the best is yet to come.ve >> part of you, laura, congratulations. >> laura: i love them.sday i think tuesday and wednesday ia would go on with "fox & friends" and i don't get enough sleep ast is, we will be back. we want you to dvr the show so you never miss an episode and greg gutfeld and everyone takes it from here. ♪ ♪ >> todd: democrats open for a unique term as president obama heads to georgia to rally for stacey abrams and ra raphael warnock. the peach state is a big one to watch with control of this and on the line and the candidates in a dead heat. we will look at those numbers on your screen right now. now, look at us.

>> carley: carley shimkus, president biden absent from the campaign trail this election season. and the white house schedule focusing on official business. this is likely the reason why. just 40% in a recent gallup poll. >> todd: now kevin corke live in washington with more, kevin, good morning to you. >> always great to be with you, guys. let me just quote a seasonally appropriate film that actually debuted about 38 years ago. who are you going to call? not ghostbusters but in this case democrats you are going to call barack obama. that is right. when you need political closure to rally the base and raise money make the closing argument, you've got it. by the way, that is precisely what the president is expected to do with stops planned for nevada and wisconsin and michigan. as you pointed out, carley, georgia. and stacey abrams and raphael warnock and others in the hopes of helping the democrats avoid a

rib wave in less than two weeks. joe biden and kamala harris also hitting the trail. speaking of that race in georgia, one of the big surprises of the campaign season those far, former university of georgia running back and heisman trophy winner herschel walker. boy, he can play. surging ahead in the senate race with raphael warnock okay statistically, it is a type at the fact that he is right there says a lot about the campaign and run of many races the democrats are worried about losing. but don't take my word for it. just ask chuck schumer. >> we are in danger of losing a seat. >> but is hard to believe they would go for herschel walker.

the comment by chuck schumer, it raised eyebrows and once again sort of get into the narrative, say critics comic that liberals and democrats, that they act like they own the black vote. >> al sharpton said herschel walker is insulting as a candidate. i tell you, the liberals are afraid of the narrative building that the republican party is growing. >> it is growing and not just among african american voters but also among particular hispanic voters and asian voters as well. meanwhile, earlier if we showed the map there of the president who is also going to be on the road making trips as well as the vice president biden making his way to florida, new mexico. it is part of unmistakable strategy by the president and a safe environment ahead of the midterms. and then the attack plan is being rolled out for kamala harris. that is to say target past accomplishments and steer clear of races that are hotly

contested, carley and todd. >> todd: kevin corke kicking us off on a friday morning. kevin, speaking of friday, you look to the weekend to college football and college football involves a lot of betting. so of course, we came to the betting lines on the midterm races. if you look at it, it is really moving republican in huge slots. the bettors who are voters know that this is going to be the red tsunami we have been predicting for months. that democrat pessimism which of course republican optimism is backed up by those comments by chuck schumer. i will only point out that you heard some optimism when it came to pennsylvania leaving him to bleed, does he know something we don't with regard to pennsylvania? we saw that debate, the debacle and it was for john fetterman. why doesn't he be a pessimist and when it comes to pennsylvania? >> carley: the winds and the favor.

but it came out a few hours ago and the first line of it is president biden is unpopular everywhere. economic concerns are announcing abortion rights are popular but social issues are more secondary, which is accurate. inflation is the rain that hits everybody come abortion is not. the new strategy has the president with a few select events and during them he needs to deliver the message if gone bad, just wait until republicans are not the best strategy. now, you have the white house doing this somewhat of a sad dance where they are telling the president maybe you should sit this one out and apparently he is pushing back and i would like to do more campaign events if that's okay with you. no, maybe you should sit on the sidelines because of your approval ratings. that is why we are ten days until midterm elections. he's not doing a big event. >> todd: that combined with, "hey, let's push out

barack obama." >> carley: that strategy might work with some voters and democrats. >> todd: it is the public and a of the fact that everything they are doing or have done the last two years has turned to garbage. there is literally nothing that they have done that has been good. you will hear that but look at the jobs numbers. that is the one thing they can kind of hold their hat on and that's failing. you will see that number fall, fall, fall the next several months. 7% job loss, jobless rate 2023. that is bad to. >> carley: the sun is up for grabs. so still talking about this in 2023. all right, meanwhile in new hampshire, the democrat senator and retirement army general going at it over the economy during last night's heated debate. taking aim at hassan's record. >> below gives people tax breaks for making energy-efficient

investments in their home right now. >> she has not done the right thing for spending $5.2 trillion from march to august. any additional spending stop until we have inflation under control. she voted no for that. >> carley: on the topic of abortion, neither candidate held back. >> this is about a woman's fundamental freedom, health and nonbaltic has a long record of extremism here. these decisions is that they can harm women and cost them their lives in some cases. >> her commercial about me wanting to merthyr mike murdered her is disgraceful. i do not support a federal ban either for or against abortion at the federal level. it is now a state issue. >> carley: currently less than three points. and a smaller market as well. over in arizona firing back at her opponent katie hobbs for

accusing her of being behind her campaign office robbery. >> katie hobbs in her camp would try to pin this on us. it is wrong. it is so obvious what is happening. her own party is attacking her. she is trying to disrupt her own medicinal campaign, and the fact that the campaign offices. >> hubs in camp took to twitter with spreading misinformation and inciting riots. they have arrested the 36-year-old man with a robbery who said he needed a place to sleep and terry lake says it was all to reduce to 2 distract from the race and she is over democratic candidates. >> todd: in the meantime, elon musk officially closing his $44 billion deal to buy twitter. the new owner of the site is shaking things up firing top

step and reportedly getting ready to strike down lifetime bands. >> carley: joining us live with the detail with elon's big move. >> good morning official new owner, twitter, $44 billion twitter take over and he is wasting no time immediately cleaning house. he fired ceo and two other top executives in his first power move as owner. an hour's leader tweeting out, "the bird has been freed" referencing twitter's logo. the report said elon plans to fire up to 75% of the social media giant workforce. bloomberg is reporting that he will reverse lifetime twitter bands, which can pave the way for pedal don't like people like president trump and others to return to the platform. shortly after posting this video of himself holding an actual sink signaling to let that sink in, he penned a letter to advertisers with his intentions,

"twitter cannot obviously be free be free for all escape where everything can be said with no consequences. the platform must be warm and welcoming to all to choose or to desire to your experiences." g.o.p. leaders are already on board. listen. speak with the single greatest threat to free speech and great fair election that we have in america. twitter was brazen about it about silencing and censoring conservatives. elon musk, i'm glad he bought twitter and he put a lot of money into it. he said he wants it to be a haven for free speech. he wants to let people speak and debate it for it to be the town square of public democracy. >> elon musk's specific plans remain unclear and is calling himself "the chief twit" todd and carley. >> carley: think it's much. moving onto this, he claims gas prices yesterday as people worry about how they are going to heat their homes this winter, listen.

>> because of the action taken, gas prices are declining. we are down $1.25 and this summer, they have been falling for the last three weeks as well. and that israel savings for families. today, the most common place with gas in america is $3.39. down from over $5 when i took office. >> todd: it was $2.39 when joe biden took office, not a life the president of the oil and gas john huber joining us now. i would like to begin with you. how are you going to afford your own survivor gnomic survival this winter? >> so, we have decided to put in a woodstove to offset the cost of oil. when i moved into this house a year ago, i filled my oil tank from empty 275 gallons for $364

or around there. i just went to top it off and i've had the tank a little under half. i went to order 150 gallons and it was close to $900. so, that means that what every five or six weeks and need to top off it $9600 so we decided to put in a woodstove and i got about $800 and that should definitely take us through the winter because there is no way that can happen. >> carley: it is going to be an expensive winter and tim, house democrats wrote a letter to the president asking to tap into the nation's stockpile again because he'd been oil is almost double from last year. what do you make of that strategy? >> you know, carley, i went back and it's been about a year since we had this conversation where the administration was pursuing policies and pushing millions of

people into energy poverty. it is heartbreaking to hear somebody liked on a talk about that. there was the old saying that elephants fight ass gets trampled and the industry has put families like donna's on the brink of losing prosperity. it is heartbreaking to hear that antonello heating oil has gone up 175% from the time biden went into office. used by 5 million households, moderate low income families in the northeast. the administration hates heating oil and they say it is dirty and some went to install some other acceptable form of heating their house. and they don't seem to care who is bearing the cost until they realize gosh bang it, it might be them who bears the cost at the ballot box. >> todd: the price of gas has donna, you heard in the introduction, also not taking responsibility for the state of the economy and in fact, lange who was at fault, calling out

donald trump. listen. >> let's just take a look at the facts. when i took office, the economy was in ruins. my predecessor was the first president since huber gnomic herbert hoover, not a joke to lose jobs in his entire administration. >> todd: quick fact-check take a look at your stock market before joe biden. take a look at the state of the economy inflation before joe biden as donald trump was leaving office commit is way better than it is right now. donna, how infuriating is it to hear that kind of deflection from the president of the united states, the man who is supposed to be protecting you as the leader of the country? >> it is really upsetting. i mean i'm a single family household, you know, i was talking yesterday and i bought a small lunch or two years ago and it used to cost me under $30 to fill the tank. now, it is over 40. you know, that and food prices are going up. i don't know how families are

going to, you know, we are getting hit all around and i don't know how people are going to do it. like i said in another inte interview, they are having to choose between having to feed their families and heating their homes, putting gas in their car. this president is delusional, he is delusional. >> carley: tim, "the new york times" reported earlier the biden administration struck face secret deal with saudi arabia for them to increase oil production. that is one of the reasons why the president went over to saudi arabia to that deal. that never happen and when they actually announce the production cut, they were caught flat-footed and embarrassed and they are floundering on what to do. if only there was another source of oil and gas. you hear things like that, what goes through your head? >> go figure if only there was another source media right right here in the united states. to donna's point, people have a

right to be angry because they are forced to switch fuels and make decisions because somebody else is making a decision on their behalf. from our industry's perspective, nobody wants to be told where any business wants to be told their product cost too much and the customer can't afford it. it is not good for the customer. it is not good for us. and if we look at the administration again, we have to point fingers because they put us in this situation. now millions of energy poverty because really bad decisions over 18 months ago. it does not help to get stiff armed by the saudis. it is embarrassing on the world stage, quite frankly. >> todd: it is amazing he doesn't feel shame and embarrassment for what his policies have been to people like donna huber. thank you very much, best of luck this winter, donna. a crazy story of crime ridden chicago less than a week after release from prison for punching a woman and kicking a cop. that man right there doing the exact same thing. >> carley: plus aoc taking

new biden administration policy put in place earlier this month. others living in the tent city reaching before the immigration rule took effect. several 1800 venezuela migrants have reportedly been returned to mexico in just the last two weeks. so the new policy than a will return to mexico a.k.a. remain a mexico policy and the trump administration had put in place, but only doing it for venezuelans. there has actually been a drop in the illegal immigrants from venezuelans coming to the u.s. but the border patrol agents say that country alone is just a drop in the bucket. >> todd: as to the tent city on the mexican side of the border, boy, they are taking the biden administration seriously. that is sarcasm in case you couldn't see my face. there is definitely a sense of entitlement by a lot of migrants. why do they feel they have entitlement to come here illegally and live here? if you come through the proper

channels you get to realize the american peer that is the bark and we make with the world. when you don't do that and you think, i will just camp out until the election is over and biden can't go far left again and doing what he did the last two weeks with regard to, oh, my god the american people care about immigration and i better do something before midterms, that shows lack of respect for the rules. that is what you see on the screen. >> carley: alexandria ocasio-cortez had some interesting comments recently on illegal immigration and democrats in general. watch this. >> the party has not tried in terms of the elect towards with president party marijuana execu. i applaud that he went there, but he exempted people who were convicted if they were convicted while undocumented. >> carley: rule of advice there, president biden, imagine if he had included illegal

immigrants in that. but i do think she is right when she said the democrats have not tried in terms of latino electorate. where is the dream act? do you remember 2018 when president trump announced a plan for citizenship for dreamers in exchange for border wall funding? and that fell through but he got the funding for border wall and all of the materials were not put to use. be paid for the wall, the wall was never finished, and now hispanic americans living on the southern border or frustrated because there is the flow of illegal immigrants coming into the country. so aoc is right when she said the democratic party has not done much for hispanic voters. >> todd: but just highlight the absolute chaos for the democratic party right now, not just when it comes to midterms but literally all policy. to your point so well taken on hey, biden shouldn't take this advice. aoc in the squad have put democrats in this horrible midterm position by some how convincing the white house a far

left agenda is what the american people want. obviously we see the proof in the pudding and i also say this is confusing messaging from the white house. you literally removed all other consequences for illegals. why do you play tough guy when it comes to matter one? i'm not saying they are wrong in what they were doing, but i don't understand why they are playing tough guy. >> carley: you see in florida a lot of democratic party officials who are saying, "florida is going to be a big loss for the democrats." all of this, you know, comes into play talking about the midterm elections. they are now expecting governor desantis to win big and senator rubio to win big. republicans really are making up for lost time because for many, many years, republicans didn't reach out to minority communities. a huge mistake now they are. if that continues well democrats

talks about latinx and pushing amnesty or pardons for the illegal immigrants when it comes to weed to come i think that trend will continue. we see where the priorities are, talking about the economy versus marijuana ordinance. >> todd: support acknowledgment that you mentioned, that was politico which is a far left publication since the axios folks left and went to axios. the fact they acknowledge so close to the election shows it is complicated at this point. it will happen, part of the midterm red tsunami. >> carley: we will talk about all of this before acting dhs secretary chad wolf in the next hour. >> todd: okay, the next video we are about to show you pretty hard to watch. a driver plowing into a grandmother crossing a street with a toddler, her grandson. the person behind the wheel for speeding and still on the loose. we are going to tell you everything we know. ♪ ♪

is how we deal with these problems in oregon. one party rule has not fared very well. as a mayor, as a mom, as a business owner every day oregonians say enough is enough and we will take that message to congress. >> todd: these canada issues we go to the issues in the particular race and usually at the top is economy and the spot is crying but similar but different in oregon. listen to this, 32% said homelessness is the top issue and that of course followed by crime and police at 60%. poor leadership in government 9%. that does not mean you have inflation and economic issues, but it does highlight how big of hole in portland as a whole. if it is a big issue, glory, why have the progressive left leaders let it get to this point? >> oh, my gosh, they cannot tell

us to not believe our eyes any longer. it is in every street, everywhere downtown portland and migrated to all communities. in my district the fifth district, we see it over the cascades in into central oregon. over 15,000 was the last report and we know that is in undercount. kids are back in school. they cannot walk on the streets. the tent cities are everywhere. i will tell you is a member of congress, drug addiction is a problem on the streets. we are number 50 in drug addiction and excuse me number one in drug addiction and number 50 and drug treatment. the fentanyl prices are affecting oregonians every single day. we sold the biggest drug bust in eugene in the southern portion of my district where it would have killed over 1 million people if it was confiscated the pier that is an issue. certainly, people want to know about this race because again everyday moms, everyday business owners, community members saying

enough is enough. you will find more about this issue because people care and want to know how we will make the change and we have to do it out governor's race will highlight that as well, christine drazan and that is why people are changing their minds. you will see oregon flip bread to. >> todd: with all of that in mind in the oregon governor's race, they would have put somebody up there a little less for left in your race, same thing you would think they put the democrats somebody a little bit more moderate. they did not do that. they went all in progressive in the governor's race and your race. how important is that two modern democrats to vote for you? >> oh, absolutely. really they ate their own. here is the deal, get calls every day that tell me, you know, we are democrats, but we are not voting democrat this cycle because of all of the bad policies we have seen in oregon. people are frustrated and people are tired. people want to see real change.

what is interesting to get those calls for them to say, "enough is enough and i would like to see the change in policies." they will find someone with a proven track record and we want to keep taxes low, economy better, and we want to keep safety in the streets. i was fully happy valley and focus all the way through the state. in if i can be that farm in washington, d.c., and partner with the new governor in oregon, we can make real strides and changes for the oregonians. >> todd: chavez-deremer, we will be watching, best of luck. >> think you come i appreciated. >> carley: turning to the crisis the video you may see is hard to watch, home security video for a horrifying moment a grandmother is mowed down by a car crossing the street as she pushes her grandson in a stroller. the driver takes off leaving the 68-year-old woman and grandson severely injured. the tall toddler ended up with a

correctional center ten days ago he got to go home same day for crock time spent jail and 56% reduction. only six days later not even a week he was arrested again for punching a woman and kicking a cop in the groin. the l.a. department of corrections is not revoking his parole. meanwhile the chicago mayor lori lightfoot proposed a new ordinance further defining a proposal to increase her pay, sagging, "the ordinance introduced today would put the mayor, city treasurer and all elected officials regarding the cost of living increases. it is not a salary increase." now $260,000, but with 5% pay raise, it will be $227,000. meanwhile the gubernatorial candidate bailey is slamming candidates for not having a better handle on all of the top issues facing americans today. >> we have to wonder why we are still having problems because of

these people who have answers to crime, to high taxes and field education. they should be solving it. they have no answers but instead come everyday they are making it worse. i'm telling you why a picture of chicago isn't the definition of corruption and urban dictionary, it should be. >> carley: philly, st. louis, just to name a few when it comes to the severe staffing shortages. the police departments around the country struggled to remain staff, a rising crime is taking hold. new york city crime is up over 30%. chicago over 39% in san francisco 7.4% and that is just a couple. >> carley: ashley strohmier live, thank you. nypd detective and former chicago police officer anthony napolitano. and sergeant smith, a spokesperson for the national police association. good morning to you all.

sergeant smith, the police resignations are up 18% and retirements up 45%. how long do you expect this trend to last? what are some solutions to this? >> well, i think this trend will last another year or t. replacing the police officers is very difficult. remember a police officer goes through nine months to a year training a day before hired before they hit the streets. now, we are going to have difficulty retaining officers because of many things you just described. we can't get new people to this profession because law enforcement has been light about, we have been vilified. so we are heading in a crisis, and we will see it for another couple of years at least. >> carley: out in l.a. detective mcbride, the police department there down 600 officers, crime up 9%.

we are dealing with cause and effect here. on top of that, california, can you still $950 worth of stuff before considered a major crime. so it sounds like you have a big problem on your hands. >> yes, actually we are down 700 officers because the numbers keep growing daily. >> carley: wow! >> the number of crimes to $2,000, $3,000 because nobody goes to jail like talked about earlier. the problem is you go back to 2020 and defund the police movement we have x congresswoman karen bass one of the defund the police advocates running for mayor, los angeles mayor. what do you think will happen if she wins? right now, does the los angeles come everyday is a movie set, the movie perch with all the cry to my crimes and the walking dead because you have these people on drugs and the homeless tenants. it's not safe here. i've been telling people over a

year, do not come to los angeles because we cannot keep you safe. >> carley: crime is a major factor and we have to see how that plays out but a big push for change in many historically liberal areas. speaking of the story, out in chicago, chicago is down 204 police officers, crime is up 39% and what are the conversations like in the meetings that you are attending with local lawmakers? are they still pushing to defund the police? or have people sort of changed they are tuned in chicago? >> if you sit in the city council, you are amazed at the socialist to defund the police. it originally started out they were trying to line item the budget but they realize it does not go well for the reelection. so they are vilifying the job in connecting with the state's attorney and chief judge, letting all these prisoners out and offenders out immediately.

and throw their hands up in the air and say, i'm not going to do this job anymore. they realize no one will take the job. this is a family tradition for me. my family got me to take the police department job at first. and now, no one wants their kid to take this job. we are in a crisis and we need officers desperately. >> carley: the police officers that worked at fox and i asked them if they were 20 years old and about to start their own careers now, where they become a police officer? and a lot of them said with the way things are right now the answer is no. it is unfortunate because police officers are typically highly a respected job but many people feel that way still, but because of these attacks, there are so few people that want to join the force. sergeant smith, getting back to midterm elections there candidates on the democratic side my never supported defund the police, don't look at me even though many did. did that signal to you public

sentiment is moving back to the side of law enforcement and does that give you hope? >> well, absolutely the national police department is being bullied. most citizens want their police departments refunded or funded more. most citizens are concerned with our mental health and most citizens want more police in their neighborhood. so, it is not the people who want the police defined about the politicians. we see a lot of that being walked back right now. but we know it is all on video. a great example, cori bush in st. louis the other day when they have they are terrible school shooting. the st. louis pd came in there, took out the threat, and she put out a very lukewarm, "oh, thanks first responders" and she calls getting rid of the county jail and the voters know. they know.
