safety. officers reminding people to call 911 before notifying friends or family members in case of an emergency. brooke singman joins us to explain. >> brooke: it's been two weeks since the brutal killings of four university of idaho students. police have not named a suspect or motive. students have the option to finish the semester remotely over concerns over a killer being on the loose. authorities say that they are looking for a knife, similar to rambo-style blade like this one. they remain tight-lipped over the investigation. kaylee goncalves's father says he hasn't gotten an update since before thanksgiving and they are tired of being left in the dark. >> they are telling me they can't tell me much, which is frustrating to me, because i've

been very trustworthy. >> brooke: almost no answers from police over what may have happened are swirling, officials warn this case will take time and reiterate their request for patience from the public. >> we just want responsibility and for people to be careful, that is important in this investigation. we have moved forward and made progress in the case, since it is criminal, we can't provide information to the public. >> brooke: here is what is confirmed so far, one victim had defensivund wooes from fighting back. the 911 call came from a surviving roommate inside. the roommates have been cleared as suspects. police have expanded the search to a parking lot and behind their home.

they have combed through tips and conducted 150 interviews, police are expected to hold more interviews as students return from thanksgiving break. >> carley: thank you so much. special agent jonathan gilliam has advice for people looking to stay safe in the area. >> one thing people can do, people should go get a $35 purchase at amazon, a garage -- excuse me, driveway detector, whiches with one little thing that looks out with i think it is ir and has a monitor that goes off. people use them all the time, put that at your front door, door of your bedroom and have that thing in your room and be prepared, have a bright flashlight, blunt objects, if you have concealed weapon permit, get ready for that. don't go out and get wasted, wasted to the point you pass out and don't know what is going on when you get home until they --

i wouldn't advise that at all, but especially until they catch who did this. >> carley: north korea leadser kim jong-un says he intends to develop the world's most nuclear force. earlier this month, kim posed for these photos in front of an intercontinental ballistic missile, which could reach the continental united states. state media claims they underwent a test launch earlier this month. both u.s. and south korea officials warn north korea could be preparing for a nuclear test. >> todd: police clashing with protesters in chinese after 10 people were burned alive after the communist party locked them inside as part of new covid measure. gordon chang joined us earlier with what this could mean for

the communist party. >> it is not just protest against a local official because he is corrupt, this is against xi and the communist party. i think what we will see within a couple years, the party will fail. >> todd: massive protest breaking out across china, whiching wuhan, beijing and shanghai. >> todd: we have a blistering message for the city in peril. >> carley: and "new york times" says republicans are causing political violence we will review the media double standard on attacks caused by the left.

>> carley: twitter ceo elon musk says users sign up for his playoff have reached all-time high. musk touting twitter future as the everything app in presentation about the company given last week. he says platform is averaging two million signups per day and users are spending 8 billion active minutes per day on twitter since he took over. he is encouraging the users to

engage in discourse, the other side has slightly better understanding of your views. he is hitting back against -- writing esg is the devil. >> todd: "new york times" editorial board says republicans are enabling rise of political violence. y requires both political parties to be committed to rule of law and not encourage violence or violent speech. recent episodes of extremism, political violence has come primarily from the right. >> carley: president of district media group and independent women's forum joins us now. beverly, what do you make of this point of view? >> the "new york times" left off some notable examples of left wing violence. for example, the attack on

crisis pregnancy center following the roe v. wade turn. they are correct, all violence is wrong, we should look at any type of violence in a poor way and something that we should be rolling back. the same time, they seem to focus on one side claiming roughly half of the country republicans are responsible for this type of violence and they focus on another part, the idea of free speech. claiming free speech is emotionally charged language and that is where this violence originates from and this is bedrock of democrats and seeing in media institutions, they don't attack violence and look at all examples. they say free speech, when people speak out, that is actual violence and that is damaging, especially from a media institution that should be looking at the importance of

debate and discussion. >> todd: any hope of curtating actual violence, if main-stream media, "new york times" and the like, push thoughts like this? >> i think it is going to be difficult because when you confuse what actual violence is, when you tell people, especially young americans, that speech is violence or silence is violence, you are polarizing the country further. the way to get to the bottom of issues and work through the frns dids we have as americans stem from the ability to have good discourse and debate. the more we attack space as being conduit for violence, we're going to increase violence because people feel they have no recourse other than do something other than talk about the issues. >> carley: the "new york times" condemned trump being allowed back on twitter.

they are calling for the shutdown of free speech, it is quite notable as you are pointing out and this related to dr. fauci, he said yesterday he would testify before congress to definished his record and took a dig at republicans. watch this. >> republican house has said they are going to and that is fine with me. >> you will appear? >> of course, i'm very much in favor of legitimate oversight, they have clearly politicized it. i'm not political at all, it is clear when people are running their campaign with anti-fauci element to, that is ridiculous. >> carley: he says he is not political, the attacks against him are. >> who is surprised dr. fauci is on another media tour, he loves the spotlight and press and will be sad when he leaves his position next month. i think all of us are ready for

him to leave, this is effort by him to try to make upcoming hearings, which are legitimate and people should get answers from dr. fauci, his opinion changed so many people's lives, he's trying to make this about him being a victim, this is a political witchhunt, when he is responsible for so many decisions that did change people's lives. he will make it about him, he's trying to undoplay importance of the hearings and say the republicans are making this political, many of us look at dr. fauci and say he's been political all along. >> todd: beverly, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> carley: air marshals are asking the biden administration to stop sending them to the border and let them protect the skies. >> todd: executive director of the air marshal national council here with an urgent message, that is next.

>> carley: president biden border crisis affecting safety of the skies as air marshals are deployed to the southern border reportedly on humanitarian assignments. the president of the national council calling on congress to let our professional and dedicated air marshals do their job and keep the transportation system safe and secure. executive director of the air marshal council, sonya hightower labosco joins us now. what is your message to the president here? >> good morning, carley, thank you for having us. the message is let's stop another 9/11, we are extremely concerned. there have been numerous incidents within the last two weeks, level 4 -- message is

sir, police replace air marshal on the border, stop taking them out of the sky and let us do the job we were trained to do. >> carley: house minority leader airplanes have air marshals on them and now air marshals are getting sent to the border, house minority leader planes have them now, is there a difference there? >> a huge difference, we have been decimated and depleted, we are on less than 1%. ground-based duties are demolishing our chances at stopping another 9/11. >> carley: fewer than 1%, what was the number before they started getting sent to the border? >> at least 5%. >> carley: do you think the number should be higher than 5%? >> it absolutely should. back in the ''60'ses, no flights

took off without an air marshal. pumping numbers up and bringing the numbers down, right now with the amount aviation security incidentses it is clear we need air marshals in the planes, they don't need transporting vans or handing out water at the border. americans think they are safe on an aircraft and they simply are not. >> carley: highly trained law enforcement officers who sign up for a job to sit on planes and protect people from going from one location to the other. going to the border has nothing to do with their job, how did this transpire and how do the air marshals feel about this task they have been given? >> well, they're very torn, they are dedicated professionals. part of the air marshals feel border patrol is overrun and

feel like their brothers and sisters need assistance. on the other hand, they have a humanitarian heart, we empathyself with what is going on at the border, it does not take away the responsibility to protect aviation domain. they know that they need to be back in the air and need to be flying, we're at the busiest travel point within our nation right now, the busiest season, and you don't have air marshals on planes. >> carley: such a good points, we are in the busiest travel period of the year. your organization wrote a letter to president biden, have you heard back? do you expect to? >> we have not heard back, we wrote him another letter over the weekend because we have a level three and level four incident. level four means they tried to breach the cockpit, level threen moos life-threatening behaviors.

one individual had a straight razor to a passenger's throat. these are serious incidentses, not just an argument or some type of physical confrontation, they are very serious and could have been life-threatening. we are calling on the president and dhs secretary mayorkas to reallocate them to the border. >> carley: maybe pete buttigieg, where does he stand on this? >> he stands nowhere. where is he at even? where is he? i haven't seen him. he hasn't been to the border, where is he? that is question we should all ask him. >> carley: sonya, we understand where you are coming from on this know wo, thank you for speaking out, we appreciate it. >> thank you, carley, have a great day. >> carley: absolutely. senior meteorologist janice dean is here.

>> janice: i see a christmas tree here. >> carley: carley spent all weekend decorating. >> carley: i will take credit for that. >> janice: we have a front moving across the midwest behind that cold air sinks southward and will see snow across west and threat for severe storms. going through the next couple days we will see heavy snow for the west including the northwest and then this is going to sweep the plain states, that front will bring risk for severe storms, including tornados on tuesday and wednesday, that is a big deal we'll talk about through fox weather. snow forecast, two feet of snow, great news for skiers who are skiing this holiday season and see stripe of snow across portions of upper midwest and great lakes and warmer side of the storm relatively speaking will crash into warmer than average temperatures and threat for heavy rainfall, as well as

severe weather including hail, damaging winds and tornados. they need the rain, however the bad side is going to be the threat for flooding and the tornado probability, this is for november and we have a secondary season of severe storms that comes in the fall and could see risk for severe storms tuesday and wednesday across gulf coast region. those are stories we will follow, fairly quiet forecast. 54 in new york city, ahead of that next system, warmer than average temperatures and snow across west. foxweather.com, home for the holidays, christmas season now, hence the christmas tree with my weather update. >> carley: we love it, the tree does not outshine you, though. >> janice: happy monday, my friends. >> todd: remember the woman put

in charge of disinformation? ♪ [singing] ♪ >> todd: oh, my, wait until you hear what she's up to now, joe concha on deck to explain. >> carley: and the big apple seeing big crime, manhattan da alvin bragg downgraded half felony charges to misdemeanors. joe borelli has a lot to say about that, he is live with us next.

>> carley: a small business in portland is forced to shut down over the city's rampant crime. this note reads, we have decided to permanently close, our city is m peril, small businesses cannot sustain, we have no recourse against the criminal behavior that goes unpunished, how about that? she says her store has been burglarized 15 times within a year and a half and had to cover most losses out of pocket. the closure is one of many as store owners sukum to catch and release policy leading to unruly crime. manhattan district attorney alvin bragg fires back at critics as new data shows how

few criminals are being convicted. >> todd: ashley strohmier is here. >> ashley: da alvin bragg ran his campaign on criminal justice reform, in particular when it comes to upholding the law for cash bail on violent crime. his office downgraded 52% of felonies to misdemeanors so far this year for 2022. compare to 2019, his office downgraded 32% of felony cases. three years ago, 53% of new york city misdemeanor resulted in conviction, that number fell to 29% this year. felony cases, 68% led to convictions in 2019. that is down. the da's office doesn't agree and a staffer says this is false data comparison that doesn't take into account challenge of discovery and impact of covid. we prosecuted 459 more felony

this year compared to last and three times as many gun convictions compared to all of 2019. subway felonies increased 40% year over year, alvin bragg called lee zeldin's campaign racist. >> the rhetoric during the campaign was sobering and discouraging. if you look at those ads, which i try to not watch, they appear to be ubiquitous, there were times i was the only black face, what is the message being sent? >> ashley: ashley moody says the policies are hurting everyday americans. >> radical folks in office, their very policies harm the people they profess to protect. if people's intention is to harm

citizens, they cannot stay in the communitieses. >> ashley: nypd latest reporting shows overall crime up 27.6% since last year. >> todd: thank you very much. bring in new york city councilman, joe borelli. felony surged 20% this year compared to 2021, how can new york city ever come back to what it once was if you take your life in your hands every time you hoppa a train? >> joe: it can't. as long as someone like alvin bragg is there, new york city will never be as safe as it was when giuliani and bloomberg and even part of bill de blasio's term. new yorkers are learning you get what you deserve, they overwhelmingly elected this guy, alvin bragg, who promised day one to do exactly what he was doing.

he is not lying, he is not hiding or shameful of how he wants to treat this office and new yorkers elected it and manhattan supported kathy hochul and lee zeldin, her opponent, promised to get rid of alvin bragg. we are in this situation where manh manhattan citizens are causing this problem. >> todd: have city leaders and state leaders gone far enough? the numbers lead me to believe no. >> no issue the police are making as much arrests, if not more than in the years leading up to this year, prosecutors like alvin bragg are dropping sentences from felonies to misdemeanors, that is part of the problem. one thing he said that he is right about, discovery law makes it impossible for prosecutors who want to do their job to convict people on felonies, he is not wrong about that.

what he is wrong about is knee-jerk reaction and policy set in stone in his day one memo which limited his own prosecutor to bring charges against serious criminals. we've always had progressives in new york city, they used to use reasons to be lenient rather than policy without considering facts. >> todd: we heard da alvin bragg say lee zeldin's campaign was racist and comes to that conclusion. you saw the numbers in ashley's piece, the number of convictions, drop precipitously and misdemeanor cases which should be charged as felonies, not a good number you want to have if you are trying to bring crime down. da alvin bragg says the following, this is a false data comparison and doesn't take into account discovery or impact that covid had on our city.

should covid be an excuse, joe? >> joe: no, no, no. the excuse that alvin bragg has given about this basically saying that it is covid or saying lee zeldin's campaign was racist are bizarre, someone promised to decrease number of people convicted of felonies and decrease the number of people convicted of misdemeanors. those things are happening and people are upset and he's trying to shift blame. he is responsible as lee zeldin, if you think about it, crime was number one issue in new york state going into the midterm and primarily crime focused on the streets of manhattan and the subway system of manhattan under his watch and his failure led republicans to make gains in the state. >> new york city bill preventing landlords from doing background

checks is gaining traction, is this a good idea? >> no, landlords and 10 notas do not want this, tenants do not want to be next to people who have done god knows what. most tenantses are happy about that and happy to be safe from people who might rob them or worse. this is a silly bill and i'll bet it will fail like it said last time. >> todd: we will see, joe borelli, thank you, sir. >> carley: crime is taking a big toll on businesses across the country this holiday season. three business owners joined us with how the crisis is impacting them. >> did apprehend the two youngsters that had broken into our store, i mean, basically it was release, slap on the wrist.

>> very frustrating as business owners and property owners, what is going on, they go to jail and 24 hours later they are out. >> we have multiple break-ins, it is not just louisville, just about every major city. >> carley: retail giant target says organized retail crime could cost them $600 million by the end of the year. president biden turning to venezuela for fossil fuel, continuing to ignore resources by pouring taxpayer dollars into socialist regime. >> todd: president of western energy alliance tell us about the dangers cozying up to dictators can lead to when she joins us next. ♪ at adp, we use data-driven insights

flights were delayed saturday and sunday. is on the alone, 67 cancelled, on sunday 6648 delayed. largest share in new york city as rain fell in the area. rainstorms swooping the atlantic region, main culprit, tough day for travelers and atlanta in particular, post holiday travel at the airports almost back to prepandemic levels. >> todd: do planes not have the ability to fly in rain like they used to? am i wrong? >> cheryl: sometimes that rain delay question mark, remember, it is better for the airline if it is a weather delay, for being it ises than if it was some type of other delay as in problems on the ground, flight crew issues. any time airline can say weather, they will take it.

>> carley: good points, in my experience with flying, it is always delayed more during the summer going to chicago than the winter, everybody is like that winter travel season must be so difficult, no, it is summer storms. >> cheryl: summer storms can be brutal and the crush of travelers over the past summer, reveefrj travel was happening and you will see that for thanksgiving and christmas, projection was 2-1/2 million people went through check pointses at the nation's airports. pack your patience and get there early, most airports have restaurants and massages, i can tell you there is everything you want or need pass security, go early and enjoy yourself. >> carley: revenge travel, i like that one. big story here, president biden

decision with chevron, venezuela, give us the latest? >> cheryl: this is controversial decision, sending shock waves in the energy space. biden administration allowing chevron to drill in venezuela. the permit to pump oil in the socialist country despite years of human rights violations by the socialist regime and this, the treasure department welcoming reopening the maduro regime, the united states supports reopening of negotiation between the platform and the maduro regime. our investigation and analysis show the venezuela state rely on intelligence services to suppress decent in the country, grave crime and human rights violation ares committed, torture sexual violence continue

to this day. that coming out the 20th. steven moore is calling out that hypocrisy. >> we will allow chevron to do drilling in venezuela, same administration that won't allow us to do drilling in the united states, not in texas, not in oklahoma, not in alaska or west virginia, but we can pump oil from venezuela, it makes absolutely no sense. it has put america last energy policy. >> cheryl: biden pledged billions in foreign climate aid that includes 860 million to southeast asia and 20 billion to indonesia, let's fight climate change in other kubt radio countries and go to venezuela for oil. >> todd: makes no sense.

bring in kathleen sgamma, president of the western energy alliance, what possible reason could the biden administration have for drilling in venezuela and not texas? >> well, we are drilling in texas, luckily most of the development in texas is on nonfederal lands, but it doesn't make sense to overregulate the american producer and then go to venezuela. so we have several different policies that the biden administration is pursuing on federal land, stopping leasing, stopping pipelines that makes it more difficult to operate in texas and west virginia and colorado, etcetera. it doesn't make sense, only explanation, environmentalists don't like to see it in the united states, we will import some somewhere else and maybe they will be happy. >> carley: biden administration official is responding to criticism and say this action is

not being taken in response to energy prices, this is limited license about the regime taking steps needed to support the restoration of democracy in venezuela. a lot of people are talking about the fact this decision was released on a holiday saturday, probably for good reason. when it comes to climate change, that is something the biden administration is interested in fighting, how does pumping oil in venezuela stack up to pumping oil in the united states? >> i can tell you that texas has a heck of a lot more democracy than venezuela. so i think it is a -- an excuse trying to find justification for doing something that doesn't make sense. we had before the thanksgiving holiday, speaking of bad information on holiday weekend, that put in place seven policies to make it more difficult for us

to produce in north dakota, wyoming and new mexico on federal land issue putting in place more obstacles here on the american producer and suddenly determining that venezuela is beacon of democracy? doesn't make sense. >> todd: the list of atrocities committed by maduro is long, we will put it on the screen. does he think any of these atrocities will stop magically because he's decided to start drilling in venezuela? >> no, we really wish as american producers, we are here in denver and across the west. we really wish they would just let up on some policies that are making it more difficult for the american producer and move forward with approving pipelines in the united states instead of trying to license operations in venezuela. >> carley: thank you for joining

immunity. not to be outdone controller reporter taylor lore rans there is no lasting natural imcommunity covid. can you get covid and covid over and over and over again because of strains and antibodies choosing to not kill up unless of people isn't a critical flaw. joe, is her perspective is she anti-vaccine and and at this lock down. >> that's the case. instead of taylor lorenz going to her editors privately i have a problem with this piece she has to put up a public show to try to embarrass her employer. it's utterly astonishing that this activist who plays a reporter on tv and in print is still employed by the newspaper. think about what she is advocating here for a second. what she supports a communist government that lock people in apartment buildings in one city in an effort to contain covid

and when a fire broke out, 10 people died because firefighters couldn't get to them because the doors were welded shut. there is one chinese city that called -- has isolation camp with 90,000 isolation pods. 90,000. and taylor lorenz this reporter supports all of this. she want the u.s. to impose similar lockdowns here apparently. >> this is the same reporter who claims she got ptsd from mean tweets. chinese people had enough. taking to the streets and risking their own lives protesting these government lockdowns. covid can't be contained and lockdowns are not the answer. "the washington post" has the most prominent face at least on social media saying she supports these measures in china. jeff bezos must sob proud at this point in time. >> she is not alone, joe. so many on you the left seem like they want to live in their parents' basements forever. they never want to go outside

and live in a perpetual state of covid lockdowns in the off chance they get this thing. will people on the left, taylor lorenz included he locked in our homes forever. >> apparently not. thankfully a good majority of americans say no. we want -- we understand that covid is here. we have to learn to deal with it in terms of therapeutics. if we do get it, how to handle getting it. but to stay indoors, i mean, the way you get covid, at least in my household because it's happened three times, is when one person all it takes can is one person brings it honestly and everybody gets it while they are in their homes. have you got to be out and be free and most importantly that's the best thing for businesses and for mental health for that matter. then we heard dr. fauci just over the weekend, todd, talking about how he is not quite sure after the holidays whether schools should be locked down again north if there is enough covid cases. that's not way you go about

this. >> carley: when it comes to what is going on in china, joe. it's unbelievable. people in cities across the country fighting back against an authoritarian regime. president biden so far, i don't believe, has said anything about this. do you expect him to and how important would his messaging be here? >> well, he was in nantucket over the weekend. of course he couldn't be bothered to talk about this, what is going none china. again, where people are dying as a result of being isolated during these lockdowns, but the president of the united states should be standing up like the 45th president to say this is wrong and also by the way ask for answers as to where covid began. was it in that lab in wuhan that studies coronavirus? seems pretty logical. when the president had a chance, president biden that is, he did not not challenge will xi jinping in terms of anything regarding covid. you have to ask why is this president so soft on this particular country where his son made so much money, possibly

illegally influence peddling. i guess we will find out januarw congress takes office and hearings begin on that front. >> carley: january will definitely be a very new year. joe, we appreciate it. >> have a good week, guys. take care. >> todd: quick programming note we will be on outnumbered. it will be something else. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ good time even if it takes all night ♪ gather aren't camp fire ♪ apple pie to moon shine >> steve: we got a camera up on the fourth floor shooting down at the all-american christmas tree at 48th and sixth avenue here in the heart of manhattan on this, the monday afte
