not to. so not even a month into 2023 and i redeemed myself a little bit. last year i didn't get any of my predictions right. >> bill: do i get half a point for saying i agree? >> dana: my second one was the bengals will win the super bowl. i still believe. i still believe. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: let's beginning with a fox news you a loretta and movement now. the white house responding to harsh criticism of president biden after his inaugural visit to the southern border two years into his presidency, two years into the disaster there. texas governor greg abbott hand delivered some facts to him in a letter. you see it there just before the two men shook hands on the tarmac. abbott not mincing world calling the president's border policy failures. in his first interview since that meeting governor greg abbott is in "focus."

i'm harris faulkner. the commander-in-chief spent just three hours on the ground in el paso, texas, number one place where people are entering the nation illegally. in the first 100 days of the new fiscal year 2023, more than 718,000 illegals have come. nearly 200,000 of them have been expelled under title 42. that argument alone for keeping it in place as long as we can until they figure something out. let's do the math. more than a half million illegal immigrants released into the country in just those 100 days. with little to no action. some now tagging the president's visit as an appearance for appearance's sake. >> the president didn't come away, at least publicly, with any sense of outrage that the circumstances here needs to be

-- receive his significant attention. his administration's effort. >> a partisan trip made as a photo op. it took the president 80 years to get to the border, another 80 years before he comes back. >> harris: want to see fake news take a look at the authenticity or lack there of on the trip. pictures that show the situation on the ground earlier last week compared to right before the president arrived. left a hot mess sandwich and people living in el paso have been seeing. i guess that's what happens when the president comes to down and you are a democratic mayor and you want it to look pretty. a "new york post" editorial headline. cynical el paso cleanup before biden's visit perfectly sums up the pathetic border policy. growing claims. president biden saw nothing more than a sanitized border. >> president biden: how many folks do you have coming through? >> it varies week-to-week and

day-to-day. >> president biden: how many people do you have coming through? i'm trying to get a sense of the flow. the average. >> on average 300 to 400. >> harris: the president pressured him. the man told him 1,000 people a day and then the president did a reask and cleared his throat and i don't know, is that the kind of pressure it takes to get somebody to change their number? it seems like a sugar coating given we're hearing from border patrol the actual numbers. in the el paso sector alone 168,000 people just this fiscal year, only 100 days old. up more than 200% from just last year when we saw record breaking numbers. we mentioned texas governor greg abbott in "focus." let's go to jacque heinrich live in mexico city where the president is set to meet with other northern american leaders

later today. >> the big question of this summit is what new deliverables and policy can they roll out? president biden announced last week a new border parole poll syracuse immigration policy that would increase pathways for legal immigration to venezuelans, nicaraguans, people from cuba and haiti. and consequences for those migrants if they cross illegally. but critics say it does not address the issue of cartels. >> i think we need to put military options and cyber options on the table to really target. otherwise we'll continue to admire the problem. not only the fentanyl that these mexican cartels are smuggling but every single human being coming across that border as well. >> so far this fiscal year u.s. authorities seized nearly 5,000 pounds of deadly fentanyl. biden saw some in el paso yesterday. to put it in perspective two

pounds of fentanyl could kill more than half a million people. last year more than 14,000 pounds came across the u.s. border. it killed more americans last year than anything else. mexican authorities arrested el chapo's son. that arrest has been described as a gift to biden and a subtle message from the mexican president his hugs not bullets strategy has a reason behind it. since the arrest cartels declared war on the mexican government and demanded guzman's release killing more than 30 people and forced down two military planes and shot at a civilian aircraft. mayokas said it was too soon to talk about the timing of the arrest with the summit. activists think the new policy isn't good. >> migrants who reach the border

in between the ports of entry on the vast majority, if not more than that, are using smuggling organizations to get there. and the average cost is $6 thousand. so it is not a wealth test. >> administration's critics see that as an admission. >> i thought mayokas said the border was secure. apparently he knows the cartels are pushing people across at $6 thousand or more per head. i guess mayokas doesn't know what he is talking about or he has been lying to us all this time. >> the situation has been so bad since guzman's arrest members of congress in the states are saying this is proof we have to send military resources to help mexico crack down on the cartels because they are a parra military operations with machine guns and armored vehicles and

billions of dollars in resources from their smuggling operations. >> harris: i took notes on the last part in particular because the texas governor wants them to be declared a terrorist organization and what you are showing us now with your reporting they are built like a para military official. it is frightening and just the facts. texas governor greg abbott in an exclusive in focus. thank you for being with us on the first interview he handed president biden. >> thank you. >> harris: first of all. it seemed to be and my team isolated this like he was reading it. you got his attention. what was his response? >> he was reading it. i pointed to several issues in the letter i wanted him to focus on. i wanted to make clear he was receiving a sanitized review of what was going on in the border. i pleaded with him to go talk to the ranchers, thousands of

ranchers along the border whose lives are being completely disrupted as well as talk to the families who have lost a loved one because of the open border policies that he has had where the cartels have killed family members through fentanyl or other means. he wants to work with republicans on this and i said i'm a republican and have five specific proposals for you. i pointed out those five specific proposals. they do not require any new passage of law. they only require the president to enforce issues that have already been enacted into law by the united states congress that would stop the flow of illegal immigration between the points of entry. >> harris: what was his response? >> he said he looked forward to working with us. he was cordial about it but obviously non-committal about anything. he -- here is the point, harris.

these points that i laid out about ending catch and release. detaining people who were coming across the border illegally. turning back people. all of those are things the president and the united states already have the legal authority to do. they are not doing it. until they step up and start doing this all these other things they are doing is nothing more than a dog and pony show and won't stop anybody from coming across the border illegally. >> harris: when you hear you talk like this and knowing you took the facts to the president, it it is doubly confounding that there were things that didn't even require legislation. why didn't they do it? i will ask my team to pull up a couple of things from your letter. of course, we have your words. i want people to see that you

must designate the mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. i don't know if you just heard our reporter. she said they are so bold, the cartels, they have the para military organization going on. vehicles on the ground that look like war. >> there is already on the books in the united states law that if the president does designate them as a foreign terrorist organization, it empowers the united states to take certain actions against them that would begin to erode the power of the cartels. no new law is needed here. all we need is action by the president of the united states. >> harris: one more just so we can get to this. you said to the president, these are the things you can do. you must comply with the many statutes mandating that various categories of aliens shall be detained and end the practice of unl

unlawfully paroleing them en masse. >> under the president's order and under secretary mayokas's order they aren't detaining all these people. they are letting loose all these people across the united states. hundreds of thousands of whom they're not even tracking. they are failing to live up to the laws already enacted by the united states congress. >> harris: that's the point. the original crime of going between those ports of entry and illegally accessing our country, that's the original crime. they don't want to adjudicate that. they don't want to see it. they don't want to see who is doing it. homeland security secretary mayokas said this about your cooperation, governor. watch >> governor abbott is not collaborating with the federal government on an issue that requires collaboration. we cannot have unilateral governor action that is not coordinated with the federal government to address an issue that is of national importance.

>> harris: what is your response to that? >> i spoke to him about that yesterday. so after i spoke to the president, i spoke to secretary mayokas and i said listen, you all have the authority to stop this illegal immigration and stop people from crossing the border between ports of entry. i expect you to fulfill that. he said that he would look into it. but also know this. the only reason why we have these people coming across the border like we do is because both homeland security secretary and president are not enforcing current laws. they claim that republicans need to work with them. i have outlined what they need to do as a starting point to begin to secure the border. so any suggestion by either secretary mayokas or the president that republicans are not working with them is just flat out false. i have given them tangible ideas where they can secure the border and take care of the safety of the united states of america. now the ball is in their court to step up and take the action

they're already authorized to take. >> harris: as you read through the five steps that do not require new legislation it does hold their feet to the fire, though. the minute they start to work on these and the american public sees you could have been doing it all along it creates a messaging problem for the white house. they should be used to that, though, we've been listening to the messaging problem on the border for two years. i'm calling what happened in el paso sanitized for presidential political protection. you go to the place that is -- right now for illegals coming across in your state it is el paso, texas. you go there and you don't see one person at an intake facility or any migrants coming in? that takes some work and you sanitize the streets? it's a democrat mayor. speak to me last words about that. >> it's outrageous. i asked the president to see for

himself where people are crossing the border illegally. he did not do that. but i will tell you this one thing, harris. one reason why there are fewer people crossing the border in el paso right now is because i deployed our texas national guard to the area they were crossing. we put up razor wires, and containers, it stopped the inflow a week ago of the migrants. texas national guard is stepping up and doing the same thing across the entire border for texas to fill the gap caused by the biden administration. >> harris: that tax money clearly is coming from the pockets of your state's taxpayers, the citizens, that money could be going to a lot of places and they want you to take down the containers that gave the president the photo op. last word. >> i challenged them to get us to take it down. we want to battle them. i believe i have the authority

to do what we are doing on the border because of article one, section ten. we want to litigate this issue and prove that texas does have the authority to undertake the actions i'm undertaking. unprecedented for a state to secure not only our state but the entire country. >> harris: i wrote that down, article one, section ten. we'll dig deeper into that. i appreciate you coming in "focus" today. thank you very much. >> thank you, harris. >> harris: new signals between president biden could run for the white house again in 2024. maybe just going to the border might be one signal. you have to take that talking point away, right? they stick that to you every time. some speculating biden is making a subtle pivot to better position himself for another campaign perhaps on a host of issues. a new gop-led house setting its sights on the biden administration. >> the american people are going to get transparency from their government and we'll expect the

biden administration to be transparent. everyone will be held accountable in this town as far as new republican majority in the house is concerned. >> harris: republicans promising to look into everything from the border to hunter biden's sketchy business dealings. fox news contributor kellyanne conway in "focus" next. my name is joshua florence, and one thing i learned being a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody.

>> harris: house republicans say they will move full steam ahead on a wide array of investigations. on the list the border crisis. we've shown you why that needs a closer look. the weaponization of the justice department and an investigation into president biden perhaps his relatives, namely his son, hunter biden's foreign business dealings that may have left the

nation and a president exposed in some way. we need to know. the incoming chair, james comer, on oversociality >> we aren't investigating hunter biden. we're investigating joe biden. any american who kept up the p political process would agree we need to know what is allowable and not allowable with respect to foreign adversarial intervention among family members of presidents of the united states. >> harris: it's about national security, bottom line. when it comes to hunter biden it appears there is a large bipartisan support now for investigating hunter. a recent fox news poll finds 72% of voters think it is important for the d.o.j. to investigate hunter's business dealings with foreign governments. you can dig down into our polling. we talked to everybody. white house correspondent peter doocy has more.

peter. >> republicans believe their new majority comes with a mandate, to investigate. >> we have a duty to get into these agencies and look at how they have been weaponized to go against the very people they are supposed to represent and infringed on first amendment liberties on people. consistent with the constitution but we'll do it vigorously and aggressively because that's our job. >> democrats will struggle to stop subpoenas. they say the bigger issue in the election was economy and inflation. >> we have to govern, democrats have to govern, fight and lead. the clear contrast between us and them. we need to continue to show this contrast. republicans are playing with people's lives. democrats are changing and saving lives. >> we have been told to expect

investigations into covid spending, afghanistan withdrawal, and the border with growing gop calls to impeach mayokas who says he won't resign. >> are you prepared for the investigations? >> i am. i will be. and i will continue to do my work throughout them. >> the white house, beefed up the staff of lawyers and communication experts over the last couple of months. they expect a lot of subpoenas, harris. >> harris: thank you very much. let's welcome kellyanne conway, former senior counselor to president trump in "focus." good to see you. i want to start with where eye anna pressley was accusing republicans of playing with people's lives and saying democrats are saving people's lives. what is she talking about there? >> it won't work. part of the mandate the republican majority in the house

received from the voters a few months ago is to get to the bottom of the biden family business dealings. i want to make very clear what the investigations aren't about. we don't need to see more photos of hunter biden with hookers and private parts and in the bathtub, no. we need to know what he was doing in china and russia while his father was vice president or while his father was preparing to become the president. china as speaker mccarthy said a few months ago is the greatest geopolitical threat to this country, our economy and where do you think fentanyl is being produced? the list goes on and on. the fox news poll is important. i dug through it. three of the key groups joe biden need to court to win a second term are very low in terms of people thinking that joe biden that there is nothing seriously wrong in the hunter biden scandals.

28% of hispanics and 33% of suburban women only think he has done nothing wrong. also you said bipartisan support. i will throw in there, there is tri partisan support for these investigations, the vast majority of independents also say please investigate this. i think that's incredibly important. the last thing about this. the dhs disinformation board was disbanded last april under a cloud of a lot of controversy. but the disinformation at dhs is coming right from the top. you can't look the country in the eye and say the border is secure while we watch 4 1/2 million people come over it and you have the president doing a drive-by after they've cleared out all the migrants for his viewing pleasure. so americans want transparency and accountability and they will get that from this house. >> harris: what governor abbott just told the world a few minutes ago is part of what he has done with those containers in controlling the border also

gave the president part of that photo op. he didn't clean up the streets, the democratic mayor had that done. isn't that interesting what abbott wants to do at the border is working to the point where the president could look behind him and say wow. >> and the president missed an opportunity, harris, to say this looks like a bipartisan solution that's actually working. nibbling around the edges. let's invest more in that. he missed that opportunity. look, the other thing that's going on in these investigations people should know is that there has been an expansion of the ability of congress to look into the criminal investigations that are active right now and also how our government collects and analyzes information about we the people. who would be against that? i would say to congresswoman pressley and others why would you ever be against us knowing how the government is rifling through our private information? we have a right to know.

>> harris: i want to get to that. a new "wall street journal" op-ed is speaking to the issue you are talking about. digging information on us. the white house covid censorship machine, the white house has played a major role in censoring americans on social media. americans were given the false impression of a scientific consensus on critically important issues around covid-19. that's an example of what you are saying. >> yes. and actually just this past friday january 6th, i know every day on the calendar says january 6th to some people in this town. to others it was a big day on friday where the attorneys general of missouri and louisiana have brought a lawsuit and in the discovery phase of that lawsuit they have revealed that the director of digital media at the white house, flaherty, is arguing with facebook from his government office one would presume the white house email or maybe the

cell phone which could be unethical and illegal. he is pushing back on facebook for not taking down covid misinformation and vaccine information and actually involkswagen fox news tucker carlson by saying the number one hit about vaccines now is tucker carlson. take that down. i think what's being revealed now, harris, is proof and evidence of what many americans suspect, which is that big tech is watching us at all times. we're being shadow banned and censored. i want jim baker in front of congress. he was at the f.b.i. during the russia collusion non-sense and then deputy general counsel at twitter. if he has nothing to hide don't fear congressional investigations. >> harris: the accusation has been that word, collusion. so you would think that democrats definitely want to get to the bottom of that. >> we're finally finding it. >> harris: good to see you.

happy new year. thank you for being in "focus." >> thank you, god bless, thank you. >> harris: critics calling out president biden for playing politics. >> joe is only doing this for political reasons and not patriotic once. joe and his relationship with america. he only concerns when the gravy train runs out. >> harris: a number of issues that president has decided to turn around and see. that's positive. we want things to happen. number one is border. critics are saying it is a sign he is doing it politically positioning himself for another presidential campaign. taking some of the verbal weapons out of people's hands saying i've been to the border. we know the majority of americans want somebody else and it could hurt democrats heading into 2024 if it's him. power panel next. ♪

>> harris: is president biden flexing for the next? he made a bipartisan appearance with republican senate minority leader mitch mcconnell last week and yesterday's visit to el paso, texas. one biden ally tells the hill it's all about timing. it seems like he is all in. it's not if he runs anymore. recent fox polling shows the majority of voters don't want him to run again in 2024. look at that. the "new york post" cover yesterday sums it up this way. joe, no. power panel, mark, a specialer special assistant to president trump. and scott is with us former democratic party chairman. mark, i'll start with you. this is not just one group of people. why are saying no, not joe, any

reasons why he shouldn't run that you can see people pointing to? >> i think he has a record to run on. those who don't want him to run because of his age or because of some of his gaffes i just think they are engaged in age discrimination. he has done more in the last four years than many other predecessors. i think it's up to him whether he wants to run or not. democrat party will be behind him and the party of chaos that is the republican party. he will win and will win against other possible nominees. he runs well or wins. republicans are in chaos. trump versus mcconnell and the factions want him to run because he is a winner. >> harris: i'll stop you. in answer to my question which you did do. the number one thing it is ageism according to you. it could be policies, mark.

4 million people in the country fanning out everywhere and finally the president goes to the border. governor abbott says they could have fixed it with stuff that didn't require legislation but they didn't. >> absolutely. the reason why people don't want him to run is because of his record. inflation, sky high gas prices, record immigration. the issues that affect people at home when they are sitting around the kitchen table, joe biden's record is a bad one. that's why they don't want him to run. running to the center is not going to work because he will upset the left and the right. >> harris: i want to do this in reverse order if we can. i do think because you brought up ageism we can talk about that. we aren't doctors, nobody here is an octogenarian. we can't speak to anything other than what we see. mark, your response. >> i don't think this has anything to do with joe biden's

age. i think it has to do with the results. it is a great talking point for the democrats to be able to point to ageism. the reason why people don't like the president and his approval ratings are stuck in the 40s is because of the results. nothing to do with his age. >> harris: we spoke with tech as governor greg abbott a few minutes ago and fired back at president biden and homeland security secretary mayokas. we didn't know he tucked to mayokas. it was blaming republicans for what we see at the border. let's watch. >> so after i spoke to the president i spoke to secretary mayokas and said listen, you all have the authority to stop this illegal immigration and stop people from crossing the border between ports of entry. they claim republicans need to work with them. i have outlined exactly what they need to do as a starting point to begin to secure the border. so any suggestion by either secretary mayokas or the president that republicans are

not working with them is just flat out false. >> harris: so kellyanne conway said it. others have said it. we can see it for our own eyes. here is an opportunity for president biden, scott. to do the things don't require changing laws, don't need congress to do anything. will the president do it? should he do it? >> i think the president has a lot of power and opportunities to do it. he sent more resources to the border and more money and funding to the border. the republicans like this issue because it plays well to the constituents. >> harris: he handed him ways to get this done to make it better. do you think the president will do that? >> if the republicans want to talk to the democrats and biden i'm sure the democrats and joe biden are willing to talk with them. it is a bad mark on the record on the republicans and democrats to let this go on. >> harris: what governor abbott suggested, mark, those five things don't require the president to get together with

anybody in congress. they really don't. he could do what's on the books right now. >> right. the president does have the power to be able to stop this. we proved that was possible under the previous administration. it didn't take an act of congress. the problem as former secretary wolf says, the biden administration views the border as a proper sense problem. they want to process more people in and get them into our country as opposed to deterrence problem. don't come here in the first place, keep the gangs and drugs out of our neighborhoods. don't come illegally, come and use the legal process. >> harris: last word quick, scott. >> how can you tell somebody not to come whether they are here legally or illegally. there is a process. hundreds of thousands are coming because they want the american dream. we're a country of immigrants and should have a better proper socialities it's an american problem. not a democrat problem. >> harris: call the man in the

scheduled for 3:00 p.m.enter as i said in my tweet the only score that matters right now faith wins. critics pushing back on an op-ed and claiming nfl violence has disproportionately affected black men. they couldn't let the peaceful moment sit for a second. they need to divide everybody. while the form of entertainment is normalized. it demonstrates ordinary violence has potentially deadly consequences and black men's athletic labor sustains this brutal system is a quote. coach tony dungy fired back. as a black man and former nfl player i can say this article is ridiculous. pete hegseth. your top line thoughts. >> tony dungy is right. we should remember this when we put together the most stupid arguments of 2023 at the end of this year. i guess this is what passes as

scientific in america is recognizing that players get injured and many of the players in the nfl are black. and quite good at what they do and make a great deal of money. but again, especially on the heels of what happened with damar hamlin, i think about my own minnesota vikings. i have world case wide receiver, one black, one white. patrick peterson, world class safety. black, white, black, white. they play a game they love they know incurs risk, that we love watching. they make tons of money and somehow this writer wants to turn it into racism. it's like you have to undo the unifying moments you beautifully show cased. no matter what you believed or skin color we pray for a guy who had a heroic recovery.

we shouldn't try to dissect the argument we should dismiss it and move on. >> harris: they couldn't let us sit in the moment of unity. i watched four of all the games on this weekend. i watched the national anthem and took every one. everyone stood. they can't let us be together like that? think where we were a few years ago when that national anthem would play. we have moved forward and damar hamlin, through tragedy and now a slow recovery maybe. we pray he has a great life whether he plays football or not, he unified us and reminded us that love and faith win. >> we finally found our way to stand for the anthem and kneel for the cross. the way it should be. >> harris: randi weingarten, president of the second largest teachers union, she is, again under fire. this time for admitting remote learning was a failure after she

advocated for school closures during the pandemic. here is what she tweeted. what we have seen if public education is technology can't replace teachers. remote education didn't work in part because you have to have relationships and build trust. critics not impressed with her sudden change of tune. watch. >> was working against our children and parents for the entire part of the pandemic before a vaccine was even available when they were negotiating going back to school, she was putting everything on the table. medicare for all, police reform. nothing to do with children. she was trying to get everything she could while holding children hostage by keeping them in remote learning. >> harris: why come clean now? >> well, randi is a real learner. she has figured it out now. she has never been a teacher. she is an activist as dr. saphier pointed out. i want to thank randi

weingarten. not for doing what she did to kids but i want to thank her and the american federation of teachers and national education association for exposing parents to the lunacy is what is happening in government schools. as a result, millions of parents are leaving the public school system. across the country. there has been a drop in enrollment from 2019 to 2020, 2021 to 2022. parents taking their kids and putting them somewhere where their values are. the unions rammed garbage down their throats. everything to do with being indoctrinated. more parents now know what you've been trying to do, randi weingarten. >> harris: i know you were eating m & ms before the commercial break. women m & ms. the company has just launched an all female pact.

green, brown and purple. they even have names. why are we upside down on that package? >> i don't know. it's a great question, harris. i don't know. apparently there is new lesbian characters, female empowerment. i didn't know eating orange now, it is a man or woman? i don't know. is this blue? is it non-binary or democratic? it's blue. green maybe -- they are all great. is green a little more environmentally friendly? i never thought about it before. i bought the m & m packet for my wife in her stocking. it has a lot of political connections, too. men and women like them. >> harris: we have to bring in santa claus and any of us who are loving just the candy for the flavor of the candy. i do legitimately ask why, if

you really want to empower women, would you depict us as people who can't stand up straight and put us upside down on the packaging? >> good point. virtue signaling gone wrong. >> harris: today january 9th national law enforcement appreciation today to honor the bravery and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform across america. i celebrate you and thank you. this is the dallas pd i met recently.
