everywhere kellyanne: at the grocery store, gas pump and your ability to pay the rent and feel your kids are being taught curriculum that comports with what they should be taught in school. >> dana: and of coerring the senate race, what it will take to win over the votes of suburban women, what do the ladies want, rich? >> good morning, dana and bill, polling his north carolina one of the closest in the country. budd and beaceley. republicans have focused on the kitchen table issues like inflation, gas prices and education. issues republicans say will bring them to the polls this year. >> you know, just going to the grocery store, we have a family

of eight and spending $500 three years ago, two years ago would have gotten us three weeks worth of food, it's gone in six days because value of what we're able to get for prices are literally suffocating us. >> focus on education, which played major role last year in glenn youngkin's campaign in virginia. supreme court decision overturning roe v. wade has made it an issue, democrats are campaigning on that, 20% of women would say abortion will motivate them this midterm followed by inflation and economy at 16%, a seat republicans are defending. burr is retiring and former president trump travels to north carolina tomorrow to help budd's campaign, holding a rally in wilmington. >> dana: pay attention to north

carolina, as well. >> bill: education shapes up to be a key issue, john fetterman is billing himself as advocate for public schools, but new report finds he failed to pay taxes on time to his local school district when he was a mayor. here is the story from new york. >> brian: good morning, john fetterman says he will go to washington and fight for public schools to receive more funding. according to the washington free beacon, john fetterman failed to pay $18,000 in property taxes between 2006 to 2019, money that would have gone to funding his local school district, which is one of the poorest and lowest performing in the state. woodland hills placed three dozen tax liens against fetterman during that stretch and he was sued twice. he paid off the liens issue but

it took six years. in 2016, john fetterman says some taxes were not paid because of clerical errors, here is his opponent mehmet oz. >> he's got properties he didn't pay taxes on, foundations, they didn't file on. he said it slipped through the cracks, what are you talking about? you are not above the law? fetterman has received endorsement of schools and fetterman is pro-student loan forgiveness and dr. oz says loan forgiveness is unfair. the pittsburgh gazette is call og fetterman and dr. oz to release full medical records as questions continue about fetterman's recovery from a stroke. the candidates will debate on october 25th, but the board says

john fetterman needs to agree to do more debates given many people have cast a ballot by then. >> bill: good race to watch. >> dana: for more, chief political anchor and anchor of special report bret baier, interesting that john fetterman, he's slipping in the polls and i he is not changing his message, are they going to continue on and let oz creep up? >> bret: i think they have, good morning, first of all. i think they have a plan to continue hitting the same points that they are trying to hit, but in recent days he's been stepping up his appearances. he is trying to counter this narrative he is not capable to be on the trail. he doesn't take questions. he does very few interviews and as we talked about and you heard from brian, he agree to one

debate october 25th. there is a push for health records and q&a on policy. >> bill: that is important to point out, he can control his message if he keeps it refined to i think a 13-minute presentation or has been at his stops, am i right about that? >> bret: you're right. we've all covered campaigns, been out and about and you hear the speech and when somebody goes off script a bit, sometimes that is the news nugget that is different. this has not gone off script from what i've heard from people covering this campaign, it is the same speech. he's using it, getting out and not addressing any criticism of the policies. >> dana: national issue is immigration and the bussing and flying of migrants, this is exchange from a briefing in the white house briefing room where you and i used to be together.

watch here. >> why is the administration flying thousands of migrant from the border to florida and new york in the middle of the night? >> it is our legal responsibility to care for unaccompanied children until they are unified with parents, we have moral obligation to deliver on that. >> what did governor desantis do to them, use them as political pawns because the governor care about political theater. >> dana: setting aside legality of this, how do you assess the politics? >> bret: the politics are ugly for democrats and the white house, they have a situation where border numbers are overwhelming and yes, you can call this a political stunt, a political move, of course, it also increased attention on the

sectors not paying attention. on google, immigration and crime is above abortion and the fbi raid of mar-a-lago. it is increasingly in the front of mind because more and more people are paying attention to it. look at the contrast when jen psaki said it is not in the early morning hours, they were flying migrants to get them out of that area to other places to empty out facilities on the border. >> bill: in the "wall street journal," there is a case for providing more work visas, migrant influx could help with the labor shortage, argument he makes. critical paragraph, when the administration transports from texas to new york, been doing for a year, called resettlement, when texas governor does it, it is labeled human trafficking, if 51% of voting public believes

jason riley, there could be a shakedown come early november in the mid-term vote. >> bret: that's right. there is a feeling other people in the so-called sanctuary cities that have worn it on their sleeve for a long time said we accept migrants of all types and we are sanctuary place and they deal with influx coming from republican governors, it is uproar about it. that is a big difference than what communities are dealing with on the border, some getting more people than they have in their population. >> dana: you have fox nation special on history of socialism part two. >> bret: unauthorized history of socialism part two, how socialism came to be and how it factors into today's cancel culture and on the political side on the far left. it is interesting, takes a long time to do these things, check it out. and an hour special will be on

the fox news channingel. >> bill: cool, good stuff. see you 6:00, thank you for being here. >> bill: good question about politics of this and how people perceive this, we don't know yet. >> dana: google search thing is interesting, could be googles from different perspectives and coming down with a decision, we'll have more data next week as this will continue. >> bill: it is called a vote, that is the data. >> dana: that is true, now this. >> cartels are terrorists and it is time that we started treating them that way. >> bill: texas governor greg abbott, what that might mean in the fight against fentanyl. >> dana: and the hit and run driver who mowed down a mother and her infant says he deserves an early release, will his request be granted?

>> bill: shooting down efforts to obtain documents on hunter biden business dealings, where this goes if republicans take back the house in november. >> i don't think you can believe a word that comes out of president biden's mouth, the hunter biden laptop is a treasure trove, the american people deserve the truth.

public safety shows a dangerous trend, people from out of state smuggling in as many migrants as they can, they get paid a lot to do it by the cartels. in this case, 10 migrants in the truck, the driver was arrested and charged. we go to stash houses popping up across texas, if migrants made the journey, they end up at stash houses. these immigrants, including children were found in laredo. they are exampling of the mexico cartel lucrative, but deadly human smuggling accident running 24 hours a day at the southern border. we spoke to victor avila, he says one major concern is who is in the groups. >> they are being smuggled and

avoiding detection. why avoid detection? you possibly have criminal affiliation. >> this group running in the dark of night after paying $900 each to get across, the six mexico men were taken into custody and dished out that cash, nine grand each to get three attempts to get into the u.s., if they don't make it, they have to try again. things are not slowing down. when we talk about the cartel, people who talk to us here along the southern border who live here say they feel like the cartels are in charge and they would like to see the federal government get back in charge. >> dana: i imagine they do feel that way. thank you. >> bill: from washington, democrats on the house oversight committee voting down this resolution to investigate hunter

biden orph overseas business dealings. democrats versus republicans, no big surprise this went down. if you get a flip in november, house or senate, what happens to the hunter biden mess? >> right. this vote on the house oversight committee lays out the cards clearly. if democrats holds on to the house, there will not be a hunter biden investigation and the oversight committee has decided to circle the wagons around this president and deny the american people the right to know the question about what was joe biden's involvement in overseas business dealings, in network, the "new york post," and other outlets have proven over and over again. >> dana: if republicans do flip at least the house, how quickly might documents be produced? >> i think you will see things, assuming you believe republican promise about how committed they

are to the investigation, i think you will see things rolling very quickly and i know a lot of promises have been made for bank records, financial records, subpoenas of business partners, people like eric swerin and other people in the biden orbit. >> bill: 30 republicans signed a letter, we'll see what happens there in the balance of power. meanwhile, dr. fauci dropped a bomb talking about the effect that closures would have on kids during the pandemic. here is his quote and i'll ask about it. >> sometimes when you do draconian things, it has collateral negative consequences, just like when you shut things down, even temporarily it does have deleterious consequences on the economy and schoolchildren, you know that. >> bill: that of coers everything we've been watching for the past couple of years.

>> he said is that at the festival maybe for viewers that might be new, but obviously anyone could have told you closing schools for a year will lead to disastrous draconian outcomes. remote learning was always a fraud. in new york city, 100000 students who are homeless, these are kids that get lost in the system. they are not unique. >> dana: there in a way, in an answer you could say, we had to make a risk-based analysis to decide what was more important, were we going to save lives and -- instead, i think a lot of people are wondering, if this happens again, another pandemic, are we going to learn this lesson and make sure we keep kids in schools and business is open? >> i have to wonder what lives are we saving? kids are at least risk, for

most, a cold or no symptoms at all and we have made them less e equipped and able to handle the challenge for the hysteria. >> dana: i meant what dr. fauci was saying, keep kids home to not hurt teachers or not bring home to loved ones, we'll look at risk-based analysis on that. >> bill: on the economy, on the schoolchildren, that covers everything, right? businesses and schools. last comment. >> no stronger thing in the world than the american economy, i know businesses will bounce back, i worry about students, reading and math are historic lows and we were not leading the world before. >> dana: now way behind, huge problem. >> it will have effects for years. >> bill: thanks, jon levine, "new york post." >> dana: president biden at the united nations trying to rally

when it comes to nuclear th threats. bring in retires four-star general jack keane. turn it over to you, sir, how do you see things this morning? >> jack: in reference to the speech, i did think the president's speech was strong on russia, his tone and content were good, sense of conviction. i believe three things were lost opportunities. one, i'm absolutely convinced we should be identifying publicly what president zelenskyy's objective, which to to drive the russian offer ukraine territory and the president should make a statement to that effect. we know western european countries with exception of great britain would take a peace accord at the expense of ukraine right now and we should put

publicly not challenge them directly, but commit to zelenskyy's objective. second thing, i believe we deserve more direct response on what putin is doing in terms of nuclear weapons, it is remote and low in terms of possibility of that and reason i come to that conclusion is because putin still remains a rationale actor, heed made strategic mistakes and the fact is he knows full well if he loses nuclear tactical nuclear weapon that by definition will expand the war and consequences would be significant on him, the united states and nato, i do not think we have to get into the specifics of it. third thing is before the united nations and yes russia deserves attention at it, we have other

nations malign aggressive tension has ramped up, specifically china, no real discussion of what is going on with taiwan or the economic war fare china is developing or what iran is doing and how that they pickup # their game in terms of missile provided to proxy and how that reigned down on israel and mischief in the middle east and creeping closer to a nuclear weapon and killing their own people in the streets once again as result of protest. not to have addressed that with that whole body i think was a strategic mistake in terms of some specifics and here we have the president of iran following our president much later and certainly we should have given him something to think about. >> dana: agree on all, interesting to get your perspective.

one quick question, putin's mobilization of men to come and fight, would he even be able to train and support them? won't that take months? that's a great question, the far right is pushing for greater action, he can't get their, there is opposition in the street by calling up 300,000 reserveivityists we wouldn't see on the battlefield for three or four months and some are medically or mentally unfit in the sense they don't want to be there and join a military force t displayed significant amount of incompetence. >> dana: general jack keane, thank you, we'll keep in touch as this rolls along, appreciate
