"outnumbered" is next.

>> you are looking life at the senate floor, where we are waiting a confirmation vote for terms pick for fbi director, of course, kash patel. the senate barely voted to break the filibuster on patel's nomination. we are expecting the vote on his confirmation sometime later this afternoon. the information we have so far is susan collins has announced she will vote against the nomination despite four years ago voting for several of biden's nominees. this center was 1 of 6 republicans to vote for them. we wait to see how mitch mcconnell votes, but the expectation is -- kash patel will very likely have the votes. president trump could likely get all of his nominees. this is "outnumbered." i'm kayleigh mcenany with my cohost emily campagna. joining us carley shimkus, "fox & friends" first cohost. cheryl casone, host of american dream home on fox business. there he is, dr. marc siegel,

fox news senior medical analyst and professor of medicine at n nyu -- here's where we begin. the confirmation hearing for kash patel. a huge day in the movement behind president donald trump as he vowed to restore trust in the bureau that so many have lost faith and in the past few years. >> i'm going to like good cops be cops and put handcuffs on the bad guys and put child molestors in prison, and make sure that bad people go to prison. that's track one. strike two, to restore the trust and the fbi that's degraded not by my opinion, but by the gallup poll, only 40% of americans have trust and faith in the fbi. it's a cataclysmic failure in leadership to get to that point that did not happen over time. what the fbi must do, while tackling violent crime and protecting americans national security, it's to work with

congress, republicans, democrats to expose any government corruption, provide accountability through transparency, and get you through the documents that you are the custodians of. the fbi reports to congress. >> today is a huge day for the maga movement, i would argue the biggest day of any of these confirmations. if kash patel becomes fbi director, something that has been long awaited by the maga movement for many reasons -- this morning, i was thinking about the importance of the men were looking at becoming fbi director. i couldn't help but think of the headlines we've seen, and we have covered together on this couch over many years. this in a nutshell is wise man matters. cnn special counsel john durham concludes fbi never should have launched full trump/russia probe. national review, fbi spent a

year preparing platforms to censor biden stories withheld info on hunter's laptop authenticity. fox news, heavily redacted records show fbi's marketing -- of catholics went beyond what it claimed, that they concluded the doj -- there was no malice there, however, the headline stands. christianity today, federal convictions of pro-lifers blocking clinics arising. four of many headlines as to why this matters. >> and i argue a step further, which is not only does nomination, but exactly that man, exactly kash patel, who has arisen for such a time as this. truly, there is no one better than him i can serve in this position, and it shocks me that they were republicans aren't unified in their support for him. it disheartened me. he wrote a beautiful op-ed. his pitch essentially was "this is what i'm going to do as director of the fbi." if you read that, i don't know how you can find fault with this man. it disturbs me that there are some democratic lawmakers they called him vindictive, sucking

up to president trump, when his bipartisan experience has been phenomenal. his mother escaped idi amin in uganda. he is an incredibly well-rounded background. he served in the obama administration in the department of justice. he has been a federal public defender and also prosecutor. he has helped bring international terrorist groups to justice, as well as those on the home front. he says firsthand the use of the pf -- tool to use in the past to hunt down terrorists, he saw that as a weapon against political opponents here with his time in the house intelligence committee that opened his eyes to truly the abuses at the fbi, and underscores the fact that only 40% of americans have faith in this formerly storied institution. he, in my opinion, is a highly decorated and incredibly experienced man, but also one of the utmost honor and character, an honor to be an american under his watch at the helm of the

fbi. i hope he confirms, and any republican that doesn't vote for him is held to account for that travesty. >> there are some with an alternate perspective. i will say this. having set by the man of many times on air force one, many long conversations. i found him to be cerebral, smart, tough, levelheaded. let's bring in chris murphy -- let's bring in the ever so levelheaded chris murphy. >> if you vote for kash patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave. >> kash patel, mark my words, will cause evil in this building behind us, and republicans who vote for him will rue that day. >> rue the day. >> expect that from democrats at this point, and take that with a grain of salt it should be taken. i was just thinking, as this confirmation vote is going to come down, after the overturning of roe vs. wade, there was a

string of attacks on pro-life clinics. to add to your list, this headline from september 22, fox news. "zero arrests in at least the 17 revenge attacks on pro-life organizations." donald trump was forced to pardon 23 pro-life protesters for violating the -- act. think about that comparison. i really liked "the wall street journal" op-ed that kash patel wrote about how to rebuild public trust in the fbi. not a single line in it was political at all. one of the first paragraphs talked about the terrorist attack that just took place in new orleans, and how his job is to mitigate crime, child predators, drug traffickers. that's what the fbi should be about. there is no reason the approval rating of the fbi should be as low as it is right now, 40%. we are talking but doge and elon musk stripping back the federal government. i think kash patel will strip back the fbi and get back to the

basics of fighting crime. it's right now not seen as a crime-fighting organization: it is seen as a political one. >> kash put footnotes in the "wall street journal." i want our viewers to see the statistics. the erosion of trust is evident. only 40% of americans -- think about how dismal this is -- a favorable view of the fbi. was into this one. gallup recently reported that nearly half of all americans, highest in three decades would be afraid to walk alone to walk within a mile of their home. a little wonder when the country sees 20,000 homicides and 100,000 rapes a year and 200 overdoses a day. violent crime demands immediate action. people that want to walk outside their home, and the fbi is finding 76-year-old grandmothers who have eight grandchildren to lock up for standing in a doorway? >> and going after mom's that are protesting, or at least speaking up, let's just say, at school board meetings. it is time for the mission of the fbi to get back to its core

mission, just to fight crime, to protect americans, if surveillance needs to be done against criminals, not political opponents of that administration at the time. that is with the fbi's going to do. he has made it clear he's going to do that. also, he said he wanted to have a better relationship with congress, and that he is for congressional oversight. what a breath of fresh air. usually, you get a fear of being honest and sharing information, but absolutely, you should have congressional oversights, but he is very well respected in the community, as you mentioned just a few months ago. he's going to restore the fbi. the democrats just don't have a case against him. they fought every single pick of donald trump's, and we will see how this vote goes in the next hour a half. >> looks like every single pick

that donald trump has will likely get through. we await the pick for labor, but he could get every single one. >> and that is not an accident. i want to talk about kash patel. i agree with everything you said on the couch. it is no accident he starts that "wall street journal" op-ed with uganda where -- state. the point being, government overreach, totalitarian resisting government overreach. what is the role of the fbi? this is a historical problem. the reason goes way back past christopher wray all the way back to jager hoover, which is also not an accident. j. edgar hoover may have been involved in the assassinations of rfk or jfk or martin luther king. huge overreach of the fbi. of course, rfk jr.'s on that right now, so there is a historical issue here: get the fbi back to what it's supposed to do: crime solving. it's not a judicial branch, not a political branch. it's supposed to protect america and go after crime.

>> democrats hold a press conference. listened to about 15 minutes of it. we have a picture. it was heavy on hyperbole. it was light on the data points. a lot of apoplectic speak. kash patel looks like he might get through this afternoon. you could have a new fbi director. we might be saying fbi director kash patel in short order. coming up, president trump's latest immigration movement, tamovement,-funded benefits for illegal immigrants.

♪ ♪ >> president trump signing a new executive order to strip illegal immigrants of all taxpayer benefits. the white house as those funds

will be diverted to help american citizens who are truly in need, like those with disabilities, and veterans. griff jenkins has the latest from washington. >> this is welcome news to border officials, who have been saying for years that free stuff, like federal benefits, are a major poll factor, incentive driving illegal immigration. this group wants to end that, telling every agency to root out, cut off any programs providing benefits to illegal migrants. take a look. the congressional budget office -- for illegal migrants before this order of the next ten years would include tens of billions. medicare, obamacare -- food stamps. talked about it earlier this morning. >> so many of our issues come back to the border. if you take 30-40000000 illegal aliens, you take medicare fraud, social security fraud. why are we taking the people's social security payments and giving it to illegal aliens?

we know that's happening in the united states of america and we have to stop it. >> federation for american immigration reforms as taxpayers have been spending over $180 billion annually, and this institute estimates every new illegal immigrant costs $130,000. the order mandates improvements and welfare eligibility verification. that's important, because if you recall in 1996, president clinton signed a law -- welfare abuse. at bar to illegal immigrants from receiving a wide range of benefits, but under the biden administration, once they got paroled into the u.s., they became qualified aliens and became eligible again for some benefits. that now should end. >> griff jenkins, thank you. $182 billion annually. i can't wrap my mind around that. and the saddest, most heartbreaking part, is how many veterans, underserved, and single mothers are just getting

obliterated with zero protections, and a zero efficient programs, and yet we are spending all of this to create, as griff says, a poll factor. >> and have millions of americans living beneath the poverty line in this country. you have families that can't afford to eat. you have low-income families going to mcdonald's for their meals pick the costs are now going up. they can't afford the cost of rent, housing. we've got a housing crisis in this country. so you've got americans on the one side and migrants on the other. look at what it has cost new york city. we spent $5 billion in new york city over two years. excuse me, per year. we talked about this, $12 billion in - $15 billion from the city that looks like it will stop next year. the cost of housing, health care, school, all of it. taxpayers are saying enough is enough, especially those taxpayers that cannot afford to house and feed their own

children are now spending their taxpayer dollars to migrants. that's what we saw in that november. it was about the economy and immigration. that was the election in november. the two biggest issues. >> so many taxpayers were also picking up and moving. we saw in the states -- a federal versus, but the reality is that as local families were being pushed off soccer fields and out of schools and the like, so they picked up and move to florida. they moved elsewhere. the cost-benefit analysis includes the ripple effect of the loss of those tax dollars that then were battling and printing money and giving them out to others. >> am is also another future-looking at number the congressional budget office release, and it says over the next ten years, the federal government was planning on spending $177 billion on benefits for illegal immigrants. to put that into perspective, if you spend $1 million a day, it would take you 485 years to spend that much money. that's crazy.

this gets under donald trump's skin for the sheer principle of it. also, some of this money is going to lincoln riley's killer, who stayed in a taxpayer-funded hotel in new york city, taxpayer-funded flight to atlanta, georgia, where she lost her life. the thing that strikes me this week, that we are now exactly a month into donald trump's second term and he is not letting up on this issue. it's not just remain in mexico and build a wall, it is increased drone flights to hunt fentanyl labs, labeling cartels as terrorist organizations, repatriation flights to countries that we don't even have double medic ties to, like venezuela. he had four years to think about this, and he is executing right now. i would love for somebody to interview alejandro mayorkas, and seo -- how do you explain this compare and contrast that we are seeing right now? >> and as we talk about fentanyl, we have hearings to reclassify it. kayleigh, talk to me about how the democrats and those on the liberal left are screaming that

this is rooted in racism when we know that americans struggle to put food on the table in this last administration, and as carly articulated, illegal immigrants enjoyed plane flights, five-star hotels in the city, so much more. it has nothing to do with racism: it has to do with putting on your oxygen mask before you put the mask on others. >> you think about the social security trust fund and how it is set to run out at some point. you think about all the young people who are paying into a system they may never take from, and then you hear these immigrants, illegal immigrants, getting benefits. there is a 1996 federal law that is supposed to ban illegal immigrants from getting federal benefits. but there is an exception. if you are paroled into the country, you become a qualified alien recan get these benefits. and in five years, get full benefits. sit and think about that. as social security may run out, you have the biden administration saying "we will let you parole in place, then take your benefits." that's what we are dealing with.

i don't like declared of statements, but i will declare this loudly: alejandro mayorkas, to your point, is the worst nominee or cabinet member ever in modern history. he allowed this to happen, the biden administration allowed this to happen, and there was virtually zero accountability along the way. >> i will never forget him showing up at a charity hockey match in d.c. and insisted on dropping the puck when the border was in flames. i wonder where the hell my tax dollars were going -- his salary. doctor, talk to us about the health issue. we saw this on the screen, those astronomical numbers going toward illegal immigrant mothers and the like, but the reality is we have atrocious, for example, mortality rates among african americans of any developed country. we have atrocious health conditions here, so how can we start prioritizing those people, those americans who are suffering in our own communities before handing out dollars to people coming in illegally?

>> you are right. to interview multiple people at the hospitals down by the border. they were overwhelmed before the illegal immigrants came in, and then a -- the issue of fentanyl, getting hurt along the way it running across the border, bringing infectious diseases. how can we demand vaccinations here but let anybody run through the border without vaccines or screenings, the way you do with legal immigration? we are a country of legal immigrants, not illegal immigrants. we saw that we can barely survive. to your point, our health care system barely survives an onslaught. imagine what this is doing to it. i am applauding the idea of what president trump is doing, a multifaceted approach. you want to cut down on fentanyl? make it schedule one, put tariffs on china so the greatest uncle flooding into mexico. close the border to the cartels. we are down from 96000 to 60000 border apprehensions. we have to go to zero. we have a long way to go still. >> and including more to go on

>> you are looking live at the senate floor, where we are writing about an hour and 15 minutes from now for a confirmation vote on trump's pick fbi director. that's kash patel. the vote is expected at 1:45 p.m. eastern. the vote on this, 51-47. susan collins was the lone republican to vote no. lisa murkowski voting yes. we will wait to see how they vote on the actual confirmation. thom tillis declaring today "is the day we vote to confirm kash patel." we will keep you updated. we all saw the shocking delta plane that crash landed in

toronto. despite the horrifying ordeal happening in canadian airspace, some on the left are still trying to blame president trump. in his recent changes to the faa -- for the incident. when the delta ceo was pressed on whether this has anything to do with president trump, he pushed back pretty forcefully. >> the trump administration recently barred many employees of the faa administration. do those cuts were you and do you feel that impact safety? i note -- but after looking at all these mishaps, a lot of people are nervous. duties affecting? speak of cuts do not affect us. the reality is, there's over 50,000 people that work at the faa, and i understand the cuts were 300 people, noncritical safety projects. the trump administration has committed to investing deeply in terms of improving the overall technologies used in the air traffic control systems,

modernizing the skies. they have committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators, safety investigators, so no, i'm not concerned with that at all. >> that was gayle king been fact-checked. maybe, the delta ceo has a career in fact-checking. no fact-check on this. what he said was correct. >> congresswoman jasmine crockett from texas was on "the view" yesterday, and she said she attributed on terms high approval rating to people being uneducated, but people will soon learn donald trump is bad when hospitals in rural america start closing down and planes continue to fall out of the sky. i actually thought this was a good question to ask, because this is a narrative that's out there, and to have the delta ceo shut it down and say that's not the case finally puts the stove

rest -- puts this to rest. he could've passed the bucket and said "we are best to getting what's going on, all options are on the table," but he said this cut too, by the way, nonsafety critical personnel had nothing to do with this crash. >> you bring up the topic of "the view, jasmine crockett. we are on the topic of sanguine voices. with that, let's bring in scarborough. >> this is going to be the political equivalent of death by a thousand cuts if they don't do this in a more responsible way. those plane crashes that you are seeing, you are going to see more of them. >> they are losing it. >> i think he needs a mental health check there. [laughter] like he said, the ceo of delta just said 300 people versus 50,000 employees. last i checked, this was canada. i know president trump says it is the 51st state, but he doesn't control the airspace,

does he? the reason the plane crashed is because it was going too fast, and one of the wings fell off. that's why it flipped. the only thing that i would say to the ceo of delta is if i was sitting upside down on the plane i might want more than $30,000 in reparations. i would ask for $100,000. >> as we look at this, i want to bring the secretary of transportation sean duffy. this is out there, the plane crashes or terms fall. that's what they are saying. sean duffy says this. there is a growing media narrative that there are more crashes now the trump as president versus biden. under biden's presidency, there were 57 aviation incidents in the u.s. compared to 35 under trump. he goes on to talk about the need for improvement of safety and for structure that's long overdue. >> unfortunately, the facts get buried by the more salacious sound bites and headlines that are being peddled by those in the media outlets. the cause of the crash is still to be determined. we don't know what happened.

what we know as you can count on the media to spread the wildfire of nonfacts, and he gayle king interaction reminded me of this cnn interaction, saying that making the same point of the eradication of those in the nuclear positions, and didn't even know who -- it's like all they read our the made up sound bites, and then they do entire shows on them. the same argument, ironic -- it's the same argument they use to decry the invasion of ukraine. it happened under biden's watch, but they said "but trump was president before hand." went to the use the same logic here to see -- clearly, the faa, only two as, was in existence in its toxic format for the four years under the biden administration. as always, logic is lost on the left. >> cheryl, you are my compass and all things aviation some dying to hear what you have to say.

>> he's great, has been in fox business several times. it's called transport canada. they oversee air traffic control's personnel, airport maintenance, et cetera, operations for canada, not the faa. i want to make that clear. i could not stop laughing yesterday at all the social media posts blaming trump for what happens to that delta flight in canada. not connected. sean duffy, our transportation secretary, is trying to hire 3500 air traffic controllers. that's where the deficit is. anybody that's been let go from the faa so far were not safety-related. we need more tsa agents, and more air traffic controllers. as for blaming donald trump for what happened in canada, that just shows the desperation, to your point, kayleigh. i want to say this over and over: it is completely safe to fly. i will fly every day, and people should not be afraid. it was just bad timing. 16 years of safety in this

nation until this month. >> great perspective. flaming trump. it's what we call low-hanging fruit. sometimes, that's what you want to pick. the democratic governor of illinois is reviving his parties disturbing rhetoric and comparing the trump white house, listen to this to those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! —uh. —here i'll take that.

>> i'm watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. the authoritarian playbook is laid bare. if you think i'm overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: it took the nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. all i'm saying is that the fire alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control. >> wow. he also said "i don't invoke the specter of nazis likely," except he draws a comparison to donald trump. >> i'm angry about this and glad we are doing this topic. after the thing that occurred on "face the nation," where she is talking about free speech leading to the rise of the nazis, exactly the opposite. the nazis suppressed free speech which led to the of the jews.

pritzker is a jewish person, so how dare he make this comparison and he says he doesn't make it lightly. can be made period. donald trump, who is trying to decrease government overreach that occurred in the last administration, he's doing the opposite of what the nazis did. throwing hitler and the nazi rhetoric rams -- by the way, pritzker also mixed up -- he said immigrants. he didn't put the word illegal immigrants here. we are trying to get back the sanctity of the country, with secure borders, freedom, freedom of speech. trump is standing for that. a disgrace. >> tens of millions of people voted on trump. the first republic and in 20 years to win the popular vote. when you look at what he's done so far, a marquette poll shows 63% favor his executive orders, only having two sexes, 60% in favor of deporting illegal

immigrants, 60% for gas reduction -- it's popular what he is doing. what is pritzker saying about 60% of the country? >> i think he is deflecting from the budget problems the state has right now, $3.5 billion poll last go around -- and talking but the budget. trying to maybe jump into the hole -- with the democrats. there is no clear leadership with the democratic party right now. their meeting was a disaster where the dnc got to meet -- i think started to see people like them. you have got the microphone. if this helps you politically down the road -- we don't know if he's going to run again for governor. might be thinking about his run for president. who knows? i think it was misguided.

>> best of luck with the strategy. a reporter asked him how it's not an insult to have the mark in public who voted for trump when talking about trump being a nazi. immediately shot back-pick those words never came out "of my mouth." it's not true. it's a very fair question from that reporter. >> it's like watching a reality show where someone denies what you saw before your own eyes. this is dangerous. we have a commander in chief with two attempted assassinations. you can't tell me that rhetoric, inflammatory, violent, calls to violence rhetoric had zero impact on the rise of many millions of individuals who portray cavalierly our commander of chief as hitler or a nazi. it's dangerous and irresponsible. for every democrat using that language, falling back on the knee-jerk talking points -- i just go ahead and keep doing it

because it will just keep you away from holding onto your seat during the midterms and upcoming elections. i am fearful for the targets of their fire. we have seen supreme court justices. we have seen the commissioner of the epa we have seen -- that were violent and this rhetoric has a big impact on that. >> emily raises a good point. a bullet narrowly passed president trump. he barely lived after that. iran is after that, aunt -- pain is comparison. >> joe biden gave an awful office address and said the rhetoric needs to be toned down, and 3 minutes later -- it's just the way things are in this country right now. great point. we started off the week with margaret brennan, free speech, holocaust/nazi comparison and we are capping things off with this, which means that a new tagline is needed. if he is a nazi, then 77 million

americans are nazi sympathizers, including a larger portion of illinois voters than ever before. donald trump's approval rating in illinois is 45%, which is higher than the 43% he received in november. a presidential candidate in the state -- since george h.w. bush in 1992. no one believes this and i think it's disrespectful to take what used to be -- and turn it into a casual comparison. >> threat to democracy did not work. -- sum of money that doge is saving. that's what president trump says, next. greg takes prevagen for his brain and this is his story. hi, i'm greg. i live in bloomington, illinois. i'm not an actor. i'm just a regular person. eight years ago, i just didn't feel like i was on my game. i started taking prevagen and i want people to know that prevagen has worked for me.

remember the stimulus checks that went on during the pandemic? that boosted inflation. that is another drag on the wallets. i would rather see the physical house of the united states of america itself in order. >> talk to us about the political capital. if every american got a little something, do you think it would be worth its weight in gold as a move? >> it's incredible to think about american households getting a check. it would be $5,000 was the initial proposal. we will see if that happens. 79 million households of 132 million households would receive this check. the political capital you could get from that is enormous. he is already at a 3% approval -- maybe 63% if this transpired. >> if he does this, you know --

sign the checks in public like he did on inauguration day. i think a better idea would be to handle doge the way he is right now: cut spending and at the end of the rainbow -- "sesame street" and a rock, education programs in china. here is another one. boeing overcharged the air force by a thousand percent in. we can have a lower rate for all americans which is a huge win. the interviews at donald trump and elon musk dated together with sean hannity were so important. if you have questions over elon musk's motivation, watch that interview where he said that there are a lot of rich people in this country. they need to care about this country. if it goes down and we are broke, their businesses close. >> great point. >> i see both sides of this.

the deficit is of a couple trillion dollars. on the other hand, americans love a freebie. the idea of getting a few thousand dollars speaks to the idea that doge is doing something for you, for mainstream. there's so, so much bureaucratic bloat in this country, in the government from the biden administration before, that doge is a huge step in the right direction. americans seeing it -- >> i would rather have social security around. that's on -- what i would like to see. >> national security threat. >> medicare, the entitlement programs which is the biggest part of the debt, i would rather protect those. >> i like the idea of the diversifying thing. political capital that is so priceless, but the majority of

it goes back to the bipartisan debt which is horrifying, but that's why i'm not a mathematician. [laughter] more "outnumbered" in a moment. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
