ASHLEY STROHMIER (FOX OVERNIGHT ANCHOR): The campaign for Western Oregon to secede to Idaho is gaining traction. In a weekend op-ed the former Oregon House Speaker writes, quote, "Idaho would have the satisfaction of freeing rural, conservative communities from progressive blue-state law. We are dismayed by the manner in which Oregon government has marginalized our values and villainized our resource-based livelihoods." If successful, Idaho would absorb 63% of Oregon's landmass which holds 9% of the state's population. And those are your headlines, guys, back to you.
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): That's amazing.
STROHMIER: I think -- I would be OK with it.
