and you are not listening to all the back and forth and for the first time you are hearing anything about some of these things and you are hearing them about president biden and giving a plan on dealing with opioids and giving, or saying to republicans let s talk about immigration, if you want to talk about immigration let s at least pay for border security, those things will sound eminently reasonable to you? you hear what biden is saying, you can t even hear the heckling at all and i think that was definitely by design, they wanted to get some points on the board on those fronts so that republicans couldn t say that biden was not going to engage with them on this these issues and if the american people are listening for the very first time, they are hearing it from biden first. and jamie gangel, congressman and jamie raskin, democrat of maryland said that marjorie taylor greene seemed to not be able to tell the difference between tending attending the rocker horror picture show.
i m harris faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. americans want answers but we won t get them today. his testimony on capitol hill before congress is now on hold. bankman-fried arrested in the bahamas last night one month after ftx was forced to file for bankruptcy after an astounding $8 billion shortfall. and it s an implosion affecting more than just crypto currency investors. in the world of politics, a major player for democrats as i just mentioned. let s dig deeper. he donated nearly $40 million to party causes and candidates last election cycle. second only to billionaire liberal activist george soros. some are scrambling to off load that dirty money. can they do that fast enough? others we re not so sure. house financial services committee going ahead with the hearing despite bankman-fried s absence. i look forward to getting his
booming economy instead of deliberately depressing the economy and not creating conditions for the boom we know is within us if they just get off our backs, cut regulations and taxes. it is amazing how good the economy has held up despite tall abuses. if you want to see the future, look at europe or france where they average 1% growth over a generation. that s not america and it is not necessary. i think that will be reversed in 2024. i hope the republicans start to show they mean what they say in spending in the next couple of weeks. throw everything in the bucket year end resolution and throw in hundreds of billions more in spending. let s see if they say no, no more increases. harris: time for republicans to show their cards. if they re real. harris: the boom within us as americans is the positive. steve forbes, thank you very
but biden lets them in anyway. our panel is here now. this will be a lightning round. let s begin with jose. if you can approach defending what this administration is doing right now as our agents are seeing a tick up in suicides. it s a tough issue. just last week they caught 1.5 million pills of fentanyl at the border in arizona. border patrol, this administration are doing their job. if you want to do a better and faster job pass border enhancement. a bill in congress which you get pass, the budget has hundreds of millions for border enhancements. if republicans care about immigration let s put more resources on the ground. let s stop finger pointing. harris: but jose, again we have to keep it quick. you know that the problem isn t
to note that obama was unable to navigate a divided congress. your reaction to that. i think this is certainly very important to the obama legacy in terms of immigration reform being one of his top priorities, if not the top priority for the second term. but he also has guns that was a failure. an upcoming debt debate. there are still quite a few other things that will be on the, on his plans in terms of how his legacy is actually written. if it is seen, if immigration let s say does not pass it is and seen as a failure for the president, it would be the same for someone like senator marco rubio. if he is planning to run has put a lot of stock in passing immigration reform. his name is as tied to this as it seems. the president s would be. i think his legacy is more tied to it than marco rubio. he still has an opportunity to pivot away. so far he has stayed true to the gang of 8 and his negotiators
