The esquire. [laughter] melissa i cant wait to get started. President trump set to speak of the nations largest gun rights group, where for Third Straight year he is the keynote speaker. These are part expected to go after the growing number of democrats seeking to take him on in 2020. Including former Vice President joe biden. Yesterday a former vp taking on the president in his announcement video, and earlierg the white house the president had this to say. I think we beat him easily. I feel like a young man. Im so young i cant believe it, of the youngest person i am a young, vibrant man. I look at joe, i dont know about him. I dont know. Hes too old i would never say anyone is too old, but they are making me look very young. In terms of age and in terms of energy. [laughter] melissa theres a lot of smiling there. A short time ago on abcs the view, former Vice President biden responded. If he looks young and vibrant compared to me, i should probably go home. [laughter] look, Everybody Knows who donald trump is. The best way to judge me is to watch. See if i have the energy and the capacity. Thats the first time ive ever been referenced that way by anyone else. Usually its at the other end. Hyper joe. Melissa hyper joe, sleepy joe, you decide theres another reason he has biden in his sights. Politico reporting he sees the former vp as his biggest threat and has privately shared concerns with his advisors that biden could beat him. What do you think . I was waiting for another sound bite, obviously there wasnt one. Go ahead. I will cue you instead. Im just so excited. Go ahead. [laughter] guy if you look at the basic math, the case for joe biden would be this it still hypothetical, obviously. If you are the democratic nominee i think he would argue he would lock down virtually every single hillary voter, and then could make some inroads and some of the midwestern states. Bluecollar workers that helped put trump over the top in 2016 in the way that Hillary Clinton could not. Melissa what do you think . Jessica i agree with guy. If you look at the map, that makes sense. If you look at how things are polling, with trump and biden, biden consistently beats him. As does Bernie Sanders and a lot of these. We have to be mindful of that. But you are right about getting the coalition. You have to look at two things Union Support and also africanamerican support. If you look at the endorsements he wrapped up yesterday, which is just the beginning of this, you see a lot of very prominent figures in the Africanamerican Community including the head of the cdc, the congressional black caucus. He could win south carolina, which is very big deal. Kamala harris is spending a lot of time there trying to make up ground. Melissa i want to remind everyone whats on the screen here. This is indianapolis, and this is the nra annual meeting. We are expecting President Trump to come out and address the audience. A lot of pundits have said this is a very important speech right now, because he is addressing a crowd that he needs to hold onto. That some think it made the critical difference in the last election. We want to monitor what hes saying. Hes obviously going to react to a lot of the news of the day. We will go to that as soon as he walks out, you will see me looking over to the screen to see if hes coming. Dont worry, we are on top of that. We continue this discussion now. One of the things, lisa, that people are saying about joe biden in this matchup and how close it could be is that hes one of those candidates that has a lot of promise until he gets out there. What seemed like a stumble out of the gate, it feels like, with the change of when he was going to come out and talk. Even that answer just now about his energy, you know, he sounded almost sleepy when he was responding. If thats what youre going to say about me, i should go home. Maybe. Lisa go home, then. Hes a terrible candidate. This is what ive been saying and what i believe. Hes also someone who has been completely untested. Two failed president ial bids under his belt. Hasnt had a tough senate race since his first one in 1972. I said earlier, with the report that he will be largely relying on megadonors as opposed to those smalldeli donors, that demonstrates the fact that he doesnt have those dominic especially when theres going to be that many candidates in the race. I do for q end up being the nominee. I think it is someone wanted Bernie Sanders. That excitement, that has that grassroots support. I think he will end up being a dud just like jeb bush was. Melissa its interest, those candidates that make so much sense on paper. You are like, he can take back the centrist republicans that went to trump. He has the obama machine behind him, may be. Thats debatable but at least you have the memory of that for those democrat voters. But then when everybody hits the field, its about the passion. And people connect with people, or they dont. Never would have predicted the bernie phenom. I wouldnt have predicted the trump phenom. They get out there and people have momentum. How do you think does not speak about biden, or who else in the field do you see on the democratic side that has that kind of passion bynum . Kennedy its interesting, because i know Bernie Sanders and his people were very insulted when mayor pete compared donald trump and Bernie Sanders. But what they did tap into was not only sort of the populist offset in many parts of the country that felt like they have been left out of identity politics. Establishment ways. They also have a deep political intuition. They go so much on feeling, and both men are also tethered to a very specific ideology. Joe biden doesnt necessarily have that. He does define himself as an obamabiden democrat, and that means something for democrats who long to take back the white house. But the obamabiden economy wasnt as good as the trump economy is. I think that is the biggest thing he has melissa you bring up bidenobama. He was asked again this is one of the clumsy things out of the gate. He said, well, i asked president obama not to endorse me. Kennedy sure, i dont want that advantage [laughter] melissa he was asked about it again on view a short time ago. Heres how he answered it the second time. I didnt want it to look like hes putting his thumb on the scale. That im going to do this based on who i am, not by the president going out and trying to say, this is the guy you should be with. Lisa raise your hand if you believe it. I dont take a certain person on the couch believes that he didnt want the endorsement. I think you have to think about it this way what you have to do is there voters out in a crowded primary field. You need enough enthusiasm that your vote will be split enough dogma with democrats on the stage. I think Bernie Sanders is the person who has that kind of grassroots excitement, that has that enthusiasm with his base that is going to turn people out. I think bidens vote share could easily go to other people. Melissa jessica, let me ask you do you think he also turned down oprah for the endorsement question work and santa claus . [laughter] lisa and the easter bunny. Jessica theres a lot more to the story. The obamas have been clear for months if they want to endorse early in the primary or in the primary at all. Guy dont pretend they dont want it. Jessica it did backfire last time. Thats the most important narrative. They are acutely aware, after the 2016 race because of what the Bernie Sanders camp was talking about and a lot of centrist democrats as well that it was rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton with the way the superdelegates worked and the backing of the dnc. No democrat wants to be seen as having things rigged right out of the gate. To the enthusiasm question there, Bernie Sanders of course he has enthusiastic supporters. Am i the only one who saw him at the she the people some of this week . They asked him a simple question but what he was going to do to help people of color and handed up talking about marching with mlk and got booed. From an african make an audience. Kennedy thats a really good point. I think that speaks to a lot of these politicians i dont know what they are relying on. But its not the truth. When you go to a group of people who have put themselves in this collective in order to have a unified voice, you better speak to them honestly and not pander to them. And not use these moldy lines. He may have had great intentions in the 60s, and that may have been a beautiful moment for him, but thats not enough right now. Lisa its been a wild. Kennedy joe biden at this conference would have done even worse. They booed beto orourke as wel well. Jessica people have already tweeted about the 1994 crime bill paid a lot of black democrats voted for that crime bill. Bill clinton was known as the first black president before we actually had a black president. Kennedy we are in a very different place than we were. Jessica than if you are right coat kennedy people are going to look at this field than his record and they will compare him next to other i mean, Kamala Harris has the same issues on criminal justice. But the facts of his legislative record will absolutely hurt him. Melissa i want to get guy back in. Guy on the endorsement piece, thickets preposterous to suggest that he doesnt desperately want the endorsement of rock and Michelle Obama paid obviously. To pretend that he asked not to be endorsed jessica im trying to contextualize this amongst democrats. Guy thats a spin that i dont think washes. We probably agree on that. Jessica i wasnt trying to spin it guy im saying biden is spinning it, you are not spending it. Heres the thing about melissa jessica always feel safe when im here [laughter] guy before he declared joe biden a dud, lets see how he performs as a candidate. I will say some of the early signs would make me nervous if i was a biden supported. For example, some of the behindthescenes turmoil that we learned today that he made, of course, charlottesville huge centerpiece of his launch video. He referenced the young woman tragically killed. Her mother came out publicly and said that the biden camp didnt even get in touch with her before they invoked her memory in this political context. To me that is malpractice. Thats a very big misstep on day one from team and by then. Its a marathon. I think weve got a long way to go. He has a lot of support, lots of other endorsements. But that was not a good sign, i would say. Melissa good discussion. Everyone is safe. Its all good pay [laughter] we are waiting, as we mentioned, for the present to come out at the nra annual meeting. We expect them to say a lot of things about the news of the day. We will keep an eye on that and bring it to you just as soon as it happens. In the meantime, brandnew numbers out today showing Economic Growth exceeding expectations. It is glorious. Many analysts predicted a slow down, but not so much. Whether the continued growth will be a big boost for President Trump in 2020. Plus, new scrutiny over Text Messages between former fbi officials peter strzok and lisa page. Why Top Republican senators are calling it more evidence of a irregular conduct during the early stages of the russia probe. We will debate it all next. So you see now they are trying to infiltrate the white house. This is long after the election. Its a disgrace. Again, hopefully the attorney general will do whats right and i really believe he will. Ok everyone our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy whoohoo greattasting ensure. With nine grams of protein and twentysix vitamins and minerals. Ensure, for strength and energy. And twentysix vitamins and minerals. Shaving has been difficult for me. I have very sensitive skin, and i get ingrowing hairs. So its a daunting task. Oh i love it. Its a great razor. It has that fence in the middle. It gives a nice smooth shave. Just stopping that irritation. That burn that i get is really life changing. Melissa okay, right now we are going to take you to indianapolis, where you can see President Trump right there taking to the stage. This is the annual meeting of the National Rifle association, and the president here expected to most likely touch on a lot of topics and a lot of news of what is going on. Some Interesting Articles this morning talking about how this is the key demographic yes to hang onto it in the next election. So his speech may be geared in that direction. Guy, what are you looking for . Guy this is the president s favorite situation to begin. This is his favorite type of venue. Big crowd, adoring fans. We saw him last night on hannity playing president pundit, which he likes doing. Its highly entertaining and a lot of ways. Well probably see jabs and jokes and oneliners in the car deleted it. He might go on for quite some time. Kennedy whats interesting is he was expanding upon some of the candidates in the race now. It reminds me of 2016 when hilary and his team were praying for donald trump to be the republican nominee because they thought he was so beatable. Guy oops. Big mistake. [laughter] jessica itll be interesting to see how much he talks about Second Amendment rights in that issue. We know that the house passed a background checks bill as a big win for democrats in february, that they did that. Im interested to see if he touches on that at all or if he uses this really is a Campaign Speech because he wants to talk about joe biden and Bernie Sanders and those issues at play. Melissa he does both. Lisa it looks like hate i would say the authenticity aspect since you mentioned Hillary Clinton, that was her achilles heel in 2016. A word of caution. For the democratic contender. Authenticity will be an asset. Melissa thats a great point to end on parade listen in. [cheers and applause] President Trump well, i want to thank chris and wayne. Im thrilled to be here in indiana with the men and women of the nra. You are Great American patriots. [cheers and applause] chris cox, wayne lapierre, oliver north.

[cheers and applause] there are some people running right now, i dont think they have that number one on their list. We believe the children should be taught to love our country, honor our history, and always respect our Great American flag. [cheers and applause] and we believe in the right to selfdefense and the right to protect your family, your community, and your loved ones. We believe in the wisdom of our founders. And we believe in the freedom and liberty and the right to keep and bear arms. [cheers and applause] we know that faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, at the center of american life. Above all else, we know this in america we dont worship government. We worship god. [cheers and applause] [prolonged applause] every day of my administration, we are taking power out of washington, d. C. , and returning it to the American People where it belongs. [applause] you see it now, better than eve ever. With all of the resignations of bad apples. They are bad apples. They tried for a coup, didnt work out so well. [boos] [applause] and i didnt need a gun for that one, did i . [laughter] all was taking place at the highest levels in washington, d. C. Youve been watching, youve been seeing. Youve been looking at things that you wouldnt have believed possible in our country. Corruption at the highest level. A disgrace. Spying, surveillance. Trying for an overthrow. And we caught them. We caught them. [cheers and applause] who would have thought in our country . But its called what we altogether have done it started two and a half years ag ago. On that great november 8th. That was a great day. Remember that day . [cheers and applause] a great day. And in a year and a half, we have one called november 3rd. November 3rd this time. Get ready to vote youd better. You better get ready to vote. But its all called draining the swamp, and we are doing it faster than anyone ever thought possible. Im very proud of it. [cheers and applause] and around the world, america is respected again. Because we are finally putting america first. Its been a long time. [cheers and applause] our economy is now the hottest anywhere on the planet earth. Just this morning we learned that the gdp smashed expectations with the economy growing at an annual rate of 3. 2 in the first quarter. The first quarter, for whatever reason. 3. 2. [applause] if we kept the same Interest Rates and the same quantitative easing that the Previous Administration had, that 3. 2 would have been much higher than that. But they hadnt hit these numbers in 16 years. We had a tremendous increase in inventory investment. You know what that means . And listen to this a very great increase in net exports. Isnt that about time . Isnt that nice . [applause] weve added almost 6 million jobs since my election. If i would have said that during the campaign, all of those people back there we called them the fake news they wouldnt have believed it. They are fake. [boos] they are fake. Bluecollar jobs recently grew at the fastest rate in more than three decades. Nearly 5 million americans have been lifted off of food stamps since our election. [cheers and applause] wages are rising fast. And the lowestpaid workers are making the biggest percentage gains of all, and thats nice to hear. Its about time. [cheers and applause] unemployment recently achieved its lowest rate in 51 years, and very shortly it should be its lowest rate in the history of our country. [cheers and applause] african american, asian american, hispanicamerican, i have reached the lowest levels of unemployment in our history. [cheers and applause] americas future has never been brighter, and yet democrats have never been angrier. Especially now that their collusion delusion has been exposed to the world as a complete and total fraud. [cheers and applause] its been the greatest political hoax ever in our country. Instead of working with us to rebuild our infrastructure, lower drug prices which, by the way, this year for the first time in 50 years, drug prices went down. [applause] they are going to go down a lot lower. And instead of working with us to fix our trade deals which i am doing without them and continue creating millions and millions of new jobs, which we are doing at a level that people have not seen before. That people dont even believe. Democrats are obsessed with hoaxes, delusions, and witch hunts. Thats what they are obsessed with. Thats what they want to do. We can play the game just as well or better than they do. [applause] farleft radicals in Congress Want to take away your voice, your jobs, your rights, and they especially want to take away your guns. You know that. They want to take away your guns. You better get out there and vote. You better get out there and vote. It seems like its a long ways away its not. I was saying two millennia, our great first lady whose birthday it is today. Happy birthday, melania. [cheers and applause] i remember standing, two and a half years ago, in the same hallway where Abraham Lincoln and so many others have stood. My first night in the white house. And i said to melania, this is incredible. And four years seem so long away. And now here we are. We are getting ready to start up the campaign again. Start up the campaign again. [applause] i never want to do anything with maga. Make America Great again has been great, but weve made it great. We brought it back. We are thinking about a slogan. Keep America Great. Because you have socialists and farleft democrats that want to destroy everything that weve done. Your 401 k s are going through the roof, your stock markets sinks the election since the election has hit a record high. Almost a hundred different records, ive broken. Record high. But everyone is like a genius now. They buy stock and they are all up. Everyone is benefiting and jobs are benefiting. It could all be taken away when you put the wrong people in office. We cut regulations more than any president in the history of our country. And thats in two years. In two years we did more to regulation. Think of that. Than any president in the history of our country. Thats one of the reasons our jobs are booming, one of the reason the economy is booming. We give you the largest tax cut in the history of our country. The biggest ever. And we got an warrant approved, and we got the individual mandate. The absolute worst part of obamacare, eliminated. Now we are going for the rest. And we had it done except for one vote. You know what im talking about. In recent days, leading democrats have proposed banning new guns and confiscating existing guns from lawabiding citizens. What they dont tell you is that the bad guys arent giving up their guns. And you are not going to be giving up your guns, either. [cheers and applause] at the same time, House Democrats recently voted against notifying ice. These brave, great, talented, brilliant patriots. When an illegal alien attempts to buy a gun, which is a felony. Democrats also support sanctuary cities that released thousands of dangerous criminal aliens onto our streets. In fact, they like the criminal aliens and aliens so much that when we are forced to release them into our country, because of the horrible immigration laws that the democrats refuse to give us the votes we need some of the votes to change. We give them as many as they can handle. [cheers and applause] and they are not too happy about it, folks. They are not too happy. They said, who came up with that idea . They said, only trump could come up with that idea. We give them as many as they can handle. In other words, democrats want to disarm lawabiding americans while allowing criminal aliens to operate with impunity. But that will never happen as long as im your president. Not even close. [cheers and applause] i promise to defend the Second Amendment rights of every american, and i always will. Ill never let you down. [applause] never let you down. I havent so far, and i wont. Because, as the famous saying goes, when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Very simple. [applause] the democrats are also working hard to block the wall, but we are building the wall. They are not happy about it. And we will have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year. [cheers and applause] building a lot of wall. I want to think border patrol, our great military. I want to thank the army corps of engineers. Theyve been incredible. And we are doing something that i could do very quickly, and we are doing it very quickly. But dealing with these people is very, very difficult, if you havent noticed. Okay . Any politician would have given up a long time ago. So we will have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year. Its going up rapidly. Rapidly. [cheers and applause] we are also renovating tremendous stretches of wall. We have wall that is in bad shape. But its structurally sound. Rather than building new, we renovated. We make it as good as new. Saving a lot of money, and regained a lot of territory. So we have a lot of great things going. A lot of great things going. [applause] most importantly, democrats must change our immigration laws right now. Right now. We can do it i used to say 4n 15 minutes. Very simple. You know the programs. They are horrible. The asylum. Where rough, tough, ms13 gang members come in. You dont want to meet with these people, but ice doesnt mind. Because ice is throwing them out of our country by the thousands. And the democrats want to eliminate ice. Can you believe that . Boy, oh, boy,. But its incredible what theyve done. Its incredible what weve done. But they stand there in asylum, and they read a statement. I am afraid for my life. I am afraid to go back to my country. I want to be an american and you look and you see a toughness that you dont see. And you just see what happens with the mayor of tijuana and others. They say, these people, we try and help them and they start hitting us. They start punching us. We dont want them in our country, and they are not getting into our country. When they have in the past, a lot of them have. We are throwing them the hell out. Melissa this is President Trump speaking in indianapolis to the National RifleAssociations Annual meeting, hitting on a lot of the topics of the day. He did a long riff on the economy, which is kind of funny because he was talking about sports. Gdp, quantitative easing, how will the economy is going. He moved onto the political contenders for 2020, and he was talking about both what happened with the mueller investigation, the outcome of that, and what he called dirty tricks preeti said, we can play this game just as good as anyone. He also said the democrats want to take away guns from lawabiding people. But yet they will allow immigrants to come into the country jessica with impunity. Thats exactly what he said. [laughter] melissa what jumped out at you . Guy i hit trump bango within the first 5 minutes in this speech i think it was smart. We were kind of laughing a little bit on the couch because of his discussions of some of these specific statistics on the economy. Melissa which were dead on. He was right about that. Guy im thrilled. This is something they should be talking about every chance they get. Of course he will talk about no collusion, of course he will talk about immigration. To this crowd, on the Second Amendment. But the gdp number today is a huge beat. Its a really good number for the u. S. Economy. For them to focus and then drill down into why the number is so good, i think that melissa no one cheered, thats whats funny. They cheered all the stuff that President Trump normally does that gets the crowd going, but when he talks about what is arguably the biggest achievement and the timeliness thing, when you say net exports we cheered because we are economic people. Jessica dont x to three there are two Different Things going on as you have the economy in the readme issues like immigration. The attempted coup, this witch hunt that he describes. You have to get the base excited and get them to turn out, which is what this speech is. But what ultimately will win the election if he wins again in 2020 is the economy. Thats the motivating factor, for people to support him and not wanting to the ballot box. If the economy is not good, whoever the democrat nominee, a better argument for them to make for that there needs to be a good direction of the country. Kennedy that is the best case against socialism. Socialism and that patch really only works in an economic downturn. Jessica . Jessica i largely agree with what you all said pay [laughter] he also mentioned health care, that he remove the worst part of obamacare with the individual mandate. And then hes coming for the rest. There were survivors saying, but please dont keep going, stay away from health care because that was the defining issue in 2018 for democrats and they will run again. We will talk about the economy similar, but the messaging democrats have stew around the economy is a tightrope act. You have to be careful posttaxis and how you phrase these things. Melissa Everybody Wins on health care because theyre coming in. And they say, im broken, im going to fix it then they dont fix it in the next group wins. That would be wonderful to see. Just one day into the race and past controversies are already haunting joe biden. Why anita hill says his apology was not nearly enough for the way she was treated in the 1991 Clarence ThomasSupreme Court hearing. That Vice President biden oversaw. And how couldth this hurt his campaign . So simple, so good. Get the recipes at walnuts. Org. Hey, who are you . Oh, hey jeff, im a car thief.

In terms of i never heard her say if you go back and look what i said and didnt say, i dont think i treated her badly. Lisa thats former Vice President joe biden on the view this morning addressing criticisms over his handling of the 1991 confirmation hearing for Supreme CourtSupreme Court justice Clarence Thomas. And the highlycontroversial testimony of anita hill. Biden chaired the Senate Judiciary committee at the time, and his Campaign Says that he called mrs. Hill earlier this month to express regret for what she endured when she testified before his committee, alleging Sexual Harassment by thomas. Hell says they botched the question, which discouraged other women from coming forward. Why wasnt joe biden more prepared for that question . Guy thats a very good question. Taking a step back briefly, anita hill, every other woman who testified backed up clearance clearance times of the time. They supported him and believed in. The fbi agents who work involves said that she lied to them. I think thats important for the record. When it comes to relitigating all of this, decades later, whether you think he should be apologizing to her or to him or to whoever else, you have to be ready for this question. Its obviously coming. Youre going on speech the view, you know do not have an answer lockdown is another red flag we are seeing very early in this campaign prayed that some floundering there. Kennedy why didnt he call her 15 years ago . Why did he call just a few weeks ago . Thats no different than Michael Cohen reaching out to karen mcdougall. Im sorry, this is for political convenience. I dont blame her for being offended. I would be deeply offended if i were being used as a political pawn in order to give him some coverage and comfort room right before he announces that hes running for president. Its offensive. Lisa how big of a problem is this for biden . Jessica we talked about this issue on the couch a few weeks ago, when lucy flores first came out. Remember, i said, i think anita hill will be bigger than any claims of hair sniffing. They think of him as a predator. I believe that his response would certainly not be satisfying for a number of us or for anita hill. I think it will continue to come up. I dont think it sinks him in any way. Melissa disingenuous. Thats what hurts candidates these days. Lisa boom. We will end on that. The trip economy is booming. I didnt plan that pay [laughter] new numbers out today, the gross smashing expectations. So how much of a leg up it will this give the president heading into 2020 . We will get into it. Stay with us. Our economy is now the hottest anywhere on the planet earth. Just this morning we learned that the gdp smashed expectations with the economy growing at an annual rate of 3. 2 in the first quarter. Kennedy he had to read that report with oven mitts, its so hot touting the economy and indie apples today great city. New gdp numbers just out of the economy grew at a solid 3. 2 annual rate, in the first three months this year. Easily topping forecasts of 2. 5 . Is this enough for the president right now . Guy right now, yes. Its sustainable, thats still an open question. Its obviously very good news. I saw a republican operative treating just a few moments ago but now since the touch of her must implement it weve had five consecutive quarters averaging more than 3 gdp growth. Thats not a coincidence. Kennedy estimates were much lower. What does this say customer jessica it says that estimates were a lot lower and we over perform to them. And thats great, because i love america. Back to being a democrat, though pay [laughter] kennedy how do democrats capitalize on this . Jessica they capitalize on it by talking about building on the growth weve seen. That wouldve been a smart argument to be making if you were running in 2016, as well. Weve seen these gains under the obama economy, this is how i will improve them. I think there will be a lot of pivoting to health care, talking about the fact that the richest did a lot better in the tax cut than the middle and lower classes. As gary said in the last segment, the president should state in the county. Guy there were tax cuts outs though my the board, not just for the rich. Kennedy lets bring lisa, we are running out of time. Lisa is the economy is wrong to take some of the talking point and the emphasis of socialism. That hurts democrats. I go back to the politico piece talking about how trump would win in a landslide according to economic model is that the economy stays the way it is now. Speech of the question is, does the president have what it takes, and how much influence as the federal government have on Economic Growth . Jessica it was pointed out this morning that weve seen Economic Growth but the Approval Rating doesnt get a bump out of it. He stays steady. He did about three points right after the mueller report. I wonder why that is, if people are feeling it. Kennedy people may not like him, but they like money. We are living in a weird time, which is fantastic. Weve got more outnumbered in just a moment. Stay right here. Hello. [laughter] i had a few good tricks to help hide my bladder leak pad. Like the old tunic tug. But always discreet is less bulky. And it really protects. cause it turns liquid to gel. So i have nothing to hide. Always discreet. What do all these people have in common, limu . Oug [ paper rustling ] exactly, nothing. Theyre completely different people, thats why they need customized Car Insurance from liberty mutual. Theyll only pay for what they need [ gargling ] [ coins hitting the desk ] yes, and they could save a ton. Youve done it again, limu. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Kennedy thanks so much to the wonderful and imitable guy benson how was steady for you . Guy oh, my gosh, what a pleasure. Especially being on the couch with this crew, plus melissa. I will treasure this memory. We are going to d. C. To give an x, so the fun continues. Kennedy the fund will continue tonight. If youre in d. C. , hop on our party train. Whatever happens in the couch, we can all meet together later on. We live in the same apartment, as well. Its very odd. Thank you so much. We celebrate freedom always. Back here in eastern on monday. Now heres Melissa Francis in for harris faulkner. He won fox news alert, President Trump stepping up as jabs on joe biden as the former Vice President face a big hurdle from his past. Lets go outnumbered overtime, on Melissa Francis and for harris faulkner. Right now the president speaking at the annual Nra Convention as he is ramping up his attacks on the former Vice President. Earlier, before departing the white house, the president suggested biden doesnt have the stamina to meet the demands of the oval office. I feel like a young man.
