psy psychologically it is better. >> what are you apologizing for, i am so sorry i misunderstood you, i am so sorry i took up your time. you are articulating why, so it is not reflex. >> i prefer when it is me or someone else apologizing that they make action to change what got them there. otherwise, saying you're sorry over and over and not changing is the definition of manipulation. >> thanks, guys. here is "america reports." >> thank you very much, emily. governor's races that democrats once thought were in the bag or tightening across the country. republicans gain ground in several states as crime becomes a top issue for midterm voters. >> john: look no further than new york where the crime crisis is making the blue state competitive. republican lee zeldin looking to unseat kathy hochul. how does he plan to shore up last minute support with 12 days until the midterms? we ask zeldin when he

joins us coming up. >> sandra: all right. first, a fox news alert to the economy. the numbers may not tell the full story. a new report shows the economy growing between july and september after falling two straight quarters as americans fight the worst inflation in 40 years ahead of an expensive winter heating season. hello. i am sandra smith, hi, john. >> john: that is putting it it mildly. john robert in washington. good to be with you. this is "america reports." the labor department says gdp grew, but experts warn the u.s. is not out of the woods yet and recession is a distinct possibility over the next year. >> sandra: president biden still trying to capitalize on the rosy picture he keeps painting ahead of midterm elections, painting republicans as the party that will crash the american economy. biden speaking to reporters as he was departing the white house on the way to syracuse saying the gdp report this morning was great and things are looking good. >> john: you don't have to

run, mr. president, the helicopter will wait for you. the political panel, shawn duffy, harold ford jr. react in moments. >> sandra: you have them laughing. first, jackie hy1n1 rick. he will be greeted by the current governor, kathy hochul. >> no kidding. on his way out didn't say too much, just that the report is great, things are looking good. while it might be true at first glance, the 2.6%, considerable gain from first and second quarters of negative growth. the 2.6% was made up almost entirely by increased exports and government spending. and economists think that will drop off in the fourth quarter, and also consumer spending is slowing down and that constitutes up to 70% of the u.s. economy. so it is a warning sign there. and the white house is

instead highlighting a bright spot, the president saying data shows in the third quarter incomes were up and price increases in the economy came down, but then he pivots to attack republicans. less than two weeks out from the midterms, the white house has shifted messaging approach away from the near exclusive focus on abortion to now addressing voters' most pressing concern, inflation, and painting republicans as a worse alternative. >> what's the choice. republican leaders in congress have said if they get control of congress, they're going to repeal the inflation reduction act, cut taxes for corporations, raise the deficit, that will make inflation worse. >> today, the president is headed to syracuse to a semiconductor chip manufacturing to makeup ground on the campaign trail with a blitz of virtual appearances last night. >> tonight president biden went on the campaign trail stumping for democrats. i say he went on the campaign trail, what i mean is he spent the

evening on zoom attending virtual receptions on behalf of three candidates, with less than two weeks until election day. experts say momentum has shifted to republicans and biden is literally phoning it in. >> in those phone calls the president talked a lot about bringing down gas prices and he went after big oil as he has recently. what we haven't heard a lot from him or the white house is the budding diesel crisis. high costs for diesel, passed into goods and driving inflation because of shipping costs and the u.s. is down to 25 day reserve supply of diesel. northeast states are already rationing home heating oil. the white house is preparing the rarely used northeast home heating oil reserve if the situation gets dire. sandra? >> okay. and the lawn mowers cued behind you. thank you very much.

>> what i thought was high last week was nothing compared to this week. >> we just got a bill. i got 71 gallons and what did it cost, cost me $375. >> i can only put on so many sweaters. >> voters across the northeast sounding the alarm over rising energy bills, warning it will be a struggle to keep their houses warmth winter. correspondent laura ingalls has more. what are people on long island saying about how they're going to handle the costs this coming winter, laura? >> hey, john. some homeowners we have been talking to on long island are ready to make major budget cuts because they know what is coming down the pike. some of them told us that they already called their home oil heating companies to set up payments for this winter. they know how bad it is going to be. more people used heating oil in the northeast than anywhere else in the country. we have been following

rob, making deliveries, seeing oil trucks roll through neighborhoods is a common sight, but it is costing homeowners nearly twice as much as what they paid last year. the owner of family fuel and heating service where rob is the owner says his consumers are really concerned. >> now the prices have gone astronomically high. prices for typical consumers to pay normal delivery, usually 170, 180 gallons, used to be 5, 600, now it is a thousand or 1100. >> according to st. louis federal reserve, the average was 4.81 a gallon, up 60% compared to last year. some wholesalers in connecticut put retailers on allocation, allowing them to buy limited amount based on supply. industry experts call it a potentially developing crisis as they look ahead to the coming months. >> what concerns us is a

severe cold snap in january when transportation issues may impact supply or a storm which could erupt in the gulf at this point. our concern is it could further strain supplies. >> homeowners make out their budget, energy experts are saying time to think about how you will conserve. you heard it at the top, i can only put on so many sweaters. that's the reality people are looking at in the coming months. john? >> john: going to be a tough winter, no question. laura ingle, thank you. >> sandra: bring in harold ford jr. is here. awesome to have you days to election day. the reaction, harold, to what we have been reporting on for weeks leading up to winter, this is going to be really tough on folks. you look at the political implications of possibly not being able to afford

to heat your home, or making choices between food and fuel, that could effect a lot of people's choices in november. >> i don't think there's any doubt. i mean, the economic report you have been reporting on and started the show demonstrate that the fed is going to have a tough choice to make after the november meeting. how do they calibrate going forward from zero in march to almost 5% now. interest rates going up, mortgage rates going up, and the very real reality of what families do across new england. i didn't factor in as heavily as i should have the conversation about how weather could impact this over the next several months as well. i hope that the white house and i hope congress, whatever the composition looks like after november, we need a new energy policy in the country. democrats have to swallow fossil fuel energy and clean energy. everyday americans need them to. we need an adult strategy. the fed alone can't curb inflation, it takes

regulatory and fiscal policy married to it. >> yet you're about to see the president take, you know, take the microphone in syracuse alongside kathy hochul where new yorkers are struggling, you have an exodus of people from this state because of the economic and crime perils residents are facing, and he is going to paint a rose oh picture, but inflation is still a 40 year high. he is going to try to make the case, the white house has told us, that republicans are going to be bad for the economy, they'll crash the economy, in fact, you heard ron klain, repeal the inflation reduction act, and this is eventually leading to higher inflation. to that you say? >> that's a great number, but the american people aren't feeling that number as you mention in the report coming from exports and government spending. again, people are feeling a bad economy and rising prices. again, it was only two years ago people lived through the donald trump era, saw how great the economy was, how much money they made, how much opportunity there was at

the doorstep for them and their families. to say the republicans will crash the economy, they did no such thing. harold mentioned interest rates. the reason the fed has to raise interest rates is the government spent $5 trillion on top of regular spending over the last two years, so you've seen rampant inflation. so the fed raises rates, has to crash the economy and people suffer all the way through. >> in fairness, i hear you, but 2.9 trillion of the 5 trillion was spent under president trump. we had a pandemic, we have a war we're dealing with. if i am going to allocate blame, happy to do that, but we have a real problem in the country. whatever the makeup of congress is after november or december 8th depending on runoffs, we need people that want to govern, that will sit down, get in a room. one thing is for certain, joe biden is not going anywhere. if the congress changes, i encourage democrats and republicans alike. we have a problem that won't be solved by rhetoric. >> sandra: fair point.

and if you're an economist, i'll let you respond, you look out in the future, harold, which everyone should be, economists certainly should. what we are living in now may not be a year or two from now if the economy is any indication. the past year of mortgage rates we can put on the screen shows how far things have come. really this is an effort to bring inflation down. raise interest rates, brings up the interest rates on mortgages in this country, brings on economic pain so you crimp consumer spending which showed up in the report this morning, so what is to come, shawn, is a big question. by the way, these mortgage rates that we're now seeing we have not seen in 20 years. we also have that chart showing we're above 7% for the first time going back to the early 2000s, so this will be a quickly changing housing market for many. >> and robbing people of the american dream. young people going out with first jobs, wanting to buy or rent their first

home and can't afford it because rates are so high. also they're paying more for necessities of life, food, gas, used car, they can't afford it. you'll see it ripple through the economy and especially young americans that haven't bought a first home yet. >> sandra: hopefully a lot of folks are. real quick, five seconds for each of you. 12 days out, what's the forecast, house, senate? >> i think both chambers flip. i think the night will be better for republicans and polsters and fox is saying. when things happen, they break hard. >> that was ten second. harold. >> the house will go republican, i think districts redrawn in a way it advantages republicans. not as dead set on the senate, momentum is in favor of republicans. >> sandra: well done, gentlemen. good to have you. >> glad to be here, john.

>> john: always glad to be here, i am always glad harold is here. back to the interest rates, it is really going to effect the housing market, first time home buyers. housing prices were squeezing enough of them out of the market. increased housing prices and increased cost of buying and carrying a house, that's going to hurt people. >> sandra: it is important to ask people if they're in an adjustable rate mortgage because right now, i shouldn't say only, it is about 10%, and that's a lot of people could be effected as rates continue to go higher. shawn is dropping pens. >> john: the nypd is investigating after a crowded city bus was stolen this morning by a man armed with a fake gun. shades of speed. police say he boarded a bus in queens after 7:00 a.m., acting erratically. the driver managed to get all the passengers off the

bus before they the driver continued on. the busy ven actually crashed after the driver jumped out, the gunman took control of the wheel, taking down a utility pole, knocking out power in the area. the suspect was taken into custody by responding police officers. kiana reflects, sandra bullock, nowhere in sight. >> sandra: russia calculated attacks on ukraine on 40% of the country's power grid. now a new claim by russia could further escalate that fight. >> john: and the probe of hunter biden's business dealings. republican senators provide new evidence for the investigation. will the justice department still sit on its hands? former secretary of state mike pompeo joins us on all of this coming up next. >> it is very damaging. there is no doubt that hunter biden was part of a chinese intelligence mission that was trying to gather as much information as possible about joe biden.

>> when the nuclear weapons exist, there's always a danger of them being used. >> russian president vladimir putin talking about potential use of nuclear weapons in his speech at a forum in moscow. it comes as his government continues to push and to push unfounded claims that ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb within its own borders. fox team coverage. former secretary of state mike pompeo will join us in just a moment. we begin with senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot. >> yes, some tough talk and tough action from russia as we find the fighting here is

intensifying. russian president vladimir putin using that gathering about moscow based think tank to blast the u.s. and west for frankly all the troubles in the region and the world, calling the next decade the most dangerous since world war ii. here is more of what he had to say. >> world domination is what the so-called west bets on in its game, but that game is without a doubt a dangerous, bloody and filthy one. >> this as russia's dangerous strategy of knocking out ukraine's power spy is picking up more attacks overnight on energy infrastructure here in kyiv, forcing the city to impose even more rolling blackouts, to conserve electricity as the cold winter approaches. in the key southern city of kherson, a battle could be looming as ukrainian forces make a move to take it back from russian control. there are signs, though, that moscow won't give up without a fight and reinforcements are coming to the frontlines.

as they play games at the border, more loose talk, putin repeating the claim ukraine is ready to set off a radioactive dirty bomb, the concern is moscow will. that country could knock u.s. satellites out of the sky because they're helping ukrainian. sandra, this is the fourth time i have been here this year and this conflict only gets more dangerous and more challenging. back to you. >> sandra: greg palkot, live in kyiv. thank you. john. >> john: bring in former secretary of state mike pompeo, also a fox news contributor, author of the book "never give an inch." putin making plenty of news, putin saying this is the most dangerous decade since the end of world war ii, saying he has no regrets about invading ukrainian and accusing the west of inciting the war. unpack what he is saying

here. >> john, it is great to be with you. my sense is this is not too dissimilar from what we have seen putin do before. the more he puts forth propaganda, first to acknowledge he doesn't plan to use a dirty bomb. supporters said it is not only unsupported, it is not true. the folks who threatened to use nuclear weapons are him. he thinks it is the most dangerous decade in front of us, that is because of him and actions he took. an aggressive war. he wasn't in risk in moscow. there haven't been attacks into moscow. this is vladimir putin's aggressive action against europe, bringing it on himself. when he begins to talk this way, i think it suggests he knows he is further cornered and options are more and more limited by the day. >> john: ukraine says they have no intention to set off a bomb, putin says he

has no intention of setting off a dirty bomb. by warning of this, first time he picked up the warnings himself today, what's his game here? is he trying to escalate, set a pretext for potentially using a tactical nuclear weapon in ukraine? >> it could be either. the latter is more likely. you recall months ago as this kicked off in the spring, putin did kind of the same thing. he would talk about the ukrainians attacking cities and schools and using missiles and turned around and did exactly that, he was the one towing civilians. this kind of tactic, trying to obfuscate what's happening is straight out of the russian play book, whether that's the help ands or the private army in the field now. this is pretty typical of the way the revolutionary guards -- russians conduct war fare. to make a claim about his

adversary that reflects what he is contemplating doing. >> john: i want to turn to china and new information involving hunter biden's business dealings with cefc, the chinese entity. chuck grassly and johnson sent a letter to the committee investigating saying the dodge and rice are slow walking the investigation. they provided him with 200 pages of hunter biden's bank records saying today in light of your and doj failure to respond to the congressional oversight request as part of the ongoing congressional investigation, we transmit over 200 pages of records relating to the biden family connections to the chinese regime and persons connected to its military and intelligence elements. they claim they have bank records that show there are business dealings between hudson west 3 and cefc, now run by chinese

communist party. do you believe there was malfeasance in hunter biden's business dealings and more importantly, do you believe there was any involvement on the part of president joe biden? >> well, the dodge has to get to the bottom of this. the fact that members of congress, frankly, members of congress in the minority party are sending documents to doj sounds like they may not have had suggests that they are not at all investigating what is a potential serious counter intelligence failure. cefc, the company you mentioned is a chinese operated and controlled communist party controlled entity, and to the extent the president of the united states' son was engaged in a business activity with them requires a lot of hard questions be asked, not only of hunter biden himself but the president, too. anybody who may have around it. i haven't seen the letters and documents but if there's connectivity, he needs to be asked what was going on. we have seen this, john, seen the communist party

go after the united states, they went after at least one congressman, dodge unsealed a handful of indictments what they're doing inside the country, the fact that they may have been trying to influence someone who was running for president or now become the president is a serious allegation. senators grassley and johnson are serious men working on this for a long time, the fact that they now have documents to show it means department of justice has to take on that responsibility. i have seen no evidence that they'll do that except when it is the other party. i hope they'll actually do their job. it is outrageous they have not. >> john: see what, if anything, should the dodj do. thanks for being here. >> great to be here. >> sandra: how far will human smugglers go to get immigrants across the border, fox obtaining exclusive new video. a wild police chase involving a stolen bucket truck. we'll take you inside the battle to control the

border. >> john: and the crime crisis making new york governor's race tighter than extremisted. congressman lee zeldin says hochul's policies made the streets unsafe. zeldin joins us in moments and tells me why he is the right candidate for the job. >> i don't think i am alone, a lot of democrats are supporting zeldin, it is less clean, it is less affordable. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reaction may occur. best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx®.

all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work,

helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive. >> john: with 12 days to go to november 8th, will republican congressman lee zeldin be able to win over voters in the deep blue state of new york. in minutes, we'll ask him why he is expecting to ring in the new year in the governor's mansion. but first. officials at the southern border report more migrant apprehensions are ending in dangerous police chases, like this exclusive fox news video. police in texas say 15

migrants took off in a stolen bucket truck before they were caught. dave ford is in eagle pass, texas. how did the chase end? >> hey, john. 11 of 15 migrants were apprehended but four got away. unfortunately this is the norm in the border communities. the small town where you saw that chase play out, a town of well under a thousand people, the police chief tells me they're averaging a chase every single day, but certainly not all of them are in stolen bucket trucks. look at the video. migrants led police on a chase of two miles when they take a right-hand turn, go off the road, into the woods. police following not a high speed chase, but as the truck comes to the stop, you see the four migrants that got away jump off the bucket truck, they go into the surrounding brush, but the agent responding comes out with weapons drawn and they apprehend the 11

remaining migrants and i tell you what, john, they found them in dangerous, crammed places inside the bucket truck. you see one place here where multiple migrants were hiding, and unfortunately this is not the only example of that. look at the next video, also from the police department, they found two migrants jammed in an empty fuel reserve tank in the back of this pickup truck. almost no oxygen for them to breathe. listen to the police chief explain this. >> had two undocumented citizens crammed inside, that was their source of air, that little hole right there. >> scary stuff. on top of human smuggling, large groups continue passing. this split screen shows you this morning in eagle pass and the surrounding areas. the video on the left from eagle pass, that group of 300 before sunrise and normally 200, combined 500

migrants crossing illegally, many single adult men from cuba and many from colombia. we are learning out here live, john, that border patrol agents in eagle pass where we are today on sunday arrested a mexican national after he triggered a camera on a local ranch and they found over 22 pounds of drugs on him, including five and a half pounds of fentanyl. we'll send it back to you. >> john: nate, thank you. sandra? >> thanks, john. 12 days out from midterm elections, and democrats in deep blue new york may have some big problems. the race for governor between incumbent kathy hochul and congressman lee zeldin is tightening by the day, and republicans tried to make the election a referendum on hochul's soft on crime policies. bring in candidate for new york governor lee zeldin. thanks so much for joining us. good to have you here today. 12 days out we have seen the polls. we know how deeply blue the state is. you look back at the

presidential election results of 2020, president biden won by 60%. somehow this is an incredibly close race. how do you feel 12 days out about potential for victory? >> we are feeling great, we have all the momentum and kathy hochul is running a terrible campaign, we're out with the people. we had rallies in utica, liverpool, we have rallies today in rochester and in buffalo, big crowds coming out. we are spending our days from early in the morning until late at night with the people, and it is republicans, democrats, independents together as united as one as new yorkers trying to save the state. when we got into the race, we talked about how to make the streets safer, life in new york more affordable. here we are at the end of october, we're talking about these issues and the need to repeal laws like cashless bail, to have attorneys actually doing their job rather than letting violent criminals

run free on the streets. there are crushing taxes, sky high costs, new yorkers struggling to feed their family and heat their homes. we are talking real life everyday issues affecting new yorkers and kathy hochul wants to talk about everything else. people are deciding we need balance, common sensory stored to albany. we have to save our state. it is not going to work with one party rule in albany. we are going to win this in 12 days. >> we are about to see kathy hochul there in seer cuss and say how believes republicans will crash the economy if that's a change in power in november. i want to get your reaction to a piece the "new york times" published about an hour ago, congressman, taking on one of the top issues for voters in this state and your promise to remove alvin bragg from office day one. it is challenging saying zeldin wouldn't be able to

show mr. bragg the door, it grants the power to remove certain public officers but calls for those facing removal to be given charges against them and an opportunity to defend themselves. bragg's office can be expected to fight any effort, and he won with 84% of the vote just a year ago, presenting a very unique, interesting moment here. congressman, are you prepared for that fight considering your promises to remove him? >> yeah, absolutely. listen, first thing i'm doing the first day in office is notifying alvin bragg he is going to be removed. new york state we do not have recall elections but we do have written into new york state constitution that the governor has the authority to remove a district attorney who refuses to enforce the law. alvin bragg said from day one as district attorney across the board he was not going to enforce all different kinds of crimes and other crimes he was

treating as lesser included offenses. he is just not doing his job. acting like da stands for defense attorney instead of district attorney. it is my duty. he wants to have a hearing, he wants a process, we're talking about days, not weeks. so maybe he is able to figure out how to stay on a few more days and will do that to make sure it stands up in court. i am telling you, first day in office, i will be notifying him he will be removed. if he wants a hearing, i am not looking to delay it out. we all know what he is accused of. i have been talking about it all the campaign. he is welcome to state his case, but he doesn't have a strong one and he needs to be a defense attorney because that's how he is acting. >> sandra: that's what you are offering about the high crime in the city and state. you often point out exodus

of people from the state. i had a poll exactly what's happening, we lost this state lost the most people over just the course of a year, from 2020 to 2021, people are fleeing. what's the plan to stop that? >> so understanding the breaking point. the reason new york leads the nation in population loss is because the safety, freedom, quality of the kids' education are under attack. when we have the conversation about making streets and subways safer, appealing cashless bail as an example of one of many different pro-criminal laws being passed. i pledged day one i will declare a state of emergency on crime in new york and i would suspend new york cashless bail law and some pro-criminal laws and make the state legislature come to the table and work out fixes. and this isn't republican versus democrat. even mayor eric adams says judges should have discretion to weigh

dangerousness, and raise the age to be amended. i think it is will of the people that needs to be heard by members of the state legislature by us winning this race. new yorkers are saying life in new york is not affordable, it is not safe enough, instead of a transaction about freedoms where government takes away freedoms, maybe it is time for government to give freedoms back. we saw it with the vaccine mandate, where she brought up the nursing homes, two boards she regrets saying. we know what we need to do to get this reversed. i think we'll zoo it with impact on population loss. people tell me lee, if you don't win, i am leaving. and it happens every day. it truly is a campaign to save new york. >> sandra: all right. you clearly are winning over vote considering how close this is in such a deeply blue state. we also, by the way, have an inflation problem in this state.

the inflation rate is well above the national average. you have a lot of challenges if you pull off victory. for right now we are watching this race closely. we appreciate you joining us, congressman. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> sandra: john? >> john: not just crime in new york that's a problem. look at this. a california family terrorized after a pick ax wielded woman takes frustrations out on their new home's windows. how close she came to hitting the family's baby with one of the shards of glass. >> sandra: that's unbelievable. police in iowa opening a new investigation into a possible serial killer that may have buried up to 70 bodies in his backyard. wait until you hear who tipped them off. ash? with the newday 100 loan, there are no upfront costs for appraisal or termite inspections. no upfront costs at all to get the cash you need. veterans get more at newday.

>> sandra: investigators in iowa are looking into one woman's claims her father was a serial killer

she said he killed five or six women a year and buried roughly 70 bodies around the home. garrett, what do investigators know about this so far? >> at this point investigators believe there are human remains buried in this area, but what they don't know is how many and whether or not it is related to a potentially previously unknown serial killer. she claims over 30 years her father killed between 50 and 70 women and would often force her and siblings to help bury bodies in and around the well on the rural piece of farm land in the small town of youthurmond, iowa. last week they took cadaver dogs and had hits. it is hard to believe two dogs would hit in the same places and be false. we don't know what it is. there's indian country there as well. i tend to believe lucy.

she told the outlet her father who died in 2013 found most victims in omaha, about 40 miles away, and most of them were hookers or run aways which may explain why their disappearances hadn't raised many flags. lucy claims she tried telling police, teachers, priests about all of this for years, but, quote, no one would listen to me. the teacher said family matters should be handled as family, and law enforcement said they couldn't trust the memory of a child. i was a kid then, but i remember it all. the fbi and state police are taking part in the investigation as well. the next steps could include a much more intensive search of the former home using cadaver dogs, sonar, metal detectors to determine if there are, in fact, bodies there. >> garrett tenney, thank you. >> john: new video of a wild shootout in philadelphia, look at this. putting a sharp focus on

rising crime and safety. why it is a key issue for midterm voters, how it could make a big difference in the pennsylvania senate race. >> sandra: and anxiety reportedly growing in the white house over who will control congress after the midterm elections as president biden mostly stays on the sidelines in the final stretch before election day, he is in syracuse today. byron york ahead. >> there have been bnt many candidates campaigning with you. >> not true, 15. count. >> are there going to be even more? >> yeah.

>> john: president biden treading lightly on the campaign trail, keeping mostly to the sidelines for midterms, anxiety is reportedly growing among democrats and within the white house that republicans will capture at least one chamber of congress and potentially both. byron i don't recollect, political correspondent for the washington examiner. new article in politico says the halls of the white house are rife with anxiety over the midterms and you look at the polls and the way things are shifting, they're right to be. >> the thing to remember from a white house perspective, president biden is not a popular president.

job approval rating is 43%. presidents with that job approval rating do not pick your opinion seats in midterm elections. it just doesn't happen. you have to remember the house in particular is teetering on the edge. republicans win six seats, they win control of the house. >> john: approval rating in the 40s, that's generous compared to reuters and ipsos. finds 39% versus disapproval 55%. if republicans take control of one or both chambers, what happens to biden's agenda? >> either chamber, biden's legislative agenda to what extent he has one is dead, gone. he has to compromise with republicans if he is going to get anything passed. as far as the senate itself is concerned, the senate has the constitutional authority to confirm the president's nominees. so if he lost the house, the legislative agenda goes away. but if he keeps the

senate, say there's a supreme court vacancy, control of the senate would be hugely important for the president to keep. >> john: in 1994 bill clinton lost control of both houses of congress and it stayed that way the rest of his presidency, yet he found a way to work with republicans to get things done. is it possible for biden to do that or is he destined to be hobbled and potentially a lame duck. >> possible, but i am not sure. the democratic leadership council was a group of moderate democrats after losing the presidency three years said maybe we really are soft on crime, maybe we're soft on comm communism, we need to move to center. bill clinton did that. having newt gingrich running the house helped him do that. president joe biden, whatever his centrist sensibilities might be has a base, a democratic base that is far more to the left than bill clinton had

in the 1990s. >> john: biden is in upstate new york, he and kamala harris go to pennsylvania tomorrow. the party is relying far more on barack obama in closing days than they are on joe biden. >> well, he is a popular president. >> john: that's the difference. >> he knocks it out of the park when he goes to a democratic convention. he still excites democratic voters. there are some progressives that felt that obama didn't do enough but generally in broad terms he is very popular with the democratic party, more so than any current president could really be. >> john: 12 days left to go. see how it shakes out. great to see you. >> sandra: are you footing the bill to help the rest of the world get greener? larry kudlow has plenty to say. and kellyanne conway. and looking back at superstorm sandy ten years after it ravaged the northeast. all of that and more as "america reports" rolls into another hour.
