is contrast their economic plan with the republican. i think it is important to take the attack to republicans, what do they want to do other than complain? >> carley: we spoke with candidate cory mills. >> almost every single american today, it is costing extra month of salary to buy things they bought just 22 months ago, reality is we have 40-year high inflation, we are cpi 8.3%. gas prices are record high, criminalality is record high, things are not going well for the democrats and they want to change the narrative so it doesn't highlight failures in policy. >> carley: if democrats don't pay attention to what the american people need, it could cost in the midterm. polling averages show the arizona senate race, republican

seen anything recently? what is going on? >> good morning, i have got about 600 people being processed behind me. they lineup about 10:00 at night and takes border patrol eight hours to process through the area. they walked over from the area between san luis after they have arrived by airplane, the majority of them in mexicali. >> carley: a record fentanyl bust in florida, mexico and china have strategy to get this into our country, why don't ve have a strategy to keep them out? >> i think govern governor dooc hard to secure the area, we have

the conex boxes that biden would like us to remove and they are working. border patrol is able to gain the advantage, funneling people and putting out more border patrol into the area where feenlt is coming across. we have had seizures as much as 36 kilos, that goes up as they supply border patrol in the area. >> ashley: fentanyl has been seized this year, that is upon raid increase from 2019. what you have been seeing at the border, what we're hearing, do you foresee this getting any better any time soon? >> not unless we can continue to close the gaps and fill in areas where the drugs are coming across. approximately three miles behind me in mexico, they shut down a fentanyl plant three months ago,

it didn't take the cartel much time to get up and start producing the rainbow colored fentanyl in time for halloween. we are concerned in thisirria, talking about the deaths of occurring because of poisoning overdoses, it is very significant. we have a wrap up of how the year went when it came to illegal immigration, numbers just released, record across the board with 2.3 to 2.4 million migrant encounters and a number that we are seeing for the first time, deadliest year at the border with 856 migrants that have died at the border in fiscal year, 2022, 25 migrants found dead since october 1, have you seen interest from the federal government in addressing this aspect of the crisis?

>> only from the men and women in border patrol on the front line working with local area law enforcement. it is incumbent to make report and in yuma county we had almost 60 deaths, i think we are at 58 or 59 or finish the fiscal year, cartel using the people and drop them off when they can no longer afford to make payments. abandon them in the desert. sorry. >> i missed what you said. >> a lot of times they are aa bandoned and left in the desert. >> carley: a lot are children that are abandoned and the images are tragic, nothing is changing and it will continue into 2023 or 2024 and you feel for people in yuma and your town and what it is going threw and

>> carley: fox news alert, america got its report card and it shows covid lockdowns and remote learning erased decades of progress among studentss. >> ashley: here are the numbers. >> the nation's report card was administered in 2018 and it was taken this spring. time between, eighth grade math scores dropped by four points

and five point, largest declines reported. it was three-point loss in readings in fourth and eighth graders. general patterns show the losses are big, bigger in math than reading and bigger in more vulnerable kids, consistent with other information in post-pandemic testing. beginning of pandemic, march of 2020, school closures were practical. the closures became political with teacher unions calling shots on guidance and dr. dr. fauci is seeking to separate himself from that. >> they say fauci was responsible for closing schools, i had nothing to do, get down to the facts. >> biden officials ridiculed states like florida for

reopening schools. florida had among highest scores when you look at math compared to california, which suffered across the board. here is dr. scott jensen, from minnesota. >> minnesota used to be proud of education, we now underperform in many areas, kids with largest disparity and drop off are kids who can least afford it, kids in minority communities. >> i covered a school district out of mississippi and knowing many students did not have access to internet, they stayed open during the pandemic and never had a serious outbreak and this year earned highest improvement rates in history. >> carley: that statistic says it all, there are so many parents sending kids to private and catholic school and paying

extra money, even if they don't have it because of lockdowns and they saw this was impacting their kids. of course they did, they are the parents and they know best. thank you. and ashley, this impacted states across the board, no gain in math or reading across the board, we knew relatively early on children were less impacted by covid-19 and cools were not a main driver of spread. the cdc allowed teachers unions to rewrite pieces of the biden administration guidance, it wasn't even based on science, this was teachers union infiltrating what biden administration was doing and affecting education of children for political purposes.

>> ashley: right, and in that sound bite, usually minority communities suffer, but this was across the board and did not leave anyone out, it is a large issue for a large amount of kids. back in my hometown, they got back to school really quickly, they have had, i've heard from people that i know that have kids, they have fewer problems because of it. it is amazing to see new york and you hear parents in new jersey complain about their kids are not in a good mood and don't want to do work or online learning. a stat said 4-10 parents said their children's -- got worse, i imagine it did. it was counter intuitive and i

wonder if anyone will step up, dr. fauci is washing his hands shg saying i had nothing to do with it. he did because no one stopped it. >> carley: how will this affect the midterm election, education is a key issue when you look at polling nationally and democrats used to say they were the party of the parent and you are seeing republicans really chip away at that especially because of lockdowns and woke things going on with schools, as well. >> ashley: right. jeb bush made a great point, the world we're moving toward requires significantly higher skills to be success envelope this world. makes you concerned for the future. our kids will follow this generation and what is going to happen with that, something to think about, we'll bring in

stephanie butler, a michigan mom of four will join me to discuss this. i want to get your initial reaction to these new numbers. >> well, i would love to say i'm surprised, but with everything going on in the world, i am not surprised by this nation's report card this morning. >> ashley: you pulled your youngest kid out of public school during the pandemic how did this affect your youngest child and are they doing better since you pulled them out >> there was two i pulled from elementary school and put them in private school. i can't even begin to explain the difference. my daughter joined cheerleading. she was getting bullied in public school. my son is learning cursive and coding in school.

it is staggering, they are getting a good education and i rather go out and break my back and give them a good education than i saw what was happening in public schools. >> ashley: i know plenty of people doing the same as you. last question, who do you think is responsible for all of this? >> well, i definitely would like to point my finger at this administration and especially the teachers unions, who have too much power these days. they do not have our children's best interest at heart. they are bringing in a staggering number, from 4 million to 2020 being 32 million they received in donations. >> ashley: for anyone joining, these are numbers, eighth grade math scores dropped by 8 points

and fourth grade math dropped by five and reading a three-point loss in fourth and eighth grade, worse numbers they have seen since they started doing this. thank you for getting up early with us. top white house officials issue including dr. fauci and jen psaki are being deposed in a republican-led lawsuit including biden administration to of censoring speech online. >> carley: keep it here on "fox and friends first."

the social media platforms and those engagements happen through our senior staff and our covid-19 team. we increased disinformation tracking and flagging posts for facebook that spread disinformation. >> carley: some posts flagged as misinformation turned out to be true. what are your thoughts on where this case is going? >> this is very interesting, this started back during the obama administration when the administration was trying to solve the healthcare debacle and bring the big tech to solve it issues they were facing and this was a good thing. we were struggling deeply with investment in it, wasting billions of taxpayer money. that created bridge between

talent coming and leaving, u.s. government senior roles and going back to companies to continue doing business and this created what you see today, back channels back to big tech and it seems that has been used to do something never intended, giving to the u.s. government to stop promoting what they believe is misinformation and then potentially banning that information and as you have seen, there was no doubt covid came from the lab and yet facebook and other social media companies banned hundreds of people from saying that. >> ashley: a lot of people want transparency. eric eric schmidt, one of the ag's heading the case says it is high time to shine a light on

censorship and force officials to come clean to the american people and this ruling will allow us to press for the truth. will we get the truth in this? >> i am hopeful, a lot of discussions were happening behind ways to communicate, it will be difficult to know what was said and when. most people will use official e-mail or in a phone call or in passing information, it will be difficult to track what was said. >> carley: it is okay for social media to make their own rules and sensor people, the issue is when the federal government gets involved. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. new video shows another person violently shoved on the new york city subway tracks, the third

subway train, this is david martin, he is feeling suicidal after this ordeal. martin's mother says he broke his collar bone and has no health insurance. the mayor's response stop wearing headphones or looking at your phone on the subway. >> carley: we got to change our behavior, got it. it is getting worse. let's talk about the minnesota ag, he claims he doesn't know anyone that supports defund the police, despite his own support. >> cheryl: keith ellison is under fire, he said, i don't know anybody who thinks we should defund the police. here is the problem, he was seen two days prior with representative ilhan omar, cory

bush, who supported calls to limit police fund, and i'm putting it nicely. >> carley: we try to follow suit. thank you. getting to a positive trend, many of america's military heroes are looking to continue their commitment to service. one in five candidates this year are veterans, most since 2012. our panel of three veterans running join us now. an army reserve jag officer. derek is a candidate and retired navy seal and a retired navy captain who served in special ops for 25 years. good morning, thank you for your service.

efter, tell us about your military experience and why your skills learned in the military will help in congress. >> in the military, when our country is on the line, we stand up. that is what we're doing. with everything going on in our country, enough is enough, we want to make a difference any way we can. for me, as a jag officer in the united states army, i know that the training, background i received will prepare me, has prepared me to be that much more active and jump in right away, understanding how the military and army works will be a huge asset for me representing my district, illinois 17th congressional district because in the quad city arsenal is our crown jewel in the community, that brought me to this community and to be able to represent this community having the military background is an

asset. >> carley: you pick up leadirship skills in the military and get benefit of perspective. you travel to other countries and see how things are run there and i'm sure you appreciate how things are run here at home in the end. >> absolutely, i've lived and worked on seven continentss and we live in america and it is called american dream for a reason, this is only country in the world where our stories can be told everyday again and again and again. i'm thankful to be here. this is in danger due to biden's policies, economic policies, abandoned allies in afghanistan, the border is wide open, fentanyl overdoses on his watch. it has to stop. we have proven we are able to put the mission first, the mission is america. >> carley: tell us about your

background and military experience, as well? >> i came here as a -- home -- served -- iraq. >> carley: we are having trouble with your audio, we have him on, he was a refugee, his family escaped before the fall of saigon and went on to successful military career and now running for congress, as well. esther, back to you. we are two weeks out from the midterms, voters trust republicans more when it comes to economy and crime and now we're getting attacks from democrats, bernie sanders and joe biden saying if republicans

take control of congress, things will get worse when it comes to the economy. what is your response to that? >> we can tell, every single person i talk to across western illinois, they know just two years ago, they were better off than they are today. we're smart, we can connect the dots as americans and know as derek said, this policy out of washington, d.c., one-party control and the nancy pelosi house of representatives and biden white house is costing regular americans $6000 this year for basic necessities know that the previous year and no end in sight right now. pe people understand we deserve better than we are getting now and bringing accountability to washington, d.c. is a key piece of that. as members of the military, we

are trained, i myself, my expertise as a jag officer is fiscal law, to bring accountability to spending in washington, d.c. is expertise i already have, to jump in on day one and help bring reign in wasteful government spending is a huge thing. you mention attacks, they are attacking because they do not have solutions, one of the biggest attacks, i was not born down the street, the military brought me here to be a part of the community and my opponent, his attack he's leveraging against me, he wasn't born here, this is a dig at military families, disrespect and dishonor they are giving to members of the military just because they don't have issues to run on, we will win this. >> carley: great point. i want to hear from you, we will try your audio one more time,

how is your race going and what is your response to democrats saying if republicans take control of congress things are only going to get worse? >> well, it is one of those things we've been there, we've -- budget. i know how to balance a budget and also we've been out on the front line. iraq, somalia, i have written policy for the united states military. also done a lot of foreign relations. >> carley: derek, we owe you a question. thank you for your service. >> have a great one. >> carley: turning to this, house speaker nancy pelosi has a new inflation strategy for democrats, we were just talking about it. just change the subject. joe concha will join us live with his thoughts on the plan. >> steve doocy will look at what

is coming up on "fox and friends." >> steve: coming up nine and a half minutes from now, 7 million people have cast their ballots for the midterms with just two weeks and one day until the big election. ohio congressman jim jordan will weigh in on that and democrats claim the republican party has no plan to govern if they are in power. i have a feeling he will disagree and collusion to censuring, top administration officials, dr. fauci and jen psaki will be deposed, what is that about former florida attorney general will break it down. and arizona gubernatorial cane lake is calling out her opponent for refusing to face her, she says the left is afraid of the left's record, and microe and

psycho. >> carley: we just got the nation's report cards math and plummeted thanks to covid-19 lockdowns. parents are worried about all the other things kids are being taught instead. here is a panel of on another panel. watch. this we should be pushing the actual school studies, math, social studies, science, not, you know, gender studies. >> you can teach the one thing at home but when they go to school, they're just as much influenced by their teachers and their surroundings. >> joe concha, author of c'mon man joins us now.

joe, math score dropped by five points since this test was last administered. math score whopping 8 points reading scores 3 points all across the board. what do you have to say about this and did you see this coming? >> well, this report card is devastating and yes, we did see it coming, as as a parent of young children who lived through lockdowns, remote learning, masking our children for far too long in schools, the fact that this report card shows the largest drops ever reported in fourth and eighth grade map is shocking but not surprising. not one has apologized. inflation, crime, gas prices and the border. election day. what happened to our children in schools and keeping them out, is something that parents, voters, they have not forgotten. they are going to make their voices heard about two weeks from now, guys. >> carley: i want to get to the midterm elections, joe, we are

getting down to the wire about. 15 days out. voters trust the g.o.p. to handle issues the most. house speaker nancy pelosi is her strategy is something else. >> it's about getting out the vote. everything else is a conversation compared to that the fact is that when i hear people talk about inflation, we have to change that subject. inflation is a global phenomena. >> joe, they are trying to change the subject to abortion and the mega maga trickle down stuff, but it's not working here. look at the polling here. >> it's amazing. republicans are trusted by well over double digits as far as their ability to handle inflation or gas prices or crime. and save the tape by the way carley and ashley. nancy pelosi's days as house speaker are numbered. red tsunami is coming. inflation will be the primary driver behind nancy pelosi's

retirement. it's ultimately the messaging from democratic leaders that will ultimately do this party in. here you have the president of the united states insist zero inflation or that inflation is only up a little bit when it's up 8.5%. a house speaker who does not believe that i knowflation and crime are the two biggest issues that will impact the election. like an alcoholic, the first way to tackle the problem is admit you have a problem. democrats, most of them, refuse to admit that people are feeling economic pain when they pain for food or rent or electric bill or gas. when the g.o.p. takes back the house, nancy pelosi who is now, what, 82 years old, will likely retire. save the tapes. do you save tapes? >> >> carley: i don't think we have tapes anymore, joe. it's 2022. >> i have aged myself. >> nancy pelosi says she is not worried about it bernie sanders completely different book set. especially about the young democratic voter turnout. we will see what happens.

>> ainsley: exactly. thank you for waking up with us on this fine monday morning as always. we appreciate it. thanks, joe. >> the pleasure is all. >> inflation, higher prices 89% of concerned, higher crime rate, 79% of people concerned that's not going to change in the next two weeks. a lot of people are getting out to vote. millions have already voted.
