>> todd: thanksgiving dinner set to be most expensive in history this year as inflation slashes your buying power and labor and supply chain shortages hit businesses. you are watching "fox and friends first" on tuesday morning, i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. biden administration says a number of factors like bird flu outbreak, drought and the war in ukraine affected the prices and this is not the first time biden blamed putin for what is happening here at home.

>> president biden: 70% of increase in prices in march came from putin's price hike in gasoline, we couldn't turn a blind eye to putin's murderous ways, the prices wouldn't have spiked the way they have. >> i was able to bring gasoline down, it is inches up because of what the russians and saudis just did. >> carley: what the russians and saudis just did. looking at the numbers of costs of thanksgiving. turkey prices up 21%, stuffing mix up 69%, frozen pie crust up 26%, whipped cream 26%, frozen peas up and rolls up 22%. now the biden administration is blaming bird flu, blaming the russian war on ukraine because ukraine is the one of the world's top agriculture producers. that is only part of the story. the other part is inflation and gas prices, which began to

crease almost immediately after president biden took office. when the president entered office inflation was 1.4% and now the start of the war in ukraine, 7.5%, how do you explain that piece of the pie? >> todd: literally speaking of thanksgiving. it is everybody's thanksgiving. rhetorical your. you knew this was coming, they blame russia for every problem they don't have an answer for, they caused it, not russia. on indirect tangential way, some things happening in ukraine are impanthingis proos, rest of the inflation problem you caused. prices were rising well before russia invaded ukraine. the administration doesn't say how russia invasion of ukraine impacted prices. fox news reached out and explain

how. they haven't gotten back to us to explain that link. the fact of the matter is people are suffering this holiday season, people are struggling and many instances, they have to streamline their holiday because of action from the biden administration. >> carley: single largest contributor is price of diesel, $5.28 and last year it was $3.64, the united states is producing less oil than in 2018. rather than crease our supply, we have more than any country in the world, we're turning to saudi arabia, asking opec to increase our supplies and president biden going to u.n. and asking countries to pay reparations and doing nothing to get diesel prices down. it is affecting farmers and in effect we are all paying for the president's climate policies and paying at our thanksgiving tables, as well. >> todd: we spoke with a turkey

farmer with his challenges, he and his customers are facing this year. >> we are working harder than ever, we can't find labor we get for this crunch time. we are working harder than normal and will take home a smaller paycheck. cost increases were more than we were passing on to customers and price increase on turkey fees. sales of other items, eggnog and artisan cheeses and other things we sell in our store, those sales are down compared to prior years. folks are coming and getting traditional turkey issue but not buying as much other stuff. >> todd: mentioned a couple key things, he is making a less profit than in years past and that impacts the entire economy. that is a harbinger of bad recession, that is one of the first signs and you see the labor market. he is having trouble getting

people, if we go to a tough labor market, that will change, it may be too late to right the ship. >> carley: biden administration blaming russia for cost of thanksgiving and why the heck would they not when you consider the results, midterm election, no red wave. the president is i saing, people love me and my message, we'll keep doing that, even though 75% of the american people think the economy is going in the wrong direction and republicans received 5 to 6 million more votes because there was no wave. the president said he will stick to what he's doing and we can see it unfold. >> todd: the reason they didn't lose the midterm, young people came out to vote because they got bribed on student loan and turns out that will die in the courts. american people, there you have it. switch to something positive, shall we? did you see this? fox news media kicking off christmas season with all-american christmas tree

lighting last night on the fox square. >> five, four, three, two, one. >> todd: first responders from the nypd helped "the five," light up the all american christmas tree light up in front of live studio aubdience last night. alongside susan scott and jay wallace and you might recognize one familiar face there, i'm there with nicole and steve doocy photo bombing us. the weather was nice and crisp, giving you that wintery feel, we are in the throws of fall. nice to see people out and happy in new york city. it is what you are supposed to do this time of year, symbol of the season. there is a live shot, all adorned --

>> carley: idaho police are expanding the crime scene at the site where four students were murdered nine days ago. >> todd: brooke singman has all the details. >> brooke: loved ones gathering to remember the first victim of last week's murders in idaho. ethan chapin was just 20 years old, remembered as triplet,

devoted friend and brother. his brothers also attend university of idaho. they were so close. yesterday the community joined in his home state of washington for a memorial service. ethan's mother fighting back tears as she thanked the community for their support. >> we extend gratitude, here to honor the life and legacy of our son and brother, ethan chapin, one of the most incredible people you will ever know. >> carley: back in idaho, authorities are working to find the person responsible for the senseless murders of ethan, kaylee goncalves, madison and xana. a parking lot is blocked off this morning by police tape. some victims fought back. the 911 call came from inside the house from a roommate a cell phone. multiple people spoke on the

phone during the call. two surviving female roommates have been cleared as suspects, as well as the man in the photo with kaylie and madison. the parking lot and forested areas are now considered to be part of the crime scene. it is hopeful that d.n.a. testing will give answers. >> d.n.a. can be gotten by touch d.n.a. if a person is not wearing gloves or by the person cutting himself on the bloody knife that he's stabbing people with or by the fingernail scraping from the persons who are receiving defensive wounds. >> brooke: authorities are addressing reports of a neighbor's dog that was killed a few weeks before the murder. detectiveses are aware of incident of a report of a skinned dog and determined it is

related to this incident. police say they have received 700 tips and are combing through them. >> carley: bring in retired connecticut cop and former homicide detective brian foley. you feel this was not a random attack, you say the killer seemed to know how to get around the house. can you expound on that? >> todd: having trouble there. >> carley: yeah. -- who had that code prior -- >> carley: i think we're going to get that audio worked out with brian, we want his perspective. here is what we know now. police believe the same murder weapon was used to kill all four students. local businesses have been contacted to determine if a fixed blade knife was recently purchased. 38 interviews have been

conducted with people who may have information about the murders, 38. been 600 tips pouring in, 38 interviews with people who may have information about the murders. two surviving roommates and a driver who drove two of the victims home are not considered suspects. police are ruling people out, the question is who did this. think back to the families, nine days in, think about moms and dads of four beautiful young people and they were murdered so brutally and they are still no answers as to why or who did this. just how horrific is that. >> todd: the time that has elapsed and resources devoted to this. the fbi is involved, why is it taking so long to find the killer or killer, especially in light of the killer or killers were extremely sloppy in covering up the evidence.

speaking of the fbi, we have former fbi chris swecker on earlier to talk about the difficulty of cracking this case, take a listen. >> 90 interviews, no one surfaced as having motive or means or capability of doing that, this may have been random or target of opportunity, which are the hardest crimes to solve. every killer leaves something at the scene and takes something with them and that is where forensics, comes in. if you rely on forensics, exclusively, you have no leads. >> todd: focus on the 911 call. i think this is really intriguing, if you were calling 911 on that scene, why lead with they are unconscious and not they have been stabbed to death and the scene is really, really bloody. heard martha maccallum raise this same points, it is a question i think we need answers to before we start figuring out

and unravelling what else happened. >> the other thing chris swecker has been saying, police are calling this a other tatargeted attack. somebody may have been stalking one of these people or were at the same bar with one of them possibly and followed them home. that could be the possibility, we think of targeting, we think they knew the person in advance, that could be true or it could be the latter and maybe even one of the four, or none of them knew this person in advance. other people, like brian foley said it could be somebody they knew before this crime went down because it seemed like they knew the lay of the land of the house. conflicting theories because we just don't know what happened yet. people are saying why is it taking so long for police to get answers? it has been nine days, when there is such a focus and public

interest on a crime nine days seems like a really long time when in the grand scheme of things, it is a little over a week and investigators doing all they can to piece this thing together. >> todd: right, the families want answers, we have families and we do stories from a 30,000 foot view and parse the facts in this true crime fashion. it is important to remember, these are families that lost their children, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and we saw the mom in that piece, so heartbroken. to your point about the ability of -- we have foley? let's bring in brian foley, great to have you back. apologize for losing you for a moment. recap what your thoughts are on this crime. >> so a lot of things out of the gate. looking at a homicide and police communicate and want to convey

public confidence and the public is safe. the fact they are saying people need to be vigilant and lock their doors tells me they know more than they know. i know they ruled out it is canine murder a month ago. police will say anything they can to throw off the killer. they are tracking a killer and playing chess, not checkers, they will not reveal -- to reveal the two are connected would not benefit their investigation in any way. the fact they are saying this to the general public is really chilling. you have that thing happen with the canine, four people here, that case is so unique, knife murders are typically crimes of passion, very noisy fights, usually a struggle. there are some defense wounds, to be able to do that to four people so quietly and not disturb two other people in the

house, this shows premeditation. >> carley: interesting what you are saying about the dog, it was pretty big headline when we found out this dog was skinned, murdered and killed and skinned in the same neighborhood a few weeks ago. the owners are wondering if there is a connection, police came out yesterday and said there wasn't, you are suggesting there still might be. >> yes, the police have zero to gain by saying that the two are connected, to say that publicly, that would tell the killer they are on to them, if it is the same person. i love the idea of a cell tower dump here. it is usually exogent circumstances and usually can show you big process, ittic tas a warrants, the tower will tell you who was in that location at that exact time and with two crimes, you might be able to

look for a match in the two areas with the dog and that. look, maybe that is not the case, either way, you have surveilled, premeditated type of homicide here done in quiet enough manner that no one else is woken up. d.n.a. will be key here. the fact there is defense wounds is interesting, that is where you hope there is struggle, exchange of d.n.a. somewhere, under the fingernails, the scrapings you see, knife crimes are very emotional and vileents, almost always typically in a knife or homicide, the victim is known to the suspect. this is a unique set of circumstances, there wasn't as far as we know, there wasn't screaming or yelling you typically hear, odd no one else was woken up and showed the person knew how to maneuver the building.

>> carley: brian foley, thank you very much. turning to this, disney is bringing back bob eger to help the company shake off money troubles. >> todd: is this a sign disney regrets their wildly agenda? one mom will tell us if this is too little, too late.

>> janice: good morning, everyone. the calm before the storm. take a look at temperatures. we're warming up because this time yesterday we were dealing with the teens and 20s and frigid wind chills. ahead of the next storm system, we will warm up, we have showers and thunderstorms along the gulf coast and east coast of florida. big system will move in today for the northwest. there is the forecast, good temperatures this time of year.

50s on the map, 60'ses. there is the forecast today. things will change tomorrow and thanksgiving thursday, friday and saturday. big storm dives in from the northwest across the rockies and expands across mississippi river valley on thursday and this is on friday. we have snow for parts of new mexico toward texas panhandle and spreading to southeast and parts of tennessee river valley on saturday, if you are traveling in this area, up toward the great lakes, interior northeast and northeast on sunday, that is going to put crimp in your know plas. once you have one area of delay, that is a ripple effect. be aware, here is forecast for wednesday evening. good news for the macy's thanksgiving day parade, nice forecast and things change saturday and sunday.

home for the holiday forecast, foxweather.com has details. over to you. >> carley: mike pompeo criticizing randi weingarten with this scathing rebuke, most dangerous person in the world is randi weingarten, it is not a close call when you ask who is likely to take this republic down, it is teacher's union and filth they are teaching kids and they don't know math or reading or writing. randi weingarten says i know mike pompeo is running for president and i don't know if to characterize his characterization as ridiculous or dangerous. >> todd: retired disney bob woodward iger is back, replacing bob, who placed criticism for pushing woke policies and losing money. >> carley: a single mom running

for republican state senate joins us now, she takes her daughter to disney every year. big shakeup, what do you think it will look like with iger back in charge? >> it is great to be with you, there are just two sides of the same coin and we all know it. last year they started pushing this woke doctrination and pushing back against ron desantis, the american people spoke loudly and clearly. whether in virginia or florida, parents stood up, that is not what we want. i have been a big fan of disney, my daughter and i love the park and watching disney movies, i shouldn't be afraid to let my daughter sit and watch a disney movie and have to preview it first pause i'm worried about the kind of indoctrination they are pushing on my child and that is why disney issil faing parents and families. >> todd: our parents didn't have

to do that with little mermaid and lion king, you just enjoyed it. now to your point, you need to watch it. bob iger says we will implement changes within the company, it is my intent to restructure m way that honors and upon ares creativity as heart and soul of who we are. what does disney do to maintain and/or wins back the business of people it has alienated over the last couple years? >> they really need to look at what happened in the rebuke from inner pas in the past year at ballot box and in parks and plummeting sales. reality is inner pas like myself want to be able to take their children to disney and watch movies where they experience fairy tails and princes and prinszesses, not woke ideology and a pushed agenda.

i hope they learn from that rebuke and change. as we have seen, like i said, chapik and iger are two sides of the same coin, i hope they did sincerely listen to us, their family-friendly content has been the backbone of disney for 100 years, you would think that is something they would listen to. we'll see. our pocketbooks and consumers will make the difference, they will feel it if they don't listen to us. >> carley: thank you for joining us. failed crypto company ftx heads to bankruptcy court today. >> todd: we have a look inside the ceo's multi million dollar bahamas lifestyle. his customers wonder where the money went? that mansion is one place it went. cheryl casone is here next to break it down for you.

>> carley: managers expected to detail events leading to the company's collapse. >> todd: cheryl casone has more. >> cheryl: this is coming as we're learning about what is

happening with regard to where the money might have gone. in the bahamas, sam bankman-fried, 40 million penthouse in albany, 60 million plot, 52-foot yacht. he gave himself a $1 billion loan, they were spending $10,000 a day on food for this house full of executives, i can't say that with a straight face at this point and the house is for sale. the fraud, the absolute lack of control of this thing is absolutely i think devastating. you have a class-action lawsuit filed against the golden state warriors. this guy lost $750 grand at ftx and he's suing the warriors because they partnered with ftx, this is how it will go like an octopus. you have the center, ftx. you will see lawsuit, lawsuit,

filing, investigations, lawsuit, lawsuit. what can they recover? that is the problem. we need to be real about this. >> carley: lawsuits are desperate people, i need my money back and i will try to go after anybody to get it. who knows if they'll be able to. president biden is traveling to nantucket today, rail road strike is probably on his mind. >> cheryl: might be hitting december 9, this is where it matters, a third of u.s. freight is, i mean, potentially $2 billion in economic losses, freight goes by rail. food, car parts, fuel, things that we need, food and fuel. the white house, remember president biden had this wrapped up with a bow, listen to what white house secretary karine jean-pierre had to say. >> president remains focused on protecting american families, farms, businesses, by avoiding a rule shutdown and urge both sides to finish their work in

good faith and avoid even the threat of a shutdown. our team is preparing and plans for all possible outcomes, even as we continue to work to avert a shutdown. >> cheryl: the union president says to be clear remaining unions do not accept agreement, congress should be prepared to act. >> todd: we've been talking about this on maria's show for a while, spiking of the football by biden administration on the union stuff way premature and flagging this uniknowioissue rail strike was still a possibility and that is coming back to bite the biden administration right now. >> cheryl: it is, you can't say, we have a deal, it was negotiated. it isn't. you are going to nantucket, you monitor that. >> todd: the energy problem and a new energy roadmap for republicans and house to potentially -- >> cheryl: this is interesting because, you know, we can come up with solutions or start

fighting and investigating everybody in washington, i don't know, i'm at the point figuring out solutions. power of the future says since start of his presidency biden involved in trns about climate exchange at the expense of workers and consumers, result of the green assault on american energy have been disastrous. here are ideas here. repeal the net gas tax and oil and gas leasing moratorium, domestic production, the california wave, the war on coal, the list goes on and on. this is one way to deal with the energy crisis, now you talk to larry barrons earlier, i thought his comments about china, were interesting. mreets play that. >> look at china, that is solar panels that joe biden wants to buy are made and they do it

using fossil fuels. they point fingers at the world saying weaken your sales by following this agenda they do not follow themselves. >> cheryl: we continue to empower china. >> carley: that list is great and will need a president to go along with it. they put it out and maybe it can get done in part now -- >> cheryl: house controls the purse strings. >> todd: i think we can do both, control the energy stuff and have gz haves, 535 people in congress with full of sta, they can walk and chew gum. >> carley: i have spoken. >> todd: soccer, fifa world cup finishing crucial in 1-1 draw wales. united

united states, we needed to win this one, we tied, okay, u.s., back in action on friday for pivotal grudge match against england at 1 p.m. need to win that one to advance. >> carley: one to watch for. listen to this quote, we don't know if they have guns or not, that is what el paso residents say about migrantses overrunning their neighborhoods. >> todd: kevin mccarthy is heading to the border, what tomi lahren hopes to see from republicans today. sometimes it's just inevitable. but if you're over 50 or live with a chronic condition, untreated covid could be deadly. got covid symptoms? get tested and get treated right away. it can't wait.

>> carley: 1619 project author nicole hannah jones mocking a concerned new york city mother who shared her experience riding the subway saying i paid $2.75 to be in a subway car with a wild and aggressive man threatening to hit his partner. this is mayor kathy hochul's new york city and nicole hannah jones replies this was unheard of until two years ago. we spoke to the mom last hour, who had this to say. >> i don't know if she takes the subway or been on the subway

recently, thousands of new yorkers would agree my ride was probably typical of ones they have everyday. people say it must have been worse in the '80'ses. i took the subway through the '80'ses and it didn't feel that bad, i was able to take naps and do homework on the trains and now when i step on the train, i'm on high alert, looking out for myself and making sure my space is not going to be unsafe for myself or my fellow passengers. >> carley: nicole hannah jones criticized the mom, not the guy threatening to hit his girlfriend. crime in the big apple up 41% from last year. >> todd: kevin mccarthy leading a group of republicans to el paso, meeting with border agents first hand. >> carley: title 42 is set to

end, city residentses are sounds the alarm. we don't know if they are going to break into our house, we don't confront them, we don't know if they have guns or knives. tomi lahren joins us now. you hear from a concerned resident, concerns valid and kevin mccarthy will bring republicans to the border. republicans have done this before, now they control the house, do you expect anything to change when it comes to the border? >> tomi: i am cautiously optimistic, this is a great start to see it. i am disappointed how democrats campaigned on border security, they did not do enough. they relied on voters to watch bill melugin on fox news. republicans failed to make this an issue, should have been sending down delegations for

months, if not years, to showcase what is happening. residents are largely left defenseless and vulnerable, we have border state governors that are standing up and have been for quite sometime. this issue is something republicans have been ignoring for far too long and a lot of voters didn't believe they would do anything about it. donald trump had a clear message in 2016 and 2017 and that was build the wall, remain in mexico, secure the border at any cost. we have zero tolerance, we didn't hear republicans with that stance. look at greg abbott in texas and ron desantis in florida, being bold at the border works if you are bold enough to do so. >> todd: biden administration, go over key things, we don't know if they will break down in our houses. think about being on the border

and we don't know. we don't confront them, we don't know if they have knives or guns. how come it is acceptable to biden administration that american citizens are living in fear in their own homes of being invaded daily? >> tomi: biden administration believes if they ignore it is issue, it will go away and the residents are suffering. i've been down to the border and border patrol is doing the best they can, they are understaffed and overworked and being glorified babysitters and not able to protect citizens they were once able to protect. you have land owners, ranchers and residents left to deal with the problems and migrants are embolden. they get a free pass in the united states of america and no one will stop them. they are embolden and believe

they have no consequences and they are largely right. biden administration will not do anything know with the next two years, governors need to do something, local officials need to do something, start at home, fix the problem and maybe save the rest of us. >> carley: kevin mccarthy says they will address border security and threatening subpoenas, action can be taken, see how far that action takes us. tomi, ink thats for joining us. >> todd: cbs confirming the hunter biden laptop story is real two years later, way to strike while the irons hot. joe concha will discuss that. >> brian: carley and todd, what is coming up in 10 minutes, first we begin with gas prices, those are going up. thanksgiving dinner, the new surging cost of the biden administration is blaming on of course russia as the president

kicks off his holiday festivities in nan tucket, i guess living for free and renting a place. plus, sharman the god is speaking out on white house odds calling joe biden nomination sad, safe bet for democrats. he says look out for ron desantis. we'll find out what else is on his show and congressman kat cammack will be live and will cain will break down the world cup like only a guy from texas can, whose kids play soccer, leo terl and jeff dunham has a new show he will preview for us first. america's number one cable news show, i'll go to break and urge you to gradually get dressed. thanksgiving two days away, then you can make your own decision.

. >> cr nt news confirming the hunter biden story is real after dismissing the "new york post" reporting for over two years. >> i think it's one of the biggest scandals i have ever seen and you don't cover it. >> because. >> you want to talk about. >> because it can't be verified i'm telling. >> you you talk about insignificant things. >> i'm telling. >> of course it can be verified. excuse me they found the laptop. >> it can't be verified. >> we commissioned an independent forensic review to determine its authenticity. >> just the shear volume of what we are dealing with, it would be difficult, if not impossible to fabricate. >> joining us now is the author of "c'mon man" joe concha. as see you in the monitor you see that smirk as you hear that explanation there. doesn't cbs look absolutely ridiculous for confirming the hunter biden laptop story so late in the game? >> i mean, what's that line by

detective john mcclain you are a movie guy, right, played by the great bruce willis police officer who shows up in the plaza. >> welcome to the party. >> the party, pal. pal, the best part of it. we're talking about 25 month later and cbs is talking about this like they have breaking news that suddenly came off the wire. i'm so glad you played that lesley stahl clip in october of 2020 she says it can't be verified. you will sit here now, cbs, and tell me that you even remotely attempted to verify the contents of that laptop back then or did you just find it easy just to peddle what everybody else was which was it was russian disinformation. now it follows a pattern, todd and carley. "new york times," "the washington post," cnn, only getting around to verifying the damning contents of that laptop, many, many months later. after joe biden is in the oval office. so, this is where we are at at this point. and i have a feeling that this

is the way hearings into hunter biden and a that laptop are going to go once republicans take back congress. it's going to be dismissed. it's going to be mocked in the same way that it was in october of 2020ing. >> carley: associated press caught playing defense for the biden administration. the original a.p. quote says joe biden has said he has never spoken to his son about his foreign business and nothing the republicans have put forth suggests otherwise. so, now the quote says or ends with saying there is no indication that the federal investigation involves the president, jonathan turley it peeled this together and says app. creates a problem rather than facts the a.p. shields the president does. seem that way even though they are making a correction. they are still trying to finagle, figure out a way to try to distance the president from his son. >> that's the key quote, carley, the second one that you read after the first one got mocked

out of existence for saying that there is nothing republicans have put forth suggest that the president ever discussed this with his son. you know, he says he didn't so we have to believe him. we are at 31 flavors of stupid territory now. not only is joe biden discussed in those emails from that laptop from hell, but the grand jury, as jonathan points out, has heard testimony that the big guy in those emails, who allegedly received a 10% kickback on dealings in china and other countries is joe biden. meaning that if true, we have a sitting president who could be compromised by our biggest adversary and they explain why he went so soft on china during his visit to the g-0 last week. so, look. will what we're at now at this point, as far as this laptop, you either believe that the contents are real and republicans and conservatives will go with that, it's kevin mccarthy's job now to put out a case where independents and even democrats say you know what? this is a whole ball of wrong

and we need to pay attention to this. the media isn't going to help him do that he has to do that on his own as far as this goes looking forward. >> i find the time of guilty cbs story interesting not after one but two elections. they wait until after this midterm. >> why not wait until after 2024. joe concha. >> thank you. >> carley: all right.
