"the faulkner focus" is up next. here she is. >> harris: an unrelenting wave
8:01 am
of illegal alien crossings in eagle pass, texas. we have been showing it to you for several days running now. the mind-boggling images of people from an estimated 150 countries simply walking across our sovereign southern border non-stop. late yesterday, we learned the border crisis has now churned up new biden policy and here it is. the biden administration is about to give legal working status to 472,000 people from venezuela. how will that affect the wildfire of illegal entries into this country? i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." a record number of crossings for eagle pass, texas. we saw 3,000, 4,000 yesterday. texas governor greg abbott ordered razor wire to be reinstalled there. remember they were cutting
8:02 am
through it because little ones were trying to come underneath. border patrol didn't want the children to be cut to bits. they were cutting through it. they are reinstalling that now. the biden administration had cut through that wire in the first place with, quote, opening the floodgates. eagle pass's democratic mayor declaring a state of emergency. >> eagle pass is a city of 30,000 people. we cannot sustain this flow. we need help. we need it now. we need people from the top, i'm talking from our president, our vice president. we're scared to go outside. we can't walk anymore. we have random people walking the streets. >> harris: people from the top will take it from the new york mayor. if you wait for joe biden to show up, that will be a life long wait. new information on how the biden administration may be looking to keep track of all of those illegal immigrants released into the united states hour after hour, identification cards they
8:03 am
are looking at like these. mind you, i know from being down there, they are giving something similar out in other countries while they wait to cross the border into the united states. if you go to places along the line of arizona, some of the border states, i call it a line because you step over it, they leave documents like this already in the grass. so some of them have these i.d.s that are dispenseable. i can't imagine how this changes the game for them. i guess it appeases the administration to make them feel like they are doing something like the other countries like mexico. bill melugin at ground 0, a biden border crisis in eagle pass, texas right now. bill, you and i were walking along the grass line. we know what the people do with these i.d.s? >> they ditch them. it hurts their asylum claims. the illegal mass crossings started before sunrise in eagle pass this morning and they have not stopped. let's take a live look at one of our cameras a few hundred yards
8:04 am
behind me now, we are watching as there is a group of migrants in mexico waiting to cross illegally. if you can take our ground camera, that's the drone you are looking at now. we have a ground camera looking into mexico as a group of migrants are waiting to cross here into the united states. you can see a border patrol boat is in front of them trying to block them. i can tell you a body was just pulled out of the water in this exact spot about 30 minutes ago. a 3-year-old boy drowned here yesterday. migrants have been crossing through this area all morning long. you can see these ones want to. right now they are getting a little worried about the border patrol boat being there. the video i shot on my cell phone earlier. they are beginning in eagle pass. long lines of migrants wading through the water coming into the united states when that border patrol wasn't around. they find holes where the texas national guard doesn't have
8:05 am
razor wire and then they enter into the united states. again these are predominantly single adult men. most of them from what we're seeing from venezuela. some are coming with venezuelan flags they are wearing. drone video from yesterday when we had the mass illegal crossing you were referencing. more than 3,000 people. this is perspective from the mexican side of the river when that mass crossing first began. what you'll notice is there was 0 resistance whatsoever on the mexican side of the river. even though the mexican army and police were over there, they were not stopping any of these mass crossings. harris, you mentioned off the top. governor abbott is pointing the finger at the federal government. look at this video he posted yesterday to his twitter feed accusing the federal government of border patrol cutting through the razor wire he deployed at the river's edge. by opening it up they let the migrants in and what started the massive wave earlier this morning -- earlier yesterday. the wave has not stopped. send it back to you. >> harris: we know from your reporting and others some of the
8:06 am
reason they were doing that is because kids were getting pinned between the blades along the razor wire on the ground and we're still human. our border patrol is doing a mighty job. god bless them. our government on the other hand, i don't know what they're doing. bill, thank you. jason chaffetz, former utah congressman, fox news contributor. i'm talking about the types of in the moment decisions that we are now forcing our men and women at the border to make. tough decisions about how to keep sovereignty and also be human. that has been put upon them because the white house, this president is abdicating his responsibility now. >> they have been inviting drug cartels to ferry these people into the united states illegally. the drug problem, human trafficking, rapes that happen along the way. these tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors just flowing into the states. and you know what? i'm fed up with the democrats
8:07 am
saying what we need is comprehensive immigration reform. you don't. enforce the law. if you come in between the border, you are to be detained and deported. that is the current law and that's what they should be doing. number two, every time those democrats say we need comprehensive immigration reform, where is your bill? you don't have a single bill that you can point to. i used to be on the immigration subcommittee in the house of representatives. for two years we sat there and they didn't do a hearing except with steven colbert. they don't have a bill. they have opened up the borders and allowing and encouraging and pushing these people into the united states. the president, the vice president, they set the policy. and they are executing it and hand in glove with the drug cartels. it's that simple. >> harris: it was eye-popping to see the news being made late yesterday that they are now going to offer up 472,000
8:08 am
venezuelans to get work authorizations. that's what alexandria ocasio-cortez was shouted down about on the streets of new york when protestors showed up pro-america against illegal immigration. got shouted down. gerry nadler and other democrats were with her and the white house capitulates and gives in on that. venezuela is a failed economic state. a failed country. they gave away their country in socialist moves. people are calling this -- what do you say about it? anarchy what we're going through right now? >> it is anarchy. we're doing it now by the tens of thousands, we don't know who these people are or their background. you can come legal lily and lawfully into this country but you need to go through a port of entry. we give out a million people come in legally. with this administration is saying you are a chump if you do that. risk your life.
8:09 am
go across the water. don't care if there is a 3-year-old that drowns. we have had more than 100 children who have lost their lives doing this and this administration does not care. they are encouraging it. they are doing exactly what the drug cartels want them to do. >> harris: and those are the children we know about. when you cross one of the world's toughest jungles in the middle of venezuela, we don't know how many people are getting left behind there. that's tough ground to come across. all right, jason. i want to take you to another place now and that requires a reporter of ours. i will ask you to sit by. this is important. we've watched it live here, lawmakers demanding answers yesterday from attorney general merrick garland on everything from the hunter biden investigation, the targeting of parents, the deeming catholics domestic terrorists, the works. there were fireworks. >> attorney general, through the chair i ask you do you agree
8:10 am
that traditional catholics are violent extremists? >> i have no idea what the traditional means here. let me just -- they go to church. >> the idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous. so absurd. >> it was your f.b.i. that did this. it was your f.b.i. that was sending -- we have the memos, we have the emails. >> harris: eventually he went on to say no, catholics are not extremists. it's a two-minute segment of him trying to walk it back, walk the dog, i don't know. finally he said no. fox news contributor and "new york post" columnist miranda devine says merrick garland wilts on the hot seat. david spunt with his reporting. >> in that clip with congressman
8:11 am
van drew the attorney general was referring to his family escaping nazi persecution during world war ii and appalled by the f.b.i. memo removed by f.b.i. systems. the big topic of yesterday as you might have guessed was special counsel david weiss or hunter biden. watch this. >> the fix is in. even with the face saving indictment last week of hunter biden, everyone knows the fix is in. 4 1/2 years the department of justice has been investigating mr. biden, an investigation run by david weiss. an investigation that limited the number of witnesses agents could interview. >> garland appointed weiss after personally asked garland to make that request. >> i reaffirm today i am not the president's lawyer. i will add, i am not congress's prosecutor.
8:12 am
the justice department works for the american people. >> democrats down played hunter biden questions in the hearing even one saying this to the attorney general. >> thank you for putting up with this today. the american people are watching. they know what's going on here. this is a gross misuse of your time, your team's time, and our time. >> we learned yesterday hunter biden will be in court on tuesday october 3rd in delaware to plead not guilty to the felony gun charges. remember he was indicted last week. back to you. >> harris: we can't forget that. david spunt, thank you very much. the "wall street journal"'s editorial board with this call. merrick garland ducks the hunter biden questions. he ducked a lot of stuff yesterday. the one interesting nugget he offered was that he never considered anyone other than david weiss for special counsel. in fact, he said david weiss asked him for that job. that's an extraordinary admission given the reason a
8:13 am
special counsel become politically useful for garland was because mr. weiss had brought the justice department's credibility into question. that, of course, a reference to hunter biden's sweetheart deal that fell apart. i want to bring in jason chaffetz again and get your top line thoughts on this. >> i thought the attorney general was pathetic. he was blissfully ignorant. he was con conveniently unaware of january 6th or hunter biden. he is just a professional at testifying at this point. i think the committee did a very good job of peppering him with questions. they should have driven home that the statute says that the special counsel shall not be a member of the u.s. government. they are not supposed to be in the department of justice. if they had put up that graphic and just driven that home and said how is it that you appointed david weiss, you
8:14 am
didn't consider anybody else, that point could have been even stronger. >> harris: jason, thank you for being with me today. appreciate it. bret baier's exclusive sit-down with saudi arabia's crown prince is continuing to make headlines. what the crown prince says will happen if iran ends up with a nuclear weapon. just days after that rogue nation kicked out nuclear inspectors, we did that prisoner swap, gave them $6 billion in relief in sanctions, and then they kicked out a third of their nuclear inspectors. they are having a good week in iran. brand-new fox polling on the gop presidential race with the second primary debate just about a week out. six candidates on the stage. one of them former vice president mike pence is here with me in "focus" next. teeth sensitivity is so common. it immediately feels like somebody's poking directly on the nerve. i recommend sensodyne.

8:20 am
>> harris: all right. pop your corn early because it will be a good night. six evenings from today, fox business and unvision will host the second debate of the republican primary. so far six candidates have qualified for the stage. a huge opportunity to make inroads with voters. new numbers out of early contest dates right now fox polls show president trump with a lead in both south carolina and iowa. his former vice president mike pence in the low single digits right now. another national polling showing a similar scenario in new hampshire. some interesting bigger picture analysis, though, from fox power rankings. voters overwhelmingly confirm candidates with a populist message over those with traditional conservative one. karl rove reminding us it's
8:21 am
still early and argues iowa could be a game changer. today the former president has a big lead in national gop primary polls. be aware -- beware republican primary voters don't like being taken for granted. right now that's what mr. trump and his team are doing. voters know how to register their unhappiness. former vice president mike pence will be on that second debate stage next week. he joins me now live on the mezz. good to see you. let's start with populism versus conservatism. i've heard you talk about that. why is that key with voters? >> i think it's the choice that republican primary voters face. i know there are a lot of ways to slice this. i still believe the majority of republican primary voters believe in a strong national defense, american leadership in the world, believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility and growth, believe in the right to life and traditional values. there are voices including the
8:22 am
former president and some of his imitators in this race that are articulating a set of policies that are described as populism but -- >> harris: an example. >> let's begin with fiscal responsibility. joe biden's policy about the national debt, which is now larger than our nation's economy, joe biden's policies insolvency. he won't talk about reforming the entitlements that are 70% of the federal budget. other candidates in the field have said it should be for some other president down the road. i've been willing to say look, i'm a conservative. not in a bad mood about it but you know me, harris, for a long time i have been in these fights for fiscal responsibility and reform. the president of the united states will bring common sense reforms to those policies. another one has to do with taxes. we cut taxes when we were in
8:23 am
office. the largest tax cut in american history. donald trump today actually proposes a 10% tar if on all goods coming into the united states. the tax foundation says it could cost 500,000 jobs. a time with 17% inflation across the country the last thing we need is to raise the cost of goods at the border. >> harris: a couple points there. i hope at some point we'll see the former president on a debate stage. >> me, too. >> harris: or in a conversation even not a debate. it needs to happen. you don't agree on a lot of different things and you were his vice president. so when i hear you say we cut taxes, you do mean under trump and so there are some points where you still aren't yoked to one another. let's move on what to do about iran, islamic republic recently expelled one third of all its nuclear inspectors. they got a sweetheart deal on top of the prisoner swap coming
8:24 am
days after the biden administration cut that deal. $6 billion in sanctions freed up in exchange or on top of -- because the exchange was five prisoners from them, five prisoners from us and some sweet cash on top for them. that money is designated for humanitarian uses. however, critics are skeptical. they should be. and they ask if iran can really be stopped from using it to fund nuclear weapons and terrorism. saudi arabia's crown prince had this chilling warning in an exclusive interview with our own bret baier. let's watch. >> are you concerned iran gets a nuclear weapon about them getting a nuclear weapon? >> we are concerned of any country getting a nuclear weapon. that's a bad move. you don't need to get a nuclear weapon. you can't use it. even if iran gets a nuclear weapon, any country using a nuclear weapon that means they are having a war with the rest of the world.
8:25 am
>> bill: if they get one, will you? >> if they get one, we have to get one. >> harris: what is your reaction to that? >> well look, the policy of the biden administration toward iran literally spending the last 2 1/2 years begging iran to get back into the iran nuclear deal. the capstone -- i welcome any american being freed from captivity. during our administration we worked hard to bring americans home. you should never pay ransom, especially to the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world. by saying $6 billion to iran the biden administration has made every american abroad less safe. and so i welcome the dialogue that's happening between israel and saudi arabia and i'm hopeful there will be an agreement there. important to remember saudi arabia brokered a deal with iran and if there is one message we need to make clear in the middle east is that we will never allow
8:26 am
iran to obtain a nuclear weapon and america will stand with and if necessary defend israel shoulder to shoulder in any aggressive action by iran. >> harris: if you mean that you better get a republican in office. if you look at the deal that just got made, if you are israel and looking at that deal i wonder what you are thinking. america is open for business and not in a good way. all right. former president donald trump -- you brought him up. -- my team has slid this in. was in iowa yesterday with this on u.s. aid to ukraine. >> it's not sustainable. with your help, love and vote we will make america first. these people want china first, they want other countries first. ukraine first. they want all this stuff. we give every time somebody comes over from ukraine they walk out with $25 billion. we want to help ukraine but, you know, europe right now is up to $25 billion and we're up to $2
8:27 am
hundred billion. >> harris: you have differences from the former president when it comes to ukraine policy. first of all, why and what are they? >> look, during the trump/pence administration we stood with our allies and stood up to our enemies and willing to use american hard power, armed forces took down the isis caliphate and solomony, we fired cruise missiles into syria. what i hear in the president's voice there and some of his imitators in the race is backing away from america's role as leader of the free world. look -- >> harris: that's not his words. you hear it in his voice. >> ronald reagan said in 1985. if you are willing to fight america's enemies with your shoulders we'll give you the means to fight them so we don't have to. the reagan doctrine. joe biden has done a terrible job explaining our national interest in ukraine.
8:28 am
our national interest in ukraine is that i'm absolutely convinced if putin rolls over ukraine, the day will come in the near future when he crosses the border of a nato ally where our men and women in uniform will have to go and fight them under the nato treaty. that's our interest there. not what biden has said about all the gauzy speeches about democracy in the world. we need a commander-in-chief that can lead the american people to be the leader of the free world. i will do that if i'm president of the united states. >> harris: former president trump was the only president in the current century that was in charge of our united states and russia did not invade one of its neighbors. >> that's right. >> harris: i don't know why you would want to deviate from what he did. i'm trying to understand. >> it is a great question. i'm not the one deviateing. i believe in peace through strength. we need to build out a military
8:29 am
fitted to the widening challenges of the world, not just russia but china and the threat iran presents. we did that and led the free world. we used american power. what i see is the president appeared some imitators essentially walking away from america's role as leader of the free world. i truly do believe that if we -- if we allow vladimir putin to grab ukraine, we are going to end up in a global conflict. if he takes ukraine, i have no doubt in my mind that not only will he move against a nato ally eventually but china will see a green light in its ambitions and move against taiwan. peace comes through strength. we did that in the trump/pence administration. i'm the one that wants to stay consistent with that agenda. >> harris: i'm not hearing those words from anybody saying we want to walk away. would you sit down with both
8:30 am
those leaders? would you broker peace between the two of them? >> well, i think what we need to do is stop providing ukraine with support in the means that biden has been doing so. when i travel to ukraine three months ago what i heard was we promised them tanks in january. they still don't have them. we promised them f-16s. we recently approved them getting them from another country. look, we have given ukraine, i believe, just enough not to lose but we are the arsenal of democracy. we ought to give them the resources to defeat the russian military, drive them out, and i think that's the sureest way forward with peace. i want to say to you peace through strength and it is american strength and the free world that will set those conditions. >> harris: what you just said is important for people to hear. just enough not to lose.
8:31 am
that's a political strategy on the left, then. because what happens if it gets pushed in the future? you have this president trying to hang onto the white house. continuously while this is going on just enough not to lose. to prolong it. >> that's not the way we operated. when we moved, we moved overwhelmingly and forcefully. that's how the american military should always move. we should provide the ukrainian military what they need to win. that will set the conditions for a peaceful future. that's the debate we'll have in a week and looking forward to being on the stage. a choice of futures for the republican party and the american people. i'm running because i truly believe i'm the most consistent, qualified and experienced conservative in the field. >> harris: vice president mike pence running for the white house for the gop nomination. good to see you, thank you. we'll be right back. for strength and energy. woo hoo! ensure, complete balanced nutrition with 27 vitamins and minerals. and ensure complete

8:37 am
hearing is set into president biden's ties to his family business dealings. they say they've already uncovered mountains of evidence of corruption. >> this hearing coming up next week will actually lay the parameters of what we can get at and what we can't get at in the sense that we have an expanded authority with the impeachment inquiry. >> we have gone through investigations, a plethora of evidence of crimes committed by joe biden's family. >> this impeachment inquiry is about one thing and one thing only. that is providing answers for the american people. nothing more, nothing less. >> harris: democrats and the white house as you might acknowledge have a different take. >> it is a no-evidence impeachment inquiry baseless. no evidence. even republicans in congress have said there is no evidence. it doesn't exist. so that's the thing that the american people need to also
8:38 am
realize. there is nothing there. >> harris: leading next week's hearing kentucky congressman james comer, the house oversight chairman. great to have you. i don't know if you just heard what the white house press secretary was saying. even republicans say there is no evidence. what does she mean? >> i have no idea what she means. there are 1 or 2 disgruntled republicans that are trying to claim there is no evidence but at the end of the day the majority of americans in poll after poll realize there is mountains of evidence. let's start with the fact that we've discovered the biden family has taken in over $20 million from foreign nationals that came through a series of shell companies that were then laundered down to the bidens in incremental payments. what did the bidens do to receive that $20 million? they can't answer. they try to act like it didn't happen. like it didn't exist. it did. $20 million. we heard from the i.r.s.
8:39 am
whistleblowers they didn't pay a penny of taxes on this money. that this investigation was leading to joe biden. we found even though joe biden said he never met with or spoke to or had any knowledge of any of these people who were mysteriously wiring millions of dollars to the bidens, we have found through our deposition process that he spoke to every one of them on the phone over a dozen times. so there is mountains of evidence. we can talk about the text messages, emails, we can talk about the bank receipts and that's what we are going to talk about next week in our first impeachment inquiry hearing. >> harris: a few weeks ago you said the bank records were the things that would show the shell companies. now you have that information. i do want to ask this. with the special counsel and with what's going on with hunter biden planning to sue the i.r.s. and really fighting back against some pretty bad charges against him now, tax fraud, i'm wondering does any of that block
8:40 am
your opportunity to subpoena and get more information? >> we are going to find out. i certainly hope not. call me skeptical. but i believe that thus far weiss hasn't demonstrated an ability to be fair in this. we know that he was charged with lying on the gun application. if i listed the 12 crimes that hunter biden committed, that would be a distant 12 in order of most serious to least serious. ironically that's the one crime you can't get joe biden into it. is this a first step or an effort to say we're doing something. when we go to court to get the biden's personal bank records, is the special counsel going to stand up and say we have an ongoing investigation, please don't allow them to have any more damaging evidence against my client. >> harris: that's the phrase of the day. we were talking about people who might not be on board.
8:41 am
representative ken buck. this is an op-ed in the "washington post" from him. my fellow republicans, one disgraceful impeachment does not deserve another. ohio senator j.d. vance has this warning to all of his republican colleagues. >> i think it could backfire on republicans if we go further in the evidence. there are very credible pieces of evidence. we ninety know if there were true. there are credible pieces of evidence that suggest the president of the united states used his prior office to enrich himself and his family. if that's true, then certainly he should be impeached and whether it hurts us or not is not the right question. we have to follow the evidence. if we get too far ahead of the evidence the american people with penalize us. >> i agree completely with j.d. vance. this is an impeachment inquiry. unfortunate we have had to go here but the biden family, this administration and his legal team have blocked and obstructed us at every turn.
8:42 am
yet we continue to uncover more findings, more evidence of wrongdoing by the biden family. so this is the next step. impeachment inquiry. we aren't talking about having an impeachment vote and not an impeachment vote. this is an inquiry that we have every tool at our disposal to goth a speedy trial if we head to court over the personal bank records and emails and allows us to have a better standing when the department -- when the cabinet agencies refuse to turn over information. so we're not having an impeachment hearing. we're having an inquiry because we have gotten to the point to where there is so much evidence of wrongdoing by the biden family and joe biden has lied so many times to the american people about his knowledge of his family's wrongdoing. >> harris: quickly a yes or no. would you be willing to or you planning to subpoena people as part of the inquiry or waiting to get all the mountains of evidence? can you subpoena before that? >> we're following the bank
8:43 am

40-year-old calvin and was caught selling more than 200 pieces of store's stolen jewelry. investigators used surveillance video to match the bike seen at the robbery with him. they matched his distinct walk from the robbery video with video of him walking at local pawnshops. despite this there was a hung jury failing to convict him on any of the seven charges he faced. prosecutors say they will retry this case. >> harris: thank you very much. let's continue on, though, with this senseless violence and how it seems to be growing across the country. another warning, more videos that may be disturbing. although i would argue this. there is so much of this now we pretty much have to say that often. and i do it for the benefit of children who might be in the room. grown-ups, we're seeing this everywhere. some of us are living through it in our own communities.
