get your prescription and check out another hit by sylvester stallone. we are hoping "over the top 2" comes out. >> my elbow hurts essentially. >> brian: what about the extra that got cut out of "the godfather? "the six rounds. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> ainsley: god bless you, thank you. >> any time from any time. >> ainsley: have a great >> bill: good morning, everybody. we don't know, a question mark. it is day four as we say good morning i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: bill hemmer the legend, the american legend at the billboard. you are. you did a great job. >> bill: i appreciate that, thank you >> dana: really great, 100%. you want more praise? you get all the praise. we're still awaiting the results of three dozen house races.

republicans inching closer to 218. they're confident they'll get there. it hasn't happened yet. >> bill: president biden on his way to a u.n. climate summit in egypt arguing democrats still have a path of keeping the house in their corner. >> president biden: well, you know, it's still alive. it's still alive. like drawing an inside straight. it's still alive. >> bill: senate a coin toss. three seats in play. georgia will be a runoff in december. arizona and nevada the count continues in both states. >> dana: the process of verifying mail-in ballots and it is drawing criticism from the "wall street journal" who say the system is way too slow. >> bill: james freeman from the "wall street journal." jonathan serrie is in georgia and jonathan hunt is trying to figure out what's going on in vegas. >> what's another 24 to 36 hours between friends when we've

waited this long? it is slow, it is methodical, and it is being done according to officials here, according to the letter of the election law. the counting is continuing there. in two of the most populous counties in nevada, one in the north and down here in clark county where 75% of the state's population lives. it is ongoing and one of the reasons for that is that mail-in ballots provided they were postmarked on election day itself, november 8th, can arrive as late as tomorrow and they still have to be counted. the registrar in clark county says they can do this right or they can do it fast. listen here. >> we're working as hard as we possibly can in order to get the ballots counted. whether we like it or not, there is no way that we can move any faster than we're currently moving. >> so incumbent democratic

senator cortez masto is still trailing the republican challenger laxalt. but that margin has narrowed overnight. now less than 1%. so this is a real kwicer. although adam laxalt is still confident that he will pull out the victory. listen again. >> a lot of hard work, incredibly tough race. but we'll win this thing hopefully and the important race for the country and my great state. >> we have not heard from the cortez mass tow campaign since the last batch of results. it might be a sign of confidence or concern. one more note on adam laxalt. he said in the same interview, bill, that they had observers and lawyers every where and yet he made no allegations whatsoever of fraud or corruption. that might be logical given that he remains in the lead. we'll see if it remains the case

if he starts falling behind. >> bill: nice to see you in vegas. back to you throughout the morning. onto the race that could determine control of the senate. count down is on in georgia. 21 days between the runoff of walker and warnock. jonathon seary is in atlanta. >> with the balance of power in washington at state millions of dollars are flowing into the u.s. senate runoff in georgia. herschel walker's campaign has raised more than $4 million since wednesday when state elections officials confirmed the race was heading to a runoff. last night ted cruz joined walker for a large rally in can ton 40 miles north of atlanta. >> i've got to tell you, there is no state in the union with a bigger divide between their senators and the values of the state. >> the walker campaign linked senator warnock to president joe biden and other national democrats who they accuse of

being wrong on the economy and soft on crime. but in georgia, where trump-endorsed candidates lost state-wide primaries or in walker's case underperformed in the general election warnock is trying to win moderates and independents. >> those of you who made a different choice this time, whether for herschel walker or someone else, i want to speak directly to you. over the next four weeks, i hope you will give me the opportunity to earn your vote. >> the democratic senatorial committee announced it is giving $7 million to warnock's campaign and republican governor brian kemp, who easily won re-election this week, is loaning his get out the vote operation to mitch mcconnell-aligned super pac senate leadership fund. that's the largest top outside group helping the herschel walker campaign, bill. >> bill: it could make a

difference. jonathan serrie in atlanta. >> dana: let's bring in james freeman assistant editor of the "wall street journal" editorial page. they write it takes too long to count votes. control of congress is a mystery thanks to late mail ballots. i noted yesterday brazil had an election two weeks ago and they counted faster than we did. >> it's frustrating. voters deserve a prompt result and it can be done in brazil and all over the u.s. people look at the florida models. they're regularly reporting results election night. georgia or onto the runoff having resolved a close race. yet you have a handful of states that have a process designed essentially to drag this out. arizona, nevada, california, and all it does is undermine confidence in the system. make people raise questions and wonder what's going on. >> bill: i agree with you. the end line of that piece that dana quoted here, florida managed to count 7 million votes within hours on tuesday in part

because it pre-processes incoming mail ballots and has an election day deadline. so far the u.s. has been las vegas lucky in avoiding a mail vote debacle but only a fool keeps spinning that roulette wheel. kevin mccarthy talked about the house and the majority he expects and predicts. >> we look at it. what was our mission? to win the majority, stop biden's agenda and fire nancy pelosi. all of that is accomplished. remember in the house they don't give gavels out small, medium and large, they just give you the gavel. we'll be able to govern. >> bill: if you get by one vote you have the majority. on the senate side, however, here is the following scenario i see developing. if laxalt hangs on to win, that georgia race gets a lot of attention. if laxalt loses his lead to the

democrat cortez mass tow and if masto wins in nevada georgia almost becomes insignificant. >> as long as kamala harris is in lock step with the white house. as long as she is there with the white house, it is largely irrelevant in terms of being able to get things in the senate whether they've got one more or not. i think laxalt seems to feel pretty good about where he is and then you look at georgia, that went to a runoff in part because of the libertarian got 2%. i think those are naturally republican voters. betting markets say it will be a democratic senate. i think republicans should keep hope alive on that score. >> dana: one of the things that is curious sorting it out after the election is that independents usually go for the out party in a mid-term election. they did not this time. they split evenly but leaned more democrat and stayed with

them. what lesson should republicans learn from that? >> i think significantly people who did not close well the ended to be people who had denied the results of the 2020 election. now, it's a free country. people are aloued to raise questions and there are a lot of legitimate questions about the pandemic voting changes and whether they were all done properly. but ultimately, obviously there were court deciding on these issues, you get a result. voters are saying they don't like it when people don't accept the results. >> bill: we may not get results until midweek next week. what do you think the future is for the florida governor ron desantis after this win on tuesday? >> it's a huge future. he is a contender and he is probably -- you look at the result saying he ought to run for president. i think there are others who could make strong candidates as

well. glenn youngkin, kim reynolds in iowa. tim scott. you have potentially a strong field next time for republicans. i hope a big takeaway is let's rethink these california-style voting rules where you have elections go on forever and the counting goes on forever and even early voting. you look at the fetterman result. i think voters should have known his condition, however they wanted to react to it, before they voted. >> dana: president is not going the give people a lot of time to think about that. he will announce on tuesday night. do you think it makes it more or less likely additional people get into the race? it's a long race. >> his presence probably does scare some people off but -- i think over time -- it is going to be a difficult challenge for desantis let's say. but i think desantis can ultimately persuade republicans you can respect the policy victories of the trump

presidency but also realize we can compete for a much broader electorate, much broader voting population and win if we go in another direction. >> bill: in the fall of 20 -- i'm not suggesting we get to a large number again. do we get halfway there, 8 or 9 people? >> you might. it raises the question whether you could see a repeat. i think one of the reasons trump succeeded in 2016 was that it was a big you would say impressive field. you could say a lot of establishment guys but a lot of people who had put up some impressive records in their various states. so he was able, initially with 25, 30 percent to dominate those primaries. if that story is rerun again i would hope there would be some

thought to when is the time to get out and back somebody who could win? >> bill: everybody is right right now. we'll know the answer in the next week or month the answer on that side. have a great week. >> dana: gop headed for a slim majority in the house the speakership is looking more precarious for mccarthy. >> devastation in florida. it left a few homes dangling on the edge of the cliff. the cleanup happening in places like daytona beach. >> dana: inflation is slowing down but still at the highest level in decades. white house and wall street itself are both optimistic. should you be, too? >> it will take time to get inflation back the normal levels. we can see setbacks along the way. we're laser focused on it. maybe it's perfecting that special place that you want to keep in the family...

>> dana: tropical depression nicole bringing heavy rain up north. five people were killed yesterday and dozens of seaside homes are now under water. some hanging on by a thread. phil keating is live in wilbur by the sea. it was a rough day yesterday. beautiful today. >> absolutely it was. i'm standing on what is left behind. american dream for so many millions of people is exactly this. your house is on the beach. you watch the sun rise over the atlantic every morning and your backyard is the beach. now the backyard is gone and houses perched on the sandy foundation that remains. that's how much erosion hurricane nicole brought in on wednesday. you can see where the outer sea wall is.

that's where the sea wall was all the way up and down the beach here in wilbur by the sea. six weeks ago hurricane ian took out the sea wall. what hurricane nicole comes in it just takes all the sand away and now all of these are basically condemned at this point. uninhabitable. 25 coastal properties and north of here in daytona beach shores, 50 properties there, condos and houses have all been ruled uninhabitable. the worst of hurricane nicole's damage was here. very dramatic videos showing the companies line. house after house after house. believe it or not, some of these people think they can actually rebuild it and save their houses. these are all 1, 2, $3 million properties. again, at least five people did die in this hurricane. dana. >> dana: you answered a question

i would ask. can they rebuild? you had the answer for us. we wish the best for everybody. >> they will need a lot of engineers first. >> dana: and sand. thank you so much. >> yeah. >> president biden: inflation came down last month. mainstream economists are saying it's a sign of the resilience of the economic recovery. we're laser focused on it and why it's so critical for us to pass important legislation to lower the cost for families. >> bill: the argument in the afternoon yesterday the president claiming his economic plan is working. latest inflation report might suggest things are cooling down. the cost of everyday basics still hovering near the highest level we've seen in decades. friday money team here to have it out. steve moore and austan goolsbee. it has been two weeks. during the commercial break you were both debating that you would get the nod here. austan we go to you.

do you -- are you convinced that the inflation number is cooling or do you, like so many others, believe we need more data to make that conclusion? >> oh, i absolutely think we need more data to make that conclusion. it was a good month in the slowing and especially just the new information for that month fell down around the 4% inflation rate. but even 4% would still be too high for core inflation. this has happened before. let's not everybody say mission accomplished. we'll definitely need to see this continue for months before we start feeling better. >> bill: he is on the record. what about you, steve? >> well, the stock market loved that report, bill. we saw a huge, huge gain, which i love to see. i like it when people make money. but i'm not quite as bullish on this report as the president is or austan is. we have now had nine months,

bill, of inflation at around 8% or above. that's horrific. those are terrible numbers. we aren't out of the woods. i will give you one example of something that people should be concerned about. look at diesel prices. those continue to rise. why does that matter? because everything that's delivered across the country, bill, is on trucks, right? and trucks use diesel. and that raises the price of everything. so i am worried about this. one other thing that people i think should keep in mind. the other thing that joe biden said yesterday is all of this massive spending that was authorized in recent months, that hasn't even kicked into the economy yet. he was boasting about that. my point is we know what caused the inflation is this massive infusion of spending. we will see more of that in 2023 and i think that's going to make the inflation worse. >> bill: october energy inflation here are the numbers, gas up 17%, electricity 14, utilities 14, fuel oil 68.

i know a lot of folks across the country, in the northeast you get your heat for your home through fuel oil. the truck comes to your house and fills up the tank. inflation outpacing wages yet again. wages up about 5%, inflation up about 8%. your money does not good as far. austan. if republicans -- >> you have to be a little careful with that number there, bill. because the wage number is just for the recent period and the 8% is for the whole year. if you look at just this month, we finally got to a period where the average wages were going up a little bit more than the average inflation was during the same period. but like i say, steve is not wrong that if you have fuel costs going up, that is going to filter into others and like these supply shocks we've been dealing with. so i was a little surprised that the market reacted as positively

from legitimately good report but, the dow will go up 1,000 or 1200 points, maybe there is some overreaction in that. >> bill: i really want to get to this. the market sure liked it. i grant you both that. maybe the dead cat bounced as they say in wall street. jerome powell said we have a ways to go. both of you agree with that based on what i just heard. just had an election. let's say republicans have a slim majority in the house and control that chamber. i don't know what happens in the senate. we don't know that for another month. steve, the outcome of the election on paper as they we think it stands today does it help the picture by slowing down the spending in washington. >> no sugar coating this. it was a lousy election night for republicans. but what the market took away from this. in the last couple of days it was in doubt. the republicans will control the

house. that is certain now, bill. and that means for the first time in two years we'll have a check and balance. now it is not the check and balance i would have liked to have seen. i know austan has a smile on his face this week. but it will mean that now not having nancy pelosi in the speaker's office but the republicans controlling the house is that check and balance i think that the markets love. the market tends to go up faster over time when you have divided power, not one party controlling all of it. >> bill: austan, steve moore saw a silver lining. what do you see? >> he did. the thing is, i think the reality of the u.s. system is after your first 1 to 2 years in office as president, you don't really get to do very much legislatively at all. your mandate is over and everybody gets ready for the next presidential election. i don't know that this result is going to make that big of a

difference. i don't think that with the republicans in charge of even one chamber there is not going to be a lot of legislation coming through like what we had in the previous years and the same pattern played out under trump and the same pattern played out under obama. >> i'm in arizona now. do not write off that senate race here in arizona. there are still several hundred thousand votes to be counted here. folks say it will be a razor tight senate race as well as the republican will win the governor's race here. >> bill: we'll see how it goes. austan, enjoy the clouds in chicago this time of year and steve, enjoy arizona. >> dana: federal court striking down the hand out plan and the judge said it is unconstitutional and what the white house plans to do next. president biden in egypt set to

deliver a major address on the climate agenda days after slamming the coal industry. does he have a plan to lower energy costs this winter? >> it's the most reliable form of energy we have. if it weren't for coal, you know, our energy grid now would come to a standstill. static bre. when your time is threatened, it's hard to invest in your future. until now. younger women are living longer with kisqali when taken with an aromatase inhibitor in hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's proven to delay disease progression. kisqali can cause lung problems, or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain... a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain,

political division in our country but it is fundamental to the survival of our republican that the separation of powers be reserved. he argues the biden administration by passed congress by creating the $4 hundred billion student loan forgiveness program under a 2003 law. he says the heroes act was intended to provide loan assistance to military personnel defending our nation. president biden made the case the pandemic is a national emergency that allows his administration to forgive between 10,000 to $20,000 in loans. the job creators network filed the lawsuit. it had this reaction to the ruling. this attempted illegal student loan bail-out would have done nothing to address the root cause of unaffordable tuition. greedy and bloated colleges that raise tuition far more than inflation year after year while sitting on $7 hundred billion in endowments. we hope the court's decision

today will lay the ground work for real solutions to the student loan crisis. white house press secretary has filed and appeal and says the department of education will hold onto the info of the 26 million people who applied to be part of this program in case the biden administration prevails in court. >> bill: sooner or later it's real money. grady trimble in chicago. >> dana: president biden landed in egypt where he will address the united nations climate summit and promote his green energy agenda as heating costs at home increase. as a reminder for the audience let's say what president biden said about solar power last week. >> shut these plants down across america and go to wind and solar. not cheaper to generate

electricity from wind and solar than it is from coal. it is cheaper. >> dana: the white house after reaction from one of your colleagues senator joe manchin who is furious about it tried to walk it back and say his words were twisted. you heard the words. you represent a lot of energy workers. i'm curious if common sense energy policy is not persuasive right now. >> as we look at our heating costs going up, especially as we head into this winter, that i think that that's when the american people will realize all of the above energy plan is what we should be doing including coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar wind and everything else. we have to have baseline fuel to power this country. we have the ability, we have the resources. in my state during the obama and biden administration, they crushed us, crushed us with their anti-coal policies. we can't go back to that. the problem with this, the president has repeatedly said this and this is direction his

regulatory bodies are taking us. it causes me great concern. >> bill: here is a coal miner in west virginia, a town you know well. here is his reaction now to what he is hearing. >> it's mind-boggling to think this administration can say this is a very good idea if we shut these plants down and we put all these people out of employment with no viable source of energy to take its place and no viable income for these families. >> bill: the most relevant thing is what he said at the end. no viable alternative and no viable income. voter analysis climate change checked in at 8%. well below what he is talking about, economy and jobs at 48%. biden has the pen, right? on energy, he is deciding and he is not budging. so where are we in two years do you believe?

>> in the immediate two years the difference is the house will be under the care of a speaker mccarthy and that's a stopper right there. so biden may have the pen, but he can't -- he won't be able to have the policies that move forward except if he can do this through his regulatory agencies, which is what he is doing. that's why oversight in the house and the senate are exceedingly important. hopefully we'll have the ability to stop more effectively in the senate. the emergency policies that the president is in egypt and around the world is touting penal liess american workers and jobs and being independent. if you aren't taking care of yourself and providing your own energy it is costly in more ways than one. >> dana: i wonder about how people who are facing 40% or 60% higher heating oil costs this winter in new england, for example, how they would take

president biden's speech in egypt today? >> exactly. you look at the administration's inability to permit anything, to permit pipelines. the folks in new england could be the beneficiaries of our abundant natural gas which is proven it will drive the price of your heating costs way down from oil, it is cleaner. what kind of messages are we sending to people that we are going to go for the almighty grail of looking good internationally and doing the things that we need to do, we could take care of our environment, use our own resources and cut costs at the same time. >> bill: big meetings over the next week. china and india are 90% responsible for emissions in the world. >> no guardrails on those countries. the americans have to be the ones making the sacrifices while we let china and india go ahead and not adhere until 2030, 2035? it's a mixed message but

damaging to the american worker and american family. >> dana: senator, great to see you. a lot of changes happening in washington. stay in touch with us. >> thank you all and happy veterans day. >> dana: democratic campaign chair maloney not going down quietly and blasting alexandria ocasio-cortez. his tough talk is next. shocking video of a ohio police chase. a suspect who ran into a daycare. how this ended. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good.

>> bill: 15 before the hour now. democrat maloney lashing out after he became the first house campaign committee chair to lose his seat in three decades.

the target of his ire fellow new york democrat alexandria ocasio-cortez. he says quote i didn't see her one minute of these mid-terms helping our house majority. she is an important voice in our politics but when it comes to passing agenda in the congress or standing ground on the political battlefield she was nowhere to be found. she said let's make something crystal clear. maloney courted me for donations in swing races and the first thing i did this term. she goes on to say many moderate dems and leaders made it very clear our help was not welcome or wanted despite many offers and found ways to try to help from afar. for them to blame us for respecting their approach in their districts is laughable. take some ownership. >> dana: she has a point. >> bill: you and i are of the same mind. after an election you go to the

weekend and find all these great pieces that pop into your in box and read it. >> dana: there was a long one in the "washington post" about mcconnell and rick scott and feud that was and how it is playing out. it is long. i was up early. >> bill: put that on your list to get to. >> dana: kevin mccarthy facing raise or thin margins in the house. if the republicans win the majority his path to becoming the next house speaker is full of political land mines. what are they? chad pergram is live on capitol hill. hi. >> good morning. nothing can happen in the house of representatives until it elects a speaker and with a narrow majority, mccarthy cannot afford to lose many votes. there are some house republicans who would not support kevin mccarthy no matter what except if there is a big compromise. he claims he will grab the gavel in january. >> i'm not concerned. think about this. since i was leader for the last

four years we've only gained seats. the goal of winning the majority. we won the majority. i accomplished the goal we wanted to. people can have input. we want an open input process. >> there is still a chance democrats could hold the house. several vulnerable house democrats won in nevada and washington state. president biden is not conceding anything yet. >> president biden: still alive. it's still alive. like drawing an inside straight. >> bill: republicans are reeling from the results after many gop leaders promised a landslide. there is introspection on both sides. >> i do think it was the american people generally sending a message they want to pull us back from the brink. they don't want the nation to go over the edge, to go into the abyss and we have to make sure that the incentives are there to elect the kind of people who are going to make sure they are part of the solution. >> however, democrats are still

trying to understand why they lost so badly in new york state. democrats won seats in new york they would hold the house majority. dana. >> dana: we'll count on you to sort it out for us, chad. >> bill: thank you, chad. police in new york city busted a man with $7 million worth of fentanyl. that stash weighed 50 pounds. investigators saying it was hidden inside a coffee table. a special narcotics prosecutor for new york city. how much of a challenge has this become for you and others? >> this is huge. the worst problem we've faced in terms of drugs. the overdose rates are through the roof. record highs in new york city and throughout the nation. and the cartels that are pumping out fentanyl, which is the primary drug killing people, are putting it in new and different forms all the time trying to create new customers for their

drugs. and it is really a daunting problem. >> dana: how does what happened in new york city affect the rest of the country? we've been talking about fentanyl deaths across the country. had a mother who lost a child on here who reminded us that every day 300 americans die of fentanyl. not just new york city. does new york city have an effect on the rest of the country? >> absolutely. new york city is one of the central importation spots for fentanyl and other drugs coming from mexico. there are other central cities throughout the united states but for the east coast, the mid atlantic states, pennsylvania, and other areas south of us it's new york where it primary comes through. >> bill: it gets here and they take it elsewhere. curious questions about this. what has an open/porous border done to your job in terms of the challenge you face? >> well, the drugs that we see is when it's coming in bulk coming primarily through underground tunnels because it is many pounds or it is coming

on trucks, it is coming in cars, it is coming in vehicles. so that's our choke point there is to try to cut it off that way in the vehicles, in the traffic. and that's hard because there is so much traffic crossing over that border. so much car traffic and commerce coming through that border. >> dana: is there a legal policy or resource change that you would ask for right now to help you do your job? >> probably -- look, it is huge. the problem is huge. these are -- these drugs are primarily chemicals. there doesn't have to be a plant raised and refined and all that. the chemicals are coming from china for the most part, or india. so i could see a real effort to choke off the supply of the chemicals that are creating these drugs. to do it diplomatically, however you can do it. because we have to move back

further than mexico, i think, if we will have an impact. >> bill: the synthetic process is in china and comes to mexico and they put it together and they put it on the trucks or vans in the tunnels and bring it to the u.s. >> it is actually manufactured in mexico. the chemicals components are coming from china into the port there and then the chemicals get thrown together. believe me, there is no quality control in this process. >> bill: legalization of marijuana in the united states is exponentially more than it was when you took your job. is there a correlation between the legalization of marijuana in america and the fight you are having now with fentanyl and other drugs, cocaine, crack, you know, pick your poison. is there a correlation between the two or are they separate? >> i think the concept of legalizing drugs gives you more relaxed attitude towards all drugs maybe but you do have to

differentiate. people don't generally die of marijuana. they're certainly dying in record numbers of fentanyl. so they are different. where i see the correlation is actually with the addiction that started with the pills. the prescription pills, legal pills. those were legal. they still are legal but the controls are tighter now. so yes, there is a big tie between legal drugs and now this surge in fentanyl use but i think it is more tied into the opioid epidemic. although the relaxed attitude towards drugs make people think they're all safe. obviously they're not. >> dana: congratulations on getting this guy, $7 million worth of fentanyl in his coffee table. >> unbelievable with a hydraulic press to open and shut it, we think. it is a lot of drugs. it would probably be millions of

doses that would go throughout the country. it is a major, major seizure. >> bill: we'll be in touch with you. it will be several years. >> dana: we're still on election watch. results are trickling in for the house and senates. we'll bring you any key race calls when we get them. the story of a veteran-owned business that defied to economic downturn that is one of the fastest growing companies in the u.s. on this veterans day. ♪ psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious
