and somehow the word spread so fast that doug. had either died or was in trouble and as we drove to the hospital people were on. they're hard hats off and opening up. it was amazing i really thought. it was quite extraordinary anyway we got to. way i can and died twenty minutes before so. soon after dogs deaths chile's national congress voted to make him an honorary chilean sea descent it was an official recognition both of the tompkins contribution to the country's natural heritage and of how much the public have come to embrace them. what a live. here's a guy who had no limitations in this line. you know you're so easily stopped by things that are difficult or seemingly impossible. he's. an example of twenty people yeah. i'll we leave behind a legacy of if you don't establish some sort of value system that awards peace between human and non human world. i'll never get where we need to go. i'm using my final evening in the park to take a proper hike the only way to truly appreciate the spectacular plays. the sony hack into had th

>> doug: so why is the federal government doing this?y are aiding and abetting, but it is like this government, may be joe biden in the brain cell capacity, if you turn it on, the water spigot comes out, shocker. i mean turn the water on top of the water comes out. open the border, people come in. >> harris: can i roll that bite with kay jp and the president? all right, so, our reporter star jacqui heinrich yesterday actually asked the white house press secretary karine jean-pierre, when the president spoke yesterday he did not focus on the big issues like what we are talking about, let's watch. >> we watched up -- talked about the memorial flight, heading into memorial day weekend, so it causes the question of is the president really focus on today's biggest issues when everyone in here is asking about title 42, debt ceiling, mass shooting over the weekend and we did not hear the president talk about any of those things. >> regular american families are thinking about memorial day weekend, they are. they are thinking about how are they

doug. >> doug: warning about a tidal wave and chaos at the border and numbers keep climbing. we are in excess of 10,000 immigrants per day crossing the border illegally. the surge is already underway and fox learned the administration has organized mass release of immigrants into communitieses once shelters are overcapacity. president biden is bracing for what we are likely to see ahead. >> president biden: we've had chaos at the border for years. we are making real immigration more streamlined and the direction people know there is a legal way to get here and not a legal way. >> doug: the secretary of homeland security continues to claim the border is closed and secure. >> we are taking this approach within the constraints of a broken immigration system that congress has not fixed for more than two decades. when we release individuals, we release them on conditions. the vast majority will be addressed in our border patrol facilities and our ice detention facilities. >> is that not a message the border is open then? >> absolutely not. >> is it challenge or crisis? >> is it a

doug schoen himself. kellyanne conway, fox news contributor and former senior counselor to president trump, a long-tim pollster and president of ka consulting. you two have crossed paths over the years. >> it is fair to say we have >> harris: let's talk about the headwind pushing against biden right now. kellyanne, i will start with you. >> no question and why upwards of 2/3 of democrats don't want biden to seek that second term. he is having trouble gaining traction and attention, endorsements and excitement within his own party. mary anne williamson and rfk junior have a third of the vote now according to respectable polls and they aren't able to debate joe biden. it would be political mal practice for the biden campaign try not to compete in north carolina. you have a democrat governor. since 2008 when obama/biden won north carolina, that state decided by 3 1/2 percent or viewers but biden campaign is all by giving up on 2 or 3 states that obama/biden carried twice. iowa, ohio and florida. i don't thin

doug collins, appreciate your insight. peruvian officials organizing the extradition of joran van der sloot. the chief interpol, i will meet to coordinate details of the transfer and define the extradition date. peruvian government will hand over joran van der sloot, he is charged with extortion and wire fraud after trying to sell information on the whereabouts about natalie's body to her mother. she was last seen with joran van der sloot. >> ashley: migrants pour into texas following the end of title 42. the governor blaming the biden administration's reckless open-border policies. until the president step up and secure the border, the state of texas will continue bussing migrants to self-declared sanctuary cities to provide relief to border towns. the president bussed 19,000 migrants from the lone star state to several sanctuary cities including washington, d.c., new york city, chicago and philadelphia. >> todd: second round of the p.g.a. championship kicking off at oak hill country club in new york. tour rookie eric col

where doug emhoff is now teaching law.washington reporters have no interest in that story, because it is the story of doing the right thing, and washington reporters don't think doing the right thing is news. and that is the problem. chief justice roberts and his wife have always known that the washington press court does not care if they do the right thing, they would get no credit for doing the right thing, so why do it? why not just take the tens of millions of dollars of income? and suffer what probably would be a short season of press attention in washington, at best, on the issue of supreme court ethics before the washington press corps stops caring about supreme court ethics, and stops caring about the income derived by the wife of the chief justice of the united states. yes, there are some jobs that are so very important that if your spouse takes that job, you might have to quit your job and do something else. you will never be hearing about about contingent brown jackson 's husband about supreme court ethic storie

doug luzader, thank you. a lot can change between now and then, there is plenty of time to see what is going to happen. interesting to see what happens. the thing i cannot get over, elon musk is no dummy. he knows all about tech and technical issues and surely to goodness they prepared for this, or i would have thought they prepared more or did they not think this many people would log on? i can't see that explanation, i'm confused why this happened and why it happened when it did, lost so many people. i'm not going to deal with this. we were talking, we ran it and thought something was wrong with our air thachl is what happened to twitter, here is the moderator explaining what went wrong. >> laura, we had a million people trying to get into a twitter space, an online room, desantis melted the everybody issers, normally it takes a kardashian to do that. took 15 minutes, never had that level of scale, i think the biggest room was 100,000. we moved the room from elon's account to my account. then it worked perf

doug. >> doug: looks like wednesday may be the big day issue the house is expected to vote, that assumes enough support to get across the finish line and there are serious questions this morning. president biden and kevin mccarthy have been trying to sell this to lawmakers. this agreement suspend debt ceiling until 2025 and calls for free outside defense. >> we are barrelling toward unlimited debt in this country and have to stop that. just because the swamp is flawed didn't mean hard-working americans should take it on the chin, why accept that? >> democrats do not like enhancement for government aid programs and do not like how this played out. i've been angry for days for many reasons we've been held hostage. we cannot default on loan debt and i know that, but we cannot be rubber stamps. >> the pentagon defense department does see some increaseings and president biden said he got what he wanted. >> can you guarantee america's fighting force will have what it needs for the next couple years. >> president biden: whatever the fighting force needs, they passed my budget, what i asked for

. >> todd: doug luzader joins us. >> doug: for as much drama, who would have thought the agreement was the easy part. president biden says he feels good about getting this done thchl is a critical test for him and speaker mccarthy. this is more or less a freeze on spending and will fall short of what many republicans wanted, to go back to pre-covid spending levels and for many on the right, that will be a tough pill to swallow. we are barrelling toward unlimited debts, infinite amount of debt. just because the swamp is flawed, doesn't mean americans should take it on the chin. >> doug: on the left, democrats are angry over relatively small changes for food stamp recipientses who do not have dependents. >> i am angry, we are being held hostage. we cannot default on our debt and i know that, same time, we cannot be rubber stamps. >> doug: defense hawks think it is not enough. lindsey graham tweeted, use all power to undo this catastrophe for defense. i support raising the debt ceiling for 90 days to correct this disaster for defense. here is the president's take. >> can you guarantee tha

a clear case, doug thought, of right and wrong. >> the date u.s. representative john lewis, he said when you see something that isn't right, that's not fair, that isn't just, you have to speak up. you have to say something. you have to do something. and that's why i chose to try to help a man who was 3,000 miles away from me. >> i think he's great. i love this guy. wait a minute, he doesn't have a dog in this fight. but he did. and that was his compassion. that's what it really is about. >> reporter: so les now has an advocate in doug, working his sources, raising awareness, doing his best to help les add one more win to his baseball career. so what's at stake in all this? according to les and doug, if he does get the pension he's been owed for many years, it adds up to more than $1.5 million. of course, there is another side to the story. we reached out to major league baseball, have not heard from them to hear their side. it's obviously something that's been battled back and forth over just exactly how much time, how much credit does les get for

doug collins was ranking mab and iraq veteran.think the left will admit maybe just maybe joe biden had something to do with the biden family business dealings? >> douglas: i don't think we could get that lucky. they will never decide he does anything, they turned their back on it. after so much smoke and everything going on, every time we turn around, new text or e-mail linking joe to the family business, when is it time for independent department of justice say we can no longer not fully investigate this and put out in the public. this is the thing that bothers most people. looks like two sets of scales in this country. one for the biden family and one for everybody else. >> todd: tough for joe to say he didn't know now. to me, the context, i'm broke, combined with the backlash, outrage she showed toward jill biden puts picture out there of somebody who is desperate and will do whatever it takes to get money and get money quickly, is that your take? >> doug: hunter biden has been a loose cannon, who would put pictures on the inte

doug, nice to have you back on the program. what's the protocol here or game plan when this happens on board your flight? who's supposed to take control? >> well, the flight crew is going to take control, but the problem we have here is that this passenger got onto the airplane in the first place. it would be apparent that the agent who was boarding the flight either missed the signs of someone who had alcohol on their breath or was acting intoxicated and allowed this passenger onto the airplane. once he's on the airplane, you're in a confined space. the flight crew did everything they could to placate the person. and when the person struck out at them, they took action as would be expected. >> doug, you, as a pilot, are you hearing what's happening here? are they telling you in the cockpit, hey, something bad is going on. come out? >> you don't want to come out. actually, you want to stay in the cockpit. but generally this is happening so fast that the crew in the cockpit doesn't have a chance to respond other than if they hea

. >> ashley: doug luzader live from washington with the details. good morning. >> doug: good morning, this is the week we've been praying for and will find out if the worst case scenarios will play out at the border and whether the biden administration is prepared for this, what we've been seeing is large groups of immigrants and that number may swell thursday when covid era asylum restrictions of lifted. mayorkas has repeatedly despite images and what we're seeing issue the border is secure and he's ready for this. >> we've been preparing for this for more than a year and a half, you are correct. it is a regional challenge and it requires a regional response, which is why we're working with countries to the south. we need immigration reform. everything that the department of homeland security is doing and our federal government is doing is within a broken immigration system. >> doug: many members of congress from border states say the white house hasn't done enough. >> that is a band-aid, biden administration had two years to prepare and did not d

wanted your thoughts on this, doug. is that answer satisfactory?ecretary's answer? >> martha: yes. >> yeah, i think that for the time being it's okay. it involves hunter biden, a woman that he apparently had a relationship with where there's issues of paternity. that's far removed from the president of the united states. may not be a particularly good story, but i don't think it's going to have any impact on politics, his approval or ultimately the election. >> martha: well, one of the reasons it's getting attention is because of the financial web around hunter biden as well. so that makes it relevant i think because they're digging into his finances. how he made his money and all of that. what do you think about it, victor? >> well, i'd agree with doug if he was just a son and distanced from joe biden. a, he's been under federal or state investigation for a number of possible crimes. he accompanied the president to the ireland. he's been staying in the white house and there's some suggestions that he's got immunity from a summons. he's in knee dee

>> what an insult to kamala harris we already have a female vice president of color and doug and hisre. >> her numbers are worse than joe biden's. >> she has earned that. niece are man made crises. desantis had a moment to be iconic. the whole launch was ironic. great 2022. nobody had a worse 2023. could turn that around. wasted fix full months. he may be ruining himself for 2028 if it doesn't go well. some of those trump voters won't forgive him a ton of money in the bank. consultants who won't leave that race until they get every last dollar so we'll see him for a while. >> bret: kayleigh mcenany, doug, appreciate it. --kellyanne, thank you. >> grieving fiancee tells us what she blames for his killing. plus,.

senator doug jones, welcome to democracy now! if you could first respond to your former opponent --tuberville bu for the senate seat that you held -- talking about, responding to the issue of the pentagon secretary lloyd austin trying to route out why supremacist in the military. >> it is outrageous what he is saying. it is deplorable. he talks about the fact democrats are attacking the military. no, democrats are not attacking the military. we are supporting the military. it is senator tuberville who is attacking the military and all the policies, whether it is holding up nominations for promotions which affects readiness and morale or attacking the policies that the administration is trying to do to try to weed out these white nationalists, these white supremacist. you only have to look at what happened in boston recently where a young national guardsmen who leaked classified information and now we are learning he is the very kind of person the administration is trying to weed out of there. it makes no sense whatsoever what sen

ja jason and doug. i cut that short. people want to get to it. they want t know what it means.president and the vice president and kjp, why are they insisting the banking system is safe when clearly there are some banks out there that are struggling. >> look, for a policy maker it's a difficult balancing act. you don't want to convey panic, you don't want a false sense of reassurance. if you are watching the show and you have less than $250,000, your money is insured, you are getting it. more than 250,000, they will figure out a way to get every penny, but more needs to be done to bring stability to the system. >> sandra: doug, how do we do that? >> the key to make sure you use the tools designed to get banks in sound financial shape. people are conflating it with the fed to raise interest rates. today's labor report was sufficiently strong but when we look at the inflation report next week, the fed will conclude in june they have to raise again. so accept that, inflation is too high, go over and find the banks that have the weakest balance sheets and if necessary, merge them o

kennedy: what does this help, doug?y helps donald trump. it is not as strong a condemnation of the fbi as he wanted and hoped for. but, i think the bottom line. his assertion that the russia probe was russian collusion probe was fake news, has been more than borne out, and it should not never have happened. and hopefully, there will be follow-up on the fbi to make sure that the reforms they say, they made, actually have been made. kennedy: but, i still don't understand katherine, how fbi continues to operate with impunity. >> you and me both. this is you know. i can only hope that republicans who are channeling last of their outrage at donald trump treatment, remember how they feel and remember that when the shoe is so other foot, fbi has been shown to abuse power. to violate their own guidelines about proper conduct. and you know we have a bunch more special investigations, hanging out. it is a permanent state of affairs in washington, they are li politicized and continue to be. it is -- the idea that the fbi it didn't

. >> todd: doug luzader joins us. >> doug: federal officials are bracing for what will happen in title 42 comes to an end. numbers are spiking with fox drone team catching huge lines of immigrants crossing into texas. thousands per day. the chief of border patrol broke down the numbers and they are staggering. 26000 apprehensions, 7000 gotaways, big seizure of drugs ranging from marijuana, to meths, to cocaine and fentanyl. the council says the white house let this happen. they have had quite a while to get a handle on this, especially when it was one or two areas in texas we were dealing with and now spread across the southern border and to the northern border and to some coastal areas like miami. it is not going to take long for us to breech the 100,000 mark after may 11. >> the white house blames congress. >> since day one, what we're seeing from officials and republicans in congress, they want to play politics, they want to play politics and not deal with an issue that we -- that has challenged us for decades. this is nothing new, but challenged us for decades and the president is

sources say north dakota governor doug bergham will join in early june.ence, new hampshire governor chris sununu and former new jersey governor chris christie, bret. >> bret: all right, rich, thanks. the first whistleblower associated with the hunter biden criminal investigation testified to congressional staff in a closed session today. correspondent david spunt has the latest tonight from the justice department. good evening, david. >> hi, bret. good evening. his name is supervisory special agent gary ha ha shapely he spex hours behind doors house ways and means committee. talking about staff members from both sides of the aisle, republicans and democrats. his attorney said he answered all questions. the reason he was on the hill today, bret, was to try to seek some protection so he can tell his story. he wants some legal protections from congress. he began work on what he calls a high profile investigation in 2020. sources confirm that investigation is the hunter biden tax investigation that commenced in 2018. shapely says a meeting between investigato

neil: these early states, doug, how do they shape up to you?game obviously matters in iowa. matters in new hampshire, south carolina, some other states, advertising does as well but does advertising lose its oomph, impact this much ahead of the game? >> no, neil, i think you need advertising to make your case as hadley was suggesting. you need to tell voters through ad, direct mail, online, why you're running, why you're different, from the other republicans, trump and rest of the field and most of all why you will be a change from joe biden. but then the ground game gets the people to turn out in the caucus because there is no point in having a great advertising campaign if you don't get people out who say they're supporting you to actually participate. neil: you know, hadley, it's interesting the way this whole debt talk thing is going on the campaign trail. donald trump was famous for saying a couple of weeks ago on cnn, more like three weeks ago, when asked about it, go ahead and risk default. he didn't even add risk default. go ahead and d

maria: and a recent poll has president trump up 43 points on de santis, doug. >> yeah. santis getting in, i think the thing that's been the most interesting to watch ron de santis wait for these few months while being vetted for the first time on a national stage. when your policies and your actions get vetted on a national stage with somebody like donald trump, yeah, it's going to get shown and rights now it is donald trump's but i disagree with ron de santis. the republicans can beat joe biden if we as republicans make the clear case that america under joe biden has gone wrong and we've got to get back to the right. maria: i don't think that's a hard a case to make. i mean, look at everywhere you look it's incredible, there's a fire to put out everywhere. doug, thank you. it's always a pleasure to see you. 40e7 you're doing -- hope you're doing well. doug collins this morning. thank you, sir. >> thank you. maria: scams are on the rise. how you can keep your wallet safe when the guy next to you is trying to buy that concert ticket and scam you out. but first, the battl

doug, with you on importance of money. times in history where that hasn't been a big factor early on. by that definition jimmy carter would not have gotten the presidential nomination in 1976 but what do you make of what you're seeing now, particularly on the part of governor desantis? >> yeah, i think a lot of the money governor desantis has was money raised before his decline in the polls so the real question to me is, can he sustain this level of contribution because to close a 20 or 30 point gap with a former president, donald trump, is going to require literally hundreds of millions, if not a billion dollars for governor desantis. it is an open question because a lot of donors have been questioning him given his swoon in the polls. neil: yeah. without even coming out the gate. you know, hadley, another issue though is, it is not always a sign that he or she with the most money will command the most attention. by that definition jeb bush would have been walking away with this thing well before 2016. so what do you make

stan, doug, thank you very much for being with us.ere in nashville, tennessee. do you agree with the assessment of the new york times that a once sort of promising candidacy for desantis has faded a little bit? has it changed your support at all? >> no. no. i think dedesantis is a great candidate. if he gets in, i think he'll do quite well. pete: are you desantis the only, if i may ask, or is it -- would you -- where do you fall on the republican side if not desantis? >> well, i'm a strong conservative. i supported trump. i still like trump. i don't know that if he's necessarily the candidate for the next election. i like his policies and programs. i think desantis will have a similar approach the all these categories. finish. pete: absolutely. stan, you're a trump supporter. your take on the sort of competition going on between those two camps right now. >> well, again, yes, i am a trump supporter. i ran his campaign in the villages twice. i also like desantis because i ran his campaign -- [laughter] but my thought is we're hoping th

and doug's, doug really hit the nail on the head which is that we keep calling upon chairman powell to to come in and rescue the economy from all of the damage that the biden administration's spending and regulatory policy is doing. the idea that at a time when we're incurring 40-year-high inflation that we need to keep throwing more federal money into the economy, that we need to keep telling businesses to cut back on their activity in order to abide by regulatory the dictates and then wonder why the fed's got to the keep raising interest rates as high as they are, there's a reason high the american people have lost faith in the economic leaders in our nation. it's because they see themselves suffering from wages not keeping up, they see themselves suffering from being unable to find what they need at the grocery store, having to make trade-offs between food and energy, and it doesn't matter how much harder they try, their wages aren't keeping up with inflation -- elizabeth: yeah, for two years. >> -- because government won't get out of the way. elizabeth: for two years. >> right. eli

doug, good to see you. do you think this will end okay with our avoiding not only default we hope, but certainly a down credit rating? >> well someone who fly as lot. this reminds me of that message comes on, we will experience a little bit of bumpy area, make sure your seatbelts are tightened. this will be bumpy, neil. i had hope adweek ago they could get this done beforehand. i think the june 1 is deadline but not a drop-dead date. we'll see how it goes. i think they will get it done the last minute, it will be a messy affair. i do think they get it done. neil: apparently a lot is coming back how much of a freeze in spending each side will pursue. republicans want to keep it going for at least two years. democrats are saying, no more than one year. you know, both sides are wiggling back and forth. there are other nuances. how do you see those sticking points being resolved? >> it will be interesting because that is the part the white house has to be very aware of. most people understand if you don't have

doug emhoff's wife was elected vice president of the united states. even though his personal legal practice, mostly envolved entertainment law, could present no possible conflict with the vice presidents work, doug emhoff decided to quit his job. he drastically cut his income. to become a law professor at a local washington law school. an ethical choice available to the chief justice's wife but because the chief justice and his wife have assigned to themselves a much lower ethical standard than the vice president and her husband, john roberts is just going to force the country to live with the constant potential for conflict of interest with the way his wife makes him an even richer man than the wealth he was born into. john roberts glancing reference to maintaining the low ethical standards of the supreme court, you just heard chief justice stress, quote, our status as an independent branch of government under the constitution's separation of powers. and there he is trying to imply that the congress of the united states has absolutely no right to leg

you know, i've got your albums.i your directing doug mcgrath's one-man show "everything is f fine" atyour first time you are directing in 45 years. why -- you did direct before. >> john: i started out more as a director than an actor. what happened and drove you off -- >> i finally became a successful actor. it dawned on me that i like acting a lot more than directing. directing, you are worrying all the time until it is actually done. you are responsible for about 50 people minimum where as actor is not responsible for anything at all. >> stephen: you only get applause if you are lucky, you get applause on opening night. >> john: people don't even know who you are and if you show up two years -- two weeks after the opening night, they pay absolutely no attention to you. you are old history. feeling because i'm an actor. >> stephen: what you like about directing? >> john: well, i do love actors and i love acting and i love actors. i do feel as an actor, i do have one other way to guide them. >> stephen: you've been through it. >> john: i've through it and it's an interesting theme. by

it's only been two days, doug.- don't count your eggs before they hatch because they are not chickens yet, but do you think congressional republicans or other republicans will overhyped this? what does this mean for the strategy of fearmongering? that is what they are -- >> i don't think anybody overhyped it. i think it was the administration that said this is going to be chaotic. i think everybody agreed it would be chaotic. turns out it has not been as chaotic as we thought. we still have to see what happens in the next two or three days. clearly, republicans will continue to be critical of biden scrimmage -- the border as an example of that. we also know that, as we have these negotiations on the debt ceiling, this is one of these issues that place, the people see, the visuals are very impactful. it hasn't been as chaotic. we look at the numbers, that tells one story, but we see videos that tell a different story. that's where americans are still concerned about this. >> i spoke to mcallen of texas yesterday and

. >> joining me now is former democratic senator doug jones.now a distinguished senior fellow at the center for american progress. and my buddy frank figliuzzi, former fbi assistant director for counterintelligence. welcome to you both. frank, i need to tap into that smart brain of yours on the technicalities regarding whistleblowers. if you could give us just a quick refresher, primer, about what the whistleblower law is and what constitutes a whistleblower, and i then want to follow up, do any of these guys fit that bill? >> yeah, let's start with the quick answer on the last part. no. none of them have official whistleblower status because none of them chose to go through the approved paths, plural, that you can become designated as a whistleblower. a whistleblower is supposed to be reporting waste, fraud, or abuse or retaliation for becoming a whistleblower. you do it through, in the fbi, you do it through fbi first and/or go across the street to doj and you have the office of inspector general, the office of professional responsibility. it

maria: kro good point doug holtz-eakim that is not what we are we hearing from administration jb said regulation on the small banks he says that is the answer to this cries, completely ignoring the fact this was actually, the fault of supervision, bad supervision. >>. >> it is unbelievable the record across the agencies for this administration, is stunning. they could imposed 00 billion dollars regulatory costs in first year in office. that is 00-billion-dollar taxes, on all small businesses talking about, and kept up the pace, a big power plant rule today going to be very expensive, energy is expensive. you know when those costs show up on a business they have to pass them along they are big part of inflation story. so they should just be more reinspect full do it in a way not costliest much better prospects second half if they did that he everyone is focused on consumer if you look at business spending that typically leads to downturn every recession except for recent, that is the story. households usually follow quarter or two later capex go flat over past year concerned about that

joining us now, doug rice, a retired airline pilot. nice to have you back on the program. a simple question. i don't know if there is a simple answer. who is to blame? the southwest pilot or the air traffic control at sfo? >> more the air traffic controller than the southwest pilot. communications were blocked because more than one aircraft was transmitting at the same time. >> it seems to me interesting the way you say this. did you have this in your career as well, if more than one aircraft is transmitting, it blocks off the ear piece or however they're communicating? the headset? >> that's correct. more than one aircraft is transmitting, the frequency will be what they call blocked and no audio will come through. >> it seems like a pretty basic issue to resolve. why hasn't this been resolved? this equipment issue? >> this has been going on for decades. and it has not been deemed to be a significant hazard, or a significant safety hazard. it is something the pilots are used to dealing with. the key is the southwest pilot did not hear his clearance to take off and therefo

doug , let's go back to that. paul . 66% of americans are saying it would be unmitigated disasterf r if joe biden werice reelected. he's not on the ballot in the new hampshire primary. i guess he's banking strongly on south carolina. >> butprimary., you know, his sy is not really paying off. >> you have rfq, you and your twenty plus percent of the vote. now, that's a pretty big number for somebody who's just gottenst into the race. >> yeah,gy is not jason , i agj the presidenust has very subst substantial vulnerabilities. a majority of democrats don't oe want him to run for reelection.o i think junior's a threat to get anywhere from twenty five to 30% of the primary vote . that being said , i think it's important to note that in ime head to head races with trump and desantis, bidenae is either tied or slightly behind, slightly ahead. so to count biden out wouldhtlyb be a profound mistake.ehea and it's i think you andd. scott brown rightly pointed out the more the republican field and attacks one another ,the bette

asked about the sense of the other members, where is doug. hi, doug. the sense of the membership.it's going to be quite a tough conversation, doug, that's what i'm sensing. what i sense from the other members is that they wanted, still wanted two-tier system. now, let me step back and say that some of the criticisms made by the u.s. i think are valid and we need to recognize that. there's no reason why, you know, say the appellate body should take more than 90 days to give rulings that was originally mandated and it goes into years. that may be because cases are getting more complicated and sophisticated, but we can do something about this. overreach, yes, maybe we need to look at some of that. so, that's some valid criticism. other members have two developing countries through the system is not easy to access cess, but there's a strong desire foretwo-tier system. is that necessarily the appellate body recreated the way it was before? i'm not sure. and waying to have a two-tier time that is someone different and more creative, maybe. i sense more openness now to discussing that on
