a very good day to all the from msnbc world headquarters in new york. welcome to alex witt reports.

developing this hour, control of congress remains up for grabs as we can as votes are still being counted for the 2022 midterm elections. right now, the u.s. senate is tied up at 49 to 49 with uk races under sided. georgia senate race is headed to a december six runoff, between democratic incumbent refer warnock and herschel walker. meanwhile, nevada senate race remains too close to call. at this hour, katherine cortez masto trails republican challenger adam laxalt by about 800 votes. calling that race could come as soon as this afternoon with county expected to count today. late last night, nbc news decision desk projected democratic senator mark kelly won reelection over blake maskers in arizona. at this point, in order to take control of the senate, republicans would need to win at both georgia and nevada. democrats only need to win one

of those seats to maintain control. kamala harris is the tie breaking vote as she has been the last couple of years. in the house, nbc news decision desk currently projects republicans taking the majority with 220 seats to democrats to 15. that is within the margin of error. the chamber is very much still in play with 22 races remaining on call. democrats need to win 15 of them to take control. republicans need seven. among those on-call races, colorado third district, where republican incumbent uber is locked in a tight race with adam fresh. we discussed why he has been able to make it a very close contest. >> she only won 51% of the vote in 2020. she did not win her home county. my view is that those are -- they wanted another option. people want the service to stop, they want to talk about that phrase. whether i was in the most red parts of the district, which

there is a lot of, they agreed. >> meanwhile, republicans point fingers at trump over the parties underwhelming performance. it is apparently not turning him from announcing another white house run in 2024. >> president trump is going to announce on tuesday that he is running for president. it is going to be a very professional, very button dot announcement. he said, look, the doesn't need to be any question, of course i'm running. i'm going to do this. i want to make sure that people know that i'm fired up and we have to get the country back on track. >> don trump has now sued the house january six committee, arguing its subpoena, seeking his testimony documents tied to the capitol attack was invalid. trump was scheduled for a deposition on monday. for more on the midterms, we turn to vaughan in arizona, stephanie in nevada, and antonia in georgia. we welcome you all, first we're

gonna head you vaughan in phoenix. we have democrat katie hobbs who is actually growing her very thin lead over republican kari lake in the governor's race there. when can we expect the final results? >> we are gonna be waiting for another batch of those results to come tonight. those could be consequential, results that are released, i know we've been saying after days. tonight could be that night because last night it was for the arizona senate race. it was an important senate race, we're talking about the balance of power. take a look at where the country stands right now. we look towards nevada and georgia ahead. >> democrats just one seat away from holding the senate. arizona democrat mark kelly winning reelection overnight. nbc news projects being a republican blake masters in a pivotal and closely fought race. >> this is been a tough election. >> kelly running in a statement, this campaign has been about the many democrats, independents, and republicans who believe in working together to tackle the significant challenges we face. in nevada, incumbent democratic

senator katherine cortez masto coming republican adam laxalt's lead down to just 821 votes in the neck and neck race. around 62,000 ballots left to be counted. democrats must win the ballot to keep control of the senate while republicans look set to win the u.s. house, just narrowly. in the governor races, republican joe lombardo will unseat current governor steve sisolak in nevada. in arizona, a heated race between katie hobbs and her republican opponent kari lake is still too close to call. like trailing in the votes, stoking unfounded claims overnight about the election. >> we have had such terrible elections, they are on poorly, they're rife with fraud. nothing is being done. >> lake has provided no specific allegations of fraud in her election. >> have any of the campaigns come to you with any allegations of fraud or irregularities? to you with any>> not that i'm. of >> this week's battle of

power, a prelude to former president trump's announcement. a close trump advisor saying on friday, -- >> here is what is important for people to realize, trump is going to run for president. >> it comes after trump backed candidates series a series of losses. the former president increases pressure from multiple investigations. trump overnight announcing that he is suing the january six committee in an effort to block a subpoena that would force him to testify next week. >> all of that for former president trump is of course happening with the backdrop that the democrats are looking to hold on to control in the u.s. senate here. and really be a force, not only on capitol hill in d.c., but also at the governor level, winning those major races in wisconsin, michigan, and of course when we're looking at the ballot counting here, potentially arizona. mark kelly, alex, i know we will be tackling that next hour. he is set to take the microphone behind me at the top

of the next hour to address supporters as part of his definition of victory here. it is a major pickup for democrats here, he is going to be serving a full six year term ahead. >> absolutely a victory speech rally, whatever you want to call it, a big thank you to his supporters. thank you so much vaughn, we will look for to that. let's go now to vegas and stephanie for more on nevada. stephanie, welcome to you. what is the timeline look like for the counter? >> it's been the same since election day where they had a press conference here around 2:30 eastern, they tell us how many votes they have left, how many votes they plan to drop that night. at night, that's what they do here in clark county. the same has been the case in this county where reno is. last night, like it has been the last three nights, it was a good night for cortez masto. that lead that adam had shrunk down to 862 votes. it is basically a death by

thousand cuts for that lead that he maintained after election day. it is worth just noting that on election day the people voted in person, heavily favored adam laxalt. since then, what has been happening in the state is that they have been counting those mail-in ballots. those mail-in ballots, specifically here in clark county and washable county have broken very, very heavily for cortez masto. what we are looking at is maybe tens of thousands of votes to drop tonight. if that trend continues, you could conceivably have, by the end of the night, cortez masto with a lead and potentially thousands of votes ahead of adam laxalt. >> okay, we know we're gonna be watching that very closely. you said 2:30 pm eastern. okay, two and half, three and a half hours for that. thank you very much stephanie. we will join me right now mr. nevada, john ralston, an nbc's -- is that what you're looking for two at 3:30 this afternoon as

stephanie was reporting? >> well, it's been very erratic as stephanie knows, alex. the red star in clark county has had a press conference at 2:30 eastern time, every day for the last few days. they have announced some ballot counts, but we don't know when they are going to actually be reported. there are about 20, 22,000 ballots to be counted in clark county. as stephanie said, we have heavily favored catherine cortez masto. if she gets a reasonable percentage of those, she is probably going to be ahead in this race. that doesn't mean that she's going to win. there are still anywhere from 8 to 10,000 ballots to be counted in this county, which is reno. she has won there as well. but then there are thousands of those in rural nevada, we are not quite sure how many. it seems like there's probably 5 to 7000. adam laxalt will windows, the

question is, what is the margin? as stephanie said, it is possible that by tonight, whenever all these numbers come in, alex, that katherine cortez masto could have a lead in this race. >> so you're saying that we could realistically expect a winner to be declared by today? or was it merely just a leader in the race by that 5 pm deadline that is been out there. do you think we can expect recounts, lawsuits in this race if it doesn't meet the fog cam deadline? >> well, the answer to all those questions could be yes. it depends what the margins are in the urban areas for catherine cortez masto. if she wins by a really large margin, by that i mean 60% plus then she is going to have a significant lead, thousands of votes and you may be able to declare a winner. i'm not sure that is going to happen. one more thing, one more variable to toss in here.

there are ballots that are not gonna be counted until next week. these are mail ballots that have problems there are thousands of these ballots more than their provisional ballots. someone comes the same-day registration and there are allowed to vote, but then they have to check in the system to make sure that they haven't voted twice. that takes a few days. katherine cortez masto could be ahead by so much that those votes may not matter. but, i'm not so sure that that is going to happen, alex. >> it's funny, what i want to vote i was standing beside someone who is casting about. it's funnit did take some timet was worth the wait. let me ask you about this week. trump said that count county nevada has a corrupt voting system and needs more time to cheat. and then you had senator lindsey graham suggesting a fraud is the only way adam laxalt could lose. john, have there been any legitimate concerns over the fair counting of mail-in ballots? >> no, alex, of course not.

those comments are completely outrageous. yes, there is frustration, i am frustrated, everyone is frustrated by how long it takes. but these counters have to follow the law that was set up to count these mail ballots. it is a labourious process, it is enshrines in state law. there is no evidence of fraud. as i keep saying, alex, think about it. a republican has just defeated an incumbent governor here in nevada. this cheating scheme by the democrats, as don trump and lindsey graham and others have suggested, was sophisticated enough that they lost the governorship? it makes absolutely no sense. -- >> you hit the nail on the head. this thing drives me nuts. it worked for that one, but didn't work for this one. please, do people think we are not paying attention, we are stupid? it is ridiculous. let's talk about adam laxalt though who has been a very staunch supporter of donald trump and the election fraud claims. and yet, it is notable that he

did not take a page from trump's 2020 playbook, did not prematurely declare victory, even though he was there. was that because he was confident this whole time? did he play things the right way? >> we are going to find out. we are not at the end yet. he has made some comments that she can't catch up with the votes that are left in clark county. it just shows that he is as bad math as lindsey graham is. but he is not declared any fraud claims as he did in 2020 on behalf of the trump campaign. there could be a few reasons for that, alex. one is that he may want to run for something again. even though it may be difficult in nevada. he doesn't want to cry wolf. the sheriff of county, how is he going to make that jive with liberals victory? it's going to be very, very difficult. there's fraud in the election after lombardo, he was talking

to win by that much by the way, alex. he is just eat out a close win. so, to be very, very difficult, it will be difficult for him to be a credible claims of fraud. >> okay, john, you are still on the clock. so go to it, we will check in with you again no doubt, see how things turn out there in your state, mr. nevada. so, when you saw the long lines like those here in arizona that you're about to see, and then the once in michigan, georgia as well, it might cost you mind and this new headline will capture what may have crossed remind. the supreme court lost republicans in the midterms. i'm going to talk about that with robert gibbs, former white house press secretary coming up at one eastern today. meantime, we are focused on politics, but there is a very important meeting that is happening on monday and we'll be watching. we are waiting, that is next. be watching. awere waiting, that is next

if you are just joining, us here's what you need to know at this hour. control of congress is in limbo. two senate races are on --

even as a new batch of votes from nevada shrinks the gap between incumbent catherine cortez masto and republican adam laxalt to just one tenth of a percentage point. this race is certainly too close to call. with just under 60,000 votes left to be tallied, we are expecting another big ballot drop later today. meanwhile the arizona's race for governor, democrat katie hobbs is expanding her lead over republican kari lake. who is trailing by just over 30,000 votes. it's still too early to call. let's go to the breaking news that we're seeing. president biden is in cambodia, the first stop on his weeklong trip to asia. this morning the president met with world leaders and southeast asia in an effort to strengthen their united front against our strength of china. nbc's carrie -- is joining us from cambodia. what can you tell us about today's discussions? >> it's good to see you alex. the president began his

meetings with the meeting with the host country, the leader of cambodia. he's had other meetings with the southeast asian leaders. he's attending a dinner with them right now. his goal here is to try to reassure these leaders that the u.s. is committed to engagement in this region. particularly admit china's aggression and expansion in the region. the president talked about the importance of all of these countries to its national security strategy. take a listen. >> côte d'ivoire -- is the heart of my administration specific strategy. we continue to strengthen our commitment to work in lockstep with an empower, unified aussie. today we take another chris is a critical step -- with the launch of the u.s. asean partnership. >> the president tomorrow has a

critical meeting with the leaders of south korea and japan and north korea and its pressure recent provocations will be top of mind in that meeting. then he flies to bali for the high stakes meeting with chinese president xi jinping. that's a meeting where the white house is really downplaying expectations. they're saying there are not gonna be big announcements coming out of, that no big joint statement. it's essentially meeting for these two leaders to sit face to face for the first time since president biden took office and exchange their views on a range of issues, everything from taiwan to trade to climate change to china's relationship with russia. that's something that is going to be a topic for the president in all of his meetings at the g20 summit, the war in ukraine and trying to maintain a united front among western nations to support ukraine and isolate russia. a lot on the agenda. alex >> a lot to parse through the white house readout on that particular meeting.

thank you carole lee, safe travels. while the blame game for the republicans is that the fever pitch. certainly, a five letter word keeps coming up. you know the word. that's next. that's next. a real challenge. that's why i use the freestyle libre 2 system. with a painless, one-second scan, i know my glucose numbers without fingersticks. now, i'm managing my diabetes better, and i've lowered my a1c from 8.2 to 6.7. take the mystery out of managing your diabetes and lower your a1c. now you know. try it for free at freestylelibre.us numbers move you. but some can stop you in your tracks. like the tens of thousands of people who were diagnosed with certain hpv-related cancers. for most people, hpv clears on its own. but for those who don't clear the virus, it can cause certain cancers. gardasil 9 is a vaccine given to adults through age 45 that can help protect against certain diseases caused by hpv. including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal,

and certain head and neck cancers such as throat and back of mouth cancers, and genital warts. gardasil 9 doesn't protect everyone and does not treat cancer or hpv infection. your doctor may recommend screening for certain hpv-related cancers. women still need routine cervical cancer screenings. you shouldn't get gardasil 9 if you've had an allergic reaction to the vaccine, its ingredients, or are allergic to yeast. tell your doctor if you have a weakened immune system, are pregnant, or plan to be. the most common side effects include injection site reactions, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, tiredness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and sore throat. fainting can also happen. help protect what counts. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about gardasil 9. i recommend nature made vitamins because i trust their quality. they were the first to be verified by usp... ...an independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards. nature made. the number one pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand.

meet leon the third... leon the second... and leon... the first of them all. three generations, who all bank differently with chase. leon's saving up for his first set of wheels... nice try. really? this leon's paying for his paint job on the spot... and this leon, as a chase private client, he's in the south of france, taking out cash with no atm fees. that's because this family of leons has chase. actually, it's león. ooh la la! one bank for now. for later. for life. chase. make more of what's yours. lauren boebert only won 51% of

the vote in 2020. she did not win her home county. my view is that those who know her best don't care for her. they wanted another option. >> colorado democratic house candidate -- 's is in a nail-biter of a race with republican lauren boebert. day five is now dallas county. boebert has a slight lead with 99% of the vote in. -- we will not be finalized to learn the next. week meanwhile in arizona, democratic candidate for secretary of state state adrienne fontes is the projected winner over republican election denier mark finchem. and democrat katie hobbs leads

over trump backed kari lake in arizona. about 400,000 ballots are still outstanding across that state. from there to georgia, where the senate runoff election could once again determine which party controls the upper chamber. democrat incumbent raphael warnock and republican herschel walker are back on the campaign trail, with the december 6th runoff, since neither candidate reach 50% of the vote this week. let's go to antonia in atlanta for. us antonio, the runoff is three weeks away, how are warnock and walker gearing up to face off again? did they really step off the campaign trail given up closest races? >> no. alex they haven't taken their foot off their gas. a lot of people know this moment was coming. they were both ready to relaunch the next face of the campaign. republican herschel walker had an event the other night with senator ted cruz at his size, which was an interesting choice, because raphael warnock

mentions cruz a decent amount when he's on the, road as someone he's worked with across the aisle in a bipartisan fashion. that same day, raphael warnock had an event in atlanta, rallying people but making a new message. aiming at people in the middle. the split ticket voters who may have gone front camp at the top of the ticket, but may not be comfortable with herschel walker, and may not be very comfortable if and when former president trump announces he's running again this coming week. he's gonna be rolling the base, but he's also gonna be going after those folks in the middle who may not want a trump backed candidate like herschel walker to represent him in the senate. both candidates are fired up right now. planning a series of events as well. these next few weeks are gonna go by quickly. take a look to both of their messages. >> i'm running again, the guy running against is a slick one. he's a slick. when i knew that when i saw

him. my father told me about those smooth working, dress docking people, they dressed so nice, they use all the big. words >> this race is about competence. it's also requires an awareness of the challenges facing -- and willingness and ability to work with them and address them. herschel walker has shown us he is not capable. he's not ready to do any of that. in fact, he has shown us that he is not really interested in doing any of that. >> the warnock campaign tells me they are feeling like the wind is in their backs right now, this environment, after tuesday, the red wave that never was, looking at the data saying that herschel walker -- they are now in an environment that it's going to favor him. but neither candidate will take anything for granted in the coming days. we expect to see them all over

the state of georgia. this is gonna be a bit of a different. race there's no percent cut off. it's just winner takes all. who is gonna get the most votes alex. >> okay antonia hylton, thank you so much for that. a midterm playing game is intensifying with the republican party this weekend, if you look at the headlines trump is under fire with the gop being called an obvious target by time magazine. but trump and self is also looking for someone to blame after more than a dozen candidates he endorsed lost key senate house and gubernatorial races. joining me now is former republican congressman -- and in this nbc political analyst former communication director for jeb bush back in 2016, also an innocent is a political analyst. hey guys welcome to you both. how many of these losses were due to trump's influence and versus senator mitch mcconnell put, is candidate quality issues? well alex, the truth is that

they are two in the same. donald trump recruited some of these candidates, he campaigned for all of them. he made sure that they won their primaries because unfortunately right now the republican party, and perhaps that is changing, the most important thing you can have going for you in the primaries is to have donald trump support. he went to these candidates and that is why people are blaming him because his candidates are the ones that lost and mitch mcconnell's right to point out in the summer that republicans had a candidate quality issue, which is why it was more likely that the senate would flip republican. looks very possible that may indeed be the case. republicans lost because donald trump recruited and campaign for candidates who were not the ideal candidates to face democrats in general elections. >> can i just say, listening to that sound board that was played by antonio hilton of herschel walker, when he talks about the guy being a sleek

devil and talks about smooth talking. i was listening to that and this is what my face look like. my director started direct laughing aloud. when you talk about the quality of candidates. but let's move on to you, here is what newly elected republican of new york said about donald trump. here it is. >> do you want to see the party before it for trump? >> yeah, i think moving in a different direction as we move forward is a good thing, not a bad thing. but ultimately, look, the voters will decide what they want to do. the former president will decide what he wants to do. >> are you too surprised that republicans are now openly blaming trump for party losses, or at least saying that they have to put them in the rear view mirror? can this republican party move past him? >> i really don't know. mike lawler, new congressman, i totally agree with what he said there.

it was a little bit lukewarm. meanwhile, across the state in new york, much more prominent congresswoman elise stefanik, who took outlays cheney is already endorsing trump for 2024, which is tremendous. i think when you look at the analysis that the representative just made, i think it was one half of the problem. one part of the problem was donald trump endorsed these candidates. the other half the problem was that they stand with the other republicans, more normal republicans to invite him. herschel walker got a passing georgia. they didn't even try this. mitch mcconnell, back when i was in the party, he is too aggressively target the worst candidates in the primary and try to defeat them with a better candidates. well, they did you that this time because they were so scared of donald trump. they were scared their own voters would overflow them. maybe that changes now, maybe he is the canary in the coal mine. until i see a more aggressive full frontal attack on the former president from prominent republicans, from people to have influence over the mega

base, i'm going to remain skeptical that they are going to be able to move away. we might get a repeat of what we saw on january 6th. >> to your point, he is first out of the gate, he may not want to come out swinging. i understand why you identify, describe that statement as lukewarm. he still put it out there. he is the number three leader in the house. are you surprised, is she not reading the tea leaves? is she not gauging properly the winds out there, the republican tempest that is out there around donald trump? >> maybe she is reading the tea leaves and we are not reading the tea leaves i, guess that's my question. this is a question of the republican base, what do they want? i don't know, i hope she is extremely wrong and has egg on her face and this is the death now for her extremely calculated, craven move to suck up to dollar shop. despite the fact that she's to be a moderate republican. i hope that she is wrong. >> is that her angle, tim?

she is sucking up to him because she used to be a moderate? i have to suck up to don't shop. >> just briefly, going back to access hollywood, all the way to january six. a bunch of people said, i guess this is the time to move on for don trump. if you were to maximize power in the republican party, the best thing you could've done during all the time to say no, i'm gonna stick with him. i think that is what she's doing now. she's trying to make a power play. she is making a bet that if i stick with him early, the base will stick with him. i really hope she is wrong. every time before this, that is been the right play. we will see, maybe this will be the breaking point. >> then there is this, carlos. jason miller, certainly longtime adviser to don trump, told steve bannon on his podcast that trump will absolutely announce a run for president on tuesday. but this comes after earlier in the week she suggested trump should move his announcement till after the georgia runoff. how would a trump 2024 announcement affect the georgia race? how do you think this plays out?

>> alex, all we need to do is look back to january of 2021. wendell sharp single-handedly, and not to take away anything from the democrats who ran successfully in georgia, but donald trump single-handedly ruined the chances of the republican senators who were running by just using horrible messaging, by insisting on this election lie, by distracting republican voters, by depressing republican turnout and what he is going to do now when he announces for president, because i believe he will, is the same exact thing. he is going to be talking about the 2020 election, repeating the lie that it was stolen and turning off a lot of centrist voters and even some republican voters who split their tickets in this last election to defeat some of these election deniers. the best thing that can happen for democrats, politically

speaking, because for the country's terrible, but the best thing that can happen for democrats on the ballot is for donald trump to be prominent and to be calling attention to himself because that only benefits democrats. >> it only benefits him, which is why he is doing it i would think. let me ask you about colorado, tim. it is your state, congressman lauren finds itself in a very close reelection battle, leading by about 1000 votes or so. why so close? is she going to hang on to the receipt you think? >> wasn't on this show, alex, that i shouted out adam fresh as a potential runner? not a lot of people trusted him, he ran an amazing race as an independent minded democrat, focus on the issues, focus on being a workhorse on a show horse. this is the thing, colorado, that was just a republican plus senate race district. this is not a marjorie taylor greene district. he misjudged how mega that

district was and he was just saying, he needs republican voters. the election denial, the craziest too far for them. right now, i think she is a very, very narrow edge. i wish more people would believe in adam fresh. we will see what happens next week. but colorado was just a landslide for democrats, this is a swing state when i was growing up. it is no longer because the republicans have failed to put up candidates who can appeal to the state. candidates who are not passing theories, who believe in climate change, that can appeal to the younger more dynamic folks who voted in denver and colorado springs. >> if that particular district is not as mega as boebert might say it is, to carlos, how mega has florida become given that is your state? >> well, that is an interesting question, alex. ironically, even though ron desantis came up through the

trump farm system and used the trump playbook to get the power, he has now become donald trump's number one public enemy and governor desantis actually refused to ask trump for his endorsement during the governor's reelection campaign. he did not campaign with him, at the end of the campaign, donald trump refused to invite desantis to rally that he had in south florida. there is a great irony going on in florida, ron desantis who clearly was a disciple of donald trump, who relied on donald trump to become a known figure in the florida republican party, now may become donald trump's most powerful opponent and might become a vehicle for those who want to stop and oppose donald trump in the republican party. there is a great irony in all. this >> trump knows it in fact, he's already started going after ron desantis, governor greg young of virginia, clearly he sees them as threats.

they probably very much are. kim, carlos, good to see both. thanks guys so much. here is a programming note for all of you, tomorrow we're going to talk to stephanie grisham, former communications director for melania trump. we will report the former president is blaming his wife urging him to support a losing candidate mehmet oz for the senate. that is noon eastern tomorrow. then at one eastern, filmmaker and podcast michael moore is gonna give us his take on the way forward after correctly predicting what was going to happen into this day's election. that is tomorrow on alex witt reports. meantime, just a moment, the people who survived a horrific event that should sound and alarm about an existential threat to the entire planet. threat to thene tire planet.

>> [speaking non-english] >> joining us now, dance myth, singer songwriter of bastille which wrote a song for this documentary. it appears sunday on msnbc. dan, welcome to you. i want to hear about the inspiration for you in the band behind this song, hope for the future, in the documentary. >> i was sent the film by the producers and the director

orlando in the midst of -- and i watched it on my laptop sitting here on my sofa. it's a remarkably moving film. it's incredibly esoteric. it's obviously devastating at what happened and all the families that were effective. but there's a real string of hope alongside the grief. in the film. what it does brilliantly is that takes climate change and you can see so which seems so incomprehensibly far away and so distance, but these issues are affecting people all over the world, increasingly. and this takes a really personal story, how affected people physically and how it affected this community. but then it becomes about positive ways we can effect change, anyway, i watch the film, sat here and the producers and director had said, we would love you to write a

song for the and credits. and as the credits, rolls there was silent. i was sitting on the sofa, blubbering away. i don't often cry at films. it's so beautiful in affecting. and i thought, oh god, the last thing anyone needs is a best il-sung to come in right now. but, i spoke to the them about, i was really moved by it, so i picked up a guitar, and i just started writing the song fell out the team. seem to be feeling it really sums up i guess the feeling of the film. and it is a song i'm hugely proud of. it's a different sound for us. we're just super honored to be involved in a film like this, with such an important message. >> it sounds to me like it's a song that borne out of the passion that you are holding right now. that is probably one of the

most beautiful things of this film. when we talk about the important message of the film, that climate change affects everyone, i'm reminded that this particular fire in 2017, the very next year, paradise, california, a very small town, 2018, erupted in flames. this is not an isolated incident. talk about the global crisis and what this specific documentary highlights. >> like i said before, what it does brilliantly's show both of the community level and the families devastated by this, children who were lost, entire communities affected by this. it's happening all over the world. and they project and increase an extreme force fires by the end of the century. -- also flooding, see, rising the drastically changing weather. i live in the uk.

it's a cliché for a reason that it's raining, gray country, london is a dripping constantly rain clouded, a gray cloud, town. but this summer has been insanely hot. we again, it's a british cliché, but it's tangible, it's real. it's affecting all of us. be that a slight increase in temperature, or the devastating events that are breaking through communities and taking away peoples homes and in particular people's lives. it couldn't be more tangible. it's a really weak -- and they're amazing people like gretta, and so many campaigners and activists, and scientists we, and people have spent their lives researching and finding out why this is happening in speaking as loud as they can. i think we as people have this really amazing ability to sometimes not be affected by

something until it affects you personally, or someone that you know, and that is through anything through other lives. but what this funds is really well, and what resonates with me, is that it makes it personal. we -- you need to see how it is on a daily, hourly, familiar basis affecting people. and destroying lives. we >> and you know what, denim gonna say, you are an amazing spokesperson forward. i know you're not the producer or the creator, you've created something beautiful within, but i appreciate your personal notes and you're including a lot of passion here thank you for speaking with us about, and i'm sure for this interview lot of people will tune in. i want to remind all of you, the film is from devils breath, it appears tomorrow at ten eastern on msnbc. it also is streaming on peacock.

for sure, at this point it is still looking most likely that republicans are going to end up taking the majority in the house, but is looking like it will be a very slim margin, much less than we were anticipating early on seeing the momentum along the electorate, they certainly have performed better than anticipated in many key districts. we will wait and see at this point, it is looking likely that it will be republicans, democrats are holding their own. >> what is going on in california, they are taking so long to count the remaining votes. there are other places where it is taking a while. but california, it seems kind of extreme. >> certainly, california has historically taken some time to count the votes. they have state officials, they have more time to count as the votes to make sure everything is accounted for. it is a very big state, there are lot of districts, that all adds to the timing there. there are some close races

there that we are watching. but in general, the answer is maybe a little bit boring. it takes time to count ballots, especially as we are seeing more and more voters start to send in their ballots through the mail, dropbox is in states like california, arizona, nevada. that is just going to add time to the process. of course, we have heard from the former president and some republicans who want to cast out on election results by pointing to these longer wait times. but really, these longer wait times in many cases our example of how state and local officials are taking time to make sure that they are checking these ballots, making sure that everything looks okay and to ensure the integrity of our elections. >> it's like santa's list, you're checking everything twice. anyway, let's move on to a couple of specifics here. some of the more closely watched races, let's start with the house race for colorado's third district. congresswoman lauren is very narrowly leading democratic challenger. if she favor to ultimately win this? >> it is too close to call at

this point, but she is absolutely had early on. she looked like she was going to lose. this is an important district for a couple of different reasons. obviously, she has made a name for herself, she is very recognizable as a firebrand republican in the house. she is very outspoken on her positions. she is also in a district that looked relatively safer republicans. a district that voted for trump by a decent margin. this was unexpected, especially given how well republicans seem to be set of going into this election. it is an important area where it could be a democratic win, and even the fact that he's been this close really does show that democrats are out voting our expectations. >> alaska soul house race, she is reading her republican challengers sarah palin and nick begich by 20%. does this go to a runoff or does the winner get to determine? what do you think? >> again, we are going to wait and see.

it is very interesting. that is a trend that we've been watching really closely to see how that changes the results. it could again, it's one of the reasons why this takes a live bit longer for us to figure out given that they have to go back through those ballots and re-rank these choices. as the margins grow, it could avoid a runoff, but we are still waiting for those final ballots to be counted. >> last question as we move to los angeles. the mayor's race there is describing a lot of national tension, they're having a very slightly distant different business. how long it's going to take for that race to be called? is there any indication who's likely to win? >> you know, again in california, they have these longer process is so they are still counting votes. it does look like representative is in a good position to ultimately win this. but i think it will take a little bit longer, especially as the races are very close. the fact that we are seeing close races across the country is in itself going to lead to taking more time.

every ballot means even more. it could be the deciding factor, that's why we're having to wait to get these decisions in. but that certainly is a race we're watching closely. they have a good opportunity to pull ahead. >> okay, closely watching these very close races. thank you so much for your time. at the top of the hour, all the numbers need to know about where those key races stand and a bonkers prediction from steve about a few undecided california races. in fact, you can hear him saying it. stay right there, -- saying it. stay right there, -- stay right there, -- a once-daily pill. when uc got unpredictable,... i got rapid symptom relief with rinvoq. check. when uc held me back... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc got the upper hand... rinvoq helped visibly repair the colon lining. check. rapid symptom relief. lasting, steroid-free remission. and a chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check. check. and check.
