in fact, the date proposed is the day before super tuesday. how do you think this is going over for the former president and his team right now? >> that could force him to lose a very critical election window ahead of, you know, actually determining who the nominee is. in march, trial date for the disgraced four times indicted x president had to count there. >> laura: it's like they are all ready to pop. they do have that special glow. they are expecting that trump's legal troubles will deliver a surprise next year this handicaps donald trump. it hurts donald trump. this is a general election challenge for the president that likely emboldens the incumbent joe biden. >> laura: these self-proclaimed defenders of democracy, they want you to believe that their priority is restoring respect and dignity to journalism and to politics. it's going to be justice for all. but, when you listen coastally, you see what they are really all about. they are really accusing trump of what they, themselves are. just vengeful idealogues who revel in the humiliation and shame of others. >> in everything you're going to be able to see live on tv. there are going to be mug shots there are going to be fingerprints. >> donald trump will be fingerprinted. he will be photographed. and end up with a mugshot. >> the very first presidential mugshot. >> how is a mugshot of the former president in any way necessary or in any way good for america? are they really worried that he is going to disappear into the general population or that as a 2024 presidential candidate that he is going to try to leave the country, flee? i half expect him to push for bail to be set at a billion dollars that will show him. the sick fantasy never ends. >> donald trump will find it very difficult to be even be given bail. >> there is bail. that is the thing that he is not factoring in if he continues speaking the way he has been speaking one, if not more of these judges will take action. >> laura: will take action. of course for years the humiliation squad has been itching to see not just that trump mugshot, but also to have him behind bars. >> you are saying that a judge could lock limb up awaiting trial. >> it would be incremental punishment. >> the first thing donald trump has to do is go to jail. he is now facing jail time and a whole bunch of different places. >> laura: now, think about how strange and how sad it is to be a political analyst and what you are hoping for most is to take an opposition candidate off the campaign trail so no real debate, no real campaign, just to be silenced. if not put in actual prison, they ponder how to some him from doing more so-called damage to america. >> there's this question of how do you contain donald trump, perry. >> she could also revoke his bail and put him under house arrest. >> laura: house arrest. of course. even that's not good enough for these vipers. so the big thinkers over at salon described trump under house arrest and trump being deprived of his phone as somewhat unsatisfying. but it actually gets worse. amanda marcotte wrote it's better for everyone if trump actually loses freedom from these threatening antics. it's better for almost everyone for trump to be in prison, not be able to speak? certainly the 74 million who voted for trump in 2020 would beg to differ not that salon actually considers those 74 million people to be actual human beings entitled to their own views. and as usual, as part of their act, democrats always seize the opportunity to portray donald trump supporters as potential domestic terrorists. the country shouldn't be directed by them. it should be protected from them. >> we had increasing amount of security outside of the fulton county courthouse. >> >> the security concerns around the courthouse and what might happen in georgia as this case progresses. >> she has reached out to the sheriffs for protection. she has notified the judges to have them keep their staff at home. >> laura: what's really going on here? could this be the pretext to justify not just limits on trump's own speech, but 2024 limits on campaign rallies, campaigning at all or even in person voting? >> those poll workers in georgia who received -- were targets of such hate and terrible racism and threats of violence because they were unfairly maligned by trump. there's real concerns about elections this time around. >> violence is always looming on the hoards, especially in this moment. >> just half a percent or even a percent of that half of percent think that violence is the answer, they are going to go after these folks. this is very scary. >> laura: what is scary is that their entire reason for being, for living seems to be singularly focused on seeing trump humiliated. by the way these fanatics aren't just giddy because they want to see trump shamed in these trials and everything that will come with the trials, they also firmly believe that they are putting conservative populism on trial as well. now, we all know and i certainly know as a former criminal kevin's attorney that anything can happen when juries are involved. even in what are obviously politically motivated prosecutions. but, anyone predicting that the pig pile that we're seeing on trump, predicting that that's going to lead to the demise of the america first movement, well, that person himself will be humiliated down the road. and that's the angle. joining us now is stephen miller, former senior adviser to president trump and founder of america first legal. steven, given these proposed court dates, by jack smith and fani willis, does anyone really expect the american people to believe that this isn't a series of political hit jobs designed to interfere with the election next year? >> no. and not even trying to hide it, laura. let's be honest. as you played all the sound during your exemplary analysis they are giddy about it. they are gleeful. they are excited. their goal is to pull up trumpest poppism by root and branch from this country. as you said they will fail and they will fail spectacularly. they are going to causes a much damage human personal damage not just to hurt president trump but to hurt his allies, hurt his supporters, financially ruin and jail anyone that they can that's associated with him and inflict as much pain as possible that's their objective. it's openly political. it's open vendetta ultimately the american people will have to decide whether that's a system authoritarian ideology they want to support. >> laura: speaking of populism, steven, and what their real goal here is to go back to the old rockefeller style republicanism. the issue of his tore i can't bees weighing in. which we have seen a lot. the historians claiming that, well, if you don't defeat trump, if you don't jail trump, you're basically letting a combination of hitler, stalin, pal pot and every other dictator back into the white house. this is from walter isaac son. >> this combination of populism and yearning for the strong man, most of the time deceivers break. sometimes they don't. we have a couple examples where the fever didn't break and it led to wars. there has actually been a reduction in the sense that democracy is the core is what america is all about. >> laura: steven, last time i checked jail-timing your political opponent or trying to jail your political opponent is what we saw with what putin just did with navalny, extending his sentence by, what another 17 years a couple weeks ago? that's what putin and xi do. >> yes. at least, at least four regimes pretend that people they're jailing are guilty of spying. that they're agents of a foreign country. now, here in america, we are just imprisoning people for speech we don't like. we are imprisoning people for asking them to lobby a state legislature or to watch a particular tv program. that's where we have gotten to in this country. we are going to throw conservative lawyers in jail if we disagree with their faithfully argued legal theories. as i said, this is a truly authoritarian ideology that we are seeing from the left in america today, from the democratic party in america today. and i believe that they are laying out the template to criminalize speech and political dissent amongst every day americans. so, in other words, and you allude to this in your monologue, by describing president trump as an enemy of the state, the creating a foundation to treat his supporters as the same. to treat their speech as the same. it's not free speech, it's hate speech. and hate speech must be policed. and hate speech is dangerous. it's a threat to public order. and those who spread it must be punished. so i really think this is a dangerous moment, laura. >> laura: stephen, quickly, do you agree that there is a building movement out there on the left to push for some type of emergency, you know, order in various states given the threats because of these trials? i mean, i foresee that being used in all sorts of ways during this campaign. maybe all the way into the fall of 2024. >> oh, unquestionably. no, they have pierced that vale. the idea that free speech is sacred in america is dead now. there's now criminal speech in this country. they say that if they don't like your speech, that speech is violent that speech is dangerous. that speech is a threat to public safety. they laid out the template when they policed covid speech and now they are prosecuting president trump and his attorneys under that exact same theory so you're right, laura, that is what is coming next. >> laura: stephen, great to see you. thank you. now to the judge assigned to trump's georgia case, scott mcafee, he graduated from the university of georgia law school about 10 years ago and has been a judge for six whole months. but the most interesting thing about him is something that the "new york times" of all places pointed out. that he used to work for the d.a. who brought the case fani willis. joining us now is jonathan turley, professor of law at g.w. university and a fox news contributor. >> professor turley, look, the legal world is quite intertwined. all of us know someone who used to work for someone. but, given the importance of this case, is this -- is this a little too close for comfort if you are one of these 19 defendants? >> you know, i'm going to give this judge the benefit of the doubt. we'll have to see how he performs. he is young. he doesn't have a lot of experience. but he does, as a judge, he does have experience in the courtroom. you know, the key, laura, in my view, in these cases, is really the essence of the judge as opposed to the extent of their experience. what you really want someone -- from someone is that they are going to listen to both sides, to be fair to understand this is historical moment and what that moment calls for is to assure both sides of this deeply divided country that this is going to be a fair trial and it's always concerning with state judges that have to stand for election, you know, being viewed as in any way helpful to donald trump in atlanta is not a way to get reelected. it's going to take great deal of courage from this young judge to say i'm going to do this the right way. even if it's taken the wrong way by many people who will be voting in the judicial election. >> laura: ted we learned that fani willis wants to start this trial on march 4th. just one day after super tuesday. one day before super tuesday, excuse me. will this fairly expedite the schedule in terms of this type of litigation, will this run into problems? he. >> it is clearly going to run into problems. i'm speaking as a criminal defense attorney, that this schedule is really imrosly unfair. to donald trump i mean, what she is suggesting, 1 people. >> 19 people on trial. and this is going to be this massive production and she is going to do it in this rather short period of time. now, the defense has to go through what are effectively three grand juries. three years of investigation there is can 19 defendants that may have conflicts. there is going to be a flurry of motions. constitutional questions raised. on indictments but jamming together these trials. daisy chaining tm from super tuesday to vishted actually the inauguration if you count the civil cases as well. at some point judges are going to have to step in and be a mature voice and say, look, okay, stop it this guy has got to prepare a defense in multiple cases. you are not the first prosecutor to file. and get in line it not on the part of meadows but others working in a federal capacity that it all could be moved to federal court and especially given the duel track with jack smith, a lot of the same claims are covered albeit on a state level. >> it is possible because we are living in uncertain and interesting times which itself is a curse. you know, the -- there are issues here that president trump will raise some of these actions occurred when he was president. some of the conversations that are cited occurred in the oval office. some occurred with his associates. in some ways willis may have really tripped the wire here. you know, i called this sort of the jackson pollock school of prosecution. she threw everything against the canvas and looked to see if a picture emerged. said this is all one big conspiracy. every tweet, every speak that we site. well, by doing that she also tripped wires with regard to his time as president. and that has created this question of whether it could be removed. >> laura: jonathan, that's a big insult to jackson pull lock. but i appreciate you working him into your response. >> thank you, laura. >> laura: up next that, ongoing tragedy in

laura: you have to admit liberals do hyperbole really well. yesterday on cnn. they resurrected one of our favorite trump era refrains. >> do you see echos of watergate in this or is it bigger than that. >> it's much bigger than watergate, kaitlin, it's of a whole different dimension. it goes to the very foundation of democracy. >> laura: who thought cadavers could actually talk. well, that was john dean all right. trump's georgia indictment is worse than watergate. well, it's a tried and true trope, these lazy commentators have. especially ones dining out on watergate like 50 years later and they have within using it even before trump was in office in 2016. >> you want to talk about something bigger than watergate if it turns out that russian espionage in fact had been, you know, hacking into the dnc with an attempt to tip the election which by the way we know has actually been happening. that actually is bigger than watergate. >> laura: , the russia collusion hoax was the beginning of the watergate obsession. well, it continued from before trump was inaugurated all the way through his first year in office. >> i think this is actually bigger than watergate now. this could explode to being bigger than watergate. >> imagine if the watergate break in had been carried out with the support of the then soviet union and i think you get a scale. >> these are the nights when we need our experienced voices who can remember the rumblings of watergate and what that momentum felt like. >> laura: and then bob mueller happened. his appointment brought the watergate fantasy back into focus. >> i do think the mueller investigation could end up being bigger than watergate. >> it is far more complicated than watergate. it watergate was algebra, this is calculus. >> is this worse than watergate? it's a question you probably heard before. bob mueller is beginning to answer that tonight. >> i feel confident we're going to get it out. there's just no way -- this is bigger than watergate. we're just going to have to know. >> laura: but when mueller and russia gate fizzled, well, they had to find something new. alas, the trump phone call to zelenskyy, watergate. >> this is something very different. and this is worse than watergate. >> chris, it is worse than watergate in that what you described largely dealt with the cover-up. >> laura: trump was impeached for attempting to get to the bottom of the corruption we now know the bidens actually were engaged in. but that doesn't matter because then we had january 6th and the hearings that followed the following year. >> we have said this a lot in the last 30, 40 years, ari, but this literally is worse than watergate. >> i think what trump did in january and the run-up to january 6th was 100 times worse than anything richard nixon did. >> this is so much worse than watergate. this is a watershed moment for our democracy. >> laura: totally. but it wouldn't be watergate without dragging out the two key figures in the scandal. the gum shoe reporters who now get are issued poorly sourced books off their books poorly sourced and of course their cnn hits u of m. >> just ahead bob woodward and karl bernstein are here to talk to us today about very today's very big developments. is this bigger than watergate? i will ask them. >> no president has engaged in any -- including richard nixon, has engaged in anything like we heard today. >> the january 6th committee has written donald trump's political obituary. >> laura: really? >> laura: political obituary. their predictability is as pathetic as their lame talking point. as they keep searching for watergate. we will bring you the stories that matter. speaking of which joe biden finally announced he was going to visited fire ravaged maui after ignoring questions about it days ago while on vacation in delaware can. i want to quickly remind you about something. senator ted cruz flew to cancun during a winter storm that left much of his state without power or water. he quickly realized that was a mistake and he came back. but it was a day's long news cycle and he is still hearing about it. and biden's smifl of an unfolding tragedy in hawaii barely a blip for, of course, the trump-oobsessed media. here's what they are missing. >> there are now reports that the death toll will not just rise in maui but will tragically include scores of children who were kept home because power outages forced schools to close. tulsi gabbard congresswoman and fox news contributor. tulsi, you just got back from maui, please tell us what you saw there. this is so heart breaking for all americans to see. >> yeah, laura. it's difficult to put into words. this tragic loss that continues to grow that we're continuing to see and experience and feel every time there are more and more names and numbers of our friends and neighbors in lahaina who have per britished because of this wildfire now there are still over vast majority of that area of devastation that needs to be gone through by those that are conducting this recovery operation. but i also want to speak to the many, many families who live in the community surrounding lahaina just north of that historic town, who are continuing to struggle. many of them did not have power for days. they were told the water was contaminated. having to shower and bathe their children with bottled water. cut off from communication. the cell phone towers were down. they had no wifi or internet connectivity. these are people who stood up in the midst of this tragedy and did everything they could to help each other. the sad part is, we are eight days past this wildfire. and i'm in constant touch with these community members and leaders. they are still not seeing response from the county, the state, the federal government to be able to go out and help them. the community support hubs that they have are 100 percent community led, volunteer supply collections, conducting all these coordinations on their own. they feel like the government doesn't care about them. and that's a horrible, horrible disservice to people who have gone through a kind of loss that we can't even imagine. >> laura: i mean, we have a lot of commitments around the globe and we are not getting into politics here. but, you know, we do spend billions and billions of dollars and allocate it to other countries, issues, and problems. and this is when we realize you have to, you know, put your own oxygen mask on first before you can really help others. these people need help. they need help now. not, you know, a week from now. >> exactly right. when you think about, you know, there is a mom, a woman named andrea. she is a mom -- stay-at-home mom raising her kids. she has stepped up and spent every day and night trying to be a coordinator to get the supplies that volunteers are trying to bring in. and oftentimes having to circumvent blockades put in place by the county just to get those supplies to them to get them to where they need. not only are they not getting the support that they need, but oftentimes they have been getting blocked from being able to receive the support from their friends and neighbors. this is a crisis that is continuing on. it is not at all lost on the people of west maui when they are told that fema is going to give those impacted a one-time $700 payment. and as they look at the news, they are seeing tens of more millions of dollars being sent to ukraine. some of them said hey maybe if we change the name of maui to ukraine maybe they will pay attention to us. >> laura: tulsi, i know all the breaking news of the background of the chief emergency response coordinator didn't have a lot of experience in these types of situations. the sirens, apparently, weren't working as they should have for this type of fire event and all of this we will get to the bottom of. tulsi, thank you for your report. rats the size of a size 8 shoe. wait until you hear of the inif he station in new york. you will not believe where they are planning to house migrants next. >> laura: if you have never been to new york city you have definitely had a run from talk about snitches. i mean actual rodents. now, there are reportedly 2 million of them now in the city, not including master splinter. mayor eric adams hired a rat czar. over the weekend he helped run the first anti-day rat action. i kid you not. interactive rat map. we found like the san francisco poop map that they have it seems like what's the point of the map it's all over the place. >> we have had rats the size of crocks just running up and down the street like a crock shoe average size 8 running up and down the street. >> laura: talking about a rat race. i hope residents can get rid of them soon or at least get them down in shoe size. all right. first it was hotels, not for rent. then it was school gymnasiums. but they even talked about putting illegals up in your homes if you are a new york resident. and now, well, look, new york city's latest plan involves a former military base. according to the "new york post" dhs officials along with reps from city hall and hochul's office secretly toured fort wadsworth on staten island a few days ago to decide whether or not to turn it into a new migrant shelter. joining me now is vita, staten island burrow president. i havvito told the residents hos ago they did review numerous locations in the city but they have made no determinations yet on using fort wadsworth. your response. >> i think it's crazy that they are even considering it. we have on staten island migrants, asylum seekers, whatever their names are, started coming to new york city, there were those in midtown who were welcoming them with champagne cla class glasses poly is unsustainable. staten island did not cause this problem. the federal government did with open borders. why should the staten island families have to solve this problem? it's gotten worse. at that time we asked the city to run analysis of how much it would cost. at that time it was about 600 million. now they are talking about $12 billion. $12 billion to accommodate the migrants. and now they are looking at former active military installation fort wadsworth a national park. to add insult to injury. on the installation the park are many families who were attached to the coast guard. just a few months ago, we did an awareness campaign to help raise money and goods and diapers for the young military families who can't afford to feed their kids to put diapers on and now the government is turning around and saying we're going to spend another 20, 30, $50 million to possibly put these migrants on fort wadsworth. it's just out of control. the average annual fee to accommodate these migrants is now $140,000 for a family. $140,000. that's more than the average household. >> laura: you have got to be kidding. i have the toe, can you imagine if american families don't watc, don't know the truth on this, they don't know this is happening. $140,000 per family when american families are struggling? that's an insult. total insult. >> and i agree with you, laura. two things i would like to add. one is you think about you just talked about the four people in poorpeople in maui and our hearo out to them. we couldened spending the money and helping them get their lives back together. we are spending the money on people who came here a few days ago or weeks ago. before you put any of these families at fort wadsworth obring them right to the national mall in washington, d.c. build a tent city between congress and the white house. this way they can understand the problem they caused is now in our backyard. and it's just totally not fair, not right. and i think this world is right now upside down. we are bending over backwards to accommodate individuals who come here. many of whom came here illegally. we are not even talking about the thousands who want to come here legally and are waiting for years. it's just wrong on so many levels. >> laura: no. it's a complete scam. they should send them to wilmington and more to martha's vineyard and more to beverly hills. all the places where the liberals claim they want them. keep sending them there. vito, thank you so much. keep speaking out. now it's t time for our politicl pal palate cleanser. what made mma legend colby covington say this? >> he goes all day. she don't get tired, man. laura ingraham baddest woman alive. you heard it from colby covington. what was the context of that comment well, here is a hint. i did get a firsthand look of a what it zuck and musk's training. make sure you tune in tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. to see for yourselves. all right. the president has a mary poppins moment and why are some trying to cancel bradley cooper? raymond arroyo has it all seen and unseen is next. ♪ ♪ >> laura: time for seen and unseen segment. we expose the cultural stories of the day for that we turn fox news contributor raymond arroyo. i can't believe i'm actually saying this but i can't believe what biden said today. why am i surprised ? >> given the repeated indents of biden touching and sniffing and acting strangely around children it's hard to understand why he would ever open an event this way. >> i want to say one thing to your children. i know some really great ice cream places around town. [laughter] and daddy owes you. so talk to me afterwards. >> from the man who brought you rubbing leg hair in a pool, daddy owes you. that may be the most terrifying line i have heard in a year. easily. >> laura: nuzzling children. nuzzle dr. jill but stay away from the children. they have got to examine this more closely. this a awful. >> troubling. it's awfully difficult though to run for president when you can't keep track of reality. the other day biden repeated this story about the amtrak conductor who saluted him for traveling a million miles when he was vice president. small problem, the conductor was already dead when biden was vice president. then he told this whopper. >> there is more bridges in pittsburgh than any other city in america. i watched that bridge collapse. i got there and saw it collapse with over 200 feet off the ground going over a valley, it collapsed. thank god school was out. >> only he didn't see it collapse, laura. >> laura: what? >> we covered this. do you remember the day this happened? biden showed up hours later because he was in town for another event. since when does the president sit around staring at infrastructure waiting for it to crumble? i guess that's the story line here. >> laura: what? i mean, this is now just an addiction to lying that he has. he can't he does not know the difference between truth and fiction. >> not held accountable. if facts are slipping for the president now having mary poppins moment. resorting to creating his own language. >> when i signed the bipartisan infrastructure. they all voted against. >> sup.>> super cali fraction b. >> [garland] >> laura: what does he say? >> the same thing he said before. we are repeating it so you didn't miss it. but, look, it is kind of brilliant though, laura, if the public doesn't know what bill you are talking about, you don't have to explain it. what's amazing is other members of the administration apparently can't pronounce anything properly either. >> the president is certainly deeply concerned about -- about the people in maui. senator herino hot senator spoke to last night he thanked the president for the immediate support federal agencies having delivered for residents of ohio. so does -- so has senator starts -- shorts, shots. >> short sat sat. maze hirono is a woman not a he. and as for hareno how she. that's what people asked about biden's second vacation in a week, huh, reno? maybe that's explains. >> laura: maybe hirono was one of the more prominent people in that impeachment trial. so one would think was it impeachment or was it brett kavanaugh? it's all become one big long investigation. >> you are right. it all runs together. >> laura: all right. turning to pop culture, raymond, bradley cooper is kind of a big liberal but he finds himself now in the crosshairs for he is portraying leonard bernstein and what's happening? >> when the trailer dropped for cooper's new movie maestro it became clear the actor is wearing prosthetic nose so he looks more like bernstein "u.s.a. today" and the guardian are claiming cooper is part of, quote: hollywood's y jew's facd problem. it happens to be true that leonard bernstein had a nice big nose. bradley chose to use makeup to amplify the resemblance and we're perfectly fine with that they go on to say it was an act of respect and love. the portrayal here is certainly done with the full consultation of the family. your helen mirren ran into same problem. >> laura: was there any type of portrayal of barbra streisand? did they get upset about that? i don't remember if there was or not. you are playing someone and trying to look like them. i don't know why that's an insult. they are all pretty good looking people. >> actors routinely people that don't look like them or other races and creeds and that's called being an actor. so, but i guess the new rule is actors are not allowed to use makeup to historic figures. this is kosher. this now is kosher. we understand the rule. >> laura: yeah. so, lavigne can dress up, rachel lavigne but no one else can dress up. dress up and pretend -- i love the uniform. raymond, great to see you. sorry i stepped on the super calfracion biden. >> laura: outkick dan has the latest on that and more. stay there. ♪ we all know the story or at the very least we have seen the film, the blind side. it was based on the real-life story of michael or, a football prodigy who grew up in poverty and was awarded the state of tennessee before a wealthy family took him in. he went on to play at all miss. and then was a first round draft pick by the baltimore ravens. it was an amazing story. but or now says he was duped. he claims that he thought that the two wees adopted him but in february discovered they never did. instead plays to minott is is called conservatorship. one that still remains to this day. in legal filings he also says the two wes used it to strike a deal to pay them and their birth children millions of dollars in royalties from the blindside while he got nothing. the family says this amounts to nothing more than a shakedown. >> if he says he learned that in february, i find that hard to believe. i went back to my text and 2021 and if you give me this much that i won't go public. >> the attorney says that are mention the conservatorship and his 2011 book three times. and that are threaten to plan a negative news story about them unless they paid him $15 million. joining me now is dan dockage dakich host of outtakes. dan, this is sad. i am an adoptive mother of three children and i felt very sad when i read this story. i don't know what the truth is. he also does have a new book out. i feel there is a lot we perhaps don't know in the back story. >> laura, i agree with you. it's incredibly sad. the story was so great michael or was so successful. this wasn't a deal where a kid had a nice high school career. he became a first round pick and became a really good nfl player. but we all know there is always a back story to this. is this a shakedown? if he says he didn't know it was a conservatorship they mentioned it three times as you mentioned in 2011. the tree and nines are saying something interesting. they say they could not adopt michael or and go by the ncaa rules because michael was over 18. the ncaa rules at the time talk about something called a pre-existing relationship. the dad was a really good basketball player at ole miss, thus, they are considered donors. they could not lavish the things on michael that they were and allow mississippi to recruit him. so there is that. that is why they are saying they went into a conservatorship. you know what? i believe this is a shakedown. i believe that michael knew that because he said it three times in his book that he understood exactly what was happening here. i believe that this is going to end up being a sad, sad ending for everybody and i don't think michael and his case will get traction. this doesn't distract from it. this should be a relationship that was set in stone. this should be a loving relationship. apparently it's not. you know what else. let me tell you something. a couple of weird things. sandra bullock so give her oscar away because she didn't deserve it based on all this. the woman did a story. she was handed a script and she got an oscar. and frankly the second thing is the selling of a book. let's be honest. by now many people have forgotten who michael is. you bring this up and guess what? all publicity bad or good is publicity if you are trying to sell a book. i think this will be thrown out and it's just a sad chapter. >> one of the sons of the tuohys has spoken out. he essentially says that the family is willing to let him out of the conservatorship at any time at this point. >> one thing what is he going to say? he is an adult male and has his own thing. they should let him out. it would be interesting that the 2.5%. the tuohys said we got x amount of dollars. sums that it was $14,000 and other said it was $25,000. the 2.5% is the big number. this movie made a ton of money. we will see where it goes. michael wants his piece of the pie and we will check it out. >> great to see you tonight. that's at tonight. set your dvr so you always stay connected with us. we love it when you do. follow me on twitter and instagram. up next judge jeanine. it's the one year anniversary of the inflation reduction act and gas is still close to $4 a gallon. half the country is living paycheck to paycheck and everything at the supermarket is way too expensive. but president biden today stood in front of the country and said you are welcome. >> bidenomics is another way of saying restoring the american dream. >> do you think it's any easie
