jon: we are back with more in one hour. >> "outnumbered" starts now. ♪ >> this is "outnumbered." i'm andrea tantaros. here with us today, harris faulkner, host of the brand new show on fbn, kennedy on our sister network, fox business. also from fbn, "money" with melissa francis host melissa francis. and today's #oneluckyguy, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor mark iglar is back from sunny florida. mark you're outnumbered again. >> what am i doing here. i love being with you guys. what is going on out there? >> it is nine. >> a pile of this, like white stuff, what is that? >> i don't know. because it has not been white in
9:01 am
two weeks. it is gray. >> great to be with you. i'm sorry. >> earn a living. >> please. >> welcome back. >> great to be back. >> we will drop that. >> i'm available for bar mitzvahs. >> will you spend your son's bar mitzvah? >> if it takes discounting that. >> we'll talk about that during overtime. let's get to the news. kayla mueller who died while being held by isis is remembered. kayla's family recalling a 26-year-old who dedicated her life to helping those in need, whether at home in arizona or in some of the most dangerous places in the world. >> kayla's calling was to help those who were suffering whether in her hometown of prescott or the other side of the world. she has done more in her incredible 26 years than many people can ever imagine doing in
9:02 am
their lifetime. >> meantime president obama in an interview pushing back against claims that he and his administration did not do all that they could to rescue mueller. this is "politico" reports there were no plans to save her in the weeks leading up to her death largely because u.s. officials had lost sight of her whereabouts, following a failed rescue attempt last summer. here's the president. >> we devoted enormous resources and always devoted enormous resources to freeing captives or hostages anywhere in the world and, you know i deployed, an entire operation at significant risk to rescue not only her but the other individuals that had been held and probably missed them by a day or two precisely because we have that commitment. >> also in that interview president obama repeated the
9:03 am
standard administration policy that america does not pay ransom to terrorists, no exceptions. the president says telling this to the families of hostages is quote, as tough as anything that i do. meantime there are reports that isis proposed a prisoner swap for kayla a move the administration's critics say that could be the result of the taliban five swap for sergeant bowe bergdahl. the mueller pamly -- family reported told that there were negotiations underway with isis to exchange kayla for this woman known lady al cade serving a 86 year sentence for trying to murder american soldiers. a possible second negotiation reportedly involved money. mark, i want to go to you first. this is not easy. i certainly do not doubt president obama has a heavy heart this morning. this is such a sad story. >> he is a father. two daughters. you can take jabs at him some of his policies, that demean thor
9:04 am
almost like sounds he is reading from a sound book. he is hurting. he would have done more if he could have. he did everything they could. >> what do you say with the parents? arguably they saw the prisoner swap which set a very dangerous precedent. we heard marco rubio saying look, this started to spiral out of the control. we know the president wanted to close gitmo. we saw him in rose garden, saw him hug alleged deserter to exchange for five dangerous terrorists. if you're family of kayla mueller, are you saying, what about my daughter no. >> there is nothing he can do or say to me or my family, my child, god forbid that will make me okay. the concept of commander-in-chief the greatest good for greatest number. we can't pay isis or ransoms because you're funding terrorism. you're settings up other people for potential kidnappings ransoms in the future.
9:05 am
makes us at risk. no parent will understand that but i think i do. >> if you look at twitter yesterday, a lot of people were upset. i was reading tweets of course mourning mueller. of course he wanted to shut down gitmo, being president obama. this wouldn't have facilitated that. people are really outraged at this because they don't feel lying the administration tried hard enough to save her. >> no, i think they can see through what's happening. i agree with mark, how painful must that be for five prisoners to be traded for a man who all signs are pointing to the fact that he was a deserter. here is a young woman, who is so brave and so good, drawn to a part of the world where very few people would dare go because she found god in people suffering and wanted to alleviate that. the injustice, the emotional pain from this it is going to have, it will have reverberations. >> one of the things that feel watching this melissa you look how the administration has handled this it almost sends a message to americans that, if you're going to go abroad if
9:06 am
you're going to do this type of thing, whether humanitarian or otherwise, you need help, you might not rely on the administration to help you, whether you work for the government or whether you're an ambassador in benghazi. requesting help. the united states may not come save you. you're on your own. >> really did feel that way. i think some of us watched the press conferences yesterday as parents. i mean you looked at the family members there, weeping you saw yourself in their shoes and when you read things like, aid workers family reassured to the end that the obama administration was working on the case, you put yourself in their shoes. can you imagine feeling so powerless and calling again and again and saying, what are you doing? what is the latest? and then you hear reports later like the ones from catherine herridge they had information of eight hostages together in one spot. they sat on the information looking for more reassurances that, it was going to work out, more details from the plan. you would feel so powerless and so helpless. and you hear those families and think to yourself maybe this is
9:07 am
a tipping point. because we can all empathize with them. >> a couple of things come to mind. representative paul goeser who is from arizona, republican from arizona, the home state of kayla mueller, said this morning or yesterday, echoing what the president said, from reports we know the family was pressed for $7 million in ransom and proof of life last may. we didn't pay. he says once you do that, for one hostage then every american abroad become as target for that. just kind of what you were saying as well. >> yeah. >> so then the question becomes do we pay? there are some criticisms though that the president opened up a can of worms by mentioning this because there is a time gap in the intelligence that is being reported. we don't have all of it that they had some information on whereabouts of hostages in may. they didn't move until july. why the time gap? the administration is being asked about that. did they really do all they could do? that is probably the line of questioning you will get to go down the road of more than the money. >> i'm just really curious whether anyone on this panel
9:08 am
thinks that he should have paid? very quickly. anybody criticized him, should have paid out? i know that is what i would have wanted if it was my child but should he pay out? >> it is not money. it is time gap. >> american journalists austin tice, who we're waiting to see his whereabouts inside of syria. the question what do you do to get him back given the opportunity. we'll have to see what happens next. meanwhile today for very first time since taking office president obama is asking congress to approve military action against isis. the president is expected to make a statement about his request in just a few hours from now. this comes amid reports that 20,000 foreign fighters are streaming into syria and iraq unprecedented recruitment going on right now. to join those bloodthirsty savages. proposed new authorization for use of military force does not support enduring deployment much u.s. ground forces we're told. but a letter from the white house to congress accompanying that request says
9:09 am
quote, the authorization i proposed would provide the flexibility to conduct ground combat operations in other more limited circumstances such as rescue operations involving u.s. or coalition personnel or the use of figures ops -- special-ops forces to use against isis and leadership, end quote. concerned did i i will come to you first. the president is stepping into ground that democrats who support him probably never thought they would see. from a libertarian perspective how do you view this. >> i view this, it will take us two years to train 5,000 people yet in the middle east, i isis is having success coordinating 20,000 people to fight with them. i'm sure there is a way for some of those middle eastern countries and allies, allied in some strategic ways for them to convince thousands of their own people to fight against isis. >> i think it was estimated up above 50,000 isis has now. if they're gaining another 20 or so that we know about some are
9:10 am
coming from the united states. we have some confirmation they have at least 150 people going to join the fight. >> they're going in through turkey. i haven't read anything to the contrary. >> amazing. for the bottom line for first time we're seeing the door crack open. maybe jordan is changing it. they were amassing at the border of iraq with their boots on the ground if you will mark. >> i look at this as positive change. we need something. i watch you guys day after day criticizing the president for not doing something different. the bombings didn't work apparently but worked for jordan they say. what i love president through this no longer am i sticking with my policy no boots will ever go on the ground. what i'm hearing they can go on the ground not for enduring period of time whatever the hell that means. they can go on the ground. great. we have people no better than him they -- >> you're a lawyer. you read the fine print. let's read the fine print.
9:11 am
>> okay. all right. >> president obama it is great that he is doing something different but what is really going to change? i see this as a political move a political move by the president to bring congress into this so he has somebody to blame if this goes wrong. i want to be consistent. i don't want to be one of these conservatives goes after him for following the constitution right? i want to applaud him for actually going to congress. isn't it interesting going on to congress on things he doesn't want to do. things he wants to do, he circumvents congress. this is not a substitute for a strategy. >> no, but this is the first time that we get to see congress go out and really debate this full-throated. this is what we elent our leaders to do. if nothing else, this is what we send them to washington to do. sit down to talk about things to protect us, to stand up and get out there. >> they have been doing that, melissa. >> but this is opportunity to stand together to debate something and come together.
9:12 am
>> this process absolutely needs to take place. i agree with tim kaine and rand paul. >> house speaker john boehner says when it comes to fight as war, congress should not tie the president's hands. we'll see what happens pogue forward. >> they won't. >> ed royce republican from california, u.s. representative is calling for the president to make his case to the american people. they will begin a review with his committee, the house foreign affairs committee tomorrow. they are going to hold a hearing and begin a review of the aumf that authorization coming up. also the president is set to meet later today with secretary hagel at the oval office, the defense secretary. that will be interesting. that is a closed-door meeting. we'll wait for reporting to come out of that. meanwhile nbc is dishing out punishment on brian williams have you heard? it will be a while before we see him in a anchor seat. can he recover after he admitted he misled the public about his experiences covering the iraq war? opening statements in the trial of the man accused of

9:17 am
suspending nightly news anchorman brian williams for six months without payee effective immediately. this comes six days after williams apologized on air for falsely claiming he was on a helicopter shot down by enemy fire during the iraq war in 2003. nbc universal ceo steve burke releasing a statement reading in part quote brian's actions are inexcusable. in this suspension is severe and appropriate. he deserves a second chance and we are rooting for him. brian as shared his deep remorse with me and he is committed to winning back everyone's trust. as someone who worked at nbc both as a child and adult, amazing to see the brand implode. not just with brian williams. you watch what happened with the today show, "meet the press." this is a lot more serious but it has been amazing. andrea, i will start with you. do you think that he can win
9:18 am
back this trust? >> i think he has to put the effort forward. to do so. i don't know -- >> what would that look like though? >> look, he had one shot. in crisis communications i always say you get one bite at the apple to really get it right. he missed that moment when he gave that false apology. look, this is very severe as you know. six months. it is unprecedented. i think nbc has to decide if they bring somebody back. when i looked at the severity of the punishment i thought okay, he really did something wrong. do you bring somebody back after the punishment was so severe? also i thought of this too. think about his reporting. that affected the bush administration. think about that. he was basically saying at the time it was so bad in iraq that my health copter got -- helicopter got shot down or so bad in hurricane katrina a man killed himself this is serious stuff. nbc has a big decision to make. >> mark?
9:19 am
>> answer to question is no, he doesn't come back. i say this out of love. >> i love you, brian. >> i don't tune into a newscast for the haircut for the suits. i tune into it because there is credibility allegedly there. the minute that is gone, this isn't j.lo lying about her age or nick my minaj saying she is 26 when she is not this from an anchor person who repeatedly tried to make himself look better. can't take him seriously anymore. >> bernie goldberg hit the nail on the head he talked about this, a blurring of the lines between news and entertainment. entertainers to on leno, everybody comes with the entertaining story they embellish it. you take it for granted entertaining not necessarily word for word true. he forgot he is a reporter who has to stick to the exact facts. >> i don't think that is what he forgot. i don't think he forgot he was reporter. there were some reports that he
9:20 am
wanted to take over "the tonight show." this person had such grand did i asty. he thought himself transcend ant as journalist that couldn't be contained by the rules. he needs to go rehab to dry out the lie out. >> is there rehab for that? >> before we talk about his performance if you will on the david letterman show on 10th anniversary when said event happened. that is not where it happened at first. he told us on television on his own show, "nbc nightly news." is that supposed to be infotainment too? my big question is, what will he be doing the next six months? >> welcome to conflatetors anonymous. >> what does he do over the next six months to repair his reputation? >> how he is going to do that? how is he going to do that if he can't be on the air? will he tweet like crazy. from what i read he is not that active on social media anyway. what will he help do to repair
9:21 am
that information. >> being out of the public eye a way to repair it? six months he will be forgotten. >> no. >> one rule in journalism, tell the truth. >> tone deaf. the white house press secretary on the same day we learned that american kayla mueller died at the hands of isis with a statement that has many folks furious and reporters dumfounded troubling signs for hillary clinton. she gets closer to making a white house run official. why major group supporting her could have problems raising cash. a new republican effort to force her into the race earlier. ner ensure active heart health. heart: i maximize good stuff like my potassium and phytosterols which may help lower cholesterol. new ensure active heart health supports your heart and body so you stay active and strong. ensure, take life in.

listen. >> the president is saying he seems to be implying here that the threat of climate change is greater than the threat of terrorism. >> i think john, the point the president is making that there are many more people on, on an annual basis who have to confront the impact, the direct impact on their lives of climate change, or on the spread of a disease than on terrorism. >> oh, yeah, you heard that right. the president, according to his spokesman believes drastic changes to the environment pose a bigger threat in the daily lives of americans than terrorism. and those remarks, coming the same day we learned of the death of kayla mueller, the fourth american to die in the hands of isis since last summer. harris, how many americans have died from climate change? >> well, i can't give you an exact number. >> 700 million. 850 million, kennedy.
9:27 am
there have been beheadings by climate -- >> you're being facetious. >> you should know me better by now. >> same facetious point i have read made climate change can not dress up cross continent borders, look like a neighbor, plan plot, then blow something up. >> incredibly tone deaf if you're kayla mueller's family and hear the president say climate change is more dangerous than terrorism you would vomit all over the white e white house. >> if you take it literally. >> i'm so outnumbered, let me say this okay. the timing might have been off and i will take out the might okay, but what they're saying, he clarified very eloquently, about if he replay it, we will, it affects more people in terms of numbers. >> i felt pretty affected what was going on in terms of numbers. no, this is all about the president wants to make corporations the enemy. that is so much easier. he is comfortable fighting back
9:28 am
against the 1%, against companies who are changing the environment, rather than against isis. so this is a more comfortable palatable enemy for the white house. than isis who he does not want to stand up. >> is there anything factually incorrect about the statement that more americans -- >> did you read the article? >> more americans are impacted by climate change. >> mark, this is the thing. you said timing was off? the science is off. point to recent example. that is the most important thing. the science is off. we had a snowstorm in two weeks ago new york. they told us new york city was being blown out. we had to give up our freedom. no cars on the road. guess what, models wrong on science, 24 hours. how about those models 20 years from now. >> let me step in there, the models are exactly right for the people in boston. we don't want to be completely tone deaf. people who lost their homes going into the sea. >> weather, climate, two different things. there is a lot we can't do about
9:29 am
the weather. what about the telegraph report that shows the original data versus published data, the nasa published data. there was a great disparity because they lied about the actual data until someone went back to these weather stations and in south america and antarctica thought, maybe something is amiss here. they realized there is scandalous discrepancy what we've been sold. >> you guys done? >> something is definitely happening, mark. if something is happening but hysteria, this crisis, spending taxpayers dollars to fix it. until we have it as a fact, i don't think we should -- >> want you to move on. so let's move on. >> whoa. you pushing me around on this couch? on my couch? whoa, couples lore. >> i'm outnumbered. i apologize. >> words of this sentence because they could apply to mark. signs of potential trouble. but, no, i'm talking about hillary clinton here. "politico" is reporting that the
9:30 am
main super pacs supporting her expected presidential candidacy is having a difficult time making its fund-raising goal as a new memoir by president obama's one time political advisor david axelrod is revealing harsh words he wrote about mrs. clinton in anticipate memo. in the lead-up to the 2008 democratic primary he told president barack obama his expected rival hillary clinton is not healing figure. would have difficulty convincing voters she is candidate of future. republican committee is launching a new effort, hillary hiding. a campaign to force her into the 2016 arena earlier than she might like. two different concepts there. melissa i want to start backwards first. really, do you want to taunt hillary to come out faster? what does that get you as the gop? >> i mean i think it is interesting also that they try to say there is any trouble
9:31 am
around the clintons and money. being the money person here on the couch they don't ever have a problem generating dollars at any point in time. so to try to say they will have trouble raising money for her i think is outrageous. trying to force her out in the open i don't think is a terrible strategy. one of those people in the abstract appeals to a lot of voters. when she actually does get out there and speak she is not terribly likeable. so i actually don't think that's a bad strategy but the idea they won't be able to raise all the money on god's green earth is insane. >> axelrod, has a new book out and i think the goal is to sell books, right? there is some juicy stuff kennedy. >> he will not get rehired by anyone else. axelrod lost the moustache and his dignity. he put it out there in the open. he never liked hillary clinton to begin with. he can recycle the memos to apply to 2016. they will still work because
9:32 am
according to back then she has not been able to fix, i don't think it's a worse idea to smoke her out you're absolutely right about that. >> could it backfire? >> it could but i see they want to do it. they want her to be the frontrunner so the media will focus on her so she can dominate headlines. take a little bit of focus off this republican field. we know the media loves to focus on -- >> backfire look like. you're a crisis manager formerly in politics. you say to the candidate this is what could happen? >> if she starts to make points and starts to point fingers at republicans for certain things, media could take the bait. it is dangerous harris if she comes out now, she has to talk about everything going on in the administration which she used to work. >> mark if she thought it was good idea she wouldn't have delayed the campaign until july she says when she gives us a decision. >> this is like a scene out of princess bride. >> you do? i love that movie. >> they're trying to turn it
9:33 am
around to make you think you know what i'm saying? they're reversing it. >> no. we don't know what you're saying. >> they wanted her to come out and give a play-by-play and tell everybody they want her to come out and here's why. this is just the reverse. they want her to stay -- >> okay. >> some democrats like elizabeth warren please? joe biden. jim webb. >> we'll watch it. >> one famous liberal city pushing the envelope in a big way, hitting residents with a first of the nation soda tax to tackle obesity. good idea or big government out of control? sound like what they did in new york a little bit. the trial of the man accused of killing "american sniper" chris kyle is getting underway today. how the effect of the blockbuster movie could affect the outcome are there. right after the show head to the web for outnumbered overtime foxnews.com/outnumbered. click on overtime tab. there is live chat. you have to sign on that through your facebook, your twitter.

♪ >> today's day one of the "american sniper" murder trial. opening statements begin this morning. more than two years after navy seal chris kyle and a friend were shot and killed at a shooting range in texas. they were trying to help a marine eddie ray routh. he was allegedly suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder and police say he drove to his sister's house and admitted to killing the men. now a jury of 10 women and two men are going to have to decide if he is guilty of murder or not guilty of by reason of insanity but as this trial moves forward in a small texas town, the story is already known to many who have seen or heard about the box
9:39 am
office hit, "american sniper." the film tells real-life story of chris kiley, the deadliest sniper in american history. the film didn't touch on this murder as much, if that is what you would call it. certainly you are a defense attorney. what do you make of the makeup of the jury and how could you possibly defend this person? >> okay. well, first of all, if i'm paid i can defend him. secondly -- >> what a good lawyer you are. that is what we expect. >> who in their right mind would do this would be my argument? no one. the fact he tried to hill himself, family members doctors say he definitely has ptsd and whatever else, he is not in his right mind. that is only first hurdle. >> ptsd is not insanity. >> correct. he has a mental illness. that gets you into the ballpark. the second thing will fail. he must show he legally didn't know right from wrong at the time. facts like him taking the victim's car and fleeing the
9:40 am
scene, leading police shays. enough. right there is enough to show he knew at least enough to know right from wrong. >> how do you deal with the movie in the theater at the time of the trial though? no matter what you say, there is so much out in the national conversation right now. >> right. >> how could that possibly not have impact. >> i deal with that as trial lawyer. like picture a pink tiger on a unicycle with a nazi helmet juggling. put that out of your mind. how do you do that? >> here is what essentially the judge said because the defense asked for a stay. they wanted more time. they also asked for a change of venue. the judge didn't grant that, conceivably this movie already made $300 million. it really eclipsed the national conversation. everyone knows who chris kyle is even outside -- >> can we get to the makeup of jury mark. because it is unique to have that many female jurors selected by prosecution and defense. what do you think about that? >> i think for sure both sides
9:41 am
think female jurors will help them because that is no accident. >> what is the thinking for the prosecution? >> you're the experts. >> you're the lawyer though. you've been a prosecutor. you're a defense lawyer. >> i want, i want people who are open-minded, who are compassionate souls. i'm leaning more towards women now, right? i want them to pie into seeing my client as a human being, who wouldn't do this in his right mind. who is i can is. i don't know, are women the right ones? >> but earlier you said if you're the prosecution you're hoping that women are going to be mama bears. >> sure. >> he killed bradley cooper. how dare he kill an american hero. >> that's right. that may be it. listen, by the way going back to your point earlier everyone knew who o.j. was. everyone knew about the chase. it is not do they know about it but can they set it aside? when they're sitting there in the courtroom, yes, sir person in the polyester yes judge i can put that aside. >> they say they can? >> that is food enough legally
9:42 am
unless proved early on by evidence. >> can they really set it aside? >> i think they can. it will come out he was hero. his wife will be first witness called. she will say what a wonderful person this is. the question they always ask in texas, i tried cases did he need killing? in murder cases they ask. this is just the opposite. he is a hero. >> that is interesting. you know, i wondered if there wasn't some sexism in play here? because just from what i've read you know, is it a case of, you want more women jurors because you think you can sway them one way or the other? that you can get them to change their minds? >> what else is there. >> be artificial. i think they chose them because they wanted the smarter sex but that is whole -- >> no, no. ladies listen -- >> is there something like that at play here. >> understand something. my job as trial lawyer, when i was prosecuting cases or defending cases to win at all costs as long as it is within the rules. i am thinking if a woman is
9:43 am
going to be more receptive to my argument that's what i want. if someone with darker skin is going to help me, i'm looking for people with darker skin. >> you're not buying into the stereotypes then, that is what i was going to. which side does women help more? who will this benefit in your mind, prosecution or defense? what do you really think? what is your gut? >> when it comes down to it all about what the woman is say, what is flowing from her lips. not necessarily whether she pees standing up or sitting down. >> whoa. >> you're about to be one unlucky guy, mark. i will go out on a him and say it. >> i met woman. >> we're moving on. >> yea snow. boston has more snow than some colorado ski resort towns. my goodness. and as the city tries to figure out what in the world to do with all that snow, send it to california, i say. more is on the way. we will have the latest forecast. of the lady, another reason to go for that awkward looking dude
