thursday, january the 18th. steve: all right. here s where we are starting. border backlash, more than a dozen democrats now speaking out against top democrat joe biden s border policies. what s that about? well, one democrat is turning the table on republicans in the meantime, calling on them to push to remove the statue of liberty. what? ainsley: brian, that s when you say ugh! brian: ugh! ainsley: ron desantis moving campaign workers to south carolina but insists he is not done making his case in new hampshire. we went to south carolina and knocked out a couple of events and did what we planned to do in new hampshire. that was caricature to skipping new hampshire when it wasn t. brian: no, it shows he is fighting another day regardless of how new hampshire comes out. and he ll be back after being detained. while arnold schwarzenegger was held by customs for hours at munich airport according to some located in germany. the second hour of fox & friends starts r
taking trump down. today, he gets it. so will his campaign be more focused on the presidency or the former president. and the destruction of a major dam in southern ukraine floods the front lines. releasing millions of gallons of water and turning entire towns into lakes. as bad as it is, the worst may be yet to come. we ll have a live report from ukraine in just a minute. but we start with an intriging mystery surrounding the investigation into donald trump and his handling of classified documents. we re now learning that a second grand jury has been hard at work down in florida in addition to the one in d.c. according to the new york times, they already heard from one witness, with at least one more slated for later this week. but we don t know who the witnesses are, who the target might be or why that second grand jury was empanelled. and we ll still learning new details about the high stakes, highly unusual meeting between special counsel jack smith and trump s three
