tv Outnumbered FOX News April 23, 2021 9:00am-10:01am PDT
9:00 am
should be the simplest thing for the pentagon to go out there and approve end by the way, the people showing up are not averse to risks, i think we can make those decisions for ourselves to decide if we want to risk being outside during covid or getting on a motorcycle, we've made those decisions before. >> harris: congressman, thank you for your service and for being with us on "the faulkner focus" today and joe, good to see you as well and thank all of you for "the faulkner focus." "outnumbered" starts right now. >> harris: fox news alert, democrats and the mainstream media are being criticized for pushing a narrative about the fatal police shooting of 16-year-old ma'khia bryant in columbus, ohio. this new home security video we
9:01 am
first aired exclusively on "the faulkner focus" shows that violent confrontation before the police officer opened fire from even a different perspective. you're watching "outnumbered," i'm harris faulkner. here today, emily compagno, kayleigh mcenany my cohost, tomi lahren and steve hilton, great to see everybody. as these images show, ma'khia bryant appeared to be just moments away from stabbing and potentially killing another young girl and the officer had just nine seconds from getting out of the patrol car to reaching that point before he fired. but the officer is not being recognized for saving the life of the woman in the pink who is pressed up against that car, instead this has been the reaction from democratic lawmakers and multiple media outlets, watch. >> just like we've been visited by tragedy here in minnesota
9:02 am
often, she in columbus, ohio, was visited by a tragedy of a young woman whose life was taken by columbus police. >> the question we have to ask ourselves, what if it were your daughter? what if it were your child, what if it were a member of your family, your neighbor, essentially a teenage fight, a schoolyard fight. >> this is never what the argument for an movement for black lives has been, that you get to kill black people when they are not being perfect. no black person is truly going to be safe if you are having a bad day. if you can't de-escalate a 16-year-old with a kitchen knife when you have a gun and you are a grown man. >> shoot the gun in the air as a warning, tase a person, shoot them in the leg, even if the cop had to do it, there's something wrong with it.
9:03 am
>> harris: all of this pontification, steve hilton, is why i wanted to try to get the neighbor yesterday and his videotape to come directly from him because we don't have all the information. even still the investigation is ongoing but when i hear things like "black people having a bad day," and acting "not perfect," yet this other young woman is pressed up against the car with a knife coming at her, i'm not sure how that equates either of those two things, she was in a criminal act, not just lesshan-perfect. >> steve: exactly, harris. most reasonable people watching that and the more we learn about it would say it's an incredibly tough situation, the police were called to the situation in order to stop something terrible from happening. and the police officer did exactly that, did his duty, did what was asked of him by those
9:04 am
people. most reasonable people would agree that. the thing i want to focus on, though, is you're going to get the usual idiots pontificating, as you said, the thing that really shocked me about this and the reaction to this was jen psaki from the podium in the white house literally reciting the racist, divisive talking points of the wokeness to ideology that seems to have now captured of the power in our country in a frightening way, nothing illustrates that more than the fact that we have the white house press secretary, resetting a false narrative in order to push the wokeness to ideology that is so dangerous. if that kind of ideology was pushed in the school, i don't know where they are going to school, if she is apparent
9:05 am
learned, that our children are being subjected to the kind of false ideological divisive racist talking points that she herself recited from the white house podium, she would be outraged and we should be outraged that she did that. >> harris: is only one among us who stood at that lecture and, kayleigh mcenany, your response to all of this plus what steve just said? e3 steve is exactly right, she holds an incredible megaphone here and to demonize this officer, to dub essentially police as racist which is what she did by saying this fact was not justified or merited merited as a young girl was about to lose her life is so damaging. but steve is exactly right tip of the microscope on that because even president obama, look, he got a lot of criticism when he came out in the wake of michael brown's death, we now know the facts of that scenario,
9:06 am
that the officer was resolved by president obama's own justice department, she is not only gone that far but even further to directly tie this to race without evidence, without proof, she should be asked about it from the podium and one more point, the ferguson effect which i don't think a lot of advice from jim call me or put a lot of stock in what he said but he was right about this, in the wake of that michael brown shooting he said that murder rates went up because police were afraid of what he called the viral video effect, the ferguson effect because 72% of officers said they were more reluctant and she's taken at even a step further. >> harris: well, and the video should actually help, more information, more words should be what we are going for but if you are going to leverage it and use it as a weapon rather than a feathering of information for the case and getting to the truth, what you are describing
9:07 am
is exactly what happened. i want to get to that point by having us look together, at the neighbor across the street, he had a camera above his garage, he and his wife hurt a little bit of the fight between these young people before all this happened and then when the squad car drove up, the camera came on and he said there could have been two young ladies dead, watch. >> he could have either not fired and the young lady in pink could have been stabbed in the neck or been fatally injured and then responded and shot and i would have been two young ladies possibly dead. >> harris: tomi lahren, your response? >> tomi: he's exactly right. our officers are being emplaced in an impossible situation every day and it's getting worse by the day, that officer shot, and he did have to shoot, ma'khia bryant to keep her from stabbing
9:08 am
another young black girl, but had he done nothing, had he allowed her to stop that other young black girl or another black girl or another person of any race he would also be deemed a racist, they are being put in this impossible situation, they can't win, they are being used as a headline, being used for fake outrage from the left, and utterly ridiculous, the people that are going to suffer most from this, outside of our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line and being placed in a possible situation are the communities being affected. these officers going into these communities of color or these minority communities in high crime areas and responding to these calls, they don't just show up randomly, they are called into these situations, they are going to be more hesitant to defend these communities because they are so afraid of doing something wrong, they are so afraid of having that camera shoved in their face and they are going to be placed in that situation where, do we protect and serve the community or just stay away and save
9:09 am
ourselves from this outrage from the mainstream media and from the democrats? it is so irresponsible, what jen psaki and so many democrats are doing right now, demonizing our police officers, the defend or abolish the police movement is putting the very communities these people claim to care about in the most danger but they are doing it for social media points and for waste of time virtue signal and they need to be called out for it. >> harris: well, and the people who are calling 911, who do they think is going to come? they reached out, they wanted the cops there. the other dangerous part about this as a people who are actually in need of the help right away, right? gosh, i just wish that we could fix it with conversation and coming together. i want to show you this, emily, congresswoman rashida tlaib, ma'khia's tiktok videos, her smile at the end of the videos just breaks me a little more,
9:10 am
it's been maddening to see so many people strip away the fact that a child was killed, we cannot be a society that justifies the killing of a child. your response to that? >> emily: i think that's an incredible oversimplification and pushing of a narrative that is really damaging, to echo my colleagues points and it's funny, that montage that we played earlier, harris, when the former president of the naacp was talking and said imagine if that was your child, et cetera, i thought he was talking about the young teenager in pink, the one whose life was saved and i wonder who speaks up for the countless americans lives that are saved by law enforcement intervention here, instead we have the vilification, the major vilification by the left, really fascinating article for the "washington examiner" in the title of it was "between carjacking and knife fights, the kids are not all right." on the heels of those derek chauvin guilty verdict, the left scrambled immediately
9:11 am
to find a new mascot for the cop gone wild and they found won that night with this tragic but justified killing. remember just next week, a 13-year-old is due in court for stabbing to death another 13-year-old, we talk a lot about the violent crime explosions in the last year, we don't have much data reported for juvenile statistics but those of absolutely skyrocketed, juvenile arrests in connecticut alone are up 23%, there's a carjacking task force that was created in washington, d.c., for the uptick in juvenile car theft and that was before those two teenagers killed the huber driver carjacking his car, that was before that. so i think when we look at this in terms of the protection needed and that compassion i would think required that should match this passion from the left of our law enforcement jobs, i wonder, at one point where those calls me to protect these kids that are clearly absolutely
9:12 am
being let down and shamelessly ignored by as she calls it the tierney of the pandemic and the adults whose responsibility it should be to save those kids. >> harris: that's why i said, i mean, they are calling 911, they are in trouble, and what's going on before all of that as you point out to save those kids and help them to make different decisions so that they don't end up at the point where she's got a knife and so on and so forth. we don't know everything because we don't know the whole investigation. we will continue to cover the facts as they happen. just ahead, despite multiple deaths, and nearly $2 billion in damage, one "new york times" columnist says the black lives matter movement is the best behaved protest movement in history. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. thank you! hey, hey, no, no limu, no limu!

be to welcome back, brand-new video of a violent confrontation between protesters and law enforcement in new york city. demonstrators, some reportedly with black lives matter shoving police officers as the turned chaotic. you can hear someone in the crowd yelling "disgrace" of the officers. despite images like this and many others, one "new york times" columnist is suggesting that the protest violence that plagued our city for the past year, tweeting "yes there were bad actors, there are always bad actors in any situation but not many. the idea that our big cities are under threat, blm may have been the best behaved protest movement in history. tomi, i'd like to start with you
9:18 am
on this, following the george floyd killings in minneapolis alone, $350 million worth of property damage, nearly $2 billion nationwide, 18 deaths, 400 law enforcement officers injured, we know the federal protective services officer patrick underwood was killed in oakland, retired police chief david doran was also killed, this isn't nonviolent, what do you make of this kind of color he's placing on this? >> tomi: unfortunately those in the fake news media think the american people are stupid and their smoke and mirrors charade is working, that the blm movement is mostly peaceful. the protest, they wanted to i guess not believe our own eyes, we are seeing what's happening here but the thing about the blm movement as this, everything they've been doing for the last several months if not several years has been working, they've
9:19 am
been given a path to lawlessness, they have our own vice president tweeting out contributions for the bail effort to get some of these individuals out of jail and to pay for that process so they've been given this giant path and they are going to run with it, this organization, as violent and destructive and disgusting as it may be, smart people are running it, just beyond that, they know that they've got our democratic leaders, they've got the media, a lot of companies, social media and pop culture so they are running in intimidation campaign. if you don't cosign and endorse everything blm does, you are deemed are racist and you will be canceled so that's why they've been so emboldened and why you are seeing them getting more and more violent, you are seeing them taking to the streets more often because they are smart, they've seen it work, they've been able to get away with it so i with a stop? they are only going to stop if we've got leadership to say this is unacceptable and puts an end
9:20 am
to it. >> emily: part of the impact of this narrative being pushed as no destruction and no violence quality of this movement is that it gas lights all those citizens who are their livelihoods destroyed, who lost their loved ones, and who is listening to those americans, who is actually paying attention and trying to restore their livelihood and fractured families? >> kayleigh: it totally ignores their pain into their suffering, that's exactly it and it's so insulting, if you tragically lost a family member in these riots, turn on msnbc ncr reporter standing there with a microphone saying what we are seeing here is generally not unruly and a building is in flames behind him, it defies logic and it's amazing to me, the ap white house correspondent said last month, fox reported on
9:21 am
this, last month on television, these protests were not violent, they were not violent protests. he knows that's not true, he sat in my white house press briefings when i played the footage you are watching right now, the opposite, the facts tell the story when you have 14,000 arrests in the nonviolent protests, 14,000 across the country, and a white house correspondent has the audacity to go on tv and say no violence here. it's a lie and it's unfortunate and it marginalizes the pain of the victims. >> emily: steve, i wanted to ask you about something specific in here as well, the notion of behaving, isn't that exactly the type of language and patronizing approach that true social justice activists team is so problematic, this is one more progressive liberal getting it all wrong. >> steve: exactly and this is a guy who has been awarded the
9:22 am
nobel prize and every time he comes out with something like this, it is just inconceivable to me that he's taken seriously, he's humiliated himself, it's so provably false, just in his own terms he's talking about the best behaved protest movement in the history, i don't recall, just one recent example, the tea party movement, i don't recall them going around the country looting and burning things and getting arrested. it's just unbelievable but i'll tell you what it really tells you is, it's just another example, the left's complete hypocrisy and gaslighting, whatever they say you are guilty of they themselves do so for example they have been completely on their high horse about how certain people, trump supporter's and those in the media on that side of the argument have been trying to pretend that their january 6th
9:23 am
events, airbrush it out of history, they are completely enraged when people try to put that into context and now we see them doing exactly the same thing but much, much worse in relation to these riots that were provably dangerous and damaging. >> emily: and are still going on. moving on, next, a mom is going viral blasting her school board for making young kids still wear face masks and distance. >> are you going to tell them tonight, tell them i don't want to wear this anymore. it's april 15th 2021 and it's time, take these masks off of my child. ♪ ♪

9:28 am
children, young kids to mask up and socially distance. she said there is little evidence kids are at risk of getting covid. her outrage is going viral. >> every month i come here and i hear the same thing, social-emotional health. if you truly mean that you would end the mask requirement tonight. tonight. this is not march 2020 anymore, we have three vaccines, every adult in the state of georgia that wants a vaccine is eligible to get it right now and everyone of us knows that young children are not affected by this virus. they are not and that is a blessing but as the adults, what have we done with that blessing? we've shoved it to the side and said we don't care, you are still going to wear a mask on your face every day, five and 6-year-olds. you still can play together on the playground like normal children, seven and 8-year-olds raid we don't care, we are still going to force you to carry a burden that was never yours to carry. shame on us.

my 6-year-old looks at me every month before i come here and says "are you going to tell them tonight, tell them i don't want to wear this anymore." and i say baby, it's not time to fight that battle yet. i try to explain it. it's april 15th, 2021 and it's time, take these masks off of my child. >> harris: kayleigh mcenany, it is visceral when you watch that. your first reaction? >> kayleigh: it reminds me of the moment dr. scott atlas walked into my office and said "what civilization sacrifices their children?" especially when you have an expert from oxford, harvard and stanford all talking about masks with children citing data, studies from iceland and sweden saying this is not necessary,
9:30 am
it's removed from youtube. we sacrificed our children and when the science is on the side of reopening schools, not wearing masks if you are under five, we sacrificed our children, it's shameful and i am praising her for speaking up from a very well done. >> harris: we don't hear this necessarily in the mainstream media or from the biden administration but the former president came up through his operation warp speed program, a really strong weapon and all of this and as people are getting their vaccinations, what science says is that all of this wouldn't be necessary for the kids but we need consistent science now, steve? >> steve: we do but we haven't had it from the day this whole thing started. it's not march 2020, this was wrong even in march 2020, it was wrong then, it's wrong now, the whole thing has been wrong because it hasn't been driven by science or data or the facts, it's been driven by ideology, by
9:31 am
fauci and the others who have been in charge pushing an old playbook for a different disease, ignoring the facts, huge parts of our communities are not particularly vulnerable, not focusing on protecting the most vulnerable and saving lives that way, instead of that we have this blanket locked down that caused immense to hurt and pain and suffering and made sure we had more people dead in the end anyway and now we have the vaccine and even now they are not telling us the truth, even now they are not following the science or the date or the facts, look at what fauci is saying. the main reason young people, who are healthy, should get the vaccine is because they may still catch the virus and transmitted to others. at the same time he saying that vaccinated people still need to wear masks, why? because they may transmit the virus. none of it makes any sense. these people have caused such harm to our country, i cannot believe we followed them in the first place.
9:32 am
we shouldn't follow them for a second more, they've been wrong from the start and they need to be accountable for the destruction they have brought our country. >> harris: this is not the first time i've heard you talk about like this, steve helton and we've had these conversations too. what you to set up of the vaccine and kids spreading it is with the cdc says they are going to take a look at now. maybe that is in the case. they want to take a look at that, let's see what they do with that announcement. there's more from this mom and she talks about specifically the cdc. listen to this. >> we did not vote for people at the cdc. we did elect leaders who do create policy, we elected the five of you. we chose you to make difficult decisions for our children, we chose you to make decisions in our children's best interests. forcing children to cover their
9:33 am
noses in their mouths where they breathe for seven hours a day every day for the last nine months for a virus that you know doesn't affect them, that is not in their best interest and this has to stop. defend our children. my 6-year-old can't come up here and say this. it has to stop, take these off of our children. >> harris: tomi lahren, cdc wasn't elected. >> tomi: absolutely, we've been allowing elected and on a unelected bureaucrats to control our lives are far too long. going back to their kids, i will tell you i have a friend in nashville teacher special education to children, some of these children are not verbal, they have a hard time communicating and they are forced to wear masks, imagine how difficult it is for those students but they are still required to wear them day in and day out, imagine what it's like being a special education teacher having to do this.
9:34 am
teachers in all grades and in all students are having to enforce the on children, the science is not back, those masks are not helping those children but moreover on the subject of masks, i am very against masks from the beginning, i don't think that's a surprise to anybody, it's a symbol of control but what's really bothered me is my fellow americans, the sheep among us, who are wearing masks driving alone, wearing masks walking alone outside, are not able to critically think about the benefits of the masks, they've been told that they should wear a mask and watching the number of people that i watch on a daily basis who wear the same mask all day day in and day out, they touch their mass repeatedly spreading germs to something they are now sitting on their face all day long because the government told them that i was going to keep them safe, they believe it. we need to bring critical thinking back in this country and we need to make independent thinking and making people understand that their health choices on are their own, we
9:35 am
need to make that great again. >> harris: quickly, emily, bring us home. >> emily: i thought that mother made an excellent point about who you elect and govern to take into account the science and recommendation by those positions because if you are a hammer you will see everything as a nail, our elected leaders have failed us so deeply, there are five parents in the state of florida who are suing their school district recently, the argument is between the governor who sent out an edict that has an executive order that is lifted the requirements, why is the local county get to make it more strict, the school district, constitutional requirements, i'm told that these parents here will at least be heard and with their kids not have to wear them. >> harris: all right, up next, why twitter appears to be giving lebron james a pass over that

9:41 am
until i deleted the tweet and i couldn't bring myself to delete the tweet so i had my 1-year-old daughter do it and i tweeted out, you know, one day i will explain to my daughter what censorship is and why she had to delete mommy's tweet. we found out two months later that hunter was under investigation and three months later he admitted it could be his laptop and of course the pictures of him and now jack dorsey said it was a mistake to ban the story during an election year. this is what we are dealing with, it's fundamentally dishonest and wrong of twitter to do this. >> emily: that was arguably other tweet that was setting out a bounty and it seems that truth has no impact on twitter's decisions, they are hiding behind random comments placating people actually ask about it. >> tomi: twitter is a joke and this is liberal privilege at play, we see time and time again, they are not going to ban any liberal and i'm sure all of you have had the same experience.
9:42 am
i reported several tweets about me that have gone so far as to list my address, to show pictures of somebody with a loaded gun saying they were going to come to my address and twitter told me that was not against their community standards, that's happened to me more than once on several occasions, i would say probably on a weekly basis i report tweets that are violent threats against me and twitter tells me they are not against their standards. if twitter and all these folks in big tech want to be arms of the dmc end liberal platforms for liberals to go back and forth, what are you go ahead and do that? song as you masquerade as being a platform for all, you are doing a really bad job of hiding your bias, utterly ridiculous. we need more alternatives, more lawsuits, so that's the only way we are going to fight this, get rid of section 230, fight back or it's never going to stop. speech that is atrocious, i'm so sorry that is happening to you and that you have no recourse from this company. steve, on that and it sort of interesting, "the wall street journal"

reported that silicon valley is in a feeding frenzy of venture capitalism going on with social media platform so do you see the rise in actual success of alternative platforms coming out of silicon valley? >> steve: not unless we fight back, i know a lot of these people, these companies are relieved by and for the left, they always have been, they've written the mark often given up any pretense of being objective and the real answer to this as well as all the things that tomi was saying there, i fully support that, we've got to understand that the real answer is competition, we have to have more competition and you're not going to get that just threw the organic process of new things started as you're pointing out there because of this thing called network effect, that's the jargon for monopoly, once you establish a monopoly then it's very difficult for an upstart and that's why the real answer is to break up these companies. conservatives don't typically like that but the way i put it is this, we need as much
9:44 am
competition in social media as we have in the rest of the media. you don't like what you're watching now, you can watch something else. social media you can do that, we need to break up twitter, break up facebook, break up youtube and then you will have a real chance by diversity. >> emily: harris, we will be getting your thoughts on the other side. do you have climate anxiety? apparently it's a condition that describes negative emotions associated with the perception of climate change. no joke. the panel on that, next. ♪ ♪
