i say it all the time. learn to say the word yes more and accept the word no more. >> dana: there are so many little pearls of wisdom in this interview. we don't talk politics at all. work life balance and advice and all the things she accomplished in her life so far. much more to come. >> bill: good series. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: a fox news alert. under the biden administration we're up against a massive national security threat because of the leaked classified documents. the intel has been floating around for quite awhile. worse, the administration apparently did not even know about it and has yet to say who put us all in danger. think about it. the president's one job really is to keep us safe. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." sources saying it could be bigger than snowden.
8:01 am
a decade ago he released to the world our national security agency's secret wide ranging information gathering programs. officials suspect a similar situation in this case. an individual or multiple people on the inside rather than an outside hack. fox news can confirm at least 53 documents have been made public. some of that intelligence is very new and apparently has been on the internet for weeks. the leaked intel shows secret details on the war in ukraine and other allies including south korea and israel. white house national security spokesman john kirby. >> this is information that has no business in the public domain. it has no business if you don't mind me saying, on the pages of newspapers or on television. it is not intended for public consumption and it should not be
8:02 am
out there. in order to protect this country every day the way we do, one of the things we have to protect is information. not only the information itself, but the manner in which we glean that information. >> harris: sounded like he was trying to point a finger at the media. don't do that. it was on the internet. chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin. this is the scenario military experts have been telling me keeps them up at night. >> one of the problems is the administration doesn't know who is behind the leak but new indications suggest the leak may have come from outside the pentagon. senate majority leader chuck schumer has just requested a classified briefing for all senators on the leaked documents. >> we don't know who is responsible for this and we don't know if they have more that they intend to post. so we're watching this and monitoring it as best we can.
8:03 am
but the truth and honest answer to your question is we don't know. is that a matter of concern to us? you are darn right it is. >> so far 53 documents have been posted. many of the documents came from february 23rd and march 1st. but there are other highly classified documents that do not come from the pentagon daily briefing slides suggesting the leak occurred outside the pentagon. the first images appeared on discord, a messaging platform popular with gamers. the images, which included folded papers were hastely photographed with items such as gorilla glue in the background and a magazine that shows rifle scopes on the cover. here are some of the most damaging leaks so far. on south korea documents say national security council grappled with the u.s. request asking to send 155 millimeter artillery shells to ukraine saying it could anger moscow.
8:04 am
u.s. intelligence officials caught russian intelligence officers saying they convinced the uae to work with russia against u.s. and u.k. intelligence agencies. on israel, one document details an alleged vote organized by israel's spy service against the judicial overhaul proposed by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. israeli government denies this to be true. on ukraine the documents point to weak points in the ukrainian air defenses and problems with ammunition supplies. according to the documents ukraine's ability to provide medium range air defense to protect front lines will be reduced because of not enough air defense missiles. according to the documents the egyptian president planned to produce 40,000 rockets for russia and instructed his military officials to keep it
8:05 am
secret. some of the documents appear to be altered. the revelations benefit russia and china by creating distrust among allies and again the evidence is starting to point to the leak occurring outside the pentagon. >> harris: jennifer, thank you very much. republican lawmakers blame a president weakened on the world stage for this. >> the administration has no answers. if they can't keep our top secrets safe, how can they keep us safe? this is just another example of us projecting weakness out there and no one has any answers. it is like the leak of roe roe v. wade. no one has answers. we need to do better for the american people. >> harris: are we sure the white house and biden administration made it is priority? fox news contributor and editor at large for the spectator. ben, safety. i said it earlier. it is the one job of federal government. >> it is the highest priority
8:06 am
that you can have as commander-in-chief. unfortunately, given all we're learning about the way that these leaks were treated from the get go it seems this is a massive failure on the part of the biden administration to identify these things early and to shut them down. look, just a little bit of background on this. discord is essentially a wild west part of the internet with all the different servers, chatrooms where people talk about all these different things. the fact that these documents were put out there on a server, weeks if not months ago in terms of their origination point. there is debate about the actual origination point, that's just an indictment of anyone in terms of their ability to track what's going on on the internet in a way that can put american interests at risk. to jennifer's point, this is also something that absolutely is designed to help and favor
8:07 am
america's adversaries around the world. it is designed to undermine our relationships with other nations, undermine our interests when it comes to backing the war effort in ukraine, and the fact that this was not quickly identified and scoped in on by the pentagon and by our intelligence services in ways that they are responsible for is just a total indictment of this administration when it comes to protecting america's interests. >> harris: it makes me think of the china balloon. they knew about that and saw it coming days before it even hit the continental united states. and then we waited a week for them to shoot it down when it got to the carolina coastline. went all the way across our country. we don't know what they knew and what they didn't know. >> it is right in front of us. we don't. one of the things i think is so concerning about this is look, i know many people who are either ex-military on ex-intel active in these communities and they are willing to share a lot of
8:08 am
information that they really -- a few years ago in fact in these same discord servers there was an argument about the way the tanks worked in a video game. someone leaked classified intel about the way that tank worked in order to win an argument. so we're dealing with a lot of people who are willing to break all sorts of boundaries when it comes to responsibility and protecting america's interests. this is something that i think is of deep concern and it would not be happening under an administration that i think had sent a very solid message about what there would be in terms of consequences of leaking these kinds of information. >> harris: well, the state department has finally given the wrongfully detained designation we were waiting on this last week to "wall street journal" reporter to evan gershkovitch. an important step. he is being held in russia on episcopal nudge charges. the agency is calling on russia to release american paul whelan immediately. whelan has been in custody since
8:09 am
2018 on similar charges. unfortunately it doesn't appear to have sped up the clock for release in whelan's case. we pray for all our people to come home. president biden's weakness on russia has emboldened vladimir putin. no doubt. biden commenting on gershkovitch's case this morning. >> mr. president have you spoken to evan gershkovitch's family? >> president biden: i did yesterday. i called them yesterday. we missed calls. i will try it on the plane. >> anything you can say about his place? >> president biden: we're making it clear it is totally illegal what's happening and it changes the dynamic. >> harris: i tried to get them yesterday. he is busy, ben. >> i don't see anything that the president is doing now to change any of these dynamics.
8:10 am
it relates to a number of different people who are in horrible conditions. you mentioned paul whelan and gershkovitch. but we also saw today a final statement to the court from a person familiar to you and others as being a russian dissident. someone who lived in america for many years and attempted to be poisoned by the putin regime not once, but twice. he gave a final statement to the court that was very dramatic. i think one of the things we need to understand about this moment is the biden administration is not doing any of the things necessary to put russia in a bad position when it comes to all of these people that they are capturing. we need to put the brakes to them. instead we treat this like the same way we treated the drone incident most recently where we are saying we'll just guide our drones around the airspace that you are in. that's not acceptable. it is not an expression of american strength. we need to be putting the screws to russia in a way that forces
8:11 am
them to actually free these people, send them back home where they belong and not engage in this type of behavior going forward. it is intolerable and not something we've seen since the 1980s and not acceptable with the way we treat each other in world affairs. i understand we're in a proxy war at this moment but you have to put the screws to them in order to release these people. otherwise they are likely to die in prison never seeing their families again. >> harris: ben, no consequences from this administration. you've said it twice on two different fronts that are very important. we didn't even talk about the border. that's another national security risk. great to have you in "focus" with all of your experience and perspective today. thank you. california governor gavin newsom making moves many say .1 way to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. the problem the current president probably wants to keep that address. president biden keeps hiding from the press. they wrote it that way.
8:12 am
critics say if it's not a strategy, then what is it? >> he would be better off, the country would be better off, by him having regular news conferences and the fact that he doesn't have them and that is not normal for him to do what he is doing raises questions as to why. >> harris: reporters' frustration is boiling over in the briefing room because he won't take their questions. identical twins bethany and stephanie both struggled with cpap for their sleep apnea. but stephanie got inspire, an implanted device that works inside the body. there's no reason to keep struggling. inspire. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com. veteran homeowners, it's time to fight inflation. use the 3 ps: plan ahead by getting a va cash out home loan from newday.

louisville, kentucky bank. police confirm a fifth person has died after the gunman opened fire in an attack on his co-workers. he shot one woman in the back as people were trying to outrun the bullets. all of the victims identified as employees of old national bank, joshua barrett, thomas elliott, giuliana farmer, james tutt and deanna eckert. eight others wounded including through police officers. among them 26-year-old nicholas wilt who had just graduated from the police academy a week before last. he is being called a hero after running toward the shooter. we're told officers were wearing body cameras and that video is likely to be released in the next 24 to 48 hours. the interim police chief described what we'll see. >> just to see how our officers responded yesterday just unflinchingly engaging that
8:19 am
suspect and actually stopping when im from actually taking additional lives. the act of heroism cannot be overly stated yesterday. >> harris: we want to know how he is doing. maybe we'll learn that. the update from police and doctors is expected at the bottom of the hour and we'll bring it to you live. president biden is off to ireland with no plan for a formal news conference during his trip. white house reporters want to ask him questions and do their jobs. >> is the administration trying to protect the president from our questions? please answer that question. >> absolutely not. >> why is there a lack of any interaction in a formal setting to have a press conference? >> the president takes shouted questions. when it comes to a formal press conference i don't have anything to share at this time. >> harris: the president takes shouted questions. you have to run him down to get a question answered. is she proud of that? biden has only held 23 news
8:20 am
conferences since taking office more than two years ago. far fewer than previous presidents had held by this time in their terms. look at that. double, triple, quadruple in some cases. power panel. great to see you both today. why not take more questions, david? not the shouted ones. >> well, biden is off the hook, right? he will take it from shoot from the hip. he will say all sorts of things that he really means and is endearing. there is the staff is trying to control that as much as possible. but it is a matter of being transparent and president biden has been transparent. his team has been transparent in communicating the issues he is working on. many times in the press conferences yes, there are dividing issues being asked and sometimes there is no right answer. but we look at some of these reports it was done. i was looking at the committee
8:21 am
to protect journalists. they put a report together that showed that biden has done less press conferences but open and supportive of the press far more than president donald trump who actually said the media was an enemy of the american people. so if we jocks to pose it it's about the quality. >> harris: i will think he can't hear me. gianno. >> i will agree with just one little bit of point that david just made which is david said that his staff is controlling this process. they really are. i think this dives into the belief many people have. he doesn't have the stamina or mental acuity. if you look at the numbers. donald trump in his first year 92 press interviews. joe biden's first year only 22.
8:22 am
joe biden has done less press conferences in his first -- most recent five predecessors and less media interviews than the last six predecessors. this is a problem for the white house for him to be going out to check around ireland versus meet with our allies who said his actions in afghanistan were a complete and total disgrace. we saw that in the u.k. and in parliament. he needs to be trying to repair the image of america under his leadership across the world but yet still we are seeing how he is moving here in america. >> harris: we don't know if there is more coming as admiral kirby was talking about, the national spokesperson for the white house on security. and if there is more coming from those leaked document, we don't know if ireland is in there. no idea. you don't have to answer to anything if you don't take reporters' questions. david, i appreciate the reading you did by the organization of
8:23 am
journalists. here is the problem. china spy craft, they knew for weeks. didn't tell us. okay. we'll move. president biden has yet to make good on his promise to visit east palestine, ohio, more than two months after the toxic train derailment there. white house press secretary karine jean-pierre with this yesterday. >> does the president still feel the need to visit ohio? >> once the president said it so he will keep that -- he keeps to his word. i don't have a trip to lay out, a preview for you at this time. i will let the president's word stand. >> harris: could we go along and ask questions would be my follow up? the president has visited more than 20 other places since then, including pennsylvania. how do you not get to east palestine? california, las vegas, we could scroll it to music if we wanted to and now ireland. >> a lot of these places are places where his base reside
8:24 am
which makes one question are you representing the whole country or are you only representing your base? that's a problem. the fact that the people of ohio have suffered so much with this train derailment and not had their president, commander-in-chief visit it tells you everything you need to know about 2024 and how he has led thus far. it is a problem and he should show up when things happen. he hasn't been doing that. >> harris: the dnc announced today it's 2024 nominating convention will be held in chicago. an interesting choice given chicago is ground 0 for democrats crime crisis and they chose a progressive mayor to replace progressive lori lightfoot. the city beat out atlanta and new york for that convention. david, it's interesting when you put this alongside what gianno said about the places the president chooses to go. step into the zone where you
8:25 am
will meet more independents. maybe they didn't vote for you last time. >> well, i think president biden is trying to do that. he is trying to govern from the center and hear from republicans and democrats. we've heard him say that over and over again. >> harris: he doesn't go to those places. >> i think like he said he has made a commitment to visit east palestine and he will do that. and i believe that he will. it is not to be a put together operation to make sure he is visiting and talking to the right people and putting a plan in place to make sure it doesn't happen again. that's what we really need to see. not just the optics, but action. >> barack obama said something very powerful in 2004. it is not about blue states or red states but about the united states. when a disaster happens the president of the united states is supposed to show up. he did not show up. he made it about politics and disenfranchised the people who
8:26 am
live in these areas because they were trump voters. the president of united states disgraced himself and his administration by doing that. >> harris: gentlemen, that will do it. good to see you both. house republicans ready for a spending showdown. they say the country nodes to make some cuts -- needs to make cuts. will the president negotiate? more and more images show how bad biden's border crisis really? . a stunning scene near el paso. hundreds of people protesting stricter asylum rules. those people are not citizens. they are the ones trying to come in. they don't like the law that we have. local residents say they have given up on any help from the president. republican texas congressman chip roy in "focus" next.

8:28 am
i tried to put my arm around any vet that i can. absolutely. at newday usa that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that he needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans because i know so many of you
8:29 am
8:31 am
every day, more dog people, and more vets are deciding it's time for a fresh approach to pet food. they're quitting the kibble. and kicking the cans. and feeding their dogs dog food that's actually... well, food. developed with vets. made from real meat and veggies. portioned for your dog. and delivered right to your door. it's smarter, healthier pet food. >> harris: the illegal entry,
8:32 am
chaos, death at the border never ending. more than 300 people protesting near a bridge in el paso. these are people hoping to get into our country. this was yesterday. they want entry into the united states and the white house is just announced plans to try to streamline the asylum process. >> we heard that they will let venezuelans in. that people crossing illegally will be submitted to a credible fear screaming and if they have a valid asylum process they can enter the united states. we're waiting for more information. here they say this is false and we have to go back. i've been since october in this journey and not able to access it. >> harris: six months. matt finn is live at the border in eagle pass, texas. matt, explain this to me. so the people trying to get into our country aren't happy, either, about the way things are going. >> u.s. customs and border protection tells us it was
8:33 am
flare-up yesterday and originated as a protest and resolved itself. we do have a producer on the ground in el paso right now who is monitoring that situation and we'll keep you updated on it. here in the eagle pass area, for well over a year now we know ranchers and property owners are telling us they feel like they are bearing the brunt of the immigration crisis here. we talked to one property owner right here along the rio grande river. the owner of a pecan orchard. they tell us, the husband and wife tell us they have seen migrants drown and have bodies float up to the edge of the riverbank on their land. right now they tell us they are keeping their eye on the river because it is high and dangerous for migrants who might want to cross. the husband and wife tell us they wish mexico or the united states would stop watching the hundreds of thousands of migrants cross the river and instead force them to the international bridge for legitimate processing.
8:34 am
>> i would like them to open the international bridge and have everybody cross through there safely. why do we have to see the people drowning, people crying? why do we have to help them? that's what the bridge is for. >> we're basically standing on that woman's property right now. this isn't anything new but we find these identification cards all along the riverbank. we saw this one of a very young child and we're told that migrants intentionally dump their i.d.s once they get to american soil hopefully to misrepresent their origin or their status once they arrive here in the united states and apply for asylum. >> harris: the cartels tell them to do it. it is a reminder what the cartels will do. they control that border. they control who gets in and you can't trace anybody back to anyone in a cartel because they
8:35 am
are dumping that stuff in the grass. it is hard to believe people are protesting because they don't like our laws. matt finn, thank you. republican congressman chip roy of the great state of texas serves on the house judiciary committee. every day i learn something new about the border that blows my mind. it is not working well for the people coming in, we know that. they are dying to get in. but is the -- what is the answer? is it that international bridge for that part of texas? is that enough? >> well, harris, good morning. hope you had a blessed easter this weekend. unfortunately instead of talking about easter we talk about groundhog day. this story we talk about today has been on repeat for the last several years since the biden administration has been in office. the problem is that means people are dying. americans from fentanyl, migrants who are dying along the border. the 53 who died in a tractor tailer in san antonio.
8:36 am
the thousand or so who died along the river. i sit as a christian two days after easter thinking is this the best we have as a country? republicans campaign on securing the border. then they hide behind compassion to say that somehow leaving a border wide open is good for migrants. you are hearing it right now. they are frustrated because they get an app on a phone from an administration who says yeah, come use the app and come claim asylum. it is ridiculous. people come here for the rule of law and they believe in something bigger and better. if our country doesn't follow the rule of law will we no longer be the star for people who want to come here for a better life. republicans have to answer the question, are they going to lead and secure the border, or are they going to continue to give lip service? it is not enough to come to the table and say i'm a majority maker. i'm in a thin district as a republican and then run away from the fight. the fight the american people
8:37 am
gave us the majority in the house of representatives to use to actually stand up in defense of the american people who are dying and suffering and migrants who are suffering in the process. it is game time and my question for republican leadership and every one of my republican colleagues will you answer the call to do what is right for the country? that's what is in front of us right now. >> harris: that's the quote of the day. it is game time for all of you. for all of us as americans. house republicans facing off with the white house now ready to go to battle over president biden's massive spending plan. the gop blames the presi president's.7 million omnibus bill for higher prices and growing national debt. you are trying to strike down that bill in the u.s. supreme court with concerns or remote voting. it was voted by proxy to pass it. >> people wernl present. we had the majority of the
8:38 am
people there voted were not present. you didn't have a quorum. the constitution is at stake. what was passed in december is destroying america. we are spending money we don't have. driving up inflation. now interest rates are soaring to try to combat inflation. but we are undermining the economy and have stagflation. republicans need to do our job. cut spending and stand up for this country, get rid of the regulations constraining economic growth and do our job. >> harris: this is the may or of louisville, kentucky. lets watch. >> with our police officers. chief, to you and your entire team thank you all very much. in particular, thank you to officer wilt, officer galloway two of the first officers to arrive on the scene to confront the assailant and to save lives.
8:39 am
you and all of the colleagues at lmpd were true heroes yesterday and everyday. to our other first responders, ems, louisville fire department, jefferson county sheriff's office, the 911 operator at metro safe who handled calls and dispatched so efficiently and well and to our state and federal partners, thank you. also a special thanks to dr. smith, to you and all of your colleagues at the university of louisville hospital, thank you for saving lives yesterday and for saving lives every day. i also want to acknowledge the rest of our metro government team who dealt with the challenges adapted to the circumstances, and did what was asked of them yesterday to help others in our community. thank you for emotion bodying the best of public service. as we talk about what's happened
8:40 am
since yesterday, i have to acknowledge the painful fact that this awful act of violence at old national yesterday has taken another life. late yesterday we learned that deanna eckert passed. she was 57 years old. she was an employee of old national bank. i knew deanna also. she was a very kind and very thoughtful person. she was a wonderful woman who will be missed. her death means another family in mourning and adds another layer of tragedy to this moment. i want to briefly read a statement from old national bank ceo jim ryan who asked me to read this on behalf of him and his colleagues at old national quote. there are no words to adequately describe the sadness and
8:41 am
devastation that our old national family is experiencing as we grieve the tragic loss of our team members and pray for the recovery of all those who were injured. obviously this is an incredibly difficult situation and our entire focus is on making sure that everyone affected has the support and assistance they need. on behalf of everyone at old national i want to knowledge and thank louisville law enforcement, the medical community and state and local officials for their incredible response to this tragedy. and finally, we ask you to please continue to pray for all those affected. again, that was old national ceo jim ryan. our thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones and we're also thinking and praying for the people who were injured in this attack, including our police officers.
8:42 am
so for an update on their condition, i first would like to welcome dr. jason smith, chief medical officer at u of l health. >> thank you, mayor. from us i want to send my prayers and thoughts out to all the families that were affected yesterday both those we treated and unfortunately those we did not. an update from us. we still have four patients in the hospital. two remain in the icu. officer wilt still remains in critical condition. but we have been able to upgrade our other patient in the icu to stable. the other two remain in the hospital being treated for non-life threatening injuries. i want to thank my team again the emergency department physicians and nurses, my trauma team and all those who supported us yesterday. i also want to send a thank you to the american red cross. we used 170 units of blood
8:43 am
yesterday to treat these victims which far outstrips our hospital capacity. and their ability to get us that blood to save those lives helped save those lives. i want to thank them for that. i'll be happy to take questions at the end of the press conference. thank you. >> thank you, dr. smith. now for a brief update on some information about things that we've learned about the events and the assailant yesterday. i would like to call on our chief of police. chief. >> to the mayor and everyone in attendance today, we have learned that the suspect in this incident was a current employee with old national bank. we have also learned that he purchased the weapon used in this tragic incident yesterday on april 4th. he purchased the weapon legally
8:44 am
from one of the local dealerships here in louisville. we have executed a search warrant on his residence and have recovered items and we cannot get into specific details on what we recovered at this time and we want to make sure we provide accurate information. the family deserves that and the community deserves that. we also would like to share that later on this afternoon, we will be releasing body worn camera footage of the ins went. that information at the time will be released to you and the location so everyone will be privy to that information. thank you. >> thank you, chief. we need to acknowledge that a tragedy like this affects everyone. i've already talked about some of our first responders and colleagues in metro government. thanks also to the faith leaders
8:45 am
and social workers and mental health professionals who provided comfort and counsel to people in understandable distress. i also want to acknowledge the teachers and parents who had to have difficult conversations with our children throughout our community about this inexplicable act of violence and cruelty. we are all feeling shaken by this and scared and angry, and a lot of other things, too. it is important that we come together as a community to process this tragedy in particular, but not just this tragedy. because the reality is that we have already lost 40 people to gun violence in louisville this year. including another young man yesterday just a few blocks away
8:46 am
from old national bank shortly after this tragic incident happened. that was a separate targeted incident but the result was the same. needless tragedy, needless loss of life. in order to help the people of our community, of our great city come together and deal with this outbreak of tragedies, to grieve, to pray, to unite, i would like to announce we will host a vigil tomorrow, wednesday, at 5:00 p.m. at the mohammad ali center plaza to knowledge the wounds, physical and emotional, that gun violence leaves behind. it will be an interfaith opportunity for our entire community to come together, to grieve, to heal, to begin to
8:47 am
move forward. we also know that wednesday is a night of worship for many across our city and so working with paul and his colleagues at the office of safe and healthy neighborhoods we will be having grief counselors at over a dozen churches throughout our city that have regularly-scheduled worship on wednesday evenings as well. we invite the entire community to join us at the mohammad ali center tomorrow at 5:00 p.m.enter also if you prefer to worship on your own, again we will be providing some grief counselors and we will have a list of those churches where members of the office of safe and healthy neighborhood will be located by mid-afternoon today. i want to thank the mohammad ali center for hosting this vigil on such short notice. one really loving thing in the
8:48 am
midst of this tragedy has been the sheer number of people locally and around the world who have shown such love and support for our city. it means a lot to my wife, rachel, and i. we are deeply grateful on behalf of everyone in louisville, for those who have reached out from beyond and within our city borders. there are so many people who want to do something, who have offered to help, who see this nightmare unfold and want to make it better somehow. we love and appreciate that so much. for those of you who are looking to take action right now -- >> harris: we've been listening to the news conference held by officials after the mass shooting yesterday in louisville, kentucky. thats the mayor who was expressing some political thoughts there. i am not sure if all of that was necessary but some of the comments that we learned today was that video is coming out of
8:49 am
the body cam and that's important and hearing from dr. smith, oh my goodness, hospital used 170 units of blood to save victims. they are heroes at that hospital, too. a lot of heroes in this story. we pray for louisville, kentucky. we do want to warn you the video you are about to see is violent. a former san francisco fire commissioner is now sharing video of an attack on him last week. you can see don being slashed and beaten outside his mom's home after he asked a group of homeless men not to camp near her front porch. video shows him repeatedly hit in the head and chased down the street before a bystander called for help. a suspect was later arrested. the chief says he plans to make
8:50 am
a full recovery. he was attacked a day after the stabbing of bob lee in an upscale neighborhood. police are searching for a suspect for that. one of his friends says it poses a huge risk to the future of the entire city. >> with the murder of bob lee, a lot of tech titans in san francisco are paying attention. we are in a very sketchy stage right now in san francisco because those same tech titans are deciding whether or not san francisco is a safe city for their thousands and thousands of employees. and so this city will see a doom move if we can't keep those jobs in san francisco. >> harris: he is right about this. just this morning a whole foods market in san francisco closed its doors after just one year reportedly over the relentless crime issue there. jason rantz, seattle talk show host. i know you are not in san francisco but you talk about
8:51 am
this all of the time. so i know you can answer this question. can confident be saved at this point? if the businesses leave and revenue goes. >> it is 100% up to the people on the ground. they have to not just demand action, but then follow through with their demands. san francisco, like so many other cities, is the result of a constituency that has not done enough to save itself. you get the government you deserve. when you put in place people who impose policies that lead to these outcomes you are partly to blame but you can fix it. at the end of the day we point specifically to why this is happening. start with the crime crisis due to permissive policies coming from the left. look at homelessness which is also treated in such a permissive way. but beyond this, as i hear this story, i'm thinking of something that happened here in seattle two days ago.
8:52 am
homeless guy randomly stabbed someone offering him food. i think in san francisco some stories don't get the coverage they deserve because it isn't shocking anymore. it is becoming normal ayer'sed. we have to push back. this is not normal. we shouldn't accept it and we need to demand more. >> harris: we cannot normalize abuse and violence. you put that so importantly, jason. further south in riverside county near los angeles, actually, one sheriff has a dire warning. let's watch. >> they are recruiting more and more juveniles into the criminal side of things to do these crimes for them, a juvenile pretty much has to almost kill somebody to be placed in custody and remain in custody. they are in one door and out the other. that emboldens them. >> harris: what is true about what the california sheriff said
8:53 am
and we see it in new york city. the more you allow, the farther the criminals will go. >> this shouldn't shock anyone. these are bad people who are taking advantage of a system that is allowing them to continue this kind of behavior. in california for police to talk to a minor, they would have to get the minor to see a lawyer first. a lawyer, of course, will never allow their client to speak with them. the same in washington state. we see it time and time again. law enforcement saying the same thing. we would love to be able to intervene and get these kids on the right path before they go too far along and become violent. we have to start pushing back. >> harris: progressive media host fired back at her fellow liberals over woke gender language. last month she called terms like birthing person or person with a uterus degrading. she doubled down yesterday. the meltdown over wanting to be referred to as a woman rather
8:54 am
than a birthing person is pretty wild. i will never apologize for that she wrote on twitter. the far left critics don't let i'm up. i'm a woman, inclusive language have never erased me. people are dying and she keeps crying about a phrase. jason. >> well first of all i find it ironic. it is folks on the left word policing for the most insip i had reasons while ignoring actual violence. let's talk about this. if trans women were actual women we wouldn't say trans women. there is a way to be respectful about transgender folks and acknowledge them without erasing women. you have generations of women who fought for equal rights to be visible and now all of a sudden the feminists on the left are either completely silent as women are getting attacked, or they are playing along with this. biological men and biological women are different. not controversial to say that
8:55 am
and certainly not controversial to acknowledge there is such a thing as women and that's important to discuss and accept before having any of these other conversations about trans issues. >> harris: you see on the left constantly the flex of we've hired a diverse player, a woman, someone black, all of that. and then this. it's counter, right? jason rantz, thank you. "outnumbered" after the break. . it feels like it's barely there. look at how much it holds, and it still stays thin! i've looked at myself in the mirror and i can't see it at all! that's the protection we deserve! mom. can we get a puppy, mom? please? girls, pets are a big expense. aww. [ audience cheers ] maybe try switching your car insurance to progressive. you could save hundreds. [ audience laughter ] thanks, tv dad. we'll think about it, okay? look what i found. -a puppy! -a puppy! oh, no, no.
