governor doocy's 15-week ban was going to take effect on september 24th.come law on september 24th, a state court lifted the injunction on the 1864 ban. and since that was the law preferred by the attorney general, the states top law enforcement officer, that was understood to be the law in effect. a challenge was quickly lodged against the older, more restrictive ban, and october the 7th, unappealing court blocked the 1864 law, which then allowed governor doocy's 15-week ban to take effect. instead. the attorney general was expected to go to trial over it, but on friday, he announced his office will not be enforcing the 1864 total abortion ban, until at least next year. however, he and governor doocy, won't be in office next year. they're both term limited. which means it's uncertain right now what happens -- next with abortion laws, because it will largely depend on who is elected on november 8th, and how they decide to resolve this. now, both of the democratic nominees for governor and attorney general are strong and vocal advocates for abortion rights.

i don't know if you recall what peter doocy said. talking about the goals of the administration in terms of green energy by 2050. those are really different goals. >> china is not going green. they're in 140 countries lining up coal and fire plants. and polluting the atmosphere. >> harris: it won't be as clean as our coal. looking like the federal reserve will approve a fourth consecutive interest rate hike next month. experts are saying it will be another super sized one. those hikes all in an effort to help the decades-high inflation come down. you know the inflation reduction act didn't actually reduce inflation. never could. the unrelenting price spike has led bloomberg to this grim projection. 100% of recession in the next year. peter doocy was asking the tough questions as he always does. >> how is it that we can be barreling towards a recession and the economy is, as the president says, strong as hell? >> what we're seeing right now is the job market is strong, the labor force is strong, and that is not what we see usually bef

write this piece about white house concern a doocy on the border.ngly network his attention caught the attention of the white house irritated by his reporting. the white house has remained extremely sensitive to issues political vulnerability for biden. when you read that piece and got the fallout from it. were you like, what? >> i shook my head. first off i love peter doocy it's an honor to be compared to him. yeah, i thought it was a little bizarre. i mean, they say our coverage is alarmist. what's happening at that border is alarming. and we see it every day. we have seen it every day for a year and a half. we can't even show on tv some of the things we see down there. the corpses, the little children who are sexually assaulted. it's something you have to physically go and see yourself to get the scope of what is happening down there. i didn't truly understand it until i went down there physically and started covering it half of each month for the last 16 months. it appears they are not too thrilled that we invest in drones and we can see a lot o

she's answering that question, and peter doocy is in the room.en for a bit. >> continue to talk about that. again, we were just out west for four days so we are going to continue to go out there and the president will talk directly to the american people. >> one more about the hearing, i did have one, but do you have a sense of when the cost savings will begin to accrue? obviously it's not instantaneously, but you talked about prices lowering, is there a sense of when that happens and over what time frame? >> i don't have a timeline for you, i can talk to the team to get a specific timeline but what is important about this, the president took action, did an executive order, asking fda to find ways to lower costs for 30 million americans who do benefit from hearing aid, that's 30 million americans, going to save them thousands of dollars. so a deliberate action the president took and now we are going to see the benefits of that as i can get back to you on exactly how quickly that will occur, but again, this is a huge deal. a big deal and we talk a

at the white house, peter doocy. fox news. >> trace: new reports tonight about the state of education in illinois and call it troubling would be a big understatement. matt finn has spent a great deal of time covering issues in chicago and digging into the details tonight. good evening. >> good evening, trace. that new report on illinois schools reveals a shockingly student performance numbers that "the wall street journal" editorial board left them speechless. showing in 2019 only 36% of illinois students could read at their grade level. that number dropped to 27% for hispanic students and 22% for black students. chicago's public schools, which is made up of 330,000 kids, only a quarter of the district students are able to read or do math at their grade level. "the wall street journal" editorial board writing in part "the extent to which that performance is betraying a generation of schoolchildren is hard to put into words. third grade children are eight years old full of potential with minds like sponges to absorb w

asked a specific and great question from peter doocy i posed to charles payne at the top of the 1:00ious and relevant question. a white house on multiple times over the past several months has taken credit for the drop in gas prices, ok. we should note that's a mere drop from record highs, but still they took ownership of it, they took credit for it, they touted it. so is it a perfect market then because when gas prices go up they claim that this is a market that is fixed, that there are oil producers price gouging, that there are mom and pop gas stations colluding to drive prices up for the consumer. which is it? >> yeah, the prices go down, it's biden's credit, prices go up, it's those greedy oil companies and service station owners and we are seeing it again in this cycle, the president last week, the energy secretary blaming industry and this is part of why domestic production is not rising. it is this hostility from the white house where here we are. the white house is basically hoping that russia and saudi arabia don't cut oil production tomorrow to save them from further hikes

. >> when pressed by peter doocy about the comments, the white house press secretary did the, you knowdodge. >> georgia, the president's endorsed candidate for governor stacey abrams is suggesting that one way to mitigate effects of inflation is to get an abortion. does president biden agree? >> i did not see her comments on this so i don't know the context on this. again, i want to be careful because this is a political debate and it is related to a midterm, an election, so i'm not going to comment on that. >> let me help her out. a member of the administration said the exact same thing, secretary yellen, and said it in a hearing on the hill. she said that black women in particular, remember that, if they can't get abortions, it hurts the economy. so even if karine jean-pierre hadn't heard this politician say it, a member of the administration said it, and it made for a bumpy week for secretary yellen. >> this is one of the most jaw dropping ways for the democrats to talk about both the issue of abortion and inflation, bringing them together at the same time. it is absolutely outrageo

we are all over it with peter doocy and a president yet again to tap the reserve for more oil a and colin mcshane on two races that could determine if the president succeeds or fails. and how he would put the saudis in their place. then, remembering this day 35 years ago today when a bull market was put in its place and capitalism itself seemed on the brink. funny thing, history. funnier thing, how they looked covering it back then. welcome, everybody. i am neil cavuto. this is your world, where we're ready to tap a reserve that's quickly running out of oil. that's a separate story. first, following the political impact. >> hey there, neil. there's a relationship between gas prices and electoral prospects. earlier this year, gas shoots up, the president and other democrats saw poll numbers plummet. over the summer, gas prices come down, suddenly the democrats are polling better. as we approach election day, it is worth noting the price at the pump started to creep up again. you look at the average price for regular 3.85, a month ago, 3.68. we're starting to move in the higher direction ag

peter doocy, thanks very much.ynn taking note of what opec countries are doing to cut production. phil, you say that a lot of this has to do when we went to tap the reserve. they didn't like it. and this is their revenge. explain. >> it is. the revenge of the cartel. absolutely, neil. if you go back to when the biden administration first released oil, it was in november before the war. they did it because opec wouldn't raise production when joe biden called them and told them to do it. now after months of releasing oil, opec will cut production maybe as much as two million barrel as day. within three months, all that oil that we release to the world market is going to be taken back by opec, saudi arabia and russia. it's a net effect of zero. that means your gas prices are going higher. >> neil: now, we had back-to-back big updates in the market, a lot of that has to do with the notion -- these guys could be wrong. we've seen that -- but things could come back sooner than we thought and would lead to a demand in mor

peter doocy live on the north lawn. peter, thank you.e hope to talk to the foreign minister from saudi arabia in just a bit. in tonight's midterm spotlight race the arizona senate race. incumbent democrat mark kelly and republican challenger blake masters debated last night in phoenix and even though president biden is not on the ballot, he was a major major topic of discussion. casey stegall. >> joe biden is spending like a drunken sailor and at every single blake masters my opponent on the have some leaks that are just dangerous in arizonans. >> a war of zones arizona two candidates running for u.s. senate participated in first and only debate of ahead of the midterms. democratic incumbent senator mark kelly at his republican challenger blake masters spard over everything from abortion. >> arizona women have totally lost the right to make a decision about abortion. it's devastating. it's wrong. >> i support the 15-week law with all the exceptions. i believe in federal limits. >> to the 2020 election. >> i suspect president trump would

peter doocy on the white house still digging in. shannon bream on if any party in power needs to listen up. and why jeb bush says he's fed up, not with just soaring prices, but right now falling school grades for our kids. attention, class. it's not dismissed. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. happy to have you on a busy news day. let's first get the latest out of london where the shortest serving prime minister has just announced she's out of there. alex? >> hi, neil. a dramatic shakeup of u.k. government today. after just six weeks the prime minister announcing that she is resigning. liz truss walking out of downing street earlier today, announcing that she will resign. citing the war in ukraine and the unstable economy as major problems coming in to this role. she had hoped to grow the economy with drastic tax cuts, which really only did the opposite. dropping her approval ratings to record lows. still, she says her time in office yielded some results. >> we delivered on energy bills, on cutting national insurance. we set out

another question by peter doocy to the president today.e a listen. >> >> is this politically motivated sir before the midterms? >> no, it's not. look, it makes sense. i have been doing this for how long now? it's not politically motivated at all. it's motivated to make sure that i continue to push-what i have been pushingn. >> bret: that wasn't peter but a question whether it was politically motivated or not. your thoughts on this move ais m >> the president may say it's not politically motivated but the circumstances suggest that's exactly what it is. here we are just weeks away from a midterm electric and just weeks away from their saying in this very month that they were not -- that the administration was not contemplating another release. gasoline prices once again are beginning to climb. the people are feeling it. and the midterms are approaching. if you go back and look, bret, at the list of previous through time, previous releases from the strategic petroleum reserve, what you see is a situation where you had hurricanes or other sup

this is peter doocy, the star, i will never do it again. take you back some other time.n't know he is off. lauren: he's like what is going on right now? sorry. stuart: let's talk to the chair of the rnc, the president says inflation gets worse if republicans win, how do you deal with that? >> he is dealing with stages of grief and is in the denial phase because we know the midterms are coming, we are about to take over the house and when the senate and he is trying to do anything he can, flailing. it is going to get worse with republicans when it has gotten so bad under democrats. stuart: you sound confident you will win the house and senate in november. how is it going? >> we made 70 million voter contract ahead of where we were, voters are very engaged, republican voters are excited and the thing is hispanic voters, 38 community centers dealing with minority voters but the hispanic voter in nevada, arizona, texas, florida, they -- you can see a realignment. it is down significantly. we see it with venezuela and cuban voters, but we are seeing it with cassie garcia and

neil: peter doocy, connell mcshane is looking at some other issues the president is yet to address how it will respond to the opec cut in production, something is coming, we don't know what. >> reporter: back and forth has been interesting, fair to say the rhetoric is picked up between the white house and saudi officials, the saudi's say the white house wanted them to collapse the midterms, peter said it was different reasons and also that saudi arabia pushed opec plus to cut even though as they put it more than one other member didn't want to, didn't want to go and felt coerced so it has brought up questions whether the biden administration might turn to venezuela to fill the opec plus avoid. as for the price it is down today by $3. it is down for the week. most of this seems to be economic worries about the recession which -- in terms of demand and politics last week the president said the us was looking for alternatives to saudi oil and then he was pressed about venezuela directly but that we haven't made up our mind yet meeting the united states, what to do with that and national s

gillian. >> peter doocy from the white house this morning. thank you. let's bring in republican congressman michael waltz a florida. a member of the house armed services committee. it is tempting to focus in all this on how this combustible economic picture will play out in the mid-terms. the more important thing to drill down on you first here is how this is playing out in the american people's daily lives now many months into this inflation crisis? i know that in part americans are in the wake of a storm without basic electricity service. >> biden's reaching out to dictatorships, venezuela, iran with 50 million barrels they are trying to sell as part of the iran deal, and others just isn't working. now we have opec restricting supply. what's frustrating is right here under the ground in the united states of america we have oil and cleaner gas than russian gas or others ready to go. not only would it help americans at the pump, but it is the biggest driver of inflation because everything has to be transported. but the other piece is on foreign policy.

a lie and voters deserve the truth. >> carley: sean duffy is here to talk about that, first steve doocy "fox and friends." >> steve: how did you know that, carley? intuition, indeed. "fox and friends" starts 11 minutes from now. the white house playing the blame game with gas prices on the rise as, on popec plus is considering a cut of a million barrels of oil per day, you know what that is going to do to the prices at the pump? they will not go down. and funeral service for the paramedic fatally stabbed in unprovoked attack, we have live coverage as we honor that hero and texas congresswoman mayra flores will respond to the call for help over migrant influx. we have kathy lee gifford, who will stop by the curvy couch and herschel walker on his fight to flip a seat red, plus lawrence jones, clay travis and douglas martin, a busy morning on the channel you trust for your morning news, with that intu i guess, carley and todd piro back in a couple. you are watching "fox and friends first". . >> there are hundreds of data points that joe biden was acting in -- in a capitalistic term a chair

peter doocy at the white house. are we going to see a red wave in november?> stu, there's new polls including from fox that show vovoters and independent voters breaking towards republicans on issues concerning the economy but that doesn't necessarily mean there's going to be a wave election, especially as officials here at the white houssay top economic issues like inflation are top of mind. >> if president biden's top domestic priority is inflation, why doesn't he have more to show for it? >> so the president understands and we've talked about this many times, that inflation is an issue, high cost, cost is an issue for the american people so he's been very clear about making that his number one economic priority. he has done the work. he's done the work with congressional democrats. >> the house minority leader who is hoping to become the house speaker in a few weeks, kevin mccarthy responds like this. >> she thinks the border is secure, she thinks they always help when gas prices go down but have nothing to do with making gas prices go up. even larry summe

peter doocy asked him a tough question and he didn't have a tough answer. stu: governor huckabee, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, stu. stu: both parties criticized for not doing enough to connect with female voters. susan: 32 point swing from independents moving to the republicans for the female vote. now, it really depends on demographics. we had a recent poll by the aarp that found that women over the age of 50 are the more energized voting blocks. # 4% of them say -- 94% of them plan to vote, a little over half say they're undecided right now and you have to remember they're strong voting block and account for nearly a third of the ballots in 2020, 2018 representing 25% of registered voters, and they are sticky. they plan to cast that ballot. 80% did go to the polls and showed up to cast a vote in 2020. stu: i don't see how they're being neglected and that sienna poll showed there's a 32% swing in independent women voters swinging from democrats to republicans in six weeks. i've never seen a statistic like that before. susan:ive looked at topics

karine jean-pierre was questioned by peter doocy about the handling of inflation. this. >> who thinks the president is doing a good job on inflation? he received his lowest job ratings on inflation, minus 38 points. >> we understand there are challenges in front of us in this country. that is why the president has taken action to lower costs. neil: i don't think she answered the question. maybe doctor ben carson can answer it. great to see you again. what action has the president taken to lower costs that you know of? >> good question because i don't know, very tough but they talk about equity and making it fair for everybody and in a sense they have achieved that because they have made it difficult for everybody, black, white, old, younger, doesn't matter. it has become much harder to acquire a home because of the policies. neil: stuart: i believe wells fargo has given $7.5 million to expand equal housing opportunities for homeowners. it seems like we are trying to collectively shoehorn people of color into houses, special treatment, special conditions, back to 20

. >> bill: peter doocy kicks off a new week from the north lawn. good morning. the president speaks at the democratic national committee in a few hours. what is his message? >> at this point, bill, president biden is use hoping that mid-term voters have some patience with him. >> president biden: a lot of what we've done and we've passed has not kicked in yet. for example, you know, we have all this money to rebuild the highways, bridges, internet, etc. it will take time. it is not all happening overnight like we passed a law and all of a sudden the highways and bridges are all functioning. >> the white house has been hoping that debate over abortion access will keep younger voters engaged in the process. senator bernie sanders is worrying that their side has a problem brewing with turnout. >> i am worried about the level of voter turnout among young people, working people voting democratic. again, what democrats have got to do is contrast their economic plan with the republicans. >> another issue this white house is hoping will keep young voters engaged is stud

peter doocy at the white house.eanwhile going to rich edson, in pennsylvania, mail-in voting by extension. hundreds of thousands have already done so, right? reporter: they have, neil, and you last today day to request one of the ballots if you live in pennsylvania. if not, then you have to vote on election day like you used to have to. like peter was saying it has been a quiet day on the campaign trail. i don't know if they're trick-or-treating or what. neither senate campaign. john fetterman on the weekend held a couple events in harrisburg, in pill in philadelphia with union workers and students. the question in the next week will kick up. president biden will lean more into the race. he and vice president harris appeared with fetterman at a fund-raiser on friday. biden and former president obama will campaign for democrats in philly, pittsburgh, biden already in some ways has been campaigning for fetterman. reporter: president biden: i thought he was really good, what he was doing, he is strong. fetterman is pen

peter doocy is live outside the white house with more.arris, around here officials know there is really no way to put a happy face on this opec decision. >> what opec did the other day is not helpful. but it proves we have to be less dependent on foreign energy. >> that means a turn toward green energy but that will take a long time. there is no talk now about asking american companies to drill more in the united states. but we are told the president may continue drawing from the strategic petroleum reserve the keep the market table. some of his own parties -- senator dick durbin wrote from unanswered questions about 9/11, the brutal murder of khashoggi and exporting of extremism to the jailing of peaceful dissidents and conspiring with vladimir putin to punish the ashen us with higher oil prices the saudi royal family has never been a trustworthy ally of our nation. it is time for our foreign policy to imagine a world without this alliance with these royal back stabers. the secretary of state says they're working on it. >> we made clear

harris. >> harris: peter doocy, thank you very much. we'll get into it with will cain. co- host of "fox & friends" weekend. first of all your top line response when you first heard this from the vice president of the united states. >> simultaneously shocking but unsurprising. you can't be surprised that this type of language was coming from the white house from the second most powerful person in the united states because this type of language, harris, has been employed throughout governmental policy for quite some time. i heard nancy mace in the clip you just played describe this as crazy town. it is not crazy town, it is immoral. what i mean it's not simply sloppy. it is not simply uncalculated. it is a predictable guidance, a principle to which the democratic party has subscribed that you should divide people according to their race. they do it with government contracts and educational opportunities. by the way, this word equity. i appreciate the vice president distinguishing it from equality. the idea we all aspire to a society judged by merit and individual. no, she

peter doocy, thank you. there is a grim economic outlook from one of the world's top bankers, jamie dimon with this statement today. there are significant head winds immediately in front of us stubbornly high inflation leading the higher global interest rates. the war in ukraine and the fragile state of oil supply and prices. while we are hoping for the best we always remain vigilant and are prepared for bad outcomes. florida senator rick scott chair of the national republican senatorial committee joins me now. like i just said, we should never ignore our problems and it seems this administration is doing just that. they aren't talking about crime or the immigration problem. but they get mad when we talk about the economy. i'm not quite sure what the message is from the white house. >> well, they are like a little kid that doesn't want to take responsibility. joe biden and the democrats have caused this inflation that we've got. it is hurting families. i grew up in a poor family and watched my mom struggle w

. >> this week the white house peter doocy since he was responsible for falling prices also responsibleor the rise. jean-pierre said it's obligated. >> the president is responsible for gas prices coming down. if he's responsible for gas prices going up? >> it's a lot more nuanced than that. there global challenges involved that with, pandemic and putin's war. the war has increased gas prices at the pump. >> sometimes it's the war and sometimes it's not. it's a slap in the face. alarmed for higher gas prices ahead of the midterm elections, he begs sallies not to cut output but it seems despite this from diplomacy result is best how the crown prince he once called pariah the president got nowhere. in desperation biden plans to scale back sanctions on the regime of nicholas maduro in venezuela to allow the country to pump more oil and retaliate against the saudi's. new signs inflation is high it may be trending higher. new york post columnist karol markowicz philip levine, thank you both for being here. the president begged the saudi saudi's, his new best friends apparently not to restrict

peter doocy starts us off tonight. good evening, peter. >> good evening. three weekends to go before the mid-terms. president biden is not spending this one boosting democrats on the campaign trail. instead, he's trying to get in on the as a little closer to home. >> i will not yield. >> president biden field testing a new nickname for the republican platform. >> it's megamaga trickle down. >> president biden is celebrating that his plan to forgive or cancel some student loan debt is surviving court challenges. >> just yesterday, state court and the supreme court said no, we're on biden's side. >> and he's chastising critics. >> ted cruz, the great senator from texas, he said it's for slackers that don't deserve relief. >> who in the hell do they think they are? >> today's remarks in delaware where the president plans to stay all weekend. a fox brain room count finds that president biden spent 76 weekends away from the white house, outpacing president trump's 54 weekends away at this point in his presidency. >> we're here at dell state. it's a special plac

white house correspondent peter doocy. peter. it's not just that democrats in tight races are not inviting president biden to join them on the campaign trail in swing states. it's that they're barely talking at all about his biggest ticket item to date that nearly $2 trillion american rescue plan. and that agenda has driven this inflation by spending trillions of dollars we don't have and driving up the price of energy costs for americans. fox news. paul is finding that 71% of americans have had to cut back just to afford necessities. that is a number that has grown steadily in this poll since march of this year. administration officials often blame most inflation on energy prices, but they claim they're bringing them down. i think the key story there is that is this administration doing as much as we can to help increase the energy supply? and i think the answer is unequivocally. yes even though domestic suppliers here in the united states say they can come forward and help increase supply here in the united states, so the presi

let's do what doocy is doing in arizona with the ymca. fine.ant every kid like i want every house member to be on this camera, i want every kid in school in america to have a laptop and wi-fi. >> jesse: if you had that $100 million they're still clinging to, you could afford maybe six laptops per kid. >> jeanine: doesn't it make you wonder why they're holding on to it so long? what do they plan to do with it? the amazing part of all this is when the secretary of education comes out and says, this is a call to action! well, what's your plan? call to action? what is the action that you have in mind? and the craziest part about this when you talk about the schools and inner cities, nobody, nobody is talking about the impact of the millions that are coming through and have been coming through the southern border with kids that don't speak english or are being brought into the schools where they have to bring in teachers or where they have to slow down with the american students to make sure that the other students can catch up because they don't un

peter doocy is live at the white house with more. times" yesterday talking about how the democrats have to land on a messaging them on the economy. how can it be? >> there is a consistent messaging theme here at the white house and it is just to blame others. according to this president there are three main culprits for all this country's problems. you have big oil, you have vladimir putin, and, of course, republicans. >> president biden: some of our friends in congress say we don't need covid funding. they say there is no reason the government should be paying for it. i strongly disagree, strongly disagree. these guys are asleep. i don't know where they've been and they seem -- the price at the pump should reflect what the price of a barrel of oil costs. and it's not going down consistently. i have been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices since putin's invasion of ukraine caused these price hikes. >> for whatever reason president biden hasn't been as vocal in protesting saudi led oil production cuts that his administra

. >> dana: peter doocy is live on the north lawn. peter, an interesting thing. the president hasn't given a foreign policy address in quite awhile trying to reassure the american people. how much do we need to worry about president putin and his look ott nuclear war. >> maybe we should be reassured just after the president said there is a threat of nuclear armageddon he went to his house in delaware for the weekend and not to the white house situation room. so maybe that's a good sign. as for the events overseas this morning, the russians are claiming they are not the aggressors here and they say they are just responding to what they see as a terrorist attack. the bombing of that bridge that connects the contested crimea to main land russia. >> if the terms to carry out acts of terrorism on our territory continue russia's response will be harsh and scale will correspond to that of the threat made against the russian federation. no one should be in any doubt about that. >> so it may get worse. ukraine's president zelensky said the russians are using iranian-made

>> neil: peter doocy, thanks for that.licies that didn't work and his are going to work better. that's the read from the president of the united states. asa hutchison, the arkansas governor, maybe has a slight disagreement with that. good to see you again. he's saying, sir, his policies are better than republican policies that you guys would make inflation worse if you were running the ship. what do you think? >> well, he's certainly in campaign style. i don't think it's a message that sells. everyone understands fundamentally this is a biden inflation. it started with bad energy policy, jacking up the energy costs for every american and then it goes in to the supply chain and all of the food costs as well. so he is the president of the united states. he's responsible for this. he can't avoid it during this season. whenever you look at in passing out goodies as you said, it is wrong subjectively for the forgiveness of the loans. it's bad policy. it's not fair treatment. it penalizes those that have worked hard during colle

white house correspondent peter doocy has our report live from the north lawn. good evening, peter. >> good evening, bret. president biden doesn't have any control over what opec does. he asks them to increase production. they decided to decrease it. and now gas prices back home may start rising at a terrible time for him politically. but, as international politics get tricky, the president has a surprising kind word for domestic rival ron desantis. >> i think he has con a good job. >> the president says no one f witness a biden. >> no one f's with a biden. but it appears opec plus has done just that the group of oil producing nations agreeing to cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day. >> it's a short-sighted decision. >> which could make inflation in america worse. >> america is going to be paying sharply higher prices for everything oil-related. >> while giving russia way to minimize global sanctions. >> it's clear they are aligning with russia with today's announcement. >> the president of the u.s. oil and gas association says the u.s. has one option l

peter doocy live at the white house. hi, peter. >> the president's new proposals are designed to only nibble at the edge of the higher prices and inflation. yesterday a big announcement billed as a way to give people more breathing room. it wound up being a way to target junk fees at banks. officials here would much rather talk about republicans. >> congressional republicans aren't hiding the ball. they've been very clear about what they are going to do if they indeed take control, right? put medicare and social security on the chopping block. if you do that inflation goes up. >> the republicans many lawmakers are looking to to set an agenda for a new congress aren't focusing on that. their attention is on energy production in the u.s., particularly now that we know the biden administration tried and failed to get saudi arabia to cooperate. >> i think they should use the power of the purse to demand the kind of regulatory changes, new permitting, new leasing on federal land, open the alaskan national wildlife region back

commodity on the campaign trail but that is not the case this year white house correspondent peter doocy tells us why. >> of october of their first midterm cycles, trump had 26 rallies, obama had 16 rallies. that means president biden has some catching up to do because, on the campaign trail, with the exception of p.a., the president has been mia. >> my staff said to me, you realize how many times you have been to pittsburgh? i said no. they said 19. >> peter: this time to boost the senate candidate john fetterman again. [inaudible] >> peter: president biden claims he is helping more than a dozen democrats. >> there haven't been that many candidates campaigning with you. >> that's not true. there has been 15. count. take count. >> are there going to be even more? >> yeah. >> peter: it was even more three and a half hours later. >> 16 i have already done and a lot more after that. >> these appearances are often at official events. appearances that traditional campaign style rallies are rare. the last big one was in late august. in a state where none of the races are competitive. maryland.

maria: it's a perfectly fine question for steven doocy. the day before president biden said if the democrats ho onto te majority in congress the first thing he's going to do is codify roe v wade and make it possible to have an you abortion in your ninth month as if that's what people are talking about. no comment on i'm going to do first and foremost kill inflation. i'm going to make sure that families are not paying upwards of whatever for oil prices. no, the first thing he's going to do is make it possible to have an abortion in your ninth month. >> yeah, the two top priorities right now for the democrats are abortion and climate change and those polls that's you were talking about, they show that for the american people there's this mismatch between what democrats want to do and what the public wants. now, let's go back to inflation. i'm old enough to remember, you may be too -- maria: no, i'm not. [laughter] i'm just saying. >> in '76, jerry ford lost his election to jimmy carter because of inflation. and 1980, jimmy carter lost to rea

peter doocy will stand by. >> john: dr. nicole saphier, and if you are not following her on twitter you should. has a lot to say and to learn. you tweeted out the latest pitch to get the vaccines, a one pager here promoting vaccines that said updated covid-19 vaccine recommended for everyone age 5 and older, you responded, i disagree. boosters offered based on an individual's risk and only when proper safety efficacy data are available. sounds like the white house is not following the science here. >> well, that's not surprising, john. first of all, i think the white house and the cdc must have the strongest pr campaign ever. they have secured about 180 million doses of this updated bivalant booster, they have to have the president go on television and get his updated booster to encourage americans to do it. this truly is a political stunt. don't get me wrong, john. the president is almost 80 years old and has a cardiac history. if anyone would benefit potentially from a booster, it would be him. he is in the highest risk c
