i think there is some value in comparing how quickly the biden administration was able to move on their first legislative priority, to where the trump administration was on their first legislative priority, which was repealing obama care. that obviously failed. the biden priority moved quite quickly. we can talk more about why that is, but there is a sense, i think, that part of five the american rescue plan moved so quickly as it did was because biden was a driving force. there was a sense among folks on the hill that it was important to give a first legislative when , rack up something big to help the american people. with the narrowest of majority, congressional democrats had campaigned on it. over the next several months that next big legislative priorities, it's a little less clear if that will help drive agreement on the two components of the infrastructure plan, the jobs piece and then the piece to support american families. the choice about how to proceed on those other legislative items will be a bit more complicated. there's a question about how bipartisan, as measured by work

the biden administration is taking a different tack in that the resources almost are the policy. hey are getting resources into schools, but not setting up competitive grants, which was the preferred way in the obama administration. they are trying to get funds to schools. even some of the newer examples, ramping up universal pre-k or community college, those are basically proposals to get a lot of money out into the system without necessarily directing exactly how things look. i think there is a philosophical difference there and how they are thinking about things. but again, no perfect comparison. elaine: it is so interesting because of course, i was in the al gore campaign in 2000, and there were long stretches of that campaign where al gore and george w. bush acted as if they were running for school superintendents. it was just very -- i was just very cognizant of the fact they had very little control over the situation. john hudak, that is the frustration over policing as well. the presidential impact is hard to come by. let me ask you to go around very quickly before we go t

shame on the biden administration. elizabeth: all right., liz. elizabeth: sure. i'm macdonald. you've been watching "the even edit" on fox business. that does it for us. we really appreciate you watching, thank you so much. we hope you have a good evening and join us again tomorrow night. ♪ larry: hello, everyone. welcome back to "kudlow." i'm larry kudlow. so get ready, folks. uncle sam wants you. the white house and the treasury gleefully announcing today new tax enforcement plans that would double the number of irs employees and require banks, payment services and cryptocurrency exchanges to provide the government more information about account flows. get it? account flows. what does that mean in

go there to order a copy of the congressional directory for members of the congress and the biden administration cabinet. brows our newest products at c-span shop.org. >>> next, a discussion on president biden's first 100 days in office. brookings institution scholars examine the administration's achievements and challenges. this runs 90 minutes. >>> good morning, everyone. welcome to this web mar on joe biden's first 100 days. let me start by saying that the one and only reason that we mark the 100 days of a presidency is because of franklin roosevelt, president roosevelt. there's no statutory or constitutional significance. franklin roosevelt's 100 days is without equal in the 20th century. 1943 was the death of the great depression. inaugural address is responsible for the phrase "we have nothing to fear but fear itself" and less than two weeks after that, he gave the first of many fireside chats, explaining in simple terms what was happening and how he would fix it. roosevelt's mastery of rhetoric and new medium of radio were not what made him remembered for his first 100 days but bold legis

this rhetoric and then to confront our adversaries as a foreign adversary. >> so to give the biden administration a grade so also if you can show your perspective. >> he has at the 100 day mark yet. president biden said his policy would be competing with china global space it's very good to hear. to hear very good comments about the genocide that is occurring in western china. with the democracy in hong kong and then to speak with the interactions of allies those are good things but for the metric where you put your people time and money? and it said jump with the defense budget. >> that china had this year is investing six.8 percent is there budget growth previous years last for five years between seven and 8 percent annually and in 2000 double digits annually. they are at a breakneck pace to modernize the military. they want a modern military by 2049 they want world-class military with that there wages say they want to have better military presence. leadership is tough. it requires sacrifice. we cannot compete if they are investing in six.8 percent and we are investing 0 percent growth. because

and finally, i think the biden administration is more willing to talk about human rights. the trump administration was not comfortable highlighting human rights. and you can be strong and defend your values and still maintains strength. they were afraid that it would be seen as a weakness the talk about human rights. i think the biden administration understands that human rights in court democratic values have to leave these policies because it helps us lead our allies and be seen as a global leader. these defined terms of his battle because we are in a conflict between china that is both a government system competition as well as an economic system competition. and all that conversation, that is part of their larger side basically psychological operations that undermines and undercuts our system are of government as well as our economic system. at present not only to the world that their version and their model is better but also some insurgent in our domestic discourse that we have be better inoculated against that and do better on the global stage. josh: thank you so muc

will take the conversation next, we have had a few months to watch the initial steps by the biden administration, most people say we've seen a lot of continuity but at the same time the true tests between competing interests of the administration have yet to play out, they haven't really faced a tough decision. i'm wondering what each of you think about when you see how the biden administration is handling the china challenge and i would like each of you to give me a grade, abcd f, how they are handling this so far. let me start with senator sullivan. >> i've been trying to work with the biden administration on some of the issues congresswoman murphy and secretary esper raised. i think at the end of the day 11 jinping's nightmare is a long-term strong bipartisan strategy that the united states and acts and conduct said i have made it clear to the incoming biden administration that i'm willing to be a partner where i think this strategy makes sense so i would give a grade and incomplete because there's a whole host of issues that are up in the air. let me give you a couple where they've done a go

a better deal for them and a worse deal for iran. >> you were talking about the fight the biden administrationas seen through the lens of domestic politics. in your experience, how far do you think the administration will be prepared to go without jeopardizing the domestic politics element you have been talking about? >> it varies from administration to administration. i have served in several period i served in blush -- bush and clinton administrations. i have watched all of them up close. president biden is the most knowledgeable politician, in terms of the u.s. political system -- what he can get done and what he thinks he cannot. i think his point about a u.s. reluctance to lift sanctions that were redesignated or double designat under president trump is an important consideration. for president biden, it will be difficult to say he is lifting sanctions or waving sanctions or temporarily suspending sanctions on iran if they have been designated under the rubric of terrorism or human rights. that will be a difficult sell for him domestically and from what i understand, the administration is

it appears that the biden administration has -- has given life to that regime whereas trump administration crushing. i want to discuss also what took place in the middle east as you were leaving -- the president of the united states his policies resulted in peace breaking out throughout the middle east. and now i fear based on what biden administration is doing, we could have a war in the middle east. we'll be right back. (judith) in this market, you'll find fisher investments is different than other money managers. (other money manager) different how? don't you just ride the wave? (judith) no - we actively manage client portfolios based on our forward-looking views of the market. (other money manager) but you still sell investments that generate high commissions, right? (judith) no, we don't sell commission products. we're a fiduciary, obligated to act in our client's best interest. (other money manager) so when do you make more money? only when your clients make more money? (judith) yep, we do better when our clients do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. centrum multi

is there a loss of trust there that the biden administration simply won't be able to restore itself a little like the trump administration opening a pandora box where trade and terrorist used in new and innovative possibly hostile ways is there enough trust to be able to negotiate some of these really thorny trade issues that were likely to when the negotiations likely to last years potentially through 2024 and to a new administration? >> well i think you put your finger on great issue that is trust and rebuilding trust takes time, and you know we have a four-year presidential election cycle and f so -- the biden team, obviously, is working very hard to restore alliances to rebuild trust to reentry, show leadership in some key international organizations. and i think a lot of our ally and partners welcome there. but also i think in the back of their minds there's also kind of an uneasiness about where the united states might be in three and a half years. so i think i that has led a lotf our ally and partners to work on diversifying their trading partners and their economic partners so

where the biden administration has said, our resources are very limited.e have about 6000 officers in total across the country charged with carrying out their partitions and we will concentrate our resources -- out deportations and we will concentrate our resources on the serious criminals and they also say, it is not about numbers, it is about the quality of the people we are catching and deporting. and they have been criticized for that because they are allowing a lot of people with criminal convictions, may less serious criminal convictions, to sort of be free from the fear of deportation. host: broadway, virginia, democrats, good morning. caller: good morning. yes, i think we should cut off all of the border control funding there. the money they are wasting -- putting them in hotel rooms, line them all over the country, lying to the american people about it. i think you should cut up all of the funding until they straighten things out. host: how would you like it straightened out? what is straightened out in your mind? caller: put back some of the thin

policy wonder former national intelligence director john ratcliffe on the advice he gave the biden administrationn the way out and why they ignored it. in gaza, will the cease-fire hold, then breaking news across joe biden summer plan to jam through as much tax-and-spend policy as possible, arkansas tom cotton including biden's plan to give the u.s. treasury direct surveillance of the flows in your bank account. then surveillance deadly experiments from the heavy hand of communist china here is congressman devin nunes on this program last week. >> i think they're sitting on suppressing a lot of intelligence that the american people should see in order to know how to move ahead over the coming next years as china continues to gain control of the life science arena and global economy and trying to move all the technology back to china while at the same time not answering basic questions about the origin of the virus. maria: world health organization advisor on how the pandemic started and why china is trying so hard to stop the investigation as dr. fauci now says maybe covid did not develop natural

and yet that investigation was shut down by the biden administration. esident biden i believe has spoken with xi jinping a cull ce of times.na it didn't come up in with alaska meeting. your thoughts on what this is now all of a sudden biden's feeling the walls are closing in, he wants an investigation which you and your colleagues have already double is he just trying to blow this off and once again knock it back to the world health organization? >> well, he's already blown it off in number of ways, he b indicated it's not important. remember, he was uninterested in the origins of the virus but wanted to give the vacation seen of vie pfizer and moderna to china. this is an administration that has no interest in pursuing china. if thes there had been an accidental leak from a u.s. lab that resulted in any sickness whatsoever, you would have protests all around the world. it shows the fear of coming to the conclusion of what china has been doing. our intelligence community back to 2010 had been identifying concerns that china had been manipulating viruses

spending again in the biden administration.expect them to ramp up spending again in the biden administration. facebook has steadily been spending more on lobbying every quarter. they spent millions and millions. these are pretty robust efforts. and now that the biden administration is in power, we're seeing a bit of a shift towards more democrats being in top positions of power at these companies. under the trump administration, there were still some pretty powerful democrats, but there's definitely a shift into putting republicans in top positions. facebook has a new head of u.s. policy -- i'm going to go ahead and assume that's going to be a democrat. google just announced new policy had that previously worked for the obama administration. so these companies, not only do they spent a lot on lobbying through their own companies and through third-party groups that they pay to lobby for them, they also see where the puck is going . and they are going to cozy up to biden and his administration officials. so they have to do a bit

huge decision for the biden administration. obviously 180 degree u-turn from where the last administration stood but advance in terms of the united states, saying we'll lead the world on this issue. we will take responsibility for getting this done globally. if it's done right, not only lead global negotiations to get it done but lead the world to make sure there is a global response. so this thing doesn't haunt humanity, including us, for the rest of our time on the planet. only way out from covid-19 is for the whole world to get ahead of it. and only country on earth capable of leading the whole world to get ahead of it is us. that's what the biden administration is banking on being able to do, and they're banking on us the american people believing in that again. this is a really big deal. it is a decision that potentially could save tens of millions of human lives. it could make the difference as to whether or not we do ever end this pandemic or if this is it. this is a huge deal. going to have one of the world's foremost ex

that's why it's so imperative that the biden administration hold the chinese communist party accountableand answers for all of these questions. maria: and, in fact, in the final days of the trump administration former secretary of state the mike pompeo launched an inquiry into the connection between the virus and the wuhan lab, but the biden administration shut that inquiry down when it took over in january. pompeo told us about its findings just a few weeks ago on this program. >> we worked to get every bit of evidence we could. we tried to deliver this, cdc tried to work with the chinese, they covered it up terribly. every piece of evidence that we saw throughout the entire time i was there suggested that this originated at the wuhan institute of virology. i haven't seen a shred of evidence that suggests anything to the contrary. maria: since then many questions have been raised about not just the origins of the coronavirus, but the intent. one australian journalist reported that chinese military scientists discussed the weaponization of sars coronavirus five years before the covid-19

but instead of standing firm with israel, the biden administration's policy have conflict. the president showed his strength and instead is broadcasting in decisions and weakness. the democratic party refuses to say we stand with israel. the night sky over the jewish state blazes with intercepted rockets, the biden administration only offers muted callst. for restraint. where are the statements of solidarity with israel. from this administration, from thisti democratic party we can't even get the spokeswoman to say that they would help resupply. the lifesaving missile defense system so this afternoon let me provide a little clarity that the president and his party appear unwilling to articulate in tel aviv, jerusalem and the west bank and much less than the israeli people. they are not morally equivalent and the enlightened circles but there are good guys and bad guys. israel seeks peace. they seek death and destruction. hamas and palestinian jihadi are not legitimate state actors. they do not truly care about them. they are terrorist organizations run by evil men who commi

what is the strategy of the media right now in response to the biden administration? ly are with presidents if you have a crisis, it's really a moment for them to shine. you think about fdr after pearl harbor, reagan after the challenger, obviously, george w. bush after 9/11. a crisis is an opportunity for a president to exercise leadership and rally the american people around the flag. but they -- he's not capable of it. this is a president who can't take questions from his allies in the media, a president who says i don't think i should be talking to you, which is what i would tell strangers when they call our house when i was a child and my parents weren't home. the media is just pretending nothing's happening because they know he can't handle it. brian: adam, you can pick your issue here whether it's russia, whether it's gas, the southern border, pick your issue, do your case study. it feels like the media response is 180 degrees different from what it would have been this time last year. >> and it's not just this time last year. you think about how they handled ri

is there a loss of trust there that the biden administration simply won't be able to restore? i felt a little like the trump administration was opening a pandora'ss box were trade and tariffs are being used in new and innovative potentially hostile ways. is there enough trust to be able to negotiate some of these really thorny trade issues that are likely when negotiations are likely to last years through 2024 administration.4, >> i think you put your finger on a great issue. that is trust rebuilding trust takes time we have a four year presidential election cycle. and so the biden team obviously is working very hard to restore and rebuild trust to reenter a and show leadership in some key international organizations. i think a lot of our allies and partners would welcome them. but also in the back of their minds there's kind of an uneasiness about where the united states might be in three and a half years. so i l think that has led a lot of our allies and partners to really work on diversifying their trading partners and their economic partners so they are not overreliance on

the biden administration has sent thousands back to mexico. even though there are fewer families coming to the border today than there were under president trump in 2019. as a result, because by the third of all families right now being sent back to mexico, significantly fewer are being allowed to access asylum under the biden administration then were allowed to access it under the trump administration. >> [inaudible] a chart here i can also take a look at the timer. i see that my time is expiring so hopefully we will get to this in the second round of questions and we will hear from more of our witnesses. with that, i'm going to turn it over to the ranking member for his questions. >> thank you, madam chair. regarding legal immigration, legal residency and a pathway to citizenship in america, let me say the nation is a compassionate and generous country with arguably the most receptive and accessible immigration policies of any prominent sovereign nation anywhere in the world. myself and my conservative colleagues, we encourage legal immigrat

. >> did somebody at the biden administration or in the biden administration update the guidance forolitical reasons? >> know the cdc not just doctor walensky by her entire team of health and medical experts are constantly reviewing the data to ensure that they can provide accurate and up-to-date guidance. brian: let's talk with fox news contributor lara trump, it's so good to have you on this topic, thank you for being here i hate to play the cynic especially on a friday night but i'm listening to what's coming out of the white house and i'm looking in the context of border crisis, gas shortage crisis, the econome not performing the way we wanted to and it sounds a little too politically convenient for me, you take on the timing of the cdc in oxford. >> i think you're exactly right i think the timing is incredibly convenient in the world is crumbling around joe biden in the administration and we have a crisis on our southern border and people fighting to get gas in the eastern states of america we have our closest middle eastern ally being hammered by rockets it's a really convenien

let's also remember that it was planned and started under the obama administration, the obama-biden administratione trump administration we were very pleased we use sanctions, we use diplomatic leverage, president trump himself to make sure that i did not come online when it was supposed to come online. we delayed it and we were able to make sure that that wasn't coming to fruition. i'm very proud of that work. now that we have joe biden completely backing down and allowing the russians to complete the pipeline. >> jason: you wouldn't have heard that from greenpeace or these other leftist organizations that president trump was actually slowing one down and flip the switch and said go for it. what's your perspective on how joe biden is treating russia because for more than four years, all i could hear was trump, trump, trump, russia, russia, russia. it seems like the one who was coddling and taking this approach of appeasement is biden. >> as he mentioned in your opener in his first days in office, he canceled the pipeline, russian backpackers attacked our biggest pipeline in colonial after he canc

white house press secretary today blaming the media being a crisis for the administration's push to paint a picture that bidensder policy are a success now falling apart. top democrat slams the administration for touting misleading photos showing empty water facilities when next door is moved to another facility. that hits your pocket, economic security, it's you and your family tonight, louis, chad wolf, republican congressman guy russian power, port o connell, brad blakeman and republican congresswoman with us tonight, we got more, government documents coming to light. this is about again towns and cities states of the border having to deal with this, the number of criminal illegal aliens have not been deported by the biden administration, it's growing, much bigger than realized. also this, officials are pointing out facebook banning trump over supporting the capitol rise but they are letting drug and human traffickers advertise and solicit on facebook. breaking out of washington, top democrat fear the democrats now will lose control of the house and the midterms next year but this story, gop inciting, ruin

or in the biden administration update this guidance for political reasons? >> no. >> peter: but critics aren't so sure. >> this is poll-driven, look, they always say trust the science but we know what it's been. it's been trust the polls, trust the teachers unions. >> peter: and leader of up influential teachers union just recently changed her tune about reopening schools in the fall. >> we must keep them open, fully and safely five days a week. >> peter: so why did the biden administration make the big mask announcement yesterday? >> there was no scientific knowledge manifestation ha happened yesterday, when you look at the cdc website and they say what's the science behind it goes back to an april 2nd website. so there was nothing new. i think somebody had to are have the political will to say this is the right thing to do. >> peter: biden officials say they weren't involved with the cdc decision-making. >> we didn't find out at the white house until 9:00 p.m. the night before. >> peter: hours before president biden and his guests wore masks in the oval of

elizabeth: well, now is left of the states to sue the biden administration in court.with armed robbery, drug trafficking, kidnapping, homicide, arson, drunk driving or walking out of prisons instead of being turned over to ice for deportation so, how could republican support the state? is there any effort to do that? >> we can encourage the state to do on their end to enforce the laws but there's a provision in the constitution in which the united states of america, as a part of the entry of the state into the union, united states of america promises to protect each state from invasion and if the united states of america will not protect these estates from invasion i would submit that the states have the right on their own to protect themselves and say the heck with this department of homeland severity, the heck with this white house and do what they have to do with their own law enforcement capabilities to enforce immigration laws when and if the federal government will not do it and i believe they have that constitutional right from the constitution where in the uni

but instead of standing firm with israel, the biden administration's policy of endless accommodation is fanning the flames of conflict. the president should show strength. instead, he's broadcasting indecision and weakness. our greatest ally in the middle east is under attack, yet the democratic party refuses to say we stand with israel. the night sky over the jewish state blazes with the star bursts of intercepted rockets and the biden administration only offers muted calls for restraint. where are the righteous denunciations of the terrorists responsible for these repeated, premeditated, and unprovoked attacks? where are the statements of solidarity with israel? please. from this administration, from this democratic party? we can't even get the president's spokeswoman to say that the united states would help resupply munitions for iron dome, israel's lifesaving missile defense system. so this afternoon, let me provide a little clarity that the president and his party appear incapable or unwilling to articulate. the fault for the death and destruction in the streets of three, jerusa

she has probably an undue amount of influence in an administration where joe biden, i don't think anybody interesting, people are wondering about biden and the reason why speaking yesterday. so he took two questions yesterday. he got lured back to the podium. this is what he said. listen. >> you guys are bad. i'm not supposed to be answering all these questions. i can't resist your questions. edward: so i'm not supposed to be answering your questions. he is the leader of the free world. who is he taking orders from? >> can you imagine donald trump, never going to say i'm not supposed to answer your questions. he will answer everybody's question, even the ones that aren't asked. the tragedy is, is the foreign policy of the biden administration is the same foreign policy of the obama administration. it's a lot of the same people, susan rice being one. it is soft on china, don't stand up to china, it's pro-iran, it is anti-israel, it is pro-palestinian but tough talk about russia but don't act on russia. you have a situation in a couple of months they have a crisis on just about every contin

i'm curious what this tells but the biden's administration handling of schools overall? lls me what we've already known even before joe biden went ahead and became president. it is that job jobe and his administration have been in bed with the teachers unions from day one and they have had enormous influence not only over the cdc recommendations and these kinds of statements but about all education policies coming out of this administration that was absolutely predictable from day one. dr. jill biden, first lady, met immediately with teachers unions after joe biden took the presidency. cheryl: i want to talk about the teachers unions. carol mark owe which is wrote an op-ed that cdc cruel guidance trapses our kids into a forever pandemic. there is no data to support the masking norm beginning at age two. the guidance, written by someone never attended summer camp, that kids separated three feet at all times, six feet when they're eating. what do you think of the administration, constant basically flip-flopping on this? >> it shows the power of the teachers unions behind th

the number of migrant children as young as toddlers and infants that the biden administration is now holding in hundreds of facilities across the country. 20 of the nation's governors sign a new letter demanding biden address the border crisis. we're also following government documents indicating that the biden administration is in fact releasing convicted illegal aliens into u.s. communities instead of deporting them. new questions mount over hunter biden's personal relationship with a chinese american secretary at that oil conglomerate that paid him millions of dollars. that was in china. i'm elizabeth macdonald.

europe and let's also remember that was started under the obama administration, the obama-biden administration. the trump administration were very pleased, we use the, sanctions, diplomatic leverage, we used president trump himself to make sure that nordstream 2 came to mind when it was supposed to comee online. i'm very proud of that work. now what we have, joe biden completely backing down and allowing the russians to complete this pipeline. >> jason: you wouldn't hear that from greenpeace or these other leftist organizations. actually flying one down and joe biden flipped a switch and said, go for it. what's your perspective on how joe biden is treating russia. because fore more than four years, all i could hear was p,trump, trump, trump, it seems like the one that's actually coddling up and taking this approach of appeasement to russia and biden is joe biden. >> as you mention in your opener, he canceled the pipeline, backpackers attacked our biggest pipeline in colonial after he canceled keystone and now we are just going to let the russians have their pipeline and give away the sanctions

is there a loss of trust that the biden administration won't be able to restore? it seems the trump administration opened panned or a pandora's box. is there enough trust to resolve these thorny trade issues when negotiations will last likely years, potentially into 2024 and the new administration? >> i think you put your finger on a great issue and that is trust, and rebuilding trust takes time. we have a four-year presidential cycle. restore alliances, rebuild trust, re-enter and show leadership in some key international organizations. and i think a lot of our allies and partners welcome this, but also i think in the back of their minds, there's also kind of an uneasiness about where the united states might be in 3 1/2 years. so i think that has led a lot of our allies and partners to really work on diversifying their trading partners and their economic partners so they're not overreliant on the united states, should we embark on a protectionist trade policy in 3 1/2 years. >> that leads me right into my next question. you spent a lot of time working on this issu

the biden administration, they talk tough, biden said putin is a killer but when it comes down to doingwn, the biden administration shuts down the keystone pipeline killing 11,000 jobs. they want to shut down the dakota access pipeline, the prominent michigan newspaper the detroit news, calling governor whitaker of michigan clueless for demanding a shutdown of a fuel pipeline amid gas shortages triggered about i the colonial pipeline ran some wear attack. secretary mayorkas defending pipelines as critical infrastructure. jennifer granholm says we need the pipes to deliver the fuel. what do you say? >> they think if they up enough blue smoke and mirrors they won't see what is going on. they're canceling pipelines in america. they're making energy much more expensive in the united states. they're making the united states, in fact a much bigger polluter because those pipelines carry natural gas. while at the same time they're allowing the russians to become rich and economically powerful because of the pipelines there. look at the end of the day, liz, i don't think it is anymore it is abou

the biden administration is saying, yeah, let them do it. this was undoubtedly a hard call they led the global resistance. they've said they are adamantly opposed. pharmaceutical companies are more against this. the whole idea that they can invent things and have control overall that drug and what it generates it helps and matters at the end of the day, this is something president biden promised he with could if elected president. ady barkan is a lawyer, a speaker, a day, also has als. he uses computer assistant technology. he did a hard-charging interview with then presidential candidate mr. biden, in that interview, he got this skplisive promise. >> the world health organization is leading an unprecedented global effort in the search for covid treatments and vaccines but trump has refused to join that effort cutting america off from the rest of the world, if the u.s. discovers a vaccine first, will you commit to sharing that technology with other countries and will you ensure there are no patents that stand in the way of producing those va

maria: whyhy is the biden administration allowing this?at you're asking right now is the most important question in the united states that too many people are not asking. not enough journalists are asking, not enough members of congress are asking about why the biden administration is doing nothing to stop this from happening and not even acknowledging what the consequences are going to be to the united states of america. because you mentioned one thing about the cost. and that is the cost that we are incurring with regard to securing the border but we didn't talk about the healthcare cost, the education cost, the law enforcement cost, all these other costs that will be incurred not just by texas butth by all of the other states that the gangs and the human traffickers eventually go to. maria: and it seems like the cartels are really winning and making big money here. someone told me this week that they're making $400 million monthly. they're charging $4,000 a head, they're taking 2,000 people a day into america and depending on where you

is there a loss of trust in there that the biden administration simply won't be able to restore? it felt a little like the trump administration was opening a pandora's box where trade and tariffs were being used in new and innovative and potentially hostile ways. is there enough trust to be able to negotiate some of these really thorny trade issues that are likely, , even when the negotiations are likely to last years potentially through 2024, to a new administration? >> i think you put your finger on a great issue, and that is trust, and rebuilding trust takes time. we have a four-year presidential election cycle, and so the biden team obviously is working very hard to restore our alliances to rebuild trust, to reenter and show leadership in some key international organizations. i think a lot of our allies and partners have welcomed this, but also i think in the back of their mind there's also an and easiness about where the united states might be in three and a half years. i think that it's let a lot of our allies and partners to really work on diversifying their trading partner

as a result of the biden administration's policies the public charge rule has been gutted. or 100 years. the trump administration defined it in their way meaning you can't have welfare and childcare. it's a common sense rule trying to protect taxpayers at the same time trying to protect the public. >> harris: quickly what do you say to the squad, the congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and others who will fight back and say but that's not the humanity thing to do, the humanitarian thing to do. what is your comeback? >> i'm a first generation american. my family fled communism. what the biden administration is doing are undermining immigration policy. having millions of people come into this country being exploited by the cartel. fueling the cartels more money is dangerous for everyone whether you are democrat or republican. >> harris: i want to thank everybody for watching "the faulkner focus". "outnumbered" after the break. use your va benefits to turn that equity into cash while rates are near all time lows. the newday100 va cash out loan lets you borrow $50,000 or more

but i will tell you this, the first 100 days of the biden administration have been great for the cartelse gangs, human traffickers who had been exploiting the border. because, what happens, you had all these young migrants search the border in the border patrol officers are occupied in dealing with those who are surged in and that is when the cartels and gang members are able to use the open spaces to sneaker crossed high-value people such as terrorist, such as people with criminal records as well as fentanyl, the drugs and things like that, that's exactly why we have all the public safety officers down here because we are working for texas to deploy resources to secure the border. maria: what kind of cost does this represent for the state of texas, were not talking about the cost. >> and does not come free, our state legislature, they allocate $800 million every two years for the state to pay for this, this year because of the extended time will have the national guard on the border it will clearly exceed a billion dollars for the state to secure the united states of america. here's our

elizabeth: republican senator josh hawley and michael braun pushing to force the biden administration to declassify all u.s. intelligence on the whether covid-19 did i leak got would you hand lab in china. senate democrats like senator tim kaine also demanding an investigation as president biden orders u.s. intelligence to investigate this theory as one of two quote, likely causes for the pandemic. this after the biden administration shut down trump's state department probe into this theory. joining us tonight, house intelligence ranking member devin nunes, texas congressman troy nils, congresswoman nancy mace. dr. bret giroir, guy benson and texas attorney general ken paxton. tonight we have rare footage, rare sound you may have not seen, sound head of the northern profit echo health alliance. he is denying the lab theory pushing supervirus funding research, all of that news is pushing back, trying to deny it. this is theory. that dr. fauci and the nih gave his non-profit money and then non-profit turned around and funded the wuhan lab. we have dr. dacik on tape, we were researching

the biden administration will do what they want to do.demic and the reigns of the presidency and they want to transform america, this is what they have said. they will spend untold amounts of money to do this. >> sandra: i wasn't referencing the stimulus checks and now the child tax credit checks that will go out in july. i was referencing the low interest rate environment we've been in while this is happening, jessica. isn't this a recipe for higher prices across the board, whether it's food, energy or housing? >> it looks that way in the short term. i do believe the biden administration and the fed will work very hard to address this. we don't want to lose economic gains we've had. we want consumer optimism to go back up. we need retail spending to go up. that is something that we saw a downturn last quarter. we shouldn't have and the jobs report was disappointing. it wasn't because easter was in the wrong month this year. so we thought we would pay attention to this. i don't think you can ignore supply chain problems. >> sandra: anybod

shame on the biden administration, shame on the border czar.f that it's anticipated 2 million people will cross our southern border illegally this year. this is not just kids in cages, this is about this dramatic impact that it's going to have on our country, the financial resources being used. dhs just issued a contract for $87 million to house people that are coming into this country illegally. this is going to harm taxpayers. and don't forget, as a former gang prosecutor, federal prosecutor, the cartels make money off every single persons crossing that border, they've dramatically increased the drugs coming into our country, and that's going to lead to our kidsing with poisoned -- kids being poisoned. mike: i want to squeeze in one more topic alarming a lot of parents, critical race theory. what are your concerns about that? >> me and some of my colleagues have concerns over a proposed rule. the biden administration's department of education wants to give money to fund programs that encourage critical race theory. bottom line is this, mike,

i believe they suspect that the biden administration as the previous obama-biden administration would be very sympathetic to the palestinians and push back on the israelis. that was the pattern for eight years under obama. and i suspect that is part of the reason here for what we're seeing. what should take place here without any equivocation whatsoever, president biden should call out what the terrorist organization hamas is doing. there was nothing to justify conducting over 1,000 rocket attacks on cities inside of israel where innocent people, women and children and hospitals are all in residence. that is despicable behavior and must be called out. mohammed abbas is a weak leaders of the palestinian authority. as a result of the dispute over the housing he called for confrontation with the israelis. that produced the riots in the major mosque in jerusalem. there is a reason why the arabs are normalizing relationship with the israelis. the first reason they know they have to confront iran, the destabilizer in the region. here iran is providing all the rockets and funding for hamas.
