Transcripts For FOXNEWS The Faulkner Focus 20240829

Vice president Kamala Harris is making a stunning flipflop on another crucial issue, the Border Wall. This is the Faulkner Focus and im Sandra Smith in for harris. She promised to back a bipartisan Border Bill that failed earlier this year. But what is in that Border Bill . One of the key pieces is 650 Million to be spent on building and reinforcing the Border Wall. That is a massive change from What Harris has said about the wall in the past. Here she is during her 2019 campaign. On the subject of trans national gangs, lets be perfectly clear. The president s medieval Vanity Project Wont stop them. He held up the united States Government and its workers around his Vanity Project called a wall. This president s medieval Vanity Project called a wall. For him he talks about that wall. Wants everyone to be preoccupied with his billion dollar multibillion dollar Vanity Project. This issue is about a Vanity Project for this president. Let me be very clear i will not vote for a wall under any circumstances. Bill many critics arent buying the 180. Lindsey graham with this. Do you really believe she will build a wall . Thats [bleep]. She has had four years to build and a wall. If you are looking for her to get this nation back on track you are looking to the wrong person. The truth lies in their record. Sandra new York Post not holding back. They argued dont believe for one minute Kamala Harriss pivot on open border. F flipfloping copies the don. She stole the idea from trump. Jackui heinrich with more on that for us. In all fairness, there is a little more context here. The bipartisan Border Bill that harris is now embracing as her own plan was a compromise with senate republicans that was hashed out between the two sides and failed in the senate earlier this year and the funding for the Border Wall was requested by senate republicans and money already set aside during the trump years and this bill just insures that money would in fact be spent on The Border barrier, like many sticky policy issues that the democratic base might not all agree on Kamala Harris has not come out and explained herself about this and it is a far cry from the statement she made in 2020 quote trumps Border Wall is a complete waste of Taxpayer Money and wont make us any safer. A bigger departure from the 2017 statement. Trumps Border Wall is a stupid use of money. I will block any funding for it. This past february, a poll showed for the first time since they started asking the question. 53 supported a Border Wall. She also announced this, Kamala Harris, like it was no big deal at the convention because this is the very same pitch that Joe Biden has been making all along. I refuse to play politics with our security and here is my pledge to you. As president , i will bring back the bipartisan Border Security Bill that he killed and i will sign it into law. So if harris were to win and if she gets a congress that can enact this legislation it would certainly be interesting then to see how she navigates the messaging around building the wall as is mandated by this bill that she is now embracing. But this is, in fact, the plan that president biden had been campaigning on ever since republicans in the senate were instructed to kill it because President Trump said at the time that he didnt want it, sandra. Sandra Jackui Heinrich live at the White House. Jason chaffetz, Fox News Contributor is joining us now. Flipflop or not, are you buying it, jason . Well, it is a total complete flipflop. She has been a senator or the Vice President since january of 2017. She has fought vehemently against the wall and suddenly were less than 30 days before early voting starts and now she wants a wall . This is this is the problem when you never answer questions from the media. She never gets asked this question. What suddenly happened to make this change other than the fact that it is a winning issue for Donald Trump and republicans. It is a common Sense Solution and she is going to lose on the immigration issue. Sandra amazeings some of the ideas she is now running on. Well learn more when she sits down for the taped interview. Former Secretary Of State Mike Pompeo if Donald Trump because president again he must use the military to smash mexican cartels. He said this, quote. If any country be it mexico or otherwise stands with us in fighting back against dangers that threaten our Home Lorand then we should stand with them and support them in every way possible. We should engage in joint Military Operations if a foreign government becomes complicit or even friendly with our enemies we need to treat them accordingly and we should strongly consider officially designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. How big of an issue do you see this becoming, jason . If you want to solve the Problem Secretary Pompeo is exactly right. There is a war that is happening. There are hundreds of thousands of people dying. There are people putting their lives on the line and thousands upon thousands of women that are getting raped as they bring in this human trafficking. You will either be serious about it or fight it and take out the cartels on our side of The Border and erect that wall and make sure nobody gets across and then you have to take the fight against these cartels right at the source. If you do that and you put pressure and take care of the chinese who are responsible for bringing a lot of this fentanyl and making the present cursors and doing the Pill Presses and engaging with these mexican cartels to bring them north and then doing the Money Laundering afterwards, if you dont do all of that you arent serious about actually solving this problem. Sandra we know the cartels have a deep network already right here throughout the united states. Far beyond our border, jason. Meanwhile, a story that we have been watching closely and that is denver. Denvers Sanctuary City policies are pushing violent Gang Activity into the surrounding suburbs. Here is what an official said about the rise of a gang in the suburbs. Its unreal. Residents feel like they feel like living in a third World Country at this point. Going block by Block And Apartment complex by Apartment Complex and have people posted all around different properties up and down different blocks. They are watching, communicating. This is no less than a complete gang takeover. Sandra i spoke to many people on the ground frustrated with what is happening there. One of these alleged gang Members Cookie Monster is accused of numerous assaults including the beating of a man at an apartment come flex the gang took over and accused of a shooting there. This gang has been linked to several violent crimes committed right here in the united states. You will remember the suspect accused of murdering Georgia Nursing Student riley is also linked to that gang as well as the suspect arrested in the shooting of two nypd officers back in june. Reportedly this gang has green lighted its members there in denver that cops are fair game. Attack them when they pursue you. This is getting ugly, jason. That is because you have sanctuary cities, Sanctuary States and counties that will not enforce law and cooperate with the federal government. Ice. Think about it. You have Kamala Harris who wants to rethink and get rid of ice. Thats the type of attitude from the top down that they have taken in this position and look, im very friendly with governor put he is wrong. It is an embarrass nullity. Denver and aaurora is a place to visit at this point in time. You have a criminal element that they will not take down. And when they do have them, they wont cooperate with the feds to get these people deported and out of there. Why should the people have to live in fear . Thats what they are supporting and doing saying it is okay to commit these crimes because we arent going to turn you over to the feds so there are consequences that will ultimately lead to the expulsion from this country. Sandra massive looting. Stores, target has been targeted. Jewelry heists. You call local Business Leaders on the ground terrified whats going on and they wont even speak on the record because they dont want to be targeted. Well keep reporting on that. House republicans are investigating whether the Bidenharris Administration pressured an international group to get rid of Age Limit Guidelines for transgender surgeries. A New York times report in june said Assistant Secretary Levine urged the group to end age limit recommendations. In a letter to Hhs Secretary the chairwoman wrote this. Were concerned that Hhs Official Eaves acting in their official capacity inappropriately applied pressure for changes to International Pediatric Medical Standards before the reported Pressure Campaign the group had set age limit for various treatments and surgeries. When its 2022 report came out there were no Age Minimums included, jason. Your reaction. This is absolutely disgusting. Fortunately congresswoman mcclain does amazing work in the congress. I am so impressed with her. Why is it that the u. S. Government is pressuring evidently, this international body to get rid of Age Limits . Are you kidding me . You will have no Age Limits on vasectomies and other medical procedures . That will be the recommendation . Why is it that Rachel Levine or whatever her name is, why are they pushing these international bodies . You know what . The u. S. Controls a lot of money and so when they make this recommendation, oh, do they use that money as leverage . Seems like that person is also very conflicted in their own personal life in making this position. Lets unearth it. Let the american people see it. Why get rid of the Age Limits, democrats . Sandra thats at the core of the problem. Jason, thank you very much for joining us on all of that. Appreciate it. Thank you. Sandra more backlash after an admission. Zuckerberg said the White House pressured him to censor Covid Content after years of silence. Critics warning of a dangerous precedent. Plus another 180 from Vice President harris. This time she is reversing on an e. V. Mandate. Is she just telling the american people this because she knows how much it has damaged our state . As soon as she is in office she would go back and say she will destroy the Automotive Industry . We Cant Trust her and havent heard from her herself. This is a huge problem. Sandra her campaign is walking back her past positions on this. Push cans are not buying it. Steve hilton, Fox News Contributor, is in focus next.

Sandra The Am San Dream seems to be slipping away for many americans thanks to high prices and relentless inflation. 89 of people think its essential or important to own a home. But only 10 say doing so is easy or somewhat easy to achieve. Earlier this month former preside President Trump blamed Bade Inand Harris for it. We will make America Affordable again. Under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden The American Dream is dead. Policies decimated the middle class. Sandra Gerri Willis is in New York city. We talked a lot about this. Something people are talking about all over the country. All over the country and particularly with young americans. Look, burdened by persistent high prices and high Interest Rates more and more americans are saying that achieving The American Dream as owning a home, having a family and affording a comfortable retirement is becoming more and more difficult. According to a poll from the Wall Street Journal and national Opinion Research Center 96 of americans believe financial security is important or essential but only 9 believeist is easily attainable. Financial pressures are making it tougher to achieve goals not normally associated with the economy. Think about it like getting married and having children. While nearly 2 three of americans said marriage was essential or important to their american dream. Less than half said it was easy to achieve. That complicating longterm goals like saving for a comfortable retirement. Only 8 of us believe it is an easy goal to achieve now. A lot of this comes back to housing like you mentioned. Housing prices are up 47 since the start of the Decade And Interest rates have remained high. We heard a lot about how high rents are. One study showing that owning a home is still a whopping 47 more expensive than renting. Look, there is a Silver Lining in the Housing Market thats developing. There is a growing feeling that prices will stop their climb and remain flat over the next year according to realtors. Here is one good piece of news just like everything else getting more expensive, so are stocks. In fact, there is now a Record Number of 401k millionaires. That comfy retirement may not be so far out of reach as so many people think. Sandra. Sandra everything is more expensive and thats just it. Gerri, thank you very much. Democrats are helping china destroy and replace our Auto Industry from the Inside Out and well stop it. Democrats in this state and including Kamala Harris want to give them hundreds of millions of dollars to those same companies that have been undercutting michigan Auto Workers. Stop talking about what you are going to do and what are you going to do right now. Are you the Vice President. And what she has done. What she has done has been a disaster. Sandra republican Vice President ial nominee j. D. Vance tearing into Kamala Harris yesterday as her team wants to flip the script on her support for electric vehicles. There was a fact check ahead of Vances Speech saying he would undoubtedly lie about her positions. One part says quote claims Vice President harris wants to force every american to own an electric vehicle. Fact, Vice President harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate. But harriss words are coming back to haunt her. Watch this. Will everyone have to Driver Electric Cars . By my plan by 2045 we will have basically 0 emission vehicles only. 100 . 2045. Let me add one more thing. Also School Buses, part of my plan is that by 2030, we will have electric School Buses. Sandra v. P. Harris has the long Track Record in favor of an e. V. Mandate. She cosponsored a 0 Emissions Vehicle Act and supported a plan to have 100 of new Car Sales be e. V. S by the year 2035. Just this year the Bidenharris Administration invested 9 Hundred Million 900 Million in clean School Buses and gave 2 Billion to Auto Workers to make facilities electric. Steve hilton. All that money spent and what happened . Reports started emerging Bus Drivers saying these things dont work. We cant get to where we need to go. What do you think of all of this, steve . The whole thing is such a joke. Sometimes i think now it is getting so ridiculous, this lying from the Harris Campaign theyre trolling us. They know it is so ludicrous. This latest statement is such a massive lie. A lie on three levels. First of all, she has actually already introduced an e. V. Mandate. The Bidenharris Administration has she loves to call it when it suits her. They claim it is not a mandate because it is not mandating what you buy, it only mandates what can be sold. As if there is a difference between those two things. Sure, if no one ever buys a new car again theyre right. It is ludicrous. Secondly her past statements. Exactly as you played. She has been for an e. V. Mandate for banning Gas Cars for years. Frankly, until she comes out and says directly that she has changed her position and why she has changed her position i dont think we should accept it at all. As far as today, Kamala Harris wants to take away your Car And Truck and your Gas Stove and yes your health insurance, too. She has never publicly said she is against those things and finely a lie. Another thing she said is that california, my home state, is a Role Model for what can be done around the country. And here Governor Newsom brags about the fact he wants to end Gas Cars and calls it a model for the nation and leading the nation. Yeah, leading us off a cliff. Thats what Kamala Harris says is a Role Model. Sandra leading a lot of folks into a more unaffordable atmosphere already dealing with Sky High inflation and you have to consider the cost of these vehicles, steve, right . Vice president harriss economic plan. Weve talked about it. It made a big slash when she announced it a couple fridays ago. Lots of headlines with the proposed Price Controls. Now her democratic allies are saying dont worry, it will never pass congress. Rich lowrys Opinion Piece says it proves how little she cares. He says what were being told was a way to convince people how much harris cares about fighting inflation. Really shows how little she cares about what she says and what she proposes. Her allies are making whats ultimately a defense. Dont mind her, she is just trying to say things that sound good. To that point, steve, i thought the same thing. You know what . We know. We have studied history. Weve seen what happens when Price Controls are implemented. It is not good. Empty store shelves, black markets and beyond. If you are somebody out there dealing with Sky High prices unrelenting high prices, it could sound good to folks until she rolled it out and people told them what it ultimately could mean. Exactly. The whole thing is so cynical. She thinks that she can get away with this. Weve still got a few weeks in in campaign before people start voting because we have this ridiculous endless election season. There is still time for what happened last time to happen to her. Kamala harris always falls apart on policy. She shows total cluelessness On Domestic and Foreign Policy every time she is under pressure. The real question will be in the weeks that we have remaining in this campaign will she be actually put under pressure so that her positions fall apart, just like they did the last time she ran for president . Now, we have to have first interview coming up. Lets see if that happens. If she is actually challenged on these policy positions. When she is in the past she has always fallen apart. Sandra i check every day. The website. No policies laid out for american voters to decide whether or not its the right thing for them perhaps theyre still deciding what exactly those are and where she has been in the past. Were learning a current Campaign Advisor to her was pushing facebook to suppress covid information. It comes after Mark Zuckerberg said the White House did pressure them to censor covid information. In 201 white House Director of digital director said asking them to remove covid info. Can we have Agencies Access to targeting parameters they normally wouldnt be able to . A new York Post Opinion Piece thought it could censor covid satire on facebook. That is funny. Attorney Jonathan Turley with this. The alliance were seeing here, the sophistication of this alliance, the scope of it, we have never encountered before. Because of companies like facebook. By the way, when zuckerberg said im really sorry about being silent, he wasnt silent. Facebook had a commercial campaign that went on for years where he tried to sell young people on embracing censorship. This is such an unprecedented antifree speech movement. Sandra when you think about the impact that had, is it too little too late, steve . Of course it is. But at least it is finally emerging in a way that everyone can see. By the way, this is yet another example where we hear at Fox News were telling the truth all along about this and everyone was saying it is false and fake news and all the rest of it. We had it right. Everyone else denied it and now we turned out to be right all along. This Censorship Industrial Complex as it has been called. Michael shellenberger has done great work exposing it. So destructive to everything we value as americans. By the way, they werent even ashamed of it. Jen Psaki Bragging they were flagging specific posts and telling the tech companies to take them down. The Stanford University Internet Observatory that was part of this bragged about silencing and censoring 66 narratives about covid that the government disapproved of. One of them they suppressed was People Questioning Whether Big Pharma Was Making Money from the covid vaccine. It is completely outrageous and a dark time in our history. Unless we really focus on it, it will happen all over again because you see it is happening now in europe where they are trying to criminalize speech that the government disagrees with. Dont think Democrats Wouldnt do that here if they could. Sandra at least the american public is learning it now. Thank you very much for joining us. Glad to have you on. All right. At least ten people were killed as israel begins to go onto the offensive in the West Bank. The u. S. Is pushing resources to the region in hopes of deterring iran and preventing a wider war.

These are my brothers, my sisters, the people we fought beside one of the hallmarks of Military Service is the only people behind it that sticks with me. I know that every veteran who raised their right hand and swore to support and defend our constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We have things that we carry inside of us, what tunnel to towers is doing with this village is helping veterans that have Mental Health issues needs. We have veterans that suffer every day. And so to have this facility to service our veterans that are in so need it just the pride is just exploding. We want to make sure that when our veterans are Coming Home, that theyre Coming Home to something that actually feels personalized and homey for them. Thats a home. Thats a home with dignity and walls and air conditioning. Its beautiful. I was able to walk through one of the Comfort Homes today. That moved my heart. Im just telling you it did when i walked in.

Sandra a greek Flagship Ship is still an fire. About 18 u. S. Warships including two Aircraft Carriers are positioned in and around the Middle East in an effort to prevent a wider war in the region. Israel is on the offense in the West Bank. The idf drove into palestinian controlled areas overnight. Trey yengst is reporting on this at this hour in southern israel. Whats the latest from there, trey . Sandra, good morning. Everynight the israeli military launched a large Scale Raid into the West Bank. Targeting two cities going after militant cells there. Local officials say around ten palestinians are killed so far in the operation that continues at this hour. Video shows troops driving into palestinian controlled area after israel conducted a Drone Strike in a City Killing A Hamas militant released as part of the November Ceasefire deal. Growing concern that iran is funding and training cells in the West Bank that could launch Suicide Attacks against israel as the conflict develops on the ground. It comes as were learning more about the condition of the bedouin hostage who was rescued yesterday from gaza by the israeli special forces. Video released overnight shows the 52yearold man being loaded into an israeli helicopter before being transported to the hospital. Doctors say he went home today and reunited with his family. During his release he received a Phone Call from israeli prime Minister Netanyahu welcoming him home. In gazaisrael continues in the central part of the strip. Civilians are moving into a rapidly shrinking humanitarian zone. Medical facility in gaza are overworked and overwhelmed. Working groups continue conversations in qatar aiming to get a Ceasefire Agreement in the coming weeks. A difficult battle ahead. Sandra trey, thank you. Meanwhile special Counsel Jack Smith indicted President Trump is an election case. The four charges are unchanged. The language is different after the supreme Courts Decision on president ial immunity. Back in july the High Court Granteded Trump broad immunity for official acts. Fox News Contributor Jonathan Turley likened the new indictment to what Shrink Inflation is. Its close to the election and there will be a lot more legal wrangling. People are getting frustrated with lawfare. It seems like a direct attempt to interfere with election. So ironic in a case alleging Donald Trump did is same thing. The new writing in the indictment is tighter, cleaner and more streamlined. Jack smith adding no new charges or taking away any charges but he did change the description of something like coconspirator. It is no longer considered a Government Official because of that Supreme Court ruling. Focusing more on Donald Trump as a candidate versus as a President Of The United States since the Supreme Court issued that Immunity Ruling about Donald Trumps official acts as president. Also want to point out to those watching and listening now that a brandnew Grand Jury heard evidence and decided to indict Donald Trump again in this case. We know that the four charges consist of Conspiracy To Defraud the united states. Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official Proceeding And Conspiracy against rights. Whats different is this indictment, as i said, focuses on his unofficial role when he was on the campaign trail. Think of Donald Trumps tweets and speeches to supporters leading up to the election and after the election. Trump writing on Social Media in an effort to resurrect a dead witch hunt, the illegally appointed Special Counsel brought a new indictment against me which has all the problems of the old indictment. The two teams will hatch out recent arguments in front of a judge a week from tomorrow in washington, d. C. Trump is not expected to attend. Well see where they go from here. Both sides admit it will be very, very unlikely to see anything happen as far as a trial is concerned before the election just a couple of months away. Sandra well watch all of that. Thank you.

Sandra Vice President harris announcing she will give her first interview as candidate Tomorrow Night. The Sit Down will mark 39 days since the launch of her campaign. Harris will not be alone. She is bringing along her v. P. Pick, Tim Walz. The Sit Down will also be taped and it will air later that night. Critics are calling all of this crutches. This isnt the vatican where the pope takes his time and decides whether to give you an audience. She is supposed to be out there every day. I think its incredibly weak. Weak sauce to show up with your Running Mate. They know Kamala Harris cant get through an interview by herself. A pretaped interview. Why isnt the interview live . Harris and walz are back on the trail with a Bus Tour through georgia. Mark meredith is in Salve Georgia on that. The Vice President she will be here trying to kick off an area of campaigning that democrats traditionally have not fared well. New york times poll taken this month of where the race stands in georgia among likely voters shows former President Trump ahead. By only about four points within the margin of error. Democrats won georgia four years ago by less than 12,000 votes. Harris campaign says it has opened up 24 Field Offices across the state adding 190 staffers on the ground but real questions whether or not harris truly has a shot in this state. Politico points out this morning a high risk, high Reward Strategy returning to the trail after the convention to visit a state many democrats feared was out of reach in recent months. Her campaign says it is ready to compete. In order to win a state like georgia and states across the country you have to make sure you are playing the field within the entire state and what well continue to do and proud of the infrastructure we put on the ground there. Former President Trump appears willing at this point to end his feud with the states popular republican governor kemp. He said he wanted to work with kemp despite remarks saying he was disloyal. Kemp is saying if republicans will have any shot at taking the White House they will have to win georgia. It cant be a tossup state. As you mentioned we know the Vice President putting her time in here. The Bus Tour tomorrow and a big rally Tomorrow Night here in savannah. Sandra critics are tearing into harris for weeks of avoiding The Press. A new headline. Hiding harris, 2024. Its a terrible Strategy And Danger for our democracy. Laura ingraham writes Kamala Harris pretend she is not biden playbook. Lays out three reasons why her advisors are keeping her away from The Press. One impossible to defend the Bidenharris Record and cant be trusted to be interviews and three, walz is not any better than harris. Our Power Panel joins us now. Doug schoen is here, former Clinton Advisor and cassie a former Deputy Commune indications director. Will she rise to the occasion in this interview . Not much she will have to rise to. You can predict what the questions will be. You memorize answers in advance. And so i think this is sort of a check the Boxes Interview so she can say oh, ive done an interview with cnn as a means of getting some of The Pressure off her back about hiding for the last month or so. So i think it is a low bar for her. I think it will be relatively easy for her to answer most of the questions. Sandra that would be assuming she will be challenged on the recent flipflops . Right. I think what doug outlined is the exact harris playbook. They have a friendly Media Outlet to execute it for them to have a very barely bump in the road of crack on the sidewalk tough interview quote, unquote to say she did it. She wont be pressed on any of these flipflops. She wont be pressed on just her positions she hasnt flipflopped on. She wont be pressed on any of the issues of her day the Bidenharris Administration, the Turmoil And Pain they have inflicted on many millions of americans. I dont think she will be asked about any of that. She are allowing her to continue with this narrative that she wasnt a part of any of that. Which i think voters are smarter than that. The one thing she has done unwittingly here is raised the bar slightly because it has taken her so long to do an interview. More people would tune in than otherwise would. I have agree with doug and you. I dont expect to get much new information out of it. Sandra hopefully raise the bar for the questions, too, right . The american public doesnt know where she stands on issues. National Review Editor and chief Rich Lowry says trump can win on character. Often the issues are proxies or character. Mr. Trump wont beat ms. Harris by Scoring Points in the debate over Price Controls or The Border. Everything has to be connected to the deeper case that ms. Harris is weak and a phony and doesnt truly care about the country or the middle class. The Scatter Shop Trump attacks on ms. Harris need to be refocused on the character attributes. Doug, if he does indeed focus his attacks on harris on character, will that work in his favor . You know, usually you have to do these sort of things in phases, sandra. I would advise that they begin on issues, begin on flipflops, on The Border, on energy, on the economy as your board just showed that you put up. And then say that they raise character issues about her and whether you can trust her. I think thats how you do these things. It has to be nuanced over the eight or nine weeks we have rather than just go to a Character Attack right away, especially since her rollout, because she hasnt been challenged, has been relatively good and successful. Sandra i guess thats why she stayed the course as long as she has. Bringing walz to the interview is an important move. I will get cassie to respond to that and also this. Headlines are also calling out the media for protecting her. Fox news the media, Fox News headline, the media is embracing a Kamala Harris Feminine Phenomenon all about the vibes. Kamalas fake media leverage addition. It says this isnt a celebrity we should be waiting to hear from. It is a candidate who is running for president and who should be scurrying in front of every camera she can find to defend her awful tenure in the White House. A tenure she says she would like to extend. You would think if she firmly believe in her policy she would be jumping in every camera she could. She will Sit Down in a friendly interview and also bring walz with her. Cassie, your thoughts. You think especially in such a short timeline she would want to get her positions out to as many voters as quickly as possible. Kamala harris is biden 2. 0. The biden Basement Strategy 2. 0 by not speaking directly to forties. The Biden Gaffe Machine 2. 0 which is why her camp is trying to keep her away from the cameras. When they do put her in front of a camry they bring Tim Walz with her. Like bringing a security blanket. It is Somebody Interviewing for the job of the President Of The United States and voters do need to see that and while The Press is trying to weight all of these things in her favor voters are asking these questions about this conversation were having her. With great respect to my copanelist here doug, we share the same strategy notes. I wish they would listen to you. I think it is smart and going back to your comments about President Trump i think that sandra appreciate both of you, doug and cassie, thank you very much for joining us. Good to have you. All right. A discussion so many are having right now. Well see. Thank you for joining us here and watching the Faulkner Focus. Im Sandra Smith in for harris. I will be back with John Roberts live at 1 00 eastern time for america reports. Outnumbered is after the break
