refuses -- refuses to acknowledge the crisis that is happening here and how it is affecting not only our border communities but our entire nation. >> dana: griff jenkins with a front row seat live at the border in eagle pass, texas. hi, griff. >> with no signs of slowing down. good morning, dana and dagen. the new ruling by a three-judge panel out of the 5th circuit court of appeals finding the obama administration lacked authority for the deferred action childhood arrivals but leaving in place protections for the 600,000 dreamers currently in the u.s. the practical impact. look at this video shot just hours ago just before dawn. you can see this group that arrived where i'm standing about 106 in total. another group behind them totaling 200 came as well. any childhood arrivals in this one cannot apply for a new application, meanwhile those that are already here can continue to renew their

applications for now. meanwhile, dana and dagen, the journey for migrants has never been more dangerous. take a look at this video. this is texas dps troopers pursuing a gravel hauler suspected of smuggling the driver bailed out and ran into the bush when truck went off the road. inside the trailer troopers found 17 migrants dangerously down in this gravel hauler. just prior to the stop another migrant had fallen out of the truck, got run over and had to be transported to a hospital. but that's not the only smuggling event that's happened in the past 48 hours. you can see here at the eagle pass south station border patrol agents finding another smuggling attempt they thwarted finding 20 migrants locked into a tow trailer. finding another smuggling event. it is rampant down here and interesting the center for immigration studies has a report out today saying that they have been tracking mexican cartels

business models saying they've changed their model now to become more profitable in human smuggling and trafficking than even narcotics. >> dana: incredible story. griff jenkins, thank you. >> dagen: hispanic republican women running for congress say they'll try to win over latino voters for fighting inflation and crime. the latest pew poll shows 77% of latino voters are not satisfied with how things are going in this country. 54% disapprove of how president biden is handling these things. mike emanuel live in washington with much more. good morning, mike. >> good morning. republican leaders are touting the number of latino republican women they have running for congress this cycle from texas, oregon, florida, illinois. with democrats holding a single digit seat majority in the house these women could be the difference in november. >> we have a huge opportunity to go into these communities and say look, this is what life is

like when you have pro-growth economic policies and your small businesses can thrive and communities are safe and your kids are learning good things in school. >> after riots trashed much of downtown portland, oregon in 20201 latino republican is running for congress on the crime crisis pushing back on portland with a major jump in homicides and calling out progressives for cutting the police budget. organizers say president trump spoke directly to the hope, dignity and dreams of hispanic america. the republicans say their issues are more in line with issues of latino voters. >> president biden: no city hispanic americans have not made better and no part of america that has not been uplifted by hispanic americans and not made greater. the hispanic community is a

blessing to our nation. >> the latest polling suggests democrats edge with latinos voters is slipping. g.o.p. leaders are hoping for diverse candidates will help close that gap. >> dagen: thank you so much for that. >> dana: democrats are scrambleling to keep our next guest from flipping a house seat from blue to red for the first time since 1931. frank mer vin of indiana facing off against jennifer ruth green an air force veteran. wonderful to have you. looking forward to our conversation. for people who don't know you, tell us about your background. >> good morning. thanks so much for having me. i'm a third generation combat veteran. had the opportunity and responsibility to serve in operation iraqi freedom. graduated from the united states air force academy and serve as a lieutenant colonel in the indiana air national guard. pilot by trade and focus is on helping young people underrepresented in the aviation

community teaching them about aviation and stem opportunities. >> dana: your district, indiana one, biden won it by 8 or 9 points i believe. we have it another rated as a toss-up. what is happening in your district? >> yes, ma'am. we're so fired up over here because we're seeing a clear change. hoosiers deserve better and believe they deserve better and want safe neighborhoods, they want crime to go away, they want to have the opportunity to have the american dream. and so we're excited to bring them better and as people get fired up, they continue to show further and further how >> dana g.o.p. challengers raised more than a million dollars. what are you hearing from people? gas prices, inflation, crime? what are the issues the people of your district are talking about the most? >> yes, ma'am. we hit our goal of raising over

$1.3 million as a result of people giving on average $48 at a time. and it's because people are fed up with those things. i saw your earlier segments this morning about gas and groceries and the fact that congressman is spending our grandkids' money. cash, groceries and grandkids. people can't afford to live because government is complicating their lives and it is the holt of failed policies from the congressmen and the democrat he leitz. >> dana: one of the things he has done is try to attack you on abortion. here is part of his ad. >> jenner ruth green said she would ban all abortions with absolutely no exceptions. >> i'm 100% pro-life. >> we 100% can't send jennifer ruth green to congress. >> dana: how much is abortion playing a role in this election in indiana one? >> a couple of things. this congressman is specifically

focusing on abortion because he is so out of touch. he has an extreme view he voted for. abortion on demand for any reason at any time up to the moment of birth at taxpayer expense. the majority of americans want limits on abortion. i am pro-life. his extreme views are out of touch. so when we talk about him, he wants to distract from the realities of failed decisions hurting people every day. he voted for multiple measures that have caused crime to go up which have caused our inflation to surge, which have hurt hoosiers. they believe that they deserve better and believe that i will bring it to them. we're fired up over here and very excited. >> dana: you have asked for three debates with neutral moderators. what do you think you'll be able to do in getting him to debate you? >> well, ma'am, if you have nothing to say you aren't going to stand up and say it and that's what we've seen. we've thrown down the challenge and asked him and reminded him

and he refuses to say anything. the reason he refuses to say anything is because he has nothing to defend. his policies have hurt hoosiers are disaide. this is rated as a toss-up but we're neck-and-neck. a margin of error race and the congressman knows it and will not step out and have anything to say because he has nothing to defend. >> dana: jennifer ruth green. great to finally meet you. i will watch that race very closely on election night. thank you. >> yes, ma'am, thank you. >> dana: wanting to meet her. there are so many interesting people running this year. mostly on the republican side. the number of different faces that they went out and recruited to get to run. you have somebody like jennifer ruth willing to put herself out there. she is quite inspiring the and a dignified, gracious person with a lot of energy. >> dagen: yes, ma'am. i love the ma'am part.

indiana, we're all midwestern at heart and southerners. it crosses state lines. >> dana: she mentioned the next issue. watch here. >> we're talking about the lowest amount of oil in the strategic petroleum reserve since 1984. this is supposed to be reserved for crises and emergencies. i have no idea why he continues releasing this oil and sending it to places like china. >> dana: that was maria bartiromo last hour on opec, opec+, drastically cutting 2 million barrels a day. how the white house is scrambling to make up the shortfall next. >> dana: do you think the protestor is apologizing? >> dagen: it's covid again. dr. tony fauci with a new warning. what you need to know to keep

you and your family safe. >> we were going in the right direction in the summer of 2021 and along came delta. then in the winter november and december of 2021, along came omicron.

announce a plan to drastically cut oil production. you can see those supplies have already been dwindling since the president took office. edward lawrence is live at the white house with more on this. >> the strategic petroleum reserve at the lowest level in 38 years. industry experts say it was never meant to be a counter balance for the economy. it was meant to be for emergencies. we have not seen levels like this since when the dove cry was the number one song in the united states. when prince performed that. you see where president biden took office. the white house hoping opec+ would push more oil but they cut. biden was disappointed. the short sightedness says it started with the president. >> they are trying to get gas prices down and that's what this is all about. they're pleading with iran and venezuela. deal with international killers

than work with american drillers. it is right here. >> the administration turning to venezuela, a government we do not recognize dangling easing sanctions in exchange to allow chevron to pump more oil there. industry spokesperson says we have previously made clear we will review our sanctions policies in response to constructive steps by the regime. they knew their transition would be tough and economic pain for americans. listen to this. >> we're in a transition. we are trying to transition to a more clean energy environment. that is good for the economy and good for certainly for the environment and where the president wants to take us. transitions are tough and they take time. >> the administration knew this economic pain that americans are feeling would happen. back to you. >> dana: edward lawrence, thank

you. >> we should anticipate that we very well may get another variant that would emerge that would elude the immune response we have gotten from infection and/or from vaccination. >> dagen: dr. anthony fauci with yet another warning. covid hospitalizations are down nationwide and winter is coming. with another cold and flu season. questions remain over how prepared we are to face another strain. the next strain. let me bring in dr. marc siegel, fox news contributor professor of medicine. dr. siegel. always a pleasure. what do you make of tony fauci's comments there? >> dagen, good morning. i don't think fear has worked and i don't think warnings have worked and i think they've backfired throughout the pandemic. not only that, if you look at the actual science here the

omicron sub variants spread very easily transmit rapidly and crowd out other variants. no accident we've been with omicron for a year now. most likely will be where we're heading next. the vaccines we have and having gotten over prior covid especially recently provides a layer of immunity that causes you to have a less severe case and why we are trying to go on with our lives right now. as you know i'm pro-vaccine but i also am not pro fear or that message. of course there is always a possibility another variant will emerge. the fact that one emerged a year ago or the year before doesn't translate to another one coming now. omicron spreads very easily and will out compete other variants most likely. >> dagen: dr. fauci was on a not number one late night talk show. i think it was last night trying to yuck it up i guess. you know, put a shine on his image as he exits this job.

but his communication all along with the american people during the pandemic and even after that, getting defensive essentially saying if you disagree with me you disagree with signs. if you attack me, you attack science. has that hurt people's willingness to go out and say get a booster shot? >> yes, dagen, it's very well said. it is called dogma. see a great scientist but seems to be talking down to people. lockdown, mask, vaccine. he was very excited about the vaccine initially and i did interviews with him about this. i think it's led to a lack of compliance and i think vaccine fatigue and vaccine hesitancy. what we really need and i've said it for months now. we need the shots in the doctor's office. somebody comes to see me in my exam room i go watts that, that's the vaccine. i heard it can cause this and

that and i say here is what my experience is with other patients and the benefit and why i would give it to you. they say i didn't do that well with the last vaccine. i say it's your choice. that kind of conversation is what we need. not some politician standing at a podium lecturing you. >> dagen: are we in for a tough flu season? i know there is some concern about that after two years of a mild flu season. people have been following covid protocols but how do you see the just regular old flu playing out and will people step up and get their flu shots? >> i have that flu shot in my office and having that conversation every day. australia had a bad flu season. the shot matched the strain. australia, their winter is our summer. we know that and we expect a bad flu season. it is already pretty high activity in texas and the

district of columbia. it hit kids pretty hard in australia. i'm recommending the flu shot. again, let's message this properly because it decreases your risk of being hospitalized especially if you are in an at-risk group. someone who is pregnant and at high risk. i have this conversation with any office every day. yes, i'm recommending the flu shot and now is a good time to get it. >> dagen: should people get a covid booster and flu shot at the same time or stagger them? >> that's a psychological issue. medically i don't think there is a problem. we see a lot of side effects from the covid boosters. fatigue and sore arms. i don't want that. in terms of health risks it's absolutely fine. most of my patients are taking them scat

the -- them staggered only 3% of americans have gotten it. i target people most at risk. you haven't had covid in a long time. you didn't get a shot in a long time but you are obese, elderly or have other medical conditions. are you someone i would like to take that booster. you know what? they don't have the data we need about how well that booster works at preventing hospitalizations. we need to know that. it is part i want to argue with. >> dagen: thank you for being here. great morning to you. >> always a pleasure, thank you. >> we stopped violence. >> we have to stay focused on the economy, crime and border with fentanyl rushing across it and it will win for republicans. >> dana: as the president senate race gets closer the attacks are uglier. the latest back and forth and what it means ahead of this month's debate. dating and politics when kat timpf joins us.

which is one of his chief duties. quote, fetterman's daily schedule was blank during roughly 1/3 of workdays from january 2019 when he first took office, to may of this year, when he suffered a serious stroke. even on days where his schedule showed he was active, a typical workday forf him lasted between4 and 5 hours. the campaign says it is inaccurate and fails to capture the breath of his work. fetterman is calling dr. oz a puppy killer touting an act situation picked up by a headline. dr. oz's scientific experiments killed over 300 dogs, entire litter of puppies. a 2004 columbia university settlement with the usda reached after investigation found the inhumane treatment of dogs during cardio vascular medical studies while dr. oz was the director of the cardio vascular

institutes. he is selling dog lovers for fetterman stickers. dr. oz says it was a lie and not involved in any animal abuse. oz continues to hammer fetterman for being soft on crime as philadelphia suffers from a record over 1,000 carjackings so far this year. >> i think the decision is clear here. we have to stay focused on the economy, crime and the border. that will win for republicans. >> fox news reports fetterman failed to preside over the senate 33% of the time but a perfect attendance record on the state's board of pardon. >> dana: popular dating app rolling out political profile badges ahead of election day. kat timpf. it doesn't sound like a good idea. political affiliation important at 18%, somewhat important 34%.

someone will come forward. laura engel with more on the story. >> good morning. investigators are hoping new surveillance video released when week will bring them one step closer the tracking down the person or people they believe are responsible for a string of violent and random murders in northern california. take a close look. this video shows the image of a person of interest walking near one of the murder scenes. police are asking the public to take a very close look at this clip to see if any one recognizes the person's gait and posture which the police say is a noticeable characteristic. >> we notice an unsteady gait. not a pattern that most people have. we don't know if it's an ankle injury or just how the person strides. we find it to be a little out of the ordinary. >> in addition to the release of the video, the stock ton police task force announced a significant reward of $125,000

york today to do an event and campaigning. he was asked about oil, opec and venezuela. listen here. >> what's your reaction to the opec. >> disappointment. we are looking for alternatives. >> there is a lot of alternatives. we haven't made up our mind yet. [inaudibl [inaudible question] >> president biden: that remains to be seen. [inaudible question]. >> president biden: no. the trip was not about oil. it was about the middle east and israel. it is a disappointment and it

says they are a problem. [inaudible question] >> dana: president biden before he left is being asked about the decision of opec+. he said it was a disappointing decision and saying the saudi trip was about israel and the middle east. we know based on reports the white house was scrambling until the last minute trying to get- opec to not make this decision. >> dagen: they cut 2 million barrels a day. the administration has an adversarial relationship with the fossil fuel industry. complaining is the policy. >> dana: keep this in mind as we follow the news and the markets. president biden is pushing forward with a climate agenda take relies heavily on imported materials and equipment. our next guest writes in the

"new york post."enter biden's green energy is a joke that makes us dependent on china. we have the founder of environmental progress. the last 24 hours and how it fits into what you were saying in the "new york post."enter >> good to be with you. i think it's important for people to remember there was a hard won effort to make energy secure in terms of oil and gas production that occurred from the last opec oil shocks of the early 70s until the early 2010s when we had the fracking revolution. that changed everything. we were the biggest oil and gas producer in the world. produce sufficient quantities of oil and gas for ourselves. this thing of biden going and begging the saudis and begging the venezuelans for oil is not only disgraceful and humiliating, it actually undermines american security. there is no need for it. he just needs to increase oil and gas production and he could

do that himself. he has given out fewer leases for oil and gas drilling than any president since world war ii. people sometimes say well don't the oil and gas companies have a bunch of leases? they need more leases. they want more leases. american oil and gas companies would like to produce more oil and gas for ourselves. we should be doing that and we should be exporting it to europe so instead what biden and the democrats are trying to do is make the united states wholely dependent on china which dominates the production and materials refining of the materials required for solar panels and electric cars, many are made by incarcerated uighur muslims. a basic moral issue. you can't import products made by people against whom the chinese are committing genocide. it is a very terrible policy. i can't stress enough how dangerous it is. >> dagen: michael, the rare

earth materials also come from places like indonesia for nickel and lithium triangle which is in south america as two examples of ceding power and prosperity to other areas. in europe they've partially conceded that they need nuclear power and they have come out and said that yes, natural gas is actually a green form of energy. but not here. >> well yeah, it's -- part of the problem is we're in a much better position than you were. europe is in a very bad way. half of their steel and other materials production is shut down because of high electricity prices and the lack of natural gas, fertilizer production has come down by 70%. ironically the united states could end up benefiting by this by bringing those industries to the united states. we have had an obligation to

protect our friends in europe. they are begging us. the europeans are begging us to produce more oil and gas for them. they aren't doing it because biden has a radical base. saudi oil produces greenhouse gases. when he goes there and demand they produce oil rather than us is bizarre and wrong. >> dana: thank you for writing that in the "new york post."enter take care. >> thanks, dana. >> dagen: new york nonprofit is helping out in the after math of hurricane -- ian. we talked to frank siller, founder of tunnel to towers, about the devastation in fort myers. that's next.
