to how women should be treated in the workplace. her story is not the only one in the book written by a woman who talks about how he gave them -- gave them a promotion, put them in a place of responsibility, trusted them, and made sure the whole world knew that. he was a man ahead of his time. >> dana: i remember once he came to the white house visiting his son and i heard a noise outside and he was waiting to talk to me. i was on the phone with karl and i said i'm sorry i was on the phone with karl. oh, i love a name dropper. he had come by to thank me for being the press secretary and public service. i love the cover but the book is very special with all of those different people voicing right along with you. jean becker, thank you. >> thank you, dana.

>> dana: have a good day. fox nulls alert. apparent israeli attack hitting central iran for the drone and missile assault last saturday. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: jean is sweet. >> dana: she is the best. >> bill: good morning at home. well placed sources within the u.s. government say the israeli strike was limited is what we were told late last night targeting a major iranian city base. home to sights associated with iran's nuclear program. the u.n.'s nuclear watchdog says there was no damage to nuclear sites. iran as no plans to retaliate. >> dana: jacque heinrich and council member joe barrely. let's start with rich edson to get a lay of the land at the pentagon. >> good morning. u.s. military sources are saying

that limited missile strike involved no manned aircraft here. it was a strike overnight. it was targeted at an air base in a province that is home to iranian missile production and nuclear facilities including the uranium enrichment strike. hours before the strike the iran administration warned the u.s. and israel against an attack on iran. >> i have announced to the white house, sent a message to the white house, and washington, d.c., the administration in which we reiterated if the israeli regime commits the grave sumperor once again it will be disgraceful for them. >> it downplayed the impact in response to a largely unsuccessful missile and drone barrage iran fired at israel this weekend in response to an

israeli strike earlier this month on an iranian compound in syria that killed several iranian military officials. last evening the pentagon said defense secretary lloyd austin spoke with israeli minister of defense to discuss iran. unclear if israel notified the united states about the strike then or in a separate communication. all this as israel has been fighting iran-backed militia's across the region. attacks from hamas, hezbollah and houthis in yemen. iran is enriching uranium and increased that production according to a number of analysts, they could produce a nuclear weapon within weeks or sooner. dana. >> dana: rich edson, thank you. >> bill: from the pentagon to the white house awaiting response from the president. jacque heinrich has the story now from there. jacque. >> good morning. officials here tell me not to expect any comment from the white house this morning in an apparent effort to let tensions cool.

now last night quickly through u.s. sources, we learned that israel had carried out this strike, which it has still not taken responsibility for. and that israel gave the u.s. a heads-up and those sources also emphasizing the u.s. was not involved in this. but on the world stage, it appears the aim is to say very little in order to de-escalate. >> you saw israel on the receiving end of an unprecedented attack but our focus has been on, of course, making sure that israel can effectively defend itself but also de-escalating tensions. avoiding conflict and that remains our focus. again i won't speak to anything other than to say we were not involved in any offensive operations. >> the g7 countries called on iranian proxy groups to cease their attacks. hamas rejected that. official telling reuters this morning we call for expanding the scale of the engagement

against the israeli occupation in response to the war of genocide in gaza and the escalation in the region. now that is notable from hamas because irgc officials are posting images on their telegram channel portraying the attack as insignificant showing what appears to be manipulated stock images of available drones suggesting that is what was used and emphatically denying that any missiles were used. iranian official said there were no plans to respond and state media reports made no mention of israel. that's notable because they said they would deliver a severe response to an attack on its territory. the u.s. and g7 countries are talking about sanctions if iran continues to destabilize the region. a new package of sanctions targeting iran's defense military base. it didn't touch its oil production, bill. >> bill: more news when we get

it from the north lawn. >> dana: robert greenway the principle architect of the abraham accords. listen to the iranian president from the attacks last weekend. >> this operation became a sign of the islamic republic and its forces and determination of our nation and wise leader, commander of all forces. this move was necessary, a source of pride and power for our great country. >> dana: i know he has to say that. they were running footage of wildfires in texas and chile to show the effect on israel when they didn't have much of an effect. iron dome worked and allies working together worked. where does this go from here? iran's missile range. a map you could speak to. you were putting the abraham accords to have allies to beat it back. robert?

>> yeah. i think in the end we've seen a deference of escalation but it is not done. they have both climbed the escalation ladder and no going back down. ament matly what we're seeing is an escalation to direct conflict and only a matter of time we're back up again. iran's perspective on israel is an obstacle to the objective. the range for its missiles and abraham accords. the rest of the region doesn't have the capabilities israel does and they are vulnerable. iran extends its influence in the ridge on and the principle part of its objective here. >> bill: a report one of the leaders of a brigade was taken out from the idf on the west bank. since you were such a critical part of the abraham accords and we've asked this to other guests

earlier in the week, when you think about the reports of saudi arabia and uae and jordan defending israel last weekend, it is my feeling that the region has changed and the egyptians, jordanians, saudis aren't going back. do you agree with that? if so, what is the future now? >> i agree with it certainly. i think it is a matter of time. all of them recognize normalizing diplomatic relations with israel is key to their future. they can't defend themselves and to do that they need u.s. support and assistance. that's mostly in the provision of equipment and capabilities. closer relationship with israel helps that, no doubt. the problem we mains as long as the u.s. is providing unlimited access to iran in terms of resources because of the policy of appeasement iran threat continues. the signal is the u.s. changes

course, confronts iran and embraces israel and partners and allies in the region the accords will expand and grow and that's what we all should be seeking. >> dana: we'll pay attention to it. a busy week. maybe a quieter weekend we can hope. >> bill: please come back. meanwhile the war in the middle east reverberates at home. more than 100 arrested at columbia university on manhattan's upper west side. they set up a tent city on campus. among those busted is the daughter of elan omar. joe barrely is back with us in studio. the mayor came out and said the rhetoric was vile on behalf of the protestors. we've seen a lot of that in this city over the past week. where do you think it is now. >> when i first saw the videos of protest from wednesday night i thought it was from her an and ramallah. it was the upper east side of manhattan. the mayor is right.

a thin veil between folks coming out against the israeli government for a free state in palestinian and the anti-semitism we're seeing on campus. i'm glad the president of the school made the right call. we should be clear she made the right call because she saw what happened to her colleagues after people in the house republican conference put pressure finally on these elite institutions to finally address their anti-semitism on their campuses. >> dana: elan omar from minnesota. her daughter was arrested at columbia. we have pictures of that. i feel like that's what they wanted. you want to do this and want attention and you have a record to prove it. that happened yesterday. here is an exchange that ilhan omar had with the columbia university president on wednesday. >> have you seen anti-muslim protests on campus? >> i have -- we have had pro-isly demonstrations on

campus but not. >> a protest against muslims or arabs. >> no, i have not. >> have you seen one against palestinians. >> no. >> have you seen a protest saying we're against jewish people? >> no, i have -- >> thank you for that clarification. there has been a rise in targeting and harassment against anti-war protestors. >> dana: interesting. we cover this closely. two students on the other day from columbia. they had gone to the protest where you said you couldn't believe it was america and they were burning the american flag. this one young student, his back of the shirt catches on fire and she is trying to say this is not happening? >> even a school like columbia with a rich history of allowing students a lot of leeway to protest, you don't have the right to take over public spaces on the campus or make jewish students and faculty and neighbors feel harassed and threatened and intimidated in your neighborhood. when joe biden is talking about

forgiving student debt not talking about the kids in engineering schools or taxi drivers taking night classes. he is talking about these entitled kids out there harassing their jewish neighbors and jewish co-students. >> bill: one of the larger points i think ilhan omar is trying to make. people aren't protesting against individuals and relation and race they are protesting against government. in some of the video we saw just yesterday they are banging pots and pans and calling i assume them to be jewish students walking through the israeli flags call them pigs. repeatedly. >> i was in -- i saw what hamas did to people who lived there. young people the same age as those kids at columbia university. when you say i am hamas you are being a terrible person frankly and you should be equated with the murderers you are out there defending. you don't have a right to say

you are hamas when it is used to threat en jewish students that go to school with you. >> dana: do you think alvin bragg who has president trump in court will prosecute these students who got arrested? >> based on all historic president of what he goes after, people that are committing any type of anti-semitic action i wouldn't be surprised and certainly not people arrested wednesday night for attacking police officers. those people are out now and probably back protesting. >> bill: thank you for coming in. you told us when you sat down that you are getting sick of new york. >> it is getting there. they are working overtime to break people like me. >> dana: we are lucky to have you. thank you for coming on our show as well. thank you, joe. >> bill: thanks for being here. >> i have to be released of the gag order. they are taking away my constitutional rights to speak. that includes speaking to you. i have a lot to say to you and i'm not around to say it. >> bill: the former president before he went to court. now in court and jury selection

may wrap today. new pictures inside the courtroom. we bring them to you every day at this time and today, dana, the shirt is white and the tie is red and white stripe. >> dana: the cost of buying a home is getting more and more expensive. what that says about the biden economy. charles payne here to explain. see what we did there, charles? >> bidenomics ain't working. you wonder why we have record inflation and why eggs and milk and everything else cost more than it did under president trump. we'll forgive your loan, we'll pay for this and we'll pay for that.

maybe it's time to look and decide for yourself. >> dana: president biden hitting the trail this week touting his record on the economy. is it resonating? we have charles payne he is here. first, bill, tell us what's going on with the polls we got.

>> the four battleground states based on the economy and the issue. in michigan, georgia, pennsylvania, wisconsin. all these are critical. you will hear so much about these four states by november you will be sick of us talking about it. on the economy, trump is up 11. on the economy in michigan, in georgia up 22. and just hang on to that number, too. we'll show you the head-to-head in georgia in a moment. in pennsylvania it's 12. wisconsin nine. all favor trump right now on the economy. then we ask the question how do you feel about your own family situation? your financial matters now. are you getting ahead or falling behind? the numbers. not one state over 50%. michigan 48, georgia 44, pennsylvania 44, wisconsin 41. we'll ask charles how important that is. what we did with head-to-head. we believe, dana, right, the second poll we have seen now in georgia where the president,

former president has been at 50% or higher in georgia. critical mark for pollsters and how they ex appear inthe numbers. 51-45 in georgia. pennsylvania dead even tie for the 19 electoral votes there and in wisconsin dead even tie, 48-48 for the electoral votes in wisconsin. >> dana: how many in wisconsin? >> bill: i think it's ten. if i'm wrong, don't kill me. >> dana: i want to bring in charles payne and so glad you're here. >> bill: i think it's ten. i want to go to chatgpt. >> dana: it was on karl's board. it is not more than 11. >> bill: no. >> dana: charles, call for number two shows a median monthly payment for a home purchase is up 10%. mortgage rates changed since the start of biden's term is up 7%. you have the a.p. poll saying have biden's policies helped or

hurt you? hurt a lot 42%. that's not spin that's facts. >> it is fact. the spin is coming from biden and wall street economists and these folks. i always have these wall street economists on the show and lucky to get brilliant people. i was wondering if they have anyone in their family in the middle class. is anyone in your family poor? anyone? you have to get off the spreadsheets and ledgers. there is a real life thing. people in real life are getting crushed and three things that have risen more than wages, right? electricity bills, food bills, gasoline. guess what? every single person watches this show uses every single day, food, electricity and gasoline. so in a nutshell that tells you what is happening. gasoline, forget about everything that happened. we know one thing.

candidate biden said i will go to war with gasoline. the day after the election crude oil prices ticked up the day after the election and never looked back. that was what their mission was, to get prices so high we would buy e.v.s. we're not buying e.v.s but suffering. >> dana: the high prices. >> bill: mortgage rates. >> dana: i said 7%. >> bill: that's not good. we talk to folks in the office and younger and coming into the market and faced with these prices and they kind of grew up with rates being super low. historically low. and -- >> they were low for 40 years. >> bill: then you ask how long will it take before we get back to that point again? >> boy, i don't know. i mean, it is going to take a long time. the saying on the street now higher for longer with respect to interest rates and inflation. giving you an example. home affordability hit an

all-time low. the low is several decades. all-time low in october of last year. we're barely above that right now. only reason we're a little above that is some of the prices have come down. again, with these mortgage rates, it is crazy. >> dana: do you hear from any republicans, from president trump or any of the other republicans on specifically what policy would they promote in order to help get prices down? >> i do not. the one i hear most is drill, baby, drill. i like that. i really honestly wish we would build some refineries here. the last major refinery was built in the late 70s. guess what? we drill for sweet crude but have refineries that refine sour crude and why we export so much right now. i would do that. listen, i know not my backyard thing. enough places out there to build brand-new refineries and who would be smart, natural transition to alternatives beyond fossil fuels will take another 30 to 40 years. natural progression.

why not build refineries and bring our energy costs down so low, so low. then do other things like rare earth. we don't want to mine for it. a lot of these air earths aren't that rare. some things we don't have. some we do have. it is more dangerous, mining industry. rare approval is more like it. >> bill: you have a great new show coming up. i will quiz you. it is called the unbreakable investor town hall on wednesday. what is it about? >> it's about -- the market has been rocky lately. i'm trying to help investors get through the rocky patches. it is so sad to me. i implore everyone there has never been a greater money making machine than the stock market never. the most amazing thing anyone can get involved. you do need some knowledge and some information to help you get over the rocky patches. i'm so frustrated for the last 40 years watching people sell

stocks because they were down. i bought a stock and it went down. so i've got something special. i don't want to give it all away. i am calling it the quiz show edition. we'll have a quiz show at the en in the last block and giving out trophies as well. >> dana: i want to watch it. >> bill: you have to catch the very beginning. never saw anything like it on business tv. >> bill: wisconsin ten, nailed it. i'm good for the weekend. >> dana: maybe we'll see you thursday morning next week to tell us about the town hall. love to book my guests early. thanks, charles. >> see you later. >> the fact that the democrats now are trying to shore up the democratic base for joe biden shows you that he is playing defense. he is playing defense across the country. president trump is playing offense. >> bill: third party candidate securing a spot on the ballot in michigan. that could make some things interesting. stand by for that and this.

[chanting] >> bill: you have the anti-israeli protestors erupting across the country sparking fear in the jewish community. the startling rise of anti-semitism on full display in parts of america this week. [chanting and shouting] there's an old saying in the navy that the toughest job in the navy is a navy wife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about.

opening statements could start as soon as monday. shannon bream joins us now. what did you think of the jury selection process and his point that everyone is allowed to talk about him but he can't talk about them? >> a lot of folks across the political spectrum think they have a strong legal argument when it comes to the first amendment. election season, a very unique defendant. unique set of circumstances and take it as far as they have to. they say it's a constitutional issue they want to fight it out. what is interesting for all of us watching the jury selection is two people on the jury are off the jury. we think we'll get there by the end of the day with the alternates that they can start the substance of the trial monday but we have to see. >> bill: take you to some of these numbers. specifically michigan. we had biden -- we had trump down eight in april. 2020. we have him today up three in our polling.

if you put in a third candidate such as kennedy, trump has a two point edge there, kennedy gets a tick below 10%. the vulnerability in michigan goes back to the primary for joe biden where you had 154,000 raw votes in 2020 which was the difference between the two. but you had an uncommitted vote of 13% in 2024. now, that graphic might be a little confusing but i think there are two things going on here, shannon. you have the arab american population in dearborn but you have the e.v. push for the auto industry that hasn't gotten as much play. now you see that industry hitting neutral, so to speak, in terms of its ability to sell and produce and trump is going in there and saying they'll shop your job down the road if joe biden gets four more years. how do you think all of this

plays as you see it? >> in neutral. i see what you did very crafty. definitely you see the unions by and large mostly coming out as they normally do to support the democratic candidate. you have a lot of workers out there now raising their concerns, many of which you outlined saying yeah, we understand this change to the industry will cost us jobs. you see trump out there trying to say i am the president of the american worker. here is how my policies made things better for you. michigan is a real headache for the biden administration and that ticket now for all the reasons you point out. abandon biden group that did so well there getting more than 100,000 people to take time out of their day and vote uncommitted knowing it wasn't going anywhere shows a real passion and fury almost at this administration that they will have to figure how to manage especially since rfk junior is in michigan. >> dana: a lot of people wrote

him off from getting on the ballot. he is not like on the vermont ballot but he got on the michigan ballot. he put out a statement. the rest of his family will endorse biden. i hear some of my family will be endorsing biden today. i'm pleased they're politically active. a family tradition and hold this as a possibility for america, too. can we disagree without hating our opponents? he goes on. i think the fact that the dnc and biden campaign has set up a separate office to fight back third party candidates shows president trump is in a strong relatively speaking position in michigan. rfk junior, do you think he will get on any other ballots? >> they think they are close in a number of other states. if it's a definite blue or red state it doesn't matter but when he shows up a swing state like michigan or arizona and other

places that are really tricky that the two top candidates know they need to add to their pile to win it becomes a real problem for them. you are an expert in messaging, dana. the statement from rfk junior was smart and says we love each other as a family. so kind of taking the high ground and talking about the bigger picture could we have this conversation. >> dana: he is authentic and looked to me like he wrote that himself. and then he believes it and so it wasn't some canned comment. who do you have this week? jonathan turley and tom dupree >> we'll look ahead at the arguments on thursday in the supreme court on immunity. >> bill: celebrity news. the law and order actress helping a lost girl find her mom in a new york city park filming

a scene when the little girl spotted the police badge on her belt. it was a prop, by the way. the child thought she was a real officer and she was then reunited with her mom. >> dana: that's so sweet. oh my gosh. also you know it reminds you in terms of back the blue. this little girl imagine that period was like when you got loss and saw a police badge and knew it was safety. i love it. well done. that beats all the sports news of the week that i had. i'll do better next week. all right. want to get you to this. iran's foreign minister visited the united nations in new york city even after tehran's unprecedented attack against israel and also this. pro-palestinian protestors chant death to america as anti-semitism surges across the u.s. daniel krauthammer on that next. ♪ >> i really don't know whether i

>> israel commits that same mistake, our response will be regretful for them immediate and decisive and definitive. >> dana: iran's foreign minister issuing a warning hours before israel struck a military base in central iran. today at the united nations he will be in new york city. awaiting both iran and u.n.'s response to the israeli strike. alexis mcadams is back again at the u.n. with more today. hi, alexis. >> good morning. we'll have to wait and see what

plays out at the united nations but we know iran's foreign minister is in new york city today. yesterday he had a strong warning saying if israel did attack they would regret it. watch. >> we have announced to the white house, sent a message to the white house and washington, d.c., the administration, in which we reiterated if the israeli regime commits the greater orr once again our response will be decisive, definitive and regretful for them. >> decisive, definitive and regretful. the overnight strike from israel o one day after the united nations vote -- something israel was fighting hard to stop. iranian foreign minister spoke at the meeting yesterday telling the counsel israel must be compelled to stop any further military activity against

iranian. he said iran is making a mockery here. >> can you not see what is going on here? terror minister is not here to express sorrow for his regime's attack and tell this counsel the islamic republic has changed its ways. he is here to make a mockery of you. >> so back out here we can tell you this morning secretary of state antony blinken saying the united states has not been involved in any offensive operations with israel calling for de-escalation in the middle east. >> let me simply first of all repeat what our focus has been and what it remains. de-escalation avoiding conflict yes, calling on all concerned to exercise restraint. >> as we keep a close eye on what is happening on the ground in the big apple at the upn upn

the secretary general condemns any act of retaliation in the middle east. >> dana: thank you. [shouting] >> death to america. >> burn it all down. >> you have freedoms here, no? >> bill: anti-israeli protests breaking out from coast to coast showing deep divisions over the war in gaza getting deeper and fueling a surge of anti-semitism. daniel krauthammer is a writer on the son of the late dr. charles krauthammer. great to see you again and you are looking good. we'll get to some numbers in a moment. as a jewish american, how do you come to understand what you are watching? >> well, it is very worrying and very disturbing.

and i think not just as a jushgs but -- jew but as an american even more so. some of the clips you showed it is getting quite extreme. it is useful because it takes the mask off of what was under the surface of a lot of what we've seen. there is a lot of americans out there who have human sympathy for palestinian civilians caught in the crossfire. this is not that. this is glorifying violence and not calling for free palestinian, this is calling for destroy israel. and most tellingly as you showed in your clip, it is for death to america, destroy america, too, which i think shows that this is add its core, this virulent edge of protest is not really about israel or palestinian. this is about arguments and very deep fissures in american society projected and used to

play act this out. it is a threat to america, i think, much more so than to israel. we need to wake up to this and figure out how to address it. >> dana: the other day on his call me back podcast they were saying if you google, search anti-semitism and put in any century you would be shocked. the a.p. has a new poll out says anti-semitism is at historic levels. 24% of americans hold those beliefs. 27% find it somewhat acceptable. you also had this headline from the "wall street journal" that gaza protests at colleges open a generational divide. we might be seeing that as 100 students at columbia got arrested and they had to call home, what happened to me and i was suspended as well. lessons you learned from your dad about combating this kind of hate, is there something that sticks out that you can share with the rest of us that we can

pass on to others? >> well, something he cared deeply about, and i do, too, in the polls you showed i think one data point didn't come up but you expressed it is that anti-semitism is highest among the youngest americans, which is the most worrying thing. that's the next generation and particularly at these schools you show, the next generation of leaders. and i think as my dad did, and i do when i can it is important to speak out and call it out for what it is. and these instances it is very clear. and i think administrators, people in positions of authority need to do that because they have had double standards for a long time. we all know it and have seen it. and i think this could be a good opportunity to apply an actual standard. i think free speech should be alive and well but not intimidation, violence, harassment on these campuses. and i think what is really needed is instead of being out

harassing their fellow students, these kids should be in the classroom debating this with logic and reason and learning how to work in a democratic system, which is the whole point what our universities are supposed to be. i think we need to push our education system away from this activist mindset back to a finding truth mindset. have people debate and talk and not just use slurs and slogans and not post tiktok videos that are pushed by the chinese government to exacerbate all these problems and it's not just jew hatred but self-hatred and hatred of america among this rising generation. >> bill: i especially like the point a danger more to america than it is israel. that says a lot. daniel, good to see you again and thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> bill: best to your mom. >> dana: showdown over foreign

-remember when i said we need to screen for colon cancer? -was that after i texted the age to screen was now 45? [both] because i said cologuard®! -hey there! -where did he come from? -yup, with me you can screen at home. just talk to your provider. [both] we'll screen with cologuard and do it my way. cologuard is a one-of-a-kind way to screen for colon cancer that's effective and non-invasive.

it's for people 45+ at average risk, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your provider for me, cologuard. >> harris: when you tune in to "the faulkner focus" the u.s. house is kicking off the process on the big bills. israel hit inside iran as the back and forth has the world's attention. former president trump fighting for fairness inside a new york courtroom. 12 jurors have been chosen. in swing states, biden is failing to pull ahead of trump. rfk junior is in play. we'll get into it. senator joni ernst, turn bret tollman and jason rantz top of the hour. >> dana: a foreign aid package for ukraine, israel and taiwan by mike johnson. quite a week on capitol hill.

he has gotten rare help from democrats. he faces a revolt by some conservatives if he moves ahead with the plan. how will it go? correspondent chad pergram is on capitol hill and counting the noses, what do you see? >> this vote is essential to put the aid bill on the floor. it is likely this procedural vote advances with help from democrats. extremely rare in the house. otherwise the house would block the bill from coming to the floor. >> the majority's voice is being heard here on the house floor. democrats are providing the votes necessary to advance this legislation to the floor because at the end of the day so much more is at stake here than petty partisanship. >> house conservatives are outraged that johnson-ma lean on democrats to pass the bill. he has relied on democrats like plans to avert government shutdowns. >> he continues to diminish and weaken himself by passing

legislation with democrat votes. >> thomas massey opposed the gamut for ukraine and israel in the rules compaty last night. >> i'm concerned that the speaker has cut a deal with the democrats to fund foreign wars rather than secure our border. >> some conservatives demand that johnson include border security in the package. massey is on board with the plan to evict johnson from the speaker's office. there are 13 -- 16 democratic yays on the board on the democratic side. extremely rare on a rule vote. that's a big deal. dana and bill. >> dana: we'll pay attention and they have votes tomorrow. that's unusual. you'll be on top of it for us. >> bill: a lot of it will be wrapped up if they go forward. the speaker was asked about it a moment ago and roll the tape. >> do you worry about your job? >> i don't worry, i do my job. >> is it time to put the motion on the floor? >> we'll see what happens.

i will do my job. i am not deterred by threats. we'll do the right thing. >> dana: i heard that he prayed about it. talked with his team about it and decided this was the way to go and also said he was persuaded by the intel that had been provided to him. he has a son going to the naval academy. he would rather have all this taken care of without americans having to get more involved. we'll see what happens on that. >> bill: before we scoot, before we go. these ballerinas could say they broke a leg wednesday outside new york plaza hotel. it set a new guinness world record. >> dana: isn't that beautiful? good job, ladies. you go, girl. another you go, girl. here is harris faulkner. >> harris: perfect on a friday. i needed that.
