tv   The Faulkner Focus  FOX News  September 14, 2022 8:00am-9:00am PDT

8:00 am
victims? >> nation of victims spells the beginning of national decline. a trace a lot of the history of the fall of the roman empire was what you see in america today. there is path back to excellence. that's what it means to be american. >> bill: good luck with the book. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next with "the faulkner focus". here she is. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. united states markets took a punch we have haven't seen since june of 2020. you remember when the mysterious coronavirus was devastating the nation. this time our financial demise is coming from one source, presidential policies of joe biden. queue the tape of the party he threw at the white house. james taylor stopped by to perform for free. ♪♪
8:01 am
♪ my time is at hand, i won't make it any other way ♪ >> harris: his hit fire and rain is what was happening in the markets yesterday. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". here is what's happening right now at the corner of wall and broad. it's what world markets are watching and affected by as biden's economy is burning, rome style, rome is burning reference there. we're up just a bit as investors have rebounded a tad. it is early in the day. during the celebration, the president was hosting his so-called inflation reduction act celebration. the dow jones industrial average was a free fall. ended up down more than 1200 points on the day. major news networks pulled away from their coverage of the president's party as things were going south. one critic said biden's bash was a slap in the face. "new york post" named the
8:02 am
president tone deaf joe. we know he doesn't hear or apparently see americans struggling with sky high food prices and everything else going up. food costs are up 11.4% from a year ago. last time we saw that jimmy carter was in office and it was dismal for americans. the criticism is flowing. >> i don't think any average american who is struggling to live paycheck to paycheck thinks that is something to celebrate. but in joe biden's world, it is something to celebrate. this is what republicans need to close the last 60 days of this election about. biden inflation. it is only getting worse. >> harris: fox business edward lawrence is live outside the white house. edward. >> president joe biden clearly was taking a victory lap over the inflation reduction act as the cpi inflation report noted showing 40-year highs. the inflation report also indicated to the federal reserve we will see more
8:03 am
aggressive rate hikes. the dow made the single biggest drop since june of 2020. but again you saw it. the images out of the white house stark. a celebration with james taylor. when the president released a statement about being patient with americans about paying more here is one of his top advisors. >> important thing to note is this president does not have patience for it. he is taking action constantly. he is cap prescription drug costs to give people more incentives to have lower energy costs, which will put down ward pressure on prices. >> the producer price index out today shows greater than cpi inflation. companies still have pressure to pass on increased cost. in these reports the federal reserve looked at that core cpi inflation. when you take out food and energy prices, this is a
8:04 am
significant increase to 6.3% and tells the federal reserve inflation has become more entrenched beyond the rise and fall of gas prices. that means interest rate hikes. republicans saying this administration has its policies and priorities backwards. >> they should have had a fiddle yesterday for the president because they just -- they are missing what's going on in america right now. what they need to do is focus on basic economics, supply and demand, get back to cherishing the free enterprise system. stop dividing americans on their ability to earn and do well as opposed to trying to redistribute wealth. >> the president going to detroit for the detroit auto show and drive an $80,000 electric car, part of the transition the white house would like you to make. the administration saying everybody should go buy an electric car. back to you, harris. >> harris: tone deaf and blind. good to see you, thank you. jason chaffetz, fox news
8:05 am
contributor former republican congressman for the state of utah. it is heartbreaking to see what was going on in the white house celebration yesterday and the timing of it all. is this more, is this politics? >> of course it's politics but come on, i just read a report in august that there are some 20 million americans who are behind on their electric bills. they literally cannot pay the electricity in their own homes and yet james taylor is out there having a party about the green new deal they were able to pass under the guise of the inflation reduction act. inflation is real and hits americans on every aspect of the economy and totally avoidable if not for the policies of joe biden and kamala harris and the democratic party. >> harris: you know, from the very beginning it was not widely known, we tried to tell as many through our programming as possible, but the white house passed the inflation reduction act so quickly that
8:06 am
the cbo score, the penn and wharton scores for it that said that you wouldn't even see the act approach inflation until 2031 has now been revised and could be farther out than that. we're talking about something that is a fantasy. they called it a reduction act. and then they partied. >> you ask the white house spokesperson to give her response on what is going to happen immediately. these are self-inflicted wounds, harris. on day one they shut down and turn off the energy spigots in america. energy is a core segment of our society has a trickle effect. shipping lettuce so your salads, the production of milk, all the consumer electronic goods all have a downstream effect based on the cost of energy. they try to say the cost of gas
8:07 am
is down a dollar. but guess what, it's double what it was before. then they blame putin and full of excuses every single step of the way and i think america sees it and are fed up with it. >> harris: irony is putin is getting his butt kicked and now there was a party at the white house. they can't blame putin right now. he is fighting for his own existence. >> yesterday a reporter asked joe biden if he was concerned about inflation and he said no, it's 1/10 of 1% and not concerned about it. you go to the white house spokesperson and she talks about the national deficit. that is not only tone deaf but the biggest mistakes of the last 18, 19 months and the biden administration have happened because they chose them to happen. they were not on the receiving end of something that was really bad. they chose these policies and
8:08 am
there is a consequence for it. >> harris: they better be careful bragging about the student loan money that they want to give out. jason, you and i have talked bit. it is a short egg timer tiktok before we see the deficit impacted by that and then the cbo score came out this week and said that very thing. that it is going to go up and inflation will be impacted by that. the deficit will be impacted. what a mess. >> look, you have the fed that's trying to tighten interest rates. remember, the pure definition of inflation, too much money chasing too few goods. instead of offering more product like energy products, what they're doing is the congress and the white house are spending record amounts of money at the same time the fed is trying to reduce that money supply by raising interest rates. so they are working against each other and that's why the markets are in such fluctuation and the american people are
8:09 am
suffering because inflation in every sector is running rampant. double digits in most sectors. >> harris: you say the markets are in fluctuation. people look at the screen and we're in the green. some investors are taking advantage of cheaper stocks after the freefall yesterday. let's hope they see something positive soon so they can fluctuate a more permanent direction. overall it might not have been a good day for president biden whether he realized it or not. he became a lightening rod for tough talk when he hopped on air force one to cast his ballot for yesterday's dale ware primary. those air force one flights on the taxpayer dime and did it one day after appointing a new green energy czar. critics went after his hypocrisy saying he may have cast one of the most expensive ballots in u.s. history. jeb bush tweeted why are the primary elections so important
8:10 am
that couldn't have been less than a dollar for an absentee ballots? some reports are they forgot to order him one? >> yeah, that does beg the question, did the bidens forget to get their absentee ballot and had to go. i wish all people would vote on the same day with the same information in person. if that's the signal he is trying to say voting in person is the best way to get it done he has come around, hallelujah. i think he just forgot is my guess. what a boondoggle. >> harris: one last point from you. as we say -- i mentioned we haven't seen economic times like this since jimmy carter was president. we're less than 60 days away from the mid-term elections. what should republicans do right now? what should be happening? what do you want your former colleagues on the hill to be doing? >> don't take the bait and
8:11 am
switch the topic. talk about inflation, talk about energy prices, talk about crime, talk about immigration, talk about foreign policy, talk about the things that are actually really going to affect this world. talk about our national defense and what needs to be done there. those are the core issues. if you stick to that no matter what the question is, just keep going back to that and show the contrast. because it is a choice election between the policies of the green new deal and aoc and nancy pelosi and they all want to do and what republicans are trying to do in a very conservative way. if they do that they'll win by big numbers. >> harris: new video highlighting an alarming new trend. illegal immigrants in camouflage scaling a partial wall on the border in arizona. the white house claims it has taken unprecedented action and points the finger over the crisis. who are they pointing at? plus we're counting down the mid-terms elections as voters
8:12 am
in key states split on what will tip the scale. >> i feel democrats will better protect our public. >> republicans. look around and watch the news. it's awful. can't do it anymore. >> every time you go to the gas pump i want to smack somebody. >> harris: we're focusing on the voters' voices with 55 days to november 8th. pollster lee carter is in "focus" to break it all down next. she is on set with me. those loans are not cheap. neither are cash advances from your credit cards. call newday. you may not realize it, but one of the lowest cost ways to get money is to use your va home loan benefit. the newday 100 va loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value at low re-fi rates instead of high credit card rates. and that makes a huge difference.

>> harris: the nation's mid-term election primaries are in the books. the mid-terms are just 55 days away and now there is an opportunity to hear voters' voices as we do here on "the faulkner focus" as they make
8:18 am
their decisions at the polls. lee carter is a pollster and president, she and i will work together this election season to take you through voters' realtime reactions to the promises the candidates are making on all the top issues. let's get to it. the senate race in pennsylvania could decide that chamber's balance of power. big controversy over democrat john fetterman's health and reluctance to debate before people start to vote absentee next monday. he wants to push that off until october. his republican opponent dr. oz talked about that with me on friday. watch the lines on your screen as red represents republican voters's reaction. yellow for independence and blue for democrats. look at the screen. >> i have tremendous empathy for john fetterman's trouble with his stroke and the heart failure around for five years. he hasn't told me or anybody else the details we need to know to answer your question.
8:19 am
that's part of the challenge. john fetterman is trying to make it about health so people feel sorry for them. it is about honesty and integrity. he can't have it both ways anymore. either he is healthy enough to debate and he wants to hide his radical record. >> harris: you will give us a grade and analysis. >> republicans gave an a, responded favorably all the way through. independents gave it a way. democrats f. not surprising is the democrat reaction there. what i think is so really important that he did was he expressed some empathy and he was supportive of his health issues, but then he came in swing. a lot of time candidates go at each other. that wouldn't have work. he said i feel sorry for him and his health struggles. it was a winning moment for dr. oz. >> harris: he needed that because he had been in that
8:20 am
position of hitting fetterman without the empathy. he is a doctor and able to do that and with empirical evidence of what might be going on with the patient. the day after new numbers showed sky high inflation barely moved in august and food prices ticked up even more the president held a celebration of the inflation reduction act at the white house. we've been showing you that this hour. chuck schumer last week on the senate floor with this. >> the verdict is in. our bill is already creating new investments, new jobs, new opportunities for american families. jobs here in america, not overseas. let me repeat the good news. the inflation reduction act that every republican voted against is already -- already delivering for our country. this morning "the new york times" reported that in wake of the inflation reduction act a host of companies, quote, have announced a series of big ticket projects to produce the kind of technology the
8:21 am
legislation aims to promote. >> harris: too bad for him that wasn't true for 15 minutes. >> it is unbelievable. republicans gave it an f, independents c minus. democrats only a b, not so great news for chuck schumer. his job is selling us on it. the biggest pain point among americans is inflation and the economy. when you saw him say we're already delivering relief, right? as soon as he said that you lost independents, he lost democrats and it is really they have to sell this to the american people. 60% of americans don't believe it will help them in the short term. >> harris: you've got to sell it with the truth and they can't sell the truth because it's dismal. not good. this is helpful to see that realtime split and where independents are. you talk to me about how important they are. >> they are the key to the whole election. republicans, democrats polarized. opposite sides of the aisle. the independents are the key there. what led biden to win and they
8:22 am
are not following along now. >> harris: are they more motivated or do they have more intensity than the two groups that are on the outside, the republicans and democrats? >> they're more skeptical. they have chosen not to identify as either party because they don't identify with either party. they are listening to someone who will give them home. 90% say they're pessimistic of the future of the country. don't believe in the federal government and not trusting politicians. the issues important to them they want to hear about inflation, economy and the plans for us, not what is wrong. they're familiar with what's wrong in the country. they need to be sold a plan. >> harris: interesting point. not long ago they were in the 70s. now they're 90% saying we're going in the right direction. to president biden's student debt hand-outs. critics say it was a ploy to get young voters to support and they also say it is inflationary.
8:23 am
cbo came out with the report this week and said it is and that's a problem and it also affects the deficit. it is too expensive and unfair. even some democrats have given it a lukewarm reception. here is education secretary cardona selling it. >> certainly the public service loan forgiveness program is up and running. we provided a waiver for one year. widen the net of people to take advantage of it. all total $32 billion since day one of this administration in loan cancellation for those who have total and permanent disability, those who have been taken advantage of by their institutions of higher education. we aren't slowing down and want to make sure college is more accessible and more affordable for americans across the country. >> harris: agreed. >> republicans gave it an f, rejecting it. independents a d. overall democrats gave it a c plus. what they did respond favorably to is making college for
8:24 am
accessible. not debt forgiveness. the democrats are pitching it as a big win. it is not a big win. people across the board what i have heard from republicans talking about this with them, republicans unfair runaway spending doesn't seem like it will be equally spent. independents feel like it is very unfair. a lot of people paid back student loans. some people don't have them on all and an unfair burden on all of us and democrats think it is the wrong thing to spend money on now. college debt is not the biggest issue. >> harris: if you average that, it's a fail. >> it is. >> harris: not the baddest news but doesn't matter what we talk about until we see how people vote and that's what the last primary showed us an the whole election season. we've heard this before. it is not just enough to run against the democrats. you have to run for something. jason chaffetz and i were talking about that. here is karl rove on how republicans can win.
8:25 am
>> if a candidate gets out there and lays out what their vision is and says you and i both agree, you, mr. and mrs. ordinary citizen and i agree the country is going in the wrong direction and we need to turn it around. here is what i want to do to fight inflation. get government under control. get the border secured. to crack down on crime, to make certain that the values that made america great are respected and strengthened. that's the kind of winning message. you have to go out there every day with a plan to lay out and execute the plan. >> harris: you have to watch the screen. i observed there and tell me if i'm wrong, the red, republicans and yellow independents, the lines are getting closer together. >> independents are aligning with republicans and in 2020 they aligned more with democrats. the message is aligning among the republicans. republicans gave it an a,
8:26 am
independents a b and democrats c. i want to hear what you are going to do for me. we know we don't like trump. we don't like biden. things aren't working. we want a better way and future and plan. tell us what you will do for us. stop attacking each other, enough is enough. this is what they wanted to hear and really when he talks about the inflation and the economy you saw the lines pop across the board. >> harris: quickly, now to do this you have to talk to voters obviously. 55 days. a lot can happen in 55 days. >> yes. >> harris: do people have hope that this can happen when you just described? >> what we're hearing a lot if voters is no one is doing it, right? >> harris: it's an opportunity for one side or the other. >> a huge opportunity. lot of folks are saying the republicans are not telling me what they are going to do, what will be different if i vote for a republican house and senate. i want to know what the difference is. they're spending a lot of time telling us what's wrong. we know what's wrong.
8:27 am
tell me what you'll do to fix it. that's the opportunity. democrats will have a much harder time. they can't sell their policies in any way that people are buying it. even their own base. you see the top performing messages for democrats aren't doing as well as they should when you talk about what they are doing. i think there is a huge opportunity for republicans here to lay out a plan, tell us what they will do and what will be different and better and they could run away with it. >> harris: you and i will do this throughout the rest of the season and we'll be together on election night. thank you for stopping and making it our first time. a lot of information. people need to watch the screen. be careful what you do wish for. far right candidates winning or leading after a key primary last night and they may have democrats to thank for the big boost. whether the democratic party's meddling is, in fact, backfiring. the white house celebration for its spending bill or what they like to call inflation reduction act may look even worse in november.
8:28 am
>> joe biden and fellow democrats are now destroying the american dream. he was actually patting himself on the back for fixing inflation and if you think that seems crazy, it's because it is. >> harris: we are looking at an inflation election whether the democrats like that or not. and they seem to be top down from the white house ignoring it. rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel in "focus" next.

8:31 am
8:32 am
8:33 am
8:34 am
. >> harris: bolduc projected to win on the democrat side. democrats spent money on republicans. newt gingrich. >> it's interesting in terms of the hypocrisy of president biden's philadelphia speech and his vicious, hateful attacks upon what he called maga republicans. democrats turn right around and in several states have spent money trying to help nominate what we would call conservative or maga republicans purely as a political tactic which makes you wonder if they're that afraid of them how come they keep helping nominate them. >> harris: the president calls them anti-fascist. hillary vaughn live on the ground in the granite state. >> that's exactly what we've heard. one of the candidates that democrats spent millions trying to help win retired army general don bolduc told me last night he thinks the strategy
8:35 am
that democrats used to try to boost the far right candidate, bury the moderate is ultimately going to blow up in their face in november. in new hampshire's house primary you mentioned caroline leavitt, a huge upset emerging the winner in a race that -- she will face congressman pappas in november. if she wins she would be the youngest woman ever elected to congress. >> the washington establishment and the democrats certainly count us out. they said i was too young, we were outspent but we were not outworked. >> senate primary in new hampshire fox hasn't called the race but don bolduc is in the lead. his moderate opponent chuck morse called bolduc last night
8:36 am
to concede. >> we have successfully protected ourselves. you sent the biggest signal to the establishment tonight. >> if bolduc wins he will face hassan in november. she has already said if don bolduc had his way in the u.s. senate he would vote to ban abortion nationwide. bolduc is too extreme for new hampshire. but he is already debunking that. >> i will support no legislation, zero legislation, at the federal level. we don't belong in the abortion arena. that is the states. and this state will do the right thing by granite staters. >> why do you think she keeps pushing the abortion issue? >> it's the only thing she's got. >> former president trump did not endorse anyone in these races so he did not have an
8:37 am
influence over pushing granite staters to choose a further right candidate. it is very clear the granite staters decided this time was not the time to play it safe. they did not think that choosing the moderate would be the best person to pick to go up against democrats in november. harris. >> harris: thank you very much. rnc chair ronna mcdaniel is in "focus" now. so interesting watching you watch that story because you said well, thank you for the cash. >> exactly. thank you for taking it off the playing field to defend your democrat incumbents that we're looking to beat in november. >> harris: how would they feel about the fact that their own party democrats, spent money on republicans. >> if i were alissa slotkin who will lose in michigan or dan kildee who will lose to paul young in michigan i will be upset. we have a lot of house seats up for grabs and democrats at risk. the democrat party put their priority on helping republicans. >> harris: talk to me about the
8:38 am
statement, what hillary vaughn was reporting. these were not necessarily people who needed help from the former president trump. no doubt the cash helped from democrats. who knows, maybe they would have won anyway. voters thought they had the better chance to go up against a democrat in the fall. what are democrats getting wrong? >> imagine that, the voters might know best, right? they know bolduc. he won the nomination previously and very well-known in new hampshire. a lot of the polling had him ahead already before democrats started meddling. she did a great job and you know how they won? good old fashioned politicking. working the state of new hampshire. i don't think independents in new hampshire will like democrats meddling in republican primaries. >> harris: talk about new hampshire beyond the mid-terms. you'll go to a unity breakfast tomorrow. that state matters in 2024.
8:39 am
>> it does. bolduc is already polling within the margin of error with hassan. i will be there with all the candidates and we bring everyone together after the primary and hug it out and focus on winning the general. we can pick up a house and senate seat in that state. >> harris: high prices are hitting the hardest in some of the biggest senator battlegrounds. mark kelly is up against blake masters, atlanta georgia where raphael warnock faces herschel walker, in miami, florida, republican senator marco rubio versus val demings and vulnerable democrats are silent over the latest inflation reports after previously claiming the inflation reduction act would reduce it. all those names that fox reached out to, 25 members of congress all who declined to
8:40 am
respond just completely silent, what, nobody wants to defend the inflation reduction act today? >> yeah, they are hiding, right? it's crickets out there. people are hurting harris. this is the number one issue we're seeing in the polling, economy and inflation. republicans have to finish the sentence. we can't just say inflation. we have to explain that people are paying more for egg, milk, rent, car insurance. it is death by a thousand cuts for a family getting hit at every level and their budget is taking a beating and wondering how to make ends meet. it is not just gas anymore it's everything. democrat policies caused this. these candidates know this and so we need to make sure we're making clear to the voter this happened because of joe biden and democrats who voted to overstimulate the economy. instead of helping the american family right now they said let's put 87,000 i.r.s. agents on the street is what we need to do. >> harris: something you said charles payne from fox business
8:41 am
and i talked about the cost of breakfast and who is going out the door right now? the new schoolers for moms and dads, the new school year and now the price of getting them started with that important moment of the day, that meal, is sky high. it is rocking in some cases eggs so on and so forth 38% up from last year. >> school supplies. i sent my senior to high school. it is up $800 for the average family the notebooks and pens, the simple things they need. instead of helping our kids who were left behind because of the pandemic let's pay off tuition for kids who already graduated. families struggling now everything is costing them more and democrats are the reason why. >> harris: speaking of inflation the wall street editorial board declared inflation election. that's what we'll see in november. they write the darkest moments of inflation in four decades have occurred entirely on president biden's watch. largely of his own making since he still expresses no intention
8:42 am
to change course, voters will have to elect a congress willing to restrain him. another op-ed with the headline dems sleeply walked us into a recession and now they are ignoring the wake-up call. a recent poll shows voters continue to point to inflation as their top issues. that's exactly what chairwoman mcdaniel is saying and a big majority of biden's policies have made the economy weaker. >> absolutely. people are hurting. then they look at washington and say how are you not noticing how hard this is? >> harris: how are they not noticing? >> how does joe biden have a celebratory speech knowing why people are hurting. this is the american people first election making their problems first. how do we solve problems for families who are dealing with drugs, fentanyl coming to their schools, dealing with the border issues, dealing with
8:43 am
kids who are dealing with deficits coming out of the pandemic? 9-year-olds are at a 30 year low in reading and math and deal with the mental health issues and how do we deal with the kitchen table issues that every family is dealing with now? how do i put food on the table? going to the grocery store is breaking my bank. >> harris: you can't deal with mental health in your teenager or do any of that if everybody hasn't been fed. >> exactly. kids feel scared. they know. >> harris: this is as basic as the baby formula crisis. nourishment for our young ones. thank you for being in "focus." crime is spiraling out of control across america. one democratic leader in chicago says public safety if his city is a joke. that's not even funny. the issue, a big one for the mid-term vote. the white house is claiming the border is secure. maybe we need to ask people who live there. >> there are a lot of people

>> as far as the border, we are taking unprecedented action. we have made over 3,000 arrests. we've installed border technology and set up joint patrols. we've got mexico to agree to pay $1.5 billion to improve border processing and security. compare that to the trump administration which largely just tried to build a wall, an ineffective wall along the border and couldn't finish that in four years. >> harris: oh my goodness gracious. the blame game gets a whole new chapter. while this is going on. fox shot this brand-new video illegal immigrants now wearing camo to get across the wall in arizona, the partial wall. over in texas border residents tell us the horrifying reality that they face every day. >> my grants coming in affecting the land. >> they are wanting stuff or
8:50 am
killing animals to eat. >> taught them how to use these weapons and teenagers 14 and 15 years old and it's something that had to be done because we don't know what can happen. >> harris: different picture than the one vice president in claiming. a lawmaker from her own party senator joe manchin. >> she is dead wrong on that. for anybody, the vice president, president, anybody to say our border is secure that's wrong. >> harris: we have our power panel. great to see you both. gianno, this seems really basic. what they are doing is not working. >> yeah, but i'm going the take a moment and agrees with the press secretary. unprecedented steps by this
8:51 am
administration, which was when joe biden first got elected inviting people into the country and they came in droves. you look at the numbers in july, over 100,000 arrests in july. this fiscal year almost 2 million encounters at the border. almost 800 people have died making the journey to america this fiscal years. those are just the people we know about. not to mention so much fentanyl has come into this country it can kill every american here. what this administration continues to do is lie and gas light americans on a weekly basis. people are fed up with it. it's why the texas governor is shipping migrants to chicago, new york, and other places where they need to understand this is the effect of the policies of the party in which you support. so everyone needs to come together and do something about it. >> harris: well, when the press secretary used the word unprecedented she didn't have in mind what you laid out. those are the facts. >> thanks for having me. a couple of things we can do.
8:52 am
we all agree the president cannot invite people to cross the border illegally. >> he did. they even said it. >> the president never said you should >> he said he welcomed migrants. >> harris: the vice president first told them not to come and then maybe she got a little talking to because she is the czar and then she said come. richard, go ahead. >> there hasn't been language that either the president or vice president said that. when you look at the footage what you see is people crossing the wall, right? which speaks to the fact there is more than we can do as a country, both democrats and republicans, to fix the problem we have at the southern border. we now can acknowledge a wall isn't a quick fix to solve border crossing. >> harris: why did nt kamala
8:53 am
harris didn't push to take down the wall in california and somebody criticizing not getting the wall done. kamala benefited from that in the state of california. >> we need a solution. bringing washington together and coming up with a plan that includes dealing with the problem in the northern triangle countries, dealing with the 11 million folks living in the shadows in this country. >> harris: any last words on this gee -- gianno. >> dems are in charge of everything. bipartisan piece of legislation republicans would get on board immediately. that's the problem. when they talk about border security they didn't want to hear it. they did not want to hear it under the trump administration
8:54 am
and they don't want to hear it under the biden administration. >> harris: i want to step in and bring it up on the big wall. cost analysis illegal immigrants released into the united states under joe biden's presidency will cost american taxpayers $20 billion annually. that is $4 billion additional to the $16 billion former president trump spent building and restoring hundreds of miles of border wall. that $20 billion is also on top of the well over $140 billion a year taxpayers already fund for long-term illegals. the biden administration has released 1.3 million illegal immigrants into the country and that does not include the 800,000 or so that we have not accounted for. real quickly less than 30, gianno. >> we also needed to talk about the covid testing they refuse to do. the joe biden administration has failed on the border.
8:55 am
many other issues. that's my point. >> harris: if you can do it in 10, richard. >> it's myopic to have it at the feet at joe biden. we need immigration- >> harris: you said comprehensive. we got that. you have to start somewhere. gentlemen, good to see you.
