>> fox news alert: president biden's truck to the ratings have taken a hit, fall into a record low as americans turned against the president after the deadly and disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. two brand-new national service revealed a majority of americans are not happy with our commander in chief, and analysts are warning his approval numbers are entering dangerous territory. this is "outnumbered." i'm kayleigh mcenany. here my cohost emily compagno, julie banderas, fox news

contributor leslie marshall, and in the virtual seat, dan hoffman, fox news contributor and former cia station chief and director of the cia's middle east region. a new mpr/pbs poll shows that the president's approval rating has dropped six points missing a month, to 43%, the lowest provided and since he took office. his disapproval rating? not surprisingly shut up seven points to 51%. it also shows a majority of independents disapprove of the drop the president is doing, with a ten-point drop. that is bad news for biden and the democrats. independents are a key swing group that biden won in 2020. a separate "abc news" "washington post" poll also showing how the president's job approval rating has taken a substantial hit, plummeting to 44%. that's the second poll. the new one should scare

democrats. how the public thinks about president biden will be the single biggest indicator of how the 2022 midterm elections will turn out. emily, coming to you, this is not one national poll, two national polls. npr has him at 43%, "washington post" at 44%. when you break it down, it's falling on covid, the economy crime, afghanistan. this is a free fall on almost every issue. >> emily: he is failing on every single issue, kayleigh. he is failing on every issue that impacts every american, whether it's at their kitchen table or on a more broad sense. who is surprised? he abandoned americans. he abandoned allies, women, orphans, the working class, and crushed what should have been 20 years with a dignified ending after this disastrous pullout, the support for the war was only

36% of americans. while 70% supported the withdrawing, over 60% disapproved of the disastrous, chaotic withdrawal. i have to point out, when we talk about the americans left behind, a community liaison member who is working on behalf of a community, a school district to get students back to america, unlike the president, he called them "invisible families." even the dod spokesperson said "i am heartbroken over the americans left behind." the president pulled out an arbitrary deadline he set, it showed zero compassion, zero empathy of that fact that resonated to every american's heart. it's a disaster, it's reprehensible, and these numbers reflect that. >> kayleigh: dan, we know that the vast majority of americans did not want to leave their fellow americans behind. we see that here. all of it is taken together on afghanistan. what it translates to is a 26%

in "the washington post" poll, 26% of that approve the way president biden got out of afghanistan. your thoughts. >> dan: we got to go significant concerns about afghanistan. one entered the u.s. citizens, and also the afghan suv others. one of them was a translator who saved then senator biden's life into thousand eight when his black hawk helicopter went down. those things are critical right now for this administration. the second thing is that the terrorist problem is only going to get worse. afghanistan is morphing into a terrorist state where isis and al qaeda will operate with impunity and enjoy the sanctuary that the taliban have given them. those things, i think, are going to persist for the biden administration, and for the present, because he was on the hook for making this decision. it's worth noting that president carter's popularity plummeted to 20% during the iran

hostage crisis. he wrote about that in his memoir, saying he was obsessed for getting them out for moral and ethical reasons. it was one of the real causes for why he lost in the 1980 elections of president reagan. >> kayleigh: it is a fascinating parallel, dropped during the iran hostage crisis. here, we have 26% for biden on afghanistan. that is a distinct parallel. julie, beyond afghanistan, as devastating as that is, the economy, it's still a number two issue on both covid, which is number one, and the economy. he has dropped. economy, just a 39% approval rating, before the devastating jobs report where we got one-third of the jobs we were supposed to get this month. >> julie: only added 235,000 jobs. he spoke at the beginning of last hour and tried to justify it with covid and the delta variant. covid has been around for most two years. the delta variance, it is new, but nonetheless, covid has been

around for two years. over the summer, jobs are up. what's the reason for jobs being down? he blames it on the delta variant. it is the blame game that is bothersome to me. rather than blaming things, why don't we take responsibility? the accountability doesn't seem to be top priority when it comes to justifying poor job numbers. he's also touting the fact that he will raise taxes on the people employing the middle class. it's great he's not going to raise taxes for those people working families making under $400,000 a year, but hey, if you have 2-3 jobs, we are coming after you. the rich, the ones that employ you, they are going to suffer. he must have mentioned that like three times in his address. >> kayleigh: the american people not buying the blame game. that same "washington post" poll showing that they blamed

joe biden for afghanistan. these alarm bells have to be worrisome to you. it's worrisome to two other members of your party, two democrat pollsters wrote this in the hill read "the recent decline in support for president biden and his administration likely means that the democratic party will lose control of the house and potentially the senate in 2022, and makes it increasingly likely that biden will be a one-term president. >> leslie: although doug and i share a d on our lapel, and i -- the reason i disagree is afghanistan is not top of mind for voters. it won't be as we get further away from leaving afghanistan, and hopefully will have that 1-200 americans who choose not to stay with family members. when you look at this poll, it is largely about afghanistan. when you look at these two, 71%

of americans feel that afghanistan was a failure. the blame, as you rightly pointed out, is placed on biden. will that translate to the democrats running in house and senate seats in november of '22? here are other issues that will be problematic. one is going to be coming out of texas. yesterday, in california, we had more votes going in for gavin newsom than early voting was showing in california, with the recall election after fb8. issues like that will be worrisome. speaking of afghanistan, overwhelming majority of the both democrats strongly support afghan refugees coming to the united states and being helped, and that we can't abandon them. that's not the messaging from some republicans that are going to be running in november 2022 in those house and senate races. i don't think that these two

polls indicate the democrats will lose control in the slim majority that they have in the house, or that they could break that tie or lose that in the senate. don't get me wrong, i'm not going to vegas and saying we are picking up 40 seats, but i don't think it's time to get out the razor blades to the democrats for november 2022 as of yet. >> kayleigh: leslie, let me ask you about that. a slim majority in the house, five seats. these approval ratings are over all approval ratings have seen in two national polls. when you look at the right, are we going in the right direction, 23% say yes in the gallop. the number of democrats saying we are going in the right direction has fallen from 63 tow 39%. a poll in the "washington examiner" showing the senate races. his approval ratings are tanking.

>> leslie: it is a lifetime. i know it comes quick, but it's a lifetime. i hope we are going to see better job numbers by november 2022, that crime will be reduced in certain areas in 2022, and god willing, covid will be behind us, and we won't see a lot of fallout from this new variance, in addition to the delta variance, and largely, a lot so blame for covid is on the state level on governors. we are seeing those numbers for texas governor abbott in florida's governor, ron desantis. >> kayleigh: present biden once had a 60% approval rating on covid, now into the '60s. i think the american people are pointing right back at the president of the united states. coming up, the mainstream media's blackout of the

bombshell report on president biden's phone call with the afghan president. critics say he misled the american people. are the media doing the same thing? joint pain, swelling, tenderness. my psoriasis. cosentyx® works on all of this. cosentyx can help you look and feel better by treating the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. 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. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. watch me! get real relief with cosentyx. watch me! we did it again. verizon has been named america's most reliable network by rootmetrics. and our customers rated us #1 for network quality in america according to j.d. power. number one in reliability, 16 times in a row. most awarded for network quality, 27 times in a row.

>> kayleigh: is the biden administration appears to push past afghanistan, the mainstream media is going along with the plan. all major networks have largely avoided discussing the bombshell report, detailing of july phone call between president biden and now exiled afghan president. experts shared by writers, president biden appeared to urge the afghan president to play up the "perception" of stability in afghanistan, regardless of what was happening on the ground. ghani later warned the president that afghans were facing a

"full-scale invasion." he told the american people no one could have quit dolomite predicted how quickly afghanistan would fall to the taliban. he would think that would be a big story worthy of significant coverage, and not only is the liberal media looking the other way, they are praising president biden's actions in afghanistan. >> it's a fact that ending this war required it resolved that no one had president mark prior to president biden. the end of this war is more markable. >> i applied to the president from the beginning about afghanistan. he was dealt a horrible situation, and as of today, he has done a good job. >> biden did pull the band-aid off. a tough decision, a great decision. there is no elegant way to lose a war. >> kayleigh: dan, this is stunning. they are praising the withdrawal and ignoring the transcript at the time when president biden

had a cable from 22 foreign service officers saying "mr. president, this is a bad situation" he's telling the afghan president -- wide, changed the perception. do you think this was worthy of at least a mention from one of the major news networks? >> dan: first of all, the one thing they got wrong off the top, we might not be at war anymore afghanistan, but i can tell you that al qaeda and isis and the taliban, they are at war with us. we are going to feel that, i fear, in the region and potentially beyond. i have two takeaways from the president's discussion and meeting with ghani, the first being that it was clear that president biden knew the situation in afghanistan was more dire than he was protecting to the american people. that should have meant that he would challenge his assumptions and changed the strategy, which would involve withdrawing our military capability. he got that very much in reverse. it should have been, given the situation on the ground. the second take away, it's clear

that the president understood that taliban fighter pluralists were willing to die to come to paradise, and the afghan national army was not going to fight for a corrupt central government. that was also clear and should have been incorporated into our planning. >> kayleigh: no doubt about it. there was a cover-up, it seems. change of perception with the call to the afghan president from our president. leslie, the media also seems to be total blackout on this, now that for a few days passed withe withdrawal, not a minute of coverage in the evening news broadcasts. you have dom london sing "let's move on." here is rob crilly of the "washington examiner," pointing this out, i tweeted spotlighting the front page of today's "new york times." afghanistan in a small corner of the front page. his tweet saying this was just 25 words on afghanistan on the

front page of "the new york times." do you think it is fair for "the new york times" and others to move on at a time when we have 1,000 plus americans, soldiers, afghan allies left behind? >> leslie: as you know, it's the latest story that will lead in the headlines. after what happened in texas, that's a bigger story, that's more important, not only to voters, but to readers, viewers, listeners. it does not mean they should not have mentioned -- i think they should have mentioned the transcript between the president of the united states and president of afghanistan, but i want to say something. kayleigh, you remember in the former administration, the theye not with the president of afghanistan, they were with the taliban. even though the president of the united states may have said that, the perception and knowledge not just from americans, but the allies of the world, was that the taliban

would be the new sheriff in town. that's why the afghanistan was --the afghan he president did t care about messaging, because he had his ticket to get out of the country, planning to take a lot of cash with him on the way. >> kayleigh: we know president biden's direct words to the afghan president." tell them the taliban is not doing as well as perception. it is clear that biden, last week, he is cracking a joke about what happens if americans are left behind it. here was his response to nbc's peter alexander. [indecipherable] >> leslie: what happens if americans are left behind? there was an address? that specifically calls out the president for saying "no

american will be left behind when they work. when he is asked about it, he laughs about it, which almost feels like kamala harris was in his ifb, somehow got through to him. maybe he vicariously or is actually hearing from the vice president. it's interesting when we talk about perception. perception is everything. when you look at the white house, here jen psaki, and she is talking about acknowledging that it was a phone call, but it's private. in talk about a tweet not aging well. it just so happens that about two years ago, there was that infamous phone call between the ukrainian president and then president trump. that doesn't even touch the surface when you compare it to this phone call. jen psaki tweeted this. it was not just the call transcript, the whistle-blower complaint would likely have more details. we need both, and not just the call. what you are saying is we needed to hear the transcript from the call from the ukrainian president and president trump, but when the private phone call

between the former afghan president and president biden, that's a private phone call, we should not know more about the fact that he basically said, whether it's true or not "this is the perception we wanted to see?" need i say anymore? >> kayleigh: total hypocrisy. you think someone other than fox news would want to ask her about that tweet in the briefing, but only fox's jacqui heinrich is asking about the transcript. look at what is being asked, ed o'keefe from cbs. he has had two softballs in the last seven days. speaker were you affected by this at all? >> no, the state was affected. lines were overflowed. >> how is his mood? how is he dealing with the incoming information? how was he in asking the questions of military

commanders? >> anyone who has watched the president up close, which is most of you, knows that putting the lives of servicemen and women at risk, those decisions that you have to make as commander in chief weigh heavily on him. >> kayleigh: come on, ed. "how is he doing in afghanistan," as he is leaving afghanistan behind? how is he doing as americans are -- >> emily: it is disheartening, especially because the time that we have to ask questions of our commander in chief is so limited, if at all. the fact that these "journalists." are asking these questions, which sure, they have merit on their own, but when we are dealing with so many other pressing, emergent issues that raise questions for the american people that they need answered, these kinds of questions to be left on the cutting room floor, i would like to point out that dan's insightful analysis at the beginning of this segment underscores that there are 13

u.s. service members deaths at the kabul airport, presentable, that that blood is on this commander in chief's hands, that is by knowing what was going on there, he misrepresented to the american people, and made decisions that had deadly consequences for our u.s. service members, and therefore, leslie, i respectfully disagree with your comment that it is a bigger story about the bill and the law in texas. >> leslie: no, excuse me, i never said that texas was a bigger story than afghanistan. i said texas was a bigger story than the funko. there was no allegation of quid pro quo in the funko. mitch mcconnell said there wasn't going to be an impeachment. by the way, if you roll the tape, i was against impeaching donald trump. i am against impeachment of any president, unless there is a possibility of removal. that's what the process was set up to do. you weren't going to have a removal of trump or bill clinton. >> it's also to prevent them

from running an office in the future. >> donald trump has been impeached twice, and he can run in 2024. >> leslie, thank you for that clarification and the distinction. i think my point still remains, which is that americans should make the choice of what matters to them. when the media blacked out certain concepts, that takes away the choice from them. when rachel maddow spends 36 minutes and 50 seconds sounding the alarm of the abortion law and not at all one iota on that call with the afghan president, that means that choice was taken away from those viewers. as we proceed, all of this is important, and should be up to the american people to decide what they want to dive deeper into. when the choice is taken away, when the coverage is not ratio it in favor of this president, and when journalists are asking those ridiculous questions, when chris hayes is making comments that "no, that call was not a

scandal anymore than the war itself," that takes away our ability to analyze and infantile eyes as us. i need my journalists to raise those important questions and do the investigating so i can dig deeper, and be educated as an american person. i don't want to have the wool pulled over my eyes. thankfully, at this network, we won't be. >> kayleigh: you can guarantee it fox news, we will cover when an american president tells a foreign leader to change the production, whether it's true or not, while leveraging military aid to. it is a story of epic proportions. it was a quid pro quo, it is impeachable. that is my view. coming up, the death toll for destruction in the northeast is rising, people's homes and lives have been devastated. the top democrats from the president on down are using this as an opportunity to get political and push their massive spending agenda. that is next.

>> kayleigh: fox news alert: at least 48 people are dead after remnants of hurricane ida pummeled the northeast with historic rain and tornadoes, the deadliest storm to strike the region since super storm sandy. in new jersey, the storm left the ballpark for the yankees minor league team submerged in water. elsewhere in the garden state, shocking video shows the moment a home gets leveled in a massive fiery blast. watch.

the explosions happened just hours after everyone inside the house had evacuated. in a new jersey suburb outside of philadelphia, a confirmed tornado ripped several homes apart with peak winds of 150 miles an hour. in new york city, 11 of 13 people who died in the storm died in their basement apartments. the youngest victim, a 2-year-old boy. in the neighborhood in philadelphia, streets looked like rivers, cars submerged. top democrats are wasting no time. president biden and top democrats used it as an opportunity to pitch their massive spending bill. >> global warming is upon us. it will get worse and worse and worse unless we do something about it. >> president biden: these extreme storms, the climate crisis are here. we need to be better prepared. we need to act. when congress returns this month, i will press further

action on my bill backed plan. >> kayleigh: senator schumer went on to say "we will make new york declared a disaster area. climate change is undeniable. it is an imperative that we must pass the infrastructure and budget reconciliation bill heard" an emphasis on dependency of the federal government as a cash cow, also making everything about political agenda. >> julie: $1.3 trillion. joe manchin is coming out and saying "we don't need to spend that money. because clips then you get people like aoc and liberal squad numbers coming out and blasting him, making it seem like he's responsible for, at the time, 12 deaths in new york city. that number has his into 14, 38 overall. it is reckless, politics should not be involved when it comes to natural disasters and human deaths. you are basically making light

of a serious situation, for aoc to come out and blame him, she deserves -- the american lives that were lost, the family members deserve an apology from aoc. it was sickening that that was what came out of this as far as politics involved. it has no place here. >> emily: kayleigh, if the aim is to restore or maintain american stability, likely, these planes aren't the way to go anyway. >> kayleigh: no. we have seen this with covid, we have to have mandates, masked mandates, even though we are in the second year of this. you see this with crime on the streets. has to be up gun problem, can't be prime problem. you are right. devastating consequences for the american people, this reckless agenda. "the wall street journal" estimating last year that biden's plan would cost the average american 605,000 of

$6,500. we lose american income, american household wealth, and then you look over to china, their co2 -- which hunter biden was receiving millions from, while his father is on the taxpayers' dime. we are supposed to trust that somehow, president biden is going to be tough on china, figure out their co2 problem, while we pay the price. >> dan: i am a retired >> dan: i am a retired cia officer, not a scientist, so i will leave it to the scientists about climate change. the evidence is clear about the earth warming and sea levels rising in the arctic melting. when i was in the intelligence community, we looked at climate change as a threat multiplier, because it exacerbated, intensified, and accelerated the threats to our national security. what i would say is, as concerned citizens, i would like to see bipartisan consensus on what in the budget is going to help protect us, help deal with our military, especially our

coastal bases that are at risk of flooding, so we avoid things that maybe we shouldn't be spending money on. i would like to see some consensus from democrats and republicans on how to get at this. >> emily: leslie, do you agree that there would also need to be, probably, a tougher stance, a larger commitment to international compliance by the democratic party here? >> leslie: if there definitely doesn't need to be. if you want to put america first, you have to look at america first. dan, thank you, a great segue to what i was going to say. the sixth assessment by climatologists them out in the beginning of august, and the white house said in rhode island, we were warned. we were warned. people may not like the government talking about this, or politics being a part of it, but politics is a part of passing legislation, which gets checks written and money to the states. we need that. i think we would all agree, regardless of our political party, that we need to be better prepared. i think we would all agree,

because the facts are there, that hurricanes are coming more frequently with higher intensity. so are earthquakes, so our wildfires, like right here. i may not have been on today, guys, because of a technical problem due to the wildfires. thank you to the fox engineers who were great at getting that fixed. we also have the infrastructure, which was bipartisan. if you look at the number they started out, the number they ended with, i think that's going to be the same with this. we have to look beyond not just infrastructure, but at human infrastructure, energy, agriculture, environment. these are all things at play in. sometimes, people don't like the phrase "climate change," they think it is political and part of a leftist agenda, but the climate is changing. that is a fact, whether we like it or not. that's not political. that's scientific. >> emily: just ahead, san francisco is rolling out a plan to pay people not to shoot each other in an effort to curb gun violence. stick around for the story.

>> emily: as crime stores in san francisco, the city is rolling out a plan to pay perspective criminals $300 a month not to shoot anyone. the pilot program partly funded by taxpayers kicks off next month. it will provide gift cards to the ten people deemed at high risk of shooting someone or being shot to act as public safety investors. participants could earn an extra $200 if they meet certain benchmarks like attending parole appointments. leslie, what's the argument defending this. >> leslie: i'm glad you came to me. yesterday -- i thought it wouldn't be able to defend this. i think it's crazy. there are programs like this. there is great work out there, not just in san francisco, california.

support programs, school programs, sobriety, trying to get into programs with regard to drug addiction/rehab. here is my problem with the shooting and being shot. how do you identify who is going to shoot somebody or who will be shot, and if you do, doesn't law enforcement have to get involved in advanced? how do you get up how do you a criminal, how do you trust their pledge question right they will probably make more than $300 if they shoot somebody, and how will someone no? i don't like this part of the financial incentive, but i do when it comes to work or school or sobriety or drug rehab. >> emily: i will get back to questions in a moment. julie, the issue with wealth, you can earn that additional money by going to your parole appointments, but the system is already set up to incentivize parole compliance. that is usually on a federal level, where there are deterrent consequences for lack of parole compliance, which tax dollars already paid for. >> julie: the fact that they

have to incentivize potential victims of shootings and shooters, why aren't they spending that money, instead of doling that out to criminals, on mental health and therapy? gun control advocates are touting the fact that guns are the problem. the fact is -- we don't reward them money, we get them help. that's not a surprise that they would come up with such a stupid plan. it's mind-boggling, so dumb. >> emily: it makes me embarrassed to be from the bay area. kayleigh, back to leslie's questions. we know gun crimes have spiked, over 100% there, as have crimes like shoplifting once they were reduced from felony convictions to misdemeanors. the issue is that this ridiculously ephemeral rewards program ignores the underlying factors which leslie touched on. recidivism, the fact that there are no longer deterrent consequences being utilized by law enforcement because they are hamstring to buy the d.a. who refuses to prosecute or by local officials who are backlogged,

because the cops are defunded. there is a ton of issues being ignored that would address, and also identify who is at risk because of those factors. it's like everything is set on the table, but no one can eat, and instead, tax dollars are being utilized in an efficient and ridiculous ways. >> kayleigh: bingo, you hit on why we have a current problem. look at the liberal d.a.s, recidivism, everything you just named. of course, operation legend with president trump, resulted in 467 homicide arrests. that's the kind of thing we need to be doing, local, federal partnerships, none of the mayor says "this isn't cash for criminals." that's what this is. in california more broadly -- you have this program, then the idea that gavin newsom wants to pay addicts to promise to leave behind their addiction. now we will pay addict's, people who were going to get shot, keep them from getting shot.

this is insane. using general taxpayers dollars to do it, -- >> emily: it's like the failed homeless program that failed miserably also. more social emotions next. they are in store for the nfl's new season kicking off next week. what you can expect as some fans ask "can't we just play the game?" long-lasting relief with a revolutionary, rollerball design. because with the right pain reliever... life opens up. aleve it, and see what's possible. oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? so you only pay for what you need. sorry? limu, you're an animal! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

arriving in louisiana, should be home done much happening moments now. he said -- former education secretary betsy devos is here on the growing debate over kids wearing masks in schools. where does she stand on that? we will ask her about nyc schools ditching the honor roll? why? the big two hours live with "america reports," the top of the hour. >> players have displayed black lives matter and other types of decals on the backs of their helmets, and now the nfl will allow players to choose from six different social justice phrases to wear on the back of their helmets for the 2021 season. they can choose from the following: black lives matter, end racism, stop hate, it takes all of us, inspire change, and say our stories. kayleigh, the league and all of its 32 teams will not hinder the ability of the league's 1700

players to take a knee during the national anthem, and do any type of on-field protests during the anthem. there is a rule to the contrary on the books, however it will not and has not been enforced. >> kayleigh: the 2018 rule used to mandate that players take the field, stand, not neil, and show respect for the flag, and that it should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged in the public, and in this area, on respect for the flag in our country. that's what the guidelines said. they changed that. now, you are allowed to stay behind and locker room, but the guidelines say that if you were on the field you are supposed to stand, but the nfl is not disciplining players. one of the decals they can have on their helmets is "say their stories." they should also be saying the stories of police officers like david dore and jason rayner, ella french, who lost their lives in the line of duty. their stories matter. say their stories as well. >> emily: dan, your thoughts. >> dan: i also feel that there

is an element here of free speech. think about places like north korea, china, russia, and now afghanistan, where citizens can't express their views. i don't have a problem with the nfl doing this. the gains are going to go on. if viewers don't like it, they don't have to tune in. the free market will work and the league will suffer. if people don't care and they are still going to enjoy the patriots winning another super bowl, great. >> kayleigh: hey, tampa bay! [laughter] >> dan: we will see you in the super bowl. [laughter] >> sartre, dan, lost my train of thought coming from raider nation. this is contrary to last season where viewers did see social justice messaging on courts and jerseys. they are going to be largely removed this season, save for off the court, off tv. the commissioner saying "i understand people who say i am on your side, but i want to watch a basketball game." that league is making a different decision.

>> julie: it's interesting when you compare the two, america's favorite pastime, though i'm not personally an nfl fan and i'm not big into watching sporting events that become political. i get it, and i understand that point, and i believe free speech. there is a time and place for it though, and as a fan i would rather sit back and enjoy a game than dive into politics long trying to enjoy my beer and hot dogs. i have none of those things, never been to a football game, i'm just saying, i wouldn't necessarily enjoy all the politics. >> emily: julie, you have to come to me to the new allegiant stadium, raider nation. we will go to a game and it will change your life forever. yes! oh, my gosh. [laughter] >> julie: duly noted. [laughter] >> emily: leslie, this is part of a $250 million 10 here commitment by the nfl, but how is systemic racism combated by what is, arguably, a largely performative endeavor of infield psa's and helmet decals and the like? what is this doing other than

satisfying their own box to be checked? >> leslie: is that for me? >> emily: yes. >> leslie: no your audience. 67% of nfl players are african-american, nearly 40% of their viewers are african-american. they are appealing to what is happening, not only within the community, but within our society. look, i just have to say -- dan, boston, go pats. even you guys like the pats in tampa! you got tom brady from his! that aside, i won't be angry. [laughter] i don't like politics on the field. i don't like politics at the emmys, academy awards, but that is what it has become. we are political in nature. i agree with the whole free-speech concept on both sides of these issues. >> emily: i love keeping the arguments only to all the teams we support. probably good that we are remote today, because this could be a fight between our teams. [laughter] more "outnumbered" in just a moment.
