>> if you want to learn about history go to brandon, mississippi, go to brian kilmeade.com and i'll meet you there. >> election in four days. >> bill: good morning, 9:00 in new york. four days until america votes. a new job report on the defining issue of the mid-term elections. the economy and how you feel about your own pocketbook. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: it's one long day between now and tuesday, right? one long day. the coverage all weekend will be amazing. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." we have a lot of good stuff coming up. the mid-terms, everyone is super interested. we got this. the october report on jobs coming out a few moments ago. the final economic report card

before the election. the results are mixed. >> bill: 261,000 jobs added. it's good but a hot number. we'll explain. we expect 200,000. slightly better than expected. unemployment rising. >> dana: the bump in unemployment days ahead of an election where 80% of voters say the economy is the most important issue. david spunt is live at the white house. a long day for you as well between now and tuesday. >> it really is. we're waiting to see what the white house has to say about the 261,000 jobs added to see what they will say just days before the election. after all, this is the final jobs report before the mid-term election, which is telling if you look at it. white house officials and bill don't want to use the word recession or focus too much on the economy, but it is hard to escape the president talked about the economy last night in

san diego. listen. >> president biden: important to remind ourselves of the detail. the fact of the matter is we're 6.4% unemployment when i came to office. our country is in a pandemic with no plan to get us out of it. >> republicans insist we are in a recession. democrats including the president's chief of staff ron klain say no we're not. >> i want to be clear. we don't comment on monetary policy at the white house or what chairman powell said. we're not in a recession. i want to be really clear on that. >> karine jean-pierre the white house press secretary said this week the white house not holding meetings or anything of the sort preparing for a recession. the federal reserve just two days ago raised interest rates and pushed borrowing costs to the highest level since the great recession back in 2008. >> at this time next year president biden will not pretend that we can get past it.

this is a challenge that congress needs to step up, the president needs to step away from some of his overreach over the last two years so that we can heal this nation and heal the economy. >> the president is in san diego, california today. he will address the chips act making more computer chips in the united states. tomorrow in philadelphia with his former boss the 44th president barack obama to try to rally the base in the final days before the mid-terms. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: let's bring in the man larry kudlow. a lot to go through. are you awake? i know you are just reading there. the president said -- keep reading. i want to tell you something here. last night in california the president said when he came in no plan to get out of the pandemic. the plan was the vaccine, right rolling out at that time. now this number on jobs, it is a contradiction, larry. the fed is trying to cool this number down but this number is

not cooling down which means the fed will continue to raise rates. your analysis of how you see it today, larry. >> well, i think you're right on that point. by the way, i wish that wouldn't target the economy. the fed should target the inflation rate. normally, you know, good, solid economic growth is not inflationary. i want to make that point as a supply cider. if we had enough production of oil and gas, if we had enough pro pro pro product -- this is a decent jobs number at 261. household employment from which the overall unemployment rate comes, households did fall by over 300,000. so that's a bit odd. the unemployment rate crept up slightly, okay, participation

rate fell slightly. employment to population ratio fell slightly but you have to store it as a good job. here is the soft underbelly of this report and the economy, okay? average hourly wages for production workers up 3/10 of 1% in october. up 5.5% for the last 12 months. 5.5 is a good number. the problem is it's way below an 8.2% consumer price index. so real wages after inflation continued to decline. this is the 19th consecutive month of declining. so families are having to pay higher fuel costs, higher heating costs, higher gasoline prices and so forth. but unfortunately their wages are falling after inflation. so you've got more buy less. that's the soft underbelly of the entire economy.

>> dana: we'll hear from aishah hosni talking to small business owners. when they're looking at a report like today's what should they be planning for in the next quarter as their small businesses try to survive here? >> well, look, you know, the report shows there is a lot of job openings but there seems to be a shortage of workers. now there are a lot of explanations for that worker shortage. i think, frankly, one explanation is overly generous government assistance programs are being substituted for actual work. there is no work requirements. this is not a new story, dana, but it continues. this past week we learned there is a medicaid expansion going on in a number of states for

non-medical services and there is no work requirements. so that's another example. so it's a complicated story. there is more openings than there are jobs -- i don't know the precise number, it moves around. you are looking at something like 4 to 7 million people should be in the labor force. they dropped out. we don't know where they are. it may be a much larger number. it would be nice to add work requirements to government benefits. the key story here is still it's a solid -- i won't deny it's a solid jobs report, point number one. but in terms of wages the inflation rate continues to go up several percentage points more than the actual wages. the workforce is in trouble. >> bill: the effect of that is it tells the consumer how they feel and just this week cnn had a poll that found 3/4 of those they polled feel as if the country is in a recession. that's the feeling you have

going into the voting booth four days from now. last comment on that. >> yeah, i think that's probably true. i don't think this changes anything. in an odd way, bill, you've got the first two quarters were negative. third and fourth quarter of positive. some recovery. next year with all the fed tightening. they will look at this number and continue to tighten the money supply and raise their target rates. it is almost like a double dip recession, okay? first down in the first half of this year from the inflation shock, then a slight rebound in the second half of the year, and then next year in 2023 the fed tightening will take hold and you'll go back into recession. it is a very difficult story. i might add, when the cavalry comes, the gop has to be ready with an economic recovery plan.

the first thing they should do is take the handcuffs off of oil and gas, let them drill and frack. that would do what? it would lower inflation and it would increase economic growth. they have a lot of work to do but the first thing they should do is liberate the oil and gas sector. that's my guess and my proposal. the cavalry is coming. >> dana: larry kudlow, happy friday. >> bill: see you at 4:00. thank you, larry. >> dana: with mid-terms around the corner tim ryan is criticizing his own party even saying he doesn't want them on his campaign. his latest attempt to distance himself from democrats at he and vance are in a close senate race. mark meredith is live in dayton, ohio, beautiful there today, mark. >> good morning. it sure is. close to 70 degrees today in november. not a bad sign at all. ohio congressman tim ryan is

criticizing the national democratic party and some of the strategies they are deploying nationwide as he is trying to win over some middle class voters in the state. he is in the middle of a bus tour across the buckeye state. he was here in dayton last night giving a speech to the local electrical workers union. his visit was hours after he was on television criticizing the national democratic party saying they've never been good at political decisions. >> i've been known to get everybody mad at me, you know, democrats, republicans. i will tell you why, right? because i the end to speak my peace and sometimes i get in trouble for that. i don't see that changing any time soon. >> he has chosen not to campaign with high-profile democrats including president biden as part of the senate bid. supporters told us they understand why bringing somebody like president biden here to ohio may not pay off for ryan.

>> i get what he is doing. you know, this is ohio. this isn't california. his message may work here. it wouldn't work there. >> what we're watching is j.d. vance doing the exact opposite strategy. he is embracing the republican party in the state including governor mike dewine. vance will be in dayton later today and he says ryan is not telling the truth about the democratic party views. >> he has the support of the national democrats. the problem for tim ryan is the agenda of the national democrats isn't very popular and he is trying to run away from it. >> so we're also going to be watching as vance is on this stump with former president trump. it will be interesting to see whether it will help, hurt or not change the impact of the race at all. it is a close contest here in ohio. >> dana: almost like you are at

the white house with the equipment going on behind you. a beautiful shot there in dayton. great to see you. >> bill: looks like a pumpkin patch. chilling scene in new york city. police claim a woman on her morning jog was raped and left for dead. that suspect's criminal history is sparking out rage. >> dana: a new escalation from kim forcing south korea to scramble fighter jets. >> bill: fentanyl busts rising in california. how much is slipping through the cracks? we'll get to that in a moment.

realtor.com (in a whisper) where do we even start our house search? the house whisperer! this house says start with deep search filters on realtor.com. and all the missing socks, are behind the dryer. realtor.com. to each their home. at jersey mike's they slice your order fresh, right in front of you. and let me tell you, watching that can send a rush of emotions through a person... excitement, impatience, baby-like wonder, indecisive, anticipatory chewing, nervous pacing, happy claps... and finally...jealousy. because that's this guy's sub. i should order one...mhm, good idea. sliced right in front of you. it's a jersey mike's thing. a sub above.

>> dana: a woman was brutally attacked when out for a ran.

a man grabbed her from behind. he choked, raped and robbed her. the suspect arrested seen here was reportedly wanted for two other sex crimes and had at least 25 prior arrests. shocking story is on the front page of the "new york post" on everybody's mind this morning. >> bill: unbelievable. more coming up later on that story. latest polling shows latino votes up for grabs right now and shifting toward the republicans over crime and inflation and perhaps education issues. both -- all three are top issues in competitive races in deep blue new york. madison is in washington heights. good morning. >> good morning. i had the opportunity to talk to latino business owners in washington heights as well as in the bronx. they all told me the same thing. that crime is that number one issue for them going into this election because in communities like this that are so hard hit by crime, that could be the

difference between success and failure. we met with a grocery store owner. he says bail reform laws have made it a revolving door. shoplifting and violence is a regular occurrence. he is a registered democrat but making a change this election. >> we say prayers before we leave home. retail has been dangerous but now it is on steroids. this time around it is crime number one. the republicans in actuality are small business friendly. perhaps i was wrong voting democrat for so long. >> business owners are frustrated and we spoke to eli who used to own three restaurants. with inflation eating people's wallets and foot traffic stopping after dark because of the fear of crime he had to close down two of them. >> the city agencies, regulations, inflation,

unavailability of products, public safety. it would be impossible to run a profitable business. >> so as you heard, some have already decided they are voting for lee zeldin for governor. some are undecided. a republican governor hasn't been elected in new york since 1994. i think that really sends a message of how big a deal crime is for this community and for the state of new york. i want to send it back to you. >> bill: thanks, madison is north of us in manhattan. >> dana: growing concerns over escalations from north korea. they set off a record number of missile launches in recent days as kim jong-un threatens a nuclear describing with drills between the u.s. and south korea. let's bring in the managing

director of global business strategies. here is what was said yesterday. >> secretary austin and i affirm any nuclear test and use of nuclear weapons is unacceptable and result in the end of kim jong-un regime. >> what's the situation as you see it, michael? >> i'm glad that secretary of defense and our counterpart in south korea said what they said. this is another example of nuclear blackmail by an autocratic regime. you've seen putin try it in ukraine and you see kim jong-un thinking to himself i'm going to engage in this also. give me what i want or else i might -- i might use a tactical nuclear weapon. we just have to stand up to the nuclear blackmail because we don't want other countries around the world like iran to believe the only key for regime survival is if they get a nuclear weapon also. >> bill: you think about the

latest back and forth. north koreans have had 180 flights near the border. south korea scrambled aircraft in response. every day it goes to a new level. you say if china -- we'll get to that in a moment. with regard to north korea, how do you take the burner down a little bit on this now? >> well, you're right. north korea is dangerously provocative. we need to begin to sanction the north koreans to put them in a position where they might want to come to the table and make some sort of concessions. but we also have to stand tall with the south koreaians and japanese with the threat that we would be able to definitively an ole ate the north korean regime

if they attacked our allies in north korea and japan. >> bill: you have to think he is getting help from the chinese and the russians. what do you think about that? >> i do think the chinese see the north koreans as a useful distraction for the west. they see us fighting back in europe. they see increased tensions with china over taiwan. i think they like it when north korea pops off a little bit because it helps them because it distracts us. >> dana: you wrote a piece for foxnews.com saying if china concurs taiwan a huge blow to u.s. national security and our economy. explain a little more here. i think viewers hear about taiwan but don't necessarily understand what it would mean for them. >> that's right. what i tried to do was say what would happen if they absorbed the market power of taiwan and had this new platform in the middle of the south china sea?

what would they do? they would do more of the same. try to extort their neighbors who are our friends. they would try to rewrite the trade rules to their benefit and possibly have a strangle hold over the supply chain which counts on -- which we count on for so many jobs here in the united states. so i concluded that it would be economically dangerous for the united states but that if our politicians want us to fight china for tay juan's freedom we better start talking bit as a country and make sure the american people appreciate the economic repercussions. >> bill: thank you for coming on today, michael. >> i'm not recommending for every president like they get a shell acting like i did last night. >> bill: former president obama

has four days to help save his party from the same shell yakking. can he save the day or deja vu all over again?

f.b.i. said to be investigating a shooting at a north carolina home belonging to the parents of republican congressional candidate pat harrigan. happened last month. a suspect firing a single shot through a window. candidate's children sleeping a few feet away. no one injured but so far no arrests made, either. >> dana: nearly a million mail-in ballots already cast in pennsylvania's mid-term election. finding the results could turn into a waiting game.

fox news goes behind the scenes for the look how the votes are being processed. we're in upper darby, pennsylvania. hi, bryan llenas. >> allocations are that this senate race in pennsylvania is a dead heat. a jump ball between fetterman and oz. if that plays out it could mean we won't know who wins for days or weeks. why? one of the reasons is litigation. after recent court decisions a memo sent by the department of state was sent out to all counties yesterday ordering that all mail-in ballots missing a handwritten date on the outside of the envelope or have an incorrect date must be segregated from the pile and will not count. election workers must scrutinize ballots more carefully. it takes time. if this race comes down to a few thousand votes expect lawsuits. we got a behind the scenes look how ballots are processed in

pittsburgh. top of mind for election officials there is incorrectly dated ballots. >> we don't know exactly what wrong date is. we don't know what that is. we won't make the determination without further guidance from the department of state. >> then there is processing. the up to 1.4 million mail-in ballots cannot be processed until 7:00 a.m. election day. this requires time taking the ballots out of two different envelopes and scanning them. meanwhile in a race this close, everything could matter, including endorsements and last night oprah winfrey spurned dr. oz who she helped make into a tv star by endorsing his opponent. >> i said it was up to the citizens of pennsylvania but i will tell you all this, if i lived in pennsylvania, i would already have cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. >> oz's campaign released a statement saying that dr. oz

loves oprah and respects that they have different politics. there is a couple of rallies today. rallies last night. this is a tight close race, dana. >> dana: we'll be watching you all weekend. thank you, brian. >> bill: the race is so close in p.a. democrats are in danger of losing the swing states that obama and biden won. democrats are deploying former president obama for an 11th hour rescue. a big rally in pennsylvania over the weekend. the party hoping the 44th president can pull them out of political quicksand when he visits pennsylvania tomorrow and avoid the same mid-term shellacking that hit him in 2010. he lost 63 seats in the house and six seats in the senate. >> republicans picked up 60 seats in the house. this has been the biggest democrat repudiation since world war ii. zbliet was a tough message from the voters. a clear message. >> we saw a humbled and

introspective president obama after a major political defeat. he called it a shellacking. >> a catastrophe. websites are still busy making up funny names for the republican takeover of the house as both parties are still trying to figure out why it happened. >> bill: it's like the time machine. guy benson host of the guy benson radio show. so our viewers know on the big screen we'll put up here. trump in 2018 lost 40 seats in the house. obama 2014, 13, before that was the shellacking minus 63. in 2006 bush lost 30 but he bucked the trend in 2002 securing the election that here up six in the house. how do you see it, guy? >> a story in the "washington post" that indicates that some biden allies are already pre-spinning what they expect to be losses next week for the democrats and what they are trying to say is because

republicans won't gain probably in the neighborhood of 63 seats the 2010 shellacking it is almost a win for joe biden. >> dana: hilarious. >> bill: ridiculous spin if that is what they attempt. >> this is what i'm interested in less week. look less at the number of seats gained by republicans. look more at the number of seats controlled by the republicans when it is over. you see what i'm saying? republicans are starting from a higher floor. they did well in 2020. so the final number of seats controlled is more, i think, a revelation and more telling than the actual map of how many seats do they gain. just as a point of reference, in 1994 after the gingrich revolution huge republican wave. they controlled 230 seats in the house. after the democrats had their good wave in 2018, 235 seats in the house. 2010 it was 242 for the republicans. and then 2014, which we put it on the huge wall, kind of looked

like a small year for the republicans in terms of seats gained in 2014. seats control 247, epic number. that's what i'm looking at. will republicans be in 94, 2018 territory or 2014 territory? >> dana: that's a smart way to think bit. i can make sure i get it in my brain. president obama is still their best asset on the campaign trail. he was in arizona. watch here. >> are you going to start yelling? you have to be polite and civil when people are talking and other people are talking and then you get a chance to talk. set up your own rally. >> dana: you realize how ineffective the president biden and vice president harris are on the campaign trail. >> for sure. obama is a much more talented speaker. the base and party and the media

love him. i would point out that he wasn't all that great as a surrogate in terms of results getting other people elected besides himself. he was good at getting himself elected twice but on the campaign trail some of the mid-term years didn't help that much. what was interesting about that, he got the better of the heckler. you shouldn't be yelling and screaming. go get your own rally. that's not a bad line at all. i think what the heckler might have been shouting was where is the debate? can someone set up a debate in the state of arizona? the governor candidates have not debated there because katie hobs, the democrat refused to. >> dana: democrats think she made a mistake. i didn't understand -- on twitter the elon musk is going to fire some employees today and they'll find out at noon in an email if they have a job or not. this is the thing that the twitter employees are saying you have to give us more time. they want to sue him for that.

here is what he said. he said in an effort to place twitter on a healthy path they'll go through a difficult process, reduce the workforce on friday, today. and he says we recognize it will impact individuals but unfortunately necessary to insure the company's success moving forward. >> i was astonished to read how many employees existed at twitter. thousands and thousands of employees over there. good luck with the lawsuit. i'm not an employment law expert but you have a private company, a new boss. if he will make some changes he has pretty wide berth to do that. i see some people oh twitter dunking on people loosing their jobs on twiter. not great karma. no tear shed based on what the company has done to folks throughout the years and how it's been used to cancel people. you don't want to see anyone losing their jobs or take pleasure in it. >> bill: in the tech sector it could be the first of many. you look right now what's coming

our way economically and you can see -- it could be google and facebook and apple. on down the line. >> other sectors of the economy. twitter employees aren't a special cast of people who can't get laid off and need extra time to adjust. the happens. a lot of americans in normal jobs have had these painful things happen without a big hugh and cry by the press. >> bill: when he reduces the workforce is it easier for him to take it private? that could be the trend. nice to see you yesterday and today in person. we'll see you when? >> dana: monday. >> bill: monday and definitely tuesday on election day. >> dana: thanks, guy. soaring inflation the top issue for voters in battleground georgia. having a major impact on small businesses. what some owners are telling fox news. plus professional corn hole rocked by a cheating scandal. it's true. the latest incident in what

appears to be a decline in sportsmanship. jimmy failla is here on that next. ♪ we all have a purpose in life - a “why.” no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank

we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why?

>> bill: americans paying close attention to the mid-term races in georgia. record inflation is the issue number one there according to our polling here at fox and having a major impact on business, especially small business. aishah hosni is in georgia. >> good morning bill and dana. it doesn't matter if you're a republican or democrat small business owner in georgia you are getting hit hard by inflation. let's first talk about darrell perry. he voted for republican herschel walker because he blames democrats and their spending for causing inflation. he runs a pest control company and says he has lost 50 to 60,000 in revenue this year because of the rising cost of chemicals. higher gas prices for its fleet of trucks and losing clients left and right because they can't afford his services anymore. >> this is the worst i've ever

seen. it affects my business because, you know, they always get rid of the pest control people. if they have to feed their families, then -- i don't blame them. >> now these folks own the right cut in monroe. prices for beauty supplies have doubled and dwindling clients have an employee leaving them. they voted for warnock saying democratic spending like the covid relief bill was needed. >> if i was in their position i would have did it, too. the reason for that is because i heard the cries of so many people saying we need help. we need help. so what do you do? >> meanwhile back out here live we're awaiting a big walker event. you see a huge crowd behind me. special guest today tulsi gabbard who just endorsed

walker. >> aishah hosni there in georgia. >> dana: good job. a cheating scandal dubbed bad gate is sending shock waves against a corn hole world. a top team made a complaint against a rival team after using illegal bean bags. it has led to calls to prevent the use of non-compliant bags. jimmy failla is here host of fox across america. i didn't know that it had gone pro. >> that's the first thing i take issue with is the term professional corn hole. any sport you play with a beer in your left i don't consider -- >> bill: have you watched the competition? they've been pro for a couple of years and not drinking beer when they are playing. >> i didn't mean to pick a fight with big corn hole. i'm saying, hemmer, i played a

lot. married to an ohio family. they play corn hole in church waiting for the priest. they are very pro corn hole. it is fascinating because they've gone professional in the sense they're cheating. every pro sport is cheating. baseball had the steroid scandal and tom brady the only guy who lowered inflation in the last eight years in the country technically speaking. >> bill: here is the deal. they got their bags and they're stuffed with corn, right? apparently if you make the bag slicker it can slide off with greater ability to knock the other bags off. that's point number one. .2, they have been six by six inches where the guys were cutting corners. >> a little bit of a racket. >> dana: i can't imagine that people would want to cheat at corn hole. >> once there is money involved. >> dana: that's where you saw the fishermen cheating.

even in that. >> this is how they corrupted the sport . corn hole was an innocent backyard thing you did at barbecues. once you throw in money you incentivize more competitive game. i come from the corn hole circuit. you put the bag in your mouth until it's time to throw and you double deck, okay. based how this is going you assume i've had something stronger. once you gopro and the money gets involved that's where it happens. >> dana: a much more serious sports incident i want to ask you about. the michigan state -- the brawl that happened. there are eight players that have already been suspended. talk of possible criminal charges. >> this is one of the wildest fights i've ever seen and i ride the one train every day. i'm a regular subway rider. i'm conditioned to violence now.

thanks hochul. this is what matters. the illini are a bowl team. illinois is 7-1. they are 17 1/2 point favorites. the people watching this from a gambling standpoint love it. michigan state got a little worse. does that make sense? >> bill: you have the wolfer -- i want to leave you with i'm the king of corn hole. i will whip you. >> i'll play you on set. >> bill: i never lose. >> america, you are watching now. we can bet on this and do it for charity. >> bill: one on, three in. nobody goes back to 15 is the way i play. >> rock this. >> dana: good luck at your shows

in las vegas this wngd. >> bill: bring us something back. not a token or elvis coin. bring us a clip of your show. i want to see jimmie in action. >> maybe a pint of blood i sold after losing at the black jack table? >> bill: the hunter biden investigation taking a new turn. a brand-new book with a new inside scoop. we'll take you inside that story about the f.b.i. coming up. to have extra cash in the bank. and for veteran homeowners, it's as easy as one, two, three. one: call newday. two: talk to our team to see how much cash you can get. three: borrow up to 100% of your home's value with the newday 100 va loan. with home values near all-time highs, use your va benefit to turn the equity in your home into cash in the bank. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. when you have to get wheeled through the airport because you're too heavy to make it and you have extreme pain, you have to make a change. golo enabled me to make that change. golo is real and it changes your life.

>> bill: now to the latest on the hunter biden investigation. an upcoming book said to provide new insight how the government hid the truth behind the laptop. john levine. good morning to you. we call on you often for this story but the book is essentially about the guy who had the computer store in delaware where hunter biden dropped off and then left the laptop. he and apparently his father went to pursue government help and that's where the story goes.

>> john paul isaac is one of the unsung heroes of the hunter biden saga and i'm thrilled he is writing a book. he is the computer repair store owner. he was minding his own business in a tiny spot in delaware. hunter biden comes in and drops off the laptop and it all goes from there. he saw evidence of criminality on that thing. he went to the f.b.i. they do nothing. he goes to republican politicians. they do nothing. finally in an act of desperation he ends up giving it to rudy giuliani who provides it to the media and more widely december emanateed. if he had not been there we would know nothing. it would be a black hole today. we would have nothing. >> dana: where is the laptop right now? >> he has -- there is multiple -- many copies have been made. i have a copy and the f.b.i. probably has a copy and i know the house oversight committee has a copy and there are many copies now in circulation.

>> dana: miranda devine wrote a piece and said in american injustice my battle to disclose the troop. he said he was met with skepticism and death threats. i feared for my life in the face of a hostile f.b.i. where did the death threats come from? >> i thought i gave it to the f.b.i. and don't call us, we'll call you. apparently the f.b.i. at various points made very strange comments to him along the lines of well, nothing happens to people that don't talk. who have you been talking to about this? what is that supposed to mean? we need a more complete account of this. >> bill: his father is living half a country away in new mexico and enlisted the help of his father, retired air force colonel. he goes to get help and the f.b.i. has a lot of questions for him and essentially says you better get a lawyer and don't talk to anyone. why would that be if that story

is as he explains it? >> i don't have a good answer for this. it is all a very strange pattern of threatening comments by the f.b.i. to a private citizen when he was just trying to be a good american. >> dana: do you know if he had ever gone to authorities about other laptops if he saw some criminality on that or was this the first time it happened to him? >> i'm not aware of any previous laptops he has gone to the police with but i don't think he is a serial laptop giver. >> dana: if you see criminality. >> he is an american patriot. many other people could have been nothing to see here. i'll disappear into the bushes. >> bill: in late august of 2020. we're two months away from a national election. he gets in touch with rudy giuliani. in october of that year is when tony bobulinski pops up and tucker carlson does the interview with him. what will the republicans do if they can take control of the house, senate or both? >> i think the key thing from

any house investigation will be to fill in the gaps of what we don't know. we need to see what paper was being generated by the f.b.i. and the intelligence agencies when this was happening and need to find out who knew what and what actions were taken to suppress this information? it's all going to come out if republicans take back the house. i'm confident. >> bill: some very explosive with regard to big tech. we'll see how that -- >> it will all come out. >> bill: good to see you. nice to see you. >> dana: good election weekend. a business career law breaker with -- a brutal attack on a female jogger in the heart of new york city forcing new york's democrat leaders to admit surging crime in a glaring problem and has gotten worse on their watch. i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning. tough story here. i'm bill hemmer. the suspect wanted for at least tw
