this is the faulkner focus. i am in for harris today. so far no splashy events or speeches since the president announced his re-election bid one month ago and one day ago. his rivals on both sides meantime of the aisle already making moves. the president's low profile may be not hitting with voters. a new fox poll shows only 33% see the commander in chief as a strong leader. our own karl rove says it will be tough to change minds. >> this guy is in real trouble and do we think he is going to get better, people will see him as a stronger leader? only if there's an international or national crisis in which he acts in a way that goes against the type we developed in our minds of him over the last two and a half, three years. i don't see it happening. >> the president got more competition this week across the aisle. south carolina senator tim scott and florida governor

desantis announcing their 2024 bids as biden slogs along. desantis hitting the ground running. he is having a campaign event tuesday and his team says he already raked in, get this, a record, 8.2 million bucks in just the first 24 hours of his campaign. that's way over what biden did in 2019 when he announced his campaign in the first 24 hours making $6.3 million. so he's definitely hitting the ground running. peter doocy has more from the white house. >> the biden team hasn't said how much money they raised in the first one month and one day of their campaign. when it is a lot, usually the campaigns brag about that. but as we know and as we are hearing today, money isn't everything. >> jeb bush found that it is not enough to ultimately win over the voters. that's been true. rudy giuliani in 2008, a

lot of candidates who had all the money but just didn't end up with the nomination or the presidency so it's important and i don't want to down play that at all. ron desantis is again taking the lead, but donald trump still has a 30 point advantage at this point. >> president biden's plan to make his re-election bid about the economy will be very complicated by a possible debt default. yet the plan is for him to jet to camp david this evening, back to d.c. memorial day, and off to wilmington. white house officials tell curious reporters there's nothing to it. >> i can only speak for the president, can't speak for the speaker, how he chooses to move forward with congress. what i can say is that the president can deal with this issue anywhere ehe is. i will leave it at that. >> he has very little visibility on the debt issue. according to the schedule, the only on camera events

are honoring men's and women's championships at the white house. >> thank you very much. new fox polling before governor desantis announced his white house bid shows president trump with a big lead over the gop field. desantis a distant second, for republicans, ron desantis offers the best of two worlds. desantis saying in a conference call this week we have shown in florida we are able to win voters who don't always vote republican. teeson writes should be an appealing message to republicans, it means they can take on the left's assault on our culture and values without sacrificing votes of independent swing voters who abandoned the gop in 2020. mark joins me now. fox news contributor, former speech writer, "the washington post" columnist, the most impressive part, mark, you write about this, governor ron desantis's rollout was something we desperately

need in washington. i want you to talk more about this. the need to push back against governance by abusive unaccountable bureaucrats. it is about time we get a president in the white house that does that. >> absolutely. look, one of the lessons of the 2022 midterms was that republicans had to choose between two types of candidates, between forward looking reform minded governors that make lives of their citizens better, are able to appeal to swing voters and populous rab he will rousers who make the hearts of the base swoon but don't win over swing voters. the thing about ron desantis that makes him unique in the field is he is both. he is a populist who is willing to break china, who is taking on disney, taking on the left woke agenda, willing to take on the deep state, all the things that make the conservative base excited. but he is also a reform minded governor who delivers results for his

people. he's passed a raft of conservative reform, the most comprehensive school choice bill in the country. he passed constitutional carry legislation. he has taken on lawsuit reform, taking on the trial lawyers in his state destroying the lives of businesses, taken on esg investing that hurts the florida pensioners, and he is a great example of leadership in a crisis with the storms. so he is both a reform minded governor that appeals to independents but also can energize the base. and we saw that in florida because he won by almost 20 points. he won hispaniocs, women, and independents, in democratic leaning counties. his argument for his case for the nomination is i can do on the national stage what i did in florida and it is a compelling argument. >> talk about crises, natural disasters and individual. as far as i am concerned he led the country how to properly deal with covid. that state isn't suffer

like many states that completely shutdown, businesses went out of business, tourism was down, crime was up. florida didn't do that. i want you to react to the wall street op-ed arguing that senator tim scott's politics of forgiveness could break the country out of what it calls the trump/biden stalemate. forgiveness breaks the deadlock, enables escape from the past and opens the gate to the future. it would be to think tim scott may turn american life into the pieceable kingdom. putting a lot on the man. on the other hand, he might. you can dream. >> i love tim scott. he is an optimistic, hopeful republican. he is tough as nails. he grew up in extremely difficult circumstances, raised by a single mother and grand father who had to quit school in third grade to pick cotton.

one generation his grandfather saw him go from abject poverty and picking cotton to congress. he has an optimistic hopeful mission, and one of the great things about both the scott and desantis rollouts this week, we will probably have mike pence getting into the race, the republican party has an embarrassment of riches. our bench is so deep, talented, so strong, the reality is most americans don't want a trump-biden rematch. majority of democrats don't want him to be the nominee. half the republicans aren't supporting donald trump. you took those two individuals off the stage and put our bench against their bench, republicans will be winning elections for decades with the talent that they have. so the party that figures it out and nominates somebody else is probably going to win the 2024 election. >> biden should be paying close attention from his basement or whatever room he is campaigning from. take a look at the cnn

poll, it was an absolutely brutal cnn poll for the president. a whopping 66% of americans view a biden re-election as either a, quote, disaster or setback for the united states. i don't know if biden pays attention to the polls, but this is a cnn poll. maybe he should be paying attention. >> yeah. cnn, fox, everybody has the same conclusion. joe biden is the least popular president. today is day 859. look at the 538 average, they will track day by day how he compares to every president back to harry truman. he is the least popular president in the history of polling going back to harry truman, except for jimmy carter. that was true before the 2022 midterms. he turned in the best performance of any president in physical midterm except john f. kennedy except for bush after 9/11. that wasn't endorsement of

joe biden, it was rejection of republican alternatives. republicans need to do intro specs and think about what alternative we want to present to joe biden, and are we giving democrats and centrists that don't want to vote biden a safe harbor to vote against him. >> intro spec shun, the democrats, who do they have? michelle obama? >> yeah. >> kamala? no. >> less popular than he is. but also keep in mind joe biden would be 86 when he finished a second term. you look at the social security administration, you have about 40% chance of average american male, 40% chance to reach age 85. good chance if he gets a second term, kamala harris will become president of the united states. >> all right. i don't believe that's going to happen. not saying i am psychic, i'm going to go with no. how about heck no. irs whistle-blower, have to change topics quick. he testifies today.

it will be behind closed doors on capitol hill. fox is being told more whistle-blowers are likely to come forward with complaints of how the agency is handling this five yearlong hunter biden tax fraud probe. shapley worked on it since 2020. says none of it was normal. >> multiple steps were slow walked at the direction of department of justice. >> had you ever encountered that before? >> i have not, deviations from normal process, each and every time seemed to always benefit the subject. >> the irs recently pulled shapley and his entire team off the investigation, but many say the move is retaliation for taking a stand. i would have to say probably is not an impossibility. jim jordan is now looking for answers. he writes to merrick garland, the timing of the department's removal of

the agency and investigative team raises serious concerns given that the investigation was the subject of the agent's protected whistle-blower disclosure. the committee will not tell rate the department's retaliatory conduct against this or any other whistle-blower. now, let's go back to shapley and his history. he joined the hunter biden tax team in 2020. formally blew the whistle, he declined to cite mal i have sense, citing that he is still an employee. look where that got him. the cat's out of the bag. what difference if you spill the beans, all the beans, some of the beans, spill them all. what does he have to lose at this point? >> it is against the law to spill to the media but not a law to share with congress. that's what he is doing behind closed doors. we just got the durham report. if you read that report, it shows that the doj went full throttle against

donald trump and the trump campaign while slow walking hillary clinton's investigation. so we have documented evidence, 300 page report, laying out the political bias in the fbi and the justice department when it came to investigating republicans versus investigating democrats. so do i believe him that was also happening with hunter biden? absolutely. it is clear. he laid out some general allegations in the interview with cbs news. he can't layout the specifics there. but i hope he tells congress who exactly, he says that he was being overruled by people in the justice department, who exactly, which steps did they slow roll, who ordered that slow rolling, who interfered with his investigating this. we need to get to the bottom of individuals in the justice department doing this so they can be rooted out. >> what did his father know? do you think those questions will come up? >> i don't know if he knows that, the answer to that question, but certainly we deserve an

answer to that. >> we deserve an answer to know whether the president was involved considering he is his confidant, talks to him about everything, supposedly with all his illegal dealings, the president knew nothing about it. i don't know. mark, great to see you. thank you so much. >> great to see you. thank you. >> the summer travel season kicking off, could be a record breaker. airline passengers hoping against hope to avoid the absolute nightmares of last year. we are live at newark airport with that. plus, the pro-life student berated by the now fired college professor speaks out. >> we understand that we are in enemy territory. we know a lot of people are not going to agree with us. but we're trying to have conversations. >> after the incident with that student, by the way, the professor later threatened a reporter with a machete. she had her day in court last night. we'll tell you what went down.

>> an update on the infamous professor, shellyne rodriguez that was caught threatening a reporter with a machete. the union meantime representing rodriguez is backtracking on its support. the professional staff congress says the psc does not condone violence or comment on members' ongoing disciplinary proceedings. the union hasn't released

or endorsed any statement regarding any incidents involving professor shellyne rodriguez. so the youu.n. ion posted berating pro-life students at the school that since fired her. that petition called on people to, quote, stand with hunter college adjunct against right wing anti-abortion backlash. so they supported this behavior on the onset. laura laura engineeral live to explain. >> shellyne rodriguez was released from custody without having to post bail after arraigned on menacing and harassment charges. while she is no longer in custody, she's not employed at hunter college. after she left court, she headed to the local burger king with a smile and group of people for a

bite. she turned herself in yesterday to face charges against her. all of this comes after a widely circulated video by "new york post" that shares common ownership, shows her holding a machete to a reporter's throat that knocked on her door for comment and reportedly threatened to chop him up. listen. >> get away from my door. get the [bleep] away from my door. >> let's get out of here. >> the reporter appeared to be trespassing after he didn't use the intercom at her building. rodriguez was also seen on a dashboard camera allegedly chasing the two reporters with the machete on the street after they left. hunter college fired rodriguez after the incident. all this after rodriguez had an encounter with a pro-life student, a group of them, at hunter college last night, shoving pamphlets at the students in a profanity laced ti tirade.

one of them speaking with fox news last hour. >> understand that push back and maybe violence is always a possibility, so that's always something you have to think about. when it happens, really in real time it is always scary. >> the maximum sentence for that is one year, harassment is 15 days. rodriguez due back in court june 26th. we'll see what happens next. >> all right. laura, thank you so much. the unofficial start to summer is expected to be the busiest for travelers in years. aaa estimates 3.4 million people will fly this memorial day weekend. that's up 5% from prepandemic in 2019. travelers likely hoping things are smoother than winter holiday seasons' epic airline melt downs. southwest cancelled more than 15,000 flights back then. transportation secretary pete buttigieg is trying

to get ahead of it. >> this weekend will be a test of the system. all of us have memories from last summer. cancellation and delay rates were unacceptable proportions last year. it is important that that not happen again. >> alexus mcadams live in new jersey. how are things looking now? >> hey, julie, they're not too bad at this terminal at newark international airport here but things are expected to pick up later this afternoon as we're going to see record setting travel numbers. we did talk with some passengers to check out how they're feeling. check it out over my shoulder, not too slammed now. travelers say they prepared anyway. listen. >> i thought it was going to be worse. doesn't look too bad. >> i am headed home, not in a big hurry, i will roll with it. >> got here early, especially traveling with a little one, pack for two. and prices were also crazy

traveling friday to sunday. >> this memorial day weekend, julie, on track to be the busiest at airports since 2005, and all across the country as 3.5 million are expected to fly to their destinations. among the commercial airlines, united predicts this will be the busiest in more than a decade. tsa has been preparing. they added more staff and facial recognition scanners at airports including newark to handle the travel surge. we'll see if it works. the travel season follows that recent disruption, a long list of them. southwest cancelled 15,000 flights over the winter holiday due to what they said was technical failures. department of transportation did initiate new rules to require airlines to compensate passengers and provide free rebooking if they cause major delays or cancellations. the biden administration launched a porteral to submit the claims. travel this year is not

just busier but more expensive. >> more people want to travel, there are fewer seats for them, demand is up, prices up, people are paying more this year than last year for a flight. >> people are willing to dish out that money because they want to get to their destination, get to nice weather for the weekend, julie. those are some of the people we talked to saying they thought it would be worse, didn't think it was too bad here. the faa says even if the flight is not delayed or disrupted, it could be later this summer because they have a shortage of workers working for air traffic control at airports in new york, a n that impacts everybody across the country. julie? >> alexis, thank you very much. so has target been bud lighted? the retail giant taking a major hit losing billions in market value over its kid friendly pride collection. kid friendly, i'll say it again. and the nation less than a week from potential economic chaos. so far no deal for a debt

for camp david this afternoon. he is also going to spend time in his delaware beach house. the white house is defending biden, saying he can work from anywhere. treasury secretary janet yellen says june 1st is the x date for the country. senior congressional correspondent chad program is on capitol hill. june 1st is right around the corner, the president is going to be working from camp david apparently. >> julie, the president may be away, but house speaker kevin mccarthy is at the capitol for another day of talks, the freedom caucus is not pleased what it hears about a possible deal, mccarthy urges caution until they reach an accord. >> you're talking to people who don't know what's in the deal. i am not concerned about anybody making any comments about what they think is in or not in. whenever we come to an agreement, we will first brief the entire conference, so when you go and ask them questions, let them know what's in it. >> workman dates for

people to receive some federal benefits are outstanding. the gop secured increase in defense spending but mccarthy wouldn't comment on money specifics. mccarthy lieutenants believe the speaker can deliver a deal for the gop. >> people trust kevin mccarthy, they've seen the commitments he made to opening the process, listening to all voices have come true. i think that gives him additional flexibility. doesn't mean republicans get every single thing we ask for, but he will deliver major victories in every bucket. >> democrats went fill in gaps for the gop that vote no unless they address their policy priorities. >> it is not just a domestic issue, we look like fools around the world and bring the world economy at risk by this nonsense. i am glad to be amongst adults in the room. act like adults in the room like now. >> even though there are divides. lawmakers that could vote

yes are in the middle, a fat middle. they lose some at the margins, liberal democrats and conservative republicans. >> chad, thank you so much. there's new fox polling on the debt limit showing that a majority of voters say raising it should go hand in hand with spending cuts. power panel. charlie hurt, editor from washington times and radio show host leslie marshall, both fox news contributors. great to see you both. charlie, how is financial services committee chairman patrick mchenry says the pressure is on, agreement will take some time he says. republican and democratic lawmakers are skeptical of an accord. conservatives are balking at word that house speaker kevin mccarthy may be willing to green light a deal which would raise the debt ceiling by several trillion. does that strike you as the right deal? >> well, i think the reason a lot of conservatives are upset about this and a lot of

republicans are concerned about this is the idea that we are going to raise the debt ceiling by trillions of dollars and then in exchange for that get a 1% cut in spending. the problem that we have here is spending and the idea that you have families across america cutting their budgets by far more than 1% either actively because they need to cut spending or because joe biden's inflation is forcing them to cut spending by far more than 1%, the idea that we are going to take out another credit card on the backs of the american people and in exchange cut spending by 1%? it is insane. i think rightly so conservatives are upset about it. but let's not forget, republicans are the only people in washington who have come up with a solution to raise the debt ceiling. democrats aren't even at the table and the white house isn't even at the table in terms of coming up with a proposal. >> leslie, i will have you rebut that in a second.

i want to put up fox news polling on the economy under the president, it is pretty dismal. only 18% feel economic conditions for the nation are positive. 83% negative. and on the personal impact of the economy, 34% say positive, a majority say the opposite. it is never good when you can't pay your bills as a private citizen, but when our own country can't pay its bills, that's scary. of course you have to look at whoever is in the white house to blame or not. who is to blame and what do you make of this, leslie? >> well, i don't think whether as democrat or republican the president is solely to blame any problem we blame them for, but of course the captain of the ship gets the blame. i find it interesting what charlie said about cuts. i never, ever hear gop saying you know what, don't pay us, we'll take a paycut. as a matter of fact, i don't hear fellow democrats do that either. americans i think are sick of this, what we are

seeing in reflection of polls, 500 days from general election, i am not real worried, they buy into the doom and gloom of the headlines. the problem is this is déjà vu. we come to the edge of the cliff, they do a stop gap measure, there's a debt ceiling increase. kevin mccarthy knows he is going to do it. he has done it before. he thinks americans and voters have short term memories. there's audio, video, and signatures out there that prove otherwise. that's what's going to happen this time around. the president doesn't need to be in the room to have a conversation with them, especially in the age of technology where so many of us meet online. >> i guess we have to wait and see. here's another story making headlines. target basically losing more than $9 billion in market value in one week. it is all about the backlash over pushing pride month merchandise for children. this isn't about bathing

suits. they said they were removing some items from stores, making other changes to the lbgtq merch ahead of pride month, but the damage may be done. >> they do it because they're stupid. they don't understand their core business is not offending half the people of america, they keep doing it. they hire 20 some-year-old marketing jean uses that think their job is to pander to people on the extreme fringe. and in doing so, they alienate a lot of customers. companies have lost their collective minds. >> i haven't stepped foot in target with my children since all of the hoopla started, but it would be bad enough to try to explain to my children why women's bathing suits have extra room in the crotch. tie russ last night said he was in a target with his nine-year-old, she saw

it. his explanation, that's where you put your goggles. i thought that was brilliant. anyway. i mean honestly, children and lbgtq, it is a very adult content. now they're pushing it in stores. it makes me afraid to go shopping, charlie. >> yeah. no, it is amazing. i'm no expert on target, i never darkened the doorway, i don't need cheap junk from china, i don't shop there in the first place. that said it is insane these companies in the name of inclusivity try to push this stuff on kids. it is about indoctrination more than about making a bottom line and it is interesting when you look back, used to be companies spent millions and millions of dollars every year studying their customers and figuring out what the customers want and they've thrown all that out the window, they don't care. they would rather lecture their customers, push

creepy agenda items on their customers, it seems like an insane way to do business. >> leslie. >> i saw flip flops. i don't mind flip flops. my kids love rainbow colors. there's a line. you have to draw it. >> listen, i live in california, i have no problem with it. i have two teenagers, you think going into target and looking at rainbows is scary. i'll give you my teens for the week. here's the bottom line. we say children, children, children. lbgtq people have nieces, nephews, grandchildren, children, and some of those children are part of the lbgtq community as well. we have and i'm not likening them all the same, but we have saint paddy's day merchandise, african american history month, female power, i have seen all this stuff. i don't think target is trying to put their political message out there. obviously they pulled the

merchandise, their message is they don't want to go broke. i would agree with charlie to say you have to look at who the consumer is when you're a business owner, whether i agree with the decision to put it out or pull it, but i don't understand the offense to the rainbows. are people as offended to the alcohol aisle or with medication that kids can od on as well? folks, we need to put it in perspective. >> i don't think it is the rainbows, it is the message. an alcohol section we have been used to, i think it is the trans thing, explains to children that may not have a trans uncle or gay sister. i have a gay sister. but i don't have to talk about sex with my children, they're children. that brings up a conversation about sex and i think that's the problem in target stores or in schools frankly talking about this inappropriate topic. anyway, leslie marshall, thank you, and charlie hurt. great to have you both. thank you. so president biden using

his veto pen to kill a gop bill that would repeal washington, d.c.'s police reforms. critics call the new d.c. measures blatantly anti-cop, and say crime will just get worse in the nation's capital. the supreme court deals another blow to biden's green agenda. the white house, not happy.

>> the supreme court dealing another big blow to president biden's green energy agenda. the high court striking down a rule that would allow the epa to police water pollution. last fall the justices decided to limit the epa's options for regulating greenhouse gas emissions. fox business grady trimbel with more. >> conservatives across the country are celebrating the supreme court decision. they say it removes burdensome regulation and reigns in overreach by the biden administration. but democrats like senate majority leader chuck schumer have this to say. this maga supreme court is continuing to erode our country's environmental laws. make no mistake, this ruling will mean more polluted water and more

destruction of wetlands. house speaker kevin mccarthy is firing back today. >> the 9-0 decision, what did leader schumer say? he said it was maga extreme. a 9-0 decision in the supreme court is now maga extreme to the democrats here today. they are out of step with the american public, they're out of step with their own party. >> he sort of is relating it to debt ceiling talks to say democrats are out of touch and our latest fox news polling shows climate change isn't in the top ten of issues for voters right now. it falls well below inflation, crime, border security on their list of concerns. still, the epa keeps trying to put rules in place to curb pollution without congressional approval. the supreme court, though, keeps striking those rules down. last year in a separate ruling, the high court limited the agency's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, and the epa is continuing

to push ahead. it put out new proposed rules that would regulate gas powered vehicles and power plants. if those rules are finalized, julie, they'll also likely face legal challenges. >> all right, thank you very much. shawn duffy, former wisconsin republican congressman and my dear friend joins me now, co-host of the bottom line on fox business. oddly, i have not been invited on that show, shawn. we need to change that soon if you want to continue the friendship. >> we have to remedy that asap. >> so what do you think of the supreme court's big blow to biden's green agenda? >> well, it makes sense. a 9-0 decision, this is not extreme maga, this is joe biden appointed justices saying you've gone too far, joe. congress never anticipated giving absolute authority to the epa. they didn't outsource freedom, democracy in elections and say we have given that to you in the epa. they have strict rules

there, they want to change the american economy. and thank god for the supreme court trying to push back and say no, get back to your traditional role. to address what they call the reange act, it says any rule that will cost the economy more than $100 million, you need congressional approval for it. and this would no doubt fall within that. democrats don't want the rains act, they love that the administrative state can do what they could never do in congress. voters would never allow for you to get rid of gas powered cars or gas powered stoves or gas powered power plants, so they want to outsource it and let the epa do it. so the rains act if passed will remedy the administrative state that's ruining our economy. >> moving on, president biden is using his veto pen to uphold a controversial d.c. bill many say is anti-police. he nicked a measure that

basically would have repealed that effort. that veto came on the third anniversary of george floyd's murder. the d.c. bill bans chokeholds, mandates officer training on deescalation and use of force. now, the resolution to overturn the d.c. bill had the backing of several democrats in the house and senate. republican senator jdvance said he rejected a common sense effort to make the nation's capital safer. millions of americans that visit washington and brave men and women of the d.c. police department deserve far better. it is a shame they won't get it from this administration. they should look at new york city and the mistakes made in our city because when they have that stop and frisk law banned here in new york city, crime went up. if you talk to anybody on the lapd, if they saw somebody they thought was possibly carrying a gun or drugs, they couldn't stop them until after he pulled out the gun. how stupid is that? you're supposed to prevent

crime. isn't that the job of our police force? >> well, you would think, but you're a normal thinking american, julie, that's not what you have in new york and d.c. the way they view it, law enforcement, police officers are the oppress or, the criminals are the oppressed, therefore they have to remedy what's wrong with this injustice. they take power away from law enforcement. i am not opposed to police having more body cameras, or more training to address aggressive criminals. i am not opposed to that. sometimes a choke hold is necessary. sometimes you can't de-escalate because of the nature of criminals today. so instead of standing behind law enforcement and police officers, again, they're standing behind criminals. the problem is we don't have enough men and women wanting to be police officers because they're the bad guys now. this bill does just that. by the way, think of what happened in congress. you put the stat up there. 14 house members voted to

repeal the d.c. bill and 9, 8 senators, democrats. that's remarkable bipartisanship where you get very little bipartisanship on anything, that you have both sides saying you've gone too far, crazy d.c., roll this thing back. that says everything you need to know about joe biden's veto of this common sense house bill over what happens in d.c. >> it is common sense. if you know a cop, a family member serving, they will tell you when you tie a cop's hands behind their backs legislatively, they can't do their job, that's when crime goes up. it is a no brainer. i am not a politician, but good god. look at the crime statistics and do the math, and you're going to continue to hamper the power of our police. that's ridiculous. >> and julie, to that point, listen, what they've been doing, the progressive era, hasn't worked to keep people safe or stop crime, there's more crime. maybe go back to the ways of old where we have

policies and procedures that work to make you learn from mistakes like what happened with george floyd, that horrible situation. learn from that. but also know what works. we have a long history of good cops doing good things. >> there are good cops out there. yeah, there are cops that definitely need more training, give it to them so they become better cops. shawn duffy. >> politicians need more training, too. >> these true. we will see you later. we are out of time. g us all. when everything is going up except your income, it's time to cut your monthly expenses. and the fastest way to do that? pay off your debts and high rate credit cards with a lower payment newday home loan. that can save you hundreds of dollars every month. plus, this newday 100 va loan lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value so you can put even more cash in the bank during these uncertain times.
