he was. >> brian: scrimmages. >> steve: the silver lining travis kelci still left with taylor swift. >> brian: showed up late. i should have texted you. >> ainsley: i would have watched. >> lawrence: and then the show takes a turn because of taylor swift. >> brian: how tall is she by the way? >> steve: she is tall. >> ainsley: like joe biden bringing in hillary clinton. he needs the women vote. >> steve: what a good transition. that's how you do it ladies and gentlemen. >> ainsley: thank you. i have learned from the best. >> steve: let's go ahead and talk about hillary clinton. you know, keep in mind, hillary clinton is being called in to help save joe biden. joe biden and hillary clinton don't like each other. she he will body him out of running for president in 2016. yet, you know, the biden people would love to have obama campaign for him right now. >> ainsley: of course. >> steve: he is not going to do it until the end. the runner-up is the lady right there, hillary clinton being called in. >> ainsley: so she has been asked to -- she held a fundraiser at her house in georgetown. i guess she still owns property there. they raised about a million dollars through the women's leadership forum. she sat on the columbia university panel. we saw that a few weeks ago. remember when that heckler was attacking her about biden's war mongering and she shut him down? then she published an op-ed in the atlantic and made the case for biden's stance with the israel-hamas war and she was on "the view" and she has been doing a lot of social media postings. >> brian: the thing about hillary clinton is like asking somebody who finished in last place year after year to go ahead and tell us the secret for winning 2016 she lost. she never admitted to it. she doesn't know how to win and doesn't know how to lose. and she still says over and over again donald trump is illegitimate president. what i give her credit on is standing strock for israel. she has been on the right side of this. not that he is going to benefit politically from that. but for joe biden it's got to be panic time. look at the latest polls head to head losing to nikki haley double digits got to be panic on the biden side. >> democratic strategist told nbc at the end of the day biden needs all the help that he can get. what he needs is both the spirit and the actual reality of unity. i just don't understand how she can be helpful. this is the basket of deplorables woman that demonized half of the country. so if you are trying to unify the country. get those independent voters, those people that said look, we like the tone of joe biden we may not like his policies. how is she person to galvanize those people? also, how is she going to get young voters as well? i don't see that happening. >> steve: she is reaching out. listen, as we started, the problem for the biden campaign is they want barack obama out there right now. obama won't do it. if you watched the rosalynn carter funeral a week or so ago. we saw michelle obama standing with the clintons. and and one of the things the clinton family with the work horse for the democratic party. bill clinton will do pretty much anything. they say the average democrat, a big shot, will say okay, you want me to help you, give me a list of 20 things and i will do two. the clintons will do 18 of the 20 things because they are reliable and ultimately they are party loyalists. they will do anything for the party including sticking up for that guy, joe. >> ainsley: matchup of biden vs. halely. donald trump is killing it in the republican party. if you look at that matchup if it were hillary clinton and joe biden she beats him by 17 points if my math is right there. that is astonishing. shows you the independents and some of the democratic women would vote for her. they like her policies. >> steve: she is a stronger general election candidate. >> brian: there is a strategy that biden is waiting to put in. that is that donald trump is a danger. the republicans are a party of chaos. look at the house. that donald trump, remember january 6th? they are going to bring that up over and over again. they are going to say he is dictator and hitler. they are playing their card # 1 months out is that card still going to be in play in july for the convention? >> ainsley: lawrence, if they bring in president obama at the tail end, how does that effect the black vote? for men that really like donald trump then they see obama saying vote for biden? >> lawrence: i don't think that power you can transfer that over. there was a great podcast in the "new york times" around thanksgiving with black voters around dining table. and it was more of a symbolic measure for black people of overcoming, that a black man could be president at the time. really not policy-wise. there is a bunch of support amongst obama's -- more of them achieving, crashing that glass ceiling. and there was a talk if -- could obama help joe biden out? and a lot of people said they didn't think so. >> brian: there is two other battleground states where trump is winning again. is he up in michigan. cnn poll. believe me, it pained him to say this. he is up in michigan by 10. and got about 5 points over in georgia where they are suing him right now. they want to put him in jail in georgia. >> lawrence: and he is surging, to your point, when you are talking about georgia, surging with black men. and a lot of black businesses are in georgia. they like brian kemp because of what he was able to do with the businesses as well. they like donald trump for the same reason. so,. >> brian: they like results in georgia. stacey abrams is very talented politician got trounced. >> lawrence: we will see what happens. it doesn't look like the democrats are gaining any type of steam, despite the attacks on the character of donald trump. >> steve: once upon a time mitt romney was the standard wearer for the republican party. he was on one of the sunday shows yesterday. he said, you know, i can't endorse anybody because that would be the kiss of death for any republican but he said he appreciated chris christie's performance at the last debate. he said nikki haley was the only person who had a chance at beating trump. it's a long shot, he said. >> brian: he is not happy with the biden policies. >> ainsley: and he doesn't like trump. >> lawrence: also like chris christie who ran for president before him who didn't win. >> brian: he is friendly with biden but i don't like any of his policies. still a republican even though swan song. >> ainsley: yes it is. six people are dead. dozens are injured after tornadoes tear through parts of tennessee. janice dean is tracking all those storms. >> brian: plus another official admits the lab leak theory is possible. this time it's biden's excovid adviser. will we ever get the truth about the origins of covid?

>> look, not only is it plausible that covid was started in wuhan probable it started in a lab. not like you have a gain of function research lab around every corner there is just a few of them around the world. the fact that this came out of wuhan, i mean, what was interesting about the whole thing to me is that the definite of how the government tried to suppress. congress is doing. we created the china select committee looking at all things china and i'm sure it's going to be recommendations for the china select committee future in the next year about how we should be treating and our relationship with china on any of this type of research. our relationship with the world health organization that apparently is with in bed with china trying to cover up what is really obvious to just about anybody. >> lawrence: have we gotten to the bottom of our financial involvement wuhan institute? it seems like that part of the story was suppressed as well. what was fauci's role? was he warned? how much is he sending over through his discretion? >> have we gotten to the bottom of it? no. we need to get to the bottom of what exactly that relationship was and why fauci was so defensive and why did he put his, you know, his finger on the narrative coming out of the u.s. government, especially, you know, the centers for disease control. where he actually actively tried to suppress differing points of view saying that, yeah, it was probable that that virus was actually manufactured in the wuhan lab. and, you know, we have the initial emails and then all of the sudden those emails kind of disappeared. what was his hand in it? why? and how much american money actually went to that lab and how much america was actually involved in what happened. i'm not saying that america actually released it or it leaked out of there. but, yeah. america may have been involved in the research that led to covid-19. >> lawrence: real quickly, congressman. this seems to be a potential bipartisan issue. your colleagues that are on the committee, do you find the same curiosity amongst them as well? actually, i do. that's one of the pleasant surprises that i have had in this congress is that the china select committee appears to be very bipartisan. we understand the threat that china poses to the united states. china wants to be the dominant, economic military power in the world by 2049. both democrats and republicans on that committee. we understand that. and the existential threat that china poses to us. and to our children. now, what are we going to do about it?

let's talk to senior meteorologist janice dean with a look at the day ahead. janice? >> janice: a devastating weekend for friends in tennessee and kentucky. multiple tornadoes have been listed for these areas and a couple of them proved deadly. some of that energy is what is giving us the potential for heavy rain along the coast and interior sections snow, heavy snow for parts of the northeast, new york, upstate new york in towards new england. there is some of the rainfall totals since yesterday. so, parts of connecticut over 5 inches, i think we will get upwards of 6 inches in some of these areas, especially along the coast where we have flood watches and warnings. 50 million under alert right now. the good news is it's a quick-mover it will be out of here by this afternoon. we are seeing snow totals. interior sections of new york. five inches, upwards of 6 to 8. winter weather advisories. and then this storm will be out of here by this afternoon. as you can see a quieter forecast for the start of the workweek. so we will take it. ainsley, over to you. >> ainsley: white christmas. i know we are a ways away. thank you so much, janice. turning to headlines. second person of interest in connection with to the murder of former detroit synagogue leader samantha wall. she was found stabbed to death outside of her house on october 21st. the suspect unidentified male seems to be a total stranger to her, according to the detroit free press. another person detained last month without charges. thousands of catholics will head to chicago for that area for their annual pilgrimage to the shine of our lady of guadeloupe. 400,000 worshiper also participate in the two day celebration. this comes just months after a woman was accused of breaking into the chapel and damaging the shrine after starting the fire top christmas song by state. lawrence's state in texas celebrates with feliz navidad. the christmas song chestnuts roasting by open fire is the favorite of my home state of south carolina. steve and brian's new york and new jersey they share the same song, all i want for christmas is you. that's the clear winner there the same survey puts that mariah carey classic as the most annoying christmas tune with the chipmunk song christmas don't be laid and feliz navidad rounding out the list. what is your favorite and least favorite christmas song. email us at friends@foxnews.com. >> brian: we were never allowed to play the chipmunk song. that's how annoying it was. it should be illegal. >> ainsley: not in my household. >> brian: my number one album is kenny gee because i don't like lyrics. >> such a scrooge. merry christmas, brian. >> brian: i'll see you soon. a busy week for hunter biden's legal team kicking off today as they plan to ask a delaware judge to drop his gun charges and a case carrying a maximum of 25 years of jail time. also, this week, we're expecting a preliminary hearing on those nine new tax charges filed just days ago. the first son is looking at a maximum of 42 years behind bars. fox news legal analyst kerri kupec urban joins us now. on the charges that came down last week. when do you think we are going to see him arraigned? i would think some time this week, i think done. possibility department of justice brings under far raft. the foreign registration act. for him potentially failing to file as a foreign agent when he was doing business on behalf of these businesses ukraine and china. of course doing business that very much touched a lot of what his father was doing? we're going to do this. hunter is a bad guy. noriega to do with the president. that brings us to the inquiry of james comer. they don't care about. hookers something he can do with his therapist. wrong not to pay taxes however, how it relates to joe. where is that investigation going? the fact is joe was meeting with business partners. has been at the restaurant. did call into these situations, was told by hunter biden my dad is sitting next to me and is he not happy and the bidens are always going to remember. this we have long memories to paraphrase where does comer go with this. >> that boils down what did joe know and what did he do with that? that's what comer has been trying to get at. there are white house logs and emails and evidence that shows how joe biden was interacting with his son's business partners which on its face is completely okay. but the question is was there any pay for play that was happening when joe biden was vice president and we will see from that point on eric schwerin fallout with the family handling finances. worked for the white house under a previous administration and ended up being with the biden family. he was with joe they did talk about money in this account and that account. when he goes behind closed doors how significant. >> significant for sure. how close he was with the family and conversation conversations he was having with them. one fact that keeps getting lost in the coverage of all of this is an independent bank auditor, basically watchdog in the bank j.p. morgans, wells fargo. they flagged payments from china to hunter a number of times saying they were suspicious, they didn't match up for potential services that were offered. the fact that there was one internal bank employee that flagged something as possible human trafficking payments. these are not politicians. they are not part of come member's committee. this is the evidence we are seeing come member's committee produce. >> brian: crack heads knock off liquor store and get their family in trouble. this is international business dealings hard to get your head around. last night donald trump put on truth social he will not be testifying this week in his civil trial. i heard his lawyers did not want him to testify in his own defense. he has already testified once. why wouldn't you want him to testify? >> well, i think -- they probably think he did a pretty good job the first time around. , when you have a client it's always dangerous to allow whether it's donald trump or anyone else to allow your client to speak and speak and speak. they know the state government here in new york is determined to get him on words and all these kind of things. he made a good case for himself. the first time he testified a month or so ago. look, never in new york history has someone been prosecuted for inflating real estate values without a victim. there is no victim here. the banks didn't have a problem with the loans. i would pay the loans back. >> brian: the nyu school said the books look great. i have no problem with that i thought that was significant. you said he has already lost. they already said he committed fraud, it's just how much. they are setting up for an appeal does letitia james making those speeches on the steps of the courthouse. the fact that she has all these things on tape of saying i'm going after donald trump, does that play a role legally in an appeal? >> it depends on what they appeal. certainly it shows bias. it shows political bias. it shows motive on the part of the state that raises questions of fundamental fairness, notions of justice. these kinds of issues, which i'm sure will be discussed on appeal. alicia james as you said campaigned on going after trump. actively tweeting about it. attending the trial. putting aside all her duties to sit in the front row and smile at everyone sitting there. like i said before. >> you have been there. >> a.g.s are very busy. means on the taxpayers dime. shirk everything else she has to do for the state of new york to sit there and be in the shot and do press conferences with case of donald trump. >> brian: trump says personal and politics. you have been to the court a lot. great to see you. >> thanks, brian. >> coming up straight ahead. illegal immigrant arrested in the murder of a 16-year-old cheerleader found dead in her bathtub. next guest son killed by illegal immigrant back in 2010. she joins us next with her message.

>> just so obvious going to go up every day. i mean, i think the count was around 11 million here when josh died which was 13 years ago. and it's continually gone up ever since. especially since the biden administration has taken over. it's just an open border. we don't really have a border right now i don't know why they call it a border anymore. it's open. people from all nations are coming through. we just have no idea who is here and what their intents are. >> ainsley: to lose a child has to be most excruciating thing go through. it's it's an illness you put your trust in god. something like this where it could have been prevented, it was avoidable. how do you get through that. >> you can't help but question every day if he hadn't been here my kid would be here today. you can't get past that but, the only way to get through it is with jesus. that he was the only way i have. i pray that this girl's mother knows jesus and that she will cling to him because that's the only way i thought i would die in the beginning. okay. okay. i'm going to die. the hard part is when you wake up and you are not going to die and you realize you have to live with this. i mean, absolutely is a soul changing event. and it just crushed our family. everybody had to kind of own way to be able to survive. it's very difficult to remain the same. you can't after something like this happens. it is going to happen every single day. a plan around the border being open. just, you hear about all these terms. the border, there are no borders. you want them open. everybody comes in and everybody needs a better life. it's all hogwash. i mean, the border is open right now. anybody can come in. we don't know who is here. we don't know if they want to just make a new life for themselves or kill every american in sight. we have no idea. the border has no -- the border patrol has no idea. the administration has no idea. >> yeah. we hear these stories, ms. me deanna, the cheerleader only 16, a junior at edna high school. her mom it just moved to texas recently with her. they were in an apartment until they could find a house she had to take a new job in texas. she comes home. daughter called out sick on monday. on tuesday she was supposed to go and be in this christmas parade as a cheerleader. she didn't come to school on tuesday it. didn't really alert her friends. her friends thought she still must be sick. when her mom came home. her mom went to the parade and realized her daughter wasn't there. she texted and called her. she found her daughter in the bathtub she had been brutally murdered. thankfully they caught this suspect raffle are a mirra. they found him 50 miles away. laura, thanks for praying for that family. everyone watching pray for the medina family and wilkersons who will never get over it? >> thank you. i appreciate it. >> laura: hand it over to brian. >> >> brian: let's talk about war. turning now to headlines starting with a fox news alert. right now a live look at the pro-palestinian protesters rallying in the west bank. there has been friction, obviously. this coming as 104 idf soldiers have been killed fighting in gaza. that according to local media and confirmed israeli reports. six others also hurt in a drone attack yesterday. israeli forces revealing two of the drones launched from lebanon were shot down by the iron dome missile defense system. the iran backed hezbollah terror group claimed responsibility for the attack. to a fox wildfire alert. california fire officials say the worst of the blaze burning through ventura county is over. the wildfire has been burning for more than a day, destroying 2500 acres of land. the fire is now more than 50% contained. evacuation orders have been lifted. all right. now to this. new billboard. these trucks are driving around harvard, calling for the resignation of the school's president after a disastrous congressional hearing on anti-semitism last week. there is more problem with institutions like this. alexandria hoff is live in washington. alex? >> hi, brian. one of harvard's governing bodies harvard corporation is expected to meet to discuss the president's future at the. the pressure has moved to dr. clawed dean gay after upenn's president and board chair resigned over the weekend. upenn's liz magill will continue to serve as the university's leader until interim is named. she'll remain tenured faculty member at law school. billboard trucks deployed with messages demanding that clawed dean gay be fired. photos of her while she appeared in congress on tuesday. the testimony by the presidents of harvard, penn and mit as you said, brian, the word is disastrous. it proved disastrous as they failed to condemn anti-semitism displayed during protests on campus. a republican led house committee has now launched an investigation into penn, harvard and mit and others. >> ultimately there needs to be a prosecution against, again, this illegal targeting of jewish students that is happening. on these college campuses, who are funded with federal funds. federal funds are pouring into these universities that we are going to defund. >> despite bipartisan calls for dr. gay to resign. hundreds of faculty members have signed a letter asking for the harvard's governing body to resist those calls. clearly, this controversy is not limited to the ivys. including to exclusive reporting by the the "new york post," facy panel at george washington university medical school claimed that hamas terrorists have a right of resistance against israel. this claim was made last week. it was seen in a video obtained by the "new york post" at least one gwu panelist affirmed israel's right to self-defense but they said it was a at least one and several people on this panel. >> alex, you talked a little bit about how that board is going to meet today to decide her fate. another board met yesterday. >> that's right. >> apparently talking about, you know, we might want to get rid of her, but we don't want to make it look like elise stefanik won. and what is different about this time is there's outrage. but suddenly a bunch of big donors are saying we are going to pull the plug on you. >> yeah. that was a regularly scheduled meeting that they had yesterday. at least they said that it was. it was on their schedule anyway. but, you know, if you look to liz magill from upenn, a statement came out after her resignation saying that this was her choice, that she had been strained by pressure. that she was stressed by all of this. and i think it was the same thing. they didn't want to say that that testimony proved so disastrous to the point where she resigned. but that it was of her own accord and it was simply too stressful with. >> brian: just turns out i have a lot of sick days build built up and do something different with my summers. i think in the long run this is going to be great. for the longest time, a lot of conservative would say what is going on on college campuses and then some democrats would go what are you talking about? there is nothing going on this. is an open, honest exchange of ideas. you just don't like the idea of the. then a all of a sudden got con feud fused with the rise of steample. many in the jewish community are democrats. and then they find themselves wait a second what is going on on these campuses. now we are going to find out about finances going to be major investigations. going to find out about curriculum. not just four schools. there is other schools. what about the workforce? people are saying hey, you are from these institutions, i know what you guys stand for. i'm not hiring you. including bar stools dave portnoy. he said this over the weekend. >> there is some things you can't apologize for. refusing to condemn genocide of any kind is one of those things. especially when you are the dean, the president of a school. so they have to step down there. is no apology for this. you know, the only way is action, whether it be companies and obviously we are a sports entertainment company. we do have some harvard grads. they are grandfathered. in but, other company leaders have to say we're not going to stand for it. we won't hire these people. the alumni have to raise hell. >> brian: he is not hiring them at barstool. >> lawrence: this crash intersection politics. college campuses, look at people by their race, by their class, by their gender and there is a cross and they give you a map, if you are black, male. this this is where you are going to fall on this chart. what happened with the jewish people is that in that intersection politics, they don't consider them as a minority group. and then you look at jewish people as a whole, and they don't look at them in the poverty skill. so, they say these people can't be discriminated against. they are not a minority group. we are seeing 60% of the hate crime something impacted. we are seeing they're a minority in the country. in the little scale. these presidents who had been teaching all of this with the professors, it really crashed for them. so they can't think logically. they see what is happening all across the country. what's being taught on their campuses says and teaches a different story. i think this really blows it all up. because the americans that are reasonable people see what is happening. they are saying this can not stand. >> ainsley: we have always been a country that has supported israel. it's very confusing when you see the multitudes of people participating in these pro-hamas. >> steve: on the other side? >> ainsley: exactly. many are there because they say we want a cease-fire. we don't want any more civilians to die. which a lot of people agree with some of them are yelling from the river to the sea. some are yelling kill the jews. some of them are yelling genocide. it is hateful. it's violent. and when you have these presidents of these universities who take a lot of money from the jewish groups. and you hear them say just ignore it all and say well, it depends on ton context. no, you shouldn't allow these messages on your campus. it's isolating them. it's making them feel unsafe. they are not sure if anyone is going to actually go through with some of these threats. the letter for harvard, she wrote -- or there was a letter in the harvard crimson, the president of hard. she did apologize. like dave portnoy is saying you can't apologize now, it's too little, too late. i'm sorry words do matter. 70 members of congress have signed letters to the school board asking for the president to resign. now, steve, some of these people are saying down one, two more to go. do you think so the other two will resign? >> steve: stay tuned. it doesn't look good for them. because it is a bright red line for a majority of americans. anti-semitism is simply wrong. and you can't c call it out you got to go. >> brian: exposes the curriculum all the colleges. heritage foundation says this is the zoom moment for education in primary school grades. this could be the zoom moment for colleges. i hope. >> lawrence: totally agree. >> ainsley: a fox weather alert. tornadoes tearing through parts of tennessee killing six and leaving thousands without power. fox weather robert ray on the ground. that's next. >> steve: new polls showing donald trump the primary. in the matchups nikki haley beats joe biden by 17 points. trump by not that many. our voter panel is going to react to that coming up next. ♪ your brain is an amazing thing. but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve memory. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. sleep more deeply. and wake up rejuvenated. purple mattresses exclusive gel flex grid draws away heat. relives pressure and instantly adapts. sleep better live purple. right now save up to $900 dollars off mattress sets during purple's black friday sale. visit purple.com or a store near you today. my name is dana bellefeuille, and my husband and i own the village bakery located in hayden, idaho. our mission is to employ people with different abilities. tiktok is allowing us to show what acceptance looks like on a day-to-day basis, here at the bakery. this is a community of just complete and utter love. it's the people that lift you up when you're down. people on tiktok do that on a daily basis, and i've never found a community like that, ever.

>> yeah. good morning from a very cold 2f fort campbell the 101st airborne division. this morning, this unfortunately are the scenes that people are waking up to. six people dead in the state of tennessee. two of them are children. take a look at some of the video when the sun was up yesterday. looking at the damage in clarksville, about 170,000 people live here. also a tornado that hit just north of nashville on saturday: according to clarksville officials. nearly 700 structures have been destroyed as recovery efforts are continuing. power lines are still down. over 10,000 people in the state of tennessee this morning. out of power. guys, look at this video of the tornado and listen to the sound of an explosion on saturday. >> oh [bleep] oh my god. >> unbelievable destruction here this morning. national weather service has rated this an ef 3. that means maximum winds of 150 miles per hour. the width of the tornado that destroyed parts of clarksville about 6 football fields and you see this morning look at these power lines that are down as the sun comes up. those crews will be back out. but it is absolutely freezing here this morning and the home fort campbell the second largest military base in america and this area reeling. steve? >> steve: indeed. robert ray live in tennessee. robert, thank you. all right. switching gears now 2024 politics. and polls "wall street journal" poll shows that donald trump is dominated the republican field at 59%. a nearly 45% lead ahead of nikki haley and ron desantis who are roughly tied for second place as you can see right there. same poll indicate nikki haley is the candidate in a general election who can beat joe biden in a landslide. she does actually better than donald trump in the general. joining us right now our voter panel. got florida republican voter sydney along with independent voter doug boyer and nevada republican voter and former democrat lydia dominguez. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. thanks for having us. >> steve: all right. doug, let's start with you. you are in washington, d.c. who are you leaning toward right now. >> right now on the republican side, nikki haley, i think it's time for the republican party to co-ales around her, who might not agree with everything that she says. but she absolutely is going to make a change from just the republican party being in a stalemate against the democrats. >> steve: all right. sydney, how about you? i know you have been on the program. you are a big trump supporter. >> yes. i am. and i still am. i would like to see president trump have another four years. >> steve: okay. lydia, i know that you voted for donald trump, you are a former democrat who voted for barack obama a couple of times. what about this time? i know it's about a year out. but where are you leaning? >> yes. so i voted for barack obama twice and i saw the light. president trump was the first republican president i voted for. and i will be voting for him a third time this time around i stand by him because of his actions, his america first values and policies. >> steve: lydia, we were talking about this a little while ago. hillary clinton is going to be a very vocal surrogate for joe biden and it sounds like barack obama is as well. given the fact that you voted for barack obama twice, would his endorsement give you pause to look at joe biden a second time? >> absolutely not. i look at the actions of a person and especially a candidate, especially an elected official and his actions were atrocious, his policies were the beginning of the destruction of america and i cannot stand for his endorsement or hillary clinton's endorsement. >> steve: i think your fire alarm went off at somebody's house right now. sydney, what is the number one issue for you. according to this "wall street journal" poll, it's the economy. >> yes. i think the economy is going to be huge for people going into this election. clearly, everything is up in price, gas, groceries, i think we have talked about that before. but i think people see that things were much better under president trump. and i think that people are going to be thinking about that a lot going into 2024. >> steve: doug, as the lone independent on this panel that we have got today, when you -- i don't know if you talk politics with your family and friends, but when you -- i'm sure you have got friends who are in the trump camp as these ladies are, when you tell them you are leaning toward nikki haley, what do they say to you? >> well, they disagree with me. and they called me an idiot, which is the problem with a lot of the conservatives that back -- i want a president that actually doesn't govern by executive order to get things, you know, looking good for 32 months or 40 months. i want a president that passes laws by working with the other side, realizing we are different. we are not going to agree on everything, but just like reagan and clinton and obama did during their second terms, they found
