tv   The Factor  FOX News  April 21, 2017 5:00pm-6:01pm PDT

5:00 pm
you've got that look panic in your eyes. >> martha: we do have to have that talk, but we'll do it next week when the 100 days comes to a right. have a fantastic weekend. see you on day number five, everybody. i'm martha maccallum. good night. ♪ >> i'm greg gutfeld. thank you for watching this final edition of "the factor." a strange and historic day for all of us on the show. we will talk more about that later on the program. but first, our top story. donald trump's first 100 days is upon us. of course, the president greets it with a tweet. writing, no matter how much i accomplished during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, and it has been a lot, including sc -- which i believe means submitting down the supreme court, media will kill her. maybe he's right. >> the irony is nobody is focused on the first 100 days.
5:01 pm
since fdr, more than donald trump. he's the one setting this standard. >> you are ending your first 100 days -- it's not a great way to start your second 100 days. >> greg: anyway, checkpoints like the first 100 days are created for the hapless media to shape and spin. does the world change on day 101? wasn't much different on day 99? nope. and no. even more, trying to gauge the trump presidency this really isn't as easy as it seems. it's like cooking a 20-pound turkey, it could take 5-6 hours. checking trump's progress right now it's like opening the oven after an hour has passed. it's way too soon. especially when you president makes a negotiation that unfolds over time, which is a departure from the false notion of urgency that president obama with employee daily. every issue from obamacare to
5:02 pm
everything was acting out or the die. but president trump is playing a longer again, the best deal over time, which means holding out the position that changes later. that's why the 100 days assessment is like slicing into that bird wanted still thawing. it's continuing this wonderful cooking analogy, trump has 5-6 pots on the burners. some of the issues need refinement, less salt, more oregano. we saw that with the travel ban. it's these multiple ongoing processes that make sense of uncertainty, which is natural. you see, trump has freed us from the prison of two ideas. you had to be for something or against something. it's either war or peace, free trade or schism, amnesty or the wall. turns out there are endless
5:03 pm
opportunities, whether it's syria, trade, china. china! one day, he's mean. next, he's nice. he calls canada at a dear friend, then wraps them on the knuckles. he makes fun of ben carson, then put them on the cabinet. the result of this unconventional style is this uncertainty that keeps our adversaries guessing. but it also makes the rest of us nervous too. which is okay. that's normal. we are all in this together. and relax. it's just the first 100 days. we've got another 1360 to go. at least. joining us now for reaction, tim graham, executive editor of news buster, and jessica karloff, a democratic pollster and strategist. jessica, admit it, it's been an amazing 100 days, hasn't it? >> the best 100 days of my life! no. actually, your monologue was quite persuasive to me. i'm not a full convert, but i do believe, you know, our first president who hasn't been a politician, he's got a lot to learn. he has people in his office and
5:04 pm
cabinet who are not politicians, so there's a lot of room to grow there, clearly. everyone wants the president to succeed and at least from my side, those 1360 days, not the more options that you gave, there's a lot we can do to work together here. i do say there are some outstanding issues that are pretty clear failures like what happened with the health care bill, paul ryan did not help them there, obviously. the travel ban, as you mentioned. when you say, you know, he's not someone who picks yes or no. on the campaign trail, he really did. he said he was definitively for certain things, now he's waffling on with draining the swamp and everyone there is from goldman sachs, which personally, i like gary: cohn, that's wonderful for me. i wonder about his base who promised certain things, i'm not sure they are going to get them. >> greg: there are certain things he has to stick to and other things he can give up. when you are a campaigner, you are different than when you were actually governing the
5:05 pm
the health care and travel ban. again, those are things that are ongoing. it takes a longer time for that to evolve because he is negotiating. it starts at one place. >> absolutely. but he did say -- and the hundred days is created by the candidates himself. hillary clinton talked about his abolishment in the first 100 days, so he did make promises about this. i'm not fully convinced he thought it was a good idea, but paul ryan said i've got the numbers so he went with that. he has some growing to do there in also who he can trust and what he can put his name on. >> greg: weigh in on this. does an assessment at 100 days, isn't it kind of hard to do with president trump and does it matter? >> well, no. i think you are right. it is an artificial measuring stick. as usual, we can expect the media to take that stick and beat trump over the head with it. does anyone remember now bill clinton trying to nominate an attorney general? we went through, you know --
5:06 pm
nobody remembers this! because janet reno was attorney general for 20 years. i mean, obviously, this is one of those things where the media is just in a complete festival of hate. if you go back eight years, which you will find the kind of coverage they were giving obama, "they got a puppy!" >> the stimulus is different from a puppy. those are two separate things. >> was the stimulus of success? >> arguably asked! that's another segment altogether, but for you to compare it, oh, obama -- it puppy! that's really playing it down. i read all of that. >> yeah. i am saying he was received -- obama was received as a savior, those for 100 days, he was perceived as the savior in chief, and we had eco-years of them the lightning over how he would sing or who he had in the white house to sing. they were all kinds of that.
5:07 pm
that's what's really missing now. >> greg: do you know what's interesting? go ahead do you know what's interesting, donald trump doesn't play into these obvious opportunities, he doesn't even have a dog. he could've gotten all those dog stories. "you know what, i'm so good at this job, screw the dog, i'm sticking to policy, i'll go after the stuff and let them worry about the fact -- by the way, they did stories about how he didn't have a dog! including me. i did that story. >> it's a good story. it's really weird. who doesn't want a dog? >> the media isn't giving them a break even though you look over the hundred days. has anything bad truly happen? that you can point? >> that's really out of the ordinary? things are going to happen every day. that's something that donald trump was missing in his understanding of what went on under the obama presidency. you know, it's in the an enormous country. there will be strategy every
5:08 pm
single day. the president only has so much power to control that. does the media not like donald trump which meant i would say on the whole no, he created this antagonistic relationship with them and you reap what you sow in a certain point. >> it started... it didn't start with trump. the media was -- if you look at the first day of the trump campaign, it was all mockery. like, who thinks this guy ever is going to win? that will never happen. >> do you think it's about that stage coming down the escalator with all the pain people there to greet him and malani a >> all: >> greg: do you remember >> greg: everyone was wearing a white jacket. it was nuts. we have to move on. when we come right back, breaking news. a french presidential ended that is pessimistic about winning a war on terror. we will how tell you how france is reacting to the latest terror attacks in paris when we return. do not touch that dial.
5:09 pm
5:10 pm
5:11 pm
>> greg: in the impact segment tonight. on thursday night, a gunman killed a police officer and wounded three others on one of paris' famous streets for france's presidential election which was scheduled for sunday. president trump weighed in on the matter this morning, tweeting "another terrorist attack in paris, the people of france will not take more of this period will have a big effect on the presidential election." in france, where the election will be held on sunday, one of the ex-interest candidates he resigned to it saying, "this imponderable threat, this threat will be a fact of daily life in the coming years." joining us now with the latest, fox news chief washington correspondent james rosen. i've got to ask you, has there been any update in this crime will! is there a second suspect out their equipment are they assuming it's one guy? >> for the moment, it seems like all the efforts are focused on learning more about the one guy who was shot while trying to
5:12 pm
escape after he killed the police officer and shot three other people. out to tumbled from his body we learned from the french authorities today after he was shot a note in which he had words of praise for daesh, or isis as we call it here. this was a terrorist event, greg. >> greg: is it likely that isis claim something after the fact that -- they had not executed this, they had inspired it? >> right. that serves their propaganda purposes. we've seen that in the number of cases where isis claimed credit or some sort of affinity with one of these individuals who is involved in this kind of atrocity whether or not in fact, relate, isis had anything directly to do with that individual. it was an interesting comment, though, that you mention from emmanuelle macron, the centrist candidate, that he indicated this is the new normal.
5:13 pm
we have to commit ourselves to this kind of event for the procedure foreseeable future. that's not a winning posture of a candidate, but that doesn't remind me of an incredible brilliant cartoon that ran in the new yorker after 9/11. it showed the classic evolutionary sequence that there is a primordial ooze, and fish rising from it. it starts to walk on two legs, and it starts to walk upright. the last panel in the sequence in "the new yorker" cartoon showed a man in the suit and tie, sharing a briefcase, going through a -- this kind of thing, post 9/11, is here to stay with us. >> thank you, james, for explaining an entire cartoon to our audience. i do agree, i don't think the candidate -- i think he was being honest about the nature of the world. it might hurt him. anyway, james, thank you. from our analysis, fox news contributor lieutenant colonel ralph peters who joins us from washington.
5:14 pm
colonel peters, what is your take on the terror attack in paris. will it have an effect on the election. and also, should it have an effect? >> well, first of all, with the statement by macron that this is the new normal, greg, we should hammer politicians when they tell us lies, but they shouldn't hammer them when they tell us the true. the politicians in europe and here who have been saying, "this is here and it's not going away fast" are telling the truth. because the civilization of islam in the middle east has collapsed into barbarity, spread to europe, touches us here, and it's not going to be solved for decades, if at all. will it affect the french elections which make it will affect the first round. it may garner some more votes from marie le pen who is an absolute far right nutcase -- >> greg: really? >> yet. any american conservative who thinks marie le pen, who takes loans from vladimir putin,
5:15 pm
praises russia, wants the e.u. out of nato, is america's friend, is not doing his or her homework. the bottom line is we have to fight terrorism every single day. i want every terrorist to dad. but the reality is unless we want to turn our societies to police states, to pervade people from driving cars, prevent people from driving weapons, you will have the small scale attacks. unfortunately, there is going to be a price we have to pay. >> greg: the small-scale attacks are becoming more relevant perhaps because we are becoming better at stopping the larger scale. >> absolutely. you are right. >> greg: is a weird thing to think about maybe this is an improvement, even though it is horrible. my worry is it only takes one. and as you see a marriage of technology to terror, it's not going to be a car. it's going to be a drone that you can send away for with anthrax, it could be smallpox if the guy is a doctor, it worries
5:16 pm
me that there was going to be an evolution toward a more devastating style of attack in the coming years that will make the stuff look kind of small. >> i mean, that's important because our enemies are often ingenious. we have seen isis and before al qaeda do brilliant things. the complex aerial ballet of 9/11, using our common tools against us, was brilliant. yes, we have to be prepared. at the same time, we can't live in fear. >> greg: right. >> we have to recognize the fact that as you said we got very good at taking down the big plots. now the problem are the jailbird converts, the sudden converts, this guy in paris seems to be. >> greg: right. >> i do remind people, i have no sympathy with terror. i want those suckers dad, dad, dad as far as the threat of islamist terry goes, latino gangs from central america and mexico have
5:17 pm
killed more people on our soil and they are terrorists, too. >> greg: the distinction is that there is one group that has a existential -- the gangs want to sell drugs and make money, but islamic radicals, they want to take everybody to their heaven. >> first, i thought you were talking about the pharmaceutical industry. but yeah. there is no question about it. i've been on this for a very long time. those with an apocalyptic vision, as we see with isis and the end of times battles, they are incredibly committed. they are a their great strength is their commitment to their cause, their belief. you cannot unconverted them. what you've got to do is kill them. we have to keep on killing them for a very long time. >> greg: the issue which you bring up of sudden converts, isis doesn't execute, they inspire.
5:18 pm
they are like a rock band who has plenty of tribute brands who ape their every move wherever they go. they can take credit of this where they went anywhere around. you can be vigilant without curtailing freedoms. i don't think it's an either or choice. again, we become a prisoner of two ideas. you aren't losing freedom. you are actually preserving freedom by heightening security, being smarter. >> sure. tighten it in smart ways. but as long as we've got a global left that sympathizes with the terrorists and worried about their rights, you are not going to make the progress. unfortunately, some civil rights do have three slightly impinged, such as impaired at airports. we just have to be sane and tough. >> greg: always informative when you are here. "the new york times" attacking the secretary of homeland security for "fearmongering." it's a big word, especially for
5:19 pm
me. we will tell you what it means when "the factor" comes right back.
5:20 pm
5:21 pm
>> greg: the unresolved problem segment tonight, and an editorial today and titled "fearmongering at homeland security," "the new york times" attack homeland security secretary john kelly's approach to the job, writing "the tone he says can only encourage abusive behavior among his officers further down the chain of mccann telecommand against immigrants and leads to the curtailing of civil liberties." kelly remains uncompetitive and spoke why importing border crossings are down. >> it's the fact about eight years after a different view of southwest border security and a
5:22 pm
different view about illegal immigration, the new view has obviously caught hold or has caught the attention of people to ourselves, primarily in the central american country where most of the illegal migration has been coming from in the last few years. and the people there are awaiting the same. it's been a great deterrent effect in terms of what we say are going to do and it already has a big thing in the last 100 days or so, and that's actually we are enforcing a much wider range of immigration than in the last eight years. >> greg: that's what you call an adult. joining us now for reaction, democratic standridge strategi- and eric beach, a republican strategist. the times is really concerned about tone. from the guy who runs homeland security. what do they want?
5:23 pm
to they want winnie the pooh? >> i don't know what they want. the number job of the president of the united states is to protect american citizens. "the new york times" has a problem with president trump's rhetoric regarding american exceptionalism and american first policies. they don't like american exceptionalism. they want to be that we allow all illegal immigrants to come in from all over the world, the reality is that model doesn't work. it hasn't worked in europe lately, and that's what you are going to see here in these elections. border security in europe is very poor, and it's really demonstrating a lack of leadership to some of these european nations. >> greg: scott, what is it about strong language that democrats have such a problem with. in this kind of job, you want a straight shooting humorless kisser butt >> we can do without the
5:24 pm
fearmongering because every american in this country knows about terrorism. secretary kelly was bragging or complaining about keeping us safe. we spent billions of dollars keeping americans safe, we are certainly aware of it. i don't think we've taken a day off from thinking that terrorism is not upon us. we watch tv all across the world and even in our own country, domestic terrorism. so the fearmongering is really unnecessary. but this is the trump administration's way of leading. they lead by fear. it's really necessary. no democrat wants the borders unsafe during the democrat wants illegal immigrants here in this country. but what we do want is the constitution recognize and honor. and when you fearmongering and one euros at language, you put that at risk. i think that's what "the new york times" was getting at. of >> greg: i can't remember when president obama used fearmongering. yes, climate change. every single day, we are about to die. >> 50 other countries signed
5:25 pm
onto that! it's called the paris accords. there is no fearmongering there. >> greg: i'm hoping that's getting unsigned, i pray. eric, how should he approach this job if -- i mean, should he soften his rhetoric! may be seen showtunes and baked brownies to bring in every monday? >> that's one way of doing it. the one way he's doing it now is he's decreased illegal immigration by 50%. i'm in california and i remember -- let's not forget, san bernardino and orlando. we live in a nation that is under attack by a lot of the outside extreme radical islamic terrorists. and so, his rhetoric during the campaign will she's now followed through as president is very important. they need to send a message to the rest of the world that we are not going to be taking advantage of, we are going to have a venting system like many other countries do. we will protect americans first. that's his job as president of the united states. >> we do that though already, don't we, greg? the attacks my colleague just
5:26 pm
mentioned, none of those attacks came from illegal immigrants, if you will, or muslims from countries that we are trying to ban right now. a very small fractions of the crime committed, one is two much, but a fraction come from those individuals who are here illegally. it's an illogical policy! >> how about san bernardino? >> dinning , , didn't come from a muslim country. they were radicalized while they were here. they are either green card or u.s. citizens. it's fearmongering! >> what's the downside on protecting our borders? what's the downside of having policies that have put americans first? whether it's economic policies, whether it's, you know, policies on our educational system, what is wrong with the president saying that we are going to treat americans, we have american exceptionalism. we put our interest about anybody else's in the world, and it's a privilege, not a right come to live in this country? >> something called the
5:27 pm
constitution! >> greg: the thing that bugs me about this -- scott, hold on about this. the editorial says that his tone will encourage abusive behavior. so they are essentially blaming mr. kelly for actions that have yet to occur. that's pretty bad. >> not exactly, though. here's the deal. i'm a former prosecutor from new york. tone and words matter. if the words and tone from the leadership says that at all costs, protect this border, i can tell you right now whether it is the fbi or i.c.e. or the police, they take those orders seriously and very often times you can't control over aggressive or overzealous police officers who are enforcing the law. that's dangerous because rights get violated when that usually occurs. that is important. he sets the tone as a leader of the organization. >> greg: i think everybody on the planet would rather have an angry tone with deeds getting done then a pleasant tone and nothing get done. that's a concern. >> if we violate their rights --
5:28 pm
the one we are not! >> you don't know that. if -- >> greg: you don't know it. >> we don't know if that happens. what we do know is that there have been killings inside of the united states, and there have been other crimes inside the united states from both illegal aliens as well as people who want to do harm to u us. >> it's not an epidemic though! >> greg: in its terrorism. it's not about academic. it's about intent. we got to move on. plenty more ahead as "the factor" moves along this evening. bruce springsteen is so mad at president trump he's decided to sing about it. oh, dear. we will have top-notch analysis. my pal brenda mcgurk will be here with some thoughts on his favorite pink mango beverage. we hope you stay tuned for those reports.
5:29 pm
5:30 pm
5:31 pm
>> live from america's news headquarters, i'm trace gallagher. many polls suggest the french election is too close to call. others give a slight edge to far right candidate marie le pen. the election begins on sunday with two rounds of voting. president trump giving his support to le pen, tweeting after thursday's terror attack, the people of paris will not take more of the spirit and will have a big affect. they say the suspect in that attack had a long criminal record, the note praising the islamic state found a note after he was shot and killed by police. they are trying to figure out if he was a lone wolf or had help. on monday, former president obama officially returns to the public eye. headlining an event at the university of chicago meant to inspire the next generation of leaders. the president has been on a series of vacations. now to "the factor" ." >> greg: in the personal story
5:32 pm
segments and, bruce springsteen who is friends called him the boss, never heard that, has a new song about donald trump or the american people call "mr. president." ♪ ♪ let's turn this thing around around ♪ ♪ ♪ >> greg: c, he rhymes "hate" with "date." you broke your brain on that one. he is a poor man's qe lewis. mr. springsteen upset with some of president trump's policies. joining us for a reaction in houston, the contributor for "the hill," and mr. tom shillue, comedian and author of the great your forthcoming book, "mean dads for a better america.
5:33 pm
tom, i want to congratulate you. you are always on the last show at fox news. [laughter] you are like a curse. you are the last guest. okay. the thing that gets me about springsteen is he supposed to be some kind of edgy person. but his songs almost instantly agree with the assumptions of his own industry. >> you didn't appreciate the song, greg? it's made up from posttest posters. they copied all the different slogans. did you know that love trumps hate? >> greg: [laughs] i know. and that rhymes with "make america great." >> is amazing, isn't it? he should go back to singing his little ditty about jack and diane. what's great, he talks about how much he hates trump, do you know what he really hates quick mike his own audience. when you see the trump rallies, it looks like a springsteen sho show. >> greg: does bruce realize that the trump voter --
5:34 pm
donald trump has a better connection with bruce's audience or intended audience than bruce does. >> yeah, absolutely. these celebrities bashing trump are so cowardly and predictable. and bruce springsteen basically morphed into an over over the l pathetic snowflake like rosie o'donnell. do you know what, greg? being a liberal in hollywood is so easy, all of these hollywood wingback's need to do is say they love every body and they accept all people in the media who love them for it. meanwhile, liberal policies are ruining the country and the real "rebels" are the conservatives. people like kid rock -- he couldn't care less of a couple of liberals are offended that he wants to secure a border and a strong economy. like he said, there are a lot of folks that love donald trump and they will reward those celebrities who are more courageous than the cowboys like
5:35 pm
bruce springsteen. >> greg: it's a good point. tom, there is no conservative rock folksinger like somebody who comes out and actually protest songs about things that bother him, like a conservative or a libertarian. it's a wide-open field for one person to step in and, and, and get a huge audience. >> kid rock, he put his money where his mouth is. he did write a song for hillary, god only knows why. >> he did. where is the crew on that, chris? >> i think america is laughing at that. >> america is sad about that, tom. it's true, springsteen songs are "huffington post" columns with records. >> his audience is in the areas where trump won over, it's all springsteen voters per that's what gets him. it's the people in the front row. those are the ones who went out and voted for trump. >> greg: i want to move on. this is our second story tonight the quarterback calling cap her
5:36 pm
colin kaepernick. he so good at football that no team assigning him. he's been named one of the most 100 influential people in the world kapernick made headlines refusing, to stand to protest police shootings. i want to go to you. is this another example of somebody who perceives that they are making an edgy pronouncement? they are taking a risk when they are echoing the assumptions of the media around them. >> absolutely. the most surprising part of this story is that "time" magazine is still being published. i had no idea they were still around! do you guys know anyone who reads time? it's pretty adorable that they are still publishing that. that having been said, it's pathetic that "time" would prop up this -- i don't know football
5:37 pm
history, i shouldn't be surprised. "time" named adolf hitler person of the year one. but it's pretty irrelevant, because the only people who read "timecode" are the people who read -- >> greg: it reminds me of the person who made a lot of money, didn't really go pay too much attention to the world around him and all of a sudden thought that he had to be relevant. he didn't want to be seen as of the jocks, and he found this new celebrity. he got new friends, got a new, cool status. he's on the cover of a magazine. but at the expense of his team and his forte, so he made a trade. it was really about him. >> the thing is like kiersten said, it's so easy. all he did was kneel down, and now he's a national phenomenon. he doesn't really influence anybody except for people who write articles like this. see, they look at him and say, well, of course is influential if you look at these 15 articles i wrote about him last year. >> it bums me out.
5:38 pm
as a 49er fan, pretty much a lifelong one. my parents were 49ers fans, like, i had a hard time watching the team because it, i go, it's all about politics. politics isn't supposed to be there. it's just supposed to be guys beating each other up. >> unfortunately, the media covers sports. the media is very liberal, so they are going to keep dragging it down. >> he chose the right issue. and now he's a folk hero. all right, thank you so much. overhead, attorney general jeff sessions now says it's a wikileaks founder julian assange. we will analyze the situation when we return.
5:39 pm
5:40 pm
>> greg: thanks for staying with us. i am greg garfield. julian assange has made a career of publishing -- assange has been holed up for years at the ecuadorian embassy in london, of any extradition.
5:41 pm
where he is accused of rape, jeff sessions was asked about assange. >> -- we are going to step up our effort and we are stepping up our efforts on all of this. with this is a matter that has gone beyond anything i'm aware of. we have professionals in the security business of the united states for many years that are shocked by the number of leaks and some of them are quite serious. so, yes. it is a priority. we will seek to put people in jail. >> greg: joining us now from richmond, ken cuccinelli, the former attorney general of virginia, and whitney bone. i will go to you first. i want to get this guy. i happen to think he's evil, bad, and wrong. i have to ask you, how do you get this guy? i don't know. >> you know, it's going to be
5:42 pm
very difficult. he's not going to be extradited this is a political expense of f espionage. he's also in ecuadorian embassy. he's untouchable in less we are going to go in there, we will storm, we will tear down the london bridge and schoolmarm stormed into the ecuadorian embassy and subject them to prosecution for any crimes. >> greg: can, how do they do this? >> well, we do have pretty often used extradition exchange with the british, but the real question is the ecuadorian's. you just heard my assange has been holed up in their avoiding rape charges from sweeden. i don't actually know whether we have one with ecuador. i know we exchanged drug
5:43 pm
offenders, cartel members for instance, but i don't know whether they would go beyond that. but first, the justice department has to make their case that assange was somehow involved in leaking the classified information, not merely being the repository for someone who laid their hands on it all by themselves and then handed it to him to publish on his website. there is a big difference between those two potential fact patterns. >> greg: it's a distinction between aiding and abetting and simply delivering material. >> absolutely. >> greg: i happen to think delivering material is pretty bad, too. whitney, if you go after him, do you also go after the press who printed it? >> that is a big group to take on, they are well shrouded with first amendment protection. like he said, the first amendment implications here are going to make it impossible to prosecute assange simply for publishing this information on
5:44 pm
wikileaks. he's going to have to go beyond that to either prove that he knowingly published it knowing that it would cause detriment to national security and to your safety or that he would somehow collude in stealing the information. they are not going to be able to prosecute him or wikileaks were just publishing information. the west >> greg, if i can add one comment. we talk about leaks and this and that. there is a distinction here. there is all other information and there is classified information. leaking nonclassified information very rarely has the potential for criminal implications. that is exactly the opposite when it comes to classified information. national security information. >> greg: got it. all right. do you think they have more evidence, can? >> it sounds like they are developing more, but until they
5:45 pm
are willing to make it public, we are all speculating. >> greg: right. >> again, i don't think it's unreasonable to hypothesize about what would be necessary to prosecute someone like assange for this, and that is some involvement in either the planning or execution of the stealing and the initial release by someone who had the clearance to get it in the first place of classify information. >> greg: okay, thank you for pop up next, a starbucks barista flips out on a unicorn. you heard that right, unicorn. we will explain that in a momen moment.
5:46 pm
5:47 pm
>> greg: in the "what the heck just happened segment," it is
5:48 pm
