♪ >> this kind of behavior is obviously behavior that we will not tolerate. threats of violence and actual violence against the justices, of course, strike at the heart of our democracy.

we will do everything we can to prevent them and to hold people who do them accountable. >> bret: attorney general merrick garland about this threat, real threat to justice brett kavanaugh. "the washington post" writes it this way: man with weapon arrested near brett kavanaugh's home officials say. according to the affidavit roske told police he was upset over the leaked draft of an opinion that would overturn the constitutional right to abortion and also the recent school shooting in uvalde. the prospect of overturning roe v. wade has amplified tensions at the court where justices are circulating drafts of opinions and dissents. a final decision is expected this month or in early july. he said he wanted to kill justice kavanaugh. he is now in custody. but it's bringing up a lot of other questions. let's bring in our panel syndicated radio host hugh hewitt. mara liasson national political correspondent of "national public radio." fox news senior political analyst brit hume. brit, this is a big story. >> brit: it is a big story. it's nice to see that the

attorney general has finally decided that the justice does have a role to play here and this is intolerable these kind of threats and attempts at violence. he could have enforced the law that forbids the kind of protests we have seen outside brett kavanaugh's house and in his neighborhood. maybe he will do so in the future. that would be a welcomed development. it would also be a welcomed development, bret, i think, if people who have uttered public threats against you have been justices, politicians who should know better, schumer in particular started to tone it down. i guess i'm not sure we have heard anything like that interest from chuck schumer since but it left an effect. this kind of behavior has got to stop and it's sad to say this is happening in our country and sad to say we need guards outside of the homes of the justices of the supreme court and perhaps at the homes of other justices and judges around the country as well. we seem to need them. >> bret: yeah. meantime, there is this bill that is stuck up on capitol hill, mara, it's cornyn-coons

bill about security for justices and their families. i just have some news from how this all started. the supreme court originally wanted police powers for supreme court officers the same as capitol police. in other words, if there were protesters that they could make arrests. that was turned down by the legislators. they didn't put it in the bill. they also wanted their force to have the same benefits as capitol police in order to kind of make their force whole. they are down 15%. that was not put in the bill either. but, the protection for the justices and their families was basically the bill from coons-cornyn. but it's over in the house and the house said we're not going to move this forward unless there's also protection for the clerks of the supreme court. well, the senate said we're not going to do that but now the bill is in limbo and, you know,

leader hoyer has put out numerous statements on this. but, you know, leader hoyer has protection but does his staff up on capitol hill have the same protection he has? >> well, look, we don't know about threats to clerks. we don't know what the needs are but, this is a bipartisan bill. i would expect that something will get passed to protect the justices. we just had a retired judge in wisconsin murdered. there is lots and lots of violence right now. i would expect that something is going to be passed to give the supreme court justices, maybe other employees the protection that they need. >> bret: yeah. hugh, bret mentioned this but this is back at the confirmation hearings and this is senator schumer outside the supreme court. it got a lot of attention and seems relevant now. take a listen. >> i want to tell you, gulch, i gorsuch,i want to tell you, kav, have you released a whirlwind and you will pay the price. you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful

decisions. >> bret: so we spent a lot of time and we will tomorrow with the january 6th committee which was a horrible day analyzing what president trump's statements on the mall meant to the capitol rioters, but what that statement meant and the message that was sent, what about that? >> well, that was the most irresponsible statement that chuck schumer has made in a career of irresponsible statements. i want to echo what leader mcconnell said on the floor of the senate, republican leader today. this is exactly, exactly, he used that phrase three times exactly, exactly what was foreseeable, indeed it was predicted and an attempted assassination of a supreme court justice is a republic thundering event in order to change the law it is a seismic event and the proximate cause was the leak, another proximate cause was the publication and geo data on where justices lived. and it's not just the justice. it's their family, it's their

neighbors. it's law enforcement officers and that the house did not convene to pass that bill, which passed the senate unanimously almost a month ago, coons-cornyn is a shock to me and i hope it passes tomorrow. >> bret: mara mentioned, brit, the judge in wisconsin. there is also this judge whose son died after getting threats and she was on with john roberts this afternoon. take a listen. >> i always knew that threat was somewhere behind me. i always thought about it but the day my son was killed in our foyer, the day my -- i watched my son's life fade away, now, now i know that it's right here. it's right, front and crencht but i will tell you right now, mark and i don't worry about ourselves. our lives is pretty much set in stone at this point. i worry about all the judges that want to do one thing and

one thing only. serve this country and protect democracy. and we shouldn't have to give, you know, give up our lives to do our jobs. >> bret: pretty compelling, brit. >> brit: pretty hard to argue with that point of view and she is absolutely right. and, you know, it appears not only that the judges around the country, as well as on the high court in washington and other courts, higher courts need protection but trial level judges do, too. maybe their families do, too. this is where we are. it is utterly distressing to see this in our country. the respect for lack of respect for the rule of law rage. we live in an age of rage and is it is incumbent on those of us who have a voice to tone it down. to stop with the name-calling. to stop with the hateful rhetoric. to say stop with the threats. it's very unhealthy and if we saw today once again as if we didn't know it's very dangerous. >> bret: obviously comes, mara, as this dhs bulletin is

suggesting in coming months. we expect threat environment to become more exacerbated. meantime there is this effort on capitol hill about guns. do you get a sense of where things are that a framework is developing? >> well, you know, everybody who has been involved in these talks said that this time feels different. that they are -- they feel optimistic that they are going to get somewhere. that might be a triumph of hope over experience because we have been there before. i mean, toomey and mansionen tried to get a gun bill and failed. we do know people want to do something republicans in particular are hearing from their constituents that something needs to be done about gun violence. look at the polls 80% say background checks would be good with 60% say age 18 to 21 for assault weapons. so, you know, this would be the moment to do something. we will see if they can pull it

off. >> brit: hugh, last word on. this i do think we are very close. last night when matthew mcconaughey said i'm dad you are dad we ought to be able to talk. he spoke to the country of not only parents and grandparents but families. there is a moment. there is an opportunity. i hope -- it's up to cornyn and his colleagues to make it happen. i'm not sure the house bill that passed today or tomorrow is what is on the table. but i think we are very close to something. >> bret: panel stand by if you would. voters up next overwhelmingly reject soft on crime policies. what that may mean for the midterms. >> but first today's throw back. 40 years ago today, president ronald reagan became the first president to address both houses of parliament. prime minister margaret thatcher looked on as president reagan spoke about how to defeat the soviet union peace through strength and fight for democracy around the world. >> there are threats now to our freedom, indeed to our very

existence that other generations could never even have imagined. there is first the threat of global war the march of -- ash heap of history other tyrannies muzzle the expression of people. what kind of people do we think we are? and let us answer free people. worthy of freedom, and determined not only to remain so but to help others gain their freedom as well. but walmart's got your back with thousands of rollbacks so you get everything you need to keep your summer rollin'. because when you save money, you can live better. >> tech: cracked windshield? schedule with safelite, and we'll come to you to fix it. >> tech vo: this customer was enjoying her morning walk. we texted her when we were on our way. she could track us and see exactly when we'd arrive.

>> people are angry. they are frustrated. voters were not asked to choose between criminal justice reform and something else. they were given an opportunity to voice their frustration and their outrage and they took that opportunity. >> the people of los angeles have had enough and i do believe that they really now realize that george gascon does not care about public safety. >> the d.a. of san francisco has just conceded he has been recalled. [cheers] >> george gascon, you're next. >> bret: wow, the district attorney of san francisco did lose the recall effort chesa boudin was overwhelming. it wasn't even close. if you look at the vote there 60, 40 yes to recall him. and now, there are sights being

set on the los angeles district attorney. "wall street journal" editorial board says crime and punishment in california, mr. boudin blamed right wing billionaires for his defeat which is amusing since he and other left wing prosecutors in new york, philadelphia and elsewhere were elected with the help of billionaire george sore soros. voters are catching up with the harsh reality of what progressive policies have wrowt. this is what always hand happens, takes power but voters have had to relearn that lesson the hard way. what do we learn from this lesson? we are back with our panel, brit, your thoughts? >> brit: well, when voters in these cities, no matter their political leanings are not going to put up with crime waves and they see these scenes of rampant crime in the streets. people looting stores, running away. very soft prosecution of them a lot of things formerly prosecuted are not being prosecuted. they are not going to put up with that anywhere.

i don't know how these prosecutors thought they were going to be able to do this stuff and stay? office it turns out in san francisco at least they can't and it's very likely this will be repeated else somewhere. >> bret: hugh, it could have reverberations for the midterms. >> very much so. in california the republicans nominated in congressional districts everyone that they preferred. they got chen nominated for controller very center right republican. nathan hockman attorney general. going back to the pete wilson model the dan lundgren model libertarian on social issues and tough on crime. governor wilson won back-to-back when they first moved to california and you can have the golden state back but you have got to vote for people that enforce the law. i think that's coming. >> bret: mara, the l.a. mayor's race is now focusing, it's going to be a run off, focusing on crime and homelessness as it heads to this run off. take a listen. >> they are upset about the problems of homelessness. they are upset about the problems of crime, corruption. but they are also upset that our

city government seems to accept these problems as if life has to be this way. >> we will stop the crimes of today by responding to neighborhood calls for more officers on the beat. and we will also prevent the crimes of tomorrow by investing in proven prevention and reduction strategies. stop the crimes of today and prevent the crimes of tomorrow. >> bret: this is much different sounding democratic candidate or pitch than we have heard over the past year. >> well, wait a second. in the primary. >> bret: in new york mayor adams. >> yes. the democratic party voters have shown again and again that they are not as left as the right caricature rises them as. look what happened in san francisco not long ago they got rid of the school board, why? because they messed around with tests in high schools which is the elevator to the middle class for immigrant families. eric adams, why even in super

blue places, crime homelessness are things that people don't put up with. and karen bass is not someone that's been calling to defund the police. you just heard her. joe biden hasn't been calling to defund the police he is wondering why all the billions of dollars he sent american rescue plan haven't been spent on hiring more police. >> bret: right. >> i think that, you know, we are seeing the true colors of regular democratic voters and, you know, they are making a correction. >> bret: speaking of president biden, obviously as a candidate, brit, he campaigned more as a moderate. he campaigned more in the middle. and arguably a lot of critics of this administration say he has governed more with a hat tip to the left and the progressives. right now, a poll out today, quinnipiac has independence giving president biden a 25% job

approval. and disapprove 61%. those are the lowest numbers. he is now at the lowest point that the rcp average of all polls for approval at any time. >> bret: you know, it used to be that if you could win your party and win the independents, win the independents you would win the election. recent years democrats have come to believe that they didn't have to necessarily win the independents and now i think though when you lose them as badly as this 61% to 25% you are in real trouble. democrats widely recognize this. but, biden really has governed more to the left than he seemed to indicate he wanted to during the campaign. so, although during the campaign he did say some pretty lefty things like i'm going to end fossil fuels, he said that. he also said at one point he wanted to defund the police

although he reversed himself. so it was a little -- not entirely clear he was a moderate but he did sort of pose as one. >> bret: quickly, hugh, to turn the aircraft carrier if you will before the midterms for this president and this party,. >> have to secure the border, bret. i have really do not think it's possible if you continue to see the stories that we saw earlier on "special report" tonight of a border that is essentially open to people who are returning who have done heinous crimes in the united states before. so, everything this administration says about crime and everything every progressive democrat wants to repudiate or forget is made up when we talk about the border. >> bret: all right, panel, as always, thank you. ♪ ♪ >> bret: finally tonight a special day. >> order arms. [applause] >> greeting for a police officer released from chicago hospital. officer fernando was shot in the

head during a traffic stop last week. she left the hospital. she was greeted by bagpipes and mariachi band an hundreds of officers. she thanked her partner are for having her police and chicago police for caring for her family. great story. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. fair balanced and still unafraid. "jesse watters primetime" is right now. hi, jesse. >> jesse: hey, bret. thank you so much. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> jesse: our president famously said i'm not a mind reader. i cannot predict what will happen and what people will do. well, mr. president, you don't have to be a mind read tore predict what happened today. when a left wing lunatic flew across the country to try to assassinate supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. but, was he just following orders? remember what chuck schumer said. >> i want to tell you
