>> with just over six weeks until midterm elections. candidates across the country are making their final pushes on the campaign trail and on capitol hill. house minority leader kevin mccarthy announcing the republicans commitment to america plan with his sights set on his party flipping the house in november. welcome to fox news live, i'm aishah hasnie. griff: we've got some of the

closely watched races as they go to austin for the festival. and live to new york, we kick things off with things on the ground with the festival. hey, casey. >> hey, good to see you. both sides and both parties represented here at this annual texas tribune festival in austin, i've got to say a fa variety of topics have been covered, policing to education, the republican governor of west virginia, glen youngkin predicts the g.o.p. will do well. and hillary clinton was here yesterday and had a lot to say about former president trump, including that mar-a-lago raid. listen. >> did not find one piece of paper of any kind marked classified, zero.

and so, you know, i don't know what to make of what he did. i find it deeply disturbing. the bottom line is what the heck was he doing with that material of the. >> and of course, there is also most certainly some campaigning that is going on here, especially today for the race in texas governor. republican incumbent greg abbott is ahead in the polling, but today his democratic challenger beto o'rourke, he's going to be holding an event here at the festival as it wraps up. after today, republican congresswoman flores who is fighting to keep her seat down texas, and a lot of moving parts as we get closer and closer to the midterms. . griff: casey stegall live for us in austin. aishah: the pressure is on where candidate john

fetterman's health has been the focal point of his conscientious face-off with dr. mehmet oz. the latest on that race, hey, nate. >> yes, after suffering a stroke in may, fetterman is on the campaign trail and won't debate dr. oz until two weeks before election day and the conditions are up in the air and may threaten that entirely. fetterman is holding a rally in philadelphia right now. we have a live look at it and he's expect today take that stage momentarily and he's joined by democratic congressman dwight evans. this is a city where dr. oz has spent a lot of time recently. he held a crime round table here early this week, on monday. now, this is fetterman's first campaign stop in philadelphia. that led the philadelphia inquirer to ask why. dr. oz claims he has the answer, listen here. >> i'm covering an area that mostly democrats should be covering because it's democratic voters. why don't they go there? because they're ashamed of their policies not working.

when john fetterman says he wants to have legalization of all drugs and heroin sites, and you have kensington all over pennsylvania. >> and this as john fetterman backed tax increases on pennsylvanians. if elected to the senate he will vote for more tax increases and reckless spending. americans are struggling to keep up and fetterman would make things even worse. now, fetterman continues focusing on abortion and he wants dr. oz to reveal how he would vote on a 15-week national abortion ban. fetterman also focusing on criminal justice reform and ending what he calls a moral price gouging and decreasing the cost of health care. dr. oz says if fetterman is healthy enough to campaign, then they should be able to debate. separate from this, for the first time in decades, pennsylvania voters won't see a debate between their candidates for governor.

democrat josh shapiro and doug mastriano, and pennsylvanians won't see a debate in either of these. aishah: a state to watch, thank you, nate. griff. griff: and for years, the federal reserve forecast for pain ahead comes as democrats and republicans have their midterm message in the state of the u.s. take a look at this. and we're going to go-- sorry, a prompter problem there, lucas. we want to check in with you, sir. what's happening? >> good afternoon from wilmington, delaware, griff, where president biden is watching his granddaughter's field hockey game today and where the s&p 500 is down 17%. he addressed the nation's largest union yesterday in the nation's capital, filled with

public school teachers, many blamed for keeping schools closed to in-person learning during the pandemic. president biden didn't mention education much, instead, he focused on politics and hitting the g.o.p. >> the house minority leader, kevin mccarthy, went to pennsylvania and unveiled what he calls a commitment to america. now, that's a -- a thin series of policy goals with little or no detail republicans are going to pursue if they regain control of the congress. >> now, griff, here are the four new pillars rolled out by the g.o.p.'s top brass yesterday, quote, an economy that's strong, a nation that's safe, a future built on freedom and a government that's accountable. not mentioning the g.o.p.'s four pillars, but part of their preamble to what they're calling their quote, commitment to america, and propelled glenn youngkin to victory in

virginia. and they accuse woke in the way of basic math and history. across the country, the americans are feeling squeezed by higher prices at the stores brought on by 40-year high inflation and president biden took office inflation was just 1.4%. today, inflation is at 8.3%. it was already at 7.9% when russian forces invaded ukraine, more than half of americans say inflation is causing them financial hardship. and one in four families are cutting back on their spending. including perhaps you, too, griff. and the house minority leader rolled out in the battle ground state of pennsylvania. >> they control washington, control the house, the senate, the white house, they control the committees, they control the agencies. it's their plan, but they have no plan to fix all the problems they've created. >> americans have lost over $4,000 in annual income according to new studies by the heritage foundation, which is making it very difficult for

americans to plan meals, to have dinner and also to plan tailgates at the grove, oktoberfest celebrations around the country, griff. griff: tailgates are important and live for us in wilmington, thanks. aishah: for more on inflation and the different crises we're faced in the country we're joined by the republican from kansas, in the studio with us. thanks for coming in on saturday. i want to start with where lucas finished up, inflation, this is still the number one concern for american voters. the fed just raised rates and larry summers says only going to get worse before it gets better. so what is the senate republican plan to fight inflation? we saw kevin mccarthy come out with his plan. where are the senate republicans at right now. >> we've got to stop the spending and keep taxes lower and roll back regulations as well. this is absolutely the number one issue that i hear out on

the campaign trail in my town halls as well as people concerned about the cost of groceries and the cost of gasoline. and the scary thing is, joe biden is doubling down on his policies. i don't see inflation coming down soon. energy leads inflation, a third of the inflation rate which was quadrupled. and this president is doubling down on his restraints on energy. >> will we see a plan from republican senate the same way that republicans come out with one? right now the white house picks apart senator rick scott's plan which leader mcconnell is not completely in support of. are we going to see a plan? >> well, we're certainly going to look at the future speaker mccarthy's plan and certainly i'm standing in line. we'll all be standing in line to get rid of 87,000 irs agents. beyond that, i think he outlines what we're for and remember, this election is absolutely a referendum on joe

biden, it's a referendum on his policies and we need to tether those democrat candidates to him. we need to keep the voters focused on this, this is going to be a referendum on the prices of gas and groceries, referendum on the open border and referendum on the economy and lastly, a referendum who controls our schools. so, we'll see. certainly he reflects many of the things that we're for, a strong economy, lowering inflation, secure borders, the basics of a strong economy. aishah: just to put a button on this, will senate republicans release their own version of this into america? will we actually see a plan? >> i don't think that we have to write out a formal plan. i think you hear us talking about it every day the things that we're for, a strong economy, smaller government, stronger military, standing up for our god given constitutional rights and traditional american values, like faith and family, education, hard work. aishah: i know, leader mccarthy has kind of put a warning out to the house that we will not

vote for this continuing resolution to fund the government if there's no border security a part of this deal. how do you feel about that? is the government going to shut down on friday? >> it just may, this is more inflationary spending by joe biden and i'm not for it. on top of the usual and customary spending of the federal government which is too much, he wants another 40 or 50 billion dollars, i certainly will use whatever leverage we can to get more funding to actually go in there and secure the border. aishah: it looks like there's going to be a test vote for senator manchin's permitting form bill. your thoughts, do you support it? >> that's going to go down. i don't think they have 60 votes in the senate. it's very-- it's all about joe manchin and west virginia on his permitting and it's all about one pipeline for him. but not about permitting for the rest of the country. this doesn't go nearly far enough. i expect it to go down, that cr continuing resolution is going to go back to the house and then we'll get it back probably late friday. aishah: let's talk midterms for a second.

just 44 days out and the senate is really still a tossup. if we can pull up the most recent fox news power rankings, it shows that republicans are expected to take just about 51 seats here with a two-seat margin of error, shouldn't these be easy seats to pick up, considering the state of the country with where inflation is right now? >> well, certainly, in america, nothing is easy, and it shouldn't be easy, but i'm optimistic that we can get to 53. again, as long as would he stick to this referendum on joe biden, i think we have a great chance. i've done over 100 town halls and what i hear two or three weeks ago is typically what the polls are reflecting now. i've never seen voters so angry and so frustrated with the president that wants 87,000 new irs agents and wants to forgive loans and seeing record numbers of people out there. every time joe biden opens his mouth, it inspires them to get out and vote. and the polls are moving in the

right direction. aishah: privately senator leadership says they're concerned about the states where they need to hold the ground rather than flip the seats. what states are you worried about? >> i am a note worried about any of them. i feel confident in ohio and north carolina, and marco rubio is doing great in florida. we used to be talking about that all the time. aishah: wisconsin. >> we've take florida off the map and i'm excited i think that ron johnson, not a harder fighter than ron johnson and i think we're moving in the right direction. pennsylvania we were worried about about a month ago, that's closing, and again we've got a great candidate. they've got a horrible candidate. who is going to vote for a person in a hoodie. a lot to talk about as we get to the final sprint before the midterms, thanks for joining us, senator. >> thanks great to be with you. griff: from the other side of the aisle we're joined by the democratic congressman from texas, al green, thank you for

taking time on senator. i want to start where house minority leader kevin mccarthy laying out the g.o.p. plan and among other things, in his announcement, he said this. take a listen. >> if you trust us, hold us accountable. we'll put it out to the entire country, this is what we'll do. but on that very first day that we're sworn in, you'll see that it all changes, because on our very first bill, we're going to repeal 87 first irs agents. [app [applause]. . griff: congressman, your reaction to the g.o.p. >> i'll react to the slogans. a strong economy as a plan, that's a slogan that you want the nation to be safe. who doesn't? it's a slogan. you want to build a future based on freedom, well, that's original, and told the government accountable.

i suppose that means he'll be going down to florida to make sure that those secret documents that have been taken from the white house and other places where they were secured, that they're no longer secured and there ought to be some accountability. we're not going to vote for people based on slogans, show us the plan and not the slogan. griff: and i want to bring in trump even though he's not on the ballot. and mccarthy if he's elected speaker, to stop the army of irs agents that have a lot of americans, middle class, tax paying americans and many perhaps live in your district worried that they're headed for undue criticism and undue audits and the like. do you want to respond to that? >> and that will bring down inflation, bring down gas prices, that will bring down the price of bread and food markets. griff: harassing tax paying

americans will bring down inflation, is that what you're saying. >> it's no secret that people have disdain for the irs. it's no secret and if that's the plan, then i'd like to see how that plan is going to impact all of these things that are really impacting the economy. it's-- it makes little sense to allow people to tell you that that's a plan and not ask the follow-up question, how do you plan to do that? when a person says to you, that we're going to have a stronger economy, you've got to follow up and say tell me how do you plan to do that? i'm not going to vote for you because you say you're going to have a strong economy. you can call a cow a horse, but it's not. griff: okay. >> put it in the kentucky derby and see how well it will function. griff: great analogy. listen, your colleague marshall said inflation will not come down because the administration continues spending. how do you see democrats getting inflation under control

by continuing to spend? >> i think we ought to talk about the spending that my colleagues continue to mention. when we were in the midst of a pandemic, people were out of work. people needed food on the table. we provided that. people needed to make sure that they could stay in their homes and not be evicted, we provided that. people need today make sure their children were taken care of that they got shots in arms, we did the things necessary to protect the people in this country and prevent this country from going into a depression. unfortunately, that is a worldwide problem with inflation, it's not something that's peculiar to the united states of america and if we had not had a global pandemic, and we had not had putin to move into ukraine, we didn't have the supply chain problems we've had, we wouldn't be having this conversation about inflation. griff: congressman, you talk about protecting americans. let's talk about the border. it's clearly a crisis with unprecedented numbers.

you're a congressman from texas, how important is the issue of the border and immigration in the midterm elections and what do you propose is done about it? >> it's always important. i propose what has been properly proposed by republicans, president bush proposed it, and that is to deal with the comprehensive immigration plan. my colleagues across the aisle see comprehensive immigration as a berlin type wall, how did that work? we have to do more than conclude we're going to wall people out of the country. there are problems in our neighborhood and we need to help solve those problems. we solve problems all over the world. we've got to solve problems in our neighborhood. those persons south of the border are our neighbors, they're not just a work force. we ought not to see them as a work force, we see our neighbors to the north as partners for business purposes and now we have our neighbors at the south as a source of cheap labor. they've got to be more than a source of cheap labor for the country.

griff: we'll see if that immigration legislation comes, just in the last is a seconds i've got. are we headed for a government shutdown or will the house come up with a cr next week? >> i believe we'll come up with a cr next week. i don't know that there will be a broad-based republican support for it, but democrats want to keep this government open and the economy moving. and we're going to do it. by the way, the drug costs are going down for seniors. the cost of insulin is down for seniors, things are happening that are going to benefit this country. it's hard work. adults have to get it con-- done and we're the adults in the room. griff: thank you for joining us as always. and tomorrow on fox news sunday shannon bream has interviews with from new york elise stefanik and democratic senator joe manchin. you don't want to miss that. check for time and channel.

>> well, it's that time of the year, a turbulent time for the tropics with hurricane fiona making landfall in canada and issuing advisories for tropical storms ian, gaston, and hermine. and more from your fox weather forecast. >> as you said, it's finally beginning to pick up here as it began as a quiet start to the season and as you have said, a post-tropical system now, fiona, lifting into canada and there's winds with this system and dealing with it, stretching into new england and maine and into canada. it's going to continue to make that move and even though it never touched u.s. landfall. we're feeling that, with the

rip currents stretching from florida into new england because the seas were so choppy as it made that move by bermuda ultimately lifting into canada. now, the season continues and where we're looking at next. we have tropical storm ian spinning with winds at 45 miles an hour, moving to the west currently at 15 miles an hour, so that means it's tracking over towards mexico. we are expecting a turn in this system and that is when you start to think, well, where is this going to head as far as the states go? it's going to intensify lifting up the caribbean towards cuba, pay attention to the time stamp, tuesday, and then ultimately wednesday, with a turn over to florida. still a wide area there. this is very early in the forecast and entire western side of the state and including the big bend in the panhandle and paying attention to. this is a storm that we're tracking closely as it makes the move. as you've said a lot of different tropical systems out there. we're kind of firing up to a

point where they're shooting off the coast of africa and when this one finishes up, more will be to come so we'll be watching it. aishah. aishah: every in florida should be paying attention to what's coming up. meteorologist adam klotz, thank you. griff: florida governor ron desantis declaring a state of emergency for 24 counties as tropical storm ian strengthens. the latest on the conditions there, hey, max. >> hey there, griff. well, right now it's looking pretty sunny and looking pretty nice, but things are about to change here. now, not only has governor desantis requested the emergency declaration for 24 counties here, and that would unlock federal resources and put the national guard here on standby. today, it's calm and it's going to be picking up here pretty soon. now, this storm has the potential for dangerous storm

surge, flash flooding, winds, heavy rainfall and isolated tornados. and emergency officials say now is the time to prepare and know if you're in an evacuation zone. a zone where there's a threat of being inundated and flood waters. people should run from the water and hide from the wind. florida provides evacuation assistance to people with medical conditions and florida is urging people who need help to register now so they can get out in time. food and water is quickly disappearing from store shelves in the fort myers area and some gas stations are already running out of fuel. we talked to some folks who are gassing up. >> i'm trying to get ready for this thing coming. it's not the first time, so i know. >> you know, i will try to get the fuel, propane, just in case the power go off, you know, we can cook and we can pass through all of this. it's not the first time, so i live in this state for 29 years, so--

>> nasa is announcing today, they're scrubbing the armis moon rocket. that launch was expected on tuesday from cape canaveral. they'll now be pushing it back inside into its shelter as florida braces for this storm. back to you. griff: we've got a segment coming up on that canceled launch. max gore done live for us. as the storm intensifies, you can follow the update on the fox weather app, download the app. aishah: thousands of people this puerto rico are without power nearly a week after hurricane fiona barreled into the island territory. puerto ricans are helping with the cleanup and a number of businesses including grocery stores and gas stations are being forced to temporarily close. all of these are sparking concerns about the availability of basic goods like fuel.

>> as russian forces launched new strikes on ukrainian cities, stage referendums are underway in occupied areas of ukraine. some reports indicating locals are being forced to vote under gun point. this as protests in russia grow in response to putin's partial military mobilization. and fox news correspondent trey yingst reports from ukraine. hey, trey. >> good afternoon, there are so many russian men trying to leave the country right now that neighboring finland plans to close borders to russian

tourists in the coming days. >> lines of cars were seen not only at the finnish borders, but kazakhstan and georgia, this after president vladimir putin ordered the partial mobilingization of 300,000 reservists. russian media believes it could be one million. the matter is not that we're afraid, the matter is our dislike of the situation. the man at the border says, i do not like what they're doing in ukraine. the decision to call up more reservist have pushback as middle aged men are shipped and may receive two weeks of instruction before headed to ukraine. and it's creating more pressure for president putin who threatened to use nuclear weapons as the war continues. and putin is trying to have more victories across ukraine and why the referendum voting is underway in eastern and southern ukraine that would

formalize the annexation of this territory from the perspective of the russians, though both the ukrainians and western allies call this process a quote, sham and illeg illegitimate. there were fresh protests in moscow, and women in black clothing coming to the streets and protesting against sending their husbands and sons into battle as president putin signs a law that could imprison people for 10 years if they refuse to fight for their unit. griff: trey, thank you. aishah: griff, for more on ukraine's counter offensive and russia's partial mobilization is the senior of the armed forces. daria, what a thrill to have you in the studio with us. you're leading a delegation that's visiting with congress, this just past week. we'll get to that in just a

second. the president putin's recent threats to be using nuclear weapons. how serious should we be taking those threats. >> hello, it's a pleasure to be here. i'm a surgeon armed forces and i've been in the armed forces since 2018 and now we're here in the u.s. to talk to american government, american people, to share our experience and to make people know that we are fighting, we will-- we are ready to win this war. the question is, the price and sure, we want to win with less casualty rate, to save our civilians and that's why we are looking for help with more heavy weapons and for your question, thank you. if to ask how serious should we take the threat, of using the nuclear weapons by russia. from my side, i can say we

should take it seriously because actually they can do anything. they are mad enough, but it doesn't mean that we are going to give up and it doesn't mean that we are afraid, okay, we're afraid as people because we are, we have our families there. >> right. we have our friends, our brothers, sisters, and children, and they are all under attack now, but still, we are ready to fight and we are sure for serious response from all civilized world. if something like this happens. aishah: you have been fighting with all of our heart and soul and that is the reason, perhaps, for this response from president putin, the huge ukrainian wins earlier this month taking back regions in kharkiv, successful counter offensive. how were the ukrainian forces able to do that.

>> first of all, i can say that our soldiers are really motivated because we have our home and that's the answer for everything, we have no option to give up. we had just to win. and also, we are really grateful for all the people in the world that support us and especially, too, u.s. government and people for the huge support and with powerful weapons they gave us. for example, the himars systems, they are super successful and super accurate. actually, my position is a sniper school instructor, so i can tell that himars should be compared to sniper rifle with a rocket because it can fly far away. aishah: wow. >> and it can be super accurate. so we're sure that we can hit russian objects like military bases, ammunition stores, like their supplies routes.

so we can hit it with low risk of hitting some civilian infrastructure because it's our territory, it's our people, and we would much all want them to be safe. >> so you're here to tell congress, your weapons that you're sending us are working. >> yeah. aishah: to show them that they're working. is congress, is the u.s. doing enough to help you win this war? >> that's not what i can judge because i don't know much about what is going on in diplomatic area. i know-- >> are they giving-- >> i know they're very supportive and we talk to people in congress in the department of defense, in pentagon. we can say that they are really supportive and they understand the threat and what's going on. so, we're received some good news for us, and we are really grateful for what we've heard. being here for me, it's like being among friends. that's what i felt.

aishah: that's good to here. >> inside and speaking to congressmen and women. and we're grateful for that. aishah: we're grateful for you to come into the studio and brave, brave, and i couldn't believe that 25% of the ukrainian military are women. incredible fact. thank you, we appreciate the update. >> you thanks for having me. griff: aishah and daria, great interview. and police efforts across the country are partially blamed for spiking crime rates, particularly in big democrat-run cities. we'll talk to one man who wants to turn that around next.

>> i think we've done a great job of putting benchmarks and guardrails in, lowering some things, to make sure that communities are safer and that's the one thing that i don't want us to lose sight of. we have to make sure that the american people are safe and that's what they're asking for in rural communities, small communities, and urban communities. griff: that was representative joyce beatty, from ohio. and here, the cops direct founder, and thank you very

much. and your reaction to what the house has passed. will that help with the spiraling crime happening across our country? >> here is my opinion on it. the first thing, that's outstanding that we're providing law enforcement with body cameras. i think that's great for the civilian and for the police officer as well. it's great to have additional overtime and incentives, however, my question is, where are we providing law enforcement with the ability to go out there and save lives and work to protect our community that way? and that's what cops direct is doing. on the other side of it, is providing law enforcement agencies that don't have the funding with the critically needed trauma care equipment that they need so they can save their own lives and civilians across the nation when the call comes. griff: so we're seeing communities trying to stand up their own police forces in lieu of not having enough officers on the street and you're going out there and specifically what are you doing?

>> so what cops direct does is we field requests from law enforcement agencies across the nation, doesn't matter if it's washington, florida or anywhere in between. they're telling us exactly what they need in the realm of first responder trauma care equipment, so that they can equip their officers so that when the call comes and there's a shooting, a school shooting, let's think about our kids for second or a bad vehicle accident, whatever it could be, they've got the equipment with them to render aid in that moment where individuals are hanging on the cusp of life and death and it's important to note the average e.m.s. response time, bless our paramedics, can be over 15 minutes in eastern areas, when a cop is on scene often in minutes and that's the difference between someone coming home alive and not making it at all. cops direct is making a difference, it's a nonprofit. griff: and good on you for doing that. take a snapshot of san

francisco, new york, philadelphia, facing crime. seattle lowest number of police officers in 30 years. new york city 38% more officers leaving the force than last year. and philadelphia almost 20% target police force staffing. is this problem, in your estimation, one that is going to get worse or is enough being done to deal with it? >> i think that the problem is going to get worse until we as a nation turn and appreciate what law enforcement does. everybody wants to vilify law enforcement until it's that individual's time to call 911 and rely on that person to come and rescue them, save their life, protect them. and so, what we need to do is turn the tables. i'll be the first to say to every cop out there, and to their families, thank you for what you do. we are are here at cops direct to empower you to save lives and come home in one piece at the end of your shift. once we do that, and appreciate what they do. we don't vilify firefighters, but we certainly do like to

vilify cops and we're the first ones to say, cops, you're outstanding, thank you for keeping our nation safe and we're here to have your backs. griff: officers have been saying for the last several years, don't vilify us, we're not the bad guy, but yet, obviously, we have seen the end result. i want to play quickly, we put together a sound bite of some democrats, now we're 44 days from election and they seem to be singing a different tune now in campaign ads previously when they want today defund the police. here is a sampling. >> i swore an oath to the constitution to put country first before party and to get things done. increase police funding. but kim is different, she listens to us and she delivers. it's kim who got more money for law enforcement. i thought it was a joke because i knew for a fact she would never defund the police. griff: in the last few seconds, aaron. too little too late or will this help? >> of course it will change their narrative when they're on

their heels. i say this, america, donate to cops direct to tell our law enforcement. let's cops direct, let's fund cops direct so we can fund the police and we've got your backs. politicians will say whatever people want to hear and we're out there with law enforcement. don't donate to politician, donate to cops direct to provide the law agencies what they need and we're doing it free. griff: and you see copsdirect.org on the bottom of your scene. thanks for joining us on a saturday. >> thanks, griff, have a great day. griff: aishah. aishah: former president trump slamming the media for ignoring the killing of a north dakota teenager, who was said to be part of an extremist group. ♪ any way ♪

homicide and leaving the scene of a fatal crash. they say it's a dui related incident and they say that he hit and killed taylor ellington, 18 years old. the teen called his mother and said that brandt was chasing him. and according to state radio he hit the pedestrian and that the pedestrian was part of a republican extremist group. however, authorities will not confirm that ellington belonged to an extreme group that led up to his death. >> when brandt called 911, maybe there was political motivation to what was occurring, we haven't been able to corroborate that at all. >> either way, the republicans are calling to an end of extreme and divisive rhetoric. earlier this month, president biden told his base that donald trump and maga represent

extremism that threatens the foundation of our foundation. >> maga republicans made their choice embrace anger, they thrive on chaos. >> the left, it's ironic, they're the people who told words matter and beware of hate speech and don't generalize, and when the president of the united states say 75 million maga people live in shadow of lies what do you do. >> and investigating the claims following the disturbing and deadly incident. aishah: i hope they can get to the bottom of it, christina coleman, thank you. griff: fallout after president biden speaks to one of the largest and wokest labor unions that some argue is trying to promote a progressive agenda next. goals. wow... we can make this work. it can help you reach them with confidence. no wonder more than 9 out of 10 of our clients
