YOU KNOW IT IS.

THAT MEANS IT'S TIME FOR FRIDAY

FOLLIES.

CHRIS CUOMO PHONES HOME AND SOME

MOW

MVIE REBOOTS GO DOWN IN PHRASE.

HERE'S RAYMOND ARROYO.

YOU HAVE BREAKING BIDEN NEWS?

>> HIS SON, HUNTER, WAS SUED IN

AUGUST BY A WOMAN THAT CLAIMS

SHE HAD A RELATIONSHIP AND A

CHILD WITH BIDEN'S SON.

SHE WAS A STUDENT AT GEORGE

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY WHEN THEY

MET.

HUNTER DENIED THE RELATIONSHIP

AND PATERNITY.

THE RESULTS OF A COURT-MANDATED

DNA TEST ARE IN.

FOR THIS, WE GO TO OUR SPECIAL

FIELD CORRESPONDENT.

>> YOU ARE THE FATHER!

>> EVERY CHILD IS A BLESSING,

LAURA.

JOE BIDEN DIDN'T SEEM TO PLEASED

WHEN PETER DOOCY ASKED HIM ABOUT

HIS NEW GRANDCHILD.

>> WONDERING IF YOU HAVE A

COMMENT OUT OF ARKANSAS THAT

YOUR SON, HUNTER, JUST MADE YOU

A GRANDFATHER AGAIN?

>> NO.

THAT'S A PRIVATE MATTER.

NO COMMENT.

ONLY YOU WOULD ASK THAT.

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN.

CLASSY.

>> CLASSY?

IF I WERE JOE BIDEN I WOULDN'T

BE THROWING CLASSY AROUND WHEN

HUNTER -- I LOVE THAT.

HE DENIED THE RELATIONSHIP AND

EVER MEETING HER.

SO NOW --

>> NOT ONLY DID HE MEET HER, HE

HAD A CHILD WITH HER.

>> Laura: IF YOU CAN'T TRUST HIM

ON HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD, HOW

DO YOU TRUST HIM ON I DIDN'T

SPEAK TO MY DAD AT ALL ABOUT

BURISMA?

>> THE BIDENS HAVE BEEN TRASHING

TRUMP NOR BEING A REALITY STORE.

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE DOING IT.

DURING THE IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS,

DAVID HOLMES THAT WORKED AT THE

U.S. UKRAINIAN EMBASSY TESTIFIED

THAT HE OVERHEARD A CONVERSATION

BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND

AMBASSADOR SONDLAND.

HE CLAIMS HE COULD HEAR THE

PRESIDENT'S VOICE DESPITE THE

FACT THAT THE CALL WAS NOT ON

SPEAKER PHONE.

THE PRESIDENT SAID MY HEARING IS

ALWAYS GREAT.

NEVER HAVE I SEEN A PERSON

MAKING A CALL THAT WAS NOT ON

SPEAKER PHONE AND BE ABLE TO

HEAR OR UNDERSTAND A

CONVERSATION.

I TRIED IT TO NO AVAIL.

TRY IT LIVE.

SO CNN'S CHRIS CUOMO TRIED IT

LIVE WITH HIS MOMMA.

>> VERY INTERESTING THEORY FROM

OUR PRESIDENT.

HE'S NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HEAR A

PHONE CALL WHEN IT WASN'T ON

SPEAKER PHONE FROM ANYBODY.

SO LET'S JUST PLAY WITH THAT FOR

A SECOND.

MOM, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I'M WITH DANA.

DID SHE JUST SAID HELLO?

MOM?

I CAN'T HEAR YOUR MOTHER.

>> THIS IS ACROSS THE TABLE.

>> HE COULDN'T GET CONFIRMATION.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO PULL A STUNT

LIKE THIS, TEST IT OUT FIRST AND

MAKE SURE EVERYBODY CAN HEAR.

BY THE WAY, HE HAD HIS PHONE ON

SPEAKER.

THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PRESIDENT

SAID.

SO IT'S -- THIS WAS A DISASTER

FOR CHRIS CUOMO.

>> Laura: I KEEP THINKING THE

GLOVE WITH O.J. AND DIDN'T FIT.

KIND OF LIKE THAT.

>> MARSHA CLARK.

>> Laura: OH, WAIT A SECOND.

>> MRS. CUOMO IS LIKE WHEN

THEY'RE LISTENING ON THE RADIO.

>> Laura: BUT IT'S HARD TO HEAR

IT.

>> IT IS.

YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO THE

PHONE.

>> Laura: AND I LIKE WHEN MOMS

AND DADS COME ON SHOWS.

MINE ARE NO LONGER WITH US.

BUT AT SOME POINT IT DOES BECOME

A LITTLE -- HE COULD HAVE DONE

THE SAME THING WITH DANA OR HAD

A PRODUCER CALL IN.

THIS IS A LITTLE LIKE DAYTIME

TV.

>> CUOMO MIGHT CONSIDER A SECOND

CAREER AS A PRODUCT

DEMONSTRATOR.

ELON MUSK AT TESLA MIGHT HAVE A

JOB FOR HIM.

MUSK UNVEILED THE NEW CYBER

TRUCK.

IT'S ARMORED WINDOWS AND WALLS

ARE BULLETPROOF MUSK INSISTED.

GO AHEAD.

THROW SOMETHING AT IT.

>> OH, MY [BLEEP].

MAYBE THAT WAS A LITTLE TOO

HARD.

[LAUGHTER]

>> TRY THE OTHER ONE.

REALLY?

>> OH, MAN.

>> DIDN'T GO THROUGH.

>> HE SAID THEY'RE GOING TO FIX

IT AND POST.

>> Laura: THIS IS ANOTHER THING,

ANOTHER EXPERIMENT IN REAL TIME

THAT YOU HAVEN'T PRODUCT TESTED

BEFORE.

>> YOU HAVE TO REHEARSE THESE

THINGS.

THIS GUY, BY THE WAY, MUSK LOST

$720 MILLION AS A RESULT OF

THAT.

>> Laura: DROP IN THE BUCKET.

DIDN'T THE KARDSHIAN DAUGHTER

MAKE $600 MILLION OR SELLING

THAT IN HER MAKEUP COMPANY?

SHE'S 22.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S BEEN A STRING OF

FLAME-OUTS AT THE BOX OFFICE IN

RECENT WEEKS.

THEY ALL SEEM TO INVOLVE

REBOOTS.

NOW, WHAT IS GOING ON?

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME

TIME.

IT ONLY PICKED UP STEAM IN HOW

BAD THEY'RE FLAILING.

>> THE AUDIENCE MAY BE TIRING OF

THESE ENDLESS REMAKES AND

REBOOTS.

ELIZABETH BANKS SECOND CHARLIE

ANGELS REBOOT WITH KRISTIN

STEWART COST $50 MILLION TO

PRODUCE.

IT HAD AN OPENING WEEKEND OF $21

MILLION.

A FLOP.

PART OF THE REASON IS THIS WAS

AWOKE FEMINIST CHARLIE'S ANGELS.

YOU REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL.

IT WAS A SHOW THAT GUYS COULD

WATCH.

ACTION, BEAUTY.

THIS NEW ITERATION WAS

DIFFERENT.

>> WOMEN CAN DO ANYTHING.

>> JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN DOESN'T

MEAN THEY SHOULD.

>> WE'VE HEARD THAT SO MANY

TIMES.

>> DIRECTOR ELIZABETH BANKS

EXPLAINED HER VISION FOR THE

REBOOT THIS WAY.

>> I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA

OF WATCHING THESE PROFESSIONAL

WOMEN AT THEIR JOB.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE BOYFRIEND

THAT THEY DON'T SEE ENOUGH, THE

DOG THEY'RE NOT FEEDING, THE MOM

THEY'RE NOT CALLING.

>> LAURA, AUDIENCES DON'T WANT

TO BE TALKED DOWN TO OR MEN

ATTACKED, WHICH IS WHAT THIS

FRANCHISE DID.

IT RUNS AFOUL OF THE ORIGINAL

VISION AND THE MOVIE, WHICH WAS

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WHO COULD DEFEND

THEMSELVES.

BUT THEY WERE PART OF A TEAM BUT

THEY USED THEIR BEAUTY AND WILES

TO GET THEIR WAY.

NOT ONLY THROWING 300-POUND MET

THROUGH PLATE GLASS WINDOW.

>> Laura: SHOULD I REVEAL TO THE

AUDIENCE THAT WE HAVE OUR OWN

LAURA INGRAHAM ANGELS.

>> HELLO, ANGELS.

>> IT'S FUN.

>> IT'S TOMMY.

I'M BOSLEY.

>> Laura: YEAH.

TOMMY IS LIKE DON'T SAY ANYTHING

ABOUT THAT.

IT'S THE P.C. THING, JUST RUINED

CINEMA.

IT RUINS IT.

>> RUINED THE NEW "TERMINATOR"
