>> brian: we begin this hour with a brand new development with jeffrey document dump. >> steve: another one last night. another 300 documents were dumped or unsealed to the public, putting more scrutiny on former president bill clinton'. >> ainsley: we are learning more about the hollywood stars in epstein's orbit and we expect more document to come out today. peter doocy joins us now live from the white house with the latest. hey, peter. >> latest accusation was bill clinton was doing some kind of crisis p.r. for jeffrey epstein. one of the epstein accusers virginia giuffre was writing a book and in it she claimed about bill clinton he walked into vanity fair and threatened them not to write sex trafficking articles about his good friend jeffrey epstein. those are disputed in the pages

of the telegraph quote there is no evidence to support the claims and strenuously denied by a representative vanity fair's long time former editor who told the telegraph this categorically did not happen. we know epstein's convicted associate ghislaine maxwell was at chelsea clinton's wedding. can you see it on the right. family ties did extend just beyond business trips with bill clinton and jeffrey epstein. some of the other names in epstein documents really do jump off the page. the model naomi campbell, leonardo decaprio. kevin spacey. the towards creator lucas. michael jackson and david copperfield. the reason they are jumping off the page because they were so famous. some of these celebrities were on the other end of epstein phone calls allegedly. never actually seen in person by anybody who was being trafficked. and none of those big names and ages are in trying to explain

why exactly they may have been associated with the late jeffrey epstein back to you. >> steve: i didn't see you doing epstein stories when you went to the house. because of the former president bill clinton that's why you are talking about it this morning. clinton, when all this news is coming out is in mexico. what is he doing down there. do we know? >> just going about his day. they are maintaining it's been 20 years since he talked to epstein, nothing that's in these documents is implicating bill clinton of doing anything illegal. is he not changing his schedules. he is hanging out in mexico. >> ainsley: is he there on vacation? >> brian: maybe is he going to remain in mexico. [laughter] >> steve: they don't do anymore, brian. >> ainsley: and pay for the what you will. >> steve: thank you very much,

peter for the live report. do you want to bring the others flowers? we realize weed only have one bouquet. >> >> ainsley: you need a bouquet too. >> brian: listen closely the ratings are going up. >> ainsley: you have a lot of stuff going on in there my friend. >> steve: people love flowers and they love diners. that's why lawrence jones is live in hometown of dallas at a place where you were making pancakes about 20 minutes ago. >> that's right, family, good morning. good to be back home and part of the reason why we decided to have breakfast with our folks here is because i'm heading to the border after this diner and there is new video. used to be just texas. there is this new video that just came out of these migrants just going straight through the barriers at the border in arizona. you got to take a look at it. let's watch it. >> >> brian: looking at it. you don't necessarily need the sound up. but we have seen this scary

video. >> ainsley: at the end of that, you can see them come through that wall and looks like the guy who organized all of this is recording it so they can send that video back home to say your loved one made it across, pay me my money. >> brian: 73% of americans thought think it's very or somewhat important to increase security at the u.s.-mexican border. it is no longer wow, what what do those republicans care so much at the border about. almost everybody cares about the border. you pick under the "new york times." you see a flood of humanity making their way towards the border. you watch other channels saying this is a huge problem. the border. so you would think impeaching mayorkas, he would have something to say last night on "special report" that would make you feel better that he is on top of reinforcing the border. but he doesn't. kjp does the farcical thing of blaming republicans for not financing the border. nobody buys that. >> they contradicted each other, right? she is saying one message and

last night when bret is interviewing him he is saying a different message. >> steve: hats off to bill melugin who essentially did a fact-check where john kirby just said like a million migrants have come in. what did kjp say in the back and forth. so the message from the white house, they got to get on the same page. if they are going to do this where people are walking through the iron curtain there on our southern border, they got to be on the same page. they are not. >> brian: just tell the truth. >> steve: we put together a little montage to show you what she has said and what the person who is running the department says. and it's different. watch. >> the claims that cbp is allowing or encouraging mass release of migrants and is just categorically false. that is not what is occurring. >> it's well more than a million per year. >> would it surprise you to hear the cbp sources say that currently they are releasing more than 70% of the migrants crossing every day. and sometimes more than that

number, higher than 70%. would that surprise you? >> it would not -- it would not surprise me at all. >> what we're seeing here at the border, the migration flow, increased migration flow certainly it, you know, it ebbs and flows. we are at a time of the year where we are seeing more at the border. and it's not unusual. >> the numbers are historic. the numbers are extraordinarily large. >> brian: one of the reasons they are extraordinarily large because if you come to the border right now under this administration and say i feel in peril in my country they say welcome to america. see you in nine years in court. feel free not to show. so that's the situation why everybody is coming from 140 countries, lawrence. >> lawrence: brian, she is also lying about the flow. said it goes up and down. >> brian: going up. >> lawrence: only research why it ever stops, a power shows up then suddenly the cartel is alerted and they stop the flow. or when the president finally went to the border in el paso,

packed three days before the president came there. and all of a sudden the streets were clear because someone in power is being there. i think for the people of texas. they live with this issue day to day. to suggest that it's going up and down is just ridiculous. >> steve: here's the thing. hats off to your home state governor of greg abbott. joe biden made a business decision. we are going to let as many people in as possibly can come in. >> brian: while denying it. >> steve: mayorkas said last night essentially the catch and release number is 75%. 75% of the people we see right there actually are living in toledo or they got through the border. but here's the thing. greg abbott said we don't want all the people in texas because we can't afford it. he started busing them to different places. suddenly it became a big story in a lot of sanctuary cities. now the pressure is on joe biden from democrats. not just mayors but also congressman. and senators from these

sanctuary states where they -- republicans might actually get a deal because joe biden is being pressured by the democrats for his own policy. not going to change the policy. >> lawrence: that's right. >> steve: just going to give the production more money. >> lawrence: biggest clue pressure of the administration is when you see -- we have been covering the border for a while, when you randomly see. >> steve: 20 years. >> lawrence: mayorkas is on fox news. you know it's a problem. they avoid this station all the time because they don't want to be held accountable. when you see him appear on bret baier for a hard -- for a hard hitting interview, you know 9 situation has come to a head. he has to do something. >> brian: couple of things, greg abbott in texas is getting sued. bus company getting sued because greg abbott is loading him up with illegal immigrants saying i want to go to new york. i'm going to sue you $700 million. good luck with that it's texas'

obligation to feed them and house them. no, it isn't. it is the federal government's obligation to take care of the border. number one. number two, is when they come here, they come here willingly. and why should it be texas' problem. arizonaens problem, even california's problem? this should be america's problem. and on top of that, on all of this, they are making real progress on the senate side with negotiation. they negotiated right through the holidays. only taking off christmas and christmas eve. and they are going to announce a framework, possibly monday or tuesday, and we will see if the house will buy into any of it. looks like, yeah, some type of compromise. it looks like on the border they are talking about asylum changes. so that's just it. stop coming here saying if i want -- because i'm having a hard time. you go to a different part of your country. don't come to our country if you feel in peril. >> ainsley: a lot of house republicans want to impeach mayorkas. they are going to be meeting ow -- those hearings will starts on january 10th.

coming up next week. >> lawrence: let's see what the people in texas think about that. nate, the great, our photog, hey, how are you doing, ma'am? did i just scare you? >> you did. >> lawrence: let's talk about the border. we have been talking about that all morning. >> couple hours? >> lawrence: i'm telling you i'm here all morning for you. they want to sue our governor, greg abbott over what is he doing at the border. how bad is it? >> it's the worse i have ever seen native texan. seven generation texan. to look at the border today to me is like trying to hurt us all. our social security money, our insurance, everything is going to people that aren't even from here. and it breaks my heart. it makes me mad. pay us back what you owe us. then give your money away. >> lawrence: what a novel idea. sir, how do you feel about the border? >> close it. we need trump back in office. close the border. it's a disaster.

it completely fell apart. everything that was built, they tore down. >> lawrence: ma'am, congress is working on a bill right now. do you think they are going to be able to come together to get something done? >> not from what i have seen them do so far. >> lawrence: who do you think is the best person currently running for president to solve the border crisis? >> trump. >> lawrence: okay. thank you, ma'am. one person i talked to is he a veteran served this country. u.s. navy, what do you think so about what is happening at the border currently? >> well, we have lived here for over 30 years, lawrence. and raised my two sons and they both are married. i have four grandkids. and i feel less safe, you know, i feel like we have had to have a lot of conversations about when i was in the navy. we would pull into ports and they talked about situational awareness. you have to be careful where you go. you always have to be watching who is around you, what's happening. able very aware of your

surroundings and i find that we're having to beef up our, you know, security and just the way we look at everything. i feel less safe. >> lawrence: such a good point. i think that's part of the growing thing. here in texas, we don't know who is coming here. the country doesn't know. they haven't been vetted. we already know over 50 people on the watch list. those are the people that they captured. that does not include the got-aways, guys. i will send it back to you guys in new york. >> steve: i like the slogan on the side just to the right of you. let me make you smile down there at eggs up grill in dallas. if people are watching and nearby stop by and maybe he will make you some flap jacks. >> ainsley: well to the show. let me entertain you and make you smile. >> brian: i love the nicknames emerging from diner appearance. they are really standing out. >> lawrence: this is what happens when you come to the south.

>> ainsley: very honest. and then we top it off with bless your heart. >> brian: bless your heart and make you smile. they did make me smile. twice. >> ainsley: thank you, lawrence. fox weather alert. nor'easter is on path to bring snow to cities that haven't seen snow in almost two years. >> steve: let's see if it pans out. ceos are saying see you later at a record pace. wife the great resignation? >> brian: and, the best time to eat dinner for your health, it might surprise you. and it might not. that is a generic family. they don't exist. ♪ (vo) if you have graves' disease, your eye symptoms could mean something more. that gritty feeling can't be brushed away. even a little blurry vision can distort things. and something serious may be behind those itchy eyes. up to 50% of people with graves' could develop a different condition called thyroid eye disease,

>> adam: welcome back. a fox weather alert tracking what could be the first major storm across the northeast. it feels like winter out here on fox square. who will ultimately see that winter weather though? we have 35 million folks nearly under some sort of winter weather alert. currently this is the system that is going to sweep across the country. as can you tell, big areas of rain. there are spots with a lot of ice, finally when it gets into new england this becomes a major snow maker and nor'easter. the ice potential stretches across portions of the southeast before ultimately becoming more of a snow concern there is the

graphic i want to focus on. further south along the i-95 corridor. d.c. to philadelphia you likely won't see a whole lot of snow. as you run a little further north and see all these pinks, that is where this becomes a big snow maker. i'm going to leave with you this graphic before i throw it back inside. that is new york city really right on the borderline there if you live upstate a little bit you are seeing a lot more snow. those are your weather headlines, for now, i'm tossing it back inside to you. >> brian: stay on top of it. talk about what is happening in war zones. now it a fox news alert. deadly american drone strike thursday in baghdad killed iranian backed militia leader. first known targeting of its kind by u.s. forces under this president. the move comes amid at least 120 attacks on american forces in the region since early october. here to react fox news senior strategic analyst retired four star general jack keane. general, my sense is when you heard about this you thought about time, am i right?

>> no doubt about it. the administration finally gave the military permission to take down their first iranian backed leader in this administration. something we should have done a long time ago. we have been attacking three years certainly as we have seen and you have reported daily here the tax increased and dramatically since the october 7th attack by hamas inside of israel. this is an attempt to restore deterrence. we have been talking about this for some time. despite the pressure. it will put on the iraqi government. who have inside parliament objection to troop presence. the administration deserves some credit or it. yeah, it's about time. i agree totally what you said. >> a. >> brian: couple days before looks like israelis took out key hamas leader in lebanon. it delayed secretary of state blinken's arrival there now is he going to head over there to

diffuse tensions. we gave the houthi rebels one last chance to knock it off to diffuse tensions. and they answered with an unmanned surface vessel attack. one of these water drones i guess you would say for civilians like me. your thought about what they just did and how it changes possibly commercial vessels in the region certainly houthis have disrupted the war disrupting trafficking red sea. are entry and exit point for the wouldsuez canal. going around the horn of africa going to impact the global supply chain and have an impact on the world economy. houthis, checkmark. they accomplished what they set out to do which is disrupt the world shipping through the suez canal. we have not stopped it. i don't believe we will stop it. just by defending ourselves. i think we have to go to the

source. take down the rockets, the missiles the infrastructure, the radar, the command and control. brian, we have got the capability to do that in a night or maybe two or three at the most if we took a more measured approach. as i said before, we keep ignoring the source which is iran. general mackenzie the general centcom commander has an excellent article in the "wall street journal" laying out why we need deterrence and why killing soleimani was so important and putting iranians back on their heels and we have to do more of that. we have to go to the source to recognize that they're directing they are supporting this. they are conducting a war in the middle east to drive the united states out and destroy israel. and they're using the proxies to do it. and we can't continue to ignore them. >> general, describe what you mean when you say the best way to stop the expansion of a war is show you're willing to attack

back? how is that mindset going to stop the expansion of this conflict if anything can? >> yeah, you have to achieve some kind of committees labor relation dominance here. what holds back the administration is the fear that if we take action, then that will escalate and will get out of control. walk up the ladder of escalation that will lead to war. history doesn't support that the reason they use proxies they don't want confrontation themselves with the united states. successful strategy since the reagan. took they took on iran directly. when they did it they stopped. doesn't mean stop initially but stop significantly what they are doing in my judgment as long as we sit back and keep ignoring.

iran doesn't care casualties. they will keep pushing them to be adepressive and that is going to continue. >> brian: pick up the instituted of the study of war. keeps you up to date what is happening in ukraine, iran and as well as israel. general, thank you so much. appreciate it. have a fantastic weekend. >> yeah, you guys too. thank you very much. >> brian: all around the hot spots across the country. coming up one nation #:00 on saturday. a lot of reasons to watch. tom cotton why he went out and endorsed donald trump. he was hesitant for a while not anymore. henry cuellar going to talking about the border. and republican perspective, too. fred smith, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in miss i have. founder of fedex in 173. talk about what we should worry about most in this upcoming year. also a decorated marine and jimmy failla great news he will be hosting the saturday night show to follow. if you want to see me on stage and who wouldn't, 2:00 on sunday, on the 22 # 1st, joey at illinois.

>> brian: back with a fox digital exclusive. you might have read this on

website. special counsel jack smith facing criticism as we learned prosecutor on his team discouraged the fbi from investigating the clinton foundation during the obama era. we are talking about 2016. brooke singman broke this story and has more. brook? >> that's right. a top prosecutor and special counsel jack smith's team actually discouraged the fbi from investigating the clinton foundation back in 2016. so this is ray hole zero we are talking about who at the time was the chief of the justice department public integrity section. he declined prosecution of the clinton foundation. that information was buried and former special counsel john durham's report. you will remember john durham was investigating why trump-russia probe was ever opened. so durham found that back in early 2016 three fbi field offices that was washington, new york you, and little rock all had already opened investigations into the clinton foundation but during a meeting at the justice department in

february 2016, hole zero told investigators that he felt the evidence to expand those probes was insignificant. fox has learned multiple suspicious activity reports or czars had actually been filed against the clinton foundation related to hundreds of dollars in foreign transactions. those transactions took place between 2012 and 2014. and you'll remember hillary clinton was secretary of state for a portion of that time period sars are what predicated the criminal investigation into hunter biden. a duty to fire them. up to the justice department if there is had any rattle. despite sars filings. sars says the evidence was deminimis at quote. holzer told durham that he made it clear that his decision was not binding on various u.s. attorneys offices or fbi field offices who were seeking to further those probes. now, these revelations come as some sajak smith's case and attempted prosecution of former president trump is political.

trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges in both smith's january 6th case and classified documents case. brian? >> brian: brook, has the trump camp seen this story? have they commented upon it. that's been as you just mentioned the accusation all along jack smith is on a mission to destroy trump, not find justice. >> he has pled not guilty to all of these charges across both of those cases. and the trump campaign has not publicly commented on this. we can reach out and find out what they have to say about it. of course i spoke with andy mccarthy a former federal prosecutor, fox news contributor and he said people really shouldn't be surprised that people that are on jack smith's team have been involved in some of these other cases. it does appear there is political bias when you are linking together. >> brian: there was a reason why perhaps merrick garland went to the hague to find him to bring him back here to go after trump. thank you so much. >> thanks, brian.

>> brian: over to ainsley. >> ainsley: waiting for the release of more jeffrey epstein court documents expected today. meanwhile that second batch of documents was unsealed in the ghislaine maxwell lawsuit now alleging that bill clinton tried to protect epstein. in the documents epstein reporter virginia g giuffre bill clinton walked into vanity fair and threatened them not to write articles against jeffrey epstein. here is lexie rigden. good see you again. >> good morning, ainsley, good to see you. >> ainsley: thank you. what was the most interesting information that came out of that second batch? >> i think what you just said about bill clinton. actually in an email. seems unlikely. i eyeballs on him. it's a cautionary tale that your momma probably told you when you are little you have to be careful how associate with.

obviously bill clinton hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing or donald trump or a lot of people. jeffrey epstein web of scandals by being named in these documents. >> ainsley: you are right. moms said birds of a feather. do you support unsealing the documents. list the name of people, epstein and ghislaine were at chelsea clinton's wedding. you don't want a pedophile at your daughter's wedding. but you are automatically associated with him even if you didn't do anything wrong. do you support the judge documents. >> her rationale it was kind of most of it was already public anyway and some reason that the public should be able to know about this. court documents are not private. usually they are public unless they need some type of

exception. might not have a legal basis to keep them sealed. we don't know the inside baseball. ultimately they are out. people objecting to their names coming out. unfortunately if they end up coming out later it calls more attention to it at this point what about prince andrew? he faces eviction from the king. >> i think he is the biggest loser in all of this. the allegations against him. he is one of the most famous people that have had allegations against him. he settled out of court with virginia giuffre didn't admit any wrong doing. paid a big price. back in the headlines after it seems he was regaining footing. we saw him walking with the family during christmas. now this is all back in the public eye and he has been accused of wrongdoing very strongly by the alleged victim virginia giuffre, so i think

that i heard more distancing royal family because of him. this keeps coming up. >> ainsley: lexy, thank you so much for weighing in on. this thanks, ainsley. >> ainsley: you are welcome have. a good weekend. >> ainsley: brian over to you. >> brian: wrap up really wild video headlines. juvenile suspect leading them on a h high-speed chase. looking at it and feeling it on the border. took them to custody after pulling off a pit maneuver which pushed the vehicle off the road. five illegal immigrants were also found in the car and referred to border patrol, dangerous. and take a look at this. a virginia town is forcing a tiktok stwar millions of views to stop digging an underground tunnel under her home. it's currently 22 feet deep. neighbors say they are worried about the impact of the unlicensed construction. kind of crazy and funny. i have concerns with whatever he it is doing. >> the dick tocker has spent

$50,000 on the project. now working to secure proper permits to continue. no word yet on what might be wrong with her. and the denver nuggets golden state warriors. look at this buzzer beater. >> clock particulars. going to put one up. for the win. oh, it's good! >> brian: that's why he is league mvp. getting emotional after hitting the game winning shot awesome. pretty impressive. i know one thing, i couldn't have done it. for more on that story. >> steve: brian, of course you could. come on don't sell yourself short. >> brian: i am better than him. no question. i just have a full-time job and i can't focus full time attention to the nuggets, therefore, i won't go pro. >> steve: pay attention to have the chicken nuggets not the team. much faster. >> ainsley: bank account for all of that. >> steve: indeed. the so-called great resignation, seemingly not just for young people, according to record

number, 1710 ceos left their job last year. that's up 51% since the year before and highest since tracking began in 2002. so what is driving this historic turnover. let's ask workplace expert and senior vice president challenger gray and christmas. i love the name of the company. andy challenger. good morning to you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> okay. so why are all the bosses leaving? >> i think there are a few reasons. they are related to covid. there were a lot of ceos that otherwise would have retired in the previous few years except they didn't want to abandon their ships in the middle of a 100 year storm. they are seeing them now leave their organizations a few years later. but we are also seeing make decisions about who the leaders are going to be. feel more comfortable. they have more certainty from this post covid beard what the world is going to look like to

bring in new, fresh leaders. seeing lots of external replacements over the past year. >> steve: right. and when you look at the various sectors. job sectors. the number one sector that lost people was governments and nonprofits followed by healthcare and then technology and hospitals. why are so many people getting out of government and nonprofits? yeah, that's a sector a lot of little companies, the numbers are really big particularly in the arts nonprofit area. people aren't going back to live shows like they did prior to covid and seeing lots of change there. healthcare is the same way. lots of consolidation. also a lessening of demand from that covid period and change in leadership. i was reading the book rise ever the robots that talks about the future and oimmigration. i'm sure have you read the book as well that's why so many lower

level people are being replaced by machines and automation and things like that. but we are always going to need bosses, aren't we? >> yeah. i think it's going to be pretty difficult for artificial intelligence to ever get to the point where we want to be having it give the orders to the entire organization i saw one company did this as a stunt to replace their ceo. i think long run there is always going to need to be real human beings leading companies. >> what company was it and how long did it last? >> i don't even remember. it was really a pr stunt. >> pr stunt we are talking about it later. andy, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thanks, thanks so much for having me. >> steve: you bet. coming up on this friday, marie osmond is going to join us. you are going to want to hear what she has to say. plus, it may just be a sweet treat to you but marshmallows

are helping cure coughs. have you ever heard of that one? dr. siegel has and he is going to tell us about that coming up next. hello, thumbs up. first, lawrence is down in dallas. talking to the folks and is he in the kitchen as well. ♪ >> lawrence: good morning, steve. the price of goods are going up. but we are still expected to pay a lot of taxes. ron desantis has a plan for that we are going to discuss it. but, first, we're going to have some donuts. all right, eggs up. ♪

>> brian: let me tell you reason to watch on friday edition. feeling like being judged while i do. this i don't know why. maybe internal engine. another epstein document dump. see if there will be more. something to do with bill clinton. see if there a third version. 3:15 eastern time. joe biden go to valley forge, pennsylvania really keeled for george washington. really cold he believes if donald trump gets to be the 47th president of the united states. he believes is he going to run on democracy in the balance. see how that goes. and donald trump will have a rally in iowa. the caucus just a week and a half away. is he way in front according to the polls. the polls are just a slights of

what the peel of iowa thinking could change their mind at the last minute. gotten word i have done quite well. thinking of doing quite well. that's what lawrence jones is doing. great time in dallas having breakfast with friends. hey, lawrence. >> good morning, brian. that's when we call an alley-oop. you set it up perfectly well. i want to bring you the feel. we were just talking about the irs. and he pitched his proposal yesterday. he wants to get rid of the irs. he also wants just a flat tax. you feel it's your thesis on this. in grad school. >> what do you think about this? >> i think the flat tax would be great. everybody is contributing their share. whether you make 50,000 or 100,000 or a million dollars a year. everybody as long as it's a reasonable flat tax. they may be 9%, 10%. you might even find out it could be lower. 6%, 7, 8%. if everybody is contributing their share. everybody would have skin in the
