this one where hundreds of people had to be evacuated. the massive influx of people is taking a big toll on the city's utilities, particularly at these apartment buildings. >> the sewer system is getting backed up. the drainage is getting backed up in the building. we're responding for issues of literally feces running down the walls of the bathrooms from the floor above. that's not how anyone should be living. >> one woman who lives in one of the apartment buildings and didn't want to be on camera said the sudden flood of people from a third world of country has changed the small town tremendously and americans like her struggling to get by are being left behind by the federal government. >> it's awful. everywhere you turn you might as well be in africa. i've been trying to find a two bedroom i can afford. it is tough being a single mom and a single grandpa when the
7:01 am
government don't help you. they have too many immigrants to help. >> city officials say calls to the federal government for help dealing with this influx of migrants so far have been unanswered. >> bill: we'll wait for the next town you visit, right? lockland, ohio, thank you. >> dana: right now reporters are gathered at mar-a-lago is set to speak when voters coast to coast head to the polls next week to choose the nation's next commander-in-chief. i'm dana perino. welcome to "america's newsroom." i'm stunned by the garrett tenney report. i'm having a moment, wow. >> bill: population of the village is 3400. the number of moritania men who have been placed there is 3,000. >> dana: unbelievable. >> bill: what do you do? that's the concern for folks living there. new hour begins now. watching a camera out of the
7:02 am
trump campaign starting the day ahead of tonight's speech by the vice president kamala harris. she will be at the ellipse outside the white house. later he then goes to pennsylvania, top national polls all showing a tight race in the final stretch of this campaign. >> dana: senior national correspondent aishah hosni is live at mar-a-lago in palm beach, florida, what we can ex pect to hear from the former president in a few moments. >> good morning to you both. good to see you. you can probably call this is prebutall is a fair way to describe what we hear from the former president when he comes out here getting ahead of vice president kamala harris's remarks today in washington the campaign has been telling me they see tonight the's speech from the vp as a continuation of the democrats trying to demonize the former president calling him a fascist and dictator trying to push back on this for days now. a senior advisor to the campaign
7:03 am
also adds this about what we might hear this morning. there will be reminding voters that vice president kamala harris is closing her campaign using division and hate while they are solely focused on trying to improve the lives of everyday americans and team harris is already responding to that basically saying that's hilarious spin. the president is already out on the campaign trail trying to push back on this rhetoric. here he was in atlanta last night. >> they call me everything from a mad genius looking to take over the world to a very, very stupid person. i covered from stupid to mad genius that will eventually succeed in taking over the world. now, these are bad people. this is the kind of outrageous rhetoric that has resulted in two assassination attempts in the last three months. >> we're not sure if the former
7:04 am
president will take any questions. this venue isn't set up for that unless they try to pass around a mic. this was clearly important enough for him to do. not on his schedule. it came together quickly. we are on our way to allentown, pennsylvania tonight for a big rally. important enough for him to do this from mar-a-lago, back to you. >> dana: allentown, former home of greg gutfeld for a while in his life. >> bill: last hour we showed you the latest power rankings on the electoral college. now we do the last power rankings on the u.s. senate. this is how we see it shaping up. we believe republicans get control with 51 seats for republicans, and the 51 might be the floor as you will see in a moment here. everything in yellow, all the blue wall michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, ohio we believe are still toss-ups. what we have seen in the last two weeks the tightening races
7:05 am
in pennsylvania and tightening races in ohio, michigan and wisconsin as well. we think right now maybe the forecasts are not necessarily going the way we expect. for dems to have a good night they would maintain the majority 51 on the senate side. for republicans to have a good night when you consider the states i ticked off there, 55 would be a really good night for the gop and we'll see whether or not they can get to those numbers. why is it changing and what are we seeing there? we have moved a lot of upper midwest states from lean democrat like michigan to a toss-up. lean democrat in pennsylvania to a toss-up. lean democrat in wisconsin to a toss-up. we've also taken that senate race in nebraska and moved it slightly toward the democratic column a bit here from likely republican to lean republican. the shade changes on the screen here. that's the power rankings the way we see it in the u.s.
7:06 am
senate. see whether or not that's correct. john thune out of south dakota with dana and me now. thank you for coming back. what's right and what's wrong about the analysis here today? >> good morning, bill and dana. i think your analysis is spot on. we're traveling. i'm in the states. i was in ohio yesterday, wisconsin today, michigan and pennsylvania early next week before the tuesday election. and what our candidates are trying to do here in these rust belt states is work with president trump to tear down that blue wall. these races have all tightened. our candidates are on message talking about pocketbook issues that the american people care about. talking about high prices and open borders, which are the two issues that the biden-harris administration and all their enablers in the united states senate are responsible for. we will record seeing in the early vote a lot of low propensity republican voters
7:07 am
turning out. the votes are being banked and the data we're seeing is very encouraging. >> dana: i read the morning senate republicans feel good about locking down west virginia, of course, montana and increasingly so about ohio. what about pennsylvania where president trump needs to win pennsylvania and kamala harris needs to win pennsylvania. governor shapiro is working hard and john fetterman is saying something astonishing is happening with trump support there. can dave mccormick the republican get by in pennsylvania? >> i think he can, dana. dave mccormick has run a great race there. as is true in some of these other wisconsin and ohio and michigan as you mentioned, people i think are tired of the policies of this administration. they want to see an energy policy that makes america energy dominant and want economic policies when it comes to taxes and regulation that get greater growth in the economy and create the good-paying jobs and
7:08 am
operational control of the southern border, which has been an absolute disaster down there. i think that on all those issues economic issues and domestic issues and national security where we see an increasingly dangerous world, people are ready for getting the adults back in the room. ready for president trump and why i think you see his numbers turning in states like pennsylvania and when they do, that also is helpful to our senate candidates there. but we feel good about where we are. with a week to go our candidates have to run through the tape and keep their foot on the gas. if you look at the numbers today and how the polling has been and how it has tinted. the trend lines are looking good for us. we have to execute and getting the job done and getting the voters out. >> bill: we look at the early vote every day and sometimes every hour of every day and sometimes drives us insane as dana will attest to. in the state of nevada, republicans are showing up and
7:09 am
the numbers are there. sam brown is a veteran wounded trying to win a senate seat there. this is how he says his race is going right now. >> i'm a firefighter. one of the reasons i'm running now for the u.s. senate. the taliban tried to kill me and failed. democrats have tried to politically kill me and have failed despite outspending me three to one. >> bill: his opponent has shown a lot of strength in that state. do you think sam brown can win there? >> i do. and one of the reasons for that again, bill, is what we're seeing in terms of the early vote. nevada is one of those states targeted with a lot of identifying these local republican voters and bank evering the vote. the polling is tightening in nevada. i think president trump will perform well there. he is a great candidate and a great united states senator. he is doing everything he can to win and he worked hard as has
7:10 am
his team. we need to push through the tape on election day a week from today and get our voters out. if we do that, i think this country and these states, this country is ready for change. you look at the right track, wrong track numbers. they're sick of the policies and tired of inflation that's rampant and out of control over 20% since this administration took office and tired of open borders and tired of global instability and the feeling of insecurity they have at home in their neighborhoods. these things have to change and our candidates are making that argument out there right to the very end as is president trump. and i think it will be -- i think it could be a really good day for it. >> dana: the top two issues -- matters you would tackle if you become the leader of the senate. you are in a senate leadership race with john cornyn. if president trump were to win again and the senate goes to the republicans in terms of majority what the are top two issues you guys would have to tackle first? >> i think first off, dana, we
7:11 am
have a tax policy that expires next year. this economic issues, taxes, regulations, energy dominance. i think that will be front and center for us. then i think that the issue with the democrats of open borders, closing the border. president trump when he wins will be in a position to do a lot with respect to the border but we have to be there to support him to make sure he gets the right people in place. they all come through the senate for confirmation and so i think those issues will be paramount and of course always national security. you look at the world today, the united states's role there. it is not our strength against our adversaries it's our weakness. you have seen weakness from this administration. we have a lot of serious concerns concerning what's happening around the world today in a lot of these hot spots and the united states needs to be able to project strength. that comes with president trump and comes with a republican senate to allow him to get his people into place quickly and assembly his team so we can get
7:12 am
to work on these problems. >> bill: thank you for your time. we can see you are in milwaukee. we recognize the arena behind you where we spent a lot of time in that place. >> dana: it is a charming city. >> bill: give the folks in wisconsin our best. >> by the way, dana, this is the home of the green bay packers, wisconsin, that is. >> dana: and also the brewers? >> bill: very good. >> dana: thank you. it is baseball season, after all. we have a live look at mar-a-lago. former president trump is about to speak to reporters and we'll take you there live as it happens. >> bill: seven days and counting. republicans urging the u.s. supreme court to intervene in numerous ballot disputes out there already. a lot of it is happening in battleground states. plus this. >> give us a sense of your internal polling at the campaign and how it is influencing your
7:13 am
decisions. >> my internal polling is my instinct. >> dana: harris campaign sounding confident despite a polling shift to former president trump. karl rove is here to break it all down. start to slow down. but did you know prevagen can help keep your memory sharp? the secret is the powerful ingredient, apoaequorin, originally discovered in jellyfish and found only in prevagen. in a clinical study, prevagen was shown to improve memory in subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or mildly impaired. stay sharp and improve your memory with prevagen. prevagen. in stores everywhere without a prescription. i try to put my arm around any vet that i can. absolutely. at newday usa, that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that

7:18 am
>> given that polling due feel like the race is slipping away? >> i do not. certainly polling is a measure, but to be frank, if i listened to polls i would have never run for my first or second office. i wouldn't be here talking with you. and what i am seeing in states such as south carolina -- north carolina, georgia, historic turnout. historic turnout. >> dana: vice president harris says she is not loseings
7:19 am
momentum. the final fox news power rankings forecasting. >> zbl what we're doing in new york. the path to 270. yesterday at this time we had her at 225. we had trump at 219. however, with our power rankings earlier today we believe arizona is leaning republican. for the course of this exercise we'll give arizona to trump to put him at 230. karl, yesterday michael whatley says he believes they will be ahead in arizona, nevada and north carolina. if that's the case trump is 252. he wouldn't have to win georgia under that scenario, he could go to pennsylvania and capture the 19 electoral votes to put him at 271. karl, i want you to weigh in on what we're seeing and we'll reset the map here. to you now, karl.
7:20 am
>> it will be absolutely close. as you say, arizona appears to be his best state. but north carolina appears to be going their way. more republicans are voting in early voting than are democrats. the state has a very large group of unaffiliated independent voters. we don't know how they are voting. it will be close because as you say, if he wins georgia the race is over. if he takes nevada, arizona and north carolina, it gets him within basically either one of the 15 or 19 state electoral votes, michigan, georgia 16, pennsylvania 19. any one of them puts him over the top. >> dana: "the new york times" the headline. harris aides more bullish on defeating trump. is it spin or do they believe it? >> they better believe it.
7:21 am
if it's spin it is a sign of something. but look, each side has a reason to believe they can do this because the race is so close. take a look at this. we are talking about 3/ten of a% if you look at averages in battleground states. a better quality ground game by one side or the other can make up for that and we have plenty of time between now and election day for the four or five percent to split one way or the other. they will. maybe a small tilt to one side. when we're this close in the seven battleground states, moving one direction or another. for example think about it. four percent of the population of the voters of pennsylvania a are -- little things can have --
7:22 am
>> bill: the other thing listening to the commentary on the harris side and what i'm picking up, they don't feel very good about north carolina. i will put that in the red column. nonetheless, okay, trump is at 246. still the blue wall is up there, right? so if she holds onto wisconsin, which historically is a really close state by the way. we'll show that election night. if she holds on to michigan and pennsylvania and picks up the vote in nebraska she can win despite the strength of trump in nevada, arizona, north carolina and even georgia. that would be something a week from tonight, karl. >> yeah, absolutely. and look, if i were them i would worry less about the polls and more about the closing message. she made a big mistake by engaging on the issue of john kelly's comments about donald trump being a fascist.
7:23 am
she spent two days talking about that. and that's not a winning issue for her. everybody who already thinks that is already in her camp. the problem she has is she has been a presidential candidate for less than three months and the american people are saying do i know enough about you to feel comfortable putting you in the oval office for the next four years? so a better line for her is he is going to come with an enemy's list and i will come with a to do list and spend most of my time talking about what the to do list consists of. if the campaign believes they made a big step forward by emphasizing the fascist comment. i get the hypocrisy of it. trump is calling her a fascist for weeks and now whining. the american people, the small group of them up for grabs in
7:24 am
this election what will you do to make my life better for the next four years. >> dana: since may of 2021 voters have told pollsters that the economy and inflation is their number one issue. everyone should close on that and tell us what they are going to do. great to have you. for more on all this check on perino on politics. download that at fox news podcast.com. >> you know that acts like this are targeted and intentional and we're concerned. >> bill: very symbol of our democracy has been torched. the feds are investigating fires at several ballot boxes and tell you what they've turned up already. election one week away. the cases are piling up in the docket for the u.s. supreme court. we'll tell you where and why it might matter.

evidence that ballot box fires in oregon and the state of washington are connected. three ballots were destroyed in portland. hundreds more burned a few hours later in vancouver just north there. >> we don't know the motive behind these acts. we do know that acts like this are targeted and intentional and we're concerned about that intentional acts trying to affect the election process. we're dedicated to stopping that kind of behavior. >> police released photos of a vole vow. they believe the car is connected and f.b.i. has joined them in the investigation. we'll keep you posted as they go. >> dana: there is no rest for the supreme court. a flurry of pre-election lawsuits are making its way to the docket bringing high-profile cases that could impact the final result. david spunt tracking this in
7:31 am
washington, d.c. >> the docket is quickly filling up and it is only tuesday. one week out from the election. let's start in pennsylvania. late yesterday afternoon state republicans asked the nine justices in washington to block a lower court decision that would allow a voter's provisional counted even if the mail in ballot is rejected for not following technical instructions. in virginia the d.o.j. has until this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. eastern to submit reasons why the supreme court should continue allowing some 1600 virginia voters on the election rolls. the governor insisted if you say you are not an american citizen on a state form like a dmv driver's license form you shouldn't be able to vote. glenn youngkin signed an order that resulted in frequent checks in voter rolls. the d.o.j. argued saying it was within 90 days of election and
7:32 am
violate ed federal law. they claimed lawful citizens were taken off rolls by mistake. look at the states now. we have currently challenges and expect to see more yellow. in north carolina the state gop argued before an appeals court challenging 225,000 voter registrations in that battleground challenging questions about voter registration systems in illinois, mississippi, nevada. questions over whether to count ballots received by mail after election day. these cases may go to the supreme court in the coming days but the immediate cases are the ones in pennsylvania and virginia. >> dana: thanks for keeping an eye on it for us. >> bill: let's get analysis. fox news legal editor karrie urbahn. i don't know if this is a trickle that leads to a flood or if it is just what it is for now and maybe it does not get that intense in a week. the way the lawyers are spanning across these battleground states, i think i'm wrong, i
7:33 am
think it is number two. >> i think it is number two unless there is a surprise blow-out for either side we'll see litigation by both sides. here in virginia, i've been paying particularly close attention to this one with governor youngkin. interesting to see what the supreme court does here, bill. not just in this case but other cases. the last thing the supreme court wants to do is be involved in the election before the election, right? that being said, they know they may have to weigh in. so what they will do, very unclear. a bit of a nail biter. i would say this. no matter what they do, i think with respect to virginia at least even if they don't -- even if they don't agree with the governor's position here he may lose the legal battle but i argue he won the political war. he put front and center an issue that matters a lot to americans. no matter where people fall on the political spectrum people are looking at this and saying
7:34 am
why is the biden administration pushing for non-citizens to vote in the 2024 election? it is bizarre. frankly, i think it has been a bad look for d.o.j. to bring it at the last hour. they could have done it in august. it could be to send a message. >> bill: virginia says it will be harmed -- youngkin said these are the voters who told us they were non-citizens and now they are getting a bit of a redo. well sui the supreme court does. in pennsylvania, butler, pennsylvania, the town of butler in the county of butler where trump was shot and what they are saying with the mail ballots is that they put that secrecy envelope or neglected to put that ballot back inside the
7:35 am
envelope and i voted by mail, first time i ever have. i will never do it again and tell you why. it was far too easy for me to make a mistake. signature, date, do i have it in the right envelope? do i have the bar code where it needs to be? i screw up bills on my electricity, all right? i don't want to screw it up on a mail ballot and i will never do it again. here is the case in butler, pennsylvania. will the court take this case up? >> it is a great question and to your point there are rules that govern ballots. there have to be some kind of order to make sure that our elections are fair and free. here in this particular situation in pennsylvania you had two individuals who mailed in their ballots during the primary. they failed to put it in the secrecy envelope. three rules governing that particular situation. you have to put it in an envelope and you have to sign it and date it. if that doesn't happen, then
7:36 am
those ballots are considered invalid. well, the butler county election board received them. before making a final determination these two individuals on election day cast their ballots again. the pennsylvania supreme court took a look at this and said you know what? we're going to pretend like they never mailed in their ballots in the first place and count these second ballots. bill, the problem with that is that it is in direct opposition to existing pennsylvania law that says if in fact you have already mailed in your ballots, if you subsequently mail in other ones and the first ones were on time they don't count. you can imagine why people are upset in pennsylvania. the pennsylvania supreme court did this two weeks after mail-in voting began and right before the election. >> bill: you will be busy. really, really busy. keep it straight fours. thank you. nice to see you. it is your favorite artist. a good one, today's hemmer

7:44 am
better. >> bill: neck-and-neck. campaigns trying to win over the 15 electoral votes in michigan and down ballot races that follow. alexis mcadams live in detroit. what are you learning today? >> beautiful day in detroit as things are heating up here in battleground michigan. both candidates are doing everything they can to crisscross michigan and make their final push to voters. vice president kamala harris is here spending a lot of time in the state trying to connect with voters on the ground. specifically male voters. she sat down for a beer with the state's gov and caught on a hot mic talking about that issue. listen. >> we have microphones. i didn't realize that. >> we just told all the family secrets.
7:45 am
[laughter] >> it's not much of a secret. harris is courting the union vote visiting a training facility in the state out in saginaw trying to connect with blue collar voters there, a key demographic. she is struggling to win over. in recent days former president donald trump holding two rallies in michigan. we were there after one in traverse city. he won back in 2016. president biden carried the state in 2020. he is making a final push as well. trump has promised to revive detroit's economy by bringing back the auto industry. >> i am proclaiming that by the end of my term the entire world will be talking about the michigan miracle and the stunning rebirth of detroit. >> the latest fox news power rankings released this morning show the michigan senate race is shifting in favor of republicans. this is huge. now considered a toss-up between democrat slotkin and republican
7:46 am
rodgers. slotkin warned supporters that harris is underwater in michigan and working on her ground game and spending a lot of cash. more 250,000 people have voted early over the weekend already here in michigan with more than 1 1/2 million absentee ballots already submitted. that gives you an idea what we're looking at. you don't have to figure out how close the election is. all morning tv watching fox on the local station they had constant ads for slotkin and rodgers non-stop. that's what people are focused on in battleground michigan. >> bill: my guess is they're sick of it. wayne county, detroit. >> i think so. nice to see you there. >> dana: we'll bring in our
7:47 am
panel. are people sick of the ads. >> i think so. $2 hundred million on the senate race so far. record for a michigan u.s. senate race. throw in a couple hundred million more on the presidential election and it is unseizing. >> dana: it is now a toss-up. it is going to the republicans' direction. not all the way there yet. is that how you see it on the ground? >> i believe it is a toss-up race. we don't get a lot of open seat u.s. senate races in michigan but we've got one and what's really rare is to have one with a potentially favorable level playing field for the republicans. we've had open seat races they have tended to be good democratic years where the republicans didn't have a good candidate. this year they have a good candidate in mike rodgers and looks like a level playing field at the top of the ticket.
7:48 am
i would expect these races, the presidential race and u.s. senate race in michigan to go the same way. that's the history here. only twice in 100 years has the u.s. senate race and the presidential race gone a different way in michigan. >> dana: that's good trivia. last week i did a piece about jewish american voters and what they are deciding and interviewed two women from michigan. one for trump and one for kamala harris. a little sound from muslim-americans in michigan making the same choice. >> still divided and a lot of people have a different opinion. still i'm thinking to vote harris but, you know, for the last moment i will think, you know. if i think mr. trump will do something for what's going on in gaza, then i will vote for him. >> i don't like what kamala harris is doing now when it comes to israel and palestinian. so i don't know if trump will help too much but i know he won't support it the way it is. >> dana: is this an issue that

is going to be determinative in either the presidential election or the senate? >> it's a huge piece of the puzzle. i don't believe it single handedly swings the state one way or another. if you add up three cities in michigan with the largest arab american population biden won them by 30,000 votes four years ago. even if there were to be -- unlikely it would be 100% reverse and trumps wins them by 30,000 votes. if that were to happen it doesn't erase the 154,000 vote margin joe biden had over donald trump in michigan. so former president will need to come up with some other wells to erase that margin. they are available to him but that won't be the whole game. >> dana: zach, good to know you and i have just followed you on x and stay in touch. thank you for being on our show today. >> sounds great, thanks for having me. >> dana: take care, zach.

beat the dodgers. this was a 1970s fighting over feminism and equal rights and became the focus of collective vitriol. >> i was targeted and it was really hard. >> 1977 as the yankees battled the dodgers in the world series. 26-year-old "sports illustrated" reporter melissa asked for something audacious, the right to interview players after the game inside the clubhouse. as her male counterparts had been doing for decades. >> i don't think the players are happy with having women in there. nobody can. a little embarrassing to them and somewhat embarrassing to the women. >> in her new room she describes the national venom aimed and her and her subsequent court case that changed history. we caught up with her at the library for women's history at harvard.

>> unfortunately, a lot of people labeled you as someone who wanted to see athletes in the nude. your press card entitled you to the locker room and you just wanted to do your job the way men were allowed to do their jobs. >> i was surrounded in a sea of men and about time i had the same ability to start at the start line with them and do my story the way they did their story. >> i think a guy wants to take a shower or get dressed he can do it where he wants to. doesn't have to have a bunch of girls hanging around. >> in the book she describes being viciously attacked and mocked on johnny carson. some saw her as a hero including hall of fame sports reporter. >> she was enormously brave. >> glass ceiling breaker yankees broadcaster. >> without melissa, there is no susan. >> melissa takes pride in the

progress made by women reporters in general but obviously this fight is not over. >> it's not over. the younger women are taking it on today. it was easier for me to change the law in court in the 70s than it was for the attitudes to change that would really accept women, treat them equally in the practice of what their jobs are. >> unfortunately she says equal treatment is not always the same as equal access. back to you, dana and bill. >> bill: interesting history there. nice to see you, douglas. game three of the world series shifting to new york. the outcome last night was not kind to the new york yankees, however. the dodgers have come to town. 3-0 lead.

alex rodriguez earlier today said new york, don't give up hope. >> any hope for new york? >> i think you have to break it down to can you win one game, right? and it starts with one pitch, right? but here is good news, right? the yankees have won four games in a row nine times this year. once in the postseason. you can't think that big. you have to break it down to let's win tonight. >> bill: game four is tonight at 8:00 eastern. check it out. underway at 7:00. first pitch after 8:00 here in new york. >> dana: america loves a comeback story. a dog reunites with her owner after being lost in the woods for months. she realizes she is home and that was a sweet moment captured by an animal rescue service. nice way to land it. all right. harris faulkner is next.
