9:01 am
campaign travel as the administration's poll numbers sink while the border crisis reaches critical levels with thousands of migrants arriving every day and released into the country. welcome to fox news live. i'm griff jenkins. hey, jacqui. jacqui: good to be with you, i'm jacqui heinrich. in a victory for trump, and the 2024 election cycle. alex has this for us. >> let's start with the drive by the biden-harris campaign. it offered bullet points and did not hold back. inside the maga plan to attack and ban the abortion pill. tying the former president to restrictive abortion policies. the biden team says the campaign as a whole will hit
9:02 am
full steam by early summer, but a push is evident now to connect more so with black and hispanic voters. yesterday the president commuted the sentences of 11 people in prison for nonviolent drug offenses and on wednesday touted bidenomics with a focus on minority businesses. >> it's a fundamental break from trickle down economics, economics that super charged my -- was super charged by my predecessor, the guy who thinks we're polluting the blood of americans these days. he cut taxes for the wealthy and big corporations, shipped good paying jobs overseas, shrank public investment in infrastructure and education. >> that was said at the same time they linked statements trump made to hitler. and president biden knows that the border is a political problem for him and announced thursday he's sending top officials to mexico to discuss
9:03 am
that. this is happening as the supreme court handed a win of sorts to his leading opponent yesterday. the decision was made not to fast track a claim by former president trump that he's immune from plotting to overthrow the 2020 election. that means it heads back to federal appeals court and delays the start date and jack smith made clear he wants the trial to happen before the presidential election. it may not. jacqui: we will be watching. it's hard to map out any sort of a calendar at this point. >> early summer they're saying get prepared, but we're seeing a trickle here and there. jacqui: a lot to still come on this. alex, thanks so much. . griff: record numbers of migrants at the border as alex mentioned with cvp sources predicting another record number in december. meanwhile, customs and border protection say over 240,000 people were apprehended at the border last month, setting a record for the highest november
9:04 am
on record. for more on this, let's bring in former acting ice director, tom holman and a fox news contributor. i want to get to the numbers. we got the november numbers, the december numbers are on track to break all records and might see a 300,000 month. what do you make of the situation right now? because what all of my border patrol sources are telling me, literally all of them, this is truly a breaking point the likes of which we've never seen. >> well, look, i think you're right. i think december when those numbers come in, it will be the highest month in history of any month of any year, and the border patrol is going to be 100 years old in another four months. and the border patrol is broke. i was down in texas, with texas dps two weeks ago and i've talked to many border patrol agents. they're broke.
9:05 am
their spirits are broke. these men and women are beyond, you know, any hope of any help from this administration. they feel like they've been abandoned by the president, they've been abandoned by the secretary of homeland security. their process in illegal aliens, 24/7 all they're doing and such a hurry to process. i talked to a few agents who says they're not looking through pocket trash anymore for information, intelligence information, struggling who they're paying and where they're going. they're not able to do a deep dive into identification. you know, griff, they throw the identification south of the border and they have an investigation into who they are. they can't do that. they're in a push to process quick and causing another national security failure who the people really are and why they're here. griff: tom, you know, this is an example of what's breaking their spirit. this is a picket i posted, this
9:06 am
is from eagle pass a few days ago, this is a migrant, a got-away. the cameras that the border patrol has at remote headquarters area and they can see things. they had no agents to respond to this guy broad daylight walking across the border about 15 to 20 miles north of the port of entry where we see thousands upon thousands arriving, literally saw a guy carrying a rifle and they could not send anyone to apprehend him because they had nobody, tom. this is not the job that the border patrol agents signed up for and it's really just a snapshot how bad it is and yet, secretary mayorkas says he's going to mexico to try to fix things. is he going to do anything? the mexican folks are broke, they're out of money. >> well, look, just this week, i know of four different sectors, four sectors on the southwest border where there
9:07 am
wasn't a single border patrol agent on patrol. not one. we're talking hundreds of miles of border with no patrol because they're all processing. and going to mexico, and having another meeting it just -- you don't need any more meetings. mexico doesn't want to help us. mexico made $61 billion last year in add miss-- admittance payments, and law enforcement, a lot are corrupt. a lot of the military is corrupt and a lot of the government is corrupt and making a mint on this, and being paid by the cartels. they need to have the remain in mexico and highest court said it's legal. and it's a game changer. if they want to change the border, put it in effect tomorrow, that would be a difference in securing the border. griff: you talk about meetings. house speaker mike johnson is
9:08 am
apparently going to go in early january, i believe on january 3rd, down to eagle pass to hold a press conference to do some sort of something, is this going to do anything? >> you know, i'm sick and tired of dog and pony shows, right? i'm sick of all of them. look, stay in d.c. and do your job. midterms were run on impeaching mayorkas, i've been calling or impeachment for two years, if they can impeach president trump for a phone call, they can impeach mayorkas for this since 9/11. and impeach the secretary, that needs to be done. you made a promise to get it done. having another dog and pony show on the border doesn't mean s squat. we all know what's happening on the border, take some action, impeach secretary mayorkas and that's what you should be doing. griff: lastly, before we run out of time. i released information this
9:09 am
week, cvs,sources tell me 386,000 notices to appear. so they released 386,000 out of 698,000 apprehensions, so that's more than half and meanwhile, you've got almost 80,000 got-aways, could another administration, could you, if you came back in, could anybody house these people or do we just have to let them go because they are such high numbers? >> well, that's why you ended cash and release and remain in mexico because you don't have the numbers. william la jeunesse did a great story i don't know if you have seen it i worked with him on it. there are thousands of empty ice beds paid for, a facility in california, 2,000 bed facility. they've got six people there. nearly 2,000 empty beds already paid for by the taxpayers. but they're going to sit empty while they release people and put them in new york city hotels $500 a night. this isn't mismanagement, this is by design.
9:10 am
if you don't detain them, if they're not in detention they'll never leave they'll wait for the next amnesty and give away and over and over again. end catch and release, they've got thousands of empty beds paid for by the taxpayers. griff: they need to fill them. tom homan, thank you. have a merry christmas as we think about the border patrol agents around the clock giving up time with their families to try to do what they can in a situation that's clearly surging out of control. thank you. >> god bless the border patrol. griff: jacqui. jacqui: thanks, griff. the supreme court rejecting jack smith's request yesterday to fast track argument whether former president trump is immune from prosecution. bill barr weighed in how this can affect trump moving forward. >> if he wins the presidency and you know, he will be able
9:11 am
to deal with these cases, they will not be a barrier to him continuing to serve as president. jacqui: for more on this we're joined by former u.s. attorney guy lewis. thank you so much, guy, for being with us. just to start off, the sound bite you heard from bill barr, does that sound to you as if trump if he were to win the election could pardon himself or simply saying none of the cases will be-- will preclude him from holding office? what's your take? >> no, jacqui, i think he's saying very clearly that listen, these cases will not go forward under trump. one way or the other, whether it's pardoning himself, whether it's granting himself immunity, whether it's firing jack smith, the special prosecutor, and saying these cases had no merit. whether it's reassigning the case to his own appointed attorney general.
9:12 am
there would be a lot of options where trump could engage in the legal battle here and make the cases go away. jacqui: so you assume then that his position assumes that trump would win the election. what if he doesn't? >> great question. so, look, i think trump's strategy clearly is to drag all of these cases out, all of the indicted cases, all investigations out as long as he possibly can, that gives him more options, and indeed, you know, what's ironic about this, jacqui, every time he gets charged. what happens to his poll numbers? they seem to go up. so if i'm trump from a political standpoint, i keep dragging this thing out as long as i can. jacqui: what does it tell you that the decision didn't have any notable defense, didn't get a breakdown, i mean, in what the sort of reasoning was behind it. what are we to take away from
9:13 am
that? >> that's right. so, listen, this is-- if i'm jack smith, i'm in my office today licking my wounds. this is not, this is not, jacqui, how you want to play your first inning in front of the supreme court. you've gone in there and if you read the underlying brief, what's so fascinating, it's dramatic. i mean, he basically tells the justices, this is critical. this is so important, he cites richard nixon and the tapes and how the court has to act and has to act now. well, as far as we know, seven justices looked at it and said, you know what? not very persuasive to me, not a good way to start the baseball game. jacqui: is it an indicating how it would rule when it finally does reach the supreme court? >> well, that's a-- boy, that's the real question. i think there is some indication there. i think if they found his petition persuasive, then you
9:14 am
would have seen some people come in and say, look, even though there may be five or six that say, hey, let it go, let it go, the normal course. the regular course, a couple of three people might have dissented there and said, no, no, we need to take this up. we need to take it up now. that didn't happen here. jacqui: i want to ask you about this effort in colorado to remove trump from the ballot there. this is not the only state where he's facing this kind of litigation, if you can look on our screen. i mean, you've got pending litigation in all the yellow. voluntary dismissal by the plaintiff in the darker green, dismissed in orange, pending appeal in the light green and then trump disqualified, obviously, in colorado. what does this tell you, just sort of about the legal landscape that trump is going to face in the run-up to the election and how that could impact the election itself? not just-- take away for a moment how people will respond to this and
9:15 am
vote, but you know, legally speaking? does this represent a problem for him? >> well, i would normally-- normally, i would say yes, it presents a problem, but for the fact every time he seems to encounter a legal obstacle, a legal problem, i mean, getting indicted, for example, by federal grand jury would tend to conventional wisdom would say, well, that's not very good and in trump's case, he raises money off of it. his poll numbers seem to go up and as one of the other candidates said, a few days ago, he pulls the objexygen outf the room because of this. normally i'd say yes, not a good thing, but in this case, i think that trump is exploiting this and i think you're going to see this through-- i hate to see this, but you're going to see this through next year and into the summer and fall, jacqui. jacqui: if there's anything
9:16 am
that represents the biggest threat legally. how do you sort of stack it up in your mind? there's a lot to look at if you're involved in following all of these cases and challenges and what not, your average person on the street might not be able to list off in order of importance, what the biggest problems are. how do you see it? >> i put at the bottom of the list the state cases out of georgia and the one that he's involved in in new york right now. i just, i think those cases are weak. i don't think they're going to result in any movement on the needle. i was -- listen, i was always thinking that the special counsel's cases would be the most difficult, they would go to trial the quickest. they're going to take him out of the election and the-- out of the campaigning, the opportunities to campaign, but that said, geez, i just don't
9:17 am
see anything knocking the guy down. it's almost like he's got teflon, like the old mafia boss out of new york, the more you charge him, the stronger he gets. jacqui: yeah, all right. well, we will continue to watch all of this. guy lewis, i appreciate your time on a saturday. >> merry christmas to you. jacqui: you as well. griff. griff: in a major victory for democrats, the wisconsin supreme court overturned republican drawn legislative maps with justices ordering new district boundary lines being drawn. the ruling comes in a key battle ground state where four of the six past presidential elections have been decided by fewer than 23,000 votes, jacqui. jacqui: well, griff, there are increasing signs of daylight between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu as israel ramps up attacks on hamas in gaza. more on that next. balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health.
9:18 am
and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. (♪) a force to be reckon with. no, not you saquon. hm? you! your business bank account with quickbooks money, now earns 5% apy. 5% apy? that's new! yup, that's how you business differently. my husband and i have never been more active. shingles doesn't care. i go to spin classes with my coworkers. good for you, shingles doesn't care.
9:19 am
because no matter how healthy you feel, your risk of shingles sharply increases after age 50. but shingrix protects. proven over 90% effective, shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. shingles doesn't care but, shingrix protects. shingrix is now zero dollars for almost everyone. ask your doctor about shingrix today.
9:20 am
9:21 am
>> welcome back. fighting continues in northern gaza as the united nations security council appeals for more aid to gaza. for senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot has more on this. >> it's a pretty stormy night in tel aviv, but there are very rough battles going on down
9:22 am
south in gaza. they're intensifying the fight with hamas and today they announced they killed a top weapons smuggler for the group and zeroing in on the headquarters down in the south and trying to finish off strong holds in the north where the militants had been holding on. israel apparently not restrained by yesterday's resolution in the u.n. security council, calling for a humanitarian pause. it was toned down enough to have the u.s. go along with it via an abstention. crit six say not strong enough for the aid to gaza. and hamas supported iranian backed houthi fighters in the red sea. an iranian spy vessel is real-time information to the rebels. an israeli linked ship in the arabian sea. israel is getting help of a
9:23 am
four-legged kind. army dogs with body cameras are sniffing out the tunnels, terrorists and possibly hostages. and in bethlehem it's more subdued in manger square, no tree, no lights, very few tourists and very few celebrations as the night goes on. there will be a midnight mass and a hope for peace. jacqui, a lot of hope and fighting as well. jacqui: it is the season for hope. greg palkot, thank you so much. griff. griff: jacqui and greg, for more on this, let's bring in former israeli prime minister and currently the leader of the opposition in the israeli knesset, thank you for being here as we go into, i believe it's day 78 into the war. i want your reaction of what transpired here in what appeared to be a watered down resolution from the u.n.
9:24 am
>> yes, well, you know what, if they're going to have resolutions in the u.n. why don't they start with imposing the ones before? we've been talking about the u.n. forever and ever now about resolution 1701 on the northern border in lebanon. this has been there for a decade now. nobody is complying to this resolution. so, if they just want to talk to themselves, it's fine by us, but if they're taking resolutions seriously, they should start by making sure that they're imposing the resolutions they had before. griff: has the u.n. gone far enough in condemning hamas? it doesn't appear their language was really quite forceful about what happened on october 7th. >> this is, you know what? it's amazing to me. you know, they had the security council was gathered because the u.n. secretary-general gutierrez used what they called
9:25 am
article 99 which is a very, very rare article he can use in order to have the security council gathering. now, they didn't use it in syria. half a million people killed. they didn't use it in the congo, four million people killed. didn't use it in darfor, and they're using it when the jews are attacked and killed and using against the jews in israel. it's amazing to me the united nations is acting the way they are. griff: let's talk about what's happening in israel now. there are signs that the economy is having struggles now with so many israelis called up for reserve duty with palestinians not being a part of the full work force, coming out of places like the west bank. what is your assessment of the war's impact on israel right now? >> well, let's tell our enemies not to hold their hopes too high. the israeli economy is strong, the israeli society is strong
9:26 am
and even the differences we do have due to the fact that we are a vital and vibrant democracy and our economy is a very advanced economy, they high-tech economy and it can endure whatever it takes in order for us to win this war and especially to bring back the hostages. this is, you know, when society like israel is totally focused on achieving a goal, we will prevail. griff: let's talk about leadership, from the early days you were not wanting to put any daylight between yourself and prime minister netanyahu. but now, it appears at least from your social media, that it may be time for someone else to lead israel. what is your thought? well, there is a reason, of course, why i've decided to stay in the opposition and not to join the netanyahu government and i have my thoughts what kind of leadership we need these days. if you excuse me, griff, i feel uncomfortable discussing this
9:27 am
in international media while the country is at war. on the war, you're right, there is no daylight. two goals, the total eradication of hamas, and bringing back the hostages back to their homes and to their family. griff: and i completely understand wanting to, you know, not in the international media talk about it. i guess where i was kind of going with that question, we've heard talk when will there be the next election in israel? are we nearing the time for a new election or not? >> well, i would say 2024 is an election year not only in the united states, but also in israel. i think what has happened to us on october the 7th is earth moving and has changed the israeli society forever and there will be, as a consequence, a political result to it. so, yes, i think we're going to an election. you know what? it's part of being a democracy. democracies can have an
9:28 am
election, even during war time. the united states has been through election, even during world war ii, which is the greatest war in the history of humankind. griff: and i just want to get in the time remaining, your sense of how the families are doing. the hostages are still being held. the families of the victims that were killed, how is the spirit of israel and how are those families doing? >> you know, it's heart breaking. i'm sitting with the families on a daily basis discussing this with them. griff, do you have children? >> i do, two daughters. >> so, just imagine, one day somebody's breaking into your house, taking your two daughters and they disappear for 80 days. and you don't know if they're alive or dead or the daughters-- i don't want to go in there, but where things can happen. so this is what is happening to the families. it's devastating beyond belief and the entire country is in a
9:29 am
constant -- it's just sorrow, sadness in the air. we are at the new year coming and everybody is just sad. sad and devastated and trying to figure out what kind of people are doing this, taking children from their homes and holding them hostages in a religious war. griff: and should you be part of an election cycle forth coming, what will be your message to the israeli people, those that have been so sad that are now making such great sacrifices as you try and get to some sort of end goal with the situation in gaza? >> it's a great question. well, i say the answer is, we have been in tough spots before. even tougher than this. my grandfather died in the concentration camp when my father was a child in the budapest ghetto. we've been to places no other nation has been to and we've always prevailed and we've
9:30 am
always found the strength within ourselves to rebuild and to rejoice and to become something new and even better than before. so, even this tough spot we're in is going to become the opening of the starting point with something greater and better. israel is going to be fine. griff: that's the spirit of resolve and one we've seen time and again for israel. thank you for taking time and joining us and happy holidays to you. >> happy holidays, happy new year, griff. jacqui: great interview, griff. an oversight committee is looking into the osprey program, follows in japan where eight air force special operations were killed. more than 50 u.s. service members have died in osprey crashes over the life span of
9:31 am
the programs and 20 of the deaths happened in the last 20 months in four crashes. griff. griff: calling ought christmas shopping procrastinators. full disclosure, i might be one. millions of americans are expected to shop online and in search of last minute christmas gifts. we'll get into the numbers coming up. ty much the same, but at fisher investments we're clearly different. (other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher investments. (other money manager) ok, then you probably sneak in some hidden and layered fees. (fisher investments) no. we structure our fees so we do better when clients do better. that might be why most of our clients come from other money managers. at fisher investments, we're clearly different. the all-in-one and done symptom relief of mucinex is delivered fast with doordash to the comfort of your couch. slow down!... i mean (coughs) slow down!
9:32 am
ahh! watch it! ♪ come on! a hero will answer the call... (laughs) you just have to answer the door. oof! that was fast. ♪ mucinex available on doordash. ahh! it's comeback season.
9:33 am
marlo thomas: my father founded saint jude children's research hospital because he believed no child should die in the dawn of life. in 1984, a patient named stacy arrived, and it began her family's touching story that is still going on today. vicki: childhood cancer, it's just hard. stacey passed on christmas day of 1986. there is no pain like losing a child, but saint jude gave us more years to love on her each day. marlo thomas: you can join the battle to save lives. for just $19 a month, you'll help us continue the lifesaving research
9:34 am
and treatment these kids need now and in the future. jessica: i remember as a child, walking the halls of saint jude, and watching my sister fight for her life. we never imagined that we would come back. and then my son charlie was diagnosed with ewing's sarcoma. vicki: i'm thinking, we already had a catastrophic disease in our family. not my grandson too. marlo thomas: st. jude has helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% when it opened to 80% today. join with your credit or debit card for only $19 a month, and we'll send you this saint jude t-shirt that you can proudly wear to show your support. jessica: for anybody that would give, the money is going towards research, and you are the reason my child is here today. charlie: i was declared-- this will be two years cancer free. but there's thousands and thousands of kids who need help.
9:35 am
saint jude, how many lives they do save is just so many. marlo thomas: charlie's progress warms my heart, but memories of little angels like stacy are why we need your help. please become a saint jude partner in hope right now. [music playing] >> millions of americans are expected to shop both online and in stores. today, known as super saturday with just two days until christmas. our own madison scarpino is talking with people about their shopping this season. hey, madison. >> hey, griff. malls are expecting today to be potentially busier than black friday. if you haven't gotten the last items on your gift list, it's definitely better to do it sooner rather than later today. i can tell you at least from the mall here in atlanta, the
9:36 am
crowds are growing by the minute and as you said, really just two days before christmas. the national retail federation says this is the first time since 2017 that super saturday has been right before the holiday. the association expects that over140 million people are doing some last minute shopping today. they say that shoppers will spend around $875 on average this year. about $620 on gifts an a little over $250 on decorations, candy and food. overall, that's about $42 more than consumers plan to spend last year. and one thing shoppers don't have to worry about this time around is low inventory, which means more deals. >> that's something that we haven't seen over the past few years because goods have been short and we haven't seen so many discounts. it's a great time to be a consumer. >> we are starting to see people waiting a little bit
9:37 am
longer and people are trying to stretch those dollars and want to make sure that they're taking advantage of the promotional deals that are available to them. >> now, the financial company nerd wallet says that three out of every four shoppers will be using a credit card to buy gifts and a third making installment payments. come 2024, a lot of people are going to be focusing on paying off debt, griff. griff: i've got a feeling, madison, i'm going to overspend $42 since i haven't started by shopping, it's getting busier by the minute, but, hey, if it benefits the economy and the gift recipient. madison live for us at the mall, jacqui. jacqui: for more on the state of our economy this season, we're joined by madison ventures plus managing director mitch roschelle. thank you for being with us, appreciate your time. >> good to see you. jacqui: i want to start with the stock market. it's doing really great.
9:38 am
if you look at the s&p 500 we are on the longest weekly win streak since 2017. so, that's you know, significant, especially if you're president biden to be able to point to something like that, but at the same time the condition of the economy in people's eyes is not so great. if you look at our fox polling, 78% of people feel that the economy is only in fair or poor condition. and if you look at their expectations for the next year, you have only 22% of people thinking it's going to get better. 44% think it's going to get worse. can you explain for us why the stock market's doing so well, but people are still feeling pretty grim? >> well, look, let's start, j jacqui with why it's doing well. the fed is signaling they'll lower interest rates in 2024 and the stock market is getting ahead of that. the stock market is not
9:39 am
necessarily a reflection of today's economy. what it's often a reflection of is the future economy, and one would think, wow, that bodes well for 2024. but i think it's really back and it's per se the economy. back to those polls, i think the polls speak the truth. the polls tell you what americans feel and i don't know that what the stock market is doing today will be what the stock market is doing tomorrow. and when we get into 2024, especially closer to november, i think, you know, voter sentiment about the economy is going to be very important because if you look at the polling, that's the number they want to show. >> basically feeling that wall street is feeling pretty good and rates are coming down and easier to do business, but main street is not feeling so hopeful because why? because prices haven't come down yet? why is it that people are not feeling great yet? >> yeah, and i think it's
9:40 am
largely because while inflation has slowed down, the pace of inflation, the year over year growth and prices have slowed down. prices haven't come down and wages haven't kept pace with inflation. and madison, about what's going on with people shopping, something telling. people are shopping, but they're either a third of them putting it on credit cards or buy now, pay later and that's what's going on in our economy. people continuing to borrow money at record paces. and the amount of credit card bills outstanding across this country is a trillion dollars. so, i think people really feel it day in, day out. maybe retail therapy is what's going on in the malls today, but you know, truly when wages don't keep up with inflation and eggs and bread are still a lot more than they were a couple of years ago, that's why you get that polling. jacqui: so square this for me. because you hear the biden administration saying that wages are up and inflation is
9:41 am
down and that things are going pretty well. i mean, they've often tout that the u.s. has the strongest economic recovery of any major economy in the world. i mean, obviously, on their heels over inflation for many, many months now. if you look at the consumer price index, this graph will show you things are headed in a positive direction. you're at 3.1% inflation. i think this is the first time, correct me if i'm wrong, since before the pandemic that we were at a number this low. so, is there some truth to what the president is saying and the biden administration is saying? or has all-- have all of the numbers not really trickled down to actually what you're paying at the register yet in terms of your full basket of goods and factoring in energy and housing and more volatile things, explain that for us. >> well, here is the most important thing. inflation is accumuaccumulatie.
9:42 am
think about it what was said, i hate to talk about high school calculus on a saturday, but what we're talking about when we look at that chart is the rate of growth of inflation, so the rate of growth of inflation, the numbers have not gone away. the prices haven't come down, they're going up at a slower pace and the biden administration-- >> pretty close to 2%, right. >> no, you know what. jacqui: go ahead. >> two is normal and we're getting closer to two. but that's the hardest thing to do is to really sort of stick the landing and i think what people are feeling is the fact that, you know, the basic necessities, home, you know, home prices, rent, food, those are the items that are still high relative to wages and you asked the question about wages, yeah, wages are up, but the real wages, meaning, you know,
9:43 am
