for the juneteenth holiholiday, the biden administration and officials around it are not taking the weekend off. yesterday, i spoke with energy secretary jennifer granholm who projected optimism despite economic challenges. the president is really focused on preventing these inflationary increases to the extent he can, inflation is happening globally, recession is in the inevitable, the president really wants to have a steady and stable recovery. but, of course, one of the biggest pieces of these infla inflationary increases we re seeing is the price of fuel. the growing number of experts disagree with that assessment. 44% of economists surveyed by the wall street journal now believe a recession is likely within the next 12 months. that is as the federal reserve raises interest rates, a move that should cool inflation at the risk of also hurting economic growth. among the top concerns when it comes to inflation, those record high gas prices. the white house says it is l
another one. another mass shooting. look at this video. you can see police in the distance. they are running toward the scene with guns drawn. emergency vehicles racing as other officers take long guns out of their trunks. police say that they were on the scene within three minutes of the first call, arriving while the shooting was still going on. the officers that did arrive were hearing shots in the building and that s what directed them to the second floor. the president of the united states, joe biden, has been briefed on this shooting and fact is, america is living in fear of gun violence. no place is safe. not hospitals, schools, groes stores, cononcerts, graduations nightclub, office, places of worship, on and on and on. we have news tonight on the investigation of what police did and did not do while a gunman was still inside that elementary school in uvalde where 19 children and two of their children died. the mayor telling the washington post what he called a ne
a local doctor who delivered two of the 19 murdered children spoke out reflecting on this profound loss. those lives are gone and we ll never know what they could have done for the world and their families. it will never be the same. you know, we re not innocent anymore. also this morning, in an exclusive interview with savannah guthrie, she spoke to an off duty border patrol agent who rushed to the scene with only his barber s shotgun to rescue his daughter trapped inside the school. what was that moment like when you saw your daughter? oh, when i saw my daughter, it was a big relief. yeah. and after she got to safety, you continued to help? oh, yeah. i saw all her friends. i coach little league baseball as well, always there helping out. all her friends, i could see their faces. half of them fine, the other ones panicking, crying, trying to make sure that they weren t falling and delaying the process. just trying to keep them as calm as i could. what a frighte
children over about an hour? where was law enforcement? those are just fair questions, though they are. they are essential questions. if you want to prevent similar atrocities, you need details, you ve got to find out what exact we happened. if this is a well-known concept. every time a commercial airliner crashes in this country federal investigators painstakingly recruit the final moments of the flight. not because they are ghoulish. want to know what caused it. if and that s the main reason that air travel is so safe. after action reports work. yet somehow our leaders rarely respond as rationally to violent crime, almost never. a mass shooting is just too tempting a moment for them to demagogue. at the public is often grieving and then shock, so it s the perfect moment for the usual opportunists to leap forward and cast blame on the political opponents, to seize all the power they can while the country is too traumatized to notice. if you almost hear anyone in washington a
i think that they should have secured that door. are you saying your brother went inside and stayed inside and did not retreat as some have suggested? right. they did not retreat until the shooter was down. they were in there the entire time. a bit of hindsight where i m sitting now, another it was a right decision. there s no ex-use for that. again, i wasn t there. i m telling you from what we know, we believe there should have been an entry as soon as you can. when there s an active shooter, the rules change. neil: the rules didn t change that fateful day this week when 19 students were gunned down and two adults with them. welcome. i m neil cavuto, this is your world. piecing together these days after a school attack. growing questions as to what authorities could have done. even the top most of those authorities acknowledging mistakes were made and in the heat of the moment, they lost the opportunity to seize and correct the moment. now questions from families w
