timide commissioner in philadelphia, number two in new york, chief in miami as well, he documented it. i remember the report that he wrote. here are the 5,000 people that are committing disproportionate amounts of crime and if it becomes a revolving door because you have gotten soft then guess what? you will keep having crime. another one that came in during the course of the week. in other words, if someone's politics are anti-gay, anti-semitic, xenophobic, should that act protect them asks joe abrams in conversation with jed ruben feld that i had about whether the civil rights act gets expanded. that would have made a good survey question. he said you've got to be even, apply it evenly. there needs to be parity. otherwise, there is disparity and that needs to be eradicated. i agree with you. what about hate? see you next week. enjoy thanksgiving.

happy morning to you all. it is saturday, november 19. i'm amara walker. >> i'm martin savidge in for boris sanchez. you are in the cnn newsroom. in western new york there are hundreds of dozens of people facing an historic storm as much as six feet of lake-effect snow. the winter storm has been blamed for at least two deaths. >> officials say two people tied after suffering cardiac arrest while shoveling or blowing snow in an area familiar with heavy snowfall. officials are taking no chances. a state of emergency is in place for 11 counties and erie county issued a combination of travel bans and travel advisories to keep people off the roads. despite the ban, authorities have taken calls from drivers in need of rescue. one official says more than 300 citations were issued yesterday for drivers violating that ban. >> the snow has come down very

fast, very wet, very heavy. last night the snow was falling at a rate of two to three inches per hour and as your reporter said, that could make driving very treacherous. visibility very, very low. fortunately, we have a break right now where it's not snowing gi giving our plowing crews the opportunity to get in, plow snow . cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is standing by in the weather center. >> gloria, people are used to heavy snow, but even this by buffalo standards, sorry, we'll go you are

seeing that lake-effect snow. buffalo same thing with water tower. we have seen some of those extremely high amounts are getting a little bit of a break right now. but the thing is once that wind shifts amounts. orchard park 77 inches. you are talking over six nfeet f snow. natural bridge, 72.3. blaze dale and hamburg over

60 inches of snow. you are talking, now you are above the height of most human beings that you are having to now shovel or work around which is why they want the roads to a communities right there along the lake. most of these areas another six to 12 inches of snow. some areas another 20 to 24 inches in the next 24 hours. >> yeah, we are not used to seeing, like, such high numbers when it comes in the investigat into the brutal stabbing of four

university of idaho students. authorities say they were likely asleep before being attacked. some of the victims had defensive wounds indicated a possible struggle. >> the family member of one of the students told inside edition dec that her sister kylie gone cal voice was a fighter. >> there are is so confusing because kayleigh is a strong girl, a fighter. >> police also say that two of the victims used a private party and it's their description to get a ride home the night of the stabbing. previously, investigators believed they had gotten into an uber. the latest now on where the investigation stands. >> reporter: video of three of the university of idaho stabbing

victims posted on a tiktok account shows the roommates pretending to be each other, a glimpse of their friendship this the three-story house weeks before they were brutally murdered. on the night of the murders, ethan chapin and xana kernodle were at the sigma chi fraternity at of the university of idaho. madison and kayleigh visited a sports bar from 10:30 to 1:30 and a food truck around 1:40 a.m. police released a map showing those locations for the first time hoping new leads will break the case. >> we believe that releasing information about the location of the victims throughout the night might generate some information that we can follow up on. >> police say all of the victims were home by 1:45 a.m. their bodies found on the second and third floors of the home. >> is the first floor where the

roommates were sleeping? >> we have not identified that. >> reporter: the biggest question is who killed them and why. there are no suspects. >> we contend this was targeted. we can't divulge the information of why we believe that. that is integral to this investigation. >> reporter: police are clarifying why they are not releasing more information about the victims' roommates at home during the attacks. >> in a case someone may potentially be a victim, they may be a witness or may be a suspect. in this case we don't know what the roommates are exactly at this time. >> reporter: xana kernodle's father says he talk to his daughter the night she died. i heard before we went out and she was fine. they were just hanging out at home. >> reporter: her father too distraught to be interviewed on camera saying he has learned his daughter had defensive wounds showing she fought her attacker. >> bruises and, you know, maybe a knife or whatever, she is a tough kid. whatever she wanted to do, she

could. >> reporter: the county coroner confirmed some of the students had defensive stab wounds to the hands and there were no signs of sexual assault or issue of drugs or alcohol. the victims' friends and co-workers say they just want to honor their memories. >> they just brought light to the room they were in. >> reporter: police say there were no signs of forced entry into the home and now xana kernodle's father telling our affiliate that this order to get inside the house you have to know the door code to get through the front or the sliding glassdoor in the back. so he presumes whoever did this knew how to get inside the home. veronica miracle, cnn, moscow, idaho. >> here is former fbi profiler and cnn contributor candace delonge. she is also the host of killer

psyche, a podcast, and thank you, candace, for joining us on what is really a disturbing story. i have to cask you, i watched a lot of coverage of this coming out of idaho. something just doesn't seem right. and of course beyond the horrific murders of four young people. is that just me or what's your professional perception here? >> no, it's not just you. i think for me but for my background, i would be looking at this and saying, well, the police have to know more than they are saying, and they do. there is reason police don't tell the public everything and a lot of it has to do with down the road when they do develop a suspect, only the killer will know certain things. so that's part of the reason. >> yeah, i get that. i think what i'm struck by i see an official who says the two

surviving roommates, we don't know what floor they were sleeping at the time. it's like days later, surely you have spoken to them and that wasn't an obvious conversation? so i put that down to that is something they know and they wish not to reveal at this time. the defensive wounds -- >> i agree. >> that would suggest, of course, that they awakened to or were aware of what was happening to them, right? >> sure. but just because someone has defensive wounds, which would be on the hands, on this aspect of the arm, that could be a reflexive response when somebody is stabbing you. it doesn't necessarily mean that you fought back. it means you were defending yourself. but it certainly does mean -- i mean, i can't even imagine how gruesome this crime scene would be. of course, one of the things that i have wondered is why kill all four people?

usually in cases where a college girl is murdered in her home or where she is living, she is the very specific target. so the fact that four people -- i could understand the male, the young man being killed because he would be someone that the killer or killers would be concerned, would fight them and prevent them from doing what they wanted. the police do certainly know how this whole thing went down and the fbi is involved. so probably they are getting behavi behavioral science analysis from quantico. >> you are a professional at this. is this a friend? is this a student? is this a homicidal stranger? i mean, what is your expertise telling you about who the

suspect would be? >> ti thought a lot about that. it is the most common thing would be that the individual, the killer, knew and knew one of those people, might have only known them for a couple of hours, maybe knew of them. most times in america, 70% of the time a woman is murdered, she is murdered by someone that she knows and that she was involved with in some way, and 35% of women are killed by someone that they do know. what's strange about this is why all three women? is it possible that a stranger driving by saw these young, they're very, you know, blonde girls walking, laughing, going into that particular house, and he was in murder mode and decided, hmm, i'm -- there is my victim?

but that's possible, but it's improbable. it happens, but it's rare. it is far more likely whoever did this had some knowledge of the victims. and, for example, it could be somebody that just ran into them. i heard you mention in the commentary earlier about possibly an uber driver. well, it's possible, yeah. i would be looking at anybody. by the way, i don't think this is going to become a cold case. i don't think so at all. >> i hope not. for the sake of their families, for the sake of the community, i hope that we find out soon. of course, we want it to be the right person and it not just a person. candace delonge, thank you for your insights and professionalism on such a terrible story. thank you. >> you're welcome. former president trump hits

this time. >> he really was. look, the issue for the justice department is, obviously, these are two investigations that have been well underway. they are intensifying, as you just mentioned. subpoenas going out to people in the trump circles just in the last few days, but you have now a stated, well, a declared candidate in donald trump a few days ago saying he is running a third time for president and the sitting president, joe biden, whose political appointees are running these investigations, these twin investigations, one of them into the classified documents retrieved by the fbi in the search at mar-a-lago and the second one, the one that looks into that -- that is looking into trump and allies' efforts to prevent the transfer of power after the 2020 election. the attorney general stating that for the justice department they need to have a little bit of distance bringing in jack

smith, who is a seasoned lawyer is going to give at least an appearance for the purposes of this investigation that there is no politics involved. and that's what the goal of this appointment is. >> so let me ask you this, evan. the reaction. i think i know this. but the reaction from former president trump and his legal team, what's it been? >> he says he is not going to partake. they are calling it a political stunt. he says he is not going to participate in it. of course, martin and amara, you know that he doesn't really have a choice, right? he is under a criminal investigation in these two investigations and people don't get a choice as to whether they participate or not. and these are very serious investigations and smith is saying that he is going to hit the ground running, these investigations are not going to be delayed because of the appointment. so this is now a serious investigation that is hanging over the candidate for

president. >> evan perez, interesting development. thank you so much for breaking it down for us. appreciate it. so a passing of the torch. speaker nancy pelosi's announcement she will step down from leadership ushers in a new generational change for democrats. >> for me the hour has come for a new generation to lead the democratic caucus that i so deeply respect. and i'm grateful that so many are ready and willing to shoulder this awesome responsibility. >> congressman hakeem jeffries launches a bid to succeed pelosi in what could make him the first black person to lead a party in congress. joining us to share insights is "new york times" congressional correspondent luke broadwater. luke, good morning to you. thank you for being with us this morning. we can't understate, right, nancy pelosi's influence in

america. i mean, she is the most influential lawmaker in american politics or at least among them. we know she is tough as nails. she did quite an effective job at least keeping her party together, including all the different factions. talk to me about just what kind of mark she is going to leave on america and american democracy. >> yeah, nancy pelosi is an historic figure in american politics. there has never been a woman to lead a chamber of congress before she did it and she did it twice. never been someone to do it in the senate. and i think she will still continue to be an influential figure on capitol hill. there is talk of her being sort of a congressperson emeritus where she would have a nice big office op capitol hill, still represent california, but she just won't have the status of just another congressperson. she will be mentoring younger lawmakers, including the new leadership team that's up for a

vote at the end of this month, and really play a large role in guiding the democrats' agenda on capitol hill still and opposing whatever things kevin mccarthy and the companies are trying to accomplish in the next congress. so, yes, she has quite a lengthy list of historic accomplishments, but she is not done yet and i do expect her to play a significant role in the next congress even if she is out of leadership. >> right, she'll for sure apparently have a lot of influence even if it's behind the scenes. we were mentioning congressman hakeem jeffries. what hangs could we expect under his leadership? >> first, it's a big generational change. the first -- the last leadership team was all -- they were all in air 80s. miss pelosi, hoyer, and jim clyburn. this new team, if they are elected at the end of the month,

and it seems like they are garnering the votes to do that, would be in their 40s and 50s. they are a more diverse team. it's the pete aguilar will be the highest ranking latino in congress, hakeem jeffries the first black person to lead one the parties in congress. and in some case i think hakeem jeffries represents a similar model to nancy pelpelosi potenth a younger flavor and a bit more aggressive, you know, famously during impeachment he quoted biggie smalls from his district in brooklyn on the house floor. we could see some new generational moments as we see this new ladwp team for the democrats. >> i want to put up a screen to show tviewers, there are a lot f 70 and 80-year-olds in congress. pelosi is 82. president biden turns 80 tomorrow. mitch mcconnell the same age.

donald trump, who just reannounced or announced his re-election -- not re-election, he will be running in 2024, chuck schumer 71. so a lot of elderly lawmakers. i mean, this generational shift was needed yesterday, wouldn't you say? >> well, that is definitely the feeling of the younger members of congress. you have seen a lot of people leave over the years because they get elected at a younger age, perhaps in their 20s, 30s or 40s, and they serve for a few terms but it doesn't really seem to be a chance for advancement because of the way congress is set up. and it really is run by octogenarians. that's the way the chambers operate. and so we've seen people who felt that they could have been in line for speaker leave congress previously or even run for the senate or do different things because they feet there was no chance for advancement. this is the chance now.

speaker pelosi has, you know, decided to do this, and, frankly, the democrats are doing it pretty seamlessly. this could have been a very, you know, bloody fight for leadership where a new generation tries to take out the old generation and force some very uncomfortable votes and there is a lot of hard feelings. instead, it looks like they are running this pretty smoothly. we haven't seen a lot of public fighting among the democrats and, you know, that's also part of nancy pelosi's legacy where she keeps people together and run things like a tight ship. >> absolutely. luke broadwater, appreciate your time and the conversation. >> thank you. a mass exodus at twitter has many concerned that the social media giant is teetering on the edge of collapse. the emergency action elon musk just took next. for more on the new boss, here's patrick mahomes. incredible - meatballs, fresh mozzarellala and peppero- oh, the meatball's out! i thought he never fumbles. the new subway series. what's youour pick?

we are of course continuing to monitor the severe weather that is slamming into western new york. as much as six feet of snow has fallen in areas around buffalo, new york. the result of lake-effect snow. let's go to cnn's gloria pazmino. people are used to heavy snowfalls without a doubt, but this one is for the history books. >> reporter: that's right. record-breaking snow, record-breaking numbers here. look at just -- i want to show you the amount of accumulation we are seeing here downtown buffalo. you can see these park benches here are completely covered. you can barely see them. i'm just going to walk along the road here as photographer jeff,

who has been keeping me company this whole time, it is cold, it is windy, and that powdery snow is beginning to whip around in the downtown area, really desolate. if you look down the street here, except for that one emergency vehicle, not a soul, a person in sight with the exception of a couple of snowplows that have been making their way around. officials asking residents to keep off the roads. several people had to be rescued overnight. not only they had to be rescued, but some people got tickets for not obeying the ban that is in effect. mayor brown speaking with cnn earlier today said he believes it's going to be at least until early next week until the city begins to feel a little bit back to normal. so, martin, like you said, you know, this area of new york is used to seeing this kind of weather, but it has certainly paralyzed the area. not much going on here.

snow. they are going to have so much cleanup to do over the next couple of days, and, guys, let me tell you, it is getting cold. very cold. >> so sorry. stay strong. try to stay warm. gloria, thank you. go hardcore or quit. elon musk's blunt ultimatum p causing a mass exodus at twitter. >> i don't know why people would find that problem. he has been calling in engineers for an emergency meeting as the social media site faces very uncertain future. of course, adding to the controversy, musk friday evening poll asking twitter users to vote on whether former president trump should be allowed back on the platform. before he bought twitter, musk said that he had planned to reverse trump's ban. >> cnn business writer clare duffy joining us live with more. claire, the hashtag rip rest in

mile and a half. you just saw hundreds of cars that were lined up. i want you to hear from one of the county organizers, one the county elected officials who helps put on this event and two women who were in line who are so grateful. take a listen. >> your salary is purchasing less. inflation has taken an unwelcome guest at the thanksgiving table this year. there will be high food prices. >> i am a single lady and everything, and when i just go to the store for a few things it's almost $100. prices have gone up tremendously. >> inflation, everything is so expensive and this just feels good that the community come out and feull that void to make thanksgiving special for your family and friends. >> reporter: and we saw all walks of life. we saw families with two working parents who are just underemployed right now, can't keep one the costs.

the first woman in line, she was living in her car and this was the food she needed just to get by. am rar a, martin, such a blegs for people before the holiday. within 45 minutes to an hour at all the location they ran out of food. this location had some 400 boxes. they ran out very quickly. >> shows you the need is great. right? >> i love to see it. nadia, you bring this out, the humanity in people. >> for sure. thank you. >> you are so right. i mean, for a lot of cultures, including mine, i am sure yours, food is about love. that's how you love your family. it is costing americans more to put turkey on the table this thanksgiving as we've been talking about, like the price of gas and most everyday items, the cost of some turkey day staples are up. frozen turkey 21%. stuffing 69%. wow. and pie crusts and whipped cream 26%. >> but feeding family and friends doesn't have to take a

bite out of your budget. so the experts tell us. and there are ways that you can save on these must-have items. joining me now is gene, c of her money.com, and host of her money podcast. thank you for joining us this morning, jean. and, you know, of course, there is a lot of leeway and people can substitute some things when it comes to different foods to try to adjust the cost. but turkey is one of those things that you just associate with thanksgiving. is there a way that you can still save if you haven't gotten your turkey yet? >> yeah, absolutely. and you want to get strategic about your shopping this holiday season. first, when it comes to those frozen turkeys, many national supermarkets offer a free frozen turkey if you have been shopping at their store using their app and have acoupelated a certain number of dollars of expenditures over the last

couple of months. so take a look at that. see if you qualify. that's a great way to wipe that big ticket item off the list. another thing that i would suggest is not doing it all yourself. when we invite people for thanksgiving, and i do thanksgiving many years for my family, everybody always says, what do i bring? what can i bring? think wabout that and really us that offer to fill another need at the table. ask somebody to bring mashed potatoes. ask somebody to bring cranberries. ask somebody to bring the green bean casserole or whatever is traditional in your family because if you can spread out the costs among all of the guests, everybody gets to enjoy and it doesn't cost anybody as much. >> if you are calling me and asking what can you bring, i ask you to the bring the turkey. so, you know. >> there you go. >> but in terms of shopping, you know, how can we save money? because of course there is a

bunch of sides that you have to deal with, right? >> there are. and i would get pretty careful about frozen versus fresh. there is some things where buying frozen actually will shave about 50% off the price. a lot of vegetables fall into that category. green beans, for example. with potatoes, it's the opposite. if you are buying frozen, you are buying processed, you are paying for more. buying just the plain potatoes and cooking them yourself is going to save you about 50%. and just make sure that when you are looking at all of those different side dishes, you shop your pantry first. we often go into the supermarket thinking we need ingredients that we already have either in our freezer or our pantry. make sure that you are not double buying them. >> jean, that's great advice. so true. we tend to make up the list and forget to look at what we have got. thank you so much for that.

we are one day before the kickoff the world cup and this year's world cup in qatar has drawn a lot of criticism from lgbtq advocates, concern about the country's treatment of gay people to outrage over the last-minute decision to ban beer sales at the event.

the fifa president isn't backing down. >> i think personally if for three hours a day you cannot drink a beer, you will survive. >> do you think you could? >> i wonder if they had non-alcoholic beer. amanda davis found out the answer for that. she is live in qatar for us. i got to say that press conference, it was bizarre. just really was. >> reporter: bizarre, explosive. i think it's fair to say a good five hours on people are still trying to digest one of the most controversial fifa press conferences ever ahead of this, the most controversial world cup ever. it was really jaw-dropping at

times with the president really hitting back at the criticism in the build-up to this tournament. what he's called the double standards of the west. the profoundly unjust criticism against the treatment of migrant workers here in qatar, so widely documented by human rights groups. the treatment of members of the lgbtq+ community and many themselves. have a listen to another part of what he had to say. >> i think for what we europeans have been to go in the last 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologizing for the next 3,000 years before starting to give moral lessons. this moral lesson giving, one-sided, it's just hypocrisy.

>> reporter: remember, this is the man who just a couple of weeks ago sent a letter to the national association of every team playing at this world cup essentially saying stick to politics, stick to football, i should say, let's not get involved in the politics and the morality. today his speech that went on for nearly an hour, a real monologue, has been criticized by human rights groups who have called it crass. and the president of the norweigian fa club, she described it as dangerous. remember, this, the man who it was announced yesterday, is standing unopposed for another term as president. >> wow. amanda davis, thank you very much. >> thank goodness we don't have time to give commentary. thank you for watching and being with us and thank you so much for joining us, martin. much more ahead. fredricka whitfield is up next. >> first, a preview of the cnn
