are hurting. our health insurance in the union went up $7 hundred a month now. biden was supposed to be for the union. he ain't done nothing but hamstring us. it is just not me. >> dana: we appreciate you coming on, bugsy, you give your message loud and clear and why we love you. take care. >> thank you all for giving me a voice and god bless america. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next. >> harris: that was a big voice, love it. fox news alert. president biden is south of the border today meeting with north korea american leaders after seeing the united states side for the first time ever. a three hour pit stop sanitized by leadership. we don't know who ordered the
8:01 am
epic cleanup. several senate lawmakers are at the border right now getting a close-up look at the real crisis, looking for real answers. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." one group, a bipartisan delegation led by texas republican john cornyn, and arizona independent kyrsten sinema making stops in their home states focused on finding solutions. >> what is happening now is happening on our doorstep and we need to work together to try to address it in the best way we can. >> a repeated failure by administration after administration to manage this crisis. the way i see for us to do that is work together by putting partisanship aside and listening to local folks and working together to find solutions. >> harris: we may be getting a peak from the curtain why she left the democratic party. they weren't doing that. this from the front lines.
8:02 am
face and center hour by hour, minute by minute agents catching two illegals as they crossed across the border. we have fresh video coming from our next guest, tennessee senator marsha blackburn will be in "focus." she is heading up an all-female delegation at the border. let's get more of the news from mark meredith in el paso, texas. >> good morning to you. congressional delegations come to the border all the time but this trip felt different. you have a bipartisan group of senators, people who will admit they know there is a growing national security and humanitarian crisis unfolding. they got a tour last night after sunset and joined with them as the eight senators in a caravan made multiple stops along the border getting a sense of what's going on. during their tour they got to see areas where migrants are
8:03 am
attempting to cross daily. at one point they saw how smugglers were trying to break down fencing that has been around for years now. an area well supervised by border agents but gives lawmakers a glimpse even the smallest of gaps can allow anyone or anything to get into the u.s. senators told us they know people are frustrated not only for the strain that has been taking on the border communities across the country but also for the government workers, men and women on the front line overwhelmed with the job they've got. >> border patrol agents are taken off the work line and taken to help care for, house detainees someplace. so we're 60% less border patrol agents. as we've heard tonight, the cartels know that. >> we were moving locations the senators stopped their caravan. fascinating because the border agents they came across were
8:04 am
detaining two chinese nationals trying to sneak into the country in front of our cameras. agents were doing their best to translate what the chinese nationals were saying. it is not just migrants coming in from south and central america but the whole world and goes back to the national security crisis we were talking about. they talked about a listening sechlths take the information back to d.c. and in the next several months develop a proposal and legislation that could make its way through the house as well and get to the president's desk. president biden was here in el paso as well. ground 0 for the debate over immigration. so many of the folks that are here have said they really want to know if anything will come out of these kind of trips. >> harris: they've waited so long to pay attention to it. ground 0 for this mass humanity coming across the border is hitting every state in our country, fentanyl, crime, the
8:05 am
like. good to see you. thank you. it's not just about the mass humanity flooding into america. there are national security and humanitarian concerns over brutal human smuggling and lethal drug trafficking. marsha blackburn is taking charge leading a separate delegation inside the del rio sector. she is leading an all-female group getting a close look at the human cost of the crisis. >> this is a humanitarian crisis of the utmost proportion and we have to take it seriously both for national security and to end that for these men, women and children who are being utilized by these cartels. >> you look at our nation and where we are. every thing under president biden has been moving in the wrong direction. >> we can't tell the good guys from the bad guys when everybody comes across. it is insane that the united states of america is allowing this to happen on our borders. >> these cartels are making
8:06 am
money off of moving people, smuggling people. there should be bipartisan agreement that this has got to stop. >> harris: senator marsha blackburn from the great state of tennessee is at the border in "focus" now. senator, first of all i really appreciate you going out at night and seeing the people cross into this country aened some of them had to have been wearing camo. the drug cartels are motivating and mobileizing them. what are you seeing? >> yes, harris, you are exactly right on that. the cartels are in charge of that border on the mexico side. they are dictating exactly how to come across. they are coaching people how to come across. but bear in mind, human smuggling has gone from being a half billion dollar business over the last couple of earrings years. you are looking at something
8:07 am
that's a nearly $15 billion business. people are the product. women and girls and children put into sex trafficking rings. what we're hearing, the stories we're hearing, meeting with people that have survived this human trafficking, talking to people that are working on this issue, working with the border patrol and texas dps at the national security implications of this, harris, last quarter, the first quarter of 2022 here in the del rio sector they apprehended 143 convicted criminals. they have been con faconvicted u.s. of crimes. they were deported. went back to mexico, they got the message from the cartels the border is open, if you want to get back, now is the time. so they are trying to come back into the country.
8:08 am
and those are the ones we know. now, you have the known gotaways, you have the unknown gotaways. and these are people that evade -- the cartels are very sophisticated. the drones and surveillance that they're using, they know where the border patrol is and is not. and so the really bad guys are going where the border patrol is not. they don't want to give themselves up, put their hands up and claim asylum. they want to evade, get back to the country, sell drugs, traffic human beings. that's their goal. we have to put a stop to them. >> harris: it is to the tune of billions of dollars. it is a whole industry on the backs of people who could give you nothing more than their company right now. they are coming and taking all their resources just to get here. the cartels are taking everything from them and willing to use them and sell the drugs
8:09 am
that they are forced at times to carry for the protection of their own families or freedom to get here. >> that's right. >> harris: it is one vicious circle. i want to recognize a couple of people and press in on why there is an all-female delegation. katie britt, senator from alabama, cindy hide smith senator from mississippi, both republicans. all three of you are together. we heard from them a few moments ago before we introduced you, senator. all of you are there. this impacts women in a cruel way that does not get enough coverage. we talk about sex trafficking. but i've been down there. these young women are girls. these are not even adults in many cases. >> that's right, harris. this morning we watched two groups cross at the rio grande and come into the country. and you look at the women and the children that are in these
8:10 am
groups. it is heartbreaking. what we do know is that the humanitarian crisis doesn't stay here on the southern border. the drugs, the human trafficking, the gangs, the sex trafficking, the crime in our cities, the drugs that are in our communities, it is causing a humanitarian crisis in our country also. you think about these precious individuals who come with us and we'll take you to america, things will be great the cartels tell them and they end up in the gangs or trafficking gangs and sex trafficking rings. these parents never see their children again. and for anybody to say that this is compassionate what is happening on this border, that is not accurate at all.
8:11 am
the border patrol, they want to do their job. they want to get out and secure the border. right now they are being forced to handle the asylum business because people are walking across that border illegally entering the country. claiming asylum and then the taxpayer is funding, sending these individuals around the country wherever it is that they say they are wanting to go. >> harris: the other part of the story, too, is what the president didn't see and how he couldn't see all of this. we didn't see him on a nighttime -- he couldn't have gone on a nighttime ride along. he was only three for three hours during the day. many call his visit sanitized. i called it sanitized for presidential political protection. he got down, didn't see anything and came back will be the line. i do have another question. maybe it has been talked about because of all the women's
8:12 am
issues that you just raised, and the victims among those cartel mules, it's unbelievable how many of them are females being used. why not send the so-called border czar, vice president kamala harris. no word from the white house on why she was absent. we saw secretary of homeland mayokas there but not the leading woman in this usa government. your thoughts. >> we invited both the president and vice president harris to join us here in eagle pass. so that they could really see what is going on. what we're seeing is not sanitized. we stood at the water's edge. we watched these people come across. we watched the coyote bring them across. we have talked to people who have made this journey. we have talked to people that
8:13 am
are sur -- that have survived the sex trafficking. talking to a young woman who was raped 400 times, 400 times, put into a sex trafficking ring. people that were apprehended when they were 12 years old and put into these cartel rings. harris, this is something that we should never have a policy that is going to embolden the cartels and encourage them in what they are doing, which is trafficking human beings. using them as a product. trafficking drugs, destroying families all around this country. there should be bipartisan agreement. and this administration should be willing to say let's do what border patrol says, secure the
8:14 am
border, remain in mexico, end catch and release. title 42, and be certain that we build a permanent barrier so they can do their jobs. >> harris: you are so calm when you talk about this and i know you are ready to go and wage the political fight for all of what you say on capitol hill. having you against the back drop of what has been like this far too long and at different points in our history many times over 40, 50 years but worse now than it's ever been in the history of our country. to hear you say this is so important. you show us what the president didn't see and it is an embarrassment and disappointment he didn't see all of this. we're seeing it now. senator blackburn, thank you very much for the close-up look. you see the border patrol there and cbd doing their jobs down on the rio grande.
8:15 am
they sometimes pick people out trying to save them. otherwise trying to stop them and say go back. senator, thank you. from endless investigations into president trump, you remember them, to silencing the stories on hunter biden, you remember that. and spying on parents raising concerns at school board meetings. how could we forget? the gop says the weaponization of the federal government must stop and they have a plan. plus lawyers finding classified documents inside of a private office used by president biden after he was vice president. you know what the center was called? the penn biden center. it had his name on it. the papers were there. republicans say what's good for the goose is good for the gander. >> it is another show of total hypocrisy where the democrats have treated president trump with an entirely different set of standards than they treat their own people. >> harris: however, under this
8:16 am
democratic president the d.o.j., his d.o.j. is launching an investigation. what kind of answers could we get? jason chaffetz in "focus." like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. with voya, considering all your financial choices together... can help you make smarter decisions. for a more confident financial future. hey, a tandem bicycle. can't do that by yourself.

8:21 am
>> harris: why did classified papers end up in a private office of then vice president joe biden? well, he is president now. and that batch of papers has been unearthed. and the justice department has just launched an investigation into the whole thing. the records included a small number of classified documents. florida congressman byron donalds demanding answers. >> the vice president has no ability to declassify information so number one, what was he doing with classified information in his possession?
8:22 am
number two, why did it take six years -- i want to stress this for the american people. joe biden left the vice presidentsy in 2017. >> harris: that part. the dates. a long time. critics comparing this to the discovery of classified documents during the f.b.i. raid of former president trump's mar-a-lago's home. the compareson, they're quite different actually. >> president biden has a lot less to say when it's his documents being scrutinized. [inaudible]. >> than he did talking about trump. the special counsel to the president says the discovery of these document was made by the president's attorneys. documents were not subject of any previous request or inquiry
8:23 am
by the archives. the attorneys have cooperated with the archives and department of justice to make sure all are appropriately in the possession of the archives. republicans who promised investigations into many things are adding this to their list. it the is jurisdiction of the house oversight committee and james comer. >> i won't be quick to judge. i just know he said it was very irresponsible for president trump to take classified documents to his personal residence and have them in an insecured location. >> there is a process that people who realize they have classified information can go through contacting the national archives and a review. you talk to folks around here and they think the reason it's getting more attention is because president trump fought that process for months. >> harris: maybe it is getting attention because the place where it was had biden's name on it, the penn biden center. moving forward. jason chaffetz, fox news
8:24 am
contributor and former is utah congressman great to see you. i want to get your initial reaction when you learned there were classified documents in the building named the ben biden center in a private office. >> of course, this is a non-classified center. people of all sorts, we don't know, had access to this. we don't know the degree and severity of the classification. when we went through this with hillary clinton and she had classified documents in a non-secure setting they were so sensitive even i as the chairman of the oversight committee didn't have the proper security clearance to review them. people would have been tortured and killed if they were revealed. the statement that came out of the white house is irresponsible and just laughable on its surface. it says in there it was not subject to a previous request. it is the law -- it is against the law to take classified documents. they don't have to ask for it.
8:25 am
donald trump can declassify things, joe biden as the vice president can't declassify things. why aren't they raiding the penn center? if there were classified documents there, do we know they got all of them? we just assume and take the word of somebody else? how do we know that? why aren't they in there right now with subpoenas going through every record there? that's the double standard. that's what's irresponsible. they had possession of classified documents. we don't know if they got them all. >> harris: normally we might be able to make the pushback argument maybe they're doing that and we don't know. when they went after trump it was epic. all the neighbors and everybody could see it. everybody could see it, it was a raid. so would this likely go down like that at the penn biden center again for all the reasons you just raised? we don't know if they still have some of that paperwork there. >> well that's why congress needs to investigate the double
8:26 am
standard. why is it that they treated 11 way and one the other way? it's purely political. the president trump's residence is protected by the united states secret service. you could have picked up the phone in ten seconds, figured out that donald trump is not there. they didn't need to go in guns ablazing with television crews and armed people standing outside. they already had the secret service there for goodness sake. >> harris: actually, representative scalise has named all the new committee chairs. two popped out. judiciary chairman is representative jim jordan of ohio, oversight and accountability chairman is representative james comer. what does it tell you about investigations going forward? we'll be quick because we have another one to get to. >> they have a head start on this and they know what they are doing. they're seasoned. they've been well trained and have incredible staff and get
8:27 am
after it. we'll see if the white house and the department of justice will enforce their subpoenas as swiftly and aggressively when it was on the other foot. >> harris: a little while ago, the goose and the gander. how republicans getting right down to work as you just put it, jason. on top of the agenda we've been told investigating the biden administration's use of the federal government against american citizens. the new house majority plans to form a select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government likely led by as i just m jordan. your thoughts on that. >> this is the right thing to do. jerry nadler, who is now going to be the ranking member used to be the chairman of that committee has blasted this and that's pretty rich coming from somebody. think about the malpractice that went on add judiciary. they never held a hearing in the
8:28 am
last two years about immigration or about the role of fentanyl and the 100,000 people dying. they never did a hearing about what was going on with covid and the origins of covid. all of these things were totally ignored. jim jordan has his hands full but he will get a plus up. the idea of this special select committee is that they will get millions of dollars in resources and personnel to go find this information and work with the inspector general, michael horowitz has already written more than 1,000 pages on this. there is plenty of material to go after. >> harris: the wiping away of the money, the $1 billion for the 87,000 i.r.s. agents among the first orders of business. quick thought. >> it is the right thing to do. it won't go anywhere in the senate. next time appropriations come up for fiscal 2024 the gop has the moral imperative to make it happen. >> harris: jason chaffetz, thank you and play the role of former
8:29 am
chair of oversight for a few minutes there. you gave us information we didn't have. thank you. the big easy has a big problem. it's a dangerous now. it is now the murder capital of america. the democratic mayor now begging for more police saying the city is willing to pay. oh, they want to refund them. plus biden's war on fossil fuels may take aim at your kitchen stove. if you like to cook on gas they aren't on your side. the new ban the administration is reportedly cooking up, so to speak. jason rantz in "focus." paying on and paying off your high rate credit card debt? and still have cash left over to put in the bank? with a newday 100 va cash out loan, you could do it all. take out an average of $70,000 - with no upfront fees. no upfront appraisal fees, termite inspection, or water test fee. because a veteran shouldn't have to

8:35 am
happen. police stats for 2022 and they are still counting reportedly. so far they've gotten to this number, 277. that's a homicide rate of about 70 per 100,000 people. that's the most in the nation. the city also recording a rise in gun deaths, armed robberies, vehicle thefts. 2023 not shaping up to be any better. potentially worse. new orleans has one homicide per day now. the coroner there yesterday identified five victims of gun violence killed in less than a week. the city entering carnival, the season ahead of mardi gras. the mayor is begging anybody and everybody for help. >> we're prepared to invite and pay for any post certified law enforcement agency to support us. we are willing to pay so that our new orleans police department, our public safety team, our unified command has
8:36 am
every layer of support that we need, that you need present throughout the streets of new orleans to insure that we have a safe mardi gras 2023. >> harris: jason rantz. president biden braged all this money was going to help fight crime around the country. where is the cash? >> it wasn't an actual promise. it was all political. new orleans right now has all the ingredients for again becoming the murder capital. to your point, you have a depleted police force. under 1,000 cops. in 2019 when they had the lowest number of homicides they had 1300 cops. there is a connection there. you have a left wing d.a. in williams who claims that the criminal justice system is racist by design and it allows him to go easy on criminals depending on skin color.
8:37 am
you want a make a political point. you have the mayor cantrell who pushes for restorative justice on dangerous criminals particularly youth who carjack. i don't know why we've decided that's the right group to go easy on. she helped lead the defund movement. they cut police funding. by 16 million and saying oh, we don't have a police force. when you look at the exit interviews of the cops who left they said time and time again they don't feel appreciated. they are getting hit with silly punishment for low-level mistakes that they make. all of it driven by this movement that cops are inherently racist and evil and we have to do something about them. now this is where we're at. >> harris: i always like to follow the money. where is the $16 million that they defunded the police for? we need to know that. their ideas of replacing the officers not being there and making money on deal by cutting
8:38 am
them 16 million did not work out. accountability. where is the cash? >> good question. when you look at the budget overall for the city of new orleans, they ended up having to cut a bunch of cash from different departments outside of the police because they were overspending. we don't know where the money is and i think it goes directly to the mayor, who is just not very competent at running this city. i don't know if you remember this but back in september, she comes out and she says oh, i don't believe any of the data that shows that we have a bunch of murders here. it is government terminology. it is like no, you clearly have a problem. i think her delusion has led to this point. >> harris: it's very sad and dangerous now. she has to do in short order what could take years to replace the types of police officers and their experience you lost. you might get people to come in temporarily but you want to live in that city permanently, it will take some time to get that
8:39 am
ship upright. the biden administration's war on fossil fuels is coming for your kitchen, jason. do you like to cook with gas? many people do. i do. it is reportedly considering a ban on gas stoves. the very stoves and cook tops found in 40% of american homes except for year in new york where they've made the edict you can't have anything but an electric now. the consumer safety commission cites concerns over pollution emitted by appliances. research links them to asthma and other problems. industry spokesperson says this is not news. banning one type of cooking appliance won't address the concerns about overall indoor air quality. people may just need to turn on their hoods when cooking. open a window. critics having a field day with this. one tweeted when you lose power due to a blizzard or hurricane
8:40 am
having a gas stove can save your life. the government wants to ban it. the administration says the ban would be on new appliances. okay, they won't come to your house but prevent what you put in your house. >> absolutely. look, all cooking emits pollutants. the only reason they want to ban gas stoves is because it is fueled by gas. it isn't about the health effects. they tell people open a window and then the impact is negligible. not just new york city. you have d.c., washington state. they are banning gas heating in new construction. the movement is to go all electric. they will force it on us eventually. they can say they aren't going after the current gas stove tops. when you move forward in a world where you are forcing this in new constructions at some point the people who know how to fix gas stoves start to dwindle. all of a sudden people are going to electric, which costs more in
8:41 am
electricity bills for a lot of people most vulnerable. >> harris: 80% of putting the grids across the country is fossil fueled, 80%, coal fossil fueled. what will you do? california couldn't have you this summer plug in your electric car. what will you do when 40% of people using gas come onto all the electrical grids? not just expensive. you may not have enough for everybody to drink from or plug everything in. we've already seen it. jason rantz, great to have you in focus. thank you very much. we have witnessed an incredible outpouring of prayer for buffalo bills safety damar hamlin. prayer, something our next guest fought for all the way to the u.s. supreme court. he is in "focus" the day of his victory. remember, we had him. watch. >> this is america and the first amendment applies and nobody

illegal invasion of ukraine and the need to continue to stand up strong for democracy, the rule of law, for opportunities and inclusive growth around the world. but as you say, there are tremendous things that we can build on here at home. north america is the largest free trading block in the world. larger even than the european union. we have a tremendous amount to contribute to the world in goods and services but also in technology and solutions that the world really needs. our capacity to work together has brought us to places of extraordinary success but at a time of disruption around the world and very real challenges we can and must be doing even more. so i'm really pleased with all the work folks have been doing over the past many months and years on aligning and coordinating so that we're leading the way on the net 0 transition we have to do while
8:47 am
at the same time insuring that individual canadians and americans and mexicans and others around the world can see themes in an optimistic way and yes, we are in a time of challenges and strife but there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic especially for those of us in our countries. it will take a lot of work. something that neither you or i or mostly our citizens have been afraid of. rolling up our sleeves and building better communities and a future is essential. as we talk about issues, whether it's haiti, challenges in south america, talking about critical minerals and energy and how we will continue to move forward to create those efficient and resilient supply and value chains we need there is a lot we'll be able to do together.

>> harris: the north american leader summit you see the president of the united states there with justin trudeau of canada. they are in mexico city. the president saw the border on our side of the line for the very first time on sunday. and now he is down talking with north american leaders and you heard from both of the men about what they anticipate talking about, the president laughing that he didn't understand any of the last part because he should have studied french more. we wanted to show that to you. sometimes we'll hang on in case there is a question shouted. damar hamlin's cardiac arrest midfield has led to an outpouring of prayer. faith emerges in moment of crisis even as america gross more secular. we shouldn't move so quickly past this moment in which americans were united in shock, fear and many turned to what is often the only comfort in times of peril, prayer. coach joe kennedy in "focus"
8:50 am
now. the u.s. supreme court ruled in joe kennedy's favor after he was fired from his high school coaching job for praying on the field. he has now been rehired after the ruling and we're all reinwig -- >> i think it's awesome that prayer is such a powerful thing and it's incredible how we should all comes together at once. the power of prayer was incredible not just on the football field but seeing what god can do in every day lives and especially for a couple of football players. the guy on the field injured or a coach fighting for his job. >> harris: you know, joe, when you were leading your young players in prayer, had you any anticipation how much love and prayer there was inside of the nfl among all those players that could become almost a movement in this whole thing?
8:51 am
>> i knew there was quite a bit of believers. if you watch any football game you can see them on the 50 -yard line afterwards. i know there is a lot of guys that want to share their faith and their faith with god and all kinds of religions. you can imagine what the nfl is made of. to see teams taking a knee not in protest but something as great as praying for somebody who has been injured and seeing the remarkable events that happened afterwards is incredible. >> harris: we noticed the same thing. when they were playing the national anthems it had been a while since the conversation didn't drift the to who isn't going to stand? everybody stood, head bowed. we were all in the same place for a little while. talk to me about the journey that you have fought and how you think this plays in a role for coaches like yourself who have wanted to put prayer on the field in their locker rooms. do you think we're going forward with that? >> i absolutely do.
8:52 am
i believe that america is very much in touch with faith and it is intertwined with who america is. i really truly believe that everybody is mostly just directly in the middle of everything that is going on in politics and in everything that's going on. so yeah, it has been a tough road but this should encourage everybody and it is a cool thing to love god and love others, a novel idea. >> harris: you love how you put it. worship however you do. there would be -- we're the united states of america. freedom of religion. people can pray any way they want. what was amazing about all of this is it's about love, peace and hopefulness, if you will. pew research and gallup i wrote about this recently has looked at statistically where we're going as a country. by 2070 we won't be a predominantly christian nation. below 50%.
8:53 am
what do you see that could change that and how important would it be to hold onto powerful prayer as a nation? >> just like -- it is unfortunate it happens in a time of peril when somebody has a great injury or 9/11 you see the things happening where the nation comes together. we should just remember god is very much in our lives and that he provides for us and has made our country what it is. that's why america is so incredible and great. so i just -- you know, have faith that everybody, you know, sorry about that. >> harris: no worries, keep the faith for technology every time i go on the air. damar hamlin has made a miraculous road to recovery. we don't know what his life will look like but he has one. and that is a blessing.
8:54 am
what did you pray when you found out what was happening with him? i'm curious to know what popped into your mind. you are coming at it as a coach and somebody who has faith. >> yes. when i see my guys get hurt and every coach, you can see everybody on team that fellowship and the way a team the built around each other, there is nothing but love and caring there. so it makes my hair stand up on end just to think about that outpouring towards the players and it is just something that everybody should experience in their life. >> harris: are you still praying with your players now and do you see other coaches, my big question. is it spreading even at the youth sports level? what you are coaching. i have a gymnast in my family. a lot of dangerous things our kids want to try and grow up and do. >> everything was put on hold while everything was going on with the court system.
8:55 am
it took nine seasons. i have yet to step on the football field. i'm stepping on in 2023. other schools around are now praying on the west coast this was really affecting all the coaches now are free to go back to doing what they are doing and saying a prayer. >> harris: joe kennedy all the way to the supreme court. he will come back and play with his players next years. we'll take a break. it means we come to work every day knowing we have the privilege of helping veterans make the most of their va home loan benefit.
