and delivery swing when that gunman opened fire killing them for the methodist hospital security officer shot the suspect was identified as 30-year-old hernandez who is currently on parole for aggravated robbery and had an active ankle monitor on at the time of the shooting. dallas police chief eddie garcia called me tragic killing a failure of the justice system. he says we can't douse peter grateful for the support and care provided to our officers at methodist hospitals for much of the staff and victims of today's events. we will do everything to assist in the investigation. this is a tragedy in a failure of the criminal justice system for it hernandez was to another hospital for treatment. his condition of whether humans hospitalized is unclear. we do know he has been arrested on capitol murder charges. methodist health system releasing a statement is heartbroken but two of our beloved team members our entire organization is grieving this unimaginable tragedy. prior to risk most coworkers and their families as well as the

entire methodist family print one woman was visiting a friend in the hospital was shocked to learn the reason she could not leave was due to an active shooter several floors below her. she took this video as she waited in a vacant room. >> no place is safe. not your schools, hospitals, churches, no were safe. we want to be able to live a life or we have to worry about our safety. roxanne eric so far there is no word on the motive. so if our police cannot monitor an ankle bracelet they could do that in real time. so lots of questions about how this happened. >> lots of questions indeed thank you. all right eric thank you. there is new reaction and a lawsuit claiming cleared with big tech to sense of free speech over the covid pandemic. now, federal judge has ordered doctor anthony fauci and several others former and current white house officials to be deposed in

the case. charles watson is following the stories live in the lancet with more. >> good afternoon arthel bird this order mixer by demonstration officials to be deposed in a lawsuit brought about by the attorney general to both missouri and louisiana. alleges the officials collude with social media companies to censor free speech. millions of americans a controversy of topics including covid-19. this order comes from trump appointed u.s. district judge terry jody has said that plaintiff satisfied the burden of proof that the testimony of top white house officials include armor press secretary jen psaki white house advisor doctor anthony fauci. on the case of dr. fauci the judge concluded his public comments on covid-19 makes him a key figure in this lawsuit. jody writes in his order quote the court has no doubt doctor felt he was engaging in communications with high-ranking social media officials which is extremely relevant in the matter at hand.

additionally the crux of this case is a fundamental right of free speech. any burden that may be imposed on dr. fauci is totally outweighed by the importance of plaintiff allegation on suppressant of free speech. the original file alleges the officials quote unquote like facebook and twitter to censor and suppress information on a number of topics including the hunter biden laptop story, covid-19 origins and security of voting by mail. eric schmitt had this to say about the latest ruling it is high time we shine light on the censorship enterprise and foresees officials to come clean to the american people and this ruling will allow us to do just that. we'll keep pressing for the truth but arthel the biden administration and the passes denied colluding with any big tech company. fox has reached out to both the white house and dr. fauci's office for comment on this latest ruling. we are waiting to hear back.

>> right charles watson there in atlanta, thanks charles. eric. >> doctor tsao warning parents about a common children's respiratory illness that is spreading quickly it's called rsv. this virus is sending lots of kids in the hospital for symptoms similar to the common cold. experts say places like daycare centers happen to be hotspots. this we are told to more immune resistant covid invariants are spreading across the country. doctor janette nesheiwa, medical director and family emergency medicine doctor. always good to see you. first about what is going on with the children? it's very alarming it is called rsv what is it? rex hey eric, rsv this transfer respiratory syncytial virus but it causes inflammation in the lungs. it can cause infection and the lungs like pneumonia. what we are seeing and now it's

costing about 60000 hospitalizations and children every year. for every three children there hospitalized with covid we are seeing up to 30 hospitalized with rsv but in some areas of the country hospitals are considering calling for the national guard and calling on fema to help build hospital fields tensed outside the hospitals to accommodate all of these children who are coming in and respiratory distress. it's very important we recognize early signs were it's important we understand what to do to help minimize spread of this virus. it's very simple. we want to do is make sure you cover your mouth if you are coughing if you are sneezing, keep your hands washed and cleaned. make sure you are not touching her eyes, your nose, your mouth make sure you are not coming into close contact with someone who might have the sniffles who might have a cold. rsv can impact anyone it can affect anyone. her children can be life-threatening. we want to make sure we are careful if we stay away from

compilations of rsv progress at so alarming at the moment they say 70%, 70% of pediatric hospital beds are filled with these young patients who have rsv. do we know where it came from or how it mutated or whatever? >> that's a great question bird rsv has been on for many, many years. we tend to see respiratory illnesses during the cold winter months. but if you think about children as they are growing the first few years of their life they are exposed to different viruses and bacteria. so their body is able to have a build up a defense with their immune system. both the lockdowns in the school closures and that mass think they were not able to have the little bits of exposure to the various viruses. so they are saying it now for the first time. that is why it's being a little bit harder on their bodies if you will and causing these complications. whenever examine a child whose parents bring them in, i will listen to the hartford ellis

into their lungs but i looked up their shirts. they using >> muscles to help them breathe? if that is the case we send them to the hospital to get them on oxygen, we provide supportive care with tylenol, motrin, hydration that sort of thing. most of them do well. when you have overwhelming number of kids going to the hospital that is when it becomes a problem. >> it's amazing that kind of been protected at the same time they do not have the immunity. it has backfired. how to parent tell if it is rsv or a cold or the flu or even covid? >> sure, fortunately we actually have a test to differentiate between covid-19 between influenza and also for rsvp riff swabs that can tell you what it is. we do have treatment for covid antivirals. we have treatment for even the flu. we have some treatment for rsv in regards to preventative. meaning if a child is born prematurely or for adult has an

end at immune system this in medicine we can give before they pick up the virus are before they come ill. we don't actually have a vaccine for rsv. we do not have treatment for it other than supportive care with oxidization, food and hydration. it's now a matter of management requests finally, here we go again. two new variants said to be more immune deficient or highly more avirulent of covid it is called x beebe sounds like a futuristic thing. and be cute. how dangerous are these? >> it's a good question there not more dangerous they are more transmissible which means they can spread. we have over 300 sub variants of omicron which accounts for 60% of the cases in our country. we expect the virus to mutate and evolve. that is not new that is what they do. the concern with these new

variants are us not as effective. but what i am saying with my patients is the vaccines are still helpful they still work in regards to keeping my patients out of the hospital. i notice the antivirals like pax lovett are still very effective against even these new variants. the key is note your risk on a note to do to protect yourself. if you qualify for the booster makes you get it especially as we move into a cold winter months were seeing flu, or seeing rsv we are seeing covid for it is possible to have two infections at the same time. that is what we want to avoid or at least try to minimize the symptoms very. >> to be protected as you said get that booster, get vaccinated, protect yourself, your loved ones and others. doctor janette nesheiwa. always good to see you. >> think you always good to see you too. >> think it doctor janette and eric paired with inflation in front of mind for many voters we are going to look at how rising

prices and economic worries are shaking up the midterm elections. that is coming up next.

eric: letter putin's barbaric war in ukraine is at the eight month unchecked month mark. that is present zelenskyy said russian forces have launched a new massive strike he says targeting the country's energy grid. the attacks on power stations began last week. they have left so far more than 1 million homes without any electricity and power. this as the country heads into the cold winter months. trey yingst is alive in kyiv with more on what the russian forces are doing, trait. >> eric, good afternoon for this is a major problem for the ukrainians headed into the winter months. and yet another reason why you have ukrainian president zelenskyy and other allies of ukraine calling on the world to support this country as it heads

into the weeks and months ahead. >> is ukrainian forces advanced on the southern city russian backed officials are urging civilians to flee. ukrainian site russia mined a large hydroelectric dam in the region. it may blow it up to cause a massive disaster and slow the counteroffensive. they develop it's on the southern front come as russia continues to target ukraine's power grid. plunging much of the country into darkness. with winter around the corner, a lack of electricity will have many civilians freezing as the war grinds on for ukraine and its allies are calling for more military support while the battlefield changes and the threats against ukraine increase. >> winter is coming. it is really imperative that the u.s. government and politicians continue to support the war effort. not only through passing funding, but also engaging in international community and discussion with nato. >> daniel elkins is a fount of the special operations association of america.

he provides updated information on a variety of people from ground soldiers, to policymakers in washington. with russia using drones and looking to countries like north korea for ammunition, elkins explains the conflict is developing. bucks ault who are all of russia's allies right now? iran, north korea, china? it's very important we continue to support this war effort. this is not just a battle for ukraine against russia. this is a battle against democracy and tyranny. next russia's defense minister spoke today with european counterparts warning that ukraine could use a dirty bomb on the battlefield. there is no evidence to support this propaganda by mosque out but certainly concern to analysts who say this could be russia laying a groundwork for false flag attacked me you can hope the ukrainians continue to push the russians out. thank you trait. text me and won't china's communist party today giving president using paying an

unprecedented third term as head of the ruling party. this day after chilling moment of the party you can see that yesterday. that is her 79-year-old predecessor, suddenly it removed by security from his chair as he sat right next to xi jinping. you can state that official was led out of the building just like kim jong un and his father is to do to banish officials. >> this was a deliberate attempt to humiliate and to show president xi is in complete control by the world's got to be extreme a concern about the direction of china's going in. a new standing committee is completely packed with seas to allies. there is nobody who has a different view than xi jinping. >> the six show president xi took power back in 2012 its grip on beijing not seen since the day. he is expected to try and hold power the rest of his life. >> just 16 days to go until that

mid terms with the economy remains a central worry for voters. polls show the gop seems to be gaining momentum because of that. joining us now, author of yellen. fox news contributor and global economic contributor of the wall street journal. first of all, this report that erica just read about xi jin jinping, raining for life. that's got to be problematic for our economy at some point trading and the rest what you think? >> it absolutely is. for the last 30 years of big america multinational companies built their supply chains with china at the center of their operations in terms of producing supplies of chips and furniture and shoes. and now china is proving not only to be an unreliable partner as we saw during the pandemic on the health front. but also increasingly it looks like on the political front. a minute right before that

segment you had a russia on they are and what it is doing in ukraine. the global landscape has really changed in a way that is not helpful for the u.s. economy. arthel: absolute if got russia playing games with oil. you've got ukraine not being able to export a lot of grain. it keeps going on were going to get back to that will tie this together for the segment. because right now you've got current unemployment rate here at home. it's 3.5%. still i ask he was a democrat problem pertaining to inflation more of a plan or poor messaging on how that lateral work? >> what i have noticed about politicians in washington is that when the facts are not going in their direction they start talking about their messaging about the facts. and what is going on right now is the facts are not going in their direction. americans care deeply about inflation for it's a case the job market is very strong right now. if you want a job you can have

one. but the problem is what you bring home in that paycheck just does not go far enough for a lot of americans to cover all the bills. it looked at this summer at like inflation is turning a corner. gas prices were coming down, airfares, hotel prices, a lot of prices were raising. but it's turning in another direction right now. it hasn't improved. and that is a real problem for the democratic party going into these midterms. it has potential to get worse because gas prices since were talking about the global scene, saudi arabia poked the united states in the eye to when gasoline supply. there it just a lot not going in the favor of getting this inflation problem under control. arthel: this to be the first administration the saudi arabian government and worked out. started out ping-pong and you're jumping off eric support early about shooting pain, honestly everything you laid out in terms of the problems that could be

had for our economy sounds like a democratic list of why they are having trouble kind of getting this economy strong but getting the inflation down as quickly as they would like. >> the whole issue. not only for democrats but for the financial markets, stock prices have been really volatile and down the last couple of months. a lot of americans are concerned about their stock portfolios. interest rates are going up. it's harder to finance a new home if you want to buy one. this all comes back to the inflation story. it looked this summer like inflation was settling down a little bit. and it has just turned in the wrong direction over the last couple of months. really, to solve a lot of problems you've got to get the inflation problem under control. >> absolutely. let me jump in for the sake of time at john. got a limited amount of time (let's go to the other side. senator ted cruz has inflation is caused by president biden's

policies. president biden insist the republicans had no plan to reduce inflation. so what is the gop proposal to reduce inflation? >> it gop is a conservative party. conservatives and uk just try to cut taxes in the market just totally rejected that. so this political ping-pong and i'm not sure how far gets you. president trump put in jay powell as the fed chairman. he is the guy a cut interest rates so much kind of help to cause this inflation problem. there is just a lot underneath that question. what we need is somewhat slower economic growth. and we need these global supply chains to get back under con control. and there's been a lot of bad luck. everybody needs a little bit of luck right now too. arthel: if the government succeeds, we succeed as a country, whoever's in charge. but you did not answer, there was no gop plan. i'm just saying let me let me do

this final question for you because according to kiplinger economists predicting inflation should drop to 3.5% by the end of next year. so if that does happen, moving ahead and looking forward how might that impact the presidential election in 2024? >> that is the expectation is inflation is going to come down and next year. a lot of people are making that argument. the problem is a lot of people have been saying that for the last two years and it has not happened. you have to have a little bit of skepticism. hopefully fingers crossed it happens. i will say one of the thing though because you are pressing about the gop plan i did say the uk tried to cut taxes. that was rejected by the market. i think all the foremost for solving this problem are not necessary going to work with the gop responses let's cut taxes we just saw in the uk they try that and the prime minister was in power for about four weeks. arthel: 44 days i was actually

there when that happens. it was unbelievable. to watch the local coverage and hear the chatter in the various restaurants talking to my friends who are from there, unbelievable poet. ari got to go, fox news contributor and global economics and contribute the wall street journal, thanks john will see you again, take care. >> 44 days that's what anyway. false claims of election fraud are damaging our democracy. up next were going to tell you what officials are doing to protect the midterms. our series protecting the boat is next. michigan secretary state jocelyn coun t. golo is real and it changes your life.

joins us now. welcome to fox news channel. >> thank you for having me. >> good to see you. how can you reassure the people about the integrity and credibility of the election is coming up? >> well, you know we have time-tested security procedures in place here in michigan and all around the country. elections are decentralized in the states they run by republican democratic and independent clerks and nearly 1500 countries all across the state. we are committed to transparency, we are committed to ensuring if there's any type of wrongdoing that accountability and consequences are met. in every single eligible citizen can vote and only valid bouts are counted. we encourage everyone to keep asking questions for you to know we are committed to transparency but to look at facts and evidence and allow that to determine how we move forward as opposed to hyperbole and dispersions that are not rooted in facts or evidence. before some people watching were and are not going to buy this or they can stuff the ballot box,

when you say to the election deniers? >> again, look at the facts but look at the evidence. the closer you look the more highly scrutinized with interest in looking at the fact you can find truly that our elections are secure in the results are accurate but as an example public and say senator ed mcbroom had an oversight committee and state senate hearing here in michigan and they looked at the evidence. all of the allegations are on the 2020 election and found indeed the election was accurate and rejected a lot of meritless accusations but you can read their full report which in a very bipartisan open eyed way looks at the allegations and looks at the evidence and drowsy conclusions the election were accurate. a republican appointed state auditor did the same thing. when you look at the evidence the results are clear put our elections are secure, accessible and accurate. sewer how dangerous do you think democracy and the foundations are stand for how are these

claims? >> is truly heartbreaking. people are being misled by politicians who are seeking political favor in seeking to gain celebrity or raise money off of these deceitful lies. it is hurting not just people's faith in our democracy but it is creating and harming our ability to hold our elected officials accountable. people give up on democracy than they give up on their power to ensure that those we elect to represent us and do what is best for us. so we have to ensure at times like these when you do have questions about elections and about election security seek out information from trusted sources from professionals who have been working in the field of elections for decades. they are in every state. we can provide that information upon inquiries as we have for months now and years to anyone is seeking to have rightly placed faith in our elections. see for they think election

officials can twist things, they can take the votes they can stuff the ballot box they can fill around the machines. most first it's important to note there are paper ballots in our elections and nearly over 90% of elections in our country. with those paper ballots enable us to conduct postelection audits which are important to be done by professionals for we have done over 250 here in michigan. and by republican, democrat independent clerks. those help reaffirm both the procedures going into elections are followed for that only valid votes are counted for example. they also affirm the machines are actually counting this paper ballots parts of audits are important. that is why we have done more in michigan under my tenure than ever before. that transparency is important as well. one of the benefits i try to see silver linings in moments like these, of this intense scrutiny. though some of it is fueled by lies at all has encouraged us to ensure voters have access to the facts are on our elections and

to be more transparent. clerks have really doubled down on their transparency before every election for example if our clerks have a public accuracy testing of machines. we invite the public to those testings we invite them to serve as election workers you can see first-hand layers upon layers of security protocol that we have in place to ensure all valid votes are counted. >> 20 seconds less let me read you a tweet from one of our viewers they said the state of michigan is now completed a forensic audit of their dominion voting machine using 2020 elections and the attorney general the state is blocking the results of the audit, wonder why? quick answer is that true? >> no. i'm like you brought this up for this a perfect example help falseness about her elections are you being used to deceive citizens but we have conducted more than two to 50 audits of the 2020 election published the results of all of them at michigan.gov/votes. these also included one in antrim county republican democratic officials hand

counted every vote cast for president. again the evidence is there can be a resource for folks to talk to your local election officials. >> michigan secular state thank you very much for their nap some of misconceptions of the false accusations. and claims about voting. we want to be protected, more news on fox news comes right back.
