control of the senate. >> linda says terrorism and lone wolf terror attacks. thanks to everyone who responded. >> "fox & friends" starts now. have a great day. >> bye. see you later. >> good monday morning to you. it's november 3. i'm ainsley earhardt filling in for elisabeth this morning. >> caught on camera. costumed passengers are forced to evacuate when that ship strikes something in the middle of the night. details on the chaos and that rescue straight ahead. >> just one day before the election, the midterms, and republicans surge in key battle ground states. according to one democrat, the g.o.p. lead in iowa has nothing to do with her policies. >> [inaudible] if she hopes i'm michele

bachmann, she's wrong. >> taylor swift? it gets worse as democrats fear the worst is yet to come. >> so much for drumming up support in days leading up to the election as the president makes another campaign stop, get this, he's met by another empty stadium. this as his approval ratings sink to an all-time low. we'll examine because mornings are better with friends. >> this is jimmie johnson. you're watching "fox & friends." >> he's the jimmie johnson who wasn't in a fight yesterday. did you see that? >> jeff gordon. >> what the heck? the nicest guy in sports. >> right. i thought the other guy was fine. he saw an opportunity to go between the two cars. he took the lead and jeff gordon did not like that. >> all about a fight, all about an opportunity, all about winning, and that's what tomorrow is all about. we're just about 48 hours from the end of the midterm elections.

today is the last day we actually look at polls. you can see that in a number of key states, the republicans are actually doing better than they were last week, and that's buoyant for them. mitch mcconnell is leading in kentucky by about nine. >> which is significant because they thought mcconnell could go the way of a lot of other leaders. now he leads by two points and now if grimes does lose she has herself to blame. a lot of people are upset because she would not admit who she voted for in the election, let alone support. >> now purdue, look at this, this is david purdue running against michelle nun. he is at 48%. she is at 44%.

>> then you go down to louisiana, and the senate race right now, the republican is leading the incumbent. bill cassidy at 50% and mary landrieu at 45 probably, probably still heading for a run-off unless somebody gets more than 50%. >> let me bring up one other thing with that poll. if all three are together, believe it or not, the other conservative candidate running as a libertarian would get 15%. landrieu is actually in front. when you put them head to head, cassidy would have the lead and mannis indicated if there was to be a run-off and if he were to lose -- which he is going to, he would side with the republican. >> you'll be talking to him on the >> we'll be talking to joni ernst. she is surging in the des moines register poll. it is led by a republican

in iowa who has had an uncanny ability to get this on the nose. joni ernst 51% and bruce braley at 44%. there is joni ernst yesterday. what is interesting is the incumbent, tom harkin, the democrat, long time there, says she's really a nice person, but then he kind of goes off the rails with this sound bite. listen to this. >> [inaudible] joni ernst, she is really attractive and she [inaudible] i got to thinking about that. i don't care if she's good-looking as taylor swift or as nice as [inaudible]

but if she votes like michele bachmann, she is wrong. >> hold it. mr. rogers is not on the ballot. >> why do we focus so much, especially on women that are running for office, why do we focus on their looks? why don't we focus on their policies? he talks about she is attractive and she seems like she is nice. that doesn't have anything to do with it. there is a double standard. >> isn't there a book about how people in the senate were judging michele bachmann for how attractive she is. >> you can't be a pretty woman and run for office? >> she is going to be with us at 7:45 eastern time right here on "fox & friends." meanwhile, something that is very telling is the current president of the united states, barack obama, is so toksically unpopular, today, the day before the midterms he is not making a single appearance. he was, however, yesterday

in the great state of pennsylvania. he was at an arena, and take a look at this. if you notice, the arena is cut in half because they knew they wouldn't have enough people to fill it up. there is a black curtain that cuts the place in half. then, as you can see as well, this tom wolf rally yesterday in philly, about half the seats not filled. >> he comes here on this day with a 44% approval, over 50% you unfavorable rating. even in the africa he went from 97 -- even in the african-american community he has dropped. he wants to be out there, and it bothers them that there is no push to get him out there. i couldn't believe as unpopular as i thought george bush was at the six-year mark, he still made hundreds of appearances around the country as well as

fund-raisers. >> when i s saw that tweet, the picture we just showed you, i was shocked this morning, because it's a half of a half. it's a fourth of that basketball arena was full, and not even the top tier. i mean, you would think when the president comes to town, more people are going to go and -- >> he's the president of the united states, and it's election time, and they're in true blue pennsylvania. he couldn't even fill up half of half. >> i wonder if this is telling of what we're going to see tomorrow. >> you just never know. mitt romney says tomorrow is not going to just be the opportunity for people to express their frustration with how things are going, but it's really the last time to weigh in on the president himself. here he is. >> this is really the last chance for america to pass judgment on the obama administration and on its policies. people want to see real change and recognize as long as you have all the same players, harry reid and barack obama, blockading any kind of progress, you're going to see america going in the

same direction we've seen it. >> again, let's see what happens. you still have ten senate races within the margin of error. here we are a day before election day. let's see who shows up. let's see who turns out. and then we'll examine what will change, if anything, within the final two years. >> it's all about voter turnout? are you going to vote? if you don't, you can't complain, so you better vote. >> let's turn it over to leah gabriel. >> good morning, friends. a halloween horror crew becomes a real life nightmare when something in the ocean hits a ship as it leaves the bahamas. >> everybody's scared. >> the ship lost power forcing hundreds of costumed passengers to put on life vests and evacuate. >> the lights blew out. we were all eating. it became total chaos. there was nobody able to manage what was going on. >> passengers stayed in the

>> sergeant andrew tahmooressi freed tbra mexican -- from a mexican prison and back on american soil today thanks to the efforts of an american bipartisan team including former governor who even provided an airplane to get tahmooressi home. he joins us now to talk about what it took to free the retired marine. good morning to you. >> thank you. nice to be with you. >> what took so long? >> well, this was an effort led by a wonderful mother, jill tahmooressi, who organized a coalition of, as you mentioned, bipartisan congressmen, republican congressmen, myself, a very sound legal

strategy. i'm going to give credit to the mexican government. the attorney general recommended that based on ptsd there should be a humanitarian release. a judge accepted this. this is a good story. the story is that we should never leave our veterans behind not just in conflict, but in civilian life. but we need to learn more about ptsd. but sergeant tahmooressi, i spent a lot of time with him, a wonderful human being. positive, good-looking kid, patriotic, war hero. it's a good story in the midst of all this dysfunction in government, in the midst of all this policies in washington that don't work that republicans and democrats teamed up together to produce a very good outcome. >> governor, it was nice to see the video when his feet hit the ground, american soil. you were on the airplane. you provided this. your airplane. we all say thank you for your efforts in getting him

home safely. what was it like being on the airplane with him? what was he talking about and what were some of his thoughts? >> well, what he was talking about was he wants to spend a little time decompressing with his family. you know, he mentioned that he had been in prison for seven months. he wants to have no eyes looking at him. he wants to spend time with his family. he also mentioned to me before that he wants to get some stone crabs at joe's stone crabs in miami. but he, i think he's going to probably be very quiet for awhile. but his mom, jill tahmooressi, deserves enormous credit. and i think you guys at fox, you raised this issue with the american public. but i think what is important here is the mexican government deserves credit. they don't like to be pressured. they were nationalistic. they're very nationalistic. so the outcome is a very good one. >> governor, when people are at their brutal worst,

they send you to talk to them. you talked to saddam hussein, you go to north korea. then you have to step up to help tahmooressi get out. and i know you have to deal on a diplomatic level with the mexican government but you cannot give them credit. they deserve no credit. the reason they give to let him out, is ptsd, i'm sorry you have to suffer with that to get out but they should be condemned, they should not get applause at this hour. >> well, i don't agree with you. i believe very strongly that the strategy, the legal team that andrew had to pursue a strategy -- >> do you know how brutal those conditions were originally? that's not the way a neighbor treats a marine. >> i visited that prison. what i think we have to understand is the mexicans have very little experience with ptsd. they're not a nation at war. what they wanted was

evidence, medical evidence -- >> but he did nothing wrong. he made a wrong turn into a country which is ridden with outlaws and gangs and cartels. they took a marine and kept him for 214 days. >> look, look, i think the importance -- the state department also played a very good role. the consular service in tijuana, roberta jacobson, assistant secretary. to say there wasn't a comprehensive effort pushing for this, but you have to be careful. you can't show it's diplomatic and heavy-handed pressure. so the strategy was one, i think alerting the american public. a lot of marines have been in touch with us. and the crowt come is good. it's because of a strong u.s.-mexico relationship. i'm going to give you guys credit at fox. you alerted the american public. you brought this to the attention, the mexicans were watching. we should celebrate a good

story instead of trying to find problems. >> i heard the story about the 214 days he was there. >> you're absolutely right. fox did take the lead on this. we were led by greta van susteren. she is going to be joining us a little bit later on today and she will have the first interview with andrew tahmooressi. all right, governor, thank you for joining us from new mexico. >> thank you for your hard work on this. >> it will be interesting to see if the president does speak out because he still hasn't made a comment on sergeant tahmooressi being on. >> maybe he didn't want to be part of the diplomatic pressure the governor was talking about. 21 after the hour. she wanted to die before the cancer killed her. and this morning she did that. brittany maynard's last words straight ahead. >> he is one of america's funniest comedians but did chris rock go too far this time? >> they should change the name from the freedom tower to the never going in there tower because i'm never

reaction. the fact that we're talking about the freedom tower which opens today and the boston bombing, amongst those dead and wounded is an eight-year-old child. am i missing it or is that something we should not be kidding about? >> i couldn't believe what i was hearing. i think humor is a good part of our society -- >> you think he's fantastic? >> i love chris rock and i think we need to laugh at ourselves more as far as religion, sexuality, i think we would be a better society. but i think what he did is crossing over this line. he was making light of murder. those people went to work that day. i commuted to the trade center that day. my cousin steve was killed that day. they knew it was a target. in 1993 that place was bombed. yousef, one of the bombers said they were going to attack it again. these people went to work that day to support their families and chris rock is saying he's never going to go in there. you know what? he has that choice. these people didn't.

>> the other thing he said is you built the freedom tower. of course we did. the bottom line is we built the freedom tower and it's finally done, and he said what kind of arrogant stuff is that? is that arrogant to rebuild the towers? >> is that what he's saying? if you stand up to terrorists you're being arrogant. we have such an upside down world if that's what he's saying. >> he went on to say look at the analogy, i got robbed at 48th and 8th. i don't go back there. basically the theme of this comedy is that he's a wuss? >> i guess. he's also talking about the people who have to go to work every day. you and i go into the city every day. it is a target here but we do it because we do what's right for our families and for the people who depend on us. i work in a building where my father was killed by

terrorists. the faln had two deadly bombings, one was the building i work in now. that affects me every day i go in there but i go in because i've got to feed my family. and he's talking about the people who work now acting as if -- he's not going to go in. you know what? he has that choice. they don't. >> or it's just comedy and we shouldn't be taking him serious. but i thought comedy, the premise has to be real and then the punch line. >> comedy, we've got to laugh but this was hurtful to me, firemen and the people who went in to rescue people, and what are they thinking right now. and the boston families. >> thanks, joe. good to see you. two minutes before the bottom of the hour. coming up, this t-shirt pushing women's rights but when you hear who made it, you may think twice. and this kid doing weather on tv stole the spotlight. >> what do you want to be when you grow up?

development. >> americans head to the polls tomorrow for the final day and some experts predict we may not know if the republicans will capture control of the senate for weeks, maybe months. but our next guest advises to know the outcome sooner watch a couple of states with early poll closings on election night. here to explain is scott rasmussen. good morning, scott. you say there are certain states that if they go the republicans' way, for instance, in new hampshire. right now scott brown is trailing jean shaheen by a couple in the real clear politics average. let's say he suddenly leaps to a lead tomorrow. what does that tell you? >> if he wins -- the point of this is there are early races so you can get to bed, so you can watch "fox & friends" the next morning. if scott brown wins that means it is likely to be a very good night for republicans. number one, he's been trailing all year. nobody thought this was a

real race he had a shot at until lately. and he's made his roundup by lashing senator shaheen to barack obama, if it works for scott brown in new hampshire, it could work all across the country. >> down in north carolina, kay hagan has been pretty artful at backing away from barack obama, currently according to real clear politics average, she is a little ahead of the republican. >> that is a race thearlly in the year -- a race that early in the year we thought this is going to a tight race. republicans picked up other opportunities since then. polling has shown senator hagan is a little ahead but it has been tight lately. what does it tell us about future elections? if senator hagan hangs on and wins that particular election, it means it's not going to be a terrible night for democrats. they could still lose control but it might be a narrower loss. if tillis wins and brown wins you're looking at a different snar yes.

this past may, sergeant brandon mendoza was killed by an illegal immigrant driving drunk. yesterday for the fourth year in a row, families of those murdered by illegals rallied to honor the victims in a national day of remembrance. marian, the mother of sergeant mendoza, joins us now. thank you for being with us and speaking out. >> good morning. thank you. >> good morning. i'm so sorry for your loss. tell the audience and us what happened on may 12. >> my son had just finished his shift at work and heading home and there was an illegal who had

been drinking all day and had been driving over 38 miles on four different freeways the wrong way and my son was on an offramp heading on a transition to another freeway and met him head-on and he was three times the limit drunk, had meth in his system, and my son basically stood no chance. there was mo place for him to go to avoid the accident. >> and he had been in trouble with the law before? >> yes. he had been arrested in 1994 in colorado for assaulting a police officer, burglary. he was released and expected back in court, which he never showed up. and in 2002 he was caught at the border trying to reenter the united states. they took him back up to colorado and most of the charges were dropped and he never spent one day in jail and he wasn't deported even for assaulting a police officer, burglary. the fell charges against him --

felony charges against him, he never spent time in jail. >> do you think if the laws were enforced, your son would be alive today? >> absolutely. >> is the president reaching out to you? >> he's not. what's the most frustrating thing is this amnesty issue is coming up and he's taken the time to meet with illegals and address their issues and now he's doing something about it and all i've asked for and the remembrance project has asked for is some acknowledgment that we exist, that thereçó are american citizens affected by illegals in this country who are driving drunk, committing felonies, who are killing our loved ones and the president has never even acknowledged that we exist, that this problem is even there. >> what is the solution to prevent other mothers from having to experience this in the future? >> if there is an illegal who has committed a crime and it's a felony, they need to spend their time in jail because obviously deporting them is not solving the problem.

they're coming back over the border with a new identity. i'm just finding it hard to believe that the federal government can track any of us in our everyday life and these illegals who have crossed the border and committed crimes and committed felony, they're leased on their own recognizeance to come back to court and don't show up. that's proven fact the majority of them don't. they assume new identities. they go on living in our country a secret life and killing citizens. >> thank you so much for talking about this. you're very brave to come and do this and try to change future for other families. we're remembering your son and we'll always think about him in the month of may and as we face the holidays. >> thank you very much. coming up, stevie wonder has huge news this morning. the music sensation is about to have three times the work. and one day to go until the midterm elections. can you believe it? they're here. so which races should you be watching over the next 24 hours? look who is here.

bret baier. he is up from washington and live next. hey, bret. ♪ ♪ ñrñiñrñr

good morning. it is monday, november 3. i'm ainsley earhart filling in for elisabeth. just one more day to go until we all head to the polls. and it could be a record-breaking night for the democrats in a very bad way. this is the president's disapproval is sinking even lower. has he hurt his own party more than anyone else has? bret baier is here live with reaction to that. >> according to one democrat, the gop lead in iowa has nothing to do with policies. joni ernst, she's -- >> wow. she's here to respond this hour. and this video was demanded

by kids. this morning we have it and the puppies you can take home this hour. it's all about dogs shaking the wetness off their dog bodies. why? because this is "fox & friends". >> this is kenny log goes gins on the curvy couch. you're watching "fox & friends." >> good morning. >> wet dogs. >> it's very similar to "special report". >> very similar. like we stole your format. >> dogs play very well and so do you. we're gladiator to talk about mid terms tomorrow. >> can you believe it? the countdown is on. we have a big show planned tuesday night. there is so much to watch. all of these races are really tight. they could turn based on turnout. >> sure. let's start with new hampshire. scott brown right now, according to the real clear politics average, is back a couple from a shaheen at this point. that number is extraordinary

because it was a big gap a little while ago. >> new hampshire is one of the races we'll watch early on in the night. if it looks like scott brown might actually pull that off, that will open up the door to a lot of things. we could see a lot of things for republicans that night. if it's an easy win for jean shaheen, it's another indicator. i think new hampshire is turning on a couple of things. one is scott brown is focused on immigration and also on foreign policy. and jean shaheen is on the senate foreign relations committee. armed services committee. all the isis talk has not been a great focus for that campaign. >> and it's a surprise because if you said that six months ago, people are like no one cares about overseas. they're burnt out from middle east problems. but when you a resident of new hampshire get beheaded and scott brown was tougher on that then you say, let's give this guy another look. plus, he seems to like meeting people, going out, working the bars, going to the marathons.

>> he's a good campaigner. and just like mary landrieu in louisiana is a good campaigner, you still have to have the issues to be able to take you over the top. and scott brown, we'll see if he pulls off an upset, this would be the biggest -- probably the biggest of the cycle. >> let's talk about north carolina 'cause you have kay hagan running against tim tillis and he's leading here, or was, but not anymore. kay haguean is 44.1. >> kay has run a really smart campaign down there. she has marshalled her resources. it all depends on whether she can get african-americans out to the polls. if she can get all of those democratic constituencies out in north carolina. so far early votes show she's doing a pretty good job. >> absolutely. the barak obama story really started in iowa. he won the caucuses and now it looks as if bruce bailey, depending on who is saying it, is trailing right now. joni ernst by substantial

margin. this is from the des moines register poll, which is very katy. >> it is. it still may be a little bit wider than a lot of the polls we're looking at. you look at the internals of this poll, 51-39, ernst leads in independence. brayly is losing his own congressional district by three points. that's not a good sign. >> people back home. >> so one of the things we heard really in 2012 and only certain pockets is the war on women. it's been effective with democrats -- then you have a democrat here saying something that i'm sure añi lot of females across the country weren't too pleased with in talk about joni ernst, here is tom harkin. >> joni ernst, she is really attractive. and i got to thinking about

that. i don't care if -- if she votes like michelle bachman, she's wrong. >> if that were a republican who said that, what would happen? >> be a lot of focus on that this morning. and dana perino said on the special last night, this would be front page. it would be a big deal. she thought. i think that's probably true. harkin planned that. he had note cards. it wasn't like he stumbled into that sound bite. it's getting attention, but it's not getting a lot of negative attention. >> i'm curious to find out what joni ernst is going to talk about it. stick around because she'll be on the show. we're going to ask her about it. >> true. meanwhile, there is a big item in politico this morning talks about how barak obama is upset that things aren't going his way. he says they spent $2 billion dumping on me and nobody is sticking up for me, me, me.

tom corker, the tennessee senator, he says the president appears tired. it's almost as if he was wishing for a six-year term instead of eight-year term. >> yeah. this is the second really big behind the scenes anonymous source piece. you have the "new york times," foreign policy focus. now you have this politico piece. it doesn't paint a great picture of the internals of the white house, but it does paint a frustrated president who wants to be out there, wants to be going to all these states. >> why isn't he? he hasn't been. >> they don't want him there. >> it sounds like a lot of bs because if the president wanted to be out there, he'd be out there. >> but the candidates don't wat you, you don't go. >> he could go to governors -- >> these are states that mitt romney won by double digits and they don't want the president there because he really is, this election, more than anything else, republicans have made it about president obama. >> starting wednesday, it's going to be okay. now what? now what do you do with the next two years? do you go executive action crazy

or do you pull back and call up senator corker and some people you've had success with in theist and say how do we work this out? >> imagine this, the runoffs happen. louisiana and also in georgia, december 6, january 6. you have a decision to make about this executive order on immigration. that's going to happen at some time in there. you also have health care, a lot of the mandate, the businesses are going to say, we're no longer in. there are a number of things that are planned after the election that will happen before those runoffs. >> i'll give you one more. the iran deal. he wants to get that done in the lame duck session because the senate wants to say in what's going to be ratified. democrats won't push it. republicans will. >> it will all focus in all of these elections if there are runoffs. >> bret baier will try to figure out how to kill ten more hours. >> get some sleep. you're going to need it. >> and you'll join me on radio?

>> i will. >> thank you. eight minutes after the top of the hour. lea gabriel hasñi the headlines. >> listen to this, cruise ship nightmare, passengers dressed up in costumes for a hall rein horror cruise and get scare of a lifetime when the ship slams right into something. >> i knew something wasn't right >> it happened just as the ship was leaving the bahamas. the entire vessel losing power, forcing hundreds of passengers to scramble into life vests and evacuate. >> the lightsably u. we were all eating. it became total chaos. nobody able to manage what was going on. >> those passengers stayed in the bahamas for a night before boarding another ship back to miami. investigators say they have no idea what the ship's hit is this morning. a story the country has been watching. the portland woman with terminal brain cancer who wanted to die

the v.a. scandal and the gutting of the military budget should be enough to get vets to the polls. but history says they don't show sometimes. the guy trying to change all that joins us live next. and most 16-months-olds are just learning to speak. not this one. >> heads up, heads up. >> the beat box baby straight ahead. ñrñip÷÷

the white house has been hit with an avalanche of scandals and problems all impacting our nation's heros directly. 22 million veterans in america and 57% of them voted in the 2010 midterm elections. so will they get out the vote tomorrow and have their voices heard once and for all? pete hegseth is the ceo of concerned veterans for america and he's on a mission to get veterans to vote and joins us now from the battle ground state of north carolina. captain, do you think the veterans are motivated to vote and in the past, why haven't they? >> how could they not be motivated. from the scandals at the department of veterans affairs, we're gutting our military, isis is on the march, we're trading deserters for traitors.

veterans are mad as hell. they're motivated. the and he is will we get them out. the big differentiate can be that get out the vote effort. are you remaining people to go out and take that step 'cause as you said, even veterans in a midterm election, last time around, only 57% of them voted. if you add military families on top of that, that's a massive chunk of patriotic, god fearing americans going to the poll. >> you're trying to help them when they get out and sometimes voting comes up in that. pete, what do they say is the reason? >> the reason, lot of veterans are frustrated with this the right, left, they're all crooks. i don't want to have to deal with that. what we're saying is, and what concerned vets for america has said is you got to continue the fight here at home. it's not enough just to come back and put the combat boots in the closet. you've got to go to work again. so we've got teams of veterans here in north carolina knocking on doors, walking house by house to house of veterans and military families reminding them

of the issues, reminding them to vote. we're doing this across the country because if veterans vote in massive numbers, even one or 2%, that could make the difference in a race. i could rather have them voting than folks who tonight know the issues. >> especially those who sacrificed a lot of money and willing to die for the country and more patriotic than most of the country. i want to look at the three categories and give the president's approval ratings. first off, terrorism, the president has 41% approval. 36% about how he's handling isis, 35%. having said that, how does that affect the veterans community? >> they see a lack of leadership. veterans understand what leadership looks like. they're not seeing ytq4j4(p&c@ i was at the doorstep yesterday of a full bird marine corps colonel and air force captain and his wife talking issues about them, asking if they're going to vote. they said slew utley we're going

to vote because we need new and better leadership. we're seeing that radios -- across the country. we're going to make sure they make it to the poll. >> just your opinion, why is it if george bush gets you into wars and president obama gets you out of wars, why does he have a higher disapproval rating? >> veterans know even though he made mistakes, that he's got their backs, that he wants to win. that he know when is our backs are against the wall, the commander in chief will finish. with president obama, they don't know what he believes. when he sets a deadline, he's out of there no matter what the conditions are. it's not just about benefits for veterans, brian. that's not what we're out here knocking on doors for. it's about our legacy and about this nation. it's about being strong and secure and that's what president bush understood. >> two of his past secretary of defenses are very critical of him. captain hegseth on the move on the march in north carolina, thanks so much.

looks? listen. >> joni ernst, she is really attractive. and she's nice. i don't care if you're as good looking as taylor swift or as nice as mr. rogers, but if she votes like michelle bachman, she's wrong for the state of iowa. >> joining us right now from the state of iowa is joni ernst. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you? >> it is great. we know you've got a very busy final day of campaigning. thank you for taking time to be with us. when you heard tom harkin, the sitting senator from the state of my birth, iowa, say that about you, you're attractive, stuff like that, what did you think? >> well, first i was very offended that senator harkin would say that. i think it's unfortunate that he and many of their party believe that you can't be a real woman

if you're conservative and you're female. again, i am greatly offended about that. i do believe if my -- please, go ahead. >> what if the roles were reversed? what if this were a republican saying this about a contract, how do you think the press would have taken that? >> oh, i think the press would have been all over this this morning. they would not have let that go. i believe if my name had been john ernst attached to my resume, senator harkin would not have said those things. >> yeah. you know, it seems like -- we've heard it for the last couple of years, a number of democrats, when referring to republican, they say there is a war on women. do you find that deeply offending? i've heard you explain why. would you explain to our audience? >> yes, absolutely. the night of my primary election, i said that this is a phony war on women. first i am a woman and second, i have been to war. i am a combat veteran.

this is not a war on women. any time democrats are using the word war, they need to do it to honor our servicemen and women. >> it looks like you're doing something right because you were neck in neck with brayley and now you're head ahead in the polls, you have 51 and he has 44%. and these polls were just released. what's your reaction to that? >> yes. i am very excited about that. it just shows the momentum that we have here in iowa. people are rejecting the failed policiesçó of congressman braley and vertebra vertebra. they want a new direction for america and taking this seat is a new direction for america. we're going to do a 24-hour tour of iowa just to continue with that momentum and get out the vote for tomorrow. >> sure. according to the brand-new des moines register poll, which has you up by seven, i believe, at this point, and it is kind of the gold standard because they've been very accurate in the past, mr. brayly is losing

in every congressional district in the state, including his past. one of the things people have said in the past is his campaign seems to be more negative ads than yours. optimistically, if you are elected tomorrow to represent the state of iowa, when you go to washington what, do you want to do? >> there are a number of things that i would like to do. of course, first is repeal and replace obamacare with something that is very patient centered, something that is affordable and actually does provide quality health care for americans. i think we need to balance the budget and i think we need to address our tax structure here in the united states. there are so many things that i would love to address and i do hope the people of iowa give me that opportunity. >> do you have a prediction before we leave you today? >> well, my prediction is that iowans will carry the day and i will be elected. that's my prediction. it is my great hope and i want to go back to something you

said, a campaign that's directly reflective of the person at the top of their ticket. and that's why you see a negative campaign coming from the other side and on our side, we are a very positive campaign. i'm hopeful for the direction of america. >> you're going to tour the whole state today, so thank you very much for taking a little time out to join us today. >> thank you. great talking to you. warning on this next video. the cuteness rating is incredibly high. look at this. >> it's a ten. >> this morning, we have some puppies that you can take home. look at that! you thought brian was cute. he just got even cuter. >> meanwhile, on this date in history back in 1998, one week by the bare naked ladies, number one song. we were all singing this. ♪ ♪ ñr'wóóñt

medicines prescribed by her doctor. she posted this on facebook saying, quote, today is the day i have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal i willness. this brain cancer that has taken so much from me but would have taken so much more. and she became the face of the controversial right to death movement that was after she was diagnosed with a stage 4 malignant brain tumor earlier this year. she was given six months to live. and moved her family from california to oregon. that is where it is legal for physicians to prescribe life-ending medication to certain terminally ill patients. she said she made the decision to end her life after suffering, quote, increasingly frequent and longer seizures, severe head and neck pain and stroke-like symptoms. she said she wanted -- she did not want the disease to control her life for her final days. maynard made the most out of the last months alive, crossing out items on her bucket list. traveling to alaska, canada,

branson said if pilot error is determined to be the cause, it could be a quick fix. >> yes, it's been a horrible setback, particularly for his family and for mike himself. but we owe it to him to continue and that we will do. >> the ntsb says the root cause of the crash is still under investigation. in matter of hours, test results are expected in the possible ebola case at duke university. north carolina health officials monitoring a patient who developed a fever just days after returning from liberia. main nurse casey hickox publicly apologizing for being uncooperative with quarantine policies to people living in her town. >> i understand that the community has been through a lot in the past week and that i do apologize to them for that. i will not go into town, into crowded public places.

beautiful building. >> there you go. thank you very much. it's time for one of the most important days of the week, when we have a chance to wake up to -- excuse me, he's been up for four hours already. donald trump is joining us live to talk about the big midterm elections and what races he has his eye on. welcome, mr. trump.. >> good morning. >> first stop, iowa. joany up significant margin. seven points, according toñi the des moines register. who would have predicted this six months ago? >> she's done a terrific job, a great candidate. it looks like you're going to have a good victory tomorrow. she's really been terrific. she's been strong and smart and a lot of loom -- people like her. >> what about kentucky? mcconnell with 50% now and then grimes at 41%. >> he's so solid and he doesn't get the credit for it. he's so solid. he's got such an important position coming up. so how can kentucky sort of avoid looking at that? he'll be the king. he's going to be -- if you look

at the power and all of that to a certain extent kentucky. it's very important race. it was very close and he's really surged out in front and he's a terrific guy. i know him very well. he's going to do a fantastic job. >> down in georgia, mr. perdue is leading nunn by four points, according to the latest nbcmarist poll. you have done robo calls for him down there. what i have heard and read is that in all the states where you did robo calls, for the most part, those candidates are leading. >> well that, is exactly correct, as i understand it. i want to see victory. not just leading because, you know, today doesn't matter. tomorrow matters a lot. what i have done for david and he's done an amazing job. he was hyped and now he's quite a bit ahead. he could have a tremendous victory. that's an important race. i've done them for a lot of people that have surged. lee zelden, future congressman

from long island, i think he's going to do really well. he asked know do one and i did it. he went from being behind to being substantially ahead. so i'm very honored by that. a lot of people want me to do them. if i like the person, if i like the politics, i do them. >> as white collar as you are as a billionaire, i believe that qualifies you, the blue collar people seem to identify most with you. it's kind of interesting. on david perdue, a businessman that goes ahead and tries to become a politician. they tried to get him on outsourcing and he seems to have overcome that. is that something that is a vulnerability or something that you should say hey, this is why i'm outsourcing and this is what i want to change? >> that, but it's also, david was a businessman and that's for himself and for his family and for lots of other people that frankly benefit in this country and outsourcing is perhaps the way to go and perhaps not the way to go. but this was a businessman doing the right thing for a business. and it's sad that has to happen.

somebody like david perdue understands that better than anybody else and he can turn it around so people don't have to outsource. >> and get that money back to our shore. >> we've been talking this morning, i want to get your reaction about this. president obama speaking in philadelphia yesterday and it was in an auditorium. they cut it in half. put up a screen. we have a picture of this. someone tweeted it out. and look at that. this is only half a basketball stadium. not even a fourth of the stadium, or basically a fourth is full. >> half of a half. he brought in that many people. i thought the whole place would be packed. if you hear the president is coming to your town. what's your reaction? >> well, my reaction is what a difference six years of a failed administration can make. six years ago it was a whole different ball game. people were looking for change. remember the famous word, change? it got changed all right, but not the kind of change they wanted. it was very sad. i actually watched that and it was very sad to see the response. and the response itself was very

tepid. so that's the way it goes. it could have been the other way with some right decision making. >> let me ask you this, are you confident that if the republicans prevail tomorrow, mr. trump, they're going to know what to do with the majority and how to get things done? >> well, they'll be putting bills before the president that he can either say yes or no. it's going to be very hard for him to reject everything. so you'll have both houses. you'll have a very, very strong power and you'll be putting bills -- he's not going to say no to everything, no matter how much he likes it or doesn't like it. it gives tremendous power if the republicans -- it also sends a tremendous signal to the people in this country, to our leaders, that our country is in serious trouble. our country is being decimated from every front, including jobs going overseas and everything. you look at those unemployment numbers, they're so wrong. they're so false. people give up. they stop look for work and they're considered employed. they're so wrong. and people understand it.

if you look at the median income for families, way, way down from a number of years ago. so people understand what's going on and i think it sends a very strong signal. i think the republicans actually are going to do very, very well tomorrow. we'll see. >> you did a lot for mitt romney and you had a major problem with the president. again in 2012.n't. what happened within the last two years that has the president on his heels like this? >> well, i think obamacare, it started with that. i think the concept of web site that cost over $5 billion and to this day doesn't work well. really doesn't work, but it doesn't work well. but the concept doesn't work well, even more so. so i think it really started with obamacare, where he tried to ram that through and did, in fact, ram it through where he had the power to do it. and used every single thing that he had and unfortunately, it's not working and at some point, it's going to have to be repealed, or massively changed. but i think repeal and start all

over again is better. >> exit question, prediction for tomorrow? do the republicans win and take majority of the senate? >> i think yes, absolutely. i think it's something that's actually got to happen. we have a very, very -- we have a president that's extremely unpopular. we don't have to go any further. whether he's competent or not, who knows? but he's certainly unpopular and i think you're going to have a very big republican victory tomorrow. >> donald trump joins us every monday at this time. thank you. >> thank you. 12 minutes after the hour. coming up, he's one of america's funniest comedian, but did chris rock go too far this time? >> the name from the freedom tower to the never going in there tower, 'cause i'm never going in there. >> jokes about 9-11 okay? peter johnson, jr. is not laughing. he is on deck. and look at this. rain, sleet and snow won't keep them from delivering your mail. but if it's a republican flyer, it will end up like this.

marathon bomb regular hailier layerious, right? chris rock under fire for this "saturday night live" monologue. >> you've been training for a year! you finally get to the finish line and somebody screams, run! that is horrible, man! they should change the name from the freedom tower to the never going in there tower. in the same spot they put another sky scraper, in the same spot -- what kind of arrogant lloyd mayweather crap is this? >> as soon as that was done, the twitterverse lit up with comments about how could he possibly have made those jokes? so did he cross the line? here to weigh in is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> good morning. depends what the lines are. is chris rock a fool, a boob, a clown, someone that we just laugh at, because as brian kilmeade said earlier, maybe he's just acting the part of the

woos or a commentator? is he an analyst? i think he wants to be a commentator. i think he wants to be an analyst, somewhere between lenny bruce and will rogers, closer to lenny bruce. but that last comment, you know, we can put up with people's fear, making fun of people's fear that they may want to go to a place where so many people were killed. there is fear and there is posttraumatic stress, thousands of people in manhattan and thousands of people died then and are dying today as a result of what happened on that date. but when you say that the conduct of erecting the freedom tower in the same spot is arrogant, let's look what arrogance means. arrogance means an offensive display of superiority or importance, overbear, pride. is america superior? is america proud? i believe so. a lot of people do believe so. a lot of people said yeah, we need to rebuild on that site because we should do that. not only to honor the memory of those folks, because that's what

we do as a nation, and that we will not be terrorized. but when you resort to that kind of comment in an insane, overblown, horrific way that i think, then you're doing a disservice to comedy, too. >> comedy isñr so important. humor is so important in our daily lives. if you don't wind up laughing at some point, you start crying. but one thing comics always try to do is push the envelope. but it's kind of like, maybe in this situation it's just too particularly about boston, maybe too soon or what? >> there is an obsession with terrorism. and then in a sketch that he did about isis, which was the play on shark tank that somehow isis was going to these entrepreneurs for support. let's look at that piece. >> we are seeking 400 million american dollars in exchange for a 1% stake in our new kingdom.

so who is ready to invest in crushing the west? >> hilarious. >> i don't know. was this for radicalization or chris rock's part or do we have boobs and fools and silly people as our american comic heros? remember lou costello? he played the coward. he played the fool. he played a private, though, in "buck privates." in the end, he was saying, yeah, i'm a funny guy, maybe i'm a coward, but i believe in service. i believe in american exceptionalism. does chris rock believe in american exceptionalism or does he believe in american commercialization? it may be a funny joke for chris rock, but is it funny and good for america? in the end, i don't think it's funny for anybody. >> all right. peter johnson on this monday morning, talk being saturday night. thank you. remember this kid? >> lynn, linda, linda.

here. pamela, you welcome your children calling you pam, correct? >> yes. they have called -- they call me pam and mom about 50% of the time. >> whenever we called our patients by the first name, it rarely happened and it was really a joke. so why do you give your kids the option? why don't you prefer mom? >> well, they really learned that from me. when i was four years old, i was in a setting with my mom, she had a lot of friends over. i kept saying, mom oh, mommy, and she didn't listen. so i finally said joy. and she stopped and turned and looked at me and all of her friends did and everybody laughed. i called her that from then on. >> mark, why do you think it's not appropriate? >> ainsley, i have five children and i called my 22-year-old daughter last night and said, hey, emily, you want to start calling me by my first name? and her reactionçó was, no, dad. i said, well, why not? and she said, i can call so many other people by their first name

and i can only call you dad. it gives her a sense of security and belonging. when we start allowing our children to call us by our first name, we're making shallow what is really a very deep, meaningful, loving relationship. you know what? children today aren't looking for a pal. they're look for a parent. a parent to love them and lead them. they've got enough friends. they aren't looking for that. >> would you think it was disrespectful if your daughter called you mark all the time? >> i do think it would be disrespectful and it doesn't show that they understand what respect is all about and what honor is all about and what authority is all about. i mean, think about it. are we going to send our kids to school today and tell them they can start calling their teacher by their first name? what about a military general? or what about your president? are they going to start at all calling himba rack? where does this end if we don't

draw the line of authority and start teaching our children to understand what it means to honor and respect people. >> there is nobody that i respect more in the world than my mother and half the time i call her joy and half the time i call her mother. i are you respect and boundaries -- i think respect and boundaries are so important and i wrote a book about t. it's all about creating healthy boundaries and having respect and having a healthy fun, family. my kids call me pam when they're being funny most of the time. >> all right. >> we need to have more humor. >> pam and mark, thank you so much for being with us. you get to make the rules as a parent. thank you so much for joining us this morning. coming up, greta van susteren getting a lot of the credit for bringing home our marine. and now she's getting the very first interview with sergeant tahmoreesi which she deserves and greta wiló join us to talk about it next. and this pricey t-shirt says this is what a feminist looks like. wait 'til these feminists find out who is making them.

early indications of his condition? >> we've heard all sorts of things. he has said to me when he has spoken to me on the phone that he'sñi fine. i'm sure if someone was standing next to him or if he was trying to be the marine he is and sloughing it off that he's tough. i hope during the interview we get some sort of temperature on it and i think the viewers will as well as they hear from him. >> sure. i did read on the internet that apparently the judge, the mexican judge was watching your program every night to get updates on the case, which is extraordinary. one of the things you were hammering the administration over is where are you? we got tens of thousands of them coming from mexico into the united states. we just want one guy back and they, for the most part, sat on their hands, greta. >> steve, i don't understand this. i thought maybe there was something i didn't know. so i kept begging them, tell me something and i'll back off. but i heard nothing. you talk about deportation. we deported last year to mexico over 240,000. i would have loved to have had them deport this marine back.

this marine is injured. he's got ptsd, hit by an ied, two tours in afghanistan. now -- i'm very disappointed in the administration helping get him out. i do hope the administration tells the v.a. to step up and help him 'cause he needs a lot of help. >> it just was a win-win for the administration. you got a marine stuck in mexico, one phone call. they never did it. but the state department says they helped. let's go to the midterm elections. you'll be covering a lot of that. let's talk about iowa. you have a sitting senator, tom harkin, say this yesterday about joni ernst. listen. >> i've been watching some of these ads. you know, joni ernst, she is really attractive. and she's nice. i got to thinking about that. i don't care if she's good

looking as taylor swift or as nice as mr. rogers. but if she votes like michelle bachman, she's wrong for the state of iowa. >> so he's saying she's attractive and he's saying she could be a nice person. that's why she's going to get some votes. we talked to her earlier. this is what she had to say then we'll get your reaction. >> i was very offended that senator harkin would say that. i think it's unfortunate that he and many of their party believe that you can't be a real woman if you're conservative and you're female. i believe if my name had been john ernst attached to my resume, senator harkin would not have said those things. >> what's your reaction, greta? >> it's a really dopey thing for senator harkin to say. he's 74 years old. he's an older gentleman. he's old school. really stupid to say. it's not going to throw the election at all. and this candidate is a war vet. she's heard so much worse. she has endured so much more.

but i would like to hear from a lot of the women, democratic. this is not the worst thing women have heard. it would be nice if one, in light of the fact that the mantra of the democratic party is war on women, it would be nice to hear one democratic woman leader step up and say yes, this was dopey. but this is not going to throw the election. >> remember it was republican how people are sexist on the senate floor and now maybe we're hearing what she heard. >> yeah. look, let me just say, it was dopey. he's old school. he's retiring. he's not going to throw the election. and a vet in combat has heard and seen so much more. so has every single woman in every business corporation, capitol hill, everything. so it's like this is not the end of the world. stupid thing to say. not going to throw the election. >> there you go. and she could win tomorrow. but tonight we're going to be watching you. 7:00 p.m. eastern time. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. it's 22 minutes before the top of the hour.

lea gabriel joins us with more headlines. >> thanks. first fox news alert. we have just learned that the person held at duke university for possible ebola has tested negative for the disease. he developed a fever. officials will continue to monitor the patient and will conduct additional tests to confirm those preliminary results. a wisconsin postal worker under investigation for hoarding and dumping hundreds of gop political mailers. neighbor reported it when she saw the postal carrier throwing out the flyers in a recycling bin. another postal worker eventually collected and delivered the missing mail. this popular feminist t-shirt that we're going to show you worn by celebrity, politicians, and more may be hurting the feminist movement. it reads, this is what a feminist looksñi like. but according to an investigative report by the mail on sunday, the t-shirt is made by women on a small island in the indian ocean and they are paid just one dollar per hour.

however, the shirts, they go for $70 each. and they don't just work in sweat shop conditions. they live in them, too. bunked up 16 persons in 16-person dorms. those are your headlines. >> that's quite a back story. all right. thank you. straight ahead, louisiana senator mary landrieu doubling down on her controversial comments. she and president obama are unpopular in the south because of racism and sexism. her republican opponent, congressman bill cassidy, is here toñr respond next. and can -- if republicans take the senate? how will they change their strategy? maria bartiromo is here next. ♪ ñi ♪ go ahead and put your bag right here.

have a nice flight! traveling can feel like one big mystery. you're never quite sure what is coming your way. but when you've got an entire company who knows that the most on-time flights are nothing if we can't get your things there too. it's no wonder more people choose delta than any other airline.

that's the way i look at life. looking for something better. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons.

one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

this story making headlines with a tense crowd watching, 600 feet below, dare devil nick wallenda did it again. he walked a tight rope right into the record books. he was even blindfolded at times. and he wasn't attached to anything. no harness, no net. but his amazing feat -- what got people talking, the recent outbreaks of the deadly violence in that city. >> like this one from bill who wrote, if wallenda were a real dare devil, he would walk on the streets of the south side of chicago unarmed. that would be more daring. congratulations. >> so proud. >> no kidding. president obama meeting with janet yellen, the chairman of the federal reserve later today to talk about the state of our economy. this one day before the midterm elections. >> with many voters saying, it's likely the gop will take the senate. they already have the house. how could this affects the president's economic policy?

>> joining us from "fox business" network, maria bartiromo. good to see you. >> tomorrow was a big day. mid terms are here. and if the gop does control both the house and the senate, how is this going to affect the president when it comes to finances and the economy? >> it depends on what the president would like to do. does he want to have a legacy that he actually is getting things done or does he want to keep going up against the other side and not -- vetoing things? i suspect that the republicans, if they take both chambers, they will come up with job creating bills. that means capitalizing on the energy story, fracking, the xl pipeline, tax reform, lowering the rate and broadening the base. all of this seems very likely to actually get businesses to create jobs. whether or not the president will veto those remains to be seen. >> we know they've been working on tax reform in the house with david camp and company. we'll see if that moves forward.

you know jack lew and the big players in the administration. do you think there is a sense of let's cooperate or do you think it's just make two years fly by? >> there are certain ideologies i think with this administration that they have their beliefs and that's it. i think one of them is about tax reform. during the commercial you and i were talking about the double taxation where there is all of this money, trillions of dollars overseas that could be brought back here. >> they don't want to get taxed on it. >> they don't want to get taxed twice. if there is a change there, that would move the needle in terms of job creation and growth in the economy. >> that apparently is what people, when asked by the "wall street journal" what, are the topics that are of most interest to you, 77% said the economy, health care, social security, and medicare. bread and butter items, that's what people are concerned with. we heard so much during this election cycle about contraception and abortion and that's way down the list. people want jobs. >> and it's good that the president is meeting with janet

yellen today because the federal reserve has really let these guys off the hook. with stimulus since 2008, that bond buying program has kept the economy afloat and kept the stock market rising. all this money moving into stocks. now there is a quantitative easing program is done, we'll see if the economy can show growth without the fed in its place. again, we have to see if the president is going to listen to janet yellen or if this will be another photo op. >> the president can do photo ops. thanks so much and thank you for coming. don't miss opening bell on "fox business" network of the according to reports, it comes up shortly. if you're not sure where to find it, log on to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. straight ahead, senator mary landrieu of l doubling down on her controversial comments. she and president obama are unpopular in her state because of racism and sexism. her republican opponent, congressman bill cassidy, here to respond to that next. but first, let's check in with bill hemmer to find out

what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> big long week ahead. what you need to watch on election night. the keys to america's vote early in the evening. also mitt romney making his closing argument, directs it toward the president. we'll debate what he had to say. guess who is getting slammed in syria? it's been a very good weekend for al-qaeda and for isis. some winter weather in early november affecting millions of you. martha and i will see you for a brand-new week, top of the hour here on "america's newsroom" the conference call.

>> louisiana senator mary landrieu doubling down on the controversial comments. >> very, very honest with you in the south is not always been the friendliest place for african-americans. it's been a difficult time for

the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. it's not always been a good place for women to be able to present ourselves. it's more of a conservative place. >> wow. on the eve of the election, will louisiana voters buy into senator landrieu's latest last-minute tactic? joining us now, gop senator and challenger for that seat, congressman bill cassidy. are you surprised mary landrieu says it's a sexist, racist place, that south? >> probably saddened. we're not racist. we're not sexist. we have common sense. when she votes to cut medicare by $700 million by medicare and folks on medicare object to that, she would rather call them a racist and sexist than say it was a mistake to take money from medicare. i disagree totally with the senator, but i think that just shows she'd rather talk about name calling than about issues. >> are you concerned that's going to get the black vote out and help tilt the polls to her?

>> well, there is a thought that she has only done this in order to excite racial tension, hoping to benefit from african-american increased turnout. i actually think she believes it. out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth does speak. and if you look though in the south, african-americans per capita have more elected offices than any other region in the nation. so i'm sorry about that because the way to win an election should not be exciting racialñr tension. it should be speaking to that which is better in people, or addressing issues. she is such on the wrong side of issues. she supports the president 97% of theñr time. she'd rather talk about anything but issues. >> as juan williams indicated last night, he said that might work, but at what cost. now you're elected into office, look at the divide you create. let's look latest polls. two of them, both from the same companies. nbc and maris. she beats you and the

libertarian. how can he get that high a percentage? is that a repudiation to both of you? >> no. the majority of people on november 4 will vote for change. now, the landrieu campaign has been attacking me saying things which are not true and so folks say, heck, we don't like her, but we're not sure about this fellow and they've been saying things which are not true. if we don't win on the 4th, we'll win december 6. the majority of the people in louisiana want change. i represent that change. it may take us an extra month, but if we don't win theñr 4th, we'll win december 6th. >> would maness side with you? >> voters certainly do because again, as voters, object to her, supporting the president 97% of the time. her vote to cut medicareby $700 billion, and i can go down the list. so they object to her, they will support me. i represent them.

>> congressman cassidy, it will be an exciting night for you. best of luck. >> thank you, brian. coming up straight ahead, we have one for the road and i'm sure it will surprise you and please you and leave you clapping s. how? with heat. unlike creams and rubs that mask the pain, thermacare has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation and accelerate healing. let's review: heat, plus relief, plus healing, equals thermacare. the proof that it heals is you.

>> looks like he dropped his contact. >> we were in oklahoma. >> knocking over things. >> you guya skit? >> we did a whole skit. that was what we did over the weekend for halloween. >> that's incredible. >> he's trying to get away from a tornado. >> by the way, i missed halloween in the studio, but i can give you an idea of what my niece looks like at six months old. there she is. boy, is shexd cute. also on thursday i had a chance to go to orlando and then friday to jacksonville to meet great people. able to go on stage with sean hannity and it was fantastic. we were able to hang out together. i think i really got on his nerves. i don't think any of you here are surprised. it was fantastic. >> congratulations on the book, in paperback. >> yes. tomorrow, don't forget this, it's midterm election day. chairman of the rnc will be here, frank luntz and laura ingraham, just three of the many guests. >> that's right. and also our thanks to greta van susteren who joined us today
