coast of newfoundland, 370 miles off the coast one of the mini subs carrying tourists to see the titanic in the atlantic, the labrador sea. we cannot confirm there were people on board. we can just say they can't find the sub right now. that's the story for the moment. >> dana: harris faulkner will have more. "the faulkner focus" is up next. >> harris: we begin with the fox news alert. america's secretary of state in china, two things to note, secretary antony blinken's trip was moved up by eight months. and no doubt for a host of reasons. it is, in fact, urgent that the u.s. and china talk. not the least of which is the fact that china's president and his military are not returning white house and pentagon phone calls. blinken sat down with xi for a half hour this morning not previously scheduled but it

happened. china is still the enemy. what now? i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." secretary blinken says his talk with china's foreign minister and other officials was constructive. earlier after his meeting with the president of the communist nation, blinken said this. >> united states is committed to doing that. in the interest of china and unities and the world. we covered a broad range of subjects. i appreciate this opportunity to discuss this with you. >> harris: i pay way more attention to they do than what china says. the white house said it didn't exist and cleared up last week there is in fact a communist chinese spy base in cuba watching the united states. there are remaining tensions over the chinese spy craft that flew across the continental u.s. sending intelligence back to

china realtime. china's ramped up aggression toward taiwan. so was it good to meet now? mixed reaction from republicans. >> despite our differences and despite the ratcheting up of rhetoric, i think diplomacy is important. i'm glad he is making the trip. >> secretary blinken's visit may portray a bit of weakness. >> whatever he is doing today is a day late and a dollar short. >> the risk of this renewed engagement stage gee is we will abandon defensive actions to have fruitless talks with the ccp. >> harris: fox business's stuart varney pointing out the economic implications. >> we have an enormous stake in american business in china. china has an enormous stake in doing business with the united states. we have got to get together. but i'm hearing an awful lot of people say look, china is bullying us. china is spying on us, china is

militarily bullying us. >> harris: republican congressman michael mccaul of the great state of texas, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee member of the homeland security committee live with me on the mezz here in new york city. you saw the mixed reaction from republicans on whether or not we should sit down with china. what is your take? >> diplomacy is important. if you sit down, sit down from strength not from weakness. you need to have leverage in these talks to achieve something. what they did before this meeting, they made concessions on export controls and removing sanctions on human rights violations just to get -- for china. >> harris: and they're torturing uighurs. >> just to get in the room to talk to them. >> harris: it's not leverage. what would have been? >> it would have been to condemn the spy balloon very strongly.

after the spy balloon took all the pictures of our nuclear and b452 sites. we condemned it in the house. this administration needs to be stronger with them. also the surveillance program in cuba is very disturbing. if they can pick up signal intelligence from d.c. not to mention the aggression against taiwan. i was in taiwan two months ago. they surrounded the island with battleships. 70 fighter jets in the air and censured me on my way out. they are getting extremely aggressive. we need to sit down and talk to them but do it out of strength like reagan talked about, not out of weakness. have leverage going into the talks. >> harris: can i ask you about how it works? they stopped taking our calls from the highest levels of our government and finally our secretary of state is on the ground inside china and after he meets with other people and they report back, i would imagine it

must have been pretty neutral, if not positive. then president xi says he will sit down. is that how it normally works? >> he was not treated very well with respect as the top diplomat from the united states. the red carpet was not rolled out for him. the last-minute meeting with chairman xi. i'm glad he had an opportunity to talk to him but chairman xi says to the people's congress. it is very stark. he made it very clear at this meeting that reunification of taiwan is not going to go away. he will not budge on that. >> harris: you mentioned the spy craft, and i think many americans certainly from covering and interview people are shocked we didn't make more of it. here is the president from over the weekend. our president of the united states talking about that chinese spy craft that was in our airspace for more than a week before the white house told anybody. watch. >> china has some legitimate

difficulties unrelated to the united states. and i think one of the things that balloon caused was not so much that it got shot down but i don't think the leadership knew where it was and knew what was in it and knew what was going on. i think it was more embarrassing than it was intentional. >> harris: china is not taking our call. i don't know how he would think that. new reports that president biden wanted to talk with china's president xi after the u.s. shot the device down the top national security advisors talked him out of making the call. so he used the words china and legitimate in the same sentence and i think we both sort of had a reaction there. what was yours? >> it didn't make a lot of sense to me. sallies it is embarrassing like they didn't know what they were doing. it was the administration that

didn't know what they were doing. a spy balloon crossing this country, seeing it in the sky in a clear act of espionage doesn't get more visible than that to the american people. they may not see things that happen on the internet and all that kind of stuff. it did go over two major nuclear sites and our b-52 manufacturing sites. they sent it back to the mother ship in beijing. should have been shot down earlier. i this i the way the administration handled it was very embarrassing. >> harris: what do we know about the build-up of china's military? we find out from reuters and others will cover it, too, they're in dire straits economically. their property values. they sucked a lot of money out of their economy to big up the military. >> they are overleveraged and one weakness they have of vulnerability we should be hitting in terms of economic ties and export controls and licenses going over there.

so i think that is an issue. they are building up their military and i saw the live fire exercise drills when i was in taiwan as they threatened us on the island just for being there. their nuclear capability is growing. we have no treaty with china. i think they are putting a lot into their military and very clear about their intentions about taiwan and the south pacific sea. we need deterrence there and we don't have deterrence to stop that aggression. talk is one thing but action is another. >> harris: we agree on that. that part that you talked about leverage. i will be watching that money situation on the ground in china. maybe that's what you are talking about, another place to poke them to get them to sit down. all right, let's do one more and i'm so glad you are here. let's talk about ukraine now. there are reportedly on the ground among ukrainians hope as the spring counter offensive enters its third week against russia. kiev, the capital city

reclaiming another village from the russians, so they say. lloyd austin says the fighting is fierce there and ukraine's forces are suffering major losses of both troops and western tanks and other armored vehicles. the united states has given ukraine, as you know, look at the price tag, tens of billion else of dollars in military aid since russia invaded nearly 16 months ago. it was exactly 481 days. the biden administration announced another $205 million in humanitarian aid for people there. up to 2.1 billion since february of 2022. i want to ask you about our role there and when our dollars, our treasure and our men and women will no longer be involved in ukraine. what is the endgame here? >> the endgame is not to have our men and women in ukraine. we haven't had one soldier in ukraine. this counter offensive is

extremely -- >> dana: we don't have people training? >> we aren't in ukraine fighting. not one american soldier fighting in ukraine. this counter offensive is critical. a game changer one way or the other. if they're successful the american people will be supportive. if it is not. what i worry, this administration they had 16 months to give them what they needed to win. they only give them enough to survive but not for victory. they keep holding back things like the longer-range artillery, the f-16s they wouldn't train the pilots. they are timid and weak. if you go in and do something like this go to win and don't go with one hand tied behind your back. >> harris: do you think the american people will tire of this? what happens if ukraine isn't successful? >> putin's strategy is to drag it out so the american people

lose the will. and the european community as well. so giving them everything they needed going into the counter offensive, including includeser munitions should have been done. i a appealed to the administration to do this for 16 months. they start out a dribble really slow pace. it is sad because they are fighting their hearts out against putin and the russians and they have a chance for victory but if we don't give them everything they need they can't win. >> harris: it is always great to have you in "focus" especially in person. thank you representative mccaul. good to see you. in a tense search underway in the north atlantic after a small submersible used to take tourists to see the wreckage of the titanic has gone missing. it happened a short time ago this morning in the icy waters

off newfoundland in labrador, canada. what's the latest on this? >> it is all developing. in the past few minutes we got new information in and we reached out to the coast guard in boston trying to get a team together to get out in the water and help with the search. at this time it is not clear how many people are on board this tourist vessel taken out there to see the wreckage of the titanic. right now the coast guard confirms that ongoing search and rescue mission for the tourist submarine off the coast of newfoundland. that video was taken by ocean gate last year. they lead tours of small subme submersibles to take people to look at the titanic. these people pay big money to do this. we haven't been able to reach ocean gate to concern. it is their vessel missing or if they are involved. there is lots of information about their trips posted to

their twitter page including one if we want to pull up a tweet on june 1st where the company posted saying despite being in the middle of the north atlantic, we have the internet connection to make the titanic dive operations thank to star link. it does all the services for the submersibles. it is owned by a privately owned company headquartered in everett, washington. this is their third trip so far this year. once again these people are spending $250,000 to go on this several day long trip. we are keeping up to date with the latest developments and keep you posted as soon as we get more. >> harris: i will start following them across social media now not just on twitter. i want to be able to see the inside of one of these submersibles to see what the conditions could be on the inside and how long if they are

lost they can stay down there. you say the trip is normally 2 to 3 days, just several days. those questions are really important especially if family members and friends what to do how will they fare down there and going on inside something like that? >> they look like small submersibles but experts go down with the teams, people who a sup super experienced. this is the third trip they took in the past several months. they seem to be experienced. you never know what will happen when you go on the tours. we'll keep you post evidence when we get more. >> harris: i appreciate you jumping on the story for the "focus." president biden is on his way to california where he will reportedly raise campaign money with governor gavin newsom. 12024 candidate is pushing

newsom to challenge biden. i'm sure he will take biden to a mi mitch -- michelon restaurant. >> he has a lot of time ahead of him and runway and doing it right. >> harris: you don't have a choice. that's what he is doing. polls say otherwise, though. power panel next. ♪ working with newday, my va home loan benefit allowed me to keep my money in my pocket. in my pocket. and my service was my down payment. i talked with newday on a thursday, put a contract on this house on saturday. 30 days later, we were moving in. i would tell other vets out there who are dreaming of getting into a home to stop dreaming. pick up the phone. call newday. you served your country. allow newday to serve you.

>> harris: so he is finally on the campaign trail going to california, the president, to raise campaign cash and held his

first official campaign event on saturday. f critics calling the president out from hiding the spotlight and defendants are quick to defends him. >> he has a time ahead of him. a lot of runway. laying a good solid base of strong endorsements from the environmental community and labor community at the big rally is just the way to go. i don't know that people are interested in whole lot of campaign noise. >> harris: if you campaign, it's noise. even if you are the president. a "new york post" op-ed argues it is all just a way to push vice president kamala harris. the title of a vote for joe biden is a vote for president kamala harris. douglas collins former republican congressman from georgia.

patrick murphy democrat congressman from pennsylvania and former under secretary of the army. thank you for your service. good to see you both. doug, tee it up for us. what's going on? >> democrats don't know what to do. this is not coming from republicans. american public has turned against biden in poll after poll. you see close to a sitting president. democrats don't want to discuss the fact no one is out there. harris, when you say biden may or may not run. that means harris would be there and they're scared to death. they're stuck with a ticket they aren't too happy about. >> harris: it is interesting to think of kamala harris jumping up into that position if not for the fact she has such low approval rating. almost 10% lower than the president. they are just not the boxes checked for great job done, kamala. >> i would say with the vice president and the president, the fact is that 2024 is next year

and there is plenty of time to get after it. the american people are tired of politics. they want people to govern. they know and i get it. the republican side you guys are auditioning your nominee in 2023. if i can really quick the vice president and the president were in philadelphia this past weekend. we had a tragic, fatal explosion that devastated i-95, shut off one of the main freeways in america. do you know when we were there saturday the announced it will be reopened within three weeks. within three weeks after it was completely crushed. >> harris: i hear what you are saying. i don't like to go one for the other. disasters deserve their own lane, attention and movement by the white house. the president has still yet to go to east palestinians, ohio. that is something that continues to unfold in that train derailment with all the chemicals on board. god bless the people where the president happened to be and needed more than a photo op. but can he go someplace else and

make those lifesaving changes? >> i'm glad to see they get it done but they learned from georgia. getting rid -- this is how government should work. getting rid of the regulations and get it done. the bigger picture. i agree with patrick. is the president and vice president having to campaign that much? no, they are dismissing their primary opponents. i think robert kennedy junior interesting to see how it plays out. at the same point in time their problem is that you look at their poll numbers. they are tanking. they are having to struggle. they are having to rebuild the trust. if 2024 came tomorrow they are in trouble. >> american people don't care about poll numbers bust the numbers on the stock market. if stock up is 11%, 12 million new jobs. >> harris: congressman murphy. you know what they really care

about? the ones when they stand in the line in the grocery store. they care about those numbers that have been delivered like an extra tax by this current president through still stubbornly high inflation. california governor gavin newsom will join president biden at one of the events. newsom is seen as a potential challenger to biden. governor ron desantis says he ought to jump in. >> stop pussy footing around. are you going to -- [applause] are you going to throw your hat in the ring and challenge joe? are you going to get in and do it or are you going to sit on the sidelines and chirp? why don't you throw your hat in the ring and we'll go ahead and talk about what is happening. >> harris: and you say what? >> i think that governor newsom has declared he is a supporter of president joe biden and that's a good thing.

i don't think he should get involved in a primary when the president has the country moving in the right direction. >> do you think he could beat him in a primary? >> newsom has a closet full of presidential outfits. he has got to stand next to the president and say joe, i hope you are okay. i'm ready if you are. but look, the democrats would be more concerned if you had a joe manchin that would go to the heart of this. that's the discussion i hear. more republicans and democrats, newsom, get in or get out. >> harris: i had robert f. kennedy junior on the set a couple of weeks ago and in his inaugural visit on fox he said wow, he won't debate me and this president needs the rest whether it ends up being me beating him in the primary or him winning to take on republicans. you took a shot and said republicans are auditioning their guys. they have a lot of people who could debate the current

president. >> when president trump was the president of the united states, he had a republican former congressman who wanted to debate him and he wouldn't debate him, either. he will be the democratic nominee. labor endorsed his campaign in philadelphia. they get energized. numbers are going up. the country is finally moving in the right direction. >> harris: one more for bobby kennedy junior. it wasn't long after he announced he was actually on the campaign. what happened to president biden? did he think he didn't have to do it? >> he didn't think it would happen. if you look at social media, a huge outpouring on podcasts and stuff calling for debates in which kennedy is right in the middle of it. it will be one at the end of the day, debates actually help candidates. i don't care which party you are in >> harris: they help voters. >> he is right. politics -- they would never let

joe biden debate anybody right now. >> we agree. this is good for america. >> harris: i don't think that's a hard one. the goal is for him to win. >> they don't want him anywhere close to a stage. >> harris: thank you, both. the president no stranger to gaffes. he ended a gun control speech friday with a real head scratcher. >> president biden: all right, god save the queen, man. ♪ >> harris: oh my goodness. then he couldn't figure out whether or not to walk or run. even his aides are finding it difficult to explain him. plus a massive new study on charter schools finding their students are out performing their public school counterparts

highly concerning. gerri willis with more. >> this one takes the cake. house judiciary chairman jim jordan demanding answers about a bizarre house call by an i.r.s. agent who allegedly used an assumed name to gain access to an ohio taxpayers's home. lied about his intentions and then threatened the taxpayer that he would freeze his assets and put a lien on his house. jordan saying this to the i.r.s. chief. the behavior from an i.r.s. agent to an american taxpayer providing an alias, using deception to secure entry into the taxpayer's home and then filing an inspector general complaint against a police officer examining the matter is highly concerning. to be sure. it was the first time the taxpayer had heard about any late payment. no prior notification. the incident causing concern among more than just

politicians. listen. >> it's not supposed to be happening in the united states of america. this is something you associate with a totalitarian government, very frightening. >> when the taxpayer's attorney reached out to the agent's boss they said there was no money owed and the case was closed. i.r.s. is not responding to request for reaction to the news, of course, it is a holiday. the second time in recent months that i.r.s. agents showed up as a taxpayer's house unannounced. matt taibbi got visited by an agent when he was testifying about the twitter files. harris, this is especially concerning for taxpayers, there is a new infusion of taxpayer money to use for increased enforcement efforts. this is disturbing. >> harris: i wonder how many people will get door knocks then. thank you. one of the largest-ever studies

on charter schools is giving them a great report card and blowing away their public school competition. they show the equivalent of 16 extra days of learning in reading and six extra days in math. parents want to know more and say their kids' education is their focus. >> as the midwest minivan driving mom i don't co-parent with the government. i know what's best for my kid. i think we can have all the kids at the same time. a great public school system. a great private school system and also have a great charter school system. what it's really about is about educational outcomes for our next generation of learners. >> harris: a recent op-ed on charter school success says in a better world, results like this would trigger a movement to expand charters and increase their funding but that won't happen as widely as it should because unions will fight to keep up their near monopoly. the real reason the unions

object to more is that charter learning proves there is no excuse for failing children. corey deangelis, senior fellow at american federation for children and prominent voice in the school choice movement. corey, what is your first reaction to learning that charter beats regular public? >> it's not surprising because charter schools have to compete in the free market. they have to attract their customers by doing a good job for families and students whereas the government-run schools have a near monopoly where you live in a certain place, you have to go to a particular government-run school that staffed by the teachers unions. they don't have an incentive to do a good job. charter schools shut down. under performing public schools get more money even for failure. >> harris: how choice makes a difference and in your fight for choice. you are an advocate. how does this help you? >> we should fund students as

opposed to systems. the money is meant for educating the children. the families should be able to take it to a charter, private school or home based education option. we should have the money following the child. theme only looks at standardized test scores. whether the curriculum aligns with values, safety and so on. charter schools can benefit students not just based on test scores but the other metrics of satisfaction as well. >> harris: that's a lot of pressure on the unions. do you think they'll change and try to be more encompassing when it comes to offering kids things? >> they've been so drunk on power for so long they don't know what to do with the school choice revolution. they will go against anti-parent rhetoric and calling for more funding and continue their political contributions. the parents will win this war ultimately. >> harris: recent test scores appear to show a major decline in students' understanding of

who other school subjects. according to the results, 13% of eighth graders are proficient in american history and only 22% scored proficient in civics. they are looking at public schools in general. this idea of choice puts a lot of pressure on the unions. >> yeah. in fact we found that in places that have more private and carter school competition the public schools up their game as well. they do a better job. it lifts all boats. >> harris: what you are saying in the ends, particularly if there is a left government in place, they will get the money flow so they can just fight it off and hang on to what's theirs is what i hear you saying. >> the democratic party is owned by the teachers unions. randi weingarten's union over 99.9% of their campaign contributions went to democrats. that's the power dynamic.

parents are rising up and showing at the ballot box, too. politicians have to listen to parents and students. they have more power in numbers. parents care about their kids more than anybody else. >> harris: i loved that quote from the congresswoman ashley henson saying i do not co-parent with the government. this summer parents are wondering what they can do to help their children after losing months of class due to covid closures. we know that's not the union's focus righnow. common tips for summer learning in the past included making sure kids played outside, read books, write journal and doing fun activities involving math. now it's more important to make sure that students are not spending all summer sitting by themselves in a room but are still accustomed to being around other kids. corey, what is your reaction? >> yeah. have fun during the summer but also make sure you continue your academics, summer reading and parents should be paying

attention in state legislatures for school choice bills floating around in states like texas. governor abbott calling a special session for school choice that could lead to more freedom next year. >> harris: you gave parents homework over the summer. i love that. what we did in our house, we put our young kids together right after the pandemic with their friends at our house or their house and they would study together during the summer. that works, too. they feed off its other. i learned so much reading your twitter. you have a lot going on for kids. appreciate you. thank you. our armed forces are struggling to meet recruitment goals and many republicans blame woke policies. but the military's top civilian leader says there is too much woke. we'll explain. plus the mayor of san francisco firing back at the media for covering increased crime and homelessness. critics say the crisis speaks for itself.

>> harris: we have breaking news now on that intense search underway in the north atlantic. we want to update you on that small submersible used to take tourists to the view of the wreck of the titanic.

you know from earlier this hour in our reporting that vehicle has gone missing. it happened today just this morning in the icy waters. ocean gate expedition confirmed in a statement moments ago to the bbc it owned the missing submersible and people were on board. we might have guessed that part because a tour was going on. here is a quote. we're exploring and mobileizing all options to bring the crew back safely. our entire focus is on the crew members and the sub and their families. end quote. they are normally down there for a few days. alexis mcadams was the first to report on us in "focus." we're wishing the best for the people on board there. now that we get to see one really up close, so many questions about what they have on board, how long they can stay down there, how quick a search they can really put on right now. are there any head winds to that search? what are the challenges that far

underwater? we'll cover all of this on fox news today. keep it tuned here. our armed forces are facing a major recruitment problem. you know that. republicans say our military's progressive push is to blame. >> they are hurting the military and not helping. >> we have to stop the woke ideology we see at the pentagon. >> you have to make sure the military is about that mission of keeping america safe, secure and free. >> harris: however, the army's top civilian leader says the criticism itself is the problem. the quote. we are a ready army, not a woke army. that drip of criticism about a woke army i do think is having some counterproductive effects on recruiting, end quote. a reminder that for fiscal year 2022 army recruitment fell by 15,000 short of what they need. the branch achieveed just 75% of

its goal. the navy, air force and coast guard have given incentives to reach their goals offering major financial bonuses as well as using physical fitness and age requirements for the marines they lowered their target recruitment number to meet it. you were taking notes and circling things. >> when she says they are a ready and not a woke army. we know that's not true. they you tune outside distractions. your job in the military is not to cater to feelings or opinion. the military's job is to break stuff and kill people. we have extensive military service in our background and it's a straw man argument with the inclusion initiatives. there is nothing more inclusive in society than the military.

anyone you know who has served will tell you they served alongside every walk of life in society. from every ethnic background and region and corner of the country. the military is not spoofsed to adhere to a corporate standard of behavior. it is war. they're there to kill people. we can't have army tanks with hate has no home bumper stickers. that's why they aren't meeting their recruit initiatives. >> harris: i find it fascinating the high person taking a look at this would rather blame the critics than what's going on. people will tell you, if you ask people why don't you want to be in the military now? they'll give you a host of reasons. the focus isn't on winning the wars. >> you join the military to protect our freedoms. not be lectured about some corporate initiative. that's the problem.

we are fighting the wrong battles. the enemy is the other side of the country not preferred pronouns. i don't want to deny people the right to exist. the army isn't there to make you feel good but other people feel bad. >> harris: another bizarre moment from president biden. here is how he wrapped up a speech on gun control on friday. >> president biden: all right, god save the queen, man. [cheers and applause] ♪ >> harris: he never knows which way to walk. axios reporting the head scratching extends to the white house. biden has been using unique phrases for years but even some of his aides are not exactly sure what he means by them. a writer for the atlantic tweeted a possible explanation. god save the queen is what he said right after certifying trumps election in 2017. he uses it to mean god help us

all. he doesn't know what country he is in at the time? was i in ireland last week? >> we know why he hasn't held any re-election events. he thinks we are living in a monarchy. i can't run again, we have a queen. this is sad. the more telling part is not just the turn of phrase but as you alluded he walked the wrong way again. joe biden is the only president in history who takes more time to exit a speech than give one, okay? like the gps isn't working. nobody should be okay a with this. >> harris: do i go backwards or do i go forwards? that's a real geographic problem. >> the time he appeared to shake hands with an invisible person. he was pointing, not shaking hands. nobody is there, that's the issue. if there was nobody there that would be the concern. anybody who is okay with this?

i don't know a lot of people are. they don't think he is cognitively fit. newsom is everywhere, whitmer is -- he is doing a lot of running-looking stuff. i start wearing rhinestone jumpsuits people will speculate if i am an elvis impersonator. >> harris: good to have you back. you have been on the road i haven't seen you. >> you are the wind beneath my wings. we want to take a moment to commemorate an important anniversary june 19th, 1865. actually officially today. the state of new jersey commemorated it on friday. some states may find they want to be on different days. but the proclamation was issued when enslaved people in texas officially found out they were freed. today we celebrate it as j

june juneteenth. >> of healing and coming together, all the things that divide us will not help us. so i would say on juneteenth lets remember the things that bring us together as brothers and sisters. >> harris: nobody says it better than her. jubilee.
