♪♪ good morning. 11:00 a.m. eastern, 8:00 a.m. pacific. i'm jose diaz-balart. we're at the end of an unprecedented and still uncertain week in american political history. three days after the midterm elections, we still don't know who will be in control of congress for the next two years, control of the senate hinges on what happens in arizona, nevada and possibly georgia. right now election workers are still counting tens of thousands of ballots in arizona and nevada. officials in those states are urging people and candidates to be patient as the counting continues. >> we're working as hard as we possibly can in order to get the ballots counted. but whether we like it or not, there no way that we can move any faster than we're currently moving. >> they're already working 14 to 18 hours a day.

they're making a great commitment. we can't go any further than that. we are doing what we can and still maintaining accuracy. >> looking at the house, votes are still being counted in dozens of races. mostly in the western part of the country. and we may not know who controls this chamber for several more days. we did get some count updates overnight. let's get to the very latest on what's happening with steve kornacki over at the big board. steve, what is going on? >> suspense, i think the fact that there is suspense the friday after the election going into the weekend after the election is itself obviously a big surprise, just given the expectations for how the house would land in this expectation. but i can show you our protection model here, 218 seats needed for a majority in the house and right now our model has the republicans landing at 220, just barely above that 218 mark and the key here is that is

plus or minus seven seats. meaning that at this hour, the house is still in play. there is still a scenario where the democrats could actually get to that 218 mark and keep control of the house. so where are the battlegrounds? where is this going to be decided? let's call the house map up here. what you see, here's the big picture of the nation. anything you see in gray is uncalled. we can pull out a list right here and i think you can get a sense of it. everything you see here is an uncalled race and it -- went a little too far there. it extends on this page. we did just get late last night one call in one of those uncalled races. it went for the democrats. especially if you look at this list, democrats have to win the lion's share of these if they're going to get to that 218-seat mark. and i think the key here is, look how many of them are in california. these are all uncalled races in

california. the counting there can go on not just for days, it can go on for weeks. i think a lot of this is going to come down to california. also of note, you have this classic race here, peltola who won a special election this summer, there's going to be an instant runoff. whether they determine who wins, they reallocate the third place finisher voters, they mark off their second choice on the ballot. that process will play out more than ten days from now. we saw the same three candidates run over the summer. peltola first, palen finished first, excuse me. and peltola ended up winning. it's a chance for democrats to hold this one. there could be a rank choice run off in the second district of maine. the democrat is very close to 50%. democrats are feeling good about

that one. maryland's sixth district. the republican leading here against the incumbent democrat. but there's a lot of mail ballots to come in. there's an opportunity for democrats to win there. democrats need to win -- they have to win all of these -- they need to win the lion's share of these uncalled races if they're going to get to 218. if they fall just short, it's the irony of all ironies. the place where democrats took the biggest hit in the house was new york state. they lost four democratic seats in new york state, including the seat of the chairman of the dccc, the committee that organizes, funds and strategizes the strategy. it's the chairman who lost his own district and his state ends up costing democrats four seats. if the democrats didn't have that kind of disaster in new york state, they might be favored to actually hold the

house. >> steve, just incredible. so many things to look at. one of the ones -- you said this, it's like, california, may not be days, it may be weeks. why and then -- we don't know who won the mayoral race in los angeles. >> the vote counting -- the folks in california have started to refer to it as election season. we can call up a couple of those districts to give you a sense of it here. the central valley of california, this is david valadao, he lost his seat in 2018, got it back in 2020. we got 32% of the vote. we can't even characterize our expectation for this because it's going to -- there's so much outstanding and there can be such big swings in the vote that comes in because it's late arriving mail ballots, mail ballots that were dropped off on election day, it's piles of ballots that they process very

slowly until you get these updates maybe once a day, once every few days and the numbers slowly tick up. but some of these districts won't be called maybe until december. so i mean keep that in mind. democrats -- this is a district democrats -- if they're going to get the house, this is the kind of district they got to flip. they got to flip something like this. they got to hold on -- we've got more vote in here. this is where you're getting down into southern orange county, the democratic incumbent, they got a hold on here. but you only got two-thirds of the vote and there's a lot of come. they got to have katie porter hang on in her district. this is coastal orange county. you see how close it is. you see how much vote is left to come. not even half is in. mike garcia with a sizable lead. but, again, it's not something you can call right now because you've got so many votes left to come. and you don't have a sense of are they going to suddenly be a republican or

democratic-friendly batch of votes. you got to wait until you get these update and is the updates come in very slowly in california postelection. >> i just can't believe the city of los angeles is still -- i think 55% of the vote counted in a city race. >> and we saw that in the mayoral primary there earlier this year that set up this matchup. it took a long time to get the results from that one. it's taking a long time in the general election now. again, essentially what the officials will tell you is, they get flooded with the mail ballots, they get flooded with people bringing in the mail-in ballots on election day and the administrative processing just really takes a lot of time and this is what you end up with. >> steve kornacki, thank you so much. so informative always. >> thanks. and we have our eyes on arlington national cemetery in virginia. we're observing veterans day, honoring the men and women who have served the u.s. armed

forces. earlier, the first lady hosted families at the white house. today we salute, we thank all of our veterans for their service and we keep their families in our thoughts. let's continue having the conversation on issues of the election. nbc news senior capitol hill correspondent garrett haake is with us, jonathan allen, former white house press secretary robert gibbs and christina greer, associate professor of political science at fordham university. what do you make of what's going on in arizona right now? >> we have to be -- if you look at steve's report, i think we have to be slightly patient for democracy to work. but i think that by sometime this weekend, probably by saturday night, i think it will be largely apparent that democrats are going to win both of those seats and retain control of the u.s. senate.

the mail ballot that is have been coming in in nevada have been breaking heavily for the democrat and i think in the arizona race, mark kelly seems to be ahead by a sizable amount. so i think it's going to -- takes a little bit more patience. i think that's a good thing. but i think by probably tomorrow night, it will be apparent the democrats control the senate. >> and, garrett, dozens of house races are still on call. is there a path for democrats there to keep control of the house? >> there's a path has steve just laid out. if you had told democrats a week ago that they would be in the fight in places like maine's second district and some of the districts in california that have become battlegrounds in recent years, they would have taken that bet. but they have to pull an inside straight to make it happen here and pick up the balance of the seats that are remaining. as you look at the projections, that is a majority if republicans get it there at 220

or anything less, or democratic majority is within the realm of possibility, that is barely a functional majority in the u.s. house. we should be looking ahead to some of these big fights in december, but also into january. when you have a couple votes to spare in our politics right now, it's going to be very, very difficult for whoever controls the house to get any work done, including even electing their own leaders with margins that are that slim. we're about to see something in the house that we've not seen in a very long time, just in terms of the fragility of control of the lower chamber. >> garrett, the democrats and certainly nancy pelosi has been quite effective with a very small majority of the house. >> that's right. pelosi, you know, is sort of the master of this kind of thing, the horse trading necessary to keep a caucus in line. kevin mccarthy, by the way, is also very, very good at the kind of intrapersonal politics it takes to give members what they want. he's going to get something like

the equivalent of a final exam over the next two weeks which is to see if he can lock up a leadership post, potentially the speakership should the republicans win. republicans who don't like kevin mccarthy don't have an alternative candidate necessarily right now, but they're going to want things from him. what can he promise to the far right factions, the more moderate factions in the house to earn their support without giving all of own power as speaker away. that's going to be a fascinating test of his ability to be successful as a speaker, to see if he can pull the votes together to get the gavel should he have the opportunity. >> this has been such an unprecedented election, what do you think the messages from voters on the 8th? >> i think voters by and large said they wanted conversations about policy. republicans said from day one, if they gain control of the house, especially, they're going to start impeachment proceedings about what? it doesn't matter.

they just said they would impeach biden, pelosi, members of the cabinet. and i think a lot of voters are really concerned about, a, a woman's right to choose, climate change, student debt, gun control. you name it. democrats are realistic that they won't have majorities even if they are to maintain both houses but they want some sort of productivity and not just a deadlock congress that does nothing but bring up charges against the president. i think that's what we're going to see. as garrett said, we're gearing up for intraparty fights as well. thinking about what the future of the party looks like as far as policy priorities. >> donald trump is scheduled to make his big announcement on tuesday night which is expected to be another presidential run. but not all republicans are on board with a trump bid. >> you want to see the party move forward from trump? >> yeah, i think moving in a different direction as we move forward is a good thing, not a

bad thing. >> i think there's room for somebody to come forward with an optimistic vision instead of this grievance thing that we've been really good at for the last number of years. >> he doesn't want to lose. i don't think he goes through with it at the end of the day. >> it's, i guess, unexpected until it happens, but it seems as though it's more likely that the former president will announce another run. >> absolutely. he's been wanting to for months and months and he doesn't seem like he's going to be deterred by the results of the latest election. he's got some advisers who want him to push off. there have been advisers trying to get him to push off far long time. but republican voters are going to be faced if he does run with a choice like the one they had in 2015 which is, you know, do they -- do they unify behind one alternative to donald trump or do they fracture and watch

donald trump take a nomination with about 35% of the vote and struggle to at least win a majority of the popular vote in the general election. what we've seen from trump twice is he's lost the popular vote, when he did win the presidency, it was very narrow on the margins and we have this superdivided country. however the senate control is decided, we will remain essentially evenly divided in terms of political power which is something we're going to have to reckon with for the next two years and maybe beyond that. >> robert, i mean, you know this better than anybody else, barack obama got 71% of the latino vote in 2012, the highest number for anybody. george w. bush got the highest amount for a republican in 2004. is there someone who can reach those high water marks, do you think? >> i think it will be tough but this requires a lot of energy

and real effort on the democratic party's part to figure out how to appeal to latinos in a broader sense. jose, you know this well. they're far from monolithic. i have friends who think, oh, i don't understand why latinos aren't for us because we support immigration reform. and i think it's just a -- kind of a terrible way to think of one group of voters. it's a vast group of voters with a lot of important economic concerns and i think democrats are going to have to turn to speaking with these voters, not just a few weeks before the election, but every single day about a vision of economic opportunity and prosperity that they can get behind. >> yeah, it is striking that president obama got it, understood there's no latino vote, there are latino voters and to a certain degree, george w. bush certainly understood it.

>> absolutely. >> we've talked a lot about latino voters. what was the african american turnout like? >> well, the african american turnout, they overperformed. i might argue that african americans also are not a monolithic group. far too many democratic candidates kind of come around the last few weeks of the election like, yes, you're our loyal faithfuls. but they have to do much better. all voters go to the polls thinking about pocketbook issues. people from the caribbean and the continent of africa, we do know it has to be a more sustained economic vision from the party to actually make sure that black voters continue to overperform. i mean, the republicans have chosen a white nationalist route that doesn't really appeal to a lot of african americans, but the other option is abstinence. and they feel they're the most

loyal democratic voters, african american women voting at 95%, african american men voting at 85%. and then latinos and asians. we know there has to be a better economic division that doesn't come around a few weeks before the election. yet and still we see this every two and four years. that's what happens. >> there has to be more use of intellectual energy on these groups. i thank you so much. really appreciate your time. as a race between warnock and walker heads to a december runoff, could control of the senate come down to black voters in georgia? first, twitter in turmoil. layoffs and resignations. that's next.

twitter is going through some very difficult moments this morning. several high-ranking twitter executives have now left the company as elon musk is now describing twitter's economic outlook as dire. one of the biggest names to leave the company in charge of trust and safety who until recently has defended musk's efforts to fight misinformation and hate speech. this comes as the company could face millions in fines. the ftc has issued a warning amid the departures from security and privacy employees. i want to bring in senior reporter ben collins. ben, thank you so much for being with us. another huge concern is this whole blue checkmark subscription service. there are a lot of them. but there's some concerning ones, the eli lilly fake one that had an account and said,

insulin was free. they had to come back and say, no, no, no, that's fake. kind of take us through this whole thing. >> they had a more real-looking name than their actual twitter account. let's walk through this. you can tell me if you think elon musk has a plan here, right? last week he said we're going to give verification checkmarks to everyone for $8. that's what it's going to be. then they planned to release this, they can't ship it by midterm election day, which would have been a nightmare by the way. can you imagine people pretending to be fake election officials on election day. there was push back about what that might do. they launch it on wednesday. >> what does launching it mean? what do they do? >> you go into the app store, give them $8, you can be anybody you want to be. >> no checking. >> no checking. some people had this official badge under their name, joe biden, people like that. elon musk said, i don't like it, it's too busy looking. gets rid of that.

and then people start impersonating eli lilly and nintendo. it's a picture of mario giving the finger to people. nintendo doesn't like this very much. still, he sticks by it. we're going to deal with it on a case-by-case basis. fake lebron james demands a trade. it's up for hours and hours and hours, kyrie irving, the espn insider guy, he fake gets released. all of these things in the fake world take off. then today they start bringing back official tags begin. but then that goes away. and now today they are subtly taking this down from the site the ability -- the ability to get the verified check for $8. so, once again, it does it look like there's a plan here?

it really does not to me. that's the issue here. everyone has left. some of the biggest people inside of this company in terms of compliance with the ftc, user safety, all of those people are gone. >> maybe elon musk had that as a plan. >> that's totally possible. if he did, there's nobody to check what's legal and illegal. they're in a -- they are under a lot of scrutiny already before the elon musk purchase. they can't really afford this at this moment. now they're sending things around the company, please don't break the law, but here we are. this is where we are. and yesterday elon musk told staff, you know, bankruptcy might be an option. >> as a matter of fact, he sent his first email to the whole company yesterday and -- let's look at what he said to them. without revenue there's a good chance twitter will not survive the upcoming economic downturn. so that's kind of a big statement. >> yeah, and it might not. i just want to be clear about this.

there are people making competitors and it's -- it's not -- of all the websites to make competitors to, this is not the hardest. and they also laid off half the staff who knows how to make a website like this. it's -- if they don't turn it around quickly and stop with the nonsense that they're doing, with this verified stuff and whatever -- they're making a political statement, it may not survive this thing. >> sorry just to wrap it up because you've been incredibly clear on what is muddled in so many ways. as of right now, this friday, can you get an $8 check if you go to the app or can you not? >> about an hour you could. right now, you can't. i don't know what it's going to be like in ten minutes. >> ben collins, thank you so much. it's good to see you, buddy. appreciate it. up next we're live in ukraine where nbc news has captured this video after an apartment complex was hit in an overnight strike. plus, a humiliating retreat for russian forces from a key city.

development in the war in ukraine. ukrainian forces entered the key city of kherson hours after russian forces said they had completed their retreat from the city. any video shows people celebrating in the streets, waving the ukrainian flag in kherson. joining us now from kyiv, foreign correspondent molly hunter. good morning. what is the latest out of kherson this morning? >> reporter: jose, it's been a wild day. i think that we will get developments late into the night. as you said this morning, the russian military and they announced yesterday this retreat, they announced this morning that the retreat was complete. just to be clear with some 30, 40,000 troops inside the strategic city, it's hard to announce a retreat and then retreat under fire. but the russian military said they were able to move all of its forces out of kherson city onto the east bank of the dnipro river. it separates the east and the

west part of the region. but tonight we're seeing videos on social media shared by the government, shared on telegram, across social media, of residents, ukrainian residents going into that city center waving ukrainian flags, greeting ukrainian troops who are coming in. there is a statement from the military intelligence agency tonight that says kherson is returning under the control of ukraine. units of the armed forces of ukraine are entering the city. this city has been under occupation since the first days of the war. the ukrainian troops have been steadily advancing towards that city. we hear not only are they inside, but they're moving towards that west bank, towards that front line to push russian troops even further. as ukrainian troops are coming into these liberated individuals, zelenskyy says at least 41 settlements around the city have been liberated. they are cheering. they are greeting ukrainian troops with kisses, with the

national anthem. these are people who are grateful tonight to be in a free ukraine. >> thank you so much. good to see you. when we come back, the first runoff ad in georgia is already here signaling the fight for the senate seat is already getting messy and what could be the deciding factor for who wins in december. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports." re watchin diaz-balart reports. passing through their uk port every year. don't just connect your business.

weeks long like the last georgia runoff. how is that playing into how these campaigns are preparing for the 6th of december? >> first of all, it's great for georgia voters. we get to enjoy our christmas and new year's eve and hanukkahs without the campaign ads. but, of course, our thanksgivings will be ruined. there's been no days of rest here. you already saw campaigns hitting the campaign trail again just yesterday on thursday. usually you would see a quieter period right now where the candidates are mostly focused on fund-raising. they're still focused on fund-raising but we've seen the first ads, campaign trail appearances and it's only going to ramp up from here. >> what are these new ads like? are they different than what we saw before the 8th. >> we saw one that's a little bit different. it trots out the same argument that we've seen throughout this campaign that senator warnock is equal to joe biden in the republican view. they're trying to link him to joe biden because joe biden's approval ratings are lower than

40% in georgia. but they're trying a new argument. they're saying that raphael warnock equals hollywood. he's a celebrity candidate align with l.a. and new york than he is with georgia. we haven't heard that from senator warnock from the republicans. but this is something that we heard about when it came to stacey abrams and stacey abrams was defeated at the polls. they're trying this new argument out. >> the headline reads black georgia voters say this runoff leaves them with a burden to quote save the senate again. it notes the sense of responsibility that black voters feel. what does it say about the role this community plays in our electorate? >> a couple things, one, i got to go back to the -- trying to paint raphael warnock as a celebrity. you know, you all remember not

so long ago, 2008, not that long ago, you know, they tried to paint barack obama as a celebrity as well. it is a trope that we often see them use against voter -- candidates of color and it's interesting that they're rolling that out there against someone who is quite frankly predominant -- he stands at the pulpit of martin luther king's church. and they're making him out to be a celebrity. look, in the end, this is about generating -- it is base support, right? when you look at the numbers and it was a great article on nbc.com and what i -- i remember the quote being befuddled, african americans are befuddled when they look at the election results and warnock versus walker. you got 70% of white voters who

are going to vote for herschel walker. that's pretty much locked in. it is tough to move that number. so for a coalition -- greg knows this well. for a democratic coalition to win there in georgia, you need -- you need about a third of white votes, 30% to 31, 32, 33% of white votes, and you need strong turnout among the minority community. you need that electorate to be at least approaching 40% nonwhite and you got to dominate that nonwhite -- that nonwhite vote in order to get to a bare majority right now in georgia. you're going to see both groups, both democrats and republicans, really try to mobilize and energize their base of voters. >> greg, you wrote a piece noting how warnock outperformed other democrats statewide. what do you chalk that up to? >> yeah, well, there's a split

ticket trend here that's been throughout in the polling. the polling was largely correct about not just this race but the other races, the other top races in georgia. but there's still a significant number of republican voters who are willing to back brian governor kemp but back senator warnock. and the big question is can the senator get those voters to come back out for him in a december 6th runoff after, you know -- right before the holiday season, after thanksgiving when a lot of voters are simply exhausted here in georgia. some aren't willing to go back out and vote. some are waiting for control of senate to be decided. if georgia decides control of the senate, i think it's a completely different race here. >> thank you very much for being with us this morning. coming up, while president biden is overseas putting a focus on climate change, a new documentary explores the path forward that could help protect us all from the mounting climate

>> thinking about how they open the door of their home and essentially saw hell in front of them. joining us now is tom crowther who premieres in the documentary. thanks for being with us. in the documentary, you say portugal is one of the most striking examples of how ecosystem management gone wrong can be so devastating. >> that's the thing. we've seen incredible commitment by people regenerating ecosystems around the world. what happens when you get that wrong can be really devastating and that can mean planting vast cultures of a species and portugal was a striking example.

these vast plantations are endangering these communities every year. what we need to do is build towards a more sustainable use of those ecosystems, integrating the healthy mixtures that improve livelihoods. if we get that wrong, it can be devastating. >> it's the actual trees that were planted that caused this fire to get even more voracious. what are the kind of things that should be happening to mitigate the -- you know, the fire being so quickly >> well, in this case in particular, it's simply about getting a healthy mixture of native species. if this was cork and oak and the pines that live there, the fires are mitigated. there's a dense amount of organic material in the soil. the soil becomes very damp and

moist. the fire just stops. it's only when you get these monocultures of plantations that you get incredible fires that can be unbelievably brutal. that is, essentially, one of the key points to restoration in any location on the planet. when you get the right ecological and social mix so nature works for the economic well-being and survival of local communities, that is whether nature restoration really works. >> this is fascinating, professor. i'm thinking of cork, which is probably 99.9% of the work in every bottle and every way it's used around the world comes from portugal. yet, it's not being cultivated that much because it takes so long. right? for the cork to be able to be utilized from the trees. but this is relevant throughout the world. i'm thinking of hurricane mitigation in florida where you have mangroves, no mangroves.

there are so many aspects to ecological balance. how do we -- i know you study this. how do we as society determine what best ecological balance we should be instituting in our coasts, in our forests, in our agriculture? >> i mean, this is the key to the environmental challenge right now. essentially, the big challenge we need to avoid is people thinking of nature as the easy way out. in many cases, we see people planting trees as an excuse to avoid cutting emissions or protecting nature and conserving what we have. those impacts can be damaging more than the effects that they are trying to avoid. what ultimately, in every location across the planet, the single key to success is when healthy native biodiversity becomes the economic option for local people. that can be when mixtures of

species increase yields. when the conservation of species brings economic well-being through tourism. there's a thousand solutions. we developed the online platform highlighted in the film. it's called restore. restore.eco. you can see initiatives where people find that balance. when they get that balance right, that's when nature propagates across the planet. >> this is fascinating. it's so important. thank you very much for being with us. really appreciate your time. >> thanks so much. it's called from devil's breath. it's sunday 10:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc. it will stream on peacock. it's worth seeing. we are continuing to honor all those who served this country. that includes veterans who died and whose remains have gone unclaimed for years, even decades. we have more on this. good to see you. what did you learn? >> it's amazing. we learned that there are

thousands of veterans all over the country -- this is a problem everywhere in the country right now where these vets who essentially died and are forgotten about in so many cases. enter these volunteers, these strangers who come in. they start looking for these unclaimed remains. they simply want to make sure that all veterans are given the dignified burial they earned. ♪♪ they come from miles away to say good-bye and thank you. >> they deserve all the dignity and respect that this nation can muster. >> reporter: 100 people, each playing a part in the military funeral in south florida national cemetery. ♪♪ the service, the picture of precision and respect. >> 1917 to 1980, world war ii. >> reporter: 18 veterans of world war ii, the korean war and vietnam were honored on this

day. not a single mourner there knew any of them. the crowd all strangers, volunteers who had come to pay respects to some of the nation's thousands of unclaimed veterans. >> our legacy, we don't want to be forgotten, whether it's our family. these men and women served our country. i'm sorry. >> the worst thing that can happen to a soldier is to be forgotten. >> reporter: the veterans would have been forgotten if it weren't for the missing in america project. since 2006, the national volunteer group has located and laid to rest nearly 6,000 veterans. mostly cremated remains left in funeral homes and tucked away for years, even decades. how does that happen? how do decades go by? >> we have in other states found civil war soldiers, vietnam and now the gulf war. it's unbelievable. >> reporter: the group says many of the remains are vets who experienced homelessness, outlived loved ones or had families who couldn't afford the burial.

>> we had one today that the daughter didn't want anything to do with her father. families become distant from each other. >> reporter: in a report to congress, the veterans administration estimated between 11 and 53,000 veterans may still be unclaimed. the agency's inspector general calling for the v.a. to improve the final disposition of unclaimed remains. in an interview last week, they admitted there's work to be done. >> i can guarantee you we will get our hands around this consistent with what the country expects and what our vets would expect. >> reporter: for now, it's often falling to volunteers to give unclaimed veterans a proper burial. ♪♪ etched on each headstone is the soldier's name and four words. you are not forgotten.

>> extraordinary. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> good to see you. that wraps up the hour for me. i thank you very much for the privilege of your time. i want to recognize our veterans for their service to our country. see you tomorrow night on "nbc nightly news" saturday. andrea mitchell continues our coverage next. continues our coverage next. passing through their uk port every year. don't just connect your business.
