congress and we been able to do a lot of interviewins since i've been governor and even you come down and done some fantasticic town halls i know people in florida enjoyed. god bless you and keep up the god work. >> thank you so much! you are pretty busy these days. tomorrow night the big town hall our first retaking america town hall focusing on hispanics. ♪ ♪ >> carley: a keystone state showdown as pennsylvania senate candidates dr. oz and john fetterman go head-to-head in their first and only debate of the 2022 midterm election season. you are watching "fox & friends first" on this wednesday morning. i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. did not commit to releasing his full medical records after suffering a stroke this spring but oz did not opponent on

focus onhis opponent's health. focused on the issues. speak let's talk about the elephant in the room. i had a stroke. he's never let me forget that. i might miss some words during this debate, but it knocked me down and i'm going to keep coming back up. this campaign to me is about fighting for everyone in pennsylvania whoever got knocked down. >> john fetterman during this crime wave has been trying to get as many murderers out of jail as possible. his radical positions extend beyond crime. to legalize all drugs, open the border, raising our taxes. i want washington to be civil again. we needed to be less radical peer john fetterman would not bring that. >> todd: live with the latest on this and the other high stick debates happening overnight. >> john fetterman and dr. mehmet oz's long-awaited debate was not short on drama.

using closed captioning after suffering a stroke earlier this year was confronted about his previous conflicting statements on fracking. listen. >> you have made two conflicting statements regarding fracking. in a 2018 interview you said "i don't support fracking at all. i never have." earlier this month you told an interviewer "i support fracking" -- >> no. i do support fracking. i don't... i support fracking and i do support fracking. speak to dr. all is confronting a 2013 incident where he pointed a shotgun at an unarmed black man who was jogging. the mayor of braddock pets of any other time claims the community understood his act actions. >> why haven't you apologize to the unarmed innocent black man who you put a shotgun to his chest? >> everybody in braddock, an

overwhelming majority of community of black -- they all understood what happened. >> the two candidates tackling the issue of abortion. the federal government shouldn't be involved while fetterman doubled down on his pro-choice stance. >> as a position, i've been in the room where there are difficult conversations happening but i do not want the federal government involved with that at all. >> i supported roe v. wade. that was a law of the land for 50 years. he celebrated when that fell down and i would fight to reestablish on roe v. wade. >> fetterman's mitigation director seeming thrilled with the democrat's performance. >> for a guy who was just in the hospital months ago, took it to dr. oz pretty [bleep]ing hardware john spoke better tonight than he did in the primary. >> the debate was a complete disaster for john fetterman there he was not able to defend any of his radical positions

tonight. >> also claiming victory in a statement after the debate. >> carley: that was not the only debate of the night. there was a debate in new york and michigan as well. >> two major debates taking place in the high profile good material elections. new york, governor kathy hochul and republican challenger lee zeldin squared off for the first time. the duo traded jabs about crime with hochul appearing to down place between five's desire to lock up criminals. >> we are going to be able to go through the entire crime conversation of this debate and we are still waiting for kathy hochul to actually locking up criminals. >> everyone who commits a crime with the changes we made to bail has consequences. i don't know why that's so important to you. all i know is that we can do more. >> taking the debate to governor hochul regarding the covid get vaccines as he confronted her to forcing new yorkers to get vaccinated and doubling down on her mandate

for health care employees. >> i believe that mandate is wrong and everybody fired should offer their jobs back with back pay. >> you and donald trump where the masterful covid deniers. we are dealing with a real crisis and more people who get vaccinated and get shots in arms, i do it all once again what i did, that mandate for health care workers. >> governor what gretchen wittner and challenger to dixon also facing off last night. boasting about children out of michigan for three month because of the pandemic. >> i worked closely with my republican and democrat governors, the kids were out for three months. >> maybe she can think she can convince you that schools are only close for three months but we know better because your students are the ones were distantly behind. the test scores show she's being dishonest about this page is being dishonest about getting into these schools to get these schools back on track. >> also accusing governor whitmer of giving hundreds of millions of taxpayer

dollars to china. >> you should be careful where all of your dimes go if gretchen whitmer is in charge because you just offered $715 million of your taxpayer dollars to a chinese corporation to come to the state of michigan. battery plants going outside of michigan unless they are owned by the chinese and have strong ties to the chinese communist party. >> republican getting its closing the upsets. going back to pennsylvania, if john fetterman's goal was to alleviate concerns about his health, this debate was not it. this debate does more to damage the campaign then if he had not agreed to debate at all. i'm not even sure it was entirely just the auditory issues but didn't seem he had a real grasp on basis topics or he

was outside the main team. it's not just his health concerns. it also concerns that he is too extreme. on answers regarding fracking and allowing abortion up to 38 weeks, his record on crime, he didn't provide any clarity at all. and we are now two weeks until the midterms. your goal is to sway on sway undecided voters right now and i can't imagine there are many suede after that performance from fetterman last night. the one you took the dr. oz approach focusing on the issues but i'll take the john fetterman approach and address the elephant in the room for it not even most partisan democrat can spin that for john fetterman. if you can watch what happens last night on that debate stage and still decide that fetterman is going to get your vote, that's a sad reflection of the partisanship that we currently have in our country. at some point you need to put country over party when in a chamber where speech and debate is so vital like the senate, you cannot have an individual like john fetterman who can no longer

speak nor debate. look at the betting lines. big money being placed on dr. oz to win following the debate. again, that's just one indicator but it shows how vegas is thinking. i will go back to one other thing. it is said that people put fetterman in this position. i don't blame fetterman. i blame his handlers. i blame the democratic party in pennsylvania. this is cruel to do to another human being. it's clear why they are hiding his medical records, it's because of exactly just that. >> carley: didn't answer the question if he was going to release his medical records but he said that being transparent to him is showing up to this debate at all. i am sure there's a lot of people saying that we'd actually love to see a little more about where you stand from a health standpoint, just some reaction from the media, "axios"'s headline, it is "fetterman's painful debate," showing

"fetterman struggles after tv debate with oz." why the hell did fetterman agree to this question mike this will obviously raise more questions than answers about john's help, and senator pat toomey whe both running to replace said it's sad to see john fetterman struggling so much. you should take more time to allow him stuff to fully recover. >> todd: what's the impact on this? "the wall street journal" editorial board asks a very interesting question. is the fetterman-oz debate too late, half of the mail-in ballots have already been cast and returned, roughly 10% of the vote could already be cast for mr. fetterman or mr. oz before the public even has a chance to see them mix it up on tv. that's a very interesting point and if you hear a lot of the democrats or independentses who are noncommittal prior to yesterday, a lot of them said there is no way i could vote for john fetterman.

but what if they cast their ballots prior to the debate? they already locked in john fetterman. you can't go back and that has major invocations not just for the senate race but for our country. >> carley: the fracking moment alone was really bad for john fetterman pray that should be an automatic answer no matter what. he said he didn't support fracking and now he says that he does. the major stumbled from him at a time when there is oil and gas issues, there are issues with the economy. i thought it was not a he was able to answer really tell questions on the gun-control bill that passed. he was asked if he would support it and he said, you know, there are parts of it i really do like, but i'd improve other parts on abortion. i'd never support a federal ban on anything and said if i'm senator i'm not going anywhere. fetterman try to dig him that he is wealthy and out of touch and doctor's really needed that bite saying, you know what,

fetterman, so are you. you come from a very wealthy family. >> todd: you mentioned fracking fit let's bring in former keystone xl pipeline worker neil crapshoot you heard what fetterman said about supporting fracking >> i don't support fracking at all and i never had. i don't support fracking. i think it's something that has to eventually go away. >> todd: do you now trust, and the answer he gave at the debate last night? >> good morning, carley and todd. sounds to me the same playbook president biden used in his campaign depended on what state he was in physically and one state he was in mentally at the time when he was asked that question. i can remember president biden

specifically saying in that creepy slow whispering voice, i'm going to end oil and gas on day one. when you go to a state like pennsylvania, so important and you asked the same question. come on, man, i never said that. i think the people of pennsylvania are smarter than that. i have a lot of coworkers, friends in pennsylvania who depend on especially the natural gas industry and john fetterman said he wanted to be a congressman for everyone in pennsylvania for i wonder if he is going to go to bat for those men and women or play ball with the green liberals who want to destroy everything to do with oil and gas in that country they'll make this country. >> carley: we are getting into the colder weather months. started to ration heating oil before the winter season a lot of families are going to wonder if they are going to heat their homes knowing this you will

miles or one-third of the usual levels by inventory only containing 3.8 million barrels compared to the seasonal average of $10 million and now a group of new england democrats are calling on president biden to release from the northeast home, heated oil reserves. they write "putin and the pandemic has inflicted a severe energy supply disruption and with winter approaching it is critical that you quickly release oil from these reserves to help families stay warm this winter. what do you make of the strategy of releasing oil from our nations stockpiles to try to bring prices down? >> carley, since day one of biden's presidency, it seems her position is that oil and gas, the use of it and the need for it in this is declining which, that's not true. the oil and gas, the need for in this country is going up. they seem to have the attitude that if we can just lean on this

strategic petroleum reserve long enough that may be this time next year everybody will be driving electric vehicles and everybody will be running on solar power and we won't need oil and gas anymore. it will buy a little time for the administration but the bigger to oil markets is, hey, we are in trouble. administration is doing nothing to help production. this is what i call artif artifl production. a month from now we are going to be right back in the same position we are already in. >> todd: news flash, it is cold in your england literally every single winter. why did these democrats wait until two weeks until the midterms to come out and say, joe biden, you need to do something but where were they january 2021 when he put this horrible energy policy in motion and cause you to lose your job. neil crabtree, we appreciate it. city workers exposing the mayor

of ann arbor, michigan, for installing a new gas line and fireplace in his home while pushing the phase out fossil fuels and boost electrification. democratic mayor crisper taylor has been a strong proponent of climate policies supporting a $1 billion plan to force michiganders to cut off natural gas compliance and by michael if you vehicles. hosting taylor for a roundtable discussion on energy reform earlier this month. his office is not yet responded to fox's request. >> inflation continues to soar. the address comes as consumer confidence falls to a third, a three month low with christmas less than two months away. the later consumer confidence concerns and inflation which dropped picking up again, those concerns being driven to unprecedented gas and food prices. a whopping 55% of americans say they are behind on their

retirement savings. a new survey finding just 35% believe they are on track or a head. when asked why they couldn't save more, more than half blamed, of course, inflation impacts. new york city's vaccine mandate ruled unconstitutional and fired workers are supposed to get their jobs back. but their fight is far from over because new york city still won't back down. >> todd: did you hear the latest hot take from one hillary rodham clinton? >> right wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election. >> todd: while the rest of the country focuses on the midterms, will tell you why hillary is already making excuses about 2024. don't go anywhere. very big show.

ruling and targets for assassination because it gave people a rational reason to prevent that from happening by killing one of us. >> carley: protests broke out after the opinion week. highlight after protester was charged for threatening to kill >> todd: capturing a mcdonald's meltdown in georgia. an unruly customer unhappy with his order. sticks his body through the window and begins chucking anything in sight at the workers. picks up several trash cans, hurling them at an employee pay the suspect became even more violent but took off before authorities arrived. police still searching for that suspect. wow. grandfather getting emotional describing what it was like to be shoved onto subway tracks in

new york city. 62-year-old ronald baptiste is begging mayor eric adams to do more to combat crime telling "the new york post" "everybody is talking the talk but not walking the walk and it's getting more and more dangerous for innocent people trying to get to and from where they have to go. i paid $2.75 so a guy bash me in the head and i want to walk in the subway system and feel safe. don't we all? baptiste believes riders will never be safe and less more police are patrolling there and the homeless are removed from the transit system. >> carley: a staten island the city says the requirement will remain in effect. the state supreme court judge riding "we shouldn't be penalizing the people who showed upup to work at grace risk to themselves while locked down" bid 16 terminated filed a suit

tens and thousands of migrants who just had their cases tossed out of immigration court and it's all because of a state department error, going to be outraged when we tell you what happens. >> todd: three explosive debates be taking a look at last night's fiery debates in pennsylvania, new york, michigan, with voters from each state joining us live after the break.

>> carley: early voting skyrocketing across the country with more than 7 million ballots cast already. georgia accounting for nearly as seven of those. despite democrats calling its new voting rate laws racist. kevin corke has the details from

washington. kevin, what happened? >> so much for that. obviously the electorate is energized. that is despite fears of obstacles and voter suppression be i think a find this really fascinating for over 7 million votes cast so far. for those of you keeping score at home, inquiring minds want to know. how is that voter suppression jim crow 2.0 working out for y you? that's what democrats in georgia and white house officials in particular said they were worried about. >> i'm not going to get into specifics about what georgia voters are doing. what i am saying is that generally speaking, or more broadly speaking, high turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time. >> [chuckling] there is already been nearly a million votes cast.

586-957. that is obviously news to millions of americans and yet here's one of joe biden's infamous predictions about the state's new voting rules. remember this? >> it's the most pernicious thing... this makes jim crow looks like jim eagle. this is jim crow on steroids, what they are doing in georgia and 40 other states. jim crow 2.0 is about to go insidious things, voter suppression and election subversion. >> is a voter suppression to ask for simple things like an idea, really? why are democrats talking like this? both then and now? critics argue it's to keep voting rules nice and loose, which they believe plays to the democrats' advantage bear that comes to a cost. >> everything they are doing and

saying here unfortunately has a really negative effect on our democracy. essential to the survival of our democracy is that we the people as voters have faith in the integrity of these elections. those in a position of power in both parties have a responsibility to vet those concerns and to increase peoples' trust in the system. >> that's not what's happening so much right now especially if you just heard secretary clinton say what she said and others have said similar things too. left and right having an issue with how things are going. speaking of left and right as you take a look at the fox news power rankings, the g.o.p. still with a bit of an edge over in the senate. although we expect it'd be a runoff between misters warnock and walker, that could be the pivotal race there. as for the g.o.p. advantage in the house, pretty solid, the numbers showing a pretty clear advantage as we look ahead.

by the way, don't forget to keep track of the money, guys, as we head down the home stretch. that's a good metric about how the parties feel about the viability's of certain campaigns as something we'll be watching carefully from here. back to you. >> carley: kevin corke, thank you so much. bret baier breaking down the key races to watch. here he is. >> republicans all making gains in our fox news power rankings for control of the house tonight. in the senate, pennsylvania, nevada, georgia are the toss-up settle determine control p republicans are poised to become pennsylvania, georgia, and nevada. democrats, current polling, would pick up arizona. that would still be a republican controlled 52-48. on the house, the situation looks a little bit more bleak for democrats. our power rankings forecast, 16 seat majority. that's one more for the g.o.p. since we had our last

prognostication last week. >> playing out across the country in pennsylvania, new york, and in michigan. >> i do support fracking. i don't... i support fracking and i stand -- i do support fracking. >> john fetterman during this crime wave has been getting many murderers convicted and sentenced to life in prison out of jails possible. >> still haven't talked about anyone locking up any crime. >> anybody who commits a crime especially with the change we made to bail has consequences. >> i'm pretty sure i just heard an audible gasp around town when gretchen whitmer said kids were out of town for three months. we had schools that were closed this year. >> i see politicians try to wedge immunities once another. it is dangerous. do you think books are more dangerous than guns? >> mark

a michigan voter, all three join me now. let's go around the horn and get reaction to the debate in your state. mark, let's begin with you. >> hi, todd. i got to tell you, it was very difficult to watch. john fetterman clearly presented that he's not physically capable of serving in the u.s. senate. you know, i'm a registered independent. and generally these debates are not for the ideologues. they are for the people somewhere in the middle and really want to hear from the candidates. i do not know how anybody in their right mind who are in the middle, like me, could possibly vote for john fetterman. it was unbelievable. i feel sorry for him, that his campaign and his family put him in that position. it was just... it was really, really difficult to watch. >> todd: your entire answer

seems to be the main take away. over to you but what did you think of the new york debate? >> all she said was how bad trump was. she just talks about how trump and links up. how do you answer questions like that question but doesn't care about anything that goes on in the state. nothing. out-of-control prayed that guy before being pushed on the tracks. she wants to keep people out of jail and not use bail. why? what's wrong with bail? >> what did you think about the michigan debate? >> thanks so much for having me. this was the second debate this cycle. before the first debate, governor whitmer was sitting on a double-digit lead over tudor dixon. that has vanished in the race is a virtual dead heat because of what we saw last night. tudor dixon was the clear winner. she's speaking directly to the concern of the top of voters'

mine. inflation, economy, gas and grocery, parental rights. retching whitmer was largely defensive and i think that came across to the entire debate. she was pretty dismissive in some ways of tudor dixon and the question that a lot of voters have about her record. >> todd: whitmer really wanted to make this debate about abortion. is that what the men and women you associate with, your friends, neighbors, family, is that what they are talking about their number one issue two weeks before the election? >> largely aids inflation and the economy. that said, the democratic governors association and the gretchen whitmer campaign has spent about $25 million in advertisements and most of it is focused on abortion. the last question last night was proposal three which is the most radical extreme proposal facing voters anywhere in the country. it supported by gretchen whitmer. it'd create a completely unregulated unrestricted right

to abortion in michigan's competition and it goes much further than that and it would allow minors to begin puberty blocking drugs, gender reassignment, sterilization, and abortion all without parental consent. this is what bretton gretchen whitmerstands for. >> todd: "i don't know why that's so important to you" when talking about crime. huge error, sean, but huge admission that she truly does not appreciate what the people specifically of new york city but all throughout her state are going through when it comes to crime, right? >> she was a governor who wasn't elected because all she cares about is the big issues that people -- democrats think people care about and not the things table like safety and crime and taxes. it's insane. i don't understand it. >> todd: finally to you, i know people and i won't say who going into last night's debate

saying they were going to vote for john fetterman because they did not like doctor's. can you envision your friends and neighbors still making the decision after what we saw last night? >> i can imagine that. i guess the only way i can see this if somebody is so committed to political ideology that they are just going to make excuses for it and believe that he'll be fine by the time he is in office. i certainly couldn't do that. >> giving us a good view of what the people think, the ones who are going to make those decisions, we appreciate it. thank you. one pill could kill up or that's the warning police are sending about disguised as candy before halloween. >> our next guest is a corner and has a warning to all parents should hear.

to lobby for a cease-fire in ukraine. the about-face comes after intense backlash from fellow democrats, reporting

despite initially blaming its release on a staffer bit the councilman doing damage control explained in "the letter was drafted several months ago but unfortunately was released by staff without vetting. as chair i accept responsibility for this. every war ends with diplomacy and this one will to after a ukrainian victory" be it new data shows tens of thousands of migrants having their cases thrown out of court because the biden administration is in filing paperwork on time. >> carley: marianne rafferty joins us with more. >> todd: we are talking tens of thousands of cases thrown out because important documents were not filed on time and with massive surges at our southern border, border patrol agents are simply overwhelmed. when illegal crossers are apprehended, agents are authorized to use a scheduling system that sets a hearing date and generates a copy to give to the migrants called "a notice to appear." it can take several months to process those ntas leading to a

backlog which sometimes results in them getting lost in the system. eventually they get dismissed and that happened more than 63,000 times, more than 63,000 work with thrown out in 2022. according to a research professor on immigrant court cases, "if you schedule a hearing and it takes longer than three months to actually file that on the courts, the immigrant is going to show up in court and the judges and going to really have any record of the case, so essentially nothing can happen. so far there have been 2.3 million encounters with illegal migrants and 98 of them were on the terrorist watch list. with midterms less than two weeks away, republicans continue to hammer the republican administration on its lax border policy that invites illegal crossings. >> the difference is they intend incentivize it. there's a huge incentive to get in now while the getting is g

good. >> 862 migrants have died at our southern border. carly, todd? >> thank you so much. a grim warning before kids head out to trick-or-treat. authorities urging parents to check all halloween candy which could contain deadly fentanyl smuggled into the united states. yeah, county coroner jane curtis in washington state is one of those officials sounding the alarm and joins us now. good morning to you but we know that fentanyl is affecting your community and a big way so tell us what you are seeing. >> we are seeing just, what they are our counterfeit pills. we send them to be analyzed, they come back with fentanyl. any other drug that they are designed for, acetaminophen, melatonin. so they are basically, the fentanyl is made into... they are made by a press and

smuggled into the united states, i'm told, through the southern border, the same routes that traditional amphetamine and heroin has been coming into america. >> this is something that if you touch or breathe the dust of, it could kill you. especially if you are a little. are you worried about rainbow fentanyl getting into the hands of kids and what should parents know about this? >> absolutely. if they see anything that doesn't look legit i get rid of the whole bag of candy and notify your local law enforcement. if they do see any loose powder, don't touch it, try not to breathe it. it can get into your lungs and that way it'll get into your bloodstream and it can definitely cause horrific problems. >> carley: why make it look like candy or put it in candy boxes? is this a way for drug dealers to hide what they are doing or directly trying to market the stuff the kids? >> i don't know appeared i hope they are not trying to market to kids. making counterfeit pills is just

as evil. i believe they might be taking some of the... try to make it look not as deadly as it is to make it look like a rainbow powder, how could that hurt you? >> all of this coming is more than 14,000 pounds of fentanyl pills have just been the cds our southern border in 2022 alone. there is some good, good news in your county and you say that overdose deaths are down this year and that's because there's been a big push to educate people and parents that means these awareness campaigns do work. >> absolutely. a lot of the organizations have been working very hard to educate parents on what to expect, what to find, what to look for, signs and symptoms. somebody who's struggling with addiction or the use of fen

fentanyl. and so we've been going out talking to anybody who will have us, a big organization, wherever we can get into. the biggest thing is to inform the parents, there is a stigma that comes along with any kind of addiction. we need to get around that and have the tough conversations. >> carley: absolutely. it's number one cause of death amongst young people. no time like the present to get one of those awareness campaigns at a national level as well. thank you so much for the important warning. we appreciate you joining us this morning. take a look at this. homeless camps outfitted with washing machines. these are the same states that told taxpayers not to turn on the lights or the ac last summer. >> todd: john dennis is a republican running against nancy pelosi.

>> todd: hillary clinton looking past november 8th and making inflammatory remarks about 2024. listen. >> i know we're all focused on the 2022 midterm election and they are incredibly important, but we also have to look ahead,

right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election. >> todd: the failed democrat teaming up with crush the coup. it is an effort supporters say is meant to promote free and fair election. >> carley: and voters are wondering if to vote nancy pelosi for the 18th time. >> todd: will this be nancy pelosi's last dance? l.a. times talking to locals who say it may be time for nancy pelosi to go. chair of the republican party is challenging nancy pelosi this upcoming election and john joins us now. john, i was talking about hillary clinton, is this nancy pelosi's deplorables moment? >> well, it could be, i would hope so.

what you mentioned earlier was interesting, 18 terms. nancy pelosi has been around a long time, to give you an idea, the day i was born was the day she was married. >> todd: wow. >> i think and -- i mean, i think it is time for people to look a different direction and i think they are. >> carley: congratulations for you getting born and married on that day. you are running in deep blue san francisco, what sort of traction are you seeing right now? >> i'm seeing people frustrated, this city has been seen as the left bastion, left stronghold, but yet recalled district attorney, recalled school board members, deeply frustrating and facing economic challenges. we have lowest rate of return to office in the country of any large city, that will have

dramatic impacts on property taxes and the city's ability to run. this is really deeply frustrated city, we're starting to see movement in republican registration in san francisco and a move that really is clammering for a change in leadership from the school board up to the highest offices in the city. >> todd: john, what do san francisco democrats tell you about nancy pelosi? are they done with her? >> yeah, well, i mean, i think, you know, she's done so much for the city, i think what they are frustrated is money she is bringing in from wash ush wa, which she boasts about is subsidizing the problems we're seeing. she is throwing money at issues like homelessness and other issues, we see more homelessness and crime and all the things san francisco is famous for. nancy pelosi's efforts are making things worse and causing san francisco to suffer more, there is a feel it is time for

change. >> carley: nancy pelosi has been doing a lot of interviews and her message is abortion is the number one issue, dismissing concerns about inflation and when she talks about it, she says republicans will only make things worse when you look at polling. a lot of people, majority do dispute that and trust americans more when it comes to the economy. we have to leave it there, thank you for joining us, we appreciate you. >> my pleasure, thank you for having me. >> carley: next hour of "fox and friends first" starts right now. >> todd: john fetterman and dr. mehmet oz taking the debate stage for first and only time in what could be the deciding factor for voters in the important, vital, crucial pennsylvania senate race. you're watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus, latest real politi
