hochul: yes, i do.s delivered for the people in this country in ways that we do not know the benefits. the inflation protection act, the infrastructure dollars lee zeldin voted against. >> do you want to see donald trump run again in 2024? mr. zeldin: not even thinking about it. >> mr. zeldin, should kaplan charter schools be lifted? mr. zeldin: absolutely. >> ms. ogle -- hocul? gov. hochul: yes. >> there is a moratorium on your desk to put a hold on crypto mining that is energy intensive. will you sign it? gov. hochul: my environment conservation already stopped accompanying that it was utilizing so much power, even more so than a previously shut down business. i am looking at that closely. this is nothing to do with whether or not we embrace the cryptocurrency industry. we focus on making sure that they have green festivities and they are not using those kinds of activities. >> would you sign a cryptocurrency narrow moratorium like this one? mr. zeldin: i should not, and we should not be picking winne

next is kathy hochul. hochul: thank you for hosting this conversation. all about tuning in -- the people tuning into night. -- the last 14 months i wake up thinking about how i can fight harder for you and your families to invest in education for your kids and give you more childcare opportunities so you can get back to your job and keeping more money in your pocket with property tax rebates and tax cuts. and a focus on public safety and getting more guns off the street. but not only to protect your safety but your fundamental rights to be safe and to choose what you want done with your doll date -- your body particularly this message is for women. you will see a contrast between myself and my record -- my opponent helped donald trump on overturning the election. he sent text messages orchestrating the big lie and he opposes gun safety laws as well as the woman's right to choose. that is what is on the line tonight. i'm looking forward to the conversation. host: thank you candidates. our first question will go to you mr. zeldin -- since you one the draw

. >> brooke: high profile gubernatorial elections in new york, kathy hochul and republican challenger lee zeldin squared off for the first time. the duo traded jabs about crime with kathy hochul appearing to downplay lee zeldin's desire to lockup criminals. watch. >> it is amazing, we will go through the entire crime conversation of this debate and still waiting for kathy hochul to talk about locking up criminals. >> anyone who commits a crime under our laws has consequences, i don't know why that is so important to you, we could do more. >> brooke: and kathy hochul was confronted about forcing new yorkers to get vaccinated and kathy hochul doubled down on mandates for healthcare employees. >> i believe that mandate was wrong and everyone should be offered jobs back with back pay and shouldn't be celebrity mandates. >> you and donald trump were the masterful covid deniers, more people that get vaccinated, i would do it all over again, mandate for healthcare workers. >> brooke: in michigan, whitmer and tudor dixon facing off last night. governor whitmer boasting about children in michi

you can see it there, 50% to 46% for hochul.hat gap closing in a deep blue state as crime remains the hot topic. zeldin says he'll kick the manhattan d.a. right out of office for not doing his job and is trying to tie hochul's soft on crime policies to the rise in violence across the state. last night governor hochul talked to our local fox affiliate here in new york and answered several questions about her new crime-fighting initiative and addressed a controversial comment she made during the debate when she said she did not understand why crime is so important to her opponent. >> i didn't mean i didn't say crime was important. that's a mischaracterization. crime is very important. people are concerned about it. there's a lot of fear out there. but for that to be extrapolateed because i don't know why i are have to keep telling him why it's so important, it's because i already know. >> reporter: neil, she says she's running like an underdog as her lead windings, she's just energized if by the polling. she said she's not playing

bill: first person to count on that, also for hochul, hillary clinton will be campaigning with her. >: this week in new york. >> she is done. >> she still remains polar. pop. >> where? >> interesting thing with ron desantis, he has a governor race ahead of him, on enouon november sa 8, to see him in new york is interesting president trump will travel t miami to campaign with marco rubio, one person not invited governor ron desantis. >> you look at governor races there are surprising competitive turf, oklahoma for republicans, oregon for democrats and real trouble and oregon, new york is not just the only surprisings governor race there are a lot of red and blue states. >> governor races are different, you are looking for a chief executive, power of the purse, crime policies, i was amazed how many states that went for obama biden twice, went for a republican governor during the obama and biden years, they are not just ticket splitters, but when chief executive my state, i want more center-right. bill: here are issues, new york voters crime 28 percent. anonymoinflation 20%, and aboarlab

that's the population of the center of the state kathy hochul runs. is not responsible for all of it, but responsible for the change that made the worst crimes possible. that would be new york's bail reform law. that law lets criminals out on the streets immediately and kathy hochul supports it. why? we are not sure. she won't debate zeldin. she is cleaning up the calcutta-like encampments in mid town? no, not doing anything to make the state better and she is dividing it and attacking people who are unvaccinated. >> i wear my vaccinated neckless all the time. i know you are vaccinated. you are the smart ones but people are not listening to what god wants. you know who they are. i need you to be my apostles and go out and talk about it and say we owe this to each other. we love each other. jesus taught us to love one another. how do you show that love? please get vaccinated because i love you and i want you to live. >> tucker: this woman is a joke and an embarrassment. the truth is it has done nothing to improve the condition of new york. not in the c

right there in the by lines and they get it and why doesn't hochul. talked about those that need to be protected in the city. she gets it and share the stories of how she has in the past being a former new york police officer inspector and running with lee zeldin. why do she and lee get the people that need protected are all new yorkers and hochul for some reason still doesn't get it. why are you so uninterested in it? i'll tell you why, it's everyone that's been dead at your hands violently on those suckway tracks that -- subway tracks that you refuse to acknowledge. >>harris: lisa, talk to me about how this works because new york is as blue as my dress and it is not as close but it is the and the fact that numbers would be moving away from democrats at all is news worthy. where do you look, and you've worked on campaigns before, where you do look for the answers to how tight this can get because last night the disconnect between hochul and what new yorkers are feeling, and i live in jersey, i don't live here but i work here and see the crime myself.

we asked hochul how she is feeling. she said she has a lead. >> harris: it is your team's job to show you what's positive and our job to show you all of it. thank you very much. so you're watching it and it is crime, crime, crime. the big issue playing out at new york's governors debate last night and zeldin declared the state is in a crisis and pressed hochul on the soft on crime policies coming from the left. let's watch that. >> halfway through the debate hasn't talked about locking up anyone committing any crimes. >> anyone who commits a crime under our laws especially with the change made to bail has consequences. i don't know why that's so important to you. >> harris: well, here is why it's so important because of what people are experiencing every day. new york city robbery, assault, burglary are through the roof compared to the last year. transit crime, we talk about this all the time. the stabbings, overall crime is up by a third. example after example caught on video. all of this is tough to watch. surveillanc

. >> governor zeldin giving hochul a run for the money.ling out for crime crisis. >> these are master manipulators. >> huge influxion of haitian migrants. expansion of holding center at guantanamo bay. >> i don't understand why this administration just can't follow current law and secure our border. >> >> man accused of attacking paul pelosi set to be charged later today. law enforcement sources revealing the suspect had a quote: hit list of other targets. >> elon musk firmly in charge of twitter making changes. >> steve: twitter' revamp has liberal celebrities fleeing the flat form. joe rogan loves that new guy in charge. elon wants to bring back to twitter reasonable exchange of ideas. >> pressure, sees it. throw to mccaffrey he has got it for the touchdown. wow! [spooky music and. [laughter] this is halloween, halloween ♪ ♪ >> brian: only country that celebrates this in the same vigor we do. astounded by it. candy is so expensive. you might want to keep your door shut or charge the children. charge the children when they come to your ho

kathy hochul is in over her head.he's referring to new yorkers as -- she's referring to herself as the mother of new york, she raises tens of millions of dollars on corrupt scandal. we have to remove her from office. i am not in this race to come in second. >> it is the most exciting race in the country right now. you truly are new york's last hope. good luck. >>> the left wants you to think this crime surge is our imagination like people are not being killed. "the washington post" pointed to a conversation my next guest gianna caldwell tried to have with nadler. nadler's hometown, shooters and instances are down. the city saw lower crimes across the board than two or three decades ago. though, it is now up relative to 2020. is that is what caldwell meant or did he mean something broader? i would be interested to know what numbers he's looking at. joining me now is gianna caldwell. what's your respond and members of congress that you know ignored you and walked away and considering what you know about the crime wave i

it was a hot topic last night in a contention debate between kathy hochul and lee zeldin.ochul's double digit lead in the base is now down to single digits according to a new poll. is there any sense they moved the needle with new york voters? >> it's hard to tell if either candidate was able to score enough political points to change the dynamics of this race. this was a matchup congresswoman lee zeldin had been craving. and as expected he attacked the governor on crime while the governor tried to tie lee zeldin to the former president, president trump, and highlight his anti-abortion stance. the first and only head-to-head matchup between new york's democratic governor, kathy hochul, and gop congressman lee zeldin. >> new york is in crisis. >> one hoping to become the first woman ever elected governor in new york. >> you will see a great contrast here tonight between myself and my record and someone called one of donald trump's strongest and most loyal supporters. >> reporter: the other vying to be the first republican to win the office in 20 years. >> we've experienced

but don't worry, because hochul says she has no plans to raise taxes right now, new yorkers. should hope not. raise taxes in an economic downturn? and look where new york ranks in the just released business tax climate index. number 49. so the angle's message to the good people of new york tonight is the same as it is for the good people of connecticut, michigan, illinois, et cetera. aren't you tired of this yet? two weeks from tonight, the voters in liberal strong holds like new york have a chance to save themselves and send a powerful message to the democrat party. to quote president trump in 2016, what do you have to lose? you don't have to escape the state, just choose to escape its bad leadership. and that's the angle. joining me now, he just finished the debate, new york gubernatorial candidate republican congressman lee zeldin. congressman, i mean, i know, you know, i know i'm bias because i obviously want you to win but you did wipe the floor with hochul tonight. she just does not have a record she can defend. >> no, she was given many opportunities but kept trying to

republican lee zeldin looking to unseat kathy hochul. how does he plan to shore up last minute support with 12 days until the midterms? we ask zeldin when he joins us coming up. >> sandra: all right. first, a fox news alert to the economy. the numbers may not tell the full story. a new report shows the economy growing between july and september after falling two straight quarters as americans fight the worst inflation in 40 years ahead of an expensive winter heating season. hello. i am sandra smith, hi, john. >> john: that is putting it it mildly. john robert in washington. good to be with you. this is "america reports." the labor department says gdp grew, but experts warn the u.s. is not out of the woods yet and recession is a distinct possibility over the next year. >> sandra: president biden still trying to capitalize on the rosy picture he keeps painting ahead of midterm elections, painting republicans as the party that will crash the american economy. biden speaking to reporters as he was departing the white house on the way to syra

governor kathy hochul, lee zeldin crashing on crime, abortion and donald trump's election lies. hello, i'm franklin graham. we're in election season and many politicians are promising that they're telling the truth. i can tell you there is one who always tells the truth. that is the lord jesus christ. he said, "i'm the way, the truth and the life, "and no man comes to the father except through me." there aren't many ways to god. there is only one, and that's through jesus christ. god sent jesus to earth to save us from our sins. he took our sins to the cross. he shed his blood and died, was buried, and god raised him to life on the third day. if you have never trusted him, if you have never put your faith in the embodiment of truth, the lord jesus christ, you can do that right now. just pray this prayer with me. just say, "god i'm a sinner, i'm sorry, forgive me. "i want to turn from my sins, "i believe that jesus christ is your son. "i want to trust him as my savior, "and follow him as my lord. "from this day forward. if you prayed that prayer, call that number right now. god b

hochul is not big on supporting the police and crime.y donating to her campaign. you have to realize that a lot of the legislation that takes place in albany that pass the legislations, they get money from the pba. this is a bizarre way not to -- a very dumb move. >> neil: i see what you're saying. you're hedging your bets. you think you'd write a check to both in that event. if she's the prohibitive favorite, you're just trying to assure keeping her in your good graces, right? >> absolutely. i think that's what donation was all about. >> neil: another thing governor hochul mentioned as you know, howard, this idea that lee zeldin has one plan, talks time on crime but won't do anything about the guns. she says she's nod doing anything about bail reform either. where do you think this goes? >> well, i think if lee zeldin gets elected, the nypd is going to become much more assertive. they're going to go back to doing stop and frisk. they're going to do the things that made the city the safest in my tenure. if hochul gets elected, you'll see

governor hochul, syracuse university i believe is her alma-mater.oment there as we had lee zeldin running against her on the program a short time ago. >> john: i mean the very fact that zeldin potentially has a shot at unseating shows you how far things have shifted the last few weeks. >> sandra: indeed. john, this week marks a decade since new york and new jersey coasts were pulverized by a rare meteorological mutant. part hurricane, part nor easer. it flooded downtown manhattan, left a new york city subway facing delays due to repair work for nine years. >> this is what it is looking like. imagine what it looks like once we feel the brunt. >> the concern is for water to spill over the pat re, enter the subway. >> it became a monster, extended tentacles out thousands of miles. >> so many of us remember that well. joining us, meteorologist amy freeze joining us. >> good to be with you. hard to believe it has been ten years. we have fresh memories and so much is still to be done. it turned out to be new york city. back to the storm, had impacts from

let's go to new york where kathy hochul faced off against lee zeldin.ed after the january 6th attack on the capitol whether he would again vote not to certify the election, couldn't get a straight answer. >> vote was on two states, pennsylvania and arizona. and the issue remains today, it's about looking forewards, not backwards. >> these are weasel words. there was no evidence then, and certainly, no evidence now, that could remotely justify trying to overturn the election to keep donald trump in power. so the issue does not remain today. and there's no riggling out of accountability by trying to pretend this is about looking forward. it's not. >>> all right, next, let's go to michigan where democratic governor getten witmer is facing off against tudor dixon. with the sudden repeal of roe v. wade, a 1934 michigan law remains on the books which bans abortion even in the case of rape or incest. in response, proposal 3 is on the ballot to amend the abortion rights. dixon described the proposal this way. >> most radical abortion law in the entire country.

turning to new york with governor ka ka kathy hochul. zeldon hitting hochul of her cashless bail. >> i am going to suspend cashless bail because there is a crime emergency. my opponent thinks now there is a polio emergency going on but not a crime emergency. >> anyone committing laws, have consequences. >> governor hochul does not support vaccine mandate for kids at this time. senator zeldin says he does not support vaccine mandate in any way or form. >> matt, we'll see you coming up in the night cap. >>> dr. oz and john fetterman's debate lit up social media where a lot of people saying it is uncomfortable to watch. a lot of people already voting by mail, will this debate move the needle? let's bring in the author of the new book, "come on, man," joe conche, great to see you, always. i want to give people context of where we are. this is the fox news power ranking. you can see right there they are calling it a toss up. we move onto the real clear politics average right here and you can see they are giving fetterman about as 1.3 percenta

>> kathy hochul supports it. she was bragging about it. >> there is no crime fighting plan without legal guns. >> especially with the change to bail, i don't know why that's so important. >> alexis mcadams was live in the news room. what do hopeful's say about the race? >> a few questions after the debate i asked governor hochul is she surprised the race is close in a blue state. she said she's not worried about the numbers. crime was the hot topic focused on that issue. zeldin says he will declare a crisis and kick the d.a. out of office. hochul is focused on policy not sound bites. >> we need to repeal the halt act, amend raise the ageless is more. we need to make our streets safe again. i'm run to go take back our streets. >> in lee zeldins world you overturn election you don't agree with. >> zeldin blames local policies for accidents saying people are moving out of fork for better opportunities. the incumbent says as she works to bring new business in she's working open the economy. one talking point was tryi

on the state's violent crime wave leaving hochul to wonder, why do you care so much about this issue of crime? governor, here's a hint, people are dying. now both tudor dixon and lee zeldin will join us straight ahead and also georgia senate candidate herschel walker will be here and we begin tonight in the great state of pennsylvania, the commonwealth and dr. oz will join news a moment with reaction to one of the most, i guess you can say unusual debates in american history. now, tonight it's official, the coverup is over, democrats, the media mob, the fetterman campaign, they were all lying to all of us and john fetterman is not mentally, physically, cognitively fit so serve. he should not be running for the senate and in a word what we saw last night was painful, hard to watch. i'll give him full analysis in just a moment but here's how fetterman started the entire debate. take a look at this. >> you're running for a seat that could decide the balance of power in washington. what qualifies you to be a u.s. senator? you have 60 seconds. >> hi, good night, everybody. >>sean: good ni

that's what kathy hochul is working for as governor. >> your thoughts on that new add from hochul. >> she knows what's in front mind of new york voters apparently. that's why lee zeldin is doing so well. to your question before, the reality is the reason the democrats are not doing well and the republicans are is you have to look at what is front and center in the mind of voters across america. number 1, it's groceries every day. you're reminded how much the price of groceries are. number 2, what is the price of gas. number 3, crime, which is why governor that is not doing well on crime is trying to make it look like she is. number 4, parental rights. people are ticked off at their schools and what is happening and what their kids are being taught. the harvard university put out a study two weeks ago. abortion was number 6 on the list after everything i just said, plus immigration. so voters know what they care about and right now the democrats don't have any lifelines with two weeks left to go. >> martha: nancy pelosi was on the sunday shows. she basically said that inflation is a gl

from a quinnipiac poll, 4% between kathy hochul and the challenger lee zeldin. hochul just started talking about crime, is she a day late and a dollar short? >> i think people have to talk about crime effectively. it has been used by zeldin and others to try to gain politically. and i don't know if you can say it's somebody's fault. i think when you look at violent crime, violent crime is up in new york state, especially new york city, but guns are often seen as a republican issue because republicans back erosion of gun control, so i think it can play both ways. but she has not addressed it as aggressively as lee has -- as congressman zeldin. >> could it cost her the governorship? >> it could. new york is a tough state, like new jersey, but what was the last time -- pataki in 1994. we don't have a great track record when it comes to new york republican governors. however, i think lee zeldin has been very focused on this message of crime, which i think has obviously helped him. you are seeing the democrats and hochul, they have miscalculated on the messaging stra

he's been hammering democratic governor hochul over that, helped zeldin erase a 24-point deficit this summer. i interviewed mr. zeldin and he told me governor hochul when it comes to crime just does not get it. >> she doesn't understand, does not articulate why it is we lead the entire country in population loss. so when you see pro criminal laws passed and not rolled back like cashless bail, district attorneys are not enforcing the law. >> yesterday governor hochul, just eight miles here in west chester county where we are now campaigning with first lady jill biden. she called crime a "conspiracy" she says between republicans n the media saying crime is not as bad as people make it out to be, despite some horrifying incidents. she just wrapped a news conference in new york with the gun safety group moms demand action. they are pressing for new gun laws, and the end to try and end the epidemic of gun violence. she says that zeldin's gun policies are off the mark. >> a crime plan, oh, i'm tough on crime, but he's soft on guns. he thinks the answer to crime is giving everybody a gun. wh

in new york the attention in the bluest of blue states that kathy hochul could lose, a democrat withe. why republican governors are trying to help lee zeldin out to close that deal. what that tells you after this. ♪ hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. i was 424 pounds and my doctor was recommending weight loss surgery. to avoid the surgery, i had to make a change. so i decided to go with golo and it's changed my life. ♪. neil: all right. you know think about it, president biden is laying pretty low in helping out candidates, those who might seek out his help in the midterm election but not his old boss, barack obama, they recruited the big gun of the democratic party to close the deal for democrats in close races. the irony, as impressive as barack obama campaigning it only seems to work when he is on the ballot, not so of when others are on the ballot. grady trimble in border town, wisconsin, on all of that, grady? reporter: i guess we will see, neil, what type of clout the former president still has because he was here in wisconsin this weekend as all of the candidates

. >> congressman lee zeldin is running against kathy hochul. she is currently the governor of new york . she's never been elected. she was appointed after they threw the old guy out forad some kind of sex crime that no one ever really explained. hochul has done a lot to make the state even worse, particularly new york city. >> which is now dirtier and more dangerous than a lot of third world cities. kathy hochul has mad much dirtier and much more dangerous this year in new york city, robberies are up 34%, felony assaults are up 14%. grand larceny, 40%. 34% motor vehicle theft. murders in 36% murders in the subwaysas his system are as high as they've be been in a quarter century.quarte thato that's the population center of the state that popul kathy hochul runs. now, before you say, well,thy hh maybe she's not responsible for. all this, responsible for all of it, but she's responsible th for the change that made the worst crimes possible. and that would be new york's so-called bail reform law. that law lets criminals out on the street immediatel

but hochul didn't just concede that issue to him. she pushed back for example by having his position on guns and guns are a huge issue in new york, in buffalo, new york, especially where there was a mass shooting last year sometime, so she fought back on that issue. and she also turned it on another local issue here, you know, zeldin is very much in favor of trying to remove the local district attorney here who has said he is not going to prosecute low level offenders, bail reform is a big issue, and hochul tried to turn that on zeldin by saying that is another example of how he was going to subvert the will of the people. as an elected official. as zeldin said he would not certify the 2020 election again, for donald trump. so while crime is a huge issue here, and it is going to be, it is an emotional issue, there was another sensational tragic crime of someone being pushed on the subway tracks here just in the news a couple of days ago, hochul has not conceded that, she's fought back on that issue. who will win on that issue? it's u

hochul's lead tightening rapidly.litics has the governor leading zeldin by a little more than 7 points. that's a big shift when hochul two months ago had a commanding 18 point cushion zeldin is within striking distance and now hochul appears to be making a concerted effort to highlight her efforts on crime. cnbc's valerie castro is in new york city tonight where a series of recent attacks are putting that issue front and center. >> you deserve to feel safe and as your governor, i won't stop working until you do >> my first day as governor i'll declare a crime emergency. >> as mid-term election day nears pitting democratic governor kathy hochul against republican lee zeldin, both candidates squarely focused on crime in the city. a 43-year-old man was stabbed in the back at a harlem subway station on friday. another shoved on the tracks in brooklyn last week recently a so-called green gob lynn gang assaulting strap hangers in times square while abortion rights took headlines earlier this year in a tra traditionally blue

she says hochul hochul says zeldin cannot be trusted, zeldin says he would not, could not change the state's strict abortion. focused on donald trump hammering home the maga connection that she hopes voter will connect with. polls show crime and economy are what people care abut bought. head of the election and early voting starts on saturday, we'll see how this debate impact what is people think, neil. neil: i forgot about early voting in saturday in new york. thank you very much for that, alexis mcadams. bill hemmer is stepping back to look at all the races, postdebate fallout and how it could sort out in the united states senate. bill, good to have you. >> neil, show you a couple things where we think the senate stands and house as well. if the thing doesn't work i will throw it off the brooklyn bridge. then we'll have a story for stuart a little later. how does that sound? is that a deal? neil: perfect. >> we put together the scenario, pardon my back here, neil, we're going to start with a marker here as we go into election night, 49 republicans, 47 democrats. we believe based on

what is hochul's solution to crime? the state's insane built laws but bragging about tightening gun laws. it is not just celdon. as -- it -- if hochul's leaders anywhere in the range, zelda and is likely leading in every battleground health district and there are several of them. joining me now is congressman lee zeldin one of those republicans running, mark moeller not. do you believe you can win enough voters in new york city and on long island? >> congressman zeldin: absolutel y. i'm not in this race to come in second, laura. all in. we are feeling that momentum. we have the energy, the issues are on our side. we are going to be pulling of the vote that we need to from inside of the city and outside the city to win this race. we seek with the polling no, you are covering it as far as what the issues are that matter most to new yorkers. they are not getting the leadership from a corrupt governor who is pandering to pro-criminal allies in the state legislature and in her place. you have another -- getting past and as a

lee zeldin calling out hochul for your honor itting the cheek to crime during the debate. >> we wantan't talk about the other people targeted with more than just illegal guns, yeah, we should go after the criminal committing crime after crime after crime, but what about the person being pushed in front of ongoing subway car or the person getting stabbed right now or beaten to death on the street or that small business owner getting robbed? >> ashley: hochul says she doesn't know why people are worried about crime and statistically new york city is the safest city in america. listen to this. >> anyone who commits a crime under our laws especially with the change made to bail has consequences. i don't know why that is so important to you, all i know, we could do more. >> ashley: latest quinnipiac poll, lee zeldin is trailing kathy hochul by four points, back to you guys. >> carley: crime is a top issue in the pennsylvania senate race, dr. oz getting support from the widow of murdered police officer daniel faulkner, the man who killed him is appealing to be released from prison and she

today, president biden think governor hochul. >> governor hochul, thank you for the passport into the you have been a great partner to me and a great leader to the state. you saw an opportunity to track more semiconductor supply chain businesses, and u.s. signed a law to make new york even more welcoming. when i was up here as a law student, we had kodak, general electorate, governors always believed it could be that way again. she thought that would be the case, and is poised to lead the world in advanced manufacturing. >> joining us now is the 57th governor of new york, kathy hochul, think you very much for joining us tonight, governor. and i would like to begin with the way that democracy is on the ballot in the state of new york. in the percent of the republican candidate for governor, who actually voted in the house representatives to overthrow the last presidential election. you know, people think of new york, i think out there, the other 49 states, as this very liberal state where they do not have members of congress like that, but there are republican strongholds in the state,

he's been eager to debate governor cathy hochul. they're debating tonight. their only scheduled debate will be one hour. we've seen in recent polls that he's really tightening the race. one is the siena college poll. kathy hochul is 11 points ahead but that has shrunk six points in the last month. there was a quinnipiac poll out recently that showed kathy hochul just four points ahead. so lee zeldin himself, republicans in general are hoping that maybe this can be the year that republicans can do this again. so you can expect him to hit kathy hochul on crime. that has been his main issue. and in fact according to the polling of new york voters, they see that, new york voters see crime as a top issue. republicans ranking it their most urgent issue, followed by inflation. so we've been seeing zeldin going to bodegas and subways and anywhere there's been a violent incident reported to talk about concerns about public safety and how he'll be better protecting new yorkers. listen to new yorkers i caught up with in brooklyn talking about their concerns of crime. >

because, governor hochul, it's not important to you. the governor abandons as a bins concerns for the attention seeking woke garbage that her staff handpicks off of twitter. and now she can't offer real help, just make help. otherwise she'd make crime fighting number one and save questions for people who are trying to vote. now they claim any attempt at law and order is systemic racism, answering only to activists instead of crime ravaged raped on our streets, why is that so important to you? >> todd: burying his head in his hands of the wisconsin jury finds him guilty related to last year's tragedy. some of those charges including 6 pounds of additional homicide from wisconsin's equivalent of murder, and 61 counts of reckless endangerment. speak to kimberly, good morning to you. it took the judge about a half-hour yesterday to read all the guilty verdicts. what is your reaction to the outcome of this case? >> good morning. so i think a lot of us were able to maybe take a breath. it's validation. i think justice needs to happen, even mo

what is kathy hochul claiming no karn bail is reform. they're letting out alleged murderers around people committing alleged homicide? >> yeah. emac, remember when terry mcauliffe during the debate with glenn youngkin virginia's governor's race, parents don't have a say in kid's education. that was a line that killed his campaign. contact think hochul asked last night why is it so important to have criminals behind bars. it may be something she does not recover from. bottom line, murders are up 25-year high in new york city. homicides are up. people are afraid. paying more money to live in new york or leaving in a mass exodus as lee zeldin pointed out last night. deep blue state like new york no, it's a big, big problem for even democrats now. elizabeth: guys, where is the hair on fire moment for democrats? people are being murdered. >> yeah. elizabeth: what is more of a civil rights violation, congressman than letting accused an convicted murderer out of prison early on parole who goes on to kill again? democrats are bilge about civil r

that brings me to kathy hochul. calling on a federal solution because it's becoming a liability for her. we have tiny towns in texas that don't have a tenth of the population of new york taking in 50,000 migrants in a month. hochul has taken in 11,000 in a year. to me it's a bit of a joke. if you cared about the migrants you would have been speaking up when they were suffocating and drowning in rivers. she started speaking up when they got on air conditioned buses. hard for me to buy. >> we saved the most important story of the day for last. beloved cartoon scooby-doo is revamping coming out as gay after decades of speculation, a clip from the new halloween movie is going viral online. one of the main characters velma is fawning over a female designer. >> as promised here are the scoobie's -- oh. ♪ >> take it away. >> listen, i don't even have a problem with velma being gay. if we take scooby-doo seriously we should be concerned about the talking dog. the mystery machine can't afford gas so they don't go any where.

but they are undercutting their message when even governor hochul has sought to amend it. obviously it is a problem and i think he put the issue on the table for people. >> dana: crime is the number one issue for voters in new york. it shouldn't be that way. government -- government is supposed to keep you safe and people don't feel it. >> we know it in the city. it dominates conversations now. when people talk about new york city they used to talk about the nightlife, things they are doing in town. cultural experiences. it is all about here is the craziness i saw outside my building today and going through penn station. it's beyond spin. you look at these horrible videos, this is what people are living with. >> bill: that's an excellent and practical point that you just made. let's move to pennsylvania right now and get into it with fetterman and oz. there was a poll a month ago that had fetterman up six points. margin of error four. you could say it was a dead tie. today the real clear average has the race 1.3 points that separate the two. it's well within the margin of

hochul or khan way west.k out to me -- [laughter] good question. what stuck out to me was when governor hochul just dismissed the crime issue, turned to lee zeldin and said i don't know what you're so worried about -- i don't know the exact words, but she dismissed -- >> why is it so important to you. stuart: that was the perfect opening for lee zeldin. >> and he took it. and you know what? that, i'm sure, is going to be a commercial real soon if it's not up already on the air. and that encapsulates -- i remember, stu, when i, you know, earlier this year the two nypd officers who were gunned down, and i was at the funeral mass at st. patrick's cathedral, and the wives were pleading with governor hochul who was in the front pew and eling her the system is broken can -- telling her the system is broken, that people are dying and getting hurt and to change the no cash bail law. and she just sat there, and then outside the press asked her and sort of, like, coldly just said i'm sticking by my no cash bail law. an

we don't know much about them or for sure, kathy hochul is talking about guns.re talking about cashless bail. reforms to the criminal justice system that prioritize criminals over the innocent victims and we're talking about a continuous demoralizing and defunding police movement that is having terrible repercussions on our communities. no one is safe. not just new york city and long island. it is upstate new york. i was in the lovely hamlet of jewel, right off onieda lake, in rural area of oswego county, in the countryside, they're worried about problems. we have problems here as well this is a problem because of albany's laws. elizabeth: what the congresswoman is saying, joe, thanks for joining us too, kathy hochul appointed a bail reformed a very cat as one of top legal aids. gop in new york like putting an arsonist in charge of the fire department. show the no care bail reform bill that was passed and criminals are let go accuse of crimes. joe, what is your reaction of what happened to lee zeldin. >> this is absolutely terrible, the victims and young daughte

and they know that they have to break this one party rule. >> kathy hochul will not get this job done. we will win three weeks from today. everybody's got to get out and vote. and congress, molinaro, i mean, they use the big special election as a barometer. the democrat are going to say they're going to be home free in the midterms. it's all going to be great. but we've seen in new york , upstate new york , western, eastern and down in the boroughs, people are scared. i felt in new york last time there, people are afraid. what are you hearing on the campaign? all over new york ? people recognize that the policies out of albany and by the way, embraced by democrats in washington are just making us less safe . lee is absolutely correct. moms are concerned about their kids, kids concerned about their own safety. and we see it the policies to undermine law enforcement. passionless bail specifically in new york has made it nearly impossible to provide for public safety. police officers are risking their lives every day. and those prosecutors that want to enforce the law have such a disince

and hochul, to her credit, perhaps, was emphasizing competent. she talked about the things she's done over the last couple of months she's been on the job. they tried to remain measured, whereas you could tell zeldin seemed to feel this was a big opportunity. this was a big moment. he was really trying to make the most of it. here's some of what they had to say about their vision for new york. it says something about how they see the world very differently. take a listen. >> lee zeldin once said new york is dying. i don't think people of the state to want have the grim reaper as their leader. they want someone who sees a path forward, who's lived the struggle. >> thank you. >> and i'm that governor. >> you ask me, why does new york lead the nation in population law? their wallets, kids education are under attack. they've hit their breaking point. >> reporter: early voting starts on saturday. as everyone has pointed out, there hasn't been a republican who's won the governorship since 2002. it's been a long time, two to one voter edge amongst democ

y kathy hochul is so outho of tou touch.last night during the debate, she couldn'tch and lasring the d why lee zeldin thinks crime is such a big deal . pey doought cr you think it's sh a big deal ? because people are dying. cathy , take a looopk. look the first day that i'm in office, i'm going to declare a crime emergency in suspend castle's bail and these other criminal laws, because therees is a crime emergency.a ur my opponent thinks that righy.t now there's a polio emergencydir fring on , buten there's not a crime emergency. different prioritieseopl that ti i'm hearing from people right now. they're not being represented from this this governor whoway o still to thiugs moment when we halfway through the debate, she's still hasn't talked about locking up anyone, committing any crimes, anyone who commitsrs a crime. one of our laws, especiallecialy the changes he made to bail, has consequences. i don't know why s so>>sean: important to you. >> all i know is that we coulda. do more . dot know why that's so important. does s

first of all, kathy hochul has never been elected governor. she was lt.ok over when andrew the disgraced andrew cuomo left office, so and there's a real enthusiasm gap for her. she truly, she's run a very stager campaign. she hasn't really campaigned, she's tried to go around the state cutting ribbons and giving cliche speeches but she's put no agenda on the table that voters could rally around. she's been accused of pay-to- play because she's raised so much money of her campaign war chest coming from people with business with the state who have received really sweetheart contracts. she's certainly up to her eyeballs in the crime bail reform laws that have turned a lot of criminals loose on the street, and zeldin, her opponent, has been about these things, and just as voters everywhere are talking about inflation and crime, that's double true in new york and new york city, so i think this is a winnable race. i think it's probably closer than 10 points, and i think the closing arguments are going to be key. david: you know, another key issue is the media,

maria: in fact, governor cath reigns leading hochul in new york -- cathy hochul in new york said she's not discussing cashless bail till after the election and she's under fire of promoting a major advocate of the state's reform law to be one of the top legal advisers. according to linked in, joshua norkin, the project coordinator -- the decarceration project at legal aid society was promoted in july. your reaction to that and, congressman, have you ever seen new york in such a position? have you seen it this bad before? >> no, absolutely not. not in my lifetime and, listen, i was younger when the stories from the '80s were impacting families inside of new york city very hard. i saw an interview over the weekend with former democratic governor david patterson who was reflecting on the '80s and '90s when the violence was bad then and he says he feels more unsafe today than he felt unsafe back then in the '80s and early '90s before rudy giuliani first came in. now cathy hochul picks brian benjamin who was on top of the scandals that led to the arrest and resignation, he was the champion
