i'm going to see you, i hope you tune in every weekday on a new show i've got bulls and bears on the fox business network at 5 p.m. you can watch on monday, no doubt we'll be talking about some of the wonderful deals on cyber monday, but thank you very much for joining us. have a great thanksgiving weekend, what's left of it. fox news continues. leland: chaos on the streets of paris and anger at president emanuel macron over rising fuel taxes. the very latest on the increasingly tense standoff in the city of lights. >> and this man says that he's talking about a plea deal with robert mueller's team in the russia probe. so who is jerome corsi and what about the president's long time friend roger stone. leland: and bolstering the border this weekend. the president's push to get

congress to fund his border wall and the plans to perhaps stifle his immigration policy. ♪ >> have you recovered from thanksgiving dinner yet? >> i have. leland: you have? >> and i spent part of thanksgiving watching you. leland: one would hope you had something better to do. america's news headquarters, a busy saturday, i'm leland vittert. >> and i'm kristin fisher. leland: right now, there are clashes in the streets of paris, this now on saturday evening, 6 p.m. over rising gas prices and it's increasingly violent by the minute. thousands have gathered and are airing their grievances with the french president and rising gas taxes he's implemented as a plan to reduce his country's

dependence on fossil fuels. and ryan from the european news room. hi, ryan. >> yeah, the police estimate that about 80,000 people took to the streets in not just paris, but in cities and towns right across france today. they're very easy to identify, to see, they're all wearing yellow high visibility vests, the ones that you're required to have in your car with you by french law. why are they angry? well, french president emanuel macron plans to raise taxes on fuel next year, go into effect on january 1. what's the big deal? i translated, $6.30 for diesel. most of that is tax. if macron gets his way, the gallon of diesel with raise 25 cents. and rising 30 cents a gallon this year because of tax. he says these taxes are needed

to discourage people from buying cars that contribute to climate change, but many french, particularly those outside of paris, in what they call the periphery, if you will, of france, say it's too much. they need their cars to get to work, to get around, to go shopping and this is really squeezing their finances. macron, before this, was already battling a perception that he's out of touch with working class people and frequently called the president of the rich. so this doesn't help him. his approval rating stands at about 20% right now. that said, despite how dramatic that video is right there, and how violent these protests have been today, there was about 80,000 people, significantly fewer people than were on the streets last weekend. tht this is the second weekend of protests when they had 300,000 people out there. macron is hoping this blows over. leland: we'll continue to watch it as the rioters are still in the streets this saturday evening, thank you.

kristin. >> the special counsel robert mueller may be nearing another plea deal. jerome corsi, a conservative writer and associate of roeg ro stone. he's confirmed he's in the process of a special plea deal with the team. and he's expecting to be indicted with perjury. >> investigators want to know if there was any kind of back door connection between the campaign and russia through wikileaks, he told friends in 2016 he believed that wikileaks had the e-mails of clinton chairman john podesta and would release them as an october surprise which they did. and he denied he had a secret to agreement to share that with roger stone, but last week, corsi said those po negotiations

blew up and he now believes it was a perjury trap. >> and my mind was mush going over the same ground over and over again. i'm going to wait and see what this indictment looks like. but we did try to cooperate. >> and corsi told the associated press he's in plea agreement with the team. in the probe of the wikileaks e-mails, repeatedly said he expects to be indicted on some points. he defended corsi and denied any kind of secret connection to or contact with wikileaks. >> i have no idea what this is about, other than to say that the assertion that jerry corsi knew in advance that john podesta's e-mails had been

obtained and would be published would be news to me because he never told me anything of kind and never obviously passed on any such documents. >> earlier this month, sources close to the president's legal team told fox news the special counsel's probe was winding down and that the wikileaks issue is one of the final pieces in their investigation. kristin. >> we've been hearing it's winding down for quite some time, garrett. it's going on just over a year and a half almost exactly. garrett tenney, thank you so much. leland: with that we bring in assistant attorney gener assista assistant attorney general and as kristin says, 18 months in and you've got corsi for possibly lying to investigators? >> i think what opponents of the president would hope is that corsi connects to stone, connects to the campaign, connects to russia somehow. >> and still-- >> it's like a four-way bank shot. leland: that's a lot of hopes 18

months in. conceivably do investigations typically go on this long and move this slowly if there's really substantial evidence of wrongdoing? >> they can, particularly independent counsel investigations have taken a long time. a year and a half is not that long. i thought this was going to end last year, you know, early in the year, and i was just dead wrong. so, it does seem like it's coming down to the end. you know, the top of the pyramid would be trump, he's submitted his questions and it should be winding up unless we see again-- i've been saying all along unless we see more than we've seen publicly, there's always a chance there's something that we don't know about, it seems nothing connects to trump collusion. leland: they got mike flynn and now jerome corsi, by his own admission, hits brain is mush, not worthy of the prosecution in a harrison ford role.

>> corsi has his own credibility issues. leland: do you think? >> when you're referred to by conspiracy theorists as your title, that doesn't gain many points in the credibility front. i'm not sure how powerful of a witness he would be. leland: what's mueller's game then? >> i think he's trying to wrap up any of the processes crimes and false statements to investigators, false statements to grand jury and serious charges to manafort and gates and those guys, unrelated to trump and russia. leland: where does this go from here if you're bob mueller or if you're mapping this out? is this getting closer to the president and closer to the campaign, or is this getting farther away? >> well, it's hard to know because you don't know what he's doing. i think the real question whether there's any inner circle people left. the president can't be indicted while he's in office, we know

that. so mueller could write a report on the president and possibly to congress. the question for me, at least, what's going to happen with kushner and don, jr. and those folks, are they in the clear or not? if it stops with what we've seen publicly it doesn't seen a ton there for the initial purpose of the probe. leland: not getting-- >> but the thing to pay attention to, whether there's any kind of people very close to the president that end up in mueller's cross-hairs before this ends. leland: we've never heard of corsi being close to kushner or don, jr. and certainly not to the now president. the link would be roger stone and we saw roger stone's denial in there, saying that if corsi-- saying if corsi is going to tell mueller a bunch of stuff it's news to me because he's never told me that. protest too much or does it seem consistent? >> stone has taken an unusual

approach going hard in the media on this and i don't understand it. leland: roger stone taking an unusual approach? who would have thought? >> you never know your own e-mails as well as as someone who has them. and relying on memory, someone else has got a bunch of e-mails and see. so if he's right, he's right. but they'll get proven soon enough. leland: it was interesting in his text message statement that he sent out yesterday when the corsi news broke, it was a s shermanesque, to the best of my recognition. >> i always say in lawyers in the legal situation look for the dependent clause. and there's no indication that corsi had the documents and was planning to publish them. [laughter] >> so i think that, again, there are a few gaps there that would be explored. leland: maybe that's what mueller is looking to explore.

bob driscoll who has been walking us through this for 18 months and probably a few more months at it. appreciate it my friend. tomorrow chris wallace talks to nebraska senator and member of the judiciary committee about the russia probe. no doubt this will come up. check your local listings for time and channel and media buzz 11 a.m. eastern tomorrow. >> president trump is pushing back on a report in the wall street journal that he's unhappy with treasury secretary steve mnuchin. he's in mar-a-lago, where he's been spending the thanksgiving holiday. hi, bryan. >> the stock down 4.4%, the dow. and s&p 500 connection territory. the wall street journal is reporting that the president is unhappy about the recent declines in the stock market and in fact is expressing more and

more dissatisfaction with treasury secretary steven mnuchin. the journal reports that he's blaming mnuchin of powell as federal reserve chairman. president trump says that he thinks that powell a raising the interest rates too quickly, that they're slowing down growth and spending. on wednesday, fred chairman powell is due to speak and they will be all ears if another hike is expected. since powell took office the fed has raisin interest rates three times from 1.5% in march to 2.75% now in september. and the higher interest rates makes it more expensive to borrow money and affecting spending. last night the president tweeted

about the journal's article and he said, it's not true. quote, i am extremely happy and the job being done by u.s. treasury secretary steven ma mnuchin, the fake news likes to write stories to the contrary quoting phony sources or jealous people, but they aren't true. they never like to ask me if a quote because it would kill the story. ab cabinet positions, we don't know which ones, there could be a couple, a few, he's always good at leaving a teaser. meanwhile, there's more and more conversation about the 6,000 or so migrants that are making up this caravan. many are in tijuana. the mayor of tijuana is issuing a humanitarian crisis. u.s. troops, about 5900 of them, they've put up barrier fences and they're on lethal force.

and if the caravan isn't getting under control soonest' thinking about shutting down the whole border. >> it gets to the level where we're going to lose control or people are going to get hurt, we'll close the entry into the united states. the whole border, i am ooh-- i mean the whole border and mexico will not be able to sell their cars into the united states where they make so many cars at great benefit to them. >> speaking of government shutdowns or shutdowns in general, the president, kristin, also threatening a shutdown in december if democrats and republicans can't come up with some $5 billion to fund that border wall. we've heard him threatening at least five times this year the same thing about shutting down the government over this border wall. we'll see if something can happen before january when democrats take control. >> bryan llenas near mar-a-lago.

leland: and tee yawn-- tijuana asking the united nations for help, seeking bathrooms and showers for the migrants. saying there are so many more people than they can provide services for. >> we can't stay like this. it's inhumane. we're living like dogs and the truth is i don't know what we are going to do. i'm getting tired. >> i don't complain about the food. at least they give us a little snack. we support those who came to us. leland: tijuana's mayor says he turned to the u.n., due to the lack of federal support, he's talking about the mexican government, to deal with the influx of migrants. >> for more on the border

battle, we bring in congressman duffy. >> thanks for having me on. >> i'd like to start with nearly 6,000 active duty troops deployed to the border. i know you're a big supporter of the president's immigration policies, but do you believe that deploying the 6,000 active duty troops that that's really the best use of them. >> take a step back, you see mexico, which allows the free pass for central american caravans to pass through mexico and hopefully get into the united states of america. because the president has now secured that part of the border where tijuana and the caravan is now located, mexico is having to deal with, you know, these 5,000 migrants and i think what you're seeing with the way the president's dealing with mexico and the caravan is, one, the president says you're not going to come in, but by way of an orderly process. number one. number two, if you can't control the caravan we are going to shut down our border and mexico can't

deal with the united states in care-free fashion. they have to deal with the immigration problem that we're facing at our border so the president has been smart saying we are going to stop this caravan. we're not going to incentivize future caravans from central america, free pass through mexico into the united states. this is how you stop the crisis at our borders. >> congressman, closing down the entire border, is that even really realistic? if so, how would you do that? >> reagan did it in the past and listen, it's an extreme measure, but the president's right. when you don't have borders, you don't have a country. if mexico doesn't cooperate not only are we just going to deal with the migrants in the caravan who are at our border, we'll deal with trade as well and that will be far more consequential for mexico than it is for the united states. iffer we a going to deal with the crisis in central america it has to be the united states and mexico partnering together, but if mexico thinks, again, they can just let people pass through the country and get access to

the united states they're going to have a rude awakening because donald trump isn't going to take it anymore and frankly, the congress in the next month and several days that republicans have control we're going to continue to try to push border security funding so we don't have to have the troops at the border, we can have a secure border by way of a wall. >> congressman as of now we've got 5600 active duty troops, i believe 1200 national guards troops. they're there this holiday weekend. that's my first question, i mean, do you personally believe this is the best use of our active duty military on the southern border. >> there's a question come back to you, say, listen, when prior caravans have come, they're breaking into the united states. they're storming our border and they're getting in. president trump has now sent troops as backup now we see they're not actually getting into the united states they're sitening tijuana and the mayor of tijuana says i have a humanitarian crisis on my hands which is a mexican problem. what the president has done with

the troops, it's working. people can't get across the border unless we say you can come in so the president's action is successful and i support that. >> president trump yesterday tweeted that republicans and democrats must come together on major border security package. he still wants funding for that wall. do you think that's going to happen? is that really a possibility when this new congress comes in? >> yes, so we have a partial government if undergo into next year and this is only funded to december 7th so we have a bill in the house that would give us $5 billion which is what the president requested to build the wall. the senate has less than $2 billion so we're going to have to try to come together to see if we can get the $5 billion for the president. the problem isn't in the house, in the senate 60 votes, nine democrats and every single republican to vote for the border wall. that's where the showdown is going to take place and listen, the president is sick of dealing with an insecurity border.

he ran on it, he wants to secure it and i think the threat is real that he may not sign a bill that doesn't give him the $5 billion to again build the wall and secure the border. i can't it will you what happens. the problem is not in the house, but the senate. >> i've got to leave it there and i know americans are hoping you all in congress can push through true meaningful immigration reform. . >> thank you, have a good day. >> leland. leland: as thousands of u.s. troops spent thanksgiving weekend on the u.s.-mexico border, we have the president's push to change immigration laws. bargain hunters battle to claim the best deals at scores big and small as well as online. will it be enough to help some strug retailers? these people peaceful while they look for bargains. and in california, continuing to search for body after the deadly

>> a fire in northern califor a california. after burning out of control for weeks, the camp fire in northern california is now 95% contained. the rains have been helping firefighters, but it's complicating the recovery efforts. our jeff paul is live in paradise, california, a community pretty much completely wiped out in the fire. hi, jeff. >> hi, kristin. the rain has started to taper off, fortunate search and recov crews as they continue to work around the clock. it will help them work faster. we saw utility trucks and fire trucks coming into town, hundreds of people helping this community recover. for the first time in days the death toll didn't rise at 84, but the number of people unaccounted for, the number is

going down where it sits at 475 people. the other bit of relief coming from mother nature. the rain is helping put out spot fires and so far no widespread reports of devastating mudslides or flooding. >> they're staring at the radar all night long, i barely slept because i wanted to make sure we had a couple of units out on the line and i was worried about them. >> i think we dodged a bullet we didn't get the rain rates that would have caused a debris flow. >> now, the focus in the coming days or at least, especially today, will be to make this area safer for people start to come back and assess those damages. there are talks about allowing more people back into the evacuated areas, but it's going to take a long time, nearly 14,000 homes destroyed just like the one behind us and several other businesses. kristin. kristin: yeah, and your heart goes out to all those folks who are now without a home this

thanksgiving weekend. jeff paul, thanks so much. leland: so many still missing as well. the latest national climate assessment report published this week indicates global temperatures are on the rise again. ellison barber looking into the report and you don't say there are some political implications to, too. >> right, this is an enormous report and the big take away here, they say the climate change is negatively impacting the united states. the report found that many climate events have already become more frequent, intense and widespread. officials say they expect many of those events to continue to increase or worsen. >> global average temperature is much higher and is rising more rapidly than anything modern civilization has experienced. and this warming trend can only be explained by human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases into the

atmosphere. >> if there is not substantial and sustained global mitigation in the efforts, they warn that climate change will cause growing losses to infrastructure and property and increase over this century. the report is over 1600 pages. it looks at the impacts of climate change now and in the future and some aspects of our economy could see improvement in a warmer world. longer term it's going to hurt the u.s. economy. this sort of assessment is every four years mandated by congress in the global research act of 1990. and part of the group that worked on this. the trump administration released it though the report seems to contradict some of the president's views on climate change. >> is it possible that climate change is a real issue here? >> we're looking at everything. it is land management and it's forest management really is what you mean, but we are going to be looking at every factor and we're going to get to the bottom of it.

>> economies and industries that are said to be particularly at risk are things like agriculture, tourism, fisheries and this just came out on friday so i expect we'll probably get more reaction from capitol hill. particularly republicans as we move ahead. leland: and from democrats as they take over congress in january. and they will be more of the progressive part of the democratic party. ellison barber, thanks. kristin. kristin: these are live images of protests in paris with confrontations with police and violence. why demonstrators are blaming the french president for high gas prices, plus, president trump calling for bipartisan support on the border wall. how he's calling for unity. george woke up in pain.

but he has plans today. so he took aleve this morning. hey dad. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can't do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long. now introducing aleve back and muscle pain, for up to 12 hours of pain relief with just one pill. that skills like teamwork, attention to detail, and customer service are critical to business success. the kind of skills, that work for you.

>> you're looking at live images of burning flares in the streets at night, as night falls in paris. violent clashes erupted between protesters and police today over rising gas prices. police used tear gas and water cannons to have crowd control. they' they're frustrated with president emmanuel macron on fossil fuels and energy. leland: these are happening on the outskirts of paris, it's

right now 6:30 in paris and those are the christmas lights in main christmas markets. you can see in the upper left-hand corner as we pan over, the riot police. and then you can see the water cannons there and where they have the running street battles and the protesters put up the barricades here. a big part of the french economy in december is tourism in december and these images are not exactly what the -- not exactly what you might call a tourist commercial. kristin: not the images that they want coming out headed into the big holiday rush, but you know, these protests have really been escalating pretty rapidly over the last few hours. it started as something fairly small, but as the night wore on, we've seen an increasing number of police on the streets and the clashes have really escalated. leland: we have to see if this spreads. with nearly 6,000 u.s. troops

deployed to the southern border, president trump now calling on bipartisan support to fund his border wall. talk radio host michael coolidge is joining us. good to see you as always. these images that we've got of u.s. troops stringing barbed wire and they're going to start helping the border patrol we've heard. those play well with the president's base. how do they play with the center? >> well, i think when you see troops guarding the border on an issue that the president really won the election on in 2016, it shows that he is trying to do everything he can to secure the border. it's not probably going to get help with congress as far as funding it goes, but these troops, a lot of people have complained, they don't want troops away from their families during the holidays. no one does, however, when you sign up to join the military, you raise your right hand, sometimes you go places you don't want to go and sometimes

you have to do things you don't want to do, and a lot of times, some of those memories you make on holidays deployed somewhere are really, really something else. leland: interesting perspective there. i guess the other question would be is that -- does this in some way strengthen the president's hand and republicans' hand as we head towards this december 7th deadline of funding the government and republicans trying to get the president some money for his wall? >> i think so. what would really strengthen his hand and he shouldn't do this because it would strengthen his hand, but because it's the right thing to do is visit the troops on the border. anytime the commander-in-chief, especially the commander-in-chief who made the decision to send troops somewhere and actually visits them, a long way toward morale. i was deployed in 2002-2003 and

gotten back to the states for iraqi freedom before president bush went there and surprised the troops on thanksgiving, i had friends that it went a long way towards morale. leland: interesting you bring this up at a time when president trump's gotten a lot of heat for not visiting u.s. troops in war zones. >> yes. and-- >> fair criticism? >> because he made this decision -- it's a fair criticism, but he would maybe argue that he wasn't the commander-in-chief that sent troops to iraq and afghanistan, for example. he is the one responsible forcing the troops to this border with mexico. so him showing up there, i think, would be a great thing for everyone. leland: interesting. haven't heard any plans for him to visit. certainly the optics of which as you point out might change the narrative. so your idea would be to go down there and hang out with the troops as we watch pictures of the troops there frying turkeys on the border during their deployment, go down there and argue for the wall in front of

the border that he has troops on. >> absolutely. and december 15th is the date they're supposed to be done. if they're not done there, if he decides to extends them he should spend christmas with them and i think again, it would go a long way toward their morale and might force the democrats' hand, who knows. leland: laredo, texas is a different scene than mar-a-lago. we know that. interesting point on that. this deadline for republicans though in order to get funding for the government and let the government shut down around christmas comes a lot quicker than that. politically expedient for the president to shut down the government over this or are democrats and the media going to force his hand with the pictures on the other side of the wall, meaning all of these people in tijuana and other places living in camps waiting to come to america for a better life? >> i'm not a fan of lame did you

go legislating. if the border isn't funded before december 7th we are going to have to wait until the next decade until there's another opportunity for this, so shutting down the government might be the only way for president trump to fund the border. leland: all right. mr. koolidge, joining us from chicago, the windy city where it's cold behind you on the bridge. nice to see you as always. >> you as well. kristin: one u.s. service member was killed in afghanistan today, but details on the soldier's identity and the exact time and place of death have not been released. an afghan official confirmed that two afghan soldiers were also killed in a separate incident where their helicopter made an emergency landing in the southern kandahar province. they reported that the landing was due to a technical problem, but the taliban are claiming responsibility for shooting that helicopter down. leland: and when we come back,

back to france as violence erupts in the streets. thousands of protesters, they're the ones in the yellow vests, upset over rising gas prices and clashing with police. where this heads from here on saturday night in paris. all right. there was madness on black friday. we know kristin fisher was out shopping early on friday for my christmas gift. more details to come on cyber monday. now retails are keeping up this holiday season and what the early numbers mean for the u.s. economy. ♪ ♪ i want it all, i want it all ♪ ♪ toyland, toyland

>> well, that's what black friday looked like at this shopping mall in chattanooga,

tennessee. and that's mom and pop stores are waiting. katherine, thanks for coming in on small business saturday. thanks for having me. kristin: in researching this segment this was started by american express. and since then it's become a popular day. what do you think it's caught on? >> as you mentioned, it's become really popular. of the consumers, millions of consumers who are out shopping today, about eight in ten plan to shop specifically to support their small businesses. and i think a lot of that has to do with people want to support their local communities. they like the connection to those small retailers and a lot of these small retailers really focus on family events around small business saturday. so you have family in town, you want to get out of the house, you can go have fun in your local community and, of course, do some shopping.

kristin: sort of in this age of amazon, this is the exact opposite of that. how are these smaller mom and pop shops, we've heard bad things, it's tough to compete. how are they doing in this new era? >> well, we're seeing the convergence of physical and digital in all shopping, but a lot of the retailers are online businesses. it's not just limited to the big guys. they are opening online sites, either in addition to their physical stores. they're connecting with their consumers on social, and so-- >> is it working? >> it is. we are seeing a lot of the small businesses we represent really getting out, connecting with their customers on instagram and facebook. we saw from the numbers people are excited about this event and they want to support small businesses and they're able to do that. kristin: are there particular cities where it's more popular than others? >> we see it across the board j upstate new york to texas to southern california, we really

see this kicking off. kristin: i want to get into the trump administration's tariffs because i know it's going to impact retailers, especially the mom and pop retailers. 20 to 25% going into effect in january. how are they doing? what are they doing now to offset the costs? >> we don't expect the tariffs to impact the retail in the season. they know it's a time of year and they know the tariffs are coming. we expect all retailers of all sizes to be able to manage their inventory, manage the tariffs and really be able to finish the year out strongly, but as you mentioned, it is definitely a concern. we have talked to some small business retailers, now, who are seeing an impact, who are, you know, hopeful that things will work out and that they won't see those 25% increases, but that's definitely something. kristin: i've heard of some

retailers stocking up on their inventory before these tariffs go into effect. one more question, and it's coming from my co-anchor, but i think it's a big one that a lot of folks have. you know, your inbox just gets a ton of e-mails from retailers around this time of year. how do you know if you're getting the actual best deal? i mean, there's so much, this is the deal of the year, the deal of the year. how do you know if you're actually getting the best one? >> historically we know it's one of the best times to get the deals. kristin: trust the retailers? >> trust historically, mark the items you really want to get, especially technology items or apparel, this is the time of the year you're going to see some of the best deals on those items and on toys. really watch what people are putting out and that's what we tell people, do your research. kristin: do your research, that's good advice. did you get the answer you were looking for, leland? >> no. kristin: he wants a fact check on all e-mails that come in.

leland: i want a guarantee. kristin: thank you so much. >> thank you. kristin: leland. leland: i'm still thinking of what i'll get you for christmas. and jacqui heinrich is in one of the busiest airports in the country. don't we wish you were with you. >> the things i do for family. a monster of a storm expected to wallop the midwest as hundreds of travelers are expected to make their way home. i've got the details coming up. capital one cafes. inviting places with people here to help you, not sell you. and savings and checking accounts with no fees or minimums. because that's how it should be. you can open one from right here or anywhere in 5 minutes. seriously, 5 minutes... this is banking reimagined.

what's in your wallet?

>> welcome back. a record number of travelers taking to the skies or open road this holiday season and we're shelling out more for gas. gases are higher at the pump than they've been in years. jacqui heinrich the latest from laguardia airport, can't say we wish we were with you. >> leland, for the most part the storm held off until after turkey dinner. it's threatening a pack a powerful punch as travelers head home on sunday. an estimated 54.3 million people will be travelling 50 miles or more for the holiday weekend.

according to triple-a, increase over the last three years. it's been climbing steadily. while many are driving, they've add the 1200 officers and 80 k-9s across the country. and they recommend public transportation to get to the airport so the streets don't get clogged. 95% of flights are full. and if the storms get here, they could be holiday stranded. significant wind and snowfall by late weekend. winter weather warnings and advisories extend from wyoming to missouri and some places could see white-out conditions. >> i've told everybody they need to get the bad weather, the snow, 24 inches, i don't care what you have, but when i get back on december 10th, nothing. >> 100% when you're travelling with seven children.

>> it's no surprise the top ten travel destinations are balmy and warm with out of ten, 50 or higher. other people have to travel home and hope they do before the nasty weather makes landfall. leland: kristin. kristin: much more in the next hour of america's news headquarters. a plea deal may be in the works with robert mueller. we'll talk to congressman darrell issa about this. and attention to detail, and customer service are critical to business success. like the ones we teach here, every day. than rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move

>> hope you're enjoying them. i'm thinking about leftovers, i don't know why. >> i'm not thinking about leftovers. i ate plenty yesterday for about a week. leland: from washington i'm leland vittert. >> words of advice for the acting attorney general for how to handle special counsel probe and coming coming from former independent counsel. leland: turkey's prime minister slams president trump for turning blind eye to murder of jamal khashoggi.

>> rising fuel taxes courtesy of the emanuel macron government. first, another plea deal. conservative writer and associate of roger stone has confirmed he's in the process of negotiating a plea deal with the special counsel's team. garrett tenney live with more. >> the fact that he's an associate of roger stone here because investigators have been trying to connect trump campaign with russia. he believed wikileaks had e-mail clinton -- he would use that to pass along to adviser stone who would have shared with trump campaign, has been cooperating

and denies having any backdoor contact with wikileaks or any kind of arrangement existed. of course, he now says he's discussing plea deal with special counsel, last year he discussed cooperation as walking into a perjury trap. >> i fully anticipate that the next few days i will be indicted by mueller for some form or other for giving information to the special counsel but i almost criminally charged and this has bun one of the most frightening experiences of my life. >> earlier sources told legal team that special counsel probe is winding down and wikileaks is one of the final pieces, the future of the mueller probe, though, now in the hands of acting attorney general mat whitaker who previously criticized the investigation. this morning on fox news, former independent counsel kim star says whitaker has a lot of authority over mueller's work.

>> he can influence major decisions, major steps, that's a judgment call, but he cannot under the regulations interfere with the independence of day-to-day operations, let's just say hypothetically that robert mueller was suppose to consider indictment, he needs to go to attorney general and say this is what i'm intending to do and that's within the prerogative to say yea or nay. >> and if whitaker did step in, we would certainly find out about it because he's required to provide congress with an explanation and democrats have promised they will hold him accountable if he tries to do anything like that, kristin. >> democrats have much more power and ability to hold him accountable now that they control the house. leland. leland: with that, we bring

california congressman. jarome corsi something to worry about? >> i don't think so, i think what we have is echo and every time you -- every time the echo you hear the same thing again, the challenge is to stay focused on their agenda even as democrats take over and begin issuing onslaught of subpoenas. leland: fair to say that you have been on both sides of this in the house so you would know more than almost anyone, the house can make robert mueller's investigation look like child play when you have 20 plus committees with oversight ability. >> it can make it more confusing, they want to get into what robert mueller has been doing and, you know, in the past they'll say, oh, no, let the independent prosecutor do his job, now they want to be investigated every aspect of the

presidency while at the same time the most salacious part of it is the campaign, the russia probe and so on and so one of the challenges for nancy pelosi is actually keep her people focused on the day-to-day oversight of the government rather than president trump directly which is clearly what they promised. leland: one could say the same thing to republicans on the judiciary committee who are subpoenaing loretta lynch and james comey about things that happened years ago. >> not really, not really, leland. that's an example where -- leland: how is that not relying -- relitigatng the past? >> interference with prosecutors and investigation, you to understand, you do understand that you had a meeting on the tarmac with loretta lynch and a former president and inappropriately and then --

leland: how do the american people fairly look at this something other than republicans only have month left in control, this is one last chance to bring lynch and comey back on to the frying pan, how do you assume this is in good faith, really? >> in fairness, comey never answered. leland: never answered under oath? >> right, well, he's gone out of his way to duck a series of opportunities both publicly and privately. leland: he says he will show up publicly. >> i understand he wants to have spectacle where he doesn't answer questions. you're right about one thing, one month left in the house, the senate is less likely to be aggressive. fact that going out of business sale on one side and people like jerry nadler saying on the train that he's going to in fact, remove justice of the supreme court, something that's never been done for actions 30

years before he came, these two both beg the question of, are they doing legitimate oversight leading to legislation and that's what really matters. leland: that was nancy pelosi, do we legislate or investigate. discussion about the border, growing crisis, unstoppable force which is the growing crisis on the border, the unmovable object which december 7th, funding the government, right now you have $1.6 billion for the wall in the senate, $5 billion for the wall coming out of the house. would republicans be well served and the president be well served by shutting down the government if they don't get the 5 full billion. >> we need the 5 billion and more and we need to be able to deal, for example, with the asylum requests. leland: no issue about whether or not you need the 5 billion and the president wants the 5 billion, is it worth shutting the government down as lame-duck congress over it?

>> the nature of congress is you can shut down the government if you don't get enough or you can add other things that bring people together, for example, bringing more money to screen asylum seekers, helps tijuana, helps san diego and, in fact, it's something the democrats would have a hard time voting against but you're right about one thing, not having enough money to take care of a border crisis where méxico is facilitating people coming to our border and climbing over the fence. leland: i'm getting a hard wrap, i'm asking you a third time, is it worth shutting a government down if there's not 5 billion for wall? >> it's never worth sending to senate and letting the senate decide how they will deal with ours, we have sent them 5 billion, if we need to send them 5 billion -- leland: what if you need to send 4? >> with small tweaks, that's a deal. leland: interesting, we finally got somewhere, we appreciate it,

good luck, you'll be on the other side, all the best. >> thank you. >> turkish officials are blasting president trump and accusing for turning blind eye on the murder of jamal khashoggi. bryan llenas in west palm beach, very close to southern white house and the president's mar-a-lago resort. >> good afternoon, kristin, president trump makes it clear that he believes that saudi arabia is just too important of an ally to risk this partnership over the murder of the washington post columnist jamal khashoggi. now, obviously on thanksgiving he spent that time reemphasizing the importance of saudi arabia when it comes to fighting iran and defending israel and made a point how important saudi arabia was to the economy. >> they create tremendous wealth and tremendous number of jobs in

their purchases and very importantly, they keep the oil price, if you want to see global depression, all you have to do lift $50 a barrel which can happen quickly once we lose the relationship. >> well, the president sentiments prompted turkey's foreign minister to say, quote, trump's statements amount to him say i will turn a blind eye no matter what. money isn't everything, we must not move away from human values. the turks and saudis do not get along and turkey has been providing intelligence to the united states about the murder of jamal khashoggi including reported audiotapes of the murder where body was chopped up. the washington post report cia has concluded that jamal khashoggi was assassinated at the hands of saudi agents and that they were directed by and ordered by saudi's crown prince.

cia has not concluded that the crown prince ordered assassination, he says the cia report is in fact, inconclusive and the crown prince denies allegation to trump. cia can't be trusted. listen. >> those same intelligence organizations are not necessarily as accurate as they should be. the invasion of iraq was based on so-called intelligence estimates by that same organization that produced this remarkably flawed assessment about this incident. >> that was a cheap shot from royal prince, saudi family talking about the cia. the u.s. has sanctioned 17 members to have saudi royal family, the saudis have arrested

11 people that were part of murder, 5 are facing the death penalty but now, kristin, there's growing bipartisan pressure for the president to do more, in fact, adam schiff is way to go washington post that he wants to open investigation on capitol hill. kristin. >> president trump making it very clear that he wants to put business first, u.s. business interest with saudi first. bryan llenas, thank you so much. leland: and fox news alert as we go live to the streets of paris, normally with christmas markets and lighted trees, it is riot police there who are involved in violent clashes with protestors. thousands have taken to the street because they are angry about rising gas taxes which were implemented by french president, hi, ryan. >> hi, leland, the police say there are about 30,000 protestors out there to be exact, not just in paris but in

cities and towns across the country and as you might see from some of the pictures they are super easy to spot because they are all wearing bright yellow high visibility vests, the ones that you have to carry in your vehicle by law in case you get in an accident. why are they angry? french president emmanuel macron plans to hike taxes on fuel in the coming year, diesel, the fuel of choice, cost 6.37 a gallon, they used litters but i have converted for you. the tax went up about 30 cents a gallon this year, and if macron gets his way it will go up another 25 cents starting january 1. macron says those taxes are are needed to discourage people buying cars, working-class people that do not live in the capital but they need their cars to get to work, commute, go to

stores, they say it's -- the taxes are just too high. macron is already battling a perception that he is out of touch with the working class people in france, some critics referred to him as the president of the rich. now you may be listening at home scratching your head, wait a minute, the price of oil is falling, the price at the pump for the united states has been falling and that's a bit of the irony in this and that is true as well in france, prices are the highest they've been at any point in the last 10 years and a lot of french people saying this is not the right time to raise our taxes, back to you. leland: all right, we will have to watch if macron breaks on this one as the images continue to come out of france, ryan, thank you, kristin. kristin: new report just out yesterday that climate change will cost the u.s. economy hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century and it'll affect everything from our health to real estate and infrastructure.

ellison barber here with me live with more and this is a report that has potential to impact every american. >> right, obviously a hot button issue topic on capitol hill for political standpoint we will hear more about it but this report essentially says that climate change is happening fast and it is report as kristin you just said a report by the federal government, they say that climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent, intense and widespread. >> the continued warning that's projected to occur with greenhouse omissions the expected to cost substantial net damage to the u.s. economy especially in the absence of increased adaptation efforts. >> the national climate assessment is 1600 page report that looks at impacts of climate change now and in the future, the report says annual losses in some economic sectors are project today reach hundreds of billions of dollars by the end to have century and that high-tide flooding already po --

possesses daily risk, business, transportation, and ecosystems in the region. at one point the report say that is aspects of the economy could see some improvement in a warmer world but long-term the author of this report says it's going to hurt americans causing health and pocketbook issues. >> global average temperatures much higher and is rising more rapidly than anything modern civilization has experienced and the warming trend can only be explained by human activities especially emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. >> sort of assessment is released every four years, mandated by congress and enact the global research act from 1990, 13 federal agencies part of the group. report seems to contradict some of president trump's views on climate change.

democrat alexandria ocasio-cortez is responding to this, people are going to die if we don't start addressing climate change and in her tweet she called for select committee on green new deal, obviously new report. more people come back and they will hear from the left and right. kristin: the fact that it was released black friday, a day when most americans are out shopping with families and not necessarily paying attention to the news is getting quite a bit of criticism. leland. leland: hard to deal whether that's tear gas or rubber bullets or smoke grenades, the clashes on the streets of paris are real and they continue into the night, this violent day over gas prices. we will keep watching the streets as they unfold and president trump doubling down on his feud with chief justice john

robert and why he isn't getting fair shake and in final weeks when democrats are getting over congress. >> in order to secure border wall funding. are you prepared to go on a shutdown strategy during the lame duck since this might be your last best chance? >> not necessarily. look, i speak to democrats all of the time. they agree that a wall is necessary. a wall is necessary. as you know, we are building the wall. i found my tresiba® reason. now i'm doing more to lower my a1c. once daily tresiba® controls blood sugar for 24 hours for powerful a1c reduction. tresiba® is a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. don't use tresiba® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

bump in pelosi's house leadership, for more let's bring in political panel, democratic strategists, robin byro and brad blakeman, thanks for being with us, guys on the holiday weekend. >> thank you. kristin: i want to start with nancy pelosi's chances at becoming house speaker if two current leads holds, democrats will control 234 seats next year and that means that pelosi can really only afford to lose -- to lose 16 votes, but 15 democrats have signed a letter saying that they will not support her, so how realistic is it that she will become the next speaker, brad i will start with you. >> i think it's touch and go and meeting around the clock trying to get the votes, she's silenced those, we -- who had hint of running against her. problem solver's caucus already has a problem and possibly with the new speaker who is the old

speaker nancy pelosi, they have having trouble in paradise, it wouldn't be something that needed republican votes and that the president would deliver speakership. kristin: could happen, stranger things have happened in 2018. robin, democratic strategists, any democrats merging as real challengers to pelosi? >> kristin, there are none, we thought we had one with fudge but, of course, she just -- she just endorsed pelosi, so really there are zero right now to challenge nancy pelosi and, you know, i have been a frequent critic of her but she does know how to get the votes, she's been whipping the votes, she says she's got them and as much as i wanted fresh new blood, she does know how to work some deals and to give her credit where it's due, right out of the gate, when early trump's term she helped negotiate that interim spending bill when the gop couldn't get it together. so i'm hopeful that we can get some change, i just would like

to see more diversity and capitalize some of the new progressives that we have in the party. kristin: robin, what does this say about the state of democrats in the house if they literally can't come up with at least one person to be a viable challenger? >> yeah, it's tricky and that's where we've got some problems because with a lack of female black candidates right now in the house, it doesn't look good, we have zero in leadership right now in the senate so that's -- getting a lot of pushback from people in my party right now because of that and i decry identity politics but it's a serious issue right now that we have to address because we could face some losses in 2 years if we don't. kristin: brad, what does it say to you? >> the resistance to have democratic party continues. i think this is more about revenge and getting power back than actually having new leadership, the democrats are in a conundrum. a lot of them who see themselves as socialist democrats, so they have an identity crisis, they

are short of leadership as my friend just said and just having nancy pelosi come back in and of itself doesn't speak well of the gains they just made. kristin: you know, so many democrats, incoming democrats ran on message of promise to go change the house leadership, so now if nancy pelosi becomes the house speaker again, robin, do you think the same democrats will be in trouble? >> no, i don't think they will be in trouble but i really do wonder since no one else has stepped up to mantle of leadership to run against her, what are they going to do, are they going to cast no vote, it's a challenging question for them as freshman incoming leadership. kristin: yeah, their hands are pretty tied, what do you think, brad? >> this is a game of muscling out people, as my friend just said, they are not being offered leadership position. there's no second price, nancy gets all the leadership

positions that she wants, her people back in power and really we are going to have a taste of what nancy pelosi will be in january by the lame duck, are we going to get spending bill, shutdown in the government, this would tell the story about what we can expect in 2019. kristin: odds are that she will become the next speaker, certainly sounds and looks that way when you are 6 weeks out and no viable challengers, pretty incredible. thank you so much. >> pleasure. >> leland. >> thank you. leland: new york state judge says lawsuit against president trump and charity can move forward after the president's attorneys requested the suit to be thrown out. judge stated it was fair for new york's attorney general to argue the suit against trump and family, the state's ag argued they violated charity laws by using foundation to advance campaign. kristin: coming up republican lawmakers are loading up their congressional agenda for the lame-duck session before the democrats take back the house, so what can we expect from

congress over the next few weeks, any room for bipartisanship? an american sailor rescued after 12 hours at sea, how he found a way to brave the dicey waters. jardiance asked- and now you know. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill proven to both reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...and lower a1c, with diet and exercise.

kristin: fox news alert as u.s. embassy in the democratic republic of congo says it has

specific information of possible terror attack, the embassy sending out statement moments ago saying, quote, the united states embassy has received credible and specific information of a possible terrorist threat against u.s. government facilities. the embassy will be closed on monday and we will bring you the latest developments as the story unfolds. ♪ ♪ leland: when congress comes back this week for their lame-duck session republicans have a long wish list and it's unclear if they have the votes to get it all done, democrats take control of the house in january and as we have heard promised to make the most of their newfound power. with that we bring gop strategists jen, nice to see you as always. start with this, what -- bipartisan, a few things can get done, criminal justice reform act that the president and anything else that has support

on both sides? >> looking at what to expect from the new 116th congress is kind of like the book what can you expect when you're expecting when you're pregnant, you don't know what it'll be like, 9 months of hard labor and extreme discomfortable, i think that's the new position for the gop in washington. as for the lame duck, i think you'll see some quick agenda items there fairly quickly as you were talking with darrell issa, they have the december 7th looming to fund the government, trump certainly would like for the border wall to be funded and this is probably his last shot to do so before his reelection effort in 2020, so that'll be interesting to see if the gop has the backbone to do that. leland: what's going to be the point, you talk about 116th congress, what's the inflection point that everybody in washington can always agree about spending more money, that's universal.

where are republicans going to have to take a stand against nancy pelosi, chuck schumer and if they decide to make a deal with the president? >> well, look, if you look at nancy pelosi's top priorities which she has sort of hinted at in the last couple of weeks it reads like a left-wing manifesto, you've got chief among her top priorities are gun control, taking on the pharmaceutical companies, which they've actually been doing a decent job looking at free market solutions to bring down prescription drug prices and you look at this voting right's law that pelosi says she will launch first and foremost as she continues to slanter the republican party suggesting that they somehow suppress the votes in the state of georgia and florida. leland: all right, jen, we appreciate it, thanks so much and we will talk to you soon, kristin. kristin: scary moments caught on camera of american sailor being rescued from the sea off the coast of australia on thursday,

roberts has been speaking a little bit about it and i think we have a lot of respect for him, i like him and respect him but i think we have to use some common sense. ninth circuit, everybody knows that it's totally out of control. ation. an act of kindness. an old friend. a new beginning. some welcome relief... or a cause for celebration. ♪ what's inside? ♪ [laughter] possibilities. what we deliver by delivering.

leland: officials say they have attack of extremists understand control, opposition lawmakers say 44 soldiers died in the attack, the government will not confirm that number or give out any other details on casualties. kristin: president trump is now doubling down on feud with chief justice john roberts by accusing judiciary of undermining national security. we will dig into this with

commentary video editor and writer at the washington examiner, thanks for coming on. >> thank you so much for having me. >> for president trump to criticize individual judges and rulings, i mean, that's nothing new, but what is new here for the chief justice of supreme court to actually respond to him. it was truly unprecedented response earlier this week, when you heard about it, what did you make of it? >> certainly the biggest take away here that's an interesting time for chief justice john roberts to engage with president trump in this manner. it could signal to other federal judge that is john roberts is trying to say that he has their backs, but john roberts actual comments are somewhat out of touch because president trump actually has a point here, valid point to make about the judiciary being politicized and it's unfortunate but it's true and one of the things that you can actually look to is senate minority leader chuck schumer a

democrat essentially in an effort to agree with john roberts also agreed with the president saying that the judiciary has become politicized, citing citizens united and shelby as particular rule that is have become politicized. kristin: almost feels like anything in this day and age has become politicized. the point of chief justice roberts, we don't have obama judges, we don't have bush judges, all we have is independent judges who are crying to do their best on a case-by-case basis. as president trump, you know, continues to attack the individual cases and rulings is he undermining our faith in these institutions? >> i think it's a little bit of a stretch to say that he's undermining our democracy and undermining the institutions, you know, any time the federal judiciary hands down a ruling that people don't agree with, a lot of times the critics cite politics or the politicization of the courts and that's certainly no different here and certainly the president going

after john roberts and the ninth circuit on brand for the president but beyond that, i think there's a large contingent of the population, trump supporters who are going to have the president's back no matter what, and for john roberts to engage in somewhat a war of words with president trump is not doing himself or his cause any favors right now. kristin: any case to be made that the ninth circuit has been unfair, i'm not making the case, but case that president trump, ruled against trump administration policies on daca, sanctuary cities funding, the travel ban, the asylum issues, i mean, is there a point -- does president trump have a point that there's been a thorn in his side as he said? >> yeah, absolutely. president trump is right the ninth circuit has definitely been a thorn in his

administration's side but him getting john roberts, it's poking the bear a little bit. if trump believes that the courts have been politicized, kind of going after them again is kind of tempting faith and you may risk the ninth circuit or other circuits of judiciary ruling against the trump administration on even less controversial items or executive actions. kristin: well, president trump did seem to try to tone down the rhetoric just a little bit by saying he does really like the chief justice so a little bit of cooling the rhetoric there but in terms of the ninth circuit, is there anything that president trump or the trump administration could do about it? >> well, the one thing that president trump could do is to not tweet as much. pretty much everyone in the administration while we in the media enjoy president trump tweeting very early in the morning or throughout the day -- kristin: we enjoy that?

[laughter] >> maybe i enjoy that but there are certainly parts of the administration that -- that maybe undermine when he does tweet and while he does control the message, there are definitely some risks to it and it could -- we may not know right away what happens with trump versus the judiciary but if something happens that was against the trump administration that would be the turning point, his beef with john roberts as the main signal that basically led to all the other things. kristin: i like the 7:00 a.m. tweets from the president trump, 6:00 a.m. that's just a little too early. >> i love the 5:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. tweets specifically. kristin: thank you. >> thank you, kristin. leland: after the break, president trump heading to mississippi for one more campaign stop as voters head to runoff election in tight senate race, will it be enough for a republican in the race for her political life?

following meeting with constituent where he said, quote, if he invited me to public hanging i would be on the front row. >> for anyone that was offended by my comment, i certainly apologize. i also recognize that this comment was twisted and it was turned into a weapon to be used against me. a political weapon used for fog but personal and political gains by my opponent, that's the type of politics mississippians are sick and tired of. >> comments were -- they came out of your mouth, we know what came out of your mouth, it went viral within the first 3 minutes around the world and so it's caused our state horror, given the state another black eye that we don't need, rejuvenated stereotypes that we don't need anymore and wal-mart wrote you today and told you that your comments did not reflect the values of their company.

kristin: we are headed to runoff, november 27th runoff election that would not affect the balance of power in the senate but it will help determine the size of the gop majority. leland: republicans are worried about that seat. on the house side all but two races in new york have been decided, the outstanding races are in new york's 22nd and 27th district where both incumbent candidates are republican, the race won't impact balance of power as you can see, democrats now maintain the majority in the house with at least 233 seats, republicans at 200. kristin: midterms are over now, now it's time to 2020 presidential campaign, not quite yet, still ways out but a group of voters with a help of harvard professor and team of lawyers are already challenging the electoral system. >> in recent years the loudest critics have been democrats,

particularly after hillary clinton won the popular vote but lost the election in 2016, the second democrat after al gore to suffer such a blow this century. now a new legal challenge with cross partisan backing aims to tweak the system and change the winner take all allocation used by the vast majority of states. >> the system doesn't benefit small states, it benefits battleground states, national popular vote would benefit large states. >> target red and blue states specifically texas and south carolina, massachusetts and california. plaintiffs include both democrat and republican voters. harvard professor part of the group suing explains. >> the solution we are looking for is proportion of electors would benefit every voter in every state that has an opportunity to swing an elector to presidential candidate. >> the group argues proportional

allocation beyond the swing states and votes cast would not be discarded simply because the voter is not in the majority. for instance, in texas, nearly 4 million votes were cast for clinton but all 38 electoral college votes went to trump. in massachusetts, trump did not collect any of the state's 11 electoral votes though 1 million voted for him. massachusetts secretary of state william galvin is fighting the suit. >> many people serving from my party are frustrated by the fact that the popular vote is not the person sitting in the white house, casting more uncertainty into the process by having this sort of irrational system of percentages and way to vote does not make sense. >> the plaintiffs hope to see case reach supreme court prior to 2020 election, in boston molly, fox news. leland: all right, the golf game that truly will go down in history, so how many holes did

it take for one of the legends to walk out with $9 million? today, 97% of employers agree that skills like teamwork, attention to detail, and customer service are critical to business success. like the ones we teach here, every day.

underwater. in some tests, one dolphin would actually wait for the second dolphins they could then press the buttons simultaneously. so leland, they're working together. clearly they are smarter than congress. [laughter] leland: i was going to say dare i say, smarter than the average dolphin? >> i like mine better. i think mind -- leland: we will put it to a vote on twitter. whose lame animal joke was better? >> tiger or phil? >> i like tiger but didn't have his day essay. leland: phil mickelson walking away with bragging rights after winning a one-on-one game of golf.they picked the winner come the last three holes on a makeshift fairway. phil mickelson called it

special and he would bring it up every time he sees tiger. not surprisingly! and he offered to buy tiger lunch every time he sees him. christ i cannot believe i missed it! i was watching the uva game. leland: it gave you hope. and with that -- your newfound hope. the news from new york continues. >> in the word of a potential game changer in u.s. immigration policy along the southern border. the trump administration has reportedly cut a deal with mexico incoming government on asylum overhaul. the plan in part can impact migrants i have made or are making their way to the us. hello everyone welcome to inside "america's news headquarters", i'm arthel neville. and i am in for eric shawn. the "washington post" is -- they say they would require migrants to remain in
