our spirit. then we got back on the horse and then they started buying on a regular basis. spending all this money for a tree get one chopped down the way jesus really wanted it. steve: i don't remember that. brian: no more swimming pool. ainsley: i thought you had a swimming pool now you don't. brian: in my new life. steve: i need to i do gram all of that to figure it out: thank you for joining us today. last night they did light the christmas tree as you saw in washington in rockefeller center as well. a whole bunch of spirit. we have a whole bunch of news to talk about. ainsley: we do. an ms-13 gang member caught traveling with the migrant caravan. border patrol agents assigned to the el centro sector say they arrested him on saturday night around 6:00. steve: yeah. the fellow's name 29-year-old jose velobez space jobel he has been arrested. he confirmed to the border

patrol yep not only did i travel here to the area around calexico where he was apprehended but i traveled with the caravan. i was in a gang, ms-13. and i'm entering the united states i will really. and so now they are going to hold him until he is reoperated and processed and send him back to honduras. brian: we did hear there are 600 law breakers or criminals within this caravan. we do know the numbers are pretty high now. over 6,000 there. there is 3687 are men. now we know one is at least ms-13. that usually means ecuador. we also know the president of the united states has called this -- i was watching last night, one of the reporters was standing in the middle of the caravan and they are saying a lot of them -- some of them have decided to go home. some of them are frustrated and others decided to just walk down until the wall runs out and there is a place where the wall is ended and they decide to go in illegally.

wow, doesn't that back up somebody's theory? steve: we do know he is from honduras and he traveled with a caravan. we don't know exactly of which the caravans that pertains to. but, to your point a moment ago, brian, we have heard from the department of homeland security there are a bunch of people who are traveling in the caravan toward the united states who probably shouldn't come in. ainsley: they arrested them close to the port of entry in calexico and took them to the station for investigation. ran something called a biometric background check and records revealed in 2006 he had been deported taken from las vegas and sent back to honduras via escort flight that takes them home. steve: right. brian: my sense is it isn't just one ms-13 individual. logic would tell you that gangs usually travel with gangs. ainsley: so far saying they only found one. steve: there have been stories there have been paid informants traveling with the caravan who are giving the united states and mexico both information.

so you, keep you posted on that. in the meantime talk a little bit about this. it's also a fox news alert. steve: the health situation is dire as the migrants continue to overwhelm our southern border, particularly at then campment in tijuana. brian: now we have numbers. officials warning of serious health risks migrants are actually carrying through the caravan. they are going to be bringing it through the u.s. should they get in. ainsley: griff jenkins is live in tijuana, mexico. there was a sign on the tent and said looked like it was prohibited spitting. are you seeing a lot of that and coughing and things like that. griff: yeah. good morning. there are signs all over the place say no spitting. rampant coughing and spitting everywhere in this overcrowded situation. the space here in tijuana is for 1,000 people. they have got more than 6,000 crammed in there coughing and spitting everywhere. health officials very

concerned. they tell me that more than 60% of the people here are suffering from his pier tore infections and known of known cases of tuberculosis and h.i.v. aids chicken pox, lies is widespread. not the only thing going on. they have been here for a while. when we talked to one of the migrants here michael from honduras. seeking asylum. he believes he is a credible threat from gangs threatening his daughter. he says look, when you look at all of this. first of all, in the first place in the beginning we were lied to by the organizers but now we are reaching a dangerous breaking points. listen. >> they lied to us from the beginning. so, most of these people are disappointed the, you know, getting frustrated. i think every day that passes more and more people are coming. going to be a point break. they are going to say let's just rush in there, you know? >> it's that sort of sentiment, perhaps, that has president trump, there are reports president trump is

thinking about extending into january his troop deployment currently 500 active duty troops supporting cdp along the border as well as 2400 national guardsmen. steve: i know it is dry there right now. they have been talking all week the migrants have been asking for tarps from the government, either the federal government or the city of tijuana. and they say we don't have any money for that today it is supposed to really start to rain, isn't it? griff: it is already, steve, been pouring overnight there is a break in the rain now, but it is soaked here. if you can kind of look behind me and see the tents. they have already got water all over them. these are tents that were handed out by tijuana's municipal government. that's been the mayor's complaint all along that they gave them everything they could. but this operation has cost them $30,000 a day. they have given out all the tents they have got to give and this rain is making it wet and cold with an already very sick population. it's definitely compounding

the problem. steve: griff jenkins live in tijuana. thank you very much. brian: 7 minutes after the top of the hour. in case you have not noticed, there is some trouble in the house as they try to find a new leader when they actually get control of the house of representatives. it looks as though nancy pelosi by far is the frontrunner. there are 32 democrats voting against nancy pelosi. she can only afford it lose 17. she has made some progress when it comes to talking to some of the people and some of the opposition that is against her. but not enough yet. ainsley: what happened is she was nominated by the democratic caucus. you can see the numbers there the final vote by the full hours is going to be in january. there were 32 caucus members that opposed her and three turned in blank ballots. that means she has to get 15 of those 32 who are opposed to her to come on board with her because she i can only afford to lose 17. steve: she is the official leader of the democratic

caucus. first speaker of the house will be in january. she lost 32 democrats. that's better than last time. two years ago when she was running against tim ryan. 63 people on the democratic caucus voted for tim ryan. big question is, can she get over the line without republican help? she was asked about the dissenters in her own caucus yesterday. and this is what she had to say. >> let me tell you something, i'm talking about scores of members of congress who just gave me a vote, are giving me a vote of confidence. that is where our focus is are there dissenters? yes. i expect to have a powerful vote as we go forward. brian: steve, you brought up a good point. she was running against somebody, a person: she went to the problem solvers a bipartisan committee. they seem to be moderate centrists. 8 she convinced to vote with her. one of which is not kathleen

rice of new york. she called the talks with nancy pelosi not terribly productive. said the vote demonstrated that nancy pelosi does not have the absolute majority necessary. the question is what will it take to put her over the finish line. ainsley: no one else has put their hat in the ring there was one person that was kind of considering it and then nancy pelosi gave her a powerful job and she said okay, never mind. i'm pulling out. steve: funny how that works. a lot of democrats who ran this past cycle and they all, every member of congress, republican and democrats in the house of representatives were up for re-election first week in november. there were a lot that if elected, i will not vote for her. they are in a pickle. what are they going to do? ainsley: some of those who didn't vote for her in the caucus, do you think they are doing that because they want a powerful position and nancy might say if you vote for me. all she has to say that to 15 of those people who didn't vote for her.

steve: a lot of people were returned to congress by saying i'm not going to vote for her. if they vote for her, what are people going to do in two years when those people are up for re-election again? brian: american barometer poll, democrats wanted somebody else to lead the house. that's not nice. steve: we will see. meantime 6:11 in new york city and here's jillian. jillian: yes. follow a number of stories, starting with this. we now know the names of the three u.s. spops special ops troops. andrew ross, eric amond and dillon died after their vehicle hit a roadside bombs. 12 american heros have died in afghanistan this year. stormy daniels is calling out her attorney michael avenatti. she claims he filed a defamation lawsuit against president trump without her permission.

steve: the migrant caravan we have been talking about dominating headlines in the mainstream media. just how accurate are some of the claims. here to break down from the fact from the fiction republican strategist and accuracy in media gus poor tele. >> good morning, thank for having me.

steve: we are going to play a couple of sound bites. here's the first one. >> all of this for a group of people, a lot of whom are mothers and children, who pose no eminent threat to the united states. >> many of these individuals are women and children. steve: so the big question is how much of the caravan women and children? gus? >> the very small amount, actually. it's really funny that msnbc is showing that the majority of the caravan are or saying that the majority of the caravan are women and children when, in fact, the caravan is overwhelmingly male, seeking jobs. according to dhs that is exactly what they are trying to do here. they are trying to cross the border to obtain new jobs here in america and make more money than they were making in their home countries. steve: that's right. according to tijuana, that particular caravan, something like there are 3700 men. 1,000 women, and 1,000 kids u meanwhile, gus, listen to

this. here's another one. one of the claims is that the caravan is far away. watch. >> he knows that migrant caravan isn't showing up here any day. >> a caravan of undocumented immigrants that was quite far from the border. >> caravan that's 800 miles away. >> more than 800 miles away. steve: okay. so where is the caravan? is it that far away? >> the caravan is here. you know, it's really interesting that the mainstream media has failed to essentially run the coverage from this past weekend. the caravan is here, number one. and there has been some elements of violence across the border so much so that the san ysidro portion of the border had to be shut down because there were some violent members of the caravan throwing essentially rocks and glass bottles at border patrol agents. so putting themselves in harm's way. steve: sure. then we have got the news this morning, then apparently a member of ms-13 admitted to the border patrol, yep, i'm from

honduras and i'm trying to go into the united states illegally. he has been arrested. gus, before you leave, what's your biggest concern about the caravan right now? >> it's important to separate fact from fiction. more importantly, it's important to know that the mainstream media is not covering some of the important details here. so i think it's important to note that -- important for our viewers, your viewers to separate fact from fiction and question everything that the mainstream media is saying about this caravan. it's predominantly male. there have been some elements of violence in the even more sad part, according to dhs a statement released by secretary nielsen, they have even used some females and children in the caravan as shields against law enforcement officials. steve: that is troubling. gulls poor tell la, thank you very much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. steve: you bet. president trump says he will not take a pardon for paul manafort off the table. what exactly does that mean? judge napolitano is going to

fox news alert. get, this the health situation becoming dire as migrants continue to overwhelm our southern border. ainsley: officials warning of serious health risks that the caravan could bring into the united states. steve: griff jenkins is live in tijuana, mexico with the very latest where right behind him a tent city. griff, it is raining, it is cold, it is wet, way overcrowded. griff: it is rainy and wet, steve. >> it's not helping the problem. this is a sick population. let me give you the numbers and show you why the health officials are so concerned. they say they treated 2267 out of the 6,000 migrants. over 60% have respiratory infections there have been three confirmed cases of tuberculosis. four confirmed cases of hiv/aids. 101 cases of lies. they say that number is probably much higher and four cases of chicken pox. now they are really concerned also about hepatitis because of the overcrowding situation. this space is for 1,000 people. more than 6,000 crammed in

there guys, there is only 35 bathrooms for it. they have seen home cooking going on in here. it is very, very unsanitary on top of an unhealthy population here. as the rain starts to come down a little bit more this morning. it's expected to go all day long. there are reports that they may try to move this population. we will find out to see what happens. brian: they have to go to a bigger stadium there is concern that more are coming. have you heard there are more caravans coming? griff: we know for sure officials say at least 1,000 to maybe more are coming from southern caravan making its way here. and from mexicali where that ms-13 member was apprehended going across to calexico. those migrants, which was believed to be about 2,000 may be headed this way because they have even worse conditions and less space and resources there in mexicali. steve: it's a desperate situation. let's bring in dr. nicole saphier fox news medical

contributor. >> i'm here. steve: as you look at those images, there are people in a area has capacity 3,000, there are 6,000 people there. what are your concerns? >> everything we are seeing in the shelter now are any time you have overcrowding and poor sanitation. they had to bring in a new pump recently because the sewage was overflowing into all the showers. and so when you have these type the close nit situations with poor sanitation. you are going to to see communicable diseases. gi infections. lies. some children now have confirmed cases of chicken pox. which tend to be in those that are not vaccinated. if you only have i think it was four cases that were confirmed. you can be infected with the virus that causes chicken pox for 21 days before you even see symptoms of it. ainsley: like 6,000 people are crammed into a space made for 1,000 people. did you expect something like this to happen as you were reading and learning these caravans were coming up. >> absolutely. this is not surprising. everything that they are

seeing, when we have bad hurricanes or natural disasters that does force a lot of people into shelters. the concern is how long are they going to be in these conditions? because it will continue to spread. you will have more people affected. and right now they only have a small medical tent outside that's really only eequipped to treat minor illnesses. brian: you can't get into a school if you don't have your shots. now you are sitting in a stadium. >> that's not true anymore in the united states. which is why we are actually seeing increase in chicken pox and other diseases in the united states. brian: you have a whole city outside of that a stadium is wondering what about us? >> yes. and, yes, so if you have unvaccinated children or adults there, they are -- can potentially get chicken pox which is there. in the united states, the majority of our children are vaccinated against chicken pox so they would be safe from this. however, we now have a growing amount of children who are not vaccinated. those are the children who will be at risk. steve: the headline for you they need medical attention

in that caravan. >> of course they do. steve: so the federal government of mexico has got to step up and help. >> whether it needs to be mexico or go back home to their home countries. someone does need to care for these people. they can't stay in these conditions. steve: dr. saphier, thank you very much. ainsley: jillian has headlines for us. >> manhunt is intensifying after police finds the body of a missing north carolina teenager. >> this is the outcome that we all feared that was going to happen. we will not stop until we'll find the person or persons responsible and we bring them to justice. ainsley: the fbi says they found the body of hannah aguilar in a pond 10 miles from her home where she was abducted earlier this month. $30,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. leader asking for mark zurg's name to be removed from a local hospital.

debris flows and we could see feet of snow across the sierra nevada mountains. this is going to bring the energy across the u.s. potential for not only a snow storm and potentially a blizzard but severe storms tomorrow across portions of southern and central plains. we will be watching that for the threat for tornadoes unfortunately. all of that rainfall is going to move across the eastern third of the country this weekend. we will keep you up to date. it's been a busy one so far and not even the official day of winter. back inside. steve: still november. okay j.d. thank you. ainsley: not the cold but the wind that kills you. steve: very breezy. brian: only cold outdoors. ainsley: not necessarily true. steve: president trump says he will not take a pardon for paul manafort off the table. what does that mean? we're going to talk to judge napolitano about that next. brian: the judge has been really busy during this administration. and we are getting a sneak peek at the hottest trucks of the future. mike caudill is live at the

ainsley: former trump campaign chairman paul manafort facing 10 years in prison. but, according to the president, a pardon is not necessarily out of the question. steve: in an interview with the "new york post" yesterday the president said, quote: it was never discussed, a pardon, but i wouldn't take it off the table. why would i take it off the table? brian: judge napolitano, why we take to have the table answering a question

honestly. democrats are throwing their hands up in the air saying this is obstruction, promising a pardon. judge: democrats theory by the president saying that he is manipulating manafort's communications with mueller. i think that's a real serious stress. first of all,the president's pardon power is absolute. he can decide to pardon anybody. but, just for federal crimes. why do i say that? i reread -- after kilmeade sent it to me. i reread the 175 page plea agreement he entered into with bob mueller and approved by a federal judge back in september. at the same time he pleaded guilty to the federal crimes for which mueller's grand juries had indicted him, he also pleaded guilty to as yet uncharged state crimes in new jersey, new york, and california. steve: the president can't pardon. >> the president can't pardon for that from mueller's perspective, a brilliant move. from manafort's perspective, it was a take it or leave it and he took it.

ainsley: if the president did pardon, what would that mean. charges be dropped and serve a lesser sentence? >> serve no time in federal prison. >> he hasn't been charged. he would be charged immediately. would be indicted immediately by a grand jury sitting in those states. guilty plea federal court in september was an admission tout commission of these federal crimes which are in the field of bank fraud. steve: i have i have heard from a number of top republicans that the president has no intention of firing robert mueller. yet on the floor of the senate yesterday there was a bipartisan move between cory booker and also jeff flake to try to come up with a bill to protect robert mueller. got a sound bite from senator mike lee. watch this. >> we cannot convert an office like this one, an office like the previously existing office of independent counsel without creating a de facto fourth branch of government.

fundamentally undermining the principle of separation of powers that is so core to our liberty. and on that basis, madam president, i object. judge: that is the constitutional conscience of the senate senator mike lee. i fully agree with him. also agree with senator mcconnell. this is a solution in search of a problem. first of all, the president can only fire bob mueller for misconduct in office. he can't fire them because he doesn't like who he indicted. and even if he did fire him, that would not undo the indictments or the prosecutions that have begun. senator lee's argument is if you sort of institutionalize this office, and make it very, very difficult for anybody to regulate it, what is it? what branch of the government is it in? if it's in the executive branch, they work for the president. if it's in the legislative branch they work for congress. have you have this thing almost a fourth branch of the government. can you only do that by amending the constitution. brian: jeff flake is trying to go out relevant.

grassley pulled out all these judges out of committee. judge: there are a lot of judges, very good lawyers ready to be confirmed whose confirmations now will not happen until january. brian: real quick, corsey, stone, and the president interacting. there are indications and there is insinuations talking about the wikileaks document dump before it happened. judge: easiest crime to prove is conspiracy because it's just an agreement. the thing agreed to doesn't actually to onto have happened. mueller's theory is probably that there was an agreement amongst trump and others to get information from the russians to julian assange, hacking hillary, out into the public. and if there was an agreement, he would argue to a jury that violates the federal laws which agreeing to foreign nationals, assange and russians to receive something of value to the campaign. how do we know that?

because we saw the proposed guilty plea that they gave jerome corsi, which he rejected, and then sent to the media. steve: all those names mentioned all denied. judge, thank you very much. judge: a pleasure, guys. a lot more to come as you know. brian: you should get a big bonus during the trump years. judge: please tell the second floor. brian: ms-13 member caught in the caravan. we will hear from border patrol chief rodney scott next hour. ainsley: g.m.'s plan to cut jobs. those effects already being seen at the l.a. auto show where we're live coming up next. show you the new cars ♪ brand new hemy with a lift kit ♪ sometimes within 24 hours. while meningitis b is uncommon,

that everyone is moving to sport utility and trucks that's an indication where the market is going and cadillac and general motors as a whole are trying to right the direction they are going with those vehicles. steve: what about the fact that the ceo is not in attendance, that's rare, right. >> yeah. the other thing to take into consideration at the auto show that mary mara is not here. that's definitely an indication as well as to what's happening in the industry as a whole. i don't think address any press conferences or press releases that they don't want to do at the auto show. i think they want to lay low. they are trying to do a market correction with product line up in the marketplace. let me get to a couple different vehicles at the auto show. this is one of the biggest pieces of news we have. this is the lincoln aviator. i have got to tell you all right now this vehicle is one the show stoppers.

have been asked to come in and help decorate. so much goes into it hanging lights, ornaments. brian: santa? ainsley: i didn't see the secret santa tree. steve: you will see that exclusively tomorrow. ainsley: that's right. the tree is from north carolina. you have to win your local contest first. and then you get to the national level. and this guy has tried five times. his family was there when the tree was brought in last week. and they have this tree farm. steve: when you are the tree farm that's the super bowl. ainsley: see it tomorrow in the blue room. a fox news alert. arresting an ms-13 traveling with the migrant caravan. steve: this as fox news exclusively learns of some health risks. some of those migrants are exhibiting in tijuana. brian: griff jenkins is live in tijuana with the latest.

griff? griff: guys, his name is jobel. a 29-year-old honduran. he was traveling with the 2,000 caravan that ended up in mexicali. apprehended by border patrol just across calexico port of entry. and confirming to customs and border protection that he is indeed a member of the very lethal ms-13 gang. but, as you mentioned, not the only health -- not the only risk posed to americans. the health issue is big one. this caravan is very, very sick. take a look at these numbers of the 2267 migrants that were treated. we know that over 60% have respiratory infections. we know that there are three confirmed cases of tuberculosis. four cases of h.i.v./aids. 101 cases of lies. and four cases of chicken pox. it is this overcrowding situation that is really making it difficult. this is a space for 1,000 people. got over 6,000 people crammed in there. constant coughing and spitting. i want to show you a little

bit on that overcrowding. beyond me is the actual major tent city. you see people that couldn't get this there. overcrowded here. i want to just show you this quick image. it's very difficult. it's raining, it's cold and wet. with an already sick population. there is four or five people sleeping underneath this truck. that's the best they can get. there are some reports of possibly moving this population to another location where they could have some shelter and more space. we will find out if that happens later today. and it comes also amid reports with all of these problems, president trump may be considering extending troop deployments along the border into january. currently 5900 active duty troops supporting cdp along with 2100 national guard. this population is very sick, guys. brian: i keep hearing about them possibly beginning to self-deport as the stadium becomes untolerable and becomes clear that rushing the border last weekend was not a good move? some people leaving. have you seen people

leaving? griff: i've seen 80 people deport two days ago, maybe a handful self-deporting yesterday. of course, the mexican officials deported 98 after that sunday situation where they rushed the border. but, you know, by and large, this population, when you talk to the migrants believed they were going to have a much easier time. now they are finally coming to the realization they are not going to get. in most of them will not apply for asylum. the situation is going to reach as one migrant told me perhaps a breaking points where they either just turn around and go home or rush the border again. steve: i read in one the papers in that town this morning that apparently the migrant rest being offered two options. one, apply for refugee status or, two, apply for a one-year visa. but to get the visa, you have got to prove that you are looking for work. and that's why yesterday apparently they had a job fair near where you are. and hundreds lined up looking for jobs in mexico.

griff: we did see, steve, people with forms yesterday here inside the tent city with work applications. mexican government is offering temporary employment and temporary asylum. the problem is the migrants didn't want that they want to get to the united states. and officials in tijuana have a situation with incoming new mexican president. they are not entirely sure whether that administration is offering a longer term deal. to keep these migrants in for a long time. four months, six months, even longer waiting to try and apply for asylum in this city is going to absolutely devastate their resources here because it's costing them 30 to $40,000 a day and they can't sustain that they have no federal funding. whether it's health or, you know, resources like tents and tarps and places to stay. so, that's really the dynamic of the major problem i havtheyhave got here in tijua. ainsley: i want to know more information about this ms-13 guy that was arrested.

i want you to tell us more information on that if you have it. it was from one of your reports i saw a guy say they lied to us. we started down in central america. we came up. we feel like we have been lied to. can you give us information on that, too. griff: yeah. let me elaborate on the lying first. i've talked to a handful of migrants. one guy in particular, marco munoz who is from honduras. he has a pretty credible claim for asylum. his daughter was forced to carry drugs and shot by a cartel. he says when he talked to organizers in both honduras as well as in southern mexico. he was told all along you will get there, going to be easy. they will get you a number and you will quickly get across. that are is not case. the root of the frustration many of these migrants truly believed when they got to this point in tijuana, it was going to be easy and fast. and it's been anything but not. but as we also have seen from cpp. there is a element using as

cover. jose lobel 29 years old had no bones about his identification as ms-13. we have seen along the way back when i started in southern mexico, we didn't air it we have seen a few people with tattoos that would be, perhaps, reaccept plant to gang activity. as we certainly have documented. many of these have a criminal past. interesting point yesterday we had aired and that is the delegate morano here is worried. he said, listen, we want people if they want to work and give them temporary jobs. but if they have a criminal past we don't want them to be here. they have got to go back home. steve: all right. griff jenkins live in tijuana where it is raining. and then have you those four guys sleeping under the truck. apparently another shelter is scheduled to open in that area tomorrow. brian: we know soon, the lame duck session will be over and democrats will be in charge of the house. they have a little bit higher mountain to climb in the senate.

so they believe with the power of the purse that they have in the house and the ability to investigate which they obviously will exercise, they think they have the president over a barrel. for example, adam schiff said you know those questions that robert mueller handed the president to answer in writing, i think i want a live interview. i want to see the president have to sit down with robert mueller one-on-one just to give you an idea of how adam schiff will be aggressive. steve: right. brian: the president is not going to sit there idlely by. i don't know if you figured that out. ainsley: if you read the article, if they go after him and start investigating and investigating and investigating, they will regret it he says if they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want to go and harass the president and the administration, i think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. i'm a counter puncher and i will hit them so hard they had never been hit like that. steve: he says he could declassify that fisa warrant

early on in the investigation and other documents that the mueller team has. remember, it was a couple months ago the president had said you know what? i'm going to declassify them and then there was was some talk whether or not he should do and this a decided to sit on them. now he says he could unleash these essentially on the democrats. and he says in the crosshairs of the fbi, the department of justice, the hillary rodham clinton campaign all worked to set him up. he was advised by emit flood his attorney why don't we sit on these and use them at a more politically expedient point rather than right now. so apparently the president is just waiting to spring them on everybody when he needs them. brian: it's going to be interesting to see because yesterday i saw one of the interviews with a democratic leader and he was saying we don't really plan on going down the impeachment road and doing that so much of an investigation. because if we don't have a nancy pelosi in tick says we are not going to get two thirds in the senate.

we believe it's too much of a risk even to pursue at this point. so let's see where that goes. i think the american people are so fed up with the prospect of investigations and nothing getting done and posturing that it could really blow up in everybody's face. ainsley: yep, i agree. hand it over to jillian who has more headlines for us. jillian: good morning. we now know the names of the three u.s. response killed on the deadliest day this year. army cap andrew ross. eric edmond andy alan elchin died when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb. drug american horrors have died in afghanistan this year. the senate looking to cut u.s. military aid to saudi arabia for the war in yemen. looking to -- voting to pull financial support in light of the trump administration's response to the murder of journalist khashoggi. saudi agents are accused of

killing khashoggi last month at the kingdom's consulate in turkey the senate will vote again next week on taking further action against the country. in just hours, president trump will head to argentine that for the annual g-20 summit. is he expected to meet with several world leaders including russian president vladimir putin. now, according to the kremlin they will discuss antiterrorism efforts, syria and north korean denuclearization. president trump will also hold talks with chinese president xi jinping over the trade war. this is going to make your morning, i promise. a deployed soldier gets a warm welcome home and it's the greeting of a lifetime. jillian: cassandra cabrera was showered with kisses from miss may. she feared her furry friend wouldn't remember her. she was deployed with the army in africa. that's why they say dogs are man's best friend because

[laughter] brian: wow, there he is in houston yesterday taking full credit for the booming energy industry after he left office. this time oil production is he rewriting history or stating the fact. let's bring in president of shell oil company to react. sean, it went up every year that he was in office. is he wrong about that? >> the facts are the facts. and, yes, production did increase throughout his term. but, frankly, he had nothing to do with it. this was production in states like texas, oklahoma,pennsylvania, ohio. colorado, north dakota in particular. these were all state decisions made with industry applications for permits. the federal government had no role. and if anything, he was trying to frustrate the efforts by taking federal lands off of the availability list. putting them no more drilling. he shut down the gulf of mexico for a period of six months. changed the regulations from an average of 60 to 80 pages

perper mitt to 600 to 800 pages per permit. he never approved the xl peep line after dangling potential customers in 8 years. 8th year he said no keystone pipeline. i would say he was not a leader when it comes to energy other than the clean air act or clean power plan where he tried to remake the power generation industry without involving congress and the paris accords, again, without involving congress. so he did try t to do a lot but it was not in the directions of the kind of energy that president trump is working on. brian: beneficiary of fracking, too, correct? >> absolutely. fracking came online about the time that you obama became president, which again, he had nothing to do with and the environment protection agency did a number of studies and

demonstrate that frac diagnose not pollute local ground water and so we continue to frac. brian: general, do you find it maddening that the numbers show it doesn't increase and the president is taking full credit for it in the big picture you feel he got in the way. >> he was mostly in the way when it came to any carbon based fuel. when it came to the actual facts of the matter, because there were areas behind his jurisdiction, things got done the industry and the states working together did a remarkable job, which continues to this day under trump. and so he can take credit for all he wants, but whether people believe him or not it depends on how much history do you really know versus how much history do you want to reinvent. brian: john houg hofmeister was not on the stage in houston but he spoke here in new york. thank you very much. >> you bet. brian: president trump has answered robert mueller's

live interview is better for prosecutors better for congress. the question is how do you get there. the only way to do that is force the president through a subpoena and that would trigger a court fight. that court fight could last quite a long time. congress is really running out of runway to take off any serious investigation that they think might lead to something like impeachment. that takes time. brian: when we look at what is going on now with what we are seeing with all the president's men paul manafort says okay his deal solve the table. jerome corsi says i don't want a plea deal and roger stone says i know i'm about to be indicted. what do you think this means for the president? >> well, it's hard to say. it was a very unfortunate move for the president to be talking about pardons with paul manafort. that certainly plays into the narrative for his

opponents. but, on the other hand, he has issued these written statements denying any knowledge from stone about any contacts with wikileaks or information from wikileaks. he has also denied knowing about the trump tower meeting. now, if he is lying, then he should be impeached and removed. if he is not, if mueller finds there is no such evidence, then this whole narrative becomes more difficult to hold together. you know, sort of like not having a corpus delicti. the question is if he is obstructing justice, the question is why? if he wasn't involved in these decisions, didn't have knowledge of them. it doesn't mean it's impossible, but we're beginning to see -- beginning to get boiled down to some central questions. and those are true or false. does mueller have evidence that the president was involved in these things? what's the -- when did the trump officials, if at any time know about the hacking before it was released? the problem mueller has is

that if the narrative is that some trump associates wanted the wikileaks information, that's not enough. it's not a crime. i mean, clinton's people went toe russia to find dirt on trump. that happens in politics. so, he has got to have some foundation for criminal act to make this narrative plausible. steve: by the way, jonathan, the president just tweeted moments ago and it reads. this. when will this illegal joseph mccarthy style witch huntington, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end or will it just go on forever? after wasting more than $40 million, is that possible? it has proven only one thing. there was no collusion with russia. so ridiculous. your observation about that? >> well, you know, i have been a critic of the president's tweets. i don't think these are helpful. i don't think they are helpful to his position or his team. and, at points his rhetoric undermines all of our desire

to reach a conclusion to this. the president is right there. isn't any evidence thus far of collusion reaching him or even reaching the tops of his campaign. but, this investigation is going to be completed. and, quite frankly, it's in the president's interest to have it completed, have these facts come out if what he said in these written answers are true that there isn't any evidence that he was involved in any collusion. steve: let's see, maybe they are reaching the pinnacle of their investigation and we will all know about it soon. brian: jonathan, real quick, do you think it's almost over? >> i think it is. i think that mueller is looking at the end of the year to try to wrap things up. it makes sense to issue one report before the year end. if he waits until congress comes, in it looks like he is feeding material to the democrats. so it would be better for him to get out a report before the end of the year. steve: there you go. ainsley: we will see. thank you, jonathan. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. 29 minutes after the top of the hour. this video is frightening. pike kel comes inches from

fence with a new border wall that project is ongoing. currently, within a couple hundred yards of the san ysidro port of entry going to the east, we have that old fence that's only a few feet high. then we have about nine miles of the new border wall completed. and then, again, less than 14 miles away from the beach, we have no fencing whatsoever. brian: unbelievable. inexcusable. steve: talk about this member who he identified himself yeah, i used to be in ms-13. 29-year-old jose villa hobos jabel. he was caught in calexico area, el centro sector. was he part of the caravan and went out that way or from one of the other caravans? >> it's hard to say to be quite honest. one of the best ways we identify the caravan members is by their own admission. we do work with the government of mexico and

ngos to try to get more evidence behind that but, for the most part, it's based on their own statements. my belief -- go ahead, i'm sorry. ainsley: let's talk about some of the troops that are down there because the president says he might extend deployment for thousands of active duty troops. we were told they were going to be able to go home for christmas. he says if the problem still exists there, because some these migrant workers say they are going to be there for months because they can't get asylum or be processed that quickly to get through to the united states. he says that he might have to keep the troops down there until january. can you elaborate on this? >> so, i can't really speak to the negotiations between dod and dhs. my job as the chief here is to outline my requirements. the situation here is actually worse than it was last sunday. another 1200 migrants have showed up in tijuana. we have also started to get into our rainy season. it's actually raining right now in san diego, which is fairly rare. it's starting to cool of o. so we are going to monitor this situation daily. and i will push my requirements up to washington, d.c. and let them negotiate that.

brian: we know they said there is about 600 criminals in these caravans. we find out one of them is ms-13. what are your reconnaissance tell you about who else might be in there? >> so, i want to highlight this 600 criminals as well. there is a lot of law enforcement techniques on how we figure that out. but, those are primarily people that have been in the united states in the past and we have been able to get some kind of a criminal history on them. getting criminal history on individuals in other countries is quite difficult. and also, it's by admission. so we had ms-13 member you mention you had. there is another 18th street gang member. self-professed claims to have murdered somebody and been in prison before but tracking down those records is difficult. steve: yeah. chief, over the weekend, of course, that's when hundreds of migrants ran toward the u.s. border. a number of them threw projectiles. rocks at the agents and border patrol agents there. what's the reaction to the agents there in your sector

about, perhaps, another encounter like that? >> so we're preparing accordingly. we watched this migrant caravan, which is different than any other, just by volume and the propensity for violence. we watched them violently push across two international borders and come up through mexico. we did significant intel briefings with our personnel and made sure that we were red with the right equipment. we are basing off of sunday. we have made some adjustments to our enforcement, and we are going to be ready if it comes back again. steve: all right. ainsley: do you mind if i ask what adjustments, can you talk about that that you have made? >> i won't get into the specification. buspecifics, but we do quick review. we have identified vulnerabilities in the border that the department of defense is helping us mitigate currently -- as i speak, actually. we have also looked at our deployment methods and the hot spots. working with our partners in mexico, we are trying to make sure we have mexican

police predeployed and some of our more vulnerable areas. you saw the tijuana river channel where there is really no border barrier at all. that's one of the areas that we are trying to make sure that we have a 24/7 presence. we also have 24-hour aerial surveillance now over the area. we can see any movement of personnel. brian: basically say you will do the best job you possibly can. certainly help to have some type of physical barrier there to aid new your effort. congress just can't get their act together. rodney scott, thanks so much. >> thank you very much. appreciate the time. ainsley: thank you. steve: 22 minutes now before the top of the hour. jillian joins us with some unbelievable video. jillian: video you have to see. go ahead and show you this cyclist narrowly escapes oncoming train. stop what you are doing and watch it really chilling. the moment the cyclist crosses the railroad tracks as a speeding train blows on buy narrowly missing that person. the posted the video to

griff, that sign said no spitting s that becoming a problem? reporter: of course it is, guys. no spitting because they're coughing rapidly and spitting on the ground. give you perspective, you sigh this white tent down there. there is one walk-in vehicle, one bed, one tent. that is tijuana's health officials. that is what they're trying to service 6,000 people in this tent city. let me show you the numbers that tijuana's health department spokesman gave me yesterday. of the 2267 migrants that they have treated here, they know that over 60% have respiratory infections. there have been three confirmed cases of tuberculosis. there have been four cases of hiv aids. 101 cases of lice. four cases of chicken pox. they're really worried about hepatitis becoming a very serious problem because you have 6,000 people packed into a space for 1000. you have only got 35 bathrooms.

do the math. that is 171 people per porta-potty. it is unbelievably unsanitary here. rain making things worse. people are wet and coiled. that is why when you talk to some of these migrants, listen, we did not expect it to be this situation where we couldn't get across. we feel like the organizers lied to us. now we may be reaching a breaking point. here is marco munoz. listen. >> they lied to us from the beginning. so most of these people are disappointed, getting frustrated. so, i think they see everything, more and more people are coming. so there will be a "point break." they are just going to say, let's rush in there, you know? reporter: one thing to consider, if they end up moving them from this location which we have been hearing a lot of reports of, it will be interesting to see how that goes. because it could be a lot of problems because the migrants

here are not entirely trustful of mexican officials. they may feel like they're being deported that coming on the heels of the fact everyone in here is already sick and needs any help they can get. final point. tijuana is the only health officials here. there is no federal assistance going on. so the situation will be worse and fluid. guys. steve: it is dire. griff, thank you very much. meanwhile let's talk a little bit about the mueller investigation. remember when we heard mueller wanted to ask the president a bunch of questions. he did via written questionnaire. the president responded. now we're hearing, and presumably, these leaks are from the president's team, we haven't really recorded anything from the mueller team, apparently the president in his written answers said he didn't know anything about wikileaks directly during the campaign. he didn't know anything about the 2016 trump tower meeting either. ainsley: with the russian attorney. brian: we do know "the washington post" came forward. they had a story today shows roger stone, president of the

united states seemed to have talked a lot late at night, according to roger stone. he said i did call a lot to trump tower. since the president doesn't email i would read to his assistant we all know her name. this is my idea what you should be doing on the campaign. this is in 2016. but they did exchange a lot of calls according to roger stone and this story. so coming down to two themes over the last few days. jerome corsi, roger stone, and the president, how often did they talk and what did they know about julian assange? at very least they're bragging a about a relationship they had. now they basically want to say, don't believe what i wrote. ainsley: talking on the phone is not a crime. they worked together. brian: i'm not saying it's a crime. i'm saying roger stone was in contact, if they do have, if the mueller team has who the phone number is to the unknown caller that called roger stone, if it is the president, then they're going to drill down on that, or

maybe they have. steve: i'm sure they have the metadata they know exactly who called whom. were there any laws broken? jonathan turley summarized it this way. >> beginning to get boiled down to some central questions. those are true or false. does mueller have evidence that the president was involved in these things? what's the, when did the trump officials, at anytime know about the hacking before it was released? the problem mueller has is that if the narrative is that some trump associates wanted the wikileaks information, that's not enough. it is not a crime. i mean clinton's people went to russia to find dirt on trump. that happens in politics. brian: political gossip. that is not why you spend $40 million on a three-year investigation. this is what roger stone and jerome cores do. they write books about it. this is what they think.

this is their theories. interaction with the president. doesn't mean they were calling the shots. dave bossy, corey lewandoski, kellyanne conway, steve bannon, those are calling the shots. not these -- ainsley: you asked him that question, when will it end? it will probably end, this is his take, hopes or thinks it will end by the end. year because democrats take over in january. wouldn't look good in mueller -- steve: talked to the president. he is the last one you would i this he would talk to. ainsley: i love that question. we all want it to be over, right? go on policy, not investigations. steve: jillian joins us with news from the pentagon. jillian: good morning. we know names of three special ops killed on afghanistan. eric ayman and air force staff sergeant dylan eglin died after their vehicle hit a roadside bomb. three americans and a contractor

six months as well as onerous civil penalties. they really had no choice but to file this action, rather than wait and have to fight it from jail. ainsley: okay. so you lost at the state level. and now it is going to the supreme court. the supreme court agreed to hear it in january. what can we expect then? >> i'm hoping we can expect the court to reverse a lower court because what is at issue here, whether artists and other americans can be banished from the marketplace just because they disagree with the government's view. it transcends the marriage issue. artists cannot be coerced to express messages that violate their core convictions no matter what side of the debate they're on. >> the attorney eric frazier, represents phoenix, they want the court system, talking about you guys, they want the court system to give a blank check to refuse service to any same-sex couple requesting custom wedding products. there is no principled way to distinguish sexual orientation versus discrimination on other

basis or race or even religion. do you understand what he is saying? do you understand the other side? >> absolutely we understand it. it is just flat wrong. it is a free speech guaranties mean anything they protect author's pen and painter's brush. this old tired analogy to race is just a bankrupt analogy. the supreme court has rejected not once, but twice in the oberkfell same sex decision and cake shop decision. they serve everyone. they don't express all messages. that is critical distinction. ainsley: this is so important you're willing to go to jail if you lose? >> we're bringing this case so that we don't have to go to go jail. because we believe artists should be free to create without threat of punishment by the government. we want that to happen so we don't want to. ainsley: what if you lose, and you're thrown in jail? >> we'll have to discuss that with our attorneys at that time. >> they won't violate their

conscience. they may have to shutter their doors. artists shouldn't have to give up constitutional rights to make a living. ainsley: many christians think what you're doing is admirable. many people of faith would think that. many people not of faith would. but the other side, you might have some in the faith community would challenge this and say, jesus loved everybody. god loved everybody. what is your response to that, to those critics? >> we love everyone. and which serve everyone. and we are here just believing strongly and standing up for the rights of artists to be free to create. we want that for all artists, all people, no matter what they think who they are. >> the point of the case is let everybody make the decision what would jesus do. that is the point of this case. the constitution gives us that right. ainsley: ladies thank you so much for being with us. god bless you. >> thank you. ainsley: nancy pelosi might won the democrat nomination for the house speaker but the power battle is far from over. dana loesch is here to react live next. one high school football player picks up a huge win before the

there is his picture. he intended to apply for asylum in the united states. turns out he had already been deported once. what is your reaction to that? >> i'm not actually shocked to hear. this is what something dhs warned us about. secretary nielsen warned us about. there are 600 known criminals and gang members traveling under the cover of this caravan. they're exploiting numbers to use this as a way to gain entry into the united states. this really underscores the importance of how this has to be a careful process. you can't just let every single person n you have to be able to vet everyone to make sure individuals are who they are claim they are. there have been a number of reports put out by border patrol, getting into how the family units that have, previously identified themselves as family units to border patrol, actually weren't family units, traveling with children that is not even theirs. that is very concerning. for those who claim they care

about the individuals, particularly children that are traveling with this caravan, although others reported predominantly men of a certain age demographic, the good thing to wait to make sure people are who they say they are, and that criminals are not exploiting this as a way to get inside of the united states. that is common sense. i wish we hear from democrat leadership what their solution to the problem, how they would handle it. only thing i heard, elijah cummings saying we should let everybody in. he was making the argument not to vet anyone. brian: unbelievable. ben cardin said the system was working fine until donald trump took office. what planet is that guy on? everybody agreed it needed to be fixed updated, how to do it is the debate. now donald trump fault turbulence at the border. unbelievable. talk about turbulence. nancy pelosi got over 200 votes in the top secret ballot, 203 to 32. she does not right now have enough votes to become speaker

again. why? >> i think because people are trying to uphold promises they made to their voters. you have this battle going on in the democrats right now, i can't stand it see people compare to the tea party. the tea party was actually protesting against more government. people like nancy pelosi are promising more government. interestingly enough, so-called grassroots resistance in the democratic parties. just how much they want to have government. what is individuals these road the wave of resistance, anguish, angst, they're trying to take a stand against nancy pelosi. but when push comes to shove on the floor i think she will have the votes. i think resistance stops at the door of the chamber. i don't think it goes beyond that. she will assume the gavel. steve: i think you're 100% right but what about when she is speaker? what about the 32 democrats who voted against her yesterday? you know we had guests on they will get punished. they will wind up with bad

assignments, stuff like that, shunned by democratic leadership? >> yeah. that is exactly right. that is why there have been a lot of those democrats that ended up in this 11th hour coming around to nancy pelosi. they realize better to be on her good side than not. as much as i dislike her politics, she is incredibly savvy, i wish she was savvy promoting limited government agenda of freedom. that being said she is very savvy with manipulating members of her own party. she is known to put people in their place, giving them very bad as assignments, if any at all. we'll see how that works out. a lot more people will come to her side at the end. day. steve: she is prolific fund-raiser. d.c. runs on money. >> cannot argue with money. steve: cannot indeed. brian: jillian mele is also pro-money. jillian: isn't everybody though? starting with this. stormy daniels calling out her attorney michael avenatti.
