Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Special Report With Bret Baier 2018

President , had been marginalized, and would likely leave after his Year Anniversary at the white house. That anniversary came and went yesterday and was accompanied by a tweet showing a Beaming Kelly and President Trump with the caption congratulations to general john kelly. Today we celebrate his first full year as white house Chief Of Staff. Today, white house officials told fox news that the president asked kelly to stay on through 2020, the end of his first term, and that kelly accepted very many of the previous rumors about kelly had come from within the white house and his changes elsewhere in the administration. With general kelly at his side, President Trump is going to war with the powerful Koch Brothers, who are waging a campaign against the present strategy of using tariffs to leverage new trade deals. Because of new tariffs, our Farmers Livelihoods are at risk. Carmakers, Factory Workers and macs you dont like manufacturers. Farmers want trade, not aid. Tell the administration and congress, open market and end tariffs. President trump took a blow torch to them, tweeting they have become a total joke in real republican circles, that he has beaten them at every turn and that they are two nice guys with bad ideas. And its not just tariffs. The Network Recently announced its willing to bet democrats over republicans if the democrats policies more closely align with the coke agenda. A spokesman saying we support policies that help all people improve their lives. We look forward to working with anyone to do so. On monday the network announced it would not support republican kevin kramer, who is locked in a tight race with north dakota democrat senator heidi heitkamp. It was very disappointing to see yesterday that they are not going to support kevin kramer. Heidi heitkamp voted against the tax cut. She has not been a supporter of the policies the president has put forward. As the feud rages, support for the president from an unexpected corner. Jpmorgan ceo jamie dimon, a former close ally of barack obama praising the president s economic policies. He has done things which accelerated growth. We needed competitive taxes and the way the American Public should drink it though might think about for 20 years we have been increasingly uncompetitive. Tonight at a Campaign Rally in tampa, President Trump will put his economic policies on the line. Hes making an appearance on behalf of congressman ron desantis, who is vying to become the next governor of florida. Bret see that live right here on fox. Roberts, thanks. The Trump Administration is studying the idea of what would amount by reducing the taxes levied on capital gains. Administration officials have said no decision has been made yet on whether to proceed. They say treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin prefers deferring to congress, but he does have his department studying the economic impact of such a change and the legality of proceeding without congressional approval. Democrats are denouncing this idea. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says the plan exposes the true priorities of the g. O. P. Tax scam. Facebook says it has uncovered new efforts to metal in u. S. Politics on its platforms, and it says those efforts may be linked to russia. Facebook officials have artie briefed members of congress. Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel has details tonight from capitol hill. 14 weeks from election day facebook announced it has taken down accounts engaged in a sophisticated political influence campaign. Earlier this morning we removed 32 pages and accounts from facebook and instagram because they were involved in coordinated inauthentic behavior. At this stage the social media giant isnt prepared to blame russia at least in public in part because the Account Holders try harder to hide their identities than russianbased A weeknight look at the news, featuring interviews, analysis and Panel Discussions hosted by Bret Baier. Chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee. He responded saying this. I will not put the american taxpayers on the hook for Senate Democrats fishing expedition. Bret so whats the latest on all this . Grassley stand up because those democrats are asking for basically every document that passed through Brett Kavanaugh when he was the Staff Secretary for president george w. Bush. Thats a massive gatekeeper role and that would be a huge amount of documentation. Chuck schumer, the Senate Democratic leader has appealed to former president bush. Hes appealed to the National Archivist and now grassley feels like hes trying to embarrass him so whats significant here is to comoderate republican senators, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have sided with chairman grassley in this battle. That is significant because of those moderates had gone with schumer, that could really drag out this whole confirmation process. Bret Going Forward october. Like emmanuel live on the hill, thanks. The dow gained 108 today. The s p 500 finished ahead 42, the nasdaq was up 18. The first day, the first trial the first day of the first trial has just ended for one of canada trumps top advisors. His former campaign chair. A jury was seated today in the case of Paul Manafort, the first case Brought To Trial by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The jurors will not hear anything about a low alleged rn collusion or Special Counsel headlines. Peter doocy is outside the federal courthouse in virginia tonight to tell us what this case is about. Good evening, peter. Good evening, brad the Court Session just ended for today but a little bit earlier this afternoon while prosecutors working for Robert Mueller tried to nail Paul Manafort for financial crimes by outlining his lavish lifestyle, the judge interrupted and told the mueller team its not against the law to have a lot of money, so the burden of proof on the Special Counsel is proving to be heavy. Lawyers for the man who was with the Trump Campaign for just five months are fighting to keep them out of federal prison for 305 euros. Paul manafort is charged with falsifying income taxes, and committing bank fraud, type 260 million the Special Counsel alleges he was paid as a consultant to ukrainian politicians and then hid from the irs. The chances of Paul Manafort trying to reach some kind of deal has passed us. Interrupted by lunch and a list of witnesses that to testify against manafort, including rick gates and former Bernie Sanders strategist tad devine has been presented. The providing judge, ts ellis is the same one who challenged the Special Counsels Focus On Financial Chargers for manafort back in may saying that we dont really care about mr. Manafort, you really care about what information needs to convince the jury to have the same kind of sympathy as the president because his fate is controlled by six men and six women from virginia. I dont think you go into this thinking even if i get convicted i still may get a pardon. I think thats a big risk. Late this afternoon, the mueller team called their first witness. It was the former Bernie Sanders strategist and colleague of Paul Manafort, tad devine, who was actually pretty complementary of manafort, but his testimony served to establish manaforts Deep Business Ties in ukraine. Somebody whose name was never mentioned by that witness or the mueller team or the defense team, donald trump. Bret peter doocy outside the courthouse. Thanks. Now to news overseas. Iranian Officials Say if President Trump wants to talk, the u. S. Must rejoin the Iran Nuclear Deal he left last spring. That terse response comes after the president said he would negotiate with anybody. Correspondent rich edson has more reactions on it. President trump says he would meet with iranian president who saw him run honey. Iran says the president should forget it. Foreign minister tweeted the two countries have already spoken. Negotiating a Nuclear Agreement and threats, sanctions and p. R. Stunts wont work. Try respect for iranians and for international commitments. President trump says his administration is implementing an aggressive stance towards iran. Still the president says hes prepared to talk. No preconditions. They want to meet, i will meet. Anytime they want. His Secretary Of State mike pompeo then appeared to outline conditions. The iranians demonstrate a commitment to make fundamental changes in how they treat their own people, can agree that its worthwhile to enter a Nuclear Agreement that actually prevents proliferation, than the president said hes prepared to sit down and have a conversation with them. The state Department Says the president has offered to meet without conditions stands. The president and the secretary have both said that. The Trump Administration will begin imposing additional sanctions in iran. Restrictions the United States once lifted as part of the iran Nuclear Agreement. China, russia, britain, france and germany are trying to salvage the agreement without the u. S. The threat of additional u. S. Sanctions has already forced european businesses to scrap investments in iran. Irans Foreign Minister is pressuring the europeans to ignore potential u. S. Sanctions penalties and invest in iran anyway. Europeans should decide whether their businessmen, banks and government or to pursue european interests or american interests, or in particular trumps interest. While the u. S. Maintains economic pressure, the administration continues its assault on irans leadership. They seem more concerned with riches than religion. Last week secretary pompeii called the leaders hypocritical official told fox. The south korean government is closely watching north Korean Movement and closely working with the United States. This comes after last weeks news that the north continues to produce material for nuclear bombs. After last month commitment to work towards denuclearization by north korean north Korean Leader kim jong un at the summit with the President Trump. Experts say he didnt promise to halt Nuclear Activity now. Theyre basically staying true to what kim has been saying, which is that hes going to start mass producing material but also missiles. The still the talking continues. Today the dmz generals from North And South Korea met again to work on regional issues that might lead to bigger things. I believe processing interkorean issues is a meaningful initial step to ease military tensions. The north has made concessions, the blowing up of a nuclear test site, the dismantling of a missile Test Facility and the remains of what is believed to be 55 u. S. Service members missing since the korean war. Said to be repatriated back to hawaii tomorrow. We told chairman kim if we can denuclearize your country there is a Brighter Future for the north korean people. Chairman kim might want more. I think from north koreas perspective they have done a lot and i suspect that they are building some momentum for asking the u. S. For concessions. Those concessions to north korea could mean an easing of sanctions or the signing of a peace treaty, both of which the u. S. Is not yet ready to do. No one said this is going to be easy. Bret greg palkot, thank you. Turkeys State Run Media says a court has rejected an american pastors appeal for his release from house arrest and refused to lift his travel ban. The court ruled there was no change in the strong criminal suspicion against pastor andrew brunson. He faces up to 35 years in prison in turkey if convicted of terror and espionage. President donald trump is threatening sanctions against turkey over this case. Turkey insists it will not give in. Up next we have some Breaking News we are following.

Meantime, a massive blaze in Northern California<\/a> has now destroyed almost 900 homes and torched more than 170 square miles. It is believed to be one of the most destructive fires in california state history. Correspondent jeff paul is live again tonight in redding, california,. There is no end in sight. Its just been devastating, really. Its so hard. Fires burning in california continue Scorching Acre<\/a> by acre, Leveling Homes<\/a> by the hundred bearing i lost it all. Every bit of it. Im sorry. There are now at least 15 major wild bikers burning across the golden state. A Car Fire Burning<\/a> in redding which claimed the lives of at least six people, now considered the seventh most devastating fire in state history, destroying close to 1,000 homes. I used to fight fires back in the 70s in 80s and ive never seen anything like this. The most active the complex fires. A pair of fires burning north of San Francisco<\/a> which doubled in size overnight and is now threatening thousands of homes. And just to give you an idea of how indiscriminately these fires are burning, two houses behind me here in redding, they look fine, the car is okay, the grass barely grain but then you walk a few feet just across the street\rand you have the opposite seen. A car burned down to its metal, the home destroyed, the grass in the front yard blackened by all the smoke and fire and firefighters say thats what makes these fires so hard to fight. They dont know where they are going to go next. This is once in 100 years, it just seems like each year it gets a little worse and worse. Firefighters at the front lines are feeling at working around the clock, their aggressive efforts are paying off. If Containment Levels<\/a> are increasing, giving families hope for tomorrow. Everything is still here. Im optimistic about that. The stories of strength that we are hearing about in these communities are incredible. One local hospital telling us that more than 40 employees have lost their homes, but they are still showing up to work to help others despite losing everything. Bret live in redding, jeff, thanks. Up next, should the government allow you to access directions about how to 3d print your own gun . Some Breaking News<\/a> on this story\rtonight. Keep it here. Ight need some support. Yes start them off right. With the School Supplies<\/a> they need at low prices all summer long. Save 200 on this dell laptop at office depot officemax. Save 200 on this dell laptop ito take care of anyct messy situations. And put irritation in its place. And if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected. You can get comfortable doing the same with yours. Preparation h. Get comfortable with it. Bret this is another fox news alert. A federal judge moments ago issuing a temporary Restraining Order<\/a> staffing the release of downloadable lubricants for 3d printed guns. Earlier today President Trump<\/a> tweeted that he is consulting with the nra on this controvers controversy. Correspondent anita vogel tells us to make several states are actually suing the Trump Administration<\/a> to block this release. For god sakes, when it comes to something as basic as public safety, our State Department<\/a> saying this is a giveaway for terrorists. Fear and outrage from the Washington State<\/a> attorney general as he filed suit against the State Department<\/a> on behalf of nearly a dozen states over the governments decision to allow a Texas Company<\/a> to publish files detailing how to build a gun with something as simple as a 3d printer. Critics say these ghost guns\rwill be made of plastic with no serial numbers and will be practically invisible. These firearms will be undetectable. They will pass through Metal Detectors<\/a> without a blip, a buzz, or a bell that is going off. These ghost guns arent the new wave of american gun violence. Because the State Department<\/a> is charged with regulating the sale of firearms outside of the u. S. , it was the agency which blocked Texas Company<\/a> defense disrupted after it briefly published the Gun Blueprints<\/a> in 2013. The company then sued the State Department<\/a>, the owner cody wilson claiming his freespeech rights were being violated. The government does not have the power to tell people they can post information on the internet. Thats a violation of free speech. Also, state law is trumped by federal law. Just last month the State Department<\/a> settled that student saying certain firearms and related items are already\rwidely available for sale. The license to both sleeves online. If this is an unconstitutional action. This didnt happen by accident. The Trump Administration<\/a>, pushed by the gun activists, did this. Defense distributed file that of august 1st the age of downloadable guns would formally begin but as you noted at the top, within the last half hour, a District Judge<\/a> in seattle has granted a temporary Restraining Order<\/a>, meaning the Company Defense<\/a> distributed cannot publish those pictures of 3d guns online for the time being. We will be following this story and see where it goes from here. Back to you. Bret we will, thank you. President trump asked his Chief Of Staff<\/a> to stay on through 2020. We will get reaction to that and all the days news from the panel when we come back. Call one today. Are you in good hands . Ive been Making Blades<\/a> here at gillette for 20 years.

So im in for the long haul. Bret Chief Of Staff<\/a> john kelly here on Special Report<\/a> despite stories like these from the new york times, how long can john kelly hang on . Cbs news, it may be on the way out. Nbc news, basically hes leaving and the wall street journal, as well as some reporting that we had here on fox that he may be leaving. John kelly is staying on according to the white house. The president asking him, one Year Anniversary<\/a> yesterday, tweeting out congratulations, but asking him to stay on 22020 as sources say he has said yes. Lets start there with the panel. Jonah goldberg, Senior Editor<\/a> at national review. National public radio. Mollie hemingway, Senior Editor<\/a> at the federalist and because hes a good egg we have greg. Nice bret cohost of the five, whose new book is out today. Retribution. It was a good rhyme, brett. Bret what happened to dana . I think the whole segment should be about what happened to dana. Oh, my god. Bret john kelly, jonah, staying on. Its like heads are exploding in washington. What happened . The rumor mill was very, very strong. The reporting seem to be pretty clear about this and i dont know. It seems to me that at the very minimum we can say that this kills the story for a little while but the president has said he has full faith and confidence in various other members of his cabinet will havent endured much longer than that. I would still be surprised if john kelly is actually there through 2020, but it seems like they wanted it to be the end of the story and john kelly, my understanding is that john kelly does not function like a normal Chief Of Staff<\/a>. Normally a Chief Of Staff<\/a> funnels the information and personnel who get to see the president. Hes more like a Senior Advisor<\/a> who does manage down, but doesnt manage up the way traditional Chief Of Staff<\/a>s do. So its interesting, i dont have a great theory about why this got a 180. First of all, if he does make it all the way to 2020, and we really have no idea if you will, that will be a very long time. That will be the longest. I think john kelly managed to bring some order and discipline to the white house, but the president doesnt want to be managed in the way a normal Chief Of Staff<\/a> a typical Chief Of Staff<\/a> would do. He likes free will and conversations. He likes to talk to whenever he wants to whoever he wants to. Its okellys efforts to kind of control the Information Flow<\/a> to him, thats where he didnt succeed. Bret mollie, the president also likes to break up white house narratives or washington narratives. Like just say thats not true. We could not have had more anonymously sourced stories saying this man was on his way out within hours or minutes or days. Certainly he wouldnt last past the end of the summer. We had so much reporting saying that. So at the very least of this story, which also is sort of anonymously sourced but the white house is not knocking it down. They always knocked on those other stories, they always call them fake news. They are not doing that in this case. I think thats significant but maybe the real lesson edge we should care less about palace intrigue and more about the actual policies that are coming out of this white house and the fact that there are people who support these policies that make it more effective. Mollie is absolutely right. The loser here is the person who keeps saying sources say, or in that sentence that begins with we hear. Every time i read we hear or sources say i know its wrong and the great trick here what trump is doing is that the assumption is not just that john kelly is going to be there through 2020 but so is trump. Basically making you think past hes not going to be impeached. Hes going to be around. So its pretty cool. Kelly is part of that good cop crazy cop framework like Lethal Weapon<\/a> where mel gibson is riggs\rand kelly is whats his name, murtaugh, the danny glover character. It makes america feel good to see those guys in that office, to see pompeo, mattis, bolton and kelly, because they kind of counter this impulsive rogue mel gibsonlike president. Bret so do we get a Special Report<\/a> monologue . Is that the second iteration of the book . I want to talk about the shutdown back and forth. Take a listen to this. Its completely concerning to us, its consternation. Frustration at this point as to why congress will do its job. Im hoping we are going to be able to resolve this issue. We know its important to him. Most republicans including myself agree that we ought to fund the wall. The leader and i have had almost daily conversations about the Appropriations Bill<\/a> and we are making very good progress. The fly in the ointment here of course is the president. Whenever he gets involved he seems to mess that up. Bret now there seems to be this kind of walk back that he has told staff he is not talking about a shutdown before the midterms but then tweets out i dont care about the political ramifications. This is a threat he has made before about how he is willing to shutdown the government in order to get what he wants, funding for the wall and other Immigration Measures<\/a> but this one was pretty diluted pretty quickly. He said he didnt have a redline in terms of how much money he wanted for the wall. It wasnt clear whether he was talking about preelection or afterwards and congress is actually passing Appropriations Bills<\/a> for the first time so he would have to veto a lot of them if you really wanted to shut down the government. So congress doesnt want to shut it down. I think hes trying to send a message to his base, i care so much about these Immigration Issues<\/a> that im willing to do something drastic like shutdown the government but everybody ive talked to doesnt think its going to happen. Bret doesnt move the Needle Electorally<\/a> . I think this is an issue where you are seeing Huge Division<\/a> specifically in the Republican Party<\/a>, the donor base that wants to continue the Immigration Policy<\/a> as it has been but the voter grace that has gotten rather sick and tired of continuing with things and not dealing with some of the systematic problems in our Immigration Policy<\/a> so its hard to see how it plays out because you have a divided repair, the donors versus the voters. Bret speaking of the elections, the Koch Brothers<\/a>, now in the sights of President Trump<\/a>. Take a listen. Because of new tariffs, our Farmers Livelihoods<\/a> are at risk. Carmakers, Factory Workers<\/a> and manufacturers too. Farmers want trade, not aid, tell the administration and Congress Open<\/a> markets and end tariffs. They are ideologues. They are not just supporting republicans. They are also supporting democrats. We are not going to equivocate on who we are going to support. We are supporting republicans, majorities that are going to help this president passes agenda. Bret the president tweeting the globalist koch\rbrothers have become a total joke. I never sought their support because i dont need their money or bad ideas. They love my tax and regulation cuts, judicial picks and more. I made them richer, their network is highly overrated. I have beaten them at every turn. They want to protect their companies outside the u. S. From being taxed. Im for America First<\/a> in the american worker. A puppet for no one, to nice guys with bad ideas, make America Great<\/a> again. Strong letter to follow. Was going to say that. The simple fact is first of all the coke network, 96 of the candidates that they backed in 2016 won their races. 7 out of 8 senators. A lot of this has to do with the data that the afp, one of the offshoots of the koch network collects that they are not sharing. At this idea that we heard even more stridently from steve bannon recently that the kochs need to shut up and get with the program, they have been in favor\rof drug legalization, criminal justice reform, they were against the iraq war. Bret they are libertarian. And they have 40 billion apiece. I dont want to sound like dana perino but theres a certain amount of squirrel you money that allows them to live up to their principles. Of course shes the head of the Republican Party<\/a> but thats not the Koch Networks<\/a> job. They were very slow to embrace donald trump but when he started doing things that they approve dub like the tax cuts and deregulation, they like that. But they have certain principles. Trade is one of them and they have so far decided not to support kevin kramer. Allowed women of supporting grammar. I like the Koch Brothers<\/a> because they dried the left crazy. The left portrays them as the evil power demons. I think this is just a fight among parents. Whats the best meal to have tonight and the kids should just let it go. I dont think its that big of a\rdeal. His tweets are just getting longer, thats the real problem. They enlarge the suites and he still is going past the limit. That was like a short novel. Dana could teach him a thing. Bret we are not going to talk about dana in the next panel. Next up, it appears north korea is still working on his Weapons Program<\/a> and iran says no dice on talks. Gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea can start in the colon, and may be signs of an imbalance of good bacteria. Only Phillips Colon Health<\/a> has this unique combination of probiotics. It helps replenish good bacteria. Get fourinone symptom defense. Movement and is closely working with the United States<\/a>. However, i hope you understand that we are not able to speak about the intelligence. Bret from our pentagon team, its business as usual. It officials the latest technology with the latest assessment north korea told fox news specific goals specifically noting that the regime is building intercontinental ballistic missiles. No evidence that north korea has halted work on Missile Development<\/a> despite dismantling parts in a recent week. Jonah, what does this tell us . I find this utterly not surprising. My position has always been it has nothing to do with the term, it has to do with the north koreans, the north koreans have organized their entitled political system for 30 years around the need to have Nuclear Weapons<\/a>. Asking them to give up their Nuclear Weapons<\/a> voluntarily is like asking the hells angels to give up their motorcycles and switch to scooters. It is part of their identity as a nation and is not even clear\rto me that kim jong un could survive a coup if he actually gave away the nukes. So this does not shock me. Bret days ago the president waited a rocket has not been launched in nine months. Likewise, no nuclear text till my test. The fake news this thing without ever asking me, always Anonymous Sources<\/a> that im angry because its not going fast enough. Wrong, very happy. But he cant be happy about missiles Going Forward<\/a>, right . I agree with jonah. They should not be surprising. Kim publicly stated they were going to continue building ballistic missiles. There was nothing in those talks that would indicate he would stop doing it and they do not have sufficient incentive right now to stop with their materials with their building with the ballistic missiles. This is part of a larger program, which is deterrence, which we need to continue doing. We need to keep the lines of communication going, and that has gone well. Some of the bodies of the dead soldiers returned and that is a very good start. We also need to think about containment as we continue to\rpursue the denuclearization strategy. It can take a long time but its not surprising. Bret the Vice President<\/a> is going over to hawaii to meet the remains there. Go ahead. That is not the message that donald trump has been sending. He came back from that meeting in singapore and said theres no more Nuclear Threat<\/a> from north korea. Lately hes saying im very patient, its okay if it takes a long time, but he was very invested in saying the meeting was a success, i have solved the problem, as he put it, everyone can sleep easier and he will have to backpedal from that. People are sleeping easier. Its a much better situation right now than it was a year ago. Then exchanging threats to destroy each other, sure. He always said lets see what happens and i think you are seeing what happens. I dont think north korea should hold what they are doing. They are waiting for a grand gesture. Its like a romance. Youve got to put a ring on it. And until theres actually a commitment, and agreement, a former declaration of peace, i dont see why they wouldnt stop doing it, we wouldnt stop doing it. I think its now who does it first. I think thats where we are not. Im very positive about this. I do feel better about the world and i think that things have happened. Bret and you have said you were an. Im worried about everything but i worry less about north korea and i just think that for this to happen, they dont trust us, we dont trust them so they are waiting for the grand gesture. Bret speaking of grand gestures, the president yesterday talking about iran. Preconditions, no. They want to me, i will meet. Anytime they want. Anytime they want, its good for the country, good for them, good for us and good for the world. Demonstrated commitment to make fundamental changes in how they treat their own people, reduce their malign behavior, agree that it is worthwhile to enter a Nuclear Agreement<\/a> that actually prevents proliferation and the president said hes prepared to sit down and have a conversation with them. Bret sounded different there, jonah. Foreign statement, Foreign Ministry<\/a> statement said no, were not going to do. This is what unites these two stories and also pompeos testimony last week. Pompeo very strenuously tried to say, imply, suggest, that the president says off the cuff isnt the policy. What we are actually doing on the ground is the policy. So here we have two sound bites from the Secretary Of State<\/a> essentially flying back what the president says off the cuff on television and its a weird way to run a railroad. The president s statements are not u. S. Government policy. We are that over and over again. John bolton keeps saying that is not the policy of the United States<\/a> government but the president is the United States<\/a> government, so what does that mean . That other countries should discount what he says and wait for pompeo to explain it . The last three president s who won my collections were people who wanted to meet with the countrys adversaries. This is something the electorate wants, even if the foreign\rpolicy consensus in d. C. He acts like its crazy. For a lot of americans there was no difference between what they heard donald trump say and mike pompeo. They want to have a different approach to Foreign Policy<\/a>, one based more on National Interest<\/a> than interventionism. Bret lessor here, greg. I look at the personnel and im not worried. I look at pompeo. I look at bolton. These are grim people. Bolton is a walking no. Its a Different Administration<\/a> in my opinion that i think they go in there and they are more levelheaded. To paraphrase jonah, its like comparing this level of Foreign Policy<\/a> with the previous is like a humvee to a schwinn. These guys mean business. Bret good luck on the book, thanks for stopping by. Always good to see you. Bret Hopefully Dana<\/a> will be okay. Got her a swear jar.
