motion to change venue, right? then you will have to pick a jury, then the trial. >> dana: could he plead guilty before that at any point? >> he could, of course. >> dana: do you expect that? >> i was leaning that way except for the families want the death penalty. they may go all the way on this. >> dana: thank you for being here. harris faulkner will take it from here. here she is. >> harris: the drip, drip is so loud. president biden's classified document scandal is unfolding if front of us. we learn more about who was in the room or the garage at some point, i would imagine, while the searches were going down. the president's attorneys, of course, we knew. justice department officials now we know. however, no f.b.i. agents were allowed in unlike during the raid of former president trump's home, mar-a-lago.

i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." you notice what i said f.b.i. not allowed in. they were told to step back. more questions than answers still. and plenty of holes in the plot line that the president and his team have been floating. gaps, missing information, whatever you want to call it. a lot of it. we don't know. the press secretary yesterday insisted she only learned about the classified documents found at the president's private d.c. office sponsored by the penn biden center, she only found out after reporters broke the story. white house lawyers found those documents two months earlier as we know. the game of dodge ball was on. >> i've been very clear this is something that the white house counsel is handling. this is something that is being handled by the president's lawyers. >> i wonder why then did the

white house counsel go to wilmington to facilitate the handing over the documents to the d.o.j.? separating the white house from the d.o.j. the white house counsel was the one to go and facilitate the documents, to look for the documents. >> they have been working very closely with the department of justice. i would prefer you to them if you want to know specifically about their actions. >> harris: the "wall street journal" reporting the d.o.j. decided not to send f.b.i. agents along for document searches to keep them back. the "new york post" poking fun with this cover. nothing to seize here. republican congresswoman cammock is in "focus" today. we go live to peter doocy first. >> first, harris, there is so much talk about how joe biden handled classified information as vice president. i was clicking through the

archives today, 2013 we found what now i would say is an extraordinary photo that shows him in the oval office on the sidelines of a meeting with benjamin netanyahu and barack obama and if we have the photo that we could put up, there we go. on the right if you drop the banner there, the document that is in the president's hand has a cover sheet that says code word classified document, vice president. we have no reason to think that that document was mishandled but that's what it looks like and that's the president in a room full of cameras with members of the u.s. press and international press at a meeting. when we go back to this issue of the f.b.i. not going into wilmington we can report the d.o.j. did have officials went to the residence last thursday

to retrieve them and take possession. that expands on a mostly overlooked part of a special counsel statement from over the weekend where he wrote while i was transferring it to d.o.j. officials who accompanied me five additional pages with classified marksing were discovered. a total of six pages. the d.o.j. officials with me immediately took possession of them. critics are crying foul about the lack of f.b.i. involvement here. >> it was only 20 documents. how do we know that? i guess we have to take that at face value now and the white house was too nervous to have a federal agent at least alongside the attorneys because remember, anything else they see that could be construed as criminal activity as they are looking for these top secret documents while the attorneys have no clearances at all. >> there is an apparent new

contradiction the way the white house talks about the wilmington residence. they have long said it is a place the president visited often and it's a kay because he does work there. now they defend not having visitor logs by saying the opposite quote. like every president in decades of modern history is personal residence are personal. no official events on the president's schedule today. don't know if we'll see him. >> harris: you touched on a couple of things we want to get to now. thanks for your great reporting continued. the white peter was just telli about on president biden's wilmington, delaware home. here is last year's version. >> i will note that while every president can work from anywhere they are. that's how presidents are equipped. the president has the capacity to make a secure call from anywhere he is, yes. >> harris: however, this week multiple white house officials insisted biden's personal residence is just that,

personal. so is he working? what was he doing? we don't have a log that's what they say. they didn't keep one. they also say there are no visitor logs for that home or we haven't been told about the other one. we have been told there were no papers at the rehoboth beach, delaware home. but the president held meetings there and his son, hunter. senators often visited the home. the president himself casually with people hanging out there. >> president biden: i was sitting in my kitchen yesterday. there is a sun room off the kitchen and my wife was there with her sister and a good friend named mary ann and she was saying do you realize it is over $5 for a pound of hamburger meat? $5? >> harris: wow, just chat it up.

congresswoman cammock of florida. first of all your reaction when you found out the f.b.i. was actually not allowed to go in. p you shall push >> you want to talk about hypocrisy and a double set of standards, we're seeing classified document found at the residence whether it's personal or business to me it doesn't matter. because again it is just another example of that double set of standards the bidens are being held to versus president trump. then the penn center funded by the chinese communist party, you have classified documents found there from a time as when vice president he didn't have the authority to declassify documents. it again points to the fact that if you or i or everyday america did this we'd be in handcuffs by now. why is the commander-in-chief have a different set of stapedes arts. it is disgusting. how can our enemies or allies depend on what we say if we

continually have a moving target? it whats to change. >> harris: i'm more concerned less about what they would say about us than what they would do if they could be the person and not someone else standing next to him as he has classified document walking around the place. he does have secret service but you and i can read that plain as day. we're not the enemy. >> that's the thing. we have a situation where there is a total disregard for national security with this administration. you can point to the botched withdrawal from afghanistan, you can point to the border crisis that has been playing out where we have over 100 people apprehended on the international terrorist watch list. god knows how many of those were gotaways and now within our country. you look at the handling of classified documents. it points to a bigger issue, harris. they have no regard for the rule of law and they have no regard

for our national security. i think this is where you are going to see a very aggressive republican house coming after them to hold them accountable. everyday americans are sick and tired of this double set of standards. we need consequences and the oversight and we need to get our country back on track. it starts with the basics, national security. but if you have an administration with no regard for it you have to start with the house and making sure that the investigations are happening and the people are being held accountable and there are actual consequences. >> harris: this is unfolding before our eyes. it is a drip, drip of epic proportions. i've been asking about what happens when a vice president takes papers from a sitting president because that's what happened with biden and former president obama. what would obama and his team have to say about it? obama's ethics chief didn't hold back when it comes to the biden's mishandling of documents. the negligence exhibited in the

mishandling of records is appalling. the white house was not at all forthcoming with the public about their discovery in more than one location. when it comes to the apparent lack of concern for national security and another example a former secret service agents says biden's regular joe image was his only concern as v.p. it's pretty unbelievable. i imagine, though, we'll hear from the former president or somebody representing him sooner or later. he was the only person who could declassify those. >> absolutely. that i think is something that the mainstream media except for of course fox have glossed over. biden had no authority to declassify let alone take these documents. now as we've been finding this deep black dark hole where we're finding all kinds of nefarious foreign funding sources and finding people with access to

these documents, ties to hunter biden. it is all painting a picture, like i said. they are more concerned with the optics and the brand than they are national security. that's pretty concerning considering that you have the commander-in-chief with access to the nuclear codes. what in the heck are we as americans supposed to count on if not what is coming out of the white house? i think it's clear we can't count on them. that's why i think you are going to see for the next two years a real focus coming out of the house of representatives on national security. i think that's why we'll see the senate flip and americans will say we're sick and tired of this so-called every man, joe biden persona he has tried to take on. he seems more concerned with what ice cream flavor he is picking than our borders. that's what people are concerned about and they are not addressing the national security or economic implications of what they're doing. >> harris: his former president

helped him mightily in the end and it will be interesting to see was obama complicit and knew about those papers? or did he know nothing about it and what will he do next? i do think it's an important part of the story and so is what you are talking about. everybody being held accountable. biden's document scandal is pretty bad and could get worse, we don't know. the next story is beyond horrific. you mentioned it, congresswoman, the administration's open border policy allowing gangs and cartels to move freely and now deep into the united states. police are saying they believe cartel members killed this young mother and her baby. she was just 16 years old. her son nicholas ten months old. a monster shot them both in the head. also killed the baby's grandmother and great grandmother. a total of six people in the home murdered in what police are calling a cartel-style execution. the slaughter happened in the small central california town of

goshen, near fresno. it looks like a cartel would do this sort of thing. where are the cartels coming from? the border. >> you know, harris, you and i have talked about this at length before. it is pretty wild to think that the cartels control 40% of mexico as we know it. not just territory, but critical parts of their government and infrastructure. if you have an entity that is control 40% of your country you have a real problem on your hands. we know the cartels subcontract out some of the more nefarious aspects of their work to gangs here in the united states. i've heard the horror stories and i met a 15-year-old with a 2-year-old daughter recruited through facebook targeted advertisements, paid the cartels half of the money through facebook and whatsapp and was told she would have to work it

off for the remainder of the money. when i said what happens if you don't work it off? which we know what that means. she said i've been told there could be problems. we know what those problems are. that's when you see these horrific murders, assaults, the young people that are being recruited and basically trafficked across the united states now. these are horrific things happening all as a result of the open border policies by joe biden. >> harris: congresswoman, great to have you in "focus." thank you, we'll bring you back. you are looking at the ukrainian president zelensky who is in davos addressing the world economic forum. let's watch for a bit. >> telling us how to build -- i'm talking online now and to topic is how to -- in a divided

war -- [inaudible] the war cannot keep the peace with changes and challenges. the risks of global security, food security, energy must be amended in another way. this is the time for -- [inaudible] it needs to be expanded with one more. the call for spirit. the spirit of decisions making. creation of the civilized war. tragedies are outpacing life. the tyranny is outpacing the democracy. russia needed less than one second to start the war. the war needed days to react

with sanctions. the time -- [inaudible] is used by the terrorist state to kill. ukraine has been resisting for almost a year. we drew positive results. the opening of the european waters, the grain deal, the end of the -- together they saved millions of lives and not only in ukraine. it is not only in ukraine but the whole world needs exactly these decisions. the war was -- [inaudible] in russia without recitation occupied crimea. the war was hesitant where

russia without hesitation may the world must not hesitate today and ever. the war resulted. russia is exporting terror, russia is spreading that war. the war must make faster than russia makes it -- [inaudible] the war must outpace the next military mobilization of our joint enemy. the supplying of ukraine with air defense systems must outpace russia. the supplies of tanks must outpace russian tanks. security and peace in ukraine must outpace russia's attacks on

security and peace in that regard. military crimes must prevent -- the [inaudible] must out do the spread of the russian aggression. we take for granted -- for us the fact of life is the world in need of -- [inaudible]. ladies and gentlemen, three years ago with a was my first time. the war is fought and won. now the war is fighting against putin. in three years we will be

discussing new challenges and threats in davos. what will we see? we will definitely overcome the current threat. if history repeats itself, the world fails to notice or underestimate a threat, then the war wins every time. the same outcome. the world overcame, the apartheids, the indifference in planet changes, financial crisis and the kremlin strength. the world will overcome again. this is how much can be said in a matter of minutes and how much can be under stood in a matter

of minutes. the world will overcome again. the time is now to make it happen faster. [applause] >> world economic forum you saw the ukrainian president on the heels of what we know from our own reporting at fox. nate foye is on the story, 100 ukrainian troops arriving at fort sill, oklahoma yesterday training on the patriot air defense system. the u.s. army air defense artillery school there. you heard zelensky calling for more expeditious help in the war against russia. that was kind of his bottom line there. a lot going on right now as we hit the next phase and the next phase and the next phase as putin continues to come. he has recently named a new

general that comes from his internal military who always wanted to lead the mission after several leadership failures and so this intensifies. what everyone is praying for at this point is there can be a solution where the war can end. not the least of which is zelensky. at this point, though, what only is possible is more help and that's what he is asking for expeditiously. the back drop is how america is involved, yes. a lot of money sent for resources there. but also now training on american soil. putin, russia's dictator has said is that an escalation? he is looking at it as one. we'll cover the story and bring you the news as it happens. liberal outrage now front and center after arizona senator kyrsten sinema spoke out once again about ditching the democratic party. >> january 6th was a horrible day from two years ago. created i think concern and fear for every patriotic american

across the country. but in the resulting two years, the democratic party shared a narrative that said we would not have anymore free and fair elections in this country if the united states congress didn't eliminate the filibuster and pass a massive voting rights package. as we all know, the fill best buster was not eliminated and the voting rights bill was not passed through congress. >> harris: she is telling the world what is wrong about the left. the left as you can imagine pounced on senator sinema's remarks and the high five with joe manchin. this from social media. after manchin and sinema chose to stand with the g.o.p. and refused to repeal the filibuster the child tax credit expired and child poverty increased, 3.7 million more children were forced into poverty. yeah, high fives all around horrid.

they're mad at her. jason riley, "wall street journal" columnist and fox news contributor, kevin walling former biden campaign surrogate. great to see you both. the high five the moment. kevin, your reaction. >> it is wild to see that coming out of davos. everything senator sinema says now is through the lens of political survival. i knew her when she was in the house and like her a great deal. she has been able to deliver on some bipartisan compromises when it comes to the infrastructure bill and the marriage bill. everything she is doing and saying to guard against a challenge from the left in just two years, a house member has indicated he wants to challenge her. i think everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt with what senator sinema is saying overseas. >> harris: it's interesting. maybe that creates an opening for somebody else from a

different party to step up if they want to fight within their own party. >> perhaps that's true. i the end to agree that the first rule of electoral politics is self-preservation. she is worried about a challenge back home and she might have some disagreements with her party ideologically, the fact of the matter is she is going to keep her committee assignment and continue to vote for the president's nominees. she voted with joe biden 90% of the time last congress. i expect that to continue. this really is about local politics back home. she thinks she might have a better chance of winning as an independent because she is unpopular with democrats. >> harris: it is true, the politics in arizona and other places as california empties out and people go east are changing as well. and 9/10 of the law is you are

in the seat already. we'll see how it works out. why do it so publicly, though? that was my big thing. you are on a world stage talking economics and talking about a filibuster. >> you know, the other thing she might be thinking of, again this has to do with the next election, is that the democrats will have to defend twice as many seats as republicans in 2024. and if republicans do take back the senate, you know, maybe she will be better positioned as that scenario plays out. again, i think it is about politics not necessarily ideology. >> harris: critics are tearing into john kerry was crazy talk in davos. here is the climate czar. >> it's so almost extraterrestrial to think about folks saving the planet. if you said that to most people, most people think you would

think a crazy tree hugging leftist do-gooder but really that's where we are. >> harris: he things aliens will save us? larry kudlow with this. >> mr. kerry gives the usual doom and groom rift. we won't cut fossil fuels fast enough to save the planet. he blamed the recent rainstorm floods in california as proof positive. once again showing climate are lambists have never be able to distinguish between yesterday's weather and long-term climate change. >> harris: do we have the picture with the private jets? you know how he rolls. we don't know how he got there. he has a lot of friends with jet. maybe he flew commercial. hypocrisy is a problem. people are being forced to live by rules the richest among us

refuse to live by. >> i think you are right, harris. i think one of the good things that happened during covid unfortunately was the fact that so many of these conferences were moved online and you saw for the first time you could see the bottom of venice waterways because of the lack of carbon in our environment. when you see the private jets flying into davos for this part of it is a climate conversation conference, you see hypocrisy front and center. and i hope we move some of these conversations more online. but we're not going to move the ball down the field whatsoever until we hold the biggest polluters like china and india accountable. secretary john kerry is trying to do that hopefully at this conference. >> harris: you think you'll hold china accountable? look how long it is been. wake china and shake the world

napoleon said. you think you'll control china? you won't. >> you're right. hopefully if we can force some world action and hold their feet to the fire. >> harris: hope is not a strategy. jason. >> there is a serious side here. it is easy to make fun of kerry and the narcissism coming out of this crowd about saving the planet but bad actors like putin are watching this play out and want to take advantage of this naresism. what is going on in germany is a cautionary tale on the agenda of the environmentalists. it doesn't work. when you do that you find yourself in the situation europe is in right now. there is a serious side to what's going on that the left is ignoring. >> harris: california being told you need all electric-run vehicles by 2035 and over summer

you can't plug in the ones you do have. thank you both. president biden may have said the pandemic is over but his administration doesn't seem to want to go along with that. they can't let go of all the restrictions. it is obvious, they won't. now they are going to court to fight. critics want answers from president biden over the classified documents drip, drip. >> i guess in the democrats' world we're supposed to just accept the word of biden's personal attorney and say the left is making much of it was only 20 documents? we have to take that at face value now. >> harris: so will biden sit down with a special counsel investigating the president's document scandal? hum.

>> harris: it's a habit. the white house regularly dodging questions on the president's classified document scandal. why wouldn't they? it has to be painful. this one sticks out. given the president's promise to lead the most transparent administration in american history. >> would the president sit for an interview with the special counsel? >> we won't get ahead of that. we won't speculate what they may or may not want or ask for. so i'm not going to comment on that at this time and would refer you over to d.o.j. on their process and their thinking in terms of how to conduct their own investigation. >> harris: i wrote that part down. the special counsel may not want to talk to the president. [shouting] >> harris: so amazing. those comments coming after the

moment we're watching and listening to in the oval office. all the shouting. president biden smirking and laughing as reporters press for answers. >> will you commit to talking to the special counsel? >> thank you, let's go. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> i looked him straight in the eye and he didn't say a word, will you commit to speak to the special counsel. looked at me and didn't say a word. >> harris: shannon bream anchor of "fox news sunday" good to see you. i wrote it down like i said. the special counsel may or may not want to talk to president biden. i feel like that's somewhat of a setup. am i wrong? you are a legal genius here. why wouldn't they want to talk to the president? >> he might be overstating it. they want to keep all lines open so however they handle this they have left all the options on the table. if i am the president's

attorneys, though, his personal attorney not the special counsel that is now investigating him, my attorney hat on i would say don't talk to anyone until you have to. until the special counsel that's investigating the president comes to his team and say we need to sit down with him. even then there can be negotiating about that. i would say his team is not going to be in a hurry to put him in the same room with an investigator. >> harris: it's a game now. >> a little bit. >> harris: government watchdog has filed a federal complaint over the white house counsel's office involvement. a quote. the american public will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice. president biden promised the most transparent administration in history. if there was possible mishandling of documents we could witness a serious betrayal of the public's already plummeting trust.

jim jordan echoed that call. >> this is about the double standard that i think is so evident to the american people. one set of rules for secretary clinton and one set for joe biden a different set for president trump. anyone can see that as well. we want the equal application of the law for goodness sake. frankly, we would like some transparency. >> harris: how does this play for biden politically? >> i think because this administration and this president have specifically pledged to be as transparent as possible. the most transparent administration is history, the spotlight is on them. when they have a troublesome moment to live up to that promise. lindsey graham and they referenced secretary clinton association with the investigations. graham said she bleached it to make things untraceable. hammers used on hard copies of things. there was also a disappearance

of 30,000 emails that were under subpoena at the time. that gets to this perception among the public they're worried there are different classes of treatments for if one of us was walking around. you have cited and many of these cases of people not president its or former cabinet members caught with document taking them to a hotel room or to a home with no ill intent have wound up in prison. people want to believe our system, law enforcement agencies vastly filled with principled amazing men and women will treat all of us the same way as americans. >> harris: real quickly it took -- you are talking about a troublesome moment we're in now. could be more than that. we know the disaster at the border took two years for the president to turn an eye in that direction. so if he wants to build trust among the american people it will take more than a few words to fix it. he has got to show it. walking around with code word classified documents.

that is not a good look, either. >> we wouldn't get away with it. >> harris: no, absolutely not. the biden administration is fighting to reinstate federal mask mandates for travel months after the president declared the pandemic was over. you remember. >> president biden: the pandemic is over. no one is wearing masks, everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. i think it is changing and this is a perfect example of it. >> harris: yesterday in court the department of justice pushed to appeal an april decision which struck down that federal mask mandate. florida congressman brian mast points out if you want to wear a mask on a plane no one is stopping you. we aren't going back to mandates period. >> we'll see what the federal court has to say about that. this administration is arguing that way back in april of 2021 a district judge says the cdc doesn't have the authority to this mandate. all the public transportation you have to wear a mask and you

may remember depending how you felt about it i was at the airport. there were some cheers. pilots say if you want to wear a mask do that, if you don't, do that. respect each other. what the government was arguing yesterday in court was essentially we should have the power to bring that mandate back if we feel like it is appropriate, give us back the power. we'll see what they say. one step below the supreme court. >> harris: can they stop president bidden from fancying himself a doctor? he seems to know when pandemics are over. >> we'll have to see what the court thinks. >> harris: is that where the confusion in the biden house old is? always good to see you. happy new year.

>> harris: well, more and more parents now are really angry.

the number of schools in fairfax county, virginia holding back students' merit awards is creeping. it is now at 13. students not getting those awards in time to apply for scholarships in college. the state's attorney general is trying to get to the bottom of it all. fox business's lydia hu with more. this affects kids' future, it is heartbreaking. >> that's right. the superintendent of fairfax county schools is speaking with parents now and she says she understands why they are angry. students were deprived of the chance to include this merit status on their college applications. now at first you may remember that when we were told about this issue it was blamed on human error, unique mistake. now we know that the failure to notify happened at multiple schools and the superintendent blames a lack of a standardizef years.

>> we don't har all principals and all staff. we will within the next month. >> that commendation would help an application, right? >> i think that there is a belief that it would help an application possibly. >> now parents are outraged. a parent of a student who was not notified in time to include the merit status on his college application says that this is a sign that public schools are not focusing on academic excellence. >> if academics was the first thing these school system were focused on there wouldn't be a delay giving out the awards. they would have wanted to hand them out as soon as they got them. >> we continue to learn the scale of this issue right now we have more than a dozen schools across three counties, dozens of students failed to have been notified about their merit status. virginia state attorney general is investigating and he wants to know whether any students were discriminated against in this

failure to notify them of their national merit status. thomas jefferson high school ii population. >> harris: lydia, no doubt a lot of parents across the country paying attention to this. governor youngkin in a couple of hours will appear on this network on america reports with an intertrue to talk about this. he is going up against this whole thing. always has. i don't know who has the power in this but i know that he has the juice because it got him the governorship. another day, another story of a school pushing a woke agenda onto children. a district in oregon with a so-called social science curriculum for kids as young as four years old instructing them the use of neo pro nouns, the city of cambridge, massachusetts is facing backlash advertising a sports night for girl x.

the pronoun is used for a personal who identifies as a girl or girlhood. of course the poster caught fury online. on twitter one person saying this is despicable and insulting to girls' sports. another wrote this will be more unpopular than latin x and that was a horrible failure. one user saying count the way x this can go wrong. i justed in to pause so people can take this in. jimmy failla host of fox across america on the mezzanine today. >> i read this and -- >> harris: it's girl x apparently. >> get them out of here. who do we have lined up next? i'm a parent and one kid. the state wouldn't let us have two. here is the problem. i couldn't tell that joke unless he was smarter than me. he is a genius. i resent it.

stick with me. as a parent, okay, what i recognize this for is not being sold. it is being sold as tolerance and inclusion. it is recruiting. kids at that age don't get out of bed looking for trans ideology because they don't know it exists unless adults tell them. what is going on at the age of four as you know from raising kids their development is so fluid in terms of their favorite shows, favorite foods, vocabulary. this idea at this age we should introduce them to a potential conflict with a permanent resolution in the form of surgery, i just think it's reckless. i think a lot of parents were well intended go along with this because they want to look like they're tolerant and on the right side of this but it is taking place at the expense of the kids. no one can make an argument how a kid benefits from this right now. >> harris: if you put one more letter in neo pronounce, maybe

nemo. >> kids at that age should be learning to add numbers before they subtract gender, okay? that's where it's wrong. >> harris: senator ted cruz with an epic response to a wager by eric swalwell. swalwell said if the dallas cowboys feet the 49ers i won't tweet for the rest of january. if the 49ers tweet you can't tweet for the rest of january. how texan are you, ted? >> how about we bet a chinese dinner instead. a clear jab at congressman swalwell's controversial relationship with an alleged chinese spy named fang fang. he got deep and got kicked off of intel committee in the house by the new speaker over that very issue. >> i'm on board with that. if you are looking up with a

chinese spy the dating equivalent of helping a nigerian prince rescue the gold bars. a dumb move. you made us all vulnerable by doing it. it was a low blow by cruz. not only at swalwell but on a january diet now. the first thing i read in the headline chinese food sound amazing now. that's where my head went if anybody wants to know how it is going. now he will talk about dry january and we'll will be boozing. so emblematic of what twitter is. a fight club for people who don't want to get hit. anything you tweet is an invitation to a fight for somebody. it's my dog's birthday. screw the republicans, what do you mean. >> harris: a few seconds left and i will riff one here, davos, all the private jets. you have thoughts. they really want to force all electric. we can't handle the grids, most of the grids are fossil fuel. last thought for the show. >> nobody is doing what they are asking you to do. if i come and tell you it is a

no smoking show and light a cigar you will think -- >> harris: i will call you joe burrow. >> they are all a bunch of rich frauds. >> harris: thank you for watching "the faulkner focus."
