college students seem to support the activists according to a poll by the college polls. paul: unbelievable. that's it for this week's show. thanks to my panel. thanks to all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. we hope to see you right here next week. eric: the white house continuing to push the message when it comes to the impeachment probe. president trump saying it is quote an attack on democracy itself. house democrats maintain the president abused his office by pressuring ukraine to investigate a potential political rival, former vice president joe biden and for that they say he should be impeached. welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm eric sean. arthel: i'm arthel neville. the house voting mostly along party lines this week to make the impeachment inquiry official. the president bushing back at a rally -- pushing back at rally in mississippi last night defending his phone call with

ukraine's president and saying there is nothing to the democrats probe. >> the president of ukraine said it was a very good conversation. there was no pressure. his foreign minister said the same thing, no pressure. they must think we're nuts, to be honest. it's all a phony deal, this whole impeachment scam. >> you don't need a quid pro quo. you need the quid. the quid was there. now we are learning about the rest of it. on that conversation, the president of the united states in my view violated his oath of office to the constitution of the united states. arthel: we have live fox team coverage. lauren blanchard has reaction from capitol hill. we begin with david at the white house. david? >> arthel, president trump is also at the white house this afternoon. he has yet to tweet anything impeachment related at least at this point, but a quiet afternoon on twitter here at the white house, follows a lively

rally last night in tupelo, mississippi. thousands of supporters came out for that rally. the president touched on the economy and jobs numbers, also the raid in syria that killed isis leader al baghdadi. as is standard now, the president took some time to talk about impeachment. his likely impeachment in the house of representatives i say likely because the house voted last week in favor of moving forward with just the investigation on thursday. but white house officials are now saying publicly they are prepared for the president to officially be impeached in the house of representatives. >> yesterday the democrats voted to potentially nullify the votes of 63 million americans disgracing themselves and bringing shame upon the house of representatives. they've been plotting to overthrow the election since the

moment i won. >> as far as a formal vote on articles of impeachment in the house, speaker pelosi hasn't made a date here. some in her caucus told fox news they believe by tend of this year others -- the end of this year and others saying the beginning of next year. senator mcconnell could have a trial on his hands. senators would vote on impeachment. supreme court chief justice john roberts would preside. that's why his official title arthel is chief justice of the united states. the senate has majority of republicans so republican senators tell fox news they feel confident the president would not be convicted there. president trump set to leave from marine one to air force one to take a trip actually up to new york city tonight where he will spend the night at trump tower. he will be back here tomorrow at the white house. arthel? arthel: thank you, david. eric: the impeachment inquiry moving forward full steam now. those public hearings as david

said possibly starting soon. both current and former trump administration officials on the list, those witnesses who could be called to testify. lauren blanchard has more on what we can expect. she's in washington. hi, lauren. >> hi, eric. some of these hearings may be scheduled, but it doesn't mean they will actually happen. energy secretary rick perry's team says he won't appear until law makers are, quote, interested in conducting a serious proceeding. even so, it's expected to still be a busy week here in washington. on tuesday, lawmakers are expecting wells griffith if from department of energy and office of management and budget michael duffy. wednesday law makers hope to see energy secretary perry who is leaving his job at the end of the year, but his office says not unless it is an open hearing and even then he will only consider it. plus the acting omb director russell voegt. another possible know show on thursday former national security advisor bolton.

his lawyers say he won't voluntarily appear and are waiting for a subpoena. frustration is growing for the closed-door hearings. a letter was spent to speaker pelosi last night calling for all transcripts to be made public. even some democrats say that should happen sooner than later. >> the phase we're in right now is the deposition phase, where witnesses are called in to determine whether or not they have any information that's relevant to this case. at that point, we will move into the very public phase of hearings which frankly i do think is overdue, to be fair. >> house judiciary member andy biggs is calling on house intelligence chairman schiff to also face questioning. >> mr. schiff will tell you if he's honest that there's nothing that's going on in that top-secret room down in the basement of the capitol that there is nothing classified there, but he is still trying to prevent that from coming out. >> speaker pelosi says in the

coming weeks, they will be moving into more open hearings. she says they are looking into releasing transcripts soon. eric, although, no word exactly when that will be. eric: lauren, thank you very much. arthel? arthel: thank you. president trump naming the next acting homeland security secretary. the new job elevating wolf from his undersecretary position within the agency, to become the fifth person to lead dhs in three years. lucas tomlinson has more from washington. lucas? >> before departing for his rally in mississippi, president trump told reporters he has appointed chad wolf as acting secretary of the department of homeland security. >> i put in a very good man, who is highly respected, and he's acting right now. we will see where that goes. and as you know, john, as you know, i like acting. i mean, a lot of people say -- i like acting. it gives you great flexibility. . >> it is not clear when wolf would take over as acting dhs

chief, the federal government's third largest agency with over 240,000 employees. wolf will be the fifth person to hold this role in the trump white house. officials say president trump has no plans to nominate wolf to the job permanently. secretary wolf is the former chief of staff to former dhs secretary nielsen and risen through the ranks of dhs following the september 11th terrorist attacks. his nomination for undersecretary at dhs remains stalled in the senate. the currenting acting dhs secretary will remain in the job till veteran's day. currently the acting head of immigration services and seen as an immigration hard-liner is potential candidate to take over in the future. the coast guard has moved under dhs's purview to protect the ports. it is also responsible for enforcing the country's immigration laws the signature

issue for president trump's agenda in hopes for a second term in 2020. there are now at least ten acting secretaries and senior officials serving in president's cabinet. in washington, lucas tomlinson, fox news. eric: now to california where at least 13 wildfires continue to burn there. with red flag warnings still in effect for two southern california counties. meanwhile, governor newsom has some strong words for the utility company pg&e that's been mired in a bankruptcy case there, over those deadly wildfires that authorities say its equipment started last year. newsom saying the case done soon, they've got to get that done or the state, he says will step in. >> pg&e as we know it may or may not be able to figure this out. if they cannot, we are not going to sit around and be passive. eric: christina coleman is live in santa paula, california,

about 65 miles northwest of los angeles, where there's been a fire burning there as you can see. hi, christina? >> hi, eric. yes, you know, the power was shut down at hundreds of thousands of people in northern and southern california, as these strong santa ana winds move through the area, but the winds have calmed down, really giving firefighters a chance to get in here and get rid of some of this dry brush and clear out some of these hot spots that are still burning. we're in an orchard right now, an agricultural community, a hot of ranches and citrus and avocado groves. firefighters are working hard right now. this maria fire burned at least 9400 acres around here, threatened 2500 structures and burned down three homes since it started thursday evening while kids were out trick-or-treating. the fire was fuelled by the tail end of the strong santa ana winds that we have been experiencing. crews have made some good progress here since yesterday, on this fire. it's now 20% contained.

but we're not out of the clear just yet. >> as the wind shifts, we have whole new fuel bed that opens up and is subject to a pretty significant firefight. >> now this is video from when the maria fire started, on south mountain, just south of santa paula. utility company southern california edison says it reenergized a 16,000 bolt power line minutes before a nearby hill top went up in flames, leading to the maria fire. but the cause of this fire is still under investigation. you can just see out here right now that smoldering there. it is incredible the number of hot spots that are still burning. these firefighters have just been going from spot to spot, putting out these hot spots as quick as they can. and as for that red-flag warning, it's expected to last at least through 6:00 this evening here local time. eric?

eric: christina, those firefighters, they are putting out what was burning along there, is that smoldering that we see? >> yeah, there's a lot of embers that are still smoldering. you have a lot of hot spots out here. it just takes seconds for one of these embers to flare up. if the winds kick back up, they could spread fast and spark up another fire. they don't want that to happen. eric: absolutely. thank you. arthel? arthel: a fifth person has died from a halloween night shooting in northern california. shots ringing out during a party at an airbnb in san francisco in a suburb there. police are still searching for suspects as we learn more about the person who rented the place. jackie has more from our new york city newsroom. >> police have no suspects in custody and dealing with the grieve families of five victims as well as one upset homeowner. it hand at a rented mansion just outside of san francisco. more than 100 people were there

after local media reports someone circulated this post on social media promoting an air bnb mansion party. the property owner told the washington post he rented his house to a woman who claimed she was organizing a 12 person family reunion. the local affiliate further report the woman said she chose that location to escape smoke from nearby wildfires. the post reports the homeowner got some noise complaints from neighbors. he checked his security cameras and saw huge crowd so he called police. they were in route when the shooting happened. three people died at the scene. two more died at the hospital. the victim ages range from 19 to 29 years old. >> this is a party that had over 100 people in it. all of those people are potential witnesses to what happened. we're working to locate as many of those people as we can and obtain statements from them. >> police found two guns at the house, but so far have no respect suspects. -- have no suspects. today air bnb ceo says the

company will crack down on party houses because of this, in a series of tweets saying the air bnb company will increase manual screening for high risk reservations, create a dedicated -- house party, rather, rapid response team and take immediate action against users who violate their rules. he said in a tweet we must do better, and we will. this is unacceptable. both california governor newsom and senator harris responded to this incident by pushing for tougher gun control laws. eric? eric: all right, thank you very much. i will take it. meanwhile an impeachment vote passing along party lines in the house. so we're going to ask coming up what are the chances of an actual impeachment? what could happen in the senate? a full-blown public trial or as mitch mcconnell has hinted something much less.

>> this isn't about the speaker honoring her oath. it is not about the speaker honoring our constitution. it is about her honoring an enraged activist liberal base that gave her the gavel to make her speaker. this is about appeasing part of her conference that essentially rolled her into pursuing this

impeachment. eric: that's new york republican congressman on the house impeachment vote this week talking about nancy pelosi. no republican in a vote crossed the aisle to vote for it. two democrats did vote against it. this as the washington post reports some republican senators may now be willing to concede that president trump did have a quid pro quo with crew yan seeking to hold up -- ukraine seeking to hold up funds in an investigation into the bidens. but arguing that is not an impeachable offense. our white house correspondent is on the north lawn. the argument some senators might be willing to accept he did it but it is not illegal and not impeachable. do you think that's going to wash? >> i don't see that happening. i don't see that happening for a number of reasons, eric. first of all, the president as you know has maintained from the start that this was in his words a perfect call. there was no quid pro quo. no trade off of any kind and

those who speak on behalf of the president has also lined up behind the president in that regard. i don't think it would hold water with a number of moderate senators, murkowski from alaska, collins from maine, then you saw the pushback that mulvaney the white house chief of staff got when he essentially described a quid pro quo, a trade off during that white house briefing, just a few weeks ago. so i think the president, i think the people that support the president, his allies in congress will stick by what the president has said, that there was no trade off of any kind between the u.s. and ukraine. eric: you have these reports that are floating. what's behind them? saying well there was no criminal intent, you have to show a corrupt intent and he didn't have a corrupt intent, he was just trying to seek an investigation of what he thought was corruption. >> well, you have this phone call which has been described by the president as being transcribed. it is actually a very good summary of the phone call the

president had on july 25th with president zelensky of ukraine. speaking as a lawyer, i looking at that summary do not see evidence of a crime on the president's part, anything that rises to the level of an impeachable offense on the part of the president. was it perfect? i don't think so. was it inappropriate? yes. but i don't think it rises to the level of a criminal act on the part of the president. i think that's the sort of line that we're hearing to a certain extent from certain members who are defending the president out there, when they are confronted with the idea do you support the president in a sense that this was a perfect phone call? it is very difficult for a member of congress who is a republican to say yes, i do, but at the same time, what's contained in that summary is not criminal the way it is presented. eric: why do you come to that conclusion? there are parts dot dot dot where clearly they left stuff out. there are have been reports that

they left some stuff out. why have you come to the conclusion you have reached? >> the conclusion i have come to is based upon the fact is that based on that summary of the phone call, there is no contained in that summary a quid pro quo. there's nothing contained in there that's something for something. in other words, you mr. president zelensky will investigate my political opponent namely joe biden, in return, i will release that 400 million dollars in military assistance to you that's already been appropriated by congress. nothing is contained in that so-called transcript that we've seen, that summary of the phone call that we've seen that indicates that. now, this phone call obviously was problematic for a number of individuals, including lieutenant colonel alexander -- eric: vindman? >> vindman, who sits on the national security kouns stoil the degree he brought up to the

chief lawyer on the national security council who in turn put it on a secure server. this was not a perfect phone call obviously. was it criminal? according to timothy morrison another individual who listened in on the phone call, he did not believe so. he did not believe it rose to the level of criminality on the part of president trump. eric: but for an impeachment, we're told you don't need a crime. you don't need a criminality. you just need high crimes and misdemeanors or something that is unbecoming and against the constitution and the oath that the president took for the united states. let me play you a sound bite of adam schiff because democrats would certainly disagree with your assessment. here's mr. schiff. >> in both clinton and the nixon impeachments, the minority did not have the right to call witnesses on their own unilaterally. they could call for a vote but it was a majority vote that they were not assured of winning. we would love to hear if they are interested in having come before the committee but given the kind of circus like tactics,

the storming and all these stunts that the president puts them up to, we can't surrender the process to the minority party. eric: he's talking about the process. john, an impeachment vote, then it goes to the senate. and we're having indications that the majority leader, you know, under the law, they take up impeachment, but we don't know if that means a full scale long impeachment trial, like president clinton had, that lasted two and a half months, is there any expectation on what this will be? you know, could the republican senate take a look at this and throw it out in one day, or spend two months like with the full complete trial, like the previous? >> yeah, i think that the majority leader has given every indication that it would be not a short circuited process, as it relates to what takes place in the senate. we will see a trial, if indeed these articles of impeachment are voted out by the house, which seems likely, certainly by the end of the year, we would indeed have a trial similar to

what we saw back in 1999, that ended in early 1999, in february of 99, of course with the acquittal of president clinton. i think that we would see something very similar to that, perhaps in duration as well coming under senate majority leader mcconnell when he takes that up once it gets to the senate. eric: i know this is a big one. what do you predict? how do you see this rolling out? what do you expect? >> well, based upon the facts that we have right now, and more could come out, but based upon the facts we have right now, the second day of november, i think that what we saw in the house, which was unity among republicans will hold true in the senate, even among those individuals in the republican ranks who are up for reelection, they are going to stick by the president, and so as a result, likely, an acquittal in the u.s. senate if it gets that far, eric. i think the way things stand right now, on november 2nd, not

knowing what other facts may come out in the weeks, months ahead. eric: all right john decker who covers the white house so aidly for us here at fox news. good to see you. >> good to see you. arthel: as the president's impeachment inquiry moves into the next phase, our capitol hill senior producer explains how a senate trial might work. >> the constitution says little about how the senate conducts an impeachment trial. article i section 6 of the constitution says the senate quote has the sole power to try impeachments. the chief justice presides and it takes a two thirds vote to convict. >> under the impeachment rules of the senate, we'll take the matter up. the chief justice will be in the chair. we intend to do our constitutional responsibility. >> but on cnbc mcconnell took a different tack. >> i would have no choice but to take it up. how long you are on it is a whole different matter >> i've covered mcconnell for a long time now. i have learned to parse his

language. he usually says exactly what he means. the senate would have to take up articles of impeachment, but nobody knows for how long. consider this. senate impeachment rule one says the senate quote shall immediately inform the house that it's ready to receive the articles. that involves a vote. then the house sends over the articles along with a team of managers, house members who serve as prosecutors. senate impeachment rule two says the senate recognizes the house's impeachment managers and the articles shall be exhibited. that means the senate reads the impeachment articles aloud on the floor. now the senate has quote taken up impeach for as mcconnell says how long, 67 votes are needed to quash one of the impeachment rules but just 51 votes are required to dismiss the charges. legendary west virginia senator tried to dismiss the charges against president clinton in 99 and failed on a roll call vote. that's largely because then senate majority leader and

minority leader got all senators together in the old senate chamber to establish ground rules for clinton's trial even if senator's disagreed on the president's guilt or innocence, they decided to stick with the agreement despite the effort to short circuit the trial. it is hard to imagine how all 100 senators could agree on special arrangements for a possible trial of president trump in today's super charged atmosphere. the senate has never terminated an impeachment trial before its conclusion, but in 2009, the senate flushed articles of impeachment for federal judge samuel kent. kent resigned after the house impeached him, but the senate never conducted a trial. an impeachment trial ends with a vote. all 100 senators rise and vote verbally from their desks when their name is called in alphabetical order, 67 yeas are needed to convict and remove an official from the office. if the house impeaches president trump, the senate will at least have to take it up. but what happens after presenting the articles of impeachment is far from clear.

>> we really are in the battle for the soul of the country. this is not who we are the way this man and this administration is conducting world affairs and/or affairs at home, the things he says, the way he talks about people is just -- it's just disgraceful. as my grandmother used to say, if you spoke like that, we would wash your mouth out with soap. eric: that's former vice president joe biden of course setting his sights on president trump as he campaigns in iowa. several other candidates have descended on iowa today. they are atending a political fish fry. among them are senator warren. she is defending her newly

controversial released plan to fund medicare for all. that's come under fire from some of her democratic rivals. matt finn is in cedar rapids, live with the very latest on what they are doing and what they are saying today. hi, matt. >> hi, eric. we are at a classic iowa fish fry, the famous community meals are used as an opportunity in the presidential elections to host candidates and forums. you can see on the stage right now is senator kamala harris who is talking to local union leaders. this particular fish fry is hosted by democratic congresswoman. major democratic front-runners have taken to the stage including congresswoman klobuch klobuchar, senator sanders and vice president biden making their appeal to the first in the nation voters. part of a jam-packed political weekend here in iowa, less than 100 days until the country's first caucus. perhaps the biggest topic this weekend, warren's newly unveiled

52 trillion dollars medicare for all plan, being widely criticized as fundamentally impossible. biden has been attacking it all weekend here in iowa saying it is attacks on middle class and will end private healthcare. warren defends it saying it won't cost the middle class a penny. a short while ago she said democrats have to fight for big ideas, like hers or they are going to lose. >> the way i believe that we're going to win as democrats, we've got to be out there to talk about big ideas. we've got to give people a reason to show up. >> senator kamala harris campaign is now saying it is placing all of its resources into the state of iowa, even closing campaign offices in new hampshire, so it is all or nothing for senator kamala harris who is on the stage right now. another big talker this weekend beto o'rourke, suddenly dropping out of the race yesterday, just a few hours before the very

critical liberty and justice dinner here in iowa. eric? eric: matt, thank you very much. arthel? arthel: eric, thank you. isis names a new leader following the death of abu al baghdadi, during a u.s. raid in northern syria last sunday. for more on this and the terror group threat of revenge ton united states, let's bring in the author hunting the caliphate america's war on isis and the dawn of the strike cell. retired army major general david picard also the initial u.s. commander on the ground fighting isis in iraq in 2014. general, thank you for being here with us. >> good afternoon, arthel. arthel: absolutely. so we're just reporting here that the new leader released a 1200 world communique, threatening revenge on the u.s. how seriously do you take this threat? >> i think we should take that threat very seriously. now, isis has been dealt, you know, a catastrophic blow with the death of al baghdadi, but

isis is still a dangerous and lethal terrorist network. isis still has global ambitions. now, they lack some of the capabilities they had before. in fact, many of the capabilities they had before, but they're still a dangerous terrorist network. so we should take that threat seriously. arthel: if you were to surmise and based on your expertise, what or who is the likely target? >> what they would like is to target i'm sure the west and america. but their capabilities are more likely going to be regional. since they are no longer the territory -- territorial and geographic caliphate that they used to be, they're probably only capable of doing hit-and-run drill activities, car bombings, and assassination attempts. but they still have the capability of radicalizing individuals in different countries. so i guess my advice to us here in america would be to be aware

and prepared. arthel: uh-huh. i want to circle back to that. saying they are not as organized as they used to be, could they join forces, say with al qaeda to create a more threatening terror army? >> they could, they could. they still have thousands of fighters that are in the region, and isis can still appear in failed states, in areas where there's ungoverned spaces. so they could actually do that. arthel: seeing as you are thinking whatever retaliation that they might be able to take in the more immediate sense, at this point, you are saying it would be in the region. what is the u.s. strategy, or what should bit there in the region, you know, syria, turkey, iraq, iran? >> well, number one is to work with our allies and others who have an interest in seeing isis completely defeated, whether that's turkey, whether that's

iraq, even iran, russia and syria and others. working together to have the final defeat of isis. a long-term strategy, that's something that i would hope president trump and his advisors are working on. that's something we haven't seen a whole government approach which includes not just the military, but diplomatic, informational, economic and other means, overall, as a long-term strategy for the region. arthel: you mentioned how isis has -- still has a really good operation in terms of radicalizing the so-called lone wolfs. how prolific and prevalent are sleeper cells here in the u.s.? >> it's been reported that there are some, so that's again where we need to be aware and prepared. so between our national security apparatus as well as state and local authorities, but, you know, i have faith in the

american people, and the american citizens who are aware and prepared, i mean, that is a combat multiplier. so if you see something that doesn't look right, something suspicious, tell your local authorities and police. that's one way of really, really being able to thwart this. arthel: right. so when, you know, local authorities in major cities, it could happen anywhere, hopefully nothing happens, but when you are talking about putting a plan in place to protect the homeland, you know, you are right, it does call on citizens to if they see something to say something, and not to worry so much about being politically correct. >> again, if you see something suspicious, then report it. again, there's nothing like a populous, nern -- the american people who are informed and

prepared. arthel: killing baghdadi was no doubt a big deal, a major accomplishment, however, it was my understanding that he was already less effective and contained. so was killing him like striking the hornet's nest? >> i don't think i would quite use that analogy. in fact, killing him was good as far as being symbolic that the geographical territorial owning caliphate had already been defeated. killing al baghdadi was really symbolic of that. for the last couple of years the isis leaders have been less effective and in some cases irrelevant because they have been more concerned about their own safety than leading isis. that's where we want them. the momentum must continue and continue to kill our capture the other isis -- kill or capture other isis leaders. arthel: i'm glad to hear what you said. it is not the hornet's nest analogy but it is the symbolism of killing him which is very very crucial.

>> absolutely. arthel: it is nice to talk to you and i look forward to speaking to you again, sir. >> thank you. eric: several signs that point to the economy staving off a slowdown. that's good news. but how long could it last? we will tell you. i'm your cat. ever since you brought me home, that day. i've been plotting to destroy you. sizing you up... calculating your every move. you think this is love? this is a billion years of tiger dna just ready to pounce. and if you have the wrong home insurance coverage, you could be coughing up the cash for this. so get allstate and be better protected from mayhem, like me-ow. to earn j.d. power chevdependability awards...ter protected from mayhem, across cars... trucks... and suvs. four years in a row. since more than 32,000 real people... just like me. and me. and me. took the survey that decided these awards.

it was only right that you hear the good news from real people... like us. i'm daniel. i'm casey. i'm julio. only chevy has earned j.d. power dependability awards across cars, trucks and suvs. four years in a row.

i felt i couldn't be at my best for my family. in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems.

common side effects include headache and tiredness. with hep c behind me, i feel free... ...fearless... ...and there's no looking back, because i am cured. talk to your doctor about mavyret. eric: jobs numbers and corporate profits soothing fears of economic slowdown, at least for now. the october jobs report released yesterday exceeding expectations, but the economy adding 128,000 jobs. the employment rate as you can see ticking slightly to 3.6%. but still a 50 year low. what does this mean? robert wolf, fox news contributor, former economic advisor to president obama. so robert, you know, what does this mean? you get everything month to month. you see this continuing. sometimes you hear there's a slowdown. where are we? >> i don't want to be negative.

i would say the glass is half full. that number was better than expectations. it's been below the average. we've been averaging about 165,000 this year. last year in 2018 we were averaging about 225,000. so the job sector is slowing. eric, as we were chatting before, we have had a slowdown in manufacturing and retail. so, you know, it's -- no disrespect to the president, we're not in the greatest economy ever. eric: it is like a mixed bag in other words. >> it is a mixed bag. i mean the farm belt obviously we've had two bailouts. i think that the whole idea of tariffs and trade has really slowed down business investment. we've had back-to-back quarters on slowdowns of business investment, which is a contraction. and i think most importantly, gdp has slowed to around 1 1/2 to 2 percent, so we're not at 3, 4 percent that we saw during the year of the tax cut. eric: what does this mean going forward? what do you foresee for the rest of this year and next year? >> i think we're going to

continue to see consumer spending. consumer and the services sector has been what's really kept the economy afloat and doing well. i think you're going to continue to see wages kind of -- you know, i hope continue to move up, but they are going to probably stay around 3% increase, gdp will probably stay below 2% which is chugging along. i don't see us going into a recession. we will probably continue to be the best economy, you know, there is, throughout the globe. and i think personally speaking, corporate profits are doing well, but it's what do they do with their money? eric: yeah. >> dividends and buying back stocks have been buoyant for the marketplace, but it hasn't necessarily been great for skills and training. we still have 7 million people unemployed looking for jobs. eric: 7 million, i mean, that's amazing. the president said this about the economy last night. >> to get relief to working families, we passed massive tax

cuts, on average 2,000 to 2,500 dollars per family bringing almost 1 trillion dollars back home to our shores. what's happening you couldn't get the money, the big companies they couldn't get their money back. eric: the president of course boasting about the economy and the good condition that we are in. he said the magic word tax cuts. there's discussion today that the white house may roll out some tax cuts for the election year, for the 2020 election. do you expect that? what do you think? >> i don't think we will see a tax cut in 2020. i think we will see a lot of talk about a tax cut. i don't think a tax cut can get passed. the last tax cut was really a deficit spent tax cut. we had a tax cut that caused a deficit of over a trillion dollars. although i'm for tax reform, i'm not really sure we saw a great trickle down economy happening. eric: do you think we can get a handle on that deficit? we haven't heard about the deficit issue for a while. >> you know, i feel sometimes i'm to the right of all these fiscal conservatives. what happened to their pay as

you go? what happened to this idea that when you're going to spend money, you actually make sure you can pay for it. so it's going to be very interesting. you know, when they were predicting this tax cut, what it would do for revenues, they were predicting 5 plus percent growth. we're not seeing that. that's why we're seeing the deficit. now we're at 1 1/2 to 2 percent. eric: that means it's something they have to tackle. >> yes. eric: robert wolf, thank you. arthel: hello to robert's mother who is watching us. >> thank you very much. arthel: absolutely. hong kong falling into recession as violent protests rocks the economy. how the government is responding. that is up next.

arthel: tear gas filling the streets of hong kong has police clash with antigovernment protesters today. demonstrators setting fire to metro stations and vandalizing buildings. ryan chilcote has the latest developments. ryan? >> arthel, many of the demonstrators were scared off by the tear gas that the police were using but not all. angry protesters made their way through hong kong streets attacking the police with molotov cocktails, vandalizing shops they felt were sympathetic

to china's central government broadly speaking unleashing chaos. these protests have been going on for five months, by the look of things, the protesters are only getting more audacious. bear in mind, hong kong is part of china, but it is semiautonomous. the protests began over some legislation that would have allowed beijing to extradite people from hong kong to mainland china but the protests are now about much more than that. the demonstrators want more autonomy and they are appalled at how beijing has reacted to their demands. this is causeway bay. it is effectively hong kong's time square. remarkably you can actually see the tear gas enveloping whole streets. in a fist of these protests -- first of these protests, they broke into the headquarters of china official news agency in hong kong and trashed it. now, november the 24th is a big date later this month to keep your eye on. that's when hong kong will have local elections, and those local

elections will be an excellent opportunity to measure the strength of the pro democracy candidates that are running in it and this protest movement behind them. it's also a date where given what we have seen so far, likely to see more violence on the streets. arthel? arthel: all right, ryan chilcote, thank you very much. eric? eric: back here at home, the fight is on in washington as the white house says it is preparing for impeachment. what is the next move for house democrats in that growing probe? at this point, i don't make compromises. i want nutrition made just for me. but i also want great taste. so i drink boost for women. new boost women with key nutrients to help support thyroid, bone, hair and skin health. ..

action. president trump: this is one i never thought it would be involved with. impeachment. to me it's a dirty word. we have never had greater support than we have right now. it's true. >> this is not about his personality or policies. that's for the elections to decide. this business our honor, our oath of office. whether he's honoring his oath of office to protect and defend the constitution of the united states. eric: laura blanchard standing by in the washington bureau. >> nancy pelosi says she wants to make things as transparent as possible. but president trump average members of the republican party say they are not sure if she means that. they say americans have been in

the dark the entire time. president trump was down in tupelo, mississippi for a keep america great again rally, and he used this impeachment ordeal as a rallying cry for his supporters. >> to me it's a dirty word, not a good word. totally phoney deal. they not, everybody knows it. that's why we have never had greater support than we do right now. >> they voted to move forward with the current impeachment inquiry. the president's press secretary said yesterday on fox news that white house officials are prepared for the worst case scenario. >> we are hopeful everybody will come to their senses and realize the president did nothing wrong,

but we are prepared for an impeachment to happen. nancy pelosi made it very, very clear the house democrats are going to vote. reporter: pelosi said she is in the investigation stage. she has not announced anything about a formal impeachment vote on the house floor. president trump is going to leave in an hour and a half, two hours to watch a ufc championship fight. he will be back here tomorrow at the white house. but a busy week at capitol hill. the president and his staff will be watching it closely. arthel: democrats are forging ahead with the inquiry, inviting three more top white house officials to testify in closed sessions next week. house speaker nancy pelosi says she expects public hearings to begin later this month.

>> there are a number of hearings scheduled, but they are not guaranteed. speaker pelosi says while the process will start to become more public, that's not good enough for many republicans. liz cheney sent a letter to speaker pelosiing a for the release of all transcripts in the inquiry saying the selective leaking in which the house committee has been earn gaged must end immediately. lawmakers are expecting the department of energy and management and budget michael duffy. rick per yims office says he won't appear unless it's an open hearing. another possible no-show on

thursday, former national security advicor john bolton. -- security advisor, john bolton. >> the question is, does she think he's going to testify or not testify? he has become a witness in this case because of his connection to the whistleblower and his staff's connection. >> as much as there is scrutiny, i think it's fair the republicans ought not come to the conclusion that no matter what the evidence shows, president trump will be exonerated. reporter: speaker pelosi said they are looking into releasing the transcripts of the testimony so far.

eric: president trump naming chad wolf to take over as secretary of homeland security. reporter: before departing for his rally in mississippi, president trump told chad that he nominated chad wolf for department of homeland security. president trump: john, as you know, i like acting. a lot of people say -- i like acting. it gives you have great flexibility. reporter: it's not clear when wolf will take over as acting chief. officials say president trump has no plans to nominate wolf to

the job permanently. he was a deputy to kirstjen nielsen. his nomination for undersecretary of policy is stalled in the senate. the current acting secretary will remain on the job until veterans day. ken cuccinelli is a potential candidate to take over in the future. at its creation dhs was focused on counter-terrorism. dhs is also responsible for enforcing the country's immigration laws. there are at least 10 acting secretaries and senior officials serving in president trump's cabinet. >> powerful winds dying down in

southern california but the region still remains under a red flag warning as 13 separate fires burn across the state. governor newsom is slamming potential power outages meant to decrease fire risk. >> you have to understand the life impacts, the economic and social that sometimes put lives at risk and arguably in even more significant ways than a sparked line. arthel: christina coleman is in santa paula near where the fires sparked to life. reporter: the firefighters have been working around the clock to try to put out hotpots. a couple of them behind me, they have been climbing up these ash-covered hills, getting deep in there and trying to burn out

the hotpots. they are put water on there and do everything they can to get that fire under control. it only takes seconds for the embers to spark another wildfire. the marina fire burned 9,500 acres, and the fire burned three homes since it started thursday evening while kids were trick-or-treating. the fire was fueled by the tail end of the strong santa ana winds we have been experiencing here. crews made good progress on this fire. it's 20% contained. but we are not out of the clear just yet. >> there is still cause for caution and concern. we are not out of the woods yet. as the wind shifts we have a whole new fuel bed that opens up and subject to a significant

fire fight. reporter: this is video of when the maria fire started. southern california edison said it re-energized its power line minutes before a hill went up in flames and led to this maria fire. as of now we have that red flag warning and,200 firefighters around this d done we have 1,200 firefighters around this brush. they will do that long after this fire is put out, just to make sure that everything is safe around here because they don't want to lose any more property. this fire threatened 2,300 structures and burned down three

homes. eric: airbnb says it's banning house parties. it learned the renter in that case lied to the host about why she was booking that property. hi, jackie. >> the swift action from airbnb comes as they expect to announce an initial public offering in 2020. five people are dead and the homeowner and their neighbors are very injury set. the shooting happened at a million dollar rented mansion in orinda, california. someone posted this on social media. the man said he rented the home to a woman who said she was hosting a family reaction.

she said she chose that location to avoid smoke from the' fires. three people died at the scene. two more died at the hospital. victims range from 19-20 years old. >> the house was not designed to hold 100 people had at least 100 people trying to flee it on the windy streets. so when the officers arrived it was a chaotic scene and a lot of noise and yelling and people running. reporter: police found two guns at the house but have no suspects? custody. in a series of tweets, airbnb will created dedicated party house rapid response team and

take action against users who violate the rules. airbnb said the listing did have specific house rules banning parties. the california governor and senator harris pushed for tougher gun control laws. arthel: the white house doubling down, insisting the president didn't do anything wrong in his call with the ukrainian president. president trump said he might revive fireside chats and read the transcript of that call on tv. is that net carbs or total? eh, not enough fiber. chocolate would be good. snacking should be sweet and simple. the delicious taste of glucerna gives you the sweetness you crave while helping you manage your blood sugar. glucerna. everyday progress.

>> don't you think the better procedure would have been to have this out in the open from the beginning and not just selectively leak and by extension lie about what did and did not happen? how are you going to put the genie back in the bottle? arthel: the white house insisting the president did nothing wrong on the ukrainian call. this as president trump tells the "washington examiner" this over a phone call that's a good

call. at some point i will sit down for a fireside chat and read the transcript. when you right, it's a straight call. lauren blanchard just reported on this last night. liz cheney from wyoming wrote a letter to the speaker asking for the release of transcripts of depositions that have already taken place behind closed doors. do you think speaker pelosi will comply? if she doesn't, will this diminish the potency and relevancy of the upcoming hearings? >> we heard from house chairman adam schiff that those transcripts could be released as

early as next week. i don't know if speaker pelosi will be responding to liz cheney. but they set out to say they would be releasing these transcripts. arthel: the plans in the works is what you are saying. >> yes. arthel: they plan to call back some of the people who test fired in the closed door sessions to testify in the public hearings. do you have think that will quell the arguments that the democrats have been holding hearings in secret? >> i think one of the main complaints of republicans is the president and his counsel have not been able to question or offer any defense. in these hearings they are planning to hold in the house intelligence committee, that will remain the key. arthel: the public part of this, if republican lawmakers plan to

just hammer the process providing no defense for the president. how will that read in open hearings? >> not as well as it has right now. once the public is collude in on everything that happened. especially when we get a sense of what happened. it's been 100 hours of depositions. once we start to have those hearings that krm -- that argumt won't connect with americans if it is rye now. they are really going to have to plan a strategic defense of the president to kind of make the case. arthel: how might the open hearings work against the democrats? >> well, depending on what we heard. but what happened in all of these closed door testimonies. we know top lines from some of these, but there is a lot we don't know. each day we had these

testimonies, republicans said some of this testimony could work in their favor. we just saw the last one with morrison that didn't necessarily believe anything the president did was necessarily illegal. depending on what some of these witnesses said in these testimonies, it will change how we viewed impeachment. this is the next phase. it will be a long phase. but it's going to change a lot of how everything has been going. arthel: president trump told the "washington examiner" thursday he may release the transcript as a fireside chat. >> provide the climax of a decade of international immorality. powerful and resourceful gangsters have banded together to make war upon the whole human race. their challenge has now been flung at the united states of

america. arthel: for context, president trump is channel our 32nd president, franklin delano roosevelt who for 11 years during world war ii and a time of uncertainly would address the country on evening radio. this was to silence rumors and explain this policies. president trump was said to have exuded self-assurance to the american public. how would a fireside chat from president trump pan out. >> they are likely to be very, very different from what you heard from roosevelt. this was a time of the great depression, offering americans reassurance. president trump is likely to offer a defense for himself. probably a speech outlining that he thinks he did nothing wrong and this impeachment inquiry is

a hoax. the problem is the president likes to be off script. he likes to ad-lib many things in his rallies. if he does do that, it could lead to more headlines that may not be so flattering. the stakes couldn't be higher for the president at this particular moment. so anything he says could be used against him. arthel: regardless of the format, will we see an actual transcript, not just the summary that has been released thus far regarding that july 25 phone call. >> democrats don't seem to underred in harping down on the content that was not in that call. the little details that were not included in the summary didn't change the context of the call. but i am sure they would love to have one if one exists.

the up are you was compiled from a variety of notes. i am sure democrats would love to get a fuller idea of that call. eric: the trump administration reportedly agreeing to pay california $846,000 over the administration's failed attempt to add the citizenship question to the 2020 census. the supreme court struck down the administration's reason for including that question, calling it contrived. the settlement will cover legal costs and related costs incurred by that state. arthel: joe biden is in iowa today where recent polls show a tightening of the polls.

surprise! a new buick? for me? to james, from james. that's just what i wanted. is this a new buick? i secret santa-ed myself. i shouldn't have. but i have been very good this year. i love it...i love it... this year, turn black friday into buick friday, all month long. current eligible non-gm owners and lessees get 20% below msrp on most of these 2019 buick models.

>> the tax laws would give us $2 trillion. we asked the big corporations who hide their money in offshore country whereas they don't get taxed to pay taxes on that. ask the billionaires to pay a little more. i'm in favor of that. they are doing okay. arthel: a new poll shows elizabeth warren leading the polls in iowa. it's just 3 months before the state holds its first 2020 caucus. reporter: this is as iowa as it gets. saturday afternoon fish fry. the famous community meals are

used to host presidential candidates. congressman john delaney is answering questions from local union leaders. we heard from biden, klobuchar, warn and sanders. pete biewpt judge just wrapped up. less than 100 days until the country's first caucus. senator elizabeth warren's newly unveiled $52 trillion medicare for all plan. biden says it will end private healthcare. warren said it won't cost the middle class a penny and democrats will lose without a plan. >> getting that plan through even a democratic congress would be difficult. we can --

>> the way i believe we are going to win as democrats, we have to be out there to talk about big ideas. we need to give people a reason to show up. reporter: the big talker all weekend is beto o'rourke suddenly dropping out of the race. senator kamala harris is putting all her resources here saying they don't see a path forward without iowa. arthel: did you get some fries? >> we did, and some cupcakes, too. eric: turkey announcing it wants to send those isis prisoners back to their home countries. this as the turkish prime

minister blasts other nations for not doing enough to fight isis. new reports say 100 isis terrorists escaped. and the rest remain locked down. joining us, mark, do you think the countries will take their citizens back who joined isis? do they have any choice? >> i think they are reluctant to take back these isis fighters because many of them are hardened terrorists who could find themselves released back into the european society and become terrorists again. it's hard to separate the incorrigible from the

corrigible. he created havoc by invading syria forcing the kurds to fight against his military rather than keeping isis under lock and key. another europeans will have to take these prisoners back into european territory or help the kurds build appropriate facilities and provide them with the financing to keep these prisoners where they are. but the europeans will have to pull their weight. eric: there are 2,500 we believe from the european country. in france, what does turkey do with them? do they get due process if they

are considered terrorists? do they get a gitmo * situation? >> france doesn't have gitmo. the bush administration made a wise decision. it's difficult to deal with them through the normal legal processes. that's why the french don't want them back. some of these terrorists may end up getting released and becoming terrorists again. the french really want those prisoners to stay where they are. if they do they will have to help the kurds and work with our administration in stopping erdogan from invading this territory and fighting the kurds who are otherwise our last line of defense. eric: why doesn't erdogan step up and turkey build the prisons. he's responsible for it now.

he's pushing on that 20-mile safety zones. the kurds are the victims in this. why does he turkey step up and take responsibility. >> erdogan should be stepping up. but he's use these isis prisoners and all refugees as a threat against europe. he's threatening to unleash thesing refugees, sending them to europe. europe faced a massive refugee crisis over the fast few years. the european security services in some respects are our last line of defense against a terrorist jumping on a plane paris or frankfurt or london and flying washington, chicago and new york. the overburdened security services are our last line of defense. the last thing we want is a refugee crisis.

eric: you justo just mentioned the threat of terrorism. the state department report that has come out yesterday about all this. homegrown terrorists inspired by isis ideology planned and executed attacks against'en' public spaces. iran remains the world's worst start sponsor of terrorism. iran has spent $1 billion per year to support terrorist groups that serve as its proxies and expand its malign influence across the globe. do you think iran will ever get the message? do you think iran will change their behavior? do you think the mullahs and the

bureaucracy in tehran will pull back from this radical jihadist philosophy that has spread terrorism across the world? >> i don't. i think it's important to draw a distinction between the iranian people who despise this dictatorship and want a free and prosperous life. and having to deal with a regime that practices aggression abroad. they spend billions of dollars supporting terrorism. they are the leading state sponsor of terrorism this year and they have been for many years. they have the resources as an oil-rich state to spawn this kind of malign activity. they threatened me, they threatened my organization. and they are a regime that

threatens all americans because they are trying to build nuclear weapons and the interballistic missiles to deliver them. eric: plots in europe and plots right here on u.s. soil convicted allegedly they say by tehran. mark, thank you. arthel: another apparent provocation from north korea as the rogue regime test fires a new rocket launcher. what message is kim jong-un sending to washington, and how could the u.s. respond? how do you make red lobster's

arthel: north korea test firing two short-range missiles and

conducting a third test of its super large multiple rocket launcher. it claims that launcher is capable of surprise attacks on enemy targets. it comes before a deadline set by pyongyang to wrap up talks with washington. the author of "the coming collapse of china." steve bedin is set to become the next deputy secretary of state. >> he's the president's acting director to ukraine. the north koreans don't want to

talk to us. he can be number two at the state department and the special rep on north korea at the same time. arthel: you saying north korea does not want to talk to us. >> you believe president trump had more successful u.s. policies than any other president. >> at that time the north koreans were making all the concessions and we were making none. president trump let up the gas on north korea sanctions. it's getting all the money it needs. kim jong-un has seen no incentive to deal with us in good faith. he's improving his nuclear weapons arsenal and we are not putting any real block on him. >> why doesn't he want to talk

to the u.s. at this point in time. >> the block would be strict sanctions enforcement. also on the chinese, the russians, and to a lesser extent on the south koreans. arthel: we keep hearing this. does it really work? >> it will if the u.s. exercises political will. president trump gave a signal he was going to do that in june of 2017 when he cut off a small chinese bank from the global system. but the banks have been handling kim jong-un's cash and we haven't gone after them. we haven't even fined them. of course, the chinese will continue to support the north koreans because there is anybody who season tough not to do so. kim jong-un is thinking he's got almost everything he wants.

arthel: you mentioned the two short-range missiles. we started off talking about the third time he tested a new massive multiple launcher. are these bona fide threats? >> of course they are a threat. he's got south korea. you have gowvment s. forces all over the place. kim jong-un has a missile that can reach the entire american homeland. he tested that in november of 2017. i'm sure what they have been doing since that time is adjusting the telemetry. the north koreans have been making progress on their missiles and their nukes. even though there has been no formal test. arthel: what happens next? you say the president or administration had not been firm

enough on sanctions against north korea, china and whoever else is funneling money to north korea. but it's not happening according to your report. why isn't it happening? what's really the answer? we seem to be going on a treadmill on this thing. >> he has given theouts a deadline at the end of this year. if he does something like detonate in the atmosphere, and until president trump changes his policies, the north koreans will do all this stuff and we are just watching from the sidelines. it's up to the white house to change their policies. arthel: does that mean what more could be done, more and stricter

sanctions? >> that's all he need to do. if you cut off all the cash to kim jong-un, he has to face the charge of giving up his missiles and nukes to keep power. we haven't forced him to make that choice. trump can do it if he wants to. but right now he's not doing it. arthel: gordon chang, thank you. eric: protests in hong kong with untensifying as protesters clash with police causing disruptions in the heart of that city. so i can buy from enterprise car sales and you'll take any trade-in? that's right! great! here you go... well, it does need to be a vehicle. but - i need this out of my house.

eric: hong kong is seeing a new wave of clashes in the streets. confrontations shutting down a major shopping area. reporter: many of those protesters were scared away by that tear gas. but not all of them. mass protesters moved through the streets of hong kong, throwing molotov cocktails at police earlier today.

the protests have been going on for five months and by the look of things, the protests are getting more and more violent. hong kong is part of china, but it's autonomous. the protests started when china wanted to extradite people from hong kong and bring them into the chinese system. they are appalled by how beijing has reacted to their demand. this is causeway bridge. protesters broke into the headquarters of the official chinese news agency and made a mess of the place. beijing independent kaitd they intend to bring the protests to an end.
