few years ago when iran was really on the brink of, you know of economic, you know, cause of concern. almost collapse really. they weren't able to fund terrorist cells, things like that. as you mentioned my background in the army. that's one of the greatest points of pride for me is the decades that i spent in the united states army. my service there spanned the entire two decades of the war on terror. i have stood face to face with terrorists in guantanamo bay. i know that we have to take the threat seriously. we have to take the threat from iran seriously. there is still, today, out attempting to assassinate president trump. so we have to take the threat seriously for all americans and for our allies around the world. and we need to provide. >> carley: thank you so, tom barrett. have great weekend. we have to leave it there. ha"fox & friends" starts right

now. >> ainsley: it is 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. it is friday. it's november 8th. and this is "fox & friends." republicans extend their winning streak in the senate with dave mccormick. huge win in pennsylvania. >> skyrocketing prices, the wide open border. the crime in our cities. the war on fossil fuels and they want change. >> lawrence: big victory. plus, haven't they learned their lesson? democrats and the social media in the media scolding latinos for helping elect donald trump. >> want everything that happens to your mixed status family and wives, sister as well as from here on in. >> brian: then, no monkeying around. why do i get this story. you get the serious stuff. dozens of monkeys escape a research facility in south carolina and they are coming your way, yes, you. "fox & friends" starts right now. remember, mornings are better with friends. >> lawrence: so much passion, brian. republicans are standing their

senate majority after senator elect dave mccormick huge win in pennsylvania. the control of the house still remains up in the air. >> ainsley: madeleine rivera joins us. >> madeleine: good morning. senate republicans are focusing on first big task selecting a leader. john thune is seen as a fave rift to succeed mitch mcconnell. is he urging president-elect trump to not publicly endorse as senate ballot elections are done in secret. florida senator rick scott though is also vying for the role and he says he does want trump to support him. meantime a third contender john cornyn is gaining some momentum. whoever wins will enjoy a comfortable with expected to hold at least 53 seats after dave mccormick beat bob casey in pennsylvania. >> i think what made the difference is people want change. they -- i think they represented that desire for change by electing president trump. the think the same with me.

they are deeply distressed by the skyrocketing prices, the wide open border, the crime in our cities, the war on fossil fuels. and they want change and common sense leadership. >> madeleine: two senate races have not yet been called but democratic senator jacqui rosen and ruben gallego narrowly leading republican challengers in nevada and arizona respectively. looking to the house, there is still more than two dozen uncalled races. here is the current balance of power 210 republicans to 198 democrats, 218 is the magic number, of course, to clinch the majority. so house speaker mike johnson has already launched a bid for re-election. house minority leader hakeem jeffries for his part is holding out hope they can squeeze out a win saying there are still races in oregon, arizona, and california that need to be determined. lawrence, ainsley, and brian. >> brian: all right. thanks so much, maddy. so, no doubt about it. >> lawrence: it is close. >> brian: it is really close. first off on the house, hakeem

jeffries puts out hope but there is really almost no hope. >> ainsley: there is no path but he says there is. >> brian: 218. get there this weekend. speaker johnson and steve scalise said please put me in place we would like to do it again. if trump is backing them they might not be able to have the drama of last time. >> lawrence: i get the sense, ainsley, they are way more organized this time when it comes to the house. they are ready to go. not only did donald trump know how washington works now, but he has great relationship with the governor. mike johnson is ready the only thing that is in the air right now, although there is control for the republicans of the senate is who is going to be the next leader of the senate. >> ainsley: right. i mean, this is just emblematic of americans wanted change. voters wanted change. republicans are going to take the house, the senate, most likely -- and most likely the house. they have the senate, and then the presidency as well. donald trump yesterday announced that his chief of staff would be susie wiles. she would be the first female chief of staff.

and she is very experienced. has a lot of political experience, veteran political strategist. she is always working. the lady works so hard. she -- here's a little bit about her. she works in the reagan administration in the labor department. she helped rick scott become governor. helped ron desantis become governor down in florida. and she does it -- lawrence and i were talking about this before the show. she doesn't want the credit. she likes to stand in the background. >> lawrence: she doesn't like the spotlight at all, brian. there was even a moment -- actually, i think we have it where donald trump tries to invite her on stage to give a speech, and she runs away from the camera. here's a little bit of that. >> let me also express my tremendous appreciation for susie and chris, the job you did. [cheers and applause] >> susie, come, susie. come here, susie. chris, come here, chris. susie likes to stay sort of in the back. let me tell you. the iseman.

we call her the iseman. come here, chris. [applause] susie likes to stay in the background. she is not in the background. >> brian: also. >> ainsley: chris la is a vita. behind the scenes. look at each other there is no friction. chris la is a vita. comes with a hammer, the former marine, i don't know if he has aspirations, i don't know if he wants to do it. >> lawrence: is he an operative. >> brian: she will be fantastic. she had a huge falling out with ron desantis. it looked like she was not going to be back in the republican party. donald trump says look, come over, see me. after a while he said let's revamp this together. why don't you do it? little by little they start building up this team overcoming all the court cases. hit the juggernaut. hit the primary and staff up and next thing you know they pull off this historic win. if you want to know how wildly she is respected. among the people praising her democrat jared moskowitz he says

congratulations i worked with susie the in desantis administration, she brilliant, tough, strategic. she will serve the country well. that's a democrat. >> ainsley: her dad is nfl player and sportscaster pat susumsummer real. summerall. it was a big issue in the past administration. in the past campaign. and she made sure that the campaign was disciplined. there was one message. she knows donald trump. she lets him be who he is. but she keeps the circle nice and tight. which is why this campaign you didn't have a lot of leaks. because she got rid of them all. >> brian: one report that said her prerequisite was you can't have the clown car pulling up every day. the question is who is in the clown car? i think i know. ohio who he -- in the clown car and they keep going past the

white house and they don't stop in. >> ainsley: donald trump said she is tough, she is mart, innovative and universally admired and respected. she did run a very disciplined, professional, and clearly successful campaign. we wish her all the best. >> brian: three people will not be in the administration. kevin mccarthy, glenn youngkin, tom cotton. >> lawrence: they have already announced. >> brian: big fans. in youngkin's situation i got two more years. so i think he will join midway, probably, if there is an opening. kevin mccarthy has a lot going privately set. going to see how things shake out. a lot of times you don't last four years in that job especially a chief of staff. tom cotton has a family. >> ainsley: young children, yeah. >> lawrence: tom cotton we finally saw him appear yesterday. he looks happy for someone who just in astonishing defeat. a complete red wave he looked kind of perky.

>> we all get knocked down but my dad would say it's how quickly we get back up. a defeat does not mean we are defeated. the american experiment endures. we are going to be okay. but we need to stay engaged. >> brian: well, can you do that but the question is how do you go forward and what did you do wrong he? feels like i need $300 million to start my library. good luck with that number two, look at all did i but no one appreciates it. maybe eventually they will. also, this is the beginning ever the soap opera. we discussed. this the democrats lose. i never thought it was going to be a blowout. if they lose you will not believe the soap opera take place, obama people, biden people, the harris people, the traditional people and they're all going to be blaming each other and, man are they blaming each opener. david plouffe came out and said i'm very proud of the campaign we run. we were in too deep of hole. the blowback got so thick he delighted his x account.

>> steve: sanders on msnbc striking back and says you guys didn't even ask joe biden to do go to his hometown to campaign in c scranton. no wonder why you lost. the back and forth is going back between three different camps right now. >> ainsley: they are really depressed. you have all these colleges saying we are going to cancel class. barnard college. harvard professors canceling classes because students feel blue about the trump win. the guardian is helping therapy to staffers after trump's upsetting win. liberal women are cutting off their hair. have you seen all of this on social media and going on sex strike? saying they hate men. they are never dating men again. >> brian: how do you know if you are on a sex strike? carry around a sign? don't approach? [laughter] for all we know we are all on a sex strike. we don't even know. >> ainsley: yesterday, things got heated at the white house. >> brian: can i say this? when kamala harris is giving her resignation speech, there is video of a fight between donna

brazile steve. >> lawrence: i saw this. and nancy pelosi. >> brian: broken up by the mayor of washington, d.c. you talk about soap opera. nancy pelosi solely responsible. she should retire. >> lawrence: she also said she is upset that she is taking all the blame for this when former president barack obama was in on it. there has been a lot of reports about that. that it's only her. >> brian: don't just hate me. hate him. >> ainsley: they are even blaming george clooney and julia roberts, too. >> brian: right. it's good everybody to blame we all know. >> ainsley: jacqui heinrich was pressing kjp yesterday at the white house. she had to leave the room. >> lawrence: she stormed off. >> ainsley: that's right. she stormed off. jacqui was asking her about biden's messaging after telling voters that democracy would crumble. listen to this. >> jacqui: the message to people who are fearful based on what the messaging was about staying -- >> well, now, you are just twisting everything around and that's unfair.

>> jacqui: how is it unfair? >> it's unfair, jacqui, because i have been standing here trying to be very respectful what happened the last two nights, two nights ago. being respectful. i have been standing here saying that we respect the decision that the american people made. i do not appreciate having my words twisted. that is i have been very clear, very, very, very clear about what the president wants to do and the vice president. we want to make sure that we deliver for the american people. they deserve -- they deserve a peaceful transfer of power and that's what you're going to see. thanks, everybody. >> lawrence: well, someone is mad. but,. >> ainsley: i know. >> lawrence: i always wonder because they ne think about the long game when they say things. they said he is a threat to democracy, hitler, that he going to destroy the constitution. what if he wins? how is that conversation going to go after you have scared the hell out of americans, how do you bring them into the white house after that? shouldn't you be trying to stop them from going into the white house? and i think jacqui was spot on

with the question but it looks like karine jean-pierre just wants to move on. >> brian: there is a few things going on. in 201, c did the same thing a women's march, riots in the streets,. >> ainsley: i remember that. >> brian: the american people have been trump tested they go listening i know what's rhetoric and what is not. i know what is reality and what isn't. that's why there was almost nothing except for a small protest, a pro-hezbollah protest on 48th. there is really no protest the mayor of new york city say i'm canceling my conference i have got to be here because trump won. nothing happened. the american people get it. >> ainsley: what about the other news outlets. like i'm watching cbs this morning. they literally had someone who is high up, cabinet position or something like that, in ukraine. and the lady was saying she was so mad that donald trump won and called him let ler and the reporter said you are calling him hitler? she said he is hitler. they actually used that soundbite. they are going to continue with

this message, negative message of hitler, fascist, nazi. and if they continue, this is what is going to continue to happen in our country. people are sick of it. they have to change their tune and messaging. >> lawrence: what i like about it is that the president-elect right now -- by the way he sees all of this happening. he has been crystal silent. >> ainsley: crystal silent? >> lawrence: normally go to truth. fighting back. but he is focusing on stacking his cabinet. talking with the different world leaders. establishing the administration. is he not taking the bait from them. >> brian: right. >> lawrence: the panic is still going on because they are still upset about the loss right now. >> brian: so right now, the president's gaining with just almost everybody except white people, who are the worst by the way. >> ainsley: white men are in his corner not white women. >> brian: lost two points but everything else he picked up. that's bothering people. makes people want to blame, i don't know, latinos? watch. >> the latino man who despite the utter disrespect shown by

trump and his promise to deport some of your mixed class -- mixed status families, most of them voted in a 55% majority to make the deportations happen. you own everything that happens to your mixed status families and to your wives, sister and as well as from here on in. >> latinos in texas a district that's 97% latino went 75 percentage points for donald trump, why? >> misogyny. >> no, it's on the border. the border crisis is on their doorstep. and they were begging people to care about for years. we need to take some lessons. >> a lot of folks are wondering why would latinos vote for donald trump if that means he might deport members of their household. >> these people, the entire -- we have gone through the numbers. i feel like we are like a broken record when we show every demographic where donald trump gained with the black folks, latinos. men, young people. and to just not take any of that

information -- say, you know what? what did we do wrong here and to blame it on misogyny? lazy analysis. >> ainsley: we talked to so many latinos and they said we are doing it the right way no. one gave us a handout no. one helped us. we did it the right way. we want other people to do it the right way. when you listen to soundbites, misogyny. why don't they stop blaming everybody. why don't they learn a lesson from. this take a step back and breathe a little bit. and say the majority of america wants this. i don't understand it. but maybe i should try to understand it so i can understand my viewer. >> lawrence: i like it breathe a little bit. just breathe. crying all over the place. >> brian: there is an app. just to tell you thousand breathe. which is crazy. i think lebron has it. it's crazy. look at the numbers. more women than men are in our country. he won by 7 million votes. so women are voting for a guy that they believe will treat them terribly? i don't even get it.

so, misogyny i don't understand. the thing is i think we are getting to a point when the emotions calm down and the doors close and they try to figure out how to we have the party, middle class, upper class, not talking about blacks, whites, in between, we just talk about people, the state they are, in how to help rather than oh the color of their skin, they must vote this way. >> ainsley: remember when rachel campos-duffy was on with us a few days ago? she said latino women, we want babies, we love having babies. i said i love having babies, too. i wish i had more. women want babies, she said but they want to be able to feed them. that was the issue. everything is so expensive. the border is wide open. criminals are coming across, we're worried about our national security. >> i will say this. because i do like competition. and i think we need a strong democratic party like we need a strong republican party. but if the democratic party wants to start attracting the people that it lost, they have

to remove donald trump from their vocabulary. any time -- we is on all the time, democrats, i ask them what's their policy position? what do you think on this? they cannot have any type of conversation -- he is not even mentioning -- not even involved. without saying donald trump. remove him out of your vocabulary. define what you believe without mentioning his name? >> brian: they already formed a resistance. pritzker, newsom, letitia james forming a trump proof state. resistance. >> ainsley: unamerican. >> brian: i watched last night when bret baier played the clip of gavin newsom trying to trump-proof california. he said if he wants to have a future, just govern. govern. that will be your best -- that will be your best thing to put in your resume. we will see. anything left or should we go? two-to-a fox news alert now. israel sending rescue planes to amster dan after israeli soccer fans were attacked by protesters

♪ >> so president-elect trump's victory solidifying a massive political rhea alignment around the country in real time. as we look at voter analysis and groups kamala harris did best with, including wealthy, nonreligious and college educated people, what does it tell you about the democratic party and why it's struggling?

fox news contributor, former white house press secretary ari fleischer joins us now to break it down. really stunning the realignment. you tweeted that out. the group she made the most progress was? >> rich people, make more than $100,000 a year. people who say they have no religion. she won them by 40 points and people with postgraduate degrees. the base of the democratic party, brian, is increasingly a rich, nonreligious super educated group of americans. and it's why they are struggling with la teen knows and working class americans. >> brian: it's interesting. you have been inside campaigns. weren't they seeing this in real time and still went out and booked beyonce, lady go grand brook springsteen? >> focus on it's okay to women competing in sports. the grain america has always been. we don't care but. we have an idea elitism, ideology about america that you don't fit into anymore. and people feel it. >> brian: here is jake tapper

talking about this comms issue that they are blaming it on. it's all about communications, watch. >> i just have to say i have been doing this job now for many, many years. many, many decades. i have to say it's always a comms issue, right? it's never the record. it's always they are just not communicating what they did effectively enough. the truth of the matter is that there was horrific inflation and people had trouble buying groceries and like for most americans, a $400 problem is a big problem. >> yeah, america was on the wrong track. people wanted change. this was a change election. but what is interesting about that of course it brought trump to the white house it. got the senate go republican. but it didn't move a lot in the house. republicans still have to be wise about how big an agenda. how much of an agenda they should push. i think president trump has incontinuationive feel. the house is going to go republican but with a very small margin. a real test of republican unity, can they deliver for president

trump and the country? >> brian: does it show thought trump popularity along with the agenda, it wasn't just the agenda or the mistakes of the previous administration? trump got more -- did better than the senate and the house. >> sure. presidents almost always lead the ticket. and that's what happened here. because of the president led the ticket, enabled republicans to pick up the seats in the senate that they did. but, the house remains very closely divided. iall i'm sayingrepublicans neede realistic. how much unity will they >> the house? >> brian: i up to the hear this exchange because you used to have this job and the premise was we know kjb said by the way trump is a fascist and the world is over if he wins, watch. >> jacqui: this administration message to millions of americans that they are going to wake up the day after the election trump won and have their rights ripped away that democracy would crumble and the president said today we are going to be okay. how do you square that. >> i can square that there was

an election two nights ago. there was it was a free and fair election. and we respect the elections process. it's important. >> the message to people who are fearful based on what the messaging was? you are just twisting everything around and it's unfair. jacqui, it's unfair. >> brian: she took her book and went home. she actually left right after that. >> couple points. the question is a good question. kamala harris called donald trump a fascist. as a fascist, how is everything okay? as for her getting up and leaving? you know, i was not allowed to leave a room until a senior wire reporter said thank you. it's up to the press how long i stayed in the room. i'm a traditionalist. i go by old school rules. i couldn't just pick up and go. i would have never disrespected the press. >> brian: emotion wases he extremely high. it was a tradition. the senior white house didn't

leave until senior wire said thank you. the tone of the democratic party in 2017 when trump came in, that is not what they did. they ran the worst transition in the world, they set trump up in those briefings that have been leaked to the press about the steele dossier. it was not a smooth transition from obama to trump. because of the games they played joe biden was in the room when they hatched that plan. communicate how they should be staffing, have you back a lot. you like carley shimkus though, right? >> i love her. >> carley: i love you guys, too that is so sweet. >> brian: i had no idea how he would answer. >> carley: i was on the edge of my seat as well. >> teleprompter said i love you. >> carley: i will get your true feelings later. got more news to get to. the judge in president-elect trump's civil fraud case is expected to decide whether or

not to toss out his felony conviction next week. manhattan supreme court justice juan merchan will also rule whether trump will be given new constitutional protections as president-elect. that decision is expected on tuesday. new york city is putting end to by lotted program that gave some migrants up to $350 a week for food through taxpayer funded credit cards. mayor eric adams saying quote as we move toward competitive contracting on asylum programs we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract. since march the city had reportedly handed out at least $3.2 million in food aid cards to around 2600 migrant families joe rogan is calling calling on president trump to unite the country after his historic victory. >> we got a real chance to make real change. this is like one of the first times ever where there is a real chance to make real tangible change that's going to be for

the good of everybody. he has got unite people. he has got to not attack the left. not attack everybody. let them all talk their [bleep] but it's time to unite. >> carley: giving trump that last minute endorsement in the days leading up to the election. >> those are your headlines, brian, back over to you. >> brian: kind of interesting, joe rogan staying in the political process. meanwhile now to this wild story, 43 monkeys, we counted them, are on the loose in south carolina. it's one town after escaping from a research center. we don't know who the master mind was, but they all followed and they're all to blame. police are warning residents to secure their doors and their windows. todd piro, our monkey correspondent will be on this. >> todd: years of schooling in order to be the monkey correspondent, brian. the alpha genesis research facility in south carolina saying 43 of their nearly 7,000 primates escaped after a worker left a door unsecured yesterday.

so, brian, it was a concerted effort by the monkeys, somebody left the door open. all 43 are female research monkeys. police saying each monkey ways between 6 and 7 pounds. they have never been used for testing due to young age. also too young to carry diseases. that's good. they do have eyes on the monkeys, traps have been set up in the area. they are working to entice them with food. the town's administrator urging residents to not approach the monkeys if they come into contact. >> do not approach them. do not try to take one home as a pet. don't try to harm them. go somewhere secure like a house, car, call 911. just advise them of where they are and where you see the monkey and we will get somebody out there. >> todd: not the first time monkeys have escaped from this facility. 19 monkeys escaped in 2016 but returned just six hours later. no word yet on if any of these 43 monkeys, brian, i know you counted have been captured. >> todd, i know you had a long

week but would you mind staying around until we get all of them. >> todd: i'm thinking of getting a hotel room in the city constant updates. each time we get one a fox news alert. you know the sounder. i report until all 43. i will not let this story die, brian. >> brian: bring the enjoys in and we will replenish. >> todd: thank you. >> brian: for that hotel. a closer look at california. a lot more red this time around. gavin newsom calls a special session to, quote: safeguard the state's liberal policies. thank goodness. ♪

passed a law you can steal under a thousand dollars without the police showing up to the scene. i never remembered the attorney general bank on the table saying he is going to be there for them. >> you know, lawrence, did you hear what he said? he said nothing. just word salad. and what have you is you have governor newsom who is a lame duck governor becoming -- trying to become relevant. it's a lame duck idea. they are going to have a legislative session december to stop president trump. trump doesn't take office until january. and amazing, they can't stop trump from removing illegal immigrants out of california. they cannot stop ice from arresting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. they can't do any of that. they are just talking. they are trying to remain relevant. at one point prop 36, a bill to increase penalties for shoplifting passed by 70%. gavin newsom was opposed to that bill. these democrats are in denial,

lawrence. they don't listen to the average american voter. trump does. they don't. >> lawrence: it's also a little delusional. pop up this map of california. i have never seen california so -- with so much red. i mean, you just compared to 2020, you would think there would be like some self-reflection and say hey, maybe we need to change some things or we may flip it to being a republican state. >> i will tell you what the problem is, the democrats don't want to tell the truth. donald trump's message resonates with the average voter. that graphic earlier today of the show proves it all. democrats is the party of the elite, the rich, most working class americans support the trump policy. and what you saw on that map, lawrence, was california a deep, deep blue state becoming a purple state because of one person, donald j. trump. that map is a wake-up call for

democrats. but the problem is they are asleep. they are in denial. >> lawrence: they are too busy calling everything racist and misogynist. every single group of people increased their turnout when it comes to donald trump. i think -- at some point, you have to say, look, our policies are failing people. and if you want them back, maybe respond to those issues. leo, thanks so much for getting up this morning. >> my pleasure, any time for you. >> lawrence: you got it, brother. so dr. marc siegel is live in my home state of texas for the warrior bike ride for america's veterans. he is next. ♪ i got a feeling ♪ i'm high on believing ♪ that you're in love with me ♪

george w. bush honoring 100 k pike ride. last year the former president told dr. siegel how important cycling is to some of these vets. >> when you ride mountain bikes on trails like we did today, you can't help but think -- feel wonderful about nature and feel fortunate. over time i'm confident there has been a vet that has said, you know, i don't know if i can ever get out of the darkness i

feel. somebody on a bike said yeah, i did. you can. my dream is every vet that is living in darkness can figure out how to come and live in the light. >> ainsley: dr. marc siegel is live from crawford, texas where that ride will take place later this morning. is he joined why retired u.s. army staff sergeant spencer arlo. good morning. >> good morning, ainsley. we are here in crawford texas, outside of the prairie chapel ranch you see the prairie chapel school in the background which has been here since the 1880s. everybody is very excited today. i will tell you run reason, the weather is great. it's in the 70s. the trails which were devastated by tornadoes and storms, in the spring have been rebuilt, thanks to this tremendous crew here that worked with president bush. so everybody is really looking forward to it. and it's team 43. they come together. they actually network outside of this ride, this ride is a launch point for the vets. they ride in formation, if somebody falls, they pick them back up.

you just heard the former president talk about coming out of the darkness and into the light. that's a key part of this. and i'm joined now, today, by staff -- former staff sergeant, retired staff sergeant spencer my low. you wouldn't believe the story of spencer milo here who in 2007 was a gunner on a truck and was escaping combat fire and he ended up with a head injury and post-traumatic stress. then they told him he had cancer, which he didn't have. he went to afghanistan next. and in afghanistan a suicide bomber blew up and literally had another severe traumatic brain injury. what has all that been like, spencer and how have you recovered? >> it's been quite the ride that's for sure. a lot of dark times. i try to follow the light. tried everything to do tried to stay in the fight. that wasn't the path for me. moving forward and help other people to figure it out.

mark mark you mentioned to me the post-traumatic stress new low second traumatic brain injury. what has been your math to recover. you are indreadable how you have helped other vets with brain injuries. working for the green berets. how has that path helped you bring back the courage? >> it's really helped. my own story so many of us have dealt with in the beginning, tried to hide it and eventually i realized it wasn't a weakness. it was a strength to be able to talk about it. so talk about that and now i'm trying to talk about any chance i get to help people out. >> lawrence: what was it like to have the former president paint you? did he get the painting right in 2007, in his book portraits of courage? did he get you right. >> i would like to say he took liberties. made me look better on canvas than real life. i'm grateful for that incredibly sur ream and humbling experience.

>> did he show the suffering have you been through, the recovery, did he show that in the painting? >> i had some blue hair in it. i think it definitely highlighted some of the struggles and challenges for sure. i think he covered it pretty well in the eyes. i think the eyes kind of tell a story. >> mark: he is great absolutely with that. what's it like for team 43? what's it network like same people networking and reaching out to others. talk to me about it? >> team 43 is a group of absolute leaders and influencers in this world. it's some of the most brave and important men and women i have ever been a part of. and i are ever gotten to know. the stories are incredibly diverse, just as much as the people. and their struggles, their challenges are all important. and the fact is that everyone is improving. everyone is continuing to move forward and we grow off of each other. >> quickly, president bush, what is he like? >> i love the man. is he hilarious. i love the man. >> dr. siegel: ainsley, back to you. >> thank you so much. what a special group. please thank him for his service.
