in a moment we will be joined by republican congressman brian fitzpatrick of pennsylvania. a member of the house committee on transportation and infrastructure. but first let's turn to lucas tomlinson live in a nantucket, massachusetts where the present and spending the holiday we can, lucas. hugs jen, president biden spent the last few days relaxing on this little island. even while shopping on small business saturday you cannot escape questions about 2024. >> president how are 24 conversations going? >> i don't have any. >> a massive railroad strike looms with a potential to cripple transportation of 1 third of all goods in the united states. after biden took credit for averting the strike back in september, this time he says he's taking a more hands off approach. >> my team has been in touch with all parties. and i have -- i have not directly engaged, they are still talking to. >> just days before biden's press secretary said the opposite. >> the president is indeed involved directly. but i do not want to get into details at this time but he has been involved. i just sai

american lawmaker from the republican party and the co-chair of the ukrainian coco congress, brian fitzpatrick however , how likely it is that such assistance can be approved by the congressional staff, and she also asked him whether the scope and focus of the chamber's support would change of representatives of ukraine according to the republican majority, her interview further supports ukraine in the future congress, i do not think that the level of support will change numerically, it is obvious that the leadership of the house of representatives can change, so this will potentially become a new challenge for us, but it is a challenge that we will cope with, there is a large group among us people in leadership positions who are very committed to the idea of ​​continuing stable support for ukraine, and i will tell you that from the point of view of foreign policy, this is my number one priority, i will be a key voice in congress next cycle we will have a very slim majority i am also the co-chairman of the bipartisan congressional focus group of people who solve problems together in the house

representatives retained their seats, in particular, the democrat marsikaptor, the republican brian fitzpatrick, the democrat mike quigley and the republican andy harris and here in the senate to replace the representative of the ukrainian focus in the senate a tailor who was a great supporter of ukraine and emphasized the need to help ukraine at almost every speech he made, but this year he decided not to run for office he was replaced by another republican, james david bence, who made critical statements regarding the continuation of aid to ukraine and advocated that it be reduced or stopped altogether, at the same time, according to experts, our colleagues from the georgian service spoke with some of our colleagues from the georgian service. stated that from reshuffling such small applications, so to speak, from such small, uh, few seats, the overall support of democrats and republicans is unlikely to change after these midterm elections they offer to listen to the comments of these experts just now, these voices are not very influential, this is evidenced by the fact that since february, th

candidates from both parties, republican brian fitzpatrick and democrat brandon boiler, are activelymunicating with the ukrainian community and consistently support aid to ukraine . maps that will be plausible. mainly, the head of that congress, he will have insane power, he will simply control how and what kind of things will be done by the congress, eh. it is him. it will depend on him, and he assured us this he will not stop aid to ukraine, the leaders of the ukrainian community in the three states are adding elections - this is a good opportunity for ukrainians in the usa to once again declare their interests regarding the further and more strengthened

congressman brian fitzpatrick says they may need to do this as a last resort. >> they have a very reasonableed. their benefits have not been on par. the transit freight workers union, they have not had a raise in several years. congress will not let this strike happened, that is for sure. it would be devastating to our economy. >> unions do have a case. if a deal is not reached, they will go on strike december 9. two weeks before christmas. here in nantucket, not just trains on president biden's mind, but donald trump as well after that controversial meeting >> mr. president, what do you think about mr. trump having dinner with a white nationalist? >> what do you think about it, sir? [inaudible] bryan: the white house also responding in a statement "bigotry hate and anti-semitism have absolutely no place in america including mara lago. it must be forcibly condemned". he has not discussed 2024 with his family. he says he may over the holidays. one person he does not have to worry about is gavin newsom. he says he is not interested. >> i will get enough very topic later. the governor and the p

"fox news sunday" congers men brian fitzpatrick question this new arrangement. >> the energy crisis we are facing, much has been self-imposed. going to communist dictatorships increasing production when we have the energy right here in america to get the job done. >> we have asked the white house for a comment about the protests in china. so far, we have not received a reply. >> reporting from nantucket. tanks for this. >> joining us now, a global economic contributor. author of a biography of the treasury secretary. let's take a look at what is going on in china right now. the last time we have seen uprisings this big was more than 30 years ago. >> right. in may of 1989. i actually lived in hong kong in the late 90s in the aftermath of that. one of the lessons that i walked away with about how the chinese leadership is that they don't want a repeat of that. what they value, what the communist party values more than anything in china is social stability. one risk we have to look at over the next week or so is pretty aggressive crackdowns by the parties and the police to put an end to t

. >> now because it's such a narrow margin, he'll need moderates like brian fitzpatrick and others.aller coalition. they're not as loud as more of the magalites like to be on the hill. the real date for kevin mccarthy is still january 3rd. if he can't get 218 votes on the floor on january 3rd, he could be there for a while. it seems like some republicans don't want to give him that. >> with this potentially narrow majority, his job just got so much harder, and there are some very really questions whether or not kevin maccarthy can win. they're certainly recommending concessions in return for the support should they win the majority of influential committees, trying to bring back the potentials to depose of the speaker and wanting a commitment from him to support articles of impeachment against president biden and his administration officials, which is not somewhere where republicans want to go where they've been given anything but a mandate. he's going to need support from democrats for government funding to raise the debt ceiling. very complicated road ahead for kevin mccarthy or w

republican congressman brian fitzpatrick coming up right after the show. stay with us. least two people are dead and several others are hurt after a boat capsized in the surf off of imperial beach, california. city located just minutes from the u.s.-mexico border. officials believe one more person is still missing. surfers in the area at the time helped pull people the shore. 7 of the people rescued from the waters are now in border patrol custody. it is unclear where the boat came from or where it was heading. still no official suspects or persons of interest in the quadruple murder in idaho. live report near the crime scene up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> two weeks since four college students were stabbed to death in off campus house in idaho and police yet to name any person of interest and dan springer joins me live from moscow, idaho for more. >> i get frustrating, no suspect, no person of interest, not even a sketch of a possible suspect but police insist to us that they are making significant progress but with all those unanswered questions, of course, in the college town peop

congressman brian fitzpatrick joined "fox news sunday" over the weekend and said this is a joke. >> theivers that we're facing right now in america, much of that has been self-imposed by the stipulation made by this administration early on to shut down the keystone xl pipeline. further delaying the permitting process here domestically. i don't know why we are going to communist dictatorships or begging opec plus to increase production when we have the envelope right here in america to get the job done. >> steve: we know why the administration is doing that they don't want to punch any more holes here in the united states. i think in their heads what they're thinking is if we are able to unblock billions of dollars in humanitarian aid for the venezuelans, then maybe they will stop fleeing the country. so far 7 million venezuelans have fled the country. and maduro. so i get that the other thing is we are going to wind up with more oil but it's going to be quite a while. it looks like they were trying to do those two things but ultimately, it all comes down to the cost of gallons. and in t

harris i think for republicans i think is important to have that unifying figure because you have brian fitzpatrick was up one end and then you have the greens over here and you have a very strong point come out from mccarthy that we can afford this kind of break and politics effectively have defections and they said that they voted for mccarthy but they are paraphrasing but if not i will will and deal will they have to find someone else they could bring someone who is not a member in other words. >> absolutely. >> harris faulkner: that is an option to do that. but i thought though that margie taylor stands on this was really taking a view at everything. 37,000 view but is not getting support from some who have supported all along lake matt gaetz of florida? i mean he certainly is in the "newsweek" has an interesting article about how he's turned on her because he doesn't appreciate the fact that she caved in and i guess from his perspective. but she's looking at the bigger picture and this wasn't the red wave that republicans had hoped for. and now you have to show people that you can govern. and

here's brian fitzpatrick, a republican from pennsylvania. watch this. >> congress will not let the strike happen. that's for sure. it would be devastating to our economy. failure is not an option here. we cannot have our transportation system responsible for a third of our products being taken throughout our country being shot down. that's not an option. >> martha: what do you expect the president to say or do now, karl? >> i think congress is -- it's in congress' hands to do something about it. the president, i thought his move on the presidential emergency board to put together such a lavish plan geared entirely towards the unions and even asking for things the unions weren't asking for like a 25% pay increase, this is supposedly all about getting more sick days and making them mandatory sick days so even if you're not sick, you got to take them off. >> that makes sense. >> congress will say no more. >> martha: thanks, carl. thank you. coming today today the hunt for the killer in the brutal slayings of four students continues. police are

one of the to most populous counties, a swing county, elected brian fitzpatrick to congress. this is place you need to turn out the votes. with big rallies like this into the final stretch, the democrats are exciting the base, trying to get their voters all keyed up to go to the polls on tuesday. i mean, this is a one or two-point race at the moment. every vote is going to matter. >> another way in which perhaps democrats have been exciting the base is some other star power, not just biden and the former president obama weighing in, but oprah winfrey also weighing in on the pennsylvania senate race. just take a listen for those of you who haven't seen it already. >> i will tell y'all this. if i lived in pennsylvania, i would will already cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. >> okay. so, you know, she always had quite the following, always been very influential, whether it's marketing a product or back in the day mehmet oz, a person. so how influential might she be on this campaign stage? how much does this potentially help fetterman in what has become a neck-and-

brian fitzpatrick vowing action, what he had to say on fox news sunday. >> congress will not let thee happen, that's for sure. it would be devastating to our economy, so we'll get to a resolution one way or another. >> the national retail federation says it supports congress getting involved, they write american businesses and families are facing increased prices due to persistent inflation and a rail strike will threaten businesses resiliency. we are expecting the white house to weigh in on this. peter doocy will be in the room. also mentioned that john kirby will be in the briefing room. likely the questions focused on china. the president not holding public events but talking about the economy tomorrow in michigan. we'll see if he brings up what's happening with the railroads, t too. >> john: and maybe some questions about the dust-up between the reporter and the soccer player as well. >> sandra: looming strike is weighing on businesses ahead of the holiday shopping. i shouldn't say ahead of, we are in the holiday shopping season now. also uncertainty over how shoppers are going,

meanwhile rep brian fitzpatrick telling foxconn aggressional help would be a lass resort. >> congresshe strike happen. it would be devastating to our economy. we'll get to a resolution one way or another. >> reporter: cheryl, if negotiations do not end up being successful that strike would happen on december 9th but experts tell me we would start to see changes to orders, canceling changes to truck starting as early as december 1st. a lot needs to happen this week and next week to avoid a shutdown and that strike. cheryl: december 1st to your point is this week madison. thank you very much. potential rail strike averting potential shutdown on lawmakers minds as congress returns to session. former white house acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. good to see you. >> thanks for having me. cheryl: a lot to go through with you. democrats are coming back addressing gun laws which might be a long shot. republicans making plans for investigations, impeachments, this at a time when the economy is facing huge headwinds. let just start with a looming rail strike. your thoughts? >> i think this i

the brian fitzpatrick from pennsylvania said this on fox news sunday urging republicans to stay united in favor of mccarthy. >> it would set a terrible precedent if he were not to get it. kevin has put four years worth of work, fundraising, travelling across the country, visiting our congressional districts. he's worked hard, accomplished the goal, albeit a slim one of winning back the house majority and he deserves it. >> john: he also says he doesn't see anybody else in the party who could get to 218 votes. so the split in the republican party, is it detrimental to them? >> it is. this five number is not an accident. it requires 218 votes to be speaker. looks like 222, so they can lose four, mccarthy can lose four and still elected speaker. and now appears you have five republicans. on the other hand there, is a smaller number, maybe three who have said absolutely no way, doesn't matter what concessions kevin mccarthy makes, they are not going to vote for him. and i think what happens, this happens on january 3rd, we have a ways to go. and i think there is going to be intense amount

the republican leader of the problem solvers wasn't aware of it, brian fitzpatrick. there wasn't a lot of information on what the plan was. i don't really know what kevin mccarthy knew or didn't know. i do believe that speaker pelosi is an historical speaker. she's held control for a long time. i haven't agreed with a lot of her positions and the way she's conducted the house. but i admire the fact she's led so long as the speaker. i will say, i did not know she was going to be on the floor giving the speech. many other republicans did not know. it's possible kevin mccarthy did not know either. >> congressman gottheimer, what is your forecast of how this is going to work with such a narrow majority? does that bode well for working together, for meeting each other to get things done? or not? >> i think the republicans are going to have to decide -- i know where don's head is on this. republicans have to decide if they want to sit at the table and work together, which means they have to bring democrats and republicans to the table and be willing to take 80% of what the

think is interesting, tomorrow, oz has an event with senator susan collins and representative brian fitzpatricko perhaps counter balance with the former president tonight. >> two wildly different events. one of the most vulnerable democratic senators is katherine cortez masto. we saw president obama, the former president, campaigning for her. that was on tuesday. do you think obama was successful in firing up the really critical younger and latino voters who are going to be so important for democrats to keep that senate seat? >> i think he was. there was a huge crowd there, a full house. we know that latinos, young voter, will be crucial. especially the independent voter. we've seen a huge increase in the last 20 years of independent voters, nonpartisans. they make up almost 30% of the voter base here. >> and not only are they a large portion of the voter base but they are, you know, they're part of electorate that have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic and higher inflation. what do you think cortez masto and democrats should be talking about to make sure those voters come out on

on sunday, oz hosted a roundtable event with senator suzanne collins of maine and congressman brian fitzpatricksylvania. two of the more moderate gop members of congress. there are signs oz's new strategy resonated with voters. his new messaging coincided with a rise in the polls where he now finds himself in a virtual tie with john fetterman. he also made appeal for voters back in josh schapiro who is likely to be elected governor today in pennsylvania. to florida now. polls open in less than two hours. republican senator mark rubio joined gop governor ron desantis for a joint rally with rubio. he is face ag tough battle against val demings. rubio not only tacked her at last night's rally but president biden and the entire democratic party. >> what this country deserves are two political parties but at a minimum at least one that cares more about what hard-working, law abigd, every day people care about than what some, you know, nutty professor or radical activist or laptop liberal or misfit cares about. we need to start putting the hard-working tax paying people in this country ahead of all t

the moderate republican, susan collins, the congressman who's a republican from bucks county, brian fitzpatrickof the most moderate republicans in congress. he's trying to do a two-step -- sandra: yeah. these dynamics are all so fascinating. and you look at the fact that erie county went to joe biden in the last presidential election, but he flipped what a president trump won out in erie county in the 2016 presidential election. go to the center of the state, center county. why is this so important? president biden won it last time around. >> that's a college town, penn state. you need to get the college kids, the younger voters to show up, certainly those that attend or have graduated from penn state, the professors. the thing that i think worries democrats about pennsylvania is that that youth turnout is not where they want it to be. they're looking at some of these early vote numbers, looking at some of the early polling that's been done, and young voters are going to vote democratic, but are they going to show up? that's the question. sandra: i mean, this could be the state, this could be t

representative brian fitzpatrick telling foxconn greg all intervention be a last resort. >> failure isot an option. we can't have our transportation system responsible for one-third of our products being transport ed throughout our country shutdown. that's not an option. reporter: so ashley, what we're looking at is the potential strike on december 9, but what s al was saying earlier about ups and when i mentioned about things slowing down before hand, he expects companies would start canceling or minimizing orders as early as december 1 next week so these next two weeks are really crucial in terms of figuring out this rail situation. ashley? ashley: yeah, all right, madison alworth in the bronx, madison, thank you so much. of course, it is the biggest retail season of the year, but inflation is squeezing everyone 's pocketbooks. guess what? andy puzder is here. andy, great to see you. my question first be do you think we're going to see a weaker holiday season this year? it seems like people are still spending. >> yeah, people are spending. people are going deeper into debted, consume

on sunday, oz hosted a round table event with senator susan collins of maine, and congressman brian fitzpatrick most moderate republican members of congress. there are signs oz's new strategy has resonated with voters. his new messaging has coincided with a rise in the polls where he now finds himself in a virtual tie with lieutenant governor john fetterman. adrienne elrod, your take on pennsylvania this morning. >> yeah, first of all, i'm not sure that voters are buying in bipartisanship, this new strategy by dr. oz. i think at this point, you know, donald trump is something, i don't think it's going to work. a couple of things that have happened in pennsylvania that have been favorable toward john fetterman, the oprah winfrey endorsement was huge. she really propped up dr. oz's career, she created him. that was big, and of course we have seen our party's top surrogates going in. president obama has been there a few times. president biden. so it's been, we are obviously looking at this. i think democrats are looking at this race as ground zero in terms of whether or not we hold on to the senat
