not determine why joe biden gets off for a crime that he definitely committed according to the department of justice's own investigation. >> harris: i will tell you where i thought you were going with that and that is simply that you were -- merrick garland said there's no one of us justice department who makes their own decisions about a case and that's where i thought you were going, because robert hur took all of the notes from that case and all of the interviews and definitely made a decision about that case. so he does have independently acting people underneath him. that's where i thought you were going, those are two points. >> i think there is no chance, harris there was going to be any charges brought against by then, but there were charges brought against trump, and that's where people say we don't have a fair and impartial justice system despite what merrick garland says. >> harris: despite the politics it is never, never good for people to go to work and feel under threat. it could not happen with the u.s. supreme court with brett kavanaugh and it can't happen here. good to see you.
9:01 am
thank you. "outnumbered" starts right now. all right, moments ago we were watching live, a defiant attorney general merrick garland defending his department of justice denouncing claims that the law enforcement branch has become a political weapon. a little bit of that and then we will talk about more here on "outnumbered." >> this provision of the principles ends with an admonition "federal prosecutors and agents may never make a decision regarding an investigation or prosecution for the purpose of affecting any election or the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party" in short, we must treat like cases alike. there is not one rule for friends and another for photos. one rule for the powerful and
9:02 am
another for the powerless. one rule for the rich and another for the poor, one rule for democrats and another for republicans, or different roles depending on one's race or ethnicity. to the contrary, we have only one rule, we follow the facts and apply the law in a way that respects the constitution and protects civil liberties. >> harris: this is to is "outnumbered" i'm harris faulkner here with my cohost kayleigh mcenany and emily compagno, also joining us today fox news contributor and president of american spirit enterprises tammy bruce and host of "making money" on fox business charles payne. let's jump in, emily, first of all set the stage legally for what merrick garland is doing. >> emily: what he has stated sounds fantastic on paper. indeed there should be equal application of the law and there should be equal execution of it towards defendants, but we have not seen that in practicum.
9:03 am
so i think coming from this right now he is setting the stage and putting everyone on notice, but i wish that the statement had been sent to a lot of djs in the past, most specifically alvin bragg, i wish that this actual application of equity had been applied during the last four years. i was also during covid when the doj was actually wielded this as a weapon against regulatory infractions. so to be honest, i don't want to sound too bitter, but i find it rich. albeit truthful. i just wish it was indeed, carry on. >> harris: you are one of the most optimistic, we are just spending the facts. and get us through the politics of what he said. >> tammy: i think americans look at that just like many of us have which is kind of perplexed and a little bit stunned, because yes, we know what's on paper and that's also the problem. is that we have seen that, the americans have love this country, because that is the standard for our legal system, the blind justice.
9:04 am
of course that's what we expected. and yet, certainly at the federal level now we have seen for years a targeting of a political opponent good at least it appears to be so. even a mention of that would have been very nice is why americans feel this way would be i think he, recognizing it or acknowledging it, but that's not it. now i like that boss is going to stand there and defend his people. that's part of its job pope. but this is about the government and the legitimacy of our government and whether or not people listen to him are people going to believe him. so if you can't move through something with believably, you are kind of throwing gas onto the fire. it's almost like poking us all in the eye when we think about of course and the timing, the election. and that donald trump is still going to be dealing with certain things brought at the federal level, the supreme court decisions where charges had to
9:05 am
be dropped from january 6, people in jail. >> harris: you think this is a preamble to something that could happen then they have laid the groundwork to we are fair for everybody. >> tammy: yes, but the problem is clearly they are not to. i think that on its face they haven't been, and it's not -- garland is not micromanaging everything, but we all do you know because it has gone on for a long time. the fbi's involvement with the russia hoax did not help. set a tone, and so i think that he is just trying to robber all his troops but i don't think he will be the attorney general for a long. >> harris: he may not be micromanaging, but he said in today's comments that decisions don't get made without him. so, i mean, i don't know. >> tammy: it will be interesting to see how that plays out. >> harris: i want to come to something different on you, kayleigh, because i ended live with a very important fact i thought and that is the lives of these people impacted. and we don't want anybody to be
9:06 am
going to work and feeling under threat. here's what he said. over the three and a half years there's been an attack on career lawyers, agents and other personnel far beyond public scrutiny t, and legitimate oversight of our work. he went to say that actual threats of violence have come against them. my initial question was, and i know that he mentioned an employee named tommy, but if there are so many, are there reports that we should be able to match up what he is saying alleging with what has been going on? and that's important if in this moment you are telling the american people that the doj is under threat and has been for three and half years. >> kayleigh: no one wants any doj to be threatened, many do great and noble work. but this was clearly aimed at donald trump. this was clearly and as a scare tactic of what a future trump administration would look like. merrick garland, i want to remind you we have a four year experiment with what the trump doj would look like, he did not
9:07 am
prosecute those opponents, people have said prosecute hillary clinton, i said that would not be good for the country. he did not go after political opponents. by contrast, what are we seen from the doj and fbi and thus be seven years? we saw the radical catholic memo about putting plants and catholic churches. that was withdrawn. he said i was aghast when i saw it. then the memo about parents being analogized to domestic terrorists, that was withdrawn. then the clearest example of two-tier justice and that is what the pro-life community. they've been targeted, the father of seven and a loving wonderful man who prays, person of faith, prosecuted at gunpoint, fbi shows up at his door and he is acquitted by a jury of his peers. there is a woman in prison right now, she is sick and a pro-life activist, they think she might die in prison. and listen to this, when mike lee asked why are you disproportionately targeting the pro-life community and brought up data, this is what
9:08 am
merrick garland said, the pro-life activists commit crimes during daylight, which is a horrid thing to do are doing it at night and it's dark. news flash, you can catch people in the dark, merrick garland. where there is a will, there is a way. that's 2-tear justice. >> harris: charles payne. >> charles: i think there's a three-pronged thing that has been hit on here. preparing for a potential trump presidency and saying, these are the things that will escalate obviously has given us a timeline that coincides only -- these things have only happen in the last three and a half years. we don't want anyone harmed or threatened. but i think that merrick garland also has to be thinking about how history is going to look at him and this legacy. because to your point, tammy, the foundation of our country is rule of law and that's one of the key foundations. he gaslighted america just now. most of that was another round of gaslighting and every time we hear from someone on the
9:09 am
democratic party it's gaslighting us whether it's telling us how great the economy is or what their ideas are and policy. we just know they are not being truthful. i would love to see him say the supreme court made and a very important ruling recently and decision and we had something of an epiphany. welfare should never exist in our country, we should stop doing it, it's articulate as creative as he can do it even if he does not want to admit that they are doing it, but say it will never happen again. because that is the stain on his record that will go down in history. historians will look at this 100 years from now and say this is where america almost went off its course. >> harris: at everybody. this is biden and harrises doj, she gives her resume many, many times. and you know, as someone who has been there for the adjudication of cases and important ones as an aging of the state, this is
9:10 am
on their watch. this is part of their legacy as well. >> tammy: one thing, let's not forget his past in his own political animus, perhaps. he expected to be on the supreme court. and it was the republicans, mitch mcconnell, all of her complaints about mitch mcconnell who stop that, imagine this person, there is a reason why he is not on the supreme court, because he is a part of sin and now that's what we are hearing. all of this, biden/harris administration has been about revenge including merit merrick garland. >> harris: i will go to emily, when you talk about fairness of cases, so on and so forth, i brought up brett kavanaugh and the cases against them and the doj stepped in and investigated the case still in process with the suspect that has been delayed a few times. and our protective forces and government did protect him through a marshall's department. agency, i get that. my question is when the president then levies something political like paying off school
9:11 am
loans and ignores the u.s. supreme court, is it incumbent upon the head of the doj to give them a little jingle and say, you know, this is how the law works? speak to would think so, because the president is susceptible to influence, the ratio of his stubbornness has started to eclipse frankly his ability to entertain and acquiesce to recommendations. we saw the most egregious example would be afghanistan. i do feel that somehow there is an absolute dearth of accountability and responsibility occurring at the top most levels. and i will say this, for some reason especially on the left there is a subscription to authority as being total and finite and there is absolutely infallible, and the reality is the history books shows quite well that there is remedy that occurs later, and people say just because this law was a law at the time does not make it right just because this prosecution have been on the books at the time does not make it right, and unfortunately we are seeing it in real time and clambering out to that it is not right for some reason those in
9:12 am
charge however fail to see it and continue to do it. >> harris: you brought up covid, perfect example with the lockdowns in the cities. and looking back we know that some of them may have caused more covid to spread as people came out of their homes more susceptible to catching up. white house press secretary karine jean-pierre will likely face questions about merrick garland's remarks at the white house press briefing later this afternoon. we have a course on fox will monitor that. plus the media, pendants and analysts and experts were quick to crown vice president kamala harris the winner of the presidential debate, but you know who decides it? voters do. new reporting reveals average americans have serious reservations about her policies. where your retirement money and investment portfolio could go up with the stock market lock in your gains? and when the market goes down, you don't lose anything. forward with your money. never backwards would have that investment

>> kayleigh: liberal media pendants quickly claim that vice president kamala harris won tuesday's debate. but it seemed undecided voters are not so sure. "the new york times" reporting this. voters said the vice president talked about a sweeping vision to fix the country's most stubborn problems but they wanted the fine print. and it was not just "the new york times" that found that the debates was not a slam-dunk for harris. reuters interviewed ten people who were still unsure how they were going to vote in the november 5th election before they watch the debate. six, that's about 60% said afterwards that they would now neither vote for donald trump or were leaning towards backing him. three said they would now back harris and one was still unsure how he would vote. fox news digital also spoke to voters to get their reaction. >> i'm kind of torn between them both.
9:18 am
>> i love trump, i'm going to vote for him, it did not sway me. >> i thought it was a good debate. i'm glad we had the opportunity to see the two go head-to-head. >> there were questions unanswered. >> folks got the policies that are solid and there is a lot of flash and -, may be on. >> kamala was really debating trump, and she spend the majority of the time doing that, not covering some of the issues. she kept stating that she was here for the people, but i didn't necessarily feel that's. >> i like both of them, i like trump's policy is because everything was a lot lower when he was president for the first time. i thought that if he acted more presidential, he would get his message over a lot better. >> another debate of looking at the people. >> kayleigh: this is
9:19 am
interesting, 60% of undecided voters going for trump. tammy, i want to bring another voice of the voter and "the new york times," kino miller is a 34-year-old black woman buried at the end of "the new york times" piece unsurprisingly so come on tuesday she felt unexpectedly nudge towards trump, the pitch was a little bit more convincing, i guess i am leaning more on his facts then her vision. what a line. miss miller said while her heart pulls for her harrises potentially history making candidacy, she finds herself thinking fondly of her old life when trump was in office, not going to lie, i was living way better. i've never been so down as in the past four years. it has been so hard for me. i think that a lot of people saw what she saw. >> tammy: and certainly fox news' tracking with the corridor, we saw that independents are trekking with the g.o.p. on all of the issues versus the democrats when they were liking what trump was saying, and for a lot of the focus groups what we heard was
9:20 am
especially women, wanting and expecting to hear the details from kamala harris. we have seen that, the americans are saying we don't know what's going on. one focus group woman said i was kind of angry, it's like what is an opportunity economy, what is that? but they still don't know, because she did not explain it. and i think that that is what them reminds them, and that first question. maybe they thought it was a good idea to get it out of the way at the beginning of the debate, but it set the tone of the mind set when they said, what have you done to make lives better in the last four years of americans, and she went off into this package statement that did not touch that question. and i thought oh, that's where it's going to go and then there was no follow-up noting that. but i do think especially with cbs did another focus i think it was major garrett who spoke at 20 undecided's her independence and he said to his panel that none of them -- they were all for trump, 100%
9:21 am
and there was a gasp on the panel, but see, platitudes don't put gas in your car. platitudes don't put food on the plate. platitudes don't make you safe in your neighborhood. talking about economies and opportunities and smirking and being the mean girl does not help our lives. >> kayleigh: that's right, and harris, there is this really huge chasm and i saw during my time at cnn in 2016 as a footnote, donald trump went on to win that election between the pond entry in the iv towers and what people say in the heartland. we sought on a panel with independents and republicans aligned. >> harris: part of the reason why you see that with independents is they are looking for specificity. and if all you wanted to see was somebody go after donald trump. if that was your goal, then you loved it. it was just the right thing and it was clear that that was her goal with her preparation because she kept doing it with trump. he took the bait. next time he cannot take the bait. it's still going to come, because she think the works for her.
9:22 am
the problem with that is a makes it all about her. and what she rehearsed, and what she wants to say about donald trump and to look like the hero prosecutor who can go out. you know who adults not pay attention to? the voters. and that's what you saw with independents with the polling expert and analysis and all of that expertise and analysis, and also heard it from our voters voices. and 2-2-2 sometimes the groups are bigger. but the percentages have worked out. so it's equal, that's our goal on the reason why is this. those independents are more powerful to listen to because they are seated among everybody else and sometimes we can get a little surveyed. the independents decided they were more like the republicans on the panel, just like what she had showed us in her research and on those dials, those real-life time dials during the debate. >> kayleigh: so jason henderson, sorry you were buried at the bottom of "the new york times" was going to sit this election out and on
9:23 am
the issue of donald trump temperament saying he was so angry, et cetera, et cetera, this is what jason had to say coming away from the debate to leaning tenuously towards the republican nominee. mr. henderson who voted for barack obama in number donald trump allowed that mr. trump came off as crazy but he was no different from his appearances at rallies and interviews and as he watched post debate commentary on cable news, mr. henderson said he bristled at the opponents who widely panned his performance had they watch the same debate, he wondered? >> in a word, donald trump keeps it real. i think that resonates with people. i do not see the experts on every network toggling and it's the same old dudes who go by the old playbook, it's a different playbook. it's not about who can memorize this and to the guy got moments, they all love the passion. people love the passion because this right now is a country at the crossroads. people can really see and sense that something is obviously wrong and if you were to ask the
9:24 am
average person, they are not going to give you the my best harvard answer and that's not central casting. it really isn't. and this is how donald trump has turned this whole thing upside down since he has entered the political arena and still the experts in the establishment don't get it. if they are judging it, ignore them, because the people, the people out there resonate with that passion even when it seems harsh to the experts. >> kayleigh: charles, that is such a good point. they saw someone who was a fighter. i don't think you can deny that he fought on the stage. someone who is going to fight vladimir putin and fight for my grocery prices, emily. >> kayleigh: well said, the american people are sick of glad gating in the middle of the arena where the odds are stacked against them and someone got in the rib cage just before, they don't want to see a public execution and the flogging, they want to see policy and so the sheen and the polished divinity or as we talk about before that
9:25 am
is the first state. and both of those individuals have not a vision at stake, they have experience and an actual long-lived incumbency, trying to distance herself it was indeed the harris/biden administration as she made sure we knew for the last four years. so as americans were watching, they knew well what would happen under each as commander in chief and yes, it looked a heck of a lot better under donald trump. vote policy, not personality. >> kayleigh: would've been nice if the abc presidential debate would have given us more of that. more appropriately at the dnc debate. more "outnumbered" next. ♪ ♪

that they will be thinking about before they cast their ballot. >> if she says she's going to do this and that in all of these wonderful things, why hasn't she done it? she's been there for three and a half years, they have a three and half years to fix the border, three and a half years to create jobs and all of the things that we talked about. why hasn't she done it? she should leave right now, go down to that beautiful white house, go to the capital, get everyone together and do the things you want to do, but you have not done it and you won't do it, because you believe in things that american people don't believe in, like we are not going to frack or add fossil fuel, things that make the country strong where there you like it or not. and normal energy plants, we are not ready for it. you can't sacrifice our country
9:31 am
for the sake a bad vision. but i just ask one simple question, why didn't she do it? >> emily: that's what is known as nailing the dismount. >> charles: because vice president harris with the help of the media of course and everyone else, the image making folks out there to a sort of act like she was not in the white house. i feel like the democrats say she is running against two democratic legacy is here, the current one and the one in the past, the one that is starting the ku klux klan and the one that was against the population because they say we are not going back to the past, i hope we don't, especially when democrats had the upper hand, but how she tries to separate herself from what she could be doing right now, this administration cut holes in the border wall, they weren't building border wall, they cut holes in it. everybody knows what they did and we know what she believes in anything that that's the most scary part. i was so happy you former
9:32 am
president trump brought up germany. i want to do a special on that's probably in the next week or so. i don't think the american public understands that the road we are on has already been paved. germany had a historic election and from the right from the first time since 1945 as they emerge from nazi germany and needed to rechange because he went down the wrong path, we don't need to go down there, because the greatest industrial nation in europe, they destroyed it. >> emily: talk to me about the impact of these numbers, 17 million likes on the platform that the democratic campaign for kamala harris has been trying to widely utilize and harness is it simply that the facts speak for itself and the question can be heard around the world? >> kayleigh: and went viral because donald trump hit a key truth. and the truth is this, kamala harris is the establishment and the ultimate d.c. insider, kamala harris is the swarm, the polling is extraordinarily clear that more
9:33 am
than 60% once a major change from joe biden, only a quarter think kamala harris respects that. only a majority think that donald trump is a change. so if we look back and kamala harris loses this election, i think we will look at her failure to represent herself as a change agent. should have stood on the stage and said here are my policies and here is what is holding me back, and here are the things i disagreed with in the situation room, the oval office, and policy meetings, she cannot say that because she has not disagreed with him to your point she has emphasized it's the biden/harris administration, she cannot untether herself and when make the election if she has not. >> emily: and it was the debate went over the media, they were expecting and sailing along crowing about it, but the reality of her americans and global viewers watching this they saw through that polished veneer as to, then why haven't you done it? >> harris: i hope i have
9:34 am
charles payne's optimism about what the american people know, i argue that they don't have enough in what the reality is our, because they have their own reality, but when it comes to being able to use that and discern what they are telling them it's not exactly transparent or in some cases true, they are watching networks that would not quantify or qualify any part of what they would suspect about her. we have some breaking news and we will come back to the topic. right now the new york city mayor eric adams is speaking. we just learned that the new york pd commissioner edward kaven is stepping down. there's been a lot of scandal and investigation. we have to watch this. >> 13 of the 14 months he served as commissioner. in his time as part of the nypd administration, we remove more than 18,000 illegal guns off of our streets. at the lowest number of robberies in recorded history in the month of october, and our
9:35 am
subway system and throughout the entire last few months. and just had the lowest number of shootings above ground ever in the history of recorded history of the city in august. to ensure crime keeps going down in our city today, i am taking immediate action in appointing tom donlon's as interim police commissioner. tom is an experienced law enforcement law enforcement professional who has worked at the local, state, federal, and international levels. he served as new york's director of the office of homeland security. he ran the fbi's national threat center and the fbi nypd joined terrorist task force. and worked as the co. case agent investigating the 1993 twin towers bombing. as well as the attacks on the
9:36 am
u.s. embassies in africa and the uss call in the men by al qaeda. he is also a bronx native. tom joins a team at one police plaza that is relentlessly dedicated to public safety and protecting new yorkers. that is why new york is the safest big city in the world, and why it will continue to be. i think incoming commissioner dolan -- donlon for stepping in during this critical moment, as always the men and women of the nypd have my gratitude for their dedication and professionalism. i thank them for their commands and their decision-making as we move forward and continue service that they continue to deliver to all new yorkers. thank you, god bless our great city on the bright future ahead. thank you.
9:37 am
>> harris: so the mayor of the city who knew that his people were under investigation, they have taken cell phones, they have taken other types of devices and property from people who work for him, not the least of whom is his police commissioner. he gave a simple line off the top and ran the man's resume and said who he was replacing him with, tom donlon, and that will be his replacement. you know, charles, it's been a long time since we have seen the pressure on a city leader, because adams was also -- we had read that there were cell phones involved in this and his aides were look at at, we don't know the scope of this yet, but the police commissioner is gone and not a whole lot of anything else. something went wrong. >> something went terribly wrong, because mayor adams read off a list of amazing
9:38 am
accomplishments and all of a sudden then so amazing we have to get rid of the guy who did it. he is at this critical moment, crime is now dramatically and now we will make a change at the top. i googled some of the stuff, right, new york mayor is msnbc, new york mayor adams with a federal look at it yesterday, on the top aides as legal problems mount. i thought we were going to see something about what we know. this is an elephant in the room. there's a few elephants in the room. new yorkers deserve a lot more, what is happening? may be legally he can't go too far, but that was a farce. >> harris: tammy bruce really quickly, your acumen as a former democrat, you know the playbook very well in the city. what is it in this instance? >> tammy: some people pointed to the fact that brinkley adams was not cooperating very much with the federal government on some of the issues regarding the
9:39 am
migrants. he was very vocal, you might recall early on and i am from los angeles originally, for a lot of shenanigans -- corruption is a better word and people expecting a lot from adams because of the former police officer, but the people of new york have been disappointed and perhaps the machine itself is too infected at this point. >> harris: i see over there, studying up, buttercup, tell me what you are finding. >> i was reading the letter from former commissioner to the rest of the nypd department and no tier, the hook is that he is presiding based on what he wants to call a distraction, so we list the accomplishments of nypd, but he is saying i have to let you do your job without me at the top so he says i am unwilling to let my attention be anything other than our important work, the news around
9:40 am
the recent development has created a distraction for our department, and that is indeed a large thing he is fielding right now as some considerable allegations and situation with him and his brother. so this is essentially freeing the department and is taking away the pigpen towards nato. >> harris: my immediate question is how high up the chain does this go? does it reach the doj hearing from the attorney general on fairness and so on and so forth. you can't hide too many things together because we simply don't have all the facts, but we will continue to cover what is happening. >> kayleigh: onto this, something you have to see with your own eyes to believe it. president joe biden wearing a donald trump hat. we have the video to prove it. >> presidential hat, presidential seal on it. >> you want to autograph it? >> sure i will autograph it.
9:41 am
i don't remember my name. i'm too old. >> yeah, i know, man, i am an old guy. i know you want to know about that. about being old. >> oh, i know. >> there you go, man. i need that hat. >> you want my autograph? >> hell no. >> you can have my name. >> i'm not going that far. >> there you go.

deputy press secretary staying at the fire station, potus spoke about the country's bipartisan unity after 9/11 and said we needed to get back to that. as a gesture, he gave a hat to a trump supporter that said in the same spirit, potus should put on his trump had to, briefly wore it. tammy, i don't know if there is something more going on. perhaps it's conspiratorial, but he was just booted from the democratic party, i don't think two months ago he would've put on a maga hat. and he gave an interview where he clearly was not happy. this was deafly not his decision to leave the race. and at the same time, this is the day after the debate when everything they are still trying to move that's kamala harris messaging and narrative, this blew that out of the water, this changed everything. and i think that he knew what he was doing. i mean he obviously has some cognitive issues, but he knew what he was doing. he is not a dumb man. he's been doing this for 50
9:43 am
years and after the debate he puts on a trump hat, i think that says something. >> kayleigh: there's a little bit more to the story, it said the daughter of the man who swapped hats with the president said biden kept the trump hat after the interaction that her father ended up getting another cap from the trump campaign, so we kept the hat? does he have it by his bedside in the white house? >> emily: i don't know, it's so weird to me, you guys, but what struck me about it was now the playfulness or him putting it on, it's -- and i say this with respect, but it reminded me of an interaction you might see had an old folks home come at a nursing home, at a ball game. it did not strike me as a commander in chief on september 11th. so for me i was like, what is this, and i continue to be disappointed and it continues to underscore, guys, that when he stepped aside from the campaign and the candidacy, he took it as

that i got it. maga is a clear and present danger, but i will wear his hat. >> charles: i really wish, i thought it was a beautiful moment. i love the interaction. i just think that's what you get when you -- when real people meet each other, and he took it too far. and he could do that. >> harris: i am with you, emily, on the timing of things, but life is always about that. if he had tried to pitch to the point of bringing people together, he might've done better against donald trump. that's notwithstanding all of its cognitive issues, so on and so forth. but it is interesting, his timing again, not just that it was 9/11, but it was the day after the debate that so many people have given kamala harris on the left the credit of winning. there is a lot more going on. i would imagine, but we are not inside the palace to see the
