...use your old tailgate to play host. gmc sierra the world's first six-fuction multipro™ tailgate from gmc eric: pressure to biden administration, cargo ships still stuck sitting outside congested ports. the companies deal with trucking and warehouse problems while the administration says import at a record and time of the essence. you know what's coming, the backlogs threatens the holiday season. we have to be careful about. hello, everyone, welcome to fox news live. i'm eric sean. hi, arthel. arthel: hello, everyone, i'm arthel neville. the white house is scrambling to

overt economic meltdown as american consumers are facing triple threat, rising inflation and skyrocketing gas prices. republican congressman john says families are feeling the pinch. >> we have inconveniences at the stores, we have higher prices, that's really a huge economic problem for the average person in this country, but this pandemic, we are not learning our lessons and we have supply issues than going beyond making sure we have christmas presents for the holiday season. eric: the administration is trying to deal with that and more. with that, david spunt. david: he left capitol hill where he spoke honored fallen law enforcement who died in the line of duty and he promised to increase funding for police

departments not decrease funding. listen to this. >> hard time to be a police officer in america. i want to make sure you have the roles to be partners and protectors that the communities need. when you look at what your communities need, there are going to be more resources, not fewer. >> you see that hashtag right there bare shelves biden. the president dealing with this right now and may go well into the new year. basically cargo ships continue, eric and arthel to sit in ocean parking lot off the coast of california as millions of goods are in limbo. new numbers from the labor department show import prices rose last month after falling in august. transportation secretary pete buttigieg, he's facing tough questions just about being at home with his two children and his husband for some pray ternty leave that he took.

the white house and pete buttigieg are defending the mover and he's still working and he's been in touch on major policy decisions. >> we are seeing record goods coming through our ports, the demand is there which is great and represents a policy success and now we have to make sure the supply chains are there to support. >> and eric, it's interesting because in the early days of covid in 2020 then candidate joe biden gave an interview to yahoo where he blamed the food shortage that we were having at the time on president trump and president trump saying it's time for leadership and now this president biden is facing a similar crisis, eric. eric: you neglect, david, many people are looking at the supply chain and seeing it as a global problem specifically what else is the administration trying to do to solve this? >> david dave well, the administration is in touch with global partners, with other countries. the president himself has not said to be honest a lot about this issue over the past few days. he was in connecticut yesterday talking about his social

spending bill. he spoke as i said about the fallen law enforcement officers and both important topics, however, as far as this specific supply chain problem, he said he believes things will work out and spoke briefly about it in the south lawn yesterday after getting back from connecticut but it was secretary pete buttigieg that he thinks we have not only a shortage in cargo ships but also trucker, trucker shortage and he believes paying truckers more, getting more workers, getting better paychecks for the truckers will help those truckers come back on board. it's all really just a trickle down effect. eric: the teamsters of the union are trying to get more trucks out. they are going 24/7 in some of the ports. they still have the cargo ships. we will be talking with representative michelle steel of california later in our 4:00 p.m. eastern time hour about that. i mean, it's a parking lot out there. like there's a bottleneck and is

there a sense that the bottleneck can be addressed and can be opened up in time for the holidays? david: well, the white house, that's the question that many are asking and many have said, listen, conveniences of having gifts and having presents for the holiday season and looking at paychecks of other people and how you weigh those two things, the chief of staff here ron klein was criticized for retweeting obama-era adviser as high-class issues and the chief of staff here was criticized for retweeting that. jen psaki, white house press secretary said, listen, we are not going to weigh in on his tweeting or we can't monitor the tweeting and that's not a priority for us. in that sense, it shows where the top dog other than the president of the united states, what he's thinking about it. eric: wait till they run out of toilet paper back there. thanks so much. arthel. arthel: as the 40th annual

national peace officers memorial service was held in washington, another tragic reminder of the sacrifice of our law enforcement. in houston, police are calling it an ambition. a deputy constable killed and two others wounded. they. >> ambushed outside of a bar, person of interest was taken into custody but not clear if that person is a witness or a suspect. let's go to laura ingle. she has more on this right now. laura. reporter: hi, arthel. well, you know, police in houston are still trying to piece together exactly what happened in the early morning hours where the 3 deputies were working extra shifts as security in the bar. it was in a strip mall and as you mentioned hit and caught up in this ambition. it all happened just after 2:00 a.m. local time in houston as 3 harris county constable deputies were working security and now according to local reports two deputies were dealing with some kind of an incident outside of the bar first and then the third deputy came out to assist where he

heard gunshots, all three were hit and one did not survive. >> they went outside to address a disturbance, turns out it may have been a robbery and they were probably unknown to them at the time. they were trying to -- to arrest a suspect or detain a suspect and they were ambushed and it's a tragedy in that, you know, i have a dad there that i had to stop through. i've got a wife there and they got a deceased son and husband. i have two other deputies that are, you know, in surgery. >> police say it's unclear if the deputies were able to return fire or not and say while they do have one person of interest in custody was near the scene, they are not sure if it's witness or suspect and investigators looking for another suspect, hispanic male and n early 20's. all of this unfolding just hours ahead of the 40th annual national peace officers'

memorial service taking place in washington, d.c. to honor law enforcement officers who lost their life in the line of duty. president biden speaking last hour. >> and the families of the fallen, you've suffered enormous loss but understand your loss is also america's loss. america's loss and you're paying as america is paying. reporter: one law enforcement officer calling this as evil and bring justice. arthel: it is evil. trump-era immigration policy will soon be back in effect across the southern border where law enforcement agents are facing violent threats from cartels and gangs. the latest on that coming up.

agents in texas tell us they are seeing more and more heavily armed groups on the mexican side of the border. rich edison, he's live on the border in pinetas, texas with more. hi, rich. rich: texas department of homeland safety are saying shootings from mexico saying, quote, thursday october 14th just before noon two shots were fired across the border from mexico into star county believed to be aimed at texas national guard personnel. there were no injuries and the texas rangers are investigating this incident. also the biden administration complying with a court order will reinstate the trump-era remain in mexico policy. it requires migrants claiming asylum to wait out their cases in camps in mexico. the white house canceled the program calling the conditions in the camps inhumane. though federal court said the biden administration went about it the wrong way, so the

department of homeland security likely by mid-november will reluctantly revive the policy officially known as migrant protection protocols or mpp. department of homeland security in a statement says, quote, we are working to do so despite our appeal of the court's order, dhs will also be issuing a memorandum terminating mmp and republicans have been pushing the administration to reinstate it. >> yeah, no, myself and many of my republican colleagues have been pushing to reinstate the trump-policies that work, the remain in mexico policy works. it's encouraging to see the administration start to go down that route. we have to hold them accountable and i'm not stopping until i see that policy get reinstated. rich: just down the road from here a group of about 100 migrants crossed near last night where border patrol processes them, usually if they're traveling as families or paroled

into the united states with request to appear in immigration court or register at local immigration office and the tempo has slowed after incredibly busy super. we are still wait to go get the official numbers from september. september is the end of the 2021 fiscal year. if those numbers are elevated, you could see the largest recorded fiscal year in history for southwest border apprehensions. arthel, back to you. arthel: rich edison live in the border, thank you, rich. eric: arthel, down in florida developments in the search for brian luandrie, yellow police tape is up at the entrance of the massive florida nature reserve that's been the focus of the nearly 1-month long search for gabby patito's fugitive fiance. >> we got report of the yellow tape that was put near the

carlton reserve. they tell us it was put there to, quote, keep people out, nothing more. that said the search for brian laundrie continues nearly the carlton reserve assisted by cadaver dogs, the 23-year-old who has been wanted and only person of interest in the death investigation of girlfriend gabby patito on fox news got word with governor ron desantis in which the governor expressions frustration on how long it's taken to track brian down. >> you know, my view would be it's a little disappointing that we still don't have the guy's whereabouts somebody that would be a suspect when something like this happens. i hope he's apprehended and brought to justice. >> charles: and that's the sentiment and we hear from protestors who continue to gather and leave messages in front of a laundrie home on a daily basis. what if it was cassie, that sign in particular got the attention

of chris laundrie who came out and removed the message mentioning daughter from the lawn this morning. meantime the patito family is expected to return from wyoming this weekend with the remains of gabby. on thursday the family visited the site in national forest where the 20-year-old's remains were found last month. they left behind a few momentos including a yellow sun flower and white bag with messages written inside. we also learned that the patito family spoke to investigators in wyoming about the status of the investigation and how far investigators have gotten but so far they have not been able to talk about that public, eric. eric: just heartbreaking, charles, thank you. arthel. arthel: yeah, it is, all right, eric, circle back to the country's economic crisis as the recovery from the pandemic chugs along, the growing list of issues putting president biden's leadership to the test and new taking a political tow. in fact, the real clear politics

average of polls shows the president's approval ratings dropping nearly 5 points since august with the majority now disapproving of his job performance. fox news contributor john bussey, associate editor of the wall street journal and also joining us now. john, how much does this fall at president biden's feet and what is he doing wrong and how can he directly ease the supply chain pain and inflation? john: it falls at his feet because it's his disapproval rating. how much of this was the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan, how much of it is the continued gridlock in washington over legislation, how much the economy we don't know quite yet. i think that the economic data is mixed. the economy is still growing. you have inflation as a result of the virus shutting down factories around the world and supply chains getting disrupted and the economy is kind of coming back suddenly and big

demand for goods and those goods are in short supply. so we are still seeing that work through. arthel: so then how much of it is by-product or residual effect of the global pandemic? >> well, it's a major part of the equation, arthel. that's what kind -- that's what caused economies to shut down and then allow them to restart in parts of the world the virus came under control, but other parts of the world that were making the products they were still shut down. so you are going to have this kind of problem probably into 2022, some of the expectations, but look on the positive side of this, if you're looking for a job right now, you have a pretty good opportunity to find one of your liking because there are lots of openings and low unemployment rate so what's that message for the voter? it's going to be a mixed one. economies are expanding not quite as fast as we expected it to just a couple of months ago but it's expanding.

you have to deal with inflation. for biden also, arthel, getting the bills through is a plus and a minus. the plus is they'll have more to show for his record. the minus is more spending and more spending will put more pressure on the economy and on the demand and that might keep inflation high. >> meanwhile, though, you have the infighting and indecision inside the democratic party. they are not very strong on messaging either. they can't make up their minds on certain things that still need to get done, very important legislation and then they can't even really, you know, flaunt what they've already done. they need to get better on their messaging. >> yeah, one of the biggest problems that biden has is the problem at home within his own party. the fact that resolution hasn't been found for the very large social spending bill. it looks like part of that bill is going to be abandoned probably the energy portion of it and there's going to be some

accommodation made but they are going to have to get message pretty soon. the midterms are around the corner. they are next year but the campaigns are going to start pretty soon. there's an important governor's race happening in early november in virginia. we will see some of the sentiment, voter sentiment toward democrats reflected in that currently very close election campaign. you're right, they have to get the miami pretty soon. arthel: yeah, meanwhile, you have the republicans, they, you know, they can be very inflexible as you know and they can reject most things biden. i'd imagine that contributes to the democrats' problem but does it help the republicans because as you said people are watching, people are paying attention on who is getting what done on their behalf? john: well, the republicans are counting on the democrats not being able to get things done and then running on that basis. i'm not sure how that's going to go over with voters. there's a lot of hangover from the last republican administration, you know, arguably the debt problem, the

fact that taxes were cut, they didn't necessarily stimulate the economy, a lot of the money went back to buying corporate stock. china that caused problems with the farm sector and never got anywhere. the republicans will go into this election with their own burden from the last administration, but the average voter is going to be saying, look, is my life better or worse. i'm paying more at the gas pump, i'm paying for more groceries, maybe i have a better job at higher wage with the prospect of an even better job sort of looming on the horizon. that's going to be the balance that biden is going to have walk and he will have to accentuate the positive steps that have been made and resolve some of the contentious issues in washington well before the campaign is getting underway for the midterms. arthel: all of the above seems like a tall border.

john bussey, we have to lever it there. thank you. >> my pleasure. eric: world health organization sending a new team of doctors and experts to try to find out exactly how coronavirus started in china and they say this could be the last chance to uncover the truth. what do you think happened? is china lying? we will have the very latest with the member of the w.h.o. advisory committee straight ahead.

arthel: brittish leaders across the political spectrum coming together to pay respects to a conservative lawmaker who was stabbed to death yesterday it happened as he met with constituents at a church. police are calling it act of terrorism. kitty willingan live in london, kitty, this hit everyone of all political stripes and demographics pretty hard, right? kitty: that's right. this has shocked politicians down to local residents in the community where david amess was a member of parliament. police did arrest a man at the scene and now it's counterterrorism officers who are leading this investigation. so david amess was a

long-serving conservative member of parliament and served in parliament for 40 years and earlier today we saw prime minister boris johnson visiting the scene of the attack leigh-on-sea and side by side, united front across the political divide. local residents shocked by what's happened. they are also laying floral tribute. so david really like today meet his constituents in person. it is the norm for british parliamentarians but, of course, there's no personal security outside of parliament and it does leave members of parliament extremely vulnerable. 5 years ago another british member of parliament gerald cox murdered on the street by far-right extremist. police have received very few details about the suspect they are questioning. we know he's a 25-year-old british somali and the police have been conducting searches at two london addresses.

police saying they don't believe that anyone else was involved in this attack but the government is now urgently seeking to improve security for members of parliament. back to you, arthel. eric: world health organization says new team of 26 scientists will renew its investigation into the origins of the coronavirus in china. its first team of ten researchers sent to wuhan concluded that the virus came from bats and more investigation was needed to see if the virus did come from the lab in wuhan. china as you may know has been accused of withholding data and not cooperating with investigators and blocking the probe. the new task force will investigate the lab-leak theory and director michael ryan says that time is running out. >> this is probably right now this is our best chance and it may be our last chance to

understand the origins of this virus in a collective and mutually responsible way. eric: jimmy is here, member of the world health organization advisory committee. jamie, you have written the quote, the chinese government owes everyone on earth including everyone in china total transparency and accountability. is beijing doing just that? >> absolutely not and that's why we have to hold them to that standard. from day one the chinese authorities have engaged in massive coverup involving destroying samples, hiding records, imprisonnenning chinese citizen journalists for asking basic questions and enforced universal gag order preventing which years scientists from writing or saying anything of pandemic origins without approval and today they are blocking full investigation and that's exactly what we need and we have to push for. eric: why do you think china would block the investigation?

>> well, i think it's clear that probably they have something to hide. we know that whatever -- whatever the origins of this pandemic, china have what i have long called a criminal cover-up that allowed this pandemic to grow. there's a great deal of circumstantial evidence suggesting the very real possibility the pandemic stems from an accidental lab incident. i can't go through all of it now but it's on my jamie metzl website and there's very big questions and we have to demand answers not just on behalf of the whatever the number is, let's say 15 million dead from covid, but on behalf of future generations who will be at increase risk unless we get to the bottom of what went wrong and fix our greatest shortcoming. >> when you talk about the lab leak, people go to the website and encourage them to do that. give us a sampling, what do you think it's the most incriminating evidence or possibility of this coming from the lab?

>> so there have been a lot of cases in history of these types of pandemics starting from nature and so that's a real possibility, but this sars-cov2 virus is bats, they don't have horseshoe bats other than the wuhan institute of virology. the wuhan institute of virology has largest collection of bat coronavirus and was doing aggressive research designed to make those viruses better able to infect human cells and then when the virus shows up it's very well prime for human to human transmission on top of that there have been nearly a hundred thousand resequences off intermediate host and we don't have a smoking gun but there's a gun laying on the table and when we touch it it's warm. eric: what about a wet market

that it jumped from some animal in wet market in wuhan. >> i think it's a lie that china told in the earliest days to have pandemic, by late january 2020 it was clear through a paper in that more than a third of the earliest cases were people who had no infection -- people had no exposure to that market so it's pretty clear from early on that the market was a place where an amplification happened and not where this started and for me that was a big tell that the china government from january until may of last year kept telling that same story and only in may did they admit what i think many of us at least those of us who are watching carefully understood is that it did not begin in the wet market and, again, with lie after lie, cover-up after cover-up it comes back to your earlier question, why are they doing this, why is china preventing an investigation? eric: they call it political and say nay criticism is unwanted and this sort of thing.

i mean, they did not let authorities take blood samples from some people in wuhan. they have taken other steps to try and block this. what -- what major step to block this are you most concerned about? >> well, lots of it, but the most important is that they are not allowing an investigation. most people would be stunned to learn that to date there's no international investigation, none has been carried out. they've been destroying samples. they are preventing as i mentioned earlier chinese scientists from speaking publicly and that's why we need to secure whistleblower provisions to allow people in china to speak freely. scientists in china are as ethical as scientists everywhere but they work in a very, very challenging environment where there's a lot of pressure on them by the chinese government. that's why i'm a strong supporter of the world health organization. we need to do everything possible through the w.h.o. to demand a full investigation if

china blocks that, then we need to say, well, what else can we do? perhaps we need an international investigation through some other mechanism where china doesn't have veto power for sure here in the united states, we need to have congressional hearings with full power of subpoena. there's a lot of information that can be for sure a lot of information is in china, but even outside of china there's a lot more information that can be brought together and that's why we have to get very, very serious now about doing everything possible to investigate the origins of this pandemic. eric: jamie, finally, we have all lived through this and were hit so hard and surprising because you didn't have symptoms. it's like -- it reminds me of a computer virus that's intentionally put inside a computer that it has a time bomb -- it's like a time bomb, no symptoms and it explodes in the computer at same point. this seems to be similar to what happened with us, that it infected our country, it was put on a delayed fuse, is there any

other virus like this that would show no symptoms, you get the flu, you the symptoms, is that unusual or am i wrong? >> well, certainly the fact that the sars vov2 virus has asymptomatic spread and the reasons why it spread so widely because other viruses when you get infected and you know it it's easy to quarantine those people but if you're suggesting does that indicate some kind of deliberate bioweapon i think that's unlikely but what i do think probable certainly not certain possibility but probable that the chinese authorities in wuhan may well have been doing research perhaps even well intentioned researching designed to create vaccines and treatments and perhaps possibly there was a mistake, there was a leak and then we know that whatever the origins, there was, again, what i call a criminal

cover-up and that's what allowed the stove fire to turn into a telephone fire and into a world fire and whatever the origins, we have to demand a full investigation. eric: it is a well inferno cause bid the chinese, caused by the chinese government whether it was interpretational or not. jamie metzl, great to see you, arthel. arthel: as tensions keep rising between china and taiwan, the u.s. is gathering allies in the region could china back down or could lead to a military conflict. we will talk about that.

>> well, the u.s. navy denying russian claim that an american destroyer was chased away in the sea of japan. russia says the uss approached territorial waters but turned back after being confronted by a russian warship.

the u.s. claims that claim is false. russia says the area was closed due to joint naval operation with chinaened both countries say the ships came within 65 yards of each other but the u.s. defense say it is interaction was, quote, safe and professional. arthel: eric, a show of force against china this week as the u.s. and so-called quad allies, australia, india and japan had joint exercises and tensions high as china has flown record number of war plane near taiwan. china sees the self-governing island as break away province but the u.s. has yet to explicit to defend taiwan from an attack. >> we need to help taiwan, provide more support and more fundamentally we need to make it clear to xi jinping that we will support taiwan, that we will

come to its aid. arthel: let's bring in dr. rebecca grant, she's national security and military analyst and president of iris independent research. dr. grant, last weekend i said that overtaking taiwan is on president xi jinping's bucket list. did the quick fall of afghanistan make checking the box easier for more likely for china? >> yes, i think it did and you are right. xi jinping wants to reunify china and taiwan because, remember, taiwan was the part that didn't get put together there and the revolution back in 1949. xi has made clear that's what he wants to do and here is what worries me. we used to think about a big invasion across the straight but when taliban walked into kabul i think that has china thinking of quicker decapitation attack and maybe they can put in a small force on taiwan and take over

and would the u.s. and allies do anything? that's what they are thinking about in beijing. arthel: well, first of all, what do you think would the u.s. and allies do something or is this just eminent? is there a way to avoid any sort of military confrontation with china? >> yes, there is and the exercises in the bay of bengal really a good sign. we have some great allies in the pacific starting with new zealand, australia and working right up through south korea, japan, and of course, india. so with these exercises our u.s. military is showing that they aren't going to lay down if china tries to do something against taiwan. the concern really is here in washington where sources tell me that there have been pressure on our commanders out in the pacific to not upset the chinese. everyone is wondering how -- >> arthel: what does that mean?

why not? >> right, right. that means that the white house, i think, is really reluctant to get into too much of a confrontation with china meanwhile we see china being very confrontational and my concern, we need some strong military moves to maintain deterrence in that area, arm sales, the joint exercises and much, much stronger military and diplomatic relationship with taiwan itself. arthel: so when you say diplomatic relationships with taiwan, so that means you've got to get an ambassador, some sort of envoy to taiwan to have, you know, table-top discussions and then also you mentioned china's military, surely their military is not stronger or smarter than ours, is it? >> right. two great points. there are so many things that the biden administration can do right now with taiwan including sending an ambassador. we have arms sales ongoing and

we need to bump taiwan for head of the line for fighter jets and other equipment. i like to see more u.s. military forces going to taiwan for military exercises. we need to help get taiwan back into the un into the world health organization, so many diplomatic steps and then your question about china, that's exactly right. remember, china has zero recent combat experience so that's an area where the u.s. and our allies are way ahead but having said that, china and taiwan are very close and china has a lot of high technology so this is a seriously difficult situation for us. we need to make it totally clear to xi jinping that he cannot try to attack taiwan and we need to use our military forces to do that to deter by having forces in the region and like i said having exercises with taiwan's forces plus with our allies. arthel: allies, really quickly. if you can, why is it important to protect and preserve taiwan's

democracy? >> they deserve to stand on their own and if we don't draw the line with taiwan, we might as well hand china the rest of the pacific. this is where it's got to stop. we didn't do it enough with hong kong. it's got to stop with taiwan. arthel: dr. rebecca grant. thank you as always. i've really enjoyed talking to you. thank you very much, see you next time. >> thank you, arthel. eric: very important issue. former president bill clint spending fourth day in the hospital but spokesman said the 42nd president remains in good spirit and walking around and talking to everybody. we will have an update on his condition straight ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪

eric: spokesman per former president bill clinton he's on the road to recovery for a non-covid related infection and he was admitted to the the uc irvine medical center in orange, california late tuesday night. claudia cowan outside of hospital with 75-year-old patient that we are told in good spirits and talking to a lot of people.

hi, claudia. >> hi, eric, that's certainly true, in fact, we are starting to see more activity with secret service agents and sheriffs deputies securing the area in case the former president is discharged soon which could happen because by all accounts he's doing much better and is responding well to the antibiotics he has been receiving here at the medical center over the past few days. in a statement a clinton spokesperson said, quote, all health indicators are trending in the right direction including his white blood cell count which has decreased significantly. former first lady hillary clinton has visited her husband several times and president biden has been on the phone with him as well. listen. >> he's doing fine. he really is and he's going to be released from the hospital and we talked about what we were going to do before, getting together and i haven't seen him in a while. have him come over and have some lunch and talk and encouraging why he thought the policies i was pursuing made sense but we

didn't get into much detail. it was mainly to see how he was doing. >> put me back in, it's claudia. the 75-year-old former president resides in new york but he was in southern california this week visiting friends ahead of an event for the nonprofit clinton foundation on thursday when he started feeling fatigued. he was admitted to the intensive care unit on tuesday with a urine air track infection that spread into his blood stream. but clinton's reps say he's in icu to give him more privacy not because of his medical condition and they want today make it very clear he does not have covid. the former president have had medical issues pertaining to his heart the doctors say this health scare has nothing to do with his heart. he's in good spirits and engaging with hospital staff and taking calls from world leaders and hopefully he's getting rest

in between that, eric, no doubt he's ready to go home. perhaps he will give us a wave or thumbs up when he does leave. we will let you know, back to you. eric: claudia thank you so much. of course, here at fox news we wish former president clinton well. he's the comeback kid perhaps bouncing back when he gets out of the hospital soon and we will be right back.
