told him not to chew gum but don t worry, the big guy is okay, the white house said he got sabotaged by sandbag at the air force academy graduation today. the president has bigger problems to deal with like his nonexistent campaign strategy. how s the reelection campaign going? neil: he s also avoiding debate stages and it s breaking the heart of that guy from dawson s creek. actor james van der beek, that vanderbeek going viral with his criticism of biden ducking the competition. him i cannot get over the fact that the democratic national committee is saying they will not be a debate to decide the nominee for president. are you [bleep] kidding me. an 80-year-old man if he lives will be the oldest sitting president of the history of the country and if he doesn t live, has a vice president whose approval rating is worse than his? he obviously has declining mental faculties. greg: here s why he should get out there more, his white house stunned to learn that the maj
in iowa where a key battle kicks off not many months away. sir? no, that s not the case, neil. not many months away. look at what is happening here. you have a number of candidates coming to iowa. the former president will be here in a couple hours from now. he s doing that fox news town hall with sean hannity. he had a full day in iowa. close to the des moines area. the former president is just finishing up his final campaign event of the day. part of a two-day trip to iowa. got here last night as governor ron desantis left for new hampshire. desantis has been arguing that the next president, republican, needs to serve two terms if elected again, trump would only have one term left. trump is responding. we have to do it again. we have to bring it back. one of our opponents, they were out there saying that we can be there eight years and it takes eight years. no, it takes six months to fix it or less. keeping in the spirit, desantis shot back at an event in new hampshir
the politics of perception. i m michael smerconish in philadelphia. if it were still the economy stupid, then joe biden s presidency would be in much better shape. something else is at play here. yes, inflation is souring americans, but by many measures, the economy is booming. the economy is clearly grow ing. the gross domestic product is up 5.2% in the third quarter, even faster than previousliest mated. if gdp is rising, the economy is considered to be in solid shape and the nation moving forward. the dow jones rallied this week to a new high for the year. wages had been losing ground to inflation for two years, but since may, wages have return to outpacing inflation. and unemployment is at an historic low. the u.s. unemployment rate has been below 4% for 21 straight months, the longest stretch since the late 1960s. how about gas prices? they have fallen or remain ed steady for ten weeks. you barely reed about that, but if they were headed in the other direction, it would
right now, trump attorney is delivering the defense s closing argument to the criminal trial against the former president. his message is quite simple. where exactly is the crime? there s not a lot of shred of evidence. the case hinges on the word of a convicted lawyer. getting revenge on trump. later it is the prosecution s turn and the jury will deliberate. we heard moments ago as they were getting going right after a break that the jury has told the judge they are willing to stay late today. however, todd blanche had also said that it needed another 30 minutes. that was 5 minutes ago. we could see the defense end is closing arguments. the verdict could exonerate the former president or make him the first commander in chief convicted of crime. this is outnumbered with my cohost emily compagno and kayleigh mcenany. sandra smith has fitness into her busy day. fox news contributor and former utah congressman. let s go live. when you and i talked last hour, you really have
neil: i recommend the 100-foot rope climb i ve never done a 100-foot rope climb. congratulations, you look terrific, keep at it. any spokesman possibilities for mcdonald s? they didn t partner with me in anyway but they did send me a gift basket and said thank you. neil: fast food meal plan and it worked! here s the five. greg: i m greg gutfeld, nothing slows her down except for glue traps, dana perino and the five. president biden falling hard in the polls and his campaign is off to a rocky start. if only there was some kind of visual metaphor.
