♪ ♪ otezla. show more of you. >> kayleigh: fox news alert, president biting pushing an all-new taxpayer spending bonanza as he's said to introduce a 6 trillion, with a t, dollar deposit for the coming fiscal year. boosting spending to the highest level since world war ii and ramp up government spending to a quarter of our entire economy. speak about the way, we had no problem passing a true trillion dollar tax plan when the top 1%

that wasn't paid for at all, just increase the debt to trillion dollars, every time i talk about tax cuts for working-class people, it's "oh, my god, what are we going to do?" , well we are going to take back some of the 1% money and make them pay for it. >> kayleigh: this despite economist warnings about prices rising for the american people and a report that president biden's budget will let tax cuts on the middle-class expire. this is "outnumbered," and kayleigh mcenany in here today my cohost harris faulkner, host of "kennedy" on fox business, kennedy. dr. nicole saphier and in the virtual senate speak, david avella as president biden pushes a $6 trillion budget that could radically alter our economy, the media was apparently more concerned with finding out the president's favorite ice cream flavor, you

heard that right. take a listen to one reporter's first questions as biden stopped by store in cleveland yesterday. speak on mr. president, what did you order? >> chocolate chocolate chip. >> kayleigh: wow, we will get to the founding press corps in a moment but david, i'd like to start with you, this is pretty big news about a direct tax increase on the middle class, you know, biden promised all throughout the campaign at the middle class would not see a tax increase, he's considering rolling back the trump tax cut and letting that expire in 2025 so a family of four making $75,000 would see a $2,000 price reduction and if you let that rollback it is a direct contradiction to what he promised, has he forgotten the age-old "read my lips, no new taxes" that george w. bush and the aftermath of that lost him the presidency.

>> what the president needs to do is explain why he wants investments to go to china and ireland and those countries with low corporate income tax rates. that's where the investment will go back to which we had reversed when congress and president trump cut tax rates. he also should explain to the middle-class family whose taxes are going to go up why they don't get to go to the ice cream shop and get to enjoy and lastly, every congressional democrat who voted for the tax cut in 2017 should have to answer, were they wrong to do it in 2017? why are they now going to vote to increase taxes, were they wrong then or were are they wrong now in voting to increase taxes? >> kayleigh: is a good question and kennedy, on top of this direct tax increase you have come as david mentioned, the corporate tax increase and even president obama said i know a high corporate tax rate

affects workers, you know, a 1% increase in corporate tax, you see a .5% decrease in wages. if biden wants to raise the corporate tax rate by 8%, the american people can expect their pay check to see a 4% reduction. the three i don't understand the president doesn't see the cause and effect relationship between the tax cut and the explosion in the economy, unemployment was down, businesses were booming, new businesses were starting and the corporate tax rate at that point, a big barrier to entry for new corporations and remember, corporations can be a husband and wife, it can be a group of friends, is not necessarily target and often times these giant corporations have workarounds because they donate enough money and you're absolutely correct, every time you raise those tax rates it means corporations are not able to hire new workers. that's what has to happen in order to keep the economy

cooking. you have to have those small businesses that have the mobility to hire new people. and you look at all the ways that people are going to be punished with this, if you're letting those tax cuts expire that means, yes, those taxes will go up and that means that the president was lying on the campaign trail to say that the only people going to feel the tax hike with those making $400,000 a year, no one's ever going to make that much money with the economy like this. >> kayleigh: dr. nicole saphier, before we get to the press corps, the american people are sitting here looking at a direct tax increase, a reduction in wages and on top of all of that, massive, massive inflation, april is the highest month in 12 years that we've seen with inflation and even larry summers interviewers know him as a clinton and obama alumni, larry summers, not a conservative came out and said the policies are overreaching in the biden administration and inflation is

a real worry. speak to your right and larry was a part of the clinton and obama administration's official so it's interesting that biden is not listening to him. listen, we're just coming out of a major crisis where we had one in three working-class americans take a pay cut, not to mention the u.s. census bureau set about 83% of households had a very difficult time paying and affording our basic necessities. now we are saying that not only are they going to get taxed more, they are going to bring les home but as david was mentioning, when you raise the corporate tax rate, they are going to be moving companies out of the country, we already saw how dependent we are on for a nation when it comes to our medical supplies, testing supplies and so forth. we should be focusing on how to have more business in the united states and not encouraging it to go elsewhere. >> kayleigh: and the press should be focused on asking questions, they are not him to become somewhat of a trend, we saw that sound bite of their question, the one time they get

to ask a question and ask about ice cream. let's listen to a sound bite from last week, they had a rather similar, jocular demeanor with the president just last week, let's take a listen. >> mr. president, can we ask you a quick question? >> not unless you get in front of this because i step on it. [laughs] >> kayleigh: harris, if we play the rest of that sound bite, you watch the president drive off and the press corps after threatened to be run over letter really begins to cackle just as they did in the aftermath of the ice cream visit. >> harris: look, if it's working for you you're just going to keep doing it. if you can distract the media and apparently you don't even have to try hard to make them giggle, make them laugh, make them get off track, then he'll just do it over and over again and now, i mean, we are missing

a couple things. first of all, he's eating ice cream he's not actually acknowledging the fact that if you're fully vaccinated you can roll outside without a mask and if you can take one off if you're going to eat two scoops of ice cream. if you listen to the video really carefully and listen to the video you just played with that reporter and the electric car he was driving, those questions were important. that one on the board day was about israel and the one that started right there, she got shouted over, she was asking about the january 6 commission and other things and trying to go to the reporter's job. now he's getting help from the reporters who would shout over the go questions. i do have a quick thing to say to dr. safire, though. on my program last hour, he said we are ignoring the $3 trillion that are an ad in for medicaid and medicare and social services, so on and so forth so

the real cost of biden's plan would really be around $9 trillion, right? and you don't even talk about the public option budget with biden says he wants, too. i thought about you with that question and it all figures in, they are never going to get there, kayleigh? they're never going to ask those questions because he's holding up chocolate chocolate chip. >> kayleigh: it's a credible, you make a really interesting point, he's been asked the question twice, he was also asked it days before the election when he was walking from an ice cream shop and harris, you made an interesting point, i didn't even catch that that there was a really serious question at the top of that and the reporter was shouted over, is it your thought that there are serious reporters, i certainly encountered some serious ones with the overall demeanor shadows it? >> harris: you are the exception when you are in that crowd, at least you are now because apparently it the now-fully vaccinated temporarily no mask wearing president comes

down carrying two scoops, that's enough for you to get off your game. but i never paint everybody with one brush, there are always exceptions and i can see the back of the head of the young woman asking and i can hear her voice and i was like wait, wait a minute, this person had a question but you couldn't hear it because somebody said, "what flavor ice cream is that?" and that gets big play, i guess, i don't know. i'm hungry all the time but i can still ask good questions. >> kayleigh: especially at lunch time we could all use a little bit of ice cream and some good questions from the press corps. just ahead, a "new york times" reporter says it's racist to suggest the coronavirus may have originated in wuhan, china, despite new evidence that lab workers got sick in 2019. sender ted cruz calling her out. that's next. ♪ ♪ my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough!

using a musical >> harris: all right, let's give you some breaking news with the president of the united states right now in the state of virginia, also joined by governor, controversy there, delivering remarks just d of the holiday weekend on the pandemic, he's just said at least 155 million americans have gotten one shot, that's about 62%. a 75% of all is are fully vaccinated now, and they are both talking about the significant progress virginia has made in the fight against covid have a 19 and a partnership with the biden-harris administration, the first lady also in attendance, the event in alexandria, virginia. you see them posing for some pictures and talking to people who are in that audience. wanted to give you a look at what's happening ahead of this

memorial day weekend. a "new york times" reporter has sparked outrage with a tweet claiming the theory that the coronavirus originated from a lab in wuhan, china, is racist. she tweeted thursday, someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit it's racist roots. but alas, that day is not yet here. "that reporter who mainly come from iris then deleted a tweet saying it was "badly phrased." senator ted cruz joined the outcry with this. "this is the science reporter for "the new york times." she called herself an investigative reporter covering covid-19. she just isn't willing to investigate or report on anything that might hurt her tender feelings. dr. safire, i come to you. >> l, harris, the most plausible theory when you have any outbreak, natural all over with

animals and humans was to get a come of that happens. but you cannot deny the coincidence and the strange occurrences that went on at the wuhan institute of virology just 8 miles down the road from this wet market and it is a mecca, the coronavirus research lab of the world and when you actually started looking at certain things, you know, a lot went on so just being able to ask those questions was very important because lab leaks happen, this wouldn't be the first time it happened, it happened in china, russia, the united states with a lot of different pathogens so you have to ask those questions but immediately because president trump mentioned it, anti-trump's and turned it into something that it wasn't and anybody who gave any credence to that theory was deemed antiscience >> harris: including you. before we move on, i want to ask the team to prop up what they can in support of this because last july, "dr. safire said she

did not believe that fauci engineer the coronavirus but she also said that there were several theories about its origins and endorse the theory of covid has a 19 being man-made within a laboratory. a theory for which there is no evidence." they did have to take that down and take it back. >> well, harris, the coronavirus that's been circulating, that lab had the most genetically similar coronavirus in it as the one circulating today which had not been found in the wild. and we know based on their published research that they were genetically modifying certain coronavirus is with similar mutations that are in .all of those can happen in nature but still to ask those questions and because i know history can repeat itself and i know accidental lab leaks can happen that's why i said i couldn't say with certainty that

it wasn't from a lab. >> harris: you know, kayleigh, i immediately thought of you, listening to general keane yesterday talk about, 75 labs in china that the united states knows about, some of them weaponized, certain biotechnology, and he said that this lab in wuhan was one of them. it was not clear if this was one of the viruses they were trying to do that with but that they do that at that lab. >> kayleigh: you are exactly right and look, i want to say this and i will get to that point here, the press' role in the snow that we know it's an incredible theory, we've known it since the president of the united states, former president of the united states donald trump told us this last year, the press called him a conspiracy theorist and even in the wake of this finding by "the wall street journal," the intelligence community that people were sick at the lab, even in the wake of that some

reporters can't bring themselves to admit the credibility of that theory, like jonathan lemaire who said president trump is engaging in revisionist history by saying he was citing the lab is the origin. it's not revisionist history, it's called the truth and maggie abraham said it's president trump's but we didn't believe him because he never showed as evidence. mike pompeo came out and said "here's the evidence." he laid out three points, the six members of the laboratory and exactly as you just said, that this institute has had ties to working on military projects with the chinese government. so there was evidence, the reporters just chose to ignore it. >> harris: and i want to get tomorrow what was going on with the media, david, i will come to you on this, cbs reported yesterday and made this confession about the development surrounding the wuhan lab leak theory, watch. "it's a vindication of sorts for

trump-era officials who long argued they believed that this virus originated in a lab only to be dismissed in part because of some of their anti-china rhetoric and you say what? >> david: it has to first be noted that you have been on this since day one, harris, in trying to get to the bottom of it and find answers. the question for our country and of the may want to start asking president biden this, what steps is he willing to take if it is discovered that this was intentionally done by china? are we going to throw them out of the stock market? are we going to quit taking investments from them, are we going to seek to sabotage their biological research? what steps is president biden willing to take if china did this intentionally to cause a world pandemic? >> harris: maybe we have an idea, kennedy, thank you for acknowledging that, my twitter feed looks like a sticker box because a government was posting

stickers. stick a cdc sticker on it and dr. siegel with our team just said keep asking your questions, don't back down. so, kennedy, when you look at where we've come in the information, there were certain things that we really did know enough about to ask questions and when you shutdown the media from asking questions, you do so endanger the public. i wonder if we could have asked the questions even before we really knew what we were dealing with about china but words like "xenophobic" would pop up even though they were fact-based, evidence-based type questions. >> kennedy: what did dr. fauci know about this research and what he know about weaponizing certain viruses with the china steam at communist chinese military particularly in that lab? there was a lot more that had been gleaned by intelligence, the cdc, the nih and dr. fauci's institute and they were not

forthcoming and they were very adamant that this was animal to human transmission and if that is not the case, not only does china have to be held accountable, and i talked about this last night on my fox business show, we should not as an international community be granting them the olympics because they have said, china has said they are not going to participate in further investigations with the world health organization, they are done, they've done enough. they have not done enough because all these questions remain so what are we going to do to make sure this doesn't happen again, we don't know what else is in those other labs and that should terrify people. because this was, in terms of the virus, juiced up in rand paul's language, this is pretty mild so i don't want to see the viruses escape those labs in the future and also in the united states, i want to

know what people like dr. fauci knew and when did they know it and when did they feel it was okay to lie to us and let 100s of thousands of people die in this country? >> harris: look, kennedy, we got a little bit about the president with you yesterday and david, to your point, it was breaking news during this hour of the president was talking about this topic, asked about it and whether or not he was released the 90 day review want to take a look at the origins as best they can because you know, has reported on the panel, china is not exactly saying come on in. and he said, yeah, he will release that unless there's something in it that he was unaware of. so my question would be, david, what do you already know that you're not telling us? last words. >> david: is a great question and that's why secretary pompeo wanted to investigate it and others wanted to investigate it and finally we are going to get an investigation and maybe americans will get some answers.

more importantly, all the more reason why medical supplies and prescription medicines need to be made here in the united states. >> kennedy: the evidence is gone at this point, i hate to break it to people but is not there anymore. >> harris: yeah, decoupling from china particularly on pharmaceuticals and vacuuming up potentially all the ppe as we were all trying to get it because they already knew it was coming. dr. safire, you've written a book called "panic attack" and we are going to talk about it a little bit later this hour because you really delved into some of the issues that americans have questions about from the very beginning and think you for all of your questions from the beginning because without us doing those things who knows where we will be. we will move on. new video appearing to show radar footage of the ufos swarming the navy ship. as we anxiously await the pentagon's report, aliens of long been movie fodder, plus,

it's because i was pretty much perfectly zero zero. >> 5 yards. >> kayleigh: investigative filmmaker says the click verify the prior video he released of the same incident with the earlier footage showing a mysterious object flying over the ship before disappearing into the pacific ocean and as we get a look at more sightings, officials warn that these objects appear to be far more advanced than our aircraft. harris, starting with you, now we have president obama who says ufos exist, you are a republican national intelligence formerly john ratcliffe saying basically the same, and now we are hearing that they might be far more advanced than u.s. aircraft, are you concerned? >> harris: what i am concerned about is really what the

unidentified portion really means, i think it's really cool and fun to think that things may be coming here from another world. what i would be worried about is our enemies doing some stuff because it's unidentified flying objects, it doesn't say necessarily that they came from a different planet. so we do know that we have some haters and when you look at the request on some of the markings of these you know that some in the media must be aware of this, in and the military is always working on things of our enemies or if they are from another world let's hope they're friendly and if they are our enemies trying to fly faster than we do, let's find out as much as we can and if that's the case, you don't have to tell us, keep it to yourselves because we want to be able to fight them if we have to, those enemies on the ground, on earth who didn't come from another nation. or another planet. >> kayleigh: that's a great point. it's a really great nuance there, kennedy, you had the head

of x-files come out and say that he's a delighted at this news, ufos have been a subject of interest of his for a long time in the former creator of "men in black" came out and said this is a little scary. are you delighted are you scared? >> kennedy: i think it's fantastic yes if you are able to traverse light years through space, most of which is still a complete mystery to us, dark matter and dark energy, we don't know how those things behave and the laws of physics as we know them, these craft would have to violate that in order to travel from, it's the closest star. it is physically impossible in terms of what we are able to accomplish. if they've got craft this advanced, they've got weapons as advanced and they are not using them and i truly believe that intelligence will evolve to something closer to goodness than distraction.

if for no other reason then for preservation so i am optimistic this and also we've got to hang an tempur-pedic mattress is from the moon mission so imagine what we can get with alien technology, i can't wait. flying cars are just the tip of the iceberg. >> kayleigh: i love the optimism, kennedy. dr. safire, do you have the same optimism? >> nicole: i'll be honest, i'm with harris, i don't like the unidentified portion. right now, we can even check ourselves with information from china and our southern border isn't even secure. i want to know what these are because i'm not very confident that we can protect ourselves. i like to see more information. >> kayleigh: david, quick answer from you. what do you think we see in this report from the u.s. government? >> david: harris is spot on, this is two countries telling each other something, it's either us telling china and russia we have a new webinar at them telling us they have a new

webinar that the military has done in the past, they don't let us know they have something for ten or 15 years as they've done with fighter jets in the past, it's likely one of those three scenarios. >> kayleigh: we shall see and we shall all wait with baited breath for that report. just ahead, the cofounder of black lives matter stepping down amidst criticism over her luxury real estate portfolio. she insists the division was preplanned but has the organization lost all credibility? ♪ ♪ (vo) i am living with cll and i am living longer. thanks to imbruvica. imbruvica is a prescription medicine for adults with cll or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. it will not work for everyone. imbruvica is the #1 prescribed oral therapy for cll, and it's proven to help people live longer.

group's foundation. she's insisting for exit has nothing to do with what she calls "right-wing attacks on her character" which likely refers to the controversy surrounding her $3.2 million real estate portfolio. that price tag has led some critics to ration what percentage of black lives matter organization donations went to social justice programs. her homes include the recent purchase of a $1.4 million property in los angeles. don't forget in 2019 a los angeles-based jail reform group led by patrisse cullors reportedly spent $26,000 on meetings at a luxury malibu resort. kayleigh, she's a marxist. can you make that? >> kayleigh: she has soft described as a trained marxist and one would think a trained marxist who has formerly been the understudy should know that

they should act like a marxist in their personal life. the questions raised for her organization are legitimate, they brought in $90 million last year, $90 million into of local blm branches saying "we received little to no money" and she claims, well, we haven't seen an influx like the $90 million, not only arrived this year. we don't know if that's true, they've been opaque with their finances, this is the first time in their eight year history that they've disclosed what they've made so i want to see the other seven years and why these organizations wouldn't get any cash. >> harris: that nails it from you because when you said that, immediately, it's like, will you only just got an influx. were you racking up the kind of debt that you can make up now, she said she never had a salary but we now know that she had $20,000 paid to her over the years so did she get a windfall to make up the difference in seven years?

>> kayleigh: exactly, it's a aworth asking. we know it's a time donations are coming in from people like jay-z, prince before he passed away donated to the organization. i'm pretty sure she was flush with cash. >> harris: kennedy, it will take an investigation to tell us the details on all of this but what we don't need to investigate is what's happened in american city since the death of george floyd and how much black lives matter the movement was at the heart of the peaceful protesting and we saw the insurgency of others who were not peaceful from all different places and tore it up and i don't remember seeing the actual organization on the ground. i don't know, correct me on that if i'm wrong. >> kennedy: that's why there's a lot of confusion, because people who believe in black lives matter and believe in the mission, they donate money and they donate money hoping that it helps their city and hoping that you know, there is equity at

some point and there is not when are led by marxist because this is what happens with marxism, this is no manifestation, you think capitalism only benefits the 1% of the top? no, no, no, that's communism. look at any communist regime. it is that people at the very, very top, the 1% to get a buy the homes. in the soviet union they get to go to the nicest stores. they get the choice, everyone else has to wait in line and all you have to do is keep a group of people really, really angry and it keeps the pyramid scheme going. and i think she's realized that capitalism is so much more fun. she had to leave the organization, she can't be an outspoken marxist because you can't keep buying property because you're going to have someone take it away and redistribute it. >> harris: well, and david, she's got a new book coming out,

its culture. she grew up with her dad visiting japan, and bringing her back anecdotes and gifts then she wanted to bring japan to l.a. good for her and i'm glad she didn't apologize. before there is so much inspiration to be taken, it is an incredible district in tokyo, the young people take their fashion from us, they take inspiration from everything and, you know, there's so many pop stars, nicole, who have been accused of cultural appropriation but what is the line between inspiration and appropriation and who decides? eat you and that's the thing, kennedy, why all of a sudden is this cultural appropriation? what about cultural appreciation. clearly in gwen stefani's case, that is what it is. a lot of these pop stars travel internationally and pick up things everywhere they go and they may be showing it as a sign of support for their international supporters. i'm so glad she pushed back, not

that i would expect her to do any less. unlike seth rogen who recently just kind of rolled over for the woke mob but they have to continue to push back like this because this cancel culture is coming after them when we have far bigger issues that we are dealing with and stuff like this. >> kennedy: we do and if, david, if you are telling people they can only say the next day in these narrow lanes it is so limited. you can think of your favorite artists, whether they are painters or musicians and if you tell them you can only paint faces, you can only paint sunsets, you can only perform music using these three chords, it's so limiting and creativity is so important to human beings that we actually might devolve and cease to exist. your thoughts? >> david: you are exactly on point and when the critics want to go from "we are the world,"

the 2020 version, not the one you probably covered when you are on mtv about an updated version, we celebrate diversity to one where we have, unless you are of the culture you can dress or dan says that culture and its silly and certainly much more attention is being given to those who want to tell us what to do and divide us when we are a pretty united country, outside of the bubble of "the new york times." >> kennedy: absolutely, go find new bubbles. more "outnumbered" in just a moment. stay with us. ♪ ♪
