jane good morning, take a look at the temperatures, it is going to get cold. we're going to see snow across the great lakes. crazy, right? snow is coming. todd is looking at me like what? i wanted to get your attention. potential for showers and thunderstorms for southwest. we have a cold front moving across the plain states and great lakes and coldest air of the san. we're dealing with an area of low pressure that brought rain, wind, yucky stuff to the northeast and mid-atlantic, this is energy from ian that has hung

around and brought nine inches of rain for parts of new jersey. it is finally going to move out today. we have yet another day of inclement weather and gusty winds along the coast. the fall cold front will push far south, bringing temperatures from what they were in a matter of 24 hours and this is going to move across the northeast, the plain states toward the gulf coast friday and saturday, the coldest air of the season and yes, snowflakes for the great lakes and the midwest. here we go, 100 million below average on friday, 185 million below average on saturday and things will start to moderate. just a taste of jack frost. >> todd: you gave you my angry eyes and i try not to use that in the workplace. >> janice: you do pay attention, todd was like, what? >> carley: are you saying todd

is expressive? i didn't know that. >> janice: news flash. i love you guys. >> carley: turning to this, the fbi is promoting ems lieutenant to captain at her funeral today. russo-elling will be laid to rest after being stabbed to death in queens during an unprovoked attack on her lunch break last year. she was a 24-year veteran of fdny. shy was everything we look for in a leader, this posthumous title is for all her -- >> todd: horrific and senseless. democratic mayor of austin, texas, steve adler caught

sleeping at a funeral. i tried to be the strong woman, but this was crushing. my family needed to see him honored, not disrespected, my husband, their father, doesn't get to go to sleep next to me ever again, doesn't get to retire in four years from now. justin berry, senior officer at the austin pd joins me now. justin, after all the ways this mayor has disrespected police from defunding to eliminating stipends, did him falling asleep at a cop's funeral even come as a shock to you? >> it did, actually. just from as on a human level, it is hard to comprehend that a person would fall asleep during a person's memorial service like that, it was shocking. >> here is what the mayor had to

say, i want to express deepest apologies to dr. martin's family, this moment should be about him and his family. is that the best apology he could come up with? >> this is not even a real apology, to not even call officer martin's wife and talk to her personally about it, that in and of itself speaks volumes to how little he truly cares and it shows more empty words out of this mayor time and time again has used funerals or other ceremonial occasions for political opportunity to be seen in photos and it is disgusting, quite frankly. >> todd: bigger picture, why would a mayor who relies on his police force to protect the city is mayor of disrespect and demoralize the department consistently like this? >> no, this has been going on by

him since 2017, it doesn't make sense. it started with riots of 2020s, when he manched with people that assaulted our officers, destroyed our community, looted and vandalized businesses and tried to build distrust with the men and women who proudly wear the badge and sever the city of austin. it is very infuriateing and hard to comprehends that and look at the homicide rates, they are soaring, going through the roof, extreme staffing crisis, we're at staffing levels from 2006 now and you are having to pull officers like officer martin off their primary units and send them back to taking calls on patrol. officer martin was one main dwi officer and worked the motors division making sure we had safe roads and streets and trying to do his best to reduce numerous traffic fatality taking place in

our community. he gave his life to service and i think it is very infuriating that the mayor, who had the oddacity to show up to his funeral in the first place would go there and fall asleep. i think officer martin's wife said it perfectly, how do you find comfort, the sleep during a one-hour funeral service, especially as his daughters poured out their hearts to all of us. it is hard to find polite words for anything at the moment. >> todd: condolences with you and your department, we appreciate it. a horrifying warning for parents before halloween, d.e.a. says drug cartels are targeting your kids with fentanyl pills that look like candy. they found 15,000 of them hidden in a lego box. >> carley: tom holman will tell you what to watch for and what

>> todd: president biden heading to florida this morning to h heur -- tour hurricane ian and meet with governor desantis. >> carley: alexandria hoff live from fort myers beach, good morning. >> alexandria: good morning, yeah, a very somber scene outs here, lee county sheriff will not estimate how many are missing, of the deaths, 55 occurred here in lee county, the hardest hit area across the state. this has been the county where four people have been arrested for looting. warning was issued yesterday morning. >> my message crystal clear,

don't make the fatal error of entering a person's home, you may walk in, very poor choice, you may walk in, you're going to be carried out. i'm not playing. >> alexandria: he added of those arrested, they were in the country illegal. theft of julry and other items, the mayor of martin county said their response crews witnessed different thefts saying, "it was very early and some looting was starting already, but it will get progressively worse," some people were stealing generators, they chained them down and they started stealing gas out of the generators. 300,000 are without power as residents struggle to put their lives back together and governor desantis said this statement caused undue panic.

>> it is our lowest income communities and communities of color that are most impacted, so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity. >> alexandria: the governor's team says fema will be available for all those in need. transportation secretary pete buttigieg offered this. >> there are some folks who see politics where it doesn't need to be. in the end, you need to help everybody based on their need. >> alexandria: is based on their need, buttigieg said some who perhaps lost a primary home rather than a secondary vacation home could be in more need, vice president has been asked to clarify her comments. carley and todd. >> carley: she certainly has, thank you so much. four looters arrested in florida and three of the suspects are

illegal immigrants. >> they try to loot and ransack in the aftermath of a natural disaster. i mean, they should be prosecuted, but they need to be sent back to their home country, they should not be here at all. >> carley: retired acting ice director tom holman joins us. strong words, what do you make of the situation out of florida? >> it just goes back to the open border under president biden. they just hit the one million mark, on top of the four million, they just hit 1 million gotaways, people that came to the country and got away. larnl percentage of them are not criminals, they don't want to be arrested or fingerprinted because past criminal convictions will be found. last 18 months alone, 30,000

arrested, including many of murder. we have a million gotaways, a big percentage come across and escape are criminal. reason they don't turn themselves over, they -- a lot goes back to unsecured border. >> carley: it does, and governor desantis has been saying you loot, we shoot. you would think that telling people not to loot would be noncontroversial stance. then you have this from joy reid, posted a tweet comparing the governor to segregationist; she said he said in 1967, then she adds didn't take desantis long to return to form. what do you make of that

comparison there? >> i'm used to it, been doing this job 35 years. i was ice director, a big population thought i was racist for enforcing immigration law. and call me bigot, for enacting laws they passed. since 2011, they have arrested over 261,000 convicted that committed 453,000 claims, including 800 homicides, 900 kidnapings and sexual assaults. the border is unsafe, criminals from across the border want to enforce border security and protect america doesn't make you racist, it makes you somebody that wants to protect this country. >> carley: on the minds of parents, rainbow colored fentanyl and the d.e.a. is

warning parents across the country about this because halloween is coming up, it looks like candy anden fa,000 multi colored fentanyl pills were found inside a lego box. you touch this stuff and you die, especially if you are little, what should parents know about this? >> well, look, this is whole new low for the cartel, the new generation cartel producing most of this, using precursor from china. they are targeting younger generation, just like e-cigarettes, they made something that taste like candy. some states outlaw them because they are targeting the younger generation. cartels are smart, they are trafficking children and women and moving drugs across the border. sartels are smart and targeting new generation of customers,

they get kids hooked and got a customer for decades, a new low. go back to governor abbott or back to president trump who wanted to designate these cartels as terrorist organizations, we need to target them, dismantle them and only the united states can do that. they own a big part of the military and law enforce mentz. mexican government is corrupt, they bought them off. >> carley: jenkins, texas, a smuggler bust going down right now, just such an incredible reminder of this stuff happening every single moment of everyday now and this is a good situation where smugglers were caught. tom, the number of people and the amount of drugs pouring into

this country undetected, we talked to sheriffs in idaho and they are saying that fentanyl is becoming huge problem in their area. sheriffs across the country are being impacted, they are first responders who are touching this stuff and a lot of them go into cardiac arrest because this stuff is deadly and it is unfortunate, you would think this would be a bipartisan issue, the biden administration is turning a blind eye to this and you have a group of attorneys general across the country demanding president biden take greater action and declare fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction just because of how deadly it is. final thoughts to you? >> this is important, the point you made is important. americans need to understand, this is not just illegal immigration anymore. when joe biden opened the

border, 70% of agents are taking care of families it is not coincidence, historic immigration, historic drug flow killing americans, related to open border, it is national security issue, public safety issue, public health issue. terrorists they arrested, how many got away? this is no longer illegal immigration issue. i don't care your opinion on immigration and laws, this is bigger now, national security issue and public safety issue. >> carley: the group on the screen now, we don't know what they were smuggling into the country, it was in eagle pass, texas, they look like they were apprehended by border patrol. one looked like he was in handcuff, it looks like that group will be going back to mexico, what is to stop them from coming across the border

gosh, that is an attack on us? we need access to the question. i know, jim acosta would be in therapy for a week. he's done zero live television interviews this year, he did two, one with nbc and cbs, pretapes, why is that? to present as a package after. maybe embarrassing moments were left on edity room floor. biden has done three solo press conferences this year. obama did 25. why is biden hiding? can't answer why are gas prices going up? whose fault is it? we'll talk about that in a second. that live report, gun in the back of the car and fentanyl coming in, killing 300 americans per day on average, they have no

good answers and the president is being hidden. >> carley: mention gas prices and inflation, the white house press secretary's discussion with reporters yesterday, karine jean-pierre tried to lecture peter doocy after he asked about gas prices going up again, watch. >> you said the president was responsible for gas prices coming down, is the president responsible for gas prices going up? >> so it is a lot more nuance than that, right, peter, you know this. there has been global challenges, pandemic and putin's war. >> carley: joe, it is not more nuance, you increase output and prices go down and listen to the president and every word is anti-oil and gas. >> joe: one headline from the "washington post," gas prices high issue biden puts oil companies on notice. >> carley: i saw that this

morning. >> joe: that is play defense. we've lowered gas prices faster than any in a decade. this is like me gaining 50 pounds and i lose six and i say i have never lost more weight that quickly and now gaining and trying to blame somebody or something else, if it is not putin, it is oil companies, this is upon haing five weeks before midterm and the american people aren't going to care why gas prices are above $6 in california, they will say this administration has no clue how to fix this problem. >> carley: driving to the poll -- >> todd: concha stole my wet loss is -- we have been predicting and the opec meeting predicting in the month leading up to the election and we are five weeks out, how freaked out

are they? >> joe: i guess the fist pump with the saudi prince did not work, they have no bumper sticker, they can't run on anything positive, they blame oil companies or make this midterm a referendum on donald trump who hasn't been in office for 22 months, go figure. >> todd: pick up a copy of joe concha's new book, "come on, man -- you forgot one thing in the first answer, when he talks live, he conjures the dead, you left that out of why doesn't he talk live? >> joe: if the kid from the sixth sense does it, it is okay, he's the president. >> todd: biden white house will have more explaining to do if prices go higher today. >> carley: that meeting is underway now and cheryl casone has everything you need to know.

trillion budget deficit for 2022. >> todd: cheryl casone is here. >> cheryl: massive amount of debt the u.s. hold surpassing $31 trillion, first time in history that has happened. jumping during the covid pandemic and continues to balloon under biden admini administration. there are many examples here. the government spent $3.1 trillion more than it received back in 2020. for 2022, that number expected to be around $1 trillion. so republicans arguing voters are ready to see less spending and the programs are adding to record high inflation. fed expected to raise rates again in november, consensus we'll see 75-basis point hike at the meeting in november. >> carley: big news of the day is that opec meeting happening

now and gas prices could go up as a result. >> cheryl: things are getting underway in vienna, we're waiting for that decision later this morning. international cartel of energy producers expected to cut barrels, that is dramatic increase and push gas prices higher. this morning wooerp sitting at $3.83, oil is trending over $86 a barrel now and the administration continues to blame vladamir putin. >> is the president responsible for gas prices going up? >> so it is a lot more nuance than that, there has been pandemic and putin's war and putin's war has increased gas prices at the pump. >> cheryl: putin price hag, surprised she didn't say hashtag, even pete buttigieg

acknowledging the saudis hold the cards here. >> i'm excited about america leading the way into future where we don't have to wait on a middle eastern country, it is not happening overnight. >> cheryl: the white house in panic mode trying to pressure the group not to cut production, will the saudis listen? no. we expect 7 a.m. from vienna, president biden visited saudi arabia over the summer, apparently that wasn't an effective visit, though. >> todd: oil cut to show for it, thank you. bring in western energy alliance president. thanks for being here, the question we are wondering, how high could gas go after today's opec plus meeting? >> you know, i cannot predict the future, so i'm not sure, it is not looking good with opec looking at holding down production. it used to be where couple years

ago, the american producer could meet all demand and we met the growth in the world economy and kept prices low. we are being hamstrung by this president and by policy meant to transition away from oil and natural gas to what? nothing does everything that oil and natural gas do. >> todd: how bad does biden look after going hat in hand to saudis saying, let's come to an agreement and they cut supply like they are about to do potentially? >> right, it doesn't look very effective and would be more effective for the white house to come to texas, colorado and north dakota, where we produce oil in this country, it would be better if the administration worked with us instead of putting up regulation after r regu

regulation. the inflation energy act includes new taxes and fees and increase in cost on american oil and gas production issue just at time we need to produce more to bring prices low. >> todd: energy experts urging lawmakers to bolster american energy security and avoid the green energy policies that are crippling europe. how does anyone with half a brain look at what is happening in europe and not see alarm bells? >> it is very sad. i'm very sad for our friends in upper yoo, they are facing astro nomiccally high prices. a lot is quite frankly european policy leaders, their fault, because they have been pursue thanksgiving green energy agenda, which has increased energy prices. german electricity prices have risen 60% over the last decade or so, as they put in more and more wind and solar. germany is about the cloudiest country i've everbeen to.

they have invested billions of dollars and energy is less secure, they have had to increase ucoal and we've been bringing down greenhouse gas emission. what they are doing in europe is not working and will not keep people warm this winter and not addressing the climate change. >> todd: that is the model we are following and it is stupid. thank you. president biden says he's never been involved in his son's business dealings, his son's former business partner says that is a lie and voters deserve the truth. >> carley: sean duffy is here to talk about that, first steve doocy will look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> steve: how did you know that, carley? intuition, indeed. "fox and friends" starts 11

>> there are hundreds of data points that joe biden was acting in -- in a capitalistic term a chairman. he is a figure. he shows up at meetings, shakes hands, advises, you know, has faith in his team. effectively that was joe biden's role in the biden family business ventures around the world. >> former hunter biden business associate tony bobulinski further implicating president biden in his son's shady foreign business dealings and accusing the fbi of suppressing information before the presidential election. >> sean duffy is a fox news contributor and former wisconsin congressman and joins us now. sean, tony bobulinski said joe biden is the big guy receiving 10% from hunter biden's overseas business dealings some of which

involved the chinese communist party. what do you have to make of what he had to say and the fact he is all fired up because he told the fbi that and the fbi did nothing about it. >> it makes sense that joe biden would be the chairman. look at his son hunter biden is a crack addict and amateur porn star no one in their right mind would hire hunter biden for anything. they are really hiring joe biden by way of his son hunter, right? and i get the frustration with the fbi. the fbi has becomes a we have all talked about a political organization who is there to take out the foes of the democrat party. which means they are there to take out republicans. whether it's roger stone, donald trump, peter navarro or bannon. they want to take out republicans. but the flip side of that is they need to protect democrats and their boss joe biden. ing investigate hunter biden they understand the fbi does, that fbi leads right to president joe biden. they can't do this investigation because they are there to protect joe biden. so, i mean, this is shameful that the leadership of the fbi

has become so political. they have disregarded the law. that's a world we live in today. we need common sense adults back in the room to make sure we get these very powerful organizations back on track to do their job understanding no one is above the law, whether you are donald trump or joe biden. we are all get the law equally applied to us. >> todd: sean, history could be repeating itself this election cycle. here is why bobulinski said he had to come forward now. >> i'm coming out now because the american people are still being lied to about the facts. the doj is claiming they had to couch. this they can't do anything during an election. i don't want to be sitting in december and they actually indict hunter biden and then the american people are like why weren't we made aware of those facts? this is crazy. i would have changed my vote for that congressman or senator or that governor or that attorney general. >> todd: sean, how culpable is the mainstream media for not going into this story, not sharing this story with the

audiences prior to the midterms when literally their job, literally their mission is first and foremost to inform the american people of issues of national importance? >> todd, you make the point. history repeats itself. right? indict hunter biden when after the midterm elections? but this makes sense. this is a game plan to keep democrats and keep running the same game plan over and over again. again we just look back to the 2020 election. and the fbi was the lead going to social media companies to say this could be russian disinformation. don't put it out there. don't help this spread. because, the fbi understood that it wasn't russian disinformation. it was actually true. and if true, therefore, people might change their votes away from joe biden to donald trump. the fbi couldn't allow that to happen. i think the same thing bobulinski is right. the same thing could happen here where the fbi might go listen, we are not going to let anything happen before the election. we'll indict hunter biden after the election and by the way, that might lead to joe biden. , which by the way, democrats

might like. that might be the pathway they carve joe biden out of the next 2024 presidential election and make way for whether it's gavin newsom or someone else. that's probably going to be the strategy. the fbi after the midterms take out joe, let someone else come in. >> carley: a lot of people don't think vice president kamala harris she got in a lot of criticism for saying there should be equity in mind in response to hurricane ian. now the biden administration pushing that even further staying there should be a national strategy for pushing woke policies through government agencies and hiring and things like that. cap it all really quickly. here is a treasury secretary janet yellen. >> we have put racial equity at the forefront of our agenda at treasury and across the biden administration. >> carley: 0 seconds to you before "fox & friends" starts. what's your response to that? >> yeah. i believe in merit, right? and when we have equity, diversity and inclusion, you

don't get the best, smartest feel rise to the top. you get people with the right skin color or sexual preference. when things go bad it's dangerous whether at fed or treasury or big bank or pilots or air traffic controllers, i don't care about the color of your skin i want you to be the best at when you do and that's not where this administration is. >> todd: sean duffy you are the best at what you do. we appreciate your time. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> biden heads to florida today to meet with desantis and survey the destruction. >> at least 84 people dead. >> they try to loot. >> looting will get progressively worse. >> they should be prosecuted but they need to be sent back to their home country. they should not be here. >> there is the pandemic and then putin's war. >> >> gas prices once again on the rise. >> is the president responsible? >> it's a lot more nuances. there have been global challenges. >> it's really a bad story here. >> dependent once again on opec. >> fbi set toe posthumously russo-elling at her funeral. stabbed to death
