rob: jillian is there. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ i bet my life ♪ i bet my life. steve: live from new york city it is wednesday, 6:00 a.m. thank you very much. you are on the mezzanine level of studio f as in "fox & friends first." carley: we have contains contains dr. michael baden was hired by jeffrey epstein's family to look at the autopsy and he's going to be here with that report. brian: it was ruled a suicide. the question is that beyond a shadow of a doubt. he might be looking to push back on that. at least he is going to share what he found. steve: right. you know, because what dr. baden is going to say flies in the face of the official report. he is an expert after the it. you are not going to want to miss it. come up in 90 minutes. right now our lead story

politics. brian: and impeachment. house democrats outline the next step in impeachment inquiry into president trump. steve: speaker nancy pelosi said yesterday the house will vote on the issue, the resolution tomorrow. ainsley: griff jenkins is live in washington as republicans accuse a house lawmaker of coaching a witness. griff? griff: yeah, good morning ainsley, brian and steve. house republicans are furious blocking vinman from answering their questions. >> we tried to ask the witness certain questions and mr. schiff would not let him answer. >> adam schiff trying to run a one sided soviet style process we have never seen before. griff: that move won't slow down democrats. listen. >> this is about the united states constitution. this is about the rule of law. this is about national security. this is about abuse of power. this is about the fact that the president betrayed his oath of office and the american people. griff: , this guys, as

democrats put forth the text of an 8-page resolution yesterday laying out the next steps in the impeachment inquiry including public hearings and to vote to approve the procedures. the white house is fighting back saying it does little to provide basic due process issuing this statement the resolution put forward by speaker pelosi confirms that house democrats' impeachment has been illegitimate sham from the start as it lacks any proper authorization by a house vote. it's worth noting here that tomorrow's vote is not a vote on whether or not to impeach the president as republicans have been demanding from the start. but, rather, this is a vote to it will approve the process of the next phase of the impeachment inquiry. it's expected to pass. watch how the 30 democrats in districts trump won vote. that could be telling. there is two more witnesses by the way, guys, ukraine expert from the state department expected to testify later today. brian: going to be interesting, griff. because you still can say i voted for it but not for impeachment. i voted to move forward on the process. steve: it's a proxy vote. brian: this is a vote that

is not quite a vote. they still have an out. able to couch tangled say they didn't vote for impeachment political peril. griff: true. note, this is the first time they will be on record as they have indicated this is perhaps a slow march but it is still a march towards an end goal of impeachment and he this will be on the record this time. steve: all right. griff, thank you very much. in the second congressional district of new jersey, a democrat, a congressman by the name of jeff van drew yesterday broke with the rest of the party. he said he has not seen anything impeachable yet and doesn't think he will vote for it. he narrowly won that congressional district and he has been openly critical of the impeachment process. but, nonetheless, you know, the resolution by mr. mcgovern, congressman that's going to be voted on tomorrow, keep in mind, the democrats are saying look, they wanted to open everything? he would are going to open everything up. the republicans will be able to invite witnesses but only after the democrats vote

that they will allow it. and that's not going to happen. ainsley: exactly. so republicans have said let's take a vote so we can open this up and we can call our own witnesses. we will be able to ask questions. you open the fine print and says democrats will still have to take a vote to allow republicans to do that. brian: president said listen behind closed doors i appreciate you fighting against the process. also fight against the substance. i didn't do anything wrong here. congressman jim jordan personifies the word fight. he was hopping mad yesterday. watch. >> chairman schiff has prevented the witness from answering certain questions we have during the deposition. one thing you do in these depositions is you ask the basics, who, what, when, where, why. you ask the questions. when we asked the whistleblower who he spoke to after important events in july, adam schiff says no, no, no, we are not going to let him ask this question. even though at the start of every one of these depositions you all know.

this at the start of every one he said this is not classified. he tells us that. the witness has their counsel there, their lawyer there, they don't need adam schiff being chairman and lawyer. but that's in effect what happened today. >> steve: now, isn't that interesting he? referred to the whistleblower. and he was talking about lieutenant colonel alexander vinman, we believe, who testified yesterday parentally he was actually on the call that the president was on. he was so upset that he felt the president went over-the-line and that's why he routerred to his superiors what happened. he refreshed on this is the news this morning. apparently what he said yesterday was that the official transcript is different than what he remembered. he remembers president zelensky mentioning burisma at one point. and he also remembers the president mentioning how joe biden was on tape talking about how he held up a billion dollars in loan guarantees which famously the president has referred to many, many times.

apparently an official said the differences between the transcript and his recollection not all that significant. ainsley: he said he was concerned about the phone call. he complained to someone that he worked with a general council he worked with newt gingrich said -- this is interesting. the vote is on october 31st, halloween. newt gingrich says that the timing is interesting. listen. >> i thought it was very appropriate that she was bringing it up on halloween because i think frankly it's a joke. and i think that schiff probably ought to come on the floor as a scarecrow you will remember in the wizard of oz the scarecrow has no brain and it is halloween. the fact is that they are not doing anything that's serious. they are not giving the president real access for his lawyers. they are not allowing the republicans to have real parody. part of the deal ought to be make available to the republicans and to the white house every single memo, every email, every interview that they have undertaken in secret.

brian: there is, of course now even put it into prime time all these hearings when they actually come out. it's going to be a prime time in which almost like the wwe where the outcome is already preconceived because republicans can't call their witnesses we mentioned. they are going to have a lot of their cross-examination is going to be tempered. and it looks like "the washington post" is reporting the next three people that they would like to see, front and center, adam schiff, mic mulvaney's assistant robert blair, white house to the white house chief of staff and brian mccormick, the former chief of staff to rick perry, because they are not able to get the main players because the president said i don't want you going forward and they are going to work their way through the courts whether they have to go forward or not. steve: right. what's interesting is the reason everything is closed right now is because adam schiff has said, you know, we don't want the witnesses to be able to coordinate their testimony, right? we have heard him say that but, given the fact that every one of these witnesses, so much of their testimony leaks out and it's cherry picked.

then the next witness who comes in they can actually coordinate through the questions what they ask that person. so, it will be interesting to see if anything changes in the way they do it, aside from this vote. keep in mind, the whole idea of the vote is because nancy pelosi has had a number of super progressive people in her caucus right now who say unless you have a vote on impeachment, we'll primary you and we will get rid of your leadership team. she doesn't want that. she wants the gavel for another two years and so that is what is -- it's more about her, you know, longevity than it is about the process. brian: maybe. receive steve oh, 100 percent. brian: no way to think nancy pelosi will be vulnerable in her district. steve: her leadership. if 30 members of her caucus lose their elections, she is out of a job. she fought too hard to get that job. she wants to keep it. she is willing to put the nation through impeachment.

ainsley: that's why she says this is not an impeachment. it is an inquiry. steve: it is right now. brian: that's why the president is saying going go after the substance. there is nothing there. brian: joke people think if you have questions to lieutenant general war fighter not patriotic or don't like the military which is the blow back getting from our show and others. i think that's farcical. there is no doubt about it. this lieutenant colonel was born in ukraine. he came here. reportedly the ukrainian government reached out to him about rudy giuliani working as envoy for the president. and to think that maybe he was going to come forward with an additional point of view and can't be challenged because he served in the military, it doesn't make any sense to me. ainsley: all right. >> so, well look at general flynn, 33 years as a veteran. brian: they have no problem ridiculing what he did as a lieutenant general. meanwhile, joe biden yesterday came out and thought it would be a great time to criticize the president for what he did over the weekend and that was give an order to take

out the world's most wanted man. look at how he breaks down what the president did wrong in trumpeting that victory. >> whether it's baghdady or bin laden it takes month and month and months of detailed planning. pulled off in spite of his actions. the military is incredible. they have done just a phenomenon job. i have great faith in them. my lord the president should stay in his lane and listen to the military and not get off on these rants he goes on about why he is going to pull everybody. that's like putting up a 500-foot banter, a recruiting banter for isis. i mean, he just doesn't seem to understand anything about foreign policy. brian: what is he talking about. ainsley: refuses to give the president credit. refuses to answer the question which asked about the priest in south carolina refusing him communion. steve: that was a personal

issue. keep in mind, it was joe biden who said to barack obama don't do the bin laden raid where we got bin laden. and, for him to talk about stay in his lane, it was the former secretary of defense, mr. gates, who said that joe biden has been wrong about every foreign policy issue over the last, what 30 or 40 years? stay in your lane. brian: the president probably said joe you, you don't want us to do it let's do. let's go with the opposite. carley shimkus, how are you? carley: going to start things off with a fox news alert. a massive manhunt underway right now after a deadly shooting at a halloween party in california. three people are dead. final others are hurt. long beach police say at least one person opened fire inside the home, they haven't said how many suspects they are looking for or any details on a motive. a plane falls out of the sky and crashes into a home. just look at that right there. terrifying video showing the small jet nose diving caught

have been impacted by the blackouts put in place in an attempt to prevent wildfires, right? many are blaming the utility company pg&e. our next guest says politicians in the state deserve. so blame, if not most. chuck devore is a former california assemblyman who left the state to move to texas. he joins us now. what do you think politicians could have done to prevent something like this which sadly has been commonplace in california for hundreds of years? this was one of the most preventible tragedies in human history. governor newsom loves to blame capitalism and global warming and utilities like pg&e. we have seen this coming for a long time. we have half the people in california today that used to work in the logging industry because environmentalists and political enablers have shut down the timber industry in california. and when you don't log the timber, eventually it's got to burn. and in the case of pg&e, five years ago they asked for a little over

$4.8 billion to upgrade their lines. it was denied. they made a little less than half of that. and the reason why is the politicians and the regulators were afraid that the rate payers would revolt. and the reason why the electrical costs are getting so expensive in california is they have a lot of wind and solar power. and they have been investing in that but not in maintaining and improving their power lines. brian: stanford university says we are having to adapt to new circumstances brought on by climate change. you don't see it that way? >> well, look. i don't see it that way at all. because 13 years ago the western governor's association predicted exactly what we are seeing now. in their biomass report. what we have seen in california is because of the decline in the timber industry. we don't clean up the forest any more. by the way, president trump was right about this last year when he criticized california for not properly maintaining their forests. let assume that the

professor was right and that this is being driven by climate change, what would you do to fix it? oh, well, you would do more forest management. exactly the things that have been prevented by first governor jerry brown and now governor newsom. to his credit has been better on the issue than governor brown on the issue. too little, too late. more wildfires in california for the next 10 years along with blackouts. brian: will it be chuck devore in the wilderness of texas to sound out or will pg&e step up and defend themselves and say what you are saying? real quick, final thoughts. >> the challenge is pg&e is under the gun right now and they are the most heavily regulated company in america. they don't dare say anything. brian: guess not. he did compliment the trump administration while criticizing pg&e. it's a shame you're blaming this in the middle of it two more risk fires. it's not the time to blame anyway.

chuck devore, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: straight ahead, the story is horrific and very familiar. you have a college student to commits suicide. now his girlfriend is charged. >> geraldo: texts encouraging him to go die. are texts really criminal? we will debate it. i'm happy to give you the tour, i love doing it.

himself in the months leading to his suicide. should she be convicted of murder? here to debate keisha and jeaninealityman. thank you for being with us. >> you are welcome. ainsley: what do you think? hateful? yes. some of these text messages were really bad. but is it illegal? should she be charged with involuntary manslaughter? >> definitely. i think she will be convicted of involuntary manslaughter because the definition of involuntary manslaughter is someone's actions are reckless and wanton to the point that they cause someone's death. and in this case she knew that this man was emotionally and psychologically fragile as a result of her abuse. she sent him over 47,000 text messages within a period of two months telling him to kill himself and telling him how he will do everyone a favor if he kills himself. and she was there when he jumped to his death. so i believe she knew what she was doing and her behavior was the cause of him actually jumping to his

death and committing suicide. ainsley: jeanine, what do you think. >> i disagree. i think you can only have this action come up in massachusetts because they have archaic involuntary manslaughter law that comes from common law. and massachusetts is one of 10 states that does not have any law that prohibits from you encouraging or assisting somebody with suicide. because they don't have that law, her statements to him text messages are protected under the first amendment. and so, therefore, she should not be facing these charges. ainsley: kisha, what about when she went on top of the garage, he jumped to his death 90 minutes before his graduation at boston college. she was there with him. what if she says i was there to discourage him from doing it? >> the fact of the matter is they have the text messages showing that she previously told him to kill himself. then the fact that she was there and did nothing to call 911 or to try to stop him. and in terms of massachusetts, there was a 2014 case with michelle, i believe carter was her last name. she was actually convicted

of involuntary manslaughter and she only text messaged her boyfriend telling him to kill himself. this you woman, she was there and she was verbally and emotionally abusive, so i think this case is even more egregious. ainsley: jeanine, how will that case, the michelle carter case, she is serving 18 months behind bars, how will that influence this. >> basically the blueprint for the prosecutor in this case. remember, michelle carter has petitioned the supreme court to look to see if her first amendment rights were violated. in the last case with michelle carter they basically said that they weren't looking at the content of her words but rather they were saying that the wanton and recklessness of her words became a verbal conduct which is a lot easier to regulate than it would be for her first amendment rights. ainsley: okay. we will be following this case. i know she is in south korea so her attorneys or the prosecutors are saying they feel like they will be able to extradite her back to the u.s. for this trial. we will see. thank you so much, ladies. >> you are welcome. >> thank you. ainsley: next on the rundown, going off the grid

we are still waiting for the howling winds to materialize. they haven't yet. we have been told that the winds are expected to pick up between now and sunrise. so the next four hours or so will be critical for firefighters working to hold the line and make sure this fire does not get any bigger. a week after it started. the kincade fire has grown to 76,000 acres. and amid today's wind protecting homes will be the top priority today. >> what we tend to do in these fire fights during the wind event is literally go house to house and stop it in backyards. roll up hoses, go to the next house and stop it. perimeter control is not very effective in high winds. however, structure defense is. >> extreme fire danger continues in los angeles as well. that's where crews on the 650-acre getty fire are working to make sure that smoldering blaze does not roar back to life. surveillance video shows the moment that fire started

early monday when high winds blew a branch into a power line ignited near brush. back here in northern california, electricity still out for more than a million people. many have to search for places to charge their phones 57bgsd buy food and other splice. but pg&e is now actually cans links another planned outage for some bay area counties saying the weather looks to be better than expected. and, in fact, so far, winds are calm both here and in southern california. a lot of people holding their breath and hoping things stay this way. ainsley, steve, brian, back to you. steve: all right, claudia, thank you very much. at one point yesterday the winds were 80 miles per hour. that's is what spreads the wildfires makes them wilder. ainsley: and we had michael loftus on yesterday who lives on the other side of the highway. felt sorry for his friends who live on the other side. brian: claudia cowan knows how lifside.

brian: brian tomi lahren joins us. >> luckily i'm not in an area affected by the fires. los angeles is a very big place and feel for our neighbors who aren't too far from us who are feeling the fires. reminder what our first responders and firefighters do on a daily basis is definitely not easy and our heart go out to them and thank you for all those fighting these fires. steve: 100 percent. tomi, dave chapelle the famous comedian accepting the mark twain award on sunday night. it's going to be broadcast on -- in january. everybody will see it. but he was talking a little bit about the free speech. don't hate on a man it's not that serious. the first amendment is first for a reason. second amendment is just in case the first one doesn't work out. ainsley: is he talking about cancel culture. have you heard of cancel culture? >> i've been a victim of

cancel culture. i think all conservatives to some extent are aware of cancel culture and censor shop. nice to hear icon for those on the left or right. rights are under assault. i'm glad he mentioned the second amendment. something a lot of stars are hesitant to do. great to see someone with that kind of a platform speak out. brian: i always thought comedians have the best courage. go out on the stage by themselves and try to get comedy across. if you want to really muzzle somebody in comedy, tell them you can't say this and you can't say that because someone is going to be offended and you need a super star like dave chapelle to leave th to lead the charges. comedians push back and maybe reaffirm free speech. it's counter intuitive but it might be the case. president obama also stepped up and said wake up, society. and should i say woke up society.

>> this idea you are always woke you should get over that quickly. the world is messy. there are ambiguities. people who do really good stuff have flaws. steve: the world is messy. >> he's right. >> what's really nice to hear is barack obama standing up for our rights and our values of the first amendment. just remember we used to think barack obama was bad. look at the democrats we have now. we just had in the last debate kamala harris and elizabeth warren arguing over the fact that donald trump should be kicked off twitter because his comments are offer. so that's where the democratic party is now. i mean, president barack obama is looking like the voice of reason. that's when you know the democratic party has gotten this bad. steve: meanwhile, you went back to college, university of las vegas for your show on fox nation called no interruption. take a look at this. eye. >> how many of you in this group have been labeled a nazi, a bigot, a racist, for

being a conservative for supporting donald trump. raise your hand. >> the left seems to have this almost monolithic view of the right as being one voting block. all votes the same. they all think the same. and i think that [inaudible] almost think that the right have that same view and that it's just the complete opposite of everything that they stand for. steve: tomi, how much has your school changed since you were there? >> oh, it has certainly changed because now we are in the era of donald trump. speaking of censor shop and cancel culture. it's worse at college campuses where conservatives experience cancel culture on a daily basis. gotten to pint where conservatives on college campuses are really atrade to stand up for themselves and afraid to stlos conservative values. that's why we see so many people leaving college as liberals. i don't think they are actually ideologically liberal. they have been silence sod long they have given up.

that's why i want to encourage college students to stand up for themselves and their values no matter what they're. ainsley: we are going to see you at the patriot awards next week november 6th. we look forward to that thank you so much, tomi. >> thank you, guys. brian: all right. >> that's going to be great. we are going to stream it live. go to your app. store, download fox nation and then be ready for action. ainsley: buy tickets in florida. brian: sold out. ainsley: really? sold out? watch it on fox nation. steve: 20 minutes before the top of the hour. ainsley: brian sold the last ticket. carley: that's all right. you can watch it on fox nation. i will be tuning in. a fox news alert. more bad news for jewel a stunnin -- juul.stunning lawsui. juul sold about 1 million tainted pods and didn't tell anyone. the executive says he was fired when he tried to blow the whistle. the claim comes the same day

forecast certainly. we will certainly bring you the very latest as this storm moves eastward. the headlines today extreme wildfire danger for california today. winds will relax and then we get that winter storm across the midwest. eventually a wet day tomorrow for trick-or-treaters. ainsley: if you dress like janice dean for halloween and expecting rain, you can wear a rain coat. janice: you could. brian: i'm getting reports that janice dean costume out. like the patriot awards. steve: tomorrow we are all going to be dressed up tomorrow for halloween. brian: i will not be. i'm anti-halloween. steve: we will see about that. ainsley: party pooper. brian: i don't like halloween.

carolina saying mr. vice president, you are for abortion rights which the catholic church is against? because catholics feel the church doctrine teaches us that abortion ends a life. >> right, which it does. and the left is finally admitting that by the way and still braisingly add i have indicating abortion. i'm not catholic but catholic church has been stall war on terror. biden is the worst kind of demagogue. he will say whatever he needs to say. he will switch his position like a cameleon if it will help him. he was formerly against the hide amendment. against the federal funding of abortion. then he swiciousd it saying it has disproportionate impact on minorities. the truth is abortion has disproportionate impact on minorities. they are killed. he says i won't impose my beliefs on 60348 people. how about the 60 million babies to be murdered in the womb. sorry to be graphic but it's a fact. steve: indeed. we will see if he is asked about that going forward.

we will find out how many priests deny him communion. i seem to remember back in 2008, i think he was denied -- he was told he would not be allowed communion in scranton, pennsylvania, his hometown. >> it won't hurt him politically unless it stirs the souls of some people. it probably won't it. will just embolden the base. steve: let's talk about your brand new book "guilty by reason of instan at this." what's it about. >> it's a comprehensive indictment of the american left and states what will happen if the democrats retain control or regain control of a major branches of government in the 2020 election and what that means. they have a completely different vision for america. they are against free enterprise. they are totally pro-abortion. they are open borders. they are outright socialists now. what that would mean. it would mean that we would lose the american dream it. would mean that our kids and their kids would not live in the kind of liberty and prosperous nation that we were bequeath by our

parents. steve: what is your biggest worry about the future if, say, joe biden, elizabeth warren, or bernie sanders were elected? >> well, the culture is insane -- the leftist ideas in the culture don't even treat biological gender as a fact now. anybody can identify whoever they want to. it's a panoply of issues. i go into all of them indepth. i can't single out or prioritize. if you take abortion alone how crazy they are. they are willing to abort people, babies up to the moment of birth and after even. they are full blown socialists which will destroy growth, economic growth and prosperity and ultimately lead to political tyranny in this country. there are so many issues. open borders, we will lose our national sovereignty. we will lose the unique american culture. i could go on -- i can go every issue. race exploiters. steve: it's all right here. check it out. brand new book guilty by reason of insanity. david limbaugh. thank you so much.

pretty incredible when you think about that. start you off bottom of the first alex solo home run 2-1 houston. carried the bat all the way to first base. people not loving that later apologized. go to the fifth. lasts one to right field. ties it up at 2 apiece. you will see it right here. top of the seventh there was a little bit of drama. martinez ejected over a controversial call for interference at first base. you can see that right there playing on the field. shortly after that anthony homer. that puts the nats up 5-2 and they pretty much took it away from there steven strasburg got to tell you going 8 and a third innings. first post season start that he has won. he had a lights out performance last night. pretty incredible game from him. as can you imagine fans from both sides looking forward to the big game tonight. take a look at this. >> we're going to take it back tomorrow. do you know what? we are in the bolder series. it's not easy to go to the world series two out of three years. astros will win this thing. jillian: all right.

>> in game seven we are going to do it in game seven. >> we got it, baby. we got it. don't worry about it. >> it's not over! >> got to win in houston. >> it was so relieving to have stratustraus go that far. once eton hit the homer to tie the game i felt it was going to go our way. >> straus always performs in big games. >> i felt it was worth it to make the trip. seeing them win is pretty awesome. >> i didn't really care if they won or loss. i cared because i was there. jillian: do you think they are going to win game seven and win the world series? >> yes. >> go astros we are going to win it tomorrow. as astros we are coming back.

♪ steve: all right. it's wednesday, october 30th. tomorrow is halloween. welcome aboard, folks. it's kind of a rainy day. a little damp outside. ainsley: it's not going to stop halloween. the kids are still excited. brian: getting reports now it's confirmed dr. michael baden at the bottom of the hour he did autopsy on jeffrey epstein at the quch the family. people say it's a suicide. let's clean up this mess. maybe not. he have exclusive report tell us first right here

right here. steve: he observed the autopsy. what he is going to tell you will be breaking news 30 minutes from right now. brian: we don't know what he is going to say. steve: we have a really good idea. brian: don't know exactly. steve: it's right there. brian: no. we think we might know. steve: i'm pretty sure he is going to say that anyway, that's coming up in half an hour dr. michael baden. in the meantime. let's talk a little bit about what's going on down in washington. the white house is call the democrats' impeachment resolution a illegitimate sham. ainsley: the house is expected to vote on this measure on halloween tomorrow. brian: it's not really an impeachment vote. kevin corke is live at the white house where the administration says the president is being denied due process. kevin, does the president have a point? >> gengsdz on what the definition of is famously said before. let me share both sides of the argument. take you first to capitol hill. democrats argue, brian, and steve and ainsley, that the fact is we're doing more

than technically we have to do. we are at least giving you something. because, by letter of the law, we needn't give you a thing. we can keep operating the way we have been. let's also be honest about this there is a political calculus here for the democrats. let me share part of the house impeachment resolution. the house authorizes the committee on the judiciary to conduct proceedings related to the impeachment inquiry. the committee on the judiciary shall report to the house of representatives such resolutions. articles of impeachment or other recommendations as it deems proper. the permanent select committee on intelligence is authorized to conduct proceedings pursuant to this resolution. that is washington speak for pretty much same as it ever was. it's exactly as it has been. with some slight modifications to allow the g.o.p. to question those who may be questioned by the permanent select committee on intelligence. let me share the statement from the white house press secretary. it says this. the resolution put forward by speaker pelosi confirms that house democrats

impeachment has been an illegitimate sham from the start. as it lacks any proper authorization by a house vote. it continues, thi this scam by allowing chairman schiff who lies to the american people, to hold a new round of hearings still without any due process for the president. that much is also true. there is no exact process for the president to do or to have the same things that we saw previous presidents that have faced impeachment in the house have like the ability to question everyone who comes before the other committees. that said, this is a start. and i have been told by a source on capitol hill don't make more out of this than you ought meaning they could modify it as we move along. but there is certainly reason, i think it's fair to say, for the white house and the president to be very disappointed. and we have seen house republicans, by the way, also express as much, guys. brian: kevin, quick question for you. they at transferring the evidence to judiciary.

does it mean it's no longer in adam schiff's show? >> two people are talking at the same time. say that again? brian: does it mean that it's no longer adam schiff's show? >> >> no it definitely does not mean that what it does, brian, moves it over just a bit meaning what you get, guys, if you move to to judiciary, they get a fresh look at this. keep in mind the intel community has been handling much of this. usually this is taken through the judiciary committee. something that house democrats have moved away from. it takes it back to where it started at the very beginning with nadler and then they are going to continue to unpack this. steve: right. >> i should also point this out, this is super important. intel committee will still get a fresh look at new witnesses, new material. steve: right. >> still hoping for the mueller grand jury material to come their way. this is not ending any time soon. and i think it's also fair to say, guys, they are going to get their impeachment one way or the other unless something dramatic happens.

steve: pelosi wants that vote. brian: kevin corke, thanks. wear the american public out in the process. steve: oh, we are worn out. ainsley: right. brian: they quickly wanted to get this done for thanksgiving. if they are going to wait for the underlying documents from the mueller report, this is going to go right through, president trump will be out of his second term by the time they are done. steve: right. as the judge yesterday put the stopper on that. the way it's -- brian: stopper on what? steve: on the mueller report grand jury stuff. kevin was right. usually this goes through judiciary. nancy pelosi wants adam schiff to be running the show intel will write the report and again give it to judiciary. what's interesting and kevin kind of touched on this. republican also have subpoena power and they would actually be able to subpoena adam schiff so doug collins of georgia would be able to subpoena adam schiff hey what happened behind

closed doors. ainsley: once they pass this resolution. once they take the vote, then judiciary is out of it and so is oversight. they won't be able to participate anymore. so then it stays with -- stays in the house intel which is with adam schiff. that's what nancy wants. but then i was reading if republicans want to subpoena someone, they want a testimony. steve: they have to have a vote and democrats have the majority. brian: so you can request adam schiff all you want and they will never allow it. republicans can request everybody and reject every single one of them steve steve that makes the point not very transparent at all, is it. listen to the republicans yesterday calling out adam schiff? >> chairman schiff has prevented the witness from answering certain questions we have. >> this has been a tainted process from the start. what happened today confirms even worse just how poorly adam schiff is handling this process and denying the ability for republicans to even ask basic questions.

heads are exploding behind closed doors right now preventing time after time after time, question after question after question after question to allow republicans to be able to ask the questions. because god forbid we might stumbling upon the other 99% of this story. this resolution should go down in flames. steve: big question is will it? there are a number of democrats who probably are thinking i wonder if i should vote for that or not. democrat from new jersey, in the second congressional district, jeff van drew said yesterday he has not seen anything impeachable yet. doesn't think he will vote for it. tom brokaw i was reading this morning in the news packet said that right now at this point the democrats do not have the goods on donald trump for impeachment. brian: looks like donald trump being donald trump in this area of the foreign policy just like he is in the economy and everything else, they need 216 to pass. they have 233 democrats out of the 433.

most likely there. meanwhile congressman devin nunes says i have seen this script before. adam schiff, who famously flew and tried to work with michael cohen to make sure his testimony was impactful right after the democrats won the house, he sees schiff doing the same thing with all the witnesses going behind closed doors in the unclassified setting. watch. >> i have never, in my life, seen anything like what happened today. i mean, they have been bad at most of these depositions. but to interrupt us continually to coach the witness, to decide whether or not what we're going to be able to ask the witness, and we don't even get any witnesses at this point, and it doesn't look like we're going to get any ever, but to not let us ask questions, i have never ever had that. and to see someone coach a witness, you know, this isn't the first time. schiff is very good at coaching witnesses, remember. he also met with the whistleblower. so this is just

unprecedented. steve: it is believed, he is referring to lieutenant colonel alexander vinman who testified yesterday in his uniform and what he said was he was on the phone call and the things -- there he is right there, the things that the president said he felt were over the line. so he reported them. and what he remembers is he remembers what was said in the phone call transcript. he remembers how the ukrainian president mentioned burisma that was not in the transcript per se and also how the president mentioned joe biden bragging on tape about how he held up a billion dollars in loan guarantees. so he said, you know, you really have to make these changes and the white house did not do it. officials there said that his recollections not all that significant regarding the changes. ainsley: he said he was concerned and went to legal counsel to complain about it. congressman jim jordan was just trying to ask him a question. we wanted to know who did you speak to after you had

that conversation and then adam schiff jumps in no, no, no, no, no. don't answer that don't answer that. brian: how much does this have to do with i don't agree with the president's foreign policy and how much does this have to do with i don't think this is the way our foreign policy should be conducted and there is a breach of ethics. coming up a little bit later we will ask kevin mccarthy what's at stake for the minority. talk about how the white house is also messaging perhaps better and how the president of the united states says i appreciate you going after the process, but on the substance, i'm innocent. i would appreciate if you push back on the substance of my ukrainian policy. steve: it does appear it all has to do -- a lot of it has to do with nancy pelosi retaining her speakership in the next congress. she would like that. and so she is going to put it to a vote because that's what her political left really wants. ainsley: carley shimkus has headlines for us. carley: details of this story are stunning. a convicted rapist and child molester who was mistakenly release from prison is in

the country illegally. georgia state records shows tony munoz mendez is originally from guatemala. is he serving three life sentences when he was accidently let out last week. u.s. marshals still don't know where he is. prison officials are investigating how that massive mistake happened. al nurse is facing murder charges accused of helping a man end his own life. police arresting chrissy at her arizona home after finding her friend's body at a hotel in california. she is accused of injecting the man with a lethal dose of drugs following a breakup. keep lynn pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. she could face 25 years in prison. the sentence for decorated navy seal eddie gallagher is upheld by the military. the u.s. chief of naval operations denying his request for clemency months after gallagher was convicted of pofsing with an isis fighter's body. the ruling resulted new a

ever extreme red flag warning. steve: very strong winds. some yesterday up to 80 miles per hour. now threatening new power outages in the northern portion of the state. ainsley: we're so worried about the families there we have live team coverage on these fires this morning. we have meteorologist janice dean, she is live here in the studio tracking all the conditions. but, first, we're going to go to senior correspondent claudia cowan she is live actually out there in california in santa rosa. hey, claudia. >> well, good morning once again. you know, here at the command center and really up and down the state, people are waiting and wondering if the forecast calling for another wind storm will prove to be true. the winds have not really kicked up yet. but expected gusts of 60, maybe 70 miles per hour will be a challenge for firefighters working to contain the line and preventing hot embers from flying, sparking new fires. extreme fire conditions continue as well in southern california down near los angeles. that's where crews on the

650-acre getty fire are mopping up hot spots and making sure that smoldering does not roar back to life. surveillance video shows the moment that fire started early monday morning when santa ana winds blew a branch into a power line. >> this was simply put, parlance an act of government the wind broke off a tree branch, threw that tree branch because of these strong winds far enough to cause a spark off a line. >> utility companies have been turning off the power specifically to prevent these kind of fires. in northern california all the forest blackouts have people really fed up. many businesses without generators have had to close, creating hardships across the board. >> this was simply put, in plain parlance an act of god. the wind broke off a tree branch, threw that tree bank, because of these strong winds, far enough to cause a spark off a line still intact there but you

can see a little bit of the damage on it. most likely caused those sparks to fall and begin this fire and then we are off to the races. >> that was l.a. mayor eric garcetti. we are expecting to hear from one of the pg&e customers really frustrating saying they are losing business because they are having to close without power. this is a safety issue as well because. so cell phone towers are out and many residents worry they won't get that text message that they would get if they need to evacuate, if this fire spreads. meantime, hundreds of thousands of people remain evacuated. ainsley, brian, steve, back to you. steve: claudia, thank you very much. brian: amazing how many people pitch in california, the gap or serious all these places in times like this offer incredible discounts for people who lose everything. janice: it's unbelievable. fortunately, this is the last day but this is also the most dangerous day where

we think those santa ana winds are going to be ferocious and to all the firefighters who go out there and go towards danger and to help all of the residents, of course, our prayers and our hearts are out to them. winds right now in oxnard, east northeast 21 miles per hour. we have offshore flow, santa ana winds, high pressure anchored there. the winds go through the valleys and canyons, they heat up, they travel very fast. they come every year. but the conditions right now are ripe for wildfire danger and the spreading of wildfires and part of the reason is it is extraordinarily dry. we have got very low humidity, especially this afternoon. below 10% for all of these areas across northern, central, and southern california. you can see the wind gusts later on today. in some cases gusting over 50 miles per hour. 70 miles per hour. not out of question. and then southern california is going to start to calm down as we get in to tomorrow. today really today is the

most extraordinary day for fire danger and the spreading of wildfires. red flag warning, extreme red flag warning for all of these areas shaded in red for california. and no rain, unfortunately, in the forecast. all of that rain is across the east coast and we would love to donate that to southern california. we will continue to monitor the situation. better day tomorrow we have to get through today. steve: going to be a long one. j rd, thank you. brian: 9 minutes before the bottom of the hour. much more until the top of the hour. still ahead house minority leader kevin mccarthy live. there is a picture of him. steve: what really happened in that jail cell to jeffrey epstein. his family hired dr. michael baden to find out. this morning dr. baden will reveal what he found out in his first tv interview that will make news. ♪

steve steve as house democrats push forward with impeachment some say they have found their star witness in white house staffer army lieutenant colonel alexander vinman. how we heard this all before? >> it feels today as if the walls are really closing in on this president. >> the walls are closing in on him. >> the walls are closing in on donald trump. >> the president is always on the attack. especially when the walls are closing in. >> the walls are closing in on the president. steve: okay. so you get that joining us right now is house minority leader kevin mccarthy. kevin, i hear the walls are closing in on the president. >> no, not at all. i mean, look, for instance, anybody that they brought forth, there is no quid pro quo, there is nothing this president has done wrong.

there is no impeachable offense. what they are doing now is they admit the process is a sham. they are actually changing the process for the worse. they are making adam schiff now the prosecutor, the judge, and the jury. and they are denying more republicans in the room and those who are in the room only allowing one to ask a question. steve: well, apparently lieutenant colonel vinman yesterday said that when he looked at the transcript of the phone call, it was different than what he remembered. and so he reported it, and he wanted to change the language. and apparently the ukrainian president mentioned burisma and then donald trump mentioned that videotape where joe biden is talking about how he held up a billion dollars worth of loan guarantees. and apparently because they did not put those words back in, mr. vinman felt obligated to report to his bosses. >> that's fine. he is not the only one listening to the call there have a number of individuals listening to the call. they put the transcript together. so if one person disagrees, it's a collective group that decides not the president. but, you know what in the

rest of america and the rest of the world has seen this call. you've read the transcript. it's not what adam shed a quid pro quo, it's not what adam schiff lied to the american public of what he wished was in the call. there is nothing impeachable about this. so why are they dragging this through this once again with the common denominator that adam schiff, the individual who is willing to lie so they remove it from the judiciary committee because they found a person who will continue to lie andhror nightmare. steve: are you suggesting that adam schiff would lie and jerry nadler wouldn't? is that what you are saying right there. >> no. am saying nadler is inept. he can't manage it. adam schiff lied to the american public not knowing about the whistleblower. he did know he met with the whistleblower. they sent him to the attorney general and whistleblower never said that he lied circumstantial evidence. he put us through a two year nightmare with millions of dollars spent. and the worst part about all of this, what are we not

doing? government is not funded. our military is not getting their pay raise. prescription drug prices are not being lower dollars. the agreement with mexico and canada are number one and number two traders are not ratified while we are sitting down talking to china our number three trader. we are making america weaker just because they dislike this president. steve: nancy pelosi says she is trying to get to the bottom of it. isn't she really just trying to ensure she is speaker next time again because there are extremist elements in her party she is worried they are either going to primary a lot of her caucus or else they are going to challenge the leadership. she doesn't want to lose the gavel next time. >> no. but she is going. to say it only takes 19 seats to win the majority. they have 31 democrats sitting in seats that president trump carried. and we're going to carry those again. but what's more important here, watch the democrats. they all approve of impeachment every time they get a primary opponent. watch max rose congressman who said impeachment is wrong. now he has changed the

entire system that you are in the innocent until proven guilty. he says the president says he is innocent. he has to prove it now. steve: it will be interesting to see how many go that way. kevin mccarthy, from california, sir, thank you very much for joining us live today. >> thank you. steve: all right. what do you think about that? email us. meanwhile, what really happened to jeffrey epstein in that jail cell here in new york? epstein's brother hired dr. michael baden to find out. this morning, dr. baden will reveal what he found in his first tv interview. it's going to make news and it's coming up next. ♪ liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

steve: it has been nearly three months since american financier and alleged sex trafficker jeffrey epstein. his death ruled a suicide here in new york back in august. ainsley: our next guest was tapped by epstein's team to observe the autopsy and is here to reveal the findings from his investigation. brian: joining us right now

former new york city medical examiner dr. michael baden. is he a forensic pathologist. fox news contributor and joins us right now for exclusive interview. dr. baden, thanks for being here. >> good morning. brian: when did you realize that the epstein family needed help? >> well, i was asked by the brother, next of kin, to be at the autopsy and at the autopsy on day one, there were findings that were usual for suicidal hanging and more consistent with ligature homicidal strangulation which included. steve: it was suggested at the time that he committed suicide by doing, what? >> by hanging at the time he was found allegedly hanging by a whom made ligature of sheets. ainsley: are you saying you don't think it was suicide? >> i think that the evidence points towards homicide rather than suicide. ainsley: why? >> because there are multiple three fractures in the hyoid bone, the thyroid cartilage that are very unusual for suicide and more

indicative of strangulation, homicidal strangulation. steve: let's take a look at what the medical examiner stated after careful review of all the investigative information, including complete autopsy findings, the determination on the death of epstein is below. cause, hanging. manner, suicide. you say that his fatal injuries are consistent with homicide? >> more consistent with homicide and, in fact, at the time of the autopsy, the doctor doing the autopsy wasn't -- didn't think it was enough information to say suicide so she put it pending further study and then for some -- and the family wants to know why was it changed from pending further studies to homicide afterwards. ainsley: if you are there watching them perform this autopsy, you notice these three broken bones and you believe it would be homicide. that would mean another person would have gone into his cell, strangled him. did he have any signs of trying to fight back? >> well, they took finger

nail clipping to see if there is anybody else's d.n.a. on it. and that hasn't been released. neither has the information about whose d.n.a. is on the ligature. ligature made out of torn strips of orange sheets. and whoever made it, had to have a lot of d.n.a. on it. and the brother has been asking that from day one. brian: so wait a second. you are say whoever made it has to have a lot of d.n.a. on it and there was? >> none at all we don't know who examined it. brian: you say when you left the examination room they weren't sure what happened. >> that's right. brian: you know this procedure. what happened in the interim to get this such a blunt conclusion? >> a week later, it was changed to homicide. the brother wants to know what did they get new in that week to make it homicide. brian: what's your answer to that? >> we don't know. it's 80 days now. and the brother feels he is

getting the run around. and to add to it, there was a total breakdown in security. the video cameras didn't work. the guards went to sleep. the. steve: what about that guy who was in the cell with him earlier where it was suggested that that guy tried to kill him? >> he had a new roommate now because suicide watch. different roommate. that roommate was pulled away a day or two before so that there was no roommate with him. no suicide watch. no security guards, no videotapes that were working. did the fbi able to get the information from the video. ainsley: i know you were hired back in the 70's to do this as your job. you really investigated deaths in prison after the rite and alriot and all these ps died. what are the chances not being checked on 3:30 to 6:30 finding his body and two prison guards falling asleep. >> extremely unlikely. never seen n 50 years all deaths that occur in prisons

in new york state. never had two guards fall asleep at the same time all the video doesn't work. the issue would be did somebody come in and cause his death? steve: what about the suggestion you may be biased because you were hired by the family? >> that's always a situation except that governor rockefeller after atticus set up a special board to look into all deaths in new york prisons because concern police medical examiners and guards were biased when the inmates complained that deaths were being covered up and we have a separate board that looks into all these deaths. brian: dr. baden what i don't understand is if everybody wants the same thing, the truth, the brother shouldn't be fighting anything. they should be interviewing you and saying tell me about what you have. have people investigating this case prior to them ruling it a suicide, contacted you. >> not at all. none. brian: do you find that strange?

>> yes. ask the attorney general is investigating the cause of death as they are doing the security on this issue. somebody should have been investigating everybody who had anything to do with the autopsy. brian: sure. ainsley: if there was a prisoner who went in and strangled him the d.n.a. is on that. >> ligature. ains the bed sheets. wouldn't it be easy to track down who that person was. >> absolutely. absolutely. that's the first thing. the medical examiner at the time of the first autopsy did swabs all the clothing for d.n.a., but who had the ligature. ainsley: who has that information? why isn't that being released? >> that's what the brother wants to know. that's why they asked me to come here. steve: you are calling on the state to figure out whose d.n.a. is on that? >> not the state, unfortunately. this is a federal prison. so the state has nothing. the fbi usually investigates -- would be investigating it. and the brother wants to know one, did the fbi get ahold of that ligature and, two, it only take as couple

days to do the d.n.a. what's the results? brian: dr. baden, i know you are just somebody who looks at a situation cut and dry. i'm looking at d.n.a. looking at hard facts. how important, in your investigation conclusion is his mind set prior to suicide? and the fact that he had planned afterwards and that he spent so much time with his lawyers the day before. >> yes. you are absolutely right. the great majority of people who commit suicide give warning signs ahead. now, one of the warning signs could have been the incident july 23rd when he said. the roommate assaulted him and the guards said it was suicide attempt. and they should have been watching him. they didn't watch him, according to the guards, according to his lawyers at that time. he was in good mood. he was still waiting for a decision whether he can get out on bail. that hadn't come yet. steve: he had so many victims. i think it the victims really deserve to know what happened. >> you are absolutely right.

a lot of things happened. also the brother is concerned that if he was murdered then other people who have information might be at risk, in jeopardy. brian: look, the heart doesn't go out with this guy. this guy seems like just a terrible person, used his power and manipulation, ability for evil means. i get it? >> right. brian: but there are so many people who are implicated in his web of ugliness, you wonder, you wonder if this plays a role. the powerful people that his antics affected and would have been affected had he lived. >> you are absolutely right. that's one of the things that the brother thinks as well. if they think he has information that his life could be in jeopardy. ainsley: what does the brother tell you he thinks happened? >> he thinks he wants to find the answer to. he thinks that his brother wasn't type to commit suicide but he hasn't been able to get information. brian: how hard is it to commit suicide in prison.

>> very easy. but, first, in this situation if he took the sheets taken a half hour to make the ligature. once you are hanging it's about five minutes or so you can have -- be near dead. steve: dr. baden, you know, if the supposition is that it was a homicide. that would mean cops were in on it, you know, who opened the door? who moved the cameras, all of it. ainsley: was it someone ons outside or inside job? >> that's right. steve: that's a terrible allegation. >> well, why were two guards asleep in 50 years of looking at deaths in new york state, occasionally a guard falls asleep. >> never two guards at the same time. the cell, the camera in the cell watching didn't work. the camera in the hallway to see if anybody came in and out of his cell didn't work. this is bizarre. his roommate was taken away so he was all by himself. suicide watch was taken away.

yeah, the issue you bring up has to be investigate you had. doesn't mean this is homicide but certainly it deserves investigation and the brother is concerned there is no investigation. ainsley: have you ever seen anyone that committed suicide and was hanging themselves with those three broken bones? >> no. hanging does not cause these broken bones and homicide does. usually two bones, even three is a huge amount of pressure was applied. brian: how different is this for anyone let alone high profile prison. >> 800 other people in the correction facility and most of them would have likened to have gotten their hands on him one because of sexual things, two to make a name for themselves. three, because somebody put them up to it. you are right though, a number of people had to be involved if this is a homicide. steve: dr. baden, thank you very much. he just said that the fatal injuries are consistent with

homicide. and you have also called on the feds to figure out whose d.n.a. is on that thing that he hung himself with if he hung himself. dr. baden thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: a lot more on this topic on foxnews.com. ainsley: free speech on college campuses. next guest has a powerful message about it? >> it is ideological fascism. you must be one of us or you are unwelcome. there's my career... my cause... and creating my dream home. i'm a work in progress. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. prescription dovato is for adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment and who aren't resistant to either of the medicines dolutegravir or lamivudine. dovato has 2 medicines in 1 pill to help you reach and then stay undetectable. so your hiv can be controlled with fewer medicines while taking dovato. you can take dovato anytime of day with food or without. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its

you must be one of us or you are unwelcome. brian: that's the theme throughout the movie. here with president of american university and oklahoma wesleyan university. dr. piper, describe the college campus feeling when you got into this business and how you left it. >> thank you for having me on, brian. it's always a pleasure. you know, what we have today is thought control rather than the premise of thoughtful debate. it's ideological fascism. you will think, talk like us. if you don't we will crutch cru, we will silence you when you have people like adam carolla and van jones and bill maher and dave rubin and conservative christians everett piper agreeing what we are creating on our campuses is a monster rather than academic freedom and intellectual liberty. everybody should watch this movie. brian: how did it happen this way. i sense many on the left

overshot their target. this is blowing up in their face. >> you are absolutely right. like i said, we have created a monster and it's turning around to consume us. how did it happen? look at what richard weaver wrote in 1946. he said ideas have consequences. garbage in, garbage out. when you teach bad ideas, you are going to get bad culture, bad community, bad government, and bad kids. when you teach good ideas, you get the opposite. abraham lincoln even told us of this. he said what's taught today in the school room will be practiced tomorrow in our culture. how did it happen? we have been teaching ideological foreclosure. we have been teaching political correctness rather than common sense, natural law, self-evident truths and those big laws actually lend themselves to freedom. brian: did i watch this movie. my hope is that we got to breaking point that people like you and people like even bill maher the inverse of you ideologically are going to help people have a wake-up call to opening up people's mind to different sides of debate.

are we at the breaking point? >> i think crisis always precipitates change. i think this crisis of foreclosure, this crisis of a lack of academic freedom and thought control, this crisis could lead us to a correction. and the correction would be recognizing that you go to school to learn what's good, what's beautiful, what's true. you don't go to college or university to be indoctrinated. you should be there to have a thoughtful debate not have your thoughts controlled. and i think if we recognize that this is an opportunity to go back to the classical liberal arts institution where you teach liberty and teach freedom rather than teach fascism, then we can have a correction in the right direction. brian: i just wonder you if you in a job interview president of a major university if you said that if you would get hired today. because if you could get hired today, that will show me it's the beginning of change. yes or no, would you get hired today if you said that

in your interview? >> i think the odds today are very slim. and you asked the question in a rhetorical fashion because you know the answer. brian: no safe spaces great movie. have you got to see it. i don't care if you are republican or democrat, liberal or conservative. thanks so much dr. effort piper. >> thank you. brian: for speaking up. simply known as the beer guy. the man who chose his beer over a ball at the world series. now he's a commercial. ♪ brian: jillian caught up with him last night at the game. he joins us live next. ♪ i'm a simple man ♪ all you got to do with advil, you have power over pain,

unusual for suicide. more indicative of strange you youlation. homicide strangulation. brian: extraordinary circumstances nobody advocated for jeffrey epstein, because he is such a despicable person. he did such heinous acts. the fact two guards were asleep. the fact he was attacked a couple weeks before. the fact he was talking about his future. ainsley: taken off suicide watch. was not checked on for a long time. 3:30 was the last check-in, they found him 6:30 in the morning. listen to dr. baden. >> took fingernail clippings to see anybody else did. na. that has not been released. neither information about whose dna on ligature. ligature made out of torn strips, made out of orange sheets. whoever made it had to have a

lot of dna on it. the medical examiner, at time of first autopsy, did swabs of all the clothing for dna. but who had the ligature? did the fbi get ahold of that ligature? two. only takes a couple days to do dna that. isthe results. steve: michael epstein's brother wants to feds to figure out where is the ligature the thing that jeffrey he have steen hanged himself in. why haven't the results of the dna swabbing of figuring out if anybody else was touching that? is there dna on that? who does that dna belong to? ainsley: they're not cooperating with the family. the brother wants answers. the question who would want to kill him? someone inside. the brother wants answers. dr. bauden said in my 50 years of experience. in my 20,000 autopsies i

performed, i have never seen someone hang themself and those three bones are broken. brian: very interesting. add to this. when they left the examination they didn't know for sure it was suicide. suddenly ruled a suicide. they didn't know how that happened. more from bauden. >> why were two guards asleep. occasionally 50 years, a guard falls asleep. never two guards at same time. camera in the cell watching didn't work. the camera in the hallway to see if anybody came in and out of the cell didn't work. this is bizarre. his roommate was taken away all by himself. suicide watch. issue you bring up has to be -- doesn't mean this is homicide. certainly deserves investigation. ainsley: fbi would do that. it is a federal facility. steve: medical examiner here in new york.

they put out official review, investigative information, including complete autopsy findings, the determination of death of epstein is below. cause, hanging. the manner, suicide. dr. bauden made it clear the fatal injuries are consistent not with suicide but with homicide. ainsley: dr. bauden used to have the job. in the '70s he was hired. governor rockefeller wanted to investigate a big prison riot where so many prisoners died. the governor said we need to start investigating how these people are dying, it is being covered up behind bars. so he was hired by the governor to have that job actually. brian: here is the headline on foxnews.com which is also getting a lot of clicks. jeffrey epstein more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide, dr. bauden reveals. it goes into more details. on lesser note not talking about life or death, we're talking about politics. that is the story in washington,

mainly tomorrow with the big vote. we're trying to piece together what happened yesterday. steve: lieutenant colonel who was on the phone call between the president of the united states and the president of ukraine, he testified he didn't think it was proper for the president to ask ukraine to investigate the bidens. he was unhappy with the fact that the official transcript was worded slightly differently than how he remembered it. he remember the president zellinski mentioning burisma. he remember president of the united states talking about the tape with joe biden bragging how he held up a billion dollars worth of loan guaranties. they were not in the transcript. he wanted them included. the officials say the differences between the transcript and his, mr. vinman recollection were not that significant. that is why they were not included. ainsley: republicans in the room

while he was testifying, they tried to ask a question, adam schiff, no, no, you don't have to answer. listen to what congressman jim jordan said. >> chairman schiff has prevented witnesses from answering certain questions we have during the deposition. you know one of the things you do in these depositions you ask, basics, who, what, when, where, why, you ask the questions. when we asked the whistleblower who he spoke to after important events in july. adam schiff says, no we'll not let him answer the question. at start of everyone of these depositions, you know, start of every single one he says this is not classified. he tells us that. the witness has their counsel there. their lawyers there they don't need adam schiff being chairman and lawyer. but that is in effect what happened today. brian: getting reports from our own catherine herridge through her sources he also could not point to a quid pro quo in this respect. the lieutenant colonel. that he said i, they didn't know

until late august what the military aid was postponed, was suspended for the moment. he had no proof of that. as you indicated earlier, when asked where is the demand in this transcript that the president made demands on the you crane, he couldn't find it. and then he said, when the president makes a statement that is considered a demand. that is a huge leap to consider that. that is real huge leap. he also emphatic he is not the whistleblower. but my sense is this. adam schiff sat down there, talked to the whistle-blower, his staff did. he knew all the multiple sources no problem with the phone call. that were people seen in and out of this testimony. whistleblower gave him guest list. i don't even need the whistleblower anymore. that seems to make the most sense. steve: in one of the sound bites we played earlier, jim jordan referred to the man as the whistleblower. in so much as he went to his boss at nsc, said, look the

president did this. brian: sounds like a whistleblower. ainsley: he might not even know he is. 10 or 12 or how many people listening phone call each might have told one person what happened. he complained, went to the general counsel this was second party. the whistleblower remember was a second party. steve: we have a couple different whistleblowers. the resolution by congressman mcgovern, democrats and republicans votes on tomorrow, essentially what it does, i heard somebody on capitol hill encapsulate it this way, all the committees, keep doing what you're doing, adam schiff you get to do more. tim mccarthy had this observation about pelosi and schiff. >> there is no quid pro quo. there is nothing this president has done wrong. there is no impeach ann offense. what they're doing now they admit the process is a sham. they're changing process for the worse.

they're making adam schiff the prosecutor, the judge and the jury. they're denying more republicans in room, those in the room only at one to ask questions. there is common denominator, adam schiff, the individual who is willing to lie so they remove it from the judiciary committee, because they found a person who will continue to lie and put us through another nightmare. brian: part of "the new york times" story, they talked about, lieutenant colonel would come forward, did come forward yesterday, said he was born in the ukraine, which is true. twin brother came here at earlier age. ukrainians were saying how do we deal with rudy giuliani. the lieutenant colonel came in. he is one of the leading persons on the you crane, that is one of his leading places, areas of expertise. that is not questioning the lieutenant colonel's credibility. it is a point to bring up. he was the go-between the ukrainian government and the current government. but to me, if you were concerned about the ukraine's welfare, the

outrage should have been two years prior when president obama, even though they were being invaded carved up by the russians, would not give them a gun. gave them sleeping bags and mres, they took crimea. we did nothing except a few sanctions. that is the outrage. this is the aid they didn't know about is a. steve: i don't know if the guy was in the room during the obama years. he felt like the president went over the line. that is why he reported it to his supervisors. the guy won a purple heart. been in the service a very long time. brian: no one had any problem ripping lieutenant-general michael flynn who was in the service 33 years. he has got more medals than most people in their entire lifetime, people had a problem with michael flynn. they didn't say they were being anti-pay patriotic, you question

what the colonel had to say, wow, how could you say about an officer. steve: he questioned the official transcript. that is how he wound up in the hot seat. ainsley: carley has more headlines. carley: fox news alert. update on the massive getty fire in los angeles. turns out it was sparked by a tree branch falling on power lines. take a look at this surveillance video, showing moment it happened. the area under its first ever extreme red flag warning. up north half a million hopes and businesses are without power. pg&e customers are frustrated. >> everybody is losing money. the companies are losing money. employees are losing money. it is not a good situation for anybody. carley: fast moving santa ana winds threatening to spark new fires today. breaking overnight, there is a massive manhunt underway after

administration, cpp, i.c.e., other agencies have done incredible job and incredible success, the numbers are down last four months. the numbers are double last year. apprehensions per day are still 1400. those numbers are still unacceptable. we still have a lot of work to do. steve: one of the things the president always touts we're building a new border wall on the southern border but explain how this has to do with gigantic number of drugs into the country? smugglers are using building the wall to distract people from what they're up to? >> steve, that is a great point for a couple different ways it does. it shows cartels and human smugglers change what we call ttps, techniqueses tactics, procedures. as soon as we shut that down, they come up with new one. they're dressing up as construction workers. using that to get around.

what the american people need to understand is, this just isn't about the migration crisis. it is also the national security crisis. we seized 750,000 pounds of drugs. last year, 68,000 people in this country decide from a drug overdose. that is a national security crisis. ainsley: they're dressing up as construction workers and then climbing the wall? >> going around the wall. ainsley: how did you discover they weren't construction workers? >> that is what border patrol and agencies do every day. we're out there on at frond lines. we figure it out. this isn't new to us. they try all kinds of those ttps to illegally enter this country. again the american people need to understand, when we talked about the wall for example, it is not to stop law-abiding citizens or immigrant to come here to have a merit-based

claim. this is to stop illegal immigration, just as important to stop drugs from pouring into this country, killing 68,000 people last year. brian: you have 276 miles under so-called preconstruction. you want 450 by the end of the year, but the numbers are unbelievable, up 113% and it would have been so much worse the triangle countries and mexico not cooperated. more cooperation than in congress. >> brian, that is absolutely 100%. and again, all your viewers should be disgusted at that. we have, government of mexico, the northern triangle countries, stepping up, seeing this as regional crisis, doing more to address this humanitarian and national security crisis than our own congress. our congress has sat idly by while other countries stepped up and down more. drugs and illegal aliens are pouring into our country. brian: i wonder if president

question, after question. to allow republicans to be able to ask the questions. this resolution should go down in flames. brian: donald trump, jr., joins us, executive vice president of the trump organization, son of the president, author of upcoming book, triggered, how the left thrives on hate and silences us. new rules they're voting on impeachment? >> we've seen what the left has done ever since the impeachment inquiry started back in 2016 when my father won the election. november 9th, 2016 when the inquiry started. the goalposts are never ending. they're always changing the rules. people, republicans in the room saying hey with, tried to ask a question. they won't even let us ask. they get their sound bite out. adam schiff leaks it, likely did with all of my transcripts, they were changing dates to get the bombshells. steve: only bad stuff. >> only bad stuff. it wasn't bad stuff. they changed dates, it appeared

and women in the country. i give them a lot more credit. they have seen it. they see the rules of the game. they see never ending movement of the goalpost. they get they are being duped. they will come out back in 2020 and say enough of this. donald trump is in office because of this kind of behavior. rather than changing that behavior, they have doubled down, they tripled down. they quadrupled down. they just made it worse for themself. steve: don, the narrative was, we played a montage, walls are closing in on donald trump. >> we're going to get him this time. i liked the movie 15 times ago when i heard it. give me a break. steve: tom brokaw on another channel, unlike when they had goods on richard nixon, the democrats do not have the goods on your father. that brings up the question, why are they doing it? >> there is no there there. they do usual thing, they bring in a guy beyond reproach. like mueller.

he is dedicated guy. head of the fbi. meanwhile took about 30 seconds for people to realize when they put him on the stand i never had seen the mueller report. it was a joke. now they will do it with this guy. he is decorated, talking to ukraine or want to edit transcript. brian: did they give michael flynn benefit? >> or tulsi gabbard a veteran? she is russian agent. only get total be a solution if you are a leftist veteran, not a veteran. just a leftist. if you're on their side you can do no wrong. brian: we don't know if he is a leftist. >> sure. ainsley: don, media in new york, hollywood making movies, they don't get middle america, don't get where we're all from. how does your dad? your dad is from new york? >> he did it. he spent his life in construction. he was building buildings, he spent time on construction sites, not just listening to a

granted. the otherstuff i write about. my mom escaped. communist czechoslovakia. that mentality from escaping ideology pushed on americans as mainstream thought, my grandparents, my grandmother was still alive in tears, you can't let this happen to this country. you can't let socialism and communism come in here. it always sounds good on paper and destroys everything. steve: your family built an empire, i was down in washington this weekend, selling the lease of the trump hotel down in washington? >> we'll explore it. everyone is saying we're getting so rich -- we can't sell or rent rooms to people in other governments. we voluntarily did that. we can't maximize assets we have. we literally volunteered not to do any new international deals. steve: leaning towards doing it? >> we'll see what happens. reality, unlike hunter biden

magically became an international businessman the second his father stepped on world stage as vp, we've been international business people for decades. but we can't even do those kinds of deals anymore. we can't even continue. because we chose not to. we didn't think it was appropriate. so that is the double standard. media said you're enriching yourself. we literally stopped. he literally started when he had the first chance he got, to take advantage of his father's office. we did exactly the opposite. when you look at the world through the mainstream media's lens, they see baghdadi as an austere religious scholar but see nick sandman, a 15-year-old high schoolkid in maga hat, as a homegrown terrorist. this is the sickness we're up against. it is pervasive and getting worse. the trump derangement syndrome is role and the only cure is four more years. brian: i heard the hotel was doing well. only place republicans felt

comfortable but you still sell night we'll explore the options. that is what we have to do. we can't maximize that asset as business people. we have responsibility as business people. it is d.c. all international business. we chose not to do that. every time we do that we get another lawsuit about this, another lawsuit about that, almost easier to stay away from it. brian: make it another post office again. >> that is what the left chose to do. this is not a business plan for hunter biden. we chose it is the right thing to do for mesh. that is why my father to the into this job. not because he needed this job, he wanted to do the right things for working class americans. he executing plan, doing it every day, despite unprecedented amount of incoming from the left, media, people who love the establishment. steve: new book, "triggered quote. coming out thursday.

u.s. army infantry captain, all-out war, latest book, sean parnell joins us. we want to get your take, joe biden telling president to stay in his lane? >> first of all, stay in his lane? for god's sakes, defeating isis is precisely in the president's lane. if joe biden thinks dealing with terrorist threats around the world is not in the commander-in-chief's lane, perhaps he should be disqualified from running for the job. clearly he does not understand what it entails. ainsley: that is a good point. he is the commander-in-chief. >> commander comes before chief. president trump ran on defeating isis, destroying territorial caliphate. he did that he killed tens of thousands of isis fighters. he did that. he killed number one and number two guy in the organization. i think president trump has handle on situation. steve: he is in his lane. couple days ago the president was in pennsylvania. talking at a conference. your name came up.
