cheese sandwich, we are going to make it on fox nation in two nights. >> and the family photos, and the anecdotes, read it and eat all the recipes. i can't wait to try the iowa caucus casserole. >> that's delicious. peter helped me with that. >> everyone, grab this book, it's amazing, steve doocy did a wonderful job. now here is "america reports." >> john: kayleigh, thank you. chicago mayor lightfoot sparking outrage for sending migrants out of the city and into a republican neighborhood. >> sandra: the neighbor of the town is firing back. he says lightfoot is using migrants as political pawns and his town is not a sanctuary city. he will be here in just moments to react. >> worry about the inflation number, sir? >> no, i'm not, we are talking

about 1/10 of 1%, and anyway -- thank you. >> we begin with president biden brushing off august inflation report insisting the economy is still strong despite high prices hammering families nationwide. hello, happy wednesday. john roberts in washington. hi, sandra. >> sandra: sandra smith in new york. comments after the dow plunged 1200 points in yesterday's trading session following the higher than expected inflation number, and it does mark the worst day on wall street since covid shutdowns began june 2020. >> john: biden is back on the road in the motor city of detroit celebrating millions in spending on electric vehicles. >> sandra: not everyone is praising the move. ford confirms thousands of layoffs in its shift to go electric. >> john: we have team coverage, in new hampshire after a couple big primary races there, winner

of one, and peter doocy is live on the north lawn to kick us off. peter. >> peter: and ahead of some remarks by president biden promoting electric vehicles, we have been watching the feed as he checks a couple of them out. >> 0 to 60 in three seconds. 0 to 60 in three seconds. my corvette is 5.2 seconds. three seconds. an three and a half, but who is counting. >> who's counting. >> does it have a launch button? >> the president's attitude there, not reflecting any stress or concern about a worst than expected inflation report or about yesterday's massive 1200 point drop in the dow. the>> the stock market doesn't necessarily reflect the state of the economy as you well know, and the economy is still strong, unemployment is low, jobs are up, manufacturing is good, so i think it's -- i think we are going to be fine. >> peter: that represents a major disconnect from what

lawmakers say is going on in their states. >> many iowans have taken on second jobs for a little additional income to support their families. food costs have gone up, we see energy costs ratcheting up, and i'm afraid that once winter rolls around heating expenses are going to be through the roof, and so i hear about inflation and the effects on our families every single day in iowa. >> peter: inflation reduction act celebrated yesterday is mostly a mechanism for climate spending, but despite the emphasis on climate, president biden took motorcades and a jumbo jet to delaware to vote. >> so every american as you know has sacred and constitutional right to vote. the president exercised that right alongside other people in delaware last night. the president has a heavy schedule, he's the president of the united states. worked out best for him to vote

yesterday, to vote on tuesday. >> the reason there are questions where it worked out best to vote yesterday because he was in delaware saturday. he could have done it then or by mail and if anybody knows how great mail-in ballots are, it's president biden. he encouraged to vote by mail in 2020, said it was safe and he won. >> john: that cost at least $200,000 to do that, right? >> 177,000 in air just for the ride from the u.s. military. but how much is a stamp now? is it close? is it -- >> john: probably will be. >> sandra: democrats got what they wanted in new hampshire, will it backfire after a sweep by maga republican candidates in granite state primaries. concord, new hampshire, a lot of dramatic races we have been watching. what's the latest, hillary?

>> sandra, in the last hour fox has called two primaries here in new hampshire. the first in the 2nd congressional district, robert burns beat out a moderate republican mayor george hahnzel. in new hampshire, senate primary, fox can call the race for retired army general don buldoc beat out chuck morris. he believed morris had a better shot at beating him. >> we have taken their arrows. we have successfully protected ourselves. you sent the biggest signal to the establishment tonight. >> already gearing up for the general election and bringing abortion to the center of it,

saying in a statement if buldoc had his way in the senate he would vote to ban abortion nationwide. he's too extreme for new hampshire but buldoc is already debunking the claim. >> i will support no legislation, 0 legislation at the federal level. we don't belong in the abortion arena, that is the state's. and this state will do the right thing by granite staters. >> why do you think she keeps pushing the abortion issue? >> it's the only thing she's got. >> sandra, but even though bolduc has been clear, he thinks it should remain at the state level, not stopping senator hasen for putting out an ad campaigning on just that. >> sandra: thank you very much. very good reporting.

caroline leavitt will join us next hour, she won the primary for the congressional district 1 in new hampshire. another really exciting race there, 25 years old, we'll have her join us and ask her if she believes that she can beat the democratic incumbent in her state. >> john: that district ripe for a turnover. she would become the youngest woman in congress ever, wow. president biden hoping his recent legislative wins will resonate with voters ahead of the midterms, just one problem. no one believes the inflation reduction act will help the economy and with inflation coming in hot, many question whether or not he'll be able to turn around with just 55 days to go. marc thiessen, former white house speech writer under president bush and fox news contributor. the president is at the auto show touting high priced electric vehicles, after holding a big celebration for the inflation reduction act, but inflation as hot as it is, and with nothing that the president has done so far being able to

tame it, and the forecast that the inflation reduction act won't do anything for at least a couple years to bring inflation down, how could he speak about it with any credibility? >> well, it just shows the incompetence of this administration to schedule that party yesterday on the south lawn of the white house. i mean, who schedules a celebration of the inflation reduction act on the day that we learn that inflation was higher than expected, 8.3%, energy prices up 24%, food prices highest since 1979, shelter since 1984, americans are choosing between gas and food and they are having a party on the south lawn of the white house and the real purpose of the bill is not inflation, 85% of the spending is on climate change, and the day that he does that as peter doocy pointed out, he flies a 747 on a ten-minute flight to delaware to cast a ballot when he could have voted absentee or voted on any of the 40% of his presidency he spent

on vacation in delaware, cast an early ballot. so just the incompetence is simply stunning, and if they can't pull something like this off, how can they fix the economy? >> john: peter doocy, we are talking about the cost of that trip, probably at least $200,000, i think would count as one of the most expensive votes, but then didn't even get into the carbon footprint, the vehicles and the airplane back and forth. so what you were talking about the inflation reduction act, did not escape the "new york times," wrote in a headline, sobering inflation report dampens biden's claims of economic progress. the president is trying to accentuate the positives but stubbornly high prices are complicating the message. the party they threw on the south lawn of the white house, it was almost like an economic protemkin village. >> truly it was. and to celebrate the inflation

reduction act, never reduced inflation, no serious economist has said it has reduced inflation, i think it's the penn wharton model said 0 impact on inflation, but here is the thing. to do that after the debt forgiveness that he did for college loans, that wiped out the claim that it would reduce inflation in any way, shape or form is based on deficit reduction. but a week after signing that bill he announces up to a trillion dollars in unpaid for spending on debt forgiveness, which wipes out all of the deficit reduction. so now in the post student loan forgiveness, the inflation reduction act is all spending, no deficit reduction, so all the spending is inflationary, so it's the inflation increase act. because you've -- you can't take it in a vacuum. >> john: that contradiction, and hypocrisy with the president, winner of the primary for the

senate and the gop side in new hampshire, don bolduc, the democrats spent more than he did to try to get him to win this primary and then at the same time the president is decrying the maga republicans as a threat to the nation. here is what a brilliant writer, marc thiessen wrote, if anything threatens the foundations of the republic, a president promises to put his soul into uniting the country but denounces 74 million americans and voted for his opponent as a semi fascist and threat to the country. so much going on here, marc. deconstruct it. >> number one, the president says maga republicans represent a threat to the country, his party has spent $55 million trying to elect maga republicans in primaries in california, in colorado, in new hampshire, across the country because they think they'll be easier to beat. if they are a threat to the country, literally, to our

democracy, you could not do anything to boost them at all. he does not even believe his own rhetoric. he's not just talking about election deniers, he's talking about mainstream republicans. he said anyone who supports the right to life is a maga republican. 70% of the republican party considers itself pro life. every president going back to reagan and both bushes were pro life. so he said anyone who supports tax cuts is a maga republican. ok, that means every pro growth republican, including george w. bush is a maga republican, and anyone who supports social security reform, paul ryan and mitt romney, using it to tar not just election deniers, but all conservatives. >> john: a broad brush even though he denies doing so. we'll see how it plays out now

in november. democrats got their wish in a lot of the districts with the so-called maga republican winning the primary. because they thought they would be easier to beat in november. maybe not. we'll see. >> sandra: caroline leavitt is one of them, she'll be joining us next hour. we'll ask her if she can make the case she can win, despite democrats being happy about candidates like her being able to pull off victory. we'll watch for that. students are back in the classroom in new jersey, new sex education standards. many parents argue is inappropriate for some of the age groups being taught. alexis mcadams is here. republicans say issues like this will be a hot button issue for the midterm elections. what are you hearing? >> definitely a hot button issue, people are fired up about this, and not just parents, and many parents don't want their kids learning about these things in school like gender identity and what pronouns they can use. bob healy, a father running for

congress believe this classroom controversy will drive voters right out to the polls. >> nobody knows better than a parent when it's the right time to talk to their children about these things. and so this is an example of government overreach. >> 2nd graders learning how to express gender and by the end of eighth grade, lessons on the different types of sex. districts have flexibility and can pull the kids out of the classes. >> my parental rights are violated and my children's innocence will soon follow if a change is not made. >> our kids deserve a world class education. when extremists start attacking the schools to drive a wedge between us, we take it personally. the>> the state's largest teachers' union calling parents extremists for speaking up about this. the new jersey assembly gop creating this video. >> we should all agree your kids

belong to us so stop resisting our agenda. >> new jersey gop candidate for congress tom keen will fight for parents who are being silenced as his opponent tweeted earlier this year that politicians are using kids as political pawns. all this as another senator's office not up for re-election thinks topics like this could turn a blue state bright red. >> i think this year and next year we will see closer races in new jersey than what we have seen. >> so far, one passed to keep some out of the classroom, overwhelmingly, in a largely democratic county, sandra. >> sandra: very important stuff there, parents want to know what their kids are being taught in the classroom. thank you very much. john. >> john: halfway around the world, ukrainians celebrating as some towns are liberated from russian control with putin's

invasion facing a stunning setback there. live in ukraine in just moments. >> sandra: prices are still soaring coast to coast, and could be going even higher. but the white house as you saw yesterday, celebrating its recently passed inflation reduction act? so what does all this mean for the future of the economy. our econ panelist here. and phil flynn on the market. >> this is what republicans need to close the last 60 days of this election about. biden inflation. it's only getting worse the more that the biden administration and the democrats in washington spend money and print money, the higher inflation is going to be. with the newday 100 loan, there are no upfront costs for appraisal or termite inspections. no upfront costs at all to get the cash you need. veterans get more at newday.

>> sandra: fox news alert, a live look at the white house as railroad worker union bosses are right now there meeting with the labor secretary marty walsh. began about 9:00 a.m. this morning, they have been there for hours, trying to avert a railroad strike and full shutdown. word one of the unions has rejected the current offer on the table. big news for the american economy. jeff flock reporting live in philadelphia. jeff, i say big news because the country is watching because this strike could, if it happens, put this economy at a standstill, and worse than an already struggling supply chain. >> absolutely, and we are starting to see indications of this. almost chaos at the marine terminal port on the delaware river in philadelphia. trucks racing in to probably

take loads away that would have gone on the rail but they are switching to, the headline at this moment, just got word one of the two remaining unions that have yet to reach an agreement, you know, 12 of them have, or ten of the 12 have, the machinists have just said they reject the latest offer and so they have voted to go ahead with the strike. but i think the headline is this, and i want to read it to you so we make sure everybody understands what we are saying here, it says the agreement has been rejected and the strike authorization vote approved by the machinists has been approved. out of respect for other unions, extension to september 29th at 12:00 p.m. eastern time. that will allow us to continue to negotiate changes with the agreement in the hopes of achieving agreement with our membership and one that they would ratify. that potentially could put this strike off, but we have one

other union that has not been heard from, would they agree to also delay and in that case delay to september 29th, or say we are drawing a line and will strike friday morning the stroke of midnight. that remains to be seen. this is a major development out of d.c. and the last-ditch negotiations to head this off. >> sandra: meeting at the white house began 9:00 a.m. eastern time this morning. so you are talking about four hours and counting that they are meeting with the labor department trying to hash out a deal. some have voted so reject the agreement as the negotiations continue, we are watching it all and will bring the viewers any news from the white house as it comes in and get to you as well. jeff, see you next hour, thank you. john. >> john: sandra, embarrassing

retreat from moscow as russian troops suffer a stunning reversal, fleeing in the northeast and opening the door for ukraine to liberate even more territory. jeff paul is in kyiv, ukraine for us live tonight. jeff, what are you hearing about the new city that was liberated? >> yeah, john, one of the first cities captured by russian forces and now reportedly back in the hands of the ukrainians. we are talking about the city of luhansk, two miles from the russian border and it is joining a growing list of cities and areas and territories now liberated in this latest counter offensive by ukrainian forces. one of the other cities getting a lot of attention is izyum, the kharkiv region. the president, zelenskyy, was just there to survey some of the damage. it's one of the areas still under the threat of russian strikes from afar, which has led to death and power and water outages. he honored the memory of those

who died in the area calling them true heroes who helped liberate their land. >> the view is very shocking, but it's not shock for me, because we -- we began to see the same pictures from occupied territories, so the same, destroyed buildings, killed people. >> there are still a lot of people left in the kharkiv region and cities like izyum trying to repair their communities. constant reminder of the occupation are the left behind russian tanks that now line roads and streets. those soldiers are now on the move, either back across the russian border or further east to the donbas and we are also learning, john, from the mayor just outside of zaporizhzhia, he's reporting the counter offensive down south, it is moving slower is pushing russian soldiers back to crimea, and

this is important because it would cut off a crucial supply from the south to the east among russian forces. john. >> john: waiting to see if and how putin responds to all of this. jeff paul for us in kyiv tonight. jeff, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: a big selloff on wall street into the final minutes of trading. worst day for the american stock market in years. the report almost guaranteeing the fed will have to raise interest rates once again in an every -- effort to cool things off. what does it mean for families? thanks to both of you for being here. so, douglas, to you first on this. everybody is looking at the implications for the broader economy. you see this red hot inflation report come in, you see the passing of this, you know, inflation reduction act by the

president, he celebrated that fact at the white house yesterday. but will we eventually see the sky high prices come down? it's only so long that american families can ride out this storm. >> well certainly they know the inflation reduction act did not do anything for inflation and won't do anything for it. they have already lived through the august experience that showed food, energy and shelter, which are half of their budget, up about ten and a half raise. 50% of the things they have to pay, so every time they go to the store or gas station they see that and feel the pain already. they are worried about this and it shows up in the reaction. they are now moving to cheaper options everywhere they can. i think the real concern in the report for the american family is the shelter part. shelter inflation was 6.2%, up from 5.7 the month before. and you know, you don't get your rent changed every month. you sign a lease for a year, so

this does not change quickly, and that's inflation that's going to last, and that's a third of the budget. so they have real pain and the kind of pain that does not go away quickly. >> sandra: the rent discussion here, you walk around a building in midtown manhattan and people who work and live in the city, it's probably the top thing that's you can at thatted about at the water cooler. people's rents continue to go up, despite the struggles to pay for groceries. wall street journal headline reminds me of what douglas said, phil, about the change behavior of the american consumer, buying what you need and not what you want. the wall street journal had this piece, inflation infighting, honey, do we really need those pine nuts? couples are trying to p ut a lid on grocery bills, pointing fingers at each other over coca-cola, chocolate bars, jalapeno potato chips.

it's a real thing. change behaviors to adapt to high prices. >> what do you think is going to happen around the christmas holiday? even coal is through the roof. santa claus can't even put coal in the stocking. and you know, i mean, when you talk about the housing issue, the other thing in that report that was bothering me is even if you can afford the rent, can you afford to keep the lights on. we saw the cost of electricity go up, what, 15.1% month over month. that was the biggest jump since 1981. so, listen, there are serious issues with the inflation and you know, the thing yesterday, the reason why the market was so shot, the whisper number was you know, maybe it's not that bad, might get a seven print because gasoline prices have come down and you know, that was going to give us a boost and maybe inflation has peaked, but now we are seeing signs that the break in the cost of energy may be

short lived and might see a big price spike later in the year. even the biden administration is worrying about another december price spike. so you know, i think that's why the market's on guard right now. ppi was somewhat, a little better news but it's still showing that inflation is way too high. >> sandra: the white house seems to like to tout that gas prices are coming down, which they are, and we hope that continues to happen, although for the best possible reasons raising supply rather than demand because people can't afford it. you are reminded where gas prices were when this president took office, 2.39 an office, today 3.70, and talking about a hefty increase from where things were. i know both of you well and i know that you are optimist, and the fed is tasked with bringing down inflation. can it happen and how long will it take, douglas? >> well, i think the important thing to remember is that once you let inflation get embedded,

and we certainly have, we have done the $4 trillion worth of spending, you can't make that go away. once it's here, you only have bad choices. fed could do nothing and live with inflation, that's unacceptable, or the fed can raise rates, tighten financial conditions, make it harder to buy a house, a car, any big ticket item, reduce the growth in jobs and raise the unemployment rate. all bad news choices. they are going to try to minimize the bad news they create but they have to slow inflation somehow. >> sandra: i'm out of time. those interest rates, that's what the market is watching, hesitancy to hold on to stocks. >> absolutely. and you look at the curve going out further, looks like it's going to get ugly before it gets better. >> sandra: oh, ok, wa el have to have you back on. i know traders are looking where to put their money. so we'll have you back soon. thank you very much. john.

>> john: sandra, in addition to the economy and inflation and other big election issue, relentless stream of migrants into el paso, city. as our cameras captured images from mexico and hundreds of migrants. as where they will ultimately wind up, the head of the border patrol has admitted they are simply releasing them into the streets. the governor of illinois calling in the national guard to help resettle migrants sent to chicago, we'll speak to a local mayor in moments who says the windy city mayor lightfoot is now bussing them to his town without any proffer of help. but first, bill in eagle pass, texas. what's the city of el paso doing, are city leaders facing any criticism for bussing migrants out of that city? >> bill: no, they are not. el paso is a democrat-run city, and so far no criticism to bussing migrants to new york

city. and el paso is inundated in recent days. el paso, what you are going to see are several hundred migrants who started camping out underneath a bridge, it's not a processing center. all border patrol processing centers in the area are overcapacity, so are ngos. so when the migrants cross, nowhere for them to go, they are starting to camp out once again and this is why the city of el paso says they have had to start doing the busses, border patrol admitting to us they are now having thomas release migrants on the city streets of el paso. cbp saying migrants will be provisionally released near community shelters and bus stations throughout the city of el paso. then bringing it to where we are in eagle pass, more of the same. as soon as the sun came up, yet another single large group of migrants who crossed together, all at the same time, about 200 people. most of them single adults. it was a very busy weekend out

here in the del rio sector. more than 3300 illegal crossings over the weekend as well as 733 known got-aways, that is one weekend, one sector. v.p. kamala harris says the border is secured but yesterday on special report with bret baier, democratic senator joe manchin that's flat out wrong. take a listen. >> it's wrong, she's dead wrong on that. for anybody the vice president, president, anybody to say the borders are secure, that is not accurate. i've been there, it's wrong. >> and john you mentioned of o the top the governor of illinois has issued a disaster declaration and authorization of 75 national guard soldiers because of the migrants texas is bussing to the chicago area. so far, just a little over 500 of them. we see that in about one hour in one single group on some days here in eagle pass. back to you. >> john: curious to see how the

white house responds to senator manchin. bill, thank you. as texas continues to bus migrants to chicago, democratic mayor lightfoot of chicago says they are not staying in the windy city. critics slamming her for dropping off illegal immigrants to another town. so we have lightfoot slamming greg abbott from texas for sending migrants there to chicago and she puts them on busses and sends them out of the city and then after saying she would welcome them to her sanctuary city, she busses them to a hampton inn in your city, which is not in a sanctuary jurisdiction. what are your thoughts about all of this? >> well, i was very, very angry about it. and it's not about the migrants, they are here to seek freedom, we are all products of immigrants, i am one, my grandparents came from italy over 100 years ago. that isn't the issue.

the issue is that they just invite them here to come to the city of chicago state of illinois, we are not a sanctuary village, and then they put them on busses and send them out to our community without us knowing anything about their health status, without their background status, without whether or not there's unaccompanied minors, who is going to provide for them, who is paying the bills, what's the call on our infrastructure. all things that our residents are entitled to know, i'm entitled to know, my board is entitled to know. >> sandra: if you had known, mayor, what would you have done? >> i'm sure if they said they needed to do this, kind of hard to understand, they could not handle 64 people inside the city of chicago which is supposed to be the city of broad shoulders, i would not put them in the middle. we probably would have settled them here and as quickly as possible tried to understand what was going on legally. again, we did not know if they

were legal here, we did find out they are supposedly asylum seekers. i don't know how that distinction is made and what the process is. right now i've been asking about what are their ice dates, i'm a lawyer, i want to know if they are abiding by the rules and regulations because if they don't, then they become illegal. they become illegal, i'm sending them back. but right now they have legal status and i can't do anything more about that except welcome them. we have many residents that are trying to provide food, clothing, you know, again, it's not because of the migrants, they are trying to seek freedom, it's the way this governor in particular, he doubled down, he's calling me a grumbler, he insulted my village, said that we were xenophobic, which is absolutely outrageous. he's running for election, he's now called out the national guard for 500 people that have come to the city of chicago. this is a stunt by the governor

pritzker, governor of privilege as i call him, and by the way, if he's so worried about where he should put them, maybe put them in hyatt hotels and see how the hyatt people react to this. >> john: mr. mayor, you are not the only republican coming in for criticism from democrats. obviously greg abbott, doug ducey of arizona have been criticized by mayor lightfoot, criticized by mayor adams, and bowser from washington, d.c., trying to relief the pressure by shipping them to big cities like that. recently the mayor of el paso sending bus loads of migrants to the city of new york. he just happens to be a democrat and yet he has not come in for the same sort of criticism from eric adams in new york city that abbott and ducey d. is there a double stand here? >> of course there is a double standard. governor abbott, 500 might be coming over in an hour, i'm told

it's 10,000 a week. i applaud senator manchin for saying, you know, what it really is. we have a border crisis so we don't have a secure border. we don't know who is coming across. the fact that someone has gotten asylum label put on them, we don't know their background. we really don't know what the -- what the process is for checking them. governor abbott is trying to do the right thing. after all, it's the democrats that want the border in the condition it's in, it's a little payback and i think it's well deserved. >> sandra: reaction to the governor now declared this emergency disaster proclamation to help the asylum seekers, he says, but says this about you, listen. >> i know that there are some who are grumbling and upset that hotels or motels in their communities are opening their

doors to strangers in need, arguing that they received short notice. well, there are a few local officials who want to play politics around these people's lives. i want to tell you about the kind and generous spirit of many other officials. >> sandra: a lot of accusations there, including accusing you of playing politics with people's lives. your reaction. >> he is the one that is playing politics. he is the one that's running for re-election as governor and we all know that he's going to try to run and try to buy the presidency just like he bought the governorship here in illinois. he's the one declaring an emergency like he's reacting to something -- what is it, governor, is this just providing for migrants or is this a state national disaster in which he's now bringing out the national guard. he's the one that's played politics. i made it very clear from day one my residents made it very clear from day one that this was

not about the migrants. they have been model residents. they are well groomed, they are behaved, it's not about them. they are seeking freedom. it's about coordination, it's about letting us know who is coming into our village, it's about the arrogance of governor privilege just deciding where he's going to send them and he did not send them to hyatt hotels. so, are this is the governor playing politics. >> john: you know, if governor pritzker is declaring an emergency, you can only imagine states like texas, arizona and new mexico are feeling. good to talk to you. some scary scenes coming out of san francisco's homeless crisis. fights breaking out on the streets. now some businesses are willing to take drastic measures until the city finds a solution. >> sandra: the questions about john fetterman's medical history getting louder and louder. how will that shape pennsylvania's hotly contested senate race?

i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100% of your home's value. if you need cash for you family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no... give us a call. don't mind me. i'm just the flu. i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications, like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but, i'm just the flu.” it's him! who? i'm just the flu! fight the flu with sanofi flu vaccines, which help prevent flu in older adults. they've even been shown to provide better protection from flu-related complications

compared to standard dose flu shots. don't get fluzone high-dose quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components, including egg products, or after previous dose of flu vaccine. don't get flublok quadrivalent if you've had a severe allergic reaction to its components. tell your healthcare professional if you've had severe muscle weakness after a flu shot. people with weakened immune systems may have a lower vaccine response. this flu season, you do have a choice. choose the protection of a sanofi flu vaccine. ask your pharmacist or doctor which sanofi flu vaccine is right for you. i left headquarters after hearing a plane hit the world trade center. this can't possibly be an accident. look at the sky. it's beautiful. i had in my mind that this was an attack right away. you saved so many lives that day. where were you when the towers came down? i hear this loud noise. i look up and it was the north tower coming down. and i can just remember the huge antenna imploding into the building. i looked up and i said, i'm not going to outrun this. i dove under an apparatus there on the corner of west and vesey.

awaited the dust cloud. right here. right here. i was in my house in the south tower, came down, and i received a phone call from a firefighter. he said to me, frank, it's really bad down here. i said, i know. and he goes, no, you don't understand. nobody's come home. and i had to get off the phone, tell my three sisters my brothers, that steven wasn't coming home. he ran through the tunnel to the towers. and that's why we started the tunnel to towers foundation. all these men and women have inspired us. every time i'm here at the american response monument that represents the 12 horsemen that rode into afghanistan, they were told, you take this mission, you're not going to come home. true american heroes. they never forgot what happened on september 11th and meeting them when they came home. it just sent chills up my spine because i knew what they went through. we're so proud at the tunnel to towers. for taking care of catastrophically injured service members. gold star families.

well, if you're a fallen first responder anywhere in america and you die in the line of duty, we're going to pay off your mortgage. and if you don't have a home, we're going to build you a home. we got to support our first responders and our military. they support us. they protect us. and we have to protect them and their families. as well. by giving $11 a month. you're joining us on our mission to do good and take care of gold star families. catastrophically injured service members and first responders. go to t2t.org now. ever wonder what everyone's doing on their phones? they're investing with merrill. think miss allen is texting for backup? no she's totally in charge. of her portfolio and daniel g. she's building a greener future and he's... running a pretend restaurant. and phil? phil has questions, but none of them are about his portfolio. digital tools so impressive, your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company.

>> john: ahead of the midterm elections the call is growing louder for release of john fetterman's medical records. philadelphia en kwieerror is the late he have to join in the chorus, as the race between fetterman and dr. mehmet oz heats up. mike emanuel joins us, and also news on the debate front. >> mike: a short time ago, john fetterman agreed to debate dr. oz october 25, 2 weeks before election day, after a drip-drip-drip of media outlets saying it is fair to question fetterman's strength after his fitness, each day that passes says how he was affected by the

stroke, pennsylvania will have a choice about the democratic nominee's health. weighing in on the pennsylvania senate race, that communication is part of being a senator and the editorial page say it's reasonable to ask how well he's able to listen, speak, focus and understand. the republican in this race, dr. oz, has been pushing for multiple debates. >> i'm saying either you are healthy enough to debate, your team says you are healthy and hide the radical ideas on twitter, which you can't do, or lying about your health. either way, we need to know the truth. >> fetterman suffered a stroke in may and did not campaign for three months. even now, he's doing limited campaign appearances. >> who wants me to be the 51st vote? you know what i would do if i

was that 51st vote? first -- filibuster. codify roe. >> discussing, debating, and listening and persuading. latest major publication to raise questions about his fitness for the job. >> john: the argument from the oz campaign is that date is way too close to the election, when -- >> mail-in voting starts this monday. more than a month of voters will be casting votes unless fetterman changes his mind and moves it up. >> sandra: as the biden administration scrambles to avoid a potentially devastating rail strike, nearly 5,000 members of the machinists and aerospace workers district 19 have voted to reject the deal with the national carriers

committee. they will extend talks to september 29th. jay timmons is president and ceo of the national association of manufacturers. your thoughts in this moment, what needs to happen to avoid potential disaster for the american economy, sir. >> well, it is going to be a potential disaster, there is still time to get this resolved but only a few days left. we are grateful the president appointed the presidential emergency board and those members have been working with both business and labor to get an agreement and they have, you know, they have a construct that's available that really frankly needs to be adopted. but if this goes south and we see a strike, it could be devastating for manufacturers, it could be devastating for consumers, and we just need to see this thing get done. >> john: jay, when we think of trains hauling freight, we think of coal, grain as you pointed out, also think of oil, a lot of

it moving from canada down into the you state, the keystone xl pipeline did not get constructed and also a lot of consumer goods after coming into the ports and last year saw all the ships sitting out there on the ports trying to get in and christmas was a bust for a lot of people. what could this do to this christmas season? >> and by the way, that exacerbated inflation, and we can see that all over again. perhaps we are getting inflation under control at this point, so now turn around and do it all over again? and do it to ourselves? that does not make any sense. you mentioned all kinds of commodities that move by rail. here is one to think about. chlorine. we have already got members of the national association of manufacturers who are reporting that they are having halts to shipments. one of those is chlorine, you cannot risk the fact it might sit out there unattended.

what does that mean? for drinking water all across this country could be a problematic, right. do we want boil alerts everywhere across the country like in flint, michigan and down in jackson, mississippi? i don't think so. so we really need to get that under control and this is a compromise, it's a compromise. these negotiations, you know, always compromises. but this is the largest single increase in wages we have ever seen for rail workers. so it's a great deal and frankly the presidential emergency board, they need to, you know, they need to flex a little muscle and if they can't doit, congress has to do it to get it done. >> sandra: it's not all about money, but work conditions, time off, without being penalized for having to go to the doctor, you see the demands that are out there, and for you, because i say it does depend who you ask, what does this boil down to

really? >> of course i don't know all the details of the negotiations but what i can say is this. we have the most pro union president that i've seen in my lifetime. and if president biden appoints this board to work with both sides to negotiate an agreement, i would think it would be pretty favorable to labor and so i agree with secretary walsh, i agree with secretary buttigieg. let's get this done. let's make sure commerce of the united states is not disrupted because of a disagreement that has already been negotiated. seems fairly reasonable to me that the most pro labor administration we have seen in a lifetime probably came up with the deal that frankly the union can live with. >> john: you mentioned congress, the rail companies told them to bud out, between them and the president, what happens to the price of oil and gasoline if all the train loads of canadian oil are no longer running into the

united states and what political liability does president biden have? presidential emergency board can't come to an agreement here. >> i think there is a framework by the peb. will both sides accept that or negotiate something else. either way is fine, get it done. but having said that, you think about all the energy products, and by the way, it's not just fossil fuels and oil and gas, it's also things like wind turbine propellers that you have to ship across the country. so, all forms of energy, which are helping us to keep energy prices low or not let energy prices go higher, perhaps i should say it that way. you are going to see additional increases for consumers, manufacturers, use 30% of the nation's energy supply. the more it costs, the more it

costs in terms of energy input, the more products are going to cost for the consumer, the final cost of the product. so you are just going to see more and more inflation. it's a bad cycle. we can nip this in the bud and frankly need to see the cooperation -- >> sandra: you are giving a lot of credit -- >> 12 unions, nine have said ok. so, come on. let's get this done. >> sandra: ok, so this would be one crisis averted if they do come to a deal and negotiations play out, still meeting at the white house as we speak, but a country still dealing with sky high inflation and the average american consumer is paying for it. and it was arguably talked to a lot of economist, it was avoidable. when inflation was rearing its ugly head and could have done more to prevent it, where do you fall on that? >> well, look, you know.

i represent manufacturers and we are not political beings, we want to see good policy. and over the course of the last 3 or 4 years, we have had trillions of dollars of deficit spending pumped into the economy. we said all along it's going to lead to inflation. what do we need to do to prepare the american people for that, we didn't do it, to your point. there could have been a lot more things done to prepare the american people for what was coming and to make sure we don't impose regulations that are going to increase costs for business, which will add to inflation. we could, perhaps, expedite permitting, something we are talking about doing in the final appropriations bills this year. if we expedite permitting, more sources of energy accessible. you are exactly right. policy matters, it does not matter who is in the white house or in congress, that policy has to be directed to helping business succeed and grow in this country. >> sandra: more spending could make things worse.

good do have you, sorry, we are out of time, hard break at the top of the hour. >> john: time running short. new at 2:00, the white house struggling with midterm messages. the celebrating while americans are struggling. senator rick scott will be here. and a connecticut parent on the woke worksheet given by a high school teacher in his district. and caroline leavitt, and tyrus reacts to the new job for one anchor reasonly -- back to inviting. back to loving. back to life. back to the little bit of jamaica that's inside all of us. come back to being lively again. back to laid back.

back to romantic. come back to the vibe that comes alive. in jamaica.
