>> dagen: see you on jesse's show tonight. >> we'll listen to you on the radio. >> bye, everyone. >> dana: the white house wiping out on the world stage as opec slashes oil production disregarding months of diplomacy by the president and his team. bill is off today. i have my friend with me. >> dagen: i'm dagen mcdowell. this is "america's newsroom." the saudi-led oil cartel announced it will cut production by 2 million barrels a day. bad news for americans already paying upwards of $3.86 a gallon for gasoline. >> dana: a major embarrassment for the white house. president biden has desperately

trying to avoid this outcome for months and paid a visit to saudi arabia in july after he vowed to make the country a pariah over its human rights abuses. >> dagen: the fist bump fell flat along with the president's promises to lower gasoline prices for americans struggling with inflation. >> president biden: i'm doing all i can to increase the supply for the united states of america, which i expect to happen. i'm using every lever available to me to bring down prices for the american people. i have a plan to bring down the cost of gas and food. i'm doing everything in my power to blunt putin's price hike and bring down the cost of gas and food. i led the world to could odd nate the largest release of global oil reserves in history. >> dana: jacque heinrich is live on the north lawn waking up to difficult headlines. there were reports they were trying to work the opec members up until they lost. >> there sure were. tough day here for officials at the white house. yesterday they announced new plans reversing course basically

saying that they are, in fact, going to continue sell the country's strategic oil reserves as needed in order to stabilize prices even though one day prior they said there were no plans to do that. the country's supply is synth at a 40-year low and rather than embrace new policies as they are being pushed to do to try to ramp up domestic production the u.s. is now turning to another dictator whose government, by the way, we don't officially recognize. the "wall street journal" headline this morning reads u.s. looks to ease venezuela sanctions in order for they can pump oil. significant sanction relief if -- the national security council did not deny it telling fox as we've previously made clear we'll review our sanctions policies in response to constructive steps by the mow doer ing regime to restores

democracy in venezuela. speculation a prisoner swap over the weekend was a first step in cultivating venezuela as an alternative to opec. they released two drug deal nephews in exchange for five oil executives venezuela was holding. now president biden is facing swift condemnation from the g.o.p. >> the entire world is messing with us. this president and his left wing cronies in washington have completely abandoned our national security strength. two years ago we were leading the world and exporting oil and gas. >> domestic producers hoped the administration will turn to them. opec said no, strategic petroleum reserve option is all but gone and the white house has one alternative, the u.s. oil and gas industry and its

workers. life comes at you pretty fast. officials here signaled no plans to do that repeating their talking points yesterday that domestic oil producers have not used existing leases that are available to them, dana. >> dana: you have to have permits to exercise the leases. thank you so much, jacque. good to have dagen here to explain on the strategic petroleum reserve, that's our emergency supply. >> dagen: right. in terms of actual shortages. but instead it appears as if there was a political move all summer. the strategic petroleum reserve is now at the lowest in 38 years since president biden took office, the number of barrels in it has fallen by 35%. since then. and now the biden administration, although it has more releases on deck, it will have to begin refilling it at higher prices. and saudi arabia, no pun intended, knows they have us over a barrel. >> dana: we'll have much more on this with maria bartiromo. her analysis what this means for

the economy and your pocketbook straight ahead. >> dagen: public safety. moving up on the agenda. republicans in several battleground states focusing on rising crime and support for law enforcement. they see it as a winning issue with the mid-terms less than five weeks away. mark meredith with more from washington. good morning, mark. >> good morning. americans consistently rank crime as a major concern ahead of the mid-term elections. increasing number of candidates are trying to embrace the issue to win over voters fed up with the status quo. "politico" summed it up saying crime and public safety are a potent mix of issues in the mid-term elections as republicans tie democrats to a pandemic-era rise in crime. last night in ohio, republican senate candidate vance held a back the blue rally touting recent endorsements from law enforcement groups in the buckeye state. we expect to hear from tim ryan on this issue later today. vance tells fox his pitch to

voters is simple. >> i think the simple message i'm the law and order candidate and wants safe and secure studies. i think our police officers deserve it. american citizens, rich or poor, black or white deserve to live in safe communities. >> in wisconsin the crime debate is engulfing the debate between ron johnson and mandela barnes. johnson's campaign highlighted endorsements by a number of sheriffs in the state. >> the most disturbing i've seen in my career the defund the police movement we currently see. >> democrats are not ceding it to republicans. the polls show the race has tightened in florida in recent weeks. president biden went to great lengths to reject the defund the police movement that we talked about so much in 2020. one democrat is sticking with it.

cori bush spoke to abc this week and believes the party needs to stand behind the message and explain the narrative better. >> dagen: thank you so much. >> dana: the search for a missing california family of four coming to a very tragic end. they were all found dead in a rural field just two days after they were seen in surveillance video being kidnapped at gun point. a person of interest is in custody. for more on the senior national correspondent william la jeunesse is live in los angeles. what did you find out? >> the one answer i don't have for you is why. the person who knows is still alive and the sheriff believes there may be an accomplice. the video you see here the big guy in back is the 48-year-old defendant. he was invited into this construction trailer by the singh family. they thought he was a homeless guy looking for bottles to recycle. instead it was a kidnapping. he had a gun in his hand and walked out the family in zip

ties. last night a farm worker found all four bodies close together in a field 20 miles away. the merced county sheriff didn't reveal how they died. >> there is no word right now to describe the anger i feel and the senselessness of this incident. i said it earlier, a special place in hell for this guy. >> the man was hospitalized after shooting himself as police closed in on tuesday after video showed him using one of the family's bank cards at an atm. the man talked to police but don't know if he provided a motive. was he hired? was there a ran some? how would the money change hands and why did he kill this entire family, including the baby girl? >> we don't know motivation yet. we're making that a determining factor and the investigation now is to pursue a full conviction

and hope our district attorney's office files for the death penalty. >> that's not going to happen with governor gavin newsom in office. he imposed a moratorium on the death penalty in 2019. he is a convicted thief and released from prison in 2018. the family immigrated from india 20 years ago. >> dana: a terrible story, >> dagen: tensions rising with north korea as a u.s. strike group goes into the sea of japan. they launched two more ballistic missiles and kim appears to be intensifying his missile program ahead of the mid-term. >> north korea at it again and a couple of ways. first, they fired off two more missiles today in the direction of japan. the 23 and 24 of this year. one of those launched today

followed a stag daig path aimed at throwing off radar. north of the dmz today 12 north korea fighter jets and bombers were apparently practices bombing runs. that prompted the scrambling of some 30 south korean jets. triggered by this activity the reemployment of the u.s.s. reagan aircraft carrier running drills today with south korea and japan's naval vessels. all this north korean activity seen as an effort by its leader to get back on the front pages. thought to be possibly planning an intercontinental ballistic missile test and nuclear device test. we haven't seen those in a while. the rhetoric from the north is firing away as well. they called the ronald reagan

carrier deployment destabilizing to the region. the biden administration said it is open to talk. >> dagen: thank you so much for that. >> dana: also overseas breaking news in the fight against terror. u.s. special forces carrying out a raid on a village in northeastern syria. a top islamic state official has been killed and several captured. the u.s. operation took place on government-held territory and an air assault and forces on the ground. we'll bring you more information as it comes in. at this moment there goes another one of the isis members we continue to be on the hunt for all of them. >> dagen: a war that's not over. >> dana: they are patient people, the terrorists. we have to match them at that point. scary october for democrats. key races are tightening and rising gas prices could put republicans over the top. karl rove on what it means for who controls the senate. >> dagen: a federal appeals court dealing a blow to daca. details of the ruling and what it could mean for more than half a million dreamers living in the u.s. >> dana: we're learning more

about the suspect accused of murdering a new york father who was visiting his son at clerj. the alleged gunman wanted in multiple states with a mile-long rap sheet. why was he on the street to begin with? >> all you do is put the criminals back on the street with a slap on the hand and letting them know it's okay. they'll go back out and reoffend. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> dagen: a federal appeals court upheld a ruling stating the daca program violates u.s. immigration law. the three-judge panel declaring the obama administration did not have the legal authority to create daca in 2012. the decision will not impact current enrollees but prohibits the biden administration from approving new applications. nearly 600,000 immigrants brought to the united states as

children were enrolled in daca as of june 30th. >> dana: fox news alert on our top story. the biden administration failing to stop opec from slashing oil production. the move is poised to drive gas prices higher. let's bring in maria bartiromo. the average gas price now is $3.86 a gallon. it used to be 2.39 when he took office. >> supply and demand tells you that simple economics will push prices higher. i think what's really interesting about this is they were not expecting this. they were not expecting the opec group would actually say yeah, we'll cut back 2 million a day. it is three months after the president went to saudi arabia to try to convince the saudis not to cut back on output. look, these opec members want to see oil prices higher and unfortunately this administration is talking about doing business with killers as opposed to doing business with drillers. we have the capacity to have our own production in this country but this climate change agenda

is priority one. so they'll do business with the killers instead of the drillers and that's what we learned this morning again on the venezuela story. >> dagen: they have made a mess out of our petroleum industry. so the fewest number of leases have been approved under biden since for his time in office since at least world war ii. adding insult to more injury, apparently the biden officials not only were lobbying saudi arabia but also kuwait and the united arab emirates and after that saudi arabia came out or opec plus and said we're cutting 2 million barrels a day. >> the fact that they came out right after that and said we'll release more oil from the strategic petroleum reserve tells you they were blind-sided. we're talking about the lowest amount of oil in the strategic petroleum reserve since 1984.

lowest in 38 years at 450 million barrels. this is supposed to be a reserve for crises and emergencies. i have no idea why he continues releasing this oil and sending it to places like china. >> dana: the oil industry is a global market, right? the question i have would be one, why not just let americans drill for their own oil? but the administration is constantly saying. we heard it yesterday from john kirby and from president biden today -- yesterday, that the oil industry is not using the leases that they already have. until they do that they aren't going to approve any more. what's the rub there and what's the truth? >> i'm glad you brought this up. this is a real rub there. there are a lot of things not being said when they say that. the fact is the bureaucracy around oil companies and their plans to move forward and have new projects is so thick, that bureaucracy, it makes it impossible -- nearly impossible for the oil companies to actually commit to a project long term and keep it up.

look what's going on with the banks? the biden administration is trying to force the banks or encourage the banks to stop lending to the fossil fuel industry. two weeks ago tlaib questioned jamie dimon and said will you commit to not funding oil companies? he said absolutely not. that would be the road to hell for america. so the bottom line is it's not just about the leases, it is about all the rules, regulations, bureaucracy that this administration has put in place to stop, lessen and kill the fossil fuel industry. >> dagen: a lot of analysts are saying all the biden administration would need to do is make friends and make nice with the energy sector in the united states and say we will do everything that it takes and everything in our power to make sure that we are prosperous here in the united states, produce as much fossil fuel as we possibly can and regain our power on the

world stage and they simply will not do that. in fact, brian deese, part of a statement, a few months ago he said our goal is still to cut fossil fuels to 0, to 0. >> this is an ideology. the ideology of this administration and the democrats. they will continue pushing it forward. you know, they want their clean energy program in place and unfortunately that green climate change agenda puts all the business to china because the production of things like batteries and things associated with these electric vehicles are made in china. >> dana: so for just people here at home, gas prices were already going up even before the hurricane. now you have this. what could you be looking at in the next 41/2 weeks before the mid-term elections with gas prices? >> when you continue releasing oil from the strategic reserve, that's a specific move to keep

gasoline prices in check ahead of the mid-term elections. it is all timed for that. longer term, you know, in the winter months when the weather gets colder, heating oil will go higher. gasoline prices are still elevated. off the highs because of this petroleum reserve partly. but this is supply and demand. when you don't have adequate supply, prices will go higher. demand is there. so i think that until we actually see a structural change in this administration's agenda, you are going to see elevated prices. >> dagen: this is a blow to the biden administration intentionally from opec plus but also a hand-out to vladimir putin that with putin, he needs high prices in order to continue to wage this war against ukraine and a writer for bloomberg wrote economically it keeps invasion elevated by politically a boost for putin by channeling more

money to the kremlin and signaling that saudi arabia is in russia's camp and others in the middle east, africa and asia will follow suit and cozy up to russia. >> dana: he has pushed them into the arms of russia and china. >> on the one hand the opec cut is being seen as bad by the administration, on the other hand, the opec cut is cutting production, which is what they want, right? they don't want the production of oil because of the greenhouse gases and the climate agenda. wait, when opec does it, that's bad. it is affecting gasoline prices. >> dana: loved having you on set with us. especially on the day that dagen is here. i love having fox business here. democrats ditch town for recess. will they ever put their money where there mouth is on trading stocks? nancy pelosi may be holding the gavel now but focus on hot button issues there could be a changing of the guard. warning signs are flashing for

democrats. we talk politics with our good friend, karl rove, next. >> they declared war on american energy. surrendered energy independence that caused the massive inflation. gave the southwest borders to the mexican cartels. the fentanyl and crime. people have had a enough and that's why they want to make a change in november.

and i'm going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you're still responsible for 20% of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. but they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a

look at humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. and, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. with no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. in fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. and dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. you get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part

industrial average. triple digit loss after slight losses wednesday. investors are trying to deal with oil and gasoline prices after the surprise 2 million barrel per day production cut from opec. it was about double what even was expected a few days ago. it will continue to fuel inflation and makes our federal reserve's job even harder when americans are being not only crushed by inflation, but crushed by higher interest rates and stocks to the down side today. we'll be watching oil prices all day long. >> dana: in addition the public move could spell big trouble for democrats. only 27% believe the u.s. is heading in the right direction according to the real clear average of politics. 66% say it's on the wrong track. when you have numbers like that, what does that tell you based on history or instincts now about the upcoming election we have in a month? >> bad numbers for the democrats because they are in charge. people rightly or wrongly see

the president of the united states as having the principle impact on the direction of the country. if only just a quarter of the people think the country is going in the right direction, that means 3/4 of the people will be open to change. there is another number, though, ought to scare the democrats. in the gallup poll has asked a question for decades, which party is better able to handle the most important issue to you? they don't specify what that issue is. they let you decide what you think the most important issue is and which party is better able to handle it? 48% said republican. 37% said democrat. that is the second biggest advantage for the republicans, the only time that it was bigger was in 1946 when it was a 17-point advantage and republicans took 55 seats in the house. so whatever your issue is, by an 11-point margin you think the republicans are better able to deal with it than you think the democrats are. >> dana: call for number two has a fox news poll top voter

concerns. the number one issue is inflation and high prices. and so we just came off of a segment where we had maria bartiromo here talking about the impact of the gas prices rising before the hurricane, then the hurricane, then the other double whammy hurricane, the opec+ decision to cut oil production and the administration basically saying the u.s., we aren't going to do any more here but we'll open up in venezuela? >> yeah, crazy, isn't it? we produce energy, oil and gas hydro carbons better than any one else in the world if you measure it by emissions. we're the cleanest, most environmentally sensitive country in production. lets he go to venezuela where they have no environmental standards and the middle east where they don't like us. we achieved a moment of energy independence, a strategic advantage and economic advantage for the united states. in the last year and a half this administration has squandered it

and the result is higher prices at the pump. even when the administration will say it's down 1.30 from its high, it was up 1.31 from the price it was on the day the president was inaugurated into office. >> dana: you wrote a column what you think the most likely scenario is for the u.s. senate numbers after the mid-term. let's pull it up. call for number three. it could be a 50/50 split. could be 51-49. republican or 51-49 democrats. i believe you believe 51-49 republican is the most likely at this time. why do you say that? is there a key state you are looking at that gives you some optimism for republicans? >> yeah, there are two states that the republicans are defending. one with an incumbent ron johnson in wisconsin and the open seat in pennsylvania with oz as the republican candidate. both of these states were won by joe biden very narrowly, just over a point in pennsylvania and

less than a point in wisconsin. i'm feeling pretty good about both of those. if the republicans hold both seats they are likely to hold the other three seats that democrats incumbent republicans hold today, north carolina and ohio, both of which are open and then florida with marco rubio. then all the republicans need to do is take one. i think they have an excellent chance in nevada with adam laxalt. there have been six polls in september. he leads in five. tied in one. the movement is towards him. the other one that is i think an excellent shot is georgia. if the republicans hold the two they're defending and take 1 or 2 of the seats that they are seriously contesting and others out there that could be colorado, washington state, maybe new hampshire. maybe on a good day 52-48. >> dana: what about north carolina? >> well, i think north carolina is one that the republicans

hold. i think because ohio and north carolina were both won by donald trump and open republican seats. one is -- both will have a lot of money spent by the republicans. interestingly enough the democrats aren't yet spending a bunch of money in north carolina. they have not spent for months. the republicans have been spending for some period of time. it shows that they don't think they necessarily have a good shot at it. i think they will have enough money that we can expect the democrats to get into north carolina at the end in hopes of having something break their way but they have not been spending over the months of june, july, august and september. that would be a sign that they were seriously contesting it just like they are in a lot of other states. >> dana: karl rove. read his column today if you are interested in the senate and who will be in control and why. good to see you. >> you bet. thank you. >> dagen: another pivotal mid-term race is in indiana. one of several that will decide which party takes the house. republicans trying to flip a seat from blue to red.

change the trajectory of a hurricane if we put it towards fighting climate and climate change? until india, russia, china does anything about their carbon footprint these things will continue to happen in terms of pollution. to say this hurricane would have been lessened if the united states spent more to fight climb all change is disingenuous. >> dagen: john kerry said the use u.s. -- michael shell berger who we will talk to next hour said hurricanes are not -- the lines where hurricanes are becoming more frequent and intense, no land falling u.s. hurricanes have fallen and no increase in the cost of hurricane damage. but you still get this even from the president. >> dana: millions of people have moved there, joe. that's not mentioned. >> a great point. not mentioned also there are hurricanes that hit florida and other parts of the united states

gun and dealing drugs there. last year in new york he faced eight charges ranging from attempted assault to possession of a weapon. those charges were dropped. they won't tell us why. i called again this morning. the documents are sealed. now facing second degree murder charges and walking free when police say he killed paul coops on your screen. the 54-year-old was a dad of three and loving husband and murdered while visiting his son as marist college in poughkeepsie, new york. it happened in the lobby of the marriott. johnson got into an argument about the free coffee and then sprayed bullets around that room and killed the man. a lot of questions still unanswered. community members are wondering why he wasn't behind bars. we reached out to the governor hochul a few times about the case. she will be with president joe biden in poughkeepsie and we hope to find out more then. >> dagen: let's bring in mark

mon molinaro. when does something happen about this in new york state in terms of insuring that people who should not be on the street are off the street? >> you know, the answer is in the hands of voters. the truth is that democratic lawmakers in new york and by extension in washington just are living in a state of denial. a family does not have a father today because two people who should have been behind bars continued to walk the streets. we see rising violence in every place across the state. and they are in total denial living in some alternative reality. >> dagen: on that note, though, you ran for governor as a republican against andrew cuomo. andrew cuomo won another term and he was the author of this bail reform that it was -- has

been devastating for many new yorkers. all new yorkers who care about crime, frankly. so the voters continue to vote in individuals who favored this. what gives? >> well, i think that the reality has sunk in. there are voters all across the state, new york city, upstate new york that now see it firsthand. they are listening to law enforcement. there are district attorney democrats and republicans across the state who made it clear. let's be very clear here. we told them this. those of us responsible for public safety on the ground told state lawmakers this is what was going to happen and they chose to ignore us. and even today, the governor, she will be just down the road from this very incident with president biden for what is likely to be a theater production to distract from all of the other crises going on in this country.

but even today the governor is unwilling to take up the call to rescind and fix bail reform in the state. and again lives are being lost and families ripped apart. i don't know how much more they are willing to accept before they finally take responsibility. >> dagen: you mentioned president biden will also be in dutch -- the county. will crime be a question shouted at the question? >> i've asked for an opportunity to speak to the president and i will tell him exactly what i think. listen, we want jobs but telling people that there are jobs coming years and years and years from now when they can't afford to pay their electric bill and can't afford to put groceries on their table and refrigerators while innocent people are being gunned down. they have to take responsibility and it is no solace to too many families struggling too hard. so let's see what the president

has to say today but i'm certain it's more about political theater than it is about solving the problems facing real people right now. >> dagen: mark molinaro, thank you so much for being here. >> you bet, thank you. >> dana: a federal appeals court ruling the obama-era immigration reform protecting dreamers is illegal. for now the 600,000 currently in the daca program who came to the country as children get to stay. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. bill hemmer is off today. hello to you. >> dagen: hi, i love being here. thank you. hope i'm here tomorrow. i i'm dagen mcdowell. a pathway to citizenship. the migrant crisis remains a flash point issue for voters as we get closer to the mid-term elections. >> we see these illegal immigrants being taken advantage of by the cartels and it's just sad that t
