weekend. >> bill: good in the northeast. finger crossed. janice dean told me hemmer, ask me and i'll tell you the forecast. i said winds from the north. >> dana: you get personalized forecast from janice dean? >> i think i'm special. >> dana: you are. i'll give you the fox weather app for free. download it today. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: the republican bench for 2024 got deeper. they are shot to replace joe biden. where is nation's commander-in-chief? headed out of town. camp david. the beaches of delaware. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." after months of hinting, florida governor ron desantis officially has announced his presidential bid that happened last night. he calls it the great american comeback. >> our border is a disaster,

crime invests our cities and the federal government makes it harder for families to make ends meet and the president flounders. decline is a choice. success is attainable and freedom is worth fighting for. >> harris: desantis later joined fox news host trey gowdy for his first interview as the presidential candidate. he slapped the administration and gave president biden a nickname. liftless bethel. >> i think the country is going in the wrong direction. if we have another four years of the biden administration i think some of the damage will be irreversible. why me? we've had unprecedented policy success. you have to be able to win and then when you get in office you have to be able to deliver results. and i think we've been able to do both of those as good or better than anybody in the country. >> harris: so far desantis is the biggest name to take on former president trump, who has

a commanding lead over the entire gop field in the latest fox polling. the declared seven g.o.p. candidates are fanning out to early voting states now. 2024 is in full swing and the man who says he wants a second term to finish the job is not coming in hot if you know what i mean. recent headlines start with this. biden's slow start worries democrats. aides insist all is well. biden eases into campaign mode. eases. biden's re-election bid is slow out of the gate. peter doocy at the white house. peter. >> today is actually the one month anniversary of the biden 2024 campaign launch and in that whole first month he has hosted 0 campaign rallies. >> feel strongly by saying the president is certainly not media shy. >> the freshest batch of fox news polls for president biden

show that voters find him to be more honest and trustworthy than donald trump but they find biden with worse judgment than trump. less mentally sound than trump and weaker leader than trump. that's a head-to-head since trump is the frontrunner on the republican side. other hopefuls are taking aim at the incumbent, too. >> we have a president who is a liftless vessel. not energetic and dealing with key challenges facing our country. it doesn't have to be this way. >> the biden campaign argues they've got the edge pointing us to partnerships and fundraising agreements they have that republicans don't yet have with state parties. and because there won't be any debates the biden digital team is focusing all their attention on the other side. exhibit a, tweeting while the desantis twitter announcement stalled, this link works with a button to donate to them. exhibit b, sort digital videos

like this one. >> i would embrace proposals like paul ryan offered. i'm not a candidate. >> james clyburn admitted this week the reason the democrats moved south carolina to the front of the democratic primary calendar is to avoid embarrassment next year. so far this campaign at least in the first month president biden has been avoiding them and every other early state. harris. >> harris: thank you very much. the "wall street journal" editorial board lays out the florida governor's advantages but highlights the challenges. a cultural brawler more than a likable unifier. there is truth to this. he is no back slapper and he would benefit from a little of ronald reagan self-deprecating

h humeor. power panel now. two former members of congress. republican doug collins of gras. democrat patrick murphy of pennsylvania. great to see you both. doug collins, the roll-out last night getting some talk. all that matters at the end of the day to you is what? >> well, he is if now. that's the biggest case from last night. the roll-out for faulty in the front and it showed some interesting times there. probably not what they wanted but at the end of the day it provided fodder for the other candidates. the main thing is now he is in. the question is what will he do with it? will he go after and make a distinction between him and donald trump? donald trump made it clear he was a frontrunner and you have to come get him. he went on the attack last night. the question is what does ron desantis do now? it is interesting to me he is still using the off approach not looking to do a live intro , not

doing some events. interesting to see how they've been modeling this. interesting to see how he contrasts that donald trump and the other candidates. the main thing i took from last night. now he is in and let's see what he has got. >> harris: patrick, it's interesting that both of these men in the last few months for dump and certainly now in the polling for desantis are win sniffing range of beating the incumbent president. it's within the margin of error but it is tight. what gives them that advantage over biden? >> well, i think we got through the worst global pandemic we've ever seen in the 21st century. >> harris: the pandemic was over a year ago. >> we're over it. even governor desantis talked about a comeback. >> harris: he meant inflation and other things brought on during the presidency. >> inflation from 9% to 6%. created 11 million new jobs.

750,000 are manufacturing jobs and he has put points on the board. bipartisan infrastructure bill. creating jobs, inflation going down. a lot more work to do but i would say i would agree with the "wall street journal," harris, you want someone who is a unifyer. they talked about ronald reagan and barack obama self-deprecating. >> harris: that wouldn't be joe biden, ignoring the house speaker's call for 97 days and leaving the country on the precipice of a default. that wouldn't be the man who also talked about race in such a negative way over and over and calls grown men boys in live audiences. that wouldn't be him. let's get to this. "politico" highlighting a particular headwind the desantis campaign is facing. the florida curse. the problem isn't biden or trump. it's the state and the weight of history. no florida politician has ever

been elected president. a half dozen have run in the last 50 years. desantis is running against florida's peptation as a gun shaped anti-paradise of grifters and weirdos that won't die. tough words from that op-ed. patrick, what do you say about that? >> i think it's just -- i don't agree with the premise. i think that florida is a great state. i had my kids in disney world a few months ago and had a wonderful time. i love florida. it is a great state. they have great military folks and very pro-military. as you know, ron desantis is a military veteran. but i would say i think it's -- i don't agree with their premise. i don't think people care what state you are from. they care can you move the country forward and unify our great nation and can you help everyday families make sure we have a strong economy and a strong national defense. >> harris: with you talking i

saw the republican guest nodding. i think we can move on. it will become an echo chamber. you might want to tell the naacp. we'll leave it there. democrats just don't know what to do about 89-year-old senator dianne feinstein. she is back on capitol hill after an extended absence recovering from shingles. the "los angeles times" is reporting her staff is taking extraordinary measures to shield the senator from reporters. get this, they are even trying to hide her wheelchair. "politico" reports one of nancy pelosi's own daughters is feinstein's daily caretaker pushing her around the hill. it's also reported governor gavin newsom of california is looking to put oprah winfrey in her seat if feinstein resigns. california democrat roe khanna, the first member of congress to call for feinstein to resign is

doubling down. >> i have respect for her but it is painfully obvious to everyone watching that she is unable to do the job in almost any other line of work, you couldn't continue to do that. i think it's not fair to 40 million californians and the united states of america. >> this is sad, harris, anywhere else it would borderline on abuse. she didn't know where she was and that she had not been in d.c. i don't get it here. i'm going to take a different tack here. if her family won't do it her staff needs to do it. they love her and been with her and care for her, they need to be the bigger people and say you need to step down here. this is not the way you want to end this career. i respect the fact she is saying she wants to stay. when she can't answer basic questions and when the democrats are using her on the judiciary committee to get things out into the senate it's a problem. not a problem for democrats.

they get this seat. newsom will appoint a liberal to the seat. right now let's let her have dignity. we may have disagreed on policy but she shouldn't end her career this way. the people closest to her making money off of her need to come to that decision. >> harris: are you good with oprah winfrey taking feinstein's seat? >> i'm trying to show grace. 89 years old. big city mayor, served for couple of decades in the u.s. senate. this is her last term. she is not going to be there much longer. and doug and i both served in the house of representatives and served in congress and we see senior members, one of our colleagues was out over a year when we were there together. she is back now. i'm trying to show grace. >> harris: is she capable of doing the job based on what you have seen? >> she is voting. out there not doing a ton of press. >> harris: we can't get to her.

they hide her and her wheelchair. >> bill: grace is one thing but reality is another. >> i agree with patrick. grace is one thing but reality is another. voting is simply doing what she is being told it appears. we both know that as members. i think the staff and wonder if he would agree, the staff needs to step in here. >> harris: interesting premise. they are the closest thing to family, i would imagine, when you spend that much time in people. gentlemen, always a pleasure to have you in "focus" on the power panel. thank you. president biden getting out of town just days before the nation is set to run out of money in a debt crisis. >> he didn't talk to us for 97 days. so don't blame me for reaching out to the democrats for begging the president to meet with me, trying to find it. >> harris: progressive democrats are flexing trying to push house speaker mccarthy to just cave in on a deal already. you don't want to do the spending cuts.

doubt that. texas congressman dan crenshaw in "focus" next. plus some supporters of jordan neely disrupted a rally to support marine veteran daniel penny. he is accused of killing neely in the choke hold on a locked subway where people said they were scared to death. watch. >> the prosecution of daniel penny is an outrage. it's a miscarriage of justice. >> i stand with mr. penny. he does not deserve how he is being treated. >> harris: support for penny and the anti-protestors that were standing behind them. stay close. stay close. all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts,

we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

>> he is a hero. he is somebody that was a good samaritan and jumped to the cause of making this city a safer place. isn't that what we want, to have good people get involved? and make us safer? >> harris: supporters are demanding justice for u.s. marine veteran daniel penny. a well-known far left district attorney in new york city, though, charged penny with manslaughter in the subway choke death of jordan neely earlier this month. witnesses say penny took action from neely was threatening passengers. we showed you the rally live on the "focus" yesterday and then dozens of protestors were starting to show up behind them with their signs, remember that? it got rowdy and ugly. police detained several people. one new york city councilwoman had some strong words for that liberal d.a. alvin bragg for his handling of this case.

>> i pray that mr. penny receives a fair trial in manhattan where we have an overpoliticized d.a., alvin bragg, who puts criminals over law-abiding citizens each and every day. >> harris: alvin bragg already has charged penny, as i mentioned in jordan neely's debt. the grand jury must indict him. raymond arroyo, fox news contributor. thank you for being in "focus." this rally yesterday and the words and the former military who showed up really make a case for what this means to so many people. >> look, harris, mr. penny was trained to defend the innocent. his training as a marine. i think it was probably instinctive when he saw people being threatened an menaced on

that train he sprang to action and mitigated the threat. he didn't intend to kill mr. neely. otherwise he wouldn't have helped the cops perform cpr as his lawyer attested when they were doing it incorrectly. he knew how to do it as a marine. i thought it was wonderful seeing the 60 veterans standing behind the nassau county executive. what a pity that people have to come from other areas to remind alvin bragg that good samaritans are needed and than courageed when you have scads of mentally add lid people and drug people. this should be encouraged and not prosecuted. the guy was protecting his fellow citizens. >> harris: that's why the new york city councilwoman started. we have a heart for people who need help. she said the system let jordan neely down and the system is

currently, unless they correct, letting daniel penny down. very compelling. >> harris, the neely attorney made the point saying no one on the train asked what's wrong and how can i help? harris, it is awfully hard to have a therapy session when you are under attack or feel threatened. i don't understand this argument at all. they have a hard case to make before that grand jury. >> harris: black republicans absolutely tore into the view co-host joy behar. the backlash is growing over her comments about south carolina senator tim scott after he announced his presidential bid for the white house. >> he is one of these guys who, you know, like clarence thomas, black republican who believes in pulling us up by the bootstraps rather than understanding systemic racism that african-american face in this country and other minorities. he doesn't get it. >> harris: i can't tell you how many tweeted black face joy

behar pictures for me. i wasn't sure if it existed. anyway, florida congressman donalds let it rip. >> joy behar doesn't understand she is a buffoon. she never walked a day in scott's or my shoes or any black person in america. sit down, stay in her lane. tell chokes. this is not an air area for her to comment. >> harris: senator scott. when a black conservative who believes in the future of the nation stands up to be counted they lose their minds. that's why i'm the candidate the radical left fears the most. raymond. >> well, you know, as someone who deeply and profoundly understands the black experience in america, perhaps joy behar would remember the united negro college fund slogan, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. that's what i thought when i watched her going on. does her family know what she is saying and has she lost her medication?

basically what she is doing here is depriving actual black men of their identity and she is justifying it using partisan politics. at the end of the comment she said they don't understand racism in america and systemic racism. that's why they are republicans. that's like me saying joy behar can't understand ageism or -- it is ridiculous and justifying bias using a political hammer. that bigotry shouldn't be allowed anywhere. shame on the network for at least apologizing. i know clarence thomas and how dare anybody particularly joy behar to say you don't understand the racism thing. move along. >> harris: where is whoopi goldberg? it just begs so many questions. look, we're in a political

eco system. you were hinting at it and i'll say it. it starts from the top. when the president looks just recently across the room and sees a man of color and calls him a boy. when he does the same thing to a senior advisor of his during his presidency and he says if you don't vote for him you aren't really black. like he has a litmus on what being black means. this is the political eco system we're in. your last word. >> clarence thomas used to say a free thinking black person is the most dangerous person in the united states of america. we're seeing it up close. there is obviously a political threat here. they don't want diversity in any of these. joy behar and others trying to corral african-americans into one mode of thought and political expression. sorry, all of us are free here. >> harris: they don't like the d

in de and i. thank you. that mysterious i.r.s. whistleblower says he was kicked out from the hunter biden tax investigation. now he is finally coming forward. >> when i took control of this particular investigation, i immediately saw it was way outside the norm of what i have experienced in the past. >> harris: he breaks down his claims about the justice department's questionable handling of the five-year long hunter biden criminal investigation and the loss of a legend, tina turner. she died at the age of 83 yesterday. she is known as the queen of rock-n-roll and was one of the world's most successful entertainers. she sold more than 150 million records, won eight grammys and twice inducted into the rock-n-roll hall of fame. tina turner is survived by her husband and two children. get it, girl. yes. simply the best.

when i saw the egregiousness of some of these things it no longer became a choice for me. not something i want to do but i feel like i have to do. >> harris: david spunt at the justice department with all of this. with all the talk about protecting whistleblowers they better do a good legal job protectings this one. >> it is gary shapley and been with the i.r.s. for 14 years and he joined the hunter biden probe in 2020 almost three years ago. it was two years after it began. it began back in 2018 talking almost half a decade for the biden probe. here is gary shapley with cbs news last night. >> was multiple steps that were slow walked at the direction of the department of justice. >> had you ever encountered that before? >> i have not. the deviations from normal process each and every time it seemed to always benefit the subject. >> the department of justice

declined to comment about this interview when i reached out last night. the commissioner of the i.r.s., who is under pressure to answer questions about i.r.s. whistleblowers and this investigation both to republicans and democrats says he hasn't been part of any retaliation part. i want to state i have not intervened and will not intervene in any way that would impact the status of any whistleblower. shapely will appear on capitol hill tomorrow for a transcribed behind the scenes interview. to be clear he actually won't confirm on camera or on the record that he is speaking about the hunter biden investigation. he didn't do it with cbs news and won't do it with anyone. he is still an i.r.s. employee and has the follow certain rules. multiple sources confirm to fox news that's exactly the investigation is talking about. christopher wray is facing a us to deadline to produce a document that republicans on capitol hill say contains an allegation that then vice

president joe biden may have accepted a bribe for a policy change. wray missed the subpoena deadline a few weeks ago. james comer is giving wray until tuesday, may 30th, the turn over this form. it is just an allegation. doesn't mean it is true or not true. we know that christopher wray will be speaking with house oversight chairman comer one day after the deadline on may 31. that's another probe going on with another biden family member, in this case the now president of the united states. >> harris: comer has said he will press the issue. he needs that f.b.i. form that talks all about what was going on behind the scenes and the soft walking and soft pedaling. special treatment hunter biden was getting. >> i forgot to say this. he said that contempt of congress proceedings will be on the table if wray does not meet this deadline may 30th.

facing an important deadline. >> harris: chairman comer means it. he said it on this program and now we may see it happen. good to see you. thank you. president biden is splitting his time mostly between camp david and delaware, some in washington, d.c. we've been told. all for the coming memorial day holiday weekend. house speaker kevin mccarthy and negotiators are staying put. they are working to strike a debt deal with the june 1st default deadline fast approaching. that's next thursday, look at the calendar there. here is the speaker. >> we're spending more than we've ever spent in history since the democrats took the majority and we have the most debt that we've ever -- our debt is larger than the entire economy. we have to get this right. there are two things i will not do. i will not raise taxes and we cannot pass a clean debt ceiling. let's sit down and negotiate. i would ask the president every single week to do that. that's what responsible people do. he ignored it.

>> harris: house democrats say it is the speaker who is playing politics. >> republicans, mccarthy, raised the debt limit three times under trump. now because a democrat is in the presidency, now he has an issue with that. that's politics. >> kevin mccarthy needs our votes. he does not have the -- what is necessary to negotiate and for any -- any question about what anybody would settle for, he has responsibility to concede. >> you are willing to tank it if it's not? >> they're willing to tank it. no, no, no, no, no, no, sorry. >> harris: the latest fox news poll shows americans prefer the idea of spending cuts. a majority nearly 60% say congress should cut spending if they raise the debt ceiling. when you break it down by party, even 42% of the democrats think

spending cuts should be in the mix. republican congressman dan crenshaw of texas, member of the intelligence, energy and commerce committees is in "focus" today. great to see you. i want to start with who is staying back to work. i know i had read you have to be on quick call within 24 hours to come back. why not just stay in d.c. and get this thing done? >> well look, only a handful of people doing the negotiations on the democrats right now. republicans don't need to feel like their backs are against the wall. the democrats do. behind closed doors they're panicking. you played some of that rhetoric. none of it makes any sense. they are talking about us defaulting on the debt. we already passed a bill that increases the debt limit. we already passed it. democrats haven't come back with anything. until they do they will continue to dig themselves into this hole and they have to lie to the public to try and make a counter argument. it is not working very well. you read the polling.

americans are on our side with this. >> harris: absolutely they are because they see what happens when you have more bills than you have money to pay because they are dealing with high inflation right now. they are literally living their own debt crisis. trust me, they get it. i just want to spell this out. this is a little unbelievable. when we hear the speaker say he re really was patient for 97 days, we hit the current debt limit in january and the treasury department is using extraordinary measures just to get to this point. we're out of time. >> we are. it's complicated. you get revenue on a consistent bases. everyone is treating june 1st as a hard deadline when at least some bills can no longer be paid. the markets will react.

it will be a problem. the democrats backed themselves into a corner and left themselves no other options because they've letter that rhetoric become extremes. we'll demands easier to explain and make sense to the american people. 60% of the american people think we need spending controls if you have to raise your own credit limit. maybe they should be things like claw back some of the money unspent for covid-era policies. let's maybe not spend $70 billion hiring a bunch of i.r.s. agents and not forgive a bunch of student loans for doctors and lawyers because it doesn't make sense. these are reasonable things. look, if you are an able-bodied single adults work requirements if you get government welfare checks. everybody agrees with this stuff. we're in a good place. the democrats have offered nothing in return. >> harris: it's really disheartening to see the white house just assume the american public doesn't get what you just said. of course they do.

they would be the people doing the work. and purpose. a life with purpose is what it's all about in terms of raising families, so on and so forth. i want to just ask you about the mood on capitol hill. you mentioned the panic among the democrats. i guess that's what we're watching. >> i think so. i always know what the democrat rhetoric is. that tells me what kind of job we're doing as republicans. what i mean by that is if democrats have to lie about what we're doing, then we're doing a good job because they don't have actual counter arguments. if they don't have to lie and make effective counter arguments that means we didn't do a good job explaining ourselves. i know our policies are good and messaging is zb when the democrats have to lie. they got up yesterday and said we passed the default on america act. it's -- 50% lies, 80% lies.

that's a 100% lie. the bill we passed is the opposite of default. it increases the debt limit. you can argue you don't like the provisions but they don't want to argue that. what we put in there is reasonable and supported by a vast majority of the american people. so they lie. that tells me we've done a good job crafting the message the right way and putting the right policies that make sense to a majority of americans. >> harris: you are on the right track when the other side takes the position of lying about it. congressman. do you think you'll get a deal before next thursday? real quick. >> i'm optimistic. biden has to sign something. he has to sign something. he knows that he would take all the blame for this. they can yell and scream all they want but the truth of the matter is the american people are paying attention and know who is at fault and we already passed a debt ceiling increase and the ones trying to negotiate in good faith. >> harris: the american public knows it. they've watched it.

>> harris: well, now she has lost her job. it's an art professor situation where she held a machete to a reporter's neck. have that on tape. and today she has turned herself in to police. charged with menacing and harassment. two "new york post" reporters knocked on rodriguez's door asking about that story we've been covering where she yelled profanities and knocked over a display for a group of anti-abortion, pro-life students. the post and fox share common ownership. the video shows what happens next. >> let's get out of here. you can't do that. >> harris: so that's how it

started. knock on the door, i come at you with a machete that i just happen to have in my house. there we go. the hunter college office of communications fired that professor saying hunter college strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of rodriguez and has taken immediate action. rodriguez has been relieved of her duties at hunter college effective immediately and will not be returning to teach at the school. rodriguez fired back accusing the school of capitulateing to racist white nationalists and misogynists. she is the one threatening people with a machete. we're also learning that rodriguez has a long history of clashing with police. there it is. even reportedly coordinating expletive the police. i had to say that because it's nasty what she said. protests in the bronx. she sued the nypd for quote,

unquote, assaulting protestors during a blm protest. the list is long. in "focus" fox nation host and fox news contributor tammy bruce. none of this surprises you. >> it doesn't. it provides a really good insight with that list of things that she complained about. racism, sexism, misogyny, mental health issues. they were all put into place to provide an excuse for her behavior and as a convenient way to be able to get away with the hating and the manner she behaves. clearly you don't do that unless it is in your nature. she had a machete there. i don't know what she was doing with it. she chose to react that way. she then left the apartment and approached them again apparently. we have to realize what is going on in society. kids have a person like that as their mentor. she is a professor, an individual who -- >> harris: she winked at the

camera as she goes into the jail. >> it explains why someone leaves a college and vice president of marketing at a major american company and everything goes wrong. that's the money tore. it's not a reflection of the world or hard working women. the left has taken control of the academic dynamic. i can't imagine the college didn't know what they had with her. >> harris: when i first read about the machete chapter two after she got physical with the pro-life students knocking over the display saying she was triggered and words matter. then she used her hands and a machete. democrats openly mocking a hearing looking into the biden administration's push to ban gas stoves in new construction. a democrat making fun of when his republican colleagues here. >> it's warm and you are in the kitchen. you stare into the knobs of your beautiful stainless steel

beauty, i got it. i get the barf add owe. we as democrats have clearly lost our way that we are not focused on appliances. my friends across the aisle are telling those parents you can breathe a sigh of relief. that the grand appliance party is going to make sure your gas stove goes nowhere. >> harris: a recent poll shows 2/3 of americans are against banning gas stoves. the left got this party started and we know because president biden had to step in and say i'm not against gas stoves. i'm just -- it's the green blah blah blah. he wouldn't do that, his party started this. >> they say the federal government can't do anything. just like with covid. they can't do mandates but then they signal to democrat cities and states here is your template. here is what you need to do. california is doing it, new york is doing it. so you see this happening at a local level. the national conversation is

important. what that comment and the other democrat comments reveal still the disconnect from the arch american person. we aren't sitting there looking at the stove like we want to marry it next week. we know we've got to cook food for the kids and how we cook the food. over the pandemic a lot of people enjoy cooking. it's part of family experience at the kitchen table. and it is about the government reaching in to every single aspect of our lives. that's the thing we don't like. >> harris: when you say manage that food, what i know that you are talking about is it's a lot more expensive to put in and pay for an electric stove right now because the price of electricity is going up precipitously. why? because we put more on those grids which is why you see rolling grid black-outs this summer. they are already predicting it. >> not only will you not be able to drive in your car or not have lights but you'll be able to

cook. now you won't be able to do that. when you have rolling black-outs because no electricity and grids are overburdened without everybody having electric appliances. you worry about your refrigerator because it is plugged in. >> harris: all the expensive food that will spoil. >> enough already. the democrats have to understand what the problem is here but they never do. >> harris: thank you, tammy bruce.
