#is honor u.s. vets. through this campaign u.s. vets seek to bring visibility and awareness to end veteran homelessness and what it means to wear camo. in the fashion world you are looking great. >> the hat is perfect. go to u.s. vet/fox u.s. vet. it is down there, you see it? get all this great stuff. good quality. >> bill: good stuff. hoodie, wear your hoodie. >> dana: i got this one. dagen mcdowell is in for harris. >> i have my camo right here. we'll get more of this later in the show. fox news alert right now. three senate races remain in play. three days after the election. arizona and nevada still counting their votes. in georgia, a runoff that could decide senate control. this is "the faulkner focus" and

i'm dagen mcdowell for harris. the runoff is an intense four week campaign. warnock and walker battling to make their case to voters before december 6th already getting down and dirty. here are the candidates yesterday. >> this race is about competence and it is about character. when it comes to that, the choice could not be more clear. between me and herschel walker. some things in life are complicated. this ain't one of them. >> he is a hypocrite not telling you that. he is a hypocrite. he is not telling you the truth and he will continue to be that hypocrite that is a wolf in sheep's clothing. >> walker raking in the cash. it raised more than $3 million on wednesday alone. it bested that with a $4 million haul yesterday. big name republicans rallying

around the candidate. senate republicans with the first ad in the runoff cycle. >> warnock is a great actor, he doesn't act like your senator. spending taxes, energy, you name it. warnock votes with joe biden 96% of the time and that act is getting old. >> jonathan serrie live in atlanta. jonathan. >> hi. with the balance of power in washington at stake, millions of dollars are flowing into this runoff race for the u.s. senate going on here in georgia. herschel walker's campaign raised more than $7 million since wednesday when state election officials confirmed the state would head to a runoff. ted cruz joined walker for a large rally in canton, 40 miles north of atlanta. >> i have to tell you, there is no state in the union with a

bigger divide between their senator and the values of the state. >> they said we're in overtime. we're in overtime. that means we have a runoff. hey, i was built for this. >> on the other side the democratic senatorial campaign committee announced it is contributing $7 million to the campaign of senator warnock. he is trying to expand his support beyond his party's base appealing to moderates and independents. >> this is not a race about democrat and republican. it is not a race of right versus the left. fundamentally this is a race about right and wrong. >> you know, one of the other big races here in georgia we saw governor brian kemp defeat democrat stacey abrams. kemp had this formidable get out the vote operation. he is now loaning the resources

from that operation to a super pac associated with mitch mcconnell, the senate leadership fund. that super pac is the top outside group supporting herschel walker. dagen. >> thank you so much. marc thiessen fox news contributor former white house speech writer and columnist for the "washington post" is here. terrific to see you. how much wins here? >> so first of all looking at georgia, thank god for mitch mcconnell spending $38 million in the senate leadership fund to get walker into the runoff and teaming up with brian kemp and getting his entire get out the vote operation under the senate leadership fund. they'll push herschel walker over the edge. the challenge they have is that what brian kemp has to do. he won with 2.1 million votes. walker won with 1.9 million

votes. there are 203,000 ticket splitters who voted for kemp and not walker in the general election. kemp needs to now go out and be the guy to go out and tell those voters who voted for him but not herschel walker to change their minds and cast their ballots for herschel walker in the runoff. that's why it is so important what mcconnell and crumply doing to team up. >> dana: >> they said they should keep the focus on the unhappiness with the direction of the country. kitchen table issues. if messaged properly according to that, walker has a great shot winning the runoff. >> he very much does. what warnock is doing, you showed those attacks he has done, is smart strategy even if it's dirty. he is trying to focus on the

reason why those ticket splitters split the ticket. character issues. what kemp and walker need to do is make the case that this is about -- this is about control of the senate. and what kemp needs to do to go to georgia voters and say remember what happened two years ago when we had a runoff and georgia gave the senate to control of the democrats. they unleashed 1.9 trillion in spending which unleashed all the inflation we're experiencing today. if you are paying more for groceries and more for gas and shelter, if you are paying more for everything, then it is because we did the wrong thing last time and need to fix it this time around. >> sit right there. i want to turn to jill biden. vice president kamala harris and the second gentlemen at arlington national cemetery participating in a wreath laying ceremony. the vice president will deliver remarks all, of course, in honor of those who have served our

country and our military, served so mightily. we'll talk more about our nation's veterans with congressman mike wealths who served in the army for 26 years. mike is the first green beret elected to congress. that's coming up a little bit later. marc, not the red wave many expected. exit polling shows gains for republicans for minorities. big moves away from the left among black and hispanic and latino voters and bigger change among younger black voters. 20 point shift for the gop. similar numbers among younger hispanics as well. new op-ed calls it a silver lining for republicans but adds the problem for the gop going forward will be how to translate the support among black voters

into actual electoral wins. i did love there was an editorial from the "wall street journal"'s jason riley before the election on october 25th saying the gop's mid-term slate is more diverse than ever. what do you call a black republican? how about congressman? i point to just john james of michigan and wesley hunt of texas both went to west point, both graduates of west point. both of them won. >> absolutely. not just blacks and hispanics but women. one of the things we were told that abortion was going to kill the republicans because women were upset about it and were not going to vote and would stick with the democrats, suburban women. fox voter analysis shows there was a 10-point shift of twoim republicans in this election who in 2018 it was 60/40 for the democrats. this year 50/50.

we made gains with hispanic. four in ten from a third in 2018. republicans gained four points with black voters. not massive gains but small shifts. where the real shift happened was with ron desantis in florida. he won re-election 20 points. the largest vote margin ever for a florida governor race and won females by a 16 point increase and won hispanics by 14 points. not just that he gained, he won the majority by 14 points with a 22-point increase from last time. if we want to learn how to expand look at what ron desantis did. >> if you dig into those numbers that you were quoting, school choice, parents and across demographic groups and across racial boundaries. it is giving parents the best education possible and putting

them in charge of their children's lives and education, not the teachers union. i digress. let's talk about arizona and nevada. even california. which party controls our country's legislative branch? we still don't know and likely still be in the dark until next week. vote counting in arizona and nevada still underway. critics calling out this hold-up. >> this is insanity and it is not okay. five weeks after florida suffered a devastating cat four hurricane and we're still praying for our friends in southwest florida, the state managed with so much damage but the state managed to count all 7.5 million ballots as marco rubio said, in five hours. >> "the washington examiner" editorial board says states should learn from florida and that they, quote, don't need weeks to count votes. the "wall street journal"

editorial board with a similar statement. it takes too long to count votes thanks to late mail ballots. nevada is worse than arizona if that's possible. nevada, the ballots don't have to be there by election day. they can be postmarked november 8th and arrive at late as tomorrow. >> so when there was this surge in early ballots and mail-in ballots in 2020 after that, republicans across the kuhn tree in 21 different states passed election integrity laws. the democrats vilified them calling it jim crow 2.0 and said it was voter suppression and racist. in georgia we know it wasn't voter suppression. the black vote went up from 27% to 29%. so much for voter suppression. they were voting efficiency laws. in those states that passed those laws, you haven't seen these problems. it is the states that didn't do

them where you are having difficulty. so i think the democrats ing republicans not an apology not just for calling them racist and segregationist. this resistance to the voter efficiency is the reason why we don't have answers. if florida can do it after the worst hurricane since 1935, and count those ballots in five hours, there is no reason why arizona and nevada can't do the same. >> early ballot retrieval. they have to be there by election day. it seems simple. california is worse than nevada. california ballot only has to be postmarked by election day and they can show up a week late. >> it's absurd. you should have all -- whatever system you want to have in place, if you want to have early voting. if you want to have mail-in voting we should know the results on tuesday night on election day no matter what your system is.

if you have a system that doesn't do that it is broken and needs to be fixed. >> bill: great to see you. have a wonderful weekend. the president saying the quiet part out loud. he has a list of preselected reporters to call it and he is sticking it to. how and why does the white house pick those reporters? they won't tell us or you. democrats claiming republican wins would be the end of our democracy and they are still at it. problem is, that may have been the last thing on voters' minds when they went to the polls. power panel next. >> joe biden talks all the time about the war on democracy. but the war against democracy is from this oval office against our rights and freedoms under the u.s. constitution. no upfront costs at all. let us get your family security of cash in the bank.

>> president biden: something else at stake, democracy itself. overwhelming majority of americans believe our democracy is at risk. that democracy is under threat. they, too, see that the democracy is on the ballot this year. >> president biden's dire warning to voters just before the mid-terms. now that the expected wave did not pan out the president and other top democrats telling americans they can breathe easy now. our democracy is still intact. >> president biden: american people have spoken and proven once again that democracy is who we are. >> our democracy is intact. [cheers and applause] and when democracy in intact, this is what it looks like. >> big closing speeches was about democracy and people said that's not smart politically and

the president i think has a compass on this and absolutely right all along. >> oh boy. americans were not worried about losing our democracies, not even a little top of mind was inflation, followed by other issues. none of them being an end of our republic. power panel, casey smutly director of america rising pack and kevin walling. kevin, basically they came out after the fact, the democratic leadership, and said our democracy is in good shape because we had a good day. >> listen, i think there were some serious concerns not just democrats but republicans and independents it was the first nationwide election following january 6th. i'm happy to see a return to some normalcy where losing candidates concede graciously republicans and democrats. you saw it in ohio with vance

and ryan and even in new hampshire with bolduc and hassan. that's what we are. i battle it out with cassie all the time but i adore her and republicans and democrats, this is a good thing for democracy to see that kind of return to some normalcy following a really contested 2020 election. i think it's a good thing. >> your reaction to kevin. i could go on for hours about this subject. what say you, cassie. >> i adore coven as well but i would say democracy is on the ballot this was the first national election after the covid lockdowns. what you saw across the board is people voting about the issues closer to home. every republican governor on the ballot for re-election won and many overwhelmingly. look at mike dewine in ohio. they won by more than a million votes apiece. they did right by their constituents when the heavy hand of the federal government was trying to close everybody down

and keep kids out of school and trying to play too much into what our kids are learning in school. you saw voters overwhelmingly say we want to stick to the people who are guiding our families to empower our own decisions. so everybody wants to talk about congress. i still think a lot of good things that happened with republicans there as well. i think more than anything you saw voters really pay close attention to the issues that impact them every day at home and that was a good night for republicans and that gives republicans something to springboard off of as we now look, of course to 2024. >> kim strassel writes about that in the "wall street journal" today in a few lines from her op-ed. talking about the republicans who did well, a lot of the reelected or newly elected governors did the people's business. she writes spend your fight on policies that make voters lives matters. give them optimism and back it up with results and you will be rewarded at the polls.

it wreaks red waves is what she was writing about. so much for jim crow 2.0 or jim eagle didn't happen. critics calling out president biden using a cheat sheet to call on reporters on his press conference wednesday given, quote, a list of ten names to call on and there were more than 100 reporters in the room. who decides who gets on that list and why? the white house deputy press secretary telling the daily caller not sharing. i don't have anything to share with you on that. cassie, what do you say about this? does it matter? certainly the press corps in d.c. is upset. >> press corps in d.c. is upset. they give him the friendliest list as possible and the staff cleans up his remarks. it is important for the president to address the american people in front of the cameras as much as possible and i hope he will do more of that

now. but ultimately it creates more work for his staff when he does. >> the most doozy of doozy, when he said what will you do differently the next two years and he said nothing. >> listen, to cassie's point i'm happy the president is doing more of these press conferences. i say let biden be biden. he is effectively when he shoots from the hip and takes these questions from the press. you will never make the white house press corps happy with anything. they weren't happy during the trump administration or any of them. they always want more time with the president and to field more questions. i'm happy he was out there fielding the questions on what was a pretty good day after the election for democrats. we'll pick up two governor seats from the republicans and likely hold the senate based on what is coming out of nevada and arizona. georgia might not even be

consequential to senate control and republicans might just have two seats of a majority in the house of representatives. that's a terrible night for republicans. you saw the president fired up in the press conference. i want him to do more. >> you want him to say he is not going to do >> when he is fired up i'm concerned. >> final word quick. i will do nothing in two years when the economy is a deep recession next year. probably not the greatest thing to say. cassie final word. >> i don't think president biden can take tuesday night's results or the results still coming in as any sort of mandate or endorsement of his policies. those are still as you pointed out in the polls at the top of the segment wildly unpopular. democrats have a lot of thinking to do as well and kevin, can you get him to stop with the whispering? >> that was me. >> he does it, too, from time to time. i agree with you. >> he didn't even respond that

way it's me doing my bad friday impersonation. cassie and kevin, thank you both. great seeing you. president biden is taking a victory lap over a tick down in inflation which is still near a 40-year high. fruit is so expensive one new analysis says a thanksgiving meal will cost so much you are better off eating out. parents were the big winners in the mid-terms made a mini red wave in a fight for their rights when it comes to schooling their kids. >> our students deserve an excellent academic education. those children belong to us. it is our children. we have to fight until the end and finish the game. this is what we're here for. >> how those local races could impact the woke schooling that "outnumbered" the vote. will cain in "focus." hey, will.

[ marcia ] my dental health was not good. i had periodontal disease, and i just didn't feel well. but then i found clearchoice. [ forde ] replacing marcia's teeth with dental implants at clearchoice was going to afford her that permanent solution.

>> president biden: folks, look, just today we learned inflation came down last month. mainstream economists are saying it's a really positive sign of the resilience of the economic recovery. it will take time to get inflation back to normal levels. we'll see setbacks but we're laser focused on it. >> president biden touting progress on inflation after yesterday's report. prices on household goods are still soaring. it will cost 17% more for turkey this year and even more for everything else on the table. all costing more this year. one analyst says it will be cheaper to dine out instead of eating at home. will cain, "fox & friends" weekend co-host. hosting this summer. this is absurd. joe biden has done nothing to fight inflation.

his policies are making it worse as we speak like the moratorium on making student loan payments and he is standing up there trying to act like falling real wages is some sort of victory. >> taking a victory lap for what? that inflation did not accelerate at the pace it was expected to accelerate. a bit of a slowdown and still the rise of inflation. so let's really try to -- the celebrate by democrats this past week as though they're celebrating losses, but not losses as bad as it could have been. the republicans, for example, still expected to win the house of representatives and the senate. not a red wave but a victory for republicans and being trotted out as though democrats won this week somehow because it came in better than expectations. same thing with inflation.

it is still out of control but he is taking a victory lap because it didn't rise as high as it lost. this is a football team that cost and covering the spread. you are walking off the field a loser. >> you are insulting abby state? >> i know who won. this would be as though covering the spread. >> don't insult appalachia or any college in virginia or north carolina, south carolina, georgia, alabama, louisiana, mississippi, texas. my family -- i don't have a family tree, i have a shrub spread out all over the south. i get hate texts from people. >> we can do it with each other. >> huge issue for you and voters across the country is school choice. we might not have seen the red

wave. some pointing out a huge red undercurrent that came together in school board races. one woman elected to a school board in florida said this. >> want to make sure we are getting the education system and actually expecting from the public schools. back to the basics. supporting parental rights. >> an advocate for children's education calls it the school choice election wave. op-ed writes this. it is clear that for both parties it is now becoming politically profitable to support education freedom. parents have woken up. for far too long the only group that commanded politician's attention were unions representing the employees in the system. now the kids have a union of their own, their parents. i read his entire piece that was in the "wall street journal" and you look at just ron desantis's victory in miami-dade county,

3/4 of miami-dade kids are in choice programs. they kind of line up with each other. >> did you see what eric swalwell tweeted in response to some of these things? parents should be in charge of their children's education, what next, you should be in charge of your medical choices? he thought he was tweeting something witty. the answer is yes, yes. parents in charge of their children's education and parents in charge of their own healthcare decisions, yes, americans in charge of our lives, swalwell. that's something that we desire. i have been a beneficiary. when i lived in new york city and no longer do but i've been a beneficiary of the concept of school choice. my children went to a charter school here in new york city. far too many children here in new york that's a matter of failure factory, literal percentage sending them directly to a life of failure or school across the street that can send them to the path of success. parents need to be in control of their children's education and the first conversation like inflation, whatever happened in

the mid-term elections these are the issues that matter to the american people and these are the issues along with crime that impact our lives on a daily basis. the ones that matter most closest to home. >> i wanted to read this. florida wasn't the only bright spot. 76% of the candidates supported by this organization appear to have won. and iowa, tennessee, texas, but also you had some democrats, even kathy hochul tried to turn her attention and said that she would publicly support for the first time eliminating the cap on new york city charter schools. they are getting maybe not religion but paying attention to that. >> i think you have to. when you see what happened in the school boards and the election in virginia when paired with the ones you rattled off you have to see the power of parents. >> don't poke the mama bear or

daddy bear. >> especially if they send their kids to app state. >> where did you go to school? >> university of texas for law school and undergrad in california. i focus on texas. zb >> i was going to call you a mean name, a t step. will cain, thank you. now i will get hate from people who went to texas. fox news is making the call in the oregon governor's race. they have elected a democrat t t t tina kotec. she becomes one of the nation's first openly lesbian governors along with one elected in massachusetts. we'll bring you any more race calls as we make them. and harris faulkner's new book

faith still moves mountain goes on sale this tuesday. this weekend she is hosting a special with the same title. here is a sneak peek. >> talking about jesus it says though he was a son, he learned obedience by the things that he suffered. and i always wonder jesus is the perfect son of god and how could he learn anything. but god had this part of his plan for his own son suffering intense, unfair suffering. if his plan included suffering for his own son, why are we surprised, harris, it's those hard things that have made me grow in my faith, not the easy times in life. >> you can watch the entire program sunday night at 10:00 eastern right here on the fox news channel and you can also stream it on fox nation starting at 10:05. control of the house may not be settled yet but conservatives are reportedly already working behind the scenes to block a speaker bid by republican minority leader kevin mccarthy.

[cheers and applause] >> it is clear your work sent a message to the entire world, our democracy is intact. [cheers and applause] >> shocker, our democracy is still intact. the control of congress is still not settled. more than two dozen house races have yet to be called. republicans still have the advantage. looking like they will win a slim majority. in the senate three states hold the answer there as we've discussed. arizona and nevada won't finish counting their votes until next week. control of the chamber could hinge on december 6th runoff in georgia. what does the president plan to do if republicans control one or both chambers? listen. >> president biden: regardless of what the final tally showed i'm prepared to work with republicans. american people have made it

clear they expect republicans to work with me as well. folks, i'll always be open to any good ideas democrat or republican to move the country forward and also made it clear if republicans try to repeal prescription drug costs i'll veto if. if they try to deal with climate crisis i will not let that happen. >> congressman mike waltz of florida member of the house armed services committee and green beret and still serving in the national guard. his administration is marked by handing money out for welfare entitlements and green subsidies. his closing message to the american people was no more drilling. we must kill coal and we must accelerate the end of fossil fuels. so what are the republicans going to get on board with? >> you know, a couple of things

that i'm hopeful. one is let's learn from the mistakes of ukraine and arm up taiwan while there is still time. let's go back to maximum pressure on the iranian regime and hold them accountable as they shoot school girls in the streets and attacking americans here at home and overseas. the iran deal is dead. there are some things i'm hopeful on. to your point he says he wants to work with us but then lists an entire litany of things that are untouchable. nine out of ten americans want us to be producing energy at home. they know it's the biggest driver of inflation. eventually i think he will see it in his self-interest heading into 2024 to get that under control and to finally stand up to the progressive left that have just put this as nine energy policy on us. >> being the world's swing producer in oil and fossil fuels

which we were, gives us power and control over nations that hate us like russia and iran. in terms of funding military initiatives and our defense department. the "wall street journal" article -- it puts the $5 trillion in new borrowing out of the biden administration in less than two years in perspective. to reduce the inflation rate one percentage point next year via spending cuts alone would require slashing annual discretionary outlays by half. $750 billion a year. that's roughly equal to the entire defense budget. >> look, at the end of the day it's the non-discretionary budget that will make the most impact on our debt and that will make the most impact on inflation. that's medicaid, medicare, social security and the interest on our debt which right now is

approaching the size of our entire defense budget. that's what we will have to have -- that's the reckoning we'll have to have. we can't take those cuts in defense as china, russia, iran, north korea are all on the march with nuclear weapons. >> as we wait to see who will control the house there is drama behind the scenes. mccarthy trying to cut a deal with the freedom caucus to get the votes he needs to take over the gavel as speaker. freedom caucus member bob good is the congressman from my home district says this. i have not seen the demonstrated fight we're looking for so i expect there will be a challenge to him as speaker candidate. mccarthy says his record speaks for itself. listen. >> i'm not concerned. think about this. since i've been leader for the last four years we've only gained seats. it is the goal of winning the

majority. we won the majority. i think i accomplished the goal we wanted to. >> have you heard from kevin mccarthy asking for your support? where does this go? >> i have, dagen. i fully support him for speaker. look, we gained 15 seats last time. we didn't gain what we wanted this time but at the end of the day we'll have the majority and see nancy pelosi hand off the speaker's gavel and hopefully retire. that means we can stop some of this insane agenda from the left through biden. we can investigate and get to the bottom of afghanistan, covid, border and others. now is the time to unify. i can tell you the republicans and my constituents that i talk to expect us to unify to get accountability back and to get these things done. that's what we need to do. >> vice president kamala harris is speaking right now at arlington national cemetery on

veterans day. a short time ago she laid a wreath at the cemetery to commemorate the service and sacrifice of all of our nation's veterans. a new op-ed today says maybe we should treat every day like veterans day. the author writing this. there are roughly 18 million living veterans in the united states. about 7% of the population. i wish for all our veterans to feel every day honored, loved, appreciated. not because of what they did or how well they did it, but because they were willing to do it. please seek out a veteran to thank. it will make their day and yours, too. congressman waltz, you served in the army for 26 years as a green beret. four bronze stars and serving in the national guard. would you like somebody coming up to you day and saying thank you for your service? what would it do for the morale of the nation? >> i appreciate that but i would ask everyone to take an extra

step and thank their families. the families truly bear the burden of our sacrifice overseas. i tell myself every day before i walk into the capitol i wear one of these bracelets for a green beret that i lost and i tell myself to be worthy. to be worthy of his sacrifice and so many others and ask that of every american. i'm thrilled to see so many veterans stepping up to serve again by running for political office. if we were willing to die for the flag we'll be willing to take the tough compromises and tough votes and move our republic forward. >> what about the problem with recruitment by our armed forces? how worrisome is that in your mind? >> it is a top agenda of mind to get the wokeness and distractions out of our military. we need to be focused on winning the nation's wars. it's about standards, not gender, race, religion or any of that. in a foxhole it never matters.

for the enemy's bullet, the enemy doesn't care. we'll get that out and i promise every veteran that's a top agenda. we need to be encouraging people to step up and serve. otherwise we can never take our freedoms for granted. they will have to be defended. just look at what the chairman of the chinese communist party is saying about replacing the american dream with the china dream. that's not a world i want our kids or grandkids growing up in. >> we're the land of the free because we're the home of the brave. congressman waltz. thank you for your service then and now always. congressman waltz be well and have a wonderful weekend. fox news has partner with u.s. vets with make camo your cause. you can buy some super cool camo gear and do some good at the same time. fox will donate 20% of the proceeds to help homeless veterans get back on their feet. you can log onto the address at the bottom of your screen and
