fox news jacqui heinrich live at the white house with the latest for us. hi, jacqui.ter: good afternoon to you. i want a read a statement just moments ago came in from the president and for the first time along with you. president biden saying that the united states strongly condemns russia missile strikes today across ukraine including kyiv. these attacks killed civilians with mo military purpose. they demonstrate the utter retaliation of the putin's war on ukrainian people. the attacks further reinforce our commitment to stand with the people of ukraine as long as it takes. that is an interesting line. alongside our allies and partners will continue to impose costs for the aggression. hold russia accountable for a a trot disses calling for russia to end the unprovoked aggression. this is the newest statement we received from the president especially as he made those comments last thursday night at a fund-raiser, ratcheting up the rhetoric around the possibility that we may see vladmir putin use a tax call nuclear weapon in the future. we had not heard anything from

jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich, more details on suspect and his past. he's expected to be arraigned on tuesday. christina coleman with the latest developments, hi, christina. christina: we are here in front of the home of the philosophies and you can see there's very easy access to it and that unfortunately is what the suspect took advantage of. paul pelosi suffered fracture to skull and injuries to right arm and hands, fortunately he's expected to make a full recovery. he's expected to be okay. he underwent a successful surgery to repair the school fracture yesterday. house speaker nancy pelosi arrived at san francisco general hospital to be with husband, was in washington, d.c. during the attack. yesterday president biden condemned the attack and he also commented on paul pelosi's condition. >> i spoke to the speaker, she said that he's doing okay. he went to the hospital, was operated on and he seems to be coming along well. he's in good spirit and the whole family is there. christina: police say the suspect, 42 david dapepe broke into pelosi's san f

jacqui heinrich at the white house on what this strategy is. what do you think, jacqui? >> it's hard to say, neil, what exactly the strategy is. the press secretary was asked why the president isn't going to a more contentious state like arizona if he's going on a western swing. why not hit some of those areas where democrats vying for re-electioning are having a tougher job. but this event in colorado is going to be really a favor to senator michael bennett who it was a big priority of his to get this site dedicated as a national memorial, cape hale is a world war ii military site. the president used his executive powers to bypass congress because similar bills have repeatedly stalled in the senate. they have not been able to sort of advance that legislatively. so the president using hills executive power to deliver on that promise. the other half of it is that it's going to dedicate ten mile range of mountain range that is prized by hikers and climbers, also within this national monument and the president proposed as well withdrawing 225,000 acres of land in the thomps

jacqui heinrich with more. jacqui? >> it's unclear if they're looking at this.dministration has shifted its messaging and focus on big issues that are important to voters like on the economy. he even dabbled in the discussion of crime. he tack a question on that from peter doocy. we haven't heard anything from the president or the white house on the border. even though then't said last year that he should probably get down there. listen. >> do you have plans to visit the southern border? >> i've been there before. i haven't -- i know it well. i guess i should go down. but the whole point of it is, i haven't had a lot of time to get down. >> the president said he hasn't had time to get to the border. we tracked him going to delaware 50 times since taking office. the department of public safety is taking issue that this administration has not admitted there's a crisis at the border. the new numbers show the u.s. closing out fiscal year 2022 with 2.4 million encounters, the highest ever, including 600,000 got-aways. quadruple the previous five fiscal year. the pres

jacqui heinrich with what we can expect. jacqui? reporter: neil, today's release is the last portion of the 180 million barrels that the president began selling six months ago but what is concerning to his critics biden's willingness to continue dipping into the country's emergency stockpile and the white house so far not indicated how low they're willing to go. >> we have over 400 million barrels. that is a lot of barrels and we're going to use them if we need to but we want the industry to increase production right now so that their barrels, private sector barrels can come into the market. reporter: the strategic reserves are sitting near a 40-year low. white house planning to buy back what they have already sold when prices fall back to 67 to $72 a barrel. keep in mind congressional democrats blocked a plan by former president trump to replenish reserves when oil was $24 a barrel. this plan will cost a lot more than it would have just a couple years ago. moreover the white house consistently claims they have very little control o

. >> sandra: jacqui heinrich is live from the north lawn for us. jacqui, hello to you. so, what do these brand-new numbers on the economy tell us? >> hey, good afternoon to you guys. the producer price index measures the cost that manufacturers pay to produce goods, and because it came in higher than expected, it is one indication that retailers could end up passing off these increased costs to consumers and inflation could rise. it's certainly an indication that inflation has not peaked and that increases the likelihood that the fed will continue the interest rate hikes. the market believes they are likely to do another 75 basis point rate hike november 2nd, put us farther into historic territory. and it comes with the midterms a month away, inflation a weak spot for the president and members of his party. the administration consistently points to rising energy costs as a key driver of overall inflation, and after opec+ snubbed provided and moved forward with production cuts, the president is considering calls to congress to pull back arm sales to saudi arabia. >> we a

white house correspondent jacqui heinrich starts us off live tonight from the north lawn. good evening, jacqui. >> good evening to you you, bret. we are witnessing a late shift in democratic messaging as it were from all in on abortion to counter punching the g.o.p. on the economy. but there's some gray area with the president's claims. >> president biden wants to undo the thinking that his policies will hurt democrats in the midterms. >> everybody wants to make it a referendum but it's a choice between two vastly different visions for america. >> some on the left admit signs of trouble ahead. >> i am worried about the level of voter turnout among young people and working people who will be voting democratic. [gavel] >> others like the house speaker at risk of losing her gavel trying to manifest results by staying optimistic. >> the fact is that we fully intend to win. was i not clear? we are going to win this election. >> vote, vote, vote, vote. >> biden tried to steer the ship at pep rally style dnc staff meeting by challenging the asubjects democratic losses are inevitab

dana. >> dana: jacqui heinrich kicking us off this morning. >> bill: thank you, jacqui. now the source for the trump-russia dossier has been acquitted of all charges. he was accused of lying to the f.b.i. and special counsel john durham expected still to release the report on his three-year investigation. what could be next on his agenda? former federal prosecutor andy mccarthy standing by. mark meredith has the news in washington today. >> good morning to you. we're waiting to see in john durham may charge anyone else or if his investigation into the f.b.i.'s handling of the 2016 trump campaign is officially wrapping up. late tuesday a jury acquitted danchenko of four counts of lying to the f.b.i. durham accused the analyst and f.b.i. informant of misleading investigators will his role in the creation of that dossier, the document used to justify a federal probe into then candidate donald trump as well as his connections to russia. danchenko's lawyers reacted. >> we've known all along that mr. danchenko was innocent. we're happy now that the american public knows that a

let's go to jacqui heinrich on what we're likely to hear from the president. >> hi, neil. we're getting a closer picture of the strategy here at the white house. we've heard from the president before and seeing more of now telling voters that things will get worse with the economy if republicans take back control of congress. we got an unusual e-mail in the white house press core from andrew bates telling us to watch an interview that house minority leader kevin mccarthy is going to be doing with punch bowl next week. bates writes to us in an e-mail, kevin mccarthy continues to show cause how eager maga republicans are to make inflation worse if it minds a wind fall for rich special interests at the expense of the middle class families. nobody gives more compelling proof for the fact that republicans in congress would exacerbate inflation and sell hard working families out to special interests. it has not been a great week for this president on the economy. although today's preliminary consumer sentiment report showed better numbers than expected. there's still uncertainty

jacqui heinrich has more. >> hi, neil. we just wrapped up the briefing there. questions to the press secretary. we didn't called on today. there were no questions about whether or not president biden would meet with russian president vladimir putin after the russian foreign minister said the russians would accept the meeting with biden in the g-7 summit. so we don't know if there will be a meeting of the minds or the putin front. in terms of the g-7 resolution, we got a read-out of the president's call. the summary of that is more condemnation of what russia, what putin has been carrying out in the ukraine. also, a vow to hold president putin and those responsible to account for what they see as war crimes and innocent civilians being attacked. beyond that, we didn't get any answers from the president himself about how that call went today. we also have not had any questions to the president since he made those comments about armageddon at a fund raiser last thursday. he's not taken any questions from the press and we've heard from the national security council

. >> jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich in for john roberts, he's off today.crime story terrifying people on the north side of chicago. just this morning, a spray of bullets ringing out at a frat house party to kick off homecoming weekend at southern university in baton rouge leaving nine people wounded. >> sandra: about this time yesterday in cleveland when a gunman stormed a barber shop and shot five people, one of the wounded still fighting for his life. >> jacqui: and families on bucket list vacations cannot get away from the crime targeted at their hotel on a disney world vacation. >> this morning to head out to go to disney and the truck was missing. i've had iwatches, a lot of people said the same thing has happened to them. >> sandra: in the neighborhood known as wrigleyville in chicago, the closest thing to crime used to be rooftops giving fans a free view of the cubs action at wrigley field, but the neighborhood has been hijacked by a violent group of men grabbing people at gunpoint and taking them hostage to rob them of everything they are carrying.

jacqui heinrich at the white house on what might be. hey, jacqui.ter: neil, the president continues to warn of consequences for saudi arabia after opec plus moved forward with its decision to scale back oil production. he is considering calls from congress to suspend or scale back or eliminate arms sales to the kingdom based on this decades-old strategic partnership where in the u.s. supplies arms to the saudis to defend themselves against enemies in the region so long as the saudis produce enough oil to keep global markets stable and right now the president's under significant pressure from democrats in congress to take some retaliatory action soon. >> i don't see any reason to arm them now if they believe their future is linked to vladmir putin. >> the saudis are totally dependent on our weapons. their air force could not fly without american technicians. we have done so much for them. there need to be consequences. you can't just do this to the american public. reporter: biden will huddle when congress is back in session after the midterm electio

jacqui heinrich at the white house with more on that. jacqui. reporter: neil, good afternoon to you. in just 15 days we'll know which way power is swinging in congress and most recent polling shows that republicans have the edge. so it is causing somewhat of a keep your chin up style messaging game. the president saying on friday that voters got to be patient a lot of the things that he has done legislatively will not take action for years in some cases but house speaker nancy pelosi, who is at risk of losing the speaker's gavel is taking a bit of a different approach. she is manifesting results through optimism. >> i don't have any time to dwell on our not winning the house. so, that is so scary, i agree with you, are there is reason to be scared when you hear that the fact we fully intend to win. was i not clear? we are going to win this election. reporter: but other democrats are more inclined to address the elephant in the room, like bernie sanders, true to form. >> i am worried about the level of voter turnout among young people and working

jacqui heinrich on that. bryan llenas the day after this pennsylvania debate, i don't know if any of you saw it between john fetterman and mehmet oz t was painful to watch at times certainly given the post-stroke condition of fetterman here but the fallout is not having the predictable one you would think or hurting at least fetterman coming to money raised on his behalf. bryan with more on that in harrisburg. bryan? reporter: yeah, fetterman's campaign said they raised over a million dollars after yesterday's performance after that debate. one of the biggest exchanges happened in the last night's debate resolved around fetterman issue around fracking. fetterman said he always supported fracking. in 2018 he said he did not at all and never has. >> i absolutely support fracking. >> there is that 2018 interview that you said quote, i don't support fracking at all. so how do you square the two? >> oh, i, i do support fracking and, i don't, i don't, i support fracking and i stand and i do support fracking. report

want to bring in jacqui heinrich when the white house north lawn begins the coverage there. hello. >> good morning, bill. the president defended his decision to lean on the country's emergency stockpile not only blaming russia's war in ukraine but also going after the oil companies and saying that prices at the pump should be lower but they are raking in the profits. the ftc has found in evidence to support the president's price gouging allegations but now he is also deflecting criticism from the industry saying that he has not slowed u.s. production, even though his administration is leasing federal land to energy companies at a much slower pace and he is countering criticism over the stockpile releases claiming that there is plenty left. it's necessary right now to stabilize prices and there is a plan to buy it back when prices fall. critics are not moved. >> that's not a supply, that's a reserve. now he wants to take some more out of it. just before the election. no, that's not political motivation, not at all. but the fact is, we could have bought oil at 24 bucks a barre

here is white house correspondent jacqui heinrich. >> prices are still rising and consumers are stillgress and two economic reports released friday, the president's biggest challenge, inflation, remains. biden turned the focus to the g.o.p. writing the economic reports show we are making progress. congressional republicans agenda on the other hand is very different. it would drive up inflation and add to the deficit. >> we would all like to see inflation coming down quicker but i think there are signs, you know, even this week the numbers are showing either at expectations or below expectations. >> a met trick closely watched by the federal reserve showed inflation stayed hot in september but mostly within expectations. personal consumption expenditures climbed 6.2% compared to last year. stripping out volatile food and energy, core pc inflation increased 5.1% from the year prior. separately, the employment cost index showed waging and benefits climbed 1.2% from june to september. a quicker pace than the fed wants. no sign the labor market is loosening and rapid wage growth is moderat

neil: great reporting, thank you, jacqui heinrich at the white house.the corner of wall and broad, we are at session highs so maybe they're hoping, praying or buying on the notion that maybe the worst is behind us. if we skirt a recession and we only have to worry about limited hikes in rates after the three-quarter percent hike expected next week, maybe we're off to the races and some of these company earnings even disappointing in the tech world is are a sign of things turning around. to steve moore on what he makes of this, former senior adviser to president trump. very smart man. you know, steve, perception becomes reality, and you're a great student of history. i'm reminded of george bush sr. in 1992 saying we're through the worst of it. ironically, he was proven right after the fact, but most americans didn't share that view and kicked his hinemy out -- hiney out of to value office. it's a different type of situation now, but could the administration be right to say we're getting through this? if it's falling on deaf ear9 nou make of it? >> well,

jacqui heinrich has all of those stories live from the north lawn. good evening, jacqui. >> good evening, bret. the new numbers show the fed's work to bring down inflation has not had an impact yet. meaning that it's increased the likelihood the central bank will move forward with another hike of 75 basis points, which will put us further into historically aggressive territory. it's an uncomfortable spot for president biden trying to tout climate priorities amid a growing energy crisis and under the threat of nuclear war. >> we're investing billions of dollars to protect our preserve, and address the devastating influx of climate change. >> in colorado, president biden used executive powers to designate the camp hale national monument and proposing to withdraw 225,000 acres in the thompson divide from new mining or drilling. the president's climate priorities clash against the backdrop of a growing energy crisis amid russia's war in ukraine and the decision from opec + to scale back oil production. >> it's not saudi arabia that is holding a gun to our

coverage to kick things off, charles payne is standing by, but first white house correspondent jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn. what is the treasury secretary now saying, jacqui, about what this could mean for inflation? >> nothing, john. even though administration officials have consistently pointed to soaring energy costs, data showing that is a main driver of inflation, but today treasury secretary janet yellen did not even try to finesse a response about what an opec production cut could mean for your wallet. >> i would think would lead to some concerns about soaring gas prices and also the impact on inflation. how worried are you about that? >> no comment. >> strategic reserve sales coming to an end and the senate from opec plus, likely be cutting production, may be the beginning of an upward trend in gas prices. 3.81, up from 3.75 a week ago. still down from the highest average we hit in june, 5.02 a gallon, but arizona, georgia, pennsylvania, wisconsin, numbers are not working in the party's favor and it's giving fodder to republicans who say biden's trip to saudi arabia to encou

jacqui: good to be with you all, i'm jacqui heinrich. and molly is in south carolina, and adam klotz in the weather center and rich at the white house. we'll start off with steve harrigan in north port. >> jacqui, the water in north port is going up and they're struggling to make rescues. a waiting list of 500 people, calling 911 they're trapped by the water and want to get out we've seen national guard, and private citizens, too, trying to help people. you can see the houses one after the other have become little islands about chest high, four or five feet height of water around some of these houses. first responders are joined by a lot of people who are bringing their air boats and private boats to help out and more aid from different parts of the state because some of the first responders have been going at it hard for several days and electricity still out for more than one million people. some of the buildings damaged so bad that you simply can't flip a switch and turn the electricity back on. jacqui, back to you. jacqui: all right,

. >> brian: jacqui heinrich is live in washington. jacqui?flation still around 40 year ohio. the strategic oil reserves sitting around 40-year low and this is all after the president, by the way, tried to sell them to bring down spiking gasoline prices and today we are going to get the september jobs report. it is expected to be softer than people hope for and all of this is happening as research is showing that americans saw the most severe wage cut, pay cut in 25 years under this president. the dallas federal reserve bank, they write: we find a majority of employed workers real inflation adjusted wages have failed to keep up with inflation in the past year. for these workers, the median decline in real wages is a little more than 8.5%. and with gas prices on the rise. todayens average for a gallon of regular sitting at 3.89. there is concern that the reduction cut it send fuel costs soaring. the white house says they are looking at options to rein in opec's control over energy prices including legislation and also other foreign sources of o

jacqui heinrich from washington with more. jacqui: hey, neil.h, this week we got a look inside the diplomatic efforts from this white house to stop opec plus from moving forward with oil production cuts, but didn't come out because the administration wanted it to. after days of u.s. officials painting the cuts as siding with russia in the war, saudis shot back in a lengthy statement revealing the white house asked them to delay the cuts for a month, suggesting the president wanted to pass off bad news until after the midterms. u.s. officials strongly denied that, saying they presented data showing the cuts are unnecessary and to the contrary, would actually hurt markets, and asked opec plus to delay any decision just until their next meeting. they also claim the saudis strong-armed other opec member states into supporting the cuts. >> we suggested that if they did have concerns about prices going down significantly, if their objective was to keep prices at a certain level, they should wait and see how markets reacted over the coming weeks. and w

neighborhoods, in the cities, in the bodegas, and of course you have just seen the report with jacqui heinrichn she is talking about the oil prices. hispanics aren't stupid especially those in texas who are you in really good oil jobs by the way. they know that these green new deal policies, i'm making grass and food prices much more expensive. this make it harder to raise the families, that is what they want. they don't sit around like alc, fretting about the weather channel change and whether they should have babies. they want babies, they want family, what they want to be able to studio for their babies and families. and then under the policy is coming out are making it harder and harder to have a family. by the way, last week, alc said that abortion is an economic issue to deal with to inflation. no it is not. hispanic women do not want to give their babies. they just want to be a video for their families. these policies not working, hispanics are waking up, but they're not welcome, but they're waking up. if democrats are for it. >> and rich are you k know know about me or anyone you have

jacqui heinrich has the story. >> it's been three consecutive days of tough economic readings, but don'tect any policy changes at the white house. >> the policies that we are doing to help mitigate and ease price pressures are having effect. look at goods inflation. it was flat if you take out energy. >> friday, the commerce department reported that sales were unexpectedly flat, households cutting back on buying cars, electronics limit stubbornly high inflation and rising interest rates. thursday, new data showed inflation jumped 8.2% from last year. largely driven by rising food, energy, housing costs. wednesday, the producer price index showed strong indication inflation has not peaked. by these critics, they blame his spending. >> biden came in and printed $4.1 trillion. this is uncomplicated, folks. >> tell people that the grass is not always greener. >> republicans win, inflation is going to get worse. it is that simple. >> the administration wants report is to say it too, pointing to an interview coming next week with kevin mccarthy, saying he continues to showcase how eager in mag

. >> jacqui heinrich is live on the north lawn what is the white house saying this hour? >> the white house is denying that they made a request. it's more of a response than we usually get from them. occasionally signalling that they're aware of the problem at the border. we got a read out with the president's call with the mexican president, some discussion of these issues. there's not a lot of discussion here at the white house about immigration or the border as annish european. even though the voters are giving this president his third lowest marks on that topic. a fox news poll shows 36% of voter as prove of biden's handling of the border. 60% disapprove. even though 67% describe themselves as extremely or very concerned about it, biden has not made border security a major focus of his administration. even immigrants advocates told politco that they're frustrated and felt a bit jealous as they watched biden follow-through on other promises like cancelling students debt, decriminalizing marijuana, passing gun safety reforms and climate spending. biden did submit a comp

jacqui heinrich starts us off from the north lawn. >> there is no timeline on when the consequences for the saudis that the president biden talked about might come. he might want to consult with congress and they are out of session until after the midterms but officials here are starting to paint a bit clearer of a picture of what it all might look like. the white house getting vocal about how seriously the president is considering calls from congress to scale back arms sales to saudi arabia after opec plus rejected white house please and slashed production. >> that is going to be on the table, that will be an option the president looks at. the spate and the scale, the size, the whole program of arms sales. >> the news prompting a rare exchange of public jabs. saudi arabia rejecting u.s. accusations it has sided with russia for them in the production cuts as a purely economic and a decision taken unanimously by all member states of the opec plus group. the saudis further alleged the white house pushed for a one-month delay fueling speculation he wanted to pass off bad news until after t

but white house correspondent jacqui heinrich, what is the current feeling about all of this at the whitese? >> you know, cassandra, if they are feeling anything, they are being pretty quiet about it. it has not been a great week for this administration the economy. although today's preliminary consumer sentiment report shows slightly improved numbers from last month and a bigger uptick than expected appear there is still uncertainty over the project area prices and also financial markets. on top of yesterday's inflation report show 8.2% jump from last year largely driven by food, energy and housing costs on the heels of consumer index price report that shows price has not peaked. manufacturers to make goods are still increasing. overall not a good picture for the president out on the campaign trail trying to raise money for democratic candidates. but the white house keeps giving us the same line that we have heard many times before. >> we are making progress. we are making progress on energy prices. we are making progress. we just have to -- we just have to stay at it. so, we have polici

. >> steve: jacqui heinrich joins us from the white house.back to the putin price hike, right? >> that's what they have been saying guys. good morning to you. opec plus led by the saudis and includes russia expected to announce that cut up to a million barrels per day which will be the largest cut since the beginning of the pandemic and also roughly the same amount that the biden administration has been selling each day from a strategic reserve in order to stabilize gas prices. so, now, as the reserves are set to come to an end later on this month, the impact or the cut rather would essentially have doubled the impact and potentially send gas prices soaring. the white house confirmed yesterday they have got no plans to continue selling the nation's reserves, which now sit at a 40 year low and all of this has reportedly sent the white house into a full blown panic. several top energy and national security officials went to saudi arabia late last month to try to stop the saudis from doing. this the white house also reportedly asked treasury sec

jacqui heinrich shows other polls seem to show right ward shift, particularly on the part of women. particular surprise, many thought the monolithic view women in particular with the supreme court roe v. wade reversal might use that as the issue and ding republicans that might be changing, right? reporter: yeah, neil. since the supreme court's decision democrats have really tried to make abortion their top issue but this new poll from the "new york times" and sienna college should at least turn that strategy on its head if democrats can respond in time. it will at least show the folly of that choice. abortion has faded from overall top voter concerns collectively. 44% of voters called inflation and the economy including jobs their top issue. compared to just 5% calling abortion their top issue. moreover, female voters are swinging away from democrats and toward republicans because of the economy. in september independent women voters favored democrats by 14 points. now they're backing republicans by 18 points. that is a huge swing in just a month's time. listen to this line from thi

jacqui heinrich is live on the north lawn of the white house.terday at this time, we were talking about it could happen. now it is happening. what is the white house going to do? >> it happened even bigger than we first expected, steve. the massive cut from opec even have the u.s. oil and gas industry hopeful that we would turn to domestic production to meet the moment. the president of the u.s. oil and gas association tweeting this. "opec said now. the option is all but gone now. the white house have one option left. it is the one that they never should have turned away from in the first place. the u.s. oil and gas industry, life comes at you pretty fast." but "the wall street journal" this morning dashing those dreams. "u.s. eases venezuela, allowing chevron to pump oil." would deliver significant sanction release if the venezuelan president, whose government, by the way, the u.s. does not even officially recognize, resume talks with the opposition leaders to begin holding free and fair elections in 2024 if your national security council did n

jacqui heinrich on what the latest polls are saying. she's at the white house. hi, jacqui. >> hi, neil. the first glass, today's gdp report looks good. considerable gain from the first and second quarters of negative growth. that 2.6% is driven in large part by government spending and increased exports. experts believe that those could drop off in the fourth quarter. also, another warning sign. if you look at all three quarters together, the growth is only .4%. which is extremely slow. more over, consumer spending is slowing down. that makes up almost 70% of the u.s. economy. so maybe not on the whole as good as it looks at first glass. the president thinks things look fine. >> great economic report today. things are looking good. >> despite that optimism that the job market is strong and a recession is not inevitable, voters are pessimistic. a u.s. a today poll shows 2/3s say the nation is already in a recession or depression. 10% say it's in a recovery. 61% of people say they're eating out less often. 50% have postponed vacations. 47% have cut back on groceries

. >> great to be here, i'm jacqui heinrich in washington. john roberts is off today. president biden talking about restrictions to fire up the base, but not as receptive to the message as supreme court had just overturned roe v. wade. >> sandra: a new monmouth poll shows inflation topping the list of concerns at 46%. abortion below voting, crime, immigration, and jobs. edward lawrence is live at the white house to kick things off. inflation, i should say, top of that list. abortion falls significantly below other issues, so edward, many are asking why do democrats focus on the other issues? >> that's a good question, 90 minutes ago the president spent most of his speech attacking republicans. yesterday the president talked about the bipartisan infrastructure bill and on sunday he's going to be on live now in a presidential forum and he will say that abortion, that you should be able to use federal money to use services around having an abortion, like going to have childcare. now, there's no real focus here yet on inflation. so fox news polling shows again, when you we

. >> john: right to it with jacqui heinrich, any sign, jacqui, in the face of this democrats are going to turn their strategy around? >> you know, john, since the supreme court decision on abortion, democrats have made abortion their number one issue. but this new poll from the "new york times" really should turn that strategy on its head, at least if democrats are paying attention. that survey among likely voters showed abortion has faded from top voter priorities and concerns. 44% are calling inflation and the economy, including jobs, their top worry. only 5% said abortion was their top concern. and moreover, female voters are moving away from democrats and toward republicans because of the economy. in september, independent women voters favor democrats by 14 points. new they are backing republicans by 18 points. that is a huge swing in just a month's time. and listen to this line, i'm shifting more toward republicans because i feel they are more geared towards business, said robin ackerman, 37-year-old democrat and mortgage officer planning to vote republican this fall. she said she

. >> bret: jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn. thank you. that g.d.p. report sent the dow up today 194 points. the s&p 500 fell 23. the nasdaq lost 178. let's talk about the state of the economy with l lindsey chief economist. how do you read these numbers today? >> well, it certainly was a solid report. and a step in the right direction, giving us welcomed reprieve after six consecutive months of negative activity at the start of the year. but, when i look at today's report, i caution be against looking at this as an indication of upward momentum from here. this is likely a static temporary increase. predominantly driven by international trade and a -- some temporary supports for the consumer. again, rather than indicative of underlying momentum in the economy. so, again, while this was a welcomed step, it's likely the only positive quarter that we will see for quite some time going forward. >> bret: that's interesting. it matches what i heard on some other channels today from people who worked in different administrations. democratic administrations.

. >> brian: here we go jacqui heinrich at the white house to tell us more.kie, the president is going to be going to pennsylvania. >> that's right. good morning. president joe biden heading to pittsburgh and philly this morning. going to be giving a speech about infrastructure and then also campaigning for lieutenant governor john fetterman as the e candidate's doctor said he had auditory processing disorder. but no work limits. the letter comes as fetterman's interview or actually rather fetterman's interview with burns where the reporter observed that fetterman had a tough time with smalltalk out of closed captioning interview. according to fetterman's doctor his speech was normal and continues to exhibit problems of auditor processing disorder which can come across as hearing difficulty. he has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office. fetterman's campaign released the letter yesterday and it is the most detailed information we have gotten about his health since an early june letter explaining a surgery that was done 17 days earlier to

i'm jacqui heinrich are. rich: and i'm rich edson.s comes as the midterms are just over three weeks away with races heating up across the nation. democrat raphael warnock and republican herschel walker faced off last night in their closely-watched race. we have jonathan serrie in atlanta, but we'll start off with dan springer in portland, oregon. dan. >> reporter: yeah. hey, rich. as you know, very few democrats have chosen to campaign with president biden this year, but when he asked if he could come out to oregon and help with the run for governor, tina said come on out. biden's three-state western spring began in colorado where he appeared with senator michael bennett who looks to be pretty safe there. he attended fundraisers in california and now he finishes up in portland. he gives a speech on lowering cost for american families. cotech is locked in a three-person race, and it's been locked up for months. betsy thompson, most believe is taking more support from the democrat than from the republican. she attacks cotech relentlessl

that is embedded with the ground force that can translate ground speed into air force feature jacqui heinrich the ground force commander's intent to aircrew paid the tile is talking to the j check the pilot had found some disturbed earth in a field is not sure exactly what it is. she described it to the j check he's convinced it's a more to keep in mind they've been being fired up by mortars for several days. he is keyed up to find mortar tubes and destroy them. the spout and the sensor operator discuss with that of the crossers did it just does not look like a mortar tube. much more likely scenario is it is a shovel this is a field it is disturbed earth so it looks like someone was doing some shoveling and put down the shovel. j check for the spout to drop a bomb on the mortar tube and the pilot said no. we can do that in the u.s. military doctor because under u.s. military document pilot falls in our power chain of command to the combined forces commanded the land for skulls a chain of command up to the land forces component. so the army or the marine corps correction ground force commander

jacqui heinrich at the white house with more. reporter: neil, with strategic reserve sales set to come to an end this month, signal from opec they will be cutting production, this may be the beginning 6 an upward trend in gas prices. today's average for a gallon of regular is $3.80 up from a week ago. still down from the highest average we hit in june, 5.01 a gallon. in states where democrats are in tight midterm races arizona, georgia, nevada, pennsylvania, wisconsin, these numbers are not working in the democrat party's favor. giving fodder to republicans saying biden's trip to saudi arabia to encourage opec plus to up production wasted a lot more political capital than it was worth. >> so much for joe biden being able to transact with the saudis and in trying to use the influence of his bully pulpit with the world marketplace. but what we ought to do is bringing the prices down by producing a lot mower here in the united states of america. remember when we did that once, larry? it worked quite well. reporter: the country's str

begin with jacqui heinrich, live at the white house. >> in 15 days we will know which way power is swinging in congress and most recent polling she's republicans have the edge in a lot of races. a keep your chin up style messaging game. the president said voters have to be patient because a lot of his legislative achievements will not kick in for a couple of years, but house speaker nancy pelosi, at risk of losing the speaker's gavel, taking sort of a manifestation through optimism approach. listen to this. >> i don't have any time to dwell on our not winning the house. so that is so scary, i agree with you, there's reason to be scared when you hear that. but the fact is, is that we fully intend to win. was i not clear? we are going to win this election. >> other democrats are more inclined to address the elephant in the room, like bernie sanders. true to form. >> i am worried about the level of voter turnout among young people and working people who will be voting democratic. and what democrats have got to do is contrast their economic plan with the republicans. >> and then the thread the

it's interesting, bret, that we have seen, you know, jacqui heinrich and some of your reporters, othery sort of walked around it. here we got an inside look of what is happening and going in biden's mind it was as matthew pointed out a private fundraiser. so he is talking about what happens there are sort of cascading consequences. he is also talking, i think, about his situation compared to john f. kennedy when he was president in 1962. and it just goes to show that we're looking at an adversary who is stuck between possible battle humiliation battle field humiliation or using a nuclear weapon biden is taking it very seriously. >> bret: as you are heading toward midterms nuclear armageddon, high gas prices is not the pitch on the bumper sticker you want. >> this is going to raise the anxieties of any swing voter out there. biden shouldn't be playing the role of color commentator in chief. there is need for leadership. there is concern biden isn't up to the job he doesn't have the skills with his age and tendency to blurt out these comments that should not be said publicly. these are t

. >> john: jacqui heinrich is live on the north lawn. and what happens from here? >> hey, john. today's release is the last portion of the 180 million barrels that the president began selling about six months ago. what's concerning to the president's critics is his willingness to keep on dipping into the country's emergency stockpile, now sitting around a 40-year low and right now there is really no indication just how low the president and the white house is willing to go. >> we have over 400 million barrels, that's a lot of barrels, and we are going to use them if we need to. we want the industry to increase production right now so that their barrels, private sector barrels can come into the market. >> the white house is planning to buy back what they have already sold when prices fell back to between 67 and $72 a barrel, but keep in mind congressional democrats blocked a plan by former president trump to replenish reserves when oil was at around $24 a barrel. so that being said, this plan is going to cost a lot more than it once would have, and moreover, the white house claim
