i want to share it with virus at home. check it out. this is a live camera in big bear valley, california. that's the san bernardino mountains. i believe that's jackie. her mate is shadow. jackie laid three eggs at the end of january. >> aishah: which is rare. >> bill: usually it's two. so starting february 29th, leap day is the window where we could see the hatch. >> aishah: you can look at this live cam every day. your mom was looking at it. hi, mama hemmer. >> bill: if you want to go to friends of big bear valley.org you can watch that. a beautiful live look. >> aishah: what will we name them? you'll be an uncle. >> bill: we'll come up with a

view by tomorrow. >> harris: we'll start off with breaking news. top congressional leaders heading into the white house this hour. president biden is trying to see if he can save cash for ukraine to fight its war with russia as we've been reporting, many house republicans are standing firm against democrats on this. and it actually is just one of the issues that could lead to a government shutdown. here is how it is all unfolding right now. the big four leaders, house speaker mike johnson, house democrat leader hakeem jeffries, chuck schumer, mitch mcconnell. all set to sit down with president biden this hour. the last time this group met was in mid-january to talk about how to break a stalemate over border policy and foreign aid. the border is still wide open to our peril. why they didn't look at republicans' house bill hr2 that

has been in the senate since may of last year, when you run into a democratic leader we'll all ask them. if the big four and president biden today don't reach spending agreements, and it doesn't happen until friday night even, a partial shutdown will happen. on march 8th we could see the entire government shutting down. we'll bring you all the latest from the white house as soon as this begins. as we often say at the heart of everything right now is our national security. biden's border disaster. we expect those leaders will hit that topic, too. the president finally is planning a visit, after more than a year, of that disaster at the border. when this will be his third time in three-plus years. it has cooked on a hot flame under his presidency. former president trump will also be at the border, different city, same day, both of them will be in texas on the border.

biden says he had no idea trump was going. okay. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." the president will be in eagle pass, as i mentioned, so they aren't in the same place at the same time but the same state. 13 months ago he made a one-hour stop in el paso. they cleaned up everything and forensicly ready and nothing was happening at the border was the message. not before officials again made it pretty for a photo op did he show up. donald trump that day will speak in brownsville. biden's destination has been a big slowdown and illegal crossing in recent months. trump's location is seeing more than twice that number in the same time frame. so far, we've gotten very few details on biden's trip but we can probably bet he will bring his blame game with him. the president of the national border patrol council with this.

>> everything that he does is too little too late at this point. he had three years to do what he needed to do to secure the border. he had three years to put policies in place. now we're only eight months from an election and now it looks like he is interested and only interested in it because it's self-serving and he wants to save himself. >> harris: of course, the white house is finger pointing. >> he was able to move the ball forward in the senate to get a bipartisan negotiation on the border, security deal. that was rejected by republicans because of the last president and president trump to be exact. it passed out of the senate and now needs to go to the house. >> harris: the community of athens, georgia and beyond reeling as a result of the border crisis. horrible new information on laken riley, the 22-year-old nursing student found dead after going for a run near campus. an autopsy showed blunt force trauma to her head killed her.

in fact, somehow the killer disfigured her skull in that attack. the suspect charged with her murder is an illegal immigrant with a rap sheet yet allowed to stay in the country. in "focus" fox news contributor steve hilton. let's go to rich edson first at the white house. a bevy of activity going on there. >> there really is, harris. on that case the white house is pointing to local law enforcement and ice when it comes to that particular case. the white house spokesperson says we would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved once of laken riley and folks should be held to the fullest extent of the law if found guilty. a new gallup poll says 28% of americans find immigration the most important thing going on. the first time in five years

immigration has ranked first on this list. the white house says the president on his border trip will press house republicans to pass the bipartisan senate border bill that includes more known for border security and aid to israel and ukraine. the republicans contain they can reverse the orders on border enforcement. >> i'm here to tell the you when donald trump is reelected. i believe he will be reelected in november, when he comes back into office in january, we'll see the numbers plummet again because what it takes is a president willing to enforce the law. >> democrats say republicans refuse to pass the bill they negotiated to rob president biden of a political win. they argue the southern border needs more than just security. >> we have all different kinds of chaos and challenges from not having enough immigration judges to not investing in technology that can help us screen for fentanyl that i voted for. we need to do more on. we haven't kept our promise to

dreamers. all of these things come together to create the kind of chaotic immigration policies we see. >> president biden meets with congressional lieders this hour talking about government funding. we'll see if border comes up. >> harris: significant new polling on the border crisis now. immigration is now the top issue for voters in nearly five years. we learned that from the primary season, right? iowa, new hampshire, americans are seeing what is happening. south carolina. another poll finds 61% see illegal immigration as a very serious problem. more than half. for the first time ever, a majority now support building donald trump's border wall. steve hilton, fox news contributor. so things have gone so badly that democrats, republicans, independents, voters who take part in these surveys are all saying the same thing. we would rather have donald trump's wall and policies to

whatever biden is doing now. >> exactly. you know what is so absolutely infuriating and tragic at the same time about all this. it is taking us right back to 2015, 2016 when these issues were so prominent in our national conversation and donald trump focused on them and made them the centerpiece of his campaign and then he got elected and he started implementing his promises. the border wasn't perfect in the trump administration but it was controlled and secure and people were vetted. in comes biden and almost overnight reverses all of that. now we're right back to where we were five or six years ago. more than that. eight years ago. people are furious rightly about it. >> harris: i want to know how in the world biden convinced democrats that even parting with obama's deporter in chief reputation, his policies, former president obama's policies breaking with one of the most

popular democrats in u.s. history for them was a good idea? who was listening to biden on the border? had they not looked at 50 years of his foreign policy? >> actually this is the central question. the most important thing we have to remember. none of this is some kind of policy accident or just incompetence on the part of the administration. it is all deliberate and it is all driven by the far left ideology that has captured the democratic party. biden because he is just a weak machine politician who goes along with anything. he just fell in line with the far left ideology. we saw it applied in all sorts of areas, not just the border but also in crime, on climate policy on everything. they've gone to the far left. the border was a simple idea, any kind of control of the border, any kind of management of the border is equivalent to racism.

that's what they believe. and biden just went along with it. now you are seeing the consequences. at the 11th hour before an election when it hits them in the face they're finally saying we better do something. this is deliberate. this is the far left ideology in action. >> harris: i'm not convinced they care anything about racism and knocking down racial issues. you have a president who said if you didn't vote for him when he was a candidate you weren't black. you have a president who has put black and brown people coming across that border in jeopardy, women and children, by letting it just lay wide open. you would have to go really far to convince me that was a goal. politically what you are saying is right. let's keep the heat on now. they had a bill they could have looked at since last may. marsha blackburn was in "focus" yesterday talking about the stand alone bill not tied to ukraine and everything else. it was a stand alone. they could have talked about it. it stalled in the senate.

it is the next year. it is february of 2024. watch. >> hr2, that bill landed in the u.s. senate on may 15th of 2023. we have had over 80 meetings and hearings of the senate judiciary committee since that bill landed in the senate. we have talked about let's bring about immigration and the border. why didn't they take up hr2? if they didn't like the bill amend it and put in provisions that would actually secure the border. but this administration has wanted an open border. that has been their policy. >> harris: they have had 80 meetings on everything else and every time it was brought up it was no, no, no, we won't talk about the border. >> again, remind -- that reminds us of a really important point in all of this when they try to pretend they are actually taking

action. marsha blackburn said it well. they could have done it for years but they didn't. the only thing that brought them to the table was the republican demand that this is connected to ukraine funding. that's the only thing that got them talking in congress and got some movement. so that tells you their priorities. it is outrageous. the other point that was touched on earlier by rich if his report is that all these things that have made the border wide open and brought millions and millions of unvetted people into our country. all of that was done without any action from congress. it was all done directly by the biden administration through executive actions. if they can open the border without congress, why can't they close it without congress? >> harris: preach it. it is so true. if he could flip the switch on 94 executive actions and orders by trump, can't he flip it back to make us safe again? i will ask my team to go back to

that picture of hugh -- what couple yeah, california. they are not even smuggling people. they are walking across the border now. they are smuggling fentanyl. the president is going to brownsville, texas. that was at one point one of those areas where they saw a lot of activity. now they see between 20400 a day. in parts like eagle pass, texas, along the way the last three years we've seen as many as 10,000 a day. he is again just like he did months ago in el paso is going to a place that will be swept clean for his eyes only to see that not much is happening. take him to where this line of people is. take him to san diego. take him to where people are coming in and let him see how many chinese nationals are coming in for money and laughing at us and oh, look how you do

this on tiktok and making themselves famous. why don't you take him to where the problem is? the former president will be in eagle pass, texas where we still have thousands of people coming over. >> the reason they don't. this is not about solving the problem but looking like he is solving the problem. he wants to go somewhere to point to say it's not as bad as people say. the things we're doing are making it better. the thing said about the queen of england. everywhere she went she thought everywhere in the country smelled of fresh paint. every place she visited they just painted the place. it's like that with biden. they will never show him the real problem. it is all p.r, just rubbish. you won't get the problem solved until you get someone in office who really believes in securing the border. >> harris: yeah. steve hilton, thank you for that example. i would imagine there will be parts of brownsville that might smell like fresh paint or at

least the metaphor there. hunter biden is set to be under oath tomorrow on capitol hill and why his closed-door deposition could be the most significant event so far in his dad's impeachment inquiry. plus the first major battleground state in the presidential primaries is voting right now. you are looking live at grand rapids, michigan. michigan could spell trouble for president biden. >> it will be quite an embarrassment for the current president. if i had to predict i think it is a good possibility that he will get more uncommitted votes than for joe biden. >> we'll get into why those people are calling themselves uncommitted and what it could mean in the general election. power panel next.

>> harris: and you are looking live right now where the big four that i mentioned, two leaders from the house, two leaders from the senate, bipartisan are meeting with the president trying to avoid a shutdown of the government but they are also really at the heart of it talking about issues like aid for ukraine and biden's border disaster. as they arrive we'll show you take live and they'll go in and meet with the president. it has been a while since they've done this. i mentioned earlier in the program not since mid-january. they'll try to get a deal. the partial shutdown begins this friday if they can't get a deal. so we'll stay on this. lawmakers sometimes what you can't see just out of sight.

our banner is covering it, are the microphones. this is the area where sometimes they will speak going in but usually talk when they come out. you won't miss the news. wanted to show you the live picture. they are due any moment now. polling indicates that former president donald trump will win today's michigan primary. he will get some delegates. even nikki haley could get some if she loses. we'll also cover that as it happens. on the other side, the battleground state of michigan could be a real test for president biden. so far him the big sticking issue is that he refuses to call for a cease-fire in the israel/hamas war. yesterday while eating ice cream he did say it could happen by the weekend. so what is happening with that? is he trying to keep some voters? here is the problem. michigan has a large arab american population angry enough

for what is happening in gaza to keep their votes to themselves and vote uncommitted. michigan's democrat governor with this. >> i think there will be a sizeable number of votes for uncommitted. i think that it is every person's right to make their statement about what's important to them. >> harris: former michigan democrat congressman andy levin supports the uncommitted idea. he says for biden it is not a political problem but the policy problem. when he met the political people to meet leaders in the arab muslim communities they said we're not meeting with you, that's insulting. gianno caldwell, mark penn, former clinton advisor. great to see you both. gianno, tell me about the perspective of the biden camp right now just in terms of how do they battle what's happening in michigan? >> in a really terrible set of

circumstances you mentioned the arab american muslims withholding their support and campaign ads you had a member of congress saying we'll be looking to november because you are not going to get our support. not only that, what is really interesting about michigan is all the places like for the teamsters is a good example. 56% of them in 2020 voted for joe biden to president. he will have to defend every battleground not just with independents and some republicans but he will have to try to defend himself in michigan. he have is in real trouble here if he loses michigan in the general election and i think that's what's going on here. they are taking it on all sides not to mention the voter. >> harris: we haven't gotten to the jewish vote in new york to be challenged as well. can we go back to the picture eating ice cream and that's where he was talking about these important, sobering issues that involve arab american muslim

communities and the jewish faith communities. just make that make sense. >> look, i think that the president has come out strongly for israel. i think what's happening here in michigan is a symbolic vote. there are people who disagree with his policy. i don't think those people will wind up voting for donald trump, or for republicans. >> harris: what if they stay home? >> it doesn't count. i don't think they'll stay home knowing that donald trump moved to embassy to jerusalem and is even stronger for israel. i think it is important to put in perspective. this is israel against hamas, not israel against the muslim or arab community. it is unfortunate that politics is playing a role here. the president is taking a clear moral stance on behalf of israel and i hope he sticks to it.

>> harris: what is going on yesterday when he said there could be a cease-fire by the weekend. you have policy to articulate without ice cream in your mouth. >> i'm not for ice cream articulation, i'll tell you that. he have is indicating there are serious negotiations. netanyahu is indicating there are serious negotiations. there could be a breakthrough here. >> harris: netanyahu said hamas isn't there yet. >> i don't think even if there is a cease-fire i don't think it takes it off the table as an issue for many of those americans who care about this. they'll look at it from the start of october 7th and what he has done, which again we can agree what's right and what's wrong. some folks view even supporting israel as wrong. so this will be an issue that continues, i think, even if there is a cease-fire. >> harris: it's an interesting point that you made there, mark, about well -- i was there when they opened the jerusalem u.s.

embassy and moved it there tel aviv. this president hasn't moved it back. as gianno is pointing out they have more than one or two issues to be upset with him about with the arab american muslim community. see how it plays out. the scene when the president arrived in new york city yesterday evening. [shouting] >> harris: it's not just michigan. police arrested anti-israel protestors ahead of biden's interview with late night host seth meyers. he didn't sit down with a journalist. the latest in a string of celebrity soft balls that we've seen. others include others with similar flavor. >> i do want to ask about says you are currently 81 years old. >> president biden: who the hell told you that? it's classified. >> all jokes aside this is a

real concern for american voters. how do you address that concern going forward as you come up to the 2024 election? >> president biden: a couple of things. number one you look at the other guy, he is as old as i am. number two, it's about how old your ideas are. >> harris: isn't that the same thing? when it comes to sitting down with the press, the president is way behind his predecessors at the same point in their terms. 22 interviews so far for biden including the celebrity sit-down, the chat boxes as i like to call them. why doesn't he do more of this? by the way, if he only did one all year he would have had the highest rated televised event in u.s. history at the super bowl. didn't do that one either, mark. >> well, i urged him to do the super bowl one. let's face it, campaigns want to control the message. they know when you go out in front of the press and take any question that anybody throws at you, you can lose control of

your message pretty easily. one wrong answer can karenna campaign. they are controlling the message and the way they'll run the campaign. they ran it last time and they won. >> harris: last quick thought. >> i'm reminded of a book you may know well called "you are the message." in the book it is more than just what he says. he was doing a meet and greet with bass and he had to hold onto a bannister to insure he wouldn't fall. he is losing on a lot of fronts. not looking too good for him even if trump doesn't do as well as some folks on your side are predicting. >> harris: great to see you both. i'll have you back. the republican v.p. stakes are on. people are saying they're ready to do the job of vice president for the trump. who some conservatives would like to see in the second position? black voters say some of them

are ready to make a serious change. >> we vote along party lines especially as african-americans. that needs to change. we need to start voting for people who are going to promote our self-interest. >> harris: donald trump and the republican are pushing hard to win over minority support and making significant progress. senator tim scott. one of the names being talked about to maybe be with the president in "focus" next. glad to have him. with cpap anymore. she looks great. i got inspire. great sleep at the click of a button. did she get implants? yeah, i got an implant, sheila!! it's inspire. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com >> woman: what's my safelite story? i see inspiration right through my glass. so when my windshield cracked, i chose safelite. they replaced the glass and recalibrated my safety system. that's service i can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

>> we're so angry here in chicago, which has been a democratic stronghold for most of its eternity, we have to stop marrying ourselves to party. stop voting along ethnic lines because we're seeing that that is not working for us. and so that is why i will be

voting republican for the first time. >> harris: well, that chicago voter was with me last week. she has a lot of pickup. that went viral. a lot of people talking about what she said on "focus." about that same time last week, former president trump was giving the keynote address to the black conservative federation. a top democrat admits it could be trouble for biden. >> i don't dismiss the issue of young black men, and i think that's something that the biden campaign and democrats need to keep an eye on. i don't think it's just, you know, a statistical blip. when this has been a trend line. >> harris: republican senator tim scott of the great state of south carolina. member of the foreign relations committee and former 2024 presidential candidate. great to have you in "focus" today. welcome. i want to jump right in here.

could you hear what the woman was saying? it is not just in that state but also in your home state. >> absolutely. >> harris: i just want to get your top line thought on all of it. >> without any question i went to the south side of chicago when i was running for president. the one thing i understood clearly with reverend brooks. black folks on the south side of chicago after 100 years of a monopoly of the democrat party are looking for results. we're talking about black history month. let's talk about black results. under president trump we were certainly better off. harris, you know the numbers. let me break them down quickly. number one, economically we had the lowest unemployment rate in the history of our country. but most importantly, the poorest americans at the bottom grew wages faster than at the top. we also saw -- here is the key. if, in fact, you have the kind

of economic policies that lead to success, leads to success for black and hispanic and asia and white folks. we don't want just black folks to do well in america, we want everyone to do well. we particularly want the lowest people to exceed the top. only under president trump have we seen that kind of success. beyond that, black schools, h b-cus received the highest level of funding ever and the first time in the history of the country president trump made it permanent. >> harris: it's interesting. much of the wider media legacy, liberal, that actually is part of black history month now. if they would talk about it. >> exactly. >> harris: we have both said this. it's american history, shared history together. >> yes. >> harris: high tide lifts all boats. >> absolutely. >> harris: i want the take with you a little bit about what's

happening in places like new york and chicago. i am reading the president might have a rally here in new york. what is he tapping into in communities of color that has their attention? >> two things. the frustration that comes from the last 3 1/2 years of delusion. the fact of the matter is that president biden has been delusional. he has assumed just because you are black you are supposed to be voting for democrats. he actually said you can't be black if you don't vote for a democrat. that's just insane. the other thing that president trump is tapping into is optimism. black americans like the rest of our country, we want to be more optimistic about our future, more optimistic about our kids' built to act seed our success. we need a president who believes in the future of america more than they do the past. president trump is talking to

specifically young americans, black, white, all of them about the fact that with him as our commander-in-chief we close our southern border, we have law and order in our streets and we invest in every single zip code quality education allowing every american to experience their american dream. >> harris: if he were to make it that far in november one of the things he will have to do something about, i would imagine, according to voters who don't want to pay off other people's loans the issue the current president has bucked the ruling of the u.s. and open up the coffers and pay off school loans. you were on the very short list. the president said so, to be his running mate on the ticket. i want to go into what is failing right now in that position. we can get the veepstakes in a moment. what do we have right now in a

vice president and what do you think is needed? >> well today if you look at vice president harris, the one thing you walked away with if she is the border czar she gets an f on her report card for securing our southern border. it is unsafe, insecure and wide open seeing 70,000 americans lose their lives because border czar harris has been completely mia. we also recognize the fact that here is the vice president that helped fund, bring money in to get someone out of jail who later charged with murder. we don't need a vice president who is meddling in legal affairs, raising money for someone latter charged with murder and we don't need a vice president who is focusing so little on the economy, so little on actual progress economically, that the greatest devastation to millennials, the inability to buy a house because inflation is

so high, interest rates are higher and that leads to no ability to afford a home. what you want in a vice president is the opposite. you want someone in charge of securing the southern border. >> harris: sometimes we'll scroll because her assigned duties have been given her are so long. one of the things she is doing lately is talking about abortion. they have tasked her with doing that. there is the scroll. i wasn't kidding. we are always looking for she is is -- in charge of artificial intelligence, too. we want our leaders to win no matter what party they are. the country needs a win at this point. it will be interesting to see how republicans come back on that issue of abortion. this tends to be a winner for the other side of the aisle. they have something to fight against. your last quick thought on that. >> i think president trump has said it well on this past friday

as relates to the alabama supreme court decision. he said very clearly we are going to protect ivf. we want to make sure little babies are born and ivf is an important part of the process. when you have the president of the united states standing firm for life and ivf you have a republican president who will be respected but more importantly speaking to the compassion on the issue. give a lot of props to senator katie britt who has dug into this issue and helped all of us see the issue clearly. i just am thankful to be part of a party that wants to protect life and make sure we have more little ones around the country. >> harris: can we roll former president trump on just what he said about veepstakes and then we'll go. let's give them a minute to give them up. i want to get your response. >> the greatest surrogate i've ever seen. he is a much better representative for me than he is

a representative for himself. and it's true. that's a great compliment. you know why? he is a high-quality person. he doesn't like talking about himself. >> harris: what was your reaction? >> very kind comments from the president. i certainly appreciate those comments. i will say without question when running for president one of the struggles was dissecting and making sure i didn't exalt myself too much so god humbles me. humility god harnesses the power and uses it for a better cause. to be honest i'm a big believer that all things work together for good. one of the things i hope is we get four more years of donald trump. think less about myself and think about the nation and hope we had the kind of success we can have 2017 to 2020 and now i hope from 2024 to 2029. thank you, ma'am, take care.

>> harris: well, this really seemed like a surprise in the fani willis misconduct hearing. she is the atlanta district attorney with the trump interference case alleged to having an affair with the man standing next to who was married at the time and still is.

the judge called back to the stand the man who was the former law partner and divorce attorney for nathan wade. it happens today at 2:00 p.m. eastern. he is the man on the far right. terrance bradley expected to be asked about wade's relationship with willis. lawyers for former president trump claim the two of them exchanged thousands of text messages and phone calls before she hired him. she being fani hired nathan to lead the election meddling case against trump. steve harrigan is in atlanta. boy, this has a lot of drama. >> it does, harris. players disappear and reappear. this is a surprise. bradley was supposed to be the star witness last week. instead he was a dud. he wouldn't say anything on the stand. he claims attorney/client privilege. they took him to the judge behind closed doors for an hour and a half and out he comes again this afternoon. defense hopes he will challenge willis and wade on their timeline. that he will say basically these

two lied under oath about when their relationship began. if that does happen the d.a. 's office could be in a lot of trouble. >> this is now much more serious for willis and wade. if the judge thinks they are perpetrating a fraud or lied under oath, not only could they be potentially charged criminally they could also be referred to the state bar for disciplinary proceedings. >> we could see fireworks today and friday when the judge decides whether or not to allow nathan wade's phone records into the case with thousands of phone calls and text messages between the two before they ever said they were involved in a relationship. harris, back to you. >> harris: that's the thing. they would have lied on the stand. so this just gets deeper. i don't know how this ends well for fani willis or nathan wade. the big question is does it make the trump case go away with this

much going on behind the scenes that was pressed up against are they doing their jobs? steve harrigan, thank you very much. the president of the united states in that leadership meeting. the four bipartisan leaders trying to keep the government from shutting down and at issue the border, of course, at the center of things. and aid for ukraine. it's been something they are grappling with. we have that. let's watch. >> president biden: we have a lot of work to do to figure out how we keep funding the government. an important solution we need to find. i think we can do that. and ukraine, i think the need is urgent. i hope we can speak to that a little bit and i think the consequence of inaction every day in ukraine are dire. i've been speaking to some of our g7 partners and you just got back. they're very concerned. also we need to -- we need in

terms of -- we need to deal with the israeli portion. that also contains a significant portion having to do with humanitarian assistance in the palestinian area that i think is important. and we have to replenish the air defenses for israel and we have to work on making sure they don't face the threat from -- they face a threat from what's going on in the middle east, not just from hamas but from iran and so -- government funding i'm sure you guys have all that taken care of. all kidding aside, congress's responsibility to fund the government. we have to get -- a shutdown would damage the economy significantly and we all agree to that and need a bipartisan solution. i want to hear from the group and i want to hear from all of you here. thank you all for coming. that's what we'll be talking about. thank you.

[shouted questions] >> president biden: we'll get a chance to talk afterwards. [continued shouted questions] >> thank you. thank you so much. thank you very much.

that's it for now. thank you so much. go straight out. >> harris: we probably didn't need to sit on that quite that long. i may talk to you later after it's all over. they weren't going to take any questions. sometimes, you never know. let's bring back gianno caldwell fox news political analyst. there are clearly a lot of questions that all reporters have at this point. i would imagine a lot of americans have them, too. and that would be what priorities are being set in this meeting? what are they really fighting over and sticking points? for this close to a partial shutdown on friday clearly there are some issues. >> there will be a lot of issues discussed. a lot of these problems start evidence on joe biden's watch. we didn't have iran using their proxy hezbollah attacking us over 100 times when president trump was in office. we didn't have an open border with 7 million people that we know about crossed over. we didn't have a lot of these issues that are impacting

american families like the overdosing from fentanyl. what we've seen under joe biden's watch is the decline of our country in many ways, which will have major ramifications on some of these things they'll discuss in this meeting and have major ramifications for the election next year. >> harris: the ukraine issue is kind of how we got here so we're told. if they hadn't rolled everything into the border issue maybe they would have been able to talk about what was actually happening at the border but they were busy haggling over how to get the pull-outs and set asides. hr2 given to the majority democrat senate last may. senator marsha blackburn told me it was always a stand alone bill. it didn't have all the adds of aid for this country and that country and indo-pacific is 5 billion. they had a bill they could have talked about that dealt exactly with the border. they could have worked something

out. it had an r by it and democrats sat down. >> that's right. i'm reminded of your interview with the chicago resident who said i've had enough. enough is enough. you are giving to everyone else but neglecting american citizens. yes. she was excellent. that message i think is true all across the country right now. people are wondering what about us right here in america? we're taking care of everyone else. we need to focus on us first. get things done, secure the border and insure that many of these migrants who shouldn't be here are sent back home. >> harris: you are from chicago so you know that there are democrat-led pockets in this country of communities of color and i say plural. we're not all the same. we have different needs and desires. but we share the american dream. above all, we are americans. and so when you look at that and look at what is happening in new york city here and the crimes

against police officers being beaten up in the streets, times square. when you look at things coming apart as a society, what sense does it make to have this president go to an area of the border where it's not an epicenter anymore if brownsville. the cartels game us out. we're like puppets. they've moved on from that area and now over in san diego in california. what difference does it make to have them go down there. what really needs to happen? >> first and foremost he is doing this for the press. his spokesperson can go on television and say he has been to the border and takes this issue seriously when he absolutely does not and has not taken the issue seriously until it began to impact him with black voters and others who said enough is enough. what he needs to do is bring back the trump policies. i know he said a lot of negative things about it when he was running the last time. people now see absent the trump policies what we have.

and what we have is many cities across the country that are declining rapidly. they are losing resources. this has become a multi-billion dollar issue for many locations that don't have the money. now he needs to act and be brave and he needs to look at the left flank, the aoc's of the world and say enough is enough. i will support the american people and not your liberal ideology. will that happen? i doubt it. >> harris: we'll see what happens and how far republicans are willing to take this and cover every moment of it. thank you for being with me for the breaking news. the president in the white house today with the big four, house and senate leaders from each party. and can they reach a deal by friday? gianno blessing to >> harris: courtroom drama surrounding fani willis and her prosecutor paramour as i call
