and my dad, my wife, two shrinks and carly. >> before you were pregnant, better when you could have a glass of wine. then things got candid. >> you gave away your list. cat's rule is the best list, don't give away -- >> we are out of time. dvr g the show tomorrow, friday, now here is "america reports." >> john: kayleigh, thank you, a awaiting word from police in idaho, approaching two full weeks, police will speak with an update on the mysterious case where any real answers have been slow to come. what can we expect to hear, any closer to finding any suspects and where is the murder weapon? we will ask former fbi

investigator bill daley and hear from a city councilmember from the tiny community now frozen in fear, coming up. >> john: senseless act of violence rocking a virginia community right before the thanksgiving holiday. a walmart manager calling his staff into a break room for a meeting and then gunning them down one by one. that's the latest word from police after the latest shooting rampage to stun an american city. hello, i'm john roberts in washington. nice to see you. >> i'm in for sandra smith. customers were shopping for their thanksgiving items, the shooter killed six people, injured four others, who were taken to local hospitals. we are expecting an update on their condition from hospital officials at any moment now. >> john: police have not revealed the gunman's identity other than to confirm he was a

manager at the walmart. griff jenkins is live on the scene in chesapeake, virginia with the latest. hi, griff. >> good afternoon, john. that's right. at least six families are mourning today rather than preparing to celebrate at the thanksgiving table tomorrow because this walmart employee, the walmart behind me walked into the break room and opened gunfire before turning the gun on himself. we are told the gun was a pistol. there is more questions than answers right now from authorities but did get an update this morning from the police chief. here is a look what he had to say. >> i don't know why, you know, whether or not they are having trouble figuring out who next of kin are and where they are. we didn't know at this time. investigation is still ongoing, no clear motive at this time. >> well, we can tell you the suspect's name, walmart has just confirmed, john, to us here at fox news, that the alleged shooter identified as an

individual named andre bing. overnight team lead and employed with us since 2010. got a timeline a little bit, too, from the police chief on how it all went down. 10:12:00 p.m. last night, the 911 call came into dispatch. two minutes later at 10:14, 2 officers arrived, then they enter the walmart. by 11:20 they had secured the area and located mr. bing's deceased body. meanwhile, we can show you some video of a memorial that's erupted, been erected here in the parking lot, balloons, loved ones coming out, paying their respects. i spoke to a family of one of the victims in the hospital that we are waiting for an update, they told us that that victim is stable but they are very distraught, so much so they could not go on camera with us. but again, the news breaking just moments before i went on

the air with you, walmart confirming to fox news the individual's name is andre bing and was an associate here at the walmart in chesapeake behind me. we hope to get more updates from law enforcement officials as well. and you have a federal response as well. fbi and atf are behind me on scene working this investigation. john, back to you. >> john: griff, tragically update from the hospital as well, apparently two more of those people who were injured in the massacre last night have passed away. so that brings the total number of people killed to eight. griff, good to see you, thanks for the update. we'll hear back from you a little later on. >> meanwhile, the suspect in the colorado springs shooting that killed five people on saturday night is said to appear in court today remotely from jail. 22-year-old anderson lee aldrich is accused of opening fire inside an lgbtq nightclub. the suspect whose lawyers say is

non-binary is charged with five counts of first-degree murder and five charges of committing a bias motivated crime causing bodily injury. >> john: house minority leader kevin mccarthy issuing an ultimatum to alejandro mayorkas, warning that he can expect to be impeached if he does not resign. as republicans will use the majority to investigate the biden administration on several fronts, including the border crisis. michael waltz serves on the armed services committee and former green beret and joins us now. let's play back what was said regarding the dhs secretary. >> our country may never recover from secretary mayorkas dereliction of duty. this is why today i am calling

on the secretary to resign. the secretary mayorkas does not resign, house republicans will investigate every order, every action, and every failure will determine whether we can begin impeachment inquiry. >> john: so slim to none chance mayorkas will resign. >> unfortunately. >> john: do republicans have the stomach to begin impeachment proceedings against him. >> i think we will get to the bottom of things. he stood at the white house podium and new our border patrol agents had not whipped people, he knew the truth and yet let the brave agents get demonized, what responsibility does he have for the fentanyl across the border and the deaths as a result of it, the deaths of migrants that we have seen at record numbers, the human

trafficking that's going on, 40% of girls are sexual assaulted or sold into trafficking. what responsibility does mayorkas have for that, and has he misled the congress by repeatedly saying that the border is secure. i think those are fair questions asked. we should get to the bottom of it. voters are demanding it and find there was negligence, we find there was criminal misdeeds, i could see us moving towards impeachment. >> john: do you not just think he was carrying out the orders of his bos? >> that's what we want to get to the bottom of, and like afghanistan, the military recommended one thing and biden did the other. >> john: get to that in just a second. i was on with brian kilmeade and played sound from 13 to 16 years ago which demonstrates just how far democrats have moved on the illegal immigration process. listen here to chuck schumer in 2009, and then then senate barack obama in 2006. >> construction of a 630 mile

border fence or 630 miles of border fence that create a significant barrier to illegal immigration on our southern land border, illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. >> the bill before us will certainly do some good. it will authorize some badly needed funding for better fences and better security along our borders, and that should help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration in this country. >> john: the flashback is telling and shows how far they have moved. >> add president bill clinton to that list, pelosi to that list, this was a bipartisan issue because they were hearing what we are still hearing and i think they are, too, from veterans who are not getting the services that they need, our hospitals, our roads, our bridges, our schools, all of those services are stretched thin and american citizens who are paying into the system are not getting what they serve and yet we are going to pile 2 million people a year on

top of that? so yes, this is part of the progressive takeover of the democrat party on what was a bipartisan issue. >> john: i tweeted out today the number of people who have come into the country illegally in the last two years equivalent to the entire population of either ireland or new zealand coming here. it's extraordinary. >> and we have two years to go. >> john: come back to investigations. what house gop investigators and committee members are promising. investigations of joe and hunter biden, mayorkas, withdrawal from afghanistan, the origins of covid, just to start. do you support all of those as your first orders of business? >> yeah, i do. origin of covid, let's just take that one. the last three pandemics have come from china. each one has been exponentially more deadly than the last. we know, for example, from mike pompeo who declassified some things right before he left that the chinese military was at the wuhan lab. that has to be the biggest

coincidence in world history. how can we prevent the next one, how can we hold the ccp accountable if we don't get to the bottom of what happened. i'm glad fauci is retiring, he's going to be busy and you know, afghanistan near and dear to my heart, those 13 gold star families deserve answers, they have not gotten them, their grief is one thing but their rage is another and we are absolutely going to get to the bottom of it. we know general milley presented a classified policy memo describing what would happen if biden carried this out. i want that memo, the american people need to know what the military recommended, what the intelligence community recommended and then what the president ignored and did anyway to disastrous results. >> john: lots to watch for as of january 3rd. congressman, happy thanksgiving, thank you for joining us. safe travels down to florida. >> yeah, thanks. >> it is supposed to be the busiest travel day of the year and airports are packed to the

gills, despite a spike in airfare costs. aaa expects 4.5 million americans to fly this holiday weekend. fox business's hillary vaughn is live at reagan national, keeping an eye on the hustle. hillary. >> a lot of travelers showed up today expecting the worst and that actually may have made things a little bit better. the longest wait times at major airports just over half an hour, but this thanksgiving, travelers are not getting a vacation from inflation. this year americans are paying on average almost 100 bucks more per ticket than they did last year and they are feeling it. >> we had to pick out another weekday, you know, so wouldn't be as expensive. >> they were more expensive, yeah, it was time for us to go out, so we bit the bullet and we are excited to go to the bahamas. >> very expensive. so you have to sort of splurge a little bit, especially if you bring this, and then an extra

250. >> but high prices are not eating into anyone's turkey day travel plans. more travelers are expected this year than last. tsa estimates they will screen 2.5 million people today and sunday, the two biggest travel days around thanksgiving. the tsa administrator saying that's close to pre-pandemic levels. airlines also say they are staffed up to meet the demand and prepared airlines for america, represents the major airlines, saying carriers have made significant changes to improve operations including proactively adjusting schedules and hiring aggressively. u.s. airlines now have more employees on board than pre-pandemic. but transportation secretary pete buttigieg said he's keeping a close eye on what happens this thanksgiving travel weekend, does not want a repeat what happened over summer with mass delays and cancellations. he wants this holiday travel season to be a lot less turbulent for travelers. molly. >> i hear you, that's for sure. i was on a flight yesterday and folks heading all over the

country getting home for the holiday festivities, people are looking forward to it. thanks for keeping an eye on all of it for us. >> yeah. >> john: and you'll be heading back this weekend, too, right? >> i'm going to squeeze in some family time, make sure it all happens. what about you, you have some turkey time planned? >> john: my sister and brother-in-law down from canada, they are joining us for the american thanksgiving, friends coming over, it should be a good time. >> that's right, you guys get the two-fer with the thanksgiving last month, too. >> furthest i'll have to travel from the bedroom to the kitchen. just the way i like it. >> maybe it's less relaxing when you are hosting. a lot of hosts scram right now. >> john: don't jinx. air raid sirens, explosions in

at least six ukrainian cities and most power plants damaged, many ukrainians are forced to hunker down without heat or electricity. the latest from kyiv coming up. >> quadruple murder still unsolved. what does the nature of the killings tell us about who they should be looking for? former fbi investigator bill daly weighs in. >> four people so quietly not to disturb two other people in the basement of the house, it shows premeditation, it shows the police are right that people need to be vigilant. suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night? try vicks sinex for instant relief that lasts up to 12 hours. vicks sinex targets congestion at the source, relieving nasal congestion and sinus pressure by reducing swelling in the sinuses. try vicks sinex. as an independent financial advisor, i stand by these promises: i promise to be a careful steward

>> john: police are set to give an update on the idaho college murders, the first since sunday, nearly two weeks after the mysterious stabbing deaths of four students. detectives have not been able to confirm reports that one of the victims may have had a stalker. and police say they have not yet identified a suspect or recovered any weapons. former fbi investigator bill daly joins us with his thoughts in a moment, but first, dan springer live in moscow, idaho with an update for us. dan, what do we know? >> yeah, john, police have deflected so many of the questions the media has and it's led to some criticism of how they are handling the investigation. it will be interesting to see if they change gears at all and start to divulge more of the information that they have, perhaps to generate more tips. right now they don't seem to be very close to solving this mystery. they did have people telling them that kaylee may have had someone stalking her.

police say they pursued hundreds of pieces of information related to the topic and have not been able to verify or identify a talker. also our first look inside the house where the four students were murdered. the three female victims, all roommates and clearly good friends, made a tiktok video, imitating each other and the video was made just days before they were killed. as for the investigation, police still have not identified a suspect or found the murder weapon which they describe as a fixed blade knife. the coroner said that it was a long blade. also, eight straight days of seeing the crime scene scoured for any evidence of clues, yesterday was the first day we saw no investigative activity here, means they might feel they have all they are going to get from the house. we did see one officer this morning go in but he was in and out very quickly, only removing one box, looked like it was a box of booties that you put on before you go through a crime scene. fbi behavioral analysis unit has

joined the investigation but so far we have heard nothing official about a profile of the killer, but other experts are weighing in. here is a neuro psychologist on with jesse waters talking about the killer using a knife. >> the knife forces the killer to get up close and personal with the victims. it suggests that he might have wanted the victims to actually see him and that he probably also wanted to see the fear that he was instilling in the victims during the attacks. >> again, the news conference at 1:00 local time, we'll have that live in the cavuto hour and talk about what they say afterwards. john. >> john: looking forward to that. i know the families are anxious for more information. dan, thank you. >> molly: bring in former fbi investigator bill daly. thank you for joining us on this thanksgiving eve to talk about

this difficult case. it's been more than a week, a community and families want answers and yet no arrests, no suspects, a lot of information not being shared by police. we can hope they have more than they are telling us. there is a press conference just around the corner in a few hours. what are you hoping to hear at that press conference to give you some sort of confidence they are getting somewhere? >> well, first of all, molly, press conferences are meant for us, the general public at this point. if they are working on things i'm glad we have not been having press conferences, not to alleviate concerns, as much as you don't want to tip off the suspect out there. you have a killer out there, so you don't want to give out too much information as to who you think the person might be and general criteria, they are still working on quite a number of leads. so i'm hoping at the press conference at least they will let us know that they are making some headway, even if they keep in broad terms like that. and perhaps if anything, give some comfort to the people

living in the community as well as the victims' families that things are underway and maybe the people living in the community don't have an immediate concern for someone coming to their home. >> molly: this is a killer or potentially killers, i suppose, went into a house filled with people, with a physical knife, intimate killing. we have -- we spoke with one profiler, laid out a few bullet points about what they think this means about said killer. in your point of view, what do we know about the killer, given what the information we have about the scene? >> well, first, i certainly have great respect for the fbi behavioral analysis unit and profilers in the unit, as well as the other professionals, homicide investigators working on the case. i don't want to usurp their thoughts on this. but one of the things that does come to mind, someone with several decades of general investigative experience is that someone had to have been in one or more of these persons,

victims' orbit. by that i mean someone who has come across them in the past. i'm sure by now police have narrowed out the people in the near orbit but could have passed through them, knowing them, had some maybe interpersonal reaction over the years, and could be longer than just a day or two. may be longer. cases in the past someone has come back after many months if not a year after they feel as though they may have been disenfranchised by an organization and come back to commit an act. one of my thoughts. other, the person, if they were kind of a "mass murderer" looking to inflict harm on multiple people, they would have continued in the house and found the other victims. so seems to be some focus that this person had on these particular rooms where the victims were, perhaps had been in the house and knew a general layout from the past. so there are some things here that start to indicate that this person again tying into what

some of the profiles are saying had a personal interaction. >> molly: can the community breathe any sigh of relief, the killer is out there, if it was a personal crime. and secondly, if this individual went in and things were very messy as they were reported to be, there would be dna evidence. is this a matter of time before they find something that will lead them to this killer? >> molly, it's very possible they already have some type of dna, especially if there were wounds during the fighting that this person, you know, incurred or whether there was something under fingernails, a fight ensued, they had the dna. so, it could be that. it could be fingerprints. but let's also know that it's only as good as what you have to compare it to, so unless someone has their dna in a database someplace or their fingerprints in a database, they worked for

the government or they have worked, or convicted of a crime, you don't have a known to compare it to. the so later on it's helpful when you have a suspect but it may not be the treasure trove you hope for. the people in the community, i think people need to be generally concerned. you have someone who has killed someone in the community. you don't know how they will react, especially with the dragnet around them. people need to be wary and vigilant and report to police anything they think is out of character. >> molly: certainly the advice out there people are giving. bill daly, thank you for your insights. there is a press conference in a matter of hours. >> john: it was supposed to weed out crime in cartels, but police in california says legalizing marijuana has only sparked an explosion in the dangerous black market narcotics trade. why law enforcement says they

can bust drug rings day after day but they keep popping back up. >> molly: and president biden changing course again when it comes to student debt. with the handout plan held up in court, another pause on payments. will he keep using these sort of band aid solutions until the supreme court weighs in? we'll get marc thiessen's take next. >> really boils down to a policy choice. do you want people that never went to college like plumbers and mechanics, paying for people that get law degrees like law schools like ucla.

>> john: president biden kicking the can down the road when it comes to student loan debt. he is extending the pause on federal loan repayments as his debt forgiveness plan faces legal challenges and is potentially headed to the supreme court. joining us now is marc thiessen, former speech writer for george

w. bush and washington post columnist. as of january 1st, people were supposed to start their payments again on the outstanding student loans. president biden came out and said nope, we are going to kick it back now to the end of june. >> because the pandemic is over except it's not over. i mean, he can't make up his mind. he's giving the people false hope he's going to lose this case. he's claiming authority to spend up to a trillion dollars in u.s. taxpayer money without authorization from congress. even nancy pelosi said he could not do it before he did it and then she sort of reversed course. how does he claim the authority to do that? using the 2003 heroes act, to make sure the people called up to active duty to risk their lives for our country did not default on the loans and says in a war or national emergency. and he's saying the pandemic is a national emergency, i'm going to conduct an act of stolen valor, benefit for people who risked their lives for the

country and give it to people who took out loans they cannot afford and the courts will turn it down. >> john: it is congress, house in particular that generates spending and the president circumvented that, and call for number 3 here, he seemed to indicate at a white house event he had gone to congress to do it. listen to this. >> it's passed, i got it passed by a vote or two, and it's in effect. >> john: passed what? it was an executive order. he didn't pass anything. >> no, he didn't pas anything. >> john: pen passed over the paper but that's it. >> he's driving a truck through the national emergency 2003 law. and the problem with that, he's just argued in the courts he should be able to lift title 42 because the pandemic emergency is over. so we said we are going to allow people to come across the border and lift that because the pandemic is over but he's going to argue in the courts the pandemic is not over, what allows him to do the student loans. which one is it? apparently in the biden administration the pandemic is

over for illegal immigrants crossing our border in record numbers, the size of ireland, but for americans, american citizens it's not. >> john: this is also costing us money as was pointed out in the wall street journal. the fact he has deferred student loan repayments, also cost taxpayers $155 billion to date since interest is not accruing on student date that uncle sam is financing with debt that carries increasing interest rates. so he's paying for dollars with $10 bills. >> that's right, and who is paying it. proof the democratic party is a party of college educated coastal elites, this is it. reverse robinhood policy, stealing from the poor and giving to the rich. janitors and hospital cafeteria paying for the medical degrees of doctors and nurses, school janitor pay for the advanced degrees and the well to do parents. auto mechanics pay for the

graduate school loans of the people, wealthy people who bring their cars in to get fixed. this is a war on the working class by this administration which shows they are the democratic party is no longer the party of the working class. >> john: we had a member of congress, i can't remember who it was, saying the plumbers and auto mechanics who have children with student loans are happy they are going to get the student loan forgiveness. >> the majority of them don't and probably have kids getting medical degrees and advanced degrees and law degrees and the rest of it. >> john: great thanksgiving. >> you and your family. >> john: hope you spend some quality time with your family. >> molly: voters in california were sold on the idea legalizing marijuana would have a cut down on crime but it's causing the opposite problems. william. >> molly, that was the promise from politicians and supporters. legalize pot, tax it, and the

state will get rich and the crime, the black market, the mexican cartels, those would disappear. police say that has not happened, and the laws that remain are misdemeanors and have no teeth. >> riverside county sheriff's department search warrant. >> illegal pot farm outside los angeles. >> search warrant. >> inside deputies find guns and two accused growers hiding in a closet. >> hands up, hands up. >> look like a goat farm. from the air, deputies could see grow houses containing millions in illicit pot. >> prop 64 makes marijuana legal in california. >> like other states, voters were told legalizing marijuana would eliminate associated crime and cartels. that has not happened. >> we are seeing massive cultivation operations. >> police say organized crime

still controls the market, illegal immigrants grow the pot, local gangs sell it through outlaw dispensaries. this is one of about 85 illegal pot shops in los angeles. because selling cannabis without a license is a misdemeanor, they reopen. this one has been busted seven times. >> the problem is, they are undercutting the legal shops, coming in and selling the product almost half the price. >> inside looks like a candy store with edibles labelled chips ahigh and water and power will cut off utilities, cite the landlord for code violations, but for law enforcement, california's cannabis experiment is a disaster. >> this will most likely open back up in a day or two. >> the update. two arrested in los angeles were released. the pot store reopened the next day so it's now busted eight

times, reopened and the irony is, molly, so the pot industry is historically hostile to police and now they are asking them to clean up the regulatory and legal mess they created. >> molly: it is a change world. fascinating report. who tries to hide their illegal weed behind a herd of goats, but you found them. fantastic, thank you. >> john: thankfully the goats are not eating the pot, for the goats. georgia senate run-off showing warnock ahead of walker in the first major poll of the rematch but with control of the senate already decided, how can republicans get their voters amped up and out to the polls? karl rove will be here with some thoughts on that. >> molly: very interesting to hear. plus, many americans getting weighed down by winter worries this holiday season with home heating costs way up. will you have to choose between buying christmas gifts or

keeping your house warm? oil trader phil flynn is up next on that. >> people have gone without hot water and heat for a week just because they have not had the money to call me and say hey, come on in. my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. ray's a1c is down with rybelsus®. i'm down with rybelsus®. my a1c is down with rybelsus®. in a clinical study, once-daily rybelsus® significantly lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill. in the same study, people taking rybelsus® lost more weight. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea

may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. need to get your a1c down? you may pay as little as $10 per prescription. my father didn't know his dad. with ancestry i dug and dug until i found some information. birth certificate. wow. and then you add it to the tree. it's like you discover a new family member. it's the greatest gift. now on sale at ancestry. about two years ago i realized that jade was overweight. i wish i would have introduced the fresh food a lot sooner. after farmer's dog she's a much healthier weight. she's a lot more active. and she's able to join us on our adventures. get started at longlivedogs.com

hello, colonial penn? ♪♪ >> john: elon musk continuing his crusade to get the woke out of twitter's workforce. new ceo showing a secret closet found in the company's headquarters filled with stay woke t-shirts. he's already cut more than 75% of the staff, and a pledge for those who remain to work harder than ever to drastically change twitter. drastic change could come in different forms. if he loses any more workers, may just change for good. >> molly: he's got some free t-shirts he can hand out, might be enough to grab one.

i don't know if they'll want one, we'll see. he got a good laugh out of finding the shirts, i think. >> john: i better believe he did. >> molly: many people consider thanksgiving to be the unofficial start of the holiday season. but most americans may be dreading the drop in temperatures. already seeing that in some places around the country due to the rising energy prices. this as these federally funded programs aim to help low income households, those with big bills are running out of money. phil flynn is an oil trader, senior market analyst and what we are looking at as things get colder and colder. it's already the 20s overnight temperatures in new england, not just higher prices to heat their homes but a double whammy. inflation and gas prices as well, and a graph about the prices up since last year.

what does this mean for a family looking ahead at the christmas season? are they making those tough choices between christmas presents and heating their homes? >> they absolutely are, molly. and this is probably one of the worst situations i've seen for energy going into winter, you know, at least since the 1970s. you know, not only are households getting hit with inflation, turkey prices are through the roof, but they are having to make serious choices that can impact their lives and their livelihoods, you know, between food and energy. and this shouldn't be happening. you know, we have a country where we have some of the best resources of energy in the world, whether it be, you know, oil, natural gas, but yet because of the green energy movement we have really discouraged the investment in those type of fuels and that's leaving people out in the cold and that shouldn't be happening at this time of year.

and what bothers me is now we are talking about these programs, when one in six americans are behind on their utility bills running out of money when we have the biden administration promising billions to fight climate change and other countries. we should focus on the people at home before we start trying to save the planet. >> molly: president biden spending the thanksgiving holiday on the island of nantucket, a balmy week but temperatures will start dropping soon and a lot of folks across new england and maine are thinking about how cold it's going to be. in the fact sheet they talk about the things they are doing to help people. it focused on weatherization, upgrading efficient improvements, upgrading to lower bills, but a lot of families are facing this winter with what we have already got. the situation they are already in. should the administration be doing more at this point in time? >> they absolutely should be. and in some ways they have to

quit doing damage. a lot of the policies they put in place when they came into office, president biden killing the keystone pipeline drilling moratoriums, discouraging investment, has created these shortages. we have democratic leaders on record trying to kill pipelines, trying to ban natural gas, you know, and that might sound wonderful to some people, but the reality is, those kind of decisions affects people's lives, it drives up the cost of energy and now when we have shortages, you know, remind me of when president obama, gas prices were going up n don't drill more, put more air in your tires, that's not a realistic solution to the real problems that people are suffering with this holiday season. >> molly: and a patch work of solutions from reaching out to the salvation army, that sort of thing. phil flynn, thank you very much for your insight. something we are talking about in the weeks and months ahead. appreciate it. >> happy thanksgiving. >> john: molly, still with
