♪ ♪ >> carley: democrats are hoping for a midterm miracle with former president obama heading to georgia to rally for stacey abrams and raphael warnock is to days out from midterms. that senate race in the peach state is a big one to watch with control of the center on the line and the candidates in a dead heat. you are watching "fox & friends first" this friday morning i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: happy friday, todd piro, president biden has been largely absent from the

campaign trail this election season. instead, sticking to strict white house schedule focusing on official business. also ice cream. this is one of the reasons his approval rating notching just 40% in a recent gallup poll but democrats cannot detach from the white house. >> voters are responding to a failed administration here or there is just no way to sugarcoat it. things have gotten worse since joe biden was president. the inflation is at a 40 year high and he waged war on american energy. he bundled the southern border like never seen before. so they are failing and the democrats are still in lock step with him and will not break with extreme policies. and our candidates are offering the better visions. >> todd: kevin corke live in washington ahead of another busy campaign weekend. a happy friday to you, 's or. >> happy friday, my friend, by the way, nice suit. great to be with you as always. i will show you a map of where

the president and former president barack obama and the vice president will be going over the next several days. oh, yell, down the stretch they come as a say in sports, that is right when you need a political closing you: the former president and they understand he can rally the base, raise money and make it usually pretty convincing closing arguments. that is what democrats are hoping for, obviously, they need all the help they can get this specially places like georgia where he will stop for stacey abrams and raphael warnock and others in the hopes of helping the democrats avoid a red tsunami in less than two weeks. let me show you the latest poll between herschel walker and raphael warnock. can you believe it? walker now in the lead despite this sort of drip and drab of negative stories. apparently, georgia feels like he may be "just what the doctor ordered." don't take my word for it but

listen to chuck schumer. it is hard to believe that they would vote for herschel walker so says chuck schumer. obviously, he doesn't know much about sec football because herschel walker was revered for many years in that state. but beyond that, he is talking politics and policy. there are a number of folks that believe he may be exactly what the state needs. by the way, a lot of folks are complaining what chuck schumer said was, well, unseemly and it almost seemed to some critic to suggest that if you vote for walker, you are somehow turning your back on black voters. >> al sharpton said herschel walker is insulting as a

candidate. i tell you, the liberals are afraid of the narrative bit is building that the republican party is growing. >> that they are because they were growing not just african american voters but hispanic voters and the polling showing that purity even with asian voters. meanwhile, we showed you the former president tripp and the vp will be going. it is part of unmistakable strategy to keep biden ahead of the midterm spirit there is also a similar attack plan hold out for kamala harris. that is to say talk about the accomplishments and steer clear of those hot button issues and hotly contested races. it should make for an interesting day in georgia and of course we will have the details, back to you. >> todd: hot button issues like yellow school buses and putting to work. kevin corke have a great weekend. in the meantime in new hampshire, democrat senator maggie hassan going at it over the economy last night

in a heated debate there. taking aim at hassan's record. >> allowed to give people tax breaks for making energy efficient investments in their home right now, don bolduc proposes that also's appearance because she has not done the right thing for spending. 5 trillion more dollars from march to august. stop any additional spending until we get inflation under control. she voted no for that. >> todd: on the top topic abortion, neither canada or holding back. >> this is about a woman's fundamental freedom, her health and safety. and don bolduc has a long record of extremism here appear these decisions is they can, in fact, harm women because their lives n some places. >> me about wanting to murder mothers is disgraceful. i do not support a federal ban either for or against abortion at the federal level. it is now a state issue. >> todd: this racist

tightening, too, don bolduc trailing by less than three points. in arizona gubernatorial candidate cary lake with her upon katie hobbs accusing her of being behind a campaign office with robbery listen to this. decided that katie hobbs and her camp would try to pin this on us. it is so obvious what is happening. her own party, she is trying to deflect her own abysmal campaign, you know, and campaign offices. >> todd: katie hobbs right after the break to accuse lake of spreading misinformation and inciting threats. there is on a police have since arrested a 36-year-old man in connection -- he just said he needed a place to sleep. lake's claim says it is a distraction from the race as she leads over democratic candidate. i think out of all of the

shockers out of this election season, that one is the most. >> carley: we shall see but in the meantime, watches. a new orleans woman fighting off a car checker. the later shock and crime as officers searched for the suspect. >> todd: in new york, innocent people flee for their lives facing brutal attacks trying to take the subway. but to the people in charge, the problem is just perception. our next guest begs to differ demanding the city do something for months, and they will join us next. ♪ ♪

benefits and give them a gun. because if someone comes on the subway with a gun, what are they going to do? >> carley: exactly. >> right now observe and report and they are not allowed to tackle them. >> carley: observe and report. so if you are getting shoved on the subway tracks, someone watching is not going to help the situation. >> no, does not. >> todd: they are adams and governor hochul came out with a plan and to have more officers working the subway with overtime hours. but then you talk to the police and they say, we are already understaffed by significant amount and stretched so thin over time. you cannot run a city on overtime hours. do you think that is a good plan that will help? >> it is a plan for disaster is what it is. the reason why is because years ago you have a lot of police officers. a lot of police officers left the force. this overtime thing right now nypd officers are working 14

hour shifts. they are tired. they are exhausted. one thing to suggest to the government is bringing state troopers to patrol. at one point, we were calling for national guard, but we were told we can't do stuff like that. >> carley: it does feel like a national guard situation, absolutely. you are holding something and i believe it is a plan to keep someplace safe, is that what this is? we are launching a campaign and doing promotional videos and stuff. all of that can be found on the social media pages on facebook, youtube and passengers united.org. >> carley: you care so much about the city and you are doing commendable work and we thank you so much for joining us. >> sure, i love our city we want to make it better. we need the leadership ability from elected officials. they have to step up into the jobs. because one elected official told me we don't need

was in ruins. my predecessor was the first president since herbert hoover, not a joke to lose jobs in the entire administration. administration. speak with this as americans are bracing for higher heating bills this winter. the energy department projecting that gas will cost 28% more, heating oil up 27% and electricity up 10%, propane up by percent right now, gas $3.36 a gallon as of this morning. >> todd: the day to celebrate first responders. >> it is the white house issuing a proclamation of october 20th is first responders day writing "on national first responders day we honor the bravery of the nation's heroes who put their lives on the lines for fellow americans each and every day. i call upon all the people of the united states to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities to honor brief first responders and pay tribute to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty."

the children's foundation formed after the tragic events of 9/11 holding in the event later today in times square to honor the sacrifices of our first responders. we should at they provide scholarships, financial assistance to the children of families up every day he rose. this group would like to see national first responders they celebrated every october 28th, a permanent day of recognition. the house has passed a measure to make it permanent. with the democrat led senate has yet to take that up. the governors of several states have issued proclamations in support of the day. if you think about it, it was not just 9/11 but covid a covid, the first responders go through so much and dealing with vaccine mandates and crime across the country so why not give them a day every year. just to say thank you. >> carley: i love that it does national first responders day. so happy first responders day. thank you for bringing us out. democrats are scrambling 11 days

will yell. the camera is 10 feet away. and i was on with kayleigh mcenany yesterday and she had a pretty good theory that that was intentional. >> carley: it could be. it did seem staged, i agree with that. we talk about georgia and there was concern. politico has an interesting headline and it warrants it will be ugly for democrats as all signs with a landslide in florida and the peace talks about democratic donors are abandoning the state because it is no longer competitive. >> nor should it be. ron desantis is the most popular governor in the country right now based on his performance. charlie crist is profoundly horrible candidate and obviously, that will trickle down to marco rubio beating val demings in that state purity going back to georgia real quick. i am seeing poles where you have governor kemp up ten points on stacey abrams. if that is the case, i cannot

see going into a polling booth, "i like brian kemp but i like warnock and double digits you lead and herschel walker is in a perfect position. speak to do you think that he wl help? campaigning for these folks, welcome to the party, powell. you could have campaigned a couple days after labor day but after voting has begun, i don't know if barack obama at this point really resonates with voters because you connect obama to biden. if you chose biden as vice president and in all the states, the swing states, joe biden is pulling into the 30s. that is a bad thing. so, it won't hurt because barack obama still puts on a good speech, but he should have done this a lot sooner. >> carley: good point. >> todd: to "the new york times" and abc defending john fetterman. the headlines, fetterman with highlights and politics, that was from abc and "new york times" how john fetterman's appearance was a

powerful moment. joe, why is there no acknowledgment you cannot perform the job of senator based upon john fetterman's condition? this is an attack on disability. there are a lot of jobs you cannot perform in that condition.quarterback, news anco r. >> my mom had a stroke and i have shared that with you guys. yyou can have empathy or sympaty for john fetterman and make the argument you are making that to do this job, it is a high stress job and you have to debate on the senate floor and make an argument that you won't have the courtesy of closed captioning to do it. so taking all of that aside though, what arguments is john fetterman making how to lower inflation or how to beat crime or reduce crime in cities like philadelphia? philadelphia set a record for the most homicides in history breaking the record from 2021. john fetterman has been lieutenant governor of that state and letting prisoners out

and advocates letting prisoners out that commit violent crimes. so, put the whole thing aside for a second in a purple state like pennsylvania. i don't see how john fetterman's arguments ultimately win the day. we salt out poll out dr. oz and he was down double digits just a couple of weeks ago. >> carley: it is unbelievable the gap dr. oz has closed the past few months. you are right. it is more than just health but the policies, the policies and these positions. we are talking about pennsylvania -- he went to protest and with the business owner and went to protest outside of his office because he is lieutenant governor. everything was locked down in pennsylvania. and john fetterman had a flag with marijuana leaf in his office. that is his big issue is getting marijuana legalized at a time when there are so many other things, crime and at the time reopening the city as well. >> what do you say?

if john fetterman was a republican, do you think you would see these headlines in the press? he has to drop out for the good of his health and for his family. instead, they try to push this guy over the finish line. also tuesday night, it was not good. >> carley: joe, thank you for joining us in the studio. happy friday. rachel campos-duffy with real texas holding a -- as immigration is in the midterms. >> todd: she has a preview for us, hey, rachel. >> good morning to both of you and we are intel real with a group of people and we will talk mostly to all locals and we have record high border numbers over 2.5 million that we know crossing the border. this is going to be one of the hottest issues coming up in the election affecting the hispanic vote. it will be impacting everybody. so we will talk to people who are being directly impacted by

open borders and by the biden open border policies. ♪ ♪

>> todd: another democrat divide, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez calling out president biden for not blanket for people marijuana conviction. >> the democratic party has not tried in terms of latino electorates. where's our dream act. where is our immigration reform? and even recently, with president biden's marijuana executive order. i very much applaud that he went there, but he exempted people who were convicted if they were convicted while they were undocumented. ains. >> carley: former acting dhs secretary chad wolf. what do you think about that

comment from aoc? >> i think it just shows her priority and perhaps the priorities of the left. look, their idea of solving this crisis and solving the immigration crisis and really trying to appeal to certain voters is to give them blanket amnesty or in this case obviously dealing with pardons for those here in the country illegally. i think it's wrong. it's an american last strategy. i think the american people want to see policies from either party. it's really impacting americans every single day and this isn't it. >> todd: on the marijuana part of this. you have heard legal scholars say nobody is convicted of a federal marijuana possession crime. that is left to the states and localities. bigger picture, are chad, after his approach to immigration and the border in total, why is he pretending to play tough guy with the illegals when it comes to marijuana? >> >> well, i think that's right. again, i think this is the left's kind of appeal. they believe their appeal to

latina voters. and i think what we have seen is that most latinos that we have talked to that i have talked to want a secure border. they want folks to come into the country legally. they don't want to see those who came here illegally rewarded with pardons or any other type of behavior from the federal government. it's the wrong approach. a misreading of that community. they want law and order. they want process at that border. and, you know, aoc and others need to be focusing on solving the crisis on that border. we have historic crisis on that border that that party is not talking about and it's a shame. they are in power. they have the ability to solve this today if they choose to. >> chad, migrants, including venezuelans who have been sent back to mexico have now building a tent city on the other side of the border they are hoping this new biden administration policy that sends venezuelans back to mexico which is essentially the remain in mexico policy is going to eventually get overturned by the administration. what do you make of the biden administration doing this right

now? some people have said this is a positive step in the right direction. others say man o man this is just a drop in the bucket. >> well, i would agree. i think this is too little too late. i think what they are seeing is that tea taking against the venezuelans perhaps could work. it's just a small you said drop in the bucket. the vengz is just one population coming across that border in historic numbers. and so if they want to get serious about it. they need to not only look at venezuelans but cubans and all the other nationalities, 130 nationalities coming across that border. the numbers that you are going to continue to see over month after month after month even after this policy has been instituted. you will see these astronomically high numbers. it's not going to have a material effect of what is going on at that border is just going to effect one small population such as the venezuelans, you will see other populations and other numbers coming across that border in historic nuives that

we will continue to see, unfortunately. >> todd: chad wolf has a new op-ed on foxnews.com. americans deserve solutions not excuses. of course it is on the border crisis. chad, thank you so much for joining us and good luck with the op-ed. great weekend. >> thank you, guys. >> carley: have a great weekend to you, too, todd. have a great weekend.
