we'll see what that looks like in court tomorrow, michael. >> i'm sure we will, kaylee.e court allows her to hire a new attorney? >> this would be a game changer. think about it this way, the conservatorship basically says that britney spears can't make decisions for herself. put aside financial decisions. she can't even decide who she associates with, when she goes places, medical care for herself. if the court were to determine that she can hire her own lawyer, that's a big statement right there from the court saying, wait a sec, this court thinks that she can make certain very important decisions. >> yeah, big statement, big step right there. what's the first thing you expect a lawyer to do if he is approved? >> well, if he is approved, i think he's going to try to end the conservatorship. that's what britney spears says she wants, says she didn't know she could do and, again, if the court says, you can hire your own lawyer, i would expect that there's a very good chance that the court would then end the conservatorship as well, because it's saying you can make these

jonathan: the only thing we know so far this morning is lisa is not going to greece and kaylee is not to greece. that's what we know. tom: that's all we know. lisa: but they are on the same flight -- jonathan: but there on the same flight. you will not ask which airline. >> lisa and i will have a great time at the airport bar later on tonight, but forget about commercial flight, let's talk about spaceflights. richard branson is going up in space on july 11, nine days before jeff bezos. he's beating him to the punch. as a result, space ticker shares are up by 28% in early hours. lisa and i are allowed to go degrees because we are vaccinated americans. it's not necessarily the reverse. johnson & johnson saying there vaccine protects you against the delta variant. that stock is higher today. others are not having success with their vaccine. i want to point to gene editing, a really nice boost on wednesday. today, fractionally higher, up about .4%. it has also been a busy week for ipo's. i wanted to check on how some of the newly public and listed stocks are doing. one of them is pop-cult

kaylee hartung has the story. >> reporter: hey, george. is trickling out one court filing at a time since then. now this latest reveal from jamie spears is about the backlash this family is facing. overnight britney spears' father, jamie spears speaking out in new court filings saying he and other family members received death threats since her testimony last month. his filing coming after jodi montgomery requested over $50,000 a month for 24/7 security saying since the hearing she received messages that threaten violence and even death. jamie spears opposing the in part because other family members have received death threats including britney's younger sister jamie lynn spears and that is not an expense that the conservatorship estate can sustain for multiple individuals for an extended indefinite period of time. this just the latest development in the legal battle surrounding her after britney expressed her desire for it to end. calling it abusive and saying, i just want my life back. ♪ my life's been so overprotected ♪ >> reporter: and
