>> kayleigh: breaking this past hour, the judge and president-elect to trump's new york criminal case is now agreeing to delay his sentencing indefinitely. judge juan merchan is also granting the tr trump team's request to file a motion to dismiss the case entirely. a new sentencing date has not been set, and merchan says he will hold off on any immunity decision until arguments from both sides have been reviewed. trump spokesman steven cheung reacting with a statement. ". "indecisive win for president trump, the hooks manhattan case is now fully stayed and sentencing is adjourned. president trump won a landslide victory as the american people have issued a mandate to return him to office and dispose of all remnants of the legal case witch hunt. we are focused on making america great again." that is where the focus should be on this friday. hello, everyone. this is "fox & friends" dumb xp 26. i'm kayleigh mcenany here with my cohost, emily compagno.

also here with us, dagen mcdowell, tammy bruce, fox news contributor and author of "fear itself," and todd piro, cohost of "fox & friends first." let's bring in kerri urbahn. the procedural posture of this case, there was supposed to be a sentencing on november 26. they say that our constitutional impediments. after all he's about to be the president, it should be dismissed entirely. now we await the motions on december 2nd to that end. mark levin made this point to me, and i think it is an important one. bragg could have moved to dismiss this case. the president's lawyers have to effectively ask to dismiss. this case is dead, waiting for dismissal. so what is merchan waiting for? >> that's a great point. while today is certainly a positive development for the trump team, we need to continue to exercise caution in how we

approach what judge merchan is going to do with these arguments are in before him. we already know what both sides are doing. donald trump is arguing it should be thrown out for a number of reasons. the scotus immunity case, the fact that donald trump became president, which raises all kinds of constitutional questions. the fact that the department of justice has a policy that you can't indict, prosecute a sitting president, and that in the spirit of that policy the state of new york should take the same approach. and alvin bragg's office has already laid out their argument. they said completely openly last week in the letter they submitted to the court that they plan to oppose trump's request to throw out the case. the reason i think we need to exercise caution is because at every step of the way, jud judge merchan has ruled against donald trump one way or the other. legally and politically he should throw out the case. it is a loser for so many reasons, and both alvin bragg's office and i would say judge merchan have manipulated the law along the way in order to get the result they wanted.

but we don't know what's going happen, and in fact, if he were still to rule against donald trump and denied his motion to dismiss, you could still see a sentencing date set before inauguration day. it would be foolish, but my only point is let's wait and see what happens here. >> kayleigh: that's wild, a sentencing before inauguration day. at that point i would think we would get some sort of supreme court intervention. kerri, you talk about the reasons that should be dismissed. i want to pull up "the new york times." we have something called prosecutorial discretion in this country. prosecutors sit down with this case similarly situated. should i bring it? no friend of donald trump, that "the new york times." the esteemed gray lady. here's what they found. a review with experts strongly suggests that new york state's prosecutors have never before filed an election law case involving a federal campaign, bring an untested case against anyone, let alone a former president of the united states, now president-elect.

it carries the risk a court could throw out or narrow the case. the cases brought by the prosecutor. the judge did not grant the motion to dismiss. now judge merchan is sitting by after the election by the american people. why have the safeguards failed donald trump from day one in bragg's office? >> because both bragg and merchan are operating completely as political animals. it's that simple. the legal system at this point is a facade for political operation when it comes to donald trump. and this is all against the backdrop of what's happening with daniel penny, the priorities of those running law enforcement in new york city and the state overall are upside down. by the way, kayleigh, when i say sentencing before inauguration day, what i mean by that is in theory judge merchan could set a sentencing date we could slap a fine on donald trump, for instance, and be done with the whole thing. the worst thing he could do, of course, outside of not dismissing the case, would be to

hold the sentencing over donald trump's head throughout his presidency. which would be unfair to anyone. but the earlier question about why this case is a complete loser on so many levels, let's go over some of these facts. alvin bragg's office a minute belated the statute of limitations to even get this case going again in the first place. alvin bragg's office manipulative the law by converting misdemeanors into felonies in a way that has never been done before in the state of new york, to anyone. and i would say that the judgment of belated justice itself when he denied donald trump the opportunity to even know what he was being convicted of. we still don't know what the underlying felonies were and are. so those are just some of the reasons why this case should be thrown out, and hopefully judge merchan will be a wise both legally and politically and do the right thing and do just that. >> kayleigh: it was called a zombie case for a reason but maybe he wanted to be time man of the year. who knows?

thank you. emily, what struck me right there was when she mentioned the new york facade of a front for legal office. you have someone like trump who has recourse. he's about to be president. you think of someone like daniel penny who has no recourse if things don't go his way, in the way of what appears to be justice. >> emily: kerri of course did a phenomenal job, so i will just add this. this judge's 1090 accepted, that was the prosecution's timeline. defense wanted to submit the motion to dismiss a bit later on the 20th. so just think about that, essentially the defense has 18 days less than they wanted to compile and submit their motion to dismiss on this frankly novel but, you could argue, clear case. that being said, think about the bar this defense team has to overcome. as kerri said, they are political animals. not only the legal threshold that absolutely the political animal that is facing them down that is and always

anti-donald trump. to their motion to dismiss, they have a very truncated timeline to compile the facade that this is based on, the legal inaccuracies, the deficiencies, the fraud, and then have their case answered. but to kerri's point, the judge can come back and simply deny the motion to dismiss, which would be absolutely ridiculous, and then levy some type of nominal sentence that would enable the democrats to crow about the conviction. final quick point, the georgia case that is ongoing, quietly, that court took off a defense argument or an oral argument for the defense challenge off the counter without vaccination. so it seems as if georgia might be trying to fade away into the backdrop, knowing how unconstitutional these cases are to begin with and moving forward would be. and now perhaps new york -- i hope they are just trying to save face by the judge being able to grant the motion to dismiss rather than d.a. alvin bragg bring it himself as he should have, that this would enable them to say, we fought hard, that the judge ruled in

donald trump's favor. that's my last bastion of hope i'm clinging to that would help me restore some face in this all but just criminal justice system here in the state. >> kayleigh: i do have faith in the united states supreme court, and mark levin mentioned at some point you could ask scotus to intervene. they might be champing at the bit to intervene in what could be a political prosecution. >> todd: that would involve the law that they set out on presidential immunity. think of this as a venn diagram with all due respect to kamala harris. presidential immunity is the tiny circle. they already have a motion to vacate on the presidential immunity argument. motion to dismiss is the entire case. that said, the motion to dismiss will involve some elements of presidential immunity. so that is the law. on the politics of it, i disagree with everybody here, because i have talked to a lot of liberals. they are still out for blood. they are so upset with what happened on november 5th, they cannot accept what happened on

november 5th. they are looking for any kind of a win. they want him behind bars. realistically, that's never going to happen. but they do want some pound of flesh, and that pound of flesh could be a sentencing, whether it is a fine or not. to your point, it's the ability for them to say he is a convicted felon, and they can call him convicted felon president trump. >> emily: answer me this, if he doesn't grant the motion to dismiss but then trump can appeal that in the entire thing would be held while the supreme court then took it on, right? that's another option. >> kayleigh: i think they're trying to avoid the appeal. then you get the title of convicted felon. >> todd: that's their goal. >> kayleigh: dagen -- stop giving me venn diagram nightmares. [laughter] i want to bring up the verdict of the american people, and that's the popular vote count for donald trump. you can see it has exceeded 76 million, though you have the left trying to pooh-pooh that.

lawfare was a big part of that. >> tammy: virtually every state moved further right. i think -- i went back and looked. andy mccarthy in april of 2023, more than a year and half ago, said this case at the indictment stage should have been dismissed. because the indictment itself never stated the underlying crime that was used to bootstrap 34 time-barred misdemeanors into 34 felonies, which is exactly what kerri was talking about. so it should have gone away before it ever went to trial. but i think about and the voters think about all of the resources and man-hours spent pursuing this fraudulent case, this legal warfare against donald trump, and all of the victims in

new york city who alvin bragg did not stand up for. and all of the victims of crimes who have not seen justice, because he was pursuing something for his own political gain. sewage lagoon of liberalism. do not move here, get the hell out if you can. >> tammy: just like none of us would have wanted what happened in 2020 to happen with the impact on the country. but in a horrible way it was necessary for americans to see what the democrats were capable of, and why trump was needed. this is similar. americans for generations have complained about an unfair justice system, that it's just not fair, you get into public defenders, you have to plead guilty to something or not guilty ads, you have no real recourse unless you've got money. you can't really appeal. this is one of those examples. every day, that americans have realized now you see what we've been dealing with.

the irony is for new york and bragg and merchan, that is why trump is now president, because what they have done and what they represent. >> kayleigh: well, we went from venn diagrams two sewage lagoons. it's friday, guys. coming up, trump has chosen pam bondi for attorney general and even liberals are telling people to watch out, because she is just that qualified. n homeowner, car payments are getting out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans.

>> kayleigh: president-elect trumpet naming former florida attorney general pam bondi as his pick for attorney general of the united states. she is a prosecutor with nearly 20 years of experience, including eight years as florida's top law-enforcement official. she was one of the lawyers who defended trump during his first senate impeachment trial, and the president-elect is saying this. "pam will focus the doj to its

intended purpose of fighting crime in making america safe again. i have known pam for many years. she is smart and tough and is in america first fighter who will do a terrific job as attorney general." but not everyone is happy about the pick. one msnbc gas claims bondi is "dangerous" because she is qualified. >> pam bondi is exactly what i was saying in the last segment that we should all fear, because she is competent. we may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job. so if anyone on the democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking maybe matt gaetz will screw this up and it'll give us some time, no. pam bondi knows what she's doing. >> kayleigh: why does one tear competency cannot quite a question. emily, i've known pam for a long time. we are both from florida. she's wonderful, she's a fighter, she has this really kind the near about her. but she's a fighter and she knows how to do the job. >> emily: she's accomplished a significant amount. i wanted to point out a couple things because it is directly

relative to why she will be successful as united states attorney general. when she was the ag of florida, florida -- they were called pill mills. of the top 100 illicit physicians participating in this in the country, 98 were in florida. within one year, zero where. the cdc at that time called it an unprecedented national achievement. essentially she came to the helm, targeted what needed to be done, and she got it done, including reducing opioid deaths by over half because the holistic approach. here's something that came in and didn't effectively say, i'm attacking it with a huge constellation of resources and creativity and she got it done. the second thing i found so impressive, she overhauled the state medicaid fraud unit and she created a different class, essentially, dealing with synthetic opioids and marijuana

and drugs. meaning she creatively change the law to account for creative changing drugs. all the time we talk about how on this couch the law has not caught up to technological advances in drugs and things happening in real life. by overhauling a bloated part of the agency, she got the job done even more. if this happens nationally, bravo and i know it well. >> kayleigh: there's an interesting back story to her time enforcing the law. it's who she appointed for that position. i want to bring in the voice of the palm beach state attorney. this is someone who is a democrat, who challenged pam bondi. listen to what happened. seco iran against her for attorney general florida in 2010, but i lost in the democratic primary. we became friends on the campaign trail. after she won the general election, she hired me to be her drug czar because i was campaigning on fighting the opioid epidemic. so when she hired me it was controversial because they

didn't want her to hire a former state senator, a democrat, to be this drug czar position. republicans got in her face. there was one party chair who put a finger in her face and said, how dare you do this. she wasn't going to take that. she doesn't take guff from anyone. she put a finger in his face. she is very loyal, and she is not a natural partisan. >> kayleigh: i find that fascinating. a party chair came up and said, why are you hiring this guy he was a democrat cannot she hired he was best for the job, stood up for that come up with the state of florida first. >> tammy: this is what you get when you move slightly out of the realm of the entrenched elite, where there is a pattern, a behavior that is expected. rituals and habit. so you have people who are tremendously accomplished, who know what they're doing, but because they are not entrenched in that framework, they do naturally think out-of-the-box. that is what all of his appointees really represent,

individuals who are answerable to the american people, whom he has seen -- she took on that first impeachment dynamic when all the focus was to make it too dangerous to support the president. and she was still right there. i will remind everyone that she also benefited from sarah palin's endorsement when she ran for attorney general. so it's that kind of outsider framework that i think has made a big difference here, and you're going to see that as the attorney general. it's going be fabulous. >> kayleigh: you have susie wiles susie wiles, pam bondi, karoline leavitt, all of which are women, and the list goes on. there are several more women who have been appointed. pam bondi took on mark cuban, who said trump doesn't surround himself with smart women. watch. >> that was the greatest gift, by saying something so ignorant and stupid. so i have a message for mark cuban. from all of us here tonight, underestimate us. this is going to be fun. [cheers and applause]

>> kayleigh: touche, dagen. >> dagen: mark cuban, he is a... steaming sack of possum porridge. [laughter] that was from the heart. trump needed a mulligan on the attorney general pick, and he is now on the green in one shot. pam bondi has not only been great at her job, she's a great communicator, and it will be interesting to see how the left, the liberals, the democrats, try to destroy this incredibly accomplished woman. however, it will say more about their desperation and their fear of what she will uncover in terms of the rot inside of the department of justice, more than it will ever say about the great pam bondi. >> kayleigh: tod? >> todd: i would just say, think about her track record on drugs. at that 200 track record on

human trafficking, and combine that with tom homan. that is a recipe for success and it's going to send the cartels, who have been getting rich off of both of those, running. that's huge for our country. >> kayleigh: that would be huge to see. the democratic mayor of denver's warning trump of tiananmen square moments if he carries out his mass deportation plan. at next. my symptoms got worse over time. my eye doctor explained the root was inflammation—so he prescribed xiidra. xiidra works differently. xiidra targets inflammation. over-the-counter drops don't do this. they only hit pause on my symptoms. but twice-daily xiidra gives me lasting relief. xiidra treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. don't use if allergic to xiidra and seek medical help if needed. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort, blurred vision, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. before using xiidra, remove contact lenses and wait fifteen minutes before re-inserting. dry eye over and over?

>> emily: another democratic leader is going to d5 president-elect trump's efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and surrounding crime. denver mayor mike johnston warning trump of "tiananmen square moments" if he carries out his mass deportation plans that will begin with criminally convicted. telling a local news outlet, "more of us at the county line to keep them out. you would have 50 50,000 denvers

they are. you would have every one of those highland moms he came out for the migrants, and you do not want to mess with them," in the worst analogy possible as the democratic mayor is comparing trump's proposed vocation policies that represent overwhelming support by america's population to a dictatorial government oppression. here you are watching protesters in tiananmen square that were demanding political and economic reforms against the ccp. on june 4th, 1989, troops at the behest of the ccp opened fire on students and workers in and around beijing's tiananmen square. many people were killed. estimates range from the hundreds to the thousands, and the massacre on those protests produced one of the most iconic photos of the 20th century, a lone protester standing in front of a line of army tanks. and now johnston warning that could happen here? that's what's going on?

the president-elect enforces immigration law, enforces the existing immigration law? and he's refusing to back down on his ridiculous stance, saying this. "the short answer is we want change that because those are our core values, and we are not going to sell out those values to anyone. we are not going to be bullied into changing them. i think we are going to continue to be a welcoming, open, bighearted city it's going to stand by our values." does that mean, kayleigh, he's also going to stand by the murders, the savage murders and rapes, like of laken riley and jocelyn nungaray and bambi larson connect the list goes on. i'm curious if in referencing soccer moms that he has the heart within to reference those innocent young lost lives at the behest of those president trump has vowed to get rid of. >> kayleigh: fantastic question. you want to give century to those here illegally. they love tiananmen square references.

do you remember when trump went to the church and held up the bible? they had this headline, from tiananmen square to lafayette square, then we found out the inspector general said no, and they love these analogies. but he thinks 50,000 people are going to show up to protest mass deportation, including moms? we have heard this before. moms were supposedly only talking about abortion at the kitchen table. they were going to show up and vote for kamala. did not happen. trump won suburban white women out right and then this happens in his backyard. you have the colorado gazette internal emails showing venezuelan gang tren de aragua i'd denver for the u.s. headquarters. tren de aragua says let's go see mary johnson, he'll give a safe harbor. according to the gazette, they've denied this, but that's happening in your streets and you say it is tiananmen square to export and deport these people? crazy. >> emily: it's the new gotham city, dagen. the people he's referencing that he thinks he understands even though they voted opposite have

been crying about the lack of resources that have been wasted on these illegal immigrants, especially in the emergency health care system where have been overloaded by that population. >> dagen: right, and there's been a shift of resources for the illegal migrants. andan end illegal alien from venezuela was charged with rapig a 14-year-old girl right near denver. but this is the priority of the mayor of denver? if president trump has a true mandate, it's to close the border and deport millions of dangerous illegal migrants. he is equating, the mayor, freedom fighters if you are protecting criminals in this country, and shielding lawbreakers, people who should not be allowed in this country. that's what the mayor is talking about. but i do appreciate that it is

not enough for the liberals and democrats to be kind of an odious ignoramus in private, that they have to go out and they've got a bullhorn. dangerous idiocy in public, which they don't understand, have any concept or context of history. so please keep talking. we know who you are. >> emily: it's the spartacus moments, but they fall flat. at the point. >> todd: we need to ignore this bloviating and bluster. in reality, these leftists are doing it to placate the ex-mob that is upset that trump won. follow the law. tom homan and donald trump are going to articulate their plan, and there is nothing legally that all these leftist mayors can do to stop them. yes, they cannot cooperate, and all that does is make it harder for i.c.e. to do its job. then they take on a lot more danger. but they cannot actively interfere. if they do, pam bondi, it is

your turn. arrest them. >> tammy: and not everything is wonderful in denver. from a story in june in the denver gazette, for the past 18 months at that .42000 immigrants from central and south america had traveled to denver specifically. not all of colorado. forcing the city to cut services and freeze hiring in areas in order to pay for the illegal immigrants and their care. in the meantime they have spent $72 million of city taxes to pay for that, and they are upset because they have only received $17 million in state and federal reimbursements. so it's not about tanks that are going to go to denver, it's going to be under the trump administration. likely, a refusal to reimburse these kinds of funds when you are not cooperating with federal officials. that's going to hurt the mayor who imagines in his leftist wish fantasy of more victimhood, more

fear, and more violence. it's not going to happen, but america will get better. >> emily: they're going to continue to be unsafe and broke. >> tammy: correct. >> emily: after trump's victory, a new poll shows that the party's morale, their party, to new lows. wdaythat's next. many were shocked to learn they've been paying 22% on their credit card balances. and if payments were late, as much as 30%. that's over three times the interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower rate newday home loan. save hundreds a month, thousands a year. if you're living with dry amd, you may be at risk for developing geographic atrophy, or ga. ga can be unpredictable—and progress rapidly—leading to irreversible vision loss. now there's something you can do to... ♪ ( slow. it. down.) ♪

♪ ♪ >> emily: well, following president-elect trump's victory, the democrat pessimism about their party's future is now higher than ever, higher than at any point over the last eight years. a new pew research poll found that nearly half of democrats have a pessimistic view of the party's future. that is the lowest they have

been, as i just said, at any point in the last eight years. but i wonder, tammy, if the optimism about the future is probably at an all-time high given that the president-elect -- >> tammy: can be the only one but i have a lot of friends still on the left, classical liberals. they voted for kamala because that's what you have to do, but then calling and saying, i'm really excited about what's coming up. that they are excited that trump actually won. they're not afraid of that, they are excited about the future, that the party -- they know that it's lost, because they feel that way. i thought that was a very telling kind of environment. you have kamala voters who are excited and intrigued by the victory. >> emily: i like a visual analogy. it's like a snake shedding, molting its skin, and these guys emerging and seeing the caucus that is the democrat party, given what they had just done and represented, but they looking forward to a new future. perhaps a new future for the

democrat party if indeed they learn from this teaching moment. >> todd: but so many of the party power brokers have not gotten that memo yet. they are still light, trump's hitler. we are past that. the reason trump won, the economy and immigration, and until they realize that they're going to be in trouble. and everything they need to realize, on november 5th, woke died. if they want to win again, they need to become the party of the middle class or at least try. i don't know if they can. although woke stuff needs to go, because woke died on november 5th. >> kayleigh: another problem is democrats have such an old political class. one told the "politico" playbook, our class is also fighting. i love that, they won't leave and we can't kick them out. but republicans are super optimistic. i brought a quote from my dad. he sent me this right after election day. "every day this guy seems clear, the air seems crisper, t the eys

shine brighter and the birds see a more melodious tune." >> emily: it felt like oz, black and white into color. i want to come to the business aspect. you host a popular show on fox business, and if you see that in the economic realm, if people have talked about that political ramification for the party, sharing that optimism for the future financially and economically. >> dagen: even just looking at what elon and vivek are about to do -- like we are on a first-name basis. i joke. what they are going to do with just removing regulation, that is going to alleviate, particularly on small busi businesses. i'm the child of two people who ran a wholesale grocery business with 25 employees. it's going to alleviate a burden on business from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea, in a way that you can't even imagine

right now. it will just make life and work and living so much easier, and it will create such great prosperity for the united united states, that i don't even think we can wrap our heads around it. but instead of looking up and ahead and seeing brighter days, the democrats, at least the leadership, they got their heads buried in the dirt, because they can't imagine that someone who they vilified so mightily for so many years is actually back in office. but to go back to the mayor of denver, what he didn't realize is it used to be you would gain in popularity in the democratic party. if trump set up, you'd say down, and you would get huzzahs from your ilk. and that doesn't work anymore. it's like, what do we even say anymore? >> emily: how about

them? writing in a scathing letter to secretary blinken, "i'm concerned that the department is catering to federal employees are personally devastated by the normal functioning of american democracy through the provision of government-funded mental health counseling, because kamala harris was not elected president of the united states." he continues, "it is disturbing that ostensibly nonpartisan government officials would suffer a personal meltdown over the results of a free and fair election. it is unacceptable that the department accommodates this behavior and subsidizes it with taxpayer dollars." todd, i immediately thought of my time on college campuses where kids are given emotional support animals during exam time. the only difference, these are foreign service officers of the united states. how do they handle foreign adversaries if they can't handle democracy? >> todd: that's a question. i love every part of his letter except "ostensibly nonpartisan government officials."

he knows he's being tongue-in-cheek. because 92% of the individuals in d.c. voted for one kamala harris. they are scared for their jobs, because every part of d.c., regardless of whether it is a republican or democrat administration, is democrat. everybody who works in those government offices is by and large a democrat. they know trump and d.o.g.e. are coming after them. they are going to lose their jobs if they don't tow the company line, which is being nonpartisan, which is what you're supposed to be the first place. >> kayleigh: d.c., one of the few areas in the country that did not turn right, to your point. this is great reporting on their part. they say sources described a formal meeting held for it near eastern affairs bureau staffers as a crying session over trump's win create an agency wide email also touted an insightful webinar delving into effective stress management techniques to help navigate these challenging times. this is taxpayer money, and they

are crying over trump. >> dagen: these are the same type of people who won't go back into the office. not 1 out of 24 agencies in one quarter last year had even half of the staff back in federal office buildings. not one. so you are asking to lose your job, quite frankly. but i do see the need in this. if it alleviates the pain that friends and family members experience because these individuals have to basically find their therapy by attacking and yelling at people close to them, which i personally have experienced. like, you know, getting phone calls and getting screamed out about mass deportation. >> kayleigh: the free beacon also reports that the short answer is we won't change that because those are our core values.

we are not going to sell out not going to be bullied into changing them. but the part i was going to highlight on that screen was one u.s. official with knowledge of the sessions said that, during the biden-harris term in office, there's been an over emphasis on people's feelings, often with the college campus-like forever. this is the federal government. >> tammy: you can imagine how appealing this is to foreign agents in the country. you have foreign service workers who are vulnerable, who are crying during the day, because they hate who became president. they hate what the country is doing. suddenly they have become, i think, a more viable mark if you want to get somebody who is unhappy. but i really like i.c.e. asking issa asking what materials were used and what was the agenda. they're not talking about trying to get over something. they are organizing. that's what i contend, having come from the left. you get people together and there is a gathering of trying to understand what your feelings

are, it is always about organizing how to get back at people, how to make something as you want it to be. it's not about coping. it's about how to resist. this is why i love this. what materials were used? what was the agenda? are you doing this overseas? that kind of stuff. that's what we are going to find out. it's going to be very educational. >> kayleigh: emily, what kills me is what we don't know. we know these cry sessions -- we know from three weeks ago a fema official is skipping over trump houses. what don't we know that happens in this vast bureaucracy? >> emily: totally. january 20th cannot come fast enough, first of all. i also want to say, if we get an answer and if the answer is no, it was free and voluntary, i want you all to remember that you pay for it anyway. because anyone that went to that meeting, you are paying their salary, paying for any materials that were used. do they take leave for it? we have baked into our system appropriate leads, if someone is suffering a mental issue and

needs to remove themselves, that is what the leave is for. so just know that you are paying for this no matter what, and the cost is in the billions, as we learn every day for opening the books, and now d.o.g.e. moving forward. trash rolls downhill. remember how the reports that kamala harris, upon receiving an intelligence community report, instead of focusing on the substantive issue, she focused on how someone phrased or referred to a female foreign leader. remember that? that was her take away. so everything is based on feelings and not based on actions. everything is going to change come january 20th. until then, i will be toasting to liberal tears. >> todd: "trash rolls downhill" is a dagen line. >> emily: i didn't want to use the word "crap" i said what i thought was a better word. [laughter] >> kayleigh: i would love to know if these guys cry in front of russian or iranian operatives.
