well, who's chief of razor wire? who's in charge of making the decision about the razor wire? who might that be? >> so basically, the razor wire is to deter people climbing off the fence, but we have not determined whether we could use those arced metal fences. the razor wire -- we're continuing to work with this artist. artist is on board as of july, and i just want to note, the eagle, we have asked him to change. we asked him that because we realize the perception. and as far as the razor wires, that is currently how we're showing it to defend the site, but we are also open to look at other alternatives that will keep people from climbing over the fence. >> commissioner covington: most certainly. >> it's not as friendly, that's for sure. >> commissioner covington: absolutely and for a new facility that's 50-plus million to build. >> it's effective in what's effective and not effective. because people put cushions on some of those arches, but i want to introduce susan pontius from the art commission, so you know who's standing here. >> commissioner covington: yeah. i think i

now, that's what we're talking about the razor thin margins. and then there's the 19.3% of no party affiliation or other. since president trump took office, about 1 million people have registered to vote here in florida. and there's this misconception around the country that most of florida's voters are seniors. brooke, that is not the case. 52% of registered voters are either millennials, genxers or genzers. i can tell you there's probably one thing that will unite everybody here in florida after today, and that is that we're no long going to be bombarded by political ads. there's been a lot of them here in south florida. >> people will not be sad to see them go. rosa flores in miami for us on those key, razor thin races there. we're also watching a potentially historic governor's race in the state of georgia where democrat stacey abrams would like to become the first african-american female governor but she is also in a tight race with the republican brian kemp. we just want to show you the photos of a moving tribute to the pittsburgh shootin

. >> the fact that the margin is so razor thin in a state that democrats and republicans seat critical to the 2020 fight. the fact that ron desantis was seen as very much an avatar for trumpism, this is sort of taking the shape in more ways than one. you can feel it also on the republican side how viscerally the top republicans, including the president of the united states, donald trump himself are going in hard on this and how they are throwing allegations of voter fraud. not just in florida but in arizona. this is very much a play book that donald trump has played before and we can expect him and the republican party as a whole to play in the future if things don't go their way. >> john mccain's speech writer tweeted that republicans should concede saying the race is lost. nothing will change that. all this does is poison our politics more. despicab despicable. that's probably not a view shared by many republicans in washington. >> it's definitely not. i think in arizona, georgia and florida, the argument is just the votes, people want the votes to be counted. in arizona it's true th

well, it turns out by a razor thin margin they sided with the president. they sided with the republican ron desantis, and i can tell you here at andrew gillum headquarters, the crowd was surprised. hundreds of people were waiting for him to come out. perhaps give a victory speech. at the point when he came out on the stage, abc news was not projecting a winner because the race was too close to call but andrew gillum came out and said that he conceded the race, called desantis and congratulated him on a hard fought victory. >> i still believe that there is more of us who believe in what is common and decent and right, and i believe in the long run good always wins out over evil. >> reporter: talking about the senate now, that race again still too close to call, however, republican rick scott, the current governor here in the state of florida already declared victory. the republican party here in florida already declared victory. senator bill nelson, who is hoping for a fourth term, has not technically conceded the race, however, his spokesperson came out an

remember, we have so much on the line here, the razor thin margins. the democrats, if they pick up 23 seats in the house, perhaps then that is the blue wave. but if they are short of that, then the gop will keep control of the u.s. house tonight. we will see. lots of votes still left to count. back to you guys. >> we'll see you back in a few minutes, chris. >>> a fire in brisbane, it started more than 15 hours ago sending smoke billowing onto 101 and into neighboring cities. classes were actually canceled at a nearby school. this is the recology plant. let's bring in nbc bay area's marianne fachl marianne favro with the latest. >> reporter: even though the fire started at 1:00 this morning, you can see smoke is still pouring out of this building. inside, a 25-foot-high pile of construction debris is burning. the firefighters are making progress. the fire is now 70% contained. >>> stay indoors and stay away. that was the order as clouds of acrid smoke poured into southern san francisco and across highway 101 in brisbane today. the smoke was so bad, vis

we are talking about razor-thin elections, that's what we are talking about. that's why they're bringing a-listers into the state of florida to close the mid-term election in their favor. there is a misconception that most of florida voters are senior citizens. hear this. this time around, 52% of registered voters are millenn l millennials. gen-xors and jen zers. when you look at health care and the statistics there, if you look at the top 10 counties in the country, it is top five are in the state of florida. when democrats talk about health care and preexisting conditions, that's one of the reasons why. it's so important for this young building block and the rest of the people in this sunshine state. >> 52% are millennials orig gen-xors. >> president trump and president obama are making pitches in key races. their messages are in sharp contrast two days before the mid-terms. will there words really make a difference on tuesday? we will discuss, next. rings) it's open! hey. this is amazing. with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, are you okay? even when i

razor-thin margins in florida, arizona and especially montana where incumbent democratic, john tester, closed a deficit that was bigger when we first came on, on new day this morning. so that number keeps changing. one thing is for certain, americans did get out in vote in a historic number. that's only 49% of all registered voters and that doesn't sound like a big number but it is. votes are still being counted. let's get to the latest numbers. cnn's phil mattingly has been up all night. >> i want to zero in on the races right now, and the question is not is mitch mcconnell going to continue to be the leader, and what is happening in montana. when we started a couple hours ago, rosen dale was up by four or 5,000 votes, and that's a lot in montana, but here's the key. you have five counties that are still outstanding and all of them are democratic counties including two of the three largest counties in the state. look at the margins. john tester winning missoula, and so there are opportunities and pathways. you talk to democrats and they feel like tester has a real opportunity here. a

i understand there are so many races that are going to be razor thin. in ohio today, for instance, by 2:00 in hamilton county and in cuyahoga county, so that's cincinnati and cleveland, they had already exceeded their 2014 totals. so we see that turnout very, very good. same thing in madison, wisconsin. they're actually looking at perhaps 2016 turnout levels. and nevada, you know the formula in nevada, you bank a lot of votes, an early vote, and that's what we did. and you run up the score in clark county, which is las vegas, and you hold your own in the reno area and we've been able to do that so far. but there's a long way to go. i am hurting by the fact that the exit polling confirms what our door knocking as confirmed, health care, health care, health care for so many people. and that's been on people's minds. and i think that is an important part of our victory today. >> it's interesting tonight, i'm watching -- to see where the democrats are headed sort of ideologically, they're sort of -- there are two sets of candidates that i'm watching tonight

the ballots, these razor-thin margins, and here we are, dÉjÀ vu florida, 2000. >> thank you, rosa. >> there are some differences with 2000. let me get this out there. we are talking about thousands of votes, not dozens and hundreds like the presidential race in 2000. number two, there's no chad this time. no hanging chad. >> progress. >> it's not chads. it's now all with a pen you do these things. harry, i want to know where these votes are and what the issue with them is. >> broward county you have about i believe 25 to 30,000 votes where there were votes for governor but no votes for senator. we think it's a poor ballot design, but the lawyer for bill nelson believes it could be something entirely different. in palm beach county you have ballots where they fill it in with a sharpy and they think it could have caused over votes, and those might not be counted. one thing is if you go back to 2000, that final result when it came in on election night was within 0.3%, and this is 1.8%, so it's six times the margin and it's difficult to come back from that unless they find votes. >> we do

razor wire called concertina wire is reinforcing our border and has been going up quickly to try and prevent the migrant caravan - that's been making its way through mexico - from illegally crossing into our country."we now have miles of concertina wire at our ports of entry and elsewhere along our southern border."she praised the government agencies that have been putting up the razor wire over the past few days."we are very serious: you will not get into our country illegally."and she's not the only one happy to see the reinforced wiring. "well that wire is a great deterrent for people getting on top of the fence. when someone is up on top it gives them the opportunity to throw rocks and bottles at border patrol agents."the national border patrol council is the union representing agents. wilson says the new wire will also save taxpayers money."if someone is up on top of that fence there's a good chance they'll fall off, which people often do. and when people fall off that fence the u.s. government is responsible for their medical bills."but will the concertina wire actually keep pe

razor-thin margins in the battle for florida's governor. democrat andrew gillum has retracted his election night concession. the marquee race for the florida senate could be headed to a recount by hand. we have more on this major recount in just a few minutes but also developing right now, five days since democrats won control of the house. they are now strategizing on how to use their new powers. house democrats will be able to pursue investigations, they can issue subpoenas, they can compel testimony. so would that mean investigations on obstruction of justice? how about trump's taxes? maybe impeachment? for now, at least, a top priority is protecting the mueller investigation. all eyes on this trump loyalist, the new acting attorney general, matt whitaker. he has been a vocal critic of the mueller probe but he now overseas it. this morning, the likely future chairman of the house judiciary committee, representative jerry nadler, says they want whitaker to testify. >> our very first witness after january 3, we will subpoena mr. -- we will

in the senate race, rick scott leading bill nelson by a razor thin margin. it's a similar story in the governor's race with republican ron desantis leading andrew gillum. they are working around the clock to get this done. michael barnett is the chairman of the republican party in palm beach county, florida. i wonder if the deadline is missed, the current results stand. you say that is good news for republicans because our candidates are ahead. a factual statement, but are you okay without every vote being recounted to make sure the outcome is accurate? >> i'm okay with the count as long as it's in accordance with the laws. there are deadlines for providing results for a reason. to prevent voter fraud and votes being materialized out of thin air as we have in palm beach and broward. where are the votes coming from. they are doing the right thing by litigating to find out what's going on and why the count continued after the deadline contrary to law. >> authorities have thrown cold water on the idea of voter fraud there. you disagree. have you seen concrete e

bottom line is this is a razor thin margin. both candidates should push it to the end. >> you reference arizona. the president tweeted, arizona signatures don't match. call for a new election? is that because the republicans are losing, he is calling for a new election in arizona? >> well, again, looks like they're doing things different county by county. there needs to be a uniform standard. he knows he can't call for a new election, that's something he doesn't have the authority to do. he doesn't say he has the authority to do that. he puts the question mark there very ably. i don't think that's what he is going for, but hey, if there's a significant problem there, we have to continue to look into it. how is that different than what the democrats are saying in georgia and florida? how is that different? they're fighting battles that are already over. there are not enough votes to close the margins. they're very tight races. democrats ran good campaigns, but they're over. you have two republican governors in those two. >> he i

>> retailers operate on razor thin margins. when these tariffs are put in place, there is nowhere else for the prices to go except for what american consumers pay. that means higher prices great when you look at 20% tariffs, we are focused on trying to make sure customers are getting the best value and the best prices in our store and online. we are working hard with our supply chain executives and sourcing to make sure we are bringing the best products to american families. do you rally with shoppers out there, the folks going to the brick and mortars, ? e clicking onto any website how do you say this matters, because i would like to think folks who did black friday and are going into cyber monday and are -- are not really thinking about the trade war as top of mind. >> we want consumers to be focused on going into our stores this thanksgiving and holiday. the products they are most excited about -- we want to make sure our products are priced at the right price point and ready for holiday all around the country. how we think

but also going to straight razors. hanoi will be on the streets of the city and i think that again will make it different. they very much located in the same way that abu dhabi or singapore do, which is an opportunity to put the city and the country on the map. an opportunity to attract tourism. the singapore grand prix this year him of the promoter told me that they has 16,000 people fly over from india for the race. they have got more tickets sold people from other parts of asia, which is exactly what they want because that benefits local businesses, hotels, restaurants, shopping all that sort. i think that is very much the agenda ina i think that is very much the agenda in a honda wait for them to give them a platform for the seeding and them a platform for the seeding and the country on the global map. do you think hanoi will bump silverstone off the circuit? should british fans worried it will not be grande prairie in britain?” british fans worried it will not be grande prairie in britain? i do not think having

as you know florida is known for its elections with razor thin margins, and as the recount looms emotions flare in the sunshine state. governor rick scott alleging fraud in broward and palm beach counties, and accusing the democrats of trying to steal the election, and not providing proof but instead saying this. >> here we go again. i will not sit idly by while unethical liberals try to steal this election from the great people of florida. >> reporter: scott filing two lawsuits against those two counties alleging irregularities and a lack of transparency and calling for the florida department of law enforcement investigation. there could be questions about a potential conflict of interest given the fact he is the chief executive of the state and while he appoints the commissioner of the agency, now democrat bill nelson fighting back saying that all of this is politically motivated as those margins narrow and the margins are narrowing. if you look at the governor's race, the margin is .44% or 36 thundershower votes. the senate race is .18%, and the magic number for an automatic recount is
