welfare system but in particular foster care children and she really focuses on those aging out of the system. when you become 18 you are out of the system. half of them become homeless. she is trying to fix that. they is my first guess on everything will be okay. >> bill: episode one of the next season, right? here we go. >> dana: good to see you. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. americans are bracing for what it all means for our cash. three days two monthsive banks collapses. president biden a short time ago this morning addressed the nation about the epic failures and who will pay for rescuing the big banks this time. he is trying to instill confidence in the system and tamp down any possible con age

---what happened friday when silicon valley bank fell. svb, a top choice for tech start-ups, with more than $2 hundred billion in assets at the time. that makes it the second largest bank failure in american history behind the washington mutual meltdown in 2008. we had a great recession then. the president now keeps saying we're not headed for a recession. a host of companies affected include household names like etsy and fit bit. all deposits at the failed bank will be available today. investors knew the risk and should not be protected. yes, the fdic is up to $250,000. if you invested in the banking institutions you just lost your

cash. when biden was vice president, taxpayers were on the hook for bank bail-outs. they used our cash to bail out the big guys. the administration may be looking to avoid backlash for doing that this time. >> president biden: customers can rest assured that he will be protected and accessed to their money. no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. let me repeat that. no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. >> harris: he only talked for a couple of minutes but still found time to blame trump. he blamed the trump administration for rolling back certain requirements for banks. a quick victory lap made its way into his comments. charles payne was not impressed. >> if all this free money cascading in the economy and sparked the inflation crisis that forced jay powell to come

to the rescue we wouldn't be in the position like this in the first place. when you hear president biden brag about these things the sugar high is wearing off and this is the ugly stuff that's left of that. >> harris: no sugar high. in "focus" steve moore, a former trump economic advisor, first to peter doocy live in san diego where the president is headed now. peter. >> as this was unfolding we were in the briefing room on friday white house officials were telling us they did not know what the plan was for deposits up to $250,000 or more. now they know the plan. wealthy inhave -- investors won't be getting their money back. people who deposited money in the banks will be protected. >> president biden: thanks to the quick action of my administration americans can have confidence that the banking system is safe. your deposits will be there when you need them. small businesses across the

country that deposit accounts at these banks can breathe easier knowing they will be able to pay their workers and pay their bills. the hard working employees can breathe easier as well. >> patrick mchenry says this was the first quitter fueled bank run. it is important to remain level headed and look at facts not speculation. i have confidence in our financial regulators and protections already in place to insure the safety and soundness of our financial system. and the way the president has been going so far has some bipartisan support. >> we do not want to bail out venture capitalists, period, end of story. we don't want to hurt the depositer who put the money in there. it is not their fault. it is the bank's faults. if we can do this without using taxpayer dollars i think that is the appropriate response.

>> president biden wants to come here to san diego to talk to the leaders of the u.k. and australia about a big nuclear sub deal. there are california-specific issues that are becoming presidential problems. you have this svb collapse and also just yesterday there was migrant boat that capsized not far from where the president will be today, eight migrants are dead, two more missing. harris. >> harris: peter doocy, thank you very much. steve moore, chief economist at freedom works and former trump economic advisor. great to talk with you today. my first question for you has to do with what went wrong and why did signature here in new york do something similar or did they? >> yeah, harris, great to be with you. by the way, i agree with the president we don't have an overall banking crisis. the system is sound but i think you have a lot of major banks in some trouble, harris.

svb, the silicon valley bank, may be the tip of the iceberg here. i think it's important for people to understand how this potential banking crisis happened. it is not because there aren't enough bank regulators, as biden is trying to say. it is because of the massive inflation and the trillions and trillions of dollars of borrowing that the federal government has done that has put our financial system in great jeopardy and peril. you can't keep doing this month after month after month year after year borrowing trillions and trillions of dollars. so what happened because of the biden spending and debt policies, is that not only did inflation go up but interest rates have gone up. as you know the fed has had to raise interest rates 8 or 9 times and talking about more interest rate increases to come. that's caused a lot of financial problems for these big banks as the interest rates go up. >> harris: that's interesting.

i was reading recently how people are pulling out of -- you put $5 thousand on a house and think you want to buy it. they are willing to let the money burn to walk away from the deal for the $3 hundred thousand house now. they don't want to be on the hook. that affects banks. you aren't taking out loans and parking your money with this bank. how about this part? >> that's a great point. you were exactly right about that. that's separate from this particular crisis, which is the rising interest rates that are impacting the bottom line of the banks but then you have the parallel problem and you are right, harris, we have a trillion dollars of consumer debt out there. you have trillions of additional dollars of mortgage debt. with those higher interest rates people will have a hard time making those payments and that puts the banks at risk as well. >> harris: wow, reports that silicon valley bank gave out company-wide bonuses just hours

before it collapsed and had some backward priorities even before the failure. here is a quote. while silicon valley bank collapsed top executives pushed woke problems. the execttive in question ahead of risk management. business founders and lawmakers alike are going after the bank. let's watch real quick. >> i feel bad for all these people that lost all their money in this woke bank. who knows whether the justice department will go after them? they are a woke company so i guess not. and they'll probably get away with it. >> we see now coming out they were one of the most woke banks in their quest for the esg-type policy and investing. this could be a trend. there are consequences for bad democrat policies. >> harris: wait a minute. let me paint the picture here. grab your keys, grab your files. you get a check, you get a check, you get a check and we'll

toss woke out the door. that's crazy town. >> you better believe it. you are exactly right that about $5 billion of investor and depositors money went into the green energy programs that have no return. we know that these esg funds over the last couple of years have severely under performed the markets. why is this important in a broader context? you are probably following this story, harris, but biden now wants to basically require a lot of banks and investment companies to do esg investing and difvest in oil stocks. biden wants the funds to die vest of them. it had a negative effect on the bottom line of svb and also outrageous. giving out bonuses a couple of

months before they declare bankruptcy? >> harris: do you think they knew? >> well, this happened awfully quickly. i don't want to get to their motives. that money should be given back. one other quick point. biden said this isn't going to cost taxpayers anything. that's ridiculous. who will pay for the bail-outs? of course it will come from you and me. where else would it come from? >> harris: he says fees and other ways. you are talking up to $250,000 per account if people are running small businesses had that money parked there. i don't know what kind of fees they are charging but i'm curious to know how we aren't on the hook for this. your last quick thought. >> we always know these bail-outs of the banks and bail-outs of companies come right out of the pockets of taxpayers and it is unfair especially when you talk about now investing, insuring the deposits of people of millionaires and billionaires.

that's not fair to the average taxpayer. >> harris: we'll see if he keeps his promise on that. good to see you. thank you always. the growing calls to use the u.s. military to fight the deadly drug cartels south of the border. well now especially when you see the video coming up. one republican senator says president biden simply does not care. plus big reaction to the mobs of illegal immigrants who stormed the port of entry in el paso. here it is. >> this is exactly what president biden's open border policies are inviting. this is part of a plan of the cartels, the trans national organizations that get rich from human smuggling. they overwhelm the border and border patrol. >> harris: why this happened and whether the president will even address it? remember where he is, just down the road from where a migrant boat capsized killing eight of those people.

he is in the state of california. he is in the san diego area. you could just jet right to the border but apparently he will not do that today unwills something is about to happen that the white house hasn't told us. bill melugin live from the texas border with the latest. brandon judd national border patrol council president in "focus." stay close. looked at the interest rates on your credit cards lately? get ready for a shock. the rate on credit cards is now over 22%. if you want to save hundreds of dollars every month, pay off the balances on your high-rate cards with a lower rate va home loan from newday usa and get the financial peace of mind every veteran deserves. no one takes care of veterans like newday usa. ♪

>> harris: stunning new exclusive video captured by fox news at the southern border yesterday showing a huge group of more than 1,000 people pushing past mexican authorities and rushing a port of entry in el paso, texas trying to enter our nation. that would be illegal to do it

this way. we've just heard from bill melugin telling our team not one made it through that point but we know from experience and being down there and covering the story in person, they will try other porous points. this was not one. our border patrol pushed back. a stand-off in the middle of the bridge lasted for hours there. border agents responded in riot gear and used barbed wire, concrete blocks and meshed fencing to stop the onslaught. with the help of the mexican military, the people were eventually rejected. republicans say it is yet more evidence of a border which is out of control. >> you see this kind of video, our border is not secure. this is like secretary mayokas is a firefighter running away from a fire. this lawlessness has to end. it is unbelievable they are putting the lives of our border patrol at risk by allowing this

kind of thing to happen. >> harris: we need a first responder who wants to go toward the fire. bill melugin live in mission, texas, with great reporting. that video is unbelievable. our people are outnumbered. >> good morning to you. that video is wild and caused the port of entry to be shut down for several hours and didn't get involved until the m involved. look at that video exclusive to fox news showing the moment this first start evidence late yesterday afternoon. you will see the mass of hundreds of migrants pushing past mexican border guards and running onto the bridge, the main ports of entry in el paso. they start running on the bridge toward the united states in an effort to get into the u.s. it was families, single adults, little kids, all sorts of migrants. predominantly from venezuela. you will see they get to the middle of the bridge and met by

cbp who had to call in multiple special response teams and set up a squirmish line to deny entry to the migrants. they set up barricades and barbed wire and called in dozens of officers in crowd control gear. this stand-off lasted for several hours. you will see some of the migrants going face-to-face with cbp officers. from migrants involved we're told the catalyst was a lot of migrant frustration with the cbp1 app and a false rumor on facebook telling migrants they would be allowed into the united states if they showed up at the bridge yesterday. that obviously was not true. take a look at this second piece of video here. not every day you see this at a port of entry showing the law enforcement response on both sides of the border. you will see essentially two lines of mexican military patrolling the bridge on the mexican side of the border and the america will pan to the u.s. side and see the u.s. response. a serious one.

barricades, barbed wire and dozens of cbp officers set up in a squirmish line to block entry to the united states. cbp saying a large group of individuals formed on the mexican side of the border and approached the international boundary posing a potential threat to make a mass entry. the cbp response included the deployment of physical barriers to restrict entry. back out here live we're told a very large majority of those migrants were repelled and not allowed to pass through that port of entry. harris, this actually happened at two other ports of entry yesterday in el paso as well. it bled over to two other ones. the two other ports had to be temporarily shut down. so a little bit of a wide scale incident happening in el paso yesterday. send it back to you. >> harris: we are not surprised by that. they always look for the next hole they can crawl through, go over or if it happens to be a

checkpoint bum rush that. did any of those people on the bridge honestly think, i don't care what they saw on social media that there would be people with clipboards and pen to process that many people coming through? there were 15, 20 people deep across -- come on, we know what this is. this is dangerous. we don't know who is coming into the country. like you just said, bill, they will poke the bear in other sections until they get in. this is not a give-up crowd. >> look, you are right. i think some of them did think if they showed up at the bridge they would be let into the united states. keep in mind what has been happening the last couple of years. in between the ports of entry you walk across the river. there are people with clipboards waiting to take your name and ship you around the country. the ports of entry treat it different. we have never seen down in the river the federal government putting up barricades with barbed wire and guys in riot

gear before. this was definitely a different perspective yesterday. >> harris: bill melugin, great reporting. thank you very much. if you are worried about president biden's border crisis this won't help. critics slamming the press secretary with a word salad. >> we'll move forward with this kind of immigration system gutted truly gutted by the last administration. we'll do it in a humane way, a safe way, and we're going to do it in the way that moves us forward. and so what we have been seeing, what we've been dealing with again is trying to fix the damage that the last administration did. >> harris: sounded like she was talking to the people on the bridge. i couldn't make sense of that. brandon judd, president of the national border patrol council, great to see you today. first of all, your initial reaction to seeing what happened

to our sovereignty being crushed literally by people trying to get their way into the country yesterday. >> what we saw is simply because of the rhetoric we get from people like karine jean-pierre. if they continue to give this rhetoric and deflect and they continue to lie to the american public we will see reactions like this from people who want to enter our country illegally. we have to make a firm stand. if you look over the past two years there has been nothing humane, nothing has been orderly about the way this administration has dealt with illegal border crossings or border security. until we look at the laws and until we actually enforce the laws properly we will continue to see this chaos. this chaos will not end until we have the proper law enforcement policies, programs and operations in place. this administration took away everything. they robbed us of all of our policies, programs and operations from the last administration that were clearly working and they implemented something that is absolutely

unorderly and that's the problem we're seeing today. >> harris: i will get to fentanyl now. the first thing i thought of when i watched this video, if any of these emotion are being used as a mule and they have the kinds of fentanyl they've been hitting the border checkpoint down in nogales, arizona in that state with, this could have been a disaster. this is deadly, dangerous stuff that some of these people are coming across. as bill melugin talked about, some of them want that just write my name down, i want to be a citizen. not everybody. record amounts of fentanyl have poured across the border. republicans say time to take on the cartels. the push is coming after a mistaken identity. killing of two americans by the gulf cartel and mexican president calling fentanyl an american problem. >> they are killing americans on both sides of the border. and the fact is that the

american military could partner with the mexican military and the mexican police and we could wipe out the cartels. but the president of mexico refuses to do that. the truth is president biden believes in open borders. the cartels don't seem to bother him. >> harris: why in the world wouldn't the mexican government say hey, thanks america, you want to help us fight the drug cartels? what's your take? >> the mexican government doesn't want this to end. if you look at the amount of money that's coming into their economy we talk about billions of dollars from illegal immigration alone. on top of that you add onto the drug trade coming into the united states. why would the mexican government want it to end when all that money is going back into their economy? they want this to continue. they could end it tomorrow and become border security partners and we saw that under president trump when we dropped to 45-year lows in illegal immigration.

we were then able to go after criminal cartels. i'm glad that there are people that are calling for more resources including the military but i will tell you, harris, we don't need the military. all we need is proper law enforcement policies. programs and operations. if we had that law enforcement, people like myself we could get it under control tomorrow. we just don't have what's necessary to do it. that's why we call for additional resources. it is sad we have to put the burden on the taxpayer. they should not have to shoulder this burden. we could get it done tomorrow we don't have the political will from this administration to do it and the cartels know it and generating record numbers of profits. >> harris: i'm looking right now at eagle pass, texas, the del rio sector. children and families are drowned in the water and border patrol agents put their lives on the line to save them. what keeps you up at night after watching that video? >> it makes me sick knowing the

cartels know how to generate profit and know they can overwhelm resources. you saw was cbp officers we had to send border patrol agents that left miles upon miles wide open for the cartels to exploit. we don't know what came across during that time and that's what keeps me up at night. it's knowing that we have lost more united states citizens to death from fentanyl in what we lost in the vietnam and korean conflict alone. we have to get it under control to protect the lives of the united states citizens. >> harris: thank you for everything you are doing and the teams you are leading there and all the law enforcement. god bless you. good to see you, brandon. president biden today giving the okay for a big oil drilling project. the climate activists are furious with him. maybe that's why he put in millions of acres of off limits for oil exploration. so on one hand he says you can drill. on the other hand i have to make

the far leftists happy and here is how i'll do it. the president and republicans miles apart on dollars and cents. >> the president's budget is not serious. it is not serious for the current time we live in. this is an opportunity for this president not to just show leadership to america but to the rest of the world and we're just not seeing it. >> harris: the backlash keeps coming. americans worried about their wallets. republican chip roy of the house budget committee in "focus" next. -to go bowling with us tonight? -yeah. no. there's my little marzipan!

i'm christine mahon. i'm retired from public health nursing and from the army reserve. my retirement funds allow me to enjoy what i love to do. i volunteer with the medical reserve corp. as long as you can make an impact, why stop? >> harris: a fox news alert now. president biden hours ago approved a big oil drilling effort in alaska called the willow project. it's all over social media. the far left hates this. the u.s. interior department now says the project will be substantially smaller than originally proposed.

denying two of the five locations for possible drilling. environmental groups already putting outing a reresponses in what might be an effort to blunt that anger president biden is considering banning drilling in 3 million square miles off the alaskan coast. the willow project sparked protests and twitter hashtags stop willow and as of today, it has more than 170 million views. maybe those critics remember this. >> would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a biden administration? >> no, we would work it out and make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those. look in my eyes, i guarantee you, i guarantee you we will end fossil fuel. >> harris: in "focus" now texas republican congressman chip roy member of the budget committee. great to have you in "focus."

let's talk about the size and money and everything with this project and why the far left hates it. is he capitulateing? >> good morning, harris. everything you are seeing this morning in the news they are all tied together. what we're dealing with with respect to the bank situation and why it is a product of massive inflation and interest rate hikes causing the problem we're seeing now. all a product of failed policy. this inflation is being up in significant part by the assault on american oil and gas by the biden administration. now the biden administration wants to throw out crumbs with a bit of production, 150,000 to 200,000 barrels a day. keep in mind, biden dumped 200 million barrels out of this strategic petroleum reserve last year because he had to react to his own failed policies that were creating such a massive crisis with respect to gas prices for the american people and he did so right before an election. for crass political purposes.

this administration is a total failure. the border in el paso, the banking crisis is a result of massive spending and regulations by climate fetish agenda it is promoting to the radical left. now he this incensed he will open up three pats -- pads at a give because american people want us to produce oil and gas. >> harris: we hadn't talked about the oil reserve he has been tapping like a keg. the thing isn't going to last for infinity. can he keep doing that? do we have enough oil left in the oil reserve if we don't start producing some? >> no, that's the exact question right now we're facing. in fact, what we're seeing is a worldwide impact by the fact that the united states backed away from its american energy dominance. we are seeing the impact in

russia and ukraine. we're seeing the impact in terms of what's happening in the middle east and seeing the impact in china. doing nothing for what the radical left wants. china is ramping up production of coal-fired plants. china is actually increasing two coal-fire plants per week despite they have 1100. we only have 250. we are producing no new gas-fired plants in texas, for example. texas. texas is about the 50% wind and solar because of the massive federal subsidies destroying the market. we're crippling the grid and national security and grip cling affordable energy. we're empowering china and cartels at our border. we're destroying our economy and now we'll have the fed dumps more saving banks caused by the policies of the federal government in the first place.

>> harris: it is hard to get our minds around. people need to dig deep into this. the grid problems we saw last summer, grid problems in california where they had a ton of sun normally. although the snow and rain are something epic recently, if they can't do it with their grid and solar and wind and all of that, then we need a transition point. the dirty truth is about their grid, they are just as fossil fuel and coal dependent as any other grid in america. they want to pretend it is okay to flip that switch. >> i think this is a really important question. i want to look at texas for a minute. i want everybody to keep in mind texas being 50% wind and solar by the end of this year or into next year is an absolute a bomb nation. you see what is happening with the destabilization of the grid. we can choose a different path. american energy independence is right in front of us. we need to take a new path to

secure the border, have strong energy and stop spending money we don't have. we can abandon biden and shrinking washington and growing america. >> harris: i'm glad to have you on from the budget committee and watch you talk all of these things together. if it feels like certain things are happening at once it is dollars and cents. from what you are saying of course they are. and could we have seen it coming? apparently some of you can. >> the freedom caucus got out last week and say we need to cut spending right now. eliminate the $4 hundred billion bail-out for student loans, get $91 billion of covid money back and make sure we limit our spending to pre-covid levels. nothing crazy. go back to pre-covid levels and save $3 trillion over ten years as a down payment to getting our country back. shrink washington, shrink the bureaucracies. get the regulations out of the way to grow america.

we need economic growth to save this country. this administration is touting the obvious and too many republicans who want to do the same. we need change in washington. that's what we're about. i love the onb director says you won't save money from that. their plan is spend more 17 million in debt in the next decade. >> harris: what you just laid out is what republicans are criticized for, lack of a plan. clearly you have one. clearly you have one. >> yes. >> harris: representative, thank you very much, great to see you. house democrats with insults and name calling toward witnesses behind the twitter files release. one of those journalists spoke out for the first time since that wild hearing. plus gop lawmakers not giving up on their search for answers about how covid began. >> for two years the white house, dr. fauci, many in the

media had tried to suppress this. every day we find out more and more information and it is pointing to the wuhan lab. >> harris: the white house's former top covid doctor with quite a new take now after dismissing the laboratory leak theory for years. a new take, another one. so fresh, that's dr. fauci. raymond arroyo in "focus" next. paying off your car loan y 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 come up with money to get money.

>> i think that the writing is on the wall for the biden administration. when you have republicans and democrats unanimously voting to declassify these intel reports, that's pretty telling. when you think about his reasons for dragging his feet, maybe it has to do with the fact that it would force them to act and open pandora's box. this really is the worst thing that could happen for the biden administration. >> harris: lawmakers demanding the president stop stalling on covid origins intelligence bill. the legislation passed unanimously in the house and senate calling for the declassification of any and all information showing links between the wuhan laboratory and the pandemic's origins.

two federal agencies say the lab leak theory is the most lukely culprit. the f.b.i. and energy department. covid top dr. anthony fauci has long dismissed the lab leak but he is now offering these verbal gymnastics. >> i kept an open mind throughout the entire process. a lab leak could be that someone was out in the wild, maybe looking for different types of viruses in bats, got infected. went into a lab and was being studied in the lab and came out of the lab. if that's the definition of a lab leak, jim, there still is a natural occurrence. >> harris: jim acosta is frozen. he had nothing to say there. raymond arroyo is here. wow. >> you listen to that. this would be my saying i was in the studio with harris not

today, but i've come once and my presence was still behind. people remember me being there. this is absurd. fauci has worked so hard not only to lock americans down but to lock down truth tellers or anyone who dare contradict his theories. they are theories. you remember the great barrington declarations. he shut down people. they were questioning the lockdowns and natural immunity. ditto for the origins of covid. he didn't like the story it might have happened in a lab because he might be on the hook for that. our n.i.h. was funding that gain-of-function research. he doesn't want that so i killed it. debunked everybody. >> harris: we need to look for the evidence and facts on that. china sees us now judging their lockdowns full well knowing that

we used the same process on our people. and i would have to imagine they think to themselves. we don't need to let anybody know. you won't get help from china. >> biden doesn't have a choice. majority of democrats and republicans. >> bill: 419-0. >> it is over. >> harris: he is firing back at critics saying he should be prosecuted over his handling of the pandemic. watch. >> you've been vilified on the far right. you know that. and we've seen elon musk tweet his pronouns, the owner of twitter, his pro nouns are prosecute fauci. >> prosecute me for what? what the heck are they talking about? i think they're going off the deep end. it doesn't make any sense to say something like that and it

actually is irresponsible. >> harris: the problem potentially legally for fauci is that he was out denying the lab leak theory and in in fact he knew it was not the case. no one, even republicans, have not said it was manufactured necessarily. they may have collected it like we collect ebola and studied that 300 feet down. >> when you have the science journal and scientists saying it was crafted in a lap. you have to at least listen. fauci dismissed them out of hand and dismissed his peers who were saying no lockdowns and watch nat natural immunity. he didn't want to hear about that. that's a problem. >> harris: heated congressional hearing on elon musk last week. i love he had to tell fauci who owned twitter. the hearing last week on the

twitter files revealed evidence that the federal government tried to censor content. democrats during the hearing tore into matt taibbi, one of the journalists who worked hard on that release. >> republicans have brought in t two of elon musk's public scribes. >> being a republican witness casts a cloud over your objectist. >> when was the first time that mr. musk approached you about writing the twitter files? >> again, congresswoman, that would -- >> i just need a date. >> i can't give it to you because this is a question of sourcing and i don't give out and i don't reveal my sources. >> she doesn't know what a journalist does. taibbi hit back.

>> they would never treat a "new york times" reporter like that or "washington post" reporter like that. they asked me if i was paid to testify. totally outrageous. called us a direct threat to people who oppose them. that's ominous language for the government to talk about with regard to journalists. >> harris: a direct threat to people who oppose them. >> to call them a so-called journalist in the hearing. matt taibbi has written for years for the rolling stone magazine, ten books he has released. not like he woke up one day and musk hired him to release information. he has been going through the evidence and presenting it to the public. this is a public service. here is the point. they don't like what taibbi is releasing clearly which is the government is again just like the fauci story, censoring information it doesn't want you to know because it conflicts with their policies whether that's the hunter laptop or in the case of fauci, the covid

information even coming from the cdc itself, which the twitter files show they tried to suppress. >> harris: i have had medical experts tell me if we had known more about the origins it might have helped us to fight it in the beginning. the replication how it was messed with that sort of thing and the contagion levels that would change from mutation to mutation. it might have really helped. when i say might we can only say that because we didn't get anything. we got stonewalled because we were dealing with an enemy. >> the great barrington paper. >> harris: when your own people lie to you. >> from scientists who know what they talked about. they warned fauci in 2020 and into 2021 look at natural imm immunity. >> harris: what are doctors saying now? >> you are fine, ride it out. >> harris: if you've had it, there is natural immunity.

that's what we are being told in the very place we were sent to, our own doctors offices. >> here we are again. i wasn't content moderation, this was content suppression and that's what the twitter files revealed. a lot of people in government don't want to see that. >> harris: that is not america. >> i agree. >> harris: thank you very much. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus."
