8:00 am
right? he has a lot of fun. >> bill: you think his son appreciated that? >> dana: yes, it helped bring attention. his dad has a lot of rhythm. cowbell is not easy. i had a cowbell when i was a girl. i liked ringing it around the house. >> bill: bring it tomorrow. >> dana: i will. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: basketball star brittney griner is on her way home. the biden administration cut a deal for her release from a russian penal colony in exchange for an arms dealer so dangerous he is known as the merchant of death. the white house says russia would only do a one for one swap and president biden gave his final approval for that a few days ago. in return for brittney griner the u.s. is releasing viktor bout. we had tried to get him for years. in 2010 the united states took
8:01 am
the lead in operation relentless. this guy is dangerous. bout was serving a 25 year prison sentence in marion, illinois, in a place they nicknamed little -- military veteran paul whelan remains in a russian prison. a retired marine convicted on 2018 spying charges he says are false. the president spoke on brittney griner's release. the good news this morning. and said this about paul whelan. >> president biden: this was not a choice of which american to bring home. we brought home trevor reed when we had a chance earlier this year. sadly for totally illegitimate reason russia is treeding paul's case differently. haven't secured his release but we haven't given up and we will never give up. >> harris: paul whelan has a
8:02 am
special family. the biden administration made the right decision to bring multiple sclerosis griner home and make the deal that was possible instead of waiting for one that was not going to happen. government officials let us know in advance that paul would be left behind, unlike last april when they left him. it is clear the u.s. government needs to be more assertive. david whelan speaking on the release of any american is great news and hoping for a deal to get his brother, paul, back. >> it's the same thing we've been doing every day for the last 440 days. you know, we heard the news yesterday. i prepared my media statement to go out this morning and we were back to work checking russian media, looking for options to send to the u.s. government and suggestions. but really it's a matter of helping paul to survive until and if the u.s. government is able to find a concession that the russian government wants.
8:03 am
>> harris: mike waltz from the great state of florida and i will get into it moments away and a member of the house armed services committee and former green beret commander. can't wait to take on this. let's get more of the news from lucas tomlinson who is live at the white house. >> brittney griner is free and heading home. arriving in less than 24 hours after she was detained for nearly ten months in russia following a prisoner swap with a convicted russian arms dealer. president biden made the announcement alongside the vice president and griner's wife. >> president biden: she is safe, she is on a plane, she is on her way home. this is a day we worked for toward a long time. we never stopped pushing for her release. took painstaking and intense negotiations. >> 32-year-old griner, wnba star and two time olympic gold medalist was detained a few days before moscow's invasion of
8:04 am
ukraine. she said at the used cannabis to relieve pain and sentenced to a nine year sentence. in exchange for her freedom u.s. freed russian arms dealer viktor bout known as the merchant of death. convicted in a manhattan courtroom in 2011 for conspiracy to kill u.s. citizens in columbia for selling weapons from ak47 and service to air missiles. he was sentenced to 25 years. fox news heard rumblings last night on a tip about plain clothesed u.s. marshals moving him from a federal prison. how to get paul whelan home. they're asking on capitol hill what it will take to bring home paul whelan. >> harris: i will start there. lucas, thank you very much. republican congressman mike
8:05 am
waltz member of the house armed services committee and a former green beret commander. let's beginning right there. if this is what it takes to get brittney griner home. we're certainly glad that an american has come home and so frightening when they moved her to the penal colony recently. it is notorious across the planet. at the same time do we have anybody else in a one-on-one swap that would be equivalent to the type of person we just unleashed onto the world again in viktor bout to trade for paul whelan? >> look, i share your sentiment, harris, that in the short term i'm always pleased when we get an american home that is being unjustly held and i'm happy for the griner family. in the long term, appeasing terrorists, appeasing dictatorships never works. regimes like russia, north korea
8:06 am
and others we always cave and make a concession and we always win -- they always win and we lose. so my heart breaks for the whelan family. i think a lot of people are asking and rightly so, so what was his crime, not being a celebrity or not checking enough boxes for hollywood? the fact that we left a u.s. marine behind and made this choice. i don't buy the biden administration and president biden saying we didn't have a choice. when do we start dictating the choices to putin and the iranian regime and the taliban rather than letting them dictate what we do and who we give over? >> harris: the president mentioned that they had had someone else who they let free earlier this year and then you have this situation.
8:07 am
all of that that you have just said are the questions that people are asking. at the same time, even david whelan, paul's brother said we apparently don't have what they want. he ended with the united states needs to be more assertive. what does that mean exactly? they don't want who we have and we have to be more assertive. what do we do? >> we have to start im posing costs, harris. what president trump did was said you know what, north korea, you don't get to sit and talk to us as long as you are holding americans. you don't get to even engage with the united states as long as you are holding hostages. on top of that the taliban, we traded their top five draft picks out of for bowe bergdahl.
8:08 am
russia, iran, these states will continue doing this until we start imposing costs and until they go you know what? if we take another american, this isn't worth it for us. from sanctions, diplomatic isolation or even military action when it comes to some of these terrorist groups. it is only then, the bad guys are deterred by strength and cost. right now all they say is upside and they will keep taking americans hostage around the world as long as they get big trades like this. >> harris: when you say that, i know you have the experience of knowing when people have been taken, sometimes the american public doesn't realize they were taken and then you were able to get them out. that's some of what we saw in the after math of afghanistan. our people were in peril when we left and pulled out quickly and so many of our special forces who had retired were people among those who went in to try to get the americans out and were successful. there is a whole back drop to people in the world who want to
8:09 am
take americans. quickly viktor bout, he became notorious for his willingness to arm anybody. liberia, the taliban and got all the weapons when the soviet union fell in 1991. a vast quantity of soviet military hardware that he began alling. i can't imagine he doesn't go back to what he was doing. quick thoughts. >> exactly. what he was really doing is making billions of dollars for putin and his oligarchs that control the russian arms companies and guess what? they're desperate for ammunition and arms. they are scraping the bottom of the barrel from north korea to iran to around the world and viktor bout will be right in the middle of it for russia's war effort in ukraine. so biden just gave putin a huge, huge tool in the toolkit to fund and arm russia's war machine and
8:10 am
by the way paul whelan is still sitting there. russia will take another american when they want a concession. there is no downside, all upside. >> harris: we're thankful griner has come home. we pray whelan can sustain and his family can be in contact as much as they need to and keep in prayer for all of there where something comes about and we can bring him home he can sustain until then. appreciate you going on "focus." the white house is trying to avoid the twitter drama like the plague. ducking and dodging questions over the biden campaign telling executives about hunter biden's laptop story trying to keep it censored off of twitter and this. a tragic number of agent suicides among our border patrol at our southern border.
8:11 am
>> if you are overworked there is no doubt that impacts your life. at what level that's stuff to define. but there is no doubt that what is happening at the border is impacting our agents. >> harris: this has created a situation that puts even more danger at the border. the raging crisis taking a toll on the brave men and women who risk their lives to protect us. what if those people don't want to do that job? they a brave. now house republicans are taking action to protect them. here from "fox & friends" weekend will cain in "focus" next.
8:12 am

8:18 am
>> harris: the white house is working hard to downplay the drama of the now infamous twitter files. and reports more of those files are coming. you know twitter's new owner elon musk will not hold back on showing the world how the old twitter covered up for the president's son, hunter biden. so much evidence now that twitter suppressed news reporting on hunter's laptop that was hacked and spilling secrets. >> did anyone from the biden team communicate to twitter that this material was from -- this reporting was done from hacked material? >> you talking about the campaign? >> the campaign or anyone around the family. >> i am not going to comment on the question you're asking me. what i can say more broadly is of course it is up to these companies to make their own decisions about the content on
8:19 am
their platform. >> harris: top house republicans are taking this very seriously and plan to potentially take action, legal action once they take the majority this january. in fact, one judiciary spokesperson telling fox news simply stay tuned. reports also a person in top gop oversight member james comer's office says the committee is prepared to use any tool at its disposal to insure baker's cooperation in order to provide transparency to the american people. quickly james baker is the top lawyer that elon musk just fired after finding out about his actions in the cover-up and possibly a connection, allegations of collusion between twitter and the f.b.i., jim baker sitting at the center of all of that. he is out of twitter is what that statement was referring to. griff jenkins is live for us in washington, d.c. griff, each day the sort of answer back to all of this from
8:20 am
the white house gets quieter and quieter and quieter. >> oh, that hatch act. karine jean-pierre she can't talk about it. jim baker is at the center of it now. step back for a second. it has been a week since the initial dump of the twitter files and you have former ceo jack dorsey now calling on the current boss, musk, to make everything public. musk fired back yesterday saying this. most important data was hidden from you, too, and some may have been deleted. everything we find will be released. that comes after musk fired jim baker. he was the former f.b.i. lawyer who came to twitter as deputy counsel just before the 2020 election and who we now know this week was vetting his own internal communications and
8:21 am
holding up the release of the next batch of files before giving them to journalist matt taibbi and bari weiss. this as oversight committee chairman james comer sent a letter directly to baker and two other twitter employees to appear before a public hearing on capitol hill next week and answer questions over possible suppression of information. now committee member donalds had this to stay. >> well, you cannot save democracy if you have potentially agents of the government and media companies suppressing information. that is far worse than russia collusion. so we have to get down to the bottom of this for the sake of the entire republic. you cannot have people going in the back door suppressing information and suppressing free speech. >> as for the next dump of files we expect it to come from bari weiss. we don't have a date or timeline for when it may be coming. >> harris: i know you're on it.
8:22 am
we'll check back with you. thank you very much. the "new york post" miranda devine says it is absolutely no accident that fired lawyer james baker landed a job at twitter when he did. >> the fact that elon musk fired james baker, who was twitter's top lawyer and had been the top lawyer at the f.b.i. during the entire russia gate controversy and then he pops up at twitter five months before the election, it looks very much as if his role was to be the gate keeper for any information that might be detrimental to joe biden. >> harris: reportedly there are more twitter files coming. what will be in those? will cain, co-host of "fox & friends" weekend. will, you always drill things down to what's at stake. you heard representative byron donalds from florida talking about these bits of information are something that we as a
8:23 am
republic need to know. why? what's at stake? >> because you have to have an informed electorate to be able to make informed decisions. even more extreme than that, harris, you can't have a manipulated populous who minds are not able to see certain thoughts or words in order to make free and independent decisions. it is clear that the american public has been manipulated and clear our elections have been interfered with. the story doesn't end there. i can hold out hopes for twitter files 2 and 3 and what will be revealed. it wasn't just -- i don't mean to act like it is not enough of a scandal on its own. it wasn't just the hunter biden laptop scandal that was subject to censorship. we all know that when it comes to covid or potentially january 6th -- by the way, i heard that directly from elon
8:24 am
musk last saturday night. i got a chance to ask him on twitter spaces what other subjects inside of twitter were subject to the most government-induced censorship? he said will, i have to wait and see. i have to know more. i haven't personally poured over the file. there are a lot of questions around covid. your own personal health decisions were manipulated and january 6th. among others, harris. it is important to congressman donald's point because the bottom line is, have we been manipulated out of our own free thoughts? >> harris: quickly, something that you and i would talk about if you had hours of time but we found out a few days ago who also was working at twitter even though dr. fauci denying anybody who worked there and he was being deposed. the deposition is public. you can read it online. do you know who worked there? his daughter.
8:25 am
that's what we found out. >> yes. >> harris: there was a lot going on. we don't know. when you bring up covid and complicity on somebody's part too make sure that the public was only getting certain information, i do think it is at least interesting to be able to ask questions of dr. fauci at this point did you forget your child worked there and did you ever talk shop? so anyway, last quick thought about that and we'll move on. >> i'll say this. interesting at a minimum. congressman's donald's word important for the republic. this is back to the attorney james baker. a lot a made about where is the direct connection and smoking gun between the government and twitter? listen, people are convicted and murdered in this country every day on circumstantial evidence. so far what we know is amounts to a dead body, the censored story, a perp standing over it with an executed murder plan and
8:26 am
motive. the fact that we don't have the smoking gun but it doesn't under mine the case that the government was influencing twitter into censoring our thoughts. >> harris: the crisis at the southern border, children dying with whoever are bringing them across, drowning in the water. so much has happened. we don't even know the half of what's going on and the journey to get here and the border stings creating a magnet for people and outnumbering men and women trying to protect the sovereignty of this nation. now the mental health of those border patrol agents that try against impossible odds to protect us. that mental health is suffering. one expert's assessment says non-work issues were the top reasons for the uptick in agent suicides. house republicans outraged at that suggestion. >> suicides are very complicated
8:27 am
but the sheer fact there are 14 of them is a problem. i don't care how we got there. it shows there is a problem. >> the folks manning the southern border are bearing the brunt of our failed policies. law enforcement and customs and border there is a special need for mental health services by people who understand the work. and i think that's what has been missing. >> harris: the congressman that you saw gonzalez mentioned the numbers and they are, in fact, very grim. 14 agent suicides in 2022 so far. three just last month in november alone. will. >> highest numbers in 13 years. apparently since 2009 the highest numbers. you know, apparently the medical professional behind border patrol said who looked into this had nothing to do with work environment, yeah. let's think about this. i'm no psychiatrist, but one thing i've noticed and i spent
8:28 am
years in sports media before coming here to political media. i have become friends since being over here with a lot of former special operators in the united states military. one of the greatest causes and leading factors in depression and ultimately suicide from formerly high professional individuals is loss of purpose in life. when athletes are done, what do i do next? i don't know my purpose. same thing with former navy seals and green berets. what is my mission? a border patrol now, can you imagine showing up every day how do i win, what am i supposed to do and what is my job? mixed messages at every level. surrounded by chaos, how do i wake up with a sense of purpose and execute my mission. i can only imagine how chaotic and depressing that is to conduct that job at this moment. so i guess i find it again not as a professional psychiatrist but i find it sadly unsurprising
8:29 am
that you see these numbers like this on the rise. >> harris: you and i are observers and witnesses and in those roles that we play we also disseminate a lot of information. what you are describing, i know this from doing specials, prime time spercials of law enforcement. uptick of suicide rates feeling the challenges because they're outnumbered in many instances and across the country where they have been defunded and people have left the force either eliminated jobs or leaving because they can't live on 40% less of their salary. this is something that seems to be chronic and almost a one-on-one match with this particular administration. will cain, thank you very much. i appreciate you being in "focus." fox news alert now, the house just voted to approve legislation to protect same-sex marriages is syncing up with the senate. the bill goes to president
8:30 am
biden's desk for his signature before it becomes law. it requires individual states to recognize legal marriages in all states. among those who said yes the vote was 258 to 169 so far. you can see on the screen they are still counting. there is a small number, a very small number of republicans that they have calculated so far, added up so far that voted along with this. the majority house of democrats until january, you know that. let's move on. america's crime crisis raging across america and in new york city i was just talking about what cops are dealing with. brutal attacks on a daily basis are happening to citizens here. critics astounded over what the new governor hochul is considering to help out the felons. and democrats are still whining about georgia's voting laws even though 3.3 million people just voted in a runoff. they are digging on suppression
8:31 am
after a win for their candidate and record turnout. >> there was suppression. >> we aren't going to let the barriers stand in our way. >> the people have decided that your voices will not be silenced.

8:37 am
whelan family who have been very gracious and hold them in our thoughts and prayers always but especially today. and we will never relent until paul and for that matter every other u.s. national held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad is free and coming home and joining their families where they belong. now turning to our bilateral and tri lateral meetings today. it is a particular pleasure to have my friends here, foreign ministers. they are close colleagues. they themselves are -- >> harris: secretary of state blinken with a short statement off the beginning of his event that he is having right now about brittney griner coming home and a little explanation of why they didn't bring home the military veteran paul whelan. that will be a question for days to come. he is hitting as the president
8:38 am
and others in the white house no doubt will as well. let's move. >> the white house and the president were vocal about georgia's new election law when it was signed in march of 2021. the big argument from the white house was that it would suppress voting. but there was record turnout in the primary. >> you have reported that there was suppression, that we saw that throughout -- throughout the georgia election. >> despite the efforts of republican legislature to make it harder to vote, our people voted. people voted. people in georgia voted. >> just because they endured the rain and the cold and all kinds of tricks in order to vote, doesn't mean that voter suppression does not exist. >> harris: just to set the record straight the weather is not a human trick, okay? democrats still crying jim crow
8:39 am
2.0 despite their victory in the georgia senate run off saying the election laws aren't fair down there. 3.3 plus million people voted in a runoff and record early voting. liberal media following suit. >> the way that voter suppression has worked is it pushed democrats to really early votes and lean into souls to the polls and vote early. to lean into absentee which is destroyed by this law. >> you have to wonder if they simply had reasonable -- reasonable voting laws in georgia, by the way, reasonable operational hours, if they were open for a couple more hours, how much more would it have been? would warnock have won by 300,000? what did that voter suppression score turn out to be? >> harris: well, i don't know what numbers he is looking at. the real numbers tell a different story. georgia broke a mid-term election record for early voting. the "wall street journal"
8:40 am
editorial board declared jim crow 2.0 dies again in georgia. power panel now, matt gorman former communications director for the republican congressional committee and also a senior advisor for hillary clinton. matt, i will come to you on the issue. when you discourage people from voting and the reason why you discourage doesn't out to be factual hurts both parties. people don't know whether or not they can trust the system. in georgia, it didn't matter at all. >> no. they have to stick to their script. they have been saying for two years it was jim crow 2.0 much like how stacey abrams has to say she was elected governor in 2018. they deny reality and pretend what we're all seeing in front of us, primary turnout doubles and a record turnout in the general actually isn't happening . don't forget they also send their twitter mobs back when the law was passed against delta, mlb, move the
8:41 am
all-star game. these companies acquiesced because of these democratic arguments which are totally proven false and now dick re chicken little has become the boy who cried wolf. >> harris: what is the true concern about democrats, that you didn't get 300,000 more votes? you would have to prove that. what we can prove is the numbers were record breaking. >> they were. it's worth celebrating. i'm thrilled to be here on fox news celebrating voting turnout at such high levels. a wonderful thing for democracy and worth celebrating and noting. it is a great moment. what you said at the intro. when you say to voters there are problems that aren't really true it creates a huge barrier. for two years we heard donald trump and republicans trash vote by mail. charlie kirk was on the show saying we've let voters feel it was not secure and they didn't
8:42 am
show up. donald trump was talking about the long lines. i want to be clear, whether you are a democrat or republican, if you are an american it should be easy to vote, convenient to vote and secure to vote and we should make sure the system reflects that value in every election regardless of party or political belief. >> harris: i have only known you for a few seconds. you might be an independent. i do want to say this, though. out of all of the runoffs and how tight that race was, to have an electorate that is this engaged, this is really impressive. we want that to continue to happen. no matter who it is that's spouting stuff that isn't true, dan, you are right. it does not serve the voting public. i go back to you, matt, to put a quick button on it. >> it's entirely true. in the era since 2018 we're in high turnout election. youngkin in virginia, republicans won.
8:43 am
democrats had a better than expected night in 2022. high turnout is the way of the row and both parties need to adjust to that. >> harris: you had a sliver of silver lining in there that democrats and republicans can work together. look at that. moving on. critics with some major mockery for actress jennifer lawrence. her absurd self-important and utterly false claim. plus the house ethics committee is looking into what could be call a liberal darling, aoc. >> she is the girl flies who takes the strain and uber instead of the subway. $30,000. you have to make $50,000 before taxes to afford the ticket. yet she is for the little guy. >> harris: she is a woman. put that aside. it may all come down to that event where she showed off her super woke gown. it is in a price index of its
8:44 am
own. jimmy failla not woke, generally doesn't wear gowns. he is in "focus", though.
8:45 am
8:46 am
8:47 am
8:48 am
8:49 am
>> harris: it's like one of those shows where the celebrity gets roasted. that's what's happening to jennifer lawrence after she made an absurd comment. in a recent interview with variety she made the self-a groan diesing lead. >> i remember when i was doing "hunger games." nobody had every put a woman in the lead of an action woman because it wouldn't work. girls and boys can identify with a male lead but boys can't identify with a female lead and it makes me so happy every time i see a movie come out that just blows through every single one of those beliefs. >> harris: the outlet highlighted the claim in a tweet but a new op-ed points out her woke complaining was so false variety had to delete it.
8:50 am
oh my goodness. one critic posting i'm sorry, what? another says how is it possible to be this wrong? now jennifer lawrence is getting a crash course in female leads. weaver and angelina jolie. jimmy failla. >> the reason she is catching is such blowback. this would be like saying you were the first guy who smoked weed in a reggae band. hello, we've seen other evidence to the contrary. you might be up to speed on this. a lot of our audience might not. hollywood actors are dumb. they're dumb. famous because they hit the genetic lottery and born so good looking that we're willing to pay $20 for a popcorn to watch them recite words written by an ugly person. i'm usually the guy in the
8:51 am
writer's room. i'm taking shots at me, not them. whenever they speak out about something like this they are usually highlighting ignorance. as we can point to, okay, there was weaver in the 80s, aliens was the big one. to speak to how self-absorbed hollywood actresses are. angelina, jolie and kill bill. it would be one thing if she didn't know there was a run in the 80s and 90s. there were 20 movies around her in the era she seems to have forgotten. stupid. >> harris: you and i were talking off camera. what is it about hollywood feeling like it has to martyr itself in order for real people to think they're real people? >> they celebrate trauma in hollywood. they think by showcasing a vulnerability that makes them more human, it makes them more in tune with the struggle. the reason they want to appear in tune with the struggle is
8:52 am
