jonathan hunt has more. >> we've had very few details since you and i sat here five days ago reporting the news that luke perry had been rushed to the hospital after a 911 call was placed from his home in sherman oaks, northwest of downtown los angeles describing someone having a stroke. we have had no details on his condition then. the silence from those close to him seem significant. a couple hours ago, we got the tragic news in the statements from his reps confirming his death. we were told his children, jack and sophie and his fiance, were with him and the statement went on. >> no further details will be released at this time. perry's health had not been known to be an issue for the

here. another portion of a roof from another house blew in to the front yard. as we pan over here, you can see law enforcement in full force. they're at this point only allowing emergency responders into the hardest hit areas further down the road. they are not allowing media any further. even on the periphery of this giant tornado that meteorologists was perhaps a mile wide in some parts of alabama, you can see the extent of the damage on the periphery, trace. >> trace: what are the feds doing now to help, jonathan? >> yeah, house speaker nancy pelosi has pledged the full support of congress to help alabama and surrounding states pick up the pieces in the wake of this devastating tornado. the white house is also pledging its support. governor kay ivey of alabama says she received a call on her cell phone from president trump.

safe. the national weather service saying this was an ef-4, about 170 miles per hour winds. it's a monster. we're being told you had maybe four minutes from the warning until the actual touchdown of the tornado. what was it like for you and your family, liz? >> well, i heard some noise and i looked out the window. when i looked out the window, i heard it sounded like a train. the wind was blowing. so i told my granddaughters and their mother, i said, get to my room. so we got to my bedroom. we get on the floor and huddled together. i told them to hold on tight. sounded like a train went through our house. felt like a long time but it wasn't a long time. maybe two or three minutes. then when it was over, i told them to stay there. i went and opened the door and i looked out and i was just shocked at what i seen. my next door neighbor, she had just got a new trailer.

her trailer was gone. it was absolutely gone. i run to see if she was there. i called her. she wasn't at home when it happened. >> trace: you said two or three minutes, liz. can you tell me what happened at your home? could you hear the creeking and things breaking? what were your grandchildren doing during this time? >> my granddaughters and their mother was hanging on to each other. i told him to held on tight. we could hear stuff hitting the house. trees cracking and the wind was blowing. it was just like a few minutes later, it was just over. it was terrifying. >> trace: and the kids? what were they saying during this time? this clearly had to be their first experience. it's been a long, long time since a tornado of this size haas been through lee county. what were the grandchildren saying?

>> they were just holding on. they wasn't saying much of nothing. i told them to hold on. i figured if we were doing to go, we were going to go together. they was hanging on. they was really scared, too. >> trace: i know you said you had been walking around your neighborhood and a lot of your neighbors' homes are gone. do you know how they fared through this? do you know of anybody that might be missing or at least considered missing at this point in time? >> not offhand i don't. i know yesterday evening, we was going to stay here at the house, but they turned the water off and they turned the gas off. then they told us that we couldn't stay here because they were going to have the dogs out looking for missing people. us being here may bother the dogs. so we had to go to my son's house. >> trace: the best to you and

your family, liz. we're so sorry but happy you're okay. tragic situation there in lee county, alabama. thanks for your time with us. thank you. >> we appreciate it. >> trace: meantime, house democrats launching a massif investigation into whether president trump obstructed justice. the judiciary committee asking for documents from organizations linked to the president. details and the response from the white house coming up next. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands?

are taking their investigation in a different direction. >> republicans are refocusing their direction on the anti-trump dossier. it was unverified but used by the fbi to obtain records. this is expected to reveal how the dossier was seeded with u.s. government officials and one of the main drivers was the co-founder of gps glen simpson, accused of providing conflicting testimony to congress about the handling of the dossier. our reporting has shown the dossier came through multiple unofficial channels to the fbi in the summer and fall of 2016 and what appeared to be an effort to lend the document credibility and as you know in his testimony, the president's former attorney michael cohen,

had said he never been to prague. that was one of the central claims of the dossier. >> trace: thanks, catherine. in a major show of defiance, juan guaido returned to the company. he landed at the airport in caracas and tweeted that he passed through immigration checks. the government had banned him from leaving venezuela, but he left anyway. he met with latin american leaders and vice president mike pence. the u.s. and dozens of other countries have recognized guaido as venezuela's leader instead of disputed president nicholas maduro. the 2020 presidential field getting more crowded today. coming up, another democrat joining the race. plus, developments in congress that could set up president trump's first veto thanks to members of his own party. a live report from capitol hill is coming up. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis

said he knew some of his colleagues would have constitutional concerns. >> i was one of those hoping the president would not take the national emergency route. once you decide to do that, i said i would support it. i said i hoped he wouldn't take that path. >> now mcconnell expects this measure will pass the senate and will be sent to president trump and promptly vetoes. trace? >> trace: mike, what do we know about other republicans leaning against the national emergency? >> three came out quickly against the national emergency, susan collins, lisa murkowski and tom tillis. tillis explained his concern. >> fundamental to this debate is a disturbing trend the last 70 years of congress when they can't do their job of passing a bill to let the president do it. that's not the way to do it. >> a lot of people have asked me about the emergency orders that

president trump did. i know it wasn't his first choice. it's not my first choice that anything would have to be done through the emergency order. the democrats have not helped the president. he knows he has to have border security. everybody says they want it. they don't do it. >> assuming all goes as planned, this would be the president's first veto. trace? >> trace: mike emanuel live for us on capitol hill. thank you. new week, new candidate. another democrat announcing this morning he's running for president. former colorado governor john hickenlooper joining a dozen contenders. alicia acuna reporting live from denver. alicia? >> hi, trace. the former two-time colorado governor acknowledged that he needs to introduce himself and he got underway with a youtube video. >> i'm john hickenlooper. i'm running for president because we're facing a crisis.

citizen, she says she is and she wants to return here to face charges. >> i have papers, i have citizenship. >> she's in fact a citizen. the law will show that over a period of time. the secretary's reasoning as to why she's not a citizen, the court gave -- foreshadowed how it would view that. the danger part on it, the supreme court has long head that dangerousness is not a basis to withhold. the loss of citizenship is not a punishment. i would caution us to think long and hard about that. >> the judge did say that the argument that she did make a valid argument today for the underlying case that she is entitled to citizenship, trace. >> trace: but it gets confusing, rich. the state department officials say she was never a citizen. >> right. the argument from the state department is that she was born to yemenee diplomats.

if that happens, you're not a citizen of the united states. mike pompeo says she doesn't have legal basis. no passport, no right to a pass fort, nor any visa to travel to the u.s. but her attorneys argue that her father stopped being a diplomat from yemen a few weeks before she was born. meaning the issue that she was born to an active diplomat is not at play here and she is a citizen all an issue that has to work its way through the court system. trace? >> trace: rich edson live in the north lawn. thank you. the u.s. and china are moving closer to striking a deal on trade. that's what a source familiar with the discussions tells fox news. our corporate cousins at the "wall street journal" says china could lower tariffs and the united states could lifts

sanctions. blake burman has more. >> i spoke with a source that knows about the discussions. he said "we're moving." they are optimistic over here at the white house a deal could potentially happen in the upcoming weeks. as it stands now, no official deal between the united states and china. speaking to maria bartiromo earlier this morning, kevin hassett echoed those sentiments. >> those folks are working really hard to deliver a deal. way north of 100 pages filled with nuances and details. everybody is hopeful that this will get to the finish line soon. >> the finish line may be some time soon. for all of the positive talks, there's still some hurdles to overcome for both sides. when you boil all of this down, trace, commodity purchases, structural issues and especially how to enforce them are at the core of a potential deal between china and the united states, trace. >> trace: blake, what could happen with the tariffs in this whole thing? >> yeah, still very much in

play. what exactly happens with tariffs from here on out is one of the big questions. that source that i spoke with this morning said the u.s. would like to and could be a part of a deal with china have china reduce auto tariffs. as it relates to the retaliatory tariffs at the start of the trade war or whatever, the chinese want to see them go away. president trump earlier this weekend when he was speaking to the cpac gathering in washington touted the tariffs as the reason for whied the two sides have been able to get this far and potentially even close a deal. >> i know there's people in the republican party and people really even conservatives, good conservatives that don't like tariffs. i'm not liking or not liking. the minimum, the greatest negotiating tool in the history of our country. >> when you talk about negotiations, trace, no matter

who you talk to at the white house or whoever is familiar with the on going trade discussions, this comes down to president trump and president xi. one of the fluid items is when a meeting could take place. the likely possibility at this point is that they could meet in mar-a-largo at the end of the month though. it's also not cemented, not firm at this point, at least from the white house side of things that that will take place at the end of march. still very fluid, trace. >> the president keeps saying they have a great relationship. we'll see. blake burman, live. thank you. now back to our big story. just in, live pictures of the storm devastation in georgia, this is about 75 miles south of atlanta. in this city, fewer than 900 people, several homes and buildings. look at this. several homes and buildings in ruins. power poles snapped.

>> trace: more on one of our top stories. the death of actor luke perry, 52 years old when he had a massive stroke and never recovered. we have a board certified doctor here with us. doctor, everybody is saying the same thing. 52 years old. looked like he was in good

shape. didn't have any real medical problems in his history. this has to be rare. am i wrong? >> actually, this is heartbreaking. in his age group, it's not uncommon to have a stroke. they're most common in 65 and older. it's unfortunate. because he's is fairly young. the question is, why did he have a stroke? what caused it? there's various risk factors that put you at risk such as a smoker or if you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. that's the underlying question that we need to look at. >> trace: what if he wasn't a smoker and he didn't have high blood pressure? he looked lean. is this a family history thing? is that a big contributing factor? >> there's a genetic component. most of us have control over whether we have risk factors for a stroke. for example, do you exercise, do you eat a good well-balanced

diet, do you smoke, do you drink. alcohol can contribute, smoking a risk factor. if you have diabetes, any underlying blood vessel disease. there's a small genetic component that is a part of it. we don't know his family history, obviously hippa violations. but he could have been born with a genetic defense in his heart making it a higher risk of stroke and stronger complications. >> what about the rest of us? what are we looking for for stroke symptoms and so forth? maybe smaller strokes. what are we looking for? >> a great question, trace. 150,000 people die every year from a stroke. so it's easy to remember. if you can remember the word "fast." facial dropping, arm weakness, slurred speech, any of those three things happen, call 911. the main thing we see is facial drooping, slurred speech and

extremity tingling. time is of the essence. the hours matter, the minutes matter. if you can get to the emergency room and you're having an ischemic stroke, lack of blood flow to your brain, you can be treated and saved and we can reverse the symptoms. >> well, that's what i'm confused about. the paramedics on scene when they got to luke perry's house said hey, he was responsive at the time. what happens between then and the hospital? is there a critical timing there? >> yes. it depends on the type of stroke. did he have a stroke where we couldn't get enough blood flow to the brain, maybe a blood clot or did he have a hemorrhagic stroke, a bleed. that's timing. that's very difficult. if you have a bleed, it's hard to stop that you need a cat scan to determine what type of strike you're having before you get the treatment and the medication.
