Hillary Clinton and First lady Michelle Obama appealing to the women's vote in the campaign and on the trail yesterday, watch.
CLINTON: I wish I didn't have to say this. But indeed, dignity and respect for women and girls is also on the ballot in this election. I want to thank our First Lady for her eloquent, powerful defense of that basic value.
MICHELLE OBAMA, FIRST LADY, US: We want our president who values and honors women. Who teaches our daughters and our sons that women are full and equal human beings worthy deserving of love and respect.
BARTIROMO: Joining me now, the co-host of the "The Five," Dana Perino with us. Dana, good to see you.
DANA PERINO, CO-HOST OF THE FIVE: Hi.
BARTIROMO: Thank you so much for joining us.
PERINO: Thanks for having me.
BARTIROMO: (CROSSTALK) new FOX polls show Clinton is leading Trump 48-38 among women voters. How do you see it?
PERINO: Well, he's doing a little better than Romney and Regan if that actually is the case. Romney I think won - lost by 20. And I think lost a little bit more. So - but still, losing by 10 is not good. And actually that's in the FOX poll. FOX poll is actually pretty good for Trump in this sampling because he was only down by three where as the four are even down by seven.
So - and actually, in ABC, Washington Post poll just came out and has the race down to four. So, that's probably where things are. Between three and six at this time and then you see Trump on the attack for these last several days.
The other thing is, Maria, remember, 53 percent of the electorate is women. Then of that, 31 percent is single women. That could be either younger women who haven't married yet or divorced or widowed. So, there are a lot of women in this. But actually, in this election, I think it's turning not as much on gender as it is socio-economic status. So, educational attainment is what you see further device. And I think that's where in the future in 2020, 2024, you're going to see that continue, unless we can do some things to deal with.
What you're going to talk about with Rebook in terms of what happens to the labor force if this technology continues to bring us great products but also push out a lot of jobs.
BARTIROMO: Isn't that interesting? 53 percent of the electorate. What can he do to move the needle on that?
PERINO: I think - again, if you look - it's more about socio-economic status. It's how can a Republican President, my policies. What can they do for your family or for you, as individual.
Do you remember when the Obama campaign came out with "The Life of Julia," and it was all about how the government can help you through every step of your life? And as conservative, that sounded like "That's ridiculous."
But then, I realized, when you look at those numbers, it speaks to a lot of people. And so, I think that there's got to be some changing in terms of how you look at things. One of the things that Ivanka Trump brought to the table was, "What are we going to do about Paid Maternity Leave?"
BARTIROMO: Right. (INAUDIBLE)
PERINO: Yeah. (INAUDIBLE) so, there are ways that conservatives can address those issues. It's a little bit trickier because typically, you want smaller government if you are conservative but women are going to change the face of a lot of this.
LEE CARTER: I've also heard, you know, seen some polling that national security is more important to women than it is to men. Which is really - and he does pretty well on this. I mean, he's - right now, he's a little bit down on the polls, but for most part, people feel like he might be the one that's going to make him safer.
BARTIROMO: Especially when it comes with the refugee crisis?
PERINO: Kind of. Except for that - if elections - Presidential elections mean about character and temperament, that's where he does not do as well.
CARTER: Oh, yes.
PERINO: And so, as national security, yes, it's your concern. But if you're worried about temperament, if that's your bigger concern , it's in the watch. But - so, I do think that we're in a race that's between three and six points with her in the lead. You've got 10 days left, she even has her own staff in those e-mails talking about how ridiculous it was that - for her to have a private e-mail server. She's taking a hit on credibility.
But then, I think you also have to look at the states. So where is she - how is she doing in Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania. I guess, Real Clear Politics moved Pennsylvania to a toss-up.
DAGEN MCDOWELL: I couldn't believe that.
CARTER: I couldn't believe any of that.
MCDOWELL: Yes. I saw that yesterday.
PERINO: So, you have that. But then you have early voting in those states. The Florida and, certainly, Virginia looking very good for Hillary Clinton. But Donald Trump holding his own in Ohio and Georgia.
CARTER: So, we're seeing record numbers of undecideds right now. And a lot of undecided seem to be Republicans who are having trouble voting for Trump. At the end of the day, what do you think happens to those -
MCDOWELL: But I'll point that - before you answer that, I'll point that out though. In the latest FOX News poll, he had 81 percent of GOP voters. She had 83 percent of democratic voters. So, he was very close to her level of support among his own party members. And it's a vast improvement over where those numbers were. Even - like, say during the summer, even after the convention.
And if he can pick them up - pick up a few more percentage points from those GOP voters, and get him to that 90 percent, that speaks volume.
PERINO: I think it's hard at this point to get to 90 percent. I mean, the last 10 days. I think what you're going to have is people - yes, there are undecideds to the point where they're just - I think it's partly because both of them have such high unfavorables that you're, sort of, like, "I don't really want to vote for either of these people." But maybe they'll make up a decision in the last weekends going into the election.
MICHAEL JONES: Impulse.
PERINO: Yes.
JONES: Dana, you are talking about the socio-economic divide. Because I've been traveling the country. The thing I've been noticing is this kind of a city-town divide.
PERINO: Yes. Rural and cities.
JONES: Yes. Cities have done very very well --
PERINO: And certainly coastal and rural there was one map I saw where we saw the blue states coming down the coast, sort of, like this and red all in the middle. The thing is, there's just not that much population in the middle. So, the popular vote isn't as important as the electoral (college) which is why our (founding fathers) were so brilliant.
BARTIROMO: So, I mean, final question. I don't want to get you a book which is fabulous. And congrats on that.
PERINO: Thanks.
BARTIROMO: In terms of the electoral college. I mean, obviously, she is leading in the electoral college. She --
PERINO: Well, all - and all democrats do. And that's when the frustration of my (INAUDIBLE) like explains the conservatives. Democrats just because of demographics and the way things are in terms of how many states Obama won, they start with about 242 electoral votes.
So, getting the 270 is so much easier for them than it is for Republicans. And because Republicans need win a disproportionate number of independents, he's got a lot of work to do. I think that that five to six points, if she's up in terms of that average, I think you'd just probably see that reflected in electoral college.
MCDOWELL: And I just can't - if the votes go the way that we speak, because we're talking about cities versus small towns, if you look at Southern Virginia and, like, Northern Virginia -
PERINO: Northern Virginia.
MCDOWELL: -- and then Southern Virginia. You have half the state. Not in population but certainly in land mass. And these people feel, like, that they're - they've been disenfranchised. That they're completely ignored by politicians -
PERINO: It destroyed the economies of (cold) country. And no one's going to be able to live in cold countries because they can't support their families anymore.
JONES: It's also these foreign communities have became factory counts and they've lost their factory.
PERINO: Yes.
BARTIROMO: You just released a new book. It's called "Let Me Tell You About Jasper." Why did you decide to publish a book about America's dog?
PERINO: You mean in the middle of an election?
BARTIROMO: Your best friend, Jasper.
[LAUGHTER]
PERINO: But you know, we -
BARTIROMO: Jasper's gorgeous.
PERINO: Jasper is gorgeous and he is fun. And I actually questioned the timing of it. Well, who's going to want to be interested in a book about a dog at election time? And my publisher said, "Believe me. People are going to need a little bit of a lift." I don't think he's America's dog in terms of being the number one dog. But it's because of social media and the show here at FOX called "The Five," Jasper became, kind of, a thing.
But it's a way for people to connect with each other. Before the segment got started, we all talked about our dogs. What kind of treats do you give your dog? Maria gives her dog string beans. I never even knew you could do that. And that's why your dog is so healthy.
BARTIROMO: Ella Bella, yes.
PERINO: I don't know if Jasper is going to want to go to string beans.
BARTIROMO: Try it. Will you try it for me?
MCDOWELL: I have known Jasper since you got him.
PERINO: He's a little pumpkin head.
MCDOWELL: As a little ball of fur.
PERINO: Yes. I brought him to "The Five" when he was nine weeks old. So, it's been a fun labor of love.
BARTIROMO: I was just flipping through some of the pictures. The book features photoshopped pictures of Jasper. A various (INAUDIBLE) situation.
PERINO: Yes.
BARTIROMO: Today is the 130th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty . So, this picture frome the book seems appropriate.
PERINO: Oh, that is nice birthday.
PERINO: That looks like a lot of fun to paint those images.
CARTER: I met this - and I met these artist through Twitter. One of the best things about Twitter was, I met him. He was anonymous. I mean, who he is but he wants to remain anonymous. He's exceedingly humble, but what a talented guy.
BARTIROMO: What great images. Well, because you did such a great job with your cell phone, we made one for my dog too.
CARTER: Oh, she's cute.
BARTIROMO: That's amazing.
(CROSSTALK)
PERINO: That just - that illustrates that Ella Bella needs to be wearinf a tiara or crown all the time.
BARTIROMO: That could be your had known jasper since your Halloween costume.
CARTER: There you.
BARTIROMO: Naivete. I'll think about it. (CROSSTALK)
PERINO: Thanks for having me. (INAUDIBLE)
(CROSSTALK)
BARTIROMO: Dana Perino, get the bag. "Let me tell you about Jasper. " Coming up. The World Series headed to the windy city which you'll expect from game three. A preview live from Wrigley Field. Coming up next. And then kicking up job pros how Rebook is using 3D technology to bring jobs back home to the USA. Back in a minute.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BARTIROMO: Welcome back. Well, the World Series moving on to Chicago. The Cubs and the Indians are tied one game a piece and priced for tickets are heating up just as much as the series. Our own Jeff Locke, live right now in Wrigley Field for the latest before Game 3 tonight. Jeff, good morning.
JEFF LOCKE: Not just at Wrigley field but in the dugout. This is where the Cubs are going to be sitting tonight. Pretty incredible. This is, like, you know, if I was the coach, I called in a bullpen on this phone. (Got to roll this Chapman app) there you go. The replay phone too. It was a challenge of a ruling on the field but take a look at this, Maria.
A friendly confine. I know you threw out the first ball here one day long ago. Who knew that we were going to have a World Series and a friendly confine? Look, that's the ivy out there. Usually by this time of year Cubs aren't playing. (The night that it) usually play is only green. Now, it's starting to wilt because - since the fall. Pretty incredible.
Take a look at the work out here on the yesterday. Big story of the series. Kyle Schwarber, the young guy who missed the whole season just about three games. Got hurt. Came back has been the star of the series. They found out yesterday he will not be able to play in the field. He was a designated hitter in Game 1 and 2. Hit pretty well but unfortunately, his knee has not recovered enough to play in the field. So, he will be relegated the pinch hitting duties. This is by the - where you stand when you're in the index circle. Pretty amazing stuff.
Talk about tickets. Prices for tickets here in Chicago, incredible. This is stub hub. This is tickets actually sold. You know, there's some tickets on there you see $50,000, they don't actually sell them for that. The highest ticket so far, $19,000. Pretty incredible. And if you compare that with what you can get in ticket for in Cleveland, no offense to our friends in Cleveland but this is a rarity. World Series Game, the last one was played here October 8th, 1945. And the Cubs won in 12 innings. 8 to 7 I think was the final score. Wish you here.
BARTIROMO: And there you go. That's why the prices are where they are.
LOCKE: I tell you. If you're a long suffering Cubs fan, you got money to spend, why would you not do it?
BARTIROMO: Yes.
LOCKE: It's the most incredible experience of your life. So, you know, who needs another car, whatever.
BARTIROMO: I'm feeling - I'm feeling it. I got you Jeff. Because, I mean, you seem very excited to be at Wrigley Fields and it is in (start).
LOCKE: I am.
JONES: My super cheap (CROSSTALK) officers in Chicago right now. Long suffering Cubs fan trying to get a ticket on the shuttle bus to the rental cars. A guy had 8 Cubs tickets and he was flashing them around.
BARTIROMO: Oh, God. In your face.
JONES: He said it was almost - yes. Everybody was, like, looking each other and said, "Can we jump in?"
BARTIROMO: Oh, God. Jeff Locke, thank you my friend. We'll see you later. Coming up, printing job growth? How Rebook's new way of making sneakers is bringing manufacturing jobs back to America. That's next. Back in a moment.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BARTIROMO: Welcome back. Hey, this is a great story. Rebook breaks the mold. Traditional shoe making has gone unchanged for decades. Every shoe from every brand is created using molds and almost all sneakers are made in Asia to save on labor cost. That's the situation today. But Reebok is rethinking the process. It's introducing the, quote, "liquid factory" which literally draw shoes in three dimensions. The end result? $189.50 cents, running shoe called :"Liquid Speed" that is designed and assembled right here in the USA by removing the use of traditional molds. Liquid factory aims to cut shoe-making cost, improve Speed's market, and create jobs in America.
Joining me right now, the man who is spearheading this operation, head of Rebook Future and former NASA engineer, Bill McInnes. Bill, good to see you.
BILL MCINNES, HEAD, REBOOK: Good to see you. Thanks.
BARTIROMO: Thank you so much for joining us. Tell us about it. We've got the sneakers on the table here. 3D printing is part of it. Tell us more about Rebook's Liquid Factory.
MCINNES: Sure. So, Liquid Factory is Rebook's initiative to get out of the mold business as you said at the front. Every shoe that's out there right now uses molds. Art shoes. Everybody else on the market.' There's molds to make the out sole, molds to make the mid sole, molds to make components in the upper as well.
BARTIROMO: OK.
MCINNES: The problem with molds is they're really expensive all by themselves. They take a lot of time to create. And they also involve a lot of labor and shipping cost as well. OK? So, we're chasing inexpensive labor, that's why 99 percent of the product is in Asia today.
BARTIROMO: And it's interesting. What do you gain by bringing home the manufacturing capabilities to the U.S.?
MCINNES: So, the biggest gain is getting much closer to the consumer. The younger consumer and that's who we're targeting. The 5th gen consumers. 18 to 22 years old. They're moving at lightning speed. So moving the whole process closer allows us to basically turn product around in weeks as opposed to months.
BARTIROMO: How is it done?
MCINNES: So, the inspiration actually came from the automotive industry. OK? So, we weren't in the big shiny factories where the cars are being made but in a subcontract (wreck).
BARTIROMO: Right.
MCINNES: And we found this vent. And this is a simple piece of vent that fits into a door of a truck. We're not so interested in the black part, we're interested in this red gasket that runs around the bottom. OK? So, that gasket used to be molded and then glued in place just like our footwear is molded and then glued in place. But now an industrial robot comes in and actually draws that gasket with a liquid urethane right in place.
There's no molds, no adhesives, no anything. So, we use that as our jumping off point. If this draws in two-dimensions, we wanted to teach that industrial robot how to draw in three-dimensions. This is 3D drawing which is our extension of 3D printing.
BARTIROMO: That's incredible.
MCINNES: OK?
BARTIROMO: So, what does that do for the sneaker?
MCINNES: So -
BARTIROMO: The drawing of the mold and then - tell me about that.
MCINNES: So, the beauty of urethane is it's a hugely versatile material. So, you can make it really firm and responsive like a skateboard wheel, really soft and cushioned like memory foam or anything in between.
BARTIROMO: OK. Yes, it feels really soft.
MCINNES: Yes. So, you can dial in almost down to the individual shoe exactly how somebody likes it. So when you get closer to the consumer and you're drawing things and not taking months to open up molds, you can make changes in days and hours even as opposed to months.
BARTIROMO: Really cool. So what - tell me more about the division you work for, Rebook Future.
MCINNES: So, the Rebook Future team was put together a couple of years ago. And our focus is pretty much a hundred percent on process. The idea being that if we focused on the way we make things, who we make things with and where we make them, you'll end up with a very different product as a result. And the Liquid Factory is the first example of that.
BARTIROMO: What about - tell me about the benefit of the Liquid Factory.
MCINNES: So, the benefit of the Liquid Factory is we are closer to that consumer. So, we can make changes and small batch manufacturing and really keep up with that consumer. We're going to open our first Liquid Factory in Rhode Island. That starts in Q1 of this coming year. And that allow us to do a lot of prototype thing and small batch manufacturing right here.
BARTIROMO: I guess it also has an impact on the whole industry in the way shoes are made.
MCINNES: Yes, it really does. Again, you've got a whole industry that's been dependent on inexpensive labor for many, many years. And we've watched production move from Japan, believe it or not, over to Korea, from Korea to China and now into Vietnam. But we're basically out of places on this planet to find less expensive labor. We'd really need to innovate to change the game.
BARTIROMO: So, are all Rebook shoes going to be made this way now?
MCINNES: Not all. We're starting small like with any new initiatives. So we'll start small and ramp pup slowly. We've got a huge factory-base that exist already. But long-term, this local for local meeting made in U.S, fro U.S. made in Europe, 4 Europe I think is the path we want to get on.
BARTIROMO: But I mean, you know, a lot of companies would be - would like to be able to say, "Yes, our products are made in the U.S. but the fact is, it's too expensive. " How did you get around that? By having the production made in the U.S. Knowing that it much cheapest in Mexico.
MCINNES: Right. So, the biggest issue is the mold factor. So the molds don't disgust money themselves in time You also have to have inexpensive labor putting material in those molds. Taking material out of those molds and cleaning them by taking that piece out of the mix and going to basically, a higher tech label, or labor. Somebody who's going to program these machines to draw these parts. It's kind of raising the bar of how we make our shoes.
BARTIROMO: I love it. Really cool stuff. Congrats.
MCINNES: Thank you very much.
BARTIROMO: Thank you so much, Bill. Thanks for joining us. Bill McInnes there. Rebook. Still to come, Alec Baldwin gave his brother a shoutout while playing Donald Trump on SNL. We'll talk with Stephen Baldwin about Baldwin family politics and the race to the Whitehouse. Coming up. Next hour with Mornings with Maria. We'll be right back.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: -- the system is rigged and I think the biggest rigging of all is what's happened with the FBI and the Justice Department with all due respect to Hillary Clinton because she is so guilty in so many different ways that she shouldn't even be allowed to run for president.
MICHELLE OBAMA, FIRST LADY: The choice we make between those who divide this country into us versus them and those who tell us to embrace our better angels and choose hope over fear.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BARTIROMO: Meanwhile, new reports this morning say that Vice President Joe Biden could be part of a Clinton administration. Find out which position he may hold, coming up. Making a plan B. Millions of Americans ditching Obamacare as premiums set to skyrocket next year. Could this be a death blow to President Obama's signature legislation? We are taking a closer look this morning and the EpiPen price increases, not only hitting families, the Pentagon reportedly adding millions of dollars to Defense Department's spending. The renewed outrage, coming up. The difference between, popularity and profits, Twitter taking new measures to cut costs by shutting down it's Vine App, we've got the details there, coming up. Meanwhile, Amazon's highflying stock coming back down to earth this morning, stock was down after the company posted, its lowest quarterly profit in a year, a result of higher expenses.
The reach out was however out looked also a disappointment, the stock tumbling ahead of the open, we will bring it to you.
Check Broader markets this morning, Amazon really set the tone, we are expecting a mixed market this morning for the broader averages, NASDAQ under some selling pressure. Right now, flat opening that we are looking for but we do get the GDP report for the third quarter and that will likely set the tone and direction for markets. In Europe, stocks are searching for direction as well. Take a look at the major averages there with the most of the Eurozone in the seas, trading lower. In Asia, overnight, mixed performances to show you, as you see there the NEKKEI averaging in Japan, the one winner, on the up side by two thirds of one percent.

JONES: I couldn't believe the line --
BARTIROMO: A close call for Vice President nominee, Mike Pence, meanwhile, at New York's LaGuardia airport last night. Where his plane skid off a rainy runway last night. Thankfully, governor Pence, everyone on board are fine but it was a scary moment. Passengers on board said that the plane made a bumpy approach then hit the runway hard before screeching to a halt on some grass. Concrete safety barriers stopped the plane from rolling any further. Police evacuated Pence along with the other 48 passengers and crew members on the plane. We will take a look at this after where the Indiana governor tweeted, "So thankful everyone on our plane is safe. Grateful for our first responders and the concern and prayers of so many, back on the trail tomorrow. " Donald Trump also expressed relief for his running mate.
