the polls. the same polls that predicted content. they plan to spend $4 billion donald trump would win the iowa more next year on content than caucus back in 2016, they were not accurate. they did this year. the same polls that predicted a stuart: nobody can match that. the other streamer like sweeping red e wave for republicans across the country paramount president, for last year, they were inaccurate. example -- paramount +, they'd stuart: yeah. lauren: yeah. be dwarfed by netflix. but most of the polls have trump lauren: 100%. way ahead. he's at 51% support in iowa. stuart: tesla, i think, recalling 2 million vehicles. desantis is at 19%. that's not a serious recall, is even with the endorsement of the it? lauren: not. but it is nearly every single governor of ray, kim reynolds, tesla on the road in the u.s. i don't think this is a big deal, and i argue that investors and he's stuffed in all 99 don't either. the issue is with the auto pilot counties. he's doing the hard work. and what we've seen, trump's steering in tesla's cars. support has grown. it alerts you when you're not that same poll shows 73% say paying attention. the national highway traffic trump can beat biden in a safety investigation did a two rematch up 8 points since on the. year investigation, and they so the more trump gets embroiled said they need more. is so a software update will and is out front in these legal fights, his support is growing, give drivers more alert. and now more voters are saying he can absolutely beat biden. stuart: they don't have to taken the car to everybody. and he's leaving desantis, lauren: no. it's done over the air. haley and the in the dust. investors don't care about recalls. stuart: one more for you lauren. there's been 26 million recalls this year. they only care when they're, a,

true invasion and crisis at our own southern border. he simply said i'm here. but instead, this president gets ready to speak. on an america last agenda, i don't know -- the camera is continues to prioritize things following him, he's getting back lake ukraine as opposed to the into an suv. i can see it on the monitor. american citizens knowing the whether that means he's going in fentanyl crisis -- to congress or going home, we stuart: don't of you have don't know at this stage. leverage? you've got leverage now. he gets no ukraine finish. so he -- it is possible that if >> well, you would think we have he does not go into that closed door hearing, he could be held leverage, but then again this is a guy who wanted to actually in contempt of congress. shoot down the d.c. crime bill. this will develop throughout the this is the guy who's been morning. let's see what happens. threatening to veto bills when change the subject. we went to go allocate $14.3 at the cop28 climate summit, countries agreed to transition away from the irs to help away from fossil fuels. israel, they refused to take it climate guy marc morano joins me up. they'd rather arm their irs now. agents. and so we don't have the the media a is hailing this as a leverage. huge one because fossil fuels when you have two primary were mentioned in the final democrats in the senate, mitch communique. i think the meeting was a fail mcconnell and chuck schumer, off, what say you? >> it depends on how you look at who continue to stay on the same song and dance that d.c. has it. on what scale. i think it's a failure9 in the seen forever which is the sense they wanted a complete phaseout agreed to of all fossil biden-america last ageneral -- fuels, but as we know, saudi agenda. arabia was not into that, the so is, no, unfortunately, as long as the republicans in the cop president was not going to be part of that. house, we've also seen where of course, china was pushing for
