there, you're outnumbered. >> joe: this is more like out dressed. one question before you jump in, you guys never match, you always have different colors on. somebody has first dibs on a certain color, i want to know who and how it works. >> sandra: team effort, it's a color wheel and you're not in i it. north korea now singable fire four missiles into the water of u.s. territory of guam after they fire over our ally of japa japan. the missile will hit the ocean 19-25 miles from the island. they say the plan could go to leader kim jong-un for approval as soon as this week. he'll have the final say on whether it's carried out. this, as north korea calls president trump's fire and fury warning "a load of nonsense." if those missiles are launched, washington would have to decide whether or not to intercept.

robert matter weighing in earlier on "america's newsroom"" >> we've heard north korean leadership make outrageous statements in the past. i don't think we are at the brink of a nuclear launch out of north korea. having said that, we need to be vigilant, we need to be ready, and we certainly are on the military side. if north korea is stupid enough to do something like this, to attempt something like this, they will suffer dire consequences. >> sandra: newt gingrich saying he's less worried about north korea firing missiles then he is about what those consequences would be. speak out the challenge we have is if you take the north koreans at seriously, they're not going to back down. the question becomes then what? every time i see a newspaper ask this question, you have 12 so-called experts are saying they have to negotiate.

we've been negotiating for over 20 years. while we negotiate, they are building weapons. i don't care if they fire missiles and international waters as a demonstration effec effect. i do care that we are not taking seriously that we may need a nondouble medic solution. >> sandra: joe, to you first. the time frame could be sent to kim jong-un within a week or two. will this be approved first of all? >> joe: by kim jong-un? who the hell knows. we can all agree he's crazy. i don't think there is any imminent threat right now, to be quite honest with you because think about it, the korean war ended in 1953. the ribbon skirmishes, but north korea has never been offensive in any way. kim jong-un, as we said, is crazy. he's also a narcissist and narcissists lu themselves more than anybody. in this case, i've been reading a lot about kim jong-un lady la.

he imports things from different countries. this is not isis. they don't care about the rules of destruction. i think in north korea's case and kim jong-un's case, he knows if he goes provocative anyway, shape, or form, that insurers, absolutely, his destruction of his people and he won't do it. >> trish: this is the argument of political realism. in other words, arm them because they want self-preservation and then you will actually have an environment. he is armed at this point. you're saying we don't need to worry about it. >> joe: how would you disarm them is the question. >> trish: i'm happy to answer that. we have not even begun to scratch the surface in terms of ease economic sanctions. a billion dollars a year means nothing to $828 billion economy

and we need to put a hold on that. >> sandra: i want to bring this op-ed written by susan rice saying it's not too late on north korea. she says history shows that we can, if we must, tolerate nuclear weapons in north korea, the same way we tolerated the far greater threat of thousands of soviet nuclear weapons during the cold war. we can rely on traditional deterrents by making crystal clear that any use of nuclear weapons against the u.s. or its allies results and annihilation of north korea. this is your wheelhouse. >> marie: part of the challenges we are faced with a lot of options. economic sanctions, most economists would agree that would not get rid of their program. kim jong-un doesn't care if people starve. the economic pressure doesn't seem to impact him as much. there are military options, but just this week, the head of special operations command was interviewed and he said, we have military options, that's what we are paid to do. all of them are incredibly ugly. all of them would likely result

in tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of deaths of south koreans and of americans who are stationed there and possibly in places like guam. i think right now, we are trapped in this cycle of rhetoric. i don't know where it ends, but we need to make very clear to the north koreans that they should not take that step that you talked about is on the table for kim jong-un right now and china, i do think holds the key to that. >> sandra: speak specifically to the rhetoric, marine. north korea will be met with fire and fury from the president. north korea responds saying that's a load of nonsense, that threat coming from in united states. >> marie: the rhetoric is interesting. first, president trump seems to have drawn a different version of his redline. he will take very drastic action, they will have very very serious consequences for human life. if he doesn't, it will look like an empty threat. the other problem for me is that

north korea's propaganda domestically depends on having an external enemy to hold up as the evil empire as their enemies, basically, and president trump, because of his language, is giving them an external enemy that they can use which can be very dangerous. republicans like john mccain have said the same thing. >> lisa: no offense, i'm so sick and tired of the criticism over the fire and fury comment. jim mattis who is a student of history, someone who is known for being deeply thoughtful who essentially said the same thing yesterday, stated said that hee met with the destruction of his people, essentially the same thing. where is the combination of that comment and may also know that secretary mattis is not afraid to say that to a commander in chief because we saw him do it with president obama and get fired as a result over around, not even giving a phone call, mind you.

he was passed a note that he would no longer be the head of central command. no offense, but spare me with this rhetoric. >> marie: if this rhetoric that president trump is now escalated results in missiles being fired at guam, are you okay with that outcome? >> lisa: just turning a blind eye? >> marie: don't talk about obama, talk about now and answer my question. if this rhetoric leads to north korea attacking guam, are you okay with that? >> lisa: it kind of like the icbms they've been our way? come on. >> marie: i'll wait for an answer to my question. >> joe: over the last three administrations, whether they're talking about president clinton, who spoke nicely with the north koreans and actually came to an agreement to give them $5 billion that they stopped the nuclear program, how did that work out? president bush also was presidential and measured with

north korea, how did that work out? obviously under president obama, same thing. rhetoric isn't going to suddenly encourage kim jong-un to stop launching missiles. he has gone ahead with this program, regardless of how the president has spoken. the media bias on trump, he says something and madison says essentially the same thing and people aren't criticizing him. >> trish: we should be a united front and we should be making it very, very clear to north korea, if you mess with us, that consequences are going to be devastating. he needs to know that, north korea needs to know that and we need to all be on the same page. if you push any democrats, they'll tell you, yeah, you absolutely must respond to this guy, but they are using this for a political chip. they want to present them as crazy.

>> marie: he has also said he has a policy of maximum pressure. we seen him particularly with the u.n. put pressure on north korea and a way haven't seen past presidents in regard to sanctions. sanctioning a bank of china and we should see a lot more of that. the next time north korea tries to do something like that, start pinpointing individuals that do business, chinese individuals that do business with north korea, banks, institution institutions. >> sandra: if we learn that this plan is indeed approved by the leader of north korea and they decide to carry this out and this lands 19-25 miles from the island of guam, which of the u.s. response to that be? >> marie: that's an interesting question. first, if we get information, we can take the steps of trying to intercept it. we've seen that some of these missile defense, one of which is

stationed in guam, some of it works, but only about 50% of the time at best, so it's not perfect. that is a question that the national security team will have to make. if a couple missiles landing outside of guam and the ocean is enough to put millions of south koreans and american troops that are stationed in south korea in harm's way of north korean missiles, i'm not sure that the calculation will make. going back to the first thing you said, you said kim jong-un is crazy. if he is, when i worry about is how he sees trump's rhetoric. we can all look at it and say we understand he is saying, but if you can get him ahead of a madman, that's what worries me is we don't know how he's reading it. >> sandra: how you doing so far, joe? hanging in there? critics are claiming we are hearing mixed messages on north korea from the president, the secretary of state, and the defense secretary, but the trump administration says everyone is on the same page, whether the

media are blowing this all out of proportion. meantime, tensions between president trump and mitch mcconnell seem to be ramping up. whether mr. trump is alienating someone he needs as an ally or if congress deserves the criticism. after the show, you can join our live chat by clicking the overtime tab at foxnews.com/outnumbered. did you hear about this? at your sticking around. go to facebook.com/outnumberedfnc. you can also tweet us during the show. see you there. ♪ marie callender's turkey pot pie starts with turkey covered in a rich, flavorful gravy. and a crust made from scratch. because she knows that when it's cold outside, it's good food and good company

♪ >> sandra: as north korea threatens to launch missiles in guam, we are hearing mixed messages from the trump administration. "the new york times" reporting his comments about pyongyang were improvised and took aids by surprise, but the white house said the statement was planned though his words were his own. the state department also insisting everyone is on the same page, but secretary of state rex tillerson delivering more measured remarks. >> i think with the president was reaffirming is that the united states has the capability to defend itself from any attack and we will do so.

the american people should sleep well at night. >> sandra: james mattis gave a statement saying "north korea should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people." general jack keane weighing in earlier today on "fox & friends on "fox & friends." speak out this a administration has put on the table way back in january when secretary mattis two days after he assumed his office traveled to the far east and told them the policy of strategic patients is over and the military option is back on the table. these comments are all about that. >> sandra: skipping over you to go to marie, i do want to know what you have to say, marie, this is your wheelhouse and the messaging that we are seeing, are they together on this? >> marie: there is a total difference, but it's a bigger

subs attend difference. i do think rex tillerson is looking at ways to possibly get to negotiations or diplomacy, possibly that i'm dubious of that could happen, but that's his job. general mattis has a different job. i'm worried about those differences, i think everyone needs to get on the same page for the american people who are worried about this, but again, also for north korea. this is the toughest flash point in the world right now and if the north koreans are hearing mixed messages from different members of the administration, who knows how they are actually taking this all in and how they will react? >> lisa: what we've seen or at least the way i read it is a sense that we hope there is a diplomatic solution. we hope that there is the path of least resistance and trying to resolve this issue which is a great security threat, but if not, and you mess with the united states, so help you god to north korea. that's the message i read coming

from a trump administration. if you look at the actions of the trump administration, they need to have some sort of peaceful solution. whether it's a diplomatic or sanctions that we saw from the u.n. resolution, whether it's what we heard from secretary tiller tillerson. it was said yesterday that we are prepared to protect the homeland, so we're looking at all avenues, possible from a police peaceful solution. >> trish: what you think of folks coming out saying he wasn't prepared, he was off-the-cuff in his comments? that seems a little far-fetched to me. in other words, there was a couple hour gap between the report that initially came out and when the president spoke about it. the fire and fury, i think it, was a very deliberate move on his part.

>> marie: it may have been deliberate on his part, what about other members of the team? that's what i'm curious about. if other members of the team had a chance to weigh in. if they didn't, that worries me. >> joe: everybody's missing the point here. there is no quarterback. there is no white house communications director. with all respect to stephen miller, he's a policy advisor. we need to take what we were saying -- >> trish: the anthony scaramucci thing is highly different. >> joe: he is not a communications guide, neither is miller. >> trish: how would you

>> trish: tensions rising between president trump and mitch mcconnell after the senate majority leader accused the president of having excessive expectations for how things get done in washington. the president tweeting just this morning, can you believe that mitch mcconnell who has it screamed repeal and replace for seven years couldn't get it done? must repeal and replace obamacare. that comes on the heels of

mcconnell ripping into the president on the heels of the phone call. sean duffy weighed in on the drama earlier today. >> the president is right, he campaigned on repealing and replacing obamacare, but the house and the senate also campaigned on it. the president has been pretty docile with the failure, he knows he can send out really mean and aggressive tweets. he's been pretty nice and the tweets he sent out against the senate. they have to work together to get these senators on the same page to pass health care reform. >> trish: is the president running the risk of losing any friends in washington? how would you recommend he approaches this? you need them, but they want to what you need them to do. >> lisa: i hate this interparty fighting, i don't like it. president trump is in the right here. you can go back and look at things that senator mitch mcconnell has said, things speaker ryan had said about the

arbitrary deadlines about getting health care reform done and we know they can get this done on a party line basis. they can get this done within the party and they can't even do that, so it really is a shame that they've been promising americans for so long in terms of the economy which would be so key for president trump in seeking reelection. the economy really hinges on tax reform. i think the president is in the right in this fight, i don't like it, but you have to give it to him. >> trish: it's amazing. and all that time, they kept saying they wanted to repeal it, they should have known better. any politician worth their weight should know that you can't take something without offering something for it. they've had plenty of time to work it out, so it's frustrating from the sidelines. >> sandra: it's frustrating and then it leads questions about tax reform in the aggressive timeline and time frame that they've set for that, whether or not they can done

before november or before the end of the year. that being said, i think part of the frustration is the open criticism, to have the criticism going back and forth in such a public way, you think it can't they just call each other and have a meeting? do this over the phone or meet behind closed doors and say i don't like what you're doing here? i think the american people get frustrated with this being so open for the whole world to see. >> joe: president trump seems most comfortable when he's not attacking democrats. we saw that during the primary. mitch mcconnell, unfortunately said the expectations were too high. to your point before. pain is temporary, film us forever. there are sound bites after sound bites that will follow mitch mcconnell, the expectations were too high, but

president trump is in the right. to your point, call him up privately, which he did yesterday, you don't have to bully him publicly, but that's the way donald trump is always done things. when you're 71 years old, you tend not to change your habits. >> trish: if you voted for republicans because he wanted change, you wanted a disrupter and he wanted to get rid of obamacare, how angry are you now that is not getting done? >> marie: it you are very angry. the republican congress is learning it's harder to repeal in a place that it to govern. i'm so shocked that there wasn't some smart republican health care policy expert writing a bill in the basement of the house for the last seven years, so that's the challenge right now and 2018 is coming really fast. i think president trump so publicly taking on members of his party could end up hurting

at the ballot box, could hurt republicans, this kind of divided party. we agree on this, he has a right to be frustrated. these people were talking about repeal before he was even in politics. >> joe: >> lisa: president trums to make a spectacle of this, he wants to publicly shame them. we are also seeing an approach to dean heller in nevada, so it's very much intentional from president trump to try and publicly shame his party right now. >> trish: anyway, hillary clinton's emails back in the spotlight. a federal judge ordering the state department to conduct a new search for messages clinton sent after the benghazi attack. loretta lynch is now investigating the ex-attorney general's infamous tarmac meeting with

the idea that will get new information since it's been done multiple times, it's not. >> trish: we just disagree. >> marie: they have already been searched and provided. they just weren't provided -- >> lisa: it's also fair to question the transparency of hillary clinton. i think we are facing a big problem in america right now with trust and institutions being so low and part of that is because you have things like what happened at benghazi and we know because of this information that has later surfaced, not just this, but prior that he rarely clinton emailed her daughter that night, telling her daughter that ed was a result of a plan to all kino related attack. she also told the libyan president, told the egyptian prime minister the same thing the next day. days later, she had told the families of these victims

that shouldn't be the standard. >> sandra: is it okay to be questioned? >> lisa: for the earlier point about wanting to move past, it is current because there is a senate investigation and they're looking at loretta lynch. it does raise questions at this attorney is both looking at democrats as well as loretta lynch, what information does she have? i think if any one cares about objection of justice, they would be deeply concerned about what james comey said during the committee about what loretta lynch instructed him to do because that does come out as obstructing of justice. i think democrats want to be honest and care about things, but they want to get to the heart of what loretta lynch did or did not say. >> trish: the lack of trust in institutions right now really is a scary. south of the border and you look at what happened in places like brazil. the next thing you know, people

videos. not because i don't like it, because at times the trump administration has repeated things that have a loose fidelity of the truth and some are getting fact-checked. do all the videos you want, i'm cool with that. i like the people do these, it's fine. i want to make sure the content is maintaining. >> trish: i would say to go back and fact-checked the obama videos. >> marie: i'm sure they're all accurate. >> lisa: 80% of the coverage was negative, president obama was the only one in the last four. if you are president trump, what is a president to do? >> joe: it's called a video press release. like everybody else, they send out press releases. the first trump tv video that went out and terms of facts, which facts were wrong? >> marie: they're digging through claims that she made about jobs, that's one thing

that's been repeatedly fact-checked on. look, the trump administration, i don't think anyone would disagree with me, has at times gotten fact-checked quite often. >> joe: i want an example. the facts in this one may have not been correct. i want an example. >> sandra: i don't know about you, trish, but any time president obama touted the number of jobs he created, there was a lot of criticism over those numbers as well, whether they were created, saved, there's a lot of distinctions when it comes to actually coming up with those numbers. every president is a differently. every administration does it differently. i don't know if that's a fair fact-checking criticism. >> trish: the economy is in a pretty decent spot. we've got 4.3% unemployment. that's pretty good. our stock market is off today, but we're still near 22,000. that's a big deal.

we have more than 50 record closes and the dow since he was elected back in november. there are a lot of things to point to you that are positive and this is part of that. when you look at those jobs, it's a little complicated because you're saying, as is a part-time job or full-time? a lot of people have gone part time because obamacare. >> marie: i don't want them to start using these in replacement of president trump. he's only given one press conference since he's taken office. i don't want that to take the place. >> joe: i have a big problem with the criticism around this when people say, the american people watch this and they'll think it's a real newscast. as a big banner behind her. give the mega people credit. >> marie: i agree with you.

>> sandra: more "outnumbered" in just a moment.
