the light. >> thank you very much. >> bill: i didn't quite catch the question but the answer was see the light. >> dana: the answer is usually the same. if i can get republicans to go along with me. it seems to be the ones. great to be here at the reagan library. >> bill: here is to a great weekend. >> dana: to the usa early in the morning. harris faulkner, here she is. >> harris: we begin with breaking news. the u.s. border patrol is out numbered by the newest wave of people crossing into america who have no intention of doing so legally. the new numbers of illegals evading capture are staggering. you are in "the faulkner focus." these are not the people who were coming in and being processed. the numbers now of those versus these are growing closer together. it means more and more people know that they can go around the law enforcement and border patrol. they can go around our

sovereignty. in november alone, 73,000 known gotaways is what they are called. that's when border patrol sees these illegal immigrants on detection cameras and through other sensors but because the agents are so overwhelmed the criminals escape. when you evade our law enforcement to breach our border you are committing a crime. 73,000 for the month of november would be some 2400 per day. compared with other fiscal years, the last one ended on september 30th, so it hasn't been that long, we're already on track to blow previous totals out of the water in 2023. add to all of that this reality. the deadline for ending title 42 is december 21st.

that would have continued legally forcing people to wait south of the border in mexico for processing. border crossings already astronomically high and the end of title 42, that covid policy that used to send these illegals back, will increase that number exponentially. border state lawmakers are scratching their heads. they're fed up. it is a lot. >> that's because we know they got away. they know we couldn't catch them. there is plenty more we don't know about at all. it is infuriating. you have had 3 or 4 million people illegal encounters with border patrol since biden took office. the numbers are becoming too much to handle and too astounding for people to wrap their heads around. >> harris: republican senator lindsey graham. ranking member of the budget committee and senior correspondent casey stiegel live

at the border in eagle pass, texas. casey, you will get us started. >> good morning. cpb's new fiscal year you were talking about did just begin on october 1st. agents tell fox that in that time, there have been at least 137 of what you were just talking about. the known got aways, again 73,000 of them in november alone for context, cbp recorded 600,000 of them for all of last fiscal year. again, migrants, border patrol know illegally enter the country but escape. meantime, this was the scene this morning here in eagle pass. yet another large group. this one more than 250 people, mainly from cuba and from the dominican republic. you throw in the numbers that we know about, the known apprehensions and everything is through the roof. november's official tally has not been released -- but

october yielded a 40% increase from the previous october and 220% increase from two years ago. >> i continue to say you defend the border and you save lives. you have a safe -- you control the border and secure the border and you will actually save lives not just of americans but the migrants themselves. >> meantime you have to talk about this. the record amounts of fentanyl. the deadly drug continues to be smuggled into the homeland. 96% officials say through mexico contributing to skyrocketing number of deaths across the country. researchers at the university of houston working on a fentanyl vaccine. a series of three shots that causes you to produce fentanyl antibodies which prevent the drug from entering a person's brain, in turn taking away the euphoric high and all of the

life-threatening side effects. they hope to begin human trials on that vaccine in a couple of months. harris. >> harris: casey stiegel. thank you very much. the crisis at the southern border from casey's reporting, you know, we'll add this to it. it is taking a different kind of toll. our men and women who protect our nation's sovereignty are challenged, we know that. so much against them. so much to deal with. now we're learning some of them are really hurting. three border patrol agents committed suicide in november. that same month we saw the onslaught of people who just evaded every means to catch them. 14 have committed suicide in total in 2022. house republicans have introduced a bill to provide more mental health resources for the department. they are proposing nearly $140 million over six years to tackle the issue. republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina ranking member of the budget committee,

also a member of the judiciary and appropriations committees is in "focus" now. senator, welcome. this situation now is starting to mirror what we know happens when there is pressure on our police departments. when there is pressure on our military. your thoughts. >> well, if you are a border patrol agent you feel abandoned by the biden administration. i've been to the border many times. i don't know how they go home at night and get up the next day. they are seeing human trafficking at a level i have never seen. they are overwhelmed with illegal immigrants coming in. people on the terrorist watch list are going through. to be a border patrol agent under biden is one of the most miserable experiences i can imagine. to be in charge of protecting america and administration you work for won't give you the tools to do your job is very bad for morale. so it's just a matter of time until somebody comes across that border that kills a bunch of americans because they are a

terrorist. the number of americans dying from fentanyl poisoning is at an all-time high. biden has surrendered the border. those in charge of protecting us at the border feel completely abandoned and i hope our house republicans will start hearings and will put on the table impeaching people responsible for this. >> harris: i tell you, those are some heart shaking words that you just spoke, biden has surrendered the border. what will we see in next steps in terms of the damage that this can cause? >> you will see an increased number of illegal drugs coming in, particularly fentanyl that will kill more americans. pressure on border communities where they -- the community collapses under the weight. it is just a matter of time that terrorists that are rising in afghanistan and syria will make their way through the border to attack us. their desire to attack us hasn't stopped. we basically have a welcome mat

at the border for terrorists if they want to come into the country. there is no corrective action. the asylum system is broken. the gotaways for every gotaway there are 3 or 4 people coming to say here i am, capture me. and that's the problem. if you get one foot in america, you are likely never going to leave under our asylum program. they undid everything that trump did. the biden administration took all the border security measures of the trump administration and changed them overnight. if you do away with title 42 authority which will happen in a few weeks, it is throwing gasoline on a fire. >> harris: you said a welcome mat. gotaways aren't interested in being welcome. having been down there a few weeks ago i was standing in one of the places they come through. we don't have enough people to catch them even if we wanted to. we see them coming in. those are the ones willing to be caught on camera. they are wearing camouflage and

coming mostly at night. it is unreal. i want to move to this. it is the final sprint in the high-stakes georgia senate runoff. more than 1 million voters there have already early voted in the runoff. new polling shows a squeaker of a race right now. democrat senator warnock with a slight edge over football icon herschel walker, 51-47 percent at this point. warnock turning to barack obama, you see there. and with the democrat in atlanta last night, there are many more who are expected to come. obama took this jab at herschel walker. >> i believe in my soul that georgia knows that georgia is better than herschel walker. when again and again you serve up balled face lies. just make stuff up, that says something about the kind of person you are. and the kind of leader you would

be if you were in the united states senate. >> harris: your reaction? >> herschel walker is going to win this race. i just got briefed by the campaign on their latest poll. you will have about 72% of the people that voted in the general election will vote in the runoff. there will be a 28% drop. so i like herschel's chances. this race is tight. they spent 170 million trying to destroy herschel walker and the race is tied. i think the wind is as herschel's back. warnock has been with biden 96% of the time. if you are looking for a new senator from georgia to act differently in washington, then you better elect walker, not warnock. 96% of the time he has been with biden. he has surrendered our border, biden has and warnock has done nothing to take it back. he voted for every high tax bill there is. the amount of money coming

against herschel walker is the most in the history of the united states senate. they are trying to destroy him. go to team herschel.com. we are in 72-hour mode here trying to turn out the voter. they are spending $17 more million in super pacs and ground game. help us. here is the bottom line. we're three days away and herschel is still tied and i think he is going to win. >> harris: that's a lot of resource and a lot going on on the left side of the aisle and they still are within a tie. you mentioned being on the ground. i know we've seen you. you have been with herschel walker. i don't know if you -- >> i've about moved to georgia. >> harris: it's a beautiful state. i was born there. the bitter race is focusing on character and that same survey shows what voters over 50 really

care about, inflation and looming threats to democracy. walker has a major edge in that older demographic and i want to get to this. there are some inequality in the press coverage. a recent analysis by a conservative media watchdog found broadcast network gave herschel walker 88% negative coverage compared with 71% positive coverage for warnock. are you seeing some of that when you take temporary residency there trying to help him out, senator? >> number one, you can't turn on the television without seeing five ads for warnock to one of herschel. the bottom line they are trying to destroy herschel walker as a person because he is an african conservative. played professional football. on the olympic bobsled team. he has created thousands of jobs in georgia. he is an entrepreneur and

danced for the new york ballet. he will inspire people all over the country to come to the republican conservative cause if he gets elected. that's why they're trying to destroy him. they know they are losing ground to herschel. he can win this race. let's close the gap, go to team herschel.com. if you want people on the conservative side to look more like america when people like herschel come along we need to help them. go to team herschel.com. the reason they're trying to go down the character road, the policy road doesn't work. georgia has a 59% disapproval rating of joe biden. the warnock campaign asked joe biden to help. they want him to go to massachusetts to help warnock in georgia. i want him to come to georgia to help warnock. walker wants biden in georgia. warnock wants him in massachusetts. warnock is the third senator

from massachusetts. >> harris: you can't make that up. when the president was wrapping up his signing just moments ago to end the -- to thwart the rail strike people were shouting questions from the media and he decided to answer one of them. are you going to georgia to help herschel walker? did you hear what he said? yeah, well no, i'm going to massachusetts to help herschel walker. i thought but herschel walker is in georgia. who wants to tell him. he knows. you just said why. >> because he is aligned with the voting records of massachusetts, not georgia. the bottom line here is the reason they are sending biden to massachusetts that's where all the liberal money is at. we're being outspent team 3 to 1. i find it odd the leader of the democratic party is being asked to go to massachusetts to win a race in georgia. because if biden came to georgia, it would be pretty obvious to people in georgia that they don't want biden here because they don't like what he

is doing as president. and warnock has been with biden 96% of the time. that's why he is in massachusetts and not georgia. >> harris: i misspoke. he will help warnock from massachusetts some kind of way. >> from massachusetts. >> harris: it is a beautiful state. it doesn't actually have the georgia senate runoff going on in massachusetts. the president wanting to help warnock from a distance. a lot of democrats felt that way during the mid-terms. thank you very much. appreciate you being in "focus." >> thanks simp. >> harris: the president rolling back sanctions on venezuela brutal dictator so the united states can get more oil, foreign oil. the reason could all come down to wait for it, the 2024 election. the president now says he is on the fence about. we get a different answer every time we ask. the president served up some hot buttered hypocrisy at last night

state's dinner. >> we have some maine lobster. >> harris: living like a king with lobster. lobster fishermen are struggling under the white house's hostility. steve hilton in focus. sorry, steve, no lobster today. ♪ veteran homeowners: gas, groceries, everything's costing more. if you need cash, call newday. you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value. veterans get more at newday usa.

>> harris: the biden administration has spent this week trying to defend its decision to back sanctions on venezuela's dictator to allow chevron to drill for oil there. they want to wipe away those

sanctions and let him do what he wants. let's consider who he is. maduro is not at all interested in human rights. relying on foreign countries for energy rather than tapping the resources here in the united states is what is happening. here is charles payne in "focus" yesterday. >> we send these chevron engineers down there and they start to retool these oil rigs and bring fresh technology down there. we are helping them immensely, immensely. not about the amount of oil they get out. it's about the know how they have lost in the last two decades because they didn't have our experts running the show. why aren't with doing this in texas and north dakota? >> harris: why aren't we. two blistering op-eds today. why is joe biden codling nicolas maduro? the answer appears to be that the united states still has an election scheduled in 2024.

biden needs oil to start flowing again but his administration is so owned by environmentalists he would rather empower a brutal dictator than do his job. steve hilton. host of the next revolution. i would take an energy revolution to sustain ourselves which we know we can do. >> everything about this is so infuriating. let's go through it one-by-one. the last point you made there saying it is true the environmentalists try to parade their climate credentials. this isn't even a win for the environment. what will end up happening is more oil produced in a way that's more harmful to the environment than if we produced it here in america. even in california where i am. massive reserves of oil and gas and then you have to get it here. the transportation adds to

emissions. the whole thing even in its own terms ridiculous. you look at the total hype october see going on here. they lecture us on democracy. stand up for democracy and the rule of law lecturing us. what are they doing with this? saving a dictator oppressing his own people. >> harris: you can't make it up. >> like they're doing in china. it is despicable. what it finally means is a massive punch in the face to every worker in the american energy industry. every community that depends on those workers. it is such a despicable insult from the very people that endlessly tell us they are pro-worker. >> harris: talk about creating more supply chain issues. we don't even talk about that because president biden has said that we as americans don't understand what a supply chain is. you remember that lecture we got two weeks ago? >> he certainly doesn't.

>> harris: ouch. doing the right thing was one of the things that didn't have butter on it and not on the menu last night at the president's state dinner for french president macron. the main dish, maine lobsters, about 200 of them poached in butter and served in caviar. critics calling out the president. when he took office he vowed to protect the livelihoods of lobster fishermen but he has done the opposite. if the president has time to prioritize a lobster dinner he should make time to meet with the workers. environmentalists cree iting a hardship for the lobster industry about protecting the right whale. this fisherman says it's a mute

issue. >> the only way we can legally harvest lobster is a trap and pot and do it in a sustainable manner and have been for generations at this point in time. over the last 20 years our industry has worked extremely hard to protect this endangered species and done it effectively. >> harris: steve. >> this again illustrate so much that's wrong with these people. virtue signaling. it is ideology signaling is what they're doing here. we're so concerned about the environment. we all are but you need a balance. as that person mentioned you can do it in a sustainable way. that's part of the protecting the environment. these people don't understand the life and the eco systems and the way of life of small businesses like this. the very people that often

protect the environment because they know they depend on it. it comes in a second point this illustrates. the elitism. they are constantly doing these things that end up working blue collar workers and working people. in the energy energy and now the agriculture industry. here in california for example with our farmers, they are attacking them for stealing our water. stealing our water. what do you think they are doing with that water? growing food that we need to eat. this attack on these very people in all these industries across the country that keep us going is so awful to see. >> harris: we're in the way, you know? this summer when it got hot and told people you spent your hard earned money on the electric vehicles but you can't plug them in because we have grid issues. now they are low on water. what do they want people to do, not drink water or not want to eat the vegetables and fruits the farmers are growing? how do they think if it doesn't fall from the sky it has to come from the earth.

you have to water the plants to have the food. so what they are looking for is an electorate that doesn't need to go anywhere or doesn't need to eat or drink anything when they get there. your last thought. >> it's crazy and exactly right. the thing it illustrates these people is all about ideology. they have completely lost touch with common sense, the practical impact of their policies on real people and real communities and it is just unbelievable. you see it in every single area. they are totally out of touch. totally ideological. >> harris: all in the name of trying to help us. that help sure does hurt. thank you very much. another legal blow to president biden's student loan hand-out. you had to think he knew this thing was like puff, right? this had to have been some sort of election gimmick. it is not held together in any shape or form and he is surrounded by lawyers.

$4 hundred million giveaway is what it was going to be. it could be a ticking political time bomb for him. the president taking a victory lap for avoiding the rail strike. there are critics on both sides of the political aisle on this one. >> the democrat party sides for the union bosses in a situation that really should be determined and settled between the employees and employer, not by the federal government or congress. >> harris: what workers did not get out of the deal and what some say the president needs to do now for families. steve forbes on the mezzanine in "focus" next. hi, i'm william devane.

>> harris: the hits keep coming to the president's student loan hand-out plan. was it a plan, really? the court says it won't hear arguments on the case until february. for now the program will remain blocked to anybody who was counting on it. you aren't getting help. the high court likely won't make a decision whether the bail-out is constitutional until the summer. the wait gets longer. >> i do not think the president has the authority to cancel this debt. it could be up to $930 billion. it won't be canceled, it will be transferred. it is a horrible policy for joe biden to sit there and tell young people they don't have to follow through with their commitments and responsibilities. >> harris: he doesn't have that power. it is horrible to break your promises. peter doocy with the latest.

>> a few weeks before the mid-terms president biden suggested they would have gone out by now. >> a judge has halted your plan to relieve debt for millions of americans that are struggling with student loans. what is your response to that? >> president biden: we'll win that case. in the next two weeks you'll see the checks going out. >> they say they welcome the supreme court decision to hear the case for the borrowers this february. this program is necessary to help over 40 million eligible americans struggling under the burden of student loan debt recover from the pandemic and move forward with their lives. the program is legal supported by careful analysis from administration lawyers. but the judges just are not so sure and why the pause on payments is going through june now even though president biden said it wouldn't happen, either. >> president biden: student loan payment pause is going to end. it is going to end december --

i'm extending it to december 31, 2022, and it is going to end at that time. it is time for the payments to resume. >> president biden celebrated a better than expected jobs report and now he is helping warnock win in georgia with a meeting in massachusetts. >> harris: we were talking about the geographical difficulties of helping out the democrat in georgia from boston but we'll see what they can do. good to see you, thank you. the november jobs report beating expectations with 263,000 jobs added and unemployment holding at 3.7%. you heard the president talking about it. peter talking about it then. economists predicted job growth would slow down and slow down inflation. powell said the fed would make

smaller interest rate hikes than we've seen the past few months but now that could change. meanwhile treasury secretary janet yellen blames inflation on not big spending, american consumers. she says we, the people, spent too much because the biden administration did such a great job on covid. >> when president biden was elected. he put policies in place, turned out the pandemic had very special impacts on the economy. remember everybody stopped spending. they suddenly started splurging on goods and bottlenecks started developing. >> harris: they didn't try to solve any of the supply chain crisis nightmare. no mention of the 4 trillion in government spending since biden took office. steve forbes, i want your top line thoughts on all of it. >> this administration is in trouble. the economy is going if trouble.

the federal reserve may not raise interests raise them as much as they indicated. they only know how to fight inflation by making people poorer. the way you do it is stabilize the value of the dollar. it's what ronald reagan did. they believe you have to crush people and higher unemployment to bring prices down because people can't buy anything. >> the inflation reduction act is about climate reduction only. those are the facts. what do republicans need to do. they will have majority in the house come january. we don't know how it will break out in georgia. democrats will still have a squeaky edge. they already do and it's one seat. what can be done on the hill that republicans can try to accomplish for the people? >> first thing on that jobs report if you look at the household survey, which better indicates what small businesses are doing, it was down 138,000

jobs. gets no publicity and it was down the month before. that indicates trouble ahead. where republicans should start off right off the bat is removing the federal ban on developing oil and gas on federal lands. start with that. we need more production. bring up what's happening in venezuela and start with that. then go to the i.r.s. agents, go to the border and then put out, which we know will go know where but sets the stage for 2024, a nice big tax cut. help the many a can people get this country back on track. >> harris: you have given this a lot of thought. that right there i wrote that down. that's a plan you have going on. the 138,000 jobs that nobody is talking about in the sector that nobody is talking about. >> it was right in the press release. you can find the table. >> harris: they aren't going to read it out loud to us. an hour ago we were watching

that president biden took a victory lap signing the legislation to avert a nationwide railroad strike and it could have cost our economy some $2 billion per day had that happened. critics on both sides of the political aisle, though, don't like the deal. and i repeat they gave it just one day, one day of paid sick leave for rail workers. the president today patted himself on the back with both hands. can you do that? >> president biden: thanks to the bill congress passed and what i'm about to sign we've spared the country that catastrophe and insured workers will get a 24% wage increase over the next five years, improve working conditions, and peace of mind around their healthcare. i know this bill doesn't have paid sick leave but these rail workers and every worker in america deserves. that fight isn't over. >> harris: the "wall street journal" editorial board writes joe biden picks the economy over unions. why not do the same for families? the consequences of a railroad

strike were damaging enough to break through ideology. if biden wants to help his approval rating the same principle applies every where. >> let's start with education. how about giving parents a choice of schools for their kids instead of con siege re signing them to fools failing the kids and country. arizona education savings account you can send your child to any school that fits the needs of your child. the school may not be right for a particular point in that child's life. give choice to parents on education. >> harris: can i get back to an origin point with the railroad strike, though? you saw the reporting earlier in this hour that it was a promise on the campaign. he had to make congress work this out. why? was he capitulateing to the unions? >> the unions have been negotiating with the railroads for almost 2 1/2, 3 years. there is legislation passed in

the 1940s where if you have a railroad strike you go back to the 1920s. they can have an 80-day cooling off forward negotiate something. there is previous legislation to deal with this. he wanted a settlement before the election. he didn't want any threat of a strike to show the economy would get worse. so he thought he delivered to the unions and eight out of the 12 unions approved the deal. four didn't. now he finds himself okay, what do i do now? the unions rejected it. he passed it through and said i promise i'll give you more sick days sometime down the road. yes, of course. >> harris: that 80-day cooling off period would have been amazing. that's why they put it in there. then you don't have to scare the american people to vote for you or make hollow promises. >> the mechanism is already there. >> harris: i only ran for high school president and didn't win.

>> go for the big one. >> harris: good to see you. california governor newsom spearheading the nation's largest-ever effort to address reparations for slavery. wait until you hear the task force cost estimate. what they are spending to do this. a new poll shows a majority of voters aren't real happy about president biden running for re-election in 2024. a hefty percentage of them are democrats. power panel next.

>> harris: a lot of people who participated in a new poll of voters do not want president biden to seek a second term. 67% say don't do it, joe. more than half of democrats say they don't want president biden to run again. more than half of democrats say they don't want joe biden to run again. here is a big part of biden's problem. over 45% approve of his handling of the economy, 55% disapprove. president biden said he intends to wrong. but watch him cast doubt on that during a speech this week.

>> harris: for more years and he said i don't know about that. power panel now. fox news political analyst is with us today. former democrat new york state senator david car lucci here. david, you first. i've hitched it from democrats. tell them you'll run. it is a good idea. look what the voters are saying. maybe not a good idea if you tell them joe biden will run again. what happened? >> you have to have someone to beat someone and i think if joe biden runs, he wins. he has proven to be a steady hand -- >> harris: you think people don't want him to win? >> i think he runs and he wins and i think there is -- we're two years out or about, a year and a half but i think people want someone in the middle. joe biden has told the left and the right in a most polite way to go jump in a lake and

fighting for the middle majority. >> harris: he didn't tell the whole party that. he told it to two people who wouldn't vote yes on his big spending. >> he is a politician that can get things done and a diplomat when america is craving that. >> harris: there is no way he didn't know the student loan thing would pass muster. no way he didn't know. now he is saying to the rail workers i couldn't get you that leave as part of the strike deal and you have one day of it. i'll get you more later. i guess you could call is shrewd. >> i agree he has not only lied about that but leaving americans behind in afghanistan, lied about covid saying it was over when you got his own health department saying you need five shots, five covid shots. it is insanity. democrats don't want him.

independents don't want him. at this point if there was to be a republican challenged by ron desantis. he would win. he is one the american people talk about republicans and independents will want to see elected. he has kept a steady focus on many issues here in florida and i personally would like to see him run and win. >> harris: interesting you bring that up. i want to come back to david on this and we'll talk about that point, david. a new marquette poll shows a tie in a hypothetical 2024 match-up between biden and desantis. what do you make of it? you could see if it was somebody who put their hat in the ring before. for all the reasons that he said what do you make of this? >> i think biden is favored because he has tried, tested and proofing results. ron desantis has a long haul ahead of him. he has donald trump in his way and we've seen how nasty trump

can be to his opponents and donald trump has said he will take the gloves off and grapple with ron desantis. that will be a real problem for the republican party. sure, the democrats have issues but we can put our focus behind joe biden and i think he can get the job done. he has proven on the rail strike. it is not perfect but gotten something done. >> harris: they could have done an 80 day cooling off period and a mute point and voters wouldn't have been manipulated into thinking it would crash down. california governor newsom has been leading what is reportedly the nation's largest effort to address reparations for slavery. here is how much it could cost. the nine-member task force he formed in 2020 says 2.5 million black californians are owed more than $223,000 apiece. the money is meant to make up for housing discrimination practices from 1933 to 1977. it comes to an estimated $569

billion with a b dollars. it could grow when the task force hands it final report in next year. >> i don't know of california having that kind of money. two, i do believe that newsom is interested in running for president. i think this would be him building a coalition of black voters. unfortunately on black pain when it comes to racism, segregation and many other issues that african-americans have face historically. i don't think he will be able to pay it out. we've seen the studies time and time again with democrats and it never amounts to anything but dredging up the past and black folks continue to pay the price when it comes to democrats. >> harris: is that buying black votes? >> no, i don't think so. this is addressing the real hard issues that we have to deal with today. this is something where they put a professional task force together to address some of the issues that have with racial

wealth gap that exists. >> harris: what if they can't pay it. what happens? >> i think it's about these are projections and ideas and it could be a multitude of ideas, a direct payment for other types of programs that can really help. >> harris: pay on credit for reparations? >> to make sure we address some of the real issues that have been polarizing. >> harris: please come back. thank you both.
