federation of greater pittsburgh and benefit the four police officers injured in the attack. thanks for joining us live. i'm dana perino. back in new york tomorrow. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 at the white house, president trump business to kick off the last-minute campaign blitz ahead of the make or break mid-term elections. minority leader nancy pelosi predicts democrats win the house. with less an week to go, there's word of states that have not signed up for free service to help protect their voting systems. and did the remains of a teenage girl, missing for many decades, just turn up near a vatican property? let's get to it. ♪ >> shepherd smith reporting. >> shepard: this halloween afternoon, the final sprint, mid terms, just six days away with control of the house, control of

the senate, and control of governor's manages all up for grabs. president trump very active on the ground, and on twitter, with messages about the economy, healthcare, immigration, and now an attack on the top republican in the house of representatives. more on that in a moment. the president kicking off a campaign blitz across america, from florida to montana. starting with the rally in fort myers, in southwest florida, tonight. he's heading to eight states in all, including several that he won in 2016, where democrats are fighting to hold on to crucial senate seats. democrats say it's a sign that the president has given up on holding the house. the house -- the minority leader, nancy pelosi, predicting democrats will win at the very least take it back. >> we will win. [applause] we will win. if everyone votes, we will have even a bigger victory. but we will -- democrats will

carry the house, if we have the bigger victory the senate, governorships, it's going to be a great night for america. >> shepard: has she forgotten 2016? president trump isn't just slamming the democrats he's going after the republican house speaker paul ryan and warning him, focus on keeping the minority. john rockets is live on the north lawn. >> shep, good afternoon. the president going all in over the next five days. one of the things he will be talking about at length, particularly tonight in fort myers, florida, many of the other campaign stops, immigration. and his idea that you can end brirth right citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants through an executive order or some type of regulatory action. we remind, again, birth right citizenship has been granted by virtue of the 14th amendment, and that's why many legal scholars and even some republicans like paul ryan, have said the president can't do this by executive order. he needs to do it through a constitutional amendment.

that's going to take a two-thirds majority in the house and senate, and then ratification by three-fourths of the states. here's what ryan said about it. >> you cannot end birth citizenship with an executive order. like obama tried changing immigration laws via executive. we believe in the constitution. the conservative, i'm a believer in following the plain text of the constitution and i think in this case the 14th amendment is pretty clear. that would involve a very, very lengthy constitutional process. >> president trump didn't like that one bit, particularly since paul ryan has said he's not running for re-election and stepping down as speaker of the house. the president tweeting this morning, quote, paul ryan should be focusing on holding the majority rather than giving his opinions on birth right citizenship, something he knows something about. our new republican majority will work on this, closing the immigration loopholes, and securing our border. the way that the president believes, shep, he can do it

through an executive order or regulatory action is the phrase in the 14th amendment, the opening line, which says, subject to the jurisdiction of. he believes as foreign dignit y dignitaries they're not subject to the jurisdiction of the united states and twlfer with the albanian ambassador had a baby at gw hospital, he would not be an american citizen. neither should illegal immigrants be subject to the jurisdiction of the united states. it's a legal argument that i'm sure is life for all kinds of argument. that's what the white house is looking at doing if they can do it through executive order or regulation. >> shepard: okay, what more do we know about his travel plans? >> well, as you mentioned at the top, five days left of campaigning at least, until people go to the polls tuesday. the president with 11 rallies in that time. let's put up the map you had a bit ago. the president in fort myers, florida, campaigning for rick scott and ron desantis. the democrats lead, bill nelson

by two, gillum by three, but gillum's lead is narrowing. columbia, missouri tomorrow. the republican josh hawley is up two over mccaskill. huntington, west virginia and indianapolis on the second. then on the third, in belgrade, montana and pensacola, florida. tester, by the way, is up about 4.2 over matt rosen dale in montana. but tester is believed to be in a little more trouble than the polls suggest. he will be in georgia and chattanooga, tennessee on sunday. then on monday, triple play, cleveland, fort wayne, indiana and cape girardeau. joe biden, the former vice president, saying he believes american voters will overwhelmingly choose democrats. listen here. >> today, more than ever, the american people are desperately, democrats and republicans and independents, looking for people with character. [applause]

no, they really are. they're looking for authenticity. [ applause ] they're looking for some one who never bee little the other guy. [applause] who treats everyone like my dad did, with dignity and respect. they're looking for people to tell the truth. >> now, the political forecasting website 538.com says the highest probability is for the democrats to pick up 30 seats, they need 23 for the howls of republicans. the republicans are banking that the quiet vote for donald trump in 2016 will be there to an even greater degree in 2018. shep, you mentioned at the top, after the nancy pelosi remarks, is she forgetting 2016? well, republicans are hoping that democrats are forgetting 2016 and that they'll pull this one out of their hat. e maintaining control of the house, real tough, i think. >> shepard: it will be tough.

man, present dpixs -- predictions, we have video, play them back, sometimes it's painful. thank you, john. i want to turn to jonathan swann, national political reporter for axius. you got good scoops in here. annal sills of the map is interesting. tell our viewers what you disfrern the travel plan? what you discern. >> trump is going, to the best way to describe it, trump country within trump states. he's not focused on the house in this last week. he's going to competitive senate states where he still remains popular. places like tennessee, missouri. the exception to that are ohio. and the reason is nothing do with the senate race, i'm told, it's because of the governor's race. that's going to be a crucial, for 2020 in the pivotal states. as a republican, you really want to control the governor's mansion, it's very important

from a political standpoint. >> shepard: so you don't break up the district. >> exactly. >> shepard: have it favorable to you if you can. >> managing for the votes and there's all sorts of advantages to controlling the political operation in the presidential year. with florida, trump has a strong personal affinity for the state, spends a lot of time. he's refed in the governor's race. but besides that it's senators and they're avoiding the suburbs where trump is toxic, particularly among highly educated people and women. >> shepard: is there a chance for the democrats in the senate, realistically speaking? >> a chance, but most forecasters have it, i think, around the 20% mark. it's, you know, it's sort of spin the wheel enough times and the votes -- the planets might line up. but the polling isn't their friend. the dynamics have moved toward republicans since the brett kavanaugh confirmation side.

>> shepard: why is that not the case in the house? >> well, because a 4r069 competitive house districts are not -- competitive house districts are not red districts, they ee swing districts. take pete roscom in illinois, skilled, experienced member of congress. but trump is toxic in his district. hillary beat trump significantly. pete roscom still won, nearly half are college educated, the kind of people who don't like this. and motivated to come out in big numbers. can you replicate that across the country. >> shepard: is there a big surprise coming, and if you can think of one is there a surprise in texas, is there a surprise in florida, what do you think? >> i don't know about texas. the polling seems pretty decent there. florida is the place to look, desantis appears to be closing in the polls, tight senate race, too. i think florida will be an interesting state. trump is doubling up there in

the last stretch. >> shepard: clare mccaskill? >> tough for her. it's heavy, heavy trump country. she's a skillful politician. if democrats turn out in huge numbers, you know, things could easily change for her. >> shepard: across pennsylvania, with the new districts? >> yeah, that's pretty brutal. it's pretty brutal. >> shepard: you're usually good with here's where i think there should be a surprise. nothing? [laughing] come on, jonathan. >> what do you want from me, shep. >> shepard: what good are you? >> i say watch florida, i think that republicans could take the senate and then the governor's manages in florida. that would be a surprise. democrats were feeling very, very good about florida with the surge there. >> shepard: and how has that happened, what change has happened that makes you say that? >> you know, i do think that the kavanaugh effect has been real. i think it has awoken republicans, we've seen the energy go way up. democrats were 11 out of 10. and the energy among republicans

has increased. seems to have stayed there. the real question is, when trump floats into these states, he normally energizes his people, but also energizes independent interests, wildly toward democrats. and he energizes democrats. constant balancing act. >> shepard: jonathan swann gives the governor's mansion and the senate to the republicans. >> i don't give anything, mate. you forced me! >> shepard: there is a video. [laughing] see you a week from today. >> oh, see you, mate. >> shepard: good stuff in there. there's one that you might like, one article they have today, from mike allen. headline is, the mid-term split decision. who knows if it's right. you don't hear us, see us putting polls up in this hour any more. we do remember 2016. breaking this past hour, a grandie, has now indicted the man accused of the deadliest attack on jews in the united states our nation's history. 11 people gunned down in a
