9:00 am
i understand traffic is real bear in california. >> it really does look like the johnsons, if you're keeping score james wife, daughter judy, and elroy. >> i love that show, and now we live in the future. >> "outnumbered" starts right now. great to see you. >> fox news alert, president trump heading to kenosha, wisconsin, tomorrow after more violence in major cities including portland where a man was shot and killed near a protest on saturday. the white house as the president is looking forward to helping kenosha heal and rebuild after deadly gunfire last week during protests over the police shooting of jacob lake. president trump also attacking joe biden, tweeting last night "one is a slow joe biden going to criticize the anarchist thugs and agitators in antifa?
9:01 am
when is he suggest bringing the national guard and badly run crime infested democrat cities and states? he can't lose the crazy burning super liberal vote." in fact, biden issued a statement yesterday saying "i condemn this violence unequivocally." this afternoon he is set to speak in pittsburgh, his campaign says he plans to ask voters are you safe in donald trump america? part of his prepared remarks read "this president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. he can't stop the violence because for years, he has fomented it. he may believe mouthing the words law and order makes them strong but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is. does any buddy believe there will be less violence if donald trump is reelected?" kelly machen and he is now asking why biden isn't going to
9:02 am
kenosha like the president. >> democrats ignoring the state of wisconsin as they did in 2016, this president shows up. he showed up this weekend in texas, he showed up in louisiana, he's showing up in kenosha tomorrow. this president is out and about, reopening the country, demonstrating his respect for the american people by actually going to places where americans are hurting. >> this is outnumbered and i melissa francis. here today is fox business house dagen mcdowell, host of "kennedy" kennedy. syndicated radio host and fox news contributor leslie marshall and former utah congressman and fox news contributor jason chaffetz. let me start with you jason, all through the democratic convention the democrats were silent on all of the violence that's going on in major cities and it was sort of like it's not going on, it's not a big deal, these were isolated incidents that are being hyped up on television.
9:03 am
now they've made a very strong change, we saw it last week even with democrats that were out on top shows with new talking points, saying this is donald trump's america, do you feel safe in donald trump america? he's the one that is responsible for this. do you think that the response is effective. >> jason: i don't think it's effective, these are in democratic run cities with democratic governors and it's been going on in some places 90 or 100 days. the democrats have taken a clear position, joe biden has said that he wants to redirect funding absolutely away from police. kamala harris in june on audio saying that the violence should continue, those are her words. it should continue. they don't even address it when they have the national audience for four straight nights. donald trump has been and will always be for "law & order," and the mere presence of a president of the united states does not
9:04 am
give anybody permission, nor should a trigger you, to more violence. martin luther king was not about violence, john lewis the congressman was not about violence. but these radicals to the left have been incited and they continue to do it, and then they try to blame donald trump as if it was his fault. it's ridiculous and america see through it. >> melissa: so, kennedy, and politics anything that happens one side is going to blame the other, whatever it is. we live in a city where this is going on and when i talk to people on the street who have noticed the massive deterioration in new york, they blame the local mayor of bill de blasio very squarely. some say when you have these violent groups like antifa they will continue to burn down the cities as long as donald trump is in office, because that's what they are mad about. so it's almost like holding the resident hostage that we are going to continue these violent acts unless vote for who we want. is that effective?
9:05 am
>> kennedy: i don't know that's true, let's say he loses in november and joe biden becomes president. does that mean the violence is automatically going to end? what if it doesn't? then what are you left with? and what is the plan if in fact a change in a administration doesn't yield a change in ideology or action? you have such diminished freedom in places like that, and i look at some of those pictures from kenosha and portland and seattle, and i think to myself having grown up and lived in two of those cities you can't walk around at night, you you can't go get a drink with your friends, you can't go get ice cream with your kids when yu have a city that has devolved into that. and i hate to be so cynical, but the only reason there is this condemnation now is because poll numbers are starting to show that people don't like living in a city where it feels like they are on the verge of some sort of
9:06 am
a civil war. and for those of us who live through things like the l.a. riots, you see how quickly things can turn and it's scary. >> melissa: yeah, that's true, and i was in l.a. during the riots as well, i know what you're talking about. let me ask leslie, i think that foreseeing people, i don't think pain necessarily blame either national candidates. you look at it and think local law enforcement, local mayors, for whatever reason let things get out of control and it's really hard to get them back under control. once you've lost that in your city. it isn't that going on? >> leslie: i think what's going on, quite frankly, it is radical elements on both the left and right. and i think that local and national leaders have to call this out. but the bigger problem, melissa, is the bigger problem which is the underlying problem and reason this occurs. which in the beginning is what
9:07 am
people were protesting about. it is the injustice, it is the systemic racism, and this division in our country plays into politics as we see in the polls and it certainly plays into the way people are reacting in various cities. look, i know people say this is because the democrats in charge here, i say bull on that. maybe we can point to those cities now because there is democratic leadership in some of the cities, but we certainly have seen violence, whether a person is the democrat or republican who is the mayor or governor or even president, i will agree with kennedy. if you relax donald trump this won't disappear overnight. and if you elect biden this won't disappear overnight but we do need leadership to come up with something that addresses the underlying problem, every time something happens with regards to the police, something happens with regards to african-americans emma we see more anger.
9:08 am
>> melissa: leslie, in which republican city, where is there a republican mayor where they are having riots right now? >> leslie: i said not right now, yes they are democratic mayors and governors. but in the past, we've seen violence in our nation in cities or states that have either a democrat or republican which is why i don't blame the party in power, the individuals that are acting left or right violently are to blame. >> melissa: how can you say that the violence reaction to systemic racism but at the same time, the violence is coming from extreme left and extreme right? those things leslie said don't go together. i don't think people on the extreme right, they are violent because there is a systemic racism, that's what's behind all of this. at that does not make sense. >> dagen: i'll point out it was a trump supporter who was
9:09 am
killed in portland over the weekend, and his death was cheered by a crowd. they woman screaming i'm glad that the fascist is dead. let's remember that. and let's remember that democrats far and wide blamed president trump and the president of several officers protecting a courthouse in portland for that violence. mostly peaceful protests, except for those doggone federal officers protecting federal property. well, they stepped back and guess what? the violence continued. week after week. because of and in part no leadership from a feckless mayor. no leadership from a feckless governor. both democrats, who had removed the power of the police to step up and use right tactics in this instance. kennedy, you are not the cynical one. it is the cynicism and the hollowness and so listen us in members of the democratic party that now you would have
9:10 am
vice president biden and senator kamala harris step up to condemn the rioting and violence and mayhem and looting, but not step up to condemn it when it was destroyed people's livelihoods. hurting the innocent, including businesses that had been in families for generation, that on the surface it's impossible for these leaders to step up and say hey, this is wrong, it needs to stop. only one joe biden's lead over trump is narrowing by the day, he is underperforming where hillary clinton was. at this very time in places like wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania. that is why they are upset now, because they are losing. they don't care about the people who are being hurt by this. the innocent. >> melissa: jason, let me ask you, when regular people, undecided voters or just normal human beings who are not
9:11 am
watching this as closely as we all are. when they see something about somebody pouring quick dry cement into the locks of a federal building where there are officers inside, and lighting a fire outside in order to hopefully burn them alive, do they feel like that's the result of systemic racism? >> jason: unfortunately, i think there were some very legitimate protests and i think it's gone too far. now they use that as an excuse, and they've turned into riots. and they've become so aggressi aggressive, to the loss of life that happened there in portland. in kenosha, wisconsin, the police department is reporting the 175 arrests, 102 of them were from outside the city of kenosha! so these people are taking advantage of situations, pouring into a city to promote this violence. it somehow trying to point to
9:12 am
donald trump, but i've got to tell you what, in the places where trump and the republicans will step up and enforce the law, these are laws on the books, why shouldn't we enforce the law? you're going to be peace and prosperity back, that's exactly what should happen. >> melissa: the nation's intelligence chief defending his decision to cut back on in person briefings for lawmakers. the threat he is now facing from top democrats. >> this is not where you cut off congress from getting the information. i think the house is going to have to subpoena the director of intelligence in order to get information. r car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote. do it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ balanced nutrition for strength and energy.

those briefings ending, a number of congress went to a number of different publications and leaked classified information. again for political purposes, to create a narrative that simply isn't true, that somehow russia is a greater national security threat than china. we have a pandemic of information being leaked out of the intelligence community. >> melissa: intelligence director john ratcliffe blaming those leaks were his decision to cut back on in person election security briefings to congress. in favor of written reports. house entailed chair adam schiff denying that he or his staff leaked anything. saying that the lack of oral briefings could lead to the suppression of critical information. >> when you can hide behind documents or withhold documents, and not have to answer questions about it it lets you conceal the truth. and in this case concealing the truth is concealing russians are

again intervening to help the president in his reelection. >> melissa: schiff also not rolling out the possibility of subpoenas to force top intelligence officials to testify for the november elections. jason, i want to point out the fbi and department of moment security were responsible for aspect of protecting election from foreign interference have said that their plan to continue providing regular briefings to the house intelligence committee in person. what gives here? >> jason: i think john ratcliffe is actually right, he's lived it firsthand. he was on the intelligence committee, he's now the director of national intelligence. what adam schiff just said in that clip saying they were going to withhold documents, that's not what je john ratcliffe said. he said he would provide them in writing, that's what they've done. i got to tell you, the only part i would disagree with my friends john ratcliffe and the dni in
9:19 am
general is if they have direct information about the leaking of classified information, then prosecute them. file a complaint at the department of justice and prosecute adam schiff. i have seen it, i have heard it, i have listened to everybody complain about how he leaked classified information, then prosecute him. i don't understand why he has a security clearance, nobody is able to describe that to me because he has done this repeatedly, misrepresented information, it is documented, and he should lose his security clearance but if he's done something illegal like leaked classified information prosecute him! >> dagen: i'm suspicious, is john ratcliffe sending the democrats on a rubbe rabbit holo make them crazy about this but at the end of the day they'll still get written briefings at the very least. >> melissa: what's interesting
9:20 am
is the argument they are making, dagen you know this but maybe not everybody in our audience knows this. when somebody wants to leak something to you they say i have this intelligence information, here's what it is, as a reporter you know that they may be risking their neck and breaking the law, you're just on the other and listening. when they say they heard it in a briefing, it is very difficult to verify but a lot of reporters go with it and are tempted. if they say they got it in a document, your first question as a reporter's instantly can you show me the document, can you take a picture or can we at least meet somewhere and let me see it so i know? you know your editor is going to ask you did you see that, do we know for sure? to be fair, it is harder to leak things when it's in writing. i don't know that that's really their motivation, but that is a fair point. >> kennedy: this whole thing should be very disconcerting, because it's not just russia and that's incredibly dishonest.
9:21 am
it's a very wild abstraction from adam schiff. i have no doubt that russia has a desired outcome for the 2020 election, but then again so does china, and china has a lot more resources and a lot more money. so why are we just focusing on russia? why aren't we also looking at north korea for that matter? were you have a massive of people in leadership to say the least. so he's the chair of the house intelligence committee, he should be doing a better job of telling people what the foreign threats really are. because it's not just russia that wants to reelect donald trump. it's also china, and they are looking out for their interests. they want a president who they know is going to be short-term that is going to deliver that for them. my question for adam schiff also chair of the house intelligence committee, why haven't you produced legislation that keeps the country safer from outside foreign influence? same thing for nancy pelosi.
9:22 am
>> dagen: they were busy impeaching the president and having the trial when the coronavirus was spreading, so they were distracted on a number of counts. leslie, kennedy listed north korea and china as well. what about iran, iran is on the radar too. >> leslie: definitely, this is absolutely ridiculous because a written report to melissa's point i agree 100%, it's more difficult to leak. it still can be leaked, here's the problem i have as a taxpayer and constituent. whether you are democrat or republican, you elected officials to represent you and your representation in congress should be able to ask questions about russia or china or iran or north korea from these briefings. that you cannot do in writing. so this slap on the hand to adam schiff, that's who they are alleging -- even though they said members of congress -- is really punishing the american people because we need our
9:23 am
representatives to be able to ask specific questions so they have more knowledge than what's just there in the written page but also could be leaked. leave to marco rubio is supporting ratcliffe, who by thy is the acting republican chairman of the senate panel. >> jason: we are in this silly season and tell the election, somehow, someway i can understand where john ratcliffe has got to put a cork on this spew of information that comes out of the intel committee because there is so much leaking going on. and it has to come to an end. and i think marco rubio recognizes that as well. >> melissa: thank you all. after months of violence and protests across the country, the trump campaign says news coverage is partly to blame. should the media have done more? >> the media is complicit in that, ignored it for 90 days,

the historic u.s. broker-dealer to normalize relations between israel and the uae. speak of the democrats have ignored this for so long, now the media is giving them coverage. joe biden says one word about it and they say it is going on, and it's president trump's fault. what a complete scam perpetrated by the mainstream media. we are not going to let them get away with it. >> melissa: hogan gidley accusing the media of being complicit in the rise in violence in several cities, saying they ignored it and tell joe biden finally mentioned it. meantime cnn editor at large has faced criticism on social media for the street. "trump's efforts to label what is happening in major cities as riots speak at least somewhat to his desperation politically speaking at the moment." he writes that the president
9:30 am
said the race is slipping from him, and has two klingon to the "events following the shooting of jacob blake in kenosha is a t writing destroying cities." who is really clinging to the race? >> jason: the media, i totally agree with what hogan said. the media has been complicit, they haven't been reporting the news. and it's been going on in the cities for 90 or 100 days, night after night. these are not just protests, these are riots by the very definition. how many memes have you seen online and just jokes about reporters with flames and cities burning behind them, people throwing molotov cocktails and fireworks and attacking police. the mainstream media almost did nothing at the end of the republican national convention on thursday, going after rand paul and others that were
9:31 am
leaving. it's just kind of disgusting they don't report it, but i think it was mentioned earlier pulling has finally shown the democrats that they cannot ignore and that the media is going to have to say something about it. but the wreck of the democrats have on this is horrific, the media is even worse. >> melissa: leslie, i don't know how you define riot. but if that's not a riots, i don't want to live through what they actually term a riot. how do you define riot? >> leslie: certainly if you have people who are being violent with one another, certainly if you have people who are attacking one another, yes, that's a riot. stealing from a store, that's alluding, absolutely. but if you are protesting peacefully, that doesn't make you a riot or, if you are not a part of the rioting. there are definitely gray areas. left or right in an election year you're going to have people
9:32 am
painted with rose-colored glasses or with doom and gloom and i can save you from this. i want to talk in fact, the thing that bothered me about what hogan said is that for 90 days, the mainstream media didn't cover this. did they? let's take a look. "new york times" back in may, cnn, abc, nbc in june, and july, they did. if it bleeds it leads is an adage that didn't start in 2020, sadly we as americans like to read, like to watch, like to hear about more of the destruction then we do the peaceful protests. that's sad but that's true. and because media is a business and they work in the supply and demand economics 101, they are giving people what they want and what they want to hear. i totally disagree that it was after joe biden said something. >> melissa: now conveniently. now conveniently have the urgency from kamala harris and joe biden, but dagen i want to show you this.
9:33 am
this touched off its own firestorm, this is from cnn. we got a graphic here that shows look at that, it's fiery but mostly peaceful protests after police shootings. that looks mostly peaceful. it really something to smile about there. dagen. >> dagen: it does seem like a couple of nighttime hosts over at that network are writing the talking points and the game plan for vice president biden and senator harris. in terms of we heard month after month, mostly peaceful, mostly peaceful, mostly peaceful, and within a week of people waking up oh golly, this is hurting the democrats in the poll's, it turned into violence everywhere, and it's all trumps fault! again, these networks and a lot of these reporters on these other networks are eternal springs of verbal sewage. not only can't they hear themselves and hear what's going on in city after city, they also
9:34 am
can't smell what's coming out of their mouths. before it's trumps fault now, but it wasn't trumps fault two months ago, or three months ago. that's very interesting. >> melissa: i think what we are pointing to is this idea that all you have to do is look on the internet, and you can see all the places where cnn had a banner across the bottom of the screen that didn't match the picture that was on their where they said i think one time violent protesters trying to save, then they took that down. you have mostly peaceful, behind it are flames and all kinds of violence going on that anyone could see. that's where all of this water came from. i don't think cnn isn't preaching to anyone who hasn't already made up their mind and doesn't know how they feel about those pictures anyway.
9:35 am
i don't know that they are not convincing people who aren't already convinced that everything on the screen, everything in the world that's bad is laid at the feet of donald trump. i think it's interesting the way democrats if you listen closely in the morning, through the day, all of a sudden you hear democrats singing the same song sheet and they come on the shows and say before you know, it was just a few isolated incidents and now they are saying this is donald trump's america. i think their second try at this is so much more effective and is a smarter message, do you feel safe right now? that belongs to drum. it's a tough sell because people in my city blame de blasio, you blame your local politicians who have let you down. or you blame them for letting the police get out of control if you think they are behind the violence. but the new joe biden message is a smarter one, it might be too late and i don't know how
9:36 am
affecteeffective it is. before we will see, things certainly are shifting as millions of americans wait for help, the white house and democrats are still no closer to a deal on coronavirus relief legislation. why the white house chief of staff says housekeeper nancy pelosi is to blame, and how her team is responding. that's next. >> what is the 2.2 represent? you know what her response was? i'm not going to tell you! let me fill in the blank. that's not a proper negotiation. ♪ to severe psoriasis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream.

>> i had a conversation with speaker pelosi and even on her $2.2 trillion counter offer she can't tell the american people nor me what is in that. she puts forth a number suggests that she came down, and yet she's willing to turn down $1.3 trillion of help that goes
9:41 am
to the american people because she would rather them have nothing than to give way on what her fantasy might be. >> melissa: white house chief of staff mark meadows blaming pelosi for stalled talks on the next coronavirus relief package. pelosi and democrats have come down from the original $3.4 trillion bill the house passed back in may. negotiations have since hit a standstill. a representative for speaker pelosi reportedly calling meadows comments on their latest conversation "misleading." saying meadows himself did not break down the cost either. last week pelosi told reporters that for now, she doesn't plan to give any more ground on the relief package. jason, when you look at this negotiation and the way that it's going around and around in circles, i wonder if neither side wants to get this done. if republicans don't want to give more relief because they
9:42 am
don't want to pay people to stay home and not work, they want to get things open, if democrats don't want to get this going because they want to keep things installed before the election, is either side really trying to get some thing done here? >> jason: i do think that republicans still have control in the white house, there are billions of dollars that still have not been spent. the president has been clear that h the things he must to do with payroll tax, but speaker pelosi will continue to lose the hearts and minds of the american people when she can't articulate what she's asking for. if the government is already going to spend seven plus trillion dollars of the american people's money, money we don't have, that will continue to go out the door. and remember, week before last it was nancy pelosi who passed a postal release bill and had the
9:43 am
hearing about it after they pass the bill. that's how she runs things and why it makes no sense to the american people. >> melissa: dagen, one of the things that bothers me, one of the big lies in all of this is like the postal relief package, they said the post office wasn't going to be able to do their job. well it turns out they had approved a multibillion-dollar line of credit with the treasury, if they needed money they were welcome to borrow it. they didn't want to owe it back. when we look at the coronavirus bill the same thing is true, if states and municipalities are desperate for money for schools, for all of these different things, they too as of july 29th have the line of credit with the treasury, they just want a gift, not a loan. right? >> dagen: right, and to jason's point there was a quarter of a trillion dollars in the cares act for state and local governments. 150 billion of it was just a blank check, and 90 billion more
9:44 am
was for schools and medicaid and public transit. that's about three months of tax revenue for the states. and nancy pelosi and the democrats in that three and a half trillion dollars, that next package a pass, that there is more than $900 billion for the states, so it is very clearly based on estimates of future losses and it is covered for these poorly run liberal, deep blue states. that's one of the reasons the republican pushback, we hate them all, don't we, don't we hate all lawmakers? they should have come together and put something together to stairstep the extra unemployment benefits that people were getting because you still have a million people every week filing for unemployed meant. first-time unemployment benefits, about 14 and a half collecting continuing claims. people are desperate, lawmakers
9:45 am
