>> shannon: the best path forward for the country. >> republican congress have a different vision, they will crash the economy next year. >> the president comes out swinging, claiming republicans will raise drug prices, cut social security and medicare and give the wealthy a tax cut. republicans are pushing back hard blaming democrats for economic struggles. >> we don't have to live like that, we can solve problems.

>> senate debates get heat, including unusual race in utah. >> send people to washington, willing to stand up for republicans and democrats. >> we'll ask senator mike lee about reelection battle in a red state. >> do our job at the border. >> shannon: asylum seekers flood new york, one texas city plans to stop sending buses noerth and wait until you hear why. a live report from the border and bring in henry cuellar, a moderate in a race for his south texas seat. then a new poll shows a change among independent women, ask the sunday panel which candidates could benefit. and larry kudlow on fears of

recession and the big honor larry kudlow just received. all right now on fox news sunday. >> shannon: hello from fox news in washington, in the final countdown to the november mid-term, candidates are on the trail and making the case only they and their economy can right the economy and lead the divided country forward. facing off with challengers hoping to break through. actually playing out right now in a key senate race in deeply conservative utah. we'll speak live to senator mike lee of utah in a tight match up to a third term. his race went from a sure thing to not so sure. >> you owe me an apology.

>> shannon senator not a prop, d and independent evan mcmullin is blasting lee overhis actions. >> stand up for free and fair election and for the peaceful transfer of power. >> there is nothing to the idea that i would have ever supported, ever did support a fake. >> thank you very much. >> evan mcmullin burst on to the scene in 2016, running for president as an independent hoping to peel away votes from donald trump. >> i believe donald trumps harms this country. >> this character nobody saw

before, evan mcmuffin. >> evan mcmullin is still behind in the polls and has vowed not to caucus with either party. evan mcmullin might be a swing vote. senator lee is making 11th hour plea from fellow republican. >> mick, if you like to protect, give us a chance, get on board and help me win reelection. >> shannon: senator, welcome back, senator mike lee. your opponent says you betrayed your oath to the constitution with regard to the 2020 election. here is what he said. >> lee helped plan the effort to

recruit fake electors and american democracy, no one need take my word for it, it is a matter of public record, the truth is the truth. >> shannon: here is text he cites between you and chief of staff mark meadows. december 8th, if small handful of states had slates of delegates, there could be a path. january 4, i've within trying to unravel this for him, say day, i've been calling state legislators for hours and will spend hours doing the same today to figure out path to persuasively defend. evan mcmullin says the texts speak for themselves, how do you explain them? >> there is no truth to what he's suggesting there, there were rumoring circulating leading up to january 6, rumors suggesting some states would be shifting out slates of electors.

it was my job to open and count the electoral votes on january siksz and narrow down what was truth and fiction. i made phone calls to investigate the truthfulness, not advocating, only scenario congress would have had a role. i concluded after the investigation, the rumors were false and voted to certify the election. >> shannon: that path forward would suggest that you were at some point onboard with the idea. >> the point here was there was only one path and that path i was trying to get the white house and president's team to acknowledge was the only path if a state concluded it incorrectly certified results of the election, that would be only way

of doing it. i didn't believe they were going to do it and my investigation played that out. my point there was to say we've got to figure out whether this is the case is i wanted the president's team to acknowledge that was the only scenario there would be a role for congress. there wasn't and i vote to certify it. >> shannon: 2016, i was a report on the floor of the republican national convention, there was a vociferous response from you and others supporting donald trump as the nominee, here is that moment. >> those opposed shall say no. >> no. [chanting] >> shannon: i think i got that on my cell phone. in 2016, you voted for evan mcmullin, i'm guessing you will not this time in this race. if president trumpun ares began,

will you be a supporter? >> if he runs again, i think there is high probability he gets nomination and you are right about my vote in 2016. i was wrong, i didn't believe president trump would do the things he promised to do and i was sore over how my colleagues had been treated during the election cycle. that vote was a huge mistake and would be huge mistake for my fellow utahans to vote for evan mcmullin today. has raised on the democrat donor network and spent money feeding back into the industrial complex and supported democratic policies. if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and has webbed feet like a duck, it is a democrat.

utah ans don't want more of joe biden's policies, that are costing them dearly, shelling out $949 a month for the average family to live on because of biden inflation. evan mcmullin supports joe biden and his policy and would be reliable democratic vote. >> shannon: as i said, we've invited him, love to hear from him, as well. you were on fox news reaching out to mitt romney, a republican in utah for his endorsement, here is the reaction, romney aides gop divide in utah and here is what evan mcmullin says. >> i think it is shameful what i saw this week from senator lee attacking our other senator, we need who will work together.

>> you didn't endorse senator romney, why should you get his endorsement now? >> i have always supported nominees for the u.s. senate in my party in the general endorsement of my 48 republican colleagues in the senate even collins and murkowski, we often disagree on a number of issues and collins and murkowski and republican senators have endorsed me and i'm grateful. we need help explaining and spreading the word that evan mcmullin is the democrat's candidate in had race and i encourage your voters and you videoers who want to vote in utah go to lee for senate.com, we could use their help. >> shannon: if you win the senate and house back as republicans, the president has warning, inflation sits at

40-year high, and his policies need time to kick in, he is celebrating and had a warning for voters if they vote for the gop. >> they will crash the economy next year by threatening full faith and credit for the united states putting the united states in default unless we yield to their demand to cut social security medicare. >> shannon: he says you are a no vote and want to get rid of caps on prescriptions and giving billionaires tax cuts, does the gop have a plan for tackling inflation? >> that is information-free truth-free statement by president biden. the fact of the matter is his policies have made our economy worse, we brought in 4 trillion last year and spent 7. that is what causes inflation, milton friedman says there is

one cause for inflation, overspending by congress. we have a democratic congress that rubber stamps everything joe biden does and he wants more spending that results in inflation. evan mcmullin would support that and be part of the democratic establishment and that is why utah ans are going to vote for me. >> shannon: he says you voted against russian sanction and against aid for ukraine and only member not black listed by vladamir putin himself, can you explain the vote and tell us your position onis invasion of ukraine? >> i'm a stronped, i voted for ukraine package, against the second package, along with package ever sanctions a few years ago, not because of

affinity for him, it was packaged with progressive liberal policies that i object to. for evan mcmullin to suggest otherwise is farce. as to why i'm not on black list for russia, i don't know, but i look forward to being put on such a black list, they should put me on one, i can't stand putin. >> shannon: we'll see if you end up there. on abortion, would you sign to the 15-week nationwide ban that senator lindsey graham is backing. the league of that draft opinion from the supreme court, you clerked over there, are you concerned whether we will get an answer about leak? >> i'm troubled we haven't gotten an answer, they could have and should have gotten an answer right away. it baffles me to why they haven't figured this out, i am

surprised and it worries me we've gone this long and suggests we may not get an answer. as to senator graham, i have immense respect for graham, i can't sign to it. let me explain why. we've been saying for nearly 50 years this is not a federal issue. it should be primarily a state issue except insofaras dealing with federal funding and things part of congress' role. now that roe has been overturned correctly, we can't make it a federal issue. best way to save the most babies, allow each state to protect babies in the way they deem most appropriate for their state. >> shannon: the toughest question, you are u2 fan, bono is doing a tour, do you support bono solo, will you go see him? >> sure.

i haven't listened to any of the new music that is solo. it is definitely worth investigating, if it is anywhere near as good as u2, sure i would. i usually like the band as a whole, van halen wasn't as good when they got rid of david lee roth, i'll check it out. >> shannon: david lee roth versus sammy haggar, that is my posit position. >> sammy haggar is great. >> shannon: the magic didn't work. up next bring in the sunday group and show the latest fox news power rankings. you don't have to wait until retirement

>> shannon: welcome back. fox news out with the new power rankings, i will walk you through the latest mid-term projections. democrats hold 220 seats, republicans at 212. but take a look, our power rankings forecast republicans

winning 232 seats, a 15-seat majority. it is more of a toss-up for the upper cham berl, 50/50 with vice president harris with the tiebreaking votes. rankings suggest republicans hold 49, democrats 47. the four races, the toss-ups maybe the debates more important. >> stop spending that kind of money, democrats were warned, if you do this, it will fire up inflation. >> the senator who has never run anything but his mouth would know nothing about being there for people when they are in trouble >> >> shannon: time for the sunday group, white house reporter catherine lucey, bush white house advisor karl rove and former -- current fox news analyst juan williams here and correspondent rich edson. sorry, guys, i got off.

good to see you. start here. this is interesting and has attention, independent women swinging, independent voters back republicans by 18 points and in september favored democrats by 14 points. karl rove is it possible there is 32-point swing? >> karl: no, there is a swing, the sample size of independent women is small and plus or minus is 20 points, there is probably a swing, probably not 32 points. >> shannon: that would be a big one. "new york times" says in the polling variety of data suggest electorate attention is shifting back to issues where republicans are stronger, public economy like crime and immigration, juan, we have seen in a number of polls, how concerned are you? >> juan: over the summer

democrats message was helped by the news, shannon. think about it, gas prices down, supreme court overturned roe v. wade and then you had the january 6 committee in prime time making the case that president trump was involved in an insurrection against the u.s. government. in september gas prices went up and thatir stirred more concern about the economy and in this campaign, republican candidates put halloween fright wig on the economy and it issing, that is the dem nant message. >> shannon: do you not think the economy is frightening? >> juan: it is a real concern, but i think -- >> shannon: concedes that? >> juan: it is a western, i just said that, you have to think about the fact democrats remain angry over abortion rights issues, democrats outraged by trump's lies and insurrection,

threat to ban books, divide over race in society. since civil war, 40 midterm election and only three has the party in power gained seat. we have a jumpball election right now, no red wave, not where democrats were at the start of summer. >> shannon: economy scary issue not fright wig scary, just to be -- clarification. talk about the senate. i was ahead of myself last week, pennsylvania debate this week, fetterman and oz and quote binnion saying i would argue this debate means more than any senates race for the last 30 years, rich, you have covered this race, do you think this debate will flip votes either way? >> rich: you've had john fetterman doing campaign events, first and only debate with his

opponent and there are questions about his health and how this will play and questions about how dr. oz is going to respond to all of that. there are concerns among some republicans that perhaps he might be seen as too harsh about the health issue, the stroke issue is major, there is a teleprompter, it will not look like a normal debate because of his health challenges. it is another issue in a race that is one of the more unique races i've ever seen covering, national issues in pennsylvania, republican trying to hold the seat, lieutenant governor against novice politician, stroke on top, it is incredible. >> shannon: this race has tightened up the senate race. interesting gubernatorial races. lee zeldin will be on special report on monday to talk about the new york race. in airbnb, they are not having

debates. the arizona republic running away with carieshgz lake, hobbs seems invisible. she says the debate would be a waste of her time. >> catherine: this is a very tight race, a state president biden won by narrow margin and lack of debate has become a narrative in the race. hobbs is saying this would not be a good use of time and would not be helpful. she is facing criticism and concern from voters and voters including pennsylvania, one candidate had a stroke, expect to see candidates facing questions and each other. she is now spending time defending this opinion as opposed to talking about the race. >> shannon: cari lake is surging

in the gubernatorial race and a tight senate race, does she pull blake masters? >> karl: i wouldn't say surging, she is moving ahead, be hobbs has run a dreadful campaign and this latest decision not to debate is a mistake. if lake wins by sufficient margin, might bring blake masters in. in georgia, if kemp wins, he may bring herschel walker in on his coattails and in nevada, it is clear that sheriff lombardo, sheriff of clark county is helping adam laxin his race. and in pennsylvania, we have josh shapiro and mehmet oz seen as centrist candidates and the democratic nominee seen as

extremist outside of the mainstream. >> shannon: juan, what are you watching you think democrats will hold on to or multiimmel? want i think they will win in arizona, picking up on what we were talking about, you will see sflit votes and people are writing about that. i think if you're looking for interesting races even beyond washington, i looked at that race in oklahoma for governor, kevin stitt and joy hofmeister and the idea democrat could win in a red state, is pretty ashgsz mazing and reflects the idea that we've got an election where turnout is key, get your people to the poll and what we've seen with early voting is big turnout. both sides are highly energized and he was saying crime is out of control, this is another

messaging and crime is higher here in oklahoma than in new york or l.a., he said no, turns she was right. >> shannon: do we think we will see the president out more in some of the races? >> catherine: he's been out quite eight bit, been in pennsylvania, going back to florida, did a swing through the west coast, senator bennet, who is running for re-election there. he will be out more, has not been doing big campaign rallies more issue events, policy events and fundraising on the trail. >> shannon: in specific states, stick around, we'll take a quick break and candidate in historically blue region are raking in more money than democrats ahead of election day, sit down with henry cuellar, who is fighting to keep his feet there and go live to the border for a look at what is happening

>> shannon: there is growing frustration along the u.s.-mexico border, officials are struggle to handle the

number of arrivals, an issue spilling into the campaign trail and pitting border democrats against the biden administration. bill melugin is reporting live from there. hello, bill. >> bill: migrantss continue crossing in massive numbers from all around the world, but we're starting to notice drop in number of venezuela ans showing up, which expels venezuela citizens crossing illegal between ports of entry. >> before sunrise in eagle pass and images from fox news drone reveal huge group of hundreds of migrants crossing into the u.s., large majority of them, single, adult men, scene that plays out here daily. earlier this week, a bigger group crossed in the same spot,

450 migrants at once. last two weeks, border patrol says they have seen 18,000 illegal crossings. the "new york post" reported the white house asked el paso democrat mayor not to declare state of emergency in effort to avoid bad optics, something the mayor denies even though he admitted to it last month. >> the white house has asked for us not to do that. >> the white house says that never happened telling fox, we did not make any such request, we did make clear the if the government stands ready to support the city of el paso. >> bill: speaking of the federal government, they conducted a blatant friday night news drop this past friday at 11 p.m. friday night, finally released september border numbers and the numbers are historic, showing in

september 227,000 migrant encoun encounters, highest number in dhs history and fiscal year 2022 ended with 2.4 million migrant encounters the highest fiscal year ever recorded and does not count the known gotaways. back to you. >> shannon: bill, thank you to you and your team, from san antonio, henry cuellar, whose district includes laredo, along the border. welcome back to fox news sunday. you heard the numbers, they came after 11 p.m. in washington on friday night, they are record breaking. you talked with this administration about the issue at the border to get help. here is what the vice president said last month. >> vice president harris: we have a secure border in that is

priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. >> shannon: congressman, based on your conversations with the administration, do you think the border is secure and do you think it is a priority for this white house? >> first of all, no, the border is not secure, when you have 1.7 million last year, and now 4.5 million encounter at the border and over 5 million individuals in just two years, no, the border is not secure and we have to make sure we have repercussions there. i have talked to the administration a week before the december, in december 2020 and started telling the transition team in december 2020, this is upon haing, you have to be ready and if we don't have repercussion, this is what you

are going to have. i saw numbers from the venezuela dropped out, i want them to do that to every country, if we do, the numbers will go down. we will be able to control the border and that is important for us living on the border. >> shannon: a lot of attention paid to el paso, you heard migr. el paso not going to continue the bussing because there is reporting feds will not send migrants to el paso anymore. they are using something they criticized as cruel and a policy they are fighting in court, title 42. with increasing number of venezuela arriving at the border, biden has turned to unlikely source for solution, his predecessor's play book.

is it your impression this admip stragz is saying one thing publicly and doing things differently when it comes to the reality of what they are seeing at the border? >> i think so, with all due respect to the administration, they say they want to get rid of title 42, it is used more than title eight. when you look at what they are doing with venezuela, sounds like mpp, same thing in many ways and i've always said we can spend all defense on the line, if we don't go to the 20-yard line, work with guatemala and mexico and get them engaged so they can stop folks from coming in, they will be at our door step and we have to make sure we understand importance of securing our border. >> shannon: polling shows

republicans have advantage in handling issues, 21-point advantage to them on border security. so your opponent cassy garcia says you say the right thing when it comes to the border, but you can't point to anything concrete you've done. your response? >> she's not from my district, they probably doesn't understand. i was vice chair of homeland security and will be moving up to appropriates, i have money for mental health and child care, pay raise for border patrol, i work well with her husband, mr. owens, chief in del rio, he invited me to be the speaker when we had a graduation of the border patrol agents, so people know. tomorrow i'm announcing $165 billion border patrol checkpoint in laredo.

i can go on and on and on. she's not from the district, so probably didn't know what i've been doing, i've been supporting men and women in green, in blue, the one at ports of entry and if you want to stop drugs, drugs are coming in 90% of drugs through ports of entry, we got to support the men and women in green and blue also. >> shannon: they have a very difficult job, that poll and the issue of the economy, it gives on inflation, republicans a 13-point advantage how they are handling that. democratic senator mark warner says there is too much spending in the american rescue plan. james cliburn says, all of us knew it would drive up prices, does he speak for you, do you have any regrets on voting for trillions in new spending? >> i want to make sure people understand, if you look at

deficit spends under the prior administration, there was more spending on the prior administration. to help reduce prices we have now, we got to focus on the biggest driver, oil and gas. i support the oil and gas industry, in my place, is there are 40,000 jobs, we lower prices of oil and gas. i helped pass the ban on oil exports, we created more jobs and want to see domestic drilling in the united states. you lower price of petroleum and lowers price of fertilizer and t has impact on goods, that is what i focus on and i can control, having domestic drilling in the state of texas or in the united states. >> shannon: so many positions that you take, republicans would say you should join them and their party, more in line with them. you are often described as only pro-life democrat in the house.

top election forecaster says this about you, he is pretty much alone as a conservative democrat in the house, do you worry people who hold your positions are being squeezed out of the democratic party? is is there a place for you? >> you know, i'm a democrat, conservative democrat, i work in a bipartisan way, i work with ascertain john cornyn, we have engs treme left and right, but some are not sent to washington to make political statements, we are sent to do the hard job, govern and you got to work with democrats and republicans like my friend tony gonzales, michael mccall, we work together, there are ways of working together and there are definitely room for conservative moderate democrat like myself. >> shannon: congress, you are in

a close race watching house district along the border, cassy garcia brought up the fbi raid at your home in january, anything you can say to clarify that investigation or what is going on there? >> yes. definitely there is -- i'm not the target of the investigation, that is what my attorney has told me, we will go ahead and move and focus on the election. what i want to know, what she wants to do, she is focusing on negative astacks and i think people are sick and tired of negative attacks. this is a market of ideas, what i want to do, what she wants to do, let the people decide. if you look at numbers in the past, i usually do 10% better than most state and national democrats that run in my district because i get independent voters that support me and moderate republicans and that is what i will do, get

independent voters and moderate republicans and we'll win this race. >> shannon: congressman, just two weeks to go, yours is one to watch, thank you for making time for us, great speak with you. >> thank you, i invite you to come to texas. >> i will come shortly, it's a great place. coming up, we'll bring back the panel to discuss issues parents are talking about ahead of the midterms.

vaccine been in vaccines for kids. this comes on same weekend the director has covid, it is raising eyebrows townhall.comsays a number of gubernatorial candidates will not require the shot. it is showing up on the campaign trail. >> rich: it is. republicans want to talk about shutdowns and what happened in over covid. this is recommendation from the cdc. they are the ones having to decide whether this recommendation of medical experts and cdc is something they want for schools. it is an issue that republicans want to talk about and they'll have to decide on it. >> shannon: talking about the economy, you heard from the president how well they have done, historic drop in the deficit 1.4 trillion dollars, we're talking trillions in

washington, "wall street journal" says it is the president trying to spend the goal, if mr. biden wants to play, he might recall it had an unhapp spinner. >> juan: i like that, shannon. no prosecute drove up the deficit more than trump, okay. that is right. it is also the case that republicans are succeeding on the campaign trail we said before by talking about the economy, the number one concern of voters, now the thing is they tie inflation directly to biden and biden spending, but what democrats are pointing out inflation is global, not just here in the united states. inflation here is better than it is in west everyone europe. the dollar remains strong and the euro and pound are weak. the u.s. economy remarines the

best in the world, but it is not great. lis truss out this week as british prime minister, she led to hyper inflation in britain. there are a lot of people who think the federal reserve is trying to tamp down inflation, go back to tax cuts, send inflation out of the roof in the united states. >> shannon: more oil out of strategic petroleum reserve, just before the midterm. >> catherine: he announced that this week, he is working on the problem, he says gas prices are going back up. there are international pressures and the timing is we are coming barrelling down to the midterms and this is the top inflation, high prices and gas are top issues for voters and have been for a long time.

>> shannon: the president, he was asked friday, about whether or not he will run for reelection. >> president biden: i have not made that formal decision, but it is my intention to run again, we have time to make that decision. >> dr. biden is for it? mr. president? >> president biden: dr. biden thinks that, my wife thinks that -- that i -- that we're doing something very important and i shouldn't walk away from it. >> shannon: getting a lot of attention for reasons not that the white house would like it to. >> he will not be the nominee of the democratic party in 2024, the party will not nominate an 84 year old who is clearly struggling. the country demand generational

shift and it will start with no 82-year-old will be the democratic nominee and no 78 year old will be the republican nominee. >> shannon: you heard it here, predictions, we'll see what comes true. up next fox business larry kudlow on recession fears and on the special honor he just received. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage?

he's doing his best with what trump left him. here is what he said. >> president biden: look at what i've inherited and what i've done, they want to double down on trump tax cuts because they will expire in 2025. they want to send jobs overseas, big corporations can pay lower wages and crease profit. >> shannon: he says previous administration, including you, left him a broken economy, larry. >> yeah, i never understood crazy acertifications, utter fraud. just look at the numbers, shannon. when joe biden was inaugurated, the economy was growing at 6.5%, inflation rate was barely above 1% and in course of 15 to 18 months, he took that economic

boom and essentially turned it into a recession because of all the inflationary federal spending and regulating and the war against fossil fuels which has caused 10% inflation. the soft underbelly of the biden economy has been a continuous decline in the working folks wages, real wages have fallen for 18 straight months year on year basis. the inflation tax is killing the economy, we're on the front end of recession, all these businesses have tighten, jeff bezos, jp morgan, people like that are predicting recession next year. it is just part of the fraudulent, almost like whites black, black and white, he will

not tell the truth about the economy, he inherited a boom, turned into a bust. federal reserve raising interest rates, stock market is falling, we are heading for a deep recession and progressive policies have utterly failed. this war against fossil fuel, it doesn't make any sense trying to watch him turn the truth around and i think it has hurt him. there is no confidence in him or his policy or in the economy and that is why the cal vary is coming and we'll see tremendous turnover in the elections. >> shannon: we'll see what republicans do if they regain power. talk about your prize, the speech you gave the other night, you talked about importance of faith in public life. you and i have had conversations about how it led you though the

storms in your life, recent polling shows americans are walking away from the period of faith in their life, what is your message on that front? >> yeah, it is a disturbing thing, you and i have talked about this. look, shannon, going back many years, almost 30 years ago, in my worst moments, i looked for god, i reached for god, i asked for his help and i've been doing so for the last three decades. i came to faith and i want to say, by the way, with respect to bill buckley, great modern father of conservative, in adigsz to being a free market calitalist, bill was a man of great faith. bill was a high church catholic and believed religion played an

important part in our lives, our culture and, in our families and communities. there is only one bill buckley, i have tried to follow that model and again, shannon, i know it is a sunday show and we don't have time to go through a lot of stuff, i think some people on the radical left who want to take religion, not making specific religion, but take religion, take god out of our schools, out of our work, out of our families, out of our lives, i think it is a huge mistake. i think it damages the culture and i hope people think twice about that in the future. it helped me in my personal life and i think it can help everybody in their lives. >> shannon: it's helped me, too, this country is beautiful place of freedom to have religion or none at all and we celebrate that. that's it for sunday morning,
