demanding answers from cantrell seen sitting in first class during overseas trip on friday, urging city of new orleans to disclose class of travel and method of payment for the flight. cantrell called flying economy unsafe for african american and uses money for luxury flights and racking up expenses which she's been ordered to pay. next hour of "fox and friends first" starts now. >> todd: republicans show they are poised to take back the house with only 218 needed to control the lower chamber, you are watching "fox and friends first" on busy wednesday morning, i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. the senate coming down to the wire with four seats in arizona,

georgia, and pennsylvania considered toss-ups, republicans are making final pitches on the issues that matter most to voters. >> mark kelly got a few more years in office, would continue to vote rubberstamp for joe biden's failed agenda. i think democrats will vote republican up and down the ticket. >> john fetterman has been blocking their efforts and my opponent is fighting cash bail. >> we got to get out and vote and change it, i'm tired of hearing people complain, all i'm hearing now in washington is people complaining. they did it, people on the left did it. >> carley: marianne with more on what the president is thinking.

>> marianne: latest fox new power rarngs shows gop 231 to 204 over dems and factor in toss-ups, republicans still ahead 215 to 189 with 31 potential toss-ups. in the senates gop has a lead with four toss-ups there, despite number of showing republican advantage, president biden touting what he's managed to do so far. >> president biden: they're concerned if i'm getting anything done, look what i've gotten done. name me a president in recent history that has gotten done what i've gotten done. it is a matter of can you do the job. >> marianne: nevada, arizona, georgia and pennsylvania senate races will determine which party will cease control of the

senate. candidate mehmet oz continues to zero in on crime. >> there is reason why the fraternal order of police for pennsylvania endorsed me unanimously. john fetterman is blocking the effortss to protect. >> marianne: bernie sanders says democrats should spend less time talking about -- economy as high inflation accepteds prices skyrocketing. >> people think that republicans are going to do better job for them than democrats, all we have to do is take the attack to know ares on the economy. don't be on the defensive, you have 60's % of people living paycheck to paycheck, millions working for salvation wages. >> marianne: tomorrow's consumer price index may make it harder

because it could prompt it is fed to get more aggressive with the plan to hike interest rates. >> carley: hone nothing on one of the races, pennsylvania candidate john fetterman used a computer to understand questions in his latest one-on-one interview, even the reporter admits she had a hard time covering the conversation. >> it wasn't clear he was understanding our conversation. >> i hear someone speaking, sometimes precise, i use captioning. >> his campaign required he be allowed to use a transcription program. >> carley: feajohn fetterman sa he is required to use a captioning system and he will be better by the time he takes office if he wins. todd, that is the question, he was at one time up by double digits and the race is

tightening. real clear politics has john fetterman up by 4% now. >> todd: this is serious stuff, not making fun, pointing out a health issue and msnbc pointing out serious questions about his ability to communicate. seniority is rigorous job, is he up to the task and able to carry out the duties of the office we had congressman comer on earlier and he agrees. >> let's face it, health is an issue in an election, if you are running against someone who is not fit physically or mentally, that is an issue and could tilt it into mehmet oz's favor. we have to have healthy senators who can make it to work and perform the job. >> carley: the debate,

one-on-one debate between oz and john fetterman, oz wanted more time and john fetterman has been cautious on that. issue of crime, his priorities when president biden went to pennsylvania, he used the opportunity to ask the president to legalize marijuana. that is his one thing. crime, 186 kids shot this year in philadelphia alone. and he's lieutenant governor, in office right now. >> todd: i wonder if the democrats plan is to get john fetterman elected and under -- get to point john fetterman successor if he were to step down early in his reign, we'll see, it's a six-year term. if he gets in by january, and by february can't do the job, that is disingenuous.

>> carley: we wish him the best when it comes to the health issues, like dr. mehmet oz said, i feel for him so much as a man, as a patient. oz is a doctor, he says it boils down to if he can serve the people of pennsylvania. >> todd: great point, strokes are no joke, we wish him the best. over to georgia, raphael warnock reportedly evicted disadvantaged tenants in an apartment building owned by his ch church. many of those are veterans and people with disabilitdisabiliti. raphael warnock raked in $126,000 a year, on top of $7400 monthly housing allowance. his opponent herschel walker is promising to cover overdue rent

balance. i will pay the past due rent to keep raphael warnock from evicting these people. >> carley: interesting comment from president biden jumped to hunter biden when asked about criminal charges. >> president biden: i have confidence in my son, i love him and he's on the straight and narrow and has been for a couple years now and i'm so proud of him. >> todd: sean duffy here next.

defending his son hunter when asked about federal charges he could soon be facing. >> president biden: i'm proud of my son, this is a kid, not a kid, grown man, who got hooked on like many families have had happened, hooked on drugs. he's overcome, established a new life, i'm confident what he says and does is what happens. >> carley: sean duffy, good morning. you feel for the president in that moment, he responded as any loving father was. there were no questions about

overseas business dealings or tax scomb gun charges he could be facing. >> sean: one moment i feel bad for joe biden as a father, when you have a son that has gone off the tracks, you don't throw them under the bus, you support them. when you're part of a criminal enterprise, you don't throw a co-conspirrator under the bus, so joe biden can't throw him under the bus, he could say, you are part of this deal and you are the reason i'm getting attacked by the fbi. you were compromised, dad, so joe knows he might get exposed and has to protect hunter, especially in public interviews. >> todd: the the sadness doesn

take away from the fact of what hunter is alleged to have done. former hawaii congresswoman, someone you worked with, tulsi gabbard issuing rebuke of the democratic party while announcing she's leaving it. >> my loyalties are very clear, i love our country. i took oath as service member and soldier and member of congress to support and defend the constitution, an oath i take extremely seriously. when you look at this party, today's democratic party controlled by fanatical ideologues who hate freedom. >> todd: listen to democrat turned republicans who joined us last hour. >> the party has left her as the party has left me. >> they have just shut down anybody that wants to talk

contrary to their narrative. >> these folks are not just writing and seeing writing on the wall, they are smelling it. along the border, a lot of latinos will run from the democratic party. >> todd: is the democratic party in real, serious trouble, sean? >> sean: tulsi gabbard was a common sense democrat, not a republican. she is right, the party has left her. they are so racist. her statement was brilliant, i think it is gutsy of her to say what she said in a public format. good on her. i think the party is at a crossroads. will they go back to the party of bill clinton or continue on this aoc march to marxism.

they get thumpod november 8, lose mazively in the house, if republicans win by 52 seats in the senate, 54 or 55 seats, sends a message to democrats, they have to change course and the powers that be inside the parties, that is the only hope of saving the democratic power. >> carley: fox released power rankings yesterday, showing republicans are sort of regaining some ground they lost over the last few months, especially when it comes to the economy, up by one point in the generic ballot. it is 50/50 when it come the to the senate and the fact that the president said we may not be entering recession, chance we could enter a slight recession. how do you think that is going

to play? >> sean: people don't believe that, we see the world through our own eyes and pocketbooks, we know the economy is partial and we know joe biden is lying about that. i look at this election cycle and the trend line and poll suggest in favor of republicans, number one. number two, if you look at polling, oftentimes pollsters have been getting it wrong, they don't get it wrong on behalf of republicans, but democrats, take that into consideration. i think republicans are going to have a banner night. talk about issues voters care about, economy, inflation, jobs as opposed to what democrats are running on, abortion, republicans have 35-seat night in the house and senate, i think we will win by 50 to 52. >> todd: have a great wednesday.

>> janice: happy wednesday. take a look at temperatures across the midwest. we have a cold front moving through, bringing chance of snow flurries for the upper mississippi river valley. showers and thunderstorms moving along this front, some could turn severe for parts of the mid-mississippi river valley and

toward northeast bring potential for flash flooding, there is severe storm threat today, for a lot of big cities including memphis up to nashville, heavy rain to the northeast and mid-atlantic and i think wellers into friday and saturday for folks for northern new england. another round of risk of flash flooding this week as we head toward end of the work week. this is tropical storm carl, we were talking about this yesterday in the gulf of mexico, this is where we look for tropical development, not going to move anywhere quickly, it will impact mexico, some moisture will come up to southern u.s., parts of the southeast. we'll update you at foxweather.com. over to you. >> carley: listen to this,

california governor gavin newsom signing bill into law to punish doctors for spreading covid-19 misinformation. california doctor and phd research scientist joins me. doctor, it is a law, governor of california signed. you have to wonder what effect this will have on doctors and patients in california. >> it is a tragedy governor news tribune signed this into law, at time he was vetos bills, we were optimistic he would veto this, it is unconstitutional, unethical and every way, shape and form, inappropriate. he signed it late on a friday night. we know the impacts, i have heard several stories of physicians who refuse to discuss

covid with their patients. one surgeon i know was about to perform a delicate surgery on a patient that would be impacted by inflammation and the patient asked, should i have the booster or vaccination and the surgeon told them, i can't tell you what i feel. go do your own research, one of many examples and this will become worse over time. >> carley: doctors are self-cnnuring so they will not get call up in lawsuits. california bill defines medical misinformation as false information contradicted by consensus contrary to standard of care. who gets to decide what misinformation was? what was once considered misinformation in many cases

turned out to be true. >> that is right. that is the problem, with something like covid, still relatively new in the scientific realm, we have things changing on a day-to-day basis and what was misinformation yesterday is fact today, when they said thinking the vaccine prevents you from getting or spreading covid, that is no longer the case. if you had said that a year ago, nine months ago, you would be sense sensured. it violates the sacred physician/patient trust. >> carley: the justification for this law, are there people spreading misinformation? if not, why would the governor think this is necessary?

>> this is ridiculous. when you think about it, covid-19, as far as we know is largely a thing of the past. there are still people becoming infectd and dying from it, but not a pandemic, the bill quotes source for believing physicians are primary source of misinformation issue the source is media. they are citing the mainstream media saying doctors are biggest spreader of misinformation. it is decided by medical board, run by litigation lawyer issue not physicians alone. you have to wonder who is deciding this and is there a list of misinformation or not and there is not. >> carley: this is a concerning topic we will continue to follow. thank you so much >> thank you. >> carley: the biden admini

administration attempt to police misinformation landed them in the middle of awe lawsuit. >> todd: joe concha is next. i tried everything to remove fabric odors, but my clothes still smelled. until i finally found new downy rinse and refresh! unlike many other products, downy rinse & refresh doesn't cover odors or leave residues... it helps remove them. it's safe on all fabrics and gentle on skin -- just add to your fabric softener tray. downy rinse & refresh helps remove odors up to 3 times better than detergent alone, so fabrics look and smell clean. try new downy rinse & refresh. guaranteed or your money back. find it in the fabric softener aisle or online.

so how many flu shots have you given to people? me? about 1000. walgreens... millions. okay, now it's your turn! yay, you guys are gonna match! thank you! when you need to talk flu shots, our pharmacists are here.

>> todd: biden administration

facing a lawsuit, filing a suit claiming throughout this case we uncovered disturbing amount of collusion between big tech and big government to censure freedom of speech. >> carley: joe concha, author of "come on man" joins us. remember jen psaki admitted the administration was flagging posts? now attorney generals are saying issue not on our watch. >> joe: amazing and your last guest articulated the problem with that. for instance, when the president of the united states was doing cnn town hall, he said if you get the vaccine, you can't spread covid-19, which is not accurate, it doesn't stop

transmission. this is example of why the government should not be deciding what is true and what is not true. we all remember the government disinformation board and the disaster that was before it became reality. this lawsuit names 67 government officials or entities as having worked hand in hand with social media to censure information, what is going right or wrong with the economy, when they claim zero inflation when it was at a 40-year high. louisiana attorney general landry says this egregious act will be met with full-hearted defense of the rights of the american people. this is part of the democratic playbook, specifically the hunter biden laptop story, which is verified to be true of the

e-mails. they got away with it then and will again, unless elon musk takes over a platform like twitter which serves as the democrats ultimate piece, todd. >> todd: politico reporting president biden 80th birthday topic has been met with trepidation in the west wing. plan is to downplay the birthday and focus on the work. my take, the white house knows joe biden is old, they will try to keep the public from knowing joe biden is old, is that your takeaway? >> joe: absolutely and completely. look at poll after poll, overwhelming majority of americans do not want this president to seek a sequel, voters say they believe he is too old. if joe biden runs for a second term and wins, you will have an 86-year-old version of joe biden

in the white house at the end of the second term. they see the 79-year-old vergsz and the way he speaks and how little he works and something they do not want rightly, not just joe biden, you have mcconnell in his 80'ss, most should be enjoying life in retirement instead of running the country. >> carley: president biden defended his age last night, watch this. >> look what i've gotten done, name a president in recent history gotten as much done as i have. not a joke. may not like what i got done, vast majority of the people like what i've gotten done. can you do the job? >> carley: he says it is not a joke, joe, what do you think? >> joe: did he just tell jake tapper, i hadn't third degree tha, that vast majority of the

american people think that he's done a good job? because i look at polls like gallup that show 86% of the american people say they are not satisfied with the direction of the country, most polls show 75% in the wrong direction and don't want him to seek a second term. odd thing to say considering the american people feel otherwise, i hope jake tapper pushed back on that, i have to watch the full interview. >> carley: the president's birthday is november 20th, help birthday, sad day at the white house. joe, thank you. >> joe: thank you, my daughter had her birthday yesterday. >> todd: happy birthday, joe concha daughter. >> joe: it is costing a fortune, that i know. >> carley: happy birthday to

her. awful story here, 1.7 billion dollars, how much money was stolen from senior citizens by scammers in the u.s. last year. one victim was angie kinnard's father who lost $750,000. she joined us earlier to tell her story. >> over the course of three to four years, my father was in an online relationship and denied the fact this wasn't a real person, he believed he was dating someone and helping them. he was 83 when he passed away, he deteriorated and ran out of money. by the time i really learned magnitude of this, it takes time for the fbi to do the investigation and we uncovered this group of nigerrian scammers. >> carley: mosts common type of fraud are romance scams, tech

support and identity theft. >> todd: why was the fbi willing to pay 1 million dollars to the man behind the steele dossier? >> carley: and heading toward recession. >> president biden: if it is a recession, it will be a slight recession, we will move down slightly. >> carley: cheryl casone has the facts next. if you wanna go fast, go faster. and if you got the devil on your shoulder... take him for a ride. why is guy fieri in the neighbors' kitchen? it's slider sunday! sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday!

>> todd: durham revealing the fbi offered christopher steele one million dollars. >> carley: what is going on here? brooke singman has details. >> brooke: john durham questioned first convince of chenko over the fbi trump

dossier. testifying group of agents met with christopher steele about his dossier, which contained salacious information. he revealed the fbi offered steele $1 million to corroborate allegations in the dossier and steele could not do so. durham asked him on the date of the carter page fisaapplication, did you have any information to corroborate that information? no. it was used to monitor former aide carter page and authored by steele, commissioned by fusion gps and paid for by the hillary clinton campaign through perkins. and dan chenko was source of

information that steele used in the dossier. danchenko was blamed for the probe, and claimed steele dossier caused fbi to engage in troubling conduct. house oversight committee member james comer says they will hold the fbi accountable if they take back control of the congress after the midterm. listen. >> this is another sad day for the fbi, if they use million dollars to justify actions this agency budget needs to be under close examination. >> carley: this is the second trial and danchenko pleaded not guilty to all charges. >> carley: thank you. talk about hedging, president biden finally acknowledging the possibility of what he's calling a slight recession in the near futures after months of denialg.

>> todd: just before tomorrow's cpi report after making three consek tifr rate hikes. cheryl casone is here with more, >> cheryl: good morning. interesting to talk about are we or aren't we in a recession? two quarters of negative growth says recession, longstanding definition of recession. if you're president joe biden and democrats, you don't want to say that, here is what the president had to say instead. >> president biden: i don't think there will be recession, if there is, it will be a slight recession. >> you said a slight recession is possible? >> it is possible. it is possible. >> cheryl: possible or maybe we're already in one, we've had two negative reads on gdp. tomorrow we will get consumer

price index big report. august 8.3%, tomorrow we're expecting 8.1%. the target is 2%, a wide disconnect right now. are more rate hikes coming? yes, future markets pricing in 90% probability of three basis point hike. >> carley: when will this end? not for a while. the president talking about gas prices and saudi arabia saying they will cut production, he says because of that, consequences are coming. >> cheryl: what are we going to do with the saudis? president biden met in july with salman and the issue of jamal khashoggi came up.

in another interview last night with another network, here is what he said aboutlet issue of oil production. >> president biden: there will be consequences for what they have done with russia, i will not give -- there will be consequences. >> cheryl: what are we going to do here? he was asked and didn't answer, we don't have power over saudis and opec plus includes russia we are kowtowing to the russians issue gas prices sitting at $3.92, oil almost 90 bucks, not 1twenty, pushing 90. >> carley: if oil goes to $100 per barrel, vladamir putin can make billion dollars per day in oil and gas, which is further fuelling his war in ukraine that the united states and president

biden has taken a stance against. >> todd: i also read nobody messes with a biden. >> carley: and he is a quarter puerto rico an. >> todd: two rollouts americans await with baited breath, mc rib and season three of fpn. >> cheryl: we have your honor aring shows like mine and new shows, kelsey grammar will be back, duck family treasure will be on this slate, mansion global. casey had a baby on maternity and american dream home and so excited for season three of american dream home. look, prices are going up and people having tough time finding and buying their dream home. we go to plays where you can find a

great home, blue ridge, georgia, gulf shores, alabama, back to hawaii and key west. i went to key west and hawaii. you will see these things on your television screen. >> carley: wednesdays 9 p.m. >> todd: i'd venture to say, better than the mc rib. cheryl casone better than a shamrock shake. one topic that did not come up in the president's interview last night was border crisis. nicole wants to talk about it, she is up next. >> carley: look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> brian: here is what is on tap, awaiting key inflation reports and numbers and what it is like for the american family.

another man shot in a separate shooting. authorities are on massive man manhunts. a retired police officer blames the da. >> this is on the district attorney, he is a serial killer by proxy. 3300 shootings this year, last year we had 2300 all year, we are just at october. shootings have skyrocketed. a 13-year-old kid was executed, there is no repercussion because uncle larry will take care of them. >> todd: the numbers are up from 130% in 2021. >> carley: jay tapper not asking

a single question about the border crisis last night. even sanctuary cities calling for federal help to deal with migrants. >> todd: new york city schools are being force to cope with it in classrooms. >> carley: you represent statte island. what can be done about this? >> yeah, city comptroller is estimating it will cost $1 billion to start. the president continues to ignore the border crisis he created, with executive orders he put in place day one, undoing policies of president trechl stemming the flow. we've asked our mayor to join us in pleading with the president

to secure our border and reinstate remain in mexico. let's call on nancy pelosi to pass american border for security act to address the flow. small percentage of the four million from 60 countries are legitimate asylum claims. the president should add judges on the border to ensure the individuals crossing are legitimate, settle this before they enter the country. with court hearings taking a year to two years, individuals do not have the ability to work leg legally to pay for housing and healthcare. this is the problem that president biden created. republicans have offered solutions to fix it.

chuck schumer and nancy pelosi do not want to bring a vote to resolve the issue. >> todd: there are 2.1 million encounters and joe biden has yet to address the nation on this issue. you mention republicans coming to the table with solutions. the republican candidate has a plan to deal with this, here is what she has to say. >> my plan is the mosts bold plan this country has seen for a state to take back control of the border. we will declare invasion on the border on day one and get the national guard there and other governors will help out and stop people from coming across. >> todd: talking about the state of arizona response if he were to be elected. on the federal level, win the house and senate, will they push for lake type of approach throughout the country? >> yes, republicans are prepared

with their border security act of america that will give cbp tools to defeat drug cartels conducting human trafficking and drug trafficking. at the border they caught dozens on the terrorist watch list. there is a fentanyl crisis, rainbow colored pills on the streets of our cities are happening because the southern border is open, drug enforcement agency is telling us so. get the staffing they need to defeat the cartels once and for all. why is nancy pelosi, joe biden refusing to do this? republicans are prepared day one to hold the president accountable and have the power of the purse and leverage if we take back the house and that is what is needed here, reality is

the president created this problem, the vice president ignores it and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi to ones like my mayor refuse to acknowledge we need to secure our border. end one-party rule in new york and america. >> carley: thank you for joining us. with that, "fox and friends first" starts right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> you are looking at new orleans, saints had high hopes. new orleans beautiful city with wonderful history, consist of many districts from french t
