reasons, check out fo fox news.. i have no feelings on this. my sister has a few for you continue the argument. news is continuing now. arthel: president trump weighing in on the democrats''s impeachment push saying the lawmakers are waging, quote, a an you attack on democracy itself to reverse the course of his 2016 election win. those comments came as the president traveled to mississippi to shore up republican support ahead of the state's tightest giewb that tory a generation. >> the democrats voted to potentially nullify the votes of 63 million americans, disgracing themselves and bringing shame upon the house of representatives.

but i'll tell you, the republicans are really strong. arthel: hello, welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm arthel neville. eric: thank you for joining us on the fox news channel. i'm eric sean. a divided house this week voted to formalize the rules of their impeachment process. that vote along party lines shows republicans do remain firmly behind the president but you know democrats appear confident that shining a light on his conduct, they they think could bolster public support for their inquiry heading into the 2020 election. we have a live report from the north lawn of the white house with the latest developments. >> reporter: good morning from the white house. president trump and other republicans are criticizing this impeachment inquiry, arguing that much of it is happening behind the scenes, behind closed doors and it's not open to the public. well, house speaker nancy pelosi announced there will be public hearings sometime this month. the president continues to play down impeachment talks, arguing it shouldn't have happened in

the first place, but members of his inner sir l kell at the white house -- circle at the white house now publicly saying they're prepared for impeachment. last night at a rally in mississippi, president trump turned the impeachment talk into a rallying cry for his base. >> i never thought i'd be involved, and the word impeachment, to me it's a dirty word. not a good word. totally phony deal. they know it. everybody knows it. and that's why we've never had greater support than we are right now. it's true. >> reporter: on thursday, democrats with the majority voted on the house floor to of move forward with the current impeachment inquiry. important to point out, this was not a vote to actually impeach the president, just to set up parameters for the future of the investigation, otherwise known as an inquiry. >> this is about the constitution and how we go forward with this and no decision has been made to impeach. that's what the inquiry is about. >> reporter: but the president's supporters in congress believe that democrats want to not only

impeach but remove the president from office. >> the president didn't do anything wrong. it's the law to look into corruption in order to provide a aid to ukraine, that's law going back several years, since before donald trump was a candidate to become president of the united states. in this case, ukraine didn't know there was a hold on aid before it was released. then the aid got released and ukraine didn't have to do anything in order to get a release. >> reporter: to be removed the president would have to be impeached in the house and convicted in a trial in the senate. tonight he will head to new york, madison square garden, to watch an i'll it t met fighting -- ultimate fighting competition, watch the championship and then head back to washington tomorrow. eric: one of the fighters, one of the president's big supporters. david, thank you. arthel: as the white house is embracing -- bracing for impeachment, house speaker nancy pelosi says the next phase could begin this month.

speaker pelosi yesterday telling bloomburg, quote, i would assume there would be public hearings in november. i don't know what the timetable would be. the truth will set us free. more on this now is kate erby, congressional reporter forks mcclaspy. tell us more about how the white house is preparing or bracing for impeachment. >> so we don't have a total clear answer on they that. we've seen a couple of different tactics they've taken but of course with this white house, a lot comes down to president trump. we've known for a while that he likes to take the lead on his own messaging, he likes to blaze his on path forward. his spokeswoman, stephanie grayh grishoh said it's up to him and how he wants to handle it. the republicans are criticizing the process of impeachment. arthel: what is the president's best defense? >> well, he says he did nothing

wrong. he stuck by that. he even pushed other members of congress to defend him on the actual substance of the call and not the process. so that's what he's been pushing and the senate so far doesn't seem like people are really breaking. so that might be his best avenue. arthel: will the public hearings bolster the democrats' position on impeachment or is there a chance that these hearings could work against the democrats? >> it's hard to say right now. i mean, obviously we haven't seen a ton of public hearings so far and we're hearing different things from democrats and republicans. we're hearing from democrats that this testimony is damning, that it's very convincing that the president needs to be impeached and we hear from republicans that there are weaknesses in these stories and that we're not seeing the president's defense and we need to see more of that of. so now of course the public's going to be able to judge for themselves with these public hearings instead of hearing it from these partisan lens as

reporters question lawmakers after private hearings. arthel: in the open sessions will republican lawmakers continue to attack the process or will they begin to build a defense for the president? >> it's hard to say right now. i think they're going to continue attacking process probably. representative nunes, who is the lead republican on intelligence, has come on your network many times to talk about how the president did nothing wrong but also talk about you how democrats have just been wanting to impeach president trump from the start, calling it a ukraine hoax and we've heard this from a few different republicans. it's hard to criticize the process as much now because the main thing they were saying before is a that speaker pelosi was not having this vote on the house floor, she wasn't authorizing impeachment and now they have done that but on very partisan lines. arthel: even though speaker pelosi followed the constitutional guidelines throughout the process. in general, kate, regarding

tone, what can we expect from the hearings? >> i would expect it to be incredibly partisan. i would expect to hear a good bit of grandstanding from both sides, a lot of outrage from republicans, a lot of outrage from democrats, but against the president and we'll he se we'llh more information we get from the public hearings. the reason sometimes lawmakers prefer private hearings is not only to protect the person involved and protects classified information, but also because it tends to be more productive when it's not grandstanding in front of a public audience. arthel: but the republicans wanted it to be in the public so here it comes. >> yep. arthel: kate, thank you very much. >> thank you. eric: the trouble continues out west, at least 13 wildfires burning now in california. at this hour, officials have extended red flag warnings in the southern part of the state

for two counties. crews are battling a series of fires there including the maria fire, that one started on halloween and forced the evacuation of people in santa paula, about 65 miles northwest of los angeles. that's where we find our christina coleman on the front lines with the latest there. hi, christina. >> reporter: hi, eric. right now it's very dry out here. we're dealing with dangerous fire conditions. go ahead and take a look at this video from when the maria fire started here in vein cure ray -- ventura county. you can he see how it lit up the hills while kids were out trick or treating in nearby neighborhoods. there's lots of sighs trus citrd avocado groves out here. they reenergized a power line minutes before the fire started. however, the cause of the blaze is under investigation. as of now, the fire is 20% contained. it has threatened about 2500 structures, burned at least 940e

evacuation of nearly 8,000 people when it started on south mountain, northwest of los angeles. about 1200 firefighters are actively working this blaze. >> there is still cause for caution and concern. we are not out of the woods yet. we still have at least 24 hours of critical fire weather ahead of us. >> reporter: southeast of here in simi valley, the easy fire was hurled by hurricane -- fueled by hurricane force winds on wednesday and threatened the reagan library. that fire is 95% contained after burning 1800 acres. the winds have died down since then around here, giving crews a better chance to control the fires. the reagan library which was heavily protected by fire crews reopened yesterday. the kincaid fire is now 72% contained. it burned more than 77,000 acres and destroyed 372 structures

since it started 10 days ago. evacuations have been lifted for thousands of people across the state as crews have been able to get the fires under control. as for the maria fire in southern california, it has destroyed three homes and those red flag warnings are in effect through this evening. eric. eric: christina, thanks so much. that video is stunning. later in the hour we'll be joined by the loss an los angee department, a spokesperson will talk about the weather conditions and what they're concerned about in fighting the fires. arthel: president trump announcing a new acting dhs secretary. the president tapping chad wolf to take over for outgoing kevin macquestion mcaleenan. >> reporter: president trump told reporters he appointed chad wolf as acting secretary of the department of homeland security. >> he's highly respected.

he he's acting right now. he we'll see where that goes. as you know, i like acting. i mean, a lot of people say -- i like acting. it gives you great flexibility. i do. >> reporter: it's not clear when wolf will take over as acting dhs chief l. with over 240 you thousan240,000employees. he will be the fifth person to hold the role in the trump white house. secretary wolf is the former chief of staff to former dhs secretary kirstjen nielsen and has risen through the ranks of dhs following the september 11th terrorist attacks. his no nomination as under secretary for policy at dhs remains stalled at the senate. officials say he has a favorable reputation at dhs the current acting dhs secretary will remain on the job until veteran's day. the current acting head of

prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2018, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $7400, on average, on their prescription costs. most humana medicare advantage plans help you stay active and keep fit by including a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. and, you may be able to save on dental and vision expenses, because coverage is now included with most humana medicare advantage plans. you get all this coverage for as low as a zero dollar monthly plan premium in many areas. and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana's large network. if you want the facts, call right now for the free decision guide from humana. there is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you can save on your prescriptions and to get our free decision guide. licensed humana sales

invited to testify next week regarding president trump's july call with his ukrainian counterpart. lauren blanchard is live from washington with more. >> reporter: despite the fact that the house is on recess next week, there will still be a full schedule of closed door testimonies. representative liz cheney september a letter to speaker pelosi last night, calling for the release of all transcripts, saying the selective leaking in which the house intelligence committee has been engaged must end immediately and the full and complete record must be he provided for the american people to see. here's the tentative schedule of who has been called to the cap l capitol. tuesday, wells griffith and michael duffy. wednesday, lawmakers hope to see rick perry, who is leaving his job at the end of the year but his office says he won't attend unless it's an open hearing and even then he'll only consider it. then thursday, lawmakers want to speak with former national

security advisor, john bolton. his lawyers say he will not voluntarily appear and are now waiting for a subpoena. house judiciary member andy businesbiggs is calling on adamf to also face questioning in the impeachment inquiry. >> the question is, does he think he's going to testify or is he going to not testify. he's actually become a witness in this case because of the whistleblower and his connection to the whistleblower and the staff's connection. >> as much as there is scrutiny of democrats for coming to whatever conclusions they may have come to, i think it's fair to say that republicans ought not come to the conclusion that no matter what the evidence shows, president trump will be exonerated. i think that's a dangerous standard for them to adhere to as well. >> reporter: all of these testimonies may be scheduled, but they are not guaranteed. speaker pelosi says they will be moving into more open hearings s and she says they're looking into releasing train soon.

transcripts soon. eric: house democrats are pushing forward as they do with those proceedings, republicans are pushing for the whistleblower's name to be made public. democrats argue it's not necessary with the mounting evidence they say corroborates the whistleblower's complaint. is that necessary? dudoug burns join joins us. do you think the whistleblower's name should be made public. >> one is to protect the confidentiality and the safety, the other is the public's right to know. the whistleblower protection act, it gives both sides something to work with. it says the inspector general shall maintain confidentiality, unless it's unavoidable that it be released in the course of the investigation and of course that sounds like law talk. it is. that's the way legal standards work. it works in one direction and then the other. the point is, if you can reasonably argue that it's unavoidable and it should come

out, then it should. right now, for right now, strictly on the legal merits, i think the democrats have the better side of the argument for you now which is there no need to really disseminate that. the cause primarily, everybody was he screaming how it was secondhand information. now others have coul forward, the call has -- have come forward, the call has been disclosed so the argument you don't need him or her anymore. there are some reports, i'm not going to get into, you may have seen about exactly who that person is and that's kind of interesting. already, in other words. eric: what about the argument the person's life could be in jeopardy, there could be a threat, to protect the identity. people have testified in mob cases, they're behind a screen or disguise the voice. >> you're right on the money. that's one of the main arguments, which is protect the confidentiality. but again, not to sound like a roller coaster ride, in comes the arrestingment, you're

entitled to confrontation, see who is accusing you, have a chance to cross-examine. the reason i weighed in and said the democrats versus a better of it legally, you heard all the experts note and say that this early stage is more analogous to like a grand jury phase in a criminal case and you don't have many legal rights on the defense side until you're formally charged or in this case impeached. eric: do you think the whistleblower will testify during a trial in the senate? >> i would tend to think that may not necessarily happen. again, for the same reasons i've said, plus a political reason. the reasons i said we don't need to repeat, which is the information has already coul out from other avenues. but i also think plight l callie which is a -- politically, whichs is little out of pie payi think politically they're walking away from it. you're hearing screaming from the right, analogous to the mueller situation, which is like wait a minute, how did this

start, did he work with schiff in advance. did lawyers write this letter and complaint. they want to kind of walk away from it and keep their heads down. eric: schiff denied meeting him. >> apparentl apparently theres information that he did. eric: meanwhile, what about the republicans, liz cheney is saying they've got -- the democrats have got to release the testimony from the behind closed r door hearings. >> couple points. there's a curative aspect to all of this. eric: what's curative. >> meaning -- a legal term. if you're complaining about something, i'm complaining that you're not giving me this sheet and then it turns out in 20 minutes i'm getting it, that cures my complaint that i didn't get the sheet. so the point is, to bring it home here, eric, we never got to see that closed door hearing but if that same person then comes out and testifies publicly, the argument is it's cured.

the counter argument is we deserve to see the prior one as well. eric: lawyers put witnesses on the witness stand, are you telling the truth now or what you told the grand jury. previously that was he secret. >> i get that point. i think the reality is, it may not happen. we'll see. i mean, you know, everybody's been screaming sort of hysterically about how it was conducted in the basement, there's been no due process. but again, little broken record point, at the early phase anal analogous to grand jury, it's similar. there were a couple cases cited, saying you're entitled to due process at the impeachment stage. it starts to get complicated. eric: do you think this has been a soviet style deposition the way some of the republicans have claimed. >> i'm surprised that the transparency the way you would expect to it be and i think that, again, that's why they went to the full vote in the house which was remarkably political, very interesting. look, there's two things that

are unclear. one is, what does the phrase high crimes and misdemeanors really mean. eric: it doesn't have to be a crime. >> exactly. the point is, very interesting because i was reading a little scholarly material this morning and they were saying high doesn't mean serious. it means by a high official and so it's getting very interesting. and then they also made your point, which is that it's more of a political offense than a criminal offense, if you look back to when that was framed out coming out of england. so it's pretty interesting. so that's point one. ten times more importantly, what's unclear is how is this hitting the public and we can sit here until we're red in the face. this poll says everybody wants it. what that poll says nobody wants it. the point is, the truth's in the middle. eric: what's going to happen, they talk about public hearings rolling out. >> i find it fascinating, as a trial lawyer, to see nancy pelosi say a little bit weakly, i don't want to overplay my ski

tips, but she's like oh, i think there may be hearings in november. i thought that was interesting. i thought if they were more amped up, she would be like these hearings are starting november 2nd. i have my own theories. i'll give you the at this of it. they may walk away from it. we'll see. it's possible. eric: walk away from the hearings? >> not from the hearings. walk away from impeachment in the end. eric: why do you think so? >> membe?number one, if the amen public doesn't want it, that's a good thing. if people are telling their representatives, we don't want this, that may come into play. eric: how can they walk away after had they said what they said. >> you teed into my answer. here's the re-tore l cal l re- ,

we don't want to put the american people through this. i'm not saying for sure, not saying definitely. i think it's a possibility, eric. eric: what a prediction from doug burns. doug, we'll see you. thanks so much. arthel: thank you. at least 13 wildfires, 13, are burning in california right now and warnings have been extended at least through this evening for two counties. next, we speak to one fire official about the dangers people in the golden state are facing and whether those winds that have fueled the flames might finally subside. >> we are in the middle of a big fight. we're about a week into this and the end is not yet in sight. we are finding that the winds are starting to change and that presents its own challenges all by itself.

one of the hardest hit areas is long angeles county. i'm joined by the fire department spokesperson, nic nicholas prang, it is mister or officer? >> firefighter. arthel: thank you for joining us. i know you're incredibly busy out there. if you could, tell us the current status on the ground. >> in the city of los angeles, we've had a handful of large fires recently. all of them do not have active flames and there are still some hot spots, smoldering stumps and roots that can be stoked up by the wind a little bit and we do have crews watching out for that but there's no active flame and they there are no structures threatened right now. the most recent fires --

arthel: those are under control. >> we were the lead agency on those. arthel: and those are under control. >> they're all under control and like i said, we do have units patrolling and still actively putting out hot spots within the burn perimeter but there is no active flame and the fire is not growing. arthel: that's good. but you still have existing fires south of you, ventura county, southwest or what have you, and other hot spots. what will be most concerning to you once night begins to fall? >> well, we do have some winds coming back, but not as bad as they were the last couple weeks and we did have kind of an unexpected set of clouds roll in this morning that have provided some lightning strikes and we're keeping an eye on that to make sure there are no new starts in the brush because of that, but with the fires around us outside of la, it is a team effort.

we are sending strike teams to some of the other fires, like kincaid and the maria fire and not only a firefighter teamwork but also the residents who provided great brush clearance and the defenseable space for us to work in and make a stand, where the homeowners provide the defense and then if we have the space, we can provide the offense there. and then after the fires are over, the recovery starts and the red cross gets involved and the emergency management department. so it's a huge team effort with our meteorologists and many different people and agencies. arthel: right, right. finally, do you have all the assistance you need and also where are the residents going, many of them who have been evacuated? where do they go? >> the evacuation centers will be made known on social media, traditional media, and on the fire department website, depending on which jurisdiction they break out in.

so homeowners and residents who need to evacuate can get that information and a number of different avenues. arthel: any planned evacuations coming up? >> no. we never plan these things. of course. but we don't have any huge incidents that are looking like they're going to require evacuations. our most recent large incidents yesterday were actually not brush related. they were -- one was a recycling yard and one was commercial fire. that's what we've been focusing on yesterday and these brush fires are, like i said, being patrolled but they're not a risk to the community. arthel: i understand you don't plan the evacuations, they're as needed but considering that forecasters are extending at least last i read that forecasters are extending red flays warnings through at -- flag warnings through at least saturday evening, was wondering if that would impact your immediate plans. >> we don't -- we kind of do it

as the incidents start. so people hear the term santa ana winds or a santa ana event and many viewers across the country don't know what that is. but it's a whole regional weather phenomenon where there's actually a high pressure over utah, mainly, and the air flow goes from utah through the basin, all the way through california, especially southern california, and to the ocean and why it's the most severe in southern california is because as the air drops in elevation an passes across the dry desert, the relative humidity drops and the air warms up as it gets closer to the ocean and as it drops elevation and so it happens every year this time and we have small fires that start every day but we get on them really quickly and when the santa anas are blowing, those fires become very large before we can even get there. arthel: i read that you've got like 10% humidity.
