elizabeth: let's welcome to the show from house oversight congressman pat fallon. you were at the first house impeachment inquiry hearing. tell us what you saw. >> liz, we saw the democrats continue to claim there's no evidence for an impeachment inquiry and of course, i think that's completely ludicrous. there's -- you can teach a three credit college course about all the things we've found and all the information we find continues to corroborate the evidence that's already been uncovered and never contradicts it and it was just a bunch of hot air for the democrats and we laid it out with specificity. elizabeth: hunter biden sold access to the biden brand meaning his father in 23 nations and this true that hunter texted that his father was "my family's only asset"? >> seems that way. joe bind was the brand. why for instance would the former first lady of moscow,

that's a russian billion oligarch send hunter biden $3.5 million? for what reason? i thought it was awfully coincidental and sanctions came down and you lean arkansas wasn't mentioned to take it back. let's watch this. >> the biden had nothing to sell except the brand. the binds million from china and elsewhere. joe biden lied to the american people about family making money in china. >> we uncovered yesterday that the biden family and associated received over $20 million from 23 different countries that they had business ties to or communications with. and they also had over20 shell

l.l.c.,s where they would transfer money in and out. if you were still sitting in your office and doj tax division, would this web of entities and activities concern you? >> i would make sure that . >> i hope you all do what i did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. it's really hard. but don't worry, unlike pop, i won't make you give me half your salary. if you saw a text message like this in a potential money laundering operation or a potential pay for play operation, would you be looking for information related to money going from son to father? >> absolutely without a doubt. elizabeth: okay, so there's that. and, congressman, irs whistle blowers testifying that hunter biden's $5 million in burisma

income matches the fbi informants bribery charge that's been unverified still. is that true? did whistle blowers say that? >> it's very troubling when you have -- we have to also talk about, liz, the 1023 form that fbi filled out. it's only as good as the source. the fbi said this source is highly reliably trusted and working with him for over a deck said and paid him over $100,000 for information and the information he provides the fbi is not gorge and it is gold. garage. garbage. it's gold. they said that joe biden was given $5 million directly and he was hunter was paid millions to be opportunistic burisma's board. on burisma's board. elizabeth: he doesn't think the current evidence supports articles of impeachment as it stand right now, but he did say

that the inquiry is needed to find out exactly what was going on. the media has been misstating what jonathan turn turley has bn saying. >> the gun powder is incumbent upon us and the preponderance of the evidence is that joe biden is his son were involved in fraud and money laundering i influence peddling and selling access. it's more likely than not. can we get torrential doubt to reach impeachment and only way to know is open an impeachment inquiry. elizabeth: house lawmakers joseph ziegler cited an e-mail between hunter biden and devon haarcher laying out the plan for burisma. it could make $5 million total and whistle blower doing how it matches with the fbi informant

document and veteran career informant and 1023 that senator grassley revealed and the appointment talked about $5 million in bribes to hunter and joe biden for burisma's cofounder embr embroiled in a corruption probe. the whistle blowers were talking about it and trying to track it but they were blocked. >> liz, all the evidence that we uncover matches the stuff we already know. and it's shocking to me that the democrats can't see or they don't want to admit it, but that's why we -- by the way, in that 1023 form, he mentioned the big guy and that's joe biden. elizabeth: thank you for taking time and spending time with us tonight. good to see you. >> thanks, liz. god bless. elizabeth: joining us now is francey hake s and hans von

spakovsky. what did you take from this today, francey? >> there's no evidence but they're not saying there's no smoke bun but some say that. what they're saying is there no, sir evidence tieing any corruption into president biden, and that is just laughable. you've got a ton of evidence. maybe not beyond a reasonable doubt as the congressman just said, but it is probable cause and probable cause is a standard that's used, or used to be used, by the department of justice to get a grand jury indictment and get search warrants and pursue a strong investigation, and it's obvious they've been derelict in their duty and haven't done that and this impeachment inquiry is bringing up a lot of evidence and at minimum probable cause to believe that joe biden has been selling his office through his son hunter.

elizabeth: what francey said, hans, nancy pelosi launched impeachment on president trump based on one phone call. the evidence isn't there yet to tie joe biden to crimes and misdemeanors right now in office. could you see where that could go? could it go towards that? >> oh, yeah, look. there's more than enough circumstantial evidence and witness testimony to warrant opening an impeachment inquiry and as you were saying before and the way the media and other democrats were trying to misinterpret what jonathan turley was saying and saying, oh, well, he sunk this whole thing. no, what he said was we're not voting today on articles of impeachment and there's not enough evidence for that, but there's more than enough evidence to open up an investigation and in fact, all the evidence uncovered so far

warrants opening an investigation. elizabeth: you know, house lawmakers released a what's app message from march 2019 between hunter biden and his uncle jim biden, francey, where james biden says "you've been drawn into something for the purpose of protecting dad". francey, doesn't is sound like they all understood joe biden's role on the cashing in of the government job? >> it does, liz, because what else did hunter biden have to offer anybody, any business or any government? at the time most of this was going on, he was literally a crack head spending his money hiring prostitutes and bringing them across state lines and taking nude pictures of himself and saving them. he had nothing to offer anyone except access to his father, and we know from one of the other text messages where he demanded money and noted he was sitting next to his father that it's very clear there's a connection between those two things. elizabeth: so, irs whistle

blower gary shapely says u.s. aassistant attorney leslie wolf f with scott brady to brief investigators in delaware about the bribery allegations and wolf concluded this could not be credible because it came from rudy giuliani. this came from an informant that had nothing to do with rudy giuliani. >> right. this was not the only thing she did wrong. this was the same assistant u.s. attorney that refused the request of irs investigators to get a search warrant for the guest house in which hunter biden was living at the residence of joe biden, even though she acknowledged they had probable cause for it, but she didn't want a search to occur because i guess it would embarrass the president. by the way, the testimony by

eilean o'conner, a former head of tax division was quite something because what she said was that supposedly the statute of limitations has run on some of the tax problems. actually she says they may not have run because he was hiding, not paying his taxes. elizabeth: so that means the statute of limitations could be extended on tax evasion? >> that's right. elizabeth: thanks for joining us tonight. good to see you both. >> thanks for having me. >> thanks. elizabeth: with us tonight, senator markwayne mullen, mike huckabee, tunin tudor dixon andx news contributor tammy bruce. they're fired up and ready to go. new details of the biden family's push to sell u.s. energy assets to china and you'll hear from senator katie britt on the worsening border crisis and now new york city distributing flies telling illegal immigrants "you're better off somewhere else".

elizabeth: reaction continues to pour in about the fox republican debate last night and live at the reagan library in simi valley, california, with the story. madison. reporter: hey, liz. it was a fiery debate last night here in simi valley, california. candidates picking up today where they left off, including criticizing the front runner who was not in attendance last night. >> those voters expect you to show up. he tried to attack me and doing it allot. it's one thing behind a keyboard. step up on stage and do it to my face. reporter: a candidate that made a flash former governor nikki haley trying to contain the momentum from the first debate and went on the offensive. >> part of how we win elections is reaching the next generation

of young americans where they are. >> tiktok is one of the most dangerous social media apps that we could, and honestly everybody time i hear you, i feel a little bit dumber. reporter: vivek ramaswamy who accused his fellow candidates of being bought and paid for last month in milwaukee, singing a very different tune today. >> i take a lot of personal fire, yes, but i'm not running against any of those candidates. i'm running for this country and that's what i'm keeping in mind. reporter: none of the candidates currently have enough support, enough polling to be a true alternative to president donald trump. when dana perino asked them who they'd like to exit the race, no one answered. ron desantis made the point that polls do not elect a president, voters do. elizabeth: that's right, madison alworth. great story, great reporting there. good to see you and thanks for joining us. reporter: great to see you. elizabeth: what madison just said.

bring in our all star voter panel. whitney smith-mcintosh, a school board mom in in iowa. and ian campbell and rob salem with us and owned multiple small businesses. whitney, what was your reaction to last night's debate? >> last night's debate was wonderful to watch, but i don't think it swayed any voters. elizabeth: so didn't sway any voters. ian, do you feel the same? >> absolutely. i think all the headlines are correct in saying it was a blood bath. i think you saw a lot of personal ataxo, and i think thag voter, i wanted to see policy solutions and i don't think the needle was moved for me. elizabeth: rom, here's a story, do you think candidates went hard enough after bidenomics and did their economic policies come through? there's a new warning that

economists like mohammed el-evian saying the market could break to 8% next week. we haven't seen that rate since late 90s or 2000s and this will undercut bidenomics and that 10-year yield is breaking above 15, 16 year highs and we're in a debt spending crisis. we've got literally trillions in bonds pouring into the u.s. treasury market. >> to your question, i did not see enough about bidenomics. i didn't hear enough about it. i heard a lot of talking points, but again, i didn't see enough of an attack on president biden's academic policy, which i think is driving this country into the ground. elizabeth: driving it into the ground. we've got former president trump, he rallied with uaw workers in detroit. thousands turned out. whitney and everybody, let's get your reaction to former president trump.

uaw chief shawn fain is slamming trump saying he undercut union jobs. others are saying he's terrific. let's watch president trump here. >> the only time joe biden has ever gotten his hands dirty and when he's taking cash from foreign countries, which is quite often actually. i will not allow under any circumstances the american automobile industry to die. i want it to thrive. joe biden claims to be the most pro union president in history. nonsense. think of it, his entire career, just think of it, his entire career has been an act of economic treason and union destruction. he's destroyed unions, shipping millions of american jobs overseas and personally taking money from foreign nations hand over fist. for decades you've watched rotten and crooked politicians like biden treat american jobs azides poseable and american --

as dis-possible and american workers as expendable and everyone on the line to fight for you. ivoriesinged it all to defend the working -- ivoriesinged it all to protect the working class from the people suck the life and blood out of this country. elizabeth: whitney, applause there. sounds like he was getting shouted out earlier in that sound montage. when you heard former president trump there, what did you hear? what's your reaction? >> he'll always capitalize on a crisis to talk about how great he is and how bad the opponent is. i like how he focused on biden and not any of the other candidates, but i was not impressed with what he said. he could have focused more on policies like we want everybody to do so we know who to vote for. elizabeth: ian, what do you think? >> i think president trump made the right move last night and he went back to the voter base that

got him elected in 2016. it was working class voters that shifted from the democrats under barack obama and going for donald trump in 2016 and won him in michigan and won him in wisconsin and pennsylvania. president biden leading into the labor vote and leading n into michigan and like president trump and they're going to front for the general election and get them on his team and there's a record of defending working class americans and he fought back against nafta and brought back good paying jobs for american workers and he really is the champion from american workers compared to bind. elizabeth: we heard from whitney and ian. rom, where do you come down? >> the thing about president trump and that's why i'm leaning heavily in his favor is because he's a fighter. i watch the debates last night. i saw all of those seven candidates up on that stage, and i just don't see them pushing

back with the vigor and spirit that he does. elizabeth: got it. whitney smith-macintosh, ian cruise, rom solem, we appreciate you joining us two nights in a row. smart insigsights from all thref you and hope to see you soon. >> thank you. >> thank you. elizabeth: a former fbi official warning sophisticated, coordinated re-tate tail robbery gang -- retail robbery gangs are purposely targeted cities with weak on crime laws and former arkansas governor mike huckabee, president biden getting criticized critting border states like california and arizona and footba not going toe border. you'll want to sit tight and watch this. don't miss what's coming up. stay right there. ♪ ive ingredients... and sizes to relieve your pain.

mmhm. [bubbles] elizabeth: we're delighted to

have on the show former arkansas governor mike huck beam you wanted to run -- huckabee. you wanted to run for the white house and the border was a major topic last night and record 80,000 migrants crossing in nine days unvetted and biden going to california and as but not the actual border and he's been there just once. what's your take on everything? >> well, i think the republicans addressed it very effectively last night. they pointed out that this is just an unmanageable situation. now you've got democrats, particularly people in these big cities, formally sanctuary cities. i don't think they want to be call that had anymore. look at eric adams in new york. he knows he's overrun. the dallas mayor just decided to switch parties from democrat to republican. and you've got democrats in texas and other border states who are throwing up their hands and saying to the biden administration, you can't just keep this going. we can't deal with it. but joe biden and his border czar kamala harris seem to be

oblivious to that fact. elizabeth: governor, let's get your reaction to the senator katie britt delivering an enation mall appeal reporting to stories about reporting how truly bad it is at the border and report what border officials and gop officials and lawmakers repeatedly see in their visits to the border. watch senator britt. >> drug cartels, guys. they have their tentacles all over this country. we need you to start telling that story. just the other day in alabama, a gentleman told me if you'll come back here with me in this naked right behind -- neighborhood behind you, you'll see migrants here illegally and they'll tell you about the drug cartels coming around every other week to collect. guys, that's not the american dream. that's an american nightmare. i looked in the eyes of cbp agents saying we're exhausted. we're not only having to be paper pushers and trying to do what we took an oath of office

to do and that is protect this border. when they tell you about finding small children who have drown in that river or pulling a lifeless body of a woman pregnant with twins. it changes the way you think about what's happening because when a woman sits there and she tells you not just about being raped, but how many times a day she's raped. when she tells you about having to lay in that bed while they come in and out and in and out. it's disgusting and it's despicable. folks, you look at the number of people that have died at the border because joe biden has made it more and more enticing to come here. make no mistake, this is a result of failed policies. we could fix this, we can't throw money at this and fix it. we have to actually change the policies. elizabeth: governor, she lit it up. she lit it on fire.

that is a hair on fire moment, the passion that is needed for reporters to hear for voters to hear on how -- governor, you've been talking about this for years on how truly bad it is at the border, governor. >> you know, i think what katie britt did was show a level of authenticity in her passion. this was not a political comment she made in a sterile voice of trying to be partisan. she was speaking as a woman, thinking about the fact that she had talked to people who had experienced being repeatedly raped, and begging the reporters, pay attention to this. there's human suffering. i think it's an important part of what the republican party must do is balance the concern we have over the numbers of people coming and recognize as she most brilliantly and eloquently did that this is a human tragedy. people are being exploited, they're being used, they're being enslaved and the united

states government is apart of that. elizabeth: new york city, they're planning to district flies. you talked about this before. they want to distribute -- they're going to distribute flies to illegal immigrants that say go somewhere else. "the city's resources have been exhausted". "they'll not get any help finding work in new york city". your final word? >> what hypocrisy. they've been a sanctuary city as long as somebody else had the immigrants and had to pay for the problem. suddenly they see some and it's overrunning them and saying get out. you're not welcome. what an irony. elizabeth: got it. >> it's reality hitting home. elizabeth: it is hitting home. governor huckabee, thanks for joining us tonight. good to see you. >> good to see you. elizabeth: new details coming into the studios from house ways and means about the biden family push to sell u.s. energy assets to china. plus, voters are demanding answers. the gop 2024 contenders bats l it out over what they'd do if

elizabeth: okay, the gop contenders really duke it had out over rampant crime plaguing american cities. they put the blame on liberal prosecutors. what are they going to do to fix the problem if they're elected. gerri willis live in new york with the story. >> hi, liz, those candidates are taking a hard line on crime in last night's debate blaming liberal prosecutors and promising to back the blue. listen. >> welshing these law enforcement officers, they arrest these people and then they go and they're let out the

very next day so law enforcement feels like they don't know -- no one has their back. we have to start prosecuting according to the law. we have to make sure we have the backs of law enforcement and we have to make sure that we're a country of law and order. >> haley said she'd end lenient seasoning and bail reform and the solution to appointing a attorney general that prioritizing solving the problem. reducing crime that costs retailers $112 billion in losses last year is no easy task, however, as police departments struggling toll retain and recruit officers, concerns over safety hitting home for american families and businesses. this week alone, target citing theft as the reason it's closing nine stores in high crime urban areas across the country. while in philadelphia, dozens of looters, many juveniles staged an eight hour stealing spree. we spoke to a coffee shop owner in unusually quiet san francisco

neighborhood who said he's been robbed twice this year. >> the services that are out there, we're talking about the police, fire department, the -- whatever the medical community. their hands are tie and they can't do anything. >> getting rid of lenient prosecutors may be easier said than done and ron desantis had the power to simply fire them but as president he said last night heydeys use the justice department to bring civil rights cases against what he called george soros-funneledded prosecutors. funded prosecutors. gavin newsom wasn't on the debate stage but desantis took a jab at him anyway saying two days in simi valley and met three people that had been mugged. liz. elizabeth: gerri, it was amazing what you just did. good stuff, gerri willis. thank you so much. the one and only tudor dixon is here and former michigan candidate for governor and host

of the tudor dixon podcast. welcome. what did you think on the debate on this issue? >> it was pertinent and how can you do this from the standpoint of president and what i love and wanted to see more of is they're not calling it out generally and they're going after the democrats that are in those states, and you have a lot of power from the bully pulpit if you're president and call this out and say clean up your state. we're expecting you to clean up your state. one thing i would say is don't say that the entire country is this way because people don't want to hear that the entire country is falling apart. point out the areas that need to improve and say what you're going to do about that. elizabeth: yeah, before i get to the next news point, what you just said is really interesting because you have dallas, you have dc, they're not talking about -- and detroit, hot spot zones. just focus on the areas and neighborhoods where the crime really is. so you're right, it's not all of the u.s.. just these so-called hot spots. >> absolutely. if i don't live in that area,

i'm going what are they talking about but if they bring it to me and say this is happening and coming to your place. a lot of people seeing this on social media and what we're seeing with the looting and cvs closing and target closing. people don't want that to come to them so that's our opportunity as repub republicann these debates saying we know who's responsible. it has to stop. elizabeth: you mentioned looting. there was a second night of looting in philadelphia. i mean, even after at least 52 were arrested the night before. now, you know, 12 more arrested last night. it's turning into retail desert. a ghost town. something like 18 liqueur stores are shut. four more, you know, four dozen overall. let me back up. at least four dozen liqueur stores shut. so it's a fallout and impact of that and it was turning cities -- sections of them into ghost towns and minority neighborhoods that people need these anchor stores like a cvs or pharmacies. you know what i mean? did you hear enough of that angle from the republicans last

night? >> i didn't hear them calling out the specifics and that's what i think we need to get to. it's hard with seven people on the stage and look at this and say wait a minute, these democrat cities that are voting for these people, are those people coming in and experiencing what you're living because i've heard even in san francisco people don't know where we're going to get groceries. san francisco. elizabeth: also this, former fbi official john miller told cnn's poppy harper lanes well that the looter -- har well that the looters are working in criminal networks and criminal gangs with lookouts and scouts and they're purposely targeting weak on crime cities like new york, philadelphia, los angeles. what do you think of that? >> how sophisticated to you have to be when no one is chasing you. the stores told them don't go after them. we don't want you in danger, i get that. but there's no police or repercussions and i tell my kids don't eat cookies and every day i take them away because they're

eating them and they go back and eat more cookies. there needs repercussions and we don't have that. elizabeth: tudor, you're so smart. go listen to her podcast. coming up, james biden texted hunter biden about getting hep from then 2 2 2020 candidate joe biden on selling gas to cefc. then check in with jackie deangeles filling in for dagen and sean. what's coming up? >> sean: hey, first impeachment inquiry getting hot and virginia fox from virginia and a bull dog in the house. she'll join us as well as doug colins, former member of congress on bind pledging to strengthen democracy in america. jakey: then business -- jackie: then uaw strike and evs killing the jobs and president

elizabeth: look who's here and welcome back to the show from senate armed services.

senator markwayne mullens. welcome -- mullins. welcome to the show. what are you hearing about this story, house lawmakers releasing documents from the fbi showing james biden told the fbi and irs in an interview last september that he and hunter biden tried to help chinese firm cefc buy a u.s. liquid natural gas facility? by that facility in louisiana. that's on monkey island coast. is that true? >> say john smith the chairman of -- jason smith, chairman of ways and means and a very, very close friend of mine and i speak to him all the time and i was speaking to him before i got on tonight to make sure that was correct, so far that's what's showing up. listen, hunter biden was out there every day selling the brand the biden family. knowing that the only asset of the brand was the access to joe biden. at the same time we know they set up 20 different l.l.c.,s

that they funneled 24 ml through to avoid taxes and avoid being identified from foreign entities including entities from china. it looks like everything so far is lining up that it's true. we're in the impeachment inquiry and trying to find out the truth. elizabeth: this irs whistle blower ziegler, he testifies that james biden texted hunter biden on this china cefc energy deal. cefc was a big player in china's belt and road push to dominate u.s. infrastructure and energy. according to the document saying "this can work. i can work with your father alone. we as usual just need several months of his help meeting then candidate joe biden's help". he's running for office. isn't this clear that joe biden was involved in >> ab slight. joe biden clearly lie to do the american people at least ten times by saying he had no direct relationships and ties to hunter

biden's business deals because at the same time, it wasn't a text but through a what's app and that means they were trying to hide what they were doing that basically hunter biden said, hey, i can give complete access to the family and i'm willing to hand over the keys if this deal is profitable for the brand and it's clear that hunter biden was communicating with joe biden. elizabeth: the thing, senator, reports and according to documents, they did this knowing that this cefc chinese company was directly linked to chinese president xi jinping and the head of it was xi jinping's protege. why would the brother and son of biden want to help with u.s. energy assets selling it off? reports indicate president xi jinping, who hunters and business partners refer to as no. 1 in text messages personally approved between the

business partnerships between cefc and the biden family. final word. >> easy, one word, greed. elizabeth: where does it go? where do we go with this? >> what we're doing in the house and thankfully kevin mccarthy and republicans are in charge of the house and doing the impeachment inquiry and every time they meet with a new whistle blower or new documents and james comer and jason jones are doing a great job and they'll build a case and if it leads to an impeachable offense, they'll send to the senate and we'll put joe biden on trial and it'll be hard for him to answer these questions. still, we don't know if it's impeachability because at the same time, liz, we got to believe it's an impeachable offense, it has to be committed while the president was in office. elizabeth: right, that's it. you nailed it. senator markwayne mull in, thank you for joining us -- mull linn. thank you for joining us.

great thinker. tammy, it's good to see you again. senator chuck schumer, is he losing credibility -- [laughter] from his fellow democrats? i mean, the the senate just unanimously reinstated the dress code in a rebuke to him. he had unilaterally gotten rid of it for senator john fetterman. what do you think? >> i think that there is a level of chaos, we know that, in general not just in congress, but with both parties as they try to figure out why the country's on fire. and this is an example of that where you've got people so out of touch and just kind of in their own bubble that, you know, nobody can really figure out what the pro part of this was. what was he getting by doing this? it was like a race ott bottom. to the bottom. so it's good that we did see that republicans and democrats could work together and get something done, and that was nice because it was mitt romney and joe manchin, so there they are, you know, they got something done. and thousand it's normal -- now it's formal. before it was informal.

john fetterman is now responsible for finally formalizing the rule that just says business attire. just wear business attire. and everybody knows, and this is i think a sign of why this was a problem, that even if you're depressed, we're told that, you know, the senator was depressed and he has that history, all of us have been depressed at one point in the last few years. we know that to get out of that is to have some respect for yourself and the people around you, to get dressed, right? to take a shower, to get out of the house, and this guy was doing the opposite. and you're not going to denigrate yourself or that environment if you really want to become healthier and better. so none of this made any sense, and it'll be better for him and better for the senate. elizabeth: yeah. the other thing too is senator schumer is still silent as about 30 senators demand bob menendez resign. it looks like they're going to move the votes over the weekend to do a stopgap government

funding bill with. there's fights over border security in that too. so it's more than the john fetterman fight. you know what i mean, tammy in. >> i think, again, general chaos. and especially when you're looking at the nature of the menendez situation. perfect example of kind of the culture of corruption. he was, you know, indicted before, had a trial, there was a hung jury and it was, like, 10-2 acquitting him. so he's not going to resign. that is his main point of power. there's 40 no reason for him to do that. but on top of that, this is kind of similar to the what's happening with joe biden. it's almost as though they're now trying to show that they care about the corrupt nature of the swamp which is really a sewer at this point, and they're trying to make him an example as the election comes up. but he's going nowhere, and he's not, i don't think, an anomaly. that's why things don't happen quickly. it could be like dominoes. you push one over, and that entire lineup of dominoeses is going to go with it.

so as americans, we're seeing that now, and that's why you're seeing the polls, that's why the country's on fire. because the worst people among us are making the decision and are ruining our lives, perhaps because it's the only way they can feel superior. elizabeth: got it. tammy bruce, your terrific. listen to tammy anytime you can, is so smart. be sure to tune in tomorrow. we've got congressman andy biggs, congresswoman kat cammack. we'll stay on the hot headlines, the news of the day for you. i'm elizabeth macdonald. thank you so much for watching "the evening edit" on fox business. now it's time for "the bottom line." jackie's filling in for dagen. sean: thank you, e-mac, with we appreciate it. jackie: good to see you. ♪ ♪ sean: good evening, i'm sean duffy -- jackie: and i'm jackie deangelis welcome to "the bottom line."
