note. >> dana: do you know why? because the guy is so fast. >> bill: de la cruz. they are starting four rookies and won nine straight games. >> dana: are you happy now? >> bill: river city is on a roll. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next, here she is. >> harris: fox nulls alert. talk about soft on crime prosecutors. federal prosecutors in the hunter biden five year long tax fraud and gun investigation cut a deal that includes a couple misdemeanors. harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." president biden's son hunter reached an agreement with the federal government after he illegally possessed a weapon and didn't file taxes. it was made public this morning.

part of an agreement that includes hunter biden pleading guilty to misdemeanor tax offenses and reach an agreement with prosecutors on the felony charge of illegally having possession of a firearm as a drug user. the rich and powerful and system of justice for everybody else. >> there are more questions than answers. this plea deal does have all the makings of an avoidance of any jail time. more importantly it was an evasion of the more serious allegations facing hunter biden and the biden family. so it is historic in the sense that the president's son is going to plead guilty to criminal acts. it is going to be very controversial for critics. i think for many, this is going to look like you ticketed the

getaway driver after a bank robbery. >> harris: civil rights attorney and fox news contributor tore leo terrell is with me now. before we get to you, i want to begin with fox news correspondent david spunt who is now at the d.o.j. david. >> harris, this investigation into hunter biden began half a decade ago, five years ago. it is not an exaggeration. right now we have three charges, two misdemeanors, one felony charge against the president's son listed on the court papers as robert hunter biden. the charges filed in u.s. district court in wilmington, delaware. biden has agreed to plead guilty to the tax offense charges and enter into a pre-trial diversion agreement for the firearm charge. according to the court document biden received more than 1 1/2 million in 2017 and 2018. he owed $1 hundred thousand in federal income taxes each year bust did not pay those taxes on

those years. on the gun charge in october of 2018 he had a firearm despite knowing he was addicted to drugs. sources say he lied on a federal form. president biden halls said he is proud of his son and loves his son. the president is in california today in the same state where hunter biden now calls home. though this was filed in the district court of delaware. no comment from the president. a white house spokesman said the following to fox news. the president and first lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life. we'll have no further comment. james comer not happy about this says huntser biden is getting away with a slap on the wrist when growing evidence uncovered by the house over-- they had influence peddling and possible bribery. a new statement from chris clark. biden's attorney saying it is my understanding the five-year investigation into hunter is

resolved. i know hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in miss life and looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward. important to point out david weiss said the investigation is ongoing. so chris clark says he believes it is his understanding the investigation of five years is over. d.o.j. deliberately in the at the same time says the investigation is ongoing. no details there. there are possibilities that the investigation is looking at some of the business deals that's house oversight republicans are looking at. they claim they have been in contact with the department of justice to give some information. it appears the tax and gun portion is resolved. but what the other part is we

don't nov. that's deliberate it's in there. >> harris: thank you very much. reaction from lawmakers pouring in. republican senator marsha blackburn member of the senate judiciary committee said it is no coincidence less than a week that president trump is arraigned bid the d.o.j. hunter biden is pleading guilty to a sweetheart deal for a.g. garland to maintain his mantra there is one justice is pathetic. if they think it dismisses the bribery scheme or years of report evidence biden family corruption they are oaf mistaken. leo terrell, great to see you. you heard david spunt say a couple of times that the agreement includes the words it's not over yet basically. they are still looking at it and more to the investigation. what do you make of it? >> that's to block the house

republicans from getting documents. just imagine if they would have said case is closed. they would have had no excuse, the department of justice, for providing those documents to house republicans. now they say it's ongoing we have an investigation. that provides a roadblock against the republicans from subpoenaing those additional documents and very shameful. this deal is a deal because hunter biden is the son of the president and a democrat. it is a two-tiered just advertise system. >> harris: i said rich and powerful versus everybody else. in this instance the most powerful. >> harris, look at the letter brief written by david weiss. it is so vague. he had income in excess of 1.5 million. what does that mean? excess of 1.5? what jobs was he doing in 2017 and 2018?

he had a tax obligation in ex's of $1 hundred thousand. i know those are vague, ambiguous terms. for this man to walk away without any jail time and a diversion plan on the gun charge, harris, i can tell you right now president trump is treated one way and the rest of the country is treated a totally different way. if you are a dem cruelty you get off free. hunter biden is a perfect example of that. >> harris: what i was saying as rich, powerful, everybody else and you say it is political, too. democrat versus gop. you heard senator marsha blackburn. if you think you make a five year bribery scheme unless the president and the 5 million that went to him and his son go away, no way, that's not going to happen. >> exactly. but what you have expect, what i expect is the house republicans and even senate republicans are

going to experience numerous roadblocks from this department of justice, lack of cooperation from the f.b.i. in is going on for two years. as long as merrick garland and joe biden control the department of justice in this country the house republicans will be stonewalled and have to fight tooth and nail and will not get any cooperation in any of their investigations. the american public will see it play out it is different if you're democrat or republican. we are approaching a major presidential election. expect this to go on throughout the next year. >> harris: i can't miss this other thing, too, now that you brought up dems and gop in terms of justice. look at the timing of this, leo. the president just announced and kicked off his 20-day campaign over the next month finally for the first time in many, many, many days since he announced, he

is finally out on the campaign trail. and low and behold, with the great timing of this, the only question that he can be asked now is what is your reaction to your son getting off on a couple of misdemeanors and talking maybe about a felony? >> this is choreographed by the democratic dnc. he is in california. merrick garland is out of the country and basically you get a letter brief and that's it. with the cooperation, harris, of 95% of the mainstream media they'll downplay this significantly. there is a durham testimony today. they are trying to diffuse and downplay the hunter biden charges as if okay, case closed. this case is not closed by any stretch of the imagination, harris. >> harris: this is coming from the "washington post." biden representatives have said that hunter biden previously paid back the i.r.s. what he owed. so they are treating this almost

like an also ran moment of justice. well, he already paid the money back and he is going to plead guilty to this and guilty to that. we'll cover every second of it but the durham report is next and we'll certainly focus on that. leo terrelle, thanks for getting us started. >> thank you for having me. >> harris: fox news here. a race against time for the people in the tourist submersible. five passenger, one crew. the craft caries 96 hours of emergency capability. the oxygen supply will last until thursday afternoon if the timing is just perfect on that timeline. and if nothing has happened to the sub. the sub missed the launch actually. the launch happened and an hour and a half into that they lost

communication. we don't know how far down it actually reached off the coast of new foundland in labrador, canada in its dive to see the titanic. a coast guard rear admiral saying this. >> we launched a c-130 aircraft to search to conduct and aerial search both visual and radar of the scene and put sonar buoys in the water in an attempt to listen. it is a remote area and it is a challenge to conduct a search in that remote area. but we are deploying all available assets. >> harris: it's very cold down there. icy waters, temperatures estimated low to mid 30s. 900 miles east of cape cod, 400

miles south of newfoundland in canada. those five people on board including a british billionaire, pakistani businessman and his son and report evidently a french navy veteran and ceo of the tour company oceangate, which deployed the vessel. molly line has been all over this story today with lots of new information. she have is in boston where we expect another update from the coast guard today, this afternoon. molly. >> absolutely. at 1:00 this afternoon we expect an update from the coast guard and given us a little bit of an update a few minutes ago reporting visibility in the search area has increased today and that they are moving more assets into that very remote location as you were describing it to help find the people to bring them home safe. among those on board the tourist sub headed toward the titanic a u.k. billionaire and adventurer, award-winning pilot.

the chairman of action aviation. the cove tweeting several pictures from sunday. several photos of the sub and workers as the titan descended writing that the sub had a successful launch and hamish is diving. he have is from an international organization dedicating to advancing field exploration. action aviation he has been to space on jeff bays owe as rocket. another scientist is feared among those feared missing named in a facebook post the day before the mission. overnight a pakistani organization tweeted that their company's vice chairman along with his son quote, embarked on a journey to visit the remnants

of the titanic in the atlantic ocean. there is limited information available beyond this that we know. we request speculation and theories is avoided. ocean gate charges $250,000. it is possible that the titan returned to the surface but underwater sonar. the u.s. coast guard sent trois c-130s. aircraft equipped with underwater sonar capability. research vessels are on scene. the total search area thus far completed as of this morning 10,000 square miles says the coast guard. if the vessel is found in deep water much greater challenges abound.

the u.s. navy could potentially be called to help. we will bring you updates. we expect a big update at 1:00 for the press conference we're waiting for. >> harris: terrific information, molly. thank you very much for keeping us updated. we are all over this developing story. i'll bring you any new information this hour as we get it. in "focus" coming up brent sadler, navy veteran. senior research fellow for naval warfare at the heritage foundation and renowned expert on submersibles. we'll get into it. answers in the long-running criminal probe to hunter biden. critics say the d.o.j. doled out a slap on the wrist. some are saying the secretary of state's trip to china was

dismal. >> you need to have leverage in these talks to achieve something. what they did before this meeting, they made concessions on controls and removing sanctions on human rights violations just to get. >> unbelievable. from the issue of taiwan to military communications, fail after fail after epic fail. joni ernst in "focus" next. conquer financial reports. conquer 2000-word essays. conquer a 6 course menu. rule over what you write with the smooth writing, longest lasting gel ink pen in america. do you g2?

>> we're a military state. china is making it very clear they are at war with america. and the biden administration is making it very clear that he has no clue that's what they are

trying to do. >> harris: 2024 presidential candidate not impressed with blinken's trip to china. she is not alone. they said thanks but no thanks to blink en's big ask. security military to military communications. proofed all op-ed headlines. china demands assurances on taiwan. blinken complies immediately. blinken bends knee to xi in beijing visit. biden policy on china is now outright appeasement. blinken canceled his trip to china. china does nothing. china berates blinken. the u.s. appears weak having

accomplished nothing. the president said blinken did a hell of a job. his press secretary echoed that. >> i think it is a good step forward. we believe it's a good step forward for secretary to have constructive conversation with president xi. >> harris: republican senator joni ernst of iowa, member of the armed services and agricultural committees. there has been a lot of response to blinken's trip. what is yours? >> number one, harris, weak, weak, weak. this is appeasement. we've seen it with this administration time and time again. an ever increasingly aggressive china and what does the united states do about it? absolutely nothing. we have seen a spy balloon traverse the united states with no response, we see a spy base in cuba, 90 miles from our

shore. we see china purchasing ag land around one of our air bases in north dakota. what does the government do? absolutely nothing under this weak american leadership. we're the laughingstock around the world. >> harris: they did do something. they gave stuff away. they wiped away sanctions according to representative mccaul who was here with me yesterday for human rights violations. that sounds like a bad plot in a d-list movie. that is not based on any fact that should ever happen. they are torturing people. >> absolutely, harris. and we have seen this with our reliance upon materials that come from china that are under the control of china especially if we look at this administration's push to electric vehicles. we know that so many of the materials used in that comes from child and slave labor out of china and the areas under chinese control and authority. yet what do we continue to do?

we continue to appease and allow them to move forward with actions like that. things we find morally reprehensible here in the united states. it is okay, china. go ahead. that's president biden's message to the chinese. >> harris: secretary blinken said this when asked about the spy craft that you just mentioned about that whole incident that torpedoed his china trip in the first place. >> we did what we needed to do and said what we needed to say and made clear about it not happening again. so as long as it doesn't, that chapter should be closed. >> harris: we have to get him some satellite television. the president said china is embarrassed and oh my goodness. >> those poor chinese. they got caught doing a dastardly deed. it goes back to weak leadership coming out of the white house and this administration.

china is our number one adversary. this administration needs to wake up to that. we see it here in congress. democrats and republicans come together to say that china is our number one threat. i don't think the big white house down the street has gotten that message yet. we are pulling together as democrats and republicans but joe biden just is not feeling that pressure. they will continue to appease and this is why we need a change in administration. >> harris: i want to quickly hit some of the points you made on a growing list of china's attempts to keep tabs on our nation. we're learning plans for a joint military training facility in cuba less than 100 miles from florida's coast. also the recently-confirmed china spying sites in cuba which date back to 2019. also told those didn't exist and now we know they do. not to mention spy balloons and

secret police stations, giant cranes at ports on both coasts, tiktok and farmland purchases. you and the rest of the ag committee are diving into the last one. >> yes, we are. today i have introduced legislation that is co-sponsor evidence by our chairwoman of the agriculture commity from michigan. a bill to overhaul how we look at foreign investment and purchases of american ag land. it is extremely important we know who is purchasing our farmland because as we all know, food security is national security. we've seen a lot of foreign investment. we have over 37 million acres today here in the united states that have foreign ownership and we also know we have seen the number of acres owned by foreign investors here in the united

states doubled in the last decade. we really have to get control of this situation before we sell out our own farmers here in the united states of america to an adversaries like china. >> harris: i have been interviewing some of the farmers over the last few weeks and there is also a layering concern of this gives china a way in to hurt us through our food chain. >> absolutely. >> harris: it sets up all sorts of things. senator joni ernts from the great state of iowa. we're watching for new reaction over hunter biden's plea deal and tax fraud and gun case. what it means for the president's re-election campaign as critics say this call is the ultimate sweetheart deal. plus the clock is ticking in the search for the missing tourist submersible. they went down to see the titanic. >> our focus right now is on the search and rescue operation. we have lives that are

potentially at risk. >> harris: the five people trapped on board running out of oxygen in less than two days. many challenges facing the rescue crews. we have an expert coming up on submarines. he is in "focus" next. love our. but we don't always love their hair. which is why we made bounce pet hair and lint guard with three times the pet hair fighting ingredients. just one sheet helps remove pet hair from your clothes! looking good starts in the dryer with bounce pet.

house republicans will not rest until the full corruption of the biden crime family is exposed. joe biden must and will be held accountable, end of quote from her. fox news alert now on the search for the missing titanic tourist sub. time is of the essence for the five people now trapped in the depths of the north atlantic. we're told they have fewer than 48 hours and that's an estimate, of oxygen left. the sub lost contact with its support ship less than two hours after it submerged sunday morning. its last known location in the icy waters 400 miles south of newfoundland, canada. the search is focused on a depth of 12,500 feet, 2 1/2 miles below the surface of the ocean. making it the deepest ocean

rescue mission in history. >> it's out there in not quite the middle of the ocean but near it. a remote part of the ocean 900 miles away from the coast of massachusetts. so we're going to do our best to put all our capabilities to bear to try to find and locate and rescue any people that might be at risk here. >> harris: who is on board? a british billionaire explorer, a renowned french diver, a prominent pakistani businessman and his son, and they are facing a number of serious challenges. >> it's getting limited and pretty dire situation. being underneath the water is typically going to be cold and dark. very isolated. confined quarters. it is not a terribly large

vessel. so it is going to be a very uncomfortable experience. >> harris: brett sadler, a navy veteran who has been on many submarines and from the heritage foundation. this is a submersible so it can't take off and come back on its own the way a big submarine can. what are the challenges right now? >> well, a couple of the things that strike me is the fact that once they lost power or they knew they were in trouble deep under sea there was no emergency beacon received on the surface that would have confirmed the location, which leads me to the worst possible situation that somehow it gotten tangled or trapped in the wreckage of the titanic. that's probably the worst case scenario. trying to rescue it is hard in that case. >> harris: that's interesting. they went down to see that. i only know what i've seen from

the movie titanic. these things under water then continue to move around. so whatever was attached to that titanic that sank isn't just sitting there frozen in time. >> no, absolutely not. while the corrosion of the hull is maybe slow, it is actually succumbing to age but there are also undersea currents and that submersible only has a max speed of three knots. currents are near that. it could be pushed from where it was launched. >> harris: we showed the five pictures of the people on board. the ocean gate ceo stock ton rush. i want to talk about him specifically now in terms of what we know about the company and going down there and what he might be better prepared to feel what they are feeling. can you tell me what it would be

like to possibly be 2 1/2 miles under water? it is cold, you are running out of oxygen and if you are panicking at all, are you using more oxygen? >> absolutely. the best thing to do if you are in a situation like this, the closest modern example was the russian submarine that sank in 300 feet of water back in 2000. sailors survived in conditions that were leaky, high humidity. very cold and their oxygen level went down gradually over time and you lose your energy. the best thing to do to prolong the time to survive like that is try to rest, reserve your energy, try not to lose control. have people go to sleep. but you will only buy yourself hours. optimism needs to be high and focus of the mission of finding where the submersible is. >> harris: how cold is it down there? >> it can be 0 degrees celsius

or below that. you feel it through the hull of the submersible. if they have electrical power the temperature inside can go from being hot to unpleasant to cold and very uncomfortable as well. >> harris: that's interesting. you said celsius, freezing, 32 degrees or less in fahrenheit. i want to say this. here is what we know about the titan submersible. it is 22 foot carbon fiber and titanium craft weighing 21,000 pounds and you mentioned top speed of 3.35 miles per hour. can take five people as deep as 13,100 feet. no on board gps system. directions from the surface vessel it launched from. the surface vessel said it

didn't know where it was when it lost communication an hour and 45 minutes into the trip. >> yes. that tells me that very likely they reached the titanic or got to the depth at which the titanic was at. if everything was going according to plan as they descended to the wreck. it is not uncommon for not knowing the exact location from when you have a wire or cable connected to a submersible you know the precise location unless it's at a known location for the ship. they didn't get that message. they may never have reached the titanic wreck site. >> harris: we're reading the way they are communicating had been previously via text message. it is not like a submarine then. it doesn't have the ability to communicate the same way? >> there is quite a lot that is

shared. some things that the nuclear submarine went for war would have mission-specific equipment but the ability to communicate in a slow data transmission rate through the water is sounds like what they were using in that case doing text messages. a handful of baud rate if you go through your modem days where you could send status updates. you are talking a few words, not much. >> harris: now the big deal is to be able to see it from the sky and be able to see it inside a water and our reporter gave a conditions report a few minutes ago that the water is not quite as murky as it had been in the areas they are searching. that's a blessing. 10,000 miles they've looked so far. brent, thank you, great to have you on board. >> i hope they find them soon. >> harris: our prayers indeed. as president biden finally hits the campaign trail, some democrats are not buying what he is selling. why the voters feel a disconnect

with the president. plus reaction pouring in. loads of outrage of hunter biden's deal with prosecutors after five years of investigating him for tax fraud and illegal purchase of a gun while he was on drugs at the time. power panel next. ♪ ♪ the vehicles are all-electric. the feeling is all mercedes. the choice is all yours.

>> d.o.j. tries to put you -- if you are the president's son, he gets a sweetheart deal. >> harris: so much reaction on capitol hill. you see the most powerful man in the house, house speaker kevin mccarthy weighing in. we're waiting for information on when exactly hunter biden will make his first court appearance. critics are calling all of it, as did the house speaker, as did senator marsha blackburn, a sweetheart deal. five years of investigation into hunter biden's taxes and gun purchase while he was known to be using drugs, and this is what he got. he is expected to plead guilty to two counts of misdemeanor failure to pay taxes. he also cut a deal on a separate charge of illegally possessing a firearm and likely avoid jail

time. leo terrell with me earlier this hour. >> this deal is a deal because hunter biden is the son of the president and he is a democrat. it is a two-tier justice system. for this man to walk away without any jail time and diversion plan on the gun charge. trump is treated one way and the rest of the country is treated a different way. we are approaching a 2024 major presidential election. expect this to go on throughout the next year. >> harris: the key part of what leo was saying it is not about your pocketbook in terms of the two tiers, it is how you vote. democrats given sweetheart deals and republicans, conservatives treated quite differently. president biden insisting hunter is innocent. >> president biden: my son has done nothing wrong. i trust him and have faith in him. >> harris: charlie hurt and jose

a deputy press secretary. >> it is almost like you have the sense the department of justice is trying to instill a lack of confidence that people have in the justice system. people are lying in prison today for the felony of lying on federal gun forms. and of course, this is -- this charge is something that democrats claim to support because it is probably the best way to keep guns out of the wrong hands, as they like to say. apparently they don't take this stuff seriously when it comes to one of their own. the damage that it does to our -- people's faith in the system of justice is appalling. >> harris: that effects everyvoter. i want to get a quick response and move forward to something else. jose.

>> look, i think let's begin by saying hunter biden pleaded guilty and took responsibility and d.o.j. took five years to investigate this issue and it is two misdemeanors. plea deals with common in our justice system. i think this is the right thing to do and happy to see hunter biden come forward. why republicans complaining about everything? every time the d.o.j. does something that doesn't go their way they complain. elections don't go their way complain. stop complaining and get things done for the american people, republicans. >> we're not talking about things not going people's way here. we are talking about having absolutely no regard for our system of justice and applying it unfairly. system of justice applied unfacial is not justice. five years to press charges on

something that any normal american would go to jail for. it is a felony. the fact they reduced it to misdemeanors is not in any way a celebration of their handling of it. it goes to show how little regard they have for applying justice equally. >> harris: a gaping hole in all of this and our reporter mentioned it. they are going to continue their investigation. we don't know what that means or where the money came from that hunter has to pay or says he has paid back the taxes on but pleaded guilty to misdemeanors on. we don't know where the cash came from. there were 150 suspicious activity reports on dealings with other countries on relationships with other countries. there is a lot to get to. let's go here. biden's 2024 rivals are weighing in as well. ramaswamy statement reading the plea deal is a joke. a retreat and reveals they are

even more scared than ever of scrutiny for the real crimes. the real target is the audio tapes of the alleged bribes for hunter and joe biden. don't buy the deflection. it is a smoke screen. nikki haley. a lot more the biden family has to answer for. jose. >> look, first and foremost we know the oversight committee is investigating hunter biden and trying to connect him to joe biden. there is 0 evidence. ala alabama -- allegations and here say. they continue to waste taxpayer money. republicans focus on the issues, inflation. what the president has done for american people. 13 million jobs. >> harris: you know what an issue is? all of that that you said but also justice in this country. people have to believe that the right things will be done by the most powerful people especially at 1600 pennsylvania avenue.

the question isn't whether or not there is evidence. are we going to get to see the 1023 unredacted? now that the house oversight has seen it, they know about the recordings, 17 of them. we don't know. we haven't seen it. charlie. >> the 1023 is just one piece of mountains of evidence. what is not in dispute here is the fact that hunter biden and other members of the biden family used their connections to joe biden as vice president and perhaps as president as well, in order to reap millions and millions of dollars in payments from foreign adversaries. that's not in contention. nobody disputes that. hunter biden admits that. if you go through the emails and the text exchanges on his laptop, there is even mountains of more evidence showing how much to the degree to which joe biden was benefiting financially
