it is never in fact an emotion. and they are trying to appeal to the emotions of americans when talking about abortions. they are happy to continue to lie, of course, about the supreme court decision and suggest that somehow it means that abortion is outlawed in america. it sends it back to the states not puts it in the hands. >> carley: lara, got to leave it there.

>> brian: too common. billville. >> rachel: loved here as well. >> brian: some people like heim here. >> rachel: people say if you have a problem with bill hemmer then you are the problem. >> brian: think about all the women he has anchored with. martha, shannon, megyn kelly, dana perino, sandra smith. that's a lot of women. and they all like him. >> rachel: everyone thinks he is the greatest guy. >> brian: i'm sure he is going to open up talking about us. >> steve: we should point out ainsley is off again today and in her place as stuart varney would say -- rachel campos-duffy. >> rachel: little senior moment delay and we got it. i'm here and so honored opened n

hour auto ago. for the folks. >> that's exactly right. good morning, family. happy birthday to you, brother. there is going to be a great day in florida. as you guys know. in the media, this may be a big race when it comes down to the florida governor ron desantis who many people call america's governor against charlie crist. but there is also the big senate race. you all saw that debate earlier in the show. some of the highlights of that vs. val demings vs. marco rubio. when you talk to the folks here. the things that matter to them is the economy, crime, and they support the government or they support their senator. i'm going to be talking with them all morning about the issues that matter to them. i have already saw some ron desantis shirts.

marco rubio shirts. so it looks like this is a republican strong hold right here. and it's just because of the kitchen table issues that we're going to be talking with them all morning here in okeechobee. i will send it back to you guys in new york. >> steve: no better place than to talk about kitchen table issues than over a kitchen table. all right, lawrence. we will see you a little later on. >> rachel: thanks, lawrence. >> lawrence: see you all, family. >> steve: let's talk a little bit about this. i got an email from a woman who lives down in saint pete in florida a couple of weeks ago. listen, i know you guys are talking about groceries and stuff like that. but it has become so expensive to pay for air conditioning down in florida because of the price of electricity. and when you look at the price of diesel these days and fuel oil in the winter gone up 70% in some instances. later today the president of the united states is going to have a speech and say you know what? because we are in emergency, midterms are less than three weeks away, i'm going to release

another 15 million barrels of oil. back in march he announced 200 million barrels of many oil. when you think about it, 15 million barrels is just literally a drop in the bucket because america uses 20 million barrels a day. so it's not even one day's worth. big deal. >> rachel: didn't work beg egg the saudis for oil or at least begging them to not do the reduction until after the midterms. and you are right. it is an emergency. bloomberg, $200 diesel puts biden in an ugly corner. it says currently the u.s. has 106 million barrels of oil and heating oil in stock. the last time inventories were that low in mid it october was 195 # when truman. inventory should be 30% higher this time of year. such low levels are alarming because diesel is the work horse of the global economy. it powers trucks and vans,

excavators, freight trains and ships. shortage would higher costs from everything to trucking to farming to construction. brian, i'm confused. i thought they didn't like oil and gas and so why are they going into this? >> brian: well, you are only partially confused because we are need fossil fuels. everybody knows we need fossil fuels. he is splitting the baby. what he is doing, he is doing is i'm going to use fossil fuels but i'm not going to drill here. the environmentalists get to get off on that and makes it almost impossible to drill and get the permitting done in exat the tissues way. offshore drilling. new permits not handed out. not maximizing the flow through the current pipelines. certainly not doing enough in alaska where i think governor palin was saying that they are doing about a third of what they could be doing in terms of what they could be producing up there. i will add something else to this. the president of the united

states, this is flat out election modify. there is not an emergency. yeah, there is a war going on and we have adjusted to it over the last nine months. it's not a putin price hike. we have plenty of ways to get oil and gas. this is not a tsunami, it's not katrina, it is not a global war. this is totally irresponsible to do this. i will add one more thing on top of what he is saying. it's almost useless to talk to the press secretary. not talking about the quality of her delivery. i'm talking about the quality of her information. a week ago when she was asked directly are we going to be tapping more of the strategic oil reserve and she said there are no plans to do that. so many times she gets reversed later in the day. not only is she not getting into the meetings. she is not getting briefed and it doesn't seem like she is making an effort to get information. i understand sometimes you don't want to tell the press everything. understood. you also have a message you want to tell the press. to not be in the loop makes it seem like a waste of time. >> steve: yeah, but maybe things have changed in the last week because the polls have tightened

and real clear politics is now suggesting that the republican also take the senate. and so, you know, there is an alarm bell going off on the resolute desk there in the white house going hey, danger danger. >> brian: tell her. >> steve: that's why she announced there would be this announcement today. yesterday the president went to howard theater in d.c. and he made a very clear promise. if the democrats continue to hold the congress, the very first bill he sends to congress will be one that writes abortion protections into law. and would codify. make legal protections for abortion. okay, so he made that very clear. that would be his number one domestic priority abortion. so, wait a minute, all the polls show that the number one issue of you is inflation, america. so, which one is it? and that was a question that was asked yesterday. watch. >> what is president biden's top

domestic priority now? is it inflation or is it abortion? >> the president is going to continue to talk about issues that matter to the american people. and abortion is one of them, a majority of the american people disagree with the decision that the supreme court made, the dobbs decision. that is a majority of the people disagreed with that when it comes to the economy, the president has made it very, very clear. when it comes to inflation, it is his number one economic priority. and he is doing everything that he can to make sure that we lower prices. >> rachel: he says it's his number one priority, steve. he has done nothing as brian has said to unleash american energy, which we have plenty of, which we know would drop prices almost immediately. and, again, he is talking about the first thing he is going to do. >> steve: first thing. >> rachel: abortion. here is a poll by democrats to show you what democrats care about. 17% economy, jobs, stock market,

17% inflation. 11% the state of democracy, and only 8% abortion. so it turns out that even among democrats they care more about the ability to feed their families than the right to kill their offspring. >> steve: that's one way to put it. >> brian: absolutely. >> steve: here is the thing, ultimately, the number one he is going to do is codify, make legal by law, abortion. there was a bill to codify abortion rights in may in the senate and it died there because they could not get one single republican vote. and what is the president doing? he went to howard theater and that he is trying to do is try to motivate the young people. and with young people, they are motivated by things like student debt and by abortion. unfortunately, historically younger people do not show up for the midterms.

is he trying to rally the troops. because that red warning light on the desk is going hey, we can't lose the house. >> brian: we already brought you a student loan forgiveness which might even be unconstitutional whereby the power vested in the absolute monarch 1600 pennsylvania avenue i can declare your loan forgiven and ask everyone else to pay for it. kekayleigh mcenany, blood bath. >> down three touchdowns two minute warning is hit and just lobbing hail marie maries into d zone. blood red maga speech decrying half the nation. didn't work. thought last-ditch effort is abortion. there is a circular firing squad going on in the are democratic party with bernie sanders and carville all saying hey, guys, our closing argument can't be abortion and obama saying we are a buzz kill and clinton saying

don't forget about immigration. they are sounding like republicans because, oh wait, we are 2 is days from an election. >> rachel: it's a great point. listen, can i make the point also that democrats have tied abortion to inflation and the economy. it was aoc and representative katie porter out of california who said, you know, abortion is an economic issue as inflation goes up, we need more abortion. so, get the message that they are sending you. we are not going to change the underlying causes of inflation, which is this war on american energy and energy independence, which is spending money that we don't have and devaluing our currency, no, the answer for you poor people, you working class people is have less children. here's abortion. it's actually very elitist and very ghoul isish and there is another reason why there is going to be a massive, massive wave. i think the predictions for republicans, their best predictions, i think, will come true. >> brian: i would say the one thing, if it wasn't for the

economy, we might be able to dance on the edges of what is passionate for the people, education, drops i think crime rises, the border rises. and abortion, if the election was in july, that might be something that was white hot at the time. but it is not in july the president to reach back to your point. i watched the pollster on cbs on sunday said the hail mary pass would be finding a way to motivate young people. >> steve: that's why they went to howard. >> brian: you might not want to give a speech where you yell at them the whole time think after glenn youngkin won in virginia and came close in new jersey and inflation was going through the roof and gas prices were going through the roof. it looked like there was going to be a huge red tsunami back in the spring. but then there was, brian, to your point. there was roe v. wade. the dobbs decision. and then the gas prices started

going back down. and then suddenly, it looked like it was much closer. now the gas prices are going back up. and inflation is at an historic point. that's why the president is pulling out whatever he can. whatever rabbit he is pull out of a hat. today the rabbit is 15 million barrels of oil. >> rachel: all comes down to energy because that drives our economy. >> steve: because that drives us. >> brian: speaking about driving. this what drives people to the border? how about this? they get to come to new york for free, air conditioned bus, xbox, free meal. fine bed. three meals a day by the way. choreographed to wherever you ever came from. south measure, central american oriented meals. get your laundry done and folded. these expensive perks given to illegal immigrants as they come to new york city in our new tent city at randal island all at a great cost to us. i'm thrilled. >> new york senator who op-ed george floyd finally speaking

stuff in the news. on accept that for, ben smith to used to work at the "new york times." called inside the identity crisis at the "new york times." they are trying to figure out what does the "new york times" want to be going forward. >> brian: when it grows up. >> steve: they bought wordle the word game we play every morning on the show and they bought the athletic or tech company or news company or what? he writes there are two defining mommy's in the recent history. one was the 1619 project and the other was when the "new york times" op-ed page ran the tom cotton editorial calling for the military to be brought in during the george floyd riots and looting. >> brian: which is what donald trump wanted to do too by the way. would. >> rachel: no, no. you go go ahead. >> brian: tom cotton writes this column and came on the next day. the editor who wrote this column says i quit. go ahead. james bennett decides i'm going

to quit but he was outraged that a.g. soles berger, the owner of the newspaper did not stand up for him and he just says that nobody did. and he said the "new york times" has got to decide whether they are going to be just for progressives or not. one term was great. he goes they're a business wrapped around a church. and the church of the progressives. >> rachel: you said what does the "new york times" want to be? only good for recipes, frankly. >> steve: wordle is good. >> rachel: not into wordle. i love the recipes. that's it. here is what the editor who left or was fired, who he said his feelings were very hurt by all his colleagues who treated him like an incompetent fascist. he says he has a regret. his regret is having written this on his way out. he said after publication. this essay met strong criticism and many readers and many times colleagues, prompting editors

though review the piece and the editing process. -- go ahead. >> steve: that is what they attached a day or so after -- they ran the tom cotton thing saying hey, send in the military for the looting and the riots. then a day or two later. they put that at the beginning the editor's note. james bennett, who was then the op-ed head editor, he approved it. he did not write it. he then, a couple of days later, wound up saying i can't work here anymore. he tells ben smith in semaphor now today is my regret is the editor's note. my mistake there was trying to mull phi people. the "new york times" and its publisher want to have the applause and welcome of the left. and now there is the problem on top of that that they have signed up some new subscribers and the exception of those subscribers is that the "times"

sooner in washington, d.c. for the january 6th riot. it's absolutely unbelievable and by the way if you pull up the op-ed right now, brian, the top of the op-ed has this huge disclaimer by the "new york times" essentially a trigger warning for anyone who might possibly read tom cotton's op-ed. >> right. so tom cotton just wrote me and i asked him his reaction to this he said this i accept his sincerity. he came back to see me about it a few months back. villains are woke woke force and soles berger. tom cotton was on here laughing at the uproar his editorial caused the next day and this is what he says today. >> steve: ultimately mr. bennett saw the benefit of printing cotton's words and thought that people should see it because, you know, the slogan is all the news that is fit to print except now in the new "new york times" maybe the people who are now the new subscribers don't want to

read the other side. >> not just the subscribers it is the woke employees who turned on bennett as well. >> steve: i think you are right. >> comes back who is hiring them? whoever takes over as editor should fire the people that reflects the type of product that people want to read not that the left wants to read. >> >> steve: not exactly fair and balanced over there at the gray lady. >> brian: no. coming up on this show. the midterms are less than three weeks away. >> steve: lawrence jones is talking to florida voters in okeechobee on the top issue, which, lawrence, i would imagine is prices and maybe the price of breakfast. >> lawrence: that's exactly right. good morning, family. the latest polling in siena shows that ron desantis is up 7 points as well as marco rubio. so why? we talk to the voters after a quick break. ♪

>> at what point did you decide, sir, to contact the federal bureau of investigation about this matter? >> when the laptop became my property in late july, i proceeded to kind of research what was on it to make sure that what i had seen was what i perceived as criminal activity. >> rachel: attorney randy and started in the mock trial and they join me now. i have been fascinated by this entire exercise. i can't wait to watch it on fox nation. i won't -- we won't reveal the outcome or what happened at the end of the jury. i want to play a clip for you. it leads to the next question. let's play this from randy. >> the proof here only shows that my client took all of that money and stuck it up his nose or put it into a crack pipe. >> rachel: so it's so interesting. you are defending hunter biden. so many of his actions, his debauchery and many of his crimes are on the laptop.

they are on video. it's so unusual to have so much of that. how hard did it make -- did that make it for you to launch or mount a defense for him? >> it actually made it extremely easy. it allowed me simply to lock at the evidence and then determine the evidence -- the evidence determined the defense. and i recognized that this debauchery, this broken, defaulted man didn't have the wherewithal to do anything else other than that. and that the government couldn't have it both ways. he is not some functioning drug addict. party all night. sleep with hookers and then during the day i will try to influence my father. no. he is doing drugs all night. he is sleeping all day. the only person he defrauded as far as i was concerned from the evidence were the people who gave him the money. >> rachel: interesting. doug, what surprised you the most? i'm fascinated by this defense

because people gave him money knowing that he was a crack addict. knowing that he had no experience in any of these things. so i mean there had to have been a reason. >> i thought it was interesting that randy and he explained to me and others that he kind of pivoted his defense to embrace the crack, the pornography. >> rachel: the porn. >> personally. >> not a bad move because the point is jurors would be essentially saying why are you assassinating his character if you really have good proof he didn't register as an agent. why are you showing me this stuff. in the real world you might have serious discussions about not putting that into evidence necessarily. at the same time, there is a counter argument which is randy did have to address it coming right out of the gate and it's like he did all this horrible behavior, ladies and gentlemen, backed him on his heels, you know, right out of the gate. right from the get-go. but, again, it was a fascinating situation. and, you know, we laid out a simple case real quick which was he did lobby activity on behalf

of numerous foreign governments. >> rachel: right. >> he didn't register under fara. >> rachel: did any of this lead to the big guy which is joe biden which is what people care about. >> there was this intense email h hunter is going to hold 10% for the big guy. everybody is familiar with that quote. we put that into evidence and i think it was pretty compelling. >> rachel: fascinating exercise. features the great miranda devine and john it on that first clip. encourage everyone to tune in. with watch it the fox nation. the trial of hunter biden on fox nation. i can't imagine how fun it was for you as experience to participate. >> it was a light bulb moment. >> rachel: thank you so much. meet the colorado senate candidate who built his own construction business from the ground up and now looks to bridge the gap in washingtonreat with brick by brick message ahead. ♪ cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month.
