able to give their child the gift and confidence that might help them as they deal with whatever medical condition they have and know they are accepted fully in society due to your generosity. we put up the gofundme site. great to meet you, tiffany. thank you for brightening up our morning. >> thank you so much. >> dana: dagen mcdowell is in for harris. >> i've cried many videos from active knee. one week from today until the mid-terms. the house is slipping further away from the democrats. a possible red wave for the gop. i'm dagen mcdowell in for harris and you are in "the faulkner focus." republicans appear ton winning on inflation, crime and immigration and hurting democrats. republicans are predicted to take the house, 236 total seats,

net gain of 23 seats. for the democrats to hold onto power they would now need to win all 26 toss-up races. the best case scenario for democrats right now not so great. a small majority for republicans. the best case for house republicans 249 seats to democrats 186. that's the kind of shift which could be very meaningful. >> it's clear that republicans have the political-momentum one week before election day. biden districts are moving in the lean republican category. >> the govern majority for republicans. not a squeaker night where then you have to find a couple democrat votes to pass anything. a larger governing majority than speaker pelosi has had for the first two years on the biden presidency.

>> races in georgia, arizona, nevada and pennsylvania for the senate are toss-ups. chief washington correspondent mike emanuel has more from d.c. >> good morning. the republican map expands significantly in this fox news power rankings forecast. in new york where crime is the number one issue. new york's fourth district on long island republican candidate anthony esposito, his race against former supervisor shifts from lean democrat to toss-up. west coast california's 27th district in northern l.a. county is shifting. mark garcia is facing christie smith. it was a toss-up. now the projection is lean republican. nevada three democrat susie lee. republican april becker is the challenger. this race moves from toss-up to lean republican. movement for democrats in our power rankings alaska at large

is moving from toss-up to lean d. arizona four toss-up to lean democrat. kansas three from toss-up to lean democrat. nebraska two from likely republican to lean republican. new hampshire one from toss-up to lean democrat. pennsylvania 17 from toss-up to lean democrat. moving in the direction of the gop california 47 from lean d to toss-up. colorado eight from toss-up to lean republican. connecticut five from lean democrat to toss-up. new york 19 from toss-up to lean republican. north carolina 13 from toss-up to lean r. oregon five from toss-up to lean r. washington eight from lean democrat to toss-up. let's look at the big house table. in the middle in gold are 26 toss-up races. that will have a big impact. our power rankings forecast of 236 republican seats, net gain

of 23 seats assumes each party wins half of the toss-up districts. if republican turnout in those districts is high the gop could win more and make it a red wave election. >> thank you so much for that. jason chaffetz, fox news contributor former utah congressman is here. i want to get to the new "wall street journal" poll. so 71% of people in this new "wall street journal" poll say the economy is on the wrong track. more than half say biden's policies have a negative impact and maybe that's the reason for this. the gop has seen a shift in its favor among several voter groups, particularly white suburban women. that group that make up 20% of the electorate has shifted 26 percentage points away from the democrats since the journal's august poll now favoring

republicans by 15 points. it's the economy, it's inflation. >> yeah, they care about their family. they care about their livelihood and care about what matters most. they're tired of woke politics. they don't want to see their daughter go into a sports locker room and have a dude in there. there are some basic fundamental things. the democrats are in retreat at this point because their policies that they implemented, they have the house, senate, presidency. they aren't willing to continue to embrace those. there are a lot of candidates that are pretending to be conservative republicans that are trying to say oh, we're not really a democrat. the poster child for that is mark kelly in arizona. to say he is working hard on the border and that he holds biden accountable, those are the television ads he is running. nobody believes that in arizona. arizonians are smarter than that. i think it will be a horrific night for democrats but their own doing, it's their own

policies. >> as the "wall street journal" says. democrats occupy the left bank of denial. instead of acknowledging the problem they deny the problem exists at all. there is a 40-year high in cost of living crisis and they act like it is not real and joe biden recently said the economy is strong as hell. i -- i want to move to this. there is so much to cover, jason. instead of campaigning, president biden was taking the time to hand out halloween candy at the white house. for more than an hour with the election a week away he avoided some battleground states that helped get him elected but he is heading to south florida hosting a rally to support val demings and charlie crist. they trail respectively. senator marco rubio and governor desantis. the guardian said democrats

insist joe biden's low mid-terms profile is smart strategy. a political an sis said to the extent he is less visible and maybe invisible is a plus for democrats because it lets the candidates run their own campaigns on their own issues. out of sight, out of mind. their own issues are biden issues. the democrats have controlled the senate, the house, and the pres presidentsy. >> nobody wants to be seen with joe biden. you aren't sure he will remember the names of the candidates. it is a question of what kind of gaffes will we see and clips they'll get out there. if i'm marco rubio or governor desantis hal, we have joe biden calming to town. let them remind america that's the leader of their party and that's what they're for. the president of the united states a week to go has got eight events, i think. kamala harris is nowhere. she is not an asset.

they've had barack obama out there. but even he is off message. he can't seem to get on message. this is where the democrats -- they are just caught. they have to live with what they did. >> speaking of what's been done president biden ramping up attacks on big oil with some of his harshest words and threats yet. listen. >> president biden: oil companies, record profits today are not because they're doing something new or innovative. their profits are a windfall of war. the windfall from the brutal conflict ravaging ukraine. any company receiving profits like this has a responsibility to act beyond their narrow self-interest. lowering prices for consumers at the pump. if they don't, they will pay a higher tax on their excess profits and face other restrictions. >> so a windfall profits tax. the head of the u.s. oil and gas association not having it. part a statement reading what

the white house is saying is that the government will begin dictating a required level of oil and gas investment designed to increase production via the tax code while simultaneously phasing out oil and gas investment via another part of the tax code. chest pounding against a particular industry and its millions of workers is a weak closing argument for mid-terms that are not going your way. this from the rnc, quote, joe biden is lying since his first day in office he has attacked american energy with the help of congressional democrats. americans know that under biden and democrats, gas prices are higher, groceries are more expensive and real wages are down. jason, it's desperation. >> it is. so what joe biden is saying is that he is going to raise taxes. when you raise taxes, guess what? you are saying it will become more expensive. that's not the prescription of how to solve our energy problem.

what you need to do is encourage the industry and get additional players to participate. they are not going to get more participants when they are saying we're going to shut down your industry and we're going to force you to do things you don't want to do. so this is all joe biden's policy. he could go out there and try to blame putin but that has never been the right excuse. the prices will continue to go up because joe biden wants them to go up. and he is just admitting it right now that high increased taxes will make the price of fuel and diesel go up. >> they've already raised taxes on this industry. new corporate minimum tax in the inflation reduction act. $12 billion tax on crude oil and petroleum products and new natural gas tax. i have pages of things that the administration has done to hamper the power and prosperity of not just our energy industry but all americans by design.

i think that the "wall street journal" op-ed sums it up best and quick final word. the president who has done everything in his power to limit u.s. oil investment is now furious that he succeeded. quick final word. >> he has and we're living with the consequence. if you want a difference result will you have to elect different people. the president's policy increases energy. that hurts americans. >> jason chaffetz. good to see you. a live look at columbus, ohio. bret baier and martha maccallum will be there to top to voters among their top issues during the fox news town hall. j.d. vance and tim ryan are in a dead heat in the race for the senate. there with inflation top of voters' minds both candidates are pitching themselves as the best to tackle it. be sure to tune in tonight 6:00 eastern time. and it would be a very cold

winter for too many americans. the cost of heating oil at an average of $5.70 a gallon last month. that's up 70% from the same time last year. the northeast is so short on oil supplies, fuel oil, that it is being rationed. fox business correspondent is live in new jersey. >> families will be paying a lot more to heat their home this winter. you look at home heating oil as an example. if a family bought their year's worth of oil today they pay $2 thousand more than they would have last year. this is a discount home heating oil company and their prices you can see how much they've gone up in the past year from under $3 a gallon and today they're charging $5.40. part of it is a lack of inventory. the entire east coast is struggling to access home heating oil at a time when our

diesel supplies are at a very low level. right around a 25-day supply compared to our 40-day supply in reserve. they're concerned about meeting customer demand. >> the top concern is availability of product. years ago when we had a shortage of supply on the east coast here where most of the heating oil is used they would bring it in from europe. but now europe is using it all for their own use because of the gas shutdowns from russia. and now we don't have that ability to export from -- or import from europe to here. >> here is the thing. even if you don't use home heating oil expect costs to go up as the temperature drops. natural grade that services massachusetts and part of new york have been approved for a 64% increase in electricity costs for that winter. that higher cost goes into effect today.

you know, costs matter a lot to us, the consumers. when i talk to businesses like i said they are really concerned about access. this company has had to ration oil. right now they aren't currently there but they're looking at that. customers that say i want to fill up my entire tank may only be able to get a portion at a time as project becomes available on the market. >> thank you for that. madison. the red hot senate race in pennsylvania could decide the balance of power. big guns headed to pennsylvania as democrat john fetterman's hometown newspaper gave him a vote of no confidence. plus the liberal media pulling out all the stops as republicans gain ground with voters. >> democrat party and media say the republicans oppose democracy. they don't believe in separation of powers, they don't like the constitution. how many people have you heard say let's get rid of it? it is they burning down the democracy.

>> hard core hand wringing even for the liberal media. republicans gaining momentum with one week before the mid-term election. according to some, that is wildly dangerous. >> election day is just days away. at stake, possibly the future of our democracy. >> democracy doesn't usually die through coups or invasion but from within. >> the republican party is gripped by people who are election deniers. >> i don't think we're alarmist enough. i think we need to stop being

asleep at the switch and sound the alarm. more about what could happen if election denialists are, you know, in power. >> critics calling this out as fear mongering and liberal cheerleading. joe concha fox news contributor and columnist for the hill is here. wow. >> that's the word i would use. let me see if i get this straight. this isn't a clip from the view or msnbc, this is cbs news. for them to push this sort of rhetoric when they say the republican party is full of election deniers have they met hillary clinton and stacey abrams? they rejected the results of their elections. if we get this straight now, democrats appear to be saying if people vote against their party in districts and states across the country one week from now and the result means a change in power in washington from the democratic to the republican party that's the end of democracy as we know it?

actually voting is the very essence of democracy. i have a hard time believing that this is really resonating with independent voters or blue dog democrats who may be on the fence as far as how they will vote in a week. if anybody thinks people will say i'm struggling to pay for food, rent and electric bills and i don't feel as safe as i used to a couple of years ago. screw that, i will vote to save democracy instead. it is some of the best unintentional comedy out there. if that's the closing argument from the blue team and allies in the media they're in serious trouble on november 8th. >> i wrote down in my thoughts. democracy at work when people exercise their right to vote and vote based on the issues that matter to them, inflation and the economy, democracy at work is a risk to democracy. that's what jerry baker gets to in his column. if you want to talk about denial, it is denial by the democrats who have been in

power, the executive branch and legislative branch, for over a year and a half. their denial that not edge they created these problems but there is a problem at all. >> it's like being an alcoholic and not admitting the first step that you have a problem. that's the only way you tackle something like this. you look at georgia, and you see they are again voting in record numbers and yet the democrat running for governor down there insists that voter suppression is still happening despite people getting to the polls and getting there easily without anybody being suppressed. it is getting boring at this point when they keep screaming this over and over again on other networks and really don't have anything to back it up. now do they? here is where we are and why you see the momentum behind republicans. they are talking about things that matter to people. the border, immigration, education and not just inflation and crime. >> i heard somebody say

inflation destroys society and that really stuck with me. speaking of destruction, critics lighting up the view hosts over the halloween day show accusing the show of using children in costumes to mock republicans with the mid-terms one week away. the hosts, boy, they were eating it up. >> one of the hugest topics you guys talked about this year, the raid on trump's mar-a-lago estate. >> yes. [cheers and applause] >> what did he do? he flushed them down the toilet. we have trump as a toilet with our f.b.i. agents. here we have our dr. oz. [cheers and applause] >> we have the broccoli and sauce and -- >> critics lashing out calling the spectacle insane and deranged. joe, what say you? >> this is trump derangement

syndrome times ten. it is sick. i have a first and third grader with the halloween parade and no one was dressed up as f.b.i. agents. using kids as props to make a political statement and thinking it is funny. abc continues to take this train wreck of a show under its news division. mccain left and nothing good to say. it is a hate fest. now it's a boring one that i would think it's become the one thing that barbara walters didn't want the show to become. it is become predictible and co-hosted by some of the most unlikeable people on the planet. another black eye for "the view." >> i thought if kids dressed up as law enforcement their heads would have exploded and they would have been talking about child abuse. what is someone this year

dressed up as john fetterman, oz's opponent. i button it up with that. joe concha, thank you so much. another scary scene playing out at our southern border. agents in texas swarmed by a flood of migrants. one border governor is taking matters into his own hands and facing a challenge from the biden administration. bring it on, he says. plus violence on our streets taking center stage for the mid-terms. >> crime is spiking almost every where. democrats are in charge. make no mistake the left and defund, dismantle, no bail movement has wreaked havoc on major cities and towns all across the country. >> america's crime crisis plaguing the nation taking the life of one of hip-hop's top names. how the issue is swaying for theers. former u.s. -- voters. a former u.s. attorney is in

"focus."

>> rapper take-off, a meme was shot and killed in houston overnight. one example of halloween violence in america's cities. also yesterday 14 people, including multiple children, were hurt in a mass drive by shooting in chicago. 1 of 9 mass shootings across the country just yesterday. senior correspondent mike tobin is live in chicago with more. >> a mass shooting you were just talking about in chicago was in the troubled west side of town where blood shed is frequent. 9:30 p.m. local time people gathered for the vigil. an s.u.v. pulled up, two gunmen opened fire and sprayed bullets into the crowd. 14 people injured. witnesses say one man was shot in the head and one person hit by a car in the chaos. the victims are a 3-year-old,

11-year-old and 14-year-old boy. the rest adults. police don't know why someone opened fire on that crowd. >> we always worry about retaliation obviously. but we don't know about this whether it involved a gang conflict or a personal conflict yet. >> and the rap muse im world lost another star to violence. a rapper take-off was shot and killed. the other members of the trio were not injured including off set married to cardi b. with a lot of information coming from tmz there was a private event at a bowling alley. take-off was involved in a dyes -- dice game. philadelphia saw for separate shootings in which three people were killed and brooklyn a man was shot and killed and last a man was shot and killed outside a nightclub all in one night.

>> despite all the violence, new york democrat governor kathy hochul claiming the crime crisis is a gop conspiracy to sway voters. you are looking at the front page of the "new york post" today. a former federal prosecutor, u.s. attorney for utah is here. master manipulators, she calls the gop. and says it is a conspiracy to convince people crime is rising. i can sit here and talk all day with true factual stats about the crime surge in virtually every major city in the united states, brett. >> dagen, good to see you and thanks for having me on. i will say i guess i'm not surprised by anything anymore that we can look at something and, you know, we can tell the american public something different than what is actually happening. that's what the democrats are doing right now. when i talk, i travel the country and i meet with legislators and governors and

leaders in communities and they are all having to deal with a rise in violent crime. and it is in every type of community right now. it is something that we should be aware of. we should be speaking honestly about it and not trying to use as a narrative in order to win an election. this is at its heart the most important element of the government is to take care of its citizens. >> there is an op-ed that the "new york post" did that ran the numbers comparing 2019 before these reforms went into place, reforms and that's a loose definition for that word, including, say, eliminating bail for most offenses. district attorneys turning over millions of documents to defense attorneys on cases that are ultimately pled out. then also making it harder to punish people who violent parole. some of the reforms in new york. comparing the period of 2019 before these policies went into

place to 2022, murders up 32%, robbery up 32%, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny both up double digits. auto thefts up 148%. all major crimes just in new york a more than 32% gain. it's the same problem in places like philadelphia with larry crassner as the d.a. correct me if i'm wrong in chicago they are actually implementing this exact type of bail reform as we speak. >> dagen, reform that doesn't keep the public safe or doesn't consider victims of crime is not true reform. there are plenty of areas in the criminal justice system we can fix. it is not performing well. we're failing when we have a 60 to 70% repeat rate in this country. the answer isn't to eliminate prosecution and the ability of

judges to hold people in custody pre-trial if they pose a threat to the community. that's what most of the crime that we see that is ravaging in these larger cities is the result of criminal justice reform that is not thoughtful or built on the best practices. there are other states that are doing it and doing it far better. >> before we move on, this is the same thing we talked about all show. it's a denial, a denial that people are being hurt by crime and you are literally -- when you call it a gop conspiracy kathy hochul is essentially spitting on the families of people who have been murdered or assaulted across this state. real quick before we go. >> my older sister was a victim of a horrific violent crime. we never caught the perpetrators. for years she has dealt with that. as a family we know what it feels like to not be able to

catch those individuals that have hurt someone so dear to us. it is offensive for this governor to be laying the blame at a gop conspiracy rather than where it really lies. >> offensive for larry krasner saying republicans are racist for talking about it when his policies where he will not enforce the law, those policies are racist. so chaos is continuing at biden's border crisis as it rages on. fox obtaining video out of el paso, texas showing a large group of migrants trying to illegally storm across the border. they were waving huge venezuelan and honduran flags. border agents forced to push them back by firing non-lethal rounds of pepper balls . cbp saying a migrant assaulted an agent with a flagpole.

arizona governor in a -- doocy used shipping containers to seal openings in the yuma border wall. biden says he will go after doocy for trespassing on federal land. doocy saying our communities are overwhelmed by illegal activity. arizona is going to do the job that joe biden refuses to do, secure the border in any way we can. we're not backing down. bret. >> it's one of the greatest failings of an administration to allow what is happening at the southern border. make no mistake, what we're seeing now is not just refugees trying to get across because they want a better life. we're seeing an invasion and we're seeing it on a massive scale and we're seeing a federal government refusing to acknowledge it. so i give total respect to the governors trying to do what they

can do in order to stop it. >> thank you so much for being here. we'll take a deep dive into the key senate race in the keystone state one week to go. president biden and president obama set to make a trip there in a last-ditch effort for john fetterman. every where you being place you look prices going up but democrats say there is nothing biden could have done to stop the tidal wave of inflation. >> the economy has been hurt under president joe biden. we need to reverse the trend. we need to end one-party rule. we could all use extra cash. if you're a veteran and own your home, you've earned a powerful benefit that can really help in uncertain times. it's your va home loan benefit. veterans can get more cash by borrowing up to 100% of their home's value, not just 80% like some other lenders.

>> control of the senate hinging on a handful of key races with just one week to go. brand-new fox news power rankings, the ranksing still have pennsylvania in the toss-up column. dr. oz making his final push and pitch on the issues while fetterman is still trying to calm voters' serious concerns over his health. >> john fetterman can't defend his radical views. they're out of touch with pennsylvania values. >> i choose my real doctors

opposed to some criticism like a real dr. oz. >> fetterman has refused to release his medical records. his home turn newspaper is not okay with that. they say the lack of transparency is the main reason the paper decided to endorse dr. oz. editorial headline despite turbulent senate race oz better prepared to lead. rich edson is live in pennsylvania. rich. >> good afternoon, this is a swing county in pennsylvania. dr. oz will be hosting a campaign event nearby at a firehouse this evening. this is a tight race. swing counties will matter. the latest poll showing that john fetterman, the democrat up 49 to 44% over dr. oz. the times says the poll was largely conducted before last week's debate tuesday.

and the first session with fetterman after his stroke in may. here in bucks county voters say many of the national issues also matter here. >> i lean democratic but i have voted republican in the past. the border, and immigration, and inflation. >> abortion. that is important to me. >> one voter walked by earlier today saying my friends tell me we already have a democrat in the senate. senator bob casey. we need to electric a republican. he is voting for dr. oz. oz's campaign is gaining with republicans, democrats and independents. fetterman campaign aide said the democrat held rallies in bucks county before and launched a republicans for fetterman initiative to try to get voters to cross parties and back him in this race. back to you. >> rich edson is live in the

commonwealth of pennsylvania. i'm right about that, right? people are sensitive being from a commonwealth myself. power panel now, matt gorman former national republican communications director and desirae and president of innovation ohio. great to see you both. desirae, the endorsement of dr. oz from the "post-gazette" in pittsburgh is a scathing piece. they say it's fetterman's lack of transparency and refusing to release his medical records that's troubling and suggests an impulse to conceal and mistrust of the people. his life experience and maturity are also concerns. he still has never apologized for pulling a shotgun on an unarmed black jogger back in 2013. how do you see it? >> i think the lack of endorsement from the newspaper

stings a bit. i won't say it doesn't. because it does. i do think fetterman has ran an awesome campaign and stuck to the issues and i think at the end of the day pennsylvania voters will decide to vote for him despite some of the misgivings. there is no such thing as a perfect candidate. i predict in january pennsylvania will have two democratic senators and so will the state of ohio. >> matt, how do you see it? one of the issues economic, that's the top of the list across the country is fracking. it is the prosperity of the state and fetterman didn't support fracking and now he kind of does. >> it's been overshadowed in the terrible viral debate clip when he seemed lost during the debate. the question was about his position on fracking. he was incoherent on his position. you can't cut away from that debate and have serious concerns

whether he is up to serving in the senate. crime has become a big issue in the northeast as you talked earlier in new york and connecticut. oz has been pummeling fetterman on crime. if he wins the race it is a dark horse and crucial issue that will have won it for him. >> i will let you respond before we move on to the next topic. >> we've heard about crime and the economy. these are real issues that are concerning for many americans across the country and definitely inflation. but i don't think regardless of who is the president or what party would be in charge, this is a world issue right now and so it is about who has the best plan to get us out of this mess. and i believe it's democrats who have the best plan and it will be on to the candidates and their job to convey that message to folks on the ground. we're just a week away from the ballots being counted. >> the pittsburgh pos"post-gaze"

mentions that. i could go through a long list of what fetterman did on the parole board and board of pardons. the only member of the pennsylvania board of pardons to cast a vote to free a man for beating a police officer's 17-year-old son. that's one of many. top of the list issues would be inflation. jen psaki admits inflation is the major issue but not her party's fault. >> when you look at the economy an inflation. when you ask folks who say that they say they'll vote republican by lopsided margins. is there anything democrats could have done, was there a missed opportunity for democrats to not face that? >> inflation is happening around

the world. there is not a lot democrats could have done to change that reality. >> despite trillions of dollars in new spending, federal spending out of the biden administration and borrowing under president biden. he signed off on almost $5 trillion in new borrowing. and with weeks until the mid-terms the poll finds 71% of the voters say the economy is heading in the wrong direction and pessimism about the economy at the highest level in the journal's polling. matt, they could have done something about it. right now -- i don't mean to filibuster. right now people aren't having to make payments on their student loans. that was extended again and again this year. it runs until the end of the year. that's inflationary, period. >> you have plumbers paying for the student loans of lawyers. but she says that but just last

week joe biden was on another cable channel bragging that he was bringing down inflation. i wrote an op-ed for foxnews.com saying the number one missed opportunity democrats have made throughout the last year the fact they have an incoherent economic message. they blame everybody but themselves. putin, big oil, republicans. when things get a little better, gas prices lowered by a few cents they take all the credit in the world. voters see right through that and why careening from message to message with a week out totally listless. >> the spending out of the white house is part of the inflation picture in the united states. voters going to the polls in a week or maybe they've already voted or voting right now, they don't care what's going on in europe. they care about their own pocketbook and you have had $6 thousand in lost purchasing power. the average american is paying

$445 more in september for the same basket of goods compared to a year earlier. >> the reality is under president biden's administration, we have been able to insure that working class people don't have to pay student loans. under republican administration no one complained about the ppp loans to billionaires they haven't paid back. who will help the working class person, right? if you are on social security or medicare you get $140 added to your paychecks. republicans want to cut social security and medicare. >> that's just not true. that is from senator -- all right we have to go. we have to go but let me make it clear senator rick scott put out a plan and every democrat, including i believe president biden tried to lay it on the entire party. it is one senator and it is not true and it got four pinocchios from the "washington post",

period, end of story. they may not want to -- they do not want to cut social security and medicare and americans have become poorer because of runaway inflation that we haven't seen in 40 years. thank you both so much. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus." harris is back tomorrow.
