this is what biden-harris are doing, it's disgusting and harris has a cavalier attitude through thisuman toll that's happened around our border and this is their crisis, this is the biden-harris crisis. they doesn't want to call it a crisis. they don't want anybody-- they don't want the media to go down. they don't want us to talk about it at all. this is just, this is just emblemic of what we have got in washington right now. going to the border harris had no interest in doing. she finally came to el paso a few weeks ago. and it's all-- she had to come, she had to come because of her failed leadership. that's why she was there. now, she could have gone with governor abbott, she could have gone with president trump and seen the real crisis, the crisis caused when you don't finish a border wall. when you don't electrify cameras and lights so what we have to do is we have to talk about this and we have to fight every day to make sure we have a secure border, and we've got to call the democrats out for exactly what they are doing. now, that's my job, i'm the new chair of the national re

look at the agenda biden harris administration and what some of the damage they've done to this countryeative time, we know what our job is but over the past four years as republicans, who showed what you can accomplish ifed you stand firm on conservative principles and don't back down.d it's amazing to think all we've accomplished the past 48 months, whilst on employment, highest household income, most energy production, most american pro- american tracheal and most secure order and strongest military in the history of the world in four short years we made america greater than ever before. [applause] in fact, i never felt better in my life. a challenging time with the democrat house and the senate, democratic administration, it reminds me of a story president reagan used share, a story of a farmer who decided it's time to go on the market so he loaded the car in the back of the truck and he drove into town and apparently along the way at the intersection, there was an accident and a truck and the farmer and the cow went everywhere and as these things go, the farmer recovered but he was

when you look at the agenda of the biden-harris administration and the damage they have done to thist such a short time, we know what our job yes. over the past four years as republicans we showed what you can accomplish if you stand firm on conservative principles and don't back down. it's amazing to think, all that we accomplished over the past 48 months, lowest unemployment congressman hice household income, the most energy production, the most american pro-american trade deals, the most secure border and the strongest realtor inst the histy of the world in four short years. we made america greater than ever before. fact, i never felt better in my life and i know its junction time with the democrat house and senate and democrat administration. kind of reminds me of a story president reagan used to love to tell, the story of a farmer who decided it was time to take account of market saw reloaded the cow in the back of his truck. his dog jumped in the cab and drove together along the way at intersection there was an accident at the truck and the farm and account all went anywhere. a

that is what biden and harris are doing. talked to border patrol agent's that said the women are so worried about being raped, they cover themselves with feces so they will be discussing to men. this is what biden and harris are doing. it is disgusting. harris has a cavalier attitude to this whole human toll that has happened around our border. this is their crisis, this is right and harris' crisis. they don't want to call it a crisis. they don't want the media to go down. they don't want us to talk about it at all. this is emblematic of what we've got an our leadership in washington right now. harris had no interest in going to the border. as you know, she finally came to el paso a few weeks ago. she had to come because of her failed leadership. that is why she was there. she could have gone with governor abbott and president trump and seen the real crisis caused when you don't finish a border wall. you don't electrify lights. what we have to do is talk about this and we have to fight every day to make sure we have a secure

>> bill: bye. >> harris: public outcry as the biden administration calls on fully vaccinated americans to mask up again. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". the cdc now is urging mask wearing in areas where the delta variant is surging and the federal agency also wants our children to mask up again in schools regardless of vaccination status. and then there is the white house in all of this with the president flipping his stance on mandatory vaccines. previously he said it would not be mandatory for federal workers to get the shot. but now -- >> will you require all federal employees to get vaccinated? >> president biden: it's under consideration right now. >> if you're fully vaccinated you no longer get to wear a mask if it was possible that would turn out not to be true. >> we're all dealing with an evolving virus. there is no playbook and no historic precedent. what the american people should feel confident in we'll continue to be guided by science. >> harris: i'm going to need some working slides the next time we see the leadership. show us the science. republi

the biden harris reelection is at risk. but the states republican governor says the restrictions ensure election security was senate bill to 0 to georgia will take another step toward ensuring our elections are secure, accessible and fair. the biding justice department disputes that it says georgia is violating federal law on the basis of race warning. our complaint alleges that recent changes to georgia election laws were inactive with the purpose of denying or bridging the right of black georgians to vote on account of their race or color . the dispute over voting rights is center stage in american politics on tuesday, president biden will speak on the issue in a national address in philadelphia, the birthplace of american democracy, the by the white house says it's working to protect. kimberly, how could al jazeera, the white house, australian scientists say they've developed a pain free low cost way to test blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. it's all down to a non invasive strip that checks glucose levels. so a

>> the biden-harris administration has stepped up.dditional resources and boots on the ground but that's something we will have a conversation about post-wildfire season. it's incredibly important with climate change that we get into these forests and start doing the thinning and harvest and prescriptive burning so that we can create healthier landscapes, landscapes that are more resilient to wildfire. i'm really pleased i was able to sign legislation this past week that provides the state with more tools, including resources for our communities to be more adaptive to wildfire. additional resources to ensure we have the adequate firefighting tools and more resources to do the prescriptive and mitigation work that we need to do on the ground. but, jake, the harsh reality is that we're going to see more of these wildfires. they're hotter. they're more fierce and, obviously, much more challenging to tackle. and they are a sign of the changing climate impacts. in the last year, oregon has had four federal emergency declarations in additio

the biden/harris agenda faces challenges, its biggest challenges in the united states senate. now, no president in history served in the senate longer than joe biden and no president in history has understood the senate that he is dealing with better than joe biden understands his current senate. joe biden said this week that in effect the senate is broken. he said that the rule on the 60 vote threshold is no longer working the way it was supposed to. and he said he supports a change in that rule, but some people think they heard him say there should be no change in the senate rules. but what i heard joe biden say indicates that he will support a change in the senate rules probably for voting rights legislation after -- after he has accomplished what he can in the senate under the current rules. in that sense the biden infrastructure bills and voting rights bills are strategically linked. joe biden clearly believes he cannot come out in full opposition to the current senate rules while trying to hold on to a fragile, bipartisan coalition of senators for his infrastructure bill

ask yourself of the biden-harris administration really cared about containing covid, why are they embracingrants being asked to show their proof of vaccine as they walk across the border? are migrants being required to show proof of a negative test? and now biden's department of justice is suing texas for having the audacity to want to secure the state and wanting to do the job that the federal government is refusing to do. and attorney general ken paxton responded to a statement in part "texas won't back down. i will defend governor abbott's order in court and we will work together to keep president biden out of texas' business. and attorney general paxton, he joins us now. thank you so much. the crisis there in texas and across our southern border, the numbers are so stunning and we see this video and people are literally just streaming across but so many of them have covid, evidently. >> yeah, you know it is ironic too, if you are a u.s. citizen coming from another country, you can't get back in if you have covid but if you're coming here illegally you can come across without any testing

it has been a busy month for the biden/harris administration on the world stage. at the gunning of the month -- beginning of the month, vice president harris visited guatemala and mexico x a few weeks ago i joined president biden in brussels where we highlighted the importance of the trans-atlantic relationship. and tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of the united states-mexico-canada agreement. this important milestone offers us opportunities to reflect on the importance of our partnership and commit to advancing a positive economic agenda that lifts up workers and if communities in all of our countries. i believe that the usmca provides us with a framework to advance this agenda. for years there was broad consensus that the nafta needed to be updated and remedied to meet the needs of the 21st century and correct for flaws and breakdowns in the agreement that developed over time. that view was shared by the business community, labor unions and members of congress from both parties. the usmca, as originally negotiated, made some important strides toward achie

better than what i saw from hunter biden. >> harris: if you're a biden you can get a half million. >>alism as far as possible corruption. an ongoing f.b.i. investigation into tax issues, right? this isn't exactly a reach. you mentioned kessler before, the "washington post" fact checker in the final weeks of campaigning he wrote trump repeatedly praised the "new york post" for publishing the laptop stuff. give it up mr. president for your sake and the nation's. he dismissed the fact checker and turns out that story was exactly true. maybe just take the -- go off twitter for a while like i did. >> harris: a lot of people are doing that. a quick point. you point out the corruption in the investigation going on and i point to where the real problem would have been if somebody could take advantage of some of the things that hunter biden has done since his father was vice president while much of what was going on was happening. it makes president biden vulnerable. i just wonder why he doesn't speak up and why they don't deal it. >> i think you know why. even the former white house ethics ch

president biden ought to be talking about it three times a day and twice on sunday. >> harris: senatorckly normally we make it a choice. silent or doing the right thing? we know joe biden as candidate talked about easing some of the sanctions. that way he might work with other countries. so which would you want him to be silent or are you concerned he might go down the wrong road? >> i want him to do something. i was going to say something i shouldn't. i want him to do something. >> harris: say what's on your mind. >> not this time. put it in generic terms. i want to see the leaders of the free world. not just american but all freedom loving countries get up off their ice cold lazy butts and support the people of cuba, not just with a press release. with sanctions, with their cyber skills, and do it repeatedly. now, we have the castro government down. let's choke them to death. >> harris: got it. we'll get to this. a small school district in california reportedly is planning to spend $40 million on teaching what they call ethnic studies to high school students with consultants training

i am so pleased to have the biden/harris administration that sees the science and data around climaten. in oregon, we have taken a number of steps to tackle climate change from passing legislation to reduce the intensity of the current emissions to moving to clean energy, and oregon now once i sign the bill will have the most aggressive clean energy standard in the entire country. >> so, governor, i am curious if you have seen as you have experienced this heat wave and as different industries and people that you are seeing in the politics around this, because it is an issue for many years that people said that it didn't exist, and we were fighting over that, and arguments over the data and seemed far away for people in their every day lives, and some would say it is taking a long time, and others are saying that it is abruptly feeling it in their lives and is this translating to more support of the clean policies for the constituencies or the groups who may in the past didn't care about it or were opposed to making some of the changes to protect the climate? >> well, what we are seein

see it in the shot behind those flowers, but there's a ticket from the inauguration, from the biden/harriss opposed to waiting until it was over to write it what made you decide to do it that way >> so i decided to write this book in 2018 we sold the book in 2018 and it said in the proposal for the book that publishers were interested in, this is going to be the craziest election that has ever happened and probably the most important election in the history of america i knew that that was the case already without knowing obviously anything about the pandemic, anything about what happened after george floyd, the economic crisis, the democracy crisis we're in. so the proposal got more true after i sold it, but it was already clear that the existential crisis the democrats were going through once trump won, it's just such a crazy collection of things that were happening. and i could see 26 buttons up there. i thought there would be max 16 people running. but i could tell that these were interesting people, and to get into these characters and use them as way to tell the story of what was goin

if you want to understand joe biden and kamala harris, on every issue, whatever the radicals are, the left-wing radicals, biden said all right, you're in charge of those issues. so on the border, it's the open border radicals who are in charge. on israel, it's the anti-israel radicals who are in charge. on issues of the so-called equality act, it's the radicals who want to force biological men to play in girls sports and women's sports. on every issue, if the radicals who are driving the agenda so i don't know that joe and kamala necessarily anticipated this crisis, i think they're just naive. i think open borders sounds wonderful and nice and utopian and they don't understand that when you don't enforce the borders, that the cartels will traffic millions of people into this country and that the suffering will be staggering and right now i think their hands are tied because they've made the promises, they are not going to go back on those promises, i don't believe, so joe biden will not be willing to enforce the border or stop the illegal immigration, so his only solution to the borde

they're pushing the biden harris administration to prioritize the issue. now they then have to be number one for a structure, infrastructure to provide a job right now we need. right? because right, how defined democracy? so we are wanting him to put or more. * input in 2020 butler work to register new voters in georgia. the state helped propel job bought into the white house. democrats worry under new voting restrictions. the bible harris reelection is at risk. but the states republican governor says the restrictions ensure election security was senate bill to to georgia will take another step toward ensuring our elections are secure, accessible and fair. the biding justice department disputes that it says georgia is violating federal law on the basis of race warning. our complaint alleges that recent changes to georgia election laws were inactive with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of black georgians to vote on account of their race or.

it was caused by joe biden and kamala harris. i have got to say, i spent a lot of time at the tborder and with border patrol agency in the rio grande valley. and we are seeing -- last month we saw 180,000 people cross the border illegally. they are being crammed into the biden cages. you notice much of the corrupt corporate media of won't show the biden cages. they are helping joe biden covered up. i have seen it and with little boys and girls packed into cages on top of each other. when we were there, they had a covid positivity rate of 10%. and like a turning, revolving door, joe biden is releasing them. there was a report this week, the biden administration released over 50,000 illegal immigrants without giving them a court date. just release them, and you know what they are asked to report into i.c.e. 13% report to ice. that it's spreading covid in our communities. the election of joe biden and becoming president of this country was a covid super spreader event. they are releasing illegal immigrants in south texas and across

they always say the biden/harris administration. a point of how she's not only the last in the room but the first in the room. they eat lunch regularly. she does the national security briefings with him on a daily basis. they tried to show that unified front. with some of the anonymous sources coming out and detailing a turmoil in her office, clearly it's something that the vice president will have to confront with. just this -- before this narrative builds like abbie said in the coming days and this is part of that with the white house officials coming out and defending her. >> this is day 164. we're five months and there's transitions bumps and bruises. because this is a recurring theme, we'll check back in another 100 days. >>> up next, delta variants are spreading and new covid cases are on the rise. welcome back, america. it sure is good to see you. do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet? try nervivenerve relief from the world's #1 selling nerve care company. nervive contains alpha lipoic acid to reli

and in the last 180 days in the biden-harris administration we have seen how bad things can get whenthat. i don't want to pretend that everything was perfect at the border in december of 2020 but president trump had it under control. it was operationally stable and so you get biden in office and he invites people to come here, come on in, you can stay, we will put you up in a hotel room and, of course, people flood the zone and everybody being trafficked, hundreds of thousands of people, they are all trafficked by cartels and the women are raped and the children are abused. this is a huge disaster and so what we have to get here get trump policies back in place and finish the wall that people come through the narrow gaps in the wall that the administration currently empower refuses to issue. it's common sense stuff. we need to will to enforce the law. maria: yeah, i mean, look, you come from a technology background, when you come back we have to talk about big-tech comance. president trump suing big tech. that's for another day. blake, thank you very much for having you, we will be w

aisle and to leverage that influence with the incredible amount of money that ceos gave to the biden/harris campaign. i just hope my democratic colleagues will remain vigilant and not give the's companies pass or let up the pressure maybe break the mother we can talk about that section 230 is a step but i think we need to break it up. >> on that point the two bills you recently introduced the trust busting and that the attack act. on that point of working with democrats, how do you get these through congress? to make these are the most aggressive trust busting bills in years. the most aggressive in congress now and i think we will find out where people are. there is room to get some work across the aisle and the subcommitteemm that amy klobuchar chairs with her own antitrust proposal good, ground i also propose to go farther than senator klobuchar has but have a hard stand on mergers and acquisitions those have a market cap of 100 billion or more to change the standard the courts evaluate antitrust cases. promoting competition ought to be the standard courts use the consumer welfare standar

did you get a sense the biden harris administration has a real plan to get federal legislation? it was scheduled for one hour, it lasted an hour and 30 perhaps 40 minutes. let me first say it's a privilege to meet with the president and the vice president of our country. but i also must say that the president and the vice president convened this meeting. it is they who wanted to hear from eight civil rights leaders. i would not describe our discussion as being overwhelmingly optimistic. it was profoundly realistic as the president and the vice president agreed with us that our democracy is at stake. >> damon you are in the meeting today with the president of the united states, very similar to the kind of meeting the reverend doctor martin is looking junior had with the president of the united states 60 years ago. well civil rights leaders 60 years from now being in the white house having meetings about voting rights? >> we should be, lawrence. i think doctor cole said it well. it's not only a privilege to be in the room. but it's where we should be, right? we like to think progr

>> the biden-harris administration stands by the cuban people and people around the world who demandserve them rather than try to silence them. >> i really can't understand why anyone wouldn't, you know, call this what it is. it's never worked. it's never gonna work, and the united states has to start intervening. >> bret: the situation in cuba taking a turn over the weekend as cube back people head to the streets calling for liberty and freedom. let's bring back our panel trey gowdy harold ford jr. and jesse watters co-host of "the five" and author of the book "how i saved the world." harold, let me start with you, firm words from the president and are there democrats taking from cuban situation how do you see it? >> let me be clear i'm not one of those democrats. i stand with the president in standing against protesters in standing up a decaying communist regime. any american serving in public office has a responsibility to do this. i hope that those democrats and republicans alike who have not announced their unwavering support for those protesters for those seeking freedom that t

the same communities that so strongly supported, biden harris during last year's election. people in the white community are starting to claim that they are pressed as well. take the issue of critical race theory. many white voices are speaking up and claiming it is rewriting history. number of white people, according to the survey feel now that they are under represented in relief programs, especially after the rise of the black lives matter movement. americans, poor assessment of black white relation stands alone in their assessments of relations between other u. s. racial and ethnic groups, majority of americans rate relations between hispanic and white people, black and hispanic people, asian and white people. and like an asian people, as good with people being drawn apart. the white house is failing to help divisions and overcome the tensions of previous years, making the problem more of an issue in today's america. so this is not surprising at all. it's of the unfortunate result. not having a reckoning with the past the present. and unfortunately, potentially the futu

so how can the biden—harris administration reset the relationship with those governments, given all theom washington. a new administration in washington seemed like a new start for many migrants, but on her first trip to central america since taking office, vice president kamala harris delivered the same message that the trump administration had told anyone considering the journey. do not come. the united states will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border. she was widely criticised for it and later clarified that claiming asylum is an international right. but with washington also urging central american governments to crack down on people leaving their borders, many say there's no discernible difference from trump to biden. the state department's special envoy for the region denies that charge. the united states government is going to enforce its laws and other governments are going to do that as well, so the focus of this administration really is on trying to change the conditions that are driving people to leave irregularly. yet the situation on the ground in central ameri
