tom emmer is heading up the nrc. i'm humbled to have the privilege to lead this conference. i will tell you, our number one goal is to get america continually moving forward. we serve in a divided government and divided country. our goal is to unite us back together again and make sure we win the majority back. we know the challenge of what we're working on and wanted to hit the ground running. we know democrats have a plan. they want to disrupt and want to try to impeach and they want to stall what achievements we have been able to move forward. we know america is too great for such a small vision. we will work through every state. we know where we have our challenges to win back the suburban areas and we will do just that. but i truly believe america is and will always be the strongest nation on the face of the earth. now i want to introduce our newest member of our leadership team, our conference chair, liz heney. ms. cheney: an honor to be here and serve on this team. i look forward to being the conference chair for the house republicans. we have a lot of work. but we ha

walters was talking about running the nrc, she was so sure she was going to win.and then this is a blowout. this is racing towards seven percentage points. and then the 49th district, this was darryl's district. orange county is a place not only did ronald reagan credit that to his rice, but in 1984 reagan won this county by 50 points. >> is it just changing demographics? >> orange county incapsulates everything about the blue wave. if the story was white working class voters in the north were beginning to vote like working white class voters in the south, and whites with a college degree in the south started voting like whites with a college degree in the north. this really is like that. this is a place where mitt romney did well and donald trump did that poorly. >> and hillary clinton was the first to make a break through and exploded to something we have not seen before and it may be that it keeps getting blue. >> yeah, in texas and the seventh district and the atlanta suburbs, and the special election which we lost track of, and then macbeth won that. >>> harr

. >> in broward county what's happening is they were supposed to start counting vote nrc recount that was ordered yesterday. they were supposed to start counting around 7:00 a.m. and according to our colleague they didn't start counting until four hours after that so, yes, they are an hour under way but here's what happened. all of the machines they're using for recount which was what was triggered at a.5% margin, they're recalibrated before they start feeding the ballots through. one machine in broward county had an issue that held up the process that's been rectified but it took four hours to fix the process so they have about 700,000 votes they need to count and this is a big county. of course it's a democratic stronghold, one we've been talking about because it's had issues, same goes with palm beach county but the county you have to look at for machine recount that have a number of ballots to count are places like memorial day, br miami-dade, palm beach county. so we're hoping all of those counties can report by the deadline which is thursday at 3:00 p.m. so that's the next deadl

it's just quite ridiculous so yeah, i think the nrc at governor scott's lead going to see what we can do to fight these battles because i think it's incredibly important to make sure that when a person goes in to vote they on the rules. they understanding what they have to do. they need to know that their vote will be counted. they also need to know that people haven't followed the rules they are designed to make sure people can vote. they need to know that their votes won't be counted. we have to work really really hard to make sure that happens. >> martha: jessica first johnson, thank you very much. good to have you here tonight. >> thank you very much. >> martha: here now katie pavlich and juan williams co-host o of "the five" and fox news analyst. juan, i guess you take issue with what she just said. >> the clear issue for me she was saying that people have to know that there is a procedure, you have to follow the procedure in order to vote. i think lots of people, especially i would point out in georgia did just that. they applied. they registered to vote. and it's over 50,000, m

forumalized in some way, whether through an mou or a less formal process like they undertake with the nrc. there is precedence for that, because they need to understand each other and we're not sure that situational awareness is occurring from either agency right now. >> great. thank you. >> thank you, senator gardner. senator manchin? >> thank you, madam chair, and thank you all for being here. my first question is going to be about blackstart itself. how many megawatts does it take, or how many megawatts of blackstart capacity do we have in the united states, if anyone can answer that? and then how many megawatts of blackstart capacity do we have in pgm? mr. ott? >> thank you, senator manchin. again, blackstart is a very unique service. >> sure. >> and so, as far as the total megawatts, it's much, much smaller. we're in the hundreds of megawatts type of -- >> sure. maybe i can ask the question a little bit differently. >> okay. >> how many megawatts does it take to start up a plant? so let's use a 900-megawatt coal fire plant. it goes down completely. the whole system collapses. >> righ

how are you going to get the country back together in the position of leadership nrc? are you going to make america united begin? >> i believe strongly in the psyche we just have to communicate better, go to places where not expected to go. we do town halls in every segment of arc unity and our district and i do inner-city town halls. we invite everybody to come in. i will stand there and take what you think would be hostile fire but it's less and less hostile the longer you stay. when they can hear which are motivated by, it is what you guys are saying that we're all trying to get to the same place. well it the best thing for the most americans. we have different ideas of how to get there. we never shy away from debate because we know our good is going to prevail in the end. why would you ever not -- we had a lot of republicans stop doing town halls. i thought that was tragic because this is the most important than ever for us to be going out and engaging the public because the media were not present on site. who will do if we don't go into those arenas? a lot of it i

one thing i would point out i was at the nrc in 2010.ads using nancy pelosi's face against the democratic incumbents. allen boyd a democrat outgoing who lost that elections cycle said she was a face that defeated us. i think with democrats in power again in the house, that is ultimately going to be an issue for them in 2020. brian: get elected i'm not going to support nancy pelosi and first thing you do is support nancy pelosi that could be a problem in two years. >> sometimes that happens, too. brian: lisa booth, thank you very much. she by the way is very cold but didn't complain the entire segment. brian: ron desantis running for governor again. now time to join the state governor. he joins us live. and from the head coach of the state department to coach of the browns? condoleezza rice. that's a rumor. she lacks thing called head coaching experience. her dad was a good coach. i can't keep up with that camera. at upmc, living-donor transplants put you first. so you don't die waiting. upmc does more living-donor liver transplants than
