and in doing so, to reduce the deficit. >> reporter: critics say the deficit has been reduced because of the end of those covid relief checks sent out to millions of americans. president biden was asked recently if he would run again for re-election in 2024. >> but it's my intention, my intention to run again. and we have time to make that decision. >> dr. biden is for it? mr. president? oh --? >> dr. biden thinks that, my wife thinks that, that i, that we're, that we're doing something very important. and that i shouldn't walk away from it. >> reporter: after saudi-led opec decided to cut oil protection by 2 million barrels a day sending gas prices even higher, some democrats want biden to look inside this country for a solution. >> we want to see domestic drilling here in the united states. you lower the price of petroleum, it lowers the price

of fertilizer, it lowers the price of so many things that has an impact on our goods. >> reporter: senator mike lee, who also faces a tough re-election battle in utah, spoke as well on "fox news sunday." >> right now we've got a democratic congress that rubber stamps everything joe biden does. and he wants more spending, that results in inflation. >> reporter: and as you mentioned, mike, president obama is the one who's going to be out campaigning for democrats in those swing states while president biden spent the weekend at the beach. mike? mike: lucas tomlinson, many thanks. let's turn now to today's political panel, quill robertson, vp of government affairs, and brad howard, democratic strategist, foreman communications director and vogel group principal. gentlemen, welcome. >> thank you. mike: let's take a look at the fox news power rankings. four toss-ups that we're

identifying, pennsylvania, georgia, arizona and nevada. this is, of course, in the battle for the senate. brad, how do you assess the fight for the senate at this critical stage? >> well, look, i think there's a lot of factors that are going in democrats' favor. i think the dobbs decision which took away women's reare productive rights is a key motivator. i think they're proud of the president's legislative accomplishments. we've passed a series of historic investments in american families. but inflation and the cost of goods is a problem, and that is affecting democrats' ballot performance. i think we're in great shape in arizona. mark kelly's a terrific the senator. i'm more concerned about nevada, a pennsylvania and georgia. i do think in the closing days if democrats can focus on the economy, speaker pelosi sent a colleague letter to her members urging them to focus on kitchen table issues, and if we can make a strong economic argument, i think we can keep the senate. mike: our forecast at this point

is 49 republican seats, 47 democrat seats and those 4 toss-ups. quill, how do you see things on the senate side? >> look, this is a referendum on president biden's performance over the haas two years, and the fact is if you're going out and buying a mortgage these days, you're going to be paying close to 7% as opposed to 3%10 months ago. major companies -- as opposed to 3% 10 months ago. he's going to have to account for that, and i think it's going to be about democrat leadership with unified government. i think right now american voters are looking to kick democrats out. mike: okay. the pennsylvania senate race has gotten a deamount of attention. dr. oz and john fetterman due to square off on the stage even though absentee voting's been taking place for weeks. how high high are the stakes? >> they couldn't be higher. i wish more candidates would do more debates. of i think that's how the american people and the media

can hold various campaign -- candidates accountable. but i think this is a must-watch around the country. i think these are two very different candidates with very different agendas. i think dr. oz has proven if himself to be out of touch for the commonwealth of pennsylvania. fetterman could not be more pennsylvanian through and through. he's got a great agenda. he's relate aring at the -- relating at the grass roots level, and i think he's got the momentum. make mike the monmouth poll suggests a tight race in pennsylvania. one and only debate. there are concerns about fetter match's health after the stoke he suffered last spring. are expectations too high for dr. oz in the one and only debate? >> well, i think pennsylvania's going to be an indicator for senate races across the country this fall. and in pennsylvania -- and in all of the senate races, i think a couple of months ago it leaned democrat, but it'll ultimately be a test if fetterman can get up on that stage and communicate

his platform, and i think dr. oz is the stronger candidate right now. given the state of the economy and democrats' lack of ability to give a coherent message that appeals to voters. mike: does fetterman need to show he can perform? >> absolutely. i think there's a lot of questions, rightfully so, in his health. he's doing the hard work required. showcase that, you know, every time a lot of americans are knocked down, they get back up and fight, and that's what fetter match's doing. we don't have unified control of government. we don't have 60 votes in the senate, so a lot of stuff democrats have tried to do to fix the economy, republicans are have blocked. the reinflation reduction act which is going to lower health care prices, every single republican in congress voted against, that is a key law that's going to help reduce inflation. republicans have no policy ideas on how to reduce inflation. they want to repeal the aca, ban abortion nationwide. these are issues that are a going to hurt them, and if i think -- i think if democrats

are given a chance for two more years, we can get this economy fully bakken on track as it emerges from the -- mike: all right, quill, what's your response? >> it was called the inflation reduction act, inflation being reduced. if you ask more americans, it doesn't feel like ad good economy right now. again, this is a referendum on democrat control of the house, nat and the white house -- the senate and the white house. and what have the american people gotten for it? i think there's a lot of people looking to vote against the democratic agenda, and they're going to turn out for republicans because of that. missouri mike the most important issue facing america in july, economy and inflation was at 36%. nowst up to -- it's up to 4%. -- 44%. is that alarming to democrats, brad this. >> as much as abortion is a fundamental right in our view for women across this country, the economy and people's day-to-day lives and the kansas of things in society is critical. we've got to focus on that. but i saw another poll today that also showed one of top concerns among voters is threats

to democracy. so i think the january 6th select committee hearings are remind us about the dangers that a face our democracy, about electing election deniers is a threat to our democracy, and i think that is hurting republicans in certain states around the country. and so, yes, the economy's important in terms of day-to-day, but nothing matters if our democracy falls apart, and that's got to be about the tantamount. mike: if the midterms were held today, 49% would vote republican, 45% would vote for the democratic candidate. how do you assess, quill? >> right. well, a couple of months ago we saw democrats with the advantage, and today the we're seeing republicans ahead. again, we're in the critical last couple weeks of this election, and i think republicans are surging at the right time because it comes down to the economy, crime and getting this country back on track. and i think people are not happy with the direction president biden and the democrats have taken it. mike: nearly out of time. got any if predictions for me, brad? >> the house, while i think

democrats have a chance to keep it, i do think that republicans have the slight advantage there. just a reminder that every democrat needs to get out and vote election night. the senate, i think, is a complete toss-up. it's going to be a late night election night regardless. mike: quill? >> if democrats want to control to the the house, they're going to have to win about 80% of toss-up races. i would watch a couple races on the senate if side too, tiffany smiley in washington state and joe o'day in colorado. these are candidates running competitive races, and they're standing out on issues that are a bit unusual for are republicans like climate change, and i think that might give them the edge to give the senate to republicans. mike: fascinating. great to have you here, thanks so much. today on "fox news sunday," shannon bream has exclusive interviews with texas democrat congressman henry cuellar and senator mike lee. catch it right here at the top of the hour. also tonight shannon comes back, she's returning, the big midterm

defending his decision to release oil from the strategic petroleum reeverybody in an attempt -- reserve in an attempt to bring down gasoline prices, a move critics slam as a ploy to to help democrats in the upcoming midterms. joining us now is fox business contributor bill flynn. phil, it's great -- phil flynn. it's great to have you. >> hey, mike, it's great to be here and looking forward to gasoline prices coming down. not happening yet, is it? mike: well, so how do the markets react to the move by the president this week? >> not like you would think. you would think when the president says we're going to release oil from the reserves, prices would go down. they didn't. they rally after president biden gave that speech, and i think it's because the markets realize this is just a band-aid effort. it's a politically-motivated effort to try to get prices down for the midterms. and everybody who follows this market knows that short-term solution is going to end up costing americans more in the

long run. mike: we have a graphic we can show our audience of gasoline prices since president biden took office, and there it is. if the aaa average today is at $3.79 a gallon. phil, is there something the biden administration could do to help the energy markets such as boosting domestic production? >> absolutely. i mean, this is an administration that has been at war with u.s. oil and gas since the day they entered office, right? we were seeing gasoline prices when president biden was inaugurated at about $2.39 a gallon. he canceled the keystone pipeline, he put drilling moratoriums on federal lands, and he basically told people it is not safe to invest in the u.s. oil and gas industry because the government has a target on its back. and because of that, the u.s. energy industry has really been held back and hasn't been able to respond to higher prices. and what's more is when the government, you know, intervenes in the market by releasing more

oil from the strategic reserve, it actually hurts that incentive to invest in u.s. oil and gas because you just don't know if the government's going to try to put more oil on the market and make your investment worthless. mike: energy inflation over the past year, gasoline is up 18.2%, electricity's up 15.5%. utilities are up 33.1%. fuel oil's up 58.1%. phil, you're in the chicago area, i'm here in washington d.c. both places are cooling off as it is for much of the country. what's the impact on consumers as we're heading for the very kohl weather ahead? >> it's going to be a painful wintering mike. i mean, already for the first time in decades we're seeing americans behind on their electricity bills, their heating bills, cooling bills. and winter hasn't even really begun. we've got warnings in the northeast that we could have natural gas shortages, we've got other parts of the country that are talking about rolling blackouts. this shouldn't be happening in

america, you know, in a world where the biggest oil and gas producers are. you know, i keep hearing that, you know, republicans don't have a plan for reducing inflation. they do. it's to lower oil and gas prices, and the best way to do that is by producing more u.s. oil and gas. and if you change those policies, it would send a signal to the market, to opec that, you know, america is really back, and they're going to take control of their economy and their energy future. mike: speaking of which, the president reached out to opec trying to get them to increase production. they basically gave him the heisman. you know, how are the markets reacting when they see that kind of outreach to a foreign adversary and then basically getting a no from them? >> you know, the market knows that the biden administration basically bungled, you know, their strategic alliance with saudi arabia. it's not that we like saudi arabia or they're good guys, but they're still a strategic asset

in that environment. and when he came in vowing to make them a pariah state, you know, saudi arabia isn't likely to respond to the biden administration's pleas to help 'em win an election, right? so they're going to be backing off more and more. we're seeing that the biden administration's policy towards opec and saudi arabia with is pushing them away from american interests and closer to the interests of the chinese and the russians. and we saw that this week when saudi arabia even thought about joining the economic cooperation council with the brinks which is, of course, brazil, russia, india, china and south africa. you can put another s on there, you might be adding saudi arabia pretty soon. mike: phil flynn, thanks so much for your time and analysis. >> thanks, mike. thank you. ♪ mick mick a federal -- mike: a federal judge ordering the deposition of dr. anthony

key figure in this lawsuit. quote: the court has no doubt that dr. fauci was engaging in communications with high ranking social media officials which is extremely relevant in the matter at hand. additionally, the crux of this case is the fundamental right of free speech. any burden that may be imposed on dr. fauci is wholly outweighed by the important of plaintiffs' allegations of suppression of free speech. now, the original suit filed in may alleges biden administration officials not only pressured, but also colluded with social media companies like facebook and twitter to censor and suppress information on a number of topics including the hunter biden laptop story, covid-19 origins and security of voting by mail. missouri's a.g., eric schmidt, had this to say about the latest ruling. of quote, it is high time we shine a light on the censorship enterprise and force these officials to come clean to the american people x this ruling will allow us to do just that. we'll keep pressing for the

afternoon to you. even though we just set that all-time record here, we are picking up right where we left off at the beginning of fiscal year 20 the 23. take a look at this video we shot earlier morning on our fox news drone right here in eagle pass. this was a group of at least 100. as you can see, they are primarily single adults. border patrol sources telling us that just in october already in this del rio sector there have been more than 29,000 illegal crossings. in just the first three weeks of october, that represents a 50% increase over the same time last year. then take a look at these images courtesy of texas dps, also here in del rio sector. these are 10 illegal immigrants that troopers arrested after they were found sneaking through private ranches in maverick county. that is private property. and when texas dps takes these guys into custody, they don't hand them off to border patrol, they arrest them and take them to jail for criminal dress

trespassing. more than 5400 of these arrests so far. take a look at these images out of tucson, arizona, sector. this is a border patrol zone guiding units to a group of illegal immigrants sneaking into the border near douglas, arizona. ultimately, a group of 23 migrants caught with the assistance of those horseback border patrol units. then lastly, take a look at mug shot also in border patrol's tucson, arizona,sector. this is a convicted pedophile arrested. border patrol finding this mexican citizen in a group of 12 migrants that crossed illegally. he has a previous conviction in 2013 for lewd acts with a child under the age of 14 out of ventura county, california. and, mike, fiscal year 2022 ended with 600,000 known gotaways, and that is a major concern when you look at the fact that every now and then border patrol is catching a pedophile, a murderer or somebody with a serious felony

record trying to sneak into the country. back to you. mike: bill, what's the impact of these staggering numbers of morale -- on morale? >> reporter: a lot of them tell us they are very frustrated. they say the reason there's so many gotaways is because many of them have been pull off the front lines because they've got to do paperwork, processing, transportation for these huge groups that come across and surrender themselves. so they're very frustrated. they say a lot of bad people could potentially be getting into this country because there aren't nearly as many border patrol agents out on the front lines these days, mike. mike: billie me lieu -- bill melugin all over it in eagle pass, texas. bill, thanks very much. in the wake of tragedies like the mass shooting in uvalde, texas, parents are becoming increasingly concerned about their children's safety at school. joining me to weigh in, executive director of the national association of school resource officers, mo kanady.

mo, welcome. >> thank you for having me. mike: who are school resource officers, and what roles do they play in our schools? >> well, school resource officers, by definition, are sworn, certified law enforcement officers who are there for community-based policing and in collaboration with the school district. they have to be carefully selected and specifically trainedded for this role, because they're also expected to respond and to deal with any incident where an active assailant may come onto campus. mike: parents who fear for their children's safety in school according to the the gallup poll, 44%. mo, do you understand that concern? >> oh, absolutely, 100%. and i've seen numbers higher than that in some polls this past week. they should be concerned. you know, again, not living in fear, certainly, constantly, but concerned enough to dig into what's going on in their cool district and, quite frankly,

demanding that certain things be done to help build that level, quite frankly, of safety that should be expected in a school environment. mike: what can school administration, administrators, excuse me, do right now to make our schools safer? >> you know, one of the things that we grapple with is how far do we go as a society with this and what are the things that we truly can do to keep schools safe. and really it's a multilayered approach. one of the things that i'm certainly going to say to you is that every school in this country could benefit from a carefully selected, specifically-trained sro, that law enforcement officer being in the school environment. but also, you know, some of the simple things that we fail to do in that school environment sometimes which include perimeter security, making sure doors are are functioning and are secured during the day. mike: i spent two and a half weeks at columbine high school a couple of decades ago for fox. i think i'm just horrified at

how many subsequent school incidents there have been in the years since then. how big of a problem is this, in your view? >> mike, i was a fairly new school resource officer the day that the columbine massacre happened, and i remember that afternoon the conversations we were having and the policy changes that were occurring that afternoon in terms of how we're going to respond as school resource officers if we hear gunfire in our building. and i think the thing that concerns me, you know, a little over 20 years later we still have some agencies grab -- grappling with how to do that. we have got to make sure, again, that we've got law enforcement in the right place, collaborating with schools and train to deal -- trained to deal with these incidents. mike: obviously, there's intense pressure on educators to teach. for teachers who say i don't really have time to deal with security concerns, how do you respond? >> well, quite frankly, that's part of the issue where we need

professionals like sros to help take some of that weight off of teachers. there are some things that need to be done on a regular basis which include republican drills, but we certainly need teachers thinking about this to some degree. but, yes, we needed to do what we can to take some of that off their back so that they can teach and students can learn. mike: mo canady from the national association of school resource officers, grateful for your time and analysis today. thank you, sir. >> thank you. thank you. mike: new fox poll showing 8 in 10 parents are concerned about what's being taught in schools as we draw closer to the midterms. with 79% of voters saying they are extremely or very concerned about school curriculum, the only issue worrying parents more is inflation. roughly 7 in 10 parents are concerned about banning books with 73% saying it is a problem. meanwhile, 70% say the problem is not having enough say in what's being taught to their kids, and 6 in 10 saying there is too much focus on race and
