>> rachel: i do, too. >> brian: you do? okay. in wisconsin where polls open in just under two hours. >> steve: lawrence jones is down in gainesville, georgia at the smokehouse barbecue. >> ainsley: but we are going to talk first with pete heg set is he live at the eagle diner in war minister, pennsylvania. we tossed a coin. thank you so much. like the super bowl together. n. politics. the blevins the senate could come down to one state. that state could be pennsylvania. and it could come down to one county, which is bucks county where we are eagle diner in warminister, pennsylvania. it's mehmet oz. it's john fetterman, all the way through the tape even if only one of them can run at this point we really want to hear from the people. what's their take.

what is motivating them when they go to the polls. it's razor thin. polls don't matter anymore. .1% difference separating the 2. former presidents have been here. donald trump, bill clinton, barack obama, joe biden. stumping for candidates and now it's all about what voters do. so we're excited. it is packed in here already. can i hear anybody? [cheers] you got a nice crowd. been lining up outside. can't wait to bring it to you this morning. >> steve: thank you very much pancake pete. now let's go to rachel campos-duffy she is in wisconsin. good morning to you, rachel. >> rachel: good morning. yes we are in wisconsin at gores ski's diner. we got quite a crowd. we even have a baby. this is rural wisconsin so gas prices are front of mind for so many people h here ininstallatin

[cheers and applause] >> rachel: really important races. the governor's race between tony easter and tim michaels really tight showing neck in neck. some polls even showing the republican tim michaels up by 2 points. of course there is senator johnson's race against mandela. an important race not just for wisconsin. if you care about uncovering so many of the things that happen during covid, the hunter biden investigation i would argue it's a race that is important for america. so, right back to you guys. [cheers] >> brian: thanks so much, rachel and the crowd roars. >> ainsley: hand it over to will cain is he? satellite beach, florida. good morning to you, will. >> will: good morning, ainsley. rachel, pete, i'm not saying i'm making this a competition, but florida has turned out.

[cheers] and they plan to turn out today. you have a senatorial race, marco rubio, val demings ron desantis is back up this time against charlie crist. everyone is up early. they're even coming before school. what grade? >> sixth. >> sixth grade here before school. and right out the back door, i have got a tropical storm brewing right now. i think they are saying could be a category 1 by the end of the day; however, let me tell you what is a storm red wave. any indication what we are seeing this morning. surf board said the red wave is coming. no pressure, lawrence. no pressure lawrence, no pressure, pete, no pressure, rachel, florida has turned out. back to you guys. [cheers and applause] >> ainsley: are they worried about the hurricane there? people still going to vote, vote early. [applause] ains i don't think he can hear me. >> brian: follow up with that question as soon as he can hear us. >> lawrence jones is live at the

smokehouse barbecue in gainesville, georgia. you would never tape this appearance you are definitely live. >> lawrence: good morning, family. it's a big day. election day. it's so great to be here in georgia. [. [cheers and applause] the reason why he are here. second week in a row end our tour going to all these swing states the diners, the pundits, people on the left said this was jim crow 2.0 here in georgia. but the people in georgia have set records whether it comes to voting. totally dispelling that myth. and there's a lot of people that are fired up about this race. when you look at the polling data right now, it is no doubt that brian kemp is going to defeat stacey abrams for a second time. [cheers and applause] but one race that everybody is looking at is between raphael warnock, the senator from georgia against herschel walker. and it is a dead heat. and it's all going to come down to these people showing up today

for election day, guys. so are you guys going to show up? [cheers and applause] i will send it back to you guys in new york. >> brian: all right. thanks so much, lawrence. there is a lot going on today in all these different cities. a lot of drama. i think you just wonder how long we are going to be covering georgia because without the 50% it goes to december 6th. senate race. >> steve: right, exactly. i think the governor is going to be pretty easy. i think we will know by the end of business today. but it could be a little while for the senate. >> brian: got that libertarian there got about 2% of the vote. >> steve: splitting the vote. >> ainsley: kevin corke is joining us live in washington with a more detailed breakdown of today's top races. hey, kevin. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and b.k. it is all over but the voting and the counting. and if the polls are any indication of what's yet to come, soon it will be time to pass the gavel on capitol hill. as all eyes now fall upon the battleground states with

republicans campaigning on improving the economy and, of course, fighting crime. but, in new york, democrat governor kathy hochul, who is trailing in many of the polls, is accusing her opponent, republican congressman lee zeldin of ginning up fears over crime. >> he has been hyper ventilating trying to scare people for months. and new yorkers are on to it. all these legitimate organizations have called him out for what he is doing. fear-mongering. >> zeldin's camp, of course rejects that alexandria ocasio-cortez. that characterization. john fetterman's senate campaign is suing to have undated and misdated ballots counted. even if his campaign release as memo warning of election result delays saying, quote: this race is close. and we should all be prepared for a process that takes several days before all eligible votes

are properly counted and the results are clear which, of course, halls many people worried about a 2020 reduck when joe biden was down close to million dollars but somehow found hundreds of thousands of votes to rally for the victory there. the buckeye state of ohio shades up elizabeth warren, the old beer and ballots trick where a politician looks to relate to joe's six pack by brandish aring a beer during the campaign in this case it was tim ryan of ohio, bringing out a can of suds during msnbc interview. >> ryan with his closing arguments on tonight's last word thank you very much. >> bring it home, lawrence. >> got charges we are going to bring it home. will. >> drinking a little light beer there apparently. in case you are wondering where in the world is joe biden, well he spent election eve night in the old line state of maryland where he stumped for, well,

comfortably a head candidate in a very deep blue state. at one point he appeared as if he almost forgot the name of the guy that he was supposed to be stumping for. listen. >> and, of course, you got that next governor, what's his name wes -- wes moore. [cheers] >> yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. wes moore. no events by the way planned today for the president or the white house. like a whole bunch of us he will be watching the results as they all come in tonight. back to you. steve: kevin, thank you very much. it's interesting that fetterman has now taken essentially the state to court because ultimately it -- see you, he is clear for now. he will be back in a little while. because state law requires a handwritten date on the outer envelope and the pennsylvania supreme court last week said you are going to have to set those aside and don't count them. here's the thing fetterman wants them counted because it's likely

tens of thousands of votes are undated or wrongly dated. and generally, mail-in ballots are used more by democrats than republicans, that means a lot of fetterman votes would not be counted. so owe wants them counted. this could be litigated over the next week or two. >> ainsley: a lot of people vote straight ticket. this time it's a little different because you look at your 401(k). you look at how much everything costs in the grocery store. you look at what is happening in our schools and there are a lot of people that aren't happy. they might normally vote democratically there might be a lot of independents they are voting republican in this election. that's why some of these are neck in neck. glenn youngkin is a prime example of that we saw what happened in virginia. he has been out stumping for many of these candidates all across the country. he was in new york. stumping for kari lake in arizona. he says that he believes the g.o.p. will regain full control of the house and the senate. he said voters are not happy and we need a different direction and that democrats had their

chance. listen. >> i hope joe biden hears this loud wake-up call that's coming tomorrow. >> amen. >> listen, we have not seen any democrat candidates profess anything close to common sense. [cheers and applause] and you hit it right on the nose. we have got inflation stealing everybodiens hard-earned money. they undermine our schools. they demean law enforcement. we have a wide open border. these are straightforward to go at and fix. that's why there is going to be a sea change tomorrow. >> brian: if that does indeed happen, people might point to the fact that the closing argument for many states including so-called stars has been democracy is in the balance. we might not -- according to some candidates, we might not have an election again if you elect a republican. even van jones came out, a noted democrat used to be an obama adviser i'm not too sure that's a strong move. and also there is a few issues that rotate here in new york. it's about crime. they say tudor dixon is making progress talking about education

and, of course, if you are in arizona, you talk about the wall and mark kelly has not been strong in that until the last few weeks. meanwhile, straight ahead on this show democrats calling to try to save a battleground state in new hampshire. going to hear from retired brigadier general don bolduc next. >> steve: plus, we're going to head straight back to pennsylvania where pete hegseth is having breakfast with friends on this tuesday morning at eagle diner, hey there, pete. >> with more and more friends. will, i'm telling you pennsylvania is giving florida a run for its money. you were here two years ago churches for trump. this year it's all about oz in pennsylvania. we are talking about voters. who is voting today?

our incredible senator, the most amazing woman, maggie hassan, continues her work. >> please, please, please send senator hassan back to washington to keep up the good work that we are doing together. >> says the secretary of transportation. joining us now is a republican senate candidate retired brigadier general don bolduc. what did you do, general? now you have all their so-called stars out to save maggie hassan. she was supposed to walk all over you when the democrats gave millions of dollars to your campaign so you would win. >> thank you, brian, it's great to be on. prison listen, careful what you wish for, right? they played it wrong. just like they played the economy wrong out of control spending, open border, everything that they do is a miscalculation because they do it for themselves. they don't do it for the people. and we have seen that time and time again. two years on the campaign trail,

85 -- 85 town halls. you know, working from the bottom up every town and city. she has not been out there doing the work. she brings in people who vote with her and joe biden 100% of the time. that's just signaling that she is not going to change that the misery index is going to continue to get high. we have a moral imperative to help granite staters in america so they are not choosing between eating and heating. >> brian: here is what they are saying about you and your candidacy and what it would mean if you went to the senate. listen. >> my opponent is the most exstrategic nominee for the u.s. senate in modern new hampshire history. if you are running for office, you are running to represent the state of new hampshire, but you are trying to rip the rights away from half of the popu population? that just tells everybody what they need to know about my opponent. an election denier working to

conceal how extreme his record is, eliminating social security, privatizing medicare and cutting it by over a trillion dollars. >> brian: do you want to take on that cartoonish characterization of you. >> sure. i would love to. first, i have said that, you know, the abortion issue is a state rights issue. new hampshire has a law. the governor, the legislation the people of new hampshire decided that. senator hassan doesn't realize this is no longer a federal issue. it's a state issue. and i support that. i will not cut social security. i will invest in social security. i will protect it and the same thing with medicare. she continues to spend $40 million on lies. and the granite staters are aware of that now. that's why there has been such a huge shift in the polls. 11 points down to now 1 or 2 points a&e head. so, granite staters understand that she is not working for them and that wants indicative of her

vote and the way she doubled down on not even defending her record. >> brian: general, you have done about 80 plus town halls since you decided to go on this. it was a distance race. now it's 1 point undecideds seemed to be breaking your election. what did you learn after doing those town halls and listening from the guy that started to the guy that finished, what did you learn after talking to all those people for all those months? >> well, what i learned was two years -- two years ago, you know, we didn't have these economic issues. we didn't have the high inflation and the high interest rates, the highest crime. the open borders, to the extent that we have them. it's really unbelievable. and i have -- i have witnessed that on the ground with granite staters and i have seen my life and their life change as a result of these bad decisions. and i have held the hands of moms and dads wondering how they are going to put food on the table. how they are going to be able to

make those decisions between heating and eating. this is what i learned. i learned that senator hassan has not helped the people of new hampshire nor will she if she is reelected. >> brian: she did not do one town hall. did a couple of zoom calls not even going to a dunkin' donut and talking to people. will general don bolduc no matter how it turns out everybody respects somebody who works that hard for that long. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you and god bless you. >> brian: thanks, general. multiple tours in afghanistan, too. coming up this weekend saturday and sunday i will be in brandon, mississippi. let's go to brandon and i will see you there saturday night. tickets available. just a few. and oklahoma it listeners hope to see you there in person red, white, and blue night like no other. and of course i will be talking about the president and the freedom fighter out on paperback. eyes on georgia today one of the most miley anticipated senate races taking shape.
