>> harris: he got married a week ago and he's a newlywed! congrats to you both. >> richard: i will take all the luck i can get! spew to let's get to the news. tlaib and omar slamming an israeli premenstrual regimen that in yahoo's decision last week to buy their planned visit. he cited their support of the boycott israel movement, which violates israeli law. israel eventually agreed to let tlaib in the country to visit a palestinian grandmother in the west bank, but tlaib rejected the offer, saying yesterday that israel's terms were too restrictive. >> through tears at 3:00 in the morning, we all decided as a family that i could not go until i was a free american united states congresswoman coming there. not only to see my grandmother but to talk to palestinian and israeli organizations that believe my grandmother deserved human dignity is much as anyone else does. >> melissa: omar also suggesting the u.s. cut back on

aid to israel after its recent actions. watch this. >> we give israel more than $3 million in aid every year. this is predicated on there being an important ally in the region, and the only democracy in the middle east. but denying visit to duly elected members of congress is not consistent with being an ally. >> melissa: she was wrong about that, it's $3 billion. but who's counting? deputy press secretary hogan gidley white lashing out at the congresswoman just moments ago, calling the women "the face of the bds movement." >> their anti-semitic comments and their anti-semitic social media posts, their anti-semitic relationships, should be condemned at all levels. they are the face not only of the democratic party but the bds movement, which is designed by

terrorists, for terrorists. the annihilation of israel and her people. >> melissa: prior to tlaib and omar's news conference, the white house in a statement saying the democrats have a history of anti-semitism. i bring it out to richard goodstein. i would imagine that this back-and-forth frustrates democrats because it is taking all the oxygen in the room. it knocks all the people that are running for president off the front page, and you have these women having a press conference, wanting to bring attention to themselves and the movements. the president liking to say these two are the face of the democratic party, and the people we aren't hearing from the other people running for president. 36 congress did vote on this bds idea. it was almost unanimous, a couple of posts. virtually every democrat was opposed. i understand the white house's eagerness to make them the face

of the democratic party. if you look at the polls, the generic ballot, who would you vote for for congress can act a democrat or republican connect the democrats today -- it's not working. donald trump will try to demonize people of color. it will be done today, people crossing the border tomorrow. and somebody else between now and election day. most of the public is tired of it. they just don't -- >> harris: i'm going to step in here. you hit the race button pretty early in the hour. i am surprised that you don't say that the president is dinging them on their policies and their ideas. by the way, melissa brought up the whole chasm, potentially, in your party because of the oxygen-sucking they are doing away from your 2020 presidential candidates. i know you are down to 22 or 23 now survey beads doodling to something you can handle. the bigger issue here is the box it puts democrats in who don't agree with these 2 to 4 women. >> richard: first of all, as to the oxygen, and the last sox

poll joe biden was being donald trump 50 to 38. whatever the theory is, it's not working. >> harris: he's run for president twice before. if he doesn't have name recognition by now, god help them. >> richard: but he's running against donald trump. they will have name recognition and he's 12 points ahead. my point is the democratic candidates are not suffering from this. >> melissa: john delaney says that he is. he was on earlier saying they're only a couple candidates getting all the attention that he can't make his way into the polls. because everyone is focused on other stories and kamala harris' numbers are way down. let me ask you, e-mac. the tears struck me as so insincere given that she had to jockey her position again and again. she was allowed to go and she had to change it so she couldn't go. at the same time, the things that she is talking about, to have that conversation about

palestinians, happened on another visit just before that with a bunch of republicans and a bunch of democrats, where they made a lot of progress and they talked about -- she didn't go with that group. that's the exact thing she said she wanted to happen. it happened without her because she wanted to go on her own. >> elizabeth: israel supported rashida tlaib visiting her grandmother and she declined that. steny hoyer and nancy pelosi are siding with rashida tlaib and ilhan omar in this matter. i will say this -- let them in. and have their say. but also challenge them. why aren't you standing up for the tourists who support the beheading of women, all these countries, who favor in their sharia law's the attacks on women, the torture of women, the torture of gays, the torture of children, the torture of teenagers, the betting of children and teenagers, the crucifixion of individuals, the

torching of gay people. i don't hear that from them. israel is a free society. they are free to speak their mind they are, about that and what's going around and in those other countries. i would like to hear from them about that. >> melissa: we are from the president commenting on the video, that press conference from yesterday saying, "sorry, i don't buy rep a tlaib's tears. she hates israel and all jewish people. she's an anti-semite. she and her three friends are the new face of the democrat party. live with it." lisa? >> lisa: i think you have the left right now trying to draw this false correlation and connection between republicans and neo-nazis, a group that republicans categorically reject. and democrats are standing by to members of congress who support a movement, the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, which nancy pelosi has called bigoted and dangerous. jerry nadler says it speaks to the elimination of israel.

i don't think that's a good look for democrats right now to stand by these members. you are correct and the assertion that democrats did reject this movement in the house, 398-17, but there standing behind these two numbers that are the faces of the movement. we also seen holding that they have become the distinctive face to democrats among key critical swing voters and they don't like her. >> richard: this is shameful for israel. what are they afraid of? what in the world is israel afraid of? there are israeli arabs in the knesset, in the parliament, use a much wilder things than anything these members of congress have said. >> elizabeth: there are free to be wiped the face of the earth by other middle eastern countries. >> lisa: that's a pretty valid reason. >> richard: but they've got arabs and their parliaments. >> elizabeth: i know that. that's what ilhan omar and rashida tlaib refused to

acknowledge, how israel is a democratic open society. i have yet to hear them take on the middle eastern leaders, theocrat and dictators who, again, behead women, dismember women, torture women come and go after gay people, big time. that has to stop. i would like to hear more about that. >> lisa: do you agree with nancy pelosi that the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement is bigoted and dangerous? >> richard: absolutely. >> lisa: so i should israel allow them to commit to that country if they support that movement? >> richard: what alley do we give billions of dollars to where they told members of congress to stay out? >> melissa: they didn't, they were allowed to come in. >> richard: with certain restrictions. the answer to bad speech in the united states under the first amendment is more speech. it's not to basically control -- 35 say that to iran and other leaders >> harris: according to the prime minister not to now too, he is citing law for them to not be able to come into the country. this movement potentially damages the country. he says other democracies dong.

he is citing israeli law. you can look up, you can read all about it. >> richard: i agree. >> harris: here's the other thing -- if we have deemed the bds movement as something of you and elizabeth just said, is negative, is bad, it's also negative and bad for those people who depend on jobs who are palestinian. so what i don't understand is that the women's allegiance to this. they are either not understanding or feigning not understanding why they can't enter the country while they stick with this movement. for democrats, how do they distance themselves from these two women without saying that what you believe in is wrong? because i haven't heard your party stand up and do that. even the condemnation of anti-semitic comments on the floor of the house didn't name the woman who said it. >> richard: separating anti-israel from anti-semitic, donald trump said profoundly anti-semitic thing for us when he spoke to >> richard: tina 2016 when he said, "you will

support me because you don't want my money." when they chanted in charlottesville, "jews shall not replace us," and he said there are good people on both sides, that was offensive. >> lisa: is moving the embassy to jerusalem anti-semitic? >> melissa: he says it's a propaganda outlet by liberals for liberals. senator ted cruz slamming "the new york times" "new york times," accusing the paper of major bias. whether he has a point, and if the president's criticism of the paper is justified. plus, joe biden touting his lead in the polls in his first tv spot of the 2020 campaign. whether electability is enough, or if democrats need to do more than run against trump. >> we know in our bones this election is different. the stakes are higher. the threat more serious. we have to beat donald trump. ♪ - hi folks, i'm matt mccoy.

words, "i can't breathe," became a national rallying cry. mary bill de blasio praising the decision. listen to him. >> we watched an objective decision affirmed by the first deputy commissioner and affirmed by the police commissioner. justice has been done. >> lisa: but the police union is not happy at all with this. >> it's absolutely essential that the world know that the new york city police department's rotary lists end. the leadership has abandon ship and left our police officers on the streets. alone. >> lisa: richard, we've even seen progressive democrats like rahm emanuel say that the ferguson effect is real. the anti-cop rhetoric that went on. that it put has cops in a fetal position. what do measures like this do? the same thing?

are disrespecting the rule of law and those that are out there and forcing it. i'm not saying who's to blame for that. obviously when you watch the eric garner situation, it is appalling. that is an officer who used force that he was not allowed to. that was outlawed tragic ends, and you see why. these are all really sell tragic situations. but the bottom line is there isn't really any communal trust and everyone suffered as a result. when the rule of law breaks down there more deaths on every side. we look at the thing in california -- i'm not a lawyer, but trying to understand the difference, it's between what you recently believed, the force that you believe needed to be used, and what was necessary. to me, that means you can go back in retrospect and judge how the officer acted and say, "now we know all the circumstances and it wasn't necessary." but in the moment they had no idea what was and was not necessary. it's terrifying!

"let me tell you what's coming." he's also running for the senat senate. this is a popular position ther there. because he did run the dccc, he knows all these red -2-blue members who flipped, pry are broken-held seats, they have to sort of way if they go to impeachment. the evidence is pretty strong. they are not sure how he feels about it. would it be a political decision? >> harris: do you think most people even know what impeachment is? it doesn't mean you leave the office. i think that's worth something. i think it's playing with something that is not real.

do you want i'm talking about the constituents and so are you. >> richard: is a misconception, i believe, that impeachment would somehow embolden donald trump and help him. i would submit that george w. bush would not have gotten elected to the presidency in 2000 had he not run on restoring honor and integrity to the white house. al gore was inheriting the economy, and that's what he ran on. "whoever the democratic candidate is, if the house and peaches, that is something they're going to put up. >> harris: there's a big thought bubble above your head. [laughter] >> melissa: i think it's interesting you think it would not the president. he clearly thinks it would. >> richard: so he says. >> harris: nancy pelosi has said that. she has. >> melissa: you think it helped george w. bush, everybody thinks it helped bill clinton when he was impeached. it just seems like that same narrative when you hear from "the new york times," our readers wish that he hadn't been elected. >> elizabeth: this keeps

like this feels like keeping hope alive for impeachment. you don't usually do it in an election year. the putts showing american say to move on. nothing this gentleman said in his statement is provable high crimes and misdemeanors. nothing he said. impeached based on what? >> lisa: exactly. that is such the critical question for you nailed it. that's the question. there's nothing to impeach president trump -- he's not done anything that's an impeachable offense. you cannot like him, run against him, vote them out in 2020, but he hasn't done anything impeachable. the magic number is 218 and they are simply not here yet. she is fine with this allusion they are moving towards appeasement don't like impeachment, because it satisfis the base. >> melissa: when you propose something that has hope of getting anywhere and has no traction, do you -- i think you go back to republicans. when you talk about having all these bills and lives elation that didn't get anywhere, that

they want to take credit for it, that the senate is too lazy to take it up or they can't get it done, it makes it look like they are wasting their time and spinning their wheels. not that they are getting something done. >> harris: you know what triggered my thinking about this, too key back don't act on my? in addition that they couldn't get impeachment done, likely. if you leave the sitting president who has been impeached, not gotten rid of, but the technical term, you create a bill clinton situation where a political power becomes even greater. against all odds. "still getting stuff done." >> richard: the campaign trail in 2000, yes, they picked up seats. al gore said, "please, stay away." >> harris: biden tried that with obama. >> richard: as to whether there are impeachable offenses, every democrat who has read going to turn in the mueller report disagrees with you. >> lisa: robert mueller

admitted in congress, in front of congress, that his investigation was not impeded and he was able to fully conclude his investigation. also, president trump actively participated by turning over 1.4 million documents. >> richard: and not testifying and not having his son testify. >> lisa: you are smarter than that. >> harris: such a spicy hour! it's like paprika on your boiled egg!

>> melissa: "the new york times" facing accusations of bias against president trump. texas senator ted cruz among those ripping the paper over a leaked transcript from an internal town hall meeting create executive editor dean bk suggested the out light shift

gears and its coverage of the ps from the russia investigation to an examination of his character. senator cruz to retain, "there was a time when journalists cover news. "the new york times" has given up on even pretending anymore." today there are a propaganda outlet by liberals for liberals prethese are marks of their town hall or a scandal and it would be a firing offense at any real journalistic outlets." and leaked transcript, bakay telling colleagues, "i think we have to change for the vision for coverage for the next two years. i recover going to make these kind remarks? how to recover the world's reaction to him? how do we do that while continuing to cover his policies? how do we cover america, that has become so divided by donald trump? the president on sunday tweeted, "the paper would be likely going out of business soon."

e-mac, there is so little self awareness. when you hear those comments, how do you cover someone who makes those remarks? >> elizabeth: that's right, just report it. you nailed it. there's a lack of self awareness. as a journalist, if you become emotionally involved in the story, this is how we were trained at "the wall street journal." and what and i was an editor elsewhere. when you become emotionally involved as this editor is not revealing, you have to be removed from that story. senator cruz is absolutely right. dean baquet med an eloquent case for why he should step down. he is setting the wrong tone for the newspaper. that "new york times" reporters should be up in arms about this. he is the wrong guy. he is saying to the world, "i am biased. i will set the tone for the coverage of the presidency instead of just letting the

reporting and the journalism do it." when we are here at fox news i'm not told how to report. that's the beauty of fox news. fox news does not tell us how to be journalists. they let us be journalists. i've never had that anywhere, we are journalists. we report it. >> melissa: at least for those on the network who do opinion, they identify themselves as opinion. i think that's where a lot of the hypocrisy on this comes in. when there is clear opinion at play, that's fine. you have an opinion, you cover stories. but you act like it is straight news is where i think the lack of self-awareness -- talk about fox news, they say how some of the commentators prevent anti-immigrant conspiracies. what about the rush of conspiracy and other reporting that turned out to not be true? >> this coming from the executive editor of "the new york times" as well. i think it's even scarier. we delineate between opinion and news, unlike most networks do. the way i think about this, if

you ever watched a little kid's soccer game, whoever has the ball, the kids follow them. the mainstream media follows around the narratives that the media parents. the biggest problem with media today, they are too personally invested. they have too much personal animosity against the president and they can't see things clearly. >> richard: "the new york times" doesn't need me to defend it, but ask hillary clinton about all the stories the times ran versus donald trump's kind of behavior in 2016. ask anybody about the way in which "the new york times" more or less kind of bypassed the fact the russians were attacking our election. according to our intelligence community, dick cheney says it was an act of war. i don't think "the new york times" is in bed with the democrats to get them elected. the challenge is you've got a president who is considered not a truth-teller, considered a racist, someone they will not vote for.

how do you cover somebody like that? >> melissa: just report what he says and let the readers decide themselves. you don't have to spin it, if it's really so awful. there is no need for them to put their opinion in. richard goodstein, thank you for joining us. let's send it over to harris. >> harris: fox news alert, two house democrats at the center of a feud with israel. questioning whether america should give israel aid, and calling for congress to take some kind of action. "outnumbered overtime" now. i'm harris faulkner. democrats ilhan omar and rashida tlaib going after israel's decision to reject the request for a news visit. israel later granted permission for tlaib to visit family in the west bank. she rejected that. the duo also went after president trump and prime minister netanyahu, and said the u.s. should reconsider its aid to israel. she gets the number wrong here. it's 3 billion. but here she is. >> we
