>> i came back to iran with peace of mind. so far thank god nothing has happened. >> you know, of course, dana, all of this against the back drop of these protests that have led to the deaths of hundreds of people in iran and thousands of arrests. but they are not these protestors backing down. her fate today remains unclear. >> dana: quite a climber. i love seeing that video. thank you, amy. new york city opens a brand-new neighborhood and it is for illegal migrants. the sanctuary city building a giant tent shelter for 500 single men on randall's island next to manhattan here, a recreational area used primarily by children for after school sports activities. that's happening. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. they play baseball over there

when the weather is good. a golf driving range and now a tent city that will only get larger. first wave after arriving from texas. it will be more than -- more like -- the city providing three meals a day. fluff and fold laundry service. phones, video games, wifi and popcorn machines for the initial 500 men housed there. eric adams saying the key word here is care. >> history of this country has always been tied to welcome in those who are fleeing harm. that is the spirit of this country. it must be done in an organized way and i believe that we will always be responsible as new yorkers to make sure whoever comes here we're going to do our job and that's what we've done. i think new york has been a role model on how to effectively use our

infrastructure to address the crisis and make sure we treat people in a humane way. that's what we have done. >> dana: laura engel is live on randall's island. what have you seen today? >> we haven't seen any buses yet. today is the day that the massive migrant relief center opens its doors to hundreds of asylum seekers who have made their way from the southern border here to the big apple where they will have cots, food, shelter, and a wide range of services as you mentioned there at the top. while some call this setup a tent city, the humanitarian emergency response and relief center has one main tent that will have 449 cots, a second tent will be ready for overflow visitors and there are some smaller tents here as well. now the city had to move these tents from the bronx to this location due to flooding, a move that the new york city mayor's administration admitted cost the city $650,000 in relocation expenses. the 84,000 square foot facility

has a lot to offer which is city's emergency management commissioner has called a short term solution for people to figure out what their next destination will be. some amenities include covid tests, showers, landry service, rec room, tvs, xboxs and phone banks to call family internationally as well as legal services and a cafeteria. >> also be snacks that are provided, coffee, tea, water, 24 hours a day. those meals are all culturally appropriate. south america fare. >> the relief center had been tagged on google maps as adam's tent city earlier today. since been removed. google rep telling fox this morning they were made aware of that calling it an incorrect edit and have removed the listing. critics of the plan say this is great but these types of services should be offered for our vets, homeless vets and the

city's homeless population which has been overwhelming for a number of years. we'll see how today goes. >> dana: incredible report. fentanyl deaths are plaguing rural communities. we were talking about that. it also includes west virginia, the state with the most opioid overdose deaths per capita. fox news road along with officials looking for drug dealers. >> drugs are flooding into rural america. west virginia, greater appalachia now considered high intensity drug trafficking areas with fentanyl the users are losing lives in drones. officers and agents on drug task forces trying to prevent it from getting out of control. >> confidential imform answer are standard tools for drug

cops. he is given cash, sent to meet a dealer and come back with drugs. >> heroin/fentanyl. >> different informants, different dealers and small drug purchases. >> he cut it out of the stash and -- >> west virginia leads the nation for drug overdose mortality per capita. for every 100,000 people, 84 die from overdose. almost all of the deaths are linked forfentanyl. >> it was preventable. >> her son rian died of an overdose. >> you will never hear a knock on the door or talk to them again. it is forever when you lose a child. >> the work done yesterday with the informants was to establish probable cause. probably a stash of dope in the house where they were working. then they go to the judge, get a warrant. the guys in the task force are about to execute that warrant. >> police search warrant. police search warrant. >> hands behind your backs.

>> this raid netted meth, pot, $5,000 and gun. big hauls are rare here. this is the end of the trafficking route. where drugs have been divided up for sale to individuals who just might die. >> not a family in this area that hasn't been touched by the crisis, that's a guarantee. >> the suspect swept up in the raid is a felon. because he had that gun agents are able to pressure him, turn information on your supplier or face prison time. that's a big part of how the drug enforcement game is played. cops use a low-level guys to try to drum up information on suppliers uphill. the traffickers try to beat them, meet demand and make their money. >> dana: fascinating story. thank you, mike. bill. >> bill: dana, thank you. now a focus on the state of michigan, all right? want to take you back to 2020 and find out what happened there between joe biden and donald trump. pretty close race there just

about three points separating biden from trump for a total of 154,000 votes. what do we have on the governor's race now? a good match-up. on the governor's race gretchen whitmer is trying to get reelected. she was quite well-known across the country during covid. she is being challenged by a first-time politician by the name of dixon. wait until you see this. this is the money matters, okay especially in close elections, money really can make a difference. in michigan today gretchen whitmer had $31 million last month, dixon had more than $2 million. how to compete is a good question. she is here in new york, dana. >> dana: first time political candidate dixon is looking to deny whitmer a second term. the state does lean democrat, which means dixon faces a battle on her hands.

polls are tightening, a new one shows if the election were held today 49% vote for whitmer, 38% for dixon. 11-point difference. she joins us to make her case. the polls could be wrong and you are on the ground every day talking to people in michigan. it's a battleground state. >> we see closer polls every day. the big issue in michigan is education. what biden and whitmer did keeping kids out of school for so long and she followed his policies. keep the kids out. keep them out longer and they have suffered. now we have an interesting thing happening where we have sex and gender in schools and parents are rebelling against this. in all of our communities. one of our democrat strongholds, dear born, michigan parents have said we're done. we want to make sure our kids are learning the basics in school and going back to reading, writing and math. critical in the state of michigan and it is flipping the race. >> bill: the dollar figures is

quite daunting. how do you win an election in a state considered to be that close when you are that far outpent by your opponent? >> with good messaging and coming on shows like this and having events but also we have folks coming in, allies coming in. republican governors association is coming if and helping putting out ads and talking about the things that matter to people. whitner is not talking about inflation. every time joe biden spends more money she cheers that on. we're talking about what we're going to do to get money into the pockets of people. when asked she ignores that question. right now we're seeing those polls tighten and seeing people come out. we have polls showing in some cases tied and some cases 4 to 5 points apart. i think that's a testament to our messaging compared to theirs. that we can come so close in this race with such a disparity in money. >> dana: that's true. you earned media can sometimes be worth more than something you pay for. curious because you have been traveling the state.

is there a story or an issue or somebody that you met that has really stuck with you that you think about every day which is part of the reason you want to run? >> absolutely. there are a few times we've gone around the state and had someone come up to me and burst into tears. a couple parents. one woman in particular. we went to a coffee shop. she asked how she could support. she said i just have to have our state back. it's really striking. i come here to new york and i see people everywhere. you go to cities in michigan and the businesses are closed. we lost 3,000 restaurants across the state and it shows in our small towns. people don't have any place to go jen more. they don't feel the sense of community. they were destroyed by these policies. so when i see people who are saying please bring our state back, that's our opportunity to get those people on board. we also have a lot of people out there talking about our two proposals on the ballot. one was for abortion and proposal on the ballot for

voting rights. against voting rights taking away voter i.d. that is bringing out non-traditional mid-term voerts. people are saying we can't have an election that's not secure. they've been going to our website to find out what we're doing about that and supportive and we think that's the answer. >> bill: she was aggressive during covid. some people liked it, did not. business owners made themselves quite well-known, quite vocal with us during our programming during the pandemic. top issues for michigan voters. inflation, 29%. clearly number one. then you have addressing abortion laws. you have a statewide referendum on the ballot that would address abortion. does that help you, does that hurt you, is that possibly the deciding factor or issue in your race? >> initially a lot of people said if we -- the governor will decide this. that helps us. the governor is not going to decide it. it's on the ballot.

if people want that position for abortion with no limits they can vote for that on the ballot without having to vote for a governor that will choose that. it has been decided by a judge ?t state of michigan. abortion in the governor's race is off the table. inflation is what we're talking about. when we go back to inflation governor whitmer has had time and time again opportunity to put money back into the pockets of people whether it's cutting the income tax, cutting the retirement tax, or giving a gas tax holiday she has vetoed all of those. she has four years to help financially and she said no every time and now they're in a critical situation with finances and still saying no to the people. that's our opportunity to show the people that we are willing to work with them and make sure it's affordable to live in michigan. >> dana: democrats must think they have a race on their hands because they keep spending all the money. >> and bringing in president obama. that's flattering to me. >> great to meet you.

a race on our radar and see what comes in 20 days. >> dana: check this out now. >> today's guilty verdict provides some sense of justice for kristen. the smarts and for our community. >> bill: law enforcement applauding the guilty verdict for the man accused of murdering kristen smart. she disappeared 26 years old. what her family is saying about that verdict today. >> dana: criminals gone wild in philadelphia. attacking police. what the candidates are saying about crime in the race for pennsylvania senator and what it means for the mid-terms. >> i put -- every time we lost somebody in my community, that's how personal of an issue that it was. >> we cannot have the lawlessness that's raging in philadelphia. terans the va cash out loan with no upfront costs for an appraisal or termite inspection. no upfront costs at all. let us get your family security of cash in the bank.

>> without kristen there is no join or happiness in this verdict. >> this case will not be over until kristen is returned home. >> dana: reaction pouring in after a jury found her former classmate guilty of murdering her. it comes more than 25 years after smart's disappearance. we have the story from los angeles. hi, jonathan. >> for a quarter century kristen smart's family searched for answers and the police searched for clues and the entire community in california searched for a killer. now they know the 19-year-old student who disappeared on may 25, 1996 after leaving a party was murdered by paul flores who had offered to walk smart back to her dorm after the party.

prosecutors allege flores, a fellow student, may have drugged smart. they said he then raped or attempted to rape her before killing her and hiding her body under the deck of his father's house. now convicted of murder, he faces 25 years to life in prison. >> today's guilty verdict provides some sense of justice for kristen. the smarts and for our community. today justice delayed is not justice denied. >> flores' father was accused of helping his son move smart's body in 2020 as investigators renewed their inquiries about his property. the father was acquitted of being an accessory to murder. kristen smart's father campaigned for years to keep the investigation of his daughter's disappearance in the headlines. he said the verdict renewed his faith in justice but he can't

truly rest his daughter's body is found. >> after 26 years with today's split verdicts, we learned that our quest for justice for kristen will continue. >> the county sheriff echoed that sentiment saying for the family and for the community and for themselves, investigators will not rest until kristen is returned home. dana. >> dana: a long story and still goes on. thank you, jonathan. >> bill: fearless criminals out of control in the city of brotherly love. a violent move on illegal atvs and dirt bikes hurled bricks and bottles at officer at a wild assault at a gas station. brazen attack in the dem run city taking place as dr. oz puts the focus on out of control crime against the campaign against john fetterman. good morning.

no fear. i would say no fear. i would also say no respect for police. how did we get to this point? >> you know, the old line from tale of two cities, these are the best of times and the worse of times in philadelphia. on the positive side of the ledger you have the sports teams, you have the phillies and the national league championship series. you have the philadelphia eagles, the only undefeated team in the nfl. that's great. on the other hand you have lawlessness, chaos, you have these dirt bikers and atv riders causing absolute chaos. the philadelphia constituent sen writes even when no one is killed, the chaos and mobs the rioters is a sign our laws are meaningless. 430 murders already in philadelphia this year. on track easily for a record of a bloody homicide and the most visible aspect of the crime wave sweeping the city of

brotherly love the bikers, they are as you see striking with impunity throwing bricks at cop cars around the corner from police headquarters. give me a break. they blame the d.a. and the democratic mayor, the state, pennsylvania could determine who controls the united states senate. you know, you have pittsburgh on the west side, philadelphia on the east side. that's where all the votes are, this blue dot in the red. see the rest is all safely gop. but fetterman still leads oz 48-46. the race is very tight now. but it could determine -- it could be a -- >> bill: if you want to be tough on crime there is an opportunity in this race. david o is a councilman in philadelphia saying it has to stop. he is right. he wrote that police are instructed by the mayor's

administration not to enforce the law. the mayor's office came back and said it's untrue. whatever the facts are, on screen call for number one this is what philly is dealing with now. total crimes up 25%. theft up 23, robbery and gun crimes 53%. burglary 48%. the last week alone, geraldo, october 10th you have a 13-year-old killed, october 11th a man shot, he was killed. october 15th, another killed, two injured in what was considered to be a triple shooting. if you want to capture this issue for the voters in pennsylvania, you have an opportunity to do that if you are on the right side of the issue. >> this is rolling chaos, lawlessness. it is a visible sign of anarchy. it causes disquiet, insecurity among the people. you are absolutely right, bill, this is where they have to make their mark. they have to bring back the

love to the city of brotherly love. get these atvs and dirt bikes get them in a dirt track someplace. don't let them go through the streets with impunity. making people feel insecure. aside from the people actually hurt and even killed by some of these biker thugs. >> bill: the people deserve better, we agree all on that. thank you, geraldo. nice to sigh. catch you on "the five" soon. >> dana: the website from the student loan pay-out is suffering from a web challenge. as the u.s. struggles the turn the tide on inflation more economists are predicting a recession. what does charles payne this? we'll ask him coming up. ♪♪ hi, i'm william devane.

>> dana: as president biden uses the american oil reserves. >> every month the typical two-driver family saves $120 at the pump compared to where we were in mid june. every day americans save $420 million at the pump compared to mid june. >> dana: let's bring in charles payne. go for it. >> every day. what they've done with cherry picking data is amazing. in the last 12 hours gasoline went down half a penny. have you noticed that? america is so ungrateful. >> bill: bernstein was with us last friday and said we are ore down a penny. >> from june 3 at 3:00.

what about the entire administration? >> dana: why aren't you grateful? >> president biden can't believe it. he thinks america has shifted to where we can't -- something fundamentally happened to americans we don't know how to be happy according to president biden. we're not embracing his agenda or what it is causing us. it is crushing people. to be frank, you look over in europe and they have protests, people in the streets of paris over the weekend. we're pretty sanguine about this as a nation. we should be more up in arms. the white house has no room to complain. they put us in this position. >> bill: when you think about this, charles. maybe there is a shell acting in 20 days and more significant than anyone predicts. would it change policy? >> it couldn't change policy in place. think how aggressive president biden has been. they've been going for trillions. the aocs in the world may say

they're somewhat disappointed. they can't be. the amount of money that president biden poured into this economy, modern monetary theory, the notion of free money solves everything is a cleanser, it takes care of social justice, gender and racial justice. it has backfired miserably and what republicans are blowing it in some ways. we've lived an experiment touted for decades that somehow the government can cure all our problems with their printing press. they had a chance to put it in practice and they did. not just the 1.9 trillion. almost 5 trillion plan after plan after plan. what has happened since then? since the 1.9 trillion went through every single month real wages have been negative. every single month real purchasing power has declined dramatically. weekly wages if realtime going to the store what you can go in and come out with have gone down dramatically. the white house is focused on

the green utopia that they promised certain people and how to message. none of it is economic or really economic. occasionally they have to wrap it in the veneer of economics, what i'm worried now how much worse it will get after the mid-terms. >> bill: bloomberg says 100% recession guaranteed. >> between 40 to 90% depending who the entity is. more likely it will happen. i talk about these policies when it comes to oil. today president biden will go out there and try to blame the oil companies and going to try to say things like i'm going to buy oil from you at $67. you have a bottom there. you have a floor. which is 20% less than where it is right now. you have no excuses. but in the meantime what he has done with the strategic petroleum reserve set us up for one of the harshest winters ever. right now home heating oil, jet

fuel, tractor trailer oil, agricultural oil is at a lowest point it has been since 1951. 1951. that means inflation continues and some people aren't going to be able to afford to heat their homes this winter. it means all products we buy at the stores will be more expensive. everything is connected to this and it is suicide mission, it really is. now he is desperate to get any sort of -- any uptick that they can go in and say hey look, since this particular day oil prices are down and we've saved you whatever it is. of course they haven't. >> dana: they will announce another release of the strategic reserve today. >> it will be the messaging to blame the oil companies for not helping out. >> dana: they are going to say it is your patriotic duty. >> i want my people to watch my a block. i have a special guest on this and go over what's going on.

this is dangerous stuff and beyond politics. it's unfair. >> bill: thank you, charles. investigation now the nord stream pipeline explosion evidence points to sabotage. the new underwater video and what the kremlin is saying about that. stay tuned for that. biden administration putting pressure on the mayor of el paso, a democrat by the way, urging him to downplay the growing border disaster. that's the report. we'll talk to the mayor to find out whether or not it's true. he is next. >> i don't agree with the white house or anybody telling the mayor what to do. the bottom line is that in el paso, the el paso border, all the southwest border is not secure. you've got a big leg up. it's your va home loan benefit. it lets you borrow up to a full 100% of your home's value. with home values near record highs, the newday 100 va loan can get you an average of $60,000. and you can lower your payments by $600 a month.

sound familiar? it should. vote no on prop 27.

>> actually setting the alarm on this issue in may when we declared the local ordinances. the mayor promised me if this thing got bad he would declare a disaster declaration. and that has not happened. he said not at this time. you know, the white house asked me not to do it. >> dana: el paso texas city council member claimed the biden administration urged the city's mayor not to declare a state of emergency over

migration. the "new york post" says it's a tex mess. el paso mayor is joining us now. thank you so much for being here. el paso is one of america's great cities. beautiful place, vibrant place. what's the scope and scale of the migrant crossing situation in your city right now? >> you know, thank you for having me on here. that's something really important. i can tell you five days ago we were having 2200 a day. now today this morning we had right at about 1,000. so the new federal program has made a big difference. i'm looking at the picture that you are showing on your camera, not what we have today. it is not what we've had in the last 30 days. something that we've learned to adapt on a daily basis and one of the things that we've done really well is to work with our federal partners, congressman escobar and everyone concerned

to make sure that we treat people in a very humane manner. one of the things i tell people and look at them in the eye and say the way we're doing it here in el paso we treat people the way you and i would want to be treated. >> dana: okay. did the white house ask you not to declare a state of emergency? >> absolutely not. one of the things i'm very thankful for the white house and federal government have done a really good job of working with us and helping us to make sure we get funding to be able to do the job that border cities are required to do. as a border city we have responsibilities and that's one of the things that we continue to do. one of the things we need to learn and really make sure we do is take the politics out of this. we have human lives and human people here. i read the headlines. democrat mayor. i ran as a democrat but it is really important that once we run for office and we get elected we take the r or d away from our names and understand we have to represent 100% of the people that elected us. >> dana: we have here from el

paso sending to new york city 11,000 migrants. i understand why. but the mayor here says he can't handle this and now that we have a tent that is going up to help take care of them he has a similar view to you, we have to take care of the people that are here. but do you think the white house is doing enough to actually stop the flow? they are going to keep coming. even fit was 1,000 today that's a lot of people. if they move on from el paso they go across the country and we have this issue of the fentanyl problem. so are you satisfied with how the biden administration is handling it? >> this new program was going to take 7 to 10 days. it will continue. we were at 2200 a week ago. today we're at 1,000. i see it going down day in and day out. >> dana: the program you are talking about is this for the venezuelans to remain in mexico? >> yes, to be able to go online and apply for asylum and also apply for work permit.

it will make sure they don't come across mexico. they don't come across the country and not exploited and they're safe. it is something that has been important to us. >> dana: sir, what about all the people coming not from venezuela? >> you know, that's one of the things that over 50% of the people today that have been coming were from venezuela and now we'll continue to work with our federal government and continue to make sure when it got over, you know, 1,000, 1200, 1500 it was important that our community stepped up and the city manager, the office of emergency management, the ngos and everybody involved really stepped up to make sure people were treated properly and we opened up the welcome center to make sure that people were interviewed and taken care of to make sure we helped them to go to the destination of their choice, not our choice, their choice. we continue to do that. that's been very important and i'm very thankful to be the mayor of the city of el paso in a city that cares.

the sooner we all take the politics out of it and take the d and r away from what we're talking about, the better. >> dana: one of ways to take the politics out of it is to have the border be secure so we can all try to work on programs like increasing worker visas and things like that? >> well, i can tell you that el paso is one of the safest cities in america and we'll continue to be the safest city in america. i'm very thankful for the cooperation and very thankful for all our partners that have helped us to make sure we didn't have to declare a state of emergency. that's something you have to take very seriously and we never got to that point and now we're nowhere near it today. >> dana: all right. mayor from el paso, thank you. >> thank you, have a wonderful day. >> bill: 13 minutes before the hour. mid-terms fast approaching. the white house trying to find an issue that could help democrats maintain control of congress. is the issue of abortion the right one to land on?

>> what is president biden's top domestic priority now? is it inflation or abortion? >> the president is going to continue to talk about issues that matter to the american people and abortion is one of them. >> bill: "fox & friends" weekend co-host pete hegseth joins our conversation coming up next. it's called the newday 100 because it lets veterans borrow up to 100% of their home's value. not just 80% like some typical loans. that extra cash can make a huge difference in these times of skyrocketing prices. here's more good news: home values have skyrocketed too. that means even more cash! take out an average of $60,000 to pay down your high-rate credit card debt, consolidate your second mortgage, personal loans, and car loans, and lower your payments by $600 every month. best of all, there are absolutely no upfront out-of-pocket costs with this loan. and even if you have credit concerns, give us a call.

the va has granted newday automatic authority to make our own approval decisions. when lenders say no to a veteran, newday can say yes.

destroy it through that mechanism versus trying to use an underwater operations to blow it up from the outside in. >> the russians control access to the so-called pigs that clean the nord stream pipeline. they are loaded into nord stream one at the russia compressor station on the baltic sea coast and travel over 1200 kilometers to the landfall in germany. analysts at the carnegie endowment for peace gave this explanation why russia could be the culprit. stands to benefit. it will no longer need to invent excuses not to supply europe via nord stream one. it will dramatically reduce the risk of compensation claims. russia denied it is behind the explosion. others argue it is not in russia's interest to blow up their own pipeline because they lose leverage over europe and germany by doing so.

western leaders who i've spoken to say it could be a shot across the bow by russia suggesting it is now willing to strike critical infrastructure in the west. >> dana: interesting report. thanks for bringing it to us from the pentagon today. president biden announcing his plan for an abortion rights law coming as his party tries to latch onto the divisive issue less than three weeks out from the mid-terms. most polls show americans are less concerned with abortion than other issues. >> president biden: the court got roe right nearly 50 years ago and i believe congress should codify roe once and for all. the promise i make to you and the american people, the first bill that i will send to the congress will be to codify roe versus wade. [cheering and applause] >> president biden: when congress passes it i'll sign it in january 50 years after roe was first decided the law of the land. >> dana: "fox & friends" weekend co-host joins us with analysis. that's one of their closing

arguments. >> yeah, they've got one of two choices, double down on the issues they have been talking about already, which is effectively abortion, climate, and january 6th, our democracy. or pivot. pivoting would require admitting you failed on crime and admit that printing money leads to inflation, pivoting would admit talking about gender at the age of 2 inside classrooms isn't right. it would require closing the border. they can't pivot. they are invested in the narratives that satisfy their base. in this case it's roe versus wade. it doesn't surprise me. biden is talking about legislation not hitting the trail with candidates, because he is not someone that actually is lifting tickets at this point. so this feels like a grasping at straws to revive a moment where they thought it would motivate certain voters to come out for them but since the dobbs decision, every other kitchen table item has come to the fore and remains.

i don't think this has much of an impact. >> bill: you wonder what happens november 9th. you are right about the campaigning. biden was in california and oregon. barack obama will hit the trail in the key areas where they are looking for votes. i do think biden will go to philadelphia. we'll see how that goes. most important issues that we found yesterday, abortion is about six, seventh on the list at 71%. pete, i have to think their internal polling is telling them something on this issue. maybe what it is telling them is that people are motivated by it or it could be that everything else they've thrown against the wall is not working. >> it must be telling them something. if you are a political consultant you have to grasp and justify something. in this case maybe bringing out more voters they think would otherwise be disenchanted is part of that strategy. i mean what i said before. what is fetterman going to do?

reverse his position releasing criminals and now back the police? what is joe biden going to do, disavow the trillions in spending that have led to the inflation in the inflation reduction act? what are those who have been invested in open borders do, change that position and say illegality is a real thing? look at the issue before roe versus wade. it is education. between 22 and 24 parents versus -- to put it bluntly. the parents versus perverts party. new want parents in control what happens in the classroom or do you think we should be talking about gender transition for young kids who can't read and write at that point but we talking about what gender they are? these are divides that a consultant can't tell you to tweak or adjust on. so they are doubling down on an issue that has been orthodoxies for them for decades and they feel voters must react to when

in actuality the polling is telling us other issues are more top of mind. >> bill: maybe the pivot happens at some point but right now it does than. >> dana: they could at least maybe cut back on some of the losses. like all the ones in new york that the republicans are poised to win. telling voters in new york you better vote for this because they know they will lose a lot of those races. that's my two cents. >> when you travel the country that's what you see in campaign ads talking about the extremism of republicans on abortion. that's their play. >> dana: have a good day. >> bill: stick around, pete. before we go we have this. >> dana: this is cool. i love it. >> bill: cute, right? wait for it, wait for it. this woman going head over heels. she is doing cartwheels in front of a dolphin and the dolphin mimics her. the woman is quoted as saying

it was great to have a connection with her favorite animal. >> bill: you can't get your dog to do that. >> dana: maybe it will be on animals are great tonight in gutfeld sees that. is there baseball tonight? i was supposed to mention the phillies. >> bill: yankees won and they play tonight. >> dana: the padres, that's what it is. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: fox news alert. desperate for a way to lower gas prices president biden is about to tap the emergency stockpile again. 20 days out from every single seat in congress being looked at for election. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". later today the president will announce the sale of 15 million additional barrels of those reserves. a couple of weeks ago saudi arabia and opec cut 2 million barrels a day. this is his answer to
