12:00 pm
thing. what he said on twitter, he wasn't fired for it. they stood behind him. they didn't agree. they lost millions. they stood hint him -- >> dana: we could have a big arm wrestle about that. thank you for joining us. i'll see you on "the five." trace gallagher, are you here? there you are. >> the interview was exceptional with mark zuckerberg. i found him very deliberative and cautious about what he was about to say. >> dana: yeah. we talked to when he refers they closed the news tab, it cost $100 billion in one day. lost 25% of their market share. there's consequences to making decisions like that. thanks, trace. hope you have a great show. >> thank you. we're following a walk back at the white house and another parent punished in the college scandal. a fox urgent. the airplane maker boeing may have misled the federal aviation administration issue and a key safety system on the 737 max
12:01 pm
planes, the plead involved in a deadly pair of crashes that killed everybody on board. all this according to reports which cite instant messages from two boeing employees. our chief correspondent jonathan hunt covering breaking news from los angeles. jonathan, tell us about the text messages. >> yeah, trace. the faa and the justice department now have these messages. the faa has called them "concerning." the messages are between mark faulkner, the chief technical pilot for the boeing 737 max when it was going through the certification process and another boeing pilot. in one, faulkner says the automated systems on the max were making the plane very difficult to fly on a simulator. you'll remember, it was that automated system that is being blamed for two crashes. one in indonesia in october of 2018, the other in ethiopia in march this year that killed
12:02 pm
three 46 people. the ncas system is said by investigators to have sent both planes into unrecoverable nose dives. two years before the first of those crashes, faulkner apparently messaged his colleague saying of the auto system "it's running rampant in the sim" meaning simulator and adding" granted i suck at flying but this is egregious." faulkner admits to misleading the faa saying "i basically lied to the regulators unknowingly." those messages are from november 2016. the faa confirmed they were told by boeing only yesterday about the messages and it's "reviewing this information to determine what action is appropriate." the faa administrator has written to boeing demanding an immediate explanation as to why
12:03 pm
it took so long nor the company to hand over those messages, trace. >> sounds like this is about to become a big deal. what are we hearing from boeing? >> it's what the company hasn't said that is most significant here. that is exactly when it became aware of these messages and its chief technical pilots concerns. boeing has issued a statement. that says that it's cooperating with an investigation by the house transportation committee and "brought to the committee's tension a document containing statements by a former boeing employee." the company says" we will continue to follow the direction of the faa and other global regulators as we work to safely return the 737 max to service." on that subject, the faa says "the agency will lift the grounding order only after we have determined the aircraft is
12:04 pm
safe." boeing's ceo will be up for questioning at the end of the month. >> dana: sounds like the 737 max will be on the ground awhile. the clock is ticking for energy secretary rick perry to comply with a subpoena request for documents just one day after he handed in his resignation. house democrats demanding the documents are part of their impeachment investigation. secretary perry is stepping down at the end of this year. this morning he told fox news his decision has nothing to do with the impeachment inquiry. meantime, house democrats had a closed-door hearing scheduled for today, but that has been postponed. a chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge reporting live from washington. catherine? >> good afternoon on fox. earlier today, perry said the decision to leave the trump administration was based on a variety of factors. he said personal as well as business considerations and business goals that he felt he
12:05 pm
achieved. he said it had nothing to do with the scandal with the bidens and ukraine. >> has absolutely nothing to do with ukraine. it has everything to do with the last eight or nine months, i have -- i've been back to texas with my wife, my dogs and going on the next adventure in life. i had a number of things that i really wanted to get done before i departed and came back to texas. working on the l&g products, t. >> after the story broke yesterday, the president told reporters that "perry had done a great job and that he would wrap up by the end of the year." it's worth noting that president trumpery sently pinned the ukraine call, the july 25 call between the president and the new leader of ukraine at the heart of the democrat's impea impeachment on perry as his idea. perry said he did seek out rudy guliani, but he said he never heard anyone in the
12:06 pm
administration or anyone connected to the white house, which is code for guliani or the ukrainians discuss the possibility of an investigation into the bidens, trace. >> i know you been busy this week. what's on the schedule for next week? >> one of the big witnesses is bill taylor. he's a top diplomat in ukraine. more of someone that you want to think of as a career diplomat, someone at the state department. we know from the texts that he challenged the administration's approach to ukraine and these are the texts that everyone points to that involves gordon sondland appointed by the president and the point man for the european union.
12:07 pm
bi >> what we learned through sondland's testimony this week is that he was uncomfortable with the use of the president's personal attorney as a conduit with the ukraine. he felt this was a job better suited to the state department. as a final piece of bookkeeping, the republicans on the house intelligence committee sent a letter to the democratic colleagues. i lays out the amount of correspondence that the democrats have put to the white house and specifically cabinet secretaries for records about the impeachment inquiry. the republicans are arguing they're not getting access to these records, which would be like -- think of it like bread crumbs on a trail. would show them where the democrats are going and they're failing to upload these things. we know how difficult uploading can be. thanks. >> thanks, catherine. the acting white house chief of staff trying to clarify his comments after one of the reasons he gave for withholding

12:12 pm
>> trace: fall out over mick mulvaney's comments during a press briefing yesterday afternoon. he said there were three factors in holding up aid to ukraine. all over an investigation helped kiev in the 2016 campaign. >> did he mention the corruption related to the dnc server? absolutely. no question about that. that's it. that's why we held up the money. >> so the demand for an investigation into the democrats was part of the reason that he
12:13 pm
ordered to withhold funding to ukraine? >> look back to what happened in 2016. that was part of the thing that he coreyed about with that nation. >> trace: it wasn't done there. here's mulvaney on an exchange that got a bunch of attention. >> let's be clear what you described is a quid pro quo. funding will not flow unless the investigation to the democratic server happened as well. we do that all the time with foreign policy. we were holding up money at the same time for the northern triangle countries. holding up aid in the northern triangle countries so that they would change their policies on immigration. >> trace: acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney said his comments were taken out of context and president trump said he still has a lot of confidence in mulvaney but the president's personal lawyer, jay sekulow, trying to distance the president's legal team from mulvaney writing that they were
12:14 pm
not involved with the press briefing. joined with me now, chris wallace. mulvaney tried to walk this back and saying "let me be clear, there was absolutely no quid pro quo between ukrainian military and new investigation into the 2016 election. the president never told me to withhold any money until the ukrainians did anything related to the server. the only reason we held the money is because of concern about lack of support from other nations and concerns over corruption." you have to love it when someone uses the taken out of context phrase, chris. in essence when he said is, i know i said there was quid pro quo but i wish you would quit twisting my words. >> that's right. he said it not only once but a couple of times. he talked about it specifically. he said there were three reasons. one is europe wasn't contributing enough. two general corruption issues in ukraine and third, they wanted
12:15 pm
the ukrainians to investigation -- they had been involved in meddling in the 2016 election. he lumped them three runs why they held up the aid. then he was asked by jonathan carl what you just did described is a quid pro quo. he said we do it all the time. he said it. he clearly lumped it in as a reason for holding up the aid. now he's backed off it. you can see how dispressed people are. you have jay sekulow, one of the president's private attorneys saying we had nothing to do with this. we didn't participate in this at all. one of the ways in which mulvaney characterized the request that they investigate the 2016 election is to say this is part of the justice investigation into the whole origins of the trump investigation in 2016. that would have been okay perhaps except for the fact that the justice department, a
12:16 pm
spokesman official there said that's news to us. we never knew anything about any connection between ukrainian aid, military aid being held up in our investigation is. the difference is, the first two things whether europe was contributing, corruption, those are policy issues. holding up aid for policy is okay. but when you hold it up to investigate the political rivals and the democrats were, he did flatly deny there was any connection to investigating biden, but you know, holding up military aid for a political reason is a very different matter. >> trace: so for clarity, when he said we do this all the time, he talked about the triangle countries, the $150 million in aid that they threatened to hold up there if they kept letting the my grants flow through. that's a policy issue, this is not a policy issue. >> right. he was asked when he said we do it all the time, he was asked by jonathan carl about the linking to investigating the 2016
12:17 pm
election issue involved in the ukraine allegedly. >> trace: i want to say politco wrote an article and they said this. i thought it was remarkable because it was either a huge unforced error on behalf of mulvaney or a calculated confession. what are your thoughts about that? >> you know, you never quite know what the strategy is in the white house. sometimes it's unconventional. the president's strategy has been brilliant ever since 2015. when he says something, china, i want you to investigate, maybe he's trying to normalize it. yeah, i did it, i own it. as mulvaney said, get over it. it was the fact that mulvaney walked it back. sekulow walked it back. the justice department distanced itself from it. that makes you think this wasn't a calculated decision a
12:18 pm
strategic move on their part. >> trace: i've been listening to analysts all morning. analysts saying it's a two or three. where do you put it? >> i didn't know there would be math involved. who knows. i don't know that it's a seven or an eight. it's embarrassing for mulvaney. democrats will use it. is this a smoking gun that will make the difference between donald trump is impeach or not in the house? no, i don't. >> trace: the bigger news is chris wallace will be coming here to do this show in the coming weeks. one of if heavy hitters in to do "fox news reporting." nobody could do it better than you and nobody is a heavier hitter than you. i'm happy to do it but you're doing fine. >> trace: they have you walking all over the place in here. they have you on the tables,

12:34 pm
first, is a prosecutor's behavior bad enough to overturn a murder conviction supported by strong ed? that's a question facing three judges in arizona. they're looking at overturning jodi arias' murder trial. she almost decapitated her boyfriend and said her trial was not fair and she wants a new one. she's arguing the prosecutor, juan martinez acting inappropriately inside and outside the courtroom and turned her case into a media circus. the state said there were a few minor circumstances where he acts improperly and not enough for a jury to overturn it. she's spending life behind bars while her appeal is being looked at. mercedes coleman is here. great to see you, by the way. >> great to see you. >> trace: we know juan martinez
12:35 pm
is accused of ignoring rules of evidence, making unfound accusations. >> ignoring the court rulings, which is disruptive. >> trace: any precedence in the arizona supreme court that might lean jodi arias' way here? >> the only time i represented prosecutors in similar circumstances, it's when the defendants have been deprived of due process of a fair trial. she was able to testify. she had lots of information that was given to her. she had every possibility of having a fair trial. so it's only when there's extreme circumstances. like for instance, suppression of evidence. if there is some evidence that exonerated her, none which existed in this trial -- let's be serious. you saw the pictures that she took. it's stomach churning. no, nothing that -- any evidence that we know where a conviction could be overturned. >> it doesn't bode well for her.
12:36 pm
the attorney general in arizona said the prosecutor might have done some stuff that wasn't great. we know juan martinez has a history of getting in some trouble there, but the evidence against her was so overwhelming. the question is, can you take some bad behavior by a prosecutor, some cases you can cite and say this is not a fair trail. >> the only time we've ever seen that really is where there's evidence of exoneration that has been withheld. we've represented prosecutors that have been accused of that. other than that, and here we have pictures that she took pictures of the crime scene, the before after the slaughter. we have to call it a slaughter because it was with the stab wounds and nearly decapitating him. there's so much there. the prevailing sentiment is the jury ruled on this. she took the stand. she testified herself. how can he say i didn't have a fair trial? >> trace: i want to play this
12:37 pm
sound bite after the verdict. >> prior to trial, i respected juan as a very capable attorney. etch though he's done some shady things in my case as far as hiding evidence. failure to disclose certain things hoping it would go away. in the end, it doesn't matter. didn't help my case. >> so clearly as you point out, it's a long shot. is there a scenario where the conviction is upheld and the prosecutor gets punished on the side? >> let's hope so. there's tax dollars here. this appeal will be very costly. the center of it is his misconduct. there's an allegation where there was a juror that made sexual overtures to martinez. he didn't disclose it. he denied it. and then finally he admitted the overture was done and the juror was dismissed. that could lead to a reversal. but it was corrected by the
12:38 pm
trial judge. >> trace: and juan martinez was reprimanded for inappropriate conduct towards female law clerks. not the best. >> not the best. >> trace: so somebody shifty and smart and turn this to jodi arias' way? >> you have to stop this. straighten up. you're jeopardizing any convictions in the office. >> trace: haven't seen a trial like it and not sure we ever will. >> great to see you. >> trace: thanks so much. >> boris johnson racing to gain support for his brexit deal. the u.k. is set to split from the european union less than two weeks from now. the e.u. has unanimously endorsed johnson's deal but getting the british parliament to agree to it is likely going to be a tougher sell. u.k. lawmakers are coming to work tomorrow for the four saturday in four decades for what british media are calling a super sat show down.
12:39 pm
they'll need to approve the deal to avoid a delay or catastrophic no deal brexit to do that, he will have to gain support from politicians outside his party. analysts say the vote will likely come down to the wire. drug company executives closing in on an opioid settlement that could be worth $50 billion. plus, how a 14-year-old science project is helping tackle the country's opioid epidemic. but first, apparently the best way to get a gator out of a swimming pool? you just in and play with him. that's what this man did when a gator went to somebody's pool in parkland, florida. the man who is an animal trapper said he hopped in the water, wrestled with the gator until it got tired around lifted it out of the pool. the gator nearly being nine feet long. weighed nearly 200 pounds.
