electric school buses every year and the governor added at the ribbon cutting in 2023 that this would create about 1400 jobs. but now like you mentioned, half of its workforce in the u.s. and canada will face temporary layoffs. average electric school bus costs double the price of a traditional bus and so far the epa has a warded $3 billion in grants and rebates to school districts. that amount can buy 8500 buses, right now there aren't that many in service. dana. >> dana: thank you so much. kelly. that's unfortunate news for those people there. before we go, there is perino on politics podcast you don't want to miss. colin reed talking about democrats and transitions and all the things that can happen on day one or not. what to expect on day one. "the faulkner focus" is next, here she is. >> harris: we begin with this fox news alert. 26 years old and suspected of

assassinating the united healthcare ceo brian thompson. that suspect is sitting in a pennsylvania jail right now waiting for his extradition to new york on murder charges. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." mangione, luigi mangione is facing several charges in both new york and pennsylvania now. they include second degree murder, possession of a loaded firearm, and forgery. pennsylvania police describe the encounter with the suspect this way, watch. >> the officer quickly recognized the male as the suspect from the shooting. he had asked the suspect if he had been in new york city recently. and that really invoked a physical reaction from the suspect. the suspect didn't have to say a lot after that question to show that he was very nervous at that point. >> harris: police found a three-page manifesto on the suspect when they arrested him.

there were no specific threats but one passage reportedly reads, these parasites had it coming. and i do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done. his grand parents founded a nursing home and assistant living company where he worked or volunteered while in high school. that's the medical perhaps connection with the man you see on your screen now. we don't know technically how that plays a role but we do know that about him. that maybe 15 years old he was volunteering at a healthcare facility owned by his family and saw a lot behind is scenes. bryan llenas is in altoona, pennsylvania just east of pittsburgh with more. >> harris, good morning. at this hour we're now getting our first look inside of the now

famous altoona, pennsylvania mcdonalds behind me. the first images of luigi mangione on that morning, yesterday, eating a hash brown in the back of the restaurant. you can see him there without his blue mask. we also have a photo in which you can see him with his blue medical mask on. eyewitness named larry was inside that mcdonalds having a coffee with a friend yesterday and when mangione walked in he says his buddy said hey, that looks like the guy from new york. he recognized mangione's jacket and backpack. larry said employees at this mcdonalds thought the same thing. >> i think the one worker that actually thought it was him, she said between his eyes and eyebrows she said when i took his order it was like she had in her mind oh my god, it's the guy from new york. >> police say a customer spotted

mangione, recognized him, alerted an employee who called 911 when rookie altoona police officer, six months on the job named tyler frye, arrived at mcdonalds. when officer frye asked him if he had been in new york recently mangione became quiet and start evidence to shake. >> he was wearing a blue medical mask. as soon as we pulled that down we asked him to pull it down, me and my partner recognized him immediately from what we saw in the media with photos, videos, we just didn't even think twice about it. we knew that was our guy. he was very cooperative with us. >> mangione then gave police this fake i.d. the same new jersey fake i.d. used by brian thompson's shooter. mangione's photo but a different now. mangione told police he lied

about his name and said he clearly shouldn't have. he had a gun, silencer, u.s. passport and a book bag capable of blocking electronic signals and a handwritten document manifesto. he was arraigned in blair county, pennsylvania criminal court on five charges unrelated to thompson's murder in new york. including possession of an unlicensed firearm. last night he told the court he had no idea where the money came from suggesting it could have been planted an the bag was simply waterproof. this is a look at the correctional facility where he is being held and since charged in new york city with brian thompson's murder as well as four other counts and now we wait to see when he will be extradited to new york city to face those charges. that could take up to 45 days if

he decides to contest that. we're told he does not have a lawyer and we're also told by police, harris, not only is officer frye and the police department now receiving threats, but so, too, is this now-famous altoona mcdonalds. >> harris: no attorney. his family is loaded. a lot of questions about what goes on behind the scenes in putting that legal package together. we'll be watching it. thank you, 45 days would be a long time to sit there and not come to justice in new york. kerri urbahn, fox news legal expert and bobby chicone. if he contestesque extradited. he doesn't have an attorney. 45 days before he would see the beginning of a legal process here? >> i don't think there will be an issue ultimately in getting him back to new york. governor hochul will work with

governor shapiro if he thought that. a public defender will be assigned if he continues to languish without an attorney. >> are you surprised by that? >> i am given the fact he comes from a lot of money. i am very surprised about the fact that his family hasn't gotten him a laurwyer yet. if he didn't have one there would be a public defender. i don't think there will be an issue getting him back to new york where he will see justice. >> harris: this man's face was everywhere. he was taking his mask down to flirt with a woman at a cafe or store in new york. he was all over the cameras that are -- not during his getaway in central park. that place is basically dark with cameras, just a few. they have drone coverage. my question for you is why did

we see him everywhere. the whole country was alerted with this. social media is alive with him over the last seven days. >> he was hiding himself acting as a hermit almost. my bigger question why didn't we hear from his family and friends, the people that knew him and saw his face on the news? we're hearing between six months and a year ago he went off the grid. that's more reason if a friend or family member saw him on the news saying that's my cousin or that's my frat brother that went off the grid six months ago. now i know where he is and called the police. why did it take someone at the mcdonalds to notice him? he didn't hide himself. an ivy league frat boys. where were the people in miss life that knew him when his picture was global, why didn't anybody pick up the phone and

call and say i think that's the guy. >> harris: or anybody. he was all over the place. you say he was a hermit. in new york there is a lot of footage of him. he was moving around, leaving evidence and little bullet casings left behind by him with words written on them. little clues. we don't know if it was a game. there was a lot there. i want to move to another huge story that affects millions of people because if someone can't come to your rescue in a desperate situation because others are feeling threatened, if there can't be an american hero to save the day, we're in a world of hurt. now we don't have to worry about that in the case of daniel penny. new york and beyond has been divided after a jury acquitted marine veteran penny in the death of jordan neely. he was that erratic person i was just describing. they were all aboard a subway underground with passengers who were panicking. penny's lawyers right after the verdict.

let's watch. >> daniel, can you tell me how you are feeling about this right now? tell me how you are feeling? >> he is feeling great, guys. a great day. just a great day. >> harris: there have been calls for the manhattan district attorney, alvin bragg, soft on crime and ran on the words i'm going to get trump and so did the state's attorney general. a thirst on that side of the equation in the law and it is very much liberal. here were his words yesterday. calls for him to resign. he lost this case after making a lot of hay about it and bringing it in the first place. quote, as if every case we followed the facts and evidence from beginning to end. the jury has spoken now and we deeply respect the jury process and we respect their verdict. he needed to come out ahead of all the protesting yesterday and say a few words like that and call for them to stay peaceful. he still needs to do that. because not everybody respects the court's decision. the jury's decision.

protestors outside the courthouse yesterday could be heard inside the courthouse and before the decision came down, i was asking how does that affect the case? how long has that been going on? new york's black lives matter leader with a threat. >> stop begging the system to justify lies. stop begging this system for justice. when things happen to you, you step up and defend yourself. just like everybody else seeks justice on their own and everybody else has -- we need some black vigilantes. people want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud? how about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us. >> harris: jordan neely was threatening passengers aboard

that subway. his words were someone is going to die today. a very different reaction for many who are angry that the charges were brought in the first place. a lot of columns and opinion pieces being written. here is a small sample. stop electing soft on crime radicals like alvin bragg. another daniel penny's innocence and the shame of alvin bragg. fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett writes bragg has done lasting damage. another here daniel penny may have been acquitted but the bad guys still won. the "new york post" cover, enough is enough. jurors reject bragg's indictment of a man who protected subway riders. kerri, i come to you on the legality of some of what was said yesterday. that was a small little clip from that man calling for black vigilantes. there were also threats from a

blm leader, i guess is what you would call her yesterday. a lot of news conferences to burn stuff down in the city, to burn cars. those are threats. those are promises of violence. alvin bragg should be busy today on that. >> it doesn't come as a surprise that blm said what they said. they are a discredited and disgraced organization that is driven by racism and bullying and, you know, we never see them showing up in chicago with all of the gang warfare going on there when you have all kinds of -- african-american people dying all the time thanks to gang violence and the like. where are they then? not there. harris, if i were advising the department of justice as far as day one actions with respect to these soft on crime prosecutors with alvin bragg being at the top, here is something very specific and practical they can do. they need to take a look at the office of justice programs which is within the department of

justice. o.j. p., the name of the division, they give out over $3 billion a year to cities across america to help with their law enforcement activities. if i were d.o.j. on day one i would get a list of all of the grants that have been given out and match it up against cities that are being run to the ground by these progressive prosecutors and say you know what? you aren't getting the millions of dollars from us because you aren't doing your job. not enforcing the law. downgrading felonies to misdemeanor, alvin bragg has done that over and over again. you prioritize political persecutions and prosecutions over actually keeping people safe and enough. >> harris: bobby, from what you are seeing here from an f.b.i. perspective, i am curious with threats on the ground, is the f.b.i. working some of this now? we hope it goes away. we don't want to make it bigger but we have to cover the fact there are threats out there based on race and coming from a group that calls for black

vigilantes against people who aren't black. >> i would think this is inciting violence and a crime in and of itself. you are right. hopefully, i worked the new york office of the f.b.i. for many years and i hope that they are following this situation because these are people that are out there breaking the law by inciting the violence. it doesn't have to occur thankful lily for that to be a crime and they should be charged. if alvin bragg was a responsible prosecutor he would be charging these people or threatening to charge them. it is time to get rid of the immunity for prosecutors. the left talks about getting rid of qualified immunity to police officer. you want to stop them and make them think about it before they bring a prosecution, you open them up to civil liability. when i was an f.b.i. agent i car eft $2 million worth of liability insurance in case somebody sued me. it is time for prosecutors to face the same types of penalties. the bar association won't do it. it is run by the left and they won't call these people to account. i think a civil liability on the

part of prosecutors who abuse their office, it is time for that to happen. >> harris: bobby and kerry, i say every day i learn something new every day. you are hitting it from the funding and money and let's make it fair and make the political-leaning prosecutors basically pay like a doctor has to have mal practice. great to see you both. thank you for all the information. well, fox news will get the first televised sit-down with daniel penny. judge janine pirro will be here for the newly acquitted daniel penny with an exclusive interview on fox nation. you can watch some of what we're calling a first look clip on "the five" later today. 5:00 p.m. eastern and the entire interview will be on fox nation tomorrow morning. don't miss any of it. if you do not -- i love the brag

about fox nation, get the app and subscribe and watch whatever you would like. the stunning fall of the brutal assad regime in syria. israel is now striking from the air looking to destroy possible chemical weapons stockpiles. you remember now incoming again president trump went after them when they used chemical weapons on their people. so this is what's happening now. they are going to hit stockpiles of weapons. the new government beginning to take shape in the capital city of syria. plus a house hearing today looks into those drones flying all over one state's airspace that they have to close down segments. now some of that airspace includes where trump lives when he is in new jersey. the national security concerns are real. >> i'm not okay with having unknown objects, drones or otherwise flying over the united states, fly over critical infrastructure and military

bases or over any area that are not approved. we need to have an appropriate answer for that. >> harris: steve hilton in "focus" next. veteran homeowners, car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans.

>> harris: the impact of the stunning collapse of syria's assad regime is shaking the world now. i'm asking what will it mean for america and our allies? israel has launched a heavy strike across syria to destroy as much military equipment as possible before extremists can get their hands on it. it sounds like afghanistan and what biden left behind. crazy. the rebels who now control syria are led by a group known as hts with ties to al qaeda. the u.s. is reportedly weighing

whether to keep that group's terror designation in place. i mention again they are tied to al qaeda. okay. national security advisor jake sullivan with more on america's role. >> we were not directly involved offensive in brought the rebels to power . we were not directing it or part of it but we have been part of a broader effort in the region and around the world to weaken assad's backers, russia is weaker, iran is weaker, hezbollah is weaker. >> harris: president biden met with king jordan yesterday emphasizing support for quote, syrian-led transition process, end quote. on sunday biden took credit for assad's fall. >> president biden: this is a direct result of the blows that ukraine, israel have delivered upon their own self-defense with unflagging support of the united states. our approach has shifted the balance of power in the middle east. for this combination of support for our partners, sanctions, and

diplomacy and targeted military force when necessary we now see new opportunities opening up for the people of syria and for the entire region. >> harris: the "wall street journal" editorial board with the headline biden takes an undeserved syria victory lap. in "focus" now steve hilton, fox news contributor, hts, are they friend or foe? i already know the answer but i want your take because other countries are looking at this, too? >> exactly. you have the u.k. and the new government there saying they are evaluating as we are whether to remove them from the terror watch list. in this region you have to be incredibly careful ajumping onto things in an opportunistic way that seem as if they will help you but in the end could do the exact opposite. look how we made mistakes in the 80s and 90s where in order to punch the soviet union in the eye we ended up building up the

taliban. that led to al qaeda. so much opportunity for getting it wrong and why president trump is so right to say don't rush in. don't get involved. don't start picking sides. you have to be really careful. israel is doing such a fantastic job defending its interests and in a way acting on our behalf in terms of the global interest in not allowing this region to descend into total chaos with weapons falling around all over the place. a big mistake to say they got rid of assad and they're our friend. that is not right at all. >> harris: i am concerned about the christians on the ground in syria. we are hearing reports that -- there are a muslim group aligned with al qaeda. they'll do what they do. i don't know why they would think they're our friends. we don't vet people at the border so, you know, but this only is an hour show. what i am concerned about is the fact it's 10% christian in syria.

how will those people be treated? and you can't trust everything you see on social media but when people are telling you that christians are in danger and they have the proof of that, i don't think we turn a blind eye to that. i don't know if this particular white house will listen to that. the next one will. >> exactly. that's why in the end the correct strategy is focus on what is in our interest. it is always true that what is in our interest is to be strong and to make sure that everyone understands that you do not mess with america and in respect of the christians there, i totally agree. again look what has happened over the years. the persecution, execution. it has been completely appalling. so the idea we are going to say great, these guys are the good guys because they got rid of a bad guy. you can have bad guys also getting rid of bad guys and it is a mess over there and we need to be incredibly cautious. >> harris: the u.s. house is set

to hold a hearing on security fears over drones that people are seeing over the skies of new jersey. we've been seeing this for really many weeks and when i say we, i mean our state. i haven't personally seen them but i know they are a problem. we have get ready to fly an faa is closing down sections of airspace. you are aware of it if you travel allot. the governor murphy he is talking with the white house and security. he called a meeting with state legislators and security and he had to. a lot of pressure on him. people across the state are seeing the drones for more than three weeks now near a military base and trump national golf course. people in new york city, staten island, reported seeing them now, too. new jersey's governor phil murphy from today. >> these are apparently, as i understand it. very sophisticated. the minute you get eyes on them

they go dark. and we're obviously most concerned about sensitive targets and sensitive critical infrastructure. we have military assets, we've got utility assets, we've got the president-elect's one of his homes here. >> harris: that was monday, yesterday. a lot has happened since then. you get up in the morning and people see them overnight. the push is on. why are we even tolerating this? this is like when china flew the space balloon and the white house knew for days. >> 100%. they may be sophisticated. the drones. our response, our government's response is not sophisticated. we are told we have the most amazing military and spying operations and all the rest that our money goes into. why does it take three weeks to figure out something like this and just now they're saying we must get to the bottom of it?

what have they been doing all this time? another example of the lamentable performance of this administration. they should be leading this but they aren't. they are sitting around seeming to do nothing. >> harris: joe biden is not the only one shuffling. goodness gracious, how long does it take? i had a military colonel on with me yesterday who said this is national security. we need to know what's in our skies. we know we are not vetting people across the border. what if they get their hands on drones. they are easy to buy. those who are criminals among them. unbelievable. steve, always great to have you to give us perspective. thank you. >> thank you. >> harris: the manhunt for the suspect in the killing of united healthcare ceo brian thompson has ended for now. they believe they got the guy. this is the suspect. we're learning a lot about his background. a lot of money. they even owned at one point a series of healthcare nursing homes, his family.

plus a new reason for democrats to be angry at president joe biden. first they said he took too long to drop out of the election. now they say he is forfeiting what's left of his term. you're the first to know when high rate debt is stressing your budget. but your family's service has earned you a big advantage. the va home loan benefit. with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan, you can pay off high rate credit cards and car loans. that's real money you can use to take care of your family and home.

>> harris: fox news alert. we're getting new information on the 26-year-old charged with assassinating united healthcare ceo brian thompson. he is from a prominent family in the baltimore area. he was valedictorian of his high school class. he earned a bachelors and masters for engineering at the university of pennsylvania. an ivy league school. his most recent address known to be in hawaii. honolulu. he had writings critical of the healthcare system.

alexis mcadams with more on this. they have a nursing home type of situation like the city md, equivalent to that and volunteered when he was 15. i was reading about that. people who wonder what are his ties to healthcare, maybe it's that. >> you have to look back at his history. you look at his volunteer work at a local nursing home there that his family might have owned in that area in maryland. but also according to different reports he had recently had a surgery and was in severe pain according to the documents he wrote up slamming the healthcare insurance industry. that's what cops are looking at now. luigi mangione is facing murder charges as we are piecing together a timeline. the 26-year-old handcuffed and booked at a pennsylvania police department. this is some of that video. you can wait and see him get out of the car and this is his photo they took right after they got him into the pennsylvania police department. investigators telling me he used a gun made on a 3d printer to

shoot and kill a united healthcare ceo and had weapons on him. one weapon on him at the time he was arrested in pennsylvania. the question is, harris, is it the 3d printed gun used in the murder or another gun? waiting to figure that out. he might have printed multiple according to investigators. mangione had a backpack with him at the time of the arrest at the mcdonalds and a handwritten note that explained possibly a motive talking all about how he had been in that back pain and slamming the insurance industry specifically talking about united healthcare. he said i state plainly i wasn't working with anyone. i do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. these parasites simply had it coming. investigators talked about that motive. >> i had the opportunity to read the manifesto. it is handwritten. he does make some indication that he is frustrated with the healthcare system in the united states, specifically he states

how we're the number one most expensive healthcare system in the world. >> investigators are working the leads. we could get more today. >> harris: president biden is taking his last few weeks in office for a victory lap. he is set to push a legacy-based focus on his bidenomics policies. the ones voters overwhelmingly rejected just a few weeks ago. he is set to speak about that in the next hour. the white house press secretary karine jean-pierre offered a preview. >> over the last four years the president has rejected trickle down economics and written a new economic playbook that builds the economy from the middle out and bottom up, not the top down. this is a strong foundation for years to come. >> harris: the white house chief of staff sent out a memo yesterday outlining the president's priorities and his

final 41 days which includes more student debt cancellations, prescription drug cap and gaza cease-fire deal. despite that democrats are frustrated with biden. one former white house official has told "politico", quote, he has been so cavalier and selfish how he approaches the final weeks of the job, end quote. progressive group spokesperson told the "wall street journal" this is one of the lameest of lame ducks we've seen with a democratic administration. power panel. yvette cook, attorney and ceo of american front ear strategies. david car lucky. former new york state senator. legacy, is that really at play here? have you seen what's happening in the middle east? can we hear actually on some strategy from biden other than a victory lap? >> there is so much going on. >> harris: he is president. >> the lameest of lame would be to prioritize public appearances

over political promises. and that's what joe biden is doing. he is putting his head down, being cautious and careful with this extremely volatile climate we have, the middle east, ukraine >> harris: who is asking him for more public appearances? what are you talking about? >> the unnamed source, that he has to be out there fighting donald trump at every turn of the way. >> harris: he fell asleep in front of our leaders recently. he went to angola instead of answering right after he handed out that presidential pardon to his son hunter. he goes there and falls asleep on the heels of walking in the jungle away from our allies in a huge group photos. there are a lot of -- those are not photo ops. those are relationships with people in the world that we are going to need. >> absolutely. joe biden is trying to do what he can in these next 41 days going to africa, making this trip to angola, which is a historic trip for our

relationship. >> harris: they need us before we need them right now. >> there was just a few mentioned. a lot more. trying to expedite the work he did through the inflation reduction act. >> harris: i couldn't give you a pass on photo ops. they want leadership. >> we do need leadership today. david, i have to agree strongly. we aren't asking for photo ops. biden is giving a wish list about more green energy hand-outs, electric vehicles that are going to help the rich. what we're saying if you do anything in the next 41 days, secure that border, sign an executive order today to stop more illegal immigrants from coming into our country. the other thing i have to talk about is yes, if you want to dole out money let's start with the intel money. ohio has been waiting. we could lead to be the semi conductor in the world. china has been overly relied on and this administration and so many others, where is the $8 million. the department of commerce continuing to push regulations rather than getting out of our way. we don't want anymore student

loan forgiveness. the supreme court has slapped biden down on this and continuing to push this aggressive agenda we don't know. america people said enough is enough. >> harris: let me come back with you for a moment. our leaders around the world, this is part of the problem with the democrats in your party who are angry with him over this, our leaders through our own reporting at fox news is trump is the defacto president. that's not just a bad look for biden. he is done. >> he is done. the fact that harris tried to run for president and lost and then went to hawaii, they basically washed their hands of the american people. president trump has stepped in. he has met with trudeau. we have the mexican president saying she is going to negotiate. he have is over in paris right now talking to the paris president -- president of france. president trump has continued to show he is presidential before he gets into office, harris, i

expect our border will be secure between canada and mexico, i expect world leaders are going to be saying yes, we may need aid in ukraine but that cease-fire in gaza was thank goodness to president trump. the fact that he won has secured world peace and he will continue to propel that forward. not only in the middle east but in the united states of america and that's what we need now more than ever. >> harris: interesting. remind our viewers trump has basically given hamas an exit, just end it but also said to israel january 20th it all needs to be done. we have to get a cease-fire in there. that's what you are talking about. last quick word. >> it is a compliment to donald trump for hitting the ground running and that's what we would expect him to do. not an insult to joe biden. >> harris: he is still president. >> it is giving him the space to have a peaceful transition. i think we're looking for photo ops and sound bites. it is not about that. putting down your head and focusing on the next 41 days.

>> harris: you know what you did is shifted the ground from biden is doing everything he needs to do and skipping photo ops to he ceded the ground to the next man and sitting down. that's a truce. >> that's a positive thing. >> thank you for being here. president-elect trump's second term is taking shape as we've been talking about. here on the homeland his cabinet picks are crisscrossing capitol hill this week to make their own case to senators directly ahead of confirmation hearings. plus his incoming border czar tom homan. you have seen him on this program. tom homan is ready to do the work in the face of blue city pushback. >> i can't believe any elected official does not want to remove public safety threats from their communities. we will do it with them or without them. they will get this done. >> harris: san diego county board of supervisors set to vote hours from now on a policy which would block the use of county resources for federal

immigration enforcement. one county supervisor is fighting back, jim desmond in "focus" next. because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home■s value. if you need cash for your family call newdayusa. with automatic authority from the va we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call.

illegal immigration. a house homeland security subcommittee is looking at the threats to law enforcement stemming from open border policies. the senate judiciary committee is focusing on president-elect donald trump's mass deportation plans. one witness called by republicans patty morin said she is the mom of rachel morin, a mom of five. you remember we covered the case. that mother was raped and murdered last year. an illegal immigrant from el salvador has been charged with her killing. her mom testified at this morning's hearing. >> you should put american citizens first. we are the ones that pay your paycheck. we are the ones that pay taxes. we are the ones that believe that when you went into office you would keep your word and that you were the man or the woman for the job at the time that would uphold our values. >> harris: democratic state lawmakers are mounting a

resistance to trump's proposed policies and today the san diego county board of supervisors will vote on a measure to block police from working with federal immigration enforcement. that means that those people just get to stay here and fan out all across the country, many of them we know have criminal backgrounds. we don't do the vetting, though, we find out after they break laws here. complicated and dangerous for american citizens. resolution says the counties shall not provide assistance or cooperation to ice and its civil immigration enforcement efforts. well, that's a setup as trump is coming in. jim desmond, san diego county supervisor. great to have you today. tell me this. how bad is this to do right now, to block the help of getting people out of the country we know need to leave? >> well, this is just doubling down on the sanctuary city or in

our case sanctuary state issue here. what we're talking about is we're dealing with people that are here illegally and already been convicted of a crime and they are in our jails. what is being blocked or attempted to be blocked is right now for serious crimes, felonies, we are able to get -- contact ice and let them know this person is in our jail. they are about to get out of jail. they can come in and interview and figure out the seriousness of the crime, do a background check on them which should have been done at the border bust that will be hindered. what is being proposed we in san diego county no longer have that direct access between law enforcement and ice to come in for the criminals that are already in our jails. >> harris: is that a danger to the citizens of your county? >> absolutely. by putting in more bureaucracy to between local law enforcement, yes, absolutely. these people may never now be interviewed by ice or deported by ice and they are back in our

neighborhoods. >> harris: so is this all about trump? >> i think so. i think this is a knee jerk reaction to trump. even newsom trying to double down on trying to trump-proof the state. unfortunately my colleagues here in san diego county are trying to do the same thing. i am hoping to stop it. >> harris: what is that conversation like? your colleagues next door, you all get together. i thought it was to protect the people, national security. that's the goal. what is their goal? >> to protect the people, the illegal immigrants that are here. they say it's about breaking up families. if the people hadn't committed the crimes, we wouldn't be in this place. so it is more about criminals and making sure we deport criminals particularly for the heinous crimes. this is for felonies and other violations. use of firearms, and things like that. >> harris: in california you're surrounded by democrats. trump wants to handle this two

ways. he won't separate families. if they are all here illegally everybody goes back together. he will do the job the current secretary of dhs won't. he will find children. that's what his incoming border czar wants to do. find those missing 300,000 children. so they will be deported in some cases with family. the other thing is to make a deal on dreamers in this country. your last quick word. >> well, i wanted to mike sure we focus on the criminals. we want to make sure the criminals do not get to stay in our country if they are already in our jails. they should be deported first . we can sort out the rest later. get the criminals off our streets. >> harris: all right. supervisor desmond, great to have you. i hope you come back to "focus." thank you. >> happy to. >> harris: thank you for watching "the faulkner focus."
