grave right now. >> we should get rid of the word covers. kristina: you mean hole. >> covers, too. look what goes on underneath the covers. that is really -- >> garyly and insignificant but look, it's not a new attack. these type of things, we talk about the local municipalities being experiments for the nation writ large. this doesn't bother me. i think it's crazy silly that manhole is somehow offensive but this is what's happening in berkeley. it's one of the reasons interestingly in my opinion, a recent study said that berkeley was the worst place to buy a new home, a recent -- i think some of these types of proposals are probably the reason why. >> this reminds me of a demolition man. you said something inappropriate, you get -- kristina: two points. great human effort there. it is going to cost the city $600. it's not free. but let's move on. >>> president trump announcing this afternoon the united states has shot down an iranian drone in the strait of hormuz. what the pentagon is saying now and reaction from fox news national security and foreign policy analyst on where things will be going from here. that's next. once again i have revolutio
