. >> carley: when it comes to the governor's race and there are other important races like mike lawleratrick patrick maloney. sean patrick maloney's job, it is to keep democrats in power. the fact that he is at risk of losing his job is saying something. but going back to the governor's race, if you think about crime and how that was a major issue forever when i spoke to on the streets, think about what kathy hochul said a few months ago in the summer when she was asked about bail reform. she said, "oh, i will address it but i will address it in january." she didn't say this race was going to be difficult for her to win. and she was as i say kicking the can down the road until next year. people are saying that is not good enough for me. the last thing i will say gallup came out with a poll which party do you think will do better handling the issue that matters most to you? that is an interesting poll because they don't specify the issue. the person gets to pick the issue that matters most to them. 48% said republicans and 37% said democrats the wages, the widest margin in the long time

mike lawler beat dccc sean patrick maloney, the chairman, becoming the first to oust a sitting house campaign committee chair since 1992. on long island, george san toast defeating democrat robert zimmerman by nearly 10 points in a long island district joe biden won by double digits. and in the next district over, retired new york city police department detective anthony d'espisito winning a house seat held by democrats for roughly two decades. here now on their very exciting week those three new york congressman elect. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> steve: all right. so, mike, you know, we have been talking about where's the red wave. there walls a red wave on long island. >> absolutely. and across new york state. you know, we are going to send # 1 members from the new york to congress and that will ultimately deliver the house majority for republicans. and, you know, being in the hudson valley, rockland county, west chester, putnam, duchess we defeated the chair of the dccc first time in 42 years. and, you know, today hillary clinton, bill clinton

. >> republican new york congressman mike lawler said not even the clintons could save his opponent,ocrat congressional chaired sean patrick maloney. >> it wasn't until two weeks ago that he realized he had a problem when he had to call him bill clinton to campaign. he asked hillary clinton to send an email and up the 30,000 she deleted, but he also asked joe biden to do a fund-raiser for just last week. this district, this district is home to the clintons and george soros. the fact that they have a republican congressman speaks volumes to wear the elect where it is. >> carley: mike lawler beating out maloney with the first else sitting campaign committee chair since 1982. and now republicans hope to turn wins like mike lawler into majority and president biden wishing the plan to investigate him, his administration and scandal written first son hunter. >> carley: [boos] >> todd: brooke singman with the latest, hey, brooke. >> said dimmick celebrating the term success, the american people are finished with republican lawmakers looking into him, his son, hunter and his business deals.

congressman elect mike lawler moments ago. >> this election was never about me. it was about the voters of my district and the future of their families. and right now we're dealing with record inflation, surging crime, skyrocketing energy prices, and people wanted change. >> harris: in florida the gop has added four seats to their house delegation. army veteran mills the winner in florida's 7th said this about his victory. >> things like the economy, inflation were the driving factors. seems like they are out of touch messaging was a big factor but i also in my district specifically they saw me as a person of action whether it was my service in military as a combat veteran or me going to afghanistan to help rescue americans after the botched withdrawal or even during hurricane ian. >> harris: you know, jason, i wonder if that introspection for republicans includes or does not include former president trump. >> i hope so. i think it really needs to. i think for him even before the votes were closed to start to take shots at ron desantis, i mean, honestly, when i g

joining us now is republican congressman-elect, mike lawler of new york.a rare bright spot for republicans on tuesday when they thought there was going to be a wave. there obviously was not. what do you think your victory says about tuesday night and what's the big takeaway for you? >> i think especially in new york, as i've said many times, this was the first time in our nation's history that democrats controlled everything in washington, albany and new york city. and voters in new york especially were looking for balance and common sense restored to every level of government. i think what we saw by picking up four congressional seats and now sending 11 members of congress to washington speaks volumes to that. and, you know, the redistricting process certainly played a big role. i think democrats got very greedy in trying to gerrymander new york's maps and when the courts threw them out and drew a fair map, it really gave us an opportunity to swing the suburbs back to republican. >> when we talked to you last week before your victory, we asked you what ki

join me now is a republican representative elect, mike lawler of new york. he's currently a member of the new york state assembly. he defeated sean patrick maloney, who was the head of the democratic congressional campaign committee and a major upset. e >> sir, good to have you here. thank you for joining us this morning. congratulations on your victory. i want to ask for your commentary and everything i've just said. you heard me talk about not normal republicans, before we talk about election deniers, you've heard me talk about liz cheney, you've heard me talk with adam fresh. tell me how this all relates to how you ended up defeating a very prominent democrat in upstate new york. >> well i think that there are a number of factors that played into my defeating sean maloney. number one was the redistricting fiasco in new york. democrats try to gerrymander new york's congressional maps down to four republicans, in 22 democrats. ultimately, a democrat appointed court of appeals, through that matt, out appointed a special master, and provided a fair map which

mike lawler ran a race we watched closely. remember sean duffy saying it was the house race to watch, right? he was able to flip it against a very powerful democrat in washington, sean patrick maloney. so the obvious question or any lessons learn and what does it indicate for 2024? >> we get majorities by winning those districts that you just had on the screen, sandra. we expand our majorities by going after democrats in trump districts and holding them accountable for being the conservatives they campaigned on. mccarthy in the first month should make democrats vote on whether we'll keep the child tax credits that were passed in 2017. we ought to be having votes on whether we will secure the border to keep fentanyl out. we ought to have a vote and make democrats say whether they'll be for making it easier to allow permitting for oil and gas. if the democrats who ran as conservatives won in 2022, want to keep their seats in 2024, they ought to show they actually do want to work with house republicans to move the country forward

maloney was defeated after seeking sixth term by mike lawler. >> that is a problem.u have open seats and they lose by double digits. so the candidates have to outperform the governor 514 points, 15 points and that is a lot to ask as a first timer. and it was our inability to speak to voters in suburban new york city. >> todd: it is not just kathy hochul but targeting aoc. and inserting "the last time i ran with aoc, we were endorsing the candidate 2-1 and i did not see her at one of the midterms helping with the house majority. so i'm not sure what kind of advice she has, but i'm sure she will be generous with it" aoc pared back in a tweet, "let's be crystal clear, as far as donations, it was the first thing that i did this term over a quarter million dollars for dems, dcc facilitated thumbnail and not aware of my visits with the efforts that we put him in." mayor adams attempting to distance himself and at the same time defended his policies saying, he's not to blame but the professors are. >> i'm just waiting for ross sterling to come out. that simply is the twilig

and the second, i was in his district following canvassers weeks ago and the rebound mike lawler won not because of he is a magical candidate but outside groups spent $6 million on crime against sean patrick maloney. he has never been to this district. and is this is more like a splinter from a white picket fence than a victim of crime. or lyme disease. >> it is a beautiful district. >> and this is a case study for democrats as republicans use crime as fear and looks different and people moving in who are black and brown and not about crime as an issue. it is an issue in other parts of the country. so that's my lesson from this. mike lawler, i understand why he gave that speech but it is really about the millions spent on the outside. >> let's take a moment here, and we're going to take a quick break. i'm going to tease something. we have some news from mike pence. we also have news from jason miller on team trump about what he is advising the president to do about that november 15th announcement. don't go anywhere. reaction from mar-a-lago, or the world around mar-a-lago, in just a

. >> sandra: in a deep blue county he is in jeopardy of losing that seat to mike lawler, the republican running against him, and he's running big time on inflation. how can you pitch to voters that hey, just change the way you eat, change the things you are feeding your family, not actually offer a solution to inflation. >> he said that's what families have to do, go eat canned food. this is a man who voted for every single element of the inflation, and even democratic economists have been saying for months the better part of a year, this was insane to spend as much as they did. warning signs were everywhere. now the message is buy some canned food and eat that. good luck with that message. >> sandra: jackie, nothing against chef boyardee but you cannot tell people to change their habits and not offer a solution. gas prices people are paying, today 3.80, 1 day prior to election day. 2.39 when biden took office, up 59%. but also something on the horizon and that is home heating costs. as we enter into the winter heating season, people have already been told because prices of these commod

we had several of the winners on our show yesterday, including mike lawler, who actually took the seatck maloney, who is a democratic congressional campaign chairman. he has been on the show's saying, "oh, my gosh, what happened in new york? "he's blaming leadership, the current leaders for being soft on crime basically. he said, "the competitive gubernatorial race gave the republicans a reason to turn out. that might not normally be the case when the outcome is a foregone conclusion. i can also tell you the governor really struggled in the suburbs, and it clearly had an effect on her races as well. i want to be clear, not blaming the governor. it is just a fact she was able to make up the difference in the city, but that doesn't help in the suburban districts." that is what we saw in your area, brian long island, big red wave out there. you said years ago you only had one republican -- >> brian: and that is flipped, here is what governor hochul did nothing on crime coming ignored and never left the mansion but just raise money and the people are like lee zeldin and he proved to be rea

charge of making sure the democrats keep the house in his own district right now is vulnerable to mike lawlerthey've put in the work but maloney's saying that it's never been a cake walk for him. he's always had to fight and earn it. lawler saying he believes that right now, people are looking for change. we talked to a lot of voters and there's a wide breadth of issues that's driving them to the polls. let's listen to some of them. >> democrats are the only ones coming up with solutions and working towards an end towards those solutions. i feel that that biden cannot be blamed for inflation and that people should take a wider stance on things. >> i wouldn't want a trump supporter to be governor. that's an issue. >> i think we need to change the direction. i wasn't particularly fond of the previous administration, but the direction i approved of more than the direction now. i'm not voting personally, i'm voting from the issues. >> reporter: i've spoken to more than a dozen voters today and i've heard all of the issues being number one from the war in ukraine to reproductive rights, inflation,

york, including the head of the democrat party's political arm, sean patrick maloney losing to mike lawler. and we still have a lot of races outstanding, including over in portland, oregon, where there could be a major flip of a seat we have not had in decades. and ran to get the economy back on track, lower gas prices, the things people care about and we'll be able to do those in the house. >> john: a slim majority in the house, not the really governing majority we thought you might get. the senate still up for grabs, there is a possibility may hold a slim majority there. what's your prediction for what the next two years look like. if you have a slim majority in the house, you don't control the senate, that's one thing. a slim majority in the house, you do in the senate, that's a little bit of a different thing. but it still looks like a recipe for gridlock. what do you say to the american people? >> what i say to the american people, we appreciate that we are going to have a republican majority in the house to pass the conservative agenda that we ran on through the house. we acknowledge

patrick maloney head of the dcc that was my governor pick but this one is new york 17 running against mike lawlermondaire jones who is no longer in the house anymore and it was supposed to be favorable area for him. basically a biden plus 10 district and he is on the ropes which is a very difficult situation for him to be in. so, now he is sort of scrambling to get right on the inflation side and discussing how when he was growing up with eight kids in the family these kind of times meant chef boyardee for dinner. generally trying to say to people i understand what you are going through but that got seized upon by lawler. this is definitely a race we are going to be watching very closely tomorrow night and you have got several other in new york in these house races that will be really good indications of whether or not we are pink, red or redder. >> bret: ben, your race. >> i chose one that is going to be a surprise for a lot of the democrats kay porter out in california attracted a ton of attention. top five fundraiser in the house. has gone viral for her progressive action on capitol hill. but

it looks like mike lawler turned out to be a really good candidate. maloney is down with 77% of the vote counted. what i find interesting, you go up the new york 18, look what you are seeing here. pat ryan just hanging on. both of these guys are veterans. pat ryan ran in that special election back in august. they like this candidate a lot. this is new york 19. just taking the lead over riley. the one who lost to pat ryan just about three months ago. get some race calls right now. >> thank you. we can predict that gretchen witmer will prevail over republican dixon in that michigan race very closely watched. able to close the gap there towards the end. witmer has pulled out another term as governor of michigan. >> we can project that kathy hogle will win her first full term in office defeating lee zeldon. this race, you could not project at the beginning that it was going to be as close as it was. there were democrats in the state saying this is a done deal and zeldon was going to win. kathy hochul pulls it out. she brought in every luminary in the demo

new york, congressmember sean patrick maloney has conceded to republican state assembly member mike lawler in the race for the newly redrawn 17th congressional district. maloney served as chair of the democratic congressional campaign committee, making it his responsibility to protect democrats' majority in the house. we will talk more about what happened in new york state after the headlines. on wednesday, house republican leader kevin mccarthy declared his candidacy for speaker of the house even though republicans significantly underperformed in the midterms and they have yet to clinch house majority. mccarthy's main rival for house speaker, louisiana congressmember steve scalise, said he would instead run to become republican majority leader. more than 210 republicans who denied the results of the 2020 election or cast doubt on joe biden's presidential victory won races for congress, governor, secretary of state, or attorney general. one top election denier is arizona gubernatorial candidate kari lake who has refused to say if she would accept defeat at the polls. with 70% of votes coun

gop state legislator mike lawler will represent the new york 17th instead. >> and as we sit here, i can't with 100% certainty tell you who ho holds the house majority, but i will leave it to others to make predictions. we're going to do it the right way. >> so far indicates have fended off a red wave, the latest nbc projection shows republicans winning 221 seats in the house versus 214 for democrats that's enough to give the gop the majority but there is no official call yet. meanwhile, the senate is still up for grabs dr. oz conceded the race for pennsylvania's open senate seat to democrat john fetterman that's a big flip for the party and vote counting in nevada is likely to go through at least tomorrow arizona's expected to finish on friday at the earliest, and melissa, there could still be a couple of surprises left zpr last night's midterm results were full of surprises for many including our next guest who was predicting a republican sweep in washington with a split congress looking likely, what lies ahead remains unclear. brian, great to have you with us you were actually predictin

republican mike lawler unseated the dccc chair maloney in new york. >> governor hochul should look at the results and recognize that voters are not only dissatisfied, but they want change. she has a responsibility. i have said many times if the state of new york refuses to act, then the federal government needs to intervene. this is outrageous. government's primary responsibility is to insure the public safety. >> harris: a new op-ed argues in voting for governor new yorkers were clear they want a safer city but not panicked enough to vote for a republican. that's fair but democrats and their enablers are responding with gibberish. democrats should focus on cutting crimes. instead settling on a different solution. the problem isn't crime but that the public knows too much about crime. i mean, that's slightly ignorant. jason rantz, seattle ktth radio host. really? the public knows too much so they don't know how to vote because they're overeducated on crime? >> or we just don't understand the actual data. that's the other thing. we've been told how many times that we are just wrong. th

. >> listen to what republican congressman elect mike lawler of new york told us yesterday morning. >i think more focus needs to be on the issues and the substance of those issues than personalities for sure. >> you want to see the party move forward from trump? >> yeah. i think moving in a different direction as we move forward is a good thing, not a bad thing. >> some of trump's biggest supporters and detractors are striking similar tones with regard to where the republican party should go from here. watch. >> there's a very high correlation between maga candidates and big losses. >> you know, the voters have spoken. and they have said that they want a different leader. and a true leader understands when they have become a liability. a true leader understands that it's time to step off the stage. >> i think he needs to put on pause, absolutely. he'll make that decision, his own decision. >> it is worth noting that gop support for former president donald trump did buckle in the wake of the 2020 election and the capitol hill insurrection only for republicans like senator lindsey graha

mike lawler, new congressman, i totally agree with what he said there.t was a little bit lukewarm. meanwhile, across the state in new york, much more prominent congresswoman elise stefanik, who took outlays cheney is already endorsing trump for 2024, which is tremendous. i think when you look at the analysis that the representative just made, i think it was one half of the problem. one part of the problem was donald trump endorsed these candidates. the other half the problem was that they stand with the other republicans, more normal republicans to invite him. herschel walker got a passing georgia. they didn't even try this. mitch mcconnell, back when i was in the party, he is too aggressively target the worst candidates in the primary and try to defeat them with a better candidates. well, they did you that this time because they were so scared of donald trump. they were scared their own voters would overflow them. maybe that changes now, maybe he is the canary in the coal mine. until i see a more aggressive full frontal attack on the former president fr

point, i wonder what that conversation is like with sean patrick maloney, in jeopardy of losing to mike lawlerst north of new york city. a race to watch tonight, john. >> john: we'll have it all at 6:00. >> sandra: no matter what happens tonight, at least one person is guaranteed winner. 1.9 billion times over after a technical mess-up meant powerball numbers were not drawn last night. one winning ticket was sold outside of los angeles worth a record jackpot of almost $2 billion. "america reports" will be right back. all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive. dry skin is sensitive skin, too. and it's natural. treat it that way with aveeno® daily moisture. formulated with nourishing, prebiotic oat. it's clinically proven to moisturize dry skin for 24 hours. aveeno® i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piec

also talking with his opponent mike lawler.s someone who knows the state well, he has been an operative in new york state well before he got into elected politics. he said that he felt confident that he was going to be the first person in 40 plus years to knock off the man who is the head of the dccc. and it seems that he may have just done it because sean patrick maloney called him to concede. and this is the culmination really of new york state maps shifting so aggressively. and then of course the fact that maloney himself was in an intra-party battle as to who would actually be the person in the primary to be the one to run in this district. so there is a lot of we'll say monday morning quarterbacking, although it is a wednesday here, within democratic ranks as to what happened with sean patrick maloney in this suburban new york district. but certainly this was one of the key races that we were watching and we're seeing now maybe no red wave, certainly not, but definitely a big loss for democrats. >> without a doubt. thank y

and you see people like mike lawler in upstate new york who's distanced himself from trump, who beat john patrick maloney. so chalk one up for the middle of the conference and just the coming clash between that wing, the mtg, to use short hand, wing, and the moderate, more traditional republican wing, is going to be epic because the mtg wing lost in this election. those candidates did not win. they had a tough time and they lost winnable districts for republicans. >> all right. co-founder of punchbowl news, jake sherman, thank you very much for being on this morning. >> thanks, jake. greatly appreciate it. >>> coming up, the latest from the university of virginia, which is under a shelter in place order right now following a deadly shooting overnight on campus. >>> and of course more tragedy on college campuses overnight, news out of idaho that there was a shooting at a college -- or there was an incident at the college campus there where actually four victims have been found dead near the campus. >> oh, my god. >> and the police are calling it a homicide. >> we'll be following that.

look who mike lawler stands next to. a firm he worked with.t's the best they could get to try to tie him to the extremism. michael, across the country and in new york, i think it's interesting that democrats had a much easier time against people they were able to paint as extremists, the ones who were not in favor of democracy, the ones who said 2020 was stolen, the ones more supportive of what happened on january 6. >> the exit polls showed in new hampshire, the voters said both sides were extreme. republicans thought democrats were extreme. democrats thought republicans -- >> maggie hassan won by a mile. >> i think to your point, it didn't start out that way. in the afterglow of seemingly important victories for democrats -- it's a victory to do what they did last night and achieve sort of a force of keeping and repelling the wave, it wasn't always that way. if you go back six weeks, everybody had their head in their soup and walking around like zombies thinking the sky is falling. there were those who saw something. it goes to how you start

mike lawler said that he thinks it's a good idea for the party to move on.ll street journal" has an op-ed saying what will democrats do if they don't have trump to use for their elections, saying trump should move on, he is the biggest the "new york post" called him humpty dumpty today. pau ryan said it. republicans lost. >> this has been the most predictable chapter that was to come in the trump era. all the republicans say, we're not really with this guy anymore. not because they are rejecting trump. not because they reject everything he did over the last six years. now he is an anchor around them. i will tell you, those who disaffected early and said the party shouldn't go in this direction, the reason many of us left the party is because we could never see ourselves going back to these people that we knew would then turn around and say, everything is bright and sunny now. the reality is, the biggest loser is coming out of election night is donald trump and kevin mccarthy. >> a lot of these republicans who might want to distance themselves from trump indi

mike lawler, of course, won that seat in the lower hudson valley.n valley. two on long island. anthony d'espisito former nypd officer was a pickup. george santos was also a pickup. and then we have races like the connecticut race with our amazing candidates george logan. we think that goes our way as well. you can build a majority just out of our inroads in the northeast. there is positive news across this country. we elected more republican women. which that number is going to grow in the next congress, which i have been very focused on in recruiting and supporting those women in florida. we picked up four seats. and, of course, our top of the ticket did very well and we flipped miami-dade county, which is really really important and shows the inroads we are making among hispanics. let's wait until these races are called, but we will win the majority thanks to the american people. >> brian: by the way, one of those seats that did flip george san tosantos, he joined "fox & s first." listen. >> i kept the entire race about the people. i kept it about

. >> i campaigned for mike lawler against sean -- he's going to lose by probably five or six points.last night and earlier donald trump said, i promise you in the very, very, very short period of time, you're going to be so happy and, of course, he was talking about 2024 and since it's been reported he will likely make the announcement to run the week of november 14th. we have about 40 seconds here. got to ask you, chris. >> you know, look, is anybody surprised? >> no. >> like why should we be surprised. >> no, no one is surprised. >> i don't think it means anything. when something happens that you anticipated happening, it doesn't make any difference. he's going to run. everyone knew he was going to run. he can't miss the attention any more than he does, and he's going to run. >> yvette, does it make a difference? in about 20 seconds is joe biden the best guy to go against him? >> you know, anybody over trump, i think. i think anybody over trump. >> anybody over trump could win? >> anybody, anybody. i think joe biden has to recover from this year. i mean, his approval rating has jum
