didn't rope a calf, dummy. rachel: one more, one more -- pete: now you're just humiliating me. [laughter] rachel: well, it is national day of the cowboy with. how long did it take you to learn to do that? >> about six months because i was already riding. joey: she learned it in six months, i learned it in two minutes. oh! pete: is so close. rachel: carol anne, thank you -- ♪ ♪ neil: fox on top of the 2024 race are really heating up right now as more legal troubles for the front-runners seem to be coming down. for one donald j. trump, an indictment on the january 6th probe could drop any minute and for joe biden, new allegations about his son hunter and what he knew or didn't know lingering over his campaign, seemingly every day. maybe that is why one in three voters say they are, indeed, open to a third party candidate in 2024. we're all over it with former

deputy assistant attorney general john ewe on how this could be -- john yu and how this shakes out at the ballot box. his numbers are picking up. all of that and new revelations in the gilgo beach probe that could lead investigators to more killing in more states. what suffolk county, new york, sheriff is doing now to make sure his suspect stays, as he says, intact and is brought to justice. welcome, everybody, i'm neil cavuto. the candidates on all this legal pressure back ask and forth, we go to lucas tomlinson who has more in washington. >> reporter: good morning, neil. many are wondering how the former president can get to all his rallies and court dates. some say it was president biden on trial this week, neil, when two irs whistleblowers testified that both joe biden and his son hunter each received $5 million in order to get ukraine's top

prosecutor fired when biden was vice president. of course, the president's son was on the board of that energy company that the prosecutor was investigating. now, this is all according to a new fbi document made public by iowa senator chuck grassley, a document one of the irs whistleblowers says he's never seen. >> i have never seen that document before. so i had never seen that 10 # 23. and the reason why that 1023 might have been important is that can further validate some other evidence that we are trying to prove in the case. and that's why all information is necessary for especially the lead irs case agent of to have. >> reporter: now, recall it was former president donald trump impeached over his calls for ukraine's president to investigate the bidens over this same matter. now, republican lawmakers want to return the favor. house oversight committee chairman jim comer saying, quote, i don't think it's any scent where i would vote on impeachment, and congressman andy biggs saying you can i move into an impeachment inquiry, and

that gives congress more teeth to actually give more investigators for subpoena power. you mentioned the former president's legal troubles, neil, donald trump is facing, as you mentioned, a potential third indictment, up precedented in u.s. history. trump respond being on truth social is, quote, deranged jack smith, that's the special prosecutor, of course, with joe biden's doj sent a letter again, it was sunday night, stating that i am a target of a january 6th grand jury investigation and giving me a very short four days to report to the grand jury which almost always means an arrest and indictment. now, trump faces a may 20th, 2024, trial date in that classified documents case, and hunter biden will make his first court date appearance in wilmington on wednesday for those two misdemeanor tax charges and that felony gun charge. a lot of court dates. neil: i can't keep up with it. we need a big old spread sheet. thank you very much, lucas tomlinson. want to go to john yu right now,

by the way, outsandinging author. -- outstanding author. the one i just it shoulded is politically incorrect guide to the supreme court. participants of it -- parts of it are laugh out loud funny. john, very good to the see to you. one of the things you point out here, you know, this notion that politicians can come and go, but in the meantime, it's the courts that are a back with drop for all of this -- backdrop for all of this. the counts, meantime -- courts, meantime, are going to be very involved with what happens with donald j. trump, potentially involved with joe biden regarding hunter biden. that seems less likely. but i did want to get your thoughts on the timeline for some of these investigations or at least trials. the may 24 trial scheduled for donald trump on the classified documents thing, that's smack dab in the middle of the primaries. by then, ostensibly he could be the nominee of the republican party. he could have a -- acquired

enough delegates to be the nominee, which is one of the reasons why his people are saying push thing back, back, back. is that likely many. >> neil, actually the, i think you've put it exactly right, that the way the trials are going, the way the investigations are going, they're almost designed to land on the doorsteps of the courts, almost design to make it right to the jury's doorstep at the same time as we're in the nominating conventions, as we're approaching the november elections. and it's actually -- i hadn't actually thought about it until you mentioned it, i should have put a chapter on this in this book of mine, but this is just another example of how the courts have become so dominant in our lives and particularly the supreme court. because here we are having an election, something that the founders thought would be up to politics, and yet even in this area that's the least legal of all we're going to have the supreme court involved. and that's because here jack smith, the special counsel, is really pushing the raw.

the law. he's bringing unprecedent canned types of charges against donald trump. so i could see a trial starting around the time of the conventions, around the time of the elections, but there's no way it's going to end in time, by the time people have to pick a president because president trump's going to have years of appeals challenging the special come's attempt to prosecute him. neil: which brings me to my next question, should he get elected president -- i'm getting way ahead of my skis here, i understand that -- and this is still going on, the supreme court would invariably be involve is here, right? -- involved here, right in. >> i think that's right. now, one of the things that hasn't happened in our history before but is a possibility is suppose president trump wins. he would then become the chief law enforcement officer for the whole federal government under the constitution. conceivably, he could order prosecutors to drop the case against him. he could say withdraw the case, withdraw the charges. and he could win -- he could essentially just win.

or he could actually say as president i'm just going to suspend all the prosecutions against me until after i've president. but winning the -- i'm president. but winning the presidency gives him unparalleled control over the justice department and the fbi. he could use that to his advantage. neil: i do want to get into some of the biden stuff, but one hinge to wrap up the donald j. trump stuff is, you know, this formal indictment that could, you know, be coming any day now on january 6th. it could be preseed by yet another one -- preceded by yet another one concerning the president's role in the georgia recount election, and that one has a lot of more ominous possibilities for donald trump. but they are back up like planes at that guard ya. i'm just wondering -- laguardia. i'm just wondering how it is possible for the president, the former president, to push them all off million after the election? [laughter] >> sometimes when i fly in and out of new york city, i'm not sure there's air traffic controllers at work. i've been diverted out of new york to washington, philadelphia

the -- [laughter] haven't been able to land a few times. you know what? there's no air traffic controller here. all these cases are running separately. it's a great point you're making, neil. no one's in charge of scheduling them so that they make sense. and so you have prosecutors rushing, i would say here the special counsel maybe rushed in a little early to bring his charges because he was worried about all the other cases going on in georgia, new york city, maybe other places too. and so the problem is that it's going to be up to the judges in each individual criminal trial like the one we've seen just recently this week many florida scheduling the classified information trial for may. they're not responsible to each other. they all have their own schedules, their own agendas. there's no one in charge of the overall schedule. that's actually really bad for president trump because it's going to interfear, as you pointed out, with his campaign schedule and the nation's schedule for electing a president next november. neil: now, flipping to joe biden and, of course, some of the allegations made by these

whistleblowers on capitol hill that they are pushing for a potential prosecutor to look into -- special prosecutor. i don't think how likely that is. it's operation ignore outside of fox what's going on there, but i'm just wondering where it would be in the president's interest that he assign, you know, a prosecutor to look into this or at least have merrick garland do it as attorney general. it doesn't seem likely, so where because that -- where does that go? >> this whole mess is in part biden's doing. this is the perfect example of when you would have a special counsel, when the justice department and the fbi have have a conflict of. and here they do -- conflict of interest. and here they do because they're investigating the president's son, his family and maybe, ultimately, joe biden himself. it's that kind of conflict of interest that led to the creation of these special counsel rules back in the nixon days, back during watergate. now, if president biden won't appoint a potential counsel, and i agree with you, neil, he seems

stubborn and opposed to it even it would be his best friend to do it. donald -- in a way trump's best move in his own investigation was to have robert mueller be the special counsel, because when mueller cleared him, no one could claim that trump had influenced mueller. biden should do the same thing. if he doesn't, then more and more pressure is going to fall on the leadership of the fbi and the justice department as we start to hear more and more stories from whistleblowers that they seem to have slowed town the investigation and maybe interfered in it. neil: all right, we'll see what happens. john, a great book. you put in focus there the fact that, you know, a lot of politicians, marley presidents that we focus on -- particularly presidents that we focus on, they have terms and they come and they go, but these guys with those robe, they have a way of sticking around for a long, long time. look forward to talking more to you about that. have a great weekend. >> you too, neil. neil: i want to go to doug

burgum, 2024 gop presidential candidate. doesn't get immersed in a lot of this stuff, hasn't got involved in the woke stuff, hasn't really talked much about trump or bind or their investigations. an -- biden. an interesting article in the "wall street journal" saying his preference is to focus on issues that matter. governor, it's the always good to have you. one of the things i noticed reading the journal today, sir, is you say -- i think you were referring to woke topics at timt topics, but we're running a race to get the federal government focused on the stuff that matters. are you saying that these matters concerning donald trump and his legal back and forth and this president's legal issues, that they don't matter, you don't want to focus on those? you don't want the talk about those? >> well, i think -- neil, great to be with you. i do want to say before the top of the hour they were giving roping lessons on your channel, and when we were a 10-person software company, we were giving

roping lessons in our booth, and today's the day of the cowboy. so we're calling in from montana. we were at the professional bull riding event last night, best of america. great stuff. and when you're with people like that last night, they're not focused on the whole industry around the pun didly -- punditry about indictments, etc. they're focused on the things that matter to them, and they're concerned about the economy and inflation, and they're concerned about u.s. energy policy, and they all know they're paying too much for gas when they're filling up their cars and their tractors. and they're also concerned about national security and starting with the border but also what's going on with china and russia. so we, when we're out talking to people across america, we know that these are the issues that matter to them, and voting's going to start in january. there's a lot of twists and turns between now and then, but we want to be there, when the voting starts in the primaries to know that we understand what americans are rah really concerned about. neil: well,ing you seem to be making traction, and a lot of

people don't know you. you're the north dakota government, you created a software company from scratch, sold it to microsoft, and now you seem to be resonating in polls at least in new hampshire where you're at 6%, i believe tied with chris christie. you're at the 40,000-donor thing, so that would qualify you for the big debate next month, but you're still not nationally at this 1% in the poll thing. so do you think you're going to be able to make that debate? >> no, absolutely we're going to be at that debate. you know, like i said, we've been at this six weeks. we still have got a lot of people that are getting to know us. if they want to know more, go to doug burgum.com, but the thing we like, of course, when you're starting from the spot where you have low name recognition but high favorability, the more people get to know us -- neil: that is definitely resonating, and we're showing national polls, but it's definitely resonating in new

hampshire. not yet in iowa. that could change. but your selling point is that you don't want to get in a lot of these kind of emotional issues. you're talking about the economy, you're talking about energy, you're talking about the kind of stuff that's very important, but can it help you register in the polls in you're being a serious candidate here, but a lot of these issues depending on the point of view, they're not serious issues that are coming up. >> well, i think the thing to understand, neil, is that we're very passionate about the issues we're talking about, and it turns out that voters, you know, the ones that are concerned about these issues, the economy, energy, national security, these are core issues to them. and this is, again, it affects every american. neil: all right. >> we know that our economy is crawling when it should be sprinting. we know that red tape is choking small businesses. and these are things that affect them. and they want someone who's going to fight for them and their issues. some of the stuff that's happening with the courts, of course there's a concern in voters across the country that we may have a two-tiered system

of justice, of course there is. but then they've got to get up tomorrow, they've got to make payroll, put food on the table, they're got to get crop harvested so, you know, what we're talking to them about really matters to them. neil: it does appear to be resonating, and you are a serious candidate. doug burgum, governor of north dakota, very impressive track record. we'll follow him. we are also following the heat wave gripping the country right now for a good deal of it, about 100 million plus americans are going of to have to continue dealing with it after this. >> i get in the pool, and it feels like a bathtub. at nighttime it doesn't cool down. >> it really just needs to monsoon. the urban heat effect is alive and well. that's why, we've we pull our favorite looks together in-store and in in the app. so it is easy to get the look you want for less. you got this. we got you. this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments.

so, no, the weekend continues with plenty of heat. this is the air temperature, 96 in new orleans, 99 # 3 -- 93, oral. houston at 100 degrees. you factor in the humidity, the heat index values are 100-110. you take a shower, you step outside, you're thinking, why did i bother? it is so thick, the air out here, and it's a concern. let's take it back to the desert southwest. unbelievable. phoenix extremes. they've had 38 degree -- 38 days, rather, where the temperatures have been 100 degrees or better. 121 days with no rain, and this is mop soon. they should be getting -- monsoon. when you look at the average for a place like phoenix, so far for the month of july the average is 102 degrees, that's high and the low, right? the mean, it's never been above 100. it looks like we're on track to be above 100 for that average temperature for the month of july. here's why, phoenix at 115 today, yuma at 112.

las cruces, new mexico, 102. all the pink is where the numbers are 105-# 15, las vegas at 113, denver at 97. even in california not only the central valley, but close to the valleys of l.a., san fernando valley, the inland empire, l.a. basin at 85. away from the water, you're dealing with triple digits. in fact, when we look long range, now we're looking at the 727th through the 31st, meal, the only place likely to be average or cooler than the average is the pacific northwest. the heat's going to expand to the north and the east in the week ahead. neil: i should thank you, but i don't -- >> i know.

neil: all right, everyone is trying to pack onto planes to get to their favorite destination. there was an innocent the other night -- incident for the better part of 33 hours, passengers in new york had to wait and wait and wait to get a flight to hawaii. i don't know if they ever took off. i know they got $12 vouchers for the pain and and suffering. anyway, i digress. this is getting to be more common than uncommon. grady trimble is on top of it and when congress can do anything to fix.

grady. >> reporter: the faa reauthorization comes up every five years in congress, but there's an extra sense of urgency from lawmakers this time around because of those mass flight delays and cancellations that have been plaguing the airline industry for the better part of a year and a half to two years now. the the derepublicans and -- republicans and democrats in the house worked together this week to pass a bipartisan bill. it includes provisions to better provide refunds to passengers caught up in flight problems, high more air traffic controllers and raise the pilot retirement age from 65 to 67. republicans say the bill tackles problems the transportation secretary should have done more to fix. >> we believe our faa bill will be able to solve some of these things that he has refused to solve as we look forward and look to the pooch to make a air travel safer. >> reporter: transportation secretary pete buttigieg is defending his track record. fliers are better off now

compared to a year ago, he claims, thanks in part to new rules on reimbursements and refunds when airline ares delay and cancel flights. buttigieg says the d.o.t. will beat up, his words, airlines that aren't taking care of passengers. >> we're continuing to work to make sure that airlines live up to their obligations which we will enforce to take care of passengers when this there is manager that the airline's responsible for. and if it's a situation like weather, we understand that airlines don't control the weather, but they still need to meet basic standards of taking care of customers. >> reporter: if you're expecting the faa reauthorization bill to solve all of these travel problems immediately, unfortunately, you're probably not going to notice improvements right away. that is because the bill is still hung up in the senate. both chambers have until the end of september to come together on this piece of legislation. neil? neil: thank you, grady. grady trimble as reagan national

airport. emily rowland joins us now. what is the fallout on the economy? for the time being, we don't see it, but with these growing strikes and worker outages, you to do have to wonder whether we're going to feel that. >> yeah, frankly, neil, you know, these strikes are not coming at a great time for the u.s. worker given where we are in the economic cycle. we just saw a once in a lifetime increase in wage growth as a result of pandemic era stimulus and inflation. inflation is awesome for corporate america, especially for companies that were able to pass on higher prices that resulted in extraordinary revenue growth which enabled companies really to increase wages to an extent that we haven't seen in decades. the challenge now though is that we're looking at disinflation in the pipeline. that's hurting corporate revenues. it's slowing top-line growth. and if you're a business owner who wants to maintain the same level of profitability as top-line growth is slow, you've without to cut costs. what's the biggest cost that

most companies have? labor. so we're starting to see some cracks form in the jobs market given these dynamics, layoff announcements are up, initial claims are jumping a bit here, job openings are slowing, and we think eventually that shows up in a higher unemployment rate which ultimately tips the u.s. economy into recession. neil: you know, emily, if it's a worry though for the markets, it has a funny way of showing it, right? [laughter] i don't want to overfocus on the dow which has been up ten days in a row, what do you make of that and what the market's doing, climbing this the wall of worry? >> yeah, there's been an incredible momentum-driven rally, and sentiments has really helped drive it higher. you think about the s&p 500 and that 20% return that we've seen so far this year, 19% of it's from multiple expansion. so what that means is that earnings growth has essentially gone nowhere, and it's just p in the pe ratio that has caused stock prices to move higher. what's happening right now is

investors are basically fighting the fed and winning. we're seeing this remarkable environment which the fed's raised rates by, you know, 525 the basis points, probably 550 after the fed meeting next week, and meanwhile, you know, normally what we would see is recession happening in that environment, but stocks and the economy have been remarkably resilient. neil: you know what's interesting too, emily, not to get into the politics of all of this, but when i talk to white house administration officials including jared bernstein, council of economic advisers, he was saying the trend is their friend. the inflation numbers have been going down for 12 the straight months, job growth continues, and they think that by election day they're going to be in pretty good shape because the economy's going to be in very good shape. do you guys looking at the same data agree with that? >> yeah, it's been amazing, neil. we've been on this merry go round, you know, ride of versus

no landing, soft landing, hard landing, and now we're back to no land arer -- landing somehow we're going to avoid a recession. and by the way, no landing's not, like, a thing -- [laughter] because with we would never have economic cycles if there the weren't a landing. we do expect recession unfolds here. we do think it's because of the lag impact of fed tightening. fed policy takes 12-18 months for changes in monetary policy to filter through to the economy. remember just 15 months ago interest rates were 0. neil: that's true. >> so so we still need to absorb all the changes in the pipeline. it can take time to get there. for now everything's okay, there's a celebration because every morning you wake up and there's a new whiff of disinflation in the air, and that's great right now. but there's a lot of celebrating for that going on but with we don't think it ends well. neil: all right. i hope you're wrong on that count, emily. thank you very much for taking the time on a saturday.

>> my main focus now aside from from the investigation is to make sure that each and every

day mr. heuermann is still intact in a way that we got him so that he can be brought to justice in the courts and not in our jails. neil: all right. and that what -- what that sheriff is saying, and we'll be talking to him, is keeping the allege murderer, rex sureman, intact means that he doesn't kill himself -- rex heuermann. they're really trying to keep him safe in jail so that this cases can continue to be adjudicated. let's get the very latest on where where it stands right now, nate foy is massapequa. nate. >> reporter: neil, here at the family's home, investigators remain focused on carefully collecting evidence, but at the riverhead correctional facility in suffolk county, the sheriff's main concern is keeping rex heuermann alive, and that's because the suspected serial killer is on suicide watch. so we know that heuermann is wearing a special suit that prevents him from hurting himself. there are no sheets in his cell,

he has no contact with other innates and so far -- inmates and so far has not had visitors other than his attorney. the suffolk county attorney tells fox they're using extra personnel and extra cameras to make sure they don't miss anything, and they shut down all inmate movement whenever heuermann moves within the facility. heuermann's wife of 27 years filed for for divorce on wednesday. her lawyer tells fox the family is going through a devastating time, and they wish for privacy. the home the family lived in for years is being torn apart by investigators as a source familiar with the investigation tells fox, investigators do, in fact, believe that heuermann murdered at least one of his victims here. suffolk county district attorney ray tyny pushes back on that conclusion saying the location of the murders is not specified. d.a. tierney also says investigators here at the family's home will not be rushed, they'll continue going through it inch by inch. suffolk county police tell us

they're expected to be here through this weekend. back to you, neil. neil: thank you for that, nate foy. with us now is the suffolk if county sheriff. of sheriff, thank you for taking the time. >> thank you for having me on, good morning. neil: good good morning to you. sheriff, we're learning right now that this investigation still in its early stages is expanding, obviously, beyond massapequa. we're told states like south carolina, las vegas where we're told as well that rex heuermanned had a condo. can you share any of that with us? >> well, you know, anywhere where mr. heuermann had any contact or even if he had any residents, we want to make sure that there's -- less edenss, we want the make sure -- residences, we want to make sure there's no evidence at any of those locations. it's a multijurisdictional effort right how to really gather all the evidence to see if he's involved in any other crimes or if we can connect him to the crimes that he's are

already been brought to court for and arrested. finish. neil: what to make as well, sheriff, of these new reports that he might have murdered one or more of his victims in his own home, that a lot of these murders occurred while his wife and kids were away, that he would have had free rein to do just that if he was inclined. can you tell us anything about that? >> you know, i don't know of any, any evidence that can relate to that stating that a crime was committed inside the home of as -- as of now. we do know that when his family was away is when he committed these crimes. but the fact that any of these crimes were committed in his home, i do not is have any in evidence nor have is i spoken to any members on the task force that do. neil: he reportedly would choke his victims, not shoot or stab them. in that event, it would be very hard to look for evidence in the home. but i know there are reports as well that he collected

tremendous mys of his victims. trophies. either jewelry or something that would wrong to them -- belong to them. what are you finding? >> well, you know, that's pretty typical with a serial killer. we have not identified anything like that yet, and i think there's so much evidence that it's really going to take some time to really parse through every single thing to say that this is this was a trophy or this wasn't. there are, you know, things still have to be forensically tested to insure or even see if those things, you know, are any types of trophies, you know, when it's a piece of jewelry, whether it's a piece of clothing, whether it's a picture, you know? all those things will have to be looked at by the investigators. neil: sheriff, as well we know right now he is charged so far in the deaths of three women, melling saw -- melissa, megan waterman and amber lynn

costello, but there are # 11 known or still unsolved mysteries in all. could be more. do you suspect that he would be tie the those additional individuals and perhaps others? >> oh, i think all of the evidence that we're gathering, you know, we executed search warrants not only on his home, but the storage containers, will allow us to look and see if he is or should be considered a prime suspect in any of those other murders. neil: so when you look at that, does that include these other areas, atlantic city had been mentioned, that there's some unsolved murders in that neck of the woods that might have been attributed to others but might go to him? >> you know, any commonality the with these crimes that we can see, you know, missing persons, any unsolve murders, you know, we can definitely look at him to see if he was in those areas, if we can look at him as a prime suspect or not. and also with the evidence

that's being gathered to see if there's anything between the evidence, his location and those particular crimes. neil: now, i don't want to tie two events that might not have anything to do with the over, and and you've -- the other, and you've warned reporters not to do that, but i do know over the last couple of years he has been known to hire a number of women to do odd chores for him. of i don't know whether this was at the time his wife was in town or not. he had an office in new york city. but he tended the favor what were considered petite women, not much bigger than 5 feet tall, if that, and that their tasks would be menial like move this car, do this, do that. anything you can hair on that? share on that? >> clearly, he seems like he's, his personality is one that he wants to dominate. he's an extremely, extremely large man not only in height, but also in weight, and i can see just from the few visits

that i've had with him that he could be not only an imposing or intimidating figure to women, in he had clearly a lucrative business in manhattan where he can use that authority not only his size, but his financial power to influence people to do what he wanted. neil: you know, sir, you mentioned the need to keep him intact. you obviously don't want to see him harm himself. is there anything that you've noticed in his behavior that would headache you think he -- make you think he would try to commit suicide? >> you know, nothiing you know, his case is very common with any individuals of any notoriety case coming in to our facilities where our mental health staff would then put him or her op on a suicide watch. you know, our mental health staff's evaluating him, and as your broadcast had mentioned earlier, you know, we have taken extra precautions not only because of him harming himself, but also another inmate who may

want to have some street credibility by saying they did something the him like we've seen other notable inmates throughout the country or a sex worker, a john, a pimp, you know, anyone. so that's why we've taken these extra measures to make sure he's safe and brought to justice in the courts. neil: do you think heed acted alone? >> as of right now, yes. neil: okay. sheriff, thank you for taking the time. the stuff folk county sheriff -- suffolk county sheriff are, he is on top of this case and a very cerebral fellow, thoughtful. we're on top of that, also on top of artificial intelligence right now being all the rage. big, big powwow at the white house where a number of the key players are voluntarily offering not to let it get too out of hand, but what does that mean? after this. the grocery store and the gas station alone are taking a big chunk out of our paychecks. fortunately, you've earned the valuable va home

which would identify which product would make a video or audio so consumers will not be fool. the companies agreed to exterrible testing by an expert in the specific fields where a.i.'s being used with the results being made public, also increasing investment in cybersecurity. prioritizing research on risk to society by a.i. specifically when it comes to bias and discrimination, this is the president. listen. >> we must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats i merging, from emerging technologies that can pose, don't have to, but can possess to our democrat and -- democracy and our values. americans have seen how advanced artificial intelligence and the pace of innovation have the power to disrupt jobs and industries. >> reporter: the government will roll out its own guidelines and restrictions for artificial intelligence but no time tame has been given for when that -- timetable has been given. the president sees this as an important priority. neil? neil: edward, thank you very much. edward lawrence at the white house. meanwhile, barbie versus the

thoal neil all right. well, the battle is on, brother, between barbie and oppenheimer, and it's barbie out the gate with 70.5 million in sales versus open oppenheimer with 30. that's the opening day return. a lot of theaters are combining them together. amc, for a lot of its most loyal customers, offering twofers. you go to both shows, you'll get a discount. a lot of them saying if you dress up, you'll get a free ticket. ashley dvorkin, fox entertainment reporter extraordinaire, she knows this inside and out. ashley, those numbers that i

just told you from opening day sales, what do you make of them? >> well, good morning, neil. yes. well, what i make of them is that it is going to be a huge weekend at the box office especially for barbie. preview numbers had barbie at 22.3 million and now estimates are 150 million opening weekend at the box office for barbie which will be in the number one spot. and oppenheimer, 75 million which is good as well. collectively, this is going to be a big weekend. as far as the, you know, box office but also for movely-goers to getted into this. barbara:enheimer, i saw barbie first and then oppenheimer which is three hours long. there's so much to credit for this including the incredible barbie marketing. neil: yeah, i see it everywhere. you know, the folks behind oppenheimer, all the stars, the director and and all, they didn't mind the tie-in. anything, i guess, that could help the sales, right in.

>> exactly. i think it can only help. i think that, first of all, don't underestimate something that goes, that's trending on social media, and that absolutely helps. as soon as people came up with barbenheimer, people started to make the decision we're going to see both filmings. the national association of theater owners earlier this week said 200,000 people had already bought tickets to both showings, same-day showings, so it's incredible. listen, it's a christopher nolan epic, historical biopic. people are going to want to go see that regardless, but this just makes a whole day out of it, and i think it helps sales for both films. neil: well, you were right about that. you were talking about that. ashley, i always remember the late robert oppenheimer would think about this because he was a very serious, measured guy, a genius. who is this barbie? i have no idea. would there be any misgivings from that camp to say, wait a minute, this is too campy? >> i think that it brings

attention to the story regardless. i think that -- and people know when you are buying tickets, my en, look in -- i mean, look in advance, these are very different movies. if you're going to see barbie or oppenheimer, you're going to have two very different movie-going experiences, but it'll bring attention to both. neil: sooner quick, the actors -- super quick, the actors and writer' strike is going on, it didn't alter the release of these movies, but it could for future movies, right? what's going on there? >> yes. these two were two of the the last major movies where you had the full cast out doing all the interviews for it. i do think that after this it's going to be keep an eye on what happens to the movies going forward. the release schedule hasn't been affected as much so yet, but what is in production and what was going into production and those will be affected. neil: got it. ashley, and i love the pink, by the way.
