9:00 am
>> hello, everyone, i'm kayleigh mcenany come here with my cohost, emily compagno. also joining us is rebeccah heinrichs, leslie marshall, and brian brenberg. this is "outnumbered." vladimir putin's invasion of the ukraine looking more and more imminent, as russian troops are now within just 3 miles of the border. check out this new satellite imaging showing convoys and tanks hidden in civilian areas and forests. plus we are learning that
9:01 am
moscow's battle plan calls for overwhelming intensity of fire on the ukraine, won the u.s. warrants can kill tens of thousands of just the first few days. the kremlin now insists it's too early to talk about a biotin, putin summit. a hit list is being created for activists in ukraine. jake sullivan warned this morning about the scope and magnitude of russia's plan. >> we believe that any military operation of this size, scope, and magnitude that we believe the russians are planning will be extremely violent. it will cost the lives of ukrainian and russian civilians and military personnel alike. we also have intelligence that suggests there will be an even greater form of brutality. this will not simply be a conventional war between two armies, it will be a war waged by russia on the ukrainian people to crush and harm them.
9:02 am
>> on friday i watched our commander-in-chief say i'm convinced that a vladimir putin has made the decision to invade. the next day you had the president of ukraine come out and say you're so convinced he's going to invade, why not levy sanctions? now seems like the perfect time. i can't help but think of the analogy that if your house is on fire and flames are high in the sky, that's the time you called fire department and take action. but not for president joe biden. >> brian: it is nonsensical to me. i don't understand why this administration's wedding, telling us all of the terrible things that could happen, but not putting out a timeline. what do we need to see, what is in america's interest in what are we prepared to do about it if we don't get it? putin is calling all of the place right now. he is in charge. he has made that clear. our president has done nothing to give america leverage.
9:03 am
putin speaks the language of leverage. right now he has all of it. this administration is backwards on energy, it's backwards on sanctions, it was backwards in afghanistan, and we are going nowhere fast because we have no leverage. >> backwards on love energy like let's close down keystone, but last night jen psaki comes out with a statement that in principle the principle down like the president has agreed to a summit with boudin, it was a curious development and vladimir putin comes up this morning, throws water on that idea. he said dimitri petroff, the spokesperson, it's premature to talk about specific plans. sebastian smith saying that putin says we are at a dead end. so very different messaging than what we are hearing from the white house. >> that's exactly right. vladimir putin is the one that is calling all of the shots. he holds all of the cards. it's getting to the point where it's embarrassing to watch all
9:04 am
of these heads of states going to him desperate for some diplomatic solution, when it's totally clear to anybody watching that vladimir putin is not interested in a peaceful, diplomatic solution. his demands are outrageous. 150,000 plus troops on the border. the other thing is that there is already because right now to implement some sanctions. belarus has already said they want russia to leave, rush is not leaving. you have cyberattacks on going against the ukraine -- straight seriousness, some results, though sanctions can only accelerate as the russians accelerate their aggression. the russians understrength strength and power. >> no doubt. rebecca, let me follow up with you as our expert. i saw this in
9:05 am
"the washington post" on a raised some eyebrows. president biden is so certain of this invasion, the images are ominous but "the washington post" a single scum of the high-level european officials have expressed frustration that the united states has not shared intelligence that led us to surmise russia's intention with such certainty. why wouldn't we share that? >> puts people in danger. the point remains -- the whole world is being held hostage by vladimir putin. he is jerking other heads of state around. it's psychological warfare. these poor ukrainians have been trending so much and they are ready to defend themselves. they expect high casualties against the russians come even if they can't ultimately defeat
9:06 am
them militarily. it is harming the ukrainian economy already. russia is already harming the ukrainian people as we speak. we need to let our allies and partners know what is going on. they're going to have to come up with another plan >> emily, look at those images of russian tanks but it's not just a visible threat from atreides cybersecurity here at home. speak about the exactly right, rebecca, i have a question for you. mention cyberattacks against
9:07 am
ukraine. officials are growing increasingly concerned about a devastating russian cyber attack here at home. especially on banking institutions. what can you tell us about that? >> that's a great question. the russians have been launching cyberattacks against the united states major supply chains leading up this whole year in which the biden administration has been in power, there have already been major russian connected cyberattacks against the meat injured industry. the biden administration has not exacted sanctions against the russians. whenever there is not a high penalty it does not dissuade the russians from continuing to do that. the russians are at great risk but also with ongoing cyberattacks as well. >> nobody should worry because we have vice president kamala harris going to help the situation bear that's listen to the sound bite from her. she says russians are invading but sanctions might deter them. let's play the tape.
9:08 am
>> the purpose of the sanctions has always been, and continues to become a deterrent. these are some of the greatest sanctions, if not the strongest, that we have ever issued. >> if boudin makes up his mind do you think this is really going to deter him? >> we strongly believe -- and remember also that the sanctions are a product not only of our perspective as the united states, but a shared perspective among our allies. within the context of a diplomatic path. >> leslie come are you convinced the vice president can stop the war? >> i don't think it is up to one individual, our vice president or any come up to stop this war but i do believe 352 russian scholars who have said 90% of them agree sanctions will work. >> and why not do them now? >> it is which sanction. if you cut off the access for russia to swiss bank for
9:09 am
example, that will reduce russia's gdp by 5%. when we look historically and when we look with vladimir putin is doing, historically what has he done? false propaganda, many cyberattacks -- >> leslie you're making the case that we need to have sanctions now. >> i'm getting to that, kayleigh, i'm getting to that. do you ask me a question please let me answer. when vladimir putin is threatened as he would feel the sanctions imposed, it could make him make a decision that we don't want to. it could fare him away from diplomacy. it's not just sanctions commits when sanctions are placed and where sanctions are placed, which is what i was saying. vladimir putin said today in his security meeting the decision will be made today. so clearly he hasn't 100% made that decision. and clearly we all think what are we constantly hearing? nato, nato, nato. were not talking about soldiers
9:10 am
on the russian border, which angers vladimir putin as well up at the list of vladimir's boudin's demands are come as it was said earlier, a registered he knows they can't be met. i have to remind come of the western world holds more than 50% of the world's economy. russia and -- if you combined their buddies trying to together, less than 20%. we have the financial power. >> the facts are clear, president obama is the commander-in-chief come up wouldn't get era. president trump, sanctions like you've never seen before. president biden comes in, ukraine may not be an independent nation thanks to this administration. coming up one of the most disturbing fox exclusives, we have obtained disturbing jailhouse audio of a convicted child predator laughing about getting little to no punishment.

>> fox news has obtained shocking and horrifying audio of remarks by a convicted california child molester about the los angeles justice system run by d.a. george kutztown. in that audio, jane staats, who is now a transgender woman goes by the name hannah, both that nothing would happen to her even though she attacked a 10-year-old girl inside a public bathroom. she was right commit because she was only sentenced to two years this despite being only weeks shy of her 18th birthday at the time of her disgusting crime.
9:16 am
she won't even have to register as a sex offender. listen to gloat about this. >> don't worry about it. i'm going to plead guilty, they're going to stick me on probation, and it's going to be dropped and gone. i won't have to register or anything. >> is an offender? you want to have to register? what are they going to do to you? >> nothing. if i ever get in trouble i'm leaving the state come i'm leaving the country, i'm not staying. >> kelly, nothing she said, no consequence, then laughed. >> so gross, so callous, so wrong. imagine being the victim of this sex crime and listening to the person who probably ruined your childhood bragging about not facing consequences but i can't imagine the pain of that young woman. it's bigger than just this, emily come over the week and i can't stop thinking about the story of a mom in pittsburgh who was an uber driver, for kids,
9:17 am
for children -- he pleaded with her passenger please don't kill me, don't come in, i'm a mother, and he killed her. when you look at the new york city subway where there were four stabbings of that young woman who was followed to an apartment and stabbed to death in her bathtub, these stories are hard to hear but there's a reason for them, emily. if you are our expert when it comes to crime and legal matters commits because of the left sda. the mayor is complicit in the death of these individuals. and the horrible doll back horrible -- >> that's right, brian let's get your thoughts. we have a statement from one of those d.a.'s that was responsible for this situation. he said in part, while for most people several people of jail time is adequate, it may not be for miss tubbs. she said if we knew about her disregard for the harm she caused we would have handled this case differently. this is too little, too late, brian, and it was his policy, the d.a.'s policy that put hannah in two years at a
9:18 am
juvenile detention facility rather than analyzing her level of remorse. the fact speaks for itself, when you choke out a 10-year-old girl in a bathroom stall, those facts speak for themselves. you don't need to hear from an apology from the defendant for that person to be tried as an adult or registered as a sex offender, to inter them or incarcerate them in something different besides juvenile detention. >> i can put it any better than that. i'm not a legal expert, i'm a dad raising kids in manhattan. we have a d.a. that is just like cast on, he is approaching crime the same way in creating the same risk. it's callousness and incompetence. there is no way a d.a. should ever say something like that about a case like this, we are putting people at a rest, we are putting children at risk, we are driving families out of the cities, we should be trying to get them back into cities to
9:19 am
resuscitate american cities. these das seem bent on a single a single-handedly driving people away. there is no excuse for the policy. it is reckless and wrong. >> leslie, part of my million issues with this situation as well is that by trying this person as a juvenile, the d.a. removed from the judge the ability to exercise his discretion. the judge was quoted on the records in my hands are tied, that i cannot do anything more with this individual. so the das policy, that he created on his own, has left the judicial system without options to account for all of these situations that come from a recidivist violent pattern that can hopefully prevent future assaults, murderers, or the like. here it was taken away. >> although i'm a liberal democratic come i do not share everything with my liberal democrats when it comes to crime. i know we are pressed for time cured years ago when i was in chicago, illinois, working as a
9:20 am
radio talk show host they are, john wayne gacy was speaking terribly about the murders of over 30 individuals with no remorse. it was that day that i change my mind on the death penalty. in favor of it, not the way it is imposed in our system today, because it's obviously not a deterrent. let's come back to gascon in my state of california and my county of los angeles where i'm living and sitting right now. one of the problems i have this come i don't like all children tried as adults that are juvenile, but you can't just have a band like this. this is one of the reasons you can't have this down, this individual, this was not the first crime this individual committed, that hannah committed even before hannah was hannah. i'm a mom too come as you guys know. i've two children. my daughter is 13, three years about this. so i'm to the right of attila the hun when it comes to hurting a child, i'm probably not even a good human being when i think about what i'd like to be done
9:21 am
to and no doubt whatever imposed what i think. >> right, because you have common sense and empathy, leslie. part of the issue here is that gascon cited studies that say the human brain isn't fully developed until 25 and arguably rehabilitation is sufficient. but when you contrast that with the depraved mind of this person when we saw the lack of remorse and the laughter about the harm, the lifetime trauma he caused a 10-year-old girl, it's absolutely ridiculous. rebecca, what we are looking at now and we will put up on the screen is a video of a man walking up to a 4-year-old boy, sucker punching him in times square. you can see the mom, to leslie point, jump into action, tackle them into the ground. another woman helped tara. they held him there before the police officers could come and arrest him and who is to talk about that little boys trauma? the bottom line is now citizens are taking matters into their own hands. crime is out of control, rebecca. >> we have a breakdown of what the government is obligated to
9:22 am
provide its people, safety and security. i am also a mother come i have five young children. i applaud that mother for doing something that all of us moms would feel an impulse to do, to go protect our child. this was a senseless act, these are individuals walking along the street, they should feel safe and secure in a public area. because of liberal policies, they have been soft on crime, but soft on mental illness. it's not helping these individuals with mental illness, these are repeat offenders who are just roaming the streets. it's not safe for women and children to walk in major cities. it's incredibly disturbing. were going to see more instances, i think i'm of regular americans taking matters into their own hands and protecting themselves. especially protecting their children. >> a mother can't protect her child 24 hours a day forever, right? you at least help the district attorney would protect future

9:28 am
party has to start attacking the malaga faction. that's a much better foil than talking about one obscure congressional leader that nobody will know anyway. trump is not on the ballot, but these maglev action candidates are. kayleigh mcenany, your thoughts? >> i think you made out some major -- you laid out the axios peace, emily, which has president biden must have a foil. in other words, the guy in the basement needs a bad guy. no one rode it for president biden because they thought he had mental acuity, that he had grand plans and visions for the nations, we didn't even know his plans because he was in the basement most of the time. they justified that they didn't like mean tweets. this is very important contacts to say in 2016 he had trump as a foil, right now he doesn't have that. i really hope he doesn't try to make these u.s. truckers the bad guy, that would be disastrous.

9:30 am
blame instead of dealing with the records they created on these policies. you look at the freedom convoy, president biden, all he sees there is an opportunity to create another enemy. to create another foil. instead of listening, listen to these guys. they are the backbone of moving goods around this country, that is a problem, america needs solved. maybe we should listen to their concerns. it may be the president should get ahead and act a little bit on them. just maybe if he did that we'd start to address some supply chain issues. we'd start to address some inflation issues. you wouldn't have to create foils if you actually have some good news for once in his administration. >> leslie, part of this with frightening developments happening in friday as kayleigh was talking about that hopefully we would never see here in the united states, its may be starting to be married and that's the financial repot firming. it's arrived with the use of
9:31 am
emergency platforms here in canada peel last summer he says i warned readers of common sense financial but deep platforming would be the next wave of online censorship. big tech companies like paypal are already working with left-wing groups, he argues, like the adl and fdl c to a defined lists of individuals and groups who should be denied service. they would bd platform, d banks, and denied access to the modern economy altogether. as punishment for their unacceptable views. that prediction has become reality. here, leslie, as you know the supreme court has ruled that your political fund-raising, your political donor -- how you choose to spend your money politically as a form of free speech, but there we are seeing that worse nightmare coming true. could it happen here? >> i don't think so because you mentioned free speech. that doesn't cross the border, canada doesn't have the first amendment like we do, which is another reason america is the great country it is.
9:32 am
when it comes to private companies first amendment doesn't apply to them. they are allowed to do that, i don't think it's ultimate gloom get on to say very quickly to the point of a foil, because i am a democrat. i don't think we need a foil. voters care about time and time again come up all after after poll, c, c, c, cash, covid, crime. don't think -- i always tell democrats take a page out of the republican g.o.p. playbook, that is there's tons of republicans, nearly half or more of the party, that really didn't like donald trump. but when he was the candidate, that party really united and got behind him and work together. there's too much fragmentation in my party right now. they should unite more and focus on the issue is, not donald trump or anybody else to come up as the bad guy. and history has shown in recent history, the gubernatorial race in virginia has one example of that, terry mcauliffe harped on trump, and he lost.

"the new york times" reporting that two full years into the pandemic, the agency leading the country's response to the public health emergency has published
9:38 am
only a tiny fraction of the data it's collected. several people familiar with the data say much of the withheld information could help state and local health officials better target their efforts to bring the virus under control. emily, why would the cdc do this? it's alarming. >> according to them, kayleigh, they were afraid of prime time coverage and they were afraid of the american people finding out that it's okay to find out that the vaccine is just not infallible. to get this straight, because i pay my taxes every spring, because our software and structure is woefully inadequate, despite $1 billion to modernize, the cdc is afraid of the coverage and truth coming out. we had to rely on israel's numbers. epidemiologist in that article said they had to rely on "the new york times" for information coming out of the cdc. in that article it goes on to say that the detailed analysis would build public trust and
9:39 am
paint a much clearer picture of what's actually going on. that's exactly why the last two years we've had the opposite. there is no public trust and that's why we are also confused. the cdc and its unwieldy beast of a platform has failed to be transparent with the information, failed to disclose, and has still failed to disclose data between the ages of 18 and 49 pair that is so critical to us moving on knowing exactly what's happening. >> to underscore your point let's pull up the passage from "the new york times" that explains part of the rationale for this. the cdc says they were not ready for prime time, but here is this line from the times. they say this, the cdc has been routinely collecting information for the covid vaccine when their post rolled out last year. according to a federal official, rebecca, the agency has been reluctant to make those figures public. the officials say because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccine is being in effect and effective. for translation is we cannot trust the american people with
9:40 am
information. because that's exactly right. o'maley's point about what this is really about is that the cdc is afraid the american people come of the judgment of the american people. they don't believe the american people have the ability to look at the data, look at the science, to love their families, and love their neighbors, and make wise choices based on the risks they can see with their own eyes. they don't trust the american people to do that. this further erodes what is left of the trust the american people have been the cdc come i'm not sure there's any trust left. it makes people not just distrust them, but resent them. it does great harm to the medical community and for a public health officials when the entire thing has been politicized. and when there is no trust. nobody can tell me they know what is better for my children then what i know for my children. when they say things like mad children under five must be mad, i can dig up at us from other resources to see that there is no data that supports them asking my 3-year-old is actually going to be good for him.
9:41 am
you know that makes me distrust what they say and i tune out. i know i'm not alone. this is really devastating for the cdc. >> that is the optimal word, distrust. we know when there's this trust that is not the time where the antidote to this trust, light and transparency? >> i'm all for transparency. i'm all for all of the information beginning given out but i don't think the cdc has being nefarious in the situation is people are winning up. let's talk about some of the other issues here, one of the problems as they are data systems are completely outdated. that's why we have infrastructure and i'm all you do point that out as well. also when you look at the 18-49-year-old population, one of the reasons they were putting out information on boosters is that population is the least effective and most protected by the double vaccination. lastly, right now -- and they are moving in the right direction. if you go to the website they are doing daily updates when it comes to the fortification which
9:42 am
is helpful to local communities not to see if we are heading towards a spike, but specifically which demographics in our local communities that affects more so. so that helps not only politicians but medical professionals as well. >> brian if you read to the end of "the new york times" article they always bury the parts that are helpful to the left narrative, they say we could use this data and i would argue the cdc hasn't been as transparent as they are getting fouled bad lines from the teachers union that somehow make it into the cdc guideline. >> it smells like for a long time that we been getting half the data. what i you are finding here is if your data systems are broken, if you can publish your data, than on what basis are you making all of these policies? it's politics. they are afraid of people interpreting what is going on for themselves. that's the whole misinformation push. americans are capable of taking information, making decisions based on their own family. is called self-governance and
9:43 am
what is what the country is based on. the cdc how to get in line with that or they autumn stop making so many pronouncements. >> kayleigh, can i make a quick point? for a party that says they are committed to equalizing and bringing in equity, those impoverished communities that are black and brown come a state like mississippi, could really use the cdc onboarding helping them. that's an example of a state where it is missing. this is one more example of in an equitable presentation by our government, despite the lip service they pay when trying to get votes. >> great take from my cohost, emily. as critics from both sides of the aisle slam -- we are learning the biden administration may be expanding a successful program that targeted the chinese economic policies. that's up next. ♪ ♪
