but what is interesting is that he ends the week on saturday right back here where it all began in iowa. he will be here with senator joni ernst for an event on saturday with more iowans as they seek to go this message out and pitch to voters why he should be the person to lead the republican party and go up against president joe biden in 2024, why he is the alternative to trump. we expect to hear more about his vision tonight. he's been here in iowa several times leading up to this, but tonight we're expecting to see a crystallized speech about why he should be the person and what his vision is going forward. >> appreciate you kicking us off from iowa. let's bring the conversation back in the room. we just put up the travels this week. most of the republican candidates are going to the joni ernst event. there's not a debate until
so we wouldn't have a breakdown. >> by the first anniversary of teresa's death, there was still no arrests and the story was old news. so teresa's mother plastered this poster on doors and windows and telephone poles all around moundsville, hoping it would help dislodge some clue. but then, the weirdest thing happened. >> we found out that just about as quick as we were putting posters up, there were being taken down. >> taken down by someone who didn't want teresa's killer found, she presumed. in a dark thought crystallized in rita's mind. was it scott? >> you know, he had never acted like a grieving husband. if he had, i wouldn't have had this thought. >> so your thoughts actually increased over the course of the time that you are there. >> but you know what they say about assumptions. it wasn't scott. >> me and my brothers took him down. at first, i was okay with it,
voter turnout. it will be different because joe biden will have had four years in office. they will have something to vote on. quick story, on fox & friends we had a voter-focused group panel and many were democrats. i was shocked. i thought everybody has their opinion already made. it is crystallized. you are pro or anti-trump. that wasn't the case. several democrats said they would switch their vote to trump. why? because of their opinion of biden. my point is, he doesn't get to be nothing this time. he is something. and this time, it will be a referendum on joe biden. >> so i totally agree. but what is interesting is on my list of where republicans will have trouble is the converse which is that he is going to try to hide in the basement, except this time it is the oval office. the same way on the trump campaign we tried to smoke him out of the basement, we will have to smoke him out of the oval. he will try the same strategy. is it feasible? >> no. what you will have at that point is three and a half years, three years of tape. it is like a professional football or basketball game.

president clinton often using note cards at that point. and he was much younger obviously. what is interesting obviously age is a factor when it comes to, you know, attention, memory, things like that. it's not the only factor. your overall lifestyle is a big factor. how much you're exercising your brain, if you will, something you and i are have talked about, anderson. but if you think about the brain like a muscle the more you exercise it, the better it's going to perform. being president i think is one of those ways of exercising the pran. your genetics make a difference to some degree. his father and mother i think lived into their late 80s, early 90s. but there are different types of things that happen with age. i think this is really interesting. sort of break this down into crystallized abilities to fluid abilities. it's going up and to the right, the darker line. that's crystallized abilities over one's age. and you can see that they really continue to increase. this is your ability to have good vocabulary, good judgment, good sort of stored knowledge of
