>> emily: hello, everyone. i'm emily compagno here with my co-host kayleigh mcenany and harris faulkner. joining us today, kennedy and john james. the white house is giving a new spin on the sky-high gas prices which have shattered records for two straight weeks putting a serious strain on americans' wallets and now president biden is suggesting that the high gas prices are a step toward the far left's green agenda. watch. >> when it comes to the gas

prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that god willing, when it's over, we'll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over. >> emily: john james, the president has finally said the quiet part outloud, right, that the skyrocketing prices of gas and oil is all because of his agenda. it's exactly what the democrats wanted when they killed the keystone pipeline and when they killed all the oil leases. >> john: this is the modern day equivalent to let them eat cake. as long as his legacy is preserved he doesn't care about your future. i'm all about all the above energy strategy that is sustainable and protects american energy independence and protects american jobs but you have this green new deal lobby and the agenda that biden is pushing forward that's crushing american jobs and crushing our wallets. they have no experience in the real world and it's showing right now with their arrogant and detachment from outside the

beltway. they are making americans feel the pain and they don't have a plan for long term sustainable clean energy that will keep our jobs here and allow american energy independence. we cannot, cannot trade our dependence on foreign oil for our dependence on chinese matters. >> emily: to john james' point, while we are dealing with scarcity and shortage of baby formula and skyrocketing prices, the bottom line is the president is failing to reassure americans. >> kennedy: he hasn't acknowledged a problem when you see this as a positive transition, you have already failed because when people can't afford gas, they can't go to work. when they can't go to work, businesses suffer. when businesses shut down, people lose their jobs and we all know that in a recession, more people are likely to get sick and die, unfortunately, because they don't have the means to take care of themselves. this is nothing to celebrate. but ultra leftists have been

saying that part outloud for a long time. they have believed that the federal government needs to act oppressively to raise energy prices and that will somehow force people to get off of fossil fuels. what they don't acknowledge is, you know, yes, alternative energy sources will certainly be our future thanks to private american innovation, but we need a ramp to get there. they're not acknowledging that the ramp is going to need to be broader and it is going to take more time than the few years that we spend in economic crisis which is incredibly inhumane being ok with that, you know, a lot of people suffering for an ultimate good end. >> emily: that's right, harris, a lot of people are suffering and to kennedy's point about time, you know, frankly a recession is brewing. and yet, this white house remains disconnected with both messaging and action. >> harris: i want to know when mark rufalo the actor started writing talking points for the

president of the united states? we were saying last week that the actor in hollywood was saying the fuel prices are high because of the war in ukraine. he bought biden's line on that and blaming putin to, i suspect. what he was saying is this is an opportunity. an opportunity to take a look at the fossil fuel costs as an opportunity to transition into that green energy vision that so many on the left have. that's what the president said. he said the same thing. so i don't know if maybe actors are writing his talking points. maybe he'll be able to remember the lines better, the president. but i would say this -- when we suffer, we can't help anybody effectively. you cannot on a plane survive a crash if you don't put your mask on first before you help somebody else with their oxygen mask. and right now, our economy, when it comes to prices of things, is suffocating us. we need oxygen. we need a plan. we need a president who understands that when you overspend, you only drive inflation. we need someone who can do basic math or take notes from somebody

other than mark rufalo. that's what happened, sounds like it did. >> emily: kayleigh, i want to get thoughts on strategy here. what this represents is a dramatic shift in strategy of this administration from prior to this, they were blaming putin and they were blaming everything else but essentially their agenda coming clean that, yes, this is exactly what we wanted. so what do you make of this? >> kayleigh: what i make of this is they do have a strategy. that strategy making sure you can't afford gas so you can't afford your car, you can't afford your vehicle and you have to buy a clean energy source. emily, as we speak right now, president biden is on his way back from asia. i just read as we came to air that they made a stop. they stopped at an air base in alaska. why did they stop? they stopped to refuel. let me tell you this. president biden does not pay that bill for the air force one fuel. i imagine it's astronomical and certainly double what it was during the trump years. if he had to pay that bill, i imagine he wouldn't be lauding

this as an incredible transition. if he had to pay the bill that he rides in, i don't think he'd be lauding this. they look at you like we're in an experiment that we're little pawns they can move around. don't just listen to biden. his interior secretary was asked before congress, are energy prices too high? and she refused to say yes. the economic advisor was asked, what's your plan? he didn't have one. but guess who was honest with us. secretary jennifer granholm, when she was asked what should we do about clean energy? her direct quote was this, accelerate the move to clean energy because it will make us independent. that is the grand design. they want to price you out of the market. you can go buy a tesla and move to a fuel efficient vehicle which will be, who knows, what is it? $100,000. i don't know how much a tesla is right now. you can't afford it and can't afford your gas bill and that's biden's plan. >> harris: look, this is before we would suffer any grid issues.

we know it happens on both coasts every summer when it gets hot, california is deal with some of that heat right now. it forces grid issues. yet, we're going to drive things that depend on grids. we're not there yet. the infrastructure isn't there yet. now reporting that president biden wants to tap the diesel oil reserve to help out the price of diesel that in some places is well over $7 a gallon right now. that's causing the prices of everything to go up. how does he want to hit the inflation on the product? he wants to release more fuel. the last release was only going to help us 10 to 35 cents a gallon of regular unleaded. we're at $4.59 a gallon now. if you take off 10 cents, do you feel it? i don't think so. >> emily: that's exactly right. and those are exactly the issues, harris, that all of us going to the ballot boxes at the midterms are carrying with us. the burden that biden doesn't have to enjoy to kayleigh's point, understanding what refuelling the beast and refuelling air force one means, that's what we all understand every time we go to the pump. every week or in many americans' cases, every day.

coming up, biden vows to run again in 2024 despite the growing gaffes and missteps. but behind the scenes, many democrats are reportedly asking oh, there has to be a backup plan. right? i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! (sighs wearily) here i'll take that! (excited yell) woo-hoo! ensure max protein. with thirty grams of protein, one gram of sugar, and nutrients to support immune health.

pain hits fast. so get relief fast. only tylenol rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain relief. and now get relief without a pill

with tylenol dissolve packs. relief without the water. i have fantastic news for fellow veterans who need money for their family and home. with tylenol dissolve packs. there's a powerful va benefit that veterans have earned, but many don't even know about. it's the va home loan benefit. as a veteran, you're eligible to apply for a refinance loan for up to 100% of your home's value. not just 80% like other loans. the newday 100 va loan lets you refinance your mortgage, consolidate your high-rate credit card debt, get cash and lower your payments an average of $600 a month. so if you need money to take care of your family, use the valuable va home loan benefit you've earned with your service.

>> kayleigh: a backup plan may be quietly emerging when it comes to president biden in 2024. democrats may not want to say it publicly but there seems to be a whole lot of soul searching going on within the party privately. as "new york" magazine explains, biden may feel gratitude to him for vanquishing trump and at the

same time, unease about a visibly aging 79-year-old whose g.o.p. opponents are only growing more extremist. john, the opening to this "new york" magazine piece really caught my attention. i thought it was worded so cleverly. let me read it to you. on a tuesday evening in april, nearly half a century, half a century, after joe biden first publicly mused about running for president, an unsettled cross section of the democratic establishment assembled at pinehurst, golf resort at the reception on the lawn. conversation switched to grim midterms and to grimmer the party planning of 2024 where biden will stand for re-election on the eve of his 82nd birthday. seems the democrat establishment recognizes what the world does, that he may not have it all together at his age. >> john: look, one of the greatest strokes of genius or probably with this guy, luck, is that he actually picked for vice

president someone who the americans like less than him. that's the greatest job security or he probably would have been jettisoned already. all this talk about backup plans, is this how they're governing? is this how they're governing based on the midterms and who is going to win? govern now. they have the presidency. they have the senate. they have the house. and if they govern for what the people wanted right now, rather than what their agenda says that they think we want, then they might be in a better position. right now, they know that joe biden was only elected to beat donald trump and to overturn his agenda. and what do we have now? we have a border crisis. what do we have now? we have an energy crisis. what do we have now? we have international crisis because of being botched afghanistan withdrawal, ukraine and botched statement on taiwan. this guy is a hot mess. right now, we have more leaders talking about the things that people wants. parental rights in talking about school choice. securing our borders. making sure that we have manufacturing and energy

independence because i tell you what, i run a logistics company and i have tractors. my energy cost has gone up 100%, doubled since this time last year. double since the trump administration. and these are things that will help us because i guarantee you, the same thing that my tractors run on are the same thing that farmers are running their tractors on. wait, because this biden agenda will make things more scarce on the shelves and more expensive at the pump and democrats need to focus on actually running the country and not winning elections every single time. >> kayleigh: yeah, practical words of wisdom there. one thing i find really curious. i've always thought that president biden's running, why, because he told us so. watch this soundbite. >> yes, my plan is to run for re-election. that's my expectation. >> do you plan to run for re-election? >> yes. but look, i'm a great respecter of faith. faith has intervened in my life many, many times. if i'm in the health i'm in now, if i'm in good health, then, in fact, i would run again.

>> kayleigh: harris, there's this line that people asked me, this is a former aide, with some regularity, when is biden going to come out and say what he's going to do about running. an advisor told me recently well, he has. he's told us more than anything he's running but yet, his own party doesn't seem to believe him. >> harris: i want to give them credit, though. he was really honest right there. he was very transparent because he knows 12 days after november 8th, he turns 80. he'll be an octagenarian and we can talk about what happens in 2024 but that's a long way away when you have the crises that we have right now. he was very honest when he said, if i have the health then. but we're more concerned, as john james just said, about what's going on now. i can't imagine a worse situation but then again, from what you read from that article, kayleigh, i couldn't imagine that last april, biden's disapproval rating sat at 56% this past april.

i wouldn't have imagined that either. i had to look down to make sure i said it right. like i couldn't have imagined that either. so he's very transparent when he says, yeah, he's running if he can do it. but, as john pointed out, who is the backup plan? who is plan b, kayleigh? i don't know. maybe mayor pete as kennedy likes to call him. hey. ok. but anyway, i just want to know what's going to happen between now and the first election day which is in november? because we're going to be hurting going into the biggest driving season of the year. what is that going to look like? what will he do? >> kayleigh: yeah, he says fate may intervene in his decision, kennedy. well, fate could be any number of things. it could be inflation. it could be gas prices. it could be empty shelves where baby formula is supposed to be. it could be the american people, wall street journal only 29% say president biden is going to run.

that's 29% of the entire american public of likely voters. that's a very small number. >> kennedy: yeah, democrats don't want him to run again and that's why you're hearing this panic from their hoity-toity establishment gatherings so you have to ask yourself and this is really all republicans have to say is -- is your life better now than it was four years ago? is your life better now at this point in president biden's presidency than it was during president trump's presidency? and overwhelming number of people will go, you know what? there were things about president trump that i really didn't like. however, i liked that the stock market was higher. i like that interest rates were lowerment -- i like that gas prices and food prices are lower. i like that i can go to the grocery store and get a bunch of stuff for my family without having a panic attack. i like all those things. i like the thought of being able to hire more people for my business and that's all you have to do and stop touting

accomplishments that are theoretical at best and flat out lie at worst. >> kayleigh: the guessing game of who the backup is, emily, we talked about pete and kamala. gavin newsome has been touted as a potential candidate himself has some thoughts. watch. ahh, we don't have the sound. here you go. on thursday, newsome said he and harris have supported each other in their careers and is going to continue to do so. here is the next line. i'm hopeful she is the next president of the united states. newsome has said who has been touted as a candidate himself, i don't know if it's posturing himself but interesting quote there. >> emily: newsome and kamala share the same donors. they've grown up together in that political climate in california. so they will always support each other publicly. he was lieutenant governor when she was a.g. he was mayor while she was

district attorney of san francisco. those two are sort of wedded professionally. here is why kamala is such a big problem for the democrat party, right? we know that voters don't like her. we know that polling reflects her abysmal performance as vice president, right. her approval rating is 15 points below where biden stood at this stage in obama's first term and 11 points behind mike pence under trump. reality is most people think that if biden were to endorse her, that she would secure the nomination. and it's unlikely that he would endorse anyone else, right, but every time polling shows that trump beats her. just last week, harvard released a latest poll that showed her nine points behind trump. so it seems sort of inevitable that she's the backup plan. but it also seems inevitable that she's a really terrible choice, and that might be why everyone is pushing for biden to stay alive. proverbially. >> harris: politically. >> kayleigh: politically, no

plans to solve inflation and don't have a backup plan. as john james said, get back to the issues. maybe that will help a little. just ahead, stacey abrams stands by her controversial comment that georgia is the worst state to live in. she blames republicans for her backlash.

done nothing to attack the challenges facing georgia. they've done nothing to articulate their plans for the future of georgia. their response to a comment on their record is to deflect and to pretend that they have done good for the people of georgia. we are number one in maternal mortality. number two in the number of uninsured. we are number six in infant mortality and number nine in gun violence. we are number 48 in provision of mental health services, and the challenge that i have is that the answer from republicans from our former senator to our current governor is to fight me instead of fighting the problem that are facing georgia. >> harris: kayleigh, that comment she made is problematic. on "the focus," we showed political different voters from independent, democrat, republican, every walk of life saying no way are they in the worst state. one moved from chicago. she said everything was more expensive in illinois. her life was in danger more often than it ever is where she lives now in georgia.

>> kayleigh: it turns out that people are proud of the state they live in and if you want to represent the state as the chief executive of that state, perhaps showing pride in that state and love for your state is the way to go. it's a really curious method, you know, we know that hillary clinton loves to insult trump voters and so does biden but don't always insult their own voters and in a way, she did just that. and she talks about this litany of things wrong with georgia. well, you don't hear her talk anymore about georgia being one of the best places to vote, you know. 17 early voting days. 300% increase in turnout in the early vote. you know, record turnout among black americans in georgia in the early vote. now at a certain point, you got to believe that the hyperbole you hear from stacey abrams and others is vicious lies. to quote a really good white house correspondent to work with on a personal level, if she goes on msnbc and turns into this

different commentator where she says things that republicans believe that black people don't deserve access to citizenship just because we support voting laws like in georgia that increased turnout? it's like joy bahar is sitting by you on the couch when you heard that lie that roe v. wade being overturned is going to lead to brown vs. board of education to be overturned. they're disproven and there's no accountability. >> harris: look, we have no doubt that however the races shake out, the primary season has been really tough in georgia. you had a candidate backed by trump and a candidate backed by pence. david purdue is trump's guy and the incumbent brian kemp is vice president pence's guy. so it's gotten really interesting by proxy there. but stacey abrams making that comment, emily, is problematic on so many levels. she's a democrat and a democrat president has us in economic hot water that we haven't seen in

some sectors in a generation. >> emily: it's like how you can say something bad about your sibling but if anything else says it, i'm going to draw a line in the sand right now, right? to hear someone who aims to be in that top most executive leadership position of a state absolutely trash it is the last thing that voters or residents want to hear. and interestingly, fox news digitally, i think you profiled it on your show, harris, interviewed a woman named brittany that just moved to georgia from chicago and she said exactly that. she said you know what i love about atlanta and georgia is there's a lot of black people supporting black people. she said chicago is more expensive and way more dangerous that live. she says what should i be supporting? do i care about my safety and my kids or do i care about a lot of issues that aren't any of my business? and to kayleigh's point, here we have again this candidate who is purporting to be representative of every resident of georgia who is blaming republicans for drafting a law that increased voter turnout by 300% and hit

record highs in minority populations and yet, that was supposed to be racist. so yes, those are lies. and they are absolutely unbecoming of the position she aims to hold. >> harris: look, she overreached. she didn't have to go there. she could have talked policy. she knows she's going to have to come up with the economics in her state potentially if she were to win that are going to be able to offset 40-year high inflation. like there's going to be a big job for whoever becomes governor and if she wants to become that state, it always helps you out by saying you need help for your state. not only so dismal that even you couldn't make a difference. that's a reason not to vote for her. i look at the politics of all of this and something that david purdue said, we got that queued. it's problematic for him. >> georgia is the worst place in the country to live. she ain't from here. let her go back to where she came from. she should never be considered material for a governor of any state much less our state where she hates to live. >> harris: john james, get into that for me, if you will, go

back to where she came from. >> john: yeah, statewide campaigns are difficult enough as they are. we don't need to hand our opponents things to beat us with. my friend david didn't do himself any favors by using racially charged rhetoric and things that can be taken out of context not to just make him look bad but republicans across the country. i believe republicans across the country have a better plan for how to make lives in their people's states and the districts better and not just attacking and dividing the way the democrats do. we have plans to give parental choice and school choice. we have plans to increase economic opportunity for everyone. we have plans to make sure that we secure our border. we have plans to make sure that we get back to work and we focus on making america, our districts and our state stronger. we have plenty to campaign on without bringing in extraneous things. we need to focus on the issues. and frankly, coming from

michigan, i believe that folks are seeing that states that are run by republican governors are run so much better. people are flocking from illinois. and california and new york to places like georgia and florida where there is opportunity. we need to preserve that, we need to protect that and not people that have better chance of running their lives than running successful organizations. we need experience. >> harris: kennedy, i want to get your thoughts as we watch four states in primaries today. i know georgia is one that we've spotlighted and focused on because you have some other big races. i'll bring up another run. herschel walker, football great vs. the incumbent there, rafael warnock, your thoughts? >> kennedy: herschel walker will probably win this primary but will have a tough time in the fall because of some of his misstatements that he has made in the past. he's a very likable person. he's a very notable person. there have been issues with his credibility talking about having graduated from --

>> harris: people like him, though. >> kennedy: they do like him. people like joe biden, too. a politician being likable isn't enough. you also have to have decisiveness and character. rafael warnock, i don't think he's a great senator but herschel walker has a harder time in the fall than he will in this primary. and, you know, it's just one of the many things that makes the state of georgia interesting in terms of its politics. and, you know, these are some own goals that politicians don't have to commit. stacey abrams is at the top of the list. but i would put david purdue up there, too. he had a failed senate campaign. people know him. they don't like him. he's not going to win his primary against kemp. and you know, this is why because he says stupid things and it's not hard to read the subtext there. >> harris: kayleigh, i want to come to you last. trump getting involved in this. pence getting involved in this. your quick final thoughts. >> kayleigh: yeah, you know, you'll have various people from the g.o.p. getting involved.

i think very highly of president trump, i think very highly of vice president pence. but one thing i've always said, i trust republican voters. they made an excellent choice when they made president trump the nominee of our party. i think they are the lone star going forward. i think they're very smart they don't take positions in primaries for a reason. let's let the voters decide. whoever they decide will be the winning candidate. >> harris: as emily showed us with all those numbers, they can decide in georgia. they can decide in georgia better than a lot of places. i believe delaware was on that list of states where it didn't have that early voting the way that georgia does. all right. we'll move on. thank you. still ahead, we're already knew about the mansions and private jets but we're now learning that black lives matter, the organization, gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a group whose leader called the police pigs. next. veterans. if you own your home, congratulations—

>> harris: no and just consider what some of the rhetoric has been putting that in the mix. we did have a precinct that was set on fire and the goal was to lock -- to chain the doors so people wouldn't get out. like that happened. we know of an officer who former president trump and you, kayleigh, recognized by the white house who was shot and killed as he was trying to protect property during the rioting that infiltrated poe protesting. so we know some of that was going on. and the fact that b.l.m., the organization, not the people in the streets who thought they were marching for a good cause. but again, you don't get much done at 3:00 a.m. so do the math on that. go home and march in the daytime. do what you like, i guess. then you got to mix it up with the rioters. because all of that was part of so toxic for them to give money to an org like this seems more than shortsighted. it seems almost deliberate. >> emily: it does. and patrisse cullors, former

head of the organization has thoughts about her handling of finances on msnbc. let's watch. >> it was a major shock. it was also a lot of oh, wait, i did not see that coming. you know, contrary to what, you know, has been reported, much of the funding that came in was from individual donors. that was a lot of white guilt money. a lot of white folks being like we just got to put the money. >> kayleigh: wow. >> wow indeed. that sounds like an organization with a strong moral compass. so here you go, you're basically taking people's good intentions, people who want to be allies and they want to understand the problems in this country that emanate from race and they want to heal society and want to make it better. they don't know how to do that. they are leaning on people like patrisse cullors and trusting

that she has good intentions and trusting her good will but the entire time, based on the public documents, the whole thing for her was a graft. so it's taking good intentions and the good intentions of the phrase black lives matter and completely bastardizing it. >> kayleigh: according to fox news digital, emily, about $4 million went to organizations that were run by individuals that were close to cullors. b.l.m. the way it was structured previously they didn't have to disclose their finances. this is the first time that we're getting light on the finances. wish we could have gotten it any sooner. >> emily: it's unfortunate that you have to prove your finances after you've been approved as a nonprofit rather than initially for that to take place. that's why this is all coming to light now but as my colleague said, these are just examples of the perversion of the good intentions, as kennedy said, of people trying to support what they deemed the cause of

african-american lives in this country mattering, right? and the problem is that the organization was focused, in part the problem, on just police brutality, their words, when 97%, 98% of african-americans who are killed in homicides are not at the hands of police. it's a greater number than that. people began to be shocked when they saw this hyperfocus on this small arena when why is there no attention being drawn to the 8 out of 10 young african-american males who comprise the homicide rates in chicago, for example, right? people argue, it's what aboutism, it's every life really matters and the conversation should include every life and this organization, i think, really -- it really brought to light that the leaders to quote dr. carol sween, had no interest in due process. had no interest in process whatsoever. they just wanted to create sort of these public trials, these media trials, right, and, unfortunately, to the tune of millions of dollars in

increments of like $20 of people trying to do the right thing and instead, it got absolutely hijacked. >> kayleigh: yeah, jason riley at "the wall street journal" says the b.l.m. has done more to harm communities of color and in part, fox digital is flushing out that argument. they told fox digital last month, the large increase of black lives being murdered is part of the defund the police movement. the number of deaths of black americans spiked by more than 32% in 2020 compared to 2019. and it's a phenomenon james comey recognized many years ago called the ferguson effect, they become more cautious when they're demonized in such a way. >> john: i'll make this short. at the opportunity that we had to address the socioeconomic disproportionate system that have been in democrat run cities all over the country, the b.l.m. organization had the opportunity to address how education had been hit. how black health had been hit.

how black businesses have been hit, and they chose to exploit this for their own greed and for their own objectives for their own goals. that was wrong. they should be investigated for corruption and racketeering. and they are laughing at people who suffered and they are not using their platform to do good. they're doing it because they were selfish and they should be held accountable. >> emily: quick final point in august of 2020 when this was at the height of the sensitivity of george floyd's death and the like, in august 2020, 81% of the african-american population wanted the same or more police presence. and only 19% wanted diminished police presence. so from the get go, this was a misguided organization that really did not reflect the values of americans especially in those minority communities. >> kayleigh: and the average donation, as you pointed out, $30. the people that gave this, that's who i feel bad for. coming up, it may be the priceiest place on earth if you're considering a family trip to disney world. you might want to think twice after crunching these numbers.

>> big day in the midterms for primaries in georgia, alabama, arkansas and minnesota. we're following voting in all

the big races with senator rick scott and bret baier. why did an f.b.i. memo say information about trump and russia came from the d.o.j. and not the clinton campaign? katie is here on that. and state farm insurance promoting books on transgenderism to kindergarteners. what's up with that? all of that plus what is the real deal with joe biden and energy? i'm john roberts, join us at the top of the hour for "america reports." >> harris: once upon the time the happiest place on earth was the great american getaway for middle class families. now price hikes may be putting a disney world vacation out of reach for a typical family of four. they now face a tab of more than $8,000 for a five-day stay. disney is also eliminating cost saving features like free shuttles from the airport and free parking for those staying on property.

take a look at how it all added up for one family of four from new jersey. no, it wasn't me. between transportation, lodging, food, park hopper passes that let you go from one section to another and, of course, souvenirs, $8,480. kennedy? >> kennedy: that's a lot of cash. i know a lot of parents will be taking their kids camping this summer and they're going to get there by donkey. it's going to be a wonderful time instead of riding the rides, we'll ride burrows. >> john: actually, a donkey is a big reason why the prices are that high. the white house have control of both chambers of the legislature. i mean, these are the type of policies that you get out of a donkey, right? you know, i would just say that disney world is probably the second most expensive place on earth. second to the gas pump. let's see what we can do to change that. >> harris: i'm looking for the easter bunny there. i don't see him.

the president's spokesperson these days. kayleigh? >> kayleigh: he could use a mickey mouse instead of that easter bunny. it's crazy to me not just the price but i grew up right by disney world, 45 minutes to an hour outside. i got to go to the magic kingdom a lot growing up. i loved it. splash mountain right there or thunder mountain, i loved it. sad to me, it's inaccessible right now. $9,000 is a lot of money. you consider what they've done politically saying we should teach kindergarteners about sex by opposing their bill. it's no longer the magic kingdom. you feel like you're walking into the lion's den of leftism. speaking as a parent who has a daughter who loves minnie mouse, i think i will some time, the wounds are a little too raw. >> emily: a churro for $6.39? no thank you. definitely killing the magic, disney. keep the prices low. >> harris: they are delicious. >> emily: aren't they? >> harris: lunchtime here on the
