>> dangerous enough for the deputy director of the cia to say there are more foreign fighters flooding into syria to fight with al qaeda today than there ever were at the height of the war in iraq which kind of says it all. why? when you think of this according to al qaeda experts and academics i speak to regularly is that the army in syria, al qaeda's guerilla army. they will move that army to whatever front is next anywhere in the world. many probably came from afghanistan or iraq where they learned to fight the u.s. they come from north africa, yemen, they come from all over. that organization particularly has very close contact with ahman al zawahiri over in the pakistan region. it's very much a movement based on ideology that has very little to do with the kind of organization we're used to. it's right there in the center of a country that has massive chemical weapons. >> speak to that point in terms of what is the threat if al qaeda and al qaeda affiliates get control of a state? >> well the people who know the most about chemical weapons in the united states, charlie, say that what is scary about syria is not just the presence of chemical stockpiles it's the knowledge, the technical knowledge and training and know how and delivery systems that are required to deliver those weapons. a dirty bomb is terrifying as a concept but it really is not even as effective as many conventional weapons. what they are afraid of in syria is that the people who know how to use them and the delivery systems that are required to deliver chemical weapons to the most devastating effect is all sitting there. nobody knows who is going to win the peace in syria, it may very will be al qaeda. >> they are insurgents fighting somewhat with themselves. >> that's interesting, charlie. it's become a word everybody loves to use to describe these organizations. when you track what al qaeda says and the movement of their people, this is not an organization divided up into different regions and does their own thing. they are united by their ideology. they make that very plain. they have the same intent. their intent today is exactly the same as it was pre9/11. it's exactly what osama bin laden said it was, and it's never changed. if you read their magazines, listen to their videos all their statements they point out. they sent their best bombmaker in the world to run part of their organization in algeria. it's the training ground to send fighters to different front all around the world. we have this sense we want to divide anything up and say today yemen is the most dangerous tomorrow algeria, then north africa. the fact is al qaeda's ideology is what's at the core. that's why they are called the base. the base is the uniting factor. that's where it comes electric. taking more terror and spreading ideology and that's that what's them more dangerous. >> good to see you. a massive pipe explosion. it happened near erie. flames shot 300 feet in the air, could be seen for 80 miles. people forced out but most allowed back in this morning. crews shut off a natural gas line but flames expected to burn for several hours. no injuries reported. former isn't of state hillary clinton is doing little to end speculation she wants to be the next president. in san francisco she announced she'll be making policy speeches in the fall. john blackstone shows us how political watchers are reading between the lines. >> i am so deeply grateful to you for this award. >> accepting an award from the american bar association, hillary clinton criticized the supreme court decision striking down protections in the voting rights act. >> as secretary of state, i saw other countries take steps to increase voter participation and strengthen democratic processes. there's no reason we cannot do the same here in america. >> while the potential presidential candidate did not mention the 2016 election, she outlined plans that sounded a lot like a launch pad for a campaign. >> i will talk about the balance and transparency necessary in our national security policies as we move beyond a decade of wars to face new threats. >> bruce cain stanford university political scientist. >> it's definitely a shadow campaign. there's no question about that. everybody in the party assumes hillary clinton will run. everybody in the democratic party assumes she'll be the front-runner. >> republicans seems to assume that, too. a new ad reeled by the gop criticizes clinton's handling of the terrorist attack in benghazi. >> was it because guys out for a walk one night decided they would kill americans. what difference at this point does it make. >> in iowa the first caucus state, emily's list a woman that promotes women candidates has launched a campaign. clinton wasn't at the town hall meeting but undoubtedly on everyone's mind. for "cbs this morning," john blackstone san francisco. >> while clinton isn't showing her hand we might get clues from anthony weiner. the embattled mayor candidate gave an interview. good morning. >> the interview took place at a manhattan bar. he skips the traditional beer for iced coffee. once he got settled he talked scandal, politics and family. in an interview late monday with viral website buzz feed anthony weiner admitted he's still getting help in the wake of his sexting scandal. >> you never go out of therapy. they have this thing where you remain in forever. i still see a therapist from time to time. >> throughout the 45-minute sitdown, he opened up about everything from his campaign to his wife huma abedin longtime aide to hillary clinton. >> do you know what her role in hillary's 2016 campaign will be? >> i do. >> what will it be? >> i'm not telling you. >> do you feel like you've damaged her place in that world? >> i feel what i've done has hurt her, yeah. it's hurt her professionally hurt her personally. >> the interview came hours after a new poll revealed a record 80% of new york voters have an unfavorable opinion of the new york hopeful. >> i put out two books of new ideas. >> reporter: while weiner didn't mention the polls or scandal in a new tv ad he did call out his critics. >> look, powerful voices have made it clear from the very beginning they didn't want me to win. this isn't about what they want. they have gotten their way for far too long. >> throughout last night's interview weiner blasted what they called the media's brutal coverage of his campaign at one point taking aim at a major newspaper. >> "the new york times," wait for it doesn't want me to win. this is the same people that brought you a third term from mike bloomberg. i don't care. it makes them nuts i don't care. >> he didn't spare host and buzz feed editor in chief ben smith. >> you can do this or show videos of cats or whatever it is you do at buzz feed. >> weiner also said he hasn't spoken to the clintons in months. he said in general he's keeping his distance from his colleagues in public life because he knows he has a lot to prove to them. charlie, norah. >> thanks elaine. new york's current mayor michael bloomberg is furious over the federal judge's ruling. the judge says the stop and frisk policies illegally targets minorities. she's naming an independent monitor to overseas changes. bloomberg says the policy has saved thousands of lives, most of whom are young minority men. >> this is a very dangerous decision made by a judge that i think just does not understand how policing works. we believe we have done exactly what the courts allow and the constitution allows us to do and we will continue to do everything we can to keep this city safe. >> bloomberg is vowing to appeal the ruling. >> a florida security guard is hailed as a hero. he evacuated people from a resort near was the disney world and collapsed into a sinkhole. it took about 15 minutes to remove guests staying at summer bay resort sunday night. manuel, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah and viewers in the west. resort management indicated the sinkhole is as big as it will get, 100 feet wide. engineers are still boring into the ground to determine whether it will expand. guests who were staying in this three-story building knew something is wrong when it started to creak and windows shattered. >> where? >> it's not a patient. we have a building that's potentially collapsing. i don't know if it's a sinkhole or what. >> a security guard helped evacuate more than 100 people before this happened. eventually a third of the building fell into the hole. maggie gamry, her 3-year-old son and their friends had just checked into the resort sunday evening. >> i started hearing banging even before i walked in, i heard this clank, like metal on metal, like someone hitting something hard. i was looking where it was coming from. right away my alerts were raised. windows were exploding, people throwing their luggage out the window. >> everyone made it out safely. sinkholes are a common site in florida. here is why. underneath much of the state is a layer of porous limestone washed away by seeping water. all that remains is a thin bridge of clay soil and sand which can collapse. >> like an hourglass, sands through the hourglass, it slowly creeps in. >> geologists say a sinkhole this size is not uncommon but difficult to predict. >> the cavities themselves form over thousands of years. it's at a point like this one, very suddenly that material can collapse into that cavity. >> but you have no idea it might happen. >> that's true. >> reporter: next month the florida geological survey will begin a new mapping project hoping to identify areas where sinkholes are likely to form. charlie and norah. >> manuel thank you. a man fell to his death last night at turner field in atlanta. ronald hobert, jr.,'s mother said he called her from the braves phillies game. he said he was going back in from the rain delay. they think the fall from the upper decrease was an accident. >> hannah anderson was abducted near san diego last week. authorities say james dimaggio took her to idaho. they say he fired at least one shot before fbi agents returned fire killing him saturday. anderson didn't learn that her mother and brother had been killed until after her rescue. her father is now asking for privacy. >> as for my daughter the healing process will be slow. she has been through a tremendous horrific ordeal. i am very proud of her and i love her very much. >> authorities confirm hannah was a victim through the ordeal held against her will. >> one of the most infamous mobsters in american history finally faces justice. a jury has convicted james "whitey" bulger on all but one of the 32 counts. then we're hearing from one of the jewelers don dahler outside the courthouse. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. this was a culmination of whitey bulger's legendary life of crime to span two decades. the man who ruled with an iron fist showed little emotion when the verdict came down. >> james "whitey" bulger now stands convicted for his role as the ringleader as theof the gang. >> convicted on 31 counts extortion, arms trafficking, murder. >> the evidence presented over the last months left no do the to anyone of the atrocities committed by mr. bulger and his associates. >> whitey bulger run the irish mafia, a living legend in the world of crime. he was the inspiration behind jack nicholson's character. >> swear on your mother's grave. >> testimony from more than 60 witnesses in bulger's trial was much like a screen play. witnesses whose tooets were pulled to keep them from being identified strangulations torture. among victims michael donahue, an innocent bystander gunned down for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. donahue's wife and son say the guilty verdict has been a long time coming. >> after 30 years, an overwhelming feeling. >> never giving up. no matter how much it took out of me i wasn't going to stop until the very end, until he was found guilty. >> the juror told boston affiliate wbz that even some of his fellow jurors were afraid of the aging mobster. >> people talking about the mob still existing, afraid they would be singled out. some lived in south boston. >> bulger's conviction came after 16 years on the run with help from corrupt law enforcement agencies. they tracked him down in california where he was living the life of a retiree. >> mr. bulger knew as soon as he was arrested that he was going to die behind the walls of a prison. >> reporter: bulger will be sentenced on november 13th. charlie and norah, his lawyers say they will appeal. >> don thanks. time to show you some of this morning's headlines.

>> the real meaning is healing for the city of boston. we look at victims and the families of victims. one of the things we have to remember is that this was a city that was injured. it was a collective not only injured by whitey bulger the gangster that ran this reign of terror but really injured by its government. i think what we take away is good. someone who was out on the lamb for 16 years brought to justice, brought now to say he will never see the light of day. we also got to expose government corruption at a level that is staggering. >> there is no doubt he was a character and no doubt he was a vicious murderer. as you point out, this was also a lot about the fbi and their actions as well which raised a lot of questions about what they were doing for decades with their association with whitey bulger. >> the fbi had its worst era of corruption during the decades that involved bulger and his predecessor, fleming. what we saw was an fbi that was involved with crime but facilitated, encouraged these people and pointed out people to hit or kill. that should never happen again. one of the things that's interesting about the families and their appreciation of these appointed defense lawyers is that the defense lawyers through cross-examination, they are the ones that brought out the corruption. i very rarely share a direct quote with you about you i think it is worth sharing today. the defense says from hank brennan, jay and are encouraged that this government's corruption and coverup has been exposed but this is just tip of the iceberg. the victims families and citizens deserve a congressional inquiry and insistence on government accountability. >> what did the fbi say, well a couple of bad apples but it is a very rare exception? >> yes, that's what they said. what the argument has been by many many people who have followed this trial and its saga is that this was endemic, this was not a couple of bad apples. >> what did the dmefsefense in reality expect to get out of this trial. they agreed there was extortion, drug dealing, money laundering. the only things contested really were the murders and particularly of the two women. one, there was a finding of proven. one, no finding at all. but, ultimately, the department of justice through this u.s. attorney's office is the victor. this is some saga. i've lived through it in that town since the '70s. it is good that it has come to a close. >> rikki klieman, good thank very much. celebrity chef paula dean has won a partial victory in the lawsuit that began her down fall. most of her sponsors dropped her after she revealed in a court deposition she had used racial slurs. a federal judge yesterday threw out a racial discrimination charge made by a former manager at one of dean's restaurants. the judge ruled lisa jackson cannot make that claim, because she is white. jackson also claims she was sexually harassed and that case will continue the new york city liner is full of eye-catching skyscrapers. one building could upstage them all if a clothing maker gets its way. that's in times square. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the adds are only out numbered by the tourists. one company has big plans to rise above all that noise. >> reporter: 48 stories high and 70 feet tall the signs coming to this new york city skyscraper will be unmissable and, that's the point. >> you will certainly be able to see it anywhere you can see the top of the building. >> reporter: jordan barowitz works for durst, the company that owns this building. when they approached them with their advertising plan they said welcome to the neighborhood. >> it took h&m to have the vision to see the kind of reach and power these signs will have. >> reporter: a 1400-square foot sign will adorn each of the four sides of the building. the largest advertisements in the largest city in the country. for some new yorkers, that's a big issue. >> no one should be allowed to mess with new york's skyline. >> reporter: marissa readdanty lives nearby. >> the buildings are like a forest and now we have something interrupting the whole flow. >> reporter: if not new york city, where does a sign like this go?

>> patients can have a lot of frustration with the health care system. if they have a problem today, they might have to wait several weeks for an appointment. when they get that appointment, they may only have 10-15 minutes of actual face to face time. with a group visit, you may have more face to face time with the doctor, maybe an hour to two hours but you just have to share that time with other people. so you all get to ask your questions and get more information in the group setting. >> that's the benefit. what's the down side? what do people say about their privacy. >> privacy is one thing. we try to emphasize to people this is still a medical visit. they have to respect other people's privacy and not share any of the information outside of the group. the other down side is that you would only use this for chronic conditions, things where your condition is pretty stable and not necessarily that controversial. >> such as? >> so for example diabetes high blood pressure high cholesterol. you wouldn't use something like this for a drug or alcohol abuse problem, for example. we still emphasize privacy but it is a different nature in terms of the stakes of the privacy. >> is it your judgment that most of the patients who do this are saturdays fitd by satisfied by the experience and believe it was worthy? >> people that do it volunteer for it. it is not something forced upon it. the people that do it usually do like it. some of them like the group setting, specially for patients that are quiet or think of questions later. the group setting is nice. other people may ask questions and think of things they might not otherwise ask about and they might get support. >> people at homer saying i don't want to share my time with the doctor. i have my own concern, some privacy concerns. is this about cost effectiveness? does it save money? >> it wouldn't substitute for the actual individual visit. this would be sort of in addition, if they wanted more information. in terms of cost savings, the studies are mixed. it has only been studied in a few conditions soes far. it looks like generally speaking, it saves people on hospitalizations. for example, with diabetes people are less likely to be hospitalize. that can save up to $7500 per patient. dr. devi thank you. rand paul is here in studio 57. he will tell us why he is putting aside party differences and working with president obama in one key battle. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: health health"cbs healthwatch" sponsored by allergan. talk to your doctor about chronic migraine. sponsored by allergan. talk to your doctor about chronic migraine. 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more. it's proven to actually prevent headache days. and it's injected by a doctor once every 3 months. the effects of botox® (onabotulinumtoxina) may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threatening condition. side effects may include allergic reactions neck and injection site pain fatigue, and headache. don't take botox® if you have a skin infection. tell your doctor about your medical history muscle or nerve conditions and medications, including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. the dose of botox® is not the same as other botulinum toxins. put the odds on your side. visit botoxchronicmigraine.com and talk to a headache specialist. coming up on >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald good morning. i'm frank mallicoat. 8:25. time for some news headlines on this tuesday morning. city workers are on strike this morning in hayward. they are picketing in front of city hall. they say the city refuses to bargain with them on a new contract. they plan to strike through thursday. but the union says members will continue to employee sensing services such as 911 dispatching and animal control for the city. there was a slippery mess on a road in solano county this morning. tomatoes everywhere! they were all dumped on pedrick road near 80 in dixon. the truck wrecked just before 3:00. the road was reopened at 6:00. the interstate unaffected a law signed by governor brown gives california's transgender children a choice starting the first of the year. the state's 6 million public school students can choose restrooms and the locker rooms now based on gender identity. traffic and weather for a tuesday right after the break. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] wouldn't it be great if all devices had backup power?

FremontCaliforniaUnited-statesAmerican-barMount-vacaAlameda-countyArlingtonTexasVermontOcean-countyNew-jerseyRedwood-city the judge just reminding everyone to remain silent in the courtroom as we wait for the verdict. >> talk about who's allowed to be in that courtroom. you've mentioned certain family members have been there. do we know who's inside today? >> reporter: yeah, inside today is a niece of whitey bulger. we're waiting for his brother, who's been here throughout, to be back in the whitey bulger family row. but a lot of the murder victims' families have been here as well. one man who i've been speaking to throughout whose sister was murdered allegedly by whitey bulger. so he's been here throughout. also, the son of one man who was murdered through all of this. so they've been here watching. then there were also ten seats available to the public and a lot -- oh, judge is reading the verdict right now, thomas. we're still waiting. i'm getting that word. stand by and we can have that for you. yeah, a lot of victims' families, the public watching. today really a packed courtroom as that verdict is being read right now. >> kristen, you said there are ten seats that are allotted to the public. obviously something through a lottery that goes out to those ten individuals. >> reporter: yeah, the public has been able to line up in the mornings and to get in as well. ten seats, not a lot. there's been intense interest in this case. let me just check and see, actually. we've been watching twitter as well to see if i can get you some type of verdict and if anyone is hearing it in the control room as well, if they can let me know what the verdict is. >> again, for those just joining us, it's breaking news coverage right now of the whitey bulger trial. our kristen dahlgren is on the scene. this is after five days of deliberations that this boston jury has come back with a verdict, all in reference to the federal racketeering charges against a person known in boston and certainly around the country as being this infamous mob boss. he he faces life in prison if found guilty of these 19 counts of murder and dozens of other charges. kristen, any word yet from our producer inside? >> reporter: yeah, still no word. the foreman is sitting forward in his chair, we're reading. a lot of tweets. any second now. the judge was looking over the verdict. again, a really long verdict form. had to look at each of those counts to make sure it was filled out properly. so the judge now looking through those. then we'll wait to hear it actually being read out in the courtroom. so a lot of anticipation here as we wait for that. and one reason this case has struck so much interest is that whitey bulger was on the run for quite a long time. on the eve of an indictment -- on count one now, we're hearing guilty. it looks like on count one, at least on one of those counts. let me look through my notes here. that is the racketeering conspiracy. so on racketeering conspiracy, count one, found guilty. count two, also one of those counts is guilty. that's another racketeering substantive. it looks like that is the death of michael malano. at least on one of those murder counts, it looks like the jury found that he did cause the death of that victim. now, whitey bulger, 83 years old. as you're looking at this, the most he could get is a life sentence. really, if you're looking at any amount of time, it looks like whitey bulger will be spending the rest of his life in prison. so waiting as it comes in. it's coming in kind of shorthand here. we're having to look through it. >> kristen, let me give you a break. i'll recap here while you collect what you've got. count one has come in guilty. that's racketeering conspiracy. also, count two has come in as guilty. that's racketeering substantive offense. under that count of count two means there are subsections, which then the jury needs to go through and decide that if the government has proven its case, as opposed to saying guilty or not guilty, the onus is being on proved or not proved. then the jury has to go through and decide that on all these subcounts against whitey bulger. if they had found him to be not guilty of count two of racketeering, they wouldn't have to go through that litany of other charges beneath that. so this is a large -- this will be a large ruling coming down against whitey bulger because they did come to a determination he was guilty on count two. legal analyst and lawyer karen desoto joins me right now. you're hearing this breaking news. again, whitey bulger found guilty of count one and count two. am i interpreting that right for everybody about count two and the fact that there are all these other issues that need to be proven or not proven by the government? >> yes, you are. with the racketeering, it gets a little tricky in these cases because you have to find that two of the incidents were within ten years. so there's some technicalities that i think has been a surprise to everybody that he was found guilty on the racketeering and the extortion. it does get a little technical with the racketeering cases because the law is pretty extensive and complicated. however, on the murder and the killing, those are pretty, you know, simple in that regard. again, as was said, he's 83 years old. so even a ten-year sentence is going to be a life sentence for mr. bulger. >> just so i can explain to everybody, again, i have the list of charges in front of me. when we go underneath the count two itself, how it's broken down, it would be the murder of michael malano, the murder of al plumber, the murder of james o'toole, the conspiracy to murder james sosa, the murder of james sosa, murder of paul ma n magonagle. so this goes on and on. it's a true litany. the jury has to decide whether the government has proved or not proved its case. if they came back on count two of racketeering in finding him guilty, does that mean that they would have automatically filled in the blanks, so to speak that, the government did prove the fact of that charge for all of the sub counts? >> yes, essentially that's what it means. as we've learned with a lot of these cases, the jury instructions are often very complicated. with these federal instructions -- and like i said, the racketeering, it gets very confusing for the jury. they try their best to go through. remember, there's 32 counts, 19 killings, extortion, money laundering, weapons charges. they try to make it as easy as possible for the jury. that's kind of tough when you have something as technical as this. >> with the amount of charges leveled against whitey bulger in five days that this jury deliberated, are you surprised with a five-day turn around, or does that sound like it was a substantial amount of time? >> no, i think they had him at hello, thomas. there have been lifetime movies and books written on mr. bulger. it's no surprise. there was mountains of evidence, even with his associates in other cases and other trials. that actually was an issue ongoing in this trial with evidence against the others and the associates and how it was brought into this particular trial. but i don't think it's any surprise, especially to those in boston, given such an iconic monster, if you will. there's been so much information in movies and books on this particular person. so, you know, in principle, even though he's 83 years old and he's been on the run as an fbi informant, i think that this was an important case for the government to bring forward and finally bring closure to a lot of these people. there are 19 killings. we don't know if there's even more of those, but closure to the families and other people correlated to this case. >> attorney karen desoto. thanks for your insight. want to go back to nbc's kristen dahlgren outside on the scene in boston. you heard karen say this jury had him at hello. what more insight can you give us about the counts leveled against him? >> reporter: yeah, so the first two counts, racketeering conspiracy and also racketeering substantive ochffense, guilty verdicts in those two. within the second one were all of these acts. that includes all the acts of murder. so there were some that were not proven and some that were proven. so racketeering act number one, which was conspiracy to murder members of the group, that was not proven as was the murder of michael malano. i misspoke earlier. that was not proven either. the murder of al plumber, not proven. then as we get into some of those later counts, if we get into count eight, the murder of paul magonagle, we have the jury found that was proven. the murder of edward connors, proven. then moving on here, excuse me. we have the conspiracy to murder thomas king proven. the murder of thomas king, it looks like that one i don't have yet. but the murder of francis leonard, not proven. so again, a very lengthy trial. a lot for them to look at when you're looking at in the racketeering charge. there were multiple counts under that. so that's all still being read now in the courtroom. so the significant part of it is on those two counts, the racketeering counts. it looks like he was found guilty. they really only needed to prove two of those acts committed within ten years of each other in order to get that guilty. so there were multiple murders that were proven there. so we're continuing to get things in here. it looks like more guiltys found as well as we go through this. so it looks like the reputed mob boss whitey bulger will be going to prison for the rest of his life, thomas. >> kristen, we're going to let you regroup and go back to your phone and check off what's proven and not proven. we have michael smerconish here, syndicated radio show host. you're here for another segment. lucky for me, i have you here now. as kristen was telling us, we have the racketeering conspiracy, racketeering substantive offense, both guilty on those counts. as we go through and look at what the information kristen is getting in, the conspiracy to murder members of the group, not proven. michael, not provb. al plumber, not proven. then we get into paul, thomas king. those were proven. that's just the tip of the iceberg with the amount of charges that they still have to go. >> what matters most to whitey bulger, and this may found foolish because here's a guy going away for the rest of his life, was sort of the trial within the trial. thomas, he wanted something clearly understood, that he was not a snitch and that he did not kill women or order or participate in the killing of women. there were some outbursts in the course of this trial where individuals were offering testimony against him and it was like straight out of a movie. he would engage them. he would trash talk them. there were expletives going back and forth. it wasn't about 90% of that. it was about the issue of whether he cooperated with the feds and whether he participated in the killing of women. there's this mob code. you know, it's sort of okay if you're participating in a murder but not women and you can't be a snitch. >> well, it depends on if it's apples to apples. if you're taking out someone that's like you or in the same business as you. also, the snitch thing, i know that goes in deep for the mob code. you don't want to be seen as some kind of rat. meanwhile, he was, you know, off the radar for a very long time, being on the wanted list for so long. it's very interesting, as kristen points out. certainly an infamous type of person in boston, but for the rest of the country to get to know who this character is and then to hear how this trial has gone down, it's been fascinating to hear about. cameras not being allowed into the courtroom just leaves us all to read those transcripts. you're absolutely right. the f-bombs were going back and forth. >> on those issues, right. most of this, you almost got the impression he was proud of it. like, yeah, that's me and that's what i've done. yes, i was the head of this crime family in boston and so forth. just don't say those other things about me because that's when you cross a line. it's hard for the rest of us to understand from the outside looking in, but it's truly like godfather part four, which they never made. >> again, our kristen dahlgren, thanks there to her for this. whitey bulger, the verdict is in. he is guilty of count one, racketeering conspiracy, guilty of count two, which is the racketeering with lesser offenses involving the different murders that he was charged with being either in charge of or conspiracy of. karen desoto is still on the line for us. karen, as we were getting from kristen dahlgren about these other charges, whether or not they were proved or not proved by the government, it seems almost half and half what they were able to prof in terms of which murders they are considering him to be guilty of as opposed to the ones they're not. >> right, exactly. i mean, with the case of 72 witnesses, 840 exhibits, and there was a lot of back and forth. obviously, other people have gone in for the murders correlated to this case. one of the ongoing arguments was, you know, the evidence from the other trials, whether that was going to be allowed into this trial. obviously, when you have so many -- when you have 19 killings, obviously the prosecutors did a great job with doing as much as they could. you know what? as far as the jury, really, great job that they were able to, you know, go through all of these cases, the 19 killings, and actually have a clear head enough to say, you know what, there wasn't enough evidence in one, but there was enough in the others, especially in a case where you have so many mountains of evidence and a lot of attorneys say, well, you know, if you have evidence against one, then they're going to find you guilty on everything. you know, as we can see from this case, jurors do take the case seriously, and they went through the evidence. it's not surprising that one or two murders are going to get off in a case like this. normally, thomas, you never have a case with 19 murders. this is really a serial killer. >> karen, were you able to hear michael smerconish and his observation about the fact that whitey bulger was a guy that didn't want to be seen as a snitch and didn't want to be seen as someone who killed women, but the rest of it was all okay. >> well, obviously, anyone who's committed 19 murders isn't, you know, dealing with -- you have some mental issues there as well. but, you know, the fact that you murdered 19 people and you're worried about honor, that's not surprising. when you have multiple killings like this, you're not going to be dealing with people who have a full deck. it's important for them to get those issues across at the end of the day as long as they get -- go to prison and they're not in charge of a crime family from far away or operating it from prison. i mean, that's a win. so no, that's not surprising. you're not dealing with an every day person. and it is intriguing. the information that was brought out by these witnesses, i mean, it really was like listening to -- watching "the sopranos" and all of those deep, dark things everyone is interested in. i'm sure if there were cameras in the courtroom, if they were allowed in federal court, you would -- people would be, you know, fascinated with the type of life that this man has led. >> all right. well, again, if you're just joining us, we've been following the breaking news out of boston. the verdict is back in the federal trial against whitey bulger. the jury has found him guilty of the two largest counts. count one, racketeering conspiracy. count two, racketeering substantive offense. we're going to be back with much more after this. alón rojo, is kicking off fun and fitness on and off the field, with the help of soccer

the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make. together. more on the breaking news out of boston. the jury is back in the federal trial against alleged mob boss whitey bulger. now he has been found guilty on different conspiracy and racketeering charges. let's go to our kristen dahlgren. she's outside the courthouse there in boston. kristen, what more have you put together? >> reporter: yeah, hi, thomas. among those racketeering charges were 19 separate acts of murder. according to the jury, it was proven that he committed or was co-conspirator in 11 of those killings. whitey bulger found responsible for 11 of the 19 killings that he was accused of. that's part of those racketeering charges. now, in the courtroom right now, the jury has left. the judge has instructed them that they don't need to speak. the judge earlier today was trying to make the decision on when she would release the names of those jurors. so we're still waiting for that. it's expected then that the victims' families will file out of the courtroom and courthouse and will address the media and then we should hear from the defense attorneys and then finally the u.s. attorney in this case will speak, the prosecutors who actually tried the case will not speak until after the sentencing. that sentencing, the judge says, is going to begin on november 13th. it's expected that could take several days. sometime in mid-november we'll we'll find out exactly how long whitey bulger will spend in prison. >> kristen dahlgren outside the boston courthouse, thank you very much. i want to bring in a journalist from "the boston globe." it's good to have you with us. mike, we have the proof, the conviction from this jury on the 11 different killings. the gangland crimes of whitey bulger. he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail. he's 83 years old. are you surprised at how quickly the jury came back, five days? >> not really. this was a very sophisticated, sweeping racketeering indictment. you had 33 acts, criminal acts. it was complicated. they went through all these -- i think one by one in terms of the violations. what was interesting was that, you know, he was convicted of 11 of 19 murders. my interesting point was obviously the jury may have had a problem believing one of the key witnesses in this case, perhaps a hitman who testified about a number of murders, murders he committed, and the jury felt that bulger's involvement in those murders was not proven. on the other hand, there was some key victories for the prosecution. the waterfront murder in south boston in 1982 of michael donah donahue. a couple other murders, the murder of roger wheeler in oklahoma. the jury took a long time. i think people expected this to come back a lot quicker. they went through all kinds of deliberations on each of the charges. so i think they took their time and did it very deliberately. >> again, this was a two-month trial. mike, do you agree with the assessment? as federal prosecutors portrayed whitey bulger during this time as a cold-blooded guy that didn't think twice about taking you out, the one thing that bulger did not want to be seen as during this trial was a snitch or somebody that went after women. >> well, i think the prosecution read a whole detailed file on his fbi informant days and loaded a lot of evidence that suggested that he provide information to the fbi on a variety of issues and other underworld activities. i also think they found him guilty of the murder of debra hussie. the only thing they didn't find him guilty in the killing of a woman was debra davis. no finding in that murder. it was alleged he had strangled davis. that was interesting the jury separated those two. they found him guilty of strangling one but not the other. we'd love to hear from the jury. unfortunately, we probably won't get their names for another week. it was interesting the way the jury went separate ways on that. >> again, james whitey bulger convicted today on charges against him in conspiracy and racketeering. we're waiting to find out exactly what the details will be for sentencing. we'll be back with much more right after this. is like hammering. riding against the wind. uphill. every day. we make money on saddles and tubes. but not on bikes. my margins are thinner than these tires. anything that gives me some

"the news nation" also following two developing stories. first, in the past hour, attorney general eric holder unveiled major changes in federal policy concerning drug offenses. in an effort to relieve overcrowding in federal prisons, the attorney general announced prosecutors will no longer seek what he called draconian mandatory minimum sentences for many low-level, nonviolent drug offenders. >> it's clear as we come together today that too many americans go to too many prisons for far too long and for no truly good law enforcement reason. it's clear -- [ applause ] >> also today, a federal judge ruled new york city's controversial stop and frisk program violents the constitutional rights of minorities by conducting stops in a racially discriminatory manner. the judge called for a federal monitor to oversee reforms. mayor michael bloomberg reacted minutes ago taking aim at the judge. >> she conveyed a disturbing disregard for the good intentions of our police officers who form the most diverse police department in the country and who put their lives on the line for us every single day. throughout the case, we didn't believe that we were getting a fair trial. this decision confirms that suspicion. we'll be presenting evidence of that unfairness to the appeals court. >> i want to bring in syndicated columnist earl hutchinson. great to have you here. i want to start with the attorney general. obviously holder's announcement is big news when it comes to changing policies for low-level, nonviolent drug offenders. i want to play more of what he had to say in this announcement 37 . >> let's be honest. some of the enforcement priorities we have set have had a destabilizing effect on particularly community, largely poor and of color. and applied inappropriately, they are ultimately counterproductive. >> earl, what's your reaction to this, and how do you think this is going to go over as the attorney general tries to move forward with this? >> well, i think it was a major announcement. i think it will be greeted very, very well among civil rights advocates, civil libertarians, and of course among african-americans and of course hispanic leaders. one of the -- two big things about this. it's been building for a while. the administration has made it clear going back in time that there are disparities in terms of how the drug laws are being enforced and more particularly how the sentencing is playing out. i mean, we've seen the statistics over and over again. a disproportionate number of african-americans and hispanics, crack cocaine, marijuana, all the drugs. young whites? no. you've seen that. in 2010, equalized crack cocaine versus powder cocaine in terms of the sentencing on that. so there were hints all along from the obama administration and attorney general eric holder they were going to make some changes. i think it will play very well because it really is, when you strip everything away, it's an issue as the attorney general said, an issue of fairness. i think this, certainly, many people are mindful of. >> so you say there have been hinting placed all along from the administration or from the a.g. should people not be scratching their head with the question of why is the attorney general doing this now? >> no, no. because going back three years, essentially when they gave a mandate to congress, the obama administration and attorney general holder, let's change the laws, let's modify the laws. they've also talked about marijuana, how we deal with those and enforce those laws. and also other drugs too. i think the overriding concern on the part of the attorney general and of course president obama is this. you have so many african-americans, especially young african-american males, so many young hispanic males that are essentially in prison for long terms under the mandatory sentencing laws with no recourse. they feel, and correctly so, it's just simply not fair. >> let's look at the ruling that came out today from the federal judge here in new york talking about the city's stop and frisk program, that it violates the constitutional rights of new york city residents. no comment so far from the white house on this. however, the naacp president ben jealous has reacted by saying this is a ground-breaking victory. in this federal judge's decision, it recognized what the naacp has been saying all along for years, that the racial profiling tactic of stop and frisk has no play in our enlightened society. do you think that -- now, again, this has been going in new york city for a very long time. we heard the mayor come out and give his reaction, that he thinks that the judge has overreached. do you think that this will get the proper oversight? it seems as if the judge wants to put on this now. they can look at this program and see exactly what it's doing. >> i think the judge wisely understood one thing. it's not going to be greeted by the mayor and among police officials with any joy. no one is going to be popping the champagne cork. i think that's why she put in we need to monitor. but i think there's a bigger issue here. mayor bloomberg -- and i have to be honest -- and new york police officials and other police officials that applaud stob and frisk are not dealing with. they've never given an answer to one burning question. you have 90% of those that have been stopped in new york city -- by the way, in other cities too. it's not just new york. but especially new york. overwhelmingly, young hispanics, overwhelmingly young african-americans, and yet, there has been no charges, no criminal allegations, or activities or even suspicion. in other words, they've been released. how do you justify that? if, in fact, you were really stopping crime through stop and frisk, i would think the numbers would be much greater. the fact is, most people that are stopped, most people that are frisked, most people that are violated, they are charged with nothing. mayor bloomberg, you have a responsibility in your appeal to address that question. >> so what would you say to those on the other side that say this type of law and intimidation law is actually working? the numbers support it in that respect. because people know that it exists. it intimidates people from that behavior so they don't do it. >> no, it doesn't work that way. the fact of the matter is, one thing that mr. bloomberg and new york police officials have said over and over again to support stop and frisk t goes like this. crime is down, murders are down, violent crime and all things that are essentially major crimes in the city are down. they attribute it to stop and frisk. here's the problem with that. crime is down in all major cities across the country. murders are down in all major cities across the country. the fbi has documented that the last few years. so you cannot make a direct connection between one and the other. thomas, the dots are just not connecting here. i'm sorry. it's not working that way. >> earl hutchinson, as always, great to see you. thank you for your time. >> thank you. still ahead, new information on how officials tracked down the san diego man who kidnapped his friend's 16-year-old daughter. >> we seen the amber alert. i seen the girl's face on television. i told my wife, i said, that's the girl we seen on the mountain. >> earlier today, i had a chance to speak with the people who helped police rescue the girl. why they say they knew something was wrong. you need to see it, hear it for yourself. we're back after this. this digiorno dinner from walmart is less than $2.30 a serving. replacing one pizza dinner out a week saves your family of 4 over $1,200 a year. save money. live better. walmart. ♪ every now and then i get a little bit hungry ♪ ♪ and there's nothing good around ♪ ♪ turn around barry ♪ i finally found the right snack ♪ ♪ diarrhea, gas, bloating?

[ phillips' lady ] live the regular life. phillips'. so we're learning much more now about the moments leading up to hanna anderson's abduction in an interview with a local station. the san diego sheriff said the teen had no idea her mom and brother had been killed before she was taken. hann hannah's father is expected to speak out today. brett anderson was reunited with his daughter yesterday, one day after she was rescued by the fbi. authorities say she was being held under duress by her alleged abductor. meanwhile, earlier today i had the opportunity to speak with the four horseback riders who tipped off authorities about spotting hannah and her captor. they said right away they noticed something was off with this pair. >> they sure didn't fit in idaho. he was carrying a cat. there was just a lot of things that was out of place. so when we seen the amber alert, i seen the girl's face on television, i told my wife, i said, that's the girl we seen on the mountain. >> amazing those four people spotted them. our luke russert is in san diego, which is hannah's hometown. what more are we learning about hannah anderson and being back with her father? because there was word that her dad may speak out today. >> reporter: yeah, he's going to have that press conference at 2:30 pacific time, thomas. something that the family had feared was that hannah would not be aware of what happened to her mother or brother. the sheriff here, bill gordon, in an interview with a local station confirmed she was unaware that her mother and brother were actually killed in that fire, presumably set by mr. dimaggio. that is something that the family has been quite worried about. obviously, she went through a traumatic experience being kidnapped and driven on a week-long hostage situation up to idaho, but now that she's coming back to a society where her mom is dead, her brother is dead, thankfully she is alive, but it now becomes a story, thomas, of survival. that is something that her family, while they are very happy she was found yesterday, they've already sort of made that transition into we now need to make sure that this place, this environment is the best it possibly can be for hannah. she now adds her name to the list of the people like elizabeth smart, these folks who sort of grow up in the media spotlight because of something awful and traumatic that happened to them. that's something the family is really trying to prepare for now in san diego. >> as you point out, a press conference expected at 2:30 pacific. luke, thank you. still ahead, presidential hopefuls campaigning in iowa like it's 2016. several very big name republicans are already laying out the ground work. but the potential democratic contenders are not far behind.

[ applause ] >> so vice president joe biden reportedly spent his weekend in the hamptons, but he did have iowa on the brain because aides are confirming he's headed to the state next month for tom harkin's an july steak fry. all this 2016 coverage now is very, very early, isn't it, guys? but let's start out with it seems like we're seeing the same cast in iowa singing the same political song but expecting a different outcome. i want to the start with rick santorum, who has recently in the last couple weeks on "meet the press," has not discounted he might run again for president. he was there in iowa. take a look at what he had to say. >> my challenge to the republican party is to take a page out of our book and start putting forth an agenda of ideas to raise up folks who want to vote for us. you saw it for the last election. they didn't want to vote for president obama. at least he went out and talked to them. at least he went out and spoke about them. we didn't do that. we marginalized them. >> so chris, do you think he's on to something there? i mean, he gets the fact that the voters were marginalized, but is there enough within the republican party platform that's a wide, open-arm embrace? >> the idea of the republican party kind of taking more of a populous tack, if you will, yeah, there's a strategic value to that. the problem the republican party has, more specifically rick santorum, is he's never going to be the messenger of that. 2016 is going to be a very different race than it was in 2012. you had an incredibly weak republican field. you're going to have much more serious candidates. what's interesting about the folks that are going to iowa now, you know, you have trump, santorum, senator cruz. i hate to say it, the right-wing version of the three stooges. this is not going to play well if they become the voices on the far right and move candidates that are more viable folks like christie, you know, to compete with them. that's where they get in trouble. that's what happened last time. it seems like, you know, history is going to repeat itself. >> let's talk more about ted cruz. the daily beast has an article up "cruzzing to victory here." they laughed at his jokes, hissed at his political opponents and rose to their feet for his applause lines. is he somebody who's a gathering storm? meanwhile, there still needs to be the vetting of figuring out whether the canadian-born cruz can run for president because he was born to an american citizen. >> well, absolutely. he's starting to drive some of the conversation. you know, we've all focused a lot on senator rubio for the past couple of months. you've seen senator cruz kind of come from behind and really have a message that plays well in iowa and across to some of the real different conservative base. he's starting to drum that up to try to create a national movement, and it will kind of -- time will only tell whether or not he's able to kind of get those specific pockets. >> all right. so chris, what about fatigue? i mean, is it too early to consider that fatigue is a real and concerning syndrome? and that people are going to get -- they're going to scratch their heads. i mean, iowa is used to being courted. io iowans are used to seeing tv ads and presidential contenders come to their state and show up courting them. but for everybody else, is it going to be too much too soon? >> well, forget about 2016. i'm really excited about 2020. that's going to be a presidential race to watch. yeah, i mean, fatigue is a serious problem. people who are in the business, who love politics, like all of us, are clearly interested in talking about this. to the average person, you know, they're not really focused on 2016 presidential politics. the real story of what's going on here is the organizational and financial difficulties or obstacles that candidates face to run a presidential election today. what's driving this is not simply, you know, ego -- clearly that's part of it. what's really driving this is they need so much money. they need so many resources to be able to compete that it's driving the date of when you're running to a point where it's almost ridiculous. that's what's happening right now. >> anna, do you agree? >> absolutely. you're starting to see -- i can't even believe we're talking about 2016 right now. >> well, he wants to talk 2020. >> well, certainly, i think one of the things you're also seeing is people like claire mccaskill who came out very early in front for obama when he ran the first time, are trying to get on the right side of clinton. you know, if hillary clinton does decide to run, so she's definitely kind of positioning herself. you're seeing maybe a rick santorum try to position himself to try to drive that message or be a surrogate if he doesn't run for one of the republican candidates. >> all right, guys. great to have you on. i'm sorry if we're fatiguing so soon. chris, i love the idea that you're already looking ahead to 2020. we'll have lots and lots of time to talk about it. ann anna, chris, thanks. still ahead, a story that's raised a lot of questions when it comes to medical ethics. a woman whose cells were generated without permission have made advancements in science.

New-yorkUnited-statesOklahomaCanadaIdahoMissouriIowaBostonMassachusettsSan-diegoCaliforniaSouth-boston "today's" testimony before congress. and we'll begin with chief white house correspondent ed henry and the -- late word, ed, on funding for the war effort. >> good evening, brett, the house just voted to give the president the power and $500 million to train and arm the syrian rebels. but the struggle on another front. there's three top defense leaders that say u.s. ground troops should at least be on the table. his credibility on the line over whether he'll stick to his promise of not sending u.s. combat troops to iraq or steera, president obama visited u.s. central command to try to close the door opened by his top military advisor general dempsey. >> the top military that has been deployed to iraq will not have a combat mission. >> as his own former defense -- flatly told cbs news the u.s. cannot win without sending in combat troops. >> there will be boots on the ground if there is to be any hope of success and the strategy, and i think by continuing to repeat that, the president in effect traps 4i8s. >> the president also doubled down on his claims the u.s. can count on the iraqis to serve as the ground troops. >> it is more effective to use our unique capabilities in surp port of partners on the ground so they can secure their own country's futures. >> even the army chief of staff today raised serious questions about the iraqi forces saying they did not fight at all when confronted by isis. tells isis, you've got to have ground forces that are capable of going in and rooting them out, adding that u.s. air strikes will not be the be all and end all solution in iraq. the president is facing real political pressure from the left. >> we are not there to support combat troops in any of these engagements. >> the president's own support continues to dip, with a new new york city times cbs news news poll finding, with 34% approve of his foreign policy, 58% disapprove. republicans like joe manchin are questioning the president's strategy and the coalition john kerry says he's putting together. >> it is important to know your enemy, it is equally important to know our allies and i'm not confident that we know who our allies are. >> reporter: as kerry faced heat from key republicans. >> this doesn't even seem see, it seems like a -- it seems like a political answer to the united states as they cry out got this uncivilized activity. >> i must say to you, i really find it somewhat surprising as we have come back from a week of very serious meetings with nations around the world, all of whom are committed to this. that you sit there and suggest that it's not serious. >> now iranian president denounced isis for it's savagery in an interview with nbc news, by it also charged the u.s. coalition is ridiculous saying the white house is scared of casualties on the ground in iraq. >> ed henry, live on the north lawn, thank you. obama administration officials say illegals from almost 150 countries, some of them state sponsors of terrorism have crossed into the u.s. through the southern border. isis has made no secret of its intention to bring its holy war to america. tonight correspondent doug mcelway reports to prevent that from happening in the future, it is useful to examine how it's happened in the past. >> reporter: egyptian born mahmoud alima stayed in the uls after his visa expired by claiming to be an agricultural worker. he helped carry out the world trade center bombing. today three obama administration officials testified about the latest efforts to protect the homeland from a new generation of terrorists. >> how will you assure the american people that another trvt h terrorist will not slip through the cracks? >> congressman, i am very focused on knowing as much as we can about individuals who are undocumented in this country. if an earned path to citizenship were to become law, that would encourage people to come forward and submit to a background check. >> do we honestly believe that any would-be terrorist or criminal or drug dealer is going to come forward to have a criminal back ground check done on him? >> reporter: some members were concerned that hard lesson e s learned are being minimized. >> the white house ziterred without taking action and the president played down the danger. >> reporter: despite this summer's wave of illegal border crossings, 70% to 890% are apprehended. but he was confronted with dh s's own facts. >> we have been -- 143 countries, according to to the internal statistics, 13 were from syria, six were from iraq, four were from iran. >> but the porous border is only one access route. >> our airports because so many of them come from countries that grant them vote visas to our nation. given the sheer magnitude of world traveling, there's thousands of ways to get from the united states to syria. and there's tens of thousands of americans who travel for legitimate purposes every single day. >> reporter: that doesn't include the growing homegrown event. yesterday polluters inditd a terrorist that was providing support to isis. >> reporter: the committee heard today that despite the growth, it is al qaeda that remains the biggest terrorist threat, and their fight for supremacy may be driving up membership in both organizations as they vie for global support. now to a terror attack that has already happened. the select committee on benghazi held its first public session today and it could easily be characterized as the bipartisan calm before what is expected to be a highly partisan storm. chief congressional sporpt mike manuel was there. >> former secretary of state hillary clinton was at the benghazi select committee's first open hearing, but she was introduced into the discussion and a witness wouldn't answer. >> the secretary of state should personally review the security situation of diplomatic facilities closing those who are highly vulnerable and threatened. why do you think the 1999 arb went out of its way to use the word personally? >> no comment, sir. >> reporter: today's hearing focused on a democrat member's idea looking at the latest state department accountability review board recommendations after benghazi and implementation. >> maybe, just maybe we can be what those four brave men were, neither republican nor democrat. >> reporter: the panel's top democrat said it's too late to bring back the americans killed at benghazi, but there's an opportunity to make a difference now. >> the things that we do today and over the next few months will have lasting affects even when we're gone on to heaven. and that's how we have to look at this. >> reporter: lawmakers heard from security officials who reviewed state department policy with one raising this red flag that there continues to be a prebenghazi approach to diplomatic security. >> clear the smoke, remove the mirrors, now is the time for the department of state to finally institutionalize some real, meaningful and progressive change. >> reporter: there was also an attack on the arb report itself. and ohio republican congressman jim jordan said those everybodying in libya should have been a high priority due to the danger there. >> if you had been in benghazi, would you have been lobbying for more security help in benghazi? >> i would be frequently frustrated -- >> you get the request from these guys on the ground for more help, would you have fought to make that request happen ". >> i would have put a significant -- >> feature more fireworks when the panel looks into explosive allegations made by robert maxwell that aides to then secretary clinton scrubbed benghazi documents that made top officials look bad. >> mr. maxwell's allegations will certainly be a part of what we're doing. i'm confident that mr. maxwell will come before the hearing. up next, vice president biden on hillary clinton's heels and the key presidential state of iowa hey. first here's some of what our fox affiliates across the country are covering tonight. a skunk wearing a beer can. police in oxford say the skunk was spotted near a fraternity house. an animal control officer was able to remove the can from the skunk without getting sprayed. yes, they're covering that. fox affiliates all over the country are running this video of a 3-year-old boy breaking military protocol to ski his mom. she had been deployed to afghanistan for the last nine months along with nearly 100 of her fellow national guard members. here's a live look at phoenix, the big story there tonight, more rain for arizona. the remnants of tropical storm odeal are moving across the state. phoenix will get soaked, we're told. tucson is expected to get up to fi five inches of rain. that's a live look at outside the belt way. our special report will be right back. really?

congratulated the nuns for supporting the administration's priorities. >> the nuns on the bus fought like the devil for health care. >> reporter: the white house called biden's campaign style event an official visit and comes just days after hillary clinton made her first visit to the iowa caucus state. biden has not ruled out a run, notwithstanding clinton ooels -- >> if we pass the immigration bill, the gross existic product will increase, we will make social security more solvent, not les, we reduce our budget deficit by well over a trillion dollars over a period of time. >> he took a much tougher and populous line than clinton. >> why has corporate productivity gone up eight times? it's a good thing it's gone up, but eight times faster than your salary over the last 35 years. >> reporter: as the vice president was courting liberal catholic nuns he referred to big banks who fake advantage of servicemen and women as shylocks. >> what's happening at home in terms of foreclosures, in terms of bad loans, these shylocks that took advantage of these women and men overseas. >> reporter: the head of the nc president should have been more careful and that prompted the vice president to issue a statement saying he should have been more careful with what he said. whether it's courting the jews or the nonpartisan -- joe biten is back on the 2014 and perhaps the 2016 campaign trail. >> carl cameron of des moines. the republican quest to gain six seats in the u.s. senate and take control of that chamber appears to be picking up steam in some places tonight. but in one red state, a surprising turn according to the latest fox news battleground poll showing republican joanie earnst tied. this is for the seat of retiring democratic senator tom harkin. in kansas, republican pat roberts could be in trouble, he has only a small lead over greg orman. the democrat has dropped out, taylor, but he may still be on the ballot. head to ahead, ormond actually trails.

walker this fall. mike tobin reports from milwaukee tonight on their chances of doing it. scott walker boasts unemployment decreased by nearly 40% on his watch. he won all his battles but this next one won't come easily. >> there's 40% who vote for the definitely. they don't care what's on the ballot, they'll vote against scott walker. >> has the governor challenged with challenger mary burke at 46%. undecided is a razor thin 5%. he benefitted from an anti-recall vote that's not necessarily pro walker. >> obviously some of that margin of victory two years ago was reflective of people who just voted against the recall on principal. not necessarily for or against a candidate. >> reporter: the unions have sworn this election will be a vendetta for walker's union bussing act 10. that was largely cemented by the recall vote and isn't much of an issue this time around. burke, a relative newcomer from the trek bicycle family pounced on walker's shortcoming on his promise to create 2 50,000 jobs. walker counters that he created 100 thooirks. >> coming out of the biggest recession since the great depression, everybody created jobs, but the reality is wisconsin is lagging behind. >> reporter: the campaigns are both very careful not to offend the small undecided ranks, so the vice president greeted president obama over the weekend, the democrat dodged the photo-op. and in a state marked by bitter partisanship, the campaigns are surprisingly polite. >> the tactics that usually works wasn't working. >> reporter: the difference may come out of a court of -- dissolved the injunction between wisconsin's voter id law. there's only a handful of voter who is won't get id'd before election day. both sides are locked in and even a handful can tip the scales. >> in milwaukee,

last-minute details from edinburgh tonight. >> reporter: the scottish national party promises a better economy and health care in an independent scotland. but ultimately much of what's driving decisions here is pure emotion. >> i think it's better if we all pull together. >> we should definitely take over because we don't get many opportunities. >> freedom. >> reporter: but with that freedom comes the great unknown. take oil, the reserves satisfies half the country's energy needs right now. alex salmon has pledged scott land would be better off if it didn't have to share it's oil

that sit two inches or more below the waistline exposing underwear or one's back site while on any city property. the naacp took issue with the city -- the curtain has come down early on a musical your tax dollars paid for about climate change. the great immensity was founded by the national science foundation to education the audience about the earth's bioatmosphebi biosphere. the show closed abruptly after reaching it's first stop reaching just 5% of its anticipated audience. critics and lawmakers alike were not impressed. the musical mystery tour is an uneasy mix of fax and credit duality stretching fiction, it's neither flora nor fawna. the nsf used taxpayer dollars to underwrite political advocacy dressed up as a musical. and speaking of music, a little throw back. thanks to

expenses pile up for american action elsewhere in the middle east and in africa a national security important jennifer griffin looks at the numbers tonight. >> as the pentagon tries to figure out how it's going to pay for the new armed conflict in iraq and combat the ebola virus in west africa, the afghan government claims it is broke, asking the u.s. for an immediate $537 million bailout. without it the government in kabul says it won't be able to pay its employees. >> we have spent too much money too fast and have built an in a infrastructure that the afghans cannot afford. >> by the end of this year, we will have spent more money in afghanistan over $104 billion than we did for the entire marshall plan for europe. just this year alone, our reconstruction budget there will be greater than the next four countries combined. and that's israel, egypt, iraq and pakistan. >> reporter: the afghans blame their current financial wores on the stalemate of presidential results. secretary of state john kerry was in kabul recently trying to arrange a unity government, but neither candidate is willing to step aside. after a trip to afghanistan in may, president obama said the nation's foreign policy needed to shift away from the afghan and iraq wars. >> when i took office, we had nearly 180,000 troops in harm's way. by the end of this year, we will have less than 10,000. i think americans have learned that it's harder to end than it is to begin them. >> the warning from the u.s. inspector general comes as the taliban is increasing pressure around kabul, killing two americans, major michael donahue and steven bias outside the u.s. embassy in a suicide bombing tuesday. without a new -- all u.s. troops will need to pull out by the end of the year, a situation reminiscent of iraq three years ago. >> jennifer, thank you. tonight we hear from the parents of a new jersey teenager who was gunned down and what the confessed shooter says was a revenge killing for the u.s. role in the middle east. police say brendan tevlin was killed while his car sat at a stoplight in june. his parents tell greta van sustren it was a premeditated murder. >> do i think he was there to kill somebody? yes, without a doubt. he definitely that night was looking to kill somebody. he changed his clothes, put fatigues on. he was there to do what he did and what he accomplished. >> you can see the full interview with brendan tevlin's parents tonight on the record 7:00 eastern. president obama again promises not to send u.s. combat troops to iraq and syria, while the experts say he'll have to eventually. we'll talk about the mixed messages s on isis when the p joins me after the break. who's going to do it? who's going to make it happen? discover a new energy source. turn ocean waves into power. design cars that capture their emissions. build bridges that fix themselves. get more clean water to everyone. who's going to take the leap? who's going to write the code? who's going to do it? engineers. that's who. that's what i want to do. be an engineer. join the scientists and engineers of exxonmobil in inspiring america's future engineers. energy lives here. >> the american forces that have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. i will not commit you and the rest of our amprmed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. >> they are not going to be successful against isis trickily from the air or strictly depending on the iraqi forces or the peshmerga or the sunni tribes acting on their own, so there will be boots on the ground if there is to be any hope of success and the strategy. and i think that by continuing to repeat that, the president in effect traps himself. >> former defense secretary robert gates talking about boots on the ground in this fight against isis. you also have the army chief of staff weighing in, genere odierno. saying this, you've got to have ground troops that are capable of going in and rooting them out, referring to isis. the air strikes will not be the be all and end all in iraq. and the jihadists cannot be allowed to have a safe haven in syria. those forces may not be u.s. forces but they have to be somebody on the ground. let's bring in our panel, steve hayes, julie pace, white house correspondent for the associated press and syndicated columnist. >> the white house seems to have this issue with messaging. general dempsey said there might be a time when forward deployed forces are called to work with iraqi forces and called in laser guided strikes. that's combat. >> yeah, i mean in some ways this is an issue of semantics, but what we really have to talk about is what the mission is. boots on the ground is almost a meaning less metric at this point. >> it's an offensive to some military. >> it is, but we have people on the ground, there have been about 1,600 americans who have been sent to iraq since the beginning of this summer. the question is are they going to be involved in combat. not necessarily is that going to be their mission when they're sent over there, but by being in some cases embedded with iraqi military units in forward positions, will they be drawn into combat? that is a big question and i think a lot of americans remain uncomfortable with that situation. >> what are the expectations if they get fired upon? and if they're next to some iraqi or kurdish fighter or a sere yang fighter and they are calling in strikes, guess what? that is combat. >> and there's no question if they're fired upon they will fire backs. it is a semantic debate but it's an important one for the people who are on the ground engaged in combat. but take a step back and think about what message this sends to isis. the president gives a speech, a nationally televised prime time speech in which he announces a nonwar war, and then he spends a week nationally and internationally what they're going to do. the president and his team can't decide what to call it a war or not, they can't decide what there will be boots on the ground or not, they can't agree on whether there will be later ground forces or not. this is exactly the wrong way to begin a concerted campaign, a determined effort to root out an enemy that the president of the united states has identified as a critical threat. in effect, what he's saying s isis and related groups are a threat to our core interests. we're going to get some other people to fight them. >> speaking of the people, secretary kerry was on capitol hill, some interesting exchanges including one with senator manag mccain on the free syrian army. >> i don't believe it's going to be ultimately a wait and see because i don't believe that number one that the people supporting the opposition in various parts of the region are ever going to stop until thes a sat problem is resolved and number two, i don't believe isil -- u don't believe the modern opposition will modestly stop. so there will be these two prongs, there's no way to avoid that. >> i hope there will be two prongs and not isis first. >> if we don't stop isil first, there may not be much left of the other prong. >> that means we can't take on two adversaries at once, that's bogus and false. >> a wink at the end there, charles? >> i think they're both right in the sense, you don't want to have an all-out war on syria today, you have to do one at a time, the first supposedly will be isis. the syrian government is using the interval between now and u.s. attacks on syria, they're using the free syrian army, and assad's strategy all along has been to attack the good guys, the free syrian army guy and have this quiet understanding with isis, i leave you alone, you leave me alone. and the one area where the good guys are getting squeezed is aleppo, which is essentially the largest city in syria and their last holdout. isis has the suburbs in the north, assad has the suburbs in the south, and if you relieve the pressure on east effort of the two bad guy's party, that means they can hit the free syrian army. >> and as senator hagel said, as this is happening, the free syrian army is engaged in u.s. forces, the isil forces will attack the assad forces, we have a situation which is three dimensional chess. >> hagel did not look as if he had prepared his answer to that. it looked entirely off the cuff and made up. i have no idea what it's real policy, but he seemed to say we will come in in support of the free syrian army. it was a proposal for the syria crisis group which is the good guy monitors who have been reporting on syria. that would save them at least in the short run from isis and from the assad government. >> julia, on the threat from isis here, a couple of tweets, kenny k., absent real leadership in the who is and in congress on both sides of the aisle, terrorists see america as weak, i have great faith that our military and our intelligence folks will stop it's cities from attacking our homeland. on the other side of the capitol hill, there was this hearing about that threat. is the white house, is the administration, do you think taking this threat here seriously? >> well, i think they're taking it seriously in the sense that it has gotten the united states involved in a military conflict that president barack obama has been trying to avoid for several years. right now intelligence shows that there is no direct threat to the homeland, but there is a big concern about foreign fighters, americans, europeans who have passports for these countries are and fighting in syria, getting radicalized and could come home to their home countries, you're going to see a lot of attention focused on that when the president goes to the u.n. and meets with other foreign leaders. >> there was concerns about the southern border, concerns about people who are contributing and just saying they're going to get involved in isis here in the u.s.? >> right. i mean there's a lot we don't know about isis and it's intentions. it's capabilities here in the united states. but i don't buy the argument that the administration intelligence, some intelligence folks, not all, but some intelligence folks are making that there's no direct threats to the homeland. if you would ask the director of the cia on september 10, 2001, do you know of a direct threat to the homeland, he would have said no. when you have the leader of isis telling you that he's going to come attack in new york, when you have consistent threats from isis and related groups saying that they're going to attack america here, you ought to pay attention to those. >> next up, will scotland bolt from the uk? on my journey acro, i've learned that when you ask someone in texas if they want "big" savings on car insurance, it's a bit like asking if they want a big hat... ...'scuse me... ...or a big steak... ...or big hair... i think we have our answer. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing down

for business. they are leading us into a trap. have confidence and say to our friends, for reasons of solidarity, sharing, justice, pride in scotland, the only answer for scotland's sake and for scotland's future is vote no. >> i say -- last minute promises from westminster and from a former prime minister no power seems like a panic attack. >> interesting this week one of the biggest stories really. this independence vote for scotland tomorrow. president obama weighing in today. saying in a tweet the u.k. is an extraordinary partner for america and a force for good in an unstable world. i hope it remains strong robust and united. >> the latest polls it's really close. within the margin of error. and pollsters there are saying they really don't know if they have a sense of this because of all the nationalistic fervour in scotland about this vote. we're back with the panel. charles? >> i'm not sure it really helps u.k. unity to have a message from the president of the united states. subtle one from the queen and now you have just informed me from mel gibson about this issue. i lived through something like this in quebec, which had the same instinct to suck seek from canada referendum last month. they stayed in canada by a whisker. less than half of 1%. i think what's really happened here. had you a poll last week showing succession, winning. and now you have the latest poll showing a real tightening. i think in these situations there is often the desire to go independent. and then at the last second when you think about all the implications, and they are huge for scotland economically, it receives a lot from westminster, a lot more than it gives back, it's isolationist economy and diplomacy. i think there would be a counter reaction to stay within u.k. my guess would be that it will be really close but like quebec they might at the end flinch. >> julia, it's interesting to think about the politics and the dynamics there. scotland is much more liberal than great britain is. and when you look at that, they don't want any of the nuclear weapons located on scotland. they don't like a the love the national defense decisions being made. >> what's interesting is to hear david cammeron talking to the scotts the last week or so as these polls have come out. his message has been you may not like me but you won't have me forever. if you take this vote you will be separating forever from britain. it's almost interesting to hear a politician say i know i'm not so popular here but let's not separated completely. i think in his comments and comments from other officials you are suddenly seeing a little more concern about these concerns people in scotland have that feel like they have been ignored for years. even if there is a no vote there is going to have to be something done to address the concerns. we will see the independent movements come up. >> great things can grow out of principles move away from the british empire. i don't think that's what's going to happen here. what's interesting about charles, charles is right. you can easily see it going this way where the problem with the people pushing independence is because it became such a big issue. sort of underground issue obviously here but in particular over there then a series of polls that showed it close. wait a second. on the other hand, "new york times" reported today that the yes offices were buzzing with people and volunteers and pushing leaflets and talking to people and the no offices were basically empty for the last 48 hours. >> the pollsters are saying we might not have this right. >> what about for the u.s.? because obviously we are always concerned about what it means for us. >> it's not going to be the end of the world. it's not going to be half the end of the world. u.k. is our best ally. stronger it is, larger it is, remember, the nuclear deterrent is in scotland. the scotts have said it's got to go. that's got to be a a huge headache. the stakes were lower than they were in 1776. the reason is that we have so much internationalism. scotland will remain in the eu, you know. so much of the independence of states has been given over to the eu in brussels. that it's really are you going to have a flag and a seat at the u.n.? there is not that much hanging on it in the end. but, prosecute from the united states progressive, why would we want to cooperate. in the same way we didn't want quebec to separate. you want them to remain song. >> we can get some haggats on this yes or no. >> i go with a squeaker no. >> no. >> i think they do it. >> that is it for the panel. stay tuned on an update on the story we brought you last week in the grapevine. an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't

government, something exciting is happening with trump in office, the trump administration is focusing on urban communities and initiative so we have two things happening that are very exciting,

days away and voter motivation is surging. despite candidates, what else is on the candidate getting people to the polls? here to break down the top initiatives nationwide is kristin tate, contributor for the hill and daughter of how the why tax thee? a lot to talk about. let's start in oregon and on the ballot is repealing oregon sanctuary state policies and breakdown what this means, measure 105 on the ballot. it has been a thing to worry state and 1987. law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities. what do you think? >> 28 of oregon's counties voted in favor of trump in 2016 and the president's popularity has surged. it is under these circumstances that oregon voters will decide whether to repeal the state's sanctuary law which protect illegal immigrants from deportation. currently there is an estimated 146,000 undocumented immigrants at a cost of $1.2 billion to taxpayers each year. supporters of the repeal point to violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants. there was one case that went to national news coverage last year when an illegal immigrant who had been previously deported 13 times from the county prison where he went on several days later to brutally assault two women in portland and opponents of the repeal say it would deter immigrants from coming forward with information on crime. this is a contentious issue in the state of oregon and it will be a close call. jillian: we are talking about restoring voting rights for felons in florida. 1.15 million florida felons, it could be restored. this would not be apply to murderers or sex offenders but a lot of people have opinions on this one. >> this would need 60% of votes to pass. polling shows 70% of floridians support this. people assume the democrats would benefit from these 1.4 million new voters who would enter the florida voting pool before 2020 but there's no proof of that. it is yet to be seen which political party would benefit most. what is sure is the addition of 1.4 million votes in florida could sway elections in future races to come for generations. jillian: a lot of them. let's talk about legalizing marijuana. in michigan at north dakota, it would legalize recreational marijuana used for residents 21 years of age. when you talk about missouri, utah for medicinal purposes, what happens in these states? >> ballot initiatives in north dakota facing an uphill battle but the initiatives in michigan and utah are likely to pass. these initiatives are in line with public opinion on this issue, 60% of americans support legalization of marijuana a figure that increases every year. opponents argue the legalization of marijuana will lead to chaos and increased crime but that is not what we have seen in states that have done this. in colorado there has been no uptick in fatal traffic accidents. in washington state crime actually decreased after legalization. we are seeing other states including some that are traditionally conservative to move in that direction as well. jillian: michigan in north dakota facing an uphill battle. why do you think that is? >> it is political calculus that is specific to those states. in a state like north dakota, in a state where voters tend to be more conservative they may not be ready for something like this yet. it is very unusual that we expect to see a path in utah because there are a lot of right leaning voters in the states of folks are surprised about this initiative. jillian: thank you for your time, appreciate it. rob: 37 minutes after the hour. and ice cream protest serving up the side of

executive order. the constitutional guarantee that a child born in the united states to foreign parents has a becomes a citizen of the united states, the president suggesting it lowers many illegals here for the purpose of anchor babies. >> you can do it with an act of congress but they are saying i can do it with an executive order. how ridiculous, we are the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby and the baby is essentially a citizen of the united states with all those benefits. it is ridiculous, it is ridiculous and it has to end. >> reporter: the president is meeting stiff resistance not just from democrats but many within his own party. >> you cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order. as a conservative i believe in following the plain text of the constitution and the 14th amendment is pretty clear. that would involve a very lengthy constitutional process. >> the president will not be able to take away the birthright by executive order or legislation. that birthright is there. it is the 14th amendment of the constitution. you need a lot of votes to amend the constitution and they won't be there. >> reporter: senator lindsey

have been auditions for 2020 all throughout the year, spartacus, the infinite moment, the dna test, everyone shaking their head. how to this help our candidates? it is more about themselves and the

primary states, the first caucus in iowa. you have folks like michael avenatti putting the team together. we will get the first announcement running for president shortly after the midterms because there is an advantage if you are a relative unknown. you might start hearing announcements. heather: not necessarily an advantage they are campaigning for the midterms, do they do them at a disadvantage? >> they do when you have the dna test, good narrative of the democratic party to say i'm not native american but i am native american. that is not a good narrative, no democrat wanted to be asked about that on the campaign trail, it wasn't about as a foreign. heather: some democratic leaders considering a 2020 run saying the president's announcement doing away with birthright citizenship is basically to rev up his base. do you believe that is the case? >> it is not just to rev up his base, the president cares about immigration, he wants to show he is a law and order president especially as you have thousands of people barreling toward the border and sending the national guard and military personnel and birthright citizenship. >> let's listen to harry reid in 1993 who seemed to agree with the president about this. >> if making it easy to be an illegal alien is enough how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant? no sane country would do that? guess again. >> that was then but this is now. he reversed his opinion on that and apologized for it but at one point he agreed with what the president is saying. >> sounds quite familiar. we have heard similar statements from chuck schumer, hillary clinton who used to have a hard-line position on immigration and under pressure from the far left they caved and came around and said let's go with open borders, really hypocritical. >> then you have even republicans like paul ryan coming out yesterday and throwing water on what the president had to say talking about the 14th amendment, the

and the state wherein today. you study constitutional law so you can tell us what is the discrepancy and what is up for debate. >> folks who say this guarantees birthright citizenship meaning if you happen to be in the united states and have a child your child is a citizen, folks who say that ignore the fact that it doesn't say just if you are born here but subject to the jurisdiction thereof meaning say you have a right to get a drivers license, your subject to the laws of the united states, a permanent resident of the united states. that is why you see so much conflict between paul ryan,

confirmed, total of 72 cases nationwide. the cdc accused of dragging its feet as families beg for answers. what can be done? joining us to discuss is doctor nicole safire. this is so disturbing, 10 new cases. >> reporter: that brings us to 72 for the year, 400 in the last several years. there has been an uptick. the problem is questions are not being answered and people are asking to criticize the cdc and their response to this. having a polio like illness, they have a viral or bacterial illness and becoming paralyzed, some dying from it, some recovering and some having what appears to be permanent paralysis in the cdc is not made it so people report these cases. if you don't report these cases how do we find out the cause? it is not up to the cdc to mandate reporting but there is a counselor recommended people don't have to report this but the cdc could be giving more information to hospitals, physicians, to recognize not only the symptoms but the best treatment options. heather: we don't know if cases that are increasing more in certain areas because we don't know if we are getting direct reports. >> right now it seems like it has to do with the normal g.i. bug that

>> hard to know. a lot of young people -- this video at campus reform about the caravan. heather: i once to ask about that. when you are talking with the students, what do you find to be the number one issue driving them to the polls this particular midterm? >> right now the most common thing is donald trump. that is enough to get them to vote. brought up immigration. on the left, this environment where you are either pro legal immigration or the no phobic. no middle ground where you can have a reasonable discussion about i'm pro-immigration and i support border security and rule of law and push the conversation so far to the extreme there is not room for people to have disagreements. that is a problem where it is so extreme a lot of reasonable people say surely i can support they don't have to be mutually -- the enough oh or support legal immigration. heather: that is a growing issue and a dangerous issue. lack of middle ground with a host of issues, not just immigration. appreciate it, have you back, busy time. the time now is 5 minutes until the top of the hour and it is halloween. wait until you see the scary prank a college student just pooled off, spooky addition of the good, the bad and the ugly next. ♪ what the heck is that?! whoa! what truck brand comes from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road?

brian brian do you want me to mention their names. roll the five people that don't vote because you will have no excuse. i'm encouraged. best news about all of this. the best thing democrats and republicans can agree to this is supposed to be the best midterm turnout since 1914 if early voting is any indication. ainsley: so close. people on both sides realize how important it is to go out there and vote for your voices to be heard. steve: people are energized. if you don't vote, you can't complain. ainsley: the president is going to be in florida for a rally today. yesterday he and the first lady went to pittsburgh to remember those victims, those 11 individuals. it was the bloodiest anti-semitic attack in u.s. history and they went to pay their respects. steve: outside the tree of life synagogue where 11 people were murdered. one by one the president and first lady made their way down that line of 11 wooden stars of david. the president placed a stone. the first lady placed a white rose. ainsley: jewish tradition. steve: the president at one point did meet the widow of one of the 11 people killed richard god freed. sarah huckabee sanders said on air force one the woman wanted to meet the president to let him know that the people wanted him there. brian: there were protests that said he came too soon. brine brian the rabbi sadly got some blow back and hate emails because he did welcome the president, which is mind boggling. steve: there are the victims right there. the president spent an hour and 20 minutes inside the hospital. he spoke with one of the officers who was recovering. he also visited with the victim in a patient's room. the hospital chief medical officer said, quote: the president kept a solemn tone and was gracious. the beauty of it was there was nothing political, nothing profound. he was interested in hearing the patient's stories and meeting the doctors and the caregivers. brian: meanwhile the president of the united states is going to be extremely busy. you know his schedule. you know how much he wants to have the party hold the house and the senate. the senate seems more likely. the house very much up in the air. the president made it be clear that he thinks that one of the things that he would like to do and focus on is immigration reform. not only focusing on the caravan and the thousands that are coming here that we put a reporter with. also kind of surprising when he sat down with axios and a show that's going to air on sunday. he talked about birthright citizenship. why is it that if you are born here. if you are a child of illegal immigrants and that child born here, i don't think it's right that they automatically get citizenship. i think it's time to have this constitutional debate. ainsley: he said i'm fine with people doing it the right way. but it's not fair to people who havoc o have been on the lit and doing it the right way. these babies born here and live here 85 years and enjoin the benefits while the parents were doing till legally. listen to part of that interview. >> we're the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby and the baby is essentially a citizen of the united states for 85 years with all of those benefits. it's ridiculous. it's ridiculous. and it has to end. steve: well, after he said that, and we reported that in the 6:00 hour yesterday, a number of legal scholars have dismissed the idea say it is unconstitutional. if the president were to try to enact it with some sort of executive order, undoubtedly it would be immediately challenged and then would certainly go all the way up to the top of the supreme court. michael anton, who worked with the administration for a while says it all comes down to a few words and how those words are interpreted. watch this. >> they base that belief on a misreading of the very first sentence of the 14th amendment which says all persons born or naturalized in the united states are citizens. you read the debates over the amendment. they said it means that you don't uh-oh allegiance to any foreign power, you are subject to the complete jurisdiction of the united states. which means you are not a citizen of another country it clearly doesn't apply to people who aren't citizens or who were born to people who aren't citizens who are subject to the jurisdiction of another country. the constitution is clear on that point. there is no statute that says otherwise. brian: jonathan turley said something very similar. this is a debate we need to have at the highest levels. is he a constitutional attorney. he does this every single day. he is looking forward to the debate. he believes the founding fathers in some way said let the next generation figure this out what's best. ainsley: 14th amendment says if you are born in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, that's what is interpreted differently depending on how talk to. steve: what does that mean? ainsley: anton goes in to explain what they are saying in those few words you are the child of citizens or the child of legal immigrants then you are entitled to citizenship. he says the president can do this. that the 14th amendment says your parents have to be citizens. steve: do you know who says you can't do that? paul ryan, speaker of the houses that's not going to work. obviously, if you wanted it work, you would have to change the law. >> steve: lindsey graham came out yesterday and said i'm behind a plan changing the law. ainsley: he said that a long time ago, too. brian: and he will introduce legislation. ending birthright citizenship and put it throughout and let people weigh in. maybe this won't cut on party lines. steve: let's see. tom homan who used to be the acting lies director thinks the president's plan would be great. >> entices people to come to this country. encourages people to come to this country. i have been doing this job a long time. they have hide out long enough the democrats talk about abolishing ice and talk about sanctuary cities and all these issues that entice people that come to this country. we have got to stand by the rule of law. that's what the president is doing and i salute him for doing it. brian: look at the numbers and who this effects, we went back to 2014. they there were 2075 babies born to unauthorized immigrants, people here illegally for whatever reason. 7% of the 4 million. how many years are we going to do this before we have to make a ruling on this on birthright citizenship because it dates back hundreds of years. but, as usual, when the president proposes something that's different and might be unorthodox, i think is worthy of a debate, people marginalize him right away. listen. >> what used to be five years ago, 10 years ago, dog whistles to appeal to the fear of white voters now are just stated openly. this is the hard line, immigration message. the fear of immigrants changing the way of life of americans. >> really hearkens back to some of the darkest chapters in america's history when in 1857 the dred scott decision. >> we are questions about national identity. it's not that far to get from that to issues of racism. steve: certainly it's a debate about immigration in this country. however, back in 1993, then senator harry reid of the great state of nevada introduced the -- to the senate judiciary committee the immigration stabilization act. and do you know what? it sounds a lot like what the president has suggested. here is harry back in '93. >> if making it easy to be an illegal alien isn't enough, how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant? no sane country would do that, right? guess again. if you break our laws by entering this country without permission to give birth to a child, we reward that child with u.s. citizenship and guarantee a full access to all public and social services this society provides. and that's a lot of services. is it any wonder that two thirds of the babies born at taxpayer expense country county run hospital in los angeles are born to illegal alien mothers. brian: i don't know, can you hear the dog whistle? i don't hear the dog whistle. do you? steve: that was in 1993. six years later when he was out doing a interview with las vegas, nevada he apologized and said he changed his mind. ainsley: his legislation ended up dying in subcommittee. here we are discussin discussin. lindsey graham called to verify the 14th amendment. president saying use executive order. some saying no it takes an act of congress. we will continue to talk about this. brian: it's worthy of debate. you don't have to call someone a racist or horrible person or ignorant. it's worthy of debate. that's what it shows in 1993, harry reid feels one way. he is not a horrible person. 199 he feels a dinner way he is not a horrible person. president trump brings this up like he did on the stump. he's not a horrible personal. way to debate on immigration reform. ainsley: tough issue for. we all are compassionate. have to do the right way. see how america thinks next tuesday do you support the president? steve: the president has made it about immigration. not that many months ago the president was apparently talking to chuck schumer and chuck schumer said listen, i will give you the money for the wall but have you got to let the dreamers stay. apghtsd the president made a political calculation, i think i can get more. ainsley: healthcare was the top of the list for everyone a few weeks ago. then the caravan started coming up. yesterday we were out on fox square. most of the people we talked, to i think maybe 100 percent said immigration was the number one issue. steve: to democrats it's healthcare and that's why they made it a corner stone. brian: so strange that democrats don't talk about immigration at all. they are not even engaging in it. ainsley: they were told not to. steve: it's 6:11 on this halloween morning and jillian joins us with the news. jillian: good morning. we start with a fox news alert now. the brand new passenger plane that plunged into the sea minutes after takeoff may have just been found. indonesian military officials detecting pings from the crashed boeing black box. they are hoping the recorder will help them figure out what went wrong. all 189 passengers are presumed dead. the family of james whitey bulger's family reacting after the notorious mobster is killed in prison. >> i was overwhelmed with joy. i was very pleased to hear that he was dead. of course i hope he suffered. my family has been suffering for over 36 years. >> i just wanted to get a bottle of champagne and pop that cork. you die the way you live. he was killing people. he was killed. >> michael donahue's family speaking out after bulger shot him to death. the 89-year-old was responsible for at least 11 murders. he had just been transferred to a new high security prison in west virginia where he was reportedly attacked by inmates with ties to the mafia. indiana democratic senator joe donnelly and republican challenger mike braun go head to head in final debate. candidates clashing over healthcare. >> mike braun supports a lawsuit today, today that would take away pre-existing conditions coverage. >> i took on the health insurance companies 10 years ago and regardless of what his democratic talking points are, i would never be for any replacement that doesn't cover pre-existing conditions. jillian: latest real clear politics average polls show the tight race as a toss-up. and check this out; installing a vending machine. get this, it swaps out bad halloween candy stuff you don't want for peanut butter cups. the company creating a converter found 90% of americans traded unwanted halloween candy. the vending machine is only available tonight for trick-or-treaters in new york. but i feel like that's something that should be everywhere all the time. steve: when you get a reese's or snicker's for me those are the best. jillian: mickey way, kit kat. steve: not a mill can i way mil. ainsley: resistance everywhere. even in your ice cream. brian: finally. benjamin franklin captured lightning in a bottle. over 260 years later as the nation's leader in energy storage we're ensuring americans have the energy they need, whenever they need it nextera energy. there lots of people who are confused about which medicare plan is right for them. hey, that's me. i barely know where to start. well, start here with me, karen. i'm a licensed humana sales agent. well, it's nice to meet you, karen. i'm john smith. hi, john. at humana, we know you're unique. so you have different needs from other john smiths. yah, i've always thought so. and together, we can find a plan that's right for you. great! i go to the doctor a couple of times a year. and i have some prescriptions. but i'm never fully sure of what's covered and what's not. with humana's all-in-one medicare advantage plans, you get coverage for hospital stays, doctor visits, and part d prescription drug benefits. all for an affordable, and sometimes, no monthly plan premium. do you have any more information?

>> first of all, we have to element remember the purpose of the amendment. the amendment was put forth because many states were trying to deny free slaves the full rights and powers of citizenship. the sentence was designed to guarantee those americans recognized at full citizens. that clause is what has caused the confusion since the minute this was ratified there has been debate about unlimited birthright citizenship. some of the dreaforts o draftere 1st amendment did not believe this language was unlimited birth right protections or guarantees. some of them actually put in legislation limiting birthright citizenship to children of citizens or legal residents. so, there has been a long standing debate. brian: yeah, you can have a good faith argument on both sides and still be a good person. not a dog whistle argument for anything else because people are now not using it for the original intention. many cases they are using it as a strategy to become citizens. come here, have a kid, make that kid an american citizen, just for that reason that's not the reason this amendment was written. >> i don't understand all the hyperbole and anger about this. this has been a long standing debate. there is good faith arguments on both sides. the natural reading of this amendment would seem to support unlimited birthright citizenship. the history, some of the drafters tend to go the other way. courts view clauses like this as having meaning. they don't just dispense them. the question is why was this clause put in? what was it referencing? and you can make -- can you certainly make a good faith argument that it limits birthright citizenship. the united states is something of an outlier. only about 30 countries that recognize unlimited birthright citizenship that doesn't mean you can use an executive order. i testified against president obama using executive orders. and i think it was wrong then. i think it's wrong now. but i think lindsey graham's proposal for legislation could have a stronger case to make in court. brian: it's interesting. is he a jag officer. is he not just throwing it out there to get votes. he is not up for election. let's see them go through the process and have a high level debate on this. i would love that instead of just marginalizing people with labels. jonathan turley, thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: hundreds of thousands of people got healthcare coverage when they weren't supposed to. it all adds up to a 4 billion-dollar mistake. how does that happen?

>> it's just pure pain. i mean, like many orthodox jews, we found out about the news many hours later. and our first. ainsley: because of the sabbath. >> because of the sabbath, right, thank you. our first introduction of the news was through a very hostile political filter. and it was bewildering all you wanted to do was but being bombarded with overtly hostile political messages. it was terrible. ainsley: you were speaking to students yesterday. what was your message to them. >> speaking to group of students last night just generally about the political atmosphere not specifically about jewish students. young woman asked me a question pleading her eyes and voice our country has become so polarized do we think something this shocking might bring us together? i didn't know what to say to her. i don't see that there seems to be no humanity left in this debate, in this process. and say you disagree with this president on a number of issues, it's really impossible not to see how much he cares about israel and the jewish people. it's impossible. and in fact, that seems to be driving so much of the politicization, so many of the lies about him and calling him names and arguing that he doesn't like us. and then it flipped on itself it's so obvious that he cares about jews yesterday, when i say this almost no limits, there were so-called jewish groups, people call themselves as though they are speaking for jews, not only shouldn't he come to pittsburgh but saying those who support him, jews who support him shouldn't be welcomed in our synagogues. that's insane, that's the opposite of a reaction like this. never in history -- i can't say that i'm not aware of any time in my life that a tragedy like this would separate jews as opposed to bring us together. i think it's symbolic as our nation as a whole has become. ainsley: see the president and first lady putting white stones from the white house and white roses on each of the stars to remember the victims. jared was there as well. so was ivanka. why was it important for you as an orthodox jew to see him and his family there. >> take away the word orthodox in that unites us all. those divisions are theological divisions. nothing to do with the fact that jews are not just a faith but really a family. that's really the emotion. that's what's being lost here which is what is so terrifying to me. it can't be lost. it is very important. the presence of jewish family members that close to the president of the united states, it's obviously unprecedented. the fact that people keep on repeating it. the fact that the president has jewish children, jewish grandchildren. the fact that his grandchildren are great grandchildren of holocaust survivors. i get the terrible sense that it's ratcheting up the anti-trump rhetoric more to try to demonize him as opposed to look at the obvious. is he clearly supportive of the jewish people and israel. one of evil horrible person was apparently angry about that the president is too good to jews in israel. ainsley: jeff, thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. ainsley: still ahead, nancy pelosi is sounding pretty confident about the midterms. listen. >> let me tell you this, if the election were held today we would win. now i'm saying we will win. ainsley: what happens if they don't win, if the blue wave comes crashing down plus, young voters are expected to turn out in record numbers in just six days. so, how do they feel about the caravan?

just stated openly. >> he is now joined by donald trump in the campaign of distraction. a campaign that is providing cover for people who are now taking their political differences and going to the next extreme to create political violence. steve: will these attacks on president trump and the republicans actually resonate with the voters? here to react is the host of michael knowles show. >> good to see you. steve: what do you think. >> i think this rhetoric might resonate. the trouble for democrats i don't think it's going to resonate the way they want. to say the trouble with the rhetoric is that it's not reminding voters of why we don't like trump. it's reminding voters of why we don't like them. it's the same attacks we have heard over and over he's a racist. he is a bigot. he is a this. he is a that. what this rhetoric does is reminds us of their own failures. so barack obama goes out on the campaign trail and says that donald trump is a shameless liar. donald trump has a pretty good record on keeping his promises. barack obama not so much. it reminds us of all those awful lies of his administration. if you like your doctor, can you keep your doctor, in the wake of pittsburgh, they are now blaming president trump for violence for antisemitism in particular. president trump is probably the most pro-jewish president in american history. there is a train station named after him in jerusalem. meanwhile, democratic figures like barack obama are smiling in photographs are louis farrakhan. and then finally you have hillary clinton going out and saying things are so awful under president trump shshe may run for president again. this reminds us of why we voted for trump in the first place. you don't need to take my word for it swings state democrats like claire mccaskill are running against, quote, crazy democrats in her own party. steve: yeah, no kidding. actor james cromwell said this about president trump if we don't stop president trump now then we have a revolution for real. then there will be blood in the streets what do you think of that. >> this is their promise. they have been ramping up the violence. steve: you say the left is ramping up the violence? >> absolutely. there is violence on the fringes of both sides, sure. but in the mainstream the violence is only on the left. on the mainstream of political parties it's only being encouraged by democrats. gangs of antifa running portland, oregon, people harassing republicans in restaurants where they sleep. this does not load good to voter. mob violence and lynch mobs coming for brett kavanaugh decisive moment as well. when voters see this on television, absolutely we should talk about how all of the fringes are of both parties. but, if one is encouraging mainstream violence, i think voters are going to reject that at the ballot box. steve: michael, you are suggesting that the rhetoric, is going to back fire on them. why not backfire on the right. >> it's going to backfire on them because they have gone too far. the trouble with making the elections about donald trump is we have all known donald trump for 30 years. he has been a tabloid legend. everyone knows all of his flaws and also know he is not a fascist. he is not a racist. they are not a bigot. the boy who cried wolf and creates a big credibility problem for them and reminds us of all of those failures of their eight years governing the country that they were hoping we would have forgotten under the first two years of trump. back on the campaign trail and things are going pretty well right now. steve: let's see what happens tuesday. good to see you. >> you bet. steve: very busy wednesday. resistance is everywhere. even in ben and jerry's ice cream. we will explain that what is the state of the race for republicans with six days left until the midterms? we will talk with rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. she is joining us next. ♪ get ready ♪ get ready ♪ 'cause here i come ♪ ainsley: hard to believe we are less than one week away from the election. president trump pulling out all the stops. campaign rallies in this final stretch. brian: what stage is the rnc focusing on? i'm going to ask that and then you guys will ask follow-up questions to rnc chairperson ronna mcdaniel. ronna, a lot of people are looking at minnesota in particular? terms of the races that could tip the balance in the house. you brought us to minnesota's first district. right away. this is real close. first district jim hagedorn is running a tight race. former congressman tim waltz running for governor there we think that's a state we can pick up. the eighth district in minnesota. we have a great candidate pete stauber. we see good numbers coming out of that district. third in nevada third and fourth looking well. there are pickups for us on the board. obviously we have a lot of seats in play that hillary clinton won where we have republican incumbents. it's neck in neck right now. it's going to depend on turnout. steve: when you look at the national news, ronna, there has been so much about the caravan last week and then yesterday at the 11th hour the president wants to add to the debate whether or not to end this birthright citizenship for people born in this country to parents who are not americans. does that help the republican message? i think it highlights how silent the democrats have been on immigration reform we obviously have a problem in this country. the president is leading the way. he wants to work with democrats. we have this huge caravan heading towards our border. we have another one setting up to come to our border. we have to solve our immigration problems in this country. and democrats are silent again. and so i think it feeds into this results vs. resistance narrative we have seen this election. republicans are focusing on results and getting things done for the american people and the democrats are only focused on resist and obstruct. i think the voters are taking note. ainsley: what would you say the biggest problem facing the republican party is? is it women? what's your message. >> the democrats have -- on healthcare and tried to tell people that republicans are going to take pre-existing conditions. that's flat out false. president has been on the stump refuting that. sharing family members of their kids of their mothers who have pre-existing conditions. of course would never take away that right. that's one of the things the democrats are trying to do try to scare their voters. we are running on higher wages, more jobs, our economy doing well. taking on the opioid crisis. there are so many things that have come out of these first two years of president trump and republican leadership. we are saying to voters do you want to go back? we need to continue this come back. there is so much at stake. we have the number one campaign on the trail, president trump energizing our base. brian: asides that you have a very strong digital campaign. you leap frogd over what the democrats were doing. have you invested $275 million, the largest ever in a ground game. is there something that president trump did that can be beneficial the way he microtargetted in the midterms even though not technically on the ballot build off what he was able to do. >> absolutely. when we do these rallies we are collecting data on the voters to come. we do peer texts where we are texting messages. get your absentee ballot and make sure you turn out. talk to your neighbors. this digital campaign using the rnc data and what we are gaining from the president with his huge donor base of 175,000 new small online donors in 2018 alone is helping propel our voters to the ballot box. and let me just say we are seeing 2016 turnout across the country and republicans are matching the democrat energy. that's very good news. we need to sustain that through election day. steve: all about the turnout. prediction? >> i think we are going to keep our majority in the senate and potentially expand it. which is unprecedented in a presidential year that first midterm. and i think we're going to keep the house. it is neck in neck. everyone needs to turn out. talk to your friends and neighbors. go call your old college roommates. turn them out to vote for republican. brian: by the way. steve: i can't find my college roommates. >> call high school

york city, it is the 31st day of october. that's right. it is halloween. and as we heard from janice dean just about 20 minutes ago. it's going to be soggy across much of the country. as you dress up your trick-or-treaters think something water repellant. ainsley: dress them up as mary poppins because she carried an umbrella. six days until the midterms, guys. right around the corner next tuesday. steve: we have been talking about it so long, the president is going to have over the next six days 11 dinner rallies. we will talk abou -- different . the president flew to pittsburgh to pay homage to the 11 murdered at the tree of life synagogue. can you see one by one the first lady and president made their way down that line of wooden stars of david. he placed a stone on each, the first lady a white rose. brian: jared kushner and ivanka, his daughter, also joined him. obviously she converted and he is orthodox jew wanted to be there. the presiden president of the ud states paid his respects. you heard the protesters there some of the congregation thought the president came too soon. and i'm sure there is a lot of people if you wait another week would have said he waited too long president formed his way through. he went yesterday. mission accomplished. shame people went out of their way to protest. ainsley: reverend jesse myers accompanied them. the president and first lady are welcome there we welcome them with open arms. we appreciate them showing respect to these 11 individuals that were killed in the bloodiest anti-semitic attack in u.s. history. went to the hospital i at the university of pittsburgh medical center. steve: he met with the widow of one of the 11 people killed. she said, according to sarah huckabee sanders who recounted the passage up on air force one that was flying home, the bid toe wanted to meewidowwanted to meee president to let him know the people wanted him there. ainsley: beautiful tradition they bright white stones from the white house and placed them each at the star of david. each of those 11 stars. brian: the president is now when he goes back to the campaign, obviously less important than life and death, the issues we saw on saturday, has made it clear that part of his agenda, even when he was running was doing doing immigration reform. one of which bolstering the border. 800 miles to go to get to our border. the president put out troops to let them know you can't come. other caravan coming up behind you can't do that said something to axios who is doing a special on sunday on -- with the president, said i'm going to throw something when it comes to birth right citizenship. i can do it through an executive order. i am going to rid our nation of it if you read the constitution, i can do it. listen. >> only country in the world where a person comes, in has a baby and the baby is essentially a citizen of the united states for 85 years with all of those benefits. it's ridiculous. it's ridiculous. and it has to end at the 11th hour a week before the election. the president is trying to add this to the debate. he and the republicans feel that the caravan is a winning topic for them. but then when you throw this in to end something that is, you know, the legal scholars, they are largely feel what the president is suggesting is unconstitutional but we had jonathan turley on a little while ago and he said, you know what? maybe it's time for a debate on this because there are arguments that are good on both sides. >> some of the drafters of the 14th amendment indicated they did not believe that this language was unlimited birth right protection or guarantees. some of them actually put in legislation limiting birthright citizenship to children of citizens or legal residents. courts view clauses like this as having meaning. they don't just dispense them. the question was why was this clause put in? what was it referencing? you can certainly make a good faith argument that it limits birthright citizenship. >> what is he talking about in the amendment, the interpretation of the 14th amendment has been disputed since the beginning. since it was written. supreme court has never taken up this issue. and the phrase that he is looking at. he says in the 14th amendment all people born in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. what does that mean? the jurisdiction thereof? michael anton, former national security advisor for the president. he is saying in that phrase it says if you are the child of citizenships or the child of legal immigrants, then you are entitled to citizenship. so he is saying you have to be born of a spin. brian: australia changed their law 1985, 1986. why are going to stop that a lot of european nations the same. high level debate by two level headed side present their issue and maybe as a country we would not marginalize people for even bringing it up. that didn't stop the media for claiming that the president has some secret agenda listen. >> what used to be five years ago, 10 years ago dog whistles to appeal to the fears of white voters now are just stated openly. this is the hard line immigration message. the fear of immigrants changing the way of life of americans. >> hearkens back to some of the darkest chapters in america's history when this 1857 the dred scott decision. >> we were arguing questions about national identity and it's not that far to get from that to issues of racism. steve: where do we go from here? will the president sign an executive order? maybe. then again maybe it's just one of those things that happens before an election? if he did sign it, there would certainly be a court challenge immediately and it would wind up going up the court system. lindsey graham has a better idea. he would like to change the law. is he going to propose doing just that which would be easier than a constitutional amendment, which takes a gigantic amounts of support in the house and in the senate across the states. at the same time, look at whether they would get a bill through these days, good luck. ainsley: harry reid back in the early 1990s, actually proposed it to. his bill actually died, didn't even make it onto the floor. but, he later apologized said he doesn't agree with that anymore. back in the 1990s, democrats were saying the same thing. brian: i just don't understand. we had vcrs back then and chuck schumer against chain migration. you see harry reid against the lottery system. harry reid against birth right citizenship. democrats on the record saying we need a barrier and senator obama saying the same thing. meanwhile, we have to find a way to get comprehensive immigration reform. if you look at the issues. i believe 70% of the imforeign relation issues both democrats and republicans agree on michael knowles weighed in i think this rhetoric might let son nate. the trouble for democrats is not going to resonate the way they want. to say the trouble with the rhetoric, reminding voters of why we don't like trump. it's reminding voters why we don't like them. same attacks we have heard over and over. he is a racist. he is a bigot. he is a this or that. reminds us of their own failures. steve: so what he is saying is the sharp rhetoric on the -- you know, we hear it from the right and the left. but he said in the interview we just did about 20 minutes ago. he said that he thinks it's going to backfire on the left. when asked why it wouldn't backfire on the right. you heard the answer right there. ainsley: we will find out on tuesday. steve: we will indeed. star parker is the founder of urban cure and she in this sound bite explain why a number of people are supporting president trump who have not supported republicans in the past. listen. >> they have been loyal to the democratic party because blacks brought this idea of activist government. something happening trump in office. trump administration is focusing on urban communities and initiatives so we have two things happening right now that are very, very exciting. first of all the millennial does not buy this racism behind every rock narrative of the democrat party because their friends are diverse. they have grown up in a society post civil rights era. so they don't know that world at all. secondly, they are individual lists. they like uniqueness. we see that on the tattoos they wear. this whole idea of collectivism and big government doesn't work for them as well. brian: darrell scott somebody working in the administration. opportunity zones zones and tax plan. you will see a lot of focus over the next two years if these models are correct on what's happening in urban communities and leading the charges republican senator tim scott and ben carson, obviously doing the same thing. it looks like they did lose kanye west last night. i don't know if you saw. he suddenly says i'm out of politics. i don't like this new term that candace owens came up. ainsley: came up with blexit. black peter exiting the democratic party. i just helped her find a designer. i don't want to be a part of blexit. steve: so much going on in the run-up to the midterms. ainsley: do you think is he out of politics forever? brian: four or five minutes. ainsley: agree. until he is not. jillian: good morning. let's get you caught up with this fox news alert

aren't voting one of the number one reasons why millennials don't vote is because they don't know where to buy stamps, brian. they don't know where to buy stamps. because they can't mail in -- they don't know where to mail-in their ballot. i hear democrat enthusiasm high when buying a stamp is a hurdle too high to climb. steve: aren't those things already stamped? holy cow. ainsley: she said we own the ground. what does me mean by that? >> well, i think about voter enthusiasm. right? i actually think voter enthusiasm is higher among republicans. let's not forget what happened to kavanaugh. i don't think republican voters do. i don't think this caravan stuff from the south of our border helps the democrats. i think it actually helps donald trump. you just had stuart on who rightfully said the economy is humming. i think republican voters are fired up and want to keep this party going. steve: the president has felt and his team has felt that the caravan has been a winning issue for him and the republicans but then at the 11th hour he throws in this birthright citizenship thing does that help the republicans? >> i think that does, too. a law professor on an hour ago. this is not a bigot the sentiment to have. it's a very sensible. it's very historically accurate sentiment. and you again i think minnesota voters are like yeah, this birth right stuff that doesn't make a lot of sense. we do need to look into that. more winning issues for the president. especially immigration. brian: remember when the irs did the investigations on the tea party. everybody walls outraged and nobody ever paid the price for that lois learner and company. voters were marginalized and president obama was able to benefit. now you see the social media companies like facebook and google seem to be -- seem to be really pushing down on conservative groupings. that plays a huge role in this. >> oh, yeah. absolutely feel silenced. i know you guys saw what happened with marcia black burden of proof the other day and how her ads with the democratic mob trying to silence her. she was ads about it and google and facebook wouldn't lit her do that these tech companies have a lot of power. pretty much the entire internet is filtered through these big tech companies. and they don't care much for conservatives. and they are -- it's very easy to manipulate results to try to manipulate people and manipulate votes. it's very dangerous to our republic. you talk about silencing conservatives. you know who google and twitter and the rest are not silencing? twitter still has accounts and

strong showing in florida last night speaking to an overflow crowd. all that despite the fact that he is under a state ethics investigation. accused of accepting gifts and money from an fbi agent posing as a developer. mr. trump has tweeted about gillum a dem who is a thief and mayor of a poorly run city tallahassee said to be one of the most corrupt city in the country. gillum's ethics problems do not seem to be sticking at this point. he wasn't asked a single question at that rally last night about it he responded, however, to trump's tweet saying in his own tweet and i quote: as my grandmother told me, never wrestle with a pig. you both get dirty. but the pig likes it. desantis, meantime, has been hammering away at gillum's open borders policy. >> andrew has open border policies. he basically said that's what he wants. he wants florida to be a sanctuary state and have sanctuary city. when you do that obviously, there is folks who come in who we don't know who they are, it's really a wet kiss to the drug cartels because they can move this product in. >> the real clear politics average of polls has gillum up by 3 percentage points in florida. again, mr. trump

brian: thanks, jillian. we are now just six days away from the midterm elections. so much at stake for both parties and so much still up in the air. what are some of the biggest toss-up races keeping pollsters up at night and democrats, are they wasting money because they feel as though they have a shot at many, many districts? here to discuss is real clear politics senior election analyst sean trendy. sean, let's take a look at this map right now if you have a monitor. look how many districts are listed as toss-up right now? and you see how much is still up in the air come tuesday? and i ask you, if you are a democrat, you have a tough decision to make. if you are now in play in red -- in red districts, where do you throw the money? and if you spread it out too much, is it totally ineffective? >> yeah. i mean, in a sense, this is a problem that democrats love to have. but in other sense, it is a problem. if you throw a lot of money into some of these very red districts, where you don't have a great shot, but you might bring your vote share up and waste effective lay bunch of votes, you might win the national vote by a lot but you are not going to pick up these seats. so, it's potentially a problem for democrats. brian: take a look at this. look at money spent. unbelievable. think money would be spent better on something else if we could take money out of politics. 240 million spent by the dccc. 148 million on the other side. this is just for this election cycle. you've got to wonder how much higher that is than past years. >> it's been record-breaking, the amount of money that's flowing into these elections. you know, and so some of it is going to be well-spent. some of it is going to be pouring 40, $50 million into beto o'rourke's campaign in texas. where he will do well but he is probably not going to win. brian: beto o'rourke has maybe the same shot as republican does in new jersey, possible but not likely. look at the balance of power right now. 29235 to 13. do you agree with 538 who is saying there is an 85% chance the democrats take the house? >> nate is a great analyst. steve: nate silver. >> yeah, nate silver and he has a great track record. i think he is a little bit too bullish on the democrats right now. i would put the republican chances more on the 1 in 4 to 1 in 3 range. i think right now it's certainly rather be the democrats rather than the republicans. brian: in terms of momentum and trends, where are they legged? >> well they -- heading. we saw something in september with the kavanaugh hearings and even into early october that there was some momentum on the republican side. that's probably blungtsed the democrats' ability to flip some of these deep red districts. at the same time, we think we have seen it level off. now, whether it's turned the other way and gone against republicans, we don't know yet. i would say we are still kind of flat lining where republicans have improved their chances but not dramatically enough. brian: the senate seems secure for republicans? >> the senate does, yeah. senate looks a much better than it did a month and a half ago. brian: sean, always the x factor people not wanting to tell people they are supporting president trump or the republican parity because of some of the backlash we have seen. >> you know, that's something we did see to some extent in 20167: obviously the polls had a pro-democratic lean that year that could happen this year. polsters are trying to fix that with their weighting and math that i won't poor your watchers to tears with. we are hoping that they figured it out. brian: sean trendy get some sleep today you will not get it much over the next six days. >> thank you. brian: media hammering president trump and republicans ahead of the midterms. >> the president is unleashing a torrent of exaggerations. >> many republicans adopting trump's signature combative style. >> a bad nine days for the republicans. brian: just how biased is the coverage?

we have heard healthcare for democrats, immigration for republicans. >> well, i think immigration is a bigger deal than democrats realize. so, when you are talking about the caravan or just talking about the 14th amendment, democrats seem very sure in the mainstream media seems very sure that that is something that is going to work in their favor. i'm not sure that people are as open about that in polling as they really feel. i think that that's an issue they should be worried about. and obviously healthcare is an issue for democrats. i think the overall and biggest issue for them is always donald trump. steve: yeah. so, according to mrc. i'm looking at the big screen once again. democrats' coverage is 35% more positive than republicans and republican' coverage is 35% more negative. why is that? >> why is the coverage more negative? you know, because they feel comfortable campaigning for people like beto o'rourke. they talk, about for instance, voter suppression or things of that nature, which negatively reflect republicans where that doesn't even exist at all. ainsley: we will see if it works on tuesday. steve: david harsanyi. ainsley: white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders is here live next. . . cal: we saved our money and now, we get to spend it - our way. ♪ valerie: but we worry if we have enough to last. ♪ cal: ellen, our certified financial planner™ professional, helps us manage our cash flow and plan for the unexpected. valerie: her experience and training gave us the courage to go for it. it's our "confident forever plan"... cal: ...and it's all possible with a cfp® professional. find your certified financial planner™ professional at letsmakeaplan.org. we really pride ourselvesglass, on making it easy to get your windshield fixed. with safelite, you can see exactly when we'll be there. saving you time for what you love most. >> kids: whoa! >> kids vo: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪ ♪ >> we're the only country in a world, person comes in, has a babe, the baby essentially a citizen of united states, that has to end. >> caravan put out 5000 troops telling them you can't come. there are other caravans behind. you can't do that. >> president trump changed the rules of the game. that should change the equation in their head whether they should continue. >> they went to pittsburgh to remember the victims, the 11 individuals. they went to pay their respects. brian: u.s. consumer confidence is crushing expectation this is month. the highest level of consumer confidence in 18 years. >> if the economy is baseline for voters in this election i think it favors mr. trump. steve: six days before the midterm elections, people are energized. republicans have to stay fired up right through tuesday. >> republicans have to focus on getting things done for the american people and democrats are focused on resist and obstruct. and i think the voters are taking note. ♪ steve: live from new york city it is "fox & friends." thanks to you, the world's number one cable morning news show. it is 31st day, the final day of october. that means it is halloween. ainsley: halloween, get your costumes ready. steve: it is sings days before the midterms. this is something we've been talking about the midterms. as soon as the presidential was done, people started talking about the midterms. we're six days away from that. brian: president of the united states had a chance to pay respects to the victims and some of the survivors after the horrific shooting on saturday. that brought him to pittsburgh. now it is back to the midterms. and it is back to trying to do the best he can to hold on to the house, hold on to the senate. for a lot of people, republicans in particular, this will be maybe their second biggest day. their payingest day was 2016. this is another chance to show people 2016 was no fluke. ainsley: we have sarah huckabee sanders at the white house. very busy week, very next few days. he will be all over the country. he has 11 rallies yesterday into the midterms. it is crazy. >> it is crazy. the ability the president has day in, day out, not just to bring these massive crowds out but to actually deliver and with the amount of energy and stamina that he has, and that he has shown over the last month has been incredible and unprecedented. it is amazing the amount of time and energy that he has spent helping push republicans over the line and i think you're going to see that fruitful, particularly when it comes to the senate. the president has done an incredible job telling story of first to years in the administration, number of successes he has had. i think you will see that on full display next week. steve: we looked at a map the states the president will visit in the next six days. are those states where the candidate is in trouble, are those states it is so close a a visit by the president could push the republican over the finish line? >> those are states where the president is incredibly popular and has ability to carry individuals over the finish line. a great way to close, president of the united states comes in, talk about the booming economy. talk about securing the border. talk about remaking judiciary and how more republicans help get better policy in place. a great contrast between republicans and democrats. you will see him lay that out. that will be a huge difference-maker next week. brian: i'm just amazed at, when the president brings up birthright citizenship, a story jonathan swan had been following on "axios." he brings it up, it becomes a big story. to me when you talk to constitutional attorneys like jonathan turley, he says this is the debate we need to have, yet some people are interpreting this some type of xenophobic racist quest to change america. are you surprised how some are playing the presidenting the president's would be executive order? >> i'm not at all surprised, media, democrats, which sometimes can be one in the same would overplay their hand whether on this issue or anything else the president brings up. this is the party of no. this is the party of obstruction. they have no ideas. they have no policies. the reason we're in this position in the first place because democrats failed to come to the table, they failed to work with this president and pass legislation that helps protect our country. that helps protect the citizens of america because they do not want to secure our borders. they do not want to have a law and order country. the reason we're in this predictment because democrats in congress failed to do their job. the president will look at any way possible that he can find legally and constitutionally to make sure that we're doing everything we can. ainsley: will he be able to use an executive order? i know at first i thought it was act of congress, i thought i could use executive order to make sure babies born here to illegals are not citizens. what are the facts here? can he use executive order? does he have to go through congress? >> there are a number of legal scholars certainly think he can, again let's not forget why we're even here at all that is because of the failure of congress, democrats in congress to actually do their job. again the president is going to take whatever powers he has to protect our borders and to protect our country. steve: so congress has not been close on doing anything but, sarah, you remember it was a number of months back where the president and chuck schumer sounded like they came real close to a deal, where chuck said you know what, i give you money for the wall, i just want dreamers to say here in the united states. the president according to the stories we heard, you know what, i think i can get more, no. was that a mistake not to take that deal at that point? >> the president laid out -- we need more than one piece of the puzzle. the president wants to see total reform take place. we have mass live loopholes in our immigration system we have to close, or we're just going to continue kicking the can down the road. the president is not someone that keeps passing the buck here. he wants to solve the problem. that is why he was elected. he will continue to fighting to make sure he pets the job done. brian: what can you tell us about the communications between guatemala, el salvador and honduras? there is third caravan mobilizing this direction. is there talk with the leaders along with putting 5200 troops on the border? >> we're in constant communication with other countries. mexico has stepped up in an unprecedented way. we want to work with them. hopefully -- brian: how will they step up? everybody got through. how do they step up? >> they helped stop a lot of transportation means in these individuals in the caravans, forcing them walking. they have helped us in new ways to slow this down, to break this up and keep it from moving aggressively towards the united states. again they can do more but the at end of the day the president will secure the border and not let people we don't know who they are, why they are coming or what they're coming for into our country. there is a legal system. we want people to come into this country. we want them to do it in a legal way. and the process that exists. we certainly want to fix that process so that it works better. so that more people can come here legally, once they have gone through the system. but democrats refuse to help us on that. until they do, the president will do what it takes to secure our border. ainsley: the president said he will cut off aid to those countrieses that are not cooperating or stopping their citizens from working their way up to the united states. has that happened? >> the president is looking at all options at his disposal, to put influence and break up the caravans and stop these people from illegally entering our country. steve: over the last week, sarah, we had news of the guy in florida sending out bombs over to prominent democrats at cnn as well, and there was the horrible mass murder in the synagogue in pennsylvania. since then there have been a lot of people on television, elsewhere accusing the president of inflaming, raising the temperature, the political temperature by his rhetoric. i know you've been asked that question. what do you tell people who say, the president is somewhat responsible for the tone of the political dialogue in the country right now? >> look, the only people that are responsible for these heinous acts are the people who carried them out. one of the things that we saw yesterday was the strength of our country, the community that we were in, that the president visited yesterday, of pittsburgh. far more about the united states of america than the two cowards that acted so outrageously over the last week. we saw that in the rabbi. we saw that in the bravery of the law enforcement. we saw that in the strength of the community that came together. that is who america is. we won't be defined by these go cowards. we certainly won't have blame placed on any one of the other other than the individuals. steve: ask you a question about the synagogue survivors. the president went yesterday and talked with the widow of somebody who was murdered. would it be okay if you told us what she told the president? >> he did. he spent about an hour at the hospital with the video of dr. godfrey yesterday, late evening yesterday. congressman rothfus from pennsylvania was with the president as well during that time. she said that she wanted to be there in order to show him that people wanted him there. he spent a good bit of time with her and said he was very humbled and very saddened by the experience that he had yesterday an in pittsburgh. brian: when you look at number of positive republican stories, they're under 20%, democratic stories, over 50%, according to an m-rc study, president famously has 92% of the stories against, negative to him, you're the press secretary, you see it, you hear a lot about that, do you believe the networks are mobilized to stop the president and stop the republicans? >> i certainly hope not because that is not what our country is about but i think ultimately when people go to the ballot box they have a very clear decision. they can either vote for lower taxes, they can vote for secure borders, they can vote for the defeat of isis, they can vote for a president who stands for something and for a party who stands for something or they can vote for open borders, they can vote for higher taxes and vote for activist judges. there is never a clearer contrast between two different groups of people. the president will make that case. you will see him do that over the next couple of days, leading up until tuesday. i don't think there is any better messenger for republicans than this president who has had an incredible success story. we expect that to be on full display and i think it will turn out well on thursday. steve: sarah, i hope you have on tennis shoes you will be running between now and next wednesday. >> i will keep that in mind. i need that for chasing my kids for trick-or-treat tonight. ainsley: thanks, more headlines. jillian: following a number of stories starting with a fox news alert. breaking video showing a passengerrer's final moments before his plane crashed into the sea. his wife says he sent her the clip before boarding the doomed flight in indonesia. military officials now say they have detected pings from the crashed boeing jet black box in the java sea. they are hoping the flight data recorder will help them figure out what went wrong right after takeoff. all 189 passengers are presumed dead. that plane was only in service since august. the package bomb suspect had been planning his attacks for months. brand new court documents said the chilling plot started in july. the d o.j. made the discovery after finding the victims addresses on cesar sayoc's laptop. he did not enter a plea during his first court appearance on monday. an ex-mafia hitman, serving a life sentence, reportedly a suspect in beating of mobster white at this bolger. the family of victims. >> i was overjoyed. i hope he suffered. my family has been suffering 36 years. >> i want to get a bottle of champagne and pop that cork. he died the way he lived. jillian: michael donahue's family speaking out after bolger shot him to death. steve: what a story that is. brian: thank you, jillian. 13 minutes after the hour. the migrant caravan are on the move again. more troops are headed to the border. we're going live to mexico next. , get a ford. if you want waze and amazon alexa compatibility, get a ford. if you want a car that doesn't have any of that, get anything... but a ford. otherwise, you're gonna want a ford. ♪ ...that's why i've got the power of 1-2-3 medicines with trelegy. the only fda-approved 3-in-1 copd treatment. ♪ trelegy. the power of 1-2-3 ♪ trelegy 1-2-3 trelegy with trelegy and the power of 1-2-3, i'm breathing better. trelegy works 3 ways to... ...open airways,... ...keep them open... ...and reduce inflammation... ...for 24 hours of better breathing. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. trelegy is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling,.. ...problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. think your copd medicine is doing enough?

>> i wrote that on saturday right after the synagogue massacre. my reading of the national mood of course yes the left will try to blame it on the president but events are moving so quickly there are some other issues to focus on, not as though the president's supporters will peel off and suddenly decide, yes, we agree with cnn, he is a racist, he is the worst human being whoever lived. i think those events were horrible but there are some other issues, including how well the economy is doing, including the caravan, including the brett kavanaugh situation. so i think we've had a lot of issues. i don't think these two will by themselves separate and determine the outcome next week. steve: i was reading a column this morning by howie kurtz, he says the president's interview with "axios" really sparked the kind of media reaction he wanted to remind people, hey, remember the caravan. remember immigration which he feels is a winner for the republicans. >> i would agree with that. i think the caravan is front and center again. it was knocked off a little bit by those horrible events but i think it is back. i think there is still the kavanaugh overhang for a lot of republicans and conservatives. i think what unites a lot of these things is the overreach on the other side. the fact that the democrats, for example, rush to blame the president for everything. the way the character assassination attempt on kavanaugh. now here in the caravan you don't hear democrats talking at all about it. they have no plan. they have no alternative idea, other than, we don't like trump. trump sends the military. trump has a plan on birthright citizenship. democrats have no plan. they're going silent because anything they say will be used against them. steve: democratic leaders in washington thought a rallying cry, a winner for them would would be let's you talk about health care. those darn republicans, tried to get rid of the affordability care act and if you have a preexisting condition you're in trouble. >> every campaign comes down to gets define the term of the debate. what is the election about. the president put immigration back on the front burner. even his talk about birthright citizenship is poo-pooed. for a lot of people it strikes the right cord. yes, there are fundamental things we have to do to secure the borders to limit illegal immigration. it's a good political win. it may be substantive in the end. we don't know how congress will deal with it. steve: ultimately the fight is over eyeballs. as people look at images of those now three caravans heading our way, because we've got these loopholes in the law, if they do something about it, change the law, that is if somebody comes to the country, steps foot into the nation, asks for asylum, they have to wind up with due process. there are a lot of people who don't like the law. >> look. brian: michael mukasey, former tone general, and former federal judge says the constitution is not a suicide pact. so america can fix these things. we don't have to give up our country because our laws are filled with loophole or they're the wrong laws. there are ways to fix these things. the president is one of the most skilled politicians we've seen in a very long time. at changing the focus of the debate. he uses the bully pulpit to great advantage. when he goes out there, talks about immigration, and all of these rallies, talks about birthright citizenship in the interview with "axios," he is really focusing the nation's attention on a topic where he wants it to be focused. steve: that is why he has got that twitter. love it or hate it. that is why he got it. >> he uses all the aspects of his advantage. steve: michael goodwin, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. steve: straight ahead kris kobach of kansas helped draft the immigration's policy. he says the migrant caravans are the just the beginning of the left's open border policy. you will hear from him next. nancy pelosi sounding pretty confident about the democrats winning on tuesday. >> let me say this up until today i would have said if the election were held today we would win. now i'm saying, we will win. steve: pounds pretty positive there, what happens if that doesn't happen?

brian: nancy pelosi say i'm speaker of the house. i made it happen. she is pouring money into florida big time as well as mike bloomberg. as well as is tom steyer. they're trying to flood the zone. i don't see any of the polls pulling the democrats away. steve: in "axios" this morning mike allen writes he talked to a democratic operative, they said that if they have a super low turnout, democrats win. if they have a super high turnout, democrat win. but, a medium turnout, that scares them, he says. the gop owns the voters who aren't quite as intense as our voters but who often show up often voters. democrats win, they go high. number wise, win low. in the middle, republicans. ainsley: most experts say senate will remain republican. but it is the house everyone is you have wag. a lot of people retiring. some of these seats are too close to call. and no one really believes the polls anymore because remember in 2016 everyone said hillary would win. hillary didn't even campaign in some. states because she was so confident. steve: look at polls. we had a poll meeting. she did win the popular vote. ainsley: we know that she reminds us. steve: polling was based on raw number. ainsley: right, not the electoral college. brian: base i had on popular vote, deciding a football game on total yards gained. it's a different metric. maximize what you can do in california. in george bush maximize what he does in texas. go into your state to maximize, that is a whole new game, whole new set of rules. steve: it is indeed. we'll know on tuesday night, midnight, maybe. jillian joins with us news out of florida. jillian: let's get right to this. one of florida's top prosecutors says the state's "stand your ground" law is unconstitutional. miami-dade state attorney katherine fernandez run dell, wants the state supreme court to get rid of it, requires self-defense cases decided before a judge instead of a jury. barbra streisand is once again considering relocating to canada if democrats don't win control of the house in the midterms. streisand telling "the new york times," quote, i've been thinking about do i want to move to canada?
