you were listening to vaughn there. how much is this a race about race, and is that a problem for democrats and republicans? >> i think the former local official there in mississippi just said it right to vaughn when he taulks about the fact that this does drudge up terrible memories. vaughn mentioned emmett till in his comments. also remember you've got the three civil rights workers who were killed trying to register voters in the 60s. you've got medgar evers who was killed, and she makes this comment about public happening which is a not so subtle dog whistle in mississippi. i certainly hope that mrs. hyde-smith, that senator hyde-smith was just accidentally dog whistling those comments, but it doesn't feel like it. it feels like she's hugging president trump very close. democrats have a real shot here, and i don't think that that point can be missed. look at what happened with roy moore in neighboring alabama. another historically republican conservative state where democrats won, and they won because you had a flaw

and vaughn hillyard in arizona. let's get straight to lyanne for more on where we can see signs of whether it's a blue or red wave today. >> reporter: sure, marlie. well, it's finally election day. there's a lot of people who have been waiting for this day, not just us as journalists, but voters as well. and it is evident in the fact that 35 million people have already taken to the polls and voted. that's approaching presidential level years. what that is showing us is that enthusiasm is super high among republicans and democrats, they're breaking re so wha d mean? we do noah corresponding to the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll the democrats do have an advantage heading into election day. there is a 7-point advantage among democrats, but we also do know that it comes down to individual races, and that's really what's going to matter. and the voters that go to the ballot boxes in the districts in states across the country, what we're going to be watching tonight is that democrats will have a good night if

vaughn, what did espy just tell you? >> reporter: yeah, good morning, craig. to secretary espy essentially about the debate in which cindy hyde-smith said to all of those who are offended she certainly apologized to those individuals about the comments she had made and the tape that was released in which she referred to sitting in the front row for a public hanging. i want to play you that soundbite of mike espy here in mississippi responding to her apology. >> i try not to judge people. i only heard what i heard, and when i begin to hear that coming out of her mouth, i looked and she had her head down and she was reading it. my mother always told me that when you apologize to someone you look them in the eye. you tell them that you're sorry and you offended them and you try to make reparations if you can. so i can't judge her sincerity. >> craig, talking to a large number of black voters here across the state over the last couple of days, there's been a -- i think you could call it a frustration and anger when they see cindy hyde-smith in what was essentially

one last question to vaughn hilliard. you have been there awhile. doing between now and the polls opening? what's your last question to try to get answered? >> reporter: well, the last questions we try to get answered, my guess, joining him next hour at a faith event at a church with a couple of gospel singers and essentially targeting, where hillary clinton won, where he spent the last few days, he needs to juice up ultimately that outcome. that's where we're hanging out. >> have you had enough barbeque yet, vaughn? >> reporter: we can also get a second serving around 9:00 after that. how about that. >> thank you very much. and panel. you can't go anywhere. vaughn can. >>> we're going to talk climate change and the report the white house didn't want you to see. that's next. ♪ let's do the thing that you do. let's clear a path. let's put down roots. let's build something. let's do the thing that you do. let's do the thing that changes the shape of everything... that pushes us forward and keeps us going. let's do the work. the zip code you're born in

vaughn. >> reporter: good evening, rev. it's on the forefront of voter mind.om the southern part of the state to mu albany up here it's the forefront of the mind, the topic of conversation. i want to play this little bit of sound. we left the second campaign event for cindy hyde smith. she the hadn't been on the campaign trail for days. final le we talked to her since that you could call it it a quasi apology. she said to those at the debate offended i certainly apologize. i asked the question up in the air particular will african-american voters here on the ground was what she was apologizing for and what it was she was acknowledging the impact of her comments. this is the interaction a fup moments ago. >> some peoplecy seeing your apology they questioned what you were apologizing for could you clarify. >> if i hurt anybody's feelings if i hurt anybody's feeling. we're just staying on the issues on people's mind that is lower taxes, less regulations, you know, second amendment all of those things so you know i've just -- any time i've said anything -- somebod

thank you hillary vaughn thanks.ly figures showing that shopping season is off to a great start iowa dob bee an liting reports 5 p.m. yesterday consumers spent 1.75 billion or dollars online. most of it on their smartphones. putting thanksgiving on track to be one of the fastest growing retail days in online shopping history. what does this mean for brick-and-mortar stores, though, bring in herzog of h squared research good friday morning to you. what does this mean for mobile because from from what i see 60% of the shopping actually is done on a smartphone. >> yeah. it is interesting susan. paypal cam out with a study that said -- about 48% of americans are probably going to spend online or on mobile devices as they shop during this holiday season so it is in line exactly with what they were reporting as well, and round, i think what we're seeing at the mall is sort of the exception and not the rule people are certainly shopping. and they're going to stores and they're participating in all of that. but a lot of purc

rehema ellis, thank you, vaughn hillyard a big thanks to you as well. let me bring in former national press secretary for the democratic congressional campaign committee and hugh hewitt, an msnbc political analyst. thank you both. as the day unfolds before the results start to come in, what are you watching for specifically there in mississippi? >> well, i'm looking at a couple different numbers. one, the percentage of the electorate that is african-american. on november 6th there was about 33%. they need to boost that a little bit. there's also the non- -- the non-republican white vote that would be helpful to be boosted a little bit as well, and if they can do that, i think he has a shot. they've done a very good job of organizing african-american communities across the state, and he did appeal to non-republican white voters on november 6th, so i think, you know hooer know, he's got an outside shot. this is a very hard race. this is a state that a democrat hasn't won in several decades. he's really -- i think he's run the right type of campaign. it lo

chuck. >> vaughn, thanks very much. one guarantee, arizona will be sending a woman to the united states senate. that we do know and that we can call with confidence. vaughn hillyard, thanks very much. let's turn to st. louis, missouri, where our own morgan radford is there. democratic senator claire mccaskill is in danger of losing this senate seat. the attorney general, josh hawley had actually agreed to be our guest but cancelled late yesterday afternoon citing his campaign schedule. and, morgan, don't think that it was lost on us that a couple of polls over the last couple of days have suddenly shown a consistent hawley lead suddenly shrinking to a tie. what's going on in this race? >> reporter: chuck, that's why he's doubling down. he's decided to fire up his base and really focus on telling voters that control of the senate could come down to missouri, because every single poll shows him locked in a dead heat with incumbent senator claire mccaskill. interestingly, mccaskill is in the fight of her political life bec

jillian: jessica vaughn, thank you for your time and insight, we appreciate it. >> thank you.on taking a swipe at president trump in front of other world leaders. >> it's the exact opposite of nationalism. nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. rob: all right, graham allen served our country, the 11-year army veteran joins us live next, he says emmanuel macron has it all wrong. jillian: first let's check in with steve doocy. good morning. >> bonjour. [laughter] steve: coming up on "fox & friends", did you hear something is going on in florida? we are not talking about the weather although there are hurricane warning at the election supervisor offices in palm beach and broward county, what is going on exactly is it all open and above board, we will talk to a whole bunch of people about just that, andy mccarthy will be joining us, governor rick scott has so far sued all sorts of people three times to make sure that every vote is counted. newt gringrich will talk about the news to have day and now that the democrats have gotten the gavel and house of representatives they will h

it's why nbc's vaughn hillyard is in jackson, mississippi, outside a walmart there.om folks on the ground? >> reporter: the question is is mississippi looking at a similar outcome to what republicans ultimately went through back in 2017, that special election versus doug jones and roy moore. over the last 24 hours from talking to folks on the ground here hallie, as well as making phone calls to a lot of particular republican voters that i met over the course of the year here covering this race in mississippi, i don't think at this point we are seeing that ground swell of republicans that are leaving the campaign of cindy hyde-smith behind. the question is over the next seven days as more companies like walmart pull out, there's 85 stores here across the state, and we are talking to voters. the attention is on those old video clips here of hide smith from those last few weeks that are controversial, and when we've been talking to particular those republican voters, a lot of them are telling us it was offputting. it has not put the state in the right light. at the same

steve patterson is in las vegas and vaughn hilliard is in phoenix, arizona.how is it playing on the ground there in phoenix? >> reporter: good afternoon, david. the arizona state football game is going to be starting here in a couple hours. it's actually my alma mater. but more importantly, martha mcsally is going to be singing the national anthem. and democrat sinema will be doing the coin toss. just two years ago, donald trump won here by just 3 percentage point. the question is has democrat sinema, who has taken the john mccain approach to politics here, is that better than mcsally, who has campaigned with president trump and don jr. was here yesterday. sinema was pulling in about 20% advantage with independence, talking about immigration specifically. they said this is a place here in arizona, a place of immigrants. most people here know of individuals that have either from another country or are just one generation arizonan. so suddenly when you're looking at immigration here in arizona, while it may turn out in parts of the state high support for the pr

o >> tammy: hillary vaughn joins us now. great job. on in the world and elections and everything, this kind of stuff continues more under the radar. when it comes to the banks, they have historically used sometimes their power to affect really to implement discriminatory policies when it comes to lending. the government has stepped in to stop that kind of dynamic, and yet now there are even republicans suggesting that it's the free market that is causing this. with your investigation, do you agree that this is a normal free market event that's's occurring? >> what i can tell is you that congress is weigh ago crack down on companies going beyond what they see to be somewhat constitutional rights or beyond the scope of federal law. when you see these companiesrpe making their own policy that runs counter to federal law, that's probably going to get them in a little bit of trouble. f we are seeing congress take up that issue. but, what's interesting is that you have to look at what is driving this. this there was a study done by global st

hillary vaughn is in mace so, arizona. ed lawrence in virginia with one of match-ups could give us indication how tonight is going. we begin with ashley webster down on the floor of the new york stock exchange. >> hi, connell, melissa. somewhat of a quiet day here on the stock exchange. what we have seen, a lot more buying than selling. the dow up 174. the s&p and nasdaq moving higher. investors like everyone else in the country, around the world, wanting to see what the makeup of congress will be like after today's election of the let me begin with taking a look at the stock of apple, if we can. apple has been hit pretty hard. in fact the stock has been down 8% since last thursday's earnings. the disappointed, concerns about production of iphone xr product lines, there are concerns, you name it about apple. managing to turn it around. down 8 1/3% since last thursday. today apple's stock up about 1%. believe the concerns over the iphone and sales going into the holiday season may be a little overblown but as we wait for th

vaughn hillyard, call your mom with that. with me, white house reporter jonathan lemere, nbc news contributor dave wasserman. and in washington, correspondent for pbs news hour contributor yamiche alsindor. thank you for being here to kick off what's going to be an historic week. dave wasserman, you live and breathe specifically races in the house of representatives which is going to be our big story on tuesday night. whether or not democrats will take control. and if so, how wide that is margin going to be? and my first question for you is, make us a little smarter. what are you looking for right now that perhaps we've missed in all of this? >> i think fundamentally a couple things have happened in the last month or so. we've seen the enthusiasm gap narrow for democrats as republicans have come home. surprise, it turns out that these cultural touchstones like the migrant caravan and the kavanaugh fight are better suited for motivating the trump base than tax cuts, which fell flat in a lot of the special elections earlier thi

road warrior vaughn hillyard has made his way to mississippi.art of the cattle country, that is octoc, mississippi. the special election in the wake of the retirement of cochran, what can we expect? any candidate expected to reach that 50% threshold to avoid a runoff, and what are you standing on? >> reporter: good afternoon, chris. we're standing on a bale of hay here in mississippi. a lot of mississippi is very rural-based. a lot of it is very agricultural based. that's what led us to this cattle operation. i'm going to introduce to you in a moment, david magee. he says he's going to be voting for chris mcdaniel who is that kind of insurgent republican. he calls himself the constitutional incumbent cindy hyde-smith who was just appointed to her position back in the spring. and then there's the democrat, mike espy who was the former agriculture secretary under bill clinton and former democratic congressman. wi only the top two on tuesday are going to make it out of it and they will go head to head in a runoff. mcdaniel voters like david magee h

vaughn hillyard just back from arizona. and it seemed as if jeff flake's senate seat was going to remain republican. the president sounding dubious of the senate vote there as well. this is president trump last hour. >> now in arizona all of a sudden out of the wilderness they find a lot of votes, and she's -- the other candidate is just winning by a hair. >> what's happening in arizona? >> well, the president doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to arizona elections right now. they didn't find ballots in arizona. these ballots are well-documented. we know where they are. these are early ballots we're talking about. there's essentially two buckets being counted right now, bucket a, early ballots that were turned in friday through monday. these were expected to go in sinema's favor. high democratic turnout. those were the ballots announced last night. more of those ballots are tonight. we expect her to expand that lead beyond the 9,000. then there will be bucket b, it will be interesting to see what he says abo

and vaughn hillyard in arizona.arrett, starting with you, a lot of people think of texas as pretty red. how did this get to be such a competitive race, and which way do you see it heading this weekend? >> reporter: that's a great question, ari. look, this is a race where you've had the o'rourke candidacy which a lot of people wrote off early which has raised a ton of money, gotten a lot of tension. i'm with ted cruz today in victoria, texas, very conservative part of the state. and cruz is running on essentially a two-part strategy here. he is trying to hug president trump, make the point of what they've been able to accomplish in two years of a republican majority, talks a lot about the tax cut, a lot about rolling back regulations. then it's about disqualifying beto o'rourke and trying to paint him as too liberal for the state of texas. i've bounced back and forth between tehese two campaigns an two candidates and they're talking to almost entirely different e electric trots here. one of the thing that cruz says o

angle viewers will be watching from recordings are made in so-called value metric video studios like vaughn you can get the bubbles bad film park near berlin in the divine and with good food the actors come in and off filmed and each detail is automatically recorded without any further steps needed every wrinkle in my movements in my expressions in my gestures it captures my every movement if you. want. this volumetric studio was four meters high and equipped with thirty do i take cameras making it able to film actors from all angles simultaneously then special software creates a three d. holograms of the characters that can be inserted into any scene. terabytes them and that means we're recording an extremely large and complex data set because if you were to copy that onto ordinary c.d.'s it would take about three thousand altogether i told. movie makers like canadians define rich we are now exploring the new possibilities this technology offers but it's not enough to know how to use it producers need to create a new method of storytelling. and i do you do with the world when people can wa

hillary vaughn is at roosevelt mall in new york with the latest.r: this mall is just opening its doors really for the second time for black friday. they were open on thanksgiving day into the night, until 2:00 a.m. and now they're opening up for a second round of black friday shopping for those black friday p shoppers that didn't want to wait overnight and are getting up for the daytime deals. we're seeing people carrying bags and it's really people are getting busy. they're cashing in on deals. they're having a great time. one thing that the roosevelt field mall is doing that's interesting is they're opening up temporary space to e-retailers. there has been a lot of foot traffic in the stores and they decided to lease space here. for argument about brick and mortar, that no one is going into the sores, we've seen a lot of millennial shoppers. i asked why they came here today instead of hopping on the phone to shop. they say they want to he see the the products, they want to see the good deals and they're here because of the tech. >> i've seen a lo

here now is the director of policy studies at the center for immigration studies, jessica vaughn.hank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. >> good morning. heather: let's begin here. i would like to get your response to secretary nielsen's statement here. she said we can pull this up, the overwhelming majority of these individuals are not eligible for asylum in the united states under our laws, 90% are not eligible at this point. we have confirmed that there are over 600 convicted criminals traveling with the caravan flow. does any of that surprise you? >> no, not at all. it's very consistent with what we've seen for years now at the border with people coming from central america. sometimes using smug letters, other times coming in caravans. proponents of open borders and a lot of democrats will say that this is a humanitarian crisis but we know that most of these people themselves, while they ask for asylum to get into the country, it turns out that they are really just coming here as oopport usts. in the past several years, of the central american migrants that c

lauren: hillary vaughn joins us with that. how is zuckerberg responding here?good morning, lauren and gerri, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg says it's unfair after his company is being treated after they struggled russian activity and timely manner. >> i said before that we were too slow to stop russian interference and slow to get on top of it. we stumbled along the way but to suggest that we weren't interested in knowing the truth or we we wanted to hide what we knew or try to prevent investigations is simplien -- simply untrue. >> tried to hide and down play the scoab of russian interference problem from anyone. shares of facebook down a percentage point. .6% this year. lauren: okay, i got they got hit more than that. how is apple moving to the movie business. >> tech giant is partnering with movie studio a23, expanding on original content, investment that began with original tv shows, the new york-based studio will produce multiple films for apple, apple planned to invest more than $1 billion if original content in the past year and so far apple shares are up.

connell: hillary vaughn on the story tonight. president trump wrapping up a rally a short time ago in florida, continuing his campaign blitz ahead of the midterms. is it enough to prevent the blue wave? we'll take a look at brand new polls out from fox and very tight race. more? he has asked for... what? well he did say please (all boys): thank you, thank you, thank you. . connell: here we are, six days until the midterms, president trump kicked off this 11-rally blitz. he was in the state of florida earlier this evening. earlier today i spoke to the republican gubernatorial candidate in that state, ron desantis and talked to him whether he thinks the president's trip to his state will help him out. here he is. >> i think it's mostly about are we able to turn out. probably there, is certainly hundreds of thousands, i would say there is a million people who voted for the president in 2016 in florida who don't necessarily vote in midterm elections. connell: we have brand new fox polling tonight, interesting in key senate races. dea

>> shepard: hillary vaughn reporting live from lax. fox urgent. a live look at the dow.e, look at this. we're in the green. stocks trying to bounce back after wiping out off of 2018's gains ending yesterday. yesterday's session alone, the dow closed down 550 points. too up about 105. the susan li is here. what is driving today? >> today is a bit of recovery. not a lot of volume. 30% down from the average. investors and traders have closed up their books for the thanksgiving holiday. so the gains might be exaggerated. i can tell you the first two days of the week were ugly. ugly for the markets and your 401(k)s. $810 billion wiped off. we talk about higher interest rates to come, slowing global growth. corporate earnings have been stellar in 2018. hard to compare in 2019. i'd say it's a gut check. that's what i'm hearing from investors. this is just a correction in a bull market run that they expect to continue. >> shepard: i'm writing that down. correction in a bull market run. >> it's on record. >> shepard: you know what happens. >> eventually ends? >> shepard: we know

vaug vaughn, you heard from republicans and those who are flipping. what is the mood overall? has long been a republican state and the question is how many individuals will the democrat kirsten sinema be able to bring over? it's split in the state, about a third republican, a third democrat, a third independent and martha mcsally needs to hold on and amp up that republican support here. we were at an event where she had about 200 folks here and what she's been looking to do with t and what the republican party has been trying to do is take down kirsten sinema. they've put millions on the television eairwaves in order t hammer home the message that kirsten sinema is a liberal instead of the blue dog democrat she's been known to become in congress, one important note is the green party candidate in the state dropped out and nbc news polling had the spread between sinema and mcsally at a six point advantage for sinema without the green party candidate in the mix. with the green party candidate in the mix it was just three points. the question is, will the message get out to indiv

>> our thanks to vaughn hillyard. president is rallying sport sporters -- supporters in tupelo. i want to replay what she said. "if this were a public hanging, i'd be on the front row." >> she issued this apology. >> by anyone offended by my comments, i apologize. there was no ill will, no ill intent whatsoever in my statements. i also recognize that this comment was twisted and turned into a weapon to be used against me, a political weapon. >> how is her apology resonating? >> it wasn't an apology. she's reading a statement. when you're apologizing, you don't need to read the statement. she knows mississippi's history very, very well and she knows the kind of imagery that brings up, particularly when she's running against an african-american like espy. look, chances are she's going to be elected because that's just the way mississippi is, putting republicans -- electing republicans statewide. we haven't had a senators as soon as 1988 or '89 when they would have retired. the midterms ended last week and people haven't

what are voters telling you, vaughn, besides the fact that they're going to vote for a woman? >> reporter: that's the only hospitalizati option in this race, stephanie. it's martha mcsally running against kyrsten sinema. when you look at the numbers in this state, there's 1.3 million republicans, 1.1 million democratss, and then there's 1.2 million independents. over the last 24 hours we've been talking to voters here, outside the arizona state university football game. it was interesting, republicans and independents, a great number of them are telling us that they intend to vote for the democrat, kyrsten sinema. i'm going to introduce you to two of them. the first you'll here from, susan, is a republican and the second, dennis, is an independent. who did you vote for? >> sinema. >> reporter: why? >> i believe in the democrat party's agenda much more than the republicans. the republican party is not the same as it used to be. >> reporter: you considered yourself republican, consider yourself independent now. how did that happen? why is that the case? >> the republicans have l

thank you so much, vaughn. appreciate that. also joining me is derek johnson, president and ceo of the naacp. i wonder if you're getting reports from various polling places. what are you hearing? can mike espy turn out enough of the vote to score what would be a huge upset? >> well, i'm noticing a large turnout of african-americans. in fact, in my home county on saturday, people waited in line to vote early, up to three hours. at my polling place, the parking lot is full. there's a lot of enthusiasm in the african-american not only for this race, but there are several judicial races taking place. unfortunately in mississippi, we've suffered far too long from racialized voting. i hope white mississippians are ready to cut through the rhetoric of the past and look towards the future. >> "the washington post" put it this way, the mississippi republican party sent out a mailer urging supporters to go to the polls, but it has trump's image on it and quotes on both sides. never once does this mailer mention hyde-smith's name or who v

vaughn, what's the latest on the race there?hat are folks saying about the chances that espy could pull this out on tuesday. you caught up with senator hyde-smith? >> good evening. i'll be frank. it's been a tough race to cover over the last week. particularly around these comments, around the conversation of race. about one-third of the electorate here in mississippi, kasie is african-american. and the question is how many republican voters are ultimately going to vote for mike espy in this race and having conversations with folks here around the state over the last several days, a lot of the republicans we talked to say that she did apologize in that debate and that the issue is ultimately that she stands for being pro-gun, pro-life. those issues are going to lead them to the polls to vote for hyde-smith. there's been a lot of concern. republicans we've talked to and african-american voters, democratic voters here that say they wanted more of an explanation for cindy hyde-smith. to be frank, we've tried, kasie. she hasn't been

as we see pictures come in there, hillary vaughn in the west coast newsroom with some details on this reporter: connell, it is remarkable there is no major damage actually reported as a result of a major earthquake, a 7.0 earthquake hitting seven miles outside of anchorrage in alaska. the director of fema is on the way to assess the situation. this really caused a ripple effect throughout the city. you saw pictures of roads erupting, the either below exploding through the asphalt. buildings, bridges, traffic lights, street signs all swaying. the president has been briefed on the situation and is monitoring it. it has caused a slowdown though. alaska airlines, the state's largest carrier, has a pause on service in a ground stop. we heard from senator lisa murkowski who said the damage from infrastructure will still be tallied up. so far no horrible news on that front. she is concerned about power outages in the dead of winter happening in alaska. >> early reports are very concerning in terms of damage to infrastructure. the roads, the concern about power being out. it is cold at home r

vaughn hilliard has been following this race for us.ville, mississippi, with the latest. i want to talk to you about race as an issue. we were talking yesterday about health care yet. to what degree is race supplanting those issues as they head to the ballot box on tuesday? >> it is those tapes of cindy hyde-smith in the conversation of race that are the first topics that they bring up. so while issues are ultimately as important to them as we were talking about yesterday, the conversations around cindy hyde-smith's conversations about sitting in the front row for a public hanging and in the aftermath after the following weeks where you call it a quasi apology or those that were offended, as one person said, when you apologize to somebody, you look them in the eye. you find some reparations to make up for them. in that case, i should note that today is the first time we'll have a chance to follow up with cindy hyde-smith. she will be in the northern part of the state. she has not been publicly accessible for more than a week. >> in miss
