him so perfectly. luke writes i love the way he loves me.cci.org and learn more about these dogs and check out the whole story at fox news.com/the daily spike. dose of good news for you. good luck to megan fitzgerald. she's leaving us today. i'm dana perino. here's leland in for shep. >> there's word another associate of president trump is trying to strike a plea deal in the russia investigation. a deal that could bring the special counsel closer to knowing if the trump campaign was linked to the hack attack on democrats in 2016. also, our nato ally, turkey, slamming president trump for defending saudi arabia. that country's top diplomat accused of president trump ignoring the murder of jamal khaishoggi and putting money over morals. and the chilling final words of

an american missionary killed by a mysterious tribe with bows and arrows on a far away island. that's ahead. a development in special robert mueller's russia investigation that could have huge implications in the russia investigation and possibly for the president himself. a trump ally named jerome corrsy announce he's entering a plea deal with robert mueller and his office. corsey is a conservative writer that said last week that he expects to be indicted in the special counsel investigation. corsey fits into this with his close ties to trump adviser, roger stone, that was also under mueller's microscope. the special counsel is looking into whether roger stone played a role in the wikileaks document

dump during the 2016 election. you might remember, the site released nearly 20,000 hacked e-mails, stolen from democratic party officials and the clinton campaign. a report from the national intelligence found that with high confidence, russia was behind the hack attack. stone denies involvement. the president denies any collusion with russia during the campaign. now jerome corsi says he's negotiating a plea deal means that he could be cooperating with mueller a that may help the investigation determine whether trump or stone had anything to do with the illegal leaks tied to russia. allison barber on the friday after thanksgiving. hi, ellison. >> and corsi has been involved with the mueller team awhile now turning over computers, a cell

phone. corsi told viewers that he was subpoenaed three days before his 72nd birthday. >> i fully anticipate the next couple days i will be indicted by mueller for some form or other of giving false information to the special counsel or to one of the other grand jury or whomever they want to do the indictment. but i'm going to be criminally charged. >> now, corsi a conservative writer and conspiracy theorist is in plea negotiations with robert mueller. the "washington post" said corsi confirmed this, it's true, your story is accurate. he declined to comment beyond that. he said there may be further developments next week. corsi is associated with former trump campaign adviser roger stone. stone has ties to wikileaks and the special counsel is looking into whether or not stone or anyone associated with the trump campaign knew about wikileaks

plans to publish thousands of e-mails that were stolen from john podesta. in texts with fox news, roger stone said corsi has stated publicly that he's being asked over and over to say things he simply does not believe occurred. i'm not aware of any plea talks involving dr. corsi. mr. stone then went on to say his discussions with me regarding the podesta brothers were strictly limited to their overseas business interests on earthed in the panama papers and other public sources that were writing about john an tony's activities. there was not one publication or otherwise that mentioned john podesta's posting about wikileaks. if dr. corsi knew that his e-mails were obtained by anyone and published, he never shared this information with me, not did -- nor did he give me any such documents.

"the washington post" says the deal is not final but citing a person with the situation, corsi's possible plea deal could result in him agreeing to plead guilty to exchange for leniency. leland? >> ellison barber in washington. as this breaks on a friday afternoon, thank you. we bring in former u.s. attorney guy lewis. good to see you, sir. plead guilty in exchange for lenienc leniency. that doesn't mean flipping, am i wrong? >> i would say that there's a very, very good shot that any negotiated plea will include cooperation, which will include additional testimony before the grand jury here. so i think definitely mueller has corsi in the cross hairs. listen, he's 72 years old. he's been interviewed for 40 hours. they don't believe him. they're squeezing him like nobody's business right now. so i expect him to be

cooperating with the government. >> corsi said as much back to one of his videos talking about those 40 hours with robert mueller and team. take a listen. >> it's been one of the most frightening experiences of my life. it's like, you know, at the end of two months, my mind was mush. >> leland: so that's how describes his state of mind. question: after 40 hours of talking to the special counsel, does he say, oh, by the way, there's a few things i didn't tell you and if you give me leniency i'll flip or do they go back to what he said during the 40 hours? >> leland, that's what makes dr. corsi frankly a horrible witness from my perspective. having done this many, many times. the guy has said over and over and over under oath and in front of fbi agents, i don't know, i don't know, i don't know. an then really hours before they're getting ready to pull

the trigger to indictment him, he and his lawyers want to testify on behalf of the special prosecutor. they better have mueller, bob and his team, better have a lot of corroborations and document to believe corsi. >> leland: robert mueller is known as tough as he is fair. emphasis on perhaps tough in that dichotomy here. would he do this knowing everything that you just laid out unless corsi had something that moved this investigation to roger stone or the president? >> leland, that's a great question. you hit the nail on the head with bob mueller. he's the robo cop. he won't stop. he will continue to pursue what he thinks is the truth. and frankly, if he believes him and his corroboration supports corsi for sure, he will put

corsi on the witness stand, he will ask him about lying and not telling the truth and then he will pivot and say, well, tell us what really happened. that's what takes the special counsel closer and closer to roger stone and closer and closer to the campaign for the presidency. >> leland: i'm looking at the lower third. mind is mush after mueller's interviews. if you're a defense attorney that corsi is testifying against your client, all you have to do is play that clip and say, gee, mr. corsi, how mush is your mind? >> that's right. not only has he said my mind is mush, he said over and over in podcasts, in writings, you name it. he's on the record 100 times and more saying i don't know anything about this. so really, when are -- this goes back to the old question, are you lying then or are you lying now? how do i know you're not lying?

>> it doesn't seem as though you're all that impressed with this plea. fair? >> that's a fair statement. i think that they're going to have to do a little more work here. >> i should correct. possible plea agreement. good to see you. thanks for coming in. chattanooga is a beautiful place. enjoy it. >> all the best. >> leland: and a nato ally telling president trump that money is not everything. where does the investigation over jamal khaishoggi go? that's next. oh! oh! ♪ ozempic®! ♪ (vo) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. oh! under seven?

their own mind about mbs. in no uncertain terms, president trump said the economy, national security and jobs come first. for him, the matter should be moved on. saudi arabia keen to move on from this. earlier, we saw crown prince bill salman in the middle east. it's a sign that he has support of the king and remain the de facto leader there. he will round off his trip at the g-20 summit in argentina where he will meet president trump and president erdogan of turkey. there were angry words from turkey as their foreign minister said they want to turn a blind eye to khaishoggi's killing. france announcing it will sanction 18 individuals in response to this. many of those the same people that the u.k., the u.s. and

germany also sanctioned. among them, not mbs. now we're hearing out of turkey in the turkish media, the cia may have a second tape between the crown prince and his brother in which mbs says silence khaishoggi as soon as possible. when asked about that yesterday, president trump said i don't want to talk about it. you'll have to ask them. a lot of moving pieces here. turkey has controlled the narrative throughout this. the story has come from them. that's because turkey and saudi arabia are regional rivals. it will be interesting at the g-20 to see whether or not there's bilateral meetings with president run the and mbs and to see if they can talk about the yemen war and the palestinian

peace pro december. >> leland: benjamin hall, thank you. look at how this is playing domestically. our political panel, kristin hahn, republican strategist chris maloney. the president seems resolute in how he's going to deal with this. any political pit falls going forward? >> yeah, a big pitfall. the president is signing with john bolton. i think what this will cause, it was cause a rift within the gop. you will have the republican party -- like senator rand paul -- >> i don't know president trump ever shying away from a rift in the republican party. >> this is true. but it's going to cause a problem for him. he ran and won on the america first foreign policy. that vision, that message resonated with the american people. i think this whole entire issue with saudi arabia, people will

talk about the arms deal and want answers. you dive in and look at the role that trump wanted to play, focusing at home, it's not meshing with the message that he's putting it out and not condemning it for the horrible act it is. >> leland: the president is saying this is the definition of america first. here's the president explaining and defending his response and then we get his view. >> they're vehemently denying it. we have hundreds of thousands of jobs. do people really want me to give up hundreds of thousands of jobs? if we went by this standard, we wouldn't have anybody as an ally. >> leland: democrats never miss an opportunity to criticize the president. does he have a point? it's not like barack obama came down hard on the saudis and made deal with the iranians. >> i'll go back to what my

republican colleague has said. the president had an america first or has an america first policy. the first thing he should be doing is listening to his intelligence services, which he has not done in the past. he's not doing it here and he's certainly not done it with russia. it's disconcerting. the democrats and the republicans have a problem with that. >> leland: i don't know for sure of this. one of the things the president has come down on, that says a lot about this, oil prices. in the sense that if you really crack down on the saudis, it appears as though both of you are in agreement the president should do oil prices spiked. that's not good for the u.s. economy. he says it's not worth it. flip this around. if the president went extraordinarily tough on the saudis, threatened to stop buying oil, things that members of both parties have talked about. all of a sudden, you have $4 gas in flint michigan, people say why are gasses so high? because i wanted to take a stand on the morality about this

killing against saudi arabia, i don't think that would play well in flint, michigan. >> no, i think you're right. here's the point. we have leverage right now. we have the ability. the american people realize that. the saudis are relying on us. it's an opportunity for the president to condemn it outright, not to hesitate and say look, these arms deals, we're trillions of dollars in debt. i think it's something that can resonate and the gop voters will care about. there's a way to do it with tact. that's the problem. i'm the first to say there's style and actual taking action and doing things that we can disagree with. sometimes in this type of situation, if he worked on his style of being blunt and saying what happened should not have happened. i think he would be in a different -- >> leland: he used a lot of tough adjectives. he sanctioned a number of the people involved. kristin, to you, the american public notoriously not care about these issues, especially

in swing states and rust belt states. how do democrats make this pivot to make voters care about they about this? >> i'm not sure. you're exactly right. but this is not necessarily an issue that will trickle down to the voters. it's not an issue that they vote on. the bottom line though is that a member of the free press and a permanent resident of the united states of america was murdered. and politics shouldn't play a role. the president should acknowledge that this happened. as far as the voters and how they're going to vote, i don't think this is something that they'll vote on. that shouldn't play a role in whether the president at least acknowledges that this happened and takes appropriate action. >> leland: it's not something that people will vote on. hard to necessarily have people stake their political future on it. stick around, chris, kristin. we're going to talk about leader pelosi hoping to become speaker

pelosi. we'll have you back. ahead, some legal analysts pushing back against the use of force against migrants if necessary despite president run the signing off on the policy. why critics say that move by the president could be breaking the law. every road in the world is now an information superhighway.

>> leland: the white house giving u.s. troops the green light to use lethal force at the southern border if necessary. some legal analysts say that move may violate american law. national security correspondent jennifer griffin breaking it down for us. hi, jennifer. >> hi, leland. it's misleading for the president to suggest the troops will be using lethal force along the border any time soon. the deployment of 5,900 troops has led to lawyers going back and forth at the pentagon to determine what those u.s. troops are allowed to do. senior military leaders visited troops yesterday for thanksgiving. most of those unarmed troops have been playing down wire at the border and that job is almost complete. about 400 mps have been shifted from texas to california to protect the border patrol facing

the possible arrival of more migrants. jim mattis that visited the border with the dhs secretary said that the troops are not expected to have contact with migrants. they're there for backup and don't have weapons that is according to mattis and according to the law. he said -- >> in a memo from the white house, john kelly signed an order giving additional authorities to the pentagon to provide protection to the border patrol and local law enforcement if needed. the memo said the deployed military personnel shall not without further direction from you, secretary mattis, conduct civilian law enforcement activities like arrest, search and seizure with enforcement with the law. that's the point that mattis explained to the pentagon

wednesday. that if the u.s. troops had to intervene to help an border patrol agent, the troops would need to hand over the detainee to local police in a matter of minutes. mattis scoffed at reporters that asked how the u.s. military would prevent a repeat of a may 1997 when u.s. marines shot and killed a teenager. mattis said they're not even carrying guns. leland? >> leland: that clears part of that up. jennifer griffin at the pentagon. jennifer, thank you. the mayor of tijuana, mexico, calling on the world to help with what he calls an international humanitarian crisis after more than 5,000 my grands have arrived in his city. tijuana is just south of the border with california. the migrants said they're escaping poverty and say they plan to claim asylum in the united states. chief correspondent jonathan hunt from the west coast news hub. hi, jonathan. >> leland, good afternoon.

the migrants don't want to be in tijuana and tijuana doesn't want them there. they can't head north to the u.s. and they don't want to head south back to the central american countries from which they came and from which they're seeking asylums. hundreds headed towards the u.s. border which could have led to confrontations with u.s. border agents. the mexican police stepped in to stop the marches reaching that destination. many of the 5,000 migrants in tijuana are crammed into a wet and muddy sports arena. they said they are desperate and the process for applying to asylum is taking too long. he wants the u.n. to step in and told reporters that "i will not compromise the city's public

services, i will will not bring tijuana into debt. the mayor has been seen wearing a hat "make tijuana great again." he said they're ill prepared to handle this many migrants. mr. trump went on, the u.s. ill-prepared for this invasion and will not stand for it. they're causing crime and big problems in mexico. go home! but the migrants have no intention of going home. so this standoff looks likely to go on for some time. with the patience of some residents in tijuana running out, the mexican police trying to keep control and american troops waiting on this side of the border. the potential flash points are clearly many. leland? >> leland: we've seen very tense moments in tijuana between a

couple of these groups. jonathan hunt in the west coast newsroom. back to washington where more democrats in congress are threatening to tank nancy pelosi's push to become speaker of the house. the latest on the fight for her political life and how republicans are planning to exploit it. our political panel next. this is stonington, maine, a town where almost half the population is self-employed. lobster fisherman is the lifeblood of this town. by 2030, half of america may take after stonington, self-employed and without employer benefits. we haven't had any sort of benefit plans and we're trying to figure that out now. if i had had a little advice back then, i'd be in a different boat today, for sure. plan your financial life with prudential. bring your challenges. there lots of people who are confused about which medicare plan is right for them. hey, that's me. i barely know where to start. well, start here with me, karen. i'm a licensed humana sales agent. well, it's nice to meet you, karen. i'm john smith.

lobby. they're within a handful to sink her speakership bid. some members have not committed either way, including freshmen that swore that they wanted somebody knew. pelosi might have a math problem. today, the dissenting members are from the problem solving caucus. they feel she won't follow-through on bipartisan initiatives. they said this in a statement. the incoming freshman, alexandria casio cortez said that there's nobody more progressive to choose from right now. if using her social media megaphone to squash the dissenters. tweeting this, nine denims are choosing to hold the caucus hostage if we don't accept their rules. people sent us here to get

things done, not negotiate with an admin that guts people's healthcare. so pelosi will continue to work on lawmakers individually. she got one challenger, marsha fudge, to sideline her ambitions in exchange for the top spot on elections and he got brian higgins to take his name in exchange for a consideration of a medicare reform bill. don't forget democrats expected to pick their candidate for speaker wednesday. leland? >> we will watch it closely. until then, peter doocy in washington. thank you. with that, we bring back kristin hahn and cliff maloney. krist kristin, any reason to think that nancy pelosi won't pull this out? >> i do. there's -- as somebody that worked in the house with her when she was last speaker, you

never underestimate her ability to get the votes. there are -- you want to reference the bipartisan letter that a number of the members of the problem solvers caucus sent. i do not agree with what aoc said about ocasio cortez say about this being republican friendly rules. they're modest changes to the house rules that are house friendly. they should be done and they're members -- >> everything comes down to politics, cliff. how do republicans exploit this or is it better to stand back and watch the democrats fight it out? >> christmas came early for the republicans. nancy pelosi gets in. my colleagues he see it difficult. nancy pelosi is a 28% favorablety rating, the face of

obamacare. trump tweeting out that he wants to support her. you're seeing that because the republicans want a nancy pelosi speakership. to me, it's interesting to see. some of the more radical folks the socialists to get in line with nancy pelosi. i'd like to -- >> leland: there's no sluder political operator than nancy pelosi. do you worry that all of a sudden he gets in, the house has the power or the purse, they can make things uncomfortable for the president with putting forth a lot of bills that are very popular politically across the country that the president will not want to sign. >> yeah, i do agree with that. i worry about that. the congress does get to decide where the money goes and how much we're spending. the thing to look at is if you look at it politically, what the democrat message right now? anti-trump. that's about it. what are they putting out from their elected officials to say

these are the solutions that will be good for the country? i think pelosi represents more of the same. the elitist type washington d.c. insider. i kind of surprised that democrats are not putting somebody else up to challenge her. >> leland: you can't beat somebody with nobody. you think nancy pelosi will pull this one out here. to the point that cliff made, republicans should be worried about. what are a couple of proposals that house democrats can put through that will put the thumb screws on republicans -- pose. >> i'm going back quickly. i don't agree the democrats have an anti trump message. i worked with over 20 of the newly elected members and it was about healthcare, about jobs. you know, as far as things that the democratic house can put forward, let remember, there's a republican senate. we have to work together. so infrastructure packages.

it's about bipartisan legislation. that's actually one of the things the problem solvers put forward to accelerate -- >> leland: the one thing that always has bipartisan agreement is spending more money. we'll have to cue the chuck and nancy tweets. now they're agreeing with each other. leave it there. cliff and kristin, appreciate it. talk to you soon. >> thank you. >> leland: well, chances are you're spending a lot more this year shopping for the holidays. that's from analysts that predict stores will see a lot of green on this black friday. this year retailers are going beyond the so-called door buster deals to reel you all the way in. how you can get in on that coming up. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream.

black friday. millions rushing to stores for deals. as always, a little chaos. folks piling in to macy's here in new york city. it actually started late thanksgiving night. check out the line at this brandsmart department store in miami. people there waited hours for the store's 6:00 a.m. opening. at least it was warm in miami. these folks in nebraska waiting for a furniture store to open in the dark hours this morning trying to protect themselves from the cold in order to get a good deal. folks shopping on chicago's side side ran into protesters outside of a target store. people demonstrated against the company's plans to shut down a couple stores in the area. mike tobin here to explain how that works.

hi, mike. >> the group demonstrators out here want you to boycott target this holiday season. that is because as you mentioned, after operating for 17 years here on the south side, they want to shut down two stores in the peer african american parts of town. all the why opening new stores opening stores in the affluent white neighborhoods. so protesters say this will devastate communities struck with blight. the target depends on consumers and the retail giant has an obligation to the community. >> a large corporation like this years ago, lost millions of our information in a data breach. they begged people to stay with them. a lot of people did. how about returning the favor right now? >> target said of the demonstrators, we respect to express their disappointment. going forward, we will work with

community leaders to redevelop these properties in a a way to make a positive impact. target promises to relocate employees to other stores nearby, they say. the demonstrators say that doesn't account for all of the retail jobs that are dependent on the draw from the big anchor store here. leland? >> leland: mike tobin in chicago. the stock market closed early today. the worst thanksgiving week since 2011. the dow, s&p 500 and nasdaq all down for the week. the dow tumbled 4.4%. s&p 500 down 3.8. nasdaq off 4.3. all three finished down for two weeks in a row. retailers hoping the down markets won't stop shoppers. they're looking beyond the door buster deals. walmart rolling out a dill map on its app to help customers find products. target offering free two-day

shopping on every purchase. the national retail federation expects shoppers to spend more with consumer confidence at a 18-year here. stacy is here from optimum capitol. thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> leland: put it in perspective. you have these two opposing views here of the economy. stock market down significantly and at the same time unemployment at an all-time low. how does that translate to people opening their wallets for holiday shop something. >> yes, it's have simple. the stock market movement precedes the economic data. in 2007, we had highs that preceded the recession in 2008, the great recession. what is happening is the fed is tightening. that's starting to be felt in airs of liquidity. when the fed tightening, they

reduce the money supply. it's coming out of the overbought stocks that we recently lost the trillion dollars in value. should affect retail much. as you say, they're positive economic indicators. next christmas will be rough. >> you talk about the fang stocks. facebook, apple, netflix and google. there's more than a trillion dollars in wealth knocked off of those stocks combined. a lot are held by consumers. if you're holding apple when it was at 220, you have a different feeling now than a couple weeks ago. >> i have a family member in that situation. their christmas will be changed. interesting to see how much the retail numbers are affected by that wipeout. in our firm, our portfolios didn't have a high level of

exposure to the same stocks. they were overbought and overvalued for some time. so it's interesting to see. i do have a family member that will be spending less for christmas this year as a result of that. >> a big question, how many families are like that in that place, especially families with a high amount of disposable income as folks that hold those stocks do. national retail federation numbers here. 2017, 967. holiday spending per person, 2018, expect 30 or $40 more up 4.1%. how quickly are we going to know in the next couple days whether that trend line is holding, therefore potentially give stocks a little bump heading into december or how quickly do we know that maybe consumer confidence like your friends that owned apple just isn't there? >> well, i think we'll have numbers reported in real time. people are interested in what is happening with the stock market.

it largely depends on whether the fed continues with their projected rate like in december. what is interesting is we have a record amount of debt in the system. the challenge that trump has going forward as you lamented on twitter, if the fed keeps tightening, we have $9 trillion outstanding in bonds. we have all of this pressure. as the rates go up, it puts more pressure on the debt situation. so i think these lagging really high economic indicators will be sustainable until we have problems in the credit market. >> leland: as you point out, debt becoming key. 28% of americans still have debt leftover from last holiday season. francis, i appreciate you being with us, a lot to talk about the next coupling months to watch. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much. >> leland: nice to see you. the rain has arrived over northern california threatening to bring mudslides in areas that

hi, amy. >> hi, leland. well, john allen chow has had a lot on his mind and we're learning more about exactly what he was thinking about as he made that very dangerous trip to a remote indian island where he was ultimately killed. he was very aware of the danger, leland, even writing at one point that he felt like his mission seemed like a certain death. after initially fleeing north sentinel island after being shot at with bowing and arrows took time to write to his family. chow gave to it the fisherman that guided him to the island. today a friend shared photos of chow and how people in the christian community referring to him as a marter. in the letter, chow asked him family not to be mad at god. chow talked about his dream of returning to the arcipelligo.

the tribe hat been around since the stone ages and have not evolved since then. it's emerging today that the tribe protected by indian law which makes it all but illegal to approach is probably immune to prosecution. those, leland, that helped chow make his trip in the direction of the island are now facing some sort of charges in connection with the murder, some accessory charges. again, we won't know exactly what happened until that body is retrieved. fisherman said he was killed with arrows, but until the body is retrieved, we're going on hearsay and what the indian police are assuming. >> leland: and getting the body back may be easier said than

done. thank you. the northern california wild fire that devastated an entire community we now know has killed 84 people. that's according to fire officials. the sheriff in butte county says 80 miles north of sacramento that more than 550 people are still under accounted for. jeff paul in the town of paradise, california in butte county. hi, jeff. >> yeah, leland. the rain has really started to come down now. much heavier than in previous days. that's making it more difficult for search and recovery crews out here sifting through the wreckage of neighborhoods like this one that have been burned to the ground. earlier today, we were out driving around paradise, california to get a better idea of the devastation of the camp fire. you can see the search and recovery crews out there working in these conditions despite the rain. there's the dangers because of the rain and the lose soil of having mudslides and trees

falling down as well as flash flooding. that's not slowing the crews down. they're doing their best to track down as many people as they can and cross them off of that unaccounted list. leland? >> jeff paul, as the rain comes down in northern california. jeff, thank you. i'm leland vittert in for shepard smith.
