>> griff: police revealed chilling you details about the walmart shooting in virginia, including a possible motive. coworkers who survived the deadly rampage speak out about the gunman who shot and killed six people and wounded four others. he then killed himself. welcome to a brand-new hour of fox news live, i'm griff jenkins. >> julie: and i'm julie banderas. the manager reportedly had a manifesto on his phone and a hit list. so far that's unconfirmed by fox news. he was also unhappy, apparently, about a change to his employment

status as walmart apparently had made a change where he worked since 2010. the chesapeake community is in mourning as we learn about the victims, and as investigator spent thing sitting searching for evidence. walmart's associates whose lives were spared are speaking out. >> i looked up and my manager turned around and he just opened fire and everybody in the break room. and it's by the grace of god that a bullet missed me. not going to lie, i literally looked at him, i saw the smoke leaving the gun, and i watched bodies drop. >> julie: wow. let's go to mark meredith live in chesapeake, virginia. it's just so startling to hear her talk about her manager opening fire at her job. i can't even fathom. >> julie, you are right, it's absolutely horrifying. good morning to you. there is speculation about motive, the police had yet to say why they think this shooting occurred. just a few moments ago i spoke with a woman who knew that

govern don mcgahn meant and he was in the story of the time the shooting. she said she's coming here to pay respects. why she believed this happen, she said she had a lot of gases but now firm answers. police are talking people like her who knew the gunman and were inside the story when the shooting began around 10:00 p.m. on tuesday. the investigators say this incurred one of the break rooms of the store and that witnesses say the gunman didn't say anything as he began shooting. police believe they were about 50 people inside the store at the time. investigators have identified the gunman as 31-year-old andre bing, an overnight shift leader who had worked at walmart since. police believe after the shooting he turned the gun on himself and killed himself. we are also learning more about those killed. their ages range from 16-70 years old, and while some people were killed instantly inside the store, others were taken to hospital and died nearby. late wednesday we did hear from chesapeake's mayor. >> we will share the spirit and together, and we will be

stronger for it. for now, law enforcement will do what they can, and i promise you more information will follow. >> a small makeshift memorial has been set up in the store's parking lot. people continue to bring candles, balloons, flowers, and also just come by to see the scene. one woman told us the shooting certainly does not reflect her community. >> i just want all the families to know that we surround them with the love, and our heart goes out to them. it's just -- it's not our city. not for this to happen. not our city. >> walmart has dispatched a crisis team here to chesapeake. we have seen some of their team throughout the area this morning, ready to offer whatever assistance they can. the walmart ceo says this has been a hard impact on the walmart family overall. also no sign that this story is going to be reopening any time soon, understandably. i just looked at the parking lot here in front of the store and it looked like it was frozen in

time. people still had their belongings in front when they were running out of the story, a sign that it will take a long time for this community, if ever, to get back to normal. >> julie: mark meredith, thank you. ♪ ♪ >> we don't want to put our investigation in jeopardy by releasing what we have. we've told the public very clearly from the beginning that we are looking for a knife. he told the public very clearly from the beginning that we believe it was a targeted attack. you're going to have to trust us on that at this point, because we are not going to release why we think that. >> griff: the police captain urging patience's please continue investigating the brutal murder of four university of idaho students killed in their off-campus home more than ten days ago. and that news conference yesterday, police say they have no suspects in the attacks. dan springer is live with the latest.

hello, dan. >> griff, at that news conference the police wanted to convey the message that they are making significant progress. they are getting new leads every day, but this is a complex and difficult case. they have a ton of evidence to go through, and they are working right through thanksgiving, through this entire weekend. between moscow pd, idaho state police, and the fbi, there are more than 100 cops trying to solve these murders. they have 103 individual pieces of evidence collected. they have taken 4,000 photos, a lot of 3d scans, put in hundreds of hours of forensics work, processed 1,000 tips, and conducted 150 interviews, but they are keeping most of what they know close to the vest, including who the killer's primary target was. >> first and foremost, we have the integrity of the investigation to preserve, and we feel that information is integral to us in how we conduct our investigation. releasing that to the public may or may not flood us with a lot of information that is not

relevant or specific to what we are looking at. >> police were also asked if they could be any connection to a very similar knife attack on this young couple last year in salem, oregon, about 400 miles away. a man wearing a mask and armed with a long knife attacked travis and jamie lynn at 3:00 a.m. while they slept. travis fought the intruder but died from his wounds. his wife was stabbed 19 times but survived. the suspect has not been caught or even identified. >> we are looking at every avenue, and we have other agencies reaching out to us with other cases and stuff we are going to continue to follow up on. >> the chief went on to acknowledge that he was aware of that case, he was tipped off to it. he gave his investigators that tip, so they are looking into it right now, but there's no confirmed connection. we can also tell you that idaho's governor, brad little,

has pledged $1 million for this investigation. so the state is involved, the federal government is involved, and they're trying to solve this case as quickly as possible. but they say it'll take some time. griff? >> griff: wow, so many questions to be answered. thank you. julie? >> julie: i want to bring in ted williams, former detective and a fox news contributor. you have been on the scene all week long. you are hearing about this other writer that happened that police are not saying whether it's connected or not. but that murderer is still on the loose, and these are the victims. the husband was killed, the wife was stabbed 19 times. do you believe the police are simply putting it out there that of course they're going to investigate whether they are connected? do they believe in all reality that could be the case? >> good morning, julie. i'd like to start off by saying that we are all celebrating thanksgiving, but that there are four families out there and their friends who today will not

be able to celebrate thanksgiving because their loved one is no longer here with us. i heard about this couple. i don't know, i am sure that the authorities are running down every and any lead that it gets. i have to tell you, i was thinking about this, these individuals were targeted, somebody was targeted. so if somebody was targeted, that makes it a little bit more personal. you can't say to the public that someone was targeted and not bring the public along with you in this investigation by giving the public more information. not all the information, but the public needs more information. they are very frustrated in moscow, idaho, right now. >> julie: the police department did call the quadruple homicide, as we are speaking about now, "isolated,

targeted incident." they are declining say which of the victims were targeted or why they believe that to be true, but they say the integrity of the investigation, as we heard, needs to be preserved, and the information is integral to how the investigation is conducted. so basically the police have information they are not sharing with us, but that's what every homicide investigation, as you very well know. how much do you believe they know that they are not telling us? >> i think they know a great deal more than they are sharing with the public, and they should not share everything with the public. but you can't leave the public out there dangling on a wire while you give them some information and at times have given the misinformation in this investigation. those are the things that are very troubling. no motive, no suspect, and having been on the ground out there, julie, i can tell you there are two entrances to this

house. there's one in the front, and there's a sliding glass door in the back that goes into the second floor, and up maybe to the third floor where the individuals were found dead. you would have to believe that they would have done a lot of work processing the back of the home. me and a camera men, we went oun the back, and we can see that a lot of the area was left undisturbed. so there's always a question. they don't have the murder weapon, so they are looking for this murder weapon, and i believe they should canvas that area. within 30 minutes of our reporting here on fox news, they were back there canvassing that area. but it should have been canvassed earlier, i believe. >> julie: i understand the front door had a combination lock, and the sliding glass door was potentially maybe the point of entry. if this was not a friend or an acquaintance, if somebody were to break in, maybe someone left a sliding glass door open, which

is possible, if they were drinking. nonetheless, with the lack of information, in any investigation there's going to be speculation. that's what the police tried too do in yesterday's news conference. they wanted to address the fact that one of the girls did not have a stocker, that they were not found bound and tied up. those are the sorts of rumors that he going around, which i cannot imagine for these poor parents, honestly. it just breaks my heart to know that they not only have information, but then they have to actually dampen down these awful rumors about their kids. they were innocent kids who deserved a future, and now they don't have one, because of some scumbag or scumbags that decided to rob them of that. >> you know, you are absolutely right, and we have to watch about speculation. but the community is going to be out there, and there's going to be a lot of speculation. they have to run down some of these leads, because one of these leads could very well lead to the killer or killers. i can tell you, there was a

great deal of blood on that crime scene. i think the authorities have a lot more that they are working with then we have been told. >> julie: yes, and patience unfortunately will be a virtue. this investigation will take time. ted williams, thank you. happy thanksgiving. >> my pleasure. >> this is what really bothers me about what he did. the word "filth." he called what educators do in schools all across america "filthy." >> julie: the head of the second largest teachers union in a war of words of former secretary of state mike pompeo. why he called her the most dangerous person in the world. >> griff: and philadelphia reeling from an explosion of violent crime. critics saying the liberal district attorney is now preoccupied with politics after a vote to impeach him.

>> griff: four children shot near high school, and several home invasions targeting college students, just a few recent examples of the explosion of violent crime in philadelphia. the city's liberal d.a. this week slamming republican-led efforts to impeach him. >> there's been a very serious effort not only to erase votes and to silence people, but to silence me. never in the history of the commonwealth of pennsylvania has there ever been an effort to impeach, meaning charge will remove from office, which is what that whole trial is about. >> griff: joe concha joins us now, a media columnist for "the hill" and a fox news contributor. happy thanksgiving. you heard larry krasner they are talking about that trial expected to start in january. what do you make of it? >> if i'm larry krasner, griff, i'd start updating that linkedin page in my resume right away.

not too long ago, another deep blue city, san francisco, ousted their d.a. after voters there of all stripes said they've had more than enough. you are allowing violent criminals to be arrested and back out in the street in the time it takes to deliver a pizza. in 2021, philadelphia had more murders than in any year in the history, except that record didn't last long, because they've already broken it in 2022. with great power comes great responsibility and accountability, and this d.a. needs to be held accountable. by the way, speaking of accountability, what has the senator elect said on this topic? that's right, he doesn't do interviews. but he wants to let one-third of the prison population out. how do so many pennsylvanians feel about this right now? i have to believe when they look at their largest city that is still somehow called the city of brotherly love and see the carnage that is happening there, they've got to think someone is responsible, and that starts with the district attorney, griff. >> griff: you mentioned murder, let's show the stats.

per different cities you can see 435 and philadelphia come up there with new york, chicago, los angeles. it was interesting, joe, "the washington post" editorial board had this to say. they said the approach to law enforcement raises genuine concerns, especially in light of the peril that crime poses in philadelphia. the effort to oust him is misguided and an affront to local control and choice. if successful, the recall would set a dangerous precedent. is the washington editorial board now representing larry krasner? >> it appears that way. you see why t "the washington post" has never in its history ever endorsed a republican presidential candidate. this is the paper that is considered one of the most influential in the country, along with "the new york times." they serve at the pleasure of the democratic party. that's obvious but the editorial. they needs to be accountability here and particularly those who

live in philadelphia have had enough. >> griff: we've got a thanksgiving smacked down between randi weingarten and mike pompeo, two strange bedfellows, but they have gotten into it. starting with what mr. pompeo has said about her, "i tell the story often paid i get asked to is the most dangerous person in the world. is it chairman kim? is that xi jinping? the most dangerous person in the world is randi weingarten. it's not a close call." the head of the teachers union, she had this to say. listen. >> look, i guess he's running for president. i mean, he has all the extremist talking points down. he knows better. he's a west point boy. he knows better. but he is doing this to try and win a republican primary, and he is hurting kids, and the effort of teachers to bring the country

back together. >> griff: joe, your reaction? >> i'll be happy to repeat the sentiment of mike pompeo. randi weingarten did more damage to our kids than any public figure in this country. she is responsible for keeping my kids out of school, julie's kids out of school, for months and months after they should have gone back, because the data and the science said so. she has yet to apologize. i just can't believe now that she is making herself the victim here. but democrats will never hold the teachers unions and randi weingarten accountable, because, again, democrats are in bed with the teachers union, and this is all happening, by the way, griff -- just look at the numbers. the u.s. is currently ranked 25th in the world in math, reading, writing, and science. china is far and away number one, and we keep falling behind. what happened during those two years of cothey didn't help matters. we only saw our education system

get worse. again, accountability. randi weingarten is at the top of that list. >> griff: we've got to get those numbers up, and joe, we have to get you to a thanksgiving dinner table. happy thanksgiving. thanks for coming on. >> to you, as well, griff. this guy is not that big, but he should be tasty, and we are looking forward to it. >> griff: [laughs] thanks, joe. julie? >> julie: i love joe. competitive sports have a long history of cheating, and lately it seems to be on the rise. recent scandals hitting chess, fishing, and even corn hole, sparking a widespread outrage. douglas kennedy with a deep dive on all of it. >> fishermen have a long tradition of telling tales, but this crossed the line into something else. >> right, there was no story to tell on this one. it was just straight deception. >> to jason fisher, catching a winning wh walleye involves skil

and luck. >> beautiful representative of the lake. >> unfortunately, as judge of a recent competition on lake erie, he found it also can involve stuffing a walleye with lead weights. >it's really rare to catch someone cheating so clearly and unequivocally. as you cut these two fishermen. >> i don't think it's ever happened before in live time, on video, where essentially the whole world got to see it. >> it's just one in a series of cheating scandals that have plagued all parts of american society, including corn hole champions who were caught using illegal beanbags. >> a cheating scandal dubbed badgate is sending shock waves across the professional corn whole world. >> a chess player who had to endure a full body probe after being accused of using vibrating beads to win a championship. even miss usa's crown became

tainted after fellow contestants questioned the competition's integrity. >> overnight, some contestants now questioning the legitimacy of the pageant. >> cheating allegations seem to be everywhere right now. >> it feels like people are prioritizing the outcome." >> a psychologist in new york has written extensively about modern america's cheating phenomenon. she blames a culture that rewards those who choose to win at any cost. >> more and more you are seeing people refusing to lose, and refusing to admit they lost after they lost. >> we see it across all domains. in government, in sports, and it's normalizing the behavior. >> fisher says people who lie in order to win do damage well beyond one event. >> this is going to affect all fishing competitions for a long time to come. >> right. most fishing competitions, at

least here, it's done on an honor system. you can't have officials or official judge is on everybody's boat. so there is an honor code. >> an honor system some say is being systematically dismantled across many american institutions. on lake erie in ohio, douglas kennedy, fox news. >> julie: griff, are you any good at corn hole? >> griff: i suppose if i cheated i would be. >> julie: next corn hole, i'm going to kill it. apparently one of the methods is you drive over the weighted sink to flatten it. he makes it more aerodynamic. just consider that at your next birthday party. drive over your weights. i don't know if that's considered cheating, but that's one of their techniques. i think it's brilliant. >> griff: if you figure it out, let me know, because i want to go to the fair and cheat at that thing where you throw and get the ring on a bottle, so i can win a big teddy bear. i never did. >> julie: that would be great.

>> griff: i would set my morals and ethics aside to win that big bear. >> julie: all right, griff. >> griff: president biden spending the holidays in the lap of luxury while many americans are forced to cut back on the feast. he's having his thanksgiving meal at a billionaire's home in nantucket, and the white house is telling americans to talk up his compliments at the dinner table, even putting out a cheat sheet. why critics are carving up this idea like a thanksgiving turkey. ♪ ♪ ♪ it's so cold for you here and now ♪ ♪ so let me hold ♪

>> julie: now to the latest from the world cup. some top teams are taking to the field today, and the u.s. team is getting ready for its match against england's tomorrow afternoon. alex hogan is live at the world cup in doha, qatar, with the latest. >> hi, julie. happy thanksgiving.

it's not a lot of time for celebration for the players here who are gearing up for that game. they spoke out today, talking about what they expect, having tied the first game. they say that there is little margin of error when moving forward something that is top of mind for them. >> i think we know we have to be better in transition against england if we want to score goals, and i think we have learned a lot. >> travelers from all around the world are here in qatar and today we visited delhi's old town market, talking to americans about how they could have missed the chance to root on team usa, especially since the men's team did not qualify for the world cup four years ago. still, even across the planet, they are sneaking in some time to celebrate thanksgiving. >> i'm celebrating the face time, but i couldn't miss this, so i had to be here. >> we are excited to be here in the games, traveling, having a good time, in different countries, meeting people from all over come it is having a

good time. >> of the big lineups today, highly favored brazil will take the field for the first time, playing serbia, and portugal will play ghana. but it's been the underdogs who have seized the moment, with saudi arabia defeating argentina, and japan winning over germany. japan is getting a lot of praise for how it reacted to that shocking victory with fans staying behind in the stadium to clean up their seats, and for the team, the players in the locker room to fully clean up that locker room, as well, leaving it just as it was before the game had got there. julie? >> julie: wow. alex hogan, thank you. >> griff: julie, let's head to nashville where the music city turkey trot got underway this morning. he chatted with runners and organizers about how they prepared for the event, especially with unpredictable weather conditions. fox weather's nicole valdes is live in nashville with more. hey, nicole.

>> griff, good morning, and happy thanksgiving to you. you're absolutely right. in fact, nashville is known for having somewhat unpredictable weather. i'll tell you, just a few days ago we were talking about the potential of seeing a rainy thanksgiving day all across the southeast, particularly here in nashville. now you will see that sun is beaming down. chances seem a little more slim than they initially were looking just a few days ago. but organizers for the music city turkey trot that you see is now breaking down behind me. we had about 1500 or so runners crossed the finish line after running the 3.1 miles here. they were prepared for the potential of that reign. they brought all the gear they thought was necessary, and knowing it was going to be a cooler morning for those runners. anything from blankets, coffee, soup, and water for the recovery after the race that got their body temperatures up. chilly earlier, no we are approaching 50 degrees here. but this is one of the many

thanksgiving traditions we see, whether it's waking up for a turkey trot or a game of football with the family and friends. we see a lot of smiling faces, people running back finished doe finish line. one of the many things people were thankful for, just being able to spend it with each other on a beautiful day here in music city, griff. steel and nicole valdes live in nashville. maybe you'll get a turkey and a nashville hot chicken sandwich. who knows, julie? >> julie: less than two weeks to go, georgia's people will be casting ballots in the runoff between raphael warnock and republican herschel walker. president obama set to rally with senator warnock, but president biden, maybe not so much. we are going to be digging into this close race next. ♪ all the leaves are brown ♪

thanksgiving." republican congressman ralph norman torching the list, saying "using the white house talking points to try and gaslight your own family is the reality of this administration and seems like a miserable way to spend thanksgiving." lucas tomlinson's life from nantucket where he is spending the holiday in a $20 million estate. hey, lucas. >> that's right, president biden, it's becoming a presidential tradition for them to come here to nantucket. he's visiting a local firehouse where he posed for pictures with us firefighters. he spoke to the press about having guns on his mind after this spate of shootings. >> the idea that we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. just sick. it has no social value. zero, none. not a single solitary --

>> thanking first responders is the theme of this year's thanksgiving. it seems like here on the island, president biden also calling coverage into the '96 thanksgiving day parade. >> i want to say thanks to the police officers, responders. they never take a break. >> and god bless our troops, for sure. >> we are going to talk to some of our troops later today, both here and abroad. i hope everyone remembers every single day. god bless our troops, for real. >> ron klain to eating out a list of talking points to talk to your uncle with, including this, "no taxes on people making above $400,000." clearly a typo and later fixed by the press secretary during a tweet later today. as the president alluded to, he and the first lady will be on the phones later talking to

deployed u.s. military units, and i thought this would be right up your alley. the president did not take part, but a lot of people jumped in and were very cold, later wearing bathrobes, i'm sure, and heating up. >> griff: i was counting on you, lucas, to make the plunge into that plush assignment in nantucket. great background they are. thank you. julie? >> julie: here is another response to those turkey day talking points from kentucky congressman james comer. >> six years in congress watching the left, their business model revolves around keeping everyone outraged, mad and angry. thanksgiving is a day to reflect and be thankful, they want everyone to be upset and outraged, and blame their outrage on the republican party. it's very unfortunate. that's a big reason why we are so divided in america. >> julie: a republican strategist and principal at the

vocal group, and carly cooperman's partner and ceo and a former senior advisor to michael bloomberg. i am headed to my friend's $20 million estate after -- no, i'm going to my sister's apartment in brooklyn for my thanksgiving. the president of the united states is not only seeming to be disconnected when it comes to the economy and what americans are facing on this thanksgiving day, but also to blame inflation and the price of rising turkey costs on vladimir putin. it just further distances him from reality. what say you? >> no question, and happy thanksgiving. the president actually did a good job with the parade, trying to talk about things that most americans can agree to. thinking first responders, talking about our troops, but chief of staff ron klain is so off-base with this thing. americans want to come together over thanksgiving.

not fighting with their uncle over talking points. quite frankly, the talking points are wrong. the best thing for the biden campaign is to go back to the basement and hide from the record instead of bringing it up at thanksgiving table. >> look, the midterm elections showed us that attacking biden democrats is not enough. the republicans did less well than was expected, they had less gains in the house than expected, and all they did was attack democrats without really providing alternate solutions to the problems facing the country. i think the democrats are trying to show that they have made efforts to tackle the economy and inflation, and they can get out there with some of the compliments they've made. >> julie: they are attacking republicans, too. just to be fair here, both sides are constantly attacking. every time the president gets in front of the microphone, he somehow looks after republicans

or "maga republicans," one of his favorite phrases to date. i think he says that more than he does "inflation." i'm going to switch gears here. democratic senator raphael warnock, i want to talk about whether he's going to be welcoming president biden on the campaign trail as he moves closer to the runoff election against republican senate nominee herschel walker. here's how he responded. watch. >> i don't control the schedule of the president of the united states. we have a little more than two weeks. the people of georgia will show up and we will see. >> it sounds like it's skirting a question. more and more candidates seem to be steering clear of president biden, it seems. >> the best place for the biden campaign to be is back in the basement, not in georgia at this

time. mostly because governor kemp has taken over the locker campaign. he talks about how he needs an ally in washington, d.c. we, he will make a tough here, during the dollars spent against him. talk about the issues people care about, which is the economy and their safety when they leave the house. >> julie: this has obviously gotten to him somehow in nantucket paid somebody delivered him the information. he is now telling warnock that he will stay away if that helps, after warnock deflected on the question. so he's admitting defeat, sort of, they are scheduling and picking a former president scheduled to go to georgia on december 1st. clearly this doesn't look good when a former president is chosen over a sitting president to campaign for someone in their own party.

does president biden not see that, his party turning their backs on him? >> president obama is highly popular among democrats and it makes a lot of sense for him to show up. he's going to get democrats to turn out. it h helped democrats avoid big losses, and they were able to focus on issues like abortion rates and democracy, and it enabled the focus to be on specific candidates in the races. many on the republican side were weak. maintaining a little profile leading up to the georgia runoff is a great idea, so the democrats can continue to focus on the flawed candidacy of herschel walker. >> julie: thank you both. we appreciate you coming on. happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. >> to you, as well. >> griff: coming up, a u.s. marine wounded in afghanistan on

life was forever altered in a split second, and it really puts life into perspective. obviously being that close to death, seeing so much death, it makes me extra thankful for everything i have in my life. my family, my job, a country of freedom. it has been 12 years of being thankful. my message is being thankful, and i have so much to be thankful for. the organizations that help me out to be here i am today. >> griff: and one of those organizations, the semper fi america fund. how did that help you? >> that fund has been probably one of the most integral pieces of my recovery, and my rehabilitation to this point. they are near and dear to my heart. they have really become more than a fund, they are a family,

because 12 years later -- the first of my injury, they were there helping my family out, and they didn't just see me off. my family knows them, they are a crucial piece of serving veterans. i think they have served 29,000 veterans and their families so far. currently right now in the spirit of thanksgiving and giving, the bob and renee parsons foundation, bob is also a marine, they are doing the double down and matching dollar for dollar up to $10 million between now and december 31st. so all of that funding goes to the semper fi americas fund to continue to help veterans like myself, veterans who are still in, veterans who need that transition or that assistance. the economy is tough, life is tough right now.

mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, it's tough. they are there and it's good to know they have your back. >> griff: gabe, i've got to ask you, why did you join the marines? >> i joined the marines because they wanted to serve my country. after 9/11, i was only in seventh grade, so i didn't know too much about life, basically. but seeing the attacks on 9/11 did spark that fire in my heart, and it led me to seek out what terrorism was, what freedom was. the more i learned about it, the more i really wanted to be part of that. not only did i want to save in the military, i wanted to go into combat. i wanted to fight. quite frankly, i wanted to fight terrorists. >> griff: and here you are, 12 years later, and thankful this thanksgiving. gabe martinez, sergeant, well done. thank you for your service, and

happy thanksgiving. anything special you're going to do today? i have ten seconds. >> i'm just going to be thankful. i'm spending time with my friends and family and counting my blessings. i'll call my buddy, the corporal justin gertner, and wish him well. happy thanksgiving to all of you guys. appreciate it. >> griff: sergeant gabe martinez, thank you very much. >> yes, sir. >> griff: julie? >> julie: he's a perfect example of why we need to give thanks. not just thanksgiving, but everything the day. when we talk about respecting law enforcement, the country, the flag, and america. he's the reason right there. everyone who puts their lives on the line for us every single day, we thank you and we are so thankful for you. the pressure is on. calling for alejandro mayorkas to resign over his handling of the border crisis. but will he? and can republicans make him when they take over the house next year? that's next.

the virus that causes shingles is sleeping... in 99% of people over 50. and it could strike at any time. think you're not at risk? wake up. because shingles could wake up in you. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention.
