an save. >> harris: mass confusion in the fight against covid as a delta variant fuels of rise in new cases. americans are now facing a perfect storm of conflicting health guidance, controversial vaccine mandates and mask requirements from one state to the next, even city to city. all of this just in time for back-to-school season. you're watching "outnumbered." i am harris faulkner. here today, my cohost kayleigh

mcenany, fox news contributor and new york city physician dr. nicole saphier, host of "parks" on fox nation, abby hornacek and in the central virtual seat, chris bedford, senior editor at up with the federalists." great to see everybody today paid we have to bite down on something hard and just take a moment because it's about to get confusing. one of the big questions on every parent's mind right now is "does my kid need a mask to go back to school?" and florida governor ron desantis announced he would withhold state funding from school districts that forced children to wear masks. calling it harmful to children's well-being. however, dr. anthony fauci predicts there will be more or mask mandates. not fewer. watch. >> as soon as the fda fully approves the vaccine, you're going to see the empowerment of

local enterprises giving mandates that could be colleges, universities, places of business, a whole variety and i strongly support that. protect the kids with a shield of vaccinated people. the kids that can't get vaccinated, that's the reason why we are having a strong recommendation that in the schools everybody should wear a mask, whether or not you are an vaccinated. >> harris: i don't live on the east coast, i live in arizona and last monday one of the largest school districts in the state, school kicked off in this week it kind of rolls on, more schools come on board and when i tell you this is on every local news every hour, chris, best believe it and none of it, none of it is with any consistency. none of it! it's all over the road, what are parents to do? >> christopher: i live in washington, d.c., on capitol hill and in order to swing over to virginia today which is about a 15 minute

drive, i took the highway which brought me into maryland and virginia both of which are states that don't have any mask mandates for the public. in washington, d.c., just across the river where i live they have those mask mandates because it's a completely and totally a patchwork. what fauci here is talking about are some kind of frightening things because the fda approval that everyone is waiting for is a different story. there's a lot of case law that says you have to vaccinated children in public schools with certain vaccinations that are fda approved. this is not fda approved. we don't have the information on this yet, we don't have the long-term effects and we do know this which is according to john hopkins study, for the u.s. government there is not a single death rate for children who are severely, severely ill from covid, unless you have something like leukemia your child is going to be otherwise safe from this. it's kind of like this told him that makes it feel good even though the people in the schools are vaccinated and children are not risk it's really kind of twisted for them to be messing with team is messing with our

children this way. to be one of course, we pray for the children, some of them have situations that they are so young they haven't learned that they have a pre-existing condition yet. in those situations do live out there but i follow you on social media, doctor, and you've been saying those are rare cases, what isn't rare is this mass confusion. it's like a ride along with covid. >> dr. saphier: harris, it seems in the united states we are stuck in a purgatory of extremes. it's either do nothing and have a free-for-all or put all of our children in k and 95's until all eternity. neither are good ideas. but for me, harris, you know you are a mother, i am a mother, if the cdc and some of the media are not going to be defending our children because they are at the mercy of the lobby house teachers union, what are we -- who is defending our children? i can tell you, harris, again, it is devastating hearing

reports out of the sun belt area where you're having a lot of children hospitalized with covid have a 19 we also had to know rsv is rearing its ugly head. where is the cdc on that data, are they looking to see if it's rsv putting children into the hospitals? do they also have covid-19? what is a? why is the cdc completely incapable of providing us accurate data? if you turn on the tv you think that the delta variant is significantly more severe in children but the truth is that's not true, transmission is higher. it is much more contagious. more children are being exposed, more children are getting sick but the hospitalization rate is still extremely rare in children when it comes to covid-19 and kids and it's just frustrating, the fearmongering and panic inciting verbiage. >> harris: kayleigh, you're not a doctor but i love hearing you talk about how you had a

front row seat to history watching the nation's best epidemiologists and other experts put together operation warp speed to get us to the point where we have this great come as you called it, trump vaccine. and now we need some sort of leadership to take us forward, to understand the messaging coming out of this current administration, can you help? >> kayleigh: yeah, the biggest contributor to vaccine hesitancy is the joe biden administration. this talk of mandates, dr. fauci being all over the map on masks, first it's one, then it's two, then it zero, and i we are back to one. this contributes to people having distrust of the federal government, of the cdc, coming out and saying yes, we are considering a vaccine mandate only to walk it back moments later. when you have this new recommendation of masking indoors in high-intensity areas and you don't release the underlying data for that proposal, instead it's leaked by

the deep state in the cdc to "the washington post" and then days later you come out and corroborate that data. this messaging is all over the map, you have to be clear, you use the word, harris, you used a keyword, consistent. the trump administration was consistent, going back to july that kid should be in schools. the biden administration has been consistent about one thing and that is sacrificing our children at the altar of the teachers union and it is shameful, they should be consistent with the science which says kids should be back in school and masks are detrimental to emotional development, go ask the w.h.o., world health organization. go take a read of what they say with masks on kids. >> harris: the w.h.o. is saying nobody should get a booster until everybody has had their first shot. they are advocating for around the world, okay. where were they when china was leaking this stuff, allegedly come out of a lab? i have so many questions.

abby, you're up. >> abby: i'm not a mom yet but i often think about when i do have kids, what are they going to learn about this moment in time and their textbooks. what is that chapter going to say, right? and i often think again about the chapter about masks and children in schools. and i can just imagine right now my son or daughter coming up to me and saying, mom, you live through this, what can you tell us about this? and i'm going to say i have no idea because of what you guys sent, and consistent messaging and lack of information. if you google how effective masks are among children in preventing the spread of covid-19, the amount of articles that come up that give different information is just mind-boggling, no one knows where to look and you look at poll numbers and trust in the cdc and the fda and they are so low, no one knows where to turn. i actually had one of my best friends that humans are for the show, she said hey, i know

you work in the media and i know you have a brother who has a son and i'm really concerned, my pediatrician is telling me not to send my kids to day care, she told me to pull them out three months ago seo pediatrician saying one thing, expert saying another, the federal government saying something and the only cohesive thing i could find was a study out of england that is nothing to do with masks, just in general of how covid have a 19 affects kids, they found that 25 deaths of kids under the age of 18 and that's a monk i'm i should mention, a population of 12 million children. so of course you have the worries of the long-term effects of wearing masks for these kids, the psychological effects, they can develop mouth issues as they get older, the ones who wear glasses, they fogged up. so many issues, we need some cohesion here and to move forward with some accurate information so we can have dr. nicole saphier break it all down for us.

>> harris: yes, dr. nicole saphier is getting a workout, right? heading to flex everything to get us through all of this. before we go, just a real quick less art from you, doctor? b3 you know, abby, the most important thing that came out of that england study was the fact that they noted of the kids who are hospitalized or died from covid-19 or reportedly died from that, about 40% of them actually didn't die or were hospitalized from covid-19's of the numbers they had were not even accurate, the united states has not done their due diligence to do the same thing. >> harris: yeah, that's interesting. i was reading today and i said it during the 29, the amount of money that the nih and other agencies spent on covid from the big pot of cash they had to spend from was really minuscule and none of it apparently unmasking. my head just popped off but we will continue pay just ahead, a

chicago officer, and we will say her name here. shot and killed in the line of duty this weekend. the moving tribute from her fellow officers'. this is ella french, 29 years old, a new mom who just came back from maternity leave. some outspoken democrats are still pushing to defund the police. we will get into it, stay put. limu, you're an animal! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ people were afraid i was contagious. i felt gross. it was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. four years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections —some serious— and the lowered ability to fight them may occur.

i would like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans. one of the benefits that our country gives us as veterans is the powerful va home loan benefit. it lets us refinance 100% of our home's value, not just 80% like other loans. that's a big difference. and it can mean a lot more money for you and your family.

>> harris: we begin with the fox news alert, the city of chicago in morning as well as the nation over the loss of 29-year-old police officer ella french, shot and killed saturday night during a traffic stop pay one of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods, police gathered

to pray outside the hospital where officer french was treated treated. the first deadly shooting of a chicago police officer since 2018, her partner was also seriously wounded, hospitalized right now. and police say they arrested the three suspects of the shooting but that hardly takes away the pain of this tragic loss. police raised an american flag in honor of officer french and lined the streets to salute their colleague as the ambulance took her body away. the police superintendent reminding all of us of the sacrifice these men and women make. >> they come to work willing to run toward danger, toward gunfire. and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to save the lives of perfect strangers. >> harris: well, despite all

of that, some democrats such as squad member congresswoman cori bush are still pushing hard to defund the police, even as critics point out that congresswoman pays upwards of $70,000 for her own private security. >> i have private security because my body is working on this planet right now so if i end up spending $200,000, if i spend ten more dollars on it, you know what? i get to be here to do the work so suck it up and defining the police has to happen. we are still fighting the same fight, we are still fighting to save black lives. when we are adding more money to the police, we are still dying. >> harris: so kayleigh, it's a disease, this confusion for some democrats, what in the world is she talking about? her life matters so she's got to spend money but she wants to take money away so that other people's lives don't matter,

apparently. >> kayleigh: her body matters, of course her body matters but so do the 86 individuals who took a bullet, 11 of whom succumbed to those wounds fatally including ella french, this beautiful, beautiful 29-year-old officer who'd been with the force just a few years. her brother saying that she had a big heart, she's always been a person of integrity, she someone who did the right thing when no one was looking, she deserves to be here now. it's not defund our police, it is support our police because i can tell you, what ella french has done for this country, she put her life on the line, took to the streets every day, try to protect those 86 individuals who got shot this weekend, what she's done for this country as a whole heck of a lot more than what cori bush has done surrounded by tens of thousands of dollars in armed security guards calling to defund the police and the communities that suffer are the very community she professes to try to help, she is not helping them one iota. >> harris: chris bedford, talk

to me about the politics of this moment for democrats and perhaps an opportunity for those who would be the opponents to democrats. >> christopher: congresswoman cori bush has the interesting distinction of actually managing to be the stupidest person on the squad. what i love about that entire group of people, aoc and her and others who speak up as they actually speak their minds, they will tell you the truth. they are not going to sugarcoat it, they say yeah, i get private security, you don't because my body matters where you have aoc coming out, her former chief of staff coming out and saying the green new deal is about remaking our society fundamentally, that's what we are doing it. these are honest moments but it puts a lot of other democrats and really awkward positions. there's no better polling you'll get back to new york city, a capital of liberalism having a primary race won by a former police officer, former nypd captain who ran online order, you can tell right now that in the white house, joe biden and kamala harris got some feedback,

some internal polling that pay, the border being out of control is a serious problem and violence rising in cities is a serious problem. so they are trying to react differently to that, the problem is they really built themselves behind a brick wall here where they can't do that without running against everything they said they were going to do, open borders, decriminalization, defund the police. joe biden didn't say that x was a leap at his fans did, they are running against their own message right now because the american people are fed up and it's a dangerous place to be politically. >> harris: yeah, you know, where this also gets complicated and what i meant by the political advantage that republicans could possibly have here is that most of the areas where you are seeing the defund conversation and you're seeing a collision between police officers leaving and rising violence on democrat-led cities. so in some corner card room where there are velvet poppy paintings on the wall, these men and women and the democrat party have got to be talking about what they are going to do around

this message. >> abby: absolutely and you're getting messages from all different types of democrats, some are saying defund the police, others are saying don't defund the police but when you mention those democrat hit-and-run cities, i want to go back to chicago for one second and talk about the numbers because i do think numbers paint a bit of a picture. on average there are 450 murders in chicago every single year. the "chicago sun-times" did the study over the past six years, there were around 1,000 shootings that killed almost 150 people. you how many convictions there were a lot of that? two convictions. so that's a problem in and of itself and then you turn your attention to the police officer that large, every year on average 43 police officers are killed in the line of duty. in 2019 we saw 51. unfortunately over the weekend ella french, i just want to keep saying her name, was one of the 38 officers shot at in chicago. so when you look at these

numbers it's really easy to lose sight of the human being and i just again want to go to what kayleigh said, she was touted as such a good person, her brother said she was a good samaritan who loved to travel, one of her favorite people to travel with was her mom. it's important to keep that in mind as we talk of the police officer shot and killed and also the victims being shot and killed because of the defund the police movement. >> harris: really quickly, before we get a commercial break, we did have some facts come in apparently from her family, ella french. we have been reporting, widely, not just fox, had been reported that she was a new mom but we are learning that she did not have a child. that she had been with the police force for a short period of time, just a few years as kayleigh pointed out and a beautiful person and we will say the name of 29-year-old ella french. police officer with the chicago police department today and we are praying for her partner, her coworker who was with her who is in critical condition right now

to pull through. up next, hypocrisy at its finest. that's what critics are calling former president obama's big star-studded, supposedly scaled back birthday bash no masks, get down, shake your tail feather. where he was seen dancing mass close and now a "new york times" reporter's disruption of the crowd they are also some backlash. newday100 va cash out loan.boe it lets you borrow 100 percent of your home's value. you can take out $50,000 or more. use it to improve your home, get the kitchen you've always dreamed of, or have the security of cash in the bank. use your va home loan benefit at newday to get the financial security you and your family deserve. the newday100 va cash out loan.

that was in response to outcry at the optics of a huge party amid a covid serge. a white house correspondent for "the new york times" is getting torched for defending the birthday crowd. >> people suck, you know, this is really being overblown, they are following all the safety precautions, people are going to sporting events that are bigger than this, this is going to be safe, this is a sophisticated vaccinated crowd and this is just about optics, not about safety. >> kayleigh: dr. nicole saphier, tell us about the science of sophistication intertwining with covid have a 19 >> harris: amen. >> dr. saphier: the condescension that came out of that is just disgusting, no wonder we are so politicized in this country right now, the dash okay, i digress, let's talk about this very good for them, they are in massachusetts, they have a low testing positivity rates, they have low hospitalizations, low deaths, high vaccination rates in

massachusetts just like many other areas in the northeast. i think it's it's a great example that people actually can gather together, the safest way to do that is if the majority are vaccinated and to add another level of protection, have a rapid test before you go to the event. i think this is a great thing and i think the rest of the country should be taking note of this. because this can happen but the biggest problem that i have with this is that people are continuing to politicize this. can someone there have brought the delta variant into that party? absolutely. put a couple people get it because it's so transmissible and they were indoors essentially in that tent outside? yes. the good news is, vaccinated, those who have recovered from natural immunity is probably going to be in a normal summer: that's okay, that's the whole point of this is to get to a place where we continue to go out again but the cdc is still recommending if you are around other people in public like this to wear a mask. so that's the part where comes the hypocrisy, they are going to prove that this was okay but the

rest of the world needs to be allowed to do it, too, not just a sophisticated crowd, whatever that means. >> kayleigh: the problem is the hypocrisy of it all, this was, to me, let them eat cake moment for the democrats. they are at a birthday party, multimillion dollar mansion not wearing masks, everyone else, all you kids go where your masks but we are not going to do the same, it's the total and complete hypocrisy of it all. >> christopher: you're right, i've been having gatherings in my house, we celebrated st. patrick's day, some crawfish coming up soon, i'm pro-party and i think people should be getting together. what sickens me about the whole thing, though, the people who said you had to say good-bye to your grandmother over zoom, you can't go be with your loved ones or celebrate christmas, maybe you can have july 4th day that kind of level of just -- it's absolutely scummy the way they've treated normal americans ended totally drift through when you see a "new york times"

reporter saying these are for sophisticated. the reality is a lot of her colleagues and a lot of people at that party do think that you are unsophisticated, just cheer for the sports and drink your beer and do what we say and wear the mask and your kids are now under our control and i think americans need to wake up and say no more about. >> kayleigh: yes. on the note of galling hypocrisy, let's pop up a tweet from john legend, this was in august. recently he said "being on vaccinated and/or unmasked at a large indoor gathering is like literally begging to get covid, please don't do that to yourself, your family, or your neighbors." he tweets out and days later goes to an indoor gathering without a mask for president obama's birthday, what do you make of that? >> harris: are we really surprised? he's married to an accused a mega-bully, chrissy teigen. come on, these are the people who, you know, hypocrisy is just and hors d'oeuvre.

she picked on somebody for mental health issues, allegedly although there are receipts and texts in every thing else. look, it's an indoor event, and i'm glad that dr. saphier started there because that's what it was. if it's a tentative thing and has a door and those zip windows, it's an indoor event from the people. and we know that when you are around that many people you should probably, according to the cdc, mask up, right? if you're not vaccinated. that's what we've been told but sometimes when you are vaccinated, when the messages get modeled, this is what you get. you get a privileged crowd. sophisticated, i don't know, anybody can be sophisticated, read a book, suddenly your sophisticated but privileged and rich, that seems like a special niche to me. and of course they're going to be telling the rest of the world to do what they don't want to do and then go live the lives that they want, hypocrisy is like

perfume, everybody can get it. >> kayleigh: exactly right and that privileged crowd, do they even believe the rules they are telling us all to follow, when you see them all violating their own mandates and edicts? >> abby: i will keep it quick but i think the d.j. always tells, you've got to learn a lesson there, they're going to post a photo, it's the best view in the house of course. you have so many people come it's about hypocrisy, all go back to what dr. nicole saphier said, i don't think evil of any issues with the fact that there was a party, they have issues with the fact that they are being told they can't have parties. i agree and again, i know i've got to keep it short but i think we have to step back and talk about maybe sending mixed messages in that sense. >> kayleigh: well said by all. up next, new york governor andrew cuomo's closest advisor resigning as one of the 11 women accusing him of

>> harris: new york lawmakers gathering in albany today to discuss impeaching governor andrew cuomo as his secretary and closest advisor melissa derosa has suddenly quit, and we are now hearing from the woman in this photograph who filed a criminal complaint against the governor accusing him of groping her. >> the governor said "why don't we take a salty."

because of his suggestion with your phone? >> with my phone. i then felt, while taking the cell v, his go down my back, onto my butt and he started rubbing it. not sliding it, not quickly brushing over it, rubbing my butt. maybe to him, he thought this was normal but to me on the other women that he did this to it was not normal. it was not welcomed. and it was certainly not consensual. what he did to me was a crime. he broke the law. >> harris: abby? >> abby: yeah, what he did was a crime and i think what frightens me the most is that he's not resigning and i want to go, i love polls.

86% of lawmakers that he should resign, 63% think you should be impeached. and i keep asking myself, if you have people, this many people wanting you to resign, how can you be a leader of people who don't want you to be their leader? and i think it comes down to, he doesn't think he's going to get impeached because he truly doesn't believe he did something wrong and that is a huge issue to me. despite this independent and extensive ag report that suggests otherwise, they reviewed over 70,000 documents, interviewed 179 women and it is frightening to me because he needs to send a message to his daughters and the new yorkers. we need a leader now, right? >> harris: well, look, he can think he didn't do anything wrong. i'm just wondering if he ought to be spending taxpayer money trying to prove it. >> christopher: no, he absolutely shouldn't be doing that. i guess it's his right to try to defend himself here but there are some real villains here that are getting off the hook. to be when he's to go.

>> christopher: all of these massive enablers. democrats don't get impeached anymore. >> harris: this is all about other people's money. >> christopher: it's all about other people's money and in the state of virginia across the river from washington, d.c., you've got a governor who appeared and very likely appears to be after joe biden called for him to resign from the governorship, scandals don't generally impact democrats at the same level and another scandal that people aren't talking about but janice dean has been really loud about is all the media enablers, it's completely sickening, they called this man a hero, you need to do is look at pictures to see something was really handy about governor cuomo, all you needed to do was dig and do an investigation to realize people were dying in nursing homes and weren't even allowed to be with their families and they were dying, talk to another lawmaker in albany as a reporter and learn, this guy is a massive bully, all this was public and they used them anyway because

that's how much they hated trump and the american people. >> harris: so the politics again of this really come down to whether or not the intentional fortitude will be there for democrats actually impeach him if he won't go. >> kayleigh: they are talking a big game, two-thirds of new york state assembly in support of impeachment so we will see if that actually transpires. we know the biden administration when asked what impeachment they kept saying he should resign, they never went forward to say impeachment and think about, by the way, the seriousness of the allegation we just heard from that young woman, she goes to work as an executive assistant working in new york state government, probably a dream come true for her, a huge, powerful position and according to her she gets harassed like this by the person who she believed in enough to go and work for. end of the new york state government, i mean, it's a calling at accusation the way he abused his place in power and i have a very important question here, where is vice president

b16 harris in this? our team did a search, she has been silent, i try to do another search if she said anything over the weekend and i couldn't find anything come of this is someone who called for al franken to resign, someone who excoriated brett kavanaugh, you are the most important female figure in the democrat party, why are you silent, vice president kamala harris? >> harris: where is the president, for that matter? real quickly, dr.. >> dr. saphier: i think it's unfortunate and discussing what's happening with governor cuomo right now and i think that his stubbornness and narcissism is leading them to not resign. when you have the entire country including your surrounding governors calling for you to resign, you need to take a step back and acknowledge that it's over for you and it is time to step down because no one wants you around anymore. >> harris: all right. well, the doctor gave her diagnosis here we will move on. coming up, all local news

was "outrageously sexist." here's a clip on friday's segment. >> so how does this work? if someone is on maternity leave, did they vote to remotely? like we saw the pandemic? >> is someone who wants to be scarce after having a child and also in the short run up before, these two developments, proxy voting and remote committee meetings really help someone who is not up to a full-time engagement on the floor of the house or the office buildings in the committee meetings do their job. the people of new york 21 will benefit while she is not at full energy on her job by a congressional staff. >> kayleigh: harris, my goodness, not at full energy, i was recently pregnant just over a year and eight months ago. i was on a campaign trail in

new hampshire and michigan, back to work, back out on the campaign trail, just a few weeks after having her, that was my choice but this is broad strokes generalization of a new mother, working mother, this is galling >> harris: oh, my goodness, this is what the party of women is about? i don't even know what to think and those pictures of blake, as blake got a little older and the white house and there were other pictures you were able to talk with her about what was coming, she may never remember the content of those messages but will forever have the images of having that of a strong woman following her purpose and her dreams. if that's threatening to some of the men around her, biden-style, i thought i'd whisper it because he whispers the really important stuff sometimes and we want to make sure that the men in the room get it. >> kayleigh: good job there, harris. dr. saphier, i mean, while she is not full of energy, she wants

to be scarce, not up for full-time engagement, this is what they have to say about a soon to be working mom. >> dr. saphier: isn't this so typical of what a man would say about being pregnant? this is why men aren't pregnant, just women are because we can handle a lot more, have you ever seen a man with the flu? it's honestly preposterous and i'm certain that this very educated, smart woman has timed this appropriately like all working women do, she's doing the fall, lame duck session time, and she's going to be just fine especially in the world of covid where you can be doing things remotely, she's going to have the baby had hit the ground running just like every other working mom does so for them to call her up for her pregnancy and not in the same time call out other people who may be dealing with things, think about president biden when he was vp, his son died, did anybody say, well, he shouldn't necessarily be the vice president anymore because maybe he's not able to

fulfill his duties? no because we all deal with things in our personal lives and are still able to maintain professional status just fine. >> absolutely and i always joke and say, i got the role of national press secretary on a campaign and decided, what better time to have baby than this? she just got this huge leadership role and i love that she chose to have a baby now because i always try to tell women, look, you can have it all, you can achieve in the workplace and have a child and be a mother, what message, though, does the center when when you have men summarily categorizing us as lacking in energy if we decide to have a baby. >> abby: knowing the women in my life, i think that's going to fire them up and they're going to say, i'm going to have these children and be even better at my job and i'm just so confused why we are still having this conversation, there was a recent study from 2019 that said more than 80% of women have a child while they are still in their working years so the fact that we are still talking about it in 2021 is kind of mind-blowing but

don't come after mom's they are extremely efficient with their jobs and raising their children and also doing just a normal job, recently in chicago, my sister-in-law is pregnant and she beat me up the stairs and i'm not even pregnant and then i think about my mom who raised three kids, had three dogs at the same time, the thing she had to do, it is crazy and just from watching you on the campaign trail do your job, you are the best dad to pretty much everything and you can tell in baby blankets well because she is just absolutely adorable. >> kayleigh: thank you so much, that's sweet. it sounds like you've got great women around you as well. chris, look, i don't think this has anything to do with her gender but may be more her politics because when tammy duckworth announced her pregnancy in 2018, being a democrat, the media called her a trailblazer, "the washington post" said tammy duckworth will be the senate's first new mom, she already has a record of blazing

trails and bbc tammy duckworth, the mother making history in the u.s. senate and nbc, tammy duckworth is pregnant, the first senator to give birth and office. so maybe it is more to do that she is a strong republican woman. >> christopher: yeah, we saw that first hand with the trump administration where there was no homage paid all the women on staff and all the women who were so public in communications and we saw this firsthand when a local new york paper, that previously had described are as childless and some of their coverage of this. of course having a baby changes you, thank god, mind my beautiful neighbor baby eliza just got out of nicu, for 12 days all her mother cared about in the entire world was her, she was complete we devoted to that baby while her husband take care of their other daughter and try to make things work. it changes you, it does take you away from work, all that matters is that baby but because of it she is now a better person and

more capable of handling what her constituents and family and friends need. >> kayleigh: yeah, i can confirm, having baby blake certainly made me a whole lot better so it's a great sacrifice and a tremendous honor. we congratulate you and your upcoming baby on the way. more "outnumbered" in just a momentra. newdrefi o and a quartr has the company's lowest rate in history. 2.25% with an apr of 2.48. save thousands every year. plus there's no money out of pocket and no up front fees. newday is holding the line on interest rates so every veteran family can save. call now. subway has so much new, i couldn't fit it all in the last ad... yep, so let me finish this. there's new hickory-smoked bacon, fresh mozzarella, smashed avocado...you know what, there's a lot!
