9:00 am
♪ >> we're back in on a hour. "outnumbered" started now. sandra: fox news aletter. deadly attack targeting christians this easter weekend this is "outnumbered." i'm sandra smith. here today, andrea tanteros, host of "kennedy" on fox business, kennedy. syndicated radio talk show host, fox news contributor, meghan mccain. joining us on the catch for the first -- couch for the first time, "mediabuzz" host howard kurtz is here. >> hope to be career break for me. sandra: a lot of news today. let's get right to it. at least 70 people killed in the attack in pakistan. it happened at a park in lahore
9:01 am
where families were celebrating easter. many victims were women and children. a faction of the taliban publicly supported isis claiming responsibility. now funerals are being held as those left behind mourn the loved ones they lost. conor powell is live in jerusalem. conor? reporter: andrea, pakistan is in mourning today, beginning a three-day period remembering those killed on sunday. the death count right now at 70, with more than 300 people injured this was the deadliest attack in more than about a year or so in pakistan. now, the group that claimed responsibility was a taliban faction that recently broke away from the taliban and pledged their allegiance to isis. they have a specifically targeted christians in the past this is at least the fifth attack they have launched in about last year-and-a-half or so. they said they were targeting christians. now many of the dead on sunday were in fact christian but
9:02 am
overwhelmingly those injured and killed at this amusement park were in fact muslims. many children, many families, many women. this was an area that was, simply an amusement park you saw on a sunday afternoon packed full of families and children. people having a good time. many celebrating easter. but also a lot were just there simply to get outside on a weekend. pakistani authorities have cracked down on militants in recent months since that attack in peshawar that killed more than 100 or so a year-and-a-half ago but today's or sunday's attack really proving once again militants can strike whenever, wherever they want in pakistan. part of the problem pakistan faces going forward is that the pakistani military continues this policy of sort of differentiating between good taliban and bad taliban. they see the good taliban as those that launched attacks in neighboring afghanistan and bad taliban is those that launch
9:03 am
attacks in pakistan. part of the problem though, sandra is once you support one group of militants, those militants begin to bleed over into other groups and you have a situation where there really is this swamp that analysts call it of a militant insurgency that plagues pakistan and neighboring afghanistan. this is something pakistan refuses to come to gripe with. they continue to have shaded policy between good and bad militants that is the results, andrea. sandra: conor thank you. according to watchdog group open doors usa over 7100 christians killed in 2015 for faith-related reasons and showing no signs of stopping. on march 4th, gunmen storm ad retirement home run by catholic nuns in yemen killing 16. in february attacks targeting christian farmers in nigeria reportedly left 300 dead.
9:04 am
in december isis killed 18 people in three separate attacks targeting christian-owned restaurants in syria. so is the obama administration doing enough to protect them? that is a question many are asking today, howard. >> certainly doesn't feel like there is a sense of global leadership now. even in an age terror attacks have become almost daily fixture in the headlines, this particular attack in pakistan, the indiscriminate savagery targeting amusement park, many children and targeting christians but killing mostly muslims on easter sunday it shocks the conscience. united states can not prevent any attack in pakistan, nigeria, afghanistan, all these splinter groups. it feels at time the world is out of control. of course the leadership responsibility falls to the u.s. sandra: i spoke with general keane, megan on friday evening. he said the world is starving
9:05 am
for american leadership and you feel that today as we mourn those lost. >> i read this with special kind of heart break with christians being attack. i'm first person to say with all the list christians targeting around the world, doesn't get as much news as paris attacks, brussels attacks, why, i don't really know. i will say there is distinct vacuum since we pulled out of iraq. everything is growing. isis is growing. al qaeda is growing. we have a president choosing to tango in the dark literally after an attack and insped of sowing support globally. not only united states is losing but globally we're in such need of a strong leader to express the america that we all believe n i think it just shows the rise of trump. many things as much as i don't like him he is showing strength and showing america has a role to play. he believes in american exceptionalism. i don't believe our president does. sandra: we heard that from you, many times, andrea, filling the
9:06 am
void. 14 of confirmed 70 dead are confirmed christians. what do you make of the administration's response to this. andrea: they don't want to address issues when it comes to the holy war and that is exactly how it is. i would love to ask you, howie, why don't we see more coverage from the american media? as megan points out all weekend long donald trump or cruz ted cruz. not about the holy war. there is hesitancy to address it. they say isis is not islamic. why not? is there appetite? we see christians moving to donald trump shockingly someone they feel will defend them. sandra you bring this up all the time. they want someone who just doesn't hate them but defend them. christians are starving for leadership too. why don't we see the american media hone in on it more? >> i think to some extent some attacks in faraway places get overshadowed if americans are not among the victims. the campaign has sucked up a lot
9:07 am
of media oxygen. this is war against christians in a lot of these countries and we have responsibility to do more. sandra: the poem spoke out about this in -- pope spoke out in st. fight ear oer's square, saying pakistan should -- st. peter's square, that pakistan -- >> when those nuns were killed at the nursings home, that rips to the very heart of the vatican and the faith and it is holiest day of the year. just goes to show you it is not a holy war. if, you believe in something, if you have faith, if you're guided by some overwhelming principle you would think that there would be, i don't know, any level of mutual respect because obviously there is no armament. there are no attacks during ramadan. you said it is indiscriminate. it is not indiscriminate. they knew exactly what they were
9:08 am
doing. >> indiscriminate in terms of women and children. christians are the tar get, no question about it. >> so profoundly offensive. comes in a country the reason there are these attacks because you have a leader who is not even moderate but is sighing maybe we shouldn't have violence against women in certain provinces? maybe we should acknowledge other religions and their celebrations? but this form of fascist missile tant islam -- militant islam is mind-boggling. sandra: pakistan continues to mourn ones lost. andrea: new raids in the brussels after last week's terror attacks. three people detained. police under judge's order release ad man that the belgium media reported may have been the mysterious man in white seen in the surveillance image at the brussels airport. that suspect still on the run. meanwhile the death toll in the attacks rising to 35. state department confirming four americans were killed, including justin and stephanie shults, a

couple from tennessee. all this as the white house faces new fallout over president obama's decision not to cut short his trip to cuba and argentina despite the attacks. secretary of state john kerry defending that call. >> president of the united states's scheduled is not set by terrorists. the president of the united states has major diplomatic responsibilities. he has to engage with other countries. that was an important part of trying to build a relationship and achieve some of our goals with respect to human rates, with respect to transformation in syria, in cuba and elsewhere. and i think the president, you know, life doesn't stop because one terrible incident takes place in one place. andrea: life doesn't stop, but life was doing the wave and life was doing the tango and so it seems to me, howie, if you have secretary of state john kerry out explaining on the sunday shows they know they did something wrong. they feel the need to explain.
9:10 am
>> you know i'm not in the camp that says president obama should have cut short the cuba trip and come rushing back home. there is a level you don't want to let terrorists dictate the schedule of the united states. the optics of use doing tango in argentina and awful and belgium attacks dominating the news. where i thought the biggest misstep the first time president spoke publicly. he had a prepared speech to give to cuban audience, he devoted as you know, 51 seconds to attacks, and pivoted to prepared remarks. that is like after the paris attacks, his own admission and white house's own admission he didn't seem to understand how people, the emotional need for presidential leadership at a time when nato ally had been attacked and so many people had been killed. andrea: you're nodding, meghan. >> i disagree with you. he shouldn't be running home if fear. at sam point you're hanging out
9:11 am
with communist dictator and doing the wave and spend 51 seconds in the stands, that is so far removed what we expect from our leader. i'm scared and ped tried with another terrorist attack in the united states and we have a leader who doesn't care and doesn't mind dancing with sexy woman in argentina. to say he is not ronald reagan is understatement. it makes my brain explode. it is why donald trump winning. exact example why donald trump is winning because we want our fears and concerns globally and nationally validated. he just doesn't seem to care. >> how many times does he have to apologize? how many times when he comes out and makes one of these missteps. i agree with you, i don't think it is necessary for a leader to put his tail between his legs and run home every time one of these things happens. if you are a serious person you can create a serious moment wherever you are. and you can meet with your advisors and you can come out and you can say something substantial that shows that you have compassion for allies and
9:12 am
you know this whole thing that life must go on, well it doesn't for the people who died. >> yeah. >> incredibly insensitive for victims families who are mourning who lost their lives. it really doesn't go on for them. andrea: the message john kerry was espousing all weekends, leaders in foreign capitals were embarrassed at rhetoric coming out of the united states of america in the back and forth on republican side between ted cruz and donald trump. sandra: spend time addressing that alone, andrea. you're communications guy. how is it that the administration takes 51 seconds at a baseball game to respond to terrorist attacks in brussels. but then we immediately in the aftermath we hear from john kerry how embarrassed he is about republican. >> with his sunglasses and dad jeans. >> mom jeans. >> holding his microphone like this with sunglasses on in the stands. i can't tell you how offensive i found it. has he completely checked out or they don't care but it is
9:13 am
humiliating as an american to have a president who doesn't care. andrea: howie, over the weekend we saw protests in belgium. people seem fed up with multiculturalism. we saw this in germany after attacks on new year's eve. we hear law enforcement was pressured to report a lost instances of muslim crime and rape in these countries. but the media in europe spun it a little differently. they decided to say, oh, these are belgian right-wingers. why doesn't the press in europe even after an attack, even after rapes we've seen, even after refugees issues, why don't we see countries and media not covering problems that are so obvious? >> probably a case of oversensitivity not wanting to tar entire muslim community with brush of terrorism. if you say, look, there are a lot of muslims that live in places like brussels that are supportive of or sympathetic to radical jihadism, not unlike the american media sometimes being a little too careful.
9:14 am
to circle back to john kerry, for a second, he was acting as a democrat, not a diplomat. he was taking shot at donald trump, didn't name him, echoed gop platform. hillary clinton said that world leaders are embarrassed about the gop and donald trump. andrea: a little political. the investigation into the hillary clinton email server could be coming to an end. new report detailing next phase of the fbi probe and what it could mean for clinton on the campaign trail. secretary of state john kerry slamming republican candidates saying rhetoric in wake of brussels terror attack is hurting america's image abroad. is it or is political correctness putting us in danger? catch more on the webb. foxnews.com/outnumbered. click on the o.t. tab. you watch howie kurtz on sunday. you get to ask him questions on why the media does all the

9:19 am
with clinton's long-time aides. those interviews will help prosecutors and investigators whether they knew about the government secrets were coming over a non-secured personal server when she was secretary of state. the presidential candidate could be interviewed and no word when that will take place. howie, what do you think about this? is this formality bringing in long-term aides or are they really on to something? >> you couldn't conduct an investigation without talking to people around hillary clinton so it would be pretty evident it was a whitewash. you have to do it. not a formality. i don't necessarily think it will lead to criminal charges. this self-inflicted ailment is like fever hillary clinton can not shake. there are times when it is low-grade and fades from the news and at times she has coughing fits when new material comes out. to some extent politically she has taken the hit she will take-n-baked into the campaign cake.

honesty and trustworthy numbers the in polls in part relate to the email scandal. she has to hope nothing worse comes out. i don't think it is formality at all. >> she is emphatic there is not going to be charges, andrea, but what i want to know is this a slow eregs or is that enough to hurt her chances or does there have to be indictment for her to lose the nomination at this point? andrea: i think as far as bringing in the aides i think this is a big deal. we know from the foia emails that cheryl mills and huma abedin were colluding to suppress evidence. fbi works as everybody knows. they collect all the data. they bring in the suspects, right? then they ask them these questions. if huma or if cheryl mills tries to lie to the fib by, that is a felony, 10 years immediately. that is how they always get everybody. 100% conviction rate. how they got martha stewart. all you have to do is lie or you have to cover up. we know they acted together to collude that evidence. i think there is strong chance either of these two women will go to prison.

hillary clinton i don't believe they will indict her. i think entire administration is in on it. i think she should go to jail. i do not believe they will indict. i believe the fbi will recommend charges. sandra: there are two outcomes, right? she knowingly or negligently exchanged classified information, right? andrea: right. sandra: howie, to your point a lot of people assume it is baked into hillary clinton and impacting her campaign, but bernie sanders hasn't opened the door. at what point in the investigation does he decide to use it against her? >> i think bernie sanders who won several states over the weekend has decided he doesn't have to go there because it constantly in the news. there is a federal investigation. media are always reporting on it. his brand, i will not get personal with secretary clinton as he calls her and talk about wall street and -- >> he is above it all. sandra: how is it not person that know? this is about someone abusing power. this is corruption to its core. supposedly a idealist what he is fighting against.

i don't think it makes sense for him -- it is not like, he is staying away from talking about bill clinton's mistresses. he is talking about something that speaks to the core of her ethics and character. >> i mean for many reasons i think bernie sanders is dangerous man but the thing that i, i do, i think he is very da that debate when he said nobody cares about your emails, yeah, a significant portion of the population does. that is where my conspiracy theory hat comes in. are you in cahoots with all of this? why do you think this is not big deal to democrats? she committed a felony. i say this every time on the show, hench woman huma i can't wait to find out what is in her e-mails. i want to her face legal action because she has gotten away with some things for so long. that is why 65% of the american people think she is liar. >> good point about that, i want to ask you. first time in the "l.a. times" report we've heard some reporting on deleted emails.
9:23 am
i haven't read about that they made specific mention that the fbi is going over those deleted emails. sandra: to your point, howie, you have to ask yourself, how much worse could this get? what could be revealed in these emails that could make it worse for hillary clinton, if there is no indictment? obviously if there is indictment that changes everything but is there anything that could happen between now and actual nomination process? >> well, depends on what leaks out because these things continued to be very tightly-held. if there is decision not to have critcharges, they don't put out a report saying here is what we're thinking. they indict or don't. we'll see. sanders decided to keep his hands off it. maybe it was misstep but he doesn't even acknowledge the story. andrea: are they covering the democratic primary as if it is real thing. it is a joke. this is kabuki theater. this is not a primary. it is coronation. she has the delegates. media covers like it is a real race.

9:43 am
crimes. the idea is based on a program out of richmond, california, that pays criminals up to $1,000 a month if they meet with mentors and follow the law. supporters say the program has richmond cut its crime rate but according to "the washington post" to keep the trust of participants, many mentors in the program do not inform police about what they know about crimes. including homicides. okay, we're going to go to the economics expert. they're paying people not to commit crimes up to $1000 a month. sandra, a lot of these cities are borderline bankrupt, don't have the money to do this. the most important thing, does it work? sandra: maximum paid out to participant is $9,000. so there is a cap. the program handed out $70,000 a year since it started back in 2010. the obvious response is outrage they would be using taxpayer funds in this way but analysis looked at, if these people were to go back into prison, that the money that would be coming out
