columnist apparently killed during an investigation. rob: griff has more. >> reporter: secretary pompeo is on the ground. he's meeting at this very moment we believe with king salman. he was met at the airport by the foreign minister. all this comes on the heels of president trump's phone call with king salman who firmly denied any involvement in khashoggi's death and saudi arabia may be preparing to admit that they accidentally killed khashoggi in an unauthorized interrogation gone wrong. the president floating his own thoughts on what may have happened. >> it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows? we're going to try getting to the bottom of it very soon. >> reporter: in addition to secretary pompeo's meeting with king salman, it will also include meeting with the crown prince, a lunch meating with the foreign minister and later tonight continu dinner with then

prince. we were told the u.s. will continue to ask for a thorough investigation into what happened to jamal khashoggi. the devastated family issuing a statement saying we are following the conflicted news regarding the fate of our father after losing contact with him two weeks ago after he disappeared. our family is trauma tized and yearns to be together during this painful time. if saudi arabia turns out to be responsible for his death, the president has promised punishmenpunishment. even if the president doesn't act, there are signs that congress is almost certain to act. we'll keep you posted right here and bring you the developments as secretary pompeo meets with king sal pmaman with a lot more important meetings coming. carley: thank you for that reporting. the whole situation could have

big-time consequences. switching gears, the co-founder of fusion gps, the firm behind the anti-trump dossier, will plead the fifth today on capitol hill. glen simpson will appear before lawmakers under subpoena but not answer questions. this as carter page, the former trump campaign aide, who was spied on as a result of the dossier, sued the dnc for defamation. >> it goes beyond any damages or financial aspects. you look at the damage it did to our democratic systems and our institutions of government back in 2016 and i'm just trying to get some justice in terms of getting some disclosure. rob: all right. taking a look now at live pictures from riad, saw give sa. mike pompeo sent there by the president to get answers about

missing columnist jamal cay cay khashoggi. the saudis may admit that he was accidentally killed during a botched interrogation at the saudi consolate in istanbul, turkey. we'll keep you updated on how that meeting goes. a tense time. here is some of that video right there, you see them smiling but some serious issues they have to talk about today. carley: that's right. this is live, you're looking at a live look right now, it's noon over there. the president very interested in this case as it's quickly unfolding and we'll see, like i said, this could have big-time side effects on the price of oil and certain things that could unfold as a result of this. we have to think about that poor family too. rob: the president said it sounds like a tragedy happened. he doesn't deny that it appears that saudi arabia was some how involved in the killing of this

man, if he is indeed dead. he said he doesn't want to punish the american economy and american jobs by having to go after saudi arabia, he doesn't want to punish lockheed martin and other companies like that in the united states by sanctioning saudi arabia over the apparent death of this journalist at the saudi consolate in istanbul, turkey. he is technically missing at this time, jamal khashoggi. carley: on capitol hill, we're switching gears, jeff sessions -- rob: i'll take this one. jeff sessions ripping federal judges over blatant anti-trump bias. >> the courtrooms are not ledge legislative chambers, they're not bully pulpits. we don't need political judges. judges are subject to the same criticism as other political leaders are, sometimes they might be called on to be replaced.

rob: the attorney general's remarks coming in front of the heritage foundation. session says rulings from these judges are forcing the president to fight back which is tying up his time. carley: a democrat senate candidate is accused of treason after a radio interview surfaces 15 years later. listen to this. >> i want to go fight in the taliban army, i'd go over there and i'm fighting for the taliban. that's a personal decision. carley: republican congress woman and former air force combat pilot martha mcsally bringing up the interview during their heated senate debate. >> i want to ask right now whether you're going to apologize to the veterans and me for saying it's okay to commit treason. >> we're engaging in ridiculous attacks and smearing my campaign and she's just trying to cut, cut, cut and not share the full picture. carley: interesting race there. both candidates are vying for arizona's open senate seat.

rob: vice president mike pence is set to survey the damage left by hurricane michael in georgia today. carley: this after president trump and the first lady got a close look at the devastation, at least 19 people are dead with billions of dollars worth of damage. president trump praising the recovery efforts and vowing to send federal aid. >> i spoke with rick scott in florida, governor, you know that, we're right with you and we'll be helping alabama, have to take care of the people. so the deficit's always a problem for me but we take care of our people. carley: janice dean is tracking the latest in the forecast. what's going on? >> hello, good morning. we've got a lot of cold on the map, how about that? record cold in a lot of states. all of this cold courtesy of our friends in canada. look at how far south -- i was raised in canada. i'm a friend. i know this. halloween, we used to put our

snowsuits underneath our costumes because that's how cold it can get. current wind chill, you can see how far the cold front goes down, as far south as the deep south of texas, florida being spared the cold air for now. freeze advisories are posted for the central u.s. you can see the 24 hour temperature change, a little bit rebounding. the cold air is funneling across portions of the mississippi river valley. could we see a little bit of early season snow across upstate new york on thursday? it is possible. here's the past 24 hours. we could see showers and thunderstorms and some mountain snow for the southwest. so this is the area we're going to see the concern for flooding. but watch what happens as we go to tuesday and wednesday and thursday. there's a little bit of snow. carley: i like it. >> a little bit of snow and how about a little bit of a nor'easter, late october. carley: we don't like that.

those snowsuits ruin halloween costumes. >> i was a ghost for a lot of years. rob: 28 degrees in chicago right now. >> there you go. it's coming. rob: thank you so much. carley: moving on to sports and major league baseball play quarters. the brewers inching closer to their first world series appearance in more than 35 years. >> 0-1 pitch. >>1 pitch, fly ball.on the warne wall, it's gone! rob: the brewers get the win, 4-0, for a 2-1 lead on the l.a. dodgers. they're now just two wins away from their first world series trip since 1982. a long time. carley: and a fox news alert coming up, ms-13 gang now more dangerous than isis? the alarming new report and how the trump administration is promising to stop the cold-blooded killers. rob: harvard university

ms-13 gangs now the number one crime threat in the united states, overtaking terrorists and drug cartels. this according to the justice department rolling out a new task force to fight the gang which is headed by the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein. >> they sell violence and poisonous drugs, they bribe public officials to fuel corruption, they terrorize innocent, law abiding citizens. we need to use every tool in the government's arsenal to combat them. rob: this new crime unit is to submit a strategy to fight mean within 90 90 days.

carley: two members of a gang just arrested for attempted murder. police say the two knocked a new york teen off his bike and repeatedly stabbed him. that teen suffering extensive nerve damage. officers arresting the men after their bloody shirts matched the victim's dna. it's unclear why they targeted the 17-year-old. both face up to 25 years behind bars if convicted. rob: all right. harvard university on trial this morning for what some people are calling racial discrimination against asian americans. carley: very interesting case here. the trial is expected to make it all the way to the supreme court and challenge affirmative action law. kelly boase long is an asian american harvard student and he she joins us now. you are currently junior at harvard, right? >> yes. thank you so much for having me on. carley: glad you're here.

you know what harvard is like. you know what the admissions process is like. simply put, do you think harvard discriminates against asian americans? >> yeah, i think what we're seeing and what students are showing right now is that harvard has been raising the bar for asian americans and lowering it for other groups in the pursuit of racial diversity. harvard is pursuing this racial diversity for the sake of diversity itself and it's really a shallow thing to do, i think. i think we saw harvard did this with jews back in the 1920s as welwell where they kept numbers artificially low by using a subjective personal rating. i think it's demeaning to reduce applicants to their race and it's discriminatory. these practices have been reported on for years. i think it will be interesting to see what comes out of this case. rob: we want to show people exactly how this is alleged to be done. we're going to show you some

s.a.t. score requirements here. everybody remembers the s. a a.t.s. for black, hispanic and native american applicants harvard appears to be looking for a score around 1100 to get in. for asian women, though, look at the jump there, to 1350. and for asian men, 1380. we understand harvard is sending out fliers to students when they're in high school, based on these kinds of numbers, trying to get them to go ahead and apply to harvard university. when you see numbers like that, does that make any sense to you? >> no, definitely not. i think what we really see happening here is that vard is raising -- harvard is raising the bar for asian americans. asian americans consistently score higher on things like academics and extra cribbing exs and ratings for guidance

counselors. when it comes to the subjective measures, asian americans on a whole receive a lower personal rating. i think this is pitting people of color against each other and it's demeaning. carley: you bring up the personal rating. harvard says that race and academics are just some of the things that they take into consideration but there is also the sort of personality test they base admissions on and they look at things like courage and likability. do you think they're trying to get more well-rounded students or why would they take courage into consideration? >> yeah, i think that those are definitely important qualities to have in a student. but i think what's happening is that this is sort of being shown to be lower systematically for r asian americans and this isn't the personal rating that's coming out of alumni interviews when asian american apyo applics sit down one on one with someone but it's what ta the admissions office gathers from reading your profile.

rob: this could go to the supreme court. the last time the supreme court heard a case about affirmative action was in 2016, anthony kennedy swung it in favor of affirmative action. he's been replaced by justice brett kavanaugh. we'll see if that changes anything if this goes to the supreme court. thank you so much for your time. >> thanks. carley: the time now is 19 minutes after the hour. outrage growing over a mississippi high school halftime show depicting officers held at gunpoint and the governor just broke his silence. the action he's vowing to take against all school staffers behind it. rob: also, mid-air madness, the plane swings violently in the wind as it approaches the runway, a dramatic look at this, a dramatic landing caught on camera. stay tuned. ♪ lightning and the thunder. ♪ thunder, feel the thunder. ♪ lightning and the thunder, thunder. ♪ thunder.

carley: welcome back. a deputy's body camera capturing a terrifying moment a man grabs a loaded gun during a traffic stop. watch this. >> drop the gun! drop the gun! drop the gun! drop it! drop it! you almost got shot. carley: the unidentified man telling the florida deputy he was trying to get away. police finding several prescription pills and 22 bags of marijuana in the car. the suspect faces a long list of charges. rob: it's what police go to work and face every day. all right, check this out. this is unbelievable. look at how this plane is coming in for a landing. carley: oh, my gosh. rob: look at the angle he's

at. that's 50-mile-an-hour winds. he's going to try it. and he got it done. that's amazing. the flight landed in bristol airport in england. it starts to rotate to the side as it approaches. i can't believe the pilot had the nerve to try to make that landing. p an incredible safe landing. no word on if there were people inside the plane. carley: besides the buy lot pif course. we're glad everybody is okay. tired of winning yet? president trump's economy is creating factory jobs eight times faster than the obama administration. rob: tracy korosko here to break down the boom. >> you look at the recent september jobs report, 134,000 jobs added, 18,000 of those were in the manufacturing industry. as you said, the pace of manufacturing job growth over the past 21 months that president ha donald has been ine is more than the last 21 months of president obama.

why this growth we're seeing? maybe the deregulatory policies, the tax cuts contributing to this, 396,000 jobs over the 21 months have been added in the manufacturing industry. so a very positive sign of the economy. carley: speaking of money, one or two lucky people could be very rich coming up, right? >> we talked about this last week. no one won the jackpots over the weekend. now mega millions and powerball, a combined jackpot of more than $1 billion. so $654 million for the mega millions, that's a cash payout of $373 million. the odds of winning that, they are not great. that drawing is tonight. tomorrow, powerball, that jackpot is $345 million. but the combined odds of winning both, i want to give this to, one, in 88 quadrillion.

carley: there is a chance. rob: i hope it's some massive company where everybody chips in. when one person wins that much, it makes me physically sick. carley: sometimes bad things a happen to them. you ever watch those shows. good luck, everybody. it's 26 minutes after the hour. lawmakers on high alert after a suspicious letter is sent to a republican. what was inside the deadly threat, just revealed. >> we need to overthrow the government. >> they go low, we kick em. >> you cannot be civil with three weeks until the midterms, do democrats have their priorities out of whack? our political panel on deck to debate results versus resistance, that's coming up next. ♪ me feel. it was like that feeling when you're mowing the lawn on a sunny day... ...and without even trying, you end up with one last strip

rob: back with a fox news alert. secretary of state mike pompeo just met with king salman of

saudi arabia. he was sent there by the president to demand answers on the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. there are reports that you saudis will admit to accidentally killing that columnist during an interrogation. khashoggi was last seen earlier this month entering the saudi consolate in istanbul, turkey. we'll keep you posted on any developments there. also breaking, a search underway for this missing 13-year-old girl after her parents are found dead in their home. authorities believe jamie kloss is in danger, working to enhance a short 911 call is what they're doing right now. the only word that can be understood is "help." police believe she was taken by somebody with a gun. they don't have any leads on a suspect at this time. a horrifying story there. an urgent health warnings about the flu. a child who did not get vaccinated has child in florida. it is the first child to die from the flu this year. 183 kids died from the flu in the u.s. last year, the

deadliest season in 40 years. a terrible season. about 80% of those kids were not vaccinated according to the cdc. megan hai meghan markle ande harry making their first appearance as parents to be. they visited an australian zoo, meeting their baby koala. namesake. the royal couple already receiving gifts for their little one who is expected in the spring. >> [ indiscernible ] rob: they didn't waste any time. the governor general presenting them with a stuffed kangaroo and fleece ugg booties. meghan stepping out in a fitted white outfit named the blessed dress by an australian designer. they're on a 16 day tour of australia and the south pacific. don't they call that the baby moon, isn't what the kids are calling it these days? carley: that is what the kids

are calling it these days. thank you very much for that democrats are taking their rhetoric to the next level, weeks ahead of the mid materials and they're getting a -- mid terms and they're getting a helping hand from their friends in hall wood. >> wee need to overthrow the government of the united states under donald trump. >> when they go low, we kick em. >> you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for. carley: so will focusing on outrage rather than the issues cost them control of congress? here now to debate is democratic strategist nathan rubin and executive director at america rising pac, alexander wil wilke. do you think democrats are missing golden opportunities to promote their platform? they're so focused on criticizing president trump. >> it's hard for hillary clinton, eric holder and alec baldwin to promote a platform when they're not candidates.

when you look at the candidates that are running, they're talking about issues that are important to the american people. beto o'rourke is pulling crowds larger than trump rallies. he's talking about immigration, race relations, health care, those issues matter to the american people and the rest of the candidates around the country are doing the same. carley: eric holder, hillary clinton, they may not be running but they represent the party. does he have a point that the media may be he focusing on these controversial moments but down on the ground where it matters democrats are getting it done, what do you think? >> i think this is what independent voters who will matter in the midterm election are seeing on tv and that really does matter. because there's the politics of obstruction, right, this is the impeachment crowd, we've got to do away with president trump, do away with justice kavanaugh. i think that plays terribly among these voters. there's the politics of destruction. where we have people like maxine waters saying we need to

confront trump officials in restaurants and gas stations, you have eric holder saying we need to kick republicans. the rhetoric has really gone to a new low and i think that that really does matter when these undecided voters are looking at what party they want to control the houses of congress this upcoming year. carley: speaking of that rhetoric, let's take a look at the reaction to hillary clinton's civility comment. 47% of people polled disagree with her statement and 14% are undecided. you brought up independent voters. nathan, i want to ask you, are you concerned that some of these folks that could potentially vote for democrats are getting turned off by this sort of angry devie sieve commentary coming from some of the leaders within the party? >> i think it's an interesting question. we're certainly seeing it from both sides. donald trump and folks in his administration are referring to democrat as an angry mob and i'm

not a member of an angry mob. i'm just a concerned citizen who wants better for our democrat civil i think it's coming from both sides and we have definitely seen it in charlotesville, there was a rally where heather hire was killed by a neo-nazi. in new york there was a group called the proud boys who were beating, yelling homophobic slurs. i think the rhetoric has escalated on both sides. we are seeing violence coming from the right. carley: you do bring up a good point. president trump has made his fair share of controversial comments. do you think that democrats are just responding to rhetoric with more divisive rhetoric? >> the governments of democratic past keep coming to haunt them. if you're a democrat, you're looking at that hillary clinton interview and saying why is this happening 21 days out from an

election? i think the democrats right now, they're attempting to fight president trump back using some of the president's own tactics, you know, being out there and being loud and being certainly controversial at times. as we saw in the republican primaries, that didn't work out too well for the republicans who tried that against him. there seems to be a uniqueness to the president to be able to deliver those kind of barbs. carley: you've got to think, there's got to be a better way to talk about politics than constantly spiraling out of control into violence and all that. >> we can all agree on that. carley: the time now is 36 minutes after the hour. elizabeth warren finally taking that dna test. >> what do the facts say? >> the facts suggest that you absolutely have native american ancestry in your pedigree. carley: how that test is now

backfiring big-time. where are we? oh, my god, your head. >.carley: what would you do to never have a hangover again? you won't believe just how far some people would go. ♪ red solo cup. ♪ i fill you up. ♪ let's have a party. ♪ let's have a party. here ya go, hon. hello! i'm an idaho potato farmer. did you ever notice that the very first bite

middle school allegedly tells a student to turn his gop t-shirt inside out. that's the shirt. the boy's mom said a staff member at the florida school told him to change. she says it was all part of his republican nerd outfit for spirit week. the school district said employees are not allowed to wear politically charged shirts but students can. they said they apologized to the family. carley: elizabeth warren's dna test backfires. the cherokee nation denouncing her results, saying they don't prove her native american heritage by any means. rob: todd pyro joins us with more on the fierce backlash and how the democrat tries to pin it back on the president. what an embarrassing story. >> following warren's release of a campaign video playing up her latest dna test, the cherokee nation really dropped the mic, responding in part, quote, using a dna test to lay claim to any connection to the cherokee

nation or any tribal nation even vaguely is inappropriate and wrong. it makes a mockery out of dna tests and its legitimate uses while dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens who ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven. senator warren is undermining tribal interest with her continued claims of tribal heritage. that statement came amidst a day of twitter tirades from warren, first posting the boston globe story highlighting the dna test and firing dozens of attacks against the president. as for the article, the globe issued a correction to its math, downgrading her results to between 1/64th and 1/1,024th native american. the article noted the analysis was based not on native american dna but on mention peruvian -- mexican, peruvian and columbian dna. a study said the average

european american has 0.18% native american dna which might be higher than warren's. as for her reference to the president's million dollar bet if dna showed she did have native ancestry, the president said this. >> you mean if she gets the nomination and the debate where i was going to have her tested? i'll only do it if i can test her personally. okay? that will not be something i enjoy doing either. >> that' even democrats upset wh warren's dna debacle. obama's campaign manager was mad she made the announcement right before midterms, asking why can't dems ever stay focused? rob: she tried to brag about this and it has blown up in her face. the test results have caused more harm than good for the massachusetts democrat. carley: brit houme said its her

own fault this issue won't be put to rest anytime soon. >> it suggests she has some small ancestry among native americans and maybe not native americans, because there's not enough native american dna to do a proper test so they use hispanic dna. i don't think this puts this to rest. i think the timing suggests it's problem blip not helpful because it doesn't end the issue. remember, she claimed to be native american, not partly native american or fractionally native american but actually native american. rob: what do the people think? >> we asked do her new claims prove she is only concerned about 2020? most of you seem to agree. lou on twitter says the cherokee nation must be embarrassed for her. review that quote.

because the cherokee nation did speak out as we referenced. francis on instagram says just prove that she's a liar and got caught an smith j. on twitter ss it proves she is far from honest. i don't think we're done with this story. carley: she probably hopes we're done with this story. rob: you spit in the thing and it's amazing. i found out i was 1% pacific islander. who knew? it is wild, if you want to test it out. thanks, todd. carley: not sponsored by ancestry.com, of course. rob: i used 23 and he me. carley: he put his life on the line for the american flag and supported standing for it. now he's out 06 out of a job. our next guest is defending his patriotism. why he said he'll never apologize for doing that. rob: first let's check in with brian kilmeade to see what's coming up on "fox & friends." we knee a dna profile for you. >> i thought i was 50/50 irish

and italian. i'm only 21% irish, mostly italian and a lot of slavic crow croatian, something in between. if you would follow that story in the break, if could you do that. the other thing we'll be focusing on is elizabeth warren, we with go from here, how donald trump seems to be getting in every democrat's head and the latest example is senator elizabeth warren who ticked off democrats by distracted. we'll be talking about what we can do internationally with the saudi possible assassination of a green card holder with three american kids, i'm talking about mr. khashoggi who might indeed be dead at this hour. we will have insight on what's happening in washington. lou bartello twoopts b wants toe next senator from pennsylvania. what are his chances? senator lindsey graham, he'll be

live in our studio. that's all coming up over the next three hours of "fox & friends," unless i'm sadly mistaken, which i doubt. i urge you again to please when you're watching to be dressed. rob: thanks, brian. we'll be right back.
