9:00 am
jenna: a lot of breaking news, and more to come. we'll see you back here in an hour. "outnumbered" starts right now. harris: a fox news alert now, we are waiting to hear from israel's prime minister at the united nations general assembly that's going on this week in new york. he will touch on a range of issues including the controversial iran nuclear deal. in fact, what you're seeing right now. we're expecting iran to also take the lectern. prime minister benjamin netanyahu's meeting yesterday with president obama will likely be the pair's last meeting while mr. obama is still in the white house. things were reportedly tense behind closed doors as they were talking about things like the iran nuclear deal and the israeli settlement. we will be watching it all at the u.n., bring you the prime minister's speech live when
9:01 am
netanyahu begins. san zahn fox news alert, charlotte ignites in a second night of chaos, protests again turning violent. shots fired, a demonstrator critically injured today's #oneluckyguy, steve hilton. he was director of a political pac. >> i am such a fan of the show. harris: that's awesome. we're a morning show in
9:02 am
california. >> i'm just telling you how i feel about it. sandra: there's so much going on. let's begin with the state of emergency just declared in charlotte, north carolina. following a second night of violent protests there. [gunfire] sandra: one person said to be on life support after being shot by another civilian and at least four cops suffering nonlife-threatening issues all this after tuesday's shooting of keith scott by a black police officer saying the 43-year-old was armed and refused to to drop his weapon. the police say. his family saying he was reading a book and that the gun was planted by the cops. in a kelly file exclusive, the city's chief of police strenuously refuting those allegations. >> i have to deal in facts, so the version that you hear from me is based on evidence, it's
9:03 am
based on testimony that we get from witnesses and the officers there, and it's corroborated with the evidence that we gathered there on the scene. i'm not fabricating anything. i have nothing to gain for doing something like that. we're just going to stand by the facts that we know. sandra: jonathan serrie is live from charlotte with the latest happening there. jonathan? >> reporter: yeah, good afternoon. right now i'm standing in front of a family-owned variety store. you can see police officers standing guard, trying to prevent more looting. this store was hit overnight. in fact, we have some video to show you from overnight of when looters broke into the store during the overnight protests. the owners and employees were not here at the store. in fact, they had closed early because of the protests so, fortunately, no one inside was injured. however, they tell us that the looters got away with most items of value. police came in today, and after investigating the looting, they actually helped the store owners begin to clean up, begin to pick
9:04 am
up the pieces. so the police here serving multiple tasks. police are also trying to determine, they're conducting an internal investigation into the police-involved shooting that set off all of these protests on tuesday. as you mentioned in the introduction, there are very different stories emerging. you have a version by some of the protesters, and then you have a version of the police. well, police say that body cams and dashboard cams, the totality of that evidence corroborates their story this officers -- that officers were being threatened by this man that they shot and that it was not an unprovoked shooting. and they are not releasing this video to the general public because they say additional agencies including the fbi may join in the investigation. however, they do anticipate
9:05 am
being able to grant a request from the family of the man who was shot to view the video. listen to this sound bite from the chief. >> we're going to release it. ultimately, as i said before, our practice has been not to release, but to allow for the party who feels they've been mistreated in in any way to see that. so right now what we're going to do is honor a request that has been made with the family because it's still in my purview to do so. but beyond that, it'll be much more collaborative in what i can release. >> reporter: at this point city leaders say there is no reason to call for a curfew, no reason to shut down the city for business. the city is still open for business, but they are urging for calm, they're urging protests to remain peaceful and they're hoping that tonight will not be a repeat of what happened here in charlotte over the two previous nights. back to you guys. sandra: jonathan serrie, thank you for the update. both presidential candidates are
9:06 am
reacting to the shooting and the protests happening there. just moments ago donald trump saying reducing crime would be a top priority of his administration, and he praised former new york city mayor ruedly giuliani's policies like stop and frisk. >> the policies he put into place ultimately brought down crime by 76% and murder in new york by 84%. think of how many families these policies saved from the worst heart ache imaginable. we need a national anti-crime agenda to make our cities safe again. we have to make our cities safe again. sandra: yesterday he told sean hannity that he would call for a nationwide stop and frisk policy. listen. >> i would do stop and san fris- frisk. i think we had to. we did it in new york, it worked incredibly well, and you have to be proactive. [applause] and, you know, you really help people sort of change their mind automatically.
9:07 am
you understand. you have to have -- in my opinion, i see what's going on here, i see what's going on in chicago, i think stop and risk -- in new york city it was so incredible, the way it worked. now, we had a very good mayor, but new york city was incredible, the way that worked. so i think that would be one step you could do. sandra: hillary clinton's campaign manager says she plans to develop national standards for police to prevent similar situations while investing in community policing. here's the democratic nomineement. >> >> we are -- nominee. >> we are safer when communities respect the police and police respect communities. [applause] finish i know i don't have all the answers. i don't know anyone who does. but this is certain: too many people have lost their lives who shouldn't have. we need to come together, work together white, black, latino, asian, all of us to turn the tide, stop the violence, build the trust. [cheers and applause] sandra: so both candidates,
9:08 am
steve, have put forward proposals in the wake of charlotte. what do you make of them? we just laid them out. >> well, the first thing i think is that going national with this is not necessarily, i think, the right way to go. but before any discussion of this, i think it's really important for us all to to say that policing is a really tough job, it's frightening for the police officers who put themselves at risk on our behalf. and i know that's a cliche, but we've got to keep reminding ourselves of that even as we also say that it's evident now that a large group of people in our country are frightened of the police. and be that is something that we can't just dismiss, we can't just fight back with statistics. we have to understand where that comes from. and i think the real answer here is actually the notion of community policing that delivered not just through vague phrases like we heard there from clinton, but actually set up by bill brattop. bill bratton, who we all remember from new york, actually wrote a piece the other day in "the new york times" that really
9:09 am
set out a balloon for how you build -- plan more how you build those relationships. it's police officers spending time in the neighborhoods where they have to operate x be that just doesn't happen enough. i think the idea that you can impose this nationally -- sandra: which they're both talking about. >> i just think that's almost what's gone wrong in a whole range of areas of policy where things have become too centralized, and idea that big bureaucracies in washington can solve every problem around the country, i think that's ooh kind of what's gone wrong -- kennedy: you're absolutely right. and when you talk about one size fits all, nationalistic, thannying policy, to me, it smacks of militarization. that's one thing that the rational people many these communities are actually protesting against, is what they see as the militarization of police. you don't see the ones -- the ones who are out looting, the ones shooting each other, those are not the ones who are having the discussion, and it's a discussion that absolutely has to be had. and you're absolutely right, we
9:10 am
talk about things like common core, these one-size-fits-all strategies, and when both candidates are saying impose a national set of standards, that, to me, sounds like militarization. sandra: it's important to point out that donald trump was criticized for calling for that national policy. he sort of walked those comments back, as you heard, saying he was talking about chicago really. melissa: yeah, he did. chicago,ing things have been very out of control, this one area specifically where police don't even really want to go. let's not forget it was just last weekend we had bombs exploding in new york, and it was the men in blue that went out -- >> that's right. melissa: -- and protected us from what was going on all around us when we had no idea where the next bomb was going to be. they're the ones that ran into the danger, and yet here they're being criticized. nobody is completely in the right on this issue, but to see it get so far out of control, charlotte is a beautiful city. now it's trashed. people have lost their jobs and income. >> that reminds me of something, i think, that's gone wrong that
9:11 am
police officers would agree with which is that they get too many bureaucracy imposed op them that gets in the way -- sandra: gotta let them do their job. melissa: that's a great point. >> be there with the people they're protecting. i worry we'll end up with more of that, not less. harris: well, and as we've seen in chicago, they are now cozying up to the idea of a de-escalation program for police officers, and what would that look like exactly when they have so many, dozens of murders each weekend? across this summer, it's been a very bloody summer. i'm just calling it what it is -- kennedy: they were talking about new york, they were asking nypd officers to act as psychologists. harris: we're asking them to to get to a scene and work back. i believe bratton is working with hillary clinton -- kennedy: yes. harris: so he might be able to give her some of that information. i'll tell you where the conversation has not gone, a black police officer kills a black man, and that's not the first time it's happened.
9:12 am
so are we now talking about a broader issue of abuse of power by some bad apples in these police departments, and isn't it incumbent upon all of us no matter what we look like to find those people, whomever they are? because then even's a target. the weakest among us will always be a target of those who abuse power. >> i think that's right. i completely agree. there's another aspect, which is that we're putting too much on them. we're also expecting police to pick up pieces of the economic and social failure in so many communities around the country. it's not their job to solve these problems that have been with us for so -- kennedy: and to act as social workers. if you talk to police officers, if you do a ride-along, that's essentially what they're being tasked with. you make a really good point, because we have these two massive events within the course of just a couple of days, and they involve law enforcement. and we have to ask ourselves as a society no matter where you live, no matter what your background, what do you expect from law enforcement? harris: right. kennedy: and i think most people would agree, you know, please
9:13 am
help keep us safe -- harris: what do they expect from us? so when you get stopped by a police officer, are people teaching their children -- no matter what they look like, economic status -- when a police officer tells you to do something and you want to get through that moment and have recourse perhaps at a due time, do it. sandra: so, steve, let me ask you, are we having the right conversations? both candidates are talking about doing something at the national level, which you say you're against, but hillary clinton is planning on these national standards for police intended to prevent situations like this, but she talks about restoring bonds between communities and law enforcement, investing in community policing. is there any one proposal from the candidate that you're hearing that you favor more? >> not really are. i think that those are fine words. i kind of agree with those words, but how's it going to happen? i think the idea that you can make that happen from washington with a national policy is ridiculous and actually counterproductive. that's why i point to what bratton wrote, because he has done it in multiple cities across america. and he's set out a very
9:14 am
pragmatic, practical plan for making it happen. but i think the right way is for each police force to look at that and say how can we do that in our area? not to have it imposed on them from politicians miles away who don't understand the needs of that community. sandra: great perspective. donald trump polling ahead in three key battleground states as another poll shows hillary clinton's lead shrinking nationally. should her campaign be worried? plus, we're now just days away from the start of the white house's plan to bring in 110,000 more refugees. but one major state threatening to drop out of the resettlement program as leaders sound the alarm about the security threat. and after the show, you can join our live chat by clicking on the overtime tab at foxnews.com/outnumbered or go to facebook.com/outfirmedfnc. maybe some fun facts about steve that we'll share with you -- [laughter] and, of course, you can tweet us.

harris: fox news alert, want to tell you what we're watching on the left of your screen. the attorney general, loretta lynch, is going to step up to the lectern to talk about something that has to do with mail fraud schemes, and she's putting fort a campaign --
9:19 am
putting forth a campaign. but ahead of those remarks, she's expected to talk about what's happened in charlotte and what her vision is for going forth, how involved she may be in all that's going on in terms of adjudicating any cases that may be there. we know one person was shot last night by a civilian, we're told, among the protesters and some things that others are calling what looks like rioting and definitely some looting and a lot of violence. so loretta lynch expected to tell us about that. ahead of her remarks with a mass mail scheme that is a global initiative that she's working on. we'll watch for that, bring you news out of that when it happens. a close race. just 50 days from election day -- actually, less than that -- and now new fox news polling shows donald trump is leading hillary clinton in three key battleground states. in a two-way race, trump now ahead by five points among likely voters in ohio, up four points in nevada, five points in north carolina and a new nbc
9:20 am
news/"wall street journal" poll shows hillary clinton is leading nationally by just six points among likely voters. that's down from a lead of nine among registered voters last month. this could point to trouble. since likely voters are, well, more likely to actually go to the polls -- that's why they call them that. and now clinton is openly asking why she does not have much bigger leads in the polling. here's part of what she told labor leaders during a video conference yesterday. >> now having said all this, why aren't i 50 points ahead, you might ask. well, the choice for working families has never been clearer. i need your help to get donald trump's record out to everybody. nobody should be fooled. harris: wow. [laughter] okay. melissa: what is up with that? harris: conferencing is difficult because it's just you and the camera -- kennedy: you've got to raise the energy. harris: i would preface it by
9:21 am
saying that. kennedy: sounds like an ostrich with a belt around it neck. harris: steve, everybody says they tighten, but this is getting up comfortable, i would imagine. >> yeah. i think what's really interesting is the complete way in which on the left they can't understand it. they can't believe this is happening. when you talk to democrats, they think what is going on, how could they possibly support him x how could it be that it's so close? i think there was some new information published last week that gives us a really important clue into what's going on. last week we had new data published on incomes, and a lot of people were celebrating for the first time this many years, incomes went up. but also in that same data was the fact that the median income of america was lower than in 1999. what that means in plain english is that half of all americans, 50%, earn less today than in 1999. so we've had eight years of bush, eight years of obama x be
9:22 am
they're earning less. -- and they're earning less. people are saying it doesn'tho , nothing got better for me, the rich have got richer, we might as well try anything, and trump looks like he might actually change things. harris: fascinating. melissa. >> melissa: in addition to that, if you look underneath those numbers that we showed you at the top, it's the independents where he's really killing her. i was surprised by. i mean, it's -- the contrast is stark. you look in lfd, he leads independents 42% over 23, 21 points? kennedy: yeah. melissa: look also in ohio, he's up by 20 points among independents. and in north carolina, he's up by 14 points among independents. those are the swing voters. those are the people, like you said, who are saying, you know what? i don't care which party, they're both screwing me. >> yes. harris: my question would be the intensity. what do we know about independent voters? will they try actually going to the polls? >> well, i think there's a lot
9:23 am
of -- well, it's clear there's much more enthusiasm on trump's to side. i think they will because they're so frustrated. we actually saw this in the brexit vote not long ago in the u.k. where all the models and the data that the people who were campaigning to stay in the e.u. were using did -- missed out on a whole group of voters who were just so alienated from the whole thing because they don't think anything changes they did show up. they thought finally here's something that might make a difference. harris: kennedy, i was having a dinner conversation with a complete stranger who was sitting next -- kennedy: that's how you do it. harris: he said, i'm an independent, because i don't do polls. melissa: that's what we have right now. sandra: that's what we have right now. and fair point on the economy. are people better off now than
9:24 am
they were eight years ago -- whether nope. 16 years ago. sandra: 1999, that's unbelievable information, but how much of this is about national security and our fears over whether or not we're safe here at home? look at the happenings just in recent weeks and the tightening we're seeing in these polls. >> i think that's right. i think a really, really big part of why people vote the way they do is an instinctive sense of who is the stronger candidate. think strength is a really big factor in election and in the way people judge candidates and i do think there's something about the way trump presents himself. people can disagree with the content of what he says, but just the way he comes over does project a certain strength, and i think people respond to that at a time when they're frightened of what's going on in the world. kennedy: i think the economy is foundational, certainly in this election. and then you have the other things we fixate on. some of them are momentary like scandals and others, like
9:25 am
national security, they are important. but still i think bottom line is the economy. and the thing i will say about hillary clinton is she still has not figured out how to talk to independent voters, and that's why she's hemorrhaging millennials. she can't hold onto a constituency that should be naturally hers. so between millennials and independents, she's kind of tone deaf. harris: i want to remind everybody in case they're just tuning in, former strategic adviser to prime minister david cameron, when you talk about brexit, you know what you're talking about. >> yes. he didn't like the way i was talking about -- harris: i'll bet. you're candid, we appreciate that. sandra: comparing it to this election, everybody thought it was going to go one way, and it certainly didn't. is that a fair comparison? >> i think it is. people are so sick of these politicians who make promises and nothing really changes in their lives, and they feel they're the group at the center,
9:26 am
the kind of elite, the technocrats, the bure rats who run things -- bureaucrats who run things. and they're angry about it. they've had it for decades, and that's what's being expressed, and i think that's the comparison between the two. harris: steve hilton, it's great to have you! new details on the suspect accused of planting bombs around new york city. the journal that they found on him. brand new video just in from the scene of the new york city bombing, and the first presidential debate now just four days away. why hillary clinton's campaign is afraid the moderators will, quote, lower the bar for donald trump. we're coming right back. ♪ ♪ before taking his team to state for the first time...

[laughter] meantime, team trump mocking the

lengths hillary is going to in preparing for monday's debate. a campaign memo obtained by "wall street journal" saying mr. trump won't be spending hours in the film room like a football player but will be himself. and an online survey, among the trump asking people is should he refer to clinton as crooked hillary during that debate and whether he should go after her for refusing to say radical islamic terrorism. all right, steve, you were almost in disbelief -- [laughter] when you heard jennifer palmieri is one of their biggest fears is that that they're going to tone down the questions. >> yeah, the way she said it. both camps are going to do spin 134 front of it, but that was so patronize, wasn't it? sandra: intentionally so. >> a bit be like the basket of deplorables, i think they genuinely think he's not very smart, not very clever and just an idiot who doesn't understand
9:36 am
anything about politics. ander think that's part of the reason he's been underestimated by the political establishment for so long. the thing i'd say about this debate and the preparation is that i think a lot of people in politics make the mistake of thinking that knowledge of policy and policy detail is the crucial thing. i think when -- kennedy: she's hoping for that. >> yeah. having worked alongside a prime minister and been in government, the truth is you can have all the policy plans you want before an election, before getting into office. but once you're there, a huge part of the job is actually responding to unpredictable future things that come your way. that's not about your policies, that's about your character, what you're like, your basic values. and in this, in the end, i think that's what voters will be judging the candidates on. to be honest, therefore, if he doesn't know all the details of every policy but comes across as the kind of person you want sitting in the oval office to deal with what the world may throw at america, i think that is what will be the crucial
9:37 am
factor. kennedy: i also think with matt lauer, her campaign got a win. they're setting up lester holt to repeat matt lauer's performance, and if they had known ahead of time, that he was going to be tougher than she would have liked, they're hoping that lester holt does the exact same thing which, you know, i can't imagine that he will. harris: steve, one thing that you kind of hit the nail on the head with for me was that it's not about the policy particularly when it comes to things that are unfolding right now like terrorism in america. they want to know who is going to react first with what they're looking for that seems like leadership. >> yes. harris: hillary clinton has come at us with two different reactions to what happened over the weekend, and they were not exactly the same. melissa: yeah. monica crowley wrote a great piece about the debate prep addressing that question in the washington times, and she said rather than going back on hillary clinton on point about policy and getting trapped into,

in fighting the terrorism of today, a partner in adopting the technology -- in developing the technology of tomorrow. today israel has diplomatic relations with over 160 countries. that's nearly double the number that we had when i served here as israel's ambassador some 30 years ago. and those ties are getting broader and deeper every day. world leaders increasingly appreciate that israel is a powerful country with one of the best intelligence services on earth because of our unmatched experience and proven capabilities in fighting terrorism. many of your governments seek our help many keeping your countries safe. many also seek to benefit from
9:46 am
israel's ingenuity in agriculture, in health, in water, in cyber, and in the fusion of big data connectivity and artificial intelligence. that's fusion that is changing our world in every way. you might consider this: israel leads the world in recycling wastewater. we recycle about 90% of our wastewater. now, how remarkable is that? well, given that the next country on the list only recycles about 20% of its wastewater, israel is a global water power. so if you have a thirsty world, and we do, there's no better ally than israel. how about cybersecurity? that's an issue that affects everyone. israel accounts for one-tenth of 1% of the world's population, yet last year we attracted some
9:47 am
20% of the global private investment in cybersecurity. i want you todigest that number. in cyber israel is punching a whopping 200 times above its weight. so israel's also a global cyber power. if hackers are targeting your bank, your planes, your power grids, just about everything else, israel can offer indispensable help. governments are changing their attitudes towards israel because they know that israel can help them protect their peoples, can help them feed them, can help them better their lives. this summer i had an unbelievable opportunity to see
9:48 am
this change so vividly during an unforgettable visit to four african countries. this is the first visit to africa by an israeli prime minister in decades. later today i'll be meeting with leaders from 17 african countriesful we'll discuss how israeli -- countries. we'll discuss how israeli technologies can help them in their efforts to transform their countries. in africa things are changing. in china, india, russia, japan, attitudes towards israel have changed as well. these powerful nations know that despite israel's to small size, it can make a big difference in many, many areas that are important to them. but now i'm going to surprise you even more. you see, the biggest change in
9:49 am
attitudes towards israel is taking place elsewhere. it's taking place in the raich world. in the arab world. our peace treaties with egypt and jordan continue to be anchors of stability in the volatile middle east. but i have to tell you this, for the first time in my lifetime many other states in the region recognize that israel is not their enemy. they recognize that israel is their ally. our common enemies are iran and isis. our common goals are security, prosperity and peace. i believe that in the years ahead we will work together to
9:50 am
achieve these goals, work together openly. so israel's diplomatic relations are undergoing nothing less than a revolution. but in this revolution, we never forget that our most cherished alliance, our deepest friendship is with the united states of america, the most powerful and the most generous nation on earth. [applause] our unbreakable bond with the united states of america transcends parties and politics. it reflects, above all else, the overwhelming support for israel among the american people, support which is at record highs
9:51 am
and for which we are deeply grateful. the united nations denounces israel, the united states supports israel. and a central pillar of that defense has been america's consistent support for israel at the u.n. i appreciate president obama's commitment to that longstanding u.s. policy. in fact, the only time that the united states cast a u.n. security council veto during the obama presidency was against an anti-israel resolution in 2011. as president obama rightly declared at this podium, peace will not come from statements and resolutions at the united nations. i believe the day is not far off when israel will be able to rely on many, many countries to stand with us at the u.n.. slowly but surely, the days when
9:52 am
u.n. ambassadors reflexively con them israel, those days are coming to an end. ladies and gentlemen, today's automatic majority against israel at the u.n. reminds me of the story, the incredible story of hiro -- harris: prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu never fails to capture attention when he speaks. he began with changes he sees for his country at the united nations, he talks about water resources and how israel can play such an important part in getting those to the rest of the world, and he says they are changing relationships with every nation, including those on the african con innocent, as he talked -- continent as he talked. he did polk a little bit of criticism, what about the joke called the human rights council? so he is also chiding some of those people in the room.
9:53 am
we are going to continue to watch his remarks, but there's breaking news on the situation that happened in charlotte, north carolina, where a black man was killed by a black police officer there. the attorney general, loretta lynch, just made remarks on charlotte. we want to go to that and watch. >> let me address the recent events in charlotte, north carolina. the recent death of keith lamont scott in charlotte is currently under local investigation. we are, of course, aware of the tragic events that resulted in his death, and the department of justice and the fbi are currently monitoring that matter. now, for the second day in a row, protests in response to mr. scott's death took place in charlotte last night, and for the second day in a row, those protests were marred by violence. this time leading one person -- leaving one person on life support and several individuals injured, and also a reminder that violence often only begets violencing. the the details of what happened last night are still under review by local authorities, but
9:54 am
today the department of justice is sending four members of our community relations service to charlotte. our office of community-oriented policing services have has also offered technical assistance and support for crowd mediation to local police. and the local fbi office stands ready to the assist local law enforcement as well. but let me also speak to the people of the state of north carolina, a beautiful state, a great state and my home state. i know that these are difficult times, and i know that that the events of recent days are painfully unclear, and they call out for answers. but i also know that answer will not be found in the violence of recent days. let us all seek a peaceful way forward. now, most of the demonstrators gathered last night were exercising their constitutional and protected right to peace in protest in order to raise -- peaceful protest in order to create change.
9:55 am
we need your voice, your passion, your commitment. but i urge those responsible for bringing violence to these demonstrations to stop. you're drowning out the voices of commitment and change, and you're ushering in more tragedy and grief in our communities. now, the tragic events in charlotte and in full -- tulsa, oklahoma, earlier this week once with again have underscored the divisions that persist between law enforcement officers and the communities that we serve, particularly communities of color. and one of my top priorities as attorney general has been to do everything in my power to help heal those divides. and the department of justice will continue working tirelessly to protect rights of all americans, to give law enforcement the resources they need to do their jobs safely can and fairly, to open dialogue, to promote reconciliation and to reduce violence of all kind in this country. but as we've seen in recent months despite the efforts of many across the country, we have
9:56 am
come together with thoughts and prayers far too many times for a victim of violation. civilians -- of violence. civilians and law enforcement officers alike. and too many times we've allowed ourselves to be pulled down the easy path of blame and accusation rather than the harder path of empathy and understanding. be -- let us choose that path. let us work together to insure that all americans have both a voice and value in this great country of ours. and let me reaffirm my full commitment and the full commitment of this department of justice to advancing that effort. now, to those who are exercising that most fundamental of our freedoms, we hear your voices, and we feel your pain. to all the law enforcement officers who continue to risk their lives day in and day out to keep us safe and to protect those essential freedoms, i extend my deepest thanks and support. but finally, i urge all americans to ask themselves what
9:57 am
they can do to contribute to the more peaceful, the more perfect and the more just union that is our shared heritage, that is to our mutual responsibility and that is our common goal. i thank you. and moving on -- harris: the attorney general, loretta lynch, talking about what has transpired both in charlotte and oklahoma, and we knew she would have some remarks. they were prepared, we wanted to bring you them in their entirety before she talks about other issues including mass mail fraud schemes across the globe. we're watching two live events, one of them benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel. and while he was speaking off the top, you said, oh, he's going for it. what did you mean? >> well, it was interesting. great contrast between those two sets of remarks where one, it felt to me -- the attorney general -- was perfectly pine, but there was nothing really there. whereas when you saw netanyahu speak, he was really going for it. sandra: strong.
9:58 am
>> he had incredibly clear moral force when he spoke. and i think that shows you the power of clarity and strength. and i think it's something that is so often missing from modern political life where you just get this blah, blah, blah from politicians. and to hear someone speak so clearly and powerfully be, it's really surprising. sandra: i think she made a good point though, loretta lynch, and i don't often agree with her. she was saying stop with violence because you're on to securing and understood mining those out there who have a point, forked good reaso you're undermining them. kennedy: and we're also seeing a group of people who demonize law enforcement and those who are appeased, israel is demonized, iran is appeased, and, you know, it's a result of progressivism -- sandra: and you talked about its criticism -- he was critical in a few places in his speech, but saying, quote: the u.n., begun as a moral force, has become a moral farce. >> yeah. sandra: and i know we all had a reaction on the couch when he
9:59 am
said that. >> it's really refreshing to hear someone say that. that's how i think many people perceive these globalized international institutions without any kind of moral principle underi -- underlying what they do. i think a lot of people appreciate it. harris harris i mean, the subject matters are very different with the attorney general and the u.n. general assembly, but it's interesting to compare and contrast their styles. saw on social media a lot of calls for president obama to step into what was going on last night. i just want to get your quick thoughts, because you've seen some of this in the u.k. >> yeah, i think there is definitely a role for political leaders to speak to the nation at a time when the country is anxious and concerned. but i think it's very important to distinguish that from leaping in and trying to solve the problems directly. and i think that sense of bringing the nation together is part of the role of president. so i think that would be appropriate.
10:00 am
but don't think that some kind of national plan to solve all these problems is going -- sandra: bringing it full circle. [laughter] harris: steve hilton, come back anytime on outnumbered. we're going to toss it now to "happening now."
