the president caps more of our strategic oil reserve and continues his war on fossil fuels. >> todd: while you are paying more for gas, the dallas federal reserve said the average americans like you have taken the steepest drop in more than 25 years under the biden administration, of course, also in quote "the majority of workers real inflation-adjusted wages have failed to keep up with inflation in the past year. for these workers, immediate decline in real wages is a little more than 8.5%. >> carley: as gas prices soar, inflation skyrockets. the average price for a gallon of gas $3.89, but that won't stop president biden from economic achievements. >> since i came into office our economy has created 10 million jobs, 668 manufacturing jobs, proof that made in america is no

longer a slogan, it is a reality. [applause] >> carley: senator tom cotton's response to the president there. what shows. >> the biden administration and progressive democrats in washington have waged a war on fossil fuels rather than unleashing or celebrating roughnecks, they are communist in venezuela or go to radical holism. a display begging them to produce just a little more oil to say they are doing something about the price at the pump that is hurting so many american families. be too that is exactly right. as the price of gas picks up, if the president will face more and more questions about why he is turning to strategic petroleum reserve and possibly venezuela and may be saudi arabia, again, when we have all we need right here. >> todd: in such a reason to ask you the fine folks of texas and throughout the country who are actually in the business of using oil.

we knew that was happening and i think i talked about that for two years now. that next level. not only other countries, but literally our enemies. we are not friends with venezuela. we are not friends with iran. we are not friends with saudi arabia in reality. and we are begging for their oil. for president biden to be on an economic recovery tour, what about this economy is recovered? this economy is bad. it is real bad and you and everybody out there know it. >> carley: absolutely. more on this later in the show. another major story here, federal agents investigating hunter biden and believe they have enough evidence to charge the president some. >> todd: officials claimed the outcome in the case could come everyday. brooke singman following the story for months, broke what is the latest? speak with the fbi finally closing in on charges for hunter biden and former justice department officials that the outcome in the year long investigation into the first son

could be imminent. hunter has been under federal investigation into his overseas business dealings since 2018. fox news first report of the federal prosecutors are winning a number of possible charges against hunter biden including a failure to pay income tax, money laundering, various tax crimes, and lying when buying a gun. hunter biden's attorney said "it is a federal felony for a federal agent to leak information about a grand jury investigation such as this one." we expect the doj will diligently investigate and prosecute such bad actors. many people say it is about time to the public is made aware of what the biden family has been up to peerless >> our democracy was stolen in 2020. former heads of intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies colluding with big tech social media companies and the mainstream media decided, "hey, we don't want the american voter to know what the content of

hunter biden's lap tip are." >> one timothy, covered up information about to the fbi by hunter biden. there have also been allegations, he suppressed evidence about hunter biden provided by tony bobulinski but those claims are also false. but now the decision to charge hunter lies in the hands of the u.s. attorney david weiss. the prosecutor by former president trump. we will be watching for an outcome 32 days to go until the midterm elections, carley. >> carley: brooke singman live, thank you. let us bring in jonathan gilliam, navy seal. what is your initial reaction to all of this? wealth it is interesting, you know when i think about this, i think the word "pardon" comes up because regardless the doj does with hunter biden, you can be assured he will get a pardon from his father.

and the problems that i have over all of this besides this policy of pardoning people, i have never agreed with the way that is, i think what we are seeing is the totality of the circumstances in which hunter biden's lifestyle, 's previous jobs, can the crimes that are connected with this along with national security issues, i'm not sure if those things will ever be investigated. if he is charged with lying or falsifying information while applying for a gun or with this tax information, my worry is that it will stop right there. because when we look at the way the fbi and the doj typically work nowadays with these high level cases is that if they are political in nature or have relationship with the politician, they will not follow those to the totality of the

circumstances. in fact, what they will do is push to the left, slow down the prosecution, they will stop it altogether, or they will minimize it minimize it. >> todd: i think you raise a really interesting point. let's go over the potential charges. they include tax crimes, lobbying, lying on gun paper purchased. some people are saying, look this can be the beginning of the end for hunter. but some alluding to what you are saying, is this an act the doj to criticize and get out in front of this because they know what is going on behind the scenes appear they see the potential that the doj and the courts will go easy on hunter. more of a potential pardon and lying in wait and they want to put pressure on the doj and the courts, which you shouldn't do, but nevertheless before that happens. >> you know, todd, this could go either way. this could be a group in the fbi really trying to do ethical and

moral investigations to follow the law and go after someone, an individual who i think is part of the bigger issue with a family. but to go after individual and prosecute this individual for crimes they have committed. on the other hand, i think they may be doing what they can to put that in line with the doj and executives are pureed on the other hand, you can have a doj and fbi executive level that is extremely left. they are pushing for stuff forward with hunter in order to show that they actually can go after and prosecute somebody who is a liberal full well knowing that it is going to stop at this certain point, and that he will be pardoned. in the long run, if that is the case there is no entry to anybody on the left. >> carley: jonathan, you said that this could stop at the gun

stuff and tech stuff but his father's position of power, the big guy sitting on the board of marie's mom while that may be unethical, do you think it could be illegal? what does your g gut tell you there? >> my gut says not only is it illegal the things they were doing but if you want to prove the relationship between hunter biden and ukraine, for instance, look at the public statement joe biden made as vice president talking about how he was going to stop in the forward movement by the prosecution over there and get rid of that guy. so i think when we look at this, and i'm really concerned as a former fbi agent is national security and we look at the way they went after former president trump because of national security, the fact that this has never been linked is a huge issue for me. >> todd: i think the take away, jonathan, you would agree with this, those that heard what

happened yesterday and said, "oh, the day is finally here in front of my country is finally done and bring down the biden administration." when you dig into the facts that may not be the case. there is a fear that hunter could ultimately in the biden administration and the biden family could still get away with this in the end. >> you know, i agree with you. i think the american public feels about the same way as marshal court at the end of the o.j. simpson trial. we are sick of it were someone is hold them back held accountable for something the left is because whenever something don't like someone from the left goes forward, if it is somebody the left doesn't like or it's an issue or policy there trying to push forward, they will go forward with that with extreme violence in anything to bring that side down. >> carley: jonathan, the doj

indicted 11 pro-life activists who were accused of blocking access to a tennessee abortion clinic. they are facing serious charges, up to 11 years in prison and $250,000 fine. while this is happening though a attack on pro-life clinic have gone completely unpunished. so people will look at this and say it is another example of biased within the department. it is that a fair assessment of the situation? >> currently, this is an excellent point to make because it shows y you the issue before with hunter biden and the doj and the fbi is larger than just the president and his son. when you look at these abortion clinics come against these crimes allegedly occurred and nobody was injured in any of these things. there is a law that exists that is so ferocious that if you get in the way somebody will walking into an abortion clinic, you're facing years in jail and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of

fines. but on the other hand, something happens like firebomb multiple life clinics, nothing is even investigated. if it is, it never goes anywhere. so i think the totality of the circumstances, we love to use that phrase in law enforcement though totality of the circumstances shows you there is a doj and an fbi that leans to the left and ignores any justice that has to do with the right. it is there, it is clear, and the totality of circumstances show it. >> carley: jonathan, thank you for joining us this morning. we always appreciate it if you would >> you got it coming thank you. >> carley: there was a big interview on fox news last night, can you believe it? >> todd: if you are watching tucker at 8:00 p.m. last night, you missed an amazing... paid to ucm on the screen right now he spoke to kanye west when the interview was announced, i thought it would be 15 minutes but it was the full show, it's a full hour and he has more coming

tonight. he talked about a whole lot. one of the reasons that tucker wanted to talk to kanye, he recently wore a white white lives matter teacher and received a lot of criticism. people called him racist and other say it was a publicity stunt. here is what kanye says why he wore that shirt. watch this. >> the answer to white i rode white lives matter on a shirt is because they do. that is the obvious link. >> why do you think -- and i assume the implications matter because they are lives and god created them but why would you consider that to be controversial? >> because the same people that stripped us of our identity and labeled us as a color have told us what it means to be black. in the vernacular that we are supposed to have. >> todd: so much of the

pushback comes from white liberals. and i always dumbfounded by the fact that they have the audacity to tell black america how to think and what to believe. >> carley: first of all, one of the last time we saw kanye west in a political capacity, he sat down with the white house with the former president and always the biggest room and the room. speech 16, this guy is a lot. his demeanor in this interview was much more calm and rational. it was really interesting to hear what he had to say. and he talked about talking about pro-life because so many black babies are aborted. so couple that with a t-shirt, and it is clear that what his message really is is that all lives matter. you see him sitting down with the president there, and he also talks behind the scene so many people close to him say, i know you use it for trump but please

don't wear the hat or make this public because it will hurt your career. take a listen to this. >> my so-called friends/handlers around me told me if i said that i liked trump, my career would be over in my life would be over. they said stuff like people get killed for wearing a hat like that. they threatened my life. i had someone call me last night and said, "anybody wearing a white lives matter shirt will be green lit." that means they will beat them up if they wear it. if they green light me... be one this is an amazing interview, he was very calm, cool, collected and i think we can take a lot from this but yet a lot more to say, god loves media and the 2024 election. joe concha will be here to unpack all of that. >> carley: more of that interview coming up later. turning to the midterms now, arizona has a must-win state for both parties. border security is there top

have to be concerned about the ones wearing camouflage bringing the drugs. a lot of what is going on at the border as a distraction for the drug cartels operations with the fentanyl. this is what arizona hands care about right now but my opponent said on day one when she becomes attorney general, she wants to appoint a climate change czar. they won i will fight the criminals. that is the biggest difference between my opponent and myself. >> todd: like so many democrats this election cycle, they are focusing on climate. they are focusing on abortion. when you sit down and talk to the arizona border's clinic are they asking you about those topics or are they focusing on things like the border in the economy? >> exactly. absolutely. they are worried about the economy and they have the highest inflation rates across the country. but the border is a top of mind issue because of fentanyl plaguing our communities. almost 100% of fentanyl coming into the country is coming from south of the border.

so besides that, they are also looking at california right now. my opponent, she wants to implement green new deal policies like in california where they have rolling energy blackouts. california is not the example that arizona wants to emulate. they have needles on the streets and in front of restaurants and housing in vacant rooms. that is not a model to emulate it. that is an embarrassment. you can't let arizona go the way of california. arizonans are concerned about rising crime. every single city with democratic policies across the country whether ending cash bail like what is happening in illinois and new york. every single one of these policies have turned the cities into low listen chaos. this is where we have to push back against this dangerous agenda that is happening. >> carley: it certainly does feel that way and crime is getting so bad because soft on crime prosecutors at a local

level. if you become the state's top prosecutor, how would you handle that? what if there is a county attorney that disagrees with your stance tough on crime? >> this is a good question. you have to understand right now, look at letitia james who is weaponized in office? i recognize my office has limitations as well, but we have to make sure we get the big county attorneys elected all across the state and country. i'm honored to have the endorsement of every single law enforcement organization in arizona and i think what you see right now is the police backing candidates but we recognize all of us in every democrat elected with county attorney positions or district attorney positions are george soros funded and have an agenda. even san francisco had to get rid of george soros prosecutor a few months ago. i'm optimistic for the future but as attorney general, what i have been calling for here in arizona is to give the authority to the attorney general's office

to take over the felony cases, that the county needs to prosecute. >> todd: thank you for coming on the program, we will be watching. >> carley: so signs to trump abe hamadeh. >> todd: a cafe destroyed with smashed in, spray paint over the walls and furniture inside. >> carley: the owner said it is retaliation for coffee with a copy pants she was to host on that very same day. she is here to share her story next. ♪ ♪ fund pou mack so who's tougher, kid? me or you? you are, tony. can you put me down, now? what? you want to go higher? okay. i said down, you old goat! i am the g.o.a.t. mahindra - the official tractor of tough and stewart-haas racing. come on, tony. put me down.

are 18 and an illegal immigrant and don't know the language or anything about washington, d.c., politics, you can then vote. how did this happen and what will the ramifications of this be? >> that is right. you can vote, you can vote in the capital of the united states of america. if you look at the burden of proof here, i mean, how are they going to prove that they are residents? already they can vote in the district of columbia and you don't need to show a photo i.d. but show up and present your name. so how do these folks who aren't even citizens, what is their burden of proof? do they provide a photocopied utility bill? this is an absolute mess. the far left extreme leftist focused there when they should be focused on education, police, and small business. >> todd: in reality, i don't think and affect the result will matter. the democrats could put a blog

up there and it would win because d.c. is so democrats puritans is the principle of this. this is undemocratic and not the way the system is supposed to work. patrick mara, thank you for your time. >> carley: he is much more than a blog. >> todd: the next hour of "fox and friends first" starts right now. >> we begin with a fox news alert, a federal prosecutor could bring charges against hunter biden, just 32 days from the mid-term election. you're watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning, i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: and i'm todd piro. many worry joe biden's justice department is working to protect the first son. >> they could have indicted huntera long time ago, they are protecting hunter, not getting into the bobulinski information, which is right
