america, we have a country to save we had an incredible power with the hispanic community across this country. it don't marginalize at them an certainly don't characterize at them as one building after another. amazing. than >> todd: a fox news alert. house speaker nancy pelosi to rebrand the democratic party as the party of law and peace. i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. the hail mary comes as solid blue states like new york are seeing a shift to the right. eight innocent bystanders getting shot in new york city last month. eight others being shoved on the subway tracks. republican gwen osorio candidate lee zeldin has made law and

order the focus of his campaign and it has paid off adler strohmeyer is live. >> pelosi urging her fellow democrats to push but the respect for law enforcement as crime continues to remain a very tough concern for midterm vo voters. released a statement impart that as democrats who believe every american deserves to live in a safe community which is a necessary foundation upon which america's families can thrive thanks to their courage, resolve community of your members. the democratic house has honored our sacred oath to the american people to protect and defend. this comes as incumbent governor kathy hochul went head-to-head with republican challenger lee zeldin. zeldin calling out hochul turning her cheek on crime. >> she can't talk about all the other people who are targeted with more than just illegal guns. we should be going after the criminal committing crime after crime after crime with a legal

firearm. what about the person being pushed onto an oncoming subway car. how is the person getting stabbed right now, the person getting beaten to death on the street, the small business owner getting robbed. >> in 2022, 25 people have been pushed on the subway tracks and that's according to the nypd. that makes more subway shrubs this year than all of 2021 and we still have two months left to go in this year. eight innocent bystanders have been shot in just the past mo month. but hochul says she doesn't know why so people are worried about crime and statistically new york city is a save in america. >> anyone who commits a crime under our laws especially the change made to bail has consequences. i do not know why that's important to you. all i know is that we can do more. >> 16-year-old daughter shot in the head called out all of new york's leaders saying they are destroying families, something has to be done. call for more gun control, but what is it if you write on a piece of paper and that's it?

what are our governor, male politicians are doing makes me angry. the chairman says this. >> we have less, broadly speaking, numerically then we had covid be put in proportion, we are a city every day of 5 million people plus, even today, on mass transit we have 5-6 crimes. that's about the size of los angeles. there were a 5-6 major felonies in los angeles, we'd all be thrilled. >> according to the latest quinnipiac polls, zeldin is trailing hochul by four points. >> carley: greg gutfeld highlighting how bad hochul's debate performance really was. listen here. >> i don't see why putting criminals behind bars are so important to you. because, governor hochul, it's not important to you. the governor abandons as a bins concerns for the attention seeking woke garbage that her

staff handpicks off of twitter. and now she can't offer real help, just make help. otherwise she'd make crime fighting number one and save questions for people who are trying to vote. now they claim any attempt at law and order is systemic racism, answering only to activists instead of crime ravaged raped on our streets, why is that so important to you? >> todd: burying his head in his hands of the wisconsin jury finds him guilty related to last year's tragedy. some of those charges including 6 pounds of additional homicide from wisconsin's equivalent of murder, and 61 counts of reckless endangerment.

speak to kimberly, good morning to you. it took the judge about a half-hour yesterday to read all the guilty verdicts. what is your reaction to the outcome of this case? >> good morning. so i think a lot of us were able to maybe take a breath. it's validation. i think justice needs to happen, even more so with, you know, laws, stricter enforcement of our laws, our state statutes. i think susan apter needs to really stand on her word that she's going to convict criminals and uphold the laws. >> todd: will a verdict like this help your community heal or are the wounds still too fresh for that to happen now?

>> they are very fresh. i think we are able... it's a step forward. it is not a complete healing at all. we will have long-term, lifelong trauma and really a lifelong healing. >> carley: kimberly, it's been almost a year since this horrific attack took place. where were you and what did you see? >> i was with my nieces and my sister-in-law's and we were in front of subway like we always are and my daughter was at my feet. what i saw was that red suv going over a person. i didn't know at the time who it was. the front tires went and the back tires went. at that point i knew it wasn't an accident. i knew it was on purpose.

thank goodness my sister-in-law pulled my niece out of harm's way and we just saw a bumper and tires just within inches of us. and that plays over my head over and over again. and i didn't know, i was sequestered as a witness. i didn't know who it was. nobody exchanged information, i didn't stick around the find out if she was okay. she was waste away to safety. i was dealing with my own realization of what was going on and i finally found out that her name is nicole and she is alive. >> todd: it goes without saying that crime is going to play a huge role across the

nation but specifically across your state. senate candidate has this narrative on crime. watch this. >> we knew the other side of make up lies for me to scare you but they are claiming on a defund the police and abolish i.c.e. that is alive. >> that's what the commercial says but barnes has a long history of supporting defund a police, taking funds away from law enforcement, even posing with a shirt calling to abolish i.c.e., literally the exact opposite of what he said in that commercial. is the average wisconsin voters seeing through this last-minute deflection? >> i do believe so. i think in our city, we need safety. we are hesitant to go out. we just had a carjacking in our city just on our main street on

sunset drive. and, you know, it was for african american teenagers who are not adults that had guns and they, you know, they tried to carjack. our police department came full force, it took several hours, the whole nine yards and... the crime needs to be taken care of. we need to be safe. >> carley: it's a basic fund mental right in the number one goal of every government should be to keep their citizens safe. kimberly, the waukesha parade attack was really the first major crime that took place that woke people up to the fact that repeat offenders are being led out on the street and it also really proved that otherwise safe communities can have these really violent and horrific attacks take place.

what do you think it'll take to make streets safer? >> i think we need to look at root causes. if derek brooks had been kept in jail for those few cases that were handled in milwaukee and not released out and days before he drove his truck through, maybe this wouldn't have happened. if we had really dealt with and dealt properly with domestic violence, if we really had supported erica patterson, if we really had supported and kept her safe, maybe this wouldn't have happened. >> todd: real clear politics have ron johnson only had a mandala barnes by three points. we'll see what happens as the next 12 days of this race continue. we thank you for your time in sharing your extremely difficult story of that horrific day in

waukesha. we appreciate you sharing it with our viewers. a 7-year-old in critical condition after being struck by a stray bullet inside of home the shooter still on the loose after another weekend of terror in the windy city left more than 15 victims including nine teenagers shot. chicago mayor lori lightfoot things it's time for a pay bump. doing so great she needs a raise. proposing an ordinance for a 5% inflation raise which would boost her salary by seven grand, giving her a total of $216,000 a year for the amazing job she's doing as mayor of chicago. in another democrat mayor city a group of republicans leading the charge to impeach philadelphia d.a. larry krasner. house of representatives say the twice like a prosecutor it needs the acts as a city of brotherly love sees record level of violent climb.

>> carley: first on fox, house committee members have evidenced hunter biden's business member and close personal associate was employed by the chinese communist party before the biden family. >> todd: brooke singman has more. >> carley: republicans are demanding answers from the fbi about hunter biden's chinese secretary pitt republican house oversight committee ranking member james gomer sending a letter to the fbi claiming that committee has documents that prove hunter biden's business secretary jackie bao has ties to

the chinese party. writing to the fbi "after infiltrating the biden family, bao encouraged biden to run for president months before he announced supplied campaign advice related to china." and from a leaked email in 2018 she says, "uncle joe should run for president in 2020." this as g.o.p. senators chuck grassley and ron johnson release over 200 documents and banking records from their own investigation in the biden's foreign business affairs, the senators calling out lead attorney david weiss for sitting light of your and the doj's failure to respond to our legitimate oversight requests and as part of our ongoing investigation, we are transmitting to you over 200

pages of records relating to the biden's connections to the chinese regime" or even jon stewart jon stewart slamming hunter's dealings. watch. >> look, hunter biden being on the board of -- >> burisma. >> that's corruption straight off the bat. >> received a letter from republican lawmakers but did not have further comment. >> thank you for that. >> carley: may take some time to digest. jackie ball is a new name and here's what we know about jackie bao is a new name and here's what we know about her. received a degree from singtel arecruiting hub for china intelligence service. that is why she went on to work for the chinese communist party. she worked for the chinese

government before meeting and working for hunter biden and ended up in james comer's letter to christopher wray because he is looking at all this going, what the heck is going on here? says after infiltrating the biden family, bao urged to run for president moments before he announced and to supply the biden family related to china. why would the woman who went to chinese spies school would want joe biden to run for president, why is joe biden still denying he knows anything about hunter's foreign business dealings? that's what a lot of republicans want to find out. >> todd: this is totally a joe biden story at this point. this is well beyond hunter. we know hunter factually has done real shady things. the question is how does it connect to joe, the pieces of the puzzle are being put together. carley, one of the bigger issues is the lack of intellectual curiosity, or so it appears on our intel community.

any time the "connections to the chinese regime" comes up, investigators should be chomping at the bit to get their hands on that material. why are they not doing so? this is the most mike drop line from senators grassley and john. you should already possess these records. one in investigator worth their salt would not want these documents. anybody would. it's insane they didn't in this case. >> here's the other thing talked about a lot is that hunter was negotiating a deal with a chinese company to get the chinese company to purchase american natural gas. china was trying to get their foot in the door in the american energy market. keep in mind our number one adversary trying to replace us as a number one superpower, the son of the presidents of the united states was essentially working, making money through this chinese company cfc to get

them to have a greater stranglehold over one of our natural resources. take jackie and all this new stuff out of the equation, that something that should be very much looked into as well. >> todd: if you are an american watching this at home, if you are trying to heat your home and you hear that, you should be absolutely incensed regardless of what party you are in. i think the big picture take away from all of this is, the people of the doj, the people in our justice department, the fbi at the top are the brightest of the brightest. they know how to do their jobs better than anybody. they are all ib lead to greed law school under grand. this isn't for a failure of aptitude. this is for failure of desire. goes to the notion leading clearance that the doj, the upper intel's are running interference for joseph robinette biden and that shouldn't happen.

>> carley: the company that hunter was working with, his name is patrick, he to him as his client and the "bleeping spy chief of china." when you get paid and diamonds, usually it's not totally aboveboard. we have a potential gun charge, tax charges coming down the line according to reporting. nothing compared to this. >> todd: today is pay bay fox. do you think... you've got to talk to hr. something is up with your paycheck situation. >> carley: getting a slap on the wrist for violating the hatch act, retweeted a post encouraging users to buy democrat delivered t-shirts. created to limit certain activities of employees such as endorsing political

contributions that she flew overseas but it will not be pursuing but instead -- >> todd: banks turnover 13 billions of dollars of cash ahead of tomorrow's deadline it seems like twitter employees get a preview of what's to come as musk arrived to the office carrying a sink. >> carley: i don't get the sink. >> todd: the billionaire later tweeting, let that sink in. he also changed his tweeter down like description to "chief twit." including an address to staff tomorrow but i actually have a bone to pick with this. if the number one bar to being multi-a multibillionaire was making dad jokes, i would be the richest person in america. >> carley: i cannot dispute that. the sink thing, it's smart people humor. >> todd: let's not go that f far. congressional candidate zach

nunn wants to secure the border, bringing crimes and drugs in the country. >> carley: invited to respond to that statement. he is here next.

>> todd: texas republican congressional congregants lasting democrats for the way they approach latino voters. >> biden coming here saying we are unique as a breakfast taco or we are latin next. >> they are no longer standing with god or family. >> we are going to see a huge shift of democrats continuing to lead the democrat party and permanently come to the republican party. >> todd: one of those candidates cassie garcia running against henry cuellar in texas' 28th in the arsenal district.

taking the michelle mayo in the states 15 district, favored to flip historically blue district near the southern border. and holding the last seat commission won earlier this y year. also speaking out about being rejected from the congressional hispanic caucus despite being a trailblazer for mexican-american women. she says, of course, it's because she's conservative. >> june 14th i became the first mexican born congress woman ever elected in congress and then it's not good enough for them. this just shows that they are not for the hispanic community. they are just there for their political party. >> t we are the real voice. >> the democrat congress caucus is shared by rural rubies, aoc, henry cuellar, and nevada

senator >> carley: president biden the border crisis a top issue even in iowa where things are heating up in the battle for the state in a positive congressional district. cindy asked me taking aim at her g.o.p. opponent on border security saying "this is what zach nunn said. he's working to secure the border to stop the flow of illegal immigrants bringing crime and drugs into our country but we cannot have people like that in the highest levels of government in the country who automatically believe that folks who are from another place are criminals. that is absolutely racist and wrong. that i will congressional candidate lieutenant colonel zach nunn joins me now. lieutenant colonel, good morning to you. you want border security and your opponent is calling you racist and wrong. what's your reaction to that? >> right, carley. we are facing a national security and humanitarian crisis

in our southern border and it's made every county in america including folks in my home state of iowa -- our opponent has been much to protect the southern border, the biden administration seems to turn a blind eye to this and the reality now is they are calling folks racist because they do not have a plan on how they are going to secure it. we talked the customs and border patrol, my dell met one of the most diverse agencies in the federal government today but law enforcement, they don't have a plan to fight crime? there must be racist. first-generation americans fighting for their families and holding migration the right way, they are clearly racist. communities like mine have seen illegal drugs primarily kills more americans ages 18 then anyone else in the country. if we try to stop it, we must be racist because we don't leave

and the democrats by austria's plan how to get this on the border. >> carley: says you are trying to divide people based on the color of their skin question mike i wonder how she'd explain all the hispanic americans living along the southern border pleading with the biden administration to stop the flow of illegal immigration because it's not about race, it's about all these economic and safety concerns that they are facing. are you going to be able to talk to your opponent or debate her and try to figure out where she is coming from here? >> carley, you're absolutely right. she bemoaned the idea that you sent 50 migrants to martha's veneered but we thought about the 50 migrants who died in the back of a tractor trailer bound for places like iowa where the democrats had nothing to say to be able to support these individuals. there are a lot of good people who want to come to our country. we should help find them a pathway. congress has done zero within immigration plan.

we had plans as a volunteer to help evacuate afghan soldiers, this is after biden and my opponent pulled out of that country leaving americans behind and we rescued them. we have a long history of being successful on this. >> carley: has your race as l >> thanks so much for having us. appreciate it. >> carley: we also what happened in virginia when governor glenn youngkin took on the teachers union. some of those are pouring millions and democrat campaigns to prevent a repeat in the midterms. >> todd: we all follow the for you next.

>> carley: president biden will head to upstate new york to tell his economic agenda and is $100 billion chick manufacturing plant. >> todd: he's hot on the trail, polling for vulnerable democrats getting millions from teachers unions. kevin corke live, not virtually, in person. >> carley: in person live and living color. education as you know is a pretty huge story line this

election cycle and it's where a lot of the important voting blocs really make an impact on the races. in particular we have what suburban moms are thinking. they will make their shifting support towards republicans is why reliably liberal teachers unions are pouring a lot of money into the race to buoy the left. how much money, you ask? we are talking about a massive war chest and spending to be sure. but lawmakers say parents are leaving the democrats in droves because of their party's support for woke ideology in school, trans education for elementary school aged kids, and critical race theory. >> i will sign a parental bill of rights but we'll put parents in charge for educations in their sons and daughters, takes those tuition dollars to the school they want to go to.

>> it worked in virginia, it may work in wisconsin. meantime joe biden was out in the campaign trail sort of as todd mentioned, virtually campaigning for a pair of democrats that could use the help. but the main focus for the white house on the trail and counterintuitively is now finally the economy. it's not so good out there but they've got to talk about what they are trying to do and in the crisis they are trying to convince americans to not believe there lying eyes and empty wallets. >> the united states is in a stronger position than any other country in the world. jobs are up. people are back to work. american manufacturers are coming back. i'm going to be heading up to syracuse, new york, the area, going to be investing $100 billion. the day after tomorrow. as a matter of fact, its

computer chips. we'll put tens and thousands of americans to work. >> that indeed is going to be good news for folks in that particular part of the country up in the vote tallies just keep on rising. have you seen the latest vote totals? this from the ap, more than 11 million people already having voted but the question remains, if they can count votes this fast, what takes them so long on election night? inquiring minds want to know. >> that's a really good question but what is happening here? >> todd: none of those votes are in georgia because you are not allowed to vote if you have any qualifications -- no, that's exactly! jim crow 2.0 is a lie. thank you very much. inflation hitting halloween be a resident who creates a thrilling haunted graveyard every october's says his display accosted him a lot more this

year. the creator of "contoured graveyard arizona" joins me now. i like the outfit -- >> how are you doing? >> todd: i like the production you've got going on behind you. how much does it typically cost you prior to 2022? >> every year admittedly i have a budget of about 4,000, 4,000, $5,000 to expand the project every single year. because of would cost or product cost, we were literally looking at about an 8,000 plus, it's almost doubled what we were originally spending what we do here. made it a little tough. you have to think out of the box to do the creation. >> todd: you mention some of your essentials have gone up. one in particular, one we haven't talked about while discussing infor inflation. fog fluid.

the stuff that makes it spooky. how much are you shelling out on fog fluid? >> maybe 17 or $18 for this year it's $39.95. by the time you shoot $45 for five evenings, it becomes extremely insane and cost, before you know what you almost have to get the second mortgage on your house to produce following four people. >> just to do the math, 40 plus 40, you are shelling out $1600 and that's a lot. you raise an interesting point. you do this because you love to. nobody needs this display to survive. doing it because you want to bring joy to people. but people do need food to survive, they do need shelter and clothes to survive. how can the average american get by right now when prices are so darn high.

>> it interesting. it's what equity is the only thing i can think to survive because nowadays everything is so high for food and for would come over anything that would have to be with creation, i can imagine even with the shortages, the chips, all the different things that are going on, where would that go from here? i think for people to pay attention, to may be help people out in the future years to come, that'll be very important. >> todd: how many people do you get by in total halloween? >> total in five nights, a little over 20,000 deaths that we've seen come through prayer we have 31 actors this year, they are all volunteers and everybody is all pumped because tonight is our opening night here for actors' night before we had no actors for the first two nights for, like, a

family-friendly experience. but now it is all gloves off and it is going to be a little scary over here at the haunted graveyard. >> and it's free to the public but not many things you can get for free in this day and age. thanks for doing this for the fine folks of arizona. anybody else who makes their way there, puts a smile on people's faces. thank you. carley? >> carley: washington high school football coach fired for saying a postgame prayer is now ordered to be reinstated. that according to court documents filed this week. you know the story. his name is joe kennedy. after being put on leave after 2015. he joined fox and friends weekend over the summer to explain why he was fighting for the right to pray. >> something so simple as taking a knee for 15 seconds after a football game has made this much noise and all the way to the

supreme court. seems weird to me. >> court documents order kennedy to be reinstated by march of next year for interfering with kennedy's postgame prayer. it was a case that went on for years. a happy ending for coach kennedy. >> this is going to be the most-watched football program in the country. >> carley: remember those peaceful protests in the summer of 2020 question mike the mainstream media worked really hard to convince you they weren't riots. >> it is not generally speaking unruly. but fires have been started. >> todd: you think that's gaslighting? "newsweek" outdid all of that. talking about their antifa "fact-check" with joe concha.

chris and a rancher who lives two miles from the southern border. good morning to you all. john, your ranch is being affected by this illegal immigration situation in a pretty unbelievable way. tell us what you are facing right now. >> we're catching about 100 per day with the 34% apprehension rate and it's 24 hours a day. biden's administration detailed two-thirds of border patrol agents to other areas to process people giving up in yuma, arizona. we don't have enough manpower in our area to have a slight chance of controlling what is coming across the border. >> carley: you say agents, 100 per day crossed your property and you have found dead bodies on your property, as well.

>> we're up to 16 now, we've had two in the last several months, that is just what i know about. talking about humanitarian type things, biden is killing these people letting them come across the border like this. >> carley: yeah, you're right, it is the deadliest year at our border, 856 migrants have died this year. 16 on just your ranch. sheriff donahu, you are 2000 miles from the border and your county is being affected by fentanyl, tell us what is going on in your neck of the woods. >> thank you, we have never seen this amount of this type of drug or this powerful of a drug, it is unprecedented and affecting everyone. everyone is on edge, law enforcement and the community,
