12:00 am
white supremacist if they drink milk and deny kid the nutrients they need or msnbc, quote, historian trying to say that these attempted bombings that killed no one are worse than the assassination of lincoln, time to get smart. "kennedy" is next. kennedy: great, thanks, trish, breaking news now on the story gripping the nation as you've been hearing all night. sources telling fox news that investigators are focusing on florida as the possible source of ten pipe bombs sent to prominent democrats. and cnn. so 11 prominent democrats. so far, we do not yet have a suspect, earlier today the feds announced they intercepted three more suspicious packages in the mail. one at the new york city office of legendary actor and trump critic robert de niro, two others sent to form vice president and potentially future presidential candidate joe biden.
12:01 am
authorities found one at a mail-sorting facility in wilmington, delaware, the other in newcastle. and as you know this started monday when a bomb turned up at the home of progressive billionaire george soros, then the secret service found one at hillary clinton's house. another addressed to form president obama. investigators also found one sent to former attorney general eric holder, former cia director john brennan and two sent to maxine waters. experts say the devices are, in fact, crude. none have detonated. this is a photo of one that forced the evacuation of cnn headquarters here in the big apple. some 12 blocks away from here. today attorney general jeff sessions said the full might of the fbi is on the case. >> this department is responding to the suspicious packages that have been sent to several political leaders, and a media outlet in the last few days. yesterday, i spoke with fbi director chris wray and deputy
12:02 am
director dave bowdich and met with and briefed the president to bring him up to date. kennedy: he's still attorney general. fox news is also reporting that the devices could contain a treasure trove of clues. everything from dna to fingerprints to fibers from the suspect or suspects' home. or clothes. the question now were the devices intended to explode or send a message? former nypd analyst and cia analyst buck sexton is here, welcome back. >> good to see you, kennedy. kennedy: talk about the devices themselves. based on what you've read, what you've heard and what you've seen, what are your first instincts and reactions? >> well, it's obviously really significant that none of the bombs have gone off, for two reasons. one is that it does -- kennedy: is that intentional or incompetence? >> based on the number of bombs we're talking about here, i don't know yet, and because they've been very withholding
12:03 am
on the information up to this point. not free and sharing information. there's good reason for that, i'll get to that in a second. assuming these were bombs that were essentially incapable of actually detonating that, then goes perhaps to motive in some way, it's in the early stage for that. more importantly for the investigation right now is you do have the treasure trove of possible, i mean, it is all evidence, but breaks in this case. major clues, you mentioned a number of people, people think of fingerprints, that looks cool in tv shows or black lights and things left behind, hair and other stuff, but dna is very easy to get left behind, and unless this person was building bombs in a special chamber with very specific precautions in place, very likely they would leave behind some dna in this whole process. kennedy: let me ask you that, because how is dna useful if you have not been swabbed and dna sample entered into some sort of a database? >> well, obviously, you check it against any database first
12:04 am
to see if this is a known perpetrator. it's useful in that if you get it down to a small number of suspects, you could of course, then, whittle down list of suspects and get dna samples to test and see who the guilty party is. but in terms of why they've been able to narrow this down to the state of interest, which i would note, yes, it's better than all 50 states or international realm being in play here, largely because of the surveillance and geotracking that they've been doing here with where the packages ended up and where they started off. so everyone should think of this as a corden that keeps getting smaller and smaller around the suspects. i do think they're making progress. kennedy, i believe they have a lot more clues from them than they're letting us know. kennedy: based on the picture, so many experts have weighed in. i was reading one expert talk about the electrical tape and that may be an amateur move because electrical tape, as you were talking about, the types
12:05 am
of materials that might be on there, you're not just talking about fingerprints and fibers, but think about the fiber you can get wadded up in the tape. i want to go back to something you said earlier, that is the lack of detonation and how somehow, to you, that speaks to motive. explain. >> well, if this was -- now you get into we're trying to assess motive for somebody when we don't have a suspect list and have no profile to work off of, but it shows that you this was -- assuming these were not meant to or incapable of going off, which is possible here, they're meant to essentially look scary. when you see the fake isis flag that was two naked ladies on it, you know what i'm talking about it. the only photo we've seen was a faux isis flag, that was meant to be found. that's not something you put on a device that you thought was going blow up into a million little pieces. and so i think if you're trying
12:06 am
to get an early sense what the person is trying to do, they are more interested in what we have now, which is paralysis, fear, and a sense of political divide becoming insurmountable and so nasty that people talk about a cold civil war in this country, instead of a specific targeted assassination effort against a whole bunch of different people. that's a divergence and the motive. then you get into, well, why would somebody want to do that? why would they want to right now before the election, enhance that climate of fear. we know the theories out there. i've tried to refrain from getting too deep into them. we simply don't know, we are going blind on this other than the devices and law enforcement being able to track down at least the state where they think these things originated. kennedy: so with all of the clues that this person or that these people have left, how quickly do you think that we'll find out who this is? >> my concern is that this is going to take quite a few days,
12:07 am
and it might go beyond the midterm election, and that means that people, perhaps will have this influence, the way they view politics in this country. i certainly hope that is not the case. by the way, we've seen similar things overseas. the bombings of the trains which obviously resulted in mass casualties, in madrid before an election, that changed that national election. there is precedent here for this kind of activity. kennedy: doesn't that also put pressure on law enforcement, on fbi, and nypd and local law enforcement throughout these jurisdictions to get it done as quickly as possible? >> yeah, well, you have obviously secret service, nypd is involved in this one. fbi is leading the charge. atf is involved and you have all the different agencies, that means the man power to go through the forensic analysis of all these ten devices so far they're looking at, ten suspicious packages, but unless the bad guy made a mistake, which remember in the austin bombing, that's what happened. going to the fedex was a big
12:08 am
break. >> the unabomber, one key on the typewriter. >> when they make a mistake, that's when you get the break and able to track them down, and we'll have to see. we'll have to see if that happens, because if we're just going to rely on, dna, forensic analysis, that takes time. i do believe, i have full confidence we're going to get this guy, basically always a guy. kennedy: it's a fascinating process as well when we finally learn how they put the pieces together. but seeing that reverse engineering will be quite a spectacle. thank you for take the time, buck sexton. >> thank you, kennedy. kennedy: we still don't know who the mail bomber, is but an absence of facts will not stop some in the media from playing the blame game. the white house is pushing back that president trump's rhetoric inspired the attempted bombings. watch. >> the media has a role to play in this process. when at 90% of the coverage of this president is negative despite the historic successes. when the ideas are perpetuated
12:09 am
and continued of negativity. that is not helpful for the american discourse, and certainly the president is calling on everyone to come together, and if you have a problem with one another, let's voice that but do so peacefully and let's do that at the ballot box. kennedy: the media isn't the only one pointing fingers. president trump weighed in with his own theory tweeting -- . kennedy: you know, there was a time when something this dire would cause both sides to circle the wagons, but now they're just running in circles. so if this is the new normal, where the hell do we go from here? the hill's media reporter joe concha is here. welcome back to the show. >> good to see you, kennedy. kennedy: it's exhausting, first you saw the tweet from philip
12:10 am
ryans or however you say his name and the president lumping in with the same heated adjectives after he was calling for calm and a measured response and for people to be civil and come together. from your perspective, where are we? >> we're at a place where everybody is talking past each other and no one is listening, which is basically every day for the past ten years, right? we were never been polarized this badly since probably the 60s and you can go back to the civil war, i've heard historians say. from a media perspective, i'll stay in my lane on this one, i felt horrible for the folks over the cnn. i got friends over there. to be in a building like that and you are a production assistant, cameraman and a bomb may go off in your building? my god, that is horrible. the way they've handled this story, kennedy, there are two chyrons, the graphics below us right now, the lower thirds in the industry, let me read to you. one was trump has no plans to
12:11 am
bear any responsibility for inciting serial bomber. that assumes a lot, doesn't it? in other words, this bomber had to be incited by trump's rhetoric or never would have done. this you are assuming, a, you know the motive of the bomber, and sounds like gabby giffords, everybody thought the shooter, jared loughner. kennedy: was incited by sarah palin. it's interesting because when steve scalise was almost assassinated, and that shooter took aim at several republicans, guy benson retweeted something yesterday that he had written calling for people not to blame bernie sanders, because bernie sanders had nothing to do with the mentally ill personal who went on a murderous rampage and tried to take as many lives as he possibly could, and i think we should reserve judgment here until we know what happened. i mean, certainly like everyone is poised in this moment to say
12:12 am
my god, something is so amiss here that we have really lost focus of what it means to passionately have a political discussion and move forward, and i'm not saying that political blame is as bad as someone trying to assassinate former presidents with pipe bombs, but certainly doesn't help neutralize the situation. >> no, it does not. and look, the "new york times" on monday, just one day before the first bomb was sent to george soros, landed in his mailbox. they did a story where they interviewed five fictional writers, i don't know if you saw this, talking about how those fictional writers saw the trump presidency ending. and one ending was a russian that comes here to assassinate the president. he points a gun at his back, the gun doesn't go off. the secret service, one agent sees this happening, hands the gun to the russian to finish the job. he says go ahead, take mine. the "new york times" is writing
12:13 am
about fantasizing about assassinating a president! so when you ask me does the media bear responsibility here, hell yes, they do! because people see that crap in the most prominent newspaper in the world, and they say what the hell is going on? to your point when you asked me that question. yeah, president trump's rhetoric is over the top. of course, it is, but the media is saying light more than he is on a daily basis, and not that people mistrust the media, they see it as hostile towards the president and it's personal. kennedy: cnn chief jeff zucker went after the president for this and sarah sanders says you chose to attack and device. >> 92% of cnn's coverage of the president is negative. and that's done by several research outfits, whether it be harvard, whether it be pew, you could go down the list. how do we get on a point you have a gdp above 4%, unemployment below 4%. you have north korea no longer lobbing bombs or missiles over
12:14 am
guam and threatening the united states, 98% of the isis caliphate destroyed. i'm not cheerleading. kennedy: i was going to say corey lewandowski is that you? >> i know, i know. the point is how do you get to 90, that bad, when have you at least half of some things in this country going well. kennedy: i mean, clearly, clearly there are people driving the editorial bus, who still are sipping on the bitterness of sour grapes when their dreams were crushed on election night in 2016. i feel real bad for you, but at some point we have to move forward. joe concha, thank you so much. >> thank you, kennedy, good to see you. kennedy: you, too, thanks. stunning new development in the murder saga of "washington post" journalist jamal khashoggi. we'll have a report plus new proof that the nation's youth are buying that socialist lie about health care. why don't they realize that free health care isn't free and going to cost them dearly? john stossel, the only one who won't lie to you. he does the math after the

12:17 am
12:18 am
. kennedy: here i am. first they said he left the saudi consulate in turkey alive, and then they said he died after a fight broke out. now, the saudis admit not only to the killing of journalist
12:19 am
jamal khashoggi, but that it was premeditated. deirdre bolton joins me with the latest. deirdre? reporter: hey, kennedy, saudi arabia's previous explanations for mr. khashoggi's death met with widespread skepticism, i think that's fair, from several western governments. president trump called it one of the worst in the history of cover-ups. this most recent version, what you just mentioned, suggesting that mr. khashoggi was killed via a planned assassination began circulating after cia director haspel visited turkey. a noirp newspaper said turkish officials shared an audio recording of the killing and other evidence with director haspel. one source says saudi arabia is attempting to revise previous public explanations before washington, d.c. received and digested evidence, via ms. haspel, that could further discredit the kingdom. there is the possibility saudi
12:20 am
arabia is using information from joint saudi investigation or solo investigation, there is, of course the possibility that saudi arabia may have gotten new information from the 18 saudis arrested in connection with mr. khashoggi's death. so far all of the kingdom's statements distance crown prince muhammad from responsibility for authorizing the killing. the revision on thursday did absolutely nothing to implicate him. the crown prince saw to project a business as usual kind of tone, he spoke at investor's conference in riyadh this week and led a meeting, a new committee cast with restructuring the kingdom's intelligence services, of course, in the wake of mr. khashoggi's killing. many current, former western officials with experience in saudi arabia find it hard to believe that such an operation was launched without his consent, kennedy. kennedy: what about american allies in the region? do we have any, and what are they adviseing? >> so sources say israel and
12:21 am
the united arab emirates are pressing the white house to stand by. prince muhammad argue that both countries can contribute to the broad white house goals for the region, including isolating iran and also selling a peace agreement with israel to the palestinians. a lot of moving parts on this, kennedy. back to you. kennedy: it is unbelievable. what a story. deirdre, thank you so much. >> sure. kennedy: socialists may not be very good at math, but turns out they're great at messaging. 69% of young americans are in favor of government-run single-payer health care. 88% are democrats favor it. the most conservative estimates put the cost of single-payer close to $40 trillion over ten years. so that would obviously raise everyone's taxes and simultaneously lower the quality of everyone's care, now is no time for pesky facts, beta o'rourke is about to ride in on a skateboard and save us. is single payer the end of the
12:22 am
blue wave? joining me fox network's john stossel. these numbers aren't surprising but kind of sad. where is the communication breakdown that people think that this kind of health care is actually free? >> because that's what they hear. it's like mommy takes care of you in europe, you get sick, you don't have to pay bills, no paperwork, it's just mommy, and i was surprised that 50% of republicans want it. it is a poll of younger people and maybe they're dumb. but -- kennedy: you want them to get off your lawn? [laughter] >> 66% support free college tuition. kennedy: yep. >> minimum wage, a federal jobs program. we got 46 and not one of them really helps anybody. there's this faith that the state can do it, and the reporting doesn't tell the full story about the downsides of
12:23 am
single payer. kennedy: no, it doesn't, and i don't think the reporting ever will because it's a sexy narrative, when you put out op-eds and glossy puff pieces on the cool candidates. republicans also do a horrible job of messaging pro-capitalism, anti-socialism, except for you and i, baby. >> but it's hard to message about health care, because our system is a mess of third parties paying. not really free market, and there are headlines in britain. new crisis, nurses on strike, doctors on strike, and people don't get care a long time. kennedy: is that like shruging? >> not yet, it's starting to happen. to meet most interesting is, most countries with single payer, they live longer and spend less, and that's true. but they live longer not because they get great health care, they get slightly worse health care. they live longer because they're not obese, they drive less and shoot each other less often. that's why americans die
12:24 am
younger. kennedy: but also benefit from the innovation from this country? >> right, but the higher prices here lead to all the device innovation. the new drugs. look, there's waste in that, but without that, in britain they created the health service the year i was born, and some of the care that people are getting are still that old. innovation happens when there's competition for money. kennedy: and when there is incentive to do better and do it first, and i don't think that that's the worst thing in the world because i have seen the innovations in the chemotherapy my mom has gotten as she's gone through various cancers, and you know this as well, and i want to see more innovation so people have fewer side effects and live longer and outlive the cancer. >> and hip replacements and knee replacements and soon head replacements. >> we'll get it after the show! i love liberty! john stossel, great to see you. coming up, america is divided as ever and big narcissists like michael

avenatti drive the wedge deeper in order to serve their own causes. i'll tell you why avenatti needs to take a long walk off a short pier. jardiance asked: when it comes to managing your type 2 diabetes, what matters to you? step up to the stage here. feeling good about that? let's see- most of you say lower a1c. but only a few of you are thinking about your heart. fact is, even though it helps to manage a1c,
12:26 am
type 2 diabetes still increases your risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event... ...and lowers a1c, with diet and exercise. let's give it another try. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take
12:27 am
and if you have any medical conditions. so-what do you think? well i'm definitely thinking differently than i was yesterday. ask your doctor about jardiance- and get to the heart of what matters.

12:29 am
. kennedy: well, with all the horrible news about pipe bombs and possible assassination attempts, it's the kind of moment, and a series of nonstop ongoing moments, that makes us ask what kind of political beast have we manufactured in this laboratory of democracy? president trump is not the mad scientist. if anything, he is the creature. but are we ready for the bride of frankenstein when this administration is done? people like michael avenatti completely miscalculated the president's success are and only reacting to his effect. avenatti sees chaos, attention and ascension and feels if he does a really bad impression of the man he's obsessed with, maybe he'll land by dumb luck in the same position.
12:30 am
he won't. because democrats hate him. avenatti rose to fame as the bigger whoer in the stormy daniels duo but the uncringing julie swetnick as character assassin in the kavanaugh chronicles. when this woman plopped a hot pile of allegations in the midst of justice kavanaugh's troubles, if was obvious if the allegations were true, his life was over. what if they're false? that's what senate judiciary chair chuck grassley is banking on by referring avenatti and swetnick to the fbi and d.o.j. for lying that the pungent pair cooked up this disgusting ruse hoping to tank brett, but it had the opposite effect, didn't it? avenatti responded to the grassley referral with this statement, this is clearly political, unfortunately for us, senator grassley isn't too smart or should i say bright. this was a major mistake on his
12:31 am
part, he cracked open the door and i'm going to drive a mac truck through it. what does that even mean? this is a guy that's going to run for president? he lost a major battle in the stormy defamation case and a different judge ruled he is another lawyer almost $5 million, that's on top of the reported 1.2 million he owes in personal tax liens to the irs! he's unethical, blustery, bad at math, irresponsible, and willing to stop at nothing to prove a point if continuing on that path to hell, destroys everyone around him. and in an era of pipe bombs, the last thing we need is another bomb thrower whose claim to fame is being attention-seeking garden variety sociopath. that's the memo. avenatti, yeah! held a press conference today. because of course, he did. and he really seems to be
12:32 am
loving the attention that this criminal referral got him. watch. >> i don't think that senator grassley and his minions thought this out very well. had they done so, they would have left well enough alone. i think it is phenomenal. they want to make this an issue. i say bring it. kennedy: what are you kirsten dunst? is avenatti being overconfident. a senior writer brooe peyton is here, along with the host of the tom shillue show and robby suave. what a glorious panel to button up our week. you have written about the troubles with this, if, in fact, the allegations are false and can you prove them false. what do you think should happen to julie swetnick and michael avenatti if that is, in fact, the case, that's serious. >> i want to be careful here, there needs to a process, and people who make errors can't be
12:33 am
automatically put in jail or something. this was very serious and people who make false allegations in a formal capacity as this was a sworn statement that swetnick made, yes, they should be held accountable or else -- you need to send a message to people that you can't make up lies. you can't do that in a civil society, and despite that, i saw planned parenthood tweeted we still believe julie swetnick. kennedy: oh! that's something! >> the activist still i think love avenatti as a character to some extent. politics rewards the very worst people, we see that time and time again. that is the worst. kennedy: that's why we're here, that's why we're talking about pipe bombs and all sorts of hysterical moments, time and time again, it's interesting because when i look back on the brett kavanaugh saga which it feels dated, considering what we're going through. >> the good old days. >> it's almost what jon tester
12:34 am
did to ronny jackson, and seems that democrats and the most ardent opponents of this administration look to that as sort of a template, and how can we take someone down? what does it take? it takes a little innuendo and gossip. >> he was the body slam guy, right? kennedy: ronny jackson was the president's doctor. he nominated him for the va, and he said i heard he was giving out goof balls on the president's plane. he can't be in charge of the va. it sucks! i'm leaving. they were hoping that kavanaugh would do the same thing. >> i think avenatti is licking his chops, he loves this thing. he would use this as an opportunity. he said today, he can't wait. he's going to bring up more things. remember when he testified before, he said we have another witness but not going to give you her name, and then that went away. so he's going to use this opportunity to keep bringing people out.
12:35 am
planned parenthood will continue tweeting out their support. he's going to get what he wants. >> save his best material for season two. kennedy: nbc news would have loved to have done a hit piece on kavanaugh and interviewed julie swetnick, and she had to walk back a bunch of her claims including statements in sworn affidavit, and when they reached out to some of the people that she said could be witnesses to this, two of them said, no, absolutely not. i have no idea what you're talking about. one said i have never heard of this person before, let alone anything that happened at some alleged partys, and the other was dead. >> yeah, absolutely. i think anyone with eyes and ears could see a lot of holes in her story, and i definitely think that we need to get to the bottom of this. what exactly is true? what isn't true? how much of this is made up? and as robby said, individuals that make false accusations along these lines need to be punished by the full extent of the law. we need to send a message it's
12:36 am
not okay to make things up. it hurts all of the rape victims, it takes resources away from law enforcement to enforce the law when it comes to the crimes. kennedy: the people who have been abused look at circus, why would i insert myself into that? why would i come forward even if it means bringing justice against a perpetrator who has ruined people's lives? >> yes, if you're into #me too, i'm speaking for myself, and a recent poll, among women in america found that 65% of americans said that they don't feel like #me too has done anything good specifically for them. women are looking at the moment we're in now, we're a year into what's supposed to be the greatest year ever for women in america, how much has #me too done to benefit us rather than divide us? kennedy: you know who is divided, george papadopoulos. he's the former trump campaign
12:37 am
foreign policy adviser convicted of lying to the fbi, sentenced to two weeks in the slammer today. he reportedly told two house committees that the russia investigation is a sham! the problem is the house is pretty much on recess. so only three congressmen there were to listen. how good of them. one of them was house freedom caucus chairman mark meadows who told reporters that the testimony was more proof there is no solid justification for the mueller probe. democratic congressman jamie raskin said i see this as a footnote to a sideshow of a wild goose chase. quack. papadopoulos told the hill his case was one of the largest cases of entrapment in history. is this just a sideshow or a giant setup? what do you make of this? >> i don't know, right? he did get caught doing the thing they caught him doing, right? so it does not prove the grand collusion narrative, we don't
12:38 am
need to draw too many conclusions from this. we haven't proven what we're attempting to do that trump had anything to do with this and it's illegal. but he did admit to lying to the fbi, i don't think he's a particularly sympathetic character and was offering a lot of new information. kennedy: what's interesting about this is at first, when papadopoulos is making public statements he was tweeting against the president, saying i got the goods, you better not mess with me, and now doing the opposite saying this whole thing is a sham, it was entrapment, and there were people trying to goad me into saying certain things, leading me and now i'm going to jail for it. >> well, i think it was entrapment, we don't know who entrapped him. the thing happened in australia, where is he? everyone keeps saying he's out of sight. why don't we have this guy? where the heck -- i want the misfit to sit down and testify because that is the shady guy, and some people think he has connections to russia. i mean, what did these guys in -- i want to know what the
12:39 am
british intelligence knew, i want to know if the russians were in touch, and maybe if papadopoulos pushes, i wish there were a mueller investigation of all the other stuff from the other side. kennedy: there's never going to be that, never a special counsel to keep the special counsel in check. >> what if i keep complaining. >> and lock her up? kennedy: hillary clinton. >> yes, this is all very confusing. we need to know what exactly happened, what did not happen, and ultimately we need the d.o.j. to stop slow walking the documents to congress which is supposed to be overseeing them. congress is supposed to look into, this hold them accountable and be able to have transparency into this. kennedy: if you want the government branches to keep each other in check, that the point the way the whole thing was crafted. thank you for being here, robby and tom and bre, together are we. coming up, president trump is take the express lane in the homestretch to the midterm.
12:40 am
ten rallies in six days all over the country. will it be enough to hold the gop congressional majority. we saved hundreds on our car insurance when we switched to geico. this is how it made me feel. it was like that feeling when you're mowing the lawn on a sunny day... ...and without even trying, you end up with one last strip that's exactly the width of your mower. when you're done, it looks so good you post a picture on social media. and it gets 127 likes. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

and now i see your face. >> good to see you. kennedy: which races have the president positively affected with the rallies? >> quite a few, and it's tangible and quantifiable. tennessee with marcia blackburn, down by five points, president comes, rallies, she's up by 14. likewise, dean heller out of nevada, he was down by 4, president rallies, he's up by 7. this trend is noticeable. see it at polling at the rnc. they told me in montana in internals, they saw it happen as well. the trump rally has quite a bit of power. kennedy: what about the tricky house races. that's what could be problematic for the president. if democrats win the house, what happens then? >> if democrats win the house, the consequences are quite dire. we know that they will try to impeach, though it's baseless, the trump agenda ends. that's why the president is strategically, obviously he doesn't have a lot of time, strategically help him decide

which races he can make the most difference in. kennedy: what are some of the races? >> yeah, so minnesota, he went to minnesota to rally, specifically for the house, and we saw minnesota's 8th district, the democrats, pulled out spending, that is going to be a pickup for republicans, should the polls turn -- should the vote turn out the way the polls are. in florida, big races down there, two congressional districts we're trying to hold onto and we're up in. i don't want to put too rosy of a picture out there. history is against us, the average house party loses 32 seats, we're up against long odds. kennedy: the polls have gone in republican favor in the last week, but you're not quite there. it still shows there is a good shot above 50% that democrats will, in fact, take back the house. if that happens, who will the president be mad at? >> i think the president will be mad at -- i don't know who he'll be mad at. he's put everything, we'll put
12:47 am
everything, it will be history if you have anything to be mad at. being that said, as you noted, we have a gap to make up, about 25 to 35 seats are in play. we can only lose 22 seats here, but as you remember, the polls were wrong in michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin because of the hidden trump voter. and i talked to a pollster, he went out in the aftermath of the 2016 election, talked to voters in michigan and in california and said 37% of trump voters, nearly a third, did not tell pollsters who they were voting for. that could be at play here as well. kennedy: we will see. makes midterms and election night that much more exciting. fox business will have the best coverage in the history of the world. thank you for being a part of best show on cable news tonight. >> i love your show, kennedy. always happy to be here. kennedy: humility is my best attribute, kayleigh, thank you so much. >> good to see you. >> amen. introducing add on advantage,
