>> all right. we have want to emphasize news you might not hear, going into the weekend and you might not hear. the latest at the border, illegal migrants getting into the country. hit record 2.3 million individuals of the so-called number of migrant encounters at the border. that's about 300,000 more than original reports. it does not include potentially hundreds of thousands of more what they call got-aways, those seen, but could not be

captured. chris joining us, national border patrol council spokesman. chris, this was dumped on the media late last night and i always find that -- i wouldn't call amusing, but telling because the assumption is that it will get lost assuming there are no news shows on the weekend and you're on one now that's live so we're talking about it. what do you make of that number and what it's telling you and what you've been reporting and telling folks for quite some time? >> well, you know, that number, quite honestly, is staggering. you know, a few years ago, 50,000 was a large number, you know, over two million-- or 200,000, over 200,000 is just, that's an insane number, but i don't think the worst is behind us yet. more people are continuing to show up on a daily basis and they know they're getting a free ride once they get here, they'll continue to move this way. neil: the 227,000 reported in the latest month in september, chris, i'm hearing from our griff jenkins that 10 might be

terrorists. i don't know how they determine that or what data they're relying on to get that, but all you need is one. and i'm wondering how significant that is for you? >> well, you know, that's very significant. you know, if you get one person on the watch list, that's a pretty big deal. imagine how many got through, if any, that got through that weren't detected and how many, you know, are needed just to give us a really, really bad day. i mean, one is too many. 10 is way too many, and then not knowing who else is in is even worse. neil: and i misspoke, more than 20. so let me step back because one of the things i first learned from you, when we were watching the border, is this assumption it's a couple of countries, mexico, maybe guatemala, honduras. but it's actually 116 countries that are included in this migrant wave. so it's widened dramatically and in fact, even more so over the last couple of years. what's going on? >> yeah, you know, the word is

out. you know, we have better representation as far as immigration than we do in the world cup. it's everybody's coming because people know that they can get through. we're the greatest country in the world and obviously people want to get here. they should do it the right way, obviously they're not because coming in illegally is obviously, easier than doing it the legal way, there are more benefits given to people to do it illegal. neil: when someone claims asylum you have to treat them differently. >> yes. neil: you sound like a broken record. i think it's an important distinction because there's a process and sometimes it's a lengthy legal one. could you explain? >> yeah, you know, when somebody asks for asylum, they go through a different set of procedures than somebody just crossing illegally and going back home. they have to get asylum officer, they go through the process, the interview process and determine if they qualify for that asylum. come to find out the vast

majority of them don't, but they know that once they get their foot in the door, they can just disappear. neil: all right. but it doesn't change the fact that most of those type of cases are adjudicated or try to adjudicate them in the united states, title 42 or not. where some go back to mexico, that's not the case with asylum cases, right? >> yeah, with the asylum cases, you know, with the remain in mexico program we could adjudicate outside of the state and now they're getting adjudicated inside the states and they will stick around for most of the process and toward the end will fade into the sunset and never to be seen again. >> in the fall and winter and through the harsh periods of the summer, when we still had the record numbers. what do you anticipate now? >> well, you know, traditionally we -- our busy time of the year was february, march, april and then die down for the rest of the year. obviously we're not seeing that

so it tells you, it's not the folks that are coming here to work, it's people that are coming in just because they can. so, i don't think our numbers are going to slow down anytime soon. i think we're going to continue to climb and i think that this is something that we're going to continue to set records month in, month out until they change something legislatively. neil: don't hold your breath, right? chris cabrera, national border patrol council. good to see you. and want to go to bill malucien. >> last night, the government did as blatant of a news dump releasing the numbers at 11 p.m. on friday night and those are historic. let's take a look at them right now. reporting more than 227,000 migrant encounters in the month of september. the highest in september in dhs history. fiscal 2022 closed out more

than 2.3 million migrant encounters, highest fiscal year reported. on top of that fiscal year closed out with 98 arrests on the terror watch list by border patrol. that's nearly quadruple the previous five years combined and take a look at the video we sot yesterday morning in eagle pass and picking up where we left off. the numbers are nonstop. this is shot by our thermal drone, several hundred of my grarnts migrants crossing at the same time. more than 1500 in the del rio sector in the last three weeks migrants were more than 35 countries around the world. take a look at the second piece of video late yesterday afternoon, this was another large group that came through, a group of 150 to 200, as you can see almost all of them are single adults, most of what is coming across the border now is

single adults and no longer the family units, though we're starting to see a serious drop in venezuelans following the policy to expel them. lastly, a couple of major fentanyl busts to show you on thursday alone in nogales arizona, 114 pounds of meth. the second one, 47,000 fentanyl pills, eight pound of fentanyl powder and 48 pounds of meth. one day in one port of entry in arizona and back out here live, fox's griff jenkins getting exclusive reporting fiscal year 2022 ended with 856 migrant deaths here at our southern border. that, too, is the highest number ever recorded when it comes to migrant deaths. records constantly shattered here, neil. neil: not the good records, bell melucian.

and this is a big issue, and a lot of people are talking about inflation and higher interest rates and topping the lists, but the border is there as well. what do you think the impact of all of this will be on the midterms? >> well, i think the chaos at the border and the images that americans are constantly seeing about people streaming over the border, feeds into the perception that the biden administration doesn't have a handle on any of the problems facing the country, right? it feeds into the perception that president biden's adherence to what leftist activists tells him what he should do, bungles things, the energy production, listened to the leftist on the energy agenda, on immigration. he has used the language of activists and followed the desires of the furthest left wing of his party who wanted open borders and that continues to feed this perception of the biden administration among many voters that he does not have a

handle on really anything facing this country right now. neil: well, when you have mark kelly in arizona and a host of others, even, the senator in new hampshire, and in montana, these are in the case of the last two states i mentioned not exactly on the border, but it's a big issue where the principals involved, democrats are parting from the president saying he isn't doing enough and don't agree with that. hardly a firestorm, what do you make of that? >> they're outliers in their party and democrats along texas and starting to freak out about their chances like henry cuellar, the fact that the biden administration has not provided resources or support, that the border is essentially open and republican candidates, especially in the border states and throughout the country have been able to weaponize that lack of an answer to the problem from the biden administration. governor greg abbott in texas,

doug ducey, and ran desantis, and hit home for blue state democrats, so this problem has been elevated beyond one just for the border states. it's also something that's put democrats around the country on the spot about all the things that the biden administration has no answer for. neil: you know, talking about the midterms as well, there are what, 17 days away right now. and i try to follow the money where it's going, because it can have a lot to bear on the final results at least where those with the money are placing their bets. i notice in the case of the republican senate candidate in new hampshire, republicans are pulling money back from that race, assuming that he, you know, he's far enough behind that he doesn't have a chance. now, whether they're right on that, who knows. but i notice they're pouring a lot more money into the hershel walker senate race in georgia and into the dr. mehmet oz race in pennsylvania, thinking that both of those gentlemen have a

good chance. what are you hearing on that front and where that money is going on both sides? >> yeah, this is sort of the last chance for both parties to move the chess pieces on the board before election day, right? all of these races are starting to crystallize. in georgia, you have early voting underway longer than some other states and both the race in pennsylvania and georgia, i think have moved significantly in favor of the republicans over the past few weeks. i think for different reasons. obviously, john fetterman has been revealed to be an even weaker candidate than i think that democrats realized earlier in the summer when he wasn't doing as many events and the campaign was able to get by by putting out memes and sort of running a smart social media campaign, but the candidate wasn't driving the conversation. now that he is, his weaknesses are revealed i think maybe too late for democrats to do anything about it. in georgia, inge even though hershel walker is a relatively weak candidate, he's helped

along by the strength of governor brian kemp at the top of the ticket. there's just not that many ticket splitters left when voters head to the ballot box on election day, a lot of voters are going to vote for kemp and looks according to the polls it's maybe going to be a blowout against stacey abrams. and pull the lever for hershel walker because they have an r next to their name. and rafael warnock is not particularly charismatic on centrist enough. neil: let me ask you about momentum and who has that going into the final days of the campaign. in 1980, i'm old enough to remember, you know, ronald reagan and jimmy carter were essentially tied going into the final weekend and then of course, there was just this wave of, you know, support for ronald reagan that resulted in the landslide win that he had that year, even in 1994 when republicans were expected to win the house anyway.

few expected the numbers that we ultimately got, that changed that house for quite some time. do you see anything like that developing or potentially developing, a wave that we just don't detect at this stage? >> i think if anything, the polls are undercounting the strength of the republican wave. i mean, for the past what, four cycles, the polls have dramatically undercounted the strength of the republican vote and in 2016, obviously, the most infamous example of that and polls missed stronger than expected republican support in 2020 and in 2021, for example, the governor's race in new jersey polls dramatically undercounted how much republican support was going to come out for the challenger to governor phil murphy. there's no reason to suspect that the same dynamics that drove those undercounts are not still present today. so if anything, i think those polls are potentially not picking up how strong the wave could be, given everything that's in republican's favor.

biden's unpopularity and inflation, everything with a red wave. neil: thank you. sarah westwood. and we'll devote time to it, crime, that's a huge issue right now and in the bluest of cities and states after this.

(soft music) ♪ hello, colonial penn? >> want to take you to new hampshire. this is from last night. two people were dead after a plane crashed into a building in keene. and everyone on board was killed and of course, two, that's all we know of for the time being. no one at a multi-family building that it crashed into. we'll keep you posted on further developments, but a tragic situation in keene, new hampshire, they're trying to get to the bottom of what

happened, the n.t.s.b. is on it. on crime, a national issue to put it mildly, particularly in the philadelphia area where they want to impeach the d.a., tell me where you've heard that kind of stuff before. alexis has more. >> in pennsylvania, in this senate race, crime could be the deciding factor who could get elected. dr. mehmet oz gaining as he tries to convince voters that fetterman is soft on crime. >> john fetterman wants to release convicted from prison. >> public safety issy ran for office. >> and you can see the district attorney general who fetterman endorsed could now be impeached. critics blaming his policies for a surge in crime. and one of those he put in place the victim integrity unit which fetterman called ground breaking and reviewed past cases and helped exonerate this guy, 30-year-old jamir harris. harris convicted in 2012, but

he was released. now, harris is suspected of shooting and killing 50-year-old charles gossett who you see here last month. his sister telling fox news, she blames the d.a.'s liberal policies. listen. >> they have no consideration for the victims. this is to put prisoners that have been convicted back on the street. this system right here proves this doesn't work. this does not work. >> so he was elected and crime has surged. the d.a. says the push to get him out of office isn't about progressive policies, but instead, all about scoring political points. in this written statement he put out, the select committee is claimed to be focused on curbing crime, but refused to investigate any other county in

the commonwealth which he says has a surge of crime. and harris turned himself in in one of the murder cases, but this is an example that dr. oz will use closer to the midterms, harder on lawlessness across the country, specifically in philadelphia. >> thank you very much for that. alexis mcadams. we want to bring you up-to-date on the crime in new york, out of control although mayor eric adams says it's more perception problem. but it's not perception the person getting the crap beat out of him, but leaving that aside the mayor is holding a summet at gracie mansion, the mayor's home, and everything is on the docket except for reform. we're on that after this. one g a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future

makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody.

>> all right, these numbers you're looking at that show a big jump in crime from robbery to burglary, felony assault and particularly in the subways, up at least 14 1/2% in cases on subways north of 41%. reason enough for mayor eric adams to be hosting a crime summit at gracie mansion where the mayor lives. dealing with the issues head-on and the prior interview he says much of this is a perception problem, saying that better than three and a half million new yorkers take the rails and subways every day. the incidents are about half a dozen or so during that same time. be that as it may, the numbers are striking and staggering and they are getting worse, and solving them has proven very, very difficult to put it mildly. ray kelly is the former police commissioner of new york, the guardian group ceo. always good to have you,

commissioner. thank you for taking the time. what do you make of the summit? if you were there, what would you hope to be discussed? >> i hope something positive comes from the summit. i don't know who is participating in the summit. city hall has not put a list out who is going to be there. look, you know, this is not brain surgery, we know what has to be done to make new york safer. the things that made new york the safest big city in america just a few years ago have to be revisited. things such as having anti-crime units in plain clothes on the street, revitalized question and frisk, and have the police officers in the transit system. i think the transit system has to be reexamined. one was an autonomous entity with 4400. and now the bureau has 2500, and that's a major reduction. these are things that i think should be done. this is not a secret. you know, law enforcement

people know that this is what should be done, but the mayor refuses to do it. we also know, as you said in your setup, that bail reform, which is a very important issue in new york, will not be discussed at this summit which makes no sense. neil: yeah, we can't-- we don't know if that ends up being the case and that someone would likely bring that up you would think, but you know far more often when the mayor is interviewed on the subject, he like others in the city where crime is a problem gets back to the gun problem. with the guns out there, this is an issue of guns. what do you say? >> well, sure. i mean, guns are a problem and certainly in new york and other cities. shooting are down, murders are down and that's a good thing. all the other crimes are up. so, it's much more complex than just a gun problem. that's why we need those anti-crime units off the street. we know that robberies are up significantly. burglaries are up. and auto theft is up.

these are the things that need to be focused on, and these units have to be put in place, in my judgment to start to address them in a more effective manner. >> so, you know, i'm curious when you hear that in new york city, for example, they want to remove the conceal and carry or the freedom to carry a weapon, which they said was fine, and don't have them when the city is trying to stop that sort of behavior in areas like time square. it strikes me, commissioner, being an engraved invitation to bad guys to know it's open season there. >> right. yeah, i mean, it's telling it to the world that people who have legitimate carry permits are not allowed in that area. so, if you're criminal and certainly you're not going to pay attention to the signs. it just increases the potential for violence. so, i don't think that this was sufficiently thought through. neil: i am wondering, it's

natural for any leader in the city when crime is a problem, you know, to get the front and center attention it does. so many people have smart phones, you can video what you're seeing and that's essentially what mayor adams is saying, i think that lori lightfoot in chicago said the same, that it's a problem, but it's exaggerated with all of this technology. what do you say to that? >> well, i think videos have made a difference. we see a lot of videos of crimes being committed which we didn't see just five years ago. so, i think they're an effective tool. facial recognition now has been perfected to the extent where you can identify people by their faces much easier fashion. of course, that's why you see the criminals with the-- with their masks on and wearing their hoodie. so i think it's an issue, but, you know, i think it's a positive issue, enables the police to better solve some of

these horrific crimes that we've seen. certainly, you know, the police department, i think, has been effective in arresting people when we see these horrific events and a lot of that has to do with video. neil: finally, i want to get your take on the-- maybe it's different this time. it's always dangerous when you talk about crime and i see it around manhattan and i get in early when i come to work and there are questionable elements on the street and many of them clearly have mental issues. so, the people behind the crimes are people who i suspect either don't even appreciate that they will never have to deal with punishment for their crime or don't care. has that changed things? >> yes, it has changed things and there seems to be a lot more people who need mental help on the street. they're somehow been

emboldened. we need more institutional beds for people with these problems, but they have continually been reduced. we need a major effort in this regard because they've talked about only six crimes a day in the subway system, but it's the environment, it's feeling of it being unsafe, a feeling of a lot of people who need mental health treatment are on the subway system. they're sleeping on the subway system. their quality of life issues in the subway, and a lot of them are caused by people who have significant mental health problems. so, it's a big issue and there has to be ultimately addressed in a multi-facetted way. neil: you're right about all of the above. ray kelly, former n.y.p.d. commissioner, good seeing you again. >> thank you, neil. neil: to raise a point here in the video, not a single gun involved, often times just a lot of fists flying and a lot of knives, but not a single gun. more often than not how to get

on top of the people who are the problem. we'll again keep an eye on the summit at gracie mansion. very little we know who is in attendance and what will come of it, just that it's going on. we'll keep you posted on that and the latest in urich. you've heard -- that's in ukraine. you've heard about the crohn's the drones they're using in iran. they're lethal. very deadly after this. thanks to chase, angie's not sweating this text since there's zero overdraft fees if she overdraws by $50 or less. and, kyle, well, he's keeping calm with another day to adjust his balance if he overdraws by more than $50. overdraft assist from chase. make more of what's yours. born in 1847, formally enslaved, started buying land, was in the house of representatives. finding out this family history, these things become anchors for your soul.

>> all right. for a country that's on the run. they have a funny way of showing it, whatever you want to call it. a massive missile attack in ukraine. trey yingst has more from kyiv. >> good morning, amid this rising tension on the ground in ukraine. yesterday a bipartisan group of u.s. lawmakers met with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy here in kyiv. here is a look at our interview with those congressmen. >> why was it important to come and what did you do while you were in ukraine. >> we're three seniors members of the intelligence committee and important to be here to send a signal to the ukrainians, even though it's a couple of weeks before the election, we choose to be here even though it may be risky, we choose to be here to send a signal on bipartisan basis the united states is committed to this fight and so we've had a

series of terrific meetings from the president of his people, people running the war and i think we've been able to deliver that message that united states is very much behind the government and behind the ukrainian people. >> and what can the americans do to help ukraine when they're not only facing a threat from russia, but now as we've seen according to reports iranian rigc members in crimea training them to use the drones. >> the fact that iran is here demonstrates the weakness of the russian military and that's something to somewhat success as to what ukraine has done with our support. but now, of course, we need to rise to that threat together and there are certainly things we can do, as the threat evolves and changes, we have an ability to help and support them as do all of our n.a.t.o. allies and european allies, we're not the only ones here and the united states is working diligently to make certain that we're not the only ones providing support to

ukraine. >> how serious should the american people take the threats by russian president putin of using nuclear weapons in this war? >> well, it's absolutely irresponsible for him to bring up nuclear weapons and what he should know is that we are in this fight in a bipartisan way in america, stitching together allies, not just of n.a.t.o., but across the world and we're going to continue to fund the ukrainian effort until russia leaves ukraine, but to elevate it to that level is absolutely irresponsible. it's reprehensible and i don't think it's worthy of a tit-for-tat to give him what he wants in that back and forth of the rhetoric. >> thank you very much for your time. >> russian forces continue to attack ukraine's power grid. we heard the sirens today in the capital of kyiv. it's part of the reason that zelenskyy was stressing the need to those lawmakers for more air defense systems that could be delivered to ukraine in the coming weeks. neil: i'm curious, did any of them address with you, it might

have been a comment made errantly on the comment of kevin mccarthy, could be the next speaker of the house, that kind of warned no more blank checks for ukraine, that we would look closely at it and he's since dialed that back a tad, but not completely. what are you hearing on that front? >> well, look, neil, i don't think that the timing of this visit was random. there's a real understanding in washington that there's a part of the republican party that does not want to keep funding this effort by the ukrainians to reclaim their territory, but part of what these lawmakers were doing on the ground in kyiv was getting an understanding of what's actually happening here and also, being able to deliver that message back not only to their constituents, but also to their colleagues in washington. people here grasp what is at stake. if vladimir putin is able to take ukraine there's no saying that he wouldn't continue on to a neighboring country like poland, an n.a.t.o. country, that could trigger in article five and drag in the united states. that's part of the reason that the lawmakers came here to the

capital of kyiv despite the threats of the city and part of the message that they plan to deliver, they tell me, to congressional leadership about the need to continue funding and supporting the ukrainians amid this conflict. neil. neil: and they came to talk to you, trey because you're abundantly fair. and that makes a difference. trey yingst, thank you very much. i want to go to general jack keane and get his reaction. you probably had a chance to hear what the three of them had to say about where things are going. is there any doubt in your mind if there's a change on capitol hill that ukraine should be worried, this sort of unchecked support would wane or be tested? >> well, i think that there's bipartisan support among the american people for the effort to support the ukrainians in their fight for liberty and freedom. i think that will continue in the new congress.

certainly, there will be people as there is normally that will challenge spending and also those who don't believe we should be there in the first place. but nonetheless, i think the overwhelming bipartisan support will continue even if there's a switch from democratic to republican control, just a couple of days ago speaker mcconnell-- not speaker mcconnell, leader mcconnell, i apologize, if he becomes the majority leader he issued a statement that he wants to increase the aid to ukraine and criticizing the administration for it not being timely enough, something many of us have been critical of. so, i think going forward, by and large, that support will continue. neil: the only reason i mention it, general, you and i have been into this before being the business nerd here, i report on the n.a.t.o. countries, western countries, who to a country are hedging a little bit, owing to the environment and inflation and their bad economies, i can understand it. but does it worry you

collectively? >> well, listen, i've been pretty surprised by the european resolve and steadfastness here. by and large, they've stepped up. we're providing over 75% of the support given that we have the stock pile of weapons and ammunitions many of them do not. but also many of them have stepped up and cut to the bone. poland is giving up tanks and fighting vehicles from their operational units. one of their leaders came and spoke to me in washington about it and steadfast they are, general, the war we knew we were going to fight with the russians in years to come are fighting now and the ukrainians are doing the fighter and that's why we're giving them equipment to fight that now so we don't have to fight it later and i think that's the basic principle what n.a.t.o. is doing here. let's end this war with the defeat of russians in ukraine and deny them the strategic ambition that putin always had,

neil, to retake some of the former soviet republicans that are now part of n.a.t.o. and that has always been the underlying concern. neil: you know, general, i'm not weapons expert so i'll always defer to you, but these iranian drones are something like out of a science fiction movie, i didn't know the capability or expertise. they've been deadly and lethal and using them with abandon. what do you make of them? >> well, first of all, some of the technology they got from us when they shot some of our drones down and they were, you know, able to obviously reverse engineer it and figure out how to do some of this. these are the same drones that they've actually used against israel, the hezbollah working it, and also the houthis, against saudi arabia. and there's about an 80-pound warhead in the nose of it and loiter while searches for the target and operator will designate it and fly it into

the target and explodes upon contact. it's quite devastating, i mean, the explosive isn't as large as some others that we have, but nonetheless, it's devastating and i think -- here is another concern that we have is there's talk now that the iranians are going to provide the russians with ballistic missiles. the problem the russians have, neil, is they're running out of their cruise missiles and their precision guided munitions per se. their stock pile has been exhausted to about 80% is what i'm led to believe and they would normally just go ahead and replenish that, here is the place where the sanks are -- sanctions are working because many of the parts that they use to build missiles come from imports and some of them come from the united states and that's denied them. so they can't replenish and they're going to the iranians to get them to compensate and i think we should take a hard nose with the iranians here.

walk away from the nuclear deal because of what is taking place here. doubledown on sanctions, not just sanctions against the manufacturers, but the overall sanctions on iranians and step up and support the protester more that are taking place now over 40 days over 100 cities that are ongoing inside iran by people who want their freedom. neil: always good to catch up with you about the latest and your concern. general jack keane. the latest concern where we're going on the energy front. the administration is tapping the strategic petroleum reserve yet again. will that do the trick? some people have their concerns and their doubts after this. ♪ where there's a pet there's always...this. that's why we have innovations like the maytag pet pro laundry pair. so you and your favorite sweater can forget about all about those hairy situations.

>> this is affecting everything from running a

business to all the way to food prices and in between. people have to make decisions between eating and heating, and that's really unacceptable. so if we do not catch up to the price increases, my inventory will shrink to a day where i have to close and maybe that's what the president wants. neil: all right. because the president says he's doing his best to deal with this gas price situation by expanding more purchases from the strategic petroleum reserve, 15 million more barrels, but it's not doing the trick and doesn't edward lawrence know it. with the very latest from washington, edward. >> president joe biden says he's doing everything he can to bring gas prices down. he says that he knows it's been hard for american families under his tenure as president. >> that's why i've been acting so aggressively. without the steps we've taken over the past several months to ramp up production and lower prices and get relief to

consumers, gas prices would be higher than they are today. >> and the head of the american petroleum association pushes back that the president is doing everything he can. >> what they need is to advance policies and we've given them policies that would encourage more production here in the united states. we have a plan, it's called 10 and 22. you can find it at 10 and 22.com and shared with the administration and they've implemented none of these policies so far. >> president biden saying his release from the strategic petroleum reserve not politically motivated and then vilified oil companies. >> bring down the price at the pump to reflect what you pay for the product. you still make a significant profit. >> he argues that oil companies are not using all the leases that they hold, the response? >> well, one thing that this administration has done from the beginning, tried to do everything they could to prevent production here in the united states. they started the administration by banning leasing and permitting on federal lands. we're currently at a point where we have less federal

leasing from this administration than we've had in any administration since world war ii. we're at record level lows. >> and the white house last march saying that increased oil production in the u.s. would have been online by now with no incentives, there have been no meaningful investments, back to you. neil: edward lawrence, thank you very, very much. what if i told you the cure for all of this is the higher prices we're seeing. the cure for inflation is inflation. things get so high, so whacky, so crazy and you get so frustrated you just stop, you stop buying, you stop everything. after this. ♪ the only thing i regret about my life was hiring local talent. if i knew about upwork. i would have hired actually talented people from all over the world. instead of talentless people from all over my house.

where people say no mas, no matter how much the president takes from the strategic petroleum reserve, too little, too late. the slowdown is on and we're seeing it in protest the around the world and in our own markets yesterday. in fact, last week where the major averages were up at least 4 1/2% largely on the belief there's a sense that the federal reserve thinks it's overdoing it might slow down rate increases because a slowdown is on, if not something worse. i want to explore that with tim stewart from the u.s. oil and g gas, the big cheese there, the president. tim, what the president is doing or not doing, irony might come down to the eye-- high prices are going to lead to lower gas prices and lower oil. that's hard to celebrate, but that's what's going to do it? >> awen i've had interesting conversations the last months and i recall one back in july

and the least preferred alternative was global recession and that would bring down prices. that looks like 100% the least preferred alternative is the most likely outcome, but i think that the numbers show that the energy prices are going to be one of the last things reflected in the recessionary impacts on that. we're witnessing this global game of energy whack-a-mole where just where we think we have one crisis resolved, another one pops up its head. i haven't seen it. the crisis this week new england natural gas supplies, for example. neil: and explain that. >> well, you know, new england is now competing with europe for u.s. produced lng. the wall street journal this week said that new england now risks winter blackouts, because of constrained natural gas supplies. and the irony is the marcella shale is there, and new england

would find out. the supply chain crisis that crops up. to your first point, i think we're a ways away from when energy prices are going to come down. neil: if the president were to announce, this week we're going to open up oil production everywhere, everywhere that we weren't allowing before and allow now, what would happen. oil trade on the open market. what would happen? >> i think that sends a clear signal and again, you and i have talked about this a lot. there's so much -- when you put politics into energy it has a tendency to complicate things and we've learned that and it makes the markets less stable. if the administration were to send a clear message saying, look, the energy, oil and gas in the united states, production, refining is a long haul bet, put your money in there, that would have some significant market impacts and i think you'd see that reflected in prices over the next few weeks. neil: yeah, but we're not seeing that yet and i'm not holding my breath for that announcement. tim stewart.

good to talk to you about things, supply and demand, the global market and a slowdown across the globe will see the prices that the president wants to see for the wrong reasons. the markets might celebrate that, i don't know if you will. a lot more on fox as we wrap things up here, griff jenkins and molly line to take you tloo you more news on a busy news weekend. think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger. i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance
