they? do you were that, now the hottest thing, they are make a fortune because of me and you. it's true. i mean whoever heard of of midterms. i had a lot of people say, i don't know what midterm is, now i'm watching every minute, i'm voting. >> i have to get to one of those rallies in a fireman's hat, president claimed republicans are going to do great tomorrow. also tempering expectations watch this. >> we'll have to work a believe the differently, i don't think that will happen. i think we're doing well in the house. and i think we're doing well in senate, there is something going on, okay. i'm just telling you we all left ohioing it together.

you never saw crowds like this. kennedy: wow, what are chances of success for republicans and will democrats have a sad night or happy night. florida very high on the list two big races for senate and governor, texas, tennessee, arizona and georgia also holding races that could swing balance of power in those states. former writer for george h.w. bush bill mcgern is here. momentum and history have been on the democrat side. should republicans stay home fearing they of lose? >> well, you mean if republicans stay home. they will lose. yes. i think history point is important. we alike this is unique. most important election of our time, but historically the party that controls white house takes

a hit, president obama took 63 seat loss, i think. and president clinton lost not quite as many in 94. kennedy: i remember that. >> and healthcare. i think only one that done lose of george w. bush. that was a 9/11 exception. kennedy: no clear difference aigd between the parties we were on same side. >> for a few brief months. kennedy: very few brief months. now democrat want to turn their back on that part where they voted for border protect. you look at house versus senate, president chosen to put his weight behind senate races, i think brett kavanaugh hearings added to his advantage and his choice. people see how important it is for the party they belong to, to be in power for though supreme court nominations if nothing else.

democrats will obstruct any nominee that president puts forward. >> the senate this year, goes a little bit against history, and. i think 10 senators, and democratic incumbent up for reelection. i think that republicans look like they will pick up two seats. >> which seats? >> i think maybe claire mccaskill in missouri. kennedy: you think that heidi heitkamp is done? >> i think she is done. in my state, new jersey. pride of new jersey bob menendez. kennedy: a winner. >> a winner, latest poll shows 15 points up. kennedy: why is everyone acting like this is a close race. i know there are a lot of wishful thinking driving republican narrative out of new jersey. >> not me, we're the dumb estate in the union -- dumbest state in

the union if you look at our representatives, i think that menendez will be reelected. >> i could talk about senate races all day, as an independent i don't care either way, i'll never be happy. >> indiana joe donnelly. kennedy: my next question, joe donnelly could lose to race. but indiana is such a curios state, mike pence pulled out of governor race to run as vice president with donald trump, that was a big profitable gamble for him. but joe donnelly, the democrat having to run as a trump republican. >> he is talking about border, i think boasted he voted with donald trump 62% of the time. if he lose its may be brett

kavanaugh vote, he voted against brett kavanaugh for supreme court. but, clearly president thinks that it is doable. >> what do you think? >> i think he has a chance, they have braun up 3 and. they have been all over the place. kennedy: what is last minute driver with some of the poll shifts that we've seen in places like indiana and tennessee? >> i don't know, what the drive -- i think that real key will be. kennedy: is that me. >> who gets out independents. kennedy: how weird. >> who knows what drives. a jump ball in their reelection. kennedy: what is that so excited jump ball, street ball, you don't know who will prevail, that is why this midterm, if you have a dog in this fight, god bless you, have you a lot of heart burn. i was talking with a good friend of mine a democrat, she h had a

shard treatment sleep -- a hard time sleeping, she is worried, what happens if they lose. kennedy: >> they bet the ranch on everything, on anti-trump feeling. kennedy: i don't know how they shift strategy, i am glad we learned with mcgurn . >> thank you very much. kennedy: house and senate are not only elect to watch tomorrow, republicans playing defense with governor races. and there is a lot more than just policy on-line, fox business network gerri willis with lowdown on some races to watch. reporter: hello, great to see i, governor race. they are in focus for redistricting, redrawing congressional maps after within 20 --2020 census, governor in many states have veto power over those maps.

and republicans hold 33 governorships, let's look at 4 content shoes races. florida. ron desantis with andrew gillum in a bruising fight, that turned on race. desantis accused gillum of corruption, an fbi investigation, has roped in gillum pals, they are miles apart on issue, gillum a progressive, advocating medicare for all and higher corporate taxes, and desantis a trump conservative. >> number two georgia, hard to miss this race, attracted oprah and john legend campaigning for stacey abrams, who aims to be first black women governor, she facing secretary of state brian kemp. voting right is a bigis issue

here. associated press found 70% of 53 thousand newly suspended registrations were for black georgians, a federal judge called for an adjustment in voting require am. >> in wisconsin, scott walker seeking third term of governor, he cut taxes, ib know suited a true -- insteu instituted a tuin freeze. finally ohio, up in air with former consumer financial protect bureau president richard cord ray, accusing -- >> republicans in ohio held governor seat for 24 of last 28 years. this could be a lot of history, kennedy. kennedy: you know, you are

justing to the drama. these are more races that we have to watch. tomorrow night, it will be a late one, start brewing that coffee now. >> thank you. kennedy: president trump is betting big on immigration, in his closing argument to voters some fear it is a losing proposition. >> democrats are inviting caravan after caravan of illlegal aliens to pour into our country overwhelming the schools, your hospitals and your communities. if you want more caravans, if you want more crime, vote democrat tomorrow. kennedy: there you go, many republicans initially welcome president's tough talk to mig migrant caravan because it fired up the base, some are concerned he may have gone overboard, now

it could backfire. joining us now. steve hilton, author of positive populism. immigration is a tricky issue. a big one from president, what is he doing, is it right? >> i think he is. it is not just a big issue here in -- i it is one of the big itt issues of our time. kennedy: a big drive are behind brexit as well. >> it is huge, it is right it center piece of an election, an economic issue as well, all study show, that when you have high skilled educated, immigrants who come to america or any other country, they do make a net positive contribute puig to the economy that is important point, i have pro immigration, that is good.

american clearly built on that. kennedy: also critically important low skilled worker. >> that is right. kennedy: who work their tails off, do whoever they can for the businesses who take them in to help their family, that is not everyone. >> i agree, all of this conversation is not to be critical of the individuals who are. everyone wants a better life. kennedy: we have a bad immigration system. >> it is a disasterrous system. kennedy: can the president win on that, he could beat up congress, saying our laws are confusing and make an economic argument for reforming the immigration sim and tougher onboarder security -- on the border security. >> the paul ryan intervention is blame shifting, saying if you promoted my tax bill there bad would that paul ryan is expecting, would not have happened. i would not take it ea seriousl.

i think this terps of immigration not just economic or focus on how it affects people already here, those are important, but also to heart of good governance. like law and order to me. people feel government to protect border and threats any of kind. that undermine's people confidence in government, this is a central issue, i think it is one of those issues that because of demon eyizatioizatioe left. kennedy: they have not framed it correctly either. what is the function of government, we ask that over and over. , as democrats whether some governor race or bigger statewide or national race, they

talk about laundry list of things they want to do, every time, they talk about creating jobs and regulating business, i say to myself that does not fall in the purview. >> right, you can argue how big caravan is, how long it will take, but you will have many hundreds, even just one person trying to get across border illegally and going around the process, what is democrat actual answer to that problem. so far their response is don't be mean. being polite is not a policy. kennedy: it is not. but they are not bold enough to craft immigration policy, which if there are split chambers they have to do that with president, if they think they are spending two years resisting, i think 2020 will be sad for them. >> it will be tough, that will be big tension is that. that desire to show results. but, overwhelming --

>> but not give the president any credit. credit. kennedy: stop worrying about that nonsense and politicking worry about people in your district who want to feed their families. >> if only they were as sensible as you and i. kennedy: we should be author terayon emperors. >> that is great. kennedy: thank you steve hilton. >> thank you. kennedy: tomorrow night, fbn special coverage of midterms elect beginning 7 p.m. eastern, i will join neil cavuto and his flatta political panel. coming up next, immigration has been getting a lot of play. will republicans regret keeping their greatest weapon the economy on the bench? i'll have "the mooch" next.

reporting that house speaker called president sunday urged him in scrap immigration talk and highlight his massive economic achievements instead, i am sure that worked out. president responded with a tweet, republicans created best economy in history of country, hottest job market planet, democrat agenda is a socialist nightmare, and republican agenda is american dream. and he penned an op-ed for fox news. talked up the tax cuts. in rally today president trump and former president obama sparred over who is responsible for the economic boom. swing the sausage boys. >> republicans created best economy in history of our country, hot of the jobs market -- well, look you look. take a look what happened. this is hottest place economically in the world right

now. >> you hear the republicans looking about how good the economy is. where do you think that started? kennedy: good lord, lock it up. whose economy is it? a tho author of trump blue collr president, anthony scare "mooch"y. andrew is joining us too. first anthony with you, a lot frustrated saying that president has a great economy, that is what he should be talking about and selling, why such a giant pivot toward immigration. >> his instinct are that compliecomplacent voters don't t and vote. trigger pulse of immigration and

other fear factors. kennedy: he knows what he is doing. is there a way to do -- >> narrow casting to his base. signaling this a reveren ref um- referendum on him, get out and vote. kennedy: has president abandon the house. >> well, he is acting more setter toial -- senatorial. kennedy: why? >> because he knows if he keeps senate and loses house he can declare victory possibly start cutting deals with democrat on infrastructure and immigration, and set himself up for 2020 reelection, they are positive. if he the lowse loses house he consistent with history of other presidents. 2002, 2020, 1994, most presidents lose midterms. kennedy: but they were not poll

polarizing figures that president is now, he could do same thing with same poll numbers and have same or better results and get demonized? >> yes, he is creating an extreme reacted, the two guys, one is 72 years old and effervescent. and the other is 54 years old, and he is hoarse. kennedy: you know why, no booze. >> he is living a mormon life style. kennedy: they have the best skin. kennedy: mitt romney looks good for 44. >> really good. >> i look good for 77. kennedy: a subject rear all familiar with, anthony quick stint, as white house communication director do you know story of his rise on wall

street. andrew began following "the mooch" 4 years ago now a whole film about him called "mooch." >> anthony is good at making sure people know anthony. >> we'll have a jihad, no problem. >> quiet set. >> i should not call it a jihad. i am at my best when the [ bleep ] walls are falling in, you with me. >> a guy who wants to get on inside. >> you need name recognition. kennedy: descre screw credibilit last quote from before president was even the nominee. you were early adapt or to "mooch" mania. >> why. kennedy: why did you decide to make a film. >> you met him, he has a lot of personalty, he would be interesting character. at the time it was anthony survival and his thriving after

financial crisis. it is a story about the finish crisis and what happened after, but when han -- >> is he "the big short"? >> yeah that is good. >> i am short. i don't know if i am "the big short." >> your personality. kennedy: thank you very much, you can use that. when d do we see real anthony, i known him to be gr gregarious. willing to talk any anything, he does not have a list of things you can't ask him. >> never. kennedy: you got me into the inauguration, and you offered me sporting tickets. only thing i have given you. >> only for the mets. can you imagine if i was a red sox fan. kennedy: i healt i hate the red. >> anthony is a multifaceted person, last summer he was

reduced to a sound bite, he can't. i think most people have the wrong impression of him certainly you come -- >> compelling as documentary as wiener. >> it a different story, he is a different person. kennedy: there is a down fall, you have a few troughs, but you know. >> get up. kennedy: right. >> 12 day that matters, not 11 days in wall street. what happens after you have beenic coreiated -- excoriated, how do you get off the map, i could play mayhem in all state commercial. come from a ble blue collar fam, you have to take risks to get to where i am, if you do, you will fail, no way you can bounce like a super bowl no soup ball, not . >> tough, there are points --

kennedy: we know what wishful thinking and played polling -- flawed polling gets us, president trump. democrat were so confident in

hillary's fore gone coronation, they forgot to vote. and since then she has been wobbling with her tiara askew trying to answer the question, wwhat happened? same thing that might happen tomorrow night, everyone got it wrong, democrat have been working tirelessly to write the wrong outcome -- to right the wrong outcome, democrat are hell belt to taking back the house and several state houses on way to ultimate mul melugin, a demot president in 2020, a lots of that rests on tomorrow night, but have they done enough and do they have it right. as they did two years ago, well they might stay home. democrat are path nal activated but their economic counter argument is flat, people like

money. dems are banking on anger 85% say, they have high level of interest in the midterms but republicans are close. at 82%. they are a lot of tight races from florida to arizona, history and momentum, gives democrat an edge, there is room to blow it, their heading would explode with gooing force. actor cram wel said if democrats blow this race, there will be blood in the streets. that will be pun waited by possible violence revolution, that will do james, house republicans will be more surprised to win than democrats to lose, but they both better be prepared in this mad word nothing is certain, either party can succeed on any given tuesday. that is the memo.

>> michel moore, one of the few leftist who saw president trump winning in 2016. has a warning for democrat to not be over confident. >> i'm not making the mistake someone else made on a late night show a couple nights ago, a democrat who just automatically announced we're going to win. and it like my god that is what happened in 2016. everyone was throwing party for hillary, before the election. and i think some people stayed home. kennedy: they had fireworks, the best thing ever. talking about nancy pelosi. who virtually promised that democrat would win, why boo either voting. -- why bother voting, could michel moore be right again, what would democrats do if they lose, the panel to discuss, coauthor jessica tar --

>> jason chaffetz. and host of tom shillue show. welcome, election night eve, how great is this. >> oh, so exciting. kennedy: if i wrong to think that democrat have a shot of losing. >> you are right, even if they win, trump will still be president. kennedy: no because the democrat will take house, then they will impeach him and senate will be like omy god you are right, and they will vote to throw hem out. >> that is what they think, mo matter how big wave, not big enough, trump will be -- will be more democrat for him to fight with. and they will be -- there i mean, i think cromwell was being metaphor call about flood in the streets. kennedy: i don't know he said nonviolent or violent

revelation. >> take your pick. kennedy: let's talk about it polling has been wrong, there are a lot of tight races. even if republicans lose is there a way they win. let's see democrat have 5 seat majority. >> what is is amazing, going into this, i was there in house of representatives when there was a republican wave, 63 seats, there is no chatter that will happen. looks like senate will stay republican, but i don't think anyone really knows. professional -- whatever they are. kennedy: prognot o prognot of -t believe them. >> they got it so wrong, people were embarrassed about talking about voting for president trump. democrat in a different min mine set. -- mind set.

if they lose what within wrong. >> polling on national level for 2016 was correct. predicting hillary would win by 2 1/2. she did win by in polling. >> she won? >> -- popular vote. >> democrat are a lot more weary of coming out saying, i saw. well i don't know. you can't know odds about 85% now, they were 85 percent that hillary would win. kennedy: and james woods retweeted huffington post. >> 99%. >> "new york times" -- they meter had her 114%.

>> really crazy she did not win. i think focus on not 60 seats, but politico report. kennedy: they say 29. >> you see it going to 35, 60 is out of the question, but senate race that i find interesting, but look at trend line in arizona, nevada, and missouri, you follow president trump you can smell. not that he stinks before you start tweeting at me, it is competitive. kennedy: republicans say, they race that should have been a lock or lean for democrat have tightened. >> in senate. >> absolutely, historically person in power their party they less seats, refly 25 that is about what we think will happen. the gubernatorial races are will be in interesting, tight in florida, tight in iowa.

and but, i don't think republicans are going to walk away by the end of the week thinking that tsunami of democrat happened. kennedy: dud no does not feel la -- shellacking. they were coming off a massive shift from 12 years of reagan-bush, they thought that clinton momentum would carry them to midterms. they had a spanking. prediction? >> i will predict that if he lose -- we saw the contract with america that big turnover. and it did not dim bill clinton's reelection process. >> no, a lot of time those big personality presidential types always do well for themselves, bill clinton did and barack obama and donald trump. question is, we'll see tomorrow

night, will that translate to some other races, this is first big test for the president's clout. >> it is a big test, you just made about the races tighter than they should be, we have 10 democrat runs in red state that trump won by double digits. >> all right. >> i don't know, we have much more to talk about. they are returning, it is the mid term madness, don't take your meds quite yet, grandma.

bill clinton any more. former president, has appeared in a handful of campaign evens for midterms, a few democratic candidate rejecting his help, he struggled to reconcile his legacy in "me too" move. he said "me too" for all wrong reasons, he and hillary to embark on a 13 city tour after the election, some tickets going for $2000. wow that is a lot of hot dogs bubba. why is he toxic on campaign trail. the panel is back, jessica, i think that not just "me too" i think, not just every progressive democrat has to run against his legacy. also that he slow and boring. >> i would not go that far. kennedy: i would. >> because you have, multiple times in my present.

i think is "me too" well the did not exist they would not. >> he is one of most charismatic people. kennedy: he was. >> i remember in 2016 elect, he showed up with juanita broderick and catherine lilly, he had such an opportunity to do what he loves to make a primetime speech talk about how people should not blame his wife for his misdeeds, how he is only person responsible for his actions, he could have taken some heat off hillary, he did not do that, it would not be happening now, he could have been a redemptive figure of the "me too." kennedy: redemption requires

attrition. >> there is nothing real about them, you are on your 7th lap asking for money, money, that is what they do. kennedy: they are broke. >> they fund raise a ton of money. >> but no one wants to be associated. kennedy: his good friend, campaigned for him in mississippi, his office is no, bill who? >> he is about the past, and elections are future, i think democrat focus way too much in demonizing donald trump who is not on ballot, they would rather go to elect with anger. >> he was a hindrance to hillary. >> only one saying. maybe you should focus on some blue collar workers places like pennsylvania and wisconsin, she is like what?

i don't want to go to wisconsin. >> i am not sure how it within. kennedy: close. >> pennsylvania could use another visitor two, i don't know if anybody said anything about wisconsin, it is cold there, a radical change. kennedy: i am excited you were here, a great way to have three different voices, on this -- >> because you are in congress, you can't play. kennedy: i'm too cool i'm from utah. >> all right. >> we're friends. we're a crazy group. i'm ken jacobus and i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. and last year, i earned $36,000 in cash back.
