all-time leader in career touchdown passes breaking brett favre s record. good morning, welcome to morning joe. with us onset we have professor at columbia university of school of international public affairs dorian warren. good stuff there. last night. yeah. peyton manning broke the all time career touchdown record that was held by brett favre. he did it in the first half. he needed three. he did three in the first half just for good measure. you can make the case he s the greatest of all time. we re living in an era it could be him or tom brady. his teammates love him. he s one of the smartest players that ever played the game. now perhaps the greatest quarterback ever. unbelievable. well, that must be fun for you guys. i want made my weekend. i m sure you were in front of the weekend watching football seeing alabama to win. i did notice that they won
like the biggest way ever. they woke up. the poor little team. they were terrible, obviously. did they even score a point. no. they wanted to. if that counts. i ll move on to news and politics. something nobody in america has ever said about texas a&m. the mid-terms are weeks away and democrats and republicans are jockeying for position but not just the congress at stake but the white house. hillary clinton leads all other names tested by more than 50 points and for the moment the primary would be hers to lose. mitt romney is the head of the republican party field by 10 points. he s winning with women and voters who identify themselves as very conservative. but without him the picture is muddier with jeb bush edging out rand paul and mike huckabee. and ben carson is right behind national figures like marco rubio and chris christie.
nbc news wall street journal poll shows likely voters prefer a republican led congress by a five point spread. high-profile surrogates have fanned the country for both sides. bill clinton and senator elizabeth warren were in arkansas and iowa over the weekend for democrats. but throughout most of the cycle president obama has been noticeably absent. the washington post poll shows why his approval is upside down on everything from the economy to ebola. but he was back on the trail yesterday, campaigning in maryland and illinois for gubernatorial candidates. and in the case of the maryland defense reuters reports some of the crowd left early while the president was still speaking. the only thing they said yes to was another massive tax cut for millionaires. i know that s surprising but that s what happened. so you know who they are fighting for and it ain t you.
it s not you. they are not. willie, a lot to talk about. first let s go back to the polls. no surprise. on the democratic side hillary clinton up 50 points. yeah. on the republican side, mitt romney ahead. comfortably leading the field if he decides to run. the romneys can say they are not interested in running but the more they hear that this guy is a prohibitive favorite without even trying i got to say the more likely they are going to jump to this thing. you have to stipulate every time we look at these things it s very early. we don t know what these polls mean except there s some indecision in the republican party about who the best guy would be. does jeb get in. does chris christie get back in. until we know those pieces that poll doesn t mean that much. dorian, we say polls, mid-term polls really just don t matter until you get down to the last few weeks. we re the last few weeks away
nbc news wall street journal poll show republicans have a five moynihan lead on democrats. that s something to pay a lot of attention to. unless you re two weeks out and other polls showing this trend and then suddenly that s a big concern for democrats. all the polls that we have seen in the last few weeks and months show for a republican takeover of the senate, but there s some key races that could country out anyway in the next two weeks depending on what happens. we ve seen in several states in terms of alison lundergan grimes in kentucky and her position whether she voted for president obama, the president is trying to mobilize black voters in some key states, georgia, maryland, it will be interesting to watch what happens. generally the predicts from the polls show republicans holding on to the house and possibly taking over the senate. you mentioned elizabeth warren as she hits the campaign trail she brings an aggressive
populist message. i think the game is rigged here. i think washington actually works really well for those who have lots of money, lots of lobbyists, lots of lawyers. i remember the day that i walked into my folks bedroom, and my mother had her best dress out and i was trying to figure what this meant. i was 12. she was trying. talking to herself. we will not lose this house. and finally she wiped her face, she pulled on that dress, put on her lipstick, stepped into her high heels and she walked to the sears roebuck where she got a minimum wage job in an america where a minimum wage job would support a family of three and that s how we survived. veteran iowa reporter jennifer jacob tweeted i think it s fair to say that the crowd ofway dems absolutely loved elizabeth warren s debut speech here of the 2016 presidential cycle. is she going to run, mika? i don t know. i really don t. because i think hillary clinton has this. but i would love to see her in the conversation, that s for sure. if hillary doesn t she s putting herself in a position where she can. do you think this idea of clearing the field, hillary clearing the field is bald for her and for democrats, the fact that you have someone like elizabeth warren who has a good message, a portion of the country really relates to, can t even be talked about in serious terms until hillary clinton decides why not talk about everybody equally. it s bad for the democratic party that they are placing the crown on somebody two years out saying you are going to be the heir apparent. what we ve seen with hillary
what that makes her do is move more to the center, more to the center right, she gets cozier with wall street because she doesn t think anybody will challenge her on the left. she gets cozier with the foreign policy position that i ve been calling her a neo-con for years. she s one of the most militaristic democrats. very hawkish. also the biggest hawk in the room and i find it stunning that the democratic party will not even allow a challenge to this sort of warmed over conservatism that she presents. i agree, joe. i agree wholeheartedly. i think the republicans are in better shape because they will have a competitive primary season. we should prefer competitive elections. we were saying the same thing in 2006 and 2007. this is hillary s if she wants it and then somebody came out of almost, of the shadows so to speak and emerged at this new
candidate. the same could happen this time. those battles week in and week out that we covered, president obama and senator clinton were scratching and clawing. everyone got better. they all got better. hillary went from being an absolutely miserable candidate on the field to being, i think, an extraordinarily effective tough compelling speaker. she will not be with this sort of rose garden strategy without the rose garden which is what she s going to do. she s going to play it at 30,000 feet and get in a general election and get blind sided. i ve seen it time and time again. this is very bad for the democratic party. you see this team around her that s making it very clear to others they need to keep their distance and i think sometimes having being challenged and bringing your opponents closer to you and letting people into the process makes for exactly what you just described. yeah. a process that makes everybody better and the best
candidate emerges. i think it would being a great if elizabeth warren joined it. i really do. even for the conversation itself. and help define the party principles going into the next absolutely. politico is out with a new poll showing a pessimistic outlook for voters in swing states. 64% think things are out of control while 36% believe the country can meat its economic and national security challenges. look at that, willie. 64% we re completely out of control. america, a runaway beer truck. i ve never seen that question asked. do you think that we are a runaway beer truck careening through the appalachians about to go into a death spiral. are things completely out of control. we have to ask mike about that. 20% thought the country is on the right track. 50% say it s on the wrong track.
let s bring in mike allen. what s with your questions, man. it s very grim out there. of course who does this hurt? does this hurt the democrats since the president is in power. does it hurt republicans since republicans are running the senate? who gains, who loses from this very dower mood. depends on who is driving the beer truck and in the case of the nation that s the president so in senate races this mostly benefits democrats. in states, the governor who trying the beer truck and a great example of where this could hurt a republican is in wisconsin, where governor scott walker is very dependent on the right track/wrong track feeling in his state. now, the real game change in this poll is that as we ve seen on morning joe throughout this cycle there s been this sort of low grade worry about the economy and jobs.
but what we re seeing here, regardless of how you word the question is now a red hot worry on a number of fronts. and this includes as you delve into the polls and we have some of these specifics to show our viewers, people are worried, very worried about their health insurance and whether or not those prices are going to go up. there s mixed evidence about that. they are threat to the homeland that the islamic state could pose. this is the most interesting one. you mentioned this at the top, presidential management. believe it or not a tie between george w. bush and barack obama as to who is better off running the government. there you go in terms of managing the federal government. you see the numbers there. george w. bush seeming to be more effective, 38% to 35%. barack obama under george w. bush certainly something no one at the white house would have thought six years ago. no. four years ago.
two years ago. two days ago. but there it is. it s one crisis after another the latest is the ebola crisis that s at the top of mine. another number that jumped out at me direction of the country only 20% think that the country is on the right track. 20%. all right. mike allen, thank you. we had a debate on the show last week about that and it got, you know, rough between steve rattner and nicole wallace over who is better at running the country. can we just say can we just say that both presidents have been very challenged in their leadership abilities for different reasons. yes. and i think that it s interesting to see the republicans respond to ron klain being chosen i guess not an official ebola czar but running the ebola fall out now in this
country and they are lining up. we could play eight sound bites of people criticizing the decision at every turn. what do you think of that, though? look, it s obvious people are like why doesn t he have the medical experience. right now it s about trying to get the different organizations to work in sync with each other and in tandem. for me it wasn t that he didn t have the political background. i would have loved to see could lynn powell. emergency response. bring alan malawi. but with this, maybe ron will do a great job. i m sure he s a great guy, a greet leader but here again it s somebody that barack obama knows, that barack obama is comfortable with, that s inside the cocoon, that won t challenge anything. i think a lot of americans, if he wanted to make americans feel more comfortable he would have gotten somebody like a colin
powell or somebody from industry like alan malawi that knew how to run things. i also think what we have said in this set is that a lot of it is the optics of what they are already doing being channelled appropriately. and perhaps that s one of his great strengths, strategizing and making the different deputies work together. i get it. it was interesting to see them line up. this is what we ve seen throughout this entire presidency, just pot shots right and left. i don t think it s a pot shot to say barack obama no, i don t think it s pot shot that barack obama has serious leadership challenges. look, you have the grimace face. i would like to take betts. historians will be writing and lumping together george w. bush and barack obama as two people
that don t we just had this conversation. i don t know. on a range of issues. maybe if barack obama but as far as leadership knowing how to effectively run the white house, knowing effectively how to run washington, d.c., knowing effectively how to run the bureaucracies. we should have a surgeon general in place. i look forward to reading those historians that say this guy knows how to run washington effectively. i look forward to seeing that. i don t know who will write that. i ll be happy to call my friends in vegas and place that bet. still ahead on morning joe, actor danny aiello. he didn t start acting until he was 36 years old and he played over 90 different roles. he said he was glad he didn t get the academy award in do the right thing. he said if he did he would have lost all respect for the award.
he said if i get it it s not worth a damn. but it s what he did before acting that could be for a movie. and runners in one marathon forced to wear facemasks to compete. and a man rescues another man from a burning building. those details next on morning joe . turn the trips you have to take,

skin after it was exposed to the air. look at this poor runner here on the front of the financial times. she s texting her doctor. one of my lungs just dropped out. is that a bad thing. can i keep running. some of the athletes were unable to finish the race because of the conditions. that s why i don t run. are you going to train with me for one in a couple of weeks. no. a woman is facing charges in the first revenge porn case to be prosecuted in virginia. the 28-year-old has been charged with a misdeamnor for posting a nude picture of her ex-boyfriend s current girlfriend on facebook. officials say the woman admitted to stealing the woman off her ex-boyfriend s phone. the new law makes it illegal for people to post nude tos without

devoid of content and high on unedifying speck cal behavior that disrespects voters knows no partisan label. consider kentucky democrat alison lundergan grimes steadfast refusal to state whether she voted for president obama. this strikes me as the wrong calculation. the voters would be alienated by a straightforward answer and already lost to grimes but i can imagine wavering voters being turned off by her dodgeiness. we can talk about other democratic candidates did poorly. i go back to what you said after the republicans lost the 2012 election. if you re going to win stand for something. are republicans standing for anything specifically? some are. i don t agree this media line it s the worst election ever. in virginia where i live, ed
gillispie has given two or three serious policy speeches. he laid out, had the courage to lay out a conservative alternative to obamacare. he s losing. he s gaining. i actually think if you go around and look at tom cotton or those from new hampshire they are running clear policy campaigns. it s not a mystery what the republican party says in opposition to obama. 2014 is more about checking and stopping president obama and rebuking him for what he s done. 2016 has to have a big positive agenda. off year elections are different from presidential elections. we have some results from early voting that show promising turn out early on. iowa, georgia. few other states. promising for whom. for both parties. just for the election broadly the turn out rates are much higher than they were in 2010. dana millbank writes the
nasty politicization of ebola. there s budget cuts forcing them to shelf 14 ebola grants. the nih was forced to prioritize spending to react to the most pressing currents threats rather than potential ones and because there was little ebola activity at the time shifting money to ebola from say cancer or alzheimer research wasn t a viable possibility. with ebola vaccines entering clinical trials it s not much of a stretch to conclude that with those extra research dollars vaccines would now be on the market. all right. i can t let that go. that would be like me telling my mother, like when i was 14 years old and i kept forgetting to tie my shoes before i went out and played football and i kept tripping on the one yard line and fumbling, mom if you only spent more money on my shoes no it s that i can t stand up for falling down as abbott costello would say.
we had a congresswoman who we liked very much on friday who said all of this is happening because of cuts to this budget. no. we re talking about basic incompetency. we re talking about agencies the world health organization and the cdc not knowing how to follow set up and have people follow basic guidelines. we can have this discussion about funding later. we can t have it right now. there s gross incompetence through not only the government but health care organizations. this crisis right now is not brought about by funding. this crisis has been brought about by gross government incompetence. the time for the government to ask more money is not while they exhibit gross incompetence but when they prove to us and all taxpayers they know what the hell they are talking about and doing. ebola has been an issue in africa for months and months and months. world health organization has ignored it. the cdc the white house has. the president could have look it s a legitimate policy debate about the budget levels for nih and cdc. and how they are spending the money they have. what they are spending the money is politically correct nonsense. the president of the united states could have gone to the appropriate committees in congress and said i need to reappropriate these studies going from second hand smoke from electronic cigarettes to ebola. he didn t. it s a legitimate debate. the president is the president. the democrats control congress. if they wanted to increase funding they could have. joe is right. it s a matter of government incompetence not funding. right now. as i said from the beginning of this debate don t put me in that right-wing republican box. i m alone in the republican box. i think we should spend more money on the nih like we should spend more money on jaex but not until we reform them first. and right now, nih needs
reforming, the cdc needs reforming and before we give another dime to the w.h.o. we need to make sure through the united nations that they stop being this incompetent. this crisis is upon us today because of the horrible decisions they made last spring. because of cuts we have no vaccine. six reasons to panic for ebola. that s not true but i ll let you go ahead and put that jab in. one jab against 20. a constitutional congress that one jab was not. six reasons to panic over ebola is in the weekly standard and let s go through these bill kristol. number one, start with what we know and don t know about the virus. well, it can be transmitted, obviously, not as easily as some people think. general infection rates are terrifying. we re over 8,000 cases.
it s growing. the rate of growing is increasing. people who sit here in the u.s. and say only three kay sos far, one person was let in foolishly, he s infected two people. we don t know what happens next. that s a dangerous the growth of it is what s dangerous. the growth this is what s dangerous. i want to go back to the first question. the thing what we know and don t know. what s angered me the most is having health care officials get on tv, willie, and saying we know this. if something goes wrong, you know, it s because of a nurse who took off her uniform the wrong way. right. or a doctor that took off the uniform. like my dad. my dad was scared of flying. every time a plane flipped upside down and crashed, pilot error. a bolt falls off the engine, pilot error. could have put the thrust. that s what they are doing here. they are not exactly sure how it
transmits. i ve said this since david axelrod mocked me on meet the press three or four weeks ago. kent brantley who sat in africa preparing for ebola patients for a month, they set up special units to prepare, when they finally came in, kent dantley treated them and came home and he still doesn t know today how he got ebola. we re not exactly sure how this transmits because as this article presents, this isn t like the other four strains that infected human populations before. we don t know. if they would just say we re not exactly sure i would have a lot more confidence in them. every doctor you ve seen on television are pretty sure. this is the way it s transmitted. yesterday somebody said this is a very difficult disease to get and that s the message that s put out there. the truth is the only reason it s here in the united states one guy came in when he shouldn t because there was no screening and the hospital at dallas admitted it wasn t
prepared. it wasn t because there wasn t good screening because they gave visas to people in liberia to be tourists in the u.s. that s ridiculous. that exposed americans to risk. two americans now contracted ebola. secondly why were they treated at that hospital in dallas which seems like a normal suburban non-expert hospital. the head of the cdc said as matter of principle this can be treated at any hospital in the u.s. it s not that urgent or dramatic. they put the burden on this hospital which clearly wasn t ready for this. they put the burden on the nurses. now they got two people and said all the protocols are in place. the protocol are 800 pages. the nurses did their best. that s a real governmental failure. we should have as much concern about american lives around the flu and other things. the flu killed more americans than war in iraq but it was legitimate for people who disagreed with me this war is going well. that s a bad argument. ebola is a current threat. there s legitimate policies to debate. i m waiting for anyone to explain why people are getting via sasse in liberia and sierra leone to visit the u.s. on a non-emergency basis. this entire argument, we re playing with a nuclear bomb right here, and people are saying, well, you know, more people are going to die from the flu this year than a nuclear bomb. yeah, if we hand tell nuclear material correctly. if we don t, guess what. it s going to get bad and get bad very quickly and i m not talking about you. i really am not. but i am sick and tired of people saying oh, you re just trying to panic people. axelrod i went back to david three weeks ago being conde sending and he was wrong on every single point. he said this will not affect
elections and let s look back six months from now joe and see if nothing happens. i have four children. i hope six months from now we look back and go thank god that was just like monkey pox. axelrod s point was the government is handling it fine. of course. they just appointed someone. axelrod s point three weeks he was frustrated. and axelrod s point was how dare anybody question the federal government for doing this. called me dr. scarborough because i quoted the washington post directly on three points. i think we should be worried about the 100,000 west africans that might die. the 100,000 that s the estimates from several experts by the end of the year. we should care. i know we got to go but i have to ask bill kristol this. i ve been challenging liberals to stop being so smug.
please let s not even ask any difficult questions because you re trying to panic the population. my challenge to conservatives is this, we re going to have to do what george w. bush did with aids in africa because it s not just about aids in africa, this is an international health crisis. we have to invest, we have to do two things at once and liberals don t think we can do twhoings at once. we can. we can aggressively go after ebola in africa like george w. bush went after aids in africa. we aggressively make sure we don t let it grow here. the other countries in west africa have taken responsible precautions. they shut off entrants from people from the infected areas. as did did you read thor to about the guy who was a business leader in one of the regions in sierra leone. you don t get in you don t get out. guess whatnot one ebola patient. bill kristol, thank you. they say president obama has a spending problem. said personal finance problem. i went up to a restaurant in new york when i was a member of the general assembly, and my credit card was rejected. [ laughter ] i guess i don t use it enough. they thought there was some fraud going on. fortunately michele had hers. i was trying to explain to waitresses i ve been paying my bills. even i m affected by it. thank you very much, everybody. the president s budget director is our next guest. we ll ask what the president needs to do not to have his credit card decline. are you coming back to the princeton game this sunday? the college games are played on saturday. i thought you played high school. wow! the only person i know that says that is.lisa? julie?!

here s one of these good news/bad news cycles. good news, you re going to have to spin the bad news into good news. good to see you here. we have the office of management and budget director shaun donovan here. it shrank to $483 billion in 2013. this is an issue it s a reason i got into congress. so we see numbers like this and it s good news. could you explain to us this has been predicted for some time and then we understand it will ramp back up. why is that? well, first of all, it was predicted by the president. he said this is going be a key thing. the deficit is down two-thirds since he came into office and one of the things that s most important to focus on is not just is it down but it s below the average that we ve had over
the last 40 years. they have been predicting this for some time but it s actually lower than they have been predicting. the number that i m excited about and a lot of economists would be excited about, 2.8%. any time you re below 3% of gdp you re in pretty good shape, right? exactly right. that s a key target. whether you call it we re back to fiscal normalcy but below average of the last four years is a key thing. the bad news. what will we do about it. the demographics over the next five, six, seven years this number will go back. what do we do to lessen that. you re exactly focused on the right thing which is in the long run we have more folks retiring than we may have in the workforce to support them. we need to make sure, first of all, we re bringing health care costs down and the good news there is health care costs are
rising at the slowest rate in 50 years. that s the number one driver. medicare and medicaid, the cost of medicine is the number one driver. that s exactly right. one other good thing because costs are rising more slowly, if you look out to 2020 cbo says our costs will be lower by $188 billion just in that one year. so we are taking steps, the affordable care act is contributing to this slower growth. the recovery of the economy is an important piece of it. all of those things are key things, we need to keep pushing on those. immigration reform is another key thing we can do. that would save about a trillion dollars to 6r years if we could gelt immigration reform. you re beginning to see the effects of the president s policies and it appears to be good news on the economy, jobs front more people are working. the reason people are not feeling this good news wages are
stagnant. they are not make ends meet. we do see americans perceiving the economy as getting better. lots of folks going back to work. the president gets letters all the time from people who have gotten a job these last few years. 1.3% drop in the unemployment rate in the last year. that s the fastest we ve seen in about 30 years. you re right. wages have been not just over the last few years but over a few decades one of the biggest challenges that we had. it s accelerated a bit. we got to take additional steps. raising the minimum wage. investing more in things like infrastructure. investing in people s skills so they can ge that better job when it comes open. there s a range of thing we need to do and the president is focused on doing those things. shaun donovan thank you so much. great to have you on the show. congratulations. at least for this week. pushing karma aside the ceo of microsoft continues his apology tour this morning.
plus as united states fights isis from the air reports say the terror group has now gotten its hands on fighter jets. that troubling development ahead on morning joe . before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an underserved season . and before he quit his friend s leaf-raking business for not offering a 401k. larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that s why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that s the power of streamlined connections. that s merrill edge and bank of america. it s monday. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile.

. richard haas, war,
pestilence, dogs living with cats. almost biblical. where are we right now with the president s strategy towards isis. we hear they are getting fighter jets. what s our strategy? you don t know, do you? it s not a question of whether i know, it s a question of whether they know. there you go. we re beginning to see two things are not working. one in syria the absence of a ground partner, turkey has not come over. for the first time we re seeing the administration work directly with the kurds inside of syria. that s a big break. secondly in iraq what i think you ll see is increasing work around the iraqi government. again direct support for the kurds, for the sunni arabs, our partners the iraqi government. the new iraqi government is weak. looks like the old iraqi government. a lot of people said there s got to be ground troops of some kind. you can t do it just from taxpayer.
we hoped we would find partners. you say that s not been the most fruitful enterprise. will we see american ground troops? you ve seen them increasingly inside iraq. we did it all without a status of forces agreement. the administration said that was the reason we couldn t have iraqi forces stay in iraq and now more than 1,000 americans are there without the iraqi political system. shows there s more wiggle room than people thought. yeah. you ll see increasing numbers in iraq particularly working directly with kurds and sunni tribes and less likely but potentially in places inside syria. if we have zones where kurds begin to control certain territory not inconceivable you ll see american special forces there. dorian? i m curious about the nonmilitary strategy. what is it up to this point besides just the air strikes and potential ground troops. we know we need more than military option to defeat isis. what s the strategy? short term and long term. short term to reduce the philosophy recruits through places like turkey and reduce the flow of funding through places like qatar and saudi arabia. you re not seeing a diplomatic strategy to calm things down in syria. but at some point you could have low level talks with russia and iran. the long term is to do something that s so deeply flawed about the arab world. we can t fix the entire world. what if we just shake up the table right now and say, you know what? we ll double downtown kurds. the kurds are a tough fighting unit. if we can get them to take care of their region across the north, syria will not like it. turkey is not is going to like it. we really don t care. we need to bring order to this chaos. can they do it? certainly inside of iraq that s your major partner and letting go of the fiction that you have this intact country called iraq. i would let go of it. when this is all said and done you won t have something called
syria and iraq any more. this border is meaningless. you ll have clusters. you ll have a kurdish area. sunni areas. shi ite areas. this idea of this hetehogenous middle east is over. joe biden s idea from 2003. more radical than that. we were talking about areas of autonomy. he s called the president s pick for ebola czar. the chairman who heard testimony on ebola joins the show. new polls are giving a revealing look at the direction of the country with less than 15 days way until the elections. serena williams blasting a high ranking tennis official who should have been fired. it s weird. racist, sexist, bullying comments and he still has a job. we ll tell you what he said next. goal is to grow.
gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they ll only show up when you print a label and it s automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics.
you pay your auto insurance premium every month on the dot. you re like the poster child for paying on time. and then one day you tap the bumper of a station wagon. no big deal. until your insurance company jacks up your rates. you freak out. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? hey insurance companies, news flash. nobody s perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won t raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. welcome back to morning joe. look at that beautiful shot of new york city. it felt like fall this morning. it was cold. cold this morning. chilly. richard haas and dorian warren are still with us at the table. much to talk about today. we ll start with the mid-terms. politics. it s getting hotter. how did the giants do yesterday? did the giants win? because i seriously i thought this was a circle just got broken. how about the jets? they didn t play did they? did the jets play? what. thursday. that s right. okay. moral victory but an actual loss. giants throats the cowboys who are a very good team as it turns out. really? the eagles and the cowboys. the tony romo still dating jessica simpson. i m going back to politics now. hillary clinton redskins won. i saw that on the front page of the the washington post. let s go the news. hillary clinton leads all other names tested by more than 50 points in these polls and for the moment primary would be hers to lose. mitt romney ahead of the republican field by at least ten points. he s winning with women and voters alike. let s stop right there. keep going. who identify themselves as very conservative. but without him, the picture is muddier with jeb bush edging out senator rand paul and mike
huckabee and newcomer ben carson is right behind national figures like marco rubio and chris christie. let s go back to that first one that has mitt romney up ahead. he s about ten points ahead of everybody else. pretty crazy, richard haas, isn t it, that mitt romney by not running now puts himself in first and you have to go back to that foreign policy debate where time and time again mitt romnbaa mocked him for being concerned about vladimir putin, for being concerned about other things that have blown up in the past couple of years. i think that s why voters are going wait a second this guy called it right. other polls say the democratic advantage in handling foreign policy and national security is fading. that will help republicans. mitt romney represents a kind of he hasn t been around so that makes him slightly fresher
and he represents a managerial republicanism. in the other poll jeb bush is leading. these are not ideological people. it s interesting, in the poll that has mitt romney ahead he leads with female voters, and conservative voters. you don t see those two things going together very often. and then, willie, there s nbc news wall street journal poll that came out that talked about how americans are really concerned one of the questions they asked the politico it s a politic sko poll. this is nbc news wall street journal poll republicans have a five-point lead. these things don t mean nothing until you get close to the election. we re two weeks away. i wonder if we re starting to see a slight trend towards a republican party that s concerning a lot of democrats. same thing whoever the president is, there s a reaction to that party.
so they want to see some republican control. they already have control of the house. they want to see control of the senate as well. the question you were talking about with politico is the country completely out of control. i love it. this is what year it is. can we see the number here. because this question is the country completely out of control. this is not a question that pollsters usually ask voters. this is a question one parent usually asks another parent about their teenage boy. right. is he completely out of control. 64% of americans think things are completely out of control. we ll be serious here for one second. if democrats end up losing control of the senate and lose a lot of seats in the house, it s not going to be really hard to look back and look at the administration s handling of isis and the ebola crisis combined with everything else. what s wrong with their handling of isis. are we done? is the war over and we lost it? i m confused. you, obviously, are confused because if you look it s messaging issue. that s what they lost control of. the president s poll numbers have completely collapsed. it s not a messaging issue. you have the president of the united states who has made one miscalculation after another for a very long time. and you re seeing that in the polls. now we could all have the debate. i ve been here supportive of the president over the past month or so in many respects. i m just simply saying, though, americans see what s happening in the middle east and they see what s happening with the ebola crisis and it looks like the president has been out of control for the past two or three months. whether that s fair or not fair it s not. you may not think that so you wouldn t be one of the 20% that think america is going in the right direction. the overwhelming majority of the
teaming masses that watch you as you jump off to the south of france disagree. the administration did itself no favor. it set itself up for defeat. they said isis was a jv team. then it turned out to be a bigger problem. then on ebola don t get worried. it s a case of a little bit of over promising and underdelivering. that s where the administration did itself no favors. family members of the liberian national that died you say are saying the same thing. willie, this hurts me. can you intervene, willie on my behalf. you two need to work this out. he s done. he s out of control. no more counselling. he can t at this point. all right. what s next family members of the liberian national who died in dallas from ebola are marking an important milestone this
morning. three weeks of confinement are not over for thomas eric duncan s fiancee and other relatives who had close contact with him. family members are flonger considered at risk for the virus and a dallas health care worker who was being monitored on a cruise ship also tested negative for ebola. meanwhile the pentagon says it s preparing a 30 member quick strike team in case there are more ebola cases diagnosed in the u.s. it comes as a new york times reporter over the weekend that president obama is not pleased with how aids initially responded. you know how the white house leaked this out the president is angry with his staff members. sure. absolutely. leak that out. the president announced ron klain former chief of staff to vice president joe biden and former vice president al gore will oversee the federal response. so one thing we have noticed, you look at this family that s now, duncan s family that s freed up, it seems i think
it s really telling that the people who treated duncan when he first went to the hospital, when he a fever, had ebola but not the later stages of ebola no one got infected in that time period, when no one was wearing hazmat suits or taking precautions, then he went home and came back in advance stages even with the hazmat suits, unbelievably contagious. like a lot of health care workers said, chances are good if you re flying with someone on an airplane even if they have ebola in the early stages you won pick it up. it s in those later stages when it becomes so contagious they still don t know what the proper protocols are now. joining us now tim murphy of pennsylvania who chairs the oversight and investigations subcommittee, and i guess, first of all, let s talk about the ebola czar. i take it you are critical of this choice. well, look. this is a very uncertain course we re going through here.
there s a lot we don t know about ebola, and we don t know what we don t know. it goes that far. after the hearings it was clear that even the experts have a great deal of concerns with moving forward. i think at this time when america is very worried and very anxious about this we didn t need someone who was a political person who has worked on campaigns before. i didn t hear anybody at that hearing saying please put somebody in charge of us who works on campaigns. there s is a great deal that still needs to be done in this nation. my request to the president was travel restrictions on non-essential travel. making sure we re training more people. create more centers who can handle ebola. advance research at a faster speed. tell us what congress needs to do. have more transport mechanisms, et cetera and continue to put a great deal of work into africa. that s the things we need to be focusing on at this time to increase that whole defense perimeter for the united states. richard haas you suggested he
put somebody like colin powell or mitt romney. i talked somebody like alan malawi, somebody that outside of the political sphere. it s awfully strange to me at least you put somebody in there who worked on political campaigns. just to be year this is not a shot at ron klain. it s not. this is nothing personal about him. look this is a disease which is insidious and pervasive. thousands have died. we don t need somebody who has to have a learning curve but somebody who understands what needs to be done when the physicians and other researchers and people involved with this make a request, someone who involved and knows his logistic, get him on board. this is dangerous. willie geist is here with a question. congressman to take a step back, does adding another layer of bureaucracy, somebody else to the problem actually help? will this make things better? will we see a rapid
transformation in the way we respond to the crisis? you don t cure bureaucratic problems with more bureaucracy. right now one of the problems taking place in africa, we have 300 soldiers there and the president has committed several thousand more. the reason why this is a critical time, a number of my grant workers are leaving western africa and traveling throughout africa for other jobs. there s so many thing that need to be done. my concern is someone who just has worked on other things and nothing to do with this there s too much of a learning curve and more bureaucracy isn t helpful. an ebola czar is an hhs secretary or someone within that. the only reason more bureaucracy might be useful you got all sorts of people inside the u.s. government and between the u.s. government and outsiders who never worked together. this may be one of these cases where bureaucratically this makes sense. you re used to having private-sector, ngo, federal and
so forth. one thing that will change this debate is the ability to detect ebola. rather than waiting for 21 days, within an hour. but several drug companies are very close. not a vaccine but a detection kit almost like a diabetes test within an hour. what a huge difference that will make. the whole debate over travel and screening fundamentally changes. fda is looking at several drugs. that can be transformative. congressman tim murphy, thank you very much. one more story here. tennis star serena williams is firing back at comments made by a member of the international olympic committee who referred to her as one of the quote williams brothers and also called her scary. williams called the comments made by shamil tarpischev quote, very insensitive, extremely sexist, racist and bullying. shamil tarpischev apologized after being fined $25,000 as
head of the russian tennis federation and he s banned from tour involvement for a year. there was a meeting between bib hops and cardinals in pushing for a more inclusive church. the final version said homosexuals have gifts and qualities that should be welcomed by the church. it signaled an openness to divorced catholics by a vote of 118-62. bishops still approved this statement. nonetheless men and women with homosexual tendencies must be welcomed with respect and delicacy. the pope included the revised statement even though it fell short of a needed two-thirds majority. the final edited document shows there s deep divisions within the catholic church and conservative catholics won out. during sunday s mass pope francis said god is not afraid of new things. he also urged church leaders to accept ways that society has changed. mika don t you love that
statement? i think it s a great statement. i think it s fantastic that they are having the debate. i think anybody that sits out there this morning and says oh, the catholic church is so backwards and so this and so that because they didn t accept the whole thing needs to remember, all right, the church this has been doctrine for over 2,000 years and the united states of america in 2004, republicans won elections by running anti-gay marriage campaigns, just because we changed as quickly as we ve changed in america in ten years doesn t and invatican is going to whip one way suddenly. they are having the discussion, though. and that s extraordinarily important. it s important for the church and it s important it s a discussion brilliantly being led by this pope. he s not forcing anything. he s not trying to sort of push it through unnaturally. he s really trying to make everybody question their own
consciences and sense of perfection and judgment. even in the vote there s not condemnation, there s openness. as you said it s almost better that things don t get whipped through. when fundamental change happens there s a kay for gradualism. that s why that one sentence kind of, quite frankly undermines the critics. gradualism that s certainly a lot more acceptable to, to those in the church that may believe in same sex marriage. because you ve got somebody at the top that you feel like is actually sympathetic to your position and actually human. the most important thing when you walk through the church doors instead of feeling like at outcast you feel like they want you there, willie and you get that sense by looking at this. he s doing two things. yes he s speaking out for what believes is the right thing but
it s strategic. he know for the church to survive you ll have a whole generation of people looking at the doctrine saying this has no relationship to how i see the world. it s not about gays and lesbians. poverty inequality. a range of crises in the world. this church is in a crisis of membership. this is a huge step forward that legitimatizes the debate and institution and allows people entry instead of exclusion. still ahead rear admiral john kirby joins us. plus facing skrut tiny over comments he made about equal pay for women in the workplace, satya nadella gives his first television interview as ceo of microsoft. we ll hear from him next. that s kind of a rough start. karma man. karma is going to get you.

[laughter] eh. now s the time to get in the loop. just look for our fall tv picks with xfinity on demand. quickly find the season s hottest shows, with a handpicked collection all in one place. only from xfinity. all right. time now take a look at the morning papers. we ll start with the stuntton news leader. police belief they may have found the body of hannah graham. human remains were found outside of charlottesville. no conclusive i.d. but the parents have been notified. remains were located in the some region where the body of a virginia tech student was discovered in 2009 and police have linked 32-year-old jesse matthew jr. s dna to both women. he s been charged in graham s disappearance. the usa today, the dea is being used for using a woman s identity to create a fakes facebook page as port of an ongoing investigation. the woman claimed the agency
used photos from her phone after she was arrested. the dea said she consented by allowing information stored in her cell phone to be used in their investigation. in a letter to the agency facebook said the matter is a serious breach of its policies and asked for assurances it hadn t made other fake profiles. the los angeles times, police have arrest ad woman for trying to break into a california home through the chimney. around 6:00 in the morning police found the woman stuck. this is a photo look at that. her hands over her head. where is her santa hat. she s trapped inside. took two hours to bust her out using dish soap and dismantling part of the brick facade. that s a long way down. what s in that house that was worth that. you punch through the glass in the back door. willie that didn t work for you. look at your hand. usa today turns out more men were cutting back during the recession when it came to having kids. no male pregnancies between 2007 between 2007 and 2009 rates of vasectomies went up. about 5.8% of men got vasectomies in the worst years for the u.s. economy that number went up to 7.5%. i m confused. what are you confused about. nothing. what are your confused? they didn t want to have babies during the great recession. right let s move on. unless you guys want to talk about vasectomies. give me about 20 years. microsoft ceo is apologizing after making tone deaf comments about equal pay in the workplace. joining us now, cnbc john ford has an exclusive interview with
satya nadella. how did he do? i think he did pretty well. you can be the judge along with viewers. satya nadella had gone to a conference called grace hopper conference, which was women in technology and he was asked what should women do when they want to ask for a raise but aren t sure how. basically said well don t ask, just trust that karma will take care of it. when he talked to me he said look it was a mistake. what i said is i gave the advice that i was given that worked for me. i became the ceo of microsoft. i didn t take into account how it would sound to people that feel they have been held back from opportunities in their jobs. he s working on changing the industry and how industry looks at this. he also said this about how microsoft is doing on these issues. take a listen. it turns out last year 99.7% of the men s salaries are what women make. it s different than what s felt across all industries. we re doing well.
by the way, i m not celebrating any of it. all i said we pay equally if you re at the same level. the real issue is do we have enough people of different ethnicity and women in those levels. do we have them in our corporate vice president ranks, are we promoting people as rigorously. there s other secondary things we have to go after. to your points of course the expectation of anyone should be that a ceo like me should go to work on this and have some principles guided and the two principles that i really want to stay grounded on is equal pay for equal work and equal opportunity for equal work and we ll make progress on that. the interesting part there, guys, equal opportunity piece saying he s looking to make sure that women and other groups, minorities, have the opportunity to be at the same level to make those same amounts as others in the workplace. interesting conversation. he also is talking about
microsoft s cloud initiatives, trying to push technology forward, guys. thank you so much. mika, you okay now? did he explain everything okay? actually, i was surprised. at what? because he basically said, you know, kind of pointed to culture again. he looked at the way he viewed his own experience. right. was narrow about it. what worked for him. designee has to take his apology a step forward. like what nancy did when she took over time magazine she looked at all the salaries of women and their male counterparts and raised the women to their male counterparts. he needs to take a look at microsoft s payroll and needs to bring every women up to the male counterpart. i can tell you they are not paid equally. he needs to make that public. for women to do the same job as men do. absolutely. since he s clearly admitting that he has a knowledge gap on the issue. i m curious he has to learn. he s sorry. you didn t like what he said. what he said is i was passing on advice that was given me. that seems pretty legit, right? right. when you re running a company you actually have to include other people besides people with your own culture, world view. what he s saying is he s close minded. that was his problem. can we go back to those chairs. get us back to these chairs. i m curious, because these chairs, can they really be comfortable to be sitting in, t.j.? i m uncomfortable. theysprockets. my answer to that one question which i interpreted super narrowly was wrong bus i answered through my experience through my career and when you
work passionately you see rewards. he said that was a mistake i was looking through my lens. at a women s conference that was his advice. i think he has to do something. i don t think there s anything he can say any more. when we go to women s conferences do you know what mika tells women? don t act like joe. i do. she does. i say that. how do you think that makes me feel. maybe find your own authentic graceful way of navigating the negotiations. it breaks my heart in a million pieces. you do well for you, joe. and that s important. it makes me sad. you re very good at it. still ahead the long road of political come back. why some can t quit even after spending time in prison. and the pentagon has helped with a domestic response to the ebola outbreak, and many other items. morning joe will be right
back. when we do come back i ll learn how to read the teleprompter. stick around. i ll be right here. okay. there s confidence. then there s trusting your vehicle maintenance to ford service confidence. our expertise, technology, and high quality parts means your peace of mind. it s no wonder last year we sold over three million tires. and during the big tire event, get up to $140 in mail-in rebates on four select tires. when laquinta.com sends him a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i m sold! a selling machine! ready for you alert, only at lq.com.
it s about getting to the finish line. in life, it s how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn t require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn t have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. don t stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on
xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. captain obvious: this is a creepy room. man: oh hey, captain obvious. captain obvious: you should have used hotels.com. their genuine guest reviews are written by guests who have genuinely stayed there. instead of people who lie on the internet. captain: here s a review, it s worse in person.
{door unlocking} hey, what s up? (door closing) how s it going? what are you doing? i can t believe you re watching this without me. we agreed we d catch up on everything tonight. if i did this to you, you d murder me in my sleep. you know what? just watch it by yourself. (sighs) i can t not know when i know that you know. the latest episodes of the top 100 shows are preloaded and ready to watch with xfinity on demand. here with us now pentagon
press secretary, rear admiral john kirby. thank you very much for being on the show with us this morning, sir. first of all, describe this 30 person rapid response ebola medical support team. i guess better late than never and also how it will help prevent and protect in this country? well this team is going to be on what we called prepare to deploy. 20 nurses, five infectious disease experts and five trainers. they are going to get down to texas for some training this week. so that they have all the protocols in place and they know what to do and the preparations and put on this prepare to deploy order status where they can be ready in 72 hours. that period will last for 30 days. be on that ready status for 30 days to go assist civilian medical authorities anywhere in the country that might need them. admiral, it s willie geist. what about the source of ebola. most experts think if you want to stop the outbreak you have to
go to west africa to do it. what exactly is their role there, what can the united states military do? in west africa in keeping with the requirements laid on us by the government of liberia and usaid and cdc we have 5450 troops. those troops are focused on four line of effort. mostly there s a lot of construction going on. we re trying to get these emergency treatment units stood up and built, a training site built. two emergency training units that we re working on are on track. first one will to be done by the end of this month. second one probably the first week of november. weather has been a factor. it s monsoon season down there, a lot of rain slowing us down. the infrastructure is not so good in some of these places where we re building these units there are no roads and where there are roads they are mud most of the time. slower than we would like it to go. that s what our troops are focused on. admiral, it s richard haas.
can you explain how it s possible legally for u.s. armed forces to take on the sort of role you re describing within the united states given the so-called rules and what they are allowed to do within our territory. sure. we actually do have the legal authorities to do this. this isn t going to violate a law enforcement role. this is nothing more than potential support and i stress potential support to civilian medical authorities if and only if they ask for that. there s novi allocation. the northern command commander has the authorities he needs to get this team ready to go. admiral, i m curious what your response is to critics of the recently appointed ebola czar ron klain. do you think he doesn t have a public health or medical background but do you think he s equipped to deal with the crisis and coordinate among different agencies and the private-sector? our job is to support him and whatever he needs us to do. our job is to support the interagency and the government and that s what we re doing. admiral let s move on to isis. we hear isis may have gotten control of fighter jets. what can you tell us. we have no indication they have fighter jets in their capability or capability to fly them and we don t have any indication they have any air defense or anti-air capability at all. we re watching it very closely. any concerns about that. are you making preparations for it. right now do you just don t see that strategically as a limitation for what you want to do over there? we worry about everything here at the pentagon and we make it our business to be concerned about all those kinds of capabilities. we re watching it very, very closely. we don t see any indication they have that capability. we re watching it very, very closely. what s the situation in central baghdad right now, central iraq and baghdad. reports coming over the ap of another suicide bombing. 17 dead. 17 dead. appears to a lot of observers and i don t expect you to make
any comment along these lines but people saying this iraqi government not much better than the last iraqi government. how do we up the ante in helping the kurds. what are we doing to help the kurds help themselves and help us in the process? there s a lot in there so let me break it down. one of these days i ll learn how to ask a simple question. how are you doing today, admiral. good, bad? how is your back stroke? let s start with the kurds. what are we doing to help the kurds. as you may have noticed last night we did an air drop of supplies to the kurdish forces inside kobani and trying to defend that city against isil. every indication we have the morning the bundles made to it the hand we want to make them to, at least the vast majority did. we re trying shore up their ability to defend that town. north of iraq, our partner nations, many coalition nations are resupplying kurdish forces there in the north. we have a joint operations
center in erbil. they are holding their own. no question about that. let s go down baghdad. you talked about the ied attack. no surprise to anybody that isil wants to continue to threaten the capital city. this is a group that not only is a group of terrorists but they want to grab ground. they want infrastructure. they have these governs designs, this caliphate vision. it should come as no surprise they are threatening baghdad. that said we do not assess that baghdad is under imminent threat right now. there s no masses of formation of isil fighters around the capital and iraqi security fors are doing a good job stiffening their defenses. good to hear. last week a lot of people were talking about western baghdad being at risk. thank you for being with us. we appreciate it as always. we ll work on simplifying my questions. four goals by the way really quickly.
richard, it is very important what he said, baghdad right now doesn t seem like it s under any threat. there was a concern because anbar province, everything west of baghdad seems to be going intoy isis hands. lot of concern this is going move towards baghdad right now. not imminent but still fundamental challenge about getting the sunni tribes to work with us rather than deferred to isis. there s real questions whether this iraqi government can organize and motivate iraqi government troops to fight for their country. that s an open question. okay. still ahead on morning joe, four goals in the final three minutes of the game. i almost a heart attack. did you? yes, i did. roger bennett has the stunning play. stop. you re terrible. but first two men who are
hoping to win their elections next month and hoping that the voter don t mind a little thing like having, you know, having been to prison. yeah. ah-ha. we ll hear their story next. that one is good. you re going to like this. i m going to love this one.

clearly you are type e. you made it phil. welcome home. now what s our strategy with the fondue? diversifying your portfolio? e trade gives you the tools and resources to get it right. are you type e ? less than two weeks from tomorrow we talk about a lot of exciting elections. three involving guys you heard of. edwin edwards famed former governor of louisiana now running for congress. designee loves america. the long time mayor of providence spent some time in the federal lock up. running again. larry pressler after almost 20 years out of office is running for his seat in south dakota. has pressler been to jail no. why are we profiling him
snoom s a political come back. i get that theme. this 87-year-old man is working the phones for votes. i m a politician that knows how to deliver on his promises. i m governor edwards. edwards as in edwin edwards, congressat candidate who spent 16 years as governor of louisiana. before spending 8 1/2 years in prison for racketeering. he s one of a crop of candidates seeking political redemption this fall. there s 76-year-old larry pressler out for a morning jog and stunning the political world as he runs neck and neck in a race to win back the south dakota senate seat he lost in 1996. i have my seniority. i can be a powerful senator for south dakota. one person is not so thrilled about the prospects of a come back. his wife. she s not excited about coming back to washington. there s the legendary former six term providence mayor buddy,
looking to return to city hall after a prison stint of nearly five years for conspiracy to commit racketeering. i did my time. in this system you get found guilty you pay the price. i ve always proclaimed my innocence. released in 2007 from what he calls the federal gated community, the 73-year-old wants his old job back, holding court on this night at a drag bingo game. under the b for buddy, 6. why dive back in. we had over a decade of decline in the city. that s number one. i was looking to see who was running and none had the vision. he has his share of critics but what polls show providence just might give buddy another try. i got you out of a bad time in 1980. well i m glad you remember it. even over the phone, everyone knows exact leadership who edwin edwards is. governor, did that gentleman say you got him out of a bad time in 1980. that s what he said. do you recall? he was very grateful. edwards spent the evening this way, cold calling and then catching up with voters who feel like old friends. hi. edwards who many people in louisiana still call the governor and who now has a 1-year-old son was first elected to congress 50 years ago. you know, a lady asked me the other day, you re 87 years old, you re retired, why don t you do what you feel like doing. i said lady that s what i m doing. he s not worried about those 8 1/2 years behind bars. i did nothing wrong. i want to point something out i had nothing to do with my politics. nothing to do with my role as governor. the justice system disagreed. as we walked around baton rouge people were overwhelmingly happy to see him. i think he would be an excellent congressman. edwards provided american politics with some of its most famous quotes like this one from his 1983 gubernatorial race. that campaign provide another perhaps your most famous quote which is the only way i can lose this race is if i got caught in bed with a dead woman or live boy and, you know, there was no chance of that happening. edwin edwards, ladies and gentlemen. wow. so, willie, he s running for congress. why did he decide to run for congress instead of governor. good question. he said i rather run for governor but the law in the state of louisiana says you have to wait 15 years from the time you re released from prison to run. so he can do it when he s 99. that 87-year-old has a 1-year-old baby. he has a 1-year-old baby, yes. why did he meet his wife. she s a woman that visited him in prison. grew up while he was governor of her state. they got married and now they have a 1-year-old. how old is she. 35, 36. i love america. the deal on him it s a very
red district. he s a democrat. people think he ll get in the runoff. he s still an underdog. buddy is leading in the polls. larry pressler is tight as well. he slowed them once. the only way he would no, no. they asked him if he was going to lose or not. this is his 1983 race. only way i could lose if i was found in bed with a dead woman or a live boy. there was a year, willie, where he was running for governor. he was running against david duke. that s my favorite. the klansman. his bumper sticker was vote for the crook. go ahead dean it. so they running against david duke the grand which standard of the klan. he was asked do you have anything in common. the only thing we have in common
is we both whiz under the sheets. still ahead, madonna once gave danny aiello a key piece of advice. we ll find out what that is when he joins us. roger bennett is here with the football frenzy. i m relieved roger is here. we ll be right back.
we got roger bennett here. he s the analyst for blazers. roger. hey, roger. i m telling you, man, so liverpool playing the worst team, qpr. the jacksonville jaguars. i m watching the game. they re ahead 1-0. i m thinking, we re going to get an ugly three points but i ll take it. what happened then? this was mario bartelle, their long-sufferering scorer. an own goal. so qpr scores a goal for liverpool. qpr did the unexpected, they
righted a wrong by equalizing chaos in the lir poverpool defe. it looked like it was going to be 1-1. then a brief moment of wonder with one minute to go. liverpool look to have by the way, by the way cuntino, most important moment of the game for us. vargas again, chaos in the liverpool defense. the protestant work ethic is reaffirmed. liverpool bang the ball home. second own goal. i will say belotelli was in good position there. you think so? he did earlier in the game shoot over the bar. mario barotelli is kind like the manny ramirez of football. how many has he scored this season? none in the epl, one in the champions league.
he missed one from about four feet yesterday. a huge disappointment. liverpool only have two weaknesses. one is they can t attack and the other is they can t defense. they struggled against queens park rangers. she s a big qpr fan. dear god, it s going to be very ugly. very bad news, sturridge out for another month. he actually looked at his leg and it broke in half again. it s just miserable. let s go on to chelsea. no doubt, most dominant team. five points clear at the top of the table. unbelievable, five points clear this early. the passing along the edge of the box. it s like hypnotizing, the ball movement. you hip ypnotize me, roger. i d like that to be my phone
message. so up on man city. southampton. okay, here s the deal, for anybody that doesn t follow, southampton actually traded away their entire squad, their entire squad. they re the hottest team right now in english football. they won 8-0 this weekend. they are america s darlings. manchester united play this afternoon on nbc sports. take the afternoon off, america. nobody ser sugge ee eer ever southampton are america s darling but now that you ve said it, i m going to adopt that as well. how s your show going? tonight, 10:00, thank you, on nbc sports. the first week, mika, the first week ratings, actually higher than american idol in its first season. and the voice combined. up next, our friends at politico know how to ask a poll question, that is for sure. we ll tell you how many people think things are, quote, completely out of control. also ahead, is it a bad thing if
you have to wear a gas mask while running a marathon? plus, a daring rescue of a man from a burning building. those details when morning joe returns. there was no question she was the one.
she reminds you every day. but your erectile dysfunction-that could be a question of blood flow. cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved to treat symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use
and a free 30-tablet trial. ring ring! .progresso! you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. well vegetables. shh! taste better in our savory broth. vegetables!? no.soup! oh! soup! loaded with vegetables. packed with taste. over 12,000 financial advisors.
so, how are things? good, good. nearly $800 billion dollars in assets under care. let me just put this away. how did edward jones get so big? could you teach our kids that trick? by not acting that way. ok, last quarter. it s how edward jones makes sense of investing. welcome back to morning joe. dorian warren is back at the table along with joe, willie and me. last night patton manning broke the
all-time career touchdown record that was held by brett favre. yeah. he did it in the first half. he needed three and he threw three in the first half, just for good measure. he s going to make the case, he s the greatest of all time. it could be one of those two guys. and he s done it with huhumilit. he s carried himself well off the field. and now perhaps the greatest quarterback ever. unbelievable. wow. well, that must be fun for you guys. it made my weekend. i m sure you were in front of the tv watching football all weekend. seeing alabama win 59-0. i did notice they won in the biggest way ever. they woke up. the poor little team well, they were terrible obviously. did they even score a point? no, they didn t. they wanted to, if that counts. such a sports analyst. i m going to move on to news and
politic, now. poor little team. okay. the midterms are now weeks away and they re jockeying for position with not just the congress at stake but the white house as well two years from now. hillary clinton leads all other names tested by more than 50 points, and for the moment, the primary would be hers to lose. mitt romney is ahead of the republican party field by at least five points. he s winning by women and voters who identify as very conservative. without him, the picture s muddier. newcomer ben carson is right behind national figures like marco rubio and chris christie. likely voters prefer a republican-led congress by a five-point spread. high-profile surrogates have fanned the country for both sides. former president bill clinton and senator elizabeth warren were in arkansas and iowa over the weekend for democrats.
president obama has been noticeably absent. that same washington post poll shows why his approval is upside down on everything from the economy to ebola. but he was back on the trail yesterday. for gubernatorial candidates. in the case of the maryland event, reuters reports, some of the crowd left early, while the president was still speaking. the only thing they said yes to was another massive tax cut for millionaires. i know that s surprising, but that s what happened. so you know who they re fighting for. and it ain t you. it s not you. they re not. willie, a lot to talk about. let s first of all go back to the polls. the democratic side, hillary clinton up 50 points. on the republican side, though, mitt romney ahead. comfortably lapping the field. if he decides to run.
now, the romneys can say they re not interested in running, but the more they hear this guy is a prohibitive favorite without even trying, i ve got to say, the more likely they re going to jump to this thing. every time we look at these, it s obviously very, very early. we don t know exactly what these polls mean except there does appear to be some indecision in the republican party. does jeb get in. does crihristie make his way in? they re already thinking about the last guy. we say that poll, midterm polls, really don t matter until you get to the last few weeks. we are the last few weeks away. nbc news/ wall street journal poll shows republicans have a five-point lead. that s something to pay a lot of attention to. unless you re two weeks out and other polls start showing this trend. suddenly, that is a big concern for democrats. all the polls that we have
se in the last few weeks and months show if the republican can take over the sete, there s some key races that could turn out any way in the next two weeks, depending what happens. we ve seen already in several state, grimes in kentucky, in terms of her position. the president is trying to mobilize black voters in some key states. georgia, maryland. it will be interesting to watch what happens these last two weeks. the predictions from the polls show the republicans holding on to the house of course and possibly taking over the senate. i ve mentioned elizabeth warren. as she hits the campaign trail, she brings an aggressively populist message, especially on the american financial system. take a look. i think the game is rigged here. i think washington actually works really well for those who have lots of money, lots of lobbyists, lots of lawyers. i remember the day that i walked in to my folk s bedroom
and my mother had her best dress out. trying to figure out what this meant. i was 12. she was crying, talking to herself, we will not lose this house. and finally, she wiped her face, she pulled on that dress, put on her lipstick, stepped into her high heels and she walked to the sears roebuck where she got a minimum wage job in an america where a minimum wage job would support a family of three. and that s why we survived. veteran iowa reporter jennifer jacobs tweeted, i think it s fair to say that the crowd of iowa dems absolutely loved elizabeth warren s debut speech here of the 2016 presidential cycle. is she going to run, mika? i don t know. i really don t know. because i think hillary clinton
has this. i would love to see her in the conversation, that s for sure. she definitely is putting herself into a big position if she can. do you think hillary clearing the field is ultimately bad for her and democrats? the fact you have someone like elizabeth warren that has a good message. can t even be talked about in serious terms until hillary clinton decides? why not talk about everybody equally now? i think it s really bad for the democratic party that they are that they re placing a crown on somebody two years out, saying, you are going to be the heir apparent. what we ve seen with hillary, what that makes her do is move more to the center, more to the center right. she gets cozier with wall street because she doesn t think anybody s going to challenge her on the left. she gets cozier with a foreign policy position. again, i ve been calling her neocon for years. certainly one of the most
militaristic democrats that ser held high office. she s always, always the biggest hawk in the room. and i find it stunning that the democratic party will not even allow a challenge to this sort of warmed-over conservativism she presents. i agree, joe. i agree wholeheartedly with you. the republicans are in better shape because they re going to have a competitive primary season. but remember, we were saying the same thing in 2006 and 2007. this is hillary s if she wants it. and then somebody came out of almost, you know, the shadows so to speak and emerge as this new candidate. i think the same could happen this time as well. the battles we covered, president obama and senator clinton were scratching, claws. er got better. hillary went from being an absolutely myself rabl candidate on the field to being i think an
extraordinarily effective, tough, compelling speaker. she will not be with this sort of rose garden strategy without the rose garden, which is what she s going to do. she s going to fly at 30,000 feet, then she s going to get into a general election and she s going to get blindsided. i ve seen it time and time again. this is very bad for the democratic party. you see this team around her making it clear to others they need to keep their distance. i think sometimes having your being challenged and bringing your opponents closer to you and letting people into the process makes for exactly what you just described, a process that makes everybody better. and the best candidate emerges. i think it would be great if elizabeth warren joined it. i really do. even for the conversation itself. and to help define the party principles going into the next. absolutely. politico is out with a new battleground poll showing a
pessimistic view. 64% think things are out of control. look at that, 64%. we are completely out of control. america, a runaway beer truck. i ve never seen that question asked. do you think that we are a runaway beer truck? careening through the appalachians about to go into a death spiral. the question, are things completely out of control? we ll have to ask mike about that. so let s bring in the chief white house correspondent for politico, mike allen. mike, first of all, what s with your questions, man? it s very grim out there. of course, who does this hurt? does this hurt the democrats since the president s in power? does it hurt republicans since the republicans are running the senate?
wh who gains from this very dour mood? in the case of the nation, that s the president. so in senate races, this mostly benefits democrats. in states show, it s the governor who s driving the beer truck. a great example of where this could hurt a republican is in wisconsin. where governor scott walker s very dependent on the right track, wrong track feeling in his country. in his state. throughout this cycle, there s been this low-grade worry about the economy and jobs. what we re seeing here, regardless of how you word the question, is now a red hot worry on a number of fronts. this includes as you delve into the polls, and i think we have some of these specifics, to show our viewers. people are worried about their health insurance and whether or
not those prices are going up. they re very worried about the threat to the homeland the islamic state could pose. this is the most interesting one. you mentioned this at the top. presidential management. believe it or not, a tie between george w. bush and barack obama. about who s better off running the government. wow. all right. well, there you go, in terms of managing the federal government, you see the numbers there. wow. george w. bush saying more effective. barack obama under george w. bush. certainly something that no one in the white house would have thought six years ago. four years ago. two years ago. but there it is. another jump number that jumped out at me, 20%, only 20% think the country is on the right
track. mike allen, thank you. we had a debate on the show last week about that. it got kind of rough between steve rattner and nicole wallace over who s better at running the country. well, can we just say katrina versus ebola and there was not an argument here. can we just say that both presidents have been very challenged in their leadership abilities for different reasons? yes. i think it s interesting to see the republicans respond to ron klain being chosen as sort of the i guess it s not officially ebola czar but running the ebola fallout now in this country. they re lining up. we could play eight sound bites of people criticizing the decision at every turn. what did you think of that? look, i think it s obvious that people are like, why doesn t he have the medical experience? right now, it s about trying to get the different organizations to work in sync with each other. for me, it wasn t that he didn t have the medical background. i would have loved to seen somebody like colin powell. emergency response. military. somebody like alan mulaly in. with this, again, maybe ron will do a great job. but here again, you have somebody that barack obama knows, that barack obama s comfortable with, that s inside the cocoon, not going to challenge anything. i think a lot of americans, if you wanted to make americans feel more comfortable, he would have gotten somebody like a colin powell or somebody from industry that knew how to run things. i see it, although i also think what we said in the set is that a lot of it is the optics of what they re already doing that is being channeled appropriately. perhaps that s one of his great
strength, strategizing and also trying to make the different departments work together. i get it. it was just interesting to see them line up. the criticism. this is what we ve seen throughout this entire presidency. just potshots right and let. i don t thing it s the potshots everything he does. no, i don t think it s potshots to say barack obama has serious leadership challenges that look, you have the grimmest face. i guarantee you, i will be glad to take bets. historians are going to be writing and they re going to be lumping together george w. bush and barack obama as two people that don t we just had this conversation oh, my god a range of issues, but maybe as far as leadership, knowing how to effectively run the white house, effectively run washington, d.c., effectively
how to run we should have a surgeon general in place which i look forward, saying i look forward to reading that. i don t know who s going to write it. i d be happy to place that bet. still ahead on morning joe, oscar nominated actor danny aiello will join the table. why he s relieved he didn t win that academy award. politico has an interesting piece and the author will join us ahead. but first, bill karins with a check of the forecast. joe knew not to say anything during that last sentence. we re watching ana still leaving hawaii. it brought some rough surf but overall they were spared by this hurricane. some of the surf was pretty impressive out there. they enjoyed the high waves out there. it was on the south side of the
islands. we picked up five inches of rain in honolulu. that doesn t happen very often. that s exiting as we go through today. they ll be no more effects in hawaii. very chilly, coldest morning of the year so far in the northeast. one spot on the jersey shore down to 30 degrees. in a few spots, we did end the growing season. other areas, it s considering. we had three items to watch. one is a lot of rain in the northwest. that s good. we need it in oregon. it looks like a nor easter. you say nor easter, people go snow, snow. no, it s a cold rainy nor easter. some of that will be on the back side too. this is a little bit interesting, down in florida. a lot of heavy rain projected down there in cuba. maybe miami and the keys. that s where we could be dealing with tropical moisture. as far as the temperatures go during that nor easter in boston, upper 50s to low 60s.
not snow, just a cold drizzly rain that will take down a lot of those beautiful leaves at their peak in southern new england. the southeast is looking pretty good too. we leave you with a shot, the space needle in seattle. it s monday. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile. and with responsive, dedicated support,

hey, with us now, we ve got the founder of tina brown live media and the women of the world summit, tina brown. thank you for being with us, tina. and from washington, senior congressional reporter for politico, manu roju. he writes, obama s standing with women hurts senate democrats. reads, with two weeks until election it a, the president s diminished standing with women is quickly becoming one of the biggest liabilities facing democrats as they struggle to hang on to the senate majority. in battleground states across the country, obama is under water with female voters, especially women unaffiliated with the political party. and it s making it harder for democrats to take advantage of the gender gap according to public polling and democratic so this is really surprising for a lot of people, if you listen to the chattering classes on tv, if you read open edds, you hear about the republican s, quote, war on women. apparently everybody s paying
attention to the democratic talking point except women. what s going on here? it s not that the republicans are winning women voters, it s that they re not losing women voters as badly as they have been in the past election cycles. a lot of that has to do with the president s standing in the polls with these women voters. but why is the president losing numbers, losing support from women? it s his general disapproval of the way he s handling the office. it s the malaise that the voters feel about the direction of the country. you add up all the factors that are contributing to why the president is sagging with voters across the board, and that includes women, particularly unaffiliated women. in states even like colorado, where he s carried twice and which he carried with the majority of women voters. now he is about 60% disapproval of rating among women voters in colorado. and that s hurting mark udall, who s only beating corey gardner
by nine points among women voters but he s losing men by 17 points. in order to win on election day, mark udall really needs to drive up female voters. that s a problem when the president is is under water. look at this, in alaska, you actually have the democrat, beg gi beg begich, under water. very surprising here, look at that, in kentucky, allison grimes really in a dead heat with mitch mcconnell. what do you think is behind these numbers? especially withm manu saying they re losing women. i didn t know they had any. this year, far more disciplined. they have their rabbie shots. nobody s trying to redefine rape, that s a good move. they ve got themselves a little better disciplined. but, you know, the fact is that obama s down with everybody, let s face it, and i think that particularly for women, i don t think it makes them feel safe. i think they re feeling unsafe. they feel unsafe economically. they re feeling unsafe with regard to isis. what they feel unsafe about is the government response to different crisis. i think they re beginning to feel a bit that obama s like that guy in the corner office, you know, who s too cool for school, call, a meeting, says this has to change, doesn t put anything in place to make sure it does change, then it goes wrong and he s blaming everybody. at the same time, we ought to think about what republicans are doing for women. which is very little, you know. i mean, they were against well, this president they blocked the paycheck fairness act the fourth time since 2012. you know, they are really just not helping women at all.
this gap in the economy is terrible. the fact that women are losing their jobs even more than men because of this whole kind of part-time issue and the economy s terrible. so, you know, it s not good. you know, though, thomas, voters vote in their self-interest. again, you can look at specific pieces of legislation where the president, as mika s said for some time, has have it right on issues women should care about. but overall, there still is a big question mark over the president and the democratic party and his policies. well, i think janet jackson said it best, what have you done for me lately. the first thing the president did was sign the lily ledbetter act. and create the council on women and girls. i think women are looking forward, not looking in reverse. i think allison lunder son grimes is the candidate to watch would won t even admit she voted for the president because she
fears that would bag her when she goes out to the polls. she d rather have hillary come out and hold hands with her, which is amazing to think that s better for her as a candidate in kentucky than to have the president come out and be by his side. just a very robotic candidate. she doesn t know how to answer. she could have given a strong nonanswer and tell you i didn t vote for the guy. when it comes to women in line with women interests, this will be the first time kentucky sends a women senator to washington, d.c., interested in seeing what allison lunder son grimes could do. take mitch mcconnell out. someone who s been in washington for a very long time. although he brings home the bacon for kentucky, that s for sure. narrow definition we do have two more weeks. i want to follow up with the
questions tina brought up. whether women feel secure. 37 approve, 53 disapprove. isis, 35 approve, 51% disapprove. ebola, upside down, only by a couple of points. how much of this is that security question that tina was talking about? not just domestic security but international security and the whole kit and ka bootle. if you really push on abortion issues like abortion rights, paycheck fairness act, when women voters are concerned about their economic security or just the national security issues are ebola or isis. those social issues may not resonate as well with some voters that they need to turn out to the polls on election day. so i think you re seeing some of the limits on that in some key states like kentucky which you
just mentioned. tina, i thought it was very interesting, the denver post, certainly not a conservative newspaper, endorsed carrie gardner. said, we re not stupid and women are not stupid. all you re talking about is contraception as if you re talking about mark udall, as if your republican opponent wants to take away contraception. i wonder if democrats are just sort of playing by the old rule book? republicans hate women and voters are just a little more intelligence than that it s a more sophisticated public period. everyone understands these are wedge issues. the lack of jobs. these are the things women are caring about. i think everybody felt a slight sigh of relief when chuck hagel
announced there s a military task force to get into when ebola happens. this is the only one we trust, the military, because we don t trust government anymore. this reflects on obama. he can t portray himself as a person frustrated with government when he is government. thank you so much. tina s going to san antonio, by the way. yes, yes, we re doing women in the world texas on wednesday. fantastic amount of good stuff happening there. i love it. manu, thank you so much. we hope to see you again. tina, come back. coming up, it s an annual tradition in new hampshire but this year s pumpkin festival was frightening for all the wrong reasons. we ll tell you why the event erupted into mayhem and destruction. seemed like a good idea. actor danny aiello join s us. why he says he only knows who he is when he s someone else. yeah. we ll be right back. so right now if you get the 15 gig plan,

i love, you know, pumpkin, fall festivals, you just watch the trees and the leaves gently fall. like new hampshire is one of the best places for leaf peopling. i don t know why we re playing smashing pumpkins music in and out of this tease. confusing. state college in new hampshire i love keys. that s a great college. to take action against the students who took things way too far. what happened? the party is the annual tradition there. as nbc s ron mott reports, this year s event saw unprecedented mayhem and destruction. riot police fired pepper spray into unruly crowds of young people after violence erupted just off the key state college campus in new hampshire starting saturday afternoon and lingering well into predawn
hours. they just started walking on street with, like, mace, tear gas. authorities say both students and nonstudents from around the region drove the disturbances, raucous house parties that spilled on to city streets, overshallowing the annual pumpkin festival taking place ne nearby. the past four years have never been like this, it s never, ever been this chaotic. fires were set, vehicles damaged, campus lights toppled, bottles thrown, what officials describe as alcohol-fueled unrest that left dozens with minor injuries. at least 14 arrested. started a bonfire, using the fence to fuel the fire. they were actually jumping off a pickup truck parked in front and body surfing. finally, the riot police came. wow. the president that s crazy, man. says officials will identify who was involved and some students may be expelled. there s that one guy, you see, he goes hey, you know, they
came at us with pepper spray. dude, if you flip police cars, they re going to come at you with pepper spray. i mean, come on. let s go to business before the bell now. let s move on. with cnbc s brian sullivan. where do you want to start? a couple things here. the story that caught my eye this morning, good morning, by the way, according to numerous reports, fannie mae and freddie m mac, the companies that guarantee about 60% of all mortgages written, are working on rules that will ease lending requirements for banks. the criticisms is basically banks have gotten too strict in their lending. under new rules, again, they re not enforced, they re being discussed, it will reduce the amount needed for a downpayment back down to 3%. okay, so let me just ask, we re still bailing fannie and freddie out, not to be the cold-hearted s.o.b., but is this really what we want to talk about now? until we reform? i m sorry, this is what people were talking about back in 2004,
2005, 2006. barney frank called republicans racists because republicans on the banking committee said, well, we should probably make sure people could actually afford their mortgages before we give people mortgages. it is an interesting debate and discussion, joe. i think you re spot on, at least as far as debate points go. the criticism is banks and fannie and freddie were way too easy. now some say they re way too hard. this 3% thing i think catches eyes because many people agree, no matter what side of the aisle, you have to have a little skin in the game when you put money down on a house. just putting a downpayment down would make it more likely you re going to remain, make payments. it s out there. it s going to generate a lot debate. we re talking about it. on a different vein today, i know you re a big fan of apple. apple pay launches today. what does that mean? mobile payment service. use that little fingerprint button. and it s not in all stores. whole foods markets, mcdonald s.

crying. i did that for a long period of time. i found out the only freedom i had in life was to be able to play sports. i just involved myself in sports. so good in sports that when you were in your first film with de niro, you looked at him and said, he can t really throw the ball. threw like this. you like doing that. i would say he threw like a woman but today that was back then. we worked with him quite a bit. he was a catcher. we taught him. also he threw very funny. i said, why don t we try it this way. when i finally saw it, he had his elbow attached and still threw like that. a couple fascinate things. you had a part great actor. annie hall. you write in the book that you didn t realize your scenes were cut until you were in the movie theater. we were told by the producer of the movie that harvey

live from denver tuesday, october 7th. no promises on the raps though. that s it for special report, fair, balanced and unafraid from lake charles. greta goes on the record right now. we ll see new washington tomorrow. this is a fox news alert. isis a threatening attacks on subways an trains right here in the united states. the iraq prime minister tipping us off warning the terror threat might be imminent the most terrifying part of this warning is the attack has not been stopped. fox news chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge joins us. what s scary about this story is the details provided by the iraqi prime minister are extremely specific. he said he got information from baghdad that individuals had been arrested. they were members of isis. there was a plot to attack the subway systems in paris and also the united states. and that the operatives who are not iraqis, they were american and french nationals. once this hit the wires, what you saw here in washington was a pretty rapid response this information had not been passed to the u.s. government formal channels and they were unaware of this information. has everyone been arrested in this little group that had no idea? the iraqi prime minister, again, this is what has my attention is the the specificity. when people speak very generally, there is not always a lot of truth to it. but he is talking with a number of specifics. he says we have arrested individuals but they are part of a network. so we don t believe that the threat or the plot has been completely thwarted. why doesn t the united states know about this? sort of a. there are a couple sorry to just jump. in there are a couple of explanations. one that it s just bogus information, okay? it s bogus information and we re vulnerable to that right now. well, it s bogus information and because of that it was not passed through these proper or traditional government channels. number two is that there could have been what i would call sort of a ships passing in the night situation is which is the iraqi prime minister gets the information from baghdad. is he is at the u.n. he is surrounded by reporters. and there is not really a filter. he releases the information, and it hasn t had a chance to get into the government channels. but the bottom line is that episode underscores the fact that everyone understands isis, their ambition is to hit the united states, if they can and do it domestically. catherine, thank you. you re welcome. so, why haven t u.s. officials confirmed the isis terror plot to take place on u.s. soil? and what does iraqi intel know he that we don t? representative peter king is on the homeland security committee, he joins us. good evening, sir. hi, greta, how are you? very well. prior to today s announcement from the iraqi prime minister, had you heard anything about a plot to hit new york or paris subways? no, i didn t. and from talking to everyone that i know in the intelligence and law enforcement community today, it seems to be no evidence to substantiate what the prime minister has said. and i mean, there is nothing coming from iraqi intelligence, as far as i know, the fbi, homeland security, nypd, now this would have involved a subway attack in new york, remember, we have 140 government leaders in new york this week, including every major world leader has been here. and so obviously you would have thought that somebody would have contacted the nypd and baghdad would have made this known. right now it appears it s misinformation. obviously it s going to be examined and you can be sure that our people are in very close contact with the intelligence agencies in baghdad. i guess i would love to believe that and then i sort of think is this bogus? but then i think look our intelligence people didn t catch 9/11. they didn t catch the terror plot in times square until that happened. the underwear bomber, he was allowed to bomb a plane with buying a oneway ticket without any baggage. it s like on the one hand i don t want to be an alarmist, on the other hand, there is some really bad things that have slipped through the cracks with our intelligence service. oh, no, that can always happen. you don t know what you don t know. but, in this case if there were more to it, you would think that baghdad intelligence would have immediately told our intelligence agencies and they have their own prime minister in new york the city that could have been attacked. you would have thought again what should have happened is and in fact happens the 8999 out of 1,000 times. when a nation finds something like this or thinks they find something, even if it s a tip or hint, they elm my i can t tellly pass it immediately pass it on to the intelligence communities affected. what i can find out the cia, fbi, homeland security nobody was notified by baghdad of anything. in fact, their prime minister was in the city at a time when they felt, according to him that there could be an attack on new york. it doesn t add up. but, again, everything has to be checked out. all right. well i guess it would make a big difference to me i sort of guess as to whether this is real or not. frankly we are in a position where we have to guess, regrettably. does the u.s. get like a bunch of these scary alerts like five a day so that this is just one of many or is this unusual so that maybe, you know, give it more attention? no. we get quite a few. you get people who come to embassies around the world. some have been reliable in the past. some haven t. they will come in and say they think there is going to be an attack in such and such location. that happened several years ago before 9/11, the 10th anniversary of 9/11 we got information there was going to be attack on ground zero of 9/11 itself. it was all person alert in new york for those two days before and the day itself. and as it turned out it was either bogus or the plot was called back. but, again, we can t take anything for granted. every hint, every tip is tracked down. and in addition to that though. comes too late. certainly the christmas day bombing. the times square bombing. we should have certainly with the christmas day bombing we he should have known more. but, again, all annualized and is looked at and also for the prime minister to the last thing he should have done is mentioned it publicly before he had told the american government. you would think something as serious as this he wouldn t mention to a bunch of reporters on a street corner. that is curious indeed. thank you, sir. thank you, greta. very unnerving subway plot in the u.s. what could be done to prevent these attacks? next agent terrorism task force jonathan guilliams. thank you, sir. good to be here. says this is a specific attack on a subway in new york and paris. how do we find out whether this is the real deal and what do we do? well, contrary to what a lot of people would think actually have a specific threat will help the investigation because it gives us specific sources that we he can query. it let s us look at specific groups that the threat may be coming from. so, basically what you will see now is ramp up the sources that data base checks and we ll see overall the joint terrorism task force, the dod intel groups will see if they can find any chatter or sources that they may know about this. at the same time see state and local law enforcement really amp up if they need to their security at those specific sites. what i find troubling right now is i think we are particularly vulnerable to panic. we just had two americans beheaded. a tourist has been beheaded. an aide worker has been beheaded. there has been a woman in iraq. human rights activist who was just tortured and killed. we are pretty vulnerable and dropping bombs in syriaened a iraq. who do we know? i mean, how does law enforcement, you new york, i can te you get lots of chase everything down every second. what do we do? let s look at it in a way everybody can understand. bank robberies happen all the time in the united states. but you re not you don t see people panicked and running out of a bank because of fear. you have to be smart. you have to know that these things can happen. it s a gambling game. you know, the terrorists, they have the odds in their favor because no matter what defense we set up, they have the ability to wait, look at it, and go around it you know, it s similar to a bank, you have to it be aware when you go in there there is always potential but you have to go there. if you have to go to work and take the subway. beaware. i m sorry, go ahead, greta. you can be on a subway and 30 feet underground and between two stops and all of a sudden you think the person next to you has a package of c 4 plastic. you are really out of luck at that point. however say you are not out of luck like in spain when the bombs went off. you had individuals getting off. this is on video, they are riding the escalator. turn around and look. i hear a bomb go off i m running, unfortunately those people the next bomb went off and killed them. and, of course, it s not the old days where you need a big fighter plane or bomber who drop a bomb on something. one person can do an awful lot of damage. one person seeing it and notifying somebody be can always make or break that know it, nothing can beat an aware human at beating a terrorist attack. we all feel deposit pew advertised by 9/11 to speak up or i hope so if we see something peculiar. thank you, sir. thank you, greta. british counter terrorism officials announcing the arrest of nine suspects in ongoing investigation. grn reporter chris walker joins us right now. chris, what happened in the uk? well, an early whoop, 18 houses. one of our leading muslim fanatical preachers arrested. and strangely, in comparison with you, i mean, we have got the arrest but we haven t got the targets. nobody has been suggesting there is an immediate attack threatened on the london underground, though that has happened before. but these people have been absolutely outspoken in support of isis. really saying the most terrible things in public about how they are not going to defend our hostages still alive and how muslims should kill christians and such like this has been cleaning up operation. i think it s probably not circumstantial that s it s happened along with what s threatened in paris and washington there is bound to be blow back. next 48 hours it looks like. i suspect we will be getting our threats too. chris, we only have 30 seconds left. i m curious why does the uk seem to be such a breeding ground for a lot of these terrorists? very good question. the answer is i think we have got very little control over the mosques. there is the language, of course. and in fact, we have got huge numbers of them who live here. and seem to be very, very unrestricted in their movements. there is a growing feeling about this. how is this happening? we have heard three killed by us air strikes in iraq and syria this week. that s three brits. that s a huge percentage. chris thank you. breaking now, barbaric masked man speaking english with british accent and blaming the united states and england in the video showing beheadings of a two americans and. they will not reveal the executioner s name. the u.s. and allies still pounding isis, launching at least 200 air strikes targeting isis in syria and iraq. the troubling question, is this enough? baghdad is still relatively secure. i mean, there has been a couple of minor ied attacks inside baghdad, but the isf, the iraqi security forces in and around the capitol are still defending the capitol. it s not like isil has not posed a threat there. oliver north good to see you. good to be with you. i m concerned with us and isis and whether it is spreading. i think catherine s comment about how we came to know this threat about washington new york and paris transportation infrastructure is always going to be a prime target visuals are compelling. they are savvy knowing how to use that to their advantage. if you are riding in beltway. silver lining goes out. goes over the beltway and if you think about somebody getting something like two brothers, assembled in boston before a marathon and carried that on to a subway leaving town. you would have a visual that would be very, very effective as a recruiting tool for the most radical jihadists on this planet. here is the problem with what we are doing. we are giving them a safe haven of 15 to 16 hours a day because we re only bombing at night. now, the idea, of course, is to take out targets of opportunity. what we really need to have is 24/7 coverage up over top of syria. if we are going disrupt and disable and eventually destroy isis, you can t just do it with nighttime strikes. then why aren t we doing 24. i m hoping somebody will ask admiral cure buy that because he is after all an admiral. why we don t have a second strike group out in the mediterranean and the persian gulf. you cannot maintain a sustained air operation. the talk missiles being launched on the screen. you can t do it without more ships. we re also told you can t do it without boots on the ground. i m not advocating that if you are saying we don t have a 24/7 air power and even if we did that wouldn t do the job? no. ultimately, someone, rough men with rifles have to go to take terrain, capture bad guys and free hostages. cannot do it with airplane. unfortunately, we have got a mystical belief in the power of aircraft dropping bombs precision guided munitions. i mean, look at those visuals that we are getting out of the pentagon. i mean, goes right down and takes out the antenna. building kind of stuff. the bottom line of it is if we are going to take the fight to disrupt them before we destroy them, somehow with 5,000 people trained in 10 to 12 months in saudi arabia. will now have to go back into the fight against not only isis but also against al assad. i don t see how this works. i mean, i had it described to me yesterday by a former marine general as there is not a snow ball s chance in hell of this succeeding the way it s being fought. that s encouraging, i say very sarcastically. sorry. thank you. nice to he see you. and developing now, those barbaric islamic exextreme i.s, strike again. not a journalist, an aide worker or a tourists. isis in mosul, iraq, kidnapping, tortures and publicly executing a female iraqi human rights lawyer. her name is samira. executed the wife and mother after ruling she had abandoned islam. and marine sergeant andrew tahmooressi still stuck in a mexican prison for accidently turning into mexico with guns in his truck, now two other marines have a plan to get president obama s help, pretty unusual but did their plan work?

well, first of all, forget the numbers. stop looking at them. the president. maybe he isn t looking at them. that was just, you know, my. yeah. well, if he is, and i m confident he is this president polls too much. pays too much attention to the polls. stop looking. is he a war time leader. whether he likes it or not. his numbers are bad because, and they are not recently bad, the last time his favorability outnourished unfankt was essentially 53 weeks ago. and the president has been upside down since then. when putin moved in to crimea and then began messing with ukraine. when isis spread across northwestern iraq. president obama began to have real deep problems with how people viewed his ability to handle foreign affairs, terrorism and whether or not he was a strong leader. so, excuse me. his problem is that people are looking at his policies and saying they don t work and he is not a strong leader. work on getting the right policy and be a strong, effective leader and the poll also take care of them. it s been a long time coming it will be a long time getting out. tell me if i m right or wrong on this. when there is a foreign policy crisis, the party in power does a little bit better. i mean, that s a terrible thing to say. a crisis and foreign policy and americans sort of rally behind the leader. yeah, there is temporarily and i suspect the president is going to see a little bit of upward movement at some point but probably not a lot and maybe not at all for the following reasons. people don t think that he is a strong leader. he has got this great irony that about 60% of the people support bombing syria. 70% of the people support bombing isis in iraq. 60 o% think the president is not stroong leader and 38% approval rating on handling foreign affairs and a 41% approval rating on handling terrorism. there is a gap between they sort of like the policy but they are not certain it s going to succeed. but they think he is weak and feckless and not a strong leader and those things are going to take a long time to change because they have been basically six years in the making. what is your thought on attorney general eric holder announcing that he will be resigning as soon as the president finds a replacement? i think it s good for the country, good for the justice department. attorney general holder has been a partisan hack. he has not been the independent attorney general that we are or somewhat independent attorney general that we expect. from the moment that he came into the office, until the moment he finally departs. he has done very little except things that advocate advance the political agenda of the administration. and pit american against american. i cannot believe that one the first things he did when he came into office was to dismiss the lawsuit against the black panther party which was caught on video brandishing clubs and threatening voters outside of philadelphia voter places and one of the first things he did was dismiss the lawsuit against them for interfering with an election. that set the tone it and we have only seen it continued for the last six years. you know, thank you for your service, mr. attorney general but frankly good riddance. karl, thank you for joining us. you bet. thank you. and as noted, attorney general eric holder stepping down from his post and al sharpton saying on his web site that he, al sharpton has engaged in media conversations with the white house on deliberation over holder s replacement. really? al sharpton advising the white house on the next attorney general? that s coming up. but next ambassador john bolton right here on the record. your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement?

he thinks people are suffering from iran-o-owe phobia since building nuclear weapons. i thought his strategy today was quite remarkable. aimed at what he sees as the weakness in the white house. because he said at the same time he was eager to do a deal over iran s nuclear program that they would never give up uranium enrichment and that he wanted more concessions on the pressure having been put on iran over sanctions and other restrictions. so, i think he sees that the white house is so desperate for a deal on the nuclear front that they will make these other concessions. i very much fear he is right. i listened to the speech and read the transcript mr. nice guy and iran nice place and how everybody else is so violent and awful and, of course, meanwhile they have got a christian pastor, an american sitting in prison because he won t convert to islam. it was such a contrast reality all his right rhetoric play to domestic audience. europe and the united states. much of his comment outside of the nuclear program was blaming outsiders westerners and u.s. in particular for being part of the cause for islamic extremism. he said basically it dealing with isis was not something that outsiders could do. and that indeed it was our actions initially that had given rise to isis. so i think it was a very well done propaganda job. well with, israel paid a lot of attention to this phrase. and the whole world would be. we are committed to continuing our peaceful nuclear program including enrichment and enjoy our full iranian rights and soil within the framework of international law. there is no way in hell that they have any intention of banning their program working on a deal with us. they haven t had intention of doing that for 30 years. obama administration, i have to say last couple years of the bush administration in their efforts to cut a deal with iran over the nuclear program have have been pursuing a fool s errand. it s given iran both time to overcome the difficult technological obstacles between them and deliverable nuclear weapons and given iran legitimacy. what rouhani was really searching for today was additional paths to legitimacy. we have seen british prime minister, david cammeron meeting with rouhani in new york. a big mistake. we have seen the secretary of state john kerry desperately looking for some way to bring them into the anti-isis fight and we have seen the president as over the past couple of years looking for that photo opportunity he could have have with rouhani. i think he knows his mark and he is playing it. i m anxious to hear what prime minister netanyahu has to say when it s his turn it. anyway, ambassador, thank you, sir. thank you. from fast and furious to ferguson to accusing the president s critics of racial animus. attorney general eric holder is no stranger to controversy. well, you now he is stepping down after a rocky tenure as america s top law enforcement official. we will make the department of justice into what it was and into what it always must be. eric holder sworn in as attorney general and making promise six years ago. the nation is potentially at hand. days after taking office holder shocked the country. in things racial we have always been and we, i believe continue to be in too many ways essentially a nation of cowards. it doesn t stop there. may, 2009, holder drops charges against three black panthers accused of intimidating voters on election day. november of 2009. holder announces plans to try khalid sheikh mohammed the mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks and co-spirits in new york city. they will be brought to new york, to new york to answer for their alleged crimes in a courthouse just blocks away from where the twin towers once stood. july 2010, holder s justice department sues arizona over its immigration law, the goal: to stop police from checking immigration status at traffic stops. and who could forget this? june 2012. the house of representatives holding the attorney general in contempt amid the fast and furious gun running scandal. we re only asking the attorney general to turn over documents directly related to false statements made to ghong a coverup. accusations that attorney general holder brushed aside. truly absurd. truly absurd conspiracy theories. may 2013, the justice department caught with phone records from the associated press and days later, fox news james rosen named as a co-conspirator in a leak investigation and just weeks ago, the attorney general calling himself an activist saying is he proud of it and then, sparking outrage one more time with these remarks about his critics. there is a certain racial component to this for some people. i don t think this is the thing a main driver but for some there is a racial anus. and now reverend al sharpton claiming is he advising the white house on the a.g. holder s replacement. is there any truth to that joining us weekly panel john mccormick and the washington post jackie kucinich and byron york. that s what he he puts first, byron, on his web site today national action network he was engaged in conversations with the white house about the successor. then he backed down. hope that s not true. i think a lot of people probably hope that s not true. i think that is the case that eric holder who is an historic attorney general, first black attorney general will go down as the civil rights attorney general from. over bobby kennedy? yes, i think so. from the very beginning. i don t think so. a picture of him hung in his office. from the very beginning with the nation of cowards remark. all the way to ferguson at the end. this has been something that the attorney general focused on the civil rights division. some of his most memorable actions were in that area. including not enforcing the law. remember, he chose not to enforce the defense of marriage act. he took arizona as you mentioned in the piece to court to stop the enforcement of the immigration law. so he was somebody with an an agenda and when that involved not forcing the law he didn t do it? i don t think he will go down in history as the civil rights attorney general. i think that goes to bobby kennedy. i debelabor that which the justice department is named after. your thought on holder. one of the things you mentioned bobby kennedy he called ethel kennedy bobby kennedy s widow to tell her he was stepping down that was one of the people. obviously he was very much following bobby kennedy s legacy and i think among certain people i agree with byron go with sentencing reform what did he to calm down ferguson, missouri when he went there. of course, there is the other side of this. a lot of the things you mentioned. what about, john, is al sharpton, could he truly be involved in part of this discussion of who the next attorney general is? i have no idea. but the big he thinks he is apparently. the big criticism of eric holder is that he was one of the most politicized and partisan attorney generals in history. there are a lot of scandals out there and controversies. i think the very worst from a legal standpoint was his decision not to vigorously defend the defense of marriage act which was a law signed into law by the president. the job of the attorney general isn t to be a judge. it s to be the advocate. he failed at that in 2009. the defense didn t really give a vigorous defense and again in 2011. independent at all. as attorney general you are not supposed to defend the laws that you like or the laws that your donors like. you are supposed to defend the law. he didn t do that that s a terrible precedent going forward. we should throw the irs in there too. just last week lois lerner gave a long interview to politico. i believe she would not have felt comfortable doing that had she not been pretty sure that the justice department was not really on her tail. and the justice department ended that investigation apparently gone absolutely nowhere even as congress has found out all sorts of damaging revelations about it. all right. well already we got a statement from the attorney general the state of california she says she is honored to even be mentioned. apparently her name was out there. basically she says she wants to stay in california. i don t know why we got a statement from her. i m going to issue my statement next. anyway, thank you all. let s all go off-the-record for main. this is really messed up. i had no idea about this until yesterday, that the white house, not the press, but the white house distributes the white house print pool reports. here is how it works. each day, the print pool reporters follow the president around and write reports to the entire media before the entire media gets those reports, the white house reviews them and it is the white house that sends the reports out to everyone in the media now, i had no idea. i thought the pool sent the pool reports directly to everyone in the media but why is the white house seeing or reviewing the reports first? that s a little bit like sending the fox out to guard the chicken coop. i learned even more. on occasion, it could be rare, the white house doesn t like some of the condition tent in the pool reports. the white house pressures the print pool to change them. and in some instances, the pool has. that s really bad. that is so messed up. so much for freedom of the press, right? and besides the review, why is the white house in the business of distributing pool reports? it can t be costs? media organizations are so rich they can pay for it themselves. it sure can t be white house technical know how. remember healthcare.gov? i don t know but. i think this is really messed up we wonder why no one trusts the media? that s my off-the-record comment tonight. and an american pastor beaten and in prison in iran just for being a christian. locked away for 700 days now. the pastor s wife and reverend franklin graham are here now with a plan to get him out. this is holly. her long day of outdoor adventure starts with knee pain. and a choice. take 6 tylenol in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. onward! before using her new bank of america credit card, which rewards her for responsibly managing her card balance. before receiving $25 toward her balance each quarter for making more than her minimum payment on time each month. tracy got the bankamericard better balance rewards credit card, which fits nicely with everything else in life she has to balance. that s the benefit of responsibility. apply online or visit a bank of america near you.

he couldn t sit through the whole 20 minute visitation, which is rare. last time they saw him last week and he had to walk out halfway, about 10 minutes into it because of internal pain he h he still has some kind of wound or you ulcer that keeps opening up and injuries that have happened mainly because ever first few months of beatings because the first few months of interrogation that he was told if he denies christ, and returns to islam, he would be he freed. reverend franklin graham, he is just a christian. i mean, that s the whole reason he is sitting in prison for years. what do you want to do? what do you hope to accomplish? he is in prison because he believes that jesus christ is god s son and that jesus died for our sins upon the cross and was buried for our sins and that god raised him to life and because he believes this, he has been beaten, he has been tortured, imprisoned for two years. and he is an american citizen. he is born in iran but he is an american. and they are torturing him and beating him and trying to get him to recant his faith in christ. and i m wanting to help, greta, to draw attention to this. i m so grateful that you have allowed us to come on your program today to talk about it. yesterday, president obama was before the u.n. general assembly and he had praise for, i guess, what he would call moderate muslims. and he then he spoke about extremism as well. what s your thought about whether or not president obama can help in a situation, whether he is helping? no question he can help. he is the president of the united states. and he does have great power and great influence. right now, america is trying to get iranian support for their fight against isis. we need, bto talk to the iranians about support for isis. we need to say hey, we want all the americans to come home. sid abedino is one of several being held there the president can do it and we just, i think, the white house responds to pressure. if there is enough people who pick up the phone and call, if enough constituents pick up the phone and call, send emails, it will get the attention of the white house. otherwise, they don t seem to be bother him. it s been two years though. tomorrow marks the two year date when her husband was picked up by the iranians. again, greta, it s for his faith. no other reason. the president has said that islam was a religion of peace. he said that yesterday in his statement before the general assembly. if it truly is a religion of peace, then why are they holding a man and beating him and torturing him because of his faith in jesus christ? if islam really is a religion of peace i call on the iranian president to let him come home to his wife, to his children and quit torturing him. quit beating him and traying to get him to renounce his lord and savior, jesus christ. and you nod your head yes. i agree. it s been two years. to some it s been over 700 days for a family seeing my kids cry every night. reverend graham has been a father figure for the kids and i, a great support. i can t say enough of his support. but it s time to get him home. two years a long enough. we are talking to the iranians. they are condemning isis for beheading christians but they are holding someone, an american citizen in their prison simply for being christian. it s time to bring him home. well, reverend graham, good luck and i hope that, you know, two years is way too long. two years is too long but right now it s like i don t, you know, i wish we could do something more for him. thank you, greta. thank you. and tonight, major developments in the case of missing uva opportunity hannah graham. our team son the ground. a live update is next. introducig a pm pain reliever that dares to work all the way until the am. new aleve pm the only one with a safe sleep aid. plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. last person seen uva student charged and in custody. jesse matthews in bars after being arrested in texas. who is jesse matthew?

he was involved, right, with the covenant high school team. it s a christian private school. has a pretty good football team. a number of people on the coaching staff. my understanding is he was a volunteer assistant coach. what do you want to have answered the most. the biggest thing everybody wants to know is where is hannah graham. of course we all would do anything to make this case come to a happy ending and find her and have some miracle, you know, happen where she is okay and family gets her back and university and friends get her back. that is obviously what we would all like. a resolution to what happened regardless i think is also important so that people can move forward. but the horrible question remains where is hannah? on the record ted williams is live with the latest in charlottesville. what is the latest in the search for hannah graham? as you know they all have jesse matthews found 1300 miles away from here. he has waived extradition. on his way back here. maybe will help out in this investigation. of course us a you know, greta, he has already lawyered up. ted, the chief of police mentioned in news in the car indicate whether she was in the car or whether she might have been hurt in the car? no. greta, that was asked of the chief of police and tim longo, who is a superb chief of police is keeping a lot of information rightfully so close to his vest. but he is doing all he can to put out information. there is now a$100,000 reward for anyone who can help bring hannah home. and in terms of the search still searching the whole area or abandoned search? absolutely not. they are searching everywhere they can. buildings, streams, water ways. is he asked the various farmers to walk their land and see if, in fact, they can find hannah graham or if she is there on their land. it s a blanket search, greta. ted, thank you. and coming up, two marines are doing what they can to make sure fellow marine sergeant andrew tahmooressi is not left behind in a mexican prison. find out what the two marines did. that s next. don t forget to watch hannity tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern. democratic congressman adam smith debates two benghazi smith debates two benghazi security team members., hannity. e starts to relieve my pain in 30 minutes. plus, sensitivity to light and sound, even nausea. excedrin migraine works. know that chasing performance and fewer choices in retirement. know that proper allocation could help increase returns so you can enjoy that second home sooner. know the right financial planning can help you save for college and retirement. know where you stand with pnc total insight. a new investing and banking experience with personalized guidance and online tools. visit a branch, call or go online today. want to change the world?

wbr id= wbr0 /> we are doing our entire living room in stainless steel. very good. good morning, everybody. tuesday, october 7th. look at that times square. it s buzzing or still is. with us on set, we have associate professor from columbia school of university, along with willie, joe and me. /b> wbr-id= wbr600 /> yeah. what s up? we need to talk about what we ll wear, before we wear it. this is like just get it out of the way. a holiday party. i ve got to change. it s still october. what s going on? halloween i don t like this. this is not going to work. this is not going to work. i m sorry. can you do i m going to change. hold on. i ll be right back. you read the news. i ll be right back. no, please don t change. i like that sweater. it doesn t look like it will walk away. it doesn t look dirty. i m going to get another garanimals going on. that s the first time he actually wore a different sweater. all right. well, okay. he s gone. let s do the news, shall we? willie, dorian? i can t believe it. i like the holiday look. i thought he looked good. you know? just trying to mix it up a little bit. okay. if you believe the latest polling, allison lunder gram grimes has a real chance at unseating the top republican in the senate. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads senator mitch mcconnell 46 to 44%. a month ago, mcconnell was up by eight points in the nbc news maris poll. that s not the only race by the way where democrats are showing strength. so we re seeing this in a couple of other key places. north carolina, kay hagen, has a four-point lead on tom tillis. still pretty close, but still leading him. the race in kansas already starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts. he s down by 10% to independent greg orman. in colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge on cory gardiner. that s close to a tossup. gardiner was leading by as much as eight points. and jeanne shaheen is now leading over scott brown by seven. and in iowa where joannie ernst was leading by six, she is tied with democratic bruce braley. i don t know. you think the president is such a hindrance as sort of the narrative has been, dorian. yet, we are seeing something, potentially happening here. if you believe these polls. right, you know, we haven t seen the clintons in action yet, by the way. well, we re going to talk about them. good point. so that ll make a difference. but this it s hard to disentangle is this an anti-incumbency wave or potential wave or is this something that the democrats are doing in terms of their campaign strategy that republicans aren t? grimes, that s particularly remarkable. it started to slip away and then you saw mcconnell get some distance. so she s closed that gap now with a month left to go. as you say, that whole campaign for mitch mcconnell has been about pairing her with president obama. yeah. now, here she is tied. i find that to be extremely interesting to watch. in alaska, mark begich has been losing ground. and tom cotton has a slight edge. and louisiana senator mary landrieu is down by six points to republican bill cassidy. there we re seeing a fight there for senator landrieu s life. the comeback kid though, as you mentioned is looking to help democrats in his home state. former president bill clinton returned to arkansas to headline rallies for democratic senator mark pryor. and gubernatorial campaign mark ross his former driver. he urged them to reject the republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. thank you. you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of these races they re saying you may like these guys, but you know what you have to do. you have to vote against the president. i promise your last shot. it s a pretty good scam, isn t it? i may wander and groan, but i may never be far from home. you re in my heart and you ll always be arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don t vote for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. vote for the legacy and you ll be happy a month from now. thank you and god bless you. boy, he s something isn t he? willie geist yes you are. could he be any happier? getting to please don t do the face scratching. don t do it. and how about mitch mcconnell, huh? he s down. yes. i mentioned that at the top of the show when you walked away. [ laughter ] that was great. we were chatting about that. i was excited about your reaction and you left. you just left. i m going to do that. let me try that. me too. why? i thought we looked good. because i didn t want to hear andy williams holiday song in my ear. we were talking before the show as we were coordinating our sweaters yeah. if you look what s happening with mcconnell and we were out asking what were the polls going to look like after the beheadings? after barack obama went out golfing. after the beheading. specifically. and now we re starting to see, like a big turn around in kentucky. you look in north carolina, big turn around, republicans were sure a month ago this is a wave election. it may still be a wave election. you just don t see the evidence of it out there. in fact, democrats are doing so much better now than they should be doing. and republicans now are going to lose kansas? what do you make of kentucky though? i don t see it as sort of related to isis. do you? i mean, is that what s happening here? well, this is all democrats were hurt a month ago by barack obama s seeming obliviousness to what was going on with isis and the jv comments and the golfing after. but i think you re starting to see the races go back to sort of their set point. and the set point is, let s just say it, a lot of kentucky people can t relate to mitch mcconnell. they may not agree with grimes on a lot of issues. she and other candidates have run a smart campaign, distancing themselves from the president, right? so as the president as the former president bill clinton said in arkansas yesterday this is not a vote for barack obama. this is a vote for mark pryor or lundergren grimes. this should have republicans worried for 2016, by the way. because they have a lot more seats to defend in 2016. on clinton s comments, they were interesting too. as dorian points out, he said this is two more years of president obama. don t worry, it s only two more years, but these guys are applying for six-year jobs. right. don t make this about president obama. maybe if you want to read a few things into that, there could be somebody else he s very, very good. if you talked to any republican strategist six months ago, a year ago, listen, a month before the election to an independent candidate. and there won t be a democrat in the race, you re losing north carolina, you re going to in some polls you re going to be losing louisiana. arkansas is going to be split down the middle. i can tell you as a republican we re screwed. iowa is tied. iowa is tied. by the way, i m sorry, the democrat out in iowa is a clown. i mean, democrats say quietly that guy is a clown. he s ill-fit for candidacy. he goes to texas trial lawyers, hey, the last thing we want is somebody from iowa dumb farm base is what he s saying running committees. joannie ernst against the candidate? clearly, iowa voters are thinking something else now. i don t know. i think if you look at the trend, it s all decidedly against the republicans right now. there are exceptions but go to scott walker, a guy i like very much. who was, you know, the great hope for a lot of conservatives like myself, he may not even win this year. well, he s being investigated for corruption scandal. go a state over to michigan, one tough nerd. you know, the governor of michigan. a year ago, everything looked great. now, he s on the run. this is and here s the thing. this is what republicans need to understand. i have been saying you have to stand for something. you just can t be against president obama and if the republicans can t win, and reince priebus will say this, if the republicans can t win in 2014 when everything is breaking their way, when they are fighting on in red states, then in 16 all the senate fights will be in blue states, plus the presidential race is going to be especially ugly. yeah. let me get one other headline in here. officials are confirming the first case of ebola to be contracted outside of west africa. a nurse in spain is in stable condition at a hospital this morning after testing positive for the deadly virus. officials say she cared for two spanish priests who both died from ebola. meanwhile, the parents of freelance nbc cameraman ashoka mukpo said he s in good spirits after arriving in omaha for treatment. meanwhile, dr. nancy snyderman and her team arrived in the united states last night on a charter flight and were checked by a health official upon arrival. all are feeling well, in good health. they re deemed low risk, but will be staying home and monitoring their temperature for the remainder of the 21-day period recommended by health authorities. and in dallas, the man being treated for the ebola virus remains in critical condition. we have learned thomas eric duncan is being given an experimental drug that was approved by the fda. president obama says his administration is working on increased screening for ebola at airports here in the u.s. and overseas. it comes as a new pew research poll finds nearly 60% of americans have either a great or fair amount of confidence the government could prevent an ebola outbreak in the united states. but there s a sharp divide among parties. 69% of democrats share that confidence. while 51% of republicans have little or no confidence in the u.s. government in terms of how it could stop an outbreak. i think screening is going to be difficult. i don t know how they ll do it, because it s not just about cutting off flights if they go a step further. flights coming in from all sorts of different countries and flights going back. willie, what do you make of the poll, the republicans they don t trust it looks like it s about president obama. it s just a blind referendum. it s kind of strange that that that became a political question. i think it s a lot of things. obamacare, irs. a lot of things that have kind of made us think i agree. i think democrats feel the same way about government. if you asked them how is george w. bush handling the outbreak you d see that flip. this is political. it s strange. about ebola? and i guess at the local level versus the federal level especially since president obama s been in office. so that s not unusual. it s just the broad trends. but it is strange around ebola. it s not an explicitly political question. and the bigger question of whether people are losing faith in institutions we talked about for some time. anyway, we have a big show today. did you see chris matthews is dropping by to say hello? i can t wait. i can t wait. you two be nice now. all right. still ahead this hour, why you may look like a member of the courts militia if you stop at h&m if you shop at h&m. have you ever shopped there? i was there yesterday for the sweater. the kids love it. i can t believe you changed in the middle of the show. and plus an update, the bubble man. he is safe on land. but what about the bubble? you re watching morning joe. we ll be right back. what s wrong with that? it s ok that your soup tastes like my homemade. it s our slow simmered vegetables and tender white meat chicken. apology accepted. i m watching you soup people. make it progresso or make it yourself [ male announcer ] when you see everyone in america almost every day, you notice a few things. like the fact that you re pretty attached to these. ok, really attached. and that s alright. because we ll text you when your package is on the way. we re even expanding sunday package delivery. yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is.was. and always will be.you. holy cow. like a cashew? okay. wow. first time i heard that expression. well, so we have we re reading stories from local no, time to look at the morning papers that you care about. the los angeles times, pope francis has called a meeting of 200 cardinals and bishops in rome to consider controversial issues for the church. including divorce, contraception and sexuality. no topic is off limits and the holy father has encouraged attendees to speak openly and freely. they ll discuss the survey of catholics worldwide which many feel that the church is out of touch with their needs. new york times t waldorf astoria hotel will be sold to a chinese insurance company of course it will. for nearly $2 billion. one of the highest prices paid in a hotel sale. the landmark hotel which has hosted social gatherings will undergo a big renovation. the company plans to return the 47-story building to the original art deco style. h&m has come under fire for a khaki jumpsuit which many say resembles the uniforms worn by the female kurdish militia. i think it s fetching. what the heck is this story? so far reaction would you wear that? i kind of like that, mika. i don t think i could pull it off. but if you could, would you wear that? sure. the one on the right, with the gun and the hat. i could do that. the reaction has been mixed with some saying it celebrates the females who are currently fighting the islamic state in syria, but others say it is insensitive. what? h&m spokesman i know the designer was not thinking kurdish militia. come on. move it on. i m not reading it, it s stupid. that s stupid. anyone who would argue with that has no life. and i read the delaware news journal every morning. then you already read this story. the police have arrested the mother of a 4-year-old after the kid showed up to her day care with a backpack full of heroin. what? not good. the little girl was caught handing oh, my gosh. handing out packages of drugs. no! to her classmates, thinking it was candy. the mother has been charged with endangering the health what? heroin? what do you send them to school with? coke. diet coke. he loves it. he gets him buzzing around. mm-hmm. little jack. don t say that. not right. just joking. just joking. the telegraph stop it, willie. this is important. i don t know what that means. michael bloomberg was given an honorary knighthood by the queen of england. the british embassy said he was granted the honor due to his entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavors. don t call him sir mike. bloomberg will not use the word sir because he s not a british citizen. thank you for clarifying that, mika. okay. go to new orleans. a collision between a train and a big rig has left two rail workers injured. thank think no one was injured. a truck was stuck on the track and here it comes. oh, no, not good. the train cut the trailer in half. the driver of the truck escaped unharmed. i with wish we could show that in slow motion. the train s conductor and engineer suffered minor injuries. residents have been evacuated due to concerns over a gas spill. my goodness. incredible. all right. coming up next, voters are still hungry for gun laws despite it getting little to no interest on the campaign trail. and joe biden defended by the editorial board that s standing up for the vice president ahead. don t go away. we may have another outfit change. no, no fashion changes. nothing. we ll be right back. stop!

[ cheers and applause ] i that s just not funny, actually. yeah. i watched the first two, funny. but when it kept going? that is just tremendous. whoa! scary. okay. so let s do the must reads. we have a bunch to get to here. the wall street journal, joe biden s apology tour. and this is what the paper says. mocking joe biden is a national sport, but today we come to defend him. the vice president spent the weekend apologizing to middle eastern strongman for his comments about syria, but he s apologizing to the wrong people for the wrong reason. they did arm extremists in syria. if mr. biden is feeling contrite he ought to apologize to the syrian and the american people. for three years the obama administration sat on its hands in syria as the moderate army was marginalized on the battlefield, isis and others moved in. dorian, what s your take, is that true? this is the 111th apology tour he s gone on. that s his trademark, speaking honestly in a field that it s hard to do that. sure. in terms of the actual apology, i don t think he needs to do that. but the editorial is interesting because there s an issue to be raising, what s our relationship with the previous ally in terms of the rebel forces in syria? and why? i understand he has to be diplomatic, but why apologize to turkey? turkey should be apologizing to us. turkey, if they continue to act this way should be kicked out of nato. turkey should be called out for what they are. well, when is the president in turkey going to apologize to the united states for having isis on his doorstep? and he s quite close to having to call nato 911 to rescue the turkish border. that s right. all right, let me get two more on this while we re on it. this is i ll go to the wall street journal again actually because senators john mccain and lindsey graham penned a piece. remove assad. how can we arm and train 5,000 syrians and expect them to succeed against islamic state without protecting them and their families? from the assad s air strikes and bombs or expect moderate groups to take advantage of u.s. air strikes if we do not coordinate or communicate our operations with them? this is reportedly not happening. instead, mr. assad is exploiting u.s. air strikes to kill the very people we want as our partners. this is not just a recipe for failure. it is immoral. willie, okay, how do we do it? how do we invade syria and take out assad? how do we how do we do that? well, we have swung in a year from saying we wanted to get rid of assad to now kind of supporting people who are helping assad. we are fighting the people he s fighting inside the country. what void is created? i don t think people are talking about this, how is the assad regime responding to what? we have gone into his air space and launched military strikes in here. what s his reaction, is there any coordination, what s going on between us and him? so we have this right now, it s right. he s like, go ahead. again, for lindsey and senator mccain, i would ask, we go in, let s say we take him out. what does syria look like in a decade? i d like them to answer the question. i m sure maybe one of them will. like to answer the question. would the middle east be safer today with saddam hussein in power or out of power? at what point do we start judging characters in the middle east by one very simple question. do they want to kill people in the united states of america or do they want to be left alone in their open countries? it s that simple. saddam hussein did not have plans to blow up america. no. al qaeda did. isis does. saddam was never coming here. yeah, i know there s talk about a possible, you know, possible assassination attempt against 41. you can ask the same question though about as horrible of a human being as he is, does assad want to blow up buildings in washington and new york? i mean, and if he doesn t, who is going to replace him? possibili possibly these are questions that we don t answer before firing. i want to read part of the new york times editorial on ebola because it points to one of the reasons why it s so complicated to just sort of deny access and sort of siphon off an area of the world. they write in part this, top health officials are strongly opposed with good reason to take the more extreme step of banning all travel to the united states from guinea, liberia and sierra leone where the epidemic is concentrated as several prominent republicans like louisiana s governor bobby jindal have recommended. that could actually hamper the battle to contain the epidemic abroad. the first line of defense against the disease in part by leaving americans who are risking their lives to contain the epidemic stranded in africa, with no way to return home. if volunteer workers can t return home, they may elect not to go in the first place. that s weakening the fight against the epidemic. that s a silly argument. i don t think it is. that s a silly argument. you do not want to it to explode there. that s silly. why? because you go, do you have an american passport? thank you. this is a false choice. to say, well, we can t ban people coming from west africa. that aren t aid workers here. i m not recommending we do it. i am saying we need to ask the question. and that this is this is why there s not a real discussion on this, because dorian this is a false choice to say somehow we aren t advanced enough to see who has an american passport and we allow them to come back, versus somebody like the gentleman that came back to dallas? all right. but i m going to defend that editorial, joe, because the premise is that the there s an incentive. there s a signal that i would send to potential people that would go over. your plan sounds just fine to me. yes, maybe we could carve it out so that only american aid workers could get back in. but to a lot of people they just hear we re banning all people coming from west africa. that creates an incentive for people not to want to do good and go over and help. i think the aid workers, all the aid agencies, would be sending people over there, mike, would again, they would know if they were able to come back. but there s a larger issue here and it gets into what we were talking about earlier. it gets into turkey and syria and saudi arabia and qatar. it s us. the world needs looks to us, to the united states for everything. where are the other countries? every country in the world can be affected by the ebola virus. that s true. you can carry it ships. you can it can leave by sea. it can leave by air. now, if you re in liberia and you have even a scintilla of evidence that you or a member of your family have the ebola virus, where are you going to go? you re not going to want to stay in liberia. you ll want to go to the united states. you ll want to come to the united states of america. so the larger universe depends on us for so many things that we should start using our influence and say to other countries, come on, come on. and the international response has been so slow and so yes. just the world health organization it has been absolutely scandalous. i just this op-ed you re talking about, in the new york times i m not saying put a wall up and don t let anybody come over from west africa. i just want a better argument. that s not a strong argument at all. you can allow aid workers to go over and to come back. and i just i want to know what s the argument for having people from liberia and the other affected countries not coming to the united states. unless they pass a really rigorous screening process. because again working on new if i had a child that had ebola i would figure out how to get to the united states. i would lie on every form. uptick screening process. what are we going to have at airports? you can t have the tsa people like two or three tsa people instead of one tsa person. you need nurses and doctors at the airports. the real problem, you have to have them camp out for 21 days. right. so even the screening process seems to be a nonstarter in many ways as well. up next, yesterday s ground breaking decision by the supreme court by not making a decision at all. plus, chris matthews will be with us at the top of the hour. more morning joe next. when laquinta.com sends him a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes?

oh, it s a sweeping day. it s a ground breaking moment. i think it s a moment last year with the windsor decision and the striking down of the defense of marriage act, we hit an undeniable tipping point. i think yesterday is the undeniable no going back point. it s really extraordinary. well, isn t there wouldn t it have been extraordinary if the supreme court actually decided to take the cases and rule on them? there s still ambiguity out there, right? we have to pick up the other 15 states, no doubt about that. i will say that the court s decision to deny review in all five cases and to now have the three circuit court rulings stand and to have marriage now immediately in another 11 states was not something any of us anticipated. but the momentum that that signals i think what the court is essentially indicating by declining review is that it is confirming that these circuit courts are getting it right. i think that s huge. but you said what you think, you re guessing which allows in another again, i m not knocking you. obviously if i were in your position and i took your position, i would be excited about it. everybody is saying this is a glorious day, but even your morning, you re saying i think what the court is saying, but this still allows another what, 25 states to ban same-sex marriage, right? well, it has 15 there will be 15 states that will not be states that recognize the right of same-sex couples to marry or perform those marriages itself. but you have to agree that this is a sweeping momentum shift and we had momentum before and now it s momentum like turbo charged. and i can t imagine a situation i think this is a clear signal to the remaining circuit courts that the where the court is on the ultimate question. because they re not going to have a ruling like this that they know will be so sweeping and then take it away. they re in our corner, they re ready to rule then we that moment comes. but they re happy to let this play out. joe, i want to show you the response from republican governors, but governor pence,ly always believe in the importance of traditional marriage and abide by the rule of law. under our system of government, people are free to disagree with the court decisions but not to disobey them. governor walker says for us, it s over in wisconsin. the federal courts have ruled that this that this decision by this court of appeals decision is the law of the land and we will be upholding it. well, again, it was again for proponents of same-sex marriage yesterday was a great day. but it s not a slam dunk, kate, obviously until the supreme court rules at least five justices on the united states supreme court rule that you are a a state is violating the equal protection clause if they ban gay marriage. well, no, that s a really important point. and we are one country. it is an untenable situation that we will have couples who will be married in wisconsin and if they if their car rolls across the state line, their relationship will not be recognized. that is obscene. so that that has to change. let me ask you, why do you think what s your gut on why the justices were afraid and they were. the justices did not want to touch this case. what s your gut? just your politics aside and your beliefs aside, as a legal analyst, why did the court shy away from ruling on this case? well, i think there are a couple i mean, i can t read the tea leaves any better than anyone else, but i think there are two reasons. one, they decided two really important cases for the lgbt community just last term. the windsor ruling and the ruling on prop 8. and the second thing, this is like really from my first year in law school, there s no split in the circuits. every circuit fourth, seventh, tenth, all ruled in favor of marriage equality. i think if you go back to the classic reasons why a court would take a case for review, they want to settle a question among which there is disagreement. you know, ginsburg signalled this in a law school speech she gave a few weeks ago. it was the first time she laid out this possible scenario. i have to say a lot of my law school professor friends pretty much said to me, kate, that s how it s going to be. i actually think in some ways this is brilliant because what it will signal, as more people live with the reality of same-sex couples getting married in their communities and their marriage is still fine, the community is fine and they re celebrating love and they re seeing the relationships strong and nurtured by the government, people love it. it s fine. kate, thank you. next hour good to have you. next hour we ll speak to a former law clerk to justice scalia on this issue, ed whalen. we visit a place of unbridled joy born out of unspeakable tragedy. more morning joe in a moment. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that s not a coincidence. it s one more part of our commitment to america. so why treat your half mouth any differently? complete the job with listerine®. kill up to 99 percent of germs. and prevent plaque, early gum disease and bad breath. sfx: ahhh listerine®. power to your mouth™! dad,thank you mom for said this oftprotecting my future.you. thank you for being my hero and my dad. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance could be one of them. if you re a current or former military member or their family, get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are24/7branches? it s just i m a little reluctant to try new things. what s wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles? yeah. i do. try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. it began as an act of defiance, a way to turn a tragedy into a symbol of hope. 26 playgrounds have been built to honor the 26 victims of the sandy hook elementary school shooting. each one uniquely celebrates the children or teachers who lost their lives. brian williams brings us that story from the site of the 26th and final play ground. reporter: on a startlingly beautiful october day, happy children swarmed all over the brand new playground in connecticut, dedicated to the principal who died trying to protect her students at sandy hook elementary school two years ago now. after the ceremony and the flyover and the honor guard, there was raw emotion. a reading from a book that dawn loved to read to the children. it was led by one of her daughters. the young children don t understand why this playground was built, but their faces remind us what it s meant for. it is amazing. she would be so, so happy. reporter: all 26 of the memorial sandy hook playgrounds are now happy places. they re all scattered around the new york area in towns that also suffered damage from hurricane sandy. and at each one, the family members pitched in. put my hands in the cement. reporter: what is your favorite job to watch and favorite job to do yourself? my favorite is probably the sidewalk. and my favorite job to watch is probably the panels that they put on the reporter: okay. for the other families who lost someone at sandy hook, this project has held so much meaning. we became a family with all the firefighters. our little daniel loved to go to the playground. it s a beautiful tribute. today, the angels are looking down at us. wow, this is the final one. it s beautiful. reporter: the group behind this is a foundation called where angels play and they plan to keep doing this across the country in places where there s been tragedy. like boston, aurora, colorado, and moore, oklahoma. bill lavin is the founder of this whole concept. he s a retired new jersey firefighter who told me on the job site last week it doesn t get more personal for him. if you close your eyes can you see all 26, do they have a special meaning to you? every single one has a miracle that s happened. think of the moms and dads who have inspired this group here. who will work from dawn to dusk. then thank me for allowing them to do all of that. you know? they ll thank us. but quite frankly this is our blessing and privilege. what a beautiful idea. really is a beautiful, beautiful idea. hard to believe, but this december it will be two years since sandy hook. and mike, tell you what, i just can t i can t, other than 911 i just can t think of a day that has shattered the peace of this country more than that day. and there s a lot of talk after about gun control. there are a lot of battles. nothing has been done on any front. the issue i talked about the most, the background checks. i went back and checked checked to see. because there are a lot of things like people talk about assault weapons bans and even mike bloomberg said that won t save lives down the ground. but the background checks, a new quinnipiac poll shows that i say new this year, still overwhelmingly support background checks. even gun owners. even gun owners. even gun owners. yeah. support background checks. 92% to 6%. not gun control. background checks to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally deranged. out of the hands of terrorists. out of the hands of convicts. and congress does nothing. nothing, nothing. you mentioned september 11th. after september 11th, this country came out of that epic tragedy with a sense of purpose. with a sense of unity. now, it became misguided. we invaded iraq. after what happened in connecticut two years ago this december, it raises the question, who are we? i will forever be amazed that there was no sense of purpose, no specific sense of outrage directed at our institutions, the congress, various state legislatures, ourselves as to why we can t do minimal steps to remove weaponry from the hands of the deranged. the cowards in congress ran and hid despite the fact that in some states 94, 95% of the people in their states supported background checks, expansive background checks, like ronald reagan supported background checks, like george w. bush supported background checks. like 92% of gun owners support background checks and they were afraid of the 4%. by the way, if forget gun control, forget ale the things that diane feinstein wants. if you take care of that, and you realize that the gun violence is committed by the people who bought the gun, you take care of so much violence in this country. so much gang land violence. i m wondering who thinks it s conservative? right. to let gang members traffic guns? who thinks it s conservative for drug addicts and drug dealers to traffic guns? i don t know. where i come from, that s not conservative. that s radical, that s dangerous, that s stupid. a good question. we ll be right back. then there s trusting your vehicle maintenance to ford service confidence. our expertise, technology, and high quality parts means your peace of mind. it s no wonder last year we sold over three million tires. and during the big tire event, get up to $140 in mail-in rebates on four select tires. into one you ll never forget. earn triple points when you book with the expedia app. expedia plus rewards. but i ve managed.e crohn s disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn s disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. (receptionist) gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they ll only show up when you print a label and it s automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics. a pair of newscasters up in boston came back from commercial and something was a little off. just watch. good morning, everybody. thanks for joining us this morning on the october 4th. look at that guy s coffee mug again. just hold it the only way you can save that, mugs are they safer held upside down? a new report finds the answer. oh, my goodness. that s so funny. see, if we did that, all of the vodka would fall out. you have to keep it upright, joe. welcome back to morning joe. joining us from washington, i ve got a copy of tip and the gipper. did you get yours? a paper back. the host of hardball , chris matthews. his book. tip and the gipper, when politics worked. now out in paper back. more than ever before, we need this book. chris, we ll talk to you about this book in a little bit. we want to get through some news first. but we ll talk looking through the lens of a story we just talked about about background checks. 92% of the people supporting it, but congress we ll do that. let s go through the polls first. if you believe, chris, the latest polling, alison lundergan grimes has a chance of unseating the top republican in the senate. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads senator mcconnell 46 to 44% that s within the four-point margin of error. a month ago, mcconnell was up by eight points in the nbc news/maris poll. what do you think is going on there? well, i think that s a robo poll. so i m not sure that s not an outlier. we have to watch the pattern, i think it s an outlier. not the only race that democrats are showing strength. kay hagen was a four-point lead over tom tillis. the race in kansas is starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts, he s done by ten to greg orman, an independent. we ll save this tape until wednesday after the elections. let s make our predictions a month out. in the republicans win the senate i think they have a good chance to do it. it will be the following route they ll take. they ll win south dakota, montana, west virginia for sure. the next states will be alaska, arkansas and louisiana. they ll then have to win iowa which i think they ll win because they have make up for the loss to the independent orman. again, south dakota, montana, west virginia, alaska, arkansas, louisiana, and iowa. if they want to pick up a little bit of a benefit or a premium, they ll win in north carolina. but i don t think they will. or in colorado or new hampshire or michigan. chris just a minute, joe. just a minute. no no, it s my show. i m going to ask you a question. no. you always do this and you act like you never ask follow-up questions and you come on my show and you re shocked and stunned that somebody stopped you and asked you a question. to the follow-up question, what s happening in north carolina? i think she s going to win it. why? really? she s a really good candidate. why though? i m just curious. this is a state that obviously it s sort of a purple state right now. yes. she was supposed to be weak. look at the south, mary landrieu is keeping it close. arkansas is closer than it should be. north carolina is closer than it should be. it seems like the solid south for republicans isn t so solid anymore. yeah, well, i made my prediction for what i think going to happen. the net six pickup they ll squeak in. but it s a month out, of course. i think north carolina is interesting because tillis has to play defense as well as offense. i know the state is moving to the right. certainly and i know that, i don t like it, but it s happening. but i think she s been running consistently well. this is going on for months now. a consistent performance ahead of tillis. i think she s capable of a winner again this time. i wonder if in north carolina you had republicans take over in 2010, they went further right than a lot of people in north carolina were ready for them to go. you have the state senator who s actually paying for that on the campaign trail now. yeah, well i have a sentimental thing, we re bringing the whole team down to follow around that race and i m getting i m bragging now. the north carolina hall of fame i m getting down there. so i love the place down there. of course you do. congratulations. you sound like my dad right now. i love it. let s go to some other races. well, you mentioned colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge over cory gardner. yeah. i think he ll win. last month cory gardner was leading. jean shne shaheen was tied with scott brown and now is leading. and now joni ernst is now tied maike barnicle i want to ask you, remember we heard in new hampshire, the day after president obama went golfing, right after the isis beheading, you had people up there telling you they saw immediately a drop in polls? yeah. a month ago we had republicans coming on here saying oh, this is going to be a wave election. we re feeling good about it. we have those elections after the president seemed disengaged on isis. and now in all of the states not all, but most, it looks like we re back in the democrats favor from a tie a month ago in new hampshire to the seven point lead for jeanne shaheen. i know chris said it s a robo call, but a lot of the twists around turns are going in the democrats direction. you re seeing one consistent pattern, both in north carolina and in new hampshire. shaheen and in north carolina, both have achieved some separation from barack obama. and they have had to. because on the ground in both new hampshire and north carol a carolina, i assume in north carolina it would be the same as new hampshire, they don t want him in there. both candidates do not want the president of the united states in there. jeanne shaheen is a different, unique case. she is of new hampshire. she s of new hampshire. let s really quickly, willie, where republicans are ahead in alaska. mark begich has been losing ground. sullivan has a slight edge over pryor in arkansas. you know, that race keeps i ll tell you, i thought tom cotton would be six points ahead. but this race is still close. cbs news/ new york times poll, louisiana senator landrieu is down by six to republican bill cassidy. much different from a poll a couple of days ago. it is. you mentioned that arkansas race, president clinton was in the state yesterday. really feeling up in his home state. looking to help democrats get a win there. the former president returning there. headlining rallies for mark pryor and gubernatorial candidate mike ross who is the former driver by the way. that s great. he urged them to reject republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of these races, they re saying, you may like these guys but hey, you know what you ve got to do. you have to vote against the president. i promise you your last shot. it s a pretty good scam isn t it? i may wander, i may groan, but i ll never be far from home. you re in my heart and you will always be. arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don t vote for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. vote for the legacy and you ll be happy a month from now. thank you and god bless you. it s like seeing elvis in vegas. it disn t matter it doesn t matter what happened before he got there and put the long scarf on, when he belts out like, you know, jailhouse rock. he s still elvis. that is a sight to behold. a man on his home turf. singing his favorite songs. i may go far chris matthews, were you moved? i hear 2016 calling already. it runs deep in you. it runs deep. 2016, yeah. hey, chris, let s say your scenario plays out, that you laid out and republicans do squeak out the senate. okay, so they take the house. the senate. what are the last two years of president obama s second term looking like? well, it looks like go way back in history the republicans when they got the congress in 46 when truman was president, i see a lot of probes, investigations, a lot of that. you know, a lot of darrell isa stuff going on. mainly investigations and again going back to obamacare i don t think it will look good going into 2016. i think the no vote is what they re selling this time. but by 2016, people are looking for a yes candidate. somebody who offers something for the future. so they have to do a hell of a quick turn around from being the no party to the yes party. i still think hillary has the yes, potentially over them. people want to say yes when they pick a new president. not no. i think. now, they do. and mika, things look very different for barack obama if republicans get in versus if the democrats hold. i will tell you this. for republicans it s the same. no matter what. whether they get in or not, if they don t have a forward looking, positive agenda they re doomed in 16. if getting in means stopping barack obama, they re going to lose in 16. the party just fold up the tent and go away. if winning the senate means they re moving forward with a positive, hopeful forward looking agenda, they have actually a shot at 16. when they re in the minority or the majority, it really doesn t matter for the 16 candidate if they re the party of no. as chris said, they are doomed in 16. i ll say it right now. they are doomed in 16 if they don t stop just playing. there s still time for constructive ideas and candidat candidates who are exciting. let s get to the next story, same-sex couples in another five states are now able to be married. the supreme court declined to rule on challenges to lower court decisions that overturned same-sex marriage bans in utah and other states. and joining us now edward whalen, a former law clerk to antonin scalia and served on the senate judiciary committee. great to have you on. i m just wondering, does this go on the pantheon of conservative disappointments when republicans supposedly rule the supreme court? sandra day o connor, back in the famous missouri decision on abortion and now the roberts court deciding not to move on this issue? well, i think it s a disappointment to all parties concerned, that is there are folks on both sides of the issue who thought it should be decided by the court and it s disappointing that they re letting the lower court ruling stand. that said, this seems to be a consequence of the court s opinion a couple years ago. especially in the united states versus windsor where the court ruled 5-4 that the federal defense of marriage act was unconstitutional. in reasoning that i think most people would find baffling. that act was passed by the overwhelming majorities by both houses of congress, including lots of strong supporters of gay rights. signed in to law by president clinton, but it could be explained only by an intent to injure. so i think with that sort of baffling reasoning, the conservatives on the court which a group that does not include justice kennedy, probably concluded that justice kennedy was beyond persuasion on this. so governor walker said the fight is over when it comes to gay rights. do you agree? well, i think the question isn t one of gay rights broadly. the question is one of marriage and i misspoke. gay marriage. what marriage is and who decides what marriage is. obviously, in the state of wisconsin for now, there s been a judicial imposition of same-sex marriage and it s difficult to see what could possibly be done there. he s well, as a practical matter right now, it s difficult to see what can be done. now one could sketch a scenario in which it s not over. i won t claim to be an optimist on this. again, when one looks at where five supreme court justices appear to be there s little cause for short term optimism. ed, thank you so much. greatly appreciate it. again, none of the circuits disagree. if the circuits aren t disagreeing, they won t weigh in. chris matthews, tip and the gipper when politics worked. 92% of gun owners support background support and yet the extremes control so much. the big money on both sides control so much. we get nothing done. yeah, the funny thing is that for years, joe, you and i know that the slogan of the nra was guns don t kill people, people do. find out who are the people buying the guns. it s not about the gun, but about the person. so let s make sure that the right people are getting guns if they have to have a gun. and the wrong people don t. i mean, that seems to me consistent with what they have always argued about training and safety and everything else. isn t one of the safety precautions for the gun making sure that crazy people and murderers don t get them? isn t that safety precaution? it is logical and consistent with the way they have always approached at least theoretically gun ownership. chris matthews, we ll be watching hard ball tonight. i love it. it s the show i m watching as i m winding the day down. can i tell one story? sure. i was on the air take about ten minutes. one second. one second. i was trying to explain my book when i started this push for the paper back the other day. and somebody gets on the phone with me from one of the local stations and says, when did tipper gore and ronald reagan begin their relationship? [ laughter ] oh! oh. i had no idea, mika, where to go with that. wow. i gave the bill clinton answer from the debates. i acted as if she had said tip o neal and ignored what was that is so funny. don t you love book tours? sometimes you have to roll with it. like when pat buchanan had i had a doozie, remind me to tell you about it. thanks chris. after a rescue at sea, the bubble man is back. he s back! and he wants his bubble back. what an idiot. then republicans can already claim victory in one key battleground area. that story is apparently on youtube. that s the area they ve won. we ll explain when we come back. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don t think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. oats go! wow! go power oats! go! go power! yayyyy! your customers, our financing. your aspirations, our analytics. your goals, our technology. introducing synchrony financial, bringing new meaning to the word partnership. banking. loyalty. analytics. synchrony financial. enagage with us. we ll take a look at the morning papers. the wall street journal, the joe biden apologyç tour. it comes after making remarks critical about the allies in the middle east. he was right, other than confusing well, he shouldered the blame for the rise of isis and now the vice president is reaching out to officials in saudi arabia to clarify and apologize. he s spoken to leaders from turkey and the united arab emirates. shouldn t have done that. yesterday, the white house stood by the vice president. the vice president is somebody who has enough character to admit when he s made a mistake. the vice president is somebody who continues to be a core member of the president s national security team. he is somebody who has decades of experience in dealing with leaders around the globe. and the president is pleased to be able to rely on his advice as we confront the variety of challenges that are so critical to american national security. and by the way, if you re keeping score at home, the no criticize joe zone still it applies here on the set of morning joe. yeah. we re not going to criticize joe biden here. from usa today, floyd mayweather said he s $1.4 million richer after bet on the indianapolis colts. hmm. the boxer took to instagram to share his ticket, showing he bet on week 3. he bet $373,000. negative 105 odds and the colt won it despite ending with 0-2 record. the miami herald, the endurance athlete rescued in the inflatable bubble off the coast of florida, this story brought to you by my sister-in-law. may be safe but he s still stupid. but he wants the bubble back. reza baluchi was attempting to run the border of the bermuda triangle in a bubble, it s called a hydropod. his journey was cut short on saturday when he was rescued by the coast guard due to extreme fatigue. his bubble was left in the water and now he wants it back. it cost him 4,500 bucks to build and it still has his green card, passport, wallet and cell phone and shoes inside. there s something so ridiculous about this story. and the guy s dead serious. he wants his bubble back. and how much did the coast guard spend on that, rescuing that idiot? yeah. maybe they can balance out after he pays them for what they did for him, he can get his bubble back. we go from that story to a serious one. how about some fighting kangaroos. this is posted to reddit, two kangaroos boxing on a residential street in australia. nbc can confirm this is in fact a residential street and that those are in fact kangaroos! that looks like you and me after the show. well, sometimes during the show. look at that. oh, my goodness. is that they re raging roos. a good lower third. can you believe that? look at that. yeah. oh, yeah, you deserve that. all right. i don t know how to do this transmission. i m mesmerized by that. can we see that again? okay. let s put it in the box in the lower left of our screen. as we take to mike allen, we can gaze at the kangaroos kick boxing. put it in the loop. i m serious. keep this up. keep it up and we ll talk to mike. we have mike allen, here with the morning playbook. if you know don t like what mike is a saying, look to the left side of your screen. mike, according to politico the midterm race for the campaign viral videos isn t close. we are going to be showing you this viral video throughout this entire segment, but first, let s take a look at what republicans are doing online. i m matt rosen dale, this is how i look from the government drone. and this is what i think about it. sometimes when a politician has been in d.c. too long it goes to his head and he can t seem to get the job done. if you have a boehner lasting longer than 23 years seek immediate medical attention. i m joni ernst, when i get to washington i know how to cut pork. mom, this is my decision. i see a better future with rick scott. sometimes it s hard to let go of old styles, but it all worked out in the end because brittany said yes to rick scott. uh. i m stuck on the first one. all right. now, the first one is pretty good. all right. so mike, why have i m sorry, i don t see the kangaroos fighting, there we go. why have the republicans fared so much better than the democrats when it comes to this season? well, politico analyzed traffic stats from youtube and facebook and said that the republicans have a much bigger lead in the viral videos. and that s such a change from 2012 when obama and the democrats were so dominant in creating digital comment. the republicans are much better and one of the reasons is they re taking the more gorilla approach. the outsiders trying to take the senate, taking on obama. many of the most clicked ads which were made by the koch network had to do with obamacare. and democrats say now they re more putting their digital resources into fund-raising e-mails. is there any evidence that this actually has an impact on supporters? i m so glad you asked that because yes, this can change elections and could change the senate. joe, joni ernst had her stand out in a field of republicans. nobody knew who d win that primary and now ernst who is looking strong in iowa could be a bluish state that could go red. she could be the majority maker. so in this time when everybody s attention is fractured a viral video can change the senate. we re looking at one right now. mike allen, thank you so much. we appreciate it. it s kind of like those old kick boxing kangaroos. like the old palmolive videos, you re soaking in it. remember madge? yeah. bill clinton comes to the defense of mark pryor. but first, relieved to be back in the united states, but the freelance nbc cameraman still has a long way to go for recovery. we ll have kate snow with a special report coming up. and many more kangaroos kick boxing. twhat do i do?. you need to catch the 4:10 huh? the equipment tracking system will get you to the loading dock. there should be a truck leaving now. i got it. now jump off the bridge. what? in 3.2.1. are you kidding me? go. right on time. right now, over 20,000 trains are running reliably. we call that predictable. thrillingly predictable. [ male announcer ] when you see everyone in america almost every day, you notice a few things. like the fact that you re pretty attached to these. ok, really attached. and that s alright. because we ll text you when your package is on the way. we re even expanding sunday package delivery. yes, sunday. at the u.s. postal service, our priority is.was. and always will be.you. into one you ll never forget. earn points for every flight and every hotel. expedia plus rewards. here i am. rock you like a hurricane. fiber one now makes cookies. now the very latest on the ebola outbreak and the efforts to keep that virus from spreading. there s a nurse in spain that s the latest to be infected. the first diagnosis outside of west africa. meanwhile, the white house is rejecting calls for a travel ban but says it s working on increased screening at airports here in the u.s. and abroad. and we re learning new information about the nbc freelance photographer who arrived for treatment less than 24 hours ago. kate snow joins us live from home omaha. how is his treatment because they were deciding on what type of medicine to give him. that s right, thomas. last night we learned that he will be given some kind of a experimental medication. his father telling us that his dad happens to be a doctor in his own right and he says they re really lucky that they caught the ebola virus pretty early. ashoka mukpo is waking up in isolation. he was able to walk off the plane from liberia. he gave a little wave earlier when he first came in. that was reassuring. he and his girlfriend lived together in liberia for two years. helen was due to join him in liberia this past weekend. i miss him i really miss him. i was meant to see him, you know, a couple of days ago. and i wish it was under different circumstances. his parents say he s scared by ready to fight. he said i ll get through this. it s a combination of emotions. we have been very afraid, on the other hand we re very confident. the 85-year-old mother of ebola patient thomas eric duncan arrived in dallas monday. she drove 15 hours to be near him. hoping to find a way for him to hear her voice. he is taking an experimental drug. he was given the same dose on saturday, the same day that his condition took the turn for the worse. if duncan infected anyone else, they would likely have symptoms this week. so far, none of the 48 people being watched is sick. 100% seen yesterday. 100% of them had no signs of fever. had no signs of illness. 100% were doing well. still, authorities worry about the toll this ebola case is taking. the stress of this and the fear of this, you know, could be more damaging to this community than the virus itself. now, experts say we have the tools in this country to stop any kind of ebola outbreak. the key tool is finding anyone who s been exposed to the ebola virus and making sure that we monitor those people. that s exactly by the way what s being done with dr. nancy snyderman and her team. the nbc news team returned late last night on a charter flight and we know that they were monitored by health officials when they got here, back to the u.s. we are told they re in good health, showing no symptoms. but just out of an abundance of caution they re quarantined and staying away at home for the next 21 days. explain the process that h e have that was and the decision process made to take mukpo to the hospital in omaha. yeah, it sounds random, but they have a bio containment unit here that has been set up for a number of years. they have been training extensively to handle any kind of infectious disease. by the way, they already treated one patient with ebola. remember, dr. rick sacre, he was treated here. so they have experience. the doctors were pointing out to me yesterday this is not something that s been in the u.s. much before. so it s very new so they wanted to send him somewhere where they had the expertise. all right, kate snow, thanks. appreciate it. coming up next, bill clinton saying arkansas runs deep in him. yes, it does. when he s not in new york city. we ll hear more from the former president turned star in his home state as he fights as he fights it falling into republican hands. joe, what do you say to that? i want to see kangaroos. when laquinta.com sends him a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i m sold! a selling machine! ready for you alert, only at lq.com. dad: he s our broker. he helps looks after all our money. kid: do you pay him?

wealth management at charles schwab so ally bank really has no hidden fethat s right. accounts? it s just that i m worried about you know hidden things. ok, why s that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. democrat mark pryor is still hanging on in arkansas, but he s been slipping in the latest polls. he s now down by four to tom cotton. time to bring out the big guns and there s no one bigger in arkansas than bill clinton. casey hunt is on the trail. i love my native state. without you i never would have had a chance to do anything. and i didn t come back to the briar patch, i came back to the future. reporter: for bill clinton this is where it all began. bill clinton who announced today he wants to be a democratic presidential nominee. i m proud to say here in arkansas we have led the way. reporter: now clinton is trying to save what s left of his party in his home state. senator mark pryor, the son of clinton confidant david pryor in danger of losing to tom cotton. i didn t come here to talk about my opponent, but let me take this opportunity to do so. you know, he went to harvard. right? i know. he couldn t get into uca, what can i say? the president s unpopular in arkansas. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of the races they re saying you may like the guys, but hey, you know what you have to do. you have to vote against the president. it s a pretty good scam, isn t it? reporter: arkansas had just one republican in congress and now pryor is the last democrat left. people like my parents used to vote democratic. but now the obama democrats in washington no longer represent arkansas s conservative values. is this still the arkansas you governed? oh, i think so. i think we ve got a really good chance. i think he s run a great campaign, i think he i expect him to win. can he win this race for you? i have got to win this race on my own. reporter: if there s one thing they agree on it, might be bill clinton. i think a lot of arkansans look back on the clinton years like the obama years and view them favorably. president clinton, can i get a selfie? wow. with us is nobody draws them like bill clinton. certainly not in arkansas. but this race has been up in the air. i said a couple of hours ago i thought tom cotton to be up by ten points now. but it s a lot closer. what keeps pryor close and what makes democrats think they can still win this race? reporter: it s a couple of factors, joe. this is a democratic state for decades. only recently it s finally started to slip away from the southern democrats and at this point, mark pryor still has a ton of goodwill from his father, david pryor, who is very close do former president bill clinton and bill clinton himself has been really engaged here. you know, he noted in his speech, hey, this isn t the only time i have been down here to arkansas. he s been back for three funerals, coming back for his high school reunion. he s still very connected to it. and if there s anybody that can make a difference for mark pryor it s bill clinton. that s what you re soing over seeing over the next few days. what did you see down there? well, i travelled with tom cotton on saturday. i m upset with the pryor campaign, he s a wonderful man. i asked what events, and they wouldn t tell me. that s weird. but aside from that okay. you have vented. aside from that, pryor is a very decent, lovely man. cotton is, you know, is moving with the trends down there. i saw him on saturday talking to a gun rally and saying that the right to bear arms was not just a constitutional right, but a god-given right. oh, my. and well, you obviously, it s the 11th commandment. yeah. okay. or the 12th maybe. so it s a very conservative state, but arkansas still a little different than let s say alabama or mississippi or tennessee. there s still sort of yeah. more of the yellow dogs still running around in the south. one thing i noticed when talking about north carolina a little while ago, i was there as well on my road trip and the thing that that s keeping the democrat afloat there is the fact that tillis legislature cut education funding. and in north carolina, there is a long, moderate tradition, 50 years since terry sanford of boosting education as a way to bring in industry. you know, i ll tell you what, for conservatives who are shocked when i say this, i mean, you ve got to look at the tea leaves this year. this is in many ways i think a an election where the warning flags if they haven t gone up for republicans already, they need to go up on issues education and tax cuts. you can cut education to pay for tax cuts, you need to talk to sam brown back, it s not paying anymore for republican. this tax cuts at all costs mentality, if brownback goes down, this as the center plank for the republican party i agree with joe scarborough on this one. i think you see two states now, north carolina and kansas are education cuts are paying heavily in the democrats favor. what s interesting about a arkansas you have obamacare there and i m curious what casey can tell us about how that obviously, medicaid expansion has insured a lot of people. i think arkansas has the steepest drop in the uninsurance rate in the country. casey, did you pick up anything from this? yeah, president clinton actually offered a pretty row best defense of the president s health care law. which was interesting to me. following senator pryor s campaign. it is something they have tried to kind of run on a little bit. they have the one ad sort of praising obamacare and then they backed away from it. i think it illustrates this broader problem that he has in dealing with president obama. president clinton alluded to it, noting that president obama was unpopular in arkansas. and i asked pryor about the ebola crisis yesterday and i think it illustrates the problem he has here in the ad talking cotton. this is what he had to say. do you think that the obama administration has done an appropriate job handling the ebola crisis? um, i would say that it s hard to know because i haven t heard the latest briefing on that to know all i read the paper and all, but my impression is that we have people over there, both from cdc and other medical type people and even some engineers to try to build, you know, medical facilities. that s what they need over there. they need the medical infrastructure. have we been aggressive enough in helping these people? um, again, i have to see the latest numbers. wow. stop it. stop it. stop it! stop it! what? just stop. you re like throw in the towel, casey, what was going on there? nice, gentle question. i m not sure. i thought he would have a yes or no answer. but could i what was that, casey? she asked a gentle question. she was just being honest and the guy just collapsed. you were there, why were the questions so hard for the senator to answer? well, you know, like i said, i was a little surprised that they were so difficult because he had aired this out on ebola late in august. accusing his opponent tom cotton of not doing enough to fight global pandemics. i you thought that was a softball? for that ad. news of the day question. joe klein? compare and contrast on saturday i asked cotton about ebola and he immediately said we have to shut down flights from that region because and this was the brilliant part, because the terrorists might send people infected with ebola over here. and, you know, when you think of boko haram, i think that deals to the sense of fear in the last three weeks that was an answer. a professional answer even if it was sam stein, you brought up the ad that senator pryor had used before on ebola. yeah. trying to blame tom cotton for it. he was very critical and yet to have him stammer there with casey, pretty stunning. i mean, it s painful to watch. yeah. and the answer is pretty self-explanatory from mark pryor s perspective. go back to the facts of the ad. the budget for the centers for disease control has been cut by $600 million from 2010 to 2014. listen, the republican party and the austerity movement has cut cdc funding, but he stammered and couldn t come one the word, it was really awkward. i would say cotton referencing ebola patients and sending them across the border well, split screen with the kick boxing kangaroos no, no. let s watch this quickly. can you guys play it again? how do you say no mas in kangaroo? stunning. do you think that the obama administration has done an appropriate job handling the ebola crisis? um, i would say that it s hard to know because i haven t heard the latest briefing on that to know all the i read the paper and all, but my impression is we have people over there, both from cdc and other medical type people and even some engineers to try to build, you know, medical facilities. that s what they need over there. they need the medical infrastructure. do you think we ve been aggressive enough in um, again, i have to see the latest numbers. oh, my god. casey hunt, you have done it again. what is wrong with you? she is so mean. you re cruel. she asks such simple questions. it s a trap. you re cunning. casey, thank you so much. we ll put that side by side with australian kick boxing. sam, painful. joe klein, thank you. i m sorry you re upset. boy, they just up next, one high school cancels the entire football season. and prosecutors are now involved. we ll tell you the major reason why. willie has that story for us next on morning joe. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment s right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any allergic reactions like rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a free 30-tablet trial. your customers, our financing. your aspirations, our analytics. your goals, our technology. introducing synchrony financial, bringing new meaning to the word partnership. banking. loyalty. analytics. synchrony financial. enagage with us. faster than d-con. what will we do with all of these dead mice?

we need to talk about what we re going to wear before we wear it. just get it out of the way here. it s ha holiday party. it s still october. what s going on? i don t know. i don t like this. this is just not going to work. i m sorry. i m going to change. i ll be right back. you read the news. i ll be right back. don t change. i like that sweater. it doesn t look like it s going to walk away. i m going to get another. read the news, mika. i m sure there s a lot to talk about. it s the first time he actually wore a different all right. okay. well, he s gone. let s do the news, shall we? i can t believe it. i like the holiday look. i thought it looked good, you know. just trying to make it up a little built. if you believe the latest polling, can you guys believe this? has a very real chance at unseating the top republican in the senate. this didn t look like it could happen until now. according to a new kentucky bluegrass poll, grimes leads mcconnell 46 to 44%. that s within the four-point margin of error. a month ago mcconnell was up by eight points. it s not the only race, by the way, where the democrats are showing strength. we re seeing this in a couple of other key places. north carolina, kay hagan has a four-point lead. but she s leading. the race in kansas, already starting to look out of reach for incumbent pat roberts. he s down by 10% to independent greg orman. in colorado, mark udall has a three-point edge of corey garner. that s close to a toss-up. he was leading by eight points at one point. last month jeanne shaheen. and in iowa where two weeks ago joni ernst was leading by six, she s now tied with democrat bruce braley. i don t know. you think that the president is such a hint rans as the narrative has been, dorian. and yet we re seeing something possiblily happening here if you believe the polls. and we haven t seen the clintons in action by the way. we re going to talk about that. that mr. make a difference. it s hard to figure out, is this an anti-incumbency wave, or is this something the democrats are doing in terms of campaign strategy that republicans are not? it remains to be scene. particularly remarkable. grimes looked like she was starting to slip away. she had done so well for several month ls. you saw mcconnell getting some distance. so she closed the gap now with a month left to go. and as you say, that whole campaign has been about pairing her with president obama, and now here she is tied. i find that to be extremely interesting to watch. in alaska, mark begich has been losing ground to sullivan. tom cotton has a slight edge on pryor in arkansas. and the cbs news new york times poll has louisiana senator mary landrieu down by six points to really bill kasz di. so there we re seeing a fight for senator mary landrieu. the comeback kid, as you mentioned, is looking to help democrats in his hometown state. former president bill clinton returned to arkansas to headline rallies for mark pryor. clinton urged votered to reject republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make this a protest vote. all three races. they re saying you may like these guys, but you got to vote against the president. it s your last shot. it s a good scam, isn t it? i may wander and roam, but i will never be far from home. you re in my heart, and you will always be, arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don t tell you for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. vote for pat hayes. and you will be happy a mon from now. thank you and god bless you. boy, he s really something, isn t he? yes, you are. i love that guy. could he be any happier? please don t do this. just don t do it. stop. and what about mitch mcconnell, huh? he s down. yes, i mentioned that at the top of the show when you walked away. i was excited about your reaction. but you just left. i m going to do that. i m going to try that. why? i thought we looked good. i didn t want to hear andy williams holiday song. we were coordinating our sweaters before the show, it s a showing. if you look what s happening with mitch mcconnell. we were all asking, what were the polls going to look like? the first wave of polls after the beheadings. after barack obama went out golfing after the beheading specifically. and now we re starting to see a big turnaround in kentucky. you look at north carolina. big turnaround. republicans were sure ap month ago this is going to be a wave election. it may still be. you just don t see any evidence of it out there. democrats are doing so much better now than they should be doing. and republicans are now going to lose kansas. what do you make of kentucky? i don t see it as related to isis. do you? is that what is happening here? all democrats were hurt a month ago by barack obama s seeming obliviousness to what was going on with isis. and the jv comments and golfing after the beheading. but i think you re starting to see these races go back to their set point. and the set point is a lot of kentucky people can t relate to mitch mcconnell. they may not agree with grimes in a lot of issues, but they just can t relate to mitch mcconnell. and she and other candidates have run smart campaigns distancing themselves from the president. as the former president bill clinton said in arkansas, this is not a vote for barack obama. this is a vote for mark pryor or london grimes or other particular candidates. this should have republicans worried for 2016. they have a lot more seats to defend in 2016. i m sorry. i was just going to say clinton s comments were interesting, too. he said this is just two more years of president obama. he s almost saying don t worry. it s only two more years. but these guys are aplaying for six-h year jobs. so don t make this about president obama. oh, my gosh. he s very, very good. if you talk to any republican strategist six months ago, a year ago and said a month before the election you re going to be losing kwst by ten. to an independent candidate. and you re going to be losing north carolina. in some polls you re going to be losing louisiana. arkansas is going to be split down the middle. i can tell you as republicans we re screwed. iowa is tied right now. and the democrat out in iowa is a clown. i mean, democrats say quietly, that guy is a clown. he s ill fit for kansas. he goes to texas and say, the last thing we want is somebody from iowa, a dumb ass iowa farmer is basically what he s saying. well although i would say, joni ernst commercials the the castration candidates. i those were brilliant before. clearly iowa voters are thinking something else now. i don t know. i think if you look at the trend, it s all against the republicans right now. there are exceptions. scott walker, a guy i like very much. a great hope for a lot of conservatives like myself. he may not win this year. he s being investigated for corruption scandal. go a state over to michigan. one tough nerd. the governor of michigan. a year ago everything looked great. now he s on the run. and here s the thing, this is what republicans need to understand. you got to stand for something. you can t just be against barack obama. and the problem is. if the republicans can t win. and priebus will say this. if the republicans can t win in 2014 when everything is breaking their way. when they were fighting in red states, then in 16 all the senate fights are going to be on blue states, plus the presidential race. r is going to be especially ugly. yeah. let me get one other headline in here. officials are now confirming the first case of ebola to be contracted outside of west africa. a nurse in spain is in stable condition at a hospital this morning after testing positive for the deadly virus. officials say she cares for two spanish priests who boelt died from ebola. the parents of ashoka mukpo said he s in good spirits after arriving in omaha for treatment. dr. nancy sneiderman and her team arrived in the united states and were checked by a health pishl upon ail rival. all are feeling well, in good health. they re deemed low risk but will are be be staying home and monitoring their temperature for the remainder of the 21-day period. and in dallas, the man being treated for the ebola virus remains in critical condition. we ve learned thomas eric duncan is being given an experimental drug approved by the fda. president obama says his administration is working on increased screening for ebola. it comes as a new research poll finds nearly 60% of americans have a great or fair amount of confidence the government could prooent an ebola outbreak in the u.s. but there s a sharp divide among parties. 69% of democrats share the confidence. 51% of republicans have little or no krz in the u.s. government in terms of how it could stop an outbreak. i think screening will be difficult. i don t know how they re going to do it. the it s not just about cutting off flights. willie, what do you make of the poll we just talked about? is this it looks like it s about president obama. it looks like just a blind referendum. it s strange that became a political question. i think it s a lot of things. obamacare, irs. a lot of things that made us think, do you guys do anything? i think democrats feel the same way. how is george w. bush handling the outbreak, yould see the numbers flip. this becomes split call. zblf it s strange, isn t it? and the government at the local level versus the federal level. especially since president obama has been in office. that s not unusual, the broad trends. but it is strange around ebola. coming up on morning joe. as the white house plans new airline screening procedures to minimize the threat of ebola, we ll look at how one key american city is handling the the crisis. plus, michael bloomberg gets knighted by the queen. but don t call him sir just yet. speaking of sir, he always wants us to call him that. he always wants him to call us what is that? can we say it on the air? yeah, he loves that. it s better than what you could have gone with, i guess. good morning, everyone. including joe and mika. blood moon. have you heard the term? we re going to have one later tonight. all it means is we get these lunar eclipses with pretty much the full moon. we get the refraction of the light off the earth. because of the dust and the dirt. it looks ret oud there during the eclipse. this is going to happen tomorrow morning very early. if you re on the east coast, a lot of clouds. but around 5:15 to 8:15. the best viewing will be the west coast around 3:30 to 4:30 in the morning. the next one will happen in april. we get four of these in two years. that doesn t usually happen. e back to weather. i mentioned the clouds blocking the view of the lunar eclipse in the east. a large amount of clouds and rain to the east. heaviest rains are in h northern new england. a a batch over north carolina. and pretty good amount of showers and thunderstorms between memphis and cape gerardo on the mississippi river. that could clip the memphis area shortly. and in nashville, we have rain for you. and new york city, southern new england, and coastal jersey a line of strong storms will go there. gusty winds could bring down trees and maybe an isolated tornado. very weird scenario for you. if you re west of the mississippi, you re looking rather nice today. the exception being arizona. we leave you with a shot. can you believe this? the rink is back. they re making the ice. getting ready for the holiday season. you re watching morning joe. we ll be right back. ring ring! .progresso! you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. well vegetables. shh! taste better in our savory broth. vegetables!?

i assume you re talking about ebola, not isis. ebola, yeah. isis is scary, too. yeah, i was thinking about turkey. that s all right. i think we re calm. we re sitting on pins and needles. but we had an all-time hoping of our state fair over the last week. and 92,000 people showed up to the cowboys game. i went to a big oktoberfest. people are out and about. this is a great time to be in dallas. the weather is good. i don t see any pulling back on that. folks are going to school. but we re serious. this is a very tough issue. but i think it s only the mean people creating some of this some of this fear. let s talk about the incubation period. this is the critical week, as you pointed out, where people who came in contact with thomas eric duncan could show any type of symptom ls. no one was showing any signs. but we had ten people who had contact with duncan who are considered high risk. so explain exactly what the monitoring process is for those ten people. well, basically each we ve got a couple of dozen people tracking, around 48 people and we visit with them every day. they look at the temperature. they ask how they re feeling. they look at them from a health standpoint and give them a little checkup. and so every morning i ll get a report. we have one today at noon. so it s turning over a big blackjack card when i get the report to make sure they re healthy. mayor mike rawlings, thank you for being on the show. thank you for watching. thank you, mr. mayor, we ll have to drop by in dallas next. please do. we re you re in new york, come on the show. i would love to. still ahead, barack obama says the economy is stronger than it ever has been during his presidency. we re going to fact check that with our powerhouse economic round table straight ahead. plus, why one of our panelists says crazy is a compliment. i m with him.

the author of crazy is a compliment, the problem with zigging while everyone else zags. i love that. you just complimented joe. any time people come with an idea and say it s crazy exactly, if they re not calling you crazy, you re not thinking big enough. i m reading the new google book. he said things move so quickly. if you re not being called crazy every week or month, tyou re going to be left behind. we can do nothing and hope our jobs are safe, or we can take risks. the riskier strategy is to do nothing. the reason i wrote crazy is a compliment is to bottle up my experience working with a thousand entrepreneurs to help people who have a dream but are feeling scared or stuck and create a road map for helping them go guard. so brian, we have, in the united states of america, a congress and a political structure that is just the opposite of crazy in the good way. we re not doing anything to move this economy forward. no, we re not. and we ll have the pleasure of all kinds of great people, successful people. they have nothing in common, except for one thing. they all have this amazing ability to take risks and believe in yourself. congress is all about consensus. either it s red state or blue state. somebody is going to have to zag. and they re scared of their own shadow. yes, they are. that comes because we have a rough time in the economy. wanes haven t moved. jobs were very hard to come by. we re getting a little bit of a change in the overall economy. we got about a quarter million net jobs created. a lot of those didn t go where we needed them. they didn t go to women. they didn t go to younger people. i think one of the things we re proud of. they have nearly 200 employees today. did you just use starbuck as a verb? he did, didn t he? you re starbucking a nail salon. trying to transform something mundane. the 65,000 nail salons in this country. $8 billion reported. it s probably closer to $14 billion. we need professional standards. right now it seems like a lot of people are intrigued. that s amongst the highest in the last decade. it s not going to things more mundane. the service economy. the service economy. the independent workers. and what i think i love is it s not just technology where entrepreneurship is thriving. most people starting businesses are women and baby boomers over 55. we just don t hear their stories. and your point, entrepreneurship is not just entrepreneurs anymore. we haul need the skills of change making. and what you re talking about cannot be outsourced. you cannot amazon can i use that has a a verb? you cannot amazon nail care. you need people. and we hear from both parties. that s not true. new businesses are job creators. and so, yesterday i talked to a neighbor. and asked how is paul simon?ç but it s a guy that has a business. he s a small business owner. mom and pop shop. runs it out of his house. and i ask him what i always ask with restaurants and businesses in the town. they all say the same thing? this month was good. last month was bad. the month before was so-so. the month before was terrible. the month before was agreement. i m hearing this from all small business owners. they can t make plans because it s um and down. we have a schizophrenic consumer. and your neighbor will continue to say that until we have real wage gains. if it goels down. this is the next election. one of the issues around there is we re so focused on the demand side and not supply side. and what we need to do is focus on them. be focused with the authentic crazy person was self care. only then can you get the predictability of revenue. the problem is trying to focus on the profit and performance. you need to start with product. so linda, how do you describe the the schizophrenic economy? you have unemployment below 6%. and that s because people have given up looking for jobs. and chaos favors the entrepreneur. but entrepreneurs are not about the farm. we imagine them going all in. entrepreneurs are risk minimizeers. so three facts i point out in crazy is a compliment. number one, you don t have to go all in. 50 pk 50% of the fastest growing companies start with under $5,000. the best innovators keep their day jobs while they re starting their ideas. the founder of nike did taxes for ten years. you need to balance between taking risks and doing risk. deal with chaos. people are scarred, right? they re scared, too. i m not going to leave my job where i feel secure after what just happened to start a company. that s why sho many are 20-year-olds. if they fail, they re okay. if you re 40 with a couple of kids and a mortgage, you re not starting a business. i ve known tony two years now. i can t imagine him being a nail man. thank you so much. tony, greatly appreciate it. thank you so much for coming in. and the book is crazy is a compliment. much more morning joe ahead.

my favorite job to do myself is probably the sidewalk. and my favorite job to watch is probably the panels they put on the playstand. reporter: and for the other families who lost someone at sandy hook, this project has held so much meaning. we became a family with all the firefighters. our angels are looking down at us. looking wow. the final one. it s beautiful. the group blind this is a foundation called where angels play. they plan to coop doing this across the country in places where there s been tragedy. like boston, aurora, colorado, and moore, oklahoma. bill laven is the founder of the whole concept. he s a retired new jersey firefighter who told me on the job site last week it doesn t get more personal for him. if you close your eyes, can you see all 26? do they all have a special meaning to you? every single one has a miracle that has happened. they will work from dawn to dusk and then thank me for allowing them to do all that. but this is our blessing and privilege. this september will be two years since the sandy hook shooting. two years since a disturbed individual was able to get his hands on three semiautomatic weapons. and nothing has been done in congress. and it s not done on the campaign trail with isis, ebola and stagnant wages in the headlines. it s easy for politicians to ignore it for some reason. polls show americans overwhelmingly support background checks on all gun sales. even gun owners support it by a wide margin. 89 to 9%. that s straight forward. you start talking about gun control and the numbers drop quickly. i m not sure why gun control, though. it s just a background check. i don t know. george w. bush supported background checks. i don t know. mike? we talked about this before. endlessly. the institutional indifference and lack of courage. it s so depressing. you look at the numbers as we just ind kalted. when you walk a street and talk to ordinary human beings, it s depressing our political institutions don t react. having said that, bill laven, the firefighter who came up with that idea. what a great idea. what a hopeful, beautiful person to find a way to celebrate as well as remember these people. and that was a great piece. that was really nice. it s a wonderful thing to do. up next, what if anything did we learn today?

really? the president of the united states has described it as a cancer which is funny because back in january when he was talking to the new yorker magazine he referred to that organization that wants to fly the black flag over the white house as the jv team. josh earnest, the president s spokesperson was asked about it yesterday, that gaff the president made in january. he did his best to try to untangle the president. the president was not singling out isil. he was talking about the very different threat that is posed by a range of extremists around the globe. many of them do not have designs on attacking the west or the united states. that is what puts them in stark contrast to the goals and capability of the previously existing al qaeda network led by osama bin laden. that is such a load because david remnic asked the president specifically about isis. and he did and he talked about that. i remember when george bush said bring it on to what was left of the dead enders and he said i shouldn t have said that. that is wrong. the administration now to pretend as if they didn t call isis the jv while they flew the black flag is wrong. it is a relative insult to people who are paying attention, which i imagine is you. the president of the united states has to look at this group, this group bringing in $2 million a day in oil revenue alone and in extortion in various points saying how do we contain them. in addition to that a state department official concluded 1,000 americans joined the forces such as isil. we had an american beheaded across the world globally on the web and witnessed what their intentions are. when you hear that reference back in january to these groups, isis, as j.v. it is insulting. right now colonel west said it is completely idiotic. when i listened to those comments made by josh earnest those were inane, incoherent, incompetent. what josh earnest is doing and the obama administration is trying to relegate and define isis in a term or ideology that fits in their national security strategy so they don t have to take an action. we have found out in the after math in our operation in libya where we led from behind and had no plan afterwards egypt and the the uae have conducted air strikes in libya because extremists have taken over the airport. uae and egypt see this as a threat and conducted air strikes in the region and didn t even tell us. you know why they didn t tell us? they can t trust us. that s the problem. i get that. here is the thing. do you trust your government? because we have heard that louis lerner who apologized at the irs they illegally targeted conservative groups and tea party groups. people tried to get her e-mail to make sure there wasn t coordination with the white house. it was revealed her e-mails were destroyed because there was a problem with the hard drive. people came out of the woodwork to explain away the problem. listen to this. the actual hard drive after it was determined it was dysfunctional and with experts no e-mails could be retrieved. was it physically destroyed? that is my understanding? because there was a computer crash? 67,000 e-mails provided to congress. 24,000 have come from this period during which her hard drive crashed and in which those e-mails were lost. in april determined that, in fact, there had been a hard drive crash and some e-mails may have been lost our next step was to investigate how many e-mails did we have and could we find. so they are very clear there all of her e-mails gone. as it turns out judicial watch which has filed some freedom of information lawsuits against the irs were told by government attorneys on friday there is some backup system that keeps everything. it s in the end of days thing where if you need the continuity of government there is a copy of it somewhere. there is a copy. as the law dictates. it s just too hard to get so we are not going to try. what? everything we have been hearing about scratched hard drives and missing e-mails with lois lerner and other irs officials and other officials in the obama administration has been a pack of malarkey. they can get the records but they don t want to. they haven t told anyone about it frankly until we were able to get it out of them on friday. just to be clear. there were backup tapes but too costly to retrieve and we are not sure if they are there. this is pretty much the same thing. who are we writing the checks to? if we can t retrieve it how much does it cost. is it in a vault? is it a trip? what did you know? when did kroun it? let s start from the beginning here and get to the truth on how this all started. the administration says there is no new backup system describes to judicial watch. do you believe that? did you see ansly this morning? i was looking for her. money must be flowing in her account to do two shows in a row. glad to be here. thanks for welcoming me to the show this morning. an update to a missing person s story. 21-year-old luge s rovy has been missing for a week after he failed to show up at college at the university of montana. now a new clue might shed some light. this surveillance footage from a chevron station in garden valley, idaho appears to show his green subaru. he was working at a raft and kayak camp in idaho. his friend and supervisor will join us at 8:15. thousands gathering paying final respects to michael brown. family, friends, celebrities and even strangers among the crowd there. the reverend al sharpton delivering a wild speech criticizing police and calling for justice. tomorrow the grand jury is set to resume hearing that evidence. as the fbi interviews witnesses as part of a justice department investigation. a united airlines flight heading from newark to denver forced to make a landing in chicago after a fight over leg room. a passenger used a banned knee defender device to stop the woman in front of him from reclining. the knee defender locked her seat into place. they got into a fight. the woman threw her water on the guy. both passengers were kicked off the plane. they were both sitting in economy plus which already allows for four inches of leg room. those are banned. don t buy one of those. let the person in front of you decline. the knee defender seems defensive. hundreds of residents in napa, california may be without running water for days following the 6 magnitude earthquake. the destruction may take a week to tally and damages could top a billion dollars. we are joined live from napa. good morning to you, rick. what can you tell us about today? good morning, elizabeth. people still working on the cleanup process and also not only small business owners going through inventory but homeowners who saw devastating damage. we have seen images and i believe we have video of the fire that struck one of the mobile home parks during the earthquake or immediately thereafter. yesterday we were able to get footage and see exactly what the area looks like and talk with one of the owners who survived and barely got out in time before her home was engulfed in flames. take a look at what she had to say. there was a fire in the house in the back of me was burning. and then there was a big explosion. and it was really, really burning. they told me half of your place is gone. so everybody there having to figure out what to do and get their life back on track now and how to sort through the pieces as well as the small business owners we will be talking with the folks here. we will bring more of that to you in a bit. absolutely heartbreaking. live in napa. coming up on this tuesday, the president slams the use of enhanced irrigation. as the isis threat gets worse is it time to use them again? the cia official who ran the program under george w. bush is here live next. and a proposal so big it is catching the attention of police. the couple behind the incredible gesture may stay a mystery forever. can this decadent, fruit topped pastry. .with indulgent streusel crumble, be from. fiber one. new fiber one streusel. smoking with chantix. for 33 years i chose to keep smoking. .because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it s a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don t take chantix if you ve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. great. this is the last thing i need.) seriously? let s take this puppy over to midas and get you some of the good ol midas touch. hey you know what? i ll drive! i really didn t think this through. brakes, tires, oil, everything. (whistling) even 10 miles away. they can see the light of a single candle. look after them with centrum silver. multivitamins for your eyes, heart and brain. now, with a new easy to swallow coating. president obama earlier this month acknowledged the use according to him tortured al qaeda detainees after 9/11. before i came into office i was very clear that in the immediate after math of 9/11 we did some things that were wrong. we did a whole lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks. we did some things that were contrary to our values. that is the president s opinion that we tortured some folks. with enhanced interrogation techniques would it help us now. joining us now a man who defends the use of the techniques, the former head of the cia s clandestine service. your response to the president s characterization of what you did? i take tremendous exception to what the president said. it is very disturbing and it is not true. as i have explained many times all of those techniques were approved by the president, authorized by the president, president bush at the time were certified as legal and were briefed to the congress. so when the president comes out and accuses cia officers of torture it creates tremendous problems for all of us. and we take tremendous exception. so would you say obviously you did everything right. you did what you were supposed to do and got tremendous intelligence out of it. now, with isis, this organization everyone says is as bad if not worse in al qaeda who beheaded a journalist from being a journalist, would you think some of these techniques would be effective in maximizing intelligence opportunities? yes, isis is a dangerous and evil organization that has no problems beheading american citizens. mark my words, if we don t go after them, they will come after us here at home and try to kill us and terirorize us. we have to go after them. i don t think the enhanced interrogation program should be used against them. the reason why is because in the spring of 2009 president obama decided to release the legal justifications for the use of the techniques. he declassified it and released it to the world. and this document provided the details of the program and also the legal options available to us to undertake the program. so basically we have given away the play book on this. our enemies have the play book. and i feel that they will be able to counter whatever we want. thank you so much for joining us. more fox & friends right after this. four wholesome grains. sugar. only six?

how early before bed? a half hour before you want to go to sleep? at least about an hour or so. interesting finding. only 15% of schools right now start later than 8:30 so maybe that number will changed based on this. it s a good move. good to see you. is this a sign of the times?

the emmy s did not disappoint. you are stepping in. were there more kisses? good morning. it was definitely tv s big night last night. for all the talk about big movie stars being invited and the tv academy nominated streaming services like netflix, they really stuck to their own last night. the academy while they gave them invites to the big party didn t get mvp passes. jim parsons won. a lot of people were shocked. matthew mcconaughey everybody thought he was a lock for last night. he was a big part of the program, a lot of jokes, a lot of comments headed his way. people were kind of surprised. what an amazing performance with breaking bad. billy crystal had a heart felt tribute. so amazing. one of the big more popular moments of the show and the highest rated moment of the show is in memorial. last year it was very depressing. this year they did it perfectly as each of the people came up of people we lost this year. at the end billy crystal did a tribute to his long time friend and colleague, robin williams. this is what he had to say. he made us laugh hard. it is very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives. miraculously because they float in the heavens so far away from us now the beautiful light will continue to shine in us forever and the glow will be so bright it will warm your heart, it will make your eyes glisten. and you will think to yourselves, robin williams, what a concept. well said. very moving. it all started last night on the red carpet. we were there live. the big question we asked everyone last night was some of the best story telling is happening right now on television. we asked some of the stars what they thought about that. i think television is kind of like a new film. a lot of people are telling us television is where it is at. drawing the best actors out there? that s what great material does. it draws the best talent. the fact that networks put money behind big shows. i think boundaries are left because you can do any concept or idea and follow it to the darkest place. a great, great night out there. a little hot in the l.a. sun. that the where you are wearing a vest this morning? i figured why not? trying things different. we are bringing the vest back. it works, michael. thank you, sir. worked for chuck coners on the rifle men. he was not nominated. it is 25 minutes before the top of the hour. everyone loves you because you go from the emmy s to that. it is just so fun. it was a great show. it lightened my life in the afternoons after school. here is what is happening in the news. a football player turns hero when he jumps into action to save his nephew s life. star defensive back for the university of california was at his cousin s house when his 7-year-old nephew started to drown in a swimming pool. shaw jumped off of the second story balcony on to the concrete and pulled that boy to safely. he did severely sprain both ankles and will be sidelined. despite risking his season and potentially his career shaw says he would do it all over again. murderers on the loose. u.s. immigration and customs enforcement releasing convicted killers. 169 immigrants have been released with homicide related convictions because of a supreme court ruling which prohibits from detaining people who cannot be deported. ice said they cannot release identity and locations because of privacy concerns. it looks like a top model should get used to the perp walk and not the catwalk. this dutch beauty charged with shop lifting fish oil and chocolates from whole foods. appearing in a manhattan court the six foot stunner was told to stand up straight and unfold her arms. she declined a plea deal saying i m doing fashion week soon. a romantic mystery. police in london looking for a stolen car when their helicopter spotted this. will you marry me spelled out in lit candles. the thermal image picking up the man getting on one knee in a par. police left wondering who the couple was. thanks to twitter he they are. their back is to the camera. we know that she said yes. those are your headlines. brian, over to you. a buzzworthy performance at the u.s. open. let s talk tennis. a be wreaking havoc on venus williams first round win. the two bugging out as attendants tried to swat away the pesky opponent which would not get off her racquet. williams refused to kill the bee and later would not comment. the bee could not be reached for comment. this may be the last time they watch the nationals. a little girl in front of the nationals pitcher stephen strasburg as he winds up for a warmup pitch. the girl was involved in the pregame show and just didn t leave. she ran between the pitcher s mound and home plate. kids do not belong at baseball games. make the kids stay home. talk about crafting a message for new recruits the university of tennessee photo shop rolling stone of him with beyonce. it includes a section on why the pop star thinks tuttle belongs at tennessee. the big question is will it work. tuttle is still undecided. it is amazing what schools will do to get a top level recruit. in the world of polling a poll asking is it appropriate for young children to play at the park alone? 68% of you americans say that there should be a law that would require kids under 9 to be supervised. remember, this comes on the heels of a south carolina woman who was thrown in jail because she allowed her 9 year old to go to the playground unsupervised. 68% for a 9 year old. 43% feel the same way if a kid is 12. what do you think about that? obviously, it depends on the circumstances. if you are in a bad section and have to worry about going outside your house it is an issue. in suburban america or cities without a high crime rate, just normal every day things i think it is a bad message. you scare the heck out of kids thinking you walk out and get kidnapped. i can t go in the park, parents paranoid. with everyone s head down into their device you don t necessarily feel that everyone has that neighborhood watch over the kids. when i grew up everyone was watching. elizabeth was doing this. people telling my mom what i did all day long. you were a bad kid for a while. the irony is all of us played in the park alone when we were in kindergarten. now we are all parents. there are so many helicopter parents who don t let the kids out of their sight and then scare them where they say you have to be careful. if you know your neighborhood. if your kid has a cell phone when they are out and about they are going to be safe. what kid doesn t know about stranger danger? what teacher just get away from them. should be illegal. it criminalizes the kid and the parents, is that okay with you? there would be no satch, no mo. they went to the park alone. they were at the park alone. let us know what you think. e-mail us or facebook or twitter. northern california still reeling from a massive earthquake. our next guest says they actually dodged a bullet and the worst could be to come. and a top secret weapon that could hit any target in the world within hours. it is not a secret anymore after a mission failure is caught on camera. what is that? a a 15 minutes to the top of the hour time for quick headlines. batteries in apple s iphone 5 turning rotten? apple recalling a small percentage of iphone 5s because batteries no longer hold charge. to see if your phone is eligible head to website and enter your serial number. and a photograph shows the moment a top secret weapon explodes. the hypersonic weapon was destroyed four seconds after launching. officials say there was a technical glitch. great. thank you very much. northern california is still picking up the pieces and reeling from a massive earthquake over the weekend. our next guest says we dodged a bullet and the worst is still to come. here now is associate director at u.s. geological survey. we dodged a bullet i understand you told one of our producers. what are you talking about? a couple of different things. one is that this earthquake ruptured and began in the south and ruptured up to the north. so a lot of the energy was directed away from some of the most populated areas and particularly some of the soils, the california bay delta which is a major source of water for californians. a lot of levees are susceptible to liquid faction failure. the energy was directed up towards napa. of course, we saw what happened with the buildings there. you also saw a lot of sidewalks where there was rubble. this was in the middle of the night. we saw no fatalities. we are very grateful for that. that is part of a factor. it was 3:00 in the morning. if it were a different time of the day we would have seen fatalities. it is interesting you talk about how thankfully the energy was directed to the north. had it been to the south that could have been much worse. automatically when people think about big california fault lines they think of the san andreas fault. this particular fault that had the earthquake the other day was the west napa fault. it kind of runs parallel to the big one, right sth. that s right. the san andreas is a system of faults. they are taking up movement all the time. about the speed the fingernails are growing. moves against north american plate. since we are talking about rocks even though plates may be moving slowly the rocks themselves get jammed up. pressure builds up and they fail. there is a whole sequence of faults in the bay area that have the potential for building up strength and have the potential for a major damaging earthquake. and there is an image that shows 63%. put on your professor hat for just a second. what is a straight slip? there is essentially three ways that these plates can be interacting. one is that they are pressing against one another and you get for example subduction zones around the ring of fire in the pacific. where they are diving down against the other. you can get them pulling apart or have them moving side to side. that is what happens in the case of the san andreas system. it is what we call a strike-slip fault. it moves to the right or the left. it is accommodating that kind of a movement. very informative stuff. we thank you very much. i think people watching may have got two hours of college credit. that was really good. folks, you know what a strike-slip is. thank you, david. burger king may be forced to leave the united states because they say their corporate taxes are too high. one democrat slamming the move. how about criticizing shouldn t our ridiculously high rates be the focus. for two years this 12 year old running a lemonade stand to help pay the bills. why is one neighbor trying to shut him down? that young entrepreneur here live next. here i am. rock you like a hurricane fiber one now makes cookies. find them in the cookie aisle. that s why i always choose the fastest intern.r slow. the fastest printer. the fastest lunch. turkey club. the fastest pencil sharpener. the fastest elevator. the fastest speed dial. the fastest office plant. so why wouldn t i choose the fastest wifi? i would. switch to comcast business internet and get the fastest wifi included. comcast business. built for business. sweater, extra sweater oh and this is the xfinity tv go app. he can watch live tv from over 50 channels and xfinity on demand movies and shows wherever he wants. have fun, make some friends. alright? did i mention his neck pillow? (blowing) he s 12 years old, but fort last two years, t.j. has been hard at work running a lemonade stand in his fellow there neighborhood. but while cops say it s completely legal, one neighbor has been pushing to shut him down. joining us is lemonade stanine, t.j., welcome. when did you get this idea for a lemonade stand with different flavors and the location? well, my friends, they did a lemonade stand in the summer before i did it. i figured that was a good idea, so i decided to try it. were you surprised that someone by the name of doug wilke decided to complain and doesn t think you should have this. he says it s an illegal business, causes traffic problem, too much noise and trash? yes, i was very surprised. so has he said anything to you directly? no, not really. wow. they actually we know around, the police went around and said the neighbors were polled and no one around seems to have a problem but this gentleman. what would you tell him about this business and why it s so important to you? that this lemonade stand is a very good business and that everybody else is supporting the lemonade stand. so i think he should, too. right. it s totally legal right now. he s just made a few phone calls. how much is the lemonade and what kind of flavors do you offer? lemonade is one dollar and i have pink, strawberry and regular for one dollar. i said that. and 50 cents for cookies. you get cookies, too. so you expanded into food. yes. i heard you re 12 years old now. i heard you can t wait to be 14. why is that? because when i m 14, i can apply for a bagger job at publix. right. what do you do with the money? i buy my mom and i dinners. i pay for cell phone bill. all different things. wow. that s tremendous. such an entrepreneur. it doesn t get you down that your neighbor is complaining and has hurt your business, cause he says it s very loud and some of the people that come there use profanity. it does kind of make me upset the fact that he is kind of lying, because nobody does that. but everybody else has supported me so much. so that just brings me right back up. we actually reached out to him to see if he would join us and provide a comment, but we haven t heard back yet. have you given him any remedy, maybe a free cup? i tried, but he won t really listen. he won t come to the stand. he won t answer the door. why do you think that is? i guess he s just not really into the lemonade stand, so he doesn t want to join. right. i tell you, it looks like everything that s good about america. beautiful neighborhood, beautiful town. great drinks. what else can you ask for? a fantastic entrepreneur who can t wait to get his first official job. we are impressed, we have some cheers to you today with our own lemonade. it s not as good as yours, but it will have to do. thank you. thanks for hanging with us this morning and hope you have good sales. if we only can get him to deliver. four minutes before the top of the hour. it s the most popular week for beach goers. but this could change all that. a great white shark could be coming to your beach. where that shark is heading and does he have your name on his mind? and they show up for waffles and stay fort alcohol. the new york neighborhood getting up in arms over these boozey brunchers in this video right here. good morning. it is tuesday, august 26. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. they told us lois lerner irs targeting e-mails were gone forever. a hard drive crash and some e-mails may have been lost. hard drive crashed in which the e-mails were lost. no e-mails could be retrieved, was recycled and destroyed. this morning a huge bombshell. they were never really gone. it turns out it was just too much work for the government to find them. great. meanwhile, a flight diverted at 30,000 feet because two passengers came to blows over leg room. that little gizmo right there featured in the green circle led to an epic midair meltdown. we ll tell you about it. a quiet day at the beach turns terrifying when this, yep, that, you know, this and that was spotted swimming just feet away from shore. that s a great white shark with the capability of coming on land. run for your lives, but team your tv on so we get the ratings cause mornings are better with friends. hear ye, hear ye, this is the town crier! you are watching fox & friends ! thank you, town cryer. brian, i think you re confusing the news of the day, which is big out of massachusetts, with sharknado. that wasn t real? it wasn t? wicked big news coming out of massachusetts. yeah. we got a reporter to tell us about that in a moment. but right now, ainsley earhart joins us on this tuesday with an update. hey. yes. let me tell you what s happening in the headlines. an update to a missing person story. we first told you about it yesterday. 21-year-old lucas roby has been missing for a week after he failed to show up for college at the university of montana. now a new clue might be shedding some light on all this. this surveillance footage from garden valley, idaho, appears to show his green subaru last tuesday. search teams and volunteers are now scouring the mountains of the boise national forest for any signs of him or his car. kenneth long was the last person to see him. he will join us at 8:15 with the latest on this search. lois lerner s lost irs e-mails do exist. that according to government watchdog judicial watch. they say justice department attorneys are admitting now the e-mails are likely on back up computers, but they say they re just too difficult to retrieve. the agency accused of targeting conservative groups has repeatedly said that her lost e-mails cannot be recovered. just an amazing sequences of cover-up, delay, denial, even what now appears to be a false statement from the new irs commissioner in which he said he moved heaven and earth to give us lois lerner s lost e-mails. he either lied under oath or he chose not to know a critical fact. judicial watch now plans to ask a federal judge to force the irs to hand over those e-mails. a united airlines flight forced to land in chicago because of a battle over leg room. a passenger using the band s knee defender device to stop the woman in front of him from reclining. the knee defender essentially locked her seat into place so that she couldn t move it back and she became angry. a flight attendant intervened asking the man to remove the gadget. he refused. the two passengers got into it. the furious female even throwing water on the guy. both passengers were kicked off the plane when it landed in chicago. get this, they were both seated in economy plus, which already has four inches of more leg room. breaking bad broke good. the tv show dominating the emmy awards almost a year after going off the air. and the emmy goes to breaking bad . it took home six emmys, including best drama series. bryan cranston picked up lead actor. anna gun and aaron paul won for supporting roles. one of the best dressed, modern family star sofia vergara. with missing one thing, her new boyfriend. sofia vergara said that she didn t bring him because he s too hot for the red carpet. you be the judge. there he is. and speak of steamy, julia louis-dreyfus got quite a surprise from former seinfeld flame. you look so much like the actor in seinfeld who played the dentist that i dated. she won five emmys and had 18 nominations. previous wins have been for seinfeld he was on seinfeld, yeah. she took home her third emmy award in a row for best actress. those are your headlines. very thorough. thank you. meanwhile, we ve got a fox news alert. united states has overnight started flying surveillance drones over the country of syria. this move authorized by president obama over the weekend brings the u.s. one step closer to an all-out air assault in the region. could it happen and did we ask the government for permission? how do they feel about this? let s go live to peter doocy in washington. hey, peter. reporter: hey. the goal right now is to get a better look at what kind of fire power isis is working with in syria. that s why president obama signed off on surveillance flights over syria and depending on what these man asked unmanned aircraft see, the next move could be air strikes. we ve been looking at syria from across the border with very high altitude observation for a long time. now he s given permission to fly drones over syria. this is a step props of increasing surveillance and reconnaissance over time, gather the information, find the targets and eventually i ll guarantee you, we re going to start bombing them. reporter: a syrian government official is warning the white house not to start air strikes unless their president, al assad, gives the okay. the obama administration says they may not ask permission. kind of like when they decided to go after bin laden in pakistan without giving anyone a heads up. i m not going to get ahead of decision making that the president hasn t made yet or rule any option on our off the table, but we re not going to be restricted by borders. we re actively considering what s going to be necessary to deal with this threat. we re certainly working with a range of partners in the region as we coordinate those efforts. reporter: there is a debate about how much of a threat isis really is. the white house says they don t know of any active isis plots against the u.s. homeland, but the house intel committee chairman mike rogers concerned with all the westerners getting involved with militants said this weekend, isis fighters are one plane ticket away from u.s. shores. back to you in new york. all right. thank you very much. it seems like the debate as well is going on between the white house and the pentagon. last week the pentagon, you got the joint chiefs chair, general dempsey, he said that the only way to take out isis is to go over to syria. couple days later, he walks it back. he says, you know what? it s really just kind of a regional threat. what happened? why did he flip flop? ralph peters has an idea. took hem out behind the wood shed and for an extended period. general dempsey committed the greatest sin you can commit in the obama administration last week. he told the truth. and that just doesn t go with them being a jv team or the administration s narrative. he and secretary hagel were right, president obama would have to do something. with a wave of the president s magic golf club, suddenly within back to, where, it s not an immediate threat. so the question is, what would he be doing? so if we do start bombing there, we are technically helping assad who is our enemy and has done nothing for the last 15 years in that region but make life miserable for us and indirectly responsible for the loss of american lives. among the people who are critical of us taking action if it s just willie nilly and without a plan is the free syrian army who have been let down. they say we have not done anything we said we were going to do and that by doing what we said we re going to do now, it would be like tickling them. it seems confusing at the border. that the border seems so administration to the administration, but our own border here does not. right now this imminent threat, there is no denying it. an american was beheaded and it went across the web waves like wild with a message from isis and their intentions to drown us in blood. we actually spoke with the former head of the c.i.a. rodriguez, and he said that if we don t do something, isis will sure do it. they ll do it right here in our soil. isis is a dangerous and evil organization that has no problems beheading american citizens and mark my words, if we don t go after them, they will come after us here at home and try to kill us and terrorize us. so we have to go after them. he handed up the clandestine service. he knows it. what s interesting is the fact with this break news that apparently the white house authorized the flying of drones over syria. we weren t doing it before. isis has been over there for a long time and the fact that just now we re finding out that we re going back because the president didn t want to cross that international border? that is crazy. right. he said there was no dissemination. it was a fallacy to think we could just arm a small section of the anti-assad forces. we put in a request for $580 million to arm them and now we re looking to blow up isis to empower them, so something doesn t gel here. yet what s staggering is we still don t have a comprehensive plan. most people are praying we don t see a double bogey when it comes to syria with this administration. we ve got another breaking news story. the iconic line from jaws, we re going to need a bigger boat, left on this shore line as beach goers are warned of a great white shark in massachusetts. leah gabriel joins us with the latest details. good morning. beach goers in massachusetts clearing the water on a beautiful sunny day after an unexpected visitor shows up. this massive great white estimated to be 15 feet long. spotted just yards off the shore line. the state police called in to verify it was indeed a shark, while confused beach goers had no clue. we re in the water maybe three feet deep and we saw the helicopter start coming from the south end of the beach. the lifeguard came and told people to get out of the water and i went down and i just asked and they said there had been a shark sighting. reporter: lifeguards ordering everyone out of the water for two hours. then the shark slowly swam for deeper water. once the coast guard determined it was safe, people got back in the ocean. at least one person having a little fun with it, leaving this message on the shore line. you re going to need a bigger boat. the famous line from the movie jaws. and while the beach is now back open, warnings is posted to swim at your own risk. there is stepped up police presence as we head into the holiday weekend. i don t know about you, but swimming with sharks not on my to do list. i wouldn t be the first one back in the water either. thank you very much. a little close to home, the movie jaws was filmed in massachusetts at martha s vineyard. yes. which has a big problem now. with the cops there, no shark wants to get a ticket on a holiday weekend. coming up, they show up for the waffles and stay for unlimited cocktails. now neighbors fighting back with this video of boozies brunchers. but is that legal? how many mimosas in that? right. i think you got to cut them off. burger king under fire for wanting to leave the united states over high taxes. but is burger king really to blame? stuart varney is from england. they re buy ago canadian doughnut chain. here is what happened when they made the announcement in the city council up there in toronto, the burger king is buying a canadian doughnut shop. here is what happened. out of my way, lady! out of my way! i got to get to the doughnuts. in a whopper of a move, burger king is in talks to buy a canadian company so they can move their operation, burger king, out of this country and into canada which some are calling unamerican. i think it is also about taxes. i think you re right because burger king is so visible, it puts the focus on the general behavior of corporate america and in a sense, the contempt that they feel for the average citizen of the united states. is this a bad move or a response to the high regulation and taxes in this country? here to discuss is the host of varney and company, stuart varney. wait a minute, there is a new angle. which is? warren buffet, president obama s major corporate supporter. he is facilitating burger king s move. wow. he is financing part of the deal. he is helping burger king leave america, which is an astonishing thing because he s the principle corporate supporter of president obama. ironic there. but explain why businesses are opting to do this or why they feel this is only, if not best choice for their business? several reasons. number one, if you go overseas, you get a lower corporate tax rate. america s tax rate is the highest in the world, 35%. go oversea, get a lower tax rate. more profit for you and your shareholders. number two, this is a very antibusiness country at the moment. the obama administration regulates business, tries to stamp down on business. corporations are fleeing in droves to a less regulated environment. who would have thought 20 years ago, 25 years ago that american companies would jump ship, go to canada of all places for lower taxes, less regulation, more growth? who would have thought? why is the reaction this is devastating for business, the fact that they have to jump ship. it s very strong from american business. lower the tax rate, reform the corporate tax structure and let us grow in america. that s what they want. 70 companies have left the country and gone overseas since the 1980s. how long until somebody in the administration calls warren buffet unamerican? unpatriotic, unamerican. that s what president obama called these companies which have jumped ship. corporate deserters, unpatriotic. the interesting thing is so many people say, the most brilliant investor, the most brilliant businessman in the world is warren buffet, and he sees the utility in leaving the united states. corporate wise to avoid the tax. it s astonishing. president obama got a lot of support from warren buffet when he was doing the tax story. warren buffet objected to pay ago lower tax rate than his secretary. of course, he didn t pay himself very much. that s why he paid a lower rate. now we have the instance of he s supporting burger king, financing burger king jumping ship to canada. that s the closest thing we have to royalty in this country and it s leaving. i m sorry. i got it. i just got it. it s okay. we could say the same thing about larry king, but he s staying. we ll be watching you on fox business. thank you so much. coming up, his tickets sell tore over 100 bucks a pop. but gang members got to say david blane for free. we ll explain. did he disappear? and call dad s little helper around the house because it will launch your daughters to career success. mark meryl and just how real that impact is.
it s raining numbers. that means it s time for news by the numbers. first, 169 convicted killers. that s how many murderers the united states immigrations and customs enforcement have released over the last year. 169. due to privacy laws, they can t reveal their names or locations. terrific. next, $15,000. that s how much oprah spends on water tankers to keep her 40-acre california estate looking green. this as other lawns in the state suffer water restrictions amid a very long drought. and finally, $10. that s how much arby s new sandwich is going to cost you. the super sized sandwich boasts eight different delicious kinds of meat and two different cheeses. look at that. what time does arby s open? that made me hungry. thanks. they say actions speak louder than words and it turns out this could be the case when it comes to fathers and daughters. a new study finding dads who help out more with household chores ended up having daughters who aspire to less traditional feminine jobs. could that be true? joining us is the president of family first and author of all pro dad, mark meryl. good morning. good morning. so the study is interesting. it basically said if a dad helps out, their daughters would most likely be astronauts, marine biologists, geologists, police officers, professional hock you re owe soccer players. if they don t help out, the daughters would tend toward more feminine jobs, being a nurse, fashion designer, librarian or stay at home mom. what s your assessment of this? my assessment of this small university of british columbia study is i have five kids and i have three daughters. i have a corporate recruiter who is working out in the work field now. i have a nuclear engineer and then i have a musical theater major who is in college. i can tell you, the fact that i did a lot of laundry and dishes as my kids were growing up probably doesn t have too much to do with their career choice. now, i will have to say that there are fringe benefits to doing the chores. in fact, my wife, she loves it. i bet she does. let me ask you this, so how can we you re speaking from experience. five kids, three daughters who with well on their way to success. do you believe that there are things that you can do as a father specifically that impact their decisions, careers and self-esteem? and what are they? yeah. no question about. parental influence is one of the biggest things that we can do as a parent to affect our kids career choice. the first one is be a student of your child. watch and take mental notes of your child s natural inclination s in their areas of giftedness. we always did that when our kids were little. one of my daughters, emily, i noticed she was really creative. she loved to sing. so we made sure that we directed her in that area and put her in courses and allowed her to perform, to really work that out. what do dads get wrong, do you think? well, i think sometimes dads get it wrong that they just really don t understand the incredible impact that they can have on their daughters and mom, too. and so it s very important to be a student of your child. it s also very important to validate your children s gifts. not only observe them, but also look at them and say to them, you know what? i ve noticed that you re really good with people. i think you should continue to develop that because that s you re really, really good at that. that s something that we need to do as well. so not only be a student of your child, but also to validate them in their gifts. good advice there. dads across the nation right now are pretty psyched because they don t have to do extra chores, it won t make a difference in the career choice. but it s being there and what they can do with their kid that matters. thank you for that advice. thanks. tell tim no more chores. he s off the hook. he doesn t have to do anything else. i hope he didn t hear that. thanks, mark. thanks. coming up, they show up for the waffles and they stay for unlimited cocktails. new neighbors now are fighting back with this video of boozey brunchers. but is it legal? and the college football season kicks off in a matter of days. we are warming up in the middle of times square. brian loves soccer so much, we re going to see if he can kick a field goal.
all right. damage estimates following the 6 magnitude earthquake in napa, california on sunday could take weeks to tally. fixing the damages could top $1 billion. but experts say we dodged a bullet and the worst could still be to come. there is a whole sequence of faults in the bay area that have the potential for they re building up strength and have the potential for a major damaging earthquake. rick reichmuth is live in napa with how this quake could actually impact the wine industry moving forward. a lot of people worried in the coming days here that the worst could be yet to come as we heard and the wine industry one of them. yeah. wine industry is a really difficult thing, especially small business owners. large wine companies, or wine makers, maybe not having as much of an impact, but it s really the small wine make that are will have some of the biggest impact. i m joined by karen, a wine owner. thank you for letting us be in your space. all of these barrels that we re looking at fell very quickly, you say. yes. it happened very fast. it was 3:20 in the morning. my husband and i live next to the winery. so obviously a loud boom came. we later realized the boom was the barrels coming down. and it happened instantly. and you look at all of this, so you still don t have a good sense on the economic loss for you guys? we re in the process of pulling the barrels out, finding out how much wine we actually lost and as you can see, we still have a lot of work to do. kind of a dangerous process in trying to get this out as well. you have people in here doing this, but there is danger to the people as they re trying to pull these out. you re right. it s very dangerous and slow. we have to be very careful and it s not something people do all the time. so there is not a whole practice on how you pick up barrels that have toppled over like this. we have been hearing that earthquake insurance is prohibitive to get. it s so costly. so any loss here is directly to you. right. as a small business owner. my husband and i own the business ourselves. we just happen to sell wine. and each bottle, each barrel lost is all directly affecting us. i want to say, first of all, it is harvest season, so that s one of the reasons why this happening at this time is so difficult. you got grapes that you have to get off of the vines right now. they are, these bottles that were not damaged, but you can see the labels are damaged. you guys are selling these as collector s items now. karen, thank you very much and best of luck to you guys. thank you. back to you. all right. rick, real quick, those big barrels behind you, if they re not broken and the wine is still in them, is it still drinkable? it s a great question. if the barrel is intact, the wine is completely fine. there will be no damage to the wine at all. quality stays the same. that s the most important part to this. certainly. it s just all shook up. and a great note to everyone out there, if they want to be able to help out, buy a bottle. why not. collector s item. 25 minutes before the top of the hour. ainsley earhart has headline duty today. yes. thank you. a new twist in the michael brown shooting case. a new audio recording claims to have captured the very moment that officer darren wilson opened fire on the 18-year-old. on the recording which has not been verified, 11 shots are allegedly fired. an autopsy showed brown was hit six times. this as thousands gathered inside a st. louis church paying final respects to brown. family friends, celebrities and strangers among the crowd. the reverend al sharpton delivering a wild speech, criticizing police and calling for justice. and hopefully he didn t give tips how to escape. dare devil magician david blane performing tricks for dozens of new york city s most dangerous inmates. the hour long free show reportedly a reward for the high security inmates with good behavior. inmates included gang members from the rival bloods and crypts, guards are not happy. one saying, quote, how the am i allowed to say that on air? all right. how the hell does a killer get to watch a rabbit get pulled out of a hat? good question. they show up for breakfast and they stay for booze. look at this video. boozey brunchers are popular in new york and in this one neighborhood, people are up in arms over the boozey brunchers there. and there is video to prove it. footage posted on youtube shows young patrons hunched over, stumbling, getting sick on the sidewalk, and even falling on the ground and it s all thanks to a bottomless brunch at a restaurant called prana. the management says they re beefing up security, watering down drinks and decreasing the number of reservations in an effort to keep their liquor license. those are your headlines. they re very popular. that s not the only restaurant in new york that has that. a lot of them have the bottomless mimosa cup. 45 bucks and you can get all you can eat and drink. they get pancaked is what i ll call that, thanks. brian kilmeade joins us from the crossroads of the world as the football season kicks off for college. yes. here we are on 44th street at times square. we haven t been here since the super bowl and it was minus 1 degree out. college football starts in the summer. kirk said i ll come do a spot with you. one of the finest commentators in college football. a fine player in his day. why did you drag me all the way down here from this beautiful studio?

you re going to want to stick around. welcome back. quick headlines. gmail users may be at risk of getting hacked. researchers claim after getting gmail users to download an app, they could hack the account with a 92%atl success rate. also high at risk, chase bank and h & r block. this weakness found in android, windows and ios operating systems. yikes. and the government may soon be snooping on twitter. the feds are spending $1 million to create an on line database to track misinformation and hate speech. the database will also focus on political activity as well. over to you, steve. did president obama wait too long to launch a rescue mission for eç-including the journalists beheaded, james foal zoo according to the uk sunday times, quote, pentagon sources said foley and the others might well have been rescued, but obama concerned about the ramifications of u.s. troops being killed or captured in syria took too long to authorize the mission. he took too long. lieutenant colonel tony schaefer says his sources confirm that report and he joins us live from d.c good morning to you. thanks for having me. we had phil balbonioç on, he was jim foley s boss. when a bunch of european hostages, they negotiated the release for them, they immediately spilled the beans and said we gave them the exact location in the spring where jim foley was. and to account for the missing time, by the time the information got out, we had to do our own verification, assessment. and then to put together a planning to in. steve, my understanding is that plan was ready to go in june, early june, like the first before the first week and then it took about 30 days for quote, unquote, the assessment of the white house, to go through it. i think that delay was a material reason why the raid was successful, but the hostages were not there. okay. if the raid was successful but the hostages weren t there, that s not a successful raid because the idea is to pick up the hostages. exactly. their job. but you re saying that the reason it failed was because the president sat on it too long. yes. everything is going on here, steve, is seen through a political lens. let me be very clear for this, you ve got to assess our national security based on the intelligence available and instead of doing what s best based on the intelligence, everything is run through this multiple-pronged political optic of the white house. in this case, i think clearly there was a loft down sizing going on with the mission, but they went with the mission and then when the mission didn t pl, the hostages weren t captured, they threw special operations under the bus, well, it was their fault. it was the president s fault for not approving when he should have. the national security council put out a statement that says this report that the president sat on it not accurate. what are they doing there? just spinning? well, i d like to hear the explanation then. okay. if it s not accurate, then with a is accurate? this is where they always play this political narrative game. they ve got to get out there and talk about it. they re the ones that put the information out about the raid. they didn t want to talk about the raid, they shouldn t have put it out there. sure. what has happened over the last week where on thursday you ve got hagel and dempsey and they re having a very somber press conference when they talk about how isis is bigger than anything they ve ever seen before and dempsey is very them, we re going to have to go over to syria and do it there. then a couple days later, you know, they re really just kind of a regional threat. what happened with the general? again, politicalization. it was very clear last week when secretary of defense hagel stated what he did with general dempsey, isis is a threat, a global threat. they re coming for us. they re well funded and well organized. and then something happened over the weekend. it s like a mind trick. the president comes into town and these are not the terrorists you want to pursue. clearly, steve, there is a political narrative which always supersedes whatever the intelligence is at the moment. again, it s politicalization of things which should not be politicalized. and exit question, the news this morning is that apparently now the president has authorized drones to be flying over syria to look for the bad guys. bad guys until today. exactly. this should have been going on the last couple of years since syria has been an issue. steve, you don t conduct military operations without having a clear picture as best you can establish and clearly there is something wrong that we re only now doing it? they went from one sortie per month to 50 a day now, finally. they should have been doing it a long time ago. no kidding. tony, thank you for your perspective.% thanks. do you like sports and beef? ip &c @&c@ other companies are hiring right next coming up. first on this date in history in 1986, higher love by steve winwood was the number one song in america. the job market may be toughç but that doesn t mean there aren t plenty of jobs out there. from the fox business network, cheryl casone joins us with the top companies hiring right now. always great to see you. goodh;$w ing. who who is hiring?

also they told us those lois lerner irs targeting e-mails gone forever. remember? a hard drive crash and some e-mails may have been lost. hard drive crashed in which the e-mails were lost. no e-mails could be retrieved, was recycled and destroyed. well, that sounds bad. but this morning a big bombshell. those e-mail never really gone. turns out to get them out of a big machine, it s going to be too much work for the government. we ll tell you everything you need to know. i m so confused. and remember this?

that s coming up in a minute. right now, ainsley earhart joins us today. heather nauert has the day off. you re in her shoes. i am. let me start with this, an update to a missing person s story we first told you about yesterday. 21-year-old lucius roby has been missing for a week after he didn t show up to college at the university of montana. now this surveillance footage from a chevron station in garden valley, idaho, appears to show his green subaru. you can see it there. it was last seen on tuesday. search teams and volunteers are now scouring the mountains of the boise national forest for any signs of him or signs of his car. kenneth long was the last person to see roby and he s going to join us live about 15 minutes with the latest on this search. a united airlines flight heading from newark to denver forced to land in chicago because of a battle over leg room. a passenger using a banned knee defender device, you can see it there, to stop the woman in front of him from reclining. the knee defender essentially locked her seat into place so she couldn t move back. that made her angry. flight attendant intervened, asked the man to remove the gadget, but he refused. that s when the passengers got into an argument. the furious female even threw her water on the guy. both passengers were kicked off the plane when it landed in chicago and they were both seated in economy plus, which already gave them four extra inches of leg room. batteryies in the apple iphone 5 turning rotten. apple recalling the iphone 5 because the batteries no longer hold their charges. the company saying it is a very small percentage of those phones. brian apparently has one that will need their battery replaced. to see if your phone is eligible, head to apple s web site and enter in your serial number. i need something else to do. i ll do it for you. breaking bad broke good. the tv show dominating the emmy awards almost a year after going off the air. and the emmy goes to breaking bad . breaking bad took home six emmys, including best drama series. bryan cranston picked up the award for the lead actor. anna gun and aaron paul won for their supporting roles. modern family becoming the first sitcom since frazier to win five emmys in a row. and a moving tribute by billy crystal to the late robin williams. as a genius as he was on stage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine for almost 40 years. he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy. robin williams, what a concept. and did you see this steamy moment? julia louis-dreyfus getting quite the surprise from a former seinfeld co-star. you look so much like the actor in seinfeld who played the dentist that i dated. she s won five emmys and had 18 nominations. he was on seinfeld. yeah. she took home the best actress emmy for veep. those are your headlines. in watching the emmys last night, i was shocked how little network television we watch now. yeah. it s all about cable and streaming. what about our own bill o reilly was nominated for jfk, but he did not walk away with it. hanging out with rob lowe. thank you very much, ainsley. thanks. we got a fox news alert. the united states has started flying drones over syria. apparently until today we weren t. this move authorized by president obama over the weekend brings the u.s. one step closer to an all-out air assault in the region. and by the way, did we ask syria, should we ask syria? peter doocy at the white house. it s going to be a big day. reporter: brian, it s been a big week. the week here at the white house started with the obama administration trying to clarify that when president obama said isis falls into the jv category of terrorists, he just meant at the time that they had no designs on attacking the west. but now president obama wants to have a look at the of fire power isis is working with, so he s order these surveillance flights over parts of syria that isis controlled and we have heard in the last few minutes those flights have begun. we ve been looking at syria from across the border with very high altitude observation for a long time. now he s given permission to fly drones over syria. this is a step process of increasing surveillance and reconnance over time, gather the information, and eventually i ll guarantee you, we re going to start bombing them. reporter: a syrian official, though, is warning the white house not to start with air strikes unless president al assad signs off. you remember, though, president obama said in no uncertain terms that assad must step down. so now the white house is having to explain that any potential air strike would be an american interest. not an assad interest. the incident is no, we re not interested in trying to help the assad regime. in fact, we have been calling for a number of years now for the assad regime to step down. reporter: most of the president s day will be spent going to charlotte for an merge legion convention. but when he gets back, he has a meeting with the secretary of state, john kerry, on the schedule. back to you. all right. peter doocy, i m sure the president will get a warm reception at the american legion later today. you re being sarcastic, right? think about what he s done to the military. think about what s happened with the v.a. are you talking defunding, underestimating, undermining the cost that would be need to do defend against something like an isis that could pop up and surprise us? like i said, a warm reception. meanwhile, the white house had a lot of explaining to do. we ve been telling you about how general dempsey a couple of days ago said the ohm way to take out isis is to go into syria and do something there. then he walked it back and he said essentially, you know, isis is just kind of regional. yesterday josh earnest was asked about the president who said in january to the new yorker magazine that isis was just a jv team. keep in mind, the president just last week referred to it as a cancer that needed to be dealt with. so we were going to play josh earnest trying to spin his way out of that and that will be followed by lieutenant colonel allen west who doesn t think that mr. earnest is honest. the president was not singling out isil. he was talking about the very different threat that is posed by a range of extremists around the globe. many of them do not have designs on attack the west or attacking the united states. and that is what puts them in stark contrast to the goals and capability of the previously existing al-qaeda core network that was led by osama bin laden. when i listened to those comments made by josh earnest, those were inane, incoherent, incompetent, and absolutely idiotic. what josh earnest is doing and the obama administration is doing is trying to relegate and define isis in a term or an ideology that fits into their own national security strategy so they don t have to take an action. if the president was being candid and honest, he could say, hey, i totally underestimated what they can do and i was too slow off the mark and maybe in retrospect we shouldn t have pulled all our troops out. so as fallujah fell, we should have said that s a little bit of an issue. but al-qaeda was on the run, remember? right. that would have been trouble. but he had already won reelection and there is wrong with the president saying i misjudged and underestimated. you can say fdr misjudged japan. never thought they would bomb pearl harbor. oops. that happened. but in the big picture, i think the president has not come up with a plan yet to stop isis, whether it s jv or varsity, and i think it s staggering to find out later that egypt and the united arab emirates had their own aerial campaign in libya without even telling us. these are allies of ours and we re pretty much in control of that region. that shows how little trust and little interest people have in checking with us 5 1/2 years after they were afraid of us. state department officials thursday estimate 12,000 fighters in 50 country, including up to 100 americans joined radicals fighting. we now know this is a big deal. why they re walking it back, we re not sure. why the president doesn t seem to have a handle on it verbally as a cancer. is this the worst thing we ve yet to come and see. why doesn t he want to get a grip on it, many are asking. meanwhile, let s talk about the scandal. remember it was lois lerner who apologized to tea party groups and conservatives that the irs illegally targeted them. then there were lawsuits where people tried to get the e-mail to make sure whether or not the white house was coordinating with lois lerner. well, then we learned that all the e-mails were gone because she had a crashed hard drive, blah, blah, blah, the dog ate my homework. as it turns out, judicial watch, which has filed freedom of information act lawsuits to get to the bottom of it, they were told by irs attorneys on friday, according to the man who runs it, that lois lerner s e-mail and all government records are backed up in case of a government-wide catastrophe. so her e-mail do exist. but government attorneys say it s too complicated to get them out. here is tom now. everything we ve been hearing about scratched hard drives, about missing e-mails with lois lerner, other irs officials, other officials in the obama administration, it s all been a pack of malarky. they could get these records, but they don t want to and they haven t told anyone about it. frankly until we were able to get it out of them on friday. see how much it costs to get the records. chairman issa is saying he wants a close door questioning again of koskinen. i m sure that will go well. coming up, a bombshell report claiming that special forces mission that tried to rescue james foley from isis was delayed because the president feared for his own image. karl rove on deck to weigh in on that. and it s a top secret weapon that could hit any target in the world within hours. it s not a secret anymore because it failed and we taped it. breaking right now, a live look in texas where a house went up in flames overnight. you can see the smoke still smoldering. a charred mess indeed. fire crews still on the scene. at least one person was hospitalized and officials believe a gas explosion may be to blame. steve? in other news, the white house doesn t seem to be able to commit to a strategy to defeat isis. yesterday the press secretary even saying the president hasn t figured out what to do about syria. in terms of giving an update on the status, i m not in a position to do that beyond saying the president has not made a decision to order military action in syria. really? here to discuss fox news contributor karl rove. what s he saying there? he s saying they haven t made a decision, they re still thinking. they ve been thinking about this for about six weeks, ever since isis exploded across the northern part of iraq. they have been befuddled and hyped the 8 ball and they continue to be. is it denial or procrastination? look, normally let s go back to last week. on tuesday the secretary of state comes out and says we must crush isis. they must be destroyed. on thursday we have this extraordinary press conference with hagel, secretary of defense, and martin dempsey, chairman of the joint chiefs where they say we got to go after isis. they re a real threat. hagel says they re bigger than anything we faced before and dempsey says if we re going to get them, we have to get them in syria to destroy their command and control nodes. normally you would take the secretary of state, the secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs as indicating more importantly, we had ben rhodes, the deputy national security director, completely political guy, he comes out and says they re dangerous. you would assume that the president was moving towards that. but then we had search dee walk search see walk it back yesterday. look. they re confused. the president has been disengaged as he has been on these big foreign policy questions. but they have to sort it out. the pressure from congress, the pressure from the international community is what does america intend to do? the military has been cut to the bones. the only thing the president has cut. now we re asking the aircraft carrier to move into the region, continue to fight in afghanistan. maybe take on an aerial campaign in, while putting advisors in syria and iraq. at what point does the military says you can t do this while giving pink slips? the military will tell them that. you re right. the defense cuts have been deep. 19 40s level. yeah. in the process of getting there. and my hope is that this will cause the administration to rethink its priorities. one of the reasons the administration suddenly started thinking about isis and doing something about it is the beheading of jim foley that was youtubed and disseminated across the country. what s curious is there was a report in the sunday times of london that said special operators apparently gave the president a planning to and try to rescue them, but he sat on it so long, the information was stale and when they got there, he was gone. yeah. we do know we don t know the details about this. it will be interesting to see if this times report is accurate. you had tony on this morning who affirmed it. but we need to find out more about t. first of all, we know one of the most perishable things in intelligence is things like the whereabouts of high valued targets and high value captives. so it s very perishable so you need to move quickly. the second thing we know is look, the administration, we lack assets in the region. i mean, i don t believe the administration was completely unaware of the threat of isis, but they were clearly surprised when it exploded through northwestern iraq and it s because we frankly have very few assets on the ground that can collect and evaluate the intelligence that s available. right. now we ve got some drones. karl rove, thank you. thanks for having me. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, for two years, this 12-year-old has been running a lemonade stand to help pay the bills. so why is one cranky neighbor trying to shut him down?

yep. well, kids started college this year, they do not remember that. the deloitte college put out a list to show how different life is for those kids born in 1996. any time that they see wired rim glasses, they say they think of harry potter. not john lennon. and the pound button on the phone is now called the hashtag button. those are your headlines. time marches on. thank you very much. in other news, the search continues for a missing 21-year-old montana student. he was last seen a week ago today wrapping up his summer job as a guide at cascade raft and kayak in horseshoe bend, idaho. he was headed to his student orientation at the university of montana, but he never showed up. this morning new surveillance footage from a chevron gas station 20 minutes from where he was last seen is helping searchers narrow down the search area. kenneth long is the owner of kayak raft and cascade raft and kayak where he was last seen and he joins us live this morning. good morning to you. good morning. i understand that lucius worked for you the last two summers at your family 4÷ busin. when he took off last tuesday, what did he say? you know, he said good-bye to everybody. he said that he was going to take a two-day drive up to montana for college and that he was excited to get up there and get going. so if he said he was going to take a couple of days to drive up there. and we ve got this image from the chevron gas station in garden valley, idaho,$ñ i know that folks were unsure which route he might have taken. the fact that he s seen near that gas station tells you what? it tells us that he took one of two;ñ&ñ possible routes to go montana. so it makes the search area cuts it in half. it takes out the north route on highway 55 and allows us to look moore toward the garden valley, lowman area as opposed to wondering which direction that he went. all right. so they narrowed it down by half. so if he said as he was setting out, i m going to take two days to drive to college, does that mean he would have been planning on doing some hiking along the way or some camping? did he have the supplies did he have a tent or would he just have stayed there in his subaru legacy? no, he definitely should have had the supplies. he was camping all summer, most of the we have a camp ground that we provide for the guys. so they do camp most of the summer. so he would have broken down his camp and presumably had all of that stuff in his car. so he definitely would have had those supplies. i understand some of the staff there at your place is actually helping in the search, right? that is correct. yeah. many of the staff who have not left for their college for the winter have been looking in some of the camp grounds in the vicinity and driving up and down some of the forest service roads where he could have potentially gone off and maybe done hiking or kayaking. let s hope they re able to locate him safely. and he just lost track of the time in high country. absolutely. kenneth long, the owner of cascade raft and kayak, thank you very much. by the way, if anybody watching has any information, we re going on the screen, if you could just back the teleprompter up. it was the boise county sheriff s office, the telephone number is 208-392-4411. brian and elisabeth, outside to you. he has now missed his third race since the death of ken ward, junior. joining us right now is somebody special. ryan reed, we are so thankful that you re here. saw you on twitter yesterday and as brian just mentioned, a lot of talk about tony stewart aft%[ he went intod4 kevin ward, junir from potentially all angles to see what his intent was. what s your gut instinct there in terms of what happened? yeah. thoughts and prayers go out to both sides. that s an awful situation. i wasn t there. tape. but i wasn t there, so it s really hard to form an opinion. but thoughts and temporaries go out. do you think tony will be back racing? i hope so. he s a great racer. i have a lot of respect for him. but like i said, thoughts and prayers. people thought about chaining things, you re not going to be able to walk on the track. is that something you look forwardw5 to? i think it s probably a good rule. i know that tempers flare and it s easy to hop out of the car and show your displeasure. i think all in all it s a good rule. you re 21-years-old, you ve been racing since you were five, maybe? four. four. gosh. that s incredible. you re doing this and you have an excessive responsibility. you had diabetes, diagnosed three years ago? at 17 years old. there is somebody on your pit crew who can do what for you? giti je an insulin injection during a pit stop if needed. that s incredible. what a group to have behind you at all times. does it make it more difficult for you or just sort of another bump in the road? there isnjfw definitely challenges. it s definitely been a transition. i raced before i was diagnosed and afterment it s been a transition, but i have a great sports team withç doctors and american diabetes association, they re all behind me. so i know that i can do it with all their help. it s been a lot of fun. you re 9th in the point standings right now. you re going to be racing atlanta this weekend. yep. you look so young. even though you re 20, you look so young. do you ever have trouble getting on the track? no. luckily i have a hard card that says i m a driver. that makes it easier to get in and out of the track. being young. you have to earn your keep, i guess. some of the veterans give you a hard time? oh, yeah. is this the car you re racing? not this exact one, but it looks just like it. do you mind if and i take a trip in it? go for it. look at this. take a look inside this car. explain here, when you re sitting, you have the protection around your head. do you have anything in here for yourself in terms of diabetic rescue or is it just your pit crew? no. i have a monitor on the dash. i wireless monitor my blood sugar on the dash. we wish you well. thanks for stopping by. congratulations. steve, tell me what you have planned for the last 25 minutes. we ve got a fox news alert. northern california just hit with another aftershock from the 6 earthquake. we are live with the latest on the ground from napa where that video was taken a couple of days ago. then they showed up forsesz wafs and then they got toasted with the unlimbed cocktails. now neighbors are fighting back by taking pictures of the boozey brunchers. sounds like i ve had a couple. is that legal? fox news alert. out of napa, california, rick reichmuth just felt an aftershock. i m looking at the national weather service. they say it s a 3.9o7b magnitude american canyon, california. exactly. the initial earthquake was about six kilometers from that area, napa valley fault line, which is exactly where this winery where we are is. so this aftershock right in the exact same area. 3.9. we moved out of this area with these barrels. you see the barrels that had toppled over during the initial quake. now if anything had resettled with this, we just came out here to be more safe. we talked before about an early warning system being in the works. do you have any updates on that? reporter: yeah. it s a really fascinating project that s out there. there is a way the speed at which a wave from an earthquake moves through the land that can actually get digitally signal out and warnings to people before that wave hits them. so during this earthquake that just occurred two days ago, they got ten seconds notice of the system in a test. they believe that there is capacity that they could give people as much as 40 seconds advance notice of an earthquake coming, which could get people out of elevators, could get fire trucks to be able to open their doors so they could get out of their fire department, could allow people to get into safe spots in their houses. we talked yesterday to somebody from the usgs. take a listen to what he said about how this works. the early warning system uses sensors spread out all over the state and it detects earthquakes very, very rapidly, determines their size and their location and can actually send alert messages out faster than the seismic waves are moving. so you can get a warning before the seismic waves reach your location. reporter: yeah. this is super important, potentially really life saving. the problem is they need funding. they need congress to potentially get funds out there to get this system in place. california obviously the threat of a big earthquake and it s something they hope they can maybe get funding out and get this in place just in time. guys? sounds like it would take at least $80 million, where does that come from? rick reichmuth live in napa where this just had a 3.9 aftershock. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. sign of the times, the majority of americans want to make it illegal for kids to go to the playground by themselves. should a walk in the park really be a crime for the parents? we asked you to send an e-mail. you ve done it. first let s check in with martha mccallum. she promised to tell us what s on her show. who grew up playing by myself in the park. we all did. good morning. big show coming up today. the u.s. has now begun drone and surveillance in the skies over syria. so what happens next? general jack keane will tell us. and the white house tries to back pedal the jv characterization of isis. and the real shark week gets underway as a 15-foot great white is spotted off the coast, when we see you at the top of theño hour. some quick headlines for you. a top model in court for stealing chocolate bars from whole foods. the dutch beauty was told by the judge to stand up straight and uncross her arms. since she s never left the store with the bars, she was given probation, then she told reporters to watch for her at fashion week. and one new york neighborhood is up in arms over the boozey patrons from an all you can eat brunch. footage posted on youtube shows patrons hunched over, falling on the ground and this is all before 3 p.m management says they are working to fix the problem. it s not the all you can eat part that s the problem. it s all you can drink, cause it s a bottomless mimosa or floody mary. yes. the restaurants are trying to dilute the drink. or people can get familiar with their own limits. maybe. but when it s free, you know. of course you re talking about chris chulo. that s a message to you. recent magazine did a survey. remember it wasn t long ago a south carolina woman was thrown in jail because she let her nine-year-old go to the playground unsupervised. well, this new poll, about 70% of you support a law that would require kids under nine years old to be supervised and if they do go there alone, the parent would get in trouble. really? 70% of you? and for the 12s? 43% thought 12-year-olds should be supervised the entire time. we asked you what you thought about that. here is what you said. heather wrote, didn t realize we were so incapable of raising our own kids now. looks like it. i get the sarcasm. donald white on facebook says, i have to say times are much different now. most parks are not safe for even adults. it s not the world i knew as a child. i think a lot of it s hype. mike says this on twitter, if unsupervised kids in the park was an unenforced crime in the 350s and 60s, my mom would still northbound jail. every case is different. remember the mom who said go out and do something. when the lights come off, come back. a college professor said i doubt there has ever been a human culture that ever understatements children than we do in our culture today. one for the road after this. we re look for you. oas÷ before we re history, tennessee pulling out all the stops to recruit a top football prospect. they sent him a photo shopped rolling stone magazine next to beyonce. she s not really next to him. but they re hoping that will help him decide to go there. right now he s undecided. still undecided. junk food sales marketing saying eating carrots is just as much fun as eating doritos. grocery stores creating new kid friendly snacking selections. tiger woods may be the best golfer ever, but he needs to get his game back together and he s fired his swing coach, sean foley. this after he won 13 times two years ago. the question is, will he go back and hire his first coach when he won eight majors but never paid him? good question. by the way, yesterday we had jim courier on our program where we played for $100. jim had 100 bucks and the winner was going to get to keep it. we won. i left it in my pocket. i actually have jim courier s dough. party! fox news confirming u.s. spy planes are flieght skies over syria possibly preparing form s. airstrikes against isis in syria. eric: i m eric in for bill hemmer. syria asking the u.s. ask permission before launching any attacks. repte

the reason why the election will be so poorly for the democrats it will be a referendum on the president s policies. from the campaign trail we will look at hottest races. every crazy liberal wishes me ill and the president has been trying to beat he for years. you are the ones that will deliver the knock outs to mcconnell. we will hear the closing arguments from leading voices in both parties, for the going, mitt romney and for the democrats, senator cardin. what x factors will determine the balance of power? we will check with karl rove and joe trippi and democrats continue to distance themselves from president obama ahead of tuesday s vote. tillis wants to make this about the president, but it is about who will represent north carolina in the senate. our special elections sunday group weigh in on this, all right now on fox news sunday. welcome to fox news election headquarters in new york just two days before millions of americans go to the polls. hello, again, from fox news, we are getting ready for election night when the pollsters and pundits stop talking and you tell us who you want running the government. the surprise right now is how close many of the key races still are especially in the battle for control of the united states senate. we want to get the latest on two of the contests, first, kentucky, where wednesday mcconnell is in a battle elf re-election hoping to become senate majority leader. here is our political correspondent. no couple cup has more riding on 2014 than mcconnell of kentucky, standing to become the senate majority leader but, first, he has to win re-election. he had a narrow but steady lead but is unpopular in washington, dc, he has lashed the more up popular president alison lundergan grimes who casts herself as a new face of change. to do what? vote for the president s agenda, a face to make harry reid the major leader of the senate, the new face for the status quo. i am not an empty dress or a rubber stamp or a cheerleader. she causes mcconnell an obstructionist. she refused to admit whether she voted for rebound in the last election. there is no reluctance this is a matter of principle. it is nasty and personal. alison lundergan grimes is saying aides promote racial decision with a poe to of a black family and stop mcconnell he is targeting our president and community. mcconnell confident of the lead added a lighthearted add. i approved this message. spending will top $100 million. bolt sides are trying to get-out-the-vote in the final hours and there is some indication that mcconnell could be pulling away. thank you. now, a look at louisiana, one of a number of traditionally republican states where democratic senators are struggling to hold on. democratic senate mary landrieu is under fire there for recent comments. fox news senior national correspondent john roberts joins us from new orleans. good morning to you, incumbent senate landrieu is trying to survive. she does not yet have the votes to win outright and could lose in a run off a month later on december 6. so in the closing daze of the race she is pull also out all of the stops to turn her fortunes around. give her three days if six more year. the senator brought in hillary clinton to rally voters in new orleans yesterday and at the same time they doubled down in the controversial statement that the president s popularity in louisiana is suffering in part because of racism. what do you say do people who say you insulted the state? it doesn t me the statement stands for itself. to many republicans including her opponent, congressman cassidy the charge was outrageous. semi- alleges we are sexist and racist. now, that is wrong. she besmirches the people she seeks to r. candy appeared with a political rock for the, dr. carson hoping to win the tea party vote. he said that the commends on race were old fashioned and inflammatory and were to manipulate. i have been to louisiana a lot of times and i feel nothing but love here so i don t know what she is talking about. i don t. if she hopes to hold on to her seat she needs to turnout african-american voters closer to 2008 and 2012 and she has pretty good numbers but the question is, are those numbers good enough? thank you, john. with just two days until the election, we want to hear the closing arguments great both sides. first, the republicans and their last presidential nominee, mitt romney, who has been campaigning for the going candidates in two dozen states. governor, welcome back. thanks, chris, co-good good to be with you. what is the republican closing arguments? why vote if the going? this, really, is the last chance for america to pass judgment on the obama administration and on the policies and the president himself said he is not on the ballot but his policies are including weakness abroad leading to a certain degree to the rise of isis and also includes the violation of the most fundamental promise of obamacare to let people keep their doctor and their insurance if they want to, a policy also of basic amnesty for those coming in illegal and that is where we know the president will head when the election is over. by the way those are policies that are not helpful for the poor. under the president, the policies that led to greater poverty and greater income gap between the rich and the poor. the republican party is saying we will take a different direction and break the blockade by having a republican senate and we will have an increasing policy which means we will have the keystone xl pipeline and we will secure the border and jump start the economy and we will help get people out of poverty and their kids the have better schools. governor, i want to pick up on the issue of the economy which is everyone s stop concern. the president said he and democrats have made real progress since the recession. over the past 55 months our businesses have had 10.3 million new jobs. fore the first time in six years unemployment is below 6 percent. on thursday we learned that over the past six months our economy has green at the fastest pace since 2003. the president now says that democrats want to raise the minimum wage and spend more money on infrastructure jobs and your party opposes that. look, the question is whether anything is going to get done in washington. of course, the economy comes back after recession. the president s policies delayed that recovery and made it much more difficult for americans to get back to work. record numbers of americans have drop out of the workforce. we have such gridlock in washington in part because the senate has put up a blockade that keeps any new bill the house of representatives passes and they never get to the president s desk because the president says no. it is time to pass some legislation and get jobs growing in america again and put the pieces of legislation on the president s deck. we do not and you will sigh the president sign some of them, we will see increase in wages and increase in jobs and the american people will recognize it is time foe action. governor, a way that democrats are going after republicans this year is the same way that president obama went after you in 2012 and, in fact, people now are calling it getting romney. here are demi shell nunn going after her opponent and illinois governor pat quinn going after the business minute opponents. he said that from his own words he spent the majority of his career outsourcing jobs. i question whether that is the criteria we want in the person who is running for senate. my open important is a job el him nature, teaching other firms how to outsource jobs. governor, do you have a way that businessmen who erupting should answer that? you are finding democrats across the country pretty desperate at this stage trying to distance themself from the president and who they vote for time and time again even will not admit they do and the american people have recognized that these attacks on a person s character, the attacks on women, the attacks related to race, these are getting weaker and weaker and people are tired of being manipulated by democrat candidates. these arguments have less and less sway and people are stopping and saying, look, do you really want to see change? do you want do have a blocking of the we gridlock process? do you actually want to have progress on things like the economy, schools, health care, and the strengthing of america s hand abroad? by the way, another issue, the less than competent management of the federal government everything from the i.r.s. to the veterans administration to the centers for disease control and hhs on the implementation of obamacare. people want to see real change. they recognize if you have all the same players, harry reid and president obama, blockading any kind of progress, you will see america going in the same direction. governor, the republicans after 2012, the republican national committee did what was called a post-mortem on what they needed to could to change and how to reach out more. here is what they said about hispanics. we must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. if we do not our party s appeal will continue to shrink to the core could be constituencies only, but, governor, after the senate in a bipartisan basis, passed comprehensive immigration reform, house republicans lost it. what you will see the bills the republicans come up, you cannot get something through the senate unless you have 60 votes and you need a lot of democrats but you will see a provision to secure the border, second to deal with those who come illegally and third to make sure the immigration policies are open and transparent. that will happen. you will see a bill actually reach the deck of the president. if we finally have someone beside harry reid in the senate. we will get it done. republicans in the house of representatives are looking at what was coming officer the senate and saying, we can do better and we pick up more seats in the senate. i can t tell you whether we will win the senate on tuesday but i can tell you we will pick up a lot of seats and we have a lot better prospect of having a piece of legislation that deals with the issue in the way i described. governor, a couple of weeks ago republican party chairman put out 11 principles for what the party should stand for but they are awfully general. on the economy, we need to start growing america s economy rather tha washington s economy so working americans see better wages and more opportunity. on health care we need to start over with real health care reform that pits patients and doctors in charge not unelected bureaucrats in washington, while people may agree with those principles it doesn t president mutt meat on the bone. have republicans made a mistake not running on a more specific agenda? you talk about breaking the gridlock, yes, a republic congress, house and senate will pass bills but will they pass bills. president will sign? that is the test. the good news is in many cases. president will sign them with regard to, for instance, the economy the president has asked for trade promotion authority and harry reid will not give that authority. republicans want him to have that authority. we want to tree trade negotiations underway and see if we cannot find more places to sell american goods to help the american economy. the republican will side it. with regard to health care, when he talks about adjusting our health care system to make obamacare work better, we have oh observe for the next couple of years but there are a number of things a lot of democrats in the senate agree with republicans: to keep the penalty for people who are in part time work from driving more people out of full time jobs. these kind of changes, you will see the president sign. i m convinced that you will see with a republican-led senate if we get that, you will see bills get to the president s desk, he will sign some, some he won t sign, no question. he will veto some but at that point we will find out who is the party of no. finally, as soon as this election is over on tuesday, you know we are going to start talking about 2016 and the presidential race and the big question is whether or not you are going to run again, your most recent comment was probably not but things could change. on the other hand and put this up, your wife had a different and she slammed the door shot writing when asked are you running again done, completely, not only are we done but the kids are done, done, done, done. that is six done s, so, who speaks for the romney, you or mrs. romney? we both speak for the romneys i found that any time you say something different in answering a question, it raises speculation whether it is changing and the reality is this: i will say the way i have for some time, i am not running i am not planning on running but i am not going to add anything else to that story. you are not saying you are done? what i am saying is i am not running, i am not landing on running. that is all i got for you, chris. finally, would the results of this election if it is a big republican year or a big democratic year, could that affect your decision whether to run? i can tell you it will be a big republican year. i can t tell you whether we get the senate or not but we will pick up a lost seats in the senate. we will pick up a lot of seats in the house of representatives, we will pick up seats across the country because as the president said his policies are on the ballot this year and frankly people are passing judgment on the obama administration which they are not very happy. governor romney, we thank you for joining us today. the democrats fighting to hang on to the majority and sent cardin joins us with his party s closing arguments. what do you think will happen on tuesday? will happen tuesday? let me know on facebook or twitter @foxnewssunday and use #fns. and we re back at fox news election headquarters in new york where we ll be watching as results come in tuesday night. we heard from the republican side, now it s the democrats turn to make their case. joining us senator ben cardin. welcome back to fox news sunday . thanks, chris. let s start with the question i started with mitt romney, why should folks vote for your party tuesday? we feel good about what s happening. you look at the economy, you pointed out, 55 consecutive months of job growth, 10 million new jobs, unemployment rate the lowest since 2008. the economy is usually what turns voters direction. so we feel good, the facts on the ground indicate things are going well. i ve talked to many of my colleagues in tough races over the weekend. they re feeling optimistic they re doing well. we have a good ground game to get our vote out. we re feeling good about tuesday. you say, senator, things are going well but let s drill down in the economic numbers that don t look so good. for all the talk about income inequality by your party, median household income is 8% lower than before the recession. 5.5 million more people living below the poverty line and 46.5 million people are getting food stamps, 14.5 million more than when the president was sworn in. a record number of people may have jobs but they re temporary jobs. so, i guess the thing s maybe some of the mack yoe numbers are good but people s everyday existence, they re not feeling it. i think voters know who s fight are for them. democrats are fighting for college education costs, to increase real wages in this country, fighting for gender equity. but you they ve seen republicans use filibusters to block that. you say that but median household income is 8% lower than before the recession. income inequality has gotten worse under president obama, not better. we are not satisfied but we are on the right path, moving in the right direction. it s been the republican filibusters on many opportunities to grow the middle class. we are fighting to increase minimum wage. republicans are fighting to block it. yes, we need to make more progress but it s been the democratic party fighting on mafl of middle income families. let s pick up on the minimum wage. democrats support raising the minimum wage. a lot of republicans don t. let s drill down into that, sir. the nonpartisan congressional budget office projects raising the minimum to $10.10 an hour by 2016, as the president proposes, raising the minimum wage will cost 500,000 jobs. so why raise the minimum wage for some people which means half a million fellow americans are going to lose their job? chris, we ve seen those predictions before by the same groups every time we ve increased the minimum wage, we ve seen a growth in jobs, not a loss ? is the nonpartisan congressional budget office. they were wrong before when we increased the minimum wage. we saw economy grow. when middle income families have more money, they buy more, they spend more, our economy grows. that s been the facts on the ground. and the cbo has just been wrong in the past and they re wrong this state. my state increased the minimum wage. we saw a growth in maryland. then there s and governor romney brought it up what republicans are calling the crisis of competence. a series of issues democrats and the president have had in recent years. let s put some of those up on the screen. the obamacare rollout obviously did not go well. the va scandal, the irs scandal, the targeting of conservatives, lapses at the secret service, the rise of isis and all the mistakes by the cdc and the government in the initial days in the handling of ebola in this country. senator, all this, all this from the party of big government. well, look at each of these issues. we, we believe we have responsibilities. on ebola we see the united states is leading making sure not only our home is safe but dealing with the core of the problems in africa. in each of these issues, let s talk about it. what we ve been able to do is get more consensus, more strength to deal with serious problems that affect u.s. security. on extremist groups, what we ve been able to do through u.s. leadership, through democrats, through president obama, is to get the international community working together, to isolate these problems. that s what you call leadership and that s what we ve been able to do. and i think the american people understand that and appreciate the fact that american leadership has made a huge difference on these global issues. i guess what i m asking without relit rating these, obamacare, secret service, irs, isis, ebola, a lot of americans feel anxiety, feel nobody is in charge. are you basically saying, we re satisfied with the way the democrats and the government, the obama administration handled those? let s drill down on the issues. you have to talk about each one. it s hard to deal with generalities. look at the cost of health care, it s gone done. a number of people now have health insurance. it s gone down. look at the abuses of private insurance companies and preexisting conditions eliminated. we made huge progress. do we need to continue? absolutely, to make reforms in each of these areas. on tax issues, we desperately need to reform our tax coated. there s no question about that. democrats have been pushing for tax reform and will continue to push for tax reform. finally, senator, as democrats struggle in a number of these especially southern races, your party has turned to what some people are call race-hustling to try to mobilize the african-american base. i want to play for you senator mary landrieu, who s in a tough race in louisiana and also an ad from your leader, senator harry reid s senate pac in support of kay hagan in her race against her opponent in north carolina. take a look at both of these, sir. the south has not always been the friendliest place for african-americans. it s been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. tillis even led the effort to pass the type of stand your ground laws that caused the shooting death of trayvon martin. aren t democrats playing the race card and playing it from the bottom of the deck? what we ve seen in so many races around the country, in my own state, when they try to suppress the american vote, a tactic by republicans. that has no place in american politics. we want everyone to vote. we want them to vote for the person they think is the best candidate. democrats are proud of our efforts to help people with the opportunity to vote. in my own state of wait, wait, wait, real quickly. less than a minute left. why does it make sense to tie tom tillis, who is the house speak he, the the state house speaker to the shooting death of trayvon martin in florida? how does it make sense other than playing the race card? i think you re isolating one particular part of the north carolina race. i know kay hagan it was paid for by your senate leader. well, i can tell you that race has been run on the issues. and i think kay hagan is democrats are proud the way that race has been run. and i believe kay hagan will win. thank you for coming in today to talk with us, sir. my pleasure. good talking to you. coming up, is the forecast for election night getting a little clearer? little clearer? our campaign hard it can be.how .to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled. .copd maintenance treatment. .that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. you know, spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells,. you can get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation.n reverse. spiriva helps me breathe better. sfx: blowing sound. does breathing with copd. .weigh you down? don t wait ask your doctor about spiriva handihaler. . . . . . . well, over the years i ve called them the space cowboys, the election gurus, even the swamis but for this election night they re our campaign cowboys. once again i ll have the best seat in the house as the vote comes in. we want to take one last look inside the numbers before tuesday in what is shaping up to be a close election. karl rove was architecture of george bush s two presidential, joe trippi. howdy. howdy. let s give you assumptions and give you a chance to challenge them. in montana, republican congressman steve daines will take a democrat seed. mike rounds will do the same. in west virginia, shelley moore capito takes one. tom cotton is pulling away from senator mark pryor. in kentucky mitch mcconnell seems to have finally built a solid lead if, repeat, if all those hold true, then republicans start the evening with a net pick up of four seats. joe, any of those you want to argue with? no. i would say i still would look at kentucky. i agree it s moving away, but any time you have an incumbent sitting under 50, there s still a chance a democrat could the challenger could take it. but the other four arkansas done? yeah. i think people on both sides agree that one s slipped away. again, never say never but i wouldn t argue with it. that leaves us with eight races. if the democrats rather, republicans, win four of them, they take the senate. let s go through those by various ways. let s start with three democratic senators in trouble. in louisiana, mary landrieu trails congressman bill cassidy with 43% of the vote. in colorado, senator mark udall has 42.6% against congressman cory gardner. in alaska mark begich has 43.6% against former attorney general, dan sullivan. karl, you have three democratic senators, all below 45% two days before the election. does that spell trouble for them? it does. in the modern era no democrat, no republican has gotten reee lebted with the numbers begich no senator, period? no senator has gotten elected with numbers that low. in alaska, there have been 11 polls since august 1st, the republicans have led, sullivan has led in 10 of 11. so, we re saying all three look tough. do you disagree? no. by my reckoning democrats have to win two of three if you look at the this point the highest is mark begich two days before as democratic incumbent. now, let s talk about republicans there are some of them in trouble as well. let s talk about two states there. in georgia david perdue leads michelle nunn by one point. and in kansas pat roberts has fought back, trailing greg orman by less than a point, but still trailing. karl, do republicans lose both of those? i don t believe so. ip the georgia one goes to a run-off. there s a rimplt of 50%. when is the run-off? january 6th. so two more months of politics. kansas, roberts was real behind by ten on october 1st. he s now up by one. excuse me, down by one, 0.7%, to be precise. this has the largest number of undecides, 15%. kansas goes into gravity, pulls kansas look at that. i think were it not the fact it were an independent, not democrat, so he does the have bui built-in. i thought this one has been gone since the day roberts, you know you think kansas is going to the independent? yeah, i do. and i think georgia really is, at this point, a something we re probably going to see go to that january 6th run-off. who would the run-off favor, republican or democrat? because you take out the third-party candidate. in that kind of an election, but you ll have probably 100 million if the snalt hangs in the balance, it would probably be $10 million on each side. i doubt it will be 50/49. my sense is after the run-off, republicans will be in control and if they aren t finally, three purple states. these are states that used to be republican, now they ve been trending democrat, but they re kind of in the middle, purple. they are really close. iowa, republican state senator joni ernst leads congressman bruce braley by almost two points. you think, that doesn t look very good. in fact, it is. here s the reason. a new poll from the des moines register just out today now has her leading by seven point. she s over the magic 51%. in north carolina, democratic senator 44% is happeninging on among tillis. and jeanne shaheen leads scott brown by 3.5 points but brown has been closing the gap. my sense is iowa is gone for the democrats. joni ernst got lightning in a bottle. the des moines register poll is quite respectable. the last des moines register poll was bloomberg let me pick up on that. harry reid had a conference call just in the last 48 hours in which he said if we lose iowa, we re going to lose the majority. one, do you agree with that? and are you going to lose iowa? one, this in des moines register poll should concern all democrats. it is a breakaway. so she could be breaking away from daley. that s why i said we so win two of three states. you can lose iowa but then have you to win two of these three. with so many close race, a lot of folks say the difference a lot of these races are still within a couple of points is the ground game. getting out you get out your supporters, the other side gets out their supporters. karl, democrats are brag that in georgia, north carolina, colorado and iowa, more than 600,000 people who didn t vote in the last midterm have already voted. 39% of those 600,000 are registered democrats. 30% are republicans. first of all, they have four states together and they can flate them. if you look inside, yes, democrats are doing a better job getting out low propensity voters than rhode island. both sides have been paying attention to this. so you need to do this. look deeper. in the earlier voting, 70% of likely turnout, republicans have returned 1,728 more balance locals than democrats have and they re doing it by getting a low propensity voter. democrats can only even up by taking 60%. in iowa? in iowa they are leading. four years ago at this time they were 19,000 votes ahead and they still loss the governor s race, 43-23. context matters. doesn t just look at broader section. do the republicans take the senate. that s really quick. you get 12 seconds. probably, but there still is a path with these ten races being within mar begin of error for democrats hold them. anybody who looks at these races would have to look tuesday. we may be waiting until. little grady who came to a halloween party in dallas dressed as karl rove even down to the whiteboard he s holding there. karl, i suppose that s a compliment unless he thought it would scare people. that s one scary little dude, isn t it? what hurt my feelings is my friend said, he s gout right down to the shoes. there you go. i fear for his hairline, too. we have to see what happens. i had a hairline like his when i was his age. we ll also be back right here 8 p.m. tonight on fox news channel for a special election preview hoeded by megyn kelly and brett bare. what would you like to ask what would you like to ask the .. .heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. the ultimate arena for business. hour after hour of diving deep, touching base, and putting ducks in rows. the only problem with conference calls: eventually they have to end. unless you have the comcast business voiceedge mobile app. it lets you switch seamlessly from your desk phone to your mobile with no interruptions. i ve never felt so alive. get the future of phone and the phones are free. comcast business. built for business. a new republican majority wouldn t mean we would get everything you want from washington but we could bring the current gridlock to an end. senate republican leader mcconnell making the case giving the g.o.p. control of both houses of congress the result in less gridlock not more. it is time for our sunday group. brit hume, making were kelly host of the kelly file, and george will, and fox news political analyst, juan williams. megyn, republicans we would agree, go into this legislate already with huge advantages, an unpopular president, they have a lot of the races are democrats in traditionally red states. there are a lot of troubles. credit we have a bunch of races as we went through that are remarkably tight. highway do you explain the fact republicans are not already running away from the election? first, it is exciting to be here and my observation is, look at the size of the mugs, it is out of the control. these coffee mugs, part hot tub. the reason is, this is not some pro g.o.p. election, it is an anti-obama election. the sentiment against him has grown so strong in the past couple of months and the past year, with you like your plan you can keep it, with isis growing, and i wasn t the one that wanted the troops out of iraqs he sacrificed his credibility for many voters. the reason we have the struggles, it is not we love the going but we don t like the guy at top and john cornyn said it is just a loss of confident in the administration. it is hold your nose and vote. we asked you for questions for the panel and we got this on facebook do you think that the failure of the g.o.p. nationally to produce an agenda like the 1994 contract with america kept us from attracting the critical margin of support. george, how do you answer that question, and should republicans have run on more of a positive agenda of their own? what the question iser is echoing is the believe this is the seinfeld election, an election about nothing which is what the media says when there is a danger the republicans are going to get a mandate, a way of denying a mandate. actually, this is a mae west election. in 1963 casey stengel was managing the mets at 120 losses and looked at all of the rejects and said can t anyone play this but basically it and about competence. there is no affirmation of the republican party in this that we are seeing which makes it the mae west election who said when picking between two evils i choose the one i haven t tried before and they will try the republicans. would it make sense to run on more of a platform like, 1994 wasn t about nothing. there is an implicit contract of america, bringing the regulation overreach and the heavyness of government, that is suppressing economic growth. juan, an issue that i raise with senator cardin, the hustling issue, you have the case in louisiana where democratic mary landrieu kept her distance from president obama but she cops out this week and doubles down on the idea that president obama has a lot of problems with white southerners because of his race.what do you think of that? is it effective? what do you think about it? in general, i am dismayed by the persistence of race and politicians pushing the race button in america politics. they do it for short-term gain but there are long term consequences such as with trayvon martin andthis. you look at something like north carolina, there s voter suppression efforts by the mocrs republicans, so anything the democrats do to rouse the blackn turnout is legitimate. i think it s wrong headed, it su not fair, it s not right. you also have had in this obama election, republican talk radio saying obama is bringing ebola p outla here as pay back for disht slavery. i find it disheartening, painful if you look at it from a in historical t perspective. they need the black vote aggressively. is it true thahat the south is unfriendly, has a history of being unfriendly to blacks? is it true that white women have had difficulty running the south? sou yes.s.ye is. don t see anything wrong, after distancing herself from president obama. m let me bring brit in, you anu i, to put this gently, have been through a bunch of midterms.er this looks like a bunch of t midterms in the sense that particularly with the arithmetic of the states where members of the senate s are up, being more numerous for democrats and so on.me res there s apo very good reason wh democrats are raising the race issue, it s because, for them to survive in their hold on the senate, they need a similar urnt large turnout among the constituent groups that turned out for president obama.of the democratic party for all ths proposed strengths, still depends on very high strength se for the minorities. a so they need these voters to show up at the polls, they need to motivate them. poll. that s why the president keeps talking about how he s on the ot ballot, his issuings are on ther ballot andte he needs his supporters. they need to hike that turnout h and it s their only chance really they v. e th e they re trying to you don t want to be caught dead with barack obama. paneling, we have to take a her. break here, when we come back with so many potential presidential candidates hitting thee campaign trail, is this tuesday just a warmup for 2016? our panel looks ahead as we report from america s election headquarters in new york city. i ve always loved exploring and looking for something better. that s the way i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis. for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there s no routine blood testing. don t stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don t take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. is big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what s up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern. don t let anybody tell you that, you know, . don t let anybody tell you that it s corporations and businesses that create jobs. hillary clinton sounding a lot like people trying to appeal to the liberal democratic base, that s before she had to in a sense, these midterms have been kind of a test run for potential 2016 candidates, between her book rollout, that she claimed they were broke leaving the white house, and this week saying that businesses and corporations don t create jobs. first of all we learned she s definitely running, and we learned last time around when she ran against barack obama that this election is not secured for her. we have also learned she s not foolproof, she s made a lot of mistakes that have potentially alienated maybe not her base, but those people in the middle that she s trying to appeal to. i heard a lot of pundits say that it s good that she got the book rollout out of the way before she really needs to be stellar. when she was stumping in aiowa, she said you have to be a force for women. in ord in other words you don t need to vote for me just because i m a woman. let s talk about chris christie, new jersey governor chris christie who remains under the radar, she was campaigning for a lot of republican candidates, but he kind of was quiet because of bridge gate last week, then he gets in into a fight with this nurse who had been quarantined and then there was this. when all you re doing is flapping your mouth, if you want to have the conversation, i m happy to have it but until that time, sit down and shut up. where is chris crihristie no has a presidential canning dat. this little episode here where he tells the guy to sit down and shut up, such a thing is okay, maybe even attractive in small doses and very rarely. this particular clip will dog him for some time. and it s not clear to me, if you re a woman who s looking to vote for somebody new, this is not going to sway you. i would argue that the person who had the best 2014 best potential candidates, is senator rand paul, he reached out to young people, he reached out to minorities, he s trying to push it in a libertarian way. people often vote for the opposite of what has disappointed them. they have been disappointed by obama, therefore they will not want another senator, someone who s actually rain something. and in 30 seconds, juan, what does 2014 tell you about 2016. anti-incumbency, but look beyond hillary clinton, there s elizabeth warren. so watch that stuff. panel, thank you all, thank you too for being so quick, that was great. be sure to keep it on fox news channel for continuing election coverage, we ll all see it tuesday night and a bunch of other people, starting at 6:00 p.m. eastern, and going into wednesday morning, as you tell us who you want running the government, but that s all for today, have a great week. and we ll see you next fox news sunday.
