hell think, andstair -- healthy, and they're still there. [laughter] pete: yeah, look at that. rachel: all three. pete: i haven't eaten a banana many in ten years. will: i ate one four minutes ago. rachel: good for you. pete: they're still good though -- rachel: no, i'm going to attack those bananas. will: i have contended and introduced a massive debate on the office floor around jesse watters' prime time, and i think bananas are the number one fruit. i think they are easy, portable, thank you, dave, a lot of i appeal, not messy. i would rank bananas one. rachel: i think they are just like the egg, the perfect -- egg is the perfect to protein, that 's the perfect fruit. will: i defy you, pete, to come up with a fruit that beats the banana. pete: if i can come up with five other fruits that have actual taste. they're bland as all get out.

give me raspberries, strawberries, apples -- rachel: apple better than a baa man that -- banana? pete: green apples? awe awesome. i have questions about guys that are sitting around mowing a lot of baa nas that -- baa bananas -- [laughter] rachel: a lot of nutrition -- will: i don't want to defame forbes but i will give you: the bananas in our break room aren't the most flavorful that you come across. i think you can get a range of banana flavor. banana in a smoothie, key. pete: it's the one thing i always keep out of my smoothies, bananas. i want no banana flavor at all. rachel: but he'll eat mac and cheese ice cream. [laughter] will: in your transition to a southerner, you are going of the

understand the value of banana pudding with nihla wafers concern. pete: how many people are out in the field housing a baa man ma? not many. will: i am 100% right, and to you do that the, that'll be the closest you have become to being southern. rachel: is this like a southern concern. pete: oh, i can't win that. rachel: did you notice how he said banana butting and nilla wafers? [laughter] pete: there's the e-mail. friends@foxnews.com, when amaras turned on -- cameras turned on, we had no idea this would be a 4-minute topic -- [laughter] if you love bananas, is it merely functional? will's giving nutritional and functional reasons, or is it about taste for you? rachel: or is it a regional, southern thing -- will: or because it hit the cycle. rachel: or would you rather we go back to talking about hunter

biden and not bananas? if. will: how about we start with this, house judiciary republicans are set to hold a field hearing on violent crime in new york city tomorrow. rachel: that's right. and several key witnesses who have been directly impacted by crime are going to testify. pete: mark meredith is live in washington with more. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. i need a banana, it looks like. at least six people are set to the testify at tomorrow's hearing, house lawmakers set to examine new york city's crime data and how d.a. alvin bragg has been handling some of the cases. the9 latest nypd data shows rapes and rob rays are down this concern robberies are down, but felony assault and vehicle thefts are on the rise. 100 people have been murdered in new york city so far this year, roughly a 10% drop compared to this time last year. house republicans accuse d.a. bragg of being soft on crime while also launching political attacks against former president trump.

bragg calling tomorrow's hearing a political stunt. lawmakers will highlight an incident from last july when 61-year-old jose alba was charged with murder after he stabbed a man in self-defense. you see mt. surveillance video it shows the bow bodega clerk was reacting after the 35-year-old approached him after the counter. the charges were later dropped following widespread outcry. the new york post reports he has movedded out of the country since the incident. lawmakers are also going to the hear from a city council member and other advocates who believe changes to the bail laws may have left the city less safe. >> politics is the thing that messed this all up. there is no elected official many if office right now that is fit on the dogcatcher. they need to put that garbage bail reform law and all its moving parts through the shredder. >> reporter: congressman jerry nadler who is ranking member of the committee says we will talk about how this whole hearing is

part of jim jordan and the republicans' attack on d.a. alvin bragg. democrats expected to highlight crimes in other cities being led by republicans, the hearing take place at the javits federal with building many lower man hat a taan. back to you guys. will: thank you, mark. how about the? i think it possibly will come as no surprise, but not only is crime a problem, but recidivist crime's a problem. the same dudes committing same crimes over and over. the nypd says nearly a third of all the shoplifting arrests in new york city involved 327 people. rachel: and new york isn't unique to this. when sean was a d.a. in a little town in northern wisconsin, he would tell you it's the same 12 guys that keep going through, you know?

it's just unbelievable that you would not ache care of the 327 the -- take care of the 327 people, put them in jail to the make life better for millions of people here in new york city. pete: unless you can't, unless you pass laws that says you can't or you create an environment where you are won't, where security officers certainly aren't going to do anything, and cops are overwhelmed with what they would deem on the much bigger problems, or they're too busy investigating trump so they're not actually able to do that job. 327 people arrested and rearrested more than 6,000 times. rachel: it's such an unbelievable piece of data there. pete: i mean -- will: it also shows they largely victimize the same stores over and over. so it's the largely -- pete: here it comes again. will: coming into the same store, probably stealing same brand of toothpaste over and over again to go -- and i heard them talking about this on "the

five," what isn't appreciatedded enough is this isn't someone with stealing toothpaste because they need to brush their teeth, it's so they can sell it on a street corner down the way or on amazon. pete: right. this is not, you know, i need to feed my kids. i was at a cvs yesterday on 40th seat, i needed deodorant. i had to push a button, and it said help needed in the deodorant aisle, i had to wait two minutes, had to push the button again. rachel: i'm glad you got it. pete: i got the deodorant -- [laughter] everything's locked up. rachel: everything is. i stayed the night in the city because my daughter has an event, whatever, i had my girls with me. as we're walking through the city, my daughter says why does everything smell like pee here? i was, like, well, it's new york. and later i heard her on the phone with her dad, she said,

mommy gave money to a guy on druggings. this is the experience of being in new york. here are some new yorkers crossing to lawrence jones about the state of this city. >> -- changing, they're stealing left and right, and it's dangers when you walk out at night. that's why i want to leave. >>st the changing. new york is cone. it's just horrible. you look around here, there's this -- and the night life is horrible. it's just bad. >> why wouldn't you retire in new york? >> because new york is nuts. >> i grew up in brooklyn. i love city. it's not what it used to be, and we're looking to possibly move further upstate. >> problem is that this is the greatest city that exists, but nothing gets cone. goal done. rachel: it's hard or to feel sorry for new yorkers sometimes the, just like people in chicago, they voted in someone who was actually -- if it was

even possible -- worse than that lori lightfoot. at some point you're just, like, you get what you deserve. pete: you've got one-party rule, that party's decided to get even more crazy. they're losing tax base. and is you mentioned going to westchester, that's in the connecticut, right? will: no, it's new york. pete: is it? it sounds like a connecticut -- rachel: that's the leafy area where aoc is actually from, the nice neighborhood, west west chester -- pete: you go noter west instead of northeast, right? the geography. st the new york city area which brings us to our next story, and i was thinking connecticut because our next story is from there. we don't know precisely where -- will: hartford. pete: what we don't know is who the homeowner is right now. car theft is a huge issue in this area and other metropolitan areas across the country. a lot of times underage, teenage

gangs because they, again, when they get arrested, they get let go because they're under 18, so the gangs use young kids to do it. happened in my neighborhood in new jersey when i lived there, and now it's happened in connecticut. and in this case, watch the video. this homeowner realizes his car's being stolen, springs into action and a lot more happens. watch. [bleep] [inaudible conversations] [bleep] [background sounds]

[inaudible conversations] [bleep] >> i i called the cops! will: yeah, he's holding on to her right at the end. pete: wow. you know what's staggering about that? first, or middle of the day. rachel: yes. pete: and the guy -- the thief fights back with. and his friends come to fight back. and i presume that's a girlfriend or wife or somebody yelling i'm calling the cops at which point they finally took off. rachel: you know, i love that this guy was fighting for his property. i mean, that's what we all should cotheoretically, but i don't know, any of these kids could have had a gun or knife. i'm looking at that car, maybe not worth it. i mean, i get the i instinct, but i just -- it could have ended really bad. pete: well, this is a mercedes. rachel: is it? pete: that's what it said in the

article. will: looks like an infiniti to me. i tell you, the gun thing you bring up goes both ways. those kids are lucky they're alive. rachel: that's true too. will: i mean, i'm not -- that probably wouldn't go down the same way at my house. rachel: yeah, yeah, yeah. no, i get ya, i got ya. pete: the brazen nature. still have not been caught, by the way. will: turning to a few additional headlines, at least 2 people are killed and 4 hurt after shots were toured into a crowd in louisville, kentucky, last night where hundreds of people were gathered. two victims were killed at park and four others including one in critical condition were rushed to the hospital. authorities have not released information on any if suspects. evan gershkovich, "the wall street journal" reporter who's being held in a russian prison, has contacted his a family. he sent a brief, 2-page note

that says in part, i want to say that i'm not losing hope. i read, i exercise and i'm trying to write. maybe finally i'm going to the write something good. he was arrested last month on espionage charges9 which the u.s. government and the "wall street journal" both deny. and now to day one of the usfl, the philadelphia stars falling to memphis showboats, first game back in almost 40 years. that didn't stop rhode island chard davis from making this historic play. >> down the sideline, he's got davis! into the end zone, the showboats' first touchdown since the mid '80s! will: and the birmingham stallions open their season with a 27-10 win over the new jersey stars. those are your headlines. pete: cool. will: all right. coming up later in the show,

we're going to be the talking about this topic all morning long, a.i. we have a series that will span the four hours of our shows on how it impacts death, war, crime, energy and life. we're going to be going into many areas of it, but here's one area that i don't know, every time we look up, there's a new place where you're going, wow, a.i.'s going to change things. how about this, let me introduce you to fake a.i. joe rogan. >> not the real joe rogan. let me repeat it once more. i am not joe rogan, and the guests are not people hay portray. this is purely fiction just for fun, so don't go around making little clicks for tiktok and make the world believe i said things i never said. will: the picture's not -- rachel: it's not the best picture. will: but the voice? pete: the voice is spot on. rachel: it's interesting, if you say something that is, could get you in trouble, maybe you could say, it wasn't me, it's a.i.

pete: that that's the new universe, for sure. it's no longer i was hacked. it is a get out of jail free card. i did not write that, that was not my voice -- rachel: yeah. do you remember when joy reid, they found all those old e-mails or whatever, they were like anti-gay kind of stuff and she was, like, it wasn't me, i was hacked? this is new version of that, i guess. pete: and it, again, we already live in this society where you can barely trust anything, ask now stuff like that. will: the real joe rogan tweeted, this is going to get very slippery, kids. rachel: yeah, very true. pete: all right. we've got more, three hours -- 3 hours and 43 minutes left. still ahead, sacrificing employees to cater to the wok. the growing list of companies shedding jobs while donating millions to activist --

>> translator: there is a lot of disintuation of families, there is a lot of individualism, there is a lack of love, of brotherhood, of hugs and embrace. that is why they should be dedicating funds to address the causes. rachel: mexican president lopez obrador made waves last month after blaming america's fentanyl crisis on the decline of the american family despite being a member of a leftist party. he doesn't shy away from discussing the importance of traditional values. in a new op-ed, it breaks down how it's possible for leaders to be both liberal and socially conservative, and he joins us now. so, first of all, this article blew me away. so, first, let's just explain, how can you be a leftist without being a progressive? >> yeah. well, president trump described anlo, as he's known, as a

socialist but the kind of socialist i like. and as usual, he captured it in one line. rachel: yes, he did. >> he's a leftist in the sense that he thinks government should take care of working people, protect them from the ravages of the market which are very real, supports unions, higher minimum wages and so forth, but he's not a cultural progressive. so how often have you heard progressives here talk about the importance of social, of families and family values -- rachel: never. here, not here in the -- >> they don't talk about that stuff. or he talks about, for example, the carriage that feminism -- the danger that that feminism represents to what he calls the most important social security institution many mexico, namely the natural family. so he goes up against a lot of things that are sacred cows for the wider progressive movement. rachel: yeah. >> many latin america there's

this possibility of this combination of being relatively on the left on economic issues but culturally conservative, and anlo, president lopez own rah corps, represents that. rachel: yeah, it's super fascinating. for example, when he says the social security net, yes, government can be a protection against the ravages of capitalism, but so can families. when a priest asked me how many kids i have, at time i had 8, and he said mexican social security. it was a mexican priest. st better than a stranger in a nursing home take care of you, how do you protect the family so that the family can take care of each other. so what's the lesson for america? i know i'm going through my own philosophical realignment where i'm going, not what's right for taxes and small government, but what's right for families. >> correct. a lot of the people who voted for president trump in 2016 fit that same electoral profile. they don't want social security

cut, but hay also think, you know, men are men, women are women, hay believe in a kind of cultural conservativism. and that kind of quadrant of our politics is massively underserved. president trump served it the best he could, but there aren't many other options like that. but it's a very powerful course because working class people, they might be, again, in support of private economy unions, today might be in support of social security, but they also don't want the full spectrum progressive agenda with the trans and that and that -- this and that that. they see that as somewhat of a threat. rachel: i don't want to the sugar coat amlo, because i think he's in bed with the cartels, but he's also taking on genetic food engineering, i don't want genetic corn being pushed into mexico. he's banning that. he's taking on a lot of issues that i think on the left and right i don't see anybody doing. so is there a politician in your mind in america right now whether democrat or republican who has cone somewhat of a job of mixing this? >> i think the closest i have to

say was president trump. right? in other words, taking on, for example, free trade which was a conservative orthodoxy, we were all for free trade, he's like, hey, it actually hasn't worked out for union guys in michigan or in the upper midwest. rachel: yeah. i think josh hawley a little bi- >> absolutely. i would say senator rubio is kind of on similar notes. so it's out there. by the way, anlo's very anti-green. rachel: yeah, exactly. >> renewables competition because he wants what he calls energy sovereignty -- rachel: yeah. just like china. it's a fascinating topic. if you haven't seen the article, it's in compact, which is a great web site if you haven't subscribed or seen it. thank you for bringing this forward. i think we all need new ways of thinking. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: all right. sill ahead -- still ahead, our rise of a.i. series continues this morning. how art artificial intelligence

♪ what a wonderful world. ♪ ask your doctor about once-daily trelegy for asthma - because breathing should be beautiful. pete: we're diving into a.i. the rise of a.i. hitting nearly every aspect of our daily lives including our jobs, social media feeds and even our health care. but a new study from pew research found almost two-thirds of americans would be uncomfortable with the idea of doctors relying on a.i. for their medical recent thement curt the cyber guy joins us now to react to all other things a.i. as well. i mean, what about fact that the a computer a.i. could pull on all the medical research on the planet to give you a diagnosis. is it -- i mean -- i don't think i would trust that either, but why copeople feel that way? >> good morning, pete. well, we can check that one in the pro category, but you could put in the con category a.i.

replacing, for example, a radiologist who's scanning images of your body and then the machine is the one doing the work and not doctor. replacing the doctor with that. that's bad category. only 39% of those who were surveyed said they would be comfortable with a majority of a.i. decreasing medical mistakes. so, i mean, there's some benefit to here, be but at the same time are we about to make doctors complete idiots by doing the work for them and are machine thinking that can do the work? i don't know that we're quite there yet in terms of knowing what is going to happen in our medical area and our health care. but believe me, it's coming. pete: yeah, or that's right. i don't want the doctor looking up on the iphone what are symptomses for this. there's things they should reflexively know because they got all rain thering for many, many years, know a lot more than me s and that's why i'm coming to them and not just googling.

>> true. and even worse would be the doctor not even giving it a thought and letting the a.i. decipher what might be going on with you after you input your symptoms. pete: correct. all right, here's another one, an arizona mother says that an a.i. phone scam faked her daughter's kidnapping. curt, what happened here? >> this is outrageous. she received a call from an unknown number with an a.i. voice mihm mimicking her daughter's voice saying that she was being held against her will and that she needed to the pay a ransom. well, obviously, this turned out to be a complete a.i. fake, and it's one we are just now starting to see where a.i. is so good at voice cloning that, i mean, you saw from joe rogan, i mean, you just concern all it takes is a little clip of your voice to create a new piece out in the world that is very

convincing. we're about to see a rise of all of this in a way that is going to start scamming us in ways we've never if even cent of. so, i mean -- even dreamt of. this is now a reality. i hate to say this but, you know, don't answer an unknown number anymore, remove any personal voicemail greetings you have on your phone. i know that sounds extreme, but that's a place they can get a copy of your voice. and, of course, avoid posting videos online to the general public. and narrow that down to your friends or just those you want to share it with. pete: all right. so you and i are in trouble, that's a fact on that one. >> yeah. if you work in tv, you work in radio, you work in broadcasting, you're in big trouble. pete: but in this case, the scammer was asking for a million bucks. the mom on the phone panicked negotiated it down to 50,000, and over that time was able to find out her daughter was just fine, just with out with another family. it's staggering --

>> right. so buying some time in that process worked. so one of those other triggers to keep aware of when you get scammed east over the phone or anything that comes at you on electronic media that seems so urgent that you have to resolve it right then, let that serve as a red flag. pete: for sure. it's no longer the e-mails we used to get from i think it was nigerian princesesome now it's something far more personal. last one here, curt. a.i. chat bots are giving tax scammers a boost. how is this happening with taxes? >> same thing. so you talk about scammers in knew nigeria and other foreign nations, well, hay don't have aer if next -- they don't have a perfection of the english language, but chatgpt is giving them gloriously, perfect american english in the way that they sound now in their scams very, very realistic. so those little trigger words that we used to have where it sounded like that's just a little off --

pete: yep. >> -- well, that's going away. it's a smooth scam coming right at you. the ftc said consumers with regard to scams that are happening, now in 2022, up $8.8 billion, and that's $2 billion more than just the year before. this is a massive, massive problem. it comes right back down to my advice, lock up your tech. fact is, you've got to have strong anti-virus protection on all your devices, and that is a way to stay protected. pete: curt, on e-mail is it still true one of the best things you can do is check the incoming e-mail address? if they say, hey, you're getting e-mail from chase bank and the e-mail is -- whatever, then you know it's a scam? >> yeah, one little letter might be off, the bottom line is never reply to to it, reach out to chase yourself. open up your with own chase app. go to chase by typing it in on the computer or on your device,

not by linking from any warning that comes your way. pete: a.i. is giving you job security, crumpt. this is going to be a mess, and we're going to need you to break it down. you can get alerts as they happen when you sign up for the free cyber guy newsletter, his tech reports are also on fox news live. curt, thanks for being here. >> thank you, pete. good to see you. pete: good to see you. coming up, many organizations have given millions to activist groups, left-wing activist griewrntion at the same time they cut dividends and lay off employees. great business model. the growing list of companies catering to the woke left. plus, we have got a perfect story for a sunday. the special new beginning for a cross-shaped pier once destroy by superstorm sandy. ♪

the time. we go to corporations and we kind of try to fix this nonsense on a cultural level. you can find out more information on our web site, color us united.org. will: yeah, appreciate that. you know what, it occurred to me, christian, you're talking about this massive figure, you know, given out of either guilt or fear, whatever motivation was sought by the company. is this not what is asked for went we talk about people requesting reparations or organizations requesting reparations? in a way, that just happened in america. >> it's same kind of very twisted logic, this in all honesty. reparations simply says that you can hold an entire group guilty for what people who look like them did hundreds of years ago. it's racial collective guilt that really america is in full rejection of. america is a rejection of it and more an affirmation of the fundamental goodness of the individual and his free come and his rights.

we really have to the assert that back over this cultural illness before it consumes us and ends up ravaging our bodies. will: and i would suggest just like reparations, it's easy to see who concern when you quantify things collectively, it's easy to see who's hurt. in this case it's shareholders and employees who lost their jobs. st the hard to see who benefits. where did that money go? who's big beneficiary of this massive expenditure by corporate america? christian, thank you so much for joining us this morning to discuss. >> thank you. will: all right. pete, over to you. pete: great stuff. thanks, will. turning now to your headlines starting with this, sudanese officials say at least 56 people were killed and nearly 600 were injured as the country fights against ap an attempt thed coup. government fighter jets firing missiles over sudan's capital yesterday. the fighting capped off months of tension between the sudanese government and the rapid support forces group sparking fierce of broader conflict. the u.s. ambassador to sudan

forced to take shelter as fighting broke out yesterday. and the united states coast guard is searching for three americans who went missing on a sailing voyage from mexico almost two weeks ago. the trio was last heard if from on theth -- 4 of april. officials say the group is traveling on this ship, if we drop the banner, you can see it. there it is. the sailors were supposed to stop in cabo san lucas, but there is no record of them ever making it there. case is still under investigation. hope they're all righted. -- all right. at least 40 million americans are under fire alerts after record-breaking temperatures caused a rare outbreak of wildfires from the midwest to the east coast. a wildfire in new jersey earlier this week burned through nearly 1,000 acres of land. and in the midwest, 50 million people are under severe weather alert. whoa, look at that.

some places already experiencing hail the size of golf balls. as more extreme weather is expected. now let's turn to the chief, chief meteorologist rick reichmuth, our fox weather forecaster. how you doing? rick: that hail would hurt. pete: yeah, it would. rick: that would do some damage to crops, cars or, all that stuff. fires across -- we've had a lot of fires across parts of the high plains. this is november of last year where the drought was, and what this black line was, that's the mississippi river watershed. basically, any water or rain that falls in that area drains eventually out i through the mississippi river. we've had a lot of moisture in some spots of the country. eastern part of this watershed, parts of the northern plains, but where we did not get any moisture really this winter or significant moisture was right along the high plains, western kansas, western oklahoma, western, the, and so that drought continues there, and that makes the fire threat

continue with us for the next number of months likely. here's your temp thing -- temps, we got really warm this week, and and we have a prolot of snow on the ground, or at least we had a lot of snow on the ground. these are snow departures from average. bismarck, north dakota, 51 more inches than in a normal year. minneapolis, about 40 inches. just a week ago, this was our snow depth, a lot of spots, 2-3 feet. that snow rapidly melted, and that's causing flooding that we're going to be watching over the next number of weeks. all right, pete. pete: nicely done, rick. will was standing right next to you rifted -- will: i was, i want to know about the drought in west texas. pete: he's not now, but he was of, like, 8 feet from from you. rick: trust me, i feel it.

rachel: one jersey shore own is looking to conclude off summer in good faith.

will: ocean grove celebrating the grand reopening of its new cross-shapeed pier which was rebuilt after the original was destroyed in superstorm sandy. pete: ocean grove associate president michael badgett joins us now. thanks so much for being here. >> hanks for having me. -- g thanks for having me. pete: tell us about ocean grove. >> 153 years ago the state legislature of new jersey allowed us to buy the land and incorporated us as a christian seaside resort. so in new jersey law we are a christian seaside resort. pete: and so when that pier was destroyed, was this concern when did the idea of replacing it with a cross come about? >> service the organic. we were moving along with a straight pier again, and we were just thinking about, hey, how can we make this better, what's the best pier we can possibly make. and, you know, i have an engineering background, we're like, hey it'd be more stable is, there'd be more views, hey, this is a cross --

[laughter] rachel: and withstand the storm, i mean, there's just so much symbolism in this. what has been the reaction? >> so probably 80 to 1 is super positive. we had a ribbon cutting yesterday, we allowed everybody out, and there's just smiles ear to ear. but there is a small minority that happens to be very vocal. ray what is hair complaint? >> that it is a cross. s the not about the structure, it's not about the fact that we own the land or that we paid for it without any government money, it's that they don't want a religious symbol in plain view. they would say that the government should be in control of all external land, so they're, like, hey, that's over the water. does that the imply government endorsement of religion? not at all. we own the land, we got the permits, it's a good design. we're allowed to have this. will: you were telling us before this conversation began that what you wanted people to know about ocean grove is that you're welcoming all rebigses, but that

doesn't -- religions, but that doesn't have to stay behind closed doors. >> absolutely. there was a dialogue i had with one of the people that were complaining, and they said we want you to take the cross off your beach, off your beach badge, and we don't ever want to see it. we can't do that. it's not who we are. we need to be able to mountain our identity as christians -- maintain the our identity as christians -- rachel: it's not american. in china they do religion underground. we don't have to do that in america. >> exactly. so when you go out on the pier, you don't have to pay anything, you don't have to the say a prayer, you don't have to belong to a church. you get to be who you are whether it's a cross for you or some other symbol, you just enjoy waves, the ocean, and i'm hoping that you'll come closer to god in the process. pete: well, new jersey has beautiful beaches. i have a feeling you might have a few more people -- rachel: i know i'm going to go. pete: great stuff. >> please visit us. rachel: we will. i didn't know there was a

christian community like that, so i'm definitely going to come out. will: thank you, sir. still ahead, we often the effect a.i. will have on society, but what about the effect it has on our environment? impact on our water supply in the if next hour. ♪ weeds... they have you surrounded. take your lawn back with scotts turf builder triple action! gets three jobs done at once - kills weeds. prevents crabgrass. and keeps it growing strong. get a bag of scotts triple action today, it's guaranteed. feed your lawn. feed it. i got tai last december. i've spent almost every minute with her since. when i first brought her home, she was eating little brown pieces in a bag and it was just what kind of came recommended.
