this person, who is up for secretary of the department of health and human services, he is going to be the next big fight for this white house. >> thank you very much. thank you, everybody, for watching. "outnumbered" starts right now. ♪ ♪ we begin with this fox news alert. new warnings about an unprecedented surge at our southern border. axios has reported a number of unaccounted grinch children and teenagers crossing into america this year. it's now on pace to shatter an all-time record, projected to rise to 117,000 migrants from 33,000 of them last year. the report cites unreleased dhs data, and warns there are not enough resources at this point to handle all this. fox news learned more than 100 illegal immigrants were released by border control in texas have tested positive for covid-19.

the white house says it is refusing to call it a crisis when pressed by our own kristin fisher. watch. >> at what point does it become a crisis? >> i don't think we need it to meet your bar. we have a secretary of homeland security yesterday conveying this challenge. >> comments came after president biden so there's no cause for alarm about the situation. i hope that's true for all of us. you are watching "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner. today, my cohost, emily compagno, host of "no interruption," tomi lahren. and, in the center seat, dave irvin. welcome. governor martinez, i'm going to come to you first for a topline on this.

>> anyone with any common sense would call this a crisis. we anticipate 45% more unaccompanied children. these children are going to be placed in the same systems that existed under president obama and president trump. think what biden's quote was was that they should do okay, should be able to handle the challenge, god willing. that's not a plan. unfortunately, what's happening is the cartels are announcing in central america how these children can come through this very treacherous terrain, unaccompanied by any relative coming to the united states, and then being placed into neighborhoods throughout our country. we don't know much about the children. we don't know if they have covid, what health concerns they have.

it is so irresponsible for unaccompanied children to be crossing that border, across all that terrain. it is so sad. it's not humane for us to be inviting them to the u.s. >> harris: we don't know what has happened yet along "no journey was quotes that has scarred to them. i have a more political question to ask you, dave. why is it that when democrats are pressed on something, and they passively say "thoughts and prayers," but when republicans do that, they get beaten up. president biden said "god willing, i hope so," end of the governor points out, hope is wonderful but it is not a strategy. >> harris, are you telling me the media has a double standard when it comes to dealing with

republicans versus dealing with democrats? i'm shocked! [laughter] the governor made a couple of good points. we should just do the disclaimer stuff, which is that america is a nation of immigrants. everyone on this panel is willing to welcome more immigrants here, but we have so many problems right now between a pandemic, between what's going on with the economy and the general tanner of the country, and an irresponsible media, which want to treat this the same way they would've treated it four months ago. maybe we need to think about this stuff honestly, and secretary sake is not going to give us an answer, and i'm not sure president biden is sure what he is going to say. >> harris: are cast on a previous show said something that hit home. he was talking about positive cases of covid. they are now doing what is in

their best interest for their businesses in texas, and opening up. the timing is really precarious. >> tomi: that's exactly right. we talked about the 100 immigrants tested positive for covid that were released into texas earlier. we are playing with fire. the biden administration's worst nightmare right now our optics and scale. here's what i mean by that. every agency in the united states has 72 hours to relocate unaccompanied minor immigrant to the office of refugee resettlement. that's why we talk about these temporary facilities under this purview of the border, but they are temporary, up to 72 hours. we know they were constructed largely for adult, single males. for refugee resettlement, that has a finite amount. they oversee over 176 facilities in 22 states. because of covid, those beds have been reduced to 8,000.

that's why their capacity is over 90%. the worst thing for the biden administration would be absurd to comes over, overcrowding these temporary facility's, and have those images flooding united states. -- >> emily: this demonstration, during the campaign, have long maintained that the number one priority is mitigating covid. i don't understand why they are not viewing this situation of the border as a crisis, because it is. >> harris: i'm going to segue to tomi, and let that be your question. >> tomi: [laughs] going back to covid, democrats don't mind super-spreader's so long as they fit their agenda and are illegal immigrants. we have to go back to the people that are coming over here. zero-tolerance works. i've seen it work firsthand. border patrol agents say it

works, and an outcome of these unaccompanied minors are coming over to the country, and what you referenced earlier, these coyotes are telling parents of these children but it's a short walk, a couple miles, go over that hill and you will be there. they want the money. they don't care about these kids kids, these families. the height of the migrant crisis a couple years ago, they would say these kids would be sent over, a lot of young girls would be sent over routine-14-15 years old. their parents would send them unaccompanied with plan b because they knew they were going to be assaulted. they took that and understood it. that was coming from border patrol agents the talked to these children. when democrats talk about compassion and these people, they are ignoring the human trafficking and sex trafficking, the danger of this journey. why are they coming, and why are the democrats okay with them coming? they know they can get stimulus checks. they cannot get health care, and

they can be taken care of. they know that they will be reunited with someone in the united states, or will have the opportunity for chain migration, and will bring their family members over so they can be united. that is their motivation. why do democrats want them over here? i'll tell you. they want to extend the voting rights to illegal immigrants, and this is a way to shore up their voting block for generations to come. this is a strategy. it's not a crisis, because it is an opportunity. watch it happen. >> harris: i want to finish with you on this topic, governor. why is it the democrats look at this situation, given all that tomi has said. i know it's more of a split, but bicameral majority, at least temporarily for democrats, why can't they solve this problem on their own? why can't they do immigration reform? they've seen this journey before

under former president barack obama, and he still ended up signing an emergency authorization -- no, excuse me, an executive order on immigration. they had bicameral majority. the democrats don't want to solve this problem, do they? >> no. this is what divides americans pictures if this is one of those topics that will not be solved with comprehensive reform and immigration. it divides americans. that's what they want; they want that issue for every upcoming national, state election so they can talk about how compassionate they are, and how republicans are not. this is not human, what's happening. these children dying in the desert. it's not something that we think is happening; it is happening. they can't make the trip and make up with the rest of the crowd. >> harris: some shocking new allegations, as if what we just talked about wasn't shocking,

about the treatment of our national guard troops brought in to protect our nation's u.s. capital. we aren't just talking about them sleeping on the floor. it's something much worse. plus, shocking new study on the devastating toll the school shutdowns are taking on our children. with mental health issues skyrocketing, particularly in age groups like 12-16. these are younger kids, pushing some students over the edge. >> this is not the type of thing that happens to successful kids that have so much going in their life. the reality of it is, it can happen to your kid. to be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means... grabbing a hold of what matters. asking for what we want. and need. and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali

>> tomi: president biden now says the u.s. will not have enough vaccines for every adult by the end of may, adding that he wants all teachers to get at least one shot by the end of this month. this comes as we learn about the devastating toll the pandemic has taken on kids because of school shutdowns. a report that finds thousands of marginalized students are missing from the virtual learning system. -- >> emily: the demand for teen mental health care has skyrocketed, with cases of intentional self harm in spiking by more than 330% in august 2020 compared to the previous year. from april 2019-2020, overdoses jumped nearly 120%. anxiety one went up 94%, depression increased 84%. one father lost his son to suicide during the pandemic shared his story on fox in springtime. >> i had no idea he was in any kind of crisis or battling depression. i know skeptics might say that you missed something, or you

weren't paying attention. part of my message is that this can happen to anyone. i think it was a great dad, and i know dylan had the best mom anybody could have. we love him, and we knew we love him,and he knew that. he had a warm home, a bed to sleep on at night, plenty of food, and yet he hid this from us. >> emily: this is heartbreaking. >> dave: there aren't words to describe that. by the way, it's not just children who are suffering; it's adults, too. country, we are forced to forget what happened a month ago, or what people told us to go months ago. i'm old enough to remember all the way back to a year ago this month, march 2020, when we were told to go weeks to flatten the curve, then they told us not to wear a mask, than to wear a mask, then they said one mask,

them two masks. the constant ever shifting movement, the idea that now even bite and this morning saying "maybe next year, we will get back to normal," it's showing young people, is there a future out there, a way i can get out of my bedroom and go to school, play sports go to the movies all of those things that the rest of us take for granted because we had somewhat normal childhoods. this is affecting people at basically every level. we know alcoholism is on the rise, depression is on the rise. i did a meet up for my community last night at a bar here in l.a. there were people with tears in their eyes because they were seeing other people again. this is a societal thing if we don't start opening up and owning people make choices for themselves, it's going to get worse. >> emily: harris, dave just mentioned the future. i can't imagine a future in which those types of statistics

are somehow acceptable, in which we are abandoning our children in that manner, to have those kinds of percentage increases with such harm being done for kids. >> harris: that depends on how we deal with the present. the future is dictated by right now. what are we going to do to change that? 334% spike in self harm. we are talking about children who cut themselves, who like themselves on fire with hand lighters, and worse. we are talking about harming just short of taking one's life. a spike, 334% thought we were going to follow the signs. science. what we do next turn that around to respect that science. that's hard data, and we cannot ignore that.

those children need help. dave pointed to something that's very important. it starts with the adults. some of them aren't coping well. some of these homes, and that father notwithstanding, he said "we created everything we could," but not every home is like that. some of these struggling adults are creating very toxic domestic situations, because they too are suffering mental health issues. we've got a lot of work to do. covid has shown us that. it didn't start it. being locked inside for so long has made it worse. >> emily: governor, harris talks about the work we need to do. this is an emergency. this is the crisis. with your perspective as governor, what message do you have to other governors and/or the president about the strategy that needs to be deployed right now to turn cases room?

>> susana: open our schools now in full time. it is the safest place. children do not get covid as easily as any other adult. we can have our kids safe in school five days a week, and we need to do it now. this administration knows the unintended consequences that are severe, depression, suicide, overdose, domestic violence, unreported child abuse, and they choose to ignore. instead, they are following the union bosses and are afraid of the union bosses who keep moving the ball. first, they said they want to be vaccinated, then they won every single school and every building where children will be to be in a condition that is safe and healthy. they are going to move the ball. it's going to continue to creep until they have billions of dollars into the future

2024-2025. that has nothing to do with our kids today. they need to start focusing on what kind of children and adults are going to be returning to work and school. then he is davan dyer. many states have done it. how many have we lost? thousands, possibly millions that aren't even doing virtual learning. they live in these homes, 900-1200 square feet, they have to have three kids, different age groups, virtually learning. may be a parent having to work, may be a single parent. how do you live that way in seclusion and peace. rustic how do you live in seclusion and not get affected by these drastic changes? it's irresponsible for them to ignore it. >> emily: my heart goes out to those families.

we are hearing from governor cuomo within the hour, amid sexual harassment allegations against him. we are told he will be giving an update on covid and will be making a statement. the governor has not spoken since february 19th. we will bring it to you as soon as it begins. we smack to handle whatever monday has in store and tackle four things at once. so when her car got hit, she didn't worry. she simply filed a claim on her usaa app and said... i got this. usaa insurance is made the way kate needs it - easy. she can even pick her payment plan so it's easy on her budget and her life. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa.

>> harris: more details now, expecting to hear from governor andrew cuomo within the hour amid sexual harassment allegations, and the nursing home covid-19 death scandal against him. he is expected to give an update on covid. we are told he would be making a statement. this comes as a members the governor's own party seemed to be turning up the pressure with those growing scandals. 6 democratic state lawmakers four in the assembly, two in the state senator calling for his impeachment. we are getting the word he be forced to testify in the

investigation into those harassment claims against him. the governor wants a picture the governor has not been seen publicly on camera since the middle of last month. the state legislature just struck a deal to display governor cuomo's authority, emergency powers, to order actions like lockdowns the pandemic. >> this is something we need to do, but it's about much more than emergency powers. it's about restoring the balance of power to state legislatures. this is a governor that has a pattern of abuse of power. it's clear that it's going to continue. for the state to move forward, i think he should resign and let us get back to the important work you have to do in this legislative session. speak of the former governor of mexico is with us. but does governor cuomo need to say in his statement today

>> i can't imagine anybody would hear a covid briefing and believe he had any credibility whatsoever. he has lost all credibility. he needs to step down for the sake of the people so that we can move on in tackling this pandemic. she needs to allow people to decide how the lockdowns will be taken. he does abuse his emergency powers. he has done so for a long time. all that has happened is destroying the state of new york. it's a wonderful place used to love to go to. i'm not sure that can be something i can do anytime soon. he needs to resign. don't make an impeachment process out of this and shift the focus from the pandemic, reviving our economy, getting our kids back to school. >> harris: do you think he will do that? >> dave: probably not, but the pressure is building.

i said in the last segment that we partly forget what happened a few months ago. we forget what they tell us about covid a year ago, and then move forward. i'm also old enough to remember 2-3 years ago when we were told to believe all women, talking about the me too movement. those are the rules they set up. he is being sort of destroyed by the progressives and the left rules related to all those things. on covid, i'm here in california where we still have these draconian lockdowns. you can't go to the gym, can't go to indoor dining. the governor's right cuomo has destroyed new york. people are flaying it to the red states. there is nobody fleeing from florida and texas, and going to the safe haven of new york or california. it's only going one way. we know that. there is a reason for that. they decided to destroy people's lives, destroy people's businesses, destroy the basic

ability to make a living for yourself and your family. they did it with no science behind it. he has gone so deep on this actually watching the legislature saying "you have too much power, we have to do our job," it is miraculous. that might be what will save us, either by stepping down, being impeached. we got to give the power back to the people, not just this top-down way of looking at the world. >> harris: i want to know why they thought he should've had it in the first place. it took the attorney general of new york to tell us how bad the numbers work, and the potential cover-up of the deaths because of the decisions governor made to put covid positives with the weakest among us physically, the elderly in nursing homes. why did it take this and then i sex scandal for him to not have as much power? speaking of the scandal, governor cuomo bashed the trump

administration on women and sexual assault allegations back in 2016. >> governor cuomo: there is a disrespect for women that this administration chronically exemplifies, to cheapen or ridicule the pain a woman suffers from a attack. it's disgusting. sexist and disgusting. >> harris: is like a tweet; never really goes away. >> tomi: those in glass houses shall not throw stones. listening to my governor from my home state talking about cuomo being the gold standard, and how we can learn something from them, and that's what the state

of south dakota was told over and over, and again with him saying we should believe all women, and how horrific it is for women to go through these attacks. those in glass houses shall not throw stones. going back to something dave said it, we are putting too much power in the hands of governors, too much power in the hands of executives as well. in california, they have a recall option. we talked about this so many times. when you talk about these governors and mayors, even a president who is also is a big to fail, we have to have that discussion about states that don't have a recall option. it's great when the democrats and stateislature come out. i'm happy they are doing that, but the people needed to have a voice. i hope new yorkers are looking at the great state, and how it is been destroyed like california and saying "why don't we have that recall option?" they make sure they stripped cuomo of emergency powers, and have that mechanism in place

going forward. he might be one bad governor, but they're probably going to have another bad democrat governor, and they needed to have the opportunity to remove someone from power for the hands of the people, not just democrats of the state legislature level. >> emily: i wanted to give more insight into the investigation being run by the attorney general of new york. here's a few interesting aspects about it. she has broad subpoena power. she can compel witness testimony, including the governor, as well as documents and the like. i see that happening more at the end of the investigation, when they have amassed the data and evidence they need it will be run by a law firm. this helps preserve independence. the governor himself needs to receive a report on the investigation every week, and also, he has to countersign every check that goes to fund

this investigation, pursuant to state law. people say she will likely be a primary contender against the current governor cuomo in the primary in 2022. stay tuned for that. >> harris: adding some spice to the facts there. we are going to take that andrew cuomo news conference whenever it starts. technically, he is going to talk about covid-19, and then make a statement. not sure how there would be a back-and-forth based on the news release i've just received here. it might even be virtual. just ahead as we celebrate national anthem to, a fierce debate in one state over their local officials have the right to regulate flying a flag, particularly the american flag, particularly the size that goes over the casket when you lose a loved one or veteran. they don't want you to be able to fly one big.

flags. it lowers the height of flagpoles to 25 feet, limits the number of flags you can fly at your home to two, including national, state, military, or college flex. the fairfax county chair tells us that "free speech extends to all signs and flags. our next cannot categorize flags based on content. in almost every other locality, some type of ordinance exists to prevent residents from flying any flag day wanted from a flagpole of any height on their property. the proposed ordinance aims to allows to allow residents to fly flags proudly with reasonable guidelines, while protecting everyone's first amendment rights. a decorated army veteran tells me it is a bad idea." speak of this is a free speech issue. >> this is a free speech issue. there a lot of veterans. i'm personally offended by what they are trying to do here.

>> if approved by the county planning commission, it would go on to the board of supervisors for final approval next week. >> emily: thank you. tomi, let's get your perspective on this. >> tomi: i think you will know how i feel about the american flag and many other flags. it is a free speech issue. i will remind you what happened 1-2 years ago. chris manon, that company got in trouble for flying flag that was too large. this person said to keep flying a flag that was too big, and let's make it bigger. people are happy that he stood up and said "i'm going to fly as big of a flag as i want to." if an ordinance like this passes, a lot of patriots are going to say "i'm not going to comply. our rights have been under assault for over a year. i'm going to fly my flag, fly proudly."

this is ludicrous that this is a discussion we are happening right now. it's a big issue and i hope people take it to the county and say they are not going to comply. >> emily: dave. >> dave: to tomi is right. the idea that you would be passing ordinances to determine the height or size of a flag is against with the flag stands for in the first place. do they not understand the metaphor here? fly whatever flag you want. this is more nonsense related to overcontrolling of everyone's lives, how everyone can express themselves. we need less government, not more government. that's what that flag stands for. >> emily: governor, in his county in virginia, the single largest cause of our natural deaths is from opioids. wouldn't you say the county officials have better things to occupy their time then passing and proposing these kinds of ordinances?

>> susana: absolutely. this is what the american people are sick of, politicians instead of leaders. getting your kids in school, making sure we get shots in arms, making sure they were taking care of people in cities, taking names off of schools, having school board meetings, talking about how we open our schools today, talking about the size of a flag, how high you can fly it. saying we cannot fly one unless it's of a particular height, do they not have anything else to do? are they trying to stand around and look at things -- we have a pandemic. we have kids killing themselves. we have to take care of our people. this is ridiculous! politicians have got to go away and be replaced by leaders in this country. >> emily: harris, your thoughts. >> dave: amen. >> harris: i think everybody knows that on christmas day 2020, my father passed away, a

combat pilot in the military, two tours in vietnam. we held a very covid restrictive, small gathering. think bigger than life there was the casket. covered by a very large american flag. in fairfax county, virginia, they don't want the size that is actually on a casket of someone who served in this country and has passed away. it is a moment that i knew my ever come, but when you hold it and do you feel how happy that flag is, how dare they tell any of us how big it can be and where we can fly it. that kind of service is not what i'm seeing. does this board have better things to do? i have to try to do a job that

first paragraph. "you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself any direction you choose. you are on your own and know what you know, and you are the guy who will decide where to go. that is the most dangerous message for the left and for progressives, and for people of government. everyone watching this is in charge of their own destiny. if you want to get rid of dr. seuss books, start with this one. this is the one that hands you your life. that's what they fear most. >> emily: governor, your thoughts. >> susana: i promise you that at universal park -- their lines are going to be long, their lines are going to be successful. they don't have to react to every little sensitivity someone may have and try to cancel them. they know they are going to continue to have people in the long lines of enjoying their facilities.
