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 brings this

conversation this topic back to the front. while republicans you can hear what the the house, something they were talking about as they try to woo the voters. >> dana: inflation, economy and jobs, that is the number one issue. all states, national surveys. right now, we are looking at a dow jones with a pretty tough week. a lot of people who are watching their 401(k)s are thinking this is not the trajectory. they might have to put off their retirement. or as they were sating in the presentation, people are making tough choices at the grocery store. they don't see an end in sight. and they feel like the president of the united states when he says, "oh, inflation has gone up an inch, he does not understand what they were going through." can the republicans maintain that kind of momentum over the next few weeks to bring these statements home? >> these polls have been tightening as you have watched closer than anybody. they talk about this on the show, they have been getting better for the president and

they have been getting better for democrats, too. you look at the congressional ballot, those things have been happening. the republicans have an opportunity if they go on economic issues comic asked, they can say it picked up a little bit, that is good newsd we want that to be good news for the country, but when u look at a 13.5% increase august over august when it comes to grocery shopping, every single family in this country, every single person, every student trying to get through college, everybody will feel the price increase. yes, good gas prices have gone down but again that is happening in part because of inflation thc petroleum reserve. so very much ahead at the direction. people with the polling believe that is true and blamed the administration. >> bill: you have it now, newt gingrich from the last hour in his comparison. >> it is truly historic, the only balanced budgets in your lifetime came out of the

republicans in the house. and i think that sense, we were really consequential and i think what kevin mccarthy is trying to do and what i saw yesterday with his members, he is succeeding. he is laying out a platform for governing not just a platform for campaigning. >> bill: that is six weeks away, shannon as we point out. the election is on an chuck schumer response, republicans rolling out a new agenda. maga extreme agenda, nationwide abortion ban, medicare, social security on the chopping block and raising taxes on working families. i remind you, shannon in new york yesterday, yesterday afternoon joe biden said what are the republicans for? can you tell me? today you get the answer. so the last comment to you as we now feel as if this campaign is in full force. >> well, it is so quaint to hear about a balanced budget, guys. oh, a balanced budget. we see how far we have come from that. republicans say yes, we are coming to the table and this is what it is. we will talk with congressman stepanek fox news sent

exclusively about this beer they have critics on the left and right and they have to keep the caucus together as well so can they do that? we are going down the home stretch and we will talk to her about it on sunday. >> dana: who else, joe manchin as well? >> we do. he has with us exclusively to talk about that site deal he negotiated with the vote on inflation reduction act. it will be potentially he believes and the senate leadership to a funding measure. we run up of money with the feds next week. with a vote for this? and will they be a part of it? he will be here to explain. >> dana: let me tell you one thing. i can't do another government shutdown. let's all pray... i don't want to do that again. thank you so much. >> bill: we watch on sunday. make a lot of news connection appear and think you. >> dana: see you sunday. >> bill: does it feel like or do you feel like the campaign is finally about to give birth to the cycle? >> dana: as soon as the fall, we are in it and we have all

been studying. >> bill: we shall see september 23rd of. >> dana: biden to address left-wing national rowing association later today. the nation's largest teachers union, a lightning rod over americans kids are learning in the classroom. the local ideology getting serious pushback. >> bill: the republican lawmakers rolling out a bill stripped the teachers union of its congressional charter. that is an issue we have seen growth nationwide before the midterms coming out of covid. as parents controversial changes they protest and their kids education. >> as a parent, i do not agree with these political theories being taught to my children. >> we want parents to have the first satan what's being taught to their kids. we want policy change that they will not teach things out of the curriculum. >> bill: a big topic in last november but what happens now? jacqui heinrich to give us the battle over education, nice to see you, good morning. >> nice to see you, bill

good morning from the white house. the group that the president is speaking to the national education association has recently been in the headlines, you might recall, trying to change the word mother to birthing parent of their contracts in order to be more inclusive of the lgbtq tia plus community. they also came under fire recently for equipping teachers with qr codes that when scanned direct students how to guides that promote nonbinary gender identities, the idea transgender men can become pregnant according to townhall.com. right now but this group is in danger of losing their federal charter for pushing "local ideology with republicans in the house and senate submitting bills. congressman jim hanks said nea is a lobbying firm for the dnc that irreparably harmed students during the pandemic and pushes anti-american ideologies in the classroom. according to the report, they

pass the annual gathering in chicago that would allocate $140,000 to conduct opposition research on 25 organizations that are allegedly attacking gender identity and sexual orientation freedoms in public schools. and according to one former nea member who spoke to fox digital in july, "not just trying to change culture but trying to change what it means to be human." they have no ability to tolerate somebody who doesn't agree with him. so the nea was officially established by act of congress in 1906. it is the only labor union that is congressionally chartered. republicans trying to take it down say that in the 2020 election cycle, the nea cave with a 95% of their candidate campaign contributions to democrats. it is a highly partisan organization, and the president is going to address this group around 1:00 eastern. we don't have any clues what he will say or who the guests are, but we will be watching.

>> bill: we shall. thank you, did jacqui heinrich, nice to see you. education a top issue for voters midterms. it could be the deciding factor in a race in kansas that is gaining national attention. polls show a tight race between the incumbent democratic governor lori laura kelly and republican state ag derek schmidt. and picking up that story the midwest bureau, hello. >> bill, good morning to you. a lot of people will remember laura kelly was the first governor in the nation to cancel the rest of the 2020 school year for students back in 2020. she was the first governor of the nation to do that. in the selection, it large part a referendum on that decision. a decision she is standing by. touting her worth with g.o.p.-controlled legislature to get schools fully funded. her opponent kansas attorney general derek schmidt is hammering on the frustrations and damages to kids and families that have come from her decision to close the schools, arguing that kelly went too far.

>> derek, i will never apologize for protecting the lives of our children. [applause] >> what good does it do to fully fund schools if you turn around and walk the children out of them? >> bill: along with education this week, both campaigns released as addressing the issue of transgender women's competing in sports. an issue that governor kelly twice vetoed bills that would have prevented that from happening. >> laura kelly vetoed laws to protect men and women in sports not once but twice. [applause] laura kelly if she can't protect women, she shouldn't be governor of kansas. >> you may see my opponent's attacks, so let me say it come up course men should not play a role sports. >> bill: kelly's campaign points out the governors in indiana and utah with similar legislation in their states. given how red kansas is though, political analyst say kelly needs to walk a fine line on a

number of social issues in order to win this race. >> republicans outnumber democrats in the state of kansas and most precincts by more than 2-1. so the only way that a democrat can win statewide is by getting a lot of republicans to vote for her. >> bill: this race is one of the top targets for republicans. laura kelly is only democratic governor of her reelection or is running for reelection in a state that president trump won in 2020, bill. >> bill: good stuff, dana. >> dana: and unleashing a series of campaign ads in getting the left over rising crime. but democrats expressing hope that four policing and safety bills passed by the house yesterday will plant those attacks. let's bring in leo terrell, civil rights attorney in fox news contributor. do you think that these bills that they pass will axley make difference? >> no, absolutely not. i will tell you why. dana, first of all thank you for

having me these are public relation midterm bills. they will not pass the senate and how can you support the police if you ignore soft prosecutors, district attorneys, for a allowing criminals out? you can't support law enforcement when law enforcement cannot do their job here they cannot arrest individuals and then they are released by soft prosecutors. these bills are to give democrats cover because the last few years, dana and bill, they have defunded the police departments and these bills are nothing more than midterm public relations stunt. >> bill: just barely survived yesterday, leo. one mirror vote, and you're probably right. we will see how it moves forward in the senate. meanwhile have you been watching the story? shannon brandt, age 41 who struck and killed an 18-year-old by the name of kaylee ellington and then later turned himself essentially went cold the police. the police are now saying this from the affidavit that striking

a pedestrian with his car because he had a political argument with a pedestrian and believe the pedestrian was calling people to come get him here at the dakota highway patrol is now saying, that was not the case. there was no politics involved here that they had found with evidence. what do you think about this case and what have you learned about >> i tell you this is where this driver, in my opinion, committed second-degree murder by rolling, crying over this guy. he used a so-called maga defense and these guys extremist on the right. i will tell you right now, dana and bill, joe biden has blood on his hands. he has been dividing this country calling 75 million people ultra maga extremists. and accused of this crime use that as an affirmative defense to run over someone and leave him there without rendering any help. this is what has happened with

joe biden basically dividing this country are declaring 75 million trump supporter's supreme extremist answer premised. >> dana: i wanted to show you how much media coverage the story got else elsewhere, leo. if everybody can take a look, guess what, zilch, nada, zero. and even if this excuse by brandt turns out to be ridiculous and not true, i can imagine that if in the reverse, you would have seen a lot more coverage, leo. last word to you. >> thank you, dana. it is obvious the left wing data is providing cover for the democratic party hatred towards have at this country. there is zero coverage on this issue. it is affirmative evidence that they are shielding the president on this issue where he has divided this country based on hate and trying to divide this country based on political affiliation. it is outrageous.

that gentlemen should basically face the full extent of the charges against him. >> bill: thank you, leo. >> dana: good to see you. >> thank you, my pleasure. >> it is extremely, extremely lethal and deadly drug cartels are continuing to change and evolving. they are trying new chemicals, new drugs. >> bill: trying and succeeding my new drug on america's streets far deadlier than fentanyl. how could that be? you ask. >> dana: portion at the forefront in the governor's race. stacey abrams facing backlash over remarks about prenatal heartbeats. >> bill: disturbing news at the southern border again, counting works overrun with a spike in migrant deaths. we will take you there. >> it is a crisis. i labeled it, there you go. we are in the middle of a cr crisis. 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.

♪ ♪ >> bill: growing concern, deadlier than fentanyl showing up on american streets. showing that drug could be ten times as potent and overdose case is underreported because the labs don't usually test for this. jonathan, sarah, we have another one to deal with. what do you know about it? >> we do, indeed, limited testing and we don't now how many related overdoses have occurred in the u.s., but we do know of some disturbing trends. the report published by the cdc, tennessee health officials warned they have seen four times as many overdoses from magazine related drugs in 2021 as they did the previous year. that prompted west virginia attorney general patrick morrissey to write a letter to dea administrator asking for information on what is being done to assess and to combat the problem.

he says his state has seen a significant increase in deaths from fentanyl products using raw ingredients from china in manufacturing the package by drug tort cartels in mexico be. >> it comes over the border in the heartland's into west virginia where people are pings slaughtered by fentanyl. when i hear of a new product that can be ten times more lethal than fentanyl, that gets my attention because we have to be very proactive. >> health officials say the opioid overdoses and the reverse nor can can be reversed from magazines but may be required because of the potency of magazines. after a series of suspected fentanyl overdoses among students, the nation second large school district, los angeles has announced it will make narcan available at all k-12 schools in the coming weeks. >> we have the appropriate stuff that we want. we will start with 600 units, which means everyone of our

senior high schools and middle schools will have these units at hand. >> and bill, magazines were originally created as a potential pain reliever 60 years ago, but they were never approved for use in the u.s. over to you. >> bill: thanks, gentlemen for bringing that to our attention. >> dana: the pennell crisis taking root in america's classroom. the los angeles police seven teenagers have overdose on suspected fentanyl pills in the last month. marc siegel is a professor of medicine at nyu medical center and fox news contributor and superintendent says they have an urgent crisis on their hands, doctor. >> absolutely, dana. several overdose in the last few weeks. jonathan and sarah were talking about they will bring narcan into the school room. 1400 schools in over 430,000 students. here is the issue with that though. i want to say right here, anybody can use at narcan.

it is a spray that you spray into your nose. they will spend time trying to figure out who can administer it. i think anybody can administer it. it works for 30-90 minutes to adverse the effects of fentanyl. as you might imagine, it wears off. we need people to be on the lookout for changes in behavior, for kids becoming confused, difficulty with breathing. all of that byway -- the most important point, dana if you give the spray wrong, nothing happens and no side effect for that. we need more and more of this out there. obviously it doesn't handle the huge problem that is causing it. the cartels and the issue floating across the border. opioid pills pump and skid last year and millions and millions more. this is just a band-aid. at least it is a step forward. >> dana: do you think parents should stop this product in their homes? it is that available for them to do so? >> i think so, yes. i think this is for sure

something that parents should have an kids should be instructed at using. we are also seeing accidental overdoses from pills who didn't know were laced with fentanyl. so someone thinks they are buying a stimulant or buying a painkiller. they end up with this. i think they should become available everywhere as should, by the way, something called -- a medication that actually is a treatment for opioid overuse. that is not used enough peer that needs to become prominent in all physicians in the united states to prescribed that because that is an actual treatment. this is only temporary. >> dana: i have a different topic. i want to go down to the governor's race, stacey abrams with controversy about fetal heartbeats. watch. >speed till we reached out for,

and the campaign said stacey abrams with her supports for limits and aligning with roe v. wade and doctors cleared with the so-called heartbeat law is not medically accurate. doctor, over to you. it is a heartbeat able to hear a heartbeat six weeks in a pregnancy? >> first of all the poor answer that, or comments are outrageous. the fetal ultrasound invented by ian donald in scotland. who said women may see in vitro or a former fetus and not have an abortion. what is wrong with that? also, the great medical advances of fetal ultrasound have saved so many lives. it is led to be able to operate in vitro. in utero. it has allowed surgeons to go in there and operate. it is such a life-saving thing.

it is so ridiculous that she said that. now your question to six weeks, dana, i have to tell you can see six weeks at a fetus is forming. there was no heart, no valves but you are seen flutt fluttering, flickering of fetal activity. that is the beginning of the heart. you can come by when an actual heart of hers, but that is the beginning of flickering and fluttering of life there where the heart is going to be. so i'm also very disturbed about the idea about this whole discussion, and this isn't what you asked but focuses on either one way or the other. abortions are illegal up to 14 weeks in france. here it is observed the way this has deteriorated appear there is no room for debate in the united states here. >> dana: well, it is interesting what you say about sonogram, right? if you go and a lot of people today have grown up watching their siblings on the refrigerator and the different

pictures and stages of pregnancy because they were able to have a sonogram. they get the picture and get excited about the baby that will join the family. we could debate it. >> absolutely. >> dana: we do not have enough time to talk about all that. >> it is a celebration of life, dana i agree with you. it is a sign of life. >> dana: you are 100% correct in my opinion. >> bill: thank you, doll, thank you dana. fox is getting an exclusive look at the taxes morgues overwhelmed with the surgeon migrant deaths. and we will report some of the video is graphic. this exclusive story today, good morning. >> hi, bill it is a graphic with a grim reality here at the southern border. as migrants continue to die at record numbers as they try to make their way to the united states and many times smuggled by the cartel. we went inside the medical examiner's office, one of the

busiest on the southern border. and he tells us, she is running out of room, listen. >> it is full. and currently have not a single space in that cooler. but in addition, we have three portable more units outside and one is a backup unit. >> so we have that exclusive chance to go inside the webb county medical examiner's office. a warning for viewers these are typical images to see. take a look, this man from new mexico found dead in a ranch in laredo, texas. the medical examiner fingerprinting and documenting that death with hundreds of others just this year. she believes this man died from severe dehydration because it is hot out here appear that man would have turned 29 years old today. the webb county medical examiner's office had to purchase these new coolers to try to keep up with a surge in migrant deaths expecting to process more than 300 bodies of migrants who have died crossing into the united states.

most of the debts heatstroke but railings are on the rise. ship cemeteries like this are popping up on the southern bordr and struggling to find room and staff these parties and they've never had anything like this even with the pandemic in texas. pcp pipe crosses and each one has a name. >> this is an unforgiving journey. this is what happens, don't listen to what the coyotes are telling you. they want your money. they could care less if they make this journey safely. my message to you harsh it seems, stay home. there is a better path to your freedom. >> the medical examiner speaking directly to those migrants giving all their money and lives to try to make it here putting their trust in the cartels. a live look at eagle pass, texas, with a drone and large groups coming in this morning. a group of 50 or so. live come i can tell you sources are telling us more than 3,000

migrants died trying to cross into the united states. so far this year and counting though, bill. >> bill: thank you, alexis. alexis mcadamsmcadams, eagle pa, texas. >> dana: an open senate seat in north carolina where crime can be a deciding factor. according to the fox news rankings, power rankings, excuse me, republicans, training us senate nominee ted ted budd. in your state, how big of a part is crime for your campaign? >> the issues are inflation, crime and parents want to save their kids education. when it comes to crime, whatever happens at the border 72 hours later is all over the country including 100 counties of north carolina. sheriffs are coming up to me saying every county in north carolina is now a border counter dimmick county because of joe biden's policies. those are the policies cheri beasley would support more fentanyl overdoses, more violent crime in north carolina. we know how to fix this.

we need to support our police. and not treat them like criminals but treat them like heroes. we appreciate what they do each and everyday. >> bill: you picked up a big endorsement. north carolina association yesterday the president wrote this. dave and rose. violent crime on the rise in north carolina more than ever before we need a senator who has our backs and not someone supported by defund the police activists. we endorsed ted budd because he is the best choice for north carolina. your opponent, beasley tied to an event if you years ago with cori bush out of st. louis, a big black lives matter activists as a congresswoman speier cheese supports defining the police. your opponent said, "i do not support defining the police." and all because she went on to say, "i know police officers need more funding." how do you respond to that clarification? >> that is very politically expedient for her to say. but we look who you hang out with and birds of the feather and we know the rest of the

statement. she has spent time with, hang out with and definitely be part of the radical squad, which supports defining the police. and so, we have to stop that. that is not north carolina values. we have to have law enforcement back. i've had law enforcement down to the border tell me that. i've had a law enforcement and 100 counties tell me that. we need to treat them like heroes. i want them to know that i have their back and i appreciate the north carolina police benevolent association endorsing these as well. including the north carolina troopers association. i appreciate their support. >> dana: and the poles have you at 45.8%, beasley 43.8% and is that too close for comfort for you? >> you never get comfortable in these races. you want to stay humble, work hard, stay focused, and ask people for their support in their vote. that is what we are doing. the people can get on my website tedbudd.com and we want to

see them in north carolina and tremendously appreciate people in all 100 counties where we have been and continue to go earning their support and then coming out to help. >> bill: donald trump will be at that rally in wellington north carolina as you mention. he won the state but barely two years ago. can you win the state without him on the ballot now? >> well, he won the state twice. if you remember the policies that is why he endorsed me. ted would never waver on america first policies. those are the policies that led to 1.4% inflation. joe biden has 8.3% inflation. gas was about $2 and now $3 or $4. groceries unaffordable and parents to choose between groceries or gas in just a couple of weeks ago back to school clothing. it is our numb people out there. the biden/beasley policies will make things harder for north carolina in spirit and what i want to do it will make things easy for north carolina. a stark difference between the difference. >> dana: course meant ted budd

it is a race to watch. thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: in the meantime, more questions than answer in the murder of a mother in georgia. mistry only runs deeper when we show you what we have learned thus far. nancy grace gets a closer look at that case. >> i'm scared for my family and it puts fear in me. go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.

naked and burned many, many miles from her home. nancy grace, host of "crime stories" and fox nation. nancy, nice to see you. a couple of things to get into but the first question, what is going on here? what happened? >> i think that death of deborah is not random. there is no way, think about it, though someone is coming into burglarizing or rob or carjack her, they would number one if it is a burglar leave immediately if they see somebody home or kill him right there and get the hay out of the air. who goes through the trouble of taking her 60 miles away to tallulah falls, tallulah gorge and burn her body, carrying it down a ravine trying to burn it giving up halfway through. they have a tarp and a tote bag and had to create a fire. that is what we call staging. it tells me this is not random.

daughter, amanda? who thought about the flower pot? who would have that knowledge? and why would they bother with a hoax of suggesting she is still alive? and another thing, who would park that rented vehicle that deborah was using right there on the highway where anybody could see it? and then go all the way down the hill. start a fire and tried to burn her naked body? where are her close? you wonder, was she taken during the night? >> bill: great questions, nancy. stay on the case and we know you will and we will see you in the coming days. nice to see you, dana. >> dana: bill, this is horrifying video of a tractor-trailer seen here flying off of an overpass and bursting into flames. the truck driver was killed after colliding with another car on the road. but then flipping 180 degrees to the surface road below. the driver was delivering
