♪ ♪ >> brian: all right, thank you for watching "fox & friends" one nation at 8:00 and then john crist, john o'day, the next senator from colorado. governor newsom wants four more years. steve wants what? >> steve: buy the book. where did she go? good morning, a big review of house republicans. standby about an ounce sweeping agenda to carry the victory in november and beyond. as we say good morning on a friday, bill hemmer. welcome to the program here. >> what a great note. >> the first day of fall, is that the reason why? >> i think it is good to be here with all of you and i'm dana perino. this is "america newsroom." this is exciting. the midterm elections 46 days away. house republicans, they are going on offense.

laying out an ambitious agenda and designed to hit the ground running should they win win back the house. >> bill: kevin mccarthy will announce the plan for commitment to america and that should ring a bell. >> dana: it is for sure, the title is a call back to the g.o.p.'s contract with america. former house speaker newt gingrich was the architect of that plan. it repelled republicans with major victories 1994 when they won battles for the first time in four decades. >> bill: amazing history. the new agenda focused on the following information from energy independence, the supply chain, the border, crime in america. according to minority leader kevin mccarthy, these are not just talking points for election. >> what we want to do was a plan for a new direction. we want to be upfront with the american public. we want an election to have the contrast. if they put their trust in us, this is that is exactly what we will do. hold their feet to the fire appeared on the very first day, we will repeal 87,000 irs agents

appear they are not going after. we work for you, they don't work for us. >> let's get it going 15 fox coverage newt gingrich on deck to take us through time and alexandria hoff begins coverage from pennsylvania. alex, good morning. >> good morning, bill. you said it right 25 miles south of pittsburgh where washington county and it looks to me that we have about 30 g.o.p. house members here in attendance right now. and many of them have taken a tour of the facility. of the house members, a diverse group that speaks to the kind of unity that leader mccarthy has been able to garner over this plant. expect remarks to begin a half an hour from now. when it comes to the venue and it is quite appropriate, this is a dmi company, and this is a heavy manufacturing region. it brings us into the first of the pillars of the republican plan. that focuses on the economy, an economy that is strong. the party promises a nation that

is safe, unfreedom and a government that is accountable. and expected to hear how this plan contrast with the state of the country under democratic control of the house emphasizing to voters other parts parental rights and plan to secure the border will work but only if the g.o.p. makes the flip. right now, it is appearing possible for the latest fox news power ranking shows republicans projected to have 13 seed advantage following the midterms. democrats have been quick to pounce feeling voters swayed slightly on the issue of abortion. recent successes of the biden administration. it is interesting because just down the road this morning, democratic house steny hoyer spoke at the united steelworkers union headquarters. this is what he had to say. >> the platform, which frankly isn't new as long as slogans are short on details, which is usually the case. that is because the true details of republicans agenda are too frightening for most american

voters. >> now, nancy pelosi, house speaker nancy pelosi she also released a statement this morning calling the commitment to america. she called it the commitment to maga and call this extreme. the democratic side a lot of pessimism but a lot of excitement in the room. they are hoping for a excitement would turn over to voters giving them a clear path what they intend to vote for come november. that is akin to 1994, bill. >> bill: thanks alexandria. we are waiting for that, thanks, dana. >> dana: the architect of g.o.p. 1994 contract with america. house speaker newt gingrich, it is good to have you with us because one, you were they are the end. you are here now. what is the biggest difference and how will it help republicans in this particular midterm? >> well, i helped president reagan ten canada for the first capital steps for the contract in 1980. than we did one in 94 that led to the first house majority in

four years. this is actually a bigger more complete and more sophisticated effort. kevin mccarthy over a year ago asked his members to form seven working groups. they have produced at their website and they have over 150 specific pledges. i think it is ironic that nancy pelosi would talk about it as extreme. if you think walking out criminals is to extreme or controlling the borders is extreme. energy independence is extreme, if you think stopping inflation as extreme, then you are probably left-wing democrat appeared for most americans who make these be powerful. they will be real. i was with the republican conference yesterday and enormously wide commitment by the members. i really was very, very impressed how many understood this is a commitment for governing, not just for campaigning. it is a huge, historic step in the right direction.

smelling here is what joe biden said the dnc fund-raiser and i believe he was in new york for the nga. lose the house and senate and it changes the trajectory of what we want to do. we have to make this a choice. what is the alternative? can anybody tell me what the republican platform is for? that is what today is all about. but when i think is extraordinary about what you accomplished in 1990, bill clinton had a tough 24 months to begin his first term. no doubt about that. the rollout of health care was a failure. the media was all over him in the first 24 months. but the republicans had not held house majority in 40 years. you would have to go back to 1952 to find that. and i think it is a reminder that our members also there are so short hello long at the stretch it was for washington for democrats to control the agenda. >> i think it was truly historic. which grew out of reagan and someone said about 80% of the

contract up america was in reagan's 1985 saved at the union. so welfare reform, no, the only balanced budgets in a lifetime came out of the republicans in the house. and i think in that sense, we were so inconsequential. i think what kevin mccarthy is trying to do and what i saw yesterday with his members, he succeeded. he is laying out a platform for governing, not just a platform for campaigning. with mike that is what we did and only the first elected majority in 40 years, the firste majority since 1928. and so, that was because people so we kept our word. and i think mccarthy is going to lead his party and steve scalise, the majority leader and the other percent of the leadership team, i think they will lead the republican party in the house to keep his word and for biden to choose. biden joining "fox & friends" who sent pictures of gigantic tent city that is being built in

new york for people that biden is leading across the border illegally. i think the american people want to change the trajectory and stop the murders. they want to stop the rising prices. they want to get back to independence and energy. the commitment to america that the house republicans are launching provides exactly the kind of things that the american people would like to replace the current failures with peer of the truth is and you know this the two of you, when you go to the grocery store, you know it ain't working because it's too expensive. i paid $5.05 a gallon of gas last saturday and it's not working. you watch the evening news and see the local murder rate. you know it's not working. that is why i think this will be a much bigger republican tsunami than people expect. >> dana: one quick question. so do you believe kevin mccarthy would be a good speaker? would you discourage other republicans from trying to challenge him in the leadership race? >> sure. look, he is the nf of the polls speaker and spent the time and

both the organization and develop the commitment and raise the money. i think he is ready. i think he will be a very, very effective leader, and he will have to be strategic leader to do what we did with clinton. which is maneuver so that the american people got clinton to sign welfare reform, sign a balanced budget, signed tax cuts. those are not things democrats want to but clinton saw his future required him to do it. biden will place the same choice next year. i think mccarthy is the right person to have too, frankly, maneuver against a very left-wing white house. >> bill: just quickly speaker pelosi the extreme maga agenda, america's priority and lined with the politics with lower cost him a better paying jobs and safer communities. some of the reaction from the democratic side. thank you for your time. newt gingrich in d.c. there is a new video this morning about the migrant bus arriving in new york city for the overwhelm texas border. the mayor here refilling a new plan to deal with that surge.

he's planning to build these to pop up tent shelters in the coming weeks. one of them will be the bronx where we find nate floyd this morning, how does it look, nate, good morning. >> good morning, bill. the first tent facility in the bronx where i'm standing right now will be up and running into next few weeks. the date has not been decided yet. but we do know new york city has received 1,600 microns from the southern border. the city is having a hard time finding a place for all those people to state. hotel rooms come up at the shelter system is strained. in this tent facility is supposed to help that. take a look at what it is supposed to look like. you see above, the tents are expected to be winterized so they can withstand new york city winter. they will hold at least this one specifically in the bronx will hold 1,000 single adults. it is meant to be a short-term solution, pardon me. some migrants will stay here a few days and given food, water,

medical care as well as relocation services and casework assistance. this comes, bill, more and more buses arrive in new york city by the day. you see in the squad box, video of monday through thursday of this week more migrants arriving and officials from the mayor's office explain how single adults are treated differently than families. >> for families, they get individual rooms. they get support and hotel space that is dedicated for families. individuals get other treatment, other spaces and generally congregate spaces. >> bill, we have video of four more migrant buses arriving in new york city this morning. which makes 22 buses over this week. the commissioner manuel castro calling texas governor greg abbott a political extremist for implementing this busing program. greg abbott has a different perspective and argues texas

communities overrun because of president biden's lose border policies and the buses will keep coming to sanctuary cities like new york city until the president secures our southern border, of course. new york city dealing with just a drop in the bucket compared to what texas is dealing with every single day. the city has not said exactly how much this is going to cost, bill, and we don't have exact date for this tent to open but it is expected in the next few weeks. >> bill: thanks, a lot of things start small and grows quickly. thanks, nate and the bronx, new york. >> dana: the pandemic relief is even worse than previously thought. the amount of taxpayer dollars on two ways. >> bill: also, dana, growing concerns heading into a recession comic recession. janet yellen looking at the glass half-full is the optimism justified? >> dana: democrats turning up at isle end the fight against oil and gas production, even has energy prices soar. we take a wrecking ball to the economy and the money panel is on deck.

steve more work for donald trump, austan goolsbee for barack obama, gentlemen, the teams reunite. good morning. steve, you have that i honor of going first this week. >> he said that would be the road to hell for america. >> no question about it. the united states should be the leader producing fossil fuels and we have more fossil fuels than any other country. and we also wonder donald trump had achieved energy independence for the first time in yours, mine and alston's lifetime. a beautiful picture and we see decline at a time when we should be producing more. look, we need fossil fuels. 75% of our energy we get from fossil fuels. the idea of going to zero is dangerous and by the way jamie dimon is not a big republican as you know, bill. he is a centrist, and he is saying exactly what i think america wants, we ought to produce more.

>> bill: he tends to ride the middle. this is what we will hear from mccarthy and a couple of minutes, austin. >> bill, i would observe that production of oil in the united states is way up, 2022 is going to be the second highest production year in the history of the united states. we have reestablished energy independence. exactly what steep is describing. i don't think it is that productive to kind of sees on the one most ideological member of congress and say, "look what that person said, that represents the whole party." when they do that on the republican side, i also object. >> i want to say something on that. >> bill: make it quick. >> this is joe biden's agenda. this is not the radicals of the party, joe biden said he wants to go to zero fossil fu

fuels, austan, by 2024. that is a radical agenda, that is not the squad but the radical agenda. >> that is a massive overstatement that is not correct at all. the price of gas has fallen for 91 days in a row, an all-time record. the second highest oil production in the history of the united states. so let's just put this into proper context. >> bill: also the context president biden seized student loans. jamie dimon was critical of that move to lead on that as well. back to that exchange, watch. >> sir, everybody that got relief from student loans have a bank account with your bank should probably take out their account and close their account. >> that is one way to resulted. >> bill: quickly, gentlemen janet yellen things the fed in the u.s. government can make the soft landing with our economy. we may see the dow jones open

going down the road that says what we ought to have our big tax cuts like the trump administration. the u.k. just proposed that and that is what is leading this massive sell-off. >> bill: that is what we should be doing. >> would be doing exactly what it does doing in the u.k., which is tanking the stock market and everyone is panicking. >> we revived in the economy through tax cuts, austan, let's do it again and it did it for reagan. >> let's not. >> bill: thank you, austan, welcome back. thank you, steve, see you soon. >> dana: that was great. a tight race for governor in mexico but let's talk to the republican candidate and former meteorologist mark kinney about his race. fox news causing a toss up. it's close. house republicans to speak in a moment now about their agenda and final weeks before the midterms what they plan to say about commitment to america. >> we are running not just what they are doing but most

has not addressed it. we are 51st and education now that they count washington, d.c. we were out of school six most days of any state in the country here appear the biggest problem is, there has been no plan to catch kids up. no summer academies across the state to get kids caught up, that is what we are focusing the education plan. you mentioned the crime issue continues to be an issue, but a big problem and you hear about arizona and you hear about taxes, but you don't hear about new mexico. we have 180-mile stretch of the border with the governor has both a national guard away. we continue to see fentanyl blowing up through the state here. as that happens, we lose one to two mexicans a day to fentanyl overdose. what we propose is working closely with arizona and texas. we have for border strike force to go after the fentanyl and the human trafficking here as well. it is those two issues crime and education. the economy is a big issue as

[applause] so, we could have set back and look how bad the policies have been. give us the majority and it will be different. that toss isn't good enough. we want to lay out a bold, conservative vision to show the company though my country there is hope again. there is not one direction far left that big government socialism that is wrecking this great country. there is a better way. the commitment to america it is going to show the country if you give us a republican majority in the house, these are the things we will do. we will bring pills to the floor. we will have great debates to solve the problems that joe biden and nancy pelosi created. you are concerned about inflation like us. we have a plan to reduce inflation. your concern about high energy cost, not just at the pump.

gas prices are too high but this winter, here it will be a little bit cold in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. we have a plan to lower energy cost and get us back not only to lower energy cost, but energy independence. we shouldn't be buying oil and natural gas from russia or iran or saudi arabia. we can make it right here in america like you make steel in pittsburgh. [applause] and that is what we are laying out how to do it, how to secure america's border. it was not that long ago we had a secure american border. it is not like we have to reinvent the wheel, but they broke the wheel. we are here to fix it, and we have a plan to do just that. we are proud to write it down on paper. if joe biden doesn't like this plan, i think it is time joe biden has to be asked a question: mr. president, if there is a bill put on your desk to lower energy cost, will you sign it or veto it? if you veto it, i think now the country understands what is at stake. we will give him that dilemma. we will give him that

opportunity to wake up like we do to fight for the american people, not to make things harder for the american people. that is what the commitment to america is all about, to show people once again there can be hope, there can be opportunity so when you wake up, it is not to go to work for yourself. it is to go to work to make sure your kids have a better future. there is nowhere else in the world where that opportunity exists. if they were in that opportunity in america, there is no backup plan. we cannot let this great nation fall. we will not let this great nation fall. america can rise up again, and you are going to see that with its commitment to america. i appreciate the opportunity to come and present it here with all of my colleagues in the leadership of kevin mccarthy. we have a great team pure you will see a lot of my colleagues talking about the different parts of this we put work into. our conference chair who leads the effort and helping us all stay focused on what this is all about is the congresswoman from

new york. >> thank you, steve. [applause] thank you, steve and thank you to dmi as well as congressmen for hosting us in his beautiful district today. i will tell you, i represent the district in upstate new york and a counter that looks like we are in pennsylvania today. what i hear from my constituents is people are struggling. families are struggling to make ends meet. whether you go to the grocery store, whether you are budgeting and preparation for the home heating bills that are skyrocketing this enter or whether you struggled this past year to fill up your tank of gas. people feel they are working harder than ever before, but they are falling further behind in the american people are smart. they know that it is a direct result of the failed policies of one party democrat rule in washington. and there is a better way. we are here to help. and this is our commitment to

america. these ideas came from the american people. all of our members listen to their constituents. i always say the best ideas come from my constituents directly. when it comes to an economy that strong, making sure that we stop the trillions and trillions of reckless government spending that we have seen under democrat rule. that will immediately help lower the cost as we seek to rein in inflation. unleash american energy independence to lower the price of gas, lower the price of heating bills. how about a nation that is safe? you see the headlines, whether it is on local, national news everyday. we see crime skyrocketing. that is a direct result of democrats one party defund the police policies and rhetoric. let me tell you whether you are in new york or in pennsylvania, we proudly back to blue. let's give all of our law enforcement officers a round of applause.

[applause] that is why our commitment to america under a nation, house republicans will immediately ensure we hired 200,000 more police officers across the country to make sure that our communities are safe. [applause] we will go after the radical leftist prosecutors, d.a.s refusing to abide by the rule of law and prioritize the criminals rather than the law-abiding citizens. [applause] and our commitment, we also have a future that is built upon freedom. i am proud to be the newest mom in congress. i am a mom to my 1-year-old, sam. i will tell you moms and dads across this country, they know that parents are the primary stakeholders and their kids education, which is why we will

pass a parent's bill of rights. [applause] and then lastly, a government that is accountable. we work for you, not the other way around. we work to serve the american people. and what we see the democrat controlling house and senate is, they feel entitled. they feel like it is the other way around that you work for them. not so in a republican majority. we will hold this administration accountable. we will make sure we are conducting oversight. we will root out the corruption and return it to the people's house. so join us in supporting the commitment to america, a new direction democrats have no plan. house republicans have a plan, and it is our commitment to you. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you. now, if you are out there listening, go to commitment america.com and join us. we are not here to talk to you but we also want to listen to

you. a lot of you are business owners. a lot of you are parents and others want to talk a little bit more of what is happening in america today. >> has a minority leader kevin mccarthy leading the republican leadership there statements police and elise stefanik where they are releasing a commitment to america. this is similar to the contract with america released right before the 1992 midterms. excuse me 1994 midterms. and they have a pack and gone to q&a so we want to bring in shannon bream host of "fox news sunday" who is with us. shannon, one of the things that is interesting, i thought this commitment to america was coming much later than the contract america did back in 1994. and how true could this be a question worth the contract with america was released september 27, 1994. this is about right in line. if you remember at the time, you and i are old enough to remember, it was just seismic how many republicans.

they are not that many toss-up seats and play right now, but the republicans are in pretty good position to win. now they have something to run, a policy platform to run on. >> there was always his criticism that you can only get so far by pointing to the other side and sagging, "we don't like those guys and we don't like their policies. they are doing a terrible job." for a prescription what you will do for the country to make things better is an important part of the conversation. newt gingrich who obviously became speaker of the house under that contract with america knew that is something people needed. they needed to be inspired and promised things would get better. republicans are smartly honing in on the ideas that are most troubling to americans, the economy, the border, the education and congressman stepanek their voice, and we saw how well that worked for glenn youngkin winning in virginia as a tight race in virginia. they are starting to focus on these issues that they believe

voters care most about that will differentiate them from democrats. but already my inbox and i'm sure yours, too, reaction of democrats calling this extremist maga policies. that is coming from house speaker nancy pelosi who would like to stay speaker pelosi. >> bill: 28 years ago, newt gingrich ran it and he was here with dana and me and describing the contrast now as to the claimant. watch, guys. may have, may not? okay. what newt gingrich talked about was that history. they have gone since 1952, 1954, that i set of two years the majority in congress. that statement to america work during that election so we will see if that happens this time. chuck schumer is already calling them out for being extreme maga opponents. the abortion issue is something that just about every campaign of democratic and the democratic

category is talking about. i think that is your election, shannon. >> amine comic that is really what you have to think about. the focus on the issues that are good for republicans versus the ones great for democrats. they know abortion normally not at the top of the list for most voters in a year like this roe v. wade gets overturned by the u.s. supreme court, it is going to be top of mind. a recent fox news poll link talk to people and for 75% of those who say abortion is a driving factor in their vote, they are voting democrat. we have seen an enormous money spent on ads telling people republicans will take away all of your choice. but is bubbling out there that's republicans said they wanted it to go state-by-state. we see a vergence on what states are doing with respect to abortion. but again as we talked about with senator lindsey graham on "fox news sunday" and throughout this week, he is author of defending the fact he's trying to put forth a federal 15 week band and that just
