he has the vision and can serve two terms to really unwind all the dangerous policies that biden has really been spearheading at the border, economically, from the education standpoint. and so governor desantis has shown that florida can indeed be a model for the rest of the country. he has led. he has really made sure that we have delivered the most conservative, common sense agenda for floridians and he wants to do that for americans throughout the country as well. >> carley: well, this endorsement by kim reynolds comes two months until that all important iowa caucus. we will be watching and see how everything shapes up. lt. governor, thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. have a great day. >> thank you. >> carley: absolutely. todd, you have a great day left you have 10 seconds left. >> todd: tough questions because they have a year to figure this out. >> carley: one year. and with that we have three seconds to "fox & friends." it starts right now. ♪ >> 308s are closed and results

believe we should remain a sanctuary city? >> no. ♪ good morning, everybody, and welcome to the post game show. after a big election night coast to coast. we have got some results. >> you were in virginia yesterday interviewing governor youngkin and things did not go as he had hoped. >> steve: indeed. sit back, pour yourself a cup of coffee and we will explain it all. start over at the big board and lawrence jones start in the commonwealth of virginia. >> lawrence: big upset for the governor there not only did he lose the house, but they were not able to flip the senate. look at the map. democrats have 51 to the production' 47. and when you go over to the house can we switch? i think he got 21 democrats there in the senate. and then 17 republicans in the

senate there. the bigup set was one thing particularly, when it comes to abortion. republicans just weren't able to rally. also, when you look at the issues such as crime and everything they weren't able to run on that. when you look at also the democrats outspent the republicans. early voting the democrats really pounded the pavement there, guys. >> they did indeed, lawrence. >> ainsley: lot at stake and in virginia that was really a loss for the governor. he traveled all over that state to all the different districts, they spent a ton of money trying to get the republicans to win in both of those establishments. but no abortion ban. i think that's what the voters said. what did he want, brian he? wanted 18 weeks is the governor. >> brian: 15 weeks. he said flip the house. keep the senate. and he lost both. what a -- an epic failure by

governor youngkin. >> this is a huge loss for him who everyone looked at if not 24 which i thought was a long shot but 28. >> ainsley: that's a tough state to win in though. you have equal amount of republicans and democrats. and when we went there, when governor youngkin was running, i remember people were really angry. they did not want him to win on the democratic side we were standing outside of a grocery store asking people when they came out either they loved him or completely against him. >> steve: virginia, for the most part, has been a blewish state. it just got a lot bluer. the number one most motivating factor was the issue of abortion in the commonwealth of virginia, because. while glenn youngkin was trying to come up with a moderate approach, okay, let's say 15 weeks, and then it would be a ban. and we should point out that wasn't on the agenda. that wasn't actually on the ballot. if you elect all these republicans, i can get this done

unfortunately little for him, of the people very loudly said, you know what? not interested in that. >> lawrence: doesn't look like the ground came work or early voting initiative didn't work. upset there ohio, big thing there. when you look at the republican -- this was the post provided the state the constitution right to make and carry out one's productive decision. let's take a look at what it said. so, 56% .03 percent said yes. and 43.7 percent said no. so that was a big one as well. it looks like abortion, abortion, abortion was the big issue for the folks out there. also, when you look at the midwest, republicans just aren't doing a good job of getting people to turn out. it looks like they focus on this economic message. the voters just aren't buying it, guys. >> brian: no senate seat up, no governor seat up. this big issue was up.

and here we are two years after the job decision message it. two years after the dobbs decision they are still getting outraised by democrats in every major election and major major issue. >> ainsley: how do republicans figure this out. we heard nikki haley on the stage i'm not for abortion. i had a tough time getting. let's not vilify women it if ho this have made that decision or doctors who have made that decision or don't want to perform them. >> steve: ultimately it comes down to the question of abortion. americans, we have seen once again the predominant issue across the board was abortion. people don't want restrictions on it. and even though glenn youngkin in the commonwealth of virginia tried to come up with the common sense approach, a moderate approach, it did not work. and, in ohio, you know, they were simply trying to approve a measure to build in protections

and people didn't want that. and that number you just showed, lawrence, is about the same margin that recreational weed passed in ohio. >> lawrence: yeah, so, ainsley, when you look at the cnn polling says 68 percent said that the abortion issue was extremely or very important and only 32 percent said that it was moderate or not important. >> ainsley: it's nearly 7 in 10. republicans have figure out what their messaging is like brian was saying in order to go forward in the next election. we looked at this midterm election as a way to gauge how republicans or how democrats react going forward for 2024. so republicans need to look at all of these numbers, and really think about what's more important, yes, most people that are republicans are probably pro-life. and we love our babies. and i love being a mother. but what's most important? republicans taking over. and republicans being able to keep our country. >> brian: other thing that is important is they didn't message crime. they didn't message the border.

they have not touched the inner city, so whatever people -- however the mayors are failing i falling short, the bail reform or the lack of police officers on the street nothing was emphasized or matters as much as this or people are just staying home. republicans have a lot to work with. they are just not working with it. >> steve: well, ultimately it comes down to the democrats have a really potent issue and that is abortion. ever since roe v. wade was overturned. pressure time the democrats have run on abortion, they have won, and here's the bad, you know, and last night a harbinger for 2024 as you are alluding, to ainsley? absolutely. you know why? their opponents and pro-opponents trying to put abortion rights on the ballots in the states of florida, nevada, arizona, and pennsylvania, so it's going to be, you know, if you are a republican running in those states, you're going to have a

tough 2024. >> lawrence: one of the states that republicans would pushback on is the state of mississippi, they ran on abortion. that was the one issue and governor tate reeves was able to get 51.8% of the vote. why this important? 40% of the black individuals that live in that state 40% of the state. largest state for lack voters there. they really thought they were going to get black voters to show up for the democratic party. as you know, mississippi has a water issue, a crime issue, an economic issue. and black voters did not show up. >> ainsley: shut down in the rural areas. that's elvis presley's cousin. i thought maybe that would help him. maybe it did a little bit. >> brian: one place mississippi is getting better is education. starting to turn it around on education. maybe that had something to do with it. extremely republican state. that was supposed to be closer than it actually was. >> steve: that is a state where abortion was not an issue because they were both

anti-abortion. >> ainsley: that's exactly right. >> steve: wherever abortion was on the agenda, the democrats won. except in mississippi. >> ainsley: the reason was and they will appreciate this in mississippi being from the south, the reason he was pro--he was pro-life, presley, as a democrat was because of he, you know, loves the lord. and he felt like that was lord to opinion. >> brian: donald trump, talk about messaging. trump said got ridiculed. work something out on a compromise not a good issue for us. ron desantis, and nikki haley and everyone jumped all over him, and tim scott. and in the end, donald trump's instincts on the issue regardless of his personal feelings, are 100 percent right. he said this is not a good political issue for us. >> steve: he said they have some terrible state level restrictions. and he has also said that state politicians have spoken inarticulately about abortion. this particular issue, i think, is what is -- might put a smile

on joe biden's face. after the terrible polls he has had in the last week, i think he thinks and his people around him are saying if abortion is going to be a big thing, you would be able to win on that alone. and brian, to your point about donald trump. you know, he has been vegas on n specifics regarding abortion. they will say donald trump doesn't have a specific abortion policy, but he is the guy who put three justices on the supreme court to your point about donald trump. it's important to know as we move to kentucky, donald trump got 62% of the vote in the last election against joe biden. and andy beshear held onto the state people say is he moderate. they like him. david cameron was a rising star in the republican party. they expected him to win. this talking to folks on the ground there highly unlikely

because people like the governor there the one thing you saw in this election black voters came out. also the activists came out. they really went after will david cameron with the breonna taylor thing. they went door to door and did not show up. >> ainsley: he was the a.g. didn't like some of the laws under place under him. beshear, you and i were talking about this yesterday. his father was governor. >> lawrence: a republican. >> ainsley: his father was a republican. is he so moderate. the republicans also like him there. >> brian: i would like to add one more thing. ronna mcdabble told me on monday, cameron was getting killed on certain abortion ads, and he never responded. they thought we're just going to run out the clock. we like where we are on the polls and that was it, getting back to it. and it seems in every major race, republicans were outraged two and sometimes 3 to 1. they got a cheer to change that. >> steve: also in the commonwealth of kentucky, beshear won after hammering cameron for supporting the

state's near total ban on abortion. abortion across the board. >> lawrence: overall it looks like the republicans were outspent, they were outworked and seems like there is still no real strategy as it relates to early voting. looks like the democrats have an operation to get it done and i know some republicans have said they want to turn that around looks like anti voting message is not helping their turnout. they tried to pin president biden to beshear. he ran from the president. said i have nothing to do with the president or his policies. >> ainsley: we need to talk to ronna mcdaniel and find out what the plan is. >> brian: finds a lot of them uncoachable. >> ainsley: she does. >> brian: a lot of the candidates have been uncoachable. >> ainsley: that's an issue for republicans and then democrats we have seen facing in 2024 with everything happening in israel that party is divided. so divisions on both sides. >> lawrence: i think the big story is going to be we heard about the red wave the last time. enough to we heard about the big

wins that were going to be made in virginia that daniel cameron was going to win kentucky. that was wrong. it looks like the republicans need a full autopsy of where this polling. looks like there is interest in the republican party. when it comes it getting the folks to the polls they are failing. >> brian: had changed when we go 2024 with the president on the ballot. >> steve: yeah, and if you are -- if abortion is on the agenda, on the ballot in your state, the democrats, as of last night, and in the past special elections, democrats win. >> brian: so far seven states are off the board. >> ainsley: lawrence, good job on the big board. >> steve: come on over here. >> brian: we also have our eyes on big election results across the country. >> steve: including historic finishes in rhode island and right here in new york city. >> ainsley: griff jenkins is live with more for us. >> griff: we have more results more states. beginning in the city of brotherly love. democrat parker winning in a

landslide. look at that nearly 75%. she'll become the first female mayor of philadelphia, succeeding democrat mayor kenny who was term-limited. elsewhere in the state, notorious for this election errors, officials say a coding error in an eastern p.a. county caused votes to be flipped blot questions judicial retention and two precincts were kept open 9:00 p.m. due to bomb threats. moving farther up east in rhode island democrat becomes the state's first black candidate elected to congress and rhode island won defeating republican jerry leonard nearly 65% to 35% democrat incumbent holding on to state senate seat in competitive jersey coastal district there. finally in new york. where you guys are, starting in suffolk county. republican ed romaine wins the race for county executive. it's notable it's the first

county g.o.p. elected in nearly a quarter century. go back to 1999 for that right there in new york city, we are on the verge of a potentially major upset. republican christie it leads democrat marjorie vasquez to take a seat in the new york city city council in aoc's district. finally, do you remember this, exonerated central park five member yousef is a lamb has won a seat on the new york city council. and guys some of these results are unofficial and some results are still coming in as we just noted. we will continue to watch it and bring you results as we get it. guys? >> ainsley: thank you, griff. >> steve: indeed. thank you, sir. 6:15 here in the east. >> ainsley: we have seen a lot of protests around the country, all around the world when it documents israel. there was a pro-palestinian rally yesterday. it was massive. it was held here in manhattan. and it went over the manhattan bridge into brooklyn. met at city hall. some of the chants genocide joe has to go. >> steve: that's new, listen.

[chanting genocide joe has got to go] you can't hide you supported supported genocide. eric adams, you can't hide. >> you supported genocide. >> brian: never seen some people be so wrong on such an important issue. but i think eventually they are going to grow up and be embarrassed that they stood out there. they have no idea for the most part what they're doing. who they're standing up for. people that just a month ago that day chopped up innocent people who just wanted to have breakfast or just have a normal life. many of which gave their free time and volunteered to help the people of gaza. these guys couldn't even find gaza on a map well, and that was going on yesterday here in new york city, 280 miles south on

the floor of the u.s. house of representatives, rashida tlaib became the 26th member in the history of the house of representatives to being censured. 22 democrats actually voted with 212 republicans. she was censured because the way the resolution read, she defended the hamas october 7th attack calling it resistance and also calling for the annihilation of israel by repeating that chant from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. you would have to get rid of israel for that the vote was supposed to be today. but they had it yesterday because rich mccormick, a republican from the great state of georgia, was sponsoring this particular resolution. he started getting death threats in his office. and so it's like all right, let's just move it up and get it over with. ainsley: what is a censure? one step below expulsion from congress. but she is well-liked in her

district because there's a large arab community there and she won the election by a landslide. >> brian: looks like going to be primaried. 22 democrats. >> ainsley: that's interesting. >> brian: censure her because they are embarrassed by her actions. >> ainsley: many are jewish. >> brian: two voted president. one republican voted present. they did it. usually if you are censured there is some contrition. instead, anger, tears, there was screaming. ilhan omar was up there. mr. pull the fire alarm bowman was up there screaming for her and that others for condemning her. she held up a picture of a family member to talk about the palestinians, which it she doesn't acknowledge was all caused by the people elected by the palestinians, hamas, whose goal is to wipe out the israelis and the chant that she supports and echoed has the israel wiped off the face of the earth. and one other thing is important not only interesting contrite.

she cut a 60 second spot backing up and condemning the democratic president there is no way she had a slip of the tongue. she is proud of what she did. and sadly, i think some people will look at her as -- look at her. >> morgan: positively now as if she is standing up for an admiral cause. she is going to be primaried. >> ainsley: y'all probably seen that video airing it on fox. show you an example of what she is posting on x. videoed of her saying to joe biden. i have a message for you. we will remember it in 2024. then it pans over to a protest and that's what they are yelling "from the river to the sea" that's what they had a problem with. >> steve: before they had the censure vote democrats dried to get rid of that and that does d. fail. she does have supporters in congress and as brian mentioned a moment ago, they were vo vocal and emotional and here's a little bit of it. >> you realize what it is like, mr. chair, for the people outside the chamber, right now, listening in agony to their own

government k dehumanizing them o hear the president of the united states help elect pew death tolls as we see dead under the rubble. this elected body enslaved black people, it's not surprising because they thought it was right. racism and sexism islamophobia, getting pushed off of the elevators xenophobia and more right here in this workplace. >> you lark the cognitive and emotional ability to recognize diverse opinions when they speak truth to power. >> your comments to the chair. >> someone yelled fire alarm. >> brian: they say the republicans aren't diverse enough to understand an anti israeli chant. >> all right. so that's some of what is going on and there is plenty of it. also, coming up, free speech at stake on capitol hill this morning. a hearing will address anti-semitism on americans' campuses. next guest will be there to testify before they sit down before congress.

drew. they also crossed out the flag that they couldn't erase them. then any of our messages that said support israel or america needs to support israel. israel was crossed out and replaced with palestine. even as we were chalking people are like what about palestine? why aren't you guys supporting palestine? and then there have been weekly protests in support of palestine as well. and even a more recent incident, three of the university democrat members released a statement supporting palestine, and they had in their captions like from the river to the sea, which is very anti-semitic. they released a statement kind of correcting that and kind of just snowballed into an even bigger thing, causing the iowa democrat party to want these members removed from the university democrats organization. >> ainsley: amanda, you are going to washington, d.c., you are probably already there right now. tell me what you plan to say to congress. >> i plan to kind of just describe really the atmosphere that existed on campus since october 7th.

initially professor ruffle rex ford had released comments at a public rally in downtown ithaca claiming that he was exhilarated and energid by hamas, which obviously can be interpreted as incitement to violence by students to respect their professor and value the words that he relayed on to them. ever since then, we have seen a stream of consistent and virulent anti-semitism on campus from words sigh nism equals genocide being graffitid all offer campus. posters of hostages being torn down or defaced free palestine over the faces of innocent young children who were ripped from their homes and from the entire life that they knew and, of course, most recently last week, there were direct threats to the jewish community posted on to an online forum affiliated with cornell university.

that really directly instructed other students and expressed the perpetrators' desire to, among others, shoot up the only kosher dining hall on campus and to, you know, pursue and go after all of the jewish students on campus and slit their throats, throw them off cliffs, really, really graphic wording of what did to see happen to jewish students. i would like to paint the picture of what's been happening at cornell and really campuses across america. >> ainsley: yeah. just to distinguish the difference between free speech and hate speech. i know it's not easy to be on this side when you are surrounded by some people that just aren't educated on the issue. thank you, god bless. >> thank you. >> ainsley: ohio passing a key measure yesterday. another poll showing trump beating biden. our political panel on what this all means ahead for 2024.

competitive races in dozens of states yesterday, providing key insight on what voters are thinking ahead of 2024. what are the biggest election night takeaways? let's talk to republican strategist and former u.s. senate candidate joe pinion, he is screen left. we have mixed this up. and former new york state senator and democratic strategist on the right right here david. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> steve: joe, let's start with you, what did we learn yesterday other than if abortion were was on the ballot democrats were going to win. >> i think we learn a few things. i think we received a stark reminder that president trump is the number one catalyst for turning out the vote, not just for republicans but also for democrats. i think in many ways when you look at what happened in virginia, not taking back the state senate but losing the house of delegates there. it's a reminder that you have find ways to demonstrate you can govern. the one thing that republicans should be looking at for 2024.

how can we demonstrate that we can be trusted with a majority in the senate, with a majority in the house in light of what happened there with that shutdown for 22 days. i think that is more indicative of what happened last night than perhaps the hype about abortion. >> steve: you think the government shutdown with the republicans they couldn't pick a speaker that was lingering and impacted people in the commonwealth of virginia? >> i think that i think the fact this week was president trump testifying here in new york city. i think that you have to be a fool to believe that there was not some time in there in the park to make sure he was front and center as people were going to the polls. >> steve: gotcha. david, what about yesterday? >> a great night for democrats. much needed. morale booster that we needed after those polls came out. the senna, "new york times" poll that showed biden losing in those five battleground states. abortion is the issue, right? wins. democrats scramble, try to get abortion on the ballot in as many states as possible.

that's really driving voters out. i think we see across the few states that we're looking at, if it's kentucky, virginia, these are really tea leaves that bode well for democrats. if the virginia senate goes democratic, then the president goes democratic next year. and that's the continuing pattern that we have seen over the past few years. so this bodes extremely well for democrats. a real morale booster and gives us excitement heading into 2024. >> steve: yesterday, i was diner outside of washington, d.c. in manassas. there was a lot of excitement there because they were trying to hold the house and flip the senate. ultimatultimately republicans le house and did not pick up the senate there either. the governor was trying to come up with moderate winning approach for republicans that could be a model across the country. that was, okay. let's make the abortion ban after 15 weeks. that seems reasonable. but ultimately, apparently the

people of the commonwealth didn't think so. >> when you're explaining, you're losing in politics. that's what youngkin was trying to do. that's what we saw in ohio as well. they are trying to say oh, well, you know, 15 weeks. this exception. maybe it's not that. it wasn't clear. republicans were really on the defense, on their backs trying to explain what they're trying to do with abortion. and voters just weren't buying it. they didn't trust republicans and we see that in these election results. >> steve: joe, real quickly, regarding abortion. if it's on the ballot, it's not helpful to republicans. how do they fix that? >> look. i think republicans have to stand firm on the reality. the majority of all abortions in this nation occur before 1 weeks. i think republicans need to be stressing how extreme some of the positions are for democrats and they have to highlight the fact that democrats consistently weaponize the womb for votes whether you have people running for mayor or county executive. people that have no control over abortion laws whatsoever. they still try to conflate those

local issues with that type of national urge. republicans vocusing on the irrelevancy from the economy to the border those are winning issues. trying to explain ourselves out of this abortion kind of pretzel i think makes it very difficult to win. >> steve: i hadn't heard it described like that before. you mentioned a moment ago donald trump. cnn came out with a brand new poll and it looks at with independent voters, when given the choice, independent voters break for donald trump 45 to 41. it is, of course, within the margin of error. donald trump among voters under 35 trump also beats joe biden that is a couple days ago and, joe, you were -- or you were talking about it just a little while ago the poll that had all the democrats here on fire because joe biden isn't so unpopular. that was the fact that in that

poll, r.f.k. jr. beats donald trump and joe biden with voters under 45. so, joe, take all that into consideration and where do we go from here. >> you see in those numbers a fervor for a different kind of choice. i think, also, we see in those numbers in many ways a reminder that siena college polling does well try to suppress republicans who think they can win or scare democrats out of malaise. >> steve: you think they do that. >> history on my side if you look at the races. digging deep here for 2024, republicans have to find a way to communicate they can be trusted to govern. >> steve: all right, david? >> i think with r.f.k. jr., i think he is a candidate to know him is to not like him when voters understand what he is about, you will see those votes move away from someone like r.f.k. jr. i think that's the issue with biden, right.

pollings setting democrats hair on fire. democrats need to panic and be. morale booster last night. we have to change the way we talk about the economy. the policies are working. but the way the perception is not. that's got to change. >> i don't know if the policies are working. but i think, again, if you look at what's happened. joe biden has ended packs americana from peace time world war ii to present. we are staring down the war in gaza. war in ukraine. potential conflict. >> steve: not a good news on his plate. >> that's what i think republicans should be focusing on. these issues have not worked. these policies have not worked. and america is on decline on the democrat watch. >> the take away is all politics is national. >> steve: there you go. joe and david, thank you both for joining us live. >> great to be with you. >> steve: coming up, ivanka trump set to take the witness stand this morning in the trial probing the trump family business. what we can expect to hear and could her father, the former

president, actually go to jail? that's what some people are wondering. plus, this wild video, police pursue a speeding motorcycle weaving through a california freeway. how it ended, you got to figure it's not good, come up. she found it. the feeling of finding the psoriasis treatment she's been looking for. sotyktu is the first-of-its-kind, once-daily pill for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding your back... is back. or finding psoriasis can't deny the splendor of these thighs. once-daily sotyktu is proven to get more people clearer skin than the leading pill. don't take if you're allergic to sotyktu; serious reactions can occur. sotyktu can lower your ability to fight infections including tb. serious infections, cancers including lymphoma, muscle problems, and changes in certain labs have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection, liver or kidney problems, high triglycerides, or had a vaccine or plan to. sotyktu is a tyk2 inhibitor.

>> brian: today it's ivanka trump's turn. turn to be a witness on the witness stand to face questioning if the civil fraud trial probing into the business. her dad is dominating the g.o.p. field right now. you might have heard from him. doubling president biden in key swing states calls the entire thing a political witch-hunt. here to react is fox news legal editor carrie ivvon. great to see you. you were in the courtroom when president trump testified. yesterday they were off. judge at one point said i'm not here to listen to you talk. he is on the witness stand. who is the judge prefer to listen to? >> right. also it's the judge's job to listen to him. that he was the whole point. why have a trial if you are not going to listen to your defendant and your witnesses. we're at the stage now in this trial where the judge is determining how bad will the punishment be for both donald trump and his family. he needs to listen. >> brian: i would think so. he decided before this case even -- from what he read, he is like you owe $250 million, we think. and you defrauded banks who have not complained.

and today ivanka will be front and center. but, yet, she is not involved in this trial. why bring her in? >> so everything about this case is wrong. and ivanka being forced to testify is extra wrong. because, to your point, she is not a defendant. the case was dismissed against her. so her brothers are defendants. her father is a defendant. this case continues against them. but it was dropped against her. so the reason i think they are forces her to testify is really to make it as painful as possible for this family because now they are putting, you know, a daughter in the position of having to testify against her father because she was an employee at his organization at some point so she may have some knowledge about something. >> brian: under oath, they hope that she'll say something to make her dad look worse or further divide the family. why is letitia james the attorney general there every day? >> brian, it is so inappropriate and so highly unusual. attorneys general do not attend trials. they just don't. the fact that she is going every day on the taxpayer's dime, putting aside every other thing that she has to do, to sit there

in the front row to smile are a she campaigned on going against donald trump it's to be in the shot. to make statements to the press. and just further bolsters the widespread frustration that this is a political witch-hunt. >> brian: after ivanka testifies, then it's time for the defense, correct? >> um-huh. >> brian: we will see the president again. will we see the sons? and what is going to be there approach? >> they are going to obviously defend themselves. because their ability to make a living in new york and not just in new york but elsewhere is on the line. that's why this case is so upsetting on so many levels. one, the law in new york state has never been applied in this way against someone without a crime. it just hasn't. this is unprecedented. but they are going after trump and his family. and with their future, really. and their ability to make a living on the line. >> brian: they are saying that you overvalued your property. therefore, you owe $168 million additional dollars or whatever it is. but, when a bank lends money, he also included on some of these

documents diligence, i believe my property in scotland or mar-a-lago is worth x amount of dollars i'm not telling anybody what to lend. but this is what i think. so go ahead and do something you are comfortable with and you got paid back. >> every document says that that disclaimer says front and center this is the position of the company. this is our valuation. but it's on you to do your due diligence. if you don't, that's on you. and there wasn't a problem. and by the way. the president did -- the former president made a point at one point during the testimony on monday, and he said look, there were some times when the banks came back to us and said eh, we don't this or that and we changed it and there wasn't a problem. >> brian: when he was hosting the apprentice no problem. when he is trying to become a two term president it's a problem. i hope people can see through it. kerri, thank you so much. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: carley shimkus has promised to do the news. >> carley: i certainly am. listen to this, brian. a chicago meeting descending

into chaos. residents demand end protection for illegal migrants. watch this. believe we should remain a sanctuary city? >> no. no. [shouting no] >> carley: mayor brandon johnson facing backlash after trying to block a vote on chicago sanctuary city status as struggle to house more than 25,000 migrants that have arrived since last year. overnight police involved in a high-speed chase as a motorcyclist speeds through a los angeles highway. officials say the motorcyclist was hitting speeds up to 100 miles per hour, endangering others on that highway. helicopter nfers the sky helped keep track of the suspect who police then arrested at a traffic light. and house republicans approving, slash the salary of transportation salary pete buttigieg $1. the move is an amendment to the 2024 transportation and housing and urban development spending
