gillian: the white house today is insisting that president biden takes classified intelligence very seriously. but political pressure on that claim is now mounting. new details emerge about the documents stashed at his house, his garage and his former office. welcome to fox news live here in washington, i'm gillian turner, bill, great to be with you. bill: great be with you. i'm bill melugin. in dc he's facing political fallout over classified

documents issue. lucas tomlinson from the white house, lucas, what is the reaction? >> well, bill, for days we have been hearing from republicans, they want to see this matter investigated fully and now some democrats are joining the course. >> i want the facts, i want the department of justice to be completely thorough, completely honest and i want -- >> we need to know who knew and when did they know and why did they chose to keep it secret for two months and before an election. lucas: two democratic senators facing tough campaigns also want to see matter investigated. manchin telling, quote, reports of mishandling documents are extremely irresponsible and disturbing. the allegations should be investigated fully. president biden spending time in beach other house in delaware. no documents discovered in that

place unlike wilmington home. sent a letter to biden's director of na of na of nationag similar assessment. quote, this discovery of classified information would put president biden in potential violation of laws protecting national security including the espionage act and presidential records act. those entrusted with access to classified information have duty and obligation to protect it. >> i think you will find there's nothing there. i have no regrets. i'm following what the lawyers have told me, they want me to do. it's exactly what we are doing. there's no there there. lucas: the white house press secretary karine jean-pierre ignored questions from our colleague jacqui heinrich who was hoping to follow up in the briefing room, bill. bill: lucas, gop members want security assessment when it comes to these documents, are they going to get it, what are

we hearing? lucas: director of national intelligence is performing same damage assessment with documents taken from mar-a-lago and so far no word from the director of national intelligence on this matter, bill. bill: we will have to see what happens next as the story continues to change by the week, lucas, thank you for the live report. gillian: more on this, let's bring in washington times opinion editor fox news contributor charlie hurt. thank you for taking time this afternoon. >> hey, gillian. always a pleasure. gillian: the white house and the president himself said actually that he takes managing the secrets classified documents seriously but this week as you saw lucas' report, he doesn't have any regrets, can both of those things be true? >> that's a tough one and it's particularly does not fit with the white house strategy across the board to sort of down canplay all of the revelations

even as more and more revelations pile up and we realize just how unseriously apparently president biden has taken the classified documents. but also the other thing that is really important to lack at right here is as republicans press for damage assessment, i think that they should. i think that's perfectly appropriately. what we are seeing right now as -- as difficult as it was and as narrow as it was for republicans to take control of the house, we are seeing the tremendous value of taking control of the house even if it's only by a handful of seats that republicans have control of the house because regardless they get damage assessment as they want, they have the authority, the power to hold hearings and do oversight that is perfectly appropriate, in fact, it's incumbent upon them to get into all of this. and obviously, you know, politicians are going to make

political hay out of things but it's also kind of their job and part of their responsibility and also probably helps them politically as they are doing it. gillian: let's take a look at exhibit a. here is a photo of then vice president biden standing in the oval office holding what you can see there is a classified, a code ward classified document that refers to one of the nation's most sensitive secrets. he's not supposed to be photographed carrying classified information, nobody is. it violates national security policy. the presidential records management act. do you think anyone on capitol hill knows that or cares? >> i think that we are probably going to get a crash course in all of these rules over the coming months and that's politics and i think it's probably beneficial for -- for everybody involved. but i think you also put your finger on another point that is very important here. a huge difference between, we talk about the difference between president trump and president biden, the big difference here is these

documents came out of the obama administration where joe biden was not president and that's a very significant thing because -- and i also kind of think it's interesting that former president obama has not been pressed on this. you know, did he give joe biden permission to take these documents out of his administration? we know the answer to that. but it is worthwhile sort of checking off those boxes. vice president biden had no authority whatsoever to take any of these documents out of the obama administration hard stop. gillian: no argument there. like president trump has put forth the presidents have this sort of near mythical presidential prerogative that allows them to magically just by thinking about it declassify documents. maybe a better baseline question for former president obama is do you approve of the manner in which it turns out your vice president has been handling the nation's secrets? >> exactly. exactly. although i wouldn't hold your breath. i don't think he will be asked

about that any time soon. gillian: well, unless he encounters a fox news reporter, then you never know. >> there you go. i think you should ask him. you need to get him on here and grill him on it. gillian: we would love to have the former president on. this is a formal invitation. charlie, we will leave it there. thank you for taking time with us. >> great to see you. bill: turning now to the crisis at our southern border, you are looking at live images from fox flight team in eagle pass where you can see griff jenkens getting ready to go live. migrant encounters surging at record-breaking pace with cpb officials confirming listen to this, more than a quarter million migrants crossed in the u.s. in december. the most ever reported in a single month. doesn't even count got aways by the way. national correspondent griff jenkins on the ground, griff, 20 days into january on a friday

evening, the december numbers finally drop. interesting, isn't it? griff: bill, it would make you think the administration doesn't want you to know that and doesn't defend their own policies that led us to these numbers. you stood here many times before. let me take you with the sky drone just behind me here under the port of entry in eagle pass across piedras negras, mexico, a couple of families have just arrived in the last 30 minutes. one from ecuador, the other from colombia, 3 small children with the colombian family, but let's get right into these numbers because you mentioned it a quarter of a million 251,487 for december of which 49,405 were title 42 expelled. that means that 200,000 plus were released in the month of december in the u.s. that is enough to fill the 49ers-cowboys game tonight in

san fran stadium 3 times bill and that's why agents are so upset about this. let me show you the other number and that's 717,660. fiscal year to date since fiscal year began on october 1st. in literally 113 days, 7,717,000 -- roughly 7800 migrants a day. congressman cuellar democrat that represents border district says border agents have had enough. listen to here. >> if you talk to any border patrol, they would tell you that the law of consequence, sending back people that are not doing this correctly, without that consequence, they are not going to be able to do the work. they are tired, they are very tired. i've talked to border patrol agents and we have to do something stronger. griff: as we are talking about title 42, take a look at drone footage we have put together, bill. you have seen this before,

literally you have title 42 migrants being sent back, a dozen on the bridge and another group arriving underneath the bridge just from crossing the river, about 20, it is literally a revolving door, the migrants call it puerta, revolving door, this is what this this is. final piece of video to show you, you're full aware of this. it's like an amazon delivery i've been saying, large group coming every morning here. this is a group of about 50 from the countries of colombia, cuba, dominican republic and ecuador, all a part of this crisis that is doing anything but getting under control and those got aways, you had 278,000 this fiscal year. that number is the number border officials don't want us talking about it but we are going to do it as you i and the other correspondents try and put a light on this crisis. bill. bill: griff, 70,000 of those got aways in december allen, stunning numbers. i want to talk about the got-aways a little more.

if we can pull up video. this is video we host last year. the got-aways are hard to get on camera. they don't want to be caught. chaimbing over the border scaling the wall and go running off into the desert, never caught by border patrol. these are the got-aways. think of the numbers, 70,000 in the single month of december. griff, my question to you, our viewers aren't at the border, they hear the big numbers, well, border control they caught 250,000 people, as a reporter talk about what you see down there, when you're driving to a live location, you will see people in come flange running across the road, you will see them sneaking through the brush, just talk about what you see down there when it comes to got aways? >> well, it's not just me or you as correspondent, the residents here in eagle pass and along the border towns from del rio over to mcallen, in la joya, they talk about seeing migrants literally loading up in vehicles

on the smaller highways and, of course, the high-speed chases that endangered the residents. i have witnessed since i have been here for two weeks at least a half of dozen high-speed chases imperilling a lot of people. multiple bailouts, cars crashing and the got-aways, that is what we have. our charman ed solís in rgv all week long has been running with the texas dps brush unit, they are the ones that go in and find the got-aways. you know, it's importantic to point out in our reporting as well that got aways don't get away but for the smugglers and the cartels that are doing these very sophisticated operations to try and evade the border control officials who are otherwise busy having to transport and process these asylum seekers that are coming in the massive numbers and one final number you pointed out in the last hour so very important, 17 individuals hit

the terrorist screening database. 38 on the fiscal year. those are the ones that we know. what about those that are in the got-aways, anybody's guess, that's the frightening part. gillian: griff, this is gillian here, something fairly astonishing at least to me that i learned from bill's reporting and your reporting is just how many countries across the world these folks come from. i was not aware that they were traveling from as far away as east africa to get to the southern border. griff: well, that's right, and since i have been here i met just a few days ago 3 migrants from west africa, one was from sinegal and two from ginue basal and on thursday they put out 6-day report in just six days they had migrants from 79 different countries in just this sector. and you do have people from all over. since i've been on the ground,

migrants from russia, from china, from yemen, from syria and from iraq and that's a part of the story that really doesn't get hold because the large numbers are from either central america or from countries like venezuela and ecuador, cuba and haiti with which the administration has this new policy to accept some 30,000 a month from those countries but i don't know, there's really no indication that it's slowing down the message, the rest of the world, gillian, has heard from the last two years and that is contrary to what the administration says, this border is open, that's why they are coming from every place in the world. bill: and griff, very last question to you. we have seen the last couple months in a row, friday-night news drops with the stunning and historic record-setting border numbers. the last time they did it was the friday night going into christmas weekend. in your opinion, if the administration was proud of their border efforts, wouldn't they want to broadcast the numbers and show what they are doing? why do they keep dropping this

at dead cycle of the news cycle? griff: you know, that's a great question, bill, and i couldn't speak to the motivation for why they aren't being as transparent as the rest of the american people would like to be particularly after the president made a visit at the border although he saw no migrants. i will say this, we get the numbers as we broker the quarter million number with our sources last week here on this show. i went to the administration and said get the number out there. let's talk about it. here we go and yet they still held it a week to drop it at the end of the month. we will see if the numbers will get out earlier in january but one thing is for sure, the reporting we have done on this network and others that have started to pick up on this crisis perhaps as we talk about it more in and the republicans on the house will put spotlight, there will be more transparency because that's what the american people want. what is happening here is

humanitarian crisis and national crisis and deserves the administration's attention first and foremost. bill: spot on, griff. we know from our sources that the administration knows numbers long before they are released because they often get leaked to us. griff, live at the border for us. fantastically work. gillian: thanks, griff. million dollar question in washington about the political calendar for next year is whether president biden will or will not run. our political panel has their predictions coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> i think we are off to a pretty good start. >> i think we are off to a great start. >> hard to believe it's been two years? >> just remember where we started and all that was happening in our country and i think the thing that has motivated us is the resilience, the determination of the american people. >> they stuck with us. bill: you hear there president biden and vice president harris celebrating two years in office even as approval rating lingers in record low. for more on this we will bring political panel, davis, jonathan cott, joe manchin communications director and capital partner.

jonathan, we will start with you, you heard president biden and vp harris talking. >> i've been through four presidents when i was working in the senate. this is the most successful legislative presidency of the first two years. he's gotten so much done and i know it's done maybe in a boring and not theatrical way that donald trump used to. let's remember he came in during the height of covid, our economy was in collapse, people were staying home, people were worried that they were going to die and could they send kids to school. that has all turned around and has a lot of experience to this because when he came to vp he was coming right after economic collapse. he has done what he told the american people what to do and i think they will reward him in

2024. bill: i'm guessing that you disagree, ashley. >> i do. we have candidates that are eager to take president biden and even though that this is going to be an exciting campaign trail, the last time the president ran 3 years ago he's obviously 3 years older, campaign from basement. it's a different campaign. whoever become the republican nomination very eager to be on the campaign trail and taking on the policies of the obama administration, talking about inflation still being at 6.5% and also the usda actually said this week that grocery prices will continue to go up. so i don't think americans feel their life is better the last two years and i haven't touched on the scandals, whether it is the new documents that they found but also the republican house starting to interview and look at what the biden administration has done in their policies and maybe their illegal policies in the past two years. bill: president trump is the

only one that announced, nikki haley might throw her name in the ring. how are you feeling about the 2024 race right now if it's essentially going to be a biden versus trump rematch? >> i feel great about it. i would donate money and volunteer on donald trump's campaign if that would help him run against joe biden because i think joe biden will beat him just like he did the last time because he has list of accomplishments to run on. he can literal i will go downtown to town and say i helped do this and did that and a lot of ribbon cutting from the infrastructure bill and he can stand in front of school, hospital and say i helped make this better for you. donald trump i think as we have seen is just going to be airing grievances. i feel pretty confident about this. bill: ashley, democrats say they want to run against trump

because biden beat him in 2020. is president trump the best chance republicans have or are you hoping somebody else jumps into the ring like desantis or nikki haley? >> we have obviously nikki, desantis, but i feel like we have other governors and former senators, former cabinet members like pompeo that are going to jump in. i think that president trump has lost some of his startum over the last few years since last election but we have good candidates that are willing to take him on and take him on in a primary and you see that happening and i think you will see that next with nikki haley. bill: controversial topic in virginia. real quick if we can pull up soundbite her mother was affected by this and the kids didn't get certain scholarships, they are having to pay for more.

>> that fall, my son had gotten commended student award, they kept it a secret from me and he is now a sophomore in college. i'm paying out of state tuition. i'm on the payment plan, you know, as a single man, minority mom, i want to make this real for people. this isn't, you know, just equity policy without dabbling. bill: apparently affected upwards of 1,000 students and the schools apparently paid an equity consultant $450,000 for nine months of work, what is equitable about denying these students the recognition that they've earned? >> nothing. i hope they have another $458,000 to give to her and any other parents that were wronged by this. it's horrible that a school would do this. the kids worked so hard to get these awards and college is so expensive. we need to address and the fact

that mother has to go out of pocket and i hope he sues and gets a ton of money and the kid gets recognition that he deserves along with others. >> this is a story that makes my blood boil as well. this is why candidate youngkin is governor youngkin, you have group of elite administrators are making decisions for all of the students, whether it's critical race theory, extreme covid policies and now deciding when merit scholars can be told with the people that actually won them and you already have and we will see what the attorney general comes up with, 3 school districts and 16 schools and i can't imagine what's going to come out but i'm so happy that the attorney general and the governor are taking this on. bill: real quick and we will wrap it up. let's take a look at lieutenant governor. >> i can't imagine that this is what's happening in our schools in virginia. 17 schools when we were told,

oh, don't worry about it it's just one school and here we have schools that are withholding information that are crucial to a child's success, we are talking about free tuition and recognizing achievement, my, god, when did that become controversial? bill: evidently the school districts did this because they wanted the schools who didn't receive the awards to in the feel bad the 3 of us were talking. not a single one of us got a merit award in high school but we looked up to the students who did. we weren't angry for them for it. final thoughts, 20 seconds each. >> it should give sophomores and juniors something to aspire, this is something that we should be celebrating and not hiding. >> i don't think a group of elite individuals should be deciding whose feelings are going to get hurt and whose aren't. it's unfair to them and that's what the attorney general is looking into. was this a racist issue.

bill: the governor trying to pass legislation to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. gillian. gillian: thousands of tech workers are out of a job, analysts say jobs cuts are in the horizon. tech layoffs coming up next. tr tech layoffs coming up next. tr ♪ ♪n ♪

bill: welcome back, yet another awave of tech downsizing, alphabet slashing 12,000 jobs this week. 200,000 since the start of 2022. joining us live with more on this alexandria hoff, that's a lot of jobs that just evaporated. >> that's exactly right. more cuts are anticipated. with that you are hearing more of the phrase white-collar recession. companies like amazon, microsoft, google or alphabet

are trying to compensate for overhiring during the pandemic. that's at the core of this. ceo sandar pijay sent out memo laying audiotape staff, we have seen periods of dramatic growth. we hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today. the tech industry is in the midst of a recession plainly speaking. the white house, though, is pushing back on concerns that this signals the rest of the economy is heading for one. >> leading analysts have publicly stated that they do not believe the recently offs in tech industries are indicative of trends in the economy. we certainly watch that very closely. alex: u.s. job growth as a hold remains solid w but beginning to

soften. that's the smallest gain in two years. now google says they will continue to pay laid off staff for 60 days. they will make good on bonuses, offer six months of health care gillian: more of layoffs across the tech industry and beyond let's bring macro trend advisers, mitch roschelle. sorry for botching that, mitch. we all know where you are and what you do. we appreciate you being on with us this afternoon. i think the reality is you well know that the layoffs are extending far beyond just the tech sector. analysts are talking now about this reality or the looming reality, the big corporations are betting there's going to be a recession this year?

mitch: goldman sachs and big financial firms have talked about layoffs amidst of fourth quarter earnings. if you step back a recent survey at the world economic forum accounting firm pwc, this is over 4,000 ceo's said that 75% of them believe that there's an economic slowdown looming some say recession and others economic slowdown. i think what's happening is these companies are trying to get ahead of this. normally companies get very reactive. the economy slows down and earnings fall and they start laying off people as a result. if anything, the last two and a half, 3 years has taught businesses to be incredibly resilient. they know that there's economic head winds and they are laying off workers to get ahead of it. gillian: let's talk energy. the administration is hope to go one day refill the strategic petroleum reserve, crucial supply that historically helps

shield american from global supply crisis. according to energy experts now, though and the department of energy itself president biden withdrew 250 million barrels back in 2022. he left it at 39-year low. this is what he committed to the american people back in december, listen. >> today i'm announcing a plan to refill the strategic petroleum reserve and the united states is going to purchase oil to refill strategic petroleum reserve when prices fall to $70 a barrel. bill: we are a long way off from that 70-dollar a barrel. seventy-nine dollars a barrel. i don't know if we have the full screen from the department of energy, mitch, but they just said this, they say we will only select bids for resupplying oil that is a good deal for

taxpayers. they then announced they are not moving forward with the plan to start repurchases in february. that's a pretty big blow to the biden plan. mitch: right, so we are not filling the strategic emphasis on the word strategic petroleum reserve because we lo do so potentially at a loss and break-even point or profit point is $70 a barrel and we are far from that. the actual profit when we sold the barrels from the reserve they were probably buttered $40 a barrel by the previous administration and hard to fill up and the one thing i say about oil, gillian, as china's economy begins to reopen and certainly happening and they are big consumer of oil -- oil products globally, that could drive the price of oil up further. so we may not see that magical 70 $a barrel price for a while. which means when we do fill up petroleum reserve it's colorado

taxpayers money. gillian: not having the strategic reserve is the new normal for americans, do we need to get used to that or what? mitch: so i think it needs to be filled up and i actually worry if we don't have enough domestic supply to fill it up, i worry where we will fill it up from. gillian: saudi arabia, venezuela. only the best. mitch: right, a lot of bad actors out there that we could potentially be strategically filling up our reserve with at a loss. gillian: mitch, we have to leave it there. great to talk to you as always. mitch: as always, happy new year. gillian: you too, bill. bill: gillian 5 escaped inmates from missouri are all back behind bars we can report after they evaded capture for several days. officials say 5 men escaped from the county jail in farmington,

gillian: actor alec baldwin is facing involuntary manslaughter, the prosecution expected -- the production on the film is expected to resume this month.

alexis mcadams has new details. alex: right now alec baldwin faces 6 and a half years in prison if he is convicted of the very serious charges and baldwin was spotted just in the past few days here in new york city as he is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter. he didn't want to be spotted but the cameras got to him. facing charges of the death of cinematographer, criminal disregard for safety in this case. the shooting happened back in october of 2021 in movie set in santa fe, new mexico. the pictures were taken after the fatal shooting, you can see baldwin on the phone. he was pointing pistol at halyna hutchins. hutchins was killed, wife and mom. family seeking justice and prosecutors determined baldwin

did pull trigger. >> i didn't pull the trigger. >> you never pulled the trigger. >> no, no, i would never pull a trigger and point gun. on day one of my instruction in this business people said to me, never take a gun and go, click, click, even though it's incremental you damaging the firing pen on the gun, don't do that. >> it appears that you have evidence that contradicts this claim, do you? >> yes, we do. and we definitely believe that he pulled the trigger. the fbi lab report confirms that, so definitely the trigger was pulled. alex: from the special prosecutor saying the trigger was pulled. baldwin attorney saying that mro believe there was a live bullet in the gun or anywhere in the movie set lying to professional assuring that it didn't have any live rounds. gillian: thank you. bill. bill: well, gillian, a whole lot

of tenacles to the story. he essentially said, i don't know whose fault this is but i know it's not my fault. is that a statement that is going to be helpful to him in this case? >> it is because, let's not forget and the actors have sported him. we have an armor who whose responsibility to make sure the gun has no bullets in it. the armor hands the gun to david hall who is the associate director who hands the gun to alec baldwin. alec baldwin is not supposed to open the gun and make sure there are blanks in it. he's in title to rely on the people who are supposed to do their job. it's going to be a tough sell by the prosecutor and i do think that the statement that i don't know whose fault it is who is not mine rings true because it's not the actor's responsibility

to make sure other people do their job. bill: rich, it is the actor's responsibility, you don't point it at anybody or anything that you're not willing to potentially kill or inflict serious injury on. that's the first thing they teach you once you buy a gone whether it's loaded or not loaded. i understand alec baldwin is saying he didn't pull the trigger. let's take a listen to the soundbite one more time. we don't have the soundbite but he's claiming repeatedly that he never pulled the trigger on the gun but the gun it's a single action resolver, it does not fire unless the finger is on the trigger. that's confirmed by an fbi's examination of the weapon as well. so he does have a responsibility when you have a gun in your hand, don't point it at anybody or anything that you're in the willing to hurt or kill, is that not right? >> that's absolutely right. that's the prosecutor's whole argument. the argument is you do not aim a gun at anyone. if, in fact, alec baldwin is sitting there, he has right to rely on individuals who are

supposed to do their jobs, gutiérrez reed, he's practicing the scene or doing something that is going to be shot in the immediate future, his argument is, while one should not do that, i had to do it for the scene and i was just getting myself ready for the escape. listen he obviously pulled the trigger and he was wrong about that. those words will come -- may come back to haunt him in front of the jury but it's hard. the standard in criminal cases is very hard. they have to show beyond a reasonable doubt that alec baldwin was negligent, negligent committed homicide. it's a tough sell. you're right. the big argument here, you don't aim a gun at anyone and pull the trigger and that's what the prosecutor is going onto try to convict him. bill: i want to ask about the post alec baldwin tweeted. huntington beach, i wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill

someone. it's interesting to read given the horrible action. what's your reaction to read at that and what's going through baldwin's mind now that is in that position? >> he's no longer wondering. hayl na hutchins, a mother, a wife, a young woman had a wonderful career ahead of her is gone. so alec alec baldwin is intereg he said that in 2017. he is going every night that he killed her. he will have to live with it the rest of his life. bill: final thought. >> it's tough to charge him. i believe actors are entitled to rely on people who support them. whether somebody gives me a mic, do i have to test a mic. somebody gives me a car that is

supposed to have fake bomb in it. the problem with the scene is not only that he pulled the trigger is that there were bullets all over the place. why bullets were all over the place in an act is crazy? a lot of problems in the scene. i don't think they will convict but there's been a lot of pressure to indict alec baldwin which they have done. >> everybody in the country entitled to a fair trial so we will see what happens. rich roth, thank you so much for joining us, you can talk to you. gillian. gillian: basic staples like bread and meat have been hit hard by inflation by the spiking cost of eggs in the u.s. is leading to egg smuggling along the southern border. we will have the details next. ♪ ♪ ♪
