♪ ♪ >> harris: happy first day of spring, he asked! we made it, who needs that groundhog? this is "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner, here with my cohost emily compagno and kayleigh mcenany, joining us fox news contributor with lisa boothe, and fox news contributor marc thiessen it's going to be hot. we begin with republicans rallying around former

president trump and going after his possible pending indictment as politically motivated. un-american, and another a partisan attempt to try to bring him down. a manhattan grand jury is hearing a case related to a hush money payment made to adult film star stormy daniels in the run-up to the 2016 election. today they will hear from one final witness robert costello, a one-time legal adviser to president trump's former attorney michael cohen. he is expected to rebut cohen who has been the key witness against donald trump, isn't he a known liar? just establishing that fact. the grand jury will then need to decide whether it will indict donald trump and that could happen as soon as tomorrow. several legal experts are questioning the strength of this case however, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg is looking to elevate the misdemeanor issue to a felony and make donald trump the first former president in history to face

criminal charges. and house speaker kevin mccarthy went after the case as partisan politics. >> last thing we want or have is somebody putting their thumb on the scale simply because they don't agree with somebody else's political view. that is what's wrong, and that's what infuriates people. and this will not hold up in court if this is what he wants to do. >> does not matter what side of the issue you are on, it does not matter if it was president trump or if this was a democrat. it should be equal justice in america. and stop going after people because you have political differences. i see people all the time that have political differences. i respect their opinion. i may disagree with it, but why would you ever try to use the law for it? it does not matter what side you are on. this is the type of thing month putt america hates and divides us and is wrong.

>> harris: house speaker kevin mccarthy suggested that committees go for it that are applicable to see if there are any federal dollars. congressman and also chair of judiciary jim jordan was on with me last hour, he and others sent a letter to demand an explanation on ongoing accusations, let's watch that really quick. >> we sent this letter saying we want to talk to you, we want to know what is going on. we want to see the communications that have taken place between the federal justice department and your attorneys in manhattan, because we understand, harris, first they went after president trump on russia, then it was a phone call, then they wanted the tax return, then the business record, then his children and out some misdemeanor alleged bookkeeping error, and this is from the prosecutor who initially did not want to do this. in fact, he had people resign because he was not going to do this because no one else will bring the case. >> harris: all sorts of thoughts on the timing of this and all of the crime building out here in the mirror trying to turn things around and eventually the finger is going

to point to alvin bragg and is soft-on-crime policies. but let's set aside what potentially could be personal for him and let's focus in on the case and where it is. what you make of it? >> well, there's no chance that this is going to be successfully prosecuted, and this is just like -- i think the democrats are miscalculating, this is just like the previous efforts to get donald trump, the molar probe, what happened? his popularity went up, first impeachment after ukraine, his popularity went up, so this will backfire on them and it will backfire on them in the sense that most republicans even republicans who don't want to donald trump to be the nominee and 2024 don't hate donald trump. they thought that he was a great president, they may not like how he behaved after the election, they may not like what happened on january 6, they may think he made himself toxic with swing voters and can't win, but they don't hate donald trump. and what this will do is because all of those voters to rally around donald trump and make it more likely that he is the

nominee. and i think that maybe what they want, because if you look at the 2022 midterms, they spent tens of millions of dollars trying to get maga trumped nominee is selected, because they thought it would be easier to beat, and once they missed the clicks, and two, they think you might be easier to beat and they want him to be in the nominee, this helps. >> harris: stick with the politics for just a second, that's ridiculous thinking, because he was not on the ballot and he was the first essay that may be some of those were not the best candidates. maybe some of them he said that about pretty openly, but he is not those candidates, his somebody who is fund-raising right now. >> kayleigh: he is fund-raising, to quote "the wall street journal" editorial here, they basically said this, mr. bragg may not understand the political forces he is unleashing and might want to enforce the babylon bee headline on twitter, manhattan d.a. announcing plans to get

donald trump elected in 2024, which is pretty funny and true and well said by the editorial board. this is a very profoundly troubling time in our country, whatever you feel about donald trump's, his tweets, his actions, whatever you feel about joe biden and the way he acts or how he has put it here, when you have a candidate for the president of the united states in this case former president who is being pursued with a novel legal theory, which i know that emily will likely get into, a 7-year old charge and they are targeting him in as to quote andy mccarthy, no one who is not named donald trump will be charged with this, we live in an troubling time where our republic looks like a banana republic and that should concern everyone. speaker mccarthy said it as best as i have heard it puts, politics aside, this is just simply wrong. >> harris: bananas are delicious. because this looks purposeful in terms of a shiny object, but tell me about the merits of the

case, emily, is there anything here? >> emily: to do the xs and os, this is coming up to the 2016 election, the $13$130,000 payment made by michael cohen, then president trump said turning to stormy daniels for a alleged affair in 2006. according to alvin bragg, that resulted in falsification of business records. now that's traditionally a misdemeanor here in the state of new york, but it is known as wobbler which means it can be elevated to a felony if there was intense to commit another crime or aid to concealed the commission thereof. now here likely what the d.a. will be arguing is that that led to campaign finance fraud and that's why it can be elevated to a felony, but here's why that's important for a few reasons, number one, the statute of limitations for falsifying is just two years, so that's ran a long time ago, but if you elevate to a felony, then that's a statute of limitations for five years that has given the

d.a. this time to bring it. and another thing for viewers, is to your point, kayleigh, it was investigated for years, and declined to be prosecuted not only by the department of justice, but the federal commission and also declined and dropped by alvin bragg himself in 2021. and guess who protested? the lead prosecutor of the case under cyrus, the prior d.a. and he eventually wrote a book that just came out excoriating the d.a. saying, how dare you not have prosecuted president trump, there were clearly crimes and stung by the criticism, it was called a political justice ironically when he declined to prosecute the case and did the investigation, people said that's really fair because if you had pursued this, it would been clearly political, so what has changed? no more witnesses are no new facts have come to light. the only intervening factor is

that president trump announced his candidacy for 2024. and so here we have the d.a. that has not only reduce 50% of the felony is in this town to misdemeanors, he also prior to this declined to prosecute this person and proceed with the investigation has now resurrected the investigation and potentially will bring charges if convicted in the grand jury if they bring an indictment and has elevated it to a felony. so there are a few more things. remember white collar crimes about 38% of referred are actually prosecuted. so the numbers on its face are staggering. the infant to a small chance that this would've been not only prosecuted, but a successful prosecution and i will close by saying what president trump's attorney has says, who says for the d.a.'s office to charge former president trump a victim of extortion with a crime because michael cohen when a convicted liar paid the extortionists will be unprecedented and outrageous selection prosecution, because

remember michael cohen's convicted crimes were lying to congress, so the d.a. is saying we are basing this entire case on someone who convicted, lied six times regarding the same concept. it's troubling at a minimum good >> marc: case dismissed. >> lisa: is a perversion of resources, we hear nancy pelosi say that president trump is not above the law, but is also not beneath it. or the equal application of the law, and if this was a john doe, do we think that the manhattan d.a., this would have their attention? $130,000 payment to a porn star, no, that would not have the attention, that tells you what do you need to know and the political witch hunt additives and the left looks at donald trump as a trophy. but what are they willing to do to get that trophy? they have poured gasoline on the country and let it on fire, not a single american, americans don't have trust in the government anymore and they shouldn't. they have corrupted the department of justice and the fbi to try to get trump, and

corrupted the rule of law as well, you look at what is left in the wake and it is a country on fire. >> harris: so lisa, who steps up and puts this to rest? is it going to be one of the republican led committees? how do you see this playing out? >> lisa: this is the president moving forward and you probably see republican governors moving forward going after their political opponents and then we look like the banana republic that kayleigh mentioned when she was talking, that's the path they put us on. and it is sad. this is no longer america. >> harris: there is one more tumbler that has to fall, that is a massive investigation going on right now in the joe biden family, and with those dozen or so for james comer, head of oversight will be really interesting to see how those business dealings in the millions play a part as china's leader just dropped in for somebody time, quality time with vladimir putin, a suspected war criminal. there's a lot of backdrop.

>> harris: i called it a shiny object. coming up, china and russia, two of the biggest rivals, i was just talking about them, they like each other so much, i wonder if they have those friendship bracelets that obama and biden had. and the test is on for president biden, can he pass it? credit card debt? e and still have cash left over to put in the bank? with a newday 100 va cash out loan, you could do it all. take out an average of $70,000 - with no upfront fees. no upfront appraisal fees, termite inspection, or water test fee. because a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we support immune function. supply fuel for immune cells and sustain tissue health. ensure with twenty-five vitamins and minerals,

♪ ♪ >> kayleigh: a meeting of two major world leaders underway, and our commander in chief is not one of them. china's president xi jinping's in moscow meeting with vladimir putin, sit down, the first since russia is brutal moment of ukraine comes days after the international court issued an arrest warrant for war crimes. it highlights the growing cooperation between the two

countries, but also serious concerns surrounding china's potential involvement in the war after previously calling for a cease-fire and peace talks. they are skeptical questioning china's motives. >> coming out of this meeting there some kind of call for a cease-fire, that's going to be unacceptable. because all that will ratify the conquest to date. all that will do is give them more time to refit, retrain, reman and try to plan for renewed offenses at the time of his choosing. >> kayleigh: so ahead of this meeting you have the chinese communist party paper saying this, standing on the brink of a new era and our relations, the russia china relations have reached the highest level in their history, and then xi jinping has a piece in a crumbling newspaper in which he says, not alignment, noncompetition, nontargeting of third-party essays based on the relationship and it is about friendship, cooperation, and

peace, and think that ukraine might think otherwise. >> it is a plug add putin, here is the interesting thing, and first of all this whole chinese, russian, special relate relationship partnership started before the war in ukraine, and china has kept them at a arms distance, they have been shocked at the unified response. and did not expect that to happen, they have been shocked at how poorly they have performed, and their principle is that it's protected, and they expect them to be a part of their sovereign territory, so if they were to endorse or support sovereign country, that's kind of hypocritical for them and puts them in a moment for taiwan, so they have been very careful about going too far and helping russian in ukraine. >> kayleigh: we don't know if they are provided weapons or plan to do so, no question of that, but economically they have been helping them evade the u.s.

sanctions. >> harris: they have been doing that, and the other part we don't know about what they are doing, the national security adviser for the white house said that we were going to wait about ten days ago. we are going to wait on china to tell us exactly what they want to do. i have sources that say that they put soft kits on the grounds they are, you get some video if you try. it's chinese markings with the gear, some of the softer gear that the guys are wearing, meaning they are not handing them tanks, but they are giving them other things, and the kids are so poorly made, they are basically getting russians killed, or the mercenaries killed which is a really interesting idea, because we are not going after that. i guess it would be part of a minor incursion, but i don't think we know what our foreign policy is when it comes to ukraine, i think that we are so thrilled that people are coalescing with us and all of that, but that is not a policy. it just because you have friends who are willing to take the walk with you is not policy, what is our end game? what is the doctrine?

what are we hoping? do we think we can talk ukraine out of taking those drones? no, do you think that they can talk them out of taking any semblance of a friendship with china? no, so what is the end game? >> kayleigh: i can tell you globally, stepping back, china and russia all buddy buddy, i saw this headline a few weeks ago about xi jinping helping to broker normalization of relationships between saudi arabia and iran, so they've's were no more lies, instead should end as to have been in brokering saudi arabia and israel normalization on the world stage. it would've been if my former boss was still here. >> lisa: and on the way with the abraham accord, we live in a dangerous world because of joe biden's weakness. and my only thing is that there is this argument that if we don't intervene and ukraine and we don't fight russia and ukraine, that then china would invade taiwan, but if you are china, wouldn't you want us to be doing what we are doing in ukraine, because we are

distracted, we have depleted our resources and are depleting our military arsenal right now, so why would you not want that? and meanwhile, president xi jinping has a war cabinet with the air force general saying that there could be, likely a military confrontation between china and the united states in 2025. so i don't know, if you are china, why wouldn't you want this to be happening? >> marc: it's different capability, and we need -- they are an island, it's a tired different set of capabilities depleted, number two, ask yourself a simple question, did joe biden's disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan and bold in the vladimir putin to invade ukraine? 100% true, if that's the case, how much so would a russian victory and bold and xi jinping in china? in taiwan? it would send a message that america is not a serious world power, and all of the people, if we have taken that advice, all of the people criticizing

joe biden for supporting ukraine, if he had not supported ukraine, then every conservative would be saying coming to see what happens? joe biden, he led the taliban take over, and now he is letting vladimir putin take over kyiv. >> emily: i think it was defending the air force base and doing what he did was getting the 13 service members, but what is mining look like to you then in ukraine? how do we get to that point? is it 20 years like afghanistan? putin don't make >> marc: actually, it's not, general jack keane said the reason they can't win it's because joe biden is only giving them the weapons they need to not lose, but not the weapons they need win. if the russian military has been proven itself so weak, if you gave them the weapons that joe biden is not giving them, the long-range missiles, f-16s, all of the tanks and things like that, they could

drive russia out of all of ukraine including crimea by this time next year. and it would be over. and that's without a single american troop on the ground. facebook.com/outnumberedfnc i know we watch this illustrative of a divide in the g.o.p. on this issue, one thing mark levin said that, intention and i am paraphrasing here is that if you told me for a couple billion dollars we could decimate the entire russian army, i would say that's a deal and i am paraphrasing. which i think -- reflects how a lot of people feel, why has this been allowed to drag on so long with our tax dollars if we could've gotten it done in one second if that's how everybody felt ideologically. regardless whether chinese was surprised at the might that they extended over the last year, they will proceed come hell or high water with their own plan, i think that that's a blip on the radar, because keep in mind that their tendrils are globally entrenched far deeper than the administration will discuss, and every country in every continent today of capital, that's why it has been brokering between iran and saudi arabia, that's why they are in the arctic council,

we aren't even on the arctic council, so there are a lot of complexities and trump cards that china has that they play in every backroom poker game that is happening that unfortunately through joe biden's refusal to exhibit any form of strength whatsoever we no longer have a place at those tables. >> lisa: we also don't know what they are doing, because they use unconventional warfare as well. >> it will be interesting to watch the g.o.p. primary on this very issue, coming up, spring breakers gone wild, think so out of hand that a popular destination is a state of emergency and imposing a curfew. that's next. so it's decided, we'll park even deeper into parking spaces so people think they're open. surprise.

is not college students, the us not college students descending on miami beach, they are adults going down to cause a ruckus, they want to drink, do drugs, do bad things and it turns a city into chaos and they do this curfew and have to declare a state of emergency, but i saw some things. >> marc: you will never uns unseal. >> lisa: this one lady with her bathing suit, and i was like in case mom is watching. >> harris: cover up buttercup. >> lisa: woman to woman, just trying to help you out, lady. >> emily: and the assistant chief of police department said they dread this, it's an absolute risk to the officers, to the students, to the drugs, violence, you name it, overdosing on alcohol, so many risk factors and they do all they can and they argue that we should stop incentivizing the businesses for spring break. if anything we want to deter them, these hotels that give deals and whatnot, because all it does its risk everything for

boxing gloves came in, but boy have things change, and i tell you one thing that has changed his joe biden has unleashed the worst crime wave since the 1990s and to the worst border crisis in american history and now you have a shooting in miami, they are facing the crime, and you have police officers handing out narcan to these kids, because the drugs they might be doing could be laced with fennel, so and he makes everything worse. spin on that was the point that i wanted to talk about. >> emily: it so well, apparently letting loose, because on campus they are so strict, you can't do this, can't do this, can't do this without willing to such stringent standards, so it's almost as if the gloves come off socially on spring break even those of those boxing gloves come on on the beach. it's going to want to get back to something that lisa said, and that was the average age you see this come a little bit older that you might've thought, not college kids necessarily and you talking about fentanyl comes to where you going to find a concentration of fentanyl this

weekend? maybe it is where people assume that they are going to have a younger crowd and they are disguised and all sorts of ways and after interviewing the mom who lost two sons who were about that age group coming in oh, one just graduating high school the day before he died from a fentanyl poisoning, his brother at the same time, talking to her they are lacing these products now with horse tranquilizer, which means that the narcan won't work. and so i panic when i see this. i really do. because it makes me think okay, they are going to take it up a notch, they are partying, their guards are down already, they are intoxicated, whatever, who is watching out for the people who might be slip something or take it because they want to come up and not realize how deadly dangerous it really is, because there is fentanyl and other stuff. >> emily: let's end on a light note, what is your message for spring breakers? >> lisa: i did spring break, so i can't tell you not to do it! >> emily: i'm like do it. >> lisa: but i did in college.

>> harris: california governor gavin newsom is facing pressure to take executive action and unilaterally enacted a massive plan for reparations. far left just putting pressure on him. proposals across the state are calling for big payouts, even though california is facing a nearly $23 billion projected deficit in its budget. still, one plan wants to hand out $360,000 per person to nearly 2 million black californians. the total cost of that program

would be a whopping $640 billion. so i made this comment last hour that this is like the new level of discrimination. because you half to prove that you deserve these reparations. so are they giving black litmus tests or blood tests? or figure out who is closer to being, who is closest generationally? this is weird. >> marc: it is crazy, and california was the epicenter of the turn of the last century of anti-asian demonstration, so our asian citizens going to get aid? if there was a state that needs to pay reparations to asian americans, this would be the one. if gavin newsom set out to make his state the worst in the country, he could not do a better job than he is doing, this is a state they have run out of u-haul because so many people are leaving, and so, you are going to pay reparations and how are you going to pay for that when you have a $25 billion budget deficit, you are going to

raise taxes, so they drive more people out so they have less money to pay the reparations, it is just insanity. >> harris: emily, what does this accomplish? is he trying to get the black vote? because i thought that was like south carolina's job, that's why they skip to the front of the line for primaries for demo democrats. >> emily: for all of the lip service of the underserved and people of color, he says, and i am the best one to lead you. and i am the best one to speak for you, so it's always against the landscape of the complete hubris that he is telling people in that box that he has checked how to vote and think. and it was established in 2020, in the wake of the george floyd protest, and none of these members are white, and they suggested the increased amount by 60 percent in the last year, they say because of racial disparities in housing discrepancies and incarceration, health harm, they say that this is just the tip of the iceberg of what these residents deserve, but it is to the tune of

billions, we have not established who is going to pay for it, this is a state paying $17 billion for the largest homeless population in the country including $830,000 per single homeless person in los angeles. so governor newsom has a lot to answer for in terms of to me if he were to sign this off, it would fly in the face of its authenticity, because he knows full well he can't pay for it. so what is he doing then? just placating yet another example of the racism he and the holds. >> harris: yes, it just builds more of it, what if you are one of the homeless who happens to not to be in a diversity category racially? what if that's the case, and they have already spent $17 billion, william la jeunesse did some great reporting on this last week. there is very little to show for all that money they spent in california on the homeless in and they are going to spend 23 billion on this program, how does it manifest itself? how does it make like better for california? >> i think i might be a shiny

there is a push for this to go to the federal government, and they are going to push hard on this, because activists have said, look, if the california legislature won't do this, gavin newsom, we expected to do this, and they are also putting pressure on joe biden saying we want you to do this with your pen with executive action as well. and we see sometimes activists get their way, he could not get student loan forgiveness, so he did with the stroke of a pen, it's now being litigated up to the supreme court, so we will see. >> emily: he has to approve this, so it does take the governor's approval, so his is in fact the final you know, the final approval. >> lisa: prayers for california, because he is a mess. >> harris: coming up, the goalie for the san jose sharks lament sharks chooses not to wear a pride jersey citing his religious beliefs, the backlash is brutal. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

christian, not just in title, but in how i choose to live my daily life. i have a personal faith in jesus christ who died on the cross for my sins and the response asked me to love everyone and follow him. i have no hate in my heart for anyone, and i've always strived to treat everyone that i encounter with respect and kindness coming in this specific instance i am choosing not to endorse something that is counter to my personal convictions which are based on the bible, the highest authority in my life. the team issued this statement in response. as we promote these standards, we also acknowledge and accept the rights of individuals to express themselves including how or whether they choose to express their beliefs regardless of the cause or topic. as an organization, we will not waver in our support of the lgbtqia+ community and continue to encourage others to engage in active allyship. harris, excepting the right of individuals to express themselves i think this is what this was about. >> harris: it sound like a response that should garner whatever this young player would

like to do. which is not wear the jersey that goes against his religious -- and he did not necessarily say he does not believe in one thing or the other, it's his personal choice to live according to what is the biggest authority in his life, jesus christ and the bible. sound like statement accepts that. i have news for him though, when you are bold with your faith and please be bold with your faith, they are going to try to cancel you. and it is something to be aware of, but this felt mutually supportive of whatever, he may not be the only person who does not want to wear that shirt for a whole host of different reasons. >> kayleigh: i think that is so true about the trying to cancel you, because the statement seems supportive, we will see what remains for his career, but it is fierce criticism he got, take a look at this, one hockey writer said he looked like a clown, absolutely a homophobe, another called the sharks the trash organization for simply saying we let people say or do what they want, the criticism is fierce, and there are other i won't get into.

>> lisa: i would say he is brave for standing boldly in his faith, and why are nhl teams forcing their players to wear pride flags, the pledge of allegiance to the lgbtq agenda, and i look at society's version of the lgbtq agenda, the same as the black lives matter movement where it's not about supporting gay people or black people, its submission to the marxist agenda that is pushed on society, that's why they are so mad he would not wear this. and increasingly living in a country where you are not going to see bigotry towards lgbtq members, but you are towards christians. and we are seeing it with a way that he has been treated. >> harris: with the facebook out, yes, we know. >> emily: he is saying the bible is his highest authority, and if you deny me on earth, i will deny it to my father, he is living authentically and vocally about his highest authority, god bless him on that and that something we should all aspire

to. the criticism so harshly fierce, so absolutely repulsive, so much we cannot put on our error, and i know one particularly hateful and ugly worded backlash from lindsey gibbs who has the right or a power play which is a no b.s. newsletter about sexism in sports and in response to the comments, which was beautifully worded and frankly spoke to again, his love for all people, she said under the umbrella of disingenuous b.s., you can f right off with the statement, if you truly believe your community, if you truly believe the community is welcome, you will wear that shirt. you do not get to have it both ways. and then she says "jesus is not impressed." now pretend the person she is responding about his devout muslim, i see that hypocrisy where there are certain organized religions that the left woke segment has deemed okay, and in that case everything goes, and there is a

protection of support for the authentic practice of their faith, which should be employed and applied to all faiths, but instead if you are judeo-christian, if your question, you are absolutely blacklisted and canceled, so good on the organization, but as guy benson said on the couch with us, having that knee-jerk coming at us, we are the jury coming as we put out of the statement that clearly our attorney wrote, et cetera, that lack of authenticity is quite transparent also, and final point, go penguins. >> marc: ranger is! [laughter] >> harris: you may remember this, the nfl pushing back when those players wanted to wear an emblem after those five police officers, now we are not allowed to do that in sports society coming in and broadening it out, you cannot even have a conversation apparently about that, because they cannot even bring it up. but we can push against players who want to adhere to their

faith the way that emily had put it. >> marc: imagine a different scenario, imagine he has a quicker whose religion is passive test, and he decided on military appreciation night he wasn't going to wear the camouflage jersey and he put out a statement saying i'm not colin kaepernick, i love america, a great respect for the men and women who serve our country, but i am a pacifist, my religion calls me to do this and i can put on any symbol that supports war. the same people who are criticizing james reimer would be celebrating him for do that. this is, we are free country, in a free country we don't compel speech. and this is a difference between the left on the right, the right to looks and says if you know where your pride jersey, more power to you, the left side is eve don't, you are a bigot. and that's what is wrong with it. if it is this guy or this guy or a guyana cake shop who wants to bake a cake, let people live their lives as they see fit. >> kayleigh: look how soft it
