and that is everyone that is here today. we are going to be talking with them all morning. you will hear their personal stories people that have been shot themselves. they are recovering. what can they do to get better. we also have elected officials. we will talk to them about policy and what we can do better to make our country a safer place. as i told you, we are here in philly as an example but this is happening all across the country. >> ainsley: one of the most competitive senate issues. dr. oz vs. fetterman. people in big cities are worried about. >> brian: thanks, lawrence. we will check in with you constantly the next three hours. as a side note, mayor adams talked about we are overplaying crime in new york city. it's not really that big. like when you look at crime going up 39% in the subways alone we are overplaying it. brian. >> ainsley: cover of "new york post." fantasy land mayor adams riding in on a unicorn doves heart and care bare bear. city unsafe? it's just media and false perception the mayor said. >> brian: we have a different perception to say the least. >> will: ainsley, you brought up fetterman in pennsylvania. joe biden made what has amend amounted to a rare campaign appearance with fetterman. >> ainsley: nobody is asking him. will very few candidates have asked joe biden to stand up and campaign with them. john fetterman did. double predictable incoherence joe biden and john fetterman together. hhe has brought up. why aren't you out there with more candidate and this is what joe biden have had to say. >> there haven't been that many candidates campaign with you. >> that's not true there have been 15. count kid, count. >> tim ryan in ohio says he doesn't want you there. warnock wouldn't say. do you think they are making a mistake. >> no. there have been 16 i have already gone in for and a lot more have asked another 20 or so. >> sir, do you have any go to nevada or georgia in the coming weeks are you going to go next week. >> i don't know where i'm going. i have got about 16 or 18 requests around the country. i don't know who is going where. >> ainsley: called the reporter a kid. did you hear that? i have 15, kid. where are these 15? who are these 15 candidates. if that is true, go through the list. >> brian: couple things about the president of the united states. don't be defensive, you are president. just say the political window goes. i want my poonel to be successful. my party to be successful. every state is different. if they need me, they know i'm did there for them. whatever they need. you are the president of the united states. everybody knows it. fdr got she lacked one year. barack obama who is wanted now on the campaign trail. do you know who was wanted more? bill clinton. bill clinton was a rock star. >> ainsley: how about obama? now they're looking for obama to come to pennsylvania and wisconsin and georgia. >> brian: insulted at this point in the career shouldn't he say to yourself my focus, i couldn't even spin this. my focus is keeping the senate and the house. has he all you need to do. raising money. give advice. do an appearance. it's whatever they need. >> will: to be honest it's not notable that so many candidates don't want to appear with joe biden. it's notable that a few do. it's notable that fetterman would choose to have biden next to him because you are talking about an economy that's already in bad shape and on the precipice of being much worse. foreign policy that's not going well. joe biden's own personal ability to communicate is so compromised i don't know who would choose to stand next to joe biden then you add on top of that, if he can get that message across, it's not a message the voters are interested in hearing. look at this poll on the issues that joe biden and the democratic party are giving attention. 31% say he is not giving enough attention to the top issues. that would be, by the way, the economy and inflation. 63% wish he would give more attention to those issues. >> ainsley: look at those numbers. >> brian: and border and crime. >> ainsley: remember a few weeks ago we talked about that abc-"the washington post" poll. 33% approve. 53 disapprove. we are shocked that a candidate would actually want the president our current president to come on the campaign trail with him. that is so wrong, so bad that he is doing such a poor job we are shocked when a candidate asks him to come to the podium and talk to people. >> brian: i do think things go like that in cycles. george w. bush had 70% approval rating. at the same time beats john kerry. went to ohio. got it. by the time he was done with the collapse of the economy. john mccain said not now. when bill clinton was done with his eight years. al gore said don't join me on the campaign trail. i have got to do it myself. people want to turn the page with you. the reaction he has is surprising. what i think is notable is what is happening. two separate polls, warnock and walker. fetterman who had 12 to 14 point lead and inside advantage poll. >> ainsley: 46 to 46. >> brian: when you have his wife prevent him from answering a question at his own rally and he sits there like he is catatonic not being able -- not even to go to bat for himself. >> ainsley: supposed to have this debate october 28th in harrisburg. >> brian: i guess they are going to do it. >> ainsley: going to be interesting if he will have a computer. >> will: rick scott is predicting wins at least 52 seats for republicans and, perhaps, a much more dominant. >> ainsley: do you think they are the secret voters the ones that don't want to say -- just-like we had when trump ran? >> will: predicting elections has been a fool's's errand. >> brian: when they say things are too close to call whatever party is up goes 8 to 91. 9 straight close wins but on the same party line. instance a ains here is the thing though. you can think a candidate. you might like some things about them think they are nice. you have to look 59d anywhere record when you go to the polls. look at fetterman's record so starkly different than dr. oz's. that state is completely divided if these polls are true. 46, 46. he. taxpayers to pay drug injection sites. no restrictions on abortion. as for governor he advocated for by a third. and liberal d.a. there. larry krasner, he endorsed him when he was running put out a tweet i really like him. i endorse him and hailing this what is it called conviction integrity unit. now it's just been reported they are looking for a guy who served 8 years in prison and larry krasner exonerated him. he served of the eight years for killing someone. enough to he is out of prison and it they are looking for him in connection with shooting a guy in the back of the head who died. he is out on the streets again. >> brian: that's the story in almost every major city. meanwhile, 13 minutes after the hour. >> will: coming up city of chaos. one city calling out san francisco's rising crime. why he says cities are terrified and he is moving his business. >> brian: terminated for tough grading?

if we create this culture and we have an entire generation who actually runs the workforce, runs our corporations and runs the country by this type of mindset. the limit will be that of the united states of america. we will get our lunch eaten by china or some other country that actually embraces failure or pushes hard towards success. >> ainsley: think about organic students. they are probably applying to medical school. do you want a doctor who can't get through college the core courses who can't get through that organic chemicals class. sometimes you can finagle if you sign up first junior and senior year. >> brian: you can't fake that. >> ainsley: you can't fake organic it's just a hard class. >> brian: i have a lot more to say to will but we don't have time. >> ainsley: save it. we will probably talk about that later. it's a good tease. >> brian: only one i have. >> will: cdc votes to add cody shots to all children's immunization schedules. governor desantis isn't having it. his promise to parents coming up. >> ainsley: new report elon musk plans to cut the workforce by a whopping 75%. stuart varney reacts to that. ♪ ♪ ♪ it's money that matters ♪ whatever you do ♪ if advanced lung cancer has you searching for possibilities, discover a different first treatment. immunotherapies work with your immune system to attack cancer. but opdivo plus yervoy is the first combination of 2 immunotherapies for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. opdivo plus yervoy is not chemotherapy, it works differently. it helps your immune system fight cancer in 2 different ways. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain; severe nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; eye problems; extreme tiredness; changes in appetite, thirst or urine; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; or fever. these are not all the possible side effects. problems can occur together and more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. tell your doctor about all medical conditions including immune or nervous system problems, if you've had or plan to have an organ or stem cell transplant, or received chest radiation. your search for 2 immunotherapies starts here. ask your doctor about opdivo plus yervoy. a chance to live longer. buying a car from vroom is so easy, all you need is a phone and a finger. just go to vroom.com, scroll through thousands of cars. then, tap to buy. that's it. no sales speak, no wasted time. go to vroom.com and pick your favorite. - hiring is step one when it comes to our growth. we can't open a new shop or a new location without the right people in place. i couldn't keep up until i found ziprecruiter. ziprecruiter helps us get out there quickly and get us qualified candidates quickly. they sent us applicants that matched what i was looking for. i've hired for every role, entry-level technicians, service advisors, store managers. ziprecruiter helps me find all the right people, even the most difficult jobs to fill. - [announcer] ziprecruiter, rated the number one hiring site. try it for free at ziprecruiter.com >> as billionaire elon musk eyes new takeover new documents detail his plans to gut the social media's workforce. musk reportedly telling perspective investors he would get rid of nearly 75% of twitter's 7500 workers. whittling the company down to a skeleton staff of just over 2,000. here to react stuart varney host of varney and company and american built on fox business. i'm sure they are nervous at twitter when they hear this news. >> stuart: terrified. >> ainsley: do you think it will work?

good morning, family. thank you so much. i want to turn to our panel. thank you all for being here with me today and tell the story. it takes a lot of bravery in this time. aleta, i want to go to you, first. tell me about the pen that you wear on your chest. that's your son? >> yeah. this is the picture of my son. his name is alex rosas garcia. murdered on january 24th of 2015. >> lawrence: what happened? >> my son was coming out of a club and there was an argument -- well, someone tried to argue with him about him speaking to a girl. he tried to walk away from the situation. he apologized to the guy said i'm sorry, you know. walked away from the situation. got in his car. the guy who had a long history of incarcerations and criminal activity. he went to his car and got his gun and shot my son 15 times. >> lawrence: who do you hold responsible for repeat offender being back on the street to victimize and kill your son? >> the first person i hold responsible is the person who killed my son. he has a responsibility. his family has a responsibility that they cannot meet. concerned about the fact that he been incarcerated multiple times and he had just left prison done that he was the head of a multi-state gang him and his brother. the whole family was involved in drugs over several states. the year after my son was murdered that particular gang came down and in the newspaper of all the leaders of that gang. and they were able to shut them down in camden at least, they continue to survive in puerto rico, massachusetts i suppose still in camden and parts of pennsylvania. >> lawrence: they never turned their life around. they just revictimized? >> yes. >> lawrence: raz lynn, i want to go to you because you lost your brother and boyfriend to the violence happening on the street. tell me about them. for. >> so in '93 i survived an attempted homicide by the same person who took the life of my boyfriend tyber jackson. this particular person who took my boyfriend's life was a gunshot victim himself who just suffered from the trauma and the unaddressed trauma continued to continue to be unaddressed and he too became a shooter. then in 2012 i lost my brother alexander martinez to a murder here in philadelphia. the case is currently unsolved. and in 2,000 lost my identical twin sister to self-inflicted gunshot wound when the state allowed her access to a firearm although she suffered from mental health issues. >> lawrence: you have been victimized time and time again. and you have dedicated your life to help clean up these streets, why? >> i think, i mean, after a while you can mourn but so much. i think when you sit and wallow in this pain for a little bit. actions, something a fire lights within someone in wanting to change. so, i think just supporting family like alletta garcia, eps, kathy, all mothers who lost their loved one to gun violence being a support system for many of those families. >> lawrence: brenda, i want to go to you you are a woman who started a women's group for firearms to teach them firearms and what led you to build this organization and this safe space almost for women? >> sure, this is actually terry's organization. i'm one of the students. so, i sought him out a little over two years ago because of all the riots and looting and stuff like that that was going on. also, just the rise in crime. did i not feel safe. i had a firearm at home. i did not know how to utilize it. and so i thought it was important to be a responsible gun owner to learn how to use that appropriately and so that way i am not a harm to others and i can protect myself and my family. >> lawrence: thank you so much. martina, you're a g.o.p. rep. what are elected officials doing to solve this problem and i don't want to just put the onus on you. because this is happening all across the country and yet, you hear story after story and victims feel like our elected leaders aren't doing anything to solve the problem. what can you tell them? >> you know, i would just say that crime and safety of our public is a top priority for legislators in harrisburg and i'm sure in legislatures all across the country. in major cities like philadelphia, what we are seeing is unfortunately gun crimes are not being prosecuted. illegal firearm possessions and other types of crime that are committed with illegal firearms are not being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. and so what we are seeing is more people who are committing those criminal acts. reoffending, and winding up back on our streets. >> so, my focus has really been on ensuring that the laws that the legislature has put into effect are being properly enforced before we continue to go down the road of passing more legislation. that doesn't actually get
