>> i thought we were going to talk about stuff. i have no words, really, except i know that prayer really is powerful in our lives. it's a vital tool and a world that hopes that we will give up and we will never give up and i love the renewal of faith people say they are having reading my book. you all bless me, i'm so grateful. >> amen. >> amazing, amazing. >> faith still moves mountains by harris falkner. get it already if you have not already. thanks to everyone, here is "america reports." >> john: thank you, fox news alert, a half a month now since the gruesome murder of four college students in idaho. they have not named a suspect or motive. >> sandra: as classes resume, will dna provide crucial clues for police. mark marciano is here with his

analysis. >> i am very pleased to announce a tentative labor agreement between the railway workers and companies. agreement is a big win for america. >> john: remember that, two months ago president biden was in a celebratory mood over striking a deal, but the rose garden victory lap is pretty mature after the deal was rejected by workers in four of the unions. great to be back with you after the thanksgiving holiday. >> poinsettias are on set. time is running out to reach an agreement could cripple the supply chain and cost the economy $2 billion per day. it is unclear who is at the helm from the biden administration to steer those negotiations in the right direction. >> john: and the looming rail

strike is not the only economic headache for the white house. massive protests have erupted across china over xi jinping's strict covid lockdown policies causing disruptions in some of the most critical tech factories just as the busy holiday shopping season begins. >> sandra: we have complete coverage. steve moore on whether president biden or congress needs to step in in the rail negotiations. but connell mcshane has the impact of the protests in china. are they having an impact on the global economy? >> john: to madison alworth live from a rail yard in the bronx, and what would the disruption have on the economy and the looming christmas holidays? >> john, you know the stakes could not be higher when it comes to these negotiations as sandra mentioned, we are talking about $2 billion a day if the strike were to happen. this all ahead of the holiday

season. looking at the supply chain and the economy, rail, that's about 30% of cargo travels over our train lines. if those went off the market, it would be near impossible to replace. around a half million trucks would be needed to replace rail and with the current trucker shortage, near impossible. shipping experts say companies will not wait for a strike to move orders or cancel them all together. >> no matter what happens on december 9th, there will be a 3 to 4 week impact we'll be able to look back at the traffic patterns for railroads and say this is when they move stuff back and move it, put it right back on the railways. >> so a strike would not impact the holiday toys currently on the shelves, but if you are relying on a shipping company like ups to get your gifts to loved ones out of state there could be a delay as companies proactively shift two trucks

versus rail as they anticipate the change. a strike is set for december 9th. what i'm hearing from experts, movements could happen as early as december 1st and because they need to move off of rail and on to trucks with the delays, you can see the impacts immediately. the next two weeks are going to be crucial in these negotiations, john. >> john: madison alworth, thank you. >> sandra: tensions are boiling over in china as new covid lockdowns spark massive anti-government protests, new fears of a global supply chain slow down during the shopping season. connell, good to have you here today. do we know much about what economic impact the protests will have? >> a little bit, but not completely. xi jinping, he's facing the most significant round of protests in the decade he's been in power. so this is in that sense unprecedented, and there is even people in the streets calling for him to step down. backlash is building to his 0

covid policies and we have seen some reports of a police crackdown in cities like shanghai but it's not # hundred% clear how xi will handle this, the protests are spreading, and we are watching and gauging the economic fallout. most of the china watchers seem to agree, it's uncertain. certainly we have already seen a slowdown of the chinese economy, so much so charles schwab analysts are pointing out that china has not closed the economic gap with the u.s. it's hurting china, hurting their economy but it also could be a threat to american companies like apple. iphone production could take a 10% hit just this quarter. and it all depends how things go in china over the next few weeks, and that's part of the fallout from the clashes between the workers and police at the foxcon factories where the iphones are made.

that was last week. the protest movement has taken to a new level over the weekend. fire in the high rise building was blamed partly on covid restrictions, the government denied it had anything to do with the slow response from the firefighters, but the protests were spreading. sandra, reports the chinese authorities today, today being monday, of coming in on a monday and starting to tighten up control or regain control in some of these cities, but it's so fluid right now that you know, we just don't know how much economic impact there will be but we do know we have already seen some. >> sandra: watching it all weekend, a changing situation by the hour. we'll keep watching it. connell, thank you. john. >> john: thank you. for more on this, steve moore, former trump adviser. we played the sound from joe biden a few months ago and thought the whole thing was off the table. what happened? >> yeah, where was that, mission accomplish signed over the white

house, it's not accomplished and suspicious they had the deal to get through the election, john, the midterm elections and as soon as the elections were over, now you have this rail strike with respect to labor. it's very simple. these workers and the union are fed up with the high inflation, and this is happening not just in the rail workers but workers and the country. more strikes in 2023. when you have 8% inflation and people are falling behind, when wages are only rising by 5% and inflation is up 8%, people are falling further behind. so the economic implications, if this rail strike happens, will be devastating. >> john: what will the implications be, and could happen as soon as december 9th. union says we don't want to go on strike but unions always say that before they go on strike. and we were just talking bit. 194,000 barrels of oil moves

across the country, so just losing that could affect the price of gasoline. >> and our coal, almost all transported by rail, and then just the goods and products that we get, you know, everything from our food to our christmas presents gifts will be transported by rail and this will cause gridlock in the system. if you think we have supply chain problems now, john, wait until you have the rail system shut down. i don't want to be apocalyptic, i think there is a decent chance there will be, if they don't get a deal, that congress could intervene. >> john: should congress intervene? >> in this case it could be an emergency to the american economy. i'm not a constitutional scholar but i think they would have the authority to require these people to go back on the job. >> john: another big looming problem, china, covid lockdowns, huge protests there. we have thrown so many eggs into this chinese pot in terms of manufacturing and supply chain. do we need to start diversifying and now?

>> i think this, what's going on in china right now with the supply chain problems like you said with the chips and the cell phones and so much of other products, i think there will be a call in washington in the next six months to decouple, that's the word, decouple from china. we have always thought of them as being a kind of reliable source for the products and services but maybe they are not so much anymore. and by the way, china -- this is the third year of covid, john. and they are still having the lockdowns. i'm really worried about what's going to happen -- wouldn't it be interesting, ironic if covid ended up being the end of the communist regime there because you've got people protesting in the streets, they are calling for xi to be removed from office, i mean -- i hope this doesn't lead to another tiananmen square. >> john: he's not about to go gently into the night. and chevron into venezuela, what

newt gingrinch said dealing with the maduro regime. >> one more anti-american act by the biden administration. you know, texas doesn't have a dictatorship problem, north dakota doesn't, west virginia, why is it the place they select to buy more oil happens to have a dictatorship. watch them with iran, saudi arabia, you see the biden administration make decisions which hurt americans. >> john: we have plenty of oil in the ground here. >> sure do. to summarize what speaker gingrinch was saying, what biden has put in place, put america last energy policy. we have more oil, more gas, more coal than any other country in the world, john. if we were just sticking with the trump policies, we would be producing about 2 million more barrels a day, so we wouldn't have to go to venezuela, wouldn't have to go to countries like iran and don't forget

russia, by the way. they are profiting from these anti-america emergency policies as well. we have to be putting america first. we were exporting oil and gas two years ago, now we are importing it from these companies. >> john: oh, there you go thinking about the good old days. good to have you kick us off today. and more on this coming up, sandra, with your favorite expert on oil and gas. >> sandra: we'll talk to phil flynn about this. obviously there are huge opportunities right here at home on american soil to, you know, undo some of these regulations, make it easier to produce this oil and energy back here at home and that is clearly not the route this administration is it going and turning to venezuela, and remember when the reports first emerged that this would be the case, when we ran out of options like the spr so depleted, and that they could turn to venezuela for more energy, and that was denied by

the white house and here we are. phil flynn in chicago, a great markets guest on that coming up. another progressive prosecutor in the middle of a crime crisis. manhattan district attorney holding firm on the policies that let more criminals on the streets. leo terrell will explain why the odds are in a criminal's favorite here in the big apple. >> john: and more than two weeks since the murder of four university of idaho students. does dna evidence hold the key? talk to a leading dna forensic expert coming up. >> we are making progress in this case and you know, that's kind of where we're at. we are definitely making progress in the case and continuing to move forward. ash? with the newday 100 loan, there are no upfront costs for appraisal or termite inspections. no upfront costs at all to get the cash you need. veterans get more at newday.

in a recent clinical study, patients using salonpas patch reported reductions in pain severity, using less or a lot less oral pain medicines. and improved quality of life. that's why we recommend salonpas. it's good medicine.

>> john: hunt for the university of idaho killer stretching into a third week, and police are no closer to finding or even naming a suspect. that is not stopping the university from resuming inclasses. live in moscow, idaho, what's the latest you are hearing from police there? >> john, this campus, a lot of students cleared out after the homicide two weeks ago, but today a mot more students walking around with backpacks heading to class. also more security, you can see the security guard lined me, they have contracted out. more police driving around here, trying to make the students feel safe as they come back to classes, but you mentioned we still don't have a suspect, we do not have a person of interest named, so police aren't getting

very far in this investigation, at least that they are sharing with us publicly. we saw investigators working well into the night at the moscow police department. this whole weekend, much of the effort is taking the analysis from the forensic evidence and piecing it together to come up with a suspect. we did see a little activity at the murder scene, the fbi behavioral analysis unit did show up once, they were in and around the house. whatever profile they have established on the killer, they are only sharing it with investigators, not publicly. they don't want to get boxed into having one profile. the big thing now is did they get any hits in the criminal databases for dna left in the house by the killer and what do they know from a possible footprint or fingerprint. we are seeing students returning to campus with classes resuming the break. students have the option to finish at home online if they don't feel comfortable coming back right now. those who do return will likely

show up for a candlelight vigil for the four victims on wednesday. this was postponed because so many students left right after the murders and the community is on edge. the police put out a little bit of a news release last night saying they have been inundated with phone calls from people who have seen suspicious behavior or unusual behavior, they have had 78 calls like that since the murders two weeks ago, to put in context, for all of october they had 70. so, a lot more people feeling a lot less safe around here, more uneasy, and so they are calling the police with that type of stuff. we are seeing more campus security and we are seeing more students back on campus than last week. john. >> i'm sure that extra security is giving people a sense of security. dan, thank you. we were talking about this earlier today, sandra, it's hard to believe the murder of four people in a single household while two other people were at home has not resulted in more

developments in terms of investigation. >> sandra: absolutely. we will have someone dig into this, john, a lot of this does not make sense at this point. we'll get his analysis coming up. >> john: looking forward to that. >> sandra: reaction still. >> doesn't make sense to continue to overregulate the american producer and then go to venezuela. >> texas has a heck of a lot more democracy than venezuela. so, you know, i think it's an excuse trying to find justification for doing something that does not make sense. >> sandra: some of the reaction pouring in after the biden administration turns to an adversary for oil, rather than boosting production here at home. allowing chevron to resume pumping oil in venezuela after the treasury department previously cracked down on the practice which financially helped the corrupt maduro

regime. phil, good to have you here today. when i say the criticism of this decision is coming in fast and furious, you heard steve moore saying this decision makes no sense boston herald saying biden is against climate destroying fossil fuels, the ones produced in the united states. that is. the wall street journal today, biden's dirty oil deal with venezuela. the government thinks you are a fool, and not only because it waited until americans were en route to grandma's house, allied with iran, or expects you to believe venezuela is considering a return to free elections in exchange. what the heck do we get out of this deal and why the heck can't we use our oil here at home? >> we don't get anything, sandra. we get less energy security and a world that's more dangerous. and parse and parcel of the

biden administration policy when it comes to energy. you know, they want to give billions of dollars in energy reparations to other countries, they want to prop up dictators like in venezuela, like in iran, but at the same time, penalize the u.s. oil worker and the u.s., you know, emergency producer here at home and try to tell everybody hey, look, we are saving the planet, when in reality, every policy has done more damage to the environment than it has to help it. >> sandra: that is a brutal reality that so many face right now. these are just some of the lawmakers calling out the biden administration for lifting oil sanctions. andy biggs, ted cruz, but you've had lawmakers from both sides of the oil take issue with this. gas prices as a national average are coming down, 3.54, the latest from aaa.

but still up 48% since president biden took office, and phil, as you and i were just noting a moment ago, oil prices, worth noting, are at their lowest levels of the year. so, you got to make sense of the timing of this too. >> you really do. listen, the oil prices have come down, not because, you know, we are producing a lot more oil here at home, it's coming down because we are seeing a major shutdown in places like china where demand is not there. and i caution americans to get too comfortable with this drop in gasoline prices because i don't think it's going to last, right. i think there has been a few factors here that have driven down prices in the short-term, but to think that we are like oversupplied with energy, that is not the case. inventory is the tightest in decades. even though we have seen a pullback in the short-term, a cold winter or disruption

anywhere in the globe, these prices are bound to go rocketing right back up. >> sandra: makes me want to ask the question, how are the reserves doing, right? we did not get here by boosting production, but tapping the strategic petroleum reserve, not once, not twice, but multiple times to bring prices down and still 48% higher than when the president took office. the winter heating months, a reality many face right now, those on a fixed income are already speaking up about this struggle. i mean, you've got home heating oil prices surging year over year. you are looking at almost a $3 gain per gallon, phil, that's tough. that's really tough for a lot of people. >> it really is. shortage, a lot of people filled up the tank early and drove up prices, and that's a good thing as long as it does not get cold. if we get an early cold winter

we have to tap into the supplies again, then prices are going to go up. and you brought up the term, what about the reserves? i was going to say what about the reserves, they are gone. >> sandra: depleted. >> cleaned out the bullpen and don't have anything to bring on if we need it. >> sandra: good to see you. see you soon. >> john: sandra, lifesaving medications in short supply at pharmacies across the country. americans struggling to track down prescriptions. why drugstores say they can't keep their shelves stocked. >> sandra: and manhattan's district attorney under fire as a new report finds crime surging under his watch. are there consequences coming for him? leo terrell says look at the election results to find out. he'll join us next. >> as long as someone like alvin is there, new york city will never be as safe as it was.

>> sandra: here in new york city crime is up by but convictions are down dramatically, critics say in large part by soft on crime policies put in place by the local d.a. leo terrell joining us in a moment. bryan, what do the latest numbers tell us? >> sandra, good afternoon. under manhattan's d.a., alvin bragg, more felony cases are downgraded as misdemeanors and misdemeanors are not being successfully prosecuted. according to the data on the d.a.'s website, his tenure this year compared to 2019, pre-pandemic, as well as under d.a. cyrus vance. 52% of felony cases downgraded to simple misdemeanors, up from 39% in 2019. only 29% of those misdemeanor

cases under bragg resulted in convictions, dropped from 53% conviction rate in 2019. all going as planned. a controversial day one memo, he ordered his prosecutors to downgrade felonies and stop seeking prison sentences in many crimes. now in a statement, his office said we have prosecuted 459 more felonies this year compared to last, we have three times as many gun convictions so far this year, compared to all of 2019. we will continue prosecuting violence drivers and prioritizing safety and fairness in every case. victims' rights activists, though, are not buying it. >> it's disgusting that we see that these charges are not only downgraded but then the misdemeanors that they are downgraded to from felonies are not prosecuted properly. i mean, at what point does he

stop with the public defender mentality and start doing his job and being the voice of victims in manhattan. >> total crime in the city is up 28%, and as a new york post editorial board puts it, they cannot say how much is because of bragg but "clearly plainly a huge part of the problem." >> sandra: bryan, thank you. >> john: let's bring in fox news contributor leo terrell, put the statistics the new york post put on the screen and comparatively, leo, and then remark on them. 52% of cases downgraded to misdemeanors, 39% in 2019. convictions on felonies, 51% of the time, down from 68% in 2019. decline to prosecute, 35% of felony cases, and requested bail in just 49% of felony cases, down from 69% in 2019.

when you look at those statistic, what do you think is going on there at the manhattan d.a.'s office? >> first of all, those numbers are shocking and dangerous for holiday shoppers, john, in new york city. i've been a civil rights lawyer and criminal lawyer over 30 years. those are prosecution discretion numbers. downgrading felonies to misdemeanor. felony convictions and misdemeanor conviction, he's losing 3-1, and 50/50 chance he will lose felony conviction. the criminal will say i'll go to trial, i have a great chance to get off. abandoned the ability to prosecute to act as a deterrent, he's lost it and intentionally. downgraded the felonies to misdemeanors, the crimes are still serious but he's lowered the standard for the conviction.

and it's just scary for all individuals who live in the city of new york. >> john: as we saw in the fine report a moment ago, alvin bragg's office is pushing back against all of this saying look, you are comparing statistics during covid to statistics now, we are still having some problems getting things back on track. here is what eugene o'donnell, professor of criminal justice at john jake college, and ex-nypd and former prosecutor, the real question at this point is why do you have a d.a.'s office? why is the -- what is the d.a. office there for? the guy is anti-punishment, anti-responsibility, these numbers reflect that. i mean, the d.a., he sets the tone, he or she in that case, sets the tone and then delivers the marching orders from on high. is this nothing but flow through

from alvin bragg's head? >> john, let me be clear. it is insulting to use covid as a justification for the assaults on the subway, the murders, stabbings. that is not the motivation for these crimes that are felonies and misdemeanor. secondly, alvin bragg is a public defender dressed as a district attorney. he is not interested in the victim. he is trying to basically open the jails and basically allow criminals to run the street and they are. i cannot stress the point when he has the discretion to change a felony to a misdemeanor, he's giving a criminal a pass to leave and walk. and his conviction rate is horrible. good d.a.s usually convict 70 to 80%. and those are just outright facts. he has no intention of prosecuting criminals, john. that's just the bottom line. and last point, john, he got a

pass when lee zeldin did not win that election. if he did, that buy would be out of office. >> john: one perpetrator probably not walking the streets ever again is the shooter in the horrible top shooting in buffalo. he pled guilty, hate crime, attempted murder as a hate crime and domestic terrorism. under new york law, the rest of his life in jail but could face potential death penalty charges tr hands of federal prosecutors. >> the only thing i can say, thank goodness that case is -- it was a horrible situation, thank goodness alvin bragg did not have his paws on that case. that case is outside of his jurisdiction. >> leo terrell, good to talk to you, thanks so much for your thoughts. >> sandra: ukraine still in a fight for its life, but some republicans are resisting

sending any more aid. douglas murray just back from the war zone says he'll join us on why he says the gop has to get behind ukraine if putin is to be defeated. >> and if you have not started your christmas shopping, the $39 billion toy industry wants you to get on it. some careful shoppers waiting for last minute deals. shipping and budget concerns hang over the season. jay foreman will tell us why we could be in for a wild shopping season. enses are rising fast and we all need cash. get the cash you need at newday usa. $99,700: approved! by using your va home loan benefit, you could get approved for an average of $60,000. i got $68,461. credit concerns? call newday. when banks say no to a veteran, newday can say... approved!

this comes as he previewed a series of changes coming for "twitter 2.0." mean while, musk is hinting he may release censorship, says internal discussions to censor the story is necessary to restore public trust. wouldn't that be something, john. >> john: nothing like being a fly on the wall, you have to wonder what they were thinking b the story ultimately turned out to be true. >> sandra: and some are only realizing that fact and something to see what happens with the twitter user base, you know, are these people who say they are leaving, are they really leaving and he's reporting record number of sign-ups, john, since he has taken over. we'll see. >> john: a lot of bots who a lot of people will be happy to see go, no question about that. sandra, desperate parents across

the country struggling to find crucial antibiotics and other medication for their children. this as health officials declare shortages of several more drugs. grady is live at a pharmacy in naperville, illinois, with the latest on all of this. what is behind this shortage? >> well, john, demand, basically, for a lot of these medications has surged because of rsv, covid, the flu, look at the shelves here at oswald's pharmacy, holes on the shelves and the children's section and of course just over-the-counter medications, we'll get to the prescription ones as well, down here there should be lots of different options in terms of children's tylenol and motrin. and it's your job to deal with the patients who need a prescription filled and you don't have it. it's amoxicillin, some other

prescriptions as well, antibiotics. how are you dealing with this? >> it is difficult with prescriptions, calling in prescriptions for antibiotics, tamiflu, things we can't get. we need to either tell the patients to search around different pharmacies or have their doctor prescribe something different, similar in the same class or different class that is effective for the illness. >> has to be frustrating, johnson & johnson, they say some products are less readily available due to the increased demand, but we are not experiencing an overall shortage of children's tylenol. just quickly, it seems to me if you look at the shelves there's a shortage. >> yeah, to me, i see a shortage because the demand is just really high right now. maybe the supply has not changed but with flu, covid, rsv, you know, all these viral infections

lead to bacterial infections. >> and what we are hearing, the shortages could last for months. >> john: i remember a number of years ago huge shortages as well, and to see it coming back again on top of everything else that folks are dealing with, it really makes life tough in some circumstances. grady, thank you so much. you found any shortages of anything, sandra? >> sandra: i have not, but have not needed anything as far as medications, crossing fingers, knocking on wood. naperville, illinois, right next door to where i grew up, wheaton, illinois, and really populated towns outside of chicago and a lot of kids, suburbs, a lot of families and i've also heard they are in short supply of some basic medicines around there. >> john: the local cvs i go to is a hot mess on the best of days and now with pharmacists having to substitute, swap out drugs and oh, i feel bad for

them. they are inundated as it is. >> sandra: absolutely, and they want to help. it's been two weeks since four college students in idaho have been stabbed to death. no suspect in the case. does dna from the crime scene hold the key? we will ask expert mike marciano. he's joining us next. >> john: in china, demonstrators risking their lives as they call for xi jinping to step down. what the u.s. can or should do in response.

and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability and dependency on the perpetrator. a very widely used word this year. >> sandra: and clear it can happen in any relationship circumstance, between friends and family members, not just in couple relationships. i don't know that i would have made that assumption. >> john: a lot of politicians who engage in gaslighting as well. >> sandra: there you have it. >> in a few days you find out it was someone closely associated with the victims who may be responsible, family member or something else, in this case it's kind of looking further out and talk about the orbit, someone further out perhaps in the orbit who might be responsible for this. >> sandra: investigators in idaho not revealing any new leads to the public regarding the gruesome murder in the off campus house over two weeks ago. as they work through the evidence, how likely are they to

identify a suspect based on their dna testing. mike marciano, director of research at syracuse university forensic and sciences institute. you are more than qualified to answer the questions, but simple analysis at this hour knowing how much time has passed based on your expertise in this area, are you surprised how little we know still? >> thanks for having me. no, i'm not surprised about how little we know. this is an investigation, active criminal investigation. therefore, information is going to be shared among the investigators and may not be released to the public for any variety of reasons. so that is number one. number two, it takes time to go through the amount of evidence they are probably going through right now, trying to analyze and prioritize what pieces of evidence will be the most

probative or valuable to the case. >> sandra: some are suggesting could be the dna. a former fbi special agent on the crime scene. listen. >> this crime scene is going to take time to filter out because you have to remember, there's dna everywhere, there's things, blood everywhere, so things are going to be tainted, and it takes a long time. i would rather see the police take their time and diligently work their way through this than to succumb to peer pressure and can't get to it, nothing to be worried about or make something up. >> sandra: could the authorities tell the public, we know more than we are letting you know we know to protect the ability to find the suspect, so that people don't think this is running so slowly behind, obviously there is speculation that perhaps you know the initial investigation was botched, which certainly may not be the case hopefully. >> well, we could expect the

investigators to share information with us about the status of the investigation, but again, there are reasons to not sharing all information because it could affect the case and their investigation, so it might be great for them to provide more detailed updates, but again, it's an active criminal investigation. more information needs to be -- >> sandra: and they are busy, i want to get this in, too, idaho state police spokesperson telling the public to be aware, guess what, they opened the door to the college students to return to campus, some are choosing not torques -- to, and some are choosing to virtual learn. >> we recognize there is fear in the community. ultimately a person or persons in our community or someone else's community who has committed four murders so people

need to be alert and aware. >> sandra: scary for the students returning to campus for sure. go ahead on that. >> yes, absolutely. so the police agencies likely with federal agencies and the university, i'm sure, are in close communication ensuring the safety of individuals returning to campus. >> sandra: it will come down to the dna, 20 seconds left. do you believe that to be the case? >> it could come down to the dna. a lot of times we see dna evidence is one of the most important pieces of evidence and owing to the type of crime it was where the victim and suspect or perpetrator were in close contact, dna could very well be one of the major pieces. >> sandra: i really appreciate you joining us on all of that. we keep watching for any new information to develop out of that crime scene, appreciate it, sir. thank you. john. >> john: sandra, coming up knew
