when he wasn't claiming to have grown up in little puerto rico, he was making no >> i think jill needed to buy a voweevenl even at that point. i'm totally lost. no idea what he was saying p that's it for us tonight. 's beauty we begin with a fox news alert. gas prices rising through a second straight week heading to $3.80 per gallon this morning. prices along the west coast are the highest in the country with california averaging and whopping $6.41 per gallon. the price of los angeles county surging to a record-breaking $6.49. neighboring nevada, oregon, washington all averaging over five bucks for regular. you are watching fox and friends

first on this tuesday morning. i'm currently >> tmorning.this situation looks like it's going to get much worse. opec set to meet to determine whether or not to buy $2 million of barrels per day per that's going to make inflation worse and drive prices up and would be a huge slap in the face to president biden who's been begging saudi arabia at increased output. voters, you really care about this but take a look at this recent fox news poll. 59% of voters say they are extremely concerned about inflation and higher prices. look, opec literally and figuratively has us over a barrel when no pun intended. and it's all because we had the ability to control the oil and gas production but we literally gave it away day one of the biden presidency. we are forwarding our own production. our strategic petroleum reserves are diminished to a point where

we can't rely on it anymore giving them even more leverage from the point where we gave away our pipelines and shut down keystone. opec is looking at this saying hey, america can do anything. what are we going to do? a production bid raise prices even more, make the middle east rich and you americans pour. >> carley: this opec meeting is going to take place tomorrow. last month opec cut production by 100,000 barrels a day and now energy industry analysts are worried that cut could be 1-2000000 barrels and here's what karine jean-pierre said about opec's production cut. >> the focus has been pretty steadfast which has been taking every step to ensure markets are sufficiently supplied to meet demand for a growing global economy and thanks to our efforts we've seen energy prices have declined sharply from their highs and american consumers are paying far less at the pump.

>> carley: you look at just what she said and the reality of the situation where president biden ran on a platform of killing the fossil fuel industry has done just about everything in his power to do just that, from killing the keystone pipeline to limiting gas leases and land leases and really becoming a thorn in the energy industry's side. also, if opec does cut production to this level, this will be a huge diplomatic blow for the president because you remember seeing him going over to saudi arabia, giving the fist bump to the crown prince asking him to increase oil production. that did not happen. more importantly, if they cut 1-2 million barrels coupled with everybody pulling away from russian oil and gas and it's getting colder outside, it will increase prices at home. >> todd: that's going to kill democrats in the midterms. it was one president obama who said my poll numbers rise and

fall with the rise of all gas prices and democrats have no one to blame except for the leader of their party joe biden ruin gas and oil production in our country. that's going to hurt democrats hard-core in the next five weeks november 8th. >> carley: some say these opec nations could be cutting production because biden released barrels from the strategic petroleum reserves. this is sort of their payback which, are you kidding me? we are relying on these opec nations that do not care about the united states, how much we pay, and could increase the amount that we pay just by whatever whim by they want when we have so much of this commodity here at home. i cannot believe in california over one week -- over a one a one-week period gas prices increased $0.59. in alaska i'm a witch is insane because there's a massive oil reserve there, $0.54 just in the one-week period.

oregon $0.43. the concern is these gas prices can go even higher. we talked to so many people struggling to get by because inflation saying that they own a small business or a restaurant or they are just a mom or dad who can afford food right now and everything they've been saying is that's really difficult but thank god that gas prices have decreased because it's giving us a little bit of wiggle room. if it goes up especially over the winter, you have to feel so bad for those people and that the big concern this morning. >> todd: look at california. people have legit commutes in california. when i was in california i lived 10 minutes away from work but it was a 45 minute drive because of traffic so you're using a lot of gas. when you double the cost of your gas, that's going to be a nugget. one final point on the strategic petroleum reserve. where did we sell it, carley? we sold a lot of it to china. you tell me, does that make a lick of sense? they are our number one strategic enemy right now. you can say it's russia but it's really china because china is so involved in our economy in so

many ways, more ways in russia. why did we do that? none of the biden approach to oil and gas makes a lick of sense and it's put up a position we are in. >> carley: gas prices has risen $0.07 per gallon over the past week. we are going to keep an eye on if they continue to rise. not just us, everybody in the country. the country. >> todd: in the world. >> carley: north korea launching a missile over japan for the first time since 2017. japanese official ordering residents to take shelter as sirens blared across the island nation. [sirens blaring] >> todd: fox news and former nations achieve who served in moscow. why did north korea fire this missile and why now?

speaker north korea has fired 31 of these missile tests this year after only seven last year and it's just part of kim jong un's strategy of nuclear extortion fr his economy has tanked, especially after covid. an awful weather which ruined whatever harvests they might've had last year and the year before. so he's preparing the potentially for sanctions relief. i think that's one reason for the other reason, he's got to demonstrate to his own people that his own country is currently on war footing. you got to blame south korea, japan and united states everything wrong with his country even though we know that it's his dictatorial regime which is the cause of his people's hardships. >> there is a lot going on with the war in ukraine. bought me a pollutant annexed four regions in ukraine and nobody outside of him and some of his allies are actually

really believing that's russian territory and proof of that is yesterday ukrainian forces maids in the vacant advances in two of those annexed territories. everything we are hearing right now is good for ukraine and bad for russia. is that the situation on the ground? what happens next? >> well, ukraine has been mounting a blistering counselor offensive and now on their way toas ukraine's victories mount n retaking the territory, that is their's. vladimir the postures regime security grows desperate for that's why you're seeing putin, he threatened the world with the use of nuclear weapons. i've watched his speech on friday and he called the u.s.'s

use of nuclear weapons a preset end. that's got to be great concern. and annexing territory, that's not his, russia has rain down hell on ukraine. this is going to require some significant work on the part of the biden administration to avoid further catastrophe. >> todd: two partner here. how should this be 13 house respond but first and foremost how realistic is this fear? i've heard from many peoples of varying opinions, i'd like to know what you think, dan. >> ukrainian forces are not coalescing in such a way that those tactical nuclear weapons, russia's got out to thousands of them would cause a major change on the battlefield. they blow back literally and cause great harm to russian territory and russian civilians. this is a key requirement for

the intelligence community. it's not as simple as vladimir putin choosing to launch these nuclear weapons. he's got a command-and-control issue. his own people and defense have to sign up on that and i'm not sure they would. i think at this point it's a threat from vladimir putin. we are seeing threats from his national security advisor who served as president as well as the chechen leader. trying to do what kim jong kim n does which is extort us with nuclear blackmail and the biden demonstration needs to stand strong and not let it happening. of fox news alert. recovery efforts continue bit more than community still underwater days after the storm. edge of the state left completely cut off by the storm.

one resident described in the carnage saying, it's like a war zone. i couldn't believe any of it. there's no possible way and the whole world i can recover and everything i work for my whole life is gone. governor ron desantis is praising floridians fosters resilience in the face of what he's calling in 500 years... speak of the people of southwest florida, they are ready to bounce back. they are down there doing it. they have a lot of grit and determination. >> todd: president biden visiting puerto rico yesterday making a surprise claim about having long, long ties to the puerto rican community. listen. >> we had a very relative term, large puerto rican population in delaware. i was sort of raised in the

puerto rican community at home politically. when he came here for a long time both for business and pleasure, you are part of a third court of appeals and i was chairman of the judiciary committee. >> todd: you are somebody who grew up in a puerto rican community. the remarks made by president biden to minority groups in the past. in january he said historically black colleges in atlanta that he had been arrested multiple times protesting for civil rights but there has been no evidence. >> carley: that's going to go viral. somebody is going to cut that on the internet and here you have it. republicans on the house arm services committee on the covid vaccine mandate for arms forces after fox reporting revealed unbacked soldiers being punished for their decision. republicans hammer down on the potential hypocrisy at play

after president biden's recent claim that the pandemic is over. also pointing out that u.s. service members are one of the few groups still subject to termination over refusing to get the job. days after the army reported missing its recruiting goal by 25% this year making 2022 the worst on record in nearly 50 years. google will suppress millions of election-related emails just last month and the g.o.p. is exploring legal options to stop what it's called a clear pattern of bias. >> todd: this only seems to happen one way. all the exclusive details. what the heck is going on here? >> good morning, guys be the rnc is accusing google of marking more than 22 million emails as spam including 358,000 get out the vote messages but take a look at this chart by the rnc, messages successfully delivered

to gmail inbox is from dips to 0% at the end of each month. determine 28th google marked more than 3 million rnc emails as spam before that number surged to nearly 10 million on each of the next two days. rnc chair ronna mcdaniel telling us we are less than 40 days from election day is an important get the vote emails in states that have already started early voting are being systematically sent to spam. big tech tobias is undermining the democratic process and the rnc is exploring legal options to put an end to this clear pattern of bias. spokesperson for google tells me that rnc emails being sent to users' spam folders has nothing to do with party affiliation. these stunning developments come as one company partners with conservative businesses to beat big tech censorship.

started their company at the beginning of the covid pandemic and they say clients come to them hoping to thrive despite some social media platform's oppression of conservatives speech. telling fox news they have "come up of ways to beat censorship and allow conservative businesses to be able to excel at a higher rate than they are now." the company believes big tech has made it more difficult for the average person to gain traction on social media. >> todd: thank you very much. i know i've often wanted to see my football team -- here's a story of that in reverse. the seattle seahawks wanted senate candidate tiffany smiley to stop using their image. featuring her husband and a wounded veteran wearing a seahawks jersey, the jersey was given to him by the team itself as a tribute to his service back in 2014. focused on combating soaring prices as she gains ground on incumbent patty murray and it's not the seahawks.

"seattle times," starbucks telling the conservative to stop using their logos. here's what she had to say about corporate moves against her campaign. >> i don't think it's any coincidence the seahawks, starbucks, "seattle times" has a coordinated attack. i'm talking about issues expecting washington families. i wouldn't be surprised if patty murray worked with these woke corporations to try and bring my ads down because they tell the truth about her failed policies. >> todd: one of the most watched in the country as the g.o.p. looks back to take control of the senate in november. let's get ready to get to one of the best day for the rams. here it is. wild monday night football moment. some idiot running on the field. bobby wagoner lays him out. he's in animal rights protester. >> carley: isn't he having a

carley new polling shows a growing report for governor ron desantis' decision to fly migrants from florida to liberal havens like martha's vineyard. 49% of likely voters support the move while 44% oppose it. comes as new video shows a plane of migrants landing in orange county new york courtesy of the biden administration. local news outlets say three flights arrived last week. it's unclear if any democrats

have spoken out against the move by the white house. >> todd: new york city mayor eric adams moving his migrant center out of the bronx after it flooded with several inches of water this weekend. following the weekend storms, management determined that relocating the center to randall's island is the most efficient and effective path forward but while adams blames the weather the move comes days as progressive congresswoman alexandra cost alexandria ocasio-cortez housing them in her district. the actual president of the democratic party, alexandria collier cortez, the sanctuary socialist, she would welcome all these individuals with open arms. i can't believe she told mayor eric adams they shouldn't be here. >> carley: this whole thing is proving that busing these migrants to new york and also

flying migrants to new york by the biden administration is proving to be a big challenge for liberal cities, sanctuary cities like new york city but that was spot on, can you believe we saw these images of alexandria will cause your alexandria car so cortez weeping saying that his policies were so cruel. look those crocodile tears there and the second that this ten facility it could come to her district she saying, we could maybe handle this better. maybe they shouldn't be what's going on right here. it's a complete example of "not in my backyard." >> todd: if you think mayor eric adams is going to go up against governor kathy hochul and say you need to do something about crime in new york city, look how quickly he caved to a random congresswoman. i call her the ticket talk

congresswoman who is literally never done anything legislatively. >> carley: a lot of pushback saying we don't want this facility here and also the daily mail is reporting that el paso which is run by democrats, they have been working with the biden administration to spend millions of dollars in federal funding busing thousands of migrants to sanctuary cities. is busing migrants inhumane and cruel or is it a totally acceptable thing to do? it depends who's paying for those buses. >> todd: the money for this tent city has already been spent. they aren't going to get the money back. they'll move to randall's is island -- >> carley: they've already been built? >> todd: in process. but all this money has a ready been spent. democrats love to spend, spend your money and no consequences. spee>> carley: confronted

new york city's mayor at the wake. sources say the family of lieutenant pleading him to take a city back as crime spirals in the big apple. stabbed to death in queens after an unprovoked attack in her lunch break. a mourner said -- you know what to do. >> todd: law enforcement advocates are sounding off after the mayor of austin, texas, fall asleep during a funeral for a fallen police officer. slamming the mayor saying "it's very disheartening to have the mayor of the city of boston who is one of the ones who spearheaded the defunding of the boston police department by a third, shows the utmost respect and contempt." they are apologizing saying, i want to express my deepest families. officer martin died ten days ago

and will be honored as a hero. this moment should be about him and his family. all comes as a recent survey highlights only 20% of austin police officers feel the department is well managed in efforts to defund it. senator john kennedy says that this is why so many officers are leaving the force. >> many of my democrat colleagues, particular mayors of major cities, but also this white house, they started this defund and disrespect the police business. they did. they can run from it like a hound from hell, but they started it. and it stuck. it's stuck with our cops. that's why many of them are leaving but some of it is because of pay. but it's because they expect they are political leaders to stand behind them. not if they commit crimes themselves. but if they have to make a split-second decision and put

their lives at risk, the expect their political leaders to stand behind them, not to make them scapegoats. >> todd: violent crime is up since this time this year and the right remains much higher than before pre-pandemic levels. 20 minutes after the hour and a mother and subject to teach or fired from after speaking out about the books her kids were reading in the classroom. >> carley: she standing up for her beliefs and she's suing. you are going to hear from her next

the one a georgia mom who works as a her she says she was fired expressing concern over a book made available to her young student and classroom. the book "all people are welcome" features pictures of same-sex couples bid thanks to the both of you being here. you said that this book violated

your religious beliefs. what happened when you raise the issue to the school? >> it did. i went to the principal, expressed my concern, told her why i have a concern about the book, and within hours i was unable to access my teacher account and pick up club stuff. >> todd: that's how they retaliated against you. you say they also retaliated against your children. how so? >> i feel my concern is they will retaliate. they haven't done anything yet, but in time i think it'll come, my children will pass up on up to her knees this is a county where you have to apply for most things, even a field trip. this is way they will quietly retaliate against our family for making noise. >> todd: interesting. tyson, what happened to religious freedom in the united states of america? >> it's a good question. the first amendment is really strong and georgia actually passed a parent's bill of rights

which actually pretends parents rights to review curriculum and to object anything that shows concern. public schools have no business retaliating against parents for simply expressing concern about their children and the first of them and prohibit that and so does georgia law. >> todd: a key line from your letter to the school says is follow. the firing is intended to send a message to others in the community if they criticize the school's approach to tentative political topics or express viewpoints contrary to the school's preferred viewpoint, they will face the consequences. isn't this part of the left's crusade to literally silence voices they don't agree with? >> i definitely think it is. this is a message to teachers, there are millions of them across the country but millions of people that agree with the position on this topic and yet the school is telling them "you are not welcome in public schools" and that's wrong. that's contrary to the first amendment but contrary to

the goal of public schools which is to inculcate these shared values and pluralistic world views we are trying to inculcate in our children. >> todd: the left claims look how tolerant we are. is the left being tolerant to you here, lindsay? >> no. teachers should never be fired for accessing concerns about what's happening in their children's schools especially when your children are six years old. this is not tolerant and it's not fair. >> todd: last year virginia governor at the time candid and glenn youngkin his election because he raised issues like this and the people of virginia sided with him. here's what he says about education this year driving parents to the polls once again. listen. >> they are worried about not having any choice. i think education is once again going to show itself to be the primary issue in this cycle. parents matter. i think voters will understand state very clearly like they did

last year they are voting for parents' rights in their kids' lives. >> todd: do you agree with that? is that the sense among the parents you associate with? >> absolutely. the ones i've spoken to personally feel the same. >> todd: final question for you from a legal perspective but how have the reasons wins bolstered your case here? >> they deftly send a parent's the teachers that if you are being retaliated against you have the right to stand up and your voice matters and the prism them and is still strong and so if that happens to you that you should take a stand. >> todd: if you do all the unseemly tasks required of raising a child, you know the ones i'm talking about especially when they are an infant, you have a choice over how the child is raised and for the state to come into say you don't is ridiculous and it's important folks like you, lindsay and tyson, are fighting

had been staying there at the hotel for several days. in the room the uncovered bomb making manuals and materials that could be combined to create explosives. >> i have been on the phone with the u.s. attorney's office through last evening and this morning. we are working in conjunction with each other as this moves forward to determine what exactly we are dealing with and what if any additional charges may come from it. >> johnson and his alleged accomplice 26-year-old devin taylor were both wanted on prior felony charges. the suspected shooter has a lengthy rap sheet including being put behind bars for first degree robbery and burglary. being held on $500,000 bail this morning. the suspected shooter is being charged with second-degree murder with no bail. both suspects are set to appear before a grand jury later this week. so senseless.

thousands stranded after the collapse of the only connection between the island and florida mainland. captain nathan waiter, the owner of annabel's for pitching charter remained on the island during the storm and joins me now. we are looking at the images right now. it looks like a bomb went off and we are now hearing that the entire island is going to need to be rebuilt? what was it like to ride out the storm? >> it was definitely a pretty wild ride. we didn't expect the storm to hit us until last minute it seemed like. for the most part people were prepared. but we had water coming in the house. it was probably up to at least 150 miles per hour. >> carley: how much of what you own is destroyed now, na nathan? >> just about all of it. >> carley: what was it like to wake up next morning and see all

this destruction. >> it was very eerie, surreal. usually you wake up to a gorgeous island full of greenery, animals. it was very quiet. it's starting to just clear up in the main drag, the periwound goal. it was just very eerie. >> carley: over 400,000 customers still without power. florida governor ron desantis was on "hannity" last night to talk about his plans to repair center bell island. here's what he had to say. we do not have that sound bite but i can tell you that he says he's all over it. the department of transportation is going to be in bids to temporarily rebuild the bridge that links the island back to the mainland. he's talking about chinook helicopters from the national guard to bring men to the island to get damage repaired. how does it feel when you hear

him talking about rebuilding this island? >> it's amazing the support he has for the island. he knows what that island does for the state and he's... without him we'd be in a lot of problems to be honest with you. even him talking about the chinook pluralists, they've been doing that. they've been flying off every type of atvs, four-wheel lawyers, whatever they can to help get our people there. we'd be in a lot of different problems. >> carley: speaking about a lot bigger problems i know you said this is a crazy situation. i can't imagine how crazy it must've been for you. was there ever a moment of time when you thought to yourself, my goodness, we might not make it out of this. >> we are used to it down here. at some point we all had a plan. the roof came off, the water kept coming up. we were all holding onto each other getting back, to just never let go.

that was our plan. >> carley: you were rescued by the florida ar coast guard? >> they are doing as much as the coast guard is. >> carley: we are so glad you are physically okay but so sorry for what you are going through. thinking of you and everybody else in florida right now. >> we really appreciate it and also all the support. >> carley: thank you for joining us. turning onto this one college doesn't want sign dictating their mask policy. they'd rather rely on an anonymous survey and if one student votes to mask up everyone else has to follow. we are going to tell you what all that is about. >> todd: going to mark on your calendar, carley, it's the american skeet shoot raising money for military nonprofits. you love to skeet shoot.

joining us live patel is all about the incredible event. we should go. it's fun.

my name is ashley cortez and i'm the founder of the stay beautiful foundation when i started in 2016 i would go to the post office and literally fill out each person's name on a label and now with shipstation we are shipping 500 beauty boxes a month it takes less than 5 minutes for me to get all of my labels and get beauty in the hands of women who are battling cancer so much quicker shipstation the #1 choice of online sellers go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free allergy and infectious diseases, which is being run by dr. fauci, granted taxpayer dollars to group run by a controversial

leader, studying conroe in wuhan could have started the pandemic. fauci is criticized for downplaying the lab leak theory amidhis relationship with the researcher. this comes as study finds u.s. government organization sent $28 million in taxpayer money to china between 2015 and 2021. >> todd: that is unbelievable, ridiculous. amherst college is leaving the fate of masks in the classroom up to anonymous survey participates. if anyone taking the survey wants to continue with masks, then masks will be required for everybody.

co-founder of the chicago thinkers is here to react. rhetorical question, who is still wearing masks? if someone wants to wear one, why not let that person wear one without forcing everyone else to? >> you know, this is the most outrageous story, this is one more piece of evidence that university covid policy have had nothing to do with the science. from the beginning had nothing to do with the science. students were forced to go to learning, we were forced to wear useless masks and then take experimental vaccine and booster, students could not see each other in dorm rooms. i have a friend who is deaf and he was not able to understand the professor because faces were covered.
