special night on friday. you, me, peter. >> dana: maria and her friend >> bill: they gave us a tour of a lifetime at the metropolitan museum of art. his theme is god through art and he took us through for 3 1/2 hours. it was something else. >> dana: it was so generous and filled our hearts and minds and we thank you for that. good to be with you. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: let's beginning with the breaking news this hour. house republicans taking action, doing all of the things on capitol hill that are necessary to get the nation back on track particularly when it comes to high crime. they are on the road today in new york city taking on manhattan's liberal district attorney alvin bragg over what they call his pro-crime, anti-victim policies. i'm harris faulkner. you are in "the faulkner focus." the house judiciary committee

victims of violent crime in manhattan field hearing is still happening. it started about two hours ago and ongoing with many witnesses now stepping up and telling the horrifying stories of both the crime that they've experienced in the city but also the shut-out that they've experienced by alvin bragg's office. lawmakers there directly hearing from victims impacted. a bodega worker charged with murder for defending himself. a friend of his had to step in for him today because jose alba fears for retaliation if he speaks up. his mom, whose son was murdered, also on the list -- the next person is madeleine, her son, a military veteran, a victim's right advocate and more heart rending stories of pain and suffering across the board. those are a few of the people speaking today. the chairman of the judiciary,

jim jordan. >> our waft necessarys today have felt the effects of crime up close and personal. they've been victimized by a justice system that cares more about political correctness than punishing the criminals who harm them and their family. in manhattan the scales of justice are weighed down by politics. for the district attorney justice is about looking for opportunities to advance a radical political agenda. rather than enforcing the law. >> harris: democrats are calling it all theater. >> i think the highest level of hypocrisy. we know cities all across america are dealing with the issues around public safety, particularly the criminal justice system. coming here and highlighting d.a. bragg is a political stunt. >> harris: it is not surprising to hear that from eric adams. this is the same leader in the city who said that all of the crimes that we continue to

experience here is a perception of crime. that there is no reality to it. people don't count murder numbers and call them fiction. d.a. bragg's office echoing the mayor's sentiments. some democrats say it's retaliation for bragg's recent indictment of former president donald trump. bryan llenas is live outside the hearing in new york city. some of the stories, madeleine's story was heart jarring to hear her talk about also what hasn't been done. >> madeleine brame says two people who killed her son were sentenced to life if prison but two others who have not. she was very frustrated in there today. eight witnesses testified in front of the republican-led house judiciary commissioner by a partisan group inside there today. the victims of crimes say manhattan d.a. alvin bragg has

failed them trying to prioritize fairness for the criminals instead. look at the stats. in 2022 more than half of the felony cases were downgraded to misdemeanors. bragg has only successfully convicted or won half of the major felony cases. that's a drop from his predecessor. today we heard from frustrated people that were frustrated with bragg about being too lenient. a spokesperson for jose alba, bodega owner charged which bragg with second degree murder for a moment for defending himself during an attack on his shop. we also heard from barry bore gann who was beaten in broad daylight in an anti-semitic attack and madeleine whose son was murdered. >> it emboldened him to act. i have been in three court hearings and nothing has happened in lower manhattan. it is very disheartening.

>> the next time an innocent man does nothing but protect themselves from a violent attack, they should not be made the villain but instead treated with care and compassion as the victim. >> we don't give a damn about your politics. we don't care. it could be the man from the moon who is running for president, okay? as long as whoever is in there is standing for law and order. >> democrats in that room are accusing republicans of orchestrating a political stunt meant to intim dat bragg because he is prosecuting president trump. per capita major crimes in new york city have dropped this year. on average the city is safer than other republican jurisdictions nationwide. >> let's talk specifically about violent crime. based on your review of crime data does new york have a higher or lower rate of violent crime than florida? >> lower. >> what about louisiana?

zblo lower. >> kentucky >> lower. >> arizona >> lower. >> north carolina? >> lower. >> new yorkers will tell you in 2022 the stats don't lie. new york city saw an overall jump in crime by 22% and the most felony cases that they've seen in the city in 16 years. another alarming stat 327 people were respondible for a third of the shoplifting cases in this city. those 327 people were arrested and rearrested some 6,000 times. harris. >> harris: 6,000 times. can you imagine being a law officer and having to arrest the same person or people 6,000 times? being part of that law team? that is debilitating and frustrating beyond words. i see movement behind you. i know all the statements have happened. they're in a q & a session. we'll go back to that hearing as we hear from more victims.

great reporting. a little bit later i want to keep this in focus. i don't know if you'll remember, but the man on the right of your screen ran for governor and did really well as a republican for the first time in a very long time in this state. he didn't win but what he did do was show us close up what the crime was like because it happened to him. his young teenage girls home doing their homework when shots rang out a few feet from them outside their house. we'll get into it with former new york congressman lee zeldin who will be in "focus" with me. now to what's becoming a relatively new crisis for the biden administration. reaction is still fast and very furious over that embarrassing and dangerously damaging pentagon document leak. it was huge. republicans demanding to know how the young suspect could have possibly had that kind of

highest level access? >> i am stunned that somebody at that level could have so much access. how did he get it and why did he do it? some people need to be fired over this. >> the access he was having to this information should have been cut off. he should have never been having this level to classified information. >> harris: fired in the federal government? how often do you hear those words together. house speaker kevin mccarthy tweeted this. biden administration was sleep at the switch. kirsten gillibrand responding to that. >> you are on the intelligence committee. is this a failure of the biden administration? >> we'll do a full investigation. the intelligence committee will have a thorough investigation. i have a lot of questions about why were these documents lying around? why did this particular person have access to them? where was the custody of the documents and who were they for? important questions we can ask

to have stronger oversight. >> harris: or go after whoever let this happen. in "focus" now republican congressman mike waltz of the great state of florida member of the armed services and intelligence committees and a former green beret. thank you for your service top to bottom. first of all let's talk about need to know. did this young person have a need to know? >> i haven't received a full briefings yet but i can't imagine, harris. a 21-year-old i.t. specialist in the guard and that's not to say the national guard doesn't always need access to classified information. they do. a difference in someone who can work on machines and then having access to curated products for the most senior leaders in our government, many of which apparently according to what's out there referenced classified code word programs. let me just make one other

comment. the president shrugged his shoulders while in ireland saying well there wasn't that much out there that was contemporaneous. that's a common misunderstanding that i pray he doesn't have. it's not the information. for example, you know, if you have a report that chairman xi of china wears red t-shirts on tuesday. it may not seem that important. there may be only one source in the world or only way that we know that that will be compromised, closed off so we no longer have access to the information and someone may die. the access and placement whether with our allies or also with our adversaries that why this was so damaging and we need to hear that from the president, not just a shoulder shrug as he moves on to drink more beer in ireland. >> harris: it was a cheap way of him saying there is nothing that can touch us now. not anything we have going on

now. that's an abject misunderstanding as you gave us a firm example. intelligence the identified around the world. our enemies and allies know we look at them. maybe one person between us and that information and other country and now that person is identified because someone who didn't need to know and should not have shared has done so. >> and he is not a whistleblower, not a hero. he was an idiot and im mature but the damage that it appears he has caused is very real. >> harris: one other thing when the president says there are no -- it is not consequential. there has to be consequences. they will adjudicate this young man. what happened to the people who let it happen? chain of command. >> right.

that's another question that i have is what type of training did he get? if he received all the appropriate training, yet still did this, then that was some type of malicious intent and deserves to have the book thrown at him. my sense it was an im mature kid trying in impress friends in the middle of covid from what we know. the damage is still very real and there needs to be consequences, including for this chain of command if there weren't appropriate safeguards in place and not properly trained. >> harris: are the higher ups giving other people access as you and i speak in it is not like it is a habit to break. it was part of the culture. >> we haven't learned our lessons from snowden, from chelsea manning. >> bill: from joe biden. i'm not kidding. >> we spend billions on massive security protocols yet the hoops

you have to jump through to get a clearance. once you are on the inside having this kind of unfettered access is irresponsible and we'll investigate that from our committee. >> harris: we know because of the documents found in a professional easter egg hunt going after biden's stuff. 1800 documents at the university of delaware. we know that he potentially took them as a senator outside a scif. we could go on and on about this. is this administration sensitive enough to understand what's happened? that when you come back to "focus." so good to see you. thank you. >> thank you. >> harris: democrats are bitterly divided over calls for senator dianne feinstein to retire. the party's infighting is getting more ugly each day that passes. enthusiasm for another biden white house run looks to be going rather flat among those in his party. >> every time he is geared up to

make an announcement something terrible happens and approval ratings go down. he is at a bad place. >> harris: the president's numbers are dismal. he gets prickly with reporters over 2024. he is so cranky. we'll show you. pollster lee carter in "focus" next. ♪ veteran homeowners, want to lower your monthly payments and get cash? with a home loan from newday, take out an average of $70,000, pay off debts and high rate credit cards, and save hundreds every month. if lawn care were easy, everyone would do it... as well as trugreen does it. trugreen's online tools help ensure your custom treatment works to deliver a greener, healthier lawn - guaranteed. it's time to trust your experts at trugreen. go online today! when it comes to reducing sugar in your family's diet,

>> harris: oh, president biden needs a nap. he got pretty testy with reporters before he left ireland on his big trip. one of those reporters had asked him about his 2024 plans. >> do you know whether the last

few days has changed your call can you laws when you make an announcement on your plans? >> no, no, no, i've already made decision. >> you've made a decision? >> i told i my plan is to run again. >> harris: i told you. former speaker of the house republican newt gingrich not a fan of the biden presidency but the office gives him a lot of electoral clout. >> when you are a very weak president who doesn't understand the requirements of real strength and that we have real enemies, and the world begins to realize that the united states is very unreliable. presidents have enormous power. it is you have to to take out an incumbent president inside his own party. >> harris: a polling organization showing voters give him about 43% job approval. nine points lower than his

disapproval rating. his approval only one point higher than donald trump in miss presidency and it gets worse for independents. 2/3 of independents disapprove of the job that president biden is currently doing. worse a pew poll that combines democrats and left wing independents finds that biden's disapproval at 67%. you don't do great even when you put everybody together. lee foster great to see you. i miss election night because we had a good time with the live audience. what do you make of this? >> big trouble for president biden. his numbers are really poor with people you expect him to be strong and solid with. when you look at independents. he carried them in the election and part of the reason why he won. he is losing them by huge

numbers. suburban women he has lost by 17 points since election and won them by 2 to 10 points depending on the state. in large part having to do with economy and inflation. promised things would get better and they haven't. when you talk to americans about 2/3 of americans say they're worse off today than before. they don't feel like his policies have helped the middle class and what he promised to do. >> harris: i want to ask about that specific number when you put democrats with left leaning independents at 67. that's over half. the problem is his popularity was into the, you know, basically stratosphere compared to that. the bottom is falling out across the board or no? >> he lost over 20 points there. when you think of democrats only support him 80%. donald trump had north of 95% approval within his party. you need to have that support of

your party to get them energized. the issue is underneath there are issues that might drive enthusiasm out of the control of biden. abortion, economy and inflation. that has control but those are the kinds of this innings to motivate people to vote despite the candidates. >> harris: he only things those things are in his control when they are in his favor. watch him which is what he says to do. when you do he is excited about the numbers going well and everybody else's fault when they are not. you mentioned something so key. how he is doing not only just within his own party but how that might affect across the aisle. so i took a look at that and i find it fascinating that republicans now are kind of doing something that we don't normally see them do, either. coalescing. mike pompeo announcing he won't seek the white house in 2024. perhaps others that we may not know about among the gop taking a look. senator tim scott of the great state of south carolina is

exploring this idea. hasn't announced yet. talk to me about what happens if the right side of the aisle says we'll do what democrats do. get behind whoever is running and if that's donald trump that's donald trump. >> that could be a really interesting scenario. it looks like donald trump is very difficult to beat. same organization you mentioned did an analysis of frontrunners. if you have more than 30% of the vote a year out you're more likely to win. donald trump right now depending on the polls you look for as the frontrunner for the candidate is well north of 30. if you are underneath 10% you are very unlikely to make it. the republicans would be smart to get behind one account. at least a fewer number than they have in the past. you think 2016 with 17 people on stage. >> harris: high up on the list and right behind in the numbers is governor of florida ron desantis and super pac aligned with him announced a new tv ad

attacking donald trump a clear sign he plans to enter the race for 2024. let's watch. >> we won't mess with social security as republicans. >> what did trump say? >> entitlement on your plate? >> at some point we'll take a look at that. >> what happened to trump? >> my take is it's hard for desantis the take down donald trump and i don't know if this will be effective enough way. desantis poll numbers are dropping. not because of the surge of trump but missteps. important donors who said he has gone too far right on social issues and starting to drop support of him. i'm not sure his campaign is focused on issues that matter most. they wanted to hear trump-like policies with character and consistency. >> harris: he was delivering on that. >> he was. that doesn't seem the direction he is going right now.

he seems pretty bombastic and not resonating in the way you respect. a lot of people say is he really a donald trump figure orr only in donald trump clothing. >> harris: if some people get into the race and it's left to fewer people we'll get to know them all much better and that's a positive. if they have problems on the left side of the aisle it can be the shiny object for that side and republicans can work on themselves. lee carter, great to have you in "focus." good to see you. [shouting] >> harris: i mean, look at chicago. hundreds of teenagers took to the streets. they took over big swaths of the city. what the ultra liberal

mayor-elect brandon johnson is saying about all of it. plus the house judiciary committee holds its field hearing on crime right here in new york city. >> dereliction of duty has caused tremendous harm. >> i was disrespected, me, my family, my grandchildren were treated like garbage. >> it seems alvin bragg's top priority was to keep criminals out of jail. >> harris: witnesses had that and much more to say about the deteriorating state of the city. former new york congressman lee zeldin in "focus" next. the hearing is still going. in here for hours. what do we do now? we live... ♪ save time and money with progressive's homequote explorer. what you do afterwards, is up to you.

[shouting] >> harris: three consecutive nights of this. mobs of teenagers flooding the streets of chicago.

two including gunfire. some of the crowd is just watching for an hour and gunfire and you would see them run like the rest of the violence wasn't bothering them. this is all downtown chicago saturday. police arrested 15 people and say two teenage boys were shot. 1 114 -- one is 14 years. the mayor elect urged people to give the teenagers the benefit of the doubt. here is his quote. in no way do i condone the destructive activity but like i love you but, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities. if that's poor that's what you do? so many americans struggle every day and they don't do that. democrats chose the crime-ridden city as the host for their 2024

convention. a new op-ed with a scathing quote here if you wanted to bring all the fallacies of liberalism and the democratic party together into one place that place would be called chicago. garrett tenney live in chicago. garrett. >> as you mentioned this wasn't a one-time thing. three nights in a row you had large groups of young people flooding areas of the city and bad things happening. the worst of it was saturday night along chicago's famed magnificent mile and near millennium park there hundreds of teens roamed the street late at night terrorizeing the city. thank you scene came after a fight broke out and several gunshots fired. two teens shot and taken to the hospital. you can see this group blocking off a city bus and climbing on

top jumping up and down. the tesla was smashed, broken into and set on fire. another couple driving down the street was attacked. one woman said people jumped on their windshield. smashed it and beat her husband while he was in the driver's seat. >> i jump in my car. my husband went to the hospital. >> what did they do? >> the hospital wouldn't give us an update on that man's condition. police arrested 15 people, nine adults and six teens charging most with reckless conduct. police had to escort tourists and others back to their hotels and cars for safety. when one woman made it back to her hotel she asked a local reporter what a lot of folks are wondering. where are these kids' parents? a lot of folks remember this isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened. these scenes have become a regular occurrence the past few

years every time the weather gets warmer with seemingly nothing being done to stop it. no reason to think things will be different moving into this summer. >> harris: hadn't considered when the weather gets better and they are out there longer. we're monitoring this morning's house judiciary committee hearing on violent crime in new york city and at times it has been heartbreaking and at times it has been horrific. it comes just weeks after the indictment of former president trump and democrats say the hearing is purely payback for that, all political. however, new york congresswoman stefanik pins it on the city's lax crime policies. new york is being targeted because you have radical left wing democrats who have put failed bail reform in place. that includes governor kathy hochul. that includes defund the police democrats in new york city as well as radical far left district attorneys like alvin bragg. the mother of a u.s. army

veteran. i showed her to you earlier. he was murdered in a gang assault in the city. she shared her story this morning. one of the four charged in that fatal incident is already back on the streets. this mom wants alvin bragg held accountable. >> mary saunders, the savage is walking the streets of harlem. capable at any moment of snapping and attacking someone and holding them while someone else plunges a butcher knife into their back nine times. and another person 12 times and they run away and leave a dead body in the street to bleed to death. and as far as the manhattan district attorney's office, if he is receiving one penny of federal dollars, you need to pull that funding until he starts doing his damn job and prosecuting crime. >> harris: oh yeah, she said the

quiet part out loud. former new york republican congressman and gubernatorial candidate lee zeldin is here. your response to madeleine first of all. >> she is a strong woman and she is not just speaking out with her own pain and fighting for justice towards the son's murderers, many of whom are able to get through a criminal justice system with the assistance of people who are there for the purpose of prosecuting but unfortunately for people like alvin bragg they think it stands for defense attorney, not district attorney. i'm happy this hearing took place. i think democrats are missing the boat on a couple points here. one is this is a real issue for new yorkers across party lines. people who go to the local pharmacy and they are seeing toothpaste locked up or maybe not feeling safe in traveling a subway or other quality of life

impacts. all the wrong assumption democrats are making as if blind partisan loyalty is just going to overwhelm the priority of other issues that transcend policy like wanting safe streets. really what the answer is here is for more leadership and we want people of all parties to stand up and say enough is enough. we want to take back our streets to support our men and women in law enforcement and it shouldn't be something that is pitting party against party. everyone should be on board in making sure people like madeleine feel safe and feel like there is a justice system representing them and their families. >> harris: i have to be honest with you, when i hear you say this it takes me back to two days in your candidacy, not one, but two. one, your family was in harm's way because of gunfire not for from your kitchen and the other is a man who tried to kill you on stage. when i think about those times, i wonder if anything has changed

that's good enough to keep you, your family and madeleine and so many millions of people in new york city safe. >> unfortunately right now what we're seeing is that you don't have policies that are actually getting rid of cashless bail. so that we are going further down the wrong path with elected officials who feel like we don't go far enough in representing criminals. there is the aspect of prosecutors who refuse to enforce the law. bragg said he wasn't going to prosecute all different sorts of crimes and others would get treated as lesser offensive. the third piece is last year we saw nypd having more resignations and retirements than they've experienced in a long time. the impact on morale and safety. for new yorkers and other cities like this. you were playing the clip from

chicago. for people who want to see their streets taken back, for law-abiding americans to be in control rather than criminals from the policies to the prosecutors to the lack of support of law enforcement a lot of people feel it isn't going in the right direction. >> harris: thank god you and your family are okay. you talk about the voters turning things around but they are not. in chicago they went from lori lightfoot to brandon johnson. they didn't choose paul vallas, more moderate. they doubled down on some of these policies. in new york city they didn't have to choose mayor eric adams. they thought they chose the former republican that he is. the former new york city cop he is and that he might be different. with alvin bragg everybody knows who these d.a.s are. people aren't making those choices. i wonder why the people who don't feel safe are outnumbered by the ones who don't care. >> there are a lot of people waking up. new york state for example 22%

of the state is registered republican. we got just under 50% of the vote. clearly there are a lot of people not republican who feel like we need to do more to secure our streets. we just need even more people to wake up in order to turn this around. >> harris: those are important numbers to know about. thank you. tensions around the globe are growing. it is an especially serious time for a military recruitment crisis to happen now. it's a symptom of cultural rot in america. america's cultural cancer manifests itself in many ways but no symptom is more telling than our low military recruitment from the editorial board of the "wall street journal." they write what does this say about america? it says the partisan politics have infected america's core institutions. civilian leaders used the unformed services as political pawns and directed them to push progressive priorities. it goes on to say waining

confident in american exceptionalism is the biggest problem of all. i want to get you in the conversation whether or not you think that's right? >> next month i finish my 20th year in the military. when i first signed up it was 25 years ago and a motivator for me, pre-9/11, is that i believed we lived in the greatest country in the history of the world. i look at people from generations before us who laid down their life in defense of freedom and liberty. i wanted to challenge myself to wear the same shoes our world war ii veterans war in storming the beaches of normandy. fast forward to 2023 and if you are trying to recruit a 17 and 18 to serve and defend our country and willing to lay down their life you have to make sure that the military is about that mission of keeping america safe, secure, and free. as soon as you inject other

dynamics and make it a social experiment you will have the impact on recruitment. focus on making our military as strong as possible to defend our flag and freedom. >> harris: thank you very much. good to see you lee zeldin and thank you for your service. >> thank you. >> harris: this is interesting. apparently democrats do care about age. they may not care that much with joe biden, maybe they do. they do with this woman 89-year-old senator dianne feinstein is dividing the party should she retire over health issues. the infighting getting a little ugly now. the battle of transgender participation in sports in full spring. riley gaines making it her cause. >> i think that what she has done is try to turn this using things to kind of get likes and get clicks. >> i think she is speaking up for pretty much every female

>> harris: college swimming champion riley gaines still pushing against including trans women in women's sports. the issue turning into heated debate between democrat congresswoman katie porter and piers morgan. >> nobody, including riley gaines, who i disagree with strongly. >> what has she said that's wrong? >> what she has done is try to turn this -- we talked about people becoming -- using things to get likes and get clicks. >> that's not what she is doing. i've seen her stand up for women's rights. she competed against leah thomas. that cannot be right. it cannot be fair. [applause] >> that is something that i trust -- i think our sporting bodies should be dealing with. >> harris: the panel also got into bud light's disastrous marketing campaign with transgender influencer dylan

mulvaney. >> when it comes to trans issues there is no room for debate. trans people seem just to want to have you -- you have to accept lock, stock and barrel everything they say or else you are a bigot and you are shouted down. >> harris: there is plenty of room for debate on this here. power panel. cassie smutly for rising american patch and a former democrat senator from the great state of alaska. cassie, i will start with you and first of all your reaction to a little bit of the back and forth between piers and katie porter. >> harris, i couldn't believe what i was listening to. katie porter was part of a record-breaking class of women coming -- being elected to congress. donald trump gave them a shout-out and everyone applauded. she supposedly understands that representation matters. where is she? where are the feminists of this issue? piers morgan did more to stand up for women in that segment to

katie porter who is this big proponent of crime. as a woman i'm so frustrated that the generation of feminists that we have been told that we are supposed to support is definitely silent on this issue. it is so frustrating that they have a platform and will not use it. you are showing soccer on your screen. they abdicated for equal pay that i agree with. they came out against a bill that would ensure that biological women are playing in women's sports. it is be fundling to me. the left is wrong on this issue. 55% of those polled say they strongly oppose or oppose this effort by lgbtq community. >> harris: i want to get the senator to respond to that. i can't imagine that popular thoughts about this or polling would not matter in this venue.

we're in a whole new space, senator. when you hear a number 55% of people don't agree what do you say? >> first i'm surprised they are looking at polls. the republicans to determine policy. they would be focus on supporting pro-choice positions around this country. let's put that aside. two issues you saw in the debate. the first was you shouldn't impugn a congresswoman is wrong on this. you shouldn't impugn the character of someone debating the issue. you should have the debate. on the beer issue i don't care. i think most americans don't care who is promoting what beer or beverage. if you don't like the beer, don't buy the beer. there are two separate issues. we should have great debate over these issues especially in regard to trans. but i will tell you that it is somewhat amazing to me to watch this debate because between fox and npr. sorry to compare you for a second. this is all you guys talk about.

when you think about this week in congress, they are trying to talk about the deficit. why aren't we talking about that. >> harris: we are at the last 2 1/2 minutes of an hour-long program and we have covered many topics. that, a, is not true. i don't listen to enough npr to listen to what they're doing on the radio or tv. i can tell you right now that is not true. look, this seems to be a lane of women's rights that really far left democrats don't particularly like. so is it that they don't like women in the issues and want to push women out or is it something else? quick and then i want to go back to cassie. senator. >> real quick. i think it's on both ends. you have the far left on some ends that have this debate. same thing on the far right when it comes to the choice issue. >> harris: i'm only looking for you on this issue and your own party. we're not doing any other topic

here, >> just gave you my thoughts. >> interesting the senator is trying to deflect from this. they aren't getting it quite right. i would caution, we saw what happened when democrats tried to say that what was happening in our schools that parents were wrong on the issue of the curriculum. this is very akin to that. parents are feeling like their right of being a parent is threatened. >> harris: great to have you both. bud light lost a lot of money with the road they chose to drive down. good to see you both. >> i don't drink bud light. >> harris: okay. try the new cajun shrimp trio, richly seasoned with cajun flavor. it's a bold new way for shrimp three ways. welcome to fun dining. - this is our premium platinum coverage map and this is consumer cellular's map. - i don't see the difference, do you? - well, that one's purple.
