ones, emojis, hashtag, the most millennial ever, selling for 20 bucks at first, now 75. supply and demand. paul: that's it, thanks to my panel, thanks for watching, i'm paul gigot, i hope to see you right here next week. >> fox news alert, the trump administration has cut a deal with the incoming mexican government potentially overhauling long-standing asylum rules as thousands of central american migrants look to enter the u.s. hello and welcome to america's news headquarters i'm rick in for eric sean. arthel: i'm arthel neville, the plan would require migrants to remain in méxico as claims move through u.s. courts but this latest development could face illegal hurdle, human rights actives and others argue the moves could put migrants at risk and undermine lawful right to
1:01 pm
apply for asylum. days after president trump threatened to shut down the entire southern border. the president authorized troops to use legal force, lethal force if necessary to stop migrants from i legally entering the country. >> our southern border will be very strong. they are so proud the job they are doing and you have to have borders, if you don't have borders, you don't have country democrats want open borders and they want the people coming in. many of those people are criminals. arthel: bryan llenas following all of this from west palm beach, florida, near the president's mar-a-lago estate where he's spending the holiday weekend. hi, bryan. >> remain in méxico, now, look, nothing has been finalized, nothing has been signed but according to washington post
1:02 pm
under the new plan, immigrants traveling through méxico to the united states seeking asylum will have to remain in méxico until their applications are processed. on average, arthel, asylum application takes about 2 to 5 years to be processed and you had human rights activists who were saying 2 to 5 years with potential refugees staying in cartel-owned territory along the border. both mexican and u.s. officials hope this will deter people and future caravans, this reported agreement between méxico's president elect andrés manuel lopez obrador and trump provides solution to the so-called catch and release policy that the president has continuously railed against. according to this policy, those who come into the united states seeking asylum are let go into the united states until their applications are processed, now some never show up for their court dates and the white house reach out for comment and they have neither confirming nor denying that the plan is set but
1:03 pm
this is what the white house said to fox news in a statement, quote, president trump has developed a strong relationship with the incoming obrador administration and we look forward to working with them on a wide range of issues, now president obrador takes office december 1st, this is all happening as more than 5,000 migrants in the caravan have camped out in tijuana, méxico, the mayor there has declared humanitarian crisis, many are trying to claim asylum in the u.s. where the asylum backlog is massive, look at the numbers, the number of asylum applications has more than tripled over the last 5 years from 141,000 -- i'm sorry, from 43,000 to 141,000 in 2017. there's a backlog of some 318,000 asylum applications and as a result the trump administration has adopted a last one in first one out policy, they are trying to go through all of the asylum application that is have
1:04 pm
recently come in quickly so that they can deter people from trying to come here for asylum cases all of this as the president is threatening to shut down the government if congress doesn't come up with some $5 billion that he wants to build the wall. >> could there be a shutdown, there certainly could and it will be about border security which the wall is important. >> 5900 u.s. troops have been deployed to the border to back up the border patrol. they are unarmed and have mostly layed down wire, even the troops are allowed to detain migrants but only for a few minutes, the minute that they get a migrant if that were to happen, by law they are supposed to give to border patrol and local police. according to washington post, arthel, the troops at the border played a part in the calculus here with the plan. it was part of what a mexican officials considered when they were coming up with the plan with the trump administration.
1:05 pm
arthel. arthel: bryan llenas, thank you very much. rick. >> for more on this, let's bring in kelly jane lawrence, deputy editor for the weekly standard, thanks for coming in on a saturday of a holiday weekend. >> thanks for having me, rick. >> kelly jane, my guess is the president is celebrating the asylum overhaul agreement with the mexican government? >> i think it is very good news for the administration though there are still details to be worked out and details that, you know, we are not sure if they are addressing them and certainly one of those things as your reporter mentioned is the safety of my greats in -- migrants in border area. the trump administration was worried about -- we have actually -- last month saw the most -- the highest number of people who crossed the border illegally since donald trump became president and that was 60,000 people in one month came illegally over the u.s.-méxico border. so this problem has, it's been going in waves but right now it is a big and i think donald
1:06 pm
trump can be very happy and i think a lot of people were surprised given that the incoming mexican president is actually a socialist, there was a lot of worry could donald trump and obrador work out a plan and apparently they got along -- the people from both administrations got along surprisingly well they said and that the meetings were cordial. >> there were a lot of critics of the president when he moved all those u.s. troops to southern border as bryan and reasons that méxico agreed to change these rules. >> exactly. now the administration is actually been trying to get a deal with méxico for -- for months now, long before actually the caravan started. that obviously has heated things up and made it a little more timely. they we wanted to get it done faster. méxico has been resisting it but as soon as donald trump put some troops at the border and said, you know what f this is a problem we are going to close those crossings down, méxico did something. i have to say, one of the pieces
1:07 pm
of the washington post story i found most interesting is you had the incoming interior minister, again, socialist government says, méxico has open arms but, you know, we can't bring -- we can't allow caravan after caravan to come in here, so certainly i think realism played a big role and people seeing, okay, this is a situation, we have our ideals, we have what we think the perfect world would be but we have to deal with the world we are in and even the socialists have to do that sometimes. >> in the world that we are in, in that world there's a loophole that allow it is migrants in some cases to spend years on u.s. soil without legal status just waiting on a court date, so they are in the u.s. waiting on a court date which they may or may not go to and this could keep them on the mexican side of the border until the cases are resolved? >> that's right, one of the things that's interesting is right now the number of asylum cases that can be processed part of it depends on how many spots they have because people are at first in a detention center, now, while their claims are
1:08 pm
being adjudicated are let go and free around the country, at first they have to be in detention center and there's only so many spaces, only so many claims that can get started every day and now the administration says if these people -- if we have them stay in méxico while they are waiting, we could process perhaps twice as many cases, so i do think a lot of people, you know, asylum advocates are worried about the safety of these people but they should be happy that looks like they will be a lot more claims processed and that's certainly good news but people are actually looking for asylum, it's great that we can get claims processed and the people who truly need it would get through the system. >> supporters of migrants argue that it makes it tougher for those people because they are now on the mexican side of the border, possibly in detention centers in area that might be much more dpairnlings they were allowed in while processed? >> that needs to be next step and méxico needs to take a hard
1:09 pm
look at themselves and say why are areas so dangers we are worried that people who have risked their lives, we are worried about safety. one good thing that business leaders in tijuana and other border cities have actually welcomed these migrants to work while they are waiting and it's -- looks like there's 100,000 jobs that are going to be available around the border areas for these migrants. i think that's a great first step in that try to improve lives of these people who are looking for a better life but the government of méxico does need to take a look at itself and -- and say why can we not guaranty basic safety to people who have come here. >> kelly jane, i was down in southeast texas last month and you mentioned the numbers going up of people illegally crossing the border, 8 to 900 people being detained in the one district every day when i was there. 8 to 900 a day and there are some who suggest that if you don't let them in legally, those numbers will only go up as
1:10 pm
people try to find another way to get into the u.s. rather than applying for asylum. >> well, that's -- you have seen it firsthand, rick, you see what the people -- what -- you probably talked to them and find out what lives they were leaving, why they left and they risk their lives and -- >> half of them, half of them are claiming hardship, the other half according to border protection agents were criminalses, sneaking in. >> wow, that's -- that's why we do need -- if possible get people coming in legally through legal channels and getting them to come through those ports of entry and we have seen a lot of people talking about the caravan if they can't get in legally they will come in another way, the trump administration has a very different view and a judge in california just struck down the trump administration's position that you cannot make asylum claim if you didn't come in legally. it is a big thing. we are certainly seeing that
1:11 pm
policy affects those numbers. i mean, when you had the family separation policy as terrible as it was you did see some i think some of those numbers went down and now they've gone back up. policy does affect people and their motivations. >> weekly standard, this is obviously a significant development and we will keep our eyes on it. thank you. >> thanks, rick. arthel: fox news alert, major storm packing blizzard-like conditions to sit major parts of the country as millions of people head home for the holiday weekend. heavy snow and strong winds are expected to make things really difficult for those hitting the roads and taking to the skies, now earlier on american news headquarter accu weather meteorologist told us what to expect. >> chicago 3 to 6-inches downtown just north of west of downtown, 6 to 12-inches, north western indiana, south of chicago, we are talking about 1 to 3 and then substantial agents
1:12 pm
in quad cities, 6 to 10 perhaps even 12-inches of snow, like you said, coming at busy travel time especially the latter half of sunday into sunday night. arthel: all right, justin, thank you. let's check in with jackie, she's at laguardia airport and i understand you have some tips for travelers hope to go avoid a holiday headache, right, jackie? >> oh, yeah, arthel, you know the storm is ramping up when airlines are offering to change flights for free, that's what's happening in major cities across the midwest, delta, united or southwest out of chicago, des moines, milwaukee, a number of other surrounding cities check with airline, many airlines are offering honoring flight change requests with no fee no costs, if you're staying at hotel also might good time to check on availability if you expect cancellations, airlines are trying to mitigate inconvenience
1:13 pm
as we head into biggest travel day of the weekend, estimated 53.4 million people will be traveling 50 miles or more. the highest number since 2005 and that rate has been steadily climbing over the last 10 years, that means that if the storm passes powerful punch as it's expected to, a lot of people could be holiday stranded at laguardia 95% of flights are full, american airlines similar stats for the others and not even super bowl champions are immune to holiday travel snarl. >> i had no idea. check in the forecast which i always do when i fly, thankfully enough we are getting out today with 90% of chance of rain tomorrow. just felt like we needed to get out early, get the kids back in routine and get ready for school on monday. >> people are making their way to airport, tsa has added extra manpower but the roads are also expected to be issue, according to mobility, travel by car could
1:14 pm
take 4 times longer than normal trip with san francisco, new york city and boston as the worst expected delays, here in new york the port authority recommending that people take public transportation to the airport so roads don't get clogged and all airlines recommending that you arrive early. >> we were in traffic for like 20 minutes which you don't expect at 5:00 a.m. >> i already told everybody they need to get all the bad weather, snow, y'all can have 24 imps, when i get back on december 10th, nothing. >> no surprise the majority of the top 10 travel destinations are warm this time of year with 8 out of 10 in 50's or higher, all those folks enjoying the sunshine have got to go home tomorrow, so hope for them that they get stuck somewhere sunny. arthel: let's hope they get home. >> yeah. >> heavy rains may have helped
1:15 pm
put outraging flames in northern california but now it's complicating recovery efforts following the devastating world fire. charred landscape is now at risk for destructive and potentially deadly mud slides, jeff paul is live in paradise, california where at least 84 people perished and hundreds more are still are unaccounted for, jeff. >> well, rick, some good news here in paradise, california, the sun for the first time has come out in what seemed like days, the winds are starting to die down and hasn't rained for the past 2 hours, that's helping search and recovery crews get out here in higher numbers, utility trucks out here, getting to work, getting electric poles back up in the air, one of the other things we have seen out here for the first time are animal rescue crews, we are being told the sheriff's office had noticed some stray animals or animal that is were left behind. what these crews are doing are coming in and feeding animals, anything from chickens, dogs and
1:16 pm
cats and for folks who haven't been through a fire like this that's so devastating and that has move sod fast, some might wonder why on anyone would leave pets behind but the answer according to authorities might not be so obvious or simple. >> a lot of the dogs were taken, people grabbed their dogs but some people weren't home when the fire exploded and they couldn't go back, they couldn't go back because the fire department would not let them go into the fire. >> now, a lot of people want to get back to homes to assess the damages but in many case it's very dangerous, if you take a look out here, when the stuff burned down, you have metal, plastics and when they all felt together and burn can be bad to swift through if you ingest it. they are taking time on allowing folks back in. we are hearing in the last 20 minutes or so, some areas are letting people come back but in only coming back about a day,
1:17 pm
24-hour period, salvage items and get back down to safer area like chico, california. >> jeff paul in the hard-hit area, we appreciate your time and your reporting, thank you. arthel: gunman is still at large after police say officers shot and killed the wrong man during thanksgiving mall shooting, so what went so tragically wrong? plus president trump appears to dispute the reported conclusions made by the cia on the murder of jamal khashoggi while defending our country's strategic partnership with saudi arabia. so what should the u.s. policy toward the kingdom be as the administration walks a diplomatic tight rope? >> we have a very strong ally in saudi arabia, we have an ally that said they did not commit at the top level the crown prince, the king, they did not commit this atrocity and it's an

1:22 pm
birmingham late thursday evening, shots were fired in mall and man and 18-year-old were shot. the man killed may have been involved in the altercation somehow but they don't think he fired the initial rounds. arthel: president trump appear to go contradict the cia findings in the death of jamal khashoggi saying the agency only has, quote, feelings about what happened to the writer, the president continuing to standby the saudi crowns prince despite mounting pressure from congress to take tougher action. >> i hate the crime, i hate what's done, i hate the cover-up and i will tell you this, the crown prince hates it more than i do and they have denied it, the cia points it both ways, very important ally and if we go by a certain standard we won't be able to have allies with almost any country. arthel: joining us international security expert jim walsh, i
1:23 pm
want to start by the president just says he hates the crime, he hates the cover-up, what does that say to you? >> well, it says he's trying to inch closer towards saying, yes, it did happen, the first question was did it happen and reluctant to go there and he went there and said it happened, he doesn't want to be appearing to endorse the murder of a journalist who is a perm in any event resident of the united states of america but he cannot bring himself to what is for most people the obvious conclusion that this goes straight to the top and in saudi arabia things don't happen on their own. they happen because the crowns prince wants them to happen and when his own aides are sent there, conclude that he's implicated but he doesn't want to admit that and he's trying to straddle the middle. arthel: so, yeah, because straddling by just being ambiguous about blaming mohamed bin salman and the president,
1:24 pm
jim, says because saudi arabia is a key ally, is saudi arabia a key security ally to the u.s. and if so please explain to us how? >> for decades it has been important ally to the u.s., different presidents have sort of relied on saudi arabia in part because they are the most important oil producer in the region and for decades the u.s. depended on that oil. less so today but a little bit and also helpful in the counterterrorism and in other missions in the middle east, the middle east is always boiling and so the u.s. has turn today saudi arabia on occasion. my concern, though, are we -- if we are willing to excuse what is a murder ordered from the top, what message does that send to saudi arabia? that they can, quote, get away with murder, it might give them green light to be even more aggressive than they are now, they already initiated a war in yemen, kidnapped lebanese prime minister and forced him to resign on tv, are we giving them
1:25 pm
a blank check, that's what i'm concerned about, it's what republicans and democrats in congress are concerned about. the other thing, the other side of it is our relationship with our own intelligence community. no prosecute is obliged to accept whatever the intelligence community says, i think it's good that there would be healthy skepticism but you don't air that dirty laundry in public and you don't say that the intel community has feelings, the ceo does not do feelings, they do rigorous analysis, they attach a probabilities, likely -- you know, very likely somewhat likely that something is true and they attach a confidence level to it, how sure are we in our conclusion, they try to give policymakers the tools to do rigorous analysis so they can make their own best judgment so to sort of say, they were all over the place and they had feelings, that really undercuts the status and maybe even the morale of the good people who work in the intelligence community.
1:26 pm
arthel: would the cia have any motive or reason to politicize their discovery in this case? >> no. absolutely not. that's what analysts, different parts of intel community, the analysts really pride themselves, there's a deep, deep norm here of trying to call it the way they see it as opposed to, for example, the crown prince who has a strong, strong incentive to deny that he was involved. no incentive on the part of the cia, strong incentive on the part of mbs to deny culpability, so, you know, that's a problem. arthel: and then also you pointed out that what does this signal to saudi arabia, what does this signal to allies and foe alike on the global stage? >> yeah, i'm a little concerned about that, arthel, it's fine, if the president wants to -- comes to a different conclusion based on the evidence he reads, great, i have no problem with that whatsoever, when you put that out in the public and say, i disagree with my intelligence
1:27 pm
community, which has done several times now, now flash forward two years, assad in syria or some other tyrant uses chemical weapon and our intelligence community comes out and says, you guys did it and he stands up and says, we can't believe what you say, even your own president has doubts about what you're saying, i think it undermines our ability to make credible judgments in the future, you don't want to waste the credibility, you want to protect the reputation of the intelligence community that serves the national security of the united states of america. arthel: and, you know, finally, jim, what's the impact on the public psyche also national security when the president of the united states questions or inadvertently undermines national security agencies? >> i think it weakens -- it's just another, drip, drip, it weakens confidence in institutions, you know, america is a democracy, we survive because we have important institutions and democratic
1:28 pm
principles, democratic with small d and so we want to believe the president is doing the right thing. we want to believe that the fbi is fair, free and fair, we want to believe that the intelligence community calls them the way they see them and when we start to start to throw dust on that i think it undermines the institutions of a strong democracy. arthel: jim walsh, appreciate your analysis, thanks, jim. >> thanks, arthel. arthel: take care. >> evenings of climate change in newly released report, researchers warning of far-ranging impact it could have on anything from u.s. economy to human health. plus new developments in special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation as the associate of a trump confidant negotiates plea deal with mueller team, we are live in washington with new developments next. george woke up in pain.

1:33 pm
>> there is new movement in the mueller investigation conservative writer jarome cosi says he's in talks with special counsel about possible plea deal, associate of trump confidant roger stone was questioned over knowledge of wikileaks obtaining hacked emails of hillary clinton's campaign during 2016 election, former watergate prosecutor weighed in earlier on this on america's news headquarters. >> the next big question is, from the russians to corsi to stone, okay, but what about the next -- the other side of the football field. from stone to anyone in the
1:34 pm
campaign, and the only way they get there is if roger stone cooperates and tells the mueller what the mueller team believes is the truth. maybe the truth is there was no information passed on to the campaign. >> garrett tenney in dc bureau, garret. >> investigators have been trying to connect trump campaign to russia and looking into associates of wikileaks to do that. back in 2016corsi told friends that he believed wikileaks had emails of clinton campaign chairman and would release them as october surprise, once that happened prosecutors wanted to know if he had secret contact with wikileaks and passed to roger stone who then could have shared with trump campaign. of course, he has been cooperating with mueller's team and denies any kind of contacts with wikileaks or arrangement to coordinate released of hacked
1:35 pm
emails. cosi is discussing plea deal with special counsel after saying last week he would wack in perjury trap. >> i fully anticipate in the next few days i will be indicted by mueller for some form of other of giving false information to the special counsel, but i'm going to be criminally charged and it's been one of the most frightening experiences of my life. >> earlier this month sources close to the president's legal team told fox news that the probe is winding down and wikileaks issue is one of the final pieces, the future of the mueller probe is now in the hands of acting attorney general mat whitaker who previously criticized the investigation. this morning former independent counsel kim star said whitaker could complicate mueller's work if he wanted to. >> he can influence major decisions, major steps, that's not self-defining, that's a judgment call but he cannot under the regulations interfere
1:36 pm
with the independence of day-to-day -- >> if whitaker decide to step in he would provide congress with explanation. rick. >> we will keep an eye on this, garrett in washington, thank you. >> you got it. arthel: new report is laying out impact of climate change, findings come with dire warnings, global temperatures on the rise, researchers warn climate change could ultimately cost the u.s. hundreds of billions of dollars in global warming could result in untold damage to human health and quality of life. ellison barber has more now from washington. >> climate change is negatively impacting the united states now more than ever, that's according to latest national climate assessment, the report found that many extreme weather and climate-related events have already become more frequent, intense and widespread, the
1:37 pm
authors of this report say they expect many of those events to continue to increase or worsen. >> and the warning trend can be explained by human activities especially emissions of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. >> if there's not sustained mitigation in efforts the report warns climate change is expected to cause growing losses to america's infrastructure and property and impede the rate of economic growth over this century. this report is over 1600 pages, it looks at the impacts of climate change now and in the future. some aspects of our economy could see some improvement in a warmer world but long term officials say it's going to hurt the u.s. economy. according to report weather and climate disastrous have cost the u.s. nearly $400 billion since 2015. this sort of assessment is released every four years, it's mandated by congress and the global change research act of
1:38 pm
1990, 13 federal agencies are part of the group that worked on this report, the trump administration released it, though the report seems to contradict some of president trump's views on climate change. >> now the other big question is is it possible that climate change is a real issue here. >> we are looking at everything. it is land management and forest management, really is what you mean. but we will be looking at every factor and we will get to the bottom of it and i think we can do it fairly quickly. >> economies and industries that are set to be particularly at risk are things agriculture, tourism and fisheries, back to you guys. arthel: ellison barber, thank you so much. >> large percentage of young voters who stayed home past election day, so now both political parties are wondering how they can tap into this potential voting base ahead of 2020, we will take that up with our panel next and nancy pelosi appears to be inching to be house speaker once again but nothing is guarantied even after

♪ ♪ >> new data shows 37% of people ages 18 to 29 year's old did not participate in midterms, 39% of them would have voted democrat, 28% would have voted republican and one-third were unsure. so how can each party try to entice the untapped potential voters ahead of 2020? let's bring in panel, beverly, president of district media group and host of the filler words podcast and dave brown, democratic strategists and former senior adviser to senator murray, welcome to you both. >> thank you. >> this does not sound like breaking news to me, aren't young voters underrepresented at
1:44 pm
the polls? >> they are wanting to protest, talk about favorite causes via social media but when it comes to turning hashtags to i voted stickers we don't need -- see them. good news for conservatives, only as they enter the real world, get a job, try to start a business, conservative policies are better for them. so what republicans need to do is not just talk about the facts but talk about how that directly impacts young people as they are starting their careers. >> dave, i thought that there was a push to get these young people to the -- to the polls this time around and maybe it didn't work? >> well, there was a push and you saw very important and effective results in battleground states like texas and nevada both of which saw five fold increase in voters 18 to 29 who voted early and beverly is correct that
1:45 pm
millennial voters typically do favor democrats, in fact, the number is around 62% of those millennial voters who voted in midterms voted for democrats, so, you know, i think what is strike to go me about this, rick, while there's still work to be done in terms of mobilizing younger voters to the polls, you know, when they were inspired by candidates like beto o'rourke in texas and when they were mobilized by issues that really matter to them and some of the issues are pocketbook issues, i think beverly was unfair when getting a real job, they are waiting for members of congress to focus on kitchen-table issues that matter to him. but when issues are on the table, we saw young voters come out in droves and that was a good thing. >> i thought we had those issues this time around, beverly, wasn't there plenty of reason for everyone to go out and vote? >> this is also midterms, you don't have the same energy in midterms as they do start create or not school full-time and get into a career and especially starting businesses, we have
1:46 pm
seen millennials starting businesses at greater rate than previous generations, this is where republicans really need to tap into that and part of that is communication. even beto o'rourke one of the things he does really well is he's a good communicator, barack obama who mobilized millennials, good communicator and this is something republicans have struggled with, they focus on policies and facts and not connecting to people at hand and so i always encourage republicans to say it's not just about the policies, you need to talk about the people its impacting, part of that is celebrating tax cuts, part of that is going to be making permanent to help millennials. >> dave, i would think all they have to is text them, right, reach out to them on their phone, they'll show up? >> rick, you're right that there are -- there are a lot of really novel ways of communicating now in campaigns and texts is one, using social media forms, snapchat, facebook, et cetera, all of the tools are in play to mobilize millennials and beverly
1:47 pm
makes good point in terms of how we are telling our story and how we are appealing to voters by really invoking narrative that resinates with them. i want to make one other observation, rick, i think we would be doing ourselves a service as country if we make it easier to vote and what i mean by that is having an actual national holiday for election day, if you think about a lot of the folks who didn't vote many of them make less than 50k a year, many of them are not college educated, it's not always easy to take time off from your job to go stand in line for 4 hours and so i think we need to have a national conversation about how we can make it easier for people who are legally entitled to vote to vote. >> i agree. >> sounds like a great idea. meanwhile nancy pelosi inching closer to returning as speaker, what -- what is still needed for her to regain the role, beverly? >> i think she will regain the role, if we know one thing she knows thousand whip people into shape, she will be the speaker of the house, this is not only

good for democrats when it comes to fundraising, this is actually very good for republicans. she's one of the individuals on the left that raises a lot of money for the right, there's a reason why donald trump was tweeting out and saying that he likes her and she's earned it, he knows and republicans know that when it comes to the average person republicans across the this country they are not too fond of her, i think it works really well for republicans and i'm hoping she does become the speaker of the house. >> i'm told that the speaker vote is wednesday and there were suggestions early on, dave, that she would be replaced, so -- not replaced but that he would not be speaker, how did she turn this around with the democratic party? >> well, look, masters at whipping and incredibly effective leader for the democratic caucus for a number of years now and i think it's pretty significant and even having president obama, former president obama come out with such strong support over the
1:49 pm
past week, look, bottom line, i think there's a healthy debate happening with the democratic caucus, i think it's important that younger members have a seat at the table, 26 of the house members coming into this new congress in january are going to be younger -- younger millennial members and so that is, you know, that's an important conversation that's happening and i think that what you are seeing, sort of a natural internal negotiation among the different groups that compromised a big ten party the democratic party. she will be speaker -- sorry, rick. >> no problem, the president said that he supported her and i wond if that was a ploy -- i wonder if that was a ploy, while he did want her to be speaker again maybe he said it thinking that people would think he didn't really want it so they would make her speaker, beher vi, am i reading too much into this? >> no not at all. i think that's exactly what it is. he's trying to use it to his advantage. i would point to if nancy pelosi is speaker to have house, when
1:50 pm
you look at the two democrats that would be underneath her in leadership, you're looking at an average age of almost 08 year's old leading the democrats in the house, when we talk about millennials and what can reach out to them, i'm not sure that this is the answer to democrats, you actually have younger people running the republican side so i think republicans have a huge opportunity to say we understand young people and we stand up for policy. >> we will see what happens, beverly, dave brown, we will leave it there, thank you very much for being was. >> thank you. >> thank you. arthel: tear gas and water cannons as police disperse demonstrators, protesting hike in fuel taxes in after math of violent clashes going out for a bite! going anytime. rewarded! learn more at the explorer card dot com. moderate-to-severe eczema,

arthel: new reaction from french president emmanuel macron as he condemns the violence in the streets of paris today. police clashing with demonstrators protesting over rising fuel taxes. at least 20 people were hurt in protests and dozens more arrested, ryan is following the story from london bureau, ryan. >> arthel, two people have been killed and hundreds injured since protests began a week ago, today tens of thousands of protestors took to the streets
1:55 pm
again, not just in paris but right across the country. why are they angry? well, in france a gallon of diesel cost about $6 and 30 cents, of course, they don't sell by the gallon and they don't sell in dollars, they sell in euros but i have done conversion for you, this year taxes on diesel fuel went up about 30 cents equivalent of a gallon, if the french president gets his way emmanuel macron, then they would go up by another 25 cents on january the first, most people in france, 4 out of 5 say that shouldn't happen, a lot of people think of this as tax on the poor, a way to get poor people to pay for climate change, the french president says that the whole idea of this tax increase is to discourage people from buying cars that then create problems for the climate. not everybody thinks that that's
1:56 pm
fair, though, for people particularly outside of the capital which they tend to drive more and are less affluent. macron going into this was battling perception that he's out of touch with working-class people, this obviously isn't helping, once they yield notice the protestors are wearing yellow vests, high-visual vests that the french are legally required to keep in their cars, they have become something of symbol for the protests. one saving grace in all of this you'll notice at the pump the price of oil is coming down, price in paris, france, are coming down but still the highest they've been in decade. arthel: ryan, thank you, we will be right back. >> and the trump administration reaching a deal that we will tell you all about coming up

arthel: fox news alert, president trump reportedly striking a deal with méxico and its president elect paving the way for big changes in the way migrants attempt to enter the u.s. hello, everyone i'm arthel neville. >> i'm rick levanthol in for eric sean. the trump administration has won support of méxico's incoming government for the president's plan requiring asylum seek toaster wait in méxico while their cases are processed. the president said this on thursday. >> we have the military at the boar they are for the first time, i don't know if it's ever or certainly there's never been a presence like this but we have
2:01 pm
a powerful border now, we are fighting for borders, we are fighting for our country, if we don't have borders, woe don't have a country so we are doing very well in the southern border, we are very tough. >> bryan llenas in west palm beach, florida, any word from the white house confirming this post report? >> good evening, rick, well, look the washington post says first of all about this agreement that there are no details that have been confirmed in terms of it being finalized and that ultimately that it has not been signed but the white house, while we reached out to them they have neither confirmed nor denied the existence of this agreement. according to statement given to fox news, quote, president trump has developed a strong relationship with the incoming obrador administration and we look forward to working with them on a wide-range of issues, now according to washington post méxico's newly president andres obrador and president trump have agreed on a plan remain in méxico, president obrador takes
2:02 pm
office december 1st and under this agreement immigrants traveling through méxico seek ago sigh lum in the united states will have to remain in méxico until their asylum applications are processed. it can take anywhere from 2 to 5 years from many of these cases to go through our court system, the number of asylum applications has more than tripled over the last 5 years to 141,000 in 2017. there's a backlog of 318,000 asylum applications right now, now this new agreement would be game-changer. currently immigrants applying for asylum are released in policy called catch and release, released until their court cases is called up and adjudicated in some way and critics like the president says immigrants get lost in catch and release system and this is all happening by the way as 5,000 migrants in migrant caravan have camped out in tijuana, méxico, the mayor there has called -- called it
2:03 pm
humanitarian crisis and all of these folks are hoping to apply for asylum, meanwhile dhs says that part of this caravan that there are hundreds of gang members and some folks who are violent and so 5900 u.s. troops have been sent to the border, they were deployed and they are unarmed and have so far mainly put up wire and barriers along the border. they are there to reinforce border patrol in case there is some kind of a rush to the border and already, rick, we can expect some legal backlash here, legal fight with this agreement if it were to go through, human rights activists are pointing out that they believe this type of policy would undermine immigrants asylum rights and their opportunities to apply for asylum and also put them in danger, you're talking months to 2 to 5 years potentially of refugees staying along the border in northern towns of méxico and cities that are controlled by cartels. rick.
2:04 pm
>> big victory for the trump administration. bryan llenas, thank you. arthel: with just 3 weeks of work left before they lose the majority, the republican-controlled house judiciary committee is following through on plan to subpoena former subpoena for fbi director james comey and loretta lynch. bob goodlatte and while he's demanding intel chief testify. >> democrats should be concerned just about mr. comey's actions in 2016 including his decision to reopen the hillary clinton investigation and tell the whole world a week before the election, so there's a lot for mr. comey to answer for and everybody should be interested in a complete interview of him and not simply a show hearing where we don't get to the bottom of the matters. arthel: let's bring in john, fox
2:05 pm
news radio white house correspondent, attorney, john, apart from being short on time, ho house republicans have a strong legal strategy and who would face legal jeopardy in this case? >> well, this is going to be a difficult thing for house republicans to get their way on, arthel, and the reason i say that is because this is a lame-duck session, very little gets done in lame-duck session and if, indeed, james comey does not comply with the subpoena, if he challenges this subpoena, it's going to take some time for the court system to actually hear this case out and keep in mind democrats retake control of the house in january and the court system does not always follow the political calendar and for that reason, i don't think that bob goodlatte, the chairman of the house judiciary committee may get his way on this particular issue. arthel: john, i don't know if you know the answer on but statute of limitation that is could prevent any potential or possibly legal charges or
2:06 pm
indictments? >> well, keep in mind, if you're referring to hillary clinton, no there's not but it seems as if democrats don't want to go down that route. once they take control of the house of representatives, incoming chairman of the house judiciary committee does not want to pursue the same thing that republicans are pursuing right now, so it seems like a essentially, arthel, hillary would be in the clear once democrats retake control of the house. as it relates to the possibility of a contempt charge against james comey, if he does not comply with the subpoena, that's a process as well, would happen there, is that goodlatte would call for vote in house judiciary committee assuming all republicans vote yes, it would go to full house and then assuming all republicans vote yes there, then it would just simply be a recommendation to the u.s. attorney's office here in the district of colombia for the u.s. attorney jesse to make
2:07 pm
that determination as to whether or not to hold james comey in contempt in congress. arthel: john, talk about for us the political gains and consequences for members to have house judiciary committee and the gop as a whole? >> well, as it relates to what republicans want to do, they want to bring this issue forward, they want to gain more information with that and keep in mind that james comey has said that he's more than willing to meet with the house judiciary committee, his only objection is the fact that house republicans on the judiciary committee only want to conduct this interview with mr. comey behind closed doors, comey says he will more than happy to meet with them only he would like to do so in open session and unless there's a compromise we are going to route of contemptive congress or the political, judicial route in which mr. comey challenges it in the federal court system.
2:08 pm
arthel: john, ultimately is this to please the president in some way? >> oh, absolutely. you know, you hear the president, he rails against james comey, it seems almost on a weekly basis. he's urged the judiciary committee to continue their investigation of james comey and his part in overseeing the investigation into hillary clinton and her e-mails, so there's simply, i think, mr. goodlatte is following through the wishes of the president and let's not forget loretta lynch, the former attorney general of the united states. arthel: john, finally, if the democrats don't pursue this if they gain control of the house, would there be any political backlash for them? >> among democrats, no. it may motivate, it may energize republicans, that's an important thing as we saw in the midterm elections, i think that republicans were certainly motivated in those key states that republicans gained in the
2:09 pm
senate, democrats also were motivated and that's the reason why, of course, they regainened control of the house of representatives. that's what we are talking about, we are talking about 2020, which side will be more motivated in going to the polls and this is just one of the other areas, arthel in which democrats and republicans will certainly focus on this issue and paying your out whether or not this was an important issue for them? arthel: i'm going to squeeze one more in it. >> sure. okay. arthel: you mentioned 2020. >> yeah. arthel: if both sides go in at this point with only 2020 in mind, i mean, will anything get done in the process because it would all be about -- only be about politics and not the people? >> yeah, it's a divided congress coming january, arthel, and there are those who believe that not much will get done over the course of the next 2 years, there's some room for compromise on issues, for instance, like infrastructure spending that both president trump and nancy pelosi have spoken much about over the course of the past few
2:10 pm
years. aside from that, i don't see much room for compromise, i see a lot of jockeying among both parties as they prepare for the 2020 presidential election. arthel: yeah, but the new comers on the democratic side i was reading that they want to make some things happen and they don't want this gridlock that's been there in the past. they are there for that reason. okay, john decker, attorney general and fox news radio white house correspondent, thank you. >> thanks a lot, arthel, have a good day. arthel: you too. >> if you still have to travel home the thanksgiving weekend we have bad news. your plans could get a lot more complicated, major storm is making its way across the country. we have live look at the snowy rocky mountains outside of denver, numerous crashes have shut down interstate 70 there which looks like an absolute mess. joining us now accu weather meteorologist paul williams, paul, what's going on? >> well, what's going on is snow
2:11 pm
, we are not looking at just widespread, sustained ability to not be able to see for extended 3 to perhaps 4 hour period in addition to that wife winter storm warning up to milwaukee area, looks very innocent, i don't want that radar to fool you, this looks like innocent rain, just little bit of snow, all of this will turn ugly, it's like feeding after midnight. all transition immediately to serious snow. for saturday night going into sunday, milwaukee down to kansas city, we are talking about dangerous travel, we are talking about blizzard conditions and power outages because the winds will be howling like crazy and snow that's accumulating and it's going to be causing problems with visibility. here is a look at future forecast, look at all of the changing, the green changes to blue according to forecast
2:12 pm
models, please, be careful out there as the old hills blues reference would go. >> paul, the time asking just terrible on this storm and i'm wonder if you know is the winter -- is this what we have to look forward to for a while? >> to be quite honest, yes, because what's happened is we have change from air masses and air masses don't get along with one another. it's like the hatfields and the mccoys, we are in november, look at the numbers we are talking about. 6-inches to 12-inches of snow, that's just midwest. in northeast we are big hit with ton of ice and you have to be careful there, sorry. >> the news is terrible but you're fantastic, paul, we're glad that you're with us. arthel: i always love to sea paul williams give the forecast. >> a show -- arthel: get hot chocolate and paul, tell us about the weather. >> weather does not look good --
2:13 pm
arthel: he's good. >> the weather is terrible and all of the people have to travel, we don't have to travel. arthel: we are good. >> like this. arthel: speaking of travel we will see how things are looking in bus -- busiest airports, laguardia airport. >> i can't make it sound as good as he is. the blunt news of winter weather and holiday travel don't go well together but this might be the worst in recent memory with more travelers hitting the road this year than any year since 20 oh 05, airlines are bracing for delays and allowing passengers to change tickets with no fee in a number of mid western cities that will bear the brunt of that storm, delta, american, united or southwest out of chicago, cedar rapids, des moines, milwaukee or several more cities check with airline for free flight change and while you're at it, you might want to check with hotels to see if you can extend your stay, estimated
2:14 pm
54.3 million people will be traveling 50 miles or more this holiday weekend. according to aaa, highest number in more than 10 years that means if the storm packs powerful punch as projected to, a lot of people could be holiday stranded. at laguardia 90% of flights are full and american airlines, similar stats for other airlines. not even super bowl champions are immune. >> we are getting out today with 90% chance tomorrow. this is one of the busiest travel days or weekends of the year, felt like we needed to get out early, get the kids kind of back in routine and get ready for school on monday. >> bad news doesn't just impact those who fly, though, roads are expected to be backed up as well. according to mobility analysts travel by car could take four times longer than normal trip with longest delay expected in boston, san francisco and new york city.
2:15 pm
here in new york authorities that people take public transportation so roads don't get clogged. while tomorrow is supposed to be the busiest travel day of holiday weekend the storms could push that into monday, airlines are recommending if you can get out early, you should try, arthel. arthel: yeah, hey, jackie, we enjoyed your report too. >> yeah. arthel: definitely. >> i did. arthel: take care. >> hunt is on for man responsible for deadly shooting at a mall on thanksgiving night after police say they got the wrong person. plus a man linked to trump campaign operative roger stone reaches a possible plea deal with robert mueller. it's time to sell or trade in your car.

2:20 pm
>> robert mueller's russia investigation has taken another turn, writer jarome corsi, associate of roger stone says he's working on plea deal, of course, questioned over knowledge of wikileaks getting ahold of hacked emails, here is former deputy assistant attorney general bob. >> i've been saying this all along unless we see more than we have seen publicly and always the chance out there that we don't know about, none of this seems connected trump-russia collusion. >> is it or not? garrett, got the answers? >> we have a few answers for you, rick. back in 2016 jar ohms corsi told wikileaks had emails of john podesta and would release them as october surprise and that's exactly what happened. investigators want to know if corsi had secret contact that gave him heads up about the
2:21 pm
emails and acted as middleman to pass to his friend roger stone who then could have shared it with trump campaign. corsi has cooperate and repeatedly denied accusations but now he's discussing a plea deal after saying last week he believes he walked into a perjury trap and expects to be indicted. >> it's been one of the most frightening experiences of my life. it's like, you know, at the end of 2 months my mind was mush going over the same ground over and over again. >> roger stone has been a central figure in mueller's probe of the wikileaks emails because of comments he made during the campaign suggesting that he was in contact with jillian assange something he now denies, mueller has interviewed several of stone associates and stone expects to be indicted at some point as well. in radio interview friday, stone denied having any connection to wikileaks or russia.
2:22 pm
>> this idea that jerry corsi could implicate me, there's simply no evidence whatsoever that would show that i knew about the source or the content of any allegedly stolen emails or any allegedly hacked emails that were published by wikileaks. just not so. >> earlier this month sources close to the president's legal team told fox news that the special counsel's probe is winding down and that this wikileaks issue is one of the final pieces to have investigation, rick. >> rick: garrett tenney in washington. arthel: more on this michael moore joins us now, former u.s. attorney, thank you for joining us. >> glad to be with you. arthel: thank you, what specific information does roger stone have that robert mueller wants and who could be in legal jeopardy as a result? >> well, i don't know that we know what specific information he has but my guess is is that we are seeing bob mueller begin
2:23 pm
to build the foundation and -- let me use metaphor for you, you can't put the roof on the house until you build the foundation and you do that out of blocks and that's what he has done here. he's worked his way through some people in the administration, in the campaign, he's got some plea negotiations, he'll gotten sentences here and i think what you're seeing is that this is a move toward finding out if in fact, there was some inside information about the emails and the hacking that went on prior to the -- prior to the election, so that's what we are seeing, i think, with corsi, he may then lead to something with stone and on up the line. stone was plugged in the campaign in high level and i'm guessing that bob mueller, he's done great about not leaking and having his investigation leak out, but my guess is if you look at it, he's a prosecutor, strategists and he's simply putting his case and finishing the foundation, showing that there may have been some connection or finding out through the investigation if
2:24 pm
there was some connection. arthel: as you know, the southern district of new york is putting a bulls eye on president trump's 2016 campaign as as well as past business practice to where is that legal road leading? >> you know, i think that the assignment by bob mueller, sending cases and parts of the investigation to u.s. attorneys offices outside of special counsel's office was brilliant move and says that he's respectful of his mandate, he knows how far he can go and he takes away the criticism that he's exceeding his authority by sending these things that are sort of only connected to trump and the campaign to other independent prosecutors and u.s. attorneys offices outside of his office, so my guess is they'll continue to move forward with that investigation in the southern district of new york, you may see other things sent off to other offices but again i want you to also remember that bob mueller is a pro and he's a strategists and he's a tactician.
2:25 pm
he's a prosecutor's prosecutor and he was not working in a vacuum prior to midterms either in the fear perhaps that, knowledge, i guess, i don't think he's afraid of anything, but the knowledge that you may see people in the department, new attorney general let's say who tries to shut down the investigation, by sending these things out to offices, a brilliant move to keep the investigation and part of the investigation moving forward. arthel: that's exactly what happened. president trump fired attorney general jeff sessions and now you have acting director matthew whitaker, acting ag. in fact, ken is speaking out on the very move, let's listen in and talk about it. >> okay. >> under the regulations, david, he can influence major decisions, major steps, that's not self-defining, that's a judgment call. but he cannot under the regulations interfere with the independents of the day-to-day operations. arthel: so, michael, mr. whitaker is under the legal
2:26 pm
microscope, does anything stand out to you, you're a former u.s. attorney and mr. whitaker having been given the job by president trump or any legal conflicts of interest at play? >> you know, i'm concerned about some things that he said early on and maybe during the time that he was a tv pundit and he made comments sort of prejudging the investigation without having the evidence in front of him, those things could come back and haunt him down the road and there's some concerns about that. at one point too he was involved as lawyer in an investigation that had some connection and that's -- those things are somewhat concerning. you know, trump has made no secret about his -- his desire to see the investigation go away and disappointment with jeff sessions not doing that and now he has somebody in office who is behold to go him and acting attorney general of the united states who can control things like budget requests, i agree that you probably won't see him in there in the midnight file
2:27 pm
room shredding documents, what you might see is he could do something with the department budget where he asked that there is is lesser amount allocated and he has made that comment and possibility in one of the discussions in news show. so those things stand out to me, it's interesting to me how out of all of the lawyers and the people that you could pick that have been senate confirmed that have been career folks with the department for some period of time or who have been there for a period of time under a confirmation, under senate confirmation that he goes with the guy who has basically said there's nothing to the investigation without having knowledge of that, so those things set off alarms, they make our antennas go up to see whether or not he'll handle this with the professionalism and avoid any appearance of

rain this week. jeff paul's in the town of paradise with more. reporter: with weather conditions here improving, some residents were evacuated and starting to wonder when and if they will be able to return home to assess damages. the frustrating thing is if you look across the street over here, you can see the business right here seemingly untouched by the fire. not a single out of place. as you look around a little more some of the dangers are not as apparent as a superhero downed power line. that's why we are seeing a lot of utility trucks out about trying to get the community back to a little bit of normal food when the folks start to return home. the utility trucks and the cruiser starting to get some of the down power lines out of the way, get some new power lines up and ready. and clearing some of the trees that might have felt. we caught up with one of the crew states asked him about how they feel about their progress. >> things kind of start slow.
2:34 pm
the logistics are crazy. and a big event like this. we get into and things really start to progress. real quickly.once everything comes together. reporter: some other news coming as it relates to a lot of the search and rescue crews is that the number of dead has not changed within the last couple of days. it is still standing at 84. still hundreds considered unaccounted for but the number is also going down the last couple of days as well. arthel: you mentioned residents going back home. will they be allowed back into their neighborhoods? reporter: for every area it will be a little different. within the last few hours or so we heard from authorities that they are allowing some people to return home but that is only for 24 hour period. they are worried when residents come back they will sift through the wreckage and as you
2:35 pm
see from this home that burned to the ground is pretty nasty stuff. a combination of plastics in the home, the metals, maybe batteries. just everything that has burned to the ground. they do not want people to come in here and then get hurt. so it's going to take some time and it will do it as methodically as they can because this community has a ready been knocked down pretty hard and they don't need any more problems moving forward. arthel: jeff paul, thank you for the update. >> in a federal report issuing a dire warning about climate change. saying it is intensifying. and poses a great threat and drastic action if it is not taken. part of the report saying that climate change brings new risks and exacerbates vulnerabilities. presenting growing challenges to human health and safety. quality of life, and the rate of economic growth. ellison barber has more. reporter: climate change is negatively impacting the united states now more than ever. that is according to the latest national climate assessment. the report found many extreme

2:45 pm
editor for the wall street journal and fox news contributor joining us. john, thank you for being with us. >> good afternoon it is great to be here. >> the market crumbled last couple of weeks. a lot of discussion about china and tariffs. it might have played a role in wondering whether the president mabel to turn this around if it's true. >> innocently big issue for investors right now. you mentioned this g 20 summit of world leaders coming up in argentina. the president is supposed to meet with president xi jinping and they will be discussing the trade issues we have imposed tariffs on more than 250 billion dollars worth of imports from china, it does not look like we are anywhere near taken is off so the expectation that right now is we probably have a standoff coming out of the summit. >> and marcus could rise
2:46 pm
depending on how things go next week.>> certainly, i think if there is a breakthrough, if there is any sign that we are reaching some kind of agreement with the chinese i think the markets will really rally on that. we've seen that time and again when it came to agreements with canada and mexico and rewriting north american free-trade agreement. that was a big sign of relief for investors. if we get that with china then we could have a relief. i just unexpected because, they are such deep divisions on a wide range of issues. >> china is a big issue and we have an example of how the china tariffs are impacting the country and soybean farmers. if you take a look at the graphic, soybean sales to china have dropped 94 percent over the past year. total exports to china down 16.1 million tons from last year.
2:47 pm
those are pretty big numbers. >> it is absolutely right. we've seen really big swings in the soybean market over the last year. and a surge of experts actually early in the year when farmers were trying to get their sales out before the tariffs kicked and now there's been a big drop off. one of the interesting things going on here is that chinese are running out of things to impose tariffs on. because we import so much more from china, it looks like we are in a position to keep more tariffs on their goods and they are running out of things to do. but what it means is that it affects u.s. consumers because the trump administration is warning playing tariffs on consumer goods, iphones, shoes, clothing, but the more that we ramp up the tariffs, the more it starts to hit household pocketbooks and affect consumer goods, items that we buy at walmart every day. >> the president has proven his
2:48 pm
skills as a dealmaker. i think we'll wait to see if you can cut a deal at the g 20. >> we tried to do is not just reset relations with china but the way the chinese economy works. one of the big demands from them for example is that they subsidize a lot of their enterprises they put a lot of money and state owned bank loans into their companies. we are saying, if -- you have to stop. and the president does not want to do that. >> the price of oil has been dropping. i know that it used to be a good thing but here you are saying, is not so much the case anymore. >> no, it is not. the u.s. is a net importer of oil for many years. basically when we were buying gas and paying a texas saudi arabia and iran, when oil prices fell and gas prices felt was like a tax cut for
2:49 pm
households. no real worlds largest oil producer in within a few years of being a net exporter ourselves now they are offsetting. and we see prices at the pump go down, it means we are pouring less money out of our wallets to cover that part of the expenses. if you're watching the plays like texas right now watching a place like north dakota when oil prices fall it hurts investments in the area. when the present was a few days ago, you are encouraging this drop in oil prices, it doesn't play well in a place like texas. so much of the economy is really -- >> jon hilsenrath, sorry to cut you off but we have to go. thank you. >> protesters in paris setting

>> two people have been killed, hundreds injured in the protests since they began a week ago. again today, tens of thousands hit the streets to protest. not just in paris but right around the country. why are they angry? as you said, emmanuel macron is planning to raise the tax on fuel starting next year. if you convert leaders and euros, the cost of a gallon of diesel in france is about $6.30. most of that is tax. the tax went up by $0.30 a gallon this year. and if emmanuel macron gets his weight will go up another $0.25 per gallon starting january 1. emmanuel macron says the text the need to discourage people from buying cars that contribute to climate change. recent polls suggest 4/5 do not agree with him.
