9:00 am
jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go. >> kayleigh: hello. i'm kayleigh mcenany here with my cohost emily compagno and joining us is cheryl casone, gillian turner, and richard powell. this is this is "outnumbered." full display with the freedom convoy coverage and it is taking a dangerous turn. "the washington post" and other publications are sharing the names of donors to the truck
9:01 am
protesters. we call that doxxing. their identities were exposed by hackers any data breach of the gifts and go fund-raiser. the donors say they are getting harassed and they have been threatened. the mainstream media seems to be there contacting people who contacted donation information with leaks and gave as little as $40 to the truckers to ask them why they did so. "washington post," reuters, canada press including the names of these people who are being systematically harassed. if you compare the double standard with the hunter biden story because of heck material policy on twitter. they've changed the rules about hacked material, nonetheless, the story seem to fall in that category and they shared widely. >> gillian: i'm not going to
9:02 am
comment on other outlets decisions and editorial decisions about what information they share and dull. that's our policy. i will say that the major problem here is with the trudeau government in canada who is taken the authoritarian approach since day one. protesters have had their names and information leaked to the public, as you mentioned. they are having their bank accounts frozen. trudeau is threatening that we may see a rest today site there. all of this to say that they have doubled down since day one on this approach to these protesters were they punished him. rather than focusing on the traditional ways you might manage and deal with protesters which is negotiation, some degree of compromise, discussion, they are going all in on punishment. that is at the crux of this problem. the media wants to cover it, that's an entirely different story. we've done a very fair job on this and do might not work, i
9:03 am
might add as opposed to on the ground and just with the prime minister saying. >> kayleigh: it's amazing what we heard. you mentioned justin trudeau and in my view, a total elitist. here is what he had to say to a conservative member of parliament, a young woman who happened to be jewish. here's what he said. >> conservative party members can stand with people who waive swastikas and they can stand with people who waive the confederate flag. we will stand with canadians who deserve to be able to get to their job and deserve to get their lives back. >> kayleigh: why demonize these protesters and set a meeting with them? >> richard: i believe that justin trudeau should make the protesters and i think they come up with very clear demands on what it's going to take for them to open up the trade lines. that is a larger underlying story here. you've a group of truckers who do not want to abide by canada's
9:04 am
vaccine mandate even though 80% of truckers are vaccinated in the country. >> kayleigh: does not mean they support mandates. >> richard: wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. i was getting there. as a result, they blocked international trade lines that are disrupting canadians as well as the united north american economy. where i disagree with gillian, usually agree, but where i disagree is that i think there is a responsibility of editors and news cancers not to dock people. i think it's an ethical when you could tell the story without telling this information. when they're faced with an ethical challenge, it's critical to understand am i causing more harm by putting these people's information out there than the good of the telling the truth about the story? that balance to me seems to be a little bit unbalanced. >> kayleigh: i think you are exactly right. i want to give credit where credit is due. i do not often praise ilhan omar, i disagree with her vehemently on a lot of things, but i want to give her credit
9:05 am
for what she tweets. standing up against with some of these editors are doing what she says, "i feel dizzy when any journalist felt the need to report on a shop owner making insignificant donation rather than get them harassed. a journalist needs to do better." they do need to do better. this woman owned a shop and donates $250 and that she gets threatens to have a brick stone through her windows because she is docked by journalists. >> cheryl: and this is why twitter and facebook and instagram have had to review their policies over the last year about information shared. a hack is a hack and that's how all the information is out there pure there's not much any government out there can do when it comes to the hacking of social media issues. julian is on jim wikileaks, we talk about it for decades. it's not going anywhere. what the canadian government is doing on the financial side, they are to freeze the account of the truckers and freeze the
9:06 am
accounts of those on the truckers. i'm not an expert of canadian financial regulation, but if this is going to go up across state lines, we have laws in the country. we follow the laws when it comes to finance in the country. >> kayleigh: fascinating point. freezing bank accounts. it's not just the truckers they are threatening. this is the justice minister and canada. let's hear what he has to say about freezing bank accounts. >> i think you are a member of a pro-trump movement donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to this thing. >> kayleigh: it's pro-trump? that's were talking about? what is he saying right there? >> cheryl: anybody can run for public office in canada. sorry canadians, i love you very much, but my god.
9:07 am
i'm sure that someone in his office, probably a lawyer, pointed out that we cannot do this. huge operations in the united states and you might want to dial back the rhetoric. >> kayleigh: speaking for resident attorney, emily compagno, the given cofounder spoke to fox news isn't the fed's job to come in contact me when a attack happens in my company question rick >> emily: is coming for investigation. when the definition of doxxing, like we talk about, it includes licit and illicit methods of gathering information. here in the united states, there's only certain people protected from having their personal information published online. that is the sad reality about a lot of this. generally when a lot of people get prosecuted, it's for ancillary things like harassment. things that fall under the wake of being doxxed.
9:08 am
there is an exception. when you are a government employee. for example, the doj did investigate, prosecute, and incarcerate a guy that doxxed five senators with their home addresses on addresses on wikipedia. instantly. that same protection is not afforded to average americans. it's difficult. how do you and quantify something like i've been threatened with bricks. bricks have come through my window. at what point the ghost images rise enough to get the skies? as you pointed out, it's such a complex web of investigation. bear with me on the analogy, but you remember that what took down gawker was the newsworthiness of the content. we saw a dirty organization that -- they said they had the existence of christensen much personal information but they did not publish it themselves because the existence was obtained illegally because of laws i will not get into now. stay away from actual
9:09 am
information. when butchered part of the ethical evaluations, there's a line. what's that? >> gillian: i did know my neck was away to mike dubke state that white he did this purposely that it would give them greater regulatory powers when it comesl and finance banking system. he knew it was going to be a key power he could take on if you did this. the ability to freeze people's bank accounts willy-nilly at his discretion. >> kayleigh: it's incredible. we have to move to the next segment, but what i will say is linked through the truckers story and hearing about the powers, i'm so glad i live in the united states of america and our neighbors. just ahead, three members of san francisco school board are recalled in a landslide.

>> emily: welcome back. it's a political earthquake that it could have huge imprecations for democrats in the fall midterms. voters in liberal san francisco come out seen by overwhelming margins. three school board members in the wake of widespread backlash of the slowly opening of school shut down by covert peer the controversial plan to rename dozens of schools, including schools named after abraham lincoln and george washington. curious parents launch the recall effort after arguing with
9:15 am
the school board with pushing progressive politics instead of acting in the best interest of children. today's "new york post" cover says that all of the woke revolts. jillian, your thoughts? >> gillian: i would say this, emily. on the political front here, we are nine days out from the state of the union. about nine months, if my math serves me correct. which it probably doesn't. nine months from the midterm. this is why we have seen all the political strategist, now predict that the politicians going to start loosening covert related restrictions in schools. we are going to start to see a turning of the tides here. so that politicians can gain the benefit of all of that goodwill, going into their reelection battles. partially that is what we are seeing here with this one school, the politicization of education. it is not something to by the way, that is being sort of ginned up by republicans and thrusts in the political spotlight. the reason that education has become the center of great contention in this country of the past year or so, is because
9:16 am
education policies relating to covert and relating to actual curriculums and crtv, have become so wildly out of step with what the majority of americans want to see. when we hear criticism that this is sort of a cultural issue that is being ginned up by republicans, it strikes me as mighty disingenuous. >> emily: right. that is part of the argument richard, the parents in san francisco. the san francisco public schools district, they have an average math proficiency a 50%. this was just out five days ago. reading proficiency as well in the 50s. so the parents are arguing, before you put this out, why don't you work at educating our children and make them career and college ready which seems to be massively failing in the bay area. >> richard: well listen. i think there are two narratives afoot here. there's a narrative that is happening in san francisco and there's a narrative that is happening in other school boards across the country.
9:17 am
i think what you have in san francisco is this. the odd bedfellows of political money, as well as parents who are angry. they are not angry about the normal things that you sort of see populating the news. they are not angry about books in schools, not angry about critical race theory. there actually have a conversation on equity and how we make sure that the schools are equitable. they feel like these three particular board members, are not on the side of equity. they would rather spend time renaming schools then actually dealing with the issues that matter to parents, which is how do we create equitable learning for all students. now, with that being said, i think what you have happening around the country is a conversation about how we deal with public education. i have always said this and i will continue to say this. before we sort of jump to conclusions on where the majority of american stand, i think it's real important that all parents come all parents no matter the race or the color, have a say in what happens in the nation's public schools. i think oftentimes missing from this conversation has been parents of color. right. because parents of color say that it's important that we teach a fullness and richness of
9:18 am
our history. it's important that there are books in the library that represent different points of view and different authors. it's important that we have conversations around equity and making sure the schools are properly funded and have school nurses and counselors. and social workers to help the kids deal with their lived reality. i think that is conversation that we should be having as a country. how we sense that over the political noise, is easier said than done. >> emily: interesting. he brought up california. kaylee, take a bird's-eye view there, polls have been showing that biden is losing support in california with 48% disapproving of his job performance. as well, vice president harris, who is from there, or was born there, i should say, it's not doing any better. right. only 38% approve and 46% disapprove. generally, what he think with the fact that democrats are now turning their backs on those policies and the parties potentially? >> kayleigh: yeah. they have an undying maniacal obsession with
9:19 am
president donald trump. go on cnn's website at any given day and there like ten headlines about donald trump and nothing about education. they have this obsession with him. while all of these fires are going on in their backyard. it is not just san francisco, which is extraordinary. they were recalled anywhere between 74 to 78%. they blame this on closet republicans that republicans make up to 6% of registered voters. in san francisco. it's not just in san francisco. go over to virginia. and everyone one issue two virginia voters according to the emerson poll was education. terry mcauliffe had a 33% lead on education in september. within 40 days, you have glenn youngkin came and said hey, i'm positing something different here. no critical race theory come open on schools, no mass mandates for children. he headed up to with a nine-point lead in education. democrats continue to fiddle, your backyard is on fire. >> also to micaela kelly's people to not get voted off by small margins. markus wostry like 72 and 79% i think.
9:20 am
the numbers don't lie. >> kayleigh: absolutely. and cheryl, to kaylee's, young can, one of the slogans, although i should say commitments was i will listen to parents. sort of wrapping up this whole conversation from the concept is that parents want to be heard and they want to be having a vital participatory role of a child's education. as all of us are saying. but it is up to the elected officials whether in fact they do listen to them and give them that voice. >> cheryl: if they do not listen they will be voted out of office. this is a midterm year. they should be watching what's happening in virginia and san francisco. this was san francisco. this percent of voters in san francisco are republican. i mean, this is the type of environment now that republicans are facing. i'm sorry, but the gap has to end. otherwise, people are going to vote and they will get rid of these politicians. again, 79% for allison collins paid 79% gabriella lopez. those are the exact percentages.
9:21 am
it was overwhelming. these people were taken out of that school board because they wanted to rename schools. frankly, the parents are sick of the covert restrictions. which we have seen. enough with the mass across the country. >> richard: i think cheryl brings up a good point here. i want to double down on this. there are parents that go beyond the mass mandates. for a long time, we see in parents, especially in a lot of urban centers, talk about their disdain for standardized testing. the fact that these kids are learning how to do algebra. i think when governor desantis and the chicago teachers union can agree that we have a problem with standardized testing in this country. it tells you that there's some change happening the world world of public education. >> emily: there certainly are. all right. this is president biden, he is speaking in lorraine ohio, where he is looking to drum up support for his trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure bill. the president is expected to discuss how the bill helps the american people by rebuilding roads, bridges, and creating new jobs. it is his fourth time in ohio. we are watching those remarks

>> emily: democrats blame and a surge in violent crime in every thing but their own policies. first, congresswoman cortez told the new york that because the child credit expired, and our people are stealing baby formula. she went on to say, that we talk too much about people who are violent instead of so-called environmentalists all the violence. and how to dismantle them. jen psaki took it a step
9:27 am
further. she suggested that brutal attack on asian american women in new york city could be traced back to the rhetoric around the origins of covid-19. >> we have seen this rise unfortunately, because of hate filled rhetoric and language around the origins of the pandemic. that is something that asian americans across the country have been feeling. >> emily: richard, some data was leaked, internal polling from the trip will see, the campaign arm of the democratic party. one of the things that was alluded by politico with this. when faced with a defund the police attack for instance, the presenters encouraged democrats to reiterate their support for police and on immigration, he said that democrats should deny support for open borders or amnesty and talk about their efforts to keep the port are safe. you agree? >> richard: yeah, i do agree. i do not think that's what it's actually happening in policy. yes, i do believe that we have a come back to the table with the das and city council members and state legislators to figure
9:28 am
out how we reform bail. this idea of no cash bail is a broad standard is not necessarily the way to go. but there are actually really good policies working in the right direction. i think the example that i was pointing here in reporting coming out about what is happening in st. louis. it is actually rather remarkable. what mayor jones is doing there as she is, or homicide rate has decreased by 25% paid one homicide rates are up all across the country, her homicide rate is going down here here's what she's doing. the first thing she is doing is this, and high crime neighborhoods she steamed up police officers with clinicians. so that they are going to crime scenes together. the second thing she's doing, is she is hiring interrupters. people who live in communities who are committed to solving crime who helped me to the members find jobs, help community members find resources. and also, who helped de-escalate crimes before they get to the use of a gun. the third thing she's doing, is ensuring that police officers and police departments have the resources they need in st. louis to solve cold case murders paired the reason why that is really important, is because
9:29 am
most of the murders done in this country are done by a handful of people. not the masses. if we can figure out who is doing these crimes, who are selling these guns, get them off the streets as soon as possible, we can really put a damper on the current crime rate. the crimes that we are seen. big shout out to the mayor of st. louis. >> kayleigh: emily, the problem is that not every democrat is against these cash flow policies pair not every democrat has been against defund the police. without baltimore, new york city. they want us granik's primitive defending the police. what you know, murder rates skyrocketed along with violent crimes. >> emily: that's right. rich and i appreciate what you said. you highlighted their coming that date of success in st. louis, the fact that he said resources were directed towards law enforcement and then the collaboration between law enforcement and the communities. which they are one of the same thing. i really appreciate that bead points out. because we talk about what has been eroded and why the crimes have spiked in those other democratic led cities. it's because there's been a lack of acknowledgment of all of the
9:30 am
requisite parts to the puzzle. in every single link that you need in the full chain. for example, here in new york, the fact that we have stripped our judges of any discretion. you have a grand experiment plan i can no cash bail, you cannot have that without the discretion to account for it. he points out the recidivist violence stomach violence offenders. for small populations, small percentage that continues offending in violent ways. for example, christina lee, that horrible 40 time stabbing that we had. the makeshift memorial i saw a sign that said, i'm sorry we cannot protect you, christina. what broke my heart about that, is that her death is preventable. it was preventable. that was the failure. the failure of policy and a failure of elected officials to show support. as you pointed out, those in the dcc that are, that know exactly how we should change, this is what we need to do. they are talking out of one side of the mouth, they are still capitulating this progressive left with policy.
9:31 am
>> kayleigh: yes exactly. i go back that phone call that happened where abigail sandberg, a democrat said stop saying to phone the police guys. i'm going to lose my seat. she's not able to stop, cheryl, people like this. let's roll aoc. >> i want to say that any amounts of harm is unacceptable and too much. but, i also want to make sure that this does not drive any hysteria and that we look at these numbers in context so that we can make responsible decisions about what to allocate in that context. >> emily: hysteria? has she not seen the crime rates in her district here in new york city? once again, she is proving that she is more focused on her political career in washington that she is on the people of new york city and the victims in the bronx in her district. the other thing, richard, i agree with you by the way back communities coming together. they are doing that new york city as well. they try to think of ways that
9:32 am
they can get community involvement along with police. but the problem still, aoc can talk all she wants about inclusivity, whatever she saying lately. but at the end of the day, it has to come out of albany. it has to come out of state lawmakers there. they are fighting back erica adams. who is trying to build support on his anti-crime agenda. he is getting pushed back. that's why he was so angry. in front of the camera couple of days ago. but as far as, she continues to ignore the real numbers. she wrapped them around in a way that serves herself. i think she is serving in washington only. >> emily: hold on let me get chilling in here really quick richard. i will continue with you after we have a second. the chilling, when i work at the rnc, this is 2018. our internal data show that voters were very much abolishing eyes. there was a prevailing rhetoric of the time among the squad. how much do these kind of squad voices that crop up apologize, defund the police, damaging the party the long run? >> gillian: those voices may only be a handful of folks an
9:33 am
actual party who have elected office today. but they ricochet around. what's interesting in this strategy document that politico got a hold of, is that you see the party telling its own candidates, hey, you cannot ignore the rise in crime. you cannot ignore how we are going to from the nation's police department they will be obliterated in the midterm. they are right. if you read this document, they lay out the party perception that a lot of democrats are kind of going on defense on these issues because they feel that republican opponents have chosen them. because of that, they do not want to amplify these issues. that is political suicide come up with the next round of elections are. the reality, and a chemist at a similar thing in the last one, but it remains true here. the reality is that these issues are not been honed by politicians. or by anyone in political parties. they are being chosen by americans around the country who care profoundly about them.
9:34 am
richard? >> richard: a couple of points are. i think cheryl is right. one thing the mayor's lexicon for some that we've heard community's calling for for very long time is what can we do to make sure that police officers live in the communities where they serve. the reason for that is, are the impacts that a triple fall. when you live in the commune they serve, not only will he rebuild the trust that is been broken because of the various numbers of headlines that we seen around police in a community. but also, your cruiser been on that street and it creates an immediate deterrent for crime. we look at what erica adams is doing only look at what to share joan is doing in st. louis, easy mayor is trying to get it done. what they need washing and do with a bipartisan way, is passed police reform where everybody's at the table. so that there is some dollars going in that direction. >> quick point richard, i appreciate way same. i agree with the concept here but here they are being priced out. it is so hard understand, there are some that are grandfathered in but for those rookies, especially no one can afford it here. that's why that conjunction
9:35 am
needs to happen. >> richard: it could be more affordable. >> exactly. we need to reform these radical das. and many others were causing a problem back problems are coming up, there is already a watch list for terrorists. should there also be one for unruly passengers in the sky. why republican senators say they oppose it, next. ♪ ♪

>> emily: while the friendly skies getting downright unfriendly, those were just some examples of people getting kicked off flights for acting out. now a group of republican senators are pushing back on a federal no-fly list for unruly passengers. in a letter to the justice department say that a majority of incidents on airplanes simply have to do with resistance to mask mandates. the letter goes on to say "creating a federal no-fly list for unruly passengers who are skeptical of this mandate, would seemingly equate them to terrorists." i think that's exactly right. cheryl, i watched a video this morning, man allegedly is mass production here the whole video. you can hear the flight attendant saying he needs a switch is mass. he does not switch is mastered he is very calm. he is forced off the plane. allegiant said that he disobeyed the flight attendant. how? he disobeyed because he did not change the mask? >> cheryl: but he was still wearing the mask. what these republican senators
9:41 am
are actually responding to is the ceo of delta air lines paired he's the one that wants this no-fly list created paired similar to what we saw after 9/11. look, skies have become a war zone. that was happening, even going into the pandemic it's got much more worse. i was looking at a number of incidents here. of 5,991 reported cases of unruly passengers in 2021, 4,290 were emasculated. that is one piece of the puzzle. flying is stressful already. now you have to mask a toddler on top of that. okay. i get it. at the same time, a lot of these passengers have become violent against the crew, who are only following what the faa is telling them to do. and the company is telling them to do. so it has put the flight crews in a horrible situation. because they are caught between the faa and probably what they believe is right, enough of the masks and enough of the kate spade by the way, no one is getting cold on airplanes. i said this repeatedly. i've looked at the data. i've been reviewing it over the last year. no one is getting killed on
9:42 am
planes. that is a solution. not some terror watch list for people because they will not wear a mask on a plane. >> kayleigh: is crazy. and they pointed out that the tsa was created in the wake of 9/11, not to police masks for 2-year-olds. >> emily: that's right. that's why they said that line, equating them to terrorists. the delta ceo, or whoever's advocating for this and the government is essentially trying to use a post-9/11 law and apply it to nowadays. i argue that we've already seen that. what we saw during the pandemic, when we saw members of the government utilizing regulatory branches and the criminal sector to prosecute his message that cannot afford to close but so what's next? are we going to take away people's licenses to operate altogether? we already saw that. the delta ceo, you can have your own no-fly list for your commercial operation, that's fine. but to ban everyone with such an atomic weapon for such specific behavior. as you point out, mostly for the mask were in. let it play out in the open
9:43 am
market. but to use such a broad stroke that can potentially be used for nefarious political purposes later. all you have an existence on this no-fly list, will we are going to do x, y, and z. the opportunities are endless for really negative consequences for these people. >> kayleigh: that's exactly right. richard, no place for unruly passengers. i wear my mask on the plane. that being said, this has been utilized in a way that i think is counterproductive. especially on the no-fly list but let's watch this video of a family been a plane. they could be added to a terror watch list. go ahead. we do not have audio here. but here's the family been kicked off the plane. the 2-year-olds will not wear a mask, richard. they should not be added to a list. >> richard: when you look at the federal guidelines, it does say one year toddler 2-year-old do not mandated to wear a mask. but where do you agree with you kaylee is look, flying is been uncomfortable since 9/11.
9:44 am
if take your shoes off tommy laptop out of your bag. take your belt off. it is becoming very uncomfortable process. on top of the fact that most of the time when you're in an aircraft coming you're already packed in there like a sardine to begin with. so i do believe this, if you have a problem with mask mandates in the sky, send a letter to the department of transportation. a dresser grievance with congress. do not take it out on flight attendants. do not take it out on ramp agents were doing their job. if you decide to do that, then there should be some penalty. there should be some consequences to your action if you decide to hit a flight attendant. some of these videos we see that actually happen. >> emily: there is. you will go to jail. it is federal law. >> kayleigh: be nice the flight attendants. julian, i want to come to you because you are new mom. this is not a one-off. a lot of parents have come under scrutiny because of their kids not wearing a mask. >> gillian: hopefully companies will not be the people who are going on these no-fly watch list. it would be limited to people who are violent. because one aspect of the
9:45 am
problem that we have not brought up, is well, cheryl and richard touched on briefly. the problem that flight attendants are bearing the brunt of this. they are leaving. they are quitting in droves. this is part of why we have scenes flight prices skyrocket. we see in flights derailed all across the united states. they are leaving because they are tired of being the nation's repository for angry people. they are tired of having little authority to manage these do noe the mask police. guess what, it has become a core component of their daily responsibility. they do not like it. we want to sort of keep the folks that are already on staff at airlines. be set up. we're going to have to do something to guarantee at least their physical safety so that they are not getting punched in the face, which is happening, according to the data i was reading earlier today fairly regularly. >> emily: yeah. bottom line, be nice the flight attendants paid be nice the babies. all right, coming up, a former
