part of winter. it takes your mind off being cold. so i don't get it. >> all right, thank you. always a pleasure, thanks for joining us. i'm julie banderas, here's trace. >> just a fate. he throws a fit. >> trace: our reporting again begins with a fox urgent. the shooter who killed at least three people at a naval air station in pencil of pensacola, florida, was in aviation student from saudi arabia. the suspect apparently opened fire in a classroom building. officials say responding sheriff deputies killed the shooter and were wounded in the shoot-out. they are expected to survive. >> there are some real heroism today. it made me -- i'm devastated, we are in shock. this is surreal. but i could be prouder to wear the uniform that i wear because of my brothers and sisters in uniform civilian or otherwise that did what they did today to

save lives. >> this is the second shooting at a naval facility this week. phil keating, how many foreign nationals are trading training at the station? >> the base commander the past hour just estimated it was in the hundreds. part of a long-standing international agreement between the u.s. military as well as its allies and, that dates all the way back to world war ii. he also added that guns are not allowed onto the naval air station property except for military police and security officers and the weapon used today was not a rifle, it was a handgun somehow or another smuggled in. naval air station pensacola, it remains on lock down and will be cleared at building by building. so far there's no evidence of this was more than just one shooter. not only is the shooter dead, but also three other people who

were there on the base. eight people wounded were taken to a local hospital. the sheriff along with florida governor ron desantis just spoke about an hour ago outside the base calling it a very dark day. >> unfortunately that training was put to the test today. i will tell you. it's hard to speak to you without tearing up. i could not be prouder of the men and women. even though they knew there was an active shooter and the chances of putting her life in danger are great, guess where they went? they went inside. the best of our community was on scene today. >> the fbi was investigating whether this possibly could be a shooting that is terrorism related. however, a florida republican congressman matt katz is not waiting for the fbi's ruling, declaring himself via his own tweet that it is terrorism related. >> trace: so far none of the

names of the victims have been released. >> that's correct or the name of the shooter himself. members of the family members involved here are still being notified. just within the past hour saudi arabia's king solomon called him sending his condolences to all involved and call today's actions "barbaric" and in no way, shape, or form does today's actions represent the feelings of the saudi people who he said loved the american people. >> phil keating live for us in southern florida. jeffrey gosch is a facilities manager at pensacola naval base. thank you for joining us. you are on your way into work when this happened. describe the scene. >> and one or two police cars

came by with the sirens, that was a 200 yards from the gate and suddenly it was dozens and dozens and dozens of emergency vehicles. racing down we knew something was big time going on. were they followed? >> i believe they were but i certainly would never presume to speak for the navy. i'm just a contractor employee out there and that's my capacity as a complete, employee out there. and i have worked out there for a number of years as a contractor employee and i tell you they take safety very seriously. they trained for it and, no matter where you are on the basis, if something like this happens they notify people.

immediately they were locked down and they were safe because of the training. >> some 10,000 people getting to work, it had to be difficult for the first responders. >> lucky for us because of navy boulevard being the main artery, there's very few people coming off the station. the first responders had a clear path. and, we got to go, we have president trump right now. >> families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack and took place just recently, just this morning in pensacola, florida, the king said that the saudi

people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter and that this person in no way, shape, or form represents the feelings of the saudi people who love the american people so much. so that was just given to me by the king of saudi arabia and i can tell you, it's a horrible thing that took place. and to get into bottom of it, all of the investigators are there now and they are studying it very closely. terrible things. our condolences go to the families and to everybody involved including the wounded. we have some badly wounded people also and we have to extend our condolences to them and we will be working with them all very closely. so i just wanted to let you know that was from king solomon. today we are here to talk to some of the very hardworking citizens who are benefiting from

our historic -- i will tell you the market is up 325 points today on a great job numbers and the numbers have been phenomenal, some people said so spot on and so good that they have actually never seen anything like it. it's a long way from when people were rooting for a recession because they thought they could maybe win an election. we root for success and we are having tremendous success. i want to thank vice president mike pence who is here. as well as secretary gene scalia, and acting omb director russ vote. thank you all very much for being here, we appreciate it very much. that's been incredible. of time economically for our country.

that was the best in employment numbers and, african-american, asian, hispanic and those are the best numbers we've ever had. numbers for women are in a record number and i think if it keeps going like this could very probably be totally historic. but those are numbers that nobody ever believed possible. nobody would have believed it frankly in the campaign, i would have never said it. that's despite the fact that we are paying interest to people that have their money in the bank and other countries are not, so we have a great competitive advantage. and yet by far -- we are by far and away the most successful economy in the world. we are doing better than any other economy in the world.

we were going to go to number two during this presidency which was years ago. i guess that -- the wrong president got elected from the standpoint that there are a lot of people that are very unhappy about it. they certainly think it was the wrong president, it would have rather had somebody else because they are not number one and we are number one and they are so far ahead that people can't even believe it. so we had tremendous success, we have it together. this is been a great group of cabinet members and the administration has done a really good job. it was just reported that we added another 266,000 jobs in november and we have also had very favorable numbers outside of the 266 including some of the past numbers that have been corrected in a very positive way. so we have 266,000 jobs plus we

have created 7 million jobs since my election. unemployment is at the lowest rate, as i told you, and in many ways i think we could probably say historically, a record 150 million americans are now working and that's the largest number in the history of our country. we should be breaking the 160 million magic mark fairly soon. it's up 325 and we hit another record high. i believe that's 128 times, something like that. we've broken the all-time record for stock market highs and, think of that. about 128 times. with bending her for less than three years. and that i can tell you, at 2.5 million americans have been lifted out of prop poverty.

in the positive sense, those have hit record lows. that something that nobody thought was going to be possible in a short period of time either. so they have all hit record lo lows. our regular reform efforts are delivering prosperity to forgotten men, women and children. we are seeing a middle-class boom led by blue-collar jobs and that's one of the things that is so great, the blue-collar workers, the great workers of our country they're really benefiting tremendously from what they've done with the tax cuts on all of the other things that we've done. and very big i think is the cuts. before we were able to get the tax cut so successfully, we started getting regulations regularly. that's between the election victory, and they literally went

through the roof. if they were lost it would have gone right through the floor and been a disaster. it's boosting pensions, 401(k) and college savings accounts. we've added 10 trillion in the economy, to create 2 out of 3 new jobs. almost every state, i can tell you every state i've been to in the last three months, and they are very thankful. literally every state i go to a setting the record for their state and individual states. one of the states is just reported and it's because of our

actions and, their actions are very negative. california is doing much better than anyone anticipated because of what we have done in the federal level. next year we will continue our regulatory campaign and remove costly burdens to make cars safer and more affordable. i don't know if you know what's going on, we are in a dispute with california. california in order to save a tiny amount of fuel, of which we have plenty -- we have numbers that nobody would have believed were possible. we are an exporter of energy for the first time in our history really. but we can make cars much less expensive, much better, much stronger, and about the same from an environmental standpoint. but then, when you realize many old cars will be taken off the

road because they don't want to get rid of them because they don't want to -- date you take that and sometimes there is about that much gasoline. that's the difference between $3,500, extra computers put on the engines and all the other things you have to do. but, the cars are much safer, much cheaper and much better. the reason they are safer is because they can be heavier because right now the cars are made out of papier-mache and hours are actually, we allow steel content. so people are getting very excited about that and we have some good support with the auto companies. the only ones that don't support are the companies that want to be politically correct. we will end up in some litigation with california but just remember our tower cars are safer, much safer and they are better.

they operate better and in every way we think it's going to be terrific. we have a lot of support, and you talk about a saving of $3,500 on average per car, that's a tremendous saving. one of the other things from an environmental standpoint, many of the old gas guzzlers are that are spewing out bad things are going to be coming off the road. cars that are ten years old or older, people would be going to the new cars because of pricing is better. and the net result of what happens environmentally, a lot of old cars will come off the road. so you have a better car for less money and it will be safe here. we will end the regulatory assault on franchise small businesses, because they are very strongly affected. that will provide greater financial freedom and

flexibility for truckers and the trucking industry has gotten out of control. you might want to say a few words about that. it's gotten out of control. and we are doing other things. they got rid of the light bulb that people got use to become the new bulb is many times more expensive and i hate to say it, it doesn't make you look as good of course being a vain person, that's very important to me. like it gives you an orange luck. while i don't want an orange look. so we will have to change those in at least a couple of rooms where i live. we are going back to the double standard. we have a standard of the new bulbs, and many people were complaining that the new bulbs were much more expensive. and the other thing is, they are

considered a hazardous waste. because it's largely gas technology, when the bulb is disposed of you are supposed to bring it to a hazardous waste site. i said how many people do that? nobody does that. that's a bad thing. so you probably heard about that and you probably read about that and you will be able to buy light bulbs that actually are better lighting in the opinion of many. and if you want you can buy the other bulbs also. and i can tell you even the bulb companies are happy about that. together we are defending the american workers, using common sense and we have a situation where we are looking very strongly. sinks and showers, in areas

where there are tremendous amounts of water. where the water rushes out to sea. you'd turn on the faucet and you don't get any water. date take a shower and water comes dripping out, just dripping out very quietly. people are flushing toilets 15 times. they end up using more water so the epa is looking at that very strongly in my suggestion. you go into a new building, you can't wash your hands practically because so many don't like little water comes out of the faucet. it takes you much longer to wash her hands, you end up using the same amount of water. we are looking very seriously about opening up the standard and, there may be some areas where we may go the other route.

so we will be opening it. we will be looking at changing the standings if very soon. we go back, but you have the other alternative. and that's been a big problem. a lot of the things we do are based on common sense. what are we doing? it's a common sense thing, so many of the things that we do. it's based on common sense like the car, the car will end up with the net tremendous saving environmentally when you think of all the cars, the old cars that come off off the road. it will be ultimately much better. so at that i would like to introduce mike pence, our great vice president. mike, you might want to say a few words and very important i go around the table with a couple of people you want to

introduce. >> trace: there you have the president who talked about the economy a bit, and he also talked about the dow which is now 326 points, and did not talk anything about impeachment in the white house of course facing in a major deadline in the impeachment inquiry. will president trump's lawyers participate in the proceedings or give house democrats the cold shoulder? coming up we will talk to sunday anchor chris wallace aboutda th. and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. and there's never been an easier way to get great advice. a place for mom is a free service that pairs you with a local advisor to help you sort through your options and find a perfect place. a place for mom. you know your family we know senior living. together we'll make the right choice.

>> trace: at the white house has less than two hours left to decide if it will have a lawyer participate in the upcoming impeachment proceedings. our senior producer for

capitol hill, and what's the tick-tock coming forward here? >> president clinton sent his legal team to capitol hill and sent his comments to the house judiciary committee, she said the following. they have a chance to show the evidence exculpatory information. they have a consciousness of guilt. it could affect what we call a marked obsession. that's where they actually go in and right the articles of impeachment and the judiciary committee and we will expect that late next week but it could be pushed back if they have that additional hearing. for those who want to know what the articles of impeachment might be, that flips districts from red to blue last cycle.

we talked to two of them also, and max rose from new york city. >> i think it's a responsibility for them to actually review the things before you vote on them. >> before then you have to be judicious. that's the way we've been every step of the way and that's how we will continue. >> there are 31 of those swing district democrats, some of whom would vote yes in order to pass the articles of impeachment. >> what can we expect? >> it will be structurally different, but similar to other hearings we've seen. and it, the intelligence community is trying to present their evidence.

the council that came over with jim jordan to the intelligence committee. then the question is do they have other hearings, something from the administration or do they go to a markup session later in the week? that will be key if they get this done by christmas. >> trace: chad pergram on capitol hill. let's bring in chris wallace, anchor of fox news sunday. he's at the ronald reagan presidential library for a defense form. always good to see you and i'm not sure if you heard chad talking but what's your instinct? does the white house participate in these impeachment proceedings going forward? i'm not sure what the white house thinking is this week but he were presenting the intelligence committee hearing, i think the white house would have absolutely sent someone to cross-examine them. it's going to be the democratic

majority counsel, daniel goldman, and i suspect that the white house is not going to participate, not not going to examine a lawyer for the house democrats. there are some damaging evidence out there but it hasn't really had a lot of chart, contraction with 50% of the country that supports the president. no bipartisan buy-in up on capitol hill. there is a feeling in the white house, they don't want to lend credibility to a process that they think a lot of their supporters don't have much credibility. so i would be surprised if they participate in the actual hearing on monday. they might issue a report, or is send a report which indicates their view of the facts and, as

the articles of impeachment themselves, that's very interesting. the feeling on the part of nancy pelosi, and why she decided to go ahead with this in september, and that was easy for americans to understand. you remember what robert mueller reported last spring and held that not very successful hearing on july 24 come the day before the trump-president zelensky phone call. if you open that up, and i think

the doubters and certainly, they would say if you are going to bring that up. it opens up a whole new avenue which really hasn't been on explored. >> >> this is a "washington post" poll, that's how people feel about impeachment. new hampshire and north carolina, and wisconsin. i believe a lot of these democrats in the republican leading states are thinking about that. >> it has an implication on two sides. the president facing the reelection most likely in november of 2020, and

impeachment works for him and not against him. there are 31 house democrats but one in districts that donald trump one in 2016. those are swing districts. i'm sure those folks are going to be up for reelection in november and they are also looking at that. and that's a question. nancy pelosi has to make sure not only that she has a bare majority, 216 votes to pass impeachment but, i have to think she's going to want a little extra margin. if she's going to go ahead with this. >> that is spectacular, enjoy the defense forum out there. this week on fox news sunday, chris has an exclusive interview with mark esper, live it with the reagan national defense

form. also a member of the house judiciary committee ahead of monday's impeachment hearing. rhode island democrat david sisley need which is on your local fox station. check your tv listings for the time in your area. again, thank you very much. new is that the shooter in pensacola was a member of the foreign military is now raising national security concerns. so how does the program that enrolled him work, exactly? we will talk to if former navy pilot who trained in pensacola and he says he also had some saudi classmates. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for.

>> trace: more on fox top story, the shooter in pensacola was in aviation student from saudi arabia. according to a senior u.s. official, the school trains officers and enlisted students before they go back to their home countries. and, that's an f-18 fighter squadron. you know this as a naval air station because you were an instructor there and, you should point out, having saudi nationals train their is very common. >> of course condolences to the families of those who were either killed or wounded in

today's attacks. whether it's saudi nationals or other nations we participated with, that's a key path, part of the alliances and partnerships we have with other nations. >> trace: fox is learning, we are not releasing names but fox is learning about the actual shooter. he'd been on base for about a year and was on his secondary training, plan to be in the saudi air force as a navigator and not a pilot. it was a very good student and very religious and it doesn't sound like anything out of the near comic ordinary. >> one thing i found interesting, back in 2,000 when i was going back to my aviation predr. nation training, the nationals like the saudis lived alongside us. we went to the same barracks together, and we also flew together and socialize together so it wasn't unusual to have this continuing contact.

we do host those who will be pilots or navigators and their respective air forces. >> i know this may not be your area of expertise but what about the vetting process from those coming from different countries. what do you know about that? >> it's a stringent vetting process whether it's and, typically they go through a very close and careful vetting process to make sure that -- every nation wants to send their very best and brightest to serve as representatives when they are serving abroad. i know that's a lot more than people want to look into to determine how this individual and how this event came to happen. guns are not allowed on the base and we know that the shooter used a handgun. how in the world -- and i don't want you to speculate, but how in the world with security as it is on naval bases would someone be able to sneak a gun into a classroom? >> just like you said, i think

it would be too quick to speculate on how that could have happened or how someone could have brought a firearm onto ba base. i've worked previously with the base commanding officer, obviously a fantastic individual. i know the pensacola community could be in good hands with him as he looks not only to work with law enforcement and determine exactly what happened but to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> this is that second naval base shooting in three days. does that raise alarms for you at all? do you foresee an uptick in military base security not just in this country but for u.s. bases around the world? >> i think you will see that if they can link these attacks so far together. that might elevate the a security requirement not only here domestically but abroad. but i don't like we have enough information to make that kind of connection. >> trace: guy snodgrass, thank you for joining us. investigators in pearl harbor,

we were just talking about the second of these attacks. the whole thing took no more than 23 seconds. hawaii news reports he was having disciplinary problems but had been enrolled in anger management courses. tomorrow, mark 78 years on the attack on pearl harbor and the base is stepping up sick purity. jonathan hunt reporting live from our west coas west coast n. >> as their nation prepares to mark the 71st anniversary of the pearl harbor attack which propelled the u.s. into world war ii, it's not surprising that security would be beefed up given now that we have seen two shootings at naval facilities this week. and we are now getting a clear picture of the shooter in the hawaii attack.

at 22-year-old petty officer who reportedly had disciplinary issues and was unhappy with his commanders, and was facing what's called nonjudicial punishment. a lower level administrative discipline for minor misconduct. the shooter may have been undergoing, but any sort of issue like that would of course raise questions as to why he was giving the task of providing armed security at the entrance to the submarine uss columbia while it was docked in pearl harbor. he shot three shipyard workers killing two of them with his m4 service rifle before killing himself with his and nine service pistol, all within the space of just 23 seconds. navy officials just held a news conference as you mentioned and they again said they don't know the shooter's motive. they don't know whether he knew his victims, and they did again

promise a full investigation. listen here. >> that's all part of the investigation going on. i don't have direct knowledge to the aspects of that, but every aspect of that is being looked at as well as about the response and everything else. that something they will be looking at it from all angles. >> one of the victims has been identified as 30-year-old vincent company poi jr. defined by friends as a hardworking family guy who graduated from the university of san francisco in 2011, having paid for his tuition by getting up at 3:00 a.m. to work at the fishing docks. the other man who died has not yet been named. the third victim, a 36-year-old man is still in the hospital and still listed in stable conditi condition. >> trace: jonathan hunt live for us in los angeles. billionaire elon musk back in

>> trace: the jury in the defamation case against millionaire elon musk could start deliberations today after lawyers for both sides delivered closing arguments. a british man who helped rescue a boys soccer team from a cave in thailand is suing the tesla founder for defamation. musk called the man a pedo in a tweet. robert gray has more in

los angeles. >> now that tweet, was it an insult or was there actual malice behind it in branding vernon unsworth a? the jury could take up the case as soon as the this afternoon for rendering a verdict. his attorney when first trying to paint musk is a liar and billionaire billy making numerous references to the -- $20 billion earlier in the week on the stand. his attorney says musk dropped a nuclear bomb on unsworth with those tweets and that effect could be felt for years. they are asking $40 million in compensatory damages and $150 million in punitive damages which they call a hard slap on the risk which would prevent musk from doing it again. the verdict he said would set a shining example for others to

follow. this is a first big test to whether a social media will be held to the same standards as newspapers and other published media. he had just begun as i came to camera, his argument is between two people who are exchanging insults. he said unsworth claims basically, i've been horribly damaged. pay me lots of money. he said insults cannot be defamatory. >> trace: robert gray, thank you. you can now also snow ski year-round in new jersey. the first real snow in north america open in east rutherford. it's called the big snow. a group of olympians showed up for the grand opening yesterday including snowboarders kelly clark, and skiers lindsay vann and donna wayne brecht. if you have the gold medal said it was the first time ever

skiing indoors. christine is hitting the slopes in new jersey. >> i haven't started yet. i think i have one commonality. this is my first time in an indoor -- this is the first one in north america. it's a cool 128 degrees. not that many people on the hill into just just opened up yesterday. it cost you 35 bucks and you have to obviously but bring your own equipment and the fact of, if you are a new jersey resident you've seen this structure up here for over 50 years. this chairlift behind me has been here for 15 years and the snow machine have been here for 15 years but they have finally opened it up. there are 5500 tons of snow that they have every single night. it's open from 10:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.

if you don't have a car, if you want to hit the slopes were just two hours, and another thing is it showcases how malls, malls around america are really trying to capitalize on the experience to get people to come to the mall because we don't see as many people go to brick-and-mortar stores. this is one example and it's attached to the american dream wall that hasn't opened yet, it's going to be huge, and amusement park and a skating rink, and tons of stores. where i am right now, think of east coast snow, it's total compact right now and reminds me of like my time mostly in quebec skiing. but for the most part it's pretty fun. it's a smaller slope here, and you got a really big snow park behind me. today is a really good friday for me. >> really good friday. showing off your canadian roots. is there a more advanced -- is it tougher when you go to the

other side? >> according to their own scaling system, i just came down a blue run on the right-hand side of th the the hill. in all honesty it's not that difficult. if you are a more advanced skier, it's about 160-foot vertical drop. it's really great for people that just want to get out and practice their carving, learn how to ski or do some tricks over there which i wasn't going to do on camera just in case i wiped out. spea >> trace: we will watch it. live for us in east rutherford, new jersey, on the slope. a debate in one state over what to call the festive tree at the capitol building. some call it christmas tree and some say holiday tree is more inclusive but both sides of that debate are just ahead. ♪ te s.
