5:00 pm
this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments. they're promises. promises of all shapes and sizes. each, with a time and a place they've been promised to be. a promise is everything to old dominion, because it means everything to you. larry: i don't understand how yo can bring charges against donald trump in washington dc and move the whole grand jury to a different place in south florida. that's dirty pool. makes no sense at all. you'll have to watch liz mcdonald to figure out that and many other conundrums. elizabeth: thank you, larry. that doesn't sound like due process. larry: there you go. that's the right word. elizabeth: thank you, larry. we're staying on the stories larry just raised and we've got breaking news coming in. welcome to the show our panel former assistant tom dupre and new york post columnist john
5:01 pm
levee. tom, this 2024 race, it's trump's economy versus bidens in the part-times and the polls show voters are getting numb to this. politico reporting more charges from special council jack smith potentially coming against trump. the grand jury meeting on trump's finances and potential fundraising off contesting the 2020 election. this feels like overload, tom. what do you think? >> yeah, liz, look at polls. there's certainly indictment fatigue among republicans and, you know, it's just so much. all coming everywhere at once. jack smith is clearly no bob muller. he's not a hamlet guy that's ringing his hands wonder hag he should do. he's being very aggressive and filing multiple charges in multiple jurisdictions. he's filed superseding indictments and now it sounds like he's poised to launch another round of charges either against former president trump or against the unindicted coconspirators in the january 6
5:02 pm
indictment. there's a lot going on and we're nowhere near the end in my view. elizabeth: john, this feels like vicious dc politics going off the rails. voters go into the voting booth and say what are you going to do for me? this might be the wackiest 2024 race in modern u.s. history and tram has legal battles in three states and dc. what are you thinking? now they're talking about more action out of the special council. what do you think, john? >> what's dangerous and disturbing here is we're using the courts to settle things that should be political issues. like for january 6 for example, we had a january 6 commission president trump was impeached over january 6, he was acquitted in a senate trial. this is stuff that we already adjudicated and now because we didn't get an outcome we wanted, a special council is filing new charges to try and put trump in jail over the issue when really if january 16 a big deal and it's something we should care about, that's something ultimately the voters should decide in the voting booth. what we're seeing from the polls as tom mention second-degree every time there's a new
5:03 pm
indictment, the poll numbers go up and he's polling over 50% in the republican field and he can take any of the candidates head-to-head. it's very damous precedent to set because -- dangerous precedent to set because when another party takes power, you can see political is issues and it's third world to treat things in the court like this. elizabeth: and treating theming singuroly that they're happeninn the bell jar and shut down businesses without due process and big box stores like cost koenen and wal-mart -- costco and wal-mart allowed to stay open and little guys were not. angry over the social justice riots that killed 40 people and destroyed billions in businesses and small businesses and angry over the democrats changing the voting rules that, you know, elections come in a week later after the fact. they were angry too about how trump has been railroaded from day one. they wanted to impeach trump within months of him taking
5:04 pm
office. gop lawmakers say they don't agree with what trump said the day of around the capitol riots but you cannot treat them distinctly and separate, especially when you watch democrats acting like this. watch. >> we have some video to play that highlights some of what i'm talking about. i'm showing you this to make the point that all political speech must be protected. >> the uprisings all over the country and maybe there will be. >> needs to bun rest for the streets as long as there's unrest in our lives. >> in high school, i could take you mind the gym. >> i will go and take trump out tonight. >> take him out now. >> tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere. >> got to be ready to throw a punch. elizabeth: that's nancy pelosi saying throw a punch. stuart varney made the point and polls show there's a strong belief biden and democrats are using the power of government to crush trump from day one right
5:05 pm
after he took office. >> liz, so many of these charges have already been aired before. we heard them at the january 6 committee and didn't have appreciable impact on the poll stands and now what we'll have is we're going to have two new groups brought in to adjudicate what former president trump did in the weeks leading up to january 6. we're going to have a dc jury apparently we'll have the voters in their own way making a decision. not just on whatever some jury assembled to ajulie indicate them to decide, but what -- adjudicate them and the special council is in a race against the clock to try and get this case all tried, signed, sealed and delivered before the voters have their say in november. elizabeth: yeah, before the voters have they say. john, you're making the same point. voters see the debunked trump
5:06 pm
russia case and all the timing of the indictments of the suspect and then see the silencing of irs and government agents pursuing biden's corrupt family financing. government whistle blowers and irs whistle blowers on doj blockading probes getting close to biden and tipping off the biden family and sweet heart plea deals of hunter biden and the laptop coverup of 2020. this is unfair and illegitimate by a growing number of people they're saying. >> this is the credibility and the indictments for trump and someone like hunter biden after a six year probe two slap on the wrist misdemeanors and hillary clinton never faced any official prosecution or indictments for her alleged misconduct. the voters aren't buying it and in the 2024 election, joe biden has to explain what's the deal and where's the boff and why is my son getting special treatment
5:07 pm
and i was dishonest when i said i had no involvement in the overseas business dealing ands at end of the day, the voters are the ones to weigh in here. elizabeth: they didn't get to weigh on on what was going on with the biden family deal making, tom, that the new york post broke that story and house oversight chair james comer and he's promising to release more biden family bank roads that show they may have made up to $40 million in overseas deal making and cnn reporting "many house gop lawmakers will move to try and impeach biden this fall". listen to kevin mccarthy on this. watch this. >> i don't know of any other family that puts together in government 20 shell companies while you're the vice president of america. my family has nohell companies. what do you produce? you don't produce any products. if you're an expert when it comes to foreign policy, why isn't italy report uk or france hiring you? why is it just ukraine, russia, china, romania? why is then at the time
5:08 pm
advocating and putting your family members on boards. elizabeth: what do you think, tom, final word? >> my final word is, look, i think congress is doing the job you'd hope the jus dis-department would do advancing the ball and uncovering the evidence and sharing findings and blockbuster testimony and documents with the american people. elizabeth: got it, thank you, gentlemen, for joining us tonight. good to have you on. >> thank you. elizabeth: floor's media chair editor in chief steve forbes, my former boss. steve, now this story is coming in. politico breaking the news, white house insiders are saying bidenomics is not catching on with voters but, you know, steve, next week they want to celebrate the an verse of inflation reduct action hawaii do you think? reduction act. what do you think? >> like the mets celebrating the world series right now and people say it's not happening and they think they can go around to the american people saying they have a lot of great spending programs and standards of living are not going up and convince the american people that all is well.
5:09 pm
you know, herbert hoover in the great depression was accused of saying, which he didn't, saying prosperity is just around the corner. trust us. no, the american people don't and when they say inflation is slowing, that means prices are going up and people are noticing at the gas pump, prices are going up again. elizabeth: now there's cnn poll. two-thirds of cnn voters that vnn polled disapprove of biden and 51% of economy in the downturn getting worse. then moodies downgrading the banks and dealing with inflation from government overspend. steve, feels like the economy is on a loop, what do you think? >> the economy is suffering from the economic equivalent of walking pneumonia. some parts are doing okay but other parts are not. when you have the head winds out there and federal reserve is raising interest rates again, they still believe you fight
5:10 pm
inflation by depressing the economy and making people poorer. coping with a lot of debt coming due. they have to renegotiate interest rates and consumer debt is rising and interest rates on mortgages are inching up again and look at the scene and wonder where the real push comes from. yeah, the government can spend money but where do they get it from. elizabeth: do you see more u.s. banks failing because moodies downgraded ten banks and warned six other big banks of a possible downgrade. we understand that the fight over validity of downgrades and feels like bank consumer lending is hitting a wall and american haves lost 17% of their spending power under biden. fanny mae says 8 out of 10 don't feel good about buying a house right now, it's too expensive. more potential u.s. bank failures?
5:11 pm
l >> well, there'll be some banks getting in trouble after all we had a generation of suppressed interest rates. a lot of loans were based on the fact that interest rates would stay low forever. they didn't. now the piper is coming that has to be paid with higher rates. also banks are being hit with more regulation. they're having to put aside more capital. that means less lending at a time when the economy is slow, faltering, even if you're joe biden, you don't want those kind of head winds but regulators are creating them by saying to banks, put more money aside, which means less money for consumers and less for businesses and less economic growth. even the white house should be able to understand that simple arithmetic. elizabeth: steve, you've been studying administrations for a long time. what do you make of what government did showing because before the pandemic, under trump, median household incomes rose to highest level ever, that was in 2019. the poverty rate hit an all time low.
5:12 pm
more americans were employed than ever before. jobless rates were african americans, mis-panics, americans and without a high school diploma, they got more jobs and those jobless rates hit lows and blue collar boom. how does the trump economy stack up against biden and other economies? >> difference between day and night and two big things is help make day and night. >> it's destroying the economy and government revenues went up and not down and government revenues are not meeting expectations and the deficit is worse and not just because of spending and north carolina isn't coming in. the other big thing that trump administration did was deregulation and we should be producing example with millions of barrel of oil today and lowering pump prices rather than the biden administration waging war against the biggest asset
5:13 pm
and huge deposits of oil and gas. it's insane and the idea that transportation department, liz, came out with a 696 page rule that's going to ban gasoline powered trucks and cars by 2032. new ones. in is insane. it can't happen. they'll destroy the economy doing it. 696 pages. what are they thinking! elizabeth: who's going to read that . they don't even read it. steve, we love reading your stuff. steve, i could talk to you all night. thanks for coming on. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: coming up, o'leery ventures chair, kevin o'leary and kevin produce and the trump chicago and biden botching the u.s. economy and today, biden tries to blame "maga extremists in congress for problems with his green energy agenda as

elizabeth: look who's here, kevin o'leary and tammy bruce. thank you both for joining us tonight and helping us out with the segment. first to you, kevin, electric cool bus company protera heavily backed by the biden white house goes bankrupt but biden blames "maga extremist in congress for his again energy deal hitting a wall". ford and siemens reporting heavy losses. what do you think, keen? >> independ voters and republicans and democrats have figured out transition to green will take longer than originallally proposed by any administration and these bankruptcy ss --bankruptcies ind
5:19 pm
and solar are costing way more. what's the narrative now? this will be very much debated in the presidential election is what is the transition really look like? how much more do we have to invest in hydrocarbons because i'd suggest we have to do a lot more in refineries a lot more in pipeline and bringing oil to places where we're secure and independent and probably takes us from 12 million-barrel as day up to 18. that doesn't fit into the current narrative of green for anybody, but it is a reality that voters are figuring out after watching what happened in germany and what could happen next year in ukraine and all the rest of that. security of energy matters. i think this is the beginning of a very healthy debate. elizabeth: yeah, and, tammy, you need all oil and gas, fossil fuel powered electricity plants to power all the electric cars. tammy, i want you to listen. let's get your reaction to biden
5:20 pm
today. watch this. >> we've provided a record $50 billion for climate resiliency but the maga extremist congress trying to undo the progress. not a single republican voted for the inflation reduction act that had all this money for climate. now many of them are trying to repeal the provisions. we're not going to let that happen. elizabeth: what do you think, tammy? >> it's a vague term, isn't it, for climate. throw money at climate and can make it an emergency and do even more of that with whatever money it is they're spending as we know now what the debt is and. and money and inflation to ukraine and this effort to socially engineer society has always failed and it does not work. you've got to let the marketplace make a decision about what it wants to buy. it feels a bit like the solindra debacle and carl yoon, the
5:21 pm
famous psychotherapists said they based their ideas on things that just happened in their brain and didn't really think about how to make it happen, what the impact would be or whether or not it was even good. it was a wish fantasy, whatever pops in your head. there's an issue about the cost of even electric batteries, functionality of them. if you're worried about climate, think about the nature of what you've got to dig up in order to make one battery. how long it'll last as you've mentioned of course, electricity. the nature of rolling blackouts that happen and we can't handle what we have right now as electric, and we want to put more on grids that are broken. it's a very strange but very political way to make people afraid to spend more money and to make people think that the opponent is the problem. elizabeth: it's like the common sense reduction act. we have a reduction in common sense. tammy, that deer hunting job she

did outlining all the issues. isn't it common sense, instead of field of dreams and forcing everyone to buy electric cars and surpass middle class incomes, should the push be to hybrid cars gas and electric? where are we seeing car makers moving ahead on the front. i want to give yuppies the names, toyota, nissan, honda and mazda. >> let the market be the market on hybrid electric or gasoline cars and let them transition based on economic needs of the economy. one thing is for sure and can never be debated. you cannot have you need every source that's economic and you have to be able to sustain a economy and create jobs and this debate starting now, you detailed beautifully and a major top three presidential election

i whys house trying to clean up a pr nightmare after gold star families unleash their furry over the biden white house's botched withdrawal from afghanistan but weightily you hear how they're responding to that testimony. let's get to fox news aishah live on capitol hill. reporter: good evening, elizabeth. these families are not getting an apology any time soon because the biden administration is digging their heels in and standing firm by the decisions they made. we know thousand from the white house the president and first lady, they want to honor the sacrifices of the 1 service members kill -- 13 service members killed in the attack, but they say the president made
5:29 pm
the tough decision to end the war in afghanistan because he wasn't going to send another generation of troops to fight and die in a conflict that had no end in sight. that's coming directly from the white house and the pentagon saying we're forever grateful for their service, sacrifice and committed efforts during the evacuation operations. meantime house republicans, elizabeth, on capitol hill say the gold star families deserve a whole lot more including accountability. >> i've had the ability through the house foreign affairs committee and armed service committee to review the 23 member dissent table where the state department own officials in kabul warned secretary state and others they went through the strategy and would ultimately meet some type of failure and loss of life. they're all preventable events. reporter: there was a press briefing today and at the meant
5:30 pm
gone and that's right of those brought up the gold star families. elizabeth: that's wild. thank you, aishah. mark schmidt, his son u.s. marine lance corporal jared schmidts 20 years old when murdered in the kabul airport attack. what do you make of the reporting, no apology from the white house, what do you think? >> doesn't surprise me the least bit. congressman issa did a wonderful thing and set them up yesterday and i had to miss it due to work unfortunately, the families spoke out and portraying my thoughts but the fact that the government with biden's office is sticking by their decision and doesn't surprise me in the least bit and i expect nothing less out of this administration. elizabeth: mark, we're sorry what happened. it's a disgrace what happened to junior son. there's a lot of criticism from gold star families and biden
5:31 pm
using a family tragedy as political capital again and biden repeatedly falsely claiming to afghanistan gold star parents that his son beau died in iraq. he did not. he died at walter reed hospital in 20 sackmary from brain cancer. biden has a four decade history of pl plagiarizing and misleadig america. >> cancer took his son and biden took mine. he'll never admit that . the man lies for a living and it's obvious. we have family members at dover when we were there to receive our children's bodies. that was the worst day of all of our lives and for him to sit there and have him talk to us about beau was the biggest insult. elizabeth: finish your thought, go ahead. >> i don't know any other way to put it. how do you, i think cheryl put it best, it was completely
5:32 pm
heartless and it was like getting a knife in the heart as said yesterday as well. being thrust into that situation and having the commander in chief you're supposed to look up to. there's nothing to look up to with this man. he has stripped by beautiful son away from me. we'll never see him get married or have kids, and my son would have been one hell of a father. certainly better than joe biden is a father. elizabeth: it's just horrendous what you and your family have been dealing with, mark. it's heart breaking. let's listen to cheryl rex, you mentioned cheryl rex and she was with us last night. let's also listen to sergeant tyler vargas-andrews. he is a marine that survived the bombing in kabul that killed 13 american soldiers and watch what they say happened with president biden. watch this. >> when joe biden entered the
5:33 pm
room, his words to me were my wife jill and i know how you feel. we lost our son as well and brought him home in a flag-draped coffin. my heart started beating faster and shaking knowing their son died in cancer and they were able to be by his side. also wondering how someone could honestly be so heartless to say he knew how i felt, a little over 24 hours in learning of my son's death. after this encounter, i have never had any personal correspondence nor has my son be honored or his name spoke by this commander in chief. >> my arm is gone. i don't have an arm and he says, oh, he was like, okay, that's weird. you know, almost immediately starts talk like about how their son served in the military. doesn't say anything about what happened. just start talking about how
5:34 pm
their son served in the military. and my mom is just like -- she's furious at this point. helenes over to me and he's this close to my face and he said what do you want? i'm confused and i got blown up. just [bleep] saw my friends die next to me. i just to want be myself. elizabeth: i just want to be myself. mark, what are you hearing from other military families about all this? >> well, many of the gold star families with us feel, i think, the same way as what most of the sentiments were yesterday and i can't speak for everyone but i've had a lot of gold star families that have reached out from before, and it's different for them. their son or daughter is killed in action. because of the gunfight. there's no explanation and getting them down on the line and it's incredible and it never
5:35 pm
should have happen and biden listening to the advisers and at this point their families are preaching from the hill tops this president has never even once in two years mentioned the names of our children out loud in public, ever. at this point, he doesn't deserve the right to do so. i don't want to hear him say my son's name. elizabeth: mark schmitz. thank you for joining us and sharing your son's story. we'll stay on it. thank you again. we appreciate it. we're going to turn to this, a major new breakthrough in treating alzheimer. also this, five big u.s. health systems are set to soon offer a separate breakthrough drug. also, columnist and author batya ungar-sargon, house republicans accusing the biden administration of major government abuse of taxpayers

5:41 pm
>> thanks for having me on, liz. love joining you here. who doesn't have to beg their works to come back is places that didn't lock down in the first place; right. only some people have this problem and you're right, there's a huge difference between government buildings, which are below 20% and the private sector, which is above 50% at this point. there's definitely that difference there. i will say that to me when i look at lockdowns and think about that horrible time, i don't see that as something that was driven by a political divide. to me that was class war far but the laptop cast and elites working from home in their computers in the pajamas and the works class that don't have that luxury and closed down the entire world and the working class people had to go out in the plague and bring them groceries and nothing to do and nowhere to go. one in five businesses closed down and class war far, liz, elites against t working class.
5:42 pm
elizabeth: house chair with comer and pete sessions, they're saying the biden white house is stone wal walling and they won'y how many government workers are still working from home. yeah, the chief of staff jeff zion sent a letter to all cabinet members saying they've got to bet back to desk jobs this fall, but it's either the government is simply not tracking this at all or government agencies refuse to turn over the data. which do you think it is, batya? >> well, it tells you how has the power. if you're a truck deliver you can't say i'm not coming in or i'm working from home. there's a lot of jobs where the worker haves the leverage and it's clear who's holding the reigns. you can't separate that from the way the biden administration thinks about labor. elizabeth: they're talking a lot about climate change and climate spending; right? goa found 17 government

headquarter buildings in dc either anywhere from 75% to 90% empty. nobody's in them. you can throw a bowling ball down their hall ways and not hit anybody. so what is going on with that? isn't there anybody watching the store? >> exactly and obviously the air conditioning is on in those buildings because if there's one person coming in, they're not going to shut all that down. the waste of energy, it's a great point you make, liz, and again reveals the absolute hypocrisy at work here w. they talk about climate just like when they talked about lockdowns, they act thick this comes from some place of virtue when it's not. it is class war far against the working class again and again and again from this administration. elizabeth: stay on the story with you, batya. we'll have you back on. good to see you. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: we have an exciting segment coming up, a feel-good story and dr. marty makary and another breakthrough in treating alzheimer and also this, five

goli, taste your goals. elizabeth: look who's back. we need dr. marty makary and his exexpertise on this breaking ne. what's your take on this new breakthrough treatment for alzheimers in great britain and turn off and silence the gene that creates the toxic protein that triggers alzheimers? what do you make of this, doctor? >> this is really interesting. thinking about the other alzheimer drugs that have been recently approved and they're creating an antibody to attack
5:49 pm
the plaque once it's for the purposed, but this new drug, it's early and in a phase one study, they're producing plaque production and had minimal side effects and if you think about the two new drugs that are generating a lot of excitement, both have a slowing of the progression of alzheimer but high rates of brain swelling and some form of brain bleed. this early phase i trial drug did not show those side effects. it showed 90% less plaque in the 14 people that got it and had alzheimer. elizabeth: it's the trial that's currently taking place? i think it's called rna interference. so it cuts down the levels of the dangerous amyloid precursor protein. you're talking about the production of it; right? stops from square one. is it working? >> that's right. yeah. it looks like it's promising, i mean, we're going to have to see if it translates into real
5:50 pm
clinical benefit. we've known for a long time that there are certain things that increase plaque production and reduce and increase the removal of plaque from the brain lifestyle issues like not getting good sleep and stress. those are minimal changes in the number of plaque. this is actually a gene therapy as you explained and it reduces or essentially halts plaque production, and then people think that may be the holy grail. it may not be entirely related to plaque production, but we think alzheimer is largely correlated with the number of plaques in your brain. elizabeth: interesting. now, what do you make of this, five, five major u.s. health systems roaders is reporting the story, these u.s. health systems would offer biogens promising new alzheimer drug will happen in the next month or two. they're talking the mayo clinic in minnesota, northwestern
5:51 pm
memorial in chicago and cedar sinai in la. what do you think? >> well, let's keep in mind that hospitals are making money on infusion services and they mark up the price of the actually drug. now, that doesn't mean the drug is no good. it does appear promising. lecannim ab had good results in the new england journal paper for men. we discussed in women, it had no statistical significance. two-thirds of people with alzheimer are women so that's important. the other drug was better overall and had a higher side effect profile and 24% of some people had some brain swelling and 31% of people had some form of brain bleed. it's not as simple as all people with alzheimer neat need to get the drug and a small select group, and i'm much more optimistic about the approach of producing plaque production. elizabeth: got it, dr. makary, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thanks. elizabeth: we've got radio show host tesla and metany bruce.

elizabeth: look who's back. she's a great writer and radio show host tammy bruce. we love having you on. tammy what, do you think, voters saying the 2024 election is -- what do you think they'll say
5:56 pm
it's about? trump indictments or bidenomics? >> it's always the economics; right. this is what we know. in every single poll the thing on the top of everyone's minds is the economy. we have a poll that says 71% of people think things are going poorly in the country. they see what's going on and they don't like it. that would include i would argue what's happening with president trump. multiple polls say americans see this as being political and when we think about the economy and the biden administration's upset their slogan isn't working. bidenomics has been a good thing and let me just remind everyone, and i don't have to because they see it every time they go to the super market, egg prices have doubled. they're 200% more than they were two yearsing a. cereal and bread remain up 25%. meat, fish, poultry astronomically higher than two yearsing a. gasoline is high and a baby formula problem.
5:57 pm
not at the height of what it was, but it is still difficult to get formula. children's medicines that we've got this dynamic where people look around and they realize something is not right but every day they try to live their lives and get food on the table from cereal to egg to protein and they know something has gone horribly wrong and joe biden, the insult, the insult of swinging out a new slogan and it tells the american people they can be gas lit. that we want to hear a fun motto. we don't. we want to have our children fed and we want them safe, and we want them to have medicines they need. we know that this is due to policy. as a matter of fact, i think it's a 54% cnn poll smoke detector found that 54% of people trust the gop and congress gofer biden at 45%. so americans want solutions and
5:58 pm
that's what the gop has to realize. you don't want to just say you're not the democrats. people know this can be solved. donald trump solve it had even under fire for his first term, and they know they can be solved with policy and the republicans have got to step up in this regard. elizabeth: tammy, will they? will the republicans step up? >> you know, so far i'm concerned. they didn't get it during the midterms. it's not like they were a bunch of politicians dropped in from mars. they've been doing this for decades for half a censure reigns leading. you can't just not be something else. their problem is that you've got to embrace trump's policies economically to be able to tell people what you're going to do, and they've got to get over their feelings that trump -- they just don't like him. americans want solutions and that is what they're going to vote for -- they thought they were voting for that in '22 and did half and half because they were hearing it from either side
5:59 pm
and the republicans have a opportunity, but they've got to be able to embrace the policies that work. whether they were brought by trump or whomever, but these days it's trump. elizabeth: when voters go into the voting booth, they're asking what can this candidate do for me; right? that's on their minds. >> sure. elizabeth: what the biden white house has done after pandemic shut downs, they threw a lot more hot money into a locked up economy and put a wet blanket oe rules and regulations, and trying to get the economy to go all electric. >> it's, you know, it's a level of madness or busyness and want to seem like they're doing something and pandering to one group and trying to upset a different group and not thinking about the specifics of the mundane aspect of good policy that solves problems because the left is runs on fear. the left runs on drama and run
6:00 pm
on being able to say those people over there are the enemy. just come home. that was their message in 2020 and they'll try it again. but now i think americans, 71% don't like what's going on. americans understand what's happened here. but the republicans must you ever them something. elizabeth: got it. tammy bruce, come back soon. e-mail us at foxnews.com we read them all. i'm liz mcdonald. thank you for watching "the evening edit" now over to the bottom line with dagen and sean. dagen: you're so smart. dagen: good evening, i'm dagen mcdowell. sean
