ainsley: president was in beijing. he was in seoul last night. i was watching last night. i was up a little bit too late. he had a very strong message for north korea. the folks there in south korea they loved him. gave him two standing ovations. they introduced him as the leader of the world because. steve: i bet he liked that. ainsley: somebody is finally coming in and talking tough on north korea. brian: he is well on his way to making america great again. he loved that line. he also had a chance to point out how many great south korean golfers they are and how great they were at bedminster where i think they had the women's open this year. steve: his message to north korea hey, pay attention, whatever you do mr. kim, don't underestimate us. listen. >> today i hope i speak not only for our countries but for all civilized nations. when i say to the north do not underestimate us. and do not tro try us.

we will defend our common our shared prosperity and sacred liberty. the time for excuses is over now is the time for strength. if you want peace, you must stand strong at all times. the world [applause] the world cannot tolerate the menace of a rogue regime that threatens with nuclear devastation. all responsible nations must join forces to isolate the brutal regime of north korea to deny it in any form, any form of it you cannot support, you cannot supply, you cannot accept. brian: what's different about the president trump regime, unlike the past presidencies is, these missiles are now pointed to

us and our interests as well as south korea. we have to be all in on this. this was dropped in the president's lap. he also pointed out your grandfather had a great vision for north korea. you are not for seeing that vision. you are not fulfilling that mission. these people are starving. i also love they brought up otto warmbier who was tortured before he was killed. ainsley: also brought up a horrific story about a woman who was pregnant with a man's baby a man from china and what happened to that baby. i won't give you the details. can you probably imagine. yopsd why china is doing business with north korea and friends with north korea if this is what they are doing to their babies. steve: sure. ultimately though it's about getting north korea to denuclearize. he said message to mr. kim, the weapons you are acquiring is not making you safer they are putting you in grave danger. this stuff talk rush limbaugh says is exactly what the world needs to hear from this guy.

>> the world appreciates a strong america. the world wants a strong america. the world does not want a wus politically correct america. our enemies do but our allies and free people all over the world do not. and it's exactly what was needed. the world needs a strong leader, and the world needs a strong america. and to the observers around the world it is obvious we have both. brian: south korea is important. relationship. buff the big meetings are today and tomorrow. it is with china. they're the country that evidently we are building great personal relationships with. they are looking to dominate the south china sea. they hold the key toe north korea.

they can make some joint statement impact the region instead of saying we hope and we expect. maybe we have we have agreed to. ainsley: tomorrow is the meeting with vladimir putin. so you are right. these next two days are very important. steve: we may actually see the president of the united states motorcade over to the hotel in the next hour. if we do, if that's live, we will take you there. meanwhile. ainsley: breaking overnight, big night for democrats as ralph northam wins the race to become the governor of virginia. brian: kim beating out giordano. she lost big time. steve: griff, the "new york times," the democrats score two big victory new trump rebuke. >> well, good morning, guys. they are certainly celebrating today. these are the first really major victories in the era of president donald trump. in virginia, democrat ralph northam easily defeating

republican ed gillespie by nine points. the numbers there 54 to 45. tying gillespie to president trump. he continued that message in his victory speech last night. >> virginia has told us to end the divisiveness that we will not condone hatred and bigotry and to end the politics that have torn this country apart. it's going to take a doctor to heal our differences. >> northam a physician by trade. interesting moment afterwards. trump supporters chanting his name trump turned protesters turning governor elect off the stage as the protesters were led out of the room. [chanting trump, trump, trump, trump] >> gillespie did not campaign with or embrace president trump dissing himself publicly while

accepting his endorsement. and taking criticism from the president last night over twitter who faulted him for not doing so. but, nonetheless, gillespie conceded with class, wishing northam well. >> governor elect northam is a good man, and i appreciate his service to our country and our commonwealth, and i wish him nothing but the best success as our 73rd governor. >> as you mention mentions mentw jersey murphy beating guadagno bgawdguadagno. steve: griff thank you very much. going back to the "new york times" hid line, democrats score two big victories in trump rebuke.

but was it really? because neither of the candidates for governors in both states, which were won by hillary clinton, neither one of them really brought donald trump on board. keep in mind, the guy who won last night in the commonwealth of virginia, he brought in barack obama. he brought in joe biden. what happened in virginia with the president of the united states? they had him do a last-minute robo call yesterday because they knew they were going to probably lose. they had no idea they were going to lose by 8 or 9 points. ainsley: people in that state saw it as a last attempt to try to win, and he knew his numbers weren't good. he was bringing in the president to try to help him. some people thought it was a little too late. brian: he said a couple things the president agreed with about the statues. that was pretty strong. he also agreed with sanctuary cities. so strong on sanctuary cities that northam switched his position on it he did lose that state by 5 points to hillary clinton. so the president tweeted this out after the results were apparent and right away and not close.

ed gillespie worked hard with you did not embrace me or what i stand for. don't forget, republicans won four out of four house seats and with the economy doing record numbers, we'll continue to win even bigger than before. ainsley: he is talking about the special election when he is talking about the four house seats. steve: a wake-up call for establishment republicans, if you don't embrace the leader of your party, why do you want to win and why do you think you can? here is laura ingraham. >> there is no middle ground with conservative populism. that is the wave of the future. there is no constituency for open borders, open markets, and endless military interventionism. there is no constituency. so, maybe gillespie wouldn't have won if president trump campaigned with him, but trying to be half in and half out with donald trump was never going to work. if you dip your toe just in a little bit, you are going to turn out like ed

gillespie did. political road kill. brian: so you will have to make a choice president bush 43 or donald trump. book coming out now how 43 and 41 don't like donald trump. think they might be the last republican presidents. when virginia people were asked who did you vote for and what matters the most? 28% say the economy. you would think they would be leaning more towards donald trump because we are growing at 3%. number two is healthcare and number three is education. energy, confederate monuments and immigration round out the bottom three. ainsley: you have to stick around for the show. because we have system interesting sound bites from chris christie. steve: we do. ainsley: we will show you that at the bottom of the hour. get to jillian who has headlines for us. >> we have a fox news alert for you. get you caught you up on this news. vice president mike pence heading to sutherland, texas today. this as we leisure more about the disturbing past.

recover? a first pass answer is never. steve: boy that's gloomy but the numbers don't lie. the next guest says the "new york times" columnist was wrong. numbers up 20% while unemployment falls to 17 year low. that's not all. here to break down the numbers of host of varney and company, stuart varney. stuart, a year ago paul krugman was positive we would pretty much be on the verge of a depression. fast forward a year. happy times here again. >> paul krugman is flat out dead wrong. the markets did not plunge. the market went straight up. i got the number for you. in the last year, since the election. the value of all stocks in america has gone up by some $5.4 trillion. steve: why? >> why? because the growth in the economy and the expectation of more growth still to come. this is another trump success story in the one year anniversary of his win. we have 5.4 added to the

market's value. we have 3% growth. but there are other statistics which are just as appealing from an everyday standpoint. mortgages, for example, the mortgage rate is about 3.9%. historically very low. gas is, what? 2 puck as gallon. 2.50 a gallon. ainsley: low unemployment, too. >> 17 year low unemployment. 4.1%. manufacturing is making a come back. the statistics don't lie. in the one year after his election, president trump has come through with a strong growth rate, low unemployment and big stock market rally. brian: the thing is you look at why that happened and the why is regulation something tangible that's been cut back. they what they have is expectations. expectations of a tax plan. a tax reform. what do -- so far on first blush as the house releases and senate is about to release their own verse. how does it respond? >> to many people it's a disappointing tax plan. it does not cut taxes for

everyone. in fact, the people who pay most of the tax now will actually be paying more if this tax plan goes through. the 1% don't get much sympathy, okay. but the 1% will be paying more under this plan and many middle americans will pay more under this plan. steve: it's the middle class that's hit. that's exactly what donald trump doesn't want. >> yes. this is a big disappointment. it is not reaganesque. it's not like we cut taxes for everybody, we grow the economy 4%. it's much more limited than that. ainsley: when he ran he said he was going to cut it for everyone. can that be fixed and changed so everybody does get a break? >> it could be fixed in the senate. they are working under arrest contain rules. the 1.5 trillion over 10 years. that's difficult thing to accomplish. brian: they're limited unless you get 60 votes and that's not close. >> unless you change the rules. get rid of the arcane rules and go with 50% deal and tax cut for everyone. not likely to happen.

this country for people like myself who really appreciate our second amendment rights. like you said, it wouldn't have made a difference here anyway. if we're not enforcing the laws on the book what is more law and more regulation going to do to solve the problem? that's what i still don't understand and democrats still can't sprain it to me. steve: the president of the united states during asian trip was asked about maybe it's time for more controls on guns and this is how he answered with something she wasn't expecting. >> you talked about wanting to put extreme vetting on people trying to come into the united states. but i wonder if you would consider extreme vetting for people trying to buy a gun. >> if you did what you are suggesting, there would have been no difference three days ago. and you might not have had that very brave person who happened to have a gun or a rifle in his truck go out and shoot him and hit him and neutralize him. if he didn't have a gun, instead of having 26 dead, you would have had hundreds more dead.

steve: so, tommy, what do you think of the president's point regarding extreme vetting. >> i'm so proud that we have this president in office. i have got to tell you. after 8 years hearing someone like president donald j. trump defend our second amendment right the way that he did and as vocally as did he and stand his ground, i've got to tell you, the anniversary of the election just makes me even more proud of my president. i'm right there with him. brian: i think the one place to crack down we had the secretary of the air force on yesterday. and that's the problem. our military has been flack in reporting some of the different individuals that have been tossed out and should not be able to have a weapon. this is domestic abuse intentionally crack the skull of a small child and then escape from a mental institution? and this was never reported from our military? sadly, i'm the biggest supporter out there, but that is a problem that needs to be addressed. >> of course it is. that's why we need to make sure there is oversight and accountability at all levels to make sure that the laws

we have on the books and reporting mesms we have on the books are being enforced and being used. i have got to tell you guys i grew up in south dakota and i grew up out of town, a lot of folks on the coast don't understand this like i do. our second amendment rights we hold near and dear to our heart it takes a long time for police to get to remote locations like i grew up in and areas of texas. that's why we care about our second amendment rights. it's not that we are gun fanatics and rednecks. we want to defend ourself from crazy people like him. steve: don't forget the fact that the guy who came running owhen he heard the gunshot, he picked up his rifle, he was bare foot. he was a former nra instructor. it's all about gun education. ainsley: tommy, tomi when i grep in the south i always knew my dad had guns and we were protected. if somebody walked in our house and put our family at risk we were protected because my dad was not afraid. >> exactly. picked the wrong house. same thing with my

what's the difference one year. >> given the first 100 day construct. the year one construct. the fact is in a short time there has been a business like approach to fixing problems in washington, d.c. e.p.a. reform. regulatory reform. updating technology. fixing the bureaucracy that's been broken and also, stirring up the political system the unpliment rate 4.1%. lowest since 2000. confidence up, business up. you are looking at improvement in the economy and the broad come announcement last week that's an ideal that we want to achieve. companyings coming back. brian: nikki, we don't have any legislative wins in this country, do we? >> no we too not. we are more divided. i was hoping in this last year that we would have come together and found some unity and i don't think that's happened. i think all of our positions has just hardened. people have gone more right and people have gone more left. brian: do you agree with that? >> i think.

so one of the ironies we learned in the last week part of the division is being stirdz up by the russians. rally essentially organized by russians on facebook and liberals went out at the behest of the russians and bad mouthed the president. brian: do you think if we had a legitimate investigation we would find both sides were there to cause friction with each other and they are getting exactly what they wanted? >> absolutely. the russians, no matter who is the president, they want to undermine the united states. brian: i think that's clear. chuck rocha, democrats are still reeling, still examining what went wrong, looking at donna brazile's book and book tour that never ends with hillary clinton, correct? >> i think you're right. i think last night heals a lot of those wounds. democrats had a huge election night last night brian brian in what way? >> we won the governorship in a state that's been purple. brian: democrat. >> vow a reaction from the american people. so a year ago people were really frustrated and a lot of the american people took a chance on donald trump because they want to do something different. sure they have been wanting

to break. so glasses and shake this thing up. they haven't seen any real results legislatively as you just said over the last year. and he controls the republican house and senate. america people are saying look, we are willing to take a chance but we want something back in return. brian: do you feel as though the republicans had to get used to governing? is that what we are seeing them getting their legislative feet under them? >> i don't know. it seems like it's mayhem in washington. seeing republicans leave washington. there is less and less confidence in the administration, in the put, and this is really affecting the populist and how we feel about the administration and our country. brian: elliott, as a dad of two, an attorney, former prosecutor, do you feel a difference out there today? >> well, look, one promise he made with regards to the courts as an attorney, he says he would fill the scalia seat with a strict constructionist in the mold of anthony scalia. in that regard promise made, promise kept. brian: professor wendy, i watched you a lot on the channel. you are relatively open to

seeing some change. do you feel as though the country has changed as the economy grows and militarily we are flexing our muscle? >> yeah. i think the economy has changed and our country has changed. we cannot negate the fact that there have been promises made that have not been kept. if we look last night what has been seen as a referendum trump administration. you see a lot of people saying you know what? we voted for you and wanted to see some change and we haven't seen anything. if you compare him to his predecessors you had obama his first few months passing the led better act. right now we don't see that coming out of the trump administration. we don't have hard core things to say we are going to move our country forward. brian: erin, as you watch president overseas how how is he respected. see a lot of the the pushing and pulling in europe. and now it seems the friendships might be taking root. see how is he respected in asia so far with the biggest moves being with putin tomorrow and today with china. what are you seeing how we are representing? >> america should be proud of his diplomacy. he has been doing so well internationally.

domestically, i think we have a touched on a lot of statistics about donald trump's in the last year. his election was a rejection of elitism. whether it's elitism in the media. whether it's liberal leaders in general. you know what this is telling people? we did want a change. donald trump was that breath of fresh air in the broken system. there are so many statistics to back this up. touched on unemployment 17 year low. housing prices 6.1%. higher than they were in august. the numbers tell a different story. we do need some of those legislative things to happen. i think they will. we will looking towards that. brian: lauren, are you comfortable with him taking on republicans? >> absolutely. that's been the problem in washington right now. up on capitol hill have you this game of playground politics. you have the republicans in washington who were elected on the exact same thing that the president was elected on. they were elected by their constituents to do the exact same thing this president was elected to do. they are not doing their job. they are not working for the american people. they need to remember what they were elected to do and get back to get back to

doing their job and forget whatever personal issues they have with this president. brian: keisha, he didn't take power until january, really february, nine months. and now on deck they say maybe even before thanksgiving we will be tax reform. do you feel as though the republicans are on the path to pass -- launch pad, pass something that will impact. >> i think it will be a negative impact for the majority of americans. i'm disappointed in his first year because there is a huge divide in our country. and i see it in the court system. i'm an attorney. i feel it. and even with a lot of the issues of distrust because of the russian suspicions. it's just not what we all expect or wanted for this country. in fact, it's worse. brian: right. do you feel as though democrats have fueled the russian suspicions or do you think they just want to get to the bottom of it? >> i think they just want to get to the bottom of it like all of us, we want what's right and safe for our country. brian: david, you feel the same way? >> no, the democrats, brian, the democrats don't want to get to the bottom of it they

have wedge issues over the years social issues or otherwise. they use these issues to divide the country, by the way, whether it's a president who is a republican or democrat at the top, it's up to the country to be united. the people across america. i travel this country. they have a different view. they may have disagreements, they are not as divided as the wings would like to tell us or the elitest or those that want to draw us far right or far left or far outside the political spectrum. brian: this panel is going to be together for three hours. we booked elm, this paid the feel and actually have the cars waiting outside. they are in neutral at this moment. not only are they going to be here for two more hours. they will be doing facebook lives. so please, get along. and dominate the green room like i know you can coming up straight ahead, the left provoked by prayer some democrats i should say and some democrats are now attack republicans they say for thoughts and prayers after the church shooting. our next guest says many democrats feel the full -- are in the full deplorable mode so to speak. chris christie with a parting message for one woman before he leaves office.

last night. >> today i hope i speak not only for our countries, but for all civilized nations when i say to the north, do not underestimate us and do not try us. we will defend our common security, our shared prosperity, and our sacred liberty. the time for excuses is over. now is the time for strength. if you want peace, you must stand strong at all times. the world [applause] the world cannot tolerate the menace of a rogue regime that threatens with nuclear devastation. all responsible nations must join forces to isolate the brutal regime of north korea

to deny it in any form, any form of it. you cannot support. you cannot supply. you cannot accept. steve: so there you've got donald trump who was elected president of the united states one year ago today on this date. and there he is, as the leader of the free world, he said to mr. kim, north korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned, it is a hell that no person deserves. he said the country is -- it's run like a cult and he had something very, very pointed. and he said to kim jong un, the weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger. so, the writing is clear: stop it already. brian: he also pointed out the day prior that there is a pathway to talks and better way. he is not totally slamming the door. he is trying to reaffirm

south korea. we have your back. also interesting because this is a liberal leader of south korea who natural let's stop talking to north korea -- reality has set in and now they seem to be talking pretty regularly. and the bonds seem pretty strong. i would like to add this, too. south korea is also committed to buying a lot of our weaponry which is going to help our economy. ainsley: billions of dollars going to help people have jobs here in the u.s. he says our equipment is better than any other country's. he gave examples why this guy is so evil. talked about otto carcinoma beer and a lady pregnant in korea with a chinese man's baby and what they did to that baby because they said the baby wasn't worthy. steve: brian, to your point earlier, when he was in japan, he was alluding to the fact that japan is going to be able to shoot missiles down as well. so i have got a feeling while they haven't announced any big defense contracts thus far and we had kellyannkellyanne on a couple ds ago and i asked about

details she backed off. i would imagine when the president comes back he would unveil not only did he go as a statesman but he went as a salesman and we are going to hear in the next week or two about a lot of defense contractors who are going to make a lot of money in asia. brian: they are traveling with the president including japan. if they change their constitution to allow offensive weaponry that would really get china's assassination. that's the last thing china wants. they still break out in hives every time they think about world war ii. big night for the democrats. ralph northam bin wins the race to become the big governor of virginia. it wasn't close. ainsley: in new jersey, phil murphy beating out kim guadagno. steve: griff jenkins is live in washington, d.c. with both races. >> ainsley, steve and brian, good morning. democrats are celebrating a big night. claiming first major victory since president trump took office in virginia. democrat ralph northam defeated ed gillespie bile 9

points. 54 to 45. northam ran on a clear message tying gillespie to president trump. something that he continued in his message in his victory speech. >> virginia has told us to end the divisiveness that we will not condone hatred and bigotry and to end the politics that have torn this country apart. it's going to take a doctor to heal our differences. >> then the party was interrupted in what appeared to be trump supporters turned protesters booing the governor elect as he was led off the stage and the protesters had to be removed from the room. [chanting trump trum] >> gillespie chose not to campaign with or embrace president trump. distancing himself publicly while accepting his endorsement, something the president faulted gillespie for over twitter last night.

nevertheless, the former rnc chairman conceded with class, wishing northam well. >> governor elect northam is a good man and i appreciate his service to our country and our commonwealth. and i wish him nothing but the best success as our 73rd governor. >> and in new jersey, the other closely watched governor's race, democrat phil murphy easily defeating kim guadagno by 12 points. all of this fueling a lot of talk about 2018, guys. democrats say they have a plan for anti-trump sentiment. but others say they may be overreading those results last night. steve: all right. griff jenkins. thank you very much. keep in mind ed gillespie lost by more than the final poll showed it showed 5. i think he lost by 8 or 9 right there. also, keep in mind, both the commonwealth of virginia and new jersey were both states that hillary clinton won in. and neither of the republicans in those states

really embrace donald trump. in fact, ed gillespie, who ran the rnc, i mean, he really is part of republican establishment, he did not call on the president that make any appearances on his behalf, but his opponent who won had barack obama in, had joe biden, in and had the support of the teacher's union saying look, if ed gillespie is elected he will support school vouchers and also charter schools which the unions hated. ainsley: at the very end, gillespie did reach out to the president and say will you do these robo calls for me. steve: last day. ainsley: the president tweeted this saying ed gillespie worked hard but did not embrace he or what i stand for. don't forget republicans won four out of four house seats talking but the special elections and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win even bigger than before. brian: alabama senate seat for jeff sessions, we will see if judge moore wins that what do people of virginia care about? believe it or not, even though the economy is going well, 28%. healthcare the most controversial thing in america.

26% of the voters said that's the way i voted why i did. education is 14%. we will see. he takes over for a democrat in terry mcauliff and prior to that the republican basically almost ended up in jail. so the people of virginia don't have a great feeling for republicans. steve: meanwhile the people in the state of new jersey, the number one issue for them taxes. it looks like the guy who is coming coming in wants to raise them. ainsley: got to work a little bit hard longer and harder, steve. steve is going to be around for a lot longer. no retirement until 65. brian: you work two hours for free. the last hour is the only one you are getting paid for. that's the way it works in america now. steve: wait a minute, i only work three hours a day? ainsley: lucky duck. ann wrote us and said gillespie was not smart enough to embrace the president. he could have won but he was seen as middle of the road. not enough to bring out republican voters. brian: and governor race. this is from jim. you know jim. the governor races lost yesterday are due to the lack of luster of

republicans in congress. lack of action on the aca repeal and replace. and now the dragging of feet on everything else. and now they have got to go sell tax -- you know this tax reform, which a lot of republicans aren't happy with. steve: you know diamond and seal who have twitter account and instagram they tweeted this out yesterday. message to those republican politicians running for office. if you don't support our president and its agenda, then the president will not support you. brian: right now, this is what people like ed gillespie look at. the president's approval rating, according to the recent polls is 36%. he is more of a traditional republican who ran the rnc. so he had to try to split the baby. steve: sure, but keep in mind, polls were wrong as we learned a year ago and donald trump was elected president of the united states. and in the four special elections for congressional seats, where donald trump went out and campaigned for people for the most part, they won. ainsley: hard to believe he has been in office for year. where were you when you heard the news?

president xi. brian: our allies, what allies? >> our allies in the region. vietnam, philippines, japan, very specifically. and what he has done very cleferlly is thecleverly they ha strategy without ever firing a shot. be the dominant power and replace the united states. they are largely succeeding at that president xi also, and this is a fact, he sees the united states as a declining power. china as a rising power. and he believes in 10 to 20 years china will replace the united states as the preeminent global power in the world today. and he just has been given the authority by the 19th communist party congress to pursue those goals. here's the art of diplomacy. we need something from him to denuclearize north korea for sure. we have to push back on that. we also have to push back on a trade imbalances, the currency manipulation, the cyber espionage going on stilstealing our intellectual

♪ >> it is november 8th, the day that we make america great again! >> a victory for donald trump in ohio can be called by the fox news decision desk. >> ohio has picked the president the last 13 elections in a row. this is a big deal. >> fox news decision desk is now projecting that donald trump has won the state of north korea. >> you know we are going to win tonight. but come with what may, he builds a movement. >> donald trump will win the state of florida. >> this is an ideological intellectual revolution of the kind we haven't seen since reagan. >> donald trump has won the state of wisconsin and there goes her blue wall. >> the clinton campaign headquarters, jen, we looked in there and it was very still. >> it is subdued. there are moments where you could hear a pin drop. >> fox news can now project that iowa will go to donald trump. we are going to make this

decision now. the fox news decision desk has called pennsylvania for donald trump. this means that donald trump will be the 45th president of the united states. winning the most unreal, surreal election we have ever seen. >> i can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. [cheers and applause] steve: it has been exactly one year since president trump's historic victory over hillary clinton and once again, we have convened a town hall panel to talk about where we stand. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. steve: all right. show of hands. who a year ago was positive that hillary would win? a little more than half of you. all right of the who predicted that donald trump was going to win? only four of you.

all right. who is pleased with year one of the trump administration? all right. erin, let's start with you. why? >> i think, look, we need to do some things on regulations, right? in order to reduce the cost of legislation. in terms of legislation we do need to get some things done. in terms of numbers he has made great accomplishments. steve: on his own without the need of congress. >> it's been totally unilateral i. the dow has had 72 closing highs since president trump took office. 72. most recent on november 3rd. all-time high. merger and acquisition transitions totaled $1.2 trillion sips he took office. so our economy is surging. unemployment is down below almost 4%, which is a 17-year low. he has done a lot of great things for our economy. steve: okay. so we had stuart varney on in the first hour of the program and we were talking about how the economic numbers have gone crazy. happy days are here again is what they're saying down on wall street.

who has actually felt that in your pocket though where have you seen your 401(k) go up or in your bank account. tell us about that. >> i'm invested in index funds. index funds go up and down with the s&p in general. he has had a great run since he has been president. steve: what about next year. >> i don't know if they will get a tax package through. have you mentioned he has gotten nothing through congress. that's true but why is he picking fights with moderate republicans who aren't his natural allies. steve: chuck, you are right next to him. when you look at the two gubernatorial blue states. neither one of them embraced donald trump. when you look at ed gillespie. he is as establishment as they get. what's the message to politicians on the republican side when it comes tomorrow bracing donald trump if they want to run for high office? >> you know this. i run campaigns for a living. there is an old adage you don't let your opponent to identify you before you get a chance to identify yourself. other thing is figuring how

close to donald trump do they really want to get in the base of the republicans and the base of democrats are going to show up. what we have to realize in '18 the republicans need to and i'm no republican stat gist if i was doing their playbook how do you expand their base, last night proved a way of coming on the democratic side we had never seen wins like that. we picked up 27 state legislators since he has been in office. maybe i should have raised my hands. steve: what do you think about year one for donald trump. >> to be quite honest i don't think it's gone well. if he wants to maintain his seat or run again in 2020, you cannot sell the same thing without evidence. and that's what we're seeing right now. he has to have evidence. that evidence will be rooted in legislative wins. so we have to make sure that we hold him accountable. i don't think that's necessarily a partisan issue. that's an american issue. making sure our president is held accountable. steve: david webb in the back row right there. you know, one of the problems for donald trump is he wanted to drain the swamp. he went to washington.

for the most part the swamp is still there. >> yeah, the swamp is going to be there for some time. you are not going to unravel what has been seven plus decades of the swamp in washington. you can pull the plug on it it's going to take time to unravel the bureaucratic problems that are there. there is a deep state in the sense of a legislative structure, a support system in lobbyists and special interests. you look at the district of corruption. and the documentary that was there about d.c. and the surrounding power and the money that circles that city. that's not going to go away. we are not really even into true year one. just year one since the election. we can't write the legislative obituary on the trump administration when you are literally not into the year one of the administration. steve: on the other side of the back row lauren appell. what do you think of the fact we heard earlier congress, why they are republican controlled not really helping the president? >> they are not helping the president. you are starting to see it with people like jeff flake

and bob corker. they are looking at their internal poll numbers and their constituents are starting to retire them. and they have chosen not to run for re-election. and they need to get on board with this president or they're going to see it in their next lexington cycle. they need to put their personal differences aside. whatever their issue may be. maybe their primary candidate didn't win. maybe they are upset about that. maybe they have a personal issue with him that they don't like him, they don't like his personality. they don't like the tweets, whatever the case may be. they need to put it aside and remember why they were elected and need to start doing their job. steve: nikki, you are right next door to her. i know you are a democrat. >> i am a democrat. steve: you are sympathetic to the trump voter. >> i am sympathetic i wrote about the play of the white working class during the election because i think it very much tracks with the plight of the black working class. i think that unity is what is missing. in terms of the lack of legislative success by donald trump, in some ways i

think that has been to his benefit to have his party go against him because he ran as a populist, as someone who was outside of both of those parties and i think that just reinforces for his voters that he is something different and for democratic voters, republicans, not supporting him, we enforces for us that he is not the person we necessarily want representing the country. all right. kish sharks down in the front row right here. donald trump, when he was running for president, made a lot of promises, he is only in one year. hasn't had a lot of the help from congress. do you feel like he has kept his promises thus far? >> absolutely not. while i can appreciate someone who is real and speaks their mind, i love people like that. i think he did a lot of talk and not a lot of acting. steve: don't most politician does that? >> they do. one of his major problems is that he is trying to run the country like it's a business. i hear all the financial numbers and unemployment rates are down. but we have to remember that this is a country of people. and i think legislators are

not passing what he wants because they are thinking of what's good for the people and not necessarily what's good for the finances of our country. steve: of course the president right now is in china. he is, you know, he's got some deals going over there think think we are going to be hearing about. you are a former infantryman in the marine corps reserve. how do you think about his strength through power that he i projecting around the world. >> i think it's fantastic. his overseas trip. so finest. trip in poland in the spring or summer was described by everyone as reaganesque. he reminded us the gift of freedom that we have here. if you see some of the pictures of him in japan with american troops. he is like a rock star to the american military men who i think under eight years of obama felt like, you know, they were doing a lot of heavy lifting and heavy fighting. the man in the white house didn't necessarily have their back. i think they feel that president trump has their back. steve: at your back is emma. elm marks you are the final

didn't we haven't spoken to yet. what's your observation about year one of the trump administration? >> look, i was a hillary supporter. i campaigned very publicly for her. i was very disappointed, needless to say. when it comes to women and policies on women, he has proven to be a bigger disappoint. that i had ever imagined. all of his policy is attacking women's rights whether it be reproductive rights and family rights. and talking about funding for after school programs or early head start programs. for military families, for child care for military families spending is being threatened. so we're not just talking about questionable policies like reproductive rights, we are talking about policies that affect working families. working families that elected trump. steve: sure, emma, as you look at the state of your party right now, after donna brazile has come out with her book that shows the dnc it looks like was in the tank for hillary and all those bernie supporters, they thought he had a chance but really he didn't. and all of this other stuff. your party is in trouble. >> yes. it's not a pretty picture. >> it's not a good look.

and just -- you know what? one of the greatest things that's come out of this election is that it's highlighted problems that need addressing. it has forced us to pay attention to gender inequality. i don't believe we would have this weinstein scandal going on if the president had not highlighted pent up anger in american women. when it comes to the party, yeah. we have big problems in the democratic party. and donna's big and the election is evidence of that we can get to work now. steve: exit question once again, audience participation. can i see the hands of those that are hopeful that year two is even better than year one? not hopeful? i guess not. that's okay. you are going to be back in an hour. ainsley is going to ask about that. great panel. thank you very much. meanwhile, vice president pence set to meet with victims and first responders down in sutherland, texas later today as we learn even more details about the

♪ steve: 13 minutes before the top of the hour. fox news alert. vice president mike pence will travel to texas later today in the wake of the horrific church shooting. ainsley: this happening as we learn brand new disturbing details about the killer. brian: adam housley is live in sutherland springs, texas. we are finding out what it was like inside this church and why this guy was even out to begin with, adam. right? >> these details are heart-breaking. you hear about the details of the story of survival that happened inside that church. 26 people died. there are still 12 in the hospital. four of those are children.

the investigation here continues. they are told they might end up -- wrap up the investigation here on site by later tonight. they still have a lot of investigative work to do. now, inside that church, the story of survival and heroickism is just unbelievable. joanna, for example, one mother, joanne ward was there with her four children. her husband did not attend church with her on sunday. she threw herself across her own children, saving the lives of two of them. sadly she and two of her other children died. this from a family spokesperson. >> she said "i would die for my children." and she ended up having to do that in the very end. that does not surprise any of us in this community that knows her because she loved them so. and she gave it up for them. ultimately. >> we're also now told that the gunman came to this church on halloween night for a fall festival with his own children and some of the

parishioners here felt that was a good sign that maybe he and his in-laws were making up. they would not understand that just a few days later he would return with a gun and do what he did here. some more stories from inside. another woman talking about how he walked in, sprayed the church, then would walk down pew by pew and finish people off. take a listen to this woman. >> i mean, it was so scary. and that man was shooting. i mean, he was shooting hard. i could feel the gunshots. i saw -- i saw them on the carpet because they have carpet in there i could see the gunshots, you know, coming down. >> and as this investigation continues, guys. the same debate we had a few years ago with the terror attack in san bernardino. they found his cell phone in his car here. they have not yet been able to crack that phone. they won't tell us the make or model. they ever taking to to quantico hoping to access it and find out why what drove this man to do such evil? steve: and the phone is

ainsley. ainsley: you're welcome. what was your reaction? in that sound bite the president mentioned chicago. he goes on to say that they have the strongest gun laws in chicago and they have more shootings than they do in any other city around the country. so it's not because of gun laws. stricter gun laws still more shootings. what was your reaction to that? >> right. if anything, ainsley, i would say chicago is more dangerous because we don't have enough good guys with guns as they had in texas where that massacre could have been even worse if it weren't for the intervention of a good guy with a gun. that doesn't really exist here in chicago. almost only the bad one guys are the ones with guns. my reaction as someone who loves this city lived who here is that chicago unfortunately slay complete failure right now. and it's a failure of blue policies. whether it's our failed educational system. whether it's the fiscal disaster that this city faces whether it's the danger in our streets. this is the most dangerous city in the developed world. i don't say that with any pride. but that's just the reality. by the way, the death toll

is grim and it's awful. the shootings though are even worse. chicago doctors have unfortunately become amazing at saving people. shootings in the last four years in this city are up 66% despite some of the toughest gun laws in america. no, we don't need even stricter gun laws. we need better policies for safety in this city. ainsley: you say blue policies. what do you mean by that? >> big government corruption, lack of school choice. our educational system here is a disaster. i think one of the reasons our streets are so dangerous, university of illinois just released a study black males between the age of 20 and 24 in the city of chicago, 47% of them are neither in school, nor employed. that's the recipe for violence. it's a recipe for accurately. why are they in that situation? i think largely because we put them in failing -- in a failing public school system. taxation on top of that, we are running businesses out of town. we are running people out of town literally. cook county losing population to places with red policies. places like texas and south

trump: i say to the north, do not underestimate us. >> one thing president xi understands strength and weakness. he knew i'm no longer dealing with obama. brian: ralph wins the race to become the next governor of virginia. ainsley: the president tweeted ed worked hard but did not embrace me or what i stand for. >> trying to be half in or half out with donald trump was never going to work. ainsley: vice president pence heading to southern land springs, texas today in the wake of the church shooting. >> i prefer to use the word rigged. >> she was such a loyalist devoted to the party and now she's helping tear it apart.

steve: it has been exactly one year since president trump had a victory over hillary clinton. >> fixing problems in washington. >> donald trump was that bresh of fresh air in the system. >> i think that unity is what's missing. >> he's like a rock star to the american military. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ brian: i would rather be. i never heard -- i hear this song all the time. i knew knew that was a band. steve: i think the message is there's no place you would rather be. ainsley: than right here on the curvy couch. there's no place you would

rather be than in your kitchen or. brian: we don't care what you're dressed. we just care you're watching. steve: hey, the president of the united states has been in the midst of his asia trip be we know he went to japan, and we know they're going to do business deals with japan. we haven't heard the amount yet. we heard he's going to do deals with south korea. while the president who currently is in china, while the president is in china, united states and china will sign deals for $250 billion for american companies. a quarter of a trillion dollars worth of business the united states is going to be doing with china. ainsley: and china today meeting with vladimir putin tomorrow. yesterday was in south korea. brian: right in south korea and sending a strong message. a strong message that we got your back. but here's a what's different about this president and this visit to south korea. this is the first time north korea's aiming their

rockets and their missiles not just at them, but us. not just our allies but provinces and west coast. there's a mutual urgency. listen. trump: today, i hope i speak not only for our countries, but for all civilized nations when i say to the north do not underestimate us. and do not try us. we will defend our common security, our shared prosperity, and our sacred liberty. the time for excuses is over. now is the time for strength. if you want peace, you must stand strong at all times. the world -- [applause] the world cannot tolerate the menace of a rogue regime that

threatens with nuclear devastation. all responsible nations must join forces to isolate the brutal regime of north korea, to deny it and any form. any form of it you cannot support. you cannot supply. you cannot accept. steve: the key phrase there when he was talking about how all nations need to unify against a threat, clearly, he's talking about north korea as a threat. but he's also saying to china. hey, china, i'm coming to your country next. you need to help us, otherwise, there's going to be hell to pay. remember that whole fire and fury thing the way he was talking about north korea within the last month. now he has dialed it back. but still the message is clear. ainsley: people in south korea loved it because the only thing separating them, and north korea, the dmz is the border.

they're terrified what the dictator could do why are you laughing. brian: because i was thinking about how the speech started. because it started with, hey, you guys are great golfers. the u.s. open at my place. and you guys did very well. and everyone clapped. i just thought to myself i didn't last as long as you did. i watched the beginning of the speech, and i thought it was -- ainsley: i don't think the golfing thing is the reason he got two standing ovations. i think it was the message to north korea. they called and introduced our president as the leader of the world. steve: that's right. and one other thing that we have not been talking about this morning and that is the fact that the president himself tried to make a surprise visit to the dmz and tried to chopper up in marine 1 but the fog was so thick, he was unable to do it. nonetheless, he did try to get that iconic photo. it's not going to exist from this trip. brian: should have left earlier with bret baier. bret baier would have given him a ride. ainsley: he actually diagrammed it all for us.

what was interesting is sarah huckabee sanders said when she had to tell the press where she was going, she held up a sign saying dmz. she said that's the way they told me to tell the press. i don't know if this is the way the south koreans want to tell the press. brian: we don't want to create additional fury. we've had presidents go there before. meanwhile, i talked to general jack keane about what this means and the message we have to give to china. even though we have leaders friendly with each other, it has to be a stern message. message. steve: stern. ainsley: message. steve: here's jack keane. that's four cues. >> we need something from him to be nuclearized new york for sure. we also have to push back on delayed imbalances, the currency manipulation, the cyber espionage that's going on stealing our intellectual

property. so president trump can't just ask for something. he has to push back, and he has to stake a claim that the united states leadership is going to be felt in that region. brian: you know what i also think goes a long way. if you look at the president's staff. i saw the cut aways, there's general kelly, there's general mcmaster and general mattis was just there. so if you're trying to send a message and wondering what this president's about, his rhetoric is strong, his presence is strong, and the people he hired are strong. he means strong. believe it or not, we're now in a world where message of peace worked. but it doesn't. steve: well, clearly, the message is crystal clear presented by the white house and north korea. we're going to do everything we can and try to help us to get rid of your nuke. more on that later. but breaking overnight. big night for democrats. ainsley: and in new jersey, phil murphy beating out kim.

brian: yep. griff jenkins is live in washington, d.c. hey, griff. >> hey, guys. yeah, democrats celebrating across the country, no more than where won by nine points. won on a message declaring president trump and continued that message in his victory speech. >> virginia has told us to end the divisiveness that we will not condone hatred and bigotry and to end the politics that have torn this country apart. >> that speech interrupted by protesters holding signs that read sanctuary for all. boog the governor as he was left off the stage. despite choosing not to campaign with or embrace president trump, something the president faulted him for over

twitter last night. nevertheless, the former rnc chairman conceding with class. >> governor elect is a good man, and i appreciate his service to our country and our commonwealth, and i wish him nothing but the best success as our 73rd governor. >> and in new jersey as you mentioned, democrat phil murphy easily defeating candidate kim by 12 points. we're going to hear a lot about what this all means for 2018, guys. ainsley: i'll tell you what it means. it means virginia is a democratic state, new jersey is a democratic state, so the democrats win. brian: yeah. thank you, griff. ainsley: thank you, griff. steve: the headline in the new york times. the democrats scored two big infarcts trump's rebuke. it's hard to understand how that's a rebuke because you just mentioned that they were both states a win for hillary clinton. the other thing is ed never really asked the president to do anything. kept him at arm's length. it would have been a rebuke had he said, hey, mr.

president come down and campaign for me or commercials for me. he didn't do any of that until they made an emergency call yesterday morning and said could you robo-call from asia to help me? which the president did, but it was too little too late. and he lost by more than the pollsters were saying just days ago. brian: they point out that they were a lot tighter. the republican who got no support and ed almost won to have that senate seat. so they thought this would be a little bit closer. meanwhile, steve bannon did weigh in at the last second and said ed's my guy. so the president tweeted this out. ed worked hard but did not embrace me or what i stand for. don't forget, republicans win four out of five house seats in the special elections. the economy doing record numbers. we will continue to win even bigger than before. which is strange because if you're worried about the economy, this president has some strong numbers that says the economy's on the right track.

steve: well, maybe the wake-up call is for establishment conservatives like ed if you're going to run for office and you don't embrace the president, you might not win. ainsley: yeah, a lot of people saying he should have been all in or not rub at all. steve: well, it's part of his strategic. this morning they're saying maybe we should have done it the other way. brian: yeah, jillian only supports two of us, and she's able to do well here. ainsley: i don't know what you're saying behind my back, though, brian. that's why you're the one she doesn't support. brian: i think. two out of three. >> i support all three of you. coming up on your news of the day beginning with a fox news alert. today vice president pence is heading to texas in the wake of the horrific church shooting. survivors now say the gunman targeted crying children and babies during the rampage and that he took his own kids to the church earlier for a halloween party. that gunman's past getting more disturbing by the day. in addition to the domestic assault, we now know he was

>> that, i believe, is close to the textbook definition of treason. >> this is moving into perjury. false statements. and even potentially treason. steve: democrats famously yelled treason after donald trump jr.'s meeting with that russian lawyer pictured screen right right there. so what do they say now? the same lawyer also met with fusion gps, the firm behind the antitrump dossier. judicial watch tom joins us now live from our nation's capitol. tom, so fusion gps met with that lawyer before she went in and met with donald trump jr. and then after she met with donald trump jr. went back and met with fusion gps. what was going on? >> it looks like a setup, especially since fusion gps

was being paid by the dnc and the hillary operation around the same time. and it's either a scam or a setup. if it's a setup, obviously, that's a real major issue. but the scam is if fusion gps that alleged collusion with the trump campaign when, in fact, they were working, it looks like, to pressure the campaign on behalf of the russians. and this dossier that they're all behind is, i think, in the end, the crux or the key to unraveling the whole obama administration for spying and leaking and criminal investigation. i want to know when the fbi knew about the dossier and its origin and what mr. mueller knows about the dossier and its origin. i think this whole investigation fruit to the poison tree and needs to be shut down. ainsley: that is incredible news if it was proven that

they were calling russian collusion, russian collusion with the president, president trump, and they were the reason for collusion, they were setting him up for failure all along, what's the punishment for that? what happens next? how can they get away with that? >> well, you know, by the mueller standard, you're subject to criminal investigation for talking to russians. you're called up on the hill for talking to russians. donald trump jr. has been called up on the hill. i know based on reports, his lawyers are communicating with special council's office. is the clinton operation going to be subject to the same type of scrutiny by mr. mueller? i doubt it because frankly the dossier of mueller, they are together. i mean, they've got to -- he's got to be held responsible for the use of the dossier at this point. steve: yeah. >> and mr. comey does too, by the way. steve: tom, i was watching the house floor on c-span last night, and i saw jim jordan and mark meadows, and a number of other congressional republicans say that mr. mueller's got to recuse --

quit the job, essentially. they've got to get rid of him. but also, there should be a special investigator, special council to look into uranium one and the dossier and all of that other stuff. are you onboard with that? >> oh, sure. let's begin with the clinton e-mails and work our way back from there. that was to cover up pay for play, the foundations, and now the you are i take it back one of thuranium one. that is part of the allegations. i think the american people want an independent, serious investigation, and one that is not compromised by the likes of someone like mr. mueller and someone subject to control unlike this special council. and this is why mr. trump was elected to make sure that mrs. clinton in part was held accountable. ainsley: well, he's trying to. he's asking the doj to investigate all of her dishonesty. >> well, they should follow the lead to the voters that led to the doj. ainsley: our next guest is the

son of an iranian immigrant and was just elected to city council. he's here to tell us why he loves america. next

if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that. (snaps) if you'd have told me that i could afford...

a gig-speed. a gig-speed network. it's like 20 times faster than what most people have. i'd of said... i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far. now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. >> good morning to and welcome back. a teacher is on administrative leave after he was caught on camera allegedly threatening a student. >> well, the man in that video, paul hagueen was apologized for the comments in front of students in georgia.

the incident is under investigation. three college basketball players are benched after being arrested for shoplifting in china. ucla fresh man will not play in a scheduled game against georgia tech on friday. if convicted, they could reportedly face up to ten years in prison. and it's country music's biggest night. ♪ ♪ >> brad paisley and carrie underwood will host the country music awards for the 10th executive time but will have a more somber feel as they pay tribute for the 58 lives lost in a las vegas massacre. brian: talk about life of service. our next guest, the son of an iranian immigrant has more than 16 years serving in the navy and afghanistan and army and currently an officer in the naval reserve. but his story doesn't end there. has traveled internationally with president bush as well as

obama and a photo journalist and yesterday, added something else to his résume. was elected to the city council. joining us right now to discuss all of this. congratulations. >> thank you so much, brian. great to be with us this morning. brian: why did you feel you had to add something else to your résume? what about this attracted you? >> you know, ever since growing up from the time i was in scouts to earning my eagle scout award, i always had a heart of service, and i believe we have to come together to take our community and state and nation forward. and, you know, the years in the military have given me the opportunity to work with folks from all different sides. to really work towards a goal much greater and important than the our own. brian: i remember in the '80s, they had a guy playing, and we were at war and the hostages taken with iran, and he felt as though we had to have security with them because even though he was an american, he was iranian dissent. did you have to overcome

people's perception of iranians? >> not at all through my sister's campaign. my mom's an ohio gal. met my father. and their decision to have my sister and i in on ohio is what gave me the american heritage. and having the opportunity to get out and meet with folks across the opportunity. having knocked on more than 6,000 doors part of my listening and learning tour, i really felt that folks embraced that diversity. and i'm part of the diversity of this country that really makes america what it is. to give people the opportunity to pursue the american dream and really roll their sleeves up and be part of what makes our country the greatest nation in the world. brian: a lot of people who are here for generations don't understand how special this country is. what did you learn traveling the globe that helps you become a better councilman here at home? >> the first thing i learned is really that our country is truly the greatest nation anywhere in the world. to have a political process

where our voters can roll their sleeves up, get engaged, and have their voices heard, you know, in this political process that we have, it's truly amazing. you know, traveling around the world with both president bush and president obama as well as two secretaries of defense and a secretary of state really drove home and gave me an appreciation really for what our men and women are doing around the world 24 hours a day, seven days a week to give us the opportunity to live here, you know, in a free nation where we have the opportunity to go out and pursue that dream. whether it being engaged in the workforce or public servicer or worshiping. whomever you choose to worship. there's no other place anywhere in the world relate to has what we have flight america. and to be part of that process is really just a humbling experience. brian: so one of the things you want to do is actually help vets transition to civilian life, and we have veterans day coming up this weekend. how do you plan on doing that?

>> so first and foremost, you know, here in the great state of ohio, middle america, we have about 865,000 veterans and, brian, that's the sixth largest population of veterans in the united states. i believe our men and women have risen their hand, and they said send me. so when these men and women come back, i believe they're the greatest untapped human potential we have. the sacrifice that they have expender displayed over years and years of combat, you know, around our world in peace-keeping missions helping them transition to higher education, helping them get involved in the workforce. helping them achieve their small business dreams, desires, and, you know, those passions that really have made america what it is. brian: all right. congratulations on the win. thanks so much for joining us today and telling us what the people of ohio can look forward to. >> i appreciate it. you know, i really couldn't have done it without my wife kim and my

campaign manager matthew. so thank you so much, brian, for having me on this morning. brian: that might be the two important names that you could have mentioned. thank you so much. appreciate it. coming up next, one year anniversary of president trump's historic election win. town hall is back again. fresh off of an appearance on facebook live to talk to you live in just the matter of momes i wanted to know who i am and where i came from. i did my ancestrydna and i couldn't wait to get my pie chart.

the most shocking result was that i'm 26% native american. i had no idea. just to know this is what i'm made of, this is where my ancestors came from. and i absolutely want to know more about my native american heritage. it's opened up a whole new world for me. discover the story only your dna can tell. order your kit now at ancestrydna.com. you've probably seen me running all over the country in search of our big idaho potato truck. but not any more. i am done with that. ooh, ooh hot - just gonna stay home on the farm, eat a beautiful idaho potato, and watch tv with my dog... tv anncr: the big idaho potato truck pulled into town today and it's really a sight to see. oh man...let's go....

did yon the national debt?ssman get elected by talking tough will they stay true to their words? or did they promise you one thing... only to do another? right now, congress is talking about tax cuts that will add trillions to our national debt and hurt our economy. it's time to tell congress... don't borrow more money from china. and leave more debt to our kids. keep your word. tax cuts shouldn't add to the national debt.

>> it is november 8th. the day that we make america great again. >> a victory by donald trump in ohio can be called by the fox news decision desk. >> fox news has called the president. >> donald trump has won the state of north carolina. >> we know we're going to win tonight but come what may. >> donald trump will win the state of florida.

>> this is an idea logical and electoral revolution that we haven't seen. >> donald trump has won the state of wisconsin and there goes. >> we looked in there and was very still. >> it is subdued. there are moments where you could hear a pen drop. >> fox news can now project that iowa will go to donald trump. we are going to make this decision now. the fox news decision desk has called pennsylvania for donald trump. this means that donald trump will be the 45th president of the united states. winning the most unreal, surreal election we have ever seen. >> i can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. [applause]

ainsley: we all remember where we were when that news broke. it has been one year since presiden president trump's historic victory over hillary clinton. we are back now with our panel talking about where we all stand today. you all remember where you were; right? some of you were crying. some of you were cheering. you were. what were your thoughts last year at this time? >> my thoughts is it was not a surprise. hillary clinton was the worst candidate i've seen run on a national stage. she did not go to states, to chuck's earlier point going after the independents not the base. she never went there. and donald trump reflected what union members at uaw, about our economics, and we need to change in washington on the establishment on all sides. ainsley: did it backfire on her? i guess it did, obviously, when she talked about deplorables and talked about trump supporters are races. >> never a good idea when you're category ring for national office. ainsley: that's david web. you know david. fox news contributor and radio talk show host.

former prosecutor. >> i was hopeful because he said in his victory speech, i want to bind the wounds of division. he said he wanted to reunite the country. unfortunately, as jeff flake pointed out, he seems to take joy in division. he doesn't really want to unite us. >> started day one after the election with the resistance led by the democrats fostered by hillary clinton and the democratic party. we're now hearing that the democrats, as they have always been with identity politics, were interested in dividing the country. find me the legislation he's put in place about divisiveness and about americans. ainsley: dr. wendy, she has her hpd, liberal political commentator. you disagree with david. why. >> i do disagree with david because we're making it seem as trump hasn't added to the wounds of this country. ainsley: what has he done. >> he has used language that has ignited the flames. he has called mothers of

athletes. there are things that he has done that you have to choose one side or the other. ainsley: you're talking about the national anthem. >> yeah. and as a leader, your job is not to divide, your job is to heal. and especially 1,600 pennsylvania avenue, that job is greater for you. ainsley: karen, i want to go to you. because you fought for our country. marine core reserves republican new york assemblyman. we're talking about the national ant em. what are your thoughts? >> you know, the national anthem has always been a source of unity. my family only goes back 75 years in this country, but i feel connected to george washington. i feel connected to the star-spangled banner. clarence thomas was on this network the other day, and he said we lost the unum. and undermining the national anthem, we are undermining that unity, and i think president trump has unified a lot of americans behind the fact that we want the anthem respected.

>> this is about inequality. opportunity is what binds americans. ainsley: let me introduce you. this is nicki johnson of houston. an attorney sympathetic to trump voters. i do want to talk about this. no matter if you disagree with the people that are kneeling and not standing up, i'm one of those. i think everyone should stand. however, i do want to hear from the individuals that are kneeling because i love them. we love them. they're americans. they support the black community. they go into their communities, and they do so much for their families and for charity i believe organizations. so we need to listen to them. you say it is about unifying our country. how do we do that? >> but it's about inequality that has been experienced by the african-american community, about us not having access to good education, safe schools, good neighborhoods. nobody said the military does. but why are we -- you know what? i'm sorry. inequality is -- inequality is divisive. you know what? if we -- when we riot --

excuse me. when we riot, we are told that we are being divisive. when we march, we're being told we're divisive. no. no. i'm sorry. this is a peaceful protest. >> this is the most patriotic thing you can do. and when we have our leaders. and i don't care who they are. white nfl executives or black african-american nfl stars that are looked up to by all races in this country, this is democracy and peaceful protest. i think we all agree we need change in this country. and what more beautiful way to express that. >> just because you don't agree doesn't mean they can't do it. it's a first amendment right. you talk about the second amendment right. >> no. i disagree with you. i'm trying to ask a simple question. you talk about in. how do you get to inequality? if you talk about education, you have to look at the failure in the inner cities, the failure of the public school system. the failure to support school choice. the failure to give people options for an education.

>> it goes in one ear and out the other. >> no one can hear you at home when you all yell. you've watched so many panels. it's annoying at home because we can't hear you at all. chuck, let's change the conversation because it's a little too heated right now. we appreciate it, but let's move on to the news of the day. donna brazil, she originally said that the election was rigged in hillary's favor, and then she walks that back. and the word she used was cancer. how do you feel because people don't know your past, let me read this. chuck, democratic strategist, president of solidarity strategies, and you were a former bernie surrogate. you're still friends with him today. have you talked to him or people that worked with him and what's his reaction? >> look, i dedicated a year of my life to the campaign. i was a senior adviser there for 14 months making very senior decisions. i watched american revolution actually happen where people thought they had a voice. we brought in democrats. we brought in republicans.

we brought in independents. we've seen these young kids who thought what are the possibilities that we maybe could reach for something; right? and we all felt we were running against a machine in the establishment. we never knew everything that was going on. this book brought to light. it's very disappointing. but not to me. it's about the people who actually came out and voted. it's about the young kids between 18 and 26 who maybe never participated before, ainsley. who want to do something different. i feel sad for them because their vote made it the other day, but it didn't even count. ainsley: trump supporter, you wanted to come on this morning when we were talking in the greenroom, you wanted to give your opinion about gun control. >> absolutely. and i've been a trump supporter since the beginning, i've known him over a decade, and i was traveling in the swing state, so i know, inc., ver evening. the issue that we saw, the people that were supposed to protect us, our government, did nothing. they failed. the air force is supposed to register this man who i won't even mention his name, and

would not be able to obtain a gun, but he was able to obtain a gun. the statistics shows mass shootings, the police response time is 11 minutes. so we need people with guns to help as well. ainsley: a mom who was on the press team for rick santorum, freelance writer. i want you to -- we're going to have to wrap this up. i want to get you next. can you give us a hopeful meng message for the future? this church shooting. we're all depressed and sad about that thinking about the families, something hopeful going forward. >> just to touch on the gun control thing too. like she just said, the gun control would not have helped that. and taking a gun away from somebody, that doesn't take the evil away. ainsley: right? >> because as we just saw here in new york city, somebody can take a truck and plow into somebody on the street. ainsley: and make the innocent more vulnerable. we can't defend ourselves. >> it absolutely does. and i think moving forward, president trump is doing a great job, and i think that he

has accomplished a lot in his first term in office without much help from republicans in congress. and i'm excited to see what the next year brings. ainsley: all right. keisha on the front row. mom and attorney. you're a mom. what's the message you're telling your children about hope? >> i would say number one, we have to be unified, and we have to think about the safety of our country first and not get so much into who's right, who's wrong. democrat versus republican. i'm so tired of it. we need to just do what's right, and that's going to ensure that our children have a brighter future and put safety first and put more money in our law enforcement agencies. instead of giving people the right to carry firearms, let's talk about the 28th amendment, which puts safety of our citizens first. ainsley: thank you, all, for being here. god bless you all. coming up, new jersey governor chris christie not leaving office quietly. listen to this. >> it's serving folks like you that's really such a unique joy. it really is. you're fabulous. ainsley: that was a heckler. somebody who doesn't agree with had me i. we'll tell you that story and the story behind that

steve: you know, chris christie got famous because years ago, there was a youtube video floating around where he was confronting people at different town halls in new jersey. well, we got a little flavor of that yesterday. he was out and about on voting day and a constituent who wanted the city of new jersey, some of the burrows to combine forces and resources blamed him that it never happened. and then this happened. >> you're so frustrated. you know what? the easiest thing in the world is to stand where you stand, stand on the sidelines and critique -- well, you're not. but you're the one here doing the critiquing. so you want to merge, run for the township committee. run for the township committee and be the voice to do it.

no, i know because that's too hard. it's easier to sit here. it's easier to sit here and complain. it's easier to sit here. >> i don't have money like you. >> oh, i'm sure. easier to sit here and complain. but you know what? that's the joy of public service. it's serving folks -- yeah, it's serving folks like you that is really such a unique joy. it really is. you're fabulous. brian: he's not going to take a backwards step. he doesn't leave. after his first term, he was on deck to favorite to get the nomination. ainsley: i bet his approval generating is going up right now as we speak, if that's even possible now. i mean, he's still in office until the inauguration. steve: he was replaced in new jersey. term limits. and now there is going to be a democrat replacing the republican in garden state. brian: right. it's going to be very interesting to see if he joins in some way, shape, or form the trump administration. because i think if jeff sessions ever decides to step down, how great of a attorney

general would be. although, the approval process would be interesting. steve: although, there are things that chris christie said in the early days of the administration that the administration didn't like. and they've got a long memory. so anyway, it will be interesting what he does. meanwhile, coming up a powerful documentary provides a firsthand look at the war against isis. with a preview coming up next. brian: but first, let's check in with sandra smith with for what's coming up. bill hemmer has approved this; right? >> always. democrats winning two key races. what's the backlash and what does it tell us for 2018? rnc chair mcdaniel is here. don't try us, after delivering that fiery speech against north korea last night. ed royce joins us on's high stakes visit to china this morning. and house lawmakers pushing forward on tax reform. but it's facing a lot of push back from both sides. senate gop conference chairman

producer show the joins us right now. the show is called volunteers. it premiers on veterans day. >> correct. steve: who are the volunteers? >> they are three americans, an australian, and a german who went over to syria, spent about six months over there and started a medical unit and were the first front line combat caregivers for the ypg or the kurdish fighters of. steve: those are the good guys. syria is hell on earth. why did they volunteer? >> well, river -- the cameraman that went over there for six months, he and i worked together on a documentary in afghanistan. and when we were in afghanistan, we saw a lot of the beginnings of isis in 2014. steve: yeah. >> well, he went over to syria in february of 2016 and spent six months over there documenting, you know, the war against isis. and, you know, he met these other men over there, and the most powerful story i've ever seen. and he came back with 300 hours of footage, and i was

able to wiggling it down to three hours, which premiers this veterans day. steve: does it drive you crazy that so many people just aren't paying attention to what's going on around the world? they have no idea what's going on. the people you profile and the volunteers coming up on veterans day, they have -- wait, we're still there? we thought that was over. >> yeah. it is frustrating. you can't hold it against people sometimes, steve, because they're so busy trying to take care of their families and lives that they can't pay attention. but, you know, a documentary like the volunteers, it forces you to notice what's happening over there. steve: and you're talking about the war on terror. but specifically, isis. which took over such a big part of syria for a very long time. but now, you know, we've heard out of washington, things seem to be turning around there. >> yeah. yeah. it looks like isis is on the ropes as far as holding territory. they've lost i think almost all of their territory. but this war is going on for a long time. it's generational. it's an idea that we're fighting. and it has to be attacked

from, you know, many ways to be successful. you have to, you know, attack it from trying to start the next generation and teach them and show them a different way. steve: listen, your work is fantastic. you are a great documentarian. on november 11th and 12th at 10:00 p.m. thank you very much. it's always a pleasure. good to see you here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters sumatra reserve. let's go to sumatra. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. so we give farmers like win more plants. to grow more delicious coffee. which helps provide for win's family. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters.
