tom reed, republican from new york was willing to vote for nancy pelosi after nancy pelosi vowed tooor these house rule changes which were implemented. pelosi said she did not want to read t vote so he did not vote for her but there was a bipartisan group called the problem solvers and they have not yet said what they want but that is something to watch because they will want what they got two years ago and then they may want some other rule changes and one of the rule changes that is inside but significant that the marini party and house they are allowed a certain amount of amendments and motions and sometimes they will try to get a motion on a bill to basically kill the billy and that is offered on the house floor and minority has very few rights in the house but that is one of the rights they had and usually it's kind of, to use that vote a a campaign ammunition his emotion at leadership does not want but moderates don't want to vote against because it could be used against themhether on immigration or healthcare or whatever the issue is. there has been talked instead of having that

, nancy pelosi necessarily. there are a few things they did vote about, you just look at the numbers and a lot of these races. the democrats thought they would win without it they would flip. first, they didn't want trump, they wanted biden. maybe not a democratic house, or even a democratic house and senate. secondly, some people were concerned about phrases. "defund the police" rather than "reform the police." "medicare for all" rather than, "we will expand on obamacare, that you keep your insurance if you have it and watch it." but the majority of americans want a government program to fill in that gap. so democrats really mess up the messaging. i'm sorry, it's the progressive faction of my party that said that ended that, and they are blaming nancy pelosi but they need to look in the mirror. >> harris: i'm also hearing that there is at least some discussion about replacing nancy pelosi. i don't know what that would look like, but i just put that out there. a recent comment by former democratic presidential c

nancy pelosi used to be the far left wing of the party. she is now the center of her party with people like aoc far off to the left and dragging nancy pelosi, who refuses to stand up to any of these people, along with them. but the other thing i think is very important to remember is that richard you may not have paid attention to the last eight months but the president has been talking about covid the entire eight months and doing a lot about it. >> really? >> last word, richard. >> i think i missed those stories. at least in the last 48 hours i missed the president telling folks where to get a covid test. let me be clear. there is no need to worry about -- no need to worry about that, charlie. here is what we do know. when president-elect biden and president-elect kamala harris take the reins on this government they'll be focused on that. democrats will protect healthcare and democrats protect those with pre-existing conditions. now there are 10 million more americans with pre-existing conditions because of covid and biden and harris wil

nancy pelosi about it. the three states that get the most money happened to be california, new york, massachusetts. i'm trying to get a better deal for us. obamacare is appetizer, bernie sanders is in charge, his champion. socialized medicine is one vote away. control of the senate is on the ballots. if they get control of the house, synods, and white house, your health care will go away. we will be under the government banner of socialized medicine. you will have less toys and the quality will go down. my goal is to help people who are struggling, i don't need a lecture, i lost my parents 15 months apart, i know what is the like to wake up and have your life doing to be ready the answer is not -- to have your life the wind -- life ruined. harrison, the fbi director said that the greatest threats we face in the homeland is that posed by loan actors radicalize online would to attack soft targets with easily accessible weapons. the fbi disrupted a plot to kidnap michigan's governor and there were plans to do

nancy pelosi said she would only run for two more terms. she has backed away from that. demand fromt-up younger members to move up. secondary races are getting organized. race will be for assistant speaker, katherine clark of massachusetts, centrist the member from rhode island ; the winner would be in line to get the number two job in the democratic caucus, behind hakim jeffries of new york city, unopposed to remain the number 4 job, caucus chairman. thought briefly about challenging. he decided to stay in the job. he seems to be the odds-on bet to be the leader of the democrats when the nancy pelosi chai brett moves on -- nancy on.si triumvirate moves there are different styles. california and new york. they have a different job. democrats will have one of their narrowest majorities in decades, next year. we don't know how narrow. it is in the range of the smallest majority for either party in 20 years. they are looking ahead at a joe biden midterm in two years. redistricting, republicans may make more gains. is forrd leadership job caucus vice chairman. democrats have

if 10 democrats vote again against nancy pelosi, she will not be speaker. you see, the numbers are different. it is the smallest democrat majority since world war ii. chair toconference congresswoman aoc, it doesn't seem like they're getting along very well. there fighting on the fundamental of who they are. for what they champion and what they lost over. and they have the exact same leadership team that they lost last time with. ifon't know in history there's ever been a leadership team to lose the majority twice. we will know for sure whether that will be in history. [indiscernible] they both say joe biden should have access to classified information in repairing for transition. rep. mccarthy: only because i knew you were coming, i wanted to make sure what joe biden said. i'm part of the gang of eight. i do trust our intel community. look, access to classified information is useful , but i'm not in a position to make any decisions on those issues anyway. so as i said, one president at a time. he will be president until january 20. would be nice to have it

still ahead, another democrat wants nancy pelosi out. moderates must rally behind the challenger or else keep her gavel. and analyst joins us next. ♪ jillian: the top 3 highest-ranking house republicans will be reelected to their leadership posts. kevin mccarthy reelected a harris house minority leader, he did not face any challenges. louisiana, and steve scalise reelected gop with an wyoming congresswoman liz cheney will serve as conference chair. not one gop lawmaker in the house lost election. republicans will continue to fight the far left agenda in the house. >> the plan in the house is continue to the battle the socialist agenda the nancy pelosi and other allies in the house moved in the last few years, this battle between liberals and aoc. they voted for two years for a socialist agenda, defunding the police, raising taxes, medicare for all, getting would've fossil fuels and rejected at the polls. >> record number of republican women were elected to the next congress. the wheezy and are congressman frederick richmond leaving the

first of all you haven't spoken to nancy pelosi. i understand in several months, has it been a year that you haven't had a straight-on conversation with nancy pelosi? >> i've talked to her within the year, but this is a real challenge. i've called her after the election. the majority leader called and congratulated me on the victor ies and we've talked about the agenda moving forward, steny hoyer and i and that's what you need to have inside congress, when the elections are over you're going to have to find a way that you move forward we have different philosophies and we're going to keep those philosophies, but we're going to find a way that we can work for the american public. the speaker, just as she said in the past, at that doing nothing is better than something, the only challenge being held up for those who are unemployed and small business workers who need the money who have a dream that they finally could end if they don't have resources and help is really stuck with nancy pelosi. all the other times we've been able to do a

the house democratic caucus elected nancy pelosi as our speaker designee for the 117th congress. steny hoyer as our majority leader for the 117th congress. jim clyburn as our majority whip for the 117th congress. and katherine clark as our assistant speaker for the 117th congress. additional leadership elections will take place tomorrow. it is now my distinct honor and privilege to introduce speaker nancy pelosi, a voice for the voiceless, a defender of the disenfranchised, a legendary legislator, a notorious negotiator, and a powerful, profound, prophetic, principled public servant, speaker nancy pelosi. mr. clyburn: tell it like it is. ms. pelosi: i thank so much, mr. chairman, for your kind words. i always accept any compliments on behalf of the house democratic caucus because they enable any of what we do to be possible by those in favor say aye courage -- by their courage, their integrity, and just a beautiful vision for a better america. i want to congratulate you, mr. chairman, on your election, re-election as chair. i want to congratulate steny yer on his re-election and

i don't like nancy pelosi. -- i like nancy pelosi. she is probably one of the best leaders we've got. [indiscernible] try to get rid of that thing we have in here for president. host: speaker pelosi, according to the washington post, and her toptenant have held the two posts for 18 years. been rightrn has behind them for 15 years. scott, kansas, democratic caller. do you think that there should be a change in leadership at the top? caller: no, but i think that they should be grooming the younger people to get ready for new leadership. host: like who? think awell, i do moderate is the middle of the democrat. that is where we need to continue to stay. theally don't know who in younger group would fit that mold the best, but the party has some definite challenges, and i think that pelosi has held together pretty well. i think in the senate the same way. there is notgh more compromise. it is not a dirty word. people should get together. the honesty of both sides should be crystal-clear. i am still a little upset about ,ary garland -- merr

>> never bet against nancy pelosi. for a moment you have to look at the context of the fact that leaders of the democratic party could be hiding, schumer and pelosi, not exactly a young vibrant and diverse if you ask me but there is an interesting little moment that we all have to look forward to which speaker pelosi and that is the recorded vote on the floor. among these people who didn't vote for nancy pelosi before between five and seven of them are going to have to switch and vote for her this time even though they didn't vote for her last time. that's like asking the members to politically walk the plank and reversed their position on the value and utility of your leadership but one thing i know about nancy pelosi, she's got an iron grip on that democratic caucus so she will find a way. it might mean a few members make their way to the appropriations committee despite not having seniority or might mean a few people get on ways and means or get their foreign troops approved or bigger staffs or different offices but

if democrats and nancy pelosi have the gavel in the house. we can do nothing in the committees of the house. we're only ranking members of the committees. we can't subpoena documents. during the whole impeachment sham were number calling individuals to testify. the democrats wouldn't let the individuals come because they control the chamber. so hopefully at some point we'll have control of the chamber. we can investigate. we will rely on others in the senate like lindsey graham to do the investigations to call upon a.g. barr to appoint a special counsel to do the investigations because we have no power in the house to do it. elizabeth: where does this end up over in the senate? what do you think happens? >> i hope it doesn't end up where we still are today with things like the durham investigation and other things that are going on. the american people, everywhere i go in my district people ask me when is the outcome of these investigations happening? we haven't heard the outcome of durham investigation, what lindsey graham is doing with some

about nancy pelosi, i will not be voting for nancy pelosi. i have no idea if people will run against her or who might run against her. i will have this conversation directly with her that i believe we need new leadership. your reaction? >> my reaction is miss slot can voted with nancy pelosi most of the time, overwhelming amount of time and she always pay the piper for it. again, i think the american people have spoken. we won back a number of seats, knocked off a bunch of democrat incumbents. every one of our incumbents are coming back in the house was i think we are going to win the senate, retain the senate. i think donald trump still has a great shot at this if it is done in the right way but let me tell you it will be interesting to see what happens in the two wings of the democratic party but quite frankly what i am seeing, the radical socialist wing of it is one that is prevailing. >> it is apparently currently divided. it will be interesting to see if that is a sign of things to come for nancy pelosi, appreciate you coming on. 20 minu

. >> but everybody put the responsibility on nancy pelosi. it's not even a partisan issue. people in her own party criticized her. >> she passed it twice! mitch mcconnell refused to take it up. >> [overlapping talking]. >> she passed it twice. >> harris: we are pausing. we are pausing. could senator bernie sanders become a key player in a biden administration? i just mentioned the job sanders says he wants or is open to. senator elizabeth warren steps on pressure on biden to embrace a far left agenda. stay close. >> do i expect they will keep their word in maintaining and legislating on the proposals we agreed to? yes, i do. attention veteran homeowners: record low mortgage rates have dropped even lower. at newday, veterans can shortcut the refinance process and save $250 a month. $3000 dollars a year. with the va streamline refi at newday, there's no appraisal, no income verification, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $3000 a year. to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't. [grunting noise] i'll take that. woohoo! 30 grams of protein

nancy pelosi talking there it's the 1st time we've actually heard from any of the senior democrat side before this point and we. definitely declaring victory she is saying that the biden hardest administration will soon be in the white house and taking action just to clarify a point while the secretary of state in georgia says he thinks it will be. under georgia law it's up to one of the parties to call for that recount so it doesn't automatically happen even though the margins are very tight indeed as far as the truck campaign is concerned they have put out a statement in the last couple of hours saying that this election is not over the false projections of joe biden winning. is based on the results from 4 states which are far from final they've talked about where they might possibly take legal action a given indications of where and some of those 4 states you think there were problems in georgia or the think it was harvesting where people go around collecting up the forms from people and perhaps even voting for them they said that observers were not a load and to the count in pennsy

nancy pelosi. pelosi chose not to blame far left colleagues and argued the party can have an aggressive agenda and joe biden will take the oval office. >> president elect biden has a strong mandate to lead and will have a strong democratic house with him. >> alexandria ocasio-cortez is pushing back on criticism from colleagues. saying it wasn't defunding police that hurt the party. she blames the poor strategy of the failed campaigns. she said there are folks blaming progressivism for under performance. i was curious. almost all had awful execution on digital during a pandemic. new york governor andrew cuomo thinks he knows why the dems lost key races blaming bill de blasio. >> fox news asked speaker pelosi if there was tension among democrats, she said they had a healthy difference of opinion but not a problem moving forward. >> shannon: thank you. former vice president biden addressed this idea of a democratic mandate minutes ago even though so many races are too close to call. >> they have given

nancy pelosi has put relief packages on the senate's doorstep. mitch mcconnell refuses to move on them. we will see if anything could get done now because i think we can all agree that the american people need some more help. >> jon: marie harf, matt gaetz, thank you both. still ahead on "the story," journalist on the consequences on the possible covid-19 lockdowns as president trump delivers encouraging news on the vaccine front. ♪ i had shingles. horrible. a young thing like me? actually anyone 50 or over is at increased risk for shingles. the pain, the burning! my husband had to do everything for weeks. and the thing is, there's nothing you can do about it! shingles can be prevented. shingles can be whaaat? prevented. you can get vaccinated. frank! they have shingles vaccines! whaaat? that's what i said. we're taking you to the doctor. not going through that again. you can also get it from your pharmacist! 50 years or older? get vaccinated for shingles. now. 50 years or older? when it comes to the quality of our cars: the highest. it's why o

we heard that, that he is going to take the reins from steve minasian, because nancy pelosi has egg and something else all over her face for dragging them and not pushing through stimulus the american people need. she was trying not to give president trump a win. i think that's where some of the green shoots are coming from. >> dana: how about you? >> greg: i just want to point out the people spitting on cops in west village and people punching cops are not doing it because they are mad trump is losing, so i wouldn't worry too much about violence coming from that side. it has never come from that side, i'm confident saying that. it is not going to be the boogaloos with a proud boys out there spreading violence. you don't need widespread fraud, right? you just need widespread in confidence or legalities where matters, so why not look for? check to see if it's there, and if it's not there, it's not there. we're going to have to deal this sooner or later but the next election, with mail-in voting becoming more prevalent. we should investigate this and we are comfortable with the system if

if 10 democrats vote again against nancy pelosi, she'll not be speaker. you see, the numbers are different. it is the smallest democrat majority since world war ii. from every reporting i'm seeing, i'm just reading twitter, from the conference chair to congresswoman a.o.c., doesn't seem they're getting along very well. they're fighting on the fundamental of who they are. for what they champion and what they lost over. and they had the exact same leadership team they lost last time with. i don't know in history has there ever been a leadership team to lose the majority twice. if they elect the same, we'll know for sure whether that will be in history. chuck grassley says joe biden said access to classified briefings to prepare for the transition. do you believe joe biden has access to classified briefing? kevin: only because i knew that you were coming and wanted to make sure i knew, too. i'm a gang of eight and i trust our intel community. and i want to continue to trust it. joe biden said in regards to this, look, access to classified information is usef

that favors nancy pelosi. the quicker the election, the less time there is for their to build any momentum in opposition against her. nowe is some chatter right from moderates who are just crumpled about the number of seats that have been lost by democrats in a very surprising fashion. at least seven vulnerable democrats in the house went down to defeat. that has caused some andternation in the party has incited some chatter about whether or not there should be a challenge to nancy pelosi but so far, none has emerged. then we had right into the lame-duck session itself. the big issue is whether or not there will be any sort of coronavirus stimulus. as you remember, there have been months and months of negotiations between pelosi and the treasury secretary emma steven mnuchin. those did not yield any fruit before the election. there is a glimmer of hope that there could be some kind of arrangement and deal reached in the lame-duck session but given what is happening now with the president himself in contesting

nancy pelosi is always been that lightning rod. then she tends to survive it, i don't know that the democrats are strong enough inside of their own caucus to take her down. right now a lot of noise against her. but the bigger issue what did the democrats do wrong? why did they lose a race where they were expected to gain seats? i put the loss between 10 and 15 net seats. that is why their majority will be so slim. it will be hard for fractious democratic coalition to do anything in the house of representatives regardless who the president of the united states is. what is wrong, all this noise about defund the police, "medicare for all". vociferious left-wing socialist sounding noises were quite pronounced in the house of representatives. they're too liberal. that is the problem they have. elizabeth: that is a great interesting point because, you know the nation is crying for leadership. we've been through 9/11. iraq debacle. the 2008 financial crisis. unprepareness for a pandemic. democrats want to change u.s. institutions, pack th

nancy pelosi about it. the three states that get the most money happened to be california, new york, massachusetts. i'm trying to get a better deal for us. obamacare is appetizer, bernie sanders is in charge, his champion. socialized medicine is one vote away. control of the senate is on the ballots. if they get control of the house, synods, and white house, your health care will go away. we will be under the government banner of socialized medicine. you will have less toys and the quality will go down. my goal is to help people who are struggling, i don't need a lecture, i lost my parents 15 months apart, i know what is the like to wake up and have your life doing to be ready the answer is not -- to have your life the wind -- life ruined. harrison, the fbi director said that the greatest threats we face in the homeland is that posed by loan actors radicalize online would to attack soft targets with easily accessible weapons. the fbi disrupted a plot to kidnap michigan's governor and there were plans to do

we need nancy pelosi to go. guest: thank you for calling it. it is interesting you touched on nancy pelosi because we have seen some democrats speak out. there is inter-party fighting about socialism and the direction of their party. we have seen one congresswoman speak out to say she is not going to vote for nancy pelosi. that relationship between the current president and nancy pelosi has become toxic. there doesn't seem to be any effort to work together. it seems to have become personal. i think she is marching the democrats for the left which is not the direction the american people want to go. we have seen this with the handling of covid and stimulus checks. to hear if youed recall in and say they are ready for her to go. -- to call in and say they are ready for her to go. host: pelosi was asked about those topical differences between the democratic party and house members. here's what she said. [video clip] progress, -- in these philosophical differences when it is going to be more to the left. if you are going to get something done regar

paul: kim, talk about, elaborate on that but also i want to talk about nancy pelosi. she was renominated by the democrats selected as the candidate for speaker again but with a narrower majority. she could have under ten seats when all the seats still out are counted. how wounded is she and her leadership? kim: quite wounded. i don't think anyone doubted she would be elected speaker again although she made the promise that this would be her last term doing so. that might have also helped her get that support but the bigger problem she has, you are seeing this play out every day, the growing divide between progressives and her party and moderates in her party. they are open warfare at the moment so not only does she have a much narrower mandate majority and much less operating room but she has a party that can't agree on anything. that will monumentally make her job more difficult in the house no matter if it's republicans or democrats in the end. paul: dan, will that mean she will have to go ahead and hand to the leaders and say sure, i know i said mean things about y

nancy pelosi wins back the gavel as house speaker. she is signaling this could be her last term as speaker. congressman, there is a real dapping are zone happening right now for the democrat party. we'll explain. battleground state of florida, by the way, many examples of the media showing that democrats are in a postelection melt down in swing states like florida. it is not just in the house. it is also happening in the swing states. the democrats had one of the worst election performances in the country. the democrats are at a tipping point in florida. they lost, blue, blue, miami-dade county. hispanics, ex-parts from cuba and venezuela. saying we're not socialists. we're not going there but here's the thing. the timing could not be worse. we're seeing political redistricting happening where the republicans command, governing, most of the majority of statehouses across the country. >> sure. elizabeth: they can redraw the maps to get their gang into congress and statehouses. not looking good for democrats right now. your word on this

nancy pelosi, getting closer to actually our book being done, a decade later. pelosi began to run into trouble. and welcome back to this, i hope all have time. in fact, i will have time, only time for it. that many of you will recall that after the show lacking the democrats took in 2010, and actually in the run up to that election, there was active talk among many democrats, especially involved democrats, that nancy pelosi has to go. and up there was a bit of a rebellion within the realm democratic party, that she survived in nonetheless, if the democrats had help the house in 2010, history could've been very, very different. by the time we roll into finishing our book, john boehner had been elected speaker and strong clouds were on the horizon. and as they mentioned several times, here you go here is his second election as speaker. and we see that he had a bunch of votes, and nancy pelosi had a bunch of votes. and then a bunch of other people get a bunch of those. and all these stories are next to republicans. so this old-world has been gone to fray. this is

>> well, is nancy pelosi calculating? absolutely, she is. here's the calculation that's going on, david. the democrats are trying to ride two horses at the same time. you saw them do it with biden, they're trying to do it in the special election. because they're trying to be moderate enough to pick up swing voters, but they still have to be far enough to motivate their base and keep the radicals onboard. that's why nancy pelosi will not cave on the relief package and why she's stalling because she wants this radical agenda9 that the far left is calling for such as direct stimulus payments to illegal immigrants, tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires in blue states and, of course, bailing out the budgets of these blue states where their budgets have been mismanaged for years. but nancy pelosi cannot meet us halfway, us being republicans, she can't meet us halfway with any what i would call a skinny covid relief package because if she does, it's going to be viewed as a sellout to their far-left radical base and drive their turnout down in

paul: speaker nancy pelosi set to preside over one of the slimmest house majority in decades, despite polls that had predicted a blue wave, democratic members are pointing fingers at each other with centrists blaming the left flank for the losses, saying their ideas and rhetoric allowed the gop to tag them as socialists and anti-law enforcement. jason, what do you make of the speaker's analysis of the election that it was trump at the top of the ballot and she thinks it was all just terrific? >> [laughter] well, it's a nice bit of spin. i don't think very many democrats would consider -- would say they had a terrific election last week. i think the house democrats had a few problems. one is, it was never really clear what they were running on. they weren't united on a theme. in 2018, they were pretty united, running on healthcare. this time around it was less clear what they were trying to get across to the american people. i think also nancy pelosi might have overplayed her hand with that most recent stimulus package that she's been negotiating with the white house. they made some pr

this one involves top democrat leaders like nancy pelosi. also more on the democrats hey, we shrunk the party as a threat to their party now is so bad in the house that top democrat leaders like pelosi and steny hoyer are circling the wagons to stay in power. reportedly putting pressure on house democrats not to quit and jump ship, stay with us. we have the far left now trying to claim they did not alienate voters with defund the police push even as hbo's bill maher says oh, yeah, you did. to this story from former top fbi official andrew mccabe. he is firing back on president trump's threats to declassify more trump russia, maybe michael flynn probe documents. andrew mccabe threatening there is secret intelligence that could really damage president trump but he offered no proof of that. we have up dates on the john durham, general michael flynn and hunter biden probes. this debate, how serious is the democrat threat to take down the border wall? guess how many miles of wall was permanently taken down over the last would decades, can you gee

they're blaming nancy pelosi and the hard left for alienating voters with extreme rhetoric like defund the police. the irony rich because now conservatives took those democrat seats, and pelosi's house speaker job could be on the chopping block. so here's the question, how can pelosi and the democrats ignored the moderates' warnings, e ignored the moderates' wake-up calls ringing off the hook for so many months right now? and now democrats are blaming the same polls and forecasts that they were riding high on for now being so wrong, the exact same polls they said were so right when it showed them winning. and why critics are now asking why members of the media have yet to answer their wake-up call too, that the media is so out of touch that they are baffled now over i why a certain big voting bloc abandoned democrats when the trend has also been there and growing for months on end? thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald, "the everyoning edit" -- evening edit" starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: okay. welcome to the show. your watching the -- you're watching the fox business networ

in nancy pelosi is going to say no to that, what do you say? >> i say nancy pelosi needs to put politics aside and do its best for america. if she would take time to look at the data, i've said it before every place they built a border barrier, every places resulted in decreased illegal drug flow, pretty much pays for itself because the less illegal immigration you save millions of dollars in detention costs, court costs, removal cost is about protecting america, but the politics aside and do your job. liz: illegal border crossing are on the rise for the sixth straight month, receive historic captures of narcotics by u.s. border authorities, enough doses of methamphetamine for every man, woman and child in the u.s. and mexico sees recently in southern california, arrests of illegal border crossers of more than 20% since september, 69000 arrested and we have 20 previously reported sex offenders to cross back into arizona and california. >> it is called the biden effect. i wrote an op-ed on fox news.com once joe biden was declared democratic nomi

do you think nancy pelosi's speakership is in jeopardy? >> i don't think it is at this moment, victor. look, i think moving forward what president-elect and vice president-elect joe biden and kamala harris are going to need in the congress is somebody with the depth and breadth of knowledge and experience and talent like nancy pelosi. they are going to really have to put together a strong coalition in the house as well as try to convince enough senators -- and hopefully if we get the georgia senate seat it will be a lot easier, but you're going to need the talent nancy pelosi bring tuesday the table. the fact she can pull together the democrats and keep them unified in a way i don't think we've seen anyone else be able to do in recent history. now, will she get re-elected? i don't know. i think she will. i think she still has tremendous support from all corners of the house of representatives. and again, the challenges ahead for the democrats are daunting. and i don't think there is no one that is better positioned to meet those challenges
