♪♪ >> i like that, it's not even friday yet. everybody have a blessed day, you, too. don't forget to set your dvr. for now, "america reports." >> sandra: fox news alert, new developments in the idaho murder mystery, investigators rule out several potential suspects in the gruesome killings of the four students more than three weeks ago. >> john: despite mounting frustration from the victims' families and the college community, they maintain they are making progress in the quest to find the killer. angela, a recent graduate of the college has been covering the case from the very beginning. she will join us with what she is learning from her police sources.

>> why do to a border state and not visit the border? >> because there are more important things going on, invest millions in a new enterprise. >> sandra: that happened a short time ago. fox news pressing the president why he did not go to the border today despite visiting a border state. hello and welcome everyone. sandra smith in new york. great to be with you on this tuesday. >> john: good to be with you as well, nothing more important than spending the next two hours with you. john roberts in washington. the president is heading to arizona but instead of visiting the border he's going to phoenix to a semiconductor factory. >> sandra: working on an immigration proposal to provide a path to legalization for dreamers and increase border security funding. a senate said says that would extend title 42 for least a

year. >> john: marsha blackburn with the answer to that, and mike tobin is live in eagle pass, texas and you have more on how the border union is responding to what the president said on his way to arizona. >> we just heard from the president's lips, why isn't he visiting the border, he has more important things going on. a swift response from brandon judd, nothing is more important than the safety and security of the american people but to president biden it is an afterthought with record number of people and drugs, including deadly fentanyl crossing our border, apparent biden cares more about politics than our children, friends, and neighbors. and the migrants keep coming. late this morning, a group of about 150 showed up in eagle pass, and there is a crisis looming, title 42 set to be repealed, one estimate, if it's gone border traffic would

triple, 18,000 illegal crossings every day. one proposal is to bus them to nearby towns like uvalde, texas. there is no bus station, people would just be dropped at a gas station. and you know the name uvalde from the mass shooting at robb elementary. the mayor says instead of securing the border, the federal government is handing this town one more problem. >> it's like a bomb. it's just a matter of time before we have serious problems and we have enough problems after the robb shooting and the tragedy, trying to get over that, and then add this to it? a recipe for disaster. >> a lot of the high speed chases end up in uvalde and the county, and the town does not need another problem, the schools get locked down. >> john: a bit of a disagreement

over what the president thinks is important, coming from the border patrol council, mike tobin on the border. thank you very much, sandra. >> sandra: tennessee republican senator marsha blackburn, great to see you on this tuesday afternoon. it's hard to believe what the president said just there, and if anybody missed it, play it out. >> why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> because there are more important things going on, they are going to invest millions of dollars in a new enterprise. >> sandra: a lot of things going on, a lot of problems, certainly the border is one of them, senator. >> indeed the border is one of those and making certain we secure the border and the border patrol has been saying for 30 years they need a barrier at the border, they need technology where you cannot get that barrier and they need more officers and agents. it is important to protect this nation, it is important that we stem the flow of illegal immigrants coming into this

country. when you look at the numbers that are crossing and are giving themselves up, when you look at the known got-aways, unknown got-aways, the number of terrorists coming into the country, when you look at the drugs, the drug trafficking, the gangs, the human trafficking, sex trafficking, it is imperative that we get this border secure and the president owes it to the american people. he owes it to the border patrol. he owes it to the citizens of arizona to go there and see firsthand what is going on and he refuses to do it. >> sandra: as far as the reaction we have seen brandon judd put out a statement immediately, you just heard it from mike tobin saying nothing is more important than the safety and security of the american people. but to president biden, he says, that is an afterthought. here is chip roy, the representative from texas's 21st district reacting to the

president. >> sure is something that is critically important to the people of texas and to the immigrants getting abused and dying, 53 in the tractor-trailer san antonio, raped in stash houses in south texas or the 72,000 people that died from fentanyl last year, the moms i have to talk to every day who has lost a loved one, he refuses to secure the southern border. he, mayorkas, all teaming up to endanger americans, and you know, poking his head in the sand is enough. >> sandra: he has to do something about it, says chip roy. do you believe that will ever happen? i mean, growing calls for him to do so, and it's not just republicans anymore. you have seen the democrats in some of the border districts saying the president needs to get down here and see firsthand what is happening. >> that's right. and seeing it firsthand is important because right now it appears that it is very intentional for this administration to ignore the border, to leave it wide open,

to let people come in. and it is imperative to protect the people of this country. when you talk to these parents that have lost their children to drugs, when you talk to law enforcement officers, you realize every town in this country is a border town. every state is a border state because of all the drugs, the trafficking, the gangs, the uptick in crime, and it is all related, sandra, and people are saying do something about this. when i'm talking to tennessee sheriffs and they are telling me what cities the cartels are operating in, and where the drugs are coming from, that they are apprehending on the streets, that is a signal to this administration, get your act together, get this border secured, work with the border patrol, stop working against them and against the safety of

the american people. >> sandra: 30 seconds left here, this is the press secretary for the president claiming the president has gone to the border, real quick. >> he's been there, he's been to the border. >> i will have to get -- look back in my history books and checks the times he's been to the southern border. >> he did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2000 #. >> sandra: few seconds left. why continue to insist the president has -- can you explain that? >> yeah, i cannot. it is just beyond the pale. i mean, a drive-by is not the same thing as boots on the ground, and the american people know that, the people are smart. sandra, they want to see this border secured and this administration needs to do it. >> sandra: senator, appreciate your time today, thank you very much for joining us. john, that was multiple press secretaries, jen psaki, karine jean-pierre saying he's been there, he's done that, it really

has not happened, and there are growing calls for him to do so. >> john: i guess it depends on what your definition of visiting the border is. in a motorcade as you travel from el paso to las cruzes, new mexico, along a local road, you've been to the border but if it involves getting out of the vehicle, going to the border, seeing what it looks like, walking along the border, talking with the border patrol, talking with customs and border protection, that's also visiting the border. depends what your definition of the word is. >> sandra: you've got it. >> john: police are searching for a secretary in the quadruple murder of four idaho students, they have interviewed and cleared dozens of people. angela is going to join us later this hour with an analysis of the investigation but we first go to alexis mcadams, she's live in the town of moscow, and

alexis, you've had a chance to speak with the police chief. first sit-down interview of nearly a week. what are you expecting to learn today? >> yeah, john, we are going to sit down with him shortly here and hope to get new answers about this case. it's not a shock to investigators, some people, including the father of one of the victims want more answers but they are not sharing because they are making progress and don't want to put too much out to put the case in jeopardy. we have seen activity at the police department, people coming and going. investigators are talking to people, either clear them or connect them to the investigation. also going through different theories to clear, including one about kaylee goncalves having a stalker, investigators tell us they have interviewed two men in connection to a tip that she had a stalker, kaylee told friends a guy had followed her into a

local business and kind of weirded her out, she told them about it. police did question two men, one who was spotted following her, they say, but they do not believe this was stalking, it's an isolated incident and say the guys are not connected to the murders. now go on to the dog, a lot of people asking questions about kaylee's dog inside the house. police say that dog, you see in the tiktok video with the girl, was posted a short time ago but investigators tell us the dog was in the house at the time of the murders and was analyzed by detectives, it's important to point out, no evidence was found on the dog. they don't believe the dog was in the rooms where the crimes were committed. it's nearly a month since they were murdered, one neighbor's home backs up to the crime scene, saying police have been working hard, knocking on doors and making pretty good progress. listen. >> i have full faith in the chief and the police department and they have called in every resource there is to call in, they have a big team of experts and they are going to find the

person who did this. >> and we have seen people here from fraternities in town, specifically one of the fraternities, one of the victims was in, talking to investigators. police say it's just part of the process. they want to talk to everybody and anybody to piece the timeline together, to figure out where the students were in the hours leading up to the murder. they have a pretty good picture of exactly what happened, but still some time slots for more information. >> john: at least we are getting a little more information, we look forward to your interview later. sandra. >> sandra: andy biggs says he had challenge kevin mccarthy in january for the speaker's gavel, made that in an op-ed today. he and four other republicans said they would not support mccarthy in his bid to become speaker. john. >> john: sandra, healthcare systems overwhelmed all across

the country as the u.s. sees alarming surge of the flu and similar viruses. why people are headed to the hospital at the highest rate in more than a decade. >> sandra: and john, could a beefed up irs have its eyes on you? a new policy could mean it would send you an extra tax form for something as simple as selling a couch. why is president biden targeting everyday americans versus corporations. we'll talk about that next. ♪♪ psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear.

>> before a big game i don't sleep because i'm ready. so i want y'all to get ready. >> don't spike the football before we get it into the end zone. we are going to win. >> sandra: for the second time in a month, voters in georgia are back to the polls to see who they want to represent them in the divided u.s. senate, and choice between herschel walker and rafael warnock will have broad implications for the rest of the country. complete coverage begins now. illinois congressman is just moments away, but charles watson is live in atlanta. how is turnout looking, charles? >> hey, good afternoon, sandra. not bad at all. the georgia secretary of state office says they expect more than 1 million people to get out and cast a vote today, and so far folks are not having to wait long at all to cast their ballots. meantime, incumbent democrat

senator rafael warnock and republican herschel walker are trying to get more out to the polls. walker in marietta georgia, he shook hands and took pictures, and big assist from georgia governor brian kemp. take a listen. >> i voted for herschel walker, i want to encourage you to do the same. we have to have a big turnout to win this thing. >> a vote for my opponent is a vote for joe biden and a vote for chuck schumer, and he's showing you that a vote for me is a vote for georgia values. >> meantime, warnock kicked off a canvassing event this, knocking on doors, the warnock campaign is hoping a strong turnout and what they believed

to be a good showing in the nearly 2 million votes cast during early voting will be enough for the senator to win re-election. that said, this race is different than the last run-off when he beat the republican, georgia's new voting law cut the voting period by five weeks. 1.8 million early votes this year is nothing to sneeze at, overall, it is down by nearly 40% compared to the 3.1 million people who voted early in 2021. the so, let's just say the warnock campaign is cautiously optimistic. >> i worry that we will see this massive early voter turnout and some will decide that we don't need your voice and we do. there is still a path for herschel walker to win this race. >> for a week we have been talking to experts who said this is a game of attrition and turnout, and seems like both of these candidates got the

message. sandra. >> sandra: charles watson in atlanta following the big race on election day, thank you. i'm going to take you to the touch screen real quick before john brings in the congressman. we are taking a look, obviously, at georgia, and the big race we are waiting on here, and when you look at the early voter turnout, i mean, this tells a big part of the story that we are seeing right now. it's looking good for warnock when you look at the early voter turnout, just showing you the number that charles watson highlighted, nearly 1.9 million, 27% of registered voters, that's early in-person voting and mail-in ballots that have been returned. that is running below 2021 levels, but that is what we are seeing so far. when you go into where the candidates are going to be campaigning today, cobb county, as far as the results from the midterm elections, cobb county, walker will be on the ground today. he's trying to run up his

midterm election vote outcome, trying to shrink the margin there, that's where he's going to spend his day. that is the third-ranked population in the state. fulton county is number one, as far as where most of the votes will come from, home to atlanta, georgia. as far as population rate, dekalb county, run up the vote there, run the table. high margin of victory in the midterm election turnout there, and just north of dekalb, gwinett county, warnock is trying to run up the margin there, almost 60% then, if he turns out that vote this time around, that's looking good for him. that's what we are watching on election day, a couple key counties, obviously surrounding the atlanta area there, john. >> john: all about getting people out to the polls if they hope to counter the early voting on the democratic side. more americans could face increased scrutiny from the irs

after they lowered the payment reporting threshold on apps like venmo and paypal. bring in illinois congressman, also assistant whip for the democratic caucus, all your titles, we barely have time left to talk to you, welcome, good to have you with us. >> great to be with you. >> john: lay out what the changes are to the transaction reporting process for these apps like venmo and paypal. currently you have to have payments of $20,000 to fill out a 1099k. the new threshold will be $600. a number of transactions a year to trigger reporting used to be 200, now it's 1. president biden pledged he was going to go after high income earners and corporations to get more tax money. looks like he's going after middle and lower income earners here. >> yeah, i don't agree with that particular rule, so i've actually co-sponsored

legislation to radcally increase the threshold and today i'm asking leadership to include some delay of the rule or increase in the threshold on a bipartisan basis, as part of the year-end spending package, john. >> john: why don't you agree with this? >> i don't agree with it. a lot of people receive a 1099k for money which is really not taxable income. so say that you actually got a taylor swift ticket somehow, miraculously, and say you actually resold it because you could not attend a concert. well, most likely you did not have taxable income because the price at which you resold the ticket was probably lower than the price at which you purchased it. so you actually experienced a loss. and that happens repeatedly when people sell used stuff or preowned stuff. >> john: except when it comes to taylor swift tickets. i don't want to do a little reality check here on you, but if you have a taylor swift

ticket at face value, you could make a tidy profit on it if you were to resell it. republicans in the house, ways and means committee, sold a couch, resold tickets at the price you paid or extra work on the side you could trigger greater scrutiny from the internal revenue service. tax experts warn it will trigger a flood of 1099k forms, as many as 20 million, overwhelm irs agents. it was in the american rescue plan. how did it ever get passed? >> this particular piece of the rules needed to be adjusted and i think people like myself and others had sponsored legislation do so after the fact. routinely there is legislation that gets passed and then corrected and you know, succeeding years, a good example, the tax cuts and jobs act. a lot of my republican colleagues and i are still trying to fix the salt cap which is really messed up and raised

taxes on a lot of middle class homeowners in my district and numerous others. >> john: i want to ask you something the president said, he's not going to visit the border in arizona, so far 50,000 people illegally this fiscal year alone only one month into it, what peter doocy asked and what the president said. >> why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> there are more important things going on, invest millions of dollars in a new enterprise. >> he was asked why go to a border state and not visit the border. he said there are more important things going on. what do you think of that statement? >> well, i don't know the president's agenda, i've actually visited our border patrol along with my colleagues on a republican and democratic basis on a bipartisan bases, we

have changes to fix on a bipartisan basis and along with that, fix the legal immigration system at the same time as you well know. >> john: do you think he should go there? >> i think that it should been included on his agenda and visit the border. i think our customs and border patrol probably has input that would be valuable. at the same time, i hope my republican colleagues would visit some of these legal immigration services centers that are just overwhelmed with people who want to legally migrate here and who can't because of major problems in our current laws. >> john: we are out of time, how do you see the georgia senate race stacking up? >> i think there's a lot of energy on the ground, i was just there this weekend, trying to mobilize, energize and organize the asian-american vote and i think reverend senator warnock

will pull it out but super close and it's going to come down to how many folks his canvassers, warnock or door knock, you know, in this last hours here. >> john: no question that democrats are very good at getting ballots for their candidates out. good to spend time with you. appreciate it. >> sandra: investigators trying to track down a killer as the university of idaho mourns four students murdered in their off campus home. police have been fairly quiet through this process. are they any closer to finding a suspect? we will ask a local reporter who also just graduated from the college last year. what she is hearing on the ground. >> john: and senators itching towards an immigration deal the democrats are trying to pass before they lose control of the house. but are republicans signing on to this? being sold a false bill of goods. we'll put that question to katie pavlich and ask her whether

immigration could prove to be a pivotal issue in 2024. >> if this were to pass, there would be amnesty for the group they want amnesty for, and there would be no enforcement. and this is such a complete joke. more. if you're a veteran homeowner and need cash, call newday and use your powerful va home loan benefit. it lets you borrow up to 100% of your home's value, not just 80%. and with home values near record highs, you could have a lot more cash than you think. at newday, you could take out an average of $60,000 to pay down high rate credit cards, consolidate personal loans, and car loans. call now. ♪ subway's drafting 12 new subs for the all-new subway series menu the new monster has juicy steak and crispy bacon. but what about the new boss? it looks so good it makes me hangry! settle down there, big guy the new subway series. what's your pick? >> tech: when you get a chip in your windshield...

companies want to control not only what you think but what you say. they are suing over what they say is collusion with big tech. take a listen. >> what we discovered in that deposition was that he was privy to many drafts of the initial report that came out that sought to discredit and call anybody a conspiracy theorist who talked about the lab leak. he tried to discredit the lab leak and censor people, he knew it could come back to him because they were funding it. >> the same platforms are facing the wrath of elon musk and conservatives but the white house sought to downplay friday's twitter gate revelations. >> it's not healthy, won't do anything to help a single american improve their lives. and so look, this is -- we see it as an interesting, you know, coincidence and you know, it's a

let's bring in our next guest. angela palermo, a reporter for the idaho statesman. i know it's heartbreaking and horrific for you and your friends and fellow students, you are just a year out from graduating college at this university. how is everybody doing on the ground there, angela? >> hi, thanks for having me. i think people are really scared, especially, you know, even the broader community, it's hard to go about daily life, not knowing who did this or why. and the police have not named any suspects yet, so i think students are a bit scared. >> i'm sorry, i'm just digging through, seems to be some new reporting that's coming in just as we are having this conversation now, that the police are zeroing in on movements of the murdered student couple who attended the frat house hours before they and their two roommates were stabbed

to death in their beds. this is just in, it's apparently a new statement via the police there in moscow, idaho, saying that they are seeking more information on the movement of these two victims, ethan and xana, can i get your reaction as we are learning more about this in this police statement? >> sure, we know that ethan and xana were at a party at a fraternity on campus, sigma ki, we know they were there from around 8:00 p.m. to around 1:00 a.m. the day of the homicides, but i can't comment at all on the information that was just released. >> okay, we will dig for more information on that as we all know, the information coming from the police has been slow through this process, and many

who know the investigative process say that is entirely ok with them, bill daly believes they are making progress and that they will eventually find this suspect. angela, can i ask you about what you are hearing as far as your reporting on the ground there, anything that you can share with us that you are hearing from local authorities on the ground? >> i know that local authorities say they are confident they are going to solve this case and find the person or persons who did this. so far they have not narrowed it down to whether it was one person or more than one person who committed these crimes. but they are confident that they will solve the case, so that's what we are hearing, you know, they have been getting a lot of tips, a lot of information coming in from the community about what might have happened that night and people that might be connected so they are following up on every lead that they have. >> sandra: i just want to play this out, since you obviously were a student and there are so many students affected by this. you graduated just a year ago.

sort of what we are hearing from some of the other students on and around campus, angela, listen. >> makes me very nervous. very nervous. i'm just hoping that they have someone in mind. >> definitely confusing and we are kind of hoping that we get some answers soon. >> the public doesn't get to be informed like this, and at this time we feel like we really should. >> sandra: a brutal time for all of those students and now the university of idaho, through the executive director of communications is reporting that it's estimated about 25 to 40% of students have not returned to campus, angela. >> yes, and this week is dead week, the week before finals so a lot of students did go home for the thanksgiving break and did not come back. i think a lot of parents did not want to send their students back, so much uncertainty, and

students don't feel comfort areable or feel more comfortable being at home and so the university has been really flexible with students allowing them to attend classes via zoom, if they choose to, you know, some people who do have to be in-person for some classes if they have biology lab or something to that nature, but a lot of students, as you know, are choosing not to. >> sandra: i'll let you go in a second, i know you are going to put out another write-up what you are learning on the ground there. had you ever been to that house? >> i have never been to the house. >> sandra: ok, you know how it is around the campuses, some of the houses get visited frequently, wondered if you had passed through at some point. thank you for joining us, angela, and our heart breaks for that campus and all the students affected by thshgs and certainly the victims. appreciate you joining us. we'll check back in with you. >> john: ukraine punching back against russia with the most

took place will never go away. more than 100 civilians, many women and children were found buried in a mass grave and no amount of new construction will ever change that. but in their honor, this once devastated ukrainian community will not sit broken. >> you see, now in the state everyone is trying to help to do something. >> russian forces tried levelling their homes, smashing the roads, eradicating their way of life. but no amount of fire power can destroy their spirit. >> it would become even better. everything will be rebuilt. everything will be fine. the main thing is for us to be in good health and they will not break us. >> we are also learning about another strike within the borders of russia. yesterday, two reported at an air base in russia, another today at an air field, russia is blaming ukrainian drones. however, ukraine is neither confirming nor denying it.

>> john: president joe biden is on his way to arizona but once again visiting a border state without actually going to see the migrant crisis on the border for himself. katie pavlich will talk more about this. rewind the clock to a few hours ago when peter doocy asked the president this question as he was going out to the helicopter. >> why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> because there are more important things going on. they are going to invest millions of dollars in a new enterprise. >> john: there are more important things going on, which brought this response from the national border patrol council president brandon judd, nothing

is more important than the safety and security of the american people but to president biden it is an afterthought. a lot of important things in this world, the president sounds a little tone deaf. >> he also sounds like he does not know how to multi-task. if you are the president of the united states and going to a border state, katie hobbs, incoming governor says the federal government has not made attention, and kelly, has said the federal government does not understand this issue, so now he has a chance to go this and hear from the people fighting this problem on the ground, whether it's people who are suffering from the fentanyl crisis in their communities or parts of arizona under the control of narco terrorists in the mexican cartels, running drugs and human beings through the area over and over again. heard a lot about texas. but arizona has huge problems of illegal immigration as well, and so for the president to say that

it's not an important topic, i guess i'm not surprised, this is what they have said all along, the white house press secretary was asked about the issue yesterday and why he won't go to the border after saying falsely he had been there last week, look, she thinks it's a political stunt to go to the border but the border patrol agents putting their lives on the line every day battling dangerous people and local law enforcement, by the way, are the ones who are saying well, actually be nice if you came and not just see it as a political stunt. >> democratic congressman on in the last hour and thought it was important for the president to go down there. senators tom tillis and kirsten sinema have a bipartisan effort to launch a pathway to legitimacy, legitmization to 2 million dreamers, and extend title 42. is that legislation going to go

anywhere? >> they say it's an old draft that circulating, trying to maybe get the talks, ten republicans to get this across the finish line. when it comes to the 2 million dreamers, also talk that that's not the only 2 million people they would also be extended to sponsoring family members could also come here, a bigger amnesty plan than just helping people brought by their parents. and makes the problem worse according to what is in it, fund new processing centers, and new border patrol agents, so until you make the standard for asylum higher, rather than having to say 2, 3 words about having fear in your home country, this problem will continue to persist. like having a leak in the roof and instead of patching, you put out a bucket and when the bucket fills up, you move it over and put another bucket in. until they fix that, this problem is not going away. >> john: legislation would provide $25 billion.

great to get your thoughts on things. >> sandra: democrats losing ground in one of the blueest cities. a new york city council member will take on a former ally in a battle. why he thinks democrats have let down his city and country. and debbie dingle as "america reports" rolls into hour two. , and one thing i learned being a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody.

>> john: brand-new at 2:00, another unattended consequence going soft on crime. bail reform laws like criminals walk out of jail, some blue state democrats are walking out on their own party. >> sandra: elected leader in new york city served just a year before deciding it is time to ditch the d. he's with us live to explain what happened to make him so ashamed to be a democrat that he is now joined the gop.
