9:00 am
fox news alert from america's election hks. hillary clinton and donald trump are set to hold rallies soon as he hit the home stretch of this campaign. hello, everybody, hope you're having a great weekend. i'm jena lee. this is a special saturday edition of happening now. >> thanks for spending part of your day with us. i'm jon scott. three days until america decides who the next president will be. the candidates are leaving nothing to chance. hillary clinton starting her day in pembrook pines, florida, before going to pennsylvania. those two states alone combine for a whopping 49 electoral votes. donald trump will be holding a rally in wilmington, north carolina, then heads west to nevada and colorado. north carolina is eamericaing as
9:01 am
a key prize for both campaigns as they try to win the white house. live fox team coverage on the clinton campaign, but we begin with john roberts in tampa, florida. john? >> reporter: jon, good afternoon to you. north carolina is an important battleground state. butna is key to donald trump. it is going to be a very early evening for him. starting off his day here with a rally outside of tampa at the fair grounds. so far at this point the real clear politics poll shows hillary clinton with a slight lead of about 1 percentage point. to be fair, the polls have been all over the place in the last week or so. donald trump opened up the rally today criticizining jay-z for dropping the "f" bomb and using the "n" word. he said he's never used such language in his life. he launched into an assault on obamacare, a bread-and-butter
9:02 am
issue that he believes could motivate voters after the polls on tuesday. >> because of obamacare, companies are leaving, insurers are fleeing, doctors are quitting and deductibles are going through the roof, some as high as $15,000. some higher than that. yet hillary clinton wants to double down on obamacare, making it even more expensive. >> reporter: remember, donald trump has pledged in the first day in office if he's elected president, he will begin the process to appeal and replace obamacare. he also kept up the drum beat on the hillary clinton e-mail scandal this morning, almost taking glee in the idea that hundreds of thousands of e-mails, many of them never seen before, were found on anthony weiner's computer. >> can you imagine, anthony weiner probably has every
9:03 am
classified e-mail ever sent. and knowing this guy, he probably studied every single one in between using his machine for other purpose. >> reporter: early voting has been under way in the state of florida for a couple of weeks now. many counties it ends today. the rest of the counties will close tomorrow. so far, jon, when you look at the overall tally with the mail-in vote, the absentee vote, democratic returns now lead republican returns by about 7,000. the republicans had been leading throughout most of the last couple of weeks. even so, republicans say they are way ahead of where they were in 2012. jon? >> john roberts joining us from tampa. thank you, john. >> in the meantime, hillary clinton starting her day in the biggest swing state of them all. if you look at electoral votes, florida is where we find mike. >> reporter: hi, jenna. the local teachers union in broward county,
9:04 am
cooking out hotdogs for those of you wondering at home. ahead of a huge hillary clinton rally on the final weekend of the 2016 campaign. she had star power campaigning on her behalf last night. beyonce dazzled a crowd trying to stimulate the african-american vote. it was largely african-american and young audience. clinton is taking advantage, using vip entertainers, that republicans don't typically have backing them. beyonce's husband, jay-z made this appeal saying he wants his daughter to grow up without limitations, and then he attacked donald trump. >> the conversation is divisive. so he cannot be our president. he cannot be our president. once you divide us, you weaken us. we are stronger together. i would like to introduce to you the next president of the united
9:05 am
states, hillary clinton! >> reporter: hillary clinton seems to be feeling it with larger crowds, and a tremendous buzz ahead of election day. >> when i see them here, this passion and energy and intensity, i don't even know where to begin. because this is what america is, my friends! >> reporter: that clip is from a new ad the clinton campaign is out with from katy perry's song "roar." as for katy perry, she will be campaigning on hillary clinton's behalf tonight in philadelphia. we've got a little shower under way here in south florida. back to you, jenna. >> a lot going on there, mike, indeed. thank you very much. >> it looks like good barbecue going on. >> it certainly does. >> as both campaigns go at each
9:06 am
other tooth and nail, with eget a brand-new look at the state of the race. it could not be closer. it shows hillary clinton with a one-point edge. 46% to 45%. another poll shows hillary clinton ahead by four points. let's look at larry's crystal ball. it finds secretary clinton has safely locked up 183 electoral votes to donald trump's 116. 89 electoral votes are likely democratic. 57 are likely republican. 21 electoral votes are pointing the democrats' way and 41 toward the gop. let's get into it with the author of the book "bellwether." kyle, good to have you on today. she's up one point in our fox news poll. last week she was up five points. is that her momentum sliding or
9:07 am
is it donald trump's momentum going north? >> i think throughout this campaign, we've seen that clinton is sort of consistently led, although at certain times, bad news has broken for her campaign, i certainly think that jim comey announcement from eight days ago qualifies as bad news. we've seen her numbers sort of dip and trump improve a little bit. i think it's been kind of a lousy week at the polls for clinton, but i still think the pre pop trans of the evidence shows that she's the favorite going into tuesday. >> but again, a one-point national lead doesn't mean anything if you don't win the electoral college on a state-by-state basis. you have her at 183 electoral college votes safely locked up. where does that stand in comparison with past weeks? >> we've had clinton over 300 electoral votes in our maps, for a lot of this cycle. we did downgrade her recently, 293 in the current map, with a handful of a few tossups, most
9:08 am
notably florida. i think that clinton is probably just a slight favorite in florida. we'll be putting out our final predictions on monday. but there are a lot of close states. of course, i think donald trump is hopeful that he can maybe steal one of the big midwestern battlegrounds that typically votes democratic from clinton. i think he's already favored in iowa and ohio. and then you look at maybe a michigan or wisconsin, or maybe even minnesota as a place where i think he brings an upset. all the evidence i think suggests that clinton is still leading in those places. maybe not as much as obama won them in 2012, but i don't think they're tied either. >> i want to dig a little deeper into our fox news polls. especially when it comes to two key gauges of how fervent voters are about their particular candidates, when asked about the level of support. clinton supporters strongly support their candidate 65% of
9:09 am
them saying they strongly support her. trump is plus-six with 71%. and then when you move on to the category of how interested are you in the 2016 presidential election, clinton supporters, 54% of them say they are very interested -- i'm sorry, extremely interested, 63% of trump supporters say they're extremely interested. that's a tough thing to measure. but when you've got a race that fox polls put at 1% nationally, doesn't this level of enthusiasm potentially make a huge difference? >> it could. for clinton, unenthusiastic vote counts as much as an enthusiastic one. >> sure. >> but if it's snowing or raining or windy or something outside, the less enthusiastic voters is less likely to go out. >> yeah, i think the benefit for clinton here is that i think she probably is going to have a stronger ground organization. but yeah, i think that the trump folks may be more fired up at
9:10 am
this point. i think that maybe democratic enthusiasm went down a little bit after the comey letter. i think that's probably why you're seeing a race that seems closer now than maybe it did a week or two ago. and again, if trump were to be able to win, it would probably be that he is able to bring out some irregular voters who maybe didn't show up for mitt romney but would show up for him. >> your crystal ball newsletter reads, part of it, this election may truly be something of a jump ball. >> so, again, i think that clinton is still favored here. but again, probably a little bit less confident about that than maybe we were one or two weeks ago. again, i think the comey letter is a great explanation for why that is. >> well, had e's taller, so if it is a jump ball, could go his way. kyle from the university of virginia center for politics. thank you. >> thank you. millennials are now the
9:11 am
country's largest generation giving them the strongest voice at the polls. why do many of them decide not to vote? we'll talk a little bit about that. mike pence campaigning with house speaker paul ryan as the trump campaign makes a play for wisconsin.
9:12 am
9:13 am
want a great way to help our children thrive? then be sure to vote yes on proposition 55. prop 55 doesn't raise taxes on anyone. instead, it simply maintains the current tax rate on the wealthiest californians to prevent education cuts that would hurt our kids. no wonder prop 55 is endorsed by the california pta,
9:14 am
teachers and educators. because all of us want to help our children thrive. it's time to vote yes on proposition 55. are. several lawsuits working their way through the courts to prevent election fraud and voter suppression. in ohio, a judge barred voter intimidation activities.
9:15 am
a new law in arizona for political operatives to collect mail-in ballots. we just found out a few moments ago that it is being upheld. so no one can deliver a ballot for you there in most circumstances. in north carolina, a judge orders that any voters who have their names removed from the roles in the last 90 days were restored. a criminal defense attorney and republican election observer will talk about that. and carey is an assistant district attorney. great to have you both. it's really interesting to take a look at what is the appropriate legal behavior around election day. richard, i'm curious, you'll be going down to philadelphia. tell us a little bit about what you're doing and why. >> sure. part of the operation will include a group of attorneys who will be called to trouble locations. what's a trouble polling location? that's a location where somebody's electioneering, campaigning within 100 feet of the ballot -- the polling site.
9:16 am
that's also people who may say, i wasn't allowed to vote. so a lot of people think that the operation for democrats and republicans is to stop you from voting. no, you want to encourage voting. part of the operation is to help everyone allowed to vote. you cannot be turned away in this election. you can be issued a provisional ballot. but everybody has an opportunity to cast their ballot. >> richard, i'm curious, going back on your previous experience, what do you notice when you're out at different sites? what happens? >> here's what i most see. they'll hold up signs, advocate for positions within 100 feet of the polling place or go in with vote for trump or vote for clinton t-shirts, buttons. those things are not allowed. >> if someone wants to wear their make america great hat or their hillary clinton shirt, they should rethink their fashion? on voting day? tell us about that. >> voters have certain rights. and they have the right not to
9:17 am
be intimidated or receive unwanted messages within 100 feet of a polling site. if they're wearing a trump shirt or hillary clinton shirt, they must reverse that shirt. they're about to enter a polling site where they cannot provide any political message. >> i think a lot of people might be surprised about that. if there's one thing we've seen over this election period is a lot of swag. >> yeah. >> right? a lot of t-shirts and baseball hats. that's a no-go when you go to vote. >> make america great again doesn't advocate for a particular -- >> it doesn't have trump's name? >> if it doesn't have trump's name. >> but you might want to dress in black, to be cautious. something neutral. >> that's correct. >> at polling sites you'll have independent nonpartisan agencies that might advise people not to carry such political messages. but the important message is that if you see something, say something. this is one of the most emotional, intense elections we've seen in years. let's make sure that the re
9:18 am
toric doesn't encourage peek to their hands, and have a fair and effective election. >> we certainly want that. we don't want to be reporting on a bunch of issues at polling sites. i'm curious how you balance, richard, voter suppression versus voter fraud and how there's a line between the two of those. we need to make sure that the line stays there. how do you do that? >> voter fraud, a lot of people think people are going into the election polling places and voting twice, very rarely happens. you have poll workers, poll watchers, surveillance video typically outside if it's in some type of public place. in new york city you have a police officer in every polling location. there's a lot of activity in a polling place. someone coming in to commit fraud is very unlikely. in terms of voter intimidation, that happens outside. don't vote for hillary clinton. don't vote for donald trump. they're kaug calling them names. lines of people both back and
9:19 am
forth, pro-hillary, pro-trump outside the polling places. >> there are lines to vote longer than 100 feet. you could be in line and have people nearby, but you're 100 feet away from the entrance. what is something every voter should know, aside from the fashion tips when they go in to vote? what are part of our rights when it comes to voting? >> voters are entitled to a provisional ballot if their name is not on the -- >> this happened to me, by the way, and your name's not there, and you say you're not there. i should be able to still vote. >> yes, you should be. in new york state, you're entitled to have a judge rule on that. voters cannot be turned away from the polls. no one can ask them, we need to see your phone bill in order to vote. there are forms of voter intimidation outside the polls. we want to make sure we don't see that happening. >> richard, anything to add to that, quickly? >> real quick, if you are denied the opportunity to vote, talk to
9:20 am
a poll worker, or go to the board of elections and tell them that you were denied the right. do not walk away from that polling site without casting your provisional ballot. also, if you are a first-time voter, you may be asked for your phone bill or something that verifies your address, for a very first time voter. >> we'll be talking to millennial panel next. that's a good heads-up for the young voters. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> one of the critical questions this time around is what happens to the balance of power in the u.s. senate. well, the pennsylvania senate race is getting tighter as the election gets closer. the final push from both candidates as they fight for a seat that could decide which party controls the senate next year. plus, iraqi special forces pushing deeper into mosul. the next steps as they try to take back that city from the terrorists of isis. why do some cash back cards
tv-commercial
9:21 am
make earning bonus cash back so complicated? they limit where you can earn bonus cash back to a few places... ...and those places keep changing every few months. the quicksilver card from capital one doesn't do any of that. with quicksilver you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. leave complicated behind. what's in your wallet?
9:22 am
in einstein since he started the new beneful recipe. the number one ingredient in it is beef. (einstein) the beef is fantastic! (becky) he has enough energy to believe that he can jump high enough to catch a bird. (vo) try new beneful originals with beef. now with real beef as the number one ingredient.
9:23 am
9:24 am
i'm not exaggerating when i say we have candidates all over the place today. yeah, the democratic vice presidential nominee senator tim kaine making a campaign stop today in florida. hillary clinton is also in florida. donald trump is also in florida. at a certain point today. this is bonita springs, dolly's
9:25 am
restaurant. i believe that's the back of tim kaine we're seeing. he's making a brief campaign stop there. on the west coast of florida. a big important state. a lot of electoral votes there. we'll be watching the candidates as they crisscross the country today. very busy schedules. we'll keep you updated as best we can. jon? one of the nation's most competitive senate races becomes a tossup just days before the election. pennsylvania democratic mcginty leading pat toomey by a few points. it could determine the balance of power in the senate. live in bristol, pennsylvania, with a look, here's rick. >> reporter: jon, we're youf side a school where katy mcginty is holding a get out to vote rally. a key swing state in the presidential race. also in the senate as well. republicans currently hold a majority of 54-46 seats.
9:26 am
34 of those seats are up for grabs. 24 of them held by republicans, including this one here in the keystone state by senator pat toomey. now, both candidates have seen their fortunes rise and fall along with clinton and trump, as hillary's poll numbers have improved, so has mcginty's. when trump closed the gap, toomey seemed to gain momentum. while mcginty has endorsed hillary, toomey is still not endorsing his party's candidate for the white house. >> i have a lot of problems with donald trump. i've been very public about my criticisms when i've disagreed with him. i said so. on the other hand, i think he would sign legislation that would be constructive, like repeal of obamacare and -- >> he keeps telling us that he has differences with donald trump. and that he's waiting to be persuaded. differences? well, now, isn't that dainty and
9:27 am
delicate. and waiting to are persuaded, what more could toomey need to hear. >> reporter: this has been an incredibly nasty campaign so far here in pennsylvania. and also, an incredibly expensive one. $137 million spent so far on this senate race. the most expensive senate race in history, jon. and more money will be spent in the next three days as a lot of money pours in from outside the state trying to maintain or disrupt that balance of power in the u.s. senate. >> fascinating stuff. it's going to be interesting to see what happens tuesday. rick leventhal, thanks. now we move a little further west from pennsylvania, republican vice presidential nominee mike pence, and house speaker paul ryan, about to make a campaign stop in wisconsin with senator ron johnson, as republicans make a major push to keep senator johnson in his seat there in the senate and maintain
9:28 am
control of the senate for the gop. paul ryan said he plans to stay on as speaker of the house. these are their plans. we'll see what happens. mike tillman is live near milwaukee with more. mike? >> reporter: what we're seeing here is part of a flurry of national republicans swooping in on the badger state. this is shaping up to be one of the tightest senate races, that, of course, the race between the incumbent republican ron johnson and democrat russ feingold. we saw eric trump show up yesterday stumping for ron johnson. outside groups, 45 of them have swooped in on wisconsin. 16 spending money for air time. the big republican machine here in wisconsin, that got governor scott walker through the recall and then through reelection, now votes that they have knocked on 1.6 million doors on johnson's behalf. >> it would have been nice to have the posse come around a little bit sooner. but bottom line, i'm glad
9:29 am
they're here now. i think it will make all the difference. the polls show how close this race is. >> reporter: paul speaker paul ryan has been stumping for johnson as well. the reports that he said he was not interested in campaigning for the speaker are simply not true. when governor pence speaks, anticipate he will clear up any doubt as to whether he supports his longtime friend, paul ryan, for the speaker's position. but the primary goal for governor pence when he gets here, of course, is to support his own ticket, or drum up support for his own ticket and put the johnson race over the top as many people will specula speculate controlling the senate could come down to wisconsin. fox news alert. we'll take you to florida where hillary clinton has just made a surprise appearance at her campaign office in what's known as little haiti. it's an area, neighborhood north
9:30 am
of downtown miami. predominantly as you can imagine populated with haitian immigrants. there you can see the back of the former secretary of state, as she shakes hands and works the room. florida obviously a very, very tight battleground state. and with something like 29 electoral votes at stake, both hillary clinton and donald trump are hoping they can put it in their column come tuesday. so this surprise appearance obviously has the crowd excited in this hillary clinton campaign office in little haiti. >> we'll be watching for hillary clinton to talk at 1:00 p.m. eastern time. we saw donald trump in tampa earlier. as jon points out, according to real clear politics, the polling there suggests a very tight race, a difference of one point. hillary clinton up just one point in florida. but you have tim kaine on one side of the state, hillary clinton on the other, yet donald trump is there, proves how important florida really is. >> they're racking up the
9:31 am
frequent flyer miles. i think i caught a bit of a sign, hillary clinton sign translated into haitian creole. there it is. she's holding the sign, the woman in the union t-shirt, i think holding an official hillary clinton campaign sign translated into haitian creole. which is a kind of mixture of french and some other languages. interesting. maybe one of these times we'll see hillary clinton from the front. >> we don't control the camera. we do the best we can. >> and we didn't control the stop either. she just popped in. there you go. >> we'll keep you updated as we get more from the campaign trail. in the meantime, interesting trends in early voting. how millennials fit into hillary clinton's campaign strategy as she campaigns with some star power. >> and by the way, i didn't have to bring j. lo or jay-z, the only way she gets anybody. i'm here all by myself. just me, no guitar.
9:32 am
no piano. no nothing. okay, so what's our latest data say? our customer is a 21-year-old female. heavily into basketball. wait. data just changed... now she's into disc sports. ah, no she's not. since when? since now. she's into tai chi. she found disc sports too stressful. hold on. let me ask you this... what's she gonna like six months from now? who do we have on aerial karate? steve. steve. steve. and alexis. uh, no. just steve. just steve. just steve. live business, powered by sap. when you run live, you run simple. man: i accept i'm not the deep sea fisherman i was. i accept i'm not out on the ocean wrestling marlin. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't go after anything with less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin, i'll do that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin. plus, it had significantly less
9:33 am
major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. that's what i wanted to know. 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 make increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i may not be going for the big one, but i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke, plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.
9:34 am
g new cars. plus less major bleeding. you're smart. you already knew that. but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer.
9:35 am
now you're even smarter. this is truecar. iraqi troops clearing out buildings in eastern mosul days after entering that city. special forces are battling now with isis militants, with mortars and automatic weapons, as they get closer to the densely populated neighborhoods in the city center. greg palcot is live in irbil, iraq, with the latest.
9:36 am
greg? >> reporter: hi, jon. fighting against isis is intensifying on several fronts in and around mosul, as we speak. there are more battles involving iraqi forces now and the militants on the eastern side of the city with casualties. we witnessed today several ambulances rushing the wounded out. also, isis-held towns are also being targeted in the south and more reports of civilians being used as human shields. take a look at what we saw and heard today. about ten miles outside of mosul, isis was finished here about a week ago. now there's new activity here. a new mission to train up young and old men from the region to go into the city of mosul itself and finish off isis. isis battered the main church in the mostly christian town. setting up a target range just outside.
9:37 am
most of the 60,000 residents had already fled. but the battle with isis in the area was still hard. 20 security forces died. local recruits for that militia want revenge. so does mosul region police chief. he wants to raid his mosul hometown and country of isis. also called dash. the story is finished. >> story in iraq finished. >> do you think they will be defeated? >> yeah. >> reporter: yeah, he said. yes. and how long will it take to get rid of isis from mosul? we probably got the most realistic answer from this fellow, and he is the one who knows. he estimates two to three grueling months. by the way, jon, among those residents, his mother and his three sisters. back to you. >> obviously personal for him.
9:38 am
greg, thank you. back to politics. we'll keep an eye on the senate race and the general election where we're seeing trends in early voting where millennials are a key demographic in this race. more than 30 million ballots are already in. and this headline caught our eye. voting early, and in droves. the story goes on to say, early voting has increased among hispanics across all states with available data, and largely decreased among young people. we'll talk a little bit about young voters. sal is the youth spokesperson for the trump campaign and author and commentator. and chris is with vote america now. a nonpartisan group. great to have you all. as we near the final -- we're in the final stretch, we're not near anything, we're in the final stretch. chris, i'm curious your thoughts in general as a nonpartisan voice here.
9:39 am
some of our guests are surprised to hear that millennials are the largest generation in america, bigger than baby boomers. tell us a little bit more about that. >> of course, they make 25% of the eligible electorate. this has been an interesting election cycle. millennials are a different type of generation. we've been talking to them across the country this year. mill el yals do not trust the overall process. they are just tired of the failed promises that washington has given them. and things like this pandering in the very last minute, it's frustrating to all millennials. you have secretary clinton who talks about various issues, but does not talk about issues of importance to millennials, such as criminal justice. and not speaking broadly, but actual specific policies. we have certain parts in america with we have law enforcement serving as judges, and these have to be addressed.
9:40 am
frankly, having a celebrity come out is not going to do it. >> interesting. let me ask malcolm about that. jay-z, beyonce, big concert. i'm curious, what do you think about the risk that chris is lying out for all of us it could be perceived as last-minute pandering, and actually turn off the young voter? >> i think -- i was listening in and i think he's actually off-base there. what millennials understand, and what i'm seeing every day on the ground, we understand this election is about a choice. do we want the person who has spent her life fighting for women, or families, or the person on the other side that has spent his career attacking and degrading and belittling women and families? i heard him talk about criminal justice reform. the first speech that secretary clinton gave this campaign was about criminal justice reform. the mothers of the movement have been with her all across the country. so millennials are excited. you've seen those numbers of excitement go up for secretary
9:41 am
clinton of the you're going to see big turnout on election day. because people are bought into the issues she's talking about. getting to colleges. >> sal, you know, donald trump said, i don't have jay-z, j.-lo, or anybody. he doesn't have any surrogates, he just has himself. and frankly, that's been enough to bring in the large crowds. how concerned are you about the high-powered surrogates turning out millennials in the last few days of this campaign season? >> not at all. we've seen the celebrity endorsements that they say don't help their decisions at all. in ohio, katy perry's song roar is going to be hillary clinton's last closing argument. never have we seen a president in the closing arguments and do con serlts with artists to try to get millennials out there. i don't think it will work.
9:42 am
i think hillary clinton will win the youth vote nationally. but i think it will go down from 2012. i think the most important thing, though, looking at the rust belt states, including new hampshire, donald trump is beating hillary clinton in new hampshire. i think the vote will increase in the important swing states because democratic policies, liberal policies have led to the deindustrialization of those towns. half a million millennials in ohio alone are living in poverty. that's similar to all the other states. they're not looking to hillary clinton to change that. >> i think that they're really shaking in their boots that people across this country are recognizing that we want to move forward with hillary clinton. donald trump says -- >> no, they're not. >> you two can disagree on that. chris, let me bring chris back in.
9:43 am
chris is nonpartisan. we like having chris here as well. there is one clear facto, that both candidates are behind where the republican and the democrats were in 2012. that is a fact, for both of your candidates. >> i agree. >> chris, i'm curious for you to jump back in here. what about turnout? what do you think actually happens over the next few days for young voters and how big of a factor is that in this election? >> so, to answer your first question, well, first of all, it's a major factor. i don't think that in this particular cycle, that, again, young people are not enthusiastic of this particular process. there's been numerous articles citing that. we were actually featured in "the new york times" having this very discussion. young people do not feel that this is an election, i guess you can say for them. they don't -- excuse me, it was mentioned prior before i spoke, malcolm mentioned about the reality. young people, it's not about voting against trump. you have to be able to vote for
9:44 am
somebody. you cannot say in this election cycle that you are voting for -- >> i agree. >> malcolm, we saw the youth vote get behind bernie sanders. in your assessment, malcolm, can you say it was the same? the turnout for bernie sanders is the same for hillary clinton? >> this is what i said before about the primary. i'm not sure why we're trying to litigate that three days before the election. but the primary, we had a tough primary process. and we should. we're having serious conversations, not about like where we're going to go for dinner, but whether some folks can eat. we understand we have to tackle poverty. that's why folks are getting behind hillary clinton because she's put out plan after plan about how to tackle these issues. on the other side, if i could, we have a person that keeps talking about making america great again. but what's becoming evident to all of us, is that he wants to make america russian again and make us annexed like crimea.
9:45 am
he's gotten completely offbase. >> we saw that very specifically with the youth vote with bernie sanders. that's why i was curious, asking an honest question about whether or not -- >> bernie sanders, every single day -- >> let me give you the final thoughts, sal, on what malcolm has presented. >> importance to bring up bernie sanders, because he won 80% of the youth vote during the primary. hillary clinton has not had an argument for young voters this entire time. the only one she has is the free college which she stole from bernie sanders, and fought bernie sanders in the primary. she's not genuine in her thoughts and actions for young voters. young voters have to make a choice. hillary clinton has changed her position multiple times over the 30 years, and donald trump staying consistent and not pandering to young voters. national security, economy and jobs, all they care about this time around. >> we look forward to having you both back to talk about it. and you, chris.
9:46 am
thanks to all of you. there are new calls for the department of justice to launch an investigation into the fbi. after a flurry of leaks on the hillary clinton e-mail probe. top house democrats, john conyers and elijah cummings writing to the doj accusing the bureau of pushing unsubstantiated information to tip the scales toward donald trump. let's talk about that with emily schir, political editor. and richard fowler talk radio host and fox news contributor. welcome to all of you. got two of you on now. emily, the democrats say that the fbi unfairly linked information about hillary clinton. republicans would say that the fbi prematurely closed its investigation into hillary
9:47 am
clinton and theers mail server some time ago. who has the best argument here? >> i think the argument is almost irrelevant because i don't think it's going to change voters' minds at this point. there have been so many scandals and hiccups along the way. be each one seems to outdo the next. the fact of the matter is, comey's letter was considered the biggest october surprise. we're now seeing maybe it's not had the big effect we thought it would. it looked like polls were tightening the day that he announced it, even before. it looks like it was 46-45 then, according to "washington post" abc news poll. that's where it was on monday. the same poll shows clinton at 47%, trump at 43%. i think with three days to go, it's not going to make a big difference. >> jonah, what do you think
9:48 am
about the prospect of the department of justice investigating the fbi. that's what these democratic members of congress are asking for. >> well, you know what, i think there's a strong hypocrisy here. it's given the fact that the department of justice actually linked information -- leaked information to the hillary clinton campaign about testimony that would impact hillary clinton personally as well as her campaign, especially giving advance notification about e-mails that would be posted, i think that it's pretty weird idea for the department of justice to be trying to get involved in this at all. there needs to be a third party, agency of some sort to investigate both units of government. >> richard, let's get you into this. do you think that asking the doj to investigate the fbi is appropriate? >> i agree with emily here. what the truth of the matter is, i think the american voters are
9:49 am
fed up with all of it, and they want the election to come to an end very, very, very quickly. we can't wait to get to tuesday so we can get on with our lives. but here's what i think will happen here. i think emily's right. what you see in the polling data is, yes, there was a moment where hillary clinton dipped because of the new revelation from james comey. and the fbi who i think was one step too far. and now her numbers are starting to level out. i think, you know, it's going to be a tight race, no question about it. both candidates have a high level of unpopularity. but on tuesday i think we'll be calling hillary clinton president and not donald trump. >> jonna, let me ask you about that. do you think people have processed what information has come out of the reopening of the fbi investigation, and do you think that it is ultimately not going to make a huge dent in hillary clinton's numbers? >> it's obviously made a huge difference in hillary clinton's numbers. the revelation yesterday showed for the first time in the
9:50 am
history of this campaign she's been below the projection of 270. that's the first time this has happened. i think where mr. fowler misses it in his analysis is the fact that the polls are tightening. but polls don't vote. tightenin, but polls don't vote. given that we see the enthusiasm within especially the african-american community is going to impact this race, it shows because she's going to different places like florida, things that should be locked up for her in advance. it's not happening for her. i think for anyone to say they know what the result of this tuesday race is going, what's going to happen on tuesday is being into lengthily dishonest at this point. >> john know caldwell, richard fowler, emily shire, thank you. we're awaiting rallies with both nominees, battleground states, hillary clinton in florida, donald trump in north carolina. these events set to get underway a short time from now.
9:51 am
back with more in a moment.
9:52 am
want a great way to help our children thrive? then be sure to vote yes on proposition 55. prop 55 doesn't raise taxes on anyone. instead, it simply maintains the current tax rate on the wealthiest californians to prevent education cuts that would hurt our kids. no wonder prop 55 is endorsed by the california pta, teachers and educators. because all of us want to help our children thrive. it's time to vote yes on proposition 55.

. a fox news alert. continuing on the campaign trail, there is joe biden in pennsylvania. it's one of two' investments he has for hillary clinton in that state. hillary clinton is headed to pennsylvania as well after her event set to kick off shortly in florida. she'll be with kaltity perry in pennsylvania. there's joe biden in pennsylvania, stumping for hillary clinton. we'll watch for news. in the meantime we're going to move on to yet another battle ground state, john. >> in fact, it's one you're going to be in on tuesday. another political showdown in north carolina where the governor, republican, is facing a tough re-election battle. governor pat mccrory locked in
9:55 am
an extremely tight race with democratic rival roy cooper, the attorney general of that state. north carolina's controversial bathroom law may have bearing on the results. jonath jonathan serrie with me. >> he had the reputation of being a business friendly moderate, but his bid for a second term has turned into a referendum on socially conservative legislation. >> he has been associated with the most visible and the most controversial issues rather than the legislature with all of this stuff got passed. those issues include voter id, they include the hb 2 bathroom bill. >> reporter: mccrory signed house bill 2 into law blocking transgender people from using restrooms and bathrooms that match their gender identity. it alienated many in the business community and prompted
9:56 am
an economic boycott of the state. meanwhile governor mccrory criticizes challenger roy cooper for refusing to defend the voter id law, knocked down by a federal appeals court which determined it discriminated against minority voters into came up during the debates. >> if you don't think there's potential for voter fraud, you're digging your head in the sand. in the history of the united states, voter fraud occurs. >> governor mccrory continues to use taxpayer money to pay for attorneys to corporate to appeal this. of course he lost. it's shameful for the governor to keep pushing this legislation. >> reporter: the real clear politics average polls show cooper leading mccrory by less than three points. that's a statistical tie. >> jonathan serrie in north carolina, thanks. taking you back to north carolina shortly when donald

10:00 am
fox news alert from america's election headquarters. donald trump and hillary clinton making their closing arguments in the home stretch of a wild and unpredictable race. welcome to the second hour of this special saturday edition of "happening now." i'm jenna lee. >> don't forget to set your clocks back tonight. i'm john scott. hillary clinton is about to take the stage in pembroke pines, florida, the grandaddy of all the battle ground states while mr. trump will soon hold a rally in wilmington north carolina, another crucial state in the electoral strategies of both campaigns. we have a brand new fox news poll on independent voters, a group which will be pivotal in
10:01 am
deciding our next president and who that will be. donald trump has a big lead among those independents, leading hillary clinton by eight points, 41% to 33%. vince kol naz is editor of the daily color. joe trippi is howard dean's former campaign manager and a fox news contributor. joe, you well know elections are won and lost among independents. what do you make of donald trump's eight-poemt lead in this voting group? >> i think a lot of what's happened is people have left the two parties and registered as independent. they still ask you to one party or another. i just think this is not -- it's not what i understand depts used to be, particularly in a pol polari polarized election. it's not surprising that trump would have a lead with them right now. >> vince, how do you see it? eight-point lead for donald trump among independent voters.
10:02 am
>> i think joe is right. back to the tea party you saw people running away from the republican party thinking both parties were not interested in the concerns of the average conservative voter. there are many conservatives, i think many trump supporters who identify as independent for a lot of the reasons trump got into trouble for, is he au authentically republican, close to the establishment? and the answer is no. >> let's look at the latest changes on the fox news electoral score card. new hampshire went from leaning democrat to as to-up state. ohio goes froms to-up to leaning republican. indiana and missouri go from leaning republican to solid republican, all four of those favor donald trump. does that suggest, joe, he has the momentum? >> he may have some momentum. i think it's stalled out. i actually think that map just
10:03 am
continues to show his problem. he can win all of those states and he's still not going to get there -- he still doesn't get to 270 unless he starts taking some of the blue states away from hillary clinton. that's why they're spending so much time in pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. that's why some of the surrogates and people are going to those states, and i think the other one -- the one thing i'd question is nevada being as to-up right now. if it were me, i would put it in the lien democratic column only because, again, just the early vote there has shown such a surge of hispanic voters in the law few days, i think she's building a lead there. >> vince, what's your take on that, and if you agree with joe, is there a blue state that you think trump is poised to pick off? >> well, one, i think michigan is the one that people are starting to say, wait a second, there's a race going on there that no one perceived.
10:04 am
now there's a real good chance donald trump could pick it off. some polls show it in a dead heat. that's 16 electoral votes. that's a real game-changer on a map where donald trump is going to need to pick up votes. florida is definitely a big one in terms of understanding that, if you lose florida, you're probably going to lose the election. if you win florida, you'll win the election. that's why you're seeing hillary clinton there today fighting for it. in all these states where early voting is going on. we look at states like north carolina, georgia, florida. hillary clinton is wounded right now. she's not getting the black vote turnout that she was hoping for, especially from what we call the obama coalition. of course, president obama is on the campaign trail trying to make that happen. it hasn't happened yet for her. i think on hillary's side they're sensing real damage and they want to shore up early voting especially going into election day or she could be at risk of losing places like florida. >> about a fifth of the country has already voted, joe. it's my understanding that hillary clinton is perceived to hold the edge in those early
10:05 am
votes. can you extrapolate that out to the rest of the country? >> again, all this counts in the battleground states. whether turnout is lower or not in the other 41 states is not going to really impact things very much. idaho is going to vote trump, and california is going to vote for hillary clinton. i think everybody assumes that. so in these battlegrounds, though, where the early vote does really matter, you're starting to see a huge surge with hispanics in florida and in nevada, as just two prime examples. even in north carolina where they're not much of the population, but they were 1.2% of the vote in 2012. they're already up to 1.8% of the vote there in the early votes there in north carolina. so you're seeing a surge there. i agree there's a drop-off with blacks. she's never going to get the
10:06 am
kind of turnout that the historic candidacy of barack obama was going to have in that community. i think that is why they're in florida and in north carolina and in ohio where they're still making a push. they've got to get that vote out, and they've got the apparatus, the organizational ability to do that. i would not -- i wouldn't bank on that as to how trump gets over. i don't see that's going to happen. >> it's pretty clear that the momentum question is right, it's in trump's column. two weeks ago, if you looked at that map, you would not see nine or ten states in play. right now we're seeing that. anybody predicting what they're going to see on election day, clearly wrong. >> that's what people said in 2012 with romney. the polls closing, barack obama was down by one right now nationwide. national polls don't matter, and even in the states where polls are closing, they close all the
10:07 am
time, and then they open up again on election day. and i really think this is like -- it's just a tough map for trump. >> joe trippi, vince kol nas, we'll see what happens tuesday. let's talk about one key state. early voting ending in north carolina a few moments ago. as polling sites do close there until election day. the tar heel state emerging as one of the most important battle grounds in donald trump's path to the white house. joe stewart, executive director of the north carolina free enterprise foundation, elections are your game, joe. and we're almost at game day. here we are, seven minutes past the closing point of early voting. how does the race seem to you on the ground in north carolina? >> jenna, it is a very competitive state. in some ways we're unaccustomed to this much attention. feel like we're both king and queen of the prom and our father and mother own the liquor store.
10:08 am
everybody is interested in a way we're not used to. we had the early voting results through yesterday. we'll get those results for today in the next couple hours. as of friday, yesterday, 2.7 million people of the 6.8 million in north carolina had voted. that's up by 380,000 over that same point in early voting in 2012. so tremendous amount of turnout in the early voting portion. some dynamics as some of the earlier guests had mentioned, participation among african-american voters down from the 2012 numbers. the number 06 white unaffiliated registered voters up dramatically. interesting new, votes over the age of 65, 150,000 more participating in early voting in 2016 than in 2012. it does feel like the early voting portion of the election here which typically does favor democrats overall, slightly less democratic than it was in 2012,
10:09 am
a year when mitt romney won the state of north carolina. >> go back to that point you made at the very beginning, joe, we should have some results from early voting a little later on in the day. talk to us about what those results -- what does that look like to somebody like you that gets some of those numbers and how much can you extrapolate from that to what the end result might be? historically what does that look like? >> from this point forward, once both political parties and their campaigns take a look at the early voting numbers, they know precisely what their game day plan has to be for tuesday. if indeed republicans are slightly advantaged by the early voting turnout, democrats will have to put on a far more significant effort to push out likely democratic voters on election day. if republicans feel as though the early voting has not been significantly beneficial enough for them, they've got to redouble their efforts and turn out their voters on tuesday. the way things are trending now, i think we'll probably see results that look slightly less
10:10 am
favorable to democrats overall from an early voting standpoint. one of the big questions here, jenna, because there's such a significant increase in the number of voters participating in the early voting process, is that just a khan ballization of people that took advantage of the convenience of early voting. in the last several presidential election cycles, about 60% of the total votes cast came in early voting. if the numbers hold consistent with what we've seen in past presidential cycles, our overall voter pris pags could be over 70% which would exceed 2008's numbers. >> thar is so -- let me stop you there. that is so interesting, that type of percentage point participation in the state a very high. you mentioned in your first answer. that is the unaffiliated voter in north carolina. that unaffiliated voter is in
10:11 am
the millions, 2 million-plus unaffiliated voters in north carolina. talk to us about that voter, who they are, their behavior and what it looks like that voter is doing this around. >> each at about 30% of the total. we've seen the most dramatic increase among unaffiliated voters over the last several years in north carolina. in our state you can vote in a partisan primary as an unaffiliated voter. there's been a net increase of over 500,000 unaffiliated voters since 2008 while there have at the same time been relatively flat or even decreases in the number of registered democrats and republicans. we see it as a fast growing state. a lot of the growth is unaffiliated, people moving to north carolina who do not necessarily feel aligned in their own partisan disposition based on where they originally
10:12 am
moved from. they're refusing to register as unaffiliated. a significant part is people repudiating the brand of democratic and republican and wanting to make it clear that they don't align themselves with any other party. it makes them more volatile in terms of an election. >> i'm going to have to run but i have one quick final question. we keep thinking the african-american vote is down in north carolina. can you briefly tell us -- when we say down, what does that mean? is it down by half a percentage point, 5%? what does it look like? >> as of friday, yesterday's numbers, the total participation of african-american registered voters was down 50,000 over the 2012 numbers. at that point in early voting it was about 29% of total participation in early voting. right now it's just over 22%. there is a significant decrease in participation in early voting among african-american voters.
10:13 am
>> very interesting. we'll be talking more about the state of north carolina. our viewers will be able to see you in person, joe, come tuesday, which is going to be great for all of us. we appreciate the time today. we look forward to the early voting results. onwards on the campaign trail, jon. >> we are going to take you to muck nago, wisconsin. there's the nation's top republican elected official. the speaker of the house paul ryan, he's on a get out the vote bus tour along with mike pence, the vice presidential nominee. they are especially stumping for ron johnson, the senate candidate who is in a very tight race in wisconsin. paul ryan is hoping some of his popularity as speaker of the house will get out the vote for ron johnson, also mike pence and donald trump. right now there are growing concerns about a massive cyber attack possibly hitting the u.s.
10:14 am
on election day. the fbi and department of homeland security is assessing any potential threats. the big concern is securing the vote to make sure the results on tuesday are fair and square. bryan llenas is in our newsroom with more on this story. >> officials at the department of homeland security are, quote, very concerned about cyber attacks that could, quote, cause confusion on election day. the real concern is not that hackers can somehow skew the actual presidential vote count; changing votes from one candidate to the other. the real concern is that hackers could attack state voter databases, stealing personal information and attack state election websites that report official election results. hackers could manipulate these websites or launch denial of service attacks shutting sites down entirely causing people to question the integrity of the election results, especially if this election is close, given the huge mistrust between the
10:15 am
two parties and accusations by republican candidate donald trump that the system is rigged. now, the probability of hackers or a foreign government like russia altering the presidential vote count is slim because the u.s. voting system is fragmented and decentralized. voting is done state by state, district by district and polling place by polling place. also, electronic voting machines are not connected to the internet which further protects the voting system from cyber attacks. cyber attacks are a concern following the wikileaks breaches and known attempts by vladimir putin to disrupt our election process. also, this summer at least two state election systems, arizona and illinois, were successfully infiltrated by hackers. in illinois, hackers took voter data and the stolen -- but the stolen information was not deemed that sensitive. now, dhs has since taken steps to protect us offering states risk assessment and scanning for malware, specifically helping
10:16 am
states protect their election result websites. cyber security experts will monitor election day from dhs's cyber security center and cyber fly teams will be standing by to deploy if there are any major attacks. jon? >> let's hope there aren't. bryan llenas, thank you. talking about media coverage. the mainstream media has expressed doubts about donald trump's candidacy since he descended to announce his presidential bid. our next guest has an article that reads in part, quote, the reason the media missed the rise of trump is because they were out of touch with the anger and frustration of so many voters, especially working class americans. even now there's too little empathy for these voters and too little understanding of what motivates them especially in certain precincts of new york,
10:17 am
washington and l.a. the author, howie kurtz is with us. talk to us a little mover about why you chose to write about this topic now and what you're seeing. >> here we are in the closing days, jenna. i've been struck thinking back the 20 or 30 times the mainstream media wrote off donald trump, he wasn't going to win the nomination, wasn't going to make it to iowa. ten days ago the media collectively decided hillary clinton was going to win this thing, speculation about who would be in her cabinet. donald trump still has a shot despite the fact that there's been a huge imbalance in the negative coverage toward him versus hillary clinton. >> what is the impact of that do you think on the race? >> on the one hand, trump is very, very good at punching back and giving it back to the media. but i think it really is beyond dispute when you look at the sheer tonnage -- i looked at "the new york times" today, two or three negative trump stories,
10:18 am
one nice story about michelle obama as a closer for hillary clinton. it has an impact in terms of the way the race is framed. there have been other campaigns where we've misjudged candidates or kind of not been perfectly fair and balanced. it's the part that you read which is i think the animosity towards trump, not by all journalists, but some elements in the mainstream media has a lot to do with a certain continued sense towards the million of people angry at a broken system and support him, a certain feeling of being out of touch, and the worst part for me is that some journalists and some media critics are actually justifying the much more negative aggressive treatment of trump by saying, well, he's such a dangerous and repulsive candidate that we should suspend the rules. >> it's a moral decision they're saying they're making, not a decision based on good journalism. >> they're saying we have to save the country from donald trump. well, that's not their job.
10:19 am
the job is to cover both candidates aggressively and fairly. i suspect if donald trump loses on tuesday, and he might win, a lot of journals will be high-fiving each other and saying, we did it, we stopped trump. there's a great cost here to the credibility of the news business and polls show that people get it. most people think the press favors hillary clinton, and i think this has been an awful season for the press. there's been some good reporting on both candidates -- >> sorry to interrupt. but we have to run. "the new york times" has a huge picture with hillary clinton with jay z. should all major newspapers have to have both candidates on the front page to be balanced or can they put who they want and that's the editorial call? >> not necessarily every single day. in the final week there should be as many positive pictures as one candidate and the other. photographs matter, too, as well
10:20 am
as headlights. >> i'll be curious what tomorrow's picture looks like. howard, thank you very much. we'll see you tomorrow. >> good to see you. >> i'm going to guess "the new york times" thinks beyonce sells papers. >> probably does, right? it's a business decision. we'll see. >> we're keeping an eye on florida and north carolina where hillary clinton and donald trump will be addressing their supporters any minute now. plus, these walls have ears. at least that's what the democratic national committee thinks. why the dnc is worried its phone lines are tapped.

10:23 am
the dnc is reporting a breach. officials say they picked up a
10:24 am
radio signal outside the building during a sweep. they believe it may have been a listening device capable of picking up cell phone calls. let's bring in morgan wright, senior fellow at the center -- not senator -- maybe i will be projecting. >> no politics, no, no. >> hoping for the best for all of us, morgan. the headline from "the hill" reads the democratic national committee has told the fbi it has evidence its headquarters was bugged. you see bugged isn't the right word. why not? >> bugs means physical access, i was able to tap their lines, have physical access to their office. this is a device similar to what law enforcement uses called stingray, called an imsi catcher. your phone has a unique identifier. i create a fake cell phone tower, what's called a man in the middle attack.
10:25 am
your cell phone thinks that's the tower to connect to. i can then compromise your phone. when i do that i can listen to your conversations, send you text messages or kick you off the network. it's an insidious way of monitoring conversations and virtually undetectable. >> how easy is it to do that? do you have to be a professional? >> no. i spoke at a conference on the dark web. you talk about all the things available, not just on the internet, but on this dark web, this community within a community, you can buy stuff like this for about $1500 and create your own electronic eavesdropping device. it's not that difficult. it comes with a youtube video and instructions. >> oh, gosh. i want to know more about this conference from the dark web as we take a look at donald trump's plane landing in north carolina. we hear these reports. bryan llenas brought us a great report at the top of the hour about potential problems come monday, cyber attacks. as you pointed out yesterday when we were interrupted in our
10:26 am
conversation, it would take little to cause chaos in this country if there are no election results and no one can report them because we're cut out from the internet. that goes back to the denial of service attack we covered a couple weeks ago. big picture, what do you see are the real risks, you're at conferences about the dark web. what are you seeing amongst your family and friends that are in the same business about what the probability of this is like? >> jenna, this is so serious, i will be at fox headquarters on election night monitoring this. i'm working with the company to get some actual threat intelligence. i think the biggest thing we'll see, the most probable vector of attack is the same kind of distributed denial of service. easy to launch, easy to do, already proven. i think the worst thing that can happen is to create chaos. it's hard to give attribution to exactly who did it. you could be a group of hackers
10:27 am
in south america or russia. the point about it is, if they disrupt the operation, people can apply. even though not a single result has been changed, they'll say you can't trust the results. >> hacking is national news, because every single day, here we have a wikileaks dump. it's already part of the campaign. it's already disrupted, caused a lot of chaos. there have been those debated how much weight it has given because of media coverage and how much because it's stolen information. let me talk about wikileaks for a moment. is there any way that somebody could have gone against wikileaks to prevent them from releasing this information? okay, they stole it. you know they're releasing it. why hasn't anyone been able to prevent them from releasing it if it's a battle on the web? >> they've tried that. apparently john kerry talked with the ecuadorian embassy and
10:28 am
got his internet access cut off. again, you have a diversion of a dead man switch. a fail-safe mode. information can still get out. here is the thing, jenna. this is not just a ten-room hotel. this is a million-room hotel which is the internet and you're trying to find every possible place where you can hide and store information, all the different ways you can get it out. it's very difficult unless you actually got to julian assange and found out from here all the places you got information, what are your passwords, how have you encrypted it. i can set something up and have it lunch in a year in case something happened and i didn't put in a password, it would release this patch of information in a year. there's good probability you wouldn't even know it exists. >> we're seeing donald trump's plane arrive. what do you say to viewers that are nervous hearing what you have to say, morgan? >> four years ago candidates couldn't spell cyber, and still nobody has come out with a good, what is your position on cyber security, cyber defense? what are our policies about when
10:29 am
does an attack on the unit states in cyberspace warrant a response by our military, armed military forces. it is going to be what it is. but for the folks at home, most of these folks, it's not going to affect you. we were talking about this yesterday, jenna. most of you folks, it's your devices being used to launch these attacks. for goodness sakes, change your passwords, don't click on things you shouldn't be clicking. that's the first line of defense, it's not dhs, the fbi. it's the folks watching right now. it's not going to be that bad, but we'll learn a lot of lessons. hopefully with dhs and the private sector we'll be prepared for election night. >> you have a course about changing your passwords. i'll make sure that link is on my twitter account and facebook page so viewers can access it. good time to change your password. the clocks are changing. change your password. >> change your battery in your smoke detector, change your password at the same time. >> morgan, thank you very much.
10:30 am
>> you bet, jenna. >> we're falling back, so don't go back to another password you've already used. that would be a bad idea. the media coming under fire from the left and the right for not digging deeply enough into a last-minute barrage of scandals. a fair and balanced debate on that ahead. plus we're waiting to hear from donald trump. there you see his 757 parked in north carolina on the right of your screen. hillary clinton also about to hold a rally in florida. we will take you to those rallies when the candidates take the stage.
10:31 am
10:32 am
10:33 am
10:34 am
back to florida, ft. myers, florida. tim kaine, hillary clinton's running mate, vice presidential candidate. he was at a restaurant nearby in the area. he's in one part of the state. hillary clinton is, in fact, o n the other side of florida. we're awaiting a speech from her. unfortunately the rain has started to fall in florida. we're watching for her to step to the podium. we'll bring you back when that happens. in the meantime, awaiting donald trump in north carolina. a lot to watch for. stay tuned for any big headlines. in the meantime moving on to other topics as well. jon? >> a flurry of leaks and revelations has both parties lashing out at the media. conservatives accuse reporters of ignoring wikileaks and the content therein. democrats say the fbi is getting a pass for leaking unsubstantiated information designed to benefit donald
10:35 am
trump. let's talk about it with kelly redell from "the washington times" and jimu greene, adviser for the clinton campaign, former president of the women's media writer and a fox news analyst. >> you're not family happy with the way the media has covered this campaign. you would give them an average at best. >> i would give them a c for the most recent coverage, the fbi leaks, wikileaks and probably a c plus for the last year and a half. that's if i'm being generous because it's saturday and we're three days out from this finally coming to an end. look, there has been a loss of -- a sense of civic duty and i think there are very clear examples when representative chaffetz leaked the fbi memo, he used very personal, highly partisan language in his leak
10:36 am
and the media responded in kind with breathless coverage using his language, didn't take the time to even recognize the fact that what chaffetz said as far as the case being reopened specifically, that was not in comey's letter. look at the found dapgs coverage. you had teams of people investigating the clinton foundation, who has the highest rating of a charity that you can get, and one reporter from "the washington post" who will probably win a pulitzer prize who has uncovered actual wrongdoing -- there's only one foundation that has been fined in this campaign and it's the trump foundation. you would not be able to tell that from the coverage. i think at the end of this situation, certainly wikileaks is exposing a lot of uncomfortable things between the media and political operatives, but there's going to need to be an autopsy just like the republican party did after 2012,
10:37 am
and hopefully this will stick. >> kelly, give us your take. >> her take blows my mind she's unhappy with the coverage for hillary clinton. the fact of the matter is the wikileaks have gotten zero coverage in the nightly news broadcast. today there was a massive kind of bombshell from reuters who said that the $1 million donation from qatar to the clinton foundation was received by the clinton foundation, they confirmed that, and it was not disclosed to the state department for hillary clinton's agreement at the time when she served as secretary of state, any foreign donations would have to be cleared by the state department. there's up to eight different examples of foreign governments donating to the clinton foundation that were not disclosed to the state department. this is just the tip of the iceberg if reporters and jury roomists actually want to do their job and follow up on what's happening in the wikileaks. instead they decided to say, blame it on the russians, give those excuses and look away, look someplace else. it is in the media's advantage,
10:38 am
mainstream media's advantage who i believe are rooting for hillary clinton to down play all these scandals. if they can cover the horse race, that means they don't have to discover the dirt until after she gets nominated to the presidency. >> there are indications from the wikileaks e-mails jehmu that high-level officials in the justice department were in contact -- we're going to have to end the segment a little early. hillary clinton is emerging. we promised our viewers we would take them to the candidate events. hillary clinton is in florida. let's listen in. >> i just looked over here. i saw a man who has changed his sign from "i will vote" to "i have voted." i am thrilled to be here with all of you. i want to start by thanking
10:39 am
sabrina fulton for that introduction. i have to tell you on a very personal note, one of the privileges of this campaign over the last year and a half has been getting to know sabrina and all the mothers of the movement. they are some of the bravest people you'll ever meet. they have taken the heartbreak and anguish of losing their children to either gun violence or encounters with the police, and they've turned it into action. the trayvon martin foundation that sabrina founded to honor her son is part of the agenda, part of her mission. i'm very grateful for her commitment to america a fairer, safer, better place. thank you, sabrina. we've got a bunch of great folks
10:40 am
here with me. i want to have you stand up, and i hope you will send them to work with me in the senate. congressman patrick murphy! also with us, congressman ted deutsche, congresswoman debby wasserman schultz, congressman l.c. hastings, the mayor of pembroke pines frank ortiz, the vice mayor of brow ward county, barbara sharif, broward county school board member patty good, mayor phil levine all the way from miami beach. and i especially want to thank my friend of so many years -- i
10:41 am
was trying to think about this as we were driving. i don't know when we first met, but we were both really, really you young, randi weingarten. and along with thanking randi, the president of the aft, let me thank all the educators, all the teachers. i think it's about time we stopped scapegoating teachers and start supporting teachers. now, every day in this campaign is exciting. being here with all of you the last saturday before election day really gets me geared up. we are seeing tremendous momentum, large numbers of people turning outbreaking records in a lot of places. now, just in case you didn't notice last night, i've got to say i was with jay z and
10:42 am
beyonce. [ cheers and applause ] they were amazing. you can go online and watch it. it was the most extraordinary show. when a famous entertainer says i want to support you, help get out the vote, that is such a gift. but the thought that went into what they did last night, my personal favorite part was beyonce at her backup singers and dancers in pant suits. what was really touching to me is both of them talked about what this election means for their daughter and for all of our daughters and our sons, every single child. so i've got to ask you, are you ready? how many of you have already voted? [ cheers and applause ]
10:43 am
>> okay. so that means you've got time to get everybody else to get out and vote, right? did anybo of you see the debate? i spent 4 1/2 hours standing next to donald trump on that stage proving once and for all that i have the stamina to be president of the unit states. he kept saying things like, well, what have you done for 30 years. i'm thinking to myself, donald, you don't want to go there. i would have been happy spending 4 1/2 hours compared what i've done compared to what he's done in the last 30 years. i helped to create the children's health insurance program which insures 8 million kids a year. as senator i worked to rebuild new york city, make our country
10:44 am
safer and get our first responders the health care they needed. as your secretary of state, i traveled to 112 countries. i stood up for human rights, women's rights, worker rights and lgbt rights. i spent my career fighting for kids and families. if you elect me, that's what i'll keep doing. my friends, you are a hearty bunch standing out here in the rain. i don't think i need to tell you all of the wrong things about donald trump, but here is what i want you to remember. i want to be the president for everybody, everybody who agrees with me, people who don't agree with me, people who vote for me, people who don't vote for me. [ cheers and applause ] so let's get out. let's vote for the future. let's vote for what we want for
10:45 am
our country and our children and our grandchildren. god bless you! ♪ it is perhaps a good thing that hillary clinton kept this rally short, because i wasn't sure how much longer her voice would hold out. she's in florida where it's raining. now we're going to take you to wilmington, north carolina, perhaps one of the tightest of these battleground states. there's melania trump, donald trump her husband just behind her and to her right. she's introducing him. let's listen.
10:46 am
>> -- who will keep us safe. we need a president who will secure the border. we need a president who will break up the corruption and collusion in our government. we need a president who will bring jobs back to america. we need a president who will lower taxes and reenergize the economy. we need a president who will not leave americans behind. we need a president who will put america first domestically and abroad. we need a president who will deliver the change you all have been waiting for. this is your last chance, your last chance to make a real difference. ladies and gentlemen, please say
10:47 am
hello to my husband and the future president of the united states of america, donald trump. [ cheers and applause ] >> folks, i'm going the see you guys in a little while. what am i going to do? i'm going to leave. good-bye everybody. i'm going to leave. what a great job, what a great job. and that's five languages, right? that's not's si to do. i couldn't do it. that's really amazing. thank you, honey. and i have my boy eric and his
10:48 am
great wife laura who comes from this area, right? right alongside. we have a very, very powerful man who i hear is doing very well. is it working out well? come here governor. he's been loyal to trump from day one. >> we need an outsider to clean up washington, d.c. just like we had an outsider to clean up raleigh, north carolina. this is the best of america. god bless y'all. thank you very much. >> he's a fantastic guy. he's been there from day one, too, believe me. so i just want to thank everybody for being here. it's an amazing situation that
10:49 am
we're going through. but i can tell you we are going to win and we're going to win big. hillary clinton has all these celebrities and failed politicians out campaigning for her. she has crowds so much smaller than us. i've got me, i've had my family. i've had eric and laura and don, don junior, and ivanka, nobody has heard of ivanka and tiffany. baron is a little young. i've had my family and they've been all over. mike pence has been incredible, too, by the way. he's been incredible. in three days we are going to win the great state of north carolina and we are going to win back the white house. real change begins with immediately, immediately
10:50 am
repealing and replacing obamacare. it's just been announced that the residents of north carolina are going to experience massive double digit premium hikes, so high -- and i say this to all the groups because it's so high. it's so depressing, i don't know what t want to tell them what it is. it won't tell you because right now you're happy, and you'd be very sad. you'd probably turn your head down and start leaving, but it's bad. in the great state of arizona, as an example, premiums are going up more than 116%. 95 of 100 north carolina counties will only have one insurer in the obamacare exchange next year. lots of luck with that negotiation. premiums are surging, companies are leaving, insurers are fleeing, doctors are quitting and deductibles are going through the roof.
10:51 am
yet hillary clinton wants to double down on obama care, make it more expensive, much more expensive. i'm asking for your vote so we can repeal and replace obamacare and save health care not only for north carolina but for the country. it's a mess. real change also means restoring honesty to government. as you know, the fbi has reopened its criminal investigation of hillary clinton. >> think ear also conducting a second criminal investigation into hillary's pay for play corruption at the state
10:52 am
department. it has just been confirmed that the 650,000 e-mails they discovered that weren't turned in, by the way, they discovered them, thank you to mr. anthony weiner. including brand new e-mails previously not trpd over to authorities, like lynn colluding even more classified information and maybe classified at the highest, highest level. how sad. however, the reports also show that the political leadership at the department of justice is trying very hard, as hard as they can, to protect hillary clinton. think of it. think of it. you have a great four star general -- a crept four-star general, right now, general
10:53 am
cartwright, james cartwright is possibly going to be serving as much as five years in jail. general petraeus, great general, his life was destroyed. young man took pictures of a submarine, he's in jail for a year. i watched his mother the other night, and hillary clinton is running for president and she's done 25 times worse than any of them or all of them put together. john podesta, her head, says she has bad instincts. pretty bad when your top person working for you says you have bad instincts. that came out on wikileaks. bernie sanders would say constantly during the debates -- which, by the way, she received the questions. nobody ever says anything -- can you imagine if i received the questions to the debates?
10:54 am
they would call for my immediate withdrawal. you don't hear about it from her. you don't hear about it. bernie sanders says she has bad, bad judgment. she does. take a look at what she's done. how about if he's running the country? she can't even run an e-mail. hillary created an illegal e-mail server to shield her criminal activity and then she illegally destroyed 33,000 e-mails after receiving a congressional subpoena. think of that. she made 13 phones disappear. some with a hammer. she's the most corrupt person ever to seek the office of the presidency. if she were to win, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. if she ever got into the oval office, hillary and her special
10:55 am
interests would rob this country blind. you've seen what's happened. the clinton family have made themselves rich by being in politics. as president harry truman once said, you can't get rich in politics unless you're a crook, which is an interesting statement. harry truman. my contract with the american voter begins with a plan to end government corruption and take our country back from the special interests. i used to be on the other side of things in case you didn't know, and i led a very nice life. but i also love our country, and this was an easy decision. i went from being the ultimate insider to being an outsider like they've never seen before. we are doing so well. this is a movement like they've never, ever seen before.
10:56 am
they've never seen anything like this before. i love this country. i want the entire corrupt washington establishments we are about to see. when we win on november 8th we are going to washington and we will drain the swamp! so true. so true. an expression i've gotten to like. at the core of my contract is my plan to bring back our jobs. north carolina has lost nearly half of its manufacturing jobs since nafta. a deal signed by bill clinton and supported by crooked hillary clinton. america has lost 70,000 factories since china entered the world trade organization, another bill and hillary-backed disaster. we're living through the greatest jobs theft in the history of the world.
10:57 am
nobody has ever taken jobs from anyone like other countries have taken our jobs. thank you. i love you, too. he's a rough sounding guy, but i do love him. i do love him. i love him all. i guess that's why i'm doing this. i guess, right? pillow techs laid off 1,125 workers and moved their jobs to mexico and other countries. frightliner laid off and moved to mexico. brunswick corporation laid off 212 workers and moved their jobs to mexico. flextronics -- not going to buy their product anymore -- laid off 312 workers in charlotte and moved their jobs to mexico, china and various other countries. anmore.
10:58 am
we could go on all day long with that. a trump administration will stop the johns from leaving america, and we will stop the jobs from leaving north carolina. that i can tell you. the theft of american prosperity will end and it will end immediately upon taking office. if a company wants to fire their worke workers, leave north carolina, move to another country and then ship their products back into the united states, we will make them pay a tax of 35%. i'll tell you what's going to happen, they're not leaving. they're not going to leave. and for the ones that do, that's okay. we'll make a fortune when they sell their products into this country. but they won't be leaving north carolina. it ends so quickly. the politicians probably knew this. i'm sure you've never heard it before, probably vice president. but you'll stop it immediately.
10:59 am
the outflow of jobs from our country is disgraceful. it's a disgrace. a trump administration will renegotiate nafta, and if we don't get the deal we want, we will terminate nafta and get a much better deal for our companies and our workers. we will also immediately stop the job-killing transpacific partnership with hillary clinton loved and says it's the gold standard. it is the gold standard for other countries, not for us. that will take the rest of our jobs. as part of our plan to bring back jobs, we're going to show and create lower taxes on american business from 35 -- >> donald trump on the ground in wilmington, north carolina. 15 electoral votes up for grabs there, a state our fox news electoral score card says leans democratic. donald trump thinks he can put it in the republican category.
11:00 am
he's there with his wife melania and you heard him introduce pat mccrory, the governor of that state. thanks for joining us everybody. america's election headquarters from washington starts now. donald trump's whirl wind tour of nine states in the last 72 hours before election day giving a speech right now from wilmington, north carolina. we'll check in with our own campaign carl coming up. hillary clinton concentrating on three battle ground states for visits, florida, pennsylvania and new hampshire. all this as wikileaks releases thousands of more clinton e-mails this weekend. we are taking our show on the road to two battle ground states, florida and ohio.
