BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): I'm thinking if he is going to do it, maybe he decides I'm going to do it, you take your mugshot, you take your fingerprints and then, I'm going to show up and then you decide where you stand on my four indictments and what happened today in the 18 others that had to do the same thing. So either way, he is going to be a dominant force at the debate.
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Well, he has already said, you know, he hadn't made up his mind. He has already said the second debate, which is going to be on Fox Business, which is going to out at the Ronald Reagan Library in California, he's already said, 'I don't like the guy who runs that so I'm probably not going to go to that debate.' So, if he doesn't show up for the first two debates, people are going to go, why isn't he — is he afraid of something? Why isn't he showing up?
