tom cotton was on here laughing at the uproar his editorial caused the next day and this is what he says>> steve: ultimately mr. bennett saw the benefit of printing cotton's words and thought that people should see it because, you know, the slogan is all the news that is fit to print except now in the new "new york times" maybe the people who are now the new subscribers don't want to read the other side. >> not just the subscribers it is the woke employees who turned on bennett as well. >> steve: i think you are right. >> comes back who is hiring them? whoever takes over as editor should fire the people that reflects the type of product that people want to read not that the left wants to read. >> >> steve: not exactly fair and balanced over there at the gray lady. >> brian: no. coming up on this show. the midterms are less than three weeks away. >> steve: lawrence jones is talking to florida voters in okeechobee on the top issue, which, lawrence, i would imagine is prices and maybe the price of breakfast. >> lawrence: that's exactly right. good morning, family. the latest polling in sien

tom cotton and i were on just to look at this. when you say that fracking is a disdain on pennsylvania and you showed john fetterman saying what he believes, that is insulting to people making their living in that area. it destroys communities. and we drive up inflation because energy drives a third of the total inflation we see. may be for most of us, the most important reality is it makes us subservient to our enemies. if you want energy independence and dominance, get the actual gas out of pennsylvania. this is a big story. if you truly love the environment, if you really love the environment, you should root for natural gas. that's how we drop our carbon footprint the last 15 years. >> they are predicting gas prices, natural gas prices will go up dramatically and they may actually lose the electric grid in new england as a result of the shortage of natural gas. we will take a break and come back. things are just getting started. dr. oz will stay with us. when we return, newt gingrich and senator scott and tom cotton will join

this is what tom cotton supports. this is what the republican party of donald trump in 2022 supports. i've never seen anything like it. let's bring in political reporter for the atlanta journal constitution, greg luce. a lot of people said after the "access hollywood" tape that is going to finish trump. i don't think so. a guy who went on howard stern and wanted to have sex with a dead princess because he liked her skin. trump did, though, in a rare act of contrition, apologize for his actions. herschel walker is lying day in and day out. and i just, i'm just wondering are the republicans going to just fall in line. by the way, for people watching, greg is a reporter, what i'm saying i'm characterizing "the new york times" reports, the court papers. greg is not agreeing with any conclusions i'm drawing here. i want to stay that because we're on a split screen, but greg, there is a question, though, that reporters are asking that you're asking, will this be a bridge too far that herschel walker caught lying on the camp

stuart: a former editor at the new york times who resigned after publishing senator tom cotton's op-edper. he says the new york times, quote, set me on fire and threw me in the garbage. greg jarrett joins me now. what does this say about the new york times? i think they are run by wokeys. >> reporter: you are right in the upper left-hand side of the front page, all the news is fit to print, there out to be a caveat that says as long as it adheres to uber woke and cancel culture and anything that advances political, social and racial justice, think back to what this was all about. the new york times invited senator tom cotton to publish an op-ed and what he said was to quell all of the violence racking cities across america and especially in washington dc at the time we should consider calling in the national guard. there was vandalism, arson, looting, stabbings, murderers, billions of dollars in damage. it was eminently reasonable the staff at the new york times revolted. bennett was fired. they issued apologies that said that op-ed didn't meet our standards. what standards? what value

tom cotton says -- he salsberger set me on fire and used it against me. colleague treating me like an incompetent facetious. >> we know this is how the left act. he should not be so bewildered. >> this reminds me back when i was selling real estate and donald trump decided to run for president, i remember my clients, i can't have him working as our president but we love him. people were afraid of localizing their true feelings. you can't be in the middle, extreme to the right or left and people don't feel they can be authentic. this goes back to and this is what i tell my nephew and niece and my son. tell me who you feel. i am not going to hold it against you. it is important for the people in this country that they can be authentically themselves. that's what the home is about, feeling free and feeling comfortable with yourselves. nowadays, you have to be so careful of what you say. barry wise resigns and he wanted to publish an op-ed. here is what barry wise said happened at the time and they denied it. here is their claim. >> there was a discussion abo

governor, you saw key republican senators tom cotton and rick scott rally with walker in georgia todayat is the political strategy from your fellow republicans here? >> they want to win this, wolf, because they think the majority in the senate depends on that and these allegations are one thing, the fact that his family has come out strongly against him. the fact he's been a terrible candidate to me, i just think it's a bridge too far. and as i said, just the other day, i'm a republican. i'd like to see republicans win the senate. i think they will win the house. but, you know, at some point it just not about who is in power. i think the problem in our country today is that both parties seek power. whatever it takes you got democrats supporting crazy republicans or extreme republicans in primaries in order to get them nominated so that they can win the general election. i mean, it's absurd. it's a search for power and whenever you do that, you can often find yourself bankrupt. >> yeah, the democrats point out they want those crazy republicans as you say to lose in the general election

i'm sure tom cotton was glad he was in the background on that. you're still in georgia. you saw senator warnock last night. tell me, how is that race breaking on the ground right now? >> i sent it to you because i was there. i was standing ten feet from herschel walker when he told that inspiring story about the bulls. >> wow. >> the horny bull and his prey. i always say the one thing -- you focus on the fact that he impregnated the three cows, which has that weird echo of herschel walker's personal life with the three impregnated -- the three other women he's had children with -- >> right. >> -- and the fact he wants to go have sex with more and impregnate more of the cows, that's interesting. what's really important in that story is he's abandoning the original three cows after he impregnated them, which is where you get into that true trumpy-ness of this thing, projection or confession. that's how you know he's the perfect trump candidate. ultimate case of projection and confession there. sitting in that parking lot in carrollton, georgia, and watching him tell that s

senator tom cotton, republican, is here with me down the stretch. first of all, what do you make of these latest power ranking, shifting over to the gop? just slightly but it's happening. what's going on in your estimation? >> it's not surprising that more americans are reputeuating joe biden. inflation continues to run very high. stock market has fallen over the last year and a half. more crime on the streets across america. we have a drug epidemic unlike anything this country has seen. i was on the campaign trail yesterday in pennsylvania with dr. oz. we visited a natural gas pad, it provides thousands of good high paying jobs to hard working pennsylvanians and ohioans. it provides low cost energy to america. it helps america support our allies around the world who rather get american gas rather than russian gas. it's good for our environment. it's so clean burning. it's opposed to coal. john fetterman and joe biden and the democrats would ban the techniques that we have to get that gas out the ground. that's why democrats are losing in the polls.

herschel walker teamed up with the senate's leading republicans, arkansas senator tom cotton and florida senator rick scott, making little mention of the controversy, framing it as an attack on him. >> you can see what they're doing-- they'll do whatever it takes, say whatever they have to say, because they want this seat right here. >> reporter: while scott and cotton are embracing walker, cbs news has learned g.o.p. leaders and strategists are increasingly concerned his troubles could cost him in the pivotal senate race. what do you say to those in your party who have concerns? >> herschel walker lived the dream of this country. he's come from the ground up, from a small town with no money. he's worked hard every day. he believes in this country. and that's why people are going to vote for him. >> reporter: in recent days, new reports emerged that walker, who opposes abortion, paid for the procedure for a woman in 2009, then urged her to have a second abortion. the woman claims to be the mother of his child, and said walker's wife has reportedly texted her. today, walker continued to d

you have tom cotton, who actually could be a serious human being. he went to harvard. he served in the army, but he is there. but they cut this deal that they would do anything for power. and once you do that, once you say that, well, everything that we believed we don't care about. once you go with donald trump, once donald trump is president, why not herschel walker? so this is mitch mcconnell's doing. he is the one that picked these candidates really. he could have -- trump said we'll take these. mcconnell could have stopped it or tried to stop it. he just went along. and that is what happens. why is he running? he is running because he'll give them power. >> hold on. let me say, though, i don't want to leave it. this story is obviously very colorful. and it's there is room to make fun. but he also made had interview tonight. i want you to respond at the other end of it. the he was talking what he was joking about in part. he was questioned about all the discussions and all t women that he has come out to and talked about the notion of whether he was an absentee fat

he was actually here to see tom cotton, told me he thought that cotton might run for president some dayhat man was the outlier and a lot of conservatives in georgia support walker. >> republican senate leader james mitch mcconnell says he believes the battle for the majority of the senate is a true cliffhanger right now. does it surprise you he is not projecting more confidence at this late stage of the election season? >> no, he is looking at the map lake we are. he is looking at candidates, some who are much more flawed than republicans would have liked, much more dicey on the campaign trail, herschel walker being one of them. so he knows this is going to come down to a couple of seats. listen, we might not actually know because that georgia race could go to a runoff. we might not know for months and months and months what the outcome will be. >> also, one question that mitch mcconnell did not answer was the question that manu asked him about his wife and the racist name that donald trump called her. it was very interesting to me because i thought, first i thought, that's kind of inte

tom cotton wondering, where is he going with this story and why? >> yeah. i'm guessing that those senators and staffers were hoping that herschel walker would come up with a different story other than the horny bull impregnating multiple cows tale. if the republicans had any sense of shame whatsoever, they would be ashamed of the way that this is playing out. i mean, it's the accumulation of scandals and hypocrisy involving herschel walker, not just the abortion but the growing evidence of the multiple children that he essentially abandoned. the text messages showing he had little contact at all with some of his children. the political reality is the republicans are stuck with him. they need him to win in order to take control of the senate. frankly, they just don't care. they are going to continue to back him no matter what he did, no matter what he says, no matter how manifestly unfit he is for office because it's all about control. >> what more can we say? ellison barber, i think charlie sykes, you said it all. thanks to both of you. >>> president biden

. >> senators tom cotton and rick scott campaigned for herschel walker. following the event, senator scott spoke to reporters about recent allegations against herschel walker and the party's decision to continue backing his campaign. herschel walker will be a leader in the senate just like he has been a leader in sports and in business for the state of georgia. unlike your current u.s. senator, raphael warnock. georgia took a chance on raphael warnock a few years ago. a trial run. for two years, he has been nothing but a rubberstamp for joe biden. . look at what that has gotten us. 13% since raphael warnock started rubberstamping joe biden's agenda. it did not just happen, raphael warnock has been trillions of dollars we don't have. they have been training everybody for two years. they have been making working families across georgia pay the bills at the end of the month. i would accuse them of spending money like drunken sailors but it would be an insult to drunken sailors. look at what raphael warnock does. that is why gasoline costs four dollars a gall

with rick scott and tom cotton stumping for him here in georgia. what their message is going to be today is really to send this message of it's okay to back this guy. we know he's not perfect. but he is the best and quite literally the only option that republicans have right now in this race that could easily come down to quite possibly control of what is now a 50/50 senate. they are trying to show at least publicly that they don't care about this whole abortion controversy. they don't think republican voters should either. a source close to walker's campaign tells nbc that more republican lawmakers tell them they are eager to stump for walker on the campaign trail. that's something we're closely monitoring, whether this event with scott and cotton opens the door for more of them to come down to georgia to stump for walker in this critical race that is still considered a tossup four weeks to election day. >> and ohio senate candidates ryan and vance held their first debate last night. what are the key take aways from that event? >> reporter: i thin

i'm not sure how much rick scott and tom cotton are going to be helpful or hurtful.many people know them in georgia. but listen, they're trying to shore up the republican base. make sure people vote. so, yep, they're in. they're all in. >> all right. one of the best. we'll look for the new reporting in punch bowl in a matter of minutes. thank you, my friend. >>> still ahead, new calls. the united states to freeze cooperation with saudi arabia after opec's decision to slash oil production. the question this morning, can anything be done to slow this latest rise in p gas prices? that and the other stories driving your business day are next. stories driving your business day are next [coughing] hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love, plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. announcer: type 2 diabetes? discover the power of 3 in the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv

tom cotton is an uber conservative person, talks a lot about his christian faith. that's someone, if he were to come down and talk about herschel walker being a good person, the right person for georgia, someone they need to add to the senate, will be perceived as i'm endorsing them. if herschel is okay with me, he should be okay with you. just to break it down for the viewers, to understand the reason why. with that said, doc, i think they're recognizing they're potentially isolating a lot of independent women, suburbanites. even mitch mcconnell acknowledged that republicans want to win those voters back. and it's also why he said i don't like some of the republican candidates that have been selected because i think we may not win back the majority in the senate because of some of those types of candidates. looking at that to me, in terms of the campaign, holy smoke, this revelation is damaging, this could cost us the election and we need people to come down and sanction and say, hey, he's still okay with conservative republicans. if i can add really quickly, doc,

these are consequences for tom cotton and rick scott.-- >> you just don't know what's going to happen. >> okay, no, at this point, we do. >> he tells a story about a bull, who impregnated and then wanted to abandon multiple cows wild -- while lusting after three more. this is what herschel said. >> georgia values. >> this is what -- >> rick scott talking about georgia values and rick scott thinking right there, lord, deliver me from this speech. >> actually -- >> tom cotton saying the same. willie geist, i mean, herschel walker said, you know you got something going on. and that's exactly what the two senators there are thinking, he's got something going on. he ain't right. he tells a story in the middle of this, in the middle of this political crisis about a bull that impregnates three cows and then wants to abandon them, to go impregnate three other cows over a barbed wire fence. come on, what do we do? heilemann would say, this is confession. of course it's confession. but why bring it up? >> so here's what happened beforehand. they g

we learned that and our sec chairman, senator rick scott, as well as senator tom cotton, will be on thelker. and in a statement nbc news, senator scott says in part, quote, i'm on herschel's team. they picked the wrong georgian to mess with, i'm proud to stand with herschel walker. that is because these republicans know exactly how critical this georgia senate race is to win it back control of the senate. because we know this is a 50/50, evenly divided senate. the stakes are very, very high in this race. this race is quickly becoming a party priority for republicans. a source familiar tells me that and irs staffers will actually be here on the ground in georgia, leading up to election day. and actually ad spending that was going to be used in a new hampshire senate races now being reallocated to here in georgia. but i have to tell you, erin, i've spoken with a lot of voters here on the ground. republicans and democrats tell me they are really unfazed by all of these allegations. take a listen. >> i'm not really sure if it means anything to voters. i feel, like in georgia, a lot of peopl

you have rick scott, you have tom cotton there. how are voters receiving those two high profile republicans? >> yeah, katy, you have rick scott as you mentioned. tom cotton arriving in the next couple of seconds. you may see this bus roll up so apologies in advance if you won't be able to hear me. but this is really becoming a question of whether these gop heavy weights, whether their input and support will make a difference here. according to some of the republicans i've spoken with over the last hour or so, they made up their minds months ago. having these two here today is not moving the needle for them. they think that because this has made national news, having national republicans here can sort of clear the smoke out of the room and get this story out of the way for republicans to more focus on issues they say matter more. like the economy. high gas prices. inflation. but the point of these two republicans coming here today is really to make it known that throwing their support behind herschel walker means that other republic
