martha? >> martha: obviously, what may be helping mr. espy a bed as the controversy that has played out there over a couple of comments that he cindy hyde-smith made. i know senator graham was asked about her today and he said he was there supporting her. he said he didn't think people should be judged by one comment. but clearly, that open up some possibilities for espy. >> it might have. again, the state is very, very red. graham's point was a cindy hyde-smith would not be such a proponent of criminal justice reported on microform if she was this big racist that somewhat have you believe. but again, the cindy hyde-smith team, very, very confident in their chances to hold the thad cochran ch. >> martha: thank you very much, peter. that is our "story" for tuesday nights. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." as has become the rule lately, there are a couple of big stories unfolding simultaneously tonight. big news in mississippi, the polls have just closed and a key runoff electio

martha. >> martha: trace, thank you very much. coming up, barbra streisand lasting won lashing out at president trump, not just him, any woman who voted for him, saying that they are following their husbands lead to, did not know what they were doing. what does vinson and harper think about this? we will be right back with this. ♪ ♪ >> martha: so it seems that the scene for president trump does not go far enough for some in hollywood, now even the supporters are caught in the cross hairs, singer, actress, and trump critic barbra streisand, and with a new video calling him a liar and tearing into his female supporters, telling "the daily mail" a lot of women vote the way that their husbands vote, they do not believe enough in their own thought, maybe that woman who is so articulate and fit for the presidency, hillary was just too intimidating for them. direct from the radio studio in washington, "benson and harf" ," guy benson marie harf, host of fox new radios "benson and harf," hillary was to a successful, and that was intimi

martha? back to you. >> martha: senator bill nelson urging governor scott to stay out of it. >> using his power as governor to try to undermine the voting process. he has thrown around words like "voter fraud" without any proof. he's filed lawsuits to try to stop votes from being counted and to impound the voting machines. scott cannot oversee this process in a fair and impartial way. thus he should remove himself from any role in the recount process. >> martha: joining me to respond, florida governor rick scott. good to have you on "the story" tonight. what's your response to what your opponent had to say there? >> it's pretty consistent for bill nelson. he's always confused. the governor is not responsible for recounts. we have simply elected supervisor of elections in each county who do the recounts and the numbers are sent to the secretary of state's office throughout the statewide numbers. the government governor is not. my goal is that we follow the law. what we've seen is the superviso

martha? >> martha: unbelievable scene. thank you very much, trace. >> martha: so that fight over moo to aand him too coming just hours after huge announcement was made by the trump administration that will dramatically change the way that me too cases are handled on college campuses. encouraging true due process for the accused and for the accuser. critics say it will discourage victims from coming forward and it's going to be a very hot topic going forward on college campuses. jason riley is a "wall street journal" columnist and he joins me now. jason, thank you very much for being with us this evening. you know, in many ways the college campuses went through the me too movement before the rest of the country did. and they were given rules by the obama administration that were very strict. in essence saying if you are are not tough enough on these people accused, we could potentially take away your federal funding? >> yes, yes. and they didn't do enough to protect the rights of the accused. you know, first thing i would s

>> martha: i do. thanks for the set elephant stor you. good night, bret. all right, breaking tonight, worried that the deputy national security advisor mira ricardo is out. the first lady's office office made it clear yesterday that she was on rocky ground, and we are now learning that john bolton was in asia and unaware that the acts was about to fall on his second in line, and he might, the homeland security secretary on the tour with the defense secretary, there may be an effort underway to keep her in her position, but the rumors are swirling, as they often do. sometimes it means in the movie is coming, sometimes it doesn't. the president ignoring questions today about all of this at the white house this afternoon, and that is where correspondent leland vittert standby for us this evening. hi, leland. >> hi, martha peered often times, it is so difficult to tell which comes first, the rumors about somebody being on the chopping block, or them actually being on the chopping block. kirstjen nielsen,

i think this is the right move today. >> martha: that's a good point. mark whitaker will be the acting attorney general, leapfrogging over rod rosenstein who was deputy attorney general. two questions with that. do you think mark whitaker will release the 19 page fisa surveillance warrant that was signed by rod rosenstein and will he do it before the turnover? >> we need the 302's, we need the anti-mccabe memos, we need rod rosenstein to come answer or questions. did you in fact talk about wearing a wire to record the president. did you talk about the 25th amendment as has been alleged? did you do those things? answer our questions. we need all of the information, i hope the new acting attorney general will do that. we'll find out i assume in the next several weeks. >> martha: matthew whitaker, i said mark. i apologize for that. let's get into the politics, the elections and changes that brings with it. let me play this montage from some of the democrats who will be in leadership positions and i want to get your thoughts on where they may be headed. >>

"the story" hosted by martha maccallum is on right now. >> martha: a breaking tonight, president trump hating ten rallies in the last five days before the midterms and he is all in for a push to save the house. so if it is thursday, it must be misery. and josh hawley who is in a battle with incumbent senator claire mccaskill. today we have a different version of the closing arguments. the president delivering a somewhat sober, straightforward white house speech on how he sees the realities of immigration and border security in america. >> president trump: this is a perilous situation and it's threatening to become even more hazardous as our economy gets better and better. he said there will be catch mor. in the q&a, president pulled no punches. >> how is this plan going to be legal considering current law? >> we are stopping people at the border, this is an invasion and nobody is even questioning that. >> it's the military, but i will tell you this, if anyone throws rocks, like they did in the mexican police, we will consider that a firearm. >> martha: and so on the democrat side come

"the story with martha maccallum" starts right now. if that's not. >> martha: [laughs] thank you. breaking tonight, we are about to get a very important update on the boat out in arizona where about 17,000 votes separate the congresswoman martha mcsally and kyrsten sinema. nearly 500,000 votes, a number of them were mailings that were compared in maricopa county are being counted as we speak. we will break in as soon as we get that update and let you know if there is a racist to call in arizona, and we will let you know also tonight, there is a tragedy unfolding as a hero and 11 young people out for a night of fun were gunned down by a crazed killer headache country music bar last night. [shots firing] >> martha: >> awful and just cho disturbing. tonight, we are learning that the suspect and a veteran of war if afghanistan sent a myriad of mental health warning signals. he appears to have suffered from ptsd, according to a sheriff, he was once referred to a mental health crisis team who released him. jeff paul is live at the scene in thousand oaks california, what we are learning

martha and i will be there and we will be laying down all the stuff coming up on tuesday. >> martha: it's kind of like the election pep rally, before the big game. [laughs] so we have three days, four days, before the elections and tonight we have two presidents in the middle of it all. battling it out and a blitz to win voter support on the left side of your screen which is where in moments we will see president obama in georgia. he's campaigning for gubernatorial candidate stacy abram. this is a very hot race, what we are watching very closely. then on the right-hand side of your screen, another huge race run inmate indianapolis as president trump makes stop number two of the day in indianapolis. he will be there in that senator joe donnelly and mike braun race. he was in west virginia earlier this morning. good evening everybody, i martha maccallum live in washington, d.c., tonight. just a short time ago the president said something very interesting. he acknowledged the possibility that his party could lose the house. speak to the democrats -- and it could happen. it could happen.

"the story" with martha maccallum is next. >> martha: good evening. the temporary will land in argentina where the president will tango with world leaders. it's the dinner with china that is the main course. there's intense focus on this man. now michael cohen could be the most dangerous witness to the president and his presidency in this russia probe. michael cohen could be the most terrifying person for donald trump. the single most destructive person for donald trump. >> so we will get to that story in just a moment with michael cavuto and jonathan turley. and the president will not meet with vladimir putin at the g-20 tweeting this. based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to russia, i decided it would be best to cancel my previously scheduled meeting. critics were quick to draw the lines between that announcement and michael cohen. history may be more telling on this. let's go further than the g-7 and nato summits where the president's approach to diplomacy was characterized as a bull in a china shop. this time it's not

martha? >> martha: thank you very much. at the center of that controversy who was peppered with questions when asked which lane where the match. watch. >> it may be -- and i do not know where the under both thes are now, i looked at reports. >> a lot of people say they voted for governor and the ag, but the senate race was not calculated. what could you attribute it to? >> you know, i haven't talked to any voters about that. so i don't know. but we do see under votes and over votes as a regular part of the process. >> martha: that's pretty confusing. florida congressman matt gaetz, a republican at today's protest and calling for the removal of that woman you just saw, the broward county provider of elections brenda snipes. thank you very much for being here. why do you think she needs to be removed from office? >> we have breaking news tonight, martha. i'm here coming to you from what seems to be the banana republic of broward county. earlier today hours ago, a judge ordered brenda snipes to allow us to inspect records so w

>> martha: good evening, i am martha maccallum and this is "the story." less than 24 hours until we get the first wave on our election headquarters for the results coming in. going to find out tomorrow night where does america really stand today. all-star panel for you tonight. karl rove, mollie hemingway, jeff o'connell. plus two exclusives this evening. texas senator ted cruz defending his seat against rising star beto o'rourke for the democrats and vice president mike pence who just made news by doubling down on his prediction. >> i really believe that republicans will expand our majority in the senate and hold or majority on the house of representatives. >> martha: there you have it. first chief correspondent and henry on the breakdown as a plays out tonight. >> think about how much ground president trump made up in the midterms. a talk about blue wave, skepticism about the president putting himself front and center, but it's closing with prognosticator nate silver hedging on whether democrats will take back the house and the president talking comfort

have a good time, everybody. >> martha: can you imagine? and tonight the best of "the wall street journal" editorial board weighs in, great to have all of you with us. there's a lot there that the president put out on the plate, let me start with you with regard to khashoggi. the president said we cannot change this relationship based on this horrific act and the cia saying they do believe the prince knew about this. >> how important that these focusing on the sale of weapons as if the economics is the primary importance. really what matters is the relationship we have with saudi arabia is very important. they are a counterbalance in the middle east to some of our biggest enemies and we need to maintain that relationship. the importance of maintaining the relationship is not the money we are making off of selling arms. i think if he had expressed that differently, people would understand. >> martha: it seems that relationships with middle eastern countries is often the least worst option of the people that you can align yourself with. >> th

i come back home, martha is still at home, martha is still asleep, 9:30 by now, go back to sleep, 11:30 martha finally wakes up and i say to her, baby, you will not believe what happened while you were asleep. [laughter] >> $500, i told you our whole dream coming to new york that we would live in flamboyant and extravagant needlessly frivolous way and we have $500 and we decided to go and have one great dinner at one of the new american restaurants that were filled and we went out and we had champagne, red wine, we had great meal and we limp back home tipsy, at midnight and come back to our loft and i opened the door and turned on the light and there are 100 mice dancing it was like one of the 30's cartoons where little mice are playing fiddles and i realized looking and pulling my arm out from keeping martha to come in that the martha are enacted all of the themes of my keynote earlier that morning, when you look at one mouse and try to focus all you can see the plurality of mice and when you takes 100 mice you keep seeing mice. i said, baby, you can't come in here, you don't want to

bret and martha, back to you. martha: thank you. amazing. bret: i wish you could see the graphics of the building. coming up, final thoughts i had ita tuesday night. tess during sleep number's veterans day sale. it senses your movement, and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. it even helps with this. so you wake up ready to put your pedal to the metal. .. it's not sexy. or delicious. or fun. but since you need both car and home insurance, why not bundle them with esurance and save up to 10%? which you can spend on things you really want to buy, like... well, i don't know what you'd wanna buy because i'm just a guy on your tv. esurance. it's surprisingly painless. tremfya® is for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. with tremfya®, you can get clearer. and stay clearer. in fact, most patients who saw 90% clearer skin at 28 weeks stayed clearer through 48 weeks. tremfya® works better than humira® at providing clearer skin, and more patients were symptom free with tremfya®. tremfya® may lower your ability to fig

we will start with questions around the table with martha maccallum. >> martha: hello, bill. good to see you. one of the questions i have is which races we might not know about. some of these could be prolonged over the course of the next few days. california and we know doesn't even count all their ballots until a week later on the absentee. mississippi could go into a runoff, right? speak a very good question. poll closings may be gives us a better idea of how we can analyze it. at 7:00, i mentioned kentucky. georgia, virginia as well. through the night, 7:30, i mentioned north carolina. good races in ohio and west virginia as well. 8:00, a lot of data is going to come pouring in. missouri, pennsylvania, florida. 9:00 a little more further west, 10:00. still interesting. nevada, montana, iowa. 11:00 is california. martha, there are at least eight races on the house side we're watching. seven of which are in areas where hillary clinton did very well two years ago. she won the district and the republican won the house either. talking with the decision desk today, stirewalt an

anchor of the story with martha maccallum, martha maccallum is here! great to have you! >> martha: great to be here! >> harris: we are where you are going to be later. this is awesome. i can't wait to get all of your thoughts, get the conversation flowing. thanks. >> bret: i brought in a prop. this is a study book for the midterms. it's like a phone book for a decent size -- it has all the -- >> harris: wait a minute -- [laughter] you seriously know all the stuff. you and i sat outside before this, before the severe weather moved in. and forces back in. we sat outside and i set up "let's talk with the house, nobody's talking about that." and you took out a primer from inside your brain. >> bret: ended, specific ones. i can't turn to a page and do it. california 21. you know who's running? [laughter] >> harris: wow! b3 i am not familiar, are you? they fall into two tall subcategories. we are really focused on those top subcategories, following those. there's lot of people. running for congress. that's what is going to make this so fascinating, i think. we think about -- w

martha, you are staring at me like i'm crazy. [laughter] >> martha: i was just sort of watching. i am on the show now? >> jesse: martha, you took us down to the wire last night very late. you saw it right out of the gate until the very end. you don't seem tired. what's your take away? >> martha: i think we ended up with a map that looks like america. america is very divided. you have a house that's dominated by the democrats, and that's going to change things dramatically. they are already sort of chomping at the bit to get their hands on a number of these committee leaderships which is going to i think -- one of the things i think that's very interesting this morning is that the day after the election, it was sort of the feeling and i'm talking about the presidential election, you sort of have the feeling wow, this is an incredible outcome. president trump won so i guess it's the new reality and everyone is going to sort of excepted and the country moves on and you see where it goes next. no, it was like bam, right out of the gate. i felt that way this morning as well, watching

martha. florida is home to a huge issue on the final day of the senate campaign. which candidate actually talked to president trump the most. i spoke with governor scott this morning. he said that he is always calling the present, asking for things like eight after a natural disaster, but he says that he has never heard from thc senator, that plays big into the issue of historic relief, which is uniquely prone to hurricanes. this weekend, and her governor scott traded conversation about whether they should have their hands on aid to victims. hit their records in tallahassee and against each other. our toxic algae wounds that had out of the lake and into neighboring waterways. creating potential health problems for the residents who will wade into them. has been more moderate than a lot of democrats. he is independent and wants to control stomach to protect obam obama. it is a state that a lot of people moved to for its low taxes, and certain economic benefits could go away if democrats get mo

high, phil. >> hi, martha. turns out, the florida recount deadline of thursday at 12:00, may not be so firm of a deadline after all. this afternoon, democratic senator bill nelson, who trails governor scott by 12,000 votes, found a new lawsuit hoping to avoid the deadline for any of the 67 counties in the state, which cannot and failed to complete their machine recounts by thursday afternoon, saying every legal vote cast must be counted. it deadline or not. looking live it tonight inside the broward county recount operation, significant news and progress today, all 300,000 early votes have now been recounted. workers are now getting to the mail in ballots in the election day votes. officials say broward is now ahead of schedule and likely to make the deadline. one of the races being recounted in palm beach county is the state house race, they their candidate leads the democrat by 37 votes, that is in recounted territory. a leon county judge, democrat, today ruled for von sig., giving palm beach county and extra

martha: thank you. professor bowie? >> thank you. hello, everyone. thank you for inviting me to read this fabulous book. thank you for putting it together. to get all a thrill of these different perspectives on cases that i had read about in the news, or had known a little bit about, especially the terri schiavo case, and knowing the bits and pieces of it without realizing what was the legal decision at stake in a case like terri schiavo? i like many people in 2000 was aware that there was a woman who was in a persistent legislative state and there was a whether theover tube that was feeding her should be pulled or not. it was a controversy that involved congress, the governor florida, florida courts. but it was not clear to me at all as an observer what is the legal question that the court had to answer? seeing it from the perspective described it as an easy decision. the legal standard was essentially whether her has -- whether she had communicated in advance what she would have wanted. hearing and he

just last night here on the steps behind us martha mcsally took shots at kristen sinema. she used to be much more on the left, but since entering congress back in 2012 has gone very much down the road as sort of a blue dog democrat. we've had conversation es with folks, republicans and independents, and we have had countless conversations with individuals that suggested they are frustrated at martha mcsally's lack of independence from president trump. and they say they believe that kirsten sinema will be sort of in the mold of the late john mccain. >> the state governor race

. >> martha: we can also now projected that republican south carolina governor, henry mcmaster, win his race against democrat james smith. >> bret: now remember, the two overarching questions of the night or whether democrats can take control of the house and whether republicans can keep control of the senate. it is honestly too early to make both important projections. we are also watching governor races around the country, and we'll have a big impact on "20/20", 20, as well. >> martha: so, the first polls up close, 7:00, coming in right now, any first impressions? >> interestingly enough, i think it is not particularly controversial, but virginia and what i suspect will be a landslide reelection victory by tim kaine over corey stewart, the republican, he was pretty far out there. he even at one point in the

what we saw with martha mcsally and her dog, that is the old martha mcsally. martha mcsally in 2016 was the pre-trump martha mcsally who in 2016 refused to endorse donald trump, denounced him over the "access hollywood" and to this day has not said whether she voted for him in 2016, but in 2018 when she was in a competitive republican primary had to embrace donald trump in order to get through the primary, and that has nothing to do with her vote on the affordable care act, which all republicans were for tearing it down. but it left her in this awkward position where she had been kind of a main stream republican, had to pull trump close in order to win the primary, and what she ended up being was someone who seemed inconsistent, who seemed all over the place, and who ended up campaigning in this very kind of cautious, sort of undefined self-contradictory way, and now that she's freed of her obligation to donald trump, she's back to being a charming lady on her couch with her dog. >> decency returns. we now have to go to florida. joining us now is msnbc chief l

not endorse martha mcsally. she hasut notably stayed of this race. but she called for republicans if they were to win or losest t k together, and to be working with their allies and with their opponents. heant to playyou, though, that mcsally sound bite i was referencing where she called out kyrstessinema. thishat she said last night. >> my n'opponent, she do actually want to be seen with the other democrats on the ticket. it's actually kind of funny to watch. no, no, get out of the shot, man. you know what i mean? she's in the liberal witness protection program right now, right? she doesn't even put a d next to her name. >> i vote for issues the president agrees on when they're right forrizona and vote against the issues that he supports when they're wrong for arizona. >> reporter: this is a state that donald trump won by just 3 percentage points. mar na mc -- martha mcsally has stood behind him. and even don juniorek this phillip? >> joining us from a cold part of what is a warmd sta. thank you so much for joi

only on the first lady fashion but on the roles they have played in the white house dating back to martha washington. he is the author of a dozen books, on the political and popular culture and cultural influence of presidential spouses and families. he serves as a speechwriter for betty ford. i am honored to welcome you to the richard nixon presidential library. >> thank you very much bill and also to members of the board and staff of the richard nixon foundation which has made all of this possible and, i would also like to add my thanks to both olivia the curator with the national archives here and also cheryl, the secretary hardly a title that really captures all that she does. it really is wonderful because the seed of all of this came about through i believe the great personal relationship between cheryl and olivia personal and professional. it was from that agri- enthusiasm was worked up and so when cheryl first called me about this, and said it would be about first lady's fashion, i told her, i wasn't interested because i wasn't really interested or didn't have a knowledge of fashi

it's martha mcsally from arizona. let's start with immigration. we just completed a focus group, so important for the voters of the state. how is your view on immigration different from your opponents? >> it's like night and it day. i chair at the border security district and the subcommittee and i'm working with president trump to make sure we built a wall, secure the border, close these crazy loopholes that are taken advantage of every day, and move forward in a way that is protecting americans. my opponent was actually an activist helping people cross illegally in her past and even though she has had an amazing political makeovers, she has voted to support sanctuary cities. an important vote that's meaningful in arizona is she voted against grant's law, named after grant running back. in the end angel families have endorsed me and she refused to meet with them. grant was shot point blank by someone who shouldn't even have been here. she refused to vote yes on this, and she is out of touch. >> i want to play something for you because she's basic

martha had to fight her way within a search and pink. i would put it down over here and call martha's table. she cuts it open and says i can't be this. this is to rare. part of me was so inflamed by this i often wondered if it wasn't a kind of forgive me if i share this i wondered if it wasn'therewasn't the kind of ung the whole thing. i got up to make for the door like the husband in a sitcom. i didn't even see it in childbirth with a very gracious and polite person she looked at me and said you are going to go back and finish cooking the fi fish. i knew that he was a pivotal moment in our relationship and our marriage and so of course i did. i went back and i finished cooking the tuna. the next day the super came down and said i don't know what you are doing in there but you've got to stop because all of the neighbors were complaining about the smoke coming up. it wathat was a huge blessing be i had to start brazing and stewing. couldn't sautÉ anymore. the only two terms are tough and tender. it was tough when i put in that i'vbuti've

you talked about how martha washington intentionally wore american made clothes. when did first ladies start wearing regional materials from other countries for diplomatic reasons? >> that's a very good question. because there's always the issue, especially in the 19th century, of are we a private person or are we a public person? and where does that line begin and end? dolly madison bought -- you know, she -- we had records of her buying most of her items from paris through the american representative in paris who complained about having to waddle through the streets of paris going after everything on mrs. madison's check list. you have sarah polk, again, another interesting one. there's not enough time to get into it because it was a bit of a dark side there. you know, she had these very wealthy cotton plantations all, you know, by the labor of enslaved people. and wore lavish clothing all from the house of worth in paris and was criticized for -- although she held herself out as a very pious woman, she always arrived fashionably late for church and some of the

representative martha mcsally wants to be a senator. is that a calculation you make at the rnc level with these candidates, who would be best to see that happen, what area should we leave people in the congressional battle and not elevate them to the senate level? >> we don't get involved in the recruitment at the rnc level, we focus on the election day because it's important to be a neutral player during the primary so we can bring people together for the general election. absolutely, martha left that all-important arizona district, there's a great candidate in that district but it is a 50/50 state and that will be a battleground seat to keep the majority in the house and i know martha took that into consideration when she left what she wanted to run for senate. she would be such a great senator for arizona, i can't imagine arizona choosing somebody who said that arizona is the meth lab of democracy, over a combat pilot like martha mcsally but that is a tight, tight race and it will come down again to voter turnout. >> harris: a few we

she did not endorse martha mcsally. she has notably stayed out of this race. but she called for republicans if they were to win or lose to stick together, and to be working with their allies and with their opponents. he want to play you, though, that mcsally sound bite i was referencing where she called out kyrsten sinema. this is what she said last night. >> my opponent, she doesn't actually want to be seen with the other democrats on the ticket. it's actually kind of funny to watch. no, no, get out of the shot, man. you know what i mean? she's in the liberal witness protection program right now, right? she doesn't even put a d next to her name. >> i vote for issues the president agrees on when they're right for arizona and i vote against the issues that he supports when they're wrong for arizona. >> reporter: this is a state that donald trump won by just 3 percentage ts mar na mc -- martha mcsally has stood behind him. and even don junior this week. phillip? >> joining us from a cold part of what is a warm stated to. thank you so much for joining us, vaughn.

martha mcsally campaigned side by side with mcsally. krysten sinema distanced herself from traditional democrats. she has moved more towards the middle. liz: in texas 5 million people already voted. that's more than the total number of votes cast throughout the entire state of texas in the mid-term election. let's bring in texas attorney general ken paxton. why -- what's going on with the strong turnout? who is it going to benefit? ted cruz or beto o'rourke. >> i think you have strong turnouts on both sides. if you look at collin county we are setting the record for all counties in texas. the fact that republicans are turning out is an advantage for republicans. generally we are a republican state, so the advantage goes to the republican party. liz: what was your reaction to the report that homeland security is saying the members of the migrant caravan come from 20 countries including afghanistan, bang le - bangladd pakistan including ms-13 gang members. what's your reaction? >> not surprising. we have been dealing with this for years a

on elected night, martha mcsally of the up. but she seems to have lost so many votes in essential republican county that her democratic opponent, is now the victor, going weird going on in arizona? >> i think less so than in florida, florida is -- >> they are giving them a run for their money now. >> i think what was weird about arizona senate race, i have never seen now u.s. senator, have so many disparaging things to say about her state. she called arizona meth lab of democracy. >> a great quote. >> called them crazy. that race of tight all along. the good news that we might get martha mcsally as replacement in for jon kyl, when he vacates that seat. kennedy: it is interesting. maybe a different candidate, i don't know that martha mcsaly. >> very positive, but i think -- >> i don't think it means arizona has flipped blue. but i think it boils down to is candidates do matter. and you should never concede or give up before the race is done, politics is general. >> a state like arizona everyone mails their ballot in it takes tim

i'm ed henry in for martha maccallum. if congresswoman martha fudge does run it would further complicate pelosi's already shaky quest for the gavel while several members of the crucial congressional black caucus have expressed their support early on for pelosi, some now say they are quote unquote waiting to see what happens in the wake of fudge's potential run. this as a growing list of democrats riff to fall in line as the week began with newcomers like alexandria ocasio-cortez staging a sit know outside the former speaker's office ending with freshman and veteran lawmakers alike airways to voice their concerns about pelosi being the face and voice of her party. >> one of the things that i talk about frequently on the campaign trail was the need to have new voices in congress, the need to turn the new page. >> if we answer that call for new leadership by reinstalling the same status quo, establishment leadership, that we have had in this party since 2006, then we are letting down the american people. ed: our chief congre

martha said i want uber to succeed. i have been a fan oof the concept since day one. ever since she got stock tip on uber. she's like i've been a fan of uber. >> and martha's b fshs f is receiving a long over due honor. >> they gathered around snoop dogg for his own star on the walk of fame. including his friends dre. dre. dre. . know what turns me on? my better half, hors d oeuvres and bubbly. and when i really want to take it up a notch we use k-y yours & mine. tingling for me, warming for him. wow! this holiday season get what you want >>> we do quite a few stories about people defying the odds and going almost to impossible >>> we do quite a few stour stories about people defying the odds. >> and we're hearing what one young hockey player did just to get back in the game. >> reporter: he has lubbed hockey since he was a boy. >> he made the varsity starting line up with dreams off playing hockey eprofessionally. but that summer he was struck boy a car at a cross walk. he spent a month in a coma. he was on life support. then he woke up. for 22 months he got to work

"the story with martha maccallum" starts right now. if that's not. >> martha: [laughs] thank you. breaking tonight, we are about to get a very important update on the boat out in arizona where about 17,000 votes separate the congresswoman martha mcsally and kyrsten sinema. nearly 500,000 votes, a number of them were mailings that were compared in maricopa county are being counted as we speak. we will break in as soon as we get that update and let you know if there is a racist to call in arizona, and we will let you know

martha will do better and north dakota will do well. florida is a very close race. bill nelson is a terrible senator. never once called and asked for something for the people of florida, rex forgot, all he does is call. look at the great job he did with the hurricane. i have to say ron desantis has to be governor. there's an electricity that feels like 2016. there is something going on. reminds me of two years ago. i know something is going on. i love what we are doing for the country. jillian: polls will begin to open on the east coast in an hour. the turnout is expected to be historic. rob: as for what is at stake, control of congress, democrats need to flip 24 seats to take the house but in the senate it appears republicans could actually add to their slim 51 seat majority. jillian: fox news team coverage and we begin with griff jenkins in florida where the sunshine state will soon pick its next governor and senator. >> reporter: good morning. remember what they said in 2016, florida florida florida. buckle up because we are about to get this going. already 5 mil

is that a real picture of martha's vineyard. the figure is at is trying to convey a little bit of what caleb might have looked like in the first encounter. it's as close as we could get. the eastern native american hunting attire but the photograph is a local photographer. i knew him and i did not know what photo they were going to choose s but i was very sure that that was the one that the publisher selected that's one of my favorite places on the planet. and anyone who comes to martha's vineyard i highly recommend a walk at sunset. they absolutely come alive in the native land. it belongs there. they are allowing to share and enjoy it. there are just a few places on earth where you get a really mystical connection with all of the people who had loved that place. i think you feel it very much. the red color in the clay is their there giant and great protector. the color is from the whale blood. he was so tall that he could just knock it against there. as a county do not look forward to the summer months in then your -- and in m

it came actually from martha mcsally. it was just a short video that she made, but my gosh, it spoke volumes and it was the type of character that we just need to see in our leaders and we saw in her last night. >> it gives us so much hope. for the first time in 30 years arizona has elected a democrat to the united states senate. nbc news has declared congresswoman kyrsten sinema the apparent winner over her republican colleague martha mcsally. ignoring republican party leaders' baseless claims of corruption, mcsally appeared in a video posted to social media where she thanked her supporters and took note of sinema's barrier breaking win. >> everybody, i just called kyrsten sinema and congratulated her on becoming arizona's first female senator after a hard fought battle. i wish her all success as she represents arizona in the senate. i also want to say thank you to everybody who supported me in this campaign, my staff and volunteers and everybody who voted for me. i'm so grateful for you. we sure wish it came out with a

many steve. >> hello there. >> martha: congratulations. ifer several friends and family members say they want your book, from me, for christmas. i'm helping to pump up the sales. >> you have made some of the stuff as well. i can't tell you, kathy and i have been across the country on the book tour, people say i made your mom's lasagne, i made martha's mom's pumpkin cheese cake. there's something about the smell of certain foods that triggers the no stallia department in your head -- no stallia department. thanksgiving, you walk in the house, you smell the turkey, the stuffing, it takes you back to when you were a kid. and i can still remember the way my mom made her begin let stuffing -- giblet stuffing y do they put them in the bag? >> i know, i know. >> luckily we had a dog. >> exactly. >> let's look at you and me, in my kitchen, making my mom's bourbon pumpkin cheesecake. now we're going to make benty's bourbon pumpkin cheesecake, a thanksgiving delicacy, i only make once a year at thanksgiving. >> why? >> it's pumpkin, it's sort of sea

kooersen cinema defeated martha mcsally. sinema is arizona's first female senator and her win guarantees democrats at least 47 seats in the senate, a better night than it looked like it would be for them one week ago. republicans hold 51 seats, two races are still undecided in mississippi. there is a run off that won't be decided until the end of the month. and in florida, well, who knows? >> there is that old recount thing happening. >> these are the numbers where things stand right now in florida, workers have been working throughout the night. these are live pictures from broward county. a lot busier in broward county early this morning than it was yesterday. this will heat up. this will only get busier ahead of thursday's deadline. a florida judge is telling both sides to ramp down the rhetoric. >>> in the house democrats have picked up a net of 30 seats at this point. keep in mind ten key races are still to be decided but this brings the current balance of power in the house to 225 democratic held seats to 200 republica

one week ago martha mcsally was leading on election night. this stings a little bit more republicans. i know a lot of republicans got the candidate they wanted in martha mcsally, she ran very close to president trump and this is a state that matters a great deal for the future of both parties. >> it does sting. going into election say republicans felt pretty good about arizona, better than they did about nevada. to lose this one it hurts. mcsally is probably going to wind occupy in the senate anyway because kyle is going to resign and mcsally may wind up being the state's senior senator if she gets there before kyrsten sinema is sworn in. that would put mcsally back on the ballot in a couple years. republicans have accepted the outcome and i think that stands in stark contrast to what's happening in georgia and florida where democrats refuse to accept the outcome. >> martha mcsally has accepted the outcome, president trump and national republicans have urged her not to. so in this case you were crediting her with some grace in defeat, but it'

martha maccallum, she is an anchor on "the story" every single night but only gets paid for four of them, and ed henryma is not hosting or anchoring "tho story," he does not have a full-time job, he'ss a chief national correspondent. they are friends but not right now. >> very big enemies right now. >> i'm worried if i win, she will not have her show back. >> brian: i don't care about your relationship, i want to tell the people at home that there will only be one winner and everyone else is a loser. you know the rules. you cannot yell out the answer before i finish the question. the first one to hit the buzzer, i will go to that person and you will answer. i'm not even sure if those are the rules, i ad-libbed them. i should've stuck to the prompter. let's see if gabriela can keep up withtu me. the midterm elections can be a wild time. 2018 was no exception. >> true! >> brian: which senate candidate went off the rails in his ruconcession speech and dropped the f-bomb?? >> beto o'rourke! >> brian: let's go the tape. >> in every single part of texas, all of you showing the country how you
