>> it was intense. it was quick. >> 80-100 mile-per-hour winds in this area. >> the water in front of my house is still about knee-deep. i cannot leave with my garage, my car at all. >> moments after the storm they thought it would be 24, 48 hour recovery. now we are learning there's transmission lines down so it will be days if not weeks. [ ♪♪ ] >> fox on top of deadly storms bearing down on texas still. houston schools close. folks being told to stay home today is debris and power lines literal the streets. windows from skyscrapers were just blown out. more than 700,000 still knocked out. and we got to deal with the trail of destruction from the hurricane-force winds just setting them. welcome everybody. neil cavuto.

fox weather katie byrne in houston on very latest. sometimes it would circa war seen there. >> reporter: absolutely wild seeing how the downtown has been impact. after serving the damage the national weather service confirms 100 mile-per-hour street line wind gusts are what caused the damage you're seeing. when you look at what crews or zameer to hear, trying to board up windows as fast as they can. these are blown out windows and downtown office buildings and hotels because we got on and off rain that keeps coming down on us so the cleanup effort is really rushed to get this done to protect whatever's inside. no tragically from pickton people were killed in the storm 1 of the victims was inside of a truck when a crane came crashing down from strong winds last night. it also took a massive transmission lines. hundreds of thousands of people still without power and they are preparing for it to be out for weeks. we have cooling centres opening for people without a.

>> reporter: find relief in the texas heat. this all happened around dinnertime so people were heading to concerts may be even waiting for the at-home astros game to start. talked with several visitors in town for conferences staying at hotels around the block from the worst damage in the downtown area. they tell me they took cover in closets and bathtubs were shared stairwells with strangers. after seeing all of this they feel lucky to be alive. >> i just feel very lucky because they were buildings 1 block over that were pretty well damaged, and i saw floors. i was on the fifth floor. i saw windows knocked down about the same level. so i thought i just feel very lucky. >> weather is gone to play a huge role in the recovery efforts. as we have been outside today we had gusts of wind that have taken down glass and brought them crashing down to the ground. some of the workers in these buildings are wondering when it's good to be safe for them to

head back to the office. >> thank you for that. be safe yourself katie byrne in the middle of all of that. fights across the country been affected by this. 4,000 facing outright delays and/or cancellations and it might not end anytime soon. tariq khan that at the fox weather centre. spent such an incredible storm and texas is had so much rain of the last number of weeks. the last number of months of the ground is really saturated flies really easily right now. see all of these storm reports across much of east tactic. winds over 80 miles an hour in some spots and ureters hearing from katie winds over 100 miles an hour reported because of that. still 670,000 utility customers without power and it's getting really warm across much of texas over the next few days. take a look at this daytime highs in the nineties. it will be really humid. if you don't have any air-conditioning it will be a problem for you. we've had so much rain. this is the amount of rain since we've been into may about 17 days. some spots here over 15 inches

and that's why all the rivers and streams are in some sort of a flood stage but some of these in major flood stage so any more rain we problematic. we do have ranges to the southeast of town today. is that most of this will remain on that side and once this is done things will improve quite a bit for us for at least about the next say 5 tetro 6 days. heaviest of the rain now moved further off towards the east. we do have flood concerns across much of the louisiana and much of the deep south towards the panhandle of florida. going to be watching for that rain. a few other little bull's-eyes of flooding by the way up around confluence of the mississippi and ohio rivers up and across parts of virginia but really the bull's-eye across the south. mostly to the south off interstate 10 is where the heaviest of the rain will hold. 1 last thing a little bit more severe weather to get through today jack may be strong winds inhale and tomorrow especially in the afternoon. you're watching for this across parts of the coastal carolinas

possibly there may be an isolated tornado certainly really strong winds and a little bit of hail. so still rough weekend ahead for so many but we are at least going to dry out for a few days across parts of texas. >> got it. thank you very much. will be monitoring my weekend show 10:00 am tomorrow will be up to speed on all the new certainly in texas and the south whereas rick indicated there could be some problems. we are monitoring. meanwhile no problems at the corner overall and broad the very, very lasting second of trading the dow did move over 40,000 settling at around 40,003.59 with a gain of about 140, 134 points. this is but a five-week waiting streak. a lot of this the fact that people are optimistic will have a soft landing that the growth is slowing to the degree that fed had wiggle room to cut rates whether that happens is anyone's guess but the fact that the matter is the trend has been the market trend. earnings coming in better than a lot of companies forecasting improving economic news as well.

bottom line in case your accounting in the last 4 years the dow has essentially doubled from 20,000 to about 40,000. and again since 2022 we have come storming back to put on the extra 10,000 points. a lot of that backdrop again is an improving corporate structure, inflation problem eased up. and again optimism that rates could condemn. there's wrinkles here. we will go into that this weekend. but for now all optimistic on the stock front. in the meantime to some legal storms brewing right now. of course donald trump and the fixer, big develop and so with michael cohen who returns to the stand to be cross-examined and we don't know what happens after that. we do know it could be and probably will be appointment watching. state supreme court in new york. nathan. >> when court resumes

9:30 monday morning michael cohen will again be under cross-examination. comes lawyers anticipate finishing that cross by the morning break after that. the das office will have another opportunity to question cohen. after cohen process testimony trump's team plans to call brad smith expert and campaign finance law to the stand. the judge will allow limited testimony from him. trump's team is also considering other witnesses. we just heard from attorney bob castillo in the story. he cave cohen legal advice and 2018. castello said if he's called to testify he thanks will happen tuesday or wednesday. decision was not made on whether or not trump will testify himself. there's no court today because of this. trump posted about his sun bear and untrue social writing going to barron's high school graduation. great student wonderful boy. very exciting. dj t. cohen's testimony will extend to a second week. his prosecutor's star witness and the only 1 directly linking trump to reimbursement scheme to

influence the 2016 election. on the stand cohen edmonton to line for congress in 2017 and 2 special counsel prosecutors the next year. he claims he told trump the stormy daniels deal was done on trump's bodyguard's phone but text messages from that time so cohen actually wanted to talk about harassing phone calls he received. you can bet prosecutors will try to address some of the doubts raised during cohen's cross-examination on redirect. but long story short this trial is nearing its end. prone is a prosecution's final witness and the judge told lawyers to be ready for closing arguments on tuesday. a lot of bulls up in the air after cohen leaves the stand with what from steam or do a closing argument could happen on tuesday. will send back to you. >> incredible. rapidfire. thank you for that. legal eagle's joining me. get this wrapped up by tuesday. doable what you think?

>> pretty ambitious on the judge's part. as possible but it strikes me as doubtful. we have a lot to do. the trump team has to finish cross-examination of cohen. the prosecutors will then take a shot at trying to rehabilitate cohen on redirect examination. the trump team may have more questions for cohen and then of course trump defence team gets to put on in some case. after the jury instruction closing arguments is still a lot of stuff to closing this thing out on tuesday strikes me may be is a little ambitious. >> is the judge when he does stuff like this putting pressure on them to wrap it up? >> is trying to telegraph how much time they think they'll need. i think tuesday's totally unrealistic altogether and we have to remember before the defence puts on any case they're going to likely move for directed verdict once a prosecution rests. if they have not put on evidence to establish the element of these are fences which i personally do not think they have at this point. >> what does that mean then?

readily likely to see? tuesday's unrealistic, obviously prosecution might have some of the plans. we don't even know right now if the defence has other plans. special witnesses, what do you think? >> they'll be able to get to closing argument sometime next week but defence is not indicated who if anybody they intend to call as a witness and we don't know how long those examinations are going to go on for so it's very hypothetical at this point. but i would say by end a week they should be able to get to closing arguments. that's not to say anything or jury instructions because i think will be quite a big debate about the instructions of this case does go to the jury. >> if it goes to the jury that's come more times than i would think and i have been watching coverage and other channels just to get a what they were setting. more than a couple of times i have heard that raised on these other channels and part of the criticism about the prosecution that it might not go to the jury. what do you think?

>> my guess is this judge probably is going to send the case to the jury picker not saying that's legally correct result. i think there are some judges who tell the prosecutors you haven't proven your case. i'm not sending it to the jury. this case with this judge and the rulings he's issued my guess is he's gone to send it to the jury. make no mistake the prosecutors had a very bad day yesterday and. michael cohen got caught in what appears to have been another lie his testimony has been crippling in multiple respects and the prosecutors have a big big uphill battle ahead of them monday when they finally get a chance to question cohen again. they'll try to rehabilitate him. try to clean him up clean up the testimony but i don't know. maybe 2 to late in the minds of the jury. >> you don't know what jurors are thinking and to this point i am told from those who have covered in but watching this that the jurors were most riveted by stormy daniels. i guess that showed between too much of a surprise. but they were not exactly falling suturing michael cohen's

testimony. they were a little border seemed to listless many heard from financial types accountants and all of that. again i don't know what to read to that. you're prosecuting a case like that what does that tell you? anything? >> i don't like to read into juries either and show the testimony was definitely salacious but when it comes to actually following the judge's instructions about what they need to find i think the jury will determine much of what both of these witnesses said never really mattered it all when it comes to the elements of those are fences. and that's why going back to the directed verdict issue i think there is a missing element in terms of the far side of records the prosecution is not portable witness such as forensic accountant of some sort to say it was improper to classify those as legal expenses. that's a very simple fact of the matter. in my opinion that's failure of proof and the prosecution's case

>> are you looking at the jurors' faces tom? >> i have been trying to get a read on what the jurors thank in my sense is i think they were riveted by portions of this trial but it was salacious stuff as katie said they were interested in the stormy daniels stuff and all that back and forth but they haven't heard much to be totally honest about the actual charges in this case concerning falsification of business records. and i think there's a good chance when the jury gets in the jury room to deliberate and render a verdict they'll be looking around the table and confused saying hey did we ever hear any evidence on the charges the da is asking us to convict on? >> thank you both very much. katie and tom. and meantime we are learning hunter biden this isn't just donald trump pushing for delay in a major trial. maybe because at the same time his father is going to be debating. the former president of united states after this. when enamel is gone, you cannot get it back.

>> the judge in hunter biden's tax case on hunter biden's request at least delay this trial until september. if not further back than that that. lucas tomlinson has more. >> that's right. hunter biden's attorneys asked the judge overseeing his tax case in california to delay it until some timber. this calvin mckay sorry faces 3 felony charges and 6

misdemeanours in connection with his alleged failure to pay is taxes is set to begin june 20th. there's 2 trials hunter faces, a gun charge in delaware goes to trial june 3rd. earlier this week hunter lost his attempt to delay it. expect hunter's name to come up in the first presidential debate between joe biden and former president donald trump on june 27. recall back in the last 2020 debate the accusations against hunter were largely dismissed. someone hunter adjudicated in the court of public opinion. kimberly strasser writing in her wall street journal column today says quote the nation was largely denied information about the biden family business in 2020. thanks to compliant chris hart the central source of social media participle cabal of former intelligence officials. here's joe biden and donald trump in the 2020 debate. >> there 50 former national intelligence folks. they said to what this he's accusing me of his a russian plan. 5 former heads of the cia both

parties say what he is saying is a bunch of garbage. >> i want to stand the issue of race. you have to be kidding me speak last month the judge ruled for the eighth time against hunter biden in his attempt to toss out those in california. >> lucas tomlinson all of that. so trial isn't delayed for hunter biden it would be going on when his dad and donald trump are facing off in the first presidential debate. so these legal cases whether 1 that presumably might be wrapped up for donald trump now or this with hunter biden that will be going on then, going to be a big issue for voters. doug shown on that. what do you think? >> i don't think so. some polling we've done has shown the trump trial has had no impact on the polls. i don't think hunter biden at this point is going to be an issue for joe biden. however, salacious the issues in

his case may be. and i frankly think the voters are pretty locked into their views which now have trump with a narrow but clear lead particularly in the swing states. so i think politically these trials are not going to make the difference many in the media thank they might. >> neil: just how many undecided voters are there? it's a pretty stark choice. it's not much blurb between the 2 of these guys. so i most surprised, haven't made up my mind don't know, but what are you hearing? >> you have a point. there's not a lot of people in the middle of the road here. and to your point i do agree on this, on the fact these legal woes will not have any impact. so far people have legal legal fatigue. i think they are exhausted from hearing in any kind of legal problems that are going on.

let's face it, we are getting into the stretch of the summer so a lot of people are going to be taking vacations, focused on backyard barbecues and different things that families like to do. so following the details of legal issues on both sides of the aisle i think will kind of fade away and i look for fundraising to pick up on both sides on this. so i think both sides will kind of use this to elevate fundraising. >> we are going to touch on this later in the show but i want to bounce that a few guys because i respect your opinion but we talk about a lot of groups that have wandered away from the president, not that psyched over him. and then there's the issue whether they move over to donald trump but just as damaging an issue for him that they don't voted all. >> it is. but we saw in 2020 the turnout with both sides having aggressive get out the vote efforts democrats more

sophisticated and larger than republicans. but republicans will get there. i don't think the issue is people not voting. i think the real question for the undecided other people who don't like trump and biden and have not yet made a choice. i think at this point they are breaking for trump largely because they think he was a better president than joe biden notwithstanding the doubts about trump personally. but some to be very close and the election will almost certainly go down to a few states and a few hundred thousand or perhaps million votes but not much more. >> what do you make of the impact of, you know, robert f kennedy junior, not invited to the debates. we don't know how that will course out in time. we do know that he is managing to get a more state ballots. and he does pull pretty well 11% in some states. up to around 20%. so you could make an argument that at the very least you could

be a destructor. what do you think? >> you've got a point. it will enable you to not vote. that way you're going to vote for someone at least you have a choice. is the people that are never trump that 1 over vote for trump but they are also knock on to vote for joe biden. just out of default. so it happens this year is we've got a choice. the question is do you want your vote really not to count? because there's no way canada can get to victory so are you going to stand in line and out and take time out of your day to do something that you know is actually not going to give you any sort of a result? save got to come to terms with that. now however, i do see that he's polling 11%. that's a big chunk. at what point are some of those people the 11% going to peel off

and actually make their choice is the time narrows on and we get closer and closer to the election? i do look for kennedy to lose some of that momentum because after all don't you want your vote to count? >> that's the argument. >> you are a great historian on polls and i'm try to think another consensus will be tight race. i'm old enough to know even know i don't look at where in 1980 the polls were fairly close. a couple of weeks out from the election between jimmy carter and ronald reagan. they got wider closer to the election a week before. they had the debate late in that season. and then it was a blowout. it became huge blowout. do you see any potential like that in this race? >> i don't. i think partisan attitudes are far more locked-in now.

we have seen some movement in the polls this year but ultimately you can make the case which is i think a fair 1 the polling is reflective very closely the results from 2020. trump is a little behind. the kennedy vote is a wild-card. he's taking positions that are more republican oriented and but with a name like robert f kennedy junior the polling is also showing he's marginally hurting biden more than he is trump. i don't really see this race moving more than a couple of points either way. >> neil: maybe him celista covering the markets. whatever the consensus is generally wrong. so when i see the same applying to politics i think the market nerd and he says sometimes you are wise to bet against consensus but what do i know? you are the expert but i'm very good municipal bonds.

great having both of you. have a wonderful weekend. we told you about the dow spreading over 40,000 right now. it's been an incredible run for which donald trump takes credit because he says this whole excitement building for him returned to the white house but joe biden says this is happening right now. who is right? t is the same. you need dirt with the right kind of nutrients. look at this new organic soil from miracle-gro. everybody should have it. it worked great for us. this is as good as gold in any garden. if people only knew that it really is about the dirt. you're a dirt nerd. huge dirt nerd. i'm proud of it!

president this year including the 1 in the oval office and the 1 back in the oval office at least 1 was prominently taking about on this and says it's about him. take a look. >> the only reason stalk it goes up is the meeting. based on the fact that i'm leading the stock market is up. and if i didn't win you would have a crash like 1929. >> that's scary. joe biden is taking about for this online and elsewhere. i wanted to get the lead from above. cofounder of path trading partners. who gets the credit for this if either? >> neither. that was a little bit of a stretch by former president donald trump although i will say when president biden took office there is not a lot given to the fact he didn't remove chinese tariffs i didn't completely

reverse most of the regulations i got reversed but some he did not reverse. so i guess president trump could take a little credit for some things he did when he was in office. >> what's driving? help me figure out what's driving all of this year. it's keeping politics out. normally as you've told me and the pass the changes the closer we get to an election potentially but what's driving this run? >> van share powell and what the fed is going to do with rates. they raise rates to try and fight off inflation. they got about halfway there. they are nowhere near done. i've mentioned this before. i don't think they should cut rates but they are going to. so you're moving back into easy money. the prior rally before he started cutting rates to fight inflation was recovering from a pandemic. a record closure of companies forced by the government. so that was nothing to be proud of. that was just recovering what we had lost. now you look at the extra highs we are getting to now. lots of presidents have presided over new all-time highs.

president obama cap president trump. president biden is doing it now. even george bush presided over 1 new all-time high tech s&p closed over 1500 for the first time when he was in office. the president gets too much credit and too much blame from the general public. the president that's an office now if anything has slowed the advance of the stock market. not helped. >> neil: it's interesting when you look at the presidents who is in office when markets do their thing. there's always variables, who controls congress, what was going on. the backdrop george w. bush who had the famous meltdown in the final years of presidency that distorted the presidency. i would like to take this from election day to where we are roughly now. 45% run up under this president if we can look into the former president applying the same standards. you can see 34% run up from him. remember covid in the final year did well but the biggest records of all under presidents go to bill clinton first.

then barack obama after that. so it does fly in the face of conventional wisdom that it's dominated by republicans or democrats. it's not quite that easy. what drives markets, the presidents who do the least, presidents who at least tried to stay out of the way? is there a rule of thumb? >> the president contributes 1 key thing to economic growth or the operative opposite of economic slowdowns that's relations. common sense is what drives markets from the executive branch. the rest of it the president cannot cut taxes unilaterally. he needs congress. the president cannot unilaterally make economic treaties. all they can do is increase regulations, cut regulations will leave them the same. the reason i give president trump a little bit of credit is the longest economic all market, stock market in history was

march 29 to march 2020. if you excludes that the average bull market runs 5 years. president trump entered office with the bull market having gone about 8 years. and again coming off of a crisis so section of that is a little bit artificial. president trump remove regulations and the bull market continued extending to the record a bull market that we talk about now. that's only reason i would give him any credit because that's the only effective president can have on the stock market through earnings is the reduction of corporate regulations. >> neil: it is an achievement to take what was a very strong bull market and keep it going as long as he did before covid. it's fascinating to watch. as his listening to you. thank you very much. have a good safe weekend. >> good to see you. >> neil: in the meantime the president not only talking about improving economy says it is showing evidence in the markets but he's tried to rally the base around him. sometimes has a devil of a time during that. peter dacey on who he's going

>> neil: it happened back in 1968. democratic voters simply switched off. they did not vote. the nominee at the time hubert humphrey, someone for george wallace but the passion among democratic race was not what was and richard nixon assumed oval office. it was a backdrop of protestant a lot more. some people are saying similar to the environment we have today. should that worry president biden? let's go to to the manchester, national politics reported. very different periods i grant you but what do you think. >> different periods and a lot

of democrats i have spoken to are brushing off some concerns we have heard from other democrats and also critics. they sale, once voters see this choice of biden versus trump set in stone on the debate stage in june or after the conventions in july and august, that the voters will, essentially, democratic voters will essentially realize, you know, staying home could play into trump's hands and we don't want to play into trump's hands. i just got a text message from the biden campaign in terms of fundraising tech fundraising text message sent out to reporters and donors and what have you. the text message was essentially reminding voters asking them to remember what it was like the day donald trump got elected in 2016, asking them to harken back to that period and essentially saying do you want that again? okay then vote for biden. so i think you will see more of the messaging going into november. >> neil: we mentioned george wallace 1960.

he had 48 electoral votes and captured a lot of states in the south. he was to put it mildly a powerful third-party candidate. some people say the same applies to rfk junior. he's not polling that way yet but could he? >> we know nicole shanahan for example pouring quite a bit of money for her own personal wealth into this. that will definitely help sneak that's his running mate. absolutely. so that's going to help boost his name id. as of now he's not going to be on the debate stage but if you were to qualify for 1 of these debates and be on the debate stage that would absolutely be a huge boost. and you're continuing to see this coverage of rfk whether it's about things like brain worm from last week or fundraising tech him getting on the ballot. voters are learning about him. i think is going to win the presidency? probably not but it's very obvious that both trump and biden are concerned about him.

they don't want him on that debate stage because we don't know if this point who he will pull from. >> neil: they say in retrospect both sides senior and bill clinton. i don't know if that's true. a lot of people i respect to come in the show yourself included, get your take on consensus. it will be a tight race. i'm old enough to remember people saying that about 1980 and jimmy carter and ronald reagan going at it and it was anything but a tight race. i know a thing or 2 about the markets where consensus falls apart because something else enters in the equation. i don't know if it would be a tidal wave that goes 1 way or not. but i was thinking of donald trump and last week getting 100,000 in the bluest of blue states to watch him at a rally. i know that's republican county and all that. having said all of that he does seem to be resonating in a way that might surprise folks be

under close election. are you seeing anything like that? >> there's 2 indicators this week. first you saw 100,000 people turning out of new jersey and then he saw the new york times college pull out of number very important battleground states. those would seem to be raising alarm bells for democrats but on the flipside we have to remember we are roughly a little less than 6 months out from election day. a lot can happen between now and then. and also there's been criticism of the methodology in the times siena college poll. there's a little back and forth on that. but i think it's enough to get democrats to realize they cannot take their eye on the ball. this has to be error-free going into the end of the election. >> neil: we will watch closely as always. in the meantime inflating inflation numbers. my chat with the top white house advisor going viral with a reaction. it is your turn to weigh in.

>> we have dramatically lowered inflation from 9%. in a situation where we are better situated than when i came in office. people have a right to be concerned. i think inflation has gone slightly up. it was at 9% when i came in and

it is now down around 3%. >> neil: it was never ever ever 9% when you came into office so why does he keep saying that? >> well, first of all, let me point out in that very quote you played, the president talked about how concerned he was for -- >> neil: that's not what i asked do you. why does he keep misrepresenting this? >> he is making the point that the factors that caused inflation to climb to 9% were in place when he took office. so the annual growth in core inflation in the second quarter of '21 was, in fact, about 9%, and his point about inflation down 60% off its peak is very much the case. >> neil: no it wasn't. it was not at that. you are almost as bad as he is. we got exasperating, and apparently for a lot of you at home on both sides of this. my interview with the top white house economic advisor jared bernstein going viral.

bruce in connecticut writes "thank you, thank you, thank you for holding his feet to the fire. you are the best." i like it when people say nice things beard linda "he couldn't wait to get back to his office, he really wanted out of that interview." to be fair to mr. bernstein, he stuck around a while so there is that. charles: "i have been prickly in the past but this interview was correct, you did not let him change the subject and go to his talking points." thank you. "love when you tell politicians they are lying, go get them." "are these guys infected with michael cohen's disease or what? my god, don't they realize people on both sides would respect their position if they would only admit that certain obvious political falsehoods." it would seem easy, especially when they are quite provable. "during your interview today, jared bernstein inferred all is good since people salaries are increasing at offsetting inflation. of course that is not the case, but no matter what, char can't be the case for retired people.

i guess struggling retirees don't matter to biden." "the factors put in place on day one of biden's presidency, couple that with the covid mandates and the poor response to the supply chain issues, would have been nice if you would have pressed him on that in real time." once again, this thing went on for a long, long time. i thought we covered that. "normally i and up turning your show-off, but finally you didn't seem like such a democrat." i see what you did there. "more of that, please." "i'm taking the day off from hating cavuto." and on x, "you know it is bad when even cavuto has to put down the doughnut and slam biden." really, a doughnut? "still will never watch "that's so cavuto." look at that thing again. and posted on x" and i cannot stand that cannoli-eating

monster cavuto but he nailed it on this one." "i'm impressed with the way you stuck to your guns and would not let him sidestep the questions of biden inheriting an inflation rate of 9%" beer i hope adele was listening. i know she is a fan of the show. i know that is a little aggressive and i did not mean for it to get that nasty, a lot of you were offended by that, some had some choice adjectives to describe how i was behaving with the fact of the matter is, i tried to fact-check where i can on every one, it is not a rt thing or a left thing, trying to be fair and balanced on all sides and make sure they get the basic facts right, and this is inarguable, my friends. i want to stress this again. inflation was not 9% when joseph biden assumed the white house. on jamie 20th, 2021. it was -- you can argue, it was

on you and his administration, but the facts are the facts. this wasn't pro biden anymore than it was pro trump or anti-trump, it was pro facts. we are all about getting the facts right. which is something that i think adele would appreciate. by the way, you can catch more of that interview with jared bernstein tomorrow on "cavuto live." we are going to dig into this big issue of how you get economic facts across. in the meantime, as adele would say, hello, and goodbye, and here comes "the five." ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> judge jeanine: hello,
