>> dana: are you dressing up tonight? >> bill: i might. slow down, guys. we got the mailman. >> dana: percy only has a bandana and i called him mr. solemn puppy. he looks unimpressed. don't forget to watch "the five" later today as well. "the faulkner focus" is up next. >> harris: we begin with this fox news alert. president biden calls november 8th the most important election day in our lifetimes. president biden and his political party could be on the precipice of disaster. so who would they call in to help? former president barack obama, that's who is going to apparently have to save the democrats. you are in "the faulkner focus." democrats are scrambling to hang onto slim majorities on the hill. national polls are showing danger signs for democrats.

obama has got to be exhausted already. tv ads, personal appearances across several states for dozens of candidate. crowds trying to rally in support of the former president when a heckler in detroit brought the event to a halt. >> we'll be violating the basic spirit of this country. so, sir, sir, come on. you wouldn't do that in a workplace. you wouldn't just interrupt people in the middle of a conversation. it is not how we do things. just basic civility and courtesy works. listen, everybody, hey, y'all up there. >> harris: it went on for several minutes like that. this headline. democrats turn to obama to rescue them from a mid-term shell acting. then they add even as he stars

at the party's biggest draw and chief base motivator an unmistakable fear that even he can't prevent what may end up being inevitable blood-letting on november 8th. dodging questions, as you know they do at the white house lectern, about the homestretch strategy here. >> my question is why is the former president making this case and not the current president? >> so i would disagree with that characterization of your question or how it was characterized there. the president has been talking about this almost every day for months now. he has been talking about the choices that are at stake here. >> harris: wait, is she still looking at a binder? heavens. where is president biden doing all that talk that his press secretary says he is doing and helping his party? at home in delaware. his only weekend appearance is what you see here casting his mid-term ballot on saturday. it is monday. chair of the republican national

committee ronna mcdaniel is in "focus." first let's go to peter doocy live at the white house. peter. >> bill: it's just not quite right to say that president biden is out there on the campaign trail every day making the case. no campaign events today. no campaign events over the weekend. >> president biden: i'm feeling good. i've been in i guess now 36 constituencies either campaigning for a specific candidate or joining with the candidate who is doing something out at the bridge in pittsburgh. >> he is doing more official events that benefit his administration than campaign events that benefit a candidate. democrats are making their closing argument almost exclusively about republican plans instead of their own, constantly warning if republicans get control of congress medicare and social security benefits are in danger. republicans aren't really saying that in the closing days.

instead they are emphasizing specific policies they would like to put forward like this. >> on that very first day we'll repeal these new 87,000 i.r.s. agents. i think government should be here to help you, not to go after you. it is the fundamental. the part about crime, you have to secure your border. >> ultimately very little of that is going to be possible without president biden's signature. over the course of the next week we expect to see officials dig in try to help their side retain control of congress. after that nothing that the president talks about, that mccarthy talks about, will actually get done unless somebody on either side reaches across the aisle. harris. >> harris: thank you very much. he have ten liberal media are questioning former president obama's campaign blitz. >> they are relying on somebody who left the ballot a decade ago to come in as a closer talking

you a lot about where things are. >> barack obama is so good at this and it's what they are counting on. >> it tells you what we know about the election. joe biden can't be out there. this is the only person they can put out. >> harris: is it can't or shouldn't? ronna mcdaniel, chair of the republican national committee, is in "focus" now. great to see you chairwoman. first of all, barack obama possibly could get somebody elected. it might only be himself. when you hear democrats say ten years since he was on the ballot, that has to help republicans. >> it seems like a hail mary desperation and it is so evident they aren't putting biden on the campaign trail. you know why? the candidates don't want to be with biden. his approval rating is record low. they don't want to be seen with him. tim ryan has said he doesn't want to be seen with him or warnock. he is stuck in delaware and pulling out the relic of obama

and hoping it will help lift their chances. it will be a tight election and we need everybody to get out and vote. i don't call it a red wave until we see it on election day. >> harris: what kind of indications are you getting through the canvassing you've done with your teams? how many people who vote on the right have already voted? the early voting in georgia is presidential-like. across the country millions of people have already voted. this is still a week to go. >> it's really hard to compare to 2018 or 2020 because voting habits have changed and laws have changed specifically in georgia. georgia they have cast 1.5 million ballots already. most of them have been early voting in person. we're seeing republicans coming out. what we're seeing across the board in states like pennsylvania, nevada, georgia, arizona where we're getting some indicators is that republican enthusiasm is up. we're outpacing what we've seen in past elections and we're seeing a little bit of dip in

democrat enthusiasm. it will come down to election day. no republican can take this for granted. we need everybody to go vote. get your family and friends to go. get them to go vote republican and go to gop.com. that's how tight some of the senate races are going to be. >> harris: that's funny. you all get in the same car and get along and let's go vote. the latest fox power rankings on the balance of power in the senate predicts republicans will hold a 51-49 majority after the mid-term elections. so they are going to flip it red. four senate contests are considered a toss-up at this point. florida gop senator rick scott is confident in republicans' chances. >> i think the democrats will get a rude awakening on november 8th that high inflation, high crime, open border is not what the american public wants.

i'm hopeful republicans will pass good legislation and joe biden will sign it. i think we'll get 52 plus. walker will win in georgia. weep all 29 of ours. oz will win against fetterman in pennsylvania. >> harris: senator scott told me last week that it is republicans' time. do you think that that's too ambitious, 52 seats taken in the senate by republicans? what would indicate that? >> i don't. i've been traveling with rick scott. i can't remember all the states i've been with him. what we're seeing on the ground, the enthusiasm we're seeing and hearing from voters deeply concerned about the economy, inflation is a huge issue especially for people on a fixed income who are trying to make ends meet. gas prices are a huge issue. crime is a huge issue and education. parents who are feeling the deficits that their kids have from the pandemic and those lock

downs especially in the democrat-run states is very real. people are coming home to the issues they're waking up dealing with every day. republicans are addressing them and democrats own it. they don't have anything to run on because people's lives fundamentally are not better than they were two years ago when democrats took office. >> harris: you know what's fascinating. you mentioned parents and students. that issue got set on fire with the national report card just a couple of weeks out from this election. you couldn't ask an administration to hurt is self-more. that's all them, too. but the truth is what it is. democrat campaign committee chairman congressman sean patrick maloney acusses republicans of -- >> they have no plan for gun violence, no plan to move our country forward protecting voting rights and reproductive

freedoms. don't punish the people fixing your problems and don't reward the people trying to exploit the problems for their own political power. >> he is lying. we see the problems in fronts of our face. we know people dying of fentanyl. i run into them at rallies. a woman held up a picture of her daughter who just died of fentanyl. that's real. democrats have failed to close our border. crime is surging. young people are dying and people are dying across the country because of policies like cashless bail allowing criminals to get on the streets. the democrats are the pro-criminal and pro-drug and anti-kids party. we're not exploiting anything. we're seeing what's right in front of our face. this is common sense versus crazy policies that have diminished so many things in our

country. crime and gas prices and fentanyl are on the rise and kids are on the decline. enough is enough. that's why you should vote republican. >> harris: you talked about gasoline and the president is touting how it has gone down because of taking it from our emergency oil reserve. now he will possibly have to tap the diesel and home heating reserve. we're running out. 22 days for the estimated time that we have left with the oil supplies we have for that and it will be chilly and we'll need our things delivered by the trucks that driver diesel. your last quick thought. >> you know what he could do? unleash american energy. we were energy independent before biden under president trump. biden shut down the keystone pipeline and he shut down drilling on federal leased lands. he did it on purpose, intentional and caused the flood of inflation. why don't you unleash american energy and stop the american people from paying from your bad

policies? >> harris: you would think his base would like some of that. they had to bring out a former president, barack obama to preach to the base to get them riled up. good to see you. thank you very much for being in "focus" always. president biden fact checked on twitter. another false claim. but plus the left is raising the alarm on elon musk's twitter takeover. >> he will bring back comedy without fear you get can cismd it is long overdue. the react from the left i have to say has been miserably predictable. >> harris: musk says he will defend free speech. democrats say we should all be worried about that. we'll see what pete hegseth has to say in "focus" -- there he is -- next. -zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk,

>> harris: lelon musk is responding to the "new york times" headline saying he ordered job cuts across twitter. the times reports the layoffs at twitter would take place before november 1st. so tomorrow. that date is important because that's when employees were scheduled to receive stock grants as part of their compensation. musk tweeted this. this is false. he has said his main goals at twitter are to insure free speech and to make the company more profitable. some on the left say they're still skeptical. >> now that elon musk runs twitter, do you trust him? >> no, i do not. elon musk has said now he will start a content moderation board. that was one good sign but i

continue to be concerned about that. >> harris: twitter take overdubbed the third era of social media by editors at the national review. republic dedicated to liberty needs media institutions that are themselves dedicated to free expression. in musk's twitter we may have that once again. again that's from the national review. pete hegseth co-host of "fox & friends" weekend. first they quoted him incorrectly. so then what he is responding to is he hadn't planned to do that before november 1st, tomorrow and keep everybody from getting their money. >> no, no. here is what you have to understand. "the new york times" is an extension of the establishment and twitter, the p.r. board of the folks that work at twitter who don't want anything to change. so employees will leak whatever untrue, anti-elon musk information they can to the cathedral of the "new york

times" that exists to protect their power structures. then use it to try to box in elon musk. this is the guy who founded tesla and spacex doing things everyone told him he couldn't do. i don't think the intimidation will work. if you change the culture of twitter from a left wing vert virtue signaling cull tear he will have to -- if you want to change a culture you have to change people. "the new york times" wants to prevent that from happening and amy klobuchar, do we care who she trusts and do we trust amy klobuchar to be the decider of what acceptable free speech is? elon musk said it was a relevant platform and then it got trump derangement syndrome has blocking conservatives and they

are losing their minds because a level playing field "the new york times" power is over from vaccines to lockdowns to bubble -- to pick your example. the immediate orthodoxies can be challenged. it disrupts their monopoly. >> harris: another one to the hypocrisy of racism that ex iced with senator tim scott's derivative of his name turned into a racial slur. it was human beings, there was a lot to deal with there. what about the ad side of it. general motors is the first corporate spawn tore to pull the plug on twitter. they said we're engaging with twitter to understand the direction of the platform under their new ownership, as is

normal course of business with a significant change in a media platform we've temporarily paused our paid advertising. pete. >> this is corporate virtue signaling. the mob will come after anyone who advertises at twitter because elon musk is in charge. general motors will make a business decision. we've experienced this for years. based ton pressure of the mob advertisers will go away. however, if that vehicle, tv, radio, social media is an effective place to advertise they'll come back 6 or 12 weeks later and start advertising again. if musk turns it around general motors will be back. they are serving the interests of the blue check marks. ultimately if musk does what he says there will be it will be

more engaging, more people and a better place to advertise. >> harris: i might quote you. i wrote down what you said. where were they when star link was providing things for ukraine that nobody else in the world was? did i miss it when twitter and some of these corporations were giving a shout-out to elon musk for caring enough to give the voiceless satellite? i don't know. we'll move on. >> the good stuff doesn't count. only the fact he is disrupting all of their power. that matters way more. >> harris: we'll move to this. another president biden fact check. he tweeted this on friday. in 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion and paid 0 in taxes. actually it earned twitter's added context stamp the inflation reduction act imposed

taxes on corporations with earnings greater than $1 billion. of the 55 corporations mentioned by biden only 14 had earnings over a billion and eligible. they fact checked him on twitter? >> oh boy, capitol hill and the white house are going to lose their minds that they don't have a loyal soldier willing to block, shadow ban and try to discredit anything that dissents from what they say. the democrats fact checked? white house fact checked by twitter? how dare they. what if twitter became a place where based on listening to dissenting voices they were actually fact check. i don't believe it's possible. let's allow more speech to occur and the best speech will win at

the end of the day. it disrupts their entire assumption if you are a democrat politician or candidate you can count on the echo chamber to reinforce their points whether they are true or not. if twitter were to actually step in and do this, new information to new voters, very scary for democrats and a more robust conversation. >> harris: i would just add protected speech by either side that you might agree with. we don't want -- the ayatollah is still on twitter. we know they hate us and so they just -- as i said all along no matter who he fires it has to be somebody. i know musk is forming a council that can watch for threats. >> twitter should be an american company. maybe the enemies of america abroad shouldn't be allowed to bash our country. pete hegseth, good to have you.

thank you. >> thanks. >> harris: so the left is actually upset about this as well and some canceled luke bryan. look for yourself. >> welcome to the stage governor ron desantis. [cheers and applause] >> harris: luke brian is not going to back down against the woke mob. remember when the biden administration allowed haitian migrants to live in squall or under a bridge. how about putting them at guantanamo? let's figure out the ways we can allow the border to be open, allow for illegal immigration to come into our country. >> harris: that's part of the reaction from republicans and people across the country. a new report about what could put hundreds of migrants at guantanamo bay. what happened to just securing the border?

>> harris: texas authorities arresting illegal immigrants for trespassing at a popular crossing area after a local rancher agreed to start pressing criminal charges. nate foye has more from normandy, texas where he got to ride along with dps. i know dps has been working with ranchers to get them to be part of the legal process so that the state can get involved because border patrol is overwhelmed. >> that's correct. up until yesterday the migrants

who would come onto this ranch were not arrested. now many will face criminal trespassing charges. a smaller group arrived on this private ranch in normandy and how it works. 100 yards to my right is the rio grande. migrants make their way through the dense brush. you see they have to belt to prop up the fence and change out of wet clothes. a group of almost 400 yesterday but first i want to show you the newest group to cross the border illegally in eagle pass this morning. look at this video. this group was between 150 and 180 migrants. many of them cubans and columbians, what we have seen throughout the week. also venezuelans. they'll be deported to mexico. look at the infrared drone video. the biggest group all week, 400

migrant crossed the rio grande coming onto this private ranch. a lot of single adult men. 59 of them were arrested for criminal trespassing. look at these pictures. the ranch owner has cleared the way for texas dps to arrest and charge migrants who come onto their property. more migrants would have been arrested if the local jails had more capacity. these migrants, though, are not trying to hide and many are. take a look at this ride along with tech as dps chasing runners in the middle of the night. they arrested 4, 3 from honduras, one from mexico. the mexican gentleman said he will plan on trying to get back in illegally again after he gets deported to mexico. i can confirm in the past 48 hours border patrol encountered five sex offenders trying to enter the country illegally.

>> harris: when they come over here they've already broken the law because they entered illegally along fencelines with opening. that ought to be strike one. when they come back into the country there should already be a record with them but often there is not and they keep sending them back and back. every time they come, that's breaking our law and that should count for a reason to deport them permanently in some way, shape or form. i know texas is trying to do that, too. good to see you. thank you, great reporting. the biden administration eyeing a third country now, maybe even guantanamo bay as a potential option to house the surge of people coming from haiti who are expected to cross our southern border. they do it every day but okay. it comes about a year after thousands of haitians were living in squalor under the international bridge in texas. it forced officials to fly many

of them back to haiti or release them into the united states. oh yeah, because they had a real freak-out point with the biden administration when they saw this. remember, i did an interview with the head of the border patrol union who told me they were trying to ask border patrol agents whether or not it was real. could they make it go away? they didn't think it was real. the secretary of dhs mayorkas's office asking those questions. here is florida congressman. >> i don't understand why this administration can't follow current law and secure our border and return these individuals to their host countries. let them file their asylum claims if they want to. let them go through the immigration process that our country has set up where we take in more immigrants a million each year. follow current law instead of trying to figure out all the ways to allow the border to be

completely open. >> harris: mike waltz of florida, member of the house armed services committee, great to see you today. can you speak to what this congressman is talking about? why are all these gymnastic happening in terms of let's come up with this idea. why not just deal with the problem. close the border, get things under control? >> yeah, great question. just follow the law. that really is the extent of it and representative stubey said it right. and the caribbean on top of what is happening on the southern border, in the caribbean haiti is descending into chaos. i was with the vice admiral of the coast guard and they have had a 300% increase in interceptions of people trying to flee by boat. by the way, it is not just the land border.

we have thousands and thousands of miles of coastline that also has to be protected and the coast guard and navy right now can only intercept about 10% of what it sees on radar. so i just want to take this a bigger picture for a second, though. biden has got to pay attention to the western hemisphere. we have a crisis in central america. the caribbean, cuba, haiti are about to devolve into another crisis, a big push left in south america with lula in brazil and columbia and biden has barely mentioned it much less gone. he sent kamala and jill biden down there. >> harris: why is that? >> our trade, our energy, our food supply is all right here in the western hemisphere. you know who is there? russia and china. they are there big time. this administration is completely absent. i don't know what he is doing in

delaware every weekend, but this is crisis after crisis and they aren't taking it on. they don't have a serious policy of american leadership and engagement right in our own hemisphere. >> harris: and the white house press secretary has said what he is doing right now from delaware is trying to help democrats win from delaware. >> right. >> harris: from delaware. >> from the basement again. it won't work and we'll have a red wave in eight days. >> harris: country star luke bryan is fighting back after he invited ron desantis on stage raising money for the victims of hurricane ian. >> we're going to have some fun and raise some money tonight. [cheers and applause] let's welcome to the stage governor ron desantis. [cheers and applause]

>> harris: the reaction in social media among liberals was down right vicious. one person tweeted sad and seriously disappointing. fu luke bryan. we cleaned that up. note to self, cancel luke bryan. bryan responded i understand desantis is a polarizing figure. if a governor asks you to help raise awareness to a natural disaster, you help. >> you have to just appreciate the hypocrisy here. number one, it was to raise money for victims of what has been a devastating hurricane. not a political event. even if it was, artists do political events for democrats all the time. i guess that's okay. but to try to bring awareness to

the devastation from hurricane ian not okay. you know what else was in that video, harris? the overwhelming cheers of the people of florida for their governor. they love their freedom and want to keep more of their money in their pocket and parents determining what their kids learning in schools and they don't want to be locked down and businesses flourishing. i take the cheers from the crowd for their governor to be just as encouraging as a nonsense you face on twitter and total hypocrisy and everybody sees through it. >> harris: when you look at the event where you started it brought back the images of people trapped on sanibel island who couldn't get off if not by helicopter and boat. you couldn't pull up boats for a while. everything was gone to tie your boat to, all the docks were gone. the governor promised to get it done expeditiously. some said it would take a year or two.

he got it done in 60 days for people to get on and off the island. that's not a political thing. that's a human survival thing. >> absolutely right. it is also a governor and mentality here in florida of just get it done. just focus on the objective and there is -- >> harris: democrats can choose that, too. >> they should or they can fall into the same bureaucratic timelines that all too often happen and why so many people are leaving those states and coming to this state. even in the worst of the disaster we came together as fellow americans and floridians with a governor who wants to lead, with local officials who are going to do what they have to do to get the job done. and that's it. what else that concert and that site is about is about helping first responders, the families of first responders, national guardsmen and women.

1200 of whom just returned for an overseas tour and helping those who sacrificed so much to help their fellow americans. if you want to try to cancel that, good luck. go to some other state but not here in florida. >> harris: congressman waltz of the great state of florida. thank you for being in "focus" today. >> all right, thanks, harris. >> harris: mid-term elections on a potential red tidal wave approaching. president biden is being called an emergency 2020 nominee who needs to decide soon on 2024. an emergency nominee. that's an interesting thought. like we have some emergencies right now, inflation, gas prices. it's all coming from democrats and the liberal media, of course. and as mid-term voters keep telling pollsters, inflation is top of mind, democrats keep saying don't look at us. republicans will make things worse if they win next week.

>> we went from a booming economy two years ago to basically an economy that's in the ditches. it's time for a change. i think people realize it and they realize words will not work. we have to do something.

at newday usa we give veterans the va cash out loan with no upfront costs for an appraisal or termite inspection. no upfront costs at all. let us get your family security of cash in the bank.

>> harris: a "new york times"

reporter says democrats shrugged off president biden's age when they pushed his nomination in 2020. the only thing that mattered then was putting him in the white house. >> biden was essentially an emergency nominee in 2020 because the entire criteria of the party who can beat trump? he was the answer. but there was not a lot of thought given to longer-term planning. they now have a near 80-year-old incumbent president and relying on somebody last on the ballot to come in as their closer. >> harris: did anybody bother to ask biden about his policies? that might ride right alongside whether or not you care about how old he is. now president biden's age is becoming a big concern on the left as he faces questions whether he is running for a second term. the hill headline. will he or won't he? pressure mounts on biden for post mid-term decision. power panel now, charlie hurt opinion editor from the

washington times and marie harf is here former state department spokesperson under president obama. fox news contributors. charlie, i'll go to you. with democrats describing biden as an emergency candidate in 2020, he wasn't that young then. shouldn't this have been about policies and other things? >> exactly. you are exactly right, of course. picking biden, the reason the democrats wound up picking biden. they couldn't agree on any other candidate talking more about issues. this is a much larger, longer problem that democrats have manage to put off for a long time. easier to put it off under barack obama because everybody in the party loved barack obama. they didn't get down to the thorny issues about some of these actual issues around which the democrat party agrees.

donald trump won not because he was a nice guy but he had the right issues and he talked about issues that republicans like and so did democrats. the whole tea party fight that republicans have been through, republicans are emerging from is about to start happening in the democrat party. and whether it's war or these economic things, they can't gather around those issues. >> harris: what will this look like? marie, i want you to watch something with me. "saturday night live" gets back to its job and being funny. that might not be a good thing for democratic candidates. they made a parody movie trailer called 2024. >> president biden has said he intends to run for re-election in 2024. >> i know he is a little old but he could still win, right? he beat trump. >> can he beat desantis? >> i don't know.

>> i don't know! >> if biden is not going to run, who will? >> i don't know, kamala? >> harris: oh man. marie harf, your reaction. it is snl. you are laughing already. >> look, it is "saturday night live." there is a lot of bed wetting that goes on in the media and democratic circles every four years who our nominee is going to be. joe biden beat donald trump handily in 2020. if donald trump runs again i believe joe biden can win again. the real issue, harris, i think democrats are squarely focused on the next eight days and what happens in the senate and house and we'll figure out presidential politics. democrats feel good about their

chances because of -- >> harris: you want joe biden to run again after some of the recent gaffes that haven't just been about what could be quip and funny, really underestimating what russia would do to ukraine, how to exit afghanistan. let's do it this way. those are the things that matter. don't they matter to democrat voters? >> they do but you know what else matters to democratic voters? joe biden brought the world together to confront russia. he has student loan debt done and inflation reduction act passed that will lower prescription drug prices. there are a lot of things joe biden has done in a very tough economic situation. the democratic and independent voters really like. if you have joe biden against donald trump i will take my party's chances any day in that race, harris. >> harris: you made it about the mid-terms in eight days. joe biden is not against all the

republicans on the trail. he is at home in delaware and barack obama is doing it. last quick thought and we'll move, charlie. >> i think the problem that democrats had in 2020 is the same problem they have now. they can't agree about something talking about ideas. their ideas are wrong and bad and, of course, that's what this mid-term is all about. it's about how bad democrat ideas are. >> harris: we have to be quick here. home heating. the president could even tap that reserve. new england 3.31 up $2.50 in the last year. connecticut 3.40 also up by that amount. it is getting cold on the east coast. marie, go. >> presidents can do very little about energy prices. biden tried to in a number of ways and you'll start to see that in people's bills. >> harris: charlie. >> the frontal assault on energy

independence in am is something the president and the president alone did. and that's why we're seeing these gas prices like this. >> harris: eight days. i know you are optimistic. but i don't think you can turn it around. it will be cold out by the time elections happen next tuesday in many parts of the country.
