9:01 am
aisle demanding answers for president biden after the united states military shot down a fourth object yesterday raising concerns about the national security of course, fighter jets took out objects whatever they were over alaska, canada, michigan, three of them and just the last three days, boom, boom, boom. the pentagon says it is the first time ever in american aerospace defense command has taken such action within the american airspace. but there is still not an indication from the white house that president biden will address the nation about what happened over the weekend, what does all of this mean? where is it going, meanwhile the pentagon not ruling anything out, and i mean anything including the possibility that these are some things, some objects of perhaps extraterrestrial origin. >> have you ruled out aliens or extraterrestrials and if so, why? because that's what everybody is asking us right now. >> i will let the intel
9:02 am
community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. i have not ruled out anything at this point, we continue to assess every thought, potential threat unknown that approaches north america with an attempt to identify. >> martha: a lot to talk about today, i was just joking that we are the people who are not hung over from the super bowl, that's why we are here on the couch, feeling good, did not go to arizona. while that's okay, lee says working it out. that's okay. but jake, i want to start with you, because you are a veteran and you played in the super bowl coming you're watching world events very carefully ran for office yourself, what you make of the response we have gone from the white house? speak of the lack of response, the low tea joe biden working again, making america less safe and sending confidence to the strength of the enemy is. you know, joe biden plays the role it has his aviators and likes his muscle cars, but at the end of the day every
9:03 am
soldier, sailor, and marine speaking to somebody just in the military, they know we have a weak and feckless commander in chief, that's not good for our military and that sends weakness abroad. >> martha: other people speaking out fairly on the show's swiss chuck schumer. maybe the most prominent voice on all of this, here's what he had to stay on sunday, watch. >> we have enormous information from surveying the balloon as it went over the united states. >> was it in norman's intelligence as well. >> we have to know what they are doing, okay, and we don't know exactly, but we got a lot of that and more portly by shooting it down over water coming u.s. waters, only 6 miles out from south carolina, will probably be able to piece together this whole surveillance balloon and know exactly what is going on. so that's a huge coup for the united states. >> martha: we don't know, huge
9:04 am
coup, we are not sure. kennedy, what did you make of senator schumer's -- did you find that reassuring? >> kennedy: no, he has as much information as my mayor pam, she is lovely and watches the news, but also has no idea, and i would not call pam to try to figure out what is spying on us, how many are there, what are they capable of intercepting communications? what kind of pictures, what intelligence can they gather that can be used against us. and if it is an extraterrestrial, that's even worse, because the president seems so scared and confused that he has literally run away from this issue, so right now we want to be hearing from the president. we want to hear from the secretary of defense. we want to hear from people who can go pew pew and protect us. they want us to be a peaceful and strong country, but if we are breached under attack, they want to know that we are capable of assessing and defending
9:05 am
ourselves swiftly. >> martha: absolutely, so we are about to hear in a little under an hour from career karine jean-pierre, and a spokesperson for national security counsel for the country so obviously they will get a ton of questions about what the heck is going on up there, lisa. there some suggestion in one of our folks on the ground asked this question about whether or not it was maybe a weather balloon, and there is some suggestion might have been one of ours. so maybe a little egg on the face, we don't know. we are working on the story to confirm. >> lisa: it is not a good time to take a hot air balloon ride, since we are shooting everything down. we went from joe biden saying that the chinese space craft was not a major breached and now we are just shooting everything down. and i don't -- even if we did hear from the administration, i don't trust anything we will be told.
9:06 am
this is an administration that told us they took out a taliban worker and was actually droning an aid worker and his family and i don't trust the administration's judgment especially with the reports that we were the ones that potentially took out the nordstrom pipelines, not russia. so i don't even believe anything to be told from this administration. >> martha: not a major breach i thought was very significant comments from the chinese, from the president about the tiniest, and i also think, michelle, when you look at this i'm thinking, probably a good idea that we have a space for us, people that laughed when president trump put it together and i'm thinking this is probably a very important branch of the military at this point. >> michelle: i would love to hear from them too, because we are not hearing anything, chuck schumer saying it's a coup to get over the water is like saying it was a coup that we got to more people airlifted out of afghanistan than any other air left in world history. he is trying to make lemonade out of some really sour lemons. i think there has been so much
9:07 am
inconsistency we don't need to shoot it down over land, because we don't want to risk any lives, but we will shoot it down over lake huron four days later, they're so much inconsistency. they either don't trust us to give us information, like they don't have faith that we can handle it, they don't have it which is even scarier, or some kind of combination of the two. all the above, because when you go to the airport and your flight is late and the weather is perfect, and you're like likewise the flight late? and nobody told you anything, it's frustrating and distrustful, all of those things that joe biden makes you feel because he won't talk and then when he talks he says look, mr. and gets all hostile about it, so we want some straight answers and it's about time that we get them. their balloons over this country and we don't know what they are capable of. >> martha: this video in 2004 picked up by navy sailors, watch this. okay, there is no audio on that,
9:08 am
but what you will be hearing is their astonishment, what is that thing? that effect. the tiktok on the screen and the naval aviator's intelligence not sure what that was, jake, and then we get revisiting these videos when we hear this discussion that maybe it is something extraterrestrial. >> jake: the lack of clarity from the administration really is the story, as a military officer you know that decisiveness is a key, right or wrong, but even if you are wrong making a swift and command like decision can reassure your troops, and joe biden is not doing that, the silence is deafening, the american people want answers, and it shows weakness and cowardice, until they stand up front and be heard on this, there will be more questions. a >> lisa: would you trust anything they say? but why would we believe anything they tell us. >> martha: i think that we will get some answers coming up at 1:00 we will hear from john
9:09 am
kirby and i think that they do hesitate to say i am told that they until they are sure what they are talking about, they don't want to have to retract any of the statements, so we will be listening at 1:00 when we sort of get a sense of all of this. and i think that we do need to hear from the president. one of the biggest roles of the presidency is to reassure people that you've got it under con control. >> kennedy: that was supposed to be his biggest attribute, he was empathetic and a man of the people come the only feeling he has as he is in deep yogurt so he has to run away, i'm worried that "mars attacks" was a documentary. [laughter] >> martha: coming up jim jordan slammed per saying that only americans should vote in american elections. that is next. the payments high.nd

9:14 am
speak of the democrat led push to have illegal immigrants vote in elections has been a step back in d.c., last week the house voted 260 to 162 for a resolution to overturn a bill passed by the d.c. council in october. that bill would allow noncitizens the opportunity to vote in local elections, 42 democrats joining republicans to overturn the d.c. bill, congressman from ohio jim jordan called the d.c. measure ridiculous adding only american should vote in american elections. i mean, jake, that seems like common sense to me. >> jake: it's amazing how far left the window has shifted to say american citizens can only vote in american elections is somehow controversial, and they say it was chiseled into plymouth rock, 1973 is when d.c. home rule began, that has been a
9:15 am
failed 50 year experiment, everyone who has lived or traveled to d.c. knows that it is a crime-ridden dumpster fire of the city right now, it's time for congress to overturn the d.c. city council's authority and restore oversight to congress where it belongs. >> lisa: this comes as a push from the left for noncitizens to vote when we also have open borders and it seems like a problem to me. >> martha: i agree with jake, to allow americans to only build an american election seems like something we should not even have to talk about. and if d.c. wants to pass out law, passed that rule, then they are under the current constitutional set up the potential that the house might overturn that decision, so it seems to me that i don't expect to be able to vote in france or anywhere else in the world, immigrants who come to this country there is a rich tradition of that becoming a citizen and earning the right to
9:16 am
vote is a revered huge moment for people who come here legally, i know many of them who have earned the right to vote here and i don't think they would take kindly to having other people who did not go through that process have the right that they still fervently sought and studied for the test and pass and had the right to raise their hand in that state house or wherever they took that oath and have the right to vote. it's a sacred thing. >> lisa: comes in washington, d.c., where you have so many embassies, russia influence in our election, but isn't this allowing for that? >> michelle: it totally is, imagine you are the chinese embassy and you find out all of your employees can vote now, let's just send a bunch more over their comment assembly in paris, does she vote in the french elections? i highly doubt it. >> jake: who is emily and why is she in paris?
9:17 am
>> michelle: we will get to that at the break. but anyone can vote in our elections, because that's what this is open to you. it's any old person, you know, whether they are here legally and again, this is how they couched it, so many of them are black and brown people and they deserve the votes, they deserved to be heard, well, yeah, they do if they are citizens, but there is that virtue signaling of you are oppressing black and brown people and it is just so -- it's bad. >> lisa: kennedy, to martha's point, it's a sacred right to be able to vote. >> kennedy: kennedy. >> kennedy: i'm glad you use that word, i agree completely, my mom came over as a kid and some of the most patriotic people i know are -- and people who come to the country have suffered through a great deal especially communism to get here and live the american dream.
9:18 am
so you have two completely different questions which are being conflated together unfairly and illogically coming up immigration and we have a broken immigration system and there a lot of times where we need more in this country to do hard jobs and sometimes they want to go back to their home countries and other times they want to become citizens, but citizenship and immigration are two distinctly different things we have to treat them as such. citizenship is sacred and we have to be able to have a way of having more and better people come to the country to work hard and then eventually, yes, they can earn the right of citizenship, but it is not something that is bestowed upon someone lightly and we should not treat it like that. and of course everything is an issue about people who have been marginalized, but if our system is broken, then fix it so people aren't marginalized, but it's not the way to do that by circumventing federal law. >> lisa: i wonder if conflating the two is
9:19 am
intentional. >> kennedy: absolutely, you have a controlled voting block that you never think of, and if there are people that look a certain way they will tell them how you want them to vote, that is groupthink and a tory admits on. >> lisa: this is a very layered desire on the part of a lot of people in d.c. to make that happen. great conversation, going to try not to turn my microphone off. coming up, may be federally funded, but did not stop the smithsonian from kicking out a group of high school students because of their pro-life hats. and now the smithsonian is being sued over it. more on that next, stay with us. earning on my favorite soup. aaaaaah. got it. earning on that éclair. don't touch it, don't touch it yet. let me get the big one. nope. - this one? - nope. - this one? - yes. - no. - what? - the big one. - they're all the same size. wait! lemme get 'em all. i'm gonna get 'em all!

is a human right, how dare you, buttons that said love saves lives and a hat that read life always wins. plus another church with marked for life and placed on it, saying this in their apology "as the home to the original constitution and bill of rights which enshrined the rights of free speech and religion, we sincerely apologize for this occurrence, the policy expressly allows all visitors to wear t-shirts, hats, buttons et cetera that have protest language including religious and political speech." jake, shouldn't someone have convey that message to the personnel who work at these museums? >> jake: sure, but the incident exposes the federal bureaucracy is the employees that make up the federal government to lean left and they see their jobs as a mission to drive their leftist agenda further and further left on the american people. and the students and citizens it's pretty clear that that's what they want to do, and they

have a slap on the wrist or some clearing where they get yelled out is not going to stop them. until they see real consequences, talking or getting fired from their jobs, until that happens this will happen, pro-life, americans will be harassed and some places persecuted because these people, they feel they are invulnerable, and these are our buildings, national archives, the air and space museum, we are american citizens, they belong to us. we paid for them, so if you can free speech on these government buildings, then you can have free speech anywhere. >> kennedy: is shown in today have a teaching day where they can read the bill of rights? speaker jake makes excellent points, these are the institutions where we celebrate freedoms of speech, and to what has happened is that we have gotten into a situation where people think they can just sort of unilaterally decide what is hate speech in the moment, right? so all of these folks were outside marching there's a ton
9:27 am
of people all over them all, they say oh, my gosh, now we are coming to the museum and someone makes a decision, i would imagine and hope that it was at a lower level who says you can't come in wearing that stuff. and what is that stuff? i had that says rosary pro-life appeared to the other thing that disturbs me is that the term pro-life now is being attacked coming are not supposed to use that term, i have heard even -- 's >> jake: because it is effective. >> lisa: that term is not appropriate, if it isn't, what is? >> kennedy: people should be able to decide for themselves how they designate their bel beliefs. >> lisa: in washington, d.c., when you go to a sporting event you see people with different gear for different teams, and that's what happens in d.c. all the time, it is a political place, it is our nation's capital, that's where everyone goes to express their political views.
9:28 am
>> michelle: this is part of a larger movement we have seen growing where all speech is being suppressed or kicked out, i live in minnesota, the mall of america, the biggest mall in the country, a man walked in wearing jesus saves t-shirt and has accosted telling him coming you have a choice, you take off your shirt or you leave them all for wearing a shirt that says "jesus saves." it was ridiculous, and the point was you have offended people with your shirt, and again, being offended is a choice, i have said it wants, has had it a million times, you get to choose your reaction to that church, secondly if you do choose to be offended, you're giving up your power to that person and now you get to decide how -- i'm offended, what do i do next? do you go to the authorities and complain i want those people out of this museum? or do you walk away and go finish your shopping? or look at things in the archives? it's really insane how the duration or the sense that being
9:29 am
offended is really like you are a victim. it's insanity. >> lisa: the sense of entitlement that goes along with it, so it has to go somewhere, or lawsuits the only stand people can make when they are unfairly targeted? speaker i got so commando for them for part two suing that, it's what speech is -- we saw this during covid, it was perfectly acceptable to burn cities down in the name of black lives matter, george boyd, god forbid you want to go to church, or protest the vaccines, and what have you, but it's worse than that, you mention the word persecution, we are seeing a trump supporter's, conservatives in america we have seen it was january 6, with people in jail who took a tour of the capital being treated as if they were terrorists as well, we saw with mark cope, a pro-life activist who was facing federal charges

for simply trying to encourage a woman not to get an abortion, think out a jury acquitted him, but they show up at his house with guns a blazing, the fbi, police, and i spoke to his attorney in front of his seven kids, so that's where we are today in america, so i think that the biggest problem is that pro-life is seen as hate speech by a large proportion of today's society. >> kennedy: i'm sure that you can walk into the mall of america was something that says like "f you will" and nobody is going to say anything to that, or the person wearing it has little kids with them. it >> jake: or you can loot the mall and get away with it. steal the shirt. >> lisa: biden shirt i see as hate speech, but you don't see me use today and don't neck saying anything. >> kennedy: against diversity programs and hiring processes saying that discrimination is worse, that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ul

9:36 am
practices or using the ei as a condition of employment leads to the alienation of individuals in the workplace, what say you, jake? >> jake: sports in the military, and other is perfect, but i think that they hold high positions in american life and culture because they are generally meritocracy is. people rise and fall based on their talents, their ability, character, or lack thereof, and that's why americans like those institutions generally, as we have seen these de&i programs are the polar opposite, and what they are these days is thinly veiled white discrimination, and the left is leftists furthering their agenda, so i'm proud of the politicians on the right to our waking up and getting rid of these harmful de&i initiatives, because america generally should be more like sports, pro in the military where people rise and fall based on their talents and ability is not based on their skin color or some kind of
9:37 am
superficial narrative. >> kennedy: what about the idea that we used to hang on to a quality, that used to be an ideal, but that has been replaced with equity. so it is a shell game of words where we change meaning with something that means something completely different and antithetical them what we were fighting for in the first place. >> michelle: equity means equal outcomes for everyone no matter what, and it means generally that you have to lower all standards to have everyone reach them, right? if you raise them all, only the very best are going to reach those, which is as it should be coming you don't want to discourage bright and talented people from achieving their highest objectives, if you just lower them and say you only have to get to this point so we can be equal, where does that leave us? it's in a pretty decimal space. and again some of these are arbitrary to me personally. i know there have been

marginalized communities, but i'm not going to sam only going to try out green-eyed guys for a receiver, because the grain in their eyes is an easier target, exercise, physical makeup, it has merit. what can you achieve, how good can you be and equal access to those opportunities, not forcing everybody to just live at the same -- >> kennedy: you bring up something really important which is the idea of equal outcomes coming are never going to have equal outcomes. you know, they are so many variables that go in each human being to temperament and talent and drive and things like that. that that is impossible, so where do we go from here? what is the fix? >> lisa: equality, not equity. it's called diversity, equity, and inclusion, when equity is not diversity and is also not inclusive, so of course it leads to discrimination, equity does because it is discriminatory
9:39 am
against certain groups and promotes others. but i think god for a governor abbott and go for republicans asserting states rights. we have seen an increase in this particularly since covid, these are state agencies, so he has the authority to do this, we have seen governor ron desantis taking on disney and then manage mack nhl, moving the woke prosecutor, so i think more republican should assert state rights and stand up for what is right. >> martha: how do we get back to a meritocracy? because that seems to be the goal of the left with this mentality is really eroding t that. >> martha: in a perfect world you would have to look at an applicant and not know the color of their skin, not know the different things about their background, judging them based on their merits and their excellence that they have demonstrated and their ability to do a job, right? so if you had blind admissions for example at colleges, you would have a different mix.

and i will -- have always believed that if you truly do that you will end up with a very diverse environment, because you are going to see people excelling who are of all different backgrounds. but if you check the box and you try to have this number of this kind, you are going to end up with something that lowers excellence. this has become something where we seem to be afraid of as a country talking about being on the cutting edge, talking about being the best, talking about excelling and rewarding not to. and when you do reward that, everybody wants to be there. everybody wants to rise to that level. >> jake: it is contagious. >> martha: it is contagious, so i worry about it a lot and that country, because it's the wrong message to kids, to athletes, to people who want to succeed in any element. >> michelle: so many politicians that are trying to do something about it, governor abbott, ron desantis, they do so and they are called bigots, racists, homophobes, whatever. so you have to have a spine to

9:47 am
♪ the bombs bursting in air ♪ ♪ gave proof through the night ♪ ♪ that our flag ♪ >> lisa: i could just watch it for the rest of the show, it was beautiful, reminded me of whitney houston when she sang the national anthem and got everybody, went all through the crowd, that's what i was like that moment last night, the celebration of our country continued off the field too with this ad seen as tribute to america featuring johnny cash's fabulous song "ragged old flag." ♪ and now they have about quickly ♪ ♪ in our own good land, he or she has been abused ♪ ♪ she has been burned, dishonored, denied, refused ♪ ♪ and the government for which

she stands is scandalized throughout the land ♪ ♪ and she is getting threadbare an end wearing thin, but she's in good shape for the ship she is in, because she has been through the fire before, and i believe she can take on a whole lot more ♪ ♪ so we race her up every morning, we take her down every night ♪ ♪ we don't let her touch the ground ♪ ♪ and we fold her up right ♪ ♪ on second thought, i do like to brag ♪ ♪ because i am mighty proud of that ragged old flag ♪ >> martha: i think every history teacher in the country, you could teach a whole course using that ad and you could go through each event to that they discussed and you could have a discussion about it, a debate about it and use it as a syllabus to go through american history come i think it would be
9:49 am
a really interesting course to take it. so let me go first to super bowy veteran jake bequette, it is not 1949, it was the 49ers. you can't tell -- >> jake: benjamin button over here. >> martha: what did you think of that element? because it was all about kneeling during the flag, during the anthem, we have a whole different tune last night. >> jake: i was going to say, nfl, more of that, please. can we agree? ad that was fantastic. i am and critical of the nfl in their wokeness, michelle and i were talking off camera, but as a former player, being there for the anthem is one of the best parts of being in the nfl. it's an amazing scene, the flyover, the military appreciation and obviously it was captured with that eagles coach, he was overcome, a man at the pinnacle of his career, the biggest night of his life and it all hit them at once. and it was so fantastic to see,
9:50 am
patriotic people were texting me from all over the country like "more of this." soon i was so moved by his tears that almost made me an eagles fan for 5 minutes. i was very moved by that, kennedy -- 's before i was not that move. >> jake: let's not get carried away. >> martha: i was just saying almost, this is the jesus ad and what aoc tweeted out of it, hugely controversial, watch t this. ♪ ♪ ♪ through the eyes of a child ♪ ♪ what a wonderful world this would be ♪ ♪ there'd be no trouble ♪ >> martha: yes, you can see where that is hugely controversial, aoc said something tells me jesus would not spend millions of dollars on super bowl ads to make fascism look benign.
9:51 am
>> kennedy: as jake said, aoc, the great theologian, the woman that we turn to for spiritual guidance, she can sit this one out if people want to feel good for a little bit, let them feel good, if they won a moment of introspection and be moved by something, then have at it. why does she have to rain on everyone's parade if it differs slightly from her ultra leftist orthodoxy. i thought it was a very simplistic hot take, and you know, a lot of people may not confront her, but they feel very differently. >> martha: so her charge, lisa, was that somebody spend millions of dollars and there is speculation about who was behind this ad, but is it justified? >> lisa: it was a gut check, because look, i am partisan, i have the deeply held beliefs, and people who watch me know this, everybody on this couch knows this, it's a gut check there is a bigger enemy at play
9:52 am
which is satan, and there are more things that can unite us than not, and it felt like watching the super bowl last night it felt like the good times in america where people did not hate the country, where patriotism was not a bad thing, where the flag united us, did not divide us, and i hope we continue, because we need to have nice things again. we need to have things that unite us and sports used to be a new uniter and lately it has been a divider, but last night felt like the good old days when things were positive and more happy. >> martha: michelle, you have worked in this world unseen the ups and downs that jake referred to you, so somebody who loves football, work with the nfl, how did you feel about last night? >> michelle: i thought it was beautiful, i thought the anthem was awesome, i was sitting with a few people that were all different politically, and we were all sobbing, the johnny cash narration, again, just all sobbing. it was really, really moving. and that's a beautiful thing. i have often wondered why aoc
9:53 am
spends so much time and energy being angry and being upset and trying to divide, and finding negativity with every single thing. i don't know to what end, to what end? how is that helpful? to me when you have a country that is proud of itself, that loves each other, that believes in spite of our spotty history, we are progressing every day, we are trying to get better, that's him he will make us all happy and unified at the same goal of something we talked about earlier, just being really good at what we do. being really good at being american, but somebody like aoc finds a way to rain on the parade. it is to why the pendulum has swung back up, people do not like that version, it was divisive and kneeling during the anthem, people want to come tog. and the fact that it has swung in here we are, guess what, people feel better about that. >> martha: and made them tune out from a lot of nfl player
9:54 am
back in those days, this is tim scott saying about the players kneeling and praying and both of these quarterbacks are openly christian and talk about it, he said it is always inspiring to see these young men at the pinnacle of their fields profess their faith on the biggest stage of their lives, jake, what did you think about that? >> jake: there is no atheist foxhole, i'm not saying they are doing that for ulterior motives, but it is inspiring for doing that, we saw it when he had a situation during the postgame, and there's a lot of really strong believers in the nfl locker rooms and military barracks and people should be proud of that, because people of faith have a place in this country, this country was founded upon christian ideals, we should not be ashamed of that. we should not be reticent to express that, we should be bold and courageous and it was great to see that last night. >> martha: everyone can pray however they want to in that environment and it makes me think of the supreme court
9:55 am
decision that upheld that the high school coach could go to the side of the field and pray with players who chose to do that with him and i think, you know, i think that people do you feel like it reaffirms a lot of things that we can all sort of feel good about regardless of what your politics are. so more "outnumbered" right after this. stay with us., we will be right back.ha on your credit cards lately? get ready for a shock. the rate on credit cards is now over 22%. if you want to save hundreds of dollars every month, pay off the balances on your high-rate cards with a lower rate va home loan from newday usa and get the financial peace of mind every veteran deserves. no one takes care of veterans like newday usa.

10:00 am
>> goose bumps, i get goose bumps every time there is a flyover at a game, and normally like you are celebrating the all women stuff is so cool, but these were badass women. >> they should have not said it was all women and then on the field and celebrated, oh, wow, women. >> i love everything pro military, nothing wrong with men either. good for them. >> thanks, everyone. don't forget to dvr the show. now comes "america reports," i'll see you on "the story." >> sandra: piles of trash, filthy streets have businesses suffering, including the restaurant owner owned by lady gaga's father. who has just about had it, he says, with his hometown. >> john: does he have any hope mayor adams will bring the big apple out of the shadow? we'll speak to joe germita on the state of the cit
