you'll never be the destroy trump media mob. let not your heart be troubled. hope you have a great night. see you soon. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham this is the ingraham angle. it's friday, but a lot on tonight. we're happy you're with us. we have shocking reports that we learn that thousands of illegal immigrants are being dropped off in cities across the country. i we're going to tell you where it's happening and what should be done next. very important information. plus, democrats in the house today, all supported something called -- i put it in quotes the equality act. it sounded nice on the surface. we'll dig into it. we'll see what's inside. we'll see how they're pushed for the politically correct results could put young girls and religious organizations at risk.

and raymond arroyo is here with a very dirty friday follies. revealing the body part americans do not wash and why you should think twice before jumping into the public pool this summer. wait until you see what congressional dems were doing instead of legislating this week. but first -- attorney general bill bahr sitting down with a wide-ranging interview with fox news earlier today and it's driving the hcritics nuts. >> attorney general bill barr short on specifics, long on rhetoric today. >> this attorney general is the attorney general of president trump's fantasies. >> he acts more and more like a mouthpiece of the president. it's more than disappointing. >> absolutely incredible. barr has done nothing but damage his credibility. with law enforcement.

>> he might as well -- >> good lord. >> slap an ex-kgb bag on our attorney general. well, not a whole lot. he did preview how the investigation into the investigators might play out. and why. well, let's unpack each of the significant takeaways one-by-one. it's important for all of you tonight to understand every bit of this. first. here's why bar initiated this investigation. >> no one has really looked at it. i think there's a misconception out there that we know a lot about what happened. the fact of the matter is, bob mueller did not look at the government's activities, he's looking at the trump campaign had conspired with the russians. he was not going back to look at the counterintelligence program. >> laura: second, the a.g. reveals the more he dig, the more questions he has. >> i tried to get the questions. a lot of the answers are inadequate.

and i also found that some of the explanations thatnd i've gotten don't hang together. so, in a sense, i h have more questions today than i did when i first started. >> laura:: he also explained why the nature of the players behind this campaign to spy on trump was unusual. even to a seasoned vet like barr. >> this was handled at a senior level of the departments, not in the ordinary way that investigations or counterintelligence activities are conducted. it was an ad hoc small group most of the people are not with the fbi or cia or the other agencies involved. >> laura: barr revealed why it's in the public interest that he pursue potentially the corrupt origins of the russian probe. >> if we're worried about foreign influence for the same reason, we should be worried about whether government officials abused their power and put their thumb on the scale. and so i'm not saying that happened, but i'm saying we have

to look at that. >> laura: bingo. now given the challenges could weather the attacks and actually remain effective. >> when you took this job, did you think that democrats would make you the target? >> yes. >> you were ready for that.? >> yes, i thought i was in a position where this kind of criticism really wouldn't bother mef very much. >> laura: he's completely not affected by this. it's buzzing around him. he does hisau job. all of this drives the resistance crazy. joining me now with reaction attorney and member of the trump 2020 advisory council, john ethan, senior fellow at the claremont institute and ari fleischer, former white house press secretary and fox news contributor. ari, i want to start with you. i want to hit that last bit of the o video that we just played.

barr seems to almost -- he kind of almost welcomes all of these partisan barbs. they're nasty. being thrown at him. so how important is it that these new investigations unfold without any other interference? >> it's vital. if the democrats hold themselves to the same standards, they would be guilty of obstruction of justice themselves after going after the attorney amgeneral. you put in that long clip of thn democrats criticizing barr, you remember eric holder, barack obama attorney general called himself barack obama's wing man. that's his words. a he called himself his wing man. do you recall people going nuts saying how can he say that? he's supposed to be independent. bill barr is a seasoned experienced attorney general.de that's what we need now to figure out what, if anything was done improperly when they authorized all of these wiretaps and surveillance techniques to be used against trump.

>> laura: the tweet that just came out about 20 minutes ago from our old friend, jim comey the following -- he writes -- the ag should stop sliming his own department. if there are bad facts, show us or search for them professionally and tell us what tyou found. an ag must act like the leader of the department of justice, an organization based on truth. donald trump has enough spokess people. they're all singing from the same himmal, john? -- hymnal. >> they are. i think james comey in particular is worried where the investigation is going to lead. they discredit it on the front end. the fact we do know, hillary clinton and the dnc illegally laundered money to pay for a dossier with russian intelligence sources, part of it. we learned that this last week. and they did that in order to authorize spying on the opposition political campaign. this is scandal of historic proportions. and i'm pleased that attorney

general barr is finally willing to get to the bottom of it. >> laura: there's something that's so hilarious about how unaffected he is. he's batting it away. doesn't get emotional or dramatic about it. he was also asked about the mueller report obstruction decision itself, let's watch. >> were you surprised when he came back with no recommendation on that obstruction charge? y does that surprise you? >> yes, that surprised me. >> how come. >> because the function of a prosecutor is to make a call one way or the other. he gave an explanation for it and it's pretty much reflected in the report. >> you're okay with him testifying. >> absolutely. >> he was himself surprised that there was no obstruction recommendation. he doesn't care, if mueller can testify, he can testify.

he's not worried about stone walling the democrats for information. go ahead. >> right. i mean, he is unflappable in the face of this kind of histrionic demagoguery calling him a kgb agent and so forth. he was pulling his punches a little bit in that particular response. because it was not appropriate for bob mueller to put all of this dirt and smear and negative information out there about the president in this report and then not be able to pinpoint any particular crime.id that is the type of smear and report we used to see with the windependent counsel that has been discontinued and meant to be sort of an impeachment report and not what the special counsel report is supposed to be. it's supposed to be something that talks about crime or not crime. so by punting that and putting the dirt out there, he did a disservice to his reputation bob mueller did. barr doesn't want to touch that. he's leaving mueller to fend for himself which i think is

appropriate. t >> pam, i want to get to another developing story again tonight. new special counsel records are showing former national security advisor, mike flynn, reported multiple instances before and after the guilty plea where he or his lawyers got calls from individuals connected to the administration or congress. now, his brother, joe flynn told fox's katherine herridge he was set up. >> because of the vocal criticism of the obama administration and specifically the intelligence community thata he came out of, my suspicion was they were doing m everything thy could to trip him up and to trap him. >> laura: ari, is this an upset brother or is there something to this, i think? >> i don't know. you have to let that story play on and find out what they're talking about, who the people are. what concerns me the most, in terms of good government transition of the obama people to the trump people was full of booby traps and time bombs and two went off against michael

flynn. michael flynn, threatening the logan act. going after him for his contacts. appropriate contacts for the incoming national securityt. advisor should have with foreign officials. and then unmasking him and unleaking that information. unmasked information from the press. that, itself is a crime, the leaking of that classified information. and there were certainly other time bombs and booby traps they left behind. the dossier briefing was then immediately leaked the facts of it to cnn. and when they downgraded top secret information to secret information so more people in the government could have it. that could leak further embarrassing donald trump on a collusion allegation. all of this was the handiwork of obama's people. so, laura, i asked the question what did president obama know and when did he authorize it. that, too, needs to be found out. >> laura: a lot of people are raising questions in their minds and also now publicly about the

former president of the united states himself given his closeness with the attorney general at the time. john, i want to ask you, as a professor of law at chapman, we had an interesting moment -- nancy pelosi appeared at a georgetown law school event and decided to chime in on impeachment on this issue. let's watch. >> i think the president every day gets grounds of impeachment in terms of his obstruction of justice. you never say blanketly, i'm not answering any subpoenas. but everybody today is an instant gratification. you got a subpoena, we want someone to go to jail. no, it takes time. >> laura: i'm kind of at a loss to even understand her. so now you should be impeached because you stand not for the executive's authority to not turn over everything to congress? i mean, wow, that's a lot of impeachable presidents over our history. >> that's right. almost every president objects to broad subpoenas.

congress has oversight authority. they don't have the authority to interfere with the operation of the executive. so that's why we have executive privilege. but, look, there's an old adage the best defense is a strong offense. i think the democrats, because they lost the election and lost control over hiding the secrets of what went on back in 2016 are going on offense to try to make it look like you know everything that they actually did was -- was trump did himself. and when the real collusion comes out, we'll have been w hearing so much over the last y couple of years of trump's collusion falsely, that it will kind of take the sting out of what really happened, which is the hillary campaign colluded with the russians. there's no doubt about it now. >> laura: here's the tweet a short while ago. my campaign for president was conclusively spied on. nothing like that has happened on american politics.

a bad situation, treason means long jail sentences and this would treason -- we're almost out of time.s but treason? yes or no? >> it could be. i don't think we have enough facts. even in "the new york times" is beginning to say what professor eastman just said. it's the clinton campaign that willingingly took information from the russians and unfortunately duped efbl the deputy attorney general to signing on to putting that on on americans.py that is illegal whether it constitutes unwilling treason we have to suspend justice to find out more. >> laura: the cautious lawyer. i love it. great panel. coming up,co thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants are being bussed around the country. are theyng coming to your town. and nancy pelosi caught in a big, big live. up next.

>> laura: the ingraham angle has been on the front lines of the illegal immigration crisis in this country. we showed you that last week. it's not just a problem, it's a nationalwe concern. the majority of illegal

immigrants crossing our southern border told me they're not staying in the border communities. i no, they go north. and we have exclusive access inside one of the cbp processing centers and can attest they are at capacity. dozens and dozens are packed into the facility that is not meant to be permanent. shirt the cbt says they're currently making contingency plans to transport family units to other border patrol locations across the country, specifically in northern and coastal communities that have the capacity and necessary computers and so forth to handle the processing. in the meantime, the trump administration is looking to hire a private contractor to support the transport of some quarter of a million illegal aliens over the next five years to shelters all acrosse the country while they wait for their asylum claim. now, to be processed is complicated. you don't just put someone's

fingerprint in the system. think about it. we'll have 250,000 illegals just deposited into cities and towns across the country. now the fact is most of the family units illegally crossing the borders are release in the local communities where they're eventually caught. now, they're given a notice to appear in court and they're dropped at a central location nearby. now, take the state of new mexico, for instance. a lot of people are uncovering shower new mexico, but it's a big story. just this week, the small city demming declared a state of emergency after the small little place, 170 migrants were sent there and released. last week in response, governor michelle lujon grishom paid $4,000 of estate money to transport 55 illegals to neighboring colorado. well, illegal immigration is crippling new mexico. it's a border state. again, it rarely gets talked

about when we discussed this immigration crisis. byby the way, the colorado governor wasn't thrilled because he wasn't even told that the 55 asylum seekers were being sent to his state. and we've just learned a week ago that border patrol agents in laredo intercepted a truck containing 120 illegals who were trying to enter the united states. 11 of them were juveniles, all from central america. t and finally, it keeps getting more shocking. a potential serial killer who's in the country illegally has been arrested in texas. police say billy of kenya previously arrest in the death of an 81-year-old woman, has also been charged with killing at least 11 more elderly women even more frightening. police said then that investigators are reviewing about 750 unattended deaths of elderly women for possible links

to this illegal immigrant. we'll continue to follow this story. >> despite all of what we just told you, democrats for months have been saying, there's no border crisis or trump causedsa the border crisis. nancy pelosi yesterday somehow forgot all of the things that we talked about and had the gal gall to say this. >> we never not said there's not a crisis -- there's a humanitarian crisis. at the border. >> laura: oh, yeah, okay. no one every denied it. oh, please, leapt's jog her memory, shall we. here's what we heard from the left over the last few months. >> this so-called crisis at the border is fake. this is the crisis of his own making because it was a campaign pledge. damage >> this artificial crisis that the president isn'tgi going to justify his appropriating money for a wall that congress is unwilling to give. >> laura: but that was just the other dems. never saidlf

anything like that, right? >> the president's manufactured crisis, the president decided that he imagined or whatever and had the mythology of a crisis at the border. president trump must stop holding american people hostage. stop manufacturing a crisis. president, the evidence of what's happening there does not support the crisis you describe. >> laura: we still have to second them over a pitch fork for that classic american gothic shot. joining me now is the reaction from a commentator filmmaker. it appears that pelosi is attempting to gaslight americans here. what do you think? >> well, i've been scratching my head. because on the face of it there's a blatant contradiction. she repeatedly said there's no crisis. suddenly now she seems to say there is a crisis. howis can you resolve this contradiction? there's only one way to do it. that is that there are actually two separate crises at the border. there's trump's crisis and there's pelosi's crisis.

trump's crisis is that the border is too porous, illegals are getting in, ms 13 gang members are getting in. pelosi denies that's a crisis.et she says there's no crisis, she does notmp's crisis exist. what is her crisis? it's the exact opposite. her crisis is that there is -- that the border is not porous enough, not enough illegals are pouring in. so when she says there's a humanitarian crisis, she means that there are hungry, sick starving people at the border. withe need to let more of this emin.s so that's i think the way to resolve this apparent contradiction. she wants to see more illegals. >> laura: cnn made a big deal this week of pictures that are heart breaking. i mean, they're children who are in a -- in outdoors or on the ground. they're mylar blankets. they're pouring out of these processing centers, children and adults, and they're being held in places where they're not

meant to be held because those are processing centers, they're not permanent detainment areas where people are the -- detained for days and days and days. the congress doesn't want to give hhs which takes care of these, unaccompanied minors they don't wantt to give them money. they complain about look at how these people are. and then they won't admit there's a real problem, do so, everyone is pointing fingers at one another. but you have to have a solution to stop this madness. because it's endangering the lives of kids and frankly the american people. >> yeah, we have to realize this kind of humanitarian crisis that pelosi is referring to is actually worldwide. you think of people who are sick and starving, that's happening in india, in thailand, in china. so you have to ask why the

particularly solicitude for this particular group of starving people in mexico. and the answer is political. in other words, it's not that nancy pelosi wants to share her wealth or the wealth of america with india and china. not at all. the reason that the democrats have a special interest in the illegals is they want to transform the demographics of america, even though illegals can't vote, over time, they have children, their children are american citizens, that i grow up, they can vote. and more over, the blurring of the distinction between legals and illegals, which is not only what the democrats through the media does this all the time it's aimed at perpetrating the lie that republicans, quote hate hispanics. so hate mexicans. so, by focusing the -- the notion on legal immigrants in america, they can convey this idea that americans are somehow against immigrants which is in fact not the case. >> laura: you are an

immigrant, speaking of the issue. danesh, thank you so much. coming up, why the swimming pool can be the most dangerous place for you this summer? no. and what democrats are doing instead of legislating. all that and more, friday follies with raymond arroyo next. once-daily toujeo helps you

>> facebook representative found that the trump campaign showed interest in wikileaks. >> surrounding russian influence in the u.s. presidential election. >> when linked to the special counsel's oversight. >> to kill a mockingbird.he >> could they have read treasure island or to kill a mockingbird? iswhat are they accomplishing? not only is it poorly written we know i how it ends. i prefer lamar burton. >> laura: no.. she has a dramatic flare. >> absolutely. >> something shocking i learned. with summer coming, people should be aware of this. according to a new study by the waterth quality and health council, 51% of americans use a public pool as the communal bath. they get in the pool in lieu of showers. all of that diminishes the effect of the chlorine making these stats more terrifying. brace yourself. 40% of americans admitted they

pee in the pool. 24% of americans go in the pool within an hour of having diarrhea. i don't go near water parks public pools. don't do it. >> laura: okay. okay. all of those people -- all of those people are -- have they showered before they've gone in. a club or something, shower before you go in. but you are a fairly aquatic person. >> i am not. my aquatic life is confined to the shower. you saw that thing floating in the pool. fecal matter can last ten days even in a properly treated pool. >> laura: this is a new low. >> no, no. you were asking me earlier. doesn't the chlorine help? >> laura: yeah, the chlorine fixes it. >> hepatitis a, 16 minutes it takes chlorine to get it. parasite, 45 minutes. here's the killer.

takes 10 days to kill it. i'm reading these stats. >> before we go on, the democrats have gotten through first volume of the mueller report. >> relaid that the president was. >> harper lee, it ain't. speaking of stinkers. >> it adds if people clean their feet in the shower. instagram. >> it starts with did you clean your leg. >> an on-line poll on twitter right before the show. thousands and thousands of people. t here's what the responders said chris metcalf said they're passively clean by the soapy water on the floor of the club. please, laura, i'm not telling you what i wash in the shower. >> why are you so fascinated by this topic? i want to know. >> laura: it did make me think.

it could cause injury in the shower with the soap under your foot if you areur -- >> one leg up, you clean it, one leg down, you clean it. >> laura: he never shows his feet. >> my feet are pristine. i have to admit. you a do clean them. >> laura: taylor swift does not wash her legs. she told ellen recently. >> when you shave your legs isn't the shaving cream is like soap, right? that could understand. >> oh, for sure. >> that's like saying shampoo cleans your ears. >> laura: we have an interruption here. we'll go check back on the hous: democrats one more time. what are they doing? >> they did not think it was sustainable or for comey to stay on as fbi director for the next four years. >> i'm sorry, i was cleaning my feet during that segment. >> laura: isn't it strange though. isn't it strange how people on social media will post things. you know they're stupid. but then it gets you to thinking

about it. >> i don't think about this. one way or another. if you're cleaning your body. the soap is on -- >> laura: this is the news.'v >> that will help to clean whatever is there, unless you've been walking through a mud pit or you're playing lacrosse or something, how dirty are you? >> laura: i have seven boys coming over for a birthday party. i'm thinking about the pool. that's what i'm thinking about. >> extra chlorine. >> laura: all get in the shower before getting in the pool. >> coming up, no piece of legislation will allow biological boys in the locker room and a lot more.e. that coming up next. lot more. lot more. that coming up all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees

discrimination across the country, including in federally funded education programs. and many believe it would result in horrible outcomes, especially for girls participating in sports who will be put at a gross athletic disadvantage. then there's the concern about religious organizations who because ofof their conscience concerns, well, they can't fully participate in the new concerns about lgbtq and that they will then be sued into submission by well, of course, greedy trial lawyers. so this may create a huge mess. so let's focus tonight on one group that the bill seens to protect, and the medical consequences of subjecting young bodies to hormonal treatments and even surgery. dr. paul bruce, an endocrinologist and wrote that these treatments for gender disforic youths are drastic and experimental. there's a lot of politics involved in the passage of this legislation today.

but i have a question after reading a lot about this, why is the medical community so afraid of considering the impact of hormone treatment and surgeries and so forth for the young? >> it's fairly important to recognize the goal that individuals are suffering based on very poor science and any efforts to draw attention to poor science and the potential of very serious consequences in the hormonal interventions not given the attention they deserve. it's unique in comparison to other diseases that we t care fr for physicians. >> and the kids under the age of 18, who have not fully developed, even people who have gone through puberty, their

sexual maturity in most cases hadn't been reached, correct doctor, until maybe 23, 24, 25 years of age? that's what i've been reading in the medical literature today. >> that is true. and, in fact, aspects of both physical development and emotional development we tend to equate everything that goes on related to puberty, there's adolescence as well. there's a process that goes on in children as they're trying to come to terms with changes going on in their body are also struggling to identify themselves in relation to their peers. this is a normal process we see in children. one of the concerns of that is about this particular approach to treating these individuals that have a gender identity that is not in accord with their biology is that it will actually influence how they're able to make that normal integration and really subject them to the need

of medical intervention that has potential very serious harms to their bodies throughout the rest of their life. without even considering whether help them and even recognizing that a large number of children that question their gender identity are going to, ifzi q my left alone, are going to realign their identity with their biological sex. >> laura: the studies that hav been done show 85% to 90% of children no longer experience feelings of gender dysphoria after having gone through puberty. in your mindish is that a correct figure? >> the estimates vary, but it's the majority -- all of the studies that have been done over a dozen studies and many of the earlier studies were small studies, have all consistently shown the same effect. one thing that's concerning if one tries to interfere with the normal puberty to stop normally timed puber the i in children that the children in the small

study that was done looking at the effect of that all went on to persist in the transgender identity, really changing that statistic drastically from the normal trajectory we normally see. >> we have congress, folks today, saying that concern about the legislation is a bunch of fear mongering. katie hill from california let's watch. >> this is fear mongering about transwomen playing in sports. are you kidding me? i don't know if my colleagues on the other side of the aisle realize they've met transpeople but they have. they definitely have. >> so, doctor, it goes to that. the conversation moves away from -- and especially about transgender folks, it's the politics that gets involved.

but the reality medically is something that to me is being completely overlooked. i read there are 45 centers that have cropped up across theha country, major medical institutions, that are devoted a lot of resources to the treatment of -- of transgender -- transgenderism and reassignment surgery and so forth. that is a explosive growth in the treatment and it's big money, is it not? >> well, it's actually over 50 now.me and really the amazing concern about the growth of this particular approach to dealing with children that have this transgender identity is to adopt a single intervenning that's based on very, very poor quality science. and even those that are advocating for this intervention that are involved in this -- in this intervention for children will acknowledge that the science really has not been done to really establish what the long-term effects are and already the data that's coming forward raisesre serious concer.

not only how these children are going to normally move through the developmental stages and their identity, but the effects of the hormonal treatment having effects on the body that are t going to be -- fertility issues infertility, increased risk of cardiovascular disease. and the -- the data is not there. it gets back to the point of clouding the difference between when we're talking about genter identity and the biological reality of sex. we know that giving hormones to individuals that is not in align with their biological sex is not the same thing as giving it to levels that are normally present in men. and so many concerns about this. >> doctor, we've got to go. this is something that must be studied and must be done meticulously. peer reviewed studies. we have childrenen involved. forget all of the implications that are political and religious, there are children

involved, children -- we're talking about -- >> children are very much being harmed, yes. >> doctor, thank you. >> really -- >> thank you so much. we're out of time. we'll have you uh back. this is an issue that's not going away. coming up, alabama's new abortion law on its way to the court?am shannon bream is here next. from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase.

>> missouri is the latest state to advance a new restrictive abortion ban today days after alabama's sweeping new measure. the bills are drawing the ire of democrats everywhere. it's a fundamental assault on our basic freedom. >> this may be the moment that women feared whenn they poured into the streets on the day following donald trump's inauguration. >> the public polling doesn't support something that draconian. >> what they want to do is control women's bodies and to use other women to help draft legislation to do this. >> laura: joining me now is shannon bream, host of fox news at night and author of the brann new book, "finding the bright side." we're going to get to the book in a moment. but this topic, shannon, so happy you're on the pod cast, so awesome.me we had so much fun. i didn't get to everything i

wanted to get to. but the controversy surrounding the alabama law, you write in your book about that moment in law school where people couldn't believe other people might disagree with their view that abortion was -- it was all the rage. but you stood up saying not everybody agrees with it. it reminds me of the craze in the media. >> shannon: we had our constitutional law class. to on the day on the row v wade i was looking forward to it. it's interesting, a controversial topic, a lot of people argued it wasn't rightly decided on a legal basis. r i sat in class going on and on nobody was going to stand up and say, hey,dy there might be anotr side to this argument. maybe it's at least worth considering. you're trained to argue both sides of everything in law school. >> laura: the people on tv, the anchors are acting like there's no one in the united states who

disagreed with the prevailing elite view that, you know, a baby isn't a baby or it's born it can be terminated. life can be terminated. they're stunned that there are millions of young people and women who believe that. >> that's what we see for the march for life. they say i've seen the sonogram. my brothers and sisters say it's changed myfe feelings. it's interesting to see the younger generation feels that way. let's argue anything. you need to be able to argue both sides of it. >> laura: there's another opinion on this. >> shannon: it was a one-sided oclass. >> laura: nothing has changed in the class of media. a lot of people are saying it's not smart by alabama because it will get struck down by the state court and then the supreme court doesn't want to go near this. what are your thoughts? >> shannon: et's interesting. you know how it works. you have to get four votes behind closed doors toin get ito the forefront. it's such a huge leap. more cases are likely to get to the supreme court. they're chipping away at things indiana has provisions you can't have abortions forpp things like

down's syndrome. i think you'll see that get to the court before this let's throw out row v. wade in one fell swoop.'l i don't think the court will take it. >> laura: get something. date like a man.ta date like a man? like wait a second, what is shannon getting into by the way. i love your mother, i've gotten to know your mother in the book. i adore her. she's so protective of you. what is date like a man. >> shannon: i had my heart broken by an especially tragic situation by someone who i wasn't who i thoughtn they were. i'm going to date like a dude. have some fun, a free dinner here and there. that's very un-pc. a cute guy, know motional attachments. not going to -- i'm not going to do it. as soon asas i do that, i said,o thank you, i met my husband.et >> laura: so that's the lesson? >> shannon: that's the trick.. like say you ear not interested in theseha guys.
