spoon part of me one second, i want to go to chris stirewalt, i understand he has some breaking news, what are you hearing, chris? >> they don't need no stinkin' ap. saying they are congratulating conor lamb on his victory in the 18th district, going on to say they are calling it a fee to complete , all the house republican attacks, here is your take away. these results say that democrats should terrify republicans despite the home-field advantage, and the millions of dollars poured into this race, including the unpopular technomic tax scam, not believable, so dems are not waiting until ..iting until now, say, we one night, everybody go home. it's not over yet, but what is your sense? >> i think each party will have their spin. democrats will say this is the biggest thing ever, if it turns out that lamb wins, and republicans will say, hey, weak candidates, what is the big deal? district is going to be redone. saccone could run in the district next door and still be a congressman next january. that is true. they need to decide whether they are going to run in a different district and w

let's go right to chris stirewalt. what does that tell you? it tells you it's too close to call, but where are we tonight, chris? >> well, these are my old stomping grounds, and i can tell you that as important as this is to the country, as important as it is to democrats and republicans and everybody else, if you are the county clerk and it gets to beat nigh on about 10:30, you say you jackals can wait until tomorrow to tear each other apart. you can see me in the morning. that is decent and reasonable on their part. i understand it. i would like to make reference to something bret said before about the democrats, how they have been running nationally and the direction, the progressivism and all that stuff. we now have a third -- well, we have two winners and one potential winner. we have a guy with a lead, and we saw in alabama, and the raymore race, right? we saw the democrat there, we sought ralph northam, the new governor of virginia, there is a trend. you are starting to see a trend where you have these moderate democrats, they don't enga

kennedy: chris stirewalt, thank you for neferght world. >> power to the people.: the gun control debate isn't showing any signs of cooling down. hopefully you caught that fiery debate. millions of activists hard to call for more gun control. they are walking 50 miles to house speaker paul ryan's hometown to demand action. some people have been raising eyebrows at who is back their movement. celebrities like george and amal clooney. one rapper took to the stage. the problem is he was convicted in california last year for carrying a load gun that wasn't registered to him in that state at least. do celebrity backers taint the true meaning of the march? so, robby, you have been covering some of these marches. you have gone out and talked to some of these students. what are you learned? >> i was interested to see that they are really afraid of dying in school. like they say that to an unbelievable degree. i saw kids holding signs that said i could be next, i will be next. when you talk to them they clearly thought they would be gunned down in school. that's important

let's bring in chris stirewalt. jerry manering is something people say is at the root cause of polarization. do you think it's a big deal? >> i think in 2018 everybody always ought to take a chill pill because we keep it at 11 all the time. some things are only a 7. that's okay. look, gerrymandering makes us dumber, makes our politics dumber. what it does, it incentivizes extremism. there's no question about that. from a cultural sociological point of view, gerrymandering has made american politics much, much stupider. democrats' claims that it makes them a minority are probably not groundless but far far overstated. democrats claim the cause of the republican majority in the house and persistent republican majority since 2006 and 2010 is because of gerrymandering broadly overstates the importance of it in flipping seats. so it makes us dumber, but it doesn't make us republican. >> dana: it does seem to be more of an excuse of procedure rather than figuring out a message and policy that's more attractive and persuas

let's bring in chris stirewalt who is also editor of "half time report." chris, the president made it very clear he was reluctant to sign this bill. but he did so for all of the reasons that jennifer just mentioned. he made that very clear. >> well, he also did it because he didn't want a government shut down tomorrow and he didn't want to add further uncertainty to markets. he didn't want to further upset economic trends that are already a little messed up because of the tariffs that we imposed and china will impose. thinks are whopper-jawed in that area. a lot of incentive for republicans and democrats to not have a fiscal fight right now and just kick the can and move on. >> sandra: what changed though? the president, as you just heard jennifer say as well, he's pointing out a fact that this was a 22, 2,300 page bill. but he earlier supported this, did he not? this came out wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. only to have the tweet from the president this morning threatening to veto it. >> well, he probably in hindsight, that wasn't maybe the best choice. but l

we will see what chris stirewalt thinks. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night" p and i am shannon bream in washington. new tonight: backlash against a world wind tour of msnbc and cnn by sam nunberg. he said he would defy a subpoena from robert mueller to testify in the russian investigation. later he said he probably would cooperate. he faced direct questions on the air about whether he was drinking. a source close to the trump campaign telling fox news sam nunberg was fired for more than once for good reason. the same source said the notion there is "something on the president," is only in nunberg's mind. we are learning more about an australian diplomat who leveraged a massive donation to the clinton foundation. turns out he is the one who tipped off the fbi, launching the entire russia collusion investigation. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has more. allegations the fbi wasn't transparent when getting warrants to spy on a trump team member. >> while he says he is no fan of the commander in chief, f

fox news politic editor and editor of "the halftime report," chris stirewalt. >> "in the past i have shown interest of having delicious doughnuts." >> shannon: this is coming amid the rumors that speaker brian is going to resign. think it interest income of the dynamic is, paul ryan, i think everybody knows, paul ryan never wants to be speaker of the house. and he did it because it felt to him and he was the only guy that he could unite their fractious wings of that conference. he is not going to be there forever. there are the rumors that he will leave any minute, i'm sure he wishes he could. but in that space, kevin mccarthy, the majority leader from california, has been jockeying for position. he would be the logical next in line, right? he was a logical next in line to replace john boehner. that went over like a led zeppelin. it did not work. he figures in an era of trump and i assume, in the era of term, he has been nuzzling the president in the very vigorous ways, bringing him starburst's with the other flavors he doesn't like picked out, and all sorts of things to suck up to t

chris stirewalt is here, a fox news politics editor. good evening.illary clinton wants him to go away, and what she's saying there -- fox keeps bringing her back. she's giving a speech in india. she decides to go overseas and say among other things that two-thirds -- the places with two-thirds of the gdp in america voted for her in the one-third didn't vote for her and in places like west virginia where you grew up that voted for trump, you just don't matter. >> well, i matter. and you matter too. hillary clinton's -- put it this way, i have never seen a person function in politics at as high-level as former secretary of state and stink this much. she is really bad at it. she has a tendency to reinforce the notion that she does not care about ordinary voters, and when we look at clay's places like pennsylvania, michigan, places that flip 27, 24 points from obama to trump from 2012 to 2016, i would guess that a lot of it has to do with a strong sense that hillary clinton didn't care about the considerations of voters in those places, but they are back

we also invited chris stirewalt. >> i'm not running.. >> martha: this is a race everyone will be watching this country. >> it will be tough to say today whether they were the most vulnerable in the democrats in the united states senate, but she isn't sure of the running. it's a very tough position she finds herself in, this is a state that has only gotten more republican since she has been in office. she caught an enormously lucky break the last time with a garbage candidate that the republicans put up against her. she caught this huge break last time. hawley is learning as he goes to a certain degree, you can see that he is trying to figure out -- he's a very conservative republican and he's trying to figure out how to be more populous and the trump era, but the best thing he has going for him is he has a united party behind him, the president is behind him. he does not have the problem that other republican front runners in other states however he's facing a savage primary. he's got a clear shot at this, republicans are going to pour

let's bring in chris stirewalt, editor of halftime report.hat's a lot of fire power going in for rick saccone. do you think he needs it? >> he definitely needs it. not only is it a lot of fire power, but this is a congressional district that will cease to exist at the end of this year. >> dana: right. >> this is all about politics. this is about the trump administration trying to prevent a loss in what was supposed to be a perfectly easy race. because if saccone loses, as he might. remember, this is a district the president won by 20 point. if the republican loses there, it will set off further panic within republicans. it will make congress more unwilling to work with the president on his agenda item, and it will start a flight to the exit for republicans who are trying to save their own seats. and that is not what this white house wants so they have set this up as basically their litmus test. >> dana: police, politico was reporting on the chairman of the national republican congressional committee. apparently he was worried about it for awh

let's bring in chris stirewalt. is this a good measure of what turnout will be if your voters are excited? >> god help the man that tries to poll a special election? a single congressional district. god help them. you get down to the end in a race like this, there's so many variables here. the biggest one is the president's coming to town on saturday. though he's doing the modified limited hang you'd where it's not a campaign event and not technically in the district, that will have an effect. the north korea jazz there have an effect. this makes for a fascinating race and tell us where voter's heads are. i'm stoked. >> dana: kellyanne conway take a vacation day to do an event for rick saccone. she said we've proven that unified republican party when you're? the majority, you can get things done. you look at the economic numbers. there's no doubt the economy is on a roll. is that going to be a persuasive message? don't do anything to stop this momentum. >> the whole thing about trumpism is that focused on the result

let's bring in chris stirewalt. the politics editor and the editor of "half time report." good to see you. a lot of people were waiting to see what questions might come up about stormy daniels and the interview that she did last night on "60 minutes." from my perspective, raj shah didn't give them a lot of room except for one part where the president apparently is questioning what she said last night is accurate. we don't have the sound but that's just what happened. so i felt like raj shah said that there's nothing here. we have it now. okay. play it. >> was the president aware of a physical thread made against ms. daniel when she was with her daughter in 2011? >> the president doesn't believe any of the claims that mrs.daniels made were accurate. >> what is his basis for that? >> he doesn't believe that -- there's nothing to corroborate her claim. >> dana: up to now, the white house has been circumspect about commenting on it at all. if the media wants to advance this story, that's the nugget that they'll try to go with. >> that one and you have him talking about the pre

. >> dana: joining me now, chris stirewalt, editor of "the halftime report." chris, there's something happening here in montana. >> yes. >> dana: can you clear it up for us? >> i'm out of fingers was not the campaign slogan that i expected to see in 2018. i'm out of fingers. look, the key for john tester is he doesn't have -- well, to back up, when donald trump picked ryan zinke to come into his cabinet, he was doing a couple things, but one of them was to deprive republicans of their best bet to knock off tester. so i'm not saying the republicans heeded the race, but to a certain degree, it took it off of their top tier. as they're trying to settle on a nominee, trying to figure out what they're doing, they don't have any great shakes yet. tester is trying to get out in front while we has the resources and the opportunity. so when the republicans come and say he is a liberal democrat. he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, he can say, wait, i have demonstrated i'm perfectly willing to work with donald trump. i'm not hash tag resist. i'm hash tag out of fingers. >>

let's bring in fox news politics editor chris stirewalt. how are you? by the way, garrett said he is talking about the meeting between the president and the leader of north korea. today steve bannon saying he doesn't actually think that's going to happen. >> if steve bannon knew so much, he probably would still work at the white house. if steve bannon is as good at foreign policy as is as winning special elections for the senate, well, never mind. >> shannon: let's move on to ambassador bolton who is going to join the white house in this new role. people are talking about how different he is from the president. jefferson morley wrote "the biggest problem is that he has hawkish onrush just like every other issue and way more hawkish than his boss." >> i don't know who jefferson morley is. it's a solid sounding name. i don't think that's probably true. >> shannon: with respect to russia. he has had plenty to say that's not flattering about russia. people complain about the president being so nice to putin. speak with the president has been willing to allo

fox news editor chris stirewalt. let's talk about that first. is a lot of hubbub around those tariffs. there are republicans who are very upset at the idea much a trade war. but this issue resonates in the sweet spot that is pennsylvania. chris: it's western pennsylvania to boot. trump won that district by 20 and that is so. but republicans is only 10 points. this should be a safe republican seat. but the president is more popular than his party in. >> substantial part to economic protectionism. the winner he is picking is the steel industry and aluminum is going to be very popular with people in that part of the country. kennedy: is it worth a trade war? chris: i just do politics. sorry for your 401k and how much your car costs. but it may be good politics. let's say the president ends up doing short of what they are talking about. we want to do it in and year like it's a big tariff. kennedy: you could make it seem like a real tariff. get the win in pennsylvania then walk it back upon fushter reflection. chris: he can always trump it later. but
