how will president obama talk about this today. >> steve: president obama pulls ahead in polls and winning swing states . but there is a powerful group of americans that are leaning to romney and they could turn the difference. >> brian: how do you turn grown businessmen like brawling children. put them in the middle of rush hour and a cab. it could have been the cash cab. fox and friends starts right now. "fox and friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ "fox and friends". >> gretchen: it is about time member captured that on videotape. go outside to 6th avenue on rush hour is see that happen daily. >> brian: i know someone who said the un building is located and turns out the world has come and you can't get a cab or walk the streets. if you go by war wick. ahmadinejad you put up tent poles and it is it like a war zone. >> steve: usually takes me five minutes to go here to exit new jersey yesterday it was 45 minutes and it was not even today when the united states is speaking to the general assembly and things are going to move. >> brian: and the curtain initiative. >> gretchen: we should have stayed home. darn we are here. top level meeting between u.s. and egypt since anti-american protestors stormed our embassy. secretary of state meeting with president morsi. morsi assured clinon that protecting the embassy was the duty. nato troops spoiling the insider attack. special ops team arresting

old mom and her fiance. >> two grown men in suit. duking it out on a cab in new york city. >> and finally one man prevailed and not because the loser gives a smack on the hid. >> steve: keep the tip. everyone will know who they are. >> steve: i believe that is park avenue. one of the swankiest neighbors. >> brian: they get angry, too. >> steve: just a couple of blocks past park avenue from where we are sitting is united nations and later in the general assembly the president will go down and deliver a speech. 10:00 a.m.. we have excerpts and he will say there are no words of excusing the killing of innocents and the attacks on the embassy. >> gretchen: ahmadinejad creating havoc in new york city. have you heard of a guy who can hymn here and go to the hotel and go to the un and speech gobbily goop and offensive to most people? so instead of announcing he flashed the peace sign and saying he want to wipe israel off of the map it is now eliminated. it is the same thing. >> brian: this is mitt romney. remember 60 minutes and they sat down half an hour one with scott pel yemitt cross. mitt romney noticed that the president of the united states when he talked about the uprisings in the middle east and killing in libya called it bumps in the road. the governor of massachusetts was aggressive. >> he said the developments in the middle east are bumps in the road. yeah, that was my reaction. we had an bass-- ambassor assassinated and 20,000 people killed in syria. and trouble in pakistan and iran is that much closer to have a capacity to build a nuclear weapon. these are not butches in the road but human lives. >> steve: hold the phone, the white house said mr. romney misinterperted what the president intended. he referred to israel as one of our closest alley? come on. eric cantor, the house majority said for israel is on parwith other alies in the region is very concerning. >> gretchen: why is the president of the united states not meeting with world leaders. they're right here in new york . it is convenient and frankly what presidents do. many people say he doesn't want to create any bumps. you know any kind of conversation that might take them off track 42 days from the election. instead of meeting with the egyptian leader president morsi, he sends secretary of state hillary clinton to meet with him ahead and cancelled the so-called meeting. >> brian: i don't understand. i would think that the advantage is president of the united states. and go behind closed doors. he met with 13 leaderships last year. you get a general tone and go to the next room. you can look like he is in charge. he could go to a meet issue statements that he laid it on the line and he told people of tunisia and government of sudan and president of egypt this, this, this. i think that is more effective than any 30 second ad. >> gretchen: you can't trust the other leaders and that would create a news story and some sort of a story line he doesn't want right now. >> brian: yeah, henry indicated that, too. i don't think there is a mistake in showing leadership. we are used to other countries not arguing. >> steve: i see the other network newscast. last year he met with 13 world leaders and this year none because he is running for president and more concerned with the reelection than foreign policy. we told you yesterday he visited the ladies of the vieww . what did he say yesterday when visiting the ladies of the view. he said he was just the eye candy. >> brian: big news happy birthday barbara walters. >> steve: she's only 83? >> gretchen: i hope it gets interesting play. it was startling to me based on what you hear when you watch the cand dates on the campaign trail. talking about romney and obama. could mitt romney get more middle class families. 55 percent to 41 percent. why am i surprised at this? it was the campaign rhetoric from president obama that he is the guy for the middle class. it is romney who is rich and doesn't understand you and can't relate to makes it seem like you shouldn't vote for him? it is startling, by 14 points mitt romney has them. >> steve: middle class is worried about the bred and butter and pocket issues and look at behind the issues in the battle ground university poll where mitt romney is with middle class families, leading by 14 percent. only a third of them said we are heading in the right direction. >> brian: yeah, the president on the couch on the view and that couch is not as clean as ours. >> gretchen: i think it might be cleaner. >> brian: i think any couch is cleaner. on the view on the couch. he said i have a different view from mitt romney. i will build it from middle out. i don't know if that is economically what about the polls that has the president winning in small margin. dick morris answered that question. >> people need to understand that the polling is the worst it has ever been. this is the first election if i tell you who is going to vote, i can tell you how they are going to vote. black or latino or college kid or single mother, i will tell you how you can vote and over 65 or a man or married white womi am be right two out of three times. this is the issue who is going to vote. polling is good at saying how. but bad at saying who will vote. and the models they are using are crazy. they assume a democratic edge of 6-sevenpoints >> chris: that's the key. if they are using the metric where there are six or sevenmore percent they tend to win the poles. they are taking rasmussen metric and they and pew were closest to being right. and they analyzed the data and according to these folks, mitt romney has 5-11 percent in all of the other polls. ing interesting. >> gretchen: if you are conducting polls why not split it 50-50. why would you skew it. >> steve: rasmussen figured out in the latest poll. 30.67 percent of the country considers them republican. you start with that number and put the democrats and add the appropriate margin of independents that is. >> brian: 100 percent of the american people don't want to be polled. >> gretchen: maybewe should do this instead of polls. halloween mask. president obama out pacing mitt romney. here is a sports one. >> brian: if the redskins win. and they beat the panthers. president obama will win and that should be a good game. >> steve: you know what, if you use the 7-11 metric which you go into the store and you get a red cup for the republican and blue cup for the democrat, as you can see right there president obama slightly mr. romney. >> brian: and if we could get ahold of one themselves. there is the rigt cup and blue cup. who actually wins. >> gretchen: how is this for the parent's nightmare. a little boy given meth instead of his regular medicine. >> brian: i hear about from the president how the rich could pay down the debt. wait until you hear what stewart varney says. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> steve: president obama has been out on the campaign claims higher taxes from the rich will help pay down the national debt. >> we have to ask the wealthiest households to pay more. we need to ask folks like you and me to do more. folks who afford it like me can pay more. i can afford to pay more and mitt romney can afford to pay more. >> brian: will that get our fiscal house back in order. stewart varney are here. if the rich pay more will that help. >> no. not much at all. let me spell it out. if you follow lieu the president's plan to tax the so-call would wealthy and get rid of the bush tax cuts for the wealthy people. you bringg in 87 billion dollars. with a deficit of a trillion plus, you still have a 900 billion dollarr deficit and if you have a trillion dollar deficit. it brings in 8divide million from the rich and you still have 913 billion of red ink . and you can crazy and trash the millionaires and take every red cent they earn . every millionaire will have the entire income confiscated. you trash the institution and confiscate the red cent and you bring in 839 billion. >> steve: you are way short. >> brian: we are short a trillion every year. >> you don't have a taxing problem. this is a spending problem. it is solved by reducing spend reforming entitlements over the long term. taxing the rich will make barely any difference . it is a political slogan. >> steve: right now the president wants to get reelected so he has the key to air force one. >> he thinks that if you tax the rich that brings in votes. >> steve: we are talking about increasing the taxes on the rich. what people forget about. taxes for everyone are scheduled to go up next year. >> yes, they will. >> steve: everybody is going to get whacked. >> if you made a list of all of the taxes that go up on january 1st because of obama care and tax changes. that list would fill three screens and everybody is going to be paying more. everybody. >> steve: it is interesting. >> brian: we want you to look at what the president said over the weekend. the deficit is not his fault. it was prescription drug plan and two wars put on the credit card. >> steve: did you give him an assignment. >> it is an easy assignment mr. kilmeade. i will do it. >> steve: straight ahead.

dollars. gretch? >> gretchen: here is a shocking state. 98,000 people die each year in this country because of doctor's mistakes. surgeons are often operating on the wrong body part 40 times a week. how can you prevent that? >> i think it is time for public and people to know what is going on and also choose the right doctor. over the years, doctors and surgeons have gone without having a real score card and like a gag order and they are really scared because attorneys get involved. and minute they turn someone sends a letter to their office and scares them. there is a gap between the doctors and parents and going back to transparency and trusting your doctor is great. there are hibits to help that. >> gretchen: on line dash board. but what does it mean in this case? >> it means every president in the u.s. puts in information about the hospital. how many cases do they v. and cases in the operating room for public to see. and procedures, how many doctors are doing what type of procedures and patient satisfaction they have. if you want to go for gall bladder or knee surge yee go through and pick the place for yourself . the ones with not good outcome have to push hard yer go back. >> gretchen: next one i will combine because of safety scores and open notes transparency. what is that. >> with all of the electronic medical records, patients can look at the notes and make their own ponentments . they'll know what is going on . that is access to the record. team work and score one. there is something in the hospital called time out. the nurse will call for a time-out. operating for a right side and surgeon and nurses all have to sign off and that reduced the number of complications. but numbers that you mention that is not acceptable. >> gretchen: final one is cameras. when they set up cameras and the people knew doing colon oscopeys they improve pent more time doing the procedures. >> two types of cam ras. one for a colon oscopey and put it on the dvd and give it to the patients. the other one is cameras all over the hospitals. and patients expose who is looking at the film and it is safety issues there. and for the most part up to the hospitals and doctors to do the best you can for the patients . they have to be all wary of this and they can go on on line. and it is a great thing of good doctors. >> all comes down to quality. mistake at the
