>> very pretty. syracuse, new york. i believe that -- is that the carrier dome? >> you've got me. >> it's really nice. >> thank you very much for joining us today on "fox & friends." we'll be back tomorrow same time, same couch. >> bill: good morning. the border crisis comes to the v.p.'s doorstep. how texas is calling out kamala harris as illegal crossings approach another historic high. secure border not so much. i'm bill hemmer, welcome to thursday. a beautiful day. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." good to be here with you. the scene in d.c. a few hours ago watch this. two buses dropping off dozens of migrants directly in front of the vice president's home. texas governor greg abbott sent them there in response to the vice president saying this on sunday. >> the border is secure but we

also have a broken immigration system. in particular over the last four years before we came in and it needs to be fixed. we have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. >> bill: despite that secure border arrests are on track to surpass 2 million this month which would be another all-time record. >> dana: greg abbott is not the only governor putting democrats on blast. ron desantis sent two plane loads to martha's vineyard. a vacation spot for wealthy progressives. >> bill: we start with griff jenkins covering the buses in washington, d.c. at the home of kamala harris. good morning, there. >> good morning, that's right. you are looking now live at some of the last migrants getting into a bus provided by

local ngos helping the migrants to go to a local church. we aren't sure exactly where. from there they will try to coordinate the migrants getting to their final destination. now to recap for our viewers, what happened at 6:45 two buses pulled up sent from texas governor greg abbott from del rio in eagle pass with 101 total migrants, mostly venezuelan. we met people from columbia as well as nicaragua. there were families with small children as well as about half were single adults. when you played that sount bite vice president harris saying on the weekend shows the border was secure, we spoke with one migrant from venezuela. he completely disagrees with what the vice president says. here is what he had to say. take a listen. >> everybody is open. we enter, you come in, free.

>> it is open for you to come illegally, right? >> yes, illegally, that's true. we said on the news everybody come in illegally. so we do the same. >> we can show you the intersection very busy on mass avenue from vice president harris lives. you can see a local ngo, one of the many coordinating these migrants. they've been doing it since march and april, some nearly 8,000 migrants have come on over 190 buses specifically to d.c. you have 2200 going to new york on over 40 buses and chicago getting a small number about five buses and a little over 300 migrants have gone. one thing is for sure, whether or not it is a message that sticks with vice president harris, a clear message was sent by texas governor abbott here outside the naval observatory. we asked some of the ngos what at the thought about all this.

they thought it was governor abbott playing politics with the migrants. >> bill: nice to have you there, washington, d.c. thank you. >> dana: the white house striking a tentative deal to avert a railroad workers strike. the question now is what concessions did the biden administration make to the union bosses and will the deal hold? peter doocy is live at the white house with more. hi, peter. >> very carefully worded statement saying it's a win for the rail workers but a victory for the rail companies and the president says in that statement i thank the unions and rail companies for negotiating in good faith and reaching a tentative agreement to keep our critical rail system working and avoid the disruption of our economy. it sounds like president biden pressured rail companies to make concessions the their workers. when he phones the room where deals were being ironed out he didn't talk about the impact the strike would have on families and businesses and now

in this deal rail workers are getting what they want. unpaid days off to go to the doctor without having points against them in the current attendance system. these workers will also get 24% raises and $5,000 in bonuses. it is the kind of deal skeptics say they saw coming. >> joe biden refuses to take the step of his own handpicked emergency board because he doesn't want to offend union supporters two months before an election. >> while it sounds like a transportation department issue, the transportation secretary pete buttigieg is not getting top billing in the thank you department. just look at speaker pelosi's note saying i commend president biden for his personal involvement and insistence on resolution and especially labor secretary marti walshe for leading the negotiations. unions will be able to vote on this deal after a cooling off period of a few weeks but in the meantime it seems like a crisis has been averted, dana.

>> dana: peter doocy, thank you so much. >> bill: new fox polling reveals a mere 38% of americans believe the white house is competent. wow. down double digits from just a year ago. karl rove with us crunching the numbers on that. good morning to you. 38%. that's enough to make you go back to bed in the morning, karl. >> well, it didn't start at a high level a year ago, 51. they are approaching one out of every three think they're competent. if the election is referendum on joe biden the democrats are in trouble. if it's about other things it helps them. >> dana: our good friend in the bush administration days, i talked to jeanne every day. during the obama administration there was a point where there was questions about competence. once you are labeled incompetent it is difficult to come back from that. do you think it's one of the

reasons that biden's numbers hold the way they are low for a president going into his first mid-term? >> think about it. his approval rating in the real clear politics average is 42.4%. that's barely above where donald trump was at this point in 2018 where the republicans lost 42 seats in the house. yet the media are saying look at this great recovery. you know, back from the dead. the biden administration and the democrats are on their way to a surprising mid-term outcome. i don't think so. i think that there has been a little bit of change on the margins but fundamentally the key is can the republicans in the remaining weeks of the campaign make it a referendum on joe biden or will there be other things that intrude like the raid on mar-a-lago to make it all about something else? >> bill: back on the poll numbers here on inflation. this is a tough number here. do you approve or disapprove.

65% disapprove of his handling of inflation. then we asked what is your congressional voter preference for the mid-terms? we find democrats have a three-point lead over republicans as of today. how accurate is that based on history that congressional ballot number? >> well, the democrats in order to come out of this election need to have a bigger margin on the ballot than that. and while i like the generic ballot as a test i'm more interested in what are the top concerns of voters. as you saw in the poll, the number one issue is inflation. and that works to the advantage of the republicans. another one of the top issues is crime. that works to the advantage of the republicans. the abortion issue largely works to the advantage of the democrats. that's another top issue. the final top issue is the future of democracy which really depends on your mindset. are you a democrat who says our democracy is at risk because of donald trump or are you a trump supporter who says our democracy is at risk because of

election integrity questions? right now the number one issue is inflation. it won't go away. we saw that this week. crime is an issue. significant issue, i think, for the republican coalition is immigration that was just talked about in your previous segment. the democrats have two things. one is the abortion issue and second the hope that something happens that events intrude and that the election is more about something other than joe biden. if it's about joe biden, this is an opportunity for people to send a message that you better do better as we want a check and balance on you. but that's what the republicans have got to fight to make the issue all about. anything that interferes with that isn't helpful to the republicans. >> dana: one of the things is that the republicans have said they'll put forward this new contract with america, that is supposed to come next week. do you think that that effort

can address the top two concerns inflation and crime in particular? >> it can, but look, this is sort of -- -i'm a big advocate for people saying what they're for and they need to do that. as important as that event is next week it is important for candidates to be talking about the issue to differentiate themselves from their democratic opponents and their vision of what ought to be done every single day. you can't simply make it about i'm against the democrats. you have to say here is what i'm for and here is what they're for and the contrast between those two positions will make the difference between winning and losing for a number of republican candidates. >> bill: nice to see you. 54 days and counting. right there on the screen, dana. >> dana: 54 days. >> bill: inflation question about whether or not you think it's under control or not. 55% say not at all.

waiting. not at all on inflation. and when you are running against the head winds, inflation is a sticky wicket as we like to say. >> dana: something we can talk to our next guest about as well. >> bill: philadelphia larry krasner becoming the latest progressive d.a. to face a push for impreachment and why he claims there is no link between his far-left policies and a surge in crime. is that the case? we'll check in on that. >> dana: brett favre at the center of a corruption scandal. the former quarterback accused of working to funnel millions in welfare ones toward one of his pet projects and how he is responding. >> bill: president biden promoting expensive electric cars but more americans say inflation is driving them to vote. what is behind the disconnect and is he dismissing the top voter concern? maria bartiromo takes it on next. >> if you look at the underlying inflation rate, the

type of inflation that's likely to last and persist, that's been stubbornly really high and that's why it will take a big effort to bring back down. ever wonder what everyone's doing on their phones? they're investing with merrill. think miss allen is texting for backup? no she's totally in charge. of her portfolio and daniel g. she's building a greener future and he's... running a pretend restaurant. and phil? phil has questions, but none of them are about his portfolio. digital tools so impressive, your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company.

visit is how expensive new cars have become hitting a new record in august. the latest numbers from kelley blue book show the average price is around $48,300. a big reason for the higher prices? supply chain strains. ford ceo told me in an exclusive interview yesterday he expects the supply chain challenges to continue well into next year. >> the chips are slightly improving. not resolved yet. many suppliers who aren't chip related are having problems. maintenance, absenteeism. challenging in a different way. >> and while a lot of the talk here is about electric vehicles, ford is not going all in on evs. in fact, it just unveiled this, a new mustang with a combustion or ice engine. >> a lot of other companies will have to get out of the segment but we have the mustang that has allowed us to make

another v8 coup. our ice products are back to the segments where we think electrification will take longer. >> so ford's cross town rival general motors says it is going all electric by 2035, every single new car it makes will be electric. ford says that likely won't happen for its model. certain ones like sports cars such as the mustang and super duty trunks. they think the ice combustion engines will still be needed for years to come. >> bill: enjoy the show. thanks. >> dana: president biden is not concerned about the state of the economy but americans are feeling the squeeze from rising inflation. food prices alone are up more than 11% from a year ago. that's the largest increase in 43 years. 78% of americans say inflation has caused them financial hardship over the last six months. let's bring in maria bartiromo. i want to play the quick sound bite from president biden asked

about his concerns regarding inflation. watch. >> are you worried about the inflation number? >> no, i'm not. we're talking about 1/10 of 1%. anyway, thank you. >> dana: he went on to say the stock market doesn't necessarily affect the state of economy. that's not what people dealing with inflation are thinking about, maria. >> that's right. good morning, dana and bill. the fact is that the stock market is oftentimes a forward-looking indicator and yes, this week we saw president biden celebrating as the market was crashing. we had the worst sell-off in stocks earlier in this week in more than two years and investors were reacting to the hotter than expected numbers. the consumer price index is up 8.3% year-over-year, very elevated numbers and the reason the federal reserve is focused on raising interest rates. the fed will have its next two-day meeting next week and expect them to raise rates by

75 basis points. it is getting more expensive as the fed tries to slam on the brakes that was an economy was growing. how hard will they slam on the brakes and how will that impact job creation? we've already seen technology and wall street firms announce layoffs. it will be the next thing to watch. inflation is a major problem and this morning we got breaking news on the manufacturing sector, industrial production and manufacturing showing declines and worse than expected numbers. we are seeing this inflation story impact the broader macroeconomic story, bill. >> bill: when you describe all that, you think about this inflation number here. you said 3/4 of a point for the fed. some are saying it might be a full point. i don't know what the implications could be if they go a full point but how do we know if inflation is either leveled off or continues to go higher or if indeed it is

dropping? how would we figure that out? what would be the tell for the consumer? >> look, you go out and you order the things that you want to buy and it is much more expensive. look at a dozen eggs, it is up 38% in price year-over-year. somebody yesterday on mornings with maria told me they ordered to grill cheese sandwich and it was $20. i was like what? you are seeing everything get much more expensive and it is creating what we've called demand destruction. case in point, the mortgage rates. housing market is feeling the effects of the higher rates from the federal resort. this week's the fixed 30 year mortgage rate hit 6.1%. double from just a couple months ago. it was cooled the market. people are walking away from deals in terms of buying a new home. that's what the federal reserve wants to see. the issue is, as things worsen and the economy slows, unemployment will go higher, larry summer says we'll have to

see an unemployment rate of 6% at least as the federal reserve takes interest rates higher. i have to add the policy is continuing to drive us into a further inflationary story. remember the polls you showed at the top of this show, show americans think this administration is incompetent. it is also tone deaf because it keeps coming out with more spending. we get news a tentative deal announced with the rail unions. that's going to be more spending and more money in the system. they want a 14.1% wage increase on top of the student loan bail-out on top of the infrastructure spending and manchin/schumer expectations of more spending. no acknowledgement from this administration that all of this spending continues to stoke inflation and the spending needs to stop to have people believe they've actually got inflation under control. you just go to the store and you will see the inflation right in your face.

>> dana: yeah. definitely changing a lot of people's habits based on the polls. 80% of people saying the economy is in fair or poor condition. 80% is a lot. maria, thank you. >> bill: thank you. see you on fox business. meanwhile after much debate, dana, pennsylvania democratic senate candidate john fetterman has agreed to debate dr. oz. there are issues. special report anchor bret baier joins us on that. plus the golden city and the golden state is not as glistening as it once was. how do the people who live in san francisco feel today about their town? you'll find out. no upfront costs at all. let us get your family security of cash in the bank. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhh - here, i'll take that woo hoo

ghost facemask. if you have any information call crimestoppers. >> bill: wow, look at the employees. they are like is my life on the line right now? it might be. and then you see the first guy goes in with a mask, ghost mask you mentioned. you wonder if we did not have the cameras that we have all over this country now whether or not you would have the impact that you are trying to achieve to the nypd by sharing that with the people who live here looking for help. >> dana: i hope they get a tip. >> bill: we have several democrats siding with their republican counterparts in p.a. after a vote in the state house to hold larry krasner in contempt of court after he refused to comply with subpoenas as part of an impreachment investigation. they are blaming him for an

increase in crime and krasner says they are dead wrong in that idea. >> good morning to you. the spike in crime is why progressive d.a. larry krasner is on a possible road to impeachment. philadelphia has more shootings and shooting victims in the past year than any other city including new york and los angeles, two cities with millions more residents. despite that krasner says the increasevation into his office is unconstitutional and politically motivated. >> when and where have you ever heard anyone say that i or the d.a.'s office has committed any crime? they know we haven't. >> bill, krasner is often blamed for the murder of philadelphia police officer james o'connor who you see here. he was killed in 2020. the man who pulled the trigger elliott, a known gang member, was free after accepting a plea deal on gun charges from krasner's office. despite violating his parole

multiple times including an arrest for cocaine remarkably krasner's office let him walk free without bail. elliott is accused of murdering another person before eventually gunning down officer o'connor. here is o'connor's widow. >> it's pretty clear these criminals were out on the street because of our district attorney larry krasner. his slap on the wrist penalties have caused me a lifetime of sorrow. >> look at this as well. his soft on crime policies are blamed for a lot more than that one case. since 2019 homicides in philadelphia are up 58% and robberies with guns up 46%. you mentioned the vote to hold krasner in contempt was bipartisan centering around the validity of a subpoena for the committee's investigation. >> he believes he is firmly above the law and above our general assembly's authority to oversee his office. >> back in 2019 u.s. attorney

william mcswain partially blamed krasner for the shooting of six philadelphia police officers saying he promotes a culture of disrespecting police and vile rhetoric puts officers' lives in danger. >> bill: nate, thanks, night to see you. >> dana: let's bring in a philadelphia radio host. you live there. give us your feeling from on the ground. as an observer and i person i live philadelphia and love visiting. what is it like? >> i will sum it up with your local affiliate fox 29's recent report. delaware county, a cemetery in delaware county is so overrun they can't keep up the grave diggers, they can't keep up literally, dana, with burying and digging the fresh graves to bury those killed by violence in philadelphia. workers at friends southwestern cemetery 90% of new burials

are victims of gun violence in philadelphia. >> dana: philadelphia homocides year by year, last year 562. you can see the increase year-to-date we're only september 15th you are at 386. do you think krasner, the da there, does he bear responsibility? >> it's unquestionably true and you know and i know you will discuss this soon. we have a very, very important gubernatorial and senate race going on and you deal with an attorney general of pennsylvania who wants to be elected governor. you are dealing with a lieutenant governor who wants to be promoted to the united states senate. both of them foster this environment along with krasner. if we had a governor like desantis in florida? we would suspend larry krasner if not arrest him for not

complying with a subpoena. he should show up in harrisburg and answer questions. his refusal to do so should get him suspended if not disbarred. >> dana: this is what he said just about eight months ago about crime in the city. >> we don't have a crisis of lawlessness. we don't have a crisis of crime. we don't have a crisis of violence. important that we don't let this become mushy and bleed into the notion that there is some kind of a big spike in crime. this isn't. there is not a big spike in crime. that is not true. there is also not a big spike in violent crime. neither one of these things is true. >> dana: would the grieving families of these victims agree with that? >> of course not. it is not even necessarily gun violence and homicides. you just have businesses, major retailers that are leaving philadelphia, locking up early and refusing to stay open 24 hours. it is unsafe to stay open and do business after dark in

philadelphia, dana. 63% of philadelphia residents say the city is on the wrong track. 70% say it's because of crimes, drugs and public safety up 30% from two years ago when the same poll asked that same question. and to typify it all, when the mayor of philadelphia after a shooting on the fourth of july says i just can't wait to get out of here and not be mayor anymore. ifm owe so sick of it i can't deal with it anymore that tells you all you need to know. even the guy running the city doesn't want to be here anymore. >> dana: always good to talk to you and we hope things get better there in philadelphia. >> bill: if they feel that way in philly from california, homelessness and crime new survey showing that people in san francisco have had it with their town. san francisco chronicle survey found about a third of those surveyed said they were likely to flee the city in the next three years. 43% it's not getting better and they think san francisco will

be the exact same two years from now. 35% say things might be even worse than they are at the moment, which is a real shame for one of america's greatest towns. pretty place. >> dana: it was certainly one of the best cities in america. hopefully they can turn things around. we'll keep an eye on that one as well. divers who found the body of kiely rodni suspect foul play and why they believe her location in the submerged car is suspicion. the countdown to election day is on. one race is in a california district that biden carried by double digits in 2020 where energy will likely be a top issue on voters' minds. a congressman is joining us next. >> the democrats energy policies have created a crisis due to the rolling black-outs we see.

>> dana: damaging new evidence emerging in former nfl great brett favre's potential involvement in a major welfare scandal. text messages reveal mississippi state officials helped favre divert welfare funds toward a volleyball stadium at his daughter's college. mike tobin is live in the midwest bureau with an update. >> the newly revealed text messages suggest the former nfl quarterback was active in funneling welfare money to build volleyball stadium at the university of southern mississippi where his daughter played volleyball. the governor supported the effort. investigation into misspeending of millions of federal welfare dollars in mississippi say money was funneled through a nonprofit.

5 million went to the construction of the volleyball stadium. 1.1 million according to documents went through favor enterprises with the promise of speaking engagements and promotion that favre would put the money into the stadium. one of the texts in court documents shows a conversation between favre and the director of the nonprofit. in which favre was concerned about the transactions going public. if you pay me, is there any way the media can find out where it came from and how much? the woman responded no, we never have that information published. i understand you being uneasy. texts show the governor supported the project and favre stating the governor is on board. the woman and son have pled guilty. favre was interviewed by the f.b.i. but not charged with anything. former governor bryant has not been charged with anything. the mississippi department of human services is suing favre,

three pro wrestlers, a number of businesses and people to try to recover $20 million of money meant for poor people. dana. >> dana: mike tobin for that update. thank you. >> bill: 54 days until the mid-terms. there was a close race in california that might decide which party controls the house. california republican david valadao is running for a district that favors democrats after newly-drawn lines made it even more blue in 22. david, nice to see you. thank you for your time here. there is a lot of interesting things happening with your race. let's get to a couple things to talk about your impeachment vote in a second. the main issues motivating people to vote here is what was found on the fox news polling. inflation 19%. abortion is at 16%. you have a statewide referendum in california that will be on the ballot in november which could affect some of these races. will it affect yours do you believe? >> you know, i don't see that

one playing as big a role just because people are struggling so much. the median income is a district like mine is $45,000. people are struggling to pay for things. i really do think the kitchen table issues will be the biggest factor in this race. >> dana: one of the things that you get a lot of attention for you did vote to impeach president trump. we have a list here of there were i believe 10, right, four lost their primaries, liz cheney being one of the most well-known. four retired and then two won their primaries. you were one of them. how often does this come up when you are out there campaigning? >> you know, i traveled all across the district eptionly in august putting 1,000 to 1500 miles a week traveling around. it comes up but very rare. most people are focused on the everyday struggles. visiting my schools, keeping kids safe. making sure our farms have water and making sure we

continue to produce energy there. we're on the verge of actually having to do something drastic so we can keep law enforcement employed and keep firefighters fighting fires. >> bill: on the issues, energy in california, a big deal, right? things are changing quickly in california. president biden's job performance on climate change and energy policy. he is on the negative side of that. 51% disapprove. 52% disapprove on energy for various reasons. however, the governor is saying that republicans are just doubling down on stupid policies. give this a listen here. >> double down on stupid and continue to drill and actually do more damage and get us more deep in the mess that we have created that we're trying to get out of. zbli -- >> bill: i want to get an answer on that. how have you been able to win

in democratic districts as a republican? how have you done that? >> focus on kitchen table issues. the problem with gavin new some, he is suing the federal government to prevent more energy production. our region creates 40,000 jobs there. it helps fund law enforcement and helps fund the firefighters and local schools. those are all things that when i go talk to the everyday families, they talk about the need to keep their family safe, firefighters being able to stay in the community and not have to go fight forest fires and this governor is doing everything he possibly can. as soon as our last president passed the biological within an executive order governor newsom sued to prevent that. communities are drying out of water. i have all these towns on the verge of running out of water and he is not helping. he is actually getting in the

way and suing and preventing us from being able to get some sort of policies done that could be beneficial to our communities. for him to focus on republicans when democrats have controlled every statewide elected office and have super majorities in both assembly and senate and still find some way to blame the people who are in the minority is as nine. >> dana: wondering if you think about the people in your district. the work in agriculture or energy and dealing with inflation, are they connecting the dots between the policies of the governor and the current president when you go around and campaign? >> absolutely. monday morning i drove around to different fields and talked to 500 to 600 farm workers. i speak spanish. the man thing they talked about is the high speed rail. they pointed at that and said the state of california can override a lot of environmental regulations to get the project moving quickly but not solve the water problems and the cost of putting gas in their car to

drive to the fields to go pick grapes and we have a huge grape market there. these guys were struggling to make ends meet. they saw the policies and talked about governor newsom being in the way and being willing to eliminate some of the environmental policies when it comes to a stadium in san francisco or los angeles or the high-speed rail but do absolutely nothing for the infrastructure projects we need. i was at a groundbreaking in porterville. they started that project when i was in high school and they expanded at 10 feet and it was necessary but they started that 30 years ago. >> bill: very interesting. >> dana: you know your district very well. >> bill: you have a reputation for the person who keeps his head down and does his work. toss-up race against your opponent and we extend the invitation for your democratic opponent to join us any time. thank you for your time today. >> thanks for having me.

years. what changed? >> 23 years. >> bill: what changed? >> a year ago the baltimore state attorney looked at the case again and she has in the last couple of years exonerated nearly 13 people. it is kind of part of the priority of her work is to take a look at potential innocent cases. when they began reinvestigating i think they saw there were serious problems in the case and the conviction was not sound. >> bill: the prosecutors say let's do a new trial. i don't know if anybody is saying necessarily that there is a wrong verdict here. however, others may argue that. of the two suspects, why are they new to the story? and we're are -- and weren't a part of it 23 years ago? >> i worked on two dozen innocence cases. very common where investigators have tunnel vision and don't look at other suspects and

eliminate them. that's what happened in this case. forensic evidence that could have been tested against lots of suspects and they didn't collect fingerprints, hair, blood samples from any other suspects other than syed. what is prosecutor does in this motion that they filed yesterday is literally lay out a case for his innocence but sait we're not doing looking at the stuff. we have two suspects we think are better for this murder than syed and we're hoping that they make an arrest in the case. >> bill: so our viewers know if they're not familiar with it. he was convicted of murder for his ex girlfriend from 1999 and her name is lee. we had a picture of on screen. a beautiful young lady. do you believe the attention you gave this story brought new information to the case or just new attention? >> no, it uncovered new information and part of the

motion yesterday includes the new information. over the last seven years since the story kind of exploded in the public we have gotten so much new evidence and that's why even if syed would go back to trial we are pretty confident he would be acquitted. the understood evidence, the cell tower evidence is junk science now. >> bill: court filing, right, on the threat of one of the suspects apparently made to lee. one of the suspects threatened her and said he would make her disappear and kill her. how do you make the leap to one of these suspects as being somebody guilty of murder? >> here is the thing. i don't have access to everything the attorney -- state attorney has. what i can guarantee as an attorney myself what they put in the motion is a fraction of

the evidence they've gathered. you have to understand how rare a motion like this is. i don't know if i've seen a prosecutor say not only do we want this conviction vacated but asking he be released without any conditions. they must have strong evidence on the suspects. they won't put all their cards on table for us to see. >> bill: thank you for your time running it down for us. we'll see what happens. something will give, we know that. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> bill: bye-bye. >> dana: after weeks of debate about debates in the pennsylvania senate race john fetterman agreed to a televised face-off against dr. oz. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning. a lot of these big debates coming up in the senate races, the country will be watching them. >> dana: they have become national. >> bill: so the date for the big debate in p.a. is october 25. two weeks before election day. thousands
