sometimes people feel like their child with special needs could be a burden. actually they are exactly what we need to be healed. >> dana: you are amazing. >> sandra: thank you for the inspiring message. we appreciate you and we'll go about our day now feeling a lot more inspired. thank you so much. thank you, sandra for being here. >> dana: "the faulkner focus" is next, julie banderas is in for harris. >> well, fox news alert. we begin with the mid-terms almost upon us. biden and democrats scrambling to hold their slim majorities in congress. on the ballot the border crisis, raging crime and especially -- especially the skyrocketing cost of living these days. "the faulkner focus" and i'm julie banderas. happy friday i'm in for harris today. 25 days and counting until the election, tuesday, november 8th. americans are hurting as they face crises left and right. the president yesterday tiptoeing around some of voters'

top concerns. president biden speaking last night in california, 150 miles from the border with mexico, by the way, which he has visited exactly we're counting 0 times. no mention of the crisis there. he also ignored the reality of surging crime rates and resorted to his familiar blame game on gas prices, which are on the rise yet again. biden also touted economic progress despite yesterday's brutal inflation report. the last one before the vote. ouch. prices up 8.2% still at a 40-year high. and the president seems to be keenly aware that it is a very big problem for his party. >> president biden: we've got an election in a month. voters have to decide, democrats are working to bring down the cost of things and let's talk about around the kitchen table from prescription drugs to health insurance and energy bills and more.

republicans win the inflation will get worse. >> working folks are losing big time. their wages are rising but inflation is rising more. this continues to be the soft underbelly of the biden economy. middle class folks are getting slammed by higher prices. >> more on his comments later. peter doocy is traveling with the president in california with us. good morning, peter. >> good morning, julie. people in this state paying more than $6 a gallon on average for regular gas. curious about what the president might be telling them he will do to help got this. >> president biden: the price of gas is still too high and need to keep working to bring it down. i'll have more to say that about that next week. >> a gas price plan is incoming

but president biden's focus otherwise has been on plans he has already put into law. inflation reduction act, infrastructure law both on the books already for months. but neither stopping inflation yet. >> president biden: overall inflation was 2% over the last three months. that's down from 11% over the prior three months. that's progress. >> president biden is also continuing to look abroad for blame concerning these high gas prices as administration officials admit they did ask the saudis to push off production cuts until after the mid-terms but insisting their reasoning was about prices and not politics. >> president biden: we're about to talk to them. we're about to talk to them. >> something he is not talking about on this trip immigration. something else he is not talking about on this trip crime, two

big issues in this state. >> i've always learned you should never ignore your problems because they'll get bigger. maybe the president should take advice on that one. peter doocy, thank you. there is a grim economic outlook from one of the world's top bankers, jamie dimon with this statement today. there are significant head winds immediately in front of us stubbornly high inflation leading the higher global interest rates. the war in ukraine and the fragile state of oil supply and prices. while we are hoping for the best we always remain vigilant and are prepared for bad outcomes. florida senator rick scott chair of the national republican senatorial committee joins me now. like i just said, we should never ignore our problems and it seems this administration is doing just that. they aren't talking about crime or the immigration problem. but they get mad when we talk about the economy. i'm not quite sure what the message is from the white house.

>> well, they are like a little kid that doesn't want to take responsibility. joe biden and the democrats have caused this inflation that we've got. it is hurting families. i grew up in a poor family and watched my mom struggle with inflation. people are fed up with this stuff. fed up with a president who doesn't care about gas prices and food prices. they have a president who doesn't care about the crime that's happening. doesn't worry about it. he has secret service around him all the time. crime is rampant around the country. people are worried about it and their futures and the border. he doesn't want to talk about any of these things. if he talks about it he blames it on somebody else and takes no responsibility. it is exactly what you tell your kids they can't do. you have to take responsibility for your problems. >> i hear you. my parenting lectures are all over the place here. i wish somebody would parent the president. larry kudlow said the middle class is getting slammed by inflation and working folks are losing big time. the president argues, because of his economic plan, the united states is actually in a stronger

position. how does he argue that? how can the president be spinning this into a positive? >> he is in la la land. he never had to build a business or take risk never been a poor kid worried how you put food on table. he doesn't have any idea what people are dealing with. and so people -- i'm on the campaign trail with herschel walker today and dr. oz yesterday. people are fed up with the biden agenda. they don't like high gas prices and food prices and like all this crime. it is all around the country. you see people attacking law enforcement officers and you see all this crime. people are fed up right now. we'll have a big win in november because how bad the biden administration has done. >> not if you ask president biden. he thinks if republicans win inflation will get worse. i'm not sure how much worse it

could possibly get and why i believe democrats and the democratic party are so vulnerable right now. the chairman of the obama administration council of economic advisors it's the single biggest threat and inflation could be worse than it looks. the fact that median cpi is growing at an #% annual rate and steadily risen is the biggest threat to my overall expectation that inflation will be slowing to more like a 4.5 annual rate. i also want to repeat core excluding food and energy is up 6.6%. it's the biggest rate rise since august of 1982. where and when is this going to get better? >> it's not going to get better until we start -- we have to make sure we drill for more oil and gas and do it safely. it's the biggest driver of food costs, of every cost out there is this unbelievable relentless

attack on our fossil fuels. fossil fuels have given us the economy we have. we are blessed in this country. we have natural resources. we need to use them efficiently and safely. what these democrats want to do, they want to take us back and back and back to where we don't have all this opportunity. it hurts the poor. it hurts the poor in this country and across the world. people in poor countries with these gas prices can't afford to take care of their kids. >> i want everyone to check out the op-eds. new york, inflation roars on as biden keeps bragging about his spending that is still fueling it. the "wall street journal" editorial board. inflation and the mid-term elections the main legacy of the 117th congress is a decline in living standards. here is a look at all that spending with the president in office less than two years. some of those out lays overlap.

$trillion dollars. i can't believe the numbers coming out of my mouth. >> they want to keep spending more. every week i've been in the senate for four years, every week chuck schumer has another spending bill that biden will sign. democrats go along with it. it's what is hurting our poorest families and people on fixed incomes. look at social. what will happen to that when you see -- they need this increase. what will happen now to how long it will survive? democrats don't care. they just keep saying the republicans will do something wrong. no, you are doing it joe biden. you are hurting the medicare and social security every day with your spending. >> before i let you go as chair you are tasked with winning the majority of the senate with your party. you need to flip one seat. the senate is a toss-up right now with 25 days until the

election. four races hang in the balance. pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, nevada. how is this going to play out and which party do you believe should be worried? >> clearly worried i'm in georgia, all the democrats can do now with herschel walker is throw a smear campaign. they can't talk about the issues. he will have a great debate tonight. i was with him a few minutes to go. he will define who the democrats are. high crime, lower wages, high inflation. that's who they are. they don't want parents involved in the schools. open borders. that's what the democrats have done. they are trying to run away from it. we'll get 52 plus seats and stop this radical left wing agenda. >> florida senator rick scott, great to see you. have a wonderful weekend. thank you. >> bye-bye. >> the border crisis raging. just before the election. not that the president is talking about it, but the administration is doing something about it. questions over how much it will help as critics say the border

is still wide open. plus critics lighting up the president in the wake of opec oil cuts. the move likely to send gas prices soaring even higher. pain at the pump, a massive problem for democrats in the mid-terms. >> that's why americans are in such a bad mood right now. they feel it every time they go to the grocery store and the gas pump. it is not something you can spin because people feel it right in the wallet. about two years ago i realized that jade was overweight. i wish i would have introduced the fresh food a lot sooner. after farmer's dog she's a much healthier weight. she's a lot more active. and she's able to join us on our adventures. get started at longlivedogs.com

>> did you know venezuelans return to mexico now? >> no, we did not know anything. >> please receive us. have benevolence with venezuela because we are in need. that's why we're here, pleading. we left everything in venezuela with our kids and we came to th extena ha to receive . >> griff jenkins live in that ia sad reality a lo ofenezuelans. >> i is. we an the mexican side her you can sea path where the migrancome. its litteredh trash. many of the venezuelans asl as cubbians haven in the pipeline this journey e long cun passport littered on , columbiapassport.let me take sky drone camera. the reason why it's a popular crossing is because it is so very shallow.

as you can see the migrants just walk across but this sector, del rio sector has had nearly 10,000 apprehensions crossings in just the span of one week along with 3300 known gotaways. they have 39 rescues and tragically one death as well. for those venezuelans who are just finding out they're very upset about it. look at this video we just shot a few moments ago. a smuggler coming on a motorcycle to drop off a migrant. he was actually columbian. that was the passport i was showing. it is coming from all over. they have had more than 41 countries since the fiscal year began coming here to include syria, yemen, and even iran. last saturday four iranians. we shot this video yesterday of the transfer, the first group of venezuelans being title 42 into a mexico official van. we don't know where they weren't. as you saw from that group that

arrived, more venezuelans are making this crossing and continue to do so and why a clerk for the mayor here in mexico tells me that he hopes the biden administra the u.s. goverllo moreo trd stem the tid migrants theoming finally one final note. secry mayorkas is travelinto tes where we.lus hours from s where he needso come ee what's happening. send it back to you. >> thank you. steve hilton host of the next revolution joins me now. just watching griff's story sort of reminds you of the grim reality what's going on on our border. the question is whether or not the administration is turning a blind eye or ignorant to it or even paying attention to it. i'm not quite sure what is going often on. there have been more than 2 million encounters in this fiscal year. kamala harris declared in an

interview last month the border is secure. i mean, does this administration have any idea what's going on at the border? >> i think it's all of what you said and worse. let's remember that the reason so many people are coming is because biden himself personally and through their policies said please come. they literally said we want -- he asked for a surge at the border. that message was heard right across the south of america. and so that's why people are coming because they were invited to come by biden and his administration. and now weeks before an election where they are panicking about losing seats because of the border crisis that is so evident to everyone, suddenly they say don't come. we'll send you back. who believes a word of it in terms of a long-term strategy to secure the border? of course that's not what it is. the total incoherence of their policy just at the time when they're saying all this about people from venezuela, they are

acting to prop up the venezuelan regime. the total basket case regime of maduro by trying to do an oil deal with him to try and save him by buying his oil so that they can somehow get gas prices down, another result of their own stupid policies. the whole thing is completely disgraceful. >> what's disgraceful is kamala harris was responsible for determining the root cause and the root cause, by the way, mrs. vice president that you were support to uncover are not behind the migrant surge but the cause in open borders. that's according to the "new york post." instead the biden administration just announced a new border enforcement operation with mexico that includes a parole program, you could call it to provide a legal pathway to venezuelans. they are being told they'll go back to mexico if they come to the united states. we just heard from griff that this essentially could provide a legal pathway, could it not?

>> exactly. the whole thing is a complete mess. if you are a migrant, if you are someone fleeing the disaster of collapsing economies and societies in places like venezuela, of course it is not surprising you will come and you cling to every piece of hope, any piece of information that you can find to justify that terrible risky journey that people have to make. for reasons we all sympathize with and understand and why you have to have a really clear, consistent, coherent policy. no, there is a legal way to come to america. we all support legal immigration. i myself am a beneficiary of that. i'm a u.s. citizen now. we love the concept of legal controlled immigration. but what we aren't going to have is a complete free for all at the border which disadvantages some of the people with the biggest claim to be welcomed into the country. >> ignoring your problems don't make them go away. the administration isn't

addressing immigration. we're paying more for gas. democrats and white house can't be happy about that. the national average is $3.90 up more than $0.60 from a year ago and $0.20 from a month ago and it will only get worse when the massive opec oil output cuts kick in next month. a new op-ed titled biden begging saudis not to stop oil production before mid-terms. there is an easy way for am to prevent another shock in world markets. produce more oil. what is so hard -- why is that so hard for this administration to understand? produce more oil so we aren't relying on the saudis? >> of course, and the venezuelans and iran. we have a revolution going on in

iran and they are are siding with the oppressive tyrants murdering young women. it is so disgusting. why? because they're completely captured by the hard left ideologues, activist base and need constantly to virtue to them about climate and how serious they are. what they've done is one of the most irresponsible partisan schemes in presidential history, looting our strategic oil reserves for an election bribe that didn't even last until the election. now they're back to square one after having sent our oil reserves, including to china. this is completely irresponsible. their energy policy out of all of the disasters that they've accomplished just in less than two years is clearly the most disastrous of them all. completely incoherent and irresponsible and there is a solution right there that they could take but it is ideology that prevents them. >> thank you very much for coming on today.

great points as always. thank you. possibly a political hail mary. president biden hasn't got many campaign invites these days but he is set to stump for john fetterman in pennsylvania as dr. oz closes the gap in the polls. what's that all about? plus it is one of the top memes out there. thanks, obama and democratic candidates taking the ironic meaning. the former president staying off the campaign trail despite pleas for help. the power panel next. >> this white house and the democrat party has really turned their back on the suffering of american people. if we stay on message and talk about the economy and crime. that's a big issue especially in wisconsin and pennsylvania, we'll win.

whatsoever. >> he is attacking me for the same thing he is doing. >> good upbringing. i guess what puzzles me about that with that upbringing why has he turned against america? >> down and dirty debate in wisconsin last night between ron johnson and democratic challenger barnes. they accuse one another of being extremists on abortion, not supporting cops and traveling on the taxpayer dime. the real clear politics average of polls has johnson up by six points and now barnes the state's lieutenant governor has called president obama, the former president, to help boost his campaign. barnes shouldn't hold his breath. cnn reporting many people who have spoken with obama say his approach in the fall campaign will remain limited and careful. that caution is because obama tells people his presence fires up republican opposition as much

as it rallies democrat supporters. power panel, lisa boothe and a senior advisor to hillary clinton. this is an interesting take why he is being cautious by not campaigning for his own party, lisa. what is the real reason why obama isn't on the trail for them? >> because he doesn't want to support a loser. joe biden is a loser, failing administration and democrats are about to suffer a red wave heading into the mid-term elections. obama doesn't want to be part of that. we've all read that obama tried pushing joe biden out. he didn't want him to run. he said that don't underestimate joe biden's ability to f things up which we've all seen over the past couple of years. his ability to just do that. regarding mandela barnes. he is a radical that supports abortion until the moment of birth. wants to defund police but sticks taxpayers with over $608,000 of his own private security. security for me, murder for thee

this guy is part of an administration whose parole board let out 270 murderers. 44 child rapists which he thinks is sexy. he said releasing prisoners is sexy. he is a career politician and radical at that. i have interviewed senator ron johnson multiple times. the guy is a lion. everyone needs to support ron johnson. he is a great guy. >> no one wants to see barack obama out there more than i would. he is fantastic. this race is not about barack obama. it is about ron johnson, who has been fueling and fanning the flames of the insurrection still doubling down on supporting baseless electors on january 6th. 140 capitol police officers were injured and several died pretending to be on the side of crime and trying to resolve that issue when actually his actions more than any other perpetuate the problem in our own capitol.

he represents an extreme part of our politics. not every republican but many republicans and maga republicans who are sticking with him who would rather have someone who lies about the election. follows qanon rabbit holes and does not respect the american public or wisconsinites. if he did he would run on his record and talk about the actual issues and not invent fabrications about mandela barnes and make him a boogeyman for wisconsin voters. >> january 6th loser tab. they have a record of failure and they completely ignored the summer of riots as dozens of murders in the streets. pro-life centers burnt to the ground and silent on that. kamala harris says she is proud of jacob blake, a criminal. spare me on your january 6th garbage. the people are sick of it and we have real issues at hand.

>> republican opponent dr. mehmet oz has been making inroads in this race and he has been hammering fetterman over his soft on crime record and unwillingness to debate. fetterman could only commit to one debate scheduled for october 25th. big questions swirling over fetterman's health after he suffered a stroke in may. this week he needed closed captioning for an interview to help him process the questions and his team refusing to release more medical records. here is dr. oz this morning. >> voters deserve to know everything they need to know about the two candidates that they are going to choose from so they can make an educated decision. share your medical records so we know what's going on and come out and debate me more than once at the end of the campaign so voters can make a choice about your ability to serve. >> we need to see candidates debate. that's how voters make their decisions if they're undecided. they listen to them argue points that are important to them. so what is going on in

pennsylvania and why the confusion, i guess? >> you will see them debate october 25th. it is going to happen. john fetterman is out there. several rallies and events every week on stage talking directly to forties and crowds numbering more than a thousand. hour-long interview and showing he is fit to do the job. by the way, he is fit to do the job in the same way pennsylvaniaians would expect leaders to do the job. they go to work even when it's hard and recovering from something and challenged. there are challenges recovering from a stroke obviously. he is coming through strong and showing up and doing it. frankly, i'll say he got back on the campaign trail and into the public arena faster than dr. oz got back from europe and his vacation. he is not even if pennsylvania. like his media creation enterprise to sell quack medical products he is pretending to be a politician from pennsylvania where he never lived to further

his power and interests. that's not who he is. >> i'll move to nancy pelosi. house speaker ready to put up her dukes. new footage from january 6th, lisa's favorite topic of last year showing a candid moment nancy pelosi threatened to physically strike then president trump if he had joined those protesting at the capitol. he didn't. here is the speaker anyway. >> i've been waiting for this. the trespassing on the capitol grounds. he will go to jail and i would be happy. >> i don't even have a question, i will let you react. >> i just want to say quick john fetterman can't finish conversations and the interview and they lied about his health before the primary. the democrat primary so he is a liar and lives off his parents. >> we are talking pelosi.

>> why did she have a documentary crew with her? >> her daughter was filming. >> why was she there and filming and why did she deny assistance? why is ray epps the only insurrectionist they love? why can't the f.b.i. find whoever laid the pipe bomb before january 6th? they can find a grandmother who spent two seconds in the capitol. why are democrats so hung up on one day after supporting a summer of murder and riots, the firebombing of pregnancies centers. americans need a lot of answers. why are they focused on this when we have sky high inflation. democrats not interested in answering them. >> nancy pelosi showed more grace and courage and composure in that moment than any of us would. the exact moment she was saying those things out of pure frustration. >> i don't think physical

violence on the president. >> let me finish, please. she is expressing real frustration. at the same time that hosts on this network were texting mark meadows saying the president has to get these folks out of the capitol. it is dangerous. you have to shut this down. it was happening then. it was a real moment. dangerous, 140 capitol officers injured and several killed. >> not on that day. do not lie. do not misrepresents. that did not happen. police did not die that day. a trump supporter died. >> nobody said that. threatening to punch the president of the united states in the face that's violence right there and i don't necessarily think that's really sending a positive message if you try to get down the violence. >> she is saying in a private conversation while he was doing nothing. >> when you are the speaker of the house and you have a camera in front of you is not a private

conversation. >> why did she deny security requests? >> she didn't. >> we have to go. lively debate. appreciate you both coming on. two connecticut police officers gunned down in the line of duty possibly lured to the scene. the war on cops is raging at least 12 officers shot in just the last four days. plus critics blame l.a.'s rampant crime on the policies of woke d.a. george gascon. now the recall effort against him may be getting new life after two failed attempts. former lapd detective mark fuhrman in "focus" next.

>> tragedy in bristol, connecticut. two police officers shot and killed wednesday. officials say they may have been lured into an ambush by a fake 911 call. a third officer was severely injured in the attack as violence against the badge is skyrocketing across the country. new data shows at least 12 officers have been shot in the line of duty since just monday. nate foye live with more on this tragic story. >> of the 12 police officers shot just since monday, four of them have been killed and that includes two from connecticut that you just saw.

but it is not just this past week. we're an pace for the most officer sthootings and killings ever on record this year according to the fraternal order of police. last year 346 officers were shot. 64 of them killed. this year you see already 56 officers have been killed. 271 shot. we have 2 1/2 months left in the year. >> we need people to step up right now and speak out against those with a radical changes and these failed experiments making our communities less safe. >> police commissioners across the country is a big problem is prosecutors letting criminals walk through. there were three swat officers shot in chicago wednesday trying to arrest a man linked to murder and armed robbery. larry krasner has been criticized for soft on crime policies. alvin bragg in manhattan and

george gascon. police need support from the public and all levels of the criminal justice system to do their jobs and stay safe. for the alleged ambush in connecticut. the third officer shot is out of the hospital with serious injuries. fellow two officers weren't as fortunate. >> they responded without hesitation and were called to duty. that's what they did every night before that. >> danger is having implications. police retirements across the country are up 45% from last year while resignations are up 20%. send it back to you. >> so sad. nate foye, thank you. disturbing surveillance video out of los angeles. police say it shows a man abducting a 14-year-old girl before forcing her into a bathroom and raping her. out of control crime plaguing the city. you can see the stats here.

the two candidates for mayor addressing the issue in their debate on tuesday. >> the decisions that were made about defunding the police, disrespecting the police and not making sure that the police had the support to do their job well were paying the price for that. >> we also have to hire but right now lapd can't even fill a class. the capacity in a class is 40 officers. they can't recruit beyond 20. >> efforts to recall progressive district attorney george gascon have been revived. suing over signatures deemed invalid. critics blame gascon's woke policy's for la's crime crisis and hope to vote to boot him come november. mark fuhrman defective and host of the fuhrman diaries on fox nation joins me now. great to see you. first of all the fact that police departments across the country can't actually get

people to want to join the police department is a sad story of why we're in this mess because there are democrats in this country that have essentially held these cops' hands behind their backs and prevented them from doing their jobs. no incentive to go into law enforcement these days. >> you wonder who wants to be a police officer when your very leadership, the immediate leadership on your department, lieutenants, captains, deputy chiefs are looking at you not for doing a good job, but what you did wrong. the officer doesn't stand a chance. we've gone from pro-active police work, go out and get the bad guys before they commit a crime like this rape, to reactive police work, show up and take a report. and this is the state of affairs here and any officer that is going to be proactive or aggressive is a problem. and then you have people like gascon that even when you get

the suspect to that level, then he releases them on bail or doesn't even prosecute them. so why would an officer -- why would somebody become an officer to have absolutely nothing to their career to show for it? >> progressive d.a.'s like george gascon are the reason why cops are under attack in this country. he has blood on his hands. two cops would be alive today had he not released the murderers who were supposed to be in jail for at least another three years back on the streets to reoffend and this is the problem because it is a recure answer rates of shooting that's the incentivizing future crimes like the ones in bristol, connecticut that nate foye reported on. the two guys were lured to the scene of a crime, a fake 911 call. they had targets on their backs before they got there because there was no deterrents whatsoever to keep these criminals from striking out.

>> well, you know, you look at what gascon has done. he was actually on lapd. but i can tell you that he was on lapd at the same time i was. i heard his name a few times and the description was don't trust him. he won't have your back. so gascon is a chameleon that goes and says and does anything that will gain him power and position. this is no surprise. it's no surprise to anybody that knew him on the job. he was brat en's right-hand man on the big crime reduction and now look at him. when you think about officers, everybody looks as officers making me do something i don't want to. but they put their life on the line every day and they never know when that threat is going to come. i will tell you, the officers right now don't trust their own department to stand behind them because if they take action,

they are scrutinized first, not the suspect. this is a problem that you are going to have in all the major cities in this country and you will not take back the streets. you don't have the personnel and you certainly don't have the leadership. nobody believes that somebody will stand behind them if they actually go toe-to-toe with the suspects to kill or hurt them. they first look at what does it look like, which side should i be on? like gascon, i'll be on the side where i'm okay and i gain power. >> i want to talk about a new episode of the fuhrman diaries. it focuses on a suburban father of three who happened to be a serial killer with as many as 100 victims. let's take a look. >> every day from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 he worked at his office in mid town manhattan on third where've nuchlt he was a picture

of boring normalcy on the surface. in between work and family life, he was a frequent patron of time square sex care and bars. >> how did he get away with it for so long? >> he is really surprising because when you first look on first blush you look at the first five he was -- he decapitates two victims and sets them on fire and leaves them in a hotel room. he got the nickname the torso killer. you think the story is over. but the story isn't over. he waits 30 years and then he talks to a female reporter after a long, long relationship over the phone and in letters and then he says well, you know, there are a lot of other ones, as many as 80 to 100.

and so slowly, he actually offers up evidence where a detective working for the state, they actually connect him up totally to 11 homicides. but is there another 50, 60, 70 homicides? that's the part that you have to kind of really scrutinize his entire life. >> this is the kind of crime you guys cover in those horrific stories. we definitely want people to tune in the fuhrman diaries available on fox nation. this is interesting stuff. you have to tune in and watch it. what is your takeaway from real quick before i let you go on these types of cases and how they could have been prevented? that's what you think back at when you look at police work from years past. >> well, you look at what we have now. all the scientific information. back then it was really just

work. it was on the phone, going out, talking to people. and when you see what we didn't do then, it's funny that we repeat it now with all the scientific tools we have. we still have these guys slip through the cracks. >> thank you and thank you for watching "the faulkner focus."
