tv   The Factor  FOX News  April 21, 2017 8:00pm-9:01pm PDT

8:00 pm
new 8:00 p.m. eastern show will begin on monday and will be forget the five s9 and don't forget our regular time. set your dvrs so you never miss a episode of "hannity" from jerusalem, have a great night and a great weekend. ♪ >> i'm greg got filled, thanks for watching this final addition of the factor, the strange and historic day for all of us on the show, we'll talk more about thatora later in the program, first, to our top stor, donald trump's first 100 days is upon us and of course the president greets it with a tweet. writing no matter how much i accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days and it has been a lot including sc which i assume means supreme court, media will kill. maybe he's right. >> the irony is nobody is focused on their first 100 days.
8:01 pm
since fdr more than donald trump, he's the one that's setting this ridiculous standard. >> if you are the trump administration, your ending your first 100 days next weekend, then may 2nd is this eliot's testimony is not the 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 a spin. does the world change on day 101? wasn't much different on day 99? nope and no. trying to gauge the trump presidency this early isn't as easy as itn' seems. it's like cooking a 20-pound turkey, could take five or six hours, checking trump's progress right now is like opening the oven one just 20 minutes have passed commits way too soon. especially when you're president makes everything a negotiation that unfolds over time. which is a departure over the false notion of urgency that president obama would employ daily, every issue from obamacare to climate change was
8:02 pm
a race against the apocalypse, time was running out, act now or die. president trump is playing a longer game, finding the best deal over time which may mean holding a position early on that changes later. that's's why at the 100 days assessment is like slicing into that bird when it's still thawing. to continue this wonderful cooking analogy, trump has five or six pots going on the burners, some cook slow, some boil quickly, some of the issues need refinement, less salt, more oregano, we saw that with a travel ban, we had to toss out the first batch. multiple ongoing processes that created this sense of uncertainty which is natural. trump has freed us from the prison of two ideas come at you either had to be for something or against it. it'sng either war or peace, free trade or protectionism amnesty or the wall. it turns out there are endless options between one position and its opposite whether it's syria, trade, or china.
8:03 pm
china, one day he's mean, the next he's nice.e' he calls canada at a dear friend and wraps, them on the knuckle. he makes one of ben carson then puts him hisis cabinet. the result of this unconventional style is an uncertainty that keeps our adversaries guessing. it also makes the rest of us kind of nervous too which is okay, that's normal. we are all this together, relax it's just the first 100 days, we've got another 1362 go, at least. joining us now with reaction just qatar loft a democratic pollster and strategist. admit it, it's been an. amazing 100s, days, hesitant. >> best 100 days of my life. your monologue was quite persuasive, i'm not a full convertrt but i do believe thiss our first president who has it been a politician, he's got a lot to learn, he has people in office and his cabinet, a lot of
8:04 pm
room to grow quickly. everyone wants the president to succeed for those 1360 days, not the more option that you gave there's a lot that we can do to work together, there are some outstanding issues that are particular failures like happened with the health care bill and paul ryan did not help him obviously. the travel ban as you mentioned, when you say he's not someone who picks yes or no, on the campaign trail he really did. he said he was definitively for certain things but now he's waffling on with draining the swamp and everyone in there is from goldman sachs, i think that's great, that's reassuring for me. i wonder about his voters, that base who were promised certain things and i'm not sure they're going to get them. >> greg: i think there's certain things he has to stick to another things he can give u up. when you'reig a campaign or youe different from when you are actually covering.
8:05 pm
health care in the travel ban, thosee are things that are ongoing. it takes a t longer time for tht to evolve, he is negotiating starts at one place. >> he did say, the hundred days is created by the candidates himself. he did as well, he did make promises about those things and he backed a health care plan that i'm not fully convinced he thought was a good idea, paul ryan said i've got the numbers, he went with it. who we can trust in what he could put his nameme on. >> greg: weigh in on this, does an assessment at 100 days, isn't it 1 kind of hard to do wh president trump and it doesn't matter? >> no, i think you're right, it's ank artificial measuring stick. as usual, we can expect the media to take that stick and beat trump over the head with i it. does anyone remember now bill clinton trying to nominate anon attorney general? nobody remembers that because
8:06 pm
janet reno was attorney general for like 20y years. obviously, this is one of those things where the media is just in a complete festival of hate and if you go back eight years, what you're going to find is the kind of coverage they were giving obama's they got a puppy. >> the stimulus is it different than a puppy, you do know that, the bush tax cuts. >> was the stimulus a success? >> arguably yes, obama were really playing this down. >> there were 12 stories of the puppy. >> i read all of them. >> i'm saying he was received as a savior, as a savior and chief and we have eight years of them delighting over how he would sing and who had he and the white house to sink her mother was all kinds of that.
8:07 pm
that's what's utterly missing now. >> greg: what's interesting is if donald trump doesn't play into these obvious opportunities. he doesn't even have a dog. he could have gotten all those dog stories he said you know what? i'm so good at this job, screw the dog, i'm just going to stick to policy, i'm going to go after the stuff and let them worry about the fact, they did stories about how he didn't have a dog. >> it's a good story, it's really weird, who doesn't want a dog? >> the media isn't giving him a break even though you look over the hundred days, has anything bad truly happened that you can point? >> that's out of the ordinary course mark things are going to happen every day. donald trump was missing of what went on under the obama presidency. it's an enormous country with 320 million people in it, there's going to be tragedy unfortunately every single day.
8:08 pm
the president has only so much power to control that. does the media are not like donald trump? i would say on the whole know. but he also created this antagonistic relationship with them and you reap what you sow at a certain point. >> it didn't start with trump, the media was -- if you look at the first day of the trump campaign it was all mockery, who thinks this guy is ever going to win? >> do you think that's because of the staged coming down the escalator with all the paid people there to greet him and melania as he went through his gold halls? >> thank god president obama never staged everything,re dear member the press conferences for obamacare? everyone was wearing a white jacket, it was nuts. we've got to move on. thank you very much, when we come right back, breaking news of french presidential candidate is pessimistic about winning a war onst terror, will tell you w francis reacted to a latest terrorist attack in when we return, don't touch that dial
8:09 pm
8:10 pm
8:11 pm
>> greg: in the impact segment tonight, a gunman killed a police officer and wounded three othersrs in one of paris' most famous streets forcingre an eary end to campaigning, for the presidential election which was scheduled for sunday, president trump weighed in on the matter this morning tweeting another terrorist attack in paris,st the people of france wl not take much more of this. we'llig have a big effect on the presidential election. where the presidential election still held on sunday one of the centrist candidates seemed resigned too it saying this imponderablele threat will be a fact of daily life in the coming years, joining is now james rosen, i've got to ask you, has there been any update in this crime, is there a second suspect out there or are they assuming it's just one guy? >>? for the moment it seems like all the efforts are focused on learning more about the one guy who wasas shot while trying to
8:12 pm
escape after h he killed the police officer and shot three other people. out tumbled from his body we learn from the french authorities today after he was shot, a note in which he has words of praise daesh for or ices as we a call it here, there is every indication it was a terrorist attack. >> greg: is it something that ices claims after the fact, they had not executed this but they had inspired us? >> right, that serves their propaganda purposes. we've seen at a number of cases where isis has claimed credit or some affinity with one of these individuals was involved with this kind of atrocity, whether o or not isis had anything to do with that individual, it's an interesting comment that you mentioned, a centrist candidate in the french presidential election when he indicated this is the new normal, were going to have to acclimate ourselves to
8:13 pm
these kind of offense for the foreseeable future. that's not generally speaking a winning posture for candidates, but it does remind me of an incredibly brilliant cartoon that ran in the new yorker the right after 9/11. it showed the classic evolutionary sequence where there iseq primordial ooze and there's a fish that rises from it and then it starts to walk on two legs and then it starts to walk upright, the last panel in this sequence in the new yorker cartoon showed a man in a suit and tie carrying a briefcase and walking through a magnetometer as if to say, this kind of thing post 9/11 is with us here to stay in some respect. >> greg: t thank you for expanding entire cartoon to our audiencenk. i think he was just being honest about the nature of the world. it might hurt him, thank you. now for more analysis, fox news contributor lieutenant colonel ralph peters whoan joins us from
8:14 pm
washington. what is your take on the terror attack t in paris and will it he an effect onll the election and also should have an effect? >> first of all with the statement that this is the new normal, we should hammer politicians when they tell us shouldn't hammer them when they tell the truth. the politicians who say this is here and it's not going away fast are telling the truth. the civilization of islam in the middle east has collapsed in barbarity, it spread to europe. it touches us here and it's not going to be solved for decades if at all. will it affect the french election? it may affect the first round and may garner some votes for marine le pen who was an absolute far right nutcase any american conservative who thinks marine le pen who takes loans from vladimir putin, praises
8:15 pm
russia, wants out of the e.u. and out of nato is america's friendhe isn't doing his or her homework. the bottom line is this. wewe have to fight terrorism evy single day, i want every terrorist dead. the reality is unless they want to turn our societies into police states, prevent people from driving cars, prevent people from owning weapons, you're going to have these small-scale attacks because they're so easy to states, they turn our freedoms against us. unfortunately there is going to be a price we have to pay. >> greg: these small-scale attacks are becoming more prevalent perhaps because were becoming better at stopping the larger scale ones. it's a a weird thing to think tt maybe this is an improvement even though it's horrible. my worry is it only takes one and as you see a marriage of technology to terror it's not going to b be a car, it's good o be a drone that you can send away for, anthrax, it could be smallpox if the guy is a doctor.
8:16 pm
there is good to be an evolution towards a more devastating style of attack in the coming years that will make this stuff look kind of small. >> that's important because our enemies our often ingenious. we've seen isis and before them al qaeda do some brilliant things. the complex aerial ballet of 9/11 using our common tools against us was brilliant. we have to be prepared, at the same time, we can't live in fea fear. we have to recognize the fact that as you said, we've got a very good at taking down the big plots. now the problem by the jailbird conference, the sudden converts like this guy in paris seems to be. i do remind people that i have no sympathy with terror, i want those suckers dead mud dead, dead, at the same time as far as the threat from islamist terrorism goes, since 9/11, killed a vastly more people on
8:17 pm
our soil and if they too. >> the distinction is there is one group that has an existential desire to stay the planet. islamic radicals they want to take everybody to their heaven. >> first i thought you were talking about a pharmaceutical industry. 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 in the end of times battles that are going to end now in their resorts, their incredibly committed, their great strength is the commitment to their cause, their belief. which is why and they have no reverse gear, what you've got to do is kill them and were going to have to keep on killing them for a very long time. >> greg: the issue which you bring up of southern converts, isis doesn't execute it now inspires.
8:18 pm
essentially like a rock band who has hundreds of tribute bands who ate theirf every move great they can take credit for this where they weren't anywhere around. i do think that you can't be vigilant without curtailing freedoms, i don't think it's an either or choice. we've become a prisoner of two ideas. you're noto losing freedom, you're actually preserving freedom by heightening security. >> in tight and smart ways, as long as we've got a global left in america and left that symbolizes with the terrorists and worries about their rights, you're just not good to make the progress. unfortunately some civil rights to have to be slightly impinged such at at airports to keep us safe but we all need to be sane and tough. >> greg: always a informative when you're here, thank you so much. "the new york times" is attacking the secretary of homelandnd security for "fearmongering," w it's a big word, especially for me, will
8:19 pm
tell you what it means when "the factor" comes right back.
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
>> greg: the unresolved problem segment tonight, and an editorial today and titled "fearmongering at homeland security," "the new york times" to the job, writing "the tone he says can only encourage abusive behavior among his officers further down the chain of j command against immigrants and leads to the curtailing of civil liberties." kelly remains uncompetitive and spoke why border crossings are down. >> it's the fact about eight years after a different view of southwest border security and a different view aboutt illegal immigration, the new view has
8:22 pm
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 alreadyn 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 y >> greg: that's what you call an adult. joining us now for reaction, democratic strategist -- scott bolden. eric beach, a republican strategist. "the times" is really concerned about. tone. from the guy who runs homeland security. what do they want? do they want winnie the pooh? >> i don't know what they want. the number job of the president
8:23 pm
of the united states is to protect american citizens. "the new york times" has a problem with president trump's rhetoric regarding american c exceptionalism and american first policies. they don't like american exceptionalism.ca they want to be thatn 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 europey 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 ae straight shooting humorless butt kisser -- i mean, butt kicker -- [laughter] >> we can do without the fearmongering because every
8:24 pm
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 honored. and when you fearmonger and you use that language, you put that at risk. i think that's what "the new york times" was getting at. >> greg: i can't remember when >> 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 onto that! it's called the paris accords. there is no fearmongering there. >> greg: i'm hoping that's getting unsigned, i pray.
8:25 pm
eric, how should he approach this job if -- i mean, should he soften his rhetoric? maybe sing showtunes and baked brownies to bring in every monday?ed >> that's one way of doing it.es 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 which he's now followed through as president is very important. they need to send a message toto the rest of the world that we are not going to be taking advantage of, we are going to have a vetting system like manyd 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 justt mentioned, none of those attacks came from illegal immigrants, if
8:26 pm
you will, ornt 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 legally. it's an illogical policy! >> how about san bernardino? >> 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 to live in this country? e >> something called the constitution!is >> greg: the thing that bugs me about this -- scott, hold on about this.
8:27 pm
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 -- >> greg: we are not! >> you don't know that.
8:28 pm
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 us. >> it's not an epidemic though! >> greg: it's terrorism. it's not about epidemic. 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 brendon mcguirk will be here with some thoughts on his favorite pink mango beverage. we hope you stay tuned for those reports.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
8:31 pm
>> good evening. live from america's news headquarters, i'm jackie and bonnie is in new york investigators trying to determine if the gunman who was killed after shooting and killing a police officer had any help. a note praising the islamic state was found near his body. he was question in february, but released for lack of evidence. police say he has a long criminal record. the white house dismissing the u.s. surgeon general, he was the 19th surgeon general of the u.s. he had been an offense since 2014. rear admiral sylvia trans adams takes over. the minneapolis skyline lighting up in purple tonight. there it is by the city taking tribute to the singer prince who died one year ago today print several contests, concerts and memorials planned in his hometown in his honor. i'm jackie ibanez. now back to "the factor." >> greg: in the personal story segments and, bruce springsteen
8:32 pm
who is friends called him thece boss, never heard that, has a new song about donald trump or the american people call "mr. president." ♪ >> greg: see, he rhymes "hate" with "great." you broke your brain on that one. he is a poor man's huey 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 new forthcoming book, "mean dads for a better america." tom, i want to congratulate you. you are always on the last show
8:33 pm
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 theos song, greg? it's made up from posters. they copied all the different slogans. did you know that love trumps f hate? >> greg: [laughs] i know. and that rhymes with "make america great." >> 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? his own audience. when you see the trump rallies, it looks like a springsteen show. >> greg: does bruce realizee that the trump voter -- donald trump has a better connection with bruce's audience
8:34 pm
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 the hilll pathetic snowflake like rosie o'donnell. do you know what, greg? being a liberal in hollywood is so easy, all of these hollywood moonbats 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 bruce springsteen.br >> greg: it's a good point. tom, there is no conservative
8:35 pm
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 a 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. h >> 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. 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 colin kaepernick.
8:36 pm
one of my favorite teams. he's so good at football that no current nfl team has assigned him. butt yet, he has been named one of the most 100 influential people inf the world. speetwentysix, of course, made headlines last year 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. and then he gained strength and respect for it? >> 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 whoi 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 history, i shouldn't bepa surprised. "time" named adolf hitler person
8:37 pm
of the year one.al but it's pretty irrelevant, because the only people who read "time" are the people who readea "time" are liberals in the upper east side and the parents of the writer's. >> greg: it reminds me of the person who made a lot of money, didn't really go pay too g much attention to the world aroundd 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 this sport, so he made a trade. it was really about him. >> the thing is like kiersten w said, it's so easy. all he did was kneel down, and t now he's a national phenomenon.l 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 look at these 15 articles i wrote about him last year. >> it bums me out. as a 49er fan, pretty much a lifelong one.
8:38 pm
my parents were 49ers fans, like, i had a hard time watchint 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. up ahead, attorney general jeff sessions now says it's a priority to arrest wikileaks founder julian assange. he better find a place to hide. we will analyze the situation when we return.
8:39 pm
8:40 pm
>> greg: thanks for staying with us. i am greg gutfeld. julian assange has made a career of publishing -- assange has been holed up for years at the ecuadorian embassy in london, of any extradition. where he is accused of rape,
8:41 pm
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 yearsrs 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 boan. 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
8:42 pm
very difficult. he's not going to be extradited. this is a political expense of 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 stormed into the ecuadorian embassy and subject them to prosecution for any crimes. >> greg: can, how do they do t this? >> well, we do have pretty often used extradition exchange with the british, but the real question is the ecuadorians. 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 offenders, cartel members for instance, but i don't know
8:43 pm
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.ee >> 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 forgo publishing this information onon wikileaks. he's going to have to go beyond that to either prove that he
8:44 pm
knowingly published it knowing that it would cause detriment to national security and to your safety or that he wouldal somehw collude in stealing the information. they are not going to be able to prosecute him or wikileaks for just publishing information. >> 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 criminalat 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, ken? >> it sounds like they are developing more, but until they
8:45 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 classified information. >> greg: okay, thank you for that. up next, a starbucks barista flips out on a unicorn. you heard that right, unicorn. we will explain that in a moment.
8:46 pm
8:47 pm
>> greg: in the "what the heck just happened segment," it is earth day, will get to that.
8:48 pm
