new york this time of year when the u.n. general assembly came to town. >> dana: we thank you all for helping us deal with the breaking news as the americans are now in qatar making their way back to the united states. lots more to come. >> bill: tomorrow around this time we should hear the president's address to the u.n. and you can bank on the fact that ukraine will be a major topic. >> dana: "the faulkner focus" is up next. here she is. >> harris: continue our coverage now. it is happening. five americans are on their way back to u.s. soil. they are free. they landed a short time ago in qatar. they've been in prison for years inside iran, our mortal enemy, state sponsor of terror. we want anyone taken to free our american citizens, this one is becoming more complicated by the hour. questions surrounding just what president biden gave to the

enemy. meanwhile, we welcome them back as they move closer to home after touching down in doha, qatar. they will be coming to the d.c. area, the washington, d.c., which is what we've just been told. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." here is what we know. the biden administration and that oppressive iran, agreed to a prisoner swap, five for five. so why did it also take the united states releasing $6 billion in sanctions to close the deal? what is really going on with the white house and this move? fox correspondent jacque heinrich leaned in for answers. >> you just said that iran is not going to do this for nothing. didn't they also get five iranians? >> they will get five iranance as well. >> why need to add $6 billion on top of that? >> this is the deal that we were

able to strike to secure the release of five americans. we're comfortable in the par am tertiary of this deal. i've heard the critics. somehow they are getting the better end of it. ask the families of those five americans who is getting the better end of it and i think you will get a different answer. >> harris: of course that deal was announced last monday as our nation observed 9/1122 years later. tone deaf or on purpose by the white house? we don't know. the timing of those prisoners being freed coincides with world leaders meeting at the united nations general assembly. both president biden and iran president are scheduled to speak. >> just as that plane carrying the americans heading this way landed in qatar, president biden finally released a statement. part of it says i'm grateful to our partners at home and abroad

for their tireless efforts to help us achieve this outcome including the governments of qatar, and others. as we welcome home our fellow citizens i remind all americans of the serious risks of traveling to iran. american passport holders should not travel there. officials here at the white house are telling us the $6 billion can only be used for humanitarian purposes and they are telling us it's not taxpayer money but iranian money frozen in south korea. but even some democrats are not so sure. >> i want to hear what kind of constraints are being put on in this exchange in terms of what has been reported of the $6 billion that was south korea payments to iran that would be released. i want to hear that and get those details before i weigh in further. >> you have concern that money -- >> the administration has said there are guardrails. i want to get a better description of those guardrails

first. >> guardrails or not there is new concern today that this could encourage further hostage taking. >> the administration is trying to act like money isn't fungible. even if we get the safeguards on the $6 billion it frees up iranian money. whether it's shokin in russia, britteny griner, whether it's this deal. the whole world has gotten the message. take americans hostage and you get billion else of dollars. >> an unusual schedule for president biden today. he is up in new york ahead of the general assembly at the u.n. but not actually going to the u.n. until tomorrow. he has some off camera fundraisers later on this evening but until then it appears that he will be hanging at his hotel. >> harris: look, the struggle is real for the president. i'm about to get into that. peter doocy, thank you. biden is facing sharp criticism over whether he should be on the

ticket for re-election in 2024. if democrats are going to make a change, they better hurry up. after all they want his name on the ballots, right? in the recent fox news polling 60% of registered voters they view biden as unfavorable. the same percentage for vice president kamala harris. 60% against either one of them. the poll also shows a majority say biden does not have the mental soundness that is needed for the job. worth mentioning to you, these negative numbers popped actually before the president faced that impeachment inquiry announcement and before his son was indicted on federal charges. who knows where they will go next? neither of those things is good for him. nbc news is reporting people close to the president are now worried about how hunter's legal trouble could distract president biden from the upcoming election. former white house press

secretary jen psaki with this. >> first and foremost the politics of this are a little hard to predict. right now you have the president's son, somebody he loves deeply, somebody who has very publicly struggled with drug addiction, now facing these charges. my bet is right now this is a heartbroken president in the white house who is worried about his son and we are all watching to see what happens with this. >> harris: sirius xm host and former deputy chief of staff in housing and urban development and we have a former deputy press secretary. that was an interesting way to describe the president of the united states on a day that five americans have been freed from a blood thirsty enemy, iran, that he is heartbroken. >> i'm not necessarily sure that those of us on the

political/ideological right would be given the same level of grace verbally about our friends on the left. it is interesting you mention the sanctions in new york -- in iran. i want to explain to the viewers what sanctions are for. it's to be a deterrent against a rogue state from bad behavior. by releasing those sanctions from iran, harris, the president is essentially saying whatever behavior you decide to do or partake in, we don't really mind as long as we get americans out. it sends the wrong signal to the american people. sends the wrong message to our adversaries across the globe. i think this is part and parcel why so many democratic voters and independents and center right leaning republicans say they are not very happy about the overall direction of the country not only under biden. but they don't want harris, either. >> harris: what was so impressive and he retired from public life. bill richardson, democrat.

ran for president, jose. that was a man who could do some deals to get some americans home. that is how we knew. richard o'brien was a former trump presidency another name that comes up for someone who can bring hostages and people detained wrongfully abroad home. how would you describe this deal? please don't say what the white house is saying oh, oh my goodness, if you ask the families, we all want our loved ones home. we love our babies, our aunts or uncles, yes, but that's separate from the country who doesn't want to be held hostage in negotiations for our future national security. so what do you think of this deal? >> look, i think a simple answer would be that american lives matter and these five americans that get to come back home matter. there is no amount of money that

is being released into iran to put a price on their lives. the deal is right and i'm proud of this deal and this president. >> harris: if you allow me i want to follow up with jose for this. you say any amount of money. absolutely life is priceless, in fact. there is no money. but there is security in the future. if this puts a shingle out to all those people who would otherwise take americans all the time and may continue to do that, if this puts a shingle out it's payday from america how much worse do you think that situation can potentially get? >> i understand the point of that. >> harris: i want to make sure i understand you. >> i understand your point that could bring out an invitation for people who want to do wrongdoing to use american lives to release this type of money, $6 billion in this case. if you try to trick america, if

you try to mess with america, we'll find you and we will find you and look. iran can try and do whatever they can and play with the united states of america. we will beat them every single time. i am optimistic this president, administration and country will prevail. as simple as that. it is diplomacy. sometimes there is money involved. we don't get everything we want. a reality of politics. i think the deal is a good deal. >> harris: they got everything they wanted. five and a swap. >> with all due respect i think we talk in platitudes. what signal do we send to nations across the globe that we'll do a trade in terms of giving you the appropriate number of individuals in terms for american lives but we aren't going to release sanctions which again are a deterrent from your previous past bad behavior. this is a terrible decision in terms of the future safety of americans across the globe.

>> harris: you know, we do want to word it that way. if we'll be critical of anything, it is not the freedom of these five americans who are so glad they are coming home. a few hours from now, we're told, as they leave qatar to come to the washington, d.c. area. u.s. soil again. this is about the deal and about how it exposes us as a nation. we'll move. the biden impeachment inquiry has the white house and other top democrats reportedly playing major defense for the president. watch this. >> republicans in congress, right, have spent all year investigating the president. that's what they've spent all year doing. and have turned up with no evidence, none. >> there is no facts in the record to suggest that president biden engaged in wrongdoing. there are no facts on the record to suggest that president biden engaged in impeachable offenses. >> harris: they are all in on the narrative and so are the liberal media. one republican lawmakers called

out an abc host after he posed a question casting doubt on evidence. >> the facts are everywhere. there are text messages, there are emails, there are witnesses, there are whistleblowers, there are meetings, there are phone calls, there are dinners. we are talking about bribery and in the constitution article two section four that's the basis for impeachment. >> there is no evidence of bribery. >> there are witnesses, the 1023 form. there are -- >> you've been investigating. >> there is evidence. >> harris: house speaker kevin mccarthy says the investigation will be run the right way. >> we're simply following the facts wherever it takes us. unfortunately looks like a culture of corruption with this family. >> what about the impeachment inquiry. will you subpoena hunter biden >> we only follow facts. hunter biden will get subpoenaeded. >> harris: jose registered

voters are saying they think there might be some problems with biden and hunter and at the very least it's a distraction. >> look, i'm not worried about polls. i'm worried how much can biden do for the american people before next year's election. polls go up and down. 2016 every poll said that hillary clinton would be president. she is not the president. never the president. so i'm not worried about polls. whether they benefit democrats or don't benefit democrats. i'm worried about how much more can biden do for the american people until the next election. >> he is doing a lot americans aren't happy about. quickly there are limitations to the amount of investigatory powers our members have. the whole point and purpose of having an inquiry is to give them additional powers to subpoena bank records and see how money was moved around and transferred to which accounts. it is important for the american people democrats and republicans to understand more powers would

truly allows us to figure out whether or not the president did do something wrong. >> harris: a sticky wicket for democrats right now. i can understand how some may feel we don't want to spit out the name of anybody else who might be on the ticket. it is tricky politically but you have to start to pay attention to some of the polling so consistent across polling surveys. and none of them have this president above water on any issue, particularly the economy. good to see you both. thank you. critics are calling it the federman rule. hoodie? the change the dress code that will allow cute sweatshirts and shorts on the senate floor. the president's border crisis has exploded again. a freight train headed north toward the united states border. look at this. packed with people looking to cross our border. some of them illegally because

that's continuing to be the mix. those on board are ignoring vice president kamala harris when she said don't come. remember that? she was south of the border and, of course, the white house made her eat those words. exclusive fox news video shows one of the largest mass illegal crossings we've ever seen in one texas border town. brian kilmeade simulcasting from his radio to our tv. call newday. pay off your high rate credit cards and car loan with an affordable va home loan from newday. you can save $500 every month. rates on credit cards have gone up to 22%. for late payments, as much as 30%, more than three times higher than a newday va loan. pay off your credit cards and car with a newday100 va loan and save. oh, booking.com

stunning exclusive new fox video with a train filled with cheering people from all over the global coming our way despite the vice president, kamala harris, early on in the administration warning people not to come. they didn't listen to her but they know the border is open. eagle pass, texas, our fox drone captured video of one of the largest mass illegal crossings we have ever seen there. border patrol telling fox 2200 people have crossed illegally since midnight. also in eagle pass, fox cameras capturing the moment migrant families forcing young children to crawl through razor wire to get into this country. babies. who does that? they were crossing illegally during a thunderstorms. texas troopers had to cut the wire to let the little ones

especially in for the safety of those children. we have this video from san diego. >> you are free to go wherever you want. >> no problem if i go to chicago? >> go wherever you want. you're free. >> harris: so you see those aren't republican governors pushing the people onto buses. no, they're told go wherever you want. that was a border agent telling a man sure, you are free. just one of the many people from china and pakistan dropped off on the city streets due to overcrowding at city shelters. fox radio brian kilmeade, host, "fox & friends" co-host and host of one nation on saturday nights as well. i want to get your initial thoughts what freedom is to these people handed over at the border whether we can begin to vet them or don't even try.

>> we can try and we aren't. we're asking border patrol to do way too much. you heard the exchange. you put it on your show on friday between this one man i want to go to chicago and they said you can go wherever you want. that is the story. you don't think because we're located in new york and thinking too new york centric. outside border cities it's a a major issue happening in new york. you heard mayor adams. we're sharing audiences now. mayor adams told al sharpton over the weekend it cost $2 billion already this year. $5 billion by the end of the year and $5 billion over the next three years. think about this. now every category of the city budget cut 15% including police. >> harris: you know who that hurts? the citizens. i want to get your response to this. this is a sanctuary city where i

work in new york. i don't live here. we are seeing sanctuary cities taking a massive financial hit and begging for help because of the influx of particularly illegal immigrants who go where they want and sleep where they want. and their own gabbard hitting democrats for flip-flopping. >> they aren't getting the real threat that is occurring right before our eyes. this president and his administration, they don't care about securing this country. they don't care about the interests and well-being of the american people who are being impacted very negatively impacted by the biden/harris administration open border policies. >> harris: before gabbard tells me i'm no longer a democrat and congresswoman. she has had a lot of problems with her party. the least of which, brian. >> so they have the sanctuary policy in place and the right to shelter in place from the 80s in

new york. he was looking to overturn the shelter in place. if you get here i have to give you a place to stay and give you something to eat and now we added the little thing. we wash your clothes. fan cast particular and give you a mini menu on top of that. in the beginning adams says give us your huddled masses. now he is saying we're out. do you remember when president trump one of the things he did on immigration was we are going to stop making it legal to have a sanctuary cities? the cities sued back and got the sympathetic courts and said the cities can make their own decision? you made your own decision. the answer can't be using more of our tax dollars just from a different pot to pay for these people. that's what the whole thing is. >> harris: but it can be because nobody is stopping them. when you hear someone like tulsi gabbard saying the dems are getting this wrong she is not

the only one. every american is seeing this. the ones who aren't are inside the democratic white house. maybe they have shades and can't see the rest of us. i want to get to this. there is so much there. but this might speak to the issue of why capitol hill isn't focused on all of us. they are focused on what to wear. we may soon see hoodies, john federman of pennsylvania, on the senate floor. fox news confirming reports chuck schumer is relaxing the senate dress code. that's a priority. business attire is still the official rule we're told. schumer has told the sergeant-at-arms to stop enforcing that this week. critics call it a way to appease john federman known for wearing hoodies and gym shorts to the senate. senators can choose what they wear. cornyn sees it as a double

standard since others entering the senate chamber must comply with the dress code. coats and ties for men. business attire for women. guy benson calling it the federman rule. >> so there is a few things going on here. it is all about john federman, number one. if you want to campaign and the people of pennsylvania want to put him in office unable to put together sadly because of his stroke, couldn't debate, couldn't do a speech. we have no idea what he stands for. if we have to look back at old videotapes to find out what he will be like as a senator it looks like he is getting better now. why would you bend the rules for one senator? what sense is that? do you have any sense of tradition? it's the whole sloppiness we're seeing everywhere you go. if you go to the airports especially. what are people wearing when they are going out? i'm just saying why can't somebody who is 78 years old like senator schumer understand

there is a bit of a tradition him and hold him to a high standard instead of everybody else to a low one? can you imagine how staffers feel making a tiny bit of money and have to buy suits and ties. there is fetterman with ripped shorts and sandals on his feet and hoodies on his head. i'm an odd looking guy anyway. it should make republicans push more and more to bring everything back. >> harris: i had not heard that. an odd looking guy anyway. there is a dress code. if they will be focused on this it is a shiny object away from crises like all the border troubles we're having right now. this is the least important part. brian, i have to run. you have to go do radio. we understand now the state department secretary blinken speaking on the hostages freed from iran.

let's watch. >> after they landed in doha, i can tell you that it was for them, for me, an emotional conversation. it is easy in the work we do every day, sometimes to get lost in the abstractions of foreign policy and relations with other countries. and forgetting the human element that's at the heart of everything we do. but today their freedom, the freedom of these americans for so long unjustty imprisoned and detained in iran means some basic things. it means that husbands and wives, fathers and children, grand parents can hug each other again, can see each other again, can be with each other again.

so it's a day i'm grateful for. i want to thank a number of partners who have been so vital to helping us reach this day particularly our partners in ohman, switzerland, qatar, the united kingdom. each played an important role in enable us to free our fellow citizens. i would also like to thank an extraordinary team at the state department and throughout the united states government that has been working to achieve this result for years now. as happy as we are at the freedom of our fellow citizens, we also are thinking today of bob levinson who is not among them and who is presumed deceased. bob's legacy, however, lives on powerfully in the levinson act

which has given us new and important tools to help crack down and deter the practice of taking americans unlawfully to try to turn them into political pawns. and to abuse the international system in that way. one of the things that i heard in my conversation with our fellow citizens now free is their own determination, their own commitment and conviction to continuing this work to making sure that other americans who are unjustly detained anywhere in the world come home. to date under this administration we've now brought 30 americans home from places around the world where they were being unjustly detained. that work will continue. at the same time, we are going to be working every single day to take steps to make this practice more and more difficult and more and more of a burden on those countries that engage in

it. and you will see in the days ahead here in new york at the united nations are efforts to work with other countries to do just that. but for today, for this moment, it's very good to be able to say that our fellow citizens are free after enduring something that i think would be difficult for any of us to imagine, that their families will soon have them back among them, and that in this moment, at least, i have something very joyful to report. finally, let me say that throughout this effort, throughout the work we've done to bring so many other americans home, president biden has demonstrated that he is prepared to make tough and difficult decisions. i have no higher priority. the president has no higher priority than making sure that americans who are unjustly detained anywhere can come home and we'll continue that work in

the days ahead. thank you. >> based on the successful swap this week, will there be -- are you expecting any indirect talks with the iranians any time soon? but through the -- [inaudible] >> thank you. two things. first let me be very clear that this process, and the engagements necessary to bring it about, the freedom of these unjustly-detained americans has always been a separate track in our engagement or lack of engagement with iran. so irrespectsive of what what's happening or not to return to the nuclear agreement we've been focused on working independently to bring these americans home. it doesn't speak to anything else in the relationship.

we continue to be determined to take whatever step is necessary to deal with actions by iran in a whole host of areas that are profoundly objectionable. at the same time when it comes to perhaps the number one issue of concern, iran's nuclear program, we continue to believe diplomacy is the best way to get a sustainable, effective result. one we had previously with the iran nuclear agreement and we'll continue to see if there are opportunities for that in this moment we're not engaged on that but we'll see if there are opportunities. but president biden has been very clear that iran not achieve a nuclear weapon. we're focused today on the fact that these americans are free after having endured something

most of us can't possibly imagine. in one case one of our fellow americans was in prison for eight years unjustly. and that's what we're focused on for today. >> [inaudible question] >> in fact, when we met with our colleagues, our fellow americans had not yet arrived in doha. we didn't want to get ahead of that process. having said that, as i

mentioned, two countries in particular played an absolutely vital role in helping get us to this day. ohman and qatar. i have had occasion to talk to them about the relationship with iran, which is a challenge for each and every one of them including for us. and to discuss in that context some of the efforts that we were making to bring home our wrongfully detained americans. i don't want to speak for them but everyone is supportive of that effort. with regard to the resources, i think it's very important to be very clear about exactly what this involved. as you know, this involved the access by iran to its own money. money that had accumulated in korean bank as the result of oil

sales which were lawful at the time those sales were made. and from day one, our sanctions have clearly and indeed always exempt the use of resources for humanitarian purposes because our aim is not to harm the iranian people, our problem, profound problem is with the iranian regime. from day one these iranian monies that were in a korean bank have always been available to iran to use for humanitarian purposes. but for a lot of technical reasons, they weren't able to access those funds where they were. so the funds were moved to another bank where we have absolute oversight of how they are used and they can only be used for humanitarian purposes and we have absolute confidence in the process of the system that's been set up.

the previous administration prior to ours set up a similar mechanism that was never used but exactly for these kinds of purposes. so we're very confident that the funds, iranian funds that have been made more easily available to iran as a result of the actions we've taken will be used exclusively for humanitarian purposes and the means and mechanisms to make sure it happens. thank you very much. >> harris: i want to say more about a man as we come out listening to the news from the state department on those five prisoners coming home, american citizens detained wrongfully inside a brutal regime of iran. and that swap that they made with the $6 billion release in sanctions will get criticism but where our focus is today is on those human beings who have come home back to u.s. soil.

there was someone i mentioned and really with a heavy heart and i want to go into it deeper now. when you have people who can make these kind of deals and not necessarily increase the national security risks as the current potential deal could because of the money involved, you want to draw attention to them. i mentioned one from the trump presidency and i mentioned secretary bill richardson who was a very successful foreign hostage negotiator. his resume was more than that, though. this month the nation reflected the former congressman, governor, cabinet member, u.n. secretary. he died in his sleep at age 75 at his home in cape cod, massachusetts. he did a lot. when we talk about bringing republicans and democrats together, maybe this is one way we can do it by remembering those who know how to bring them home and continue to keep us safe. we'll move on.

hunter biden is now suing the i.r.s. directly. he claims agents illegally disclosed his tax information and violated his privacy. last week special counsel david weiss indicted hunter on federal gun charges and he signaled that more charges could be on the way against him. i.r.s. whistleblower gary shapley's legal team fired off a statement reading this suit is just another frivolous smear by biden family attorneys to try to turn people's attention away from hunter biden's own legal problems and intimidate any current and future whistleblowers, end quote. house republicans say they'll subpoena hunter biden when the facts lead them there. the white house does not want to talk about any of it. >> how much has the president talked to his son -- >> nothing new. i won't get into private conversations the president has with his family. not going to speak to it.

i'm not going to get into private conversations the president has with his family. >> harris: a new op-ed, hunter's gun charge is a big problem for the biden crime family. one republican says there is a mountain of evidence against the president. >> we have got literally dozens and dozens of suspicious activity reports for banking anomalies connected with the bidens. transmissions between the president and his son under fictitious name. all that leads to corruption and influence peddling. >> harris: matt whitaker, former acting u.s. attorney general. matt, what do you see as the legal sort of wranglings behind the scenes on behalf of hunter biden and where do republicans need to go next? >> i see a multi-pronged approach on both sides.

you have the prosecutor's case which when i was a prosecutor we tried to prove the most readily chargeable offense. weiss is looking at the least politically acceptable. hunter biden is not sitting being quiet. he is defending himself through his attorney, but also by suing the i.r.s. this is a very much a two-sided battle and where it will come out is left to be seen. hunter is facing some significant jail time especially if additional charges are filed relating to tax or foreign influence peddling. >> harris: is the move of suing the i.r.s. meant to chill republicans from going any deeper? how does that help him? >> what it does is first of all, i think there is a legitimate question as to whether the

whistleblowers stayed within the bounds of the law on whistleblowers and went to congress. they did a lot of media, as you know, harris. and that's a question that i think is ultimately going to be at issue. just like we've talked about with president trump, no one is above the law but nobody is below the law. so these laws are supposed to apply equally to all americans and hunter biden is entitled to those rights as well to his privacy of his tax returns. so we'll find out what the courts have to say on that. >> harris: i've heard attorneys say they wish their clients wouldn't talk. i guess that might apply to whistleblowers, too. that maybe you talk to only the people who can make the change. but sometimes they are worried will anybody believe me? they are burying my statements and that sort of thing. where would you like to see whistleblowers fall here? >> certainly whistleblowers have a very important role. my home state senator chuck grassley has been very involved in whistleblowers.

yesterday was his 90th birthday, i would add. that being said, you know, i think whistleblowers need to stay within the four corners of the protections that they are afforded and when things are not being addressed or there needs to be transparency and knowledge of the american people, those whistleblowers should be afforded those rights. they need to stay within the bounds of those rights afforded to them. >> harris: it also, you know, really helps in their safety i would imagine, too. with regard to hunter biden, we don't know if that's where he is going. he is suing the i.r.s. and we'll see if that's not just a shiny object or something that can help him out. the charges against him are very serious. good to see you, matthew. thank you. >> have a great day. >> harris: graphic video of a deadly bicycle crash involving a retired police chief. what the teenage driver who reportedly mowed him down told his laughing passengers right

before he slammed into him. a horrific example of violence against police. >> feels like an anti-police thing and outgrowth of things post 2020. >> a young sheriff's deputy was gunned down sitting inside his patrol car. authorities have arrested a suspect. attacks like this unfortunately on the rise across america. we'll look at it. jason rantz in "focus" next. nowg bite out of family budgets? car loans. get a newday 100 va cash out loan. own your car and have no more monthly car payments.

>> he ambushed and killed, murdered one of our deputies. >> this coward or cowards took his life sitting at a red light. >> harris: the details are horrifying. authorities have arrested that suspect, by way. police say he shot and killed sheriff's deputy ryan clinkunbroomer as he was sitting in his patrol car in uniform over the weekend. clinkunbroomer was 30 years old and just gotten engaged four days before what appears to be a targeted attack against law enforcement. also we are getting some dramatic new video related to the murder of a retired california police chief in las vegas. he was riding his bicycle when a

car mowed him down last month. we need to warn you, watching this video may be disturbing. >> harris: fortunately we don't see that play out. look how close the car got before the video is cut right there. he never saw it coming. the teenage driver heard plotting the attack with his laughing passengers right before the car slams into the man, the impact propelled him onto the windshield as he crashed to the ground. it is not clear if that teenage driver knew him or knew that he was a former law enforcement officer when he reportedly hit him. but the fraternal order of police is saying that more than

100 officers were shot in 83 ambush-style attacks so far this year. they also say the number of officers shot in the line of duty is up by 25%. jason rantz, seattle radio talk show host and author of the book what is killing america. jason, what do you make of the increase in all of this? it's bad enough this exists but now on the rise. >> on the rise at the same time we have seen rhetoric that has demonized police officers coming from politicians and activists. tell me a time in recent memory where we have had something so insane as far as the fiery rhetoric that's constantly demonizing offices saying they're out to get you and racist murderers. when you pass the policies that go soft on criminals and tell them they can get away with anything and we won't put you in

jail. what do you think will happen? it emboldens youth. a surge in youth violent crime across the country. >> harris: and it is the function of that duality that you say, the horrible hateful words plus the actions to back them up. who thinks that those policies aren't also walking out a bit of hate for everybody else and a bit of i don't know what it is, fascination, love, privilege they want to hand to the criminals? >> at the same time, i think it's really important to note this. i'm glad you pointed out the recent stat as far as ambushes and attacks against officers. there has been a rise of so many other types of crime that i think a lot of us have sort of forgotten to put a spotlight on that. within the last week or month we had officer kevin cram shot and killed in iowa. we had a texas cop yesterday, shot in the face. we had a detective here in

washington state in tacoma was shot by a juvenile. democrats have silent. there was a time when an officer was murdered in this country everyone would put out a statement. someone would step forward at the national level and say enough is enough. our heart is with the families. but we're backing these officers and we're not getting that anymore. >> harris: we get that or the reflexive role this is how guns play a role in society and police officers are getting caught in that, too. we see the politics of the moment. >> yeah, no doubt. at the same time, something that has become political but shouldn't is we have a lot of especially talking about the juveniles. talking about broken families in many cases. not always. not someone who is a single parent will do a bad job with their kid but the data suggests coming from broken homes has a

prior proper -- they take advantage of adults and put them down the path and we don't have those conversations, either. >> harris: or they have no other thing to do with their life. haven't found any divine purpose for themselves and get caught up. caught up can be deadly as you've just seen for the officers. thank you for being with me.
