over and over he didn't have anything to do with those business dealings. nearly 70% of people say biden did something illegal. 55% say he acted inappropriately. none of it good. the "new york post" cover putting it bluntly. there is no hiding from the scandal. these numbers come as special counsel david weiss is prepared to indict hunter biden on gun charges later this month. why he didn't do it yesterday when he announced it we don't know. but hunter's attorney and liberal media now saying in concert they are just caving to republican pressure. >> it looks like the heat that's put on by the republican congressmen who want to interfere in the normal course of what the justice department does, puts up the heat. where else other than a case in which they are cowering from the political pressure would somebody be charged with something that's unconstitutional? >> d.o.j. has given me whiplash on this one. the only conclusion the whistleblowers were right. initially d.o.j. was ravedy to give this deal away chiefly. when political pressure went up d.o.j. did a complete 180. >> harris: raymond arroyo. your top line thoughts on this. >> first of all, those polls don't mean a lot to me because whoever that 38% who believes this is inconsequential haven't been paying attention. the house oversight committee doug deep into the biden financial records. found 20 shell corporations, found at least six direct policy outcomes after payments were made and we are looking at something like $20 million in payments to this family which no one can explain. this bears scrutiny and when you take that and you marry it to the hunter biden laptop, ukrainian businessman coming out and saying i bribed joe biden but i had to do it through a shell corporation, there is a lot of fire here because there is tons of smoke. anybody who can't see that hasn't been listening or watching. >> harris: you are 0ing in on the 38% of americans in the polling that say that this isn't a problem yet for them. that's important because everybody else is looking at the bigger number. i think what you are getting at is why isn't it 0? it's a great question. >> part of it is media coverage. other media have had a black out. at this point normal lear should be getting residuals because biden kept it all in the family. not pretty the way it's rolling out. >> harris: let's watch fetterman challenge republicans to impeach president biden. >> harris: oh, oh yeah, that was not on camera. it didn't matter. they needed to bleep it. >> thank goodness it wasn't on camera. he can't put three sentences together. he is implored, god bless him. he can't serve his people right now who sent him to washington. he is the last guy commenting on the complexities of this case. justice should be blind. it shouldn't be subject to public whim or where the polls are. the facts bear scrutiny. they need to be examined closely no matter what john fetterman or anyone else says. >> harris: when it comes to hunter biden and the business deals and now joe biden and all of that, some might argue that justice isn't supposed to be blind as much as it is supposed to be fair, right? that's kind of what you are saying. this might be a case of justice wearing rose colored lenses until now. let's see if the indictment against hunter actually happens. why didn't they do it yesterday? a new report shows the biden administration is considering dramatic action now on the border crisis. oh, lean in. what now? the president is considering forcing illegal immigrant families to stay in texas. of course. he doesn't want pressure on dem-led cities and wanting to punish texas, even though they make up a fraction of the 7 million the state of texas has taken in that they are sending to other states. there is no confirmation. the department telling fox that they are also discussing how to manage the crisis in a humane, effective way. the crisis overwhelming some democrat-led cities as we know. reporting new york city schools were overwhelmed yesterday by the addition to 21,000 illegal immigrant students in addition to its normal enrollment. some schools turned away students due to overcrowding. a pair of op ed. the migrant melt down. you have to fix it, mayor adams. >> i don't know where to start here. i was just in new york. down at the roosevelt hotel blocks from where you are where it is a migrant shelter now, now choked with people around the block, on the streets. motorcycles and mopeds around the hotel. migrants use to deliver food, drugs and other migrants. this is very bad what's happening in new york. but yes, new york rolled out the red carpet declaring itself a sanctuary city and established a right to shelter law. that word went out to all the south and central americans so they are coming to new york not because governor abbott is sending them there. he only sent 13,000. more than 100,000 in new york city. they are coming because they know they get free housing, free education, free meals, and now i'm told a pilot program will send them to another state and give them a job. remarkable what they're seeing. this is biden's fault for leaving the border open. he now wants migrants to remain in texas? they should remain in mexico as trump laid out. it was a great policy and working. an orderly means of immigration. this what you are seeing on your screen is chaos. it looks like the roosevelt hotel outside on the streets of manhattan. out rage ounce. >> harris: look at that line. let's get to the u.s. open in new york city last night. climate activists tried to ruin it. they did a pretty good job, too. they took a long pause to get a guy out who glued himself to the floor of the stadium. real fans in the stands calling for them to be kicked out. [crowd chanting] >> harris: the match was held up after protestors started screaming about fossil fuels. one glued his bare feet to the concrete floor. they couldn't move him. they would have had to slice the bottom part of his feet to get them out. they took out four protestors and then delayed that match for more than 50 minutes. the latest example of climate activists disrupting our lives. last month they blocked the road to burning man, remember that? others vandalized priceless valuable art works. they have glued themselves to coffee cafes countertops. i don't know what the fascination is with the toxic substance of glue that will do that. the climate activists and environ environmentalists are gluing themselves. >> it is highly organized. million of dollars to fund them. this isn't just someone off group. i'm just delighted they didn't paste themselves to some priceless artwork in part of our western heritage. for that i'm thankful. they are the isis of activism. they destroy everything in their wake. this is the least of their sins. i was watching this match at the u.s. open and it was enraging, insulting to the fans, insulting to the athletes in the middle of a major bit of this competition. 50 minutes of the game stalled. but you know what they should do? they should plaster the faces at the u.s. open of the people who fund extinction rebellion. like rory kennedy and eileen getty. put their faces up. that is who is responsible for this outrageous act of not only does it disturb the public but it endangers precious art works around the world and public safety. they should be stopped. this is way out of line. it is not activism. >> harris: at one point coco gauff, the youngest american to make it to that point since serena williams. talk about being a pivotal point in sports in general and for this country at its u.s. open. goes to the cameras. do you remember that? she says i don't know why they're negotiating with this guy. she is asking all of our questions to the media right there. she had time, though. 50 minutes is a long time. all right. >> its broke her stride. may have ruined her game. thank god it didn't. this stuff shouldn't be allowed and they should be barred if public events. >> both the first time in those semifinals for both of those women. coco won and will be in the final. let's see if they adjudicate the cases against the disruptors. this from atlanta. a judge has just released the full report compiled by a fulton county special grand jury laying the ground work for the election interference indictments last month against former president donald trump and 18 co-defendants. it has some interesting points in it. senior correspondent jonathan serrie is on it at the courthouse in atlanta. jonathan. >> hi there, harris. this morning the judge released the full report of the special grand jury that assisted district attorney willis she presented to the actual grand jury that indicted former president trump and 18 co-defendants. what i found most interesting about this document was the scope of this special grand jury's investigation. much widen than the actual grand jury handing down the indictments. we know there were 19 actual indictments but the special grand jury had recommended indictments against 39 individuals, among those who were not indicted the names of 19 prominent individuals, including former georgia senator and gubernatorial candidate david perdue. former senator kelly leffler. south carolina senator lindsey graham. georgia attorney lynn wood. michael flynn a former national security advisor and boris epstein a trump advisor. all the names i just read to you were not indicted. but the special grand jury that didn't have indictment power but was recommending actions for the district attorney to take as she presented her case to an actual grand jury, they had recommended those names. a total of 39 individuals. the report was completed in december after the special grand jury which had subpoena power had heard testimony from 75 witnesses. those witnesses include poll workers, georgia state officials, investigators, as well as some of the individuals that were alleging election fraud in georgia's 2020 presidential election. it was this special grand jury's unanimous opinion that there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 georgia presidential election. harris. >> harris: glad you are here to break it down. the covid mask fight playing out nationally now inside congress. now some cities trying to get ahead of any fresh mandates saying no way are we hiding our faces again. biden's war on energy, people who live in alaska are energized. >> in order to protect our culture and people we need access to these resources, to these jobs, to this economy to really protect our culture future. without an economy we don't have communities. without communities we don't have our cultures. >> harris: some argue biden's hostility to drilling will empower our foreign adversaries. senator marsha blackburn in "focus" next. this is your summer to smile. to raise your glass and reconnect. to reel in the fun and serve up great times. to help you get ready your aspen dental team is celebrating 25 years of affordable care with an epic summer of smiles event. right now, new patients without insurance get a free full exam and x-rays. plus, everyone can get 20% off their treatment plan. but hurry, because while these summer savings won't last, the memories you make together will. aspen dental. book today. about two years ago, i realized that jade was overweight. i wish i would have introduced the fresh food a lot sooner. after farmer's dog, she's a much healthier weight. she's a lot more active. and she's able to join us on our adventures. get started at betterforthem.com ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ ( ♪ ) constant contact's advanced automation lets you send the right message at the right time, every time.

it is dividing congress and the american people are watching it play out. j.d. vance took a bill to the senate floor that would ban government mask mandates. a democrat stopped that bill in its tracks. >> all of us lived through the experiment of masking. i don't want to subject people for the sake of nothing. let's learn from the mistakes we made instead of just doubling down on them. i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to the immediate consideration of s2738. the freedom to breathe act. >> reserving the right to object. >> harris: with that he sank it. some on the local level taking matters into their own hands. the city of huntington beach, california banned mask and vaccine mandates. >> it is important for our city to make a statement that says what happened in the past is not going to happen in the future. we will fight hard to make sure individual freedoms are respected. >> harris: that's important because otherwise they are left to their own devices and we've seen what they will do. marsha blackburn in "focus." first aishah hosni with more on this. >> good morning to you. republicans are watching what is happening across the country and now trying to get ahead of any potential federal mandate. just yesterday as you talked about senator vance introduced the bill banning the government from reinstating mask mandates in schools, public transportation and airplanes. democrats said it is too broad and distraction. most democrats i spoke to want the country to follow the science. >> if covid cases continue to rise nationwide, would you support a federal mask mandate again? >> i think that would depend on the lethalivity. >> the rising number of covid cases would you be support in a federal mask mandate. >> i'm not going to suppose what may happen. i think we have to look at circumstances on the ground. >> do you think masks work? >> they work sometimes. sometimes they don't. >> republicans are also blasting schools for bringing back mask mandates. some democrats feel differently about that. >> there are some colleges bringing back the mask mandates because covid cases are rising. what do you think about that especially with learning loss? >> well, i think that individual colleges are evaluating the circumstances in their particular situation. >> i will tell you that when i spoke with john tester of the red state of montana he told me no when i asked him about another federal mask mandate. again he comes from a very republican state. >> harris: i thought the answer to the question about masking with the new hampshire senator was interesting. sometimes masks work and sometimes they don't. when do they work and what don't they? she is a scientist now? good to see you, thank you. republican senator marsha blackburn of tennessee, she is with us right now. so how do you fight this on the hill when you have democrats who actually want to argue that masks sometimes work and sometimes they don't? >> harris, what you have to do is go to the american people on this. they are very much opposed to mask mandates. and i think the american people have figured out that what is happening with our children, with learning loss, how it has affected their ability to socialize, this is something that people have said, parents have said absolutely not. in a low-risk group why would you mask them up? so people are against it. they know the democrats are trying to control your life from daylight to dark. your light bulbs, gas stove, washing machine, you name it. they are trying to control the type of car that you are able to drive and to buy. and this is the reason that people are saying no. they are not fearful, they do not want these mandates. they feel like there should not be a federal mandate and there is nothing that says -- nothing in the science that is saying you need to do this. >> harris: it's interesting. when you say the american people. they are the only ones who can put pressure on those democrat leaders by calling their offices. let's move to this. republicans and a top democrat are going after president biden's latest big green push. he announced he is canceling the seven gas leases on 13 million acres on federal land in alaska. joe manchin's reaction. i can't explain to the american people why we would become more dependent on foreign oil imports. eliminate good paying american jobs and drive up the cost of our electric bills and gas prices across the country. it makes no sense and is embarrassing. a similar sentiment from across the aisle. >> we have the highest environmental standards in the world. from day one this administration driven by the radical earn wire on mental allies focuses on undermining this great strength of america. it's crazy, it will hurt our country and alaska. >> an agenda that says we can make the world have less hurricanes, less wildfires and not be this hot if all we did is stop drilling for oil. that's a lie. that's not true. >> harris: what's so interesting hearing from dan sullivan leadership there in alaska and also from native alaskans saying what are you trying to do? >> yes, because they know this is jobs. they know it is going to hurt the state's economy. they know that the residuals that citizens receive will be lower because they are going to ban drilling and ban this oil production. harris, this is happening at a time when the average american family is spending $125 per month more on their utilities and 20 million americans are behind on their utility bills. one of the main problems that people have right now is paying these bills. inflation is killing them, the price at the pump has gone sky high, they are coupling that with the price at the grocery store and they are saying how much more are we going to have to take of this? to tread water right now under bidenomics, the average american family is spending a total of $8 hundred a month more and in tennessee talking to people in tennessee i hear about the impact of what inflation, the price of utilities, the price at the pump is doing. why would we give more power to people that are not for us? why would we allow opec to push the price to $90 a barrel. it is already at 80 a barrel. it makes no sense. >> harris: is the president incompetent to make change or willing to let this go by and not fight for us as the american people? >> right. that's right. you have know, yes. you look at what has happened. you look at what has happened with his campaign, his polling numbers are very low. what is he trying to do? he is trying to appease the base. in doing this he is hurting average american families in tennessee. >> harris: the numbers you gave would be bad $125. if those were the actual costs. those pile on top of those bills every month for the american people across the country. that's frightening. it is not even cold out yet in most places in our country. senator, i know you are facing a new democratic challenger for 2024. gloria johnson has announced her play for your seat. she made headlines at part of the tennessee three. two of those democratic state representatives were reprimanded. johnson is making gun control the biggest part of her campaign. what is your take? >> my take is that i'm going to run on the record i have had representing people in tennessee and addressing the problems they're concerned about. the wide open border. making certain that we are doing things to get inflation down. that we are dealing with crime. and know there are three running against me. they are all leftist socialists. they have would make joe biden and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer look like moderates. and i know that they have supported abortion up to the last minute before and after birth. they have never voted for tax cuts. they would like a wide open border and let illegal immigrants vote. that is not the things that people of tennessee are for. i have a solid record representing them. your viewers can keep up with me and the campaign at marsha blackburn.com. >> harris: thank you for being if "focus" today. former president trump has joined south dakota governor christie nome at an event tonight. could we be seeing the 2024 ticket?

she says she is not anything out. >> we have not discussed it at all. everybody if asked to serve in any role should consider it especially now what you watch what's happening across this country. >> harris: marc thiessen. former speech writer for george w. bush and "washington post" columnist. we know what it will look like. i don't like to report news before it happens. what is the news headline here? >> he is not going to south dakota to shore up the state for the election. he won it by 20 points. probably to raise money and audition kristi noem. if he wins the nomination she would be a terrific choice for a running mate. she is one of the most successful governors in the country. before the covid lockdowns she was one of the most unpopular governors in the country with 43% approval but kept her state open and has more jobs she can can fill. not enough people to fill the jobs in the state. south dakota is like florida. if the temperatures in florida went below 0. one of the freest states in the country and one of the highest approval ratings at 83% and she was reelected by the largest margin of any governor in south dakota history. so she has a great story to tell and a great record and a terrific person on the national stage. >> harris: i love that state. i like that part of the country. the below 0 doesn't touch you, you are having so much fun and the food is delicious. i lived in minnesota. president biden facing a whole bunch of recent terrible polling, wow. sounds like a move eave. when it comes to his age and job approval, it is brutal. even democrat voters don't like it. dem insiders and liberal media finally seeming to face the facts. watch. >> you start to wonder, you have know, would you give this grandpa a high stress job for six more years or would you want something else for him? >> a lot of democratic voters and independents are nervous about an 80-year-old president who seems to at times, you know, forget names and get confused and so forth. >> the polls are not great. and it tells us that, you know, voters are expressing some apprehension here. it is pretty clear. there is not much else you can say. >> what are people missing here that the white house, political team for the re-election campaign knows that they aren't seeing? >> harris: remember, polls don't get asked in a vacuum. the biden white house is not going to be rattled by this. >> harris: really? a "wall street journal" op-ed. biden's age problem isn't going away. is kamala harris ready for the big desk? voters will ask that questions. van jones calling the president of the united states this grandpa. >> that's quite remarkable. joe biden was older on the day he took office than ronald reagan was on the day he left office. if he got a second term, he would be 86 years old at the end of his second term. if you look at the social security tables, he has -- a average american has a 60% chance -- has a 42% chance of living to the age of 85. there is about a 60% chance that joe biden won't live to the end of his second term much less do so in a way that is capable of carrying off the office of the presidency. that means the odds are 60% or more that kamala harris would become president if reelected. democrats are tear wived by that. she is even less popular than he is. he has already beaten trump. they think he could beat them. what happens if he has a fall before the election? look at how much he has been declined in the last 15 months imagine he can't debate. when you get to october. there is no time to put somebody else or replace him on the ballot. she becomes the nominee and she loses to any republican. >> harris: all of what you are saying and we aren't doctors and we can't predict the future. all of what you are saying based on the statistics and life and so on and so forth are the hard, hard truths to chew on. this is why you will hear people like nikki haley saying a vote for joe biden is a vote for kamala harris. when it comes to head-to-head match-ups between biden and every single gop candidate i will say her name again nikki haley doing the best with a six point spread over biden and outside the margin of error in this poll. important to note she is the only candidate that is not inside the margin of error and here is haley on her momentum. >> whether it's about the fact that republicans and democrats have spent like drunken sailors. whether the fact we talk about parents rights. those things matter to americans and so we are going to speak hard truths but also talk about what the solutions are to fix those things. >> harris: marc, your reaction to what's happening right now on the right against the left? >> all eyes will be on nikki haley in the next debate. she had a fantastic first debate. she has surged in approval in the polls. so people will be looking at her as a potential candidate. and the reality is look, those polls are encouraging but we shouldn't be lulled into complacency by them. elections -- no national election. it's done state by state. this election is going to be decided by a handful of swing voters in five states. republicans really need to look at which republican candidate is the one who has the best chance of appealing to those swing voters and flipping some states that went for biden against trump the last time around? the former president, second time a charm or is it somebody else? that's really what we should be asking ourselves as we go into this nominating process. >> harris: it's up to the candidates themselves to make this race about the white house as fast as they can out of the primaries. we don't know how fast that process will be and who ends up on top necessarily because you know we have to wait for the news to break. it is maybe -- maybe they would talk about their push against biden as a group and build momentum against this person and maybe even kamala harris. is that good strategy or too soon? >> we definitely want both in the primary and general election to be about the referendum on joe biden. and look, if donald trump is the nominee, this becomes a referendum on trump instead biden, republicans lose. if trump or whoever else might be the republican nominee can make this a referendum on biden and his policies. not just his age. he is underwater on every single issue. there is not a single issue where the majority of americans think he is doing a good job. if we can wrap it around his neck republicans win. >> harris: he sits at 39% support. you saw every liberal network last night as i flipped around starting with that headline. they had it in there. he is in trouble. thank you for your thoughts on how republicans can take advantage of that. good to see you. thank you. a race against time to save an american explorer who is trapped thousands of feet below the surface of the earth. he is in a cave in turkey. the search and rescue efforts for the man from new jersey. plus business owners in austin, texas have had it with the city's spiraling criminal creels is. one austin business owner is dealing with it firsthand. business owners have had it. from new jersey half a world away in turkey trapped 3,000 feet below the surface of the earth inside a cave? american researcher mark dickey became ill during an expedition and has been unable to get out of the cave on his own for nearly a week. more than 150 rescue experts are working to save him. dickey has been posting video updates on how he is doing. >> as you can see, i'm up, alert, talking, but i'm not healed on the inside yet. i need a lot of help to get out of here. >> harris: senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot is in london and we might need a miracle. prayers for mark. greg. >> it is amazing stuff. it is truly a race against time to save the life of this american cave researcher. he is 40-year-old mark dickey. he works for a new jersey-based organization. now he is trapped over half a mile underground in a cave in southern turkey after suffering severe gastro intestinal illness. people are working to get him out. a stretcher with security lines through a complex series of narrow rock passages. good news his health appears to have been stabilized by doctors who have reached him. more of what he had to say about that. >> i do know that the quick response of the turkish government to get the medical supplies that i needed have saved my life. i was very close to the edge. >> i was very close to the edge. officials say it could take at least 3 to 4 days to get him out. normally if he was doing it unassisted it would take 15 hours. it will be a tag team of rescue squads making sure dickey is safe, secure, fed and medicated on his way up. a truly international and courageous effort. i think it is important to say, harris, mark dickey is no daredevil. he was on a research project when he fell ill. he specializes in rescue and first-aid underground. now he is getting the full emergency care and treatment. >> harris: god bless him. greg, thank you. people in austin, texas are blaming left wing policies for creating a culture of crime and fear. rampant homelessness and surging crime and businesses are making tough choices to survive. murders in austin are up 30% since 2020. aggravated assaults up by 18% since 2017. 800 officers have left the austin police department. the ones who remain paint a bleak picture. >> we are a growing city. a city that should be up around 2,000 officers and growing right now. i've got about 1475 officers in our police department. i have detectives pulled away from their caseload to just help answer 911 calls because we don't have the resources to adequately police the city. >> harris: an austin police are so swamped they are telling some people who have been robbed not to call 911 but to call 311 or make an online report. in other words, give information, help may not be coming right away. this person owns a business in austin. this is a bleak picture and you are living the reality. what's that like? >> honestly, harris, what you are seeing today now is progressive policies in action. austin city decided to buy the hotels around the city and turn them into homeless centers. it failed in california and yet our austin city counsel since it will be different. they are failing bigger and better every single time. the hotel pictures you are seeing is right next to our business that they've turned into a homeless center and being broken into a vandalized. this is a reality. the crime is up. we don't have -- we have police shortages around the city. and if there is crime happening. there the break-ins happening. turn stolen. call 311 or report to 311. >> harris: excuse me one second. i want to tell everybody you sent us your own video and so people jumping fences as they take things, that sort of thing. and they put a homeless shelter right next door to you and you are witnessing so much. so i just wanted to focus in on that. please continue and tell us if you can how you will survive this as a business owner? >> hair irks it is very hard, you know. it drives away business. we have had to hire our own security and the people jumping i would say, you know, the hotel policies have failed everywhere. most people when you put the homeless in a hotel usually they experience damage after they are put into. these people jumping, the hotel is not open and fully vandalized and still set to open next year. we constantly see trespassers. it is non-stop. we have to be so vigilant. staff is always on stand by looking for people that are shady in the parking lot. congregation brings up homeless encampments close to the businesses. it is a nightmare right now in austin to survive to be a business owner. or a resident. what austin city council has done they put the hotels in the middle of neighborhoods and putting it in a different county. so they don't have a plan and it's the reality we're living. >> harris: they have do have a plan. leftist policies and it is breaking you. look, i know you are spending a fortune on security. keep us posted how you do as a business owner. thank you very much for telling your story today. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus."
