hill now. fox news among the journalists spotting the interim republican speaker of the house moments ago patrick mchenry. he sent the entire house home late yesterday following that historic vote to strip kevin mccarthy from the speakership. so what is mchenry doing there today? i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." eight republicans pulled off an epic power move in washington, d.c. it was led by long-time mccarthy critic florida representative matt gaetz. 208 democrats voted against mccarthy as well. all together with those eight booting congressman kevin mccarthy from the speaker seat. and right now it leaves a void that won't be filled likely until next week at the very earliest when lawmakers are set to return. and with this recent media sighting of the interim speaker mchenry, could there be changes coming?

well, whenever the timing is, until they choose a new speaker, the business is at a full stop in the house. today's "new york post" cover with this blistering take. gaetz of hell. before the historic vote, many republicans warning of the impending chaos. >> think long and hard before you plunge us into chaos. >> pass the bills that need pass. do the oversight work that needs to be done and stop the inevitable omnibus that comes from the united states senate right before the holidays. kevin mccarthy has been rock solid on all three. >> if you vacate the speaker nobody is going to try to -- the institution will fail. >> on this vote, the yays are 216, the nays are 210. the resolution is adopted. >> what's next? >> they are not conservatives and do not have right to have the title.

>> harris: you know who is feasting, the democratic national committee pounced on what is a political gift to them with this statement. democrats will continue to be the adults in the room and fight to deliver for the american people like we have every single day since president biden was sworn into office. in "focus", one of the eight house republicans who sent kevin mccarthy packing, congressman andy biggs of the great state of arizona is here. i will begin with congressional correspondent aishah hosni live on capitol hill. you and other reporters on the heels of the interim speaker. what did you learn from him? >> good afternoon to you, harris. i had a very frank conversation just a few moments ago with congressman graves. he basically told me that he does not believe that the conference can coalesce around one person quickly. he thinks the stand still could go on for months and he is actually very worried about the oversight committee and the

oversight powers that are also now as he puts it frozen. take a look at the names that are being floated right now for speaker. that includes steve scalise, matt gaetz supports him. it doesn't necessarily mean that some won't nominate mccarthy again. we need a budget in less than 45 days. committees can hold hearings and doubtful they will. i asked matt gaetz if he is worried about that? >> less than 45 days left before you have to pass a budget. something you have been wanting to do. doesn't it paralyze the house? >> bill: what's paralyzed has been the failure of speaker mccarthy. it was not taking up appropriations bills. >> harris, there are plenty of fallout. some republicans talking about

expelling gaetz if he is found guilty. nancy mace the probably kicked out of the centrist republican caucus. former speaker nancy pelosi and leader steny hoyer are being kicked out of their capitol hideaway office eaves today. that decision came moments after congressman mchenry became acting speaker likely in revenge over democrats siding with gaetz. the house is in chaos. harris. >> harris: we're going to get some answers now from one of those eight. thank you very much for your reporting. congressman andy biggs of arizona, member of the house oversight and judiciary committees. great to have you in "focus" today. was it planned for the eight of you to vote against kevin mccarthy? was it a voting block-type situation? >> well, i think we talked about it, yeah. i don't know if i would say it was a plan to vote against him. i think when this started taking

place, yeah, i was intending to vote against mccarthy. i had no idea the democrats would come on board until sometime yesterday. it wasn't that i was asking them to come on board. my position was always clear because i believe that speaker mccarthy not as a person. he is a nice enough fellow. but as a leader, he had failed not just the conference but the country in my opinion. >> harris: everything has come to a standstill right now, everything. and i know that maybe the pushback would be well those subpoenas and those investigations are going on. you need a speaker of the house to act on the subpoenas. that's one thing promised to the american people. i want to get a handle on what happens as the business is stopped. so you have that part of it. impeachment inquiry, any of that going to go on? and just the regular business of the house while you pick a speaker. our reporter just said the standstill over who it should be

could go on for months. she talked with representative graves. what is your reaction to all of that? >> there is a lot of reaction. she also said the house is in chaos. i think that's inaccurate. i think that the speaker mchenry should have come in and said look, continue with committee hearings. the appropriations committee has two bills, harris, they were supposed to get out last june and haven't taken up. they need to go through and have that vote. they could do that this week. the hearings that we have scheduled should have been going on. we will continue with depositions and transcribed interviews. those are all going on. the only thing that is actually -- >> harris: i want to stop you there and make sure we understand it. hearings and things are all going on in the interim right now? >> they can be. they should be. >> harris: everybody has gone home. i would imagine business has

stopped. hearing that patrick mchenry is on the hill today, would you want him to bring all of you back early? it sounds like that could happen. >> i'm here. i didn't go. because i think we should be doing our work. they should never have sent the people home yesterday. i get that they were a little disarrayed but they shouldn't have said go home. they should have said we can continue with committee hearings. we'll do it appropriations. do it. and they didn't do it. that's part of what continues to happen here over and over, harris. i mean, we were supposed to get 12 appropriations bills out when? by june 30th. >> harris: i got that. and again i want to have a speedier conversation because the american people are hanging right now. they are just wondering they sent you to washington to work together and you guys do work together, you do but right now you've been given a standstill. did you push back on mchenry and

say we don't want to go? i'm staying, let's do more and what were those conversations like? >> my understanding is some of our people did talk to mchenry but they don't know quite what to make of it, to be frank with you. but the reality is what i'm hearing from the american people is very different than what i'm hearing from the washington, d.c. bubble. what i hear from people all over the country is thank you. that needs to go, let's get back to work. that's what i've always said. we should be working. we should be working and getting the stuff done. and this speaker, the former speaker, mccarthy, he was not getting it done. and that's been the problem. and so here we are sit once again. once again, harris. >> harris: i think you have made it abundantly clear and the american people are with you in terms of wanting the move forward on the things that matter. i get that. what i'm wondering is how did we

get to this edge of the cliff situation with everybody going home? i simply mean now you have to do all that stuff you wanted to do with even less time. no one communicated what day one after the vote was going to look like? because it was always going to look like it is up to patrick mchenry. one of the things he did comes across as rather petty. rather than waiting for nancy pelosi or somebody to come back, he takes her office while she is memorializing dianne feinstein. are you all talking? that's not who you are, congressman biggs. that's not who any of these eight are. >> yeah, let me tell you something. what you have seen, i don't know if mr. mchenry's motivations are. i don't know about that. one thing i do know. people ask me i would say look, i know one thing. you are going to see very capable, conservative leadership emerge immediately and before the end of the evening last night i knew of six people who

were running for speaker, harris. and this morning i heard of a couple others. there are people that are running for speaker that i believe will make a very aggressive move to resolve these issues. but when you tell me we're in chaos, i disagree with that 100%. you didn't, aishah did. when she said we were in chaos, we have not descended to chaos. we have regular order. everything that took place yesterday was regular order. what isn't regular order is when you pull the fire alarm to stop a vote. that's not regular order. what we did was regular order. so now we are operating under regular order and operating under the rules and the rules in my opinion allow us to go forward with committees. everybody agrees with that. so -- >> harris: that would be great to see you all reconvene for what you could be doing. by the way, representative bowman gets a pass because no one ising to be focused on the

fact he brought something to a halt merely by pulling a fire alarm but you voted anyway. you did what you needed to do and what the american people want to see again. good to hear you say that you are perched to bring about that good leadership. i want to get to this. a former house speaker wrote an op-ed. newt gingrich. republicans must expel matt gaetz for this move and said this. >> 4%, 4% decided they were so morally superior, so intellectually pure, so patriotically better, that they would side with the democrats. we ought to be focusing on biden and the economy and focusing on the border. instead you will get a week or ten days of the media focusing on republican disarray. a handful of ego sent rick

people who think they are superior to 96% of the conference. >> harris: a couple of headlines. the "new york post" editorial board. matt gaetz burns down the republican house. "wall street journal" editorial board, republicans cut off their own heads. a gang of eight ousts a speaker with no plan in mind. your reaction and a quick follow that i will have. >> i think that's the party talking there. let's ask newt gingrich. when did you lead a coup? when was the last time we had a balanced budget. he was the speaker. he should remember that. what has happened over the last 25 years, 130 continuing resolutions, massive debt and structural deficit. three times in the last 25 years where they did a continuing resolution for the entire year, harris. i can tell you what, when you pass out bills and you say we fixed the border but you have

done nothing to leverage this administration to get the border secure, then you have failed. and in my humble opinion the speaker basically killed us on the debt ceiling deal. we don't have a debt ceiling in place until january of 2025. all of these things were what he did. to say that people should be expelled for following the rules, nothing that was done was not consistent with the rules that were put in place and voted by republicans in january of this year. >> harris: quickly yes or no. former president trump going into the courthouse today here in new york city was asked if it were him, what would he do? he says he has been getting calls. i simply wants to help you all get through the process. your take real quick. >> i have think that's right. he wants to get through the process. i think he is still the leader of the republican party and will

likely be the republican nominee. so we want to work with him but also want to work with our colleagues. i want to work with my colleagues here. >> harris: representative biggs. thank you for being in "focus." appreciate your time. >> thank you, harris. >> harris: illegal immigrants at the southern border seeing a democrat messenger telling them not to come, specifically don't go to new york city. it's the same story in chicago. people are angry and more democrats are starting to turn on president biden over all of it. plus republican presidential candidate tim scott enraging liberals when he said this. >> what was hard to survive was johnson's great society where they decided to put money -- where they decided to take the black father out of the household to get a check in the mail. >> harris: there is a major debate going on over government hand-outs. senator scott in "focus" next.

>> harris: fox news alert. healthcare workers going on strike across the nation now. just the last hour it's the largest walk out in the industry's history. more than 75,000 walking off the job in several states. these are live video that you see from los angeles. ka kaiser -- a coalition of farm unions saying negligent options are stalled on a number of issues including pay, outsourcing and medical plans for retirees. we'll stay on the breaking news

and bring you any developments. >> black families survived slavery and poll taxes and literacy tests. we survived discrimination. what was hard to describe is johnson's great society where they decide to put money -- where they decided to take the black father out of the house to get a check in the mail. you can measure it in devastation. >> harris: he sparked debate over government hand-outs and the great society program. liberals are raging over it. one of them. nikole hannah-jones, she posted the second middle passage alone broke up about 1/3 of black marriages but yes, anti-poverty programs are the problem. she also added just to be

absolutely crystal clear, nothing black people have experienced in this country is worse than slavery and a lot of black folks died for lack of healthcare and still do. that's all from her. a "wall street journal" columnist laid out the controversy this way. a black republican speaks the truth and he is quickly told to shut up and sit down. south carolina senator, republican presidential candidate tim scott won't do either, i can tell you that. so why are liberals so upset over what you said? >> the truth will set you free, john 8:32 reminds us the truth will set you free. the radical left and liberals will do anything to hold onto their power to include using race and class as a weapon to divide the american people. to hold onto their political power, even at the expense of all of us. one of the challenges when you look back at the statistics. in the 1960s, over 70% of

african-american kids were growing up with two parents in the household. today 70% or more are growing up with only a single parent in the household. i have to tell you, harris, as a kid who grew up in poverty in a single parent household it is devastating that crime, unemployment and fatherlessness has on a community and specifically on the children in that community. we should all stand up and take a look. the black family without any question did survive slavery. it was without question the most devastating event in the american history. however, the black family coming into the 1950s, we were still together. if you think about that fact and then you fast forward post the great society, what changed? socialism was introduced into black communities and the devastation of socialism is now

going to threaten the entire country. what starts economically in the african-american community is spreading like a cancer because joe biden believes that socialism, that power and control is the path forward. that is a lie from the pit of hell and the devastation is reverberating throughout our community and we must stand and tell the truth. the strongest unit in the country is the family. let's focus on restoring common sense to the conversation about how to move the nation forward not just in politics, but as a country. as an american family. >> harris: for this particular president and for liberals maybe across the board, i haven't met every one of them, but nobody seems to be arguing about the fact that what you are saying points to their policies not benefiting blacks at a time when the percentages of blacks who

have been supporting the current president is falling away percentage-wise precipitously. it is a battle and having you tell the truth like that is complicating for them. just an example of them, maybe, maybe they don't to have anything to do with this guy. jamal bowman. we didn't know who he was two weeks ago. he pulled the fire alarm. he called you out. your comments for what you said in the debate. he said you said that america is not a racist country. bowman told the outlet that was tim scott completely pandering to the conservative black audience to position himself to be donald trump's v.p. choice. that was him pandering to a section of the black community, a slur that you see there, i would prefer not to say it. but that's what he thinks of the rest of us and what he thinks of you. >> absolutely. he is an idiot but he is

malicious. one of the things that they are willing to do pulling a fire alarm is just a childish stunt that shouldn't be in the hands of a congress member of the united states house of representatives. but instead he uses race as a shield against his own failures. the challenge that we see across this country. think about this. kids in inner city chicago seeing thousands of people shot over the last 12 months. $30,000 per student for education and yet the vast majority of the kids are not at grade level. you have unions standing in the door house blocking poor kids into failing schools, crime devastating the neighborhoods, incarceration rates incredibly high and they want to point the finger at me.

when they have full control of the governments in the largest cities in this country with the devastation for black people is the highest. not to have a conversation about black lives matter in the middle of our -- >> harris: oh oh. someone wants you and i'm going to let you go. it has been a fantastic conversation about a whole lot of things that have to do with black communities plural and people of color and in poverty. we'll bring you back. thank you, so good to see you. the biden administration's war on your home appliances continues what they have added to the list. and how republicans are trying to stop it all. look at. that's like everything in your kitchen and your house. plus henry cuellar opens up about being carjacked at gun pointless than a mile from the capitol building. >> i don't care who it is. people if they break the law, if

they threaten somebody, carjack somebody, depending on the crime you throw the key away. >> harris: even after that incident washington, d.c.'s mayor says she sees positive crime trends. seriously delusional. we ran the number. stay close.

>> harris: a democrat consistently talking about how bad defunding the police was. he was carjacked at gun point by three people wearing masks. near the capitol on monday night. police have not made any arrests yet. yesterday on "focus", republican congressman tony gonzalez told me this. >> what it boils down to is we have to enforce the laws. we have to make examples out of criminals and we have to show to the world not only in washington but throughout the country that the lawlessness is going to stop. we have had enough. talk is cheap. it is all about actions. >> harris: washington, d.c. mayor bowser responding to cuellar's carjacking with this. although we are seeing some positive trends in recent crime statistics, we are troubled when any individual is in a situation that makes them feel unsafe in our city. he was at gun point.

it is more about getting hit than feeling unsafe. what is she even talking about? the numbers don't lie. so far this year homicides are up by 38%. robberies up significantly. motor vehicle theft is up 106%. overall crime surged by 25%. our own peter doocy pressing the white house spokesperson. >> how are you going to blame republicans for this? isn't d.c. run by a bunch of democrats? >> the president has been very straight forward about what he has done to make sure that communities are safe. >> if president biden's policies are helping bring crime down would he be comfortable somebody borrowing his corvette and parking it overnight in d.c.? >> i won't get into hip that calls. >> harris: this speaks volumes about the crime crisis there. you may remember activists painted defund the police on city streets near a black lives matter sign.

look at the size of that. let's bring in go pack chairman david avella and leslie marshall. great to see you both. this is a dangerous issue to get wrong. when you hear a mayor sounding like early eric adams, a perception of crime feeling unsafe. what is your response, david? >> the chairman of protecting americans project, who is also the attorney general of virginia, makes the point that it is all these bad crime ideas that were tried in the 1970s. everything from no-cash bail to reducing sentences to not fully funding police forces, to not actually putting criminals behind bars. we tried it all in the 1970s. now we're seeing the reality of what happens when you pursue these policies. you even now have in l.a. county cities pushing back against the county on their no cash bail policy. the only way we'll be able to

not raise a number of criminals on the street and lower the number of victims in this country is you have to put criminals in jail and you have to give police the resources to be able to do that. >> harris: an insight into why dc crime crisis might be spiraling out of control. according to the report by the u.s. attorney's office that tries both federal and local cases in our nation's capital, 67% of those arrested were not prosecuted including 52% of felony arrests, 72% of misdemeanors. how do you win the war on crime when you put down all your weapons? >> i'm very conservative on crime. i am with the top democrats and most democratic voters who thought defund the police was not only a bad slogan but a very bad idea. it is not just about money and

writing checks. we see that. in 2020 d.c. voted to defund the police and had property crimes and homicides decrease for two years. in august a huge uptick this summer and we see it has reversed. you are correct about the mayor not being up to date with her numbers. it is more than just police and after the fact. you have to have things that address preventative measures whether education, lack of education and crime direct correlation. housing costs, jobs, the list goes on. this is not just about writing a check. david, he knows this, another problem on the other end is even if you arrest all these people, there just is not the resource, not the space, not the time to prosecute all of these people. >> harris: you know what? you ought to go for that and see how true that is. let's arrest all the people that are suspects and see if the d.a.s can toughen their spines

to put them behind bars. you can be 100% wrong and it endangers people. >> you can see it in the happening in stores across the country. when people know there are no consequences you will see more of it. not only who you are really hurting are the employees that work in those stores when they get shut down and they lose their job because the company decides they don't want to continue to have all their product stolen so they can't be there for their customers. this is absurd to somehow not say the criminals are at fault here. somehow that it is the sentences that leslie's party and the prosecutors who won't enforce the laws. their policies say let's not fully give people sentences and put them in jail when they do wrong. it is absurd to say it is ary source problem. the laws her party are putting in place are causing these issues. >> harris: you hit the nail on the head, leslie.

it is more than money but it can't be anybody's fault except for the criminals that they go and commit crimes because they don't like their housing situation. i don't like it for many people in this country but not everybody who is poor commits crime. i don't know that particular example is really relevant in this. the why can't be the excuse for hurting other people. good to see you. >> i agree with you 100%. criminals are to blame. the reality and david knows it better than me -- when police arrest somebody and you prosecute them but you don't have room to put them in a prison. >> harris: we're making room for 7 to 8 million people coming across the border. we have someplace to put those people in our society that want to kill us. we can adjudicate those cases and find places for them. we can. because we have a lot of room. i have to run. good to see you both. thank you. former president trump in court

120,000 migrants this year with hundreds arriving on a daily basis. after mexico he is to ecuador and traveling to columbia and make his way to the darian gap. it is at this crucial and often dangerous section of the route where mayor adams will try to speak directly to migrants to educate them about how they are building misled what is waiting for them when they arrive stateside. >> there is a body of people who are there giving them false hopes and promises. we want to give people a true picture of what is here. we are going to tell them that coming to new york doesn't mean you are going to stay in a five star hotel. it doesn't mean that you come here you automatically will be allowed to work. >> we're learning today about a new mexican government initiative that is likely going to complicate the migrant crisis here in the u.s. authorities there have begun busing migrants from the southern part of mexico north

towards the u.s. this is an attempt by mexico to free up existing public transportation that's currently being overwhelmed by the estimated 6,000 who cross into mexico each day. so far, harris, no word from the white house but this is certainly a topic that secretary of state antony blinken could bring up to his counterparts in mexico as he travels there today also. >> harris: tomi lahren joins me now. you hear jeff paul's reporting that mexico is trying to free up spaces on its public buses. i guess we have to pay the penalty for that for taking more people. >> yeah, this is why this is so frustrating. again and again we hear the biden administration saying congress needs to fix it. it's the biden administration that broke this system. it has been broken for a long time. we did not see these numbers during the trump administration. i was there and saw with my own

eyes. this administration could do something. they choose not to do anything and putting it on congress because it's easier to pass the blame than to take accountability. same song and dance with many things regarding this administration. mexico was cooperating during the trump administration because donald trump threatened tariffs on mexico if they didn't. i saw it with my own eyes the mexican military played a role in preventing these people coming through mexico and coming into the united states. mexico can be a partner here and you have to have an administration and president that's willing to play hardball because a lot of this could be solved if mexico did their part. it is great to have mayor adams in mexico city and great to have the communication of don't come to new york, but that is not solving the problem. it's the mexican government who won't do their part and help out as they should. >> harris: i don't know how great it is to have eric adams talk about how bad he thinks ours is doing. solve some of the problems in his own city.

by the way, my previous guest andy biggs and representative chip roy have been on this program touting those things that we could be doing that the white house could be doing that you just mentioned. there is change afoot on capitol hill. let's see if that's part of that change. 800 people poured into new york city in a single day in the past week. the number is double what it usually is. officials now are scrambling to open more shelters but there is already a problem at the ones where there are too many people there. it is overflowing. footage shows the tent shelter on randall ails island in new york city is leaking after all that rainfall from hurricane lee recently. sources are telling the post the city has also hired ex-nypd officers and firefighters around the clock as fire wardens at some emergency illegal immigrant centers because of fears the sites could be fire traps. chicago residents are fuming at

a community meeting last night over how the city is handling the overflow of migrants in their city. watch. >> you work for us. you work for us. you work for us. >> we are a community of black people where we already get the low scraps and now you want the little scraps we have and put us at the bottom of the barrel? i won't have it. i mayor johnson to understand you are selling us out for people who can't vote for you. >> harris: you have to vote those people out. the chant was you work for us. that's like the next thing is make america great again. you do work for those people but you are not making them great. >> harris, this is my concern, though, especially when we talk about chicago. they had an opportunity when they got rid of mayor lori lightfoot. what did they do?

put someone in that was more extreme than mayor lori lightfoot. i don't have confidence the communities will change their vote. will it change their mind? i'm not sure. i would like to say i have optimism but i don't necessarily have that. i will also say when you have the crisis in new york city, i come to new york city a lot and see you guys on friday. i notice the people loitering in the streets aimlessly have nowhere to go and nothing to do. this will be a big problem when these people start getting desperate and it starts getting cold. what will they do? my fear they turn to crime and already established gangs in new york city. it will get so much worse before it gets better. >> harris: tomi lahren spitting the truth. it is so truth. thank you for being in "focus."
