arthel: we begin with a fox news alert. stunning scenes of defiance in china. raging for a third straight day. frustrated and outraged citizens taking to the streets in cities across china blasting the government zero covid policy. the situation reaching a boiling point after many lame lockdowns for slowing rescue efforts in a deadly high-rise fire. hello and welcome.

i am arthel neville. >> i'm brian. and for eric shawn. the past few months have been remarkable. protesters calling for an end to pandemic lockdowns chanting we want freedom. some are even calling for president xi jinping and the communist party to step down. alexandria. >> you would have to look back decades to find such a direct challenge to the chinese government's authority. the situation has escalated where protests resume today. police seen at times shoving demonstrators. calling for an end to continuous lockdowns of repeated covid-19 testing. these rare acts of defiance have been coupled with bold chance. some commanding that xi jinping and his communist party step down.

following thursday's deadly apartment fire. ten were killed and nine injured in an and said that it's come to symbolize the chokehold that residents feel their forced isolation has become. they have been under lockdown since august. similar demonstrations breaking down in cities and college campuses all across the country where pieces of white paper are being used to represent censorship. the toll of extreme lockdowns are more costly than the benefit of trying to contain an uncontainable virus. there had been talk about potentially easing some covid restrictions. it appears the chinese government is doubling down. with china's new case count reaching record levels, the new lockdown was ordered for millions in the city. the same city where i found workers clashed with police last week. bryan: thank you.

this is absolutely the greatest threat to xi jinping since he got into office in 2012, 2013. >> absolutely. you would have to really look back decades. this has been his cornerstone policy. for the entire world to follow. china is the only country with an island of its own. >> really remarkable. >> the world is watching for sure. today marks two weeks to the day since her brutal murders of four idaho college students. still no suspects or any sign of a weapon. this was an "targeted even that. this shaken college town community still trying to figure it out. dan, what more can you tell us. >> two weeks and sees brutal

murders and still no concrete answers. they say they are making significant progress. seasoned detectives tell me that if this thing goes unsolved through christmas, resources will start to pull back and this will be called a cold case. they are told that he was sloppy. he likely left critical evidence behind. all could help identify the suspect or at least narrow the field. any dna left at the scene has probably been analyzed by now and ran through the criminal justice database. a lot of digital evidence has also comment by way of citizens around here. despite police say they have made significant progress, the families are getting frustrated. the father of one was on fox news last night. the family was the first to hand

over computer and phone passwords to help investigators and now he wants more information to help them. >> we have some family passwords that we all share. it is hard for me to give up, as a father, my protected ability to other men. >> we expect to see some students returning to campus today with classes resuming tomorrow for those that feel safe enough to come back. an option of finishing out the semester at home online if they want if they don't feel safe. if they do come back we expect most of the students to show up at a wednesday candlelight vigil for those poor victims. a student body of 11,000 students. it cleared out completely after these murders. the campus was empty the whole week leading up to thanksgiving. we will see how many feel safe enough to come back. arthel: we want to remind everyone of the tip line.

(208)883-7180. if you have any information, you call the idaho police department dan springer, thank you very much. bryan: an arrest warrant is out for the suspect in the death of an american woman found unresponsive at a resort in mexico october 29. a disturbing viral video appears to show another woman brutally eating the victim hours before she died. the fbi has now joined the investigation. christina coleman with the very latest on this story live in los angeles. christina. >> that video definitely disturbing to watch. a vacation is now the center of a potential homicide investigation. prosecutors in mexico are now trying to get an american woman extradited back to mexico to face charges. a 25-year-old american tourist

from charlotte north carolina allegedly died at a rented luxury villa on october 29. her friends reportedly told her mother that she died of alcohol poisoning. robinson's autopsy revealed the cause of death as a severe spinal cord injury along with instability and several vertebra located in her neck. her cause of death clearly very concerning for family and friends, especially after this video, which was obtained by the new york post circulated on social media. it shows a woman who appears to brutally be attacking robinson. robinson's mother identified some of the people in that video as friends of her daughter. also, a man can be heard in this video saying, can you at least fight back. take a listen. >> can you at least fight back.

>> batman does not appear to intervene in that fight, and that short clip that is circulating online. the fbi is investigating this case. hundreds of people showed up to robinson's funeral just over a week ago in north carolina. robinson's father has vowed to figure out what happened to his daughter. in an interview he said he would like all of her friends that robinson traveled with to be sent back to mexico for questioning. >> every last one of them. because, you know, my daughter is not a fighter. i did not raise her to be that way. i raise her to love and respect people. try to make sure you put yourself around people that will not do no bodily harm to you. >> mexican authorities issued an arrest warrant for robinson's friends. they are trying to get this person extradited back to mexico

to face charges. bryan: you have to feel for that father. really disturbing story. >> i cannot even imagine how he feels. let's ring in mary, a retired fbi agent. also the director of george mason university forensic science program. i want to start with this murder what do you think happened? >> well, at this point, it is confusing. based on the videotape and then based on the stories that are friends are giving, there is a huge divergence in terms of what law enforcement is being told. it is even confusing the laws manner of death. is it an accident or did she die as a result of an attack watermark that becomes very critical. people that were involved in it and may have helped to cover up

what happened, they just got caught in it. they will be charged as well. bryan: that is good to hear. they need to be charged as well. so much conflicting behavior. i am not the attorney here, but i would look at premeditated murder a potential charge. can anyone be punished for this cover-up? what other charges could be filed? >> in addition to that it could be lying to police or over here in the united states, they are probably already been interviewed by the fbi. if they lie to the fbi, that is a felony. it is a very serious situation and they may feel that they are so deep into this that they don't know what to do. the fact of the matter is they really have to start telling the truth about what happens. there is legal jeopardy for

them. >> because they are accomplices at this point. you have this guy recording this who does not have the guts to stop it. what is that? can you at least fight back. why don't you stop the fight, first of all. what about him? >> once they identify him, and they probably have, he has moral culpability. depending on what he says after the fact, does he support the possibility or does he support the story that it was alcohol poisoning which means he is probably lying or does he come forward and tell the truth? because his voice is on the video, they gnocchi was there when things were happening. he has very complex liability in the situation. >> i will move on to the other unfortunate murders, what are the charges in this case?

>> depending on what they finally decide, it could be some level of murder. it could be accessory, it could be lying after the fact, it could be cover-up. a variety of charges and probably multiple charges. arthel: okay. i am going to move on now to the brutal murder of the idaho students. at this point it is a forensic puzzle. could some of those pieces be missing meaning compromised in the immediate aftermath of the murders? >> the forensic pieces would be the offender's blood, hairs, fibers, fingerprints, any other kind of physical evidence that the offender left behind. that would be the best evidence that they have. and then there is the behavioral evidence they are looking at as well. they are trying to understand

the crime scene. what do police mean when they say victim has been targeted. i know what i meant when i was in the behavioral analysis unit and i said a victim was targeted i'm not sure they are using the same definition. there are two elements to a crime. they get blended together to understand the scene. the second area that they are looking at is does this offender have a history of going into people's homes and are using that knife in other circumstances. did they use a knife on previous human victims? there is an air of confidence at this offender shows going into a house occupied by six adults. that level of confidence tells me that this person has been in other people's before. that is not a one-time situation the second think that i will say

is this individual came with the knife, they were prepared and comfortable and confident in using. they knew the types of injuries it would inflict on those victims. that is not the first time that this person has use that knife to assault people or other living beings. i think that those are to come up for me, those are two very important aspects to this person's personality. >> very, very interesting. can this case be solved? >> yes. arthel: good. very good. i want both of those cases solve because they are both horrific. thank you very much. bryan: talks to avoid a railroad strike that could cripple our economy kidding a snag. next we will talk with railroad track worker in union leader peter kennedy to get his take on the situation. you are watching fox news live.k ♪n

president biden spending the thanksgiving weekend in nantucket. if it happens, it could cost the economy about $2 billion a day. now some lawmakers are weighing

whether to get congress involved to keep those trains running. lucas thomason is traveling with the president. >> "fox news sunday." congressman brian fitzpatrick says they may need to do this as a last resort. >> they have a very reasonable asked. their benefits have not been on par. the transit freight workers union, they have not had a raise in several years. congress will not let this strike happened, that is for sure. it would be devastating to our economy. >> unions do have a case. if a deal is not reached, they will go on strike december 9. two weeks before christmas. here in nantucket, not just trains on president biden's mind, but donald trump as well

after that controversial meeting >> mr. president, what do you think about mr. trump having dinner with a white nationalist? >> what do you think about it, sir? [inaudible] bryan: the white house also responding in a statement "bigotry hate and anti-semitism have absolutely no place in america including mara lago. it must be forcibly condemned". he has not discussed 2024 with his family. he says he may over the holidays. one person he does not have to worry about is gavin newsom. he says he is not interested. >> i will get enough very topic later. the governor and the president. thank you. bryan: let's bring in peter kennedy railroad track man.

also the director of strategic coordination. representing workers to build and maintain tracks nationwide. thank you for being here, peter. this is what the tentative deal that your union rejected. it brought up a 14% salary hike. a 24% salary hike by the end of this agreement in 2024. the average salary for those that work in freight trains would be $160,000 annually. the top 10% of all industries in this nation. yet the talks have stalled over the sick pay dispute. can you explain to me why your union is one of the four of the 12 unions that decided, you know, they did not want to agree to this deal because of sick pay. >> good afternoon. thank you for having me on. let me clear something up.

the second lowest paid out of the 12. i seen some numbers rolling around out there. they say a maintenance worker makes about 130,000 dollars a year with benefits. a track maintenance worker would have to work over 3000 years a year to make 130,000 dollars if you are including benefits and there. they still will not be anywhere close near that $160,000 a year in income and less they simply live their entire lives out on the railroad. that is exactly what is going on right now. i have watched their coworkers get slashed from the workforce over the last seven years. now they are left maintaining the track structure under pretty much the same rail traffic. doing a lot more work with a lot less people. it's been ruining their lives for the last seven years. the railroads just continue to rankin record offense.

not doing anything to try to improve their worklife balance for the workers. they do not have paid sick days. they need paid sick days because life happens. you have to have some sort of protection against that. >> the emergency board rejected this proposal to add paid sick time. disputes over those issues are best resolved in the arbitration process. a proposal that would create 15 paydays a year. not only labeled as sick leave days would be structured to use on-demand to better balance work life needs and would be personal days i could not be denied for any reason by the carriers. this emergency board recommended not to have paid sick leave. >> yes, they did. let me back up a little bit. the reason we ask for this, when we look back in history are getting tense to be a process or

functioning of history. we've been asking for 15 paid sick days for over five decades now. for over 52 years, to be exact. we've never gotten any of them. since that happened, we have asked for seven paid sick days similar to the structure that exists under the order that provide sick days up to 56 hours per year minimum for any sort of federal government contractor. the railroads, by the way our federal government contractors. somehow railroad workers are exempt from that. we have even offered to voluntarily agree to for paid sick days. the unions are still willing. >> there has been a lot of talk about whether or not your union is using the holidays here as a way to negotiate this. they know the economy is under pressure right now.

what is your response that you guys are doing this with the holidays to help with your negotiation? >> we have no desire to go on strike. we have no desire to interrupt anyone's holidays. we would like nothing more than to be home on the holidays as well. this is a way the process is played out. with that being said, the only thing that i could add to this is if there railroad workers were to go on strike we believe we would be able to obtain paid sick days. it cost about $2 billion a day to the economy if the railroad shut down. we are asking for a little over 10% of that. we are literally asking for 1 penny of every dollar for paid sick days for workers in this industry. what could be more christmas like the enemy ebenezer scrooge's of the world giving some paid sick days. perfect timing for the holiday season. bryan: has a president directly involved himself in this

negotiation as of now? are you okay with congress potentially stepping and if there cannot be a negotiation by september 9. >> i have not spoken personally with president biden. i will say this, the biden administration has been very helpful in administrating discussions within the parties. the railroads woodlot even engage with us. with that being said, we really would not like congress to intervene. our preferences they would voluntarily agree so we can avoid this whole sort of standoff here. if congress does intervene, we hope they side with the workers are not bailout the railroads here. by giving the railroad workers agreements plus seven paid sick days. >> thank you so much for your time today. >> thank you for having me on.

okay california governor reportedly sitting it out in 2024. political reporting that newsom told the white house that he will not challenge president biden. let's bring in john bussey and a fox news contributor. is this the right decision and what does this tell us? >> it is a decision for the moment. anything can happen between now and 2024. i think that there is an instinct to rally around the king. biden is doing a little bit better. the midterms turned fairly positive in general for the democrats. they still have a majority in the senate. he still has his legislative package through inflation starting to tick down. it is a global problem but coming down.

the economy is still growing. it is not a time where i think you will see candidates say i will threaten the king. that could all change. the king may decide he will not run. he will make his decision in early 2023. the other thing that could happen is the global economy and trends could turn against him again. you are reporting earlier about what was going on in china. if they do not get covid under control and you begin to see supply change instructions again , the global inflation problem, is not just the u.s., it is globally, it could get worse. anything could happen between now and 2024. >> you are right about that. i will toss a hail mary pass. i know it is a long time in politics.

given his experience, could they be the candidate in 2028? >> remember how many electoral votes. this is a big steppingstone to national politics. chomping at the bit. he does not want to sit out 2024. he has been pushing for a younger representation at the top of the party. there are a lot of democrats waiting for the same thing. we need to make a change in 2024. on the other hand, things are going in the direction that is not favorable to him. there is a sense within the democratic party that if trump gets traction again, he has the best candidate against him. there seems to be a movement, some moderate republicans towards the stability. contrary to what preceded him.

i do not think that he wants to step in now, i'm sure he's looking to 2028. things could change. you may not have a trump running. you may have a moderate. the democrats may say we don't need biden at the top of the ticket. the other thing that has happened is the democrats have put a lot of young people at the top of the party within congress. nancy poulos he has stepped down you have kind of a diffusing a little bit of that not enough youth at the top of the party issue. that may give some cover for biden to run again. >> interesting. why are we talking about vp harrison this mix? >> i think that we are. sort of has a leg up on any sort of primary if biden were to step

aside. she is the vice president. she has a lot of visibility. she did not do tremendously well in the primaries. she has unfavorable that kind of rank with biden. she has not up the top of the list for democrats. gavin newsom, phil murphy from new jersey, company bashar from minnesota, the governor from michigan, you have a lot of possibilities that could run that have a little bit more tail wind behind them. she is not out of the race by any stretch of the imagination. newsom even says that he would support her because he is a fellow californian. in politics, loyalties change pretty quickly. >> it is so fascinating. you just really do not know what will happen between now and early 2023. it is fascinating. we will be covering it with you. thank you very much. >> you bet.
