i appreciate that. >> julie: she also makes me feel like a much better dancer. >> you've got to get on tiktok, julie. >> julie: you keep saying that. i love you so much. watch her on monday, 11:00 p.m. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus," i am >> emily: fox news alert. the push to defund the police appears to be backfiring, with new safety concerns for america. the fox news analysis shows a spike in crime in cities that cut their police budgets after summer of violent police overhauls. now, crime in portland is up 271% and up 40% in minneapolis. shootings are up 40% in new york city. you are watching "outnumbered." i'm emily compagno. here today, gillian turner. from fox news headlines 24/7,
9:01 am
carley shimkus, and host of "lara logan has no agenda," lara logan. former wisconsin congressman, fox news contributor, sean duffy. good morning and welcome to you all. sean duffy, a former congressman, i am interested in your perspective because you really have the full national top-down viewpoint. share with us your thoughts on what is going on. >> sean: first off, it is the role of the government to keep their citizens they fear that is one of the primary goals. this is very simple, right? you get more violence, more criminals. more guns. more victims. so, what is happening in portland in minneapolis, that is an easy correlation. less police means more crime, and one of the problems we have is and just police officers. it is that we have really bad prosecutors right now, so prosecutors across the country who have been funded by people like george soros and others on
9:02 am
prosecuting crimes, so you can have investigators prosecute the crimes, these defendants get off. they go back on the street. one other point i would like to make it as we see a surge of people coming to our southern border. aoc will say that they are economic -- they are climate refugees. they are also coming for safety and security. you see that in these central american countries, that there is no security unless you are really rich. if you have money, you can buy the security, but if you are poor, you are subject to gangs. that is what is happening in america too. like nancy pelosi, with her guards and her gates, you are safe, but if you are an average citizen, you are subject to the violence on the streets. really my last point is that i don't feel bad for minneapolis or portland or new york city. they voted for this craziness. now they have to live with the consequences. >> emily: often times, there
9:03 am
are choices in that buffet, sort of who is the best of the worst. i have to say that the candidates, for example, in this last mayoral election of portland, it was essentially who is the least a socialist of them all? unfortunately, i think a lot of the options presented for these voters really aren't palatable, at least from where i am sitting. sean, i want to ask you a follow-up question. we have, for example, one of the oregon senators, he is one of the ones i was pushing for the infrastructure bill, payments to every single american, universal basic income, and he is ignoring his major city that is burning to the ground, and his constituents that are pleading for his help there to quell the violence, so your thoughts on these national leaders letter ignoring their local problems? >> sean: the role of the government is not to provide universal basic incomes. the role of the government is to provide security and safety, so that comes through our law enforcement officers. that comes through our military.
9:04 am
to keep americans safe. and so, again, the liberals have lost their way. they think they are social just as warriors, and they have lost the calling of the true role of the government. >> emily: lara, i would like to compare and contrast two cities for you briefly. in portland, when the mayor requested a one-time $2 million appropriations to boost the police budget, he said to address the gun violence there, he called it politically controversial, and b, every single member of the city council refused to vote. they said that they didn't want this $2 million to help with this. again, constituents are crying for some help to boost the police budget, and in contrast, l.a. county just voted to boost their budget by $36 million. a far short of the $150 million they/last summer, but responding to the constituents, so the comparing and contrasting of how these cities are handling these surges and violence differently.
9:05 am
>> lara: well, as a journalist, i try to go to the root of something in order to understand it, and what you find out the root of the comparison that you just made his ideology, and this is the thing that i feel, that we don't do enough. as journalist claire alas, americans, people who can make up their own minds. we don't do enough to try to identify what is really the ideology that is driving it? they have gone so far into the radical space that they can't really even bring themselves back, but most importantly, the people on the city council don't want to. that doesn't mean that every prisoner portland agrees with that or feel that way. they just don't have any choice right now because, you know what? what you just talked about there with george soros, that has been happening at many different levels. the ford foundation, the aclu. people on the left have been
9:06 am
extremely active in local politics. city councils, sheriff's races, district attorneys. it doesn't matter who, so even in areas where i live, right? in texas, you would think okay, texas is a red state. actually, there are very red areas of taxes that have democratic leadership. because of this. and what you are seeing in l.a., they haven't gotten there yet, right? california has been written off as this welfare state by the rest of the country, but actually, there were many people in california who are not on board with this, and what you are seeing play out at local levels and city to city is exactly the conflict within the democratic party right now and was in america. i always tell people this isn't really a left/right issue. it presents itself as that way right now, but in the end, what is the ideology that these people are fighting for? there will be no left. there will be no right. there will only be the super, super wealthy at the top that use technology and social services as their police force an end there will be the rest of
9:07 am
us. i am including myself in that. they will be those at the bottom of the pile who don't have any air travel if you're not zero missions. the green new deal. all of these policies and everything else. there will be no jobs. universal basic income. they will shove it down our throat somehow, and that is all of us. left and right. >> emily: carley, you are in one of the cities of manhattan where budgets have been slashed, and a crime has. >> carley: there is a huge trend in the country right now, and it is a big problem. that is calling people and organizations racist when they are not because if you call something racist, you have to eliminate it. all pulleys, minority police officers included, were viewed as racist and hateful during the protests and riots that took place last summer. and that gave liberals and city
9:08 am
councils the power to eliminate them, but that was built on a life, and it has deadly consequences. it is mind-blowing lee obvious if you can't cut police, that impacts minority and low income neighborhoods the most. they do not support defunding the police. a "usa today" poll that came out that showed only 28% of black american support defunding the police. it is simple cause and effect. you remove a billion dollars from the new york city police department. crime is going to spike. you see it right there. new york city shootings of 40%. just happened in new york city, and things are going to get even worse. >> emily: gillian, there is also a lot of nuance baked into the spirit it is not just about shoving people dashboard to sean's point, all those consequences, but in this $2 million left out by community
9:09 am
groups to the mayor of portland, it included money for an independent oversight committee of the police force. now, isn't that what all of the protests were for? it was more meaningful, thoughtful reform that reflected community values. now, apparently this is what the budget is supposed to go to, and yet they are still voting against it. >> gillian: it's interesting. i haven't thought about it quite that way, but i think you're onto something there, with portland client in particular. a great microcosm of this entire conversation, the crux of the problem in portland is that the city completely disbanded their gun violence reduction squad about a year ago in response or in the wake of the massive protest following the killing of george floyd in minnesota, so the gun violence reduction squad is now completely deactivated here this week, ted wheeler, the mayor in that city, and out so they have now seen a spike -- guess what? gun violence. so what he is doing is going back to the city council and saying we are not asking you to
9:10 am
fund the police again. we are just asking for a one-off, one-time payment of $2 million so that we can help fix this problem. as you know, emily, running a city budget and state budget, once the money is apportioned and sent out the door, there aren't reserves, so now there's not going to be the $2 million he wants to help protect minority communities. it is a tragic kind of hamster wheel of problems. >> emily: that's exactly right. great conversation, guys peered up next, why ceos of some major corporations are being called hypocrites after slamming george's new voting laws. stay with us. ♪ ♪

for kids like us, and all the amazing things we're gonna learn. over the next 10 years, comcast is committing $1 billion to reach 50 million low-income americans with the tools and resources they need to be ready for anything. i hope you're ready. 'cause we are. >> the work corporate hypocrites, they make billions
9:15 am
of dollars working in countries that has no respect for anyone or anything. but in america, they are prepared to boycott and condemn publicly to prove how awoken they are. >> emily: that a senator marco rubio calling out ceos of companies like coca-cola for condemning george's new voting laws, but continuing to do business with china and saying nothing bad about that country with egregious human rights abuses. companies like amazon, southwest airlines, at&t speaking out about a bill that limits the republican led senate and not state. all right, so, emily, what we are seeing now is compounding the problem of controversy and discord surrounding voting reform bills. having ceos of major american conglomerates like ad bastion of delta, inserting themselves into the fight.
9:16 am
do you see here maybe from a legal perspective, why delta air lines would have a bone to fight -- a bone to pick in this fight? >> emily: frankly, from my perspective, it seems truly just on the social side. they are waging a p.r. campaign. they are not actually protesting this in the legal way, and i think that the most salient point here, the hypocrisy, taking it back there, remember, these guys, apple and coca-cola specifically, they lobbied at the time to water down legislation that would have presented american company is from -- forced labor in china, so there have been plenty of opportunities for them to take that stand illegally. certainly they took the opposite role. and the hypocrisy again is so glaring. things like delta, the most chinese friendly airline it says on the website, leading the way on chinese growth. while they are silent on the human rights. continuing to make financial gains there.
9:17 am
this is one of those examples where if you're going to speak up about something, you have to be prepared to be consistent. this is such a deafening silence in the china round, compared with the soapbox they are standing on here in georgia, which i know is you will point out later, such a farce to begin with. >> gillian: sean, part of the reasons why democrats are calling foul on georgia, was circulated in the state legislature there, and original draft of this bill that we now know has been rewritten about 24 plus times, so a lot of the objectionable material was edited out long before the bill passed. people haven't gone back and actually read the read, so they are objecting to this bill and a big whale across corporate america, based on false premises. >> sean: yet, no doubt, but can i say how great it was to see marco rubio not in a suit and tie and in a ball cap. you really see him like that. you are right. by the way, delta actually reviewed this bill, and they
9:18 am
were for the bill before they were against it. as an american and as a former politician, i do think that more of us, if we are going to have early voting, it should be in person. it should be closer to election day because we all want to vote with the same information. when some people are voting in september, and the hunter biden laptop comes out in october, we are not voting with the same information. we should make it an american holiday. let's all that on the same day. the only way you should have mail and balance if you are overseas or if you are a shut in. we actually have lawful legal voters casting one lawful vote. one last point about these companies, they are speaking out on bills like this because they know that if they don't, the left will cancel them, but the right never cancels companies that cancel them. >> gillian: interesting. for the sake of looking at the specifics here, let's pull this up so our viewers can see what
9:19 am
this new georgia law actually does. so first off, it extends deadline for requesting absentee ballots. new rules for i.d. requirements, absentee ballots. it strengthens rules about ballot drop-off boxes, and it expands early voting access in most counties early. it is very hard to say that this bill is in any way a monolith. it clearly includes voting expansion access as well as some restrictions, so to say it it is all racist or it is all jim crow era, really kind of misses the ball. >> carley: this goes along with what i was saying in the previous blog about calling something reasons, and, and all of a sudden, it is. the crowd say that this georgia law is racist, and then like clockwork, the twitter people start tweeting at companies, saying we are going to boycott you if you don't release a statement, and then ceos go -- they literally probably don't care. and they say okay, how do we make this go away?
9:20 am
so, what do they do? every single time, they release a statement. the ceo of delta last week admitted that the law expanded weekend voting, codified sunday voting, protected the voters ability to cast an absentee ballot without providing a reason. and then a week later, he says oh, i'm so sorry. now i have had a chance to read the bill, the law, and i all of a sudden magically think it is racist. no, it is because he was pressured to say something to save his company from social media pressure that would probably just go away, and one last thing -- >> lara: can i just say something? >> emily: go ahead. >> lara: why is legislation being reviewed by the ceo of any company? i mean, what comes to mind for me, what davy crockett said. i think he said it yet. you all can go to hell, and i
9:21 am
will go to texas. i am speaking on behalf of millions of people in this country who want to say to the weak moral cowards who are leading these companies were so worried about the mob and cancel culture and everybody else, it's enough already. time to stop. we all know what real racism is and what real racism looks like, and you are not fooling anybody. it's dishonest. it is fundamentally morally depraved. and it is also tyrannical. that is what we are really looking at here. this is a form of tyranny. in the real question is why don't you want more secure voting laws? what's wrong with that? because no one here is trying to talk about how we can make the bill better, what we can really do that addresses concerns. no. what they are talking about is how to silence and intimidate and oppress every single person who doesn't agree with them, so you know what i'm going to do? i'm going to fly southwest. that is what i'm going to do.
9:22 am
>> gillian: all right, lara, we had to leave it there. stay with us because now estimating a record number of unaccompanied migrant children at our border. this year, it might hit over 100,000. also, it aches demanding to know when vice president harris herself is going to travel to the u.s. southwest border. take a look at what is happening on the ground. stick with us. ♪ ♪ your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. thank you! hey, hey, no, no limu, no limu! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪ ♪ learning is hard work. hard work requires character. learning begins in faith. it must move upwards toward the highest thing, unseen at the beginning - god. and freedom is essential to learning. its principles must be studied and defended.

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 when taken with fulvestrant or a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is approved for both pre- and postmenopausal women, and has extended lives in multiple clinical trials. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant alone. kisqali can cause lung problems, or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness,
9:26 am
yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. kisqali is not approved for use with tamoxifen. it's our time. for more time. we asked for kisqali. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali. >> emily: some breaking news now. fox news has confirmed that border protection is projecting over 1 million migrants will arrive at the u.s. southwest border this year. an estimated 184,000 of those people will be unaccompanied children here now, u.s. border authorities reporting over 171,000 people at the border in march alone. also, disturbing news on the
9:27 am
video we showed yesterday. it is horrific. smugglers dropping two little girls, aged three and five over a 14-foot barrier in new mexico, and then leaving them there, stranded, alone. the closest homes, miles away. fox news has now obtained a photo of the two little girls with the border agent. she says the sisters are doing fine. also telling this to ""fox & friends"" first. now, despite that there is still no word yet on whether vice president harris plans to go to the border or hold a formal news conference, leading the effort to address the crisis three days ago. sean, i want to come to you first. specifically, let's drill down on this idea about the vice president has no plans to travel to the border imminently. she has not really address that. there is also criticism that a
9:28 am
lot of people feel that she should be holding a press conference and lou have that to take questions directly from reporters about this. you feel both lines of criticism here are legit? >> sean: they don't usually hold press conferences. usually, it is the present, however, tasked with addressing covid for the trump administration, they are regularly held press conferences where the media could ask questions and get updates and figure out what the strategy and plan was in regard to covid. in contrast, kamala harris hasn't held one press conference here doesn't have plans for a press conference. i read that she hasn't had any meetings on what's happening at the border. and again, no plans to go down to the border. and i think that would beg the question what is the administration's plan on how to address the crisis of the border? and the answer is there is no plan because the crisis on the border was the plan. they wanted people to be able to come up into this country.
9:29 am
they wanted undocumented or last to come to the border, and i think that is because they want more voters to flow into the country because you can change the mind of american voters. all you have to do is bring in new voters. and we know that whether it is two or five or ten, they are going to say there is a group of undocumented people. we need to make them citizens. this is the only country they have ever known. they need to participate. that is what is going to happen, and it is going to be millions of new people that come in, that by the way, haven't been vetted. we haven't looked at. they are just going to walk across the border, and i think it is a tragedy. >> gillian: emily, what do you say about that? essentially this argument that the biden administration is listening border restrictions, prompting a crisis in order to tap into the power of the new expanded latinx voting
9:30 am
population? >> emily: we have heard nothing to refute that from there end. it is -- kamala harris said that she would dismantle -- well, now, they are overflowing and have lamented the fact that as sean said, no plan coming from the federal government, and i also think it is telling that one president biden assigned to this -- this position to the vice president, he was talking about how he had done essentially the same thing almost eight years ago. headed out money to the northern triangle countries. doesn't that demonstrate the futility, then, especially of handling it from the white house? clearly you didn't work back then. it is not going to work now, and i don't understand the messaging. they haven't gone in front of this and said yes, i acknowledges, i will circle back in two weeks after i pick the brain of my colleagues with 47 years of experience in government, and decades of years of experience in this government that i can draw from. instead, the democratic party is now having the message be that
9:31 am
republicans are mischaracterizing the role, they say, and that we don't appreciate that he wants, so they are hiding the ball there, creating a new shiny object there, rather than demanding answers from this vice president who is in control. let's hear the plan. >> gillian: speaking of shiny objects, lara, i want to dig in with you for a second about something that is becoming important in the story that is not being covered enough, the degree to which children are bearing the brunt of this border crisis. particularly young girls who are being traffic, sold into slavery, sex slavery in mexico, have higher rates than ever before. i know this is an issue that you have tackled before. why do you think there is such a blind spot in the united states to this issue? human trafficking at large is an exponentially solvable problem in this country. there just seems to be no political will to deal with it.
9:32 am
>> lara: i have to say it is absolutely inexplicable that the people who claim the moral authority on everything under the sun are absolutely silent when it comes to the trafficking of children and the trafficking of women in the trafficking of men, by the way. don't leave out all the young boys. i asked a mexican investigator one night how old the children were that they found in the child porn industry, and he said usually around five years old. i set are they very violent with these children? he said not so much the girls, but yes, with the boys, they are very violent, and i said how old are these children normally? he said the boys are often around five years old. and what you are talking about, we were on their way back from a town in mexico that was built on a generation of sex trafficking that has a direct pipeline to new york city. right there into the big apple,
9:33 am
right? and there is in fact even to investigative unit that set up homeland security, that one of them is dedicated just to human trafficking from this particular town. so this is a very serious issue, and what we all know for sure, what nobody can't deny is that when the numbers of people coming over the border, and the numbers of unaccompanied minors, the number of children being traffic and being used for child porn and it's not snug videos, often killed, is going up, and what you always here, the counter argument, the only time you ever hear actavis arguing against the fact that sexual violence is an underreported crime is when you talk about the border. then they say oh, those numbers are inflated, and we just don't know for sure. i can't tell you that border patrol agents have rescued women who were being raped. one who was even eight months pregnant. who had been raped multiple
9:34 am
times along the way. they work with people who have been raped multiple times by the time they leave mexico, by the time they even get to the u.s. border, so it is a very, very significant issue if you're not only that, the bathtub biden administration, one thing that the previous administration, they have failed to address border security, but none of them have failed to this point. the biden administration so much pressure on border patrol to get these people through, that they are not being interviewed. they are not being properly checked. most of them, border patrol has absolutely no idea if they are who they say they are. there is no dna testing to know if these people belong to the people who say they are their children. we have now idea how many families there are. we are not talking about people from iran, yemen, china, from all of these countries with state-sponsored terrorism coming over the border.
9:35 am
it doesn't take an army of 5,000, you know, people to carry out a terrorist attack. it doesn't take an army to subvert your state policy and to hack into your institution and you undermine the integrity of your country. and also -- >> gillian: i'm sorry to interrupt. just hold it there. i've got to make sure we get in carley. carley -- >> lara's point about president biden and in particular, he drew a really firm line in the sand. he said guess what? i don't care who they are. i ain't leaving underage kids stranded on the mexican side of the border. it's not the right thing to do. i don't care if president trump did it. i'm not doing it. what do you say about that? >> carley: well, speaking of the press conference, i thought one of the best questions that was asked to president biden was -- she's said if you want to address the root cause of this issue, that takes a long time,
9:36 am
so what are you going to do in the meantime? he gave a philosophical answer about the journey of 1,000 miles, takes the first step. so the question still remains very much unknown, and in the meantime, i'm still having a lot of trouble digesting what lara just said. that that is happening repeatedly. and as we have seen, the women who release the border patrol video. she painted a picture of how this all goes down. and she said that usually what happens is the cartel, the human traffickers go to those in their own country. they say hey, listen, we can take your kids and bring them to america, and they will have a better life, so it is the cartel that often times convincing them, for monetary purposes, so that leads me to believe that sometimes these moms and dads don't even know that their kids will be in as much danger as they are. >> gillian: we've got to leave
9:37 am
it there, carley. we've got to leave it there, but coming up next, we are going to talk about a hard-core gang unit nla. one of america's biggest anti-gang units in american cities. they are scrapping it because they say it is offensive to the community. we are going to bring you all the details and debate that policy, coming up next. ♪ ♪ mm.

>> gillian: welcome back. los angeles county's district attorney is disbanding the cities hard-core gang unit after 42 years because it is "offensive to the community." it comes as the l.a.p.d. reports a spike in gang-related violence and homicides. this is just the latest leftist reform. in his first three months in office, he has a limited cash bail the three strikes rule that can key part in gang members away for life. i would like to start with you on this.
9:42 am
the los angeles county sheriff branded this a "suicide pact." >> sean: gangs and communities are offensive, not the hard-core gang unit. let's be clear on that, but that doesn't mean you are going to have less gangs in your community or less gang violence. you are probably going to have more of it. so, i don't get this argument of offensiveness. i was a former prosecutor for ten years. i didn't have a gang violence in my community. however, it is important to note that these are really complex cases, and you want specialists prosecuting gang crimes because you need a certain expertise to do it. you get rid of that unit, you have less expertise. >> gillian: carley, to sean's point about the specialty needed, this is removing a tool. this is in helping the community in any way. this comes on the heels of these other decisions that the d.a. has made there, which removes that discretion.
9:43 am
things like judicial discretion, so that in these sorts of cases, someone can step in and say for this one, we are applying an enhancement or for this one, i am going to withhold bail. he is just eradicating the entire tool belt that will affect the community. >> carley: yeah, i feel like if you are in law enforcement, you have to disband the movement, the hard-core gang unit would be the last one that you would want to go. that one seems pretty critical. this is unbelievable. alex miller in illinois that has been talking about how there has been a huge spike in crime in los angeles, and he says this is just going to add gasoline to an already burning fire. you have gang members posting on social media while in police custody, still supporting his gang, and he is going to get a lighter sentence. you have criminals that are cheering in their jail cells to directives because they now know that they are going to get out
9:44 am
earlier, so he is trying to lead by some progressive policy and compassion. this is spitting in the face of the families and the victims who are affected these crimes. >> emily: gillian, it is not a silo to topic. we know that one of the highest currencies for gangs is narcotics. part and parcel with the narcotics unit. to our earlier conversation, this is not just an l.a. neighborhood issue. this has a wider implications. frankly nationally, but also feeding into these international issues that lead to the destruction of our society and drug addiction and the like, and we are removing those tools, preventing any way to deal with it. that specialized manner that actually had an effectiveness. >> gillian: why we are shining a spotlight on this today is precisely because of what you just laid out. because of the gangs in l.a.
9:45 am
over the last few decades have become some of the most powerful gang institutions in the nation. their tentacles spread wide across the u.s. even to the east coast. it is interesting to listen to o the prosecutor is with this hard-core gang unit because they said -- this is by the way, something we are talking about in the first block with regards to portland. this decision to cut these resources is actually going to hurt low income and minority communities in l.a. than most. the prosecutor say one of the biggest misconceptions about gangs is that they only commit gang violence. they only attack rival gangs. the vast majority of violent crime is perpetrated against civilians, so these are nest of aliens in these l.a. neighborhoods who are now going to have less protection. >> emily: such a great point. lara, the innocence here is what is so heartbreaking and prevalent. >> lara: well, yes, and what is being left out of the conversation is that the cartels

in mexico controlled more than 90% of the global trade and narcotics, and what is the main currency of every street gang in the world? it is narcotics. so these are really the subcontractors. when you open the border the way you have, you have not just empowered the cartel. you have empowered every gang in america. and one thing that is really important, that i do have to say, please stop talking about the overdose deaths in this country. there are literally tens of thousands of american mothers and fathers and children who have lost someone and their family to sentinel overdoses. they also are dying from fake adderall, fig xanax, sake opioids that are being supplied by the mexican cartel, gang members in l.a. and elsewhere, sending them out into the

"the new york post," michael goodwin is here. come join us on this good friday. john and i are live, top of the hour. >> gillian: whether he has the legal authority to cancel up to
9:52 am
$50,000 in student debt for millions of borrowers. he has asked the secretary of education to prepare a report on this. this is after he campaigned on canceling $10,000. some democrats are now pushing him to go further and just do it all through executive order. sean, i'm going to come to you first. what is the difference between doing this via executive order versus trying to get congress to pass some sort of legislation? >> sean: i think one will be legal. one won't be. i think it is pretty hard to cancel bonds by executive order. most americans are like i pay with my own schooling. why are we paying for everyone else's schooling as well? tuition is too high. remember that guy who ran in new york? he said the rent is too damn high. get that to calm down as to making taxpayers a for these really expensive schools.

>> gillian: interesting point. so, carley, do you agree with that? we can't afford college, we can't afford college, and by the way, when we graduated, no one is hiring us anyway. >> carley: this is very funny because remember when president biden told voters he was moderate? [laughs] even looking into $50,000 cancellation of student loan debt is not a moderate position. this would drive up the cost of college. this is the wealth transfer from blue-collar, lower income taxpayers to use some upper middle income folks who have graduate degrees and college degrees. it doesn't make sense, and i will always remember that dad who said i pay it off my daughters student loan debt. there are going to be a lot of angry parents and individuals out there. >> gillian: i remember that too. is there anything that can be
9:54 am
done to tamp down on the price of colleges and universities? or not really, it seems. >> emily: it goes into my larger point that if you expunge the cost, elsewhere in the supply chain, it is observed. it includes pensions, right? so i think the answer to that question, gillian, would be addressing the over obligations made by states with money that they don't have, and not only do they transfer that cost over to the students, but now apparently we are going to wipe it away via executive action. i mean, at some point, those over obligations are going to fail, and i'm not sure what that looks like, but it is going to be pretty hideous. a reminder as well that this administration just this week, they paused at student loan payments for more than 1 million students who defaulted on their loans that they got from the federal government, so they are certainly taking steps to

mitigate the effects of the lock down and then being out of school. but certainly not to the point where it is going to destroy the whole system. i hope that they intervene at some point with the system. >> emily: use got 20 seconds to wrap up on this. >> lara: college is has been raising their fees outrageously because student loans are guaranteed by the federal government. the federal government needs to stop guaranteeing the loans. colleges need to bring their feet and nine. there is nothing more insulting to workers across america then having them pay the fees of institutions who regard them as racist and white supremacist and deplorable child voters who have no right to exist in this country. >> gillian: all right. more "outnumbered" is coming up just on the other side of the break. stick with us. currencies falling. but i've seen centuries of this. with one companion that hedges the risks you choose
