rachel: well, it's the 9:00

a.m. hour on "fox & friends" weekend starting with a fox news alert. all eyes are on the vatican right now as pope francis gives a public message. we're going to have the latest on his condition, coming up. >> and the white house says we could soon see a peace deal between ukraine and russia as soon as this week. meantime, president trump having lots of meeting with world leaders. you see him right there with justin trudeau, he's also meeting with a pair from europe this week. >> plus, trump shares a message of unity with democrats. we'll have that moment. the final hour of "fox & friends weekend" starts right now. we're starting with a fox news alert. we're paying close attention to the health of pope francis this morning as vatican says he had a restful night but remains in critical condition after suffering a respiratory crisis on saturday. >> correspondent jeff paul just got to rome and joins us right

now, just outside the hospital where the pontiff is resting at this hour. hi, jeff. >> reporter: hey, there. well, it's truly a somber feeling outside of the hospital in rome where pope francis is currently recovering. we've seen lots of people showing up to the medical center to pray for the pope especially after the vatican used two words they haven't used before, critical condition to describe the pope's health but even with tthat being said we know from te latest update that the pope today is awake, he is receiving oxygen but he's breathing on his own and he's doing well enough to post on social media today, just a little while ago, posting this on x, saying in part that basically thanking people for their closeness and prayers that are coming in from all over the world. on top of that, we are learning the pope, again, he is awake, he's eating. officials said the crisis is over, at least for now. the 88-year-old has been receiving high flows of oxygen to help him breathe after suffering from a prolonged

asthmaic press tori crisis, he also -- respiratory crisis, he also received blood tranfusions due to a low blood platelet count. he's been receiving treatment for double pneumonia and lung infection. he has been fully conscious, he's been eating, working and reading. those who have been gathering both here at the hospital and at st. peter's square say they feel it's very important to show up and make the trip. >> i came here for the pope. and it's a symbolic time and i think that all of the prayers and the support that he can get, we must, must -- we must support the pope at t moment. the voice of the pope is so important at the moment. the world is full of hatred and he's a voice of love. he ebbin echos what christ tolds

2,000 years ago so we need him a lot and we hope that he will be healthy very soon. >> reporter: now, there are a few factors impacting his condition and his road to recovery. he's 88 years old and doctors have said his age makes his condition a bit touch and go at times. he's ho also had a large portiof one of his lungs removed when he was young. that adds to his fragile state. the white house is aware. president trump has been briefed on saturday about the latest with pope francis is condition and press secretary caroline leavitt saying they are all praying for him. >> thank you so much. we appreciate that. rachel: we catholics are accustomed to keeping vigil on popes in these conditions and so we do that. >> absolutely right. rachel: we're going to move to this which is another fox news alert. the white house says a peace deal in ukraine could come as soon as this week as the president continues high stakes

discussions with leaders from around the world. >> madeleine rivera has the details from washington. madeleine. >> reporter: hi, guys, good morning. two european leaders, french president emanuel macron and u.k. prime minister are meeting. they are being told you cannot be weak in the face of president putin, it's not you, not what you're made of and not in your interest. canada's prime minister, justin trudeau, and president trump addressed the war during a phone call yesterday. a readout about the conversation states prime minister trudeau echoed president trump's desire to see an toned the war and acknowledged president trump is the only world leader who can push through a just and lasting peace. there are concerns the president could rush into a deal that would give russia an upper hand. the president has been critical

of president zelenskyy and the white house pushed for an agreement that would grant the u.s. access to ukraine's rare minerals as ken sta ken station. has -- compensation the u.s. has given ukraine. >> i'm trying to get the money back or secured because europe has given $100 billion. the united states has given $350 billion. because we had a stupid, incompetent president and administration. 350. but here's worse. europe gave it in the form of a loan. they get their money back. we gave it in the form of nothing. >> reporter: but the rare minerals agreement would not be a guarantee of future aid for the war and ukraine wants security guarantees before any talks with russia. >> thank you, maddi, we

appreciate that. rachel: i don't think we should underestimate this. this was a remarkable week in two ways. we're watching what's happening with the pope, something could happen there which is as you said international news, no doubt about it, has political as well as religious implications but also peace in ukraine, that is something that in one month he's been in office, president trump, and if the europeans don't give donald trump the nobel peace prize and they've been talking about how they don't want to, even if he does this, it completely delegitimizes that price forever. it means nothing. they gave it to barack obama in one month in office. donald trump negotiates not just peace, but peace for a war in which a million young men on the ukraine side and on the russian side, these are all sons and brothers, it's just amazing what

donald trump has done and this is something really remarkable. >> of course, donald trump deserved it for the abraham accord which was the most significant movement we've seen in an intractable, impossible middle east conflict going back decades and one of the most heart breaking things about the biden administration was that it interrupted that process and if donald trump had had another four years consecutive to the previous four years, he probably would have brought along saudi arabia and the rest of the middle east where iran wouldn't have been able to raise its ugly head and there would be a true unified vision for the middle east and we're on track to get back to that. rachel: and he said, if i had been president, you wouldn't have had october 7th, if i had been president there would have been no ukraine war, so yeah. >> as he likes to say, it's a common sense agenda. he was at cpac this weekend,

yesterday, where he laid into his common sense agenda. >> our party has become the proud voice of hard working citizens of every race, religion, color and creed. and i think one of the main reasons, not that we're conservative or not that we're anything else, we are the party of common sense. we're liberating communities like aurora, colorado and springfield, ohio. that have been occupied by illegal alien criminals from all over the world. we're rescuing the americans whose jobs have been stolen, whose wages have been robbed and whose way of life has been absolutely destroyed. and under the trump administration our country will not be turned into a dumping ground. >> you know, in listening to the president, he is really zeroing in on the important

priorities not just for the party, he's talking about all americans, whether you voted for him or not, and he's talking about all of the activity. you heard rachel mention it in the last hour, charlie as well, this idea of moving quick and persistently and for what it's worth he's not just talking about what's already happened. he's looking ahead including specifically at the border. so is tom homan. >> i read a story last night that the police anythings commissioner ofboston, you saidd down on not helping law enforcement office of i.c.e. i'm coming to boston. i'm bringing hell with me. i looked at the numbers this morning. i counted -- i stopped counting at nine. nine child rapists that were in jail in massachusetts rather than having an i.c.e. detainer

released them back into the street. you're not a police commissioner. take the badge off your chest, put it in your drawer. you forgot what it's like to be a cop. >> i don't know if he has politics in his future. if he wanted to, i think he would be a very popular candidate. rachel: it's really interesting automwatching them talk about te illegal immigration problem, tom homan talking about the lives lost, the rapes, the fentanyl. donald trump talking about that too, also talking about the wages, the way illegal immigration -- think about it. we've got probably, i don't know, i think 15 million people probably crossed, that might be a low number, during the biden administration and all of those people are driving down the wages of the working class and no one talks about what kind of damage that does to americans. yesterday, we had cardinal dolan

on the couch and i asked him about catholic charities and the role of catholic charities in this whole scheme and he defended the role of the catholic church. sees it as a compassionate issue and says that's why the catholic bishop's council is suing the trump administration but i would say i'm not seeing a lot of compassion from their role in that because the wages, the violence, and the children that have been lost in which the catholic church and many other ngos are complicit in because over 300,000 are now lost. charlie: there is nothing come passionate about empowering war lords, drug lords, human smugglers at the border, there's nothing c compassionate about ay of that. whether the catholic ngos know it or not, that's who they're supporting at the border when they support these policies.

rachel: there's jewish organization, ngos participating in this, the lutheran churches. a lot of religious organizations are making money off of this issue, many of them saying we're doing it as the bishop, as the cardinal said, i take his word at it, sees it as a compassion issue and the right of the catholic church to be involved in this and serve illegals but i will say there's a lot of damage that's been done and they have to be held accountable for that. >> i say there's a lot of people who have three simple words, what about us. i'm not suggesting ngos don't have a value, i'm not suggesting the church's support for that isn't valuable. what i'm suggesting is it requires a careful examination of where those dollars are going and whether or not you're fomenting or yo assisting in lawlessness when there are americans who need your health

where that money could be put to better use. in particular, we talk about closing schools and using that money to educate the next generation so they can take care of themselves. speaking of taking care of yourself, the president wants this country to take care of itself and part of that messaging is unifying because whether you voted for him or you didn't vote for him, he said at cpac he really wants all of us to be moving in the same direction. listen to this. >> the elected leaders in this room are the living embodyment of the union to which president washington referred, you are really doing a fantastic job. i won't say -- the press is up there going crazy tonight. i won't say how good some of the democrats are but some of you are doing a really good job. others are doing good and some i'm not so sure about. [laughter] >> but you do, you have some very great talent on the other side i have to say and we all appreciate it and we respect it greatly. so tonight let us all recommit

ourselves to strengthening america, making it something even more special than it has been and we're going to be one united nation and maybe together this is going to be the evening that we start uniting and we're going to unite. >> obviously, you can tell from those pics, that's at the governor's gala at the white house. beautiful. rachel: it was beautiful, hosted by our first lady melania trump. look at her. just rocking the tuxedo there, the two of them looking super sharp and very fashionable and she hosted this. she brought -- there were singers. see the military there on the left side. they came out, they sang from les ms. it was quite beautiful. it was a moment for them to got attogether. the president said that they were -- all of them there rep ceos of the country, correct?

charlie: for each state. we had all the governors there, democrats an republicans and obviously the big fireworks was when trump got into a back and forth with the governor of maine over her refusal to go along with restoring title 9 to keep men out of women's sports but if you step back and you look at trump's larger agenda, it is a common sense agenda. it is a far more bipartisan agenda than any administration we've ever seen and as somebody who is more on the conservative side of things, i always recognize that, man, if democrats were smart and wanted to work with this guy, they could get so much done with this guy because he really doesn't care about partisanship that much. he just wants to get things done that make sense and it's that -- it's the fact that he's not an ide oalogue that makes him scary

to both sides but also effective. rachel: he's very pragmatic. we're in the midst of a really incredible once in a lifetime for me political realignment. where donald trump has basically stolen issues that used to be -- we talked earlier about the war in ukraine. he's the peace maker. remember in the iraq war, he's the peace maker. he's trying to bring people together. he's trying to use diplomacy, end the war that's killing a million ukraine young men and russian men so i mean, there are so many issues for them. where's aoc? why isn't she on board with donald trump, with president trump, on bringing peace? >> you nailed it when you said some people are more interested in partisanship than they are in being pragmatic and practical and giving credit where credit is due. if a democrat does something great the president often will

say that person gets it. that's not necessarily political. i think in washington -- >> and then he steals it. >> he says if it works for them, it could work for all of us. let's turn to your headlines. a fox news alert. two virginia police officers shot and killed late friday night have now been identified as 30-year-old christopher res and 25-year-old officer cameron mervin. the chief from the virginia beach police department says this all happened during a routine traffic stop. >> almost immediately there was a tussle between the officers and this individual. while that tussle was occurring, this individual pulled a pistol from his pocket and immediately shot both officers. >> the suspect was eventually found dead nearby from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. meantime, happening right now, millions of jeer than citizens are hitting the polls to die in

a highly anticipated election that is being very closely watched not just by leaders in europe but also here in the u.s. the race has been drawing global attention for the rise of the conservative afd party in germany which had been making consistent gains over the past year and even received a bit of vocal support from elon musk a few weeks ago. polls there are set to close just a few hours from now. and we are learning this morning that msnbc have canceled joy reed's 7:00 show, the readout, as part of a major overhaul by the network's new regime. reed, an unabashed liberal and emphatic trump critic will be replaced by a new show hovedded hostedb by

simone senator. and canadians are apparently canceling their vacations to the u.s. en masse if you can believe it. our neighbors to the north seemingly protesting the impact of potential tariffs on their economy. canadian airlines thinking of cutting down their u.s.-bound flights this spring amid lower demand of around 25%. that according to west jet airlines and there's more. a canadian travel agent estimates that at least 40% -- 40% of the trips that she's booked to america this year have already been canceled. they can stay there. those are your headlines at 19 minutes after the hour. rachel: i wonder what is the number of canadians that come to america versus americans that go to canada because this could be tit-for-tat, who gets affected more. >> but the only reason the deficit has switched and there

are more americans going to canada that canadians coming to america right now is because the dollar is stronger now so you can -- if you're in detroit and you want to buy some cheap stuff you go to windsor right now and you can just clean up. >> absolutely. >> and they can't do it. they're not doing it the other way around. >> 65-cents now to the dollar so it's a big difference and for what it's worth, it's not only more expensive to travel when you have a weaker dollar in canada, let's be honest about it, some would just argue it's better here. rachel: the great american road trip, let's bring it back. we don't need to go to canada. we've got everything here. charlie: tomorrow is the deadline for federal employees to return to the office. take a look at the cafeteria in the interior department. totally empty. >> ain't nobody working. we know one person who is, that's our interior secretary, the great doug did b burgum. that's next

>> for millions of americans monday morning means back to the office and if you're a federal employee the trump administration says this includes you. rachel: these photos highlighting the cafeteria in the interior department looking like a ghost town after sitting empty and closed for years under the biden administration. all of this of course on your

taxpayers dime. >> that's about to change. secretary of the interior, doug burgum, says those days are over. he joins us now with more. by the way, i absolutely love your conversation with our colleague, bret baier, i thought it was an interesting look at what's happening over at interior but i have to ask you, we're talking about minerals and getting things done vis-a-vis ukraine, where does that stand and if i could ask you also as an aside, mr. secretary, when are we going to get back to fracking and opening up the west because we have a lot of energy right here that we should be exploiting. >> well, kevin, rachel, charlie, great to be with you and, yes, president trump has made it very clear, he declared an energy emergency on day one, just over a week ago through an executive 0 order set up the national energy dominance council, which has a dozen cabinet leaders on it. the job, the directive from

president trump is to getting inner flowing in the us, it helps prosperity at home and will help us end wars abroad. you mentioned ukraine. president trump, this is the guy who wrote the art of the deal over 30 years ago and he says this is a party of common sense. why are we sending two or three times, hundreds of billions of dollars to a country and getting nothing in return when the eu was loaning money to ukraine and so he just said hey, if we're going to give them money, we should get something back. they've got a bunch of critical minerals. he's got a great team involved in the negotiation. we should have secure supply lines. under the biden administration with all the subsidies on evs we were setting ourselves up to get critical minerals from china. they're tearing up the world including in after car, using child labor and we were going to use taxpayer dollars to subsidize buying batteries made with consider it nail minerals from china.

it made no common sense. president trump is on track with energy dominance, going to bring peace abroad and prosperity at home. >> doge is on quite the roll this week and people have been cheering it along. one of the things that's interesting about the way elon musk has worked with his companies, his philosophy is if he doesn't -- if he doesn't wind up having to restore 25% of the cuts that he made to an assembly line or company that he's trying to make more efficient, then he didn't cut deep enough. i'm wondering, is there a mechanism for secretaries like yourself for realizing if it's gone too far or how do you save particular people in a certain department that might actually be beneficial to you. >> well, this is something i've got some experience at because when i stepped in as governor of north dakota, we cut 27% out of the state's general fund in the first four months in office and

all the trains kept running on time. but you have to be -- each department has got different sets of things. the department of interior, we're managing 500 million acres of land, 700 million acres of subsurface. not everybody is sitting at a desk in d.c. we've got to be smart about that. we're making some cuts. we posted 5,000 positions for summer help at our national parks because we've got to deliver great experiences for our public to be able to visit their parks, their national parks in advance of the usa 250 celebration and these parks are going to have record visitation the next couple years so we've got to balance those things and we've got people out there running snowplows in yellowstone park right now because people visit there in the winter time. we're looking forward to having people come back to work tomorrow. we've got a huge building in d.c. that's been virtually empty as you've shown the cafeteria

closed since biden closed it during covid. it's going to be exciting. president trump works every day. he comes into the office every day. he's not expecting anybody to -- i was with him until 11:00 p.m. last night. he invited the governors in the oval office at 10:30 last night, come on down and tell the democrat and republican governors call me if have you a problem. i'm here to solve it. >> everybody has to walk past his mug shot. >> yes. and a lot of it -- the oval office and the white house has never looked better. president trump as we learned, he's amazing in so many ways, he's setting a pace during -- when i was governor and he was president, both our first four years in office, he was courageous. this time, he's fearless and he wants to get stuff down now. he's setting a pace that's driving everybody forward and let the governors from democrats, republicans, all 50 of them plus gofer nors governoe

territories, he let them know if you have a problem call me and we'll move it forward. rachel: it's great to have you. i want to thank you so much for bringing up the slave labor child labor in africa and i hope that this -- this is another issue, charlie's been talking about the issues that the left says they care about but they don't and hopefully this administration will do something. we have our own resources here. we can get them without slave labor. we can expose those countries that are doing things that are really quite frankly evil so thank you. go ahead. >> thank you. absolutely. because people care about the environment, they should want every drop of energy, every electron made in the united states, we do it cleaner, smarter and safer. the biden administration's climate extremist policies that we're going to shut down u.s. energy and then we're going to have -- didn't reduce demand. it just shoved the supply to people that rachel as you're saying don't follow the rules that we do, whether it's human rights or whether it's

environmentally so the best thing for the world is if the u.s. is energy dominant. rachel: amen to that. thank you, governor burgum. >> meantime, all eyes on the vatican this morning where pope francis remains in critical condition. an update from rome, next.

i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms... ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after trying a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq works differently. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling as fast as 2 weeks for some. and even at the 3-year mark, many people felt this relief. rinvoq can stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower ability to fight infections. before treatment, test for tb and do bloodwork. serious infections, blood clots, some fatal; ...cancers, including lymphoma and skin; serious allergic reactions; gi tears; death;

heart attack; and stroke occurred. cv event risk increases in age 50 plus with a heart disease risk factor. tell your doctor if you've had these events, infection, hep b or c, smoked, are pregnant or planning. don't take if allergic or have an infection. done settling? ask your rheumatologist for rinvoq. and take back what's yours. (♪) >> 35 mince after the hour now, a fox news alert. a live look at vatican city where pope francis remains hospitalized in critical condition this morning following a respiratory crisis that actually began to billow up a bit again yesterday. rachel: collin flynn is the vatican correspondents for the television network and he joins us from rome. welcome. >> reporter: thank you. good to talk to you. rachel: tell us the latest of what you're hearing. >> reporter: it's serious to put

it into a word, the condition of the pope at the moment is serious. you have to remember this flared up over the past weekend. i met the pope two days before he went into the hospital and i had a few moments to speak to the holy father and while he was in good spirits and he was in good form, you could tell that he was laboring his breath, he was finding it difficult to breathe. he looked unwell. so he was hospitalized. they said his flu had become bronchitis, bronchitis then was pneumonia in both lungs and remember pope francis knocking on the door of 90. he's 88 years of age already with a compromised condition and that is part of his right lun was removed from a bout of pneumonia when he was a young man and adding extra weight over the past couple years because he's been in a wheelchair, all of these things together is a very concerning set of circumstances but actually the interesting thing was that on friday evening, the doctors, the personal doctors of the pope,

they held a press conference in the foyer of the hospital and dare i say there were light moments in the press conference. his doctor joked at one stage saying when i went in the morning and i say good morning, holy father and he responds, good morning, holy son. when you compare to it the statement that the vatican put out yesterday, saturday, saying he was in critical condition, the first time they used the word critical officially, the vatican, saying he had a prolonged asthmatic crisis, saying he was running low in red blood cells and had to get a blood tranfusion and they said he was in more pain than he was in previous days so things took a bad turn over the weekend it seems. >> thank you so much for your reporting. we all enjoy wtn. they do very fine work especially in circumstances like this. >> must be a remarkable thing

to have literally billions of prayers coming your direction. >> reporter: the interesting thing -- kevin, thank you for saying that. the money's in the post. he did release a message -- normally today, sunday, we would have the sunday angeles but this is the second week in a row he missed it. he talked about a few different things. at the end he said he wants to thank everyone for their closeness and pairs. prayers.he asks everyone to keeg for him. rachel: we are. thank you for joining us with that update and as somebody who saw him not too long ago. >> thank you. rachel: god bless. >> elon musk giving federal workers a weekend ultimatum. explain what you accomplished last week or quit. maria bartiromo joins us next.

are being used. sunday morning futures anchor maria bartiromo joins us now. have you ever seen anything quite like this in politics. maria: oh, my goodness. no, i have not. good morning to you, team. look, i think it's very obvious that if you are not working and you are underperforming at work, you will be exposed and whether you are working in a hybrid situation or on the job every day, if you're not doing your job you should be called out. so this whole exercise has actually exposed so much that it's really a good thing and make no mistake, i mean, we talk about national security a lot on this program, on sunday morning futures. reducing the scale of the federal government is a national security priority or should be a national security issue. because if we can't trim down the budget and we can't get wasteful spending and fraud and abuse out of the way, then we

can't do what we really want to do, prioritizing the things that are important to the american people. so this is as much a work issue as it is a national security issue, charlie. charlie: and i'm struck by the media's trying to cook up all of these town halls, supposedly around the country, where taxpayers are coming unglued, they're all upset about this. i'm starting to kind of wonder if those townhalls are not exactly what you call grass roots. maria: well, look, the media has a hard time understanding president trump's thinking. i mean, most people look at what we have learned and are outraged. you look at all of the money that was sent out in usaid and the money that was buried in the inflation reduction act so joe biden could give money to stacy abrams, for example. >> charlie: incredible. maria: it's just incredible. everyone would like to see this corrected but you know, the media has a hard time understanding the way president trump thinks. this happened again this past week, remember, charlie, when it

was all about russia, russia, russia, because president trump was talking about zelenskyy versus putin. now, i don't know the thinking behind president trump's negotiating but we all know he's got an art of the deal and this deal to get 50% of the revenues interest the rare earth minerals in ukraine is brilliant. there's no other way to say it. to actually get some payback from them. we're talking about that this morning. we've got the man in the middle of it all this morning, we've got an exclusive interview with our treasury secretary, scott bessent. he went to ukraine to try to get zelenskyy to sign a paper, sign a deal that in fact the u.s. would get a part of those revenues and put it into a separate fund of the rare earth medicine yals. minerals. we need those rare earth minerals for so much technology production and if we were to do this deal we'll see less

reliance on communist china so there's very many reasons to actually talk and look for this deal. bessent is in negligence other negotiations rightnow and we'vez to talk about that as well as negotiating with hamas, can the united states say we're going to continue to support this negotiation with hamas after these atrocious moves that hamas has made. i don't know where that phase two stands right now. we're going to talk about it. lee zeldin, the epa administrator will talk about this money that was found in the inflation reduction act that was actually sent to joe biden's buddy, stacy abrams, and governor glenn youngkin is here with an update, he just was at the white house for the governor's meeting and he was doing doge before it was cool, talking about the education department and all that. we'll get into it and we'll have a roundup of president trump's first 30 days in office with mollie hemingway. we've got a big show coming up, charlie.

[laughter] >> those rose nails that just are collecting god knows what amount of bacteria. rachel: like claws. i love jesus christ superstar. i will not do this. jesus is not a woman. there's no need to do this. it's totally meant to offend and nothing else. all right. now this is my favorite story. melania trump once again rocks a power tux while attending the national governors' association dinner, first of all, she planned this. listen to this entry here. ♪ rachel: this is from les miz, they walk through the crowd, very dramatic, very beautiful. but look at her in this tux,

morn. maureen. it's too much. can we get back to the tux, please. >> i'm loving it. rachel: it's too much. >> this is giving me semi-bianca jagger vibes. if anna wintour knew what was going for her, she would put this woman on the cover of vogue. what is the problem? i love this look. it's very powerful. i don't think we've ever seen a first lady in a tux before. rachel: i don't think we've seen a first lady look this good before. this is incredible. people were wowed when she walked into the room, obviously. as far as anna wintour, she doesn't deserve melania. she just doesn't. >> i take it. rachel: next topic. get this. there is a woman, a comedian, and she is sort of making fun of conservatives of their moment that they're in, the golden era and all these young women like caroline lee vi leavitt and otho

have taken over at the white house and this clean esthetic, the clean look esthetic that's taken over. listen to what she's saying. watch. >> i'm not going to do any prep at all. we want our makeup to cling to any dry spots and accentuate any texture we might have. we want to choose a makeup that doesn't match the undertones of our skins. i'm going in with the warmest foundation. rather than using a brush, we're just going to apply directly to the skin and use our hands. rachel: maureen, she's been on cnn. the left loves her. this is their way of making fun of republican women. >> the left that likes to counsel us all on not making fun of things people can't control. should we be taking tips from hillary?
