9:00 am
with no income verification and no appraisal va streamline refi from newday usa >> we begin with a fox news alert as we await president biden's remarks as senate democrats are plowing ahead with the nearly $2 trillion covid-19 stimulus plans, signaling they will move forward with their agenda without any republican support. the senate in a marathon overnight session past a buzz at resolution 51-50 along party lines. vice president kamala harris had no tie that tie-breaking vote.
9:01 am
because it's 50/50. putting democrats o step further to approving a final bill. the republicans went after that massive price tag and called the plan a wish list of far left policies. that's not in line with biden's call for unity at all. you are watching "outnumbered" come on i'm a harris faulkner. my cohost, emily compagno. host of kennedy on fox business, kennedy. former white house to communications director under president trump, alyssa farah, is here. an nfl player, ordained minister command spokesman for the national association a police athletic league, jack brewer. jack, great to see you, alyssa, great to see you too. jack come i want to start with you on pushing ahead without any republican support. i've heard that the clock is ticking, i know that and i know where the economy is for people. a lot of people are struggling to. at the same time, we have seen eight months go by with nancy pelosi to get to what we got to at the end of last year.
9:02 am
>> jack: it adds to the divide. i think it's unfortunate when you already have a nation that is split down the middle. to not have any republican support for a bell this big -- this package if you look back ten or 30 years ago would e unheard of. these are numbers that are the size of small economies around the world. we really should all be able to sit around the table at this point in our nation. we have a lot of new members of congress, we have a lot of new folks that have just started their new role. it's unfortunate to see that the vice president had to step in to be the deciding vote in something so critical. the american people need relief. they need it now. american businesses need relief. they needed not bear so many states are shutting everything down. here in florida we've been doing quite well but all over the country you hear horror stories. hopefully they can come and put
9:03 am
politics aside and try to help the american people without putting in so many horrific spending packages to fund things like abortion and all of these liberal policies. >> harris: it's interesting. i've not yet had this conversation with anybody who does not bring up florida and governor desantis. very interesting. alyssa, tell me this. your communications director for president trump so you know how hard it is -- is like herding cats to get everybody together on one subject and go forward. jack sadek -- deduced think this would be the one thing paired wise is it so difficult? >> it's a great point that jack makes. particularly the price tag on this particular stimulus package. you're talking about $1.9 billion, which we are looking at that -- i'm sorry, trillion. representing roughly 15% of the
9:04 am
u.s. gdp. you would think at a minimum you would want to have republican buy-in on the package the size. it goes to show that the biden message of unity and working across the aisle is mostly lip service on something this significant, they could not come to the other side and try to work with republicans on priorities that impact every american around the country. i would say this. the vote last night showed that republicans are able to work in some key messaging amendments. what i'm concerned about is this package is not representative of about 50% of the country that did not vote for this president. >> harris: you know, kennedy, this is what marjorie taylor greene was talking about in the top of last hour and her news conference. she said they freed me from the committees. she describes this as -- i will paraphrase this, more of a dictatorship done something you can work together on ideas. >> that's the point of all of this, to have one party and one
9:05 am
culture. unfortunately. heaven help you if your voice doesn't line up issue directives. now we are saying these job killing measures from a president who said that he wanted to get the economy going, he wanted to unify the countd wt people were fully employed while forcing businesses, small businesses and small states to pay workers what they absolutely can't afford means that more businesses are going to end up closing. more people will be laid off. i'm talking about the $15 minimum wage that was shelved last night. still that's where we are headed. that was at the very top of the progressive wish list. that always sounds like a great idea. a lot of these things are well intentioned but consequences are incredibly dire, especially for an economy that has been shuttered by the federal
9:06 am
government. largely people are not back to work. now they are losing jobs wholesale. >> emily. >> now we see the power. now we see what the next four years will look like, which is straight down party lines advised president harris coming in for the tiebreaker. this is why the georgia senate vote was so crucial and why the midterms will be so crucial to the g.o.p. this is why the next two years they need to get their act together to increase the appeal, broaden the diversity come come and put their centrist views and the lines of the people can join. otherwise this is what the next four years will look like. to kennedy's point about shelving that minimum wage, i thought that was particularly telling that that amendment passed because it goes to show that the factual effect of raising the federal minimum wage, that is been accepted including in the democratic party. for that amendment to move forward, even though it doesn't matter what that second budget
9:07 am
passing. i think that's telling of where the democrats should keep their parameter plays. if they continue to push forward with a far left gent at some point their centrist democrats will break away. >> harris: you know, jack i want to come back to you on something because it doesn't have to be that everybody agrees exactly. you can come together and pick some things out -- it's just you decided to it together. >> you are exactly right. you have to have a center. we have to start from the same place of truth. is that going to be for capitalism and opportunity in america for small businesses to grow and folks to be employed? or is it going to be government spending, massive regulation. during a time of a pandemic, that is what is really so appalling about this situation,
9:08 am
to increase spending in this nature and to focus on so many things that have nothing to do with job creation, have nothing to do with putting americans back to work. you actually push policies that are now cutting the american workforce during these trying times. you look out across the globe, people are hurting. we are lucky to be in america. we are lucky to be in a place where we are still able to bring and put food on the table. but if you keep passing policies like that, like this, we are going to go to the core and we are going to just blow ourselves up from the inside out and it is just sad. hopefully they can wake up and hopefully this will be a wake-up call and enough american start raising their voices. >> harris: the last time you and i saw each other was at that mega-church when i interviewed president trump in dallas, texas, in june. you and i have talked about this before. i don't know, alyssa, maybe there is something in this bill but there are food deserts and food insecurity's and cities
9:09 am
across america. you don't have to go across the world to find that. $15 an hour does not solve that. bar owners, restaurant owners have told me they want to get back to work. they don't want a hand out. those are two separate issues that i don't know if this monstrous bill will even had. >> alyssa: absolutely. there are businesses that are not able to operate. people are not able to work in states like california and around the country. at the end of the day the best stimulus packages allowing americans to get back to work and to do so safely. again, these large sums of money going out, i think we can all agree that getting another round of direct payments makes sense. people are struggling. honestly we need to be having the discussion on how do we reopen our economy? how do we reopen our schools question mike that's where the discussion needs to be. i worry that the biden administration is going to continue to try and throw money at the problem rather than
9:10 am
passing policy that incentivizes growing our economy and allowing businesses to operate. if we keep going back to florida but it is a vibrant state that has a governor that is putting its businesses and its workers first. we need to see that nationwide. >> harris: it's interesting. i brought up the president did not offend with jack because i watched you, you talked about the opportunity zones the president was formally working on. i wonder if this creates that same kind of job creation for lack of a better way of putting it. let's move on. the presidents son gets a $2 million book deal from the same publisher that canceled a book by republican senator. is this another form of woke media bias? we will get into it. the biden administration said it would listen to the science, does it really doing that? as alyssa was just talking about, when it comes to opening schools. science talking. biden listening? >> the white house is still

>> welcome back, president biden still not ready to push teachers and unions to reopen schools. even though it's on cdc director says in-person classes can be held safely without vaccinating school staff. white house press secretary telling reporters that the president wants to open classrooms as fast as possible but listen to her answer to new data that found limited spread of coronavirus in schools. >> the head of the cdc said it was safe to reopen schools without vaccinating teachers paid to set the white house was
9:16 am
still waiting for the official guidance before making a final determination. why is isn't what the director of the cdc said, wise and that enough? >> the director of the cdc says they have not issued their final guidance. we wait for that process to complete and see its way through. as she would say she did an interview last night where she spoke to this again. the president wants schools to open. he wants them to stay open. he wants to do that safely and he wants health and medical experts to be the guide for how we should do exactly that. dr. walensky spoke to this in a professional capacity. >> alyssa, for her to make that distinction between -- what purpose does that serve for her to do so? >> it's a ridiculous came. she has the cdc director
9:17 am
regardless of where she's speaking and at what time. but i would like to say, imagine for a moment if the trump white house had dared to question something that came out from the doctors are the scientists. we were regularly being accused of being antiscience for factoring in the other things to the covid response like the economy. it's really a stunning degree of hypocrisy that now they have the medical experts, they have the scientists proving that it is safe to get kids back in the classroom, yet they are politicizing it and holding it off purely because of pressure the democrats are receiving from teachers unions. it's tragic, it is sad, we are going to pay the consequences of not having kids in schools. it would be a failure of this administration that allowed it to happen. >> parents are construing that the president is not on their side, that they don't have his support. why can't he take a hard line?
9:18 am
>> harris: if he takes a hard line than the teachers unions are going to say that too. i understand the politics of unions and all of that. my big question is this is not picking aside necessarily that would be incongruence with what he said he was going to do. he said it was going to follow the signs. if he did that he would not have to say i'm going against the teachers union. now. just go for the science. it's really simple it's what they said they would do. maybe they don't remember it. maybe we need to wear t-shirts or something to remind us administration that that's what they said they would know. kennedy? is mom's, i have one kid who is in hybrid learning. she's been in and out of and buy some beer they've been testing and able to do that but i have one child who is not, their schools can't do that -- the bifurcation of where we are is really not along the lines of science. i'm thing else is driving ed. >> kennedy: it's the teachers
9:19 am
unions. i'm glad people are seeing this. i'm really glad to. it sucks. how dare they not pay attention to the learning, the activity, the sport. by god, the suicide and mental illness. kid's mental health is taking such a toll. that should be the most important thing we are discussing here and we are not. shame on the teachers unions in new york and chicago and all over new jersey and los angeles, where you are withholding children from socializing and doing unspeakable damage in the name of what? i thought we were supposed to follow the science. the cdc director was not going on on a lark. she was not free styling and talking about her -- she was talking about inciting data that says schools are safe to reopen. administrators and parents all
9:20 am
know about masking, social distancing, and -- they all know that. they can do it. it's been a year end. i hope the teacher union -- we see the emperor has no clothes. >> jack, your thoughts on kennedy's points? >> jack: she has spot on. you would think this would be the one issue that would unite us would be the education of our children. i'm fortunate, i work in inner-city schools and i mentor and inner-city schools. it brings me to my knees and saddens me when i see so many unserved kids that i get to work with that don't have computers at home, that don't have the proper parenting at home to be able to even keep up with their curriculum right now. we have pockets of america where zero proficiency in reading and math. now you are going onto the second year where you have these kids sitting in situations where they are underserved and don't have the access to be able to
9:21 am
get education. if you look at d.c. and look at these politicians come i guarantee you every single politician in d.c. either has their kids in school, a private school, or they have the resources to be able to give to their children and keep up with their curriculum. this is not a writer. this is about the underserved. we have an education crisis that we need to address and we need to come together around this because kids that are poor right now will never wake up from this. they are going to end up in prison or they are going to end up in poverty. either one of those scenarios is not got it. we are better than that, america. >> emily: alyssa, the statistics that jack sides are so compelling and they are really reachable. how is it that with these decisions of this administration with ignoring did not just the covid science, but the science and the data supporting the complete the variation of the mental health and all those
9:22 am
ancillary factors brought up by kennedy, jack, and harris, why do they continue to set policy that is anti-medical to those stated goals we all share? >> alyssa: sadly it is all politics. it is catering to the far left teachers union and their base. adding to what jack sadek, i remember vice president pens hearing a horrifying story from one of the governors on the covid task force saying the rate of reporting of child abuse had gone down dramatically in their state. you would think that what would be a good thing, it was in fact because kids are not in the classroom. teachers are not seeing. in addition to the many other issues, child case issues are going unreported. it is a travesty that we have allowed children's mental health to be politicized. this is on the shoulders of the biden administration. >> emily: harris, we have also been speaking about the privileged versus the
9:23 am
nonprivileged and our country. >> harris: i'm going to step in just a second. something caught my eyes. president biden has just entered the room inside the white house and is talking economy. let's watch. >> president biden: i want to talk today about our plan. the january job numbers came out today. while we were grateful for everyone who found work and is earning a paycheck, it is very clear our economy is still in trouble. we added just 6,000 private sector jobs in the country last month. overall we added 49,000 jobs. this at a time when we have nearly 10 million people out of work, 4 million people have been out of work for six months or longer, and 2.5 million men and women have been driven from the workforce. 15 million americans are behind
9:24 am
on their rental payments. 24 million adults and 12 million children literally don't have enough food to eat. these aren't democrats or republicans, these are americans. they are suffering. they are suffering not because of anything they did, through no fault of their own they are suffering. once in a century of virus decimated our economy and it is still wreaking havoc on our economy today. so much of this is still about the virus. we are still in the peak of this pandemic. in fact january was the single deadliest month of the whole pandemic. we lost nearly 100,000 lives. i know some in congress think we have already done enough to deal with the crisis in our country. others think that things are getting better and we can afford to sit back and either too little or nothing at all. that is not what i see. i see enormous pain in this
9:25 am
country. a lot of folks out of work. a lot of folks going hungry. staring at the ceiling wondering what am i going to do tomorrow? a lot of folks trying to figure out how to keep their jobs and take care of their children. a lot of folks reaching the breaking point. suicides are up, mental health needs are increasing, violence against women and children is increasing. a lot of folks are using hope. i believe the american people are looking right now to their government for help to do our jobs and not let them down. i am going to act and i'm going to act fast. i would like to be doing it with the support of republicans, i've met with republicans, there are some fine people that want to get something done, but they are not willing to go as far as i think we have to go. i've told both republicans and democrats that is my preference, to work together. but if i have to choose between
9:26 am
getting help to americans who are hurting so badly -- or compromising on a bill that is up to the crisis, that's an easy choice. the american people are hurting it now. that's why i'm so grateful to the house on the senate for moving so fast on the american rescue plan. here's what is in that plan. first, it abuts a hundred and $60 billion into our national covid-19 strategy, which includes more money for manufacturing, distribution, and setting up vaccine sites. everything is needed to get vaccines into people's arms. there is something nothing more important than us getting the resources in this country. as an end as quickly as possible. job number one of the american rescue plan is vaccines.
9:27 am
vaccines. the second, the american rescue plan is going to keep their commitment of $2,000. 600 had already gone out, $1400 checks to people that need it. this is money directly into people's pockets. they need it. we need to target that money. folks making $300,000 don't get any windfall. if you are a family that does a wage earner, each of the parents, one making 30 ground and one making 40 or 50 grand, maybe that's a little more than -- yeah, they need the money. they are going to get it. here's what i will not do, i am not cutting the size of the checks, they are going to be $1400, period. that's what the american people were promised. very quickly, here's the rest of my plan. there is money for food and nutrition.
9:28 am
so that folks do not go hungry. i think our republican friends are going to support that. it extends unemployment insurance, which is going to run out on march 13th of this year, to the end of september of this year. because we are still going to have high unemployment. it helps small businesses. thousands of whom have had to go out of business. does money to help folks pay their health insurance. it has rental assistance to keep people in their homes rather than being thrown out onto the street. it has money to help us open our school safely. there is money for child care and paid leaf. it gives money to state and local governments to prevent layoffs of essential personnel. sanitation workers, it raises the minimum wage, it's big and it's bold and it's a real answer to the crisis we are in. one more thing, i want to say it
9:29 am
very clearly on this, it is better economics. it not only addresses the immediate crisis we are in, it is better for the long-term economic health of our nation and our competitors. my plan creates more jobs, creates more economic growth, and does more to make us competitive with the rest of the world, than any other plan. don't take my word for it, just look at what leading economists across the nation have said, and across the ocean have said. wall street investment firm says if we passed the american rescue plan it will lead to 4 million more jobs than otherwise would be created. a nonpartisan institution is look at the plan and said that gdp will reach prepandemic projections by 2021. meaning we will have recovered by the end of 2021.
9:30 am
much sooner, by the way, then if we do nothing. look, just this week the congressional budget office projected that if we do not take action, it would take until the year 2025 to return to full employment. there is also a growing chorus of top economists, right, center, left, that say we should be less focused on the deficit and more focused on the investments we make and can make now in jobs, keeping families out of poverty, preventing long-term economic damage to our nation where the simple truth is, if we make these investments now with interest rates at historic lows, it would generate more growth, higher incomes, stronger economy, and our nation's finances would be in a stronger position as well. the payoff will not just be in jobs, but in our global competitiveness as well. because we will be regaining our
9:31 am
economic trends faster. so the way i see had to come of the biggest risk is not going to big, but if we go to small. we've been here before. when this nation had the great recession that barack and i inherited in 2009 i was asked to leave the economic recovery. it was a big recovery package, roughly $800 billion. i did everything i could to get it passed, including getting three republicans to change their votes to vote for it. but it was not enough. it was not quite big enough. it stemmed the crisis, but the recovery could have been faster and bigger. today we need an answer that meets the challenge of this crisis. not one that falls short. that is the issue facing the country right now. what republicans have proposed is either to do nothing, or not enough. all of a sudden, many of them
9:32 am
discovered fiscal restraint in concern for the deficits. don't kid yourself, this approach will come with a cost. more pain for more people for longer than has to be. secretary yellen talks about the scarring effect the comes with prolonged economic pain. we see that affect and economic data. more importantly, we can see it in the lives of people living in long-term unemployment. living in hunger. how to keep their jobs, take care of their kids. then she talks about the need to alleviate long-term suffering in the economy. we can do that. we don't have to wait until 2025 to get back to full employment, which would be the case if we do not do this. again, independent analysis from places like rudi's, wall street, brookings institution say we can
9:33 am
achieve that by the beginning of next year. to me, this is what this moment comes down to. are we going to pass a big enough package to vaccinate people, to get people back to work, to alleviate the suffering in this country this year? that is what i want to do. or are we going to say to millions of americans that are out of work, many of whom have been out of work for six months or longer, who have been scarred by this economic and public health crisis don't worry, hang on, things are going to get better. we are going to go smaller but it is going to take us longer. like until 2025. that's the republican answer right now. i can't in good conscience do that. too many people in the nation have already suffered for too long through this pandemic and economic crisis. telling them that we don't have
9:34 am
the money to alleviate their suffering, to get the full employment sooner, to vaccinate america after $8 trillion in deficit spending over the past 12 years, much of it having gone to the wealthiest people in the country. it is neither true nor necessary. we do have the resources to get the full employment sooner. we do have the tools to reduce a lot of suffering in this country. we just have to choose to use it. it is time to act. we can reduce suffering in this country. we can put people back to work. we can gain control of this virus. that is what the american rescue plan does. that is what i am determined to do. that is what i hope we will be able to do in the near term. may god bless you all, may god protect our troops, and i truly believe real help is on the way. thank you all so very much. thank you.
9:35 am
>> harris: we have not been promised there are questions but the president just talked about why he is willing to forgo negotiating with republicans, and didn't take a single question. kennedy, i come to you. he mentioned the necessity for getting that money and he did talk about food and nutrition, but he's not going to build incentivized tax incremental financing with countries for grocery stores and food deserts come he's talking about a short fix. that's a lot of money for a short fix. >> kennedy: that's a short fix. it's going to take a long time to pay off and that means we are going to borrow more and more money from china defined it. i wish he had taken questions. even just a couple. michael bloomberg, i know we are going to talk about this, the former mayor of new york city who ran as a democrat for president, he is telling president biden suck it up, tell
9:36 am
the teachers union to get kids back in school. i know we just spent time talking about that but i would like to hear reporters press him. not just hear it -- i want to hear it from the president's mouth. he felt like it was important enough to address the nation and talk about the voterama -- let's have a exchange with some members of the presence who should have some very important questions for him. >> you know what? i can't miss saying this, we saw democrats decide outside of the realms of their own party, that congresswoman marjorie taylor and would be kicked off of two committees. she took questions. can i get an amen question mike jack? >> jack: amen. >> harris: emily, as we look at the situation i'd still did not see anything long-term.
9:37 am
food insecurity aside, what he is talking about does not get us beyond this point, that is $2 trillion. >> emily: i also felt like it was triage -- a triage wound of your own making. because at the american rescue plan but that is munch house and by proxy. the extent of this crisis is because of the lockdown when he cites the statistics like spikes and domestic abuse, americans wondering where their rent payment is going to come from, some thousands of small businesses close come out is from the lockdown paired this is not a covid relief bill. the damage and the tragedy of our economics right now would be listed immediately if they would stop digging the knife into the wound. a large majority of these problems would be solved immediately by reopening the economy to the full effect. i can't help but when i hear all of these just feel a measure of
9:38 am
distrust and disgust at the fact that he's citing some type of exterior force that is creating it, when it is within its power. he says this plan will create more jobs than any other plan, just restore the jobs. the women that have lost jobs, the people of color come of the minorities, those are from the lockdown spirit in large parts from the hospitality industry. it's not because of the illnesses and that direct correlation. when he said that's the republican answer right now that's a start contrast from his earlier postings of unity and what he had accomplished in that way. the close on this -- >> harris: by earlier immune like 15 days ago. >> emily: like 20 seconds and that's between he bragged about the people who who were able to come on board. i felt like the whip snap of happening in that speech. finally he talked about the pain lasting longer than need be. every thing was about 2025 and how that was way longer than
9:39 am
that pain needed to be. again, this which can be flipped now. >> harris: alyssa, what did you hear? >> alyssa: very well said, emily, i will give you an amen. i did not hear anything about how we are going to create jobs. once again he brought up the $15 minimum wage, which the nonpartisan congressional budget office says will eliminate at a minimum 1.3 million jobs. that's at a time when more than 10 million americans are unemployed. you never discussed that type of a measure during a pandemic when you have record unemployment. today we had very bleak jobs numbers. what we need is we need smart tax policies, we need smart deregulation, not what biden is offering. i think he does not have a vision -- what we had in the trump administration, that incentivized job creation, this is a stopgap of spending money and putting money back into the pockets of americans temporarily
9:40 am
but not dealing with the systemic issue. >> harris: thank the good lord that we have a vaccine, and another one potentially coming with the johnson & johnson. we are watching that as the emergency authorization request is being put through together. jock we will get you on the flip, the white house responding from a push from progressives to have the president cancel student loan debts with the stroke of a pen. let me tell you, that bill is huge. >> canceling student loan debt is good for you, but if you have student loan debt or not, because it is good for our economy. ♪ ♪
