we begin with white house corres correspondent kevin corke. good evening. >> kevin: got their hands full. good evening. sometimes headlines sound meaningful, but upon closer inspection, they mean little. administration pledge to release more in november in the wake of opec's decision to reduce production. 10 million more barrels, according to the white house. for a country that know coassumes on average close to 20 million of petroleum everyday, 10 million barrels seems less like a major move than underwhelming response to a potential crisis. the white house calling the move by opec short-sided. mr. biden said this. >> what about opec? >> opec. [indiscernible] -- >> trace: i am concerned and it is unnecessary, unnecessary, perhaps, but critics point blame at the administration, they say they are inviting crisis like this in effort to defeat the policyings. >> dependencies on foreign countries for american oil and gas is a choice, a choice this administration has made repeatedly. >> kevin: a choice, said a critic, after 100 days of declining pri

kevin corke in washington with more. kevin what is that delay by a month put you? potentially after the midterms? >> could it be? a quick check of the calendar says yes. good morning carley and todd appear there is an old saying in washington, if you don't like what they are sagging, you simply change the subject. for the biden white house that is familiar tactic. the latest cpi is out and yikes, 8.2% jump year over year. that is not good news. but the president obviously looking for a silver lining anywhere he can find one. he thinks he may have found one with a warning. >> today's report shows some progress. overall inflation was 2% over the last three months. that is down from 11% over the prior three months. that is progress. republican wins and inflation will get worse, it is that simple. >> 12:he is not exactly known for the accuracy of his predictions. by the way, he did say inflation would be transitory. just throwing that out there. by the way, this is the average price for a gallon of unleaded at uc inching ever closely to $4. if you think that is bad, im

sources expect something to happen next week. >> thank you, kevin cork. >> the "fox news @ night" commonsense department is under the impression that the biden administration has forgotten some key concepts from the economics 101 classes. the chief of staff is praising the fact that social security benefits are set to increase by 8.7%, and the press secretary also considers this a windfall for seniors saying that we will put more money in their pockets and it is true that the social security benefit is the largest 1981, prompting us to question what was happening in 1981. massive inflation with sky high interest rates. here is where the economic 101 stuff comes into play. social security benefits are based upon the consumer price index, the white house is touting a little breathing room for seniors, the truth is that they are underwater because the verizon benefits does not offset the impact of inflation, but the president maintains inflation will rise, except when joe biden took office it was at 1.4% and now it's 8.2% in the common sense department would

kevin corke has the details from washington. kevin, what happened? >> so much for that.usly the electorate is energized. that is despite fears of obstacles and voter suppression be i think a find this really fascinating for over 7 million votes cast so far. for those of you keeping score at home, inquiring minds want to know. how is that voter suppression jim crow 2.0 working out for y you? that's what democrats in georgia and white house officials in particular said they were worried about. >> i'm not going to get into specifics about what georgia voters are doing. what i am saying is that generally speaking, or more broadly speaking, high turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time. >> [chuckling] there is already been nearly a million votes cast. 586-957. that is obviously news to millions of americans and yet here's one of joe biden's infamous predictions about the state's new voting rules. remember this? >> it's the most pernicious thing... this makes jim crow looks like jim eagle. this is jim crow on steroids, what they are doing in georgia and 40

. >> todd: now kevin corke live in washington with more, kevin, good morning to you. >> always greatbe with you, guys. let me just quote a seasonally appropriate film that actually debuted about 38 years ago. who are you going to call? not ghostbusters but in this case democrats you are going to call barack obama. that is right. when you need political closure to rally the base and raise money make the closing argument, you've got it. by the way, that is precisely what the president is expected to do with stops planned for nevada and wisconsin and michigan. as you pointed out, carley, georgia. and stacey abrams and raphael warnock and others in the hopes of helping the democrats avoid a rib wave in less than two weeks. joe biden and kamala harris also hitting the trail. speaking of that race in georgia, one of the big surprises of the campaign season those far, former university of georgia running back and heisman trophy winner herschel walker. boy, he can play. surging ahead in the senate race with raphael warnock okay statistically, it is a type at the fact that he is right there s

kevin corke with more. >> good morning to you. there is bad and there is this. high gas prices, high food prices, the biden administration warning americans yep, things are getting worse because we are going to talk about home heating costs on the rise and we aren't talking about a little bit too, it's going to hit u.s. households. set to pay $931 on heating this winter. it's up twosix box from just last year. according to the energy information which means if you are already struggling with soaring costs in other areas of your families budget, you get to add this to the pile, if that weren't bad enough, the cost of philadelphia, it's still on the rise. it's down from the all-time high but it's still wicked high especially when you consider where it was when president trump left office. as you see, $3.87 a gallon. the subject of oil and gas, bloomberg is reporting that 10-50000000 barrels will be released you a strategic petroleum reserve at some point this week. that is the latest from the $180 million plan. critics say it's all part of an unflattering tapestry

. >> todd: kevin corke with the details. >> if nothing else it is a novel political strategy. talk about something, anything other than what voters are talking about in the hopes that temporarily they are focused on other issues. that is what the white house appears to be doing lately, but if the latest polling is accurately it may not be working out as the administration had hoped. as if the president was giving enough to the most important issues facing american families, only 31% agree according to the latest survey. meanwhile, the president was on. thursday in pennsylvania for john fetterman, and it was a signature act, he once again feigned indignation as very simple questions by the press spirits because there haven't been in a candidates campaigning with you. >> that's not true, there were 15, count, count! >> and will there be more? >> yeah. >> 16 request in the country and i don't know who's going where. >> okay, 16 or 18 request to show up and to stand alongside the president. democrats, he says, we will find out. democrats are sounding the alarm about the need to co

kevin corke joins us live with more, kevin. >> just added to the list, right?are dealing with high gas prices, high food prices and the biden administration morning heating your home this winter will cost you a lot more. with u.s. household to paid $191 this winter, that is up $206 from last year. up 28% rise according to the eia, which means if you are already struggling with the other things in your budget, well, throw this on to it because things don't seem to be getting better. and speaking of not getting better at the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded not a whole lot better. in fact, worse than a month ago. look at that, a year ago $3.32 but up $3.87 more significant than it was. president trump left office. bloomberg is reporting 1 10-15000000 barrels the u.s. petroleum reserve, the latest with 181 million-barrel plan. the critics say this is frankly part of a tapestry of turmoil for the administration that likely sock them where it hurts come the midterms. >> the economy is that issue that has been really strong and continues to motivate vot

. >> todd: may be kevin corke gives to the bottom of this and he is live in washington with more, kevin. >> so much to get to, now, the white house is accusing opec of saddling up to russia. in the precious, they are hurting the global economy by rg oil production as currently mentioned. they are ignoring the presidents police by cutting 2 million barrels of oil production a day. the president says he plans to release more oil for the strategic reserves here in the states upwards of 10 million barrels in november. however, that is just a drop in the bucket, say critics because the u.s. uses 20 million barrels of petroleum every day. and the u.s. oil and gas association practically incandescent. they say this, "opec says no, options all but gone, the strategic petroleum reserve. the white house has one option left and it is the one option they should never have turned away from in the first place. the u.s.-based oil gas industry." life comes at you pretty fast. in the meantime the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded continues to inch upward appeared now sitting at $3$3.80 a

kevin corke, thank you. president biden continues to play the blame game over inflation in the nation's overall economic outlook for the president is now openly talking about other concerning numbers, like his age. let's bring in tonight's political panel. former new york state senator, democratic strategist david carlucci and former chairman of the house oversight committee, fox news contributor jason chaffetz. gentlemen, welcome to both. jason, i keep looking at the president's approval numbers and they are going back down. he continues this blame game, it started in afghanistan. it was the general's fault and that it is putin's price hike. it's clear people aren't buying it, even members of his own party. why is he not holding a little accountability in this incentive blaming the mega maga republicans. >> it's not a good look. democrats have the house and senate and the presidency. they can try to blame donald trump or somebody else along the way but they've had the reins for a couple years now. every sta

kevin corke, thank you, my friend. question tonight about the words and actions of president kamala harris and her boss as the white house frantically tries reclaim lost ground and really rework messaging when it comes to the economy. let's bring in the panel. fox news contributor leslie marshal and inferno author curt schlickter. welcome to you both. it's interesting, leslie, because you look at these numbers and see in states like arizona, texas and nevada, we're seeing an increase in hispanic voters toward the g.o.p. i want to put the polls on the screen if i can. this is the suffolk poll. this is hispanics. democratic candidates are voting 52%, right? here you have it, republican candidates 46%. that's narrowing the margin. now, you look at the black voters, democrats, they go 71% toward democrats. 21% toward republicans. interesting because trump carried 12% of blacks and 32% of hispanics and he increased it. so the numbers are changing. >> the numbers are changing but the demographics of the voting base are chang

. >> carley: kevin corke live in washington. kevin? >> that's certainly debatable. good morning to both of you. that was quite the prognostication by the man who wrongly predicted that inflation would be transitory and the pandemic was over when it wasn't. now he says, don't worry. things are going to be just fine. in fact he is sure that we will not end up in a recession. >> there is no guarantee. i do not think there will be a recession. if there is it'll be a slight recession. we'll move down slightly. so much has been accomplished that the idea that there is something as a recession is just not there. >> let's be honest about it. that's up as it is that's news to most experts as you point out have said by all accounts we are in a recession with a 40 year high number for inflation. speaking of the economy, biden tried his best to stay on message on that topic before this happened. >> look at what we've got done. we've passed so much legislation that significantly makes a point about... for example, the american rescue plan, the legislation to deal with inflation.

kevin corke has more. >> kevin: president biden, you will recall, was quick to claim responsibility for falling gas prices after a summer of paying at the pump. many states are seeing soaring prices, the white house is saying, we're not to blame. >> is the president responsible for gas prices going up? >> so it is a lot more nuance than that, there has been pandemic and putin's war and putin's war has increased gas prices at the pump. >> kevin: triple a's national average sits just north of 380 a galleon, californians are getting pum belled averaging $6.40 a gallon. rising a dollar just last month. golden staters are not alone, white house has to admit, there is more work to do. >> we have never said that we were done here, but we have seen, we have seen fastest decline in gasoline prices in over a decade because of what this president has done. >> arizona's lasco says this, make energy prices affordable again and john condition dee adding gas prices are on the rise again. i won't do it like he does it, america's gas reserve at a low, president is responsible for both. asked about resto

. >> todd: kevin corke, from washington. >> kevin: everybody getting out and voting early, maybe not, but an awful lot of people despite fears of voter supregsz, carley eluded to this, north of 7 million votes already cast so far, so inquiring minds want to know, what about that voter suppression in jim crow 2.0? recall that is what democrats in georgia were worried about and the same can be said for the white house. >> not going to get into specifics of what georgia voters are doing, what i'm saying is generally speaking again, more broadly speaking, of course high turnout in voter suppression can take place at the same time. >> kevin: that is tough to stretch, you know, okay, maybe so. speaking of great state of georgia, run-off dead ahead, walker, raphael warnock, toss-up, probably not going to know about that seat until first of the year, we'll see. as we stated, the peach state, there has been a million votes cast there, can you believe it? 986, 597, that's a lot. if that is voter supregsz, news to a lot of people, yet here is joe biden with infamous prediction. you remember thi

kevin corke live in washington, kevin. >> we knew this would happen, but what is really interesting, making decisions like this. critics have argued for quite some time at least from the national security perspective, that this is a suspect move and it is political. the biden white house says, we have to do what we have to do's and help the american people. so as carley pointed out they will draw 50 million barrels from the spr appear that number could go up your check out the statement from the white house, "the president is calling on the dod to be ready to move forward with additional, significant spr sales this winter if needed. russia or other actions disrupting the global market. we are keeping an eye on. one look at the spr levels now compared to the beginning of 2022, yeah, you can see why there has been cause for alarm and many corners around the country." by the way, mass corruption by the white house itself with a couple of weeks ago said this... >> we had conversations about releasing more oil from the petroleum reserve? how will the president keep the supply up? >> so, w

pete: kevin cork, one of the best. it is of note that president biden is all over the west coast but not doing any campaigning for any candidate in key states like nevada and arizona were normally you would want the president of the united states on stage, no one is asking him to show up. i will ask you as our official georgia correspondent your reaction to the debate. joe: going to that debate i wasn't hopeful that herschel would do bad, he said rafael warnock is a good speaker with some of that barack obama ability to say what conservatives think and turn it at the end am not sure where he is and you are not upset by it. two state of the union addresses, they almost clapped, couldn't quite the deuce what he was getting at. herschel is plainspoken and embraces his accent which we love to have them in georgia and says things like he talked about insulin and made such a good point the georgians will respond to that. this is an interesting race. we have brian kemp, stacy abrams, warnock, who brings voters for who? that i

rachel: kevin cork, good morning. >> reporter: the president wasn't revealing classified intelligencedraiser and made the jaw-dropping claim saying, quote, we've not face the prospect of armageddon since kennedy and the cuban missile crisis, he, as in vladimir putin, is not joking when he talks about potential use of nuclear weapons but it wasn't like it sounded. they said the warnings are happening in private out there in public, the white house is saying they are pinning a different picture of viner put net nuclear ambitions and america's potential response. >> he was reinforcing what we have been saying which is how seriously we take these threats about nuclear weapons as we have done when the russians made these threats throughout the conflict. >> reporter: but how about this? shone hannity had a lot to say. a lot of people following this story, you will find this interesting, he said this. after the government has been trying to massage back this whole issue. >> no one in the white house has articulated a strategy to determine vladimir put more work on a diplomatic solution, the

kevin corke with the details, kevin. >> as you know, the president loves to get out of town.s going to do it again this weekend. speaking of what he likes to do, he also likes to talk about things other than what voters are frankly concerned about, at least somewhat. however, if the strategy is meant to make all the difference, you may not be doing so. let me show you the latest smallmouth pole. most people feel like he's just not paying attention enough to the things that really matter. only 31% of those surveyed said, "the president is giving attention to the most important issues facing americans each and every day. speaking of the president on thursday he was on a stop in the keystone state, the commonwealth of pennsylvania for john fetterman seen on the left. still needs assistant to speak and have interviews. by the way, the president did field questions both before he left the white house and when he was on the ground in pennsylvania. but once again, he copped an attitude when asked simple questions. >> there haven't been that many candidates campaigning with you. >> t

. >> brian: that may be news to you but not kevin corke, his live in washington with the highlights, in. >> great to be with you, steve and rachel, of course it's the time of year that is to say it's time to make sure you get out there and make your voices heard. now let me show you what's happening all over the country. early voting. it's not just one or two states it's really sweeping the nation. if you look carefully you will see the great state of ohio is among those where they are already counting ballots. which means debates like last night between j.d. vans and tim ryan kind of took an outsized bit of importance especially on issues like jobs, the economy, and motor security. >> you cannot honestly pretend to be a defender of voter security when you voted for amnesty multiple times in the congress. you cannot pretend to be a defender of border security when you voted against border wall funding multiple times. >> punches thrown politically speaking, meantime over in utah, republican turned democrat leaning independent evan mcmullen was actually booed with g incumbent mike lee.

kevin corke in washington with the latest. >> more saber rattling and threats from russian leaders, even as president biden continues his efforts to keep not just the u.s. but other global communities squarely behind ukraine's government even as it faces withering assault from the russians. russia is obviously taking notice of that and in turn that could help to fuel moscow's latest barrage on kyiv. leaders warned that there is "more to come. here is mr. madge of medvedev. with the "political regime" oppose a constant direct and clear threat to russia. the first episode has been played. there will be others." president biden hoping to convince other g7 countries to stand in the gap behind kyiv's to oblivion thinking it support for yesterday saying progressive element productive conversation, air defense is the number one quality and we also need new york leadership, with support for our resolution, that would be the resolution. biden's push comes against a backdrop of dire warnings that the kremlin could go nuclear if need be. "he's not joking when he talks about the potential use on tac

kevin cork, thank you. >>> a letter comes from president biden, urging him to end the war. now, they say the letter was sent by a mistake. let's bring in michael allen, it is great to have you. 30 progressives signed that letter over the summer time and i want to read part of it. quoting here, "we urge you to president biden to make diplomatic efforts in support of a negotiated settlement and cease-fire, engage in direct talks with russia and explore prospects for a new europe security and arrangement acceptable to all parties that'll allow for a sovereign and independent ukraine and in coordination with our ukrainian partner," they even mentioned sanction relief. michael, what do you think of this? >> well, this is why we should not let the squad do national security. they come dangerously close to say let putin carries the day here. their letters were inaccurate in numerous places. it is designed the make the ukrainians seem like they conquered less territories than they have. for the united states and russia to negotiate without the ukrainians. it was a bad idea, they wi

kevin corke is following the latest reaction and no pressure at the white house is facing tonight. >> this is interesting. at the vice president is at hitting the late-night comedy circuit tonight. we will have a bit more about that coming up later. however, this visit to texas is renewing the focus on her role as a so-called borders are. despite please, even from some members of her party to visit the southern border, tackling the nations immigration problem nope. it wasn't what brought the vp t texas saturday. >> there is an election in 31 days. and it will matter. now it won't matter who your county prosecutors. if you live in a place where there is a state law that has criminalized that doctors and nurses and healthcare providers. >> there you go. during her visit to austin, great town, she did not into th border crisis. as you her, she used her appearance alongside advocates to call the lone star state policies on abortion quell in morel. that has some republicans absolutely fuming. allowing accusations that she has that flat-out abandon the people along the border in particular

kevin corke live in washington. the young lady to my right was not even born in 1984. >> i'm not surprised by that. talented though she is she is young. i on the other hand was already in college, i believe. [laughter] great to be with you this morning. we anticipated this move by the white house. there are consequences to driving down the spr to its lowest level since 1984. critics argue from a national security perspective this move by the white house is suspect and purely political. yet again, mr. biden is drawing from the pool for yet another summer between 10-15000000 barrels and, of course, there is this from the white house. the president is calling on the department of energy to be ready to move forward with additional significant strategic petroleum reserves sales this wednesday winter, if needed, due to russia or other actions disrupting global markets. there is that. one look at the levels now especially when compared with the beginning of 2022 and you can see why there has been great because for alarm in

kevin corke live, not virtually, in person. >> carley: in person live and living color.ducation as you know is a pretty huge story line this election cycle and it's where a lot of the important voting blocs really make an impact on the races. in particular we have what suburban moms are thinking. they will make their shifting support towards republicans is why reliably liberal teachers unions are pouring a lot of money into the race to buoy the left. how much money, you ask? we are talking about a massive war chest and spending to be sure. but lawmakers say parents are leaving the democrats in droves because of their party's support for woke ideology in school, trans education for elementary school aged kids, and critical race theory. >> i will sign a parental bill of rights but we'll put parents in charge for educations in their sons and daughters, takes those tuition dollars to the school they want to go to. >> it worked in virginia, it may work in wisconsin. meantime joe biden was out in the campaign trail sort of as todd mentioned, virtually campaigning for a pair of

we begin with president biden and the ever-growing blame game ahead of the midterms kevin corke is live in the nation's capital with more. >> better late than never the old saying goes that way but here is a question could the white house as a focus on kitchen table issues have come too late to save the party from a redwinged blow and the midterms? the white house hopes it's not so. today, they shifted away from racial and gender ideology climate change and abortion to talk about the economy. and to acknowledge the frustration of the american people. i just think that one of the things that i think frustrates the american people as i know the world is in a bit of disarray and they want to know what are we doing. there is a lot going on that we are doing and it adds up. >> among the things that they'r doing the president said today is cracking down on surprised fees and consumers forced to pa it on things like cable bills and hotel rooms and concert tickets while us financial regulators the fair bank visa from has to checks and overdrafts are absolutely unfai in the white house says they

"we have to address this in no way that is about giving resources based on equity. understanding that we fight for equality but also we need to fight for equity." the comments as you can imagine caused many to wonder if the administration would do a lot help based solely on race which of course is not the case. today harris dodged questions about her comments which is if nothing else temporarily knocked the white house off message. "we are committed to quickly getting resources to all communities impacted." this is president biden promised $60 million in aid to puerto rico. current death toll from hurricane fiona standin

kevin corke as alive and washington with what the president is saying and what walk backs with might expect in the briefing room wednesday. >> i look forward to those evening to you. the president has a penchant fo tall tales of purÉed misstatements and misrememberin and frankly his reputation is legendary in town. however, in this interview with jake tapper he fed into just a bit with a member of answers that can best be described as false or misleading or even worse, flat out lies. ask about whether experts at many of whom have already said were in a recession are right when they say if were not how w certainly will be guided said this. >> there is no guarantee that their website at en think that will be a recession at there is a to be a slight one. >> if there is. are you kidding? a truth is we are already in th throes of every session. what are year highs and inflation will do that. had asked for his and and bemis and fist saudi trepat to ask fo a break on oil, the biden said, let's get straight why i went i did go about oil i went about making sure that we make sure that we were

at the white house corn kevin corke's live in nations capital. >> good evening this is one of those storiesthat we like to follow because it really does have a long-term impact it's a catch for democrats that they talk about how they spent it trillion dollars to save the economy which obviously they didn't they could politically bludgeoned if they talk about their idea of reimagining policing and how it would make cities safer, voters break out the pitchforks torches. a list of topics democrats can safely broach is shrinking by the day and that's a well problem for this white house if you can't talk about the econom or crime, the border inflation or school choice, apparently abortion will have to do but th president promising tuesday to dnc audience that the first avail you will send it to the next congress will be legislation to reinstate the abortion protection of a row versus wade. a curious declaration considering inflationary and economic when nation really are what's striving most to the polls. decision comes despite the latest new york times siena survey which shows only 4 percent of

kevin corke is live in the nation's capital. >> good evening. had there are critics of plenty. but the white house still insists this is a response to a ongoing national emergency that deserves special attention. by that definition, it's not political. >> it's not politically motivated at all. it's motivated to make sure i continue to push on what i've been pushing on. that is it making sure there's enough oil that's being prompte by the companies so that we hav the ability to be able to produce enough gas in that we need at home. >> that statement flies in the face of the administration's actual policies. noting when compared to other administrations, biden slammed the door domestic production restricting better policing to an unprecedented level. it say nothing of sitting on more than 4,000 pending applications for permits to drill. he was timbs to her reacting. we reminded the white house at the pick of actions that will make it much harder to produce at the us barrels that they intended to eventually buy back. fixing the prior mistakes will have far greater impact than anyt

kevin cork is live in washington with the details. >> reporter: credit for the quick work by authoritiesd about the nature of the assault is raising questions even as we get more answers, this from a spokesperson for the speaker, mister pelosi was admitted to zuckerberg san francisco general hospital where he underwent successful surgery to repair a skull fracture, serious injuries to his right arm and hands. 's doctors expect full recovery. according to police, david depape will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary and other felonies. according to chief bill scott, the motive for the attack is still being determined. >> based on our investigation this was not a random act. this was intentional. and it is wrong. >> reporter: almost immediately political luminaries weighed in including president biden. >> president biden: there is too much violence, political violence. what makes us stink? one party can talk about stolen elections, covid being a hoax, a whole bunch of lies. >> reporter: no one talked about that when people like rand paul was attacked, when t

kevin corke live in washington with more. >> i love how excited you get when you get a chance to talk a little business, my friend. good morning to the both of you and sometimes you've got to go to the golden state to pick up a little bit of gold and of course that means a well-timed trip to california with the midterms around the corner, it's pretty much what the doctor ordered. unfortunately for democrats and in particular the biden white house, this trip comes as a party is being blamed for border insecurity. take los angeles for example. homicide rates way up. robberies come of the same story. violent crime, are you kidding me? up 11.6%. add to that, how about wholesale inflation? we are wondering if things might tend to back off a bit. not so. 8.5% year over year. but the president says he still not convinced that a recession will grip the nation. >> i don't think there will be a recession. if there is it'll be a very slight recession. there is so much that has been accomplished that the idea that there is something that there isn't automatic to the recession, it isn't there. >>

. >> brian: kevin corke is in washington to tell us more. kevin? >> good morning, guys.itics 101 says this when it documents debates. lower expectations. just tamp it down and that's especially true if you are pennsylvania senate candidate john fetterman but don't take my word for it. i have this to share from his campaign. let's be clear about this matchup. dr. oz has been a professional tv personality for the last two decades. we'll admit this isn't's john's format. look no further than the debates from the primary earlier this year. if we're all being honest, oz clearly comes into tuesday night with a huge built in advantage. you see how that works? speaking of advantages. well, right now, it is mr. fetterman who by the way will be using closed captioning during the debate. leading in the real clear politics average. but there is obviously more momentum building on the side of dr. oz. and he says he knows why. >> if you had a magic wand to do anything he wanted to, his goal would be to release murderers from life in prison. releasing murderers from life in prison with

kevin corke probably finds this deliciously ironic and joins us now from our nation's capital, kevin.ow me all too well. we begin this hour with a question. is it too little too late for democrats? ainsley makes a great point. tools too late that is to shift focus as here we are now in the 11th hour of the midterm campaign season. democrats on capitol hill led by the house speaker nancy pelosi apparently have finally figured out that climate change, crt, transgender education for school aged children and abortion aren't exactly high on the list of most important issues for a number of americans. it is still the economy, stupid. along with inflation. and crime in particular. and in a letter to colleagues, pelosi noted the importance of emphasizing the democrats people over politics agenda. quote: as democrats, we believe that every american deserves to live in a safe community necessary foundation on which americans can thrive we have emphasized respect for those who serve and for those, well, whom they serve. with accountment and transparency. that is why our house majority has taken

kevin corke live in the nation's capital more with this. >> evening you, my friend. no basement campaigning for joe biden this fall. the president says he'll be out there. really out there. on the stump for democratic candidates all over the country as a midterms of course approach. thhe swears they want and too. >> do you think they are making a mistake? >> i've already gotten in 48 and a lot more advanced in the 20s if you know what i mean. bigger okay! there is that. if you are not quite sure about that number, 16-18, skeptical even, understandable. the past week box can confirm that biden appeared with five candidates running in the midterm election but there's nothing to compare his 15-18 request. it's easy to see why some candidates don't want him to come. after all the surging violence sweeping many of america's democrat run cities to say nothing of an comfortably high energy costs everywhere, this budget is a branch. yes, there is a number of tight races all across the country and we are talking about control of washington, hanging in the balance. so biden's

. >> steve: meanwhile, kevin corke is joining us from d.c. with the post game wrap up. y there, kevin. >> good to be with you, steve, ainsley and lj good morning. a very busy night for politics across the country with key midterm debate duals in new york and michigan. in particular. let's begin in the keystone state democrat and recent stroke survivor john fetterman sadly struggled throughout his matchup against tv savvy dr. oz. so much so, in fact, one critic said they should have used the mercy rule and called it a night after about 20 minutes. here's a sample. >> you shouldn't shown up on the campaign trail and not answered voters once from the campaign trail. haven't answered questions from media. this is the only debate i could come to get to you talk to me on i had to beg on my knees to get to you come. >> now, to be clear, dr. oz didn't throw all strikes during the debate. but at times his opponent still struck out. like this walkback of fetterman's anti-fracking past. >> i absolutely support fracking. >> you have made two conflicting statements regarding fracking
