the kennebunkport home former president george h.w. bush who attended. i'm sure there was a lot of joy all around. congratulations to the whole family. thanks for joining us, everyone. i'm dana perino. here is shep smith. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast. 3:00 in washington where justice brett kavanaugh now sits on the supreme court but the nasty fight over his confirmation is carrying over into the midterms. democrats using it as a rally cry. but president trump says it's gospel candidates who will get a boost. >> i think a lot of democrats are going to be voting republican on november 6th. >> mr. president -- >> plus folks on the gulf coast bracing for hurricane michael. forecasters say it could make landfall in the florida panhandle as the dangerous major category 3 storm. we have the latest on michael's track, including when and where our meteorologist expects it to strike. plus, secretary of state mike pompeo claims north

korea has agreed to let in nuclear inspectors. so, is kim jong un getting serious about denuking or is this just more smoke and mirrors? let's get to it. >> now, shepard smith reporting, live from the fedex news deck. >> shepard: good monday arch from the fox news deck. judge brett kavanaugh is now justice kavanaugh. the fight over his supreme court confirmation is not over yet. republicans and democrats are using the kavanaugh confirmation or the controversy surrounding it as a rallying cry for the midterm elections just 29 days away. the president says justice kavanaugh was caught up in a hoax that was set up by the democrats. >> i think you are going to see a lot of things happen on november 6th that would not have happened before. >> mr. president. >> the american public has seen this charade, has seen this dishonesty by the democrats.

>> shepard: the democrat senator mazie hirono from hawaii says her colleagues need to focus on getting control of congress. >> and i said to the women who are justifiably angry but determined i said they should focus like a laser beam on the elections because they have connected the dots. they know the senators who are making these confirmation decisions are the people elected by their voters. >> shepard: a deeply divided senate confirmed justice kavanaugh 50 to 48 on saturday in the closest vote to put a supreme court justice on the bench since 1881. at the center was dr. dr. christine blasey ford. she accuses justice kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a party three decades ago when both were teenagers. the supreme court nominee denied the accusation and other claims of sexual misconduct. now, justifiable kavanaugh sits on the highest court in the land with a chance to shape america's legal system

for generations to come. our chief white house correspondent john roberts is live this afternoon on the north lawn, hi, john. >> shep, good afternoon to you. the president is on board air force one returning from orlando, florida where tonight 7:00 eastern here behind me at the white house he will officiate over the ceremonial swearing in of justice kavanaugh a short time ago in orlando addressing the international association of the chiefs of police. the president tore a strip off of democrats for how they handled the confirmation proceedings for judge kavanaugh. listen here. >> very, very unfair for what happened to him. false charges. false accusations. horrible statements that were totally untrue, that he knew nothing about. frankly terms that he probably never heard in his life. he was this. he was that he never heard of these terms was a disgraceful situation. brought about by people that are evil. and he toughed it out. >> a lot of evil being

thrown around in association with kavanaugh. don't forget cory booker said that kavanaugh himself was embracing evil. as you pointed out at the top here, shep, both sides trying to gain political advantage from the democrats. some democrats suggesting if their hand control of the house they will launch a further investigation into judge kavanaugh's background and potentially pursue impeachment proceedings against him. i asked the president about that in the south lawn this morning as he was headed for marine one. listen here. >> i have been hearing that now they are thinking about impeaching a man that did nothing wrong, a man that was caught up in a hoax that was set up by the democrats. using the democrat's lawyers. and now they want to impeach him. i have heard this from many people. it's an insult to the american public. >> only one supreme court justice has ever been impeached. it was samuel chase in 1805. the house voted on articles

of impeachment, took it to the senate where he was acquitted, shep? >> shepard: john, president trump says he has no plans to fire the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. >> it looks like rosenstein, at least for the time being, going to hold on to his job. we were all very surprised this morning to hear that rosenstein was accompanying the president aboard air force one down to that chiefs of police veentd and there you see him walking off of air force one. along with chief of staff john kelly. rosenstein strongly denied a "new york times" article that he was trying to drum up further spore a 25th amendment removal of the president even going so far to suggest that he might wear a wire to gain incriminating evidence. the president when he was speaking to the chief of police said he and rosen sign spoke for 45 minutes. he didn't let on too much about what the substance of the conversation was. listen here. >> thank you as well to our deputy attorney general rod rosenstein for being here. flew down today.

the press wants to know what did you talk about. [laughter] but we had a very good talk, i will say. that became a very big story, actually, folks. [laughter] we had a good talk. >> it was quite a big story. in fact, in the days after it came out in the "new york times" back on september 21st, everybody assumed that rosenstein was dead man walking. the following monday on his way over here to the white house for a previously scilgtedzed meeting. he told people they justifiable department he thought he was about to be fired. instead he wasn't. the president set up a heating for that thursday but that was super seat seeded by the kavanaugh hearing. the way the things were coming out of his mouth seemed he was giving rosen stein the benefit of the doubt. today, shep, he said that -- this president said he didn't know they get along with each other. i don't think rosenstein is going anywhere.

shep? >> shepard: john roberts live on the north lawn. thank you, john. of course both republicans and democrats are claiming the fight over justice kavanaugh about give their side an edge in the upcoming midterm elections. there might be a bit of both. peter doocy with the news live on capitol hill. hi peter. >> shep, the republican glamour charge of the nrcc trying to hold the house for the g.o.p. just said he thinks the kavanaugh confirmation fight is really the first time this cycle that the voters they need have shown much of a pulse. >> i think both republicans and democrats have been excited but democrats were already excited about 15 other things. this is number 16. >> okay. >> and republicans have had a little lack of enthusiasm and, in fact, we had nine special elections. and we spent a lot of time and money trying to turn out reluctant republicans and now republicans are excited. >> and senator mitch mcconnell considers the noisy protests on the hill this week a political gift.

republicans credit him for getting two trump picks on the court now since he would not move on merrick garland until the end of obama's term. obama is looking toward a possible third trump justice. >> we will see whether there is a vacancy in 2020. >> but you're not ruling out the possibility since you are the republican majority leader and as a republican president that you would go for and push the nomination of a trump nominee in the election year? >> what i'm telling you is the history is you have to go back to 1880 to find the last time a senate controlled party different from the president filled a vacancy on the supreme court. senator lindsey graham says is he about to campaign against democratic colleagues for the first time ever. the republican lawmaker is just as excited as some republican voters, shep. >> shepard: what about democrats? what are you hearing from them, peter? >> that they are now trying to channel all this new energy about kavanaugh into

actual votes senator elizabeth warren said saturday's vote hurt but we're ready to fight back. take your (and turn it into power on november 6th. bob then then did h menendez. >> no checks and power on this administration especially what they did with the supreme court. the voters are going to have to decide to create a check and balance. >> over on the house side nancy pelosi says she is trying to help democrats take back the house by making public the currently private fbi background check on brett kavanaugh. shep? >> peter doocy live on capitol hill. thank you, peter. let's turn to stephanie achin' now, a congressional reporter for "roll call." stephanie, thanks. >> thanks so much for having me, shep. >> shepard: there is this indication that republicans have renewed interest and enthusiasm. there are also some signs that this might have gone back not just at kavanaugh

but really to the end of the summer. somewhere around labor day. but the republican enthusiasm is there. there's no question. >> yeah. we have seen polls leading up to the kavanaugh confirmation showing that the republican enthusiasm or the republicans are gaining in the enthusiasm gap and that's been interpreted as good signs for republicans who have had a hard time matching the energy we have seen from democrats leading back to 2016. whether that's going to hold until the election in november is anybody's guess. it's a month until then, which is really eternity in politics and anything can happen between now and then. >> shepard: who know what is could go on. we do know on the house side. let's talk about the house first. on the house side the math and just the math is much better for democrats than it is for republicans, right? >> that's right. on the house it's looking a lot better for democrats.

that's partly because the districts that the democrats need to win in order to take control of the house are generally more suburban. areas where democrats are already doing well with educated, female voters. >> and those are the voters who are -- you are zeroing the most upset about everything that's hang on the past couple of weeks with justice kavanaugh. >> shepard: on the senate side, what are you seeing? >> i'm sorry? >> shepard: that's the house side. on the senate side, what are you seeing? >> well, on the senate side it's a little trickier for democrats. in fact, it looks like it is looking better for republicans, that's partly because the race is democrats would have to win in order to gain control of the senate are states that are typically more conservative, they there are a lot of states that went for trump in 2016. and, you know, recently we have seen some pretty bad

signs for democrats there. i'm thinking about heidi heitkamp, for example, all of a sudden 20 points behind kevin cramer. that's a seat that democrats would really like to win in order to take the senate. >> shepard: she was 12 points behind before all of this. we don't focus a lot on polling around here anymore at least on this program. you might remember how bad the polling was. we don't even put the numbers on the screen anymore. we are just not sure what to know there are some very close races that i guess we might have a little more information about in the next few days. but, whether that enthusiasm is the kind of thing that holds all the way up to the election 29 days away. i guess that's a matter we will know about in 29 or so days. >> yeah. everybody would like to know that political wisdom says that in political battles it's usually the losers who stay angry longest. but, what we have seen recently is political wisdom isn't always right. so we will just have to wait

see what happens? november. >> shepard: no. lately political wisdom is wrong, decidedly wrong. stephanie achin' from "roll call." thank you. >> thank you so much. >> big hurricane on the way it was just a tropical storm last we met. and now this storm as you can see from the maps there, it's a hurricane and it's getting stronger hurricane and it's threatening the florida panhandle. anywhere between appalachia coal land a pan in a city. maybe even pensacola. somewhere in that area. forecasters say it could be a dangerous category storm by landfall. plus, there is word google exposed the private private datf hundreds of thousands of google users but made the decision not to tell those google users. we'll talk to one the writers who broke the story coming up from the fox news deck on this columbus day afternoon.

today the now category 1 storm is swirling over the warm waters of the gulf of mexico, you see this there between cancun and cuba. and they are predicting it will get stronger as it heads directly towards the florida panhandle. the florida governor rick scott has declared a state of emergency in more than two dozen florida counties. and warns this storm will be

extremely dangerous and life-threatening. his words. meteorologist adam klotz live in the fox extreme weather center. hey there, adam. >> hey, shepard. it is a big storm and intensifying quickly from a tropical storm this morning to category 1 off the coast of cuba. it's going to be running over warm water and that's going to allow it to strengthen. we already have advisories being issued and hurricane watch is in place from pence pensacola stretching to the big ben of florida. currently looking at the best chance of seeing some of these hurricane type conditions. here is your forecast. and you notice it goes from category 1 up to cat 2. by the time we get into wednesday morning off the panhandle now a category 3 storm. which means winds up to 120 miles per hour. again that is early wednesday morning. things will begin to deteriorate several hours before that, tuesday night throughout the day on wednesday it is running over warm water. you need 80-degree temperatures to support a hurricane. well, this is bathtub water. 58 degrees in plenty of places across the gulf of mexico. so it is going to continue

to fuel and get stronger. pick up some of these winds. lehr tropical storm models. there is still a little bit of indecision here. this would be the centered of the storm. the center of the storm, perhaps, running into pensacola, perhaps a little farther off towards the east. areas like appear lash that that, wapakoneta. just a little farther east there of panama city beach. that is what we are looking at as far as where this might land, shep. >> shepard: how does this storm compare to the last one that we get dealt with that hit the carries. >> that dropped a dozen water. that's not necessarily going to be the biggest concern with this. this is the wind field begins tuesday night running into wednesday morning. and wednesday through the day. winds probably a little more widespread. probably more inner tense as a category 3. beyond that a faster moving storm. you remember 40 to 50 inches in some places in the carolinas. this hits the panhandle. it continues to move some of the heaviest rain, shepard, maybe only spots getting

into 8 to 12 inches of rain. but, storm surge still going to be a big issue. wind going to be a big issue. it's not going to be that system that sits there and rains and rains for days. >> shepard: tuesday night into wednesday. thank you. >> yes, sir. >> shepard: officials in indonesia say nearly 2,000 people have died as a recent of the recent earthquake and tsunami there. so many more are still missing. the disaster management official says there could be as many as 5,000 more victims buried deep in the mud. but search teams are expected to stop looking later this week. they say the mud is just too soft to use heavy machinery. there is talk of turning some of those areas into mass graves. since rebuilding there is not an option. the secretary of state mike pompeo says north korea just took a big step toward giving up its nukes. but can anybody trust kim jong un? we'll have more on the secretary's recent meeting with the north korean dictator. plus, the limousine crash

the crash killed all 18 people inside the limo. they were on their way to a birthday party. the crash also killed two pedestrians on scene. we have some images to show you on slide show this afternoon. police say the limo blew right through this stop sign at the bottom of a big hill. hit an empty parked suv somewhere over here in this area. we are not exactly sure where. and then that suv crashed into the two pedestrians and killed. they. the manager of the nearby country store said transportation officials tried to make this intersection safer a decade ago after another crash. locals still consider it to be a really dangerous spot and trucks have gone right through that span afterwards. national transportation safety board sent a team to investigate the scene. you can see. so wreckage behind them. this woman crying as she lays flowers at makeshift memorial for the victims. family members say all four of the women in the limo were sisters and they were celebrating the youngest

one's birthday. last night crews pulled the limo from the crash site. the "new york times" newspaper reports one of the passengers texted a friend just before the crash saying the vehicle was in bad shape. the investigators say they are still trying to figure out the exact cause. north korea is ready to let outside newspaperrer inspectorsk out nuclear and missile sites. that's according to the secretary of state momp after he met with the north korean dictator kim jong un over the weekend. secretary pompeo said there has been what he calls significant process towards getting north korea to give up nukely weapons. north korea has a pretty unreliable track record. our state department correspondent rich edson is live with the news now. rich? >> shep, the secretary of state says he was also in north korea to try to help coordinate a second summit between president trump and kim jong un. secretary says that he is hopeful, is he confident that they are actually going to have this second summit. but they are still trying to

figure out when they are going to have it, where they are going to have it. and he acknowledges they are not quite there yet on figuring that out that would be their first meeting. the president and kim jong un since june 12th where they agreed to this broad framework of north korea surrendering its nuclear weapons program and the u.s. laying off sanctions. but it left an awful lot of details out of it, a lot of how it's going to be accomplished. and with this process seemingly stuck, the idea is to get the two leaders in a room again, to try to get them to fill in those details. secretary pompeo also says the u.s. and north korea will hold more frequent meetings, more high level meetings between the two countries. on the lead-up to that second summit. that got plenty to discuss. the details on how exactly international inspectors are going to get into north korea, inspect those sites and destroyed. how north korea is going to dismantle those weapons and when and how the u.s. is going to give them something in exchange for that, shep. >> shepard: a lot happening there at state, rich. secretary of state mike pompeo's

chinese counterparts criticizing the u.s. >> they did. the secretary went to pyongyang and then seoul and then beijing. that's where chinese officials lashed out at him publicly over the u.s.' marks that the trump administration's comments about the chinese government, the trade fight that's ongoing, the chinese foreign minister said, quote: this behavior directly strikes the mutual trust between our two sides and cast as shadow on the prospect of u.s. china relations. this is completely not in keeping with the interest of u.s. and chinese peoples. we require the u.s. side to stop such misguided actions. now, the secretary responded that there were fundamental disagreements between the two countries and then he said that he criticized the chinese government for canceling high level meetings in the next few weeks with the defense secretary james mattis. >> i regret strategic ally between our two countries was something chose not to undertake and would have

been an important opportunity for us to have a discussion about longer term important issues that opportunity for the people -- >> secretary pompeo also pushed to keep the sanctions up on north korea. china has asked to relax those sanctions. shep? >> shepard: rich edson live at the state department. russia's top diplomat dismissing accusations now that russian spies tried to hack the world's chemical weapons watchdog. the foreign minister there sergey lavrov said the men were not doing anything illegal and were on a routine trip to the netherlands. on thursday officials announced that four russian spies tried to hack the organization using wifi technology from a car parked outside a nearby hotel. they arrested and deported the men. this comes after officials with the united states justifiable department charged seven russian spies on thursday with hacking anti-doping agencies and other organizations. the kremlin denies those accusations as well. president trump is set to

announce some big changes to fuel policy. ahead, how it could change what you buy at the pump. plus, hundreds of thousands of google users' private information exposed. and a new report indicates the company kept it all a secret from those users. that's next. aleve pm for a better am. the full value oft wyour new car? you'd be better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with liberty mutual new car replacement we'll replace the full value of your car. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty ♪

♪ >> shepard: google exposed hundreds of thousands of viewer's personal information and when executives fowdged out about it, they made a decision. we're not going to say anything about it. that's according to the reporting of our corporate cousins at the "wall street journal." the bug related to accounts on google plus, the social media platform created back in 011 to compete with facebook. google released a statement today which reads in part. whenever user data may have been affected, we go beyond our legal requirements and

apply several criteria focused on our users in determining whether to provide notice. none of these thresholds were met in this instance. "wall street journal" reporter doug mcmillan joins us now. he co-wrote the article is that statement they made accurate? >> well, it's accurate to a letter. but the bigger question is around what google did in order to try to find out what user data may have been collected by outside developers. basically when google found out this happened, they did a little bit of checking. they two weeks of tests to see what data these tools are being used to collect over that time period. they came up with this number of 500,000 users who may have been anktedded but ultimately una able to determine if the people actually were affected. and then rather than actually informing those users that they may have been affected, they decided that that was good enough that they knew -- if they knew -- if they didn't know there was potential misuse, then they would just not

tell those people. so, pretty big question being raised about google today is whether or not they did enough to find out whether that data was misused and whether they should have told people about it anyways. >> shepard: what kind of data are we talking about. >> data on the google plus social network one of the company's biggest failures. become a punch line today that they are closing the site even though very few people used it. a lot of people were members of google plus. many people actually did fill out the profile field on google plus that included things like their name, their gender, their birth date, their home address, their former residences, occupation. so this is not earth-shattering sensitive information. for some people this information could be misused in the wrong hands. >> shepard: and has google explained way to is they didn't error on the side of transparency here?

we want you to know it's throughout for whatever season. >> big unand he questions question. what they're saying they had no evidence of misuse. and, that, therefore. they had no obligation to tell users. the law, like the legal advice that they got internalfully their lawyers was if do you not have evidence of misuse, then you are not obligated to tell people. but this leads to a bigger question which is how hard did they actually look to find out evidence of misuse? >> shepard: we don't have the answer to that question. >> we don't have that answer today. we will definitely stay on it a question continually asked of this company. the ceo is preparing to meet with to go to a hearing in washington some time in the next few weeks. so you can bet this is going to be one of the topics on lawmakers minds when he testifies before congress. >> shepard: i'm sure it will be. doug mcmillan one of the reporters who broke the

story he reports for the fox news parent company. >> thank you, shep. >> shepard: we expect president trump will announce tomorrow that he is rolling back an e.p.a. rule that affects what you buy at the pump. the move will allow gas with higher ethanol content to be sold year around. right now gas stations aren't allowed to sell this particular blend of fuel during the summer, because the e.p.a. claims that it produces too much smog when it's hot out. people in the ethanol industry say that is not true. and have been lobbying for year around sales. if it happens, president trump would be delivering a major win for corn farmers and all together iowa right before the midterms. but congress and other key energy sector big oil likely to put up a pretty big fight. let's turn to susan lee now from the fox bits network. this ethanol, it would not exist if iowa were not one

of the places we go early in the campaign season there probably would be no ethanol because we don't really need ethanol. >> it's a pretty large industry. >> shepard: come on, susan, just tell the truth. >> largest producer of it. >> shepard: truth is good. >> isn't really sold at the pumps right now. with this year around allowance now selling of the 15% blended gasoline, maybe it will. i'm sorry we do have indications that president trump will be announcing right before he heads to iowa that he is lifting this ban and there are a lot of naysayers for instance the american oil petroleum institute. oil we fineries. it hurts their business if you sell e-15 or other biofuels. 2.91 at the pump. not cheap. highest in four years. right? also smog environmentalists they say if you sell in the summer months you will produce more smog and hurts the environment.

studies prove that isn't necessarily the case. but it is promises made, promises kept. i should also pointed out that president trump, yes, he says he is going to allow year around sales of e-15 but might be capping. not going to allow the e.p.a. to think about capping the tax credits, that means you can't reduce your tax fuss are a biofuel producer. that's not necessarily good for the bottom line. >> shepard: what about the e.p.a. under trump? >> e.p.a. under trump has been marginalized. first 18 months under trump it's lost 1600 employees. the big roll back has been cars. and, you know, there was this obama era regulation where they had to double the gas efficiency of cars up to 50 miles per hour. that's a lot to get. to say that's doubling the current standards at this point. and also allowing more leniency when it comes to coal fired plan everyone plants. did i sell you on that. >> shepard: we have a climate change report in a moment which probably tells all that we need to hear. >> tell the truth. >> >> shepard: we will on the climate change story, trust

me. the dow dropped more than 200 points in the session early in the day. fox business network deirdre bolton live on the floor. all in the green what happened? >> a little sea change getting on board with. i'm looking up at the charts right now matches what you just showed. i will tell you which stocks are giving support to the dow is basically super christen stock names like walmart, walgreen's, coca cola. target even releasing a new line earlier today for people who have small homes, including millennials and even baby boomers with some products home products for $2 or less. called smartly idea keeps the target shoppers loyal to them. helping them fend off walmart which i just alluded to and big bad amazon. speaking of tech. this is the biggest weight.

this is what drags the dow and s&p 500 down earlier. you you have a lot of pressure for names like microsoft and cisco in particular, even visa kind of getting chucked in that tech basket. this has been the culprit, why we have seen the drop earlier now changing around. shep, back to you. >> shepard: all right. thanks very much. appreciate it see you soon. there is an enormous new study out on climate change. how urgent the situation is and what must be done to save the planet and the people who live on it. coming up, the international team of scientists on what it would cost, what is standing in the way. and how soon this must happen. and why an american who had won one of the biggest awards in all the world wouldn't pick up his phone to get the news. i would like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran

>> shepard: climate change is real. the situation is urgent and time is running out.

that's the new warning from a landmark united nations report. the authors 91 top scientists from 40 nations. and the headline human kind needs to start making unprecedented changes now to save everyone who lives on earth from life or death climate change. the tipping point they report is closer than previously understood. they say we have but 12 years to drastically reduce carbon emissions. trace gallagher is live with more on this study, trace? >> hey, shep, this u.n. document on climate change is 728 pages. the big take away here is that if we can just prevent the planet from warming one degree. greatly improve the weather, ecosystem and save lives. when the paris accord was saved in 2015. the international goal was to limit human cause warming by 1.8 degrees farn night or 1 degree celsius.

limit warming to under 1 degree fahrenheit and half degree celsius. in other words, cutting the goal in half. to do that it won't be enough to limit emissions. scientists say you would actually have to exstrap carbon from the at no, sir fear. restoring the world's forest and lowering the amount of acid in the ocean. even those are not proven remedies. most experts say we have continue to vest in technologies to help capture carbon emissions. there is no plan on how to get the international community to do that shep. >> shepard: as you are jest as it is, even the authors of this study acknowledge getting it done doesn't seem possible. >> trace: yeah, even outside scientists who acknowledge something has to be done to prevent the planet from warming say the goal laid out by the united nations is really unreasonable because it would mean draconian cuts in emissions and dramatic changes in the way that we use energy. meaning extremely high gas prices, a lot more regulations and putting governments right in the middle of decisions on how

people utilize their private property. as you noted the authors say that these goals really are long shot. the conservative cato institute called some of the conclusions absurd. but former vice president al gore praises the report says he believes technology is the answer but we need to rely on solutions available today. shep? >> shepard: trace gatt gear, thangallagher.two hours ago towe nobel prize for their work in understanding climate change and innovation it appears at least one of them was very surprised to win. >> i got two phone calls this morning and i didn't answer eaters one because i -- e because i thought it was some spam call. so i wasn't expecting the prize. that's paul roam one romer. he knowledge provides growth and flourish.
