7:00 am
and student loan forgiveness versus entrepreneurs who are latino voters who started their businesses and didn't go to college and on the hook to pay for the student loan forgiveness. it's a sticky wicket. >> bill: a tough one to swallow. a lot of different crosscurrents. >> dana: crosscurrents in your brain. >> bill: i would suggest that is true. we played this clip. check it out. watch. >> dana: exclusive video of a tense police chase along the southern border as human smugglers put thousands of lives at risk on a daily basis. i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. you have anyone who lives within 50 miles of the border could end up getting hurt. officials are saying the danger is getting worse by the day. >> arizona and a sheriff you see
7:01 am
how the border crisis not only affects texas but impacts the entire country. essentially every state is a border state. we're seeing record number of immigrants coming across that border. record number of deaths from immigrants not only crossing the river but being smuggled and being killed during the high speed chases and also in different situations like we saw in san antonio, where we lost 53 immigrants smug nulled a -- smuggled in a trailer. >> migrants continue being smuggled into the country in staggering numbers and dangerous ways. for the migrants themselves as well as the people in these texas border communities. a group of 300 migrants just crossed the border into eagle pass. right before the sun rose this morning a group of 300, mostly single adult men from cuba. something we have seen every
7:02 am
single day this morning. in fact, we're seeing two groups per day, which is the case again today. i want to show you the video you just teased with. an exclusive video from a police department. 15 migrants leading officers on a police chase with a stolen bucket truck. you will see they go off the road right here. eventually they'll come to a stop and you will see four migrants jump out and get away. the officers get out of their cruisers, draw their weapons and able to apprehend 11 of the 15 migrants. the driver, one of the people who got away in this case. but a lot of these migrants, bill, are crammed in places with very little, if any airflow and it is very dangerous. you see a spot here where some migrants were hiding. this happens all the time. there is a police chase per day. this video from the police department shows officers finding two migrants with very little oxygen to breathe.
7:03 am
listen to this. >> it had two undocumented citizens crammed inside and that was their source of air, that little hole right there. >> over in the tucson sector, bill, agents arrested this registered sex offender who was convicted of felony criminal sexual conduct last year in minnesota, a year later already trying to get back into the country illegally. back live in eagle pass if we can pull up the fox news drone team 17 miles from where i am in normandy texas there is another large group that just crossed, many from cuba as well as columbia which makes 500 migrants so far that crossed the border illegally this morning in eagle pass and surrounding area. send it back to you. >> bill: just another day live at the border in eagle pass. >> dana: a race to the finish in six states. governor's races in arizona,
7:04 am
kansas, new mexico, wisconsin are all rated toss-ups in the fox news power rankings for the potential for upsets in new york and oklahoma and elsewhere. josh kraushaar senior political correspondents for axios. looking across the board you now have democrats who are in safe seats and we haven't heard of them and they're calling in an s.o.s. asking the dccc to send money and biden to send money. all of a sudden they are in trouble, josh? >> yeah, dana. we're seeing the possibility of a historic republican tsunami based on some of the spending patterns, polling we're looking at in the battleground dis districts. they are facing the fight of his political life, maloney in the hudson valley and also learning today that republicans are now putting some money in
7:05 am
congressional districts that joe biden won by 20 points. that's double digits but deeper into bluer territory. these are districts in new york, california, some of the bluest states on the political map. the republicans are looking at numbers and the latest data and think it could be a very historic mid-term election. >> bill: sometimes you wonder if you peak too soon. we don't know just yet. i think it's very interesting to watch the movements really on a 24-hour basis. talk about some governor races now on the board michigan, whitmer and dixon. minn minnesota waltz and jenson. in the southwest you have gri grisham going at it in new mexico. do you see one of the races as telling a national story or a
7:06 am
common thread that runs through each one? >> i would focus on the new york governor's race just because president biden will be in syracuse this afternoon with governor hochul. an official trip but trying to shore up hochul's support from the democratic face. the fact that we're even talking about it as potentially competitive is a sea change from recent years. one common thread, bill, in those races you mentioned, crime. in the governor's races crime is a top issue in many of those states. i'm thinking oregon, new mexico, certainly new york. there is a worry in races where democratic governors haven't been able to take a pro-active stance on rising crime rates, rising murders in their home states and where it feels like democrats aren't addressing the big problem that many voters are facing. that is going to be a challenge. it is making the blue states
7:07 am
very competitive down the final homestretch. >> dana: i want to ask for call for ten from karl rove's piece in the "wall street journal" this morning. biden's losing mid-term message for. in past mid-terms it's been at the party out of the white house. it's possible for the in-power party to reduce the damage but little in biden's closing message to lead swing voters to vote democrat. what i think is interesting are some of the inside be signed the scenes stories saying the democrats are deciding what the economic message will be and we are 12 days away. >> so president biden spent much of last week talking about abortion and a lot of democrats i talked to in the last week are concerned that the party spent so much time talking about abortion that they didn't address the many voter concerns about inflation and the state of the economy. it is really interesting there was a new usa today poll out today asking voters which issue do you care about more,
7:08 am
inflation or abortion? and inflation won 56 to 40%. pretty sizeable 16-point difference there. that's why biden will be talking about the economy and trying to attack republicans on their position on entitlements today. we're less than two weeks away from the election. a lot of democrats wish this was the message the democrats were focused on the economy a lot more than two weeks before election day. >> dana: i have a little bit of news with the gdp number today showing growth and they will maybe make hay out of that. >> bill: thank you, josh. in the meantime dan henninger is writing about the pennsylvania fallout from the big debate. you were hot on this, too. talking about early votes that came in and whether or not the early voting started too early, right? he says fetterman the mid-term's october surprise. one thing the debate made
7:09 am
starkly clear is the awful consequences of super early voting laws. more than half a million people in pennsylvania voted already. second thoughts? forget it. you can't take it back. pennsylvania law states that you can start early voting 50 days before election. >> dana: it doesn't make any sense. a lot of these states are looking at their rules and their laws in their state about voting. if you are concerned about democracy and you want people to pay more attention, perhaps you shouldn't have early voting until the first debate. not all the debates are finished but until the first debate and then let people decide. >> bill: oz was trying to make this happen a lot sooner. >> dana: now democrats wish fetterman hadn't debated at all. >> bill: last october garland ordered the f.b.i. and d.o.j. to investigate allegation and intimidation of school board members after the national school board association sent a letter to the white house
7:10 am
comparing angry parents to domestic terrorists. where are things a year later? we have the follow-up from david spunt. >> the one-page memo signed and released by attorney general merrick garland last october. while it doesn't include the word parents on this one-page document many parents across the country believe it spelled politics. we remember these scenes for much of 2021. angry parents frustrated at school board meetings across the country, fed up with covid restrictions and curriculum mandates like critical race theory and they expressed themselves. the national school boards association sent the president a letter in late september 2021 arguing some parents' actions at the meetings should be considered a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes. the group later apologized. biden administration officials say the memo foixed only on violence and threats of violence and say it was designed to facilitate communication between federal and local law
7:11 am
enforcement. a year later republicans still aren't convinced. >> i'm very frustrated by the lack of transparency from the attorney general and i demanded details how this memo was drafted a year ago. we still don't have answers yet. merrick garland has been hiding behind congressional democrats who refuse to conduct rigorous oversight. >> garland and his team said this memo had nothing to do with free speech. listen. >> parents can object to their school boards about curriculum, the treatment of their children, about school policies. we are only trying to prevent violence against school officials. >> last month a federal judge threw out a lawsuit from parents in michigan and virginia suing garland over this memo. the judge, the trump appointee said the policy does not label anyone a domestic terrorist as the plaintiffs suggest. >> bill: i smell a hearing.
7:12 am
david spunt, thanks. >> dana: fox news alert on the cheating scandal that rocked the world of professional fishing. watch. remember that? tyrus was hear talking bit. the two suspects are facing charges and how three pleading might surprise you. >> bill: the big apple not able to get violent crime under control. stray bullets hitting eight innocent bystanders in a single month. how can new yorkers feel safe again? we have ideas coming up. >> many of us travel and work and go to school in the city and it puts people in fear. there is no one to blame but the far left democrats.

>> bill: two men accused of cheating in a fishing tournament pleading not guilty despite video evidence that went viral and looked like this. [bleep] >> bill: the anglers are accused of stuffing the fish with lead weights to claim a prize of nearly $25,000. they are charged with grand theft.
7:19 am
see how it goes. that gun has nothing to do with it, i didn't shoot them. >> dana: talk about a fish tale. crazy one. >> bill: they are not guilty, they say. >> dana: one of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation is on the ballot in oregon. it would force residents to get a permit to purchase and pass a live fire training class before the sale even goes through. dan springer is live in seattle and has the details. this is on the ballot, dan? >> oregon's measure 114 will be watched closely election night. many feel if approved by voters it would be one of the most restrictive gun measures in the country. most controversial aspect is a requirement that before you can purchase a gun, you have to have a permit. to get that permit, you have to do live fire training approved by law enforcement. the oregon state sheriffs association opposes the measure saying there is no way police agencies from the personnel or
7:20 am
even the gun ranges to permit every person who wants to buy a firearm. this would delay law-abiding sit stens for months and perhaps years and create a gun registry with buyers personal information made public. >> the measure is designed to guarantee that people will not have the means to protect themselves and to docks anybody who attempts to comply with the permit process. >> the measure caps magazines at ten rounds and makes gun owners with guns being able to do more -- party leaders didn't endorse it because it would lead to mass incarceration of racial minorities. black and brown people are often the victim of gun violence and it will save lives. portland is in the middle of a two-year murder wave. the city set a record for homicides last year and on pace to break it this year. there have been 1,000 shootings
7:21 am
in the first nine months of the year. >> this is about oregon, regular people coming together. a grassroots effort. people rising up saying we're tired of all of our neighbors getting shot and killed. >> 14 states already have permit to purchase laws but none require the live fire training that would put all gun buyers at the mercy of law enforcement and their staffing. >> dana: there would be opposition to that you could say, dan. thank you so much. we appreciate it. america's crime crisis spiraling out of control in new york city. stray bullets hitting eight bystanders in a single month. the post headline targets on our backs. here to talk about it is a former nypd inspector. you get a good newsletter from him and on target about crime. so let's first talk about these just in a month eight people have been hit by stray bullets flying all around. >> it looks bad.
7:22 am
one of the things that we are going to have to face up to is that i saw the debates and kathy hochul is just intent upon talking about things like restricting access to legal guns and also talking about ak-47s like they are the problem. here is the new flash. america doesn't have a long gun problem. we have a problem with illegal handguns and that's what this is. and until our adults in the room are willing to recognize that that's the problem there will be no way to solve it. so the takeaway in the debate was clearly she was signaling i'm not touching that issue. she literally said it. she said to zeldin, i don't know why this is so important to you. she is telling mer base i'm not going to touch that aspect of things. were she to do so she would run counter to the defund policies and the bail reform policies that are coming out of albany. >> bill: wow.
7:23 am
you think if zeldin were the governor he would change this? >> i do. interestingly he has said a couple of things that have a lot in them. for instance he will fire alvin bragg, manhattan d.a. first day. he can do that, okay? he has also said he is going to declare a crime state of emergency which allows him to put in policies that get him around the legislature, who is the impediment here. it's why it's significant. there would be opposition and legal challenges to that. it will be tough for the left to do that. those are the same powers that governor cuomo used during covid. it will be tough to argue that's invalid. he will access the same emergency powers to undo a lot of the stuff that's ruining our town. >> dana: i don't know how it sits with you. pelosi and the democrats are worried looking like they'll take a lot of losses and crime is on the ballot. she wrote this. as democrats we believe every american deserves to live in a
7:24 am
safe community, a necessary foundation upon where families can thrive. respect for those who serve and who they serve with accountability and transparency. she is trying to talk to the defund the police movement and saying we respect cops but that hasn't been -- >> anybody who lived through the summer of 2020 knows where the energy is on that side of the fence. here in new york we have an interesting circumstance. they call them a group of five. a group of moderate democrats on the state level who get this situation and are potential ice in changing things. we don't have to take the entire legislature. i would argue that's the model they should look at federally. the aoc wing has supremacy at the federal level for so long that two weeks before the mid-terms to try to pull the u-turn will be a little much. >> bill: an excellent piece in the "wall street journal" today.
7:25 am
bill barr talks about the prison population, policies going back 3 or 4 decades and gives an interesting recap. the headline is rising crime rates are a policy choice, all right? call for number three. progressives can't solve the problem because they won't abandon the practices they cause. the argument he makes is that when you lower the prison population, which was a common theme on the left, right? crime went up. why did it go up? the small percentage of those in the revolving door of the justice system get out and commit crimes again and again and again. >> bill: you summarized what i think is the most accurate criminal justice theory, policy, whatever you want to call it that's out there. all these different theories of incarceration. at the end of the day if nothing else we can agree what works is if you take repeat, chronic incore edgeibles and lock them up they can't do it anymore. that's what barr is talking
7:26 am
about. unfortunately in new york the deblasio administration said we'll go down 40% in jail beds. ryker's is closing. as we devolve the jails to the -- the mayor can do things like wry curse. i think when he goes into the booth at november 8th. i think adams pulls that lever for zeldin. it gives him the cover he needs to do some stuff he wants to do, fixing. >> dana: i buy it. great to have you. >> bill: this happened nine days ago in philly. it is a shoot-out on the sidewalk in philadelphia on the 18th of october. four gunmen with ak-47 style
7:27 am
rifles opened fire in a neighborhood. 54 shots fired. victim shot eight times listed in critical condition. happened again about nine days ago. all four suspects are still at large. so then it comes back to the issue of crime in places like philadelphia, states like pennsylvania. what are you going to decide when it comes to pulling the leaver for your senate candidates and house members how you might change. >> dana: you don't get change unless you vote for it. elon musk visits twitter headquarters. an october meltdown. democrats concerned about a red wave in 12 days as they desperately search for a message that resonates. >> it says throwing spaghetti against the wall and seeing what sticks. it is a very desperate strategy. voters aren't fooled. they smell the desperation very clearly. from newday usa.
7:28 am
it's called the newday 100 because it lets veterans borrow up to 100% of their home's value. not just 80% like some typical loans. that extra cash can make a huge difference in these times of skyrocketing prices. here's more good news: home values have skyrocketed too. that means even more cash! take out an average of $60,000 to pay down your high-rate credit card debt, consolidate your second mortgage, personal loans, and car loans, and lower your payments by $600 every month. best of all, there are absolutely no upfront out-of-pocket costs with this loan. and even if you have credit concerns, give us a call. the va has granted newday automatic authority to make our own approval decisions. when lenders say no to a veteran, newday can say yes.

>> dana: dramatic shift in momentum ahead of the mid-terms giving the republicans the wind at their backs. "wall street journal" editorial board are saying voters with getting a better sense how far the democrats are drifting to the left. let's bring in jessica tarlov and brian brenberg. in the greenroom you were saying. so happy for them but i'll give you a chance to say what you would have actually said. >> what i would actually say is republicans are doing pretty well right now. there have been a couple good polls for democrats in the last two days up 3 or 4 points. but you can see things shifting. this has been going on for the last month or so. summer was good to democrats and now we're reverting to where history takes us usually. i feel that's lost in this
7:34 am
discussion. i'm not saying the economic numbers aren't bad in terms of how people feel about the economy. we got strong economic numbers this morning. this is what happens in a mid-term election and people are looking around and saying there is a potential red tsunami, how can it be? this is traditionally what happens. i feel decent about holding onto the senate. the idea we're defending seats like sean maloney and a plus 20 district in california, that's very concerning. >> bill: what brian was saying in the greenroom was -- we were talking sports. >> look, you have some races where i think the journal is right. the far left shift is there. wisconsin and barnes you can't deny that. fetterman in pennsylvania. but you look at some races and you look at ohio and you look at arizona, for example. you are not talking about -- at least on paper, the most far left candidates we've ever seen but the president is such a drag on these guys.
7:35 am
voters are saying well, will ryan stand up to the president? will we get more of what we've gotten the last two years? i think they are saying ryan will help give us more of the same and we don't want that. >> dana: biden's approval rating is running a race with 20 pound race on your ankles. >> and dragging a bed behind you. how do you do that? >> bill: i guess pull this up . "wall street journal." trump presidency caused many people to lose their minds. democrats and the media most of all. the checks on radical policies vanished as trump was the self-defining political mission. maybe the party will go back to reality. we have a split screen on the cable channels. it is astounding to me. i don't know dana how you feel about this, how many stories they still do on donald trump. it just seems like there is an obsession where they kind of
7:36 am
lost the focus of what people are thinking and feeling these days. that's point number one. point number two would be perhaps if things go the way you just projected a moment ago, the candidates they have put up especially on the side like fetterman are wrong on the policies when it comes to crime and energy and inflation. what do you think about that, jessica? >> the first part is donald trump is still the defact ing leader of the republican party so it makes sense to talk about him and he is and continues to be really good at manipulating the media cycle. even someone off twitter has a way of infiltrating every major story and he is stumping for candidates all over the country. a lot of people think his endorsement is the golden ticket to winning the races and why he still matters. in terms of john fetterman. i thought conor lamb was the better candidate in the primary. pennsylvania voters thought that fetterman was the right choice. he should have been better prepared for the fracking
7:37 am
question and i think candidates continually underestimate voters' ability to forgive and say you have evolved. when you look at people who have been in politics a long time, they change, right? they get new information. he could easily say i want the greenest future possible for the state and country. i supported a ban on fracking and today i have moderated my position. we can't transition so quickly. >> bill: he is not capable of saying that. >> i understand the concerns about it. but it is clear it is not an issue that he can't understand what's going on or doesn't have the ideas, it is communicating them and it is something if you study what happens with stroke victims, that he can move on from. we have had people in wheelchairs serve and >> dana: brian, a quick last word. some of the voters have talked after that debate saying they do understand and willing to say it's okay with me because they want a democrat in the seat. >> on this point of evolution and views. the problem is these views have
7:38 am
changed so radically with so little discussion of why the view has changed except that now politics has changed things on crime, on energy. voters look at that and say you aren't evolving or getting more informed. you are now realizing you're losing. >> will the same be true for herschel walker? you paid for how many a borings boringss but now you think life is the most important thing? it is not a democratic problem. >> a bigger democratic problem now and that's what the polls are showing. >> bill: thank you for being here. in the meantime starting the heating season burning a hole in family budgets. energy prices through the roof. making matters worse there could be a heating oil shortage during the cold months ahead. we don't need that. plus another october surprise, herschel walker issued a denial as he faces new accusations less than two weeks before the big

>> bill: now a second woman has come forward saying that georgia republican senate candidate herschel walker pressured her to have an abortion during their
7:44 am
relationship. the woman says that she was involved with walker for several years starting in 1987. this comes weeks after walker was accused by a former girlfriend paying for her abortion in 2009 as a candidate. walker has said he opposes abortion in all situations in that race. here he is responding to the allegations last night on special report. >> we have to address the elephant in the room today and that is another accuser has come forward saying that she -- that you pressured her to have an abortion and that you paid for it. how do you respond to that? >> well, that's a lie and i said that's a lie and i hope people can see right now that raphael warnock and the left will do whatever they can to win this seat. >> bill: walker is in a tight race against senator warnock. you have to get to 50% to be a winner in georgia. we'll see whether one or the
7:45 am
other can get there. >> dana: days are getting colder and the price of home heating oil is nearly double that of last year. on top of that there is a growing shortage in the northeast as heating season gets underway. laura engel is live in new york. this is a real problem, laura. >> it is indeed. the news of a possible heating oil shortage is not sitting well with many here on the northeast which is where more people use heating oil than any other place in the country. as we wait to find out how this supply shortage is going to shake out, some here are already making difficult financial choices. now, as we have been following around rob pierce the owner of family fuel and heating service making deliveries this morning we see the oil trucks roll through neighborhoods. a common sight but makes people wonder how essential deliveries will cost them. some paying nearly twice as much
7:46 am
as what they paid last year. >> called the office and tell them if you come in give me 100 gallons. i can't afford anymore right now. if the winter gets really harsh i don't know how we'll do it. maybe have to go on a payment plan. >> the average price of home heating oil in september was $4.81 a gallon. up more than 60% than last year. industry experts are talking about a developing crisis, some wholesaleers in connecticut have put retailers on allocation allowing them to buy a limited amount. retailers could be forced to ration heating oil to their customers which has led to the advice to be prepared foruse less. >> consumers should absolutely try to conserve as much as they possibly can. it sounds like a simple remedy but it works. >> the white house says they are
7:47 am
closely monitoring inventory levels especially here on the east coast and they are asking energy companies to start building up their reserves now. >> dana: we'll keep an eye on that. thank you. >> bill: small businesses definitely feeling the pinch of sky high inflation often forcing them to pass the pain to customers by raising prices. that's no bueno for everyone. prices are up sharply in every category and it has been a struggle for the owners of mom's sub shop that offers good find in north carolina northwest of charlotte. good morning. share with our audience maybe the challenge that you are seeing right now with trying to run your business. >> yeah, so the biggest thing is price. unexpectedly the biggest thing is lettuce is what we were hit with most recently.
7:48 am
we are a sub shop. subs, salad. >> dana: what does it do just with the increase in lettuce? >> went from $20 a case to $90 a case in two weeks. >> dana: wow. >> it was totally unexpected. we saw it rise $5 in one week, $ten and the next time we ordered it was $90 for a case. >> you try to keep your supplies to continue to produce. i have to say there is a trickle down with so many people that are involved in this trying to get supplies. >> yes. unfortunately we -- there is a certain point we try not to pass it off to customers and try to eat the price as much as we can. we don't want to pass it on to customers but with $90 a case we have no other choice. our customers are so
7:49 am
