good morning, everybody. don lemon here alongside poppy harlow and kaitlan collins. i it is friday, november 4th, just a i a few days before election day. the jobs report is out in just a few hours. >> and provocation from north korea that causes the south to scramble fighter jets. we'll take you live to south korea straight ahead. >> and when lsu and alabama predictably tangle tomorrow, there's going to be a lot on the line, including mine and don's relationship. >> just a short time from now, the october jobs report is coming out and the white house is hoping for a goldie locks number, not too big, not too small, just four days before the

mid terms. good morning to you. i hope that an irritating lawn mower is not with you this morning. >> reporter: it is actually behind me but i guess you can't hear it this morning as well. >> good morning. >> reporter: hey, so, yeah, what we're expecting this morning, typically on a normal jobs day, the white house is going to look for a jobs number that is big, that makes sense. more jobs is good news. we are not in normal times, inflation is incredibly high. what white house officials are looking for is a number somewhere between 150 to 300,000 jobs added last month and it is this sort of goldie locks number and they don't want it to be too low. they want to see jobs growth. they don't want that number to be too high because they know the economy has to cool in order for these high prices to come down and in order for the fed to stop these very aggressive rate hikes. so, yeah, we are in a world right now where the white house is sort of actively hoping for a

moderate job report. >> they're hoping it can make a difference for democrats before election day and we don't know, we don't know. >> reporter: and we are just four days out, right, and the concern to democrats would be the economic outlook is pretty baked in at this point. white house officials have been saying you look at jobs growth and quarterly economic growth and we are not in a recession, we are not even in a prerecession but that is not how voters feel. just the cnn poll that came out this week showed that 75% of americans feel like the economy is in a recession. so it almost doesn't matter, guys, what the numbers say, what the reports say, what the data show. this is what the voters are feeling right now, pretty mess mys pessimistic about the reality. that's what democrats confront regardless of what the jobs report might say at 8:30 today.

>> and mj lee fighting a lawn mower at the white house. >> you're going to do something about that. >> the social media giant is sending them a warning, check your e-mail before noon, you may be fired. within hours elon musk's company will begin mass layoffs. the cuts come a little more than a week after he took over twitter. now employees are trying to get class action status in a lawsuit in san francisco because they say they weren't given enough notice under u.s. federal law that has to warn them before they lose their jobs. >> also this morning, the track of about 180 military aircraft have been detected flip-flopping near south korea's border. will, how is south korea responding to this? >> reporter: it has been a fast

moving week. president moon is trying and failing to make peace for so many years. after north korea decided to send 180 warplanes near the border with south korea in response to operation vigilant storm, which has 240 u.s. and south korean warplanes along with thousands of troops from the u.s. and south korea engaging in military moves in response to the barrage, the south koreans assembled their own jets and a real sign of escalating tensions in this part of the world. the big question is what happens next? military drills are expected to continue until saturday. north korea vowed serious repercussions if this continues. can we expect to see the largest provocation in half a decade, which would be north korea's seventh underground nuclear test, we've been expecting it

for months. they say all kim jong un has to do is push the button and can potentially push them on the brink of a nuclear crisis. >> and the white house is watching this incredibly closely. will ripley, thank you. >> oprah winfrey making a major endorsement in a major state. she is endorsing pennsylvania's senate candidate john federman, not endorsing mehmet oz. she made him famous. >> i said it was up to the citizens of pennsylvania. if i lived in pennsylvania, i would have already cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. >> dr. oz says he loves oprah and respects the facts they have

different politics. he said, quote, we need more balance and less extremism in washington. >> it's really getting down to the wire. this is one race that is becoming more competitive than expected is the race for new york governor right here in new york state where we are. incumbent democratic governor kathy hochul with a slide lead over zelden. vice president harris, former secretary of state hillary clinton lending their support to a get out thele vote rally. the former secretary of state was on the stho yesterday speaking about this. kathy hochul joins us live. we real appreciate you joining us this morning. i've been covering and living in new york for a long time. it is surprising the race is this close. why is this race so close, governor? are you concerned?

>> well, woe're focusing on getting out the votes. when democrats turn out, we win. i took the subway over from manhattan. i think what's not being captured in the polls is there really is finally energy on ground. it doesn't manifest itself earlier. you only need to peak on election day. i do think there's anxiety out there. you talk about the economy a lot and we understand that. i think it's a combination of coming off a tough couple of years of the pandemic, people are feeling anxious about the price of everything going up, all their groceries and rent and it's a frustrating time. i want them to know the democrats have real results as opposed to the republican rhetoric and that's what our campaign is coming down to. >> i did not miss the fact that you said you took the subway over and that you're campaigning a the a subway stop and that is where we have been seeing a lot of crime, right, on the news. if you look at the issue of crime has been really front and

center for voters. here in new york city people think that crime is number one. 28%, according to a quinnipiac poll, inflation is 20%. the crime rate overall is down but there are issues when it comes to violent crimes, there are issues when it comes to murder. they're down in some places in the city, up in many places in the city and in the state as well. what are democrats not getting about crime? why are republicans winning on this whole crime issue? that has been the thing that has fueled lee zeldin's campaign. >> because they're being dishonest about it. they're not having a conversation about real solutions. we have taken 8,000 illegal guns off the streets. we made sure that no 18-year-old can get their hand on an

a.r.-15. our red flag laws are tough and there are background checks whereas lee zeldin voted again the first significant gun safety legislation in three decades in washington. he didn't even show up to help support our police officers with funding for them in washington. so they can say all they want but the facts are on the other side. we've done a lot to get guns off the street and i was just in the subway again with -- >> violent crime is up 7% in the state. it is down a point from '20 and '21 but it is up 7.8%. we look at new york city and see in the news randomly what is happening in our subways and on our streets, people are really nervous about it. i know you're saying they're being disingenuous about it but that is a real factor, governor, you can't deny that. >> i'm not denying that. i'm just saying the way the republicans' ad campaign is. if they're going to say they're tough on crime and soft on guns,

that doesn't add up and i want the voters to know that. we worked hard on getting more cops and cameras and care for people who are mentally ill and are on the subway. we bring state resources to help local law enforcement. that hasn't happened before. the governor and mayor of new york never cooperated the way we are now. it go it's going to take some time. nationwide crime is a problem. in new york city violent crime is up but we look at murders and shootings and they're down about 3%, but that's not going to give anyone any comfort. it says we still have a problem, i understand that. let's talk about real answers and not just give everybody platitudes. >> as somebody who takes my kid every day in the city, homicides are down but rapes are up, robberies are up, felony assault

is up. you talked about your opponent not having solutions. lee zeldin said he would through an executive order repeal the became reform law as it passed. you don't like that law. would you repeal it through executive order? >> again, that is such a simplistic approach. he wouldn't support funding for police. i tripled the amount of money for law enforcement. we're supporting violent disrupter programs. it shows a naivete that is not going to be a real solution. we did make targeted changes to the gun laws targeting gun changes and repeat offenders. i'm always willing to look at it again but the data is not showing that is the cause of this. there are individual cases but

compared to prepandemic and when this was passed, i don't think there's a real disparity. but that doesn't matter. we're dealing with people's feelings here. i understand that. i'm a mother. you're hard wired to care about your children and your family's safety. voters need to know that we have a plan, we're working on this and just putting up ads that say you have the answer when you really don't. when you don't think we should be getting guns off the streets, you want to give guns to every teacher, you want guns in the subways, that is irrational to think that will make people safer. what's on the line here is someone working in the trenches, rolling up her sleeves and not just running around the state saying all you have to do is repeal a bail law and all the crime will disappear. i think the people are smarter than that. >> a clarification according to cnn, there is no evidence that

bail reform is a major factor. >> i know you were on the campaign trail with hillary clinton, the vice president. women have obviously been a big constituency here that you are seeking their vote, so is lee zeldin. when you talk to them, do they prioritize abortion or the economy and crime? >> women cannot be described as monolistic group. we all have our particular issues, but overall women do feel deeply troubled that someone running for governor, lee zeldin is devoutly against their right to choose. his name is clearly on legislation that says life begins at conception, opposes abortion for rape, incest, even when a mother's life is at stake. that is his position. he wants to say nothing changed since the dobbs position in new york. that's because i'm the governor and he's not. i understand the power of the governor and there are many ways

he could subvert women's right to choose if he became governor. mothers are concerned how to pay for a tank of gas, cover the food on the table. he voted against the infrastructure act, which is bringing thousands and thousands of jobs for new york. i'm using money for that to pay for potholes in his district and he didn't even vote for it. there's a lot of areas where more work could have been done. we we're now going to have semiconductor cells in the state and lee zeldin voted against that. that is a significant difference on the minds of a lot of women. >> and women aren't monolith when they vote, thiey have

different interests. >> governor, we've got to ask you about paul pelosi and the house speaker. have you had a chance to speak out? what's your reaction to what happened? >> we have reached out. it is terrifying to think there's such a vulnerability among elected officials and their family members and every single elected official needs to call this out and condemn this violence and not to allow the spread of radical ideas that can be translated into violent acts against innocent people. what concerns me is someone like lee zeldin. yesterday he was asked if he condemns these white supremacist groups that support him and he refused to do that. if we don't have the leadership that calls this out, it's going to fester and breed out there and what happened on january 6th, someone like lee zeldin who supported the insur section, voted against the seating of

president biden as president, those are views we have to be concerned about, especially in places like new york. >> thank you, governor. thanks so much this morning. we have invited lee zeldin on the show, the invitation remains. we've done it a number of times ftimes. tune in to next tuesday's election coverage and it goes all night and into the nmorning and the next day. led you can still hear it sizzling. listen...the sizzling, the chopping, the spatulasas. i can hear it too. me too! actually, it's the... hello? cheesesteak? ...grill.

godaddy. tools and support for every small business first. former president trump is on the campaign trail. he hasn't announced he's running yet but he's pretty much saying it out loud. >> i will very, very probably do it again. very probably. get ready. that's all i'm telling you. very soon. get ready. >> reporter: joining us is cnn anchor, who is talking to chris wallace. you heard president trump there, former president trump saying get ready. how imminent do you think an announcement trump is about running in 2024? >> i think sooner rather than

later. i have to say i'm one of those people who had real doubts, kaitlan, as to whether he was going to run. there's a rule in the theater when you make your entrance, let them see you coming, show up on the stage and let them no you arrived. and donald trump is doing all of that. if republicans have a good night or even a very good night, which it appears they're going to have on tuesday night, i think he's going to want to take ownership of it and announcing let's say before thanksgiving it does two things. one, it says this republican victory, assuming it is, is mine. and, two, it helps freeze the field, makes it harder for other people to get into the race. it's interesting. you're already seeing some signs from ron desantis' camp. everybody thought he was going to take on trump this next two years. now they're saying he's 44, he can run in '28, he can run in the 2030s. so if donald trump actual lich

gets in, some of the people that have been talking a lot about getting in, i think it may keep them out. >> 2024? >> it will take one person to get in and the rest will get in. trump had been thinking about running, announcing it the day after the mid terms. >> on that point i was going to ask you what republican or republicans do you think would have the guts to run against him? >> we know liz cheney has the guts to run against him. >> who else? >> i certainly think mike pence is going to run against him. i think it's a tough, tall order because if you like donald trump and, you know, you like what the trump/pence administration did, it's awfully tough to see how pence separates himself from trump in a way that's going to appeal to the republican base. i will tell you i was on bill maher's talk show with chris christie, the former governor of new jersey and he talks about

running against trump and he's been quite snippy, quite snarky about trump. there will be republicans who get in but you just look at the polls and as somebody who saw firsthand donald trump on the debate stage in the republican primaries in 2015 and 2016, he sucks up an awful lot of oxygen. it's going to be very hard for any republican to oppose him in the republican primaries in '23 and '24. >> this is where we fwagree. i want so sure that donald trump was going to run again. i thought evidence was he not going to do it. he wants to be a kingmaker instead of king. a lot depends on what happens on tuesday night. if he does really well, he'll want to take credit for it and say his chances are good. you have to look at the lack of civility. when you look at what is happening, what the former president does, what he says on

social media, how divisive he is, are voters -- do they want that again? are they in for that ride again? >> well, you know, it's interesting because you'd like to say no. you'd like to say we're still a nation of civility and compassion and good manners but i think back to 2015 when donald trump in iowa made some jokes about john mccain and said, you know, i like war heros who haven't been caught and an awful lot of us thought that's it, he's never going to survive that. we saw he's been able to survive that and much worse. what's been so fascinating about the reaction to the horrific attack on paul pelosi is the number of other republicans who have leaned in on that and made jokes about it, whether it's carey lake or greg youngkin. it almost seems to the maga base, that kind of political

incorrectness, lack of civility and some can say meanness seems to be a plus, not a minus. i don't see any indication for a certain element of american politics that's going away any time soon. >> they don't view it as meanness, they view it as him being a fighter. >> we'll see. >> chris wallace, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for waking up with us, chris wallace. >> talking to chris wallace early in the morning. >> in moments, the last big economic report you're going to get before you cast your vote if you're voting on election day. that is coming up next. ♪ i got into debt in college and, no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere. so i consolidated it into a low-rate persononal loan from sofi. get a personal loan with no fees, lolow fixed rate, and borrow up to $100k. sofi. get your mononey right.

all right. so the october jobs report just out. we're going to gather the numbers, make sense of them, bring them to you in just a

minute. let's get some context with the whole team who is here, christine romans is here. we've been saying all morning, they want a goldilocks, they want a positive number but not too positive. >> in normal times it would be a lot of jobs created, 3.7% is unemployment rate. it went up a little bit but still near that 50-year low. so this is one of those stories, you could say maybe that is a little goldilocks. i'm going to dig in and find out where we added those jobs. >> we'll cop back to christine. she's trying to get the information right now. >> hello to you. >> hi, guys. >> it's a very political time for the country. the white house, they are a little bit nervous.

i think everyone is a little nervous. >> it's a critically time politically and economically. are we going to see the labor mark cool off? i would argue this is a sign of that. we'll have to look at the revisions we got for the last few months but to put that in perspective, we knew this was coming as the fed started raising rates in march and has continued to raise rates since then as they make borrowing more expensive. christine and i have talked about quite a bit at some point the labor would slow, we've just been waiting to see when it would happen. >> what's the federal reserve's response to this, do you think? >> i'd have to look at labor force participation but this is a slowing that the fed wants to see. it doesn't want to see job growth plummet. i would say this is a step.

>> one thing here, manufacturing jobs added there 32,000, that's interesting to see here. and rahel was talking about how it's a slow down. this is below the year's pace but this has been -- so now we're talking about 4 million jobs have been created this year in the u.s. economy. that is way more than you normally see. usually you have 2 million jobs a year. >> is this goldilocks? >> i don't know. we have so many jobs that are still open. the fed needs to see the job market cool down a little bit so it doesn't start to spin off other inflation and get other inflation intrenched. >> goldilocks is not too fast,

not too slow. >> earlier it was 150 to 200. that is off the top of my head. i believe that was the figure. are we there yet? no. are we sort of getting closer to the 400,000 that we added earlier this year, the 500,000 jobs we added earlier this year in january? yeah, we're moving in the right direction. are we exactly there? >> you know what's so interesting, all these headlines like above the fold in the papers today, amazon, they're stopping basically pausing a lot of their hiring. >> they're hiring like crazy. >> i hear you but we are listening to the ceos saying we're going to take a beat. look at the lift also. these companies are responding to something. >> you can see the cracks for sure. i was talking to an economist earlier who said it's not fair to say that there's real weakness in the job market. you have to look hard to find

the exception, which is the weakness in the job market. it's still very, very strong. looking ahead, the ceos are saying -- >> that's their job to lock ahead. >> the press secretary at the white house said right before this jobs report came out -- >> the nation could be teetering on the edge of a recession. how will the white house prepare for that? >> so i want to be clear, there are no meetings or anything happening like that in preparing for a recession. what we're seeing right now is a strong labor market and the reason we're seeing the strong labor market is because of the bold actions that this president has taken. >> does it surprise you that the white house is not preparing for a recession? >> look, something worse is happening right now, 8.2% inflation. that's what they're really worried about and they're spinning in circles to do everything they can. they don't have a lot of leverage to do for the

inflation. the people who are calling for a recession, still calling for a relatively mild and shallow recession. even larry summers says, by the way, if we get a recession, it won't be very bad and entrenched inflation is way worse than anything else. >> parsing words here, she said we're not having meetings. it doesn't mean they're not preparing. they're well aware of what the headwinds are. what i'm hearing from everyone here, all of you business experts is that coming out of covid, we don't really have the metrics to measure this new economy. >> exactly. covid broke the charts. it broke the charts so now we sit here, we're trying to figure out what it means. when i ask economists and ceos finish this sentence, the economy is x. they say confusing, chaotic, hard to read. they don't really know exactly. >> i think it was jason furman, an economist, who said recently, if you're not a little confused

about the economy, you're not paving attention. think about what the pandemic did. it created a lot more savings. people are still spending because they have a cushion. so the pandemic did really strange things, not just in terms of our economicing accounts and balance sheets but also supply chains. so there are a lot of strange things happening and they're happening all at once. >> four days to the mid terms and we are talking about the number one issue by a mile. >> and when they go to the grocery store, prices are hyper and the gas tank gets way too much attention than i think. a lot of people hybrid commuting. there's all these different reasons why you could say on paper are feeling better than they did in 2008. 75% of the people we polled say we're already in a recession. the way people feel, then that becomes real. >> i know we talked about what

the white house is and isn't preparing for. if you're at home and you're hearing the recession warnings and you can prepare, prepare. >> we heard from frank lunt where he said it's not about inflation or the jobs, it's about affordability. we have low unemployment but yet people can't find jobs. it's so odd. >> never seen anything like it. >> thank you both. >> you just heard the details from the latest jobs report. who better to talk about that than bobby play himself who employs more than 250 people in the restaurant business really hit hard by covid. he is our guest visiting barista this morning. at adp, we understand bubusiness today lookoks nothing like it did yesterday. while it's more unpredictable, its possibilities are endless.

bobby flay is going down, down, down! >> oh my god. >> we were just talking about the october jobs report, one industry that continues to face dire staffing shortages, that's restaurants. competition for workers remain intense -- remains intense. about two-thirds of restaurants say they are understaffed, according to an industry survey. then there's the soaring food prices, supply chains, log jams and so for the. joining us, a man who knows what it takes to run a restaurant, chef, entrepreneur, my friend bobby flay. his new show premieres tuesday on the food network. i can't wait for bobby flay to invite all three of us on your program. >> no problem. good to have you. >> as you're watching the jobs reports, does anything resonate with you? >> oh, yeah. the thing about restaurants,

it's an every night focus group about how people are feeling about the economy. what's happening is it's getting squeezed from every sort of corner and edge. labor's expensive, commodities meaning the cost of goods, foods, et cetera, is expensive. and occupancy costs are always expensive. the landlords doesn't look out for you. they don't take the pressure off. on the or sither side, i think consumer understand we're on the brink of some really bad economy here so people tighten their wallet. >> do you think that, we're on the bring of a bad economy? >> they say that. >> i do. i've been around long enough to see this happen before. and ultimately we're able to come out of it but you do have to hold on tight. i feel like something not good is happening. you look at all the report and i

watch the way people are acting in the restaurant. >> meaning -- >> the person last week was buying $75 bottle of wine, this week it's a $40 bottle of wine. they're making decisions that are squeezing the check hours in the restaurant. it makes it very, very difficult. on the other side of it, the proprietor is having a hard time making profits. so people that want to come back to work, they want higher salaries of course and you have to be very competitive to get good labor. >> and what does that look like? are you able to find people? i've heard this is a big issue of everyone that was left go by restaurants at the height of the pandemic, they're having difficulty hiring good people back. >> we all said and i say "we" meaning my friends in the business, where is everybody? you thought the pandemic hit and everybody would be willing to come back to work right away but that did not happen. we basically opened the doors

and wondered where everybody was. now people are starting to trickle back but, again, it's very, very competitive. >> bobby and i live out on long island. and you know that restaurant almond -- >> i love that restaurant. >> people are having to provide housing for employees because it's tough. there are incentives, you're having to pay people bonuses. >> bonuses, benefits, anything to make people feel like this is the place i want to work. and also like, you know, the problem is if somebody comes by and offers your employee an extra dollar an hour, that adds up over the week and year. you have to do things that are not just about the actual dollars themselves to make people feel like they want to stay in your restaurant. >> what can economic learn from the restaurant industry? what can you teach them? >> i can tell you one thing, the people that are going to be

paying for this is the consumers. restaurant are going to have to keep charging more money to survive so that they can actually create jobs. and also survive as a proprietor as well. it's a vicious cycle and it's unfortunate. i say we're literally a generation away of people understanding what it really costs to go eat in a restaurant and be okay with it. all of us pay or own bills. we know chicken costs $24 in our favorite restaurant. what if i told you it's going to be $38 next week? somebody who is 16 years old who is not paying their bills yet, they're going to be comfortable paying that because that's what they see and that's what they know. >> all of this is really important but we have something more important, which is when don lemon was on your show. >> that's right. >> when life gives you don lemon, you make lemonade, baby.

i watch you all the time. you have this thing where you take a moment and say we'll be right back. >> can i remind you there's someone else out there like that? >> me? >> you. >> what did don lemon cook and was it good? >> don didn't cook, he just tried to get me beat. >> i saw alex the other night at alba in the city. i try to support local restaurants. >> i'm glad don has figured out a way to go out to dinner on this schedule. >> for eight and a half years i did not really get to go out and have a proper dinner because i had a show on at 10:00. now i can go to dinner. it's expensive! >> and it's going to get more expensive, don. that's the lesson of the day. >> she held up a mirror to you

and you also held up a mirror to the people who are in charge of us, of the economy and what have you about what is to come and a what should be done about it. >> listen, we'll get through this. the bottom line is that nobody knows when and how long and how deep it going to be but, i mean, to me when i look at numbers, et cetera, that doesn't really matter to me. what matter to me is people's attitudes, that's it. >> how do they feel? >> exactly. >> we have to kick you out of a gig again. you're out of here. >> okay, i'm gone. >> congratulations to all three of you. >> rotell versus queso, it's really important. bobby flay on the food network and discovery plus. >> i have some investment in don's lsu tigers taking on

kaitlan's lsu crimson tide this weekend. who will win and which anchor will earn the bragging rights? >> that's your fight song that you're dancing -- >> that's alabamama's fight son you're dancing to. i think i already y won. can we even afford this house? maybe jacob can finally get a job. the house whisperer! this house says use realtor.com to see homes in your budget. you're staying in school, jacob! realtor.com. to each their home.

♪ so an sec showdown alabama and lsu will battle it out tomorrow in one of the biggest college football games this season. >> for the record i told don to take the sunglasses off. people in the midwest are turning off their tvs now. >> just the sunglasses. >> this is what we did at lsu to try to hide that we had been drinking for the game. >> we never drink. >> the rivalry this morning clearly is real, don was dancing to the alabama fight song earlier. obviously alabama and lsu are

playing on saturday if you did not understand why don has had an outfit change during the break. the question of course is who is going to win. i have paid our senior data reporter harry enten with this morning's number to say alabama. >> i got my -- i'm wearing my columbia lions jersey. >> is that for me? >> that is not a thing. >> that is a thing. >> guys, my college boyfriend was the quarterback. >> i left -- >> here we go. who is going to win? give us the data. >> i left my athletic days behind back in elementary school, i will just say that. all right. >> oh, i like our chances. >> kaitlan likes this. not a big surprise chance of winning saturday's matchup alabama at 69%, lsu at 31%. so, hey, don has a little bit of a shot here but kaitlan is the clear favorite. let's give you a little history on alabama versus lsu, all time alabama all time the clear leader with 55 wins, lsu with 26 wins. five ties back in the day where you could get that in college

football you can't get that anymore since, i believe, 1996. let's take a look at the chaps of winning the national title because that's of course what we are all interested in at the end of the day. you will notice ohio state 27%, georgia 22%, they are actually taking on tennessee this weekend in another big sec matchup, 11% alabama at 10% and i apologize to don but lsu has a less than 1% chance of winning the national title. it's math, don, i don't necessarily control t finally college football fandom by region poppy is from the midwest, more in the midwest than anywhere else 41%, the south at 40%. no one on this crew is from the west but neil sedaka is in the west in california and harry from the northeast 25%. i love my columbia football lions. >> thank the lord for you representing for me. i will stay out of this. >> it's not the same, though, kaitlan, is it? the sec it's --

>> doesn't -- it doesn't even compare, the sec is a different world. i don't think our biggest competitor is lsu it's our own unforced errors that alabama has had. they have not been amazing on the road yet but i think they are ready for this. we had a bye week next week. this is a signed photo of nick saban that may or may not sit in my office and zach may or may not have furiously run down to get. >> and this is by the way if you can't -- this is just lsu, this sits in my office. >> it feels like college game day where lee makes his pick and puts on the head of the mascot of whoever he picks and you should be putting on the lsu tiger head right now. >> i know i look crazy but this is actually how i dress figure to an lsu game on the rare occasion because i don't have a chance to go as much as i used to, but here is the thing, kaitlan and i were supposed to go down to death valley to baton rouge and go to the game. next week is going to be so crazy when it comes to the

midterm elections, we decide we don't need -- we had a lot this week we didn't need that on our plates and plus i did not want her being harassed and to feel bad at death valley at tailgating in a stadium when we win and she loses. >> i am a really sore loser, i will say, but i have full confidence and also when you are emotionally invested as i am it's sometimes better to watch it from your house, your neighbors don't care if you are yelling at the tv. >> around the bowl down the hole. >> are you going to take the sunglasses off to say good-bye. >> thanks, everybody. i appreciate it. "cnn newsroom" starts right after the break. have a great weekend, everyone. >> and roll tide. >> go, tigers. you get fifty dd your home deductible. it's a policy perk for being a farmers customer. (customer) do i have e to do anything? (burke) nothing. (customer) nothing? (burke) nothing. (customer) nothing? (burke) nothing. (customer) hmm, that is really something.
