problem. it drives me crazy and why i like talking to a pro like you and i appreciate a monday booking. most shows don't assume i'll be sober by monday to come up. you had faith and you were rewarded thank you. >> harris: you are very >> harris: we begin here. a growing number of police officers across the country are leaving their jobs amid what critics are calling a war on police. at least 31 people were shot between friday and sunday. 15 people injured on saturday night alone. the violent weekend comes as we learned of a third nypd officers leaving the forest for the number of officer retirement rose to 75% last year, compared with the previous year. more than 5300 cops calling it

quits and a rise in anti-police sentiment. you are watching "outnumbered." today, my cohost, emily compagno, kayleigh mcenany. a host of, kennedy. media columnist for "the hill" and fox news contributor, joe concha. commit a crime, and all of the violence surges in cities. now portland, oregon,'s mayor, ted wheeler, is changing his tune on the violent protests that have continued for over a year. wheeler is now calling on people to identify the rioters and help take back the city from the self-described anarchistic mob. >> we must stand together as a community against this ongoing criminal intimidation and violence. they want to burn. they want to bash. they want to intimidate. they want to insult.

>> harris: you know it, ted? you go first. let's see how many people in your party follow you. but in washington, a growing push to clamp down on police. squad member congresswoman ilhan omar set to introduce a bill to create a new federal board to investigate police misconduct, and merrick garland telling law enforcement officials that the investigation into the minneapolis police department will not be the last civil rights investigation. i come to you first. top line. see five and now you can put the toothpaste back in the tube at this point. i am old enough to remember on some of the media so that antifa was just an idea. apparently the idea is very important in minneapolis and new york, chicago. the companies that you would refer to you on "outnumbered"

here they did these great studies that show that new york and california had the biggest exodus of any states in the country, and when you consider that leadership in new york is bill de blasio, chuck schumer. and nancy pelosi, or it is gavin newsom. or it is eric swalwell, adam schiff, alyssa milano. yeah, if you're states are being run by people like that, that is going to be a problem. the media portrayal in demonizing law enforcement is having a real effect in terms of morale, in terms of retirement, like you talked about. making the job increasingly dangerous. you look at, show that 40% of americans, this is the most recent poll -- that is down from 50%. that is down from 64% in 2004. so, look here and more police officers died last year, harris, then any other years since the nixon administration. we are talking 1974. some because they had to work in the middle of a pandemic.

and more than ever, they are in harm's way. leaders like those in portland and new york are not part of the solution. they are only part of the problem. >> harris: and you know why they were working in that pandemic? because they are essential. >> joe: exactly. >> harris: they are essential. i just wanted to get that out. kennedy, portland, oregon. today on the show, you probably know better than anybody. what is ted wheeler talking about? go out and round up your neighbors. you just go out and find those writers. let him go first. take his democrat friends with him, see how many people they round up. >> kennedy: this is what happens to your city when you appease fascism, and that is what ted wheeler has done. and he has helped maintain this climate for nine months, so if you got pregnant at the beginning of the portland riots, you would have a baby now. that's a pretty incredible thought.

and it's only getting worse and worse. why would he want to be a cop in a place like that when the people who are assaulting you, they are not charged? you know, and if you are able to arrest them, they are free to go within a few hours, and the d.a. is not going to prosecute people who assault other people, who commit arson. this is not freedom. this is the opposite of freedom. and ted wheeler now realizes that people are free to choose to visit other cities and start businesses and other places and go to other states that have not evolved into this dumpster fire. >> harris: kayleigh, you and i have talked about, and i know the former president and i have talked about it. president trump about the realities for police in the last year and what they have faced. you told us, i believe it was last week, what you saw up close and personal, what they were experiencing. >> kayleigh: yeah, that's right. and you have people like ted

wheeler, one federal officers went into his city, he called and paramilitary forces and said he stood with the protesters. well, now here we are ten months later. he totally demonized our officers, our federal forces who are just there to help. let me tell you a little bit about what they were enduring during my time in the office. when the federal officers went in, these protesters tried to burn down a building that they were in. that they had commercial grade fireworks launched at them. some of them suffered temporary blindness from lasers. one had a nail and paled through his hand. and you have the sitting mayor is saying that they are paramilitary forces and he stands with the protesters. my gosh. and i remember going on with you, harris, on "outnumbered over time." there are two models. like in wisconsin after kenosha, invited officers and, supported them, got control of that city and state, and then you have the

noncooperative model, with ted wheeler, who now, ten months later, as kennedy said, you could have a baby my now. they have enabled it, as officers put their life on the line to try to maintain the peace. >> harris: so true. i feel like we need to hear more from the mayor because he really did, for a while there, insist on speaking. remember that day that the scrum of people around him were just trying to get him off the stage? they don't want to hear from him anymore. here he is defunding police, back in june. talking about that. ted wheeler. >> we decided to reinvest $1 million from the police budget back into a community driven process to support black children here in portland. we are taking resources from the police bureau and supporting the education and nurturing of black children in our community, but we have also looked up fundamentally re-shifting our first responder program. you can describe it as a tipping point. however you want to describe it.

what clearly is called for is transformative change. >> harris: look, emily, nobody is going to begrudge anybody for wanting to help children of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and raises. this is not what this has ever been about. he's talking about taking resources away from a city at a time in which it is literally on fire at times. with people in the streets. now he wants the citizens to go out and do the job of police for free. >> emily: that's exactly right. the only transformative change though citizens was their skyline burning down. here's the thing about the mayor. he was also up for reelection, but he won because the other options in the buffet of socialism or even worse. he tried to backpedal his ridiculous decisions that you're going try to infuse a $2 million one-time surge back into the police department to address gun violence. unanimously, the city council said no. they said you get $6 million to

address gun violence, but you cannot give $1 of it to the police department. so what happens? now they give $1 million to park rangers to patrol the box one, remember, we cover the story where to park rangers were chased by a man with a knife, and they then had to call 91 want to get the cops to come and arrest back i viewed $4 million went to nonprofits in portland to address gun violence. so do your point about his call to action for citizens, they are now relying on philanthropists and nonprofits to make the streets safe. and then the final surge, get this. this is the kicker. reallocate 14 officers to create a gun violence intervention team because they eradicated the gun violence reduction team last summer. here is a final point. you know the last building that those antifa destroyers burned to the ground? the boys & girls club. that city has a complete example of what happens when you fester and placate, to kennedy's one,

not only the fascist, but destructive protesters, and you don't stand with a spine like the rest of the citizens are. a quick point about seattle, we have lost over 200 officers, and recently it has been called a staffing crisis by the chief and deputy mayor because those people are seen clearly that officers are leaving in droves, not to mention to joke on just one, all of the statistics about injuries and death and dying by suicide. and yet our public safety chair here says oh, no, it is not because we decimated the budget. it's not because we took away all of the over time police departments used to stay proficient and current with their scuba diving and boating, things that this water town needs. we are seeing the complete destruction of it with no -- it doesn't seem to me that there's going to be and he turned back because as long as those people sit on the city council, they are making these ridiculous decisions that do not reflect the people who live here, nor their safety.

>> harris: well, look across the country too appeared new york, we are seeing people leave in droves from the nypd. you are was "a buffet of socialism." i rode it down. worth remembering. for all of the reasons that we have been talking about, i want to have a bigger conversation. around police and policing. it is very intense right now, but we have to have it. some are calling to disband or defund the police, and you just heard from emily -- what a hot mess sandwich that is. officers facing vitriol as they do their job these days, and at the same time, there is a real anchor, and there is real grief over police involved shootings. tomorrow, i will spend the whole hour on this issue. "the faulkner focus." i will talk with officers about what they are facing everyday, and we will also take your questions as viewers because your input is so important. that is tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.

>> emily: welcome back. there are some grim new numbers for president biden when it comes to the border. voters in the new fox poll say border security is worse today than it was two years ago. all this smugglers have been caught in a new video now using a rope to lower a mother and her kid down this 30-foot section of

border wall. meantime, vice president here is coming up with this excuse when pressed on why she hasn't visited the southern border. it has been a month since she was made the point person for a record surge in migrants. >> yes, we are working on a plane to get there. we have to deal with covid issues, but i can get there soon enough in terms of personally getting there. >> emily: joe concha, we have to go with the covid issue. that is a different story than even what she campaigned on where she made a focal point about "making meaningful change to immigration and illegal immigration," so what happened to her pet passion? >> joe: very good question, emily. she is fully vaccinated. the vice president is viewed is on the cdc say it is okay to travel when you are fully vaccinated? she has gone to eight or nine other states. taxes not on that particular schedule, so that excuses out. by the way, in that poll, who

are the 15% that think that things are better at the border? who are these people? to quote jerry seinfeld. kamala harris ends up being on the top of the ticket. even some democrats say that that may be the case. biden may be a one-term president he or she will have to run on her record as vice president. this is her number one priority. how do you think the problem when you don't see the problem? and by the way, why not do a press conference once in a while instead of the t-ball session that she did on cnn yesterday? i always hear the excuse "vice president don't hold press conferences." that's funny. i would see mike pence on my screen, taking questions for extended. mys of time when he was put in charge of the coronavirus task force. this could be her signature failure. i could really hurt her chances in 2024 if joe biden decides that he doesn't want to run for president again.

>> emily: so, kennedy, taking that a step further, i think it is clear that we are seeing the strategy of protection by the democratic party because any time the press addresses her new role at the border, they say no, it is only about the northern triangle. no, it is about finding the root causes. there is a clear chasm because dominic between what they are saying so that she can keep her record clean. your thoughts? >> kennedy: this technique is not working. it is simply not working to pretend that the surge at the border isn't having a horrible effect on children and families. it is. there is so much confusion, and the only signaling from this administration is if you send your kids alone, sell everything you've got, send your kids with smugglers, we are not going to send them back. that makes these kids pawns in this entire enterprise and puts on that so much risk.

i don't think she understands what word she is using when she says "i can't get there soon enough." that is now. now is when the surge is happening. it is only going to get worse and worse, so go fix it now. you can absolutely work on not, but go down there, get affected by appeared get angry if you get emotional. see what's happening with these kids, and then do something about it. she is not going to be on spirit air. she is fully vaccinated. she will fly on the plane was like for other people. she is like the john kerry of vice president. [laughs] >> emily: kayleigh, kennedy mentions that the children are being used as pawns, and we have heard of the horrors and atrocities that they have to go through. packed in like sardines. however, they are being given a book. everyone is being given a copy, apparently, of vice president

kamala harris' book. my question is would there be any acceptance of this that there is now if this had been happening under the prior administration? and what are your thoughts on these kids getting "superheroes are everywhere?" >> kayleigh: one of the lines in this book that these children are receiving is "in times of trouble, superheroes always show up here" the superhero, kamala harris, has not shown up for these girls in the micro and facility in houston that had to be shut down because they had to use the bathroom and back sphere they were not allowed to stand up from their beds. the superhero did not show up for them. the superhero did not show up for the four and 5-year-olds cup i smugglers. the superhero did not show up here the superhero did not show up for the kids who are victims of violence. as they make the dangerous journey. superheroes are not showing up because of covid, she says. what a lame excuse. it is perfectly safe for her to go down there.

even if you put aside the fact that she is vaccinated, we talked on this panel, our front-line workers did not stop working during the pandemic. our police officers did not. why is it fair for the highest office in the land to not show up? it is an excuse, and it is quite sad. >> harris: because she doesn't know what to do. [laughs] if you don't have the answer, you can't rush to the border. what are you rushing for? that has got to be a part of the calculation. if they want to fill in the gap, take a news conference. you can tell us what the truth is. >> emily: right. be transparent. communicate. but to kayleigh's point, the vice president asked it herself. where are these kids superhero? for now, she is m.i.a. just ahead, "the washington post" get slammed over tim scott's ancestry. some say that the paper has a double standard.

with racism and poverty, but she ended up at yale law school. there are questions about how her parents got graduate degrees. if you had a piece like that of "the washington post," you would lose your job by the end of the week, and i think that is really the problem. >> harris: joe concha, i come to you first. >> joe: i like him. he is unafraid of. he reminds me of bill maher. he is exactly right about this. this will never be done about a senator named cory booker from my state of new jersey or raphael warnock from the state of georgia. they should be speaking up and out right now, defending tim scott and sing this piece was wrong. don't worry about the fact that he is a republican. they should be defending him at this point, while "the washington post" should be issuing an apology now because that piece was so -- >> harris: that's not going to happen. >> joe: it won't, probably, right? apologies are in short supply these days. no one ever admits a mistake.

white-splaining the situation, and never ends well. he should be put on a two week mandatory vacation along with whatever editor -- remember, this isn't some left-wing blog. this is "the washington post." an editor had to approve this as well, and how it got through all of this, and somebody thought this was a good idea, this wasn't a good idea. tim scott, he will benefit from this in terms of his national profile because this is somebody who also is on a list of possible 2024 candidates if he decides to run in that particular election. >> harris: yeah. kennedy, you have known me for a lot of years. when i say stuff like this, i call it what it is. they try to figure out who is black enough in the room. i have dealt with as my entire life. it is a litmus test. oh, so-and-so must not have been -- there must be something wrong with that story. they are not of the right political ideology.

so, what exactly are they? are they black enough? kennedy. >> kennedy: yeah, so glenn kessler, the white devil, is going to tell tim scott, growing up that he is not black enough. he is going to question his family heritage and their personal experiences? and now all of a sudden, he is going to employ actual journalism? i was reading this, going to hunter biden next. go ask those exact same questions. use the same types of resources. go talk to professors and chinese political science. connect some of those dots, like they did with tim scott. tim scott has experienced racism in the united states senate. let alone growing up, when his great grandfather, and his grandfather and father grew up in south carolina. so glenn kessler can take his privilege and just like fonzie

said, he can sit on it. [laughter] >> harris: all right, i do want to get to this -- although i would like to say that again over and over. "the washington post" is getting pressed for their fact-check on senator tim scott's ancestry because it did not do the same on vice president kamala harris and the plagiarism claim here let's watch. maybe some of you will remember this from jimmy fallon. >> a very funny story. she's said what do you want? and this is how she would say it. she would say kamala, what do you want? and i would say freedom. >> harris: now, what's up with that, kayleigh? >> kayleigh: yeah, that is eerily similar to a story by reverend dr. martin luther king jr. in 1965. it is virtually identical to a story that he shared, and she has been saying that since 2004. one would think that that would

cause people's radars to come up and do some investigation and some digging, but not for the liberal fact-checkers who have one goal. joe hit the nail on the head. we will see a lot of these. 2024 takedowns. exactly what they did to ron desantis. manufacture a scandal. he is easily one of the top contenders for the nomination. it was untrue. it was a lie. it was exposed. now, tim scott, who was among the top five for the nomination as well, they have got to take them down too, which is why this came out 12 hours after it was announced that he would be giving the rebuttal to joe biden speech on wednesday. timing. >> harris: so, i want to double down if you just a little bit because i am curious to know how you combat this. you are a communications specialist, formerly in politics. do you let something like this go? if you are senator tim scott, you are his team, you know that you are giving the rebuttal after the state of the union, what do you do now? >> kayleigh: i think you come

out and expose it. they have no interest in getting to the truth. i have dealt with as i don't know how many times where you have a so-called fact-check in. you explain the truth of the matter to the fact-checker. they don't care your side of the story. they may put a line and about your remark, but they will say the context was wrong in the way that it was at, and the republican has their pants on fire which is why it a study found that by 3-1, republicans are fact-checked as having lying up more often. there is no way to combat it. you've got to expose it on the other end, which i think senator tim scott's team should do. >> harris: yet, you've got to fact-check the fact-checkers. you've got to go after the people who say that they are watching out for us, but i don't know that they even know what that means. emily, just in terms of where we go next with this, who gets to decide who these people are and who they get to take down? they didn't get a pinocchio and

all of this. they just said what they said. isn't there some sort of a gold standard? if you are lying, you get a pinocchio. that is what i see. >> emily: this entire thing is so repulsive to me. it is so revolting. and you just said, just one of the points that makes up the steaming pile of disgusting journalism. and it is that it is so misleading. the title, we are sucked in. you think that there is some type of inaccuracy or secrecy. but no, there is actually no pinocchios given. self-created, manufactured parameter. glenn kessler, in his infinite wisdom, focused on state department, international law, can somehow come out and white-splain, when "the wall street journal" published an insightful journalistic article about how difficult it is to research genealogy pre and post-emancipation and how

difficult record-keeping was, why it is so hard, why genealogically and genetically, there have been so many surprises and unexpected things. it is such a real, complex, and not really talked about and clearly oversimplified by this arena. so for this guy to come in who's role now is just a fact-checker after writing his book about donald trump and trying to come in and destroy a man's reputation. do you think if fox did that, people would be quiet about it? to joe concha's point, if someone did that about stacey abrams, that people wouldn't be in an uproar over this? i find this disgusting, and to kayleigh's point, if i were the senator, i would come up so loudly and say why don't we sit down? ask me any questions about my heritage. let's explore this. this is absolutely revolting to me. >> harris: all right. we will move on. up next, some celebrities at last night's oscars where a

every level, and the number of people that he has employed and continue to employ, he has created an empire for himself. after seeing something like that, you cheer for them because you know the effect he is going to have on other people, and that is what i want to remember from the broadcast. >> emily: joe concha, this is being considered the wokest academy awards ever, and yet "oscars so white" was in effect. the union train station had to be swept of all of the homeless before. >> joe: unbelievable. let me use 3d terms. this was a steaming pile of a hot mess and the dumpster fire. it was downright boring. i mean, we have lost our humor. it was completely humorless. i was like begging billy crystal to somehow crash this thing and bring some life to it. instead, you have people speaking down to you and how they feel about certain political things when we should

that we should communicate with one another. it took him such courage to mention the police on that stage, which is sad that it would be shunned to mention the police in that environment, but he was courageous enough to say it. he talked about how he was formerly homeless. grew up in the jim crow south with his mom, became this great success story. talked about his faith in the god. he is a man that we should look up to you, and i just wish kelly would have more like tyler perry. >> emily: harris, all of those hollywood celebs, the private security businesses in the billions. they are no stranger to needing protection, so it is interesting to see the hypocrisy. >> harris: i mean, hypocrisy should be like a leading character for most of those people on that stage for their next production. i want to go back to something that kayleigh said really quickly because i think it is

super, super important to point this out. there are also it's a beautiful american stories. and if we are honest about her history, we measure that by where we are now, and we can measure what has changed across those years. his story of coming where he has come from, from poverty, from being black, from all of those things that made those early days tough for him but have delivered someone with an incredible american dream. those stories are valuable to all of us, no matter where we come from. it is a shame that hollywood doesn't see it that way. they just simply stop clapping when he asked all of us to not tolerate hate for any of us. >> emily: and i'm sure they will come in and fact-check the story and ruin it further. up next, mass confusion. courtesy of dr. fauci. what he now says about common sense, science, and masking outdoors. stay with us. ♪ ♪

you are vaccinated person, wearing a mask outdoors, i mean obviously the risk is minuscule, but when you look around at the common sense situation, obviously the risk is really very low, particularly if you are vaccinated. >> harris: so now we are going to lean on common sense, kennedy. he didn't say follow the science. he said follow your common sense. >> kennedy: oh, so it is common sense now. our kids would have been back in school since at least september, but alas, many of them still are not. he is the ultimate karen. [laughter] >> harris: i had to think about that for a second. emily. >> harris: yes, and it's interesting because now that the new numbers have come out from the cdc. for example, the rising rates in michigan. they have higher rates than texas and florida combined. texas and florida which have completely reopened have lower and fewer coronavirus cases then

michigan, pennsylvania, and new york, which has those tight restrictions. >> harris: a new university of chicago study says, kayleigh, thought the whole social distancing thing has basically been re-looked at. we can embrace fluidity in the situation, but what is this from dr. fauci? gosh. >> kayleigh: the science changes, yes, but the science has always been there, which kids should be back in school. it hurts people. yes, i do know dr. fauci. two doctors who both work for the trump administration. i think it is very important that when all of this is done, we go back and analyze he was saying what, where, when, and where was it data to support it? there was a very good white house correspondent from real clear politics, and he tweeted out "wasn't dr. al is saying this all the way back in october, and cnn was absolutely

annihilating him for doing that?" i am improvising there. i saw dr. alice say you don't need to wear a mask if you are alone in a desert. if you are alone in your car. if you are alone on a bicycle. he was right. they hammered him, but when dr. fauci goes on, where as a follow-up question? i looked this morning. it was not there. >> joe: so, this weekend, i went to no one but two restaurants because i am fully vaccinated. i took the family to one in a city near me that i used to live in for a long time. it seems to have some sort of mandate or at least highly suggest that you should wear a mask while you are outside. you see everyone walking around in masks outside. i don't want to be that guy that stands out, getting me and looks are anything like that. i get to the restaurant. then i get in and take my mascot. i was wearing a mask outside. then when i am inside, now my mask is off. here is dr. fauci just two weeks

ago when he was asked is it okay to go to a restaurant if you are fully vaccinated? "no, it is still not okay. you have to not be in crowded situations." cdc says, however, "fully vaccinated people can visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without physical distancing." so you have fauci now contradicting his own cdc. he needs to get it under control. he has done like 300 interviews this year alone. he doesn't have to be on every second. just say no. >> harris: i wonder how you can follow the moving ball of the science if you are always in front of the camera. when we come back, the climate envoy. john kerry is showing off just how he likes to get around environmentally conscious. you know what? he hops on a scooter. and boy, was he mocked on twitter. ♪ ♪ not everybody wants the same thing.
