>> okay, that's a friday song and my producer said you wouldn't know it, david. it's a new song. one of the new groups and they're right, i isn't. it's good to have a friday song. a new friday song. good morning, everyone. happy tried. it's 10:00 eastern time and it's a very busy day and jerome powell talking any moment now and a preview of what he's going to say and how it'll affect the markets. i'm david asmund in for stuart varney and mr. powell is due to talk at 10:00 a.m. eastern time and that's when he's talking to folks in jackson hole and we've got it all covered for you. the 10-year treasury looking at a positive day for the markets and just went negative. it was up positive in the first half hour of trading. now it's down just a tick. almost flat but it is down 0.6

basis point-blank layupses and oil we saw before was up to 80 and come down a little bit and just over $80 a barrel and now $79.83. still up a percentage point from where it was. bitcoin was up as well. let's see if it stayed there. no, that's come down a little bit. we got the latest read on consumer sentiment. lauren, do we have the number s? lauren: yeah, jay powell is watching this report. how do consumers feel about inflation and the state of the economy? final number for august, 69.5, less than expected and less than the prior month. look at current conditions, more depressed about that. that number lower, 75.7. expectations, lower, 65.5. one year inflation expectations higher, 3.5%. five year inflation expectations up 3%. david: wow, the wrong side of all those numbers, all though not dramatically so but you're right. jerome powell and folks at the fed are looking deeply at all

that. let's bring in kenny polcari to talk about this. first of all, consumer sen want, can he beny -- senment, what do you think? >> i'm not surprised and we've been talking and the consumer is growing weary and going on now for almost two years in terms of rising prices and stress on the consumer. so we've seen that so i'm not surprised by those numbers at all. all though i'm not necessarily sure that jj can take the numbers from today and incorporate it into his speech. i think he's had this sense that consumers are weary so i think that's going to be part of his speech. and so we're going to see. stocks are up but they're not nearly taking back what they lost yesterday, and i suspect that as we move into the weekend, it's going to -- they're going to go negative. david: by the way, are you the only one that calls powell jj? i hadn't heard that before. i like that. jj. >> i have a nickname for everybody on my morning news.

david: i don't mind being called the da. i got to ask you about those specifically what he's going to say because what turned the markets or seemed to turn the markets yesterday was jim bullard suggesting the economy was stronger than they were hoping for. sounds contrarean there, but you know how the fed people are and like a weak economy to get rid of inflation. powell might try to counter act that this morning. >> i'm not sure he's going to counter act it. the minutes that came out a week and a half ago suggest that had the bulk of the committee is concerned about rising inflation becoming entrenched because it's still rising and up -- prices are up 4%. they're not down 4% so while it's slowing, they're still rising and those minutes suggested that majority of members of the fed are concerned about it becoming more entrenched and you had jimmy who's not even a fed member anymore, he's the dean of the business school, but you had

boston se susie colins that coms out and she's a member and she's worried and former treasury secretary larry summers who's worried and former new york fed chair bill dudley out and he's worried and the only one yesterday saying we're fine is philly's patty harker and remains a confusing landscape and i think jj powell will stay just to the right of senter and remain hawkish. if he does anything that suggests he's doveish, the market will say rate cuts are coming. look at this and take the market higher, exactly what he doesn't want to happen. david: we have a hint of what jj's going to say. i'm going to use the jj moniker. i like that, kenny. stay right there. edward lawrence is with us. edward. do you have any inclination as to what it is that jj's going to be saying today? oh, edward's not there? okay. very quickly then, kenny, coming back to you, nvidia, tell us what's happening with nvidia because you wrote about it today.

go ahead. >> i wrote yesterday too. nvidia was so priced to perfection it created so much hype around what it was going to do and listen, he came out with great numbers, he came out with a great forecast but look, nvidia is up 200 some odd percent and had a beautiful run and i think it's going higher over the course of the next year for sure. i remain long and i'm not panicking about it, but i'm not necessarily surprised. look, yesterday morning they took the market right up to the trend line and hit resistance and it backed off. i think that just says where we're going for the next five to six years. david: kenny, i think we have the mic situation fixed weed ward and he's with us. what do we hear from powell today, edward? >> yeah, they'll hit the 2% target and raise rs if they need to do that and fed chair said they're prepared to go further if warranted and prepared to have a restrictive stance longer

than anticipated in order to get inflation back to 2% here and now they said sustained growth. he's focused on this core inflation. he says sustained restrictive stance might be needed to get that core inflation down. now, the fed chairman will go through and break down the different parts of core inflation in this, and he says that over the past 12 months, core goods have remained above their pre-pandemic levels in general and sustained progress will be needed or could be needed. restrictive monetary stance over some time, the fed chairman says will eventually bring down inflation. now, powell does mention that the bank lending standards tightening have contributed to economic activity of a slower growth of economic activity, but he says that gdp is coming in much hotter than expected, and that is a sign the economy may not be slowing down exactly as the federal reserve wants and he says additional evidence of per sis taintly above friend -- persistently above friend growth

could further im-- impede further progress on inflation risk and warrant further tightening and monetary policies and they're concerned about the growth in the economy here. the fed chairman says they'll proceed carefully for future interest rate hikes if needed. that's because they're worried about doing too little and would cause damage and doing too much would cause unnecessary damage. the fed will rely on the data and evolving outlooks but in this speech, he does seem to indicate that they will get to the 2% target and that possibility could be a hint to another rate hike this year and hold rates restrictive for a little bit longer than the market is thinking. back to you guys. david: okay, again, the markets as you can see holding relatively steady and came down a little bit when we got details of what powell is saying. of course, you can never tell and might throw in a sinker at the end -- zinge at the end that surprisesser and trading 100 point-blank layupses and up

about 150 and has --s -- points up and about 150 points before. is kenny still there. nope, kenny i'm afraid has taken off. all right. now this, nikki haley is getting pushback on her claims that the gop is actually running against camera harris, not -- kamala harris and not joe biden in 2024. watch this. >> there's no way that joe biden finishes his term and kamala harris should be the next president and that you would should send a chill up every american's spine. >> how do you know that joe biden is not going to finish his term? what is that based on? >> do you think he'll finish his term? think he'll finish what he started and we look at decline over the last few years and you have to be honest with the american people, george, there's no way that joe biden will finish out a next term. david: i love the way she came

back to george stephanopoulos on that. >> yeah, that's the key and don't look at memo an aid gave you. joe biden himself said he was going to be a one term president and if you believe him, which i think most democrats suggest we can and should, it means that this is just simply opening the door so he can step away and the democrats would have a guaranteed four more years with someone who already knows the -- what's controlling the white house, the same team, the same attitude, once again schon who's in front. as a feminist, i would want the first woman president to actually be the president and actually know what it is she's doing and can actually explain things to the american people and that's not kamala harris. david: you're suggesting it could be nikki. >> first woman president that'll be asuccess will be a conservative. that's the difference. david: let me ask, what do you think is going to lead to biden pulling out, if he does. is it going to be his age, his

problems with the truth? is it going to be the business with hunter biden? we'll get too close to what he was doing as vice president? >> well, it's the polls. it's dc look what they did. they knew what they had when they were running the basement campaign. that's why there was a basement campaign. they knew he couldn't be in the public. so frau president trump is even or ahead of him and realize trump is the one closer and the moment they believe it's lost and the system tells the white house time to get out and they withdraw support and that's when it ends and joe biden won't say and jill biden won't say it's over now. they would have said in 2015 if they were serious about the country and about -- if she was serious about her husband's well

being. david: tammy, i had so much more to talk to you about and the jay powell news took some of your space. >> shame on him. i had better news. david: fema officials getting criticized for where they're staying responding to the maui wild fires. quite an issue, lauren. lauren: do they live under a rock? they're staying at these three five star hotels, including the swankey 4 seasons starting at a thousand a night. and if it's not the price that annoys you and your taxpayer dollars, it's 45 minutes away from the damage in lahaina. obviously, obviously they're being blasted for poor optics because you have displaced residents staying in the shelters and it looks bad. know that going in and fema responding saying as we transition to the recovery faze, obviously they'll move tome to more affordable housing units. when you're making this decision, you know you're going to get the critics. also wanted to tell you if we can pull up shares of hawaiian electric, maui filing a lawsuit against the utility company

blaming them for their power lines being the conduit for starting the wild fires. the suit claims they failed to maintain the electric system while a wind storm raff ravaged the island and down more than 70% this month and wild fires began on august 8. david: you're looking at movers and what's happening in the stock market. hasbro. lauren: raised to highest on the street at $94 and the stock is only at $69. david: quite a potential jump. lauren: number one on s&p. david: marvel technology. lauren: chips and stock down 6% and companies are holding awe on their upgrades and they said the recovery in china is weak. david: ulta beauty. lauren: raised full year guidance but stock is down 2 at any time 5%. selling more of expensive skincare brands and thought about that. people are saving money by not going to the dermatologist and buying the expensive skincare at

david: powell just stopped talking and guess what, the markets seemed to like what he said. maybe they like that he stopped talking, but the dow is -- was up over 200 points and has come down a bit and nasdaq up well over 1%, up 135 points, s&p up 30. again, he was suggesting that if necessary, the fed would be raising rates a little more, that inflation is not gone yet. he's still emphasizing they're looking for 2% level as a guide to tell them how much further it should come down and certainly hasn't gotten to that level yet. they're looking at it but again, it wasn't the bad news they were prepping for and in fact markets are up a bit and as you can see, a 10-year yield is down a bit and down 1.8 basis points and

not a lot. it's a significant thing to notice now and down 2.3 basis popoints and good news from the markets on jackson hole, wisconsin. republicans back on the campaign trail after wednesday's debate and now a third party group working to become a major force in the race. mark meredith following that story. mark, tell us more about the third party group and who they like. >> david, good morning. i sure will. americans often say they're tired of the two party system and those parties are still dominant, but the group no label says next year may offer americaning a third choice with a unity presidential ticket. recent polling shows more americans identify themselves as either independent as opposed to democrat or republican, and no label says depending on who the nominees end up being for either party they may child choose to r their own ticket to appeal with the voters. most recently north carolina and this allows them to potentially get their candidates on a ballot

next year and no labels national director says by spring they should know if they're officially going to launch a bid or not. >> after super-tuesday when we have a good, confidents feeling who the nominees will be, in between that time period and when no labels has our national convention in dallas, texas, mid april is when we'd make that decision whether to offer the ballot line to a bipartisan ticket or not. >> who would their nominees end up being? the group says it's too early to know but there's plenty of moderates from both parties flown out as potential candidates. there's one person that says he has no plans to run in a third party or as an independent and that's environmental lawyer robert f. kennedy jr.. >> i'm a democrat. you know, i'm a traditional democrat, and i -- part of my mission here is to bring the democratic party back to the traditional ideals. >> now, it's certainly possible

another democrat may jump into the race to challenge president biden, but democrat officials insisted they still believe the president will be the nominee but this third party talk, david, could generate a lot more buzz getting closer to the caucuses and primaries. david: mark, thank you very much. top dnc adviser cedrick richmond waying in, "president biden was the clear winner as republicans shouted over each other and see who could be the most extreme. what they weren't talking about is how do we improve the daily lives of americans". carl rove joining me now. carl, obviously this guy was talking his book as we say in financial word. was there anything about the debate. you thought it was a pretty good debate and seeing these people on their own without the trump influence within their midst. anything about the debate that concerned you? >> well, first of all, remember we look at these as events, but they're part of a process and

that's why you need to step back a little bit and sort of look at it as one step in a process that's going to include at least three debates and is also going to involve people mulling over and die jesting what they've -- digesting what they've heard that night and a lot more people heard the next day. i break it down this way, the washington post had desantis as the winner if they had a poll, 29% thought he did the best. i think that's because he sursurvived and he was thought o be the guy that was going to be receiving all of the slings and arrows if you will from his opponents, and he handled himself pretty well. didn't have the most speaking time, but he handled himself well and survived the evening and as a result of nearly one out of every three viewers said he won the debate. we had standouts and learned more about nicky haley and -- nikki hil haley and mike pence d 12 minutes, more than anyone

else and both going after their lane and nikki haley was i'm the different kind of republican, the new conservative leader and i'm worried about spending, i'm worrying about national defense. i'm going to go up and shake things up. mike pence was i'm the conservative evangelical that wants to get the reagan mantle of optimism. we had something new and this was interesting because i think people looked at this, generally and said, i'm impressed with the republican field. part of that was three guys who we learned a lot more about. chris christie lost his opportunity with donald trump off the stage to really stand out, and we learned about what he did as governor and that was impressive and same with burgum of north dakota and asa hutch inson of arkansas and maybe they're not the real contenders and nonetheless they added to the luster of the evening by saying these people were capable of doing things. not enough tim scott. i mean, he didn't have much time. david: i agree with that. >> but he was funny and humor

helped him. then the acquired taste is vivek, who was the second in the washington post poll, the second designated winner. 26% thought he won it. but he had a lot of ammunition, drew a lot of fire and we'll see how the postdebate coverage of ramaswamy plays out. david: yeah, i think the best prepared was nikki. i think nikki haley was the best prepared. she had comebacks for just about every single issue. whether you liked them or not. not empowered by faith likes them -- everybody liked them but she was good. yesterday you had the trump arrest and again, trump sucked the oxygen out of the room and see how long that lasts. we'll have to leave it at that, carl. a very busy news day and appreciate seeing you. don't forget fox business will be hosting the second republican primary debate on september 27 . democrats are celebrating donald trump's arrest. lauren, they're fundraising off

this? lauren: not just democrats but the president himself on his campaign account, he xed and pull it up, i think today's a great day to give my campaign -- to give to my campaign and included a link to donate. trump is doing the exact same thing while xing for the first time in two years, there it is. political gold; right? the caption said if you pull down the banner it said never surrender and that tweet has been -- that x, i don't know what to call it anymore, has been liked more than 1.1 million times already. david: what's incredible is both sides are using that. democratsthink it helps them and of course donald trump thinks it helps him. so we'll see how it turns out. lauren, thank you very much. now this, comedian kevin hart is wheelchair bound of getting seriously injured. we have all the details of what happened there. republican presidential candidate tim scott says biological men should not be

david: well, look at markets. they've come down a bit right now. they are -- the dow is down, what is that, 95? i see it down even further here and depends where you're looking but the fact s lauren, that some of the markets are not very pleased with what's happened with powell's statements. kind of digest it had all and think, maybe we should be more concerned about a possible rate hike. lauren: better than the pain speech that killed the markets last year but, yeah, they're not done yet getting inflation from 3.2 to 2% target. david: market movers and start with at tesla. lauren: yep, dan ives said look at sum of the parts and separate businesses charging artificial intelligence, batteries and charging alone could bring up to $20 billion in revenue by 2030. he calls tesla musk and co and

price is $100 more at $350. david: abercrombie and fitch. lauren: morgan stanley thinks they're going from 51-18 and they're calling them one of the few successful retail turn arounds. david: wow, jetblue. lauren: the spirit fairs if the deal is approved and the acquisition by up to 40% in some rounds and doj not liking that and stocks are down and jetblue down 1.4% because the doj right now is suing to block this deal for jetblue to take in spirit and become the fifth largest u.s. carrier. david: am l and extremely interesting warning -- apple and the extremely interesting warning about the iphones. lauren: don't sleep next to your iphone while it's charging. don't put it on your bed, not under your pillow. that's the worst. charge it at a distance from

where you are on a hard surface and in a well ventilated room otherwise the phones can heat up too much and potentially burn something or start a fire. david: i see. you'd get the rays from all the internet stuff was my thought. lauren: no, but the heat from the charging. how many ti times is my phone oy bed next to me with my long charging cord. david: students in maryland no longer opting out on lessons between lgbtq and transgender talks. griff jenkins joining me. does this include children as young as kindergarten? >> hey, david, good morning. it does indeed and parents are outraged because when children return to the class on monday they can't opt out of the lessons that violates their religious beliefs because it includes these books and show you these and we shot them and focus on lgbtq and transgender issues starting as young as kindergarten and up through elementary school and the director of family rights for religious freedom group reacted

yesterday to the judge's denial. >> it's really unfortunate. we did not expect much from the ruling and we knew our chances were slim to get the mandatory injunction, which in essence force the montgomery county public schools to opt out and we didn't get that today. >> they're not obliged to shield religiously offensive and the school opposes no requirement that the student violate his or her faith in classroom construction and residents voiced opinions in a board meeting and rallied outside prior to that ruling. >> i have the legal right to shape my kids' future and moral rights not the school. >> i don't think individuals in

our public education system should be able to opt out of any lessons about any of the amazing diverse personalities. >> the schools remain committed to cultivating a learning environment and following a ruling for the attorneys for the families that sued say they'll appeal this decision. david. >> david: griff, thank you very much. remember this from the debate. senator tim scott saying biological men should not be competing in women's sports. roll tape. >> she together me if you're abled bodied in america. you work. if you take out a loan, you pay it back f. you commit a violent crime. you go to jail. and if god made you a man, you play sports against men. david: enis kanter freedom is here. what did you think of tim scott's remarks? >> i loved it. men don't belong in women spaces, restrooms, locker rooms

and showers. he said that and i was like, good, finally. david: didn't you actually suggest that you could identify as a woman yourself and enter women's sports if you wanted to? >> i wanted to show my point to the whole world. think about it from now on, i might identify myself as a woman and put a wig on and call myself enisha and start going out and trying to play women's basketball. would that be fair? i would average 50, 60 points and destroy the whole league. would that be fair to all the women and also fair to all the little kids out there. little girls out there that want to be wnba player one someday. david: trans activists are very determined to stop people with your opinion from saying what they feel is right. it's pushback that women shouldn't be forced to have a man in their dressing room. >> also, not only the dressing rooms but showers, restrooms,

you know, there are -- if i was a girl, i'd be so uncomfortable to be in the shower and locker room and restroom with a biological male. there's a potential of getting harassed and maybe even worse, raped. some people need god in their climate david: enes, quickly, china. you've been vocal and they're involved in horrible behaviors as a government affecting the lives of hundreds of millions in china and have your comments encomia that affected nba pompeo seizure disorderses at all? >> i'm -- policies at all? >> we had a hearing about it in congress and i asked one question to those in congress and senators like, listen, how can the biggest dictatorship in the world control 100% company and fire a u.s. citizen. this is unacceptable. the one thick that made me so happy -- thing that made me happy about this gop debate, they all agree with one thing, china is the biggest problem in the free world.

we have to do something about it. david: enes, great to see you and thank you for being here. appreciate it. comedian kevin hart is in a wheelchair after suffering an injury. what happened, lauren. lauren: tried to race an athlete ten years his junior. watch. >> and i don't want you to be alarmed, but i'm in a wheelchair, yeah. i'm in a wheelchair. synergy home in because i tried to jump out there and do some young stuff. steve said, kef, ain't no way you're going to beat me. he's an ex-nfl running back and played for the new england patriots and tore my lower abdomen and abductors and i tore them. i don't even know what that is but i tore it too. i can't even walk. lauren: story of my morning. things go south physically after the age of 40; right? this happened to me. he's 44. steven ridley is 34. they made a bet, they ran a 40-yard dash, and hart says i'm the stupidest man alive.

after 20, you don't do that. if you watch the whole clip, it's hilarious and a warning for all the dads out there. david: next is a security guard working on taylor swift's latest tore just got fired and what did he do wrong? lauren: he asked fans in minneapolis to take a picture of him with taylor swift in the background while she was performing cruel summer and here's his exact explanation of what happened. i handed out little pieces of paper to a couple of the audience members directly in front of me that i'm not allowed to have my phone out and when taylor swift gets close to me, i would appreciate it if they took a photo of me with taylor swift in the background. lauren: he posted everything on tiktok. it's inappropriate for a security guard and in violation of the policies that they have. so he's fired. he has another job. i believe software engineer. this was just a side gig, my opinion a way to get free taylor swift tickets. david: perhaps it was. lauren, thank you. now this, democrats are

public execution, no? >> yes, absolutely right. i think it was the first time i had the honor of joining you on the big screen years and yearsing a. we talked about vladamir putin's use of discoverable influence operations where he deliberately left a trail of bread crumbs back to the kremlin. that's what this was, except it's a downed airplane and absolutely a public education cushion because -- execution because vladamir putin needs to message his own population and his own security and intelligence services. david: dan, a lot of people weren't surprised and only surprised about how long it took from the time prigozhin began his disobedient behavior to the time he was killed. you suggest that part of that reason was putin wanted to make sure that he had control over the wagner group before he hit prigozhin, no? >> yeah, i think putin was doing a couple of things. first, he was absolutely vetting

the wagner group and military. the wagner group made way to the military district, which is responsible for conducting offensive operations inside ukraine. so there was concern about the loyalty of the army and putin had to deal with that and the second thing was instruct a very small team, i'm quite sure in the sfb, federal security service that putin used to lead in the late 1990s to look for opportunities to target prigozhin lethally that has they've done with others, like the fsb defector in london and turned him into a human --ty bomb and defector in the uk and a banned chemical agent on him. those were meant to demonstrate to putin's followers if they cross him or betray him then they will not last many more dais on this earth. david: so, does he feel pretty secure do you think now he has control over the mercenaries in

the wagner group? >> well, putin was an intelligence officer and this was an intelligence failure and allowed the threat to materialize and real mutiny that caused collateral damage to moral within the russian army. before vladamir putin took action and he's going to suffer some of the consequences for that and this was not locustallen's preemptive -- stalin's in the preemptive 30s and nothing like that. they'll be spending the coming weeks and months ahead assessing the extent to which putin is weakened by this. the root causes of putin's hold on the kremlin is failed war in ukraine where he's spilled a massive amount of russian blood and treasure. can i recollects david: we can never forget what caused the down fall of the soviet union was losses in afghanistan and they began to pile up and the dead bodies came home and eventually i think it was one of the main factors in leading to

the end of the soviet union. dan, great to see you, my friend. thank you for being here. >> thank you. david: administration has gone after gas stoves and lightbulbs and now the ceiling fans and some manufacturers say the new rule could put them out of business. hillary vaughn has that report later in the show. and take a look at this op ed.

(jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success move with the xfinity 10g network. is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4.

before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try? david: check the narcotics and they really -- markets and they're getting a case of indigestion of what jj powell said earlier in the morning and they're up handily and all down and all the three indebses are down, dow down 35 points, nasdaq down 10, and nasdaq is down about a third of a percentage point, down 44. let's say we want to also take a look at disney stock if we can.

it is up this morning, but it closed yesterday at a 9-year low. now take a look at this op ed. "disney is on a woke path to ruin. even snow white's actress hates her own story". karol markowicz wrote that and she joins me now. carol, it seems to be catching up not only with their customer base and investors because it is on a bad run right now, doesny. >> yeah, that's right. i mean, they've lost 500 million in the most recent quarter. their stock is at basically an all time low. and i think they don't care. i think that disney decided it's going to push obanya ideological viewpoint and profits be damned. i don't know what their stockholders think but they've been ideologically captured and they're going to push it and what's happening with the latest snow white story is they finally have also angered the disney

super fan and the fan that always loved the snow white's story and cinderella and sleeping beauty and they're being told they're a sexist ogre for enjoy those tales and fans don't like that and people just overlooking that and more. david: most people that love disney, they have kept the dcds from when they were kids and showing to their kids and hoping that the new stuff that they came out with would sort of mirror that and said they go in exactly the opposite direction. i want another chance to respond and randi wiengarten went after ron desantis and wiengarten is the teacher's union president and wrote "de- desantis is a dis-taxpayerser and banning books and history and ap psych

and a terrible teacher shortage and nobody should be taking advice from him on schools". karol, you live in florida partly because of what the wiengarten way of teaching was providing or not providing your own children. >> that's right. remember why randi wiengarten hates governor desantis and that's because he defied her and opened schools during the pandemic. and not just school year 2020. she tried to get schools closed in florida for school year 2021. i think that her lies, her absolute lies because none of that is banned in florida is based on her not having control. if republicans were smart, and that's a big if, they would hold her accountable by pressuring democrats to sever their relationship withs her. there she is posing with president biden as if she didn't just destroy an educational year for millions of children. republicans should really decide what they want to do here and they need to go strong against her. they should look to governor

desantis for some lessons. david: so much comes down to money and so many billions of dollars that didn't directly go in her pocket or in the pockets of the teacher's union but indirectly did, and you're shaking your head. some people wonder where the money did actually go because some of it you can't keep track of. is there any way because republicans do hold the house of congress right now that couldn't they hold back on some of that funding as long as the teacher's union is involved? >> well, you'd think; right? and the republicans have never done anything about the fact that these teacher's unions demand dues from members and donate 99.9% of dues to democrats and that's basically a money funneling operation that teachers unions are running and if republicans were stronger, they would fight back on this. teacher's unions are wildly unpopular because of this kind of stuff and parents know they're pushing ideology and they know. david: karol, we have to leave it at that. we've run out of time.
