>> Emily: WELCOME BACK. >> Emily: WELCOME BACK. THERE ARE SOME GRIM NEW NUMBERS FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE BORDER. VOTERS IN THE NEW FOX POLL SAY BORDER SECURITY IS WORSE TODAY THAN IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO. ALL THIS SMUGGLERS HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN A NEW VIDEO NOW USING A ROPE TO LOWER A MOTHER AND HER KID DOWN THIS 30-FOOT SECTION OF BORDER WALL. MEANTIME, VICE PRESIDENT HERE IS COMING UP WITH THIS EXCUSE WHEN PRESSED ON WHY SHE HASN’T VISITED THE SOUTHERN BORDER. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE SHE WAS MADE THE POINT PERSON FOR A RECORD SURGE IN MIGRANTS. >> YES, WE ARE WORKING ON A PLANE TO GET THERE. WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH COVID ISSUES, BUT I CAN GET THERE SOON ENOUGH IN TERMS OF PERSONALLY GETTING THERE. >>>> Emily: JOE CONCHA, WE HAVE TO GO WITH THE COVID ISSUE. THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY THAN EVEN WHAT SHE CAMPAIGNED ON WHERE SHE MADE A FOCAL POINT ABOUT "MAKING MEANINGFUL CHANGE TO IMMIGRATION AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION," SO WHAT HAPPENED TO HER PET PASSION? >> Joe: VERY GOOD QUESTION, EMILY. SHE IS FULLY VACCINATED. THE VICE PRESIDENT IS VIEWED IS ON THE CDC SAY IT IS OKAY TO TRAVEL WHEN YOU ARE FULLY VACCINATED? SHE HAS GONE TO EIGHT OR NINE OTHER STATES. TAXES NOT ON THAT PARTICULAR SCHEDULE, SO THAT EXCUSES OUT. BY THE WAY, IN THAT POLL, WHO ARE THE 15% THAT THINK THAT THINGS ARE BETTER AT THE BORDER? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? TO QUOTE JERRY SEINFELD. KAMALA HARRIS ENDS UP BEING ON THE TOP OF THE TICKET. EVEN SOME DEMOCRATS SAY THAT THAT MAY BE THE CASE. BIDEN MAY BE A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT HE OR SHE WILL HAVE TO RUN ON HER RECORD AS VICE PRESIDENT. THIS IS HER NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. HOW DO YOU THINK THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU DON’T SEE THE PROBLEM? AND BY THE WAY, WHY NOT DO A PRESS CONFERENCE ONCE IN A WHILE INSTEAD OF THE T-BALL SESSION THAT SHE DID ON CNN YESTERDAY? I ALWAYS HEAR THE EXCUSE " "VICE PRESIDENT DON’T HOLD PRESS CONFERENCES." THAT’S FUNNY. I WOULD SEE MIKE PENCE ON MY SCREEN, TAKING QUESTIONS FOR EXTENDED. MYS OF TIME WHEN HE WAS PUT IN CHARGE OF THE CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE. THIS COULD BE HER SIGNATURE FAILURE. I COULD REALLY HURT HER CHANCES IN 2024 IF JOE BIDEN DECIDES THAT HE DOESN’T WANT TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN. >> Emily: SO, KENNEDY, TAKING THAT A STEP FURTHER, I THINK IT IS CLEAR THAT WE ARE SEEING THE STRATEGY OF PROTECTION BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BECAUSE ANY TIME THE PRESS ADDRESSES HER NEW ROLE AT THE BORDER, THEY SAY NO, IT IS ONLY ABOUT THE NORTHERN TRIANGLE. NO, IT IS ABOUT FINDING THE ROOT CAUSES. THERE IS A CLEAR CHASM BECAUSE DOMINIC BETWEEN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING SO THAT SHE CAN KEEP HER RECORD CLEAN. YOUR THOUGHTS? >> Kennedy: THIS TECHNIQUE IS NOT WORKING. IT IS SIMPLY NOT WORKING TO PRETEND THAT THE SURGE AT THE BORDER ISN’T HAVING A HORRIBLE EFFECT ON CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. IT IS. THERE IS SO MUCH CONFUSION, AND THE ONLY SIGNALING FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION IS IF YOU SEND YOUR KIDS ALONE, SELL EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT, SEND YOUR KIDS WITH SMUGGLERS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO SEND THEM BACK. THAT MAKES THESE KIDS PAWNS IN THIS ENTIRE ENTERPRISE AND PUTS ON THAT SO MUCH RISK. I DON’T THINK SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT WORD SHE IS USING WHEN SHE SAYS "I CAN’T GET THERE SOON ENOUGH." THAT IS NOW. NOW IS WHEN THE SURGE IS HAPPENING. IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE AND WORSE, SO GO FIX IT NOW. YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY WORK ON NOT, BUT GO DOWN THERE, GET AFFECTED BY APPEARED GET ANGRY IF YOU GET EMOTIONAL. SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THESE KIDS, AND THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE ON SPIRIT AIR. SHE IS FULLY VACCINATED. SHE WILL FLY ON THE PLANE WAS LIKE FOR OTHER PEOPLE. SHE IS LIKE THE JOHN KERRY OF VICE PRESIDENT. [LAUGHS] >> Emily: KAYLEIGH, KENNEDY MENTIONS THAT THE CHILDREN ARE BEING USED AS PAWNS, AND WE HAVE HEARD OF THE HORRORS AND ATROCITIES THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH. PACKED IN LIKE SARDINES. HOWEVER, THEY ARE BEING GIVEN A BOOK. EVERYONE IS BEING GIVEN A COPY, APPARENTLY, OF VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS’ BOOK. MY QUESTION IS WOULD THERE BE ANY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS THAT THERE IS NOW IF THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING UNDER THE PRIOR ADMINISTRATION? AND WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THESE KIDS GETTING "SUPERHEROES ARE EVERYWHERE?" >> Kayleigh: ONE OF THE LINES IN THIS BOOK THAT THESE CHILDREN ARE RECEIVING IS "IN TIMES OF TROUBLE, SUPERHEROES ALWAYS SHOW UP HERE" THE SUPERHERO, KAMALA HARRIS, HAS NOT SHOWN UP FOR THESE GIRLS IN THE MICRO AND FACILITY IN HOUSTON THAT HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN BECAUSE THEY HAD TO USE THE BATHROOM AND BACK SPHERE THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO STAND UP FROM THEIR BEDS. THE SUPERHERO DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THEM. THE SUPERHERO DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THE FOUR AND 5-YEAR-OLDS CUP I SMUGGLERS. THE SUPERHERO DID NOT SHOW UP HERE THE SUPERHERO DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THE KIDS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE. AS THEY MAKE THE DANGEROUS JOURNEY. SUPERHEROES ARE NOT SHOWING UP BECAUSE OF COVID, SHE SAYS. WHAT A LAME EXCUSE. IT IS PERFECTLY SAFE FOR HER TO GO DOWN THERE. EVEN IF YOU PUT ASIDE THE FACT THAT SHE IS VACCINATED, WE TALKED ON THIS PANEL, OUR FRONT-LINE WORKERS DID NOT STOP WORKING DURING THE PANDEMIC. OUR POLICE OFFICERS DID NOT. WHY IS IT FAIR FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND TO NOT SHOW UP? IT IS AN EXCUSE, AND IT IS QUITE SAD. >> Harris: BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. [LAUGHS] IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE ANSWER, YOU CAN’T RUSH TO THE BORDER. WHAT ARE YOU RUSHING FOR? THAT HAS GOT TO BE A PART OF THE CALCULATION. IF THEY WANT TO FILL IN THE GAP, TAKE A NEWS CONFERENCE. YOU CAN TELL US WHAT THE TRUTH IS. >> Emily: RIGHT. BE TRANSPARENT. COMMUNICATE. BUT TO KAYLEIGH’S POINT, THE VICE PRESIDENT ASKED IT HERSELF.
