>> rachel: you can see they are not shy in staten island at all. i love it. another stat i wanted to run by you guys, 40% of small businesses in america have not paid their rent. in october and in new york city it's up to 45%. so we're going to be talking to some small business owners when we come back to some more diners because that's a big issue as well, the economy, inflation, and how it's affecting american families. back to you guys. >> steve: thank you very much, rachel, we will be checking in. she was talking about small businesses. we just were discussing with charles payne the fact that there is a new survey out during the month of october. 40%. 40% of america's small businesses could not pay their rent. which shows you the state of the economy and right now the democrats would like you not to to focus on that but it's not good. >> ainsley: don't forget that don't forget what these policies are doing to your family. shutting down the schools as you

had mentioned. can't pay your bills. keeping the border wide open. it is just -- it's been devastating for our country. look at your 401(k). you are not better off right now compared to where you were when trump was in office. today we are in staten island. tomorrow we're going to be in texas. thursday arizona. you will be down in florida on friday. it monday, we're going to have a live audience on election day next tuesday, our whole weekend crew and lawrence jones will be one in wisconsin, one in georgia and one in pennsylvania, and one in florida. gearing up for the election and it's exciting next week. >> steve: taking the pulse of the people. >> brian: mark penn a consultant for bill clinton and hillary clinton. a long time democratic pollster tends to be nor in the middle now. looking at the numbers. very well respected. that's why this "new york times" headline and op-ed caught our eye. the headline is why a pro-trump conservative might win the new york governor's race. he looked at what's going on right now. he sees the number one issue is

crime as well as inflation. and he sees that governor hochul has no ground game. the democrats don't. they haven't needed it. is talking about trump and abortion and ignoring crime. in fact, in denial. here's an excerpt from it the story of the 2022 election could be democrats overestimating how much voters compared about january 6th and the ties to donald trump and republicans like mr. zeldin. she is running ads right now nonstop in new york about zeldin and trump. by constructing a campaign rose garden those concerns and not threats posed by crime, immigration. hinojosa and over democrats nationwide real risk of not facing up to the mood of the electorate at a time of pressure and fear. and she made it worse. she actually insulted people who said that crime is high and a concern. that you are data deniers. and that people are ginning up the nature of crime. if you are paranoid we will deal with it. the numbers say you have no reason to be. the numbers say we have every reason to be. murders and shootings are down

slightly. not anything else. >> steve: right. the cover of the "new york post" this morning crazy kat and it "new york post" depicting her. she is wearing a little tinfoil hat right there where she is talking about paranoia. the g.o.p. conspiracy to convince people crime is rising. you know what? she calls republicans data deniers. let's just look at the data itself. the "new york post" this morning has the crime stats for new york city 2019 to today. murders up 32%. robberies up 32%. felony assault is up 24%. burglary is up about 50%. grand larceny is up about 20%. and grand theft auto, get this. is up 148%. so she doesn't want you to believe your lying eyes, there is a crime problem happening here in new york state. and she is the governor. this is all happening on her watch. >> ainsley: mark penn. >> steve: look at that how can she say everything is safe.

>> ainsley: every day. and mark penn writes in his article that rapes are up 11% in new york city. subway ridership remains depressed with regular stories of people being pushed onto the tracks. ran rasmussen dom muggings and random shooting on a brooklyn train. talks in the article what san francisco did. voters recalled the d.a. out there because of all of the crime. will new yorkers do the same thing with our current governor because she is not doing enough for crime and then she is say that this is all blown out of proportion and we are making all of this up joe biden won this state by 23 points and they are -- the polls are neck and neck with zeldin and hochul. some have her up by single digits? >> brian: so on friday, they announce governor desantis was coming saturdays to do a rally. they had 7,000 rsvps by 4:00. they had though shut do down ended up 1,000 parking lot on long island. she has event the next day 175 people with the first lady.

yesterday she had hillary clinton. if you want to know how valid and how real his chances are, lee zeldin. you get governor desantis on a saturday to come, you know it's real. you get governor youngkin i think one ever the hottest endorsers out there right now because what he did in a blue state and that's called win, he appeared in west chester with lee zeldin yesterday in front of what was it 500. >> ainsley: 500 people. >> brian: if you are glenn youngkin, you can only go to places to have an effect. for him to show up. that says a lot. >> ainsley: look at the number of people in the crowd that does say a lot, brian. >> steve: and the fact that the first lady will be with kathy mobiling on thursday just four or five days before the election. so much early voting goes on. some people have already made up their minds that they're looking at those images. they know they are terrified to go outside. and i was talking to a friend who has connections to brooklyn. every person he knows who is a democrat but rides the subway is thinking about voting for lee

zeldin because they have got to use the subway to make money to get to their jobs. and if they can't, you know, they lose their job. they don't feel like kathy hochul is helping them out when it comes to crime. she says hey, don't believe your lyin' eyes. they believe their eyes and the subways here in new york city are dangerous. we are going to talk lee zeldin who has been a victim of crime himself over the last couple of months. remember at that rally guy came up with a sharp key chain thing and then, of course, his daughters were studying inside their house. he was at a columbus day event, and there was a shooting in his front yard. he knows firsthand that there's a problem. the governor apparently does not. >> ainsley: he also talked about rikers island the corrections officer stand 5 sometimes. day after day people are thrown on to subway tracks. the long island dad was at a parent's weekend at marist college and went down to the hotel to get a cup of coffee

like we all do in the hotel area. >> steve: a nice marriott. >> ainsley: was shot and killed. we need to clean up new york city. back in 1994. a republican governor was elected, pataki beat cuomo know in 94 and we haven't seen a republican governor since then. >> brian: republican congresswoman in staten island are tough fight to get another two years there. >> here is nicole mall talks. >> i would say crime is probably the top issue right now. we have a governor who refuses to fix the laws what they are reading with every day. what they are seeing with their own eyes is not real. that's what she is telling them i know the people on staten island are fired up to vote for him. i know the people on long island where lee zeldin currently represents is also fired up. so we just need to make sure that people get out to vote.

i talk to democrats, independents and republicans they see there is a desperate need for balance at the state level and federal level. >> it all comes down to motivation. who can motivate their side to get out and vote? and right now if you are angry with the situation on the border and crime, and fiscal responsibility, you are motivated to vote the people out who will currently are in charge. >> ainsley: inflation and crime. those are the issues. >> brian: don't forget about'8" congratulation. mayor adams against the governors, not governor hochul. she sat it out. the tent cities, the hotel rooms, are the bus dropoffs whatever it was she had no interest in it. people would say where is some leadership here? whatever you want to say about mayor adams at least he was trying to do something. >> that leads back to joe biden. joe biden's migration policies. >> ainsley: the president, joe biden, is calling on congress to punish oil and gas companies if they don't use their profits to help lower fuel prices. >> steve: yeah, right.

joe biden's latest attack on fossil fuel and the industry comes just one week before the midterms. he has got to look like he is doing something although that tax won't work. >> brian: it hasn't in the past. lucas tomlinson live at the white house with the latest blame game. >> good morning, guys. just one week before the midterm elections. critics are calling this potential hail mary by the president delivered from the roosevelt room. >> oil companies, record profits today are not because of doing something new or innovative. their profits are a windfall of war. the windfall from the brutal conflict that's ravaging ukraine and hurting tens of millions of people around the globe. >> the oil and gas industry firing back in a statement, quote. the president rails against big oil profits and shareholders of the same day his senior energy advisers in the middle east telling the global industry that more investment is needed in the oil and gas sector and is needed right now. you won't have more investment in a sector if there is no

potential return. that is how capital markets work. yet, this is seemingly lost on the white house. not lost on the white house, guys, president biden's failed everyday every effort over the summer flying all the way saudi arabia to convince the saudi prince pump more oil. they thought they had a deal. instead cut oil production 2 million barrels a dale. environmentalists are outraged saying biden should be looking at more alternative sources and extract more oil company profits. policies with questionable results. emails obtained from fox news digital, biden's climate czar john kerry environmental groups writing to him, quote: i think biden has the executive authority to take a range of steps to end new coal financing, starting with appreciating u.s. banks funding. another group we would be grateful for a bit of time to discuss as we see this as one of the major political outcomes. of course, time and very short supply here with the midterm elections just a week out. and, guys, the oil and gas

industry says without fossil fuels we would still be burning wood for fuel and a hell of a lot more trees would be cut down, guys. >> brian: absolutely. that's what they're doing in europe, lucas, thanks so much. they are collecting wood because they are out of gas. just so amazing to me where the president has done the impossible. he has alien nateed the saudis, 2 million less barrels of oil a day. he has alienated -- he stopped oil and gas, he has discouraged investment in oil and gas and then is he going to vilify the oil and gas companies for being in existence and making a profit because they are not allowed to drill substantially, causing the problems to go up. >> steve: his administration is not allowing the issuance of permits. it's at the lowest level since the truman administration. >> ainsley: and fuel suppliers are being warned about diesel shortages as we roll into the colder months. >> steve: scary. it's 7:15 now here in the east. and we are learning lots, carley, about that guy who tried to apparently kidnap or kill

paul pelosi. >> carley: that's exactly right. nancy pelosi says her husband is making steady progress as he recovers from friday's attack. that update coming the day federal prosecutors charged the alleged attacker with assault and attempted kidnapping. san francisco's district attorney also charging david depape with attempted murder. he could face life in prison. according to court documents, depape told investigators he planned to take house speaker nancy pelosi hostage adding that he planned to break her kneecaps if he caught her lying. this as ice tells fox news that depape, a canadian, who immigrated to the u.s. about 20 years ago, has long overstayed his visa. depape is set to be arraigned later today. a group of thieves getting tricked after breaking into a shoe store in fort worth, texas. the three burglars make it past several complex security precautions, set up by the owner or so they thought. they began bagging boxes of

herself and injecting something into the conversation that the candidate may not want out there i would be worried about hillary clinton. in terms of president obama. it will be interesting to see, you know, what he says because i think his message has been so all over the place recently. whether it's sort of decrying wokeism on, you know, one podcast and reverting back to his 2012 message about paul ryan pushing granny over the cliff and getting rid of -- cuts to medicare. and social security. i think we'll have to see. >> ainsley: harold, they are keeping joe biden out of these battleground states. they are sending in president 44 for this. will he help take some of those democrats over the edge? >> well, thanks for having me on. i think a couple things. with regard to new york. the one place you would want to send hillary clinton is here. this is where she has won. this is where she was elected to the senate as you noted at the outset. and midterms are about

electrifying and energizing your base. she will help energize the base in new york. >> ainsley: probably the only state she can do that. >> in might be a handful if not the only state want her in if you look at the battle grounds. not surprised the most guy in our party barack obama might actually be mitchell. i'm surprised she is not also out on the it. this happens every year. you send most popular players. best political athletes out to help your candidates. particularly in a midterm. that's what's happening here. can democrats overcome crime? can they overcome inflation? can they overcome border security and can republicans overcome some of the disparities i saw senator scott on and i saw the congresswoman from staten island on your show this morning talking about what they want to do in congress senator scott has a different plan. when you talk about president obama talking about social security and medicare what he is doing demonstrating a difference between what the renew america wants to do and commitment to america want to do. best thing about markets they

get settled and we will get this market settled here in six or seven days not seven or eight days if there is a runoff and voters will decide who they want. put every political athlete you have that's gifted democrat or republican. if you don't put them on the feeding in the last week you are not going to get the benefit from them. >> ainsley: brian, harold is right. you have to look at the issues. they might be going to see president obama, because he is a hero to the party and he is sim -- is he a celebrity. >> he is, yeah. >> ainsley: are they going there just to see him or will that help some of these democrats or are they just going because is he so popular. >> that's the problem. he has never been a great closer for anyone else but himself. if you look at his performance in the midterms, he was a part of, it didn't go very well. so, you have got obama on the stage. and he will do a great job for obama. but the point is you have.com pettive races here he needs to help with. they are putting personalities out there. they don't have a closing argument. you look at immigration. you look at crime. you look at the economy and, worse, you look at inflation.

there is no argument there. they are out there trying to change the narrative. it's too late in the game to change the story. so, yes. it will rally a little bit of the base. but those key middle voters i don't think they are persuaded. >> polling shows it's still tight. point oall the issues that you want. i won't quarrel with people that say that democrats should have had a better plan, perhaps on crime and maybe on border security. that issue is not resonating with voters. midterms are always tight races anyone who denies that energizing your base whether republican or democrat midterm ignoring of the history of midterms. >> banking a lot on hillary clinton energizing folks in new york. i will believe it when i see that. >> we will see. >> ainsley: isn't it interesting when you look at neck and neck races and policies look at pennsylvania fetterman is so radical but doing well. >> pennsylvania is a great example of why the president obama might not work in the

midterms and i agree with harold that you do put your best players on the stage president obama is hugely popular figure within the democratic party. i think though, you know, when -- what we have forgotten and i think a lot of progressives have forgotten is that it was obama-trump voters that put president trump over the edge in 2016 in the place like pennsylvania. i was born in wicks bury, pennsylvania. that's exactly the kind of place that put president trump over the top. you can't put that coalition back together because democrats have done nothing to meaningfully reach out to those voters that they lost in 2016. >> ainsley: alexandra, brian, harold, thank you for coming on. >> you bet. coming up as kathy hochul dismisses surge in crime. the nypd taking a different approach. we will tell what you it sand get reaction from dan bongino. plus rachel campos-duffy having breakfast with friends out on staten island.

outside of katie hobbs. kathy hochul is the worst candidate for governor running in the country right now. >> brian: true. >> hands down. listen, i get it. i'm a conservative it's hard for me to be objective on these matters, but i say that with a pure heart. she is just terrible. terrible and the one issue you definitely don't want to down play is voters. there were two things that jumped out at me with that clip. number one, she calls lee zeldin a data denier which i find fascinating because i lived through the nypd transformation under broken windows where they use data to target low level crimes. pull low level criminals off the street and high level crimes stopped happening, too. when you get the guy jumping the turnstile he doesn't go and mug someone on the train. notice she goes and crime is down in democrat states. did you notice she didn't say city because it doesn't matter who runs the state. it matters who runs the city if you have a liberal mayor in a

city attacking the cops, you could have ronald reagan aas the governor. crime is going to go crazy. notice how she said that again it's a manipulation of the message. >> brian: let's not be data deniers. let's adhere to data. robbery is up # 3%. felony assaults up 14%. grand larceny 40%, burglary 30%. do you know the difference? there was crime during the trump years and there was a problem at the border for a wall. no one could deny that trump was trying. offered the national guard to chicago. federal troops out to portland. sat there and people thought over the top directly physical with people out of control with the riots took over the streets of every major city. talked about getting tougher. so, at least trump was addressing it. he is not -- she is not addressing it. how do you expect this thing to close out? because, as you mentioned you do know new york. >> yeah. i was a cop there. this is going to end, i think,

very poorly for kathy hochul. if lee zeldin doesn't win, it's going to be ridiculously close considering the democratic lean of new york state and the city. but, brian, she is in real trouble again. i know cops. here's the problem. most voters do know a police officer or know someone who knows a police officer. and they talk. the ferguson effect and the effect of the george floyd blm riots were real. they just look at the a data. >> rural cities had a big problem after that. conservative run cities although few of them and farther between didn't have this problem in conservative run states. we didn't have a problem down here in martin county. my sheriff said listen, you want to protest, fine. that's your first amendment right. stay on the sidewalk do it peacefully. we will even protect you and make sure nothing hans. we had zero problems with crime down here. this is not -- this is not the case in liberal cities where crime exploded because of a permissive environment kissing criminals' butts.
