>> i think that they actually have to start having the conversation that david axlerod has keyed up, several other sort of serious-minded democratic

consultants and the like have been very open about, about whether they really want to go into 2024 with 81-year-old joe biden as the head of the ticket. >> they've done these hostage deals before, it and doesn't solve this long-term issue. we have to show strength here despite the bloodshed. >> basically what happened was the tussle between can we go fast enough, can we commercialize versus are we doing safe and responsible a.i., that's what the board has to figure out. >> when you have democrats telling your democratic president, hey, it's maybe time the hang up the cleats, maybe that's the good time. they don't have policy to run on, ashley, this is the problem. what do you want to do? hey, let's all be like california in you they's going to solve it? no. ♪ heros just for one day ♪ ashley: we can be heroes just for one day, the great, late david bowie once again, thank you, producers, for taking careful my bow if by fix for

this hour. sixth avenue, that beautiful christmas tree right there in fox square. 50 feet tall. imagine having to put all the ornaments and lights on there. if one light goes out, do the others go out? gosh, i hope so. it is 11 a.m. on tuesday, november 211st, i'm ashley webster in for stu varney today. take a look at those markets, plenty of red, but we've been on a very good run and no big losses. the nasdaq down about .8%, the dow down a quarter of a percent or less, the s&p down just one-third of a percent. let's take a look at the big tech names if we can. mixed bag, mostly lower. alphabet slightly higher, but apple, meta, microsoft and amazon all moving lower. amazon down, by the way, nearly 3%. let's take a look at the 10-year treasury. that yield going down and down, down another close to 2 basis points at 4.40%. but that's not giving much of a boost, is it, to the equities.

all right, now this: president biden was mockedded after confusing taylor swift with britney spears. roll the tape. >> you could see even it's harder than getting a ticket to to the renaissance tour or, or for britmy's -- britney's tour, she's down in, it's kind of warm in brazil right now. [laughter] ashley: i just wish he hadn't gone for it, but he did. oh, my. jimmy failla, i mean, jimmy, just the gift that keeps on giving here. a, i think it's taylor swift, is it not, that's down in brazil. why does he even go there? >> well, i think what biden was trying to say, ash, was gavin newsom 2024. i think that's what -- [laughter] he meant to say in that moment. that was, he actually went 0-3 on references. he got taylor swift wrong which, to be clear, we're happy he didn't call her taylor hamm like the breakfast dish because he

has a propence deto be all over the map. but then, of course, he references the beyonce tour. but the britney spears thing actually makes sense because if you've been following this story, you know that like biden, britney spears peaked, like, 25 years ago. [laughter] ashley: you are just so, so mean but so true. next one for you, a new poll, new poll shows that 6 is % of -- 61% of people hope to avoid talking politics at the thanksgiving dinner this year. it's like, you know, pass the potatoes, you lossty democrat -- lousy democrat. are you going to stay away from politics at the dinner table, jimmy in. >> if you grew up in a a family like mine, the biggest threat is not politics, it's the bar, okay in. [laughter] we're in a lot more trouble when the bourbon starts flowing then we are when the border wall rhetoric starts passing become and forth. i get it, i think people have just outgroup it. especially here -- outgrown it.

you shouldn't waste your energy fighting your family on thanksgiving, because if you're going to shop on black friday, you're going to need that violent aggression. [laughter] ashley: i'm interested to know, does the failla family feast, that's three fs, a lot, does your family ever get into arguments over politics? especially at thanksgiving in. >> no. i come from one of those tables, one of those families where we largely agree on politics. plus, like, food means too much to us to squander a meal fighting over an election. look at me, ash. i look like i get paid in dinner rolls. come on, man. [laughter] ashley: by the way, jimmy, taylor swift, she received the highest net favorability rating in a new nbc billion, so i guess you could say -- poll, so i guess you could say that maybe taylor swift and, oh, yes, travis kelce, are safe topics for thanksgiving dibber. >> no, i agree with that. you've got to go to the fun

areas if you want to hold the conversation together. and it's hard to hate taylor wit and travis kelce, they're harmless. and most of these relationships in the past have had the life expectancy of a goldfish you win at a carnival. it's usually, like, two days and it's over. so this is a feel-good story no matter where it goes from here. i think it's house money. i think that's where you head. if you want to talk about pop culture, taylor swift. if you want to talk about chiefs, elizabeth warren. [laughter] ashley: very good, jimmy failla. i could speak to you all or hour, but i get into trouble. great stuff, as always. thank you so much and enjoy your thanksgiving feast. just stay away from the bar. >> you too. ashley: speaking of favorabilit- [laughter] i'll try. speaking of favorability, which 2024 candidate has the highest, lauren simonetti? lauren: hard to follow jimmy. [laughter] the answer is -- by a pretty wide margin.

52% view him favorably, 27% unfavorably. i thought it was his name recognition, the kennedy family, but then ben domenech in the first hour said, look, voters are just ready to move on from trump and biden. speaking of trump and biden, trump came in second. i was also shocked by this, 51% view him favorably. not bad. biden underwater at 46%. and desantis shocks me too, 44%. i know he's popular in florida, but most people elsewhere say, well, i just don't know what he's like as a person, or he's not that likable. he came in fourth, 44%. ashley: a yeah, he's strug untilled a little bit with that,? he's not the greatest at, you know, shaking hands and working a room. but, hey, we'll see. lauren, thank you very much. interesting though. let's get back to the markets, please. okay, we're down just a little bit today, nothing too serious. and, again, to thank lauren, we have been on a very good run up til now, so so this is really

not a big deal. mike murphy joins us now. great to have you onboard, mike. look, we've talked about a it all a morning, inid have ya -- nvidia, their results coming after the bell today. what are you looking for, what are you expecting? >> hey, ashley, great to see you. so invidia's had this great run, you know, it's up almost 250% year to date, so it's had a massive run, but really the numbers i expect are going to be good to very good, but really it's going to be the about the guidance, you know? so in order to support the stock here at the $500 level we're going to need to see very strong guidance from the company. tough to say if it's strong enough to support the stock here, but i think nvidia's one of these companies that is going to be around for a very long time. if you're lucky enough to own it, you hang on to it. whether or not it moves 20 points or 30 points one way or the other on the earnings report is kind of insignificant. i think this is a company that their chips are kind of changing the way we live, so it's a great

story and something that you want to hold on to. ashley: very good. let me ask you this, are we in for a santa claus rally? >> i think we're smack dab in the middle of it. we're, you know, we had a selloff late summer, and now as you see the fed, we're going to get fed minutes later today, and if they talk about at all, if anything comes up about rate cuts, you're going to have a massive rally just on that alone. but i think either way you look at the s&p 500, we've had a great move up here recently but with we're only a few percentage points away from the highs that we set earlier this year. i expect to take those highs out before the end of the year. so santa's coming, for sure. ashley: i'm glad to hear that. hopefully, everyone's been nice and not naughty. you know, mike, we got existing home sales earlier for october, hit a 13-year low. there's no, there's not enough

inventory, and mortgage rates are too high. housing is a real issue, is it not? >> so, you know, it's funny because if you hook at the home builders, they've actually performed relatively well. but if you step back and look at the economy, i think we're going of to have plenty of people who want to buy a home as a mortgage rates come lower, but as you point out, we need the inventory there. so let's let rates settle in. the 10-year needs to get under that 4.4 level. and as mortgage rates come back down to the 5% range, i think a lot of people are going to say we're not holding out for the 2 or 3%30-year mortgage, we're going to jump in now, start buying. i wouldn't be too concerned. for people who want to start a family, buy a home, that piece of the american dream you can read in a lot of places that that's dead. you're not going to get that from me. people are going to start families, they're going to build lives in new homes. so i think home sales will be

just fine when rates settle in a little bit. ashley: great place to leave it. you're making me smile. mike, great to see you. happy thanksgiving to you and your family, sir. >> happy thanksgiving to you. thank you,, ash. ashley: all right, mike. lauren, you're looking at ford. lauren: yep. ashley: what's going on now? lauren: look, slower demand for electric vehicles. so now ford is scaling back its planned battery plant, $3.55 billion plant in michigan. they say it'll be some 40% smaller than initially planned, and they'll create 1500 jobs instead of 2500. ford's just about $10 a share, it's down 2% today. general motors, on november 29th there's going to be a business update following the ratification of these new labor agreements. management will likely address the increased cost of that, right? how much more they have to pay their union workers. but also cruze, their robo-taxi unit keeps losing money.

two of their biggest executives resigned this week alone, it's only tuesday. and, you know, gm needs to save money because it's paying out money. they're not advertising in the super bowl for the first time in five years. domino's pizza, ashley, they're using e-bikes with built-in ovens the deliver pizzas. there it is. starting in australia, but i could see thising to the u.s. so the motor, the battery powers the bike, and that oven in the back to keep your pizza warm. what do you think? ashley: i think i would like one just for my own potential use. [laughter] -- personal use. that's terrific. lauren: hot lunch all the time. ashley: keep anything warm back there. very good, lauren, lovely stuff. coming up, the median age of a home buyer is now 49 years old. we're going to ask the chief economist of realtor.com if young people are being priced out of the market. the white house trying to take a victory lap on lower prices ahead of the holidays, but most voters don't see much

carolina, 69 degrees, a little bit cloudy. now this: the white house is celebrating lower prices this holiday season, but voters just not buying it e. hillary vaughn is at the white house this morning and, hillary, what are vote voters saying? >> reporter: many young americans are feeling depressed about the state of the economy. in fact, gen-zers are calling it a silent depression, what they're facing in terms of rising costs all around them. but the white house this week says americans have a lot to be thankful for because the cost of thanksgiving dinner is cheaper this year than it was last year. >> and as we start preparing our thanksgiving meals, grocery inflation is at a its lowest level in over two years. prices are down for turkey, stuffing, pea, cranberries, pie crusts and whipping cream. we had a big discussion about a whipping cream in the back. >> reporter: but while this year's dinner costs did take a dip, it's still way above where

it was before biden took office, 25% more according to the farm bureau, and it's only $3 cheaper overall this year than last. and when you single out the cost of a turkey, it's only a dollar cheaper than it was last year but still $8 more than at the beginning of biden's term. while they are celebrating this week the dollar drop for the big bird, when it was up by a buck, the white house downplayed it. >> i don't know if you've cooked a turkey before, but a 20-pound if turkey, it's a pretty big turkey, they're about $1 more. i just want to be clear that there are an abundance of turkeys available. they're about $1 is for for a 20-pound bird which is a huge bird if you're feeding a very big family. >> reporter: and, ashley, a new nbc poll shows that a americans 18-24, that young american range, the early new voter range actually giving former president trump an edge in an nbc poll as opposed the

biden. so biden's trying to figure out how to make up some ground among that key voting demographic. ashley? ashley: thank you very much, hillary. fascinating stuff. finish congresswoman claudia penny, the republican from -- claudia tenney, republican from new york, joins us this morning. great to have you here. look, to hillary's point in that report, do people feel that inflation has come down? because i hear complaints every day. >> look, i don't think so. and, first of all, that's an a average a other the entire nation, so some places will be feeling a much higher inflationary average anyway. but also remember, as she cited accurately, this is -- the prices are continuing to go up since biden came into office a back in 20 is the. 2019. but also what you have is just a slowing of inflation, not a stoppage of inflation. and you also have interest rates that are very high, and everyone is facing the shock of historically low interest rates, and now they're very high, and that's discouraging a lot of

people, people that do not have fixed-rate mortgages or loans are seeing this increase from also the interest rates, and we also have an historically high bankruptcy, personal and business. so people are feeling the pinch everywhere. incomes are down, and inflation continues. it persists, the costs may be slightly lower as hillary indicated, but this is still a huge problem, and people aren't seeing this in most regions. certainly in upstate new york where we don't have much of a dynamic economy run by the democrats in albany, we have high costs, high taxes, high energy prices. so that also makes it really hard even when you go if to the gas station or the grocery store and see a few cents less, you know, for the foods we'll be eating, hopefully, on thanksgiving. ashley: all right, i want to change subjects. a poll from sienna college shows that new york democrats overwhelmingly say the migrant crisis is a serious problem. no, no doubt about it. but new york's mayor, eric adams, agrees but doesn't want

to take the blame. listen to this. >> and i tell people all the time when they stop me on the subway system, don't yell at me, yell at d.c. yell at d.c. ashley: okay. well, congresswoman, how to we fix it if nobody wants to take the blame? if. >> well, here's the democrats pointing at each other. it's d.c.'s fault, no, it's the cities' fault. when you have and maintain and continue a sanctuary city where you provide safe haven for illegal immigrants to come and you have a governor of the state of new york who provides billions in new taxes and money flowing to illegal immigrants to give them incentives to come in and the mayor is now looking to cut -- he's looking to cut the police department, defund the police department again as we saw under de blasio before, now he's continuing that, so we're seeing a lot of issues that are, you know, it's all the democrats. all a they have to do is stop system of these bad policies,

secure our border including the very porous to northern border which is in new york, and we could see decrease possibly in illegal immigrants. and for the first time ever, i've heard democrats talking about plans for deporting these people and sending them back to the country of origin because they are not legitimate asylum seekers. they're taking advantage. oh, they're rejecting -- they don't want to live in a tent, they want a luxury e hotel. i think people are starting to see their policies are what have caused this problem. ashley: why doesn't new york just drop its sanctuary status, or is that a just not in the playbook? >> well, certainly, you're got to go toal a banny or have the new york city mayor to make the city council make that change. we have sanctuary colleges in upstate new york too, colleges that accept illegal immigrants is and safe haven for people. they've got to change the policies in albany and new york city. we're paying the price in upstate new york as a well because many of these immigrants have been shipped to upstate new york. ashley: you know, it just -- every time we talk about it, and

we talk about it a lot, you just shake your head. it's just insanity. anyway, congresswoman, thank you so much as always for stopping by, chatting with us today. we really appreciate it. all right, now this -- >> thank you, ashley and happy thanksgiving, everyone. ashley: same to you, congresswoman with. thank you very much. joe biden planning to deploy immigration officers to panama to help screen and deport u.s.-bound migrants. i haven't heard about this before. tell me more, lauren. lauren: and deport is the key word. so the dare january gap which you've heard of, that's e that key transsent point next to south america, it's dangerous, right? a jungle. and some 500,000 migrants, including womenchildren, have trekked ther the january gap to get to the united states. there are reports that the biden administration is working with panama on a plan to send immigration officers to panama. this is agencies across dhs that would screen the migrants and deport them if they do not meet

the requirements for humanitarian protection in the united states. so in a way, going to the source to say don't even bother. ashley: they're actually trying to do something about the crisis at the border, i guess we should take heart from that. lauren, thank you very much. let's take a look at the markets. just slightly lower. we've had gains for the last three weeks, had some gains in monday's session. just a little bit lower today. again, we're waiting on the fed minutes this afternoon. if they even dare hint about a potential rate cut ahead, we could see this market turn around very quickly. all right, coming up, the biden administration is trying to push people to use electric heat pumps, but reports say using natural gas could save you up to 40% on your energy bills. grady trimble will have the full report. older workers seem to be taking issue with their younger colleagues' work ethnic -- ethic. going to break down the

ashley: well, the markets really have been tread thing water this morning. it's a holiday-shortened week, but there's been more selling than buying, as you can see. the dow jones down about 90 points. take a look at the big tech names, if we can, most of those have been moving lower. amazon in particular, as you can see. apple down .8%, microsoft down 1.5. meta platforms also down 1%. am ason, i think, was the only -- amazon, i think, was the only one moving higher earlier. alpha pa bent flat, moth down 1.5% -- microsoft down 1.5. you'd expect the numbers on the 10-year to be moving high higher, what normally happens, but that isn't happening, the yield down 4.40, essentially

flat, but it's not translating to a boost for the high-tech or big tech names at least. all right, now this, older employees are criticizing the work ethic of younger generations. we've heard it all before, but what are they saying, lauren? lauren: so boomers or and gen-x say they can't stand that gen-z and millennials don't want to work 9 to 5. they say young workers have no work ethic, that they're a lazy, but when asked would you work between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m., 26% of gen-z said, absolutely, 6% of baby boomers said they would. i'm defending gen-z, believe it or not. they a want freedom, they want time so they can do other things during the day than just work. if you asked we to work a 9 to 5, i would say, no way. i like working a little bit of odd hours so you can do other stuff. ashley: yeah, i'm with you, and i understand that. it's easier for these younger folks if mom and dad is helping

to bankroll their ability to go do something else, but i digress. lauren: i'm trying to be positive. ashley: lauren, thank you very much. you are. you're being very good today. now this, the biden administration targeting how you heat your homes now, all the in the name of climate change. grady trimbles -- trimble's joining me now on this story. what's the administration doing this time? >> reporter: it is using the defense production act to boost electric heat pump making. that, you might know, is a wartime law that gives the president authority to increase manufacturing. biden adviser john podesta says the defense production act a funds for heat pump manufacturing show that president biden is treating climate e change as the crisis it is. the administration announced $169 million from the inflation reduction act will go to companies so they can build factories to make heat pumps. officials with the department of energy argue it'll make home

heating less expensive, more efficient and boost our energy security. but listen to what republicans say. >> this sounds a lot like centralized government economic planning. you have to let the free market drive these decisions, and i have, i have serious concerns about a using hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to force something for an ideological reason, not an economic or national more than reason. >> reporter: and speaking of the free market, natural gas prices are down 21% from last year, and they are expected to keep dropping. the energy information administration if estimates heating homes this winter using natural gas will cut down energy costs by more than 40% compared to electricity. republicans say this policy by the biden administration is just another one to dictate what

appliances we use in our homes. ash? ashley: oh, yes. get out of our households, that's for sure. grady, thank you very much, interesting stuff. last hour, by the way, we learned that existing hem sales for october hit -- home sales for october hit a 13-year low. realtor.com's chief economist danielle hale joins us now. realtor.com is joined by our sister company, news corp.. danielle, good morning to you. is it just the case right now that home ownership has just become unaffordable? >> home ownership is actually pretty affordable if you've owned your home for quite some time, but if you're trying to buy in today's market, it's actually a very difficult time for young people especially. we've seen in recent data that the homeownership rate for the under 35 cohort has ticked down. we know that down payments are at a record high, so while home prices remain relatively high, housing activity has dropped because it's tough to break in

especially for first timers. ashley: and what's going to break this, you know? obviously, the fed's been raising rates. mortgage rates above 7%. people don't want to give up that 3% 30-year fixed, so they're just holding tight. inventory really low. it's a bit of a log jam. how long do you see this continuing? >> yeah, i think that's right. i think an important contributor to the stalemate are these low mortgage rates that many homeowners have locked in whether they purchased in recent years or whether they refinanced into a lower rate, and it's hard to give that up when rates right now are double the rates that many homeowners have locked in. i don't think we're going to see it from existing inventory until rates get back down below 6%, which i don't think is likely to happen anytime soon, probably not over the next year. i think what we need to see is more building. builders have been building single family e homes at the upper end of their recent range, but we need to see even more of that. our estimates over the last

decade suggest that we're about between 2-6 million homes short, is and for context, we build about 1.4 million homes per year, so it's a multiyear problem that we see in the housing shortage right now. ashley: it's interesting, danielle, the median age of all home buyers has increased from 31 in 1981 to 49 this year. remarkable. i mean, you know, to your point earlier, are younger people just priced out of the market? >> i think it is very difficult for young people to enter the market right now. many of them are priced out. and if they're not priced out, they have to wait longer to get to that age where they've e amassed enough funds for a down payment that they can compete with equity-rich existing homeowners in the market. i think also some awareness about the options that are out there today, so for a potential first-time home buyer who happens to be the active military or veterans, they do have some advantages in the form hofstra loans which allow them

to make zero down payments -- of v.a. is loans, but many potential buyers don't know about that option. getting more information out to potential buyers would be something that could help. ashley: i mean, you could ask is renting a good alternative. i mean, for some there is no alternative, correct? >> the renting is the alternative that many younger households are sticking with, and with rental construction up at multiyear highs, then that's a pretty decent option. the price is high, but we think it's likely to remain relatively stable because of that influx of rental supply that's on the market. so you're not going to see rents climb as a fast. it does make the option a bit of a more financially beneficial one at least in the short term, but households that can't get into home ownership are missing out on the equity building that has red to a lot of wealth creation for existing homeowners. ashley: we'll have to leave it there, but it's a challenging environment, for sure.

daniel hale -- danielle hale, thank you so much for your expertise. >> thank you for having me. ashley: coming up, a deal to get the hostages out of gaza is reportedly in the final stages. we're going to bring you the latest detail offense that. bleng men -- benjamin hall returns to the ukraine for the first time since being injured, he sat down with president zelenskyy for a one-on-one interview, and ben takes us through it all next. ♪ (adventurous music) ♪ ♪

to more than $1 billion. maybe he's buying a new yacht. who knows? we'll follow it. want to get to this story now. benjamin hall went back to ukraine for the first time since he was injured in this covering the war. he sat down with president zelenskyy and, to our great pleasure, he joins me now to talk about the it. ben, great to see you. what was it like going back, and also what did president zelenskyy have to tell you? >> reporter: ashley, it's good to see you too. this was an emotional weekend for me. there were two sides to it. you know, half of it was me going back to ukraine, going back to where i was injured a year and a half ago, and i did so on the samerain that i left last time. and i think you can have a look at me getting on that train on the way out there. have a look. last time i got onto this train, i was barely alive, badly injured. but we made it out the other side, and today's the day that we're going back.

and i can honestly tell you that the sort of feeling i got on that train was one of real strength. it reminded me no matter if you are knocked down, you pick yourself up, and you go and keep doing it. that's how i felt on this trip. and the other point of the trip was we had this one-on-one interview with president zelenskyy. he sat down, he talked about every element that was happening in ukraine. first of all, he said that he thought russia was pushing the world towards world war iii, but he said there was absolutely no place for a peace deal right now. he said russia would certainly not adhere to one. for now, no peace if deal at all. i did point out president trump said if he were. in office, he would come to a peace deal within a week, and president zelenskyy said let's have a one-on-one, sit-down interview. he also acknowledged that the offensive, the spring offensive that we've seen over the last few months, has not gone as a planned. they did not capture much

territory as they were hoping to do so. but he said instead of that, they did manage the -- to push the russian fleet out of the black sea. he said as with every war, there are pros and cons, so not a lot of land back, but a lot of positive in the naval area. he was also concerned about the lack of funding from congress. that has been held up at the moment, and he did say that hay rely -- they rely so heavily on that money. he is also a conditioned that maybe some of the feelings among the republican party or and in america are starting to say there's too much money going to ukraine, how long will this go on for? that was his mentioner we rely on that money, but this is going to be for quite a few years, and that cannot stop. leeched out to americans as a well and -- he reached out to americans and said we don't want american troops here, we will hold russia back, but with we will do so with your help. and so very wide-ranging interview, we covered all the different bases, and it'll be airing tonight on" special

report" at 6:00. >> ashley: we look forward to that, benjamin. it's so lovely to see you. and so lovely for you to be able to go back and meet with zelenskyy. i'm sure it was very emotional. and you also won an award, did you not? he gave you an award. >> reporter: i did. i was given the order of merit for being courageous, but what i really want to point out is that i'm not the one who deserves that award. our cameraman pierre, and -- [inaudible] they died out there, and we talked about them an awful a lot too. and we talked about how there are journalists all the time risking their lives to be out there to bring the story. this trip was a real reminder of them, what they did, and we should never forget them either. ashley: yes. ben, lovely to talk to you, sir. thank you so much. we appreciate your time. >> thanks, ashley. ashley: thank you. all right, let's turn to israel. lauren, you've got an update on a possible hostage deal. lauren: trey yingst and jeff paul are reporting on the outlines of a deal that the

israeli government is considering right now. so about 50 hostages, women and children, would be swapped for 150 palestinian women and children that are being held by israel. it would be a phased elite -- phased release of about 10 hostages followed by more if the ceasefire holds. the ceasefire would be multiday, up to five days. here's the president. >> we're now very close, very close. we could bring some of these hostages home very soon. but i don't want to get into details of things because nothing is done until it's done. and we have more to say, we will, but things are looking good at the moment. lauren: and john kirby didn't say ceasefire yesterday, he said a temporary and localized stop in fighting to release hostages potentially, ashley. ashley: all right. maybe a breakthrough there. lauren, thank you very much. all right, coming up, fox nation has an all a new special

ashley: a new special on fox nation called "liberty or death: the boston tea a party" with rob lowe is now available on fox nation. here's a preview, take a look. >> in 7 -- 1773, boston is under the control of a distant tyrannical power. against impossible odds, one man refuses to give in. >> i'm not saying it's easy, i'm

not saying it won't be dangerous, but we need to do whatever it takes. this started in boston. it will end here. is anyone willing to take a stand for liberty? ashley: great stuff, isn't it? if i want to watch it right now. abby -- abby hornacek joins me now. tell me about this new special. >> yeah, ash ally, it's so good. i've watched it already. it's a four-part series. it's all about a monumental moment in our country, the planning of the boston tea party, the bravery, the true patriots who fought for our freedom. you know, as we near the 250th anniversary of our country, it's stories like these that are important to look back on to really understand how we all got here. and something that you obviously saw there is rob lowe is fronting this series. and i had the opportunity to sit down with him and ask him a few questions. manager i learned is his great,

great, great, great, great -- that's five greats -- grandfather has an interesting connection to the american revolution. he was a soldier commissioned by the british, was captured, changed sides and ended up fighting with the american patriots. so there are so many interesting elements to this series, and i can't wait for people to watch. ashley: and this was really a, you know, we can't overstate the significance of this because it really sparked the revolution, to your point, right? >> exactly. and i brought this up to rob lowe when i was talking to him. it's things like these that you kind of learn about early on in our educational career, if you will, and sometimes people don't remember all the detail it is or how important they are. like samuel adams. he united two gangs in bostons -- boston. that was almost impossible to do, but they were all fighting for one cause, and that was for our freedom. so it's really fun to look back on. i think the production team did

an incredible job as you can see by the images playing on your screen right now, and it's something good that people can watch for thanksgiving. ashley: yeah. and very quickly, how many episodes were there? >> it's a four-part series. so i think they're going to do more. you didn't hear it from me, but we'll see what happens.
