>> that's why i greet them with smiles, high fives and hugs. they go a long way. >> bill: great job. keep at it. see you in coreyville, okay? >> okay. >> sandra: thank you, good luck to you. love vernon and ellison. >> bill: here is harris, have a great weekend. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. who knows if we'll ever get straight answers from senator biden about the mystery objects in the skies that the u.s. military sent fighter jets and missiles to take down. patting us on the head apparently is a new federal policy. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." eight days between president biden's brief mention of the china spy flight in the state of the union address last week and

hastely-arranged statement yesterday about objects the biden administration spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to shoot down. >> president biden: our intelligence community is assessing all three incidents and reporting to me daily and will continue the urgent efforts to do so and i will communicate that to the congress. we don't yet know exactly what these three objects were. but nothing right now suggests they were related to china's spy balloon program. make no mistake. if any object presents a threat to the safety and security of the american people i will take it down. >> harris: so they were a threat? i mean if you just pay attention to what he said. well, critics say this is familiar. >> better late than never. this administration has a tendency, in my judgment, to ignore problems. i mean, certainly ignore

solutions. but if you won't talk about the problem it's hard to talk about a solution. >> harris: the president says he expects to speak with china's president xi about the spy flights. he says he doesn't think that any of what's been going on will hurt our relationship with the communist regime. the vice president made similar comments earlier this week. those words sound easily frightened like children's words. i wonder if our enemy china sees it that way. retired marine bob technician joey jones in focus. let's go to jacque heinrich outside the white house. >> both biden and vice president harris said that they don't expect this spy balloon incident is going to greatly impact diplomatic relations with beijing. remember china is not taking our calls now, at least not at the highest levels. we're also engaged in a bit of a sanctions tit-for-tat. china has put sanctions on two

major defense manufacturers in response to the u.s. black listing six chinese entities that are linked to their spy program. we'll see if the president and president xi will speak. in the meantime biden is defending his decision to shoot the three likely harmless objects out of the sky. >> president biden: >> we're learning from norad none other than the northern illinois balloon brigade is missing their balloon in alaska. they say that they lost a party style balloon. >> harris: i have to cut in. we have breaking news in ohio where they had the train disaster. people afraid to breathe the air and drink the water. the governor is speaking now. let's watch. >> although the testing in

approximately 75 homes did show elevated levels of vocs, further testing in those 75 homes found that contaminants of concern from the derailment were not present in those homes, were not present in those homes. so nothing from the train derailment was found in the homes. nothing was found out on the street. the monitoring will continue, however. today more than two dozen additional homes are scheduled for air testing. the teams are still taking appointments for those people in east palestine who want to schedule a screening of their home. that number is 330-849-3919. in summary in the 500 homes

where the air has been tested no contamination of concern caused by the derailment was present in any of these homes. there are in the community 20 monitors strategically located throughout the community to continue to monitor outdoor air. we have a map somewhere, i hope. there is a map there. this is a map from the usepa that shows all the places where they have taken outdoor air samples over the past two weeks. again the experts tell me these monitors are coming back clean. clean for contaminants of concern associated with the train derailment. so this monitoring started very early on. this monitoring will continue. we will continue to do this. so we have 20 monitors. these monitors are moved around

and they will continue to be moved around the community. let me now talk about water. residential well sampling. as we talked about earlier this week, the testing results from east palestine's municipal water source have come back and the results are that drinking water testing the five wells that go into the community system, those five wells have all come back clean. the water is safe to drink. we never thought that the municipal water was contaminated but out of an abundance of caution our ohio epa took samples that were analyzed and they, in fact, came back and shown to be safe. you do not need to drink bottled water if you are on municipal water. if you get your water from a private well, you are encouraged

to use bottled water until your water is confirmed to be safe. that again is just out of an abundance of caution. to date 38 private wells have been sampled. more private wells are scheduled for testing today. these samples unfortunately take a while to get back from the lab. so we don't have any results back yet but we expect them very, very soon to start coming back. again, to schedule testing for your private well, call 330-849-3919. let me talk now about the ohio river. when we met earlier this week, the ohio epa discussed the chemical plume in the ohio river. i'm happy to report this morning that sampleing has shown the

plume is completely dissipated. it was never thought to be a threat but they could get slight detections. i want to mention that something i learned during this is the ohio river is monitored normally very extensively. and so they were able to pick up before they were able to pick up where the plume was, it was never thought to be very high. never thought to be very dangerous, but they could detect it as it moved down river. now we're told that they cannot detect it at all. to give you some idea of the numbers. the level of concern for this contaminant is 560 parts per billion. readings yesterday when we could still get a reading on it were under three parts per billion. so again, level of concern 560.

yesterday at three. today it is at 0. levels at which this chemical was in the ohio river have always been very low. we no longer getting readings at all. i'm told that some water systems al along the ohio river will close intake lines for a while as a caution. there is no reason to be concerned about water now from the ohio river and there has never really been a reason of concern and we no longer can get any reading at all of this contaminant. let me go to the local creeks. we know there has been video played on tv circulating of visible physical contamination in one of the local waterways. a section of sulfur run that is very near the crash site remains severely contaminated. we knew this and know this. it is going to take a while to

remediate this. it will be remediated but it is certainly a place to be avoided at this point. very soon after the crash sulfur run was dammed. it was kept in there and on hold. teams are pumping clean water from the point of the eastern dam falling it away from the contaminated section of the creek and releasing it back into sulfur run at the western dam. diverting it around for the contamination, and where it is. this occurred early on. early on after the crash. this allows clean water to bypass the area of the rerailment and prevents clean water from carrying contaminants

and carrying them into waterways. the remediation of the water in the direct area of the spill will take some time just as it is taking some time to deal with the dirt. this is not a simple process. we are encouraging people to continue to avoid that area. now i know there has been a lot of questions about fema and calling in fema for aid. at this point based on what fema has told us and continues to tell us, my chief of staff talked to them again this morning, we do not qualify for assistance. although fema is synonymous with disaster support, they are most typically involved with disasters where there is tremendous home or property damage, tornadoes, flooding, hurricanes. that's why we do not expect fema will come to east palestine. however, to make sure that if in the future -- if in the future

fema is ever needed, we want to preserve our rights to be able to ask them for help. so to make sure that fema is ever needed in the future to help residents we'll preemptively file a document with fema preserve our rights if we need their assistance in the future. we believe that the railroad should continue to pay. we will insist that they pay whatever damages have been caused, the railroad is responsible for those damages. we are filing this paper with fema just in case in the future we need that. let's say the railroad stops paying for whatever reason we'll still go after the railroad but we want to make sure that there will be support for people if that support does, in fact, stop from the railroad.

let me move now to hhs. we know the science indicates that this water is safe, the air is safe. but we also know very understandably that residents of east palestine are concerned. they ask themselves -- they might have a headache, they might ask themselves is this a head or is it one caused by the train derailment, or other medical symptoms they may be experiencing caused by the train derailment. these are very legitimate questions. residents deserve an answer. they have suffered a great deal. this has been a traumatic time for them. this has been a horrific train

derailment and we understand, you know -- have some understanding of what they've gone through. we have asked for medical experts from the united states department of health and human services, to come to east palestine. this request has now been granted by hhs. we are establishing -- we are now going to establish in the next several days a clinic in east palestine, a clinic that will be established by the ohio department of health. we will get assistance and help from hhs. we want them to be able to engage with the residents of east palestine. we want them to be able to answer the residents' questions, evaluate symptoms, provide their medical expertise.

the people who will come in -- we expect them in early next week -- will also have access to the best experts in the world in regard to chemical exposures. again, we are doing this because we know the concern that has been expressed by so many of the residents. a doctor spent a few days there. he talked to a number of residents. other members of our team have talked to residents. we know the concern that they have. that's they are very understandable and they deserve answers. working with the ohio department of health and the u.s. and ohio epa, they plan to begin seeing patients early next week.

information on the location of the clinic and the hours it will be available, that will be available as soon as we have them. it will be on the website at ema.ohio.gov/east palestine. again, that is ema.ohio.gov/east palestine. so we expect them to come to town probably on monday and we'll be in the process of putting that clinic together. again, we know there are some people who do not have insurance. we also know that we have people who may not even have a primary doctor. we want to make sure they have a place to go. a central place where they can

go to get help. again, this is not based on anything that we are seeing in the sampling of the air, not based on anything we're seeing in the sampling of the water. the water is good to drink if it is coming from the municipal water system. the air, we will continue to monitor the air but so far we've seen nothing in regard to the air out of the ordinary. but we will continue to do that. we know that this whole last several weeks has taken a tremendous toll on residents in east palestine and it has been a traumatic experience for all of them. working with the county, alcohol, drug and mental health board we're supporting a number of local -- local mental health resources.

ema.ohio.gov/east palestine there is information. in addition to these local resources, the ohio caroline is open 24 hours a day and staffed with train mental health professionals there to listen and to help. all calls are free and confidential. they can also connect you with local resources if follow-up care is, in fact, needed. i will ask in a moment director laura to talk about this. i have asked dr. vander hoff the director of the ohio department of health to join us and ask him now to talk a little bit about what is coming up in the future and may also reflect on what he has seen when he has been in east palestine. doctor. >> thank you very much, governor. thankfully as the governor has

described very well, extensive testing of the air in east palestine, as well as testing of the municipal water sources has been very reassuring and further testing of the private water sources is ongoing. thus far, as the governor outlined very thoroughly, we have simply not found elevations of these volatile organic compounds that would lead us to suspect any significant risk related to the tested air and water. nevertheless, i and my colleagues have been on site and in the community talking with so many members of the community and as a result of that, we know, as the governor described, that some people continue to have concerns, perhaps even after seeing their doctor, and

we know there are other members of the community who really do not have a regular doctor. we also know that many medical providers who are in that area would really value support from medical experts who are deeply knowledgeable about how to address questions people have related to their concerns about a potential exposure. so with all of these concerns in mind, we have worked very closely with the local community, of course our state agencies and national partners to bring enhanced clinical support along the lines of what the governor described in very good detail to that greater east palestine community. now, in partnership with local providers, providers who include the chealth department.

>> harris: this is the ohio public health director repeating some things the governor told us and i want to work with that new information now and welcome in "focus" for the first time michael, a republican ohio state senator who represents east palestine. great to have you on the program. no doubt you were just watching that. that's really the first extensive list of facts for citizens there that we have seen. what is your first reaction from what you heard now from the governor of your state? >> good morning, harris. i have think a lot of things he said really hit home. i really like the clinic opening up. i think we have to address the mental health aspect of it. some of the things i don't agree on but i think for the most part -- >> harris: what don't you agree on. >> i have been there four times. i live ten minutes away from ground 0. every time i leave a get a sore throat. >> harris: there you go. >> i don't agree with that.

>> harris: they say they have done everything they can and tested 500 homes. something stuck out to me, though. if you have a well, you should be drinking battled water. they needed to tell people that immediately. we had a guest on, a young dad extremely concerned because he lives could see them. let's watch this together. senator. let'watch. >> what the epa there on site and the cleanup of this massive crash, of all the chemicals spilled everywhere and the continuation of them removing cars and there are still being chemicals spilled as they demolish the cars to haul them off site. they dug the trench. lit the flares, burned the chemicals off and now all the chemicals are in the ground. >> harris: he is worried about

water. he wasn't just the governor planning to drink bottled water. he is telling people if you have a well you need to do that, too. if you want to get your well tested call the 330 number that we'll put on the screen. i don't understand top down why the federal government isn't on the ground going house to house at this point. >> the federal government is nowhere to be found. i am there a lot. there are so many different problems with this situation. i suggest that anyone inside of this city or within 3 or 4 miles don't drink the water. drink only bottled water. don't bathe in the water. if you have the means, i strongly suggest you get a hotel. i think it will be months of soil testing, air testing and water testing. i think you have to have journals. you have to have a medical journal on yourself of how you were before the accident and how you are after the accident. and i think every time they come and they do a sampling of your soil or your water or your air,

you need to log that. if they come with equipment, use your phone and take a picture of the data that they are producing. it is really hard to believe the government that everything is just okay. i am having trouble with that especially because i'm on the ground. >> harris: you know it's interesting because it is your state government and what you are saying is you need help. and i know critics have been livid over transportation secretary pete buttigieg's long-delayed response to this crisis. it is like it's not every en happening. for him i guess it's not. >> i think the secretary of transportation needs to resign. marco rubio was right on. his response is the last straw. he has proven over the last two years he is incompetent for the job. they call him pothole pete for a reason. he should not be in this position. he has not even come close to being near ground 0. he should be ashamed. >> harris: you are right about what senator marco rubio said. you have now said it stronger

and here is the response from buttigieg. he hit twitter to respond but first then seeming somewhat down playing the crisis. watch. >> there is clearly more that needs to be done. while this horrible situation has gotten particularly high amount of attention, there are roughly 1,000 cases a year of a train derailing. >> harris: it sounds like a lie there would be something like what you are experiencing, 1,000 times a year in the united states. that just doesn't sound -- this is of epic proportions. what is your reaction? >> we all saw the video and we all saw that explosion, we all saw what went in the air and even seen the pictures from the sky from above the clouds how it penetrated the atmosphere. this is a party that is supposed to be about the environment and they are nowhere to be found. let me tell you, it doesn't matter what political party you

are in east palestine right now. they care about human life. i have single moms that have 4 or 5 kids living next to the railroad track crying in the streets. it is so much worse than the federal government understands. for him to say that is irresponsible. just being a human being, to be honest with you, harris. >> harris: before i let you go, i want to hit this. the governor dewine talked about this. there are pictures all over twitter last night of water that looked like something really bad was floating in it. people would throw a rock into the water and these videos and stuff would bubble up that you couldn't even describe. apparently that is something that he says they knew about. there is a section of a creek called sulfur run near the crash site severely contaminated but damed off early on. why didn't we know that before? >> anyone watching this within 4

or 5 miles i would say with bottled water for months. those creeks speak very loudly. >> harris: can most people afford to do that where you are? 4700 people. not a huge area. the moms in the streets crying, single mothers. you have willing to stay in a hotel, drink bottled water. this is not a vacation. this will be expensive. you didn't plan. >> we're writing legislation right now that will take care of any of the cracks. i think the governor will sign that. i have confidence in that. mike from second harvest food bank we have loads of water going in there today. every family 25 to 30 cases of water and make sure you have hotels rooms and sampling are done in the air, soil. keep the journals. it will be at least a year before that town comes close to being back to normal. >> harris: i can think of some way you can help. second harvest food bank.

it is something many of us are dedicated to in america, food and water insecurity. i can get that out on social media. i want you to come back and update us when you can. senator, thank you and god bless you and we pray for the people in palestine and those in pennsylvania also feeling it. republican presidential hopeful nikki haley firing back at cnn don lemon. he can't keep his mouth shut. outrage over his sexist comment about haley. >> i have always made the liberals' heads explode. they can't stand the fact a minority conservative female would not be on the democratic side. >> harris: don lemon said, cnn anchor, said haley was past her prime. i pointed out yesterday he 56,

she 51. he is older than she is. it's a mess for him. vivek ramaswamy is in "focus." stay close.

i can't believe it. here we are at the let us do good village. first community like this in america. a hundred families together that lost their loved ones. the kids that lost their mom or dad protecting us. and today is the day that we're going to deliver the first beautiful home to the thornton family. some wonderful people donated. a bunch of land in land o' lakes. to let us do good village. having stood here on this same property with a shovel and now seeing a home where a family is going to move in. built all of our roads, all of our infrastructure is here. we've got several homes are under construction. and this is absolutely amazing to me. it's going to have a pool gym, rec center, beautiful facility, a movie theater where the folks, again, can live and heal and grow together.

to see it completely done, to see it fully furnished, it's a blessing to be able to get a home like this. my children struggle a lot, but i feel like this community will bring a closeness with other children that are struggling with the same thing that they are. this is going to be my home. if you look around, can you just imagine the families like minded folks? that's going to be here. here at the let us do good village, we can bring all those folks together. this is something that america is missing. people seeing these things happen inspire others to do good. we need to take care of our gold star families. tunnel to towers does that. this is a foundation that you should be a part of because not just helping me, but there's so many people like me that need help. this time next year, we hope to have another dozen houses done with another dozen families in. it's a way to say thank you to the americans that paid and made the ultimate sacrifice. every inch of this community has meaning.

prime. lemons' remark was referring to haley's push for competency testing for politicians older than 75. >> i wasn't sitting there saying sexist middle age cnn anchors need to have mental competency tests. he may have just proven that point. the liberals can't stand the fact that i am a republican and i am a conservative and you know what? it rolls off my shoulders. >> harris: well, here is his original comment from yesterday which has angered all of life. >> this whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable. i think it's the wrong road to go down. she says people politicians not in their prime. nikki haley isn't if her prime. when a woman is considered to be in her prime is 20s, 30s, maybe 40s. not according to me. >> prime for what? >> depends. prime, if you look it up. if you google when is a woman in her prime it will say 20s, 30s,

40s. >> harris: oh my goodness. he is googling women because democrats can't define them. later that day he tweeted quote, the reference i made to a woman's prime this morning was inartful and irrelevant as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out. i regret it. a woman's age doesn't define her personally or professionally. that's how he sounds in my head. many saying not good enough. one user with this is not an apology. how about directing this to the woman you insulted? another with it was wrong. i apologize to nikki haley and any other woman who was rightfully offended and shade. don, you weren't even drunk for this one. the "new york post" cover with this. cnn pulls lemon off the air for

a few days of paid leave. vivek ramaswamy executive chainman of strive magment. there is not enough snark for this but there shouldn't be any. this is serious stuff. why would he do that? >> i think it's another senseless act and it is some of it is not even -- can't be explained. >> harris: he has no credibility. >> he had no credibility before. part of the deeper problem in our media. the same people who mainstream media get promoted to speak out have no grounding in principle in the issues they engage on. i care about the substance of it. one of the more interesting proposals she made that i like is the idea of term limits for elected officials. take it out of the age debate. you fix on age. what is the principle here?

fresh blood running the country. i would go one step further than she did. it's not even elected officials that are the problem. if only they were the ones who ran the government. let's take that same idea to the management in the federal government. if you worked for the government for eight years you shouldn't be there any more and the president shouldn't be there for more than eight years. a lot of media commentators are a side show to stop us talking about the real thing. >> harris: 50 years working in politics biden wouldn't be in office if that were the case and it would be really interesting and it is totally in concert with the nikki haley i know if they did sit down together. the fact he has a paid leave might suggest executives are thinking about him right now. >> yeah. well said. >> harris: what his next steps

are. "the new york times" is standing up to backlash over coverage critical of gender transition surgeries for children. executive editor sent a memo to employees warning them about protesting the newspapers coverage of the topic. 200 of their own journalists and contributors accuse the outlet of editorial bias over the pieces. the times in recent years treated gender diversity with a mix of pseudo science and charged language while publishing reporting on trans children that oh mitts its sources. one op-ed now argues these radical activist are trying to silence all debate about transgender kids. another, commends the times for not caving on its coverage so far adding if the paper's pandering past is prologue it --

>> i think they're most likely to bend the knee. it's the way it goes. we have the new secular religion of gender ideology increasingly infecting every sphere of american life. it doesn't air enough of the opposing view that stands up to this gender ideology and how do they keep pulling them in one direction is the most vocal activists with sway over the organization keep pushing this emotion to continue bending the knee to the new secular religion. they are required to -- for years a lot of activists said the sex of the person you are attracted to was hardwired on the day you were born. now the same movement by getting more letters to its alphabetic soup. the own biological sex is fluid over the course of your lifetime. we have to debate logical

incompatible of those contentions. how do they prevent it from happening? it's a culture of fear and sad to see. >> harris: either they were wrong and trying to correct themselves the woke folk now or they changed the game and changed the rules to fit their conversation as they go along. either way it doesn't help the lgbtq community. it doesn't help the people they say they are trying to help. it is mass confusion and anger in the stew and it hurts the people who they say need protecting. all right. after all of that, i don't think what i'm about to ask you will be a shock and if anybody follows you on social media they know. considering a 2024 presidential run people are talking about you doing that. there is buzz in your social about people wanting you to do it. what are you going to do, vivek? >> i'm giving it serious consideration. when hundreds of people ask you to take on idea it is hard to

shake off lightly. i take it seriously and expect to make a decision in the near term. to me this isn't about the question of whom. not about me or any other individual. the question of the what and why. what does this country stand for and the conservative movement in this country stand for? we have a national identity crisis in america today. you ask people my age or any age what it means to be an american in the year 2023 you get a blank stare in response. i'm on a mission to deliver evan answer to that question. revive the basic rules of the road from merit to free speech to democratic self-governance. those are the basic rules of the road that i think most americans agree on. i'm giving thought to whether or not pursuing the presidency is the best and most effective way of advancing that vision of american national identity. that's what i think we're missing. >> harris: if you do run for the republican nomination that will be a lot of fodder for all the debates and make it spicy all those things you just talked

about. not that they wouldn't be anyway. it is a fresh voice and i can see why people are talking about it. keep us posted. i know you will vivek, thank you. the white house is in full defense mode not that that's new. this time it's blowing off concerns about president biden's age after ambassador haley took that veiled shot. they are still talking about it. >> one more time on nikki haley's comment. the american public decides and becomes clear there is a broad desire to have a competency test for all of the candidates above the age of 75. would the president do that? >> i won't get into hypotheticals from here. >> harris: yesterday the president had his physical and the doctor declared him healthy and vigorous. voters and majority of democrats don't buy any of that. hi, i'm . did you know there's only been two times in american history - two - when the national debt was larger

[shouted questions] >> president biden: that's a great asset. more inflation. you are a stupid son of a bleep. >> harris: told you he cusses at reporters. power panel. doug collins, and kevin walling. great to see you both. kevin, i will come to you. it is hard to defend the indefensible. go ahead and try. what would you advise biden at this point? >> well, i would say many times

biden just let biden be biden. >> harris: you are good with him? >> i'm supporting him for re-election. that's the give and take of the president and the white house. the last president used to give it and take it with the white house press corps quite a bit calling them stupid idiots. walking out and banning reporters with negative coverage from white house grounds like ma major -- he talked about his questions. >> harris: that's an interesting argument, doug considering the fact that democrats say the reason they were so in love with joe biden was because he would be different from the man they can't stop saying the name of, donald trump. we got -- what did we get? we got a look at what happens when people actually start to

cover you. trump had all the time. >> look, i appreciate my friend kevin. it is not an enviable position. i wouldn't want to do it. he turned around and walked off. then he stopped, looked lost for a second and they started yelling questions. here is the part concerning to the american people. they are used to presidents like donald trump and barack obama and bush going -- clinton and others, reagan, who actually would parry back and forth with reporters and handle the yelling of the questions and then they would pick somebody and answer the question. he doesn't have control of the room. he comes across frankly as a grumpy old man. if that's biden being biden he is a grumpy old man not liking to deal with the press. people are used to presidents and press fighting back and forth not just one who walks off suddenly. >> harris: president biden got a

clean bill of health after the physical yesterday. with all the calls yesterday about -- comments about his age, 80 years old and commander-in-chief prepares for an expected re-election campaign. he hasn't announced yet. white house is on defense being peppered with questions about the president's age. let's watch. >> nikki haley is calling for mental competency tests for politicians 75 and up. does the president have any response to that statement? >> not going to speak to her directly and her comments specifically. they said the president couldn't do it in 2020 and attacked him there and he beat them. in 2021 when he entered the white house -- >> harris: reverse order now, doug. >> look, he will be running. who else do they have? that's the problem the democrats have now. they look around and joe biden

is the best they got. a scary thought. per section is reality, harris. that's the one thing we have to understand. the perception is reality. they see these kind of things going on. he gets to the teleprompter and they fight and the teleprompter wins. that's a perception hard to shake with the american people as they go forward. >> harris: quickly this was something that dealt with national security. we had spying from china, our enemy. then a few days later we were shooting stuff down with hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money and now he won't tell us what all of that was about. real quickly, kevin. >> well, that's why it was important the president came out and spoke to that. as you saw he ordered that one shot down. >> harris: what about the questions he walked away from? >> the midge magestic or tee of that material from the balloon and running assessments and game planning more of a tragedy with

regards to the balloons. the three balloons he took out more recently were threats to air traffic and that was the right call by the military. >> harris: he walked away from the people who actually asked the questions, the journalists. quick. >> he called peter alexander right back afterwards. >> harris: he sat down with one he liked. i'll bring you back. we're out of time. we had breaking news with ohio. you will come back. "outnumbered" is after the break. have a great weekend. aww. [ audience cheers ] maybe try switching your car insurance to progressive. you could save hundreds.
