>> Harris: FINALLY THE PRESIDENT
IS SET TO MEET WITH HOUSE
SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY AND OTHER
CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS TODAY.
THE TOPIC, OF COURSE, THE
LOOMING DEBT DEFAULT.
THE TREASURY SECRETARY WARNING
THE NATION COULD BE UNABLE TO
PAY ITS BILLS BY JUNE 1ST.
THEY HAVE TO NEGOTIATE ON
CAPITOL HILL AT THIS POINT.
THEY HAVE TO FIND A SOLUTION.
REPUBLICANS DID THEIR JOB AND
PUT A DEAL ON THE TABLE LED BY
SPENDING CUTS.
THE WHITE HOUSE WANTS THE DEBT
CEILING RAISED WITHOUT ANY
CONDITIONS.
NO CUTS, NOTHING.
AND IT IS ACCUSING REPUBLICANS
OF MANUFACTURING A CRISIS.
HERE IS SENATOR TOM COTTON OF
ARKANSAS.
>> THE IDEA THAT ALWAYS INCREASE
THE DEBT CEILING WITH NO
SPENDING REFORMS OR ANY OTHER
MEASURES INCLUDED.
THAT IS AHISTORICAL.
IT IS SAYING WE SHOULDN’T HAVE A
DEBT CEILING.
EVERY TIME THE DEBT CEILING IS
COMING UP WE’LL LIFT IT.
WHAT JOE BIDEN WILL HAVE TO SIT
DOWN WITH SPEAKER MCCARTHY AND
REACHED A RESPONSIBLE SOLUTION
THAT INCREASES THE DEBT CEILING
BUT ADDRESSES OUR RUNAWAY
SPENDING.
>> Harris: A NEW OP-ED ARGUES
NO, THE CONSTITUTION COST NOT
LET BIDEN SPEND AT WILL,
COMPROMISE ON THE DEBT CEILING
ALREADY.
IN "FOCUS" NOW SENATOR RON
JOHNSON.
REPUBLICAN OF WISCONSIN.
MEMBER OF THE HOMELAND SECURITY
BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEES.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN "FOCUS."
FIRST OF ALL, WHAT NEEDS TO
HAPPEN AT THIS MEETING WITH THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
>> WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN, AS YOU
MENTIONED, THE HOUSE PASSED A
MORE THAN REASONABLE PACKAGE OF
SPENDING RESTRAINT. THE PRO-GROWTH ELEMENTS.
THE PRO-GROWTH ELEMENTS.
AND ALSO INCREASE THE DEBT
CEILING TO AVERT A FAKE CRISIS.
NO WAY WITH RESPONSIBLE TREASURY
SECRETARY AND RESPONSIBLE
PRESIDENT WE WOULD EVER DEFAULT.
THIS IS A PHONY CRISIS BUT
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS IN
WASHINGTON.
THEY SHOULD PASS THE HOUSE BILL.
IT COULD BE OVER AND WE COULD
START RESPONSIBLY PASSING
APPROPRIATION BILLS.
RESTORE SOME FUNCTION TO
CONGRESS.
BUT AGAIN THIS PLACE IS SO
UNBELIEVABLY DYSFUNCTIONAL AND
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CONTINUES
TO PROP UP THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION AND TALKING ABOUT
IT TURNING INTO A CRISIS.
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE SO.
>> Harris: THE CRISIS IS QUITE
REAL IF THE PRESIDENT DOESN’T
GET HIS ACT TOGETHER AND DO WHAT
HE HAS TO DO.
HOW CAN THEY SAY THEY’LL VETO
SOMETHING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
WHEN I’M NOT EVEN CONVINCED
EVERYBODY HAS READ IT?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL HAS TO BE
PASSED BY THE SENATE.
TAKEN UP BY CHUCK SCHUMER.
UNDERSTAND HOW REASONABLE THIS
IS.
SENATE WERE WORKING WITH
CONSERVATIVES IN THE HOUSE
URGING THEM TO COME UP WITH
THINGS WE COULD ATTACH TO THE
DEBT CEILING TO INCREASE THE
DEBT CEILING AND INSTITUTE
FISCAL CONTROL.
HOUSE CONSERVATIVES WERE
REASONABLE IN PASSING WHAT THEY
PASSED.
WE MADE MORE THAN ENOUGH
CONCESSION.
I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN TO A
BASELINE BASED ON PRE-PANDEMIC
LEVELS.
WE SPENT 4.4 TRILLION PRIOR TO
THE PANDEMIC RECESSION.
DURING THE RECESSION OVER 6
TRILLION.
WE RETURNED IN THIS BILL TO A
BASELINE OF 2022.
IT IS BETTER THAN WHAT BIDEN
WANTS TO DO BUT A LONG WAY FROM
WHERE WE NEED TO GO.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN HERE IS THE
SENATE SHOULD PASS THE HOUSE
BILL AND PRESIDENT SHOULD SIGN
IT AND WE WOULD BE DONE WITH
THIS.
>> Harris: IT IS QUITE
CONVINCING WHEN YOU SEE
DEMOCRATS ALSO PUTTING SOME
PRESSURE ON THIS PRESIDENT.
THEY CAN SEE THIS PRESIDENT
ACTUALLY TAKING US RIGHT UP TO
THE BRINK AND THEY DON’T WANT
THAT TO HAPPEN.
THEY DON’T WANT A MANUFACTURED
CRISIS TO BECOME A REAL ONE.
BUT THEN YOU HAVE THE PRESIDENT
WHO HAS ALREADY SAID HE WON’T
NEGOTIATE AND THAT’S WHY I
WONDER IF HE HAS EVEN READ IT.
EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING THAT
THEY WOULD SAY WHEN SOMEONE PUTS
A BILL ON THE TABLE, EVEN A
14-PAGE OUTLINE THAT AOC PUT ON
FOR GREEN ENERGY.
EVERYBODY HAD SOMETHING TO SAY
ABOUT IT.
THIS IS LONGER THAN THAT, OF
COURSE.
THE PRESIDENT ONCE AGAIN
INSISTING HIS SON HAS DONE
NOTHING WRONG.
AHEAD OF POSSIBLE FEDERAL
CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR HUNTER
BIDEN.
CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR JONATHAN
TURLEY SAID JOE BIDEN SAYS
HUNTER HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG,
REALLY?
HE LAYS OUT A HOST OF EVIDENCE
POINTING TO CRIMINAL ACTS.
ARGUES THE TAX AND GUN CHARGES,
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS HAVE BEEN
INVESTIGATING, ARE ONLY THE
BEGINNING.
HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIRMAN JAMES
COMER SAID HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES
PLAN TO DROP A BOMBSHELL.
SOME EVIDENCE AGAINST HUNTER AND
THE BIDEN FAMILY TOMORROW.
LET’S WATCH.
>> IT WILL BE JUDGMENT DAY
TOMORROW FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH THE FACTS.
THE FACTS ABOUT WHAT THE BIDEN
FAMILY HAS BEEN DOING.
WE’LL PRESENT BANK RECORDS
TOMORROW.
WE’LL ALSO TALK ABOUT THE
DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT THEY WERE
TAKING MONEY FROM.
THEIR TIES TO FOREIGN NATIONALS
IN SOME OF THE WORST COUNTRIES
ON THE PLANET.
AND I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WILL HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR
JOE BIDEN.
>> Harris: THE U.S. ATTORNEY
INVESTIGATING THAT TAX AND GUN
CASE IS EXPECTED AT ANY POINT TO
ANNOUNCE WHETHER HE WILL FILE
CHARGES.
SENATOR JOHNSON, I’M HEARING IT
FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.
IF YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING, START
SUBPOENAING PEOPLE.
THE DEMOCRATS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE
THE PRESIDENT’S APPROVAL RATING
IS SO LOW.
HOW CAN THEY RUN HIM IF THEY
CAN’T MOVE FORWARD?
WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT, WILL AHEAD
AND BRING FORTH AND SUBPOENA
PEOPLE?
>> SENATOR GRASSLEY AND I LAID
OUT AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS ANYBODY
WOULD NEED TO LAY OUT THAT THE
BIDEN FAMILY IS CORRUPT,
PRESIDENT BIDEN WOULD BE HIGHLY
COMPROMISED.
THE CORRUPT MEDIA CENSORED IT
AND REELECTED PRESIDENT BIDEN.
HERE WE ARE.
ONE THING WE DON’T TALK ENOUGH
ABOUT.
I KNOW PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SO
PROUD OF HIS SON.
WE HAVE THE EVIDENCE THAT HUNTER
BIDEN PAID FOR -- PAID TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR
PROSTITUTES THAT WERE SEX
TRAFFICKED THROUGH AN
INTERNATIONAL SEX TRAFFICKING
RING.
YES, ICK.
PRESIDENT BIDEN OFFERED TO PAY
FOR $1 HUNDRED THOUSAND OF
HUNTER BIDEN’S BILLS WHEN HE WAS
SPENDING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS ON THESE WOMEN WHO ARE
SEX TRAFFICKED.
NOW, THAT IS AT A MINIMUM
MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE AND WRONG.
THE PRESIDENT IS DEFENDING?
>> Harris: WOULDN’T THAT BE A
FELONY IF YOU DO BUSINESS WITH A
SEX TRAFFICKING RING?
THAT’S MORE THAN ETHICALLY
OFFENSIVE.
>> IT IS GROTESQUE BUT THE MEDIA
DOESN’T CONCENTRATE ON IT.
WE HAD IT IN OUR REPORT.
WE HAD THE FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS PROOFING IT.
JAMES COMER DOES THE SAME THING.
IT IS SO ICKY PEOPLE DON’T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
IT IS GALLING TO HEAR THE
PRESIDENT TALK ABOUT HOW PROUD
HE IS OF HUNTER.
HE ENABLES THIS.
HE ENABLES IT BY PROPPING UP HIS
SON BOTH IN TERMS OF THOSE TYPES
OF WORDS AS WELL AS FINANCIALLY.
IT A PRETTY SICK.
>> Harris: THE IRONY IN WHAT YOU
SHARED.
THE PRESIDENT’S SON WANTED TO
FIGHT HIS CHILD SUPPORT BECAUSE
THE FAMILY DOESN’T WANT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT CHILD AS
LEGITIMATE.
THE IRONY WOULD BE IS WHAT IF
THAT CHILD -- YOU SAID
PROSTITUTES PAID FOR BY HUNTER
BIDEN, THAT GOING THROUGH A SEX
TRAFFICKING RING, SO HOW DOES
THE FAMILY NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT
IF THEY ARE DENYING A BABY THAT
POTENTIALLY CAME FROM THAT VERY
SOURCE?
I KNOW -- WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE
DON’T KNOW BUT THAT WAS QUITE A
BOMBSHELL YOU JUST DROPPED AND
YOU ARE RIGHT.
PEOPLE AREN’T READING DEEP
ENOUGH.
WHEN THEY DO, THEY DON’T REPORT
IT.
WE WILL DEFINITELY DO THAT.
IT IS VERY ICKY BUT THOSE ARE
THE FACTS.
>> IT MOVES AGAIN HOW MORALLY
BANKRUPT THE BIDEN FAMILY IS AND
PRESIDENT BIDEN.
I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN.
REGARDLESS HOW THEY WERE
CONCEIVED IF IT WAS PROVEN I HAD
A GRANDCHILD I WOULD DO
EVERYTHING I COULD TO HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT
GRANDCHILD TO MAKE SURE THEY
WERE TAKEN CARE OF.
PRESIDENT BIDEN JUST WANTS TO
COMPLETELY IGNORE THE EXISTENCE
OF A GRANDCHILD.
