is he going for seven. we have something else for veterans today to help combat veteran homelessness and the various crises oftentimes they go through when they get out of their service. we have a theme. it's make camo your cause campaign. we want -- we are going to donate with every purchase of our camo gear a donation will go to u.s. vets.org/fox forward. >> will: camo hats, fox and friends. i want this tie so you can't bus one i'm going to keep this one. >> ainsley: fox in camo u.s. vets on the other side. >> brian: i should probably change into that camo. >> ainsley: you should. >> will: this one right now? >> brian: i will do that in the break. it takes too long with all the ifb. veterans day. a time in which we cannot recruit for any branch except the marines seem to be hitting their threshold. we have to reconfigure and recalibrate the people that have served in the past and why they should serve.

>> ainsley: every time i go to sleep or wake up, i turn on fox news because i want to find out has nevada been called yet? >> brian: what about arizona? >> ainsley: republicans are closing in on the house majority claiming 211 of those # 18 seats that need to be flipped -- need to be acquired to flip that chamber. >> will: senate control is also still hanging in the balance, nevada, arizona, and of course the runoff election in georgia. >> brian: where do we stand right now. last night around 10:00 a huge dropoff. what just changed. kevin corke has been on this all night long. kevin, all these races matter so much and they are still a long way to go. >> a long way to go. i'm very hopeful that eventually perhaps as soon as monday we will have more clarity. maybe today although i frankly doubt it. like the rest of us, the white house and everybody still trying to figure out what's going on in these races that we have been talking about in particular a couple of senate races that we are keeping a very close eye on. and the dozens of house races

just so we can get a gauge of who will actually be running the new congress. at this hour, the house still looks favorable for the g.o.p. while the senate, as you pointed out, is still a toss-up. so, with that in mind, let's take a look at the numbers. 211 for republicans, 192 for democrats. everybody believes at this point it's going to be a g.o.p. run in the house. eventually. got all those races still out there. i just can't imagine what in the world is going on that we have some house races that have yet to be called. how about the senate? as you see republicans 49-48. if laxalt gets over the threshold it will be 50-48 and we will wait for the last two to figure out where that all goes. how about the great state of nevada speaking of the senate. laxalt right now still leading but look at the difference. it was at 22,000 about a couple days ago. now it's down to right around 9,000, because more tranches of votes keep coming in. and generally they have been

favorable for cortez masto but still laxalt still leading and they still very confident do gop folks in the silver state that he will, in fact, win that race. how about the governor's race there? lombardo still looking good. difference is smaller. 2 # thousand plus. it does look good for the g.o.p. there as well. how about the grand cannon state of arizona? well, all you can say is right now if you are a fan plaintiff kelly, you are feeling good. in the cat bird seat. 115,000 vote difference. but, blake masters still says a lot of votes out there. they are not giving up hope just yet. staying in the grand canyon state. how about the gubernatorial race there, yes, kari lake is close, still trailing though. in fact she is trailing more than she was at this point yesterday by nearly 27,000 votes. and despite the snails pace, kari says don't worry i'm convinced i'm going to win when all the votes are counted i will

reign victorious. >> 100 percent compel dense that i'm going to be the next governor of arizona. i think the the republican party should continue along with america first policies like we are. >> meantime in georgia it's run off time in a few weeks as mr. walker and mr. warnock go head to head again, round 2, to determine that state's senate seat. in the meantime, of the democrat isn't frankly talking about, you know, kitchen table issues like the high cost of food or gas. instead, raphael warnock is taking the low road, slamming mr. walker personally. >> we have seen that herschel walker has a disturbing history, a pattern of violence against women, against his own family. is that who we want? >> he is not telling you the truth and he is going to continue to be the hypocrite that wolf in sheep's clothing. got get out and vote and tell your friends get out and vote. this is the most important

election. >> most important election. meantime, on truth social, former president trump is also getting a little, well's let's just say a little frisky as people start talking about 2024 already. he is taking a shot at ron desantis, the governor of the great state of florida. this is what the president wrote: he calls him ron desanctimonious says he is playing games. the fake news asks him if he's gone to run if president trump runs and he says i'm only focused on the governor's race and i'm not looking into the future. well, in terms of loyalty and class, that's really not the right answer. if you know the president, you know how he feels about loyalty, and he feels like he has helped ron desantis in the past. and that the right thing to say, at least is i will stand down until and unless i hear what the president wants to do. he didn't say that. someone argued that's politically the smart thing to do. a little back and forthright there, guys.

a little infighting by the g.o.p. >> will: all right, kevin. thank you for that report this morning. that's a bomb. that statement by president trump last night was the beginning of a republican civil war. i want to get to that in just one moment. first, can we just address this quickly? it's been said it needs to be hammered. in kevin's report he talked about nevada and arizona. you know, we are talking about the senatorial races. here is why those governor races kari lake and nevada's governor's race as well is so important. there is no wave that in 2022 in america you should be waiting weeks, days into weeks for election results. strong, gubernatorial leadership in florida ensured that a state of 21 million people could count their vote in one night. it's inexcusable that a population of 7 million in arizona can't get it counted in a week. you need a strong governor to come in and reform that voting system not this last-minute mail-in balloting. that is so important to the future of the integrity of our democracy. >> ainsley: i believe they need to count the mail-in ballots before the election.

they don't want to do that because they are worried it will slip out into the press hough is actually winning and that could tilt, you know, the election results. but, it would be nice if we could have integrity, election integrity and they could count those ballots and keep that a secret. we could go to the polls on tuesday and tuesday night we have the results. >> brian: right now they are going to be taking, if you postdate your mail-in ballot by election day, you will have until the 13th -- until they can check the mail and say okay, we got that ballot in. we can now count it. signature march is a problem. signature match takes forever. so they're taking signature match. we got to go to do what georgia did. they have i.d. they have voter i.d. do mail in voter i.d. the last four digits last four digits of your social security number and license number and they crosscheck it. a way to scam it but very hard to. if you have to do a voter i.d. do a voter i.d. to your point, florida straightened it out through rick scott. still had a problem with rick scott. when desantis came in they fired

the last problem and last three elections wept well. in georgia said we are going to go ahead and do this thing and make it transparent. reign in some of the pandemic rules. drop boxes not as many. there is going to be voter i.d. now arizona remains a problem with a republican governor now for two terms. there is no excuse for that and a secretary of state and i brought this up to kari lake, are you comfortable with your opponent controlling the election rules in the state in which you are running for governor and she says i asked to be recused but it's going on deaf ears. governor ducey could have come out and said this is a problem you have got to recuse yourself. nevada taking their time. 300 drop boxes and still have ballot harvesting in that state. are you kidding? >> ainsley: they had ballots postmarked on tuesday. and in clark county, so those have not yet been counted. the registrar says we are moving those ballots as quickly as we can. >> brian: this is why kari lake

feels confident she was on with sean a long time. kind of running with breaking news. getting things as she was there. people showed day of voting with a ballot. the day of voting traditionally going to republicans. she is instance requested today or shortly she is going to overtake hobbs. the problem in nevada is a little bit different where clark county seems to have the most uncounted ballots. >> ainsley: that's las vegas which usually is blue. >> brian: right. >> will: meanwhile we mentioned the statement by president trump last night. it was a three-page statement solely and exclusively focused on florida governor ron desantis. you know, president trump's political instincts have been over the past five years in my estimation on point. and they have been on point when everyone else has doubted president trump. i think he is responsible for bringing a populisten, a necessary populist element to the republican party. focused on the middle class, focused on industrialization here at home, jobs at home. >> brian: and working class. >> will: and the working class.

and that repositioning's fruits for a governor like ron desantis and his success in florida. will last night's attack on ron desantis, i think for many out there, represents a really -- the future where -- whereas i described it, you are looking at a republican civil war. and that is not going to be healthy for anyone that believes in the policies that donald trump helped push back to the forefront. >> ainsley: we need to just get through these elections and get through georgia and find out who is going to win in georgia and start talking about the presidency. because. >> will: it has begun. last night donald trump began that conversation. >> ainsley: the republican party has got to unify, that's what kellyanne was saying last night. listen to this. >> i'm glad both men, donald trump and ron desantis are in the republican party and have records of accomplishment that people can point to and want to emulate in their own states. and people who want to run for office because they are inspired by candidates. by leaders like them who don't back down. who get things done, who work

with. i would love to see two of them up on the stage in georgia with i don't know, throw brian kemp and mike pence in there, too. i think we need more unity and less divisiveness in the republican party. guess what? we have the best policy and messages we don't have unity right now. the democrats have no good policies and no aspirational hopeful forward-looking messages but they showed a lot of unity last week ginning up their base. >> brian: in the big truth social his version of twitter that owns, he says that ron desantis should be saying-should not be saying things like i'm focusing on my next election for governor. ron desanctimonious is playing games. the fake news asked if he was going to run for president and he says i'm only focused on the governor's race. in terms of loyalty and class that's really not the right answer. he went on to to say is he an average governor he is not. he is one of the best. it's true what he said about his

push for his governor's run was really fueled by donald trump, no doubt about it. >> ainsley: that's what makes it tough. because loyalty is important. did he take ron desantis over the line in florida. >> brian: marco rubio was mentored by jeb bush when he still ran for president the bushes were upset by that to me it's not a civil war. when they're all on stage they want to kill each other -- they are going to try to kill each other in the primary. the timing is bad. the timing is not good for the party. if you are a team first player, you wait for herschel to get through with this. and if you are smart politically, you wait for christmas to be over because there is no rush. it's not like you are going to get more money now. and the thing is, ron desantis keeping his powder dry, he never said he is running. in fact, there was a story in axios said he is not going to run. there is no reason for it. and the thing is, too, that glenn youngkin might be running, he praised ron desantis they might be going at it again. i thought mike pompeo did the same thing in praising ron

desantis. they might be running against each other. there is just no reason to fight now. >> will: no. i agree. >> brian: coming up straight ahead, come in or get out. elon musk ultimatum to twitter employees return to work. army vernco host pete hegseth who looks exactly like that shares his message for veterans day. >> ainsley: that's not a dom doppelganger? plus, does brian have what it takes to keep up with rockie? >> brian: just one second. bill will why did you do that? >> brian: we saw it in a movie once. >> ainsley: we will ask the man himself sylvester stallone is going to join us live. >> brian: right. i hope he is up. ♪
