voices or with weapons. >> harris: the protests are going. last night after a day of it yesterday and shut down a major new york city bridge for more than 20 minutes as the protestors marched to the courthouse. others gathered in the subway station with the 34-year-old jordan neely died on monday. some demanding a criminal prosecution now for the former u.s. marine who put neely in a choke hold after neely reportedly started yelling and threatening passengers. progressive congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez getting into the mix early quoting neely's death was a public execution. before that she called it a murder. the death, however, was ruled a homicide by the coroner's office simply meaning the cause was another person. mayor eric adams called

alexandria ocasio-cortez's claims irresponsible. >> those will criticize no matter what's done. i have a responsibility for this entire city. and i have faith in the criminal justice system and i am going to let the process take its place. those who believe that i should do something differently, i respect that. but i have to make the right decision for the city of new york. >> harris: 27 other people have died in our subway system here. they didn't get this kind of response from the far left. the pressure again is on that d.a. alvin bragg. will he call this something that will pitch to the far left and keep them happy? is that the goal for the soft on crime prosecutor? we'll watch. for now fox news senior correspondent laura engel with more. >> the mayor of new york city continues to ask for patience while the investigations play out as the voices demanding justice for jordan neely grow louder with many enraged by what

they have seen so far. this cell phone video we've been watching of the deadly struggle in the subway continues to draw questions about what happened leading up to the moment that a 24-year-old former marine held neely down on the ground in that deadly choke hold? witnesses say neely was screaming and threatening passengers as you mentioned. the former marine has not been charged in the death. fox news has learned he hired criminal defense attorney thomas kenneth a manhattan d.a. alvin bragg's formal rival who ran against him in the race for manhattan d.a. in 2021. a former manhattan assistant d.a. talked about the possible charges the former marine could face. >> involuntary manslaughter. that he was reckless in choking him for an extended period of time and that he was not authorized to use that level of force. >> protestors marched last night from barclay center if brooklyn to lower manhattan shutting down parts of the manhattan bridge.

spray painting the street with justice for jordan and at times clashing with police and chanting we reject eric adams for not calling this death a murder. the mayor applauding the police for getting to the scene so quickly. >> as a former transit cop, i did it as a career. i know what it is to have to respond to a job in the subway system. those officers did a great job. >> still more to go. nypd and manhattan d.a. investigate. they hope more witnesses will come forward. >> harris: thanks for getting us started on the story. free speech on full display. opinion editors are churning out op-eds. this one. what happened to jordan neely is the city's failure to police subways and treat mentally ill. another with jordan neely and george floyd syndrome makes

these three points. one, if reports are accurate, neely's actions arguably justified a defensive response. two, his character and past became irrelevant once he had been restrained. three, vigilante justice only happens when a law enforcement void is created. retired nypd inspector paul mauro with this. >> remember the context. we have had a rash of stuff in the subways with people pushing women in front of trains, doing all kinds of stuff. you heard some of the verbiage from mr. neely from that witness who says things like i'm done. i don't care if i die, etc. those are signals to people trapped in that car. this is going really bad. all the racial arsonists in this town are topping off their gas cans. it is a disgrace to see. >> harris: let's get to in "focus" now steve hilton host of the next revolution.

can we start with what paul mauro said. all the racial arsonists are topping off their gas cans at this point. >> exactly. that is what is so terrible about this story. there is a human tragedy at the heart of it that we shouldn't forget. and we weren't there and don't know exactly what happened. we've seen pictures and video. it will emerge. we can't make a judgment about all the context. what we can see is what the left is doing right now to use this to exploit it for their own political partisan advantage to push their extremism and that is totally reckless and irresponsible. we heard a comment there the argument this wasn't authorized to use force to that extent. it seems to a lot of people the ones who are these days authorized to use whatever force they want are the criminals. that's what has happened in our big cities run by these far left democrats. i have to say eric adams seems to be striking the right tone in his remarks and that's all good.

let's remember what the real story is here. he was elected on the promise to stop the crime and chaos in new york, specifically elected on the promise to stop the crime and chaos on the subway. there is still is. we have to remember there is a political responsibility here to create a situation where a city is safe and orderly and people feel safe and secure going about their daily business. then you won't have incidents like this. >> harris: i was in the elevator moments ago and something caught my ear from laura ingraham on the air at the time a few minutes ago saying there are two options here. treat the mentally ill, those people in trouble or they go to jail. you cannot live in a population, steve, where everybody is on edge based on something they can never predict. >> exactly. again, eric adams made very strong promises. that's why he won and why he actually won in the primary and

general election in new york. he was the one that seemed to recognize the desperate need in new york to deal with these problems and yet maybe he is trying but it is not good enough. the situation still doesn't seem to be improving for too many people. in terms of the mentally ill, it is absolutely right they need proper treatment. now, i don't think i would say that the choices are stark as sending them to jail if they haven't committed a crime. but if they need help they should get the help that they need. that's a long-term process. they go on and on the left about investing in this and investing in that and healthcare and taxes seem to go up and up and up but the services that cities need to look after everyone, including those who are most desperate, never seem to be there. and the actual outcomes seem to be worse. >> harris: the idea that aoc and others on the far left are jumping on this particular situation is really a head scratcher because we've covered it here on the "focus."

27 other people have violently died on the subway system since march of 2020. one op-ed says jordan neely matters but asks where are progressives when those others were killed? look, it is a fair question because we talk about race but many of those victims were black. what is it that aoc, why does she suddenly get involved on this one? i know there is an ethics investigation into the dress she wore to the met a few years ago and how she paid for it or didn't. is she trying to get some spotlight here? what's the political play? >> what it reveals is in many ways the defining characteristic of today's far left extremist democrats. they are not interested in substance, in the actual outcomes of policy and what happens in the real world. the only thing that they care about is sending the right message to their activist base to if you like the term we used

to use was virtue signaling. it is ideology signaling. all they care about. the actual consequences of the policies of the people they support are completely uninteresting to them and especially the consequences. the most shameful thing. for the very people, the aoc and others on the far left say they care about. the poorest, most vulnerable, people in minority communities, they are the ones hurt the most by the far left policy. people on the far left don't care about actual outcomes. they just care about riling up their activists on twitter and social media and sending the right ideological message so they look like a virtuous ones. the exact opposite of virtue and it is really disgraceful. >> harris: she is putting a lot of toxic words and behaviors into an eco system that needs to be calm and that's what the mayor is talking about.

we'll cover every inch of story as it happens. the d.a. right now is at the center of it. what will you do if you've been soft on crime and you are ultra liberal? who will you pitch to? how will he do his job, alvin bragg. we'll cover that. steve, a viral video has highlighted the nationwide controversy over transgender issues. it shows a transgender student assaulting two girls at a california high school. it was reportedly over an incident in the girls' locker room. one person said it's time they protect girls and women. let's watch that. >> hello, ladies and gentlemen. and only ladies and gentlemen and gentleman it is and shall always be. why are we affirming the mental confusion of this boy and putting the safety of women in jeopardy by allowing mentally confused men to use the women's spaces? what about the true girls like myself who are female down to

our dna. why don't we get a say in whether or not we're comfortal with this? the majority of us aren't and yet nothing has been done to protect the safety of these women. >> harris: spoken like a grown-up. the issue front and center in florida as well. state democrats there are tearing into a bill awaiting the governor's signature. your reaction to this situation. >> i just think it is incredibly sad. here we have a situation where yet again ideology is triumphing over what should be at the heart of these conversations, which is our humanity. i take the view that it is a good thing that people can be who they want to be, live how they want to live. that's important. that is about kindness and compassion and treating people with the respect that they deserve and treating them as human beings. at the same time we have to make sure that everyone feels safe and protected. that word you hear the whole time feeling safe. that applies to everybody. i think yet again you see the

people in charge, the people who are supposed to be making decisions to keep people safe are doing the exact opposite in the name of ideology. as a result you get these emotions so high and get people feeling angry and resentful that they aren't being listened to. applying on every side of this argument. we have to lower the temperature and remember our humanity. >> harris: i do want to quickly get to the situation in florida that's awaiting the governor's signature. the measure would make it a misdemeanor offense to use a bathroom that doesn't align with a person's birth gender. the safety and private spaces act. females and males should be protected for facilities for their exclusive use respective to their sex in order to maintain public safety, decency, decorum and privacy. what are your thoughts on that? >> i think it's ridiculous that we are treating this issue. the opposite of how we need to

go. we need to lower the temperature. not criminalize this. leave it to people's common sense and decency and kindness and compassion. politicians are reckless in the way they're exploiting this for partisan reasons. it is a really difficult issue for people to resolve and the best way you do it is through humanity, not legislation. >> harris: that young girl and others that i've spoken with, look, they have a point. why are women left out of this conversation? why are young girls using facilities at schools left out of the conversation? why are young women like the one who spoke left out of the conversation when we're the ones that will get caught when whatever they're doing is wrong, if they guess wrong? >> that's exactly what i'm saying. everybody needs to calm down and treat this with kindness and

compassion and respect for everyone. not start yelling at people and certainly not having the politicians wading into something like this and trying to make political capital out of it. everyone needs to feel safe. everyone needs to feel safe and protected. not just those that ideology favors at any time for politicians and activists. >> harris: thank you, great to see you. exclusive drone footage. what it will look like when 42 restrictions end next week. we don't know. this is a preview. a new bipartisan push to stem the tide. look at that line. the drip, drip, drip of accusations now going full gush. >> we have really a bombshell whistleblower coming out alleging there is a document that shows there is an elaborate

scheme with a foreign national. i think it is of grave concern to all americans. >> harris: that linking joe biden to a criminal bribery scheme. the white house reaction. you can guess what it might be. congressman stewart of utah in "focus" next. but, always flexfoam did! it protects against different flows for up to zero leaks. and it flexes to fit all bodies, for up to zero feel. feel it yourself with always flexfoam. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health. yaaay! woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪

>> i'll have to refer you to the justice department. >> do you know what country this pertains or policy decision >> referring it to the justice department. >> harris: don't like the hook get you. national security spokesman john kirby there bobbing and weaving

and getting a hook. no questions about a new whistleblower -- house oversight chair james comer say the new whistleblower claims the department of justice and f.b.i. have a file which describes an alleged bribery scheme involving then vice president joe biden and a foreign national. here is the oversight chairman james comer. >> we had determined the whistleblower is extremely credible and based on the bank record and based on the fact that nine different biden family members have been receiving payments from a web of llcs that are receiving payments from our adversaries around the world, this fits a pattern of questionable behavior that the biden family members have been doing to receive funds. >> harris: that word pattern is particularly interesting.

now time to show the evidence. we need to see it. a new op-ed is asking is justice burying hard evidence of actual joe biden crimes? that's the d.o.j. getting some pressure now. quote, we have no idea how far comer and company will get in ferreting out the truth from justice on these or other allegations. but it sure makes you wonder how many whistleblowers may have been squelched already. this is the second one. republican congressman chris stewart of utah sits on the intelligence and appropriations committees and a member of the select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government. great to have you if "focus" today. your top line thoughts where we are. a second whistleblower. the first was i.r.s. with hunter biden. this one putting pressure on the biden family through the president. >> yeah. it was really interesting to me mr. kirby's response yesterday.

surely he knows if this is true. surely he knows if there is an investigation ongoing regarding the accusations if there was actual bribery when president biden was then vice president. he didn't deny it. you would think he would say this is nonsense and not true. he said no comment and then immediately leaves the stage. as i say it's interesting to me. you know, harris, there are a couple of things that could be happening here. maybe department of justice has investigated this and found there is no evidence supporting it. if that's true they should tell us. the second is maybe -- and the second point is perhaps they are investigating it now vigorously working hard as we would expect this justice department. i hope you sense my sarcasm there. the greater possibility is they are done with all the other accusations ignore it or try to squelch it or diminish it to not

give it any credibility. look, this is just too dramatic. this is something we've never, ever seen before, accusations like this against a sitting president. there will have to be acknowledgement of it and some information provided. >> harris: how do you justify, too. we'll leave admiral kirby where he was getting the hook at the lectern in the white house if that's how you want to go out, okay. how do you justify what the left did and the d.o.j. with a former president donald trump to this with whistleblowers and now what they are saying in credible evidence. again we need to see the evidence. the american people need to know what it is. they have to -- the f.b.i. has to turn over that form fd1023 that tells us about those meetings between biden and some foreign business person. your thoughts on it. >> well, you say how to justify it. you know this. you can't justify it. it is beyond any political

explanation at all. why you have the incredibly aggressive investigations into donald trump beginning from the very day he is brought into office. you have russian investigation that we now know was absolute nonsense. by the way, i can't wait to talk with mr. clapper and mr. brennan in a few weeks regarding that. then you have impeachment 1 and 2 and january 6th that goes on and on with these other indictments that we have seen recently. at the same time, a justice department who will tell us nothing about this. who denies any knowledge of it and who has taken five years now -- five years to investigate hunter biden, for example, with very obvious apparent criminal activity. the american people look at this and can't square it. it makes no sense to them other than it's just unfair. >> harris: it is tough. they're running out of time. if republicans come quickly with

the facts and evidence. if the whistleblower is identified. we don't know what we don't know. if we see a situation that makes it complicated for joe biden, his approval is already so low, 54% of democrats have already said in polling that maybe they want somebody else. it will get very politically interesting and pressure filled for the current president. all right. let's move to this. new fox drone video shows illegal immigrants pouring over our southern border in the dead of night. lit up by infrared. it could get so much worse and dire for men and women trying to protect the border and stem the tide after title 42 health restrictions end next thursday. remember, they were covid driven. republican senator thom tillis and independent kyrsten sinema plan to introduce a bill that would let expulsions continue after title 42 ends. senator john cornyn with in.

>> the administration is so out of touch. mayokas says the border is secure. president biden says we'll send 1500 troops down there. that will fix the problem. this just demonstrates how clueless they really are about what is causing this problem and what needs to be done to fix it. >> harris: is the problem that they're clueless? is anything else going on? >> i like mr. cornyn. they aren't clueless at all. they know exactly what is happening there and they are causing it and it is their intention for this to happen. it is not that they're mysteriously unaware. yet when the president's spokesman comes out and makes absurd claim that somehow illegal immigration is down 90% under this presidency. let's call the sky green instead of blue. everyone knows it's not true. we've got to work urgently with this. perhaps we could pass legislation that would compel the same outcomes as title 42 but we only have a couple days to do it. even if we do do that, there is

somewhere between 2 and 3 million people who crossed the border illegally. >> harris: it would prove the president isn't doing everything he could. if they will make it about politics, at least then take a step as republicans and let the american people know just like the house speaker mccarthy did with the debt ceiling. you are pushing with what has to happen. great to have you. >> i couldn't agree with you more. thank you. this is a crisis of their own making and the american people realize that. >> harris: good to see you. thank you so much. three major banks have collapsed if recent months. americans are worried about where they put their money. they don't trust the institutions with their money. what does it mean for you and your cash? david asman in "focus" next. pain was keeping me from being fully present with my family. but now i can be myself again... with my favorite people in my favorite places. blue-emu is the powerful relief i need.

>> harris: we come in with a fox news alert.

april job numbers out today and they beat expectations. 253,000 jobs added last month. the unemployment rate dipped a bit to 3.4%. president biden with twitter a victory lap. my plan to invest in america is working. fox business's larry kudlow said the numbers are deceptive. >> the big story here is it's not a strong jobs number because it turns out the two prior months were revised lower by a substantial amount. march was revised lower by 71,000, and february was revised lower by 78,000. that's a total of 149,000 lower reductions. that's awfully important because that's the way the math goes. so this was a sloppy number. >> harris: fox business anchor david asman in "focus" now. i always come to you to break it

down in a few words for the lay people like myself. >> all right. in a few words, we saw the unemployment level down to historic -- they haven't been this low in 50 years, 3.4. but the bottom line is the reason they are down a tick in this particular report is because the labor force shrank by 43,000 people. that is 43,000 people got out of the labor force and that brought down the number to that 3.4%. >> harris: where did they go >> staying at home. retiring early. doing all kinds of things they can do now. the government is spending so much to keep them at home. what larry pointed out, too, let's to an interesting question. are these numbers coming out every month cooked a little bit in order to look better than they really are? we have the past two months with incredible revisions that bring that number down by 100,000 jobs for february and march.

so is the same thing going to happen next month with april numbers? i would hate to believe these institutions that calculate the new jobs numbers are cooking numbers the way they do in mexico. i covered mexico for 12 years. famous for cooking the numbers. if we get into that kind of third world behavior we're in trouble. i'm not saying we are but it is interesting. the past two months revised way lower than what they first came out as. >> harris: that's fascinating. >> it is scary if the numbers are cooked. >> harris: these are numbers to cook, fry, bake. the median payment on a mortgage has soared by more than 85% in the past three years. the march the median monthly payment was $2100 compared to just over $1100 in april of 2020. so you and i had an off-camera discussion. you buy the same house back in april of 2020 and your mortgage

was 1,128. you buy the same house today and it is 2,100. did i get more windows? what did i get? >> you got a better price probably in the overall price. because mortgage rates have gone up so spectacularly much from the way they were 2 or 3 years ago it is the extra rate hike that is costing you money. cost you a lot of money. by the way, it is not only costing you the home buyer more but the government more to pay its debts because their interest rates are going up and that increases the overall debt which puts inflation in even sharper focus. >> harris: real quickly, the information that came out this week is really disturbing that more than 50% of americans could not absorb and emergency that would cost $4 hundred. they just don't have that. they would have to borrow money to come up with $4 hundred. those numbers seem very antiquated to me. old school. recession school. >> it is even worse.

if they borrow money they are paying exorbitant interest rates that we haven't seen for 30 or 40 years. so that's really what's -- by way, those mortgage numbers are even worse. remember the new rule change that went into effect on monday, may one that says if you have a good credit score you will be forced to pay more to subsidize the people that have bad credit scores. they say it's only $40 a month. add that up over 30 years, $14,000. you are spending an extra $14,000 to bail out people that have bad credit. >> harris: you know what people will do? they won't buy right now. the fed likes that. it cools the economy. that hurts businesses who make their money when we buy houses. >> and the people who are buying houses don't have good credit that's badment >> harris: three bank failures are unfolded under biden's watch. they're imploding, or have

imploded just since march. some analysts predict rising federal interest rates could spark more bank collapses. a new poll finds half of all americans are very or moderately worried about the safety of their own cash in our nation's banks. david. >> you should be. what is happening, of course. the irony is biden claims he is for the little guy whether it's a little person or little bank or whatever it is. the little banks are getting screwed by all the new regulations they have out and the new regulators that are part of the biden administration, he claims he is helping small banks, small banks are not being allowed to combine with other small banks to survive this crisis. guess who is getting the great sweetheart deals? chase manhattan bank. >> harris: some democrat donors that park their cash there? >> you know what the "wall street journal" thinks? it was with svb. the journal says it is hard not

to included that the regulators like big banks that they can politically control. the industrial policy mechanism. i don't know if the journal is write. >> harris: american people get it. they get this. they know what's going on here. david asman. great to see you. >> thank you very much. happy friday. >> harris: president biden is a shoe-in for the 2024 nomination. really? not so fast says one top democratic strategist. plus a lot of people are really not big fans of our military going woke. >> the video like this or initiative like this in recruiting a drag queen ambassador is only likely to worsen our recruiting crisis, not help it. >> harris: it is getting more backlash and demands for answers from the defense secretary.

in fresh recruits. just last march defense secretary lloyd austin said this in testimony. >> air force base you had the drag, on june 17th. who funded these things? >> drag shows are not something the department of defense supports or funds. >> harris: oh. does that mean they don't care what he says? they are doing it. republican congressman jim banks demanding answers now. in a letter to secretary austin he is asking given your contradictory testimony, were you aware of the navy's digital ambassador program when you testified that the department of defense does not support drag shows? senator tom cotton, an army veteran, says this. >> the navy, like most of our services under president biden face a recruiting crisis. using a drag queen ambassador is not a solution to that crisis, it is an example of a major

cause of the crisis. young americans join the military because they want to serve our nation. they join to become warriors. they don't join to become social justice warriors. >> harris: all the backlash summed up in the headlines. going woke won't fix the military's recruitment problem. another. navy's drag queen a symbol of cultural knar sis many. the navy's bud light moment. marc thiessen and patrick murphy. great to see you both. congressman. you served. what do you say about a program using drag queens to try to recruit? >> well harris, thanks for having me on. the good news is that as you reported last segment there are 12.7 new jobs in america the last 12 years. the bad news is we are hurting. we are short in warriors joining

our military. going on year after year. the trump administration and now the biden administration. when our economy is going better it is harder to recruit and the amy, army, navy -- >> harris: are you going to get to the drag queen part? >> they are going to churches, and everywhere. >> harris: first thank you for your service. you served in iraq. see anybody in the battlefield in a beautiful dress? they are shoot that person first because they aren't in camo. is this how you get more people to join seriously. >> in the military we said shut up. you be you on your own time. >> harris: you have to be you in camo. >> but we're not talking -- people are getting all fired up what this guy is doing on his private time. >> harris: secretary austin was asked about this. come on, if it were just his private time don't you think the secretary would have said i

don't know what people do in their private time. that's not what he said. >> this is just like the bud light controversy except for a big difference. our national security isn't hurt if bud light flows itself up but our national security is hurt if we don't have the recruitment. they're short to be short 21,000 recruits. four of the five mill temporary brans are expected to be short of their recruiting goals this year. a national security crisis. the reason why bud light failed so badly is they had contempt for their audience. they wanted to get rid of their fraty brand and elevate their brand. the pentagon is doing is same thing with the military. people don't join the military to express individualism but to serve a cause larger than themselves. basic training you aren't expressing your individualism. they are turning it into a part

of a unit to sacrifice everything forbrothers at arms. this is not the way to recruit people. you want to recruit people who want to sacrifice and patriotic and want to serve the countries. you appeal to those things. not this expression of individualism. >> harris: you remember that. you remember recruitment. it happened to you. >> i do. >> harris: we have to move to this and i'll bring you back. an incumbent president is usually a lock for his party's nomination but president biden already faces two primary challengers. percentages are an interesting situation. one democratic strategist warns. >> any time an incumbent president is challenged in the primaries, whether it be jimmy carter, george h.b. bush, they the end to be weakened for the

general election. so i don't believe that joe biden is out of the woods. i think there will be a protest vote. >> harris: the latest fox polling as you saw shows challenger robert f. kennedy junior with 19% support. self-help author marianne williamson at 9%. combine that for 28% of the voters at this point. you inch up a little more and you will be at a third. as of now, the dnc has no plans to hold primary debates. podcast host joe rogan one of money to slam that decision. >> how do we get a better democrat if you don't let the president debate? they won't let him debate. robert kennedy junior and the other woman, marianne williamson are both promising candidates for the democratic party but they won't let him debate before the primaries. it's like that is not that democratic. >> harris: joe rogan couldn't

remember her name. you have a kennedy in the race. i don't know that you ignore that congressman murphy. >> first off, donald trump the president said he wasn't going to debate until the general as well in the primary. with all due respect to joe rogan. >> harris: the current president won't debate. imagine when those two men get together if they're the nominees. at least donald trump is out on the trail. working and getting a work-out right now with voters. where is joe biden? >> he said he wasn't going to debate in the republican primary this cycle. >> harris: you went to trump instead of biden. >> listen -- >> think about this. robert f. kennedy is an absolute nobody. never health elective office. >> harris: you give him a pass? >> my point is he is a radical

environmental activist and polling at 19%. 19%. he has a larger percentage of the vote than every one of the republican contenders except for trump and desantis. what does that say about joe biden in imagine if a real candidate got in the race and tried to challenge him. joe biden is 68% of the country say he is too old to be president. they are right. he will get into a debate with robert f. kennedy and he will ask what country he was in last week and he can't remember ireland. >> harris: can't make that up. congressman, i want to give you a chance to respond to any of that. >> i think joe biden is the underdog this whole time. >> president biden: he is the incumbent. >> they didn't expect him to get the bipartisan infrastructure did and still knocking him down. even today he had 250,000 new jobs for the 13th straight month the economic wall street guys

said it will be lower and he has gotten higher. 12.7 million new jobs in two years. >> harris: i want you to know this matter. if there are more jobs and people are working them, it means their paycheck doesn't cover as much because of the high inflation. if there is a $4 hundred emergency they break. that's not good enough. we have to break. thank you to you both.
