pete: it is the 9 a.m. hour of "fox & friends" weekend. we start with this fox weather alert. massive tornadoes tear through america's heartland leaving behind destruction in iowa e and nebraska amongst many other states. we have the latest updates. will: and it's new york versus trump returning on tuesday after ex-tabloid publisher david pecker claimed he never if used the term catch and kill with the former president. carley: plus, more americans say they're being shamed into tipping even for coffees and self-service kiosks. we have your responses on tip-flation. the final hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now. will: to a fox weather alert. right now 55 million americans r alert one day after massive tornadoes tore across america's heartland. carley: at least 59 twist thers in texas, kansas, oklahoma, iowa

and the hardest hit state has been nebraska. pete: fox weather's nicole valdes is in ilkhorn -- elkhorn, nebraska, with more. >> reporter: good morning. look, it's a sad day here where there are dozens of homes without a wall standing like the one you see behind me. check it out. i mean, this is so sad to see. actually, a newer home just it should a few months ago now ripped to shreds by the sheer force of a monster tornado that has now devastated dozens of families across the state of nebraska. neighbors here just now coming home for the day. of course, many of them running for their lives yesterday as they were able to watch that tornado touch down not far outside their community and make their way towards their homes. and you'll notice here the line of them that are now destroyed, horrific dang here farce --

damage here as far as the eye can see as you take a look at home after home after home with windows and doors blown out, roofs collapsed. you can see cars here impaled with pieces of what once held these homes up. it is aer the orfying ifly sad -- terrifyingly sad reality for so many here following this destructive tornado. but one that i think a lot of people are still trying to wrap their heads around. we mow, thankfully, there are already resources in place to get those who are now without a place to sleep some resources, both the american red cross and the salvation army have already set up shop here in elkhorn just outside of downtown the omaha to make sure that those families are a place to go, have things that they need as they begin the difficult cleanup ahead. but, again, we are less than 24 hours since that touch down here, and the sheer pain is very palpable. it's quiet here this morning as we're sort of getting the first

daylight images of some of this devastation. but outside of that quiet you hear home alarms blaring in the background, helicopters flying over us. it's are real that this is sort of an area where we're going to, hopefully, see a lot of people here throughout the day today trying to lend a helping hand for those maybe hundreds of families who need it. guys, incredible news so far. douglas county officials say so far to one has been killed by these tornadoes. an incredible, maybe miracle you could call it as we take a look at a the damage that surrounds us. carley: and, nicole, the we've looks so calm today -- the weather looks so calm today. you're standing in what looks like it was once a really nice if neighborhood, and now it's complete destruction. it looks like the weather, the really bad weather, these tornadoes are over for elkhorn, but now the storm is moving south, and we could see more of this in other states take place later today as well? >> reporter: yeah.

unfortunately, the threat not over. of course, we have an elevated threat for areas including oklahoma city later on today. so, of course, we're going to be focusing on that threat all day on fox weather as well. carley: all right. nicole valdes live in elkhorn, nebraska, thank you so much. turning now to this, former president donald trump's new york criminal trial is set to reassume tuesday in a manhattan courtroom. will: yesterday jurors hearing testimony from ex-tabloid publisher david peck per, a form ifer trump assistant and senior bank manager who with worked with michael cohen. pete: david spunt joins us live9 with the details. hey, david. >> reporter: good morning to you three. week two of the trump criminal trial is done. next week will be the third week. a busy day yesterday with more testimony from david pecker, donald trump's friend and former "national enquirer" publisher. , pecker is alleged to have bought former playboy play we mate karen mcconstitutioning's story about an alleged affair with trump while he was married with melania with the intent

never to publish it, a practice known as catch and kill. a lawyer showed inconsistencies about whether trump actually thanked him for suppressing such story. pecker believes he may have if violated some federal election law while suppressing the story. pecker told the jury, quote, i have been truthful to the best of my reck election, end quote. trump's longtime executive assistant also took the stand. she said is her boss of about a 30 years was fair and respectful. she vaguely remembers seeing ex-porn star stormy if daniels before the 2016 election. she also, meaning daniels, claims she had an affair with trump. listen to this. while the former president has been in court, he missed most of his wife's birthday yesterday. the current president, biden, has been on the campaign trail doing events in pennsylvania with steel workers, he also spoke to unions, he was down in florida for a kips manufacturing announcement -- chips manufacturing announcement before heading to new york and taking an interview with howard

stern. this illustrates the juxtaposition between the two. as i mentioned, president trump will likely be back in trial next week in person. he's supposed to be there, and we expect president biden to be back on the trail. as far as trump, he has to campaign before and after and and also on the weekends. back to you with. will: thank you, david. we'll have more coming up a little bit later on this trial. we'll break down what has happened and what we9 expect to come up in the not too far distant future. we'll talk to gregg jarrett at a 9:30 eastern time. pete: michael cohen, known lie e car, taking the stand. yeah, gregg's got great analysis, has on this entire trial. and, will, we broke it down on off the wall. the point of this is to keep donald trump in new york city. carley: no question. pete: the whole thing is election interference. and then you read the transcripts of what's going on in the courtroom, it's hard to figure out what they're larging

him with -- charging him with other than trying to make him look bad and and trying to make it look like what he did was an illegal management of funds toward the campaign for -- the whole thing is a mess of a charge, and that's why it's so confusing for everybody. carley: yeah. and i don't know if the d.a.'s office has considered the ramifications of a hung jury. what if donald trump survives this thing? what does that do to his political campaign? now he can say this is what i've been saying all along, guys. this is just election are interference and a total witch hunt. will: well, the purpose of the trial is twofold. one, to end up with the line donald trump, convicted felon. and in that sense -- pete: exactly right. will: -- they'd be robbed of that outcome, but they would still accomplish the other outcome, tie him up in court and off the a campaign trail. this is from the american security project if. they're saying 68% of active duty members of the military are overweight or obese. pete: think about that. look at that number. stare at it for a second. this is active duty members of

the u.s. military. 68% are overweight or obese. so a group of 50 organizations up including 21 retired senior military leaders sent a letter to secretary lloyd austin saying this: the obesity epidemic poses an existential threat to our national defense. u.s. military personnel are our most critical national security as asset and deserve our utmost care and respect are. we must act decisively to safeguard their health and restore the readiness of our military the. i don't even know, i mean, okay, so i do know. so part of the reason we're talking about this is my new book i'm going to hand to each of you, comes out on june 4th, it's called "the war on warriors." we do a, every day we do a story that ties back to what has been done to our pentagon. this story is clearly in that mold. how do you get to the point where the world's best fighting force has 7 in 10 of its war

yours as obese or overweight? -- warriors? maybe you're focusing on the wong things. carley: is that what it is? will: we talk a lot as you talk about this book with coming out in june with how ideology as worked with the military and taken it away from being a lethal fighting force. we haven't talked about how it really impacts the military physically. here you're talking about the physical ramify if occasions of movements to bring i don't know what into the military that allows for almost 70% obesity. pete: first of all, you have an overall dropping of standards, right? there is no standard because you've decided that diversity is what unites us, and everybody should joust do -- you be you in your truth. the ability to create a command culture that enforces discipline and standards, it erodes. i hear from hue tents, captains, others saying i'm walking on egg shells in my own unit. i can't maintain even grooming standards because that'll make me a racist or it'll maintain the hierarchy that is not -- i mean, the whole thing is upside down. and so you get to the point

where back in the day when i was running ap a infantry unit, we knew who our one or two fat bodies were, that's what we called them. and you know what they did? they got extra the pt because our job is fighting wars where with you have to be in shape, and so you can't be a fat body. you've got to get in shape. now you can't say that. oh, you can't give different treatment to different soldiers. everybody's the same. and then you've got this other dynamic. here's the orr dynamic. when we entered women into combat, we insisted on you either have to do the one of two things, change the standards or lower the standards. that's it. and so across the board you've seen a lot of lowering the standards because generals say, well, why do we only have -- why are there only 4% women in this unit, and when a general asks that question, it's really a command which says, hey, i major, hey, captain, forget out how that 4% becomes 20%. we can't do that because women can't pass -- can okay, we're going to get rid of this run and pretty soon everything's a little easier.

carley: yeah. pete: and so the whole thing slides throughout the military. we tell story after story the in the book about how we got here. and then you get to 70% of our military is obese. carley: there's a lot going on in this world right now, a lot going on in the middle east. mission readiness is the most important thing right now for our country. you look at two-thirds of active couth military -- about active-duty military members being obese, that's a stunning statistic. pete: somebody did this, and this book tells exactly who it is. if you're a military member, no one -- your dad, grandpa, somebody for father's day, it'll bulbing back the curtain -- will: fox news books.com. pete: if you got it. carley: a suspect is in custody after at least five people were hurt in a a shooting at a d.c. nightclub. police say a fight spilled into the streets and shots rang out, police getting extra assistance since this unfolded less than a mile away from the white house. >> we do want to thank our partners, the united states secret service, for responding quickly with us, they were able

to help us secure the scene and affect this arrest. carley: the victims are all expected to survive. the wreckage of a derailed freight train still smoarlding near the arizona sheriff new mexico state line. the train was hauling gasoline and propane when it went off the tracks, forcing a closure of all lanes of interstate 40, can and that road is still closed. the derailment happening just after a tornado and severe weather tore through that area. there are no reports of injuries. that is a big fire. finish. southwest airlines' ceo says the airline may change its open seating policy. the company is currently facing financial struggles, reportedly lost over $200 million this quarter. right now passengers are assigned a boarding group, i've done that so many times in my life, and only choose their seat once they board. customers have the option to pay extra to get on the plane early. will: why is that going to help -- cr r those are your

headlines -- will: why is that going to help financial arely? carley: maybe just listening to the customer here. pete: not flying southwest -- carley: yeah. i mean, the second you can check in, you have to. then you'll be in the a group. if not, you're seat 30 and sitting in middle seat -- [laughter] pete: i've watched people try to recruit other people too, like, coming on i'm a talker, if anybody if wants to -- carley: no, you haven't. [laughter] pete: yes. i've seen people do that. carley: amazing. pete: puts their head down, i'm not sitting next to that guy. will: we talked about the rise in tipping across america. this is what we were referencing. the average person tips almost $38 a month. today say it's due to pressure and awkwardness. it adds up to about a $453.60 a year. carley: yeah: so there's inflation and now tip-flation. 31% say they've been asked to tip for a service they wouldn't normally consider tipping for, and 23% say they would likely

leave a tip for service that requires no human interaction. that is peer pressure. i've feltit before. pete: i will say i love tipping. giving a big tip for somebody went they -- carley: when they've worked for it, sure. pete: absolutely. and i've seen some places where i peel like there should be tipping and and there isn't tipping. i don't know that i can give a great example, and they're like, oh, no tip? the okay. all you see now is praises where you're, like, there's no way i should -- will: there was no service. pete: you did nothing. you handed me a styrofoam cup and your looking at me like give me a -- will: spin the ipad now. pete: spin the ipad and submit. carley: the automated message when you buy e a cup of coffee or a pack of gum and it says select tip amount and you have to press no -- [laughter] and it just feels so bad. pete: it often a doesn't even give you no, so you have to click through to no. will: and then you feel the shame when you turn it back

around. you get over it in, like, 10 seconds. by the way, we asked you to -- pete: 10 seconds? will: e-mail from danny, in my if house we have tipping fatigue. we've stopped tipping completely in response to the excessive solicitation. carley: angela are e-mailed saying, hard enough to afford food and add the pressure on tripping -- tipping where normally you wouldn't getting harder to live. pete: that is exactly right. e-mail from faye, tipping is not automatic. i tip for good service. i tip for friendly, helpful service. i do not tip counter service. i do not tip fast food, i do not tip checkout. i like that. i think that's concern -- carley: that's a good place to draw the line. will: nicki says i'm more than happy to tip people who are helpful, but it's totally being abused these days when it's forced on you. let me decide, i'll actually be more generous. pete: i think you're right. the irony is that people will get less are generous. will: i also got a lot of viewer feedback on carley's vandalism,

she wrote on my pants -- carley: i didn't mean. to. will: rubbing alcohol, also hair spray. pete: why would you -- [inaudible conversations] will: i'm going to do it after the show. pete: the more likely you are to get it out -- carley: no now i just want to sign your pants -- will: somebody did say do that and e donate to tunnel to towers. carley: that'd be a good idea. i'll pay for your pants and we could donate them. pete: it's a suit. you can't buy one part. carley: sorry. i destroyed your pants, now your jacket's got to go too -- will: let's try the hair pray. pete:ed all right. a rematch is on. apparently or -- and so is a debate? >> i don't know if you're going to debate your opponent. >> i am somewhere. i don't know when. i'm happy to debate him. will: trump saying, bring it on. former speech writer to george w. bush marc thiessen on the strategy next. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> i am somewhere. i don't know when. i'm happy to debate him. carley: president biden finally saying he will debate former president trump, telling howard stern he's happy to do it. trump responding right away on truth social saying, quote, i say anywhere, anytime, anyplace. in fact, let's do the debate at the courthouse tonight on energy television. i'll wait -- on national television. i'll wait around. washington post columnist marc thiessen joins us now. marc, so i guess it's set in stone, we can now officially expect this debate to take place, right? >> yeah, exactly, that's right. [laughter] the fact that it's even an open question just shows he shouldn't be oning for president. if you can't commit to a debate for president, you shouldn't be running for president of the united states. look, i'm not sure that he's the final decision maker. this is a guy who said four times that he would defend taiwan, and four times his staff backed -- said he didn't mean what he said. so i'm not so sure they'll actually follow through on this. this is a guy who can't read a

teleprompter. they're not going to let the guy who said four more years pause go unscripted on a debate stage for donald trump. carley: the former president's not going to met this up because he knows this could be president biden's weakness. he's going to keep on hammering this point home. biden campaign is going the to have to respond, so could they eventually be pigeon holed into a debate, and if so, what will that look like? >> well, they're going to be because it's going to be very embarrassing if he doesn't debate. but on the other hand, i'm not sure what they're so afraid of. i don't know that a bad debate performance would actually hurt him electorally. 86 percent of the american people already think that he's too old for a second term, so -- but he's tied with trump in the real clear politics average, so there's a lot of people who are voting for him anyway. look at john fetterman who went out and had that just horrific debate performance s and he still won his senate seat in pennsylvania. i think a lot of this is baked in. i think people is have baked-in opinions about trump and they're going to vote for him or not

vote for him based on that, if they have baked-in opinions on biden's age, and they've already decided who they're going to vote for. carley: yeah. but, man, there's still that independent voter and it's neck and neck when you look at the polling, and it really might come town to the age issue. we've been talking about this axios report, it's sort of a silly sidebar story, but it does make the overall point about a president who is up are there in years and asking for four more. if he's now the goal is to sort of surround him when he's to going to air force and marine one so that people don't focus on him shuffle singing cross the launch -- shuffling across the lawn. >> no, and they changed the stairs going up air force one, they're surrounding him with aides so we can't see him shuffling like an elderly man as he gets to ma if lean one. they're trying to protect him. the reality is, look, i don't think there's a serious person out there who thinks joe biden if he's reelected is going to complete his second term.

he'd be 86. he's 81 now and looked at what he's like, imagine him at 86. i think donald trump should not only debate him, he should go and debate kamala harris because she's the the real nominee. carley: good point you're saying the age thing is baked into the cake with president biden. what about the drama surrounding former president trump, a lot of it not his fault, when it comes to these trials? do you think that people will actually looked at those trials and factor that into their votes come november? >> i think a lot of people have already factored these things into their votes. and if anything, the trials have helped donald trump because they've rally ared the republican party around him. just look at this trial is a disgrace, you know? the idea -- they're trying to, they're trying to put him in jail, they're trying to bankrupt him with civil trials, they're trying to kick him off the ballot. he's got 91 charges filed against him at the federal, state and local level.

charles manson had 10, okay? if. carley: what a statistic there. >> anyone who's faced this kind of lawfare before. carley: we also want to talk about this new york post report. the report is titled inside the failed white house coup to oust karine jean-pierre. here's a quote from a source telling the new york post there was an effort to have some outside folks who karine knows and trusts talk to her about why leaving last fall would have made a lot of sense to her in her career. the source said calling it an effort to encourage her to move along. what do you think about this? >> well, obvious they're trying to get rid of her. she's the most incompetent person ever to hold the position of white house press secretary. and it's not just that she reads out of binders, she doesn't understand the words she's reading. there was that moment a year or to ago where she thanked congress for its bipartisan, bicarpal mel support. she said it three times. and the house, how because the

white house press secretary not know that and not be curious enough to ask, what does this mean, before she went out on the stage? or when she referred to hawaii senator mazie i think row know as senator horino and called her a man. i mean, i thought misgenderring somebody was a firing offense in the democratic party. can you imagine doing a segment about a senator and not knowing their gender before you went out on tv? she does that from the white house podium. she's lazy and incompetent. carley: it's certainly a tough job. marc, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you, carley. carley: you're very welcome. a long week in court for former president trump after the jury with hears from three major witnesses. legal analyst gregg jarrett with his top takeaways coming up next. ♪ now i'm free, free fallen -- free falling ♪

will: former president trump's new york trial set to reassume tuesday morning in a manhattan courtroom. this follows a long week of testimony. jurors hearing from former trump executive assistant, or former bank manager gary fair row who worked closely with michael cohen and ex-tabloid publisher david perk. greg -- picker -- can pecker. gregg jarrett joins us now. do you think with any of these initial three witnesses the prosecution landed any punches on donald trump? >> no, will, i don't think so at all. after a week of testimony, they have yet to present any evidence of anything unlawful. and i think it underscores just how weak and pathetic the case is. david pecker helped trump more than hurt him, testifying his

"national enquirer" buried stories all the time for a whole host of celebrities, so this wasn't just donald trump. and, you know, killing a story, that's not a crime. silencing somebody through an nda, that's not illegal. you went to law school, you know this. they're not even in the indictment, trump's not charged with it. so bragg is implying that trump's shady dealings with the tabloid somehow equals criminality. well, it doesn't. i called it in a column this week filth by association which is a sleazy prosecutor's trick. but, you know, i think after a week, will, these jurors are still wondering where in the world is the crime here. the answer is, there is none. which makes this an egregious abuse of the legal system targeting a political opponent. if you had a fair judge who's actually knowledgeable about the law, this case would go nowhere but the dust bin of sham

prosecutions. will: and if for clarification, pete was asking about this earlier, the jury's a little confused as to exactly what you're saying, what is the crime. bragg is alleging the crime is, okay, you were shutting down stories, and what makes it illegal is you were doing it in order to influence an election. >> right. but in the last 234 years, that's been going on. as i pointed out in a column, just look at thomas jefferson, alexander hamilton and john adams in the 1800 election. look, in this case it wasn't until if after the trial began that the d.a. even identified what the so-called underlying crime is which is influencing ap an election through, quote, unlawful means. where does that come from? a state misdemeanor law, but that the doesn't apply to a

federal election. and it can't be a federal campaign finance violation because bragg has no authority over that. and besides, the feds already said there ain't no crime here -- will: right. >> which leaves us with the core charges of falsifying business records. those are private. they're not public. what exactly was false about them? if you know, the transactions were booked as legal expenses and services, well, will, that's precisely what they were. that's how hillary booked her payments to the phony if dossier. will: right. >> she wasn't prosecuted. donald trump is? will: so what you're playing oue all left sitting here wondering is how do the facts lead up to illegal violation of a crime over law, and it'll be interesting to see how those two lawyerses on the jury, they seem kind of integral in answering that question. sooner or later here, we hear from michael cohen. what do you think we should expect?

>> well, it's foolhardy for prosecutors to bet their entire case on cohen. but that's all heavy got. you know, cohen -- they've got. cohen was the driving force behind everything. he acted mostly on his own. pecker confirmed it in his testimony saying trump didn't even know about reimbursements. the problem for prosecutors is michael cohen is a despicable person. he hates trump. he's a prolific lie car who told so many -- liar who told so many false stories, you need a chaiter to keep track. he went to prison for if them. a federal judge recently called him a serial mergerrer, yet al -- per if jurier. nobody should believe anything he says, and i suspect cohen melt on cross-examination if like a joe biden ice cream -- [laughter] i think it's going to be a bloodbath in front of the jury. will: i wish we had cameras for that. cross-examination of michael

cohen. all right. gregg jarrett, thank you so much. >> sure. will: all right. from coast to coast, anti-israel protests erupting at top schools across america as columbia university remains the epicenter of the chaos. brian brenberg taught at a new york college for nearly 14 years, and he's next.

take a look at the maps, a big system across the central part of the system. first batch brought the severe weather yesterday, it's moving farther off a towards the east. today's severe weather is going to be part of what you see that little swirl across the four corners. and if you look across the panhandle of texas, parts of western oklahoma, we're to starting to see the first storms begin to fire, our first tornado watch of the day in effect until 1 p.m. this isn't where we're expecting to see the worst of the tornadoes, that'll be later on this afternoon. want to say we've talked so much about tornadoes, but but it is also going to be significant damaging wind and a lot of hail as well. notice how far to the north all of this the threat goes, does extend even across parts of michigan and and wisconsin. there will also be a lot of rain associated with this, so eastern parts of oklahoma down towards parts of the ozarks, get ready for maybe 3-5 inches of rain today the, and that is going to bring significant flooding threat as a well. obviously, tornadoes will be our biggest story if they do materialize and hit any kind of populated area.

there's a lot of towns here and bigger cities as well that are in the threat of this. we could be looking at ef3 or larger tornadoes. some of these staying on the ground for many miles. that is why we're so worried about this throughout this afternoon. make sure you have your plan in place temperature all right, pete, to you inside. pete: thank you, rick. indiana-israel, to-hamas protests breaking out nationwide for the second straight week with ivy leagues is and ore colleges in new york at the epicenter9 of the pro-that hamas if demonstrations. the chaos hits home for our next guest who taught at a college in new york for nearly 14 years and went to one of those ivy league schools, two degrees from harvard. the cohost of "the big money show"en on fox business, brian brenberg, he joins us live. what do you make of this administrationsome you've been an administrator, why can't they stop this? >> well, they're negotiating. i mean, look, in a college you don't even negotiate with the student op on their paper grade, okay? if you can't -- if you do that, you'll end up in this spot right

now. i mean, how many times has the columbia president set a deadline for negotiation with these students, and they've blown through that deadline. and what have the students, what have these protesters gotten? they're shutting down everything. pete: yeah. >> they've shut down classes at columbia. they've shut down the graduation at usc. and they love it because they love chaos. they hate civilization. i mean, that's the point of this thing. they think civilization so press i. so when they -- oppressive. so when they hut these things undo, they're winning. that's the problem. you set the boundaries, and when they hit the boundary, you say you're out. and that's how you solve it, and that's why we haven't -- pete: why can't administrators do it? is it because they kind of share the view of the protests? because if this was a to-life group in -- pro-life group in columbia -- enter gone. pete: but they don't. >> here's why, you've without a lot of wacky professors at these

places who kind of run the mace, and you can't fire them because they have tenure. so you've got to manage this herd of cats and then you've grown your whole life in academia which is surrounded by liberals who affirm everything you're doing right now. it's the worst cultural milieu ever, andst it's the worst economic system because the state money's coming in. you can't friar the professors. -- fire the professors. your endowment is tax-free. that's why they're doing what they're doing. if you don't change that structure, you can fire a president, you get one that's just like 'em. you've got to change the fundamental structure here, and we're just not talking about that. pete: i love that. you know, one place we did talk about that recently are, brian, you and i were joined by douglas are murray e and another israeli activist, are lizzie, who was great for a special on fox nation called poison ivy: protest rage on campus. it's available right now on fox nation. we dive into -- it's only a half hour, it's a quick watch. we get to the roots of where this was coming from.

brian was a part of it. here's a portion of it. the first thing you never do as a university leader is negotiate with your students. that's not how it works. they're there to earn. you're there to create the environment for learning. but when today hit the boundary es of that the environment which are the policies, you tell them, you're out. pete: it's great. i learned a opportunity on that. check it out right now on fox nation. this is what fox nations exists to do, go a little deeper on the stuff we talk about on the channel. >> why is this happening. we talk all about it, great input from everybody. just know america's colleges are teaching activism. that's what they're doing. you have got to understand where that came from from if you want to solve it. deep dives like this, i think, are the way to do that because it helps americans see what they're paying for and why they should stop paying for it. pete: absolutely are. check it out. by the way, brian was a college football player, will. do you think they should wear

the mushrooms on the helmets in the nfl? >> i think there's a whole slew of rules they've got in the nfl now that they ought to get rid of and not add a something like that. but, you know, disagreeing with will, he's up there somewhere in the ether, it's pretty dangerou- pete: stop right e there. you're not a mushroom -- the. [laughter] >> i didn't wear a mushroom head. pete: and he's just fine. look at the brain on this guy. >> yeah, right. don't ask that question. will: won't put me on camera. [laughter] why didn't you put me on camera? i was making faces the whole time brenberg was talking, and my mug was telling him, don't come for the king.
