was hard for me to take those four hours and make an hour out of it. now i'm looking forward to doing more specials, every time i turn around everything is so absurd and ridiculous, i started writing more and more and more and it was like being reborn. >> oh, i love that. >> we are so excited for you, we are so excited for the extra three hours of content to come after this special right now that you can all watch on fox nation. roseanne barr, you are a delight and inspiration. >> you are so sweet. thank you so much. >> here is "america reports." >> sandra: thank you, ladies. president biden tells the american people the economy is in great shape, but the numbers tell a different story. a brand-new inflation report just out shows prices climbing nearly 6.5% compared to last year. that is a higher number than expected.

>> john: republicans took back the house largely by running on the economy, what should their plan be now that they are in control. tim scott and former counselor to president trump kellyanne conway ahead. >> i feel the evacuation order was lifted prematurely. >> i was here five minutes and i had, i have a headache right now and you can smell it. anyone who has not been here, can smell it. your cameraman spelled it. >> sandra: disaster brewing in the rust belt, some in ohio and pennsylvania unsure if their homes are actually safe to enter weeks after that train with toxic chemicals went off the rails. what a story, john. it is developing at this hour. i'm sandra smith in new york city. >> john: good to spend tuesday with you, john ro berts in new york -- no, i'm in washington. thick black smoke billowing in

the sky. officials conducted a controlled burn, evacuation spanning both states. >> sandra: the people who evacuated are back home but a spike in mysterious illnesses after the train contained even more toxic chemicals than initially reported. all of this as transportation secretary pete buttigieg takes heat for remaining mostly silent on this issue. >> john: covered from all the angles. dr. nicole, and a panel and a man that lives three miles from the accident site. >> sandra: what is the latest we are hearing from the transportation second pete buttigieg? >> the transportation secretary tweeted about eight minutes ago saying the department of transportation has been on scene from the beginning, this is buttigieg's third or fourth

tweet since last night, when he broke his silence about this. 11 days since the tragedy happened and he chose to tweet last night not in front of cameras or talk about it when he had the opportunity earlier in the day yesterday. this happened on february 3rd in east palestine, a mile from the pennsylvania border. a freight train derailed and exploded, around 50 cars were involved, ten had hazardous materials including vinyl chloride. and neighbors continue to complain about a myriad of health issue, and the toxic chemicals continue to burn and has been burning off for more than ten days. buttigieg last night tweeted i continue to be concerned about the impacts of the february 3rd train derailment and the effects on the families, lives were up ended through no fault of their own. it's important they have accurate and useful information. he spoke yesterday in front of

cameras in washington, d.c., but not one mention of the train derailment. did attempt some humor about the transportation industry. watch. >> it's had its challenges, i mean, if you look at what the american transportation systems have faced in the last 2 or 3 years, partly because of the pandemic, we have faced issues from container shipping to airline cancellations, now we have balloons. >> not only republicans, but democrats criticized buttigieg on twitter and other means calling him out for not even taking a few seconds to discuss the tragedy in ohio on the stage yesterday. his office maintains he and his team are focussed on the derailment. >> sandra: and an open invitation for him to join us at any time, the american people are waiting for answers and to weigh in more than he has.

david spunt, thank you for that. >> we can confirm all three deceased were m.s.u. students. we can also confirm at this time that all five of the injured victims at the hospital were also m.s.u. students. >> john: michigan state university police identifying the man they say went on a deadly campus rampage. they say 43-year-old anthony mcrae went on a rampage, and on the run for several hours before turning the gun on himself. idea of the motive? >> still a mystery. he was not a student, but the immediate threat has passed because mccae killed himself. an off campus locations, they confronted him and he turned the gun on himself and he died.

new york post is reporting on his person was a note threatening school districts in a municipal in new jersey. ewing district was shut down out of abundance of caution, and also that he had a long history of mental illness. not identified to this point, pending notification of next of kin, are all the students killed and injured out here. three killed, five are considered in critical condition after having gone through surgery last night. and east lansing, the m.s.u. campus has joined the grim and sad tragic fraternity of places that have endured mass shootings. >> as parents we tell our kids it's going to be ok. we say that all the time. but the truth is, words are not good enough. we must act. >> first shots were fired

shortly after 8:00 p.m. in a classroom building called berkey. two were killed there. number of injured at each location is unspecific. he fled northwest to the student union and killed one more. students fled and sheltered in place. the university sent out alerts. social media flooded with accurate information and rumor. >> the toughest thing is just not knowing. i didn't know what was true or what valid information i was getting and i was like definitely terrified because i have heard reports that there was stuff going on close to me and people that i knew that were on campus at that time so it's scary for me and other people that i know. >> image from a security camera distributed by police shows the gunman carrying a pistol. they have recovered at least one weapon in the investigation thus far. they have also searched a residence connected to mcrae.

>> john: terrible thing that happened, again. sandra. >> sandra: fox news has learned the first attempt to take out the most recent airborne object over lake huron missed its target, as crews working off the coast of south carolina have recovered large chunks of the chinese spy craft shot down last week. tim scott joined his colleagues for a briefing from the military on these downed objects and we would love to know what you learned, senator, welcome. >> thank you very much, sandra. no doubt what we have learned in the alaska situation, the first balloon, we should have shot it down earlier. certainly we have seen a lot more activity but frankly, weakness on the global stage i believe emboldens your adversary and part of the challenge is the weakness of president biden on the global stage. >> sandra: anything you can

share that led you to the determination it could have been and should have been shot down earlier? >> classified briefings are classified, so i did my best to stay away from the topics we discussed while we are in the classified briefings. >> sandra: ok, got it, sir. this is senator blumenthal weighing in on americans needing to know more about this. a democrat calling out the administration for lack of transparency on the issue. listen. >> the american people need and deserve to know more. there is a lot of information presented to us this morning that could be told to the american people without any harm to sources or methods or our national security. >> sandra: but we are not getting more information, in fact this was the president's press secretary, senator, at the white house yesterday, she only offered up a few seconds before she said she t to go, listen. >> there is no, again, no indication of aliens or

extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. again, no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with the recent takedowns. >> sandra: the comments were met with laughs by the press but no new information was offered, senator. >> well, frankly the question is not the classified hearing this morning, but should the biden administration be more forthcoming with the information necessary to help the american people understand the situation that we have today with china and frankly with being able to govern our own air space. the answer to that question is positively, absolutely, unequivocally, more information, period. not the case with the biden administration, not just now but beforehand. they had balloons before we learned about them on january 28th. the question we should be asking ourselves, how do we get this president do his job when it matters the most and we have not seen that. that has more to do with the way he leads and less with what we heard this morning. without any question, we should have more information on the consistent basis, given to the

american people about the challenges we face and to protect citizens on the ground and the air. >> sandra: john kirby took time to answer questions but did not offer up a lot of new information other than confirming china has a balloon program and has for quite some time and they could develop it further and it could be, you know, a force to reckon with. i want to ask you about the economy. it seems this president and his team tout success on the economy, yet brand-new numbers in the inflation would indicate otherwise. inflation running much hotter than expected, up 6.4% year over year. senator, you know very well this is something the american people are grappling with every single day. >> absolutely, sandra. and inflation was higher this month than last month. they expected a precipitous drop, they can't see that. and people who grew up like i

did, single parent household, 40% higher in gas, more than 20% in electricity and food up more than 20%. people working paycheck to paycheck cannot afford a single extra dime spent on necessities. seniors with fixed incomes need every penny they have. and the inflationary effect we are seeing in this administration, not just in this economy, but this administration is three times higher than what the fed says should be our target of 2%. we have done better, just a few years ago we had inflation slightly under 2%, but when you throw $4 trillion of gasoline on a fire you should expect it to explode. and that's exactly what we have seen in the economy so far. >> sandra: and now there are a lot of republicans running on just that, they can fix the economy as we look forward to 2024 and the big presidential race. nikki haley, ambassador, south carolina, official with her announcement. >> it's time for a new

generation of leadership. to rediscover fiscal responsibility, secure our border, and strengthen our country, our pride, and our purpose. i'm nikki haley, and i'm running for president. >> sandra: ok, she's made it official, senator. i'll put you on the spot. are you making it official? the wall street journal says you are preparing for a presidential run, true? >> you know, i think the most important thing is the mission that we have, the mission we have is making sure that we restore hope and create opportunities for working class americans. a faith in america tour so we can listen to the american people but the truth is the title should be less important, the mission of serving the greatest land on earth, and the people within it. and that is my mission, and god bless my -- blessed me with the ability to be a united states senator, i look forward to continuing to hear across the country what the priorities of the american people are. i will say this, sandra. we need an optimistic positive message that brings our country

back together because we are in the midst of a cultural strive we have not seen in a number of years. >> sandra: i hear a yes, i hear a yes, tim scott is running -- let me get one quick final thought. your senior adviser is quoted in the journal saying you are excited to share your vision of hope and opportunity to hear the american people's response. wall street journal then writes it's not clear yet, some people close to scott acknowledge whether or not the gop base is enthusiastically embracing and whether or not you can combat trump with your message. what say you to that? >> sandra, the most important thing to do, keep my focus on the people. having been a kid growing up in poverty, this country afforded me an opportunity to live my american dream in a way that no other country on earth would allow. it was not possible to see my story happen but mine is the same as millions across the great land and the question with you should ask ourselves, is

there an appetite for more of what we have seen in the past. i think the answer is yes. >> sandra: keep us posted, senator. appreciate you joining us on that. thank you so much. i don't know, i kind of hear a yes there but confirming he's getting the message out there and senior adviser says they are sheaing a vision -- they are sharing a vision of hope, the field seems to be getting bigger. >> john: what i heard is responses well thought out and practiced. >> sandra: true, well done, senator. >> john: newly released 911 calls, in the murder of a new jersey councilwoman. what one witness told police as the search for the killer continues. >> sandra: and the train derailment to damage the town for years. toxic chemicals for some time.

one fire chief says it was nuked with chemicals. pete buttigieg has been slow to respond to this. our panel has some thoughts on that. >> we have had hundreds of train derailments after we spent over a trillion dollars on infrastructure in this country. the fact it's not obviously getting better is a major indictment of the people spending the money. k. the rate on credit cards is now over 22%. if you want to save hundreds of dollars every month, pay off the balances on your high-rate cards with a lower rate va home loan from newday usa and get the financial peace of mind every veteran deserves. no one takes care of veterans like newday usa. chevy silverado factory-lifted trucks. where will they take you? ♪

>> sandra: a chilling 911 tape released from the night a new jersey councilwoman was shot and killed outside of her home. laura, what are we now learning from those calls? >> yeah, we are learning all kinds of different voices on these calls, and one of the 911 callers can be heard telling dispatchers he heard gunshots when he was in his bathtub, eight others called to report the terrifying moments when the sound of gunfire erupted along a quiet cul-de-sac in new jersey and one of them said he saw the shooting. listen. >> gunshots, i looked out my window, i saw a man shooting into the driver's side of a white vehicle. three times. >> fox news digital obtaining

the recordings from the night 30-year-old eunice dwumfour was killed. they say she was shot multiple times causing her to crash the white suv into a couple of parked cars. listen to what another witness told 911. >> he left on foot, ran into one of the hallways on foot, and the white car just drove up and crashed into two cars, the person in the driver's side car is probably not alive. >> the callers could not identify much more about the suspect, grainy footage from the scene captured a person running. investigators hope more people will come forward with any other surveillance video or information in the case. police are also asking for dash cam video from drivers in the area between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m., the timeline of the murder. dwumfour's family and friends

are struggling to understand who was behind the shooting, she was previously a pastor, e.m.t., worked with a church-based non-profit. >> sandra: thank you very much, laura. >> john: top story on the train derailment in ohio. widespread sickness and animals dying after the controlled release and burning of hazardous chemicals on board the train. pete buttigieg is getting bipartisan criticism for silence and inaction on the derailment and aftermath. cassie, vice president of coin and kevin walling, great to see you. >> great to be with you. >> john: so we have the gas in the air there, epa says the toxic chemicals are getting into the waterways, reports of animals dying and yet yesterday at the national association of

counties the transportation secretary, pete buttigieg, talked about racial disparities in the labor market, he talked about climate change, he talked about infrastructure, transportation issue, not a peep, though, about the train. >> we have faced issues from container shipping, to airline cancellations, now we have balloons [laughter] but also the best time ever to be working transportation because of these resources and we know ultimately it's in the hands of those who are on the ground. >> john: so all this stuff but no mention about the train derailment. where is mayor pete, is the question people in ohio are asking. >> certainly the department of transportation has a role with mitigating so this does not happen again and analyzing the safety measures involved. the fact we have seen so many train derailments recently is problematic to all of us, and the secretary has a real role with that.

epa is a lead agency in terms of hazardous materials. >> john: should the transportation secretary -- >> i think it was a missed opportunity. it did involve rail cars, under the pursue of the department of transportation, but clearly you are seeing a lack of communication with issues like this, with issues like the balloon, where i think there's a disconnect with the fear that people have, 5,000 residents in east palestine that just want answers, i think the administration should appoint a point person to mitigate that disaster, to speak on the record, their fears, along with the balloon situation. overcommunicate as opposed to not communicate. >> john: he said nothing about this, he tweeted last night after ilhan omar tweeted the derailment will have an impact on health and well-being decades. we need direct action from pete

buttigieg to address this. >> absent yet again. >> absent, and kevin, you glossed over something. more than a dozen train derailments in the first month and a half of this year, and where is pete buttigieg on that. we should be getting towards a presidential address, not just a comment from the transportation secretary. something is going on, this administration purports to put climate above all else, this is a climate crisis happening in ohio right now, some calling this the ohio chernobyl. these poor people and the epa is saying it's ok, return to your homes, you are good to go, nothing to see here and yet you have had people saying within five minutes of being back, i had a headache. i don't feel safe. >> john: we'll be talking to a resident in the area next hour as well. and here in washington, d.c.,

some intelligence officials that wrote the letter saying the hunter laptop story seemed to have russian disinformation. clapper said oh, the headline was all taken out of context, we didn't mean to say it was russian disinformation. he is backtracking now, but it was not just politico that picked this up, it was the now president of the united states. listen here. >> look -- there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this, he's accusing me of is a russian plan. all -- four -- five former heads of the c.i.a., both parties, say what he's saying is bunch of garbage. >> john: a little late for clapper to be blaming politico, and in october, why was he not saying it was taken out of context. >> context is important in this, and the president sawed it was

not just democratic intelligence officials, but republican intelligence officials warning about the issues of russian disinformation. i think you are seeing in the last month these oversight committee, both on weaponization committee, the china committee, now the oversight with james comer, looking into these issues. almost a nothing burger so far in the hunter laptop issue. they called before congress twitter, twitter officials said there was no involvement of the government and the fbi specifically in warning about this story with "the new york post." so certainly more questions than answers. i'm happy james clapper is going before the committee to answer under oath his role in all this, but seemingly it's a nothing burger so far in terms of oversight with james comber. >> john: and biden saying -- what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. that sounds definitive. >> and if it's such a nothing burger, why didn't the democrats

say let's look into this so we can move on, it's a bad look the president has to keep talking about this, and a distraction, neither here nor there. >> i'm happy to stop talking about hunter biden on fox news. >> twitter suppressed freedom of press. took it upon themselves. >> and that was one of the findings, it was twitter, not the government, but twitter made the decision. >> john: i'm glad you are agreeing on something. >> valentine's day no less. >> john: wondering about the treat, reunited with c.m. smedley for valentine's day, heart? >> you'll get us in trouble with her husband and my fiancee'. this is how rumors start. >> i brought both of you chocolates for valentine's day. >> happy valentine's day. >> sandra: very sweet. is 13 years old too young to be on social media? the surgeon general thinks so.

now some senators are calling for a minimum age for all those popular apps to help protect our children. but should it be up to lawmakers or parents? >> john: new inflation numbers out this morning and the arrow pointing up. so, why does the white house say their economic policies are working? kellyanne conway weighs in next. >> to put these arbitrary timelines of ten years, that's why so many oil companies are pulling back their investments in the united states, because they don't know what crazy idea is coming next from this white house. no. he's making real-time money moves with merrill. so no matter what the market's doing, he's ready. and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we support immune function. supply fuel for immune cells and sustain tissue health. ensure with twenty-five vitamins and minerals, and ensure complete

voya. well planned. well invested. well protected. >> sandra: brand-new numbers on the economy flashing red, annual inflation coming in hotter than expected. all of this as the president continues to take victory laps on his performance on the economy saying his policies are working to bring down prices. kellyanne conway, former trum counselor to the president and k.a. consulting and fox news contributor. we have had a lot of chats about the economy and watching it over the last couple of years, and prices have only gone but this new report would indicate otherwise. >> my expertise is public opinion and the public does not believe the spin from the white house and don't even believe some of the most rosy macro economic reports that would

suggest what you just said, maybe inflation has peaked, avoid a recession. if people are feeling it day-by-day, keep your family fed, a roof over your head, the lights on literally, if you want to fuel your car or your home heating, you are being socked every which way by rising prices. people know there are rising costs and rising crime in the communities and both are vexxing them. and fox news polling the end of january, big majorities of women, hispanics, suburbanicall coupon years under joe biden's policies. look, when the white house has economic advisers and experts tell us eggs are $0.70 cheaper, everything is looking better, they are insulting people. if you ignore the public's will, you are insulting what the public is telling you. >> sandra: and real statement on an administration official on

egg prices. it's not so bad, prices are going up slower than we werecon today. >> i'm happy to report that the state of the union and the state of our economy is strong. >> our president's making real progress in our economy, and our place in the world, reducing prescription drug prices, helping the average american family. >> he took action to make sure we got the economy back up and running. look, when you think about the economy, what the president has done is transformed the way we think about it. >> sandra: based on all the polling you just cited, kellyanne, ask what world they are living in and why they are shopping. they are clearly not feeling what everyday americans are, and in addition to the polling, respondents are saying that 64% of the country is living paycheck to paycheck to manage their way through the inflation crisis. the inflation reduction act, to be clear, we know when this was

passed that there was not a lot in there to actually bring down prices, kellyanne. >> that's correct, sandra. in fact, administration officials no less than the climate czar, john kerry admitted it's a climate bill. that passed on a partisan basis. not a single republican vote for that, it did no such thing as reduce inflation and sandra, more importantly some senators in tight races if not purple or red states in 2024, they voted for the inflation reduction act. this country was energy independent not long ago. first time in u.s. history, net exporter of natural gas and oil. not only did he kill the pipeline jobs domestically out of spite, not ideology or economics, but now look at the strategic petroleum reserve. the lowest level since 1983. it exists to meet our

obligations under international energy agreements, and the disruptions are because of natural disasters or war, so the gulf war, hurricane katrina. not man-made disasters. >> sandra: can you throw it up on the screen, take a look. go ahead. >> it's scary. not to tap into it because of a man-made disaster, it's for things like the libyan war, the gulf war, hurricane katrina, everybody remembers the natural disasters and the wars but you don't dip into the strategic petroleum reserve. where i worked, the last administration, pre-pandemic, 13 million barrels a day, now tapping into the reserve. >> sandra: crazy when you think about how the former president tried to refill the spr at $24 a barrel and now this administration is touting that they are able to fill it at 80. that's like prices have come down from 100, this is great.

it really is, it's a predicament that we are all in, because you saw the depletion on the chart. kellyanne, thank you, appreciate the discussion. >> thank you, sandra. >> sandra: john. >> john: good to see she got back from arizona as well. cdc adding the covid vaccine to the list of shots recommended for kids, but is putting the shot in the same category as other routine shots dangerous? dr. nicole. >> sandra: and alec murdaugh trial, bloodstains found on items belonging to murdaugh be enough for conviction. mark is here. and save hundreds every month. there are no upfront fees to apply. hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo.

>> john: south carolina prosecutors close to wrapping up their case against alex murdaugh on the double murder trial of his wife and son. a forensic scientist says stains on a white at that shirt are dna samples. and joining us now is criminal defense attorney, and mark, let's go to the dna on the white t-shirt. forensic scientist testified that there were 74 samples taken from the t-shirt, a mixture of dna believed to be alex, his wife and son's, and the defense attorney said how many showed blood, she said none. we have some confounding information here. >> absolutely. you know, after c.s.i. somehow made a killing, everybody

expects to see scientific evidence that ties someone to the crime scene and proves the case. the question the jurors are asking is if you believe that he's somebody who used a shotgun on his beloved wife and son there would be blood splatter on his shirt. and if it's not there, that's a problem. >> john: shotgun and high powered hunting rifle. the shotgun, according to the autopsy, was fired from about three feet away, and you would think there would be some splatter back from a shot that close. two shots as well. >> right. i think that this is going to come down to splattered or soaked. there was some discussion that they are going to have some blood somewhere and if it's soaked, that's consistent with him going over and checking the pulse of his loved ones that he checked on versus any splatter if they do come up with evidence to suggest there was some splatter, that would be more consistent with the prosecution's theory.

>> john: is it just me, mark, or does the prosecution's case look a little thin here? >> well, we are not on the jury, so we don't know. we do know they were in tears yesterday after seeing just unbelievably sympathetic evidence about the crime scene and what really happened. you know, it comes down to do they believe, for example, his voice was the one on his son's recording. that would mean he's there at the crime scene and thus he's, as we say in the legal circles, a big fat liar. and if that's the case, they need less evidence because they know he was there and then if he was there, you know, who else was there. >> john: is that really the key to the case then? a couple of people have testified that was alex murdaugh's voice on the recording made out by the dog kennels just before the murders occurred. is that really the key, that if the jury believes yes, he was there, even though he said he was not there, that means he is,

in your words, a big fat liar and he's guilty. >> i think that's a significant piece of evidence. it doesn't establish what they need to prove but my goodness, work backwards, you don't have an alibi, and were not where you claim you were, and grieving is nothing more than an act and my goodness you are cold and a liar, and then if he's there and not where he claims to be, and he's got motive, who else would have done this? i think yeah, i think it's pretty powerful evidence. >> john: see if the jury believes the two people who said it was voice have it correct or not. and what the jury decides to do. and two of the jurors had to be replaced by alternates what they tested positive for covid. so another wrinkle in the case. mark, great to get your opinion on things. >> sandra: the u.s. military
