heather: we will see you back right here in an hour. jon: "outnumbered" starts right now. >> here's where it gets fun because this is "outnumbered" and i'm kimberly gill foil. here today is harris faulkner, sandra smith, ted day, #oneluckyguy, tucker carlson. >> hey. >> are you ready for some action? >> i'm totally ready. i meditated for over two hours to center my spirit. >> i saw you doing yoga and he is is ready to go on the hot seat. veterans after chair chief eric shinseki finishing testimony on the hill under oath for the first time since the scandal now engulfing the va.
9:01 am
allegations of secret waiting list and cover-up of lengthy delays while veterans died to see doctors. as you may expect at today's hearing before the senate veterans affairs committee, passions are running high. take a listen. >> any allegation, any adverse incident like this, makes me, makes me mad as hell. i could use stronger language here, mr. chairman, but in testify dense to the committee i won't. but at the same time it also saddens me because i understand out of those adverse events a veteran and a veteran's family is dealing in the aftermath and i always try to put myself in their shoes. >> is this going to work, tucker? he seems to be genuinely upset and he should be. >> i think he is is. four-star general. been around. spent his life in the military. i take him at his word. what is amazing the department of justice is still refusing to open a criminal
9:02 am
investigation. they investigate everything as you know but not this which is remarkable. there will be pressure, continuing, bernie sanders, the socialist, self-described socialist senator from vermont described as a crime and described it accurately. what is the justification for not opening a criminal investigation? >> i don't think there is one, sandra. that is the point. they should be investigating this and championing this cause and trying to get to the bottom of this. vet died. they rely on us for honorably serving. >> nice to hear he is mad as hell. he did vow to act if it turns up they were cooking the books. but when he was directly asked if any of these allegations were true to his knowledge, if they wering cooking the books, he said that he was not aware, with the exception of a few isolated incidents. but, bottom line, as great of, as great as the guy might be, if he was not aware, then the oversight was not good and that was his responsibility to track down these allegations as they came up.
9:03 am
these stories have been around for a long time. so whether or not he should still be in that position that seriously is called into question if he was not aware of what was going on under his control. >> harris i want to get you to respond to this we have a bit of sound from senator richard blumenthal. i would like to get your thoughts. >> okay. >> let me raise sort of the elephant in the room. isn't there evidence here of criminal wrongdoing, that is, falsifying records, false statements to the federal government? that's a crime under the -- >> should be, yes. >> and wouldn't it be appropriate to ask for assistance from the federal bureau of investigation? >> i will work with the ig to make that available to him if that's his request. >> you know what is interesting? you brought up bernie sanders of vermont and now you have richard blumenthal of connecticut. these are democrats who are saying this is a problem, this is a bipartisan issue. would i ask, and you alluded to the inspector general looking into it, and why not the doj?
9:04 am
i would ask why the president isn't sitting in on some of these hearings, right? who is more invested in making health care work in this country. >> great point. >> than the man who made hallmark legislation as part of his presidency on health care and here is a portion of it that isn't just not working but killing people, killing very people who fought for that country. where is the president? >> i know the answer. he is on upper east side of manhattan. they blocked the east side of the island. raising money at a fund-raiser. >> shut down manhattan. kirsten, this is a great point this is a call, opportunity for the president to show leadership, to show compassion, to show investment in his signature health care saying, i care about your health. i care about veterans that served this country. this is an outrage. where is the investigation? he is not doing that. why? >> i assume we will hear from him. this was not caused by obamacare. this is -- >> no, i wasn't saying that. he cares about it. >> this is something that is much more systemic problem that
9:05 am
is going on and frankly the va had a lot of problems and, you know, there is as much as people say they're happy with their health care a lot of people say that i always heard a lot of nightmare stories. it definitely needs oversight. i'm sure the president will speak on it. >> he put an aide on this. he put rob nabors, one of his aides at white house but not personally. >> harris, time is passing. people are dying. they had wait lists. how abhorrent this happens in this country? >> by the way bonuses are still being handed out. we heard from some republican lawmakers who at least, very least, not even the investigation, end the bonuses because apparently that is incentive. >> shut it down. >> that hasn't happened so. >> newly-revealed emails link the irs tea party targeting scandal straight to the agency's washington headquarters, a direct contradiction to what the obama administration first claimed when fishes tried to put
9:06 am
the blame on a small office in cincinnati. >> there was a lot of discussion in the system about the use of c-4s. people in cincinnati decided, let's start grouping these cases. let's centralize these cases of the way they centralized it, troublesome. the concept of centralization not. we're not targeting these people in that sense. >> so, kimberly, is quarterbacked and in washington, d.c., who is some small office in cincinnati? >> you're absolutely right about this. this is one of the biggest scandals and most significant. me, this is something i find to be criminal. it is far-reaching, it is extensive. this is something that the american people should care about and vote on when it comes time to go to the polls. it should matter. that is as much as obamacare in my opinion. >> they do. the latest "fox news poll" revealing how serious american voters are taking this. they're ranking it up there with the nsa scandal, benghazi
9:07 am
scandal, irs scandal. those who interest it very or somewhat important, 71% of registered voters that were polled. tucker, that is overwhelming percentage of people who say what is going on here? >> what is really's mag how high nsa scandal rates and no media attention and both parties in favor of it. one, mr. miller was right they did categorize from the applications but did it by ideology. these are tea party applications and put them in one pile. this is results of pressure from united states senator. he pushed this. he should have to ask the for that. what happened to house oversight committee, darrell issa. yet fell again to a non-profit judicial watch to get full emails. what happened? is that committee incompetent? is the executive branch withholding information? what is the answer. >> i said this last night on "special report," sort of in
9:08 am
jest but now seriously. they need foia can requests. administration is redacting information and holding it back and not giving to them panned clearly though know it has been asked for. clearly this was asked for before. >> why is it such a cumbersome mechanism to do this? isn't this a government of fully transparent? everything is blocked out, sitting on document, anything they can do not to turn them over? that to me is un-american and fundamentally wrong. >> many of these stories we keep seeing what happened to the va hospital. secrecy, hiding, covering up that is going on. it sort of what people imagined maybe is happening in the government but we haven't had this enough evidence of it, you know? >> these weren't rogue employees, harris in ohio. these were in washington, d.c. >> well and how specific, tucker alluded to this, how specific ce groups that had certain names in their titles like tea, party, conservative? they put out a bolo. that is what you do when you're
9:09 am
looking for a criminal. be on the lookout for a conservative. a bolo for a conservative? a bolo for any other group? put out bolo for african-americans? the irs, people would be rioting in the street. >> pay attention. >> i think everybody would be paying attention. but you brought up something else. we showed the graphic on the screen a few moments ago. depending on you who the administration handles that va thing you can add that to scandal if they're not careful with it. >> the worst part they were targeting people who are doing anything that opposes the government, right? i mean that is so chilling to have the irs basically saying, anyone in opposition to the president, that is what they're talking about, we're going to harass. i think that is something scary to everybody, not just to conservatives. >> so you're being disobedient and you get extra attention from the irs? that is frightening. where is the left? you think the aclu would be flipping out over this they ought to be. >> that's a good point. where are they? >> selective outrage.
9:10 am
own matters to their idealogical viewpoint they will get up and pay attention, same with the injustice department. there are plenty of examples of that. >> kimberly has the last word on that. think spending big bucks on your kid's sport makes them the next olympian? a lot of people do. think again. why it may drive your kid to quit. also susan rice speaking out about the house's new investigation into the benghazi attack. why she says it could be a waste of time. as four families continue to look for answers. >> every time i see this on tv, i see these bloody fingerprints crawling down a wall of that benghazi place and i keep asking everybody, are, do those belong to my son? starts with back pain... ...and a choice. take 4 advil in a day which is 2 aleve... ...for all day relief.

9:15 am
among their questions? why was the attack initially blamed on protests sparked by a video? senator lindsey graham points to a press release issued by then secretary of state hillary clinton. >> she issues a press statement at 10:00 on september the 11th, putting in play the video narrative. where did she, what information did she have to make her feel confident that was the source of the problems in benghazi? does this explain where the video narrative came from? did it start with hillary clinton? >> those families that lost their loved ones in service to our country, because of the benghazi attack, i know what they want to know most of all. why has no one been held accountable for this? >> these remarks coming a day after national security advisor susan rice seemed to brush off a question whether a new house
9:16 am
committee investigation will uncover anymore evidence. >> we had an accountability review board by a very distinguished group of outsiders. you know, house and senate committees have pronounced on this repeatly. so, it's hard to imagine what, what further will come of yet another committee. >> what about this, tucker? do you think there's a, she has a point, that there's already been these investigations -- >> you know, susan rice investigation will determine she did anything wrong. bernie madoff made a similar point. everyone makes similar point. >> more to the point, there have been these other investigations. >> yes, there have. >> just playing devil's advocate here -- >> it's a fair question. >> ba will we get from another investigation? >> here we know as in the irs case it took a non-profit to get a smoking gun email.
9:17 am
that suggests -- we don't know why they were there, hillary clinton's involvement, et cetera. the idea of asking more questions is a bad idea. this is same thing with global warming, it is settled. be quiet. don't talk no more. journalist, really? i have some questions. let's make you answer them. >> harris, what do you think? >> this is starts where the questions are, one thing i'm saying republican not do start with the pressing question kelly ayote, what the families who lost loved ones is why has no one been held accountable? gop might find favor inside the beltway and getting more americans to tune in. statistically they say they're interested in. they're not beating down the door for answers the american public as a whole. what might make this happen, ask the first question, why isn't anybody held accountable? they like the talking points, those are interesting points but get to the heart issues i think. >> is there any chance it would backfire on republicans?
9:18 am
"fox news poll" basically said, 63% think that, they're doing just for political bain. >> that's right. 38% of the republicans think that their own party is doing this merely for political gain. that is certainly a problem. there are perils within the party itself. however, what i don't understand is, susan rice stands up there forecasting that the investigation would discover nothing. i don't get it. i don't get the aloofness. i don't get the disrespect. i don't get why she is not sitting there i pray to god we get answers from investigation. that is where they lose me on this. why aren't we speaking as american people and why are we still speaking as a party this is terrorist attack. they feel there was investigation. there was report. they feel like they handed over all the information. >> but they didn't. these investigations were woefully insufficient because there were so many roadblocks and such distractions put forward. she doesn't want, let's be honest, she doesn't want an investigation. she doesn't want answers to come out because she is complicit. she is involved with it.
9:19 am
she went out and did whole talking points on sunday shows and blasted herself, why would you do that? she will not want anybody to ask questions like tucker or journalist or any investigator because she might be even more involved and complicit in right? will she put herself in a bad position but she should care. >> do republicans need to stand up and be loud on issue though? they have been beating drum on their own. what does it take to buy in. >> come up with some explanation why this matters now, right? >> well it matters because we lot of people. >> i think to the point that they keep hearing about, the american people keep getting told we handed over thousands of documents. of course those documents there were key documents that were left out of them but they keep hearing from the administration we handed over all this information. we already said we were wrong about the video, so what is the big deal? >> because susan rice tries to divert and say what we should be focusing on today is safety and security of our embassies and
9:20 am
facilities globally. no better way to do that then look back at history and learn from history, what were the mistakes and how can we do that, kirsten if we don't have answers and don't know what went wrong that day. >> we can't even judge, sandra, you bring up a beautiful point. we can't judge how well they protect our embassies, outposts an consulates since that time. we don't know what was ground zero? what did we learn from that event? we can't judge the changes they made are right changes and in fact they're saving lives in the future because we don't know -- >> there is much more involved to be honest. we have to find out how it could be done better but i think there is serious, serious issue fail tour to act and protect individuals when they had advanced knowledge of trouble in that region and that area. we certainly more than any other country in the world, have the capability, we should do better. they deserve better. they're dead instead. >> wow, beautifully said. let's shift gears here. if you think investing more money in your childrens sports
9:21 am
will turn them into the next superstar, well, you might want to rethink that plan. researchers at utah state university are finding that more parents, the more the parents spend, lower level of enjoyment and motivation in young athletes. psychologists say children feel increased pressure to meet parents expectations. this makes the child lose sense of ownership in the sport and may lead them to dropping out all together. look at this your son's catcher and batting equipment can cost upwards of $1100. if you're daughter wants to play hockey, i have one in my household, it could cost as much as $50,000 over a decade. that is a lot of money. i'm guilty of this. give the kids, a chance to experience lots of things. tucker, you have several children. have you shelled out some cash on your kids? have you noticed that they're not that interested? >> i haven't shelled out that much to be honest with you. >> he is not a big spender. >> you're cheap, is what you're saying? >> no. i actually think the key point of parenthood is to make your
9:22 am
kids independent. and the key problem with parenting right now parents are too overbearing. and so there is some value in standing back. let the kids know that you care, you're interested, you're paying some attention. let them play outside with rocks and stuff. i'm not joking at all. the more you get in a kid's face and micromanage his life the more neurotic that child becomes. i've seen it. >> let me bring up a couple of examples that would contradict that. tiger woods. >> right. >> arguably -- >> seems like a happy, well-adjusted guy. oh wait. >> successful athlete. >> except for the girls and german shepherd in a hotel room. >> his dad raised him rigorously playing golf from age3. as young as he could pick up a golf club. serene is a and venus williams, their dad was involved seriously in the upbringing and made a lot of money and are very successful. coy go on. >> east german gymnastics team, same thing. >> a lot of parents, forgive
9:23 am
them they're trying to do this, this is not a bad thing, they're trying to mimic that. they're trying to -- >> high-earning professional athletes? i don't know. one in 300 million. let kids go outside to do what they will, i think. >> kick the can. i used to play that game a lot. >> interesting though, kirsten, if you flip that over and look at other side you do have these parents, kimberly, your son plays a lot of sports, the parents in the stands and have to remind the parents to sit down, this is not an nfl game or an nhl situation, that they need to chill out. that is a lot of money and they have a big ine investment. >> you have to wonder how many are doing for themselves and pushing it for the kids to succeed because it makes parents feel good. there is lot of research that there are probably more olympic athletes, are high-performing athletes didn't have that kind of investment. they're, people who did it because they loved it. they love the sport. >> on the flip side i think it
9:24 am
is good if your child shows an interest or passion for something to be supportive. you don't try to put emphasis on dollars spent. mama got all the lessons for free, baby. >> i want to live at your house. >> lying as -- >> free lessons. how you work it. >> kimberly says, take home the bacon. i want to live with you. >> president obama is blaming the gop for gridlock in washington. really? is that true? and so, did you hear about this? that's what i say, that is what it was actually saying before you cut me off. sound familiar? well, what do we know about men and women when it comes to interrupting? i would have finished that but tucker was trying to cut in because i got so flustered. what did you want to say anyway? >> can't remember. >> yeah, just like a man. ♪.

prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and ask your doctor about celebrex.

♪. >> welcome back to "outnumbered." president obama saying washington doesn't work and he is blaming republicans, telling supporters, quote, we have a party on the other side that has been captured by an ideology that says no to everything. there might have have been a time that was exaggeration but now it is not. kirsten, the president says washington doesn't work. do you think that this is the problem of the republicans? is this all lie in their lap? >> well i think he is right, the republicans don't really want to work with him on anything and they haven't since he came into office. i think this is their approach. this is probably a complaint many presidents would make, blaming things on the other party but i think in particular
9:30 am
the republicans, i mean, tucker, what have they worked with him on? >> in this term? no, they are very anxious, the leadership of the republican party is very anxious to get an immigration deal because their donors are in favor. they want more cheap labor. they think it helps their companies. they are anxious to do that. i don't think they will reach accommodation much the base of republican party -- >> has been wanting to do immigration deal for a long time. >> more complicated than that. washington does its jobs when prevents bad laws. washington work something not consensus and pass it like obamacare. it is filtering out crummy stuff. >> if you come up with ideas and your ideas suck, why should someone support them. >> he had a democratic majority working with him. he wouldn't have been able to do that with the current congress. he was able to get that through. >> but when he had both houses? he hasn't really been able to do other than executive orders. >> i think his immigration plan was great.
9:31 am
so i don't ahe hasn't come up with good ideas. >> not that this isn't on par with other presidents and grouping them and subject matter like obamacare, 179 executive orders as of this morning for this administration. so you talk about what is the incentive for republicans to try to reach across the aisle? you brought up immigration. that might have worked well. maybe they could have gotten together but democrats recently decided no. this white house let all the convicts go, all the murderer, up for dough pourtation, we talked about it this week on the show. that is not a good ground for that. now all the criminals running around. they should have been deported out of the country. the white house might have open conversation about immigration. >> that is different issue. obama had an immigration plan. republicans don't want a path to citizenship. >> some do. >> well, not the people really doing voting. >> that's true. >> so i think there are republicans like "the wall street journal" who want that. >> that's right. >> you don't see a lot of republicans on the hill wanting
9:32 am
to reach that kind of an agreement. >> president still says he has a drawer full of things to do but you have to point out the part of the job for the president is to get two parties to act together. republicans said no, part of job of president obama -- >> you can't do that if they don't want to work with you. >> you have to try. >> he needs to get consensus like reagan has, clinton has in the past. you also look, what did he do when he had the opportunity, when he had both houses? squander it? i don't know. all right, ladies, speak up and stop letting people interrupted you. enough. because the george washington university study shows that both men and women are more likely to interrupt speaking with a woman than with a man. unacceptable. throughout a three-minute conversation women interrupted men just once but men interrupted women three times more. men cut off another man twice and on average -- blah, blah. >> blah, blah. by the way, you're aiming at
9:33 am
most interesting part of the study, women interrupted women more often than men do. >> no, i said that. >> not only do you interrupt, you don't even listen to her. >> i study, i am never interrupted mid-sentence by men, ever, ever. i'm always like three times a day interrupted by women. this is different sample. >> we don't obviously dot "o'reilly factor." >> kimberly i think tucker was cutting you of with his mind. >> vulcan mind trick. is november going to work. you can try. >> why do you think this happens, tucker? do you think we're less interesting? careful. >> just to go back to the data here, women interrupt women more than men interrupt women. >> we got that part of data. >> what is your point. >> sort of undermines your point somehow men don't take women seriously. women don't take other women
9:34 am
seriously. they interrupt more. >> how does it work in your house? you have four women, right? >> right. in my house i sit there. i make a point. cut off instantly. derided, i nod. the conversation continues without my presentation. >> maybe they're not good points. there is always that possibility. or maybe women just talk a lot too but we're very charming and chatty. >> most charming. i totally agree with that the upside, no one more charming than women to eat with. >> my husband says there is constant dialogue going on. he feels he can insert himself at any point like a commercial. like a commercial break. i can't imagine because i never talk. >> exactly. she is like silent. >> what about your house, sandra, what goes on over there. >> no, i don't cut anybody off. i try not to at least. i think it's a perception thing. i probably do spend a lot of time cutting them up. >> i'm getting interrupted right now. >> finish men's senses a lot, because you struggle so much to
9:35 am
get your dang point out. >> or answer questions for other people. >> what? i will interrupt my own segment, interrupt myself, try something new today. we have serious news to talk about because a dangerous wildfire is burning out of control. dry conditions and heavy winds fanning the flames. where evacuations are underway for thousands of families who didn't know if they will have a home to come back to and some won't. add this to the irony file. allegations of unequal pay for a woman who ran "the new york times" until yesterday. the explosive scandal, next. marge: you know, there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they're delicious, and an excellent source of fiber to help support regularity. wife: mmmm husband: these are good! marge: the tasty side of fiber. from phillips.

"happening now." >> we'll be watching jon scott. jon: thank you, sandra. >> the first female editor of "the new york times" let go by the newspaper amid reports that she asked for a pay raise to bring her salary to the level of the man who previously had it as editor. this came after "the times" ran an article and online video how working women could go about asking for more money. unless you work here, i suppose.
9:41 am
so -- >> how ironic. >> greatest story ever. >> if you read deeper into this, tucker, what you find out is that, they called her names and didn't like the way she was managing but this is not about her. this is a greater issue. was this about her being a woman? >> i would be careful of saying they didn't like the way she managed because women are very much standing for her right now. >> but they weren't in charge. >> this is my problem with identity politics. i'm enjoying the story. >> why? >> because of irony. she is a woman. she is not every woman. i'm a man. i'm not every man. barack obama is african-american president. the idea he that he is not for every african african-american. you assess people on own individual behavior. maybe she did a bad job. >> tucker, let me intervene. since she took over in 2011, she has been there just under three years. >> right. >> the stock of "the new york times" has doubled. >> this was a bad company with a
9:42 am
high stock price. >> it is outperforming the general stock market by 40%. >> thank you, federal reserve. look, nobody beliefs that the "new york times" will be turning a big profit in near term. nobody that knows the business thinks that. come on. >> that being said, if the revelations are true, that she went in and asked, simply why am i not getting paid as much as my male predecessor? it would not be all together shocking, except for the fact that they put out all the editorials saying women should be paid equal amounts to men because of this a recent study show showed that women journalists make, sorry, 82 cents on every dollar that a male journalist makes. also, 63% of all journalists are male. so it is highly tilted towards the male when it comes to the journalism industry. >> i want to bring this back where we are with the story. >> i'm employer of a lot of people. if you adjust for amount of uninterrupted time spent in the work place, women make more than men in almost every category. b, try to hire a male
9:43 am
