new york. the welfare state is the problem. not immigrants. we need to take a look at that and talk about it as such. >> dana: we have to watch you on gutfeld. check her out on instagram. a little imitation for the speaker of the house. great to be with you. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with this fox news alert. unprecedented, the feds storming the private home of former president donald trump. the backlash is fierce with deafening claims of a double standard and political motives by the united states justice department. are we watching the highest law enforcement agencies in our nation target people they simply don't like or agree with? i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the f.b.i. executed that search warrant on donald trump's florida estate yesterday.

agents cracked open saves and took boxes of documents from the former president's current primary residence. here is what trump said in a statement. prosecutorial misconduct. the weaponization of the justice system and attack by radical left democrats who doont want me to run for president in 2024. many echo that sentiment today. >> what you have right now is an unchecked democrat party. most americans right now are horrified. they are doing it because the establishment is terrified of president donald trump. he doesn't play their games. >> 30 f.b.i. agents can take over the house of a former president of the united states, what can they do to you? >> if those organizations that are remaining in their current form there needs to be a top-down clean out of all the upper brass and all the upper management in all those organizations starting with merrick garland and the f.b.i.

director. >> harris: let's think about the political things that are coming here. the raids 91 days out from the mid-term election. mccarthy tweeted this. when republicans take back the house, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department and leave no stone unturned. chief legal correspondent shannon bream joins me now. great to see you, shannon. let's start with how this can happen. what form of documents did they need? how did this come about? >> harris, great to see you this morning. it comes through the f.b.i. and speculation how it went through d.o.j. most people think to get together to go for a warrant the attorney general himself probably would have known. it would have been unusual that he wouldn't have been tipped off to this whole situation. they went through a federal magistrate judge. it is a federal judge position but not an appointed, confirmed

position like most federal judges. imagine -- ---why not take it to a judge with more authority. what we're being told it went through that lower position. what happened there has to be an affidavit and allegation of facts to tell a federal judge there is enough here we need a warrant and that's what we see happen. a lot of people say we could use a lot more transparency in this. we haven't heard from the d.o.j., attorney general what went down and what they are alleging and what the affidavit said. congressman mike turner is the ranking member on the house intel committee who say they want a briefing immediately. congress deserves immediate answers for f.b.i. director wray as to the actions ordered. i request an immediate briefing concern any national security threats used to justify your

decision. you've talked a great deal we have today on the channel and last night about the political implications of this potentially. you have to believe that the f.b.i., the attorney general has thought through these considerations. it would make no sense otherwise not to see how this potentially, if they do not have their ducks in a row, if they don't have something specific, if they don't have a case they believe is really strong against the president it will give light to what he said all along. he is the subject of attacks by the deep state. it will bolster his argument and give him a lot of ammunition, it would seem, if he runs in 2024. you have to think the d.o.j. has thought through all the potential implications. >> harris: if this can happen to a former president of the united states and they've hired through this monster spending bill 87,000 i.r.s. agents to come after the rest of us what

could it look like for the american people? on a bigger scale i look at this and why we need to hear from the d.o.j. immediately. great to see you. thank you for the reporting. let's get back to this. the unprecedented power grab raising big questions in legal circles. watch. >> the problem with the presidential records act being the basis of this type of action is that it has not been a criminal matter and certainly not been that way for former presidents. >> harris: all right some defense, though, of the d.o.j. coming from the oversight democrat ro khanna who says he has confidence that the d.o.j. has done its due diligence. >> the f.b.i. doesn't just go in unless a judge signs off on a search warrant. that means they have some probable evidence about possible wrongdoing. they have not been quick to do anything but it shows that they are concerned that serious

crimes were committed and they are following the evidence. >> harris: matthew whitaker, former acting attorney general during the trump administration is in "focus" now. let's begin with how this is carried out. i'm reading there are questions about procedures carrying out some of the boxes. i want to get into the nitty-gritty of this. were they supposed to go through evidence on site? i want to know. >> good to be with you today. one of the things that is a question is why send 30 f.b.i. agents to carry out 30 boxes? and how extensive did they actually search for the information they wanted or did they grab anything that wasn't attached to the walls? in this case, obviously if they had particular things they were looking for a subpoena could have easily accomplished the exact same retention and grabbing of the documents that a search warrant could. this is like you said unprecedented and really shocking.

>> harris: so real quickly, when things are done wrong in this sense, what is the blowback against the f.b.i. or the d.o.j.? we don't know if things were broken here, if you will, in terms of rules and laws. but there are so many questions and we aren't hearing from anybody yet. we have seen the f.b.i. do things and they don't get their come uppance. >> congress has an important oversight and funding position with the f.b.i. the inspector general at the d.o.j. has held the f.b.i. accountable especially individuals like andy mccabe and pointed out their poor decision making. this really goes to the top at least to merrick garland as to why he would be targeting the former president of the united states with these really draconian tactics. executing a search warrant to turley's point to the

presidential records act seems an extreme step as other people have been treated. for example, hillary clinton who alleged to have violated the same act with her private email server and not punished at all and no search warrants were executed. >> harris: 30,000. we have seen the clinton couple walk out of the white house with $28,000 worth of furniture and belongings they had to return to the white house. we won't even get into how those things were gathered. quick question before we move on. what does it mean when you hear that boxes have been turned over in this whole process by the former president? if he were cooperating with the f.b.i., with the d.o.j., why would this be necessary? >> i don't understand. harris, if you remember on january 20th we turned over the government. the previous president packs up his things, moves to wherever he is going to live and there

has to be an accommodation process. with the clintons and bushes, i'm certain with president obama, there was a discussion with the national archives as to what they had and what should be turned over to the presidential record. i think this process should have played out here. instead they got the f.b.i. involved to raid his home. >> harris: the f.b.i. raid of trump's mar-a-lago, his primary residents has credits crying hypocrisy when it comes to hunter biden. you mentioned the clintons and i'll mention what is current. they say they aren't doing nearly enough when it comes to investigating the president's son. former a.g. bill barr calling for a special counsel after whistleblower's revelations how f.b.i. agents handled information about hunter. >> it time for merrick garland to give the current u.s. attorney in delaware the protections of the special and

authority of a special counsel under the department's regulations. we have whistleblowers coming forward that raise against about the f.b.i.'s role in that case to provide additional assurance and deal with the appearance of a potential conflict between the administration and the investigation of the president's son. time has come to do that. >> harris: your response. >> bill barr is absolutely right. i've been calling for a special counsel in the hunter biden case in a long time. in this case again you have the f.b.i. taking a different route. for over three years they have had the laptop since 2019. haven't done much with it that we can tell. i'm worried that if merrick garland is putting his thumb on these types of investigation whether promoting this one against president trump or slowing down the one against hunter biden, he has an obvious conflict since this is the son of his boss. >> harris: as you look at your former place of employ, the

department of justice, and a side-by-side the f.b.i., do you think people have reason not to trust those agencies? >> i think a lot of americans believe there is a two-tier system of justice. allies of president trump are handcuffed and taken off planes for misdemeanor crimes and at the same time the people on the left are treated entirely different. so again perceptions become reality. the department of justice is in a crisis right now and we need more answers to these questions, not silence like we're seeing today. >> harris: i wonder if they know they are in a crisis and when we'll hear from them. matt whitaker, thank you for starting us off in "focus." fear the dark brandon. reaction after the white house tries to rebrand the president. cringe taken to a new level? definitely. plus more alarm bells over a

super-sized i.r.s.. i just mentioned it. 87,000 additional i.r.s. agents under the new bill they just passed. bigger than the f.b.i., state department and border patrol combined. >> the whole i.r.s. story epitomizes with what is wrong with the d.c. swamp, congress, executive branch and massive regulatory state put on ordinary americans. >> harris: that's the focal point now. who they are going to target with these i.r.s. agents. and why many millions of americans should be concerned. a moment to remember olivia newton john. i was such a fan. she lost her battle with breast cancer at the age of 73. her work left an indelible imprint on generations of people in america who loved "grease." in her memory. a little bit of her voice now around the world.

>> i guess in theory they hire more people they'll catch more people evading taxes. i feel like the money could be allocated somewhere else. >> i have a fear of being audited. my real concern is who are actually going to benefit and who is going to be the losers actually of this type of policy change? my concern is that the lower income people are losing out on this policy change. >> i.r.s. needs to be smaller, not bigger. >> harris: the american

taxpayers can preach, can't they? they know. there is no hiding it. democratic plans to hand over the i.r.s. $80 billion in that spending bill they just passed to audit more americans, republicans warning the extra funding could put a target on certain americans. i put this back up there so you see. look at the agencies -- we desperately need more u.s. customs and border patrol agents, protection there. look at how the i.r.s. will dwarf the combination of these other agencies particularly at least one that needs more people. the head of the house gop campaign arm says joe biden is willing an army of i.r.s. agents to bully the middle class. the white house says that's not true. >> on the i.r.s. piece this is just the latest example of thoefs who do nothing to protect tax welfare for the rich at the expense of

everything else. they are lies. >> harris: aishah hosni has more from capitol hill. >> you're right. democrats believe more money for the i.r.s. means more auditors to go after the wealthy but historically speaking, people have plenty of reasons to be worried. so according to a fairly new analysis by syracuse university, the i.r.s. audits the poor about five times more than everybody else. in 2019 is it was revealed the top five places for audits were predominantly blook rural counties in the deep south. why? experts say budget cuts have caused the agency to lose their most experienced auditors who could go after the wealthy. >> auditing the working poor is much easier than auditing the affluent or wealthy. it takes many more resource and time. so the audits aren't just way, way down for the rich and for

corporations but thinner and less good. >> back then in 2019 i.r.s. commissioner called on congress to increase i.r.s. funding to help the agency fix the imbalance. taxpayers we've been talking to have mixed opinions whether it will actually happen. >> some of my family i'm worried about. >> i have nothing to hide. go ahead and have a look. >> the record of the i.r.s. as an institution is one that should not lead us to think that this money will be dealt with responsibly. >> republicans are using the raid on former president trump's home to warn folks about the i.r.s.. senator ted cruz tweeted the f.b.i. raiding donald trump is unprecedented and abuse of power. with 87,000 new i.r.s. agents they're coming for you, too. they said the i.r.s. will not

target the middle class americans or small businesses. taxpayers we've talked to say they really hope there will be some congressional oversight with that big fat check that they are getting. >> harris: who is watching out for that money? as you say oversight. i want to know who has that job and can we watch them? can that be our job? yes, it can. aishah, thank you. raymond arroyo fox news contributor and attorney on the job. let's start with watching the money. who has the money that they want and why? >> when you look at the taxpayers, harris, only 1.8% of taxpayers are in that upper bracket making more than $400,000. that means the i.r.s. has no choice but to target the other 98% of taxpayers. that is where their fire power -- i mean that literally -- will be trained. what people don't realize is, there is a criminal division of the i.r.s.. if you run afoul of them there

is something called the criminal investigation division. 2017 goa government accounting office report found they have in their possession, the i.r.s. 5 million rounds of ammo and 5,000 plus weapons. they just made another purchase this year. they spent $700,000 buying more ammo. my question is simply why? >> harris: what do you mean? >> i mean guns, ammunition. armed agents. >> harris: wait a minute. this is not a metaphor. you are saying the criminal division of i.r.s. from that 2017 gao report have 500 million rounds of ammo. >> on hand and just bought more. >> harris: what in the world would they need that for? >> they were training for the enforcement. at least that's the thinking if you look deeply into it. >> harris: that's an army. >> a guard that will be

unleashed again. joe biden said he would grow the middle class, harris and unite the country. instead you have a government targeting the citizens and now arming this guard to go out and grab all the cash they can by any means necessary. americans should take a deep and hard look at this and consider what is happening before your eyes and where the money is going. as one of those people interviewed just said, why does this goes? it goes to china who makes most of the solar panels and the batteries that charge these electric cars that you are paying. >> harris: that's an agenda-driven spend, a green energy driven spend and coming from the far left but there must be some complicity in more moderates in the democrat party to have this happen under biden's watch, too. there must be. >> 9 billion in welfare to these electric vehicle producers and you or i if we can afford an electric car will

give you a $7,000 gift bonus from the government. why? why are we manipulating the marketplace this way? >> harris: perhaps the most amazing is the lavish subsidy. for the rich and famous. who else is buying $100,000 electric cars? the bill expands up already deep federal subsidies for americans who purchase electric vehicles. just what raymond is telling us. the average price of a new e.v. is more than $54,000 even with uncle sam kicking in $7500 if all requirements are met. it is like giving everyone a $1,000 gift card to go to the rolex store. who pays the only $25,000 owed on the watch? what do people do? >> rich. they are the only ones who can afford that kind of lavish expense. middle class americans can't stay there. >> harris: i want to get to this quickly.

you leaned hard on the criminal division of the i.r.s.. what are they doing now? >> one would imagine they are gathering -- hiring agents, is what they're doing. they have the cash. here is the question, why? why? what is driving this? why did the democrat party decide to go in this direction? i might have an answer. the unions. the national treasury employees union has a pac. 97% of their donations in the last cycle went to democrats. if you grow membership in that union, the i.r.s. union, the national treasury employees union. if you grow members, you grow income for the democratic party. a great laundering operations behind the scenes and a great way to grab cash from mom and pop around america. >> harris: i want to talk about the second amendment, americans getting guns and the i.r.s. having 500 million rounds of ammunition. the white house's latest shot at rebranding the president of the united states.

this time they are trying to own the negative let's go brandon, remember that little? they did it at football games and what not? anyway, they will try to do that after recent legislative wins. deputy press secretary andrew baits tweeted this. dark brandon is crushing it along with an image of biden with red laser eyes. they followed that up with the dark brandon rises. an apparent nod to the batman movies. conservative not impressed. you can try to dark brandon meme your way out of sub 40 approval ratings all you want but throwing hundreds of billions of green boon doing else in the middle of inflation won't turn things around. >> biden is going to look no better in the metaverse of madness than he does in reality. i understand why they are trying to cast him as a super

hero, create an avatar for him but the reality is distressing. he can't get through a sentence without the teleprompter and then he needs help. it's better to easter bunny follower. who does hunter get to play in the metaverse? the ink blower, the laptop pirate? i don't know what they try with the joe biden avatar with the eye. wall street pirate, memory care unit guy? i don't know what that is. it's a stupid look particularly with a nazi eagle behind him which they projected in the background there. bad messaging and a bad record. >> harris: i don't know why you would put a scary meme, though, on a guy who fell off a bike that wasn't moving? i mean -- it is low hanging fruit at this point to point those things out. why would you advocate for

something that is so -- that we know to be true. biden's broken border policies are pitting americans against each other now. it is texas versus new york, washington, d.c. a war of words with real life consequences. plus 91 days until americans go vote in the mid-term elections. that f.b.i. raid on mar-a-lago could get trump's base all fired up and go to the polls like never before. plus a big 2024 tease. >> this is the last injustice. >> it is a fishing expedition. >> it is sick what they are doing. >> what it will do is bring the republican party together again. o get more. more cash, more savings, more peace of mind. the newday 100 va loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value. up to $60,000 or more. veterans are saving an average of $615 every month. with more ways to help more veteran families,

with adams own words saying what is truly horrific is biden's failure to protect our borders and says he will continue to send buses to washington, d.c. and new york city until biden does his constitutional duty. nate foye reporting live for us in new york. nate. >> new york city mayor eric adams calls governor abbott anti-american for busing migrants into new york city. the governor saying hold on a second, the federal government has been flying migrants into new york for months. so why is the reaction so different now? the mayor here in new york is also explaining why he believes only 14 of an expected 40 migrants arrived on that second bus. listen to this. >> people thought when they got off the buses they thought would be arrested or apprehended. governor abbott what he is doing is so inhumane. >> so adams also says migrants

were forced on buses, harris. according to the governor's office, quote, these migrants willingly chose to go to new york city having signed a voluntary consent waiver available in multiple languages upon boarding that they agreed on the destination. if the mayor wants a solution to the crisis he should call on the president. so far senate majority leader chuck schumer is staying quiet. >> no off topics on the migrant crisis i haven't had time to dig into it. i will get a briefing and put out a statement. >> top line message is it's unconscionable that a governor would treat human beings as pawns in his chess game to score political points. >> also today the "new york post" reports that new york city is working to open a new facility where we are here in

mid town manhattan to house migrants. the department of homeless services is accepting proposals now. the facility could hold up to 600 families. happening right now as we speak, harris, new york city council is holding a special hearing. we were listening in. they say an estimated 4,000 migrants have arrived here in the city since may, which obviously predates when the texas governor started sending buses to new york. >> harris: that's an interesting detail. i want to run that down and look forward to your next report. schumer now thinks it's a crisis now that it is happening to democrat areas. i saw so many of those men, not children, you have to digitalize their faces, but they have phones, on camera. if they doubt that this is a forced situation they ought to queue the tape and listen to the audio. they aren't being coerced. they're on there and you have interviewed people. so easy for the other side to figure this out.

we're all in it together. wonder if they are interested. nate foye, thank you. power panel jason chaffetz fox news contributor former utah congressman and leslie marshall is here with us, fox news contributor as well. great to see you both. jason, i will start with the point i was making at nate foye wrapped up his reporting there. that is the fact of where is the genuine curiosity and care that democrats say they have for the situation? they want to accuse republicans for not caring for these people as they come across the border, although they've been feeding them. those red states and areas they've been clothing them. i'm not really sure is that hypocrisy, are the democrats confused? >> i don't think there is any confusion. homeland security brought in a guy to own up the borders with the homeland security. we are talking about millions of people here. cry me a river mayor of new york city that you have dozens

that are coming in at a time. but the country is dealing with this everywhere. texas and arizona are doing the right thing, facilitating their safe passage to where they want to go in new york city. but they should never have been invited to the border. by the way, this is the same mayor adams who initially was supportive of giving all of these illegal people the right to vote in the elections. so don't tell me that there hasn't been an open invitation to come to the city here. i just think it is rough. it is human trafficking, drug trafficking. the number of people raped along the way is disgusting and all because kamala harris and joe biden opened up the border and invited these people to come in and they have by the millions. >> harris: leslie, you and i have been talking about this just about every time we see each other. you call the balls and strikes on this. nobody is getting this right. when you hear one side accusing

the other of not having a heart first of all it's never the issue. this is the greatest country in the world. we do so much more so many around the world. that's not where the argument ought to lie. >> i don't think it's where the argument deeply lies. i live in california. we are a border state, too. >> harris: you have a wall. >> we feed the people coming into the state. here is the problem. when you just look at the facts and the optics, the race between governor abbott and beto o'rourke is not as big as it was before. he doesn't have the lead he did. looks like a publicity stunt and looks political and you know what it does? two things. one, you want to call immigration a crisis. then the governor is displaying he can't lead. he doesn't lead by example. this is juvenile and irresponsible. in addition showing in addition

to not being able to handle the crisis, the crisis of a mass shooting. not able to handle the crisis in his own state when it comes to immigration and further, what we're looking at here is somebody who is saying i'm going to pass the buck of human beings from central america and mexico who don't have families in the u.s. they have family in texas and chicago that's what numbers show. >> harris: you did horrible gymnastics there. let's deal with the core of what you are saying and that is a knock against governor abbott who is asking for the very same thing that these democrat governors and mayors are asking for. mural bowser in d.c., we need federal help, she says. fill out the form better before we give you the feds you need. jason. >> look at what's going on in arizona. they are streaming across by the hundreds of thousands. do you know how many immigration judges there were a couple of years ago in order to

adjudicate these cases? three. that's how many. this is a federal responsibility. and this government has prioritized 87,000 i.r.s. agents not supporting the border patrol. they won't even meet with the border patrol. this is a federal issue and the federal government is failing. it is on kamala harris -- joe biden in his 50 years never even been to the border. he doesn't even care. >> harris: let's move to this. both political parties are looking to use the f.b.i. raid of donald trump's primary residence mar-a-lago to their advantage when it comes to the mid-term elections and beyond. within hours of news, a large crowd of trump supporters gathered outside cheering and chanting in support of trump. >> we all know what you are trying to do, d.o.j. create a charge so he won't be table run for reelection. >> they are afraid he is going to win and so they are trying to take him out. >> they are trying to tarnish him. >> they don't investigate

anything else but investigate him when he is not here in the dark in his home. >> harris: why an f.b.i. search won't stop trump from running in 2024 and might encourage him. whatever legal jeopardy the former president may be in expect a campaign announcement from him soon after the mid-terms. just after the raid trump himself posted a four-minute long video in what looks like his biggest 2024 tease to come. he ended it with the best is yet to come. leslie, i come to you for your reaction. >> i would agree that this actually riles up his base and actually helps former president trump. i don't think anybody will stop donald trump from running. i don't think his ego will allow him not to run. my opinion, people think i'm crazy, this is not political. the department of justice is the department of justice. investigation into january 6. they have to investigate everything. if anyone has removed classified documents and put

them in their home mar-a-lago or otherwise no matter who you are. no one is above the law. they have to do that. they have a warrant, this was a legal raid, this was a legal seizures of these documents and if there is nothing to hide and nothing illegal, this should be embraced with open arms saying look at everything and come on in. >> harris: i don't know if you're aware they have already been cooperating and turning over materials. i understand local magistrate issued the warrant and we're about to do a lot more digging. this guy used to be with federal u.s. attorney's office and went to work for jeffrey epstein. that was his last job. they didn't go to a federal attorney or a federal judge on the docket right now. i learned that just now in detail. there are some things to question and look at here. jason. >> i'm tired of this argument that nobody is above the law. when it was the clintons and

they had classified information in her disposal nobody raided their house. they gave them immunity agreements. when they had it at her attorney's office they didn't raid those offices. when we issued a subpoena on the i.r.s., nobody raided those offices. don't tell me this is equal and fair and that there is equity in this. it is a one-way street and it is all against trump. >> harris: we'll follow the news as it is made. leslie and jason. experts are warning china may invade taiwan in the next two years. what it says about the biden's administration's threat from beijing. joey jones in "focus" next. alright, limu, give me a socket wrench, pliers,

>> harris: we'll never forget as we count down the days of the botched deadly exit from afghanistan. you are looking at the timeline as u.s. forces left the u.s. backed afghan government collapsed, taliban took over the country province by province. it only took a few days. we gave 20 years of blood and treasure there. days before the final u.s. troops pulled out, a bombing at the airport in kabul killed 13 u.s. service members and 170 afghans trying to get out away from the taliban. a year later news busters notes

a lack of media criticism of president biden's decision to withdraw that way against what the generals were telling him. their headline abc rediscovers afghanistan debacle but three seconds to biden. joey jones, former marine bomb technician and fox news contributor. your top line thoughts. >> harris, listen. the failure of the afghanistan war rests on the shoulders of four different administrations. the failure of august 2021 rests solely with joe biden and anything that administration tries to do to conflate those two things is dishonest and hurtful and disrespects the sacrifice of that war. as someone who sacrificed a little bit myself as a brother to those who sacrificed everything, i don't blame joe biden for the afghanistan war being a failure. however, he is the only of those four presidents who had eight years experience going into his presidency on what to do there and he is the only

president that let 13 americans die in one day as needlessly as he did. that is troublesome that our media doesn't want to hold him accountable. what will happen is we'll go through the news of the day and what's happening in taiwan and ukraine and go through mid-terms and a large part of the american population what happened on august 21 will be a bygone thought and every year there after. >> harris: last friday we marked the beginning when president biden and his team were deciding what to do and he would have been listening to the generals or not listening to them as it were. as we get closer along the timeline that "the faulkner focus" team put up moments ago, i want to know your thoughts. this was not a situation that we couldn't see coming. the taliban took kabul. that's what day it is one year ago today. we knew some things, joey. the president knew some things.

>> it's easy to blame a lot of the failure in afghanistan specifically on the doha agreement and how it panned out to be not much more than the paper than it's working on. we don't know what it was one piece of a larger puzzle. to have biden stand there and tell us to our faces that afghanistan will not fall, that kabul will not fall, that afghan security forces can hold their own and when we see that doesn't happen to blame it on the military who sacrificed so much over this war really just shows cowardice, not leadership. no leadership from a man better equipped than any person in this country to lead the exit to afghanistan. he oversaw the most eight deadly years of that war as vice president. he could see what was coming better than anyone we coffee elected and that's what happened under his best attempt at leading us through that. it is my opinion he allowed to

happen what happened because the political calculation was no matter how bad it got it wouldn't matter in 2024. that is sickening. >> harris: what is it that you that i we have learned as we face new enemies now? china giving its eye on taiwan and russia obviously giving everything it has got to take ukraine? >> i learned our defense strategy is only as good as the next election coming up and it has always been the case since i enlisted in 2005 and fought in 7, 8 and 10. we fought 10, two year wars. every presidential election was to change and complain. that's what the politicians have gone and the ruling class of military has adopted the same strategy. because of that we have woke generals instead of warring generals. that's a problem. listen, i want the people in military to be good at one thing. killing the enemy with a smile on their face and i don't care

anything else about who they are,. they are not a singular person but part of a big machine from the time they enlisted. the personal feelings and identity matter not. they are part of a bigger effort. >> harris: joey jones breaking it down as you always do and can never express our thanks to you and so many men and women who served. appreciate you. >> thank you, harris. thank you for your family's service. >> harris: absolutely. thank you. give them a call. veteran homeowners, home values are going through the roof, and so is home equity. unlock your equity and turn it into an average of $60,000 cash with the newday 100 loan. make home improvements, pay big bills, put it in the bank for security today or retirement tomorrow. rates are still low but starting to rise. so call now. you get more at newday usa.
