11:00 am
>> sandra: all new at 2:00, federal reserve announcing yet another big rate hike in hopes of reining in inflation we have not seen in decades. the goals to cool down the soaring prices, it could mean more pain for millions of american families. welcome back as "america reports" rolls into a second hour. i'm sandra smith in new york. >> john: trying to figure out who the young man at the podium was. decision just out, we are watching wall street to see how the markets react and who better
11:01 am
to help us make sense of it all than larry kudlow. he'll be here later on this hour. >> sandra: midterm elections and alarming new numbers for democrats, even though americans say money is their top concern heading into this election, the president is once again turning his attention to maga. all right, well, democrats struggling with midterm messaging and running out of time to fix it, less than one week to election day. >> john: key voting groups moving red and in big shifts. suburban white women and latino voters could be key factors on tuesday. >> sandra: we will be speaking with virginia republican congressional candidate yesli vega, military wife, mother, and law enforcement officer who says it's no surprise. >> john: the president adding a last-minute speech to his agenda, the focus, protecting democracy. >> sandra: critics say it's more
11:02 am
anti-maga talk when he should be talking about inflation and crime. >> now it's inflation and crime, and education too. if you are not paying attention to the polls, you are not paying attention to the people. >> john: "new york times" reports that top democrats are doubting the party strategy, noting they have failed to unite around one central message. >> sandra: and then there is hillary clinton suggesting american voters may not understand exactly what's at stake. >> i'm not sure they really understand the threats to their way of life. >> sandra: charlie hurt will react to that. >> john: he's on deck. but first fox team coverage, mark meredith and grady on the road in ohio and wisconsin, begin in georgia, the economy like so many places is the focus and that is where we find aishah hasnie. >> hi there, john. good afternoon to you and
11:03 am
sandra. look, i've been talking to voters outside of atlanta in rural parts of this state and keep hearing the same thing. [inaudible] >> sandra: all right, so we are going to try to establish connection with aishah hasnie, seems to be a bit of a connection problem there. and a similar story we are hearing meanwhile in wisconsin, where inflation as we just mentioned last hour, the top issue there for voters. overwhelmingly, and a tight senate race. so grady, what are the candidates saying about these high gas prices folks are paying there? >> hi, sandra. senator ron johnson is talking about inflation and high gas prices everywhere he goes. he's done several campaign stops every single day, and it's a focal point for him.
11:04 am
he's blaming democrats for high gas prices and inflation. his progressive challenger, on the other hand, mandela barnes, is not talking so much about gas prices except when we bring it up. i asked him about one of his old tweets from 2015, he said oil is destroying our world. >> you still feel that way and how do you square that with lowering gas prices? >> i'll tell you right now, climate change is having a disastrous impacts on communities across the state and country. we have an opportunity to create thousands of good paying jobs. now also important for us to be energy independent to drive down costs. >> but climate change just doesn't seem to be an issue that's resonating with voters in the badger state. only about 3% of them in our latest fox news poll say it's their top issue, compared to 24% for abortion, and 30% for inflation. senator johnson says green
11:05 am
energy policies like the ones barnes is pushing are causing inflation. >> he's wrong. 80% of america's economy is powered by fossil fuels. this is a fantasy to think we can end fossil fuels. they are trying to do that and that is what has driven up gasoline prices to record levels, diesel is still up. crushing our economy. >> what's interesting, sandra, when you talk to democratic voters they certainly see inflation as a big issue but they see it more as a global problem. they don't blame democratic policies for inflation whereas the republican voters we have talked to certainly do. sandra. >> sandra: ok, grady, john. >> john: turning to ohio, where tim ryan has tried his best to distance himself from president biden. mark meredith live in columbus. what's pushing him away, mark?
11:06 am
>> well, john, i would imagine so many different issues but the way the state has trended in recent elections, good afternoon to you. congressman ryan says he is a proud you democrat but also believes president biden should not run again in 2024. a generational change in his party and he is trying to run more as a moderate, trying to appeal to voters from both parties. just last night we heard some of the same messages, voters had a chance to ask congressman ryan and j.d. vance about a variety of different topics. no surprise, the economy and inflation top of mind. congressman ryan says he supports something that republicans traditionally championed. >> i think when it comes to inflation, we need a tax cut. we need to put money in people's pockets. if we are going to weather the storm here, so a tax cut in the short-term, but then move to natural gas, all in, streamline.
11:07 am
>> the congressman also talking about energy for his part, j.d. vance insists it's because of the spending bills the congressman, as well as his fellow democrats have supported that the country is dealing with record inflation. last night he vowed if he was to be sent to washington that he would rein in spending on the federal level. >> if you stop borrowing, stop the spending, you will reduce price pressures on the overall economy. >> following last night's town hall, vance was on the road launching a bus tour outside of cincinnati, in west chester, ohio, and make another appearance with former president trump on the eve of the election. not to be outdone, congressman ryan launching a bus tour, so both candidates crisscrossing the state and with good reason. the polls show the race is neck and neck, essentially tied. the final days of the election may come down to turnout.
11:08 am
>> john: we'll see what happens a week from yesterday, mark, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: charlie hurt now, washington times opinion editor, charlie, welcome to you. we saw you have an immediate reaction to the sound we played out from hillary clinton earlier so here is more when she was speaking to joy reed. >> i think with all of the noise that we've got in this election season, i don't think people are able to really grasp that, but more importantly, i'm not sure they really understand the threats to their way of life. >> sandra: what do you think about that, charlie? >> well you know, she's been very clear about what she thinks of trump voters, she thinks they are deplorable, but here, she's talking about her own voters, talking about democrats. she can't conceal her contempt for her own voters, for democrat voters. she thinks voters are so stupid that they can't grasp the issues of the election. sadly, the truth is, she's just
11:09 am
talking about the wrong issues and if she wants to find out what voters care about, maybe she should talk to her husband who could remind her it's the economy, stupid. that's what won in 1992, and that's what's going to win this time. it's the economy. that's what people care about. she's talking about the wrong stuff. >> john: certainly is a big concern among suburban women. here is what the wall street journal found, do you support the democrats or the republicans. in august, the democrats were favored by 12 points. but after a 27 point swing, now white suburban women favor the gop by 15 points. charlie, unbelievable change-up of events here for the democrats and for the republicans, and it's really driven by economic issues and as kellyanne conway pointed out schools as well. >> the schools thing is so important, lurking under the surface. the idea the democrats push the only thing women care about is abortion is -- it's insane, it's
11:10 am
like do you talk to women, do you talk to normal voters. you know, all of these issues are important. but when you can't -- when you are paying 3, 4, $five a gallon for gasoline, $300 to fill the grocery cart, people care about that and it's more immediate and they care more about it. all sort of a runoff of this whole idea of identity politics, where you just -- it's sort of like you paint voters in certain boxes and you always go back to those boxes and you treat them as boxes. no, they are people and they are concerned about taking care of their families. >> sandra: charlie, there's a briefing happening at the white house right now, karine jean-pierre is taking questions and as i would say we predicted, the first question out of the gate was about the speech the president is going to deliver apparently from the capitol tonight, we found out about it this morning. and apparently he's going to be talking about our democracy at stake, and she was asked first thing about it and here is what
11:11 am
she said about it. >> the president will continue to call attention to the threat to democratic integrity and to public safety posed by those who deny the documented truth about election results and those who seek to undermine public faith in our system of government. unfortunately we have seen mega maga republican officials who don't believe in the rule of law. >> sandra: so that was her answer to a question, actually that was posed by a reporter specifically is this a campaign event or a white house event. >> right. it's sort of confusing. at this point in the game, everything is a campaign event. but you know, it's one thing to listen to her talk about mega maga, but you listen to the president and he talks about the mega maga stuff. this is the second part of democrat's failed strategy to avoid talking about the economy. they want to talk about donald trump, and this is their way of trying to refocus it. voters are not buying it, what
11:12 am
do they care about? they care about the economy and this is the other thing. in the past couple days, all democrats started talking about how republicans are going to take away people's social security, which is insane, and based on no fact whatsoever, but the reason they are talking about it is because when it actually comes to the economy, inflation, gas prices, they can't even address any of that, because all of their policies have made all of the situations so much worse. >> john: the president's speech is political, no doubt, under the auspices of the dnc across the state. speaking of social security, this was a remarkable event that happened in the twittersphere, twitter changing under elon musk. seniors are getting the biggest increase in their social security checks in ten years through president biden's leadership. all right, so, just left to its own devices people say oh, thank you joe. but, under the new twitter, under elon musk. people who read twitter are
11:13 am
allowed to weigh in and out of context this was cost of living, signed by richard nixon in 1972. so the white house took credit for two things, an act signed by nixon and out of control inflation which led to the increase in social security and then in an unprecedented step, the white house deleted the tweet. >> i cannot think of another example -- >> john: through the uprights. >> can't think of another case where that happened and i think it is a new day and at the end of the day, it's just free speech and people able to speak freely and point out the obvious absurdity some of the things the white house says. >> sandra: love it when you speak freely. good to have you here, charlie. fox news alert, the fed made their big decision announcing top of the hour interest rates going up three-quarters of a percentage point trying to tamp down inflation.
11:14 am
pretty big market reaction as you can see, the dow is in the negative the entire trading day and 2:00 eastern time decision comes out and a rally, 300 points. >> john: democrats relying on former president obama to motivate the base. obama gets set to make his latest campaign stop. >> sandra: and concerning is growing for democrats losing major ground with two voting groups that have helped them win elections for decades now. so, what is the cause for this shift? we'll speak with the mom/military/wife/law enforcement officer trying to flip a democratic district red. >> i don't know about you but i find myself having to go to three different grocery stores trying to make that dollar stretch. and i am tired of a government that no longer reflects the needs or the interests of we the people. are no upfront costs
11:15 am
for appraisal or termite inspections. no upfront costs at all to get the cash you need. veterans get more at newday. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that.

>> sandra: just six days to go to election day, and the democrats are relying on former president obama. today he will stump in arizona where democrats hope to hold on to a senate seat and take the governor's mansion. alicia is live in scottsdale for you. getting ready to hear from a candidate for governor? >> that would be kari lake, the republican, the truck pulled us behind us as we were setting up here. she's going to be talking to voters here in the scottsdale area because she is really in a fight here for the governor's race. let's take a look at some of that fox news polling on the
11:21 am
gubernatorial race here. it remains a one point contest according to the fox news poll. lake now at 47%, the democrat, katie hobbs, 46%. a razor thin toss-up. and gop race, blake masters is within two points of mark kelly. a notable change from august when masters was trailing by 8, he is now within the margin of error. >> rather us than the kelly camp, we have the momentum. grassroots republicans are fired up, libertarians are fired up, also attracting independents. >> masters has managed to bring republicans home since september, jumping from 76% to 85% with his party. kelly has locked in registered democrats at 92% and a large number of independents. that's significant. in 2020, unaffiliated voters were key for president biden's victory in arizona. former president obama who lost
11:22 am
arizona in his runs for president is set to be here from tonight. we have not heard anything about the current president coming and i asked senator kelly about that. >> do you want president biden to come and campaign for you? >> hey, i welcome anybody to come to arizona at any time, spend time in the state, we have a lot of issues we are dealing with, water at the top of the list. >> democratic candidates in tight races accused of avoiding president biden. are you one of them? >> no. >> and sandra, fox news polling additionally is showing that kari lake has more enthusiasm among voters than her democratic opponent. democrats really in a fight here as well. sandra. >> sandra: we are watching it so closely. thank you. john. >> john: sandra, as election day nears, democrats appear to be losing support from voters that have gone blue. a new wall street journal poll reveals suburban white women have swung into the republicans corner, 15 point edge with them,
11:23 am
27 point swing in two months' time, and that's not all. latino voted have shifted away with the democrats with the economy the most important issue. joining us now is yesli vega, going up against abigail spanberger and latino voters in that district as they are throughout much of northern virginia are going to be a big factor here. i'm in the 11th congressional district, there is a large hispanic population there, and i'm wondering as we look toward november 8th, how is the economy, how is inflation changing the way that latinos and latinas are thinking about who they will vote for. >> look, the hispanic community is not monolithic, they care about a variety of issues and certain crime is the forefront of discussion with voters in the
11:24 am
seven district, and filed is through the roof because of failed democratic policies and leadership what my opponent has brought to the 7th district. >> john: what about economic issues, inflation, food on the table, gasoline in the tank. >> those are issues that hispanic voters care about, they work hard for their money, they want more of that money in their pocket and they want the wasteful spending to stop and that's what they have been seeing out of washington over the last couple of years. folks are starting to figure things out, and making those tough decisions, whether they put gas in their vehicle or take another trip to the grocery store. >> john: a sense in places like texas where we saw flores win in a seat republicans have not had for 100 years. and in the state of virginia, do you believe it's the case, latino voters are like they will
11:25 am
vote democratic, don't worry. >> this cycle we are starting to see a shift. the democrat party sees it and nothing to do to stop it. hispanic voters are realizing we are in the condition that we are in because of failed democrat policies and they want change and in six days we will give them that change. >> john: you were campaigning with governor glen youngkin and a page out of his playbook. he was endorsed by donald trump but did not make too big a deal about it in the campaign. you were recently endorsed by trump as well, but not making a big deal about it. >> president trump joins the hundreds of thousands that have joined my campaign, and i'm getting support from the voters in the 7th district, the most important endorsement november 8th. >> john: you and your family were touched by gang violence, a
11:26 am
friend was killed, your brother was wounded, you became a police officer in arlington. when you hear people like governor kathy hochul saying republicans are master manipulators, fact deniers with crime, they are making it up, what do you say? >> i find it appalling. this is a district result of the democrat's defund the police movement and law abiding citizens are having to pay the price. you see it on tv every single day, how crime is impacting our youth, our children and across the board and voters have had enough. they expect for their elected representatives to stand up and provide safety and security and that's not what the democratic has provided and so we are talking about that issue with voters in the 7th district as well. >> john: and immigration and what we are seeing the images on the border every day. you are the daughter of salvador immigrants, you were born in texas. when you look at what's happening at the border, almost 2.4 million people crossing illegally in fiscal year 22 and
11:27 am
the stories that bill melugin brings us of hundreds of people crossing illegally every day. >> it's a humanitarian crisis. you have a democrat party that talks about caring about women and children but a blind eye to the southern border where cartels are having their way, fentanyl is destroying our families, killing our youth, and we are seeing a shift. >> what should the country do it? >> we are a nation of laws, we have to secure the border, turn off the magnet and empower the brave men and women at the border to do their job. this administration is failing them and they are failing the american people. >> john: it's going to be an interesting race. we should point out we asked your opponent to come on, so far we have not heard anything back. >> i'm not surprised. >> john: yesli vega, good to
11:28 am
talk to you. >> sandra: the dow in the green after the fed rate hike announced top of the hour. it could bring more hurt to american families dealing with sky high prices. let's bring in larry kudlow for his analysis. >> john: troubling new details on the attack on nancy pelosi's husband including what police were doing or not doing at the time. stay tuned for that. d us again. the inflation buzz word. as if inflation magically goes away and then suddenly returns. but inflation never really goes away. each year - by some measure - the dollar declines in value. well - here's something else that doesn't go away... gold and silver. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold,

11:34 am
claudia is live in san francisco. did the capitol police drop the ball here, claudia? >> well, john, you can bet there is an investigation underway, but sources do tell fox news the capitol police tend to pay a little less attention to the home security cameras when the person they are protecting is not there, and nancy pelosi was in washington, d.c. on friday morning when the break-in happened at her san francisco home. authorities refused to say whether the home has a working alarm system but the district attorney confirmed there was a lack of security. >> there was no security present, there was no capitol police, no private security. >> capitol police say they did see the break-in when they ran the footage back later. this security issue comes amid court filings that suggest the defendant in this case was on a suicide mission and not just targeting the pelosi's.

11:36 am
large rate hike to try to bring down inflation, the fourth of that size. it's a pretty big one. larry kudlow, host of kudlow on fox business. tell us what this means. quite a rally, we should pop the big board up, initially the dow spiked 300 points, down on the day before the decision. now back up to the highs of the session, up 400 points. my understanding, larry, somehow some wording change in the fed's announcement, that indicated that they might not be this aggressive with the next rate hike. >> jay powell grew all that hair on his chest, all the paul volker hair on his chest. he may be shaving some of it off. hate to put it graphically, the simplest way i can do it. the market will wait to hear the full press conference from fed chairman powell, but there was a line change some word salad
11:37 am
changes in their initial announcement. >> sandra: i'm getting the word right now, financial conditions have tightened significantly, says powell, he is speaking right now. obvious the interest rate hikes he has imposed are working, the idea is to actually bring some pain on the american economy to bring down prices. >> the underlying inflation rate is probably between 6 and 7%, ok. the fed's target is 2. the peak for the inflation arguably was we'll call it 8% and change. are they making progress, yes. they raised the target again today to 4%. close to 0 at the beginning of the year. that is a lot. however, getting from 6 to 7 to 2 is not an easy task, wage rates figure into this particularly services, prices, they are running upwards of 5 to 6%. so the fed has to make a
11:38 am
determination. their models, you know, forecasting models are not fabulous. their track record is not fabulous. remember, it was all going to be transitory, turns out not to be so transitory. so i don't know, and i want to hear what powell is saying, ok. i don't know if he's pulling back. it's called a step down, that's the language of wall street, is the fed making a step down, instead of raising 75 again next month, sandra, they might only do 50 basis points or 25 basis points. >> sandra: you have to forgive me, i'm watching the dow and i had to check and make sure there was not an error. it just fell 400 points. this is obviously because jay powell is speaking. >> this is the ambiguity associated with this word salad business i mentioned. >> sandra: it takes a second for the graph to catch up. >> extraordinary what goes on. and this is why the federal
11:39 am
reserve shouldn't be so much emphasis on words because words don't really matter, their actions matter. either you are going to plot a course to lower the inflation rate to get back to 2% so worker wages can go positive for the first time in two years or you are not. when you get into this middle ground which gets very weird and you have to -- it's like interpreting kamala harris, okay. except it's jay powell, the head of the federal reserve. and this ambiguity is very harmful and very danling because people don't know precisely what the fed's intentions are. up to me, it's not, but my suggestion, con -- constructive criticism, you have a target, keep raising rates and tightening the money supply until -- >> sandra: you have been in that camp, art laffer, larry summers, tear the band aid off.
11:40 am
>> factually, all right, commodity prices have dipped so the fed is gaining on it. factually, the money supply has slowed a lot so the fed is gaining on it. ok? alls i'm saying is they should finish the job. don't let it languish, and try not to confuse market -- real money is on the line. average households have lost, i don't know, 30, $35,000 in their retirement accounts this year, nobody is happy about that, so i'm just saying you know, this word salad stuff is very disconcerting. the ambiguity of it all, i don't know why it has to be -- i don't know why the fed -- can i just tell you this, i worked for paul volker a long time ago, his gopher guy, secretary, when he was president of the new york, before he ran federal reserve. volker was old school. he did not forecast, he didn't try to give you guidance, he just did what he felt was the right thing to do and it worked, it worked.
11:41 am
take the band aid off and just -- the sooner they fix this problem, and the sooner we unleash oil and gas, and the sooner we start cutting spending and taxing and regulating, the faster we will recover. >> sandra: full analysis, 4:00 eastern time on the fox business network. larry. >> very complex topic. >> sandra: as you were talking, climbed back 140 points, back in the positive. >> invest in the long run, do not play the short-term wiggles. >> john: always great to see larry, wiggles and all. we may not know who wins the pennsylvania senate race until days after the election. sound familiar? polls show it's one of the tightest races with days left to campaign. on the ground in the keystone state coming up next. >> sandra: inflation and the economy top voter issues for many reasons about which we just spoke. in nevada in particular, still

11:47 am
senior national correspondent rich edson is in pennsylvania. days, weeks, months? >> it could be hours deep into election night, john. it could be several days. take the case of lancaster county where we are right now, back in the primary in may, because of the expansion of mail-in voting they have to get the ballots printed by a private company. that company put the wrong code and delayed the process by several days. the other part about pennsylvania state law, those ballots mailed in have to remain sealed until election morning. so if there are any coding problems like that, they'll remain a mystery until election day. >> each county has a different process and different equipment for processing mail-in and absentee ballots. in counties that are smaller they can report faster, and larger counties it may take some time. and depending on what type of equipment they have. >> so with all that, the acting secretary of state says voters
11:48 am
should hand deliver to the county election office or drop off. a major decision by the pennsylvania supreme court, it ruled officials cannot count ballots with missing or incorrect dates, they have to set those ballots aside. state law says voters have to hand write the date on the outer envelope when they return the mail-in ballots. pennsylvania republican leaders cheered that, democrats say those ballots should be allowed to be counted. if you look, generally speaking across the country, democrats are largely the ones using the early mail-in ballots. back to you. >> john: see how it plays out. rich, thanks. sandra. >> sandra: nevada senate race a toss-up in the final addition of the power rankings. looking at catherine cortez
11:49 am
masto trying to catch up with adam laxalt and close the gap, he is leading in this very close race and a lot of the fight is about inflation in that state. a lot of working class voters there, big focus on hospitality, hit hard by covid and so it is working in his favor right now. when you do look at some of the top issues being inflation, look at what they are dealing with in nevada as far as gas prices in the state. 4.96 is the state average. significantly above the u.s. national average for gas prices. so, their cost of living is a huge issue for the voters in nevada, in particular in this senate race coming up in a lot of the candidates messaging. nevada's washo county, 5.39, gas prices, that is the northwest corner of the state, actually if i bring you in there, i can do it this way, actually -- and you look at the presidential result
11:50 am
