♪ ♪ >> kayleigh: crisis after

crisis is piling up on the biden-harris administration, just over a month before election day. the strike freezing ports across the east and gulf coast, affecting about 40% of container goods. it's now on its third day. the longer this goes on, the more it threatens empty shelves, higher prices, your pockets. in communities across the south, they are still struggling to pick up the pieces a week after being decimated by hurricane helene. the catastrophic storm has now claimed the lives of over 200 people across six states, and homeland security is warning that fema does not have the funds to make it through hurricane season. and then you have the middle east, which stands on the brink of an all-out war. president biden being accused of deterring our ally, israel, in the wake of iran's largest missile attack ever in their history. hello, everyone. this is "outnumbered." i'm kayleigh mcenany here with my cohost, harris faulkner and emily compagno.

also joining us, "fox news sunday" anchor and chief legal correspondent, shannon bream, and veterans on-duty chairman and former army intelligence captain jeremy hunt. it is indeed, this noon hour on a thursday, crisis after crisis after crisis. emily, it could be a per file name to the biden-harris chaos administration. there is no leadership, no energy, they doesn't seem to be any direction, and we have a president, president biden, who is a lame duck before lame duck season. >> emily: i'd like to point out the pattern, unfortunately, of this administration, waiting. they are tepid, not enough, and overgeneralized. i feel partly disheartened at the fact that these are people who ran on -- remember, their platform was not only unity but restoring humanity to the administration and to america. you can feel that dearth, none more pronounced than in these devastating times when, right after helene hit, where was the

president? we have known for now three and half years the president's position on israel, absolutely inadequate. but he and kamala harris had run on this platform. the reality is it caved wide open and showed us it was nothing of substance whatsoever. this time we need leadership and the optics of leadership in the administration. where is that? where is the time for all of that, and the detail? so unfortunately i have no faith in this commander-in-chief and no faith in the person trying to be commander in chief. we saw that in the afghanistan pull-out, most pronounced, and now we see it when absolutely everything is. >> kayleigh: shannon, emily mentions optics there. that is so important because it was when we week ago today where images were flooding in of flooded homes, neighbors. it took several days to really see any sort of leadership. we have some pictures. here is president biden, and we will pull the set. this was saturday,

september 28th. you see him in delaware. then we will flip over to kamala. sunday. again, the hurricane happened thursday. she's on air force to looking disengaged. these people seem to be disengaged during a time of crisis for a region of the country. >> shannon: a lot of political analysts would say these are an opportunity. they can be a political opportunity. we have to recognize people are suffering. all the tragedies we are covering are costing lives, devastating people. it's like a real-life job addition. we are watching it in real time. you control it in a couple of ways. do you have compassion? d look like you care about what's going on? weathered support strike, helene, the middle east. also policy, though. it's a chance for you to talk about your policy and illustrate how you handle these things. but it raises a lot of questions on how we are spending their money. dhs said they'd be out of money. secretary buttigieg's also saying the transportation department will run out of money. it raises questions of how we have been spending her money and

on whom we have been spending her money. oour americans a priority? we are not even enforcing sanctions on iran, we are getting waivers. these policy questions come up as you're trying to handle this both as a candidate and somebody who is supposed to be handling the country, as well. >> kayleigh: one of the oddities of this is we have seen people are not president taking the lead. president trump working with elon musk to put up star link. and ron desantis in florida. he's taking action at the ports in florida. he is sending the national guard to the ports. watch. >> at my direction, the florida national guard and florida state guard will be deployed to critical ports affected to maintain order, and if possible, resume operations, which would otherwise be shut down during this interruption. i'm also directing the florida department of transportation to temporarily waive the collection of tolls and other fees for

commercial vehicles using public highways in florida, and waiving the size and weight restrictions normally governing vehicle transportation for the duration of this emergency. this will help expedite the movement of goods that have been impacted from seaports to intermodal logistics centers, distribution centers, and delivery points. >> harris: you know what i think, he was talking about helene just moments ago, as well, before that. you are seeing republicans do something we normally see democrats do. they are jumping in. and yes, they are jumping into their own states and jurisdictions, but this helps trump. it does because it is a unified idea and vision of real unity and leadership during a crisis. i think you had the quote of the day. you said that biden and harris are knowing for waiting to wade in. that doesn't mean they jump in with the best decision, they take the temperature of the

water and they want to do, "we don't know if this is okay politically or best for the american people, but we will do that one thing." the border, we didn't see her. she shows up 40 days or so before an election. ukraine, could've helped him in the beginning. shannon, we were on the couch talking about that. if we're going to help them and spend money, let's help them. israel. he could have been part of that deal very, very early on to help shore up going to get those hostages. biden and harris could have, both of them, so you wouldn't have the cataclysmic outcome of israel at war on two fronts. then you got the energy crisis. do you remember when he was tapping those fuel lines like they were going out of style? the prices had reached a crisis point. now we've got the port strike. the taft-hartley act, and forced a cooling-off period for for 80 days. kamala, harris, and joe biden, wait to wade in. quote of the day. >> kayleigh: jeremy, i want to

put up what i think is a case study for the failures of the biden-harris administration. it's crazy when you take a crisis and tap a resource and create another crisis. that is exactly what happened with fema. hurricane season doesn't end until almost december. they took $650 million for sheltering illegal immigrants one year, $363 million another year. that adds up to almost a billion, laundered out of fema to solve an immigrant crisis, creating another crisis for u.s. citizens. >> jeremy: this was foreseeable. and he has to come from somewhere, so if we are spending all these funds and not saving up for a time of crisis, now we are in this problem. i do want to go back something you said, shannon. this is an opportunity. vice president harris spending millions upon $90 on ads trying to project herself as a strong leader, a tough prosecutor. a lot of this is untrue, but she says all of this in these ads, especially in my home state of

georgia. but yet this is an actual opportunity to demonstrate leadership. you see that your boss doesn't know what's going on, he's not going to step up. he's at his beach house. he says his leadership has been on the phone for a couple of hours in the middle of a major hurricane, and use your moment to step up and say, look, i'm willing to take charge, i'm going to do it with compassion, and get results. but we don't see that. instead, she probably wants to stay away from it a little bit because she doesn't want to get into the mess of it. but even when i was at west point, as a young cadet, the very basic leadership skills, it's that presence. leadership is about presence. you've got to show up and you don't see that from this administration. >> kayleigh: you can step up or go to rehoboth beach, and we know it when our presidents often chooses. special counsel jack smith's filing in his election case against former president trump, just a little over a month left in the 2024 race.

>> harris: 33 days until election day. although, almost all the country has some form of early voting that's going on right now, some millions of americans are already in that process. and yet this happens. right before an election. the judge and former president trump's election interference case has unsealed a key filing from special counsel jack smith. that filing lays out smith's case more detail than the previous indictment and alleges evidence he will use in an eventual trial against trump, which by the way he can't do because of an unwritten agreement 60 days out from an election. you wouldn't take somebody running and put them on trial. that apparently you can dump all sorts of information out there that trump no doubt is going to have to fight. so it's going to feel like a

trial, including many private conversations between donald trump and his former aides. trump says the entire situation is just another "hit job" from the department of justice. david spunt is in washington with the news. david? >> hi, harris. 165-page filing paints a picture of a president desperate to hold onto power, the massive court filing about a month before the election does raise serious questions for jack smith. the latest effort to convince a judge that donald trump, the former president, should go to trial on charges for trying to overturn the 2020 election. earlier this year smith took several blows, harris, to this high-profile case. the supreme court ruled over the summer that presidents are largely immune from prosecution for official acts. smith and his team retooled and reworked the original indictment, now saying trump as a private citizen tried to overturn the election. smith uses the word "private"

many times in his filing. although the defendant was the incumbent president during the charge conspiracies, his scheme was fundamentally private one. a lot of focus also on former vice president mike pence pay the filing focuses on the pressure campaign that pence faced and not to certify the election results on january 6th, 2021. on page 142 of the court filing, this scene is described. "upon receiving a phone call alerting him that pence had been taken to a secure location, person 15, someone unnamed, rushed into the dining room to inform then-president trump in hopes that the defendant would take action to ensure pence safety. instead, after person 15 delivered the news, the defendant looked at him and said only, so let?" overall, smith says trump told lie after lie and that the defendant use these lies to inflame and anger the crowd into

marching for the certification of the proceeding. trump's spokesman told fox news yesterday, "this entire case is a partisan, unconstitutional witch hunt that should be dismissed entirely together with all of the remaining democrat hoaxes. harris? >> harris: thanks for teeing it up with all those details. shannon bream, please explain why jack smith got a second bite at the apple with the u.s. supreme court, because that is your expertise, without immunity filing, their decision, and how we got to this point realistically. because it feels personal. >> shannon: well, i would say this. i'm happy that what people are saying here, we were told, some in the media would say, when we got that immunity decision, it's a get out of jail free card for a president who claims this all happened when i was president. this proves that is not what the court did. there's got to be an analysis they gave, guidance, and that's what jack smith is doing. he's working through this process. we know there is not going to be

another trial before the election. this is the closest thing, as you mentioned, getting to that. as you know goes back to jud judge chutkan, and they tried to stop or releasing or unsealing all of this 165 pages. clearly the trump team lost. judge chutkan thought, let's get it out there. but they're working through that process of what were official acts, which will have immunity and which weren't. it's not a get out of jail free card, this is a process that was going to happen. the timing is tough for the trump campaign. i don't know if people who are supportive of president trump -- they're not going to be swayed by anything that hearing in this. i don't know who it does affect, but is awfully close and we already have 20 plus states voting. >> harris: it does give the liberal networks -- you can see this happening already last night -- an opportunity not to talk about all the disasters unfolding on this watch, the harris-walz campaign won't have to answer questions about it,

because lord knows that would be confusing. but it gives them a way to then hone in on the one thing they think is a unifier on the left, and that is hating trump. i'm curious to know, if people are really feeling bad right now, both economically and in other ways, those disasters are having a way between the port strike and effecting more and more people from both sides of the aisle. i don't know how many people are going to be paying attention to the table read that rachel maddow will be doing. [laughter] >> emily: that's right, i noticed immediately the headlines and the coverage on all those liberal networks yesterday. the coverage of the vice presidential debate and all the facts and statistics and policy set forth by j.d. vance, and all of that changed over this. it feels dirty. it feels really dirty. the fact that a factual proffer, by the way -- that was what was unsealed. when you dig into it, there plenty of pages where -- i am saying this simply as an american.

a quote of, "it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you still have to fight like heck." why is that considered evidence for something illegal? isn't that evidence is something enthusiastic? like, the amount of detail -- david spunt use the word "desperate." that was the quote from jack smith. it's jack smith portrayal as a protected private citizen, and that is what gets dumped on americans' lapsed during election season, the day after a disastrous debate for the democrat party, and we are supposed to think that is simply the wheels of justice turning? absolutely not. >> harris: i have to say, i lawyered up today. everyone here has a legal degree but me! [laughter] i will just keep asking the good questions. >> jeremy: are the most dangerous. >> shannon: you have your own firm. >> harris: some free advice here. jeremy, when you look at the timing of this and you really want to adjudicate election interference, don't you want to have to not commit it when you go after pressing it against it against appeals? live that's exactly right.

it looks a lot like election interference days before the election. it's ridiculous. even for someone like a special councilman, he has had years of practice in law. this is kind of basic stuff. even in law school you have legal ethics class. every law school has this. i don't have many things to say about yale law school, but we did have a mandatory ethics class, at least. you don't want the appearance of looking biased, especially in the political election. the department of justice, it says don't make a prosecutorial decision that will look like you're putting your thumb on the scale. >> harris: but he had already technically done that. >> jeremy: exactly right. why is he doing this? and so many on the left are hollering about our democracy and wondering why it has fallen on deaf ears. it's because they do stuff like this. no one actually believes them. >> harris: kayleigh? >> kayleigh: to your point, emily, spot on. 34 days before an election, just

before prime time news coverage, the day after a vp debate in which j.d. vance outperformed every expectations and did extraoandasked renee job. this is a 165-page factual proffer that is jack smith's version the case. we have innocent until proven guilty. we don't know what the other side's case is. their brief is due october 17th. we have one version of the case floating around during early voting for two weeks, and the judge here had full discretion. she didn't have to release this at all. she could have waited until after the election, but she dropped it now. it sure feels very political and will not move the needle. i don't think people printed out 165 pages, sat at the dinner table, and read something, by the way, with very few new details. they were looking at the hurricane and their pocketbooks. they are worried about the economy. that is what will frame the selection. >> harris: and looking at the list since september 11th of absentee or early voting in most of the united states. it's two pages before i get to october 9th.

by the end of this week, that is almost the entire country of those places who offer that. a lot of people have already decided this election and need now to figure out how they pay for christmas gifts and things that may not get there on time. what they're going to do for food that is spoiling and cargo containers right now. how expensive things are about to get all around. i mean, their eye is on the dollar. all right, coming up, a shocking new report from the dhs inspector general. that's right, homeland security took a look at itself through the ig, and it's not pretty. that report shows border patrol, i.c.e., and tsa did not assess the risks of letting noncitizens without either factual or any identification at all to board domestic flights. you know you can't do that and i can't do that, but apparently if you are not a citizen you can roll differently. stay close. ♪ ♪ ls. it's more than paint.

>> emily: homeland security's office of the inspector general is out with a stunning new report accusing customs and border protection, i.c.e., and the tsa of not fully assessing the national security risk of letting noncitizens without identification into the u.s., and allowing them to board domestic flights. griff jenkins is in washington with all the latest details. griff? >> hey, emily. for years i have witnessed migrants discarding their ids as they illegally cross our border. he got a venezuelan passport, colombian passport, chinese, there's hundreds of them perhaps now. we know because the redacted report shows cbp, i.c.e., and tsa did not fully assess the risk, if you will, including national security risk, associated with releasing noncitizens without their ids. very troubling. but then they are allowed also to travel on domestic flights. this is the key finding.

under the current processes, cbp and i.c.e. cannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country. additionally, tsa cannot insure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights. emily, the ig also says, because cbp and i.c.e. accept "self-reported biographical information" in the absence of ids, migrants are then able to obtain official immigration forms which they use to get on these flights and fly around the country. that is why it is more difficult for tsa to screen for individuals who pose a legitimate threat. the former border patrol union president, brandon judd, had this to say. >> because we can't properly vet these individuals, we have to go with what they are giving us. and that is why we saw the death in florida at the hands of somebody who claimed to be a minor but was actually an adult. this is a very dangerous situation, and the ig got it

absolutely correct. >> dhs is pushing back on the report, saying they cannot detain all individuals subject to detention because of a lack of resources. i.c.e. said they simply don't have enough beds. cbp say their detention facilities are for short-term detention only, and tsa says the report doesn't reflect their current policies. emily? >> emily: thank you so much. shannon, this report, "america said thank you, captain obvious." >> shannon: the everyday american home is outraged. there are so many competing headlines right now. this might get lost in the shuffle. but the fact that we had people connected to terror groups, terror watch groups, that are coming here, people can self identify. i don't have to accurately tell you what country and from. you solid griff said. they found people discarding and destroying the actual i.d. they can self-report. never mind the fact that the worst terrorist attack here involve people getting on airplanes and carrying out attacks with a very small number of people.

there are so many different ramifications. remember they started a pilot program to have dna testing at the border, and it was about making sure that kids weren't getting traffic and people weren't posing as families falsely. but the biden administration did not renew that program. that's one of the ways we could try to get a handle on the accurate identity of people who are here. this report should be shocking to everyone. >> emily: to shannon's point, the fear of offending under this administration has outweighed the protection of american citizens far and away. >> jeremy: that's exactly right. one thing i think about, what happens next? the reports come out, as you said, captain obvious. we have been paying attention to this. many americans are tuned into this. the polls shall a lot of americans care about this issue. and yet, was going to happen? i have yet to see anyone get fired. there needs to be ramifications. even in the army. if you demonstrate this level of gross incompetence, you will be relieved of duty. there could be uc mj action

against you. but yet we have this report come out and we've had other reports come out, congress has been investigating this, and yet so few ramifications, so the repercussions for people who still get to go to work the next day even though the american people aren't safe. >> emily: and we heard it, the resources have been totally depleted. the reality is every american has been affected by this negatively. that's the reality. and yet, where is it? >> harris: there's no positive to an open border. i think we are living through the proof of that. there is no positive to turning your back on holding people responsible, accountable, and truthful for who they are coming into the country. only we can do that for ourselves in terms of setting, because they're going to live. now what we have learned from that report is they are doing self reporting from these people who are willing to enter our country on the basis of a lie. they are coming in illegally, breaking the first law of sovereignty for a nation. and then they will probably say

whatever they need to say. and you know what, would you blame them and some of the places they are coming from? i get that. but the point is you have some self-reporting, which means all our systems of vetting have fallen down. even among the ones who are here legally, i don't know if we even know who many of them are now based on this report. so i understand the agents who are at these other agencies saying, hey, don't put the blame on us. then i put some responsibly on the fact that you could have spoken up, and i know we don't want to lose our jobs, especially in an economy where everything is so high-priced, but that integrity has to be there. you have to speak up. in the military, we know you have to speak up, otherwise we have to wait for the ig to tell us years later after a lot of damage has already been done. >> jeremy: you got to care about your country enough to speak up and make an effort. >> emily: harris hits the nail on the head. the damage has already been done. >> kayleigh: yes, no doubt about it. look, the biggest scandal of the biden-harris administration is the southern border, but to me it is also the biggest cover-up. just when we try to scratch the

surface, we learned that significant interest aliens come individuals with terror ties, a san diego border chief was told not to disclose those numbers, that they had increased precipitously. that was two weeks ago. now we learn via an ig that people are boarding planes without ids. the most important part of the report, though, when they said how many people are released on these planes without ids, they would not disclose the number. then there was a study conducted as to how the cbp one app factored into this. they would not disclose the results of that. there is so much we don't know. did migrants processed in parking garage is under the dead of night, lee from video cameras, the flights going to westchester airport, and the emergency intake facilities with migrant children on suicide watch lists? there's a huge cover. i don't know who gets behind it. this is your cover-up. >> harris: whistle-blowers, protect them. >> emily: think about the last week or two weeks. how many times have you shown your i.d.? exactly, a lot. in buildings, visiting friends, all the time.

and yet planes all of the sudden our free reign? it is frightening and it is the harris biden watch. coming up, the u.s. state department is now facilitating departures for americans in lebanon as a middle east braces for a wider war. stay with us. have you always had trouble losing weight and keeping it off? same. discover the power of wegovy®. ♪ ♪ with wegovy®, i lost 35 pounds. and some lost over 46 pounds. ♪ ♪ and i'm keeping the weight off. wegovy® helps you lose weight and keep it off. i'm reducing my risk. wegovy® is the only fda-approved weight-management medicine that's proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight. wegovy® shouldn't be used with semaglutide or glp-1 medicines. don't take wegovy® if you or your family had medullary thyroid cancer,

members have left the country on a flight that happened yesterday. state department spokesman said about 7,000 american citizens in lebanon have requested more information about leaving the country while there's a war going on. they are looking to get out as the conflict between israel and the hezbollah terrorists, perpetrating as a military for lebanon, is now escalating. trey yingst with the latest on the ground in haifa, israel. trey? >> harris, he said it exactly right. this is a war going on. it's not a limited raid in the south, not a composed campaign by either side. this is expanding rapidly, both from the air and on the ground prayed overnight, many israeli air strikes targeted the lebanese capital of beirut. we have seen rocket fire here from the northern city of haifa, and the work continues with more israeli soldiers going into southern lebanon. we were there the night the ground invasion began with a

special unit from the israeli commandos, and have this report. >> minutes after the orders are given, israeli soldiers load into waiting land rovers and drive toward lebanon. their mission, to reach a hezbollah position less than a mile from israel. once near the fence, they crossed quietly over the border. the pitch black night acts as their cover while the mission unfolds. a distant flare, the only source of light. the crunch of branches beneath their feet, the only noise. arriving at the hezbollah outpost, the first clear a maze of tunnels and rooms before we enter. right now israeli forces are conducting a ground operation into southern lebanon. we are with an elite commando unit embedded underground right now. to get here, we walked through mine fields and crossed uneven terrain, pocked with craters left behind from the israeli bombardment of southern lebanon.

>> the israelis have faced a lot of criticism for the air campaign against lebanon. we have seen the rocket fire toward northern israel targeting many different cities. what is being done to protect lebanese civilians amid this conflict? we know that hundreds have been killed as a result of the campaign so far. >> our war is not with the lebanese civilians. i war is with hezbollah. since the 7th of october they have been firing almost 10,000 rockets at israeli civilians. unlike them, we do not target civilians. we target terrorist infrastructures. >> as israel expands their operation into lebanon, an estimated 1 million lebanese civilians are displaced from their homes. and his israelis strike against has bled to gut so "the last thing i expect it is our building to be struck. it is all civilians inside." this man says at the funeral of his wife and daughter.

the israeli say that the air and ground campaign against hezbollah is necessary. they point to the fact that thousands of rockets have been fired by hezbollah into northern israel over the past year, displacing tens of thousands of israelis. harris? >> harris: trey him if you will allow me to once i can, today of course is the first full day of rosh hashanah, the jewish new year, so shana tova to all those around the world with the jewish faith. as the next moments come up, october 7th on monday, october 8th when hezbollah started firing basically inclination or support of hamas, and then yom kippur is coming up, as well, a high holy day. how does that impact from what you have seen what happens in that ground invasion? >> i can tell you this holiday season for the jewish people is very difficult, because the war is ongoing and it's all around us. you and i were live on air covering that terror attack early in the week. we saw the ballistic missile

fire from iran. even as we speak, they are israeli helicopters that are landing at a hospital just down the hill, and they are evacuating wounded soldiers from southern lebanon. so the war is very real for this population. it's a very small country, less than 10 million people. so as they mark the holiday season for the jewish people, they are watching closely what is going to happen. will the israelis be striking iran? will there be incoming rocket fire? will they have to spend the holidays and shelters? so it is a very different season for the israeli people this year, and they are together in many ways, but still divided and others about what to do next. not only for the war that is unraveling just 17 miles from here in southern lebanon, but also the ongoing conflict between israel and hamas inside gaza. >> harris: trey, thank you for taking my question on that. great reporting. jeremy, you know a different side of this, because you have served. when you look at this and you know what is ahead for israel and for us in that region, what are your thoughts?

>> jeremy: first off, we as the united states need to stand with israel. we've talked about it before. i just want to make it very clear. we hear from veterans all across the country who have served in the middle east and care about these issues, and they are saying, look, this isn't hard. why do we have a president who says we stand with israel and we aren't taking any options off the table? incipient president biden who says, no, israel shouldn't do this and that, it shouldn't attack nuclear sites. it is so frustrating for so many people who care about -- israel right now, they are fighting america's enemies, too. they are doing us all a favor. i think we are at a time now where the line is drawn in the sand. which side are you on? and i will say, and i think i speak for a lot of veterans, we stand with israel. and i hope our government will, too. >> harris: that's an interesting point, because the houthis and yemen are the ones who have hit us north of 200 times in the region. we have taken a lot of incoming around the region with a lot of enemies via iran, but the houthis where one of the first

places israel hit outside its own country. i said they ought to send a fruit basket from the united states, because they were hurting us and israel helped us out. >> jeremy: that's exactly right. >> harris: emily? >> emily: for anyone arguing to that point that you support in name only, americans need to understand that the stability in the middle east affects the entire globe, including everyone at home, and that stability in the middle east, what that means is the protection and recognition of the sovereign state of israel, and it also means the extermination, the extinction meant, of these terrorist groups. so i think there is sort of a rising wave here in the united states of those that for some reason support israel and yet don't want to to the tune of actually standing up and showing up as americans. but we are being shelled, to your point, under active fire. americans are still being held hostage, and also it is in every american's best interest for that stability in the middle east, economically and also just morally, for god sake. absolutely, we stand with

israel. >> harris: this is breaking right now. this comes from our fox news reporting that we have obtained the text message of a letter sent to secretary of state blinken by michigan governor gretchen whitmer. in it, whitmer says americans are seeking to flee lebanon and are being charged $8,000 per ticket by middle eastern airlines that are operating there. she is calling on blinken to set up charter flights. this is what we talked about. they could have done this a week ago. they could have done it. "waiting to wade in," quote of the day from you, emily. she wants blinken to set up charter flights for her constituents and all americans trapped in the country, in lebanon, immediately. this is critical. >> kayleigh: that is a democratic governor, governor whitmer, who is publicly saying she needs help, her constituents need help. what that tells you is a must have been ongoing conversations behind the scenes and she felt like they weren't heard, so she feels the need to say this

publicly a few days before an election. we are in a scary time. jonathan lemaire has a piece out about biden's winning includes in the middle east. he may have waning influence but he still has the ability to mess things up, and today he was asked about israel's plan, and if israel is going to target iranian oil fields. he said we are discussing that. since when do we broadcast what israel is discussing? finally he said today an attack is not going to happen. since when did we broadcast timing? listen to donald j. trump. don't broadcast with the generals are talking about. >> harris: this is coming to us pretty quickly, shannon. i want to share this. we knew the number would be high at how many americans are there. this is from jennifer griffin at the pentagon. there are somewhere in the region as 80,000 or more americans currently living in lebanon. gillian turner, excuse me. they are both fabulous reporters. i know that they are both giving us information. 80,000 plus. so if you had started this before, if you had told people

to get out, not just a light shelter-in-place or whatever the messaging was. if it had been fervent a week ago, this would be a different situation. >> shannon: i was shocked to find the number was that high. when the reporting started to come out, i had no idea that there were that many americans in that specific region, trouble spot. israel is not listening to biden, iran is not listening to him, and he asked, four years ago, are we better than we were on policy, his min demonstration could say yes. >> harris: they aren't listening to kamala harris, either. more "outnumbered" next.

>> it is day three of the port strike trail of the impact as this drags on? larry kudlow will tell us what we need to know right now. plus, folks left digging through the destruction from hurricane helene joining us in moments a woman along with her a first look at what is left of their home. and as we await israel's next move following iran's missile attack, he pentagon briefing will begin shortly. we will have that for you live, and nikki haley is here. come join john roberts and me live as "america reports," top of the hour. >> kayleigh: politico is out with a new piece breaking down

the body language of ohio senator j.d. vance and minnesota governor tim walz during this week's vp debate. they identified positives and negative points for both candidates, but there's two curious observation making waves. one point claims that j.d. vance's beard "can be positive to some, reading a strength and confidence, but to others, especially women, it can be negative, conveying aggression and opposition to feminist ideals." i have to tell my husband during duck season. they also highlighted that tim walz's wild eyes. "when walz felt especially passionate about something, he opened his eyes as wide as saucers. it could convey surprise but for walz it conveyed his emotional intensity." jeremy, i was not aware that beards convey aggression. >> jeremy: i know, it's amazing. i think there might've been a lot of guys who are just frankly

jealous of j.d.'s beard. it looks really good, you know what i mean? i'll be honest, mine comes to a little patchy. >> harris: you got your goatee going! >> jeremy: i just think there are a lot of haters out there. >> kayleigh: they said the wide eyes of tim walz, it used to be that it conveyed dangerous but now it conveys passion. >> emily: all it conveys is the complete bias of those authors and also the tragedy of politico, passing this office actual journalism. get out of here. remember, it wasn't okay when j.d. vance wore it but it is okay when walz ended. it's all trash. >> kayleigh: they said it was really good when he held his fingers like this, they were a little complementary in politico. >> shannon: the emotional intensity thing, that is what walz also says gives him a flub. the grammar, the emotional intensity. he says he missed speaks because of that. so the emotional intensity is not just about the eyes, it's

about what he says. >> kayleigh: what he says indeed. more "outnumbered" in a moment. n the navy is a navy wife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. the newday 100 loan allows you to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. so if you're in a situation where you need some help financially, give us a call. when you're looking for answers, it's good to have help. because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference. at humana, we know that's especially true when you're looking for a medicare supplement
