hunter's taxes were eventually paid thanks to kevin morris. special counsel david weiss says even though the taxes were paid it doesn't stop the fact it too years for hunter biden to do so. the first son had plenty of money to pay his taxes but he spent his money on women, clothing, health and beauty products. with kevin morris what happens anyone's guess until we read the transcript. inside the room will ask him about financially helping hunter biden and if any of this is related to the president of the united states. this is considered part of the impeachment inquiry into joe biden, not hunter biden. so expect republicans to see if there are any direct connections between morris and the president that may be nefarious. hunter biden's attorney is said to be negotiating with republicans in the house to have hunter appear for not only a closed door deposition but perhaps some sort of public hearing that the president's son wanted to do, which would actually stop the contempt proceedings from going forward. as we wait right now for kevin morris

morris won't comment. when i texted him he said he cannot comment because he's on contract with newsmax. which led to another mystery. what the is newsmax? tyrus, we were just here. he picked up the phone and said i didn't pick up the phone five times for a reason. i can't comment. what is going on? i need to know what you think. >> okay. for many, many years i was a bodyguard. our job is to always find the best scenario to explain to the wife. i will try to do that right now. they are getting ready to work out. he's ready to go. it is leg day. he told them the interview was only going to be about 10 minutes. but once you start stretching, wants you get those hamstrings and bicuspid burning and you get ready to go to your legs, you cannot wait. the word has always been to the fellows in the jim. when it's time to go to work, it's time to go to work. he came out ready to go to work. pay no attention to the mascara over his eyes. he came to go to work. that kept the son from bouncing off his cheeks when he i

described morris as his largest collector. georges said he did not know whether the gallery provided biden with the tax documentation to reflect the $525,000 payment from morris, and saw a piece of art in morris's home that the gallery director had not sold. indicating he obtained it elsewhere, perhaps from biden directly. how concerning is that? >> well, look, i think it's all very concerning and i don't want to beat a dead horse here, but it's possible that this stake in this chinese venture dwarfs the kinds of money we are talking about, even if it's over $5 million that's been transferred from morris to biden with month apparent plan for repayment. i suspect that's because repayment may not be necessary depending on how valuable the stake of this chinese investment is. >> sandra: the "washington post" meanwhile and the situation with fani willis, asking what in the world was fani willis thinking, pointing out the situation is a disaster, this improper relationship with the prosecutor going public as these divorce documents

we'll talk about that we have joe concha, mark simone, "breitbart"'s emma joe morris.ill be right here on set in just a few moments to talk about the whole story. and then wall streeter dan clifton, he is going to tell us what the trump stocks are and then the great art laffer we'll kibitz on it. plus everyone is bombing everyone in the middle east on joe biden's watch. the whole thing is out of control. kash patel, general keith kellogg will weigh in on that. later in the show illegal migrants now getting on airplanes and everything else with no i.d.s, okay? another reason why immigration is the top issue for voters in iowa and new hampshire. we'll talk to steve hilton and then the "new york post"'s betsy mccaughey. but first up, i'm going to make a few thoughts to weigh in. no matter what nikki haley says the reality is president donald trump had a huge victory last night in new hampshire, in a vote stacked by democrats and liberal independents. mr. trump still garnered 54% and defeated second place haley by 11 percentage points and he won the highest number of votes

many morris is a democratic donor.s you note for cars and houses and other kind of payments as well as his taxes, almost $2 million in back taxes and interest and penalties. and here's the interesting part, paul. he says he did this as a friend, but an e-mail came up in the course of this in which mr. morris had e-mailed hunter and some accountability and lawyers in 2020 during the election year saying we've really got to get these taxes in because we're at pretty great risk both personally and politically if we do not. and the question that the committee had for mr. morris is what were you talking about? opportunity disturb -- hunter isn't running for office. the suggestion, obviously, paul, that this generosity on behalf of mr. morris was actually being done as a political favor to joe biden and his election campaign. paul: bill, there's another angle here too which is that the, mr. mayor if race bought some of hunter's paintings. it sounds like to the tune of $875,000 worth of paintings. so this guy is, i mean, we c

morris met behind closed doors with both democrats and republicans today for around 6 hours, and it'so be expected at this point, skak, is republicans and democrats came occupy out with pretty different views about what morris said. james comer who's the oversight chair, says he still has a lot of questions about these loans morris made to hunter. and even went as far as to say that morris who's a democratic donor, made these loans as part of a way to curry favor with the president. now, jamie raskin, who is a top democrat on the oversight committee, had an entirely different picture to paint and said that there was no wrongdoing here, that morris talked about his long relationship with hunter and that there was never any conversations with the white house or the president about these loans. and he fully expects hunter to pay him back. so this is just another example of how closed door testimony each side comes out with their own story, and i think it's just going to be another example of where i'm going to have to wait to get the transcript to really get the full picture here. >> yea

morris loaned the president's son more than $4 million.ly in 2019 bu019, t since become close friends. a large chunk of the money went to hunter's taxes. kevin morris quoted was saying with respect to the lungs i'mat confident that hunter will repay. e any not and do notio hav expectation of receiving anything from hunter's father or the biden administration in exchange from helping hunter nor have i asked everything fromal president biden or his administration. my only goal was and is to help my friend and client. of course hunter biden is filing federal tax charges, none of them in california. three are felonies. as taxes were paid back thanks to help with kevin morris and david weiss still throwing the book at him looking to take him to trial. that is scheduled to take place> in los angeles on june 20. larry: sugar babies, sugar daddies, terrific. thank you ever sre aboo much. let's talk more about sugar daddies in the race. we have donald trump have a great night last night. let's bring in steve hilton foxt news contributor. i think ni

according to democrats, morris was just being friendly.ple million dollars between friends? take a look. >> he befriended hunter biden. he felt an immediate affinity with him, as -- you know, a fellow irish catholic from pennsylvania-delaware part of the country, with several brothers, and they became really close friends. now it's about whether or not a friend can loan a friend a lot of money, which is a lot of money for normal people like us, but for him, it was not a lot of money. he testified it was less than 5% of his assets off the top of his head. and he makes those kinds of loans all the time, and he seems like a very generous and loving friend. >> sean: here with more's the house oversight committee chairman james comer. a lot of breaking news tonight. was the new subpoena issued, or did they just agreed to complied with the old one? >> issued a new subpoena because you want to make sure everything was done right. the old subpoena had an old d date, we make sure all the is were dotted at the ts rick ross. because we did this inves

that's what is happening with morris here, kevin morris. >> harris: i want to read the quote from hispening statement. it's critical what you said. he said i did not and do not have any expectations of receiving anything from hunter's father or the biden administration in exchange for helping hunter. he knew he was giving him money. what you are saying is the money is a gift, you have to pay taxes on that. if it's a payback, i guess a loan, then you pay it back. >> well, i think -- >> harris: he doesn't have income. >> i was not a favor i was going to get in exchange for the loan. but any loan that's made, harris, has to be repaid. or it is not a loan, it's a gift and you pay taxes on that. again, they are splitting hairs. hunter biden has no income. the sugar brother, kevin morris, also bought artwork from hunter biden to the tune of $875,000. this is a really murky story. and more than likely if joe biden doesn't win the election these monies will not have to be repaid until sometime after the 2024 election. this is the shady business dealings that the bidens do. i think the smell t

maria: do you think kevin morris is working for the chinese communist party?o speculate on that. what i will tell you is that there appears to be much public corruption between china and the buy done -- biden family and he kevin morris is a conduit to that. there are serious questions that need to be answered here. the bed rock of all this, it's not hunter biden, it's joe biden. because joe biden's influence in our government and in our politics has allowed for all of this to be facilitated. that is why we're continuing our investigation. maria: real quick, congressman, have you gotten the call from president trump to be his vp? >> [laughter] >> no, i have not. i talked to the president last night. he's in good spirits, though. big win last night. look, they're going to make that decision. whatever he decides, i'm behind. it's about getting him reelected as president. maria: thank you. good to see you this morning. byron donalds this morning, thank you, sir. the crisis at the border continues, the migrant crisis is taking over new york city. what is mayor eric

he owes kevin morris at leastst million dollars, if not more. we learned that today. and accordinweg to what he told the bank, he owes china over $5n billion. the loan total with hunter biden and gm by no totalw, as i calculate it, is $15 million.cac we don't believe they're going to pay any of this back. i meanul $15 mil., these are ses ethical issues and tax evasion issuesofe are se that the bidenh are going to have to answer to. well, i mean, i was listeningrae to jamie raskin, let's be honest. i mean, he's really justt's be hack a political hack. >> but the idea well, this is just a small of his netis worth $5 million.ion, b and but wasn't it given at aut very critical time leading intov the 2020 election? this could have been a big campaign issue if, in fact, hunter had not paid his taxes. wasn't that money the original money used to pay top back taxeoney uses? w >> yes, it was. and i think that's very important. we hadry important. email todayy of the irs whistleblowershistle that showed that that kevin morris in an email to the accounting-bnt firm saying, we'e

getting a chance to grill kevin morris.-called sugarrw brother making it rain for the first son. maurice reportedly paying at least $5 million in hunter's tat bills, housing, legal fees, according to a report he told house investigators he had v isvisited the white house three times while bankrollinwhitg the first family. he's also paying hunter's ex-wife and the mother of his young out-of-wedlock daughter. morris denies there is any political motivation for any of this, saying in part, "i do not and did not have any expectations for receivingiv anything from hunter'sin fatherd the biden administration. my only goal wastion and is to p my friend and client." meanwhile hunter is ending his t months of defiance after finally agreeing to a private depositioh behind closed doors with house republicans pray tha hreput will happen on to berry 28th. it's a major shift after he was seen pulling to political science, one of which where he showed up for hie ofs deposition only to blow it off and bash the investigation. >> there is no

kevin morris put that in the e-mail.itical problem here if we don't pay these taxes now. the political problem was we believe the embarrassment to joe biden with his son getting carted off by the irs for not paying taxes for many, many years. again, this is to me an in-kind contribution to joe biden's campaign to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars at the time. now we are up to millions of dollars. by a person that hunter biden just met a few weeks before at a political fundraiser for joe biden. that was the first time kevin morris ever met hunter biden was at a political fundraiser for joe biden during the presidential campaign against trump. a few weeks later he's sending e-mails that we have a political problem. we have to pay this money. >> morris also told the committee that he provided hunter and didn't have to repay any of these loans until 2025, after the next presidential election. and also said that the loans can be forgiven and then confirmed that he still holds a steak in this chinese state backed eq

maria: the art purchaser that you mentioned, this is kevin morris.i know your committee, james comer told me he asked kevin morris to come in and speak to him and kevin morris said no, i can't come because i'm on vacation from thanksgiving to new year's and i'm out of the country. meanwhile, there he was when hunter pulled the other stunt on the senate side, standing right behind hunter biden. this is a guy who has paid millions of dollars toward hunter biden's taxes and lent him money and he only met him like two weeks earlier. so what's the story with kevin morris? why does keep paying hunter's bills? >> what's what we want to get to the bottom of. we had the art dealer come in this week i believe who testified that there was a weird arrangement between mr. morris and hunter biden and this is the guy that purchased art that we know about, $875,000 of hunter's incredible art career and so we have questions about this. obviously he is a big democrat do-- donor. he's doing a documentary if you will on hunter biden. again, i think the arrogance of the

kevin morris. jeanine, i'm going to start with you on this. this is his friend.nt to know. [laughter] >> jeanine: what they do together? >> martha: the inside of this relationship. months after they met in 2019, he started paying off all of his bills. i see a pattern of befriending, milking, dumping, then getting angry. how long do think it takes before these two start scrapping at each other, and kevin morris starts telling different stories? >> jeanine: i don't know. here's what i do know. they are talking about may be almost $7 million. by the way, i just have to make a comment. for hunter biden talking about the republicans not having decency, for this guy to have decency -- more coming out of his mouth and we have seen every part of his body that we don't want to see his stunning. >> the gall of that man, though gall. the gall. >> the gall of that man. [laughter] >> here's the thing: i don't care about kevin morris. the only thing i care about. he is a lawyer, for the people who write "south park." he purchased hunter's share or stake in a china-backed inves

kevin morris is known by hunter biden's friends as his new sugar brother because kevin morris is a veryawyer. made his fortune in hollywood representing the south park people and he has spent millions of dollars, 2.8 million repaying the i.r.s. for hunter biden and several million more funding his lavish lifestyle and buying almost a million dollars of is so-called paintings and kevin morris is also making a documentary about hunter and so you may have noticed yesterday that there was an unusual camera that came into the hearing room and that was because kevin morris has his film crew following hunter wherever he goes. and so really you have to see yesterday as just a reality show. it was made for this movie. and i'm not sure that it's a very clever move other than sort of seizing the moment and making hunter look like this sort of anti-hero of his own imagination. and it certainly grabbed the attention of the public and the media, but how that helps joe biden in his re-election campaign is a mystery. but obviously he mustn't mind because the democrats were helping hunter biden pull thi

now we are learning that morris bought most of hunter's high dollar amateur art, portraits of a crackaddict. hunter's new found career as an artist was another way for morris and other democratic donors to send hunter money. according to testimony from the new york art dealer, hunter knew about the sugar brother buying up his art despite those promises from the white house that the patrons will, quote, "be kept confidential, from even hunter himself in an attempt to avoid ethical issues that could arise as a presidential family member tries to sell a product with a highly subjective value. according to the art dealer, he never even worked with the white house on any such ethics packed. the white house straight up flat out lied once again. died in and the family got rich. sounds a little familiar. according to the first lady jill biden hunter is just a poor, helpless victim. take a look. >> i think what they are doing to hunter is cruel. and i am really proud of how hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction. i love my son and it has hurt my grandchildren. that's what i'm so concerned

i'm on the morris show onsh sunday 12 to to the morris show. i them.>> oh, okay. of have a good we got to good. >> yeah so i do plan on kind of like intruding in other zoom tv appearancesother zo. nk i think you should make it a regular thing and i don't peol think i'm going to do that. i was actually thinking about bring different people in. inmy tall friends. my my friend, my short friend, all different people that, you know, it's got to be good. >> so you could tell. you can tell my accent. i'm from yonkers i, am frnew y. >> yes. hey, did [ you did you do you have you ever metgo president trump? >> you were you worked at mar a lago, right? yes,, i am h i, i, i'm his artil i've been restoring all the murals that mar a lago form. and we talk a lot. >> i haven't seen him in a while, but last year i was there a lot and i'd seen almost. every morning and he'd walk on. >> morris says, you know, he likes you because you talk like lik he's not like that. i like that.woul >> well, listen, we'd lovehave y to have you on again. you could probably be like, maybe our fashio

including kevin morris. he cut him a swel a sweetheart .he's never done an art deal like this before, mr. chairman. is this considered money laundering to you as well? hunter biden selling art to people who we have no idea who those people are, are you suggesting that maybe those people just buying the art so they can get more favors, curry more favors from the biden family? >> we know that at least one person had declined to purchase the art prior to joe biden becoming president. then they purchased the art and then that person was you appointed to a very prestigious board. we know that. that's a fact. with respect to money laundering, when you look at the suspicious activity reports, the bank violations that the bidens received, money laundering was mentioned numerous times. it wasn't mentioned with respect to art sales but if you look at kevin mor morris and the fact he purchased the overwhelming majority of the art, we've identified $5 million in loans that kevin morris has given hunter biden where he hasn't made any principal or intere

that kevin morris purchased hundreds of thousands of hunter biden's terrible artwork. the fact that kevin morris owns 10% of a stake in the private equity company invested in communist china from hunt or or biden. every american knows this is corruption at its core, and joe biden sits atop the biden crime tam -- family. i know the oversight committee is going to continue its work to deliver transparency and, ultimately, accountability for what i believe will be the greatest political scandal in our nation's history with joe biden at the top of it. maria: wow. do you believe joe biden is compromised because he accepted millions from china, and do you believe that's why he's so soft on communist china, responding to its aggression? >> of course. i've said that joe biden is compromised. i've said that the american people know that the big guy, quote-unquote, 10% for the big guy is joe biden. and you are seeing a very weak foreign policy when it comes to asserting strength to counter china. we're not seeing that from joe biden and the white house and, frankly, we're not se

>> no, we don't, but kevin morris is one of the next people we expect to bring in for a deposition. we've got that booked. we expect to see him hopefully in the next 10 days. that's a question we'll ask him. if my math is right, sean, this brings the total up to around $6 million that kevin morris has either loaned or given to hunter biden. that's a disturbing amount of money for someone that never knew hunter biden prior to joe biden's presidential election, someone that certainly is a major democratic donor that for some reason has loaned or given the president of the united states' son $6 million. the president's son hasn't paid a penny of taxes on it. there's no indication that he's made principal much less interest payment back to kevin morris. >> sean: let me ask you about this. steven bannon and peter navarro were held in contempt. they're facing consequences as a result. >> yeah. >> sean: who is the person that will make that decision as your committee goes forward with contempt of congress allegations? those charges would have to be brought up by who? is this person conflic

why do i suspect i know kevin morris going in tomorrow? the $6 billion million dollar m sugaillionr. do you have any assurance from abbe lowell that hunter biden won't be pleading the fifth the whole time if you, in fact, give that special concession? >> well, we've had a good conversations. our chief counsel on the committeeoonversati has d good conversations with mr. wall to counsel for hunter biden. biden isieve hunter going to come in. that's what we want and want his testimony. whether he exercises one ofr hee his privileges under our constitution is up to him and his counsel and whatxevilegs he decides to do. but we do expect him to come in. we're pinning down a dat down aa but we've also gotve kevin morris. tomorrow, we've got eric schwerin, rob walke msr, pe mervin yan. >> we've got all these people coming in i cn the next. two weeks. and then we want to talk to jim biden and then we will also talk and to hunter biden. >> we just got to get that dayo. done. but we do we do. >> he is coming. and that's what we said in committee last

we also have kevin morris tomorrow and rob walker moving in. we have all these people coming in in the next two weeks. we will talk to jim biden and hunter biden. we have to get that date down. we do believe he is coming. that's what we said in committee last week when we marked up the contempt resolution. if hunter biden wants to cure this and come in and get the testimony from him, all the better. that's the negotiations we are in now. the tactic is good for our investigation and impeachment inquiry as we move forward. >> joe biden seems to lie a lot. he lied when he said not once did i ever speak to hunter, my brother or anybody about foreign business deals. then he lied to the american people for years saying the border is closed and secure. everybody around him lied about that. now we know he also lied. we were told there was in fact an ethics agreement where they would never know who the people were that were purchasing hunter biden's art. now the art dealer gave a deposition and then that deposition james comer confirmed this. we now lea

house testimony scheduled for february 28 as the oversight committee hears from a sugar brother kevin morris, what you need to know, joining to the conversation all morning long, we have former u.s. senate candidate and gop strategist joe pinion and walzer wealth management president rebecca walzer, "mornings with maria" is live right now. ♪. cheryl: it's time for the hot topic of that work. former president trump is stepping up his attacks on former un ambassador and gop presidential candidate nikki haley which is four days to go until the new hampshire primary, here is what he said on hannity last night. watch this. >> she's knocking to make it she has no chance of no way, maga is not going to be with her, one obsolete pull, she is two months old she was leading biden, those days are gone she's not leading biden anymore. the problem the democrats want her to run desperately so they have a lot of democrats signing up in new hampshire. but i don't think it's going to matter. cheryl: haley hitting back at mr. trump slamming him president biden for their ages during the cnn town hall last nigh

hunter knew the identities of 70% of the people who bought the art including kevin morris who boughtof it, by the way. hunter cut morris if a sweetheart deal by charging him 40% of the art which was actually valued, he claims, at $875,000. the gallerrist admitted he had never done an art deal like this before. do you believe that this could also come under the umbrella of influence peddling? >> well, we do know that 70% of the art that was purchased was purchased by democrat donors, a handful of democrat coach donors, and the key one, of course, kevin morris, who we will be deposing next week. he bought 11 different paintings or pieces of art that he purchased. $1.5 million -- hunter biden, brand new artist in two-and-a-half years' time sells $1.5 million worth of art. now, maybe he's that good. i don't know. i'm no art critic. but what i do know is 87 a 5 of that 11.5 million was -- 1.5 million was from this one democrat donor, this one individual, who's done all kinds of things for hunter biden. in addition to buying art, this guy also paid $1.2 million of hunter's back taxes, he's

we're hearing morris admitted he paid hunter's tax bill, that he met him at a biden campaign event.estimony raised ethical and campaign finance concerns for the president, pointing out that since morris started helping hunter financially morris has had access to the white house, has been with the president. this follows other business associates with hunter. give us your take on this since it involves your committee. >> judiciary's very involved in this. if there is an impeachment it would go you through the go thr. whether it's buying a gun illegally which if you or i did -- he disposed of it in a dumpster. there was cocaine, we found a holster with a gun. we know he was dealing with foreigners, actually powerful foreign interests that want an agreement from the united states of america. that's where his dad comes in. the deal here isn't that hunter's a gadd guy. we know that -- bad guy. we know that. it's the special treatment he was receiving from the department of justice, the fact that his father was in the conversations with his businesses and originally lied and said he wasn'

next day, morris's attorney accused oversight committee chairman james comer of misrepresenting histimony. morris is lawyer is now demanding a full transcript of his clients interview to be released immediately. joining us now is jaclyn -- congressional investigative reporter for the washington post. she is also an msnbc contributor. jacqui, we knew this was coming. this is not a surprise. what is a surprise is that the biden team gave into actually doing the closed door hearing. shed a little light on their thinking, rationale for now. you have an example of the greatest fear coming through with mr. morris's testimony been misconstrued by the chair. >> yeah, this trend that we are seeing is tried and true. for 118 congress, the gop majority in the absence of any evidence has tried to use procedural fights to elevate and force coverage of unsubstantiated information already debunked information, and really using it as a vehicle to pedal disinformation about these impeachment investigations that they're trying to force. these pre destined impeachment investigations. i too was surpris

elliott morris, data analytics. he was a senior data journalist and u.s. correspondent for the economist. and he is the author of strength in numbers, how polls work and why we need them. we'll get to the data in a moment, but the intangible all of a sudden, the weather. going to be cold. to me that says whoever has the most passionate base is going to come out and provide victory for their candidate. your thought. >> yeah, look, it will be minus 20, minus 30 windchill in iowa. i do expect that that will have some impact on the race. we can expect in other words some level of polling error i would suspect. just because you already brought up the historical data. and i'll just cite there is usually five percentage point difference between how a candidate isle forring and the actual share of the vote that they get. so some precedent for sure price. you add on top of that the nasty weather, i expect as you say t that the did witoday with the m enthusiastic voters will get even more. but donald trump has 51 percentage points to hale's 17. so not like she could

and if you're paying attention, that's the same blocks that the richard morris memorial was on. and opposite was was the lenox library, which was built by hunt. and that's why they placed his monument there. so he would be overlooking one of his buildings in eternity, but the lenox lobby would be knocked down. it was knocked down when it merged its collections with the tilden trust. and they asked a library to create new york public library. and so he purchases this this property, and he hires this, this dream team of thomas hastings on the left, who was the architect of new york public library. in the middle is the charles allen, the famous english decorator who had just been knighted for working on buckingham palace and then next to him is lord joseph levine, the purveyor of european art and antiquities. you had showroom rooms and london, paris and new york and by the way new public library took six years to build. and frick had to wait five years before he could start construction on this because part of a deal was he couldn't start construction until the library moved his co

elliot morris, my next guest, compared this with the polls in every presidential election dating back to 1980. morris assembled a massive master list of where non-incumbent candidate stood in mid-december before the election year and how they ultimately fared. at that point, every non-incumbent with 40% in polls has gone on to win the party's nomination. trump is at 61%. if you look at trump's advantage at this stage compared to the other non-incumbents seeking the nomination, his polling is within his party higher than any of them. g.w. bush, hillary clinton, analysis, as of mid-december, this gave trump a more than nine in ten chance of being the nominee. what are the historical chances for somebody in desantis or haley's current position to catch him? since 1980, there have been three non-incumbent candidates that were polling below 15% in december and did go on to win their party's nomination. michael dukakis, john mccain, and bill clinton. but those races were wide open. in those december polls, no other candidate was above 25%, where trump's current support is more than double t

morris also paid hunter nearly a million dollars for his art. he must be a connoisseur.o is this just a generous sugar brother? maybe. we know he donated half a million dollars to democrats but that wasn't enough to get him an invitation to the white house. the sugar brother didn't get to go to the white house. until he became best buddies with hunter and started making loans. then he got a private tour of the white house. invited to a wedding on the south lawn and even went to a fourth of july picnic. it seems like the sugar brother is at the white house more than joe. and today we're finding out hunt thatter agreed to be deposed by the house next month but we will see if he shows up. we're waiting for tim scott's endorsement of donald trump for president. plus new charges against alec baldwin. disrupts my skin, night and day. despite treatment, it's still not under control. but now i have rinvoq. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that reduces the itch and helps clear the rash of eczema—fast. some rinvoq patients felt significant itch relief as early as 2 days. some achieved

morris visited the white house while president biden was in the house.unter biden pleaded not guilty to felony charges stemming from david weiss investigation after he failed to pay $1 million in taxes. hunter withdrew 1.6 million and paid nearly $700,000 to various women and spent $200,000 on adult entertainment. his deposition is a major victory for house republicans, remains to be seen if hunter will answer questions or plead the fifth. >> todd: i'm saying he is going to plead the fifth and wouldn't put it past him for the february 28th date to move again. speculation growing that michelle obama could jump into the 2024 race. op ed in "new york post" says the plans are to grab michelle for the democratic presidency choice. the obamas are nudging to force slow-motion joe to drop out. who else is there? joe concha, fox news contributor joins me live on set. cindy adams, wrote this famous institution in new york. she is often in the know. thoughts on the theory? >> joe: 93-year-old cindy adams, great to see she is still active. july, chicago, obama homet
