fetterman in the final stretch to its peak the reason the races where it is because the democratic party have been pouring money. i learned before i walked on the stage here that we are expecting another $10 million coming against us and it's a panic move because they know they are in trouble and they are pulling in money from every which way. it's vital that we have the support. if i can tell the truth about john fetterman more than he lies about me, we've got this race. >> todd: brooke singman has the latest on this major, major senate race. >> heading to philadelphia to hit the campaign trail with john fetterman. it comes as fetterman's team aims to put terms to rest after he suffered a major stroke earlier this year for his doctors saying "fetterman is recovering well and his health has continued to improve." he has no work restrictions. the legitimacy of that report being called in question as the

same doctor has been bundling donations to support fetterman in this very race. accoaccording to federal electin commission records, dr. clifford chen of pittsburgh donated $500 to fetterman's primary campaign this year. despite the fact that one point fetterman was dodging debates and stumbling over sentences, a former biden aide said there's nothing to worry about. listen. >> the guy is a political athlete. one of the best ones i've ever seen. he's pure talent. >> todd: g.o.p. candidate nominate mehmet oz focusing his attention on the people of pennsylvania touting his plan for energy dominance at a town hall event last night. >> if you want energy dependence and energy -- get the natural gas out of pennsylvania. if you truly love the environment, if you really love the environment, you should root for natural gas. if that's how we dropped our

carbon footprint last 15 years. >> the -- >> you have to go to dr. oz.com. to create a firewall for the american people, we have to elect republicans. that starts right here, right now with dr. oz. droz.com. if you want inflation to go down to me you need dr. oz to [applause] we have to match fire with fire. >> state senator doug master on the running for governor in the keystone state laying out the plan he sees where the state. listen. >> on day one we are going to rip away the restrictions and

drill like never before. we are going to deal with a carbon tax, restore common sense to commonwealth. people escort those busloads of illegals down to delaware, joe biden can have them. >> g.o.p. lawmakers giving yet another reminder of the people of pennsylvania what they would be voting for if they cast their ballots for fetterman. >> if you think that's a good idea, philadelphia they have enough crime in pittsburgh doesn't have enough crime. you ought to vote democrat. they are going to make sure you get more. >> this high r stakes race will have an impact on the country's political future. >> todd: thank you very much. we are talking to republican doug mistry auto you saw in the most important issues facing voters in the critically important battleground election. >> carley: there is also this, things got quite heated in oregon's gubernatorial debate. three candidates squared off in

a fiery exchange when asked about portland rioters and the deep on the police movement. >> people called 911 and they need to feel safe and have the right response at the right time. i've always supported our state police. speak of the original deep on the police candidate. she did not support police even when writers were rioter or less were attacking a police station. >> this doesn't mean excoriating the police when riots were happening. >> portland has been one of many blue cities ransacked and destroyed by rioters who continue calls to defund and disarm cops. the latest real clear politics poll shows republican candidate in the lead over democrat candidate in a coat check and independent betsy johnson. with weeks before the elections. >> todd: it's time for the g.o.p. targeting a handful of districts in blue states they

think and flip thinks that crime. >> one of those seats belongs to a progressive democrat porter and california's 47th district. scott, good morning to you. your race is being described as the most high profile race republicans trying to gain, the g.o.p. just dropped $23 million in ad spending to try and elect you. on the issue of crime how is it electing your district which can orange county and do you think it'll be a good shooting factor your race? >> crime is a big deal. katie porter is the deputy chair of the progressive caucus. it's the same call to defund the police. a couple of weeks ago, and article ran about her criticizing the police. she called the irvine police department a disgrace because they are doing their job.

basically she wants to eliminate police and just arm and a bunch of 87,000 irs agents and that's her view of how the world should run. >> todd: the crum registered vos in your district, telling you, democrat specifically, about why they are not voting with their party and are voting for you, the republican. >> there are three things for inflation, overall inflation, the spending going on from the $22 trillion in spending. it's the gas prices, it's cutting off and water, the keystone pipeline's, and its crime. they care about crime. they care about losing their safety at home, their packages are constantly being stolen. people's homes are being broken into. we have fentanyl abuse and that's coming from our southern border because the border is not enforced.

they are genuinely concerned about the direction of the country and they are asking for a change. speak to you electing katie porter who is the vice chair of the progressive caucus to electing a republican would be a wild swing. what are the polls saying about your chances? >> it's a big swing. in 2018 katie porter ran, she was new to this world and it was a tough year for republicans and she won and in 2020 her opponent didn't have very much money. this time she has a record. it's not a very pretty record. i have the money and we are exposing her record and that's why the voters are coming my way and that's why i'm leading in the polls. >> todd: have democrats come so out of touch with real americans, the concerns and the fears of everyday americans, a california residents quite aren't even on board with the democrat policies and you just assume californians are going to be on board with?

>> that's right. the democrat party has lost all common sense. you can't spend your way into disparity, taxiway into prosperity. if you don't enforce the law, people are going to break the law a lot more and that's what's going on. you see it in our big cities. you can hardly visit them anymore without stepping over some criminal element there. the voters are tired. they want a change. >> i'm sure they want to change in one particular area which will be gas prices for the president was in your state, the highest gas prices in the country and he was asked about this and his response was, well, gas prices have always been high in california. karine jean-pierre also addressed gas prices nationally and alluded to the fact that people should feel lucky and grateful because gas prices have fallen from their summer highs. i'm sure your constituents, the people you hope to represent don't feel grateful for where gas prices are right now.

what does need to change in california and on a national scale to get gas prices down? >> the president was actually in our district friday talking about inflation and saying everything was just fine, economies or fine, katie porter thinks the economy is markable. listen, it's a simple supply and demand problem. they have thwarted the supply, they've cut off production, they cut off keystone, all we need to do is like you were saying earlier in your segment about pennsylvania, you get gasoline flowing again more drilling and we do the drilling we get the supply up in the prices won't come down. >> switches the oc or the g.o.p.? scott certainly helps. we will be. thank you very much. >> carley: speaking of gas prices, president biden insisting the decision to

release a million more barrels from our strategic reserve was not politically motivated despite an and high gas prices being a critical midterm election issue. >> cover of "the new york post" says joe is full of malarkey again. really good reports windows live in washington with more. >> you've got to love the post. they always have great stuff for the white house does insist that there is is a response to an ongoing national emergency deserving of special action. now keeping in line again they say that we are talking about an emergency and in their estimation that means by its very definition no, it's not political. >> it's not politically motivated at all. it's motivated to make sure on what i am pushing on and that's sure there's enough oil that's been pumped by the companies so

that we have the ability to be able to produce enough gas that we need here at home. vehicle they've been releasing lots of it. 50 million, 30 million. 180 million, 15 million barrels. you get the picture. the spr is going down, down come down. meantime over at the white house they are blaming, you guessed it, greedy big oil for the high cost of fuel. >> you are asking oil companies to further lower gas prices but what makes you think they are going to listen to an administration that is ultimately trying to put them out of business? >> how is the administration trying to put them out of business? >> the president said fossil fuels, the president wants to put us out on fossil fuels. >> you asked me this question yesterday and here is where we would say. u.s. oil production is up and on track to reach a record high

next year. we've seen that from, what we see their profit margins. >> guys, let's take a look then. we are talking about oil production and cancellations and delays under the president. look at what we are talking about. back in 2021, everybody knows all about keystone. do not forget and were, and in 2022 the hit keep on coming. canceling oil and gas, lease sales but has not been pretty if you want to develop a domestic supply. over on capitol hill they say this is all just so mind-boggling. head spinning. g.o.p. lawmakers say it is time stop the madness. >> it's been 20 months of misery and vexation, and ho homer simpn goes to washington. pick your issue.

>> if there's ever been a better sound bite in the history of politics here in washington, i don't know who that is. the white house says this latest range of oil will be dispensed over the next couple of weeks so that means it may not show up right away at the price in the pump, but they say they hope it will. >> i think that's a major insult to homer simpson. ran that nuclear power plant beautifully, no issues. >> sector 7g. >> todd: thank you very much. in protest against president biden's energy policies for one hour yesterday, he dropped the price by a dollar a gallon and when asked about biden's accusations that gas stations are price gouging, he had this to say. >> when our president says lower the prices, we can't lower them. if we do not catch up to the price increases, my inventory, they will have to close.

maybe that's what the president wants. >> todd: time utility bills for mom-and-pop shops in the area have increased to 100% with the upcoming winter putting those businesses at risk of closing down. it gets really, really cold in new hampshire. president fighting doubling down on his electric vehicle agenda allocating $2.0 billion from the infrastructure bill to produce batteries for electric cars. >> i talk about our efforts to keep gas prices down at the pump without delaying or deferring our transition to clean energy. since i took office, selected vehicle sales have more than tripled. some people give up on american manufacturing. but not me, not the secretary, not the american people. >> the money will go to multiple companies in 12 states. said his goals had 50% of all cars by 2030 with a plan to

build 500,000 new ev stations. >> where has that money bins and? here's the list of some of the project so far. $20 million to preserve ecosystems, a billion dollars spent on international territories and one town in new hampshire got 20 million bucks for heated sidewalks. here's how some of those residentses feel about that. >> it's the stupidest thing that ever came up with. >> that money could be used toward something more bene beneficial. >> we have a lot of drug addicts who live in the woods. >> more treatment centers... >> programs for people who are addicted to things. there is a lot of that going on here. >> i guess homeless people are going to be able to sleep on the sidewalks as well. a lot of them have a nice place to stay warm now. the two that first lady did not mince words. biden refers to his initiative

to the new revolution but the president has yet to build one car station in his two years as president as he continues to drain america's oil reserves. can't make it up. >> todd: after living there for four years through cold winters, let me explain something. you can have open flames on the sidewalks, it's still going to form a coat november till may. heated sidewalks are the dumbest idea in a state like new hampshire. be to your town may be great but do you have heated sidewalks? >> todd: we do not. >> carley: remember when they paid all the money for the border wall? arizona has been first used shipping containers to block holes in the border wall hoping it'll curb the migrant search for that border state is not budging. >> question for you, carley shimkus. who the democrats turn to when they are behind in the polls? >> they are out there trying to

make america great again but we need to finally bring america together. >> i'd like to introduce to you the next president of the united states... >> was that a microphone in lizzo's hand or a flute? that was a reference. stacey abrams no exception for talking about her big campaign a event with oprah. you get a vote, you get a vote! keep it here on "fox & friends first."

>> todd: this is absolutely terrifying, parents out there. officials finding 12,000 fentanyl pills hidden inside candy wrappers at lax. the drug was disguised in skittles, sweethearts, whoppers packaging. authorities are warning parents to be cautious of candy their kids bring home for halloween. frightening stuff. the biden administration demanding that arizona remove the shipping containers it is using the block gaps in the border wall but the state is not backing down. >> carley: ashley strohmier joins us live with all the

details. >> arizona officials firing back after facing pressure to remove the shipping containers filling gaps left on the unfinished border wall. governor doug ducey responded in a statement that says "arizona has had enough. the administration charge the state with taking down its makeshift wall claiming it's a legal pier the war of words comes as the mayor of el paso contradicted himself on fox news when questioned whether the white house asked him not to declare an emergency at the border. here's the mayor on "america's newsroom" and when he first made those comments back on september 27th. listen. >> did the white house ask you not to declare a state of emergency? >> absolutely not. the chief, he did not support the declaring of of a state of emergency. our county judge does not support that at this point. we may have to do that. there's going to be a point where we may have to do that. but at this point, the

white house has asked for us not to do that. and el paso city council member join jesse watters to react to that. >> as much as the mayor wants to say this is not a political issue, those comments would probably say otherwise. we hope in the future we'll definitely put the people of el paso first and really take the politics out of it. >> the latest fox news poll sows that border security is something that voters are worried about coupled with elation and the high crime rate across the nation and that a campaign rate, j.d. vance said that republicans need to have a fight over the border wall by telling biden he won't get another dime until he does his job secure the border. back to you guys. the two thank you. alert now, we are told that migrants are set to arrive in new york city's new tent city at randall's island any moment now. the complex getting a lot of criticism including from

homeless people living in the big apple. one homeless brooklyn native telling the post "they got askee smell is awful on every floor. the bathrooms are terrible. there are flies in the bathroom. the tenths look five times better. in contrast, some beds are fresh out of the package. new york mayor adams continues to deny he's favoring migrants over the community. but of course he is because he is in a battle with governor greg abbott is saying is inhumane for busing migrants to new york city. he is rolling out the red carpet to them to the detriment of taxpayers but he doesn't care because he's trying to score political points. governor abbott has sent 2,000 migrants to new york city. the mayor of el paso has sent about 11,000. but he's not getting criticism. why question mike is he's a democrat. think about those that provide a

perverse incentive to those arriving illegally once they know it's basically an all expense paid life. why would you make that journey? this is a ridiculously perverse incentive. why are we treating so many of our own including veterans like this? let's call it what it is. it's literally, we are treating them like and treating these migrants who came illegally in a beautiful manner that they didn't pay for and the only reason could be because the democrats want to transform the electorate. you aren't supposed to say that but that has to be the reason. why else would eric adams bend over backwards for this group of people when it is hurting his own citizens in his own city? >> carley: there's a lot of immigration advocates in new york city that are saying, you better make this shelter nice. what does it do? he said this is going to cost a billion dollars? they are going to go on social media, going to take pictures of all the amenities and is a calling card for illegal immigrants to come into

new york city. rachel campbell talk to locals who had no idea any of this was happening. watch. >> what would you say to the mayor because he's the one who decided to put that tent city there? >> i hope the people are set up first and you are looking after the immigrant. >> todd: rachel will join us live to tell us what else you found next. do not miss that.

he wouldn't russian president vladimir putin declaring martial law and. annexed the regions of ukraine. comes as many believe bi putin s ready to launch a new covert the black sea. the author of "biden's playbook.

joins me now. rebecca, why is putin doing t this? he's strategically signaling that he's getting ready for a bloodbath. we should be praying for ukrainian people. the reason he annexed illegally these four territories is because clearing the path to use nuclear strikes. because according to russian military doctrine it's only to defend the russian territory that putin can use these nuclear weapons. and russia now considers those four territories as russian even though the rest of the world doesn't recognize them as such. >> todd: are the chances that biden will launch a nuclear show of force greater today than the last time you were in that chair last time we were in the set? >> much greater. biden h putin has all but lost.

he's running out of missiles and personnel, to the point he has to reach out to other dictators, iran, north korea to fill the gaps in his conventional war arsenal. they always knew that the russians had nuclear as a fallback option because he can't to lose this war. in ukraine because they consider it as strategic, it's like our monroe doctrine. he has to go to this unthinkable level in order to prevent ukraine from becoming part of nato. >> todd: when asked about what putin is doing, here's what president joe biden responded. >> i think vladimir 213 putin finds himself in an incredibly difficult position. and what it reflects to me is

his only tool available to him is to brutalize individual citizens in ukraine from ukrainian citizens to try and intimidate them into capitulating. they are not going to do that. >> todd: i don't know if that answer said anything. how should joe biden respond? >> joe biden should grab x and putin and act as an adult to put them in the table to start negotiating because we are on the brink of nuclear armageddon. joe biden himself admitted this to todd, brought us to this point because when joe biden was vice president under obama, instead of beeping up, we decreased or forced posture in ukraine. nato members still do not contribute even two percent to the defense treaty.

only eight members out of 30 and germany the largest economy in europe can't even contribute to copercent. imagine that. this has an bolded putin and president biden is at fault. right now the russians and nato are running overlapping nuclear drills and we are this close to an armageddon and the american people don't know this. putin is not going to strike the homeland with nuclear weapons or any kind of missiles. but in ukraine, putin has shown us the minute the first nuclear warhead is detonating, it ratchets up and it'll affect the markets, the global economy and the cascading effects are unpredictable. >> rebecca, thank you for your insights. we all need to be paying attention. >> carley: with major crises happening all over the world, get this. the biden administration is

funding drag shows in ecuador. fox news has exclusively learned that the state department awarded more than $20,000 to a cultural center to hold a dozen drag theater performances. the fund will also pay for several workshops including a two minute documentary. the goal is diversity and inclusion in the region. republican lawmakers are proposing a measure to prevent similar funding from happening here at home. the "stop the sexualization of children act" what block taxpayer money of oriented materials to the age of ten. one drag performer spoke about on jesse watters last night. >> they think they are being inclusive. they think they are teaching some valuable lesson and i asked them what is the lesson to be learned to see a man dressed up wearing awake and being in front of your child?

>> carley: great point there. taxpayer money was used last year to pay for a drag story hour for children in new york city. voters say inflation is number one issue. the democrats, are they listening? >> the top domestic issue? unlike you, there's no one thing. >> let's be clear. having children is why you are worried about your price for g gas. speak to dr. almeida king here to respond to the left's midterm priorities next. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. the three what? the three ps? what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price.

this sucks. well if you just switch maybe you don't have to be vampires. whoa... -okay, yikes. oh sorry, i wasn't thinking. we, uh, don't really use the v word. that's kind of insensitive. we prefer pro-lunar. yes, much better.

>> todd: the biden administration says it promises it will fulfill all voters concerns while zeroing specifically on abortion. peter doocy asking the president about his party's concerns. >> all important. unlike you, i know one thing across the board, asked me about foreign policy too. there is multiple issues and they are all important. we ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

>> todd: "ought to be being the goal." the fourth most urgent issue trailing behind the economy, inflation and the state of democracy. >> stacey abrams thinks abortion is the solution to rising pr prices. >> let's be clear, having children is why you are worried about price for gas, worried about how much food costs. for women, this is not a reductive issue. you cannot be forced to carry unwanted pregnancy for the realities of having a child. >> carley: i'll be, good morning to you. asked about inflation and pivoted to abortion and turned aborting a child into an issue of economic convenience which is so far from safe, legal, rare. >> what do you make of this? >> when you look at that

perspective, what casey abrams is saying, be so afraid that you want to get abortions first, it's more important to get an abortion than it is to pray, than it is the unified cannot come together, solve the problems of america together. when people are afraid they will make decisions even to taking the life of an innocent person. so the spear mongering that states he is promoting is not healthy. when women are scared or frightened or don't know where their next meal is coming from, it's very unkind to suggest that make sure you abort your baby because otherwise you are going starve to death. that's kind of what she's saying. i'm very concerned about that perspective. >> carley: she is not the first person to tie abortion to the economy. senator tim.wrote an op-ed about it and if abortion is our first and best answer sure are women

and low income families can thrive economically, the united states has reached one of its darkest times in our history. the claim is simply false and echoes the egregious arguments made in the early 20th century by margaret sanger in support of the eugenics movement. senator scott makes a great point. if people are having abortions because of the economy, shouldn't we be fixing the economy and said promotion abortion? >> i'm remembering something my uncle martin luther king said. injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere. killing innocent human beings are going to save our lives are i pay for your life, the life of innocent aldrin. we have to get a grip on this. the senator is totally correct. that is eugenics, genocide to scare to such a degree that they feel the only way they can live is to abort their innocent babies. we care about the mother, the

father, the community, certainly the child. we have to come together. the word today is "fear not. you don't have to kill babies in order to thrive and live. you just don't. >> carley: absolutely right. governor bryan camp was on ""fox & friends"" earlier this week. talk about this abortion issue. >> i made the point that we've done adoption reform. we've done foster care reform, making it cost lower to adopt children in our state. supporting furthering mothers with 12 months of etiquette extended benefits and other things to show that we value life. her position has changed three or four times in this issue so georgians don't really know where he will make she stands. >> carley: he's talking about compassionate alternatives. >> christmas is coming and uses his mother could've avoided him.

he was adopted by his stepfather joseph. adoption is an option. jesus... trust the lord to come in and help. don't be frightened into thinking that the only solution for rescuing yourself is to kill an innocent human being. life is a civil right from the womb to the tomb and there have to be better answers but i happen to agree with the governor. >> carley: oprah winfrey is going to be holding a virtual campaign event today or stacey abrams. former president obama will be campaigning for her later this month. her strategy issue hopes that oprah and the former president will energize specifically the black vote. do you think that'll work? >> i pray it does not work because telling the black community or any community -- one blood, one race by the way, the best way to save yourself is to kill your babies? i don't believe that's a great message and i hope people understand it's not.

>> carley: always great talking to you. >> thank you. the candidates in the oregon governor's rate take the debate stage as christine drazen now leads in the latest polls. >> will the deep blue state turn red for the first time in decades here to react what they heard from the candidates. keep it right here.

respecting our police. that doesn't mean walking with the rioters or excoriating the place when the riots were happening. >> joining me now is a panel of voters, michelle duncan sheriff of lincoln county oregon and loretta guzman of the bison coffeehouse and michelle, i will begin with you. this seems like literally a race about survival, human survival like if you live in the work and your chances of survival are going down but can oregon survive for years have keen don't make tina kotek the democratic? >> i certainly hope we don't have to. i know it has been hard for public safety in particular that alone residents that are dealing with at. >> todd: jeff, you got out and move to florida. you heard somebody like phil knight, founder of nike and not necessarily a big republican by any stretch of the imagination point out that look,

you see somebody ingesting cocaine for a straw in oregon and the crime is having the straw. you are in a state that a governor understands right from wrong and priorities but how can oregon make it if estate doesn't understand its own priorities and prioritizes crazy stuff and up the safety of its people? >> that has been for decades now that oregon has slid and slid and not provided the services. basic governmental services every citizen deserves. that is white downtown is a hollow shell what it used to be. people don't want to go downtown anymore. businesses are moving out and people are moving out to. >> todd: mentioned that. jim jumping off point for you, senate bill, for low-level crimes like terminal mischief but people can actually be granted conditional release with pretrial monitoring for dui

assault charges and certain felonies. jeff mentioned being a business owner and jim you are that business owner. can you continue to run your business in portland under these woke, leftist policies? >> no, it is crazy when you look around the number of businesses that are feeling right now because of the crime problems we have in the state and here in portland. it is pretty unnerving. our location, of cou course, polarized by the times this last year. other businesses close to us up to 17 times this last year. we are in the process of losing starbucks a few blocks from us because the crime here has gotten that bad. that they finally decided that they will move out. >> t>> todd: florida, use a port coffee event in your coffee shop and then had your coffee shop vandalize. tina kotek in that sound bite we played said she supports police.

do you believe her? >> no, i do not believe her. >> todd: why? >> i feel like she's been part of the problem that we have right now. she's -- we have these people in positions that can help us, but i don't feel like they are trying to help us. we are excited about our city but we can't help our city. it is like they don't want us here anymore. >> todd: michelle, i want to come back to you, real clear politics and leading the race 37% followed by tina kotek 34.5%, johnson 33%, but law office or are you confident the job will get easier if christine drazan is elected in a few short days? >> no doubt the last few years we have dealt with bill after bill the governor has signed and approved making public safety for us to deliver. senate bill 48 is just one of

those. you know, drug dealers, i have to automatically release him from jail or, you know, the business owners talked about having problems in the businesses. if somebody trespasses, we have to let them trespass extends and release. >> makes no sense. >> we just had a bad extant in our county and they outlawed us being able to pull over vehicles for having a headlight or taillight out. >> todd: michelle, got to go, jeff, loretta, jim, the next hour of "fox & friends first" begins right now. >> president biden heading to his home state of pennsylvania today hoping to move the needle for senate candidate john fetterman just 19 days out from election day. you are watching "fox & friends first" on this thursday morning, i'
