ended up to run. i think we have ayman right now. ayman, are you there? okay. first of all, are you okay. >> i'm here now in this -- yes. we're fine right now. as you can see behind me, it's a tense situation. we were in the middle of the street but had to move away from that to get in position here little bit away from the firing and rocket throwing. >> you're in jerusalem now. what is happening on the ground? >> yeah, craig. we're in the eastern part of jerusalem. you can see off to my shoulder here israeli soldiers have taken position in this neighborhood. they have been firing throughout the course of the morning tear gas, rubber bullets on to some of the palestinian protesters that have been demonstrating throughout the early hours of the morning. they barricaded both ends of the street. on the other side, there's a huge fire that has been burning for several hours. the protesters have been angered by the killing of a 16-year-old

palestinian boy. that happened overnight. according to local residents, they say the 16-year-old boy was killed at the hands of israelis overnight in what they're calling a revenge killing. this morning, the body of the boy was discovered burned in the woods or forest not too far away from where we are. that lead to the outbreak of violates they were seeing throughout the course of the morning. israeli police have been trying to contain the demonstration using some of the tactics we described. about four dozens or so protesters have been injured. we were caught up in the squirmish earlier today. it's been joiniongoing. israeli police say they will maintain the position. they shut off several of the roads in eastern jerusalem. they shut down some of the more sensitive holy areas inside the old city of jerusalem to calm tensions down here in jerusalem. craig? >> ayman, the 16-year-old

palestinian boy who was found, what more do we know about the circumstances? >> we've heard from his family as well as some of the relatives and friend of the neighborhood. they say about 4:00 a.m. he was on the street. a car came by and literally physically kidnapped him. there's reportedly close circuit television footage. but that's not confirmed. a body believed to be of the 16-year-old boy was discovered several hours later into the night. his body was very badly burned, as we understand it. the father of the boy has been with israeli police throughout the course of the morning trying to recover the body. that body hasn't been released. in addition to that, we understand from some of the residents here that the car, and the individuals inside that car, they believe, again, according to them, were israeli settlers that came into the neighborhood. it's predominantly arab

neighborhood. it would be highly unusual, at that time of the night, to see, if you will israeli jews coming into it here in the area where we're now. >> ayman in eastern jerusalem for us. stay safe, buddy. back here. let's turn to the weather. millions of people along the east coast are bracing for the first-named storm of the year bringing giant waves to florida. the national hurricane center said tropical storm arthur, that's the first name, arthur, slowly drifting north. parts of north carolina are under a hurricane watch right now. let's get to nbc meteorologist bill karens bhop is going to get the worst of it. is it going to ruin everyone's holiday weekend? >> not everyone. you may get inconvenienced with

the delay in the firework and closed beaches. eastern north carolina could get a district hit from a hurricane in 48 hours. the storm off the coast of florida. here is orlando. the center of the storm is due east. it looks like the eye. it's the most i believe pressive we've seen the system looking on the radar as we've been tracking it. we'll see if the thunderstorms can wrap around. they do so, the pressures will lower an the winds will go up. it's expected to strengthened from here on out. about 24 to 36-hours over warm water. slight shear and conditions to strengt streng strengthen. it should be a hurricane off the coast of the outer banks. it takes a little more of the hook to the sea. no have a scotia. we haven't ruled out cape cod. here is the specific on the land area. this was the official forecast from hurricane center at 5:00 a.m. they issue them every six hours. the next one is coming at the top of the hour. from the computer data, i've been looking at, i wouldn't doubt if it shifts a little bit

closer and crossing over the outer banks. looks like a significant impact from a hurricane into the outer banks thursday night and friday morning. here is the computer models. the spaghetti line. they represent a different computer. they're targeting eastern north carolina. notice they avoid cape code. it's a close call. that's the specifics on the forecast. the worst part of any storm for the hurricanes is the right hand portion of the storm. the heaviest rain, thunderstorms, and the winds are there. and the rainfall projections are, you know, tremendous off the coast, but inland areas it's not bad at all. you can could be at the beaches of georgia, south carolina, and through ocean city and new jersey and not get a lot of rain, craig. again, there's a lot of things that are going to impact the forecast. the most important one, today it's about 70 degrees in kansas city. it feels like a fall day. this right here, the little spin is what is going to save the northeast from arthur. it's going to be too late for the outer banks. >> while you were talking, by

the way, bill, got word there's been a mandatory evacuation issued for cape lookout, north carolina. mandatory evacuation. >> extreme out toward the outer banks. that's not a surprise. there's a highway 12 is one of the only highways that runs out of there. even in miner storm s -- minor storms the highway floods. that's what we're waiting to see if they evacuate the tourist areas. >> we'll keep our eyes on it. the east coast of florida is preparing in case it gets slammed by tropical storm arthur. richard lui is in the atlanta with the latest how the sunshine state are getting ready. how are folks preparing there? >> you know, they're preparing so far for what might be a great july 4th weekend.

on the space coast region 45 minutes south of cape canaveral here. when we look at what happened so far, it's a dress rehearsal of what bill was talking about. which will happen in the outer banks. at the moment we're looking about 12 or 13 miles per hour winds. about 78 80 degrees. perhaps one of the fingers of arthur that might come ashore, but we're not expecting much moisture. if the morning was any indication. barely moisture more than a sneeze. and in terms behalf it allowed do. they're coming out. enjoying the swells 2 to 4 feet. in the horizon, you can see here what is the back end of arthur, it's about 100 miles north northeast of us. as for july 4th, they're getting ready for what will be a sunny beach weechbd here. they're going to be, insteading with maybe having some very natural, organic seaweed sushi,

as my good friend mark seidel has been talking about. >> richard lui in florida. thank you. more breaking news. we have just learned that target, target is now going to ban firearms from all of its stores. activists have been calling on target to ban people from openly carrying guns following chains like whi chipolte. they made the announcement s saying in part, quote, it's a complicated issue, but it boils down to a simple belief. bringing firearms to target creates an environment that is at odds with the family-friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create. again, target now banning firearms from the stores. next hour a court appearance for the libyan militia leader charged in the benghazi attack that killed four americans including ambassador chris stevens. pete williams joins us live.

what can we expect from the morning's detention hearings, sir? >> well, this hearing for ak mad abu khattala. what will interest us is what more the government has to say about the case against him. now in some court documents filed just ahead of the hearing, the government does reveal some depth to the charges they filed against him. so far, they haven't said much. they say that in the days before the attack, khattala expressed opposition to the presence of u.s. consulate in benghazi. they say several members was terror group he commanded were seen by witnesses involved in the attack. they say after the attack c khattala supervised the removement. they were planning to attack the other facility.

he was trying to get weapons to defend himself from an expected u.s. capture. he continued to plot further attacks on u.s. people and property in libya. that gives a little more details into the allegation the government has. it doesn't tell us anything about the evidence the government has against him. the government has been reluctant to give any kind of a shape to that. they say they don't want to identify any of the witnesses this far, at this early stage in the proceedings. >> justice correspondent pete williams in d.c. thank you. coming up angry protesters block a bus carrying women and children who crossed the border. we'll get a live update. we'll get reaction from congressman next. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain,

and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and ask your doctor about celebrex.

for a body in motion. this is kathleen. setting up the perfect wedding day begins with arthritis pain and two pills. afternoon arrives and feeling good, but her knee pain returns... that's two more pills. the evening's event brings laughter, joy, and more pain... when jamie says... what's that like six pills today? yeah... i can take 2 aleve for all day relief. really, and... and that's it. this is kathleen... for my arthritis pain, i now choose aleve. get all day arthritis pain relief with an easy-open cap.

[ shouting ] >> border boiling point. the crisis involving the surge of undocumented immigrant children and their parents crossing the border exploded yesterday. protesters actually blocked three buses trying to bring the immigrants to a processing facility in california. nbc is in california there. indian t i understand the buses were rerouted. >> good morning. this is where they ended up. 75 miles away from the original destinations. bus loads of children and their parents turned away from a community who would not let them in. >> they first arrived in san diego by plane from overcan crowded facilities in texas. 140 undocumented immigrants. many just babies and toddlers

with their mothers boarding buses for marietta, california. they were greeted by angry protesters there. furious the families from central america would be processed and released from a holding facility here. >> they're not born here. they need go back to mexico. >> confrontation with immigration advocates turned heated with roads blocked, police stood by as three bus load of young families were turned away because of fears for their safety. >> thousands of people being allowed into our country illegally. we're coming out here to voice our objection against that. >> it's heartbreaking to see it happening cometing from the land of opportunity. >> the buses returned to san diego. the families, instead, brought to the border facility to be screened for criminal history and health problems. those who have made this trip

say this is the easy part. for many, the life or death journey across the desert is worth the risk. desperate to escape violence and poverty in el salvador, she made the dangerous trip with her two children. >> translator: we know the risk, she says, but in my country, my kids are in great danger because of crime and poverty. immigration advocates say that is an all too common story. i.c.e. tells us because those 140 immigrants now at this facility were under threat during their transportation, they are not releasing information as to their exact location or their movements. craig? >> miguel, what do you know immigration officials? their plans in terms what to do with the tens of thousands of undocumented parents and children who have recently fled to this country? >> well, we know that the group that is here at this facility is the first wave what we're told

will be several waves coming for several weeks. the next wave is expected to arrive in marietta is going to be on independence, the fourth of july. we know that those wai waives w come and be processed and released into the community until they're able to make a court appearance. >> thank you. i want to bring in the democrat from arizona. congressman, let me get your reaction to that scene that played out yesterday in marietta, california. >> tragic. and a sad scene to watch. and unfortunately, the fact that there has been nothing doing about dealing with the broken system. dealing with the rampant and ugly violence in central america. that scene, unfortunately, will be repeated. by not doing anything and the

republican majority in the house refusing to do anything about reforming the immigration law, these scenes, these deviseness. >> can we do in this country legislative lly about the violee in central america? >> it's not a question of legislatively. let's look at what the president is going to propose in the $2 billion package he's sending to congress. i would hope there's significant amount to build kaccapacity. to help in the rule of law and the enforcement of law in those countries regarding the organized crime that is controlling the human smuggling in all of central america. let's hope there's capacity building so that people don't feel that their only recourse is to risk their lives trying to get out of their country. that is how we can help. i think the package represents some of the direct aid and

assistance. >> on monday, in addition to asking for the aid, president obama said he would be taking executive action to try to revamp the u.s. immigration system since congress hasn't acted. he talked about it again at the cabinet meeting yesterday. this is a snippet of what president obama said. >> keep in mind my preference is going to be to work with congress and get legislation done. that's how we get more permanent fix fixes. . >> what can president obama realistically accomplish through executive action? >> as he did with the dreamers to provide a temporary, a two year upon two year relief and protection for people that are here and qualify for the program and earned that opportunity. he can do it with families. he can do it with the backlog of people that have already --

regarding getting their green card. >> the president should soften his deportation policies? >> there's no question about it. 1,000 a week and 2 million over the course of the last six years. absolutely. >> congressman, quickly, what do you say to those who insist that softening enforcement is part of the reason what we're seeing now along the border in terms of this humanitarian crisis? >> i would say compare apples to a ape ls. the fact we have 60,000 border patrol agents along the arizona border, 6,000 intense internal security effort for detention and deportation, and have that that effort $18 billion a year done anything to satisfy the need that some people have to completely shut down the border. that is not going to happen. and i think the focus has to be where the source is.

and i think the source has been the cartel's organized crime that made human smuggling and the misery of these people part of their profit. i think the president -- i also think people have to realize that this influx that is coming upon us is a direct result of unintended issues in those countries. the countries haven't had stable government, history of violence, and we have a -- we have a responsibility to humanity treat these people. >> congressman, thank you. coming up after the break. team usa may have lost, but americans have a new hero. >> timmy howard! [ laughter ] you will hear from timmy howard, the keeper with 16 saves and quite possibly the new face of american soccer! coming up! and more chaos over there usually means higher gas...

prices here. but we can take control with clean, renewable fuels... like ethanol we're growing right here. it means more jobs and more security... less pollution and less pain at the pump. because it's time to stop letting chaos decide our... energy future. tell congress and the epa to stand up to big oil. don't gut the renewable fuel standard.

it was a little tougher to come to work today after team usa's loss yesterday. but this morning, it feels like we have a new hero. his name tim howard. there he is right there. the keeper with 16 saves. the most in any world cup match since 1966. that amazing performance inspired quite a few internet memes like this one. tim howard, the face, on mount rushmore. there's a wikipedia correction listing him as the secretary of defense instead of chuck hagel. but he was pretty humble in the interview on the today show saying the performance wasn't his best because the team lost. he thanked fans for taking soccer to a new level in this country. >> the numbers are staggering. not only the television numbers, which are obvious, but in the parks, the bars, and you know wherever in between. it was incredible to see.

we were motivated by that and inspired by that. we saw all the videos and the highlights of our fans. it was special to be a part of that. they felt like they were part of it here and we felt like we were part of it back home. >> class act right there. speaking of celebrations beyond the fireworks this fourth of july weekend. another celebration is taking place in new orleans. it is one of the largest live events in the united states. the essence festival. celebrating the 20th anniversary in new orleans this year. it's an msnbc growing hope event. focussing on empowerment and cultural experiences. the four-day festival kicks off tomorrow. it will feature roughly 80 musical acts. acts like prince, line richee, and the roots. more than 120 speakers will talk about empowerment and inspire ration including reverend al sharpton. alicia keys will be there and

chris witherspoon. entertainment editor who is heading down to new orleans. >> i'm heading down tomorrow. >> what is different about this year's festival? >> i think this festival, essence in general is anticipating an even larger crowd. 120,000 attendees each day last year. this year they expect to maybe double it. it's the huge festival. big business. six times larger than coachella. and the 20th anniversary is a huge milestone. and the essence festival is a rite of passage for so many acts like beyoncè, janet jackson, you have prince this year. so many amazie ining acts come through. it's huge. >> in addition to the music, which is a large part, you have the sessions. so you a lot of speakers. we mentioned steve harvey. it's called "act like success." alicia keys is talking about

empowering black women to end aids. how can folks translate what they hear at the session into action? >> i think the sessions and the festival in general there's something for everybody. and the sessions target beauty, relationships, finance, education, things people deal with every day. it's the -- the sessions are a chance for the magazine to come to life. it's been around since 1970, the magazine is like a guidebook on love, relationships. things people deal with every day in their lives. the panels are an opportunity for these news makers to interact with festival goers and talk about the issues. >> chris witherspoon, safe travels. don't have too good of a time. >> i hope now. >> you will. when we come back, the crisis at the border flairing up. what will happen to the children who are coming here alone. we're going to dig into this. alex wagner takes us the border we'll talk to a young man

fighting to change the system.

the immigration border crossing crisis at the new level in southern california. demonstrators turned back three bus loads of undocumented children and parents who were going to be processed at the federal facility in murrieta, california yesterday. they scrambled to recruit them to san diego. i want to bring in immigration actist and dreamer. before we get to the latest developments that played out yesterday. i want to show the report by msnbc alex wagner. she travelled to the texas border for a first-hand look at the hidden communities where thousands of men and women and children live in the country in secret. she talked with some of the original leaders fighting for change. an msnbc original report. >> i'm a fourth-generation

american. my great grandfather was in the civil war. yet my grandchildren and great grandchildren face zremgs. half a century after she cofounded the united farmworkers. she sees prejudice and pain. >> one young man committed suicide after they deported his family. they don't understand the pain children come home from school and all the sudden there's no parents. >> while national reform is stalled, they are moving forward at the local level. >> we basically organize a community so they can start fighting for their rights. make them understand that they don't have to live this way. >> one of those communities is in hill hill dag go county. we have state issues working on getting driver's licenses for undocumented workers. and county which are local issues.

juanita grew up in a family of migrant workers. she spent years working in the fields and with her parents she joined the united farmworkers. >> when i grew up, we didn't have water. caesar chavez was organizing. that's what cesar told us. at the end of the day, i have to go back to the california. who is going live without water. it's you. therefore, we're here to train you. my dad and my uncles and everybody got together, organized, and we -- they developed their own water system. that's the power of people. >> she's the executive director of lupe, a community group that began as a offshoot of uaw. >> we residents coming together every two years. >> many in the neighborhood have residential lightening.

they want better drainage. >> no drainage, no street lights. basic services for most american neighborhoods, but not necessarily all of them. even if the residents are paying taxes. if they're not legal there may not be lights. >> they're old enough now, they have probably kids that are american citizens. they have grand kids that are american citizens. by them grouping together and asking for stuff that most people have, i mean, how can you not want to help the people? >> to have a huge group of people in this united states sometimes struggling to get street lights. >> one thing we find in organizing the immigrant community, they are ready to be organized. we have to somehow try to translate the power at the national level. >> 1960 gavel vanized the country for calling for a grape

boycott. >> i guess we can boycott the republican party. she blames house republicans for stone walling reform both in the halls of congress and back in their districts. >> in our case, congressman mccarthy, they have kept their doors locked so people can't go into talk to the congressmen. i'm talking about locked for months at the time. it's totally -- that don't have documents. >> in the coming months kevin mccarthy and his party are likely to face even steeper stakes when it comes to immigration reform and immigrants themselves. >> irvis is part of the next generation of latinos fighting for change in the house. how surprised you're fighting for some of the same rights as juanita valdez-cox? >> so i've been involved in the immigrant right movements for about eight years.

it's been hectic to see that congress is not moving forward on the issue. even though there's enough support. there's two-thirds of americans that support immigration reform, but it's not happening. and right now what is holding them back is that house republicans are holding the senate bill that was passed a year ago yesterday. what we're asking is immigrant activists is that president obama be able to pass an executive order to grant executive order for to legalize 11 million undocumented people in the country. >> president obama said that's not an option. he said he just can't with the signature of his. he can't all of a sudden grant amnesty to 11 million undocumented immigrants. >> mr. obama told our dream act movement he was not able to pass deferred action for childhood arriv arrival. during the election year, which the latino vote was the essential to bring democrats and to get him elected. he was able to pass deferred

action, our campaign worked with 96 other law professors from all over the country that said that deferred action for childhood arrival was legal and has been done before. for example, during the time that there was a haiti earthquake, there was giving the people fleeing haiti the chance to stay in the country. the president has enough power and several national organizations as well as faith based organizations are supporting and telling the president he can act. that's what we're asking the president to do by this september. >> how concerned are you that if the president does act unilaterally on immigration reform within the bounds of the laws, how concerned if there's not congressional buy in. if there's not at least somewhat a consensus. there's not going to be a great deal of animosity toward the 11 million undocumented immigrants who have been granted amnesty,

if you get your wish? >> we are here in the country. many of us have been here for 10, 20 years. and our country's economic security and social stability depends on moving the legislation forward. the country would gain millions of dollars from the people being legalized. the country would also be able to be more secure now the immigrants are coming forward as well as there's stipulation that the economic stability of the country can also benefit from many of these immigrants coming in. >> all right. >> legally. >> we're going leave it there. thank you. we'll have another one of alex wagner's original reports. tomorrow you can catch her show every day 4:00 p.m. eastern p. two people in critical condition. ten others hurt after this food truck propane tank explosion in philadelphia yesterday evening. check it out. security camera footage caught the blast, which engulfed cars

and people surrounding the truck. the force set the propane tank flying 50-feet into the air and the backyard of a nearby home. flames shot up to 200 feet. they are investigating and trying to figure out what caused the explosion. here is other video. a hit and run at the houston gas station caught on camera. that collision, no accident, though, apparently one of the victims claims that the female driver ran them down on the purpose after they exchanged words about her driving. the victim suffered some head and back injuries. they are expected to be okay. a federal judge in kentucky struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriages. don't expect the wedding vows just yet. the rules was put temporarily on hold. it's unclear when marriage licenses willing issued. it represents the 23rd consecutive promarriage since the supreme court struck down

the defense of marriage act one year ago. today marks 50 years since lyndon johnson signed the civil rights act into law. it made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in the workplace and public spaces. the bill president johnson signed into law was a comprised version following a 54-day filibuster. coming up on msnbc. this is a real restaurant in colorado. it's the real name of the town. the slogan service with a smile and something else. also 2016 got a lot more interesting. there's a brand new poll out showing people always want what they can't have. are voters missing mitt? or craving a new clinton. you have to see the numbers. up next.

da(???? that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve.. at humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if frustration and paperwork decrease... the gap begins to close. so let's simplify things. let's close the gap between people and care. romney on the campaign trail today. he's in familiar territory.

new hampshire. he'll be endorsing scott brown, who wants to represent new hampshire. but as the former republican presidential nominee continues, as he tries to play king maker. a new poll shows that americans may be having second thoughts about passing on romney back in 2012. according to this latest quinnipiac poll 45% say if romney was elected instead, the country would be better off. 38% say the nation would be worse off. senior editor for msnbc.com. political reporter for the new york times. mitt romney has said he doesn't want to be president. said he's not running for president. he said it and said it again. in is what he said to david gregory last month. >> look, i want to find the best candidate for us to take our message to the american people. we can bring better jobs, higher incomes, and more security globally.

we can do that. i'm convinced that the field of republican candidates that i'm seeing is a lot better position to do that than i am. >> he's not running. might the poll numbers change his mind. might other poll numbers change his mind? >> mitt romney? no. >> he's out? >> look, three times a charm. he was rejected in 2008 by his own party. she was soundly rejected in 2012 by the entire country including 71% of hispanic voters. that's not getting any better. it doesn't mean barack obama is having problems. >> why endorse candidates? >> because there's no other king making force in the gop right now. and he's the closest thing to somebody who pull together the big donors, shine a spotlight on the next generation, and look the poll is music to a ears of whole group of mitt romney lovers. there are people who worked hard for him in 2012. they keep calling me and said,

you know, mitt 2016. don't rule it out. of course, mitt romney will say, look, i'm not running. man, these guys would love to see him run. they feel so vindicated by the last year or so, they feel like he was the most right on the things he was most mocked for. russia being our greatest. so they're being like we were so right. we were -- we told you so! >> that's right. you mentioned this president obama's numbers right now are in the tank. there's no way to rountd it. when asked who the worst president since world war ii was, this is the poll 33% barack obama, more popular than nixon. isn't it all day whoevways in t house the worst we've ever had.

>> yeah. presidential popularity tends to rise after presidents leave office with that question. it's hard for me to think that history is going to judge barack obama harsher than nixon. the poll was taken at the time when the president's numbers are bad. he's a polarizing president. has been from the beginning the presidency. you dig deeper and see largely that unhappiness with obama is driven by republicans. >> yeah. >> it's a little bit at odds with, you know, it's one poll. it's a juicy one. we should talk about it. it's one poll. and, you know, it's a little bit at odds with what has been a persistent finding in polls that even voters who are don't approve his job as president kind of like him. and there's a little more distaste and anger in this poll than in some other ones. look, worst than nixon is a great tag line for republicans as we head into the election season this summer. >> we know that typically midterm elections, especially when you look at second term

administrations, the results for the party in the white house, there's typically a direct correlation between the results and the popularity. another interesting part. best.top of the list, ronald reagan. almost twice as popular than clinton. you have john f kennedy, of course. 15% barack obama. 8% when hillary clinton decides to run for president. what might those numbers mean for her? >> those numbers, i mean, i think look it's the rear view mirror effect. reagan was polarizing. couldn't imagine somebody more polarizing than george bush came along. george w. bush. >> i would love to have seen a version of the poll while hillary clinton was still at the state department. i don't know. >> what do the poll numbers say about us? what do the poll numbers say about our collective desire to, i guess, you look back. do we think more fondly of

people once they're gone? >> the weird thing. americans are stereo type people that look to the future. we always look back at the past with the reverence, the great generation and ronald reagan. the best days seem like they are behind us. as well that's a constant theme in republican politics. which is we have gone the wrong way in a big way. we've been hearing it from the party for the last eight years. we've made a terrible path taken. right. we have to fix it. it's not surprising that republicans in the poll are saying, like, this president is worse than nixon. man, do i miss reagan. >> and the next president, whoever that president is. this president is the worst ever in the history of this country! nicholas and beth, have a great holiday. coming up a colorado cafe where waitresses are packing while they're serving. politician who is going from
