say whether or not an individual -- >> but, leslie -- >> -- can continue running for office as john fetter physician -- fetterman's physician -- >> you do not need to be a doctor to say i think he had a hard time understanding small talk, i think he needed the closed captioning in front of him. you don't need to be a doctor in order to share that kind of information with your viewers. howard: right. and how is it becoming part of a story, leslie, to simply say this was the experience we had in interviewing john fetter? otherwise -- fetterman? otherwise you just say nothing about the situation where, obviously, the man is struggling, and our sympathies are with him and his family to deal with the after effects of a stroke. >> again, it is perception versus reality. and when you have a race this tight, the perception is -- and republicans have run with it, which means the perception was accurate -- that it looked like this reporter was trying to throw this individual she interviewed as running for senate mt. state of pennsylvania, very close race, john fetterman, under the bus. look, we've h

he is also raising questions about john fetter, men's fitness for the office. and that is because fetter men suffered astray back in may and had some issues. at 1st with speaking, he has been getting better, he says and has put out a note from his doctor saying that he is fit for office. but we're going to see him live and unscripted answering questions with the assistance of a technical device that spells out the questions for him in writing. so this is a very important night for both of the candidates. i and for john ferryman, in particular being put to the test after i unfortunately suffering that stroke. so christian, why does pennsylvania matt to white? why is this race so important for the midterm? well, the midterms are all about control of congress. that's exactly what's at stake. and in the senate race, the ability of the president to pass laws and get his agenda through the senate is what's at stake. you've got an evenly divided senate, 50 republicans, 50 democrats. but right now, the vice president can cast a tie, breaking vote in favor of the democra

. >> my name is john fetter-woman. >> [cheers and applause]. >> you know what i would do if i was thet vote. first, get rid of the filibuster. next, codify roe. >> [cheers and applause]. >> abortion is the ballot. now in november. >> tucker: yeah. in november or whenever the election is. there is no chance that guy is going to win. of course pennsylvania is a purple state and he is running against a guy who has been attacked a lot. dr. oz. he has the backing of every democrat in washington. let's be real. that guy in the u.s. senate, refuse to believe it. it's not just fetterman. every democrat is talking like this even ones who identify as women. they are actual women whatever that means now. at the white house today. karine-jean pierre said that abortion restrictions not relevant to her are not just disturbing but also dangerous. to whom? she didn't get specific. in arizona, katie hobbs running for office there against lake just went on cnn to announce not only is she pro-choice. she won't support any restriction on abortion under any circumstances. >> do you support any legal limit

to you in pennsylvania, this race had been seen as an advantage for the democrat john fetter man butolitico report said it is a tossup. what is going on there? what are the dynamics? >> this race was always going to be close and the political pattern. not supposed to be a good year for democrats and the president's party tends to do worse. with that mine, fetterman and polling is strong and did have a stroke at the beginning of this general election cycle and his favorable ratings are going down as oz and he is fundraising and advertising against fetterman and he is painting him soft on crime not just in pennsylvania. but those things have cut into his approval ratings. he still does oz in the polls. but you have to take it. are. >> to nevada and where the democratic incumbent is seen as the most potential democrat running for the senate this year, what has happened? running against a well-known name in nevada? >> she is in a tossup race all of the recent polling that we have released shown this within the margin of error, he is the grandson of the legend in the state. he was a forme

. >> sanctuary cities, weak prosecutors, crime escalating and john fetter man says -- >> wanted to abolishel barnes, dangerously liberal on crime. judy: we are told that republicans spending $40 million on crime-related ads. more than triple what they spent. >> first, i agree with ruth, the fundamentals are not good for democrats but i think there are some weaknesses that are exposed in the strategy. hard to win a strategy. republicans have a 10-point advantage. second, very hard to win if you are not trusted and what has become the number two issue and that is violent crime. and it has been up. but the robbery and car scaking. it is not political. and people think crime is more a reality. bill clinton worked hard to give democrats credibility on crime through the crime bill. democrats have walked away from that crime bill. but they have not found another way to replace it. show they have som credibility and democratic mayors can keep the streets safe. that has to be priority one. and the final issue is homelessness and homelessness allegedly rampant on the streets and what do we do with t

. >> my name is john fetter woman. >> isn't this the craziest season yet? if john wins, she is coming to dc is the bisexual brazilian immigrant, i doubt it, but that is the point. you will see her on msnbc and o the cover of vogue and i'm sure they chinese already have a ful they chinese may already have hacked into his computer translator machine. i'm sure the fbi is all over that. let's turn to the wife of a former congressman, and of course cohost of fox and friend we can. when your husband was in congress, or you guys a package deal? >> we definitely helped each other on their trail. i took care of kids and if you couldn't make it to something o a campaign event, there is a chance i would be there to help them out. but look at, this is really interesting, you also forgot i was reality tv star as well. >> you are, officially. again i'm getting the booking now. i understand why you booked me. i think she is compelling, more compelling than he is in a lot of ways. she can speak. she doesn't dress like a teenager. but if you look at this couple, you talked

in part over concerns of john fetter man's health over a stroke he suffered last may. and the president is going to be fund-raising for john fetterman, and the two will be together at an infrastructure event in pittsburgh this afternoon. but president biden has largely been avoiding these kinds of big campaign-style rallies. doing less of those than his predecessors have at this point in the cycle but at this point in the cycle fund-raising is critical. the president has been doing multiple fund-raising events for weeks, and these events like this infrastructure event that we'll see biden and fetterman together, those are political. with less than three weeks to go, democrats will take any chance to herald accomplishments and this infrastructure bill is one of those. >> thank you very much. >>> a taxpayer group in wisconsin is asking the supreme court to step in and temporarily block the biden administration student loan forgiveness plan. they claim it would be a staggering blow for the treasury and taxpayers. lower courts have already dismissed the case, but this is on

and john fetter man will be usig that closed captioning throughout the debate to be able to make sure that he's understanding everything that he's talked about this auditory processing issue that he's had left over from that stroke. and so the oz campaign agreed to allow him to use that closed captioning technology which he took out for a public spin at an event over the weekend. you're seeing him with soamy klobuchar. that is an interesting piece at play. fetterman whose own campaign admitted it is not his strongest suit, debating against dr. memez oz. the republican nominee wanted more time together on the stage. they ended up with the one 60-minute debate. oz spending years in front of a camera talking to peopleality home. so it is a place that he feels very comfortable in front of a camera. but we want to see who could land the most arguments and punches. both of the candidates trying to paint the other as the most extreme. that if you send eerither of th to washington, you are the most extreme version of someone in their party. so we expect to hear more about that. both of them t

can you imagine the spell binding riveting speech if joe biden and john fetter han teamed up.arris. biden, harris and fetterman. make sure of the cameras are rolling, that's going to be our entire newscast tomorrow all the gaffes and word salads. adam laxalt holding a slight lead over his opponent. democratic catherine cortez masto. this could be the decider. in the end do republicans gain control of the senate? 20 seconds to you, governor? >> well, this is a big one and a lot of people are saying that if masto loses this, it's lights out for the democrats this year. and i think laxalt wins, i think the republicans take the senate by a few seats. it's going to be a good night november 8th. steve. >> carley: governor mike huckabee thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate you as always. >> thank you. >> todd: and i appreciate you too. >> carley: i appreciate all of you. >> todd: all of you fine folks out there in tv land. do you know who else we appreciate? "fox & friends" they begin right now. ♪ >> president biden decision to release 15 million barrels from our stra

we're not doing that fully in pennsylvania if john fetter man is not releasing medical records or answering agenda. maria: it's questionable to understand the need for the computer to be with him. how will he make decisions about pennsylvania and fight for the pennsylvanian people if in fact he needs to have a device alongside him. so is this just all the time he needs that device or is it just during an interview? i don't understand. >> no one knows. we've not been actually exposed to this before. it's the first in-person interview. here we are less than a month before the election and i've been asking john fetterman to answer questions on the campaign trail. initially he wasn't on the cam contain trail for the first couple months. but answer questions from voteers, answer questions from reporters while you're campaigning. that's what we normally do in a democracy. the concern is if you don't leave your home and answer questions, we don't know the answers to the questions. i don't think there's closed captioning on the floor of the senate. maybe he doesn't need closed captioning when he's

. >> john fetter --woman!reporter: fetterman is leaning into the issue of abortion rights. >> women are the reason we can win. don't piss women off- >> reporter: while oz released an ad this week emphasizing political moderation. >> extremism on both sides making thing worse. we need balance. message extremism, in washington. >> reporter: both campaigns signaling they understand the potential impact of these voters in a race where the result could determine the control of the senate. and, again, for his part, mehmet oz continues to lean into that moderation that we saw in that ad, as he tries to appeal to these more moderate female voters. as for fetterman, a source telling us he's going to continue hitting the color counties outside of philadelphia here. he's going to be doing smaller, more intimate events with female lawmakers talking about gun safety, about abortion rights, about economic issues. he's been doing larger rallies, john, but they want these to be smaller, more conversational events with women i
