for 2.4 million. the only one privately owned. others are housed at the smithsonian. that's a good artifact and a good halloween costume if it fits. >> dana: that's a great show. thank you for being with us on "america's newsroom." martha maccallum is hosting "the faulkner focus". she is next. >> hi. fox newspaper alert for everybody here as the crisis at the southern border is just continuing to get worse and more deadly. it has gone far, far beyond the record number of migrants that have entered the country illegally. this is "the faulkner focus" and good morning, everybody. i'm martha maccallum in today for harris, the reality at the border and beyond, drugs, deaths, and debt. ted cruz shared this gruesome

video involving the narco slave trade. >> these children come in in debt to vicious cartels thousands and thousands of dollars. and the teenage boys work for the gangs in every city in america. and the teenage girls experience a hell worse than that. with far too many of them human trafficked into sex slavery. joe biden and kamala harris are responsible for the worst flag of slavery in america since the civil war. >> washington examner editorial board saying this, biden's border of death. the outlet reports that agents have found more than 600 dead migrants along that border so far this fiscal year. more in just the last nine months than ever recorded in the span of an entire year.

the numbers really do tell the story of just how dangerous it is at that border. back in 2020 when president trump's remain in mexico policy was in full effect, that number was around 250. it doesn't end there. drugs continue to pour across the border in staggering amounts. over the weekend agents made two massive busts in arizona. they intercepted shipments of fentanyl, heroin and meth. fentanyl deaths are plaguing this country especially among young people. sebastian kidd died of an accidental fentanyl poisoning when he was just 17 years old about a year ago today. his family, i spoke with them yesterday, like too many others, are pleading for action. >> i'm a little bit frustrated at how long it is taking to

take action. the groups i'm part of are 1,000 strong, there is more being added every single day. it is disgusting how many people are dying and we need to do something. >> casey stiegel live in dallas with more on this very pressing story for this country. hi, casey. >> good to see you. the first stop for many families like the one you just saw who lost a loved one to fentanyl is a coroner's office. medical examiners see the pain on the front lines to perhaps the fullest extent of this crisis and they all agree it is only getting worse. this is all jennifer has left of her son, pictures and memories. >> he loved life. when he was younger he would talk to you with stars in his eyes. he was so full of life. very happy. a happy boy. >> jacob died in 2020 after

taking a fake percocet laced with fentanyl. >> i never thought that my son would die from drugs. >> as shocking as it was to his family, it is something coroners see every single day. >> prior to 2021 where it was rare for me to see a fentanyl death in this office, and now i would say at least half of my drug overdoses have fentanyl. >> fentanyl is not just a deadly problem in texas. it is everywhere. and its victims can be anyone. >> these overdoses are impacting all ages from young to our young teenagers up into our 80s in all demographic. it isn't one community that is hurting. we are seeing these problems. it is all of them. >> across the country fentanyl claimed more than 70,000 lives in 2021, the highest on record. >> a number of years ago when we would have a death and have

a bottle of xanax on scene it was actually xanax. now it can say xanax or have the coding but they can be fake. they are actually fentanyl. >> d.e.a. pictures show a legitimate pill next to a counterfeit one. nearly identical in appearance but one could be fatal. >> one of those pills could be the end of it. it could just end everything now. they are paying with their life. >> this really is an ongoing fight, the experts tell us with each day bringing a new headline like in arizona you mentioned at the top of the hour, where this past weekend one bust yielded 320,000 fentanyl pills among other really hard core drugs. that same day an additional 32 pounds of fentanyl powder and 150,000 additional fentanyl pills were seized. same sector, all in just 24

hours. back to you. >> a lot of money for those cartels and for the chinese manufacturers. that is where this is coming from. thank you very much, casey, always good to see you. really crisis after crisis is taking a toll on the president's popularity. the latest numbers from new hampshire put transportation secretary pete buttigieg as democrats' first choice for 2024. the poll also showing that biden's net favorability has taken an enormous nose-dive at an all-time low since the minus 37, the plus 1 was in june of last year. so you can see how those numbers have shifted. democratic lawmakers not helping matters. congresswoman cori bush refusing to say this week -- asked a simple question would you support the democrat sitting president for a second term. all tongue twisted over that one. senate majority leader chuck

shierm -- schumer yesterday. >> do you believe president biden should run for a second term. >> if he runs, i'll support him. >> power panel here. kevin, let me start with you. these folks need to come up with a better answer. it looks pathetic. not a smile on chuck schumer's face. it seems like an easy one. >> i was a surrogate for the president during the last campaign and supported him for reelection come 800 days plus from now if he runs for reelection to the presidency. this is a self-fulfilling prophesy. democrats need to rally around this president. i think you are seeing the numbers dip down for this president and seeing the numbers dip down with democrats in support of this president.

mercedes know when trump stumbled republicans rallied to his cause and his numbers kept up well over time despite scandals and things like that. the first hit of any issues democrats abandon the real leader. we need to -- >> democrats the end to stick together. it is particularly notable that they are clearly turning on this president. i don't know any other way to put it. all of the friendly media to this president and everybody up to the senate majority leader started going well, yeah, if he runs of course i would support him. >> democrats do a better job of unifying when it comes to passing legislation or supporting the candidate, they are usually on the same page. and what is happening now is the republicans are stepping back and saying wait a second. we are the party where you have

the enthusiastic voerts and the party that's being effective in reaching out to swing voters like independents as well as hispanics. i think, kevin, you might be calling for the dailies of president obama where it was -- days of president obama where he was able to rally the democrat voters. i don't think you are seeing that now. at least talking to friends of mine who are democrats they're very concerned about joe biden dragging down these democrat candidates in the mid-term election and they are even more concerned of what will happen with 2024. >> kevin, pete buttigieg out pacing the president and vice president. quick thought on that for new hampshire? >> it will make for awkward cabinet meetings going forward. pete did very well in new hampshire. a close second and president didn't fare as well. that has been a tough state for president biden in the past. >> the democrat party primary playbook pouring money into the

campaigns of trump-backed republicans because they hope that person will be easier to knock down in the general election. this is a risky strategy. one of the latest examples is in michigan where the party campaign committee is running ads like this backing the far-right trump supported candidate over the current moderate republican. watch this. >> gibbs has promised to push that same conservative agenda in congress. hard line against immigrants at the border, so-called patriotic education in our schools. the gibbs trump agenda is too conservative for west michigan. dccc is responsible for the content of this advertising. >> here is what axios is saying this morning about this strategy where you back the person that you want your candidate to run against and run ads for that person who is a trump supporter. axios reports the january 6

committee is not sure if they should -- one dem member of congress saying it undercuts the great work of the january 6 committee and makes us look like hypocrites in his opinion. what do you think about this strategy, kevin? >> i'm a democrat just like mercedes is a republican. we have countless examples over the last cycles of this meddling on both sides to rough up and get a candidate we can beat in the general election. i am so much more interested in maintaining democratic support in the house and senate making sure the gafsh else stay with speaker pelosi and schumer as opposed to this one particular michigan district. if republicans take over in november you will have a majority of those members in the party in control that did not support certification of the election. we have one election denier running in michigan. i want to beat him come november if he is the nominee and make sure we keep republicans out of control with

that mentality. >> democrats fought that in governor's race who is running in that race. do you think he can win now? the polls are tightening in the governor race there. originally he thought it would be a candidate tricky for republicans. >> if i were democrats i would spend more money and invest more money in these sort of center moderate democrats as opposed to really supporting progressive democrat candidates that i think hurt the democrat party. if you are saying it's too conservative to crack down on immigration, too conservative to stand up for education you are missing the point. the american people stand by making sure that we have safe borders, they stand by legal immigration and they stand by making sure we don't have an indoctrination from the left. when you look at pennsylvania, that is tricky, a purple state that can go either way. i have to tell you, it goes back to the enthusiasm and

voters say the left has gone too far. when you look at the senate candidate in pennsylvania john fetterman he is saying he is not for fracking. that won't sell well in a place like pennsylvania. the democrats have an uphill battle moving into the mid-terms. >> we will track where the ads have played on election night for the mid-terms to see how it all turned out in the end. this one i want to get in with both of you before we lose you here. so much woke with the issues of gender and pregnancy. refusing to answer if men can get pregnant or define the word woman. these would never have been tricky questions in the past, folks. this echoes a recent clash between senator josh hawley and a berkeley professor pressed her over her repeated use people with the capacity for pregnancy earlier the month. critics having a field day the

way vice president harris introduced herself on the roe decision round table. >> i am kamala harris, my pronouns are she and her, i'm a woman sitting at the table wear a blue suit. >> jeff duncan said i don't care what your pronouns are or what your suit is, what are you doing to address the southern border? has this gone too far. they are being courteous and respecting people with disabilities and other issues or other preferences but i think most americans look at that and say i'm sorry, what? >> martha, most americans think it is a distraction going down this. as you rightly point out, an event marking the historic americans with disability act visually impaired individual that only see colors and shapes and being proactive in using that terminology to be effective in that room with those individuals. i think mercy needs to talk to her friends over at the

republican rnc and get them in line when it comes to attacking americans with disability over something like this. >> i don't think it is an attack of americans with disabilities and, you know, we do understand the circumstances and other people introduced themselves that way in that room. but i just think it smacks of sort of not focusing on where people's priorities necessarily are and it is not the way most people probably address each other around the country and make them look a little out of touch with where people are. >> when our military is focused on teaching more about pronouns and misgendering than focusing on military readiness we have a problem in the country. it is a distraction that with the idea of pro nouns, that we have to identify ourselves with who we are. we should be all americans coming together for the greatness of this country. end of story. for the record, kevin, i don't think you can get pregnant.

let's be real. the democrats have to stop this insanity with trying to redefine women. they can't even define what a recession is and can't define what a woman is. kevin, get your party. save it or i don't know what we'll do. >> my party is just fine. we have 104 days. >> good to see you both. great to see you. fox news alert president biden about to speak within the hour in the rose garden because he has just been sprung from his five-day covid isolation. the doctor reporting a short time ago he is fever free and symptoms resolved and tested negative last night and this morning but plans to increase his testing cadence moving forward according to the doctor. we'll bring you the remarks when they happen. he will be happy to be back outside. we'll look at the president after his covid diagnosis under a week ago. looks like hunter biden's scandals may have blown wide

>> martha: senators demanding the department of justice launch an investigation after whistleblowers came forward and claimed that the f.b.i. is intentionally burying the dirt

and evidence on hunter biden. senators calling out one agent in particular that agent is also reportedly linked to special counsel john durham's continuing probe into the trump/russia probe. ranking member chuck grassley says this only hurts the d.o.j.'s integrity. >> i believe that there were people in the f.b.i. who had partisan views that should never be involved in any investigation. this is hurting the credibility of the f.b.i. people ought to have ultimate confidence in the f.b.i. >> martha: jacqui heinrich joins us on the background of the story. >> good morning, martha. the f.b.i. and d.o.j. have been accused by what senator chuck grassley calls highly credible whistleblowers of burying, quote, verified and verifiable

dirt on president biden's son hunter but discrediting that intelligence as disinformation. ron johnson demanding the d.o.j. open and internal investigation or appoint a special counsel that the f.b.i. was weaponized against people on the senate. whistleblowers said there is wielding political influence on cases they didn't want to investigate. >> talking about being investigated. it is the credibility of the f.b.i. they have got to investigate regardless of party or power of individuals. and the credibility of the f.b.i. is at stake here. >> senators johnson and grassley recounted events between july and october of 2020 where the f.b.i. gave republicans investigating hunter the runaround alleging the gop was advancing foreign disinformation for the senate

investigation into hunter biden. the f.b.i.'s integrity is being called into question. they received grassley's letter demanding an internal probe but did not provide more comment. >> there was a real investigation these individuals told the news media probably off the record and not for attribution that either it was disinformation or that there wasn't an investigation. that affects the reporting when reporters are told what is not true. so i just think chuck grassley is on to something big here. >> the news comes after a source told fox last week the federal investigation into hunter's taxes has reached a critical stage and officials are looking into whether or not to charge hunter with various violations including possible foreign lobbying violations. >> martha: thank you very much. senator ron johnson of wisconsin always good to have you with us. thank you for joining us today. what is your sense of what this

new information is from these whistleblowers about what has been going on at the f.b.i. with regard to hunter biden's case? >> good morning, martha. to me it may confirm what i have always suspected, that there were political operators within the f.b.i. that were influencing the investigation and also potentially obstructing our investigation. senator grassley and i were both given briefings in august of 2020. we didn't have for them. i knew that they were a setup at the time. i suspected it. those were leaked later to the "washington post" to marginalize our investigation and smear me in particular. we now know that 51 former intelligence officials basically used the same line that the hunter biden laptop was -- had all the earmarks of a russian disinformation

operation. that letter itself was an operation. was it all hatched within the f.b.i.? i read a news report today saying there were people in the department of justice saying the u.s. attorney's office in delaware is not capable of doing an adequate investigation into hunter biden. that's the u.s. attorney charged with this. we can't get answers whether the head of the criminal division partners with hunter biden's defense attorney, whether he has been recused from this case. we've gotten no information going back to that briefing we got two years ago. we've been asking for who set that up and what was the intelligence that backed up what we were told. we haven't gotten anything in two years. they will not tell us who prompted that briefing, who directed it. again, i think it was scandalous and may confirm all my suspicions. >> martha: the "wall street journal" opinion piece headline today hunter and joe biden need trump, the press won't keep lying about hunter's laptop if

trump isn't on the ballot. i want to ask you about the politics of this. i can't help but think if you have the former president trump's name in there, you have to ask yourself in this situation if this were one of his children, right, and there was a laptop that now we've all seen the images on that laptop and never heard a denial from the biden side that it is not his, never. we've never heard that. doing drugs, using -- having a gun in those images as well and then the emails that say that part of these deals with china and in eastern europe were 10% for the big guy, right? can you imagine if you put that on the other burner and this was all a trump story? the f.b.i. -- it is hard not to believe -- would be all over it and so would investigators at the d.o.j., f.b.i. up and down that chain. >> they had a two to three investigations over completely false narrative that the trump campaign colluded with russia.

absolutely they would be doing them. give a shout-out to the whistleblowers, god bless them. we need a whole lot more. it is not shocking to me but it is outrageous. >> martha: the justice department has to do their job. where there is smoke there could be fire. an investigation is obviously necessary. and then on this front you have the justice department now reportedly investigating the former president as part of a criminal probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. attorney general merrick garland did not rule out potentially prosecuting the former president for the january 6 riot. we heard from jonathan turley on this a short while ago. what are your thoughts. listen to this and we'll get your thoughts on the other side. >> we have to remember the f.b.i. had hunter's computer back in december of 2019 and didn't do anything with it. when we were offered that we went to the f.b.i. do you know something about this? stolen goods?

they told us nothing. we have a two-tier system of justice, one for powerful democrats, their family and friends and one for the rest of americans playing out with the january 6ers. we don't really prosecute the summer rioters, an unequal application of justice and unsustainable state of affairs when the american public can't trust the f.b.i. and federal law enforcement and department of justice. that's the sad state of affairs right now. >> martha: do you think the department of justice will investigate and potentially bring any criminal charges against president trump? >> i don't have any doubt they are investigating him. it is interesting the january 6th committee i read this report. bennie thompson who is chairing that voted to disallow elect tors from ohio in 2005. now he is in charge of this insurrection, all based on the fact that there were alternate

slates of electors. the hypocrisy of the democrats is jaw dropping. >> martha: we'll be following it. thank you very much, senator, good to see you. the senate is set to vote today on a massive bill that would boost subsidies to u.s. chip manufacturers to keep them competitive with china. look deeply into this, folks. critics say it is corporate welfare as americans are struggling. we'll tell you what you need to know on this one. >> inflation, which is a direct result of the president's policies, is a cancer on the american dream. >> martha: prielss -- prices are still on the rise and one white house official had a bizarre statement. what is a recession? david asman joins us on all of

united states is better positioned. >> martha: former trump economic advisor ripping the biden white house for taking a victory lap on unemployment. it will be a sharp reduction in productivity that we haven't seen in a long time. they are premature calling victory on job growth. fox business anchor david asman joins me now. good to have you with us. i always -- i've said this to brian doo*ets as well. the comparisons to other countries is not necessarily something that gives americans comfort. of course we don't want anyone else to suffer but we don't necessarily -- we hold ourselves to a much higher standard of what we expect from the leadership. >> the idea we're doing fine because we're better off than third world countries having a famine is going to do anything to pacify the anger of most americans that the prices that they face when they go to buy

milk or fill up their car or buy a durable item. it is a ridiculous comparison and shows you the level to which they've gone in order to kind of justify what they are doing. there really is no justification for it. what they are doing is not working. it is not stopping inflation and it is not picking up the economy, which fell 1.6% in the first quarter and it looks and we'll find out tomorrow whether it fell another 1% or more in the second quarter. a lot of people say back-to-back quarterly drops in the economy means we're in a recession. americans certainly feel like it. they don't care what the definition is. they just want things to get better and things are not getting better. >> martha: over at msnbc, there needs to be a reframing of how people look at what's going on out there and here is what she thinks about it. watch. >> gas prices are definitely going down. you aren't hearing that many people complimenting it or

thrilled or talkingty kitchen table about gas prices going down. you have the challenge of getting the american people positive about the economy. it is very psychological. how we feel about the economy impacts how we behave. how do you change the way people think? because we are in an economic recovery. >> oh, boy. an economy that is contracting, an economy that is shrinking and going down is not in a recovery by definition. a recovery means you are improving. when biden came into office in january of 2021, our economy was growing about 6% or even a little bit more than that with low inflation. right now it is contracting and going down at least in the first quarter, possibly in the second quarter, and we have high inflation. so to call this a recovering economy is nonsense. i know she is not an economist and you don't have to be an economist in order to

understand that. negative is different from positive. >> martha: in the sound bite from people in virginia. people have a good sense of what's going on. they understand. yes gas prices have come down a little bit but still double from where they were a year ago. in order to show an improving economy you have to have several months of improvement that indicate that you have hit that bottom and you are actually starting to move higher. i want to get your thoughts on this other story as well, david. the senate set to vote soon on this massive $280 billion bill aimed to help the semi conductor industry and to make more chips manufactured here, to make them more competitive against china. some senators are saying it could actually help china's government and their own chip production. watch this. >> intel made $20 billion. we will give them $4 billion to give them a plant but we don't have to say what type of chips we want and give tax breaks and three a tax credit.

do they have to stop doing business in china? reduce their business in china? no, they continue to expand in china. a reason why we have inflation and debt and deficits is because of this reckless spending. >> martha: i think everybody wants the united states to be independent in our producing of the things that we need, david. but you do have to go beneath the headline and understand what the impact would be. are they picking favorites in this situation? >> of course they are. industrial policy is all about. you don't want to put bureaucrats in charge of economic decisions, business economic decisions or any economic decision. particularly in business. if you like the auto bail-outs you are fine. if you thought it was a problem using your taxpayer dollars to bail out companies that are supposed to make it on their own, there is a problem. you know, you look at all the mistakes the government makes when it is in charge of industrial policy and realize how terrible it is and it is

inflationary. ist will drive inflation higher. i know there are a number of republicans in favor of including it, mike pompeo because he says we have to defend ourselves from chinese chip manufacturers. an argument to be made how to do that. but to have industrial policy takeover. it is also being shoe horned into this bill is a lot of other stuff that senator schumer and other democrats are trying to do. >> martha: we're seeing the president post covid. he tested negative twice and let's listen in. >> president biden: thanks for sticking around. hello, everyone. i have just tested negative for covid-19 after isolating for five days. [cheering and applause] i'm not going to be able to return to work in person but i want to thank you for your well

wishes and prayers over this past week and the calls i've gotten and also want to thank the medical team at the white house for the incredible care they gave me. fortunately, god thankfully god willing my symptoms were mild. i recovered quick and i'm feeling great. the entire time i was in isolation i was able to work, to carry out the duties of the office and without any interruption. it is a real statement on where we are in the fight against covid-19. right now we are facing a new variant, the ba5 variant, a very transmissible version we saw here this past winter. in fact, this new variant that infected me is getting a lot of people infected around the world, not just here in the united states. we should take precautions the try to slow the spread of this virus. my administration made billions

of dollars in funding available to improve ventilation in our schools and our public buildings. we've made tests widely available so you can take one before attending a large indoor gathering or visiting with high-risk individuals. we made high-quality masks available for free so you should consider wearing a mask when you are in a crowded indoor public place. these precautions add an extra layer of protection for you and those around you. the reality is that ba5 means many of us are still going to get covid even if we take the precautions. that doesn't mean we are doing anything wrong. unfortunately this covid is still with us as it has been for 2 1/2 years. our fight against covid is making a huge difference. what's different now is our ability to protect ourselves from serious illness due to covid. in fact, that's radically

different today than it was just a year ago. covid isn't gone but even with cases climbing in this country, covid deaths are down nearly 90%. and when i took office, that's 90% difference between today and when i took office. that's what is new. that's what's new in covid response. different from where we were just a year ago. even if covid -- even if you get covid you can avoid winding up with a severe case and prevent most covid deaths and that's because tools biden administration invested in, booster shots, at-home tests, easy to use effective treatments. we have through covid with no fear. i got through with no fear. a very mild discomfort because of these essentials, lifesaving tools. and guess what? i want to remind everybody they're free. they are convenient, and they

are safe and they work. first booster shots. they weren't available a year ago. they are now everywhere. every person age 5 and over should get a booster shot. if you are over 50 years old you should get two booster shots. i did. if you have your boosters one if you are under 50, two if over 50, the odds of getting severely ill from covid are very, very low. even older americans are very unlikely to get severe covid if they have two booster shots. most covid deaths are among those not up to date on the shots, covid vaccinations. so if you are over 50 and you haven't gotten a booster shot this year, go get one right away. go to covid.gov type in your zip code and find a place where you can get a booster shot for free. usually at a site that's less

than five miles from your home. second, at-home tests. a year ago they were rare and expensive. now everyone in america can get them for free shipped to their door, shipped to their door. there is no excuse. again, go to covid.gov and order at-home tests for free. testing to find out if your symptoms mean you have covid is critical in getting treatment quickly. third, treatments. if you test positive, you have a new -- we have a new powerful treatment called packs -- paxlovid. you can take the pills at home and get them for free at tens of thousands of local drugstores around the country. the food and drug administration and fda put in a special rule so many pharmacists can prescribe this particular drug.

so you don't even have to go to the doctor to get a prescription. millions of americans have used paxlovid. i tell you what, i think it's -- i used it. paxlovid including me. it reduces risk of hospitalization and death from covid-19 by about 90%. again, it is free, safe and easy to take. and we move quickly into making it widely available including the thousands of convenient tests to treat sites where you can get tested and if you need it paxlovid is at the ready right then and there when you make your visit. again, go to covid.gov to find where tests and treat sites are near you. here is the bottom line. when my predecessor got covid he had to go to walter reed

medical sefnlts he was very ill. thankfully he recovered. when i got covid i worked from the white house in the offices upstairs for that five-day period. the difference is vaccinations, of course, but also three new tools free to all and widely available. you don't need to be president to get these tools to use for your defense. in fact, the same booster shots, the same at-home tests, the same treatment that i got is available to you. my administration made sure that all americans across the country from all walks of life have free access to those tools. covid was killing thousands of americans a day when i got here. that isn't the case anymore. you can live without fear by doing what i did, get boosted, get tested and get treatment. we remain vigilant. now we have the pills to keep you from getting severely ill or dying from covid.

but we aren't stopping there. earlier this week we had a conference at the white house for about the next generation of vaccines with the goal of keeping people from getting sick in the first place. getting covid at all, even getting it. let me close with this. over the past 18 months, my administration has left no stone unturned in our fight against this pandemic, none. we brought down deaths by nearly 90% since i took office with the help of all the people in this rose garden. businesses and schools responded. grand parents are hugging their grandkids again. weddings, birthdays, celebrations are happening in person again. let's keep emerging from one of the darkest moments in our history with hope and light for what can come. get vaccinated if you haven't already. and now get boosted. order your free tests and if you get sick and test positive, seek treatment.

take advantage of these lifesaving tools. we have more of these tools than we ever had before. to my friends in congress, let's keep investing in these tools, vaccinations, treatments, tests and more so we can help make them available to americans, the american people on a permanent basis. let's get moving. when i say permanent basis, as long as they are needed. let's keep moving forward safely. god bless you all, and now i get to go back to the oval office. thank you all very much. [cheering and applause] >> martha: you can hear the shouted questions from reporters there as the president quickly leaves the microphone and heads back. interesting moment there he came out and said i'm feeling great. i worked the entire time. he said that he had tested negative. the doctor has said he tested negative last night and also again this morning. but obviously when this story broke there was so much concern

because of the president's age and it seemed at the top of those comments he was sort of trying to make it clear, get the point across that i'm doing great, i recovered fine and was able to work the entire time, he said, while i had covid. so a little bit of sort of characterizing his own health and ability to carry on in spite of that infection. the other thing to note here is that we remember last fourth of july, a year ago fourth of july the president declared that this was over, the pandemic was over and time to have a good fourth of july with your family and we were moving on. different message today. many of us will still get covid. it doesn't mean we're doing anything wrong and talked about the treatments, paxlovid. sometimes the drug names are hard to pronounce. he had two boosters, everyone

over the age of 50 to get another booster. he had the two initial vaccines, two boosters, did get covid. he have feels the reason it was mild was the combination of the treatment and the fact that he had two boosters. he said we need to live without fear. so the president back at work in the oval office this morning just before noon eastern time. we're told he will be wearing a mask in a crowded area inside over maybe the course of the next 10 days. that is the message this morning from president biden at the white house. in the meantime, this for you today. the family of jonbenet ramsey keeping the investigation active. >> we want to do whatever can be done technically and resource-wise to find the killer of our daughter.

if we do that and we can, then we'll have to live with it but to not do it is criminal and just negligent and lazy. >> martha: now a dna expert says she has access to cutting edge technology that could help solve this case quickly. >> if the dna found on jonbenet is viable how long could it take to catch her killer? >> it might only be a matter of hours before the dna contributor is identified. we have to put all the puzzle pieces back together little by little by little. what i'm doing all day long is building the family trees of these individuals that are sharing dna with this unknown suspect. >> martha: her half brother is also asking colorado governor for help and asking him for access to case information from the boulder police department. nancy grace host of fox

nation's crime stories joins me now. good to have you with us. this is a story that has been around for decades obviously. what do you think about this notion of new dna technology that could help the find the killer? >> well, according to boulder p.d. they have tested over 1,000 articles, items seized from the scene but i agree with jonbenet's father, john ramsey. if there is any chance that there are items -- i believe that there are -- that have not been tested or items that can be retested with cutting edge technology, why not? you know this about asking the governor for help? he says he is looking into it. when you hear politicians say i am forming a committee. it means nothing is going to happen. that was back in may when he said i'm looking into it. i believe at this juncture jonbenet's father needs to go

to the federal system to ask for relief. i don't understand why they aren't testing. maybe it will amount to nothing but maybe it would amount to something. >> martha: what makes you think that there is dna out there that hasn't been tested? i understand the aspect of new technology which is really important. are there specific items that you think need to be tested? >> i think that there are specific items that could be tested that at the time of the murder no one believed it would amount to anything. i think, for instance, the ransom note needs to be tested. the underwear needs to be tested and compared to forensic family tree as in the golden state killer case. there has been a lot of new technology, dna-wise since these items were tested. again, maybe nothing will come of it but hand it over. another issue, this has all been tested in a state crime

lab. there are other labs that have more cutting edge technology that could be utilized. i don't see why we're not doing that. and i spoke to a dna expert regarding c.c. moore's claim that if you got the dna comparison you could get an answer within a couple of hours. that may or may not be accurate. to do that you have to have a known person to compare it to. this may be a matter of going all the way up 100 years and back down the family tree to find a perp if we get dna. under all the right circumstances she may be right. >> martha: would everybody love to hear how that one comes out after all these years. 30 seconds here. you have a fox nation special on chicago's crime crisis with our political analyst gianno

>> what if anything do you see being done about it? >> nothing. the policies in which they have created, you talk crime, distrt attorneys, county prosecutors, and these are progressive policies. this is in the boat left, right, democrats, republicans, this is about humanity. >> a quick thought on that as we say goodbye here. speak we've got the governor and the mayor doing nothing. they're like to what cats and a barrel sing was going to climb up first. there doing nothing to stop crime in chicago. it's us tsunami wave. nothing is being done. not fred juliano or other people that don't have a platform lik e he does. >> it's a travesty, it really is. we look forward to seeing your special and we spend down mike send our bes to your family. it's a terrible tragedy. nancy grace always great to see

you. thank you so much. and thank you for watching "outnumbered" is warming up to get ready next. i'll see you back here at 3:00 eastern time for the story this afternoon. ♪ ♪ speak of this is "outnumbered." hello, everyone, i'm emily compagno. joining me today, kennedy, jackie kendall's, kat timpf, and sean duffy. we begin with a shocking apology just a short time ago from the ladies of the view. the turning point usa. a war of words broke out after the conservative group was railing the next generation of voters of a youth summit this weekend. at the liberal panel could not help themselves. the group sent a scathing cease and desist letter suggesting that turning point had e
