harris: listen carefully. every time you hear biden administration officials explain how iran s paid for and trained terrorists killed three american soldiers and at least 40 others were wounded. biden s pentagon says confusion happened over the enemy drone striking at the same time as the u.s. drone was returning to the base. they ll figure that out. here is what s really happening for the american people. for 105 days a mortal enemy, iran, through its groups that it pays for and backs, fires at will, hits their targets, kills our people, and still no address to the nation by president biden. i m not talking about a few words here and there. let s see if they can explain why he can t explain to us why iran feels like it can do this even though he said he knew they wouldn t do anything. we need answers now. and some backbone would be good. i m harris faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. the pentagon has released information on the patriots we just lost. sergeant wi
john: just two weeks to go now before title 42 ends, biden administration is announcing new measures to tackle illegal immigration and human smuggling. scrambling to set up tents, tables and portable toilets to process migrants as they overwhelm border towns like brownsville texas. the surge is agents from 200 miles away are coming in to help. shelters in el paso, texas, overrun with migrants while an estimated 35,000 more are waiting across the border for title 42 to end. national border patrol council president brandon judd standing by. he ll join us on this and more coming up. john: but first, president biden taking the podium yesterday for his first news conference in more than a month and appearing to rely on cheat sheets to pull it all off. hello, john roberts, nice to spend friday eve as we like to call it around here with you.
expected surge of illegal immigration at the border once title 42 lifts on may 11. the biden administration saying it plans to build lawful pathways for migrants and consequences for those who don t use them. comes as a whistleblower testified before congress yesterday on the dangers that migrant children are facing from sponsors who exploit them. brandon judd is the president of the national border patrol council and joins us now. unaccompanied minors in a second, brandon, but the title for when title 42 comes off, dhs plans to use the long standing title 8, which in part calls for illegal immigrants to be generally processed under title 8, expedited removal in days, generally barred from re-entry for at least five years if ordered removed and presumed in eligible for asylum under lawful pathways regulation. title 8 has been around for a long time. is this the solution? no, it s not. i process people under title 8
