percentage point. doesn't look to be moving that direction. we will wait and see what the reaction is. ow joe jones -- doug jones >> at the end of the day this race has been about dignity and respect. >> god is always in control. >> just obtained the anti-trump text messages that led robert mueller to remove strzok from the russia investigation. >> no way this is sexist at all the talking about a system we have that is broken.

♪ sweet home alabama ♪ sweet home alabama ♪ heather: good morning. a fitting song to start the show. that is a live shot of new york city. all eyes were on alabama overnight. a very busy one. let's get to that fox news alert. and upset in alabama and democrat doug jones is declared the winner against republican roy more in a very tight race for the senate but roy more refusing to concede saying it is not over yet. in montgomery, alabama the latest. this would be the first democrat in two decades. >> that is right.

more than that. in a conventional election cycle in alabama many would have said a victory for a democrat in a statewide election would have been impossible but this campaign was far from conventional. this is a solidly red's date and democrat doug jones has become the first member of his party to be elected to the senate from alabama in 25 years. >> there are issues of healthcare and jobs and the economy, we try to make sure this campaign was about finding common ground and reaching across and getting things done for the people. >> reporter: the biggest factor bringing about his victory were the allegations of sexual impropriety facing his republican opponent, roy moore, who rode to the polls on horseback yesterday denies the allegations and has yet to concede the race. is campaign hoping the count would come within half a percentage point of jones which

would trigger a recount. >> when the vote is this close it is not over. and we still have to go by the rules about the recount provision, weight on god and let this process play out. it is not over. it will take some time. thank you. >> reporter: with jones having 49.9% of the vote to run for's 28.4 a recount appears highly unlikely the alabama gop issued a statement saying we are deeply disappointed in the extremely close election results with our candidates judge roy moore we respect devoting process given to us by our founding fathers. overnight donald trump tweeted congratulations to doug jones in a hard-fought victory, write in votes played a big factor but a win is a win, the people of alabama are great and the republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short time, it never ends.

>> 22,000 right in votes. thank you for joining us, appreciate it. doug jones abstaining victory in a deep red state of alabama putting more pressure on republicans to hold onto the majority and dana perino host of the daily briefing and former white house press secretary said if this outcome shocked you break yourself sell for 2018. >> based on what we heard from voter analysis and the outcome is his denials were not credible enough but also that we are in an era of political disruptions so nobody thought trump could win at the beginning in june 2015 and he is our president, democrat hasn't been elected in alabama in 25 years, this is a specific circumstance, without these allegations, roy more would definitely be the senator from alabama. one thing to look at is the

turnout pattern in virginia's gubernatorial race that happened last month in which ed gillespie, the republican, lost big-time in virginia and one of the things to look at is donald trump in virginia won married women by 10 points, ed gillespie lost by one point and lost so big. >> another big story, this is huge. loathsome human, idiot and talk of watergate, we now know exactly what was in those anti-trump texts sent by the fbi agent, it is not pretty. some of it we can't even share on morning tv. griff jenkins live with a stunning new text message that have been obtained by fox news that i couldn't stop going through these, it is crazy. >> reporter: these obtained by fox news between two fbi agent assigned to the russia probe,

leading robert mueller to remove strzok from the investigation and the language is at times profane and not for morning television. and the fuel the narrative the investigation tainted. last year, trump is a loathsome human being. yet he may win. would be a worse president than ted cruz. yes, i think so, i am not sure. oh my god, he is an idiot. hillary should when 100 million-0. i know. all this is taking place while strzok is an integral part of the fbi investigation into hillary clinton's emails, fbi director james coming back's assessment for grossly negligent to extremely careful. page appears to acknowledge they are doing something they

shouldn't. we talk about hillary because it can't be traced. after donald trump got the domination, on 20 october. i am riled up, trump is an idiot. not able to provide a coherent answer, shouting across texting. and and the reaction from the white house has been stern, and last night. >> conflict of interest in the fbi department of justice, fusion gps matter is breathtaking in scope? >> there is also this

november 10th exchange which shows king from strzok come all the president's men, figured i needed to brush up on watergate. good god. the revelations, the deputy attorney general rob rosenstein is expected to testify before a house oversight committee, the president appointed mueller in the first place. if that wasn't enough for you this also comes, donald trump junior calling for an investigation before he is interviewed a day behind closed doors. it is certainly an understatement, a stunning development. >> the construction continues.

the bias just exposed, people at the forefront of the collusion investigation, peter strzok not only had a hand in interviewing cheryl mills, hmmma aberdeen and general flynn, the anti-trump dossier and the email investigation. national security strategist now calling the investigation from being corrupt. >> this whole investigation is a sham, a house of cards and it should be closed down tomorrow morning, you don't have to agree with the president of the united states, an employee of the department of defense for six years under president obama. i did not vote for him but the fact is this is a senior law enforcement official, wasn't just a bureaucrat but an individual who has been hard to

investigate a sitting president who considers, agrees this is a loathsome individual. how does that mean you will investigate him? what is your ax to grind, and an impartial peace officer if that is your opinion of the most senior member of our government. and utter outrage. heather: all the white house interviews are over in robert mueller's russia probe. new facebook push revealing port authority suicide bomber taunted donald trump moments before his botched attack as the president doubles on his promise to end the program that led him going to the country in the first place, new details unfolding at

this hour. >> chilling details about the want to be terrorist to targeted one of the biggest homes in new york city right before detonating a port authority bomb, posted a message to our commander in chief on facebook writing trump, you failed to protect your nation, a note in his passport, america, die in your rage. it comes if his family faces backlash over their controversial statement chastising law enforcement for interrogating family members, ex-cia analyst and radio host mark sexton mocking them tweeting sorry, our son tried to blow up a lot of you on your way to work today but the cops were kind of rude to us. after that. we want answers. former talkshow host montel williams discussed it posting on twitter this moronic, offensive,

morally indefensible statement just cost chair national my support. i am done. hula will make his first court appearance from his hospital bed today, came 7 years ago to the extent the family chain migration program allowing him in because a visa in the lottery. >> lottery system and chain migration, we are going to end them past. congress must get involved immediately and they are involved, they will be ended. >> centers for immigration, 99% of the 12,000 immigrant visas where family best. he is facing criminal possession of a weapon, supporting an active terrorism and making a

terroristic threat. >> the city council making moves that will make it difficult for police to do their job. this fox news alert, the us making a move to get kim jung un to come to the table. >> we are talking at a time north korea would like to talk. heather: another missile test could be coming home. what does the democratic win in alabama mean for donald trump's agenda? our next guest says there is one key republican bill doug jones needs to get on board with. colin kaepernick sparking a new rave of outrage visiting printers behind bars. officers say he is putting their lives in danger.

>> alabama, we have been at crossroads in the past, we have usually taken the wrong forward. tonight you took the right road. heather: doug jones declaring a surprise victory in alabama as embattled opponent roy moore refuses to concede. republicans down a seat in the senate. how does this impact the president's agenda. thank you for this, appreciate it. big night in alabama. and the republican agenda moving forward. >> we don't think toward the beginning of next year, a month to pass tax reform. even if they don't, doug jones

looking at voting for these things, if you look at north dakota and they are hurting themselves by not voting with republicans on things like tax reform and doug jones is a dead man walking in 2020 unless he works with republicans so the trump agenda may not be dead. i think doug jones will have to work with republicans in order to get anything done and that is a good thing to have some bipartisanship on the hill. heather: republicans could only lose two votes before, now they can only lose one. is there one area more important for jones to come on board than others? >> some areas make sense like infrastructure, jones ran infrastructure so trump shouldn't lose on the infrastructure bill. looking at issues like healthcare reform, alabama is having terrible trouble in their health care system so there will be significant bipartisanship in the trump agenda, jones has to

get on board or he won't have a chance in 2020 and does he just give up on 2020 and be who he wants to be? left of center person than what he ran on. jillian: what about midterm elections moving forward? the president said it never ends. another election coming soon. >> republicans have to learn a lesson. roy moore was a flawed candidate and republicans didn't show up because of those allegations but you have to remember democrats if you look at the turn out were ultra energized. places in highly democrat areas turned out higher than ever before. the but who didn't approve of the president turned out higher propensities than anybody else. 22,000 right in votes. any republican would have won, democrats are very energized, republicans don't learn from that we will have big issues in 2018. heather: brand-new anti-trump text messages with the mueller team members, one was taken off,

strzok has been moved to human resources. obviously anti-trump to say the least, some of these we can't even share. the what do you think of that? >> it is undermining people's belief in government and the american system. we heard donald trump say crazy things about the investigation you shouldn't believe and you see text messages like this people start to believe that and when you have the fbi and multimillion dollar investigation being undermined like this it withers away people's trust in government and faith in american institutions and that is a sad thing so not only should these people be punished but it is sad when you have to investigate the investigators in america. we need to investigate the investigators to get to the bottom of whether this is a fair

investigation and -- heather: i don't know how it could be at this point. >> that is crazy. heather: the we appreciate you joining us, a lot to talk about today and we will be back, much more straight ahead. is this a phone?

hope and inspiration but according to rikers island prison guards it was anything but. union leaders are up in arms by colin kaepernick's invitation to the new york city prison saying it would only encourage inmates to attack officers. according to a statement from the president of the correction officers benevolent association, this would only encourage inmates to continue to attack corrections officers at a time we need more protection. corrections officers find themselves caught in bill diblasio's political con game. colin kaepernick spoke to inmates about police brutality and social injustice, and there's a lot of concern over him being there. on social media, let him try being a corrections, and police brutality changed. the men and women in blue who keep us safe, another twitter you this is what do you expect? he wore pig stocks to protest police to reach out to troubled

minorities, seems like an attempt to rub salt in that wounds. colin kaepernick should be applauded for using his celebrity to possibly change lives. pretty controversial situation. heather: from the anti-trump movement. and in a interview with both the, it affected my life because i don't want to be that. in show business, actually shy, hard to do all this stuff. with insider in golden globes when making that infamous anti-trump speech, most hollywood elites would do the same, they are wasting their time whining like losers. pretty powerful stuff. heather: the internet up in arms

about the right way -- should we say the internet is divided, maybe cut in half? a tweet from a british student union said which way would you prefer staff to cut your toast at the end of the night? horizontal or vertical? we want to hear from "fox and friends" first viewers. how do you think is the right way to cut toast? i go with number one, always naked taste better. >> i am getting hungry. let us know what you think. 27 minutes after the top of the hour. despite two recent terror attacks in new york city, liberal politicians taking new steps to stop officers from doing their job. our next guest is nori city councilman who says the pc police putting all of us in danger.

heather: a very busy morning, new york city's finest under growing pressure as terrorists take aim. why is city council push legislation that would make it harder for officers to do their job. joe borelli, we had a terrorist attack, a suicide bomber, six weeks prior to that, the terrorist used a van to attack people on the west side highway but city council is planning to do what? >> why the city council would choose this moment. passing a bill that basically constrains the desire to be proactive and do the kind of thing we are hoping police officers are doing.

heather: we hear from people like if you see something say something, we want to get that message out but when officers see something by this their hands are tied. >> it would require an officer to get a person's consent, and you have a situation where a person decides to say to the officer i don't want to be searched or need to be searched and that could cause a problem. the other side of the bill each person who gets searched or interact with police officer get a business card with the officer's identifying information and encouraged to file a complaint against the officer. this is too far left even for bill diblasio. heather: trying to put my head around it and the situation when you come across someone you think may be going to a

terrorist attack. on their person, in their vehicle, and put a warrant to search them. >> get their consent. heather: they say no. the other part, and cops it -- id. and their own lives. losing their jobs, losing their pension, that they thought, that -- instead of city council being obscured the police department is out there day in and day out, a bunch of people who are detractors, to constrain their ability to do the one thing they should be doing, fighting violent crime. heather: the is that something a lawyer would have suggested to

give the card to the perpetrator? >> this will only increase, the civilian complaint board which 87% of cases in 2016 were dismissed based on no merit of fact. and when officers want to do, less proactive, 268 subway stations in new york city, it is like when we foil a terrorist attack, we want to be there is a police officer on a train platform and hesitate for a moment because they are afraid of what might come. heather: is four nypd officers who jumped on the suspect and a second blast. thank you for joining us. appreciate it. north korea may be preparing to test another missile, new activity at lunch sites being reported including secret coded

messages broadcast by north korea signaling a weapons test is near. rex tillerson is ready to talk it out. >> we would be ready to have a nice meeting without great condition, not realistic to say we are only going to talk. too much invested in it. heather: last month north korea launched its most advanced missile yet that it claims could strike anywhere in the united states. the war of words heating up between the white house and democratic senator kristin gi b giliband when she demanded the prisoner resigned over sexual misconduct allegations, the president we did it is a lightweight senator kristin g i gilibrand, a flunky for chuck

schumer who begs for campaign contributions not so long ago and would do anything for them is in the ring fighting against trump, very disloyal to bill and crooked used. she tweet theed back saying in part she will not be silenced, calling donald trump's tweet sexist but sarah huckabee sanders shutting that down. >> there is no way this is sexist at all, simply talking about a system we have that is broken with special interests control the government. only if your mind is in the gutter would you have read it that way. so no. heather: a lot disagree with sarah. arkansas commission clearing the way for an installation with a new 10 commandments monument outside the state capital after a man live streamed himself plowing through 20 hours after was put up.
