seek higher ground and be of high alert. we've had some horrifying video come in the past couple of hours in the first video appears to show the inside of a home. there is a tv on the wall and a baby swinging on the ground. they are dramatically tossed around and shaken. the tv with the power out and the weather camera was shaking in the area which is a town along the sea of japan. the weather camera shaking so violently, it reveals to us how powerful this earthquake was. a plume of dust is kicked up in the distance. in a video of an entire neighborhood shaking on the far left of the screen. you might be able to see a house or structure that sends a plume of dust imploding into the air appear the video shows utility poles violent waddling and shaking in the community. and in japan what appears to be cell phone video of the aftermath in a shopping center with the forest covered in a layer of water with shelves,

merchandise, debris crashed to the ground. you can see a man direct people out of that scenario. a dangerous indoor space. russia and north korea also issued tsunami warnings out of caution. so far, no word of any tsunamis in that area. you know, the death toll has been rising over the past couple of hours and becomes a lot of concern about people being trapped in the rubble and underneath buildings, anita. >> anita: no doubt a scary situation and powerful earthquake, matt finn, thank you so much. >> rich. >> president biden facing major uphill fight in the polls as he gives up what is expected to be competitive. election cycle. even so, he has sounding confident about his record. >> hope they understand we are in a better position than any country in the world. we are coming back, and it is about time. >> rich: lucas tomlinson traveling with the president in

st. croix. hey, lucas, what is on the agenda today for the president? >> rich, the white house said president biden had a secure phone call and the national security team including the vice president here in st. croix to discuss the situation in the middle east middle east after u.s. navy copters killed those in the red sea after helicopters responding to a stress call. on a lighter note, the first lady last night. >> what are your hopes for america? >> i think it is what i would tell my students, be optimistic, be positive, be kind to one another. a happy new year. >> happy new year and enjoyed two scoops of ice cream tonight. >> rich: on fox news sunday, the chief economic advisor say the prices are coming down. >> i got two words for you, mike, lowering cost. lowering the cost of insulin and make sure the measures of this legislature to keep down the

price of prescription drugs, health care coverage, to continue fighting against junkies whether airfares, banks, hotels, to continue to build on this progress we have made. not just lower inflation but lower cost and a tier of consumer spending. >> rich: what you didn't hear from bernstein or president biden any boast of the stock market finished up 14% and the s&p 50024% and the nasdaq up nearly 45%. many americans laid the prices are still to life for many items they buy up a grocery store the biden campaign says, "think to president biden's leadership, the u.s. economy consistently defies expectations with millions of jobs created in inflation at its lowest level in more than two years and any cost coming down for the american people." not everyone agrees that the prices are coming down. >> he keeps saying prices are falling. prices aren't following but they

are not rising as fast as they were in the first two years of office. but he's got to go to the grocery store. he should go to the cask pump. >> rich: the economy is one of the reasons the president's approval rating has dropped the lowest level of any president running for reelection. since the end of world war ii, rich. >> rich: lucas tomlinson in st. croix, lucas, thank you. let's bring in jessica ehrlich a democratic strategist and republican governor mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas. guys, thank you for joining us new year's day. governor come i want to start with you and you look at the presidents progress going into the new year and inflation is the price increases that has slowed dramatically, equities, stocks, they are way up and interest rates look like they might be coming down next year. is that a good mix for the president? >> it would sound like it to hear them tell it, bidenomics is doing great. the reality for people that do

their own shopping and pump their own gas, they are not seen it yet. a lot of people are saying, who will you believe, joe biden or your lying eyes question like the american people are not feeling the extraordinary benefits of bidenomics. if they were, his numbers would be better and like most presidential elections, it will be a kitchen table election and about the economics and the typical american family unless something dramatic happens right now. it is just not that great for the typical american family. it is fine for the people in the corner office of high-rise multinational corporation. but for a working-class family, people who stand on hard, concrete floors everyday and lift everything is. >> you look at inflation numbers and they have improved but the problem is where it is an elevated level when you compare prices to what they were the start of the administration here at the president's approach is basically to say, shoot the

messenger. has that been the wrong approach? how does he talk about this? >> they definitely need to make an improvement and change as to how they discussed the economy because really, we have seen job growth and job improvements appear they are doing what needs to be done to combat inflation. compared to other first world countries in the world following the pandemic, it actually has been fairly well. and a loaf of bread is still not more than it should be. and hopefully throughout this next coming year, they will have some time to really get down to talking about as governor huckabee said, those kitchen table issues. because really, those are the ones that we will see a lot of women that are important to share and women always focus on how much the groceries are, how much they are spending in their household, how much they are paying for gas. what the health care costs are for their children. these are very, very important

things that will play into the next election for sure. >> rich: we are a year out when you look at the polls and the polls can change traumatically as you know running for governor and you also have issues looking forward here. this can be by an aerial election between former president trump, current presidt joe biden and you look at the polls shaping up to be right now but neither are particularly popular. is it too early to say which way this is going to go? and how much can this change in the next really 11 months, ten months? >> well, it can change every month for the next 11 months. the reality of election politics as you can be riding high one day and eating dirt the next. >> rich: yeah, people take a poll and if the election were held today -- well the election isn't being held today so we will do is look at snapshots. but i think there are two big issues that the biden administration has helped create

problems, and they are not addressing. one is the border. it is an absolute disaster. that brings wages down into democrat may resent the big cities and country are screaming that this is absolutely overrunning them here or the other is energy. president biden declared war on fossil fuels day one of his administration. but is not just the cost of gasoline or oil, it is the cost of everything that has to be delivered by trucks and trains and planes. we now see a lot of built in cost and that drives a lot of what goes on with american families and american businesses right now. we went from energy dependent the first time in 75 years to now going back with a ct scan over saudi arabia, and that includes fuel. >> jessica, last word, a long time before the president faces reelection year. do you think he can do it? >> i definitely think he can do it. and i wish governor huckabee and i were policy people and we like

to talk about these issues. i would love to see this election driven by that spirit tromped/biden ticket but my fear is more the personality and clash of whether or not these parties coalesce behind their candidates and what that looks like. how they go about independent swing voters. it will be a wild ride. i'm very excited about it. i'm still optimistic and i'm very, very much looking forward to the convention this year. i think we will see some interesting changes on the party platforms. they need to happen and we will see how it goes going forward for the candidates. >> rich: it is an election year, jessica ehrlich and mike huckabee, congratulations and happy new year to you. anita. >> anita: rich, striking back against iran fact houthis in the red sea. the news appears it is raising an expanded war in the

the houthi boats were off the vessels before the u.s. forces responded yesterday sinking the boats and killing their crews. in the meantime, israel is set -- >> anita: thousands of troops and gaza signaling a potentially new stage of the war. chief nationals correspondent jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon with more on the spirit of hi, jennifer. >> hi, anita the white house weighing whether to strike out fentanyl targets in yemen as the iranian-backed houthis shipping lanes. this is the pentagon fed announced the u.s. navy state of the art aircraft carrier and the uss board with 5,000 sailors and attacking the aircraft on board is returning home. the fort has been stationed in the eastern mediterranean to deter iran and has below from expanding the conflict in gaza. the eight month deployment was

extended by the secretary of defense two time since hamas launched a war on israel on october 7th. speak with his carrier are making history. sometimes, the greatest achievements are the things that we start. and in a moment of huge tension in the region, you will have been the linchpin to create a wider regional conflict. >> in its place, the 26th marine expeditionary unit known as americans 911 rapid response force has been sent to the eastern meant to replace the ford. it includes the uss bataan, uss carter hall, and the uss -- and not a carrier strike group but it can intercept missiles and recently trained to evacuate a large number of americans if needed. on december 28th comment left the red sea as houthi attacks increased. this video from early sunday showed houthi fighters to

overtake singapore flag denmark owned shipping vessel. and the uss navy responded to the distress call and say three of the four houthi vessels killing an estimated ten iranian-backed houthis fighter spirit it is postponing operations in the red sea for 48 hours. the white house is discussing with great britain whether to strike back against houthi forces in yemen with drone cites the target. the secretary rode the following opinion piece, "if we do not protect the red sea, it risks emboldening those looking to threaten elsewhere, including in south china sea and crimea. we won't hesitate to take further action to deterred threats, with navigation and the red sea." >> i'm not ruling anything in or out with. we have made clear publicly to the houthis into the allies in the region we take these threats seriously. we will make the right decisions

going forward. >> there have been 23 international ships attacked by the houthis since november 19th. none of the ships have been affiliated with israel despite houthi claims. now iran in a be free with missiles and to red sea through the street in the past 24 hours. january 3rd marks the fourth anniversary of the u.s. iranian custom. >> anita: jennifer griffin live at the pentagon, jennifer, thank you so much for that. more on this, let's bring in national security institute founder and executive director of former associate counsel to president george w. bush. thank you so much for coming today. happy new year. good to see you. so as we heard from jennifer's report, the aggression by the

houthis is continuing and she mentioned 23 attacks on national ships so far. should the u.s. we designate this group as a foreign terrorist organization? president biden took them off at that list in february 2021, but a lot of people are now wondering why. >> you are exactly right, anita. it was a big mistake to take houthis off the terrorist list in 2021 appeared up put the entire group has been causing problems in yemen for many years. they have been having attacks with the saudis in the region. this is a real problem and continues and two dozens at this point drawing u.s. forces is a huge issue. we need to take action not against the houthis but in iran to deter the attacks. >> anita: at some point, probably very soon in the near future, i would imagine this is going to affect shipping times. there will be major shipping delays.

there will be price increases, disruptions to the supply chain. it seems like something has to be done. how much longer can this go on? >> well, anita, the real challenge is $9 billion of trade flows both ways and the swiss canal, which is on one side bound by the red sea, which is exactly where the attacks are taking place. so to disrupt those trade operations, $9 million worth of oil, i'm sorry 9.2% of the world's oil passes through the swiss canal every day. that is a huge problem as well. we can expect to see shipping delays up to 14 days in the united states. as we see those ships reroute around the cape and africa. that is going to cause not only delays but also information in the united states and europe. that is huge problem for the economy. it will get worse and unless we take actions against houthis, we can expect problems to continue and draw further into this conflict.

>> anita: this new multinational maritime force that was created, to sort of help with this violence going on by the houthis but already we see nations drop out. spain does not support this effort. why is that? >> you know, 20 nations we brought in this operation prosperity and ten of them not even declared their relationship with the united states publicly. so the real question is why aren't they backing it? they know how important it is for world trade. they know how important this fight is pure the problem is we are not showing sue strengthening the ports but we are shooting down drones but not taking direct action. over time, direct action against the houthis and this one fight where actually they board this vessel. and then we finally took action 3 out of 4 ships sinking the houthi rebels. i think the problem is the allies don't see an effort to win here but sort of fighting the action. that will not succeed.

we have to fight the adversary, otherwise we will have more attacks going forward appeared and world shipping is at stake here. >> anita: yeah, we have a minute left man i want to take a look at fox news poll showing americans are aware of what is happening there in the red sea. let's take a look at this, of course, keeping in mind the houthis backed by iran. handling with relations has made the u.s. safer, no difference, safer by 12%. so, that tells you people are really looking at these issues. and they are really asking the questions about the policy of this administration. >> welcome i think this is the problem. the effort to get back here with a nuclear deal and iran with sanctions relief. and this effort to not push back against iran backing the houthi globally and we continue to try to play nice iran. that does not work and they

respond to for spirit we need to go after them directly and hit them where it hurts. sanctions isn't enough. the biden administration needs to do more to push back against iranian efforts around the globe. >> anita: all right, it is january 1st so we will see what happens in the new year. jamil jaffer, thank you for coming today and happy new year. >> happy new year to you as well. >> anita: to never be before seen migrants at the border in the group of migrants that republicans say is where the real threat lies. that is coming up next. >> so it just another 80,000 cutaways with 1.7 million individuals in the country undetected for estimated to be here? it's not a big word.

rich. >> rich: live in chicago, mike, thanks. for more on this, let's bring border patrol council brandon judd. thank you for joining us, happy new year to you. you look at some of these numbers here since december 1st, you have the highest total ever recorded. the first time monthly ever received 300,000. it is roughly the size of the population of st. paul, minnesota, pittsburgh, pennsylvania, kimura greensboro, north carolina, and that is according to the cbc fox news. how short-staffed are you guys in dealing with this? >> that is what makes it extremely upset when we hear people like mayor johnson talk about structure that they need structure. where is this administration why are they my age or giving us the structure we need in order to take these individuals into custody and process them and actually, instead what they are doing is encouraging this magnet that his catch and release. that is what is wrong so meet

people across the borders illegally. this could end tomorrow if this administration want to appear they want to pander to the open border pace and to worry about o is going to show up to the ballot box come november of this year. and that is what they constantly do rather than giving us the resources and the policy that we need to handcuff us here and in they are giving the cartels everything they need. these cartels are generating billions of dollars in revenue every single year. >> rich: what authority do you guys have? who can you deport or is it largely at this point just in processing and handling notices to appear a question mark >> nobody, nobody pure and what we do is take them into custody amp process for deportation proceedings but then we turn around and release. what that does is that allows them to travel wherever they want in the united states. it also allows them to disappear into what obama termed -- that's when they don't show up to court appearances. all of these people know they have faced very small chance of

receiving asylum by immigration judge. they know that is not going to happen so they don't show up to court appearance. every single day that we release thousands of illegal immigrants into our country, we know they are never going to leave but be here tuesday. and you look how long it will be before they see an immigration judge, right now we are looking at seven years before. all they have to do is come here, get married, have a child appear they are different ways they can then ensure that they will stay. our system is broken, and the only thing this administration talks about when they talk about immigration reform is asylum, i'm sorry, is amnesty. they are never talking about the actual policies that will allow us to secure the border from here going into the future. >> rich: there have been some instances over the past years were the border agents have talked directly to the dhs secretary ella hunter may work us. do you guys get the sense that he is hearing your issues and

communicating them to the white house? do you think this goes to the white house or does it end with homeland security secretary? >> i have spoken with the secretary on multiple occasions and he knows exactly what needs to be done. i do know behind the scenes, he has tried to get this administration to do what they need to do but they continue to not do it. what i would like to see from the secretary is he will not be able to get the job down but i wish that he would resign because that would send the message to everybody that it is an administration problem. we know what needs to be done, secretary mayorkas knows what needs to be done. we are not going to get the proper policy from this administration, and again, it all comes b back to politics. >> rich: border patrol council, brandon, thank you for joining us this afternoon, anita. >> anita: rich, it will be a very busy new year for members of congress when they get back from winter break.

court documents related to convicted pedophile, jeffrey epstein cured a former president clinton is among those names dating back to 2015 lawsuit, by epstein's main accusers. correspondent alexandria hoff has more. >> now currently within the hundreds of pages of books sealed court filings related to epstein, more than 150 individuals identified as john or jane does. but the unlegal masking is about to come out here at the manhattan federal judge said no specification to continue to have documents sealed in the settled case involving epstein accuser and convicted sex offenders now jailed. the associate maxing. they will be rejected and released early tomorrow and among the name will be former president bill clinton and that is according to abc news which notes the 77-year-old is mentioned more than 50 times within the lengthy court texts. it will likely come from

attempts to have him testify against maxine and epstein. there is no indication the records contained evidence of illegal conduct or allegation by clinton although the accuser did claimed that she met the former president on epstein's private island. the lawyers have maintained he ended contact with epstein in 2005 before epstein was accused of luring underage girls to his home in palm beach. abc also knows many prominent names expected to be released like prince andrew have been publicly associated with eps epstein. anita. >> anita: think you come alexandria hoff. let's bring in the justice department when died in a manhattan jail sale. great to see you and happy new year to you. happy new year. >> yes here this is a story that keeps popping up every couple of years.

now, a federal judge has ordered the public disclosure of about 150 names of people mention in court documents related to jeffrey epstein. as we heard alexandria hoff's report, president clinton was mention 50 times. we know he was on jeffrey epstein's jet, but what more might we learn? >> i think we will get a better effect how jeffrey epstein did what he did. as you mention, anita i was at the justice department and i still remember where i was when i got that phone call that they found epstein hanging in his cell. was devastating and devastating for the justice department because we were robbed of an opportunity to bring him to justice. i think what the judge has done is smart with transparency and the general philosophy is that justice cannot survive behind the walls of silence and so i think her making as much information public while weighing the privacy interest of the victims has been good and

helpful for the greater good. >> anita: so other than president clinton and this is not a client list being released. right question mike this is a list of names mentioned with court documents by one of the accusers against jeffrey epstein jeffrey epstein. other than president clinton, are there any other big power players who were nervous about the release of these documents? >> i think we may learn about people who were either on witness list and it doesn't mean they were involved are guilty but we may learn more about some of these victims were pure the judge did say that she would not unseal those who are minors at the time of jeffrey epstein's abuse. we will not learn that and i think that is a good thing in line of the privacy of those young women at the time. but i think we have a better sense of the ecosystem of sorts. the way that epstein conducted what he did, there is a lot of curiosity in the public and i think there is movement separate from this and senator blackburn

is pushing for the release of the flight records as well, the official flight records. i think those will be interesting to see as well. >> anita: that will be released at a later time, not with this release in court, is that correct? >> that is correct. right, but that is something i'm keeping my eye on because i think the flight records from official flight records will tell us more than we are going to learn this week. >> anita: that could be very interesting. i want to change the topic very quickly because all eyes are on the supreme court next week as presidential trumps legal team expected to file an appeal to the colorado case of those states trying to take his name off of the ballot. are we expecting a swift decision? how are you expecting this to play out? a quick answer here. >> we are hurtling for chaos at the supreme court does not get involved is really the bottom line. if a single election official or handful of justices can unilaterally remove from people the right to vote for the

candidate of their choosing, it completely with the political process in the country as we know it. i hope they resolve this across the board. i think we are going to see more states possibly borrow the rationale, the reasoning of election official and injustices in colorado. >> anita: quickly, are we expecting a swift decision by the supreme court? speak with the supreme court, they have full discretion. i hope they do. i would think they would move fast. given what the stakes are, 2024 election and the fact that our political process is just being -- i think it is going to disintegrate into disarray if this continues. so i would hate to say i expect, i would hope them to because i think otherwise, it becomes a very dangerous situation for the country. >> anita: we will see what happens, like i said we will be watching next week. kerri kupec urbahn, thank you for your legal insights.
