>> kayleigh: a fox news alert, chaos growing under president biden as crises flareup for the white house in just the past several days. a cyber attack on a major u.s. fuel pipeline, troubling and disappointing job numbers, and the humanitarian crisis on our southern border. we began first the escalating israeli-palestinian violence as rocket attacks continue in that region and fears grow of an all-out war.

this is "outnumbered." i'm kayleigh mcenany in here today, my cohost, harris faulkner and emily compagno, in the virtual center seat, radio host and former cia analyst buck sexton, in israel that iron dome is being put to the test. dramatic video shows israel's air defense system intercepting and shooting down a barrage of rockets. israel's as hamas militants fired more than 1,000 rocket since the conflict began on monday and some of the worst violence and years to break outcome of the rocket fire was so reckless yesterday that the iron dome system seems to be overwhelmed, israeli forces firing back at targets in gaza, you can see here a building imploding, leveled to the ground in that crowded city, the building was reportedly evacuated ahead of time. in the meantime, smoke billowing

to the sky after another rocket attack as we get new video of the rubble and the number of deaths on both sides of this conflict continue to rise. it is such a tragic situation, what is going on there and morgan, i want to start with you. you and i were in the oval office time and time again as we secured middle east peace deals with the trump administration. i was with you there when we got the first one and the united arab emirates and i was also with you in september when we were on the south line of the white house celebrating this historic peace accord that we hadn't seen in a quarter of a century and we ended up getting forward during our time in the trump administration and i've been checking out your twitter feed and we've given them peace and they seem to have taken peace and turned it into absolute and utter chaos, what is going on in the biden administration? t-4 kayleigh, they've done that in 100 days, it's tragic. here's what happens, all of this in the middle east seems very

complicated and i actually think it doesn't need to be, it's pretty simple. israel is one of our greatest allies in the world if not the greatest. iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, hamas, all of these rockets you are seeing in the picture right now, these rockets are supplied by iran to hamas and the palestinian territory, they are getting reportedly $30 million a month from iran, so when the trump administration, kayleigh, as you know, we decided we are going to reward our allies, israel, morocco who also made peace with israel, we are going to reward our friends and allies and punish our enemies. so if you are a terrorist state, and iran is the greatest sponsor of terrorism according to the state department of multiple administrations, if you are a terrorist organization you are not getting rewarded with funding, you are not getting rewarded with sanctions or leave and what if that lead to when we made those decisions early on?

that led to the piece that you just told the audience about that you and i viewed together in the oval office and on the south lawn. fast forward when you decide to come in and try to rush back into the jcpoa with iran, negotiate with people still funding the terrorist sending these rockets into israel and you see destabilization so why is hamas doing this right now? because they can. because they know they can get away with it because of the language coming out of the state department and the white house that is shameful, that is equating an ally and a friend, that is doing a moral equivalency of the actions, this both sides language, as you and i know, this language is parsed very carefully. when hamas reads this moral equivalency language, this language saying that both sides should calm down, they know that that means that this administration is not going to

do anything to stop their actions. so my prayers are with the israeli children, the palestinian children. i have so many friends from israel that sent me text messages and pictures holding their little babies, holding their children in bomb shelters last night as they cried at 3:00 in the morning hearing the sirens and the sounds go off, my baby was fussy last night and i'm going to end with this, i don't want to take up all the time, my baby was very fussy last night and as i held her, kayleigh, i know you have a baby as well. as i held her eye thought, i can't imagine trying to get her down in a bomb shelter right now. it is disgusting with these terrorists are doing and there is no moral equivalency and the biden administration needs to stop it. >> kayleigh: you are exactly right, that is so well said. buck, going to you, it's enabling hamas when you are enabling around on one hand, the trump administration cut off funding to the palestinians, you

know the biden administration restarted that but the biden administration seems to have not taken this seriously, clinton had a special middle east peace envoy the first year -- excuse me, obama had it the second day, clinton had an israeli-palestinian summit the first year, trump had an ambassador already there in the country. hunter biden we have no israeli ambassador, we have no envoy to the middle east, we have no leadership, what is going on, buck? >> buck: kayleigh, i'm really worried that this is a harbinger of things to come not just between the israelis and palestinians in dealing with hamas terrorist but you mentioned with iranian revocations and escalation across the middle east. we look at what happened across the obama administration which had a disastrous foreign policy, take yourself back particularly to the second term where the obama foreign policy team's goal was essentially to get around to

agree to nuclear deal and really mortgage of the rest of our interest in the middle east, to essentially bend over backwards to get a deal. you had obviously a lot of iranian military activity, you have the militia in yemen, you're going to see anna ron that knows that it has a different administration to deal with here and that's going to result not only in this kind of violence with the israelis and palestinians but i think in broader middle east escalations and the biden team is going to say, well, it's kind of our fault because trump walked away from a nuclear deal, that's how they're going to excuse it. >> kayleigh: buck, for our viewers, you are looking at life pictures right now of gaza smoldering, this is quite a different theme from the one that you saw when you went to israel for the opening of the consulate in jerusalem. this is such a difference, you can take our viewers into where you were and what, the city, what jerusalem was like compared to what we are seeing in gaza

right now. >> harris: it was a very different type of situation, jerusalem day just past a couple days ago, 1957, the tom emmer and some of that day. this week was volatile but not the way in which we are seeing it now, and the reasoning is so different. general jack keane joined me last hour and he said, look, the palestinian people are being let down and i pointed out, if you have terrorists leading you and they are weak terrorists, and they are depending on iran to help them, what the doctors are seeing among the israelis who are hurting all of this, one doctor was quoted as saying "we are now seeing explosives with more power." , that's an interesting thing and buck, i come back to what you are saying in the interception, if you will, or the intersection of aranda and our enemies, they are getting cozier and cozier and it's much

more dangerous situation for us. so kayleigh, to pointedly answer your question, we saw a way forward in the relationship between the united states and israel and those in the region who wanted to support israel. we saw the beginning of those abraham accords that you and morgan were in the oval office, bringing about those deals with the president and getting word out to the american people. we saw that play out on the ground because we were there when they moved the embassy from tel aviv and opened our embassy in jerusalem. the holy city was getting hit by rockets 48 hours ago. i was not happening four years ago this week, a lot is changing and the question is, is the white house going to engage in a way that benefits all of america and helps our deep friends and ally israel, are they going to? when are they going to? and what will that look like? one last question, what

relationship do we now have through this white house and administration with iran, that impacts or infects what we do with our ally israel? >> kayleigh: all very good questions and as we watch gaza city smoldering there, emily, i want to play a sound bite for you from the white house press secretary jen psaki, here's how she's reacting. >> we believe palestinians and israelis deserve equal measures of freedom, security, dignity and prosperity and u.s. officials in recent weeks have spoken candidly with israeli officials with how palestinian families have lived for years and sometimes decades in their homes and how demolition of these homes work against achieving our solution to the conflict. >> kayleigh: the white house press secretary is essentially blaming israel. let's pull up this tweet, i saw this yesterday, it was jarring. they said every red dot are

sirens and israel over the last 30 minutes. israel is under attack. and what is the white house doing equivocating, as morgan said. over to you. >> emily: that's exactly right and that somehow is feeding into the narrative that israel is somehow "provoked" and "deserve" the wrath of hamas. i'd like to seat my time to morgan and have her explain the intersection and difference between hamas as a terrorist organization versus israel which is a state and why we are receiving such a different narrative, such a mixed message from, for example, so many congress members like rashida tlaib and alexandria ocasio-cortez somehow equating the two is one in the same, as equal players on the international front, morgan? >> morgan: the bottom line is that hamas is a designated terrorist organization from the

state department and israel is our ally. somehow we were supposedly questioning our alliances are not working well with our allies which was hogwash and that is what we are actually potentially seeing here. there was a strong statement by nancy pelosi and others in the democrat party, i will give her credit for that but when you look at the loudest voices of rashida tlaib and others, what they, bernie sanders, what they are saying is they are essentially siding with a terrorist organization, that is attacking our allies, that is the definition of not standing by your alliances and it is dangerous and we will see violence throughout the middle east if this policy continues. >> kayleigh: meanwhile you have climate envoy john kerry sharing israel state secrets with the iranians, reportedly. up next, it's not just panic at the pumps. drivers are actually coming to blows on the long gas lines, this is amazing. stick with us.

kayleigh, i'd like to start with you on this because this is allp of the white house administration doubling down on their commitment to green energy. i'm going to play for you some comments by secretary of energy granholm to get your thoughts on the other side. >> yeah, i mean, we are obviously all in on making sure that we meet the president's goals of getting to 100% clean electricity by 2035 and a net zero carbon emissions by 2050. if you drive an electric car this would not be affecting you, clearly. >> kayleigh: these people are absolutely amazing. people are having massive gasoline shortages, talking to people canceling their road trips, 71% of gas stations don't have gas in charlotte and she makes this quip about electric cars when they are directly responsible for what is happening?

it's not just the colonial pipeline, it's not just this problem, it's a trifecta, he describes it well where you had inflation, prices are already rising because of biden and has been john spending, a moratorium on gas, new leases on federal land and then of course the cancellation of the keystone pipeline. jen psaki jen psaki said yesterday, hey, we may cancel more pipelines. that is as literally we are coming back from break and john kerry goes out there and says, pipelines are more energy efficient than trucking oil across the country. so we learn all this, it's such a mixed messaging and for her to make that clip as americans are hurting i thought was totally uncalled for. >> emily: bucks, kayleigh mentions the compounding factors as well as the intersection factors, these are what affects ordinary americans, the effect on flights and on because in plants, this is a very real issue that affects americans in

many different ways, what are your thoughts on this and what we all need to know? >> buck: it seems like the biden administration just takes the wrong lessons from everything, that's something we've seen have been from the very beginning, they canceled the keystone xl pipeline biden's first day with an executive order which he didn't even talk about, so there is a clear, almost maniacal hostility from the mainstream democrats towards fossil fuels. i also want to ask the energy secretary where she thinks most of the electricity that goes to electric cars comes from. if not windmills. we see all this coming together, as it's been pointed out, this is a number of factors, its inflation rising, the consumer price index going up, or horrible jobs report last week, over 700,000 short of what was expected and we are spending trillions of dollars, people are starting to say, don't forget,

jimmy carter went to the naval academy and served his country and joe biden, i don't think he's got quite a handle on things that even carter did, we will see in time. be to morgan, the catalyst of this is a cyber attack so what are your concerns here? >> morgan: the cyber attack is certainly concerning, for a long time we've known that we have to protect our critical infrastructure in the united states and it's one of the reasons why you have to diversify energy supplies but we are in a position where we are energy independent, a major exporter and we are looking to do things that will change and challenge that status which would be bad for the economy, the inflation that buck just mentioned is really, you are going to see from the basic level, i have a friend who is in mining, they are seeing prices increase and they mine at the bottom level of the economy so they are going to in turn raise prices on the next supplier, so you come from a minor all the

way up to it affecting the price of your cell phone. behavioral economics, use people getting worried and going to the pump, you're going to take extra gas because you're worried that you're not going to have it, we are seeing prices increase for exports and people who are trying to move things in and out of the country. meanwhile we have a critical support shortage of laborers, in many of these jobs. what i'd really like to hear from the biden administration, what's the plan? i believe climate change is real and it's important to address but you can't try to address it at the expense of our energy independence. >> emily: harris, with all of the excellent questions raised by our colleagues, where's the leadership from the top down, where is biden on this? >> harris: we are not really sure where he might be but where are the people who are around them to help him know when a crisis is about to unfold. when you find out that in north carolina, kayleigh touch on this, as of 9:00 a.m.

eastern, 78% of gas stations in greenville, asheville, anderson, those are population for industry and businesses and families, when you find out 69% of their gas stations have run dry. when you see that that's happening and you don't take emergency action, yeah, they're putting some tankers on the road. you just saw him in an oval office the short time ago, he said i only want to talk about infrastructure. gas stations are infrastructure. i don't know many that run without electricity. you got a collision of energy points right there, and people fighting in line. if those people having to be democrats, bar the door in 2022. >> emily: the migrant search only getting worse as the border

>> harris: they are pouring into our country illegally and it's certainly not slowing down the lines of people with attempted border crossings now more than ten times higher than last year, skyrocketing from just 17,000 in april 2020 to nearly 180,000 this past april. and that's the highest number in two decades and now counties on the border and routes report seeing a spike in high-speed chases involving human smugglers and this one in texas is pretty disturbing, check this out. you can actually see a person falling out of a speeding truck trying to get away. right now we aren't sure if he jumped her if he was pushed by smugglers to slow down the police. either way, scary stuff. kayleigh?

>> kayleigh: it is quite scary and the increase we see in the number of apprehensions, 944% increase from the previous year. it's a 63% increase from the same deal at the trump administration where we saw that surge, this is incredible and for the children in particular, to have the highest number of children in federal custody is appalling for these kids, they are being put in emergency intake facilities, there are about 200 of them spanning a dozen states as i mentioned yesterday, the conditions are not good, there's no education, no recreational activities, no access to legal counsel and when health and human services was asked, do you have a legally enforceable standards at these facilities, they declined to answer which means no they do not. there's a whole lot of other facilities that filled up with no legally enforceable standards. >> harris: we've seen that, one of those border patrol

facilities, they will put them in hhs literally right next door, we've had lawmakers tell us that. you don't see them here but you do see them here, walk 2 feet. morgan, one of my favorite conversations, i love it when you talk about the deal that the former president trump made with countries far south of the border, the senate just had its first official visit through senator bill haggerty who joined "the faulkner focus" yesterday and he said look, those countries now are feeling the pressure of high crime because cartels are waiting for these people to get here, this group right here we know from yesterday, the majority coming from venezuela by boat, biplane, by other transportation, took them a while to get there, they are here now. your thoughts on what those other countries are going through and how we sure of those relationships? >> morgan: harris, it's not a surprise that it's yet another month of historic, number of illegal immigrants, they are at

the border, it's not surprising because there have been no policies in place and they've been given the all clear, essentially, there's a rhetoric like oh, the border is closed but when you are very, very little vetting of these family units and they are immediately released into the united states, everyone knows that if the doors are open they can get in based on the policies that are here. we actually, i think after my maternity leave, the first show that i did a few months ago whenever i came back, we talked about this, harris, and i said i think that we should take them at their word that they believe that ice, we should get rid of it, whenever they say that they believe that illegal immigrants should be welcomed in this country. we keep assuming that they are going to pursue some sort of policy to actually mitigate the stream and flow of migrants at the border but they are not, they are continuing the policies that encourage them to come and

as kayleigh talked about, we have all these children, at least 21,000 unaccompanied children in these facilities. as the ap reported yesterday, these children have covid, they have lice, they don't have legal representation. tell me how this is humane, tell me how we have the aca with the northern triangle countries, agreements, the remain in mexico policy, tell me how that is inhumane yet allowing tens of thousands of children to be infested with lice and covid, that the biden administration is doing and that's somehow more humane? that doesn't add up to me. >> harris: you know, buck, as you look at these pictures as we have every day this week, we had a look down there and there've been some when border patrol were literally outnumbered. we watched it as a people come across and look, they are coming into this country, they say that the green light is on for them to come here.

they are emotional and exhausted when they get here, we know from our reporter talking with them. we understand some of the danger is that they are facing particularly on the way to get here and as morgan is talking about, all of that becomes extended to our reach and responsibility because we will not turn our hearts and minds away and eyes away from this. but is this the best way to grow legal immigration in america? legal is over there. >> well, they are coming across illegally the moment they enter, they are surrendering themselves, by the way. i was asked at the border a few weeks ago. >> harris: some of them are. not everybody is. >> buck: i understand. most of the numbers you are seeing are people who are actually flagging down border patrol in the issue with the getaways are those single adult males are also the people who are doing the drug running, the drugs that are infecting communities across the country,

the highest overdoses ever in this country last year. we all know there are a bunch of factors with air coming from south of our border. morgan's earlier point, we keep focusing on or rather the administration keeps focusing on processing. they need to focus on prevention, as people should not think they should come to this country, enter illegally and stay in violation of u.s. laws afterwards, that is the reality for a vast majority of people coming across right now which is why the numbers are so hot, it speaks for itself, the biden administration has no means of stopping this other than saying we are going to send more processing and more agents to allow the flow to continue into the united states illegally. >> harris: well, they sent to fema but will they send the vice president or anybody from the white house now from the vice president up down there? biden, anybody? okay. >> i got down there, it's not that hard. >> harris: [laughs] all right, we will move on. i'm glad you did. the biden white house defending

it's commendable to see these g.o.p. governors standing on principle on an issue, it's not easy to reject free money and it's sometimes unpopular.

>> emily: right, but there's a long term incentive and investment into their own people, they are investing in the independence and in their own citizens to make good decisions and stimulate their own economies, in sharp contrast to, for example, school boards in san francisco capitulating to the union's opening for one day so they become eligible for their state-funded $12 billion, the irony of which is that the day they are bringing back 2 out of 15 high school seniors in the city is to talk about jobs and their future careers so maybe they can direct them towards the millions unfilled jobs around the country. >> kayleigh: right, and morgan, there is a very interesting flip on the democrat party on this issue, i think biden has a very big problem on his hands, he says there's no evidence these checks are incentivizing people to stay home but a democrat out of new hampshire up for reelection next year says the exact opposite, that these checks actually do play a role and in fact that we need to look into how to tweak them, that is a democrat in his own party.

could this backfire on democrats in 2022? >> morgan: yes because i think there's a such a stark contrast between red and blue states. if you look at these red states, the messages come i get vaccinated, get back to work and get back to school and they've been doing that for about a year now especially in our home state of florida. so what you have is this situation in a lot of blue states where people feel like they have to live in this never-ending pandemic environment. if they would just look to many of these states that are giving back this money, unemployment in almost all of these states is under 5%, alabama was the highest at 6.3%, about 8.1 million job openings i think around the end of march so there are jobs in this country, there are vaccines in this country. open up our schools, open up our jobs and get back to work just like we are in these red states. >> kayleigh: exactly, but fear not, senate majority leader chuck schumer has an explanation for what's going on, let's hear from him.

>> when you study if there are many, many reasons that there is a shortage of workers. some of it is because trump cut off immigration so severely, we have half the number of immigrants that came in. >> kayleigh: buck, is that the greatest misdirection of all time? >> well if you are looking for a fantastic misdirection, chuck schumer is definitely our guide. democrats have a problem unfolding, not just with this but with other issues that are all coming together where the obvious is something they reject. if people are getting paid to stay home rather than work, guess what, they are not going to work. these are obvious things playing out in the economy but democrats do not see it that way, chuck schumer is there to do a little bit of fuzzy math. >> kayleigh: harris, this all comes at a time when we know that the people hardest hit, not reentering the job for us, the

schools are staying closed as well, you know being a mom of two yourself just how hard that can be, trying to work well they are at home. to be when i got educated on this a little bit from several business owners, one of them last hour from tennessee who joined senator marsha blackburn from this discussion. we are aware of the issues, we are not really hearing that one as often as you would think. they bumped up their hourly wages, these small businesses are coming back from the pandemic like the rest of us so their workers are people that they are depending on. we have so many openings right now. $35 an hour with bonuses, trying to get people back, child care in but if you can give people a way to earn some money maybe they can put that into their own stream at home, hire people on

their own to help out with those other issues. with every one job in the state of tennessee, five openings. how else to explain it? these are republican-led states, many of them. i agree with morgan and buck. look around, people wanted to get back to work. >> kayleigh: is amazing. coming up next, one parent's masterful takedown of critical race theory. >> you cannot tell me what is or is not racist, look at me. ♪ ♪ of life. the journey is why they ride. when the road is all you need, there is no destination. uh, i-i'm actually just going to get an iced coffee. well, she may have a destination this one time, but usually -- no, i-i usually have a destination. yeah, but most of the time, her destination is freedom. nope, just the coffee shop.

commit hatred or injustice. it's to communicate without deceiving people. we don't need your agreement, we want action. what we asked for today is to ban crt. think twice before you indoctrinate the such racist theory. you cannot tell me what is or is not racist. look at me. i had to come down here to tell you to your face that we are coming together and we are strong, this will not be the last. respectfully. >> harris: and that's our show, ladies and gentlemen. seriously. she basically said it all. a crt. emily? >> emily: it's just remarkable, i'm brought to the multi-years where this is sort of elevated to the public and the rollout in california, the largest group that was concerned over this curriculum are not the cis, whites, hetero males of

people .2 and that narrative. it was segregating all of them and demonizing a certain group of people and told of their children will be worse for the wear, that's what caused the negative strife. i also point to martha maccallum's recent interview, where she defended not only critical race theory but also deflected and that was my biggest takeaway there, she kept pointing to it as this is what it actually means, teaching history accurately and teaching children about slavery and what happens but she totally deflated on the point that it's actually a form of brainwashing and segregation that this parent so eloquently mentioned. >> harris: either we question if there is an agenda there are just ignorance of the facts. we have to double down with her and ask her. buck, your thoughts? >> buck: i think it's good that conservatives are finally really seeing and understanding just what is being taught in schools. we've left this to the left for

years, for decades, really and i think in part this is because people who were doing these zoom classes at home, it's easier for parents to have some idea of what kind of indoctrination is going on. here in new york city where i am and other places across the country are saying this is the marxist madness that they are trying to brainwash her 10-year-old with coming your 12-year-old in the moment they ask very basic questions about it they are treated like that's further evidence of the need for more crt. it feels quite soviet in its approach and i'm glad people are understanding that they have to stand up and speak out about this, otherwise these will become factories of leftism more than they already are. parents have to take action. >> harris: yeah, you saw that one parent, she says she's not the only one. and they are looking forward to more meet and greets. all right, you can never have too many friends, right? a new study is debunking decades of old findings that you can't have more than 150 meaningful relationships.

white house. >> well, first of all, the conference will decide but i don't think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election, i think that is all over with. we are sitting with the president today. from that point of view i don't think that's a problem. >> the $2 trillion packer to give or take, raising corporate tax. the $100 billion on infrastructure, you don't want to raise corporate tax. how do you come to an agreement? >> you won't find any republicans raising taxes, i think that's the worst thing you can do with the economy when you watch inflation. the natural gas price has not been this high since president biden was vice president. you're watching food costs go

up, housing costs, lumbar costs, cars have not moved this high month over month, so raising taxes will be the biggest mistake you can make, remember the economy we had when we lowered taxes to 3.5% unemployment, everybody having opportunity regardless of where you are, some of the best employment we have, that's a nonstarter. when we walked into the room, i felt that was productive, i felt all of us as leader and the president and vice president sitting out and saying, let's first decide what is the definition of infrastructure. if we can all decide that then we can work on what we need to spend. that was productive and i felt coming out that's where we were ending up. >> yeah. we are not interested in reopening the 2017 tax bill. we've both made that clear to the president. that's our redline. we believe that in february of

2020 we had the best economy we've had in 50 years, we believe that was a major reason for it. and so from my perspective, this discussion about the way forward on infrastructure will not include revisiting the 2017 tax bill. >> you know why you get the question? you married a girl from bakersfield. you definitely married up. >> we know the president spent a lot of time on infrastructure with you guys today. you're talking about the border, the crisis in the middle east, supply issues right now. are you satisfied with the leadership? >> look, i thought the meeting today was productive, i know he wanted to have the meeting on infrastructure and i wanted to

take an opportunity to talk about the concerns i'm hearing around the country. the portability, the price of gas and crisis at the border coming every single day, the ability to get people to go back to work. and of the schools. the millions of kids that are not back at school, i took the opportunity to raise those with the president, the president engaged on those topics. i'd like to have more and see some action on that. i'm very concerned on what's happening in israel, the president did touch on that the beginning, he brought that up. i come in the president his comments yesterday, israel's ability to defend themselves and they should be. >> let me add just one thing, on the issues of inflation and getting people back to work. what i did last week was to have roundtables with businesses of all size, including hospitals to say it what's your biggest problem? number one, they can get people to come back to work and number

two, inflation. exactly the same thing that kevin was hearing and others are hearing around the country. i think that a direct result of flooding the zone was an extraordinary amount of money. i will say this, there's great excitement as state government and local counties have never seen anything like what headed their way with this amount of money that's coming in. hopefully we can capture some of that to make this infrastructure package go forward in a way that everybody would like to see it go bottom line, based on what you heard from the president today,? >> i think there's an opportunity

be able to make reforms not decades away. make faster. what i really want to work on is turning the. the other thing to you have to understand, those numbers harde. that's what we have to incentivize people to get back to work and get the economy moving harder. the inflation ant of what congress has recently

worth less. the affordability is more difficult not at all. no, i'm looking forward to being all very much. >> is there room in her couple can party >> you are listening to leadership in the house and aftg with president biden there as ie american people walked in trying this is a highly anticipated moment and highly anticipated s.
