7:00 am
they might have the senate by a couple seats if they win pennsylvania. >> bill: we keep this. thank you, guy, nice to have you on today and we'll see whether or not that all happens. >> dana: fun to be with you last night on gutfield. thank you so much, guy. >> bill: thanks, guy. >> dana: it all comes down to this. voters across the country heading to the polls for mid-term elections deciding which party holds power on capitol hill for the next two years and that will determine the future of president biden's agenda. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer, good morning. >> dana: the first hour went by fast. >> bill: how did it go? >> dana: easy, smart, easy, smooth. >> bill: i voted early. went by my polling place this morning at 6:15. there was no one if line. >> dana: they already voted early. >> bill: that's the first time i've ever seen no one there. usually there is a line around
7:01 am
the corner. not this year. maybe a lot of people did what we did, voted early. polls are open this hour coast to coast. democrats bracing for what could be disappointing results fearing a red wave to wash away the grip on congress. the razor thin hold on the senate may slip away. one or more states considered a toss-up. voters looking at gas prices and crime and a growing threat to economic security, also your personal safety. >> dana: one key race pennsylvania. john fetterman is in a real battle with republican challenger dr. oz. they're fighting for every vote with their last pitches. watch here. >> every day i feel better and better. by january i will be even better. but, but, dr. oz will still be a fraud. [cheers and applause] he has made millions by scamming people. >> make sure we send the right
7:02 am
person to washington to represent your values and address the problems that are plaguing all of us in pennsylvania and the nation. this is bigger than just pennsylvania. >> bill: team fox coverage begins anew. a brand-new hour. jeff flock is in pennsylvania. alexis mcadams in new york. phil keating in florida. mark meredith is on his post in ohio and we have someone in arizona and an all-star lineup with us. >> dana: let's go to mark meredith in westerville, ohio, we saw a video earlier of j.d. vance voting in cincinnati. >> good morning. we sure did. he was at his polling place and a steady turnout in the northeastern suburbs of columbus. interesting to be ohio's next senator very close. it is surprising. this is a state that donald trump won back in 2020 by roughly eight points. republican senate candidate this
7:03 am
time around is j.d. vance, author, businessman and the first-time politician going up against democratic congressman tim ryan serving in congress for a long time since 2003. ryan has generated a lot of national headlines because he has been critical of the democratic party saying they're out of touch with working class voters but trying to appeal to trump supporters who may not be sold on vance. >> i think there is a lot of people who voted for donald trump who will be voting for me and their issues that are important to them are issues i agreed with trump on trade, on china, having a strong military. >> overnight the former president was back here in ohio. he was at the dayton airport holding a campaign rally for j.d. vance and the ohio republican ticket and trump squashed the idea that any supporters would be interested in seeing tim rian in washington. >> his opponent is making like
7:04 am
i'm his best friend. he is far left. he is not for us. he is a radical left lunatic trying to jump on the band wagon because that stuff failed so badly. >> trump was expected to talk a lot about the ohio ticket last night but kept most of us in suspense. we were wondering if he would announce any plans for 2024. instead he kicked the can to a week from today saying he will have an announcement in florida. we had a chance to hear from both campaigns in the last 24 hours saying they're cautiously optimistic. you can imagine a lot of people curious to see what comes out of ohio a little later on tonight. >> dana: mark meredith. thank you for the report. >> bill: from ohio we go to arizona. voters casting ballots for two hotly contested races. mark kelly trying to win re-election and flight off challenger blake masters and a tight race between kari lake the newcomeer and katie hobbs. more than 1.5 million votes cast
7:05 am
already but lines at polling stations still expected to be long. we'll watch that with alissa acuna live in paradise valley today. how goes it? our apologies. hang with us. maybe we'll get it back. a bit of a freeze shot there. we'll get it back and shake the satellites up there and get back to her to find out what's happening in arizona momentarily. stand by for more coming up. >> dana: watch this year. >> democracy as we know it may not survive in arizona. that's not an exaggeration, that is a fact. >> there is something else at stake. democracy itself. >> we're losing this democracy and it could very well be the end of the world. >> dana: democrat leaders including president biden are warning about threats to democracy in their closing pitch to voters. will it move the needle on election day? brett hume is the senior political analyst. it seems hyperbolic, the end of
7:06 am
democracy? >> i can't imagine any senseible voter hearing that message thinks because i might vote for the wrong party tomorrow that i might be bringing about the end of democracy? that's ridiculous. and i'm surprised they tried. there is an old technique in politics where you associate yourself with some sank filed cause, save the whales, save the earth, save the planet and then you accuse your opponent of trying to do the opposite. i just don't see how it works? >> bill: james clyburn said it could be the end of the world. >> dana: bear in mind on "fox news sunday" he was asked about that and first he denied he said it and then when she pointed out that he had indeed said it he said i misspoke. what he did not take back was that we're headed for nazi germany. he didn't say nazi but he said germany in the 1930s.
7:07 am
i don't believe many voters listened to that and said i don't see that. i just think it wreaks of desperation. who knows. >> dana: do you think the democrats completely missed the moment? they just weren't paying attention to what the voters were actually saying? that inflation in particular and crime was a real issue for them? even a democratic columnist for the "washington post" said why weren't they paying attention all along? >> i think it's part of the story of this election. democrats were so fixated on what they considered to be their achievements. the legislative achievements, all the spending and expected voters to be grateful for that and caught off guard and their first instinct was to deny that inflation would last, denied and say it's getting better and all the rest of it and voters could feel what they feel. it is simply not possible when people are feeling something the way they feel inflation, everybody feels it.
7:08 am
even if you can afford it you still feel it and you don't like it. so if you try to tell people it is temporary and not happening, people aren't going to buy that. >> bill: how much consideration have you given to post november 8th? i saw a clip bret ran with you the other night you standing up with clinton and you asked him about the results of the election. he had a very good quip to come back. but maybe the red team does very well today. and if they do, what would you expect biden policies -- >> the choice he has to make is whether he will be the president many of us thought he would be, and that means he would work with republicans to some extent and moderate his agenda and wouldn't go hard left the way clinton did and the way biden has done and if he does that, have in real choice. republicans get control of both
7:09 am
houses he will have no choice. he won't be able to pass any of this progressive stuff if they lose both houses. even if they lose the house legislatively he won't be able to do much. when it comes to appointments it depends on the senate. the senate is supposedly very close. we'll see. >> dana: the white house press corps where you used to be a member. they asked the white house press office will president biden have a press conference on wednesday, which is traditional and what presidents do and know when president obama said they had a shellacking in 2010 and president bush said they got a thumping in 2006. the white house won't commit to that. >> i don't think -- he may choose not to come out tomorrow if they get a bad pounding but he will have to say something. the voters will expect the president to come out and respond to what has happened, to tell us what his takeaway is from the message sent by the voters. he has to do that one way or
7:10 am
another. i think we may have to be patient. but he has to do it and i think at some point he will. >> bill: the policies, they've been stubborn. the personnel have been consistent. i don't know anyone off the top of my head who has been fired in the last two years. is this the way joe biden manages? >> well, i think -- this cabinet in my judgment is the weakest cabinet i've seen since i've been covering politics and there have been some bad ones in other administration. this group is decidedly weak. he would do well to shake up his cabinet. i think what happened is he got in and wanted the cabinet that looks like america so he was checking boxes and making the appointments and not necessarily looking for the people best able to do the job and meet the challenges and the rest of it. you have the crisis at the border and the dhs guy mayorkas
7:11 am
seems feckless and feeble. jennifer granholm is energy, i guess, she doesn't know what the price of gasoline is. this is a weak cabinet. the national security and defense, state and defense are stronger members there. but the rest of the cabinet seems to me to be noticeably weak and a shake-up would probably give him a new. >> dana: some might decide to leave on their own. >> bill: see if he uses the word shake-up. >> everything could be said about the election has been said. not everybody has said it yet. >> dana: we'll have another chance to see you tonight at 6:00 p.m. on that special coverage. thank you, great to see you. >> bill: we got a good shake-up of the satellite. how is the early voting there
7:12 am
today. >> good morning, bill. things are busy and we scooted away, the technical gremlins and we're good here. 2/3 of the state voters reside where i'm standing in maricopa county. election officials expect 300,000 people to show up today. democrats who have won arizona in the last few election cycles kept their messages in the middle. republican senate hopeful blake masters seized on that over incumbent senator mark kelly. >> pretending to be a center right republican. he is lying through his teeth. sorry, it is not going to work. he is lying about himself. he said i stand up to joe biden. >> i make every decision how i will vote on legislation based on what is in the best interests of arizona. i don't consider if the president supports this or if my republicans or democratic colleagues. that doesn't matter to me. >> in the governor's race republican kari lake continues to question if president biden
7:13 am
won here in 2020. >> they want us to believe that that guy won 81 million votes. don't insult our intelligence. when i become governor we are going to reform our elections and bring back honest, fair, and transparent elections. >> and her opponent katie hobbs feels no comfort even with biden's arizona win and the state's two sitting democratic senators. >> this seat is still a red state. we're a battleground state. the majority of republicans have a 7% registration advantage over democrats. and so we are exactly where we thought we would be in terms of the closeness of this race. >> bill, as you know, both of these races are neck-and-neck. >> bill: thanks, near phoenix. >> dana: voting underway in florida. republican senator marco rubio fighting to keep his seat.
7:14 am
we're live in the sunshine state and that's next. >> bill: the mid-terms and your money. what the results could mean for president biden's spending agenda and inflation. our own money man charles payne is coming in on election day 2022. what's up, charles? ♪ it's called the newday 100 because it lets veterans borrow up to 100% of their home's value. not just 80% like some typical loans. that extra cash can make a huge difference in these times of skyrocketing prices. here's more good news: home values have skyrocketed too. that means even more cash! take out an average of $60,000 to pay down your high-rate credit card debt, consolidate your second mortgage, personal loans, and car loans, and lower your payments by $600 every month. best of all, there are absolutely no upfront

7:19 am
7:20 am
>> dana: all-out battle in florida, republican senator marco rubio seeking a third term meeting his most formidable challenge yesterday in congressman val demings. phil keating is live in miami. rubio considered to have the edge, right? >> he definitely does. he has for weeks, if not months. this is the closest race he is ever going to have for a u.s. senate since being elected in 2010. 4.8 million voters in florida to be exact have voted. that's about a third of all regi registered voters in the entire state. explains why the long line typically outside the door is very thin. so many people voting early.
7:21 am
keep in mind for many floridians today it is a rain day, rain gear umbrella day. strengthening tropical storm nicole is approaching and the outer bands of rains are expected throughout the day. a big ticket item as we mentioned is the senate race. marco rubio aiming for the third term. he had an end of the campaign rally yesterday evening with governor ron desantis urging voters to make a statement. >> i'm talking about not just winning the election. one of the wins so big that it sends a very clear message that we won't let anyone destroy our state and we're not going to let anyone destroy our country. >> his challenger is former orlando police chief val demings. she was in broward county with charlie crist. outraised rubio by $25 million.
7:22 am
>> protecting people's rights and women's rights is not easy. protecting voting rights is not easy. >> as far as early voting goes, republicans registered republicans have outpaced democrats and as far as mail-in balloting goes, the democrats have out performed the republicans. today election day for both parties is all about turnout. for so many floridians today it is really the day to prepare for the oncoming category 1 hurricane nicole. time to prepare. >> dana: phil keating. thank you so much. be safe down there. you can hear the wind already. >> bill: today's mid-terms have a big effect on your money. who better to explain that our money man, charles payne. i will give you the red carpet and frame it for us before we get some questions. >> let's talk about the market
7:23 am
first because the good news is that typically the market goes up from this point on from mid-terms to the next year. in fact, the track record is remarkable. the last several years has been 12%, 5%, 4% over the next year, 6%. you have years with 22%, 25%. a lot of that has to do with how much we're down right now. it is more prevalent with a first year democrat in the office. the decline is so much larger so you get a pretty good bounce. one of the reasons i think for this is -- i think we'll see it, turning off the spigots. the 11 things most important. number one was the economy, number two inflation. at the bottom of the list was donald trump. at the very bottom number 11, number ten was climate change. democrats spent the entire year focused on donald trump from the
7:24 am
january 6th hearings. demonizing the voters. they took policy, including higher taxes, billions of dollars and regulations that eventually will make it illegal to drive a combustion engine car to focus on number ten and they sparked runaway inflation, number two, leading to a recession, how deep we don't know. so by focusing on the 10th most important thing they ruined the lives of so many americans and i think that's what this election is all about. i think main street and wall street knows that. >> dana: you listen to kevin has yet who worked on the council on economic advisors on what happened in the last two years with biden. >> bill: 6% growth in the fourth quarter before biden was inaug inaugurated. inflation was in the 1s. the democrats came in on a completely partisan basis passed this massive spending increase that we didn't need anymore because we weren't in ruins. >> dana: for people voting today
7:25 am
on their pocketbook, most of the people, if there is a change at least in the house, maybe in the senate, is anything going to change for them in the next year? >> i think things will change. and first of all cutting off the spigots because again that 1.9 trillion they wanted it to be 3 or 4 or 5 trillion. it could have been a lot worse. the most recent credit card data came in yesterday. 1.1 trillion, all-time record. the low after the pandemic we started not using our credit cards was march of 2021. why that is such an important date. everything goes back to march of 2021 when the 1.9 trillion was passed. ever since that moment credit card debt went through the roof. inflation has gone up. ever since that day. they understand this. that when you give people money, i get a check of $1400 and go to
7:26 am
the mall. i will buying something else i like and i'll buy that, too. how can debt still go up and have a record amount of debt, credit card debt through the roof at the same time we are getting free money? it is by design. you go in the store, spend your $1400 and spend another $4 hundred and you get a great gdp number but you get us where we are today, inflation crisis. >> bill: maybe we'll be on the verge of gridlock and your first answer will be correct. look forward to seeing you this afternoon. >> dana: voters casting their ballots across the country. we'll break down numbers and what they reveal about early momentum. the race for governor of deep blue new york looking surprisingly close. what the candidates had to say in the final stretch. ♪

7:32 am
>> dana: polls are open in new york where voters are choosing their governor. rising crime and liberal bail laws have become central issues in the race between kathy hochul and lee zeldin. alexis mcadams is live in new york city. this has been surprisingly close for kathy hochul. people who support lee zeldin think he has a real chance. >> that's exactly right. he is fired up and ready. he thinks that he can win this race here for the governor of new york, which would be historic for him as a republican. crime is the reason it's so close. it is not a surprise if you live here. we've been hearing about it.
7:33 am
in recent weeks hochul's lead has disappeared. a lot of people in new york say they don't feel safe. talking about the polling locations we're at live we're live on the upper east side. take a live look at the hunter college area where people are coming in to vote this morning. voters across the state tell us everything from their safety to the economy and abortion rights are at issue this election. listen. >> guns, gun violence, staffing issues for our hospitals, but also well, as a woman certainly roe v. wade. >> democratic governor kathy hochul and republican lee zeldin are hitting the campaign trail hard to convince voters they are the best choice. as crime surges across the city it has become the top priority for voters and focus for both candidates. governor hochul shifted her focus to crime and touting her
7:34 am
record on taking illegal guns off the streets saying new york is one of the safest cities in the country. >> my opponent is working so hard to keep people scared and i'm working so hard to keep people safe. >> congressman zeldin has been talking about crime since day one and worked to tie hochul's policies to the rise in crime across new york telling voters the incumbent is just pretending the city is safer than it really is. >> republicans, democrats and independents have had enough. they don't want to be gas lit or look away. they want boldness and courage from their elected officials to make the streets and subways safe again. >> polls close tonight at 9:00 across new york. we look forward to hearing from both candidates on election day. >> dana: a pretty day today. >> bill: i want to show some folks advance early vote. a big deal. i was popping around a bunch of different states. not conclusive at all. here is what i find.
7:35 am
georgia has had a very strong turnout among advance voting. senate and governor race as well. early in person voting 2.2 million. for a total of 2.5. almost 36% of the total statewide vote. very impressive. that's better than they did in 2018. it is real close to the numbers they did in the presidential race of 2020. down here in florida kind of a similar story, right? 33%. a third of the vote statewide in florida chose to vote early in person or by mail as well. i will show you a few others here. i find this interesting because some states do it this way and other states do it the old-fashioned way. 30% now the total vote in north carolina. if i could, i will take the liberty and try to pop out here to nevada just want to close this loop here. good senate race there. good governors race there in nevada. so you are at 30% in nevada of the total vote in. i will show you one more. let's clear this and pop down to
7:36 am
arizona and see what we get. okay, masters and kelly on the senate side. you are almost 35% in arizona as well. gives you a bit of a sample about how people are choosing to vote. remember it came through the pandemic in 2020. it became more popular. we'll see the effect on party turnout. democrats like to vote early. republicans not so much and like to do it in person. see whether or not the margins change on that and might tell us a very interesting story. >> dana: join us for more on this is josh. if you are done looking at the polls does the early vote tell you anything? >> we no longer in most states have an election day, we have an election week or month in some states. as bill was saying, it is breaking down along partisan lines in terms of how people vote so democrats mostly have been the ones taking the opportunity to vote early whereas republicans are much more likely to vote on election
7:37 am
day. so that helps show us to be patient on election night. some states will report that early vote first. some states will report the election night vote first. what democrats, they like the turnout numbers and there are a lot of voters voting early. what they worry about, though, is maybe some of those voters that would vote on election day are voting early. maybe the turnout maybe not quite as good as what they were hoping. >> bill: will you write a story that talks about republicans voting early? do you think there could be this fundamental shift after what we went through in 2020 that if you want to make sure it counts, you better make sure it gets in whether it's election day or prior. >> in 2020 president trump dissuaded a lot of voters from voting early. we don't have that same perhaps reminder or pressure this year. look, i do expect a partisan breakdown in the early vote
7:38 am
versus the day of. i think the early vote will be predominantly democrat and election day vote prominently republican. >> dana: the house is likely to go to republicans. they have run good races and have a lot of diverse candidates and we'll see that in the house. what is your view on the senate? will republicans take over the majority? >> senate will come down to the wire. you have three states to look at very closely. pennsylvania with dr. oz and john fetterman. georgia which a lot of republicans i talk to think it might go to a runoff. we may have another month of elections to talk about in georgia. nevada. nevada i think republicans are the most confident about the nevada senate race. polling has continued to show that race tight and it is still winnable for democrats in senator cortez masto. blake masters with late momentum in the campaign in arizona. close races where lots of money has been poured in and it will
7:39 am
come down to the wire. >> bill: i think there is probably 1,000 story lines this time tomorrow, right? >> one of the story lines, the blue states. states that normally we don't talk about on election night because they're democratic. california, new york, oregon. these governors and house races in the battlegrounds will be very important. >> dana: maybe even colorado. i had to mention it. >> bill: we could keep going. >> dana: we'll see you tonight. >> bill: a key demographic to watch, suburban women. martha maccallum is on that coming up in a moment. gearing up for tonight's coverage. brett re bret and martha will begin at 6:00 eastern time right after dana gets off "the five" and we'll have it from there until however long it takes here on the fox news channel. democracy 2022. ♪

7:44 am
>> bill: some have dismissed them as the group known as soccer moms. suburban women in america are seen as one of the more powerful
7:45 am
and sought after voting blocks in the country. this election cycle they appear to lean toward the republicans. martha maccallum is here to talk about that. >> never dismiss soccer moms. not nice to dismiss them. >> bill: part of what got our attention on this topic was a week ago the "wall street journal" came out with a poll that suggested that i believe i have the numbers right, in august they were 13% on the democratic team and by mid october they had moved into 13 or 15 points toward republicans there about. is that about right? >> a 27-point move toward the right by white suburban women in the "wall street journal" poll. a "new york times" today says it's broader than that. they talked to women of all different diverse backgrounds. close to the city and further out from the city and tried to get a sense of what is on their minds. interesting when you look back at the soccer moms in 1996 who voted for bill clinton, the things that they wanted that
7:46 am
they got in that vote was a tougher crime bill and reading tutors in schools. that's what they wanted. >> bill: joe biden was in the senate then, right? and he voted for the crime bill. >> they wanted those things. when you look at the other things they wanted. optimism and common sense. i think this is where most moms live, right? they just want someone who is optimistic about the future. they are very concerned. the words that popped up in the "new yo "new york times" piece, strain, concern, pessimism about the future, strain about their kids' education. i think one of the things that will translate big time is people are very upset about this covid learning loss and upset about where the nation is even before covid. our kids are not being taught what they need to be taught in order to be competitive in the world.
7:47 am
17, 18, 38, reading, math and science. it is pathetic. this is a big concern. i think when you look at those issues of that crime bill, reading tutors, you could do those two things today and you would win voters. >> dana: a lot of moms are the ones that handle the family checkbook and talk about strain. >> they're worried. mothers who were quoted in this piece talked about really wanting to buy a house, young women who wanted to buy a house in the neighborhood they grew up in. can't afford it. that's a strain. they are looking for a way to be more optimistic and to embrace the american dream in a way that they always thought they could and now there is a lot of fear, worry, strain, concern. >> bill: think about the emotion you tried to describe in this segment. pessimism. pessimism goes a long way when you are negative about what is happening with your own family and community and how you want it or will it or wish it to be
7:48 am
better. >> i'm reminded of watching former president obama on the campaign trail. don't mope was the message. his whole thing was hope and change. you have optimistic candidates. >> dana: now on the pundit level don't be so doom and gloom. >> those are powerful emotions. you put crime and fear about what is happening in the neighborhood and stolen cars. >> dana: one mom said she is looking for a little kindness. optimism and kindness. see you tonight at 6:00 p.m.enter the economy, inflation and crime are top of mind for many voters this election day. with gas prices high it means energy production especially after president biden's pledge to shut down all coal plants. mike rowe will join us how all this affects how people vote
7:49 am
today. we'll also be in pennsylvania. and maybe a lot more than you think. if you need cash to stay ahead, call newday. use your va home loan benefit to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. not just 80% like some other lenders. take out an average of $60,000 and lower your payments by $600 a month with the newday 100 va cash out loan. pay down high-rate credit cards, personal loans, even car loans. missed a payment along the way? newday's been granted automatic authority by the va. we look at your whole picture. when lenders say no to a veteran, newday can say yes. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that.

>> bill: president biden raising blendsy of eyebrows when he said coal plants across america will be shut cowen to make way for wind and solar including folks who live in pennsylvania, the second largest energy producing state in the country. how have candidates handled energy, production and fracking? jeff flock is live in pennsylvania with the answer today. good morning. >> good morning to you. hazelton is a town built by the coal industry. fossil fuels huge here, oil and gas big as well. when it comes to the candidates it is hard to be against it and get elected in the state. john fetterman, pictures of him voting this morning in western pennsylvania, also big coal and gas country. he initially was opposed to fracking. but later on changed his tune said he opposed a ban on it and
7:55 am
now says he is firmly behind it. dr. oz voting this morning initially had concerns about fracking, too. he had health concerns. he was worried about that. now he says he is also firmly behind fracking. it is hard not to be for it in this state, which is number two in the nation in the production of natural gas, second only to texas and most of that comes from fracking. also supports about half a million jobs in this state, oil and gas with 40 billion paid out in wages and twice that in economic impact. indeed, bill, there are people in the state who are opposed to fossil fuels and like the green agenda. they just don't live anywhere around here. back to you. >> bill: wow. jeff, thank you. you are very near two congressional districts we're watching very carefully in northeastern pennsylvania. thank you, jeff, good to see
7:56 am
you. jeff flock in pennsylvania. >> dana: let's bring in mike rowe of the mike rowe works foundation, executive producer of how america works on fox business. an election can focus the support of energy as it gets down in the final stretch. >> i think so. it is a year round topic but funny the way it has built and built and built. funny, too, the way i've seen this story sort of spool out. on the one hand we talk about what the president said and what it means. on the other hand we're talking about what the president meant to say and what we think he thought he meant. and that's fascinating to me. i have just personally i kind of reject the whole idea that we need to look into a magic eight ball to figure it out. he is the leader of the free world and he spoke clearly and said exactly what it seems like he believes and what he said is totally consistent with everything i've seen him do in
7:57 am
this space. fossil fuels are either the enemy and the end of the world in 12 years or it's not. >> bill: you make your living communicating and you are really good at it. >> thanks. >> bill: it seems like there is a cleanup on aisle four every other day. what the white house says is don't believe your lying ears, what you heard is not what you heard time and again. >> yes, and why would we do anything other than nod and say no, sorry, he is the leader of the free world. he is our president. he said it. we don't need interpretive dance or hand puppets or some other thing to break through the confusion of a couple simple direct sentences. we know where the man is coming from. it's okay, god bless. opinions vary. but the issue of our times, i think, is going to be true or false, fossil fuels are our enemy. that's how the table has been set. it is pretty clear. >> dana: what is the practical
7:58 am
effects and consequences of the keystone pipeline decision on president biden's first day in office? that portended a lot of other energy-related jobs that never materialized. remember when john kerry said they can go get a green job. that didn't materialize. >> it is a theme, right? do you know selena zito? she wrote the answer to your question, right? this morning in her column she talks about the four moments that define the last two years. the first was cancellation of keystone. the second i believe had to do with 13 empty chairs in the after math of the afghan withdrawal, right? and i forget what the third one was. the fourth one was the picture last week of the coal miner sitting there. it is all of those moments together, you know, the whole is greater than the sum of the
7:59 am
parts. in pictures you can see again and again, i think, where people look at a thing, hear a different thing, and are left to conclude yet another thing. >> bill: there are those who believe that -- i think brit hume is one of them. that this last two years started going downhill when democrats won both senate seats in georgia. because once that happened, all the ropes were off. you could not restrain this government led by one party. >> yeah. britt is a smart guy. i don't watch it nearly as closely as you guys do. that's the human condition, right? we need parameters. sometimes the blank page is the scariest thing in the world. you need to know where the lines are. you need the map. the old maps that used to say here be dragons outside the parameter. yeah, i think that's what he was getting at.
8:00 am
okay, blank slate. the world is your oyster, now what? >> dana: there will be change. one thing everybody needs to know as you watch today. tomorrow washington is different because everyone agrees that at least the house is going to go to the republicans and maybe from some of the people that do the dirty jobs that we desperately need across the country will have a little hope as well. >> thank you. but it is not just labor and management, it is energy, it is all of us. >> dana: thank you, mike rowe. thank you for being with us. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert. game on. election day in america. voters are hitting the polls from dawn to dusk. choosing who they want to have in the majority in the house and senate. 36 governor seats in play and local leaders including even school board members being chosen today. it is busy and you are on as the voter. i'm harris faulkner and are you in "the
