12:01 pm
our reporting begins with the investigation of the president taking a new turn this afternoon. the house judiciary committee now wants grand jury secrets related to the mueller probe. so new today, it's asking a federal judge to unseal them. the reason? the committee chairman says it needs access to relevant facts in order to consider whether to recommend the house impeach president trump. >> the committee is exercising its authority to investigate all of these scandals and to recommend -- to decide what to do about them, which include articles of impeachment. >> reporters tried to get chairman nadler to explain what is happening. is this a formal impeachment inquiry. his answer. >> i suppose there's one difference. if you said an impeachment inquiry is considering only impeachment. that's not what we're doing. we're investigating all of this
12:02 pm
and we're going to see what remedies we can recommend, including possibility of articles or impeachment. we're not limited to that. that's very much the possibility as a result of what we're doing. >> shepard: in other words democrats say it is what you want it to be. there was a report on the topic of grand jury secrecy, which is governed by the federal rules of criminal procedure. in particular, rule 6 e, which states that attorneys, grand jurors and others must not disclose a matter occurring before the grand jury. except courts have been conflicted on whether congress can get exceptions. nancy pelosi for her part says she does not support launching a formal impeachment inquiry right now. we'll proceed when we have what we need to proceed. >> speaker pelosi says she doesn't want -- speaker pelosi says she wants the committee to
12:03 pm
keep investigating. chairman nadler says that he will go to court if the former white house counsel don mcgahn does not comply with a subpoena. mcgahn is an important fact witness. he sat for 30 hours of questioning from the mueller team and his name is in the mueller report more than 500 times. republicans from the judiciary committee have argued that democrats have no right to the grand jury material and should propose a bill to get access to it. the chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel reporting live on capitol hill. mike? >> good afternoon. the house judiciary chairman is sending a clear signal that even though lawmakers are leaving the house for a six-week recess, the investigation work continues and lawmakers are not bound to the former special counsel's report. >> appears to be compelling evidence of the president's misconduct outside of the four corners of the redacted version of the mueller report. and we will work to uncover that
12:04 pm
evidence as well. >> nadler walking a fine line here trying to show his constituents and the base to show that they're still working. shep? >> shepard: more democrats coming forward with interest in impeachment. >> no doubt about it. by fox's count, the count is up to 100 lawmakers favoring an impeachment inquiry. the latest two from new hampshire and california. annie custer of new hampshire, mike levin of california wanted to go on the record on the subject before they go back to their constituents in their districts for six weeks. so when their constituents ask them, they're on the record of supporting an inquiry. shep? >> shepard: russia's unprecedented efforts to infiltrate the 2016 election targeted each of the 50 states. that's new information from the report from the senate intelligence committee. the bipartisan document reveals
12:05 pm
state governments did not get enough warnings from the feds about cyber attacks and were not prepared to handle them. the committee reports that they found no evidence that the russians changed any votes. this week the former special counsel, robert mueller, told congress russia's effort to interfere in the 2016 election and ongoing interference now is dangerous. mitch mcconnell blocked two election security measures calling them partisan bills. chuck schumer says it's a national security issue. chris wallace is here with us live from d.c. hello, friend. >> how are you, sir. >> shepard: i'm well. there's not one stand alone bill on election security despite the fact that we know the russians came and are coming again. >> there was one bill passed for
12:06 pm
election security. what schumer is looking for is a follow-on bill that was passed by the house that would add another $775 million and say to campaigns, if you get any feelers from any foreign country, you have to report that. it would establish a kind of paper trail of ballots so that if there were some cyber attack, that there would be paper evidence of who people actually voted for. those are the bills, the measures, that mcconnell has blocked. two reasons really. one, he said they're partisan bills. two, he said they haven't spent the $380 million that's been appropriated so far. so why do we want to spend another $775 million. that's his argument for it. schumer, as you say, has said that that is inadequate. one of the political realities here is rightly or wrongly, there's a feeling among some republicans that anything the democrats do in this area is seen as saying that the russians interfered in the last election
12:07 pm
had an effect on the last election, which creates sensitivities at the white house. so you know, it's a political issue. i think everybody has to agree that we want to do everything that we can to protect the country from continued and apparently continuing russian interference. perhaps interference by other countries in our democratic process. >> shepard: there's this difference of opinion within the democratic party about whether to go full steam toward impeachment or something else. we kept wondering, how will that massage this thing. i think we learned today. chairman nadler got up there and said we're going to go ahead with impeachment proceedings without saying we're going to go ahid with impeachment proceedings. that's what they're doing. he did say that much. >> but it's not a formal impeachment proceeding with a vote by the house to proceed to that he's the head of the judiciary committee which would handle any potential impeachment. you can call it what you want,
12:08 pm
clearly there's continuing investigation not only on the mueller report but on a variety of other things. you continue to see a number of subpoenas for witnesses to testify for documents to be handed over. but nancy pelosi in her news conference made it clear, she doesn't want to proceed to a formal impeachment or even hearings to lead to that unless they have a stronger case than they have now. you don't even have half, even with 100 democrats, you don't have half of the democrats and certainly not half of the house that you would need to pass an impeachment resolution. and then if you did that, it goes to the senate. there's not been a single republican senator that has said that they support removing the president. that's what would happen in the senate after impeachment. you would need 67 senators, republicans and democrats, to remove a president. so what pelosi is saying, we're not going to go into this unless
12:09 pm
there's stronger evidence, more bipartisan buy-in. i think there's a concern that if they do that republicans will say oh, you spent your year in the majority going after the president instead of doing things to help americans. >> shepard: along the way while working toward that end of getting more information, nadler is talking about these grand jury -- the sealed grand jury stuff. that is one thing. don mcgahn testimony, that i think will be important to them. >> if they get it. >> shepard: it's important to them to try to get it. the don mcgahn testimony is something that the democrats really want. >> yeah, if you read volume 2 of the mueller report, some of the most damaging allegations against the president are that repeatedly the president pressed don mcgahn and his white house counsel to basically get the justice department to fire robert mueller and end the special counsel's investigation. when that was reported by "the new york times" that reportedly
12:10 pm
according to the mueller report the president told mcgahn, you have to deny that. mcgahn refused to do that. sure, that would be -- i say sure, it would be damaging testimony, but on the other hand a lot of people thought that robert mueller was damaging testimony and that didn't work out the way that people thought. >> shepard: it wasn't the movie is better than the book. >> no. >> shepard: thanks, chris. we'll look for you sunday on "fox news sunday." he will take with mick mulvaney and others. that's this sunday on your local fox station. fox news has a new batch of polling that shows in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, joe biden would beat the president by a comfortable margin. ten percentage points nationwide. same spread as last month and outside the margin of a error. the president tweeted about the polling. fox news is at it again, he wrote. so different from what they used to be during the 2016 primaries and before. proud warriors.
12:11 pm
now fox news polls, which have always been terrible to me have me down to sleepy joe. the fox news poll did have president trump losing the popular vote to hillary clinton and it was accurate. the final survey was done november 3-6 of that year. among both registered and likely voters, the poll predicted hillary clinton would beat trump by 4 percentage points. so clinton would win the popular vote by a margin of 1.5% and 6.5%. she did. her margin of victory was 2.1%. the polls were accurate. we're learning more about the navy seals booted back home from iraq and reports that the bad behavior went beyond alcohol. also, the frantic man hunt for two teens accused of going on a murder spree. there's word one of the suspects has a sick obsession and one of

12:27 pm
an embarrassing end. the investigation is ongoing, shepard. >> shepard: jennifer, we're also learning more about the marines yesterday in a separate incident. >> that's right. we learned the 16 marines arrested yesterday were all junior enlisted marines ranging from private first class to corporal. all arrested at camp pendelton. they were surprised after roll call was taken. >> it was around 800 marines. ncis came to the area and pulled those 16 marines out and they were arrested at that point. >> eight other marines from the first marine division were taken in for questioning for their potential involvement in a separate drug smuggling ring.
12:28 pm
information gained from a previous human smuggling investigation which uncovered two marines smuggling migrants over the southern border with mexico, charging them $8,000 apiece precipitated the arrests. we're told none of the marines arrested or detained for questioning served along the border as part of the pentagon mission there, shepard. >> shepard: jennifer griffin, thanks. andrew is here with us now. he served six years as a jag or judge advocate general officer and took part in six trials last year. he tried more than 150 sexual assault cases and handled more than a dozen human trafficking cases. good of you. thank you. >> good to see you, shep. >> shepard: these marines, 16 of them, human trafficking, how will this proceed? >> well, these are not the headlines the department of the navy likes. when sailors and marines are doing with good work.
12:29 pm
investigations like this tend to take time. these individuals have rights to remain silent and protect themselves. that's a road ahead. >> shepard: then there's the seal team. first the reason is they were caught drinking on deployment, which is forbidden. and then we learned, they're all being brought home at once because the guy in charge is like, you know, we can't have this anymore. now we learned that one of them is suspected of rape. raping another member of the military. if no one is talking, and you send them home, how does that proceed? >> the investigation in this case with regard to the sexual assault is what is taking the most seriously and the primary focus of what's going on. it's going to be a focus on what sort of evidence they have to establish whether it was one individual or a group of individuals that help facilitate the crime and whether the crime is supported by the facts.
12:30 pm
with regard to the alcohol, it's something where a unit starts to degrade themselves and show they're not respecting the rules and regulations, it's not going to be tolerated, this is extreme measures for the department of the navy to take. >> shepard: what are the rules, for instance, members of the sail team new of something like this alleged sexual assault and refused to talk, are the rules within the military the same as among civilians? >> you have a right to remain silent if you're suspected of criminal activity. so if you have a chance of them holding you criminally accountable, you don't have to provide information that may incriminate you. similar to civilians. but if people obstruct the investigation where they're not otherwise suspected themselves of wrong doing, that is something that ultimately is obstruction of justice. >> thank, andrew. appreciate you being here.

recently, there's word you might not be eating the real thing. there's word that avocados supplies are so low that restaurants are starting to use a cheaper green squash in their gauc and customers have no idea. green squash? trace, what is this? >> let me tell you something. this customer would know that you're trying to sneak some squash in my gauacamolguacamole. when you boil and blend the squash and mix it with spices, it can pass as guacamole. again, you put enough jalapenos and shaving cream, you wouldn't know the difference. they've done taste tests. the guacamole made with squash, the census is that it tastes similar but doesn't have the same consistency.

here's the reason we're talking about this. last year at this time the department of agriculture says a medium crop was $1.17. today, it's $2.10. 91% increase. primarily because of the extreme heat in california over the past several months. it greatly reduced the crop. that's just california. mexico provides 90% of the avocados in the u.s. the prices down south, higher. a year ago, a 25-pound box, $37. today, $84 a box. analysts say by september the prices in mexico should come down a lot. on the flip side, the squash runs about 60 cents and one is the equivalent of one avocado. the taco shop across the street, no joke, still using strictly avocados. no squash there. but it's gone up dramatically

over the past several months. you can notice the uptick. in mississippi, they gave squashes all the time. nobody has any idea what you're eating there. >> shepard: we can't say that. we would have to -- no. that would need a revision. thanks, trace. dog treats, i mentioned blamed in a salmonella outbreak. it's the pup's owners that were turning up sick. centers for disease control and prevention in atlanta blaming some potentially contaminated pig ears. a lot of pet stores sell the big ears. no word on where the bad ones originated. the cdc is tracking 90 cases of people getting sick in more than two dozen states. sail can affect animals that eat the bad treats and clearly the owners who not eat them but handle them. so when in doubt, throw it out using gloves. so the breaking news at the white house. first, we were told reporters
