so, i take a little meltonen and always takes a car ride and don't drive on monday mornings and make sure you sleep. >> not the grumpiest day of the year. that's when we lose an hour. that's going to do it for us. >> take care. millions of americans set to decide who controls the building behind me. voting on all members of the house and 36 senate seats. today we'll look at the key races that just may tip the scales one way or another including kentucky. alis alisonlundergan grimes and iowa where joni ernst against bruce braley. and in the battle against isis. there is a new call to put boots on the ground in iraq by chairman of the joints chief. is the president likely to heed that advice? tom rogan is here to weigh in.

i'm shannon green. as the president said, his policies are on the ballot this year and passing judgement on the obama administration, which they're not very happy. >> governor mitt romney today on "fox news sunday" his words are resignated around the country. a brand-new des moines register poll gives joni ernst her first commanding lead against bruce braley and mary landrieu is neck and neck with bill cassidy. if the race is being closely watched by political insiders including john roberts, who joins us now live from new orleans. good afternoon, john. >> good afternoon to you, shannon. senator mary landrieu is doing everything she can to push it over the top on tuesday in the face of the latest polls which

show she would like the 50% to avoid a runoff next tuesday and would likely lose that runoff on december 6th. she brought out the hammer yesterday. hillary rodham clinton in a big get out the vote rally in new orleans. at the same time, a bid some people think to motivate african-americans to come out to the polls. part of f the reason president obama is so popular in louisiana is because of racism. >> african-americans have had a difficult time in the south, not the only region, but most certainly here and other places. women have had a difficult time showing the leaders that we are and he read the statement. i don't think anyone would actually disagree with it. that was honest with themselves. >> her challenger bill cassidy and other republicans are hammering her over those comments saying she is insulting the state. landrieu told me she doesn't care about those criticism. the reason president obama is unpopular because of policies like obama care, which cassidy

says hurt many lower income workers. >> when we stick up for those low-income workers, she alleges we are sexist, and racist. now, that is wrong. if she lived here, she would kn better than she thinks we are. >> cassidy is hoping to survive to be in that runoff which polls suggest he will win appearing yesterday with tea party rock star dr. ben carson. carson urged conservatives to get behind cassidy and scolded landrieu for what he called old-fashioned and inflammatory comments. >> i've been to louisiana a lot of times and i feel nothing but love here. i don't know what she's talking about, i really don't. >> democrats are making the case that louisianans really need the senorty that senator landrieu has. she is the chairperson of the energy committee in the senate. john br told me like trading

drew brees for a high school quarterback. shannon? >> those of us who love the world of football will get that one. thank you very much. now to a nationwide look at the 36 senate seats up for grabs and who will control with which party the upper party of congress. gop holding a slight lead and many different paths to a majority. but democrats have a narrower path with new hampshire, north carolina, iowa, alaska. among those they think they must win. chris who knows everything about everything but especially politics joins us now live. chris, always good to see you. >> you are too kind. and we're going to call, we're going to bring that race call back. we're going to recall that claim. >> listen, our viewers know better. let's start in iowa. a brand-new poll. the last one we'll get from the "des moines register" out there giving jodi ernst a state lawmaker, a seven-point lead.

do you think it's accurate? the average still puts her up about 1.8%. but it looks like she is maybe pulling away at the end. >> bruce braley is all done and democrats know it, the republican running for a re-election to a sixth term as governor. terry branstad is going to win by 20 points. essentially that means with iowa having fallen off the table as the national trend snaps harder against democrats a toss-up there for a while and we see the new national polling that is out and the electorate has moved for republican. that moves iowa off the table and it means essentially that democrats must win kansas. they must win kansas on tuesday. >> yeah, because, in speaking just yesterday about iowa, the current senate majority leader harry reid said it is a must-win for democrats. they have to double down.

it is critical, no other way to say it. do you feel like democrats feel things slipping away? so many of these races that are within the margin of error that really, the dust may not even settle by wednesday morning. >> here's the thing, history tells us and the good folks at cook political repor have done this. and have broken down and many good analysts have. when we look over the years back to about 1992, what happens to those races in the middle that are really toss-up that we say, well, the polls are just by a point and just here and just there. well, they flop. there's a trend. democrats have been arguing that the races are not connected, that each individual race and it's an election about nothing. an election about nothing. no, of course, that's not true. this is an election referendum on the president and his second term. the president's failed the referendum and can democrats save enough seats possibly, but you can see the trajectory in the electorate and it will make harry reid probably a very unhappy guy on tuesday. >> all right, well, let's talk about georgia.

that is a state that should have not have been a tough one for republicans months ago. pundits and analysts wouldn't have thought so. been a really tough one. the latest poll that we have out now gives purdue a bit of a margin. is an outliar or do you think it's accurate but shows them up 4% in this latest marist poll. >> the deal in georgia is republicans want to win that outright on tuesday, they're coming closer to doing that because if they don't win it outright, they will have to spend, they will have to waste tens of millions of dollars with 2016 cycle already starting down in georgia to try to rescue purdue and the lesson in georgia is very clear for republicans. purdue won a very acumonious primary in which purdue did not convince the electorate as much as defeated it. starting to unify behind him and you see the rise in the polls. it may be too late to keep him out of the run off, but looks

clear they'll win eventually. >> not all of us could be as smart as you. but a daily dose of your political wisdom in the fox news first notes. tell us a little bit about that and i understand you have something special coming up, too. >> we're excited about tomorrow. for all year we had a pick six feature where we asked readers, you know, who are numerous to come forward and say what six seats do they think are the most likely to pass the republicans to gain a majority or what are the six hardest seats for democrats to defend. people have been writing in all along thousands of submissions and on monday we're going to give the verdict. the final race ratings from the collective ratings of the fox first news readers and we're pretty excited about it. >> a great way to get up to speed before the day gets started every single day. i encourage folks to sign up, it's free, it's easy and chalked full of info. just like you, good to see you. >> i dig it. see you soon. we want to hear from you at home. we asked on twitter, which senate race do you think will

wind up being the biggest shocker for republicans or democrats and tell us why. i'll have a little bit of your answers and your responses later on in the show. tweet us at @shannon bream. they are live from america's election headquarters at 8:00 eastern. don't miss it, tune in. could voter fraud impact the election? a surprising new study claims that 6% of all noncitizens voted in the 2008 presidential election. and many state laws vary from not requiring i.d.s to not even requiring voter registration at all. that was a new one for me. joining me now co-author of "obama's enforcer." good to see you. >> good to see you, too. >> what gives you most concern because every time that you try to talk about enforcing voter

ids and new laws in the book and so many up and back to the supreme court for emergency orders for the last few weeks. critics say a solution in search of a problem and that there's not really voter fraud and you're overhyping it and it's a scare tactic. >> that's not true. i mean, look, i wrote a book two years ago with john in which we detailed case after case after case of voter fraud. just in the last couple weeks we had cases in tennessee, mississippi, connecticut and other states and now this latest study that shows that noncitizens are voting in our elections. that's something we covered in our book. and the voting is such that it could change close elections. in fact, the authors of that study say it may have decided north carolina for barack obama in 2008 and what do we have there? a very close senate race. >> absolutely. that is one of the ones we talk about that is within the margin of error. so, really tight there. there is also a lawsuit going on in maryland where there are some

people trying to go after this saying, listen, we have proof of this and, so, we want state officials to step in and do something about it. >> yeah. in maryland, they got hold of jury forms. remember, when you get called for jury duty, you have to wear under oath whether you're a u.s. citizen. if you're not a u.s. citizen, you get excused. the jury lists come from voter registration rules. and this group found that literally thousands of people in this one particular county have gotten out of jury duty because they swore under oath and penalty of perjury that they were not u.s. citizens, yet, they're registering and they're voting elections. what has the county done about it? absolutely nothing. >> we'll see if this lawsuit. now it's public knowledge. we'll see what officials do about that. there are a lot of states that don't require photo i.d. or different kind of i.d. i didn't know until we started talking about this segment, in north carolina, you don't have to register to vote, you just show up. >> only state in the country that you don't have to register.

while you're supposed to show an i.d., they have this huge loophole in it. if somebody else comes in and is willing to attest that, oh, yeah, this guy or this woman lives here, then you can register and you can vote. remember, they've had a huge influx of people from out of state because they have an oil boom going on there. >> okay, so, 2008, big voter i.d. case at the supreme court. >> right. >> then justice. now retired justice john paul stevens not a right winger, actually, upheld that and said there are instances where, you know, there's potential for fraud and that a photo i.d. is legit in most circumstances or some kind of i.d. why do these states continue to fight and if you're for voter i.d. you're often labeled as racist or bigoted and you want to hurt people and those who would support voter i.d. know it will hurt minority and poor voters. so, where does fact and fiction come together in there? >> well, this idea that it's going to hurt voters, we know

it's not true because states like georgia and indiana have voter i.d. laws in place since 2008. three federal election under our belt and it didn't hurt turnout, in fact, it increased turnout, particularly of minority voters. what is happening here, unfortunately, the democratic party believes this is a way of scaring their voters. they're making them think that their vote is going to be taken away and they think that's a way of getting folks to the polls. that's why they have all these scare stories about it, when it doesn't hurt voters. plus, the polling shows overwhelming majority of americans think this is a common sense idea and that includes black, white and hispanic voters. >> that's across party lines, as well. our polling shows the same thing. all right, hans, good to see you. an eagle eye on things tuesday and we'll see what stories come from that. thank you. well, turning to the latest news surrounding the fight around ebola in america.

the nurse a judge sided with kaci hickox restricting the state's request to limit her movement. she said she's no signs of the virus, but not going to go into town in crowded areas because she does not want to upset her community. quarantining her, though, violates her rights. >> i have had a few friends come visit me in my home and that's absolutely fantastic. on the other hand, you know, my partner is currently in nursing school and there is definitely zero scientific evidence that says that he shouldn't be allowed to return to his campus on monday. >> hickox was the first person to be quarantined under new jersey's mandate for people who have been in contact with ebola patients in west africa and then returned to the u.s. good news for the new york doctor being treated for ebola in manhattan. doctors treating dr. craig

spencer at belluvue hospital is stable. his is the only confirmed case of ebola in new york. the supercenter of the ebola crisis is west africa where more than 13,000 people died from the disease. many parents whose children are now orphans. a local group raising money for these kids on saturday and many others too scared to help them. >> ever since my parents died, whenever i go to my friend's to play, go away. your parents died of ebola. you have ebola, too. i don't want to see you any more. i go and bake the food and go to my school and i sleep there every night. i am homeless. >> just heartbreaking. more than 3,700 children in west africa have lost at least one parent to ebola. coming up, a brand-new update on the injured pilot who

managed to escape the virgin galactic ship. as the terror group executes dozens of men, women and children in iraq's anbar province. how are these disturbing headlines affecting tuesday's voters. a live report after the break. and that old campaign mantra, it's the economy, stupid. is that still true this election? ben stein is here and we'll talk about it with him in just a minute. [ female announcer ] hands were made for talking. feet...tiptoeing. better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.

before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop

further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz.

even without methotrexate. i'm just looking over the company bills.up? is that what we pay for internet? yup. dsl is about 90 bucks a month. that's funny, for that price with comcast business, i think you get like 50 megabits. wow that's fast. personally, i prefer a slow internet.

there is something about the sweet meditative glow of a loading website. don't listen to the naysayer. switch to comcast business today and get 50 megabits per second for $89.95. comcast business. built for business. the surviving test pilot in the virgin galacting spacecraft crash is talking to doctors. he parachuted out of the protoo type tourism space rocket just in time to save his life. there is a picture of him, obviously, before the crash. his co-pilot was killed. his account may be critical in determining just went wrong as the ntsb investigates that accident. more brutal executions this morning. isis militants killed another 50 prescribesmen, women and children in iraq's anbar

province bringing this weekend's total deaths to 200. how the president is handling the fight against terror sure to plays at the ballot box this tuesday. >> isis appears to be a weekend-long mass killing spree that now stands at 200. men, women and children of the tribe closely allied with the united states. the public execution appear to be both retribution and warning anbar province.ing isis in the a key battleground to control over iraq and isis is serious fodder two days before the midterms as republicans continue to make the referendum on president obama's policies and leadership. >> the president himself said he's not on the ballot, but his policies are. that includes hes daens and weakness abroad, which is led to a certain degree of the rise of isis. >> what we have been able to do is get more consensus and more strength to deal with serious problems that affect u.s.

security on extremist groups. >> now, putting this in perspective, the president's foreign policy approval numbers are in the mid-30s. compare that to the last two election cycles and it's a drop. when asked about what is the most important issue facing the country, 43% say the economy, foreign policy is fourth on that list. and there's been speculation president obama might change his ices strategy after the mid-term elections and continue to show that the u.s. and allied strikes are really far from a knockout punch able to stop the atrocities as we saw this weekend certainly continue on the ground. shannon? >> thank you very much. joint chiefs chairman dempsey pushed for boots on the ground in iraq this week. will president obama take his advice? tom rogan is here to weigh in. that's just ahead. all right, back to the midterms.

what is motivating voters to turn out this week while ebola, terrori terrorism are all dominating media coverage. the voters say the economy still the most important issue facing the country. joining me now to talk about the sd state of the economy and midterms and author of how to really ruin your financial life and port fofolioportfolio, econ stein, always good to see you. >> always good to see you. >> listen, handsome ben stein. you saw our poll there. economy top of the list for most people. daily lives, how does it work for or against democrats this time around? >> with all due respect, i disagree with your poll. i think that's what people are saying is their most important issue. what the white house is doing is trying to racialize all politics and they're specially trying to tell the african-american voter that the gop is against letting them have a good life in this economy and that's just a complete lie. i watch with fascination, with incredible fascination all the

stories about how the democratic politicians, especially hillary are trying to whip up the african-american vote and say, oh, the republicans have policies against black people in terms of the economy. but there are no such policies. the republicans want an economy, same as everyone else. that whole idea that the economy is being used in some way to oppress minorities is just an outrageous lie. >> we've seen with senator mary landrieu trying to hold on to her seat in louisiana, comments this week talking about how it's not been a good environment for african-americans or -- >> it's a complete lie. the republicans are every bit as much in favor of african-americans having a good life, i'd say more in favor than the democrats and in some way making life difficult for black people, it's just nonsense, absolute nonsense. they might as well say the republicans are coming down to the moon. it's just nonsense. >> what do you say to their claims that republicans cut

budgets and cut programs that help minorities and help poor folks and they are to blame because they make things tougher on those who have advantages or disadvantage. >> the cuts have been minuscule and much more important the republicans by virtue of supporting the policies that stopped the crash in 2008/2009 from being a great depression stopped a real economic catastrophe. the republicans are the ones who save this economy, not the ones that ruin this economy and as i say, whatever little tiny cuts they made here or there in welfare programs and they were tiny. absolutely tiny. look, by the way, let me back up a second, shannon. what are they talking about? more people are on food stamps than ever and what cuts are they talking about. more people getting government subsidized health care than ever. what cuts are they talking about? all a way to racialize voting in this country. this president is the most racist president there has ever been in america.

he is purposely trying to use race to divide americans. anyone who investigates it even a little bit knows it's hogwash. >> you know the president presses back vehemently against those arguments and those suggestions that the president or eric holder oversee the justice department that they're using race as a way to motivate or to divide, but you seem like you're prettied a minutey ed ad that. >> eric holder, i'm sure he's a wonderful guy. sat next to me on an airplane flight one time and he couldn't be more friendly. any time there is an issue in the law, he says it's racism by the white police. the white police are beating up on the poor black people. that's just nonsense. even if it was true, we don't know if the police are republicans. the idea in some way any kind of incident that happens which victimized the black person is a republican plot, it's just nonsense. they might as well say it's a plot from people from outer space. >> had the gop done a bad job of

changing that perception, people feel that is their perception. they feel targeted. >> they're allowed to feel however they want to feel, but it's basically just an excuse for saying, look, i'm going to vote for president obama because he's my own race. that's what it comes down to. obama has basically said, they're handing out pamphlets about this. been described a lot in the "wall street journal." they're targeting president obama because he's black. you're black, you have to go out and support him. it's just nonsense. the republicans are the most pro-black party there has ever been. the republicans passed all the civil rights laws back in the '60s, not the democrats. >> that gets lost in the conversation a lot. ben stein, we didn't mean to get you worked up. it's good to have you here. >> hawner onor to be here. >> come back soon. >> i will. the 2014 campaign trail starting to look a lot like 2016. a fair and balanced look with presidential heavy hitters or potential heavy hitters popping up all over the campaign trail.

are they laying the ground work? meanwhile, president obama joins the push for democratic comrades. ed henry has a live report. shannon, a very windy philadelphia here right now. might be symbolic because the president has been getting a cold reception from democratic senators. he's hoping to get a warmer embrace for democratic governors. how is that going? full details coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle, see how much you could save. you know your dentures can grunlike natural teeth.ides. try new fixodent plus truefeel.

fun for senate democrats to have the president with him. that is why you have not seen him out there in some of those critical battlegrounds that will determine whether or not he loses both chambers of congress. remember, in his first mid-term election back in 2010, he did lose the house to republicans. interesting because abc news has a new poll out suggesting that the president has reached a new low in terms of his unfavorability. just 44% around the country. a big reason why senate democrats have told him to stay away. but a lot of democratic gubernatorial candidates have been wanting him to come out here, turn out the vote in some big cities, get the african-american vote out for example. the president last night in michigan said this is all about pushing the democratic vision in terms of the approach of the economy and other issues, although republican rand paul this morning said it's time for a new kind of change. >> two different visions of what america's about. and it boils down to a simple question, who is on your side? who is going to fight for you?

who is going to fight for your future? >> even he admitted his policies on the ballot. such a referendum on him, the democrat candidate won't admit she voted for him for presidency. >> those policies and the president himself may be facing a whole new political dynamic come wednesday morning in washington if he had lost control of the senate to republicans. that is also another reason why the president is out here with democratic gubernatorial candidates because if he can't get his agenda pushed in washington, he is going to be turning to some of these governors, if they win, to help expand obama care, for example. shannon? >> very important, each and every one of the state races. ed henry, thank you so much. and we are just two days away from the mid-term elections. heavy hitters from both parties are campaigning hard. with control of the senate hanging in balance, let's talk about it with our panel. dennis kucinich and angela

mccowen. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> although president obama isn't joining a lot of these senate candidates on the campaign trail, a lot to raise money for them, the clintons, though, both hillary and bill, former president are out there in force and seem to be very popular for these candidates. >> i think it's pretty obvious that the clintons are looking to 2016. but as the fox polls showed, 43% of the people are worried about the economy and we're in a great recession. what we have in this election is the great recession meeting a political age because of the amount of money that is being poured into these elections. they'll skew the results, it will be difficult to interpret why people vote the way they do because billions of dollars are being spent to influence votes. >> let's talk about north carolina and look at the average polling on that. it's been a really tight race but democrats seem to maintain the edge, kay hagan up by a percentage point, but the estimates we got, $100 million in advertising and all kinds of things thrown into that single

state. angela, the conversation brings up a good point that there is a lot of money pouring into these races. is it just a matter of outspending your opponent? >> as a political strategist, two elements here that will result in a winning strategy. whoever can get out the vote with their base and who can garner the independent vote. that's how close it is. independents are results oriented. they want to know what they're doing. the congressman is right from the standpoint that people are feeling they need this economy and it is about those pocketbook wallet issues that's going to add, you know, have victory or defeat. >> let's talk about iowa, as well. it's a democrat retiring from a seat. the democrats felt pretty strongly a few months ago, but a good hold for them, we've had joni ernst the state republican lawmaker come in there to challenge bruce braley. real clear politics showing her up by an average of 1.8% and the newest poll out this morning shows her up by, i believe,

seven points. congressman, what is she doing there? the senate majority leader harry reid said iowa is critical for democrat physical they're going to hold on. why do you think she's pulling away in the end? >> senator harkin lead the senate to trto improve the minimum wage. the kind of economic issues that he was able to break through with are important in iowa. i think that those economic issues have been lost a little bit because the iowa campaign is pivoted on issues that are more personal. and if congressman braley is able to bring a strong finish, talking about the economy, he'll still have a chance. so, you know, we got us to these polls. polls have a band wagon effect and that's why you always have to be careful about saying anybody has a race because that causes people to decide, well, maybe i'll go this way instead of that way. >> or stay home. >> the reason why i like joni ernst she's a moderate republican.

she's going -- >> one of the most memorable ads. >> she's very honest and she served this country and john mccain going in and endorsing her, that's an endorsement that probably will make a difference. but, again, it's whoever has a direct message dealing with the economy. and who's going to create a prosperous america for me. >> so, iowa, obviously, a big place that 2016 contenders like to show up. they are campaigning for both ernst and braley this will be over next week and who stands out on the 2016 aside from hillary. will she be crowned queen? >> america gave up queens and kings but let's go back to the economy. when you have a situation where 95% of the increased income in the united states since 2008 has gone to the top 1%, there is, there's going to be a great

debate in america in the next two years about how wealth is how distributed in this country. there has to be an increase in the minimum wage and how we really need to redesign our economy. >> a lot of people think that will give elizabeth warren, a senator, a chance to have that conversation from the left of hillary. >> the right side of the ticket. >> i hope my party can get behind one candidate because the last time we did that, you had newt gingrich going after mitt romney and and i hope we can put our push behind one. i like jeb bush. i think he would be great. >> inching closer. >> rand paul, we have ted cruz, but i'm hoping for jbush. >> we know that heading up the rnc is a tighter schedule, fewer debates and that kind of thing. >> i think it would be great, hoe. >> >> like this one really

in hawaii, a river of lava that has been streaming towards a small town on the big island has stalled. the lava, though, is less than 500 feet from the main road. residents nearby are preparing to evacuate if necessary. down in costa rica, red cross response teams are passing out surgical masks to a town not far from where a volcano has erupted. ash has been raining down on four different provinces. >> that's why we need to expand the train, advise and assist

mission into the anbar province. but the precondition for that is that the government of iraq is willing to arm the tribes. >> that was general martin dempsey urging that we might need to send troops to the anbr province in iraq. but president obama has yet to make that specific move. here with me now, tom rogan columnist for the national review and "daily telegraph." good to see you. let's talk about anbar and what your concerns are regarding isis. >> the two main ones the moral issue in the sense that we have thousands of tribal members, very diverse array of tribes in anbar which is the province just across the board in syria. you have for a long time now, at being abused by isis in grotesque ways and marching people to their death, young boys. killing women. but at the same time, the fact that there is a missed opportunity here for the united states in the sense that tribes

off that local and it's much more moderate. the tribal culture is about family links, not the authoritarian desperatism of i isis and we're allowing them to die. in 2006 when the marines in anbar joined with the same tribes and formed al qaeda in iraq, they chucked them out and destroyed them. but where you see isis gathering that strength particularly taking ramadi then they're able to push towards baghdad and push towards karbala. they can send multiple car bombs a day and politsize and drive it out towards the precipice, again, or to push towards kabala and if that happens you'll see the shia militias go extreme on the other side.

>> a chaotic situation at best. the administration had said and the president said getting our u.s. troops out of there. we've done that and transitioned out. we are war weary, nobody wants to send our young men and women into this situation, but it sounds like our military and pentagon advisors, at least want the door open that we can assist in some way beyond just encouraging the iraqi forces, which the white house is saying it is up to them. this is their country. they have to take responsibility. can they do that without more of us, a u.s. presence on the ground? >> i think one of the big issues the administration has really struggled with since the beginning is the reality of the middle east. you have to show physical presence to generate political support on the other side. so, the iraqi government without american leadership will just gravitate towards iran, but if the united states is willing to say, we're going to get into anbar and put special forces on the ground with iraqi units or the tribes.

get them supplies and they can essentially mobilize a ground army against isis and insurgency against isis. there is risk. it's easy for me to say it in the studio but with special forces embedded in larger units who can take the fight to isis and arm those anbar tribes you can build a sensor of gravity against the islamic state which really ripped their heart out. this is blunt language, but we see what they're doing and connected to broader, strategic impacts. catastrophic for the united states. last time we were talking about how that affects lebanon and jordan. lebanon is now in a really precarious situation in terms of stability. unless you address these threats, they continue to metastasize because the people who are being slaughtered for standing up are essentially, you know, just pushed out and you're left with a situation in which the yzbz chaos just continues t tumble on. that's why you see dempsey

the president and, i'm not optimistic the president might begin to listen to that advice because it needs to happen. >> you have a piece on this coming out tomorrow and let us know and we'll tweet it out and make sure our viewers know allx about it. more than four years later no answers from the irs targeting investigation. how tuesday's midterms could affect how those targeted groups move forward. the irs has never assured that they won't do this again. >> sacrificial alters. how they celebrated the day of the dead.

people in mexico observing one of their nation's most cherished holidays, yesterday the day of the dead, to remember those who have passed away. skeletons and sacrificial altars in many part of the country. some celebrated by dancing and singing with family and friends. election results could decide the power in the senate and also trickle down when it

comes to handling ongoing contentious issues on the hill. in particular, we think of the irs scandal. some lawyers for the conservative group say they are hoping for cooperation. mike emanuel explains how this investigation matters to the election. >> those targeted by the irs will closely watch tuesday night's election results as they consider their next move. katherine engelbreck says the irs made unnecessary, and unlawful requests. she dropped all counts she had filed against the irs. now they are weighing their option. her attorney told me why this vote is to critical. >> the republicans have not been able in the senate to conduct a full-throated investigation. if the republicans were to take control of the senate, my hope

would be that you would then have the house and the senate working together to really enforce subpoenas, to force the administration to stop acting as though they can just ignore the requests of congress. in the final analysis on this, as well as everything with our country, elections matter. >> as for the investigation in congress, that has been frustrated by former irs official lois lerner refusing to cooperate. she took the fifth twice. another niche the democrats think the irs probe should wrap up. >> it seems to me the irs issue has run its course, even on the republican side of the aisle. i think the fact most of the groups were concerned, which is not new information. i think at the end of the day, kind of takes the air out of the balloon. >> key house lawmakers say they plan to intend the probe in the new congress.

they maintain with a republican majority in the senate they could put more heat on the tax collection agency to cooperation. who's going to be the biggest upset in tuesday's election? we have your twitter responses in three minutes. my favorite bar, hands down. from the makers of metamucil, new multi health meta health bars have natural psyllium fiber that helps promote heart health, with a taste that consumers prefer. would you like one of these instead? yummy! thanks! experience the meta effect, with our new multi health wellness line. and see how one small change can lead to good things. there are more reasons than ever why now is the best time to be on verizon. one: verizon's the largest, most reliable 4g lte network
