the 5 every weekday on 5 p.m. eastern. up next "the o'reilly factor" good night from new york city. ♪ ♪ hi, i'm jesse watters in for bill o'reilly. thanks thanks for watching this o'reilly factor special election 2016. let's get straight to our top story, donald trump on offense. after big shakeups in his campaign staff this week, trump pulled no punches against hillary clinton on the campaign trail. >> hillary clinton is a throw back to an ugly past where politicians preyed on our poorest citizens while selling them out for personal gain. promises, promises, all talk, no action, all talk, no action politicians.

they talk, talk, talk. you vote them in with great fanfare, and then they do nothing. with trump, that's not going to happen. >> but on thursday, we heard trump speak in a way we have never heard before. >> sometimes in the heat of debate, and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words, or you say the wrong thing. i have done that. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] and, believe it or not, i regret it. particularly where it may have caused personal pain too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these

issues. but one thing i can promise you this. i will always tell you the truth. >> so the question remains, is trump doing enough to beat hillary in november? joining us now for analysis congressman sean duffy, a republican from wisconsin. and leslie rutledge, the attorney general of arkansas, both are surrogates for the trump campaign. so we know, mr. trump likes to make nicknames. he had crooked hillary and line ted, i heard his family is giving him a new nickname it is humble trump. because he is now, for the first time, expressed regret. so this is obviously a monumental moment in this campaign. we know trump has a big wallet and big permanent. now you are beginning to see trump with a big heart. i want to ask you guys, do you think he will effectively be able to balance the big hearted, compassionate donald trump which we have started to see

with the tough guy, law and order, take no prisoners donald trump that we know and some of us love? >> when he is delivering his compassionate, heart felt, humble message, he is authentically trump. i mean, he is who he has always been. and i think what he is doing with this message is, he is appealing to women. but, also, how he has crafted this message, is he going after those who are disenfranchised by the economy. being a change agent and saying, listen, if you want more of the same and expect different results you will be sorely mistaken. if you want somebody who can change it, i'm your guy. i thought one of the most impressive line from two nights ago was when he said why can't our children be dreamers, too? that appeals to every parent who has a child who wants their kid to have a shot at the american dream. i thought he was pulling at heart strings and delivering the right message for the first time since he has won the primary four months ago. >> yeah, he is definitely striking a more unifying

tone. he is kind of rising above the politics and looking at all americans. >> yeah. >> leslie, kellyanne conway great pollster on the trump pain, she is credited with this kind of newer, softer trump. because we all know, men will never admit when they're wrong. men never make a mistake and when they do they will never admit it pause it's a sign of weakness. now, when i make a mistake because i'm such an evolved person, i always apologize. trump apologizing kind of. do you think this will appeal to women and do you think that is what this is all about? >> i think this week we have seen the real donald trump come out. stating that he regrets using some of those words that were, perhaps, unwise but what we are seeing is that donald trump is honest. he is straightforward. and sloot contrast to hillary clinton who loys on top of lies. what we are seeing from these speeches are he has given hope.

acandidate has said donald trump is a change agent. that's what americans need. that's why he is talking to folks in inner cities and across our great country because they need jobs. that's what donald trump is going to bring to the table are jobs and be a change agent. hillary clinton, quite frankly, she will just be secretary of the same. same old failed policies of barack obama. same failed job growth that we have seen across our country for the last seven years. and we don't need four more years of secretary of the same in hillary clinton. we need a change agent in donald trump. >> i think if he runs as change, i think he wins this election. he just has to get out of his own way. the election right now is boiling down to you have hillary clinton, who he is tagging as the lying, incompetent, runner of a rigged system that you cannot trust and is going to deliver you the same failed policies as president obama, or you have an outsider businessman that's going to tell you the truth, most of the time, and it's going to really hurt.

but, he is going to never lie to you. and if he can frame it that way, and tie hillary in to the policies of president obama, and create a more uplifting, unifying tone, he has a much better chance at winning independents. and at changing the map around. and even rallying his own base. because i think the base loves the trump that they have seen the last week and a half with the teleprompter and going to milwaukee where there is pain and suffering. going to louisiana where there is pain and suffering. i think you are seeing a come back. would you agree that this is the trump come back? >> it is. >> jesse, i would -- >> -- that's why people are coming out in droves and talking -- people are reaching out to me from across the country saying this is the donald trump we are excited about. this is the donald trump that's going to bring america and put us back on our feet again. put us back to work. we want to update our resume that hillary clinton, you know, she started her career. she and bill clinton did in the same office that i hold as attorney general, their

career of corruption. people are tired of the same old, same old in washington, d.c. they are ready for that change agent. >> and jesse, do you think he will change anything else or do you think his trajectory is on the right path? >> if he does what he has been doing for the last week, week and a half, i think donald trump is going to win this election. if you have been to one of his rallies, which i was at the one in milwaukee, the power of the energy that comes from the people that come out to see him is absolutely overwhelming. and i think he was taken by that and like to be off script and feed the crowd. but he had to realize i'm not just talking to the crowd. i have got millions of people who see my speech for the next five days. >> that's right. he can be on script, jesse. >> >> if he gets gu beyond the big crowds and feeding off the electricity and looks long term i think is he going to be great. guys, i have got to run. thank you very much. >> he gets poet. >> donald trump has just released his first national tv ad. we will tell you about his dire warning about hillary clinton directly ahead.

in the impact segment tonight, donald trump just came out with his first tv ad against hillary clinton. let's have a look. >> in hillary clinton's america, the system stays rigged against americans. syrian refugees flood in. illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay, collecting social security benefitsing the line. our border open, it's more of the same, but worse. donald trump's america is secure, terrorists and dangerous criminals kept out. the border secure. our families safe. change that makes america safe again. donald trump for president. >> i'm donald trump, and i approve this message. >> the tv 5-million-dollar

ad buy will run in florida, ohio, north carolina, and pennsylvania through august 29th. joining us from miami for reaction. bruce, the ceo of brands and the author of the book "all about them." and in the studio peter shankman, founder of shank minds. so pretty slick ad, well produced. a contrast ad between hillary's america and donald trump's america. i was struck by how he was able to kind of coalesce the illegal immigration at this border with the muslim refugee crisis. do you think that was effective? >> it was effective. what we are seeing now is donald trump taking a stab at being presidential. just the fact that we heard him i'm donald trump and i approve this message. he has been running for president well over a year and he has never said that. to hear him say that, that tells me that someone in his campaign said, lock, every time you go off the rails, as it were, you give hillary ammo to ignore you.

so, let's make her not ignore you by doing something that she does. right? she puts outed as like this as presidential candidates do. let's make you a presidential candidate. >> i thought it was a pretty good ad. bruce, if you look at the ad it's also a shot at hillary's trustworthiness. he links her to the rigged system. to the people that aren't waiting in line that are committing crimes and are allowed to stay. and makes it seem like it's all one in the same and she is going to be a third term of president obama. more of the same, but even worse. did you pick up on that? >> yeah. i thought that was a very effective line, more of the same but even worse. which is actually an oxymoron, isn't it? that's what he has to do. if it's a referendum, the election, that is. if it's a referendum about him, he loses. if he can move the attention on to her and play it into the congruency and continuousness of what he has been saying all along, he has the opportunity to move the message.

the fascinating thing is to rise above, to take our partisan hats off and look at it as marketing technique. and in marketing technique, this is classic. what he is doing. he knows or his people are doing. he knows who his audience is, suburban security moms. >> right. >> he knows how to go after them. >> you saw at the end they have the image of the family. and this isn't just targeted at american workers or middle age white guys. you have the family there who needs protection from these outside influences. >> that was an interesting point that he went after people that hillary had a focus on for the past year. it almost reminded me of the bomb ad back in the 1960's, the one that changed the entire race. >> yeah, i was around for that. >> the basic premise that you're security, not just jobs, not just -- your family's security. this 3-year-old child of your's security is up for grabs. that is something we haven't seen. >> we also have a hillary clinton ad that we want to

play for you. here is hillary clinton's more famous spot. take a look. >> i'm hillary clinton, and i approve this message. >> as a line of clothing, where were these made? >> these were made, i don't know where they were made. but they were made some place but they are great. >> it's ties, shirts, cuff links sold at macy's and they are doing great. >> where are the shirts made. >> bangladesh. >> that's good we employ people in bangladesh. >> ties. these are beautiful ties. where are they made in china? the ties are made in china. >> look at the face on donald trump when letterman got him. letterman still doing all the heavy lifting for the democrats. even four years later. bruce, what did you think about that? pretty cute ad, wouldn't you say? >> also, once again, very strategic. what's that old saying when your enemy is destroying themselves, stay out of the way. the best thing hillary clinton can do is show us that donald trump that we

have been seeing and show us the hypocrisy. show us the alloveness, show us the lack of compassion. notice what was longest on that ad it, want him, it wasn't the interviewers, it was the audience laughing when the tie was from china and he smerkd and the audience laughing and laughing and laughing. why? because the message is he is going to make us a laughing stock. is he going to embarrass us. this is going to continue to happen. very sophisticated advertising we are looking at. >> do you think it was a little rich that hillary clinton, who is raking in all this money from foreign enterprises and got caught taking the silverware out of the white house when she left for new york after her i husband was finished is accusing donald trump as being greedy? >> exact same thing where you have donald trump doing the same thing. this is what they do. this is how the other side screwed up. let's play off of this. the problem that trump is having right now he has said a lot more things. he has given hillary a lot more rope in which he can be hung from the things he said. you know, he loves to be on

television. all the stuff that he did prior to running for president. that's coming back. that's just fodder that she can continue to use. >> that's why bill o'reilly can never use for president. >> exactly. >> he has years and years were that they can cut up into a 30 second spot. >> telling peter and i that we are wrong over and over and over. >> exactly. >> that's true, that could take up a few years. and if you look at the stats here, trump, i think this ad buys about 4 or $5 million. it's his first one, hillary is out there spending tens of millions of dollars in this battleground states. is that too little, too late. >> that's the advertising. he is able to use his platform. every time he said something crazy he was on the front page. hillary never did that. she spent the money more traditionally. what trump is realize something using that platform works for extended period of time until you are in the general. now you are in the general it has to be some tradition there. >> bruce, real quick, who is going to win the ad wars? hillary or donald trump? >> hillary is going to win the ad wars.

remember that saying don't hate me because i'm beautiful. don't hate her because she has the money and she knows what she is doing. this team is in place. they are doing it right. trump is playing catch up. >> that's right. i think trump needs to spend some apprentice money. put some of that money to work on the air. >> a lot of it. >> bruce, peter, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> donald trump visited with the victims of devastating floods in louisiana today. and while obama continued to vacation in martha's vineyard, hillary clinton warned that a visit to flood ravaged louisiana could be a distraction. to go or not to go. we'll debate it up next.

personal story segment tonight, trump the consoler? floods have devastated louisiana in reentd days, killing 13. and damaging an estimated 40,000 homes. donald trump and his running mate mike pence traveled to louisiana today to assess the damage victims. the issue to challenge for president obama to do the same i just got back from the tour of the suffering and devastation in louisiana. honestly, obama ought to get off the golf course and get down there. earlier in the day president obama announced he will visit the pelican state next week after he finishes his vacation. hillary clinton currently has no plans to visit the flooded areas but encouraged her supporters to help

charities in the region. is this a political win tore donald trump? withs now for analysis in tampa adam goodman, a republican communications strategist and in the studio jessica tarlov, a democratic strategist. so president obama got shamed in the going down there, didn't he? >> he just wants to do whatever donald trump is doing. so he was like when can i get down there now that the trump train has been in town. >> and you remember when senator obama criticized george w. bush. >> i do yes. >> for his reaction to katrina. >> fly over katrina, yes. >> and now obama is vacationing and golfing and it's the same thing. >> no. obama fema special, dhs officials down there. the governor of louisiana actually asked for people not to come down for photo ops. they said volunteer or donate your money. listen, i think it's a great move that donald trump when democrats criticized george bush they were saying it's just a photo op., it's just

a photo op. bush was saying i'm going to get in the way. now president obama doesn't want to get in the way? that's okay. >> i think president obama should have gone. i have been saying this consistently. this is one of those times and instances where he digs in his heels. i don't think it's worth it right now he is 54% approval. right now donald trump is headed downwards. obama has been great for hillary clinton. i think it's appropriate and great that he is going to go ad word toggle everybody democrats are the i feel your pain. president obama did k. throw on a polo and get in front of a camera on the vineyard for five minutes saying i feel your pain, this is what we're doing. he stunt too it and donald trump goes there and fills the leadership void. >> well, i can tell you this, jesse. and jessica, both. leaders are known best for what they do in crisis. you are known best and remembered most for what you

do. you look at examples of that all throughout political history. you see jeb bush here in florida. known best for what he did with hurricane charlie and a series of hurricanes that followed. really measured up. nikki haley in south carolina with that horrible shooting in the church at the emanuel ame she stood up and measured up. the best example is rudy giuliani in new york when after 9/11 he held a country together through command and empathy. these are things you look for in terms of leadership strife. donald trump actually came up big today on that score. i think he needed to. i guess it comes down to, this jesse. when the chips are on the table. you show up. when someone is in trouble, you show up. just like friends. the president, the president in particular, jessica, the president in particular, he didn't show up when terrorists struck in paris over a year ago. he didn't show up. he was in a baseball game in havana when they hit again in brussels. when it comes to big moments like that you expect someone who really cares to be there

he does have icy streak. remember the golfing after american beheaded. he flies off the tang doe. >> talk about hurricane sandy. talk about the. >> great photo op. enemy hurricane sandy with christie on the beach. >> there are unfortunately so many tragedies that plague this country on a regular basis. you are dealing with 320 million people. and i totally take both of your points here. i would just say for you to make it out that president obama never shows up is patently rebic columbus. >> i just think that donald trump showed a little more political agility than president obama. >> you are just excited because he read from a teleprompter twice in one week. >> and, yes, everybody is very happy is he back on prompter. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> plenty more ahead in this o'reilly factor special election 2016.

did we pay ransom to iran? there are more developments on the $400 million in cash the obama administration sent to the iranians. we will tell you about it up next. tired of re-dosing antacids? try duo fusion! new, two in one heartburn relief. the antacid goes to work in seconds... and the acid reducer lasts up to 12 hours in one chewable tablet. try new duo fusion. from the makers of zantac. amazing sleep stays with you all day and all night.

in the factor follow-up segment tonight, earlier this month the "wall street journal" revealed that a 400-million-dollar cash payment from the u.s. government to iran in january coincided with the

release of five american prisoners from iranian custody. still, president obama was adamant that the cash transfer was not. >> we do not pay ransom. we won't in the future. precisely if we did, then we would started encouraging americans to be targeted much in the same way that some countries that do pay ransom have a lot more of their citizens being taken by various groups. >> yesterday the u.s. government acknowledged for the first time that the $400 million was used as, quote, leverage to glt the americans back. when you are in inside that 24-hour period and you already now have concerns about the end game in terms of getting your americans out, it would have been foolish and prudently irresponsible for not to try to maintain maximum leverage. so, if you are asking me was there a connection in that regard at the end fame, i'm not going to deny that.

>> joining us now for reaction is from washington is david that fury, an attorney and former state department official yes becca hendrix fellow at the hudson institute. so, david, if it's not related and the cash and hostage release was merely a coincidence. then why two weeks later is it related because it's leverage to guarantee the release. >> i'm really glad that the spokesman called this leverage. that's what it is. he is admitted they were rinked however this was not a ransom payment. we had an obligation to make this payment as a settlement of a tribunal case at the hague. we were going to have to pay it anyway. we just used the payment as leverage to make sure we got our american prisoners back

that's not paying ransom that's smart tactics. >> i wouldn't pay it smart. i don't know if we had to pay it the last five presidents didn't pay it and they didn't think it should have been paid. >> nobody disputes the fact kirby's story changed. why should we believe him now first he said there was no link and now he says there was a link. the cash plane didn't take off until the hostages r. were back. aim right. >> incorrect to say there was no link. there was a link. these were two unrelated transactions linked together by the state department to use the secure the release of our americans. >> that sounds like gobblably gook. rebecca, i have a definition of ransom okay? i'm a simple man even more simple than bill o'reilly, people would say. ransom, money that is paid in order to free someone who

has been captured that's what kirby just admitted they did. >> bottom line we would not have gotten our four american hostages backs if we had not given $400 million. that was a down payment. it's $1.7 billion. if you want to talk about who owes who what? the iranian government owes billions of dollars to families of victims of terrorism that they are responsible for. right now the iranian government is going to take that money that the obama administration handed over to them, forked over to them and they are going to use it to fund assad, who is just murdering mimg, women and children. fund hezbollah. that is what that money is for. shame. iranian people know it's a ransom. continue to take american people hostages. they have taken two more since that deal. they know there is a bounty.

president said we don't pay ransom because it encourages bad actors to take more hostages. if it wasn't ransom, then why have the iranians tan three more american hostages since the payment was made? >> he is right about the fact that we should not pay ransom. however, the process of getting prisoners released is not a clean, nice business. we are not dealing with boy scouts, we're dealing with tyrannical regime that took our americans hostage and prisoned them under irrelevant, improper charges. so we needed to get them back we used this payment as referring. >> we paid them because we needed to get the hostages back. that sounds like ransom i think you just admitted it. you just said it. >> it can't be ransom if it's a payment had you to make anyway. we had to make it anyway because we had to settle

this case first president in 30 years to make it. >> carter, reagan, bush, clinton and the other bush, neither president wanted to pay this money. all of the sudden obama says we have to pay it so we made it we didn't have to do it? >> jesse, jesse, nobody disputes the fact that this tribunal case was coming to a conclusion. did it take a long time? yes. it was coming to the conclusion. there was about to a be a judgment against the u.s. that was going to be for a lot more. nobody disputed that fact. we settled it for 1.7 billion. the 400 million was the first payment. we made that payment contingent on getting our americans back. that's what contingent. >> contingent on getting the measures back. >> that should have never been in jail in the iran in the first place. >> i agree. we are in agreement on that. it's just the tactics were wrong. and i think the american public sees it i think to myself, if president obama says if you like your healthcare you can keep it,

and then that's a lie, why should we believe it when he says it's not ransom? this guy doesn't have a great track record especially when it comes to negotiations, rebecca. this is the same president that did the bergdahl trade. that did the debt ceiling fiasco. this guy has not done well when the chips are down. >> no, basically what president obama does he goes to the iranians and says what can we do for you? they give him a laundry list and he bends over backwards to figure out how he can actually deliver on everything that the iranians want there is nothing that the iranians would say that they want that it seems that the obama administration is not willing to provide them. so we have got several months left of this administration and the iranians are going to try to wring it out for all they can get. >> that's right. who knows what could happen in the next three months. we could have more deals. we could be bribing, you know, the guy in north korea. who knows what's coming next. david and rebecca, thank you very much. >> thank you.

>> the clinton foundation announced it will scale back fundraising effort if hillary wins the election. is this too little, too late? we'll have a debate directly ahead. i am totally blind. i lost my sight in afghanistan. if you're totally blind, you may also be struggling with non-24. calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com.

i'm going to make this as simple as possible for you. you can go ahead and stick with that complicated credit card that limits where you earn bonus cash back. or... you can get the quicksilver card from capital one. quicksilver earns you unlimited 1.5% cash back on ev-e-ry purchase, ev-e-ry-where. i shouldn't have to ask. what's in your wallet?

but thanks to booking.com to everything turned out perfect. [crying] weird, but perfect. [flute] thanks for staying with

us for this special edition of the factor. i'm jesse watters in for bill o'reilly. in the unresolved problem segment tonight, more clinton foundation controversy. charges are flying that donors to the clinton foundation gained undue influence at the state department while hillary was secretary of state. apparently to quell the attacks the clinton foundation now says it won't take foreign or corporate money if hillary wins the presidency. the question is why is this announcement coming that you? joining us for analysis in washington is julie epstein an attorney and democratic strategist and here in studio kristin tate, a conservative columnist and author of the new book. "government gone wild." we sure have a lot of that. julian, if donald trump had a foundation and it's august and he is running for president, and the russians are funneling millions of dollars into the donald

trump foundation would you have a problem with that? >> yeah. >> what is the difference. >> the difference is the clinton foundation the donors are public. in the case of donald trump he does not disclose his extensive ties with russia in the same paul manafort. >> you would be okay that the russians disclosed they were donating millions of dollars? >> i think disclosure is first. and i think at least in the case of the clinton foundation you have extensive disclosure. in the case of donald trump, you have got even what his son has admitted. extensive financial ties and the changing of the republican platform position in favor of the russians. >> julian, i want to get you "on the record. can you get you on the record? you would be okay with russian money, publicly dishossed pouring in to a donald trump foundation on the eve of a presidential election? >> well, when you say russian money, money from the russian government probably not.

money from russian nationals if it were properly disclosed would be much better than what we have right now. >> then hillary clinton, hillary clinton can take. >> the complaints about clinton administration is much different. >> interest on the eve of a presidential election, you are okay with that then? >> well, she just said, she just said that if elected she wouldn't take it from corporations. >> she is going to keep taking it for the next three months? kristin, come on this is crazy. >> george bush's takes money. >> hold on, julian. >> to pretend that it's somehow honorable for hillary clinton to tell her foundation to stop taking donations from foreign entities and corporations is laughable. the damage has been done. the clinton foundation has taken ten its of millions of dollars from foreign entities and guess what, jesse, these entities expect something in return. we know that she took millions of dollars from a foreign entity and then the owner of this russian company acquired 20% of the united states rawrm mining capacity and now thanks to judicial watch we know that

a clinton foundation employee approached the state department for special favors for a lebanese donor. i mean, what is it going to take to put this woman in jail? liberals will make excuse after excuse for her. and i just want to ask the question to our fellow guest here. would you be okay with a president who continuously breaks the law over and over with impunity and then lies about breaking the law and then lies about lying about it. what's it going to take for liberals to stop defending a candidate who is blatantly breaking the law? >> go ahead, julian. >> the problem with all of that with all due respect it doesn't seem like you have a good command on what the law is people made allegations that she was breaking the law in the case of the email controversy, a republican head of the fbi director came out and essentially exonerated her on the criminal statutes. in this case. >> well, she also said she was a reckless liar and shouldn't be trusted with classified information. >> excuse me, jesse.

kristin, you just made the case she broke the law. you had a broke head of the fbi who said the opposite. in this case if you are talking about donations from foreign governments or foreign entities to a fill tropic organization most organizations too take money, particularly organizations that do lots of important work, aids, malaria and everything else the clinton foundation let me respond to the legal issue because you made accusation. in order for you to have any semblance of a legal case, you must show that the state department under hillary clinton took some kind of official action in exchange for foreign donation. you come on the program, say she violated the law and do you what everyone else does. you hide behind that general statement without giving specifics. there is no single example that anyone can show that the clinton state department did anything in exchange for. >> can i tell you why, julian. >> yeah, why? >> the obama justice department blocked the fbi probe into the clinton foundation. >> exactly right. >> that's why they haven't found anything.

because they blocked the probe. >> because there wasn't any basis for a probe. >> because they decided there wasn't any basis. >> guys, i spent years with the justice department on these kinds of matters. in order for the justice department to get them, you have to have a semblance or appearance of some kind of legal violation. you aren't each close to an appearance of a legal or statutory violation. you are not even close to an appearance of an ethical violation. it's fine for you to say foreign donors shouldn't be given to the clinton foundation and making some allegation about somebody getting access or not, that's a silly. >> these are all excuses. if donald trump did the same thing that hillary clinton did, the press would be calling for him to be thrown in jail. >> it's a cheap shot. it's a cheap shot. >> we have got to run. we have got to run. >> great debate. julian, thank you very much. great suit. all right. a quick footnote. remember to check out the contributing factor podcast post hosted by bill o'reilly factor producer robert samuel. the latest episode features fox news catherine herridge

with the latest updates with the fbi's investigation into the clinton foundation. you can find that uses technoloe only in doctors' offices. for deep penetrating relief at the source. new aleve direct therapy.

a sand wish sign? unbelievable. detain them forever. >> well, that is what happens when in the that's why they were saying they were robbed at gunpoint because a security guard did detain them with a gun. >> okay. so they caused a little drama late at night. they were obviously hammered. no one remembers anything. they might have embellished and rock at this gets out with a gold on the flight back to the states. his buddy on the swim team are left holding the bag. >> faster than he can swim. >> i know. this guy knows what he is doing. not that smart but did he get out quickly. then they shake down one of the swimmers. do i have that right? hand over cash? basically a ransom if you will. >> that's how we get most americans out of foreign countries 11,000 ransom to brazillian charity which a nice touch. >> okay is it the clinton foundation charity? >> lochte issued an apology on social media. >> okay. or the first line i want to apologize for my behavior
