the beach and five hours later percy had it and it's like there he goes again. i think my dog has a problem. that's my fault but please when you are smoking marijuana, put it away is all we ask. thank you doctor, thank you so much. have a good weekend. switching gears. violent crime hitting home for nancy pelosi. somebody broke into her house and brutally attacking her husband, paul pelosi. i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning. sweet man that doctor. >> dana: percy. >> bill: my god son has to get it something, all right? this attack taking place earlier today in san francisco. don't know the exact time but paul pelosi is in the hospital. speaker pelosi was in europe at the time. her spokesman says mr. pelosi expected to make a full recovery. want to get to leo terrell. there is a lot we do not know, okay? the a.p. says he was severely

beaten. we don't know how he got in or whether he was let in or if he knew paul pelosi, or a complete stranger. but the write-up is that quote the motivation is still under investigation. want to be a little careful on this story. we don't know yet or how he will pull out of it, leo. >> first of all, i hope he has a full recovery. that's the first thing i want to say. secondly, i believe there is also a suspect in custody. but the bigger problem, bill, is simply this. crime does not discriminate. rich or poor, black or white, city, suburbs, every where. it is every where. the number one issue in this country. and i think what democrats need to do. this is a wake-up call. you are talking about san francisco. bill, california, san francisco, l.a. is the heart and soul of crime. crime is permitted in this state and in a lot of blue cities. i think at this particular time a couple of weeks before mid-terms it is a number one issue in california and

throughout the country. people want to be safe. >> dana: interestingly, i believe that the suspect is in custody and say they are looking into and investigating what the motive was. some of these crimes don't get solved because you actually don't have the suspect. in this case they do? >> yes, dana. the reports are that he is in custody. the key is this. will he be released? will he get back on the streets? let's look at fox news has done a tremendous job of pointing out these repeated offenders. we need to know a lot about this person but will he be released? we have that no cash bail rule in california. people, career criminals are back on the street. again, democrat voters, democrat politicians this is a wake-up call. crime is every where. it does not discriminate. it is interesting to see what will happen to this suspect again speedy recovery for paul pelosi. will it change the democratic position on crime? i don't think so but i hope so.

>> bill: great point about the bail and progressive d.a. in san francisco and the amount of headlines the d.a. has generated. we were rattling off the number of public figures who have been victims of crime in the last year, right? you had the case in l.a., karen bass, wants to be mayor had guns stolen out of her house. here in new york lee zeldin in long island, gunshots fired outside of his home with his two daughters home at the time. the point being it reaches in every where and does not discriminate. >> absolutely. basically these criminals have a license. they read the news and know they will be released so they are bold. they know they'll get back out and these individuals, that subway incident. how many times was that individual released? this is the problem with democratic soft on crime george soros back prosecutors and it will get worse until they

change. i hope voters wake up and drive these democratic soft on crime prosecutors out of duty. >> dana: another thing, leo. just in the mid-term debate as both parties have gone back and forth on crime democrats focused a lot on gun crime. that is a problem but even in this case in particular, he was violently beaten. >> absolutely. first of all, dana, you know as well as i do and bill knows as well that talking point on gun control is a talking point for democrats every time there is victims of crime. they always talk about gun control. but this did not involve a gun. this involved someone breaking in and violently without a gun assaulting paul pelosi. it is an issue of crime. and what has to happen is that there cannot be no denial of this. democrats are talking up crime in the last two weeks before the mid-terms. too little too late, dana.

>> bill: we'll see what details emerge from this. >> dana: we don't know if there was a gun involved. we'll find out. >> bill: the point bill barr was making this week. those who commit crimes is such a small percentage but they do it over and over and over again and drive the numbers higher. if you change the policy, you have a shot at driving it back down. thank you for your time in l.a. more details when we get them. thank you, leo terrell. >> dana: democrats are bracing to lose some high profile races in florida telling "politico" it will be ugly. all signs point in a republican landslide. shannon bream also knows a lot about florida. what's going on down there? >> well, democrats are very worried. there has been this shift even among registered voters. republicans have a 300,000 advantage of people who are registered voters there for their party. a shift in florida. it is one of those states we've watched closely in presidential

elections and got a ton of unwanted attention in 2000. because of that they had major makeovers to laws there with response to counting votes, handling votes, getting numbers and decisions in as quickly as possible. that allows them to track as well the shifts in the voter registration and for republicans they are feeling very good including in very blue miami-dade county in the south where democrats concede that desantis could potentially win that. >> bill: if he does, shannon, that would be a 20-point swing from where he was in that county from four years ago. we'll watch that. we mentioned "politico." here is one clip from that. most worrisome for dems, they have all but abandoned their candidates setting off fears florida is no longer competitive and dire implications for the next presidential elections. rcp average desantis leading crist by 11 points in that race for governor. the senate race demings and rubio.

rubio has an average lead of seven points there. if this goes that way it is almost like you take florida off the map. we've been watching it for 20 years and if these results come back that way, florida has gone red. >> yeah, you think about states like new york, california, this current climate we assume there will be big democrat prizes with electoral votes and house seats and all those kinds of things. florida as a totally red state potentially is leaning that way but it has vacillated so much. democrats have had strongholds. we'll see after the round of mid-terms but interesting looking to the 2024 picture. so much of what happens in florida will have national implications whether former president trump there or governor desantis getting into the race, whether the former president having this rally with senator marco rubio and desantis wasn't invited.

who knows. so much in florida will have ripple effects for 2024. i don't think democrats if they are smart won't completely write it off. >> dana: in pennsylvania the republicans believe if they win the senate race there they win the majority in the senate. here is chuck schumer on a hot mic yesterday talking to biden. watch here. >> dana: what are you hearing about that and are you talking about it this sunday? >> we will. you will probably see that clip more than once on sunday with some of the guests we have. you guys know the senate majority leader, chuck schumer is no novice about politics. was it for cameras and microphones? not only was he managing expectations but a message more broadly what they expect their chances are? i have to wonder because he is

so politically savvy whether it was more than just that. >> bill: you are also the chief legal correspondent, too, shannon. a case before the u.s. supreme court out of harvard. "new york post." campus diversity, they write, is a scam used to promote reverse racism. let's get to it. many other universities they write now mimic harvard's system of demoteing asian american applicants. the princeton review cautions college applicants not to include a picture if they look asian and to avoid discussing immigrant heritage. if it were happened to a favored minority the nation would be in a moral uproar. the court has taken on things like this before? how is this different? >> well, what we have now is a different plaintiff group. asian-americans coming together say we may have higher test scores or gpas but we aren't credited the same way with

applicants who come in as african-american, hispanic latino background and say they are getting reverse discrimination. universities say we aren't doing it. it is harvard and unc. they say we are having a more diverse student body and asking the court to continue letting them do that. what the court has done in this affirmative action issue. race can be one of a holls particular set of circumstances and background and things that you consider but the asian american students say it is cutting the wrong way for them and winding up that they're dropping in the number of spots they can obtain when they say they have higher academic credentials. colleges look at more than just that. >> dana: interesting. the supreme court will hear that case and could have repercussions across the country. thank you for that and we'll see you on "fox news sunday." >> bill: get ready. you'll work a lot, all right? it's that season. thank you, shannon. see you on "fox news sunday." ten minutes past the hour he

said, tried to say. >> dana: tried to say he is ready to move onto the next thing. here we go. that's you. >> bill: elon musk $44 billion take over is finally complete. he kicked off ownership by firing many of the site's top executive including the ceo. we have the run down from l.a. good morning. >> good morning. ceo is said to get a big pay out of $40 million. musk tweeted last night he said the bird is freed. now comes the real work turning twitter into the platform he envisions. he brought in tesla engineers to review what changes the platform is going to need and also indicated he will immediately start addressing content moderation and tweeted this in response to a user claiming they've been shadow banned. he will be digging in today. he also shared this letter with advertisers. i want to share a quote with

you. gives the sense of where he is going. it is important for the future of civilization to have a common digital town square where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy matter but can't become a free for all hell scape. most imminent decision on the table will be whether former president trump is let back on the platform. musk shared he doesn't support permanent bans and it could be extremely impactful with the mid-terms just days away. trump sharing i am very happy that twitter is in sane hands but i love truth social. some advertisers wasted no time making it clear they will pause ads if he were to be let back on the platform but it will become the heart of the debate. what content is off limits. what is violence inducing? what are the consequences. kanye west's twitter was put back on this morning. i think we can expect a lot of

fireworks in what now becomes part two of the saga. >> bill: interesting developments and see what the company becomes. kelly, thanks. kelly o'grady in l.a. >> dana: to san francisco. live photographs video excuse me out of san francisco outside of nancy pelosi's home as we've been reporting in the early hours of the morning in california, at their home, paul pelosi, nancy pelosi's husband, was violently beaten. he was then taken to the hospital. he is expected to make a full recovery. that's the good news here. also good development is that they have the suspect in custody and there is an investigation underway to determine the motive. the speaker was not in san francisco as you can imagine this close to the mid-term elections she is out and about traveling the country trying to help democrats out there. right now we're waiting for more information. live pictures outside her home

in san francisco. >> bill: a few days ago she was in croatian and more stops in europe. a beautiful part of san francisco. if you can live in pacific heights it is one of the best places in america. however, the rest of the city you could argue hasn't been that way. there is a district called tender loin. it is still a mess with drugs and crime and all of that you will be hearing about and so many other great american towns. the a.p. says he was severely beaten. that's the language they used. it didn't come from the statement. the statement, however, does say the motivation is under investigation. what happened here, who was this person we do not know. as dana pointed out, the suspect has been arrested. >> dana: yes. they will continue to do this investigation to find out who it was. we're working on -- do we have sound from a neighbor? this is a neighbor of paul pelosi. >> we don't want to hear anyone

is attacked at all, much less, you know, paul pelosi. >> bill: he has been in the news a lot. go back to the dui in napa county where they also have a home about an hour and what 30 minutes without traffic, i would say, due north. so we'll let you know about paul pelosi's condition and about the police and their investigation, which will yield a lot of stuff that we frankly don't know right now. stand by for that. >> dana: he is expected to have a full recovery. that's the good news of this story. >> bill: we'll get back to the story as the sun comes up in california. immigration could flip the house this mid-term cycle. the hot button issue at the center of many toss-up races like one in particular in northeastern pennsylvania. one to watch. you will meet the candidate coming up next here. >> dana: a surge as mass groups of migrants cross into the united states. former acting dhs secretary

blames biden's failures for the mess at the border. >> it is too little too late. what they're seeing, the one they took against the venezuelans perhaps could work but it is just a small drop in the bucket.

>> bill: turn to one of the watches, northern western p.a. is a swing district. a trump administration political appointee hoping to unseat cartwright. a rematch from new year's ago. cartwright has a six point lead. the republican joins us now. good say to you, we say it is one to watch. it closes early in the night east coast time zone. this is northeastern

pennsylvania. this is your district, right, including scranton, the town where joe biden was born in. and here is your opponent, cartwright screen left. you see this area here? there is another really good race in pennsylvania seven as well and a lot of people think what happens in seven happens in eight. what happens in eight, happens in seven. they're probably right about that. come back to the area here for our viewers. go back two years ago and you see the count east, a mix of red and blue that really indicates how this is a toss-up area with the red and blue. i understand immigration is a big deal in northeastern p.a. tell me why and what are voters telling you? >> thanks for having me, bill. immigration is a huge deal here. illegal immigration has devastated parts of northeast pennsylvania including my hometown of hazelton, pennsylvania. brought along with it crime, drugs, fentanyl overdoses are way up. a huge deal on the front page of

the "wall street journal." my opponent votes with nancy pelosi and joe biden 100% of the time. the only thing he loves more than joe biden is amnesty and voted for $1200 checks for illegals. he is so weak on illegal immigration i am voting for building the wall. >> bill: all right. republicans have an eight-point edge in that district. that surprises me a little bit because you lost by four points in 2020. how do you make that change this year? >> well, we're in a new district. redistricting took effect. this is a district president trump would have won by three points. we'll win. enthusiasm is off the charts. people here are paying almost $6 a gallon for home heating oil. over $4 for gasoline. they know we need a change. joe biden, nancy pelosi and cartwright have gotten us into this ditch. democrats and independents are

saying they'll govern as moderates. >> bill: this is what we found in your district. crime and immigration, 75%, top concern, immigration 63%. polls close at 8:00 but you have a lot of mail-in ballots out there. and pennsylvania has got some -- you have some funky rules, right? you start processing the morning of and then you start counting and you count day of votes first and then mail-in ballots. if you think you are comfortable in winning this you could have a lead going late night and by the morning the lead could flip when they count the mail-in ballots. are understanding so far is that in pennsylvania democrats have voted by mail 4 to 1 over republicans. just explain your position on how you see that happening. >> well, we were up 10,000 votes at midnight on election night in

2020. everything you say is true that there could be days of counting of the ballots. that's why election security is so important. i support voter i.d. we need to return to fair and safe elections. you can learn how to get a mail-in ballot at beat scranton joan.com. we think we'll have a very close race and very confident of winning. if people see things at polling places that concern them make sure you alert election authority. we're fighting for safe and fair elections. >> bill: you were leading by 10,000 that night? >> yes. >> bill: my numbers tell me you lost by 13,000 in the end. that is a swing of 23,000 votes. which means the mail ballots matter in that part of p.a. >> they do matter. i will say our tracking shows that the democrat returns are well down from 2020.

folks after covid are returning to voting on election day. we need people to come out on el elect -- election day. we see people never registered before registered. in my county 8,000 new republican registrations this year. we think there will be a red wave on november 8th. >> bill: we'll see what happens in pennsylvania eight. thank you, sir, for your time. >> dana: u.s. capitol police now joining the f.b.i. and san francisco police in an investigation after house speaker nancy pelosi's husband paul was violently attacked inside his home. san francisco police will address the media later and we'll bring it to you live as soon as it happens. americans not taking any chances. gun sales surging as a crime wave sweeps nationwide. closer look at who feels most vulnerable from the chaos. battleground pennsylvania voters in one of the most closely watched states speaking out on what matters most to them.

>> i have been a life long democrat but i am flipping to republican. i can no longer follow this party. >> dana: what else are they saying? lawrence jones was there. he is here next. 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.

>> bill: back on friday morning 10:30. look at the cruel numbers for presidents in office. joe biden right now goes in the mid-term his approval rating is roughly 40%. what we wanted to understand going back 10, 20 years, is if you have a number at 40%. even 60%, how does it affect the mid-term vote and turnout. here is what we found out. 2018 here is where donald trump was before mid-terms. he was on average 43% approval rating. republicans lost 40 house seats in 2018.

take you back to two terms for barack obama. this similar pattern now. second term presidents always with a lot of head winds. obama was at 42% and lost $0.13. the whopper was four years prior. obamacare passed at 45%. democrats lost 63 seats. as he said, the following day it was a shell acting. take you back more now to george bush. second term president, a lot of head winds. what do you find in 2006? approval rating 36% iraq surge time. what do we do about the war in petraeus was in charge and republicans lost 36 seats. this is rare here. in 2002, george bush east

approval rating was at 67% coming off 9/11. a security election all across america. and he bucked the trend. republicans gained eight house seats that year. very interesting when you go back 20 years the find out how americans feel. the toss-up races in the house are significant. you see this? this is right here as of today we have 33 toss-up seats. but on the board behind me, sometimes we call these chicklets here. you see 32 of the 33 are on the democratic side of the house. and we have one solo toss-up here that is now run by a republican on the right side of the house. so history tells us one thing. reality -- >> dana: have you ever want to revisit the 2006 mid-term i think i still have tire marks on my head. that was a tough one. >> bill: this thing based on

history stacked up against you and maybe the reality says something about that tuesday night in november. wanted to share that with you, dana. back to you. >> dana: as we've been talking about a crime wave has americans taking personal safety into their own hands. more people are actually buying guns. violent crime remains a top voter issue this mid-term cycle. women now make up a growing share of the market. to tell us more madison all worth is live in pine brook, new jersey. what's with the trend? >> we're seeing the gun sales and firearm checks remain high. it peaked in 2020 and the numbers have stayed high consistently since then. when you look at firearm checks when you are buying a new gun or gun changes hands, that has really seen a big increase steadily since the 2020 pandemic. people wanting to take security and safety into their own hands. interestingly a big group within that are first-time buyers.

so the owner at this store tells me every day between 3 and 5 people come in as first time gun buyers to purchase their first guns. i want to bring in the owner. when these people coming in who never purchased a gun before why are we buying a gun now? >> people are scared generally for their personal property and themselves and their family. so there has been an uptick and people are worried about crime. it is every where. >> you talked about crime. that's part of it. we see it increase across the country. we're not far from new york city with a huge crime problem. that plays into it. what else specifically this year is driving those gun sales and bringing people into your shop? >> historically every election year will see an uptick in sales. everybody is worried about their rights being removed or changed and feel they have to get them while they can. >> dana mentioned that women are an increasingly large number of gun sales.

are you seeing that at your shop and why are they buying guns? >> absolutely. there is a tremendous increase. a lot of them are alone and they have kids or not but they want to protect themselves. >> bill: an election year. you see the increase. we're still a ways from the mid-terms. you should expect a change depending on what happens on election day. back to you. >> dana: thank you for that. >> bill: we hear a lot from the pundits and analysts about mid-terms, right? what are the voters saying? lawrence jones crisscrossed the key state of pennsylvania and spoke to them about the issues concerning them the most. the host of cross-country is here now. we've been watching you all week. what did you find? what are the folks saying? >> people are fired up. it is hard when you go out there because you have democrats that will defend the president because they like the man. but they have to admit that things aren't going well.

independents are frustrated. they put it all at the doorstep of the president when it comes to the economy, inflation, crime is obviously a big issue. they don't blame the president necessarily for crime but they blame his leadership on it because he is in the control of the democratic party. the republicans feel this righteous indignation. they feel like the past campaign was focused strictly on emotion and not about the policy positions. they say look, we told you this was going to happen. just a fired up overall crowd that i've been speaking with across the country. >> dana: a guy named michael rogers and here is one of the things he said about inflation. >> i like to play guitar. last year i bought two brand-new guitars. now looking at selling them because i'm living paycheck to paycheck. how do i think biden is doing? i think he is a buffoon. blaming him for the country's

problems is like blaming ronald mcdonald for a bad cheeseburger. he is just that far out of it. >> dana: there was a woman in your interview yesterday that you did on "fox & friends" and he talked about living paycheck to paycheck and it struck me when she said forget paycheck to paycheck, some people here are living day-to-day. >> i find it interesting because i hear it in every state. i want to expand on it. i want you to hear what these people are saying. they say that under the last economy they were able to invest like the guy said i bought two new guide ares. business owners say i was able to expand my franchise and able to buy a new car. so they thought because of the engine of the economy they were moving down the right path and living the american dream. all of a sudden there is this break and they have all these new things they purchased because they feel like they have finally reached this point and now to have to sell those things and get a second job. one teacher said things have

gotten so bad she is working part-time at mcdonalds. common themes. >> bill: did you get the sense that so much slipped so quickly? two years, right? >> yeah. >> bill: you had covid before that and it disrupted so many lives. you almost think back and ask yourself name three things that are better now than two years ago? i can name one. covid is better. but i'm hard pressed to find number 2 and 3. are you? >> yeah >> bill: are they? >> the voters would say the same thing. i know the white house would say look, we have all this legislative success. the people aren't feeling that in their day-to-day life. they say the inflation reduction act. they aren't feeling it when their grocery bill increased or want to buy a new or used car. they're not feeling it when it comes to crime. you have the speaker of the house. we don't know the details yet

surrounding the person that invaded her property and attacked her husband. but if the speaker of the house's husband can be attacked how do you think an american day-to-day living on the street? i have the full detail. the american people don't have the bubble they live in. so this is what the american people are crying about. i go back to the magic number of 56% of americans in the last election said they were better off under the same administration of donald trump. but when it came to his tone think disagreed. what it tells you is that the voters chose the tone at the time. they never said that joe biden would make their life better. so now we live with these consequences. the american people are saying you know what? things are going wrong. 68% of americans say we're heading down the wrong direction. >> dana: what did they say about the fetterman debate? >> everyone was upset about that. i pressed one democratic voter. they knew his condition before the primary vote was cast. i asked her and i said do you

feel like the party lied to you and they didn't give you all the information so you could perhaps pick a different candidate? she said she doesn't know but she would be very upset because judging by the polling things are turning around after that debate. if this debate affected the performance of this election, she will be very upset. i think democrats that's on you because you could have chose a different candidate. they concealed it. people were asked where is fetterman? everything is okay. he had a stroke. everything is fine. making a full recovery. then you see his debate performance. that's just sad what took place. you are looking at someone -- as someone with family members that struggle with health -- that needs to be getting help right now. we don't shame people for their medical circumstances but as americans we should want them to get the full recovery. some people would say is he even fit to be the lieutenant governor right now during this period of time? >> dana: interesting. >> bill: he could still win

based on the polling. it is very close. lawrence, welcome home. see you saturday night. okay? >> dana: cross-country. >> bill: you this weekend as well. >> dana: sad news. apparently it's true that tom brady and gisele will file for divorce today. bill. >> bill: it makes me very sad actually. >> dana: i thought they might be able to reconcile. >> bill: people magazine and a few other outlets are important this. the filing expected today is what they're saying. two kids together, a young son and daughter. they also raised another son who is a couple years older from a previous relationship that brady had. but here you go. you have the goat, the legend who is still playing football. had a game last night against baltimore. they lost that game at home by three points. tampa bay as a football team right now is underwater. brady hates that, you know. but the off-field news cannot be

very soothing to him when he is trying to play football. >> dana: sad for the kids. we broke in with the fox news alert. we wish everybody well. >> bill: i hope they work it out. from the very beginning i thought they could do it. we'll see. >> dana: also this. when in doubt bring president obama out. the former president is on his way to georgia to campaign for slumping democrats in races for governor and senate. will it make a difference? ♪ think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. i brought in ensure max protein

>> bill: the white house just put out a statement on the attack regarding paul pelosi overnight in san francisco. this morning the president called speaker pelosi expressing support reading from that statement now after the horrible attack, he is also very glad that a full recovery is expected. the president continues to condemn all violence. we'll check in on san francisco and get to developments when they become available. >> dana: the san francisco police department will be making

some comments later today. we'll get those to you for sure. former president obama is on his way to atlanta where he will be campaigning for democratic governor hopeful stacey abrams and senate incumbent raphael warnock. does he have the star power to push them across the finish line? the former spokesperson for republican georgia governor deal and a podcast called political breakfast. that sounds like wheaties for breakfast. trying to make a good transition there. you will have star power in georgia today. the race is close. will this make a difference? >> i would push back a little bit that the governor's race is close. every bit of data showed kemp with a healthy lead. granted the senate race has been a little bit tighter. you have to think obama has his eye on the warnock senate race than abrams. i will remind you as far as the

impact of his star power the last time obama did a gubernatorial campaign event ten days out it was for terry mccauliffe in virginia in 2021 and we all know how that turned out. the star power wasn't enough to get anybody across the finish line because biden's lack of star power is what voters are turned into. the democrats know they have a problem with an unenergized base. this guy is the best they got. they can't use the president because he has terrible approval ratings here in georgia. this is the best shot. but bad news for democrats at this juncture they aren't fighting for the suburbs or independents. they are fighting to rev up their base. not a good place to be. >> dana: i imagine stacey abrams won't have a scheduling conflict when barack obama comes today. >> i'm mighty impressed you remember in january when biden came abrams all of a sudden had

somewhere else to be when the president of the united states. someone who she fought to be the presidentall candidate. >> dana: talking about voter suppression that is something she said is her issue. do you think president biden will key into that today and is that a message that's a winning one down there in georgia when you have this record turnout in early voting? >> well, that's two different questions. will he mention it? he did in the video that he did for her in advance of this appearance today in college park. he mentioned voter suppression and efforts to keep people from voting. i don't think, however, that it is a good message. national democrats are eaten up this idea we have voter suppression in georgia. you know who rejected it? people in georgia. they rejected the voter fraud argument in 2020 and they reject the voter suppression argument in 2022. because people here are registered to vote.

96% of us are registered to vote and everyone knows we have 17 days of early voting. access and registration is through the roof in georgia. so the suppression argument falls on deaf ears here because the people who it really impacts know it's baloney. >> dana: i want to ask you about this. some people think yesterday when chuck schumer talked to joe biden about what he thought about the pennsylvania race that it was a calculated lead. he wanted to get out the message that they were doing better in pennsylvania and the fetterman debate didn't hurt them too much and georgia is going away from the democrats. listen here.

>> dana: he says that it is going downhill for them in georgia but he said democrats early voter turnout is huge. is that true? >> well yes, it was particularly in the first week. last week we had the first day was like 38, 39% of the electorate was black. but what you see through the week that number has begun to decline. democrats really need for the electorate to be 30% black at the end of the day to have a shot at winning. they need to get 30% of the white vote. right now they are close to 30% in an atmosphere where many republicans are waiting until election day to go vote. you will see a republican advantage from here on out. so the democrats right now are in a perilous position as far as the racial makeup of the electorate. yes, was that true last week? absolutely. is it true today? less so. will it be true next week?

absolutely not. >> dana: two quick questions. do you think governor kemp wins re-election and doesn't have to go to a runoff? >> no doubt in my mind. >> dana: what about the senate race >> a few days ago i would have said runoff. environment has changed dramatically. chuck schumer is right. walker's numbers are moving up. in the circles around walker and his campaign my sources in the campaign tell me for the first time they believe they can win it outright. >> dana: good to have you. thank you so much. >> bill: so now it has been one decade since hurricane sandy slammed the shores of new york and new jersey. residents of both states remembering the storm that took the lives of nearly 100 people an caused more than $60 billion in damage in just those two

states alone. >> i never thought i would experience something as massive as what occurred the night of sandy. it was terrifying. >> she recalls the night ten years ago when the surge of superstorm sandy flooded her neighborhood in brick, new jersey and how she and her neighbors huddled on the top floor of her split level home. >> that's what we talked about was survival that night and we thought about what kind of circle we could make with each other to lock arms, to knock get washed away. >> it was the after math of sandy when the real problems began for her after she applied for the state's recommend grant program. >> the rem program ended up being way, way worse than being wiped out by the storm. >> she was originally awarded $90,000 from the rem program to rebuild but currently being forced to give back the money to the state. she, like many others in new

jersey, is experiencing what's referred to as a claw back. others in the garden state aren't receiving the grants after they were approved. lisa and scott were awarded over $1 hundred thousand to rebuild their home. but now they are not entitled to receive the funds until work is complete. >> all we want to do is get on with our lives and stop talking about this storm. >> fox news was in contact with four other homeowners from new jersey including some who are still unable to rebuild their homes a decade later. all of them declined to go on camera for fear the state would retaliate against them for going public with their issues about the rem grant program. a statement from the spokesperson for the state of new jersey says they're obligated under the act to recover the money and they have kept lines of communication open with homeowners. in new york homeowners are not experiencing claw backs from

that state's version of the rem program called new york rising but still are facing issues of their own. dan anderson of long beach needed to tear down his home after the stone and still making loan payments on top of his mortgage. what was worse? riding out the storm or dealing with the after math? >> the storm is the easy part. we can't control the weather. the real storm is afterwards when the battle really begins. >> back here in long beach anderson says it will take him 18 years to pay off that loan and many of the homeowners we spoke to say they still have leons on their homes. it may have been ten years but still a long way to go for many. >> bill: laura engel thank you on the shore in new jersey. we'll watch it, thanks. >> dana: search intensifies for

a woman, 24-year-old taylor was last seen on monday. she attends the john paul ii institute. police are asking anyone with information at the number you see on the screen. please take a moment to write it down. >> bill: santa -- criminal charges may happen against the moviemakers rust and may happen against -- >> dana: watching that one closely. before we go on friday. philadelphia fever is overtaking the nation. a twitter study by vet online shows 88% of the country wants

to see philly win. >> bill: i don't know if that pool was approved online. i was checking with treon yachlt >> dana: houston, i don't know what's wrong. why don't people like houston? i remember. i like houston, i guess. the world series is happening on fox. you can see it and we will opine about it. "the faulkner focus" is up next. have a great weekend, everyone. we'll see you monday. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. democrats reportedly are panicking over a senate seat in jeopardy in pennsylvania. the democrat candidate john fetterman against the republican candidate dr. mehmet oz. they are now separated by 0.3%, real clear politics that's an average of many polls. that's what we like to look at. not to just show you the best and the worst but the average. that's the important number. fetterman has been in freefall in the polling for weeks. it's a
