tv Outnumbered FOX News February 16, 2021 9:00am-10:01am PST
9:00 am
faulkner focus," my pleasure being with you weekdays at 11:00 a.m. eastern. it's nearly high noon in the east and time for a "outnumbered." we are going to begin with that fox news alert. members of new york governor andrew cuomo's own party are against him as he remains defiant. governor cuomo accused of having his office cover up the true events and the extent to which the covid-19 disease took out nursing home residents. in his first comments since a report that senior aid admitted to withholding data from the feds, part of a conspiracy theory and toxic political environment. >> to be clear, all the deaths in the nursing homes and in the hospitals were always fully, publicly, and accurately reported. the numbers were the numbers.
9:01 am
>> harris: cuomo says new york is always reported deaths inside nursing homes, which is true. the problem is, the state attorney general found new york undercounted total nursing home resident deaths by up to 50%. that would include those who were transported to hospitals. now state democrats are going after cuomo's explanations and demanding an investigation. >> he is lying right now in a press conference about sending notices to the assembly and senate that we knew about the department of justice investigation. i do believe we need a thorough investigation. >> harris: for the families of seniors who died from covid-19 in nursing homes, the search for answers is even tougher. >> he didn't have time to give them numbers which now he's saying that it was his void but
9:02 am
i think he is void of compassion, he is void of common sense, the reality is that he had time to write a book. but i did not have time to be transparent. >> harris: there were more than 13,000 nursing home deaths from covid-19 in new york and with 813 at assisted living facilities, 954 at adult care facilities, a total of more than 15,000 people, much higher than they 8500 initially reported. you are watching "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner. here today, emily compagno, syndicated radio host and fox news contributor, leslie marshall." no interruptions was put on fox nation, tomi lahren. and cohost of "fox & friends" weekends, will kane. very real, not make-believe. well, i'm going to come to you first on this end your reaction.
9:03 am
>> will: my reaction, first of all, harris, good to see you. i think this is the first time i've spoken to you in about 12 years, probably on a fox news digital offering some decade ago. it's good to be on with you again. my reaction to the andrew cuomo story, the governor cuomo story isn't quite as happy. i think it's an embarrassment of leadership to start, that's at a minimum. we are talking to somebody was very happy to accept all of the celebration, the pats on the back, celebrity endorsements, whatever it may be that came his way, he basked in that spotlight for months on end and now that it's time for someone to be held accountable for his decisions, what is he do? well, it's everyone's fault but himself. it is the workers at the nursing homes, it is an act of god, he literally had to invoke god, the pandemic itself which is in a rational explanation, he of course blames president trump, he's found every single thing
9:04 am
including conspiracy theories and a toxic political environment to blame but himself. at minimum we are talking about an embarrassing display of leadership. but as you describe that cover up, what we are talking about is something much more, it requires investigation, it could potentially add up to a criminal cover-up. >> harris: well, and the problem, the issue for me and my guest last hour, a republican who actually in 2018 ran against governor cuomo said, who wrote this policy? because that's really important, emily, if we could just get the origins of the policy, the governor has blamed god, he's blamed the federal government, he's blame to the nursing home staff more recently and he said it doesn't even matter, let's watch. >> covid did not get into the nursing homes by people coming from hospitals. covid got into the nursing homes by staff walking into the
9:05 am
nursing home. i think it is all politically motivated, if anybody looked at the facts they would know that it was wholly absurd on its face. >> anyone who wants to ask why did the state do that with covid patience in nursing homes, it's because the state followed president trump's cdc guidance. who can we prosecute for those deaths? nobody. nobody. mother nature, god. >> harris: oh, emily. really, there is nobody who is culpable? who rode that policy, who signed off on that, who covered it up? i think we can find some folks to talk to. >> emily: that's what we call in court, asked and answered, you just hit the nail on the head, there's a long line of likely boats that are culpable especially for the most egregious part which is the
9:06 am
cover-up. new york state democrat senators summed it up perfectly, about his remarks yesterday, they were riddled with lies and among the most egregious in my opinion is the one you just cited which is that flying in the face of the results end of the data's own reports had it, he the caregivers for spreading covid in the nursing home when his report revealed that up to 60% of the nursing homes had not a single case of covid before receiving those covid-positive patience back in the hospital. his rare note of regret yesterday as they reported on him taking responsibility, they argued. he said that the reason that he didn't really use this data for the last seven months was because he was focusing on the doj inquiry that he said "we were too focused on doing the job and addressing the crisis of the moment. that's like when you are in a job interview and you are asked
9:07 am
about your weakness and you say, i'm just too much of a perfectionist. what an elementary, deceptive, self-promoting, transparent, obvious deflection here well beneath the office of the governor of new york. >> harris: see, i am just a plain speaking girl from georgia, just call it alive. tomi? >> tomi: i think we can all agree that there needs to be an investigation here, congratulations to new york democrat standing up and saying this is unacceptable but let's keep in mind that the democrat machine is still very much protecting this governor. we can talk all day about how wrong it was to cover up but how about we do some thing about it? let's look at california, they are recalling their tyrant governor who's been lying to them, they had a massive, massive response and they are able to really get, probably get them on the ballot to recall him. so new york, you are up next. pony up, this is your chance to
9:08 am
shine. you know the guy is corrupt and lying to your face, let's do some thing about it. we can have investigation after investigation, which we should, he needs to be held to account but it's not going to do anything if the voters and people of new york don't stand up and say, you know what? we have the power, we can get rid of this guy, they can do it in california, you can do it in new york, too, let's go. >> harris: there is something they can do first as well before they get to the point of where tomi lahren's, leslie, that is recall, we are still in the pandemic. >> i don't think that's a good idea but i also don't think that the governor's handling of this was good at all. i tell my kids, i tell my staff, i tell myself, when you screw up, own it. he needs to apologize and an apology is certainly not enough. look, the cdc did set the guidelines, other states did this but what other states didn't do is manipulate numbers and not be forthright with the numbers. these people that died were
9:09 am
almost double the amount that we originally were told. that is very problematic. look, it is common for people to be rehabbed in nursing homes whether they have a broken leg or covid, but the governor is not being truthful as to how the spread of covid came to those individuals and when they saw the numbers among the vulnerable population, they continue to do that. the big problems here, he's not leading by example owning and apologizing, he's not being honest and forthright with the data and wasn't and i agree there does need to be an investigation and three, when they knew this was beyond problematic and people were dying, they didn't stop it in the state of new york and we did see stoppage in other states surrounding him that made the same decision. tomi, we are seventh in the world and vaccinations, girl, no recall. >> tomi: wishful thinking, leslie, wishful thinking. >> harris: you gave other great reasons to recall those emergency powers because we are
9:10 am
still in the pandemic and last i checked, i mean, this governor and the city of new york's mayor have struggled to figure out what you need to get teachers back in the classroom, vaccinations, that sort of thing. is this the guy if he's at the heart of those things you just mentioned, leslie, that you want making more emergency power decisions? it's just a question and it's easily answerable, show us what you've got, take responsibility and let the people decide, as tomi says. they put that petition together for gavin newsom pretty quickly. will, i will give you the last word. >> will: , i like how leslie broke down into different elements, past, present, and he future. why did you put these patients back into nursing home? they had empty beds, why was this put into place? i like what tomi said, do some thing about it, do some thing beyond just repeal emergency powers, we can do some thing about changing leadership in new york. future, that's the investigation. why were the numbers twisted,
9:11 am
why was it changed, why were we lied to? that's where the investigation goes because there will be a bigger accountability than simply taking andrew cuomo out of office. b1 okay, we will move on. several significant developments in the case of the anti-trump political group the lincoln project. you know it it's been accused of covering up? sexual harassment allegations against one of their founders. a second miner now has come forward. and new claims, new reports that claims a group's leadership knew about allegations earlier. then previously thought and this, outrage after one of the democratic congressional campaign committee senior advisors went after capitol police as "white supremacists" after the riot and that was just one of his controversial comments. the details just ahead. ♪ ♪ struggle.

>> emily: welcome back the founders of the antidrug lincoln project we have already been accused of covering for a predator and funneling donations to their own companies. a new report says the organization's leadership knew about claims against the cofounder as early as march of last year, more than 20 men have accused him of misconduct including three former lincoln project interns. one of those men said he contacted him when he was just 14. now the journalist who first reported on the allegations and says another minor has come forward. >> i have been in contact with another minor who was sexually harassed by john weaver, john weaver of team avenue weaver aggressively sexually harassed him, there are to make the
9:17 am
allegations are multiple and there's possibly more to come. >> the lincoln project announced it has hired a lot law firm to conduct an internal review of the company culture but records show that that firm has prior financial ties to the group. harris, lets detail that one side of the time, how independent can they be with their investigation given that many of the attorneys there donated to the lincoln project? >> harris: first of all, it's complicated because i think that this goes beyond paul hastings firm. i mean, i wondered from the beginning, to go out and get a firm to take a look when an independent journalist is doing everything but winning the case. i mean, he's gone out, he's got to go miners now. four team at minors at the time,
9:18 am
i think everybody is an adult now, upwards of 20 men who say they were victims. what is the lincoln project waiting for? is there something going on behind the scenes it has people kind of passing a hot potato and if the only person you can pass it to as political ties to you, then who did you hire? alike, are they really sincere in wanting to get to the bottom of this? i can't they find somebody more independent? maybe they call that independent journalist up and see if he can help out. >> emily: leslie, in the criminal world, the age of 14 extends sentencing to a maximum amount, the sexual harassment allegations are quite severe, we've known about them or the lincoln project knew about them and yet in the 17th television appearances, and the since the allegations first came to light, not one tv outlet asked any of these founders are associates about them, how is this defensible?
9:19 am
>> leslie: it isn't. as a human being as a parent i think there should be a special place in hell for anyone who harms a child. we have to go with what we know so far, the associated press reported that one former executive director did have knowledge of this, the question is what did they know and when did they know it to? this is, quite frankly, unforgivable if they knew and we had to be very careful of that. i'm very encouraged that they are releasing employees current and former and have offered to release them from the nda, nondisclosure agreement and i'm interested to hear the facts coming out from current and former employees so we can see other individuals at the top of the lincoln project had any knowledge and continue to fund raise with that knowledge. and if so that would make me sick to my stomach. >> emily: tomi, let's pan out for a second and approach us with a bird's-eye view. leslie mentioned the nda situation and a lot of the criticism that the lincoln
9:20 am
project had about president trump at the time was his nda, corruption, fraud, predatory behavior and the like. hello pot, meech cattle. >> tomi: absolutely, let's just imagine this was a pro-trump group, imagine the outlines, imagine the headlines, i think we'll have a pretty good idea that it is true, not only is this group done but let's go a step further here, isn't it the liberals that say we are supposed to cancel people and then ask questions later? but now because this is an anti-trump group now it's let's ask questions and then cancel them if we need to. the forgiveness that goes along with being anything associated with anti-trump is really amazing to me. now they want an investigation. i wish it would be the same if this was a pro-trump group but i think even leslie knows that is absolutely not the case. >> harris: can i just get one more quick word in? >> leslie: disagree. >> harris: i hope before we
9:21 am
cancel anybody we get the facts from the alleged victims because you know, it's too much of a cop-out for the cofounders and members of the lincoln project to do what they've been doing the last few days and that is just i am no longer associated with this and i don't associate with the group and i didn't really ever see that person. that's not good enough, let's not cancel this too quickly, let's depose them. >> emily: love it. you are an attorney, i love it. [laughs] quick note about will kane who is joining us today from dallas where they are experiencing severe weather, we hope to have his feedback up and running within the next block so fingers crossed on that. coming up, controversy over the democrats new hire to a top campaign posts, not because he's a former gang member but because he caused capitol police white supremacists after the riots.

9:28 am
slammed capitol officers as white supremacists, tweeting "the answer is not to give more money to a different group of white supremacist whose job it is to uphold white the premises." he wrote that just two days after capital police officer died after last month's speech, before he was hired by the dcc. there was out outrage and critics are also slamming his comments of last summer when he seemed to excuse riots, tweeting "i don't understand why you can't condemn violent police and acknowledge looting as a vital form of social protest." tomi, i'd like to start with you here. your reaction to all of his comments that i just read after the riots, after 140 capitol police officers were injured, three of whom passed away, to go by suicide, depending the capital, is now employer. your thoughts? >> tomi: few things fire me up more than when people disrespect law enforcement but the double
9:29 am
standard is excruciating, the democrats spent a couple days honoring law enforcement because they could use it as a tool to go after trump supporter's. all conservatives of note condemned everything that happened on january 6th. the democrats have someone like this at the helm is discussing and it shows they are for defunding the police, they have demonized police officers for years and that isn't going to change because of what happened on january 6 then this guy is a perfect example of that. but all the talk on mainstream media about trump supporter's, trump inciting a riot, inciting an insurrection and inciting violence, what the heck is this guy doing? he's calling police officers white supremacists, many of those police officers that protected that capital and protected our democracy and protected innocent people that day were people of color. so again, this is the demonization of police, this is the democratic party. if they don't stand up and say something about this it's really going to show their true colors.
9:30 am
it makes me absolutely second to see this and you know trump supporter's have been called white supremacist and intolerant bigots for years now and for someone to come out and once again label our police officers white supremacists is absolutely disgusting and it needs to be condemned by every noteworthy democrat as all of us conservatives did to what happened on january said. i'm going to wait to see it but i'm not going to hold my breath. >> emily: will, welcome back, i want to dig a little deeper with you on something so bear with me here. the tweet i read earlier, responding to someone on twitter who said, why can't you advocate for criminal justice reform and police reform while also condemning violence? as tomi pointed out, to which he responded here, why can't you condemn violent police and acknowledge looting as a vital form of social protest? the prison he was responding to their was shawn hoch would, another convicted felon who served 12 years in prison, won his own supreme court brief

during that time, is now a law school professor and one of the most crucial voices in the criminal justice reform movement. he was the person in the room off an end undivided, kim kardashian, basically authored much of the first act. i bring all this up to question, what message does this send by this higher? >> will: when you put those two next to each other and you compare both those guys reforming their lives and contribute into the political conversation and policy changes, what it highlights to me is what the issue is not. the issue is not about your criminal past. i think many of us believe in second chances, reformation and bringing people back into society. that's not necessarily a liberal or conservative value so i welcome this gentleman back into the conversation. i criticize it in turn, his contribution to the conversation. as tomi pointed out, it is sheer
9:32 am
insanity. what he's saying, that cops are white supremacist, i like this one point that was just made, not all cops are white, many of the cops at the capitol that day were people of color as they are across police department across this country. to call all cops and the institution of law enforcement white supremacist is insanity and to suggest that looting is a form of social protest is insanity. the only real question is, is this insanity going to be mainstream in the democratic party? if you hired to be a fund-raiser at suggest those are views that you are co-opting as part of the mainstream democratic policy. there's always going to be crazy people, do you have to bring them into your tent and put them into positions of leadership? >> emily: leslie, same question to you, if he destroys people like sean hawke went on twitter, what is he going to do when he is expected to collaborate and actually achieve something in his position now? >> leslie: first of all, his position is very different and i don't think we can compare him

speaking at a congressional hearing on the notorious hollywood blacklist of a late 1940s and 1950s. now critics say blacklisting is happening all over again and it's targeting conservatives. the latest example is actress gina carano who was fired from disney's "the mandalorian" after she shared a controversial social media post. "the black list eventually became especially in hollywood, and yet it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish the blacklist policy from the emerging current treatment of right-wingers." tomi? >> tomi: i think cancel culture is the dumbest thing we can possibly do as a nation, i don't believe in it and it's absolutely ridiculous rate i would like to see hollywood and disney and other obviously huge

studios and production companies take pedophilia as seriously as they take anybody who is conservative. those people manage to escape being canceled or they are just suspended and reemerge gray but again, i live in nashville, tennessee, have a lot of friends in hollywood as well. there are so many conservatives in hollywood, there are so many conservatives in sports, there are so many conservatives and music. enough with this cancel culture and i would call on those conservatives to rise up and say, no, you can't cancel all of us, maybe let's unite and have a strong voice and say, hey, if you realize how many of us there are, maybe this will come to an end. but it's going to take those individuals who are strong and have that strength of character and are bold and brave to do it. i'd like to see it. >> harris: i am going to give will a chance before we go. >> will: i am just going to say that tomi is exactly right.

there are conservatives behind the scenes in almost every industry of the entertainment complex but they are quiet because they are scared because they will lose their job like gina carano if they are outed for being vocally strong conservative, it's a fact. that's why, gina carano, by the way, was fired. it's not because her post was anti-semitic. we can look at numerous, she made a hyperbolic analogy, and over-heated analogy but it wasn't anti-semitic and we can look throughout this show today on "outnumbered" to point to other examples where people on the left have made comparisons to nazi germany including comparing police officers to nazis. people we have talked about in the last 30 minutes have done that. where they cancel, did they lose their jobs? no because they are not conservative. it's a backhanded way to get to you when you are conservative in an industry that does not welcome conservatives. >> harris: all right, we are going to move. hollywood is getting called out for something else now. member the celebrities who were
