flags. good morning. >> ainsley: good morning, we are happy to have you here. and fox's supporting supporting the cause. we have several demonstrations of products. if you go to their website u.s. vets.org/fox forward and you see at the bottom of the screen. >> will: hats, mugs, thais. >> brian: i have never gotten more compliments for wearing this. you can have this and give money to a great cause. speak to that is right they combat homelessness and so many will come back home and they can't find jobs and are homeless. >> i will say this, past wars from world war ii and understand even world war i was captured on film but i would take this generation of war fighters and put them up with any. if you are thinking justice of the battlefield with modern warfare and the way they train other armies around the world

and what they have done in iraq and afghanistan and the people that screwed up there where the leaders. it wasn't the military. >> ainsley: you know, my daughter was asking me what was happening in ukraine and russia. she said, could that happen here, momma? are you kidding? we have the best military in the world. that would never happen here, which gave me great confidence. we live in the best country. thank you to all the veterans, active-duty as well. we can't thank you enough what you have sacrificed and we could tell her children that we can remain safe. >> will: the first gulf war as you mentioned the modern-day warrior's as well. >> ainsley: grandfathers, did they fight in world war ii? >> will: i don't know they served, one was a chaplain in the military and one was in the dash i don't know if you can because they are forced back then because it was only officially air force after world war ii. speak to my grandfather was both navy and my grandfather was in

the ship in the middle of the pacific and a kamikaze plane was coming toward his ship. they all panicked, of course and said their prayers and the kamikaze eyelid looked at everyone on the top deck and did a peace sign and went the other direction and flew his plane over the ocean. >> brian: meanwhile, i'm just getting word, sylvester's alone will be here 28 minutes. so a new hit series. >> ainsley: your hero is coming in. >> brian: we will find out. he will absolutely tease you. >> will: tease him with arnold schwarzenegger. >> ainsley: he can do a one hit a push appearance but when i know, that would be embarrassing at his age. meanwhile, republicans closing in on the house majority. claiming already 211 of 28 teen seats needed to flip the chamber. >> ainsley: senate control hanging in the balance arizona,

nevada with runoff election in georgia. >> will: kevin corke has all the details this morning, kevin. >> good morning to all of you. some states can figure it out. they count millions of votes in a single night all other smaller states to take days to sort it all out finding patches of votes here and tranches of votes there but yet slowly but surely we get a clear picture of the coming congress. let's take a look at the balance of power as it stands right now, 211 to 192 to get to the majority and the republicans need seven more to get to 218, chances are pretty good that will happen. how about the senate? well, a much tougher circumstance because while 49-48, the g.o.p. needs to get to 51 because remember if it is 50-50 the vice president kamala harris can break the tie for the democrats. we will have to see how it plays out. right now, they are feeling pretty good about nevada. there senate race, why?

paul laxalt is upfront, 9,000 and it was 22,000 earlier but they feel good because the number of votes still out there from g.o.p. strong holds. how about the governor torres? similar story nevada is leaning right up your good see if it holds up here and in the meantime, in the state of arizona, the senate race, we have been watching this one right now and kelly feeling strong about his chances although blake masters, listen, let a vote still out there. they like the fact that he has a chance. don't give up hope, they say. how about the governor's race in that state? your leg still trailing but again similar story. loving the idea of where the boats that are outstanding coming from. so, she is convinced when all the votes are counted, she will emerge victorious. >> i am 100% going to win. i have 100% confidence i will be the next governor of arizona. and i think the republican party should continue along with

america first policies like we are. >> and georgia committed turnoff time in a few weeks as herschel walker and raphael warnock raphael warnock go head-to-head for round 2 to determine that senate seat. >> 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 will continue to be the hypocrite a wolf in sheep clothing. you have to get out and vote and tell your friends get out and vote. this is the most important election. >> important, indeed. don't forget to check social media on occasion. you will get a gym like this one on true social. i said jim because sometimes they break news and sometimes there's a tweet out there that sort of makes you raise your eyebrows like the former president called a florida governor ron sanctimonious and

said basically if they are asking you about whether or not you are going to run if the former president runs, i'm onlyg into the future come he said, look, in terms of loyalty and class, it is not really the right answer. obviously, the president feeling like he was very helpful for ron desantis and he feels like he should have said something else. a little infighting by the g.o.p. later today, we expect total updates in nevada and arizona and we can know more about the house races, which inexplicably so many have yet to be cold. it will be here to check them all out but for now back to you. >> will: thanks, kevin. >> brian: meanwhile, errico polk county you don't do mike thought to be republican leans towards republicans but they say, we will get everything counted by friday. now they say we have so many drop-offs on election day that it looks like later than that. but that is why the republicans feel competence and masters has

hope because most people believe conventional wisdom confirms on election day and if they dropped it on election day. >> ainsley: 290,000 ballots but they say as of last night, they had 619,000 that still needed to be counted in maricopa county. this is in arizona. >> will: shameful that nevada and arizona can't happen election day but instead election week and potentially election a month. those states need to get their act together at the same way florida did so we can all have belief in our democracy. under president trump, that was an excerpt what amounted to a three-page attack on ron desantis. president trump called him an average republican governor. and clearly ron desantis is the biggest threat 2024 republican primary. you know, i sit here today and think, i'm so grateful for the ways president trump led the republican party over the last four or five or six years.

i think it needed to reposition them focuses not just on the middle class but the working class. i think he needed to properly account for populism, the voice of the people. i appreciate the reposition of the republican party and i also appreciate the way president trump fought back against the media and the democrats. but i don't think this is a fight the republicans need or are looking forward to at this time. to see the attack where the fight now be taken to -- really, honestly the biggest fruit of president trump's accomplishments, which is every positioning is manifested in the governor of florida ron desantis. >> ainsley: a lot will have a massive red wave across the country, there was not but down in florida so in many areas of new york like rhode island and the hudson valley area. we had several of the winners on our show yesterday, including mike lawler, who actually took the seat from sean patrick maloney, who is a democratic

congressional campaign chairman. he has been on the show's saying, "oh, my gosh, what happened in new york? "he's blaming leadership, the current leaders for being soft on crime basically. he said, "the competitive gubernatorial race gave the republicans a reason to turn out. that might not normally be the case when the outcome is a foregone conclusion. i can also tell you the governor really struggled in the suburbs, and it clearly had an effect on her races as well. i want to be clear, not blaming the governor. it is just a fact she was able to make up the difference in the city, but that doesn't help in the suburban districts." that is what we saw in your area, brian long island, big red wave out there. you said years ago you only had one republican -- >> brian: and that is flipped, here is what governor hochul did nothing on crime coming ignored and never left the mansion but just raise money and the people are like lee zeldin and he proved to be ready for the job.

lee zeldin and i think it is hard to argue with this, single-handedly deliver the house because without new york flipping those five seats, that means flip and you lose. you flip them and you gain them, he deliver the house and they got 47% purity got an extra 800,000 votes than the previous republican nominee in 2018. with a 47%, a lot of people to the polls in new york, it doesn't matter. i'm going to the polls, lee zeldin has a shot. and he delivered it. so lee zeldin, i think everyone agrees. you might have lost this but won the respect and the position of the republican party temporarily to decide what he wants to do next. >> will: sean patrick maloney said this on aoc, she had nothing to do with what turned out to be historic defense for majority. didn't pay a dollar of dues or didn't do anything for frontline candidates except give them money when they didn't want it from her. there are other vern don't make

choices to be heard and suburban voters who rejected the ideas and mostly defining the police on down. >> ainsley: and aoc said this on twitter, "let's make something crystal-clear, sean patrick maloney mike malone accorded me for swing vote in over a quarter million for dems the cycle dccc facilitated some and he denies it. if he is unaware of my visit to california and the efforts we put an end, that is on him." this is just infighting within the democratic party in new york. >> brian: california also can't count votes, by the way. the mayor in a city, how do you not be able to count votes in one city? unbelievable the mayor of los angeles i'm talking about. >> will: okay lifestyle company origin usa committed to american manufacturing despite high costs brought on by inflation. >> ainsley: partners pete roberts and navy seals are

boosting veterans inside the company. >> brian: and that is not what it's all about, because business network from origin usa in farmington maine. >> good morning, everybody. what a incredible way to spend veterans day and i will bring in the cofounder origin and we spoke to around this time last year and aunt that time coming you guys expanded to two states there. what is driving this insane growth in your business? >> [broken up audio] speed when we are taking technical difficulties on the report. >> ainsley: let's try to fix that but in the meantime let's handed over to carley. speak >> carley: a fox weather alert tro tropical storm nicole

whatever you got. >> you mean, from the government? >> i just knock your guard out cold. do you think i am a cpa? >> so, you are not with the government? let's take a walk. [laughter] >> will: so you are -- is it a new york city mobster located to tulsa? >> it was not in the original script but eventually we put in aspect where he goes to prison because he keeps his mouth shut for a crime we will find out he didn't even do. he has expecting some reward for being so loyal. and his reward is exile to tulsa, which is like hey, guys we will send you to this island with beautiful sunsets and there was nothing there. i get there and this is where the audience, wow, there is nothing worse than being thrown out alone to be completely abandoned at 76 years old. do i go here and die or do i fight back? he starts to build a family, but

all misfits, cowboys, indians, nerds, but that becomes his new family. that is so interesting. >> ainsley: it is the same writer cut same writer as "yellowstone." >> came up with the concept of eerie winter, a show runner. i didn't realize, it is quite different than movies, it really is. it's been when you've never done tv before? >> no, no, no, i did them up its first. >> ainsley: did you like it? did you like it? >> it is much harder, it is a real grind. you enjoy doing it but for example, the amount of time it took to did this series come i could have done five rocky sequels back-to-back. in other words -- >> brian: really. >> sure, you are doing ten shows, let see an hour each, and equivalent to 45 movies. no break and you are in tulsa in

the heat and you are alone, kids, it's too hard. the dog said, we are not coming either. >> will: multiple seasons we are talking here. >> my god. >> brian: are you going to do a second one? >> i don't want to do a second one. but you never know, the sequel, of course, yeah, i would love to. >> ainsley: brian loves you and all of these guys, we all do. they grew up like you are their hero. brian said you have to read this one article written about him so i did. it says you are one of the few actors to star in movies that top the weekend box office across six conservative weekends. this will be the seventh. how do you think you will do? >> i think it will be really, really good. >> ainsley: based on your history. >> it is all coming together. the thing is, it is the only art form where you have to depend on 400 people to make it all works. it isn't like you have a piece of campus and make your own

vision here at a lot of elements. >> brian: is it hard not being in charge and when you are, the whole production. >> i'm always in charge. [laughter] >> brian: you are the lead so you don't have to be the show runner he wo. >> you try your personality and like for example when she is who the dialogue once, twice, three times, it becomes monotonous. now it is time to ad lib. and throw a word in their act completely converted to. >> brian: we have to stick straight to the script. >> will: we don't ad lib. at all. imagine, people asked you what is your favorite movie that you have produced and what you have made? that is like asking you what is your favorite child so i will ask you differently. wish movie do you wish people had paid more attention to that you loved that didn't quite make it but you thought it would go? it was really good.

>> actually i liked "oscar" it was a type of cinema that they don't do and it's not meant to give you -- it is incredibly fast the amount of dialogue thrown. so what is a different art form here that would have been nice, but sometimes politics gets involved. for example, the last "rambo," why is he being so hard on the cartel? excuse me? >> will: i know. >> what? why are you being so mean to them? >> brian: the rockies, also so the russians and the soviets, right? and rambles in afghanistan. talk about that. >> what happened was that was really one of the best action films, but we got caught up in the fact as we were about to come out because i said, let's show russia vietnam. we have seen america's vietnam, afghanistan. they left and got beaten. so we decided to show that appeared literally, two weeks

before we are ready to come out, gorbachev comes over and kisses nancy reagan on the cheek and everything is wonderful, everyone loves -- and i'm the troublemaker. >> brian: oh, no. >> yell kimono, the press conference i got booed. >> brian: really. >> oh, yeah, why are you stirring up? >> will: want to give rick and his credit, but if you can change i can change, we can change. >> ainsley: five operations, three neck fusions, shoulders, knees, ankles, how do you keep going? are you in pain? >> i wake up like the ten man in the morning. >> brian: right, and your wife is laughing over there. >> i know, she's like so athletic. you know what it is, i just feel really competitive. i wish i could go -- people say we have nothing left to prove, but we do. >> will: you have proven once again "tulsa king" premiere sunday on paramount+ pure to go

get your prescription and check out another hit by sylvester stallone. we are hoping "over the top 2" comes out. >> my elbow hurts essentially. >> brian: what about the extra that got cut out of "the godfather? "the six rounds. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> ainsley: god bless you, thank you. >> any time from any time. >> ainsley: have a great >> bill: good morning, everybody. we don't know, a question mark. it is day four as we say good morning i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: bill hemmer the legend, the american legend at the billboard. you are. you did a great job. >> bill: i appreciate that, thank you >> dana: really great, 100%. you want more praise? you get all the praise. we're still awaiting the results
