8:00 am
covid. they put a plan down by bloomberg and executed that plan during the covid years ripped up a lot of streets. moved parked cars to different lanes to make room for bicycle lanes. the streets are single lane throughout the entire island of manhattan and it can be a mess. >> dana: it is scary to jump on the sidewalk with so many pedestrians. harris faulkner will take it from here. >> harris: we'll stay on breaking news. we begin with a fox news alert. right now the funeral for chicago police officer preston is getting underway. she was shot and killed on her way home from work nearly two weeks ago. her family, friends, colleagues and nation are saying their
8:01 am
final goodbyes. a sea of blue in remembrance of her service and life cut short. we will bring you more of these incredibly moving images throughout the hour. it is national police week. we honor all law enforcement. we bow our heads today for officer preston in illinois. 306 pages now of a problem in painfully slow motion for the feds and liberal media who are begging the durham case to go away. social counsel john durham's report found the f.b.i. investigation into donald trump should never have happened. millions of taxpayer dollars to show just how political and dirty they were playing at the top of the agency and the department of justice. of course, the left wants all of this to go away.
8:02 am
but the facts have a stubborn way of remaining in the spotlight. in is the "the faulkner focus." republicans and bill barr hammering home the gravity of durham's findings. >> the real story is what a witch hunt. if it wasn't one it is a damn good imitation of one. >> it raises the question about adam schiff. you remember when he told the american people he had proof? >> harris: here are just a few of those many, many false times. >> so there is clear evidence on the issue of collusion and this adds to the body of evidence. there is ample evidence of collusion in plain sight. that is true. >> have democrats found any evidence of collusion? >> yes, we have. you can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion, compelling evidence.
8:03 am
there is anything evidence of collusion. of collusion of people in the trump campaign with the russians. plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy. all of this is evidence of collusion. there is significant evidence of collusion between the campaign and russia. >> harris: boasting about things they didn't have. most people would call those lies. there was no evidence that they speak of. durham's report claim one of congressman schiff's staffers intimidated a researcher after that researcher expressed hesitancy to help team schiff investigate the bogus trump/russia ties. the "wall street journal" editorial board laying out a big picture. why the durham report matters to democracy. a quote. the russia collusion deexcept exception is a travesty that shouldn't be forgotten. washington's establishment refuses to acknowledge its role in this deceit is one reason why
8:04 am
so many americans don't trust public institutions. it will take years for honest public servants to undo the damage but the durham accounting is a start. the "new york post" cover today, savage, two words. whack job. in "focus" now one of our nation's top attorneys, republican senator josh hawley of missouri, member of the judiciary and homeland security committees and senator, you have argued before the u.s. supreme court and federal and state courts. look at that finding. break down that report with a few short words that every american needs to hear. >> absolutely devastating. it says the corruption at the f.b.i. has become a threat to our republic. what it shows is a political campaign, the hillary clinton campaign using the f.b.i., weaponizing the f.b.i. and hijacking the f.b.i. to interfere in a presidential election and try to rig it. they almost got by with it. they just about did it.
8:05 am
and they absolutely succeeded in interfering with a presidency. the trump presidency. let's never forget the f.b.i. lied repeatedly to a secret court in order to get wiretaps on trump associates. we cannot allow this to go forward. the durham report lays the corruption bare. >> harris: you heard us say many times on this program that there are thousands upon thousands of people at both those agencies, justice and the f.b.i., who do magnificent work every day. this was leadership all the way at the top operating dirty. why? what's in it for them? >> politics, harris. what we're seeing here is liberal, radical liberal political leadership in the f.b.i. and let's be honest here. they want to call the shots in this country. what the durham report, the question it raises is who is in charge here? you have a leadership at the f.b.i. that wants to run presidential campaigns. that thinks that they should be
8:06 am
able to choose who the president is. you look at what durham uncovered and what people were saying about trump in 16 and they were saying this guy should never be president and we'll do basically whatever it takes, whatever it takes to prevent him from becoming president. harris, that's why we have elections. undermining democracy is the real threat here. >> harris: let's talk about how this maybe affected an election. if that's why we have them, did this stand in the way? absolutely it did. >> the clintons were successful in getting the f.b.i. to open an investigation and laundered it through the press. you remember all the stories in 2016 and the fall of 2016 about russia collusion, russia collusion, all pushed by hillary clinton and then her allies in the media. all of them premised on nothing. we now know nothing whatsoever. and yet the f.b.i. there they are doing the investigation, there they are lying to courts. there they are surveilling a
8:07 am
presidential campaign. it had an effect, you bet it did. this is a danger to our free election system to have the most powerful law enforcement body in the world interfering and intervening. >> harris: i want to get to the liberal media's part in all of this and just from your point of view, what evidence there is that they might be complicit, along with the feds in all of this. what are your thoughts on that? >> certainly they are complicit in the sense they now know and have known for months and years now there was no evidence of collusion, there was no basis for this investigation and i'm still waiting for the apologies and retractions from "the new york times," the "washington post", cnn, the biggest disinformation spewers out there. what have they acknowledged that their reporting was false? you played the clips of schiff. we could play clips of news anchor after news anchors on
8:08 am
those outlets. have you heard an apology? i haven't. they are in on it. >> harris: we didn't after the laptop, the whole oh it's disinformation and russia disinformation. there were clarifications and some acknowledgements in that case and in this one but a full throated we're so sorry if we led you to believe one thing, no, no, no, definitely not. i want to get to this. this isn't just the media and feds. it goes to the white house. the white house press secretary with this reaction to a question on the report yesterday. we know now that then v.p. biden was briefed on the f.b.i. probe into trump. let's watch. >> what is the white house reaction to special counsel durham's report on how the f.b.i. handled the trump/russia probe. does he agree with special counsel durham there needs to be changes at the f.b.i.? >> that is not something i'll speak from the podium. i will see you guys in japan. >> harris: she pretty much had
8:09 am
roller skates on there. your reaction. >> clearly a white house that doesn't want to confess to the many improprieties that the president has been involved in. you bet he knew about this. obama and biden were briefed and told that hillary clinton was trying to start this rumor, this lie that donald trump was colluding with russia. they knew it way back in the spring and early summer of 2016 and they went out there and said there is no partisanship. this is not politically motivated. they knew it was. even worse, one of the key people who pushed this lie at the time jake sullivan, hillary clinton's right-hand man, is now the national security advisor for the united states government working for joe biden. how is he still in office? how can this guy show his face? he should be removed immediately by the president. >> harris: we'll move on to this. today on capitol hill women
8:10 am
sports activist riley gaines urging the senate to pass the house republican bill banning transgender athletes from women's and girls sports. let's take a watch. >> i was thrust into this position unfortunately by being unfairly put in the competition against a mediocre male who beat every other woman in the nation, which was a heartbreaking feeling to know that we didn't matter. our feelings, our privacy, our safety, our dignity, our mental health. what mattered to the left was protecting the feelings of the male at the expense of our own. >> harris: the biden administration's proposal to handle the issue would make changes to title ix. it would impose minor limit on biological males competing against actual women and girls and strip federal funding from schools that institute bansment
8:11 am
republican lawmakers pressing the education secretary on the issue yesterdayment lets -- yesterday. does it mean your department would take away school lunch programs for needy kids because a state or school won't allow a boy to compete against a girl in sports? >> going back to the civics if i could. >> i'm asking a question. a yes or no question, mr. secretary. >> i'm proud of the work we're doing to make sure all students. >> madam chair. the answer is yes. >> harris: senator hawley. >> he knew the answer. the answer is yes. this is an administration that wants to erase women and the protections for women's sports. there is no other way around it. because the left decided there is no such thing as male or female. they decided that women should be able to -- should have to accept the burden of biological men who want to be in locker rooms and compete against them.
8:12 am
if that means that suddenly there are no more women's sports available we're supposed to accept that in further answer of their radical left gender agenda. it is crazy stuff. nobody supports this. nobody. yet here they are doing it. >> harris: you can't pat us on the head and tell us we don't matter. we vote now and do a lot of things now. things have changed. they don't like change. senator, speaking of manhood and all of the like, your new book manhood the masculine virtues america needs is out right now. you wrote about the issues you tackle. a new op-ed on foxnews.com. america's men are in crisis and it is rooted in the lie. >> the lie is by being a man you make the world a worst place. the lie is we don't need strong, responsible men in the world and all masculinity is false. it's a call to arm to men to
8:13 am
stand up and take responsibility for your life. provide for your family, for your kids, for your wife. go out and change your life and family and change this nation by being a good, strong man. >> harris: the irony is. i'm glad you are hitting this topic. prosecutors like the liberal d.a. alvin] and others across the country want to say the reason why people catch themselves in such violent crime and became criminals is because there is no father in the home. but they don't want masculinity in the home. >> if you want to tackle the epidemic of youth violence, especially young male violence, put a dad in the home. you want to tackle the epidemic of child poverty, put a dad in the home. the message to men needs to be the opposite of what the left is saying. the message needs to be you are needed, you can change your family. you can change the destiny of your neighborhood and of this nation and we need you to. we need you to step up, be
8:14 am
strong, be good, be a protector and provider. >> harris: senator josh hawley of the great state of missouri. great to have you in "focus." thank you. >> thank you. >> harris: we're waiting now for the president of the united states to come in and talk about the debt limit and that wasn't a long wait. he has to do a deal with republicans. can he do it? let's watch. >> president biden: america's role in the world is vital especially right now working with other countries forsupport ukraine and take on the challenges that demand international cooperation from tackling the climate crisis to strengthening the global economy. before i leave, i want to say a word about the status of negotiations with the congressional leaders. we had a productive meeting yesterday and with all four leaders in the congress. it was civil and respectful and everyone came to the meeting in good faith. i'm confident that we'll get the
8:15 am
agreement on the budget that america will not default and every leader in the room understands the consequences if we fail to pay our bills and it would be catastrophic for the american economy and american people if we didn't pay our bills. i am confident everyone in the room agreed with the speaker, majority leader, to the majority leader in the house and senate. minority leader in the senate as well as the leader in the house. we'll come together because there is no alternative. we have to do the right thing for the country. we have to move on. and to be clear, this negotiation is about the outlines of what the budget will look like, not about whether or not we'll in fact pay our debts. the leaders all agree we will not default. every leader has said that. i'm proud of the progress my administration has made. we reduced the deficit by
8:16 am
1.7 trillion in the first two years. i proposed a budget to reduce another $3 trillion over the next decade including more revenue by asking the wealthy and large corporations to begin to pay their fair share. and cutting subsidies that exist in the law now to big oil and big pharma. yesterday we all agreed that both the speaker mccarthy and i would designate senior members that we will negotiate to give our authority to make agreements in detail what we want so we narrowed the group to meet and hammer out our differences and we've done that. they met last night and meet again today and i'll be in constant contact with my team while im at the at the g7 and close touch with speaker mccarthy and other leaders as well. now what i have done in anticipation that we won't get it all done until i get back is i've cut my trip short in order
8:17 am
for the final negotiations and sign the deal with the majority leader. i made clear that -- i'll say it again -- america is not a deadbeat nation. we pay our bills. the nation has never defaulted on its debt and it never will. we'll continue these discussions with the congressional leaders in the coming days until we reach and agreement. i will have more to say about that on sunday when i will have a press conference on this issue. as it stands now the intention is to go to the g7, be back here on sunday, hold a press conference and in the meantime i've spoken to the australian leader, i will be seeing him at the g7. he will be there as well, along with the indian prime minister and along with the japanese as well. so the quad members will be there and get a chance to talk
8:18 am
separately at the meeting. but it is unlikely i will be going on to australia. thank you very much. >> mr. president, what about work requirements specifically are you still considering? it sounds like it is still on the table and you haven't ruled it out. which would you be willing to accept? >> president biden: i'm not going to accept any work requirements that's going to impact on medical health needs of people. i'm not going to accept any work requirements that go much beyond what is already. i voted years ago for the work requirements that exist. but it's possible there could be a few others, not anything of any consequence. thank you. >> australia, that was important for you for the trip. this has to be put aside. is this almost a win for china? >> president biden: no. we're still meeting and have
8:19 am
four good allies. [several shouted questions] >> you will be meeting or speaking with president xi? >> harris: that was hard to understand. the president there just shouted a question from a reporter who i should say reporter shouted a question at the president who was trying to ask about when will you be meeting with president of china xi? and he -- it sounded like a mumble. nobody could make it out. we couldn't make it out and we have microphones right on him there. we know that is not happening right away because apparently xi is not taking phone calls from the white house and the president of the united states. that has been reported for many days now. will that situation change? one of the things that has been floated is that the white house would consider -- and this
8:20 am
president would consider not even holding china accountable for that spy craft that went across the entire continental united states. just let that go. i would say not just republicans at this point but all americans would want to know why that would be. what do we get out of the deal if we just ignore their bad and dangerous behavior flying over nuclear sites in our country? the president making news on a couple of accounts. he says he will not accept requirements for benefits like medicaid. that's part of the gop deal. he says he will give a fresh news conference on sunday when he gets back from the g7 in japan and that's when people can answer questions. i took two. and this negotiation is about an outline of what budgets will look like, not about spending cuts and that he and speaker mccarthy have worked out a smaller narrowed group of leadership to work on their differences. it is the first time i've heard him say the word negotiate but
8:21 am
not about spending cuts, he says today. we're all over this with the president of the united states delaying his trip for the g7 by a couple of days to do a debt ceiling deal. didn't get it done but he says they're closer. president biden's road to the democratic nomination may get harder and harder and maybe harder than he expects. robert f. kennedy junior says he is by far the better man for the job and his message could be resonating now with voters. recent fox polling shows kennedy and author mary anne willianson with decent numbers among democratic voters. biden gets just over 60% in the poll. that's historically low as a lead for an incumbent president. the rest is 28%. you are moving toward a third of the vote. wow. mark meredith is live at the white house. we just heard from the president on one thing. mark, the next.
8:22 am
if you're there on sunday i know you will pepper him with questions. >> we'll still be trying to work out the timeline of that. the schedule changed a little bit. the president scrubbed part of his trip to australia and new againy after the g7 in japan. the president will take questions on sunday. trying to find out the exact time frame. mentioned back here at the white house. i wonder if it could be the original stop in japan. we want to talk about what you are mentioning. the race for 2024. so much of the political focus has been on the republican presidential primaries but there is a lot of talk whether or not we'll see a divided democratic primary. the president launched his re-election bid less than a month ago and facing some challengers. his campaign manager started on the job yesterday and the polls show the president still faces a large uphill battle in winning over his own party. a recent abc "washington post" poll found 58% of people who lean democrat would like to see
8:23 am
someone other than president biden. one challenger in the race is robert f. kennedy lawyer. nephew of the late john f. kennedy tells bret baier says he thinks democrats want choices. >> the president says that the american economy is humming along. that's not what i hear when i'm out in western pennsylvania or ohio, new hampshire, florida. i see people really living in a state of desperation that i never thought i would see in the united states of america. >> there are so many x factors of what next year could look like. rumblings manchin might dip his toe in the water. he told them if i get into an election, whatever i get into, i am going to win. i am not going to lose. i have only lost one in my life in 1996 and i've been in many since 1980. another x-factor whether or not
8:24 am
we could see a third party candidate try to siphon the votes from the democrat or republican nominee. the president getting ready to head to japan. if the economy would crater, that could complicate the president's re-election plans and see whether or not a deal comes to fruition. negotiations are on going. the president says he will have people working on his behalf and house republicans to get a deal done. >> harris: what if he doesn't? he wears a very undersized sweater. it will be tight for him. running yes but dealing with the reality he didn't get it done. let's hope for america that they do get a deal done. >> absolutely. >> harris: power panel now. great to see you both. first all, i want to get your top line thoughts about a
8:25 am
kennedy in the race at this point, rfk junior and day i had, i will come to you. i have heard people in your party call him all sorts of names and blah, blah, blah. the fact of the matter is if you get 19% of support, they aren't votes, but support. is that a cause for worry? >> i don't think it is a cause for worry. biden is well on his way to secure the democratic nomination. the poll mentioned earlier, 58% of democrats want someone else. well once you put a name and face on that person, those numbers start to plummet. rfk junior, i believe that his 20% polling number that he got, he got that number before he even opened his mouth and said any bit of his platform. it has to do more with the fact he is a kennedy than anything else. but once people actually see his platform i don't think any democrats will actually vote for him. i think rfk junior would be better suited to run in the
8:26 am
republican primary than in the democratic primary. when you see his talking points, he is talking a lot like donald trump and a lot less than joe biden. >> harris: on some issues. nobody would get him confused and he wouldn't let you. he knows who he is and talked about being a democrat. just because you are a democrat doesn't mean you can't appreciate what the other side is saying. a note this president ought to take and stamp it on his forehead. gui gui guillen -- 58% of democrats what anybody but biden. >> i don't think this is for joe biden something that he should be too concerned with. we've seen the democratic party, the dnc is willing to rig an election in favor of their preferred candidate. we saw it in 2016 with hillary clinton against bernie sanders and we're seeing it now. i will disagree with david on
8:27 am
this one point. he got this percentage before he opened his mouth. he was in single digits when he initially announced and now his ticket has grown and he is telling the truth on a number of issues that we haven't seen from joe biden and many democrats. a lot of folks are living in la la land and truth is something only when it favors you. if the mainstream media would actually cover robert kennedy junior fairly, his poll numbers would go up if they allowed him to debate his poll numbers would go up. democrats do not want to see joe biden run again. >> harris: joe manchin, we don't know, david if he is serious about getting in. he voted for the inflation reduction act that yielded nothing in energy for that
8:28 am
happened. i told him it would happen on this program and he said i was lying. the funeral for chicago police officer preston is underway. hundreds if not more gathering to honor that young officer who was killed in a robbery earlier this month. just yesterday, two members of the progressive democrat so-called squad voted against honoring police officers killed in the line of duty. how can you be against that? congresswoman talib and cori bush were the only no votes on a resolution to honor fallen cops and express condolences to their loved ones. backlash was quick. rick scott going after democrats tweeting shame on them for refusing to support our brave law enforcement officers. shame on those two. >> absolutely shameful. cori bush with all the money she spend for private security to
8:29 am
not acknowledge the value that our law enforcement officers across the nation bring. is there need for additional training? officers who made mistakes? sure. the majority of officers are honorable. city of chicago in 2021 announced by david brown that 76 officers were either shot or shot at in the city of chicago. it is terrible what's going on. the fact that law enforcement is not respected in that city and across the nation. i am happy to see that so many officers are out to support this beautiful young lady who chose to put her life on the line to help and protect those within the city of chicago. she was such an honorable woman and i'm so sorry to see what has happened and i hope that something like this isn't something that we will continue to see happen in chicago and across the nation. >> harris: david, i want to come to you. it is national police week. one might say the timing for
8:30 am
bush and talib could not have been worse to vote against it. how do you go against supporting your officers when democrat-led cities are under water for violent crime? >> first we have to point to the fact that 99.5% of all congressional democrats voted in in favor of that resolution. to say that talib and bush somehow speak for the democratic party would be like speaking -- so we have to make that distinction. then if we look further we see they did issue a statement clarifying their position that they support law enforcement, safety, that they had more of an issue with this being a referendum that the republicans are the protectors of emergency services, public safety. that's where the disagreement is. in no way should the democratic party get behind these two members of congress. that is not the representation
8:31 am
of the democratic party and what we have to put into perspective. people can have deflecting opinions, differing opinions, vote no on resolutions but we have to look further to see what are they talking about? what type of message are they trying to send? when they see these members they put forth that clarification that they were against this referendum but that in no way diminishes their support for the safety. >> no, we have to be honest here. these two women are stars of the democratic party and big behind the defund the police movement. this is absolutely in coordination with what they believe from the beginning. they don't support law enforcement and consistent in that. you say okay, 99% of democrats did support the resolution. but the truth is these are two stars within the democratic party and two individuals who are often a part of the media class that democrats listen to. we are talking about the activists, etc.
8:32 am
we have to be very honest about this. >> harris: we talk about the squad, even half of the squad voted in favor of this resolution as did all other democrats. i think what these members are trying to say it is not enough to pass a resolution. that we have to get serious about protecting the safety of all individuals but particularly law enforcement and making sure that we aren't just doing resolutions but backing them with policies. >> harris: you think they were trying to say. those would be interesting words to hear from them and for them to have put perhaps before their vote but that's not what happened. we are just going to cover the facts that they are in fact stars of the party and there is plenty of video out there with talib roughing it up with police officers trying to stick cuffs on her. maybe it's personal. she has had a nasty habit if her past of being a little loud of and out of control at some events. the law did its job. she continues to do her elected
8:33 am
job and we'll leave it there. david car lucci, former state senator of new york. thank you. gianno, you will stay with me. i want to bring in randy sutton. founder of the wounded blue and honor to have him on the program. let's talk as we watch the funeral gathering for officer a preston. when you can hear music. let's take a moment to take this in and we'll continue our conversation. [bagpipes playing]
8:34 am
>> harris: randy sutton is with us. i'm curious about your thoughts right now. first of all a huge gathering of people in chicago for arainna preston. >> it's because she was a hero. i really want to stress something here. that is that arainna died courageously. she died a warrior. she knew what was facing her. she saw four people who were armed coming towards her. she knew the danger that she was in and yet she involved herself in police combat to try and protect herself and protect the people of chicago. she died valiantly. i want to stress that warrior spirit, how important it is for all law enforcement officers to embody that warrior spirit.
8:35 am
unfortunately here she lost her life doing it. a true hero in every sense of the word. i just got back from the wall in washington, d.c., the memorial wall where we put hundreds of names from the last year, 247 names went on the wall this year and the police memorial. and i got to tell you, it was both pull of pain and full of pride. >> harris: 247 names went on the wall this year. you know, lieutenant sutton and gianno. i want to stay with the lieutenant for a moment. it is national police week and we honor and recognize and show gratitude to all law enforcement in our communities across america. mistakes are made and that we don't want to gloss over the entire picture here but that
8:36 am
entire picture to me, lieutenant, is overshadowed by our desperate need for police, particularly at this time in this country's history. >> you couldn't be more correct. i got to tell you, first of all i want to thank you f for acknowledging police week. i stood with 40,000 police officers and their families during the candlelight vigil the other night. which was breathtaking. it was -- if i could just describe it, imagine a sea of police officers wearing their uniforms proudly and their hands over their hearts saluting those who have paid that ultimate sacrifice. tears streaming down their eyes. it was a moment of absolute
8:37 am
pride within them and also exuded the honor that they gave to those men and women. >> harris: i am with you, lieutenant. we are both with you. and the nation is with you as we watch the casket carrying 24-year-old three-year veteran on the chicago police department arainna preston, police officer, a hero as you heard, a warrior. this is trinity united church of christ on the south side of chicago. she makes her final journey. let's take a moment.
8:38 am
officer arainna preston being remembered today and they'll eulogize her next inside the trinity united church of christ on the south side of chicago. we'll bring you more as this gets underway, this funeral, this memorial day. it is national police week. say thank you to an officer you see today. a house panel looking into recent attacks against pro-life centers. republicans say the biden white house is using the freedom of access to clinic entrances or the face act, to ignore those attacks and push their own agenda. mark hawk is a catholic pro-life activist at the center of this
8:39 am
issue right now. he detailed the moment his home was raided by the f.b.i. last year after he was accused of shoving an abortion clinic volunteer. let's watch. >> they show up at your house, 20 agents, guns drawn in front of your family. why do you think they did it? >> i've been thinking about that for many months. i can only come up with the intention was to humiliate me, scare my children and instill fear in pro-life americans. they screamed through the whole process. the committee should know they were traumatized. >> harris: in "focus" now mark, the pro-life advocate and father of seven children. also with me louisiana congressman mike johnson, member of the judiciary committee and select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government. gentlemen, wonderful to have you in "focus" so that you can take us into the story.
8:40 am
mark, i will start with you. first of all, take us back to that moment that you realized i'm under attack for what i believe. >> sure. i will never forget it. it was a very dark 6:30 morning september 23rd and i was not expecting the federal government to raid my home. i totally was surprised by the amount of force that was brought to bear. my children and i witnessed this. we've testified to it. we've lived the horror and still trying to deal with the effects of it. i'm grateful for the committee to allow me the opportunity to share the story and to share the journey. i applaud the leadership of chairman johnson and jim jordan and chip roy for what they are doing in supporting my family. >> harris: chairman johnson, talk to me about what is happening right now.
8:41 am
i mentioned face act. >> mark did a great job in our committee hearing yesterday sharing his story. they came with long guns to his front door. 20 f.b.i. agents stormed into his house, traumatized the whole family. completely unnecessary. mark's case is a perfect example of what is happening here truly the department of justice under the misguided leadership of attorney general merrick garland is being used and weaponized against people who have different views than the administration and the attorney general. mark is a peaceful pro-life prayer warrior who goes to the sidewalk in front of abortion clinics and attacked because of that belief. >> harris: what do you tell your children about where we are on pro-life issues and people just having the freedom to express what they believe? what do you tell your seven children? >> sure. well, i encourage them to engage the culture and why we go to the pro-life centers as a family.
8:42 am
