>> HELLO, EVERYONE.
THIS IS "OUTNUMBERED."
I AM EMILY COMPAGNO, HERE
WITH CO-HOST HARRIS
FAULKNER, JACKIE DEANDING
LIST, LARA TRUMP, GUY
BENSON.
WE BEGIN WITH THE CRISIS
AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER,
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
SILENCE AND NEW OUTRAGEOUS
USE OF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS
MONEY IN THE FACE OF
MIGRANT INFLUX.
NEW YORK CITY SETTING UP
TENT SHELTERS ON RANDALL’S
ISLAND, COMPLETE WITH
AMENITIES, WAIT FOR IT,
THAT INCLUDE X BOX GAME
CONSOLES, PING PONG
TABLES, FLUFF AND FOLD
LAUNDRY, PLENTY OF
CONTROVERSY, WITH
RESIDENTS HOUSED IN
HOMELESS SHELTERS, A STARK
CONTRAST TO RUNDOWN
CONDITIONS THEY LIVE IN.
MEANWHILE, THE SITUATION
AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER IS
SPIRALLING OUT OF CONTROL.
THE EL PASO MAYOR IS
DENYING THE WHITE HOUSE
ASKED HIM NOT TO DECLARE A
STATE OF EMERGENCY OVER
THE INFLUX OF ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS, BUT COMMENTS
AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING
LAST MONTH SUGGEST
OTHERWISE.
>> DID THE WHITE HOUSE ASK
YOU NOT TO DECLARE A STATE
OF EMERGENCY?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
ONE OF THE THINGS I’M
THANKFUL FOR THE WHITE
HOUSE, THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT, THEY’VE DONE A
REALLY, REALLY GOOD JOB
WORKING WITH US, HELPING
US TO MAKE SURE WE GET
FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO DO
THE JOB THAT BORDER CITIES
ARE REQUIRED TO DO.
I HAD A CONVERSATION THIS
MORNING OR YESTERDAY WITH
THE CHIEF OF THE U.S.
BORDER PATROL, CHIEF
ORTIZ, AND HE DOES NOT
SUPPORT DECLARING A STATE
OF EMERGENCY AT THIS
POINT.
OUR CONGRESSWOMAN URGED
FOR US NOT TO DO THAT AND
THE COUNTY JUDGE DOES NOT
SUPPORT THAT AT THIS
POINT.
WE MAY HAVE TO DO THAT.
I MEAN, THERE IS GOING TO
BE A POINT WE MAY HAVE TO
DO THAT, BUT AT THIS POINT
AND THE WHITE HOUSE ASKED
FOR US AT THIS POINT NOT
TO DO THAT.
>> BUT OUR PRESIDENT IS
STAYING SILENT ON THE
BORDER ISSUE, INSTEAD
TURNING HIS ATTENTION TO
OTHER CAUSES IN SOUTH
AMERICA.
FOX NEWS LEARNING THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
FUNDING DRAG PERFORMANCES
IN ECUADOR, THE STATE
DEPARTMENT AWARDING MORE
THAN $20,000, A CULTURAL
CENTER TO HOST DRAG
THEATER PERFORMANCES IN
THE NAME OF DIVERSITY,
EQUITY, INCLUSION.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT
DIDN’T RESPOND TO FOX
NEWS’ REQUEST FOR COMMENT.
GUY, THERE’S SO MUCH TO
UNPACT.
LET’S GET TOP LINE
THOUGHTS.
>> START WITH THE EL PASO,
TEXAS CONTROVERSY.
IT SEEMS LIKE THIS MAYOR
DOWN THERE IS CHANGING HIS
STORY AND HAS REPEATEDLY.
AT FIRST IT WASN’T JUST
HIM AND THE SOUND BITE WE
HEARD.
OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
COUNCIL SAID HE TOLD US.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
PHONED HIM, SAID PLEASE
DON’T DECLARE A STATE OF
EMERGENCY IN YOUR CITY, IT
WOULD LOOK BAD
POLITICALLY.
LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A
QUID PRO QUO, MY
SPECULATION, THEY GOT
MONEY THEY WOULD NEED TO
PAY TO DEAL WITH SOME OF
THE MIGRANTS IN EXCHANGE
FOR NOT CREATING A
POLITICAL EMBARRASSMENT,
DEMOCRAT ON DEMOCRAT AT
THE BORDER.
NOW HE IS SAYING,
YESTERDAY I SAW QUOTES HE
WAS DENYING HE DID IT FOR
POLITICAL REASONS OR BOWED
TO PRESSURE.
HE SAID YES, THEY ASKED,
BUT I AGREED THEY DIDN’T
NEED TO.
THE NEW STORY SEEMS TO BE
THEY DIDN’T ASK.
I DON’T BELIEVE HIM, I
DON’T BELIEVE ALMOST
ANYTHING COMING OUT OF
THIS ADMINISTRATION ON AN
ISSUE THAT THEY REFUSED TO
TAKE SERIOUSLY AND IT IS
TELLING THAT RATHER THAN
DEALING ON SUBSTANCE WITH
THE ACTUAL PROBLEM ITSELF,
THEY SEEM TO BE RUNNING
AROUND AS USUAL,
PREOCCUPIED WITH OPTICS
THAT THEY’RE ALSO BAD AT.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
AND THE OPTICS, LARA, ARE
QUESTIONABLE.
WHOSE OPTICS OR MESSAGE
ARE THEY CONTINUING TO
AMPLIFY?
IT SEEMS TO BE THIS VERY
NARROW SLIVER OF THE
POPULATION, THE
PROGRESSIVE LEFT, WHERE
THEY THINK THEY CAN CURRY
FAVOR WITH THE VOTES.
SEEMS TO ME TAKING THE
STEP BACK THAT IF THE
SOUTHERN BORDER, INCLUDING
INFLUX OF MIGRANTS, THE
ADMINISTRATION IS REFUSING
TO ACKNOWLEDGE AN
EMERGENCY THAT WOULD HELP
PROVIDE FOR A LOT OF
CHILDREN, A LOT OF
UNACCOMPANIED MINOR
CHILDREN AND AMERICAN
CHILDREN HAVING RESOURCES
DILUTED BECAUSE RESOURCES
ARE DENIED AS SUCH.
YET THE ADMINISTRATION IS
HAPPY TO FUND DRAG
PERFORMANCES FOR CHILDREN
IN ECUADOR.
IT IS FINE IF SOMEONE’S
MONEY WANTS TO GO TO THAT,
BUT NOT MY TAX DOLLARS
WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING IT.
>> THAT’S THE CRAZY PART.
THE SITUATION IN ECUADOR.
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
WE ARE SENDING AMERICAN
TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO
ANOTHER COUNTRY TO SUPPORT
DRAG PERFORMANCES.
THIS IS OUR MONEY.
WHY AREN’T WE SPENDING IT
HERE.
THIS SORT OF THING I THINK
PEOPLE FIND VERY, VERY
UPSETTING IN AMERICA WHEN
WE SEE OUR MONEY
SQUANDERED AND USED FOR
THINGS NOBODY UNDERSTANDS.
BUT THE SITUATION AT THE
SOUTHERN BORDER, THEY
CAN’T CALL IT AN
EMERGENCY, OF COURSE,
BECAUSE THEY WOULD
ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT WE KNOW
IT IS, IT IS A COMPLETE
DISASTER DOWN THERE.
YOU HAVE SUCH A BAD
SITUATION NOW THAT THE
DRUG CARTELS ARE ACTUALLY
MAKING MORE MONEY HUMAN
TRAFFICKING THAN THEY ARE
ON THE DRUGS THEMSELVES,
AND YOU THINK ABOUT ALL OF
THE PEOPLE HARMED BY THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT DOES TO
OUR COUNTRY.
THESE MIGRANTS AND PEOPLE
THEY ARE BRINGING OVER,
THINK OF IT, 59 PEOPLE
DEAD IN THE BACK OF A
TRACTOR-TRAILER, THE
HORRORS THE PEOPLE HAVE TO
ENDURE TO COME HERE, YOU
HAVE THE SITUATION NOW
WHERE THEY’RE USING
SNAPCHAT AND TWITTER AND
DIFFERENT SOCIAL MEDIA
OUTLET TO LURE PEOPLE TO
TRAFFIC FOR THEM, THE DRUG
CARTELS.
IT IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS, BUT
THEY CAN’T CALL IT WHAT IT
IS BECAUSE THEY WOULD
ACKNOWLEDGE THE DISASTER
THAT THEY CAUSED AND
THEY’RE CONTINUING TO
CAUSE TO HAPPEN IN
AMERICA.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
AND BRINGING IT HOME HERE
IN THIS CITY, ON THE WAY
TO WORK YESTERDAY AND
TODAY, I NOTICED IN A LOT
OF THE HD TV BILLBOARDS
THAT ROTATE ON THE
CORNERS, THERE ARE A LOT
OF INFORMATION RESOURCES
WHERE WE CAN DONATE TO
HELP THE MIGRANTS IN THE
TOWN.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT FOR
THE HOMELESS.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN AD
FROM THE MAYOR THAT AGAIN,
OUR TAX DOLLARS FUND THESE
PARTICULAR ADS, SAYING HOW
CAN I HELP THE HOMELESS
AND THE SHELTERS HERE, AND
READING ABOUT HOW THE
MIGRANTS HAVE X BOX AND
LAUNDRY DONE FOR THEM,
THAT’S GREAT, BUT THE
HOMELESS ARE ABSOLUTELY
DISCARDED.
>> THE BUSINESS OWNERS,
THEY LOST THEIR BUSINESSES
TO THE TUNE OF BEING
PEOPLE THAT WOULD NEED THE
RESOURCES YOU’RE TALKING
ABOUT.
THEY HAVEN’T SEEN IT FOR
THEM EITHER.
YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE
TRANCHE OF MONEY TOP DOWN
FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THAT WAS SPENT
ON COVID BUT WHEN YOU’VE
HAD A MOM AND POP
OPERATION FOR 30 YEARS AND
YOU CAN’T STAY OPEN
BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN LOCKED
DOWN FOR SO LONG THAT
REOPENING JUST DOESN’T
EVEN MAKE SENSE ANY MORE,
THAT MONEY DIDN’T GO TO
YOU.
THAT WASN’T PPP.
THAT WAS PLEASE HELP ME,
I’M FOLDING.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
RESCUE MONEY.
I WANT TO GET TO THE ISSUE
OF THE EL PASO LEADERSHIP.
THEY STARTED SENDING BUSES
FROM THERE AROUND THE
COUNTRY.
AND WHEN IT LOOKED BAD FOR
DEMOCRATS, I KNOW BECAUSE
I ASKED ABOUT IT WHEN I
WAS IN TEXAS, I SAID, AND
WE REALLY WANTED TO GO
DOWN AND SEE THE MAYOR BUT
HE WAS VERY BUSY, HE’S A
DEMOCRAT.
WHAT WE DID FIND FROM HIS
OFFICE, NO, NO, WE CALL
THE PEOPLE BEFORE WE SEND
THEM.
YOU DON’T THINK PEOPLE IN
MARCH THAT’S VINEYARD
DIDN’T KNOW PLANES ARE
LANDING?
IT IS A SMALL AIRPORT.
YOU DON’T THINK THEY SIGH
BOATS COMING THE SIZE OF
BUILDINGS, THOSE FERRIES?
COME ON.
THEY KNEW SOME OF THOSE
PEOPLE WERE COMING, THEY
HAD TO HAVE.
AND IF YOU WANT TO FIND
UNDOCUMENT PEOPLEDED PEOPLE, GO
SOME OF THE ISLANDS LIKE
MARTHA’S VINEYARD, THEY
DON’T HAVE HOUSING FOR THE
PEOPLE THEY HAVE THERE, SO
IT IS AN INTERESTING
CONUNDRUM.
NOW WE’RE 19 DAYS OUT,
THEY HAVE TO START TO
TACKLE THESE ISSUES.
BORDER PATROL PRESIDENT OF
THE UNION IN DEL RIO
SECTOR TOLD ME MEN AND
WOMEN ARE ON THEIR KNEES,
PULLED 2 PLUS MILLION OUT
OF THE WATER.
DEAD, THEY PULL EVERY DAY
PEOPLE THEY RESUSCITATE.
THAT’S HOW BAD THE
DECISION MAKING AND POLICY
HAS BEEN OUT OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
IT IS HEARTBREAKING.
WE HAVE THE HEART TO SAY
LET’S FIGURE THIS OUT
BEFORE WE LEAVE IT ALL
OPEN.
WHAT YOU HAVE GOING ON
SOUTH OF THE BORDER, YOU
SAW IT IN GUATEMALA, THE
CARAVAN IN GUATEMALA NOW,
OUR FRIENDS ARE BEING HIT
BY BAD DECISIONS AS WE SAY
CAN YOU POSSIBLY
CERTIFICATE ESPECIALLY
TISHESLY KEEP THEM THERE.
IN ARIZONA, MAYORKAS WENT
THERE, QUIET ABOUT THIS IN
JULY, THE PRESIDENT SAID
DON’T LET HIM SEE THAT
SITUATION.
LET’S BUILD A LITTLE BIT
OF WALL THERE.
DID YOU KNOW THEY BUILT A
LITTLE WALL IN YUMA?
THEY COULD BE BUILDING A
LITTLE WALL EVERYWHERE
ALONG THE 1,933 MILES OF
BORDER THAT WE HAVE.
>> A LOT OF BIT OF WALL.
>> IT ALREADY EXISTS, THEY
HAVE TO STAND IT UP.
>> TAKE IT OUT OF THE
DUST.
IT IS RUSTING.
>> PAYING PEOPLE TO GUARD
PORTIONS OF THE WALL.
THEY HAD THE SUPPLIES TO
BUILD, BUT WE SPENT MONEY
INSTEAD OF PEOPLE GUARDING
THAT SECTION SO THE
SUPPLIES WEREN’T TAKEN
AWAY, THEY COULD HAVE
STOOD IT UP, THE WALL
WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
IT IS INSANE.
>> THEY QUIETLY BUILT THAT
SECTION, THEY WERE WORRIED
HOW IT WOULD LOOK.
THE OPTICS WHEN IT CAME
INTO HOW THE ELECTIONS
WOULD PLAY OUT, THEY WERE
WORRIED ABOUT THAT PIECE
AND THAT’S WHAT THEY
FIXED.
I DID SEE WHEN THEY DID
THAT, BUT NOBODY WAS
TALKING ABOUT IT, NOBODY
WAS TALKING ABOUT IT
EXCEPT US.
WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT
THIS, AS A NEW YORK CITY
RESIDENT, SEEING THE
MIGRANTS COME IN, SEEING
THE ACCOMMODATIONS MADE AT
THE TENTS, IT IS UPSETTING
BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY
PROBLEMS HERE, WE ARE
DEALING WITH CRIME,
BUSINESSES, TRYING TO GET
OUR LIVES BACK UP AND
RUNNING AFTER THE PANDEMIC
AND CRUSHING TIME WE’RE
NOT SEEING ENOUGH CHANGE.
YOU SAY WOW, MY TAXPAYER
RESOURCES ARE GOING TO
THIS.
AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE
THAT’S FRUSTRATING, I SAY
IT IS NOT FAIR TO LEAVE
THEM ALL AT THE BORDER
STATES BECAUSE THIS IS A
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PROBLEM, NOT JUST THREE OR
FOUR STATES DEALING WITH
IT.
>> CAN I ASK A QUICK
QUESTION.
WHAT ABOUT SHERIFF
ARAPAHOE WHEN HE WAS
BUILDING TENTS?
WAS THAT A DIFFERENT
SITUATION?
THOSE TENTS WE HAVE HERE
ARE HARD STRUCTURED.
THEY’RE COSTING MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS HERE AND I AM
CURIOUS TO KNOW THE POLITICS OF TENT BUILDING.
POLITICS OF TENT BUILDING.
>> I THINK THOSE WERE LESS
CUSHY.
>> HE WAS SUED FOR IT AS
WELL.
>> ON THE DRAG QUEEN
ISSUE, PEOPLE ARE TALKING
ABOUT THIS HEADLINE, I
DON’T THINK ANYONE ON THE
COUCH, I WILL SPEAK FOR
MYSELF, NOT CLUTCHING MY
PEARLS OVER DRAG SHOWS.
IF PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE
FUN, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT,
ADULTS EXPRESSING
THEMSELVES, THAT’S
FANTASTIC.
ZERO PROBLEM.
HOWEVER, U.S. TAXPAYER
FOREIGN AID DOLLARS,
THAT’S THE QUESTION HERE,
NOT ARE DRAG SHOWS OKAY,
PARTICULARLY FOR ADULTS,
SHOULD U.S. TAX DOLLARS
FLOW TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES
TO FUND THEM, SEPARATE
QUESTION.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
BUT THE THOUGHEME OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION, IT GOES TO
EVERY WHICH WAY BUT WHO
NEEDS IT IN TERMS OF
PRIORITY, WHICH INCLUDE
EVERY STATE THAT’S A
BORDER STATE.
RIGHT NOW, EVERY STATE IS
AND IT IS OUR AMERICAN
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE BEING
ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED AND
