrage. it is all about him. it's over the charges in a hit and run case last summer. a teenage driver mowed down a mom and her little one who was in a stroller. and then that teenage driver got a slap on the wrist. that mom is clapping back. president biden's crime crisis. >> we keep breaking a record. the wrong kinds of records. homicides, we don't want to break that record again. every week we could fit the mass shootings. we have one every week. >> harris: deadly shootings across america and one public lawmaker says he knows exactly why that is coming together the way that it is.
8:13 am
radio talk show host jason rantz in "focus" next. i work as a personal assistant to the owner of a large manufacturing firm. i've got anywhere from 10 to 50 projects going at any given time. i absolutely have to be sharp. let me tell ya, i was struggling with my memory. it was going downhill. my friend recommended that i try prevagen and over time, it made a very significant difference in my memory and in my cognitive ability. i started to feel a much better sense of well-being. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. ...the tower cam for a - hey! folks, we seem to have a visitor. it looks like - looks like you paid too much for your glasses. ...who? anyone who isn't shopping at america's best - where two pairs and a free exam start at just $79.95. book an exam today. i have fantastic news for fellow veterans who need money for their family where two pand home.a free exam start at just $79.95. there's a powerful va benefit that veterans have earned, but many don't even know about.
8:14 am
it's the va home loan benefit. as a veteran, you're eligible to apply for a refinance loan for up to 100% of your home's value. not just 80% like other loans. the newday 100 va loan lets you refinance your mortgage, consolidate your high-rate credit card debt, get cash and lower your payments an average of $600 a month. so if you need money to take care of your family, use the valuable va home loan benefit you've earned with your service.
8:18 am
>> harris: the last 48 hours were horrific in the united states. 17 people killed and 13 separate shootings across the country. here is what it sounded like on south street in philadelphia. [gunshots] [shouting] >> harris: i'm just going to tell you i watched the begin of that and you see the stalking of two individuals going after the one guy that they ended up killing. we didn't show you all of that.
8:19 am
people watch this. it took them a while to take out their cell phones. crime is horrible but we cannot become anesthetizeed to what we're seeing. three people murdered. 12 injured in the popular entertainment district when several gunmen opened fire. other shootings included one in chattanooga, tennessee. police cleaning up a deadly scene there near a downtown bar early yesterday morning. alexis mcadams is live in new york city now. >> that's right. the video you are talking about that you just showed you can hear dozens of gunshots in philadelphia. a busy night out and there were lots of crowds that ended up in chaos with another mass shooting. police telling us multiple gunmen opened fire into the crowd. a philly police officer opened fire and tried to take down one of the shooters. three people on your screen were killed and several people
8:20 am
injured. three people murdered there 22-year-old, a 27-year-old and a 34-year-old. their families are grieving right now as investigators continue to search for the shooters. >> i'm definitely mourning for the family of christopher, alexis and gregory. we've been through some tragic stuff in my family. so trying to be there for the families. trying to figure out what is going to work for the city. >> this video shows chaos. people trying to take cover on south street. lots of bars and restaurants. it was busy on a nice night. it is just a scene of one of several deadly shootings across the country big and small cities. overall 69 people were shot and 17 killed over the weekend alone. this map you see shows 13 cities across the country where at least four people were shot
8:21 am
and one person was killed in a single incident. in chattanooga, tennessee, police are investigating their own mass shooting that left three people dead. more than a dozen people were shot outside of a bar in chattanooga. a few others were struck by cars fleeing the scene. no arrests made in either case but we heard a short time ago from the mayor of chattanooga saying he is confident and hopeful arrests will be coming soon. philadelphia police offering a $20,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in their shooting. harris. >> harris: all the rhetoric against cops you better be careful. look how much we need them. alexis, thank you. so why are gun rates and homicides so high in the united states compared to other countries? here is steve scalise. his personal story was getting hit at a baseball game. let's watch. here is "fox news sunday". >> you look at america. in the last couple of years you've seen this crazy defund the police movement but you have also seen a movement that
8:22 am
has been going on for a few years in big cities where the d.a.s aren't prosecuting criminals until it is a shooting or a violent crime and they are letting criminals back on the streets and inevitably what you see is higher rates of crime. what you are also seeing is more and more law abiding citizens buying guns to defend themselves. >> harris: we were just talking about the mass shootings in philadelphia. the district attorney is speaking right now. he has been quite colorful with his words. let's watch. >> obtain to make sure that she not only has an awareness in paper form of what the evidence is but the opportunity to walk through it and see it all in three dimensions. the locations of fired cartridge casings, holes in windows, locations where there is or was blood.
8:23 am
for that reason joann is not here today. she is doing very important work there. we are doing all of that because along with ppd we want to make sure that those responsible are held accountable. just as mr. barnes is being held accountable. our special investigations unit is also involved which is standard procedure whenever there is a police discharge and as many of you know there was police discharge in this incident. i want to thank the city's first responders, the philadelphia police department personnel and community residents who acted quickly to aid those who were wounded. i want to thank business owners and local residents who have come forward to assist our justice partners. come forward with video, come forward with information, come forward with a willingness to admit people to their premises so that evidence could be gathered without wasting time. i want to thank them for
8:24 am
encouraging others who witnessed this terrible shooting to come forward as well and provide their information. the d.a. owes victim support services decision, the cares unit, our crisis assistance response and engagement unit for survivors that works with the families of home side victims, community engagement unit and external service agencies will work kol ob ra actively to insure the families and survivors impacted are connected to supports and services. they'll need them. while we will continue to advocate for sensible and smart gun legislation and to do so in the strongest possible terms as we must in a country where there are more guns than people. we're still committed to working with our partners to help victims and working with the greater philadelphia community to heal from the trauma that is connected with
8:25 am
this awful shooting. i'm now going to give you a brief update of what is a very, very active investigation related to the south street shootings and once i have done that we'll move on and i will not be taking additional questions with reference to south street during this press conference. we may have more information for you later today. so we are expecting -- >> harris: they're going to give some local details there which are important if you live in that area, no doubt. what we wanted to hear was the question and answer. he is not taking any questions. let's move on. in "focus" seattle radio talk show host jason rantz. great to see you as always. business insider has done a report on this particular liberal d.a. i want to start with him asking for the public's help, which is a bit rich because since taking office he has been called a committed reformer, he slashed probation sentences, ended the
8:26 am
prosecution of sex workers and cannabis offenses and aggressively pursued cases against police officers accused of misconduct. used words like dirty cops in his rhetoric. his conviction integrity unit, jason, has exonerated two dozen people, his predecessors had convicted. it is a round door, go right through it and you can come back out on the other side, revolving. >> i think very clearly and i remember last year when we were talking about this with larry crassner saying there was no crime surge happening in philadelphia or across the country. what we were told at the time is covid was somehow to blame, not guns. now we're back to the guns talking point. what is clear to me is that when you have over and over again the cities experiencing the crime surge whether it's philadelphia, new york, seattle, portland. when you look at what everything has in common. not just the guns.
8:27 am
it's the policies that say we aren't going to actually punish criminals or keep them in jail. such a rise in violent crime coming from gang members, these are the younger people who are clearly violent who are not going to be reformed who are not being taken seriously as a threat they are. we put them into restorative justice programs, summer camp or music therapy that doesn't work and they don't take it seriously. we constantly see these policies putting the bad guys back on the streets and then we're shocked or he pretends to be shocked at the level of crime that's happening. why would you be shocked if you are a one responsible? we can tie it directly to you. >> harris: you know, one thing that law enforcement are telling me behind the scenes as they learn more about criminals in these big cities like philadelphia when they commit these crimes, once they are let out they reconnect so easily. this typically happens among the younger criminals. so now you have 10 and 13 and
8:28 am
15 people showing up. one of them had 13 shooters, known gunmen at one scene. >> yeah. it is really easy to reconnect because usually especially when we talk about gang violence, they look at this and this is how you develop your street credibility. you can go and commit the violent acts and seen as cool because you were able to do that and better for them because they know there won't be consequences. likely get a prosecutor or d.a. who will go easy on them because of their age, color of their skin, gender, whatever it happens to be. they know they will get off. so you are just going to see more and more and more of this. to be clear, had uvalde, texas not happened this conversation outside of fox news. these mass shootings would not be covered. what happens in chicago never gets covered. what happens in philadelphia never gets covered by the national media. we're having zero conversation.
8:29 am
zero meaningful conversation outside of fox news on gang violence, families being torn apart. it is pretty obvious that it is political. >> harris: we often say the names of victims rather than those who were perpetrating the crimes unless there is a manhunt. i can seek for this show in terms of that because i think it's really important to focus on the human beings who are suffering. i do want to get to this. i thought it was interesting. you brought up what happened in uvalde. i'll be quick about this. the bipartisan talk on the hill going on and senators on both sides of the political aisle don't want president biden weighing in or involved in any kind of gun bill negotiations. let's watch. >> i think the senate needs to do this ourselves. i have talked to the white house every single day since these negotiations began, but right now the senate needs to handle these negotiations. >> the president might have been a president who would reach across the aisle, try to
8:30 am
bring people together but he has chosen not to take that approach since day one. he has sided with the far left of his party and really not reached out to republicans. >> harris: when no one wants you at the table. it sounds like certain people in europe who don't take our calls. quickly jason, your response. >> he is so far to the left on this he knows he is out of touch with most americans and ignoring like he usually does the root causes. i'm glad there is a bipartisan group of lawmakers if there are ways we can insure that guns don't in the hands of people who vunt have it, let's do that. i push back a little bit at this notion that whenever there is a tragedy we need more laws. are the laws now being enforced and can you come up with another law that's not unconstitutional? >> harris: let's get to this. we want to focus on what can be done and whether or not liberal
8:31 am
d.a.s are willing to do those things to keep us safe. a horrific hit and run is now getting a lot of fresh attention. liberal los angeles district attorney george gascon, forced to walk back what he said earlier. he now says the l.a. county sheriff did not agree to lenient charges for a teenager who mowed down a mom and her baby last summer. the little one was in a stroller. the mom shielding the baby. the baby was okay. the video is shocking and disturbing. gascon's sentence put the teenager driving the car, by the grace of god is she alive still fighting for her little one. look at that. gascon's sentence for that teenage driver to go to camp for juvenile offenders for five to seven months. you see the car barreling have a different angle. the woman and her child knocked over. that stroller, everybody off their feet. the sheriff said he was never
8:32 am
consulted about this case. sheriffs investigators would never be okay with the sentencing in this case. stop empowering criminal behavior. hold them accountable. #victims matter. that mom meanwhile is going after the d.a., george gascon doesn't value my life or the life of my child. why are they prioritizing the lives of rotten monsters when my child is being told he doesn't matter. >> more people are waking up to the reality of what these policies are doing to them their community, friends and family members and sick of it. we look tomorrow at the recall election for chesa boudine in san francisco. same exact issue. over and over again the d.a.s are pretending the criminals are the victims. in this case, we learned that the kid, the teenager who was the driver, the monster, was already on probation.
8:33 am
so at what point do we step back and say i'm okay with giving second chances and even third chances in certain circumstances. when a kid steals from a store i won't throw the kid in jail. if you're already on probation and choosing to nearly murder someone, a mother and her kid, i feel like we should be throwing those people in jail and spending the resources to change people's lives before they get to that point. this kid is too far gone. he is not going to suddenly change his tune because we're throwing him in summer camp. we have to put people like that behind bars so they don't continue to terrorize communities. just gascon comes out with one of his statements to fox news digital saying the baby was fine in all of this. by the grace of god as you point out. also this mother is now going to suffer ptsd as a result of this. every time she is walking with her kid down a street and a car comes by imagine how she will
8:34 am
feel. this is completely random for her. what about the victims? we continuously ignore the victims in this country. it seems to me that we need to be fighting for them, not for their would be murderers. >> harris: a lot of good questions that you asked. how can the grace for one mom and her baby become advantageous for a would be killer. the issue of children and woke gender pushes into the national spotlight. some people are outraged over a pride month event at a texas gay bar this weekend and the event was called drag the kids to pride. it invited parents to bring their children along for a morning drag show featured children dancing amongst men dressed in drag beneath a pink neon said saying it's not gonna lick itself. pizza hut promoted a book for
8:35 am
children which celebrates drag kids. i kind of know where you are going. it is called age appropriateness. >> this is very clearly not age appropriate unless your goal is to push kids into actually participating in drag or confusing these kids with their own gender identity which when you are very young you are easy to mold into a certain worldview. that includes going into a young school or bringing them into a bar for a drag hour with the intent of trying to change their worldview on these issues so when they grow up they feel more comfortable not identifying as the gender that they very clearly are regardless of how they are feeling inside. >> harris: is that the goal? >> i think that's part of the goal. look, at the end of the day. >> harris: how do you have that conversation with a 3-year-old? a pre-k? >> it's really easy because
8:36 am
they're listening to you, right? at some point you and i we aren't going to change our views on a host of things for the most part. we have a certain set of principles and values because of our lived experiences. >> harris: i'm old. >> you are what, 35? i'm older. i'm not going to change my view because it's based on reality. when you are young and being told these things over and over and over again and no one is providing a different alternative view, you are going to take this as fact. they are going to take it as fact that there are more people than not who identify this way. >> harris: pizza hut needs to make its pizza delicious. when companies weigh in this way or the other about the issues particularly for really young ones it never works out for them, the corporations. jason rantz, always great to have you. thank you very much. >> thanks.
8:37 am
>> harris: abbott labs is producing baby formula at its michigan plant over the weekend. it was shut down in february helping to contribute to the nationwide shortage. abbott says it will need weeks, more than two, before the products are back on the shelves and many are going after the biden administration's handling of the crisis. last week the president said he didn't even know about the crisis until april. commerce secretary said the same thing. >> when did you first learn of this problem? >> i first learned about it, you know, a couple of months ago. >> so april? >> it's a difficult issue. >> yes, probably april. imnot involved in the administration's response but i think they're doing a very good job. >> harris: senator marsha blackburn sits on the judiciary and senate armed services committee. great to have you in focus.
8:38 am
you have brought us rich detail on this particular topic and others. i want to lean in hard, though, why does she sound like the president? will this be the playbook, i didn't know? >> yeah. you know, harris, they want to be the heroes in this but their response should earn them an f grade. they knew about this, they knew in february we were down 25% as far as the formula outages across the country were trending. they shut down this abbott facility with no plan to bring it back up. so of course they knew it was going to get worse if they were thinking this through long term and looking for an exit straj gee. obviously they were not. it was just shut it down. blame abbott and leave it there. now at this point right now we
8:39 am
are at a 74% outage rate across the country. you have states like tennessee still about 90. you have georgia 94% outage. people cannot get necessary life-giving formula for their babies. they can't get it. and the administration says pat us on the back. we have a plan now. we'll import this. but no, they should be held to account for this. they knew this was a problem and they had no plan to mitigate it. and harris, that formula that is sitting in the warehouses at the border, we know that those coming with children are going to need some but we also know formula has an expiration date. san antonio, houston, cities along south texas that are at the top of the list of shortages, they should open this and allow these parents to
8:40 am
come get some of this formula to help save those children. >> harris: you are so right about that. i learned from you, senator blackburn, that once those expiration dates hit it is a pure garbage situation. they could be saving lives right now and not have to throw it out. let's move. what you said was they knew about this so they are either lying or completely incompetent. i don't know what's worse. a new "washington examiner" op-ed asks the question who is in charge of biden's baby formula response? is the head of the fda or the hhs, the department of agriculture in charge? nobody knows. not that the white house press corps hasn't been asking. reporters have been getting frustrated. check this woman out last week with nbc. essentially telling press secretary how to do her job. watch together. >> to say there was no specific person is not an answer when you have senior assistants to
8:41 am
the president, there is a paper trail i'm sure about briefing the president. domestic policy council, a chief of staff. at some point we need to know who would have been the most likely person to talk to. you can't evade this. >> harris: oh to the president. senator. >> yes, and you have to say who is trying to solve this? who was responsible? who was the team leader for overseeing the abbott facility? who was the team leader of that project? who did they give their information to? who said shut it down and then had no plan for mitigating the issue and getting the plant reopened knowing that the plant manufactured over 40% of all the baby formula sold in this country? so here is part of it. no one is in charge or either you have such a small group that is in charge that they
8:42 am
said oh well, let's just push that to the side and it never made it to the top of the heap. they are too busy opening the border. there is crime in the streets. inflation. the price at the pump. the issues are out of control and you have to wonder why are they doing this and why are they making decisions that complicate the lives of the american people every single day? >> harris: why, why, why? again incompetence or something else. all of it doesn't look good. you mentioned the border. let's get there. now we're staring down another caravan that is yet to leave but it is waiting. they'll leave mexico for the united states border later today. the organizer says it's 10,000 people. massing over the border and that could swell to 15,000 by later today when they get ready to cross over.
8:43 am
this is in south mexico. biden still hasn't visited the border. this is a year since kamala harris was there. she didn't go to the really bad part. she went to a different part but she went near it. hasn't been there in a year. how can you fix what you don't see? >> they're trying to pretend it is not a problem. this is their border policy. open the southern border. the cartels are in charge. last year there were people from 160 different countries. we know there are people from russia and ukraine who are in the group waiting to come across the border now. so harris, what this administration is doing is subjecting people to sex slavery, to human trafficking, to drug trafficking. there are people dying and people having their lives
8:44 am
ruined. these children thought they were going to come and have a better life. but what they are doing, they've got an i.d. brace let on them from the cartel. they will be sure they pay off their debt and monitor them and follow them. that is modern day slavery and it has to stop. >> harris: when they don't pay up we won't talk about what happens that. these children are considered to be disposable in the worst fashion by the cartels. what you said about the i.d. bracelets. i don't know how the government can watch that and not want to do something. i don't know how human beings in the white house can do that. always great to have you in "focus." thank you very much. >> good to see you. thank you. >> harris: we are getting early hints at the possible showdown now for the 2024 republican
8:45 am
