thank you so much for joining us, everybody. >> america's election headquarters, starts now. >> thank you, john and jenna. we start with this fox news alert p a state department briefing that is quite tense is under way right now. there are new concerns about potential quid pro quo between hillary clinton's state department and the fbi that is being discussed in this room. catherine herridge is in the room and we will bring that to you live. martha, in las vegas. 22 days from eet location. the fbi today releasing documents this morning. from the clinton e-mail investigation. those documents show that a senior state department official, the classification on one of hillary clinton's e-mails stripped, confidential taken off of it, he requested, according

to to this report and in exchange suggesting there would be professional opportunities abroad for certain fbi agents. a state department official telling the fbi that would grab her blackberry, another element of it, and would take it to a nonfcif, a sensitive compartmentalized information facility, and she would take her phone to another room it make calls. why would she do that? a senior legal fellow at heritage, welcome, good to have you with us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> let's get through some of this. the first one is this suggestion that an fbi agent was offered from state some nice overseas positions perhaps for fbi agents in return for just taking that classified marking off of, you know, just a few e-mails. what do you think?

>> well, the problem theres that there's a potential violation of two statutes. section 1510 of the federal criminal code says that it's obstruction of justice if you bribe or otherwise try to influence someone like a federal agent in a criminal investigation. and second there's another statute, 1519 of the criminal code that says, you are guilty of obstruction if you attempt to destroy or alter, alter documents in evidence that are the subject of a criminal investigation. and if the fbi agent was interviewed is to be believed, that's what seemed to be happening here. >> you know, i guess that's one of the important questions that needs to be resolved because we are just watching this briefing with the state department press secretary who is basically saying, you know, they don't believe that happened. catherine herridge is in there questioning, as i said. we will talk to her in a little

while. here are statements from earlier today. let's watch. >> there is strong evidence to believe that mrs. clinton's, one of her senior aides from the state department, patrick kennedy, offered a bribe to an fbi agent or group of fbi agent to change the classified markings on documents after they had been subpoenaed and after they had been surrendered. and in return for that change, offered or suggested the availability and at least bribe offers are never that precise, not in writing, but offered the availability of cushy overseas assignments for fbi agents. >> now patrick kennedy is the name that has been connected to this. if indeed this turns out to be a quid pro quo, literally the words used in this fbi document to explain what happened, what should happen to patrick kennedy? >> well, at the very least, he should be immediately terminated

from the state department for cause. and that point, frankly, the justice department needs to evaluate whether he should be investigated and prosecuted for doing this. i doubt you're going to get that from this justice department. but that's what would happen if it was any other kind of official that wasn't connected with this investigation. >> all right. let's listen to mark toner moments ago in this room. here it is. >> so the allegation of any kind of quid pro quo is inaccurate and does not align with the facts. so there was no quid pro quo. and i would note first of all, that fbi, i think this past weekend, put out a statement that there was any kind of quid pro quo. >> so given that statement, what needs to happen here? are you doing an investigation of the going back and forth between the state department and fbi? because we need to know what

truth is here. >> well, listen. the most critical witness in any kind of bribery or obstruction of justice case is the witness who who is actually offered the bribe. and it is the witness in this case, the manager of the fbi's record department who said, and used the word, he was offered a quid pro quo. so the most crucial witness is the one who says that's what happened. and that needs to be investigated. the fact the fb i didn't get into it doesn't mean it is not a crime. >> yes. and you know, just saying that it didn't happen in a news conference is not enough. obviously there needs to be more investigation into what happened here. in terms of the blackberry used by secretary clinton, taken it out of the secure environment and making calls and sending e-mails from it, what of that? >> that's just more evidence of the fact that she did not take seriously her duty to protect

classified materials. whole purpose of that procedure is to make sure that there's no eavesdropping, no interception of any messages that she takes. which foreign embassies in this city, washington, d.c., try to do all the time. gross negligence at the very least. >> hans, thank you very much. all right. so the white house today respond together latest 2016 election developments including donald trump's accusations that the presidential race is in his mind being rigged. kevin is live at the white house today. kevin, you were just in a press briefing. this issue came up. probably no more fundamental issue to our democratic process than making sure we have free and fair elections. what's the reaction to the white house? >> spot on analysis, martha. good day to you there. let me make it simple for the folks at home. white house says there is very little in fact virtually zero clans that the election can be

altered by election rigging or voter fraud. let's be blunt, we've heard examples of this, right? dating back to 2008. dead people voting. we've heard stories of absentee ballots all coming in for one particular candidate. more than registered voters in a given state. donald trump feels like there is a chance there could be major voter fraud going on in 2016. let me share just a bit of a tweet that he sent out this morning. he said of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. why do republican leaders deny what is going on? so naive. i asked specifically that question today and the white house press secretary briefing. josh earnest telling me this about the white house's concerns about voter fraud. >> not at all. neither is mike pence who is the second highest ranking official of the trump campaign. neither is paul ryan if you plef the spokesperson.

the president is very apparent in the honesty in the election of both parties in states all across the country to ensure this upcoming national election is conducted freely and fairly. >> now something pretty interesting in that exchange that i had with josh today, martha. he talked about a number of the so-called battle ground states. he mentioned a number of them and the ones he talked about at republican governors at the helm. he said, if they can't manage, who else could manage to make sure there is not voter proud to in this particular case. martha? >> what are other republicans saying about this issue? >> yes, you heard josh allude to it for a moment. paul ryan is saying we're not wore worried about it. mike pence is saying this is not an issue. but i think is fair it suggest when have you large number of be a tabsentee, especially in georgia, north carolina and notably state of florida.

you know how often florida ends up being the last one to get all of the ballots counted and collected, there are republicans that are concerned about those but but they aren't making any broad statements, just watching carefully right now. >> they are responding to actual voter fraud at the polling place for messing with ballots and donald trump's other side of the story that he believes that so much of the press has been supportive of hillary clinton or not picking up on some of these stories like wiblgy leaks that is another element to how he sees this process as being somewhat rigged -- >> and poll watchers too. absolutely. >> yes. more watchers can't be a bad thing. all right, kevin. thank you very much. another big story right now mp middle east, russia's military announcing a temporary cease-fire in aleppo, syria that is to begin this thursday. russian and syrian forces preparing a quote humanitarian pause to halt the fighting from

8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. allowing civilian is and rebels safe passage out of what has become an absolute nightmare war zone. last time they did a humanitarian pause they bombed a convoy coming in. we will see what happens. a must set of sanctions against russia and syria as conditions grow more dire by the day. secretary john kerry calling this situation the largest humanitarian disaster since world war ii. we have a live report from the region later in the show. so far at least 1.5 million people have already cast their ballots in this election. we can't tell how they voted. but we can tell you which way some of the voting states appear to be leaning based on what democrats ear republicans are showing up and sending in ballots so far. also, later this afternoon as iraqi forces move on mosul, a huge story, major battle.

as it gets under way. we will take a quick break and be right back with more. from america's election headquarters in las vegas. when you have type 2 diabetes, there's a moment of truth. and now with victoza® a better moment of proof. victoza lowers my a1c and blood sugar better than the leading branded pill, which didn't get me to my goal. victoza® works with your body to lower blood sugar in three ways: in the stomach, the liver, and the pancreas. and while it isn't for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. non-insulin victoza® comes in a pen and is taken once a day.

key testimony today in the trial of a georgia man accused of murdering his own son by leaving the toddler locked in a hot car on a 90-degree day. prosecutors argue that justin harris did that in june of 2014 to avoid family responsibilities so that he could make more time for pursuing his personal love affairs. taking the stand today a former escort who says she had sex with harris as well as a woman who

says harris sexted her when she was underage. harris's son, cooper, was found dead two years ago in the back of an suv in the parking lot on a hot summer day. back here live in las vegas, just two days away from this very big moment in the presidential process. last presidential debate. early voting data is starting to roll in. plenty of people have already voted. as of this hour 1.4 million americans are done with the voting process. they have cast their ballots and from what we are seeing so far the numbers show that donald trump is set to do better in battle ground states of iowa and ohio than mitt romney did in those states in 2012. let's dig into some of these numbers. dr. michael mcdonald worked to gather those numbers. he is an associate professor at university of florida. welcome. good to have you here today. >> great to be with you. >> when you look at these

numbers, 1 p.4 million, you don know who they voted for but you know what party they are affiliated with and that gives you an idea. >> yes, we know who they voted for by party registration. others, may have age, race or gender and we can look at those clues as well. >> as we pointed out in the introduction, ohio and iowa where donald trump is doing better, i don't know what this gets you in the end. if he wins those states bigger than mitt romney did, he will win those states. and win the electoral states, right? >> yes. it is very interesting election that we've got going on here. usually when we see the election move, it moves all in one direction. all at the same time. so think like 2008 with obama winning places like indian and another carolina which were at the time not places would you expect democrats to do well. this is different seeing

strength this clinton in places like north carolina again, florida, virginia. if these states are moving in the direct of the democrats we are seeing direction in the movement of republicans in the midwest in places like iowa and ohio. very fascinate eeg location. . >> it is. as you look across electoral history. and to the viewers as well, you can see the shifts. when the south moves from republican to democratic. you see these sort of a wide juncture across the course of history. while you answer that, let's pull up southern states. hillary clinton appears to be doing better in those states than barack obama did in 2012. >> yeah. absolutely. so again, a fascinating example. is this a long-term adjustment which political scientists like myself call this a realigning election or is this a defating election, one off on this particular election cycle.

we will have to wait and see. but it is curious to see these divergent patterns throughout the country that could spell fundamental changes in our politics. >> you say they are also broken down by gender and you saw a surge of women requesting absentee ballots after that first debate. what does that tell you? >> yeah. two states. north carolina and georgia where i have individual level data by gender. people who have requested and returned their absentee ballots. i can see in that week following the first presidential debate, there was a surge in women who are requesting their absentee ballots. now just a small surge and in the big scheme of things, millions of votes innes this states. and maybe thousands of people engaged in requesting absentee ballots. but it is interesting to see that sort of effect where a campaign event happens and you can see voters respond to those events. >> that of course is in the wake

of the videotape that came out and subsequent allegations as whether, whether or not there is a link between the two things. but let me ask you a quick florida question. because it shows how many democrats and republicanes have voted in be vote absentee ballots. republicans say they believe there is a lot of thigh trump vote, democrats crossing over. any indication that that's >> i understand. all we can look at at this point are the party registration of the the people voting. usually the republicans have about a 3 percentage point lead, that's what they had in 2012 and absentee ballots in florida. right now out of half a million votes cast so far, returned to election officials. republicans lead by 34. that's very interesting. i think there are things we need to see that shake out because of areas hit by the hurricane that doesn't break rate as much as

they did in 2012. we need to be cautious on those numbers. >> interesting steps, michael. thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> so oversees, long awaited battle for mosul which we've been hearing about for months is now full under way. as the president of iraq says that that offensive has started in earnest. iraqi and kurdish forces backed by u.s. air strikes trying to drive isis fighters from this key northern city. we will show you what's going on on the ground. the latest on the strategy. so much at stake in the fight against isis. when we come back.

. back on location in las vegas. a father and son charged in the fatal shooting. police say men in two cars exchanged fire outside a restaurant in lexington, kentucky early sunday morning. a stray bullet hit 15-year-old trinity gay in the neck. her father, tyson gay, is an olympic medallist and currently holds gold for 100 meters. trinity is on the track team in lexington. what a tragic story. back to iraq as they launch a wide scale military push to reclaim the northern city of mosul from isis. thousands of iraqi and kurdish

troops moving into position along the front lines as coalition air strikes pound isis defenses. john is live in our mideast bur bureau with an update. john? >> martha, good afternoon. so much is at stake, the battle for mosul is nearly a year in the making and likely to be the largest and bloodiest battle against isis in iraq and likely to last weeks, if not months, according to iraqi commanders. if you look at map, the last isis strong hold in iraq and country's second largest city. about 240 miles roughly north of baghdad. this is a critical fight and strategic one for iraqi and the forces and really for the united states as well for that matter. u.s. troops special forces have been on the ground and helping to train and advise iraqi and

peshmerga forces and the u.s., as we know, has been leading coalition air strikes against isis and will continue, according to u.s. commanders. listen. >> we have trained and equipped more than 54,000 iraqi forces and supported our iraqy partners as they fought to liberate their country. we provide our support. we will continue to use precision to actively attack the enemy and minimize the impact on innocent civilians. >> that said, estimated 1 million people remain trapped in mosul. martha, there is great concern and grave concern about people trying to escape. hundreds of thousands of refugees trying to get out of mosul and of course as we have seen in the past there's always great concern about isis using civilians, men, women and children as human shields. martha, back to you. >> john, we'll be watching.

empire state building. maybe that can be fixed before we come back tomorrow. all right, so two days before the final presidential debate in las vegas. that's why we're here. 22 days before the election. new polls brand-new today showing tight races in three battle ground states. let's look at these cnn roc polls. trump ahead by 4 point in ohio, 48-44. then north carolina, a must-win for donald trump. and they are neck and neck. 48-47. well within the margin of error. nevada as well which is another one in the path to victory for donald trump. has to pull that off if he has any hope of winning. tight as well. inside the margin of error, 46-44 in nevada. as we say in nevada. and joining us now, took mae while to get that right over the years, but -- >> you better say it right or they will get cross. >> i tell what you, exactly.

for. >> so what do you make of these new numbers? >> that's a poll that says donald trump is still strong in ohio. good news for donald trump. because he has his connection with blue collar white voters. outperforming previous republican nominees in ohio and is doing a good job there. but the polling picture is not good for donald trump. another bad week when you get right down to it and he needs this debate to shift this election. when he gets to las vegas, hillary clinton needs nothing to change. all hillary clinton wants out of this election is for everything to change. donald trump goes into las vegas needing to change the direction of this election. >> there couldn't be more at stake for donald trump. pretty much a lousy ten days with all these accusations flying at him and letting them dominate his own narrative about what is going on. he needs to stick it and turn, right? >> right. >> and he does best. we have seen whether it is through focus groups or polling

or through anecdotal evidence, he is on his best when he is on the issues and attacking hillary clinton saying you've been office for 30 years, you haven't changed anything. what about trade? what about the economy in what about isis? none of those things are either a calling his accusers too ugly to assault. >> bad move. >> that election is so rigged that the outcome is fraudulent. none of those things help him. what would help him is if he could focus on hillary clinton's weaknesses, not his own. >> like spinning tires on your dirt bike and you're not going anywhere. and you just keep digging in deeper. >> all right. >> thank you. so let's take a look at the koch brothers and what they are doing. they are putting their money to work but not in the way the top tier of this general election might want it to be. all about the next part of the ballot. the down ballot as we call it. working the streets, literally, door to door in ohio, pennsylvania and north carolina.

not the kochs themselves going door to door but they have people going door to door for them. >> they've got a guy. >> and they tell the people, don't talk about trump or clinton, we are more interested in senate and house races. >> we are see an astonishing decoupling and something we isn't haven't seen in a long time, which is the revenge of ticket splitters, people voting for hillary clinton at the top of the ticket and senate candidates. there is opportunity for go that even if she is moving closer to victory that they can inspire people to say, don't give her a blank check. you need to check on her and you maybe even get democrats or leading independents to cross over and vote for leading candidates. >> i think that's one of the biggest of the election. people who cross over and vote for clinton who are republicans, are going to vote the rest of the ballot republican because they want check and balances in washington. here is john beecham talking about someone who he believes

will do exactly that. watch. >> it is clear that bush 41 will cast his first vote ever for a democrat and for man chairman of the republican national committee, ronald reagan's vice president and president of the united states, that tells you something. >> tells you something, chris. >> sad they make brian sit in the room by himself. >> not the best video. >> he is a good guy. i don't know why he can't have -- like panda cam. no. meacham makes a good point. the future of the republican party isn't a republican party that looks like george h.w. bush. that's why they play the game. we're getting ready to find out. >> a lot of hurt feelings over the treatment of jeb bush by donald trump and the bush family is having none of that, obviously.

all right, chris, you add thought. >> i also imagine that george h.w. bush hates donald trump's policies in addition. >> good point. see you later. get here to vegas. fox news alert as early voting is under way in georgia. take a look at lines. people are lined up thon beautiful day. might be cold and nasty on november 8, so why not vote today in georgia. in the 2012 election almost half of the ballots in georgia were cast before election day. as hillary clinton widens her lead in a new npoll, tripling her lead over donald trump in three week's time. a new number we've got works opposite in some other number answers the break down of those battle ground states we just looked at with chris. shannon breem is live in washington. what do we know about this,

shannon? >> reporter: here is what we know. georgia is a hot spot. they started their voting today and recent average of polls there showing trump is up more than 5 percentage points. way too close for comfort for the gop. they are working really hard fighting for this early vote. we started today and hear the lines are epic. as you mentioned in 2012 almost half of the ballots cast in georgia were cast before election day. almost 2 million. georgia's one of 37 states allowing some form of early voting. this year the clinton campaign argues it is cutting into early gop leads. not only in georgia but also north carolina and florida. trump has to hold on to those states to have any shot at the white house. the trump campaign says it is highlighting iowa where absentee ballots have been outpacing democrats in ohio with performances are lagging behind the 2012 numbers they had four years ago, about a third of all voters casting ballots before election day and some analysts predict we could get to 40% this year. >> changes the dynamic in a big

way. as we head into the home stretch, you are hearing from our viewers about their votes and how they can get involved in our coverage. >> exactly. and it is really simple. we want to see what you are doing in the voting process. if you take your kids out to vote or load them up in the car, we have great pictures of people taking their kids in last year in places where it was legal it take a photo inside. a lot of places it's not. even if you want to show us your "i voted" sticker, and a lot of people are using the hashtag vote 2016. sylvia is showing us she is sending in her ballot by mail. she is proud to say she voted for trump. linda showed us her sticker. you that is safe, can you do that. and we were touched by this one. my son registered to vote. he has autism. so proud to have come so far. there he is, signing up to he can cast his ballot this year.

is we will also look at claims of voter fraud in past presidential elections. that's the top of the hour and shepard smith reporting. see you then. >> all right, thanks. wikileaks says that julian assange's internet link was severed bay mysterious state party. the organization has steadily been releasing thousands of e-mails potentially hurtful for the clinton campaign. so we finally have transcripts of hillary clinton's speeches po wall street, something bernie sanders wanted in the primary. might have been helpful if he had gotten them. there are embarrassing details for clintons both at home and abroad. >> no doubt about it. martha, look, in terms of the left progressive beeb being upset in the wall street transcripts leaking out from wikileaks. hillary clinton more cozy with

wall street than suggested in the primaries with bernie sanders when she said she wanted to crack down on wall street. and also very cozy with the rich people in the room for those speeches saying she thinks there's a bias against successful people who make a lot of money. that's something donald trump might be surprised in the debates he heard hillary clinton go after his record as a businessman. here she said in one of the speeches in 2013 quote i would like to see more successful business people run for office. you don't have to have $30 billion but you have a certain level of freedom basically when have you that much money. then in an e-mail to john podesta when you talk about trouble around the world, she talks -- first she said it is important that people with those experiences come in public light success gives you help in a lot of political situations but in terms of dealing with foreign policy she said the u.s. government could do more to deal with isis. we could use more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of

qatar and saudi arabia to bring support to radical sunni groups and others groups in the region. and there was a check on a birthday a couple years earlier to go to the clinton foundation. >> and behooves her to keep the thoughts along those lines more private than public and it is also revealed that there is division in the clinton family over the clinton foundation. what about that? >> another e-mail emerging that basically said that a couple years guy there was an audit of the clinton foundation suggesting maybe there were quid pro quo business deals. this was sparked in part by the fact that chelsea clinton was take awning a bigger role at the foundation and her whis whispers

that clinton intimate maybe trading on the clinton name. that sparked this review. doug ban none too happy about that saying in one e-mail in 2012 we have quote as we say the apple doesn't fall far. a kiss on the cheek while she is sticking a knife in the back and front. those are words to singe no doubt. insider details that the clintons never wanted out there. >> yeah. boy. just imagine what it is like for them. all right. giving everybody insight into how things work. thank you very much. for more on this, we are joined by democratic polster and senior political strategist and gop strategist and former spokesperson for president george w. bush. good to have you both here. jessica, let me start with you. obviously, all of this points to a cozy wall street relationship with hillary clinton. and you know, her concerns about saudi arabia and qatar and yet did nothing at the sort of open level to try to blunt their

inflini influence in the world. as a matter of fact, bill clinton got a lot of money for speaking there. >> i take your point. there is no doubt -- >> that's at the heart of the question of the issues. >> obviously my perspective is these are separate issues. as you said just now, clintons wouldn't want the e-mails out there. this is a private e-mail. we know the sausage making is never particularly attractive. i would say things especially about what she had in wall street speeches are hyped up to be more than they are and 22 days from the election i don't think that voters are as concerned about what she supported tpp and when she changed and if it was if she wanted more votes. she needed more votes. s she had to beat bernie sanders and she did what she today do.

>> that's right. that's hillary clinton's open play book. >> jessica, two-faced hillary clinton. this is how it works with hillary clinton. in public she says one thing, in private she says another thing. in private with wall street she panders to wall street audience and all of a sudden in public she changes to be highly critical of wall street. same thing with tpp in terms after flip-flop. it is called political convenience and figuring out a way to win voters in that sense. what it really shows is the fact that the lack of principle, a pattern of corruption, constant excessive secret that comes out from the clinton campaign. whether it be about tpp, whether it would be about this fbi quid pro quo situation. where you have a state department official basically saying i need to figure out a way to bauerry these e-mails in the basement of the state department never would be seen again. at the same time, that they are trying to figure out what the fbi, if we can get more agent in

certain countries where they are being barred by the state department. this is a type -- it is no wonder why the majority of americans do not trust the government. they feel they are corrupt. this is exactly the pattern -- >> hold on with that. put this one up. this is to podesta. it goes to the heart of the issue. then joel benin says, do we know what her core message is. >> i think it is a serious issue. we've discussed it before. having a positive pro growth message is important. they talk about the doom and gloom. and her own campaign had trouble with her candidate. no one thinks hillary clinton is the best candidate there ever was. we know barack obama exists. she is well ahead in this

election. to mercedes' point, i'd like to talk about flip-flopping. donald trump is running on a muslim ban. >> sorry, i'm going to get cut off. >> sorry. >> see you in vegas. >> we'll be back with this story after this. stick with us.

an alaska police officer shot in line of duty is now recovering as the hunt is on for the man who opened fire on him over the weekend. investigators now scouring the dash cam video. trace gallagher joins us now with more on that. trace? >> hey, martha. it happened just after midnight on sunday. a police officer responds to a call of shots fired, then moments later sergeant allen brett radios in that he has been shot. apparently multiple times.

now watch the dash cam video. the officer pulled up to a man in a dark jacket walking the opposite way. this man then walks out of frame and comes back into view with the gun drawn. the video does not show the actual shooting but some time after the shots are fired, the officer either gets out of his car or is pulled out of the car because sergeant brandt was found alone outside and the shooter drove off in the patrol car for a few blocks before abandoning the cruiser. the suspect remains at large and it looks like the only solid lead investigators have is the dash cam video which they say shows a native alaskan man in his 20s wearing a ball cap and a dark jacket. police are hoping the video is enough for someone to recognize the shooter, but they believe he is still in the area and is still armed and dangerous.icer listed in stable condition, but fairbanks police will not release any information about his actual gunshot wounds.

the officer down memorial page says so far this year 100 police officers have died in the line of duty. 46 of them were killed by gunfire. martha? >> trace gallagher in los angeles, thank you, trace. a major retailer is plug puling the plug on a halloween costume citing public safety concerns over a costume. for lower back pain sufferers,

most of the incidents have been pranks but some have turned violent. so there goes the whole -- boy, if you're the maker of clown masks you're out of luck this year unless you're selling enough to people running around scaring people on the regular streets. i'm martha. shep is straight up after this. it's 3:00 on the east coast. noon on the west. donald trump is on a twitter tirade because, obviously, he's insisting now the whole election is rigged and he says to republican leaders who don't admit it are just being naive. we'll look at the facts and show you how donald trump has had a lot of company over the years in voter fraud claims. he's going after all the women who have accused him of kissing or groping or sexually assaulting them. newly released fbi documents show somebody accused a senior staffer at hillary clinton's state department to accuse the feds of trying to change the classification on
