good morning, everybody. don lemon here alongside poppy harlow and kaitlan collins. i it is friday, november 4th, just a i a few days before election day. the jobs report is out in just a few hours. and provocation from north korea that causes the south to scramble fighter jets. we ll take you live to south korea straight ahead. and when lsu and alabama predictably tangle tomorrow, there s going to be a lot on the line, including mine and don s relationship. just a short time from now, the october jobs report is coming out and the white house is hoping for a goldie locks number, not too big, not too small, just four days before the mid terms. good morning to you. i hope that an irritating lawn mower is not with you this morning. reporter: it is actually behind me but i guess you can t hear it this morning as well. good morning. reporter: hey, so, yeah, what we re expecting this morning, typically on a normal jobs day, the white house is going to look for a jobs nu
social media, how divisive he is, are voters do they want that again? are they in for that ride again? well, you know, it s interesting because you d like to say no. you d like to say we re still a nation of civility and compassion and good manners but i think back to 2015 when donald trump in iowa made some jokes about john mccain and said, you know, i like war heros who haven t been caught and an awful lot of us thought that s it, he s never going to survive that. we saw he s been able to survive that and much worse. what s been so fascinating about the reaction to the horrific attack on paul pelosi is the number of other republicans who have leaned in on that and made jokes about it, whether it s carey lake or greg youngkin. it almost seems to the maga base, that kind of political
