we had a couple of celebrations yesterday. you go from house to house and most people are thankful. most people want to take a day to show their appreciation. so i think if she wants to be sour, that's her audience and she can do that. but i would say most of america doesn't feel that way. >> griff: i have agree with you and thankful for my family, friends, turkey i had, the football i watched and for tom shillue getting up and coming on with us. have a great weekend. >> thanks, griff. >> julie: fox news alert chilling new details of police 0 in on a possible motive in the deadly shooting rampage at a wal-mart in virginia. police released new information as family, friends and co-workers gather to mourn and remember the victims. investigators working over the holiday weekend as we await a police update. an eyewitness who survived the attack said the manager accused of killing six co-workers before

taking his own life was hunting for specific people. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm julie banderas, dana and bill are off today. >> griff: i'm griff jenkins. brand-new details coming to light about a note found on the suspect's cell phone with a list of grievances. as we learn more about the victims, co-workers who knew the alleged gunman 31-year-old andre binge are saying he seemed angry and aggressive. neighbors are describing him as a loner who mostly kept to himself but something seemed off. zblee >> he seemed a little weird. he would get mad people standing in front of his door and blocking his driveway i guess. he didn't like it. never thought nothing like this. >> julie: mark meredith has more on the investigation for us this morning.

good morning, mark. >> good morning. within the last hour investigators released a lot of new information related to tuesday's shooting inside a virginia wal-mart. the attack that killed six people and left who others in critical condition police are publishing a note left on his phone before he killed himself. police say andre bing walked into a break room and opened fire with a nine millimeter handgun. the gun was purchased on the morning of the shooting. bing had worked at wal-mart since 2010. many avoided him. in the note by police he reportedly said why he killed. the associates gave me evil, twisted grins, mocked me and celebrated my downfall the last day. that's why they suffered the same fate as me. my only wish would have been to start over from scratch and that my parents would have paid

closer attention to my social deficits. for wal-mart community and the community at large it was horrific. a business donated handmade crosses and -- >> hopefully gives the family a little closure. families and friends of people who are affected and we're here to support them. >> wal-mart says it set up resources to support those impacted. the store remains closed. we don't know when it will reopen. a vigil for the victims will be held in chesapeake on monday. >> griff: investigators collecting more than 100 pieces of evidence as they try to solve the murders of four idaho college students. dan springer has the latest from moscow, idaho. hey, dan. >> this is a community of 25,000 people.

conservative area. i get the sense that they are very supportive of the police. they want more answers. they want the case solved. right now it appears they're giving the police some leniency, the benefit of the doubt. police did conduct a news conference this week saying they have done 150 interviews, they have 1,000 tips from the public and that they are making progress in this high-profile investigation. but the bottom line is 12 days in police have no arrests, no suspect identified and no murder weapon. the f.b.i. does have a mobile forensics unit in moscow working through a lot of physical evidence taken from that scene, that rental house. there is an elite behavioral analysis unit working the case and likely they've come up with a profile of the killer and shared that with investigators. it has not been released to the public but police insist there is a reason. >> this is such a tragic circumstance that we find

ourselves in, in law enforcement we believe we owe this to the surviving families to get this right. >> a retired f.b.i. profiler talked to fox news and he is not working this case but from what he has learned given us sort of a profile and he has come up with the idea that this killer is probably around the same age as the victims, maybe a little bit older. compulsive. may have felt rejected by one or more of the victims. also may have been bragging about having a knife or showing people a knife. people all over are following this case and they want to have this thing solved and they're trying to help. the f.b.i. profiling team on scene has not given us the profile but a lot of people are saying what they think happened in the house and who may have done that. right now no one arrested, griff. >> griff: so many questions and so few answers. dan springer live in idaho. thank you. >> julie: let's bring in former

f.b.i. assistant director chris swecker. this is a classic homicide case in the fact that the investigators are doing what they do best, gathering all their information without giving away too much obviously. they have much more information than they're giving to the public and asking the public to remain patient. let's talk about some of the latest they've come up with. victim's father has the moscow police believe that only one of the students killed was an actual target. originally police said it was a targeted attack and that it was not random. now we're hearing only one of the students was a target. that means that they know much more about this suspect or suspects than they are giving off. what do you make of that? >> well, i think it's the original theme that they came up with early on, that this was a so-called targeted killing. that doesn't tell you all that much. that just tells you as i have

said in earlier commentary targeted could mean that a predator saw somebody that night and followed them home or an uber driver. i'm not saying that's who it is but someone who came in contact with one of the four specifically targeted one of them. that could be, you know, a 10-minute targeting process or someone that knows them closely or knows them being on the outside of their social network if you will on the fringes or knows them through the internet postings. i don't think it tells us a whole lot. i think the biggest concern right now is they have a lot of evidence and we're 11 days out. it will be to maintain the resource levels where they are now as we go forward because the f.b.i. is really propping this thing up and so is idaho state police. the local police department doesn't have the capability to do forensics and digital, all the interviews and video and the things that need to be done. going forward the resource levels and the number of

analysts they can keep on the case. they're worth their weight in gold. >> julie: they have to make sure they don't spread the resources thin. dan springer said they not only know about the profile of the suspect but the reason why they are not saying that they know without, you know, certainty that one person was targeted is because they don't want to be flooded with more tips. they have gotten over 1,000 tips so far. by releasing that information it could basically waste a lot of their resources that need to be focused on this. what do you believe about the profile? they are not releasing the profile of the suspect. by releasing the profile of the suspect they have mentioned it seems like a young person. they don't know if it's a college student. somebody younger in age. by releasing the profile of the suspect what bad would it do? wouldn't it help? >> it's a balancing act. if they release a profile.

remember, behavioral science is not an exact. it is a guess if you will, an educated guess. i've dealt with it quite a bit over the years. what they don't want to do is lock into a certain profile public aand then it turns out to be a 50-year-old male that doesn't fit the profile they put out. that's exculpatory when you go to trial. the attorney can say you said it was a young person and my client is 50 years old. you want to trigger someone who might have some piece of relevant information but you can't put too much out there because you get so many irrelevant tips and leads or get people who just want attention. you need enough details held back that you can test the credible leads from the not so credible leads, if you will. >> julie: they have a mountain of evidence also to go through which includes dna. if you find dna of the suspect, the blood at the house, if this suspect doesn't have a prior,

how hard is it then to track them using their dna? >> you can't. if they have a prior that means they are in the f.b.i.'s dna database. and if you have a good dna sample you can match it with a person. but if that person is not in the system and all you have to dna profile to match with a suspect that you may come up with or to eliminate somebody from the list of suspects. but remember, dna can get mixed when there is a lot of blood and fluids on the scene all mixed together it gets very hard if you only have a mixed profile or partial profile. so at this point the fact that they haven't identified somebody tells me the person hasn't been arrested or they don't have a good dna profile. >> julie: i was thinking the same. here is the tip line there. if anyone has any credible information, please give that number a call.

chris, thank you. >> griff: julie, democrat senators demand the justice department hold ftx accountable for what they say are disturbing allegations. they want d.o.j. to follow through with the promise to prosecute white color criminals with the utmost scrutiny. edward lawrence is live in washington. what's going on? >> this is another investigation that's just as big as the ones going on that you just talked about in idaho and other places. u.s. investigators are trying to piece together where all the ftx money went with sam bankman-fried. i talked to a forensic accountant. he says there are eerie similarities. >> the companies were audited by a small audit firm. that should have been a huge red

flag and as is typical in frauds, they keep people at bay. so you have a couple of trusted people that are close to you to perpetrate the fraud. everybody else is kept at bay what's going on inside. no internal controls because a few people are controlling everything. >> he says it could be 6 to 8 months until investigators get a handle on where the money went and then try to pay back creditors after that. >> it is one thing when you have the books. another thing when the records aren't available and you have to start reconstructing. it is a chaotic scene now inside the ftx offices trying to go through emails, deleted emails. all the things we dealt with during the madoff case. >> 10 billion was moved from ftx customers to alameda research, the hedge fund to prop up losses

there. also bankman-fried used $3 hundred million to buy homes for himself, parents and senior staff at ftx. there could be more than 1 million people that ftx owes money to. >> griff: accountability is coming. edward lawrence live in washington. thank you. shortage of pilots colliding with the busiest travel week of the year. what that could mean for millions of americans trying to get home. >> julie: the border crisis is not going anywhere any time soon. how republicans are now planning to force the white house into action. when tough pain hits, hit back with fast and powerful pain relief. advil provides longer-lasting relief than tylenol extra strength and treats pain caused by inflammation directly at the source.

so get tough on pain and advil the pain away.

>> they wanted an open border and campaigned on it and he has

delivered and he is okay to talk a lie. >> julie: former ice director on republicans asking dhs secretary mayor yeas to resign off his handling of the border crisis and threatening to impeach him drawing a response from dhs. christina coleman has more from los angeles. he has no intention of resigning. this should be interesting. i don't know where this is headed. >> interesting to say the least. he is definitely not stepping down. as mccarthy calls him in to do so dhs continues to defend him saying he is proud to advance the noble mission of his department. the humanitarian crisis at the southern border continues and it is impacting other parts of the country. take a look at this video. the fox affiliate in philadelphia is reporting that two buses with 80 migrantsry arrived in philly this morning. this would be the third and fourth buses of migrants sent to

the democrat-run state by texas republican governor greg abbott drawing more attention to the critical issue. no break in illegal activity at the border this week. look at this video from yesterday. thanksgiving day authorities say texas state troopers and border agents stopped an 18-year-old from trying to smuggle migrants in a neighborhood in mission, texas. they located three migrants in the brush trying to get to houston. house minority leader kevin mccarthy cited the human smuggling at the border when he visited el paso, texas on tuesday. he was with a delegation of republican congressmen. gonzalez says he hosted mccarthy three times during the border visits. >> what i've seen is things constantly get worse. they go from bad to worse. one of the glaring issues is right now 14 border patrol agents have committed suicide to date. this is an historic number.

i'm seeing the border patrol agents break. they are beyond the breaking point. this should bring us all together. it frustrates me to no end the biden administration won't take my call. they continue to turn a blind eye to all of this. >> in addition to calling for mayorkas to resign kevin mccarthy said as speaker he would hold congressional hearings so democrats can't deny what's happening. >> griff: for more on this let's bring in the former border patrol chief rodney scott. chief, great to see you. thank you for taking time. let's get right into these numbers going back to when you were in charge going back to 2020 fiscal year just under 460,000 there. then, of course, last fiscal year 2022 increased all the way to record-breaking numbers nearly 2.4 million. i am told already there is

350,000 encounters just this fiscal year since october 1st. what is your sense when we hear the incoming leader kevin mccarthy who may be the speaker going to el paso and making statements like this? >> his actions have produced the greatest wave of illegal immigration in recorded history. if secretary mayorkas does not resign, house republicans will investigate every order, every action, and every failure. we'll determine whether we can begin impeachment inquiry. >> griff: should mayorkas resign or face impeachment? >> i believe if mayorkas had any credibility or integrity he would resign. people keep talking about we've

lost control of the border. that isn't necessarily true. this administration intentionally gave up control of the border. that border was never more secure than when this administration took over. even when we did have surges there were meetings every day and we talked about how can we protect america by slowing down this flow and making sure we control who crosses the border, not the cartels? this administration gave complete and total control of the border to the mexican cartels. the secretary is responsible for securing the border and he needs to be held accountable. he keeps saying the border is more secure than ever. he completely ignores what he gets briefed on daily which is how many miles of border are not pat rolled now, how many gotaways there are every single day and now we talk about detailing air marshals to the border. you won't arrest your way out of the problem. he needs to detail judges to the border and detain people crossing the border until they have had due process instead of

releasing him. this problem would go away overnight. he needs to be held accountable. >> griff: mccarthy talked about holding hearings. i think you would be a great witness and i hope they call when. when you retired you gave an extensive insight into why it was a national security issue. it has gotten worse. but let me ask you, who should mccarthy call to these border hearings? who needs to appear and go on record? >> i think currently i have some historical knowledge, of course, the beginning of the administration and how some of the decisions were or were not made. current government employees, current border security professionals within the government, they have the ins and outs and know now what's going on more than even i do and they want to speak out. but they are under gag orders by this administration and not allowed to talk to reporters. you hardly see any leadership from border patrol or cbp or ice

spinning publicly. this administration doesn't want the truth out there. i think the hearings should focus on -- >> griff: i hope that they call the chiefs of all nine border sectors and put them on record on the rolls to find out how many border patrol agents were on the line and how many were driving buses and babysitting with the numbers coming across. chief, thank you for your insight and i hope to see you at those hearings. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> julie: both sides in the georgia senate runoff are pinning all their hopes on victory as democrats battle for full control of the senate. why a win by walker would serve as a break on their power in a senate split evenly at 50/50. a lot riding on this race. it is the busiest travel time of the year. jeff flock is live at the airport in philadelphia.

>> griff: airports are running smoothly as millions of americans travel this holiday weekend. over 3 million people are getting ready to head home this weekend despite packed airports, fewer flight options and pilot shortages things have been going pretty well so far. jeff flock with fox business is live in philadelphia. what can people expect? >> it's man bites dog out here. something we didn't expect. you get a sense of what holiday

travel looks like. it is great day to travel. talking with the family with the kids, dogs and whatever else they've got. a great day to travel. today not a lot in terms of delays or cancellations. maybe we take you over to the board and you see at philadelphia international pretty much everything is on time. a couple delays. look at the nationwide numbers. today so far 23 cancellations, 650 delays. that's pretty small pickings compared to what it normally is over the holidays. 1.4 million people through tsa checkpoints yesterday. that's a slight uptick. why are things going so well so far? they reduced schedules. not as many flights and haven't under promised and under delivered. the ranks have more people in reserve and they say that remote work means people can flex their travel and not travel at those busy days. united, by the way, says it has

hired 15,000 employees or will be the end of the year. delta 25,000 between this year and last. that said, those reductions in service have really hit regional airports hard. 324 airports since 2019 have lost flights. 60 of them have lost half their flights and 14 airports now have no service at all anymore. also because of those reduced schedules, the costs have gone up. looking at christmas travel, hopper tells us the average flight christmas $463 domestic round-trip. up 39%. the good news is you can go and it is okay, bad news is it's going to cost you. griff and julie. >> griff: glad it's smooth. >> julie: democrats will maintain control of the senate the georgia runoff race between herschel walker and raphael

warnock will determine whether democrats have a true majority. an opinion column in the "wall street journal" pointing out walker can become the republican's defensive mvp if he wins by keeping the senate evenly divided. let's bring in bill mcgurn. always great to see you, bill, happy thanksgiving to you. let me ask you how crucial is this race which will determine if democrats really will have a true majority? >> the way i would put it is that it is crucial but not decisive. democrats will still have working majority with the vice president casting the deciding vote. but there is a huge difference between 50 and 51. it has to do with committee control. what they are able to block.

and also with the republican speaker, it would strengthen the hand. one difference is between 50 and 51. in the last term -- last two years you see one senator, one democratic senator could hold up anything. that would be gone if they got 51 seats. so i think republicans really have a stake in herschel walker's victory. >> julie: with an evenly divided senate any single democrat can prevent legislation from passing without republican support. what you just said. even when the hold-out gives in, the result may be less extreme as when west virginia's joe manchin brought the cost of the inflation reduction down. a separate infay structure

piece. the lame duck conference is trying to push through massive spending bills before republicans take control of the house in january. if they do not successfully achieve that, how big of a difference will this mean in the senate race in georgia whether or not these spending bills eventually make it to the senate? right now they don't have bipartisan support whatsoever on this massive spending. >> that is a big question. that's the significance of the race. georgia is determining the agenda in washington. whether it will glide through or whether there will be real questions about the spending that helped bring us the inflation and a lot of other biden policies that are anti-growth and have put chains on the economy. there is a lot at stake. it is a national election. it is not just about georgia. it is about the president's agenda and whether you think it should go through easily or whether you want to see people

trying to block it or at least neuter it a little and make it more favorable. >> julie: all right, neuter it. i like that comparison. thank you very much. happy thanksgiving. >> thank you, julie. >> griff: robo cops could soon become killers on the main streets of san francisco. what city leaders are considering and what it means for safety. plus a growing push in a major city run by democrats to bring back mask mandates. a live update next. >> masking may have some value but mandates cause tremendous harm. i think public education is the key here, not mandates. makes every day... a "let's dig in" day... mm. ...a "chow down" day... a "take a big bite" day... a "perfectly delicious" day... - mm.

that. doctors say that we could soon see the return of mask mandates in response to a surge in covid cases. they are warning of an uptick in spread as gatherings and travel increase over the holiday season. so los angeles county is strongly recommending people mask up. it is not a mandate yet. but they are recommending people to mask up again as covid cases have reached 100 per 100,000. senior correspondent steve harrigan is live with this story this morning. >> good morning, julie. masks making a comeback in parts of the u.s. you mentioned los angeles county. the local rate of infection for covid there has gone up by more than 50% since the start of november. at this point local officials are strongly recommending that people wear masks in public places but no mandate there yet. because covid is now being accompanied by the start of the flu season and rsv, a lot of

medical professionals are suggesting it might be time for some americans to reconsider wearing masks again. >> it is true that covid is just smoldering along, but now we have rsv and we have influenza surging in most of the country. those are also very, very serious viruses. so it seems a reasonable thing to do if you are going out in public, put back that mask. and do some social distancing. this may be the time to rent the movie rather than going to the movie. >> the department of health and human services commissioned a study that suggested americans should be encouraged to wear masks again in public places. it did not call for a mask mandate. health professionals will careful to make a big distinction between voluntarily encouraging people to wear a mask and a mask mandate.

there is a big gap between those two. >> the mask is a polarizing way to go. a mask mandate is a different type of thing. mandate is different than voluntarily wearing a mask. >> right now across the u.s. the average daily rate of infection reported cases about 40,000 a day. that's up about 7% in the past two weeks. julie, back to you. >> julie: thank you very much. griff. >> griff: for more on this let's bring in dr. marty makary a johns hopkins professor and fox news contributor. you heard steve harrigan's report cases are up. are mask mandates coming back and should they? >> well, there are private organizations that do still require masks. i think a lot of people are apprehensive about mask mandates coming back because the worst thing you can do in public health is keep restrictions in place longer than they are absolutely necessary. we have a state of emergency coming on three years and if you

look at the people who are in the hospital, they are not in the hospital with covid-19. they are in the hospital with rsv and influenza. my concern is mask have become so polarized we've lost sight of the true purpose of a mask. somebody who has symptoms and is in public should be wearing a high-quality mask. never going back to the days when you are coughing and sneezing and slobbering on somebody next to you in a conference room or on public transportation. >> griff: it is interesting you point out it has become politicized. but is it perhaps best personal option that people should be making? and do you foresee a fight coming over these masks going back on? >> i do perceive a fight coming on. unfortunately covid restrictions and mask requirements hit those who are most defenseless in the public sphere, that is children. if you look at those who are

wearing masks as a requirement at the end of last spring, it wasn't doctors and their doctors conferences. doctors were not wearing masks in close gatherings, it was children in schools and waiters and waitresses. so i'm concerned that mask mandates are disimportant portion naturally affecting those at lowest risk. cloth masks don't work well. those wearing masks who should be those who have symptoms and are immuneal suppressed. that time is right now. >> griff: let's go from covid to the measles are an imminent threat. we can show the early signs that it begins with a high fever,

cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes. what is the assessment of the measles threat? >> 40 million children have missed their vaccination because of covid either because clinics were closed or people were discouraged from leaving their homes or there is distrust in the cdc and government after they put out such strong recommendations with poor evidence for vaccine boost steers in young, healthy children. they used so much arrogance in putting out that recommendation a lot of people don't trust the cdc. my concern is that people who should be getting the measles vaccine are not getting it. measles still kills people every year and we have 40 million children in the world not covered by vaccination. those outbreaks will continue while we don't have the final numbers for this year, it does appear as if the number of

outbreaks is on the rise even columbus, ohio has reported 24 cases. >> griff: not good news. always appreciate your great insight. dr. makary, thank you. julie. >> julie: the term may be winding down but it is not stopping congress from trying to jam through billions of dollars in new spending. what that could mean for an economy already hurting from inflation. and a violent start to the holiday season right here in new york city. is crime convincing some tourists to steer clear of the big apple? next. contestants ready? go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. 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.
