>> just a little over three weeks to go until the midterm elections and candidates are going head to head in many contentious races across the country, including the senate showdown in georgia between rafael warnock and hershel walker. the two faced off in a fiery debate as senator wahas a lead over his challenger.
9:01 am
jacqui: president biden touts the massive spending plan in oregon this weekend. we learned that president obama will be giving democrats much-needed star power at high profile events in atlanta, detroit, milwaukee in the coming weeks. we've got coverage with dan springer in portland, but we'll start with the heated georgia senate battle. >> heated indeed. reverend warnock faced hershel walker running for senate as a republican. the two met in a debate in savannah last night and there were fireworks sparring on a range of issues, including abortion, take a listen. >> that a patient's room is too narrow and small and cramped a space for woman, her doctor, and the united states government. >> i just a neat talker, but did he not mention that there's a baby in that room as well? >> on the topic of election integrity, hershel walker
9:02 am
acknowledged that president biden legitimately won the 2020 election. senator warnock dodged the question on whether he'd support the president if he seeks reelection in 2024. >> i've not spent a minute thinking about what politician should run for what in 2024. >> you haven't thought about it. if you can think about it now in 2024, the president will turn 82 years old. are you concerned about his physical and his mental fitness at that time? you have 30 seconds. >> the people of georgia hired hee to represent them regardless of who is in the white house. >> now, similarly, hershel walker was asked whether he would support former president trump if he were to run for president again in 2024 and hershel walker said he would indeed because he considers mr. trump a friend, jacqui. jacqui: some of these debates are not too interesting, but that one certainly was. >> this one certainly was.
9:03 am
rich: president biden heads to oregon to tout his spending plan in a deep blue state where the race for the governor's mansion looks surprisingly tight. dan. >> hi, riff, in -- hi, rich, president biden will be here talking about average americans and what he's coming here for what would be an embarrassing and historic loss in the oregon governor's race. it's been, get this, 40 years since a republican has won here and right now the race is a tossup with polls showing republican christine drazen with a slight lead within the margin of error. eighths three woman race with all of them former members of the state legislature, including long time democrat and now independent betsey johnson. polls suggest johnson is pulling more support from democrat than drazen. one poll shows 60% of
9:04 am
democrats, and the goal with the visit for biden who won the state by 16 points and dominated here in multnomah county by 66 points is to bring a lot more democrats home for kotek. >> we know that president biden has the ability to motivate and r turn out democrats. in a place like oregon, a key part of the coalition, that's going to be hugely important. but it's a different landscape for biden. in oregon his job approval rate is just 43%. this homeless encampment, one of hundreds in the city is a few blocks away from where biden is speaking and a poll shows 94% of portland area residents say homelessness is a very big problem. kotek is catching a lot of the blame as a democrat leader in a democrat-run state. >> she's looking around to see who is going to save her from
9:05 am
this, but i think the reality is oregonians are looking for change and doesn't matter who she brings into town, the quality of life here requires change. >> president biden is also here to collect a lot of cash for kotek after the speech here with the reception in which he will charge people $10,000 for a picture taken with him, rich. rich: not bad. dan springer in portland, oregon, thank you very much. jacqui. jacqui: rich, for more on what issues are important to voters with midterms three weeks away, we're joined by congresswoman from iowa and budget committees, ashley hinson. thank you for joining us, appreciate your time. thanks, jacqui for having me. jacqui: of course, i want to pop up on the screen just some inflation data here and we can dive into the numbers. inflation in september hit 8.2% compared to last year and some of those categories are really, really bad. eggs up mo are than 30%.
9:06 am
milk more than 15%, fruits and vegetables 10%. coffee more than 15% and then the more alarming data i think from the report if you strip out the volatile food and energy costs, core cpi hit a 40-year high 6.6%. the president argued that his policies are working that money from the infrastructure law got supply chains working and that some of the other bills they've passed won't take effect until next year so people really have to wait to see the prices come down. taking off your partisan hat for just a moment, is there any truth to that? >> absolutely not, jacqui. what i'm hearing from iowans as i'm out on the trail is that this inflation is truly a pelosi pay cut for iowans and americans. we cannot afford another two years like the last two. we've warned the excessive spending binge in washington d.c. would trigger inflation, did they listen? absolutely not. their solution was to tax more and spend more and look, you can call anything, any bill you want, but the so-called
9:07 am
inflation reduction acts hires 87,000 new irs agents. the only way to pay for the spending that the democrats are putting forth is to tax you more and to come after hard-working americans. so, this biden-pelosi agenda is simply wrong that's why i believe this election will be about accountability. this election is about putting a check on the biden administration and it's high time that we take their checkbook away and that's what i'm hearing about from iowans. jacqui: you faced some criticism from your opponent in your race for opposing, for instance, the bipartisan infrastructure law, but welcoming $829 million in funding to benefit your district locally. is it at all hypocritical to welcome that kind of money coming back to your district after voting against it and generally opposing spending? >> well, i think what it comes down to is would iowans want me to let the money go elsewhere, to new york or california?
9:08 am
when i looked at that spending, it was triggering rampant inflation already at that point in the year and the democrats directly tied that infrastructure bill to at the time trillions of dollars in social spending so i said, hey, i don't think this is the right time to spend this amount of money, but it passed anyway. so my job as iowa's voice and iowa's rent is to get as many of those dollars back to iowa as possible and that's what i did. the need is there to enhance our lock and dam system on the mississippi river, so, it was a great opportunity for me to work with partners across the river and across the aisle to make sure the funds were coming back to benefit my district, but when you look at the amount of spending that's been happening over the last 22 months, boy, it has put our country on the wrong track, so inflation is out of control, the energy policies, what i'm hearing from farmers who are not only the ultimate environmentalists, but they're the ultimate consumers of energy, they're using diesel and fertilizer to help fuel and feed the word. their input costs are up 300%
9:09 am
and this administration continues to doubledown and spend more, that's the d.c. way. d.c. needs to operate a lot more like iowa and what i'm trying to bring forth is common sense targeted in the country. jacqui: if the democrats take back congress that inflation is going to get worse. i want to play this. >> they want to repeal the inflation reduction act, repeal the $2,000 cap on prescription drugs, gone. cap on insulin, gone at $35. saving on health care premiums average of $400 a person, gone. savings on utility bills, gone. jacqui: now, i covered the white house during the week, i hadn't heard the president say that yet. do republicans want to repeal the inflation reduction act? is it even possible? you know as well as i do that it was pretty tough to undo obamacare, for instance, is that even a practical solution?
9:10 am
>> well, we're looking for real solutions not government price fixing schemes, to what what the president just said sounds a lot like socialism. what they've done with spending spree is continuing to expand the size and scope of government. iowans tell they want to be respected by their government and embrace their freedom and they want a government that respects that. so what we want to do, again, this is about accountability in the next congress. why we need to fire nancy pelosi and hold this president accountable is because iowans are tired of seeing their paychecks disrespected by congress and by the folks in washington d.c. jacqui: you do or don't want to repeal the inflation reduction act. i didn't hear an answer. and i wanted a straight answer from you. do republicans, do you want to repeal the inflation reduction act. >> i hope we can do undo as much as possible especially the 87,000 new irs agents. jacqui: understood. congresswoman ashley hinson, thank you for your time on a saturday. appreciate your discussion and hope to have you back soon.
9:11 am
>> thanks, jacqui. rich: let's go to the other side of the aisle. we're joined by democratic congresswoman from michigan and member of the house energy and commerce committee debbie dingell and serves on the house natural services commission. i want to begin with inflation here, take a look at what it has-- how much it's increased over the last several months here. it remains persistent, elevated compared to last year and a recent report the earlier part of this week detailing this. democrats are facing this, they're facing just the natural history of controlling the house, the senate and the white house in a midterm year. republicans are also focusing on border and crime, inflation. what is the democratic message here for why you guys should maintain control of all of these levers of government? >> well, rich, it's good to see you this afternoon and i want to be very clear on a number of things. first of all, democrats are putting people over politics and i don't talk-- i don't give you talking points as you know, i'm a very blunt
9:12 am
and candid person. i think inflation is real, i think it's one of the issues that's going to decide how people vote in november and i'm home just like everybody else is and people are worried about what's happening in the grocery stores and what's happening at the gasoline station, but i will tell you that inflation has gone down the last few months, 2% increase, and much of what we are watching actually started in years earlier when, yes, we cut taxes on billionaires and corporations, not on working men and women, and what the president has been trying to do to offset these costs that were very critical because people were scared, they didn't -- were worried about what was going to happen. we got shots in people's arms, people back to work and got people back in schools. and i will vote for that again and again and again and i'm going to vote to fix our roads and bridges and when you talk about inflation reduction act i'm going to tell you point
9:13 am
blank. i don't call it socialism we're the only industrialized nation in the world just for the record that doesn't pay for, guarantee that every citizen has access to insurance, but if you talk to the auto companies, if you talk to corporations, their biggest cost is health care. there's more health care when i worked at general motors which for the record for everybody, i worked at gm for 30 years. the biggest cost wasn't steel in the car, it was health care. the drug companies have been escalating prices that don't justify what the cost of producing it is and we did cap insulin at $35 a month because people are desperate and republicans voted against it, stripped it out when we would have done the same thing for private insurance. republicans voted against putting a cap on how much people have to pay on their medicine for $2,000 a year if you're a social security recipient and voted against medicare being able to do, go in and negotiate cost prices on some of the most expensive medicines there are. these are real problems and i
9:14 am
hear about those problems every single day and i bet i'm in more homes and farmers markets and events than most members of congress because i want to know what's than ormention. rich: following up on inflation, tax cuts during the trump administration and stimulus plans and a lot of money went to the system to deal with covid and the democrats, a trillion dollars. was that a bridge too far, too much money in the system and led to inflation that we're seeing today. >> so, you know, this is complicated. if it was complicated we wouldn't all be talking. you also have to remember unemployment is the lowest level in decades. people are back to work and by the way, we've had administrations, republican and democrats for decades since eisenhower that needed to fix the roads and bridges and finally fixing roads and bridges and getting people back to work and shipped jobs overseas. under many republican administrations finally bringing the supply chain back
9:15 am
home, which is both an economic issue and national security issue and the pandemic showed us what happens. rich: was there too much money put in the system in the beginning of this administration? >> i don't believe that it was because i believe it was critical and necessary for the security of a lot of people from a health perspective, economic security perspective and a national security perspective and now we all got to work together to bring this crisis down and a lot of other factors, including putin out a month from the election cutting a deal with saudi arabia about gas prices, that's a political issue. rich: congresswoman, i want to turn quickly to crime here, you've had republicans saying that the crime that we've seen increases in crime over the last few years both in cities and throughout the country has increased, they're pointing to getting the support from a number of police unions out there that have previously supported democrats. do you think that democrats are unified on how to deal with crime? do you think that it can be a winning issue at some point for
9:16 am
some democrats or should they avoid talking about it? >> i'm not going to avoid talking about an issue that's on the mind of everybody across this country and i'm sick and tired of talking points. our law enforcement is critical and i don't care if you live in an urban city or you live in a small town, you want to be safe. and there are a lot of these smaller towns, i have 44 communities in my new district, that small law enforcement. they can't recruit new people. why would they the way that we are treating people. we need to talk about it. there are-- it's not an either/or, i'm sick and tired of people trying to make us make false choices on crime. it support our law enforcement very strongly, they keep me safe and keep a lot of other people safe. they put their lives on the line every day. but there are examples of where there's been gross negligence and we can do both and need to address both. rich: congresswoman debbie dingell, thank you for joining us this afternoon. >> thank you. rich: tomorrow, shannon bream will have exclusive interviews with white house council of
9:17 am
economic advisors counsel jared bernstein and steve scalise. and on media buzz, kelly ann conway joins howard kurtz, that's tomorrow 11 a.m. eastern and only on the fox news channel, jacqui. jacqui: new developments in the trial of russian igor den denchenko, and david spunt is with us with the latest. >> jacqui, on paper, this case is simply about lying to the fbi. i shouldn't say simply about lying to the fbi, that's a federal charge and crime and that's what this is about on paper. in the courtroom over the past week, things became more clear in the lens and you could see that the government, led by special counsel john durham was focused more on the fbi itself
9:18 am
and uncovering problems within the bureau in 2016, and shortly thereafter the election. igor danchenko is from northern virginia. the judge in the case dismissed one case against him. right now charged with do you remember counts of lying to the fbi. the team announced they would not put on a case meaning it goes to a jury on monday. the special counsel charged him originally with five counts. the government said he lied to a fbi agent when he said he hadn't, quote, talked to a democratic political operative named charles dolan about the steele dossier, the allegations aimed at taking down donald trump in 2016. dolan gave danchenko information, and the two e-mailed, didn't speak, that was enough for the judge it dismiss the count. a fbi agent koim came to his
9:19 am
aid telling jurors that he was a highly trusted source and losing him as an informant harms u.s. national security and that he had helped the fbi on 25 investigations. bottom line, this can be complicated, a lot of names and different meetings here, this case goes to a jury on monday, we likely may have a verdict on monday, even if special council john durham does not win he began his investigation three and a half years ago and is preparing a public narrative to weave his story out for the public to see. that could come at some point over the next few months, jacqui. jacqui: we will be watching for it. david spunt for us at the justice department. rich: jacqui, at least 11 police officers were shot around the country in the past week alone including the deadly shootings of two police officers and wounding of a third in connecticut. more on that coming up. life... doesn't stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it's the number one doctor recommended brand that

>> america's crime crisis plaguing big cities across the nation. we've got fox team coverage with jeff paul in los angeles. let's start with alexis mcadams on the more on anti-cop sentiment in america. alexis. >> hi, jacqui. yeah, with more violence against police officers and also that anti-cop talk that we
9:24 am
hear from a lot of politicians and people across media outlets, we're seeing a spike in retirements, too, in departments across the state and resignation is up 20% affording to fop. this comes as the community in bristol, connecticut you can see here is grieving the loss of two police officers. they had a big vigil over the weekend. t they were killed respond to go a domestic disturbance. and investigators say that call was made to lure the officers to the house and they opened up with an ar-15. and off duty police officer torres was killed on the way into work on thursday, he was one of five people killed in that mass shooting. investigators tell us the 15 #-year-old boy opened fire near a nature trail. the president of north carolina's fraternal order of police says that morale is
9:25 am
sinking. >> we're mad, and you know, you've got to look back at the criminal justice system and not in this particular case because the offender was a 15-year-old suspect and we don't know yet what his record's going to look like, but if you look at the vast majority of these assaults on our nation's officers, not only the ones killed, but the ones that have been shot and injured. look at who is doing it. these for the most part are career type criminals. >> so far this year, 56 officers have been shot and killed. that's on pace to be the most ever on record, which is not something anyone across the country wants to see broken. crime is a top priority for voters across the country, jacqui, as we near midterms and one of the driving forces that many people say is pushing them to the polls. we'll keep a close eye as you are on everything that's happening and the political side, and somebody is talking about all of this violence against the police.
9:26 am
rich: shocking video surfacing after disabled man stabbed in the neck at a los angeles taco bell and a woman attacked with scissors in north hollywood after a failed attempt to recall district attorney for his soft on crime policies. >> crime especially here in los angeles, the numbers don't lie. crime is up this year exceeding high numbers we experienced last year. homicides in l.a. surpassed a 2021 totals just six months into 2022, and according to the latest figures available, violent crime is also getting worse. this is just one example of that. security camera footage capturing a man walking into an l.a. county taco bell and randomly stabbing an 82-year-old man in a wheelchair. the victim was stabbed in the neck and the shoulder and is going to survive. the attacker though is still on the loose. in south los angeles, a carjacking victim was killed after being dragged by his own
9:27 am
vehicle for two miles. police were chasing a murder suspect when that man crashed his car and started carjacking near vehicle when the suspect took off, the owner of the vehicle somehow remained attached to his own car. >> he was obviously deceased at the time, so, it's not like he was suffering. he was already gone. i mean, obviously dead. so i'm like, whoa, we have a deep situation here. >> meanwhile, in north hollywood watch the woman to the left of the screen, quickly approached by a man in a backpack while the cement truck obscures the moment it happens. police say that woman was randomly stabbed in the head with a tear of scissors. investigators say the suspect also attacked another woman with a full jar of pickles and later arrested. rich, back to you. rich: jeff live in los angeles, thank you. jacqui. jacqui: well, griff jenkins joins us for a firsthand look at smugglers and their

9:32 am
>> as the migrant surge continues at the border. the biden administration is working with mexico to fly up to 24,000 venezuelans into the u.s. and send others crossing illegally to northern mexico. and griff jenkins is on the ground in mexico. >> listen, not all is taking the u.s. up on the offer. here is a venezuelan passport we found moments ago, you can see the trash and debris left behind from the migrants before they cross, this has been a very active spot all day. on the other side, that is the u.s. we were here a few hours ago, our cameras exclusively
9:33 am
capturing this video we can show you. a group of about a dozen nick ago nicaraguans. paying no attention to us. he's been doing this for years and it's busy now and charges about 500 to $1500 to across people and then 9 to $10,000 if they want to go to san antonio or houston after they cross. now, that's a stark contrast to what the dhs secretary mayorkas said. it's music to the smuggler's ears because they take it and market it. it's 150 to 200 in this group and the reason why they
9:34 am
continue crossing is because they know that the border is open, not closed, or secure like the secretary said. finally, let me show you one last piece if we can, the footage we have been getting from our drone of the expulsion of the venezuelans of the title 42 rule, the van turns them over to the immigration officials on the mexican side and the mexican side will take those folks and go over. finally, as you can see, this is a rural area and we have a cow now and a bull as well coming down the hill that's also used for smuggling people. but it's really quite something when you talk about the migrants that are coming here because i want to show you, i also have passports from cuba as well as colombia. venezuela, cuba, colombia and those are groups that otherwise used to be able to cross and be released and colombians and
9:35 am
cubans, and it's a limit of today that we title 42'd in this spot. rich: griff, don't forget about the snakes, too, we were talking about that beforehand. >> this is mexico you're out in the wild and we've got migrants, smugglers and cows and a snake and we'll try to stay out of their way, but this is what it looks like every single day. the smuggling business is only growing, rich. back to you. rich: stay safe, griff. griffin jenkins in mexico, stay safe. thank you. jacqui: former nfl star and republican candidate hershel walker is taking on incumbent senator rafael warnock for his georgia seat. the two small business owners joining us now are going to give us their takes on these two candidates. we've got a global real estate advisor and realtor for atlanta
9:36 am
fine homes. she's a hershel walker supporter, and maya, an entrepreneur and affordable housing advocate, she supports rafael warnock. thank you both for joining us on a saturday, really appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me. >> you're welcome, thank you. jacqui: i want to start with you, you're a hershel walker supporter and he had a pretty solid performance in the debate. i am anot -- i'm not sure if you watched it, but rafael warnock was expect today take that away and it was unexpe unexp unexpectedly showing from hershel walker. and you're more interested in his platform as relates to your business, tell me why. >> the reason why i'm interested in relates to business and policies and not his personal dealings is because we have six more years left for whoever is going to
9:37 am
take the senate seat in georgia and honestly, georgians can't afford another six years under rafael warnock. we look how the government is rampantly spending our money. over 2 1/2 trillion dollars spent just in the two years he's been in office and unfortunately, i'm not interested in personal dealings, it's all about policy for me. >> maya, what's your response to that, allegation that the spending under the biden administration that your candidate rafael warnock has supported has put the country into a place where now we're dealing with such high inflation and making it tough for business people like yourself? >> i think that's contrary to popular belief if you really understand the way that policies work. there's no way that he's responsible for this or joe biden's responsible for this in the short amount of time. we are coming out of a global pandemic. we're at war at every turn, and
9:38 am
i am concerned about hershel walker's personal life, the way he lives his life. a man that abuses women, his own children, i can't trust him to make any decisions for me as a business woman. 48% of businesses in america are owned by women. so a person that abuses women, a path logical liar, yes, i'm very concerned about the way that he lives his personal life, how you do anything is how you do everything. jacqui: just to flol up to that m maja, warnock tried not to alienate republicans he's been courting. he didn't hit back a couple of times. did you wish a stronger performance. >> and i think the bar was set so low for hershel walker, of what? it was so low. i felt that warnock stayed with the topic and touched on things that are important to women, especially the women of georgia, abortion is a huge issue, a woman's right to
9:39 am
choose is a huge issue, the movie industry is supported and thriving in georgia, but movies can't be made if people will not show up to work because they feel like their rights have been taken away from them and hershel walker and all he's done in the past four to six weeks, the scandals that have come out. it's like they picked a candidate, but nobody vetted him, and i felt like warnock didn't want to take the low road, as hershel did time and time again and didn't address the issues in georgia. jacqui: i want you to respond to that, but i also want to ask, hershel walker did sort of backtrack on his position on abortion for many months saying that he does not support any kind of exceptions and then last night, he sort of backtracked that saying that he would now support some exceptions that the georgia legislature included in its six week ban. does that give you any concern that if he were to be elected
9:40 am
that he wouldn't stick to his policy positions? >> no, that doesn't really give me concern. it actually shows growth and evolvement. if you think about it from this point. if you're a politician that only thinks that your view is right, and you don't listen to the constituents that you are going to serve, then you're not doing a service for georgians. if you're listening to those women or listening to also the people that you're speaking to that are saying, okay, we do need to carve out exceptions for certain instances, and you now are changing how you approach and protect and actually serve the people of georgia, i think that's absolutely fair. as a christian, i have my personal beliefs on abortion, however, if you are going to represent the constituents of your state, your personal beliefs are secondary. you also have to take into consideration what your constituents need from you. jacqui: one more follow-up to that, hershel walker said
9:41 am
during this debate that he believes that president biden won the election, something that he did not admit right after the election. what did you make of that and what do you make of sort of the discussion around election legitimacy and people's confidence in votes if this candidate is now taking two approaches, basically? >> i mean, for me-- i feel like voter suppression-- >> go ahead. >> i'm sorry, voter suppression, we're concerned about that in georgia. we've seen this in previous elections, but at this time this is a midterm, people need to come out to vote, but the issue that we have here is he's backtracking and he's going to say whatever he needs to say at this point because this is a very close race and extremely close race. i'm embarrassed that we're even here at this point, but we're here now and he's going to say whatever he needs to say to have people agree with him and
9:42 am
swing those votes, that's where we are. jacqui: avion, the last word. we've got a hard wrap. your two cents. >> no problem. with regard to election integrity in georgia. we saw widespread cheating in georgia. i'm not going to ignore it and a lot of people saw it. we had video evidence elections taking ballots from underneath a suitcase and putting that into the voter tallies, so there are lots of different cases that were brought forth and after hearing the evidence, it was not determined that election fraud occurred on a wide enough stance in which it would have overturned the election so therefore hershel walker has unequivocally said that biden has won the election and so has warnock and he will respect the results of the 2022 election as well. jacqui: we have to leave it there. we're totally out of time. thank you both so much and see you soon. >> thank you. rich: jacqui, chilly weather
