been saying that trump created this. and take, you know, tried to bring the temperature down and try to assuage years because because there are a lot of those circulating. it is a very serious story for thanksgiving but something we have to deal with as a country, unfortunately. >> mike: karoline leavitt with ed trump transition with president trump as example, dangerous accept intimidation and violence will not detour us. it is not the official paying the price in many cases they have young families but what you make of this threat? >> i think one, obviously we should condemn political violence and has no place in our country or really any conversation. and whether right, left, center, we should not tolerate such acts and i hope investigated to the full extent as we don't necessarily known at the home ground or overseas. but i think as we are celebrating thanksgiving, happy thanksgiving to you both.

let's look around the table and remember we are human beings. we are not just politics. i think we have forgotten that and the political rhetoric so divisive and so muddy, it is important to remember families are involved here. they are people at the core not just at their job or politics. and i think as a country it would benefit us to remember we have the same goals and want to leave this place better than we found it. we may not agree had to get there but the crux of it we should remember the humanity element and essentially on the same team when it comes to what is best for the country. >> mike: a manic, the next topic the aftermath of vice president kamala harris' election loss and senior advisor says they are pulling internally and suggested she was never in the lead. let's play him. >> i think it surprise people because they were public polls that came out late september and early october showing the leads we never saw.

when kamala harris became the nominations behind, climbed back know joe and ethan postdebate, we still had ourselves down in the battleground states. but very close. >> mike: lauren, what is your assessment of that? >> i think this is a pretty widespread phenomenon. kamala harris if she had a margin of error lead and a handful of swing states some week in october, that is something we should not have drawn too many conclusions from in the first place. so part of what we saw both campaigns did not want to be overconfident, but they also didn't want to depress their voters and wanted to get them to the polls. certainly the circumspect actions half to be mostly among democrats. i don't think the election was a case have people coming out in droves because the absolutely necessarily loved donald trump. you know, he has disliked by a

lot of the country, but because the people rejected the agenda of democrats that you won so resoundingly. >> mike: lorna, was the reality of this was a changed reaction and vice president harris failed to say how she would change from president biden? >> in a lot of ways, yes but it stems from the fact you had advisors from the biden campaign and the biden team advising harris now. so i do think she was in a lot of ways set up for failure. you had general malate and anita dunn, pushing president biden with that debate in june and wie lead architects for think harris campaign and i think a lot of mismanagement there. and yes, i think pretty much any republican running would have likely -- i think this is a case of change in the economy. >> mike: to a right, have a

immigrants and drugs into the country. clearly this is the pressure needed to hold mexico's feet to the fire. what do you think that the mexican president saying she agreed to stop migration through mexico into the united states? >> you know, i remain skeptical and the reason why, if you look with the president said in new mexico should, she said she will respond with their own tariffs. she is also blaming the united states for the drug consumption through the borders. and now she says she will stop migration. one thing you have to keep in mind with the viewers, cartels controlled the flow of drugs going from mexico into the united states. of course, what we seen last year in january, slow flow of migration of the southern border. what i mean is very discreet how people cross the border. they want to avoid all the national attention by having thousands come across the border all at once. that is why we see groups 200 or

300 daily. i remain skeptical and i hope it is true they can stop migration but i think it relies on our federal government and new administration to put pressure on mexico to have that leverage to stop the flow of people and drugs of fentanyl coming across the border. >> julie: i am glad you brought up skepticism because you are reading my mind. she responded that mexico would retaliate just like you mentioned with tariffs have its own if trump follows through on his promise. it took her days to acknowledge trump's presidential win. she did not want him to win because she didn't want the pressure on the mexico. since the borders essentially open for the last four years. do you think mexico is hand for a rude awakening? >> i think so. i think different times now with a different leader with pressure and tom homan has made it very clear that you will stop the

flow of mass migration and you will stop the flow of drugs coming across the border. of course, again, this goes back to the cartels who are very powerful. they have a lot of corruption and control the flow of people across the border. that has been $1 billion industry smuggling into the united states. i'm curious how they will adapt. one thing i will say those at the southern border could potentially smuggle. people are desperate in mexico alone when million people are waiting currently in mexico, southern mexico. they will not stay in mexico for a good but at some point they will try to make a way to the united states whether smuggled or tried to circumvent and that is one thing we are doing in texas is closely monitoring the activity. >> julie: up until now no deterrent and the illegals that want to come into this country like you mention want to join 1.4 million already here. the mexican president responded

to the claims and i want to put it up on the screen, we reiterate that mexico's position is not a closed border but to build bridges between governments between peoples but what bridges does she want to build exactly? this is about illegal immigration and of course united states and mexico want to build being diplomatic and working together but by working together, that does not mean the flow of emigration. it means keep them in mexico like title 42 once had. do you think he will bring back title 42? do you think it will help? he has to make up for years have a plane mass care. >> i deftly have to have a remain a mexico policy in place and people mexico as they await asylum hearings. we cannot sustain the flow people keep coming across the border and especially mass deportations. that will require federal resources to carry out that task. do you have to put a policy in place to stop mass migration.

asylum hearings but again the cooperation of mexico. that they really want to, they can put soldiers at the southern border to stop people from entering their country and that will help us tremendously in texas, especially the united states. that requires cooperation and again, i remain skeptical how that will happen. we do need a change but again, we are going to have an uphill battle between the united states and mexico. >> julie: just to be clear when we talk mass deportation because the democrats want to talk how trump wants to get rid of every single immigrant in the united states but he is focusing on the criminals. in the hundreds of thousands and it is absolutely out of control and that is the real focus. if mexico were to put security at the borders, it would showed true faith they intend to work with the u.s. we will wait to see if they hold to bat. chris olivarez, thank you for joining us today. >> likewise, julie periods bill

pressure off u.s. military forces. we have had marines and amphibious groups close to lebanon for quite a while. that will ease those options a little bit as well periods payment lead negotiator is hopeful for cutting a deal with hamas in terms of cease-fire. how hopeful of you are you? >> i hope that works that we have seen hamas has not agreed to anything in a year. and hamas could end the war and get more aid into their own people tomorrow, today immediately. we have yet to see hamas really agreeing to anything at all or even say how many hostages they have left. i don't know what it will take but i hope the trump team and a strong position to get more out of hamas then biden data. >> mike: from the war to ukraine to "wall street journal" biden to leave billions for ukraine weapons and the united states cannot spend the money authorized to kyiv by

january 20th, officials acknowledge. what is your reaction to that? >> you know, i am very much in favor of ukraine having a very strong defense and military capability right now. some things on that list topping up to three patriot missile defense batteries and more fabulous switchblade attack weapons and along with things because ukraine needs to be in a position where they can hold that border and have very strong leverage for whatever comes next. we need ukraine to be in a strong position as the trump team comes end. trump has already talking behind the scenes with european leaders what the next steps are. >> mike: russia's deputy foreign minister issuing a warning to the united states about sending more weapons to the united states. how do you assess that threat? >> oh my gosh, i have lost count how many times putin and russia have complained about escalation. every time we send anything whether abrams tank or f-16 or

blankets and vests and putin would be upset. the fact is putin has limited options. china has all this energy so you cannot risk escalation due to them. in a nuclear weapon he knows would love that radiation onto russia. these are empty threats he's tried sabotaging europe and tried missiles to scare the west and get us to back off. now he knows the trump team is coming, it is crunch time. these are just propaganda posturing threats out of putin. i'm not impressed with the new russian missile either. >> mike: we will leave it there met, dr. rebecca grant, have a wonderful day. >> thank you. >> julie: as americans do last-minute grocery shopping i hope you are done grocery shopping by now and prepare your thanksgiving your thanksgiving day nails. do you can expect to pay more than years past. inflation under president biden

better. i see benefits with patients on it not with back pain and that could help in terms of the cost of treatment for those issues and also be more productive and have a higher quality of life. but then that has to be balanced, too. rfk jr. has expressed concerns because first, bc the short tern long-term harm so that has to be assessed between the doctor and the patient as well. but then the cost and the culture that we are more focused perhaps on drugs, rather than the things that might help long term healthy diet and exercise. i think these two things can coexist and not necessarily exclusive. we should focus on those things, and we should consider overall culture. but i think the greatest risk areas relate to the taxpayer, may be, as opposed to health, how much will this cost? because right now the reason people cannot afford these drugs is because they are priced so highly. that price could still get
