9:01 am
once again with already crowded republican field set to get even bigger. we are learning former new jersey governor chris christie is set to announce his bid for the white house on tuesday of next week with former vice president mike pence expected to launch his campaign the next day. meanwhile the already declared candidate sweeping through crucial primary states. former president trump returns to iowa with several campaigns with a town hall with sean hannity airing on fox news this evening. meanwhile both florida governor ron desantis and entrepreneur looking to sway voters in new hampshire. but one candidate remains absent from the campaign trail. i will give you one guess, yep, president biden yet to hold any rallies or major campaign events since announcing his reelection bid back in april. peter doocy pressed the present on that yesterday. >> mr. president, how is your
9:02 am
reelection campaign going? we haven't seen you yet? the official campaign rally. >> emily: harold, what message does that send to american voters looking for clear leadership centered message from the incompetent? >> harold: first off, it is good to be on the sofa with you because i'm a fan of "outnumbered." when you become president, you are out largely campaigning every day and anything and everything you do is being judged. and having been at the white house, everything you do is judged every day. whether or not you get elected appear the president thinks about campaigning, one or two things in the white house, when is the polling data robert f. kennedy jr. depending on the polling data a 28%-32%
9:03 am
combined and polling data with the individual primary states including south carolina that poles those candidate, the president will think a little bit differently how they do things. perhaps even specifically saying this is a campaign event. but a big campaign win last night and republicans as well the debt ceiling increase 149 republicans, you kind of wished to do things like that in congress. if i were the president, i was pleased to see speaker mccarthy take a victory lap last night. the country should be proud congress was able to proverbial political gun to their head to, but they did behave in a mature way. i think the president, this is a long campaign. we will have an opportunity to cover a lot. >> emily: where we see a lot more? i'm not sure about that. >> kayleigh: i think the strategy and a ton of reporting on this cable news headlines, traditional formats, he seems to
9:04 am
want to sit in the oval office and let tiktok influencers make the case for him. i'm not saying it is not a smart strategy but voters will push for more accountability. they will want to see it on the campaign trail even among democrats. but interesting as we move to the g.o.p. side what we are seeing here appear the real clear politics average as trump up 48% nationally and fox poll, 33% nationally. what you will see candidates try to do here is every candidate but trump wants to see movement so i do you do that question were to draw a contrast on the issues. one marker that stands out to me tim scott. i will support 15 weeks of federal legislation to put us in line western europe eastern portion. he has drawn a line in the sand. trump, desantis and nikki haley has to answer or do you support that? something sean hannity good as trump, will you support that? nikki haley saying i want this competency test pushing every
9:05 am
other candidate to answer. will these policy contrast make a difference and secondly, next week new entrants in the race, chris christie who apparently has told axios he wants to be joyful and a happy warrior. i don't know if those words come to mind when i think of chris christie. he said i will never support trump under any circumstance. i'm not sure you will pick up a single primary vote with an attitude like that. no one and the republican primary trump every if the nominee with a small number. so, i don't know that will be successful candidacy. but then you have mike pence and couldn't be more different than chris christie coming up. i spoke to those in the campaign, he chose iowa intentionally and bank on midwestern vibe. he is from indiana a few states over and relating one-on-one with voters. you will hear forward-looking message next week. two new candidates, does that shake up the polling at all? we will see. mike pence is very good one-on-one, he has a very
9:06 am
likable guy so we will see what happens. be to so much to digest there, harris, what say you? >> harris: i want to get back to joe biden and what is happening in the race and just remind everyone axios reporting not many days ago slow out of the gate biden be far behind obama reelection campaign and staff and office space, fund-raising events, fund-raising reporting, campaign and reporting peer that was early this month. nothing has proven that to change all that much, certainly not being accessible on the trail. i understand what you are saying every time you see a presidential candidate particularly an incumbent, you put them in the box and not being judged. that is not quite the same as taking on the issues. so when robert f. kennedy jr. says he wants to debate and marianne williamson picking up a third and some polling as you pointed out, those are not necessarily people that would vote for kennedy or williamson but they might not vote for
9:07 am
biden which puts him in the republican field that has a lot of stars in it. they are not lacking people who can debate. they certainly are not lacking people to put in place policies like desantis, so on and so forth. governors. so biden needs the rest. he needs it more than i would need it even though it would never run. this is the fourth time he ran for president and he needs the reps because he doesn't get them smoothly. i would think on your side of the aisle, you would want him to have reps with the wins. he might not want to talk about the bill he just passed because allowed mccarthy to see 11% of the entire budget. he still found $1.2 trillion to cut. he might not want to talk about that because 97 plus days he took to come to the table and responsible taking us to a break. by the way if you have the magic number how to move the ex-date from june 1st to june 5th, please call my house.
9:08 am
>> emily: it was memorial day weekend. no one wanted to work. all of a sudden, the deadline changed. we will run out of money on the first, wait, it is a holiday. we will run out of money on the fifth. >> harris: why not the tenth? another chance a bite at the apple. >> emily: when you talk about joe biden, his philosophy before work for him. but he hasn't thought since a campaign event he hasn't gone to the battleground states and he avoids the press. he is not going to participate in the dnc debate, which i understand is normal for any incumbent. i would love to see you bobby kennedy and marianne, karl rove said on fox, you really need to know this candidacy. he was watching desantis give a speech. what i like about this speech as we are learning about him and learning about his record in florida and who he is as a politician and what you will give to the country. i thought i think the reason trump know so well is because we do know him and where he stands
9:09 am
on the border, inflation the number one issue right now and the economy is number one. crime we know where he stands on crime. we know where he stands on all of the issues. you worked with him so many years. so, i think he is familiar to all of us and he was exonerated with the durham report which i think a lot of people said, well i don't like this or that about donald trump. now you kind of understand why he fights back way had to start true social. everything he does, the press goes after him where the government goes after him. >> kayleigh: he has proven to be a fighter and he can do it again. >> ainsley: so the person most popular one that we know, we know him. we know biden. >> harris: he will be on "the faulkner focus" tomorrow, bobby kennedy. >> ainsley: could come i like what is saying. >> kayleigh: , xp to the town hall where we will know president trump even more. it is an exciting landscape,bway
9:10 am
9:12 am
9:14 am
>> harris: former president donald trump is speaking at the westside conservative breakfast in urbandale, iowa. let's watch. >> then you look at what they have done to the january 6th group. they destroyed them and destroyed their lives and a lot of them did not go into the building. it was a disgrace what is going on. that is a disgrace! that will go down in history ultimately. ashley babbitt was killed, shot, in my opinion by a rogue cop. he had no business doing that. he shot her unarmed. actually people said she was trying to hold back the people pushing her forward. ashley babbitt was the one
9:15 am
killed. she was the one killed, and they like to say five people chose this spirit happened to be somebody else also in addition to ashley for ashley abbott was a big supporter of everybody in this room. by every account, she was an incredible person and a great patriot. he shot her like no problem. they wanted to shield him, right? he ends up on nbc because he was so proud of himself. he thought he was a big shot. they have to look at his past record, by the way. take a look at his past record, by the way. >> your governor of iowa. [applause] >> i hate to say it without me she was not going to win, you know that, right? i gave you a couple. but i gave you some good people. we have some good people. as far as the time, a great question. i have been watching desantis go out and say, "i've got eight
9:16 am
years." it is going to be eight years. let me tell you something right there, it will take six months to have it totally the way it was him we will have it passed. and it is against the wall and getting criminals out of the country allowed to come in. so we will get them out, we will double up on ice and border patrol. incredible people, brandon judd, tom homan and some phenomenal people. but they don't use those words. they use very liberal, very radical left people. it is hard to believe. i did hundreds of miles and then we should do more? they gave the other locations and another 200-milestone. we would have been done within a few weeks here at the stuff was all there. they lifted up and took it to texas and arizona can't get it. you guys put it up yourself at least. but they didn't want it. these guys actually believe in
9:17 am
open borders. who can believe in an open border? but when i heard desantis go out and say and they talk about eight years, we need eight years. you don't need eight years. you need six months. we can turn this thing around quickly. if you need eight years, who the wants to wait eight years? i will have it turned around and we will be doing a lot of things and energy independent and six months and we will be able to do that. and i filled up the national reserves. i did a lot of things with cheap prices. congress held me back actually. i have it deal to fill it up for nothing. we have so much of it. we have more liquid gold under air feet than saudi arabia and russia. think of it, we have more than any other country! not only would we be dominant but we would be bigger than russia and saudi arabia times too. we will make a fortune with
9:18 am
energy. we were going to start paying off debt and further reduce taxes. it was so beautiful. it was working so great. then they shut it all down. but it is not eight years and six months. we will be back in business and sooner than that. we will be back in business and spending a lot less money for energy. and the prices will start coming down and a lot of things will start coming down. it will be beautiful to watch. it will happen very quickly. i'm very experienced. it's not like i'm going in and say again, this is a nice office. is this the oval office? it takes you about a year, can you believe this is the oval office? we will do it very quickly. i think within six months, you will see major, major part of tthe comeback. not eight years. he will stop saying that. if he needs eight years to turn it around, well, let me tell you, i will go four years and if
9:19 am
i do a great job, we will have a great republican. somebody will get another four years or eight years so it doesn't make any difference. when he says he heirs come i wince because if it takes eight years to turn this around, thenu don't want him as your president, third, fourth, fifth, six guys but usually about 1%. okay, thank you. [laughter and applause] we will do one more, go ahead. >> hi, president trump, i graduated high school two weeks ago. [applause] thank you. so my question for you is center last term in office, there have been a lot of attacks on education in terms of censorship in all of that. i was wondering what your thoughts on parental control and that kind of things in school choice and all of that? education is very important to me so i wanted to hear your thoughts on that.
9:20 am
>> very important question, congratulations, by the way? were you a good student? >> she just got an $80,000 scholarship. >> oh, wow! she is very modest. she is very modest. that is fantastic. congratulations. a very big on school choice. can you imagine that we have to talk about parental control and having parents basically having parents get involved? we have school systems that don't want to talk to the parents about their children. you talk about changing gender and things where the child can make a choice and the child can be unbelievably -- the country has gone sick. i don't like the term going woke and that's the term for after people can't defined. but you look at these things like women getting competing with men that were men and rmn.
9:21 am
and out there swimming and setting records. do you see the records being broken? records that lasted 19 years are being broken by, you know, 30 seconds? they are trying to win one 16th of a second, sir, swimming in one of them ends, a 16th of a second and trying to win for years. a guy comes along and breaks the record by numbers that will never be broken again unless you let a guy come along. the whole thing is crazy. i'm not a fan of lebron james. you know, if i were the coach and the girls basketball team i would have the greatest team and lebron, would you like to become a woman? [laughter] and i would go to another four or five guys and say, "we will be undefeated for many, many years. i will go down has the greatest coach in history." they will say it is the greatest ever. it is so crazy and that is all woke.
9:22 am
they defined it as well, but that is all woke. we have to bring common sense back to the country. you are conservative. yeah, i am conservative but more importantly, i'm a person with common sense and so many other people in this room. in our country needs common sense back. the leadership, we had great common sense for four years and produce the greatest economy effort. i rebuilt the military and a small portion of what we rebuilt. it was a massive amount but a small portion. when you look at what we did at the border and you look at what we did every single aspect and right to try where we had 58 years trying to get this where we have very far-reaching that were good but not approved by the fda. someone is terminally ill. we couldn't get the drugs. we would go to asia but go home and die and have no hope. they would go to europe and all over the world. very hard to get, actually very complicated for the companies, the labs didn't want it, the
9:23 am
doctors didn't want it. because nonliability clause that got approved that everybody is happy. we saved with right to try, thousands and thousands of lives for people terminally ill. people said, we can't do that because they may die. they will die anyway. and yet, they were in there close to 60 years trying to get that approved. i got it approved through congress. we had to go to congress on that one. and saving lives, tremendous numbers of saving lives. right to try. it sounds easy and you would think it would be easy to approve but it was very, very tough. i did that many years and i took care of the vets better than anyone a 92% approval rating and it's going way down, i have to say. [applause] we had a lot of bad people in the va and were not able to fire them because of civil service and various other reasons. i got that taken care of, and we
9:24 am
let go with 9,000 really bad people and also people waiting in line for literally months. some people becoming terminally ill because i couldn't get something taken care of early. you wait in line and have to wait in line more than 24 hours. you go outside to a private doctor and you get yourself taken care of. we actually, it actually saved money and saved a lot of money but when you think of it, we did things nobody has ever done. we are 92% approval rating and nobody -- i think 36 points higher than previous. so, we are very proud of what we did for the military and what we did for the farmers. i want to thank everybody for being here. we have a nasty race ahead of us because we have the communist, the marxist, the flashes after a spirit a lot of bad people after unsecured we have a lot of bad people in this country. fortunately, we have mostly
9:25 am
great people in this country. really the people in this room right from the beginning, we struck a chord. i didn't even have to work too hard. i worked hard once i got into office to produce all the things i said. and we will do it again in that space and do a great job for the farmers, the manufacturers. we will do a great job for the state. and i want to thank you for your support. you have been incredible. your leadership, you people have been amazing. thank you very much for that. thank you very much. thank you, everybody. we will see you soon. thank you. >> harris: the former president of the united states donald trump knows his audience in urbandale, iowa. farmers he speaking directly to the military families and the session, he was there at that conservative breakfast taking questions. the last person to ask a question just graduated from high school and on her way with a scholarship at yale. she is so modest. she didn't brag about that but her dad did in the audience for
9:26 am
her. we wanted to show you that. now, let's talk about that. kayleigh, when you look at the former president in that environment and you and i were talking how comfortable he looks, that is a small, intimate crowd in iowa. >> kayleigh: he is very good at that. in fact, i don't know if there is anyone in the race i can do it quite like him with a roomful of voters. i was in maine with him talking to fishermen. and he said multiple times, trump voters with tears in their eyes that said these four years meant this to me" to express gratitude. you so that interaction with that young girl. where did you get the scholarship from? yale. oh wow, you are modest. in his most winning moments talking about his record to trial legislation and talking how he filled up oil reserve. he can stick to policy and have that chart. it will be closed to my card to close at 30-point gap. doable hard. >> harris: easily where president trump does his best.
9:27 am
nobody can message like he can't because he is a marketer. he knows intimately like why he chose his policies. >> ainsley: he is relatable to the man that are the hard workers. the blue-collar workers here they look to him to say, wow, e he became a billionaire. he talks like us, act like us, maybe we can do that too. he is an inspiration to a lot of people. he has a fighter. they like that about him. in that speech, i noticed he had an interesting response to ron desantis. look, i can give you eight years. and he said, eight years? who needs eight years! i can do this in six months. come on, if it takes eight years you don't deserve the position. i thought that was interesting. they are learning how to have intelligence and comebacks to each other. so, ron desantis hits him with that and he hits back if you need eight years, you don't
9:28 am
deserve the job. >> harris: ron desantis was on during the time of "american newsroom" and he took both of the speeches. it was interesting to see how they would take those hits at each other without getting nasty were speaking the names. we know exactly. >> emily: to ainsley's appoint, the concept so we can make that choice. i have to say i found stark contrast to be the incumbent president that presidential concise, effective and touched a multitude of touch points, farmers, oil, and the like in a small amount of time. we were defective, clear messaging. that is a far cry from incumbent president and such a stark contrast how disheartening it is every time president biden. >> harris: herald brass tacks for a second when you don't see incumbent president out like this, how much does it hurt the campaign? not to be out there.
9:29 am
iowa is special and we have to get those groups and do more than eight spoons of ice cream and have gaffes. >> harold: president biden doesn't have to challenge as we seek president trump. president trump has five, six, seven, eight the next few weeks. >> harris: that only helps him in some circles. >> harold: speaking technically president biden is the president of the united states. comes at this different. president trump, i give him credit and i will agree everything he said. he is at his best when he's talking about people, talking about his policies and even if i don't agree with him what he wants to do for the country. if you are a democrat and you are president biden and a democrat, this is the candidate that would be the hardest to beat. when he gets off script and seems to get offended personally about things and reacts, that is when he is at his weakest. a moment like that, you have to campaign like that. president biden doesn't have to do that unless the numbers show him down. i think if he had to come he
9:30 am
would. but what i like about that of the contrast, one of the knocks on desantis, he is not able to communicate and relate with people as well as president trump. president trump to do what he did there this morning if he does more than that that 30-point domain 38.8 will grow. you don't find the candidates that do just that, tim scott will attract the canada but interesting to see how he pulls as well. president trump you have to give him kudos for this morning. >> kayleigh: retail politics is the name of the game and a place like iowa. the los angeles dodgers sparked public "backlash" after the team we invited a drag queen known for mocking christians and nuns to their annual pride night and gave them an award, right, an award. the dodgers are not the only one celebrating with controversial woke. now, one of the members of the groups had to be honored by the california senate's upcoming pride recognition night. not one awards now but two.
9:31 am
his name is michael williams and he goes by sister roma. state democrats are calling sister roma and outspoken global recognized figure, republicans aren't so thrilled. not many common sense people. james gallagher explained to fox news digital, "it is disgusting the california senate choosing to honor anticatholic hate group with democrats doing a racist group if mock or muslims, bigotry and discrimination against a lit religious group are wrong and have no place being honored into the state capital." ainsley, this group, they hold hands acting as fake nuns because they are not actual nuns. they have hunky jesus contest and go forth and send more appeared totally anti-christian and they get two awards. >> we are all adults and youth to make an decision how do you r
9:32 am
life. we will not tell people who they can love and who they can't. we are taught in church not to judge people. the problem i have is what you're saying because means a lot to me. i think everyone on this couch, we all have our faith. so that is what bothers me. they are holding annual foxy and hunky jesus contest and has a sense of humor but i don't think that would be allowed in church. and i'm sorry the bull dances i don't want my doctor to see that. and they are motto go forth and send more pure than 4 million catholics in l.a. and that doesn't include the president in the love jessu too but why would you support political pushes and campaigns because we saw what happened with bud light and what is happening with target what is happening with -- what are the other companies? they are losing millions and billions of dollars. the same thing with the dodgers.
9:33 am
you have the players standing up against the spirit what about us question what we play for this team and we are catholics. >> kayleigh: to that point, i would give him a lot of props, a great man and does so much for the community a man of faith on the dodgers and came out and said this has nothing to do with lgbqt community or pride but simply a group making fun of religion that i don't agree with. good for you clayton kershaw. >> trevor williams as well a picture for the cubs, the mets met in pittsburgh. he said mlb game a place all walks of life should be welcome here that is the purpose of different game nights like pride night. so, he is saying eventually including and honoring such a reference group and patently offensive group, that is nothing like the inclusivity of that these teams are supposed to be. he mentioned 4 million population there in los angeles county. i have to say by closing the records in certain religions,
9:34 am
extremist with fatality of those that have done that. so to mock and openly support mocking religion when it is so deeply personal and so deeply fundamental to us christians is so appalling to me and makes me never want to go to mlb game. >> harris: that will be their biggest problem. like i'm saying without dei you have to balance what promises you are making to the people that important to you behind the scenes, your shareholders, corporations and balance that with the people on the scenes. figure out what works. look, you don't have to sexualize everything. you don't! but that is what that means when pole dancing. that is why it is offensive to you. because it hurts because you know it is putting into a place that should be private. >> ainsley: we know what happened on that cross. >> harris: but to sexualize that as if jesus were feeling pleasure when they were killing him. i mean commit is a warped
9:35 am
sense -- i don't even have a word for it. that is why it offends you. the parties sexualizing mary and everybody else. why do we need to do that? who else there is dying to buy a product based on that? will you ever be able to satiate that? >> kayleigh: i have to say as many of the gay people community and this is common sense thing. >> harold: i you agree with everything said. i thought ainsley said it best at the outset, why honor the group? i know that people are free to do whatever they choose and love whoever they choose. everybody agrees with that. but what i don't understand is why the dodgers and the california state senate -- i've yet to hear anyone give an argument or make a case why they should be honored? >> kayleigh: they should not be honored by honored twice. that is where we are in society. more "outnumbered" next.

many parents are well aware of their child's participation in them. some hosting and their garages or basements. kayleigh, this is patently unacceptable and appalling that this is happening right now. >> kayleigh: it is disgusting and i couldn't help but think the context of yesterday with three marines and children. we talked about the broader problems with youth in america. we are having xo's financial crisis at the heart of america. there is an epidemic when kids are committing suicide, violence. when they have fight clubs and it comes back to the parent. not so much congress can do on this but parents can. instead, parents need to take kids to youth group and church. i don't know who these parents are. i hope it is not true because this is the problem in society right now. >> emily: 11-14, ainsley. at the parents knew about it and have it in their home, that is child abuse. that is horrific to think about teenagers, young children beating each other for support.

>> ainsley: many parents were allowing this and many parents knew about this. a parent's job is to protect peer that is our job. our kids look to us to protect weather walking across the street or making sure no one is beating them up in their garage. i grew up in the south and there was a lot of fighting. the rule for my brother's never throw the first punch but always defend yourself. that is the mentality where i grew up here there was a lot of guys that thought in my high school. there were a few girls who thought they were not polished, women did that appear they had a reputation but we were scared to death of them. they ruined lives and they threaten my friends and they threaten me one time. it can ruin your life. i cried and cried. i remember that girl's name and i have forgiven her and i don't know what she's doing now. there are a lot of fights going on and what we are dealing with the social media. we have covered all of these reports were these girls and posting videos of punching other girls or gaining up on them.

we interviewed girls on "fox & friends" and some girl committed suicide. there was a high school in new jersey posting all of these things and they don't make the school wouldn't do anything about it. one of the gross committed suicide. hats off to the principal sending a letter to the parents to make sure this is stopped. >> harris: we are normalizing abuse. i don't like the change that we are seeing in society. this is not a freedom of choice, you know, a child labor issue although it could be if the kids are fighting for cash. i'm curious to know if this gets into sort of trafficking laws. if children were brought in from out of state for some of these fights. i think the state needs to be investigated and see which adults are allowing what. are these homes becoming a ground for children taken to places against their will? if you think it is bad now, teacher child to fight it kid

three years older and what will the child to at school with a young once they are in class with? bowling is already a problem and social media has exacerbated it. do we want more violence and vision lives? dig deep and find out who was allowing this. >> emily: to their point, bowling is incredibly harmful and that is an epidemic. this is gladiator. this is a formalized structure that is horrifying because some kid thought it up after they saw that movie 20 years after it came out. the sanctioning of parents, incredibly frightening. >> harold: the legal construct of what can happen, this is child abuse and child welfare laws in states and municipalities would apply here 11-14-year-old if the story is right. again, we have seen a rise in the number of things, social media responding and a whole range of things. but what i think it's most struggling and i will touch upon is parents not only sanctioned but helping to organize the work but based on the story.
