>> if you have your own hit or miss tweet it to us, that is it for >> a fox news alert. the fbi releasing hundreds of pages of documents on the wiretapping of court a page during the 2016 election. the heavily redacted document accused former trump campaign advisor of quote - collaborating and conspiring with the russian government. hello and welcome to a brand-new hour inside "americas news headquarters". i am arthel neville. >> i am mike emanuel form eric shawn. report of the first time the government has publicly released requests to spy on american citizens under the foreign intelligence surveillance act. documents also show unverified steele dossier with a major component of the surveillance warrant. democrats say they say it was

justified in his actions. president trump and republican allies claiming the bureau overreached. >> there is a serious problem with the fbi presenting to the fisa court, an application for search warrant against united states citizens and followed by three renewals when they were basing it on a very flawed document for the so-called, steele dossier, that has never been verified. >> gillian turner has the latest from washington. >> good afternoon, mike. the fbi has released that now infamous fisa warrant that gave the intelligence community authority on october 2016 to monitor quarter page.here is from the fbi reading apart quote - this fbi believes that carter paid has been collaborating and collaborating with the russian government. there is probable cause of subjectivity involved or about

to involve violations of the criminal statutes of the united states. this has been released and a request and it set off a firestorm in washington. from the white house to the halls of capitol hill. paige himself is saying his activities were just business as usual. >> no, i've never been an agent of the foreign policy or power in any stretch of the imagination. i may have back in the g 21 in st. petersburg, i might have participated in a few meetings that a lot of people? people from the obama administration were sitting on in geneva, paris, etc. >> heavily redacted 412 pages admit the steele dossier, the most contentious and controversial element was a component of the 2016 fisa warrant. the chairman telling sunday morning futures, this release should put conspiracy theories to rest. >> most of the information that is redacted in the report

should easily be seen as the american people. they can judge for themselves but i will tell you, it does not support the issue to have a warrant against mr. page. >> senator rubio offered were just when he said while he does not believe the new information proves anything about collision also does not prove the intelligence community was spying on the trump campaign. mike? >> gillian turner, leading us off live from washington. many thanks. >> the president sharing his thoughts on this. from his weekend getaway in new jersey pay tweeting the newly released documents show the mueller investigation is a witchhunt. while also continuing to defend his quote - great meeting with the russian president, vladimir putin. laura ingle is following all this from berkeley heights, new jersey. hi laura. >> hi arthel. president trump tweeting on a variety of topics today.most recently this afternoon a blasting department of justice as he maintains the pfizer

released -- fisa documents prove that they were spot on. says as usual they are ridiculously, heavily redacted. but confirm with little doubt the department of justice and fbi misled the court. witchhunt rigged a scam! another tweet reads, looking more and more like the trump campaign for president was illegally being spied on. surveillance for the political gain of crooked hillary clinton and the d&c. ask her how that worked out. she did better with crazy bernie. republicans must get tough now. an illegal scam. all of this coming on top of the weeklong criticism from both sides of the aisle on how president trump handled the summit with the russian president, vladimir putin on monday. one of the main issues, how president trump appeared to accept president putin 's

denial. the top white house intelligence committee representatives and democrat adam schiff had differing views today if president trump has been compromised by russia. this on abc this week. >> today is a cheap shot to say the president has been compromised by the russians. i think the russians elected a former kgb agent and spends all of his time and resources squandering it on petty anti-spy tactics to try to get into loser kind of lobbyist pockets and so forth. this country elected president that was a former businessman. as a result, our economy is doing well and we tried to have meetings with foreign leaders. >> i certainly think he's acting like someone compromised. a very well be that he is compromise or he believes he is compromised. >> as you mentioned, mr. trump sees at tiffany.

he believes that he had a quote - great meeting with vladimir putin. >> laura ingle, we will take it back here. thank you. mike? >> more information on the pfizer documents, let's bring in-- the fisa documents. how hard is it to get this freedom act disclosure? >> it is incredibly unusual. probably the first time it has happened i'm not aware of other instances where fisa documents were subject to this. that's the good news. the bad news it is so heavily redacted there will be questions. this is about a 412 page document. even i read it in the course of about one hour which tells you is heavily redacted. [laughter] >> reading beyond the black splotches people to be learned about the steele dossier in this document? >> the steele dossier is in there. there's mention of a confidential source that refers to mr. steel.

there are two important things from the fbi perspective. they basically say this is a reliable informant. a track record of being reliable. they stick with that. and secondly, there is at least some question that they acknowledge early in the affidavit about the possibility of this politically motivated retention. in fact the whole purpose was to get dirt on the trump campaign. they do not laid out in vivid technical or for all to see. but there is disclosure. it would be a huge disaster if they tried to mislead the court. >> what about carter page some say he is more inspector gadget than james bond, do you agree? >> i don't know about that. this is the document that only requires probable cause.not submit anything remotely approaching beyond a reasonable doubt. there is information in the affidavit i think it probably

satisfy a judge that is allowable for the fbi to go up in a wiretap. the problem is, most information we really care about for the analysis is still redacted. and so, we left with the idea that there is mention of the dossier. i think a little bit of a reliance on media reports as opposed to first-hand information. but there is really not any conclusive information we can reach as to what fueled the renewal of these applications. because it looks like there is probably ongoing new information that went into affidavits two, three and four that we just cannot see. >> should americans be alarmed when there is opposition research that is presented to a court and used to spy on an american? >> i think it is highly suspect area. whenever there will be political motivation, the fbi has to be very tough on their internal procedures. they have to pursue the right procedures to make sure if they will go down that road they are not being used for political purposes. i used to see this firsthand and they were pretty cognizant of the issue.

but it certainly is fair to ask questions about it. there was to be questions after today's disclosure. >> what you see is remaining issues following this application release? >> i think there was to be questions in terms of exactly when the fbi knew that steele could be sitting on information. they acknowledge he broke the rules. i think there's a continued question and concern about politics affecting fbi decision-making. that goes back to james comey and andrew mccabe and peter strzok. even steele -- i would like to see the fbi get away from that. and have leadership that does not operate that way. >> in your view, was the fbi right to act on this information? >> i would love to have a strong opinion but there are too many reductions.

there are some new black pages, it is hard to know what they had. for instance, if they rely on a media report it says the ukraine was being denied weaponry because of these types of meetings.i would like to know, is it inaccurate media report? no it's a shock that sometimes the media might be inaccurate but that is the kind of stuff we need a bottom line on to have a legitimate or fully informed opinion about whether or not the fbi was dabbling in politics wrongly. >> as former doj prosecutor, you look at pages with reductions. are you convinced all of the reductions are legitimate or might they be covering for embarrassing information? >> i hope they are not. look, it is absolutely unusual to release this document at all. i think it is a good sign they're willing to disclose things. but there are certainly other aspects of it where you wonder why is the signing agents name blocked out but the judge's are still on there? they might be a little stingy. i know as an institution they

tend to be protective or stingy but again, the starting point is a highly unusual disclosure. at least help answer some of the questions that have been out there about this how it got started. >> james trusty, thank you for your time and analysis. >> thank you, mike. >> arthel? >> a fox news alert. please in los angeles identifying the man they think was in a trader joe's during a deadly three hour standoff yesterday. police say the suspect fatally shot a store manager before surrendering. jeff paul is live in the silver lake neighborhood with more. >> we are learning the name of the suspect, jean atkins. a 28-year-old man who right now faces a challenge of murder. he is being held in a $2 million bail after vascular say he not only led police on a chase but he held several shoppers at this trader joe's hostage. and ended up exchanging gunfire with police that left one person dead. family identified the victim as a 27 year old, a store manager

here at trader joe's. outside the grocery store today they brought flowers. also allowed people to bring their own bouquets and they left out papers and pens for folks writing messages of support to the victims families and the rest of the staff. >> police tell us it all started as a family dispute. they say the suspect first shot his grandmother and then another woman who he took with him as he drove off. there was a chase with police where it ended with a suspect crashing near trader joe's. investigators assess her shots between the suspect and the lease were fired. during a hostage situation. we just spoke with a security guard who normally works at the store but was off yesterday. take a listen. >>.

>> trader joe's released a statement a short while ago. it reads in part, yesterday marks the saddest day in trader joe's history as we mourn the loss of one of our own. our thoughts are with family and crewmembers and customers who experienced this terrifying and unimaginable ordeal. they thanked the community for support saying he lost his baby sister and well. we also learned from the grandmother that was shot several times, underwent several surgeries and is in critical condition. arthel? >> jeff paul, thank you. >> israel helps hundreds to escape from syria overnight. in an unprecedented operation. we live in the region. plus, a retired major air force major general weighs in on russia and u.s. strategy after the helsinki summit. the president inviting vladimir putin to the white house. >> the president i think has an

israeli military evacuating hundreds of syrian rescue workers known as white helmets in the first of its kind mission at the request of the u.s. and its european allies. conor powell is live from the jerusalem bureau with more. >> hi, mike. the effort was very much an international one. it was correlated by the united nations and ultimately carried out by the israeli military. we understand that there were about 800 or so of these white helmet rescue workers and their families that were stranded along the syrian israeli border for about the last month or so. due to the security situation though, only about 400 or so were able to make it out last night. they were escorted by israeli troops and un troops in israel on the buses and taken over by bus into neighboring jordan. according to the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, us, canada, germany and united nations asked israel to help in this rescue effort.

the white helmets organization which has been funded by the west is very much part of the anti-assad coalition in syria. they have been credited with saving tens of thousands of lives. the assad government however, in russia, views them as agents of a foreign power. also as terrorists. they routinely target them in both airstrikes and try to push them out of syrian rebel holes, controlled areas. according to western officials, now that these white helmets and families have made it to jordan, they will be there for several weeks and will be resettled in places like germany, united kingdom and also canada as well. >> conor powell, from the jerusalem newsroom, thanks. >> president trump going on twitter today touting his quote - great meeting with the russian president, vladimir putin. after the two hour closed door, one on one last week in helsinki. president trump now inviting president putin for another

meeting. this time at the white house in the fall. foreign policy experts do not think this is a good idea. even some americans have their doubts. a new poll showing 50 percent of americans disapprove of how the president handled the summit. retired air force major general, olson journeyman appeared general, good to have you here. >> thank you, good to be here. >> in the wake of that summit, what is your assessment of this state of president trump and the foreign policy? and what is the global impact? >> certainly, we can see that this week has been dominated by the domestic politics, political fallout of this. absent any political content that could otherwise fill a vacuum, i think that there had been changes in u.s. strategy when it comes to russia.the administration published the national security strategy back in december followed by the national defense strategy. and in that, we clearly

articulate that russia has been, with nato their strategic competitor. we watch them threaten from sweden to turkey, nations with nuclear weapons, they've insinuated themselves in the middle east to be a pivotal player all the way through the egypt. we know what they've done in crimea and ukraine and in georgia. i cannot see anything that has really changed or is going to impact right not will change u.s. strategy when it comes to russia. >> considering national security concerns, what is the best way to handle russia going forward? >> well, nato, if the nato countries continue to evolve the alliance with the investments of the president has talked about, the alliance will get stronger. it has been a pivot point for russia over these last 10 years

or more. so, vladimir putin has been trying to drive a wedge between the nations of nato. if nettle were to go away, no one would be more satisfied than vladimir putin. nato is vital to our strategy. a confident and strong nato is vital to the strategy paper we watched vladimir putin, four months ago, promote his modernization of his nuclear weapons. exposing some new capabilities that are very interesting, if they come to pass. and very destabilizing if they come to pass. he has been very aggressive, threatening the nations and exposing his nuclear might and so, i've not seen anything changed his behavior when it comes to nato and his position with the west. >> is round two with president putin a good idea? if you think it is, how can president trump get better results the second time around? >> nuclear nations talking to each other is better than nuclear nations not talking to

each other. the protocol of whether or not the two leaders get together or whether or not those lines of communications involve others at different levels, the flow of communication back and forth is vital. and of the best interest of both nations. the concerns a lot of folks have expressed is, whether or not the aggressive actions that vladimir putin has taken, annexing crimea, and continued work in ukraine and how he stirred the pot in syria and the middle east. those behaviors do not want to be rewarded in any particular way. rule of law needs to continue to be held up. he needs to be exposed and held accountable. >> is a reward, a visit to the white house to be in the oval office with president trump? understand your point of course, dialogue needs to continue between the two presidents. but to have it there in the white house, does that give vladimir putin even more bragging rights? >> well, i think what we need

to have, if that is the way the president chooses to go, it is one thing to expose the trappings of the two leaders meeting and the consequences and optics it would exposed to everybody. but what would be more important and more forceful is the content that comes out of this. and so, i think if you cannot just look at the optics. as important as they are, but really what really comes out of it and there needs to be an accountability component to that kind of meeting and a way forward for what we think this relationship needs to be and behaviors we expect russia to begin to expose to build confidence that this relationship has a near term productive path. >> do you feel that president trump has to publicly admonish president putin for his bad behavior thus far and on all accounts including his meddling into the 2016 presidential election. two very clear about that resident trump and his

administration will not stand for it. >> frankly, i think there is a higher level of discussion that needs to occur. those are important components that you have just mentioned. but i think that to talk at this level, and for us to move forward with either future arms control or other high-level interactions that are countries will have and how we're going to affect other nations in the world, i think it needs to start at the higher strategy level and i think the other parts are problematic. >> who was involved in that? >> pardon me? >> who is involved in the higher strategy level? >> i think principally, it is the united states and russia. >> but i mean who in particular, who on the team and the respective teams? >> i think that absolutely, the president of the united states needs to be the one that is reinforcing what our strategy is and those elements of accountability that are

important to make sure we are on record and russia is on notice that this is, the unambiguous younes disposition and frankly, the position of our allies. i think the grand leadership that is, afforded to the united states president, absolutely, it is his responsibility and no one can make the point more powerfully than the president of the united states. i think if the dialogue is at the highest level, and i think everything flows more naturally from that. as opposed to any individual component of that. which is frankly, debatable and distracting if it does not fit into a higher context. >> general, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> new details on the search for a suspect on the fatal shooting of a dr. that was treated former president george h. w. bush. plus, a rising democratic star towards the midwest at bernie sanders, could socialism be gaining traction in the heartland? the democrats at risk of

candidate, alexandria cortez hitting the trail with senator bernie sanders this weekend. the two self-proclaimed democratic socialists working to boost midwest democrats amid concerns the party is drifting too far left. for mainstream voters. garrett tenney has more.>> sanders and cortez and also the leading figures in the democratic socialist movements. not only do they believe their agenda is in the mainstream but they believe it is a winning message and states of the president when i. they spent the week in kansas and missouri for those that support the socialist agenda. medicare fall, free college tuition and guaranteed living wage for every person for today on cbs, cortez said she believes that platform is what helped her win in new york and

helping bring new voters to the democratic party. >> i think the factor that ultimately created the win was the fact that we had bold commitment and i campaigned on hard commitment of medicare for all, tuition free public college and ensuring egg deal for our future. and championing those issues, they were the reason that we won. we won across demographics.>> this surge of energy and the left wing is causing concern among party leaders who are worried the socialist agenda could actually make it more difficult to win in swing states. but at a rally in kansas with sanders, alexandria ocasio-cortez congressional candidate james thompson said he believes just the opposite. >> what people want to say this is trump country -- i say, hell no. [laughter] i looked we've been doing the district. and it doesn't work if a

centrist message would have worked in hillary clinton would have won in 2016. >> nationwide the democratic socialists of america have endorsed 42 candidates running for office in 20 states. all in hopes of growing influence here in washington. come november. arthel? >> garrett tenney, we will take it back here. mike? >> for more on this a spring in john from national -- center menendez spoke today on "fox news sunday" about the midterm strategy for the democrats. i will play this soundbite and get your reaction to it. >> ultimately, making sure we have an economy that works for everyone.not just the wealthiest. not just big corporations. our agenda is making sure that we secure our nation. including our sacred right to vote. it cannot be affected by countries like russia outside of the world. our agenda is making sure that every family goes to sleep at night knowing how the healthcare they need to keep

their family healthy and secure. >> john, your thoughts on that strategy for the midterms? >> is a soothing, vague, populist message. i think that the democrats are trying to boost turnout with antitrust voters, it would be the safest course could bring up people against trump and don't be specific about what you will do. the problem is they decided, many of them, they will go the democratic socialism route. that worked in a lot of places. but the district of ocasio-cortez voted 14 percent for donald trump. that is not going to work and a lot of other places. the house is going to be controlled by the people who win 24 districts that voted for hillary clinton in 2016 but also elected a republican congress man or woman. >> sure. >> those are not democratic socialist districts. attend to be well educated, well off and people who actually know what socialism means. and it does not work most of the time. >> democrats also counting on young people turning out and there's always a question every cycle. will they actually show up? >> you know, lots of people

have been waiting for the young vote to turn out. and in 2014, the last midterms, 23 percent of voters under the age of 30 turned out. 72 percent of seniors turned out. every two or four years we hear that they will turn out and they never do. >> were the fact democrats are playing defense for 10 senate seats and states that president trump won? >> well, democrats have a chance of taking about the house because again, the 24 districts have a lot of suburban soccer moms.people who don't like donald trump. that think his behavior is rocky and risky. but there is a different matter. there will be decided by 10 democratic senate seats in states that donald trump carry. donald trump policies maybe not the person, are still popular in those states, democrats will lose some seats. so you have a tale of two elections. you're appealing to win with some contest rents to get the house and some for the senate.

>> where are the locations that mitch mcconnell should be worried about in terms of senate republicans? >> there are three very fast-growing states bringing in a lot of young people seeking economic opportunity. nevada, arizona and tennessee. the problem in those states are, younger voters, even though they do not vote in high numbers, we've seen a precipitous drop off in support among young, female voters. the male voters under 30 still tilt slightly republican. female voters under 30, democratic margins like 30 or 35 points. it is a blowout. this election may finally be the year of the woman. the young female voter. >> fascinating. how does president trump's use ofsocial media , twitter specifically, play with young voters? >> mix. but they just wonder if it is really presidential. and a lot of it is offensive. the president is the ultimate alpha male. a lot of men understand where

he's coming from. he's the guy who enters the bar, bragging. he reminds a lot of women about a bad first day. >> john fund, thank you. >> thank you. >> houston police on the hunt for a gunman. they say he shot and killed a heart dr. that was treated the former president, george h. w. bush. the dr. was riding his bicycle through a city medical center on friday. they say the suspect was also on a bike. bryan llenas has more now. >> the dr. was riding his bike to work as he always did when just before nine amer friday, a man on another bicycle rode past him, turned and fired two shots killing the doctor. the 65-year-old cardiologist, once treated former president, george h. w. bush. the murder happened in broad daylight at the texas medical center. the houston police chief said saturday quote - this is a crime that does not make sense but we do not even have a

motive yet. it is not clear whether this was a targeted or random shooting. this is the only sketch of the suspect. described by police as a clean-shaven, white or hispanic, 30-year-old man. five feet 10 inches with a slender build. he was wearing a gray warm-up jacket, khaki shorts, a tan baseball cap and sunglasses. police are asking the public for help. if anyone has any images or videos that could show the suspect fleeing the scene. a dr. that worked with the dr. for more than 30 years. this morning on fox and friends he spoke about the shock. >> emotionally is a very tough thing to deal with. i think we all experience that in the medical community. who could have done this? it is completely unnerving and very much baffling.

>> dr. hausknecht, who practice for more than 40 years, treated bush 41 irregular heartbeat in 2000. at methodist hospital in houston. following his murder, resident bush described him as a fantastic cardiologist. and a good man. he sent prayers to the doctors family. during this difficult time. as police searched for the killer of dr. hausknecht and a motive. arthel? >> so horrible, thank you bryan llenas. >> authorities are searching for a university of iowa student who was reported missing on wednesday afternoon evening job. molly tibbets was last seen in the town of brooklyn, iowa. she was dog sitting there with her boyfriend. he says she went for a run around 10 o'clock. and never came back. she is described as five feet two inches tall with long brown hair and brown eyes. anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call the area code 641-623-5679. we pray for safe return for.

imports. it is roughly equal to the value of all chinese goods imported into the united states last year.the president is already imposed duties on $34 billion in chinese goods saying he does not like china taking advantage of the u.s. and trade peerless reno fox news contributor, the president of -- capital management and aid advisor. gary, are the tariffs working? >> all of it so far is nobody is laying down, everybody is retaliating, and china just lowered their currency which affects us. which affects them and us in a more negative way. it is on.and the problem is, the word unsold t, all of these companies, all of these industries do not know what is next. they do not know how to plan. so far, nothing going good.>>

as you know, a1a from the international monetary fund last week that escalating trade tensions are threatening to derail a global upswing.do you agree with that?>> you know, 100 percent. we can take little microcosm of what's happening with farmers. the soybean farmers cannot plan for planting. they cannot plan for equipment. they cannot plan for future contracts going forward. when you are in an industry and a business that you cannot plan, you do not even know what is next. the headline in the wall street journal this week was about the auto dealers are now preparing for what is to come next if there will be auto tariffs. why should they have to prepare? that is a huge problem for another have to prepare whether they will charge customers more, while they were they will eat the difference, all in all, it ends up eating at the prophets, into the economy, not a good thing going forward. if all of these countries come to the table and realize, we better do something, or else, then donald trump wins and

everybody wins. but so far nobody is saying nice to donald reyna. >> in what way can the tariffs help american businesses and manufacturers, farmers, consumers and the economy? >> i do not see it helping. they have used tactics in the past but all it does is increase costs. whether it is the consumer or business. when you increase cost, economies slow, business slows. it is simple economics 101. i think the president right now, even mentioned it this week. since the markets are up really strong, we can basically get away with doing this. the question is, if he does in a market and it drops a couple thousand points, does he back away? the answer is, i don't know. the way i look at it, he is taunting markets, taunting the economy. i hope i am wrong. i hope what he's doing is right

but i don't think it worked in the past at all. >> china has a history of manipulating the value of their currency. is that china's work around the tariffs? >> yes, they do not, they are much smaller than us as far as imports. they've got to find other ways. they will hold things up. they lower currency, it is cheaper for us to buy so that we can still go and buy their stuff. but again, that is when you get into this distortions. for eight years, i really complained about obama, about uncertainty on taxes, on regulations, rules and mandates and fees and fines. this puts uncertainty in the system. when i'm a business and i cannot prepare for the next week and maybe things change one week later, that is troublesome. and that is where my biggest worry. we can talk all of the numbers and minutia. but really, uncertainty for business on what is next.

it is now becoming all kinds of businesses. all kinds of industry. and again, i worry that the president will go a little far. i hope i am wrong. >> how far can he go before those businesses that you referred to go knocking on the president's door, figure truly speaking? saying this is not working for us. >> some businesses already have.someone at harley-davidson already said it will cost us an extra $100 billion. right now we would eat it but we will also move some businesses into other areas of the globe. again, affecting jobs here. so it has already done that. he believes, that this is the best tactic against what he believes has been unfair trade practices. i must say, he is right. china has been a bad player for a long time. i believe he is wrong on somebody in canada. i think there's a better way to do it. >> -- >> you get people in a room and discuss it, not just use a

strong arm. but he wants the strong arm. >> racing discussions did not work before? >> i do not think they have sat down at the table in a very big way. and really gone over this in a very big way. i think there's more harsh rhetoric out there and again, i think he is using this as a tactic and i hope it works. >> gary kaltbaum, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> after record rainfall in washington d.c., another round of wet weather forecast for parts of the nation. where it will hit the hardest. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. wax record rainfall swapping

nations capital as storms continue to slam parts of the east poster take a look. my family and friends are over it. it may not stop anytime soon. let's bring in our meteorologist, paul williams. what is the forecast for the rest of the nation? >> i hear you say your family and friends are over it by now? >> yes, sir! >> unfortunately, we have more stuff to get over. might as well prepare for our meteorological therapist. the rain unfortunately will continue throughout the entire east coast. i wish i could say you'll get a break by midweek but a spoiler alert, no. unfortunately, we're looking for widespread scattered showers montrcal to new york down towards dc. this will also become problematic for folks in the

ohio valley. in addition to that. not only for the northeast that they are sick of the ramp at the southeast is sick of the repair we look at widespread rain showers today raleigh, atlanta, jacksonville and to pensacola towards miami.at least a strip of rain will take off in the middle of the country appear less humid but minneapolis, omaha looking for storms closely associated with this front. one quick note in denver, major travel delays there. then the flip side, folks who would love to have this rain but some of us are not so thrilled about it. stifling heat, just continues to hold on and refuse to let go in texas. not as hot in oklahoma city. a little better news there for the southwest. it stays dry as well. >> meteorologist, paul williams, i like you even if i do not like your forecast. thank you, sir. >> i agree with that! i love paul williams.
