The Republican Push To Win The Senate

Hey folks, I'm John Rich. Just as wokeness and censorship have subverted the music industry, they've also crushed free expression on social media. Censors have suspended social media users, canceled entire news channels, obliterated online discussion platforms, and even banished a sitting American president.

from big tech platforms. Well, I'm here to say there's a place for you. A place where patriots can speak freely without fearing some unknown unseen speech enforcer that wants to shut you down. That place?

It's called True Social, a free speech social media platform that hosts breaking news, TV streaming channels and powerful commentary on all the issues facing our great nation. Break free of big tech and make your voice heard. Join me on an uncancellable platform where I like to debut my songs and where you can read exclusive commentary from our 45th president, Donald J. Trump.

I'll see you on Truth Social, where freedom lives. Download the Truth Social app or visit truthsocial.com. I'm Maria Bartiromo. I'm Greg Gutfeld. I'm Tammy Bruce. And this is the Fox News Rundown.

Monday, October 28th, 2024. I'm Mike Emanuel. While the presidential race is consuming much of the oxygen in American politics, the majority in the United States Senate is also up for grabs. With Republicans hopeful the next GOP leader will be the majority leader. I think we're on the path right now.

to get to the majority. That's always been the goal. We're joined by Senator Steve Daines, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. I'm Chris Foster. The migrant crisis in New York City is creating its own underground economy. These people are here. They can't get legal permits to work. So they're doing what they can to try to make ends meet. We're speaking with Good Day New York and Fox Nation host Rosanna Scotto.

I'm Andy Puzder. I've got the final word on the Fox News Rundown.

This is the homestretch of the campaign for the presidential nominees. Former President Trump rallied supporters in Austin, Texas, at a joint event with Senator Ted Cruz, blasting Vice President Kamala Harris for the crisis at our southern border. It's just incredible when you look at the numbers. 21 million people, at least, during this three-and-a-half-year period. And many of them, as you know, are murderers, drug dealers, people from jails or prisons.

They're letting their people out of jails and bringing them right into our country. We're like a dumping ground. What Kamala Harris has done on our border is cruel, it's vile, and it's absolutely heartless. The former president also made a stop Sunday night in New York City with a rally at Madison Square Garden, a state that could be vital to Republicans holding the House of Representatives. And I'd like to begin by asking a very simple question.

Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

Overseas, the crisis in the Middle East continues. Vice President Kamala Harris offered this reaction to Israel's military response against Iran. We maintain the importance of supporting Israel's right to defend itself. And we are also very adamant that we must see de-escalation in the region going forward. On the campaign trail, Harris has had help from some big-name Democrats.

That includes former First Lady Michelle Obama making this argument in Battleground, Michigan over the weekend. Do not hand our fates over to the likes of Trump, who knows nothing about us, who has shown deep contempt for us, because a vote for him is a vote against us, against our worth.

Majority control of the Senate is also on the line. Incumbent Senator Ted Cruz is facing a challenge in Texas from Congressman Colin Allred, who is making this argument against the senator. Ted Cruz has been all about himself for too long. Too long. Twelve years is long enough. Everything is bigger in Texas, but Ted Cruz is too small for Texas.

For Republicans to regain the Senate majority, they'll need to hold Cruz's seat and to win back several seats currently held by Democrats. Well, big picture, we need to pick up two seats to get the outright majority. Senator Steve Daines is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. We feel good about where we're headed at this moment as we go into the final stretch.

We've already picked up one seat. That's West Virginia. You can take that one to the bank with Governor Jim Justice, who will soon be Senator Jim Justice from West Virginia. That's one pickup.

The next seat we're excited about is Tim Sheehy's race in Montana. He's taking the lead in the polls over Jon Tester. That would take us to seat number 51. Tim Sheehy consistently is leading outside the margin of error. The early vote numbers look strong right now in Montana, so we've got a real good chance here with Tim Sheehy picking up this seat. That would be number 51.

Then we go to Ohio, where Bernie Marino is looking to unseat Senator Sherrod Brown. That would be number 52. Ohio is a state where President Trump will win by 8 to 10 points.

Bernie Marino's race is tracking very similar to what J.D. Vance did when he won that Senate race in 22. Their numbers are remarkably similar in terms of where they started last spring and into the summer, where they were at in September.

where they're at right now and where they likely finish. And literally Bernie Marino's numbers mirror where J.D. Vance was in 22. So we think the odds are good right now in Ohio. That would take us to 52. And then we've got toss-up races, of course, in places like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. So let's follow the money a bit because at this stage in the campaign, money can tell you a lot about what particular parties are thinking. So to your point about

Montana, there was a headline saying the Republican Super PAC American Crossroads is pulling nearly $3 million out of there. So that's interesting. And then the Senate Leadership Fund is apparently jumping in late trying to swing the Nevada Senate race. That's combat veteran Sam Brown versus incumbent Senator Jackie Rosen. What are you seeing in Nevada?

Well, first, Sam Brown's a great candidate. We always knew this race was going to tighten up. Sam Brown's a graduate of West Point. He was severely burned, nearly killed by the Taliban, by an IED in Afghanistan. He's got a great story. His wife, Amy, is also a veteran.

That race has tightened up and we're not surprised. Sam's a great candidate. We're seeing that race right now as razor thin. The momentum is going in Sam Brown's direction. The momentum is going in President Trump's direction in Nevada as well.

And I think President Trump's numbers and Sam Brown's numbers will start to converge and be very close with Trump likely winning Nevada. That puts Sam Brown in a good position to win as well. That's why you're seeing so much interest now late, particularly with the Senate Leadership Fund, which just put over six million dollars in that race. Let's look at some battlegrounds where presidential candidates are devoting a great deal of time, money and energy. Pennsylvania.

Democrat Senator Bob Casey is the incumbent. How is Republican Dave McCormick performing there?

Well, Dave is doing great. He's running one of the best races in the country. We've watched that race carefully. And again, Dave's another West Point graduate. You know, there's a theme here. You look at Tim Sheehy, Annapolis graduate, Navy SEAL combat mission, Sam Brown, West Point graduate. And then you've got Dave McCormick, a West Point graduate, 82nd Airborne, serving in Iraq.

businessman, native of Pennsylvania. We always knew he was going to close strong in the end, and that's exactly what's happening. We've now seen a couple of polls with McCormick up slightly, like a point or two, but I think we certainly would call it a toss-up, and that's what Click Political does.

also rates that now as a toss-up for the center as they moved that to toss-up earlier this week. So it's going to be a battle to finish. That's a key state for President Trump for the electoral map. He needs to win Pennsylvania. And by Trump winning Pennsylvania, I think that's going to put Dave McCormick in a real strong position to win as well.

All right. What about Battleground, Wisconsin? You've got incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin versus Eric Hovde. Hovde says if he wins, he will donate his entire Senate salary to a Wisconsin charity. How do you see that race?

Well, again, one of our strategies when we began this cycle was to find high-quality candidates. Eric Hubby is yet another example of that. Strong business leader. He's helped so many causes like for the hungry and those lacking housing over his career. Just a great father and grandfather leader.

That race now in Wisconsin is tied. We've seen Hovde up one. It sounds like I'm just repeating each state now, Mike, but that's exactly what's happening in Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania. They've all moved to these tied positions. And I think in Wisconsin, it's a state that's harder to pull some of these Trump voters who don't always engage in polls. Wisconsin's kind of notorious for that, to usually overreact.

overperform where the polls are showing it. So if Hovde right now is in a tied position, maybe up one, I think that votes pretty well by the time we get to Election Day, where those Trump voters are going to show up to vote for President Trump. And while they're there, they're going to vote for Eric Hovde because Eric Hovde is endorsed by President Trump and Eric Hovde will support President Trump's agenda.

Okay, Michigan's another interesting race. Former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers taking on Democrat Congresswoman Alyssa Slotkin seeking to replace the retiring Debbie Stabenow. What about Michigan? Well, sorry to sound like a broken record, Mike, but Michigan is the same story. Mike's also an Army veteran. He served 12 years in the U.S. House and was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, very important back

to have as we look at the threats around the world. Mike Rogers is in a strong position. Again, he was down about three or four or five points over the summer months. That race has now tightened up to a dead heat. The last poll we just got was literally 49-49. You can't get any closer than that.

And again, President Trump seems to have momentum in Michigan as well. I think that's going to help Mike Rogers. Those UAW workers aren't real happy with Slotkin's positions on EV mandates and the Biden administration who seem to be opposed to combustion engines. That doesn't play real well for those auto workers in Michigan. That's why I think Mike Rogers is in a pretty good position right now to win this race.

In Texas, Senator Cruz is facing off against Democrat challenger Colin Allred. Trump appeared last week with Cruz in Austin and Vice President Harris appeared with Allred in Houston. Is that Senate race closer than you would like?

Well, look, the Democrats are spending piles of money to try and beat Ted Cruz. Chuck Schumer needs to find a narrative now that he sees a majority slipping away with Montana and Ohio likely going Republican. He needs to find a way to tell his donors he can save the majority. And so Ted Cruz has become the lightning rod for the left.

He's running a great campaign. Ted Cruz is going to win, but the Democrats are pouring millions of dollars now into Texas. We're keeping a close eye on it. Ted's running a great race, but it's one to keep an eye on. But Ted Cruz is going to win Texas.

Let's talk Maryland, a deep blue state, but you've got the popular former two-term governor Larry Hogan running against Democrat Angela also Brooks. If any Republican can win Maryland, Hogan has proven he can do it. Willie.

Yeah, well, Larry Hogan is in a league of his own in terms of his maverick, independent-type leadership. That's how Larry Hogan was elected as a Republican governor twice in Maryland, which of course is a blue state. He's running a great race. The Democrats are spending millions of dollars every week lying about him.

Larry is holding his own because the people of Maryland know Larry Hogan. He's a known quantity. He has high approval ratings as their former governor, both two terms. Remember, Larry was down 17 points when he ran for governor back in 2014 at this same time, and he won. Larry is known as being a strong closer.

So they're pushing hard right now. He's a great retail-type politician out there shaking a lot of hands, canvassing Maryland. Folks in Maryland know Larry Hogan. They like Larry Hogan. He's got a little tougher hill to climb because Kamala Harris will win Maryland by a significant margin. But Larry Hogan is the kind of Republican, the kind of leader that can be elected by both Democrats and Republicans in a state like Maryland.

Now I know Democrats pretended that Florida was in play going after Rick Scott a bit there. They've also put a lot of money into Nebraska trying to make Senator Deb Fischer a little anxious. How are those two colleagues of yours doing?

I'll start with Florida. Rick Scott is running a great race. He's going to win his re-election. We've kept an eye on Florida as well. But remember, Rick Scott's never lost an election, and that streak will continue here in 24. Florida has become a redder state. DeSantis won his re-elect by 19 points in 22. Rubio by 17 points in 22. So Rick's run a great race. He's in a strong position to win. Nebraska.

She's running against a Bernie Sanders Democrat who claims to be an independent. That's the trick the Democrats played in Nebraska. They cleared the field for this so-called independent to run, but he is a very liberal Bernie Sanders type Democrat. That race was tighter than we liked several weeks ago, but Deb Fischer, with some help from many, in running now a strong race,

Despite the fact the Democrats have dumped millions of dollars propping up this fake independent, she's fighting back. And we now see her with a more comfortable lead, and we're confident Deb Fischer will win re-election.

So with Mitch McConnell leaving leadership after this Congress, the question is who will replace him. And but you sound confident that the next person will be the Senate majority leader. Is that correct? I do. I think we're on the path right now.

to get to the majority. That's always been the goal. I think we're going to get there. He is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Senator Steve Daines. Grateful for your time. Know how busy you are. Thanks so much. Thanks, Mike.

This is Andy Puzder with your Fox News commentary coming up.

The New York City mayor's office says 218,000 migrants have come in since the spring of 2022, and 60,000 are currently in the city's care at a cost of nearly $400 each per day in the shelter system, including things like health care, school enrollment, and legal help.

Even so, most of those migrants need or want more money to live on, maybe send back home or pay back the people that smuggled them here. You are not allowed to leave or they will kill you. New York City Police Chief of Patrol John Schell is part of a documentary streaming on Fox Nation called Underground Economy, exploring the black market created by New York's migrant crisis. The underground economy. If you order food from any of these restaurants or delis, pizza places, you're

Most likely the person who's delivering is not who you think it is on the app. It's hosted by Rosanna Scotto, the co-host of Good Day New York on Fox 5 WMYW. It's probably a migrant. If you go on the subway and you see somebody selling fruit or sadly the children selling candy on the subway, most likely that is a migrant. It has caused a black market, a conflict.

in New York City because these people are here. They can't get legal permits to work, so they're doing what they can to try to make ends meet. Well, that's the thing. I mean, the number of people who came to New York City amount to a decent-sized city on their own, and...

You don't want them on the street. You don't want them to starve. And they can't legally work. So what do you do? So, I mean, tens of thousands of immigrants we've had in our city over the last two years. The mayor made an announcement the other day. We only have 700 this week.

700 is still a lot when you have a city that's bursting at the seams with, you know, hotels being turned into migrant shelters. Let's talk about the shelters. Let's talk about the hotels. I assume there's this perception that, you know, people are coming here to live high on the hog. And yeah, they're getting shelter and they're getting food, but it's not...

an easy life for them or for the people in the surrounding communities. Well, Chris, you know what it's like to work and live in New York City. For those of us who have a good job, for those of us who work two jobs, it's a very tough place to live and raise a family. So now these people are coming here. They have no legal permit to work. So they have free housing.

free food, sometimes gift cards, cell phones, and they also have schooling for their kids. And in some cases, they have free attorneys to help them get through the process. It's still not enough. I think, what did they say, how much a week...

for the gift card with food was not... I don't know how you find food for a family of four in New York City with that kind of gift card. Yeah, but you end up coming to New York because as hard as it can be and as expensive as it can be, there's no infrastructure at all for you and probably no services in a small town in the South.

It's a tough place to live. And as you know, those of us who were born here and want to continue living here, it's tough. But this documentary that's now on Fox Nation really kind of highlights what each kind of immigrant group is doing, what the Venezuelans are doing, what the El Salvadors are doing. Literally everybody has a very specific job.

targeted income and how they go about it. It's funny that we talk about the immigrants when they're very, they're distinct little groups that stay distinct for the most part. They do. They stay with their own groups. One thing that's happening right now, sadly, the Roosevelt Hotel has been infiltrated by a New Venezuelan gang.

And we had Chief of Police on our show on Good Day New York the other morning. And he talked about that they're recruiting kids to go out there and commit crimes in Times Square. And I'm talking about robbing, stealing, you name it. And some of these kids are 8 and 11 years old.

And they've been through the system several times. And because New York is a sanctuary city and we've gotten all these bail reforms, these kids are just basically in and out with no repercussions. Yeah. I mean, it sounds like slumdog millionaire stuff, but it's happening to kids in big cities in America, too. Kids come here with no one. There's not the resources to take care of them and make sure that, you know, they're getting to school. I assume there's some sort of

vague supervision, right? What do they do with these kids? Who's watching them? That is a good question. The other day, the city council held a hearing because apparently New York has the third highest amount of unaccompanied young people living here. I don't know. How are these kids going to school? For all we know, they're not going to school.

They're in Times Square stealing and robbing because, you know, the cartels have basically hired them to do their dirty work. What do people say about are things back home so bad or is the perception that things are so good here that you can make it interesting? Then we talked to a number of migrants.

And I said, would you have come to New York City if we did not give you free shelter and blah, blah, blah, everything free? And she said, no. Of course not. All of them said no when asked. The free shelter is a big deal. And New York City, on top of that, not only free shelter, but you come here, you can commit a crime and you're not in trouble because we're Sanctuary City, right? So the police don't have to notify ICE to deport you if you've committed a crime.

talk about the coyotes and how that whole system work and how some people pay their way to get here and some get not an insubstantial amount of money that some people spend a lot of money just to get here.

Figuring they'll make it back down the road, I guess. Or again, that they're just fleeing something. But then they're stuck. They're almost in this sort of indentured servitude. And some of that involves crime. And I have to say, that is part of our documentary, The Underground Economy. They come here, most likely they owe someone. And it's usually a few thousand dollars.

So when they come here, how are they going to pay back these guys? These guys want to be paid back. At least see some show of faith, right? So that's why, you know, they then are some of the people that are accused of being on mopeds, stealing cell phones. There was this great big group of people who were...

hired by this coyote to go and steal cell phones. And when they get the cell phones, they take your information, they break into your bank account, and then they go out and sell the cell phone. So this is their way of kind of paying back these coyotes. And it's always very dangerous jobs. Talk about the moped gangs. Is that still a thing? It's still a thing. Maybe we should talk about it less, or maybe I'm just hearing less about it. But

People literally just ride around on e-bikes or mopeds and snatch stuff. In every community, jewelry, bags, and cell phones. Cell phones are a hot commodity. I assume somebody's giving them those bikes.

So what we've learned is they can rent the bikes for $100 to $300 a month. And as you may notice, some of those bikes have no license plate on them. So it's hard to find out who those bikes are. And sometimes these people share bikes. So, I mean, they know how to work the system pretty well and how they can get by. We know the numbers are down now from what they were.

The people here are still the people here. And like you said, 700 people is not... Chump change. Chump change, yeah. Yeah, right. Especially when you have a system that's already overtaxed. Right. Now, the policy... The barn door is long open. Policy or not, Joe Biden ran on a policy of being softer on immigration, more welcoming, more humane, I guess they would call it. And...

whether or not people were able to legally get here any easier, there was certainly a perception that, oh, I guess it's okay to come now. And that had to contribute to the numbers. I think a lot of people will tell you who've come to this country that they felt it was, you know, a welcome mat with the Biden administration. In fact, the New York Times just did a big story about how the Biden administration had a very welcoming approach to the migrants. In fact, there have been more migrants coming

that have come into this country during the Biden administration compared to Trump, three times the amount of when Trump was in office, three times. And as you know, the vice president, Harris, she was questioned by Brett Baier about the administration's policy. She tried to blame Trump.

And Brett Baier kind of steered her back to how, you know, the president undid some of the policies that Trump had put in place. And then, you know, the doors opened. You've been in New York.

Your whole life, right? Yeah. I mean, I've kind of worked other places. Yeah. But give or take most of my life. Yeah. And I've been here for more than half of mine, I guess now. And forget the numbers. Throw that out. Talk about just the vibes and what the city feels like now compared to like the bad old days of crack in 1989. Okay. So maybe it doesn't feel quite as bad as those days. Yeah.

But it's still bad enough. Like when you walk the streets, you see so many homeless people. You see so many mentally ill people. Now, I'm not blaming that on the Biden administration because that happened during our former mayor, de Blasio, who during COVID decided he was going to open up the hospitals and basically tell every mentally ill person to go have a good time on the streets of New York. And so they're now on the streets of New York. And where are you going to put them? Right.

When you bring them in, now we have social workers going out there cajoling them to please, you know, we'll find a bed for you. Where are you going to put them? They don't have enough beds. One thing I like about this documentary is that it's not like boogeyman immigrants. No, it's not. It really does get into...

the tragedy of it for everybody involved. It's sad. I mean, it's sad to see these young kids who are on the subways, you know, selling candy to try to help their family or maybe, I don't know, maybe they're trying to help themselves stay alive in New York City. Is this really what we've come to? The real reason I asked you here was not to talk about this documentary, but it was to talk about Ransom

And your brief appearance just before. It was a pivotal appearance. It was a pivotal appearance. Thank you. This is my point. You set up one of my favorite scenes, one of my favorite monologues in movie history. I fired it up again last night and I still get the chills. You got any stories? Yes. So Mel Gibson starred in the movie. It took a lot of takes for him to get that monologue. It was a very emotional monologue.

And, as you know, we were part of that pivotal scene. My co-host at the time was Tony Potts. And so we had taken a break so that, you know, Mel could kind of like get back into character. And then we couldn't find Tony.

Where was Tony? And Tony left his mic on. He was in the bathroom. And everybody now knew Tony was in the bathroom. We got a play-by-play until Tony came back on the set and then we finished the scene. Did that, I assume that may have, did that screw up the tension of the scene at all or was it a welcome relief? No, I think it was a welcome relief. Okay. Rosanna Scotto, host of Good Day New York on Fox 5 in New York, the host of The Underground Economy, available right now streaming on Fox Nation. Rosanna, good to talk to you. Thank you so much, Chris.

Here's a look at the week ahead. Monday, not much time left for campaigning. Former President Trump will be in Wisconsin, while former President Obama will join Bruce Springsteen on the campaign trail at a rally for Vice President Harris in Philadelphia.

Tuesday, a trial begins in Nebraska on the effort to challenge the two medical marijuana measures being voted on. Early voting has already begun in the state, and the measures are already on the ballot. Thursday, Happy Halloween. The origins of the haunted holiday under dispute. One theory claims it comes from Celtic pagan harvest festivals. Another says it came from the early Christian church as a celebration of All Hallows' Eve.

Friday, open enrollment begins for health care under the Affordable Care Act. Applying for coverage for 2025 or making any changes can be done at healthcare.gov. It's also Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. It was also the focus of an episode of the American adaptation of The Office TV show. And that's a look at your week ahead on Tom Graham Fox News.

What's on your mind? Leave it to MSNBC to ferret out, quote, the biggest difference between Trump's and Harris's economic pitches, close quote. According to a recent MSNBC opinion piece with that title, quote, Trump is obsessed with the macroeconomics

big picture, 10,000 foot view of the economy, while Harris offers a, quote, microeconomic pitch, close quote, with specific policies to improve America's economic circumstances. Respectfully, the piece does not make the point its author thought he was making.

Particularly in this election, no one should criticize a presidential candidate as obsessed with addressing macroeconomic issues such as inflation, wages, interest rates, economic growth, and the deficit. The Biden-Harris administration's failure to effectively address these very issues resulted in massive inflation, declining real wages, stifling interest rates, a surging federal deficit, and an almost incomprehensibly large national debt.

American voters will likely insist that the next president have a better plan to address those issues. And there's the rub. Harris doesn't have one.

She has unabashedly praised the current plan, a failed big government hodgepodge of massive spending and increased regulatory pressure called Bidenomics. Lacking an effective macroeconomic plan, Harris has opted for targeted policies designed to assuage voter groups Biden-Harris economic policies have harmed. That's the so-called microeconomic pitch.

Feel like grocery store prices are too high with inflation up over 20%? Harris will attack non-existent price gouging to show she cares. Can't afford that new home with interest rates triple what they were when she took office? Harris will give you $25,000 to ease the pain.

Are you trying to support yourself and your parents in the inflation ridden Biden Harris economy? Harris will expand Medicare to reduce that pain. Even left leaning economists, media outlets and campaign surrogates have criticized many of these policies as political pandering gimmicks, unrealistic or simply bad economics. And they are.

But the real problem is not with a particular policy's merits or demerits. The problem is that Harris has no consistent economy-wide, that is, macroeconomic plan. Rather, like the little Dutch boy, Harris's approach is to put her finger in the economic dam to assuage specific suffering voter groups, hoping that the macroeconomic dam doesn't break, at least not before the election. MSNBC did get one thing right.

Trump is obsessed with macroeconomic issues. His plan is to spur economic growth by cutting taxes, slashing growth-killing regulations, and incentivizing domestic energy production, including fossil fuels. It's a plan that will improve the overall economy, benefiting all Americans regardless of their income, race, or sex, as it did in his first term. To paraphrase President Kennedy, "A rising economic tide lifts all boats."

Trump has a rising economic plan. Harris does not. We've had nearly four years of economic frustration and pain due to the Biden-Harris administration's failed economic policies. As the MSNBC piece inadvertently points out, Trump has a macroeconomic plan for that. Harris does not.

This is Andy Puzder, and I have a new book coming out in January, which I hope you'll read, A Tyranny for the Good of Its Victims, The Ugly Truth About Stakeholder Capitalism.
