those were weights inside of walleyes caught on lake erie. they both pled guilty to a felony count of cheating accused of stuffing the weights into the fish. they were sliced open and saw the weights inside and they were dq'd. they will be sentenced in may. we bring that to you. nice to have you here, okay? >> aishah: thank you for having me. always good to see you. >> bill: here is harris. >> harris: fox news alert. metro national police searching for a motive in the mass shooting that killed six people at a christian elementary school. that city and the entire nation heartbroken. i'm harris faulkner. you are in "the faulkner focus." police released body cam footage as they are searching through

the school to see the killer and see her moves. here are still images from the video during the attack. police shot and killed the shooter 28-year-old audrey hale. a transgender former student of the school. security cameras show hale moving through the school saying she had drawn out maps of the campus which detailed a planned attack. police also say they have what they believe is a manifesto written by audrey hale. here you see two of the six victims, schtaffers. one staffer and three children also killed including the daughter of the church pastor. a community deep in grief and we pray for them. >> no parent should have to receive that call or no parent should have to go through that. >> i saw little kids coming out and that was really tough for me. >> never in a million years thought it would be this close

to home. we're praying for you. >> harris: two police officers shot audrey hale less than 15 minutes after that deadly rampage began. their fast action all but certainly saved so many other lives inside that school. president biden condemned the killing and immediately called for new gun laws flipped right to politics. republican congressman chris stewart of utah in "focus" today. first let's go to white house correspondent peter doocy. >> harris, over the course of the last two plus years we have heard officials here call on a democratic-controlled congress to pass gun control. now we hear them call on a divided congress to pass gun control. >> we cannot do this alone. we need congress to act. we need them to build on what we saw them do with this bipartisan action that the president signed, the safer communities act, over the summer. we need to build on that.

we have to. we have to ban assault rifles. >> president biden's only comment on this has been split. he expressed condolences at first. >> president biden: it's just sick. it is heartbreaking. a family's worst nightmare. it is ripping our communities apart. ripping at the very soul of the nation. >> after about one minute of talk like that, he, too, used his time at the lectern to call for gun control. >> president biden: we have to do more to protect our schools so they aren't turned into prisons. you know, a shooter in a situation reportedly had two assault weapons and a pistol, so i call on congress again to pass my assault weapons ban. >> despite calls like that from a vote counting perspective there is no momentum in this town towards what he is calling

for. >> harris: peter doocy, thank you very much. many democrats and on the left and liberal media pouncing on the gun control issue and trashing republicans in the process. actress jamie lee curtis tweeted ban assault weapons now. another with the assault weapons ban should never have been permitted to expire. shame on every single politician okay with doing nothing. this chorus from the democrat lawmakers. >> with incidents like the one that happened in nashville, tennessee continue in america we need to keep guns out of dangerous hands and keep our children safe. >> we need to prioritize our children, schools, families. >> right now in congress it's pathetic. it is hard for me to serve out there with some of the people i have to serve with. they are part of the danger.

they could go -- i won't get into that but it is they are so attached to guns and there is no hope on them. >> harris: he won't get into it and then he got into it. republican congressman chris stewart of the great state of utah. he sits on the subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government. great to have you in "focus" today. it was heartbreaking living through and reporting on live on tv yesterday as that was happening. it was then really heartbreakingly disappointing to see one side of the aisle just lean all over the politics of the moment. >> yeah. well, tell me that you are terribly surprised by that, though. we've seen that again and again and again. look, this is heartbreaking. we say that every time it happens because every time it happens, it is heartbreaking. i've got six kids. i have 16 grandkids.

i can't imagine a parent getting a call like that. but on the other hand, too, if we are going to fix it, let's be honest and fair about it. the democrats had complete control of the government for two years. they had the house, the senate and the white house. they could have done anything they wanted and they didn't. the reason why is because the american people know the answer isn't banning assault weapons, which by the way most of these people who call for ban on assault weapons couldn't tell you what one is. the president has called for a ban and every semi automatic rifle and handgun in the country, which is about 84% of the weapons in the country. clearly that's not going to happen. he knows that's not going to happen. all they are trying to do is demonize anyone who disagrees with them and blame republicans as if we think this is okay when, of course, we're heartbroken by it just like everyone else is. >> harris: congressman stewart. before we move on from this.

the conversation hardly ever includes that bipartisan legislation was passed and it was the first time in many decades on any type of gun issue. we don't ever talk about anything that has happened so far that would point to what i guess democrats or anybody might consider progress on the hill that you guys got together. >> that's exactly right. it was bipartisan and effective. but harris, look, we can't protect all of society from maniacs who pick up a weapon and shoot people. we could protect our children and schools. there should be bipartisan work now towards saying look, we can protect schools with policies with resource officers, with standardizing some of the entry points and there is a lot of things we could do with protecting our children. let's focus on protecting

sch schools, not banning 84% of the weapons in the country. >> harris: can you protect the second amendment and address the issues regarding guns? can there be more coming together? is there more room for that? i'm curious about it. it's a battle every time something happens. >> yeah, it is. it frustrates people and frankly, you know, makes angry a lot of americans when you hear this. we protected airports, we protect people who are flying in airplanes. why can't we implement a lot of those procedures to protect children? >> harris: we'll move to this. our audience, more news pops on the situation and their investigation in nashville, tennessee with covenant elementary and we'll bring it to you immediately. i want to go here with you. it could be a tough sales pitch. president biden travels to north carolina today as part of a big 20-state messaging push on the economy. he has seen his numbers with

americans. on many voters' minds the big bank collapses, high prices for just about everything we put in our mouths or cars, down market, rate hikes from the fed and more. by the way we're filing our taxes in a couple of weeks so people will get hit there, too. fox business stewart varney says the president has his work cut out for him. >> i hope he takes questions. on the economy he has a lot to answer for. inflation, price increases are still swamping wage increases. we are getting worse off. one more item to throw in here. the vast cost of going green. all those mandates and subsidies will bust the bank and lead to the very inflation the president wants to bring down. >> harris: in fact, a goldman sachs report says the green subsidies will cost $1.2 trillion, more three times what supporters of the law had

claimed. congressman stewart, your thoughts on all of it. >> where do you begin on this? the president has got to go out to the american people and going to try to deceive them. that's the only way he can convince i of them that any of these policies are good for them and not his fault. it is important to keep it in mind. if you drive around washington, d.c. and new york in a limousine you haven't been shopping and you don't care what the price of gas is or a loaf of bread or milk is. for the vast majority of americans we care. inflation hurts the poorest among us. it hurts those who are working and just trying to make ends meet. and the sole explanation is not supply chain interwrappings options or other solutions it's about government spending. bank instability is because of inflation. banks are leveraged with

long-term bonds worth less money than they were when they bought them. all of these are interconnected but come back to one theme. the federal government has spent $12 trillion in the last two years and the president has got to explain oh, no, it's not me, it is vladimir putin, it's the war in ukraine, don't look here. the american people aren't stupid. eventually they see it and sure can see it now. >> harris: $12 trillion. that's breathtaking. >> two years. >> harris: i don't know if we can take two more years of that. it's breathtaking. always great to have you in "focus." thank you very much. new questions over congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez's defense of tiktok. >> to me, the solution here is not to ban an individual company, but to actually protect americans from this kind of data harvesting. >> harris: she made that sales

pitch for tiktok on tiktok. ethics watchdogs reportedly say money might be behind it all. plus democrats going hard after twitter files journalist matt taibbi at a recent hearing. >> being a republican witness today casts a cloud over your objectivity. deeper concern i have relates to the ethics of how journalists receive and present certain information. they should avoid accepting spoon fed cherry picked information. >> i think it depends. >> harris: she basically called every republican a liar. how dare she? politicians poll particular. some say the feds were trying to intimidate matt taibbi as well. they went to where he lived to go talk to him. ben

forever. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time. this is going to be great. taking the shawl off. ok i did it. is he looking at my hairline? is plaque psoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla is a pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis achieve clearer skin. and no routine blood tests required. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. some people taking otezla had depression, suicidal thoughts, or weight loss. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. doctors have been prescribing otezla for over 8 years. don't hesitate. ask your doctor about otezla today.

>> harris: this is actually real. the i.r.s. made an unannounced personal visit to twitter files journalist matt taibbi. they went to his home. house judiciary chairman jim jordan demanding answers in a letter. he wrote the i.r.s.'s action could be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate a witness going before congress. look at this timing. it is so suspicious and obvious. the visit happened on the very same day that journalist matt taibbi gave testimony before congress. >> effectively news media became an arm of the state-sponsored thought policing system. a grave threat to people of all political persuasions. i find it scary. i think it is none of the

government's business what -- which journalists a private company talks to and why. it is a canary in the coal mine that something worse is coming in terms of an effort to exercise control over the press and so on that level it is absolutely disturbing. >> harris: i believe the word is chilling. it chills free speech and coverage by journalists. op-ed called out the newly beefed up i.r.s., remember 87,000 extra agents. the fear of many americans is that flush with its new $80 billion in funding from congress, the i.r.s. will unleash its power against political opponents. mr. taibbi deserves to know why the agency decided to pursue him with a strange house call. ben domenech, fox news contributor. editor at large for the spectator. we should all pay attention to this one. >> absolutely, harris.

look, i think that this is actually a lay-up for the president of the united states. president joe biden should come out and demand answers on why this happened. he should demand answers for why the i.r.s. would engage in something that was clearly designed -- i don't believe for a second this was something that was coincidental to go after matt taibbi on the day he was testifying in front of congress. he is a truth teller and someone who has been a thorn in the side of major powerful entities in the united states for a long time by reporting the truth about them. the fact that the i.r.s. would go after him would show up at his door. a lot of us have gotten nasty letters maybe from the i.r.s. over the years over something or other but we've never had somebody like that show up at your door. i do think this is a new thing that is going to happen underneath an i.r.s. that is totally empowered and funded to the massive degree by democrats who believe they ought to go after a lot of people who are

engaging in totally normal behavior on all of the different exchange apps that exist. on venmo and others to dig into the income that people are making through those apps and find new ways to go after them. matt taibbi is a sub stack user as am i and someone who has been a very popular newsletter writer for quite a long time. the idea the i.r.s. would send someone to his house over a dispute that apparently involves them owing him money is something that i just think is unbelievable. the president should demand answers from the i.r.s. and the person who did this or who enabled this should have to answer for why they did and make clear why this was not just an act of political intimidation. >> harris: what they were trying to reach them for according to a note they left was about his 2021 tax return and one in 2018. those returns were reject

edmonton -- rejected because of identity theft. your last thought and we'll move forward. >> i think this is a situation where democrat or republican, people don't like the i.r.s. and they certainly don't like the idea of the i.r.s. knocking on your door. this is an example where the president, if it wasn't just a partisan going after someone who, by the way, is left of center, matt taibbi. i think this is a situation where the white house should basically engage in this question and find answers so we know what the basic issue is and why this ended up happening. >> harris: well, this is also happening. critics are going after liberal congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez for her recent really tough defense of tiktok. she loves tiktok. here she is on tiktok.

>> for me the solution is not to ban an individual company, but to actually protect americans from this kind of data harvesting and usually when the united states is proposing a very measured move that has something to do with risk to national security one of the first thing that happens is congress receives a classified briefing. congress has not received a classified briefing. >> harris: the whole time she was talking she was getting somebody's attention. the ethics watchdogs are suggesting she must have a personal interest in stopping a possible ban of the china-owned app. she helped to advise a charity that pocketed $150,000 from tiktok's parent company. it is a matter of deep concern, conflict of interest. another calling it the kind of, quote, scummy washington stuff that everybody hates. ben. >> look, i think that there is

absolutely some serious questions to be asked about why aoc and why she would post this. understand this, there is absolutely justification for banning tiktok. the people either on the left or on the right who suggest that this is somehow a government power grab, i didn't hear from them when we banned huawei or gte. these are all chinese communist party-owned entities that wanted to operate in america that we said no, we won't let you do that. we should do the same thing with tiktok. we don't want our teenagers' brains to be melted by some chinese communist app. it is in our national security interest to prevent that from happening and something that we're absolutely within our rights to do. josh hawley, the senator from missouri has a bill in the house, very simple five pages long bill that would ban tiktok. i would encourage him to go to

the floor of the senate and introduce that bill and ask for unanimous consent and like to see the senator who would object to that and have them defend the idea that we should allow the chinese communist party to be able to pump into the phones of millions of americans the kind of propaganda they have been able to do. if aoc wants to stand up and defend that idea, she is welcome to do that. but i think that we are on the right side of this. bipartisan, by the way, right side of this when we say you aren't going to be able to do that. we have our own problems with our own social media apps here in america. we'll deal with them, too. first things first. we need to get rid of this chinese communist propaganda pumped into the phones of millions of americans. we can do it now. it is constitutional and we should do it. >> harris: you mentioned those companies and i am thinking i know huawei was under president

trump. things that happened under his watch. the walk or fly by china can do these days under the president with a spy balloon across our nation, the width of our nation. >> he is letting them get away with so much it is disgusting. and we cannot allow that kind of thing to just become an accepted form of foreign policy and national security going forward. we have to take a confrontational stance against a nation that only wants to run down america, to ruin us. they are already poisoning our people physically. they want to poise poison their minds as well. >> harris: aoc has to deal with an ethics look. thank you, ben. great to have you in "focus." president biden yet to announce whether he will run for the white house again. but a new poll shows not many democrats would like to see that happen.

another problem, they don't seem to have anybody else as like a backup idea. plus comedian calling out green hypocrisy. >> it has gotten infinitely worse. >> mostly because of you. >> no, mostly because of you. >> please, if i had your money i would throw mine away. >> you flying an private planes. >> he is flying private and not the only one. power panel next. veteran homeowners. need to cut your monthly expenses and get cash? call newday and ask for the newday 100 cash out loan. our veterans are getting an average of $70,000. they're paying off their first high rate credit card,

their second high rate credit card, their third, fourth and even fifth high rate credit card and saving hundreds every month. they're paying off their car loans, too, and putting extra cash in the bank for the security every veteran deserves.

hey, dad. i got an a on my book report. that's cool. and i went for a walk in the woods and i didn't get a single flea or tick on me. you are just the best. -right? i'm great. -you are great. oh, brother. this flea and tick season, trust america's #1 pet pharmacy. chewy.

>> harris: some high-profile democrats talking up president biden ahead of his expected 2024 run for the white house.

however, democrat voters may not be feeling it. a new poll finding only a quarter want biden to seek re-election. 44% say he should step aside. 30% say they are undecided. when it comes to an alternative to joe biden, 51% say they have no idea. look at those faces on the screen. you know most of them. but people have no idea who should be running for president besides biden. they don't want him. 13% back vice president kamala harris. former candidates like pete buttigieg, bernie sanders don't even break 10%. cassie smutly, former executive director and disrae tims. >> when you talk to voters they don't want biden and can't think of anybody else. why? >> yeah, i think at a bare

minimum they are saying things are not going well. if we have any chance of getting another four years with a democrat in the white house, we need to make some changes. personally my family would fare better if we made changes. as someone who wants to support a democrat. i'm talking about the polling. we need to make some changes. you can't give republicans that clear line of attacks. candidates matter on both sides. right now whoever the republican nominee is can clearly say your prices are going up at the grocery store. too much to get a loan. everything is going wrong right now. there is only one guy to point to. it is interesting they can't figure out what the solution is. maybe because democrat solutions are not the answer to what ails us now in our country. >> harris: why not kamala harris? why doesn't she come to mind for people immediately do you think, desirae? >> because president joe biden

is still president. until he announces will he or won't he will continue. we all know and first lady jill biden has already hinted that president biden is gearing up and getting ready to run for re-election and we know that vice president kamala harris will be on the ticket with him. and president biden's policies are popular. once he gets out there and once the surrogates start talking to the americans about $35 insulin caps, the chips act, jobs being created around the country people will vote for joe biden again. >> harris: i thought you might have started with kamala harris only has 36% approval rating, below the president. maybe that's why people didn't choose her. why does he have to sell his economy if it is so good for people? it is a conundrum. 20 days of him on the road. see if it makes the difference. the thing that worries democrats. president biden moments before addressing the nashville, tennessee elementary school

shooting. watch. >> president biden: my name is joe biden. [laughter] i'm dr. jill biden's husband. and i eat ice cream, chocolate chip. i came down because i heard there was chocolate chip ice cream. by the way, i have a whole refrigerator full upstairs. you think i'm kidding, i'm not. >> harris: that was before he mentioned the children and three adults who were killed shot to death inside of the covenant school in nashville. former new jersey governor chris christie with this. >> to say that he misunderstood the moment would be an understatement. the president is watching, you would hope, before he comes down there. and to be coming down joking about the fact he is jill biden's husband looking for chocolate chip ice cream is not the way to start it. no room to joke in that circumstance and certainly not from the president of the united

states. >> harris: desirae, why does that happen? >> i wasn't in the room. i can't speak to -- >> harris: you have to be in the room to talk about ice cream. >> president biden is the only person who moved on gun legislation. the republican party is blocking doing something about it. i live in ohio, republican dominated and tell you after the shooting the republicans here have done nothing and we're tired of seeing our children being slaughtered by assault weapons and ar-15s in the name of the second amendment. it is not right. >> harris: you know what's ironic. the president of your party, president of the united states. president of your party started with ice cream over anything that you said. he did get to the politics that you are talking about but it was more important that he mention the name jenny's ice cream which he does a lot, by the name. a lot. it is his focal point.

cassie. >> also talking about tone deaf. he mentions the brand of ice cream that's expensive and most people can't afford like nancy pelosi. to put it on what desirae is saying. you saw it earlier in your show. it was a bipartisan efforts when democrats controlled every branch of the government the republicans said we'll sit at the table and talk about it. no such thing happens from the other side. let's talk about this holistically. let's talk about the root causes what's happening in our country that is causing the mental impact and mental illness that people are going and doing this and creating these heinous, tragic crimes. they won't talk about that. that won't tantamount admitting they have been asleep at the wheel and the problem so many of us take issue with. we have to sit through watching these devastating school shootings happen over and over. no one wants them as your

previous guest said and democrats move within seconds he moved from ice cream to politics. before even mourning the death of those children and their teachers. within seconds and that's how you know that nothing is going to happen because they're so interested in sticking to political talking points and maddening to moms out here. >> policy change. republicans said they won't do nothing. republicans from tennessee said he can't do anything today. >> harris: comedian bill maher blasting environmentalists yesterday. >> i can stand being an environmentalist. every single person who flies in a private jet. we all do it. it is irresist able that looks bad to someone in the middle or leaning right. when lefties are hypocrites. >> harris: he puts it well here.

not whether or not you fly private. we're a capitalist nation. the fact that those flying private are preaching to everybody else they shouldn't. your thoughts. >> i can't speak to how irresistible flying private jets are. i'm not in the tax bracket. we need to do something about climate change. we're feeling the effects it. the poor people can't pack up and move when another tornado comes down in their town. >> harris: so well put. cassie. >> yeah, i agree. it is affecting the common person while the rich just continue to get richer. look who is benefiting from the policies they are pushing on us. look at what companies and governments are doing with your money. we do want free market solutions because we see the hypocrisy and we don't -- it is not that we don't want climate solution for our future and children's

future, we don't only want one option that benefits one side, the rich and well connected. >> harris: interesting to hear you both get to that point. you wouldn't know how that irresistability about that flying would feel. they are benefiting now and preaching to the rest of us. environmentalists who want to do what they tell us to do. thank you, we'll all pray for nashville together. i hear it in both your voices. a new op-ed declaring america's crisis showing a huge drop in patriotism, religion and having babies. governor gavin newsom largely silent on a state plan to issue reparations to the state's nearly 2 million black residents even though he signed a bill to launch reparations task force in the first place. c.j. pearson, first time in "focus" is here. stay close. known for loving the outdoors.

>> the committee must consider how the banks exploded in size in a way that was clearly unsustainable. i understand why americans are angry and disgusted how quickly when the government mobilized when elites were asking for it.

>> harris: everybody agreed on that. paying the rich people to just be rich. some highlights from the opening statements at today's senate banking committee hearing. the first senate hearing on what actually led up to silicon valley bank and signature bank in new york, the other one on the other coast, falling apart. officials from the fdic, federal reserve and treasury departments are all testifying today to answer to what happened to those banks and to keep it contained. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is live on capitol hill. chad. >> good morning. the questions who is at fault. what sparked the run on deposits? the fed's michael barr said silicon valley bank was a textbook case in mismanagement. >> that exposure led the firm to be highly vulnerable to a shock. belatedly attempted to adjust its liquidity position and reported losses on its available

for sale securities and that eventually on thursday sparked a depositor run. >> questions why regulators failed to catch problems ahead of time but concern earlier this month that other banks could fail fueled by additional runs on banks. >> i think the evidence suggested from the sequential failures of first silicon valley and then signature, that there was a significant risk of contagion to other institutions. >> depositors withdrew $42 billion in a few hours from svb. republicans contend high inflation by the biden administration caused the failures. >> i hope the learn how the federal reserve could know about such risky practices for more than a year and fail to take definitive corrective action. by all accounts, our regulators

appear to have been asleep at the wheel. >> there is a big debate about raising the amount covered by the federal deposit insurance corporation. lawmakers are leery about protecting everybody. the federal will issue its report on bank collapses by may one. >> harris: gavin newsom is silent after he himself set up the state task force on reparations for blacks in california. the proposal calls for $360,000 for each of the state's roughly 1.8 million black residents who have an ancestor who was a slave. the cost to the state a reported $640 billion. one task force member says the final report from california's reparations panel will be breathtaking in impact. i wonder what that means? california is on the brink of a historic and seismic shift toward finally delivering justice for black americans. leo terrell with a different

take. >> can we afford it? no. should they? no. gavin newsom who signed the bill for the sole purpose of political ambition and now the activists want him to come up with the money. why should people in this state pay for this? it is ridiculous. >> harris: c.j. pearson prager u and host of the wrap. wrap it up with cj. what was your take on gavin newsom. he is silent after setting up the task force. >> harris, i think this conversation should have ended before it began because the reality is simply there is no one alive today who was a slave and no one alive today who was a slave owner. let's get to the reality of this issue here. reparations won't do anything to help black people. it won't save the failing schools in cities like chicago. it is not going to end the violent crime wave in cities like baltimore.

it is simply going to toss a carrot in front of the faces of black people and ask them to be happy. what does it do for our community? not a single thing whatsoever. >> harris: i've been curious all along. the governor sets it up. if it's about politics, is it about getting the black vote? what does gavin newsom do. he is a politician. they will politic. >> exactly right. this isn't about black lives or improving the state of black america. it's about black votes. the left has been clear that's all they care about. they don't care about the betterment of black opportunity or ending this violent crime wave that disimportant portion naturally effects people of color. i am sick and tired of black people being treated by human chattel up for sale for the highest bitter. we need to expect and demand

more. >> harris: why do you think the party that says we need your vote the most does this? >> the only way they know how to maintain power. it is the only way in which they know how to win. they don't have an agenda for the black community that is going to benefit our future or our legacy in this country. what they try to do is try to buy us. i have to tell you, i'm not for sale. i know a lot of folks in our community aren't, either. >> harris: they talk about slavery yet you have to say it out loud. we aren't for sale with that money. >> exactly that. >> harris: straight up irony. we know there is less care than there is politicing when you see one side defund the police. as you mentioned, so many people in diversity communities really on the short end of that, really suffering because of that. all right. new "wall street journal" polling finds that patriotism,

religious faith and having babies -- having children are no longer the most important things to americans. those are values that help define our national character for generations. only 38% call patriotism important to them now. about the same for religion. when the question was first asked in 1998, 70% deemed patriotism to be very important. 62% said so of religion. republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy wrote a piece entitled the usa is experiencing a crisis of faith in itself. the secular cults of gender ideology, covidism and climateism prey on the vacuum of purpose and meaning our inner animal spirit has been domesticated by a new culture that celebrates victimhood and
