MISTAKES AND I'M SURE NOBODY IS THRILLED ABOUT TODAY, SO WE GO TO BILL HEMMER, COANCHOR OF "AMERICA'S NEWSROOM" ON FOX NEWS. WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT ABOUT SANDRA? PUT OUT A BOLO. >> HI, LARRY. LARRY: WHAT IS UP, I HAVE TO WRITE ANYTHING. BILL HEMMER WILL GO TO THE BOARD SHOW US THE ELECTION MAP. HE DOES IT BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE BUSINESS. I THINK HE WILL STICK AROUND WHILE WE HAVE SANDRA SMITH, IF SOMEONE WOULD LEAVE THE NAME AND TITLES UP ON THIS THING, I KNOW SHE DOES "AMERICA REPORTS," THERE IT IS, COANCHOR OF "AMERICA REPORTS." >> HI, LARRY. LARRY: HELLO. BILL HEMMER? >> YES, SIR? LARRY: I BOTCHED THIS ENOUGH ALREADY. TURN THE WHOLE STORY TO YOU. >> YOU'RE GOOD, I WANT TO TELL YOU A STORY WHERE WE THINK, WHERE WE THINK THE ELECTION IS RIGHT NOW. I WILL START IN THE HOUSE. JUST GO THROUGH A BUNCH OF RACES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I WILL START HERE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. IF YOU TALK TO REPUBLICANS OVER THE PAST MONTH THEY REALLY BELIEVE, LARRY, THAT SEAN PATRICK MALONEY, HEAD OF DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE IS IN TROUBLE. THEY THINK THEY HAVE INTERNAL POLL SHOWS THEIR GUY UP. IS THAT TRUE? I DON'T KNOW. BUT THESE ARE THE KEY RACES, LARRY IN NEW YORK. THERE IS ONE TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX OF THEM ON THIS PAGE. OTHER PAGE, ONE, TWO, THREE, 11 RACES IN NEW YORK. YESTERDAY YOU HAD A POLL FROM QUINNIPIAC THAT SUGGESTED LEE ZELDIN THE REPUBLICAN IS WITHIN FOUR POINTS OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL. IS THAT TRUE? I DON'T KNOW, IF IT IS, THAT IS CLOSE TO BEING TRUE ON ELECTION NIGHT YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF THESE KEY RACES IN THE NEW YORK FLIP. THAT IS WHERE YOU GET THE ARGUMENT ABOUT SEAN PATRICK MALONEY BEING CHALLENGED BY MIKE LAWLER OF REPUBLICAN. DISTRICT NORTH OF CITY, HUDSON VALLEY, NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. KEEP THIS IN MIND. I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE RIGHT. WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE RIGHT, LARRY, BUT IF THEY ARE A LOT OF THESE RACES IN NEW YORK ARE GOING TO CHANGE. NOW TO THE MONEY. THERE IS A LOT BEING SPENT, ESPECIALLY ON THE SENATE SIDE. RIGHT NOW TALKING ABOUT THE HOUSE. SHOW YOU TWO RACES. ONE IN MICHIGAN. THIS IS LANSING, MICHIGAN, CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 7. IT HAS NEW LINES NOW. ALYSSA SLOTKIN IS THE DEMOCRAT, RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION. SHE IS CHALLENGED BY A REPUBLICAN NAMED TOM BARRICK? YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY IN THE DISTRICT ALONE, HOUSE SEAT? $27 MILLION BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES. SLOTKIN AFTER THE LINES WERE DRAWN AS A LESS FAVORABLE DISTRICT. THERE WILL BE REALLY TOUGH RACE HERE. ABORTION IS ON THE BALLOT WITH THE REFERENDUM IN MICHIGAN AS WELL. REMEMBER WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE MONEY, 27 MILLION. COME OUT TO NEVADA, THE STORY OUT THERE IS THE ECONOMY, IT IS INFLATION, IT IS GAS PRICES. LAS VEGAS IS DOWN RE. THIS IS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 3. SUZIE LEE IS THE DEMOCRAT TRYING TO WIN RE-ELECTION AGAINST APRIL BECKER. SHE WAS ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL AN HOUR AGO. WHAT ARE THE TOPICS THERE? IT IS GAS PRICES. IT IS INFLATION. THE ECONOMY, ALL OF THAT. THIS RIGHT NOW IT IS RAZOR TIGHT RACE. IT WE THINK A TRUE TOSSUP. ARE THE ISSUES GOING TO PREVAIL? IF THEY DO REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE A VERY GOOD NIGHT IN PLACES LIKE NEVADA I SHOWED YOU. FOURTH POINT, THE TEXAS BORDER WITH MEXICO. WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF OPEN BORDERS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS? HOW DO PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT IT? IMMIGRATION, WE'VE BEEN WATCHING IT FOR SOMETIME. WHAT WE SAW TWO YEARS AGO, LET ME DRAW IT UP HERE, SEE ALL THE BLUE DOWN HERE, LARRY ALONG THE MEXICO BORDER. THERE ARE SPOTS OF RED THAT YOU SAW EMERGE. THAT IS WHEN THE REPUBLICAN PARE THOUGHT WE GOT A CHANCE AT CAPTURING HISPANICS AND LATINOS. HOW REAL IS THAT? YOU HAVE THREE RACES THAT ARE CONSIDERED TOSSUPS ALONG THE BORDER WITH MEXICO. THAT IS MAYRA FLORES. BEING CHALLENGED BY VINCENTE GONZALEZ. SHE WON A SPECIAL ELECTION COUPLE MONTHS AGO. THIS IS TEXAS DISTRICT 15, MONICA DELA CRUZ WILL WIN THAT DISTRICT. DRAWN MORE FAVOR BRING FOR REPUBLICANS. MAYBE YOU'RE UP TO RIGHT NOW, TEXAS 23 IS HELD BY REPUBLICAN. LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY SAFE SEAT. THIS IS THE OTHER ONE DOWN THERE. THIS IS TEXAS 28. HENRY CUELLAR THE LAST PRO-LIFE DEMOCRAT IN CONGRESS TODAY BEING CHALLENGED BY CASSIE GARCIA. CAN HE WIN? IT WILL BE REALLY CLOSE. LARRY, BASED ON THE RESULTS DOWN HERE ALONG THE BORDER AREA ARE THE REPUBLICANS RIGHT WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR ARGUMENT THEY ARE A TRUE DRAW FOR THE HISPANIC POPULATION IN AMERICA? IF THEY CAN PROVE THAT, KATY-BAR-THE-DOOR BECAUSE POLITICS IN AMERICA COULD CHANGE IF THERE IS A TRUE SWITCH AMONG THAT POPULATION IN AMERICA. HERE IS WHAT WE BELIEVE RIGHT NOW ON THE HOUSE SIDE. REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE UPWARDS 232 SEATS. COULD GO A LOT HIGHER. COULD GO 240. COULD, COULD. THAT IS WHAT WE THINK RIGHT NOW. ON THE SENATE SIDE, WE'RE PRETTY SURE 47 DEMOCRATIC SEATS, WE'RE PRETTY SURE ABOUT 49 REPUBLICAN SEATS. THERE ARE FOUR TOSSUP SEATS IN THE MIDDLE THAT ARE UP FOR ARGUMENT. I WILL SHOW YOU THOSE ON THIS NIFTY LITTLE GRAPHIC RIGHT HERE. ALL THE STATES THAT YOU SEE IN GOLD WE BELIEVE ARE LEGITIMATE TOSSUPS, NEVADA, ARIZONA, PENNSYLVANIA, GEORGIA. THERE COULD BE OTHERS. WE'LL FIND OUT ON ELECTION NIGHT OR MAYBE DAYS AFTER THAT. THOSE ARE THE FOUR YOU FINE BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF THE SENATE. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AS OF TODAY, 20 DAYS OUT. LARRY: BILL, FABULOUS, TOTALLY FABULOUS. SANDRA, DO WE WANT HIM ON SET? >> COME ON OVER, BILL. COME ON OVER. LARRY: THE GUY IS GOOD-LOOKING. WE NEED TO BE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. >> I LOVE THE WHAT IF SCENARIO IN THE SENATE. THAT IS AMAZING. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE STATES, DOES NOT HAVE INFLATION, ECONOMY, GAS PRICES, CAN SAY THAT ABOUT EVERY UNITED STAY RIGHT NOW. LARRY: I CRUSADE EVERY NIGHT, WINNING ISSUE ON INFLATION, THE GOP HAS TO DO FRANKLY ALMOST NOTHING MORE THAN SLAM BIG SPENDING DEMOCRAT OPPONENTS ON THE INFLATION QUESTION. THAT IS WHAT EVERYBODY POLL SHOWS. RASMUSSEN SHOWS THAT, "THE NEW YORK TIMES" SHOWS THAT, ALL THE POLLS, "Q-POLL" SHOWS THAT, BUT, BUT, YOU MAKE SOME GOOD POINTS. ON THE EDGES YOUR BORDER POINTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND THE GOP EFFORT TO PICK OFF, TO WIN LATINA HISPANIC VOTES, THAT IS AN ISSUE. WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT, DO WE? >> I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT SOME OF THOSE WHO ARE REALLY DIALED INTO THIS ISSUE IS THEY BELIEVE THIS IS A GROUP OF AMERICANS THAT ARE UP FOR GRABS, ALL RIGHT? SO IF YOU THINKING ABOUT FAMILY, THINKING ABOUT MONEY AND THINKING ABOUT INFLATION, WELL, THEY ARE THERE FOR THE PICKING. LISTENING TO YOUR MONOLOGUE, I GREW UP IN OHIO, SANDRA GREW UP IN ILLINOIS, IN OHIO WE HEAT OUR HOMES WITH ELECTRICITY. IN THE NORTHEAST YOU HEAT YOUR HOMES WITH HEATING OIL. THE GUY LITERALLY COPS TO YOUR HOUSE WITH A TRUCK AND FILLS IT UP FROM THE OUTSIDE OR WHEREVER YOUR HEATING OIL CONTAINER IS LOCATED. I NEVER KNEW THAT UNTIL I MOVED HERE AND, I TELL YOU WHAT, IF YOU'RE TALKING TO 28% INCREASE ON THAT BIG OLD BARREL SITTING IN YOUR BASEMENT. >> YEP. LARRY: BRUTAL. >> THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. >> I HAD ON HEAD OF HEATING OIL COMPANIES ON OUR SHOW, LARRY. I WROTE DOWN VERBATIM. I'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS 26 YEARS, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE WILL SURVIVE THIS WINTER. HE TALKS TO HIS CUSTOMERS EVERY DAY, OFFERING PAYMENT PLANS TO THEM. SOME OF THEM ARE CHOOSING TO PAY FOR THEIR BILLS NOW ON CREDIT CARDS WHICH, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, WITH INTEREST RATES GOING SKY-HIGH. HE SAID MY CUSTOMERS ARE NOW CHOOSING BETWEEN FOOD, PAYING THEIR MORTGAGES AND HEATING THEIR HOMES. HE IS PREDICTING FORECLOSURES AS A RESULT OF THIS. BY THE WAY, HEATING I WILL IS UP. NATURAL GAS TO YOUR POINT, HALF OF U.S. HOUSEHOLDS USE THAT. IT IS UP 28% THIS YEAR. OKAY? THE AVERAGE HOME HEATING BILL, IF YOU USE NATURAL GAS, $931 THIS WINTER. LARRY: ELECTRICITY, 10%. I THINK THIS IS FROM THE JOURNAL EDITORIAL. LIKE I SAY, I'VE BEEN DOING OTHER THINGS TODAY BUT I THINK THAT IS WAY TOO LOW. >> BECAUSE IT IS ALREADY UP THOUGH. IT IS ALREADY UP. IT IS UP ANOTHER 10% A YEAR. THEY WERE ALREADY PAYING RECORD PRICES LAST YEAR. THE AVERAGE ELECTRIC BILL TO HEAT YOUR HOME THIS YEAR WILL BE $1400. LARRY: THAT ASSUMES YOU CAN GET ELECTRICITY. WE TALKED LONG AND HARD ABOUT CALIFORNIA. YOU SHOULD BUY YOUR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CAR, YOU CAN'T RECHARGE IT. WHY CAN'T YOU RECHARGE IT? NO ELECTRICITY? NO ELECTRICITY BECAUSE NO NATURAL GAS. I WOULD SNEAK THAT IN. I RAN INTO THE KID LAST NIGHT. I SPOKE AT A GROUP ANY WAY, YOUNG LAWLER THAT MIGHT BEAT PATRICK MALONEY. I CALL HIM PATRICK HENRY BUT HE IS NO PATRICK HENRY. I WAS INTERESTING IN TIFFANY SMILY IN WASHINGTON. SCORING IT AS BLUE. THAT IS PROBABLY RIGHT. COOK REPORT, CHARLIE COOK IS PAL OF MINE, HE MOVED IT FROM LIKE TOTALLY 1000% DEMOCRAT TO LEANING DEMOCRAT. I WAS INTERESTED. SHE IS COMING ON THE SHOW LATER. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT RACE? >> SHE IS A FASCINATING WOMAN. HER HUSBAND WAS HIT WITH AN IED IN IRAQ AND BLINDED HIM. HE IS THE FIRST AND ONLY U.S. ARMY SOLDIER WHO WENT BACK TO FULL SERVICE AS A BLIND SOLDIER. LARRY: HUH. >> SHE IS RAISING THREE KIDS. SHE FLIES TO WALTER REED MEDICAL CENTER. SHE SAYS I NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING. I'M TAKING ON THE U.S. ARMY. I'M DOING IT ON BEHALF OF MY HUSBAND. THEY HAVE THREE KIDS. AS SHE EXPLAINS IT. I HAD THREE TODDLERS AND A BLIND SOLDIER. WE'RE HOPSCOTCHING ALL OVER AMERICA TO EVERY DIFFERENT ARMY BASE DURING THE WAR ON TERROR HER HUSBAND'S DEPLOYMENTS AT THAT POINT AND AFTER THAT. HE WROTE A BOOK CALLED HOPE UNSEEN. HE'S AN AMAZING MAN. SHE IS ABOUT AS NATURAL AS YOU CAN FIND WHEN IT COMES TO BEING ON VERY UNNATURAL THINGS LIKE TELEVISION. SHE IS SUPER NORMAL. AND REALLY HAS, YOU KNOW THE HEART OF GOLD. AND SHE, LISTEN, REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP REALLY LIKES HER. YOU WILL FIND OUT IF YOU HAVEN'T MET HER YET WHY THEY ARE SO BIG ON HER. LARRY: HAD HER ON ONCE, DID VERY WELL. WILL REFINE IT. >> QUESTION ABOUT WASHINGTON STATE. LARRY: THAT IS A TOUGH ONE. >> PATTY MURRAY HAS BEEN IN THE OFFICE SINCE 1992? LARRY: NO SHE HASN'T. SHE HALFS BEEN IN THE OFFICE SINCE 1817. COME ON, FESS UP. SHE HAS VOTED SINCE 11FOR HE HAVE FEDERAL SPENDING BILL THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS UNFORTUNATELY PASSED, EVERYONE. >> PATTY MURRAY WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE NORTHERN SUBURBS OF SEATTLE. HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN REPORTING ON PROBLEMS IN SEATTLE? >> THERE YOU GO. >> FOR YEARS? >> FOR YEARS AT LEAST. IF THEY'RE GETTING SAME ATTENTION THAT WE GIVE SEATTLE, DON'T YOU THINK FOLKS WANT TO SAY WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? IS THAT THE WAY WE WANT TO LIVE? LARRY: THEY ELECTED A REPUBLICAN PROSECUTOR. IT WAS LIKE THE SOVIET COUNCIL RUNNING DOWNTOWN SEATTLE. SANDRA, LET ME JUMP SHIP A LITTLE BIT. BIDEN OUT YESTERDAY, I GUESS, HE IS STILL MAKING THE MISTAKE HE MADE FROM DAY ONE, OKAY. THEY BELIEVE, DEMOCRATS, BIDEN DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THE ISSUES ARE ABORTION AND TRUMP MAGA SEMIFASCISM WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. EVERY SINGLE POLL, REASON I'M SO BULLISH AND OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE CAVALRY -- >> TELLS THEM THEY'RE WRONG. LARRY: THAT THEY'RE COMPLETELY WRONG. IT IS INFLATION, ECONOMY. ACTUALLY EVEN MUCH MORE THAN CRIME THOUGH I CERTAINLY CONCEDE AROUND THE EDGES CRIME IS A BIG ISSUE IN NEW YORK STATE. >> CAN YOU IMAGINE A MOMENT WHERE GAS PRICES ARE UP 61% UNDER THIS PRESIDENCY, THAT THE PRESIDENT TOOK TO THE PODIUM TODAY TO DELIVER MESSAGE 20 DAYS FROM ELECTION DAY? CAN YOU BELIEVE HIS SOLUTION TO TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING FOR THIS TO DEMONIZE THE OIL COMPANIES? LARRY: IT IS THEIR FAULT. >> LIVING IN A FREE MARKET CAPITALIST SOCIETY WHERE SINCE DOES GOVERNMENT DINGER TATE PRIVATE BUSINESS HOW THEY INVEST THEIR MONEY THAT WAS REMARKABLE MOMENT. LARRY: IT IS THEIR FAULT BECAUSE THEY'RE ASLEEP. THEY DON'T REALLY WANT TO PRODUCE OIL AND GAS. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THEY'RE IN REVOLT. >> WHAT I WOULD ADD ON THAT, I ALWAYS BELIEVED ELECTIONS HAVE A WAY OF CRYSTALLIZING THE THOUGHT, RIGHT? WE CAN DO THIS BIG BUILDUP FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS BUT ON NOVEMBER 9th WE'LL LOOK AT THE RESULTS SAY, OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE. THAT'S OBVIOUS. I THINK THAT WILL BE THE CASE HERE. QUESTION THEN BECOMES, IF BARACK OBAMA WAS HAND AD SHELLACKING IN 2010 THEY LOST 63 HOUSE SEATS, HOW MANY DO YOU LOSE THIS TIME? I DON'T KNOW THAT ANSWER BUT I WOULD ASK THOSE IN WASHINGTON WHO COVER THESE STORIES DO THEY BELIEVE THIS ADMINISTRATION IS CAPABLE OF MAKING A PIVOT? DO THEY REALLY HAVE THE DESIRE -- >> THEY WOULD HAVE DONE THAT BY NOW BECAUSE THE MARGINS OF VICTORY ARE SHRINKING. LARRY: IT IS ALSO TRUE WHAT KELLYANNE SAID LAST NIGHT, REMEMBER, THE REPUBLICANS GAVE THEM A SHELLACKING IN THE HOUSE LAST TIME. THAT WAS IN THE BANK. THIS IS GOING TO COME ON TOP OF THAT. SO YOU'RE GOING TO WIND UP, 70, 80 NEW REPUBLICAN HOUSE MEMBERS FOR THE TWO ELECTIONS WHICH IS POWERFUL STUFF. I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WHETHER BIDEN PIVOTS OR NOT. WHETHER HE IS SMART ENOUGH. I DON'T THINK HE IS A BILL CLINTON. WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE, THE ISSUES HERE ARE INFLATION, ECONOMY, RECESSION. THEY ARE NOT ABORTION. THEY ARE NOT DONALD TRUMP AND MAGA. THEY ARE NOT, I'M SORRY. THE DEMOCRATS KNEW THAT, SANDRA, I GIVE YOU THE LAST WORD, THEIR WHOLE CAMPAIGN WAS NOTHING BUT A DISTRACTION IT DIDN'T WORK. >> BLOOMBERG HEADLINE SAID IT ALL, THERE ARE MORE AND MORE AMERICANS HE HAVE DAY SEEKING SECOND AND THIRD JOBS JUST TO PAY FOR THIS INFLATION. THAT IS REAL TANGIBLE STUFF, THAT PEOPLE AT HOME ARE FEELING. THEY HAVE WILL TAKE THAT TO THE BALLOT BOX. LARRY: I HAVE TO GO. PRODUCERS WILL KILL US. SCREAMING. >> HEMMER. LARRY: SANDRA SMITH, BILL HEMMER. YOU ARE TOTALLY FABULOUS. SANDRA ON "AMERICA REPORTS
