FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting November 16, 2018

Of them may not realize theyre missing. Reporting begins now. And our reporting begins with President Trump. He said he just finished writing his answers to questions from Robert Mueller but has not yet turned them to investigators. The president insists he wrote the responses himself. My lawyers arent working on that. Im working on that. I write the answers. My lawyers dont write answers. I write answers. I was asked a series of questions. I answered them easily. Shepard the president did not give details about the questions on his answers, this does mark a critical step after the long back and forth reported between President Trumps lawyers and the special counsels team. Mueller is looking into moscows meddling in the 2016 election and members of team trump and collusion and whether the president obstructed justice. So mueller has publicly entered in plea deals or indicted 32 people and three companies. President trump says there was no collusion and no obstruction. Rich edson reporting live. Good an, shep. As expected, the president s attorney jay sekulow and rudy guliani will arrive here at the white house as he spoke this afternoon about the Mueller Probe at an Oval Office Meeting or bill signing there. He said hes hearing the Mueller Investigation will soon end. This is the day after he referred to mueller saying he and his gang of democrat thugs have destroyed people and are a disgrace to the nation. He was asked this afternoon what he specifically prompted that outburst on twitter about Robert Mueller. He said it was Nothing Specific but only just a continuation of this investigation, which should have never happened in the first place. Robert muellers team has indicted dozens and gotten plea deals including president s former campaign manager, paul manafort. After the special counsel receives the answers, its unclear how long it will go despite what the president saying thinking or hearing that it will end soon. Shepard rich, we got a decision today in the cnn case versus the white house and members of the white house team. Right. A decision now, shep, in the hard pass or the white house pass of jim acosta has been temporarily reinstated by the white house. Heres what the president had to say. You have to act with respect. Youre in the white house. When i see the way some of my people get treated at press conferences, its terrible. Were setting up a certain standard, which is what the court is requesting. Always First Amendment. But thats the way it is. We always have the option of just leaving. You know . We feel that things arent being treated properly. The white house revoked their past last week for his refusal to give up the microphone in a press conference. Cnn sued to get the pass back. Fox news filed legal briefs in support of cnn. The federal judge declined to rule on the First Amendment basis. He said that cnn will ultimate prevail. Shepard rule on due process and more to come. Thanks, rich. Fox news confirms some Senate Republicans are pressing President Trump to replace his asking attorney general, Matt Whitaker as soon as possible. Politco said it would help clear up concerns about interference in the Mueller Investigation hand calm the controversy that developed when the president got rid of his former a. G. Jeff sessions and had whitaker take over. Mike emanuel reporting live on capitol hill. Shep, good afternoon. Fox has confirmed the essence of that story. Senate republican whip john cornyn spoke this week about the effort to find a new attorney general. This is a very important job. I think a lot of the questions involving mr. Whitaker and the acting a. G. Could be eliminated if we had a nominee and my understanding is the white house is starting to look into that. But i dont have any as i told you this morning, i dont have any indication of time line or who the candidates are. Cornyn is not alone. James langford told politco that it would be helpful to get moving so we can have that person in place as soon as possible. Whoever will be there will have to make clear statements about what they intend to do on the special counsel. The sooner the better, lets get it resolved. A senate gop spokesman said much of the conference feels this way. John thune says that they will have the votes to confirm the next attorney general whether its this year or 2019 assuming its someone that is wellqualified, which thune expects the nominee will be. If the russian probe is still going, republican senators say there needs to be a commitment to protect him. I suspect that will be front and center during the confirmation hearing. There will have to be commitments made. The reason why this was not really an issue before is because the attorney general himself had recused from the matter and mr. Rod rosenstein was appointed i doubt being inclined to be removed in an inappropriate way. Republicans need to confirm another attorney general and any new trump cabinet members. Shepard mike emanuel reporting. President trump sat down with Fox News Sunday anchor chris wallace. Hello, chris. How are you, shep . Shepard im great. I want to ask you about it and release what our viewers can hear. We heard one item last hour and now this, a question on the wild fires, the tragic wild fires in northern california. Listen. California. The purpose of your trip tomorrow. Just to see the firefighters. Nobody has ever seen what is going on over there. Now theyre saying there could be as many as 600. This just came out before we met. Could be as many as 600 people killed. Up by 400. Its incredible whats going on. Burned i dont know recognition. They cant even see the bodies. Its incredible. I was watching the firemen the other day. They were raking areas where the fire was. Theyre raking trees like this not trees, bushes that you could see are totally dry. Weeds. Theyre raking them. Theyre on fire. That should have been auld what about the argument what about the argument that its Climate Change . Its dryer, its hotter and thats contributing. Maybe contributes a little bit. The big problem is management. When i was in a certain state, i wont say which, the governor said, you know, weve tested it. We clean out areas and we actually set the fire just to see. We lose almost nothing. We can put it out right away. Then we leave areas unmaintained, he said well lose 100,000 acres before you know it. You need forest management. It has to be. Im not saying that in a negative way. Im saying the facts. I learned a lot. Forest management. Yeah, this is interesting, shep. As you know, when the fires first started, the president sent out a tweet that before it really was expressing a lot of sympathy with the people in california, he talked about poor forest management. There was a lot of opposition and criticism that the president should be focusing on the human tragedy. Hes going california tomorrow to a couple places where he will meet with some of the people in the hardest hit areas but he wasnt backing off his argument that he says that theres a lot of underbrush and a lot of dead trees and bushes and that causes this. Let me just say, this was not just an agricultural interview. We spent almost an hour with the president. We talked about the we talked about the acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker shepard what did he say . I cant tell you everything. Its my job to tease people to get them to watch sunday. We talked about that he talks about the khaishoggi tape and what is on that tape. Shepard does he know . Very interesting with the relationships with saudi arabia going forward. We talk about the cnn decision. This was his first reaction before the clip that you just ran. We get into i think youll be satisfied, a very spirited discussion about fake news and the argument that fake news is the enemy of the American People and then we talk about the criticism the president has taken about one failing to go to the cemetery in paris last saturday and also not going to arlington sunday. The president admits that he wishes he had a rare doover. Shepard that is unusual. Yes. It is unusual. He was in great form. You know, i threw a lot of tough pointed questions at him. He was in great form. Answered everything. As i say, its about 25 minutes. There you can see us walking in. Foolish. Shepard have you noticed a real attention on the Mueller Investigation in his tweets and in his utterances lately suggesting, you know, even further potentially that it a hoax and hes saying that mueller is out of control and yelling and screaming at people . Does he have any insight why that is coming at this moment . Theres speculation out there. I dont. He says all of those things again, very critical of the investigation. I ask him, is there any chance now whether he will sit for an interview. He talkeds about the fact and said that he wrote the questions and they were edited by the lawyers. But theyre his answers to these questio questions. I will say this. I dont think will ever sit for an interview with Robert Mueller . Shepard why do you say that . Something that he said . Yes. You can wait till sunday. Shepard i just wanted context and perspective. Well, you got a little tease there. Shepard all right. How did he seem . You hear things, you know. Well, its interesting. I will say this. The first question i asked him. I said theres all these reports about the fact that youre sullen and angry and a cocoon of resentment and frustration. He said its fake news. He talked about how unfair the reporting is on him. We also talked about his tone and how he could be more of a unifier. He has an interesting answer on that. Shepard i know what we have to do sunday. I was going to say, its worth watching. Shepard watching it or dvr it. Ill be watching. Shepard thanks, shep. Most always watch. Sometimes its a dvr binge and sometimes its a watch. Just depends whats up, chris. I understand that. Shepard as long as you watch it on the same day if you can do it, same day. That helps the ratings. Appreciate it. Shepard ill do that. Im not a nielsen family for reasons. You might be. Maybe youre hiding it. Shepard that would be against the rules. All right, wallace. Take the rest of the day and tomorrow off because your show is a dent in the can now. Let the people do it. We have more to do. Jessica loker, shes a ringer. Shepard the one that got away.

Paradise and surrounding communities largely a smoking wasteland of ash. Every day search crews and cadaver dogs have been finding more remains. Last night officials added hundreds of names to the list of people that were unofficially unaccounted for. Claudia cowan reporting live from chico where people have been living in tent cities. Claudia . The hope is that most of the 631 people listed as missing were able to escape the fire and not able to connect with friends and relatives. Its sadly likely that some of those people did not make it. Search and recovery teams say theyre discovering sets of human remains almost every hours. Hundreds of evacuees that fled the fire ended up in this parking lot at the chico parking lot. Theres a Distribution Center where evacuees can get clothes, food and water and a medical tent.

Some people are starting to find this image as they pull into their driveway, that they lost everything. This particular home burned to the ground. Several others in this malibu neighborhood the same thing. One of the images i find is this. You can see the garage door burned to the ground and two perfectly good cars there pushed down to the metal. We mentioned, some people are allowed back in. Not everyone though. That is causing frustration. Firefighters say its too dangerous. We spoke with one man that refused to evacuate. Heres what he had to say. No, i would say, youre better off not being here at this point. You have internet, you have restaurants you can go to. Were dependent on these people donating food to us. What is odd about the situation, money Means Nothing at this point. The rich and poor are equal. Were not only seeing a lot of firefighters in the neighborhood mopping up the hot spots. You can see the work crews, this is a staging area. Theyve been getting the electric polls that fell in the ground back up. Weve seen gas trucks. Theyre trying to make it as safe as possible so when they start to allow a lot of the evacuated residents, close to 250,000 people, that when the theyre here, that its safe. Shep .
