7:00 am
happy. [laughter] i appreciate the affirmative action. equity. >> equal opportunity. >> thank you. >> see you tomorrow. >> new details in the killing of four university idaho students but questions still remain. welcome, everyone, i'm jackie denglis. moscow police department revealing four victims were likely asleep before they were brutally murdered. some of the bodies exhibiting defensive wounds but the likely edged weapon that killed them still yet to be found and a suspect yet to be named. police also saying they don't believe the two surviving
7:01 am
roommates were involved. let's go right to former dc homicide detective ted williams who is in moscow, idaho. ted, good morning to you. your thoughts on the latest developments of the case. let's just start there. >> good morning, jackie. we have a real mystery here. you look at the house that's over my shoulder here in this 3-story home you had 5 women or 5 university of idaho students that occupied that home and it was sunday morning after 1:45 a.m. that these students got home and one of them brought her boyfriend with her and sometime during the early morning hours four of these students were stabbed. now, what the authorities have told us is that they believe that this was a targeted killing
7:02 am
or killings. they don't know and they haven't shared with us how many individuals were actually involved and they believe that some of the victims when they did the autopsy had defensive wounds and that simply means that there was perhaps a struggle with some of the victims. there were two individuals that were in the house overnight that were not harmed. there is a big question, jackie, because it was 9 hours after this incident in the early morning hours on sunday that this was reported to law enforcement. so there is a great deal that we do not know but we do know that it was one weapon and that that weapon was a large knife. jackie: so that's what's puzzling for me, ted, if,
7:03 am
indeed, one weapon was used but four people were killed and you had the defensive wounds and they were killed in this brutal way, then how is it that, you know, with the defensive moves i imagine there will be audible noises and the mystery remains that the two other girls in the home remained asleep and i know it's been reported that they were out and maybe they had a few drinks and so they didn't necessarily know what was going on but even the other victims didn't hear anything. it just seems difficult to believe that one weapon was used and that there would be one individual carrying out all four murders. >> well, the authorities have not said, jackie, how many individuals are actually involved, but i can tell you that you're absolutely right that the manner in which this house is set up, it appears as though that someone would have
7:04 am
heard something during the night and specifically if there was a struggle in that house that clearly should have been heard by other individuals in the house. jackie: yeah. >> what is interesting about this also is if you look over my shoulder, you'll see the door there. that door is a coded lock door, but from what we understand it was not always locked. that's one to have two entrances to the house. the other entrance would be in the back, a sliding door, so the killer could have come to either one of those doors but i can tell you, jackie, whoever did this would have a tremendous amount of blood on their clothing and so i am sure the authorities are trying to get the help of the public to try to determine if someone came home with a lot of blood on their clothes and also the person may very well have been wounded in using this large knife to stab
7:05 am
these students. jackie: what i understand about the points of entry to the house, ted, the coded might have been locked at the time that this happened but many people had the code so it's difficult to know if the perpetrator or the people who did this carried this out when in that door specifically. but also the side door, basement door underneath house, that it was a sliding door and that door was unlocked possibly allowing essentially anybody to have entrance into this home without -- without keep pad access or any knowledge. >> well, yes. but the mere fact that the authorities have said to us that this is a targeted killing -- killings shall we say that then clearly that tells me that the authorities while they are not focusing in on any single individual that they know a great deal more than they are sharing with us about the
7:06 am
killer. when you are -- do this kind of a carnage or this kind of a killing, you leave a lot of physical evidence and i would have to believe that the authorities have some physical evidence that they are working with and i'm sure they are also working clearly with dna evidence. >> i think you bring up a lot of good points and obviously the community has been rocked by this and not having a suspect in custody leaves many people feeling unsafe, however, you know, you've been part of investigations before when you have sensitive information or you're on the trail, sometimes it's not in the authority's advantage to release that information because it might make the investigation more difficult for them or, you know, the process by which they need to navigate this. >> you're absolutely, right. the authorities do not want to compromise the investigation but the authorities unfortunately in this case had put out misinformation at the beginning of the investigation that the community at large were not in
7:07 am
danger and with the killer or killer still out there, they clearly -- this community needs to certainly -- could very well be in danger. it's not as simple as that. so they're still doing their investigation. i'm sure they are going to share with us hopefully jackie, but this is what we know at this stage that we have four young college students who were very promising and their lives have been taken and i can tell you the last thing i believe here that this is more likely than not that this could be a rage killing because the question is, why do you kill four individuals in the house. if if you were targeting one or maybe more than one, but what the authorities have also been able to do, jackie, is to put together a timeline and they've shared that timeline was. they know when the students all
7:08 am
four of them arrived back at this home here. and it appears as though they did, in fact, go to bed and it was after they went to bed that the killings started. jackie: it's a really tragic story, every parents' nightmare. hopefully we will have answers soon. ted williams, thank you so much. >> my pleasure. jackie: let's get to another crime story that we are following this morning. retail theft is on the rise for businesses across the united states and stores like target say it's costing them big time. fox business' lauren simonetti has more. lauren. >> the industry calls it shrink, target is taking a lot of that. executives there blame organized retail crime specifically for reducing gross margin by $400 million so far this year. >> we expect it will reduce the gross margin by more than
7:09 am
$600 million. this is an industry-wide problem. >> it's not just individuals stealing here and there, it's organized gangs of shoplifters systemically stealing merchandise and now target has locked up lots of that merchandise, stores near its minneapolis headquarters and queens, new york putting essentials like laundry detergent and deodorant behind doors. dedicated worker to lock the cases in each aisle. target tells us it's a widespread problem saying and i quote, along with other retailers we are experiencing a significant increase in theft and organized retail crime across our business. we are partnering with law enforcement, legislators, community partners and retail trade associations to address this growing national problem. and the national retail federation says the scope is likely underreported meaning the numbers are much higher, jackie.
7:10 am
jackie: lauren simonetti, thank you. two dead in lake-effect snowstorm that pummeled western new york with nearly 6 feet of snow. more still on the way. madeline rivera is in buffalo. reporter: jackie, is getting a big of a break now. overnight they got 1 to 2 feet of snow breaking the record that was previously set in 2014 at 7.6 inches. that was daily record then. local officials had to once again impose a travel ban. >> state of emergency remains in place because it gives us the flexibility to make it a number of different decisions that we have to make on the fly with regards to reevaluating things, travel restrictions are still in place. >> but the snow totals pail in comparison. folks have a bit of a mess to
7:11 am
clean up. governor kathy hochul says several crews are pulled away to help drivers stuck? the snow, a lot of them tractor trailer that disobeyed ban in western new york, 70 national guard members have been deployed to the southern part of eerie county, still local officials are optimistic. >> i would say from a management and emergency manage innocent standpoint and all the feels being in motion to get us the resources that we've need, yeah, we are through the worst of it. >> but more snow is expected in the region tonight so these guys aren't quite out of the woods just yet, jackie. jackie: madeline rivera, thank you so much. coming up next, a victim of the ftx collapse speaking up after the crypto king goes down and he is not happy about it. and with thanksgiving around the corner, will stuffing the turkey mane -- mean emptying your

wallet?

7:15 am
jackie: new development tons bad blood twine ticket master and taylor swift fans, ticket master apologizing for the swift tour sales fiasco and explaining why the issues occurred stating this. the staggering number of bo attacks as well as fans didn't have access codes drove unprecedented traffic on our site resulting in 3 and a half billion total system requests four times our previous peak, they added never before has a verified fan on sale sparked so much attention or traffic. this disrupted the predictability and reliability of hallmark verified platform and this comes as doj reportedly opened an investigation into ticketmaster's parent company live nation. we will be watching for more updates on this story.
7:16 am
and from ter -- ticket fiasco to crypto. and this is coming from the guy who oversaw and runs bankruptcy. is he right, let's ask ftx investor who lost more than $2 million in the company's collapse, evan luthera joins me now. let me start with the latest coming from the wall street journal that ftx raised $420 million in funds. 300 million of those went to sam bankman freed. he cashed out some of his personal stake, how does that make you feel? >> from all the fiasco i have come to realize that sam bankman is a bad actor because we already know that this is a bad actor, this is a fraud, this is
7:17 am
a criminal. everything is done as far as ftx, spending my funds, this is not surprising anymore. it's not surprising hearing everything that he has done in the last week. jackie: as an exchange the fact that there were a number of things that allegedly went wrong here, but as an exchange holding on to the customer fund, there's no expectation when you trade crypto or anything else that the exchange would use those funds to make other investments or purchases or whatever it is exactly that they were doing or give them to the trading arm, a different arm of the business to leverage them in this way. and so part of this is a crypto story and where the regulation to crypto and tokens and creating them but generally is oversight story that some of the aspects could have happened everywhere and where were the government agencies that were supposed to be watching this?
7:18 am
>> i think you currently blame the government here. this was a con man who fooled everybody from the highest leverage of the government officials, he was close toast getting regulated by anybody else but this was all intentionally done. this was a very calculated plan or i would say a crime that was taking -- has taken place. nobody ever expect that is the fund -- an exchange that you're using is spending your money, right, is to do whatever you want. when you're putting money in exchange, they are supposed to keep it as it is, as user deserves. this is a big lesson for inch in the crypto community. big strong lesson that not your keys, not your crypto. you don't hold the keys, it's not really your money. ftx started acting like a bank and this is what happened, we started trusting them as institution and they have shown what happens when you lay trust in other parties. bitcoin it has strong as it has been but you can't really blame nobody in this case except bankman freed and his crew
7:19 am
intentionally planned and executed a fraud against all t whole community and everybody involved. jackie: certainly does seem that he was the master mind here. i also want to get your thoughts on the lawmakers most of them who were r democrats, they did receive donations from ftx founder bankman freed and some of the lawmakers are regifting money to charity and others have been downplaying contributions and some people said even if they spent the money, they should re-raise it and give it back to the victims. what are your thoughts? >> i think the money should go back to the victims. this was never his money to giveaway. he gave it away without permission. the funds should definite i will go back to the people, the users, the victims and secondly i think that was -- you see in the past there's a lot of bad actors who donated heavily, harvey weinstein, they've all donated heavily.
7:20 am
you can't blame the government for accepting donations knowing that was going to be a criminal but the right thing would be to give the funds back whoever got donations and should go to the victims whose fund it really is. jackie: we can't blame them but we can question what the motives were. >> 100%. jackie: as the story continues to unravel maybe we will get more answers but evan we really appreciate your time this morning, thank you. >> thank you for having me, have a good day, guys. jackie: mass exodus at twitter after elon musk gives workers an ultimatum and get ready for more investigations. the new congress sounding like to old congress but there are some differences next. ♪ ♪ ♪

7:24 am
jackie: attorney general merrick garland naming special counsel to oversee justice department's investigation into sensitive documents recovered at mar-a-lago and the january 6th riot and comes just day after former president donald trump announces third run for the white house. where is this all headed, let's get straight to former deputy assistant attorney general tom dupree, tom, great to see you this morning and being able to dig into this a little bit. your thoughts on the timing of this and the american who is are watching thinking the explanation is that an independent counsel is supposed to somehow make this a little bit impartial but they still feel it may be slightly politically motivated? >> yeah, jackie, i think america's reaction this morning is here we go again, you know, another special counsel investigation opens its doors
7:25 am
and, look, the timing on this did surprise me a little bit. president trump announced candidacy for president just 72 hours ago on tuesday night and immediately, you know, 3 days later merrick garland appoints a specials counsel. it's something that he could have done months and months ago when the investigations began or something that he could have let a little time pass rather than do something at a time where seems connect today president trump's candidacy announcement. jackie: you bring up a great point. could be seen as surprising or not surprising. having said that, tom, two aspects to this obviously. the documents that were taken to mar-a-lago dye president trump but also they're looking into his efforts to potentially obstruct the transfer of power in 2020. all that said, how does this impact his run in 2024? >> well, it's obvious it's going to be something he has to deal with. we will see how quickly these
7:26 am
investigations move forward. you're right that there are now two separate investigations that have basically been consolidated before a single special counsel. mimy sense is that the mar-a-lago investigation will probably move a lot faster. i think there there's a limited witnesses and the january 6th events is something that's much more sprawling, much more harder to get your head around the facts or conduct an investigation. it wouldn't surprise me that the mar-a-lago part moved quickly and the january 6th quickly part of this moved slowly. jackie: jack smith in charge of investigation reports to merrick garland. merrick garland is not supposed to be involved in it although he has authority to remove jack smith. having said that he has a pretty good reputation. your thoughts on the choice -- >> seems like a reasonable choice. i mean, this is a guy who is prosecuted before. he's familiar with national security issues, you know, by all accounts, he's a straight
7:27 am
shooter. at the same time it's important to keep in mind as you noted that merrick garland isn't completely disengaged from this, to the contrary to the fact that he will keep one hand on the tiller and ultimately his decision, merrick garland's decision whether or not they indict former president trump. the independent counsel gives you some independence but make no mistake merrick garland is still steering the ship. jackie: got it. tom dupree, thank you so much. >> thank you, jackie. jackie: republicans winning narrow majority this weekend, meanwhile house speaker nancy pelosi announcing she will not seek reelection for leadership position so what is all of this going to mean for the work that they are supposed to get done for us, the american people. joining me washington examiner, tianna lowe, always great to see you. let's start with republican leadership of the house. obviously i covered business and
7:28 am
wall street and wall street saw the handwriting on the wall and was happy about it because essentially even if legislation can't necessarily be passed by republicans, they can block legislation, they can block further spending and that right now is viewed at least by the markets in wall street as a good thing. >> yes, the markets definitely like that gridlock and it makes sense, right, because we had a president that entered office with mandate to govern and he still pushed through $1.9 trillion and we saw the inflationary cycle spin out. we got good news on the inflation front with nod rating ever so slightly the core cpi coming down and now you have republicans back in the helm ever so slightly. what that means we will get a slowdown in spending, we are going to get a slowdown in biden being able to pass stuff and get stuff done and we know that markets respond well to that. was this a great win for republicans, clearly not in the last 100 years of those 25
7:29 am
midterm elections that have ever been held the party in power has only ever gained house seats 3 times in those last 25 elections. so the fact the republicans managed to get, you know, a very slim majority not a huge feet but it does sort of put the brake down on biden's spending which we know is good. jackie: and the breakdown will be crucial for kevin mccarthy when we see the, you know, official election of who will be the speaker. but having said that, we also have the news that nancy pelosi is moving away from her leadership role and i'm just wowondering given how split the country is, do you think it's time for new leadership on both sides? >> oh, certainly. the difficulty is who is in the back bench, right. on the democratic side hakeem jeffress, he's trained, he's nancy pelosi trained successor but he engaged in denialism of his own when trump won.
7:30 am
i don't think that's going to bode well when the state of our democracy is the campaign line for democrats and we saw clearly that worked better than others and i think myself expected. on the republican side of the aisle who can really replace mitch mcconnell who is not a visionary in terms of governing the senate while republicans have power he is great at stopping democrats when republicans are out of power. we are talking about pushing, joe biden turns 80 this weekend. donald trump will be 78 on election day if he does actually see this through. i don't think anyone is questioning the fact that our leadership is too old and we do need new ideas. but the question is who, who can take that over. we saw rick scott try and challenge mitch mcconnell but we saw how well rnc did in the election. they were bankrupt by august and he needed mitch mcconnell to
7:31 am
bail him out. jackie: history has shown it's not impossible to get things done when the government is divided. we saw president bill clinton work with republican speaker newt gingrich. do you think that president biden and mccarthy can come together and find a way to get things done? >> i mean, hopefully i think that that's a bit ambitious, right, and it's difficult because you have now twitter these days and unlike the clinton dais. i think it's clear that -- not from a market perspective but probably going to pass, right, and that's a landmark piece of legislation when you think about ten years ago where the ball was on marriage equality. that being said, you know, with the collapse of ftx, i think that there will be bipartisan support for a little extra regulation of the crypto market needed or not but really it all comes down to spending and inflation. jackie: spending and inflation. tiana, thank you so much. good to see you this morning.
7:32 am
inflation, easing little this month president biden is cheering it but are you feeling it as you head into thanksgiving and the world's cup about to get underway but in and out without contrevy and why beer loving fans are ticked off?
7:33 am
7:34 am
7:35 am
jackie: americans facing sticker shock as they hit the stores for their thanksgiving dinner and they're cranking up the heat with temperatures getting colder. president biden still saying his policies are helping but are
7:36 am
americans feeling it? lucas tomlinson at the white house for us. hi, lucas. lucas: hi, jackie, good morning, 30 minutes away from president biden's granddaughter being married here at the white house in his first public remark from returning in overseas trip. president biden try today reassure the public that the economy is getting stronger. >> and our approach is working. it's going to take time to get inflation back to normal leverages as we keep job market strong so we can see setbacks along the way, i don't doubt that but so far we are in good shape but we are laser focus on that. lucas: remarks to virtual audience and ceo of ford probably talking about electric vehicles and the president of the automated workers, jackie. this chart did not make it in the president's presentation, inflation being 1.4% when biden was sworn into office, it's been over 7.5 all year remaining at
7:37 am
nearly 40-year highs, biden says gas prices remain high but 50% higher than sworn to office and retirement savings have plummeted 23%, heating bills are expected to be 25% compared to last winter, republican leaders remain outrage. >> 75% of americans believe we are on the wrong track. economically they've watched in the last two years, when you served in the trump administration we watched what prosperity could do to the nation and it didn't focus one on part of the country, it lifted everybody up. >> we don't have to remind our viewers ant inflation, they feel it every day when they go to the grocery store and they buy ingredients for thanksgiving dinner. it's expected to cost 20% more this year compared to last year, jackie. jackie: cpi has come down but the food prices remain elevated and people do feel it. thank you so much. of course, not just the food costs that are climbing, homeowners are getting slammed
7:38 am
with home heating bills. temperatures drop ago cross the country. madison alworth at how bad it could get this winter, madison. >> we are riding around with oil for less and say customers are struggling to keep up with the skyrocketing costs. heating costs are expected to be high this winter. heating oil up 68% year over year. today they filled up this tank with $950 worth of home heating oil. a year ago the same amount of oil would have cost them closer to $60 and that's why the company tells me some customers are doing without. >> people are going without hot water and heat for a week because they haven't had the money to call me and say come on in in. >> 80% of the home heating oil is consumed, this is the first really cold week and people who were hoping that prices would come down and need to fill up now are paying a dollar more than they would have a month ago according to the energy
7:39 am
information association. jackie: madison alworth, thank you. president biden says that economic policies are helping to ease inflations so are americans feeling that relief or are they still feeling the pinch. to king's view asset management cio scott martin and democratic strategist laura fink. laura, i want to start with you because cpi has come down and it's off the peak but still at 40-year highs and americans are struggling and they said as they exited the polls that food costs are one of the top -- top issues right now and this is all going on a little bit longer than everybody expected. you had a fed and an administration that said it was transitory. it hasn't been transitory. they are saying we will see some relief, we haven't really seen the relief yet and the president says that everything is fine. i mean, is he being a little tone deaf here? >> i think he expressed empathy in other parts of that side of remarks that just didn't get clipped but i do think there's a lot of empathy but unfortunately the economy is kind of working
7:40 am
out. you are not going to see results right away. we are seeing indicators that you're suggesting where inflation is coming down, gas prices are coming down. we are seeing that we are performing well especially in the context that this is a global crisis. you are not seeing inflation numbers looking great in just about any other country. so president biden realizes that this is improving and it is helping and consumers know that. 40% of consumers, of voters that looked at joe biden and said you know i may not be satisfied with him but i'm going to vote for him or vote for democrats anyway. that's a sign that they understand that this economy may not be something that they are happy with now but they -- they trust that it's going to get better. so i see that across -- across the country and i think you see that with the fed's numbers, i think you see that with the improving numbers, the jobs numbers that haven't been mention and the goldilockses economy is on track but it is hard -- >> goldilockses. jackie: scott, i'm going to take
7:41 am
you take a little stab. people were putting other issues like abortion ahead of the economy even though they said that the economic environment, you know, they are struggling in it right now and having said that we do know that the fed will have to keep raising interest rates to cool down the economy and the jobs numbers don't show it yet, scott, i imagine at certain point there will be a tipping point hearing from companies and meta and that's are laying people off in droves and jarome powell told us american wills have to lose their job here. >> i think we insulted goldilockses or at least laura did but this seems like anything like a goldilockses economy. we are barely growing, we have inflation out of control. jobs are still strong but it's starting to tail off. doesn't make any sense. going forward also too with respect to the fed, they have more rate hikes behind them and they need to take the brake and
7:42 am
that should bring inflation down. that's not going to help growth at all and therefore put us into another recession. jackie: laura, i like the analogy that you make that when you try to initiate change it takes a while like going to the gym and trying to see results with your workouts, but having said that americans have been going this for well over a year, approaching two years now and getting to the point that people have to make hard decisions. i understand that your side says it's going to take more time but how much more time can we give it before people reach a breaking point? >> i just want to be clear. it's not just my side, it's vast majority of economists that are looking at this. when one of the things that you see with republicans, my colleague, everyone, not offering up an alternative they know that this is sort of the right direction that this is incredibly tough and durable problem with the a global pandemic, it's going to be hard to recover. we have to recognize the scale of the problem while having empathy for the voters and workers that are coming to the table and trying to get the
7:43 am
food. jackie: i'm not sure which economists you speak to. we speak to a lot of economists, scott, we hear from a lot of ceo's who have basically said that there will be a recession in 2023. >> i'm happy to speak to that. jackie: last word, scott. >> they don't admit they had a recession there's another one coming and also, look, out of control spending wild regulations is not a way to bring down inflation. we are seeing a lot of the inflation come through basically the bottom line and having a stance like that going forward too as he has that's not going to help price pressures anywhere let alone small businesses that are struggling already. jackie: scott, laura, good to see you both this morning. world cup kicking off tomorrow in qatar but will a ban on beer have fans more boisterous, alex. alex: we have been talking to fans here about how they feel about not being able to get a
7:44 am
beer in the stadium but despite that there's a lot of excitement leading up to the world cup that kicks off tomorrow. we will have much more after the break.
7:45 am
7:46 am
7:47 am
jackie: world cup set to kick off tomorrow after controversy and last-minute ban of beers at the stadiums has some spectators fuming, alex hogan has the latest from doha, qatar, this has created quite the stir, alex. alex: it has, jackie, and people actually will be able to get alcohol in the stadium but only if they're forking up a lot of money, if they are staying in vip or luxury suits, everyone in the stadium will only be able to drink nonalcoholic, still that will run you more than $8 and if you're watching the game at onee of the fifa fan zones or
7:48 am
designated hotel bar where drinking is allowed, typical beer will be costing you on average $14. drinking in public here in qatar is illegal, although to host the world cup that rule is supposed to be lifted since the international soccer tournament so often is seen as a month-long party. there's been a lot of criticism about how this was such a last-minute change and critics say that this cast a lot of doubt on other cultural promises made by the government. now the president of fifa fired back at the comments arguing that any criticism in qatar is hypocritical given that other countries have similar pasts. >> i think for what we europeans have been doing in the last 3,000 years around the world we should be apologizing for the next 3,000 years before starting to giver moral lessons. alex: much of the lead-up to
7:49 am
world cup has been overshadowed by the country's ban on same-sex relationships and the working conditions for working building facilities and thousands of people have died building the facilities and the world cup kicks off tomorrow. first match between qatar and ecuador, we are live outside of the fox sports set where people at home will be able to watch all of these games on fox sports. the u.s. will play whales on monday to kick off the games as celebrations begin at home. jackie: limited access but if you have access it's going to cost you. alex hogan, thank you so much for that. coming up, parents are asking why widely used antibiotic is in support supply as more kids are getting sick, plus, a top biden official doubling down when pressed on border security after a court ruling that could make the situation a lot worse.

7:53 am
jackie: a pediatric doctors groups calling on the white house to declare a health emergency as some emergency rooms are being swamped by what some are calling a tridemic, they are talking about a spike in covid, rsv and flu cases at the same time so how serious is this? fox news contributor and family emergency medicine dr. janet. always great to see you. so many people that i know are getting sick. it's not necessarily from covid but it is the flu and other kinds of colds and sinus infections and doctors i've spoken to told me our immune systems are pretty week because we were locked down for so long
7:54 am
and it's taking a lot longer for things to clear everybody's system. your thought on what you're seeing in the field? doctor: you're absolutely right, jackie. when you suppress mother nature, you create what's called an immunity gap, meaning you have reduced immunity to the basic bugs, basic virus and bacteria that we are normally exposed to and our bodies, immune systems are primed and build up defenses when we are exposed to the various viruses and bacteria and it's especially a problem for newborns and infant that is were born in the pandemic or right before the pandemic, we had lockdowns and masking and social distancing so they were not exposed, they did not have the ability to boost their immune systems from the defenses from the natural exposure and that's why they are seeing it for the first time and it's becoming very severe for them. we are seeing a lot of children hospitalized. via lot of patients coming in with could having, wheezing and high fevers and some in
7:55 am
respiratory distress. rsv, could have, cold and run any nose but it's gotten to the point where i've had to hospitalize some of my patients and not just young children and we have tenfold hospitalizationization ten -- hs in seniors. jackie: i want to know more about that and also what your recommendations are for people to stay out of the emergency rooms, flu shot, covid beers that kind of thing? doctor: that's right, the reason why we are seeing so much more infection is number one it's the cold winter holiday months and people are out and about, social activities and rightfully so, we should be doing that but it's important to understand when you go and see your doctor, most of tinfection that is you have are viral and antibiotics do not treat viruses so we are seeing a
7:56 am
shortage of amoxicilin, for example, because of supply chain issues, a decrease of amount of ingredients available to make the antibiotics that we need. common antibiotics that i treat my patients for sinus infection and pneumonia and ear infections and when you take a look at the prescription writing patterns, a lot of the prescriptions up to a third of them are written unnecessarily. so we are overusing them and that can lead to antibiotic resistance and, of course, most of the ingredients are manufactured overseas in india and in china. we need to bring back that manufacturing back to the united states. fortunately company in bristol, tennessee, usa antibiotics recently opened antibiotic plant and they are going to try to help alleviate the shortage that we are seeing but what you can do to help protect yourself in the meantime some very basic steps and, of course, it comes down to handwashing, even kids making sure you are washing your hand, disinfecting, common
