to hold a vote not on impeachment but resolution and parameters moving forward. the senate isn't buying it. >> this is not even half, we tried to do this to a democrat, the intel committee, the president's counsel cannot participate and republicans, call witnesses less adam schiff agrees. that is a joke. >> reporter: as for the impeachment related vote that is likely to pass but it is all about the math. we will see what happens tomorrow. heather: the pentagon hopes to release new video from the raid that killed isis leader abu bakr al-baghdadi. the video is believed to be from a drone flying overhead during the operation. the department of defense will hold the senate briefing, that is where senior military

firefighters working to make sure the kincaid fire does not get any bigger. it has grown to 76,000 acres. to give you a better idea how big that is, take a look at the fire's footprint overlaid on a map of new york city. here is how it looks over a map of washington dc and this fire has taken out 186 structures, 86 of them homes. thousands of others to reflect and protecting them will be the main objective today. >> what we do in these firefights during a wind event is literally go house to house and stop it in backyards. perimeter control is not very effective in high winds but structure protection, after we get through the next wind event we will have more clarity. >> reporter: extreme fire danger continues in los angeles where crews are mopping up hotspots to

make sure that smoldering flame does not morph back to life, the moment that fire began early monday morning when high windss blue a branch into a power line, sparking a brush that quickly exploded. the fire has burned 650 acres. electricity still out for 1 million people and frustration is growing, since saturday, searching for places to charge their phones, even to take a shower. pg and the hopes to get everyone back online after this next wind event dies down hopefully later today. and the higher elevations, a lot of people holding their breath hoping firefighters can hold the

that. i practice my faith but i never let my religious beliefs to impose that view on other people. >> the community this past weekend for abortion. 10 minutes after the top of the hour a plane comes crashing out of the sky into a home. the moment it went down was caught on camera. what we know about the investigation into how this happens. republicans say adam schiff shutdown their questions to an army officer who heard the president's ukraine call. what is that about? congressman ralph norman joins us live to take us inside.

>> nancy pelosi needs to have a mistrial. what happens today confirms how poorly adam schiff is handling the process and denying the ability for republicans to ask basic questions. jillian: republicans taking aim at adam schiff accusing him of directing alexander vindman not to answer questions. ralph norman went to that hearing and joins us to weigh in. we appreciate it. take us inside. what we are hearing from republicans afterwords. is that was unfolded in front of you? >> it was kangaroo court. i listened for an hour as adam schiff and other attorneys asked anything they wanted. now republican had any comments.

when it got to the republicans they started objecting to anything the colonel said as far as he was upset about different things and when jim jordan and others said who are you upset with they started objections. adam schiff got up and said we will start deducting any time away from you if you question because mark meadows had a point of water as adam schiff made a comment that was factually wrong. and he is prone to do. he said he wasn't going to acknowledge that he was even there but it was a kangaroo court. shannon: jim jordan wanted to know who vindman shared information with in the conversation between donald trump and the ukrainian president. listen to what he had to say. actually we don't have that but

he was saying what you said, that it was not fair what was happening. >> it really wasn't because adam schiff says we will protect the identity of the whistleblower when no one was asking who the whistleblower was which is a travesty. anybody particularly a charge this serious democrats are trying to make against this president, accusing you of what. it was jim jordan exactly right and adam schiff has no credibility anyway but the way he is conducting this i wish the public could watch what took place yesterday but it was more of the same. the resolution they are proposing is more of the same because adam schiff -- bill: the impeachment inquiry,

what transpires and will that benefit republicans? will it allow voters from both sides of the aisle to the more engaged in what is happening? >> know. adam schiff has veto power over the witnesses that are called, the questioning, he will interrupt everything and claim you shouldn't bring admission into court for the intel committee and i assume jerry nadler, it is unfair for the country and the public, they should have done this before they started. this is not happened during the clinton impeachment. it is not the same thing. >> he will not be allowed subpoena power in the impeachment proceeding. the party was about that.

>> schiff is going to shut that down. he doesn't want to get to the facts. all he wants to do, they have in their mind convicted this president and are trying to find the evidence to do it with. it is wrong for the country. it is soviet style as other members said. i don't think we will lose any republicans on this vote. heather: independent voters agree with you and donald trump supporters are not leaving him as a result of all this. 18 after the top of the hour. hypocrisy on campus reveals when it comes to the death of abu bakr al-baghdadi. >> do you think donald trump

>> welcome back. a plane falls out of the sky and crashes into a home. terrifying video. this video was caught on a doorbell camera in new jersey, slammed into this home sparking a massive fire, flame spreading to 2 other homes. the pilot and the only person on board were killed. he did not make a distress call. the plane was flying from virginia and crash four miles from the airport. the family of a toddler who felt to her death on a cruise ship slamming prosecutors for charging her grandfather. in july, and on a royal caribbean ship docked in puerto rico. the family lawyer says they are

crushed in the negligent homicide charges pouring salt and their wings. he blamed royal caribbean. georgetown students will not give credit to the commander in chief for the takedown of isis leader abu bakr al-baghdadi but they praise obama for bin laden's death. >> does donald trump deserves credit for the killing of the isis leader abu bakr al-baghdadi? >> i guess it happened despite him. >> i will take that as a now. >> someone dying. >> would you say the same about president obama? >> obama handled the news of the killing of bin laden with more grace. >> i think he does. i am a hypocrite. >> joining us to weigh in, and digital reporter, very eye-opening.

this double standard is trump derangement syndrome. instead of being able to look at both scenarios, obama getting bin laden and donald trump getting abu bakr al-baghdadi and say they both get credit we see their hatred for donald trump preventing them looking at the situation objectively and giving any credit and it is a shame. this is something we should come together as a country and celebrate this moment we nabbed this terrorist leader. it is not just on campuses. over the weekend we saw donald trump buddha at the world series, the mainstream media react negatively to the getting of abu bakr al-baghdadi. it is another set moment where hatred for donald trump is extending beyond moments we should come together as a country. heather: one of the most surprising is we should not be celebrating as americans the death of abu bakr al-baghdadi at all. >> some of these students said i

don't know if i want to go on the record celebrity someone's death, should we be taking credit for someone's death? that is insane to me. at the leadership institute campus reform we covered a lot of stories where professors are on the record telling students donald trump isn't like heather, donald trump is a nazi. when students receive that information, they think these insane things about terrorists leaders and it puts it in perspective for us and the viewers how these professors are teaching their students on college campuses. heather: what is being taught by these professors, you think it overwhelmingly, what they are seeing on social media and what they are hearing. >> it is a bit of both. on social media, in the mainstream media and in the classroom and in dorm hall undermine your friends. if you're getting this information in every aspect of

your daily life you are not going to get another viewpoint. your crazy viewpoint, your subjective viewpoint on donald trump are going to be justified, validated if everyone you spend time around degrees the same way. this is just another double standard. we see the liberal double standard because president obama on campuses is seen favorably. we saw that with student responses, they give him credit for getting usama bin laden but trump, i don't think he deserves credit. heather: we appreciate the eye-opening reporting. the time is half past the top of the hour. brand-new numbers show the crisis at the border is far from over. brandon judd says there is one way to fix it but democrats refuse. he joins us live. game 7 astros topping the nationals. jillian was there. >> into deep right. two runs will score the game.

they got it. >> the team has been investing all season. pretty fun. >> didn't plan on seeing a game here. >> they win the game. >> our strikeout ends the inning, number 6 on the night for strasburg. >> it was very -- >> i didn't care if they won or lost. i cared because i was there. i think they are going to win game 7 and i hope they do. if they do i will celebrate. heather: a big game 7 coming up tomorrow night. when you talk to people, no team has won at home so far. we will have this game covered tomorrow night on fox at 8:08:00 pm, something everyone is on the edge of their seat and looking forward to.

heather: house lawmakers hold a hearing on terror and threats to the homeland. christopher ray and homeland security secretary kevin mc howinin. is final day on the job is tomorrow as we learn stunning the numbers about the border crisis. 16,000 criminal illegal immigrants were detained during the fiscal year. 750,000 pounds of drugs in 1700 weapons were seized. mark morgan says this should allow everyone. >> these were numbers no immigration system in the world can handle. not even in this country. the crisis isn't over. the bottom line is congress needs to pass meaningful legislation. heather: the acting commissioner will join "fox and friends" at 8:15 to discuss the new border

numbers. speaking of numbers this is a game changer. the ncaa will allow student-athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness but some lawmakers are already eyeing that money for tax purposes. todd pyro has more on the landmark decision. >> we are both college sports fans. with this decision the ncaa changing its decades long practice with student-athletes about to have the same opportunities to make money as all other students. the ncaa president stating, quote, as a national governing body they are uniquely positioned to modify the to ensure fairness and a level playing field for student-athletes. the board's action creates a path to enhance opportunities for student-athletes while ensuring they compete against students and not professionals.

the move comes after publicized pressure from california which passed a lie earlier this year for bidding schools from punishing their athletes for accepting endorsement money. with other states debating bills, to earn money as well. with news of the ncaa announcement came this was a plan by richard burr to tax scholarships for college athletes who profit off their name and likeness. he tweeted this. of college athletes are going to make money off your likeness in school there scholarships should be treated like income. i will be introducing legislation that subject scholarships given to athletes who choose to cash into income taxes. the ncaa goal is to have rules in place by january 2021 but didn't go into specifics how it would oversee this sweeping change. it is hoping for uniform national law or rule that applied to all members in all states but still far away from that.

>> the first to accept taxes is interesting. >> we will see what happens. >> appreciate it. how about business news was the government cannot fund medicare for all by raising taxes on the rich according to a new watchdog report. $30 trillion will be needed for the program. tracy carrasco with how it could be funded. >> reporter: the bipartisan budget watchdog group, committee for responsible federal budget, the government could go for options when it comes to funding medicare for all.

and by raising taxes on the wealthy. things they found to raise $30 trillion, 32% payroll tax at 25% income surtax and 42% value added tax, these could raise $30 trillion. they would also need to cut, cutting the troop numbers. combining these options, nonetheless still a lot to work out in order to fund these programs funding medicare for all. heather: talking baseball, late night as we said. jillian is covering it. the national's trade turner stolen bacon so everyone gets a free taco. >> in the first inning trade

text messages to her boyfriend earlier this year. while these actions are immoral, are they criminal? here to debate, david bruno. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. let's begin. tell us about the differences between these cases and is this criminal? >> based on the press conference we don't know. this is a long way from being litigated and who knows if this one will come back from south korea. based on the press conference if she accepts the da's word it looks to be on its face a stronger case than the michelle carter case because unlike michelle carter she was physically present at the time this young man jumped off the roof a parking garage. first these messages if you look at what is in massachusetts law assuming the case doesn't get

reversed by the supreme court, the michelle carter case, this could be and probably is a stronger case. heather: you were saying a key difference between the two cases as well. >> yes, this defendant was on scene. the prosecutor said she stocked him and went to the scene but yesterday a boston press release said the defendant in a statement said she was trying to stop him. it is an interesting development if true. it could go to the heart of the defense. also this particular state does not have an assisted suicide statute. they are using a general -- i have a problem using the statute because what it requires is reckless activity that causes the death. when you talk about causation

there is another person active here. not like she held a gun, squeezed the trigger, was behind the wheel intoxicated or assisted in death through iv. there was no action that caused this death. heather: are her verbal words enough action? the last two month of the relationship out of 75,000 text messages between the two she said a total of 47,000 of those text messages. as you continue i want to bring this up because you were talking about it, state laws banning student encouragement, 5 different states and these, the differences between the cases. >> we have to keep an open mind. there is no cross-examination,

no defense attorney standing up, 35,000 text messages, 60% her, 40% him but a lot of text messages coming from him as well. keep an open mind about those text messages. >> on the fact as before which is 1-sided, i am normally for holding prosecutors to a higher standard always but in this case if it is similar to the texts in michelle carter's case this is a potentially stronger case because of the fact that she is there when he committed suicide and if you look at the way they frame the case you are better off if you die, these are not the kind of facts you want to herald free-speech on. no constitutional right is unlimited and in this case it is similar to the michelle carter case. heather: when does free-speech become criminal?

>> the michelle carter case went to the massachusetts supreme court, and said that it can be. however that decision has been appealed to the supreme court and there's an opportunity for the united states supreme court to jump in here and face cannot be. heather: michelle carter served eight month and was denied early parole in september 2019 so we will see what happens. have to cut you off, much to be debated and we will see what happens. we will be right back.
