look at that. >> bill: as you said, not moving the floor. >> dana: not worried about taxes? she likes the buffalo zoo. who wouldn't? a great place to visit, maybe when it's plowed. good to be with you. >> bill: i will check you later at 5:00 and see you tomorrow. >> dana: harris faulkner is next with "the faulkner focus." here she is. >> harris: we have breaking news at this hour as democrats in one area are bringing back masking just short of mandate. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." rsv, the flu and covid are surging across america right now. it is the fall season. we all knew this was coming. we're heading into colder winter months. rsv, the most serious right now because it attacks children. all of us have had this as children. rsv cases are up 95% compared

with this time last year. and again the pediatric care is the focus here. as for the flu, the positive case rate in the past week is 15%. the same period last year that number was less than 1%. we knew coming out of a pandemic, putting people in bigger spaces and going back to our lives, things were going to pop. a recent health and human services report recommends wearing a mask. some people are worried it could lead back to the mandates, though. it is a slippery slope and we know it. our own dr. marc siegel. >> masking may have some value but mandates cause tremendous harm. we have been over and over that. by the way, as soon as the mandates flew away and hhs should pay attention. as soon as they got rid of the mandates people stopped wearing masks all together, which meant

they were being forced. i think public education is the key here, not mandates. >> harris: fox news senior correspondent steve harrigan is on it for us. >> challenges on multiple fronts from what is being called a triple of covid, flu and rsv. health officials and the government are stressing the importance of vaccine. in different parts of the country there is talk about a return to wearing facemasks. >> we do have three infectious respiratory viruses all out there. the good news is we have two highly effective vaccines against two of them. >> as far as covid goes across the u.s. hospitalizations and death rates are either flat or declining. but in los angeles county, the average daily case rate is up 70% over the past month alone. officials there are now strongly recommending that people wear

masks indoors public places. this is not a mask mandate but a step in that direction away from the previous policy of personal preference. you talked about rsv as well. that is surging especially among small children 0-4. symptoms are often flu-like. most children recover in a week or two. some need treatment ought the hospital beds are in short supply. >> in some regions of the country the hospital system for pediatrics are at the point of being overwhelmed when you have all the intensive care beds occupied. >> rsv, the -- it would free up funding and allow hospitals to be more flexible dealing with what they call a crisis. harris, back to you. >> harris: steve, thank you very much. the outgoing white house covid advisor, dr. anthony fauci, is

on his unending media blitz. you know he leaves the end of next month. he is now making the interview rounds before stepping down and his take on the current state of the covid pandemic. take a watch. >> if you look at where we were a year ago at this time when omicron started to surge, we were having 800 to 900,000 infections and 3,000 to 4,000 deaths. so it is much, much better than it was but it is not at a level low enough where we should feel we're done with it completely. because we're not. >> harris: don't tell the president of the united states that because he told us more than a month ago that covid pandemic was over. jason chaffetz fox news contributor, former republican congressman of utah. jason, first of all, if the white house could get its messaging straight, there might not be a need for us to be entering the fall season without a really copious plan.

that's what we were asking for in may. >> the cdc has lost the trust of the american public. mixed messages and messages that contradict what somebody else is saying and didn't do the studies required along the way. wouldn't it have been nice if two years ago they had actually done a study on masks, what works and what doesn't work. they never did that. i think they knew it really did work and didn't want to have the answer. it is a guess but mal practice by the cdc to not do it and you have personified in dr. fauci somebody the country does not believe in. they just don't believe this guy at this point. >> harris: that's my confusion, you know. why not give somebody else the job? why not move forward? why not bring in another team of doctors since our little ones are getting hit by rsv? why not bring in people we no could generate trust based on

science and why not reach across the aisle where politics don't matter. we know they matter to dr. fauci. >> well, that's right. i think joe biden, president biden missed a huge opportunity to put a fresh face out there to engage the public, build back that trust. but no, they put out somebody who is more interested in being on the cover of "vanity fair" than he is in doing the job. he had time to write a book during the pandemic. i don't understand why they continue to put him out there as the lead face on this. so many people -- millions of people don't believe him. that's the problem. when you have years where he got it wrong, now when you actually need him, nobody believes him. >> harris: look, what i'm about to show you is china in lockdown. perennial lockdown. when you tell people to start doing things that we did at the beginning of the pandemic before we had vaccines or any of the like, when we tell people to start doing them again,

particularly in democrat areas, it is just above the waterline of mandating. here is a video of what is happening in china. this is exactly mandating. it is a communist nation and people are locked from the outside in in their homes. now they're reacting to the newly-imposed draconian lockdowns. this is something we rarely see. people protesting in china. >> yeah, to be that bad. these people are literally putting their lives on the line. you know how the chinese treat somebody who suggests dissent is okay. this happens in multiple cities simultaneously. i think the chinese have a real problem. welding locks so people can't get out. people are starving and they can't feed their families. look, we're nowhere close to that. we should be better and smarter than this. but the cdc has people we don't

trust. i want to know about his finances of dr. fauci and the dual role he takes in taking income potentially as royalties from some of these vaccines. put a fresh face in there, president biden, and do it right now. >> harris: fauci better get his story straight and expert opinion straight on the origins of covid in particular that killed more than 1 million americans and millions across the world. republicans are gearing up for a string of investigations when they hold the house majority in january. covid no doubt on top of their list. let's watch. >> very much in favor of legitimate oversight, absolutely. i have testified before congress, given the 38 years i've been director hundreds of times in many oversight hearings. they have clearly politicized it. i'm not political at all period.

that's ridiculous. this is a public health issue. i would be more than happy to explain publicly or otherwise everything that we've done. >> harris: he is offer to explain. why hasn't he done it yet? dr. fauci spent years dismissing the theory that covid could have originated from a lab leak. now quite the about face. >> we keep a completely open mind as to what the origin is. we have to investigate every possibility because this is too important not to do that. >> harris: look, you were a former chairman of the oversight committee. i don't know how it works. does he need to lawyer up? >> he probably does need to lawyer up. he says he will voluntarily come before congress. we'll see what it's like. if he gets a subpoena, he ising to have to come testify and probably multiple times in front of the house where republicans have the majority.

for him to suggest he is not political is laughable. he is a political monster. he also i think again per son files the idea that if you want term limits on members of congress, which i support, you also need to have term limits on these people at the upper echelons of government. for him to sit in the same seat for 38 years and become a multi-millionaire something does not add up here. the highest paid employee in all of federal government. will go into retirement making more than $4 hundred thousand a year. congress is going to want to know about a lot of things and he hasn't been forthright about the origins of covid. he could have suggested answers and opened up and given this information but now i think congress will have to pry it from his hands. >> harris: that is really interesting what you said term limits. i don't know exactly how it would work. 38 years in a position that gives us a situation where he now is among the least -- the

most public and least trusted public person in america, among them, like i said, is really excusable, right? could we have excused him? just stage right. >> senior-most positions allow people to get in involvement and serve. be in there for five years and let everybody else have the position. that would be about right. he is not the only person that can do this job and he has been there far, far too long. >> harris: he is leaving in 30 days. somebody is going to do it. >> he has a book tour, come on. >> harris: he is making a lot of our money. the biden administration's energy policies again. the white house is now pulling back sanctions and making a new fresh deal with a dirty player, venezuela, in the hopes of lowering gas prices here at home. the move gives the second largest u.s. oil company, chevron, the go ahead to operate

inside venezuela for the first time in years. the united states had imposed sanctions to punish brutal dictator maduro. critics are losing their voices shouting at this one. >> i don't know why we're going to communist dictatorships and begging opec plus to increase production when we have the energy here in america to get the job done. >> this administration won't allow us to drill in the united states. not in texas or oklahoma, not in alaska, not west virginia but we can pump oil from venezuela. it makes absolutely no sense. it has put america last energy policy. >> you see the biden administration make decisions which hurt americans through the continuing process here of weakening america and finding a way to help dictators. >> harris: americans have to pay attention to this. when they open their energy bills this winter, we'll get some ideas of why that is.

an op-ed calling out the president's recent decisions including the dirty deal with venezuela. the plan to pay poor nations reparations. an excerpt. washington occasionally makes miscalculations that help american enemies, undermine development in a poor country or harm u.s. economic interests. but to nail the trifecta requires a special blind of ideological blindness and incompetence and its mercifully rare. >> very well said. why don't we get rid of the sanctions onalaska and wyoming and west virginia, utah, new mexico and the places that actually produce energy? to reward dictators? that's what this administration is all about. not about green energy, it is rewarding dictators and fundamentally totally wrong. we're all paying the price. we have the resources right here

at home. >> harris: you know, the president, when you put on sanctions on someone in venezuela like maduro, like he is the devil, then why do you turn around and do a deal with the devil when after all that you said? last quick word. >> yeah. there is no reason to do it. you know what? chevron maybe you ought to have the guts to not do it. understand you won't do business in a place like venezuela. even though biden wants you to do it, maybe chevron should step up and say we don't do business if places like that. >> harris: great to have you in "focus" getting us kicked off. thank you. the dust has just about settled on the mid-term elections. while we did not see the red tsunami one high-profile democrat says her political party has no reason, nothing to celebrate. plus another 2024 possible democrat white house candidate says he is all in for biden. but what's really thinking?

>> you know what gavin newsom does every night? he says i hope joe doesn't run. but he has to say what he said the other day. he has to say he supports joe biden. , cars. we all need cash in the bank to stay ahead. well here's great news for veterans who own a home. home values have climbed to near all-time highs, too. that means the cash you need is right there in your home. newday can unlock it with the newday 100 va cash out loan. it lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value. not just part of it like some other loans. pay down high-rate credit card debt, consolidate your second mortgage and car loans, and have the security of cash in the bank. the va has granted newday automatic authority. when banks so “no” to a veteran, newday can say “yes.” when you really need to sleep. you reach for the really good stuff.

>> harris: 80-year-old president biden says it is his intention to run for re-election. did he use the >> how are your 2024 conversations going? >> president biden: not having any. we're celebrating. >> harris: maybe he could celebrate this. gavin newsom says he won't toss his hat in the ring for 2024 if biden runs. here is what he is telling "politico." i have told everybody in the white house from the chief of staff to the first lady i'm a

all in, count me in. some are saying maybe you have the read between the lines. >> he has to say he supports joe biden. if joe biden does not run, gavin newsom is going to run for president. he has been challenging ron desantis to a debate and trying to nationalize his profile. he really wants to bring the california disaster to the nation. this guy wants to run for president and basically he has to wait hoping, hoping that joe biden does not run. >> harris: can you imagine gavin versus desantis in a debate? not enough popcorn in my house for that one. two dozen democrats have been dodging and weaving every time they get asked the question about president biden running for a second term. a recent poll shows voters are overwhelmingly against it with most wanting a fresh face. charlie hurt, washington times opinion editor and fox news

contributor. scott bolden former d.c. democratic party chairman. scott, i will talk with you first. gavin, is he playing a little game here or do you think he will sit down? >> if he is, he is misfiring. he is on the record with the bidens and every other news story that every other news outlet that carries his story. he came out early but went so far as too say even if biden doesn't run, he still is not running. politicians change their mind all the time. if biden runs i don't think he will be challenged within the party whether it's newsom or anyone else. he is won four years. trump is on the other side as the leading candidate for the g.o.p. biden beat trump already. why would you upset that equation? if you believe that biden could beat trump again he is a disastrous business person, biden seems to be in the driver's seat including the

mid-terms where they beat back the red wave. >> harris: the economy charlie. >> biden math there. it's incredible. the clip that you showed of joe biden saying that he has no plans for 2024, he is just celebrating thanksgiving, the most perfect clip of his presidency. the most accidental president that we've ever had. the same forces that wound us up with him as president in the first place are still at play. as bad as joe biden is, all the alternatives are so much worse. democrats as a party cannot gather around any of these other nominees because the party is deeply splintered and they took away from these elections earlier this month that joe biden is doing everything right and joe biden himself said there are no lessons to learn and he doesn't need to change a thing. everything is going according to

plan. i happen to believe that's the wrong message to take from that election but that's the lesson they are taking. a lot of democrats are saying well then, this is a stamp of approval on joe biden. let's run him again. >> harris: you called biden the accidental president. the mid-term election red wave was a ripple. dems have a tiny majority in the senate and fighting so hard for another seat in georgia. republicans taking over the house. also with a narrow majority. the two outstanding races won't change much. o one long time dem strategist said her party has no business drinking champagne. >> we lost the house. we will still have horrible committee chairman taking on issues the american public do

not care about. i'm not celebrating the way some democrats are. democrats didn't have a good message on the economy. republican's message came up short, too. >> harris: they still don't have a good message on the economy. scott, i will go quick to you and then quick to charlie. >> that's because we're doing something about inflation and the economy. we passed the inflation reduction act. >> harris: it doesn't fight inflation. you read the cbo score. >> we're certainly doing something. gop has no plan. we were right on democracy and abortion being key issues. >> harris: let's see what it is going to be some january. if they put something in front of the senate. >> what's their plan? >> harris: and if it makes to it. we have to get back energy independence. >> they want to prosecute hunter biden. have at it. >> harris: all the investigations that your side

did of trump. what you told me every time i had a democrat on the show. you ran us into one of the worst economies in 40 years. >> it was coming anyway. >> democrats will own the economy in 2024. are you right. republicans did fail to close the deal with voters. they had the most -- they had the best atmosphere for them to make huge gains in both the house and senate and they failed to close the deal. that's a real problem that republicans need to reflect upon and hopefully they won't take the same wrong lesson out of this election the democrats are that they did everything right. they didn't. they need to work on that. i do think in 2024 democrats will still own the economy. >> harris: i don't know, democrats are saying to the world now, not untrue, survival is not under rated. i think you guys are just -- >> winning means everything. >> harris: scott and charlie i'll see you soon.

most democrats denying the party wants to defund the police again. now one senator is outright saying it needs to happen only in certain places, where, why? and of course the coming backlash. plus growing calls to remove the head of homeland security as the border crisis just gets worse. >> anybody that blatantly lies to the american public and goes under oath to congress and lies what's going on on the border and refuses the take actions to slow down the massive crisis at the border definitely should be impeached. >> harris: the numbers are getting worse. now one border official says the white house is trying to convince americans that things at the border are just peachy. but if they can't do that they'll tell them it's the new normal. pete hegseth in "focus" next.

>> i was a federal prosecutor. you need to build a case, you need the facts and evidence before you indict. has he bender licked in his responsibility? i think so. we have a wide open border. all these people coming in. we don't know who they are. terrorist watch list. fentanyl coming in killing more people than ever before. they're complicit with the most human trafficking of a lifetime. >> harris: that was republican congressman michael mccaul from the great state of texas. brutal honesty for mayokas. he is echoing with gop leader kevin mccarthy said a few days ago calling on mayokas to resign

or face impeachment proceedings. border patrol council president judd says the biden administration is trying to trick americans. >> the white house continues to deflect and lie about what is currently going on. they are trying to set a new normal and trying to acclimate the public to what's going on at the border they're saying it is not crisis. they don't have to maybe changes if the american public isn't upset. what we're seeing on the border is nothing more than kious. >> harris: fox news reporting new numbers highlighting the spiraling crisis. more than 10,000 illegal crossings, nearly 6,000 known gotaways and six sex offenders arrested in the just the past week in the del rio sector alone. when i was down there it was 2,000 to 4,000 of those illegal crossings a day. look at that number. pete hegseth, "fox & friends" weekend co-host.

pete, first of all how can the white house sit by and watch rome burn at the border? >> if they want rome to burn and they don't care and part of their worldview that maintaining our sovereignty is something we used to do but not important anymore. maybe it was about voters or maybe it's about self-loathing. they've basically said our job is to facilitate a transfer of people from other countries into the united states. some of which turn themselves in but that tweet that you pointed out, 34,000 gotaways since october 1st. we have no idea who those people are. no idea why they wanted to come here and what their intentions are and that's just in one sector. this is an issue where house republicans should grab onto it and wrestle it all the way to the ground to include impeachment of mayokas if necessary. there are 20 border patrol

sectors. nine of them are on the southern border. i heard someone else suggest it and it's a great idea. all the border sector chiefs of the nine sectors on the southern border should be subpoenaed to testify in front of whatever house committee it is and asked, do you believe the southern border is secure? because right now they can't talk to the media. mayokas has put it out to cbp and ice saying don't talk. we only hear from decks as dps. put them on the record under oath. can you do your job? enli enlightening. professionals who want to do their job. the biden administration doesn't want them to. either you have a border or you don't. you either have a country or you don't. it's not political. the basic building blocks of a country. >> harris: we know our enemies

want to move on sehrt things. we don't know what china will do or when with taiwan but a distraction to send something across our southern border. >> they're doing it with drugs. they are poisoning our kids and youth intentionally. it is a facilitation of human and drug trafficking. they know it, joe biden never talks about it. kamala harris makes a joke of it by talking about root causes, mayokas doesn't address it and our kids are dying. >> harris: people in america, on november 8th, didn't hold them accountable en masse. the majority did not hold them accountable. >> right. >> harris: i'm wondering who sits well with what's going on down there. when you go down there, it's a blot against our soul to let people die in that river, yet they can't save everybody. and instead of setting up checkpoints that we can handle, people are going around the fences. it wouldn't matter what we set

up down there. the gotaways more than a million last fiscal year, they are fiercely serious coming to this country and getting away. we're calling them that word gotaways because that's the goal. >> the goal is to not be intercepted. these are illegals with unknown intentions, some of which have later found to be on terrorist watch lists. many of which carry and traffic drugs entering our country. donald trump wanted to build a wall and wanted them to stay in mexico. add min -- you are harming american citizens whose kids are overdosing. the media doesn't cover it. we do. every other network doesn't. most voters don't know the depth of the problem. >> connecticut senator chris

murphy threatening to fund for law enforcement to cut it. here he is speaking on the recent mass shootings in virginia and colorado. >> what we've learned in colorado is that the county in which the shooting happened is a so-called second amendment sanctuary state. i think the country will have to learn about what's going on in this country. the majority of counties in this country have declared that they are not going to enforce state and federal gun laws. i think we'll have to have a conversation about that in the united states senate. do we want to fund counties that refuse to implement state and federal gun laws? >> of course it's rich coming from the party that supports sanctuary cities for illegality, non-sitance and want to give them the right to vote. they would never comment or talk about the impact of that on

people's lives. chris murphy is one of these typical senators, thinks he is smarter than everybody. brand-new ideas. he wants to take on his political opponents, weaponize it. it's called the second amendment defend the ability of the right to bear arms. counties recognize that and support that. they also in those counties support law enforcement. unlike sanctuary cities where they attempted to defund and they turned into chaos. another bad idea from a poor intentioned democrat. it won't come to fruition and people's lives wouldn't be made better if it did. >> harris: do you think it's why it's also so important, the race going on in georgia right now, to keep the narrow just at 50-49 and not make it any worse than what it could be? democrats will be so squeaky thin. >> i think so. keep the lid on the lunacy.

they will still control the gavel but the lid on the lunacy. i don't like what joe manchin has done on a lot of levels but rather have him making the last call than chris murphy and liberals. >> harris: if they get back to 50/50 it will be what they had and manchin can't be happy with the fact that energy bill, that climate change bill called inflation reduction act that he signed didn't keep their promises to him in the democrat party. maybe that will make him have a second thought. >> big surprise. >> harris: thank you. pete and i were talking about this, the runoff race for georgia senate is on now. early voting over the weekend. turnout is rocking. looks like all the democratic cries of jim crow two were wrong. actress alisa milano virtue

signaling. she went after elon musk and her attempt at trolling backfired badly. raymond arroyo in "focus" next. what does it mean to veteran homeowners that newday is a leader in va loans? it means serving veterans is what we do. it means if you need cash, you get more at newday by borrowing up to 100% of your home's value, not just 80%. it means newday has been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own approvals. we can say yes to a veteran when other lenders say no. it means we come to work every day knowing we have the privilege of helping veterans make the most of their va home loan benefit. it means no bank, no lender-- no one knows veterans like newday usa.

>> it is the most pernicious thing. this makes jim crow looks like jim eagle. >> a remnant of jim crow. revivals, attempted revival of jim crow. >> jim crow, kkk-lark caucus. >> their strategy is to pass racist voting law, a new jim crow in the south. >> harris: remember all of that? they should be ashamed of themselves. as divided as our nation is to play the race card like that is a shame. the democratic hand wringing and pearl clutching after georgia passed its election integrity law. now with the senate runoff they're a week away, six days away. early voting is so fierce the turnout heavy, so far more than 181,000 people have voted, early voted since a georgia court

ordered the secretary of state to open precincts on saturday. charles watson to give us a quick peek in atlanta. charles. >> good morning, harris. the georgia secretary of state's office says it is seeing strong early voting numbers and that appears to be on par with what we're seeing out here at this polling location here in fulton county, a steady stream of folks going into vote. things have gotten so busy here we're starting to see a line form here behind us. you get the sense here on the ground that this race is still of great importance to folks here in georgia. the numbers just don't lie. according to the georgia secretary of state's office, more than 157,000 folks cast ballots on saturday and sunday alone. more than 1 1/2 times the turnout compared to the first weekend of early voting during the general election. that is a win for democrats who fought and won in court to have

it start on saturday after the georgia secretary of state's office said it was against state law. the decision made way for more than two dozen counties to open up polling sites this weekend. some locations lengthy lines formed creating waits for as long as two hours. votes wanted to vote for their convictions. >> the changes and i don't think that the administration right now is capable. >> i'm in favor of warnock and wanted to vote for him. herschel was a great football player but wouldn't make a good senator at all. >> meantime both incumbent democratic senator warnock and herschel walker are out trying to energize more voters as they question each other's character and ability to work for the people of georgia on the campaign trail and on tv. listen. >> character is what you do when nobody is watching.

>> warnock thought no one was watching when his ex wife called police to report his abuse. >> he is a great actor. >> [inaudible] >> it's expected to be a busy week here in georgia in the atlanta area. herschel walker expected to have a slate of events this week as well as raphael warnock who we're told by the campaign is expected to hold a massive rally with former president obama later this week as he tries to close out this campaign. >> harris: democrats want that seat. we'll see how much republicans want that seat. thank you. president biden is laying low in this race despite crediting his policies for helping democrats do better than expected in the mid-terms. one politics professor told "the washington examiner" quote republicans blame biden for

inflation, out of control immigration, rampant crime and high taxes that will crush georgia's middle class. according to gop ads warnock votes with biden 97% of the time. the last thing warnock wants is to be seen standing next to biden. that must be like a rash that people get. nobody wants to. raymond arroyo here, fox news contributor. you know what? he is not the head of the party. it's obama. >> that's why obama is showing up in georgia. look, georgia is the south. tone matters in the south. you can't be bringing joe biden in at 43% approval rating. they are feeling economic pinch in the surrounding areas. tone deafness. obama excites the crowd and look, warnock needs to turn out the black voters and obama is the only person in the party who can galvanize them.

>> harris: republicans, what do they need to do? >> they have a ground game. 8,000 volunteers going door-to-door. they need infusion and energy. i don't know if when the senate final tally showed up they thought it wasn't as important a race. it is an important race. it's important to have every vote you can. if georgia it is like inviting biden going down there would be like inviting kim kardashian to a lady's bible study. they need to keep biden off stage. i don't know if trump is going in or who. heavy hitters should be showing up for walker.

>> harris: what you're saying is the push with obama could make a difference. >> it might. >> harris: why do we want that seat so badly. >> you know why, sinema and manchin. they don't want to worry so much about them. if walker pulls it out they have to deal with manchin and sinema again. >> harris: he has to be angry right now. my fingers are tired of putting that in quotes but it is a lie, that title. critics brutally mocking liberal actress alisa milano. she attempted to troll and announced on the platform she was giving up her tesla and bought a vw electric vehicle to protest elon musk's purchase of twitter. she wrote i don't know how advertisers can buy space on twitter and products being pushed in line with hate and

white supremacy. critics pounced. one wrote volkswagen was founded by the nazis and hitler. another calling her so brave. endorsing one of the critics with some emoji. raymond. >> you know, she is suffering from what i like to call ideological dissidents when your virtual signaling starts to clash. she bought the tesla to be part of the green new deal and now unload it for twitter's free speech poll cismd i hope she found out her home builder voted republican. then she can donate her mansion. where did the tesla go? she got rid of the tesla. she brought it back to whom? to the dealership? who? >> harris: was it a trade-in for

the vw? >> thank goodness she didn't trade for a ford. he was a nazi sympathizer. >> harris: i thought you would say she could change her wokeness to study world history. >> she did the show who is the boss. elon musk is. >> harris: good to see you.
