>> i just recently exposed myself to country music. i didn't know real country. >> ainsley: what do you think? >> i always listen to "life is a highway." travis tritt exposed me to other artists. i accidentally said i hated country music on twitter and travis tritt sent me a message and gave me a list. i like the old-school vibe. >> ainsley: travis tritt sings "member of a country club." >> i haven't heard that yet. >> ainsley: i like that old -- from a dixi.e. cup, making fun of a country club, not refined.

>> okay. >> ainsley: we do our drinking from a -- an old song, like when i was in third grade. my friend and i memorized the whole thing and we sent it to travis tritt. i never heard back. >> brian: dm'ing him. >> ainsley: now you are dm'ing him. >> brian: we are going to do "fox and friends" musical and now you see why. going to sing it -- >> ainsley: we won't sell tickets, it will be fun. turn to news to washington. declassified fbi document is detailing stunning claims by an informant that alleges president biden was involved in a multi million dollar bribery scheme. >> the white house is strongly denying the claims. >> brian: lucas tomlinson will break it down. what are we to believe? >> lucas: this might be as eye-opening as oppenheimer

movie. $10 million bribery scheme for hunter biden and joe biden. the informant said, don't worry, hunter will take care of the issues through his dad. the informant met with the head of burisma after president biden talked about the -- being corrupt. he didn't want to pay the bidens, he was pushed to pay them and coerced to make payments. asked why they wouldn't hire someone with more experience, he replied, quote, hunter biden was stupid, my dog was smarter, burisma hired hunter to protect us through his dad from

problems. the informant is a ukrainian informant. the fbi releases this information puts the safety of the person at risk. the white house responding, it is remarkable republicans going after president biden regardless of truth continue to push claims that have been debunked for years. house oversight committee chairman james comer says this fbi information backs up his committee's investigation into the biden family business dealings and that song was played on july 4 at the tomlinson household. the country music song from travis tritt. we were visiting nashville and went to a country club and played that on the way. >> ainsley: awesome, i love that. >> brian: was it a working vacation? lucas tomlinson going to see my brother-in-law. >> brian: next hour, i want

pictures. >> ainsley: that is one of lawrence's best friends now. travis tritt, y'all are tight. chuck grassley released that 1023 and he wrote on twitters, i've been working on getting this from the fbi for a year, you can read it yourself. >> brian: here is the problem, where you lose me. the 1023, they told us didn't exist, what are you talking about? we're concerned it will give the wrong impression. excuse me? you had a highly credible informant talk about the vice president of the united states possibly taking a bribe. we haven't run it down yet. william barr said, i did run it down and sent to the pittsburgh office and they made progress and they left office. now grassley says, i will let this out. >> ainsley: here it is, if you want to see it, the 1023 does exist and it has been redacted, you sue the black marks, you

don't know the name of the informant. >> lawrence: to build on what brian said, now they are talking about the safety of the witness. put him in witness protection. are you actually conducting an investigation into this matter? so much double speak and one man is saying what the department of justice is saying something, mayor garland, under mayor garland leadership and wray is saying something different. the investigation lead is saying something different than the irs. put them all in the room at the same time, let them face each other and show us the document going through the timeline. >> ainsley: he highlighted some of it. chief financial officer of burisma said, they hired hunter biden to protect us through his dad from problems. head of burisma said, don't worry, hunter will take care of the issues through his dad.

cost $5 million to pay one biden and $5 million to pay another biden. the head of burisma said hunter biden was stupid and his dog was smarter, he needed hunter biden on the board so efrg would be okay. he was pushed to pay the bidens. he says he has many text messages and recordings involving the bidens. two included joe biden and the remaining 15 recordings only included hunter biden. where are these recordings? love to hear them. >> brian: the cfo bragged he cov covered himself. the cfo came out and said, why don't you handle this yourself because the lawyer, excuse me, the judge, that joe biden fired, prosecutor looking into burisma. we have to defend ourselves.

spend $50,000. i have to spend 5 million on one biden and 5 million on the other biden, that is supposed to take care of this problem. if you fast-forward, put the puzzle together yourself, the vice president goes to ukraine and says, i told this guy, fire the judge prosecutor in six hours or you will not get your billion dollars. fired the guy and left the 5 billion there. >> ainsley: 1 billion, american taxpayer dollars. i will give you american money if you fire this prosecutor going after the head of burisma and my son is on the board. >> brian: he has u.s. dollars handing out, i will give you billion dollars, personally delivering aid. what is this? 1910? talking about billion dollars, transferred and one more thing, barack obama gave him the ukrainian portfolio, so he was

working it and was told, handle ukraine. it is a complex place and everybody is like, he is corrupt and rudy giuliani got caught in the cortex, this has nothing to do with rudy giuliani. >> lawrence: why does it matter? how did it affect the last election. this is what they recollected in the closed door meeting, somebody from twitter asked whether the laptop was real and one of the fbi folks on the call confirmed, yes, it was, before another participant jumped in and said no further comment. who was that participant? >> ainsley: did barack obama know he was going to burisma and this was happening behind the scenes, i'm giving you american taxpayers to fire this prosecutor. >> brian: that i don't know, do you remember context of text messages saying joe biden, who lost his son bo, how bad it

looks and his dad has portfolio for ukraine and they essentially said, in the middle of grieving his son. do you want to get involved, last year of administration, do you want to put your foot down and they let it go. if i'm barack obama and i'll play naive, you would be furious saying, i'm asking this guy to do his job and he's out there doing double dealing in china and romania, with moscow mayor and in ukraine. >> ainsley: lining his pockets. >> brian: i don't see a link to the president and vice president. >> lawrence: this is why you can't get tricked with the notion of the liberal media. this was just a father's love and he was recovering. no, this is a father's business partner, has nothing to do with it just being his son. all in the messages. 5 million to both of the bidens, each one. text messages back and forth. everybody gets involved in the crack pipes and that looks bad.

this is the president, vice president at the time, doing business with his son. >> brian: if you make $5 million, you got to pay taxes. >> lawrence: where is the money and what is the business? >> ainsley: the irs says 17 million. we asked ron desantis about this. >> my fear is biden will hideout in his basement like he did in 2020 and get away with it again. we know when we get in there, we will have to end weaponization of government, you will have a new fbi director with me on day one, you will see the doj house cleaning, it will be a single -- >> ainsley: what about christopher wray, you supported him in 2017. >> i was supporting donald trump's position. i didn't know who christopher wray was. clearly he's failed the fbi fbi, the culture is destructive. you need a leader to go in there

and clean house. >> ainsley: republicans weren't the majority in the house, we wouldn't know any of this. >> brian: they barely have the majority, hard time holding on because new york is redistricting and new york and lee zeldin helped deliver the house, lee zeldin brought republicans to the polls. the senate does look better for republicans right now. >> ainsley: carley has headlines. >> carley: good morning, florida police are searching for a man and woman believed to being involved in a brawl at a movie theater this month. male suspect caught on camera punching another man after dispute over reserved seat. other folks stepping in to try to stop the violence. the victim was hospitalized for injury to head and face. and suspended for scolding a

>> lawrence: he doesn't want to talk about it. >> brian: my dogs hated it, i got it to bring the dogs down and they panicked, nothing to do with moving car. >> ainsley: brian said biggest mistake was, i'm going to drive this big thing, you hang out in the back. he thought they would be able to walk up and talk to him. he wanted one with the front two seats. s the family is having fun in the back and he was driving cross-country. >> brian: i was all by myself. >> ainsley: he couldn't get in the winnebego to get his family, his son had to go through the window. >> brian: and open the door from the outside. i just told that to ainsley in confidence. >> lawrence: with the millions watching. joey jones having breakfast with friends live at georgia family restaurant in dayton, ohio.
