Fox News host Brian Kilmeade explained how the nation's political past could provide a clue into what will happen in November's midterm elections on "One Nation."

From the streets to the studio to the subway, wherever I go, people are asking me, "Hey, what’s going to happen in 2022?" I have news for you that you probably don't want to hear: I don't know.
