A LIGHT ON THAT AND JOINING ME
IN "FOCUS."
HAVE A BLESSED TODAY.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Harris: FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR
JOE CONCHA AND MEDIA.
THAT WAS A TOUGH TECHNICAL FETE.
THERE WAS A LOT COMING OUT.
WHEN YOU HEAR THE SHERIFF FROM
NORTH CAROLINA TALK ABOUT THE
NUMBER OF OVERDOSES AND THE WAY
THAT HIS PEOPLE, HIS CITIZENS
THAT HE IS SERVICING.
ROCKING HAM IS NOT AN ENORMOUS
COUNTY.
THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
ADDICTION BUT THE DRUGS FLOWING
IN, CHINA HAS GOT THIS.
THEY ARE WORKING THIS OVER.
THEY ARE KILLING OUR PEOPLE.
>> THAT’S WHERE FENTANYL IS
CREATED IN CHINA.
GOES TO MEXICO AND ACROSS THE
BORDER AND INTO COMMUNITIES.
100,000 PEOPLE DIED LAST YEAR
FROM OVERDOSES.
THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 49,
NOT SUICIDE, NOT COVID, IT’S
OVERDOSES.
THIS IS A CATASTROPHE AND WE
BARELY HEAR THE ADMINISTRATION
TALKING ABOUT IT.
>> Harris: WHEN YOU ATTACH
CHINA’S GOVERNMENT.
THEY HATE US SO MUCH THAT THEY
WOULD KEEP SECRET COVID-19
UNTIL THEY COULD VACUUM UP ALL
THE PPE THEY COULD AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC, THIS
IS EVIL.
NOW THREE HITTING US THIS WAY.
I DON’T BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES.
YOU DO HIT PEOPLE WHEN THEY’RE
DOWN AND THEY’RE HITTING US.
>> YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DYING NOT
BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE TAKING FENTANYL.
TAKING FENTANYL.
THEY THINK THEY ARE TAKING
OXYCODONE AND IT IS LACED WITH
FENTANYL.
WE NEED A FENTANYL CZAR.
>> Harris: WE HAVE A BORDER
CZAR.
>> WHO IS THAT AGAIN?
>> Harris: THE VICE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
HEARD HER TALK ABOUT THE DRUG
CRISIS AND THE BORDER.
YOU WON’T FIND HER TALKING
ABOUT THIS SORT OF THING.
>> Harris: I’M GLAD YOU WERE
HERE TO WATCH IT WITH ME.
I WANT TO GET TO THIS.
THE WHITE HOUSE ON JOE BIDEN
THE PRESIDENT NOW DAMAGE
CONTROL AGAIN.
FOR THE THIRD TIME HE RAISED
THE POSSIBILITY OF U.S.
MILITARY CONFLICT WITH CHINA IF
CHINA DECIDES IT WANTS TO
INVADE TAIWAN.
>> QUICKLY YOU DIDN’T WANT TO
GET INVOLVED IN THE UKRAINE
CONFLICT MILITARILY FOR OBVIOUS
REASONS.
ARE YOU WILLING TO GET INVOLVED
MILITARILY TO DEFEND TAIWAN IF
IT COMES TO THAT?
>> President Biden: YES.
>> YOU ARE.
>> President Biden: THAT’S A
COMMITMENT WE MADE.
>> Harris: THE PRESIDENT’S
COMMENTS SPARKED OUTRAGE FROM
BEIJING.
THE WHITE HOUSE WITH YET
ANOTHER WALK BACK SAID THIS AS
THE PRESIDENT SAID OUR POLICY
HAS NOT CHANGEDED.
HE REITERATED OUR COMMITMENT
UNDER THE TAIWAN RELATIONS ACT
TO PROVIDE TAIWAN WITH THE
MILITARY MEANS TO DEFEND ITSELF.
WE’LL TREAT THEM THE WAY WE’RE
TREATING UKRAINE AND HELP THEM
FIGHT THEIR OWN FIGHT BUT
THAT’S NOT WHAT THE PRESIDENT
SAID.
>> IT’S A LITTLE STRANGE TO SEE
HIS OWN WHITE HOUSE KIND OF
WALKING HIM BACK.
HE IS THE PRESIDENT, THEY’RE
NOT.
I THINK THAT ALL OF HIS KEY
PEOPLE ARE HARD LINE LEFT
WINGERS WHO ARE TERRIFIED OF
THE WORLD.
I THOUGHT BIDEN WAS RIGHT AND
HIS STAFF IS NUTS.
>> Harris: JOE.
>> I’VE SEEN THIS CHARACTERIZED
AS A CLUB BY THE PRESIDENT.
-- FLUB BY THE PRESIDENT.
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME HE SAID
WITHOUT AMBIGUITY IF CHINA
INVADES TAIWAN WE’LL ENGAGE
THEM MILITARILY.
CHINA HAS AN ACTIVE MILITARY
PERSONNEL OF MORE THAN 2
MILLION PEOPLE.
ALL PRESIDENT XI HEARS IS WHAT
THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT IS
SAYING NOT PEOPLE AT THE WHITE
HOUSE CLARIFYING WHAT HE IS
SAYING.
THIS AGAIN IS -- IT WAS FUNNY
SOMETIMES WHEN JOE BIDEN HAD
GAFFES IN THE PAST.
NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OUR
NATIONAL SECURITY.
SO WHEN HE SAYS ONE THING AND
THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS ANOTHER
THAT MIXED MESSAGING INSPIRES
NO CONFIDENCE.
>> Harris: WHY CAN’T HE CLEAN
UP HIS OWN MESSES?
>> I THINK HE BELIEVES WHAT HE
SAYS.
HE SHOULD BE REPRIMANDING.
I THINK HE IS SAYING WHAT HE
ACTUALLY FEELS, RIGHT?
BUT THEN WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE
AT THE WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING NO
THIS IS WHAT WE’RE REALLY DOING.
IN OTHER WORDS, WHO IS IN
CHARGE IS THE QUESTION.
>> Harris: SOMEBODY HAS TO LIE
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
YOU CAN’T HAVE TWO OPPOSITE
THINGS BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME
AND ONLY SO MANY TIMES YOU CAN
BE WRONG.
THIS IS THE THIRD.
>> BY THE WAY, JOE BIDEN IN THE
PAST HAS BEEN WRONG MANY TIMES
ON FOREIGN POLICY.
REMEMBER WHAT HIS OWN DEFENSE
SECRETARY IN THE OBAMA-BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION SAID.
ROBERT GATES.
BIDEN HAS BEEN WRONG ON NEARLY
EVERY MAJOR FOREIGN POLICY AND
NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE OVER
THE PAST FOUR DECADES F. THE
PRESIDENT IS GOING ON HIS
INSTINCTS TAKE ON CHINA IF THEY
GO INTO TAIWAN.
THAT HASN’T WORKED OUT TOO WELL
ACCORDING TO HIS OWN SECRETARY
FROM A FEW YEARS AGO.
>> Harris: THERE IS SO MUCH
THERE.
I DON’T CARE WHAT HE BELIEVES,
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE
GOING TO DO.
HIS WORDS DON’T MATTER TO ME IF
THE WHITE HOUSE CAN’T EVEN BE
IN CONCERT WITH WHAT HE IS
SAYING.
WE TONIGHT KNOW WHAT ACTION
THEY WOULD TAKE.
>> LET’S HEARD FROM LLOYD
AUSTIN.
>> Harris: WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER
ABSOLUTELY.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS HIT A
DUBIOUS MILESTONE.
100 DAYS WITHOUT A SIT DOWN
INTERVIEW WITH THE MEDIA.
HE HAS TAKEN QUESTIONS FROM
REPORTERS BUT HIS LAST ONE,
ONE-ON-ONE SIT DOWN WITH A
MEMBER OF THE PRESS WAS
FEBRUARY 10th WITH NBC LESTER
HOLT AHEAD OF THE SUPER BOWL.
SINCE TAKING OFFICE, PRESIDENT
BIDEN HAS GIVEN ONLY 23 MEDIA
INTERVIEWS AND SAME POINT
DONALD TRUMP HAD DONE 95,
BARACK OBAMA HAD DONE 187.
BARACK OBAMA HAD A FRIENDLY
MEDIA.
SO IT WASN’T THAT PAINFUL. THE WAY SOME OF THE PENTAGON
THE WAY SOME OF THE PENTAGON
PRESS BRIEFINGS AFGHANISTAN
AFTER’S HORRIBLE WITHDRAWAL
WITH THE DEATH OF OUR MILITARY
MEN AND WOMEN, IT HASN’T BEEN
AS EASY FOR BIDEN AS THEY
THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.
LESTER HOLT EVEN HIT HIM.
>> IT’S WHEN THE PRESIDENT’S
POLL NUMBERS BEGAN TO GO DOWN
AND INFLATION AND CRIME
CONTINUED TO SKYROCKET AND THE
BORDER CONTINUED TO GET WORSE
AND WHY HE HAS GONE DOWN.
A LOSE/LOSE SITUATION FOR THE
PRESIDENT’S HANDLERS.
IF THEY PUT HIM OUT THERE WE
SEE THE CLEAN-UPS OR HE MAY SAY
THINGS THAT ARE DISHONEST.
LAST WEEK HE SAID THERE WAS NO
VACCINE WHEN HE ENTERED OFFICE
AND THEN LITERALLY THERE IS HIM
GETTING A SHOT IN THE ARM A
MONTH BEFORE HE TOOK OFFICE.
AND THEN HE ALSO SAID THAT THE
BEST WAY TO LOWER INFLATION IS
TO RAISE TAXES ON CORPORATIONS.
WHICH ANY SANE OR SOBER
ECONOMIST WILL TELL YOU THAT’S
NOT HOW IT WORKS.
SO WHEN HE SPEAKS, HE SAYS
THINGS THAT ARE EITHER
MISLEADING OR DISHONEST AND
WHEN HE DOESN’T SPEAK HE LOOKS
AFRAID.
WE’RE IN AN ELECTION YEAR.
WHEN YOU CAN’T PUT THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OUT IN FRONT OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE
RUNNING FROM SOMETHING.
>> Harris: THE WHITE HOUSE
WANTS TO HELP THE DEMOCRATS IN
STATES.
I DON’T KNOW WHO WANTS HIM WITH
THE POLL NUMBERS.
LET’S SEE WHO WILL TAKE THE HIT
OUT AND SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT.
>> THE DEMOCRAT IN OHIO WON’T
TAKE THE INVITATION NOR DID
STACEY ABRAMS.
>> Harris: WE CALLED HER FROM
"THE FAULKNER FOCUS" AND ASKED
ABOUT WHY SHE DIDN’T MEET THE
PRESIDENT A FEW MONTHS AGO.
