before police continue to beundy released 12 officers him a shot in cities on coast-to-coast since monday. at least four of those are killed in the line of duty. that happened in connecticut, in mississippi and in nevada. the brazen attacks on law enforcement highlighting the danger of police officers face in the line of duty as they protect all of us every day. hello everyone walk on fox news life i am eric shawn. hi arthel. arthel: hello eric, hello everyone i am arthel neville.

we are learning new details about the tragedy in connecticut. two officers were killed in the third critically wounded and what police believe was an ambush following a phone 891 call for help. critics say anti- police rhetoric is only making things more dangerous for the men and women in blue who risk their lives daily to keep us safe. correct alexis mcadams is live in new york city which much more on this tragedy. what a shocking thing to happen in connecticut. >> how many people in that committee are grieving the loss of the families who have to say goodbye to their loved ones but across the country though crime against police is up. and up a lot for the national fraternal order of police funding at all on failed policies and anti- police rhetoric. this comes as crime is more the top priorities for voters right now. just a sense of monday at least 12 police officers have been shot. four of them killed. you can see right there on the map the shootings happened in half a dozen states in the past week there but this comes as a community in bristol, connecticut is grieving the loss

of two young police officers. humans see the vigil there. police sgt dustin demott tie officer alex hamza were killed or responding to a 911 call. investigators say that call was made to lure those officers to the home where they were ambushed in the driveway by the gunman opened fire with an ar-15 right when the officers open their door but a third a police officer was also injured he is expected to be okay. meanwhile law enforcement in north carolina grieving the loss of one of their own officers put off duty police officer gabrielle torres was shot and killed what he was on his way into work. taurus was one of five people killed in a mass shooting on thursday after a 15 year old boy opened fire near a nature trail part among the victims a shooter's own brother. john is here talking about this assault on police, listen. but she know this is just a continuation of the assault on police across the nation. so far this year we have had 68

direct assaults on police that were planned acts. this wasn't the officer bumping into somebody on a traffic stop. these were planned ambushes. i believe we are now seeing number 69 here in connecticut. this is a state of affairs and joe biden's america right now we continue to be attacked. we continue to be assaulted. >> violent crime is up in many communities across the country. voters are focused on the economy, crime and inflation ahead of the midterm elections, eric. eric: another minor the selflessness and the sacrifice of law enforcement officers in the line of duty. thank you alexis. steve eric and alexis for more on this bring in former new york city police commissioner howard safer. commissioner thank you for being here. it is an unfortunate store we have to cover. how do we stop this in the short-term and systemically systemically? works in the short term we have to do is we have to bring

respect from the public and from politicians back to the police. what's happening out there is criminals are not afraid of police. they are not afraid of the consequences and shooting police. they get out on bail with no bail. district attorneys are under charging assaults on police. the whole rhetoric of the phone the police, no bail laws, black lives matter, riots around the country is really a total disrespect for law enforcement. one of the things i always said when i was police commissioner the only people i want to be afraid of police are criminals and they were. we made new york the safest city in america. that is no longer the case. >> what is the responsibility of police departments or turn this around? and how can community leaders help? >> police department ski pep to train their people and how to

respond to what are basically blind to situations. and politicians need to say that we are going to support the police. one of the issues this driven me slightly crazy over the last number of years as district attorneys when there is a shooting the first thing they talk about is prosecuting the police officer. and that is why police are resigning and numbers never before seen. and are retiring in huge numbers. the sauna paper that it police department's are offering 10,000 dollars for something to become a police officer. that is not what you want police officers for about police officers who want to serve not police officers who won 10,000 dollar bonus. the world is upside down that's primary because of lack of leftist politicians. >> how do you fix the distrust between certain communities and police departments? >> you fix it by both going into the community and explaining what we do and why we doing.

also i did 76 town halls and i was police commissioner. i really heard about police brutality or police violence. when i heard is in minority communities are being victimized by other minorities. they want more police officers not less. but when you look around the country the good citizens who are working and tinker their families don't want police they want more police. arthel: into a clear we are certainly not saying crime only happens in black neighborhoods. certainly crimes are not only committed by people from those very communities. just to be clear neither of us is saying that. let me play some sound from congressman cleaver from missouri he was on fox business tonight, last night let's take a listen. >> i have three kids, three sons tell them all the time assume everybody has a gun. do everything you can to try to discourage people from getting

angry. i think right now people carry guns everywhere. if i'm just easy access to guns, locate the problem? often time criminals are more powerful guns and police do. >> i don't believe it does. in fact we are doing is we are regular ownership of guns for citizens. criminals do not care about the regulations are. we should encourage citizens to be trained and to lawfully carry weapons so that they are at least equal to the people are going to assault them. i'm sorry but a gift to clear something up. the majority of crime does happen in minority areas. the victims are minorities. and that is why when people say or do you send so many police in minority areas that's where the majority of crime happens. and that is a fact but it's not pleasant but it is a reality. >> is simply saying we weren't saying it's only there. that is what i was saying commissioner. >> absolutely not only there.

you look at major cities, the majority of victims of crime are minorities. >> let me follow up on something you said you were in favor of training people lawful people who get guns and to know how to use them, haven't registered paid but that's not the people i'm talking about. period people who are genuinely speaking are law abiding citizens are to the steps to get a gun legally. i am time by these criminals who get these ghost guns and all of the guns like that is, that are not registered. they are the ones who again i do not have statistics i'm talking about we are talking about generally speaking here. are going to be the ones who are perhaps calling 911 making fake call to 911 to ambush officers and the like. you see my point here? it is delicate. >> i do see your point. but the fact is there's 350 guns in almost 99.9% of all guns that

are using crime or originally bought legally only sate legally from legal gun dealers. so many of them were bought through purchasers of criminal higher people without criminal records to go get their weapons. we do not have a real database in this country relative to straw purchase. relative to people with mental illness. social media can come up with an algorithm that blocks if you say something about leftist politicians. why can't they come up with an algorithm that catalogs people with mental illness so we know about them before they commit mass shootings? arthel: commissioner thank you for bringing your history, your expertise to this conversation. and the fact that you have at your disposal pray thank you very much commissioner will talk to again soon, take care break works good to be with you. arthel: violent crime also

plaguing los angeles video emergence of a brutal attack there. we'll have more on that just minutes from now. eric. eric: lesko to politics politics now in georgia it is the first likely only debate held outside democratic raphael warnock went head-to-head with the challenger nfl star herschel walker. jonathan is live in atlanta with the wrap up that battle last night. hey jonathan berg. >> is a big battle. herschel walker going into this debate trying to downplay expectations. telling supporters underscore country guide. said he is going up against a polished and ministers spoke for a living. but walker really surprised not only his supporters but even some of his detractors on his performance last night as he debated democratic senator raphael warnock on a series of issues including the economy, take a listen. >> he said he would not have voted for the inflation reduction action. i think he should tell the people of georgia why he thanks

they should have expensive insulin and why the pharmaceutical compass news should be able to charge us whatever they like because i believe in reducing and some of the same time he may not know and i know many people on insulin unless you have insulin is doing you no good. you have to get food prices dirty got to get gas. >> are in the debate walker to senator warnock of being anti- law enforcement. warnock responded that he often prays with the families of fallen officers and you can support the police will still holding that accountable. then he called out walker's repeated claims of being a police officer himself. >> one thing i have not done i have never pretended to be a police officer. [applause] when i have never threatened a shootout with the police it. you know it so funny, i am.

[inaudible] police officer. >> mr. walker. mr. walker. mr. walker excuse me mr. walker. please out of respect i need to let you know mr. walker, you are very well aware of the rules tonight. you have a prop it is not allowed sir. >> independent reporting by the atlanta journal-constitution found that walker was never a police officer. but the campaign did tell the newspaper that several georgia counties have named him an honorary deputy, back to you eric for quicksort jonathan thanks so much, arthel. arthel: former president barack obama hitting the campaign trail as the midterms approach. he will support democrats in tough races in georgia, michigan and wisconsin later this month. the former president says dams asking why he is not been stomping already need to lighten up. mr. obama telling the save america podcast quote my family, my kids, work it gives me

satisfaction, having fun, not being a buzz kill and sometimes democrats are right. sometimes people just want to not feel as if they are walking on eggshells. time president biden is in deep blue oregon campaigning to promote a spending plan. try to win over voters in a really tight race for governor in that statement he claims his agenda is working despite three straight days of disappointing economic news. live in portland, oregon with the very latest on the president's visit, hey dan progress hi eric and lessen our president by don't take the stage behind me in a packed gymnasium here in portland and talk about how to lower costs for american families. but what he is really trying to do here is to avoid what would be an embarrassing and frankly historic loss for democrats in oregon. to do the organs government race it has been 40 years since republicans have won that race here in the state. right now the rights of a tossup

showing republican with a slight lead within the margin of error. the three woman race of all the former members of the state legislature including longtime democrat and now independent betsy johnson but polls suggest johnson is pulling more support from democratic then drazen right now. one shows about 60% of democrats to their voting while 71% of republicans are still supporting drazen. so the goal with this visit for biden who won the state by 16 points and dominated by a 66 points is to bring a lot more of those democrats home. >> one of the things the reason why it is so importantly when this off year election because a lot of what we done does not kick in until january. so people do not even know it yet. but the different landscape for biden organ's job approval rating is just 43%. this homeless encampment one of hundreds and the city is just a few blocks from where biden is

speaking. at a new oregonian poll shows 94% of portland area residents say homelessness is a very big problem. in fact the biggest problem here. code check is catching a lot of the blame as a democrat leader in a democrat run state. looking around trying to figure who is going to save her from this. i do think the reality is oregonian's really are looking for changer. it kind of does not matter who she brings into town for the quality of life here requires change. the effects this is not the end of the campaign trail for president biden. the white house is just confirmed today president biden will go to pennsylvania in 13 days to campaign there in a tight campaign races would be joined by his vice president, harassment we believe the first on this too will have campaigned together since 2020, erica. eric: allowed pennsylvania too. all right dan thank you arthel. arthel: here's the question should migrants have a say in

protest yesterday forced officials to briefly close and international bridge, leading to texas for a large number of migrants from venezuela i been coming to the u.s. in recent months leading to a surge in human smuggling. griffin jenkins is live in mexico with the latest. griff, this was also a president trump policy as well. there are some asking why should migrants have a say in u.s. policy? >> a arthel good afternoon. great question for that is right are the trump administration the policy was title 42 expel. the honduran, guatemalan along with the mexicans it back to mexico where they still do that. now they have added venezuelans. we brought you on the mexican side to very popular crossing point for you can see close, habits even this arthel. this is a rope made of close tied together. it's tied to iraq. migrants user to hold on to brace themselves as they go in because it is dangerous.

there is a crossing early this morning. in fact we were here several hours ago when a group of migrants roster was smugglers. let me show you some of that video per take a look at this. this was up a group of about a dozen nicaraguans crossed with smugglers. we asked them if they are opposed to us being there they did not have any problem with this let us film them doing so. in fact let me show you this video i was able to discuss with a smuggler exactly how much they cost -- how much they pay they said 500 to 1500 across an initial nine to 10,000 if they want to be driven to places like san antonio or houston. now this is obviously a daily operation. we've been here for two days and seen it both days. it is a contrast with the dhs secretary says of his criticizing those who say the border is open. told the daily morning news this quote the political cry that the border is open is music to the

smugglers ears because they take that political rhetoric and market it. we can chide by the way a group the fox team a shot of the u.s. aside in eagle pass. this was the group of about 200 across right here using that rope that i showed you. finally we want to show you the drone footage we shot today as well as yesterday we shot the same that is an international bridge crossing the border patrol brought over to the mexican officials of venezuela specifically to be expelled under the new title 42 but he talked to venezuelan migrants they are very upset. most were in the pipeline for days if not weeks to get here. they were totally unaware of it. they say they have no one to go to in mexico. them great fears the dangers to be in mexico for they do know and come back that's a little bit about the protest was about her to find them going to leave you with just a little bit of the humanitarian, the human part of this. just up this path we found a bible. clearly people who made the

crossing were concerned for their safety and making the journey to the u.s. which is so close and easy to cross here. but of course now we know many will be coming back there venezuelan, arthel. arthel: right griffin jenkins live in mexico thank you. eric: a shocking assault in los angeles. surveillance video now surfacing from an attack earlier this month. a disabled man who was stabbed in the neck. while eating at taco bell but this comes a supporter of an effort to recall the city's progressive district attorney george. whether keeping up the pressure on that jeff paul in l.a. with the latest from there. >> the numbers do not lie. crime especially here in los angeles is up this year exceeding the already high numbers we experienced last year. homicides in l.a. surpassed 2021 totals with just six months into the year. according to the latest figures available, violent crime is also getting worse. this is just one example of that. security camera footage

capturing a man walking into an l.a. county taco bell and randomly stabbing and 82-year-old man in a wheelchair. the victim was stabbed in the neck and the shoulder and is going to survive. the attacker though is still on the looser. now in south los angeles a carjacking victim was killed after being dragged by his own vehicle for 2 miles. police were chasing a murder suspect when they say that man crashed his car and then started carjacking another vehicle. but when the suspect took off the owner of the vehicle somehow remained attached to his own c car. >> it was obviously deceased at the time. it's not like he was suffering but he was already gone and obviously dead. we have a deep situation here for. >> meanwhile in north hollywood, watch the woman to the left of the screen. she is quickly approached by a man in the backpack for the >> truck obscures the moment it happens. police say that woman was randomly stabbed in the head

with a pair of scissors but investigators said the suspect also attacked another woman with a jar full of pickles. he was later arrested. eric: just so shocking, while jeff thank you. arthel: jury deliberations are likely to start monday in the federal trial of igor. former fbi informant charged with lying to authorities about his role in the controversy will steal dossier on former president donald trump. they would just live at the justice department with more common now. >> good afternoon. prosecutors announced after three days of arguments and questioning they were done presenting their case. we also found out the defense actually the defense never presented a case where they announced they would not put one on giving you an idea of how confident igor's defense team is in or they feel right now. this comes after the judge, the federal judge throughout one of

five counts of lying to the fbi for not sitting well with the government including special counsel john durham. as a russian national he will face only four counts of lying to the fbi. after the judge threw it out over technicality, he is the man the government says is you mention was a primary sub source for extra british by christopher steele who compiled the dossier about donald trump. durham alleged he lied to an fbi agent when he said he had not quote talked to a democratic political operative named charles dolan about that implement dossier. no one gave him information that actually ended up in the dos dossier. but the two communicated via e-mail technically they did not talk rate that is why the judge throughout that charge. dolan who is a witness in this case does have connections to russia according to two fbi employees who were on the stand yesterday. specifically he has a tight approach and spokesman dmitry. he is not on trial but the two fbi employees claim the mueller

team quash their efforts to investigator interviewed dolan throughout this whole process. danchenko is the third to recharge in the probe look into the origins of the russian investigation. the other two calvin klein former fbi attorney who pled guilty to falsifying a document used to obtain a fisa warrant as surveillance warrants against carter page, the trump campaign aide in 2016 also michael sussman the former clinton campaign attorney who was acquitted a few months ago for lying to the fbi. the question arthel and eric will this be john durham's last stand? he has been investigated for three and half years is only his second trial. if he loses he may bring up some sort of public and narrative, public report. you have to remember we're six years out from 2016. meeting the statute of limitations in many cases are up. meaning it is possible durham does not file any other charges, arthel. arthel: david's mom thank you for that report. >> vladimir putin's forces are now targeting ukraine the power

there is a massive risk of nato countries getting directly involved in the fight. and a car keep graveyard yellow and blue ukrainian flags marked the graves of fallen soldiers. headache into winter there's no end in sight for this ability and unnecessary war. we will fight, will make sure you create win-win and ethical in our hands the enemy's foot will not walk on our lands. he always said victory is ours. foster son to the conflict after he was killed by a russian mine. she is one of thousands of mothers who have endured unimaginable suffering over the last seven months. yesterday you create marked heroes date to thank those who have died or have been wounded in battle. as part of the sermon is ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy visited injured soldiers in the hospital. he later addressed the world from kyiv. they still have the opportunity to terrorize our cities and all

europeans black made the world zelenskyy says. but they have no chance they won't because ukraine is moving forward. what ukrainian leadership works to defend their country, there are concerning developments as a fears rise early conflict expanding. new satellite images so russian strategic bombers haven't moved close to the finnish border put a mandate nato will hold joint drills in the face of russian aggression. these drills are important because they send a message directly to russian president vladimir putin this type of aggression will not be tolerated, arthel. arthel: trey yingst live in ukraine thank you trait. eric: missile bombardments past week shows why the but they did more antimissile systems u.s. approving of the round of military assistance. secretary of state anthony brink and tweeting yesterday i have directed another drawdown of arms and equipment worth $725 million. the department of defense

inventory to ukraine. our 23rd drawdown since august . as ukraine's defenders push back russia's forces, the united states stands # united with ukraine. doctor rebecca grant joins us national security military analyst president of iris independent research and fox's contributive. will we or nato step up and provide the necessary equipment for ukraine's air defense that they so desperately need? especially after what we saw last week. >> the big take away from the g7 and that ukraine contact group this week was that nato is going to double down on air defenses for ukraine and it is about time. we will see some u.s. systems also a system from spain, from germany, the idea here is to make sure that ukraine is cities can fight back in case there are more air and missile strikes. and also to give covid to

ukraine's offenses on the ground so that they can continue to push in the east and the south and that russia cannot go take the initiative again. it is a really good move with these air defenses request you think it will work? they've had these models apparently they want army tactical missiles systems spray disco 190 miles. do you think the ukrainians will be able to receive the necessary equipment that will fend off putin's missiles? >> we know they will get more hi mars to use against russian ground targets. note yet were on the atac comes. definitely have seen good supplies. there is a variety of air defense system western made a systems and what general millie said this week is that all of that is going to be resupplied. remember the nato and the west are also providing the kind of intelligence and communication picture that ukraine's air force needs to do an effective air

defense. that is as least as important as the system and the extra rounds. what i heard was nato's going to really beef up the air defense systems been the going to get them there is fast as they physically can request it's a great thing to know. meanwhile the united nation putin find him somewhere i slid 143 nations voted against his alleged fraudulent annexation. do you see a possibility that russia is being called a terrorist state? it could be treated as a pariah. how far can this go to expel them and isolate them and rebuffed from from the international community? >> i wish the un would do a bit more. but there is no question that russia has really been isolated economically, when you can see from the battlefield they are not able to get components to rebuild weapons. except from places like iran that's happy to sell them drones. but the big problem as you know

is that china continues to buy russian energy. therefore really supplying and abetting this war in ukraine. so that needs to change as well. kennedy: can they be pushed away from putin? let me read you some tweets the noted russian expert has tweeted britt limits her at this one quote time to expel our russian diplomats and close all russian embassies and decent countries where spies and terrorists kick them out. after pollutant has turned russian to an outright terrorist state, or western democratic country should seize it diplomatic and trade relations with russia paired putin is no better than china's kim jong-un so treat them accordingly bit violent u.s. uk on intelligence-directly asked to enter putin circle unlike french and german intelligence for they should offer deals to give up potent unsightly to part the issues not punish culprits to but she make sure right

prevails. doctor grant, and you think there's a possibility countries can start maybe cutting diplomatic relations or at least kicking out russian diplomats? when can putin be pushed by his own inner circle out of a job? >> while i agree with all them the diplomatic side of doing things like constraining the price were russia consult oil. i am in of all of that. the part about turning over poaching and kicking out we would all live to see putin gone no one more than volodymyr zelenskyy. we just do not have insight right now but we do have the russian people are getting very restless over the call up a reservist. putin has had to say he will and that a few weeks earlier than he planned to. things are on the boil and russia, no question. eric: remember what happened and mussolini being dragged to the streets, doctor rebecca grant always good to see you, thank you. >> thank you. arthel: doctor grant and eric at the start of holiday travel season just 40 days away, officials worn this winter can

announcer: you may pay as little as $25 for a 3-month prescription. what the challenge of holiday seasons every year it is also a time were contagious respiratory viruses like influenza, rsv, and again this year covid, spread much more quickly. but the good news is we are not helpless against these challenges. in fact, what happens in the weeks and months ahead, we'll have a large impact on how the winter goes. that really what happens this winter is largely up to us as the american people. if i white house coordinator what may lie ahead the season for me the first holiday travel season with no covid restrictions. but, public health officials say it could also be particular bad for cold and flu cases. they urged americans to get their flu shots and their next

covid boosters before visiting others during the holidays. let's bring in out doctor and professor at ucla department of epidemiology. okay so if it is up to us as the american people, what is your recommendation? how do we stay healthy? especially as people are booking flights and making plans to visit family for the holidays? ask art bell, thanks for having me. that's a really great question. how do we do this? we know it's getting colder, people are going inside were going to see cases of respiratory pathogens increase. we are going to see this happen more than we are used to over these last few years because now we have so many mitigations taken off of. as a result what you need to do is think about making sure you are boosted for influenza. get your covid booster. and also if you're going into really crowded places if you want to avoid giving respiratory diseases you might consider wearing a mask or taking activities outside where you can, where it is practical.

by the cdc is saying now is a time to get the flu shot. everyone ages six months and older pretty much look at a map now prepared by the cdc shrink respiratory illnesses as of october 8. only a few hotspots. certainly not to contradict the cdc but everyone as you know will not get the flu shot. so who cannot afford to skip the flu shot? >> right now what we are seeing is just the very beginning of flu season for her own see a couple hotspots that is true. but what we do is to look to the south to the southern hemisphere. we look at their flu season to how to predict what we will see. there was a very bad flu season a lot of respiratory pathogen. pheasant were bracing for getting your flu shot optimally sometime before the end of october, mid november. that is the sweet spot to get it. it's good for -- six months for optimal protection. people who really need to get it are people who are the very young and people who are older or immunocompromised or living with people who fit in those

categories. >> in terms of trying to stay healthy during the holiday season the travel season, i don't know is it less risky to drive or take the bus? or train versus flying? i think the key here is to consider how many people you're going to be around and what your risk tolerance is. and what your risk factors are. being in close and places with a lot of people certainly ups your risk. special you are not wearing masks and we don't have the kind of mandates in place anymore. if you are immunocompromised is certainly helpful in terms of reducing the risk of covid or influenza or other respiratory pathogen like rsv. but again there are other risks associated with driving versus flying. so everything is going to be a risk balance here. arthel: understood good point there but probably but what about traveling to the uk or europe? as i'm reading about this

variant will the new booster give you widespread protection? >> so, traveling anywhere right now you're probably going to be exposed to other people with other pathogens. we are seeing increases in covid only encases but hospitalizations and deaths in europe. oktoberfest has been associated in germany with a very swift rise in cases where the uk to see this as well. and so you just have to be really thoughtful about where you're going, what you are doing in the plan accordingly. these boosters will help. they are omicron specific. and will be able to protect against these omicron variants the ones that are spreading her own micron. masking, staying outside we can and using good hand hygiene always a good idea. not just for color buffer flu, rsv, and other respiratory viruses. arthel: doctor and always giving it to as clear and concise and easy to digest that's what we love having you on.

thank you very much. >> my pleasure. arthel: stay for the flu is important special covid. you can see alexander hamilton on the stage on broadway every night. but he is a lot harder to find in capitol hill these days. chad pergram takes us to the room what happened coming up next we were blown away.
