"the news with shepard smith." and good evening could a single debate in a

single state determine which party controls the united states senate it could with just 13 days to go until election day, that is the critical question after last night's senate debate in the commonwealth of pennsylvania democrat john fetterman and the republican mehmet oz faced off for the first and only time and it was different fetterman suffered with his speech showing the effects of the stroke he suffered five months ago when the moderator repeatedly asked if he would release his health records, he opted not to. >> i've been very transparent about the fact that i've been open, i'm using captioning the real doctors, they all believe i'm ready to be served. >> i didn't hear you say you would release your full medical records. why not? you have 30 seconds. >> my doctor believes i'm fit to be serving and that's where i believe where i'm standing. >> translate, no records

meanwhile mehmet oz added them an attack ad on a platter. he turned them into a 30-second spot >> this is who dr. oz wants in charge of women's health care decisions. >> i want women, doctors, local political leaders. local political leaders. local political leaders. >> oz would like politicians like doug mastery an know ban aboriton without exceptions. >> that was quick, right most likely voters in pa had already made up their mind 90% said they were sure who would get their vote only 9% said their minds might change cnbc's senior congressional correspondent ylan mui tracked the event. >> reporter: even fetterman's campaign is not trying to claim they won the debate.

they are trying to capitalize on it his office said they raised $2 million since last night they plan to use the money to help pay for the attack ad that you just played. oz has plenty of material to work with as well, like this exchange when the moderators asked fetterman to explain his apparent flip flopping on fracking. >> mr. oz, i want to clarify something. you're saying tonight you support fracking, that you've always supported fraging the 2018 interview you said i don't support fracking at all. how do you support the two >> i -- i -- i do support fracking and i don't -- i don't -- i support fracking and i stand -- and i do support fracking >> reporter: fetterman's campaign laid some of the stumbling on the closed captioning system. he said it was riddled with errors that next star pointed

the finger right back and accused fetterman of only going to one of the two rehearse alls. know each committed to backing their party's presumptive nominees fetterman got behind biden and today the candidates are back in their respective comfort zones oz appeared with nikki haley where he slammed fetterman as soft on crime. meanwhile, fetterman will be at a get out the vote rally in pittsburgh with the dave mathews band shep, there's not much time to make their pitch. >> thanks very much. let's turn to kevin madden kevin, thanks so much. very few undecided voters left in pennsylvania but if you get all of that 9%, that could be a thing. i mean, could last night have done that or no? >> absolutely. this race could be decided by, you know, a couple -- 10,000

voters that are still undecided. you know, if you're an undecided voter, you haven't been yet persuaded by the avalanche of ads you've seen. you haven't yet been persuaded by some of the media coverage that's been nonstop around the state so you're looking at a debate that's your probably best last chance to compare the candidates so one of the difficult things for the fetterman campaign when you have as lopsided a debate performance as this, oz coming out as the clear winner and in many cases fetterman having a hard time demonstrating any command on many of the issues that really matter, it really could make a big difference in this race. a race that's only going to be decided by about 1 or 2%. >> of course, fetterman did try to make the oz abortion line stick. he already has that ad out is that a play that lands really beyond pennsylvania? >> look, it's really outside -- if you're looking where that ad's going to probably have the most impact, it's the suburban

women voters that have a swing voter profile in the state the other thing if you look at this tactically, when you have a debate performance that was as poor as fetterman had, the number one thing have you to do is change the conversation change the subject put the -- go on the attack against your opponent. so this ad, you know, with the money that he's raised today, is really going to be one of the last best chances that fetterman has to really reverse some of the momentum that oz has picked up as a result of this debate. >> you know, in nearly all of these debates there are those questions about former president trump. here's one exchange last night from the gubernatorial debate in new york. >> is donald trump a great president? >> i worked closely with him on -- >> yes or no yes or no? >> he's allowed to have a minute like you. >> you don't get a yes or no on that congressman zeldin didn't answer he rattled on about the accomplishments in the trump years. you wonder, are these democrats doing the right thing with that? or are they looking forward to some future time in a democrat's

dream where there's bars and chains what is this >> yeah, totally they're convinced that the profile of donald trump is toxic. inside the suburban areas. nassau county, even some of the counties, collared counties, upstate metropolitan areas like syracuse, they're convinced that's the way you make the -- you put your opponent on defense if you're republican zeldin and others have been very adept at focusing on the big picture. it's a mid term decided less by donald trump's profile in the suburbs and defined by the kitchen table issues economy, inflation that's what's going to drive the vote. >> kevin madden as always, appreciate ya. >> great to be with you. another woman has come forward now, another one against

her shell walker 1993 herschel walker, the gop's anti-abortion candidate in georgia's crucial senate race, he's the -- he's calling the latest accusation a lie and foolis foolishness. he went on to fox news. >> we have to address the elephant in the room today, and that is another accuser has come forward. how do you respond to na >> well, that's a lie and i've said that's a lie. i hope people can see right now that raphael warnock and the left will do whatever they can to win this seat back. >> you're saying you don't know this person? >> what i'm saying, this is a lie and i have said it once and i moved on my cam pin, my campaign moved on. >> this latest accuser did not show her face or reveal her name but today she did speak at a news conference. the woman said she had an affair with herschel walker in the late '80s and early '90s.

claimed she became pregnant. walker gave her money for an abortion when she got to the clinic she got too emotional and backed out. >> when i told her shell what had happened, he was upset and said that he was going to go back with me to the clinic the next day for me to have an abortion he then drove me to the clinic the following day, and waited for hours in the parking lot until i came out he pressured me to have an abortion and personally ensured that it occurred by driving me to the clinic and paying for it. >> well, the accuser's attorney is gloria allred she showed greeting cards and pictures this latest accuser told "the daily beast" and "new york times" that her shell walker pressured her to get an abortion, urged her to get a

second abortion and she refused and had that child herschel walker also repeatedly denied those claims. as the nmid-terms clear, they're worried about the process. investigating lots of reports of stroet er -- voter intimidatin they said vigilantes, their word, were seen loitering around ballot boxes. >> reporter: amid complaints of armed masked groups wearing tactical gear and recording voters, a sheriff has stepped up security at balance loss boxes. >> it troubles me others feel okay to act out in criminal threats trying to undermine democracy under this cloak of patriotism and in doing so what they're doing is they're

destroying the most important institution in our nation, the freedom and right to vote. >> reporter: his office is investigating this incident captured on cell phone video where a woman tried to take a picture of one of their license plates and was pushed. we spoke with the woman. she asked us not to use her name or show her face for fear of backlash. >> a lot of people are intimidating when people are standing around with handguns on them and sometimes tactical gear, you know, it really does scare the average person. >> reporter: at least six complaints of alleged voter intimidation here have now been referred to a state attorney general's office and the department of justice. across the country election threats are ramping up ahead of the mid-terms. >> a lot of these are fueled by mis and disinformation. >> the justice department has an obligation to guarantee a free and fair vote. >> reporter: back in arizona, republican election officials

are calling these armed drop box watchers uninformed vigilantes >> it's been an interesting last two years and for the party of facts and logic at times we have fallen short in my estimation on facts and logic. >> for the news, i'm gabe gutierrez. the man who drove his suv through the christmas parade will spend his life in prison. >> we the jury find the defendant, darryl e. brooks, guilty. >> the killer kept his head down resting on his hands for much of the verdict. he murdered six people including an 8-year-old boy and hurt dozens of others when he sped through that christmas parade in waukesha nearly a year ago tyler pudliner, he spoke after the verdict today. >> it's been a difficult thing

i know this this at this will g us healing this is another step we've been resilient one of the things i've said we're stronger than him and it's been proven today. >> the trial lasted four weeks, became erratic at times. he dismissed his public defenders and chose to represent himself. he argued wet judge and she removed him time and again at one point the convicted man tried to get the case dismissed. the judge has not set a sentencing date but the killer faces a mandatory life sentence for each of the six homicide convictions. mortgage rates go up, demand for mortgages goes down. the next line is normally home prices go down, but, no, not this time. in our strange current whack normal what's a home seeker to do i'll ask the ceo of redfin when

demand to refinance, unsurprisingly that's even worse. those applications down more than 80% from the same time last year who would, with historically low interest rates just behind us, and now rates topping 7% well, you'd think home prices would dive, right? of course they haven't according to the s&p core logic kay schiller home price index, prices in july were up more than 15% compared to the same time last year when they were crazy high in august they were still up but just a smidge less up 13%, which is actually the biggest monthly drop since the index launched 35 years ago. glen kehlman is with us now, the ceo of redfin. glen's waiving and thanks for joining us according to new data, the number of sellers that dropped their selling price quadrupled are these people that had unrealistic list prices for what the market is now or are you

that happening it's really hard to -- >> mortgage banker's association does. >> ukraine, gas prices and all the rest. >> no, i hear you. that is what the mortgage bankers association put and i was surprised myself >> right it's just a very unpredictable time the fed doesn't really have control of the situation it's the inflation numbers that are driving the whole market so it just really depends on whether consumers keep spending and whether gas prices remain high. >> inventory so low. when we read that, we were like, okay, if rates do retreat, won't buyers just get off the sideline and jump back in aren't we back to square one and first-timers still locked out? >> i don't know if we'll go all the way back to square one, but i do think there's some demand that's waiting on the sidelines. you have millennials coming of home buying age so there's a demographic bump then there's also the pandemic
