subject to appellate review. the weinstein case was very different. prosecutors need to be very careful about what instances they bring into a case. as long as the defense is objecting to those things they preserve the issues on appeal. the biggest thing. if prosecutors prove that maybe, just maybe trump did something to affect the election, or possibly or with 100% certain, it is probable that he took these actions to affect the election, that's not enough. that's not proof to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. they will need some solid evidence to say he did those things, number one, he did those things. knowingly, intelligently, voluntarily to affect the election and not for the myriad of other reasons he could have taken those actions. >> dana: thank you so much. we appreciate you. >> my pleasure. >> dana: a fox news alert.

court is back in session as the lead-off witness for the prosecution returns to the stand in the new york criminal case against former president donald trump. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," bill hemmer is off today but shannon is my partner in crime and down at the courthouse. >> shannon: good to be with you. i'm shannon bream. right now the trump defense is continuing its cross examination questioning that former publisher of the "national enquirer." the major update out of the trial since court began 30 minutes ago, the judge began today's session by pushing back next week's gag order hearing from wednesday afternoon. it is now going to be thursday morning at 9:30 eastern. we'll have you covered on that. as cross examination began a member of the prosecution began the questioning yesterday was unclear when he was referencing federal and state prosecutors. >> dana: on his way to court he said he should be on the campaign trail, not new york city. >> yesterday went very well in

this courthouse. it was -- it should be over. the case is over. you heard what was said and the case should be over. but you will have to make that determination. i think we have a judge that will never allow this case to be over. he is highly conflicted. the most highly conflicted judge i have ever seen. and yesterday i think the supreme court had to do with immunity. i heard the argument was brilliant. i listened to it last night and thought it was great and the judges' questions were great. all presidents have to have immunity. this has nothing to do with me, absolutely nothing. all presidents have to have immunity. or you don't have a president. certainly not a president that the founders wanted. so we have another day of court in a freezing courthouse. it is very cold in there. on purpose i believe. they don't seem to be able to get the temperature up. it shouldn't be that complicated but we have a freezing

courthouse and that's fine. just fine. this is a weak trial. thank you very much. >> shannon: eric shawn is covering it outside the courthouse. good morning, eric. >> good morning, shannon and dana. prosecutors have had a chance to try to tie former president trump to buying those stories of mcdougal and daniels in order to protect his election chances in 2016. but so far this jury has not heard that. and right now the former president's lawyer is cross examining david pecker and perhaps we can get to that later on this morning or sometime this afternoon. right now pecker back on the stand after he testified that he paid former playboy playmate mcduly ago to ditch her story to protect his friend and his presidential campaign. it was also the goal of michael cohen. so far there has been no mention

that pecker was directed personally and directly by donald trump himself to buy off the two women to protect his election chances. that's the key to the prosecution case. d.a. alvin] charged 34 counts of falsifying business records at felonies. the defense attorney's goal is try to separate his client from the deal making that pecker and cohen were doing. he testified to several conversations with trump but none revealed that trump said to buy the story directly to protect the race. trump was angry when mcdougal's story was made public and trump asked about karen after he was elected referring to her as our girl. the presidential race never came into it. perhaps this could happen today in court. the defense attorney could ask david pecker did donald trump ever directly tell you to buy karen mcdougal's story or stormy

daniel's story to protect his chances in the election? if the answer to that question is no from david pecker, it could blow up this case and it would be a major defeat for prosecutors, if the defense attorney comes back and says in other words you are telling this jury that my client never asked you directly buy this to protect his election chances and the answer is no, that's not what the prosecutors will want to hear. we'll see if that's part of the defense strategy today. back to you. >> shannon: eric shawn, thank you. >> dana: in d.c. the supreme court now weighing the scope of presidential immunity. the decision could determine whether donald trump is immune from prosecution in his election interference case. will sharp is the attorney representing trump standing by. let's go to david spunt to help us understand, david, what happened yesterday and where are

we now and when do we expect a decision? >> it could come any time before the end of june. right now the justices meet today behind closed doors in washington at their weekly conference to formally discuss this case. a case that puts them square in the middle of the 2024 presidential election. the former president, of course, is charged with attempting to overturn results of the 2020 election. he claims the allegations surround a time when he was still president and everything he did was considered an official act. the justices were quick to point out this case will stretch far beyond donald trump. gorsuch said yesterday that he and the other justices are writing a rule for the ages. now while trump wants full immunity from prosecution, justice kagan noted the framers of the constitution wrote no such clause for a president. >> they were reacting against a monarch who claims to be above the law. wasn't the whole point that the president was not a monarch and

the president was not supposed to be above the law. >> if an incumbent who loses a very close, hotly contested election knows that a real possibility after leaving office is not that the president is going to be able to go off into a peaceful retirement, but that the president may be criminally prosecuted by a bitter political opponent, will that not lead us into a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country as a democracy? >> there are lawful mechanisms to contest the results in an election and outside the record, but i think of public knowledge, petitioner and his allies filed dozens of electoral challenges.

>> trump lost those legal challenges to the 2020 election. end of june is the last we would hear from them. the latest we would hear from them. could be any time before that. >> dana: what are the top three things that could happen here? >> well, if the justices rule in favor of donald trump, we may not see a trial in washington, d.c. at all for attempts to try to overturn the 2020 election. if they rule against donald trump in some way, special counsel jack smith will move forward with his prosecution. the question is when that is going to happen because the judge paused the case in washington, d.c. while this went to the supreme court. so they need at least 2 1/2 months to get the engines back on to get things moving. the third thing, of course, it may go back down to the appeals level or trial level if the justices have some sort of piecemeal decision that further would delay things past the election and that's what trump's

team wants is to get any trial to happen after the election, if one happens at all. jack smith wants one before the election. >> dana: david spunt in washington, d.c. for us. thank you so much. joining us for more on all this is attorney will sharp. he is on the legal team representing former president trump before the u.s. supreme court and a candidate for missouri attorney general. thank you for making time for us today. david axelrod was a campaign consultant and worked in the white house for obama. he now has a big podcast and tweeted this yesterday. based oh than what we heard today from scotus it may seem trump may skate past the election without standing trial on the january 6th charges. if so the new york city trial is likely the only he will face pre-november. under the circumstances the best scenario he could have hoped for. how do you see it? >> we were certainly optimistic coming out of the supreme court yesterday. they seem to be taking this issue of presidential immunity, the scope of presidential immunity, very seriously and

they seemed very receptive to our arguments without a robust presidential immunity for a president's official acts in office, the presidency itself as an institution could be absolutely crippled and we wouldn't have presidents able to take decisive action the constitution intended because of this fear of political prosecutions after they leave office. so i think it was a great day for us in court yesterday. we'll obviously have to wait a little bit to see their final opinions in this case. but in the meantime, i think we're pretty excited by the way the court seems to be viewing this basket of issues. >> shannon: will you know during the arguments yesterday, there were a number of justices worried about worst case scenarios where you have a president who staged a coup. now he is out of office and you can't impeach him. is there no way that would be an act that he could be held liable for? for the average person who hears

that hypothetical on street they would have a problem with that even if they agree presidents have some kind of immunity. >> we think the constitution provides powerful checks against exact life that sort of parade of whhorribles, we've worked throughout the duration of the public. we fear the greater threat what james madison referred to as the use of artificial tree sons, the political show trials of banana republicans. without presidential immunity that's the future we have to fear. all of these outlandish fierce of military assassinations and coupes we haven't seen that in american history. the use of the legal system by political faction to persecute their opponents is the real fear we need to avoid. that seems to be what the

supreme court was focused on yesterday, particularly with questioning by justice alito and gorsuch. >> dana: shannon asked jonathan turley earlier, i have no answer to this because i'm not a lawyer. do you think that you will get this decision sooner than later or will they wait until june? >> i think it's likely we'll see this decision on a normal time frame, which would be let's say mid to late june. remember back in december jack smith tried to do an end run around the entire appellate process in this case, asked the supreme court to expedite things to have essentially an immediate supreme court hearing on these presidential immunity issues before the d.c. circuit had the chance to weigh in. the supreme court rejected that effort without a single noted dissent by a 9-0 vote. i think the supreme court understands how serious these issues are. i think they want to take their time getting to the right decision. and i don't think they will let

a political timeline get in the way of making sure they get the law right here on a momentous issue like presidential immunity. >> dana: will sharp, thank you so much. we appreciate your time as we wait to hear what the supreme court decides. thank you so much. >> great to be with you. thank you. >> dana: continue our coverage of trump's trial. is his legal team poking holes in pecker's testimony. giving voice to victims of atrocities. this may be upsetting for some viewers but it is important. >> first thing you see is terrorist drags her out and her face looks terrified. she is barefoot and in her pajamas. they are blood stained. >> dana: a new documentary shedding light on the sexual

violence by hamas on october 7th. sheryl sandberg put it all together and she joins me next. >> in this moment since october 7th i felt like we were sliding back to a what place where we would start accepting the unacceptable. and i can't let that happen. i really tried sleeping with it, everybody. but i'm done struggling. now i sleep with inspire. inspire? inspire is a sleep apnea treatment that works inside my body with just the click of this button. a button? no mask? no hose? just sleep. yeah but you need the hose, you need the air, you need the whoooooosh... inspire. sleep apnea innovation. learn more, and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com veteran homeowners need cash but worried you can't get a home loan because of your credit? here's great news. at newday we've been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own loan approval decisions.

>> shannon: we're at the courthouse in new york city covering the latest day of the criminal trial against president trump related to payments to a former adult star stormy daniels who claims she had a tryst with him. the former publisher of the "national enquirer" establishing there were a lot of celebrities that had stories killed or the

enquirer would buy them from going to a rival outlet suggesting it was more about money and capitalism and not about campaigning or swaying and election. we'll continue to cover this cross examination and whichever witness comes next. that's it for here for now. dana. >> rape is targeted. rape is terror. rape is torture. the world has to decide who to believe. do we believe the hamas spokesperson who said that rape is forbidden therefore it couldn't possibly have happened on october 7th? or do we believe the women whose bodies tell us how they spent the last minutes of their lives? it is inexcusable when those who have the capacity to make a difference don't. >> dana: sheryl sandberg at the united states last december calling for leaders to condemn is sexual violence committed by hamas on october 7th. much of the world has forgotten

or down played the horrors of that day. her new documentary is serving as are reminder entitled screams before silence and details the harrowing accounts of victims and first responders. a clip from a woman who survived the massacre at the nova music festival. >> when you hear this for 20 minutes or 15 minutes you understand that something much worse happening right over there. and it is not -- it doesn't stop. it was the time when i started to be afraid. i'm going to be raped. >> dana: sheryl sandberg is the host of this documentary and founder of lean in.org. you are not a documentarian.

>> i am not. >> dana: why did you want to do this? >> becauses you just said after october 7th reports were come out about not just mass murder but mass sexual violence. the usual people who should be speaking out were either ignoring it or denying it and that is not okay. and this documentary gives anyone a chance to hear directly from first responders. in this documentary i walk into a field with this guy name ramy. huge guy. sirens go off on october 7th. he drove to where the terrorists were and rescued hundreds of people but he also got to this forest and he saw women naked, legs spread, bloodied, tied to trees and he sits there and tells that story crying that he couldn't save them. i think the world needs to see and acknowledge what happened here. >> dana: we have a bit of that to play for everybody here,

watch. >> if it's okay i would like to see some of what you saw. >> as you could see the body was brutal, different stages. this is part of the breast. over here and over here and over here. and what is that there? >> that's one foot, another foot. this is the body with the nails and when we get closer you can see the nails. >> oh my god. >> dana: cheryl, hamas, when they did the attack, sexual assault was part of the plan.

>> correct. >> dana: it wasn't just random guys that decided to be violent. they wanted to commit these sexual assaults. >> i believe that and i think anyone who sees this documentary will believe that. this was happened at multiple locations. body after body coming in naked. i asked one of the witnesses in the film who has processed dead bodies after tragedy and terrorism in multiple locations and in your experience how often are they naked? he looks up and says never. this was on purpose, part of a systematic attack for terror. >> dana: one of the things that bothered me, and i know you and some other people, not enough people. is that women's groups are pretty much silent. it took them forever to say something. at the u.n. it took them months to send somebody over to look at what happened to women there. not just women. there were sexual assaults on men as well that were victims there. we have all been watching this

explosion of the protests on campus, the pro-hamas and you have all of these young women at these campuses who really should see this documentary to understand what it is they are ignoring. would you like them to be able to see this? >> absolutely. it is why we made it. these are polarized times and people are having trouble when things don't fit into their narrative. if you believe october 7th was resistance. i don't believe that. i don't believe terror is resistance. if you believe that, sexual violence doesn't fit into the narrative. rape is never resistance. this documentary gives people a chance to hear from first responders, from released hostages, one of them bravely tells her story of herself held for five months, chained to a bed, sexually assaulted and right now as you and i are here there are still hostages there and we know they are being

sexually assaulted and people need to see what's really happening here. >> dana: do you think it's strange and upsetting or baffling or maybe a diplomatic strategy that the white house doesn't talk about the hostages very much or ever? >> i was really grateful that on passover president biden posted for passover but also talked about the sexual violence. i think this is a nonpartisan, bipartisan issue. no matter what you believe, we fought long and hard to make sure sexual violence was never used as a tool of war. it doesn't matter what else you think should appear en in the world, sexual violence shouldn't be happening. and everyone needs to be outspoken and outraged when it does. >> dana: what do you think should be taught at universities about october 7th? >> what's going on on our university campuses is not okay. i'm a big believer in free speech. i know you are. university is a time where you go to college and talk about any issue, open dialogue. but when you see students yelling at the columbia campus

to a jewish students go back to poland. when you see someone saying october 7th will happen to you, you had someone on your show who got her eye almost poked out at yale. that's not okay. the truth is, the disorder on campus, having places where people don't feel safe, that doesn't lend itself to real dialogue about hard issues. that stops the honest conversations we need to have. college campuses need to keep our kids safe. >> dana: we continue to see faculty is involved and faculty preventing press from doing interviews. you have done a lot of amazing things in your career. do you consider this one of your most important projects? >> yes. this has become, you know, the most important work of my life. in this moment, we lose too much if we turn a blind eye to sexual violence and to the threat that this poses. i look at this, you know, the terrorists here aren't subtle. they say we're coming back.

october 7th was just the beginning. they don't just say death to israel. they say death to america. this is a threat to our democracy and our way of life. people need to see clearly what happened. i think sexual violence really brings that home. i'm hoping people watch the documentary. >> dana: anything we can do to help the women you interviewed in recovery now? >> almost all of the victims of the sexual violence are dead and gone. we have just a few people who are alive to tell their story but we have first responders telling the story and yes, when we bear witness, when you talk about it and you cover it on your show. i am grateful to be here. you are giving these women who were silenced their voice and making sure the world sees what we are up against here, the depth of this terror. >> dana: where can people see your new documentary? >> youtube called screams before

silence. >> dana: thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> shannon: so powerful. we're watching the historic criminal trial of former president trump as it picks up in new york city. we'll give you the latest what is happening in the courtroom. byron york, andy mccarthy and charlie hurt are here to break it all down. and look at me now. you'll never truly forget migraine but qulipta reduces attacks making zero-migraine days possible. it's the only pill of its kind that blocks cgrp and is approved to prevent migraine of any frequency. to help give you that forget you get migraine feeling. don't take if allergic to qulipta. most common side effects are nausea, constipation and sleepiness. learn how abbvie could help you save. qulipta, the forget-you-get migraine medicine.

a live interview with talk show host howard stern at sirius xm. the crowd is forming trying to catch a glimpse of the president's motorcade that pulled up a short time ago and blocked off for several blas here. this comes as the president has had some recent runins with palestinian pro protestors and in the big apple the other day. watch this. >> shame on you, joe biden, shame on you. [crowd shouting] >> president biden is inside the radio station not going to the campuses with pro-palestinian protests popping up at columbia, more than 100 students arrested

or nyu. this comes as former president trump is inside that manhattan courtroom saying he shouldn't even be there but on the campaign trail. back live again you can get a quick look at what we're seeing and continue to keep you posted how traffic is in the area and when we see the president walk out of the radio station. >> dana: keep your eyes out for us. thanks, alexis. >> i think the fact that the president is here and he is talking about playing in new york, a rally in new jersey shows you he is playing offense. we're opening up the map. >> shannon: donald trump's court time cutting into his presidential campaign efforts. let's bring in political correspondent for "the washington examiner" byron york. kim strassel has written at the "wall street journal" saying this. the dnc and hillary clinton campaign in 2016 paid an opposition research firm to

produce a bogus dossier. the dnc reported the expenses to the fec but described the payments as legal services as mr. trump did with the nda. fec fined them for the deception. under mr. bragg's theory it should count as criminal election interference. what do you make of that? >> hard to see a lot of difference. we have talked about the steele dossier for many years and it is a fact that the clinton campaign and the democratic national committee commissioned the dossier and then the author of the dossier tried to get it into the media bloodstream and it did get into the media bloodstream and dominated a lot of trump's presidency in the early years. this was something bought and paid for and falsely reported to the federal election commission by the clinton campaign and dnc.

in 2022 they were ordered to pay a $113,000 fine. which they did. the most important thing for our discussion, nobody was indicted. nobody was charged with any criminal conduct here. they paid the fine and it was over. here you have donald trump, who the prosecutors say engaged in a criminal conspiracy to corrupt the 2016 election and then covered it up. you see trump charged with 34 felonies. >> dana: i thought this was really interesting. the cnn poll. i wonder what you make of it. 13% nationwide feel donald trump is being treated the same as other criminal defendants. 34% think he is being treated more harshly. 34% think he is being treated more leniently. is that representative of the 50/50 nation we're in right now? >> i think it is. first of all, it seems obvious he is being treated differently in some ways. this is the first time a former

president has ever been charged criminally. it is a history-making case in that sense. but it is hard to tell right now exactly what effect the news, the daily news of the events at the trial is happening. we talked for months about the fact that the indictments of president trump actually seemed to increase his support in the republican primary. but now that we're in a general election scenario hard to tell. we have had another poll from quinnipiac -- do the events at the trial make you more likely to vote for donald trump or less likely to vote for donald trump? what we've seen over the past month is there has been a slight increase in the number of people who would say it would make them more likely and decrease in the people who said it would make it less likely. >> shannon: i wonder what you think about the fact jurors are

sitting there watching a witness being cross-examined having trouble with remembering things. it is from 2015, almost ten years ago. whether jurors are wondering why it too so long to bring this case and why other prosecutors looked and said no thanks and here we are nine years later? >> well, maybe jurors will bring that question into the jury room. one, the main charge of against trump that he falsified business records is a misdemeanor in new york. it had a two year statute of limitations. that's long gone. the only way they made it a felony was by saying that he committed this misdemeanor as part of committing another crime. they have yet to specify what that other crime was. >> dana: byron york, you are always a crowd favorite and we appreciate you being on our show. thank you so much. >> all right.

thank you, dana. >> dana: donald trump unleashing on the judge before entering the courtroom in his new york criminal trial. the trial gripping the nation. more for you and while trump turns his courtroom into a campaign trail, president biden is finally coming under fire about the legacy media. believe it or not. he has been avoiding their questions all together and they have noticed. fast and lasts as so dave can be the... deliverer of dance. ok, dave! let's be more than our allergies. zeize the day with zyrtec. higher shipping rates may be “the cost of doing business...” but at what cost? turn shipping to your advantage. with low cost ground shipping from the united states postal service. ♪

>> shannon: we're back live at the new york courthouse where former president trump is facing a criminal trial inside. we've been hearing cross examination testimony from david pecker. conversation about karen mcdougal. former playboy model who said she had a long-term relationship with president trump. they've been pressing about what the conversation was and the agreement was with her. she believed she was signing a deal to write articles and restart her career as a model in contrast to wanting the tell the story or this conversation about being caught and killed. david pecker continues on the stand and hear more about that conversation and that agreement with karen mcdougal. let's bring in former assistant u.s. attorney and fox news contributor andy mccarthy. great to have you with us, andy. >> good morning. >> shannon: let's talk about the

relevance of this karen mcdougal testimony not from her but david pecker they viewed it as a business arrangement. she didn't want to story out there or hurt president trump. she didn't think she was killing a story. she felt that way later. she thought she was signing a deal to help her restart her career. in an exchange that story wasing going anywhere. what is the jury to do with this latest david pecker testimony? >> well, i think the problem is that from the prosecution standpoint, they are trying to convince the jury that there is this scheme to steal the election and that this deal is a component of it. to me, the trump defense should be there was nothing illegal about this deal and would i would be more concerned about, the more they go at pecker and

cross-examine about this but conveys to the jury they must be being hurt by it why else testing pecker's testimony the way they are doing? i must say, shannon, i would have been tempted to do a very short cross examination of pecker, like five or ten minutes to get across to the jury that nothing he testified to -- the longer they go after this the more impression it is hurt by it and maybe bragg's theory is right. maybe part of a big conspiracy. >> shannon: you think they should wrap it up with this witness. we talked earlier about the fact the defense team has been pushing for more information which witnesses with coming next but hesitation to force the prosecution to do that. what do you think happens on that front going into the weekend? >> i think it is pretty bad that

the judge has not forced the prosecutors to at least tell them who the next two or three witnesses are. this is all posturing over the gag order. the theory behind the gag order, which is an adoption of democratic partisan talking points, is that even if trump doesn't say things that are overtly threatening about witnesses, that his statements are kind of a dog whistle to all his supporters out there to harass witnesses and therefore they can't afford to let those names out. i really think that at this point there is so much pressure on trump or so much attrition of trump's due process rights, not just within the four corners of this case, but the cumulative effect of all these cases, makes it very difficult for him to prepare a defense in any single one of them. now if you will enforce this gag

order in a way that says we have to withhold the names of the witnesses so the lawyers go into the weekend where they have to prepare for next week's trial and they aren't being told which witnesses with coming next and who to prepare for cross examination, that's really not a fair process. but it doesn't seem that judge merchan is as troubled about it as a number of us are with respect to president trump's due process rights. >> shannon: it makes a tough round of trial prep when you don't know who you are prepping for. thank you so much. dana. >> dana: thank you, shannon and andy. we get minute by minute up dates on the trial against president trump. new details and reaction next. i was on a journey for a really long time to find some relief. cosentyx works for me. cosentyx helps real people get real relief from the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis. serious allergic reactions, severe skin reactions that look like eczema,

>> dana: the jury in the new york criminal trial against former president trump is hearing testimony about editorial decisions at the "national enquirer" and a tabloid practice called catch and kill from former publisher david pecker. charlie hurt is opinion editor for the washington times and fox news contributor. and here is this from jonathan turley. we don't have to play the whole thing but he is basically saying the most damaging aspect of pecker's testimony is that he did the same thing for a variety of celebrities. so now i'm like wait, what was tiger woods and rob emmanuel doing we had to catch and kill? >> not only is this something the "national enquirer" has done

forever. but going back to our days at the white house, it is what the regular media -- what the "washington post" has been doing for decades with democrats. they collude with people that they like in order to either suppress stories or push stories. and they get away with it with abandon and now as usual the "national enquirer" does things to the extreme and it is really humiliating but i thought it really amusing watching all of these people in the press who, you know, try to act like they are holier than thou trying to pretend they never suppress stories or try to push stories about people they don't like. it is absurd. >> dana: right. >> shannon: charlie, many years ago i was in the "national enquirer" only because i was standing next to someone and the story was about her and my mom was slightly horrified on the

check-out line. i don't think new york city jurors are so jaded that they can't handle this. i don't think they will be surprised by some of these stories they are hearing but ask the question does it amount to a crime? >> of course, i think that one of the reasons that democrats are -- bragg is pushing the story is they want to humiliate former president trump. they think that all the salacious details will somehow hurt him. trump has been around for a long time and around even longer to new york jurors. the salacious nature of this, i think it is backed into their opinions of somebody who has been part of the tabloid world here going back decades. has thrived on it, by the way. it comes down to the actual law. like you say, i don't think they are doing a very good job of pinpointing how any of this is illegal. >> dana: i have to wonder if the

jurors are as cold as president trump says. it is freezing in there. let's get it over with right away. shannon, great to have you today. what is coming up sunday? >> shannon: we've got bipartisan representation. j.d. vance and chris murphy to talk about what's going on in the world and i sat down with retired supreme court justice stephen breyer and talked to him what is going on in college campuses and coming up this weekend. >> dana: what's the atmosphere like down there today? is it quiet? >> shannon: we have the occasional f bomb dropping protestors. i told them it's too early in the morning for that. pretty calm otherwise. >> dana: doesn't he know it's shannon bream sitting there? get it together, protestor. >> shannon: take it somewhere else. julie banderas is in for harris. >> julie: thank you guys.
