The Faulkner Focus 12/14/24 FULL END SHOW | BREAKING FOX NEWS december 14, 2024

24 nights in a row drones have appeared in the skies that state law enforcement is now saying are operating on a frequency they cannot detect this is a national security concern it's happening mostly in the state of New Jersey yes in the county and areas near where incoming president Donald Trump has a home Bedminster lawmakers Americans across the country want answers we get nothing I'm Harris fauler you are in the fauler focus the drones are violating multiple FAA regulations now if you and I did that the feds would come after us who put the drones

in the sky you know on this program we've had some people tell us the agency states that drones can only fly up to 400 fet in the sky and must weigh fewer than 55 lbs these unidentified drones are also operating as I said in an undetectable Manner and they do not keep their lights on when approached okay so if you go near them they obviously are motion sensitive and can disappear and by the way you've been hearing us say it some of them are the size of an SUV also they are illegal fines for those

breaking the rules can run up to 75 ,000 New Jersey Congressman Jeff vandrew on the focus with me yesterday made worldwide news with this Iran launched a mother ship probably about a month ago that contains these drones that mothership is off I'm going to tell you the deal it's off the east coast of the United States of America they've launched drones is everything that we can see or here and again these are from high sources I don't say this lightly know that Iran made a deal with China to purchase drones motherships and technology in order

to go forward um the sources I have are good they can't reveal who they are because they are speaking to me in confidentiality these drones should be shot down whether it was some crazy hobbyist that we can't imagine or whether it is Iran and I think it very possibly could be they should be shot down we are not getting the full deal and the military is on alert with this I kept pressing yesterday he wasn't the only lawmaker to tell me that I'll get to that in a second meanwhile the Pentagon was taking questions on

it our own Jennifer Griffin ask and the Pentagon claims van Drew is wrong we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary there is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States and there's no so-called Mothership launching drones towards the United States Representative Tony Gonzalez of the state of Texas was on with me later in the day when I filled in on the story from Martha mcallum he said that he also has been talking with people at high levels High highly regarded sources about

an Iranian Mothership off the coast of the Eastern Seaboard he said that without refutable information that all is on the table but he also is having those conversations just like representative Jeff Andrew and I'll continue to push the New York Post cover with a play on the classic film Close Encounters of the turnpike as in the New Jersey Turnpike Nate Foy is in Elizabeth New Jersey just south of Newark Nate hey Harris Congressman Jeff Andrew is actually doubling down on those claims that he told you yesterday saying again this morning that Iran may be behind

these mysterious drones in New Jersey and New York also floating the idea that it might possibly be China the Pentagon as you just herd says there's no evidence to support that but moments ago house Speaker Mike Johnson told our colleague Chad pergram he's about to learn more we'll be talking about it today it's quandre um I'm going to try to go get classified briefing to see what we know but the hearings have not yielded much yet New Jersey governor Phil Murphy said on the radio last night that he would be the most surprised guy in

the state of New Jersey if these drones turn out to be US military he also had this message for people frustrated with the state's response I want folks out there to know we're not listen you're frustrated so are we but based on everything and we're going to stay at it I promise you this is our top priority but state legislators and Mayors do not feel like it's a priority Harris they received a briefing yesterday that Murphy didn't attend even though his office called the meeting the briefing I just sat through was a disgrace it was

an insult to our legislator and I've never been through a more Amateur hour uh briefing in my entire life my head is about to explode they know nothing this is America are you telling me that somebody can be flying drones over my town in panic and nobody has any idea what's going on this is unacceptable one State Assembly woman who attended that briefing yesterday said that she believes military intervention is the only path forward in if that happens the US Coast Guard would be the most likely to take action we'll send it back to you

Harris wow well they better get it near the water because van Drew said that's where they should be shot down if we can get them to to go position themselves over in the water these huge drones uh Nate Foy thank you Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez remember I just mentioned that I spoke with him later in the day here's part of my interview with him I did have a conversation this morning with a high level uh law enforcement official where we talked about the possibility of a mother ship being there with the drones I think the

fact that we don't have definitive answers is worrisome how do we capture it so that way we can bring it back figure out where it came from find its flight pla find its frequencies find some of the metadata that's embedded in it the information that it is was sharing who was it sharing to so that way you're not just going after an instrument you're going after a network this is the level of detail that our federal government needs to be working with our state and local Partners to solve to keep Americans safe I want to

bring in Brent Sadler retired Navy Captain former Pentagon official and Heritage Foundation senior fellow uh so glad to have you former Pentagon official is the part I want to lean on now uh is it possible that we just don't know what we don't know because they won't tell us yes I think that unfortunately is a very real possibility here and is unacceptable because this is not a new issue uh it's not because we don't have the capabilities to find out where and who and how these things are being operated it's not a Dar of authorities

we have those it's really what's in short supplies the leadership and this does span several agencies yeah I mean it was a theme obviously with the election the Border comes right out of that DHS is just blown up to the point where it can't do anything right like we've got that we we we've got problems with the Secret Service we've got problems with FEMA I mean all under DHS so we see this so now what do we do about it well I think the first thing that needs to happen and we're about 20 days past

it actually occurring is the White House needs to have an inter agency effort that's led by someone who can speak authoritatively to the American people so right now you've got a a large crowd that doesn't have the full picture no one seems to be able to take a leadership of what's going on here so that is long past du in my mind all right we've been talking a lot about the growing outrage you're mentioning it too over how the Pentagon intelligence agencies in the white house either do not know anything or are not sharing I

almost would prefer Brent that they just know it but they don't tell us because we pay them a lot to know it like taxpayers are not getting our money's worth now the 2024 Total Defense budget was $ 824 billion that's got to be worth a potit note on 24 nights of things that are the size of SUVs flying the Skies over a a a state that houses A Home of an incoming President we got to get something for that money for fiscal year 2025 the National Intelligence program is requesting 73 billion and the military Intel

program 28 billion that's a lot of cash for what seems like very little Intelligence being shared with the American people your take well 824 billion dollars doesn't buy leadership and experience and so that's what again we're missing in all this is someone being put in a position or forced to be put in a position to actually demonstrate that expensive but can't buy it leadership and we do have the capabilities you've had speakers on your show ear earlier in this week that also say the same thing it's not a lack of capabilities it's not a lack

of authorities it's a lack of of leadership quite frankly and it's not a new issue lawmakers I'm talking to you saw Jeff Andrew Tony Gonzalez and others that I've been speaking with say it's time to just take down quick concerns now how do you do that cuz you I mean you spent some time on a warship on a submarine tell us how you do that well there's several ways I mean you could shoot it out of the sky with small caliber guns you could let they go up higher if it's something the size of an

SUV obviously you don't want to do that over American coaster Township 100% uh the other another one that also has a lot of risk is you could use radio frequencies you could try and jam or you could try to take over the signal and control of it that also has problems because if someone's pacemaker or if you've got other sensitive electronic equipment nearby that are people's livelihoods are been relying on you might also interfere with that so there is no free ticket in this and again we've been admiring this problem over our Shores for well

over eight years uh Brent Sadler always great to get your expertise thank you thank you well another horrific crime has been allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant just before Christmas now a Texas family has been left grieving the killing of their only child a 7-year-old little girl and in Chicago people who live there yet again are going after their Sanctuary City's mayor and how he handles illegal immigrants you guys fighting for some illegal aliens who haven't put a dime in this country hundreds of millions going to caring for illegal again a lot of money that

the feds have in their hands while the citizens struggle president-elect Trump's incoming borderers are says the mayor in Chicago had better stay out of his way when he comes to town to fix 7-year-old Ivory Smith is gone this Christmas season the crime that took her life allegedly committed by an illegal immigrant police say the illegal alien from Venezuela was driving drunk when he ran a red light in crashed into the car Ivory's mom was driving now this part according to police the suspect took pictures of the crash and then drove off instead of trying to

help the victims Ivory's family says they should be preparing for Christmas instead look at her she's beautiful instead they're making funeral plans her mom was also injured in the crash and was just released from the hospital Republican congresswoman cat kamik says the the blame for illegal immigrant crime has a single Source you can't even imagine the depravity that takes place in every single Community as a result of Biden's open border crisis it is worse than people realize under the Biden Administration they didn't care they let Americans die and their blood is on their hands Brook

Taylor is in Dallas Texas with more on this tragic story Rook Harris I sources tell me that the suspect in this case is an illegal migrant from Venezuela he crossed over in 2021 in Eagle Pass now he's charged with intoxicated manslaughter the family though of this 7-year-old little girl tells me this could have been avoided their little girl should be here because of a number of reasons court records show that Joel Enrique Gonzalez chassin was arrested for assaulting a family member in 2024 well the case it was dropped to a misdemeanor and after his conviction

ice officials tell me he was turned over to them only for ice to lift that hold so that meant he was free to be released into the community instead of being deported so now just 2 and 1/ half months after that decision he is now accused of drinking and driving in the crash that killed Ivory Smith you came over here illegal so that mean you don't follow the law and you think that you're above the law and now you can you you feel like you can do what you want to do he definitely put a

hole in everyone's heart and the family and now it is my job for her to find and seek Justice for her and Fox News got exclusive internal ice data revealing the nationalities of more than 1.4 million illegal migrants in the United States who have been ordered deported by an immigration judge and are not in ice custody this includes nearly 38,000 Chinese Nationals other top countries include Brazil Haiti and Venezuela and while the majority of the 1.4 million illegal migrants that are ordered to be deported come from countries that are easy to remove like Mexico that

ice exclusive data also has a list of countries that refuse to cooperate with the United States this includes Russia China and also Venezuela Harris thank you uh that graphic with where they're coming from that is useful information because we know a lot of those people coming from Venezuela are attached to gangs thank you very much for the great reporting man Braden Johnson you took an oath to uphold the Constitution or when you took an oath was it only attended to fight for the 10th and 14th amendments regarding illegal aliens you guys fighting for some illegal

aliens who haven't put a dime in this country Tre this follow on you we don't want illegals in our community we don't want migrants terrorizing our own people and have y'all sit up here and say we have to accept $70 million being given to them when you got black people who are already uh struggling and need help it is a disgrace it is a disgrace you want to know why Donald Trump won you're you're watching it yes it was the economy but this is disgraceful we've seen it so many times Chicago residents venting their rage

over their mayor's handling of the illegal immigrant crisis there incoming borders are Tom homman says that City in particular is priority number one and he's not messing around Chicago's in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks and we're going to start right here in Chicago Illinois now if if your Chicago mayor don't doesn't want to help he can step aside well if he impedes us if he KN only harbors and conceals an illegal alien I will prosecute him there you go Tom homman the incoming borders are referencing Illinois governor JB pritzker he is

one of the Democrats leading the resistance to president-elect Trump's plans they're trying to Trump proof their states they say pritsker said this I'm open to a dial with him I you know I will say that he is not a he does not have the authority to do the things that he's talked about I being a border Zar is not an official position uh in the government and uh will be up to the president of the United States and up to the leaders of the Customs and Border Patrol uh to make decisions about how we'll manage

the Border you know who's really mad about that now kamla Harris because she had that job and anyway Trump's plans reportedly include scrapping a policy that prevents Immigration and Customs Agents from arresting illegal immigrants at or near so-called sensitive locations without a supervisor's permission those places include churches schools hospitals and at certain events like weddings and funerals in Focus now Republican senator Rick Scott of the great state of Florida member of Homeland Security armed services and budget committees um those things come all together now we spend so much money for DHS to get this right

why can't that happen you know I've got two seven-year-old grandsons and if I lost them I would be devastated why doesn't Joe Biden why does it pritzer why does the mayor of Chicago why does my orcus why don't they care so Donald Trump won he won a mandate to clean up the mess that Biden created uh so we are going to secure the border and if you're here eally illegally you can't be here um think about we have almost 40,000 Chinese Nationals these are generally single adults why are they here they to be sent back

to China immediately I mean China's basically threatening war with the United States we should not have anybody like that and by the way if they don't if they don't allow us to send them back then why are we allowing flights to come here from China there's so many things we can do to enforce our laws so I'm glad Donald Trump is committed to doing this I'm committed to doing it our focus in January has to be to give Donald Trump all the resources he needs to clean up the mess that Joe Biden created 40 more

days of this I mean Biden could do something great for the country and at least help out in the next 40 days to slow this down you mentioned you know in reference to seven-year-old Ivory Smith our hearts break but they keep breaking lak and Riley Joselyn Nung there's so many of these victims now this is untenable well and then I'm on homeland security and the Democrats cancelled the hearing where myor were supposed to come testify because they know that he can't defend the the loss of all this life I mean I don't get how doesn't

he have a heart doesn't he does doesn't he have somebody in his life that he worries about that somebody here illegally unvetted might harm I don't get it well the New York Times apparently is coming around to what Fox News has been reporting and seeing with our own eyes for years here's the headline from yesterday recent immigration surge has been largest in the US History under President Biden more than 2 million immigrants per year have entered government data shows well we know they can read so now they can write it summary action this is the

mother of all now it can be told stories from the New York Times and it's remarkable that the story finally came over a month after the election a New York Post opinion piece with this headline the New York Times finally tells the truth about Biden's border failures after the elections yeah Senator Scott I I want to get your reaction to that and and also if you could just mix in 40 more days of this what can be done so let's start with first your reaction well first I it I mean the New York Times is

just it's just a it's a political part of the Democrat Party um but why don't I just don't understand why they don't care so well we've got we have to we know what our job is Trump won we've got to get this done um I wish they myus would start doing his job but I'm very appreciative of trump and uh Tom homman that people are going to do it I'm going to do everything I can you know we love imig immigration in this country legal immigration we want people in this country that want to live

our dream and be part of building our country not destroying our country through crime and through bringing socialism to our country this is disgusting what Biden has done and Democrats all been on board as we've seen in in places like Aurora Colorado some of those people who've come here legally those migrants are some of the first ones to become victims of those who are here illegally those particular communities Senator thank you for being with me I appreciate it right thanks haris have a good day bye-bye you too and you see Tom homman there I believe

that's who that is with him he's going to meet with the mayor of uh of New York City today for their illegal immigration crisis that they have blown up here the president-elect Trump at the New York Stock Exchange this morning and I've been told that is not Tom homman so I need to check my eyesight from this distance on the monitor uh the incoming president is celebrating Time Magazine naming him the person of the year that's just part of the buzz the president-elect has been whipping up new polling shows that a trump bump is real

plus how many Americans are really dreaming of when we left we didn't have any of these problems we didn't have Russia with Ukraine we didn't have Israel October 7th we didn't have the Afghanistan disaster we didn't have inflation we had no inflation and we had a very strong economy and we're going to do that again but I think we're going to even up it because now we have experience that we didn't have president-elect Trump rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange this morning his first time ever doing that he has been named one

other time to Time magazine's person of the year so that's this year too and of course now half the day is gone so 39 and 1 half days until Trump is back in the Oval Office and new polling shows people are feeling optimistic a fox survey finds 54% of Voters say they are hopeful post election another NA national poll shows 55% of Americans approve of the way that Trump is handling the presidential transition a new oped sums it up this way National mood shift since Trump's win is Reviving America's lost Vigor Trump's incoming press secretary

Caroline levit with this there's a real pable Spirit out there people feel more optimistic because they know we're going to have a real leader again who's going to make this country safe and strong and Wealthy a recent New York Times piece focused on 14 people who voted for Trump despite having some misgivings in the leadup to the election here's a quote the idea of America moving on from politics and actually being more united than it seems to be was a core idea for many in the group they said they were tired of being criticized for

holding conservative or contrary opinions and thought a lot of other Americans were too Alexa Henning former Trump advisor and former communications director for Arkansas governor Sarah uh Huckaby Sanders Morgan Harper former Ohio Democratic Senate candidate great to have you first or both um Morgan I'm going to come to you first welcome to the program what do you make of this optimism I mean yours was the party of joy and now people have it well I think it's pretty normal after a presidential election that win a positive way for a certain candidate for people to be

enthusiastic towards that candidate I think what remains to be seen is just how much the president-elect intends to follow through on some of the promises he made on the campaign Trail around issues that people care a lot about and as we know the economy was front and center and even in This Time Magazine piece that that came out today we see him previewing a little bit that he might not be able to address things like high prices the cost of living and if that's so he might find a situation where governing is a lot different

than being a candidate Alexa do you have a rebuttal to that um I I think that it's not just the the folks that voted for President Trump it's the entire country and it's also the world and everyone seems to have you know taking a deep breath and a sigh of relief and you know whether Joe Biden is going to remember his legacy or not the American people are and it was all doom and gloom and no one had faith that these leaders were going to fix anything in fact they broke everything and president Trump is

already fixing things I mean Tom homman is already meeting with Greg Abbott he's meeting with folks around the country to try to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into this country you see deals coming to fruition with Canada and Mexico you know the president was already at Notre Dame and in that reopening I mean he is already T retaking the you know the world stage because Biden and kamla have have just disappeared more so than they were during their presidency I'll move to this Google is the latest company to spark backlash over a super woke

ad it's a Christmas shopping push which features a nonbinary beauty influencer searching for skin care products using good shave so that exfoliation should help as well that's just science social media reaction here just what you might think one red State writer with Google what should we do for our Christmas ad normals maybe a family sharing gifts around fre Google sorry best we can do is a dude prancing around in women's clothing now all of that was opinion that we gathered user wres another out of touch company failing to read the room one more why would

you purposefully Bud Light yourself we've seen the same thing from Jaguar recently the company's recent Rebrand included a different kind of ad with dancers but not a single car was in it so I don't know if they'll be selling many Jaguars and of course course the notorious but light botched campaign that company faced tanking sales and a boycott after its disastrous partnership with the transgender influencer Google with a statement on its new ad here it is to put it into perspective this was a single sponsored Instagram post representing a fraction of a percent of a

much wider Google shopping campaign reverse order now Alexa it got a lot of attention yeah and I mean I don't know how you can look at the landscape and I mean you you said haris from The New York Times these American people they just want to be able to afford gas and groceries and live in safe communities this just isn't working this is exactly how Biden and Harris ran their campaigns they spent six figures creating sets for podcast hosts instead of helping people in North Carolina this is exactly what people do not want and I

don't know how long it's going to take for you know Democrats to understand that or companies to understand that either but you know this is not what the American people care about you know in keeping it on those politics Morgan it is interesting because when you Google you're supposed to get the facts that come up and those things that help you to go on and do what you need to do in life and it's even aided by artificial intelligence now so it's supposed to be even more specific yeah I mean I don't even claim to

be an expert in in corporate advertising clearly Google made a call here that this was in their best interest but look I think the more important point is Google has too much power if all of us want to care a lot less about what Google's doing and what they're spending money on Department of Justice will continue the Legacy from his first term and this Biden Administration and breaking them up and forcing them to divest some of their current assets so none of us have to worry about what Google's doing interesting Morgan and Alexa thank you

very much for being with me thanks for having me President Biden is commuting the sentences of more than a thousand Americans reactions to the largest Act of clemency in modern history plus Christopher Ray is walking away possibly clearing a path for Trump's pick for FBI director to take his place if you care about the institution and I think I think Mr Ray does and I think he he uh it was the wise thing to do some reaction from the president elect ahead and also Lisa booth in Focus next has commuted the jail sentences of nearly

1,500 people and he gave out 39 parties this is the latest Act of clemency in or the largest Act of clemency in the modern presidential history and it all comes after Biden's very controversial pardon of course of his son Hunter Mark Meredith reports from DC Mark Harris good morning to you it's good to see you pardons by tradition can be quite controversial but the polling you referenced shows just how disappointed so many Americans are after the president broke his promise not to Pardon his son Hunter it was just 12 days ago on a Sunday night

as the president was leaving for Africa that he announced a sweeping pardon to clear Hunter charges of tax fraud and lying on a gun form it also covers anything that could have been considered a federal crime over a period of 10 years there's an Associated Press poll finding only 22% of people approve of the pardon 51 disapprove 18% say they had no opinion Republicans and even many Democratic allies of the president have come out against this pardon and one woman who has spent a lot of time advising the president over the years says the White

House screwed up the timing of the pardon had this pardon been done at the end of the term in the context of compassion the way many pardons will be done I am sure and many commutations will be done I think would have been a different story I do not agree with the way it was done I don't agree with the timing and I don't agree frankly with the attack on our Judicial System amid the controversy today the president issuing clemency for nearly 1500 people overnight Biden said most of the commutations will impact people who were

placed on home confinement during the pandemic and have shown personal growth Harris you mentioned it 39 people also issued those full pardons none supposed to be any violent offenders and Harris we're hearing that more pardons may be coming you've got some democratic activists urging the president to clear Federal death row they don't think that that should still exist and they want the president to take care of that before he leaves office Harris mark thank you Republicans are celebrating FBI director Christopher Ray's announcement that he's going to resign before president-elect Donald Trump takes office now this

is two years short of raise maximum 10e term Trump posted this the resignation is a great day for America as it will end the weaponization of what has become known as the US Department of Injustice I just don't know what happened to him we will now restore the rule of law for all Americans end of quote and of course he's referencing the fact that in 2017 he put Ry in that position and now Ry is quite different in Trump's eyes Republican senator Josh Holly also is glad about this move Chris Roy is a republican he's

a republican appointe but I think he was a very bad FBI director and I really wish he wouldn't have been I wish he would have been fantastic during his tenure at the FBI and it's really hard to find the high points um this is a guy who allowed or recruited informants into Catholic parishes this is a guy who sent SWAT teams to the homes of pro-life demonstrators um this is a guy who did nothing when the FBI repeatedly misled the fisa court yeah that's a lot of low points for Christopher Ray and for America we

had to live through it the Washington examiner editorial board with this headline good riddance to Ray no FBI director is entitled to his 10-year term if he does not do his job A decade is a maximum allowable tenure I mentioned that not an entitlement the president has every right to replace him in raise wake the FBI needs a serious disinfectant some Democrats feel quite different the FBI has a 10-year term and the reason for that is to keep politics out of the uh out of the FBI so I think it's really regrettable that he clearly

is responding to pressure and cutting short his term I've always found him to be a straight shooter I think he's done a good job and I support him uh M negative good good I'm done top is so low yeah wow one HP oh nice jleaks up yeah proxy classic how to bot L always always always always wins off come y to be fair is the yeah emper back in again mm Co real one wa wait reverse contested base way come not even close for engl okay
