what do you think, hans? >> it doesn't just push, it goes the rising death toll in maui? far outside the bounds of the law, and it's a clear violation of the first amendment not just with the first amendment's >> reporter: how does the protection of free speech. white house respond to critics who have suggested the president i mean, good grief, she's saying should not have been vacationing that public speeches given by at the beach over the weekend as trump and others, tweets and so the maui crisis became the worst forth are all overt actses, part wildfire in the country? of a criminal conspiracy. should the american people be seeing the president on the that is nutty. phone working the phones, but also she says that it's part talking to officials rather than seeing him on the beach? of a criminal conspiracy to in >> you all have gotten full reports on who the president has any way have spoken to state connected with. >> has president biden spoken officials, state election officials trying to persuade tony family members of wildfire them that there were problems victims or plans to in the with the outcome of the election. that's also protected by the future? first amendment which does he want to travel there eventually? specifically protects the right to petition the government for >> i would say i don't have anything to announce at this time. right now we just don't have redress of grievances. anything to share. i gotta tell ya, i've been a senator hirono, who i said the lawyer for almost four decades, president spoke to just last this is the most spurious night, he thanks the president for the immediate if support of indictment i've ever read, and i federal agencies. elizabeth: okay, senator hirono. say that not just as a former you point out she hasn't gone to justice department lawyer, but the toxic -- he hasn't gone to i'm actually licensed to practice law many georgia -- in the toxic rail disaster in east

a palestine, he's been to the georgia, and i was a county border only once after intense election official in fulton criticism. and you've got democrat leaders county. and nothing -- elizabeth: interesting. >> -- nothing that she describes in colorado, illinois, massachusetts, new york, texas, in this lawsuit is a violation of the law. d.c., they've just declared elizabeth: so what hans just states of emergency in response to his border crisis. said, it essentially criminalizes challenges to so where's empathy joe? elections, they're charging things like the president saying where's middle class joe, liz? >> yeah. publicly we need to have a well, i begin to wonder, liz recount when the constitution allows for that if they feel the are, whether his handlers and whether he himself are just worried about him making any election is tainted. sam, you've talked about how, public response to a question you know, the tate of hawaii had for fear that he's going to mess to give up its electoral college it up somehow. votes over to kennedy after a i really do. because, again, it's to easy court-ordered recount took them just to say our hearts go out to away from nixon in 1960. the people in maui, our hearts what trump did might have been go out to the people in east pal been constitutional ily unsound, stint. remember, that too -- in east but but the question is, is all palestine. that was a pretty awful that a crime? circumstance that he completely georgia's state law is very ignored. this is mysterious, and i circumscribed, and trump could wonder, i think it's high time hit a wall with according to state law. what do you think, sam? >> i mean, i think that, again, you're absolutely correct. that joe biden answer some questions, talk to the american if you look at what's been done people not just about sort of

pablum issues about to how great before, there were alternate slates of electors as you bidenomics is, not just a script pointed out are normal, and it is normal to have these to reporters. let's actually ask him some processes. you can contest an election tough questions, and maybe he'll have to answer them. elizabeth: let's listen to politically, it's not a judicial former president trump. watch this. >> i would like to express my proceeding. and i think a lot of people miss sympathy and warmest regards to that point. your only option isn't to go to the people of hawaii and court, i sue and see what specifically all of those who happens. you can contest it politically. have been so gravely and that's how a lot of elections irreparably hurt by the tragedy of the wildfires in maui. have been resolved, and if this the sad thing is it should never is a crime in georgia, then how have happened. is what stacey abrams did not a our government was not prepared. crooked joe biden, the most crime? again, i just don't understand incompetent president in the it. elizabeth: or what hillary history of our country, with a clinton did in trying to laugh and a smile said he had no challenge behind the scenes the comment on the beth -- on the 2016 results. hans, let's get your final word death and the tragedy. on governor -- candidate chris to say no comment is often times chris christie what he's saying fine, but to be smiling when you and legal expert jonathan say it especially against such a tragedy as this is absolutely turley. watch this. >> i think that this conflict is essentially covered by the horrible and unacceptable. federal indictment. elizabeth: final word, liz peek. it's been charge by jack smith you've got 10 is seconds. and most of the time what you'd >> well, it's just, again, like see here would be a state court

east palestine where donald deferring to a federal trump went there and was, you prosecution, especially if that know, visiting with the people federal indictment had already who had been so badly hurt by been issued. that train wreck. so i think this was unnecessary. this is what he does. as to donald trump. and, by the way, this is going >> it's excessive, and i think to hurt, i think, joe biden. it's also dangerous. elizabeth got it. we often, if not always, have liz peek, good to see you. we've got a major these challenges. some are more supported than controversy blowing up. retired nfl star michael oher, others. but they're not crimes. they're seeking judicial review. his story was featured in the she indicted everyone for oscar-winning hit movie "the everything she could think of. blind side," he now says in a it is sort of the jackson new lawsuit that his adoption was a lie. pollack school of prosecution. and we've got former reagan she threw it all against the economist art laffer, look at canvas. him, we can't wait to make him and i think she is hoping that some of these, these other laugh. hillary clinton criticizing co-defendants will flip. voters for their ignorance of elizabeth: okay. bidenomics when they live it final word, hans, since you are every day. art laffer next. an expert and have, you know, >> and in america you shouldn't practiced election law in fulton have to take an early county, georgia. distribution from your andy mccarthy says the danger zone is that states like georgia retirement account or sell blood have laws specifically tailored plasma in order to go to the to stop attempts to subvert grocery store the. from treasure the. state processes for tabulating ♪ ♪ and certifying votes. how does this come into play here in this indictment?

>> try to persuade state officials and others that an election was wrongfully decided and they are certifying the wrong electors is fully protected by the first amendment, it's not a violation of the law. and i think what this boils down to is a previously unknown local prosecutor who sees this case as a ticket to national prominence with her political party, and she's willing to do anything to get that. elizabeth: got it. sam dewey, hans von spakovsky, thanks for joining us. look who's here, former arkansas governor mike huckabee with his reaction. governor, it's good to see you. this fight over the fourth indictment, it's going to intense spy. trump's going to -- intensify. trump's going to hold a press conference on monday. what do you think? >> his real problem is the fact that in fulton county 75% of the people of that county voted against him. the likelihood he would ever get

a fair trial there is, like, none. so his best hope is in the appellate court filing motions to get the whole thing thrown out which should be. and i think your previous guests, who were both legal experts, pointed that out. let's look at the politics real quickly. the fact is, this is only going to help him because people know what's going on. this is a politically-charged indictment. it's election interference. she waited three years, now she wants to run with it right in the middle of an election. we're not that stupid. we see what's going on. and i think people are just rallying to donald trump. i know i will. elizabeth: trump's voters, we've spoken to them, say there's never been any prosecution in it's not just designed to look good... it's built to command attention. it's not just a comfortable interior... it's a quiet refuge. they're not just headlights... they light the way forward. the new fully electric audi q8 e-tron models... (psst psst) ahhhh... with flonase, allergies don't have to be scary spraying flonase daily gives you long-lasting, non-drowsy relief.

people sell their policies for testified for the georgia grand cash. even term policies. i jury, former lieutenant governor can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on jeff duncan, he's indicating how all this cash. if you own a much he dislikes trump. you're going to hear that and life insurance policy of watch hillary clinton's tape. $100,000 or more, you can sell watch this. >> you know, what donald trump all or part of it to coventry. did is most damage in georgia. even a term policy. for cash, he sucked the soul south -- out or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. someone needs to tell them, that they're of the republican party here. he sucked the morale and our sitting on a goldmine, and you winning percentage out of the have no idea! hey, guys! republican party. he's taken everything from us, you're sitting on a goldmine! and it is our turn to take it come on, guys! do you hear back, right? that? i don't hear anything it's our turn to win elections based on the policies we think anymore. find out if you're we're better on. >> the only satisfaction may be that the system is working, that sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the all of the efforts by donald number on your screen, or trump, his allies can and his visit coventrydirect.com. enablers to try to silence the truth, to try to undermine democracy have been brought into the light, and justice is being pursued. elizabeth: our turn, our turn to take it back. via the judicial system. and silencing the truth? no one's silencing the truth.

people know what happened from day one with the georgia case and what happened with the election. you know, the system is working. this is hillary clinton, a candidate who the inspector general for the justice department and special counsel durham found worked the system, her team worked the system, plowing that debunked anti-trump opposition research into the fbi to launch trump-russia or trump-alpha bank. >> yeah, you know, i listened to jeff duncan, he talks about wanting to take the party back. back to what? back to time when we were losing manufacturing jobs, we were sucking up to china and letting big global companies take all of our jobs and our resources away? no thank you. a lot of us liked the policies of donald trump, putting america first, standing up to europe, reinforcing nato, making us a much safer, stronger country. the fact is only donald trump and ronald reagan in my lifetime have kept us out of a shooting war. so i don't know what jeff duncan wants to take us back to. to be honest, i had to look him

up to figure out who the heck he elizabeth: joining us now, former reagan economist art was. that's how big a deal he is in laffer. okay, art, first up, let's get the republican party. your reaction to hillary donald trump has led us ably, he clinton. it's good to see you, my friend. will continue to, and i think a hillary clinton -- lot of people will say to jeff >> good to see you, liz. duncan and others like him if elizabeth: hillary clinton is now blaming americans for not you want the republican party back like it used to be, no knowing about bidenomics. thank you. watch that -- and you're going we don't want to go back to those days when we basically to see hillary clinton were no different than democrats inadvertently slam msnbc for and the leftists. only focusing on trump. elizabeth: got it. governor huckabee, thanks for watch this. >> look, i think it is true that joining us tonight. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: good to see you. we're staying on hillary a lot of people in our country clinton. don't even know what he's done, she's now criticizing voters' and part of that is they don't ignorance about bidenomics when get their news from msnbc, they they live it every day. and we have that cnn poll add to get their news from social media the growing list of polls, u.s. if they get any news at all. they don't have the kind of voters say the economy is getting worse. and still ahead, congressman tim information that would give them burchett, art laffer, outkick's confidence in knowing what their charlie arnold, gop strategist government is doing. ford o'connell and columnist liz you know, how long can you talk about infrastructure in it gets peek is going to take on president biden finally saying boring. let's change and talk about, you he will go to hawaii's wildfire know, donald trump or one of these other people who do disaster down the road. nothing but give us negative he's saying this only after he messages, because that is so was slammed for his katrina much more exciting.

says 50 million miss. we to don't know. but the issue is joe -- hunter was paying owe biden's expenses. that's the the allegation out of the text messages and the laptop e-mails. paying for biden's delaware homes, that he bought a cell phone for jrp, joseph rob net biden, paid for his say -- vacations, covering joe biden's taxes according to a former biden family business associate. we want to get your reaction to congressman greg steube, and watch senator ted cruz here. watch this. >> i i am in a room with hundreds of texans right now who want to see accountability, who want to see the rule of law, who are ticked off that the president of the united states there is now growing and overwhelming evidence that joe biden has made a business out of selling favors. hunter biden was the salesman and, let's be clear, it's not access, it's not the appearance of access. what the allegations from the whistle blow e orers, what the allegation in the fli fd-10 is

23 -- 1023 are that hunter biden sold official favors from daddy, from joe biden. that is bribery. >> you have real evidence of crimes. not just the financial evidence, but corroborating witness testimony. and if i just feel like it's our obligation as members of congress to stand up for america. when we see crimes being committed by the president and while he was vice president, i 100% think we need to do that because of the clear evidence to of the crimes that have been committed by joe biden and his family members. elizabeth: so how hard are the house republicans going to fight, congressman? we've got house oversight releasing that transcript from a former fbi agent and whistleblower that they say validates irs whistleblowers that fbi and doj officials did tip off the biden team, that irs investors are going to show up at hunter biden's home to interview him. how far, how much are the house republicans going to push here? >> they need to push it all the way to impeachment, liz, it's obvious.

first day we're back in september, we need to start that process, and we need to do a thorough -- i think the invest's been done. chairman comer 's done a great job, but the american public's tired of it, liz. they're ready for it, let's do this and get on with it. elizabeth: okay. congressman burchett, we'll stay on the story. >> thank you, ma'am. elizabeth: this major controversy, we're going to break it down, retired nfl star michael to her, he's depict in the oscar-winning movie "the blind side," he says in a new lawsuit his adoption was a lie. plus,sing gop strategist ford o'connell coming up, politicians now scrambling. the alleged crypto crook, sam bankman-fried, charged with donating stolen funds to politicians in the midterms. let's get to our buddies dagen and sean, they've got a hot hour on "the bottom line." sean: we have speaker of the house kevin mccarthy, we're going to talk about the weaponization of the government. we also have will cain, "fox & friends" weekend host, in maui.

elizabeth: las vegas let's welcome to the show gop strategist ford o'connell. okay, ford, this ftx fraud, one of the worst in u.s. history. sam bankman-fried, he's hit with seven new charges. he's charged with using -- 100 million in stolen money from investors to donate mostly to democrats during the midterms. this is a lot of ftx baggage here for these politicians. >> there absolutely is, and if it were not for the biden foreign bribery allegations and the trump indictment, this would be the top political story of the day. he used $100 million in stolen customer funds ahead of the 2022 election to give away political donations mostly to democrats. there needs to be a lot of questions being asked on capitol hill right now. elizabeth: yeah. but, you know, the biden white house is silent on this because president biden took in ftx money, right? if i mean, more than $2 billion is still missing after ftx collapsed. again, to your point, bankman-fried was biden's second

biggest donor. >> that's exactly right. he was a very large donor to democrats, and because of that there are not a lot of questions being asked on capitol hill. how did he get around our federal election laws? how did he use straw donors in i mean, there's a lot of things going on here because there's a lot of -- something makes me think that sam bankman-fried may not be the only person doing this who's influencing our elections because we do know folks like george soros and others have given more money in politics. where. elizabeth: yeah. and this is invest or money that was stolen. we're talking $1996 -- 196 members of congress took direct contributions from either sam bankman-fried or other ftx executives. ford, that's more than 1 in 3 of the representatives and senators in the u.s. congress. i mean, we know that ftx managers, bankruptcy managers are lawing back the -- clawing back the moneyful they've got a million creditors. you don't hear a lot about who's giving the money back. >> that's exactly right, you don't, because a lot -- if folks

knew about this, liz, they'd be embarrassed, and they'd have a lot to answer for back in the united states house and senate. and also remember, liz, he used some of this money to, how shall is i say, schmooze regulators. he wound up buying a bank. this is unbelievable, the lack of oversight and how willing politicians in washington were, particularly democrats, to take his money with no questions asked. elizabeth: let's move on to this. what did you think think of the fourth indictment of former president trump? he says he's going to battle back with a press conference on monday detailing allegations of vote fraud this georgia. this thing's heating up. >> it's heating up, but i don't see anything really different a than what we saw in the third indictment out of jack smith. this is a situation in fulton county where you have a d.a. who's insulated in democratic politics, and she can bring indictments at will. i think people need to wake up to the fact that if you have somebody you don't like in politics, a district attorney in a small county can wind up

indicting the president of the united states because of partisan differences. republicans need to wake up to the power of these district attorneys and particularly how soros-funded candidates and other democrats have been running roughshod across district attorneys across this country. elizabeth: all right. ford, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: we have outkick host, charlie arnold. it's a major controversy, retired nfl star michael oher depicted in the movie "the blind side," he says in a new lawsuit that his adoption is a lie, but the couple, they're now firing back. the story next. ♪ i can see clearly now, the rain is gone. way ♪ itching. ooooh, let me put a reminder on my phone. on the top of the pile! oh. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> woman: why did we choose safelite?

elizabeth: well, look who's here, outkick host charlie arnold. it's good to see you, charlie. this new controversy, what do you make of it? retired nfl star michael oher, he's the subject of that hit oscar-winning movie "the blind" about his adoption out of grinding poverty by a wealthy white family. he says the couple that took him into their home as a high school student never adopted him, they just wanted to make money off of him. they strongly deny that. what do you say, or charlie? >> gosh, i mean, there's so many details that i feel like we don't know yet the that it's hard to really determine who's in the right and who's in the wrong here. it's kind of like a he said-she

said type of conundrum. but if it is true, it's actually very sad because i think everyone here is probably at least a little bit aware of what happened with britney spears and her conservatorship. the only difference here is that if michael oher is telling the truth, he was under conserve forship this whole time and had no idea with. he was under the understanding that he was adopt by these parent if9. i hope that it's not true, but there is a few things that that need to be figured out. one is that if the too byes did, in fact, make money off of michael to her or and his name, image and likeness, that the money that they benefited there this went in the best interest withs of michael to her. none of that has been determined. something else i find very interesting about this whole case is that michael oher signed four different contracts between the years 2009 and 2019, so a 101-year span. and -- 10-year span. if you are the ward of a con serve to haveship, you can't sign your own contracts. you can't buy your own cars or

house. so the question is, did he sign his own contracts with the nfl? because if he did, then something's a little bit off here. finally -- and not to say that i'm more in line with the, the uohys -- tuohys, there's just a lot that needs to be figured out. perhaps michael oher recently demanded $5 is million from his -- $15 million from his adoptive the parents and said if they didn't pay up, he was going to leak a negative if story about them k and now we have this conservatorship -- so i don't really like it, it's kind of crazy. elizabeth: such a nasty story it's turning ugly. he's saying less than three months after he turned 18, the tieu byes tricked him into signing this document making them his conservators, gave them the legal authority to make business deals in his name. but they're saying, no the, before he filed this petition in tennessee in court, he demanded

$15 million. so it's just -- we don't know the money at stake, and you're right about his multiple teams in the football league. >> yeah. and the other thing is, is that because he was the age that he sign this conservatorship, it wouldn't have been something where he necessarily would have been adopted. he was already 18 years old. they're saying that we did everything in his best interests. this was more for the sake of being able to sign him to our health insurance and things of that nature that they thought was in his best interest when bringing him into their family. but, you know, an adoption wasn't necessarily the best route to take in that situation. so i don't know right now, there's just so many things that need to be figured out. but, you know, it was such a love arely movie, and i think we all kind of fell in love with the characters and what it symbolized and, you know, the steadfast love that this family experienced for this -- they didn't even call him an adopted child in the movie. never in the movie was it a laid out that it was an adoption.

so it's just, it's very interesting that all of this is coming out right now. elizabeth: yeah. we'll be tracking it. i mean, it's sad that it's about money. it comes down to that. charly -- >> it usually is, right? elizabeth: good to see you. i am elizabeth mac don. thank you so much for watching "the evening edit" on fox business. we'll continue to fight to get the details for you, get to the bottom of all these stories in the coming weeks ahead. now it's time for dagen and sean at "the bottom line." great show coming up. dagen: thank you, everything-mac. elizabeth: sure. good to see you. ♪ dagen: good evening, i'm dagen mcdowell. of. sean: and i'm sean duffy, welcome to "the bottom line." another day, another indictment, a georgia grand jury handing down the fourth indictment against president donald trump. dagen:ra
