be funny? >> steve: my dad? anyway, welcome to new york. and a big show, thank you very much. we have some pants in front of the building holding up umbrellas. >> ainsley: it is certainly rainy out there. i'm sorry for them. i'm glad everybody is waking up this morning and it's going to be a good day. >> steve: meanwhile, not so good in florida because the death toll from hurricane is now above 100 as the rescue crews work around the clock looking for still survivors. >> ainsley: 430,000 in florida still without power this morning as one resident compares the damage to a war zone. >> brian: alexandria hoff on the ground in fort myers, alexandria, what is up? we continue to see this morning just dozens of emergency vehicles racing in and out of fort myers, trucks with backhoes

on them in lines and lines of ambulances with the task at hand here is clear. it is very somber, the latest tally that we have with the death toll 104 with 97 here in florida. most of those concentrated in the very area we are now fort myers. for those who survive the trauma, it is all-consuming. cheryl weiss told the news press "it is the most horrible thing in the world really. it is a war zone. i couldn't believe any of it. there was most possible way i could recover in everything i worked for my whole life is gone. from a statement like that best understood yesterday, we got it exclusive look at the wreckage on's animal island and elsewhere. completely decimated by hurricane ian. sanibel in and out washed away in the storm. we accompanied the florida national guard and blackhawk helicopter with drop-offs of heavy machinery and supplies on the island which is accessible by car. >> the bridges are completely

washed out here are the only way to get there is by air, helicopter over vote. we have been used for moving pallets and pellets of water in the semi trucks to bring supplies and moving them over as fast as we can. we are here to support as long as needed. >> now, if this is disheartening, four people arrested by lee county sheriff's office alluding through damage caused by hurricane ian. they face charges of burglary and grand larceny. still some of the hardest hit barrier islands the power could take weeks even months, but the work so far has made major strides. we know there are 400,000 people across the state without power with the initial number 2.5 million. tomorrow president biden will come here to assess the damage, guys. >> steve: alexandria, now that people are going back to their areas and taking a look, a lot of them are realizing they are

not covered for water because generally, homeowners insurance doesn't cover flooding. so you have to buy national flood insurance. i was reading this morning, i think, tampa bay and only a third in that region had that sort of coverage. >> yeah, i've heard that from people on the ground. i think they are in the state of shock taking the pictures and doing the steps they would take as if they were perhaps covered in the hopes they will receive some kind of assistance. they will look to fema for a lot of this but we've also seen that they will look at their home and this could be the second home. if they basically don't know where to go at this point. >> thank you so much. >> brian: they say they can't get a mortgage without insurance and then they get a letter before sandy a year before, you know what, we don't think you are in a flood zone so you don't

need it. thankfully, i would just keep it but thank goodness, 3 feet of water and so did my whole neighborhood but the ironic thing the same amount of money that didn't have flood insurance as the people that did have. >> ainsley: how is that? >> brian: because fema stepped in and fill out the criteria. >> ainsley: that happen here? >> brian: yeah, the thing is you want to make people whole again. but at the same time for flood insurance, you have to get the same amount of money whether you have it or not. >> ainsley: have to hope that fema will step in. >> ai>> steve: tens of thousandf floridians will be ruined because they didn't have flood insurance. state law does not require it but if you have a mortgage, they will say "you know what, you will have to have it." it doesn't cover the full cost a lot of these homes completely wiped off of the map. >> ainsley: if fema does not

cover at ron desantis will get involved. >> brian: election day just weeks away. >> brian: the president of the united states coming wednesday to florida. on monday he went to puerto rico to visit to see the aftermath of fiona. keep in mind puerto rico has been clearer because it got hit twice during the trump administration. then we looked an exam at where a lot of the money aid comes from the mainland to the commonwealth. a lot of us got caught up in corruption and it never goes to the people that needed the most beer that bothered president trump, it will give you money but only if you use it for the roads. so at that time joe biden wanted to disseminate himself and said i have given you all the money you need unlike the previous guy. that was noteworthy but what he said after that still has me befuddled. >> i come from real estate, the real estate of delaware. it's not like the congressmen

are from new york. she is from a big state. but we have your relative terms a large puerto rican population in delaware. relative to the population. we have the eighth largest population and between all minorities 20% of the state is minority. so, i was sort of raised in a puerto rican community at home politically. so when we came here for a long time, both for business and pleasures... be one of "the new york post" looked into this where he said i was sort of raised in the puerto rican community, delaware politically. when he was starting his career 50 years ago, only 2,000 people puerto rican ancestry lived in delaware. and he has never mentioned any connections before yesterday to the community or the particular puerto rican community. >> ainsley: so bizarre comic

so bizarre. five weeks until the mid terms of this will affect you when you go to the polls. gas prices are going up again, we hate to tell you. gas prices are spiking on the west coast and california have, today the gas price, the average gas price $6.41. last week $5.88. look at all the other states too, nevada, oregon, they were alaska, washington and arizona. >> brian: and earlier, he was saving a lot of this goes into making green and make it more environmentally friendly. they put these ads and to boost the price and the gas tax plus the fact i don't really want to build any more gas stations. they want you upset about the gas prices. so, you know, you take paycheck to paycheck. >> ainsley: if you are poor, you cannot afford that. the largest porous community in

the country, he says. >> steve: because you have to have that super green plant of gas out there, there are three refineries off-line. so we do supply and demand. if the supply is tight, the prices go up. that is why three months of the price is going down, some stations are up a dollar a gallon in the last couple of weeks. here is to work on how it is impacting you. >> the spike in gas prices by far and away the worst in california as you just pointed out. it is $6.41 a gallon and that is at $0.50 per gallon in a matter of days. this hurts the poor people of california. california has the highest population in the nation. people don't know that but they do. what is going to happen when those people have to pay $6.41 for a gallon of gas? remember, people in california driving electric cars are paying

through the nose. isn't this an embarrassment for president biden? >> ainsley: feeling the pain of this administration incompetence, right? opec is holding a critical meeting in vienna and cut production if they drive the price of oil even higher. it could be 2 million barrels per day, which will be a big blow for the white house. >> steve: wright, remember during the summer president flew to saudi arabia to increase production by 100,000 barrels, which is a drop in the bucket. think about it, if they cut up by 2 million barrels and given the fact when he opened up a million barrels a day for the strategic petroleum reserve, there are a lot of people who analyzed the petroleum markets and say saying, "what saudi arabia is doing is a little payback towards joe biden." and it could not hit democrats at a worse time. here we are five weeks out from election and the prices going up

$1 and a couple of weeks, california per gallon? people are going to notice. >> brian: it didn't pay off but keep in mind too, one of the reasons the administration wants to cut a deal with iran to back away from sanctions and bring the price down to make things look better for the president of the united states because he knows high gas prices or death for a politician. the other thing to keep in mind also so we are a week away from prices going down but then vladimir putin that keeps dragging on, though putin price hike again but please don't fall for that. >> steve: all he would have to do is say, you know what we will open up certain lands to the oil leases and the market would suddenly drop the price of oil and it would be great for the democrats, but unless you are an environmentalist and you will go "hey, joe biden is caving and i'm angry at him for doing that but for the people have to pay for their gas, they would go, hey, let go." >> ainsley: he has dipped into

the reserves five times and he may need to do it again but that won't last forever. >> brian: there were two things going on right now and i'm all for supporting ukraine but we have weapon stock but we don't. number two coke i'm for low gas prices. this is not the emergency the strategic oil reserve. what is the plan to fill it up again? it puts our country in danger. we have a supply problem and may be a global recession about to take place. wouldn't you like to know we have something for a rainy day? >> ainsley: let's head over to carley with headlines, hey, carley. >> the fox news alert and florida shot and killed early this morning serving a felony warrant related to meth charges at a mobile home near cloak city. a perc procession of deputies te medical examiner's office. the sheriff's office said the victim was just 21 years old. country singer hardy being treated for significant injuries

♪ ♪ >> steve: on this tuesday, as we look at capitol hill, the midterms are five weeks from today. the republicans hoping to reclaim control of both houses in congress.

issues like inflation, crime, driving people to the polls. two senate races, wisconsin ron johnson ahead in his race against democrat mantilla barnes and in pennsylvania republican is nearly within the margin of t democrat john. the political fox news contributor ben domenech, partner and president of lee carter and ceo of the conscious conservative. panel, welcome to the show. >> good to be with you. >> steve: let's start with you since you are in the square next to me. why are the polls tightening in places like pennsylvania? and an wisconsin? >> well, i think what you are seeing is fundamentals reinserting themselves. steve, we talk about people starting to pay attention to the political scene when it comes to these elections later on and perhaps those of us obsessed

with politics. when that happens, a lot of historical patterns tend to reinsert themselves. even though you have a crew this time around of republican candidates who make up essentially a ton of outsiders, people who never held elective office including dr. oz, then you have these kind of fundamental issues of economic concerns, criminal concerns, border concerns and other major issues reinsert themselves as important. that is when people start to focus in and see the historical pattern such as a closed state like pennsylvania reinsert itself. >> steve: felicia, you are down in georgia. i think a lot of people thought stacey abrams would be closer than she has right now. what is going on in your state? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me once again. out in georgia, bc the surge of moderate conservative voters who are looking for a viable option. what we have dealt with is we

presented to conservatives as an option for them to choose this next round. since the inception, we have seen stacey abrams trying to make an appeal to black men in particular and yet, it is not sticking and we see a lot of black male voters and black women saying listen, we are not getting what we went from the democratic party. so that doesn't mean the republican party to present a competing offer. that is where the conscious conservative has come in. we have had great discussions from black voters particularly out in college or just listening to them about their concerns, the primary concerns of the economy, inflation, gas prices, and so many of them are satisfied with the work that brian kemp has done. him being an incumbent is really working for him right now. >> steve: lee, ever since the dobbs decision came down with

the supreme court, that is a motivating factor starting months ago for the democrats. but now we are five weeks away from the midterms. will that continue to motivate democrats and will it be such a movement that it would overwhelm the republicans which are personal security, financial security corma bor, so criminal that? >> there was a time 65% of women said if they were going to vote because of this one issue on dobbs, but what we are seeing right now, americans are more concerned about the economy and more concerned about their safety and about the security. there is a huge amount of pessimism in the country. it's not just about women's rights but about fundamentals, appealing better and hopeful for the children. i think what we are also seeing his republicans are putting forth a plan, a commitment to america. we start to talk about the issues that they will fight

for, what they will do to address inflation, what they will do to address the border, what they will do to address crime. those are the issues most important. rather than what they were doing which is very much saying how bad things are, the democrats, how good things can be. that is a good shift. we are seeing a gain of three-point in the polls since labor day. so i think we are seeing a big ship momentum and the republicans are taking the right strategy right now. >> steve: ben, it comes down to what ronald reagan said years ago if republicans were to say, are you better off today than you were two years ago? and that will determine who you vote for. >> yeah, i think that question for that is no or certainly much more concerned about the economic problem, prospects than two years ago. one thing i would remind you all of is the political advice of the wu-tang clan around me.

the expenditure of cash in this final month is going to be a big determinant. for the reasons the race is getting closer in pennsylvania and dr. oz got his feet under him when it came to raising money. a lot of outside candidates are not used to raising money. former president trump weighs in on their behalf and spends money on their behalf could be the determinant whether republicans end up with the senator or not. >> steve: felecia i will give you 30 seconds. >> listen i'm glad the republican party is making inroads with the other groups. it is a shame they didn't give that same effort to black americans in georgia. nevertheless, the conservatives are here and we will continue to present options to them because we believe in conservatism is tt opportunity for them, especially as we are witnessing what democs are doing in these areas. >> steve: lee carter, you get the final word. >> i'm really looking forward to these last five weeks as both

parties are trying to make their case. democrats are really trying to make this about things being so unfair and trying to level the playing field. the republicans trying to talk about the opportunities and keeping us safe. at the end of the day, it will be interesting to see which case wins the american people. >> steve: five weeks from today the midterms and five weeks from tomorrow, they will be over and then we will start talking about 2024, believe it or not. ben, lee, felecia, we thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> steve: more backlash after president biden coast guard hero rescuing victims of the hurricane, but they will be fired and 30-60 days because of his backseat mandate. one choice us life but bill hemmer joins us with a preview of what happens on his show, good morning to you. >> steve great show the last three hours. we will pick up where you left off, the pain at the pump is back and it could go higher. stay tuned for that. what did north korea launch over
